Close to a quarter of a million people have been infected this year alone.  The World Health Organization (WHO) says this is the world's largest and fastest-moving epidemic.  Measles in DR Congo has now killed more than twice the number who have died of Ebola there in the last 15 months.  The Congolese government and the WHO launched an emergency vaccination programme in September that aimed to inoculate more than 800,000 children.  But poor infrastructure, attacks on health centres and a lack of access to routine healthcare have all hindered efforts to stop the spread of the disease.  Four million children have been vaccinated, but experts warn that this amounts to less than half of the total in the country - and not enough vaccines are available.  The majority of those infected with measles in the country are infants.  What is measles?  Measles is a virus that initially causes a runny nose, sneezing and fever.  A few days later it leads to a blotchy rash that starts off on the face and spreads across the body.  Most people will recover, but measles can cause life-long disability. It can be deadly, especially if it causes pneumonia in the lungs or encephalitis (swelling in the brain).  It is estimated that a global total of 110,000 people die from measles each year.

In 2016 and 2017, already add up to more than 41 dead in the European Union because of the measles. The majority, in Romania, but increase the cases in Italy, France, and Great Britain has just launched an alert for two outbreaks in Leeds and Liverpool. According to statistics from the health agencies, in some countries, such as Romania, there were already more than 9,000 cases by the fall in immunization rates, which is leading several countries to discuss imposing mandatory vaccination. In Britain, the health authorities and the british have asked the citizens, if they suspect that you may suffer from the measles, stay home and put immediately in contact with your doctor cabera or call the National Health Service. The alert was declared after registering two outbreaks independent of the disease in Leeds and Liverpool, with around thirty cases amongst children and young people who have not been vaccinated. The problem, which puts at risk the health of the population and goes back several years, health policies to be successful, is produced by the fall in the rate of immunization, and the advance of the movement antivacunas. More than 5,000 cases in Italy in 2017 In 2017, has reported more than 5,000 cases of measles in Italy. The situation is of serious concern to Europe because not only multiplied the cases, but that is hospitalizando four out of every ten affected children. The problem has a responsible: movements antivacunas. 89% of all cases were not vaccinated and 6% more had only received the first dose of the vaccine.

"13107","Image copyright SPL Image caption Measles is a highly infectious viral illness that can be deadly  Cases of measles in Europe have hit a record high, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).  More than 41,000 people have been infected in the first six months of 2018, leading to 37 deaths.  Last year there were 23,927 cases and the year before 5,273. Experts blame this surge in infections on a drop in the number of people being vaccinated.  In England, there have been 807 cases so far this year. The WHO is calling on European countries to take action.  Public Health England say the outbreaks in England are largely due to people who have travelled to areas of mainland Europe that have had outbreaks.  Measles is highly infectious and spreads by droplets in coughs and sneezes.  The infection lasts seven to 10 days. But while most people recover completely, it can cause some serious complications, including:  encephalitis (infection and swelling of the brain)  meningitis  febrile convulsions  pneumonia  liver infection (hepatitis)  The MMR vaccine can prevent infection but discredited research 20 years ago that erroneously linked MMR to autism has stopped some people from trusting the vaccine.  The NHS recommends all children receive the MMR around their first birthday and then just before starting school.  Ukraine and Serbia are among the countries with the highest rates in Europe.  Dr Nedret Emiroglu, from the WHO, said: ""This partial setback demonstrates that every under-immunised person remains vulnerable no matter where they live and every country must keep pushing to increase coverage and close immunity gaps.""  Italy's upper house of parliament recently voted through legislation to abolish the law that makes vaccination mandatory for children before they start school. The amendment will mean parents of unvaccinated children will no longer face fines.  Measles symptoms:  cold-like symptoms - runny nose, sneezing  signs the body is fighting infection - high fever, tiredness, loss of appetite, muscle aches  red, watery eyes (conjunctivitis)  greyish spots in the mouth  red, raised spots that may merge together becoming blotchy, starting around the hairline two to four days after the initial symptoms, then spreading down over the head, neck and rest of the body  Find more NHS information on measles here.  In England, there have been 807 laboratory confirmed measles cases, according to Public Health England (PHE). The highest numbers have been seen in:  London (281)  South East (166)  South West (139)  West Midlands (84)  Yorkshire and Humberside (75)  Dr Mary Ramsay, head of immunisation at PHE, said: ""We have seen a number of measles outbreaks in England which are linked to ongoing large outbreaks in Europe.  ""The majority of cases we are seeing are in teenagers and young adults who missed out on their MMR vaccine when they were children.  ""Anyone who missed out on their MMR vaccine in the past or are unsure if they had two doses should contact their GP practice to catch up.  ""We would encourage people to ensure they are up to date with their MMR vaccine before travelling to countries with ongoing measles outbreaks, heading to large gatherings such as festivals, or before starting university.""  Dr Pauline Paterson from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, said: ""With a vaccine preventable disease, one case is one too many, and the numbers of measles cases so far this year is astounding.""",192583,"uk"
"14108","Image copyright Getty Images  More than 140,000 people died from measles last year as the number of cases around the world surged once again, official estimates suggest.  Most of the lives cut short were children aged under five.  The situation has been described by health experts as staggering, an outrage, a tragedy and easily preventable with vaccines.  Huge progress has been made since the year 2000, but there is concern that incidence of measles is now edging up.  In 2018, the UK - along with Albania, the Czech Republic and Greece, lost their measles elimination status.  And 2019 could be even worse.  The US is reporting its highest number of cases for 25 years, while there are large outbreaks in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Madagascar and Ukraine.  The Pacific nation of Samoa has declared a state of emergency and unvaccinated families are hanging red flags outside their homes to help medical teams find them.  What is measles?  Measles is a highly infectious virus spread in droplets from coughs, sneezes or direct contact  It can hang in the air or remain on surfaces for hours  Measles often starts with fever, feeling unwell, sore eyes and a cough followed by a rising fever and rash  At its mildest, measles makes children feel very miserable, with recovery in seven-to-10 days - but complications, including ear infections, seizures, diarrhoea, pneumonia and brain inflammation, are common  The disease is more severe in the very young, in adults and in people with immunity problems  What are the numbers?  The global estimates are calculated by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the US Centers for Diseases Control and Prevention.  They show:  In 2000 - there were 28.2 million cases of measles and 535,600 deaths  In 2017 - there were 7.6 million cases of measles and 124,000 deaths  In 2018 - there were 9.8 million cases of measles and 142,000 deaths  Measles cases do not go down every year - there was an increase between 2012 and 2013, for example.  However, there is greater concern now that progress is being undone as the number of children vaccinated stalls around the world.  ""The fact that any child dies from a vaccine-preventable disease like measles is frankly an outrage and a collective failure to protect the world's most vulnerable children,"" said Dr Tedros Ghebreysus, director-general of the WHO.  Media playback is unsupported on your device Media caption 'Vaccine fears cost me my children'  How are the numbers calculated?  Every single case of measles cannot be counted. In 2018, only 353,236 cases were officially recorded (out of the 7.8 million estimated).  So scientists perform complex maths for each country.  They take reported cases, the population size, deaths rates, the proportion of children vaccinated and more to eventually produce a global estimate.  Dr Minal Patel, who performed the number-crunching, told the BBC: ""We've had a general trajectory downwards for deaths, which is great. Everyone involved in vaccination programmes should be very proud.  ""But we've been stagnating in numbers of deaths for about the past seven years, and what's really concerning is from last year we've gone up, and it looks like we've gone backwards.""  What is going on?  In short, not enough children are being vaccinated.  In order to stop measles spreading, 95% of children need to get the two doses of the vaccine.  But the figures have been stubbornly stuck for years at around 86% for the first jab, and 69% for the second.  Media playback is unsupported on your device Media caption It's a numbers game... if some people are not vaccinated, it can cause a big problem for us all  Why enough children are not being vaccinated is more complicated - and the reasons are not the same in every country.  The biggest problem is access to vaccines, particular in poor countries.  The five worst-affected countries in 2018 were Democratic Republic of Congo, Liberia, Madagascar, Somalia and Ukraine.  The Ebola outbreak in Liberia (2014-16) and plague in Madagascar (2017) have taken a toll on their healthcare systems.  ""Democratic Republic of Congo, Somalia and Ukraine, the other countries hardest-hit by measles, each face conflicts, with DRC additionally battling a serious Ebola outbreak and rampant distrust,"" Prof Heidi Larson, from the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, explained.  The other issue is people who do have access to vaccines choosing not to immunise their children.  Will things be worse next year?  It looks likely.  The number of reported cases by mid-November this year was 413,000 compared with 353,000 for the whole of last year.  What do the experts say?  Henrietta Fore, Unicef's executive director, said: ""The unacceptable number of children killed last year by a wholly preventable disease is proof that measles anywhere is a threat to children everywhere.""  Dr Seth Berkley, chief executive of Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, said: ""It is a tragedy that the world is seeing a rapid increase in cases and deaths from a disease that is easily preventable with a vaccine.  ""While hesitancy and complacency are challenges to overcome, the largest measles outbreaks have hit countries with weak routine immunisation and health systems.""  Prof Larson said: ""These numbers are staggering. Measles, the most contagious of all vaccine-preventable diseases, is the tip of the iceberg of other vaccine-preventable disease threats and should be a wake-up call.""

March 2020 must prove all of the children and employees of public institutions of a measles-Vaccination - otherwise, exclusion or high fines. What you need to know parents and staff now. The vaccination can be useful to even the smallest of children, ""in community facilities,"" said Spahn. Babies under one year should not be vaccinated for medical reasons, so that the vaccination was the case in the Two - to five-year-old all the more important to protect the even Smaller. Spahn, urged that ""every doctor, even the children's doctor"" should also be ready to vaccinate adults against measles. Children could not decide for themselves whether they would be vaccinated, argued Spahn. Therefore, a vaccination is necessary. ""Measles is not a childhood disease,"" said the CDU politician. In addition, measles were ""untreatable"". The infectious disease is highly contagious and ""a torment for children and adults"". Federal Minister of health, Jens Spahn (CDU) defended the law intensively. ""This is a child protection act in the truest sense of the word,"" said Spahn shortly before the vote in the ARD""morning magazine"". Small children needed ""special protection"". 1. March 2020, there will be a measles vaccination in Germany. The decided on Thursday, the Bundestag. In a roll-call vote 459 Deputy for the law is voted, 89 refused, 105 abstained. Vaccination: Who had the measles once, protected all of his life in front of it. Protection provides otherwise, only the vaccination. The first dose of vaccine should children of 11 to 14 months, the second with 15 to 23 - the recommendation of the Standing Committee on vaccination (Stiko). Kita-early starter may need to be vaccinated a little earlier. Adults born after 1970 should check their vaccination status and vaccination, where appropriate, to catch up on. Complications: In children with measles often go with the lungs and the middle ear accompanied by inflammation. Especially dangerous complications of measles encephalitis, which can lead to permanent brain damage or even death, and the extremely rare subacute sclerosing Panencephalitis (SSPE) are. The SSPE usually occurs years after measles, and always leads to death. A cure there is not. History: we will start without the typical skin rash, but rather with a cold and irritating cough, swollen eyes and neck pain as well as elevated temperature . After two to three days, white spots on the oral mucosa show gray skin. A few days later, the rash comes only with small and light red dots, which run together to form larger spots. - Contagion: measles, according to the Foundation for children's health one of the most contagious infectious diseases. Who has the measles, is infectious to other people without Vaccination or immunity most likely, from a few meters distance. Unprotected adults get the measles as well as children. Read also: measles make more susceptible to other diseases that you delete, the immune memory ""of vaccination fulfils the right to physical integrity"" criticism of the law, for example, from the AfD, pointed Spahn. The vaccination was a fulfillment of the Right to physical integrity, said Spahn. ""We have also eradicated the smallpox in this way,"" he said. The vaccination is valid for day-care centres, schools, other community facilities, day care, and in refugee accommodation. This also applies to the personnel operating there, as well as for employees of medical facilities. Unvaccinated children can be excluded, therefore, from the kindergarten visit, in other cases, fines. 2019 there have been 501 measles cases in Germany this year, 501 people in Germany so far, measles is ill, such as from the Online database of the Robert Koch Institute shows. The Federal government refers to the fact that measles are one of the most contagious diseases. In order to prevent the circulation of the pathogens in at least 95 percent of the population immunity required. Germany had not achieved the necessary vaccination rates but so far. Measles vaccination is coming: How to proceed now? Prior to inclusion in day-care centres, schools, other community facilities and in day care all children must demonstrate that they are vaccinated. This also applies to all who work in such Places - as well as the staff in medical institutions. The same applies in the Refugee shelters. Proven, vaccination may be due to the Vaccination card or the yellow child examination booklet. Who already before the entry into force of the act on 1. March 2020 visited a community Agency, or has worked, must have proof of up to 31. July 2021, provide. People who were born before 1970, or to whom health damage, are exempted from the vaccination. This is also true for those that the disease had already. Read also: the measles-vaccination properly, without limitation, What the parents are threatening in the event of violations? Unvaccinated children can be excluded from the visit to the nursery. Who denied himself as the representative of a community or health facility of vaccination, it is allowed to resume any activities. Parents who let their school children are not vaccinated, must reckon with fines of up to 2500 euros. The fine can also be against day care centers imposed, the non-vaccinated children to allow. The same applies to staff in community facilities, health facilities and asylum seeker accommodation. Who can vaccinate against measles? Can make the vaccination of all Doctors, except dentists. Documentation of vaccinations will also be available in electronic Form. In order to be able to remind patients automatically to schedule for booster vaccinations. Thus, the Public health service (ÖGD) can make more volunteers number of vaccinations in schools, to take over the health insurance costs. Not enough of a voluntary scheme? Measles belong to the most dangerous and most contagious infectious diseases, they can be fatal. Again and again it came out in the last years, to outbreaks. According to the most recent data from the Robert Koch Institute, 97.1 percent of school beginners have got a in Germany, the first measles vaccination. For full protection two doses are needed. In the Federal-wide average of only 93 per cent of school beginners has been administered a second dose. The aim of the Federal government a rate of at least 95 percent of the population, since only then people such as small children or the chronically Ill who can't or are not vaccinated, are protected by the immunization of the majority is sufficient. However, the vaccination coverage in the under 20 would have to be increased - to 50-Year-old. What is a vaccination for other diseases? Germany's child and youth doctors have a duty also for other infectious and call for the end of diseases such as whooping cough. The smallest children would be protected through high vaccination rates, said the President of the professional Association of child and youth doctors, Thomas Fischbach, prior to the first consultation of the measles vaccination in the Bundestag. Doctors President Frank Ulrich Montgomery had pronounced itself in favour of a duty on all vaccinations to expand, recommended by the Standing Committee on vaccination for children. Concerning the measles vaccination, de facto, introduced a requirement for Mumps and rubella, and sometimes chicken pox, because in Germany only multiple vaccines are approved. There is also criticism? The German ethics Council had voted in June unanimously against a General legal obligation to be vaccinated for measles. In this case, the panel stated that although ""a moral duty"" to themselves and their children vaccinated. This applies to vulnerable people and to future generations. Also religious reasons for Impfverweigerung let the members of the Council do not apply. However, you see the risk that coercive measures could threaten the high vaccination Coverage in the case of Minors rather. Constitutional and medical rights activists point out that vaccination against the will of the person Concerned is legally an assault and a violation of the fundamental rights to physical integrity. Critics complain that the day-to-exclusion could be a far-reaching restriction of access to educational opportunities. What are the Alternatives to vaccination would be possible? Many lawyers, doctors and the ethics Council have recommended to first go other ways to increase the vaccination rates. The experts advise therefore to communicate, in particular, the benefits of measles vaccination better and stronger on the attitude of the Impfskeptiker to respond. Some of the proposals, the measles protection act addresses already: among other things, more education is planned. Funds may not remember Insured in the future vaccination dates. Also, the public health service should carry out more voluntary series of vaccinations in schools.",110197,"germany"

In the neighbouring Portugal, the last count sum by now 22 infected, one of them had a fatal outcome, with the death of a young 17-year-old has become the first victim of the outbreak, Portuguese. As in most of the cases, none of the affected were vaccinated. The young Portuguese deceased had become infected by being in contact with a child of 13 months had also not been immunized. The little one had a very high fever and the doctors advised against the vaccine in such circumstances. Thus was hatched the spread of this young man and six other people more. In our country, the outbreak most important occurred at the beginning of the year in Catalonia with a case imported from China, it triggered other 21. Although so far this year has continued to be a trickle of cases in other communities. Only in the last week of march, have been identified in six affected in the Canary islands (1), Murcia (3), and Navarra (2).

""It is absurd for a child to have measles in the XXI century"" In the Europe rica, where access to vaccines is not a problem, it is producing the perfect storm for the measles virus to circulate with ease: the arrival of the disadvantaged population without vaccinating the that add more and more parents who choose not to immunize their children for a baseless fear of the side effects. And the virus starts to flow again catching by surprise those who are not protected. What about mandatory vaccination? Our country is still in that enviable threshold of 95% vaccination, although some pediatricians fear that the movements antivacunas and the rise of the natural therapies are growing among the Spanish fathers. So much so, that in communities such as Catalonia is under consideration to require the vaccination of children for access to child care facilities or public school child. In Portugal, the latest outbreak has also fuelled the debate.

Rockland County, on the Hudson river north of New York City, has barred unvaccinated children from public spaces after 153 cases were confirmed.  Violating the order will be punishable by a fine of $500 (L378) and up to six months in prison.  The announcement follows other outbreaks of the disease in Washington, California, Texas and Illinois.  Media playback is unsupported on your device Media caption BBC health correspondent Smitha Mundasad explains the US measles outbreak  Vaccination rates have dropped steadily in the US with many parents objecting for philosophical or religious reasons, or because they believe discredited information that vaccines cause autism in children.  ""We will not sit idly by while children in our community are at risk,"" Rockland County Executive Ed Day said.  ""This is a public health crisis and it is time to sound the alarm.""  Why has this county taken action?  The outbreak in Rockland County is largely concentrated in the ultra-Orthodox Jewish community, the New York Times reported. It is believed it could have spread from other predominantly ultra-Orthodox areas around New York which have already seen outbreaks of measles.  Mr Day said health inspectors had encountered ""resistance"" from some local residents, which he branded ""unacceptable and irresponsible"".  ""They've been told 'We're not discussing this, do not come back' when visiting the homes of infected individuals as part of their investigations,"" he said.  According to the CDC, there are 314 cases of measles currently reported in the US, with nearly half of those coming from Rockland County.  Dylan Skriloff, the editor of local newspaper the Rockland County Times, told the BBC the number of measles cases in the county had been increasing steadily in recent weeks.  ""The first reports came six months ago, and each week we've had a new report with increased numbers,"" he said.  ""It's become clear that it's not abating, and the authorities... don't want to accept [this reality] as the new normal.""  Skriloff said that the authorities had been making ""steady progress"" in encouraging religious communities to immunise children but communication had broken down in the last month.  ""The rate of immunisation in the religious communities, for young people, it's about 50%-60%, which is not nearly enough.""  Officials said the order, which bans anyone under the age of 18 who has not been vaccinated from places such as schools, shopping centres, restaurants and places of worship, would come into effect at midnight on Wednesday and last 30 days.  However, the order notes that authorities ""will not be patrolling or asking for vaccination records"", just referring those found to violate the order to the District Attorney's Office.  Some critics say that without a plan to enforce the order, it is a useless measure that fails to protect anyone, while others have accused the local government of overreach.  Rockland County has a population of more than 300,000.  Why are there so many outbreaks?  By James Gallagher, health and science correspondent, BBC News  Both Europe and the US are dealing with outbreaks of measles, but why now?  Nothing has changed about the virus; the answer instead lies in human behaviour.  Myths about the vaccine causing autism have been debunked but are still affecting the number of children being immunised. And complacency from a generation of parents unfamiliar with the dangers of measles has also had an effect.  So with every year that goes by, the total number of unvaccinated people grows, often in pockets in some communities. It is like an ever-growing tinderbox just waiting for a spark.  Measles still runs rampant in many parts of the world - it kills around 90,000 people a year. All it takes is a bit of travel for measles to reach those vulnerable pockets and spread like wildfire.  What has happened elsewhere with measles vaccinations?  Measles is a highly infectious disease and can cause serious health complications, including damage to the lungs and brain.  But despite the dangers, vaccination rates are declining in many countries.

It estimates that between 2010 and 2017:  The US topped the list for the number of unvaccinated children in high-income countries, with 2,593,000 missing the first dose of the vaccine  The comparable figure for France was 600,000  The UK came third, with 527,000 children not getting their first dose of the vaccine over the seven-year period  In Nigeria, four million children under one did not get the first dose of the vaccine  The figures are based on Unicef and World Health Organization estimates of the number of children immunised against diseases in 194 countries in 2017.  Figures for the second dose of the measles vaccine ""were even more alarming"", Unicef said.  It found 20 countries in sub-Saharan Africa had not introduced a second dose, putting more than 17 million infants a year at a greater risk of getting measles as a child.

In addition, measles were ""untreatable"". The infectious disease is highly contagious and ""a torment for children and adults"". The vaccination can be useful to even the smallest of children, ""in community facilities,"" said Spahn.

"19108","A CHILD with measles was told it is because daddy stays up late reading utter bullshit on the internet and bases decisions on that.  Hayley Muir, aged three, was informed that she is currently suffering due to her father’s distrust of the ‘biased mainstream media’, which helps him feel like an interesting person.  Hayley said: “Daddy says MMR is a conspiracy to give children autism. I asked a few basic childish questions like ‘who’, ‘why’, and ‘is it working’ but dad said I didn’t want to go down that rabbit hole.  “I asked if all my friends at school would get measles and he said no, they’ve had the vaccine. I said that wasn’t fair and he said the medical malpractice of using children as guinea pigs isn’t fair.  “Dad claims his theories are supported by such thinkers as 90s FHM favourite Jenny McCarthy and Donald Trump.

"10106","Measles reaches record in Europe, fed by the antivacunas In the first half have been recorded with 41,000 cases, double that for the whole of 2017 MARÍA TERESA BENÍTEZ DE LUGO CORRESPONDENT IN GENEVA Updated: 21/08/2018 02:13 pm Save Send news by email Your name * Your email * Your email * The World Health Organization (WHO) warned on Monday, in Geneva, on a disturbing increase in cases of measles in the european continent during the first six months of this year. This organism accounted for, during this period, some 41,000 cases, which represent the double of the total number of those registered in the twelve months of last year. This organism was also reported that, because of this disease, in so far this year have killed 37 persons in Europe. The most affected countries of the continent, with more than a thousand infections, during the first half of 2018, are France, germany, Greece, Italy, Russia, Georgia, Serbia and Ukraine. The latter has registered the highest number of infections, some 23,000 people. To increase since 2009 Since 2009, cases of measles have increased in Europe. Until then it had made significant progress in the old continent to eradicate it. However, after the successes achieved were reduced by the preventive measures and the disease began again to gain ground. ""The threat exists today and no country is sheltered from the same"", warned the WHO. Measles is an endemic disease that is controlled through vaccination. Because they have not respected the recommendations of immunization advocated by the WHO, there has been a significant increase in the number of infections of this virus that is transmitted by direct contact and through the air. Its ability to spread is very powerful, six times more than the flu, and not having a specific treatment can even cause death. ""From 2016, the year with the lowest number of cases, we are seeing a disturbing increase in infections and outbreaks of measles in Europe"", stated dr. Zsuzsanna Jakab, director of the regional office of the health agency of the UN for Europe. ""We ask all european countries to take immediate measures to stop the spread of this disease "", he added. There is currently a great controversy in Europe about the programs of vaccination and if to follow them would be at the mercy of the large companies and pharmaceutical companies. This idea is being fuelled by the critics of these practices and by some politicians of the european countries . According to the WHO, what has happened is that in european countries the rates of vaccination of this disease have fallen below the recommended percentage of the 95% of the population for various reasons ranging from the lack of supplies in vaccines, the case of Ukraine, or administrative problems related to the prescription and administration of the vaccine. ""Each one of the people not vaccinated remain vulnerable wherever they are located and, for this reason, all countries must continue to work to amplify the vaccination campaigns, and finish with the other sectors of the population not immunized,"" said for his part dr. Nedret Emiroglu, director of the european department of emergencies of the WHO. Two doses an expert WHO indicated that in order to curb the transmission of the measles virus are necessary to the administration of two doses of vaccine because this virus, transmitted not only by direct contact but also by coughing or sneezing, it remains active on the contaminated surface for at least two hours. Children and the elderly, whose immune systems are more fragile, are most vulnerable. The infection usually presents itself through fever, and by symptoms similar to the flu. In this first phase, tend to make appearance the spots of Koplik which are a few tiny white dots that appear on the oral mucosa or on the internal face of the cheek about two or three days before the appearance of the characteristic eruptions of skin. The virus is contagious until four days after the appearance of these eruptions.",51673,"spain"

Thanks to systematic Vaccination, the virus outside of labs. Who is born today, is protected, therefore, even without vaccination. Number of measles cases by 30 percent and increased the measles should actually be by 2020 eradicated. In recent years, the number of infections has risen by up to 30 percent, is critical of the WHO. One reason is the growing number of opponents in industrialized Nations and in Arab countries. Also in Germany, the number of measles rose diseases. In the year 2017, for example, 929 measles cases were reported in 2016, only 325. To prevent outbreaks that would need to be immunized 95 percent of the population. But in Germany, this quota is not met in all age groups. The measles are extremely contagious, and contrary to persistent rumors, no harmless children's disease.

"5285","Eight cases of measles, five of which are already ascertained by analysis of the laboratory of molecular epidemiology of the Policlinico of Bari, and at least a ninth suspect case. The infection of measles recorded in Bari in the last hour. Triggered - according to the initial findings - a ten year old girl, the daughter of a couple, no vax, and hospitalized in the department of infectious Diseases at the children's hospital Giovanni XXIII bari. From here the virus would infect the little sister and a baby of just 11 months, hospitalized for an ear infection at the same hospital. Too small to be vaccinated: as the little brother, which, instead, was regularly subjected to the vaccine by the parents.Sources in the health department of the Policlinico indicate, however, that ""not all cases would seem to be linked between them."" To assess the dynamics of the facts and the possible chain of contagion, which could be due to an incorrect handling of the first treatment, they moved the local health, with the hospital and the Asl of Bari, italy, which have started internal testing, and the ministry of Health, with the minister Giulia Grillo has announced ""a new Plan for the elimination of measles and congenital rubella already existed, but that was not the most up-to-date from 2011. A circular - said Grillo - will be widespread in the next few days with the guidelines for the standardization of management protocols"".""The protocol requires that the vaccine be administered to aged 13 months"", explains Maria Chironna, director of the epidemiology laboratory of the University, the regional reference centre for the confirmation of virologic, molecular epidemiological surveillance is entrusted to a teacher of the Rose Lawn of the University of Foggia). The chain of contagion could also hit the three adults anticipated The Journal of the south - for two of which there is the response of the analysis: is measles.Even in these cases, the track followed by doctors would lead to the children's hospital of bari. One is a woman who had been in those lanes, the other a probation officer of the department. The woman would be kept under observation for 12 hours in the red room of the emergency room of the Policlinico hospital for a suspected hepatitis. ""That, however, is a possible complication of the virus,"" adds Chironna. Another woman, however, would come with the signs of measles: is the mother of two gemelline that had accompanied one of them to John XXIII for any other reason.""It seems that the link, which in technical terms we call linkage, and the use of the department of infectious Diseases at children's hospital, where it was first isolated from the index case: the one that would match the chain"" and mark Chironna, who is also associate professor of Hygiene at the university of bari. At the moment this is only a hypothesis: will the investigations molecular to make this clear. ""We're going to sequence the viral strains to determine if they are identical between them. Only if this be proved, then, if the genome of the virus is the same, we can say that the source of infection is the ten-year old girl hospitalized at John XXIII"".If for this you will need to wait for the verdict of the laboratory, on the front of prevention, instead, it is evident that something has not functioned properly, according to the teacher. For at least two reasons: ""Or there was the isolation of the child who is the index case, or it was not effective and the chain links are stretched"". The protocols, remember the same Chironna, involving the isolation and suspicion of measles must be reported to the department of Prevention of Asl. ""Because the measles - emphasizes the teacher - is one of the most contagious diseases that we know"".And always from Bari, the director-general of the Hospital, John Best, and as he is the national president of Aopi, the Association of children's hospitals and Italian), Paul Petralia, launched the appeal to ""vaccinate their children to protect public health"".

From January, sets out the organisation, have been reported 203.179 cases of measles in all the 26 provinces of the country, capable of 4,096 people are dead. Children under 5 years of age represent 74% of cases and approximately 90% of the dead. ""We are fighting the epidemic on two fronts: preventing infections and preventing deaths, said Edouard Beigbeder, Unicef representative in the Democratic Republic of Congo (drc).

The kits contain antibiotics, rehydration salts, Vitamin A, anti-pain, anti-pyretics and other aid to more than 111.000 people affected by this viral disease highly contagious and potentially lethal. ""We are facing this alarming situation because of the millions of congolese children have not received routine vaccinations and do not have access to the medical care they need when they get sick - has continued Beigbeder -. In addition, the health system is weak, the insecurity, the mistrust of the communities towards vaccines and operators who them administered, and the difficulties in terms of logistics, have contributed to a high number of children not vaccinated and at risk of contracting the disease.""

"22107","Image copyright Science Photo Library  Measles cases in Europe tripled between 2017 and 2018 to 82,596 - the highest number recorded this decade, data from the World Health Organization shows.  While vaccination rates are improving, the WHO says coverage is not high enough to prevent circulation of the virus in many countries.  Ukraine reported the highest number of measles cases last year - more than 10 times that of the next highest, Serbia.  Over 90% of cases were in 10 countries, including France, Italy and Greece.  Measles is a highly infectious viral illness that can sometimes lead to serious health complications, including infections of the lungs and brain.  There were 72 deaths from measles in Europe in 2018 compared with 42 in 2017.  The European countries with the highest number of measles cases from January to December 2018 were:  Ukraine (53,218)  Serbia (5,076)  Israel (2,919)  France (2,913)  Italy (2,517)  Russian Federation (2,256)  Georgia (2,203)  Greece (2,193)  Albania (1,466)  Romania (1,087)  In the UK, there were 953 measles cases last year.  Meanwhile, Ukraine had the highest rate of measles cases in Europe, at 1,209 per one million population - 10 times the country's rate in 2017.  And this largely explains the sharp rise in total cases in Europe, from 25,863 in 2017 to more than 82,000 in 2018.  Vaccination rates for measles, mumps and rubella in Ukraine fell sharply over a number of years during its conflict with Russia, reaching 31% in 2016 - among the lowest in the world.  By the end of 2017, the percentage of children in Ukraine who had been vaccinated had significantly improved, to about 90% but, the WHO says, this now needs to be sustained to protect the population from further outbreaks of measles.  'Gaps at local level'  Dr Zsuzsanna Jakab, WHO regional director for Europe, said: ""The picture for 2018 makes it clear that the current pace of progress in raising immunisation rates will be insufficient to stop measles circulation.  ""While data indicate exceptionally high immunisation coverage at regional level, they also reflect a record number affected and killed by the disease.  ""This means that gaps at local level still offer an open door to the virus.""  The WHO says the 2018 surge in measles cases followed a year when European countries achieved their highest ever estimated coverage for the second dose of the measles vaccination - 90%.  The percentage of children receiving the first dose of the vaccine also increased, to 95%.",37984,"uk"
"23107","Image copyright SPL  Measles has a devastating impact on the body's immune system that could make it harder to fight infections for years, a pair of studies show.  The virus can cause ""immune amnesia"" - meaning the body forgets how to fight bugs it once knew how to beat.  Measles also resets the immune system to a ""baby-like"" state, compromising its ability to devise ways of tackling new infections.  Experts said the findings showed the importance of vaccination.  Remind me, what is measles?  Measles is a virus that initially causes a runny nose, sneezing and fever.  A few days later it leads to a blotchy rash that starts off on the face and spreads across the body.  Most people will recover, but measles can cause life-long disability. It can be deadly, especially if it causes pneumonia in the lungs or encephalitis (swelling in the brain).  It is estimated that 110,000 people die from measles each year around the world.  Image copyright Getty Images Image caption A rash is the most obvious symptom of a measles infection  Where do these findings come from?  The findings were based on detailed analysis of unvaccinated children in an Orthodox Protestant community in the Netherlands.  Blood samples were taken from the children, and then again two months after a measles outbreak in 2013.  Research groups in the United States, UK and Netherlands were analysing the samples to assess the impact of measles on the immune system.  The focus was on antibodies - the tiny proteins that stick to foreign invaders - and the white blood cells that make them.  How does measles wipe out immune memory?  The immune system has a memory of the hostile invaders it has fought off before.  Part of this memory is kept in memory B-cells, which are a type of immune cell that has specialised in producing just one type of antibody.  But the measles virus can infect and destroy these cells, causing ""immune amnesia"".  Researchers at Harvard Medical School looked at blood samples from 77 children.  They used a tool, called VirScan, that is like a fancy fishing rod that can catch thousands of different types of antibodies.  It allowed the team to build up an incredibly detailed picture of the children's immune system before and after a measles infection.  Image copyright Getty Images Image caption Antibodies are tiny Y-shaped proteins that can stick to the surface of bacteria and viruses  Results, published in the journal Science, showed the children lost 20% of their repertoire of antibodies on average.  One child, who had a severe measles infections, lost 73% of the types of antibody they could produce.  ""Measles is like the first 10 years of an untreated HIV infection compressed into a few weeks - that's the kind of immunological memory damage,"" Dr Michael Mina told the BBC.  How big a problem is this?  Not every antibody matters.  An antibody might be one (of the huge number) that do very little, but another might completely neutralise a microscopic intruder.  ""If you delete that one then you've got a problem,"" Prof Stephen Elledge told the BBC.  Essentially, it is a game of chance but the more antibodies that get wiped out, the greater the chance of hitting a crucial one.  And without it, your body may be vulnerable to infection once again.  Media playback is unsupported on your device Media caption Jo Walton: 'My daughter's life was destroyed by measles'  This was borne out in the study with one particularly well-known antibody (for neutralising respiratory syncytial virus) disappearing in some children.  Prof Elledge said measles was even more dangerous than people realised, as there could be ""five times or more indirect deaths due to immune amnesia"" than the initial infection caused.  The researchers think the biggest problem is in sub-Saharan Africa where malnourished children are more likely to have larger swathes of their immune system wiped out.  The studies have not been done to prove this, but the US team fear the figure could exceed 90% of the antibodies.  ""Those are the ones we think are the greatest concern,"" said Dr Mina.  How does measles make it harder to fight new infections?  As well as memory B-cells there are naive B-cells and it is the latter we rely on to fight off something new.  ""They are the armour underneath,"" said Dr Velislava Petrova, from the Sanger Institute said.  Her study, published in Science Immunology, looked at 26 children and also showed that measles can wipe out the memory of previous infections.  But the research also showed the virus had an effect on the naive B-cells too.  These cells have their DNA rearranged - a process called somatic recombination - so the immune system can produce a diverse array of back-up antibodies.  The hope is one of them will work against a new infection.  Babies start off making a very narrow range of antibodies, which become more and more varied with age.  Measles hits the reset button so the immune system only has a limited range of antibodies to work with.  Dr Petrova said: ""The measles virus removed immune memory cells that are created in response to other pathogens they had seen before.  ""They also returned the immune system back to a baby-like state where they have limited ability to respond to new pathogens.""  How long do these effects last?  The pair of studies focused only on the immediate aftermath of a measles infection.  However, the research was partially inspired by a study that came out in 2015, which provides some clues to what happens in the long term.  It looked at patterns in causes of death in rich countries and showed that children were more likely to die for two-to-three years after a measles infection.  Those results suggest it may take that long for the immune system to fully recover.  The timescales may be different in poorer countries where diseases spread more readily, the researchers suggest.  Is there anything that can be done about it?  There are two answers to this question, and they are both vaccination.  Being immunised against measles, often through the MMR jab, almost eliminates the risk of catching measles.  But if somebody's immune system is devastated by measles then the researchers suggest they may need to have their childhood vaccines again.  ""Revaccination against polio might not seem important in the UK or US, but in Afghanistan (one of the few places where the disease is still endemic) then you might want to vaccinate again,"" said Dr Mina.  Image copyright Getty Images  Are there other forms of immune memory?  Yes.  The study looked only at antibodies and the B-cells that produce them, but there are also equally important memory T-cells.  Measles can infected these T-cells too, but the studies have not yet been done on what happens to them.  ""We do have really interesting anecdotal evidence suggesting the T-cell response would be affected in a very similar way,"" said Dr Mina.  What do the experts say?  Prof Arne Akbar, president of the British Society for Immunology, said the studies were ""elegant and thorough"".  He highlighted the ""crucial"" finding that the MMR vaccine, which contains a weakened measles virus, did not cause immune amnesia.  ""It is doubly important to make sure you and your children are vaccinated against measles,"" he said.  Liam Sollis, from Unicef UK, said: ""With vaccination rates in the UK falling and recently losing our measles-free status, an outbreak is now a ticking time bomb.

First, situate the problem : Samoa is a micro-State in the Pacific, consisting of two main islands and are populated by a little less than 200 000 inhabitants. Let's say that it is to the east of Wallis and Futuna and as we know, the Samoans, for their rugby players. So this is a remote archipelago, known for its hotels and its beautiful beaches, of which there are quite a few opportunities to speak if it was not actually this health emergency : the country is in the throes of a devastating measles epidemic. Already more than 4,000 infections in a few weeks, and especially, more than 60 victims, including a vast majority of children under the age of 4 years, one-third of infants less than 6 months. The island had never experienced such an outbreak and also such a mobilization. Exceptional measures It is simple : starting tomorrow and for two entire days, all public services will be closed. Schools, administrations, government, parliament, justice, police : everything is closed and all travel is strictly prohibited. In other words, for two days, the population was ordered to remain confined in it, any gathering is banned : only can move the parents whose children would be the first symptoms and only to go to the doctor. If authorities were to shut down for two days, it is so that all the officials of the country put themselves at the service of a campaign of general vaccination, which is mandatory under penalty of jail. The idea : vaccinate at faster 100% of the Samoans. The Samoans poorly covered by the vaccination That is the problem : before this epidemic, the vaccination rate in the country was 31%. Notoriously insufficient when one knows that he must wait until 90% for a population is immune to an outbreak. However, measles is extremely contagious. The idea is therefore to catch up quickly with the backlog. And the authorities samoanes have had a very good idea amazing to get there : all families with at least one member is not yet vaccinated will be required to nail a red rag to their door. It is biblical, in fact ! Moses asked each jewish family to mark the door of the sheep blood – red so – for the disease sent by God and that struck the Egyptians, sparing the Chosen People. However, the Samoans are very religious. A vacationer to the origin of the epidemic, Yes : the authorities samoanes have managed to track down the person who imported the measles virus to the islands of Samoa. And it would be a new Zealander on holiday at the beginning of October. You tell me, what is the importance of the know ? It is very important in fact : the distrust vis-a-vis vaccines has led to a fall in vaccine coverage. Countries where the measles had disappeared, such as Australia, the Usa or New Zealand, Italy, France have in recent years experienced episodes of infection. But these countries may face : their health systems are strong. Only here it is : we travel... the Caribbean, Asia... in the paradise islands of the Pacific and, as new Zealanders, we contaminate. I remember the balance : 60 children dead in a month and a half to the islands of Samoa.",35127,"france"
"51004","The Ministry of Health established in their common calendar of vaccination that everyone born after 1970 and who have not been vaccinated or have not had measles, should visit their health center to be vaccinated. He has remembered this Saturday, the department that directs María Luisa Carcedo after this Friday sources of Health asserted, wrongly, that they advised the vaccine to those born before 1970. Health agree well with the recommendation of the Spanish Society of Epidemiology about who should be vaccinated who are between 40 and 50 years if you are not sure you have received the two required doses of the vaccine or have not had measles. This protocol Spanish on vaccination for those born since 1970 could be added to other measures since they are currently in the Public Health Commission of the Ministry is discussing with the communities to implement the Plan of prevention against measles with other new. It just so happens that this week has been known a report based on the data of the 53 countries that make up the european area of the who notes that four countries have lost the status of having eradicated the disease (United Kingdom, Albania, Czech Republic and Greece), while two others (Austria and Switzerland) have reached.

Is specified then the 233 cases of measles confirmed in Spain between 1 January and 21 July of 2019 are ""imported cases or side to them"" and the transmission ""has been interrupted with ease."" In Spain, the vaccination schedule includes mmr (measles, rubella and mumps) with two doses: one at 12 months and another at 3/4 years of age, you are reminded on the website of the Spanish Association of Pediatrics.

"26107","Image copyright Jim Goodson/CDC/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY Image caption Measles can spread easily through coughs and sneezes  Authorities in the Philippines have declared an outbreak of the highly contagious measles virus in several areas including the capital, Manila.  As of 26 January there have been 1,813 measles cases and 26 deaths, according to the Department of Health Epidemiology Bureau. That is a 74% increase from 2018.  Measles can be very dangerous for small children and babies.  There is now increasing concern for the 2.4 million unvaccinated children.  Parents have been reluctant to have their children immunised at government health centres, after complications related to a dengue vaccine, Dengvaxia.  Dr Gundo Weiler, World Health Organisation (WHO) representative to the Philippines, said immunisation rates were well below the target of 95% and decreasing.  In 2016 the rate was about 75%, but fell to 60% in 2017 and has likely fallen further in 2018.  ""In this scenario we have a pool of children building up over time who are not protected and who are susceptible to measles,"" Dr Weiler said.  Measles is a highly contagious airborne disease which spreads easily through coughs and sneezes. Initial symptoms usually include a fever, cough, runny nose and inflamed eyes. A red rash appears on the face and body a few days later.  Health Secretary Francisco Duque told local media that bronchopneumonia from measles complications can be deadly, and encouraged parents to bring their children for immunisation.  ""Parents should not wait for complications to set in because it might be too late,"" he said.  ""We are declaring an outbreak as cases have increased in the past weeks and to strengthen surveillance of new cases and alert mothers and caregivers to be more vigilant,"" Mr Duque said in a statement.  Initially the epidemic was only declared for Metro Manila and Luzon, but on Thursday the Department of Health expanded the outbreak area to include other parts of the Philippines.",34196,"uk"
"27107","Between 1 January 2018 and 31 October 2018, there have been 913 laboratory-confirmed measles cases in England. This steep rise in cases (when compared to 259 lab-confirmed measles cases in 2017), was associated with outbreaks linked to importations from Europe that have led to some limited spread in the community, particularly teenagers and young adults who missed out on their MMR vaccine when they were younger.  The measles outbreaks previously reported in different parts of the country are now under control, and we have seen a sharp decline in the number of measles cases reported.  Dr Mary Ramsay, Head of Immunisation at PHE , said:  We will continue to see measles cases in unvaccinated individuals and are monitoring the situation carefully. People who have not had 2 doses of the MMR vaccine are particularly at risk. We want to remind people that measles is not just a disease of young children, and most of the cases this year have been in people over the age of 15. Adults or parents who are unsure if they or their children have been fully vaccinated should check with their GP and make an appointment to receive 2 doses of MMR vaccine. The UK achieved WHO measles elimination status last year, so the overall risk of measles to the UK population is low. However, due to ongoing measles outbreaks in Europe, we will continue to see cases in unimmunised individuals and limited onward spread can occur in communities with low MMR coverage and in age groups with very close mixing.  13 September 2018  Between 1 January 2018 and 10 September 2018 there have been 876 laboratory confirmed measles cases in England. Cases were reported in most areas with London (305), the South-East (188), South-West (141), West Midlands (87) and Yorkshire and Humberside (84) reporting the most cases (based on provisional figures).  29 August 2018  Between 1 January 2018 and 23 August 2018 there have been 859 laboratory confirmed measles cases in England. Cases were reported in most areas with London (300), the South-East (178), South-West (142), West Midlands (85) and Yorkshire and Humberside (83) reporting the most cases (based on provisional figures).  20 August 2018  Between 1 January 2018 and 13 August 2018 there have been 828 laboratory confirmed measles cases in England. Cases were reported in most areas with London (291), the South-East (169), South-West (138), West Midlands (85) and Yorkshire and Humberside (80) reporting the most cases (based on provisional figures).  6 August 2018  Between 1 January 2018 and 6 August 2018 there have been 807 laboratory confirmed measles cases in England. Cases were reported in most areas with London (281), the South-East (166), South-West (139), West Midlands (84) and Yorkshire and Humberside (75) reporting the most cases (based on provisional figures).  25 July 2018  Between 1 January 2018 and 22 July 2018 there have been 781 laboratory confirmed measles cases in England. Cases were reported in most areas with London (272), the South-East (162), South-West (137), West Midlands (85) and Yorkshire and Humberside (72) reporting the most cases (based on provisional figures).  11 July 2018  Between 1 January 2018 and 6 July 2018 there has been 757 laboratory confirmed measles cases in England. Cases were reported in most areas with London (268), the South-East (161), South-West (118), West Midlands (85) and Yorkshire and Humberside (73) reporting the most cases (based on provisional figures).  1 June 2018  Between 1 January 2018 and 31 May 2018 there have been 587 laboratory confirmed measles cases in England. Cases were reported in most areas with London (213), the South-East (128), West Midlands (81), South-West (62), and Yorkshire and Humberside (53) reporting the most cases (based on provisional figures).  11 May 2018  Between 1 January 2018 and 9 May 2018 there have been 440 laboratory confirmed measles cases in England, with London (164), the South-East (86), West Midlands (78), South-West (42) and West Yorkshire (37) reporting the most cases.  The increase in measles circulation is mainly associated with travel to and from Europe where there are large ongoing measles outbreaks.  Young people and adults aged 15 and over who missed out on MMR vaccine when they were younger and some under-vaccinated communities have been particularly affected.  Measles is a highly infectious viral illness that can sometimes lead to serious complications and can be fatal in very rare cases.  Anyone who has not received 2 doses of MMR vaccine is at risk, but young people in environments with close mixing such as festivals are more at risk, as well as unvaccinated people travelling to Romania and Italy, where there are currently large outbreaks. Anyone planning to travel to Europe should check NaTHNaC travel health advice.  PHE local health protection teams are working closely with the NHS and local authorities to raise awareness with health professionals and local communities.  The MMR vaccine is available to all adults and children who are not up to date with their two doses.  Anyone who is not sure if they are fully vaccinated should check with their GP practice who can advise them.  Dr Mary Ramsay, Head of Immunisation at PHE , said:",34170,"uk"

"1897","A new study carried out in Denmark joins the conclusions of several previous studies : the vaccine is said ""ROR"" does not increase the risk of autism, contrary to an argument regularly put forward by the anti-vaccines. The MMR vaccine protects against measles, mumps, and rubella © Maxppp / Destoc/The Telegram A vaccine that would enhance the risk of autism : alarming... but fake, according to this new study. Conducted on more than 650 000 Danish children for over ten years, it confirms the findings of a dozen studies conducted previously : no, the MMR vaccine (measles, mumps, rubella) does not increase the risk of autism in vaccinated children. No correlation found To carry out their study, the researchers studied the data of these Danish children born between 1999 and 2010, followed up in 2013. By comparing the number of children diagnosed with autism, they found no difference between the vaccinated and non-vaccinated. ""The study strongly supports the fact that the vaccine does not increase the risk of autism, does not trigger autism in children at risk (with risk factors, ed), and is not associated with a clustering of cases of autism after vaccination,"" explain the researchers in the study published in the Annals of internal Medicine in the United States. A hypothesis drawn from a study that was based on... the twelve children This is not the first time that a study corroborates this thesis : in 2002, a study conducted in Denmark on 537 000 children revealed similar results. In all, ten studies have been conducted on vaccines for children, six of whom are specifically on the MMR vaccine, and none has found a link between vaccine and autism. So why this belief ? It is necessary to go back to 1998 to understand it : at this time seems to be a study, carried out on a sample of children who suffer from developmental disorders. Children, according to parents, have been vaccinated shortly before the development of these disorders. Except that the number of examinees amounted to only 12 children, too few to draw any conclusions what it may be. The study is removed from the medical journal shortly after publication. But it is too late : the theory takes from the anti-vaccine, some of the media the turns regularly, and parents are beginning to reject this vaccine. And today, the measles is doing well : according to the latest figures from the organization of Public Health France, 288 cases have been detected since January 1, 2019, and 28 % required hospitalization. Measles, far from being eradicated in France, Since the month of January, the ski resort of Val-Thorens is affected by a significant outbreak of measles. 47 cases have already been identified.

To confirm this, sources are hospital. According to sources, the family would have preferred not to vaccinate the two older children, despite the smaller one - just due to leukemia - he had a compromised immune system, and therefore could neither be vaccinated nor to defend itself against any infections. ""The history of this small, suffering from leukemia, he explained, explore the old - is an example of how the so-called immunity of the flock is fundamental for the protection of those who, for their illness or for the treatment in which they are found, they are not protected, even when they were vaccinated from measles as well as other infectious diseases.""

"5289","BARI - Eight cases of measles had already been recorded, a ninth very likely, the risk that it may be others. Are the clues of an outbreak of the epidemic, which broke out - as it seems - also because of the late application of the protocols established by law: the ""index case"", the one where it all began at the ""Giovanni XXIII"" of Bari, it was reported to time to the authorities of public health. A 10 year old girl, the daughter of parents anti-vaccinisti, therefore, could have triggered a chain of infection. That has also involved a child of 11 months, hospitalized in the same ward for otitis, and now struggling with a very serious disease. A problem serious broke out in the hospital that the Region would transform in the Gaslini institute of the South, the centre of reference of puglia for pediatrics, but has also involved the Hospital. The facts, as they emerge from the first no epidemiological evidence collected by the department of prevention of Asl Bari, can be summarized thus. In mid-October a daughter of 10 years, non-vaccinated and the daughter of no-vax, is hospitalized for suspected measles in the department of Infectious of the ""Giovanni XXIII"". The protocols in these cases, immediate notification to the public health service and the isolation of the strait of the mother and the little girl. On the point are in progress checks. What is certain is that measles infects, in a short time, also the younger sister of the girl, she is also not vaccinated, and a child of 11 months, hospitalized in the same ward for a otitis, non-vaccinated because they are too small. You get sick and end up at a hospital), a woman of 37 years old and a twenty year old, security guard of the ward of the ""Giovanni XXIII"". Three other adults were affected by the disease and are admitted to the Hospital, two with hepatitis, and one at risk of developing pneumonia (they are all complications of measles), all three with an epidemiological link with the other: the contagion, as it seems, there may have been to the emergency room of a hospital, where a woman with suspected measles has been kept under observation for 12 hours. And it seems to not be finished here yesterday, and always at a hospital, once again through the emergency room, was hospitalized for suspected measles, a woman, a mother of two twin girls, one of whom had been hospitalized at the ""Giovanni XXIII"". To have the certainty of the infection will await the analysis entrusted from the laboratory to Epidemiology. In Puglia, the integrated surveillance on measles and rubella, which implements the national plan for the elimination of these diseases is entrusted to professor Maria Chironna (director of the Epidemiology laboratory of the Polyclinic, which is the regional reference centre) and Rosa Prato (University of Foggia). ""Prevention strategies,"" explains the professor Chironna - consist in the isolation and immediate sending of the samples to the regional reference centre that is responsible to ascertain each individual case and determine whether all samples are actually related. If all the strains are the same, there is an outbreak of a single source"". Epidemiological investigations help determine who infected who, ""to avoid continued Chironna - to generate more secondary cases or tertiary. For example, with the vaccination of family members who are not vaccinated."" The key is the time factor: ""The incubation period of measles is about 10 days, but the vaccine (to be covered in the 98% need two doses) triggers an immunological response within 48 hours"". The fact that the chain of contagion is already in the game creates some kind of apprehension: ""we do Not know if there will be other cases"". To know that you have to wait a week to ten days, the incubation time of the virus. And to understand the dynamics of what happened you have to wait until the end of the epidemiological investigation, entrusted to the head of the department of Prevention of Asl, Domenico Lagravinese: you have to understand, for example, if the child of 10 years - do not comply with the obligation - has been subjected to the process of recall. In Puglia, the introduction of compulsory vaccination has actually brought a lot of benefits, as confirmed by the latest report of the group Malinf of the Region. ""On the 31st December last, explains professor Prato - the coverage for measles has increased by 6.5%, and June was a further ascent"". Striking, however, that well 5-6 of the cases registered relate to adults and not children. ""Most of the cases have an average age of about 30 years - adds the professor - and former kids not vaccinated. But they are still numerous, if we consider that the region is now a region with a very low frequency of infection"". The REGION STARTS INVESTIGATION PROCEDURES - Are in good health conditions of the eight people infected in Bari in the last few days from measles. It is learned from sources of the health department of the Policlinico di Bari, specifying that ""not all cases would seem to be linked between them."" In particular, there are five minor patients, of which two have already resigned, and three others still hospitalized but recovering (two in the pediatric age group and a 16-year-old). Three other adults are admitted to the department of infectious diseases, Policlinico di Bari, for two of which was a diagnosis established of measles, while for the third person, the diagnosis is still suspected. On the dynamics of the facts and on the spread of the disease, that is, on the first diagnosed case, a 10 year old girl not vaccinated, and the possible chain of contagion connected, there is an internal audit ""designed,"" explains Giancarlo Ruscitti, director of the Health Department of the Region of Puglia - also to ascertain whether there was a wrong management"". THE DG OF the POLYCLINIC: VACCINATE CHILDREN - What is happening proves once again - if proof were needed - that the protection of health cannot be conditioned by the orientation of each. Parents must vaccinate the children and we have an obligation to ensure a point-of-care appropriate to comply with the specificity, for this it is necessary to complete quickly the construction of a company pediatric stand-alone entrust it with the management of the Hospital Giovanni XXIII of Bari. The Puglia Region is aware of this need and in this direction is producing an extraordinary effort"". The said the general director of the Policlinico of Bari, John the Best, who is also national vice-president of the Fiaso and a member of the board of directors of the Association of children's Hospitals and Italian, commenting on the eight cases of measles confirmed at Bari. The General Director of the Asl of Bari, Antonio Sanguedolce, states that the Department of Prevention of Asl ""has put in place as required by the operational guidance from the ministry for the management of epidemics of the same infectious disease"". ""In this way - it says even Better - the medical director of the Polyclinic, Matilda Carlucci, from tomorrow it will move its activities mainly at the children's Hospital, is directly to contribute to the epidemiological investigation conducted jointly with the facilities of the company for community health, but also because, now more than ever, it is essential to ensuring strategic management of the day view of the creation of the company in the pediatric stand-alone"". FORMER MINISTER LORENZIN ASKS INSPECTION of BARI - ""We as a parliamentary group inspections at Bari, both medical and administrative, as well as a survey of the carpet in the rest of the country to understand how it is implemented the law after the circular Cricket"". Thus the former minister of Health, Beatrice Lorenzin, vice-president of the Mixed Group in the Chamber, after eight cases of measles had already been recorded at the pediatric hospital Giovanni XXIII of Bari. For Lorenzin ""the confusion created by the government, by the minister of Cricket with his circular, and by the activity of the parliamentary majority on the topic of vaccines ,could not loosen the guard on the measles that the same World Health Organization has described as worrying in Italy"". In particular, ""the non-vaccination of the courts as provided by law, the lack of stringent controls and the sense of impunity for those who want to circumvent the law, ends up as denounced by the families of the children do not vaccinabili, to hit the most fragile, immunosuppressed, children too young to be vaccinated, putting seriously at risk the health and, unfortunately, the same life. The answers put in the field by the majority and supported by the minister of health are harmful and misleading"". In addition, concludes Lorenzin, ""the new law under discussion in the Senate is worse than the amendment Tavern. In fact, abolishes the compulsory also of the vaccines for the so-called mandatory before decree Lorenzin, establishes a singular obligation differentiated regionally, and in case of an epidemic as if the vaccines were not a weapon of prevention, but in therapy. More does not explain to us how you intend to protect the population not only from measles, rubella and mumps, but also from polio, diphtheria, tetanus, hepatitis b and other diseases covered by the vaccination, such as pertussis (whooping cough) that has already resulted in casualties in Italy.""",30544,"italy"

But this highly infectious disease is also a plague in terms of economy and employment of health staff, as shown in a study, on a single measles outbreak exploded in New York, published in the scientific journal JAMA Pediatrics. The epidemic, which in this case has remained confined within the two closed religious communities opposed to vaccination, has taken medical staff and money by the taxes of the taxpayers ' resources which could be used differently, if only that slice of the population had been immunized.

However, the american citizens have not been vaccinated within a Country in which the pathogen (the Paramyxovirus of the genus Morbillivirus) is still widespread, and can generate outbreaks in american cities.

"29108","Image copyright Oksana Butenko  Until recently health authorities thought they had almost eliminated measles from Europe. But now the potentially deadly illness is on the rise because of a dramatic fall in vaccination rates. Worst hit is Ukraine, now suffering the one of the worst measles epidemics in the world, with more than 100,000 cases since 2017.  On an autumn day in 2017, Oksana Butenko waved goodbye to her teenage son Serhiy as he set off for university to study to become a doctor.  Eighteen months later, in February this year, she brought his body back to her small village in western Ukraine in a coffin.  The young man who wanted to devote his life to curing people of diseases had himself died at age 18, suddenly, of an illness health authorities say is completely preventable - measles, a disease they thought, a few years ago, they had almost eradicated in Europe.  Image copyright Oksana Butenko Image caption Serhiy Butenko died of pneumonia brought on by measles  ""He was a brilliant boy,"" Oksana says, standing outside the little silver-domed village church where her son's funeral was held. ""He was the most precious thing I ever had. It was his dream to become a medic, that's what he lived for.  ""I don't know why it happened. I remember my childhood, everyone got measles, but they all recovered.""  Measles is a highly contagious disease that most people get over after a couple of weeks of high temperature, and an unpleasant skin rash. But in a few cases - one or two in a thousand - it leads on to fatal complications, most commonly pneumonia.  Serhiy died of pneumonia brought on by measles after several days in intensive care, infection eating away at his lungs, unable to breathe without artificial ventilation.  He was one of 39 people to have died of measles in Ukraine since the current outbreak began in 2017.  Measles has been surging across Europe, with the number of new cases tripling last year to 82,596. The majority of those were in Ukraine, with 53,218 catching the disease.  Image caption Ukraine has seen a surge of measles cases in the last two years  ""We have this perfect storm of what happened over the last 40 years and it's culminated in the problem that we have now,"" says the country's acting health minister, Ulana Suprun. She's talking about the dramatic decline in the proportion of people who are protected against measles by vaccination.  Until about 2001, she says, Ukraine imported a strain of vaccine from Russia that the World Health Organisation (WHO) later declared to be ineffective. As a result, ""about 44% of the measles cases in Ukraine are adults - adults who thought that they had been vaccinated, but the vaccine was not useful"".  Then there was a problem with the cold chain - keeping the vaccine refrigerated so that it remains effective. Amid the economic collapse that followed the break-up of the Soviet Union in 1991, with poorly-equipped hospitals and unreliable energy supplies, the vaccine wasn't always kept at the correct temperature.  Image caption Oles Pohranychny: Distrust of vaccination reflects wider malaise in society  But an even greater problem was psychological. As the years went on, more and more people refused vaccination for themselves, or their children.  ""It's a question of trust,"" says Oles Pohranychny, headmaster of a private primary school in the western city of Lviv. Two years into the epidemic, only half his pupils are vaccinated against measles.  ""Vaccine is something that I take, and believe that it will protect me against something. Now our school has the children of parents born in the 1990s, when no-one believed anything. Not one another, not medicine, not the state.  ""In the whole former Soviet Union, it was a period of transition from a paternalistic society, to a society where you are responsible for yourself - but you don't know how to be responsible for yourself. Everyone around was lying - that's what people thought in the '90s. You had to be like a clenched fist, and trust no-one. Otherwise you were a loser. Trust was for losers.""  Dr Suprun, the acting Health Minister, blames the media and politicians for fanning the anti-vaccination mood, particularly after a widely-publicised incident in 2008 when a schoolboy called Anton Tishchenko died shortly after being immunised against measles - though a medical report later showed that his death was unconnected to the vaccine.  Find out more  Listen to Dying from Mistrust in Ukraine, Tim Whewell's report for the BBC World Service's Assignment programme on BBC iPlayer  In the wake of that tragedy, vaccination rates fell so drastically that by 2016 only 31% of the population were covered by MMR, the main vaccine against measles, mumps and rubella - the lowest level of vaccination in the world, even lower than in Africa, as Dr Suprun put it.  The WHO recommends 95% of children should be immunised with the MMR vaccine to achieve the herd immunity level at which all children - vaccinated and unvaccinated - are protected from measles, mumps and rubella.  Image caption Ukrainian soldiers line up for vaccination  Dr Suprun says that even now she is fighting a tide of misinformation. ""We have politicians trying to get votes saying that you don't need to be vaccinated, it's all a big plot by Western governments to take over the minds of our children, that vaccine is a big plot by pharmaceutical companies to come in and make a lot money off of Ukraine. Unfortunately, even with 39 deaths, it's difficult to convince people that this is a real problem.""  The death of Serhiy Butenko, however, did jolt his fellow students at Vinnitsa Medical University, in central Ukraine.  ""There was a feeling of emptiness,"" says Oleh Yefymenko, head of the student council. ""A lot of people knew him, really his story touched everyone.""  Medical records show that Serhiy had been vaccinated, at the ages of one and six, as recommended by the health authorities. But it wasn't enough to protect him, because he caught the measles virus just after being taken ill with another viral disease - mononucleosis, or glandular fever.  ""This mononucleosis weakened his immune system, so that it could not fight properly against the measles virus,"" says Dr Alexandra Popovich, who oversaw Serhiy's treatment in his last days.  It's possible that he would have been better protected if he had had a recent booster jab of vaccine.  But the more important lesson to take from the tragedy, says Dr Popovich, is that Serhiy would not have died if he hadn't been exposed to measles in the first place, if the level of herd immunity in the population had been high enough.  After Serhiy's death many of his fellow students rushed to get vaccinated, according to student leader Oleg Yeminenko.  Image caption Oleh Yefymenko says Serhiy's death shocked fellow students  But how come medical students, future doctors, hadn't thought of that long before? By that time the measles outbreak had been raging for nearly two years.  The University authorities told the BBC they conducted a major campaign last year to encourage students to get jabbed, and achieved a vaccination rate of more than 98%.  They said students are taught about vaccination ""from the point of view of evidence-based medicine, studying immunology, statistical data, contra-indications and consequences.""  But Kateryna Bulavinova, of the United Nations children's agency UNICEF, which has been helping the Ukrainian government in the fight against measles, said Serhiy Butenko's death showed that university deans are not doing enough, in general, to protect students.  ""In my personal opinion this is a horrifying situation because it was preventable,"" she said. ""For me, it's a big mystery, because it's the third year of outbreak in Ukraine with huge figures of those who contracted measles. But still the deans of all medical universities didn't take their position about protecting students.""  ""The biggest issue is with health care workers themselves. We have got more and more young doctors who have no idea about immunisation, or doubt immunisation, or are against immunisation.""  The health minister Ulana Suprun also believes doctors themselves are the main spreaders of doubt about vaccines.  Image caption Some doctors in Ukraine are taught non vaccination helps a child in the long run  She says that some student doctors are taught that vaccinations are not necessary. The rationale is the belief that it is better for a child to contract the the disease, because then they will have immunity for the rest of their lives. ""When you have academics at that level teaching new doctors that they don't need to vaccinate the children, it really does confuse the issue,"" Dr Suprun says.  Dr Fedir Lapiy, an advisor to the government on immunisation, says ""We have professors who believe that vaccination against measles during the influenza season, October to May, for example, is a dangerous procedure because it will cause immunosuppression. That's a myth, false information. It's dangerous for the country.""  Dr Suprun says misinformation by health workers and medical academics cannot be stopped because universities are independent and there is currently no means to withdraw professional qualifications. But a system to license physicians that will make that possible is now being introduced.  Image caption Dr Fedir Lapiy says some academics are spreading anti-vaccination myths  She says many of the problems that led to the epidemic are now being overcome. Vaccines are procured by Unicef, which has assisted the government in visiting hospitals and clinics to ensure the cold chain is maintained.  ""The vaccines that have been given in the last year or two years, we know have worked,"" she says. ""We've vaccinated last year over 900,000 people and we had zero deaths or serious complications from the vaccine.""  Mobile vaccination brigades have toured the regions worst hit by the epidemic to immunise children who missed getting the jab. Free vaccination is also now available to all adults.  Last year, 90% of one- and six-year-olds were vaccinated against measles. But that still leaves a huge backlog of children, and adults, who failed to be vaccinated at the right time in earlier years.  And Unicef estimates that as many as 30% of vaccination certificates may be falsified.  ""When parents are told that it's required to vaccinate their children to have them come to schools, they then go to physicians and unfortunately buy vaccine certificates,"" Dr Suprun says.  In Lviv region, the worst-hit, she says, ""when we came into the (regional) department of health and asked them how many children will need to be vaccinated, they told us by their records it's 22,000. But when we went to the schools, and we verified which records were accurate, we found that it was 50,000 children that needed to be vaccinated, because 28,000 had fake vaccine certificates.""  Image caption Campaigner Veronika Sidorenko has not vaccinated her children  By law, Ukrainian children have to be vaccinated against certain diseases, including measles, in order to attend state schools. But the law is not always observed, and it is also contested by some parents including Veronika Sidorenko, founder of a movement called ""Vaccination - Free Choice.""  Her three children are unvaccinated. ""When I compared the risk of getting the disease, against which we vaccinate, and the risk of the consequences of vaccination, I decided not to vaccinate,"" she says.  According to the WHO, the risk of suffering a severe allergic reaction to the measles virus is one in a million. But Veronika mistrusts WHO statistics. She thinks the campaign for universal vaccination is driven partly by lobbying by the pharmaceutical industry.  ""If we had large scale research - let's say 1,000 non-vaccinated children and 1,000 vaccinated ones, and we could trace their life through 50 years - we could actually assert that [vaccination prevents measles outbreaks]. But we don't have that and no-one is going to do it, so I believe we can't say for sure.""  When challenged that her choices are putting other children in danger, she says she doesn't believe in herd immunity.  In the meantime, the epidemic in Ukraine is continuing to gain pace, with almost as many new cases in the last six months as in the whole of last year. The 39th victim of measles complications died this month.  ""This is the era of iPhones, and all kinds of high technologies,"" says Unicef's Kateryna Bulavinova.  ""To have this high a number of people dying of a completely preventable disease is horrible.""

Precisely occurs one month after the World Health Organization (WHO) to warn about the movements antivacunas as one of the ten main health threats in 2019. The Ministry of Health of Costa Rica said that the French boy of five years came to this country with his parents on the 18th of February. According to ""The Costa Rica Star"", neither the child nor the mother were vaccinated, and when you go to a private doctor in Costa Rica for the stains that were coming out of the small, after being asked and told that the school that you came in France, several of the children had had measles in the past few weeks.

"8142","A French boy of five years old affected of measles has become the first recorded case in Costa Rica in the past five years, since it was believed that the disease had been eradicated from the central american country. According to The Independent, the child had traveled to the country as a tourist, accompanied by his family and began to show some symptoms, including the characteristic rash that characterizes the disease, which led her parents to consult a private doctor. Precisely, their parents confirmed that there had been more cases of measles in the school of the child in France. Apparently, neither the small nor her mother were vaccinated against this virus. Subsequently, the Ministry of Health of Costa Rica has been reported that the less French is receiving treatment at the Hospital Monsignor Sanabria in Puntarenas, a strict regime of isolation to prevent the spread of the disease. In addition, the authorities seek to clarify who has been able to have contact with the child during your flight, your stay at a hotel in Puntarenas or when passing through Santa Teresa, the village in which the family was spending their vacation. Also, it has been reported to the French authorities to be vigilant with regard to cases that might occur in France. The Region of the Americas (which includes North America, Central and South in its entirety) eradicated endemic measles between 2012 and 2016, making it the first and only region in the world to do so until now. In large part, this progress was possible thanks to the implementation of vaccination programs mandatory. The last known case in Costa Rica, data of 2014. This does not mean that there have not been cases of measles on the continent, but when you have given it has sought to strains imported from other world regions, normally undertaken by tourists. For this reason, the minister of Health of Costa Rica has wanted to ask those in the custody of a minor to ensure that they are at the day of vaccination, recalling that the country has an effective public program of vaccination. Also, she has asked that before any case of symptoms of Measles (fever, runny nose, cough, conjunctivitis, rashes) to be notified immediately to health authorities, especially if the affected person has traveled to countries with cases of measles or has been exposed to an imported case. The threat of the 'anti-vax' According to the WHO, despite the availability of a vaccine that is safe and economical, the measles was the cause 110,000 deaths around the world during 2017, mostly among children under five years of age. This figure implies a growth of no less than 30% compared to the previous year, with a noticeable increase in developed countries such as Germany, where vaccination used to be extended to the practical totality of the population. In part, this increase in cases may be due to the growth that it has experienced in the last few years the anti-vax, or anti-vaccine, in the developed countries. This movement, with a notable presence in certain channels of the Internet and social media, is opposed to mandatory vaccination esgrimiento a plethora of arguments related to the religion, various theories pseudo-scientific and the various beliefs about the alleged risks of vaccination. This is one of the reasons why the WHO has set the anti-vaccine among the 10 biggest threats to global health in 2019. According to Martin Friede, director of immunization and vaccination of the agency, this current is seen to increase their followers thanks to the ""baseless accusations devoid of any evidence"" raised against the vaccine ""experts"". For example, many parents choose not to vaccinate their children do so under the belief that vaccination can cause autism in the patient. This belief was spread among the anti-vaccine after that, in 1998, the English physician Andrew Wakerfield published an article that linked autism with the mmr vaccine. By that article, Wakerfield was disbarred in the United Kingdom, after authorities find its investigation dishonest and contrary to the interest of the children affected.",26092,"spain"
"32108","Image copyright SPL  Measles is spreading across Europe wherever immunisation coverage has dropped, the World Health Organization is warning.  The largest outbreaks are being seen in Italy and Romania.  In the first month of this year, Italy reported more than 200 cases. Romania has reported more than 3,400 cases and 17 deaths since January 2016.  Measles is highly contagious. Travel patterns mean no person or country is beyond its reach, says the WHO.  For good protection, it's recommended that at least 95% of the population is vaccinated against the disease.  But many countries are struggling to achieve that.  Most of the measles cases have been found in countries where immunisation has dipped below this threshold and the infection is endemic - France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Romania, Switzerland and Ukraine.  Preliminary information for February suggests that the number of new infections is rising sharply, says the WHO.  WHO regional director for Europe Dr Zsuzsanna Jakab said: ""I urge all endemic countries to take urgent measures to stop transmission of measles within their borders, and all countries that have already achieved this to keep up their guard and sustain high immunisation coverage.""  The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control says that between 1 February 2016 and 31 January 2017 the UK reported 575 cases of measles.  The MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) vaccine is available on the NHS for babies and pre-school children.  Lagging immunisation  Robb Butler, of the WHO Regional Office for Europe, says there are a number of reasons why vaccination coverage has waned in some regions.  ""In some countries, like the Ukraine, there have been supply and procurement issues.""  Then there's vaccine hesitancy. Some people are fearful of vaccination, while others are complacent or find it an inconvenience, he says.  In France, for example, people need to make an appointment with their doctor to get a prescription, go to the pharmacy to collect the vaccine and then rebook with their doctor to have the jab administered.  ""We need to get to the point where we appreciate that people have busy lives and competing priorities.""  Dr Mary Ramsay, Head of Immunisation at Public Health England, said: ""England's uptake of MMR vaccine by five years of age has reached the WHO's target of 95%.  ""In the last year, the measles cases confirmed in England have mainly been in older adolescents and young adults with many linked to music festivals and other large public events. Individuals of any age who have not received two doses of the MMR vaccine, or those who are unsure, should speak to their GP - it's never too late to have the vaccine and measles can still be serious in adults. We are continuing to invest in programmes which encourage uptake of the vaccine to ultimately consign measles to the history books.""  Measles",25922,"uk"

""The vaccinations are so important,"" he told reporters outside the White House.  Nearly 700 cases have been reported across 22 states amid a resurgence of the highly infectious disease, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says.  Mr Trump has previously appeared to link vaccines and autism. Public health experts say there is no link.  Vaccination rates have dropped steadily in the US with many parents objecting for philosophical or religious reasons. Others, known as ""anti-vaxxers"", believe discredited information that vaccines cause autism in children.  The CDC says measles cases have reached a level not seen since 2000, when the disease was eliminated from the US.  Mr Trump's warning comes as hundreds of staff and students at universities in the Californian city of Los Angeles have been quarantined over fears they may have contracted measles.  Those who were at risk of being infected were asked to stay at home unless they could prove their immunity.  As of Thursday, 82 people at the University of California (UCLA) were unable to provide vaccination records, the university says.  At California State University, 156 people - including library employees and students - could not provide records and remain in quarantine, AP news agency reported.  What has Trump said about vaccines?  Mr Trump's latest comments contrast markedly from his previous public statements about vaccinations.  During a Republican primary debate in 2015, he suggested vaccines were responsible for what he called an ""epidemic"" of autism. He said he was in favour of vaccines, but wanted ""smaller doses over a longer period of time"".  He also held meetings with several prominent anti-vaccine campaigners ahead of the 2016 election.  He has also linked vaccinations to autism in earlier social media posts.  How serious is the measles outbreak?  Measles is a highly infectious disease and can cause serious health complications, including damage to the lungs and brain.  But despite the dangers, vaccination rates are declining in many countries.  There have been more than 110,000 measles cases worldwide in the first three months of 2019 - a rise of 300% compared to last year, World Health Organization figures show.

In the end of June published opinion, the panel recommended a compulsory vaccination only for certain occupational groups in the health sector and in the field of education. A vaccination for children linked to financial penalties the Council of ethics rejects, however, among other things, because the children of financially disadvantaged parents were much more likely to suffer from the consequences as the children of wealthy parents. 2017 97.1 percent of school beginners were nationwide, once vaccinated against measles, the second dose had 92.8 percent. The measles can be eliminated, it would, according to the world health organization (WHO) at least 95 percent of the total population have received both vaccinations.

It is regulated that is legally Insured to get prescription drugs, always at the same prices, regardless of whether or not you obtain the medication at the pharmacy around the corner or order it in the Internet. Against this proposal, there are concerns because of the European court of justice (ECJ) has overturned the previous German discount ban in 2016. The law also provides for a better compensation of the night and emergency services in the pharmacy. In addition, pharmacists should be given the possibility, within the framework of a regional model of adult projects, to vaccinate against the flu.

The World Health Organization data shows a rise in cases in almost every region of the world, with 30% more cases in 2017 than 2016.  Experts say complacency, collapsing health systems and a rise in fake news about the vaccine are behind the rise.  They say the measles vaccines can save millions of lives.  'Devastating disease'  Measles is a highly contagious disease that in severe cases can lead to complications such as blindness, pneumonia and infection and swelling of the brain.  The report, put together by the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, looked at measles cases over the past 17 years.  Experts say this is the first year there has been a sustained increase in cases, with 110,000 measles-related deaths.  And they are concerned that trends for 2018 are similar after cases reached a high in Europe in the summer.  The Americas, Europe and the Eastern Mediterranean region saw the greatest upsurge in cases. The Western Pacific region was the only area to see a decline.  A large number of infections were seen in Venezuela, as health systems collapsed after political and economic crises. The country had previously eliminated the disease.  'Combating complacency'  And there are now concerns that as more people move between countries in the region, the disease could continue to spread.  Meanwhile the Ukraine, Italy, France, Germany and Greece all saw an increase in cases in the past few years.  In the UK, which was declared free of the disease by the WHO last year, there have also been small outbreaks in 2018.  This led England's top doctor to urge parents to get their children vaccinated and ignore anti-vaccine myths.  Dr Martin Friede, of the WHO, told the BBC that it was worrying that in a number of European countries parents were not vaccinating their children.  Image copyright Science Photo Library  He said: ""Probably in Europe, more than other regions, we are seeing vaccine hesitancy becoming more of a problem than elsewhere.  ""In some groups, this is driven by religious beliefs but in quite a few populations it is spread by false concerns about the safety of vaccines.""  Dr Friede said that social media was playing a part in this and that new ways must be found to counter misinformation.

US outbreak  Earlier this week, US health officials reported that more than 700 people had been infected by measles this year, marking a 25-year high for cases of the infectious disease in the country.  Media playback is unsupported on your device Media caption BBC health correspondent Smitha Mundasad explains the US measles outbreak  Cases had been recorded in 22 states and were mostly affecting unvaccinated children, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said on Monday.  Officials said the increase in cases is the largest since 1994, including 78 reported in the past week.  Some parents are said to have chosen to leave their children unvaccinated due to the unscientific claim that vaccines cause illnesses such as autism, or on religious grounds.  Most cases occurred in 13 outbreak zones, including in New York City's orthodox Jewish communities.  Are you on the ship? Share your experiences by emailing haveyoursay@bbc.co.uk.

And, in fact, it is, unfortunately, deceased, for the consequences of measles, which triggered a multi-organ failure. We have tried everything"".Children with complex situations are also those that are vaccinated the less, despite the risk of ammalrsi is 4-5 times higher compared to that of healthy children. ""Many children are fragile for various fears are not vaccinated - continues Villani - but in reality it is only in rare cases of immune deficiency the vaccine is not recommended: children with cancer, with diseases such as intestinal Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis, treated with immunosuppressive therapy, or other diseases treated in the same way, then rheumatic diseases, severe asthma, transplant. And in cases of immune diseases, acquired or complex. In other cases, with attention, you can proceed to the vaccination, which, actually, is protective. The child dead was certainly in a condition of fragility, but without the measles, probably would not be dead."" And after thirty years it was also registered the first case of tetanus in a child in the hospital of Oristano, where he was admitted Saturday as a child on holiday in Sardinia. About 3 weeks ago, was hurt falling from a bicycle in the city where he lives, in the Lombardy region. The emergency physicians would have recommended as a practice prophylaxis tetanus, refused by the parents. The child then went on holiday with the family, and it has developed the first symptoms. So you have arrived at the San Martino hospital in Oristano, where she was diagnosed with the disease, that none of the health-care of pediatrics had ever seen. To her the doctors some symptoms, such as facial paralysis, which they do not respond to therapies cortisoniche. ""It is a case of absolute rarity"", explained the director of the Operative Unit of Paediatrics, John Zanda.

And the financial statements contained in a new report released today by the world health Organization (published by the main health organizations), which expresses ""serious concern"" about a disease that has raised the head.""The resurgence of measles"" is happening ""with outbreaks prolonged, that occur in all regions, and in particular in the Countries that had reached or were close to eradication of the infection,"" says Soumya Swaminathan, Deputy Director General for Programmes of Who. ""Without the efforts urgent to increase the vaccine coverage and identify populations with unacceptable levels of children sottoimmunizzati or not vaccinated, we risk losing decades of progress in the protection of children and the community against this devastating disease, but entirely preventable"". The report provides estimates of the ""most complete"" of the performance of the measles in the last 17 years. And also shows that since 2000 have saved more than 21 million lives through vaccination"". The reported cases, however, increased more than 30% of the world beginning from 2016. The Americas, the eastern Mediterranean region and Europe have recorded the largest increases in 2017, while the western Pacific is the only Who region in which the incidence of measles has declined.The disease, which can cause complications, debilitating, or fatal, from encephalitis to pneumonia, up to the loss of the view - are particularly vulnerable children and in particular children with malnutrition and a weak immune system. For several years, the global coverage with the first dose of the vaccine anti-measles was halted at 85%, below the 95% considered as the threshold necessary to obtain the so-called 'herd effect', that is, such a protection to prevent the outbreaks. The second dose came in at 67%.The Ceo of the organization the Gavi Alliance, Seth Berkley, says he is not surprised by the increase in cases registered. ""The lack of interest in the disease and the dissemination of falsehood on the vaccine in Europe, a health system collapse in Venezuela, pockets of fragility and poor immunization coverage in Africa you are combining together and the result is a rebirth of the global measles after years of progress. The strategies must change and more efforts must be made to increase the coverage of routine immunisation and strengthen health systems. Otherwise we will continue to pursue an epidemic after another"".In response to recent outbreaks, health agencies ask for investments to be carried out on systems of immunization, along with the efforts to strengthen immunization services routine. Efforts which, they suggest, must be oriented especially to reach the poorest and marginalised, including people affected by conflict and displacement. The agencies also ask for actions to build a broad public consensus on vaccination, addressing misinformation and doubts about the injections shield where they exist.",19282,"italy"
"37106","Image copyright Getty Images Image caption The World Health Organization says the latest figures paint ""an alarming picture""  The number of measles cases reported worldwide in the first three months of 2019 has quadrupled compared with the same time last year, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).  The UN body said provisional data indicated a ""a clear trend"", with all regions of the world seeing outbreaks.  Africa had witnessed the most dramatic rise - up 700%.  The agency said actual numbers may be far greater, since only one in 10 cases globally are reported.  Measles is a highly infectious viral illness that can sometimes lead to serious health complications, including infections of the lungs and brain.  Ukraine, Madagascar and India have been worst affected by the disease, with tens of thousands of reported cases per million people.  Since September, at least 800 people have died from measles in Madagascar alone.  Outbreaks have also hit Brazil, Pakistan and Yemen, ""causing many deaths - mostly among young children"", while a spike in case numbers was reported for countries including the US and Thailand with high levels of vaccination coverage.  In total, some 170 countries reported 112,163 measles cases to WHO, in comparison to 28,124 cases across 163 countries during the same period in 2018.  The UN says the disease is ""entirely preventable"" with the right vaccines, but global coverage of the first immunisation stage has ""stalled"" at 85%, ""still short of the 95% needed to prevent outbreaks"".  In an opinion piece for CNN, WHO head Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus and UNICEF head Henrietta Fore said the world was ""in the middle of a measles crisis"" and that ""the proliferation of confusing and contradictory information"" about vaccines was partly to blame.  Why the sudden 'global measles crisis'?  By James Gallagher, health and science correspondent, BBC News  It is one of the most contagious viruses around. However, nothing about measles has changed. It has not mutated to become more infectious or more dangerous. Instead the answers are entirely human.  There are two stories here - one of poverty and one of misinformation. In poorer countries fewer people are vaccinated and a larger portion of the population is left vulnerable to the virus.  This creates the environment for a large outbreak to occur - such as those in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Kyrgyzstan and Madagascar.  But rich countries with seemingly high vaccination rates are seeing cases spike too. This is because clusters of people are choosing not to vaccinate their children due to the spread of untrue anti-vax messages on social media.  It is worth noting these figures are provisional, the WHO says the true figures will be much higher. And that measles is far from harmless. It kills around 100,000 people, mostly children, every year.  The pair wrote that it was ""understandable, in such a climate, how loving parents can feel lost"" but that ""ultimately, there is no 'debate' to be had about the profound benefits of vaccines"".  They added: ""More than 20 million lives have been saved through measles vaccination since the year 2000 alone.""  In response to recent measles outbreaks, calls have mounted in several countries to make immunisation mandatory.  Last month, Italy banned children under six from attending schools unless they had received vaccines for chickenpox, measles and other illnesses.  A public health emergency has also been declared in areas of New York, ordering all residents to be vaccinated or face a fine.",19121,"uk"
"11006","A recent analysis of data from the World Health Organization (WHO) conducted by the Guardian concludes that in Europe have been given this year to 60,000 cases of measles, more than double that in 2017 and the highest number of century. There have been 72 deaths, double that in 2017. They are the worst data in 20 years. Health experts warn that the movement antivacunas are encouraging a decrease in the level of immunization against measles, against the human papilloma virus (HPV) against cervical cancer, influenza and other diseases. Also warn that their views are widely disseminated by social networks and by movements of the new right also skeptical with the health authorities. The commissioner of health of the European Union, Vytenis Andriukaitis, accused the populist politicians of the right to be irresponsible who spread ""false news"" about the safety of vaccines and that generate a climate of skepticism. Andriukaitis, excirujano heart, is very concerned: ""Not just me. The scientific community is concerned: epidemiologists, pediatricians, and experts in infectious diseases and many ministers of health"". ""It is inconcedible that we have deaths due to measles, children who die of measles. We promised that in 2020 Europe would be free of measles,"" he adds. Seth Berkley, director of the global alliance for vaccines, Gavi, points out that the skepticism is as contagious as a disease: ""it Is very difficult to get vaccinated against the skepticism given that currently there is no authority stable in the world, the institutions and the data are questioned constantly and that lying is good."" ""At this moment we are very vulnerable,"" says Heidi Larsen, director of the Project for the Trust in the Vaccines of the School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine in London. ""In the united States exaggerates more, but I don't know or a country in the world that we are not questioning this matter, complaint. In each country are different vaccines that generate resistance, since the MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccine against influenza or against the human papillomavirus, which causes most cases of cancer of the uterus. The WHO, the EU and the united States have formed groups to investigate the causes of the opposition to the vaccines and look for ways to bring security to the population. ""The reason why the WHO changed the discourse on how important and serious this is is because many member countries come to seek help,"" says Larsen. Politicians from the united States to Italy, Poland and France have jumped on the train antivacunas, supporting the skeptics and advocating for the right of parents not to vaccinate their children in countries where it is mandatory to do so before starting school. ""They are very irresponsible,"" says Andriukaitis. ""What is it that we see in this populist movement? Irresponsibility. Now [in power] is very important to see what they do. We'll see what happens with the outbreaks of measles with rulers who from the beginning have used false news"". Recent data have convincingly shown a close relationship between vaccination rates and measles outbreaks. A sharp fall in vaccination rates in France in 2010 was followed by a peak of measles outbreaks in the following year. In Italy, where the immunization rates fell in 2014, the case went from a few dozen each month to hundreds. In Romania, the shots fell below 90% in 2014. In 2017, there were over a thousand cases a month, where previously existed only one or two. Politicians hunting for votes with the vaccines populist politicians from the right and the other leaders of parties anti-establishment have claimed to be against globalization and the business of large multinational corporations, says the commissioner. Give credibility to the false news of the social networks that ensure that the pharmaceutical companies are shedding virus in the population in order to sell vaccines. And support requests to eliminate compulsory vaccination in those districts where this can be translated into more votes. ""It is very dangerous. My message is very simple: you have chosen to politicians antivacunas to the Parliament and now they are in some governments. Are you prepared to make your decisions based on false news or do you prefer to use evidence-based decisions? There are only two options: fake news or the evidence,"" says Andriukaitis. In Italy, members of the Movement Five Stars (M5S) and their allies in government, the League, the extreme right, they proclaimed, before coming to power that the vaccines were not safe. In 2015, the M5S proposed banning the vaccine, citing a false connection between vaccines and specific diseases such as leukemia, poisoning, inflammation, immunosuppression, genetic mutations, hereditary, cancer, autism and allergies"". Once in the government, compared to what the past year was the second largest outbreak of measles in Europe after Romania, the M5S seemed to have softened his stance, although analysts said that it is not clear what is the position of the coalition in italy. At the beginning of December, the health minister Giulia Grillo, the M5S, he threw the entire board of directors of the committee of experts technical-scientific most important of the country. In Poland, a small but resonant number of populist politicians supporting the antivacunas who want to eliminate their obligation. The most prominent have been the members of Kukiz’15, a political party, anti-establishment similar to the M5S Italian. Received the support of Justyna Socha, the group's leader antivacunas Stop NOP (an acronym in Polish for Reactions Posvacunas Unwanted), which has stated that there is a conspiracy among the doctors who accept money from pharmaceutical companies in exchange for hiding the side effects of the vaccines. In the united States, the antivacunas celebrated the election victory of Donald Trump, who has expressed skepticism about vaccines and invited Andrew Wakefield, the discredited gastroenterologist who claimed that the MMR vaccine was linked with autism, at its celebration of the investiture. It was also said that Trump was considering forming a committee to investigate vaccines under the direction of Robert F Kennedy Jr, who is openly contrary to the vaccines. The skepticism is high in France, according to a research Project for the Trust in Vaccines. Doubts about vaccination have fueled suspicions in relation to the pharmaceutical companies. The populist leader of the extreme right, Marine Le Pen, has supported those who want to eliminate mandatory vaccinations, stating that not much is known about their long-term consequences and pointing out the economic benefits of the vaccine manufacturers. Lisa Menning, who works in the acceptance of vaccines at the global level in the WHO, that some populist and antivacunas ""share a distrust of authorities and even scientists"". ""We have seen that vaccines have become ever more a subject is easily politicized, either in electoral terms or by the opposition. They even exploit the theme of religious groups, individuals, or other groups that have some interest in the use of vaccines for their political purposes or financial or to become famous or to win prestige"". Menning ensures that you can also take the opposite situation. As well, other populist politicians have pressed for mandatory vaccines as an easy solution, and often reactionary against the low rates of immunization. Larson explains that the rate of global vaccination has stalled. ""In some places is going down and we have areas of low immunization. It's not going to be easy, especially when we're adding more and more vaccines and combinations of vaccines,"" he says. ""Part of the challenge is that there are many things and many of them are outside of the scope of a program of immunization. It is a matter of political, religious and increasingly linked with the identity of the people"". Translated by Lucia Balducci",18349,"spain"

"5302","230% more than last year: this is the incredible data about the increase of cases of measles in Italy, an increase which has made alerted the Ministry of Health, doctors and families, and that has provoked long debates about the causes and solutions to the phenomenon. There are many, then, to have commented on the report of the ministry with concern. Among them there is the director of the School of Specialization in Microbiology and Virology, dr. Roberto Burioni, which has been fighting for years against the culture of refusal of the vaccine - more and more pervasive in Italy - and has published with Mondadori a book by the obvious title of The vaccine is not an opinion. The HuffPost interviewed him to understand something more about this disease that it is back to fear and what you can do to ensure that the emergency does not turn into a real epidemic. Measles is increased by 230% compared to 2016: the surprising data released yesterday by the Ministry of Health or the scientific community had already had an inkling of this phenomenon? There was a real hint of the phenomenon, but the coverage of vaccination in Italy are now very low, so it was easy to foresee an increase in cases of measles. It's a bit like driving in a spericola a car: there is the certainty of a traffic accident, but the possibility is very high. You can talk about the epidemic? No, technically it would be a wrong application of the term, better to speak simply of the increase of cases. What are the consequences for large and small: is it lethal? The circulation of the measles virus is very dangerous, there is no question of a mild illness as is commonly thought: in one case in a thousand, in fact, measles leads to serious damage of the central nervous system, while in one case over 3000 leads to death. In Italy, up to 70 years – so we're not talking about a historical period that was so tragic for our Country from the point of view of hygiene-health care – died in an average of 200 children a year, which for me is a tragedy. Of the remainder, more than half of the reported cases from the beginning of the year was affected in the age group between 15 and 39 years. This is a consequence of a lack of vaccinations. When I was a child I nobody vaccinava, then the virus circulated freely, and all the tighten in the big man from the small, that is, when the disease is far less dangerous. Today the vaccination is more widespread, but it does not cover the totality of the population: the virus circulates less, and then is contracted by adults, with consequences much more severe. What is the solution to curb the spread of measles? You have to vaccinate all the children, because if they vacciniamo infectious diseases such as measles do not circulate more and we will all be protected, children and adults. It is true that doctors are struggling to recognize the measles since it was – at least until recently – of a disease that is deemed little dangerous, and almost in extinction? Fortunately yes, just because it is a disease that is seen less. But it is also true that measles we do not have a therapy, only a vaccine, it protects us: today there is the same mortality of 40 years ago. Only children can be vaccinated? Absolutely no, an adult who was not vaccinated in the past can and must do it. What are the symptoms and the cause? And how is the infection? The contagion is very easy, it is one of the infectious diseases more contagious: a person with measles can infect 18 other. The symptoms are fever, conjunctivitis, respiratory problems and then the skin reaction. But there are also serious pneumonia and encephalitis, which can cause permanent damage or even death. What other diseases are commonly considered “trivial” are likely to become particularly worrisome for the health of italians? Polio, meningitis, pertussis, diphtheria, haemophilus type B. Are all diseases dangerous but possible to contain it. What is the appeal that would make parents who do not want to vaccinate their children against measles or other diseases? I did a post this morning on Facebook. In Wales, In 2012, there was the same custom Italian not to get vaccinated. However, everything is finished, as the measles has killed a boy of 25 years: the people then made the line for the vaccine. In my opinion, if people do not want to be vaccinated yourself, you have to introduce the obligation, for a child or an adult not vaccinated damages society.",16759,"italy"

"39107","Image copyright Jovanmandic  Compulsory measles vaccinations for all children starting primary school may be needed to prevent a resurgence of the disease, experts say.  Italian researchers believe the current voluntary programmes in countries like the UK will not be enough to curb outbreaks in the coming decades.  They said vaccination rates had fallen because of misleading campaigns claiming vaccinations are dangerous.  But others questioned whether compulsory vaccinations would help.  The researchers from the Bruno Kessler Foundation and Bocconi University raised concern about vaccination rates in a number of countries, including the US, Ireland and Australia, as well as in the UK.  They have used computer modelling to predict how many measles cases could occur, the journal BMC Medicine reported.  It found that the number of cases in the UK could double in the coming decades, leading the researchers to call for compulsory vaccinations as has happened in Italy, where children need to be vaccinated to start primary school.  In England, the proportion of children receiving both doses of the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) jab by their fifth birthday has fallen over the last four years to 87.2%.  This is below the 95% said by the World Health Organization to be the level necessary to protect a population from a disease.  The UK was declared free of the highly contagious measles disease for the first time by the WHO in 2017.  But in 2018, it experienced small outbreaks, and in March this year there was a sharp increase of cases across Greater Manchester.

""Mandatory immunisation is certainly one way to try and increase coverage but it's far from clear how well it works or whether it would work at all in many places.  ""If the reasons that the vaccine is not getting into the children relate to easy access, vaccine supply or clarity of information available to parents, then making it compulsory will do nothing to alleviate such obstacles.  ""If there is widespread mistrust of authority or of the motivation behind any such requirements, it could actually make things worse.""  Earlier this year, Health Secretary Matt Hancock said that he was willing to look at ""all options"" to boost England's vaccination levels, including compulsory immunisation.  Mr Hancock said he did not want to ""reach the point"" of imposing jabs, but would ""rule nothing out"".

"40106","THERE is no link at all between having the MMR vaccine and autism - even in children who have other risk factors for the condition, scientists have confirmed.  That's the conclusion of a nationwide study of all children born in Denmark to Danish-born mums between 1999 and 2010.  1 There's no evidence to suggest that MMR vaccines cause autism Credit: Alamy  In contrast to past scaremongering, scientists say that there is no evidence to suggest that the mumps, measles and rubella (MMR) vaccine poses any risk.  The link between the jab and autism has continued to be a concern among parents, which is why some still refuse to have their kids immunised.  As a result, more and more children are going down with measles in Europe and the US.  The World Health Organisation (WHO) says that anti-vax movements are one of the top ten threats to global health at the moment.  Reluctance to immunise kids is one of the biggest threats to health today  Scientists from the Statens Serum Institut, Copenhagen, Denmark, followed 657,461 children for a decade to see whether the MMR vaccine increased the risk of autism in children.  Of all of those kids, 6,517 were diagnosed with autism.  Comparing MMR-vaccinated with MMR-unvaccinated children, the researchers found that there was no increased risk for autism, even in those kids who had a sibling with the condition, autism risk factors or other childhood vaccinations.  According to the experts, this latest research just adds to previous studies confirming the same thing.  Cases of measles have doubled in the past year  While the jab won't make your child autistic, not having the jab could put them at massive risk from potentially life-threatening illnesses.  WHO has said that measles cases have jumped up by 50 per cent in the last year.  It's a highly infectious viral illness that can sometimes lead to very serious complications.  It can cause things like pneumonia and encephalitis - both of which can kill or leave people seriously disabled for the rest of their lives.

You are not alone, and you can even import this disease on the american continent, which has managed to eradicate the last few years. Here are five ideas of country cool, where the spread of the disease. 1 - The Costa Rica Of the French have already started the job, so follow in their footsteps to continue the spread. Ask your child to give kisses to everyone on the beaches, and create a second wind of panic in the country to enjoy quietly the beautiful landscapes of this country. 2 - The Peru of The peruvians, of nature râblée and willingly resourceful, resist a lot of things : hunger, cold, poverty or the files uninterrupted of tourists in front of the Machu Picchu. But measles ? And if you try the experience ? Send your child in a crowded bus ride, and have him cough every 6 seconds. 3 - The British Destination for fashion since a few years in the ""backpackers"" who work in normal times, in finance or in marketing, Colombia is famous for its crime, a top-of-the-range and its cocaine of excellent quality. A good old-fashioned measles would be a golden opportunity to spice up the lives of the colombians and to break the clichés about this beautiful country. 4 - Argentina, According to several studies, the Argentines are the people the more pretentious of South America, then head to the most humble, throwing your sick child in the middle of a crowd of people who came to party for any reason (these people always find a good reason to celebrate at a given time). To do this, your child may be screened using the barrel of a circus, and it can be a formidable weapon if it survives, and it takes taste. 5 - The Amazon Yes we know this is not a country. And then ? You are going to sway us ? Or to make a complaint ? Good. The tribes of the Amazon do not know the measles, so put your child on a boat on the Amazon river, and let sail, sail, sail, until he is taken in by a primitive tribe. With a little luck, your child will be able to exterminate all the tribes remaining, and if he survives, he will become the undisputed king of the jungle.

The allies do almost every day raid in the sky of nazi Germany with their bombers, but things do not go as they should go. The air defense of the germans is leathery and their anti-aircraft fire, which takes advantage of the deadly guns of 88mm, is well prepared, well trained, and opposes it with great effectiveness. Among the allies is winding pessimism: they are losing too many bombers, and if things continue like this, the situation does not promise anything good. We need to do something, but don't know what. Someone suggests even decrease the number of people that make up the crew, in order to limit the losses, but of course this is not the solution. The solutions of the allies at The end you decide to corazzare the bombers, but since, obviously, every kilo of armor is a pound of bombs in less, you can't protect the whole fuselage. Not only that, the armor is a double-edged weapon: it protects, but worsens the performance, and makes the bomber more vulnerable. You need to choose where to place the protections that must be used with great parsimony. You can not go by trial and error, because an error may have fatal consequences. Therefore, it is organized in an impeccable manner.

After a few months of work is rigorous and methodical, finally there is available a precise map of the areas most damaged of the bombers. The problem, in short, seems to be the way of solution: the worst damaged areas have been identified and are the ones to protect. Just do it and things will improve.

And although five may not sound much, it is assessed that there is an outbreak of measles virus in Denmark. It will now get the Statens Serum Institut and several experts to urge you to ensure that you are vaccinated if you do not already have it. - That is the circulation of measles virus and a risk of infection in Denmark, since we are dealing with a highly contagious disease. - You should firstly check whether you are vaccinated or have had the disease, but if you have not received the former, is there a possibility to get the vaccine for free. And it applies to both children and adults, says Peter Henrik Andersen, who is afdelingslage at the Statens Serum Institut. He is backed up by Jan Pravsgaard Christensen, who is a professor at the Department of Immunology and Microbiology at Copenhagen University. If we put 100 people in a room that is not infected, and there come in one check, which is infected, then they will all 100 in the course of an hour be infected Jan Pravsgaard Christensen, professor at the Department of Immunology and Microbiology, UNIVERSITY of copenhagen. - I can't find one argument against it. It is important that we come out and are vaccinated now, he says. Five people infected in two weeks In week 7, it emerged that two people had been infected with measles during a skiing holiday in the French Val Thorens. Here was a woman in 50's from Rudersdal Municipality and a younger man from the island of Fyn. Then you had a visitor at Greve Museum found measles after having attended the opening of a new exhibition 3. February.

Peter Henrik Andersen, Statens Serum Institute stresses that one should not take directly to the doctor to be checked, but you should call the doctor and tell about his / her symptoms. Otherwise, you can infect others in the waiting room. In fact it is so contagious, that if you are not immune, you can rarely see themselves to be infected, if one is in contact with an infected, says professor Jan Pravsgaard Christensen. - If we put 100 people in a room that is not infected, and there come in one check, which is infected, then they will all 100 in the course of an hour be infected.

Misinformation spread on the web This is Ida Donkin agree. She is a medical doctor and ph.d. of Doctors Intermediary, which is a volunteer organization that works to spread greater understanding about disease and health. According to the doctor is the current outbreak in Denmark is a consequence of the fact that in Europe, we have seen a particularly large outbreak of measles in 2018, in which more than 83.000 has been infected, and 72 have died: - even Though we don't usually have measles in Denmark, we travel a lot, and therefore we got it really close.

And so the misinformation and conspiracy theories on social media. Ida Donkin mentions, among other things, a false-crafted research study from the late 1990s, which assumed that there was a link between autism and the measles vaccine, and who for many years has passed its time: - It is unfortunate that such stories are allowed to spread, especially when you can't remove the lies again. It is hugely harmful, when such stories spreads, she says. Just this fact supports the national Association for Autism up on: - We get very often the question from people to parents with children who have been diagnosed with autism. But it is the case with autism, that we very rarely have a family where autism is not in the family already. Autism is genetic.

The news has activated all alarms, and has again been currently a topic that is directly related to a decline in the vaccination rate of the european countries. In 2018, the measles has reappeared in several European countries: France, United Kingdom, Portugal, and Spain, where it was reported an outbreak in the Community of Valencia and a case of Navarra. According to the report of the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), published may 18, 2018 , measles, advances firm in Europe.

The expert divides this current into four groups: ""parents who can't vaccinate their children because they have some disease that is a risk, children who do not have access because they are marginalized socially, the parents have a reasonable doubt about the need to vaccinate for a disease that supposedly is extinct, and those that do not vaccinate for that are against the system and they propose an alternative lifestyle"". The chair of the AEV said, ""you must listen to all opinions, and to educate them"". Praises also the recovery of the universal health care that the rate of vaccination reach to all the children, and adds, in regard to those who are looking for more natural methods to improve the world, that ""the only thing you can do to evolve the world really is knowledge, and science"".

The group of 13 British doctors and nurses left the UK for the Pacific island today (Friday, 29 November) to help children who are suffering.  The support from the UK-aid funded UK’s Emergency Medical Team (UK EMT) follows an urgent request for British expertise from the Samoan government and the Australian Medical Assistance Team (AusMAT), who have spent the last two weeks tackling the outbreak.  Over 2,900 people in Samoa have so far been infected, and 39 people, including 35 children under four have died. A further 250 new cases were recorded in the last 24 hours.  Measles is a highly contagious virus that can spread to others through coughing and sneezing.  Each case can infect many other people and complications can lead to pneumonia, severe diarrhoea and encephalitis or inflammation of the brain.  The UK medics will focus on helping patients recover from these complications.  Over the past few years, childhood immunisation rates including measles has dropped significantly in Samoa, making the country highly vulnerable to outbreaks. The majority of measles cases diagnosed in Samoa have been children and 90% of all deaths so far are of children under the age of five.  International Development Secretary Alok Sharma said:  This deadly measles outbreak is having a devastating impact on the people of Samoa, particularly children, who urgently need our help. The UK is stepping up to do all we can to prevent the further loss of life.  The UK team’s work to treat Samoan children is part of a wider international push by UK aid to stop premature deaths, including through vaccinating against preventable diseases.  DFID supports various organisations that work to strengthen global health including the World Health Organisation, UNICEF and Gavi, an international vaccine alliance, who are hosting a replenishment summit in the UK next year.  The UK team flew out from Manchester Airport today and are expected to arrive in Samoa on Sunday, where they will embed with AusMAT, initially for two weeks.  Their work will begin in the main hospital in Samoa’s capital Apia on Monday morning.  UK-Med CEO David Wightwick said:  Our mission is that people affected by disease outbreaks, conflict or natural disasters around the world receive the best quality emergency healthcare. Alongside our partners Humanity & Inclusion we’re pleased to be able to support our AUSMAT and Samoan healthcare colleagues who have been working tirelessly to save lives and alleviate suffering. We’re grateful that our team of dedicated clinicians are able to provide expert and specialist care to those affected by the measles outbreak in Samoa with funding from UK Aid from the British people.

"1403","In countries where decreased vaccination coverage against measles is re-emerging cases of this highly contagious infection, warns the World health organization. During the first months of this year have fallen ill in Italy, 200 people, Romania, then from January 2016 reporting 3 400 cases and 17 deaths. Epidemics of measles are at risk of also neighbouring Slovakia. Fatal complications of measles are more common than recently thought. Yet opponents of vaccination continue to insist on its, vaccination is said to be unnecessary. As highlighted in the report of the World health organization (WHO), measles is a highly contagious and whereas, as people travel a lot, no country and even no individual can be from this infection free. ""For adequate protection is needed to at least 95 % of the population has been vaccinated against measles. However, many countries has a problem to achieve this,"" sums up the current situation regarding occurrence of measles in Europe, the british news portal BBC News: ""Most of the cases of measles appeared in countries where vaccination coverage has dropped below this threshold – France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Romania, Switzerland and Ukraine."" Own the infection then takes place in the epidemics in the various states. Preliminary data by the WHO in February 2017 then suggest that the number of cases of measles has risen sharply. ""I appeal to all countries where there were epidemics of measles, to take urgent measures to prevent transmission of measles in its territory, and to all the countries that already have achieved this, to maintain a high vaccination coverage,"" said Zsuzsanna Jakabová, director of the WHO for Europe. According to data of the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control in the Uk only since the beginning of February 2016 until the end of January 2017 appeared 575 cases of measles, and that's despite the fact that it is in the country of available vaccine, which protects against measles, mumps and rubella. ""It is a strange paradox that at a time when we have available an effective vaccine and we were close to the eradication of measles, which would subsequently lead to the fact that it would be possible to cancel the inoculations against them, we stand face to face recurrent epidemics of infectious diseases,"" notes associate professor Rastislav Hungarian, president of the Forum of infectious, tropical and travel medicine, and the expert guarantor of the networks of Centres of vaccination and travel medicine Avenier. ""Opponents of vaccination are calling for it to vaccinate as little as possible, which would indeed, in the case of measles, it was possible to achieve, if managed to maintain a high enough vaccination coverage, and measles would have ceased to exist. His intimidation but they achieve the opposite, and therefore, developed countries like Austria or Germany have a case of measles bigger problems than Honduras or Guatemala, where there is a high enough vaccination rates,“ he adds. Disappeared the fear of infections, but increased the fear of vaccination Reasons for the decline in vaccination coverage in european countries, where the measles again appeared, it is more. ""In some countries, as for example in Ukraine, there have been problems with the supply and purchases of vaccines,"" described by Robb Butler of WHO regional office for Europe (on the situation in Ukraine wrote ZD more than a year ago here) . Sometimes it is the cause of even relatively simple, namely, that of ensuring vaccination for children for parents a relatively organizationally challenging. An example according to BBC News it may be France, where parents must first visit your doctor to pick up the recipe for a vaccine. With him to come to the pharmacy, pick up the vaccine and to deal again with the doctor on the date of their own vaccination. ""It is necessary to get to the point where we realize that people have busy lives and different priorities,"" added Butler. A major impact on the decline in vaccination coverage against measles has then refusing vaccination. Just used the vaccine, which also protects against measles, stood at the origin of the rumors that vaccination causes autism. This belief originated in the late nineties, and on the basis of the work of the former doctor Andrew Wakefield. His study published in the prestigious journal the Lancet, was conducted on only 12 children, and based on the memories of some of the parents came to the fact that vaccination with MMR has a temporal link with a negative change in a child's development. Itself Wakefield then started claiming that vaccination with MMR is risky and definitely not recommended. Subsequently, however, it became clear that he had committed several serious mistakes. Not only that he received money from the lawyers of parents who were convinced that their children harm is vaccination with the MMR, and at the same time he patented his own vaccine, however, none of this in the study as a conflict of interest did not specify. At the same time performed in the examined children number of invasive procedures, without the approval of the ethics committee, and, in particular, deliberately distorted the observed data. Journal Lancet, his job pulled off with the fact that she was ""completely false"". ""Wakefield acted dishonestly and irresponsibly, and acted with reckless indifference with the children involved in his study, conducting unnecessary and invasive tests,"" noted during the investigation, the british General Medical Council that after investigation Wakefieldových acts decided to remove his medical license. It happened just because he tampered with the data. For the opponents of vaccination then became a ""martyr"" and at the same time anchor of the ""truth"". Even if any of the following many dozens of studies, which have included millions of children, Wakefieldovy conclusions not confirmed, this false information still affect the behavior of the parents. Itself Wakefield again returns to the limelight, and even thanks to the advent of Donald Trump into the presidential office. Trump according to him, he wants to ""know the truth about vaccination"", and is therefore very pleased that the presidential race won he just. The more we wrote here. My role in this is that parents perceive autism as a real danger for your child, while infectious disease is not. It shows the recent Slovak research, in which participated Maria Hatoková from the Institute of experimentálnej psychológie Slovenskej akadémie vied and Radomír Masaryk from the Faculty of sociálnych and economic vied Comenius University. ""We're on sa I báť of what we in kontakte, I mean vedľajších účinkov vaccines. And behold I stand next to it, that sa väčšina ľudí stretne flax with conventional komplikáciami. But the parent is aj so zneistený and has in himself too veľa fear about the child. Ak parent prežíva veľkú úzkosť, so neprečíta that 99,2 percenta kids vedľajšie effects, but prečíta that of 0.8 percenta of children responds to the vaccine závažne,“ she described the psychologist Mária Hatoková for Slovak news portal Log N. Research, in which participated, describe just that hesitant parents often opt for vaccination in time, when the infection appears in their vicinity and begin to perceive it as a possible threat to their children. ""Niektorí rodičia radi podliehajú rôznym konšpiračným teóriám, and when they are presvedčení that očkovanie he can damage zdravie ich dieťaťa, so they are often resilient eyes všetkým logical and scientific argumentom. Niekedy just that sa tieto ochorenia or úmrtia objavia, and then quickly menia opinion,“ she told the Journal N Zuzana Krištúfková, head of the department of epidemiology of the Slovak zdravotníckej university. Epidemics of measles due to declining vaccination coverage in at risk of also neighbouring Slovakia. Measles also appeared in Hungary. Just Slovakia will probably other countries, where there is an increase in the number of cases of measles, and that changes the behavior of some parents, who until recently were reluctant to vaccinate their children or not. ""I think we jeopardy epidémiou osýpok. We have here a group of nezaočkovaných children and the pri introduction vírusu osýpok will have the virus for it to have originated epidémie,“ she added epidemiožka. According to the findings of the diary WE Slovak pediatricians are now faced with parents ' questions on vaccination against measles. Even they are interested in and whether it would not be possible to vaccinate children under one year of age, although across the board to get vaccinated when the kids are older. ""Write me rodičia children that are mladšie ako year, or would the sa couldn't zaočkovať ich before,"" she described the diary of a baby doctor Marta Špániková from Bratislava. Vaccinate according to her, they want even those parents who vaccination refused just under the influence of various antivakcinačních movement. Measles could be eradicated and vaccinations against them, repealed the Paradox in the current situation is that the measles are a disease that could be eradicated, thus eradicated, like smallpox. Measles actually do not suffer from the animals, and if they managed to get rid of people, the infection would have after a few years ceased to exist altogether. ""We continue to invest in programmes with the aim of increasing vaccination rates and ultimately pass the measles in the history books,"" stated for BBC News Mary Ramsay, head of the department for vaccination Public Health England, the office for public health. This office, inter alia, monitors the cases of measles in the country and also how the infection spreads. In the past years as a source of infection have shown music festivals and other public events, where large numbers of people gather. Here is often infected adolescents and young adults. ""People of all ages, who have not received two doses of MMR vaccine, or are unsure, should contact their general practitioner. It's never too late for a vaccination and measles can be serious in adulthood,“ added Ramsay. Measles, which is easily and quickly spread, may have a severe course and lead to fatal complications, these are even more common than even recently anticipated. Showed that study, which was published last year at the international conference on infectious diseases IDWeek in New Orleans. Until recently, the scientific community was based on the recent German study, according to which the risk of development of subacute sclerosing panencephalitis 1:1 700 in children who had measles before the fifth birthday. Older work then indicated the frequency of this fatal complication of measles, which is developing even years after their own infection, 1:100 000. In this disease, spalničkový virus slowly attacks the central nervous system of the child, until eventually death occurs. This disease, when the virus after a previous infection reactivates, it is incurable and the vast majority of patients die within three years from the manifestation of the disease. The study showed that the probability of this fatal complication of measles, which always ends with the death of a child, is in fact higher and it 1:1 to 387, in the case of that sick child under the age of five years. However, if a sick infant, which still could be due to the age vaccinated, the probability of the development of subacute sclerosing panencephalitis even 1:600. The statistics are in the case of this complication of measles relentless, even when it appears to after a few years since my infection, a tenth of patients die during the first three months of the onset of the disease, 80 % of patients will die within the next three years and the remaining 10 % will die within ten years. ""It's a very scary surprise,"" commented the results of the research for the Reuters professor James Cherry, who, as a pediatrician specializing in infectious diseases acting at the University of California and participated in this scientific work. ""Is it necessary to vaccinate everyone and to create a collective immunity that protects you against measles, and subacute sclerosing panencefalitidě the most vulnerable,"" described the scientist. Collective immunity, when the vast majority of the population against measles been vaccinated, it protects those who cannot be vaccinated, whether because of age, because they are under the age of 12 months, or their immune system is not in such a condition that it was possible to carry out the vaccination. More about the possible complications of measles here. Measles usually manifest themselves in the form of fever, cough, rhinitis, and rash, but in children under five years and adults the disease is often accompanied by complications. According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention must be every fourth sick due to an infection hospitalized. For every twentieth child that measles get sick, appear pneumonia, this is also the most common cause of death in children due to this disease. If you get sick pregnant woman, the infection can cause premature birth and the birth of a child, which you into the life of the bear harder to start than others. Yet tend to be from the side of the opponents of vaccination referred to as a common childhood disease. ""Every time I hear that measles are not dangerous, I remember the kids I saw in the hospital dying right on the measles,"" recalls the associate professor Vilma Marešová, which operates on the Even. infectious clinic 2. FACULTY of medicine and Hospital na Bulovce. A hard fact is that these deaths are of children may again experience, because that gets sick the most vulnerable, that cannot be because of their age or a serious health condition vaccinated.

"48106","HIGHLY contagious measles outbreaks reached more than 20,000 across Europe last year after parents shunned vaccinations, health experts have warned.  The large-scale outbreaks occurred in countries where vaccine uptake was low or vaccine supplies were interrupted, according to the World Health Organisation (WHO).  2 These are the worst hit areas for measles outbreaks across Europe  Measles is highly contagious disease that can be prevented by having the vaccination, offered by the NHS as a single measles, mumps and rubella jab.  But last year cases across Europe spiked 400 per cent with 21,315 people affected and 35 people killed following a record low of 5,273 cases in 2016.  In 15 parts of the continent vaccination rates are falling behind and disease surveillance systems are under performing, the agency warned.  Of the cases recorded, 19,100 were recorded in eight of those 15 countries - Romania, Italy, Ukraine, Greece, Germany, Serbia, Tajikistan and France.  2 Measles starts with cold like symptoms before a rash develops a few days later Credit: Getty - Contributor  Dr Zsuzsanna Jakab, the WHO's regional director for Europe, said: ""Every new person affected by measles in Europe reminds us that unvaccinated children and adults, regardless of where they live, remain at risk of catching the disease and spreading it to others who may not be able to get vaccinated.  ""Over 20 000 cases of measles, and 35 lives lost in 2017 alone, are a tragedy we simply cannot accept.  ""Elimination of both measles and rubella is a priority goal that all European countries have firmly committed to, and a cornerstone for achieving the health-related sustainable development goals.  ""This short-term setback cannot deter us from our commitment to be the generation that frees our children from these diseases once and for all.""  Measles is a highly infectious viral illness that can be very unpleasant and sometimes lead to serious complications.  It's now uncommon in the UK because of high vaccination rates although last year there were 282 cases of the disease recorded in the UK, according to WHO.  As a result of vaccination rates it is unlikely a widespread outbreak will happen, but smaller, localised cases could happen in parts where large numbers of kids and babies have not had their vaccine.  Anyone can get measles if they haven't already had it, but it is more common in young children.  It starts with cold like symptoms before a rash develops a few days later.  The rash looks like small, red-brown blotches and can make a person feel very unwell.  WHY COULD YOU BE AT RISK? FOR the majority of people in the UK, measles does not pose a risk. That's because most people will be immunised against the disease, having been given the vaccine as a child. But, there remain some people who are not protected. There has been some controversy about whether the MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) jab - included as part of the NHS childhood immunisation programme - might cause autism. The controversy led to some parents refusing to have their babies vaccinated. Doubts were raised following a 1998 study by Dr Andrew Wakefield. In his paper, published in The Lancet journal, he warned of a link between the combined jab and autism or bowel disease. But, his work has since been discredited, and he was struck off as a doctor in the UK. More recent studies have found no link between the jab and autism or bowel disease. Source: NHS Choices  Severe complications can occur, including miscarriage in pregnant women, brain swelling and the risk of death from pneumonia.  The virus is spread through coughing and sneezing and through close contact with infected individuals.  The biggest outbreaks recorded last year were in Romania and Italy.  Romania recorded 5,562 cases and Italy had some 5,006 cases.  The WHO has previously warned that measles is still regularly found in certain areas of the world and it can spread to any country, including those that have eliminated the disease.  Every un-immunised person, regardless of their age, is at risk of contracting the disease, especially in countries with low immunisation rates.

The disease is no longer considered eradicated in Albania, the Czech Republic, Greece and the UK.  ""We are backsliding, we are on the wrong track,"" said Kate O'Brien of the WHO's Immunization Department.  Measles is a highly contagious and potentially fatal illness that causes coughing, rashes and fever.  The disease can be prevented through two doses of the MMR vaccine, which is available for free for all young children in the UK.  Countries are declared measles-free when there is no endemic transmission for 12 months in a specific geographic area.  Ms O'Brien said all four European nations that have lost their eradication status have ""extremely high"" vaccination coverage.  ""This is the alarm bell that is ringing around the world: being able to achieve high national coverage is not enough, it has to be achieved in every community, and every family for every child,"" she said.  Health experts warn that lies about the measles vaccine have allowed the illness to spread in certain areas or communities.  What are the numbers?  All regions of the world showed an increase in measles bar the Americas, which saw a minor decline - although the US registered its highest number of cases in 25 years.  Close to 365,000 cases have been reported worldwide this year, the WHO said, almost three times as many as in the first half of 2018.  Image copyright Reuters Image caption Measles is easily preventable through vaccination  Dr O'Brien blamed misinformation about vaccines and called on social media companies and community leaders to provide ""accurate, valid, scientifically credible information"".  The Democratic Republic of Congo, Madagascar and Ukraine are suffering the largest outbreaks of measles.  Numbers of measles cases were steadily declining worldwide until 2016, when the illness began a resurgence.  WHO officials said the reasons for the renewed spread vary from country to country.

Teachers and daycare workers, staff in hospitals and residents of refugee shelters will also have to be vaccinated after the law comes into force in March 2020.

"50107","Video caption How vaccines and herd immunity works  Measles has returned to four European nations previously seen as free of the illness, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).  The disease is no longer considered eradicated in Albania, the Czech Republic, Greece and the UK.  ""We are backsliding, we are on the wrong track,"" said Kate O'Brien of the WHO's Immunization Department.  Measles is a highly contagious and potentially fatal illness that causes coughing, rashes and fever.  The disease can be prevented through two doses of the MMR vaccine , which is available for free for all young children in the UK.  Countries are declared measles-free when there is no endemic transmission for 12 months in a specific geographic area.  Ms O'Brien said all four European nations that have lost their eradication status have ""extremely high"" vaccination coverage.  ""This is the alarm bell that is ringing around the world: being able to achieve high national coverage is not enough, it has to be achieved in every community, and every family for every child,"" she said.  Health experts warn that lies about the measles vaccine have allowed the illness to spread in certain areas or communities.  What are the numbers?  All regions of the world showed an increase in measles bar the Americas, which saw a minor decline - although the US registered its highest number of cases in 25 years.  Close to 365,000 cases have been reported worldwide this year, the WHO said, almost three times as many as in the first half of 2018.

The Democratic Republic of Congo, Madagascar and Ukraine are suffering the largest outbreaks of measles.

"5315","“The spread of measles in Italy for me is a great humiliation as an Italian citizen. In a civilized Country, measles is no more, and instead in Italy we are in the presence of 3500 cases from the beginning of the year, a true epidemic.“ These are the words of Roberto Burioni, professor of Microbiology and Virology, University Vita-Salute San Raffaele of Milan, during his intervention in the Omnibus (La7). “Sweden” – continue – “where there is no law that obliges parents to vaccinate their children, has 98% coverage and this year she has had 3 cases of measles. They all say: ‘I had the measles as a child, and I am here.’ Also I've had small and I am here, but I when I was little I was riding in a car without a seat belt, because it was not there. As a kid, I rode the Vespa without a helmet and are here. But this does not allow me to say that the helmet is not needed”. And he stresses: “measles is a very serious illness, that in one case out of 1000 causes a encephalitis is very serious. In one case, about 2 thousand-3 thousand will result in death. But even in those that heal, and leaves a severe immunosuppression, then a weakening of the immune system, which increases the mortality for other diseases. In the 1500's, when a person becomes ill with measles, and then heals, six or seven years after, he developed a panencefalite, that is, a disease of late of the brain, which is serious and deadly. Measles is a disease that must be made to disappear in our Country. We do not have a therapy, but we have a vaccine that is very safe and is very effective“. Burioni then disprove “the conspiracy of the multinational corporations” topic, cult of the No-Vax: “multinational companies have a turnover of ridiculous about vaccines, that a turnover of 1.4% of national expenditure in 2015, up from 318 million euro. The turnover of a single disease without the vaccine, such as hepatitis C, it is almost one billion and 800 million”. Then it focuses on his activities on the social: “There is one thing that about a year ago I found intolerable: the lies have the same dignity of the truth. In science there are two bells to say if the Earth is flat or round. There are the objective data measured who say that the Earth is round. This is what I have wanted to fight on the social, giving information reliable and scientifically reliable. I in my post I put always the references, because I speak with the voice of science, not with that of Roberto Burioni. And I have tried to ensure that the network is not a territory of the exclusive domain of people who spread lies dangerous“. The virologist, finally, denies categorically his ambition of a political career, and expresses some criticism of the decree Lorenzin, currently under consideration in the Senate: “I found it regrettable the fact that it was introduced the obligation to be vaccinated for the health and for teachers. And, citizen, I found it very annoying for the existence of the fine. You cannot swap a civic duty with a payment. I can't pay 1000 euro and be free to go to 300 km/h on the highway.

Next vaccination rates are involved, other factors – such as travel abroad or more frequent stays of foreigners in the us. According to vakcinologa Romana Chlíbka are currently the biggest problem of measles, for which vaccination coverage is dropping in the whole of Europe. It's a disease with one of the highest indices of virulence. ""Contagiousness of measles is roughly four times higher than for influenza,"" says Chlíbek. This means that they get sick virtually anyone with measles meets. To interrupt the circulation of measles virus in the company is according to him only by radically limiting the number of people, who during a meeting with the infection get sick they can. ""Contagiousness of measles is almost one hundred percent. They may take place with serious complications, such as pneumonia, brain inflammation, inflammation of the middle ear. They may also end up with permanent neurological consequences,“ agrees with him Kynčl. How to recognize measles Measles is a highly infectious viral disease. Initially manifested fever, rhinitis, conjunctivitis and cough, and later a rash. The most dangerous are in children up to six years. They can be fatal. Most imported cases of the disease in the us this year is reported from the Ukraine. against measles in the CZECH republic compulsory seeded from September 1969, the two doses since 1982. As the disease progress, we wrote in the article, the Disease begins as a viral infection, but may even end up death The easier it is to transmit disease, the stronger is the need for a wall of immune individuals, if its going to stop. ""For example, in the case of measles is considered a minimum threshold of vaccination coverage considered to be 95 percent, some authors have reported even 98 percent. In other diseases may be sufficient 90 percent border coverage,“ says Chlíbek. According to Kynčla would re-occur and the illness, which in the Czech republic, have dozens of years do not occur at all or only sporadically. ""In the world of these infections do not disappear and the risk of their introduction still exists,"" he adds Kynčl. For example, even diphtheria or polio, which despite the name can get sick and adults. On the rise are now disease, for which vaccination with time loses power, for example, whooping cough. According to experts, already after a few years, does not protect or so before that, make a person sick, but rather from complications. You can be serious in adults with reduced immunity, but deadly, especially in young children. Up to 85 percent of the deaths reported to the World health organization consists of just children up to two years. Do you understand the arguments of opponents of vaccination?",9448,"czech"

Only medication to relieve the symptoms of measles can be given, because there is no treatment to cure this disease, reminds us of the ARS. The objective of health authorities is to achieve, as recommended by the world health Organization, 95 % vaccination coverage among those at risk. However, the coverage with the second dose of the vaccine, which guarantees the immunity, varies between departments, between 62 % and 88 %, declared a public Health France in march.

In the meantime, I sit in a wheelchair, a fate, for no one can do something and I accepted that a long time ago. But the children of today have a Chance that I had, and I appeal to all parents: make use of this Chance, let's vaccinate your children against measles. What happened in my early Childhood, I have, of course, no memories. But my parents have told me that I fell ill within two years of the then ""popular"" children's diseases, diphtheria, scarlet fever and whooping cough. It was so in the case of children, there were no vaccinations. Today, the Standing Committee on vaccination recommends that all children receive two measles vaccinations, and prior to the third birthday. When I infected myself with the measles weakened my organism, so that there was a complication: I got a inflammation of the brain. This complication occurs even today. According to the Robert-Koch Institute, a brain inflammation occurs in one in 1000 measles cases in children under two years of age. It comes four to seven days after the start of the rash to neurological symptoms. It was not clear whether I would survive The showed me in the Form of a the entire body to be detected, spastic paralysis. I was more than two months in a children's hospital. It was not clear whether I would survive, the treatment options were very limited. The paralysis of the arms has formed relatively quickly largely back, the paralysis of the legs, however, remained permanently. At the time in the children's hospital, I have only shadowy memories. When I was discharged, I was as helpless as a Baby. All I had to skillfully ever, I had to re-learn to run. I managed, I was able to eventually move independently forward, but I had the speed of a Spastikers. My muscles was tense and I was moving much slower than the other children. A bit of a stud, this was going on, but a hundred-metre race was not to play in the national youth in it. I can Worry about the side effects of vaccination understand With 10, 11 years ago, I had surgery on the knee and hip, it was hoped that a better response, but the success did not last long. I have made it my way. A commercial apprenticeship in business studies followed. That helped turn me to a good Job. But from the mid-40's my condition worsened. I needed first a cane to Walk, then a Walker, finally a wheelchair. With the beginning of 50, I had to apply for early retirement. I don't want to complain and not about philosophizing, how my life would be if I had to go back and get any inflammation of the Brain due to measles. I can understand if parents make because of the side effects of vaccinations to Worry about. But for all the fear you have to wonder what can happen if you let the child not vaccinated. You can expect to actually communicate to people the consideration that vaccination is less risky than a measles infection and its possible consequences. Let your kids vaccinated! In the National vaccination plan, you can find impressive Figures: Between 2005 and 2009, 169 vaccine damage have been recognized, one of which is after a measles vaccination. In the same time Doctors were charging more than 211.2 million doses of the vaccine. The risk of suffering through the measles is a permanent injury, like me, is so much a thousand times higher than the risk to be a vaccination damage. My parents had the choice, today's parents can decide, and it would not be gross negligence, if you have taken this Chance. Pay the price for their children. The consequences of an inflammation of the brain are also not creating today, using the tools of modern medicine to the world.

"56107","Image copyright Science Photo Library  The UK has lost its measles-free status three years after the virus was eliminated in the country.  Cases of the potentially deadly infection have been going up, with too few people being vaccinated.  Measles can be prevented through two doses of the MMR vaccine - something that is offered free by the NHS to all young children in the UK.  Why does it matter?  Measles is one of the world's most contagious diseases. It is a viral illness spread by coughing and sneezing. Although most people who catch it will recover, it can lead to life-threatening complications.  Image copyright Getty Images  Before a vaccine was introduced, the UK used to see hundreds of thousands of cases and 100 or more deaths each year.  The measles vaccine, which is included in the MMR jab, is a safe and effective way to stop the disease.  Ideally everyone should be immunised, but the target set by health experts is at least 95% of the population vaccinated.  The UK achieved this in 2016, when the World Health Organization declared the nation measles-free.  That did not mean that measles had been wiped out entirely, just that none of the cases originated in the UK.  But that has now changed. The UK has lost its eliminated status and measles cases are on the rise.  What's going on?  Two doses of the vaccine leaves 99% of people protected - the majority of new measles cases have been in people who are not vaccinated. These cases are most common among older teenagers and people in their early 20s, who missed out on MMR vaccination when they were younger.  A single MMR shot was introduced in 1988, with a second dose added to the immunisation schedule in 1996. Before that, people used to have an individual measles jab. MMR was introduced to improve uptake, coverage and protection.  Today, some parents refuse vaccination for their children, despite the overwhelming evidence in favour of the vaccine and the extensive public health campaign.  Measles circulates in many countries around the world, and there are currently several large outbreaks across Europe in countries where rates of MMR vaccination have been low.  Experts say that until measles elimination is achieved globally we will continue to see cases of measles coming to the UK.  In 2018, there was a marked increase in reported measles cases, with 991 confirmed cases in England and Wales, compared with 284 cases in 2017.  And there have been more than 230 cases across the UK during the first quarter of 2019.  Most are linked to travel in Europe. There have been particularly serious outbreaks in Serbia, Ukraine, Georgia, Greece, Romania, Italy and France.  This can lead to outbreaks in communities and areas where MMR vaccination coverage is below the 95% needed to achieve widespread protection.  Cases have also been linked to young people (who missed out on their MMR vaccine in childhood) attending music festivals and other large public events.  The NHS offers catch-up immunisation programmes for people who have not had their two doses of MMR.  Why are some children not being vaccinated?  Experts say part of the explanation may be complacency - when measles cases became less common people began to perceive the threat of the disease to be less.  Image copyright Getty Images  The publication of a controversial and since discredited piece of research in the late 90s by a doctor called Andrew Wakefield wrongly linking MMR with autism is another factor.  It led to a drop in parents taking their children for the jab, and rates of vaccination took many years to recover. It continues to have an impact today.  There is much misleading information on social media and it can be quickly spread.  What can be done?  Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said he wants urgent action to boost vaccination rates.  He is asking social media companies to ""play their part"" in promoting accurate information on vaccination, and help address any concerns or questions that parents or the public might have.  Some internet companies have attempted to address this problem.  This year Twitter introduced a function which directs users towards ""a credible public health resource"" when they search for certain keywords including measles, MMR and vaccinations. In the UK, users are prompted to visit the NHS website.  Facebook said in April that it planned to reduce the ranking of pages that spread misinformation about vaccination, making them harder to find.  A check of MMR status for 10 and 11-year olds has recently been added to the GP contract in England and the government's recent Green Paper on prevention looks at how to increase rates of vaccination.  Earlier this year, Health Secretary Matt Hancock - who controls the NHS in England - said that he was willing to look at ""all options"" to boost vaccination levels. These would include compulsory immunisation - like some other countries, including Italy, where access to school places requires vaccination.  What's happening around the UK and elsewhere?  As measles is highly infectious, even small declines in vaccination rates can have an impact, and anyone who has not received both doses of MMR is at risk.  Just 87% of children in England are receiving their second dose of MMR. In Wales and Scotland it is around 92%, in Northern Ireland it is 91%. The target is 95%.  In London, estimates suggest about one in four children starting primary school do not have the full protection that the MMR vaccine offers.  For several years global coverage with the first dose of measles vaccine has stalled at 85%. Second dose coverage, while increasing, is 67%.  An estimated 20 million measles cases and 4,500 deaths have been prevented in the UK since a measles vaccine was introduced in 1968.",7924,"uk"

Among them, 91 people have even had to be hospitalized, including 25 with complications very serious, such as severe lung infections, or neurological problems. And if this is the Occitania is the region most affected by this phenomenon, this is not a coincidence : it is one of the regions where we are vaccinating against the measles : 80% of the population, and even 60% only by location, as in the Aude.

""I went home one weekend, I recovered my health book and I checked that I had my two doses required,"" confirms Alexander, in the second year. ""It was the case, so I'm alone,"" he says, relieved. This lack of knowledge of vaccination status comes as no surprise to dr.

Measles is extremely contagious that is transmitted through the air and the particles in the aerosol that can stay in the air up to two hours. This disease, which is most often seen in young children, characterized by fever, malaise, nasal congestion, conjunctivitis, cough and a red rash and dotted with. Most people with measles recover without complications in a week. However, for infants, people with immune deficiencies, and other vulnerable populations, the consequences of a measles infection can be serious. Can occur rare complications, such as pneumonia, encephalitis, other secondary infections, blindness and even death. Before they develop the measles vaccine, the disease killed between two and three million people a year around the world. At present, it still causes more than 100,000 deaths per year around the world.

"58107","Germany is making measles vaccinations compulsory for all children in a new bill which will come into force in March next year.  The Measles Protection Act, which was adopted on July 17, will ensure that parents prove their children have been vaccinated before entering school or nursery.  Those who fail to provide such information before July 2021 could face fines of up to €2,500 ($2,800) and their children could be banned from attending school.  The rule will apply not only to children, but to teachers, carers, doctors, and other adults working in community or medical facilities. Such adults will need to prove they have had the necessary vaccinations to acquire immunity to measles.  In addition to this, the bill will also require asylum seekers and refugees to prove their vaccination status after moving into community accommodation.  Jens Spahn, Germany’s Health Minister, said in a statement:  Whether in kindergarten, at the childminder or at school, we want to protect all children against measles infection.  The news comes after it was revealed that Germany had 203 reported cases of measles in the first 10 weeks of 2019 – more than twice as many as in the same period last year.  Pixabay  Furthermore, as per Germany’s Federal Ministry of Health, there were 429 reported cases of measles by mid-June in 2019 alone. Last year, the total number of reported cases was 544.  Measles is a highly contagious viral disease, with symptoms including a high fever, characteristic red rash, and bloodshot eyes – among other symptoms. Routine vaccinations for children are key in reducing the number of deaths caused by measles, but with people trusting vaccinations less and less, many are failing to vaccinate their children.  This action taken by Germany will hopefully serve to prevent the spread of the disease, while protecting those vulnerable to catching it.  Getty  To fully implement the law, all doctors may carry out vaccinations in the future, excluding dentists. Specialists will also be able to carry out vaccinations independently of the limits for the practice of specialised medical practice.  In addition to this, the Public Health Service will carry out voluntary vaccinations within schools, with health insurers required to make arrangements to reimburse the cost of these vaccinations.  The new regulations will be accompanied by increased information from the Federal Centre for Health Education, with funds amounting to 2 million euros per year being provided.

The first case has as a probable source of infection to the child, the second is related to the transmission of the disease from the colleague. It is an infection that is highly contagious, which is why they have been warned of all the patients who came in contact with the two professionals, and other colleagues, even though there are prophylactic preventive: there is only to be hoped that the transmission of the disease, which is already 3 days before the onset of symptoms and has an incubation period of 12-13 days, stop for two episodes. It can be so only if the vaccination coverage of the persons involved is such as to prevent further infections. The news was leaked on Thursday, but are likely to be the first case dates back to a few weeks ago. What's happened is, is intended to make people think for at least three reasons. First: in an Italy that by 2017 it compares so heavy with the return of measles, there should be doctors that have not been vaccinated, which, however, it still happens, and not only at the San Raffaele. From January to today, about 1.096 cases of measles, 65, i.e. 6% -- relate to health professionals, ammalandosi, can put you at risk also the lives of their patients. For the higher Institute of Health ""immunization of health care workers is extremely important for the protection of the sick, especially those at high risk"". Second, the Lombardy region is Italy's third largest incidence of cases of measles, with 302 cases in 2019, i.e. 72 new infections for every million inhabitants. A fortiori, therefore, it is necessary to know what is the percentage of physicians vaccinated and, if necessary, take appropriate corrective action: in Emilia Romagna, to say, with decision 351 of march 2018, it was decided to prevent it, doctors are not immune to measles, rubella, mumps, tuberculosis, and hepatitis to work in the wards of the hospital where there are sick more serious. Third, the contagion within the San Raffaele hospital in milan, as well as in other hospitals, makes us understand that perhaps the vertices of the same health care facilities underestimate the problem. The health department of the San Raffaele hospital in milan, however, is not to be put under accusation: ""The second doctor that got sick were vaccinated with 2 doses, as recommended by the ministerial, in theory, protected (in a small percentage of cases, around 2%, the infection can also be in the presence of vaccination, ndr). On patients operated on both inpatient and outpatient, who have come in contact with the two heart surgeons, we have carried out the serological investigation as required by the surveillance measures. All were covered because vaccinated or because they had developed the disease in the past. No danger, then, in the course"". But what is being done to push the doctors to get vaccinated? ""In our hospital — the health department — is in place a policy of control serological of staff, including university students, not only for measles, but also mumps, rubella and chicken pox. Health workers in the non-immune is recommended for the vaccination, which can also be done through the vaccination program within the operating for a year"". Yet, in one of the wards, the cardiac surgery, with the patients more fragile, there have been two cases. ""Too many doctors, unfortunately, does not confirm if you are immune and do not remember if they have been vaccinated — it reflects Susanna Esposito, president of the world Association for infectious diseases and professor of Pediatrics at the University of studies of Perugia, after a career that began at the De Marchi of Milan.

The disease can be stopped through two doses of the MMR vaccine, but immunisation rates have been falling for a number of reasons.  And the UK has lost its measles-free status, three years after the virus was eliminated in the country.  In the first quarter of 2019, there were 231 confirmed cases in the UK.  The prime minister announced that:  GPs are being asked to promote catch-up vaccinations for children who may have missed out on both doses  Social media companies are being urged to quash misleading anti-vaccine messages  The firms will be invited to a summit to explore how they can better promote accurate vaccination information  The government will also use the NHS website to address misleading claims about the safety of vaccines  Measles outbreaks in the UK  Many of the UK cases were acquired abroad with some onward spread in under-vaccinated communities.  Just 87% of children in England are receiving their second dose, which is below the 95% target for measles elimination.  The first dose of the MMR vaccine is offered to all one-year-olds. Children are given a second dose of MMR before they start school.  But estimates suggest that in England, one in seven five-year-olds has yet to be fully immunised. Uptake in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland has been higher than in England. Scotland and Northern Ireland exceeded the 95% target for coverage in five-year-olds in the first quarter of 2019.  Image copyright Getty Images  Experts say the drop in uptake may be partly because of complacency - people perceiving the threat of infection as too low to matter. Anti-vaccination messaging may also have contributed.  Mr Johnson said: ""There's a number of reasons why people don't get themselves or their children the vaccines they need, but we need decisive action across our health service and society to make sure communities are properly immunised.  ""From reassuring parents about the safety of vaccines, to making sure people are attending follow-up appointments, we can and must do more to halt the spread of infectious, treatable diseases in modern-day Britain.""  Prof Helen Stokes-Lampard, Chair of the Royal College of GPs, said: ""We are still suffering from the now entirely debunked MMR scandal of the nineties, and it is potentially disastrous that as a result so many young people are now susceptible to serious, often life-threatening infectious diseases, such as measles, that we could have completely eradicated in this country if this had never happened.  ""People who were not vaccinated as children need to understand that it is not too late to have their MMR jab and we would urge them to do so.""  Global issue  Health Secretary Matt Hancock said: ""It's easy to forget how devastating measles can be, precisely because vaccines are so effective at preventing it in the first place.  ""With this strategy, the whole health system will come together to renew focus on vaccinations - especially for our children - and this time we will eliminate measles for good.""

While maintaining the focus on measles, which is the real problem of this Country."" Vaccines, the minister Grillo: ""Keep obligation for measles, not for hexavalent chromium"" is playing.... It should be remembered that measles was an infectious disease that has most worried the Eu in recent years, with a peak of cases reported in several Countries, including Italy.

The highest number was registered in Slovakia, with 257 cases of infection, followed by Greece (155), Italy (113) France (79) United Kingdom (65). Even if it remains among those with the worst performance, our Country sees a decrease in cases compared to 273 in June and 413 cases in may 2018.""From the month of march, the number of cases of measles in the European Union have decreased continuously, indicating a positive development,"" said Tarik Derrough, expert from Ecdc. ""However - he continued - measles continues to spread throughout Europe because the vaccination coverage in most countries remains suboptimal. Only four Eu countries have reported a vaccination coverage of at least 95% for both doses in 2017"".While always during the transmission de The 7 Cricket has added to be ""conducive to the liberalization of soft drugs, but it is not a point contained in the government contract and at the time it is not even a topic that is being discussed in Parliament,"" stressing then be favorable to cannabis.

After years of declining vaccination coverage, we have reversed course thanks to the law Lorenzin, but we can not lower our guard. The objective of the elimination of the obligation is shared by all, but you have to get there with a vaccination coverage satisfactory in all of Italy”.

And launched a provocation: ""Why are you filled with aspirin, acetaminophen, and other medicines, while you are wary about vaccines? Doctors are no longer able to recognize diseases such as measles, because for years they see a case. The last time we had one there was the line of university lane to see and learn. But not only that for diseases like diphtheria, there is no more care.

Professor, then she shares the alarm of the minister Beatrice Lorenzin? One-hundred percent. There is an epidemic of measles in the course. There are many cases in Romania. And look at that measles is not a disease simple. How to convince a parent of the importance of vaccinating their children? Should see what we see in the hospital. Measles can lead encephalitis, and if you're in front of a child with encephalitis will feel the frost inside. Which is worse, of meningitis, of which they all speak. And then with the measles there are also fatal cases of pneumonia. Not to mention the panencefalite sclerosing subacute... You know what? No... it's A disease and very fatal that you can start with the measles. And that manifests itself ten years later. There are those who argue that the vaccine is dangerous... let's Talk about data: the vaccine, but a hypothesis is practically theoretical, can cause complications once every hundred thousand. Measles has complications in one case in every thousand. A hundred times more. Now I would like to ask a question to parents who do not make the vaccines to their children: why would you want to expose them to an unnecessary risk and sometimes deadly? The decline of the vaccines has already had consequences obvious? We have now reached a vaccination coverage of around 90 percent. Under the 95 ceases the so-called herd effect, i.e. the protection offered to individuals by the immunity is widespread. Because there are people that the vaccine can not do this. Other children on which has no effect. But they are protected because all of the people around them are vaccinated. Those who can not get vaccinated? For example, there are very young children who do the chemotherapy for the leukemia. Behold, those who refuse vaccines endangers their health. You should not get vaccinated only for themselves, but also a social duty. I know that it is an expression now out of fashion. Today everyone is talking about the vaccine against meningitis. You hear conflicting opinions. Would you go for? Yes. Perhaps I am influenced by what I observe in my department, but I assure you that you would agree if you saw children suffering from diseases that we might as well avoid. For what should one be vaccinated? I tell you what I would do to my children: measles, varicella, rubella, mumps, hepatitis A and B, meningococcal, pneumococcal, and chromium. Look at that, even a disease seemingly innocuous as the chicken pox can lead to complications very serious. And then, now if we vaccinate the most, will be the adults of tomorrow to take the measles. That on the men and the women is even more insidious. But there is another question that I would like to make I to the readers... Please... Tell me why you take without flinching handfuls of aspirin, acetaminophen, anxiolytics, and then you do not accept the vaccines? If not convince the doctor, trust the father: I to my sons, I did all the vaccines.",7053,"italy"

The number of countries that have eliminated in a sustainable manner the measles has in fact regressed. Four european countries – Uk, Greece, Albania and the Czech Republic – are no longer considered free from this infection for the prevention of which there is a vaccine that is effective and inexpensive.

This rate should go up, in spite of the action of movements antivaccins, especially with the inclusion of measles vaccine in the list of mandatory vaccinations for children, as it is the case since the 1 January 2018 in France.

Like when something bad is slammed in the face by the person from whom you least expect it. In addition to the bad thing in itself, there is the disappointment as a journalist you admire, that you've always read with interest, and that “will betray you”. However, as soon as they were clarified the facts, nor gramellini, la stampa, nor all, the Corriere della sera have felt the need to apologize and clarify. The only paper that is adhered to the facts, state the Truth (Sarina Biraghi, 25 June, 2017). The article gramellini, la stampa, it's built entirely on prejudice: the bigotry of anti vax as the cause of the death of an innocent child. Gramellini, la stampa, even speaks of “death sentence” to “the victims of fanaticism.” But what is really odious, because of the completely unfounded, is the accusation implicitly addressed to parents to be “unnatural” or “against-nature”, that is, not to be parents, but people are irresponsible, capable even of sacrificing the children for their ideas insane. Read the article and you will realize. But you can dip the bread in the sensationalism of the instrumental (at the end in support of the decree vaccines), gramellini, la stampa is not only but is in good company: in addition to the one that has spread carelessly in the fake news, that is, the department of Health and Giulio explore the old, that for a little bit of visibility that has forgotten to think before you speak, the more horny they were, the honorable Federico Gelli, head of Health Pd, and the minister Beatrice Lorenzin, as was to be expected. The first has invited us to an “examination of conscience” urging us to “good taste” and to “be silent” (Everyday Health, 22 June 2017), the second one has declared the “close to the parents and to their immense sorrow,” but at the same time it is ventured into a prognosis of the clinical policy (obviously it has titles such as to ones who can afford it) claiming literally that the child had not contracted the measles, “you would probably be saved from leukemia” (QS), 22 June 2017). But the prognosis of Lorenzin, the thing that leaves us all puzzled is that, as is evident in the story of the Corriere della sera (19 may 2017), the minister was aware of the case and who presumably knew that the child had not been infected by the younger siblings are not vaccinated. But if so why not consider to clarify the reality of things? As can be close to the pain of the parents and at the same time not defend them from an accusation so shameful? The small, then, was infected in the hospital, but as it happened? In the web I found a post signed by Annalia Martinelli, who claims to be a person informed of the facts, and tells that the child was in the hospital in April and has contracted the measles because there are not beds free suitable to his disease, “they put it between the infectious”. Ms. Martinelli also refers to the baby has taken only the measles, but also a case of pneumonia with associated pleural effusion. I do not know if this reconstruction is true, but if it were not the parents but the hospital would have exposed the child to the contagion, which would fit the story in yet another case of “medical malpractice”. You want to talk about “herd effect”! I hope that you will shine a light on this ugly story, but who should do it? The competent Ministry? The Department of Health of the Lombardy region?

"5331","The first three cases of measles in Mexico (the country that has eradicated the disease in 1996), 2018 are Italian. It is the Ministry of Health mexican in a note published yesterday, where the news of the identification of three cases of infection with measles. Confirmation of this is the System Nacional de Vigilancia Epidemiológica (SINAVE), which is to know that the three people infected by the disease in Mexico had been declared eliminated in twenty-two years ago, are of Italian origin. The suspicion is that the disease has been “imported” from our Country, where the 5.004 registered cases in 2017, to be added to the 164 reported from 1 to 31 January 2018. Three cases of measles in mexico City, Mexico The Minister of Health, the mexican has confirmed that in Mexico City were identified three cases of measles. To have contracted the disease are a woman of 39 years old, of Italian origin, who lived in Mexico City since 2007, the son of the woman, of less than one year of age, which then had not yet been vaccinated because the vaccination is made to a different age from the present one). The third case corresponds to another woman and 48 years old who takes care of the child. The analysis of the Instituto de Diagnóstico y Reference Epidemiológico (InDRE) have established that it is measles and at the time they were three asymptomatic cases. From the moment it is not clear how it happened in the infection. What is certain, writes the Ministry, is that it is definitely a case of “import” or “associated with importation of the virus by virtue of the total disappearance of the measles in the central american country in recent years. According to what is written in the local media, the secretary of Health Pablo Kuri Morales explained that in Italy have been registered numerous cases of the measles in the course of the last year and from the moment that the mother of the child works at the Italian Embassy in Mexico is likely to have contracted the measles after coming in contact with the Italian citizens. The last case of indigenous measles registered in Mexico dates back to 1995. In the period between 1996 and 2017 have been reported 176 cases, all classified as cases of “import”. The Organización Panamericana de la Salud (OPS), has confirmed three cases of measles in Mexico City are considered to be due to importation of the virus by a person of foreign origin. The Ministry of Health informs that the circulation of the Measles virus in the Country was stopped due to the effectiveness of the national system of vaccination (the scheme of immunization mexican is one of the most comprehensive in the world). Mexico the vaccine against measles but also against other diseases) is required. If it works there, why shouldn't it work in Italy?",6737,"italy"
"7641","For German children, and a vaccination against measles is mandatory. Starting in march of 2020, all children should have the injection before using it for the first time, go to school or daycare, so that was decided-the German cabinet on Wednesday. Parents who are in the call result in a fine of up to € 2,500. Their child may also be denied to a school or day care, says Der Spiegel. Also, for staff, schools, parents, human resources for health, and the staff in the camps, the vaccination is compulsory. The children, who all go to school, and if the law for next year is to have more time for the medication to reach it no later than July 31, 2021, a proof of vaccination to the show. A doctor's note stating that they are already in the center have had to count as well. ""We want to have as many children as possible from a mazeleninfectie"", stressed the minister of Health, Jens Spahn (CDU) out. In Germany last year, 543 mazelengevallen have been reported. In the first nine months of this year, there were more than a hundred. 2017 had, owns 97.1 per cent of German school kids on their first mazelenprik, and 92,8 per cent, the second vaccination. In order to have the virus under control and to have a coverage of at least 95 percent is needed, according to the world health organization (WHO). In the Netherlands, the mazeleninenting is not required. Rate varies by region, but is, on average, approximately 92 percent of the time.",6718,"netherlands"
"3451","After the criticism of the world health organization (WHO) to Impfgegnern a new push for a mandatory vaccination in Germany comes from the SPD-health politician Karl Lauterbach. ""I am in favour of when such a dangerous disease like the measles is a vaccination,"" said Lauterbach of the newspaper ""The world"" from the Monday. He will advertise for the Federal Minister of health, Jens Spahn (CDU) for a new discussion on the need for a mandatory vaccination, ""as the previous campaigns for voluntary vaccination, as not sufficiently have proved"". The WHO had declared opponents to one of the ten largest global threats. The reason is that medically possible eradication of measles will be prevented by the in the industrialized countries, widespread refusal of vaccination. From the point of view of the WHO experts from Impfgegnern a similar large risk to global health, such as Ebola, antibiotic resistance and air pollution. Vaccinations annually two to three million deaths prevent according to the WHO. Significant increase of measles cases in Europe, the measles should be eradicated by 2020. In recent years, the number of infections has risen by up to 30 percent, is critical of the WHO. Also in Europe, there was a significant increase: In the year 2018, infected, alone, in the first half of the year already up to 41,000 children and adults. In 2017, it was 23.927 Affected, 2016 5273 people sick. In Germany, too, there are always outbreaks, annual case numbers vary considerably. In the year 2017, for example, 929 measles cases were reported in 2016, only 325. To prevent outbreaks that would need to be immunized 95 percent of the population. But in Germany, this quota is not met in all age groups. MEASLES fact check the myths of the opponents opponents would put ""in an irresponsible manner, the health of very many people"" in the game, criticized Lauterbach. The measles were a dangerous disease and could continue to spread if the vaccination rates would not be increased. What is the vaccination brings? Restrained, the health expressed a political spokeswoman of the parliamentary group, Karin Maag (CDU). Although she, too, sees opponents as ""a major health risk"". But before it could be discussed in Germany, a vaccination, it must be examined what are the experiences in Italy and France were made after the local introduction of a vaccination for measles. ""If it turns out that the two countries have successes through vaccination, we should also discuss in Germany about a vaccination,"" said Maag. The Union expert at the same time expressed concerns. Short or long term, a statutory mandatory vaccination would land before the Federal constitutional court, said Maag. For the prevention of measles, a lot has already been done. So unvaccinated children should be excluded for a time from the daycare to visit and parents would have to pay in the case of a refusal of the vaccination advice high fines. Also, the Greens are faced with a mandatory vaccination negative. In the view of health expert, Kordula Schulz-ash must be placed on consultation rather than on compulsion and sanctions. Why measles is so dangerous About a compulsory vaccination was discussed in Germany already repeatedly, especially after regional severe measles outbreaks. While pediatricians have been demanding for a longer a compulsory vaccination, the Federal government, yet skeptical. Spahn himself had rejected a few years ago, at the time, as CDU health expert, a mandatory vaccination in General. Measles are extremely contagious. The causative viruses are transmitted when Talking, coughing or Sneezing, on tiny droplets in the air. The disease starts with flu-like symptoms and later a characteristic rash accompanied by skin. The infection weakens the immune system immensely, other infections are therefore a common consequence. A dreaded risk of an inflammation of the brain, the so-called measles encephalitis that can be fatal or with permanent damage is. As a late result of measles infection is an inflammation of the nerve cells of the brain and of the spinal cord may form also after years of a so-called subacute sclerosing Panencephalitis (SSPE),. It leads to the failure of brain functions and finally to death. In the Video: The bizarre world of German opponents",6711,"germany"

NOT SPREAD to the Republic: “:...Neither the patient of six years, nor his brothers had been vaccinated for the choice of the family. The department of Health: “it is the example of how the so-called immunity of the flock is fundamental for the protection of those who are weaker”. The NINETEENTH century “....Because the child, coming from an Italian family who by choice did not want to vaccinate any of their children, they did not make it and died”. The State tv there to tv news. Think about it: the child was only sick with “acute lymphoblastic leukemia, a disease that today has a chance of healing in more than 85% of the cases with similar forms”. The media have reported with great participation “in the agony” of the minister of health, Beatrice Lorenzin. “It was a heartrending story, I was following this story for a month now, ...was recovering from leukemia, that we would be saved from leukemia, died of the measles”. All the media covered, they nailed the parents as the culprits: they are part of that group an enemy of the people and the health of the public, who does not want to vaccinate their children – and here is the result: they killed their son. The science was recovering from leukemia (what do we want? A disease from nothing) and their, for the stubbornness of not wanting to obey the Minister, the han did die of measles (the measles, this is worse than leukemia). You had to read between the lines to guess that the journalists of the regime, of the family that accused him of murder in front of the whole country, they knew nothing. The reporter of the Courier: ""There is great privacy on the mom and the dad of the child who died [translate: we don't know the name, we journalists]..this Is for sure a couple in milan, probably one of those ""No Vax"". Certain milanese, probably No-Vax”. But what does it matter? Matter report of the heartbreaking participation of the minister: “it Was last may, when the minister Lorenzin had listened to the anguished, desperate chronicle of the child directly by Andrea Biondi, the physician who has personally followed this case. the minister of Health had assured the intention to go even more forward in the campaign to raise awareness about vaccines and against anyone who thwarts them”. So this was the example to use for “carry forward” campaign, “the campaign against the No_VAx”. Some time ago this family, must have practically forced the said doctor to say: “Professor, the small may have contracted the measles from the brothers? “No responsibility of brothers and sisters because these children have contracted the measles about ten days after him. At this time load the parents of the responsibility for the death of his own child for not having vaccinated their other children is a disgrace”. You can determine with accuracy how and where the small, having contracted the infectious disease? “No, scientifically it is not possible: after the intensive care the children are normal life, go to school and meet friends, and in recent months there has been a veritable epidemic of measles, highly contagious disease” This he says, finally, The Day, the Chronicle Monza-Brianza. That is to say in the pages of local, not national. The news was false. The child has not been infected by the brothers that have not been vaccinated, because they have the contract and AFTER him, probably by him. The child died of leukemia and its complications, obvious, and predictable in a immmunosprresso ( also from “therapy”). The correction will not appear in the first pages and will not open the news, that instead they yelled and fired the falsehood to the securities box. Indeed, even more: the news has been voluntarily distorted, an invention designed in particular for ideological reasons. In the context of the “campaign” of the Ministry of State “ against” the parents who object against the 12 vaccinations to infants. The State TV gave prominence to the false news in this ideological purpose. To blame a category of citizens and demonizzarne the topics, rather than discuss them.

The data are from the Survey of Infection in the National (NSI), 2015-2016, was developed by the National Institute of Health Dr. Ricardo Jorge (INSA), which was attended by 4.866 people, and that it has to update to the latest survey, relating to 2001-2002. The journalist, Sara de Rocha, explains that the findings of the investigation on the immunity from 00:00 to 00:00 On the last survey, the seroprevalence for measles virus, was 95.2%, but the current one points to 94.2% of individuals immune to the disease. ""This is a value that is less than 95%, the proportion of hiv-infected individuals [in contact with the infectious agent] is required to cause an immunity in respect of the group', which is a side effect of the vaccination is that it protects the vaccinated, but also those who did not receive the vaccine, as it reduces the movement of the agent and the transmission of the infection. The proportion of immune, is it not the same in all the age groups. The document states that ""the immunity of the group, it was found overall for both male and female children between the ages of two and nine years old, and in adults over the age of 44 years, which corresponds to the subjects who received VASPR [combined vaccine against measles, mumps epidemic, and the disease], and those who have developed natural immunity"". In the age groups of between two and four years and five to nine years, and the immunity of the group, it is not uniform by region, and sex, ""and is less than 95% in some groups, male or female, in the Central and the Autonomous Region of the Azores"". The protection is lower in persons aged 15 to 29 years of age (90%), reaching 88,2% of those between the ages of 15 and 19 years old, and 77,9% for the range of between 20 and 29 years of age. According to the authors, ""the proportion of susceptible individuals in these age groups may be due to the fact that they have been vaccinated with different strains of vaccine, or by a decline in antibodies over time, which can occur after vaccination.

He has remembered this Saturday, the department that directs María Luisa Carcedo after this Friday sources of Health asserted, wrongly, that they advised the vaccine to those born before 1970. Health agree well with the recommendation of the Spanish Society of Epidemiology about who should be vaccinated who are between 40 and 50 years if you are not sure you have received the two required doses of the vaccine or have not had measles. This protocol Spanish on vaccination for those born since 1970 could be added to other measures since they are currently in the Public Health Commission of the Ministry is discussing with the communities to implement the Plan of prevention against measles with other new. It just so happens that this week has been known a report based on the data of the 53 countries that make up the european area of the who notes that four countries have lost the status of having eradicated the disease (United Kingdom, Albania, Czech Republic and Greece), while two others (Austria and Switzerland) have reached.

"1406","Prague is experiencing a measles epidemic. Faculty hospital Motol, had to because of the prevalence of infection to close the urgent income. Last year there was a measles epidemic in the Region. Vaccination of the population against measles in addition, from year to year decreases. We have to get used to the presence of an infectious disease that is with us for several decades almost new? The latest news about the development of the ongoing epidemic of measles in Prague are not exactly encouraging. The largest medical facility in the Czech republic, University hospital Motol, had to close the inpatient part of the emergency revenue, because it is necessary to insulate staff after contact with measles. One of the virus, and others who had contact with him, must in isolation. Problems must also address the Medical emergency service of the city of Prague, because of contact with measles is now isolated 18 workers. Just for the record, vaccination against measles is not for medical professionals mandatory and it is up to their decisions whether, where appropriate, they'll (re)vaccinate or not. The only exceptions are workers on infectious and venerologických departments. The details of the situation in the Faculty hospital Motol you can find here. The Czech republic currently registers 88 cases infected with measles, of which 59 falls right on the Doorstep. In addition, you can expect to appear more ill. Just because measles is highly infectious and the necessary protection in the form of vaccination with two doses of the vaccination still has less people. Does this mean that we should accept the return of the disease, which in the Czech republic almost new? The reasons why are the measles back, it is several. From the ignorance of the public about what this infection is caused and how serious it can be, despite the steady decline in vaccination coverage of the population or the spread of myths about the vaccination itself, until after the fact, that the Czech state too does not work with how to increase the health literacy of the population. Measles are not a ""common childhood disease"" the Fact that measles in recent years have been very rare, also means that many people under this sign is not able to equip anything more concrete. Often they believe that this is ""normal childhood illness"", which is a better experience. The source of these false information, among other civic associations Rozalio, which on its web site alleges, inter alia, that ""more than 85 percent of children, in whom complications arise in diseases of the measles, has a total inadequate nutritional status and poor social conditions"". The idea is just about the children care enough, and measles for them will not be dangerous, however, is odd. Measles not a trivial disease. From the point of view of statistics European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control: If you get sick of 100 people, then in seven to nine pediatric patients appear infections of the ears, which can lead, and loss of hearing, and for one to six patients will have pneumonia, which is the most common cause of death in young children. At one of the 1000 patients the infection attacks the brain and develops encephalitis, which can lead to irreversible mental damage to the child. One of the 1000 patients then due to infection measles will die. In addition, may develop a very serious complication known as subacute sclerosing panencephalitis, in which the spalničkový virus slowly attacks the central nervous system of the child, until eventually death occurs. This disease, when the virus after a previous infection reactivates, it is incurable and the vast majority of patients die within three years from the manifestation of the disease. If got measles infant, the incidence of this complication 1:600 patients. In more detail to subacute sclerosing panencefalitidě here. The most vulnerable group are newborns and infants, who due to their age cannot yet be vaccinated: ""In this group is far more likely difficult course in the sense of encephalitis. It also means an increased risk of acquired disability, such as deafness or disability of the central nervous system,“ describes the Lumír Kantor, chief of the Neonatal department of the University hospital in Olomouc and also a member of the committee of the Czech neonatology society ČLS JEP. However, statistics are for the number of people too impersonal. Personal experience with measles should even british writer Roald Dahl, who gave the world books like Charlie and the chocolate factory, the Giant Good or maybe Fantastic mr. Fox. ""It is not yet generally accepted that measles is a dangerous disease. Believe me, they are. In my opinion, parents who refuse their children vaccinated, endangering the lives of their children,“ he was convinced the writer, whose seven-year-old daughter Olivia died of measles. It happened in 1962. The measles vaccine was patented a year later. Across the board then against this infectious disease began to vaccinate at the end of the sixties. More here. But back to Czech today. Last year, measles sickened according to the data of the National institute of health 146 people, when the vast majority of cases occurred during the epidemic of measles in the Region. From February to June 2017 was at the Clinic of infectious medicine hospitalized because of this infection of the 95 patients, of which 38 children aged from 3 months to 16 years. ""The average period of hospitalization was 5,4 days (3-11 days) in the intensive care unit were hospitalized 8 children (21 percent). The most common complications were gastroenteritis (13 percent) and pneumonia (10 percent). Pneumonia were severe with the necessity of oxygen therapy. Infusion rehydration was required in 50 percent of children, antibiotics for bacterial superinfection was made in 34 percent of children,“ notes the article Measles in childhood – the experience of the epidemic in the Region in the year 2017, which was recently published in the professional journal of the Czech-Slovak pediatrics. Of these 38 hospitalized children against measles has not been vaccinated 34. All eight children who had to be admitted to the intensive care unit, has not been vaccinated. The article simultaneously notes that the course of the disease was in vaccinated children mild and often the disease was diagnosed on the basis of the epidemiological context. ""The epidemic in the Region confirmed the lasting severity of measles even in the present,"" summarizes the scholarly text. Vaccination against measles works, but it required a 95 percent vaccination coverage Is the fact that measles is a serious infectious disease associated with a number of complications, is the reason, why against them seeded. Measles in addition, there is no cure, it is possible to treat only the symptoms of the disease. The actual vaccination in the Czech republic carried out since 1969, however needed two doses of the vaccine are served from 1975. Part of adults against measles in childhood have not been vaccinated at all, or inadequately, or disease lost. In addition, after several tens of years the effect of the vaccination ""will all blow over"", then fades. But was the situation in the Czech republic quite good. ""High vaccination coverage of the population against measles, which was in the Czech republic after many years of being made, yet allow it to maintain the status of a country with an interrupted spread of disease,"" summed up the National institute of public health in last year's report Measles – importance of the disease and the current situation in Europe. Unfortunately in 2015 for the first time decreased vaccination coverage with two doses of the vaccine in the Czech republic under the critical threshold of 95 percent, in particular, was 93,46 percent. ""The unfavorable epidemiological situation in Europe in the decreasing level of vaccination coverage of the Czech population could lead to a re-increase in the diseases of measles in the CZECH republic,"" warned the report. According to the information of the ministry of health is currently the vaccination coverage of the Czech population around 90 percent. Hygienic station of the capital city of Prague, however, presents even more pessimistic numbers. For children born in 2010, vaccination coverage with two doses of 88.7 percent, in the year of 2011 to 80.3 per cent and in the year 2012 even just 73,6 percent. ""Measles is among the most contagious infection. It spreads very easily by air. The transmission occurs by droplets or immediately contaminated objects rarely spread in the air. To the spread of the disease both supported and unvaccinated persons. Ideal for the achievement of collective immunity is at least 95 percent vaccination coverage with two doses of the vaccine against measles. Falls-if the vaccination coverage and to the accumulation of unvaccinated persons in a particular team or region, arise suitable conditions for the spread of measles virus in the population,“ says the chief hygienist of the CZECH republic Eva Gottvaldová. We are now in a situation where measles have sufficiently good conditions to spread. The decline in vaccination rates is something experienced by other european countries, which are faced with the epidemics of measles. According to data of the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control in Europe between the beginning of march 2017 and the end of February 2018 sickened measles 14 813 persons. Of 35 percent of the patients accounted for children under the age of five years. If it was in patients known vaccination status, so 86 percent of the cases were in unvaccinated persons. ""To achieve elimination of the disease and protect those who are most at risk of complications of measles, including possible deaths, as are infants, it is necessary to achieve and maintain coverage of 95 percentage of the population vaccinated with two doses,"" says the ECDC. But vaccination coverage of the population is below this critical threshold in 22 of the 29 european states. The situation has gone so far that the american office of the Centres for Diseases Control and Prevention recommends that U.S. citizens who measles lost, or were in childhood enough vaccination to get before traveling to Europe inoculation. In more detail here. Lies about vaccination spread and the state is ignoring But there is a fundamental problem on the side of the Czech state. Vaccination of children against measles is mandatory, but the work of government agencies more or less ends. A number of parents so lacking quality and verified information about it, why should they let their children vaccinated. The minute you start digging yourself on the internet, crashes often on a complete lie. An example may be the facebook profile of the civic association Rozalio. This year in April to share the article ""Vaccination: Autism, allergies, ADHD? The new study, side effects“, which, inter alia, puts into context the occurrence of allergies, learning disorders, ADHD and other neurovývojové disorders with vaccination. Commonly then the opponents of vaccination spread repeatedly disproven lie that vaccination causes autism. Also, the Company of patients with sequelae following vaccination led homeopatem Vaclav Hrabákem, which offers, among other things, in his homeopathic practice, ""detoxification after vaccination"", encourages parents to spread their stories of the ""damage after vaccinations"", and simultaneously created a ""list of side effects of vaccines, to which it is necessary to think, which unfortunately are not listed in the official sources"". ""We believe that this approach will change and the difficulties referred to above begin to be considered as possible consequences of vaccination,"" reported on its web site, saying that among the side effects of vaccination also include autism and death. More here. Even therefore, yourself vaccinating doctors are in a situation where hardly refutes various myths about the vaccination. ""In general we definitely are missing the greater share of the state in education and greater support for physicians who get vaccinated. Several years ago, the government approved and parliament the document Health 2020. Even with our participation, was elaborated a plan of action to support vaccination, but he was not yet implemented,“ summarizes Alena Šebková, president of the Professional society of the practice of pediatric surgeons ČLS JEP. The ministry has, at least, their website and also a professional company involved in the EAA on the issue of certain educational materials. ""If my memory goes back, the current minister of health is the first, who publicly for vaccination built, the current deputy minister of health is highly erudite vaccinologist. So perhaps, even in the context of the reform of primary care, the situation will improve,“ he hopes. In the context of the current epidemics of measles in Prague, then the ministry has issued a press release in which, inter alia, says: ""the Ministry of health about the importance of vaccination the public shall keep, in particular through its website and the media. With the aim to transmit to the public the maximum information works ministry in cooperation with professional companies in the formation of a special portal for patients, which will, inter alia, dedicated also to education and information about vaccination. The ministry also encourages medical practitioners to their patients actively about vaccination informed and they tried to refute the myths, which in the Czech society are circulating.“ But in this respect it is years happened almost nothing. More about the inaction of the National institute of health in the field of education about the vaccination here. However, in recent weeks, at least about measles access the EAA begins to change and the authority on its website about the infection informs. In the long term on the fact, that the source of high-quality and verified information is missing, highlights the Association of innovative pharmaceutical industry. The 2016 created in collaboration with professor Roman Chlíbkem, scientific secretary of the Czech vakcinologické society ČLS JEP, brochure Myths and untruths associated with the vaccination, which is available as a free download. ""The fear of the vaccine starts out with some of the people prevail over the fear of your own disease against which the vaccination protects. Such people place information about the importance and the benefits of vaccination are watching the publicly available resources and on the social networks of arguments supporting the the fear and concern of the safety of vaccinations. These arguments are often supported by fake, rumor, repeatedly over and over again intentionally distributed the myths, untruths and nevědeckými views,“ summarize the content of a brochure website PROVIDING, according to which there is loss of awareness and fear of the consequences of infectious diseases on the negative side of the success of vaccination. PROVIDING, bringing together pharmaceutical companies, i.e. private entities, so in this respect it replaces the role of the state. As well as the state, i.e. ministry of health or National institute of public health, which is directly in the description of work to devote to increasing the health literacy of the population, two years ago, they remained silent. Then spread the information, that the death of a toddler on the Region is due to the vaccination. In more detail here. Just explaining the false information then, according to Alena Šebkové occupies the pediatricians in the office quite a few time: ""Education lies in the often endless conversations with parents and fighting with the stupid ""arguments"" and rumors."" Vaccination of adults is not on the agenda of the General paediatric doctors is so they regularly get into an unenviable situation. Most of the responsibility for it, how will the parents about the vaccination edukováni, lies on them. In the case that the parents of the vaccination completely refuse, they can't do much about it. ""The doctor, the parents must learn, in case of refusal they must sign the so-called negative reverse. Now very much under discussion, whether or not, may or may not be the doctor notify social services of suspected neglect of a child. Legal interpretations are different. What is clear is the obligation to communicate relevant information to public health authorities, at their request,“ adds Alena Šebková for the professional company. However, when the editors of a Medical journal has repeatedly asked at the press department of the ministry of health on how he wants the state to parents to motivate, educate and, where appropriate, punish the parents make their decision changed, we got only this answer: ""Vaccination against measles in the Czech republic is part of the vaccination calendar and is for children mandatory. The first dose is given soon as the first day of the thirteenth month after the child's birth, but no later than the completion of the eighteenth month of the child's age. Administration of the second dose of vaccine against measles, mumps, and rubella is carried out from the completion of the fifth year of the age of the child up to the age of the sixth year of the age of the child.“ Purely theoretically, would the (re)vaccination against measles should consider the adults who were vaccinated in childhood only one dose. However, it is not their duty, and even then, if it is a medical professionals. The only exceptions are the personnel of infectious and venerologických department. The across-the-board vaccinations of adults, the ministry of health not considered. If one is not sure whether it is sufficiently protected, it has the opportunity to get tested, whether antibodies against the virus. ""The examination of IgG antibodies against measles virus can be done at any virological laboratory and at his own request. This examination is not reimbursed from public health insurance and his price is around 400 Czk. In the case of negativity of IgG antibodies can subsequently carry out immunization combined vaccine. Monovakcína against the measles virus is not available,“ according to the EAA on their web site. The very vaccination against measles could be something that would not be needed. ""It is a strange paradox that at a time when we have available an effective vaccine and we were close to the eradication of measles, which would subsequently lead to the fact that it would be possible to cancel the inoculations against them, we stand face to face recurrent epidemics of infectious diseases,"" said last year associate professor Rastislav Hungarian, president of the Forum of infectious, tropical and travel medicine and expert guarantor of the networks of Centres of vaccination and travel medicine Avenier. ""Opponents of vaccination are calling for it to vaccinate as little as possible, which would indeed, in the case of measles, it was possible to achieve, if managed to maintain a sufficiently high vaccination coverage and measles would have ceased to exist. His intimidation but they achieve the opposite, and therefore, developed countries like Austria or Germany have a case of measles bigger problems than Honduras or Guatemala, where there is a high enough vaccination rates,“ he added.

"61107","The disgraced British former doctor who became the face of the anti-vaccine movement has claimed vaccines have made measles ""a more dangerous disease"", as he fundraises for a second film targeting the HPV vaccine.  Andrew Wakefield made a rare public appearance in Chicago on Sunday during which he claimed the country faced an imminent crisis because vaccinations have created a mutant strain of the virus.  ""There are two elements to this problem,"" he told an audience at an autism conference. ""One is that the measles vaccine is itself causing measles and the second is that the measles vaccine is not producing immunity that protects either against natural measles or the vaccine-induced measles.""  Mr Wakefield co-authored a 1998 paper suggesting a possible link between the MMR vaccine and autism. Ten of the report's co-authors have since retracted the paper’s assertions after an investigation found that it relied on bogus data although Mr Wakefield repeatedly denied any wrongdoing and declined to retract the paper’s findings.  The inquiry uncovered financial and ethical conflicts of interest which led to him being struck off the British medical register in 2010. He later relocated to America, where he has continued to promote his views and become something of a cause célebre among anti-vaccine groups in the country.",6489,"uk"
"5333","It was only a matter of time, and now we have confirmation: the measles is a global epidemic, with a percentage of infected people rose by more than 30% in 2017. This was revealed in a new report from the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the americans, that in fact confirms what the epidemiologists were announcing for some time: if it is true that it takes two doses of vaccine to be protected for life by the infection, which can have serious complications, however, requires that at least 95% of the population is vaccinated, to ensure that everyone - even those who may not immunize itself because they are too young, or immunedepressed - it is protected. Under the threshold. This 95% must be uniform: the immunity of the flock does not work if in some areas it has a total coverage, and in the other 90%. In any case, in the last 10 years, we have struggled to reach 85% coverage with the first dose of the vaccine, while with the second we arrived just 67%. In 2017, almost 21 million children received the first dose of the vaccine, and now the Americas, the eastern Mediterranean region and Europe are seeing their rates the most dramatic return of the infection: in some areas of the Old Continent is struggling to reach the 70% of the vaccinated. return to the past? With good peace of those who dismiss measles as a simple vent esantematico, prior to 1963, when the vaccine for this disease did not exist, the virus appeared in waves, cyclical, and during periods of maximum spread was arrived to cause 2.6 million deaths a year. The impact of the vaccination campaigns was one of the greatest successes in public health: from 2000 to 2017, the number of cases global fell by 83%, and the lives saved were 21.1 million in all over the world. On the contrary, the gaps in vaccination coverage due to fake news and insufficient funding have contributed to the 110 thousand deaths, that could have been avoided.",6477,"italy"
"5334","Crunches...Instruments that you agree. Weapons, weapons, is back with the measles. Before the 90's the measles was waves of epidemic every four to five years. And so all became secure within the last ten years. Then, with the introduction of vaccination for children, the epidemiology has changed. Today, the virus circulates less, are the most frequent cases among children less than one year and young adults. “When you vaccinate only the children moves forward to the age of the susceptible individuals, those that can be sick. It is a known fact” (Michele, demi lovato, epidemiologist ISS). In 2016, from January to December, there have been 844 cases and 238 only in January 2017. Source ISS here. The orchestra plays for the 844 cases a year and 238 in the month of January. No dead, it must be said, even if a party has suffered from side effects and, in some cases important. A part of the chorus: measles is back because of those who do not vaccinate. L’87-89% of the children are vaccinated against measles, but the duration of protection for adults not much is known. More than half of those who contracted the disease recently has from 15 to 40 years. Of the few cases analyzed in January, 12% had been vaccinated one or more times (another 7% do not know anything about). It is known, from previous studies, that about 5% of vaccinated not immunized. The protection provided by the disease, however, continues throughout life. It is very difficult, today, to be able to calculate the effective protection in the various layers of the population. It could be protected to 30% or 40% or 60%, nobody knows, because we don't bother to check if the immunization is present or has occurred. However, the disease appears in waves, on average, every five years. Infants who are born to mothers vaccinated receive a protective antibody titer lower. So, even the small ones, are slightly less protected in the age the most the delicate. And, in fact, are also increased cases of measles under one year of age (the vaccine is at 15 months). The top brass do not believe that the few children not vaccinated (11-13%) have transparency, that are sick and may infect both children of the same age previously vaccinated (???) that those who can not be vaccinated. Some soprano: the non-vaccinated bring down the immunity of the flock, and they will get back all diseases. Not only that, it is their fault even if the leukemic get some terrible infection until she died. We know that no one has ever checked how much of the population is effectively immunized, naturally or due to the vaccine, then you do not know the percentage of the immunity of the flock from measles, especially among twenty-somethings-forty-year-olds who have not contracted the disease. Also, it is much easier – unfortunately – that leukaemia patients could contract the measles from the person who just made the vaccination a live virus, for example from’ 87-89% of the children. (Source: Asl, the package insert for the vaccine (on page 8) and the law 210/92 art. 4 which provides for the compensation of unvaccinated individuals who have infection with vaccinated subjects). Crescendo of trumpets and wind instruments: the children are not vaccinated should be banned to the asylum, it should be forbidden to the asylum, it should be forbidden to the asylum... And adults (not vaccinated)? No work? But then also no tax? Other wind instruments: “without obligations, people do not understand”, and plans to approve in the Municipalities and in the Regions, measures punitive. For example, in the Veneto region has been proposed to pay for the damages of diseases (?) to families that do not vaccinate. Reaching the summit of the absurd, to the damaged by the vaccine will not receive a cent! Families uncomfortable and unfortunate that after a vaccination are precipitated into hell, have been paid with a document that shows that adverse events do not exist. The end of the discussion. (Document Fnomceo, July 2016). The Flauto dolce. We have seen here that as long as the national law remains in force will not prevent access to asylum (even if they are approved the regulations for municipal and regional), it is sufficient that between the schools and the Asl there is a report of non-vaccination.

"62107","The Samoan capital became a “ghost town” as families were told to stay indoors and leave red flags outside their houses to request vaccinations amid a measles outbreak that has killed 62 people, which UN officials say has been exacerbated by anti-vaxxers in developed countries.  The government initiated a nationwide, two-day shutdown on Thursday, telling workers to stay at home, closing schools and blocking off roads to all non-essential vehicles.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) blamed a digital anti-vaccination campaign for the crisis.  Mr Yett said the deadly disinformation came mainly from overseas, and urged those from Australia, the US and other wealthy developed nations posting the false material to realise they were passing a “death sentence” to children in developed nations.  “Unfortunately it’s found a ready audience in Samoa, where some people are suspicious about the quality of healthcare and may have issues with local [vaccine] providers.”  Before the outbreak, immunisation rates on the island had dropped to around 30 per cent, WHO data shows – well below the accepted practice of 90 per cent.  According to the government, more than 4,000 people have now contracted the disease. 172 people remain in hospitals, including 19 children in critical condition.

Prime minister Tuilaepa Sailele Malielegaoi told reporters the vaccine drive was unprecedented in the nation’s history and explained that – despite 58,000 people being immunised since the emergency was declared – an often indifferent public reaction to previous vaccination drives made the two-day shutdown necessary.  “They seem to take a kind of lackadaisical attitude to all the warnings that we had issued through the television and also through the radio,” he said.  Under the government’s orders, the normally bustling capital Apia was a ghost town on Thursday, with only birds nesting in the rooftops and stray dogs roaming the streets, the Samoa Observer newspaper reported.  The prime minister said another challenge was that citizens had been seeking help from traditional healers, who had been successfully treating tropical diseases in Samoa for some 4,000 years.  “Some of our people pay a visit to traditional healers thinking that measles is a typical tropical disease, which it is not,” he said.  The country has seen a rise in fake cures being peddled since the outbreak began, such as vitamin products or alkaline water. They are often sold online and by alternative “healers”.  The low immunisation rate can also be partially attributed to the deaths of two children in July 2018, according to the BBC.  Both died on the same day after receiving vaccinations for measles, mumps and rubella (MMR), prompting public concern about the vaccine.  It later transpired the nurses had mixed the vaccine with an out-of date muscle relaxant instead of water, and both were sentenced to five years in prison after pleading guilty to manslaughter.  “But the fact that you had two children die on the same day in the same institution, obviously caused a great deal of distrust towards the health system and towards vaccinations,” Mr Yett told the BBC.  “It provided the perfect opening for people who wanted to spread misinformation and lies.”  In the wake of the incident, anti-vaxxers stepped up efforts to push their agenda online, Mr Yett said.  The activists have also hindered efforts to control the recent outbreak, with AFP reporting that one prominent Australian-based blogger last week compared compulsory vaccinations to Nazi Germany, saying “fascism is well and truly alive in Samoa”.  Globally, the number of measles cases grew by four times more in the first quarter of 2019 than in the same period last year, according to the WHO.  In 2016, the number of measles deaths was at a record low of 89,780, having dramatically reduced since 1990, when the disease took 872,000 lives, WHO data shows.  But in 2017, deaths caused by the virus rose – for the first time in years – by 20 per cent.  While the annual figures for 2018 and 2019 have not yet been announced, the number of global cases rose four times faster in the first quarter of 2019 than over the same period in 2018, suggesting no sign of a let-up.

"5336","In Germany you don't mess with the measles. Jens Spahn, the young minister of Health, government, Merkel, with his last law proposal has sparked an endless debate in the federal Republic: not only the obligation of the vaccination of children against measles, but a fine of up to 2,500 euros for those who obstinately refuses to submit to you and the children. Not only that, the reluctantly, meaning that their children will not enter school until you will be put in the rule. The new legislation would enter into force starting from march 2020, as explained a few days ago the same Spahn to Bild. “The campaigns and the good appeals to the eradication of the disease”, explained the minister. And to clarify the concept, he added, with the ratio of the super-fine: “Who is in a stubborn and long-lasting refuses, in spite of many invitations in this sense, to fulfill such a duty, should be treated differently from those who simply if it is forgotten. It's like in traffic: when you exceed the speed limit and endanger other people, you pay a fine”. Probably, adds, and hopes Spahn, this sanction will be applied rarely because, “after the first appeals to the most people accept the vaccine.” According to a research of the ministry of Health, the requirement of vaccination would be about 600 thousand people in Germany, and will be applied primarily in kindergartens, schools, for those who work in hospitals or in medical studies. In particular, according to these government estimates, there are about 361 thousand children of the kindergarten and the school are not sufficiently protected against measles, to which should be added about 220 thousand employees of hospitals and doctors ' offices. As writes the Spiegel, the government plans to enact the draft law before the summer break. They say German health authorities, to prevent the spread of the measles virus, you need a rate of vaccination of over 95%, but Germany would be around 7%, the share of those who start the school, not be sufficiently protected. The Robert-Koch-Institut recommends that you vaccinate against measles children within the first two years two times: the first time between 11 and 14 months, the second time within the 15 and 23 months. Doubts the constitutional The Spd, an ally of the government of the Cdu of Frau Merkel, supports explicitly the project Spahn, the Greens are more skeptical. The leading social-democratic, Andrea Nahles, said: “There's a duty of protection. Individual freedom has its limits there, where puts at risk the health of others.” The discussion, however, is not lacking, even among the ranks of the same political parties who support the legislation. The curious thing is that few challenge the concept of the fine. Instead, there are outcrops of the doubt “constitutional” in the words of the minister of Health of Lower Saxony, Carola Reimann, the social-democratic as Nahles: “The obligation of vaccination enters a straight leg in the right to self-determination provided by the Constitution, and therefore require special justification.” In favour of the president of the federal association of doctors, Frank Ulrich Montgomery: “If the rates of vaccination are very high, certain pathogens can be eliminated even at the global level”. Even Angela Merkel has signaled their support of the law proposed by Spahn. But she also wanted to widen the gaze beyond the boundaries of Germany: “it Is necessary that progress in the medical-scientific field reach even the weakest Countries economically because they, too, are achieved by a vaccination more effective.” And the German citizens that they say? It will be a case, but according to the latest polls, particularly among the politicians who have scored the most significant increases in popularity, there are Merkel and Spahn. A symptom even that.

Health Ministry statistics show that 48 of the dead are children below the age of five.  Although measles deaths worldwide have fallen sharply since the 1960s, the World Health Organization has warned of a comeback around the world since 2017.  Samoa's low vaccination rates are in part due to the deaths in 2018 of two children given a wrongly-mixed vaccine.  Measles is a highly contagious illness that causes coughing, rashes and fever.  Although effective and safe vaccination is available, even some developed countries have seen a resurgence in recent years.  The rise is - in part - due to some parents shunning vaccines for philosophical or religious reasons, or concerns, debunked by medical science, that vaccines are linked to autism.  How bad is the Samoa measles outbreak?  On Monday, the Pacific island nation said the overall number of cases stands at 3,728.  The number of new cases recorded on Sunday and Monday alone was 198.  The country, with a population of around 200,000, declared a state of emergency on 20 November.  Most public gatherings have been banned and schools and universities have been closed.  ""The situation has a tremendous impact on everybody,"" Sheldon Yett, Unicef representative to the Pacific, told the BBC.  ""People are nervous, people are seeing the impact of this disease. Samoa is a very small country and everybody knows somebody who's been affected by this.""  Since the emergency declaration last month, a mass vaccination campaign has got under way, with more than 58,000 people successfully vaccinated, the government said.  The epidemic has also seen a surge in alternative medicines touted as cures. Some reports suggest vitamin products or alkalised water are being sold as treatment.  Why is Samoa hit so hard?  Vaccination rates - meaning the number of young children covered - recently dropped to a low of only 31% in Samoa, compared to 99% in nearby Nauru, Niue, and Cook Islands.  In part, that low rate has been attributed to the deaths of two children.  In July 2018, two infants died in Samoa after receiving vaccinations against measles, mumps and rubella, raising local fears over the vaccine itself.  But the deaths were later established to have been due to the nurses mixing the vaccine with an expired muscle relaxant, instead of water.  The two nurses pleaded guilty to manslaughter and were sentenced to five years in prison.

""It provided the perfect opening for people who wanted to spread misinformation and lies.""  'Lies and misinformation'  Aid from the US, New Zealand and Australia is helping local health authorities in Samoa to drive the mass vaccination.  But the key message from the current crisis, said Mr Yett, is that parents should vaccinate their children.  ""People who are spreading lies and misinformation about vaccinations are killing children,"" he said.  ""The best way to keep children safe is to make sure they're immunised. Preventing vaccination and presenting false information kills children. That is clear - the evidence speaks for itself.""  Ideally, every country should have an immunisation level of above 90%, he said.  Samoa's fellow Pacific island nations Tonga and Fiji have also declared states of emergency to tackle their measles outbreaks.  However, both countries have far higher vaccination rates and have so far not reported any deaths.  The global surge  Worldwide, the number of cases quadrupled in the first three months of 2019 compared with the same time last year, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).  Before the introduction of a vaccine in 1963, ""major epidemics occurred approximately every 2-3 years and measles caused an estimated 2.6 million deaths each year"", according to the WHO.  Numbers of measles cases were steadily declining worldwide until three years ago, when the illness saw a resurgence.

At risk are also those who have made the vaccine: in the case of whooping cough, in fact, you need to make in the course of life more than a reminder, since the immunity (acquired because you had the disease, or because one is vaccinated) tends to fade with the passing of the years.

But we have done another thing, we peeked into a couple of groups of “free-vax” to see the reactions of the parents to the DL Lorenzin. The father of the little girl immunodepressa was pakato!1 The group Facebook “Damaged by Stress DDL Lorenzin” is one of the groups of the anti-free-no-vax, the most fun I've ever meet. From the name, because one of Lorenzin is not a draft law (DDL), but a decree-law (DL). But maybe it was the stress causing the error. The moms (and some dads) it's a race to tell how bad they are living for the fault of the decree that introduces mandatory vaccinations for access to schools. But to hold the counter there are also other issues: for example, the case of the letter of the father of the girl immunodepressa Luca Zaia. It seems, however, there is very little human understanding for the situation of the girl child. The father has been paid for, they suspect some. Others simply do not care about the situation of sick children and immunosuppressed. We are at the world upside down: the healthy can not go around quiet, because they have to go around peaceful the sick! But why not stay home the immunosuppressed? To blame their poor parents on the verge of a crisis of the nerves can't send their children to kindergarten. It is a true injustice. And to the children of these parents who have to take “the virus several” do not think of anyone? Shame that “the virus several” contained in the vaccines do not make children sick. A duo of moms went to investigate on the profile Facebook of Nicola Pomaro. The suspicion is that it is a fake or that it is in any case paid by the PD (and who else?). All of this despite in that thread there are at least a dozen comments of a mother who explains to directly know the dad in question and ensures that the case is real, that the person really exists and is not paid by anyone, in fact. ""Look what happened to me yesterday due to the fault of DL Lorenzin"" the testimonies of The parents are damaged by the stress of the decree Lorenzin are chilling. People that sleeps the most, who studies all the time (for the famous graduated from the University of the Web) to prove that the Lorenzin is completely wrong. Who knows when they will realize that stress is solely due to the news alarming and canards spread by the free-market. Pregnant moms are stressed because the decree puts at risk the health of their children. And who knows when we will see the baneful fruits! There are also mothers who complain of having “the flow of milk slowed down” because of the stress from the DL Lorenzin. People – who writes from the account of the husband – forced to spend the holidays, and the anniversary of the wedding crying because for the fault of the DL passes all the time to inquire on the mobile phone. And we also bring the trolls who threaten and do miss the serenity. And then you wonder if someone loses sleep because he is awake to think of the DDL. A whirlwind of emotions and even a “hotbed” for this heroic and determinatissima mom. The panic attack (autodiagnosticato) is the most common symptom that is found among the mothers concerned. ""I have Nightmares"" to The lucky few who can sleep not-they're better: they have nightmares. Dreams that tell in detail and which describe the state of anxiety and anguish. Parents trapped that they feel like in prison. The interpretations of course is wasted. Because if just Internet to become immunologists, what do you want the servant to become psychoanalysts? Just the subscription that is, and assiduous reading of the letters to the newspapers. Some are even beautiful dreams, but when they wake up they discover that the vaccines are still all there. A nightmare with open eyes. ""I have no more courage to have children"" But losing sleep is the least. Burioni, and the Lorenzin will be directly responsible for the declining birth rate. There are parents who don't want to make the other children for not having to vaccinate. A situation that undermines some couples where the husband might like another son. A nice success for the Fertility Day! Definitely in favor of replacing ethnic, it is to be assumed. This mom sums up well the feelings of all. Nervousness, stress, loss of sleep. But, above all, so much hatred fostered by our politicians, by the newspapers and by those who make a different choice by the free-market. The expense is the tranquility in the family. Parents do not have more time to take care of children because they have to think always to the DL Lorenzin and vaccines. The advice of the attorney Tired, You might even think that it is a group of people who do not know how to react to a situation that is bigger than themselves. But they are not alone. Apparently the lawyer Tired "" idol of the crowds free-vax – has provided a model complaint to fill in and send to the Lorenzin and the President of the Republic. Parents are encouraged to ask the compensation “of the damage to existential caused by the promulgation of the decree-law illegitimately.” Not all of us believe because there is someone who wants to emigrate to Denmark or elsewhere to escape the terrible decree Lorenzin. Catholics against vaccines But there are only the parents to be stressed. There are also those who ask to be exempted from the obligation of vaccination in virtue of their religious faith. Concerned Parents, catholics, gathered in the group “Catholics, the Vaccines and the Rights Of Profession Of Worship” do not want to use pharmaceutical products that “contain fetuses that are aborted”. As we have explained here that one of the vaccines inside cells of fetuses aborted is a fregnaccia. This moral dilemma also occupied the Pontifical Academy for Life in 2005, confirming the lawfulness of the use of vaccines derived from cultures that have used skin cells from fetuses aborted if there are no alternatives (and there are). A document that is too ambiguous in what it condemns, however, the use of fetuses aborted for the production of vaccines, writing that have been produced in such a way “immoral”. In vaccines, there are cells from fetuses aborted, but it is true that to develop, for example, the vaccine against rubella, some researchers isolated the virus directly from the tissues of fetuses aborted. But once you have started the cultivation of the cell line was not longer necessary to use new fetal tissue for the production of vaccines. Therefore it is not necessary “new abortions” to produce vaccines. The same is true with regard to the presence of monkey kidney cells, or other animals. These are the cells used to cultivate the virus on a traditional Petri dish. But once produced, the vaccine is purified and there is no “piece of monkey kidney” that floats inside the vial of the vaccine. The parent who wants to organize measles parties There is, however, those who want to react in his own way to this situation. It is those who, instead, search for the immunization “natural”. Why pay or submit to the dictatorship imposed by the government and by Big Pharma when nature has already given you everything you need? Here again there is the fashion of the “measles party”. It is a practice ill-advised, which consists in exposing their children to the contagion of a disease such as measles or rubella to get the immunization without vaccine. The practice redefines the concept of “free-market”. Not so much in the sense of freedom from vaccines because of “vaccine free” and more natural. With the nice side effect of putting him in that place of the dictatorship of doctors and journalists. And this is not an isolated case. There are those who, believing that neovaccinati are contagious has tried to infect his daughter. But incredibly nothing happened. And then there is also the pediatrician who does not want to prescribe the examinations to see if he had whooping cough or not. All to force the poor family to vaccinate the children. Luckily, that some pious soul who tries to help this parent there is. And we are very certain that once exposed to the contagion of the children of this parent will be placed immediately in quarantine for the entire period of incubation up to the end of the disease. So as not to risk spreading the infection and putting at risk the health of people immunosuppressed. True? ",5682,"italy"

A few days later it leads to a blotchy rash that starts off on the face and spreads across the body.  Most people will recover, but measles can cause life-long disability. It can be deadly, especially if it causes pneumonia in the lungs or encephalitis (swelling in the brain).  It is estimated that a global total of 110,000 people die from measles each year.",5659,"uk"

The Italian government on Friday adopted a new law that makes that a child should have a series of vaccinations in order to be allowed to start school. The new law comes after an outbreak of measles in the country. The Italian prime minister, Paolo Gentiloni, said on Friday that the law makes vaccines before just was recommended, compulsory. Concretely, a child must be vaccinated for 12 different diseases before the child may be written up for the official childcare and the primary school, before it reaches the age of six years. After the age of six years, the parents can get fined if the child has not been vaccinated. This is because there is compulsory education after the age of six in Italy. - We are sending a very strong signal to the population, says health minister Beatrice Lorenzin. Pressed on Lorenzin was one of those who pushed to change the laws about vaccinations. One of the reasons is that the number of Italian children with measles has tripled - mainly because the children had not been vaccinated against it. The Italian ministry of health has, among others, pointed out that parents ' fear of the side effects associated with vaccinations may be to blame in that the proportion of two-year-old, who has been vaccinated has fallen from 90 percent a few years ago to 85 percent in 2015.

""The main cause is declining vaccination rates in Europe,"" he told iDNES.cz associate professor Rastislav Hungarian, head of the Institute of epidemiology and public health of the Medical faculty of the Ostrava university and also the chairman of the Coalition for the promotion of vaccination. He added that some parents for their children vaccination straight reject. Others may face, that they are not against vaccination, but to repeatedly refrain from it. Like when just before the deadline falsely claiming that it is their offspring sick. According to associate professor of Hungarian while measles could globally virtually disappear ""If they managed to keep after a few years of vaccination of at least 95 percent, we could globally eradicate and stop against them vaccinated. But rejectionists vaccination, paradoxically, hinder,“ says the Hungarian. ""The model now can be the whole of the american continent, where from the north to the south of the measles vaccination eliminated. The inhabitants of the developing countries of Central or South America so in this context, now paradoxically may be afraid of the population of developed Europe,“ he added.

""Just the doctor must upon the occurrence of the symptoms of the common cold think about it, that you can go about measles,"" warns a Hungarian. He recalled that in the case of measles has the child patient because of the disability of the upper respiratory tract and the eyes tearful expression on his face. ""And when we look into the mouth, on their mucosa opposite the chairs are typical of the pale spots on the zarudlém the substrate.

Usually on the body persists for about a week, then starts to subside. Inflammation of the brain death Part of the uncomplicated course of measles is inflammation of the bronchi. However, there are also various complications which may worsen the health condition of the patient. These include pneumonia and even inflammation of the brain. ""The most dreaded complication is the so-called subacute sclerosing panencephalitis, which is rare, but always fatal result spalničkové of the disease, which typically occurs only after six or seven years after a previous infection. The risk factor is going through with spalničkové infection under two years of age, when the immune system is not fully mature. It's actually a slow postinfekcionnoj viral disease of the central nervous system with extremely poor prognosis and fatal outcome in a few years from disease,“ says associate professor Rastislav Hungarian. He added that the most dangerous are the measles just for infants and children under two years of age, or for other people with weakened immunity. Complications can even cause disease pregnant women in the first twelve weeks of pregnancy – may miscarry. Long-term protection of a Specific drug measles virus does not exist, it dampens just the symptoms that cause the disease, such as fever. ""Patients with weakened immune systems may use antiviral drugs. After undergoing spalničkové infection no other disease in life there is no danger of postinfekcionnoj immunity protects the rest of your life,“ says the Hungarian. He adds that the possible hospitalization of patients in the hospital depends on the clinical condition. Measles is highly infectious and it is always required strict isolation of the sick. ""The patient is infectious four days before and four days after the onset of the rash,"" recalls the doctor. The ideal protection is vaccination. Is long-term, albeit that the precise duration of immunity is not precisely defined. In adulthood but anyone can get verified the level of the protective antibody test from the blood and possibly get to be revaccinated. ""It is worth mentioning that vaccination against measles was initiated in 1969, the older vintages, if disease not, not against them protected. Subsequently, in the years 1970 to 1975, applied only one dose of spalničkové vaccine, nor the protection of these years can not be after such a long time regarded as sufficient,“ warns a Hungarian. The so-called post-vaccination immunity, however, in the course of the decade, declining gradually at all, while the pace may be different. Exactly this, however, will determine when referred to a serological test for antibodies.",5300,"czech"

The ARS has found a common point in all these patients : they went to the ham Fair in Bayonne, which took place on the weekend of 20 April. Pyrénées-Atlantiques, France, The regional Agency of health has identified about forty cases of measles, which would be linked to the latest edition of the ham Fair in Bayonne. This large mixing of the population, almost 200,000 people over four days, appears to have facilitated the transmission of the disease. We're talking about a quarantine of infected persons, today, but there could be more. The ARS is in the process of doing a census. Among the sick, four people were hospitalized in Bayonne, one case has been reported at the University in Bayonne, several relate to the Béarn, including one reported to the University in Pau. Six Landais are also affected. It is important to know that a person is contagious even before having symptoms, especially a high fever and red buttons. The period of incubation is from 7 to 18 days. Doctors need to escalate the case to the regional Agency of health in Bordeaux, which today is trying to remind the sick one by one.

According to the national Institute of public health (IZJSZ), more than 5 000 cases have been recorded in the territory since October. Households that had already surfaced in Kosovo are first multiplied around Nis, a city in the south-east. A first fatality was recorded at the end of December: a man of 30 years died of a pulmonary inflammation. The contagion has made rapid progress: in Belgrade, more than 1,600 people have been infected. Has Nis, the hospital recorded five deaths to date. At the national level, the last death recorded is that of a baby of 11 months, in mid-April.

Like many infants at the time in Yugoslavia, it has received only a single dose of vaccine, instead of two, which has made it vulnerable. ""I had a fever and small white dots appeared in the mouth.

The 2020 goal, according to the standards of the world health Organization (WHO), is to maintain a 95% coverage. ""The analyses show that the majority of parents who are reluctant are not against vaccines, observes Vesna Trifunovic. They are rather ill-informed and reason based on their everyday experience.

The highest number of cases is registered in Europe (more than 82 000 in 2018), in front of the South-East Asia (over 70 000). These data are to be interpreted with caution, the case is widely under-reported, especially in countries with health systems and epidemiological surveillance are performing poorly.

"1919","Most of the deaths are due to complications of the disease, says the world health Organization. LUKAS SCHULZE / AFP A third person has died from measles in 2018 : a young 17 year old girl, who succumbed to the ""neurological complications"" at the CHU of Bordeaux, announced Friday, July 6, the public Health agency of France. Since November, 2 567 cases of measles have been identified by the directorate-general of health. Cases have been observed in 84 departments and where no French department does not reach the coverage rate of vaccination of 95 %, necessary to the containment of the disease. Measles, which usually affects very young children, this time as adults. The point on the current epidemic, its origins and the response of the health authorities. 1. The measles, a fever is highly contagious, measles is too often the image of a benign disease, so that it can be very serious in some cases. Transmission is mainly by air : sneezing or persistence of the virus in the air (the virus remains active for two hours). The patient becomes contagious before the onset of the first symptoms (fever, fatigue, cough...) and the rest for up to five days after. A sick person can contaminate the fifteen to twenty people. Most of the deaths are due to complications of the disease, says the world health Organization (WHO) : ""serious complications are more frequent before the age of 5 years, or adults over 30 years. ""In fact, the virus can have neurological consequences, leaving heavy sequelae, such as encephalitis (acute inflammation of the brain). It can also cause serious infections of the lungs, and in some cases blindness. At least ten people have died of the latest outbreak of measles (2008-2012) : three subjects in the vaccinable but not vaccinated, and seven against-indications – babies too young, pregnant women or people with weakened immune systems. In sum, victims whose protection depended on, voluntarily or not, from the vaccination of others. Measles : measles is 1 in 500 cases of pneumonia serious 10 years From January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2017, more than 24 500 cases of measles have been reported in France. In its latest bulletin, Public Health recognizes have discovered 10 additional deaths between 2008 and 2014, bringing the total to 21 deaths in ten years. Public health France Source : Gold group immunity, which allows to protect these vulnerable subjects, is no longer guaranteed when the population falls below a certain threshold of vaccination. Result, these people are no longer protected. 2. Why people have stopped being vaccinated At the national level, the rate of immunization coverage with measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) was barely above 80 % in 2016. In fact, no department achieved 95% vaccination coverage at 2 years of age for both doses of vaccine, making possible a spread of the epidemic in all the regions of france. Measles : no department has a coverage of 95 %, The WHO recommends 95 % immunization coverage to ensure herd immunity, which protects non-vaccinated (babies, pregnant women, people with weakened immune systems,...). INVS public Health Source : coverage, vaccine-MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) 24 months, in 2016 (fourteen departments have not submitted data to the health authorities). This low level of immunization can be explained in particular by the controversy caused by a study published in 1998 in the Lancet by the British Andrew Wakefield, linking the MMR vaccine and autism. Even though the study in question was strictly contradicted by all the research later, that the journal had published was retracted, it was severely marred by shortcomings, methodological (it was based on a study of twelve patients only) and motivated by the funding of its author, the media impact that it has had on western public opinion has fuelled a distrust that continues today. Confidence in the vaccine has been so dull that by 2016, 41 % of the French surveyed believed that the vaccines are not safe, a world record. According to the results of the health Barometer, published in October, the French are in favour of 75 % vaccination. But this proportion exceeded 90 % in the early 2000s. Also read The vaccine effectiveness eleven diseases 3. The authorities bring out the heavy artillery measles became one of the betes noires of the French health authorities, who must also cope with the campaigns antivaccins. The minister of health, Agnes Buzyn had already stated, at a press briefing on 5 January : ""When we take the decision to misinform the public opinion, that is made to circulate false information, and that families are reluctant and do not vaccinate children, and that these families have lost a child to meningitis, now they can't go against these distilleurs bad information. And, therefore, the public authorities take their responsibilities. ""As soon as the diagnosis of measles is made, the people who are not immunized (unvaccinated or who received only one dose) may avoid the disease by being vaccinated within 72 hours after the contact, remember his side of the ARS. Since the 1st of January, regardless of the age, the authorities impose a vaccination requirement (and the children who are not vaccinated will not be admitted in nurseries and schools from 1 June) : the first dose of vaccine against measles, mumps and rubella at 12 months ",5114,"france"

Liam Sollis, head of policy and advocacy at Unicef UK, said: “This data shows the stark global impact of this devastating and entirely preventable disease.  “With vaccination rates in the UK falling and recently losing our measles-free status, an outbreak is now a ticking time bomb.  “Vaccines are the safest and most effective preventative measures against highly infectious disease, but currently too many children are being put at unnecessary risk – with half a million children in the UK unvaccinated against measles.  “It’s crucial to build trust with parents and improve access to vaccine services.  “No child should be denied their right to be protected from vaccine-preventable disease.”  Tedros Adhanom Ghebreysus, director-general of the WHO, said: “The fact that any child dies from a vaccine-preventable disease like measles is frankly an outrage and a collective failure to protect the world’s most vulnerable children.  “To save lives, we must ensure everyone can benefit from vaccines – which means investing in immunisation and quality healthcare as a right for all.”  Dr Charlie Weller, head of vaccines at Wellcome in London, said: “It is a tragedy that so many children are dying from measles and that we are seeing a rise in cases in so many countries.  “We have a safe and effective measles vaccine that has saved millions of lives to date and is now available to record numbers of children.  “If we are to protect lives, we must understand and address the reasons why measles vaccine uptake is lower than required to achieve herd immunity and prevent outbreaks.  “In particular, these latest figures from the WHO underline the urgent need for an increased focus in low-income regions to ensure vaccines reach those who need them the most.”  More than an estimated 19 million children worldwide did not have the first dose of the measles vaccine by their second birthday in 2018.

"1920","In early November, a team of first aiders israeli goes to the home of a religious family of Mea Shéarim, this enclave of haredi (""God-fearing"") of Jerusalem so radical that it is cordoned off by barriers during the shabbat. The doctors were called to rescue a little girl of 18 months who, according to his parents, has ""fainted"". Upon their arrival, the baby no longer has a pulse. The family, whose offspring was the face-hailed by the marks of the measles, locks himself in an adjacent room and pray. The child will not resurrect. The fact various made in Israel, a symbol of the severity of the measles epidemic affecting the country, and more specifically the area of Jerusalem and its jewish quarters ultraorthodoxes. In 2016, only nine cases have been identified in the jewish State, and then 33 in 2017. This year, the last count of the ministry of Health done at the end of November was 2000 cases, including more than 800 in Jerusalem. We have not seen for decades. The contagion has started to reach the United States, where measles has been officially eradicated in the early 2000s. Again, the hundred patients reported living in the bastions haredim of Brooklyn and New Jersey, local officials pointing the finger at ultraorthodoxes returning from travel in Israel. Highly contagious, measles is considered by the world Health Organization as one of the main causes of death among young children, despite the effectiveness of the vaccine against the disease. Schoolchildren In the vast majority of cases, including the one of the girl of Mea Shéarim, the sick are not vaccinated, in contrast to 96% of the rest of the israeli population. Israel Hayom, daily yet acquired at Prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, was alarmed by the apathy of the authorities, revealing this week that 500 of the 600 school children in the city of Pardes Hanna-Karkur (north of Israel) have still not been immunized against the virus. Yaakov Litzman, the deputy Health minister in charge of the dossier, has launched an awareness campaign based on the rabbis, while decreasing the epidemic which he describes as ""slight"". This ultraorthodoxe with the long white beard, is under the fire of criticism for the view that the current situation is due as much to the ""sector arab sector haredi"". Assertion firmly denied by Nadav Davidovitch, chair of the Association of public health israel, which reminds us of the very high immunization rates of the palestinian population and the quasi-absence of cases in these communities. ""Murderers"" On November 18, a bill providing a fine of 2,000 shekels (a little less than 500 euros), levied on family allowances, and against parents refusing to vaccinate their children has been unanimously approved by the ministerial committee of the Knesset. But it is unlikely, then, that the coalition of Netanyahu is in crisis, that the text to be voted on in the immediate future. Nor is it to be very dissuasive. The community media are trying to analyze the rise of the movement ""anti-vax"" in men in black. A group of influential rabbis signed an edict distributed in the form of leaflets denouncing the parents recalcitrant as ""murderers"", violating the principle talmudic of pikuach nefesh which means that the preservation of human life overrides all other considerations, including the religious. But a sect minority of the movement haredi take refuge behind the will of God. Mingle concerns in vogue (including the belief that the vaccine causes autism) and mistrust for centuries and to the modern world and the authorities. Some argue also social reasons behind the epidemic, including the unhealthy living conditions of the ""God-fearing"" and their difficulty to access to information, since most go to the internet.",5107,"france"
"5351","Two more measles deaths in Italy, two adults and unvaccinated reported by the Region of Sicily. The report, the latest bulletin on the disease of the national Institute of Health, according to which this brings to 6 the number of deaths in Italy in 2018. The two deaths further reported, according to the document, occurred in a person, a 51-year-old and a 29. ""In all cases, the cause of death was severe respiratory failure and/or arrest, cardio-circulatory - write the experts of Iss -. All cases were unvaccinated at the time of the infection"". From 1 January to 31 August 2018, have been reported in Italy 2.248 cases of measles (of which 126 in the month of July and 66 in August 2018). 88.5% of the cases occurred in 7 Regions, in the head with the Sicily (1.116 cases). The Region of Sicily reported the highest incidence (333 cases per million inhabitants). The median age of the cases was equal to 25 years. Have been reported 429 cases in children under the age of 5 years, of which 138 had less than 1 year. 91.1% of the cases was not vaccinated at the time of the infection, 5.5% had carried out a single dose. 48.9% of the cases developed at least one complication, continues the document, and the 59,4% of the total cases was hospitalized. Have been reported 98 cases between health workers, of which 52 with complications (53.1 percent). - Cricket, obligation, vaccine not just for prevention 'demonstrates The epidemic in place in Italy,' The epidemic of measles ""in the course of our Country demonstrates how to force vaccinations may be necessary, but not sufficient for the purposes of prevention"". He said the minister of Health, Giulia Grillo at question time today in the Senate. In fact, the minister underscored, ""the increase in coverage that the obligation he has produced in the generations of the new born has not stopped the spread of the disease"". This is because, he explained, ""the elimination of measles requires the implementation of complex interventions, described in a Plan that is already available and that, however, has been culpably forgotten since 2011, as well as non-funded. To stop the epidemic it is necessary, for example, to promote vaccination among health care professionals to ensure the opportunities of contact with health services and should develop a lot in the social communication.

"3462","The measles have of North Rhine-Westphalia in the handle: After the end of may had already been around reported 400 measles cases in the state, approaching the number of the mark of 500. In may, died in Essen, a 37-year-old woman in the measles. An effective vaccine there is. But who can be vaccinate, the decision in Germany is voluntary. Some infection, a physician will look now with envy to France: The country has decided a few days ago, to raise the vaccination of small children against eleven pathogens from 2018 to duty. Such a vaccination is not completely new for the French. Against polio, diphtheria and tetanus immunisations are already compulsory. Now, eight more vaccines are added as a mandatory, are so far only recommended, including whooping cough, Mumps, rubella and the measles. As the newspaper Libération reported, said Premier Édouard Philippe, in his speech before the national Assembly, you should not allow that ""in the home of Pasteur,"" you are still a child with measles will die. Louis Pasteur is next to the British Edward Jenner as the pioneer of Impfprinzips. Especially the second measles vaccination parents drag France is the second European country to pronounce a comprehensive vaccination for small children. In may, the Italian government had adopted a similar rule, where children must be vaccinated even against the 12 pathogens. Here, too, the occasion was a measles epidemic. Germany is light-years away from such a step. Federal health Minister Hermann Gröhe had spoken two years ago, although it has been shown that a vaccination was at least against measles in Germany ""no taboo"". In may of this year he stated, however, the conditions during Seeding were ""strict enough"". Besides, since 2015, the possibility of unvaccinated children and adolescents from nursery or school to temporarily exclude to day-care centres report to the health authorities in the future, when parents of a vaccination advice refuse. The ""law for the modernization of the epidemiological Surveillance of communicable diseases"", adopted in early June by the Bundestag and today, Friday in the Bundesrat vote. In principle, however, there remains the voluntary nature of vaccination. The Standing Committee on vaccination of the Robert Koch-Institute (Stiko) recommends, to immunize children in the preschool age as a whole against 13 pathogens, which can invariably lead to disease with severe complications. On the list, pneumococcus, Varicella, or of tetanus are in addition to diphtheria and whooping cough. The biggest priority for the measles vaccination, however, remains. Although current data from school entrance examinations, only in Baden-Württemberg, less than the necessary 95 per cent of school beginners vaccinated. The second measles vaccination, however, should be carried out according to the Stiko prior to the completion of the second year of life, takes place only in the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern and Brandenburg, in the case of a sufficient number of children as planned. In all other provinces the necessary Coverage will not be achieved by 95 percent. In Baden-Württemberg it is even far below 90 percent. Because the vaccination occurs in children mostly in the context of a three-way vaccination, the rates for Mumps and rubella as bad. There's no medical reason, according to the Stiko against the large number of vaccines to be administered to a large part already within the first months of life. However, many parents worry that the many immunizations overwhelm the weak immune system of children. ""The fact is that children today are vaccinated against more diseases than in the past,"" it says on the Website of the Robert Koch-Institute. The Vaccination is performed according to Stiko is very much milder about. The number of different antigens in the vaccines have reduced significantly, in the whooping cough vaccine, for example, from 3000 to 150. As antigens, infections call lying to the characteristics of a pathogen, the immune system will react and the need to memorize it permanently. This immunological memory is the basis for Vaccination. At least in the case of measles, such protection is desired even by a majority. According to surveys, more than three-quarters of Germans are in favour of compulsory vaccination against the disease. How rigorously an obligation but would enforce, in addition to self-advocates of mandatory vaccination are at odds. In Italy, the government shows hardness: children who have not received prior to the Enrollment, all twelve of the mandatory vaccinations can begin with the lessons, the parents of high fines. How far the French will go with the Definition of ""mandatory"" vaccination is not yet certain. The French health Minister Agnes Buzyn announced on Thursday on French television, to develop exemptions for parents who want their children to comprehensive Information and advice is not to vaccinate. ""The goal is not to impose fines, but educational to proceed,"" said the Doctor.",4858,"germany"
"1921","After decades of dramatic progress, the fight against measles is stagnating and the number of deaths is on the rise again in 2018, have alerted the world health Organization (WHO) and the u.s. health authorities on Thursday 5 December 2019, while outbreaks have taken place in the Pacific to Europe. 62 dead in Samoa It is one of the virus the most contagious, which can stay in a room two hours after the passage of an infected person, and it has caused epidemics on five continents since 2018, exploding in cities or neighbourhoods where too few people are vaccinated. The small islands of Samoa in the South Pacific are struggling at the moment against the epidemic and count their dead : 62 since October 2019. 54 of them were children under four years of age. The authorities have cut off access to the archipelago and were operating Thursday, December 5, a vaccination campaign door-to-door. Measles kills mostly children under 5 years of age, Five countries have concentrated almost half of the cases in 2018 : the democratic Republic of the Congo, Liberia, Madagascar, Somalia, and Ukraine, according to a report published by the Centers for control and prevention of diseases (CDC). But the virus can travel easily. Israel has seen the importation of one hundred cases from elsewhere, the Philippines and Ukraine... From there, a few travellers infected have transmitted the disease in the jewish districts of New York and contributed to the greatest epidemic in the United States since 1992. In wealthy countries, measles kills no or very little. But in the DRC, measles kills two times more than Ebola : 5.000 dead this year. In total, 142.000 people have died in the world in 2018. It is four times less than in 2000, but up 15% from 2017. Most of the deaths are children under 5 years of age. ""Babies and very young children are most at risk of contracting measles, with potential complications, such as pneumonia and encephalitis (swelling of the brain), as well as a lifelong disability permanent brain damage, blindness or hearing loss"", says the WHO. Vaccine coverage rates at 86% instead of 95% ""the Whole world knows that there is a measles vaccine safe, effective, available everywhere in the past 50 years"", complained Kate O'brien, director of immunization at WHO, in a press conference. ""It really is a collective failure to see these epidemics."" A figure illustrates this failure : since 2010, the proportion of the world's population who received the first dose of vaccine (two recommended) stagnates at about 86%. To prevent epidemics, the goal is 95%. ""There has been no progress in the immunization coverage against measles in a decade,"" says Kate O'brien. But averages are misleading. Only 61% of countries have reached the 90% for the first dose. There were more of them in 2013. Europe is almost to the goal average, which has not prevented epidemics because it is sufficient that a community is under-vaccinated for the virus takes hold. The AFP is made in the small town of Dutch Urk, a very religious, where only 60% of inhabitants are vaccinated, and where an epidemic has struck in June 2019. In Africa three-quarters of the population are vaccinated, but this hides regional disparities. Less of an african country on three vaccinated at least 90% of its population. The health infrastructure is still insufficient. Doubling of cases in Europe In developed countries, the movement of distrust of vaccines has contributed to the resurgence of the disease. Maybe people have forgotten that before the advent of the vaccine in the 1960s, measles killed also in New York and Paris. The United States have failed to lose this year, the status earned in 2000, to countries where measles has been officially eradicated (absence of continuous transmission for 12 months in a particular geographic area). But Great Britain, Greece, Albania or the Czech Republic have lost this status in August. The year 2019 saw a doubling in the number of measles cases in Europe.",4849,"france"
"5353","Measles is perhaps the tip of the iceberg but there are many diseases that come back, almost eradicated, and this ended up in the oblivion of the fears of the parents. The alarm of the Ministry of Health comes after numerous alerts of substantially all of the health organisations national and international, starting from the Who. Here's what the doctors and health institutions in fear, i watched special on the public health. - WHOOPING-cough. In countries like England, spiga, Gianni Rezza infettivologo of the Istituto Superiore di Sanita', the problem is so heard there's a program of vaccination of the mothers. In 2014 In Europe there were over 40 thousand reported cases of whooping cough, according to the latest epidemiology report annual ECDC (updated to July 7, 2016). The vaccination for pertussis (whooping cough) in Italy is included in the vaccine hexavalent chromium to the range of paediatric up to 12 months, in the later recall is mainly in combination with diphtheria and tetanus, explains Rocco Russo, a member of the technical committee on vaccines of the Italian Society of Pediatrics. - DIPHTHERIA. Diphtheria is an infectious disease acute caused by the bacterium Corynebacterium diphtheriae. Once entered in our body, this infectious agent releases a toxin that can damage or even destroy the organs and tissues. The organs involved vary depending on the type of bacterium: the most common affects the throat, the nose and sometimes the tonsils, while another type, mainly present in the tropics, causes ulcers on the skin. The vaccine is available by 1920, but during the years of the second world war and even after it was one of the plagues the worst, to the premature infant. Now there are outbreaks of diphtheria in Eastern Europe, where the vaccine coverage is low. The Federation of the orders of doctors does not preclude can get in Italy. - POLIO. Polio is a serious infectious disease, load of the central nervous system that primarily affects the motor neurons in the spinal cord. First described by Michael Underwood, british physician, in 1789, polio was registered for the first time in epidemic form in Europe at the beginning of the NINETEENTH century and shortly after in the United States. The spread of polio reached a peak in the United States in 1952 with more than 21mila cases registered. In Italy, in 1958, were reported over 8 thousand cases. The last american case dates back to 1979, while in our country it has been notified in 1982. This is still in the Middle East and in Nigeria. And' perhaps the most seal because of the serious damage it causes. But in addition to this, according to Security also even diseases are ""poorly controlled"" as chickenpox, hepatitis A, and also the vurus Hpv, due to insufficient vaccination coverage.

"5354","A chain of infection from measles, left a girl hospitalized at the pediatric hospital of the capital of apulia and non-vaccinated. The story – told from The Journal of the south – starts on the 27th of October: the small ten years comes to the emergency room of John XXIII. After a few days comes confirmation on the part of the medical staff of the department infectious: it is measles. The parents of the girl confirm they had never submitted to vaccine. This is the only certain news. Equally certain were the analysis to confirm this – is that other children were hospitalized in the same hospital, because infected with the “index case“: it is the little sister and his cousin. A baby of 10 months, also admitted in the same period of the girl, but to a otitis – is returned to the pediatric, but this time to measles. At a distance of a very short time to end up in the hospital, but the Hospital, one of the watchers of the children. And not only has had consequences also the mother of two twin girls who had previously been hospitalized at the John XXIII for any other reason. Both vaccinated, have not been infected, their mum instead of yes, because non-vaccinated. There is also a third case, but this seems to be isolated from the other. A chain match and then from the small non-vaccinated that infected all the others. They also do not have to be vaccinated. “From the first days of November – he tells he helped.en Rossella Squicciarini, head of surveillance and epidemiology, infectious diseases of the department of prevention Asl Bari – that is, when it arrived the communication of the case of measles, we are working to prevent further infections. Have subjected to the vaccine, post-exposure‘, all the relatives and friends who have been in contact with the children and the adults infected”. “At the same time, he continued, we screened all medical staff and hospital and of the paediatric round in the days when he was the index case and chain all infected”. The incubation period of this disease is about 10 days: it begins at the entry of the virus in the body and ends at the onset of the fever. The infectivity lasts until 5 days after the rash, and is maximum three days before, when she has the fever. It is one of the diseases more communicable: infection takes place via the nasal secretions, and pharyngeal, by air through respiratory droplets that spread in the air when a sick person coughs or sneezes. That's why in a short time, the virus is widespread, affecting other subjects. “We are not able to confirm that the parents of the little 10 years are ‘no vax’ – says the doctor – and honestly this is not the problem. What we want to explain is that vaccinations are the only way to protect their children, and as a result the entire community. This disease is very dangerous especially for adults and pregnant women. We are afraid, "" concludes the Squicciarini – that there might be other cases to detect. We screened also women pregnant who came in contact with the sick. We are still in suspense: let's hope there are no cases at risk“. In addition to the ongoing controversy against those who are pro or against vaccines, there is another: the assumption is – in fact – that the medical staff of the department of infection and has delayed the notification, as envisaged by the protocol – to the Services of public hygiene and the isolation of mother and child. All to ascertain, of course. But if there had been, really, the risk of an outbreak would be very large.",4811,"italy"

Forty cases have been identified to this day by the doctors of the agency. They conducted a survey of patients and have established a common point that allows them to be categorical. This is what is shown Séverine Huguet of the ARS in Bordeaux. The ham fair was held during the easter weekend, from April 18 to April 21, 2019. The biggest case related to the ham fair is theoretically declared, since the incubation period is complete. On the other hand, there may be a rebound possible. A rebound can be explained by the patients themselves who send their relatives to the disease, so-called secondary cases.

"1924","The epidemic particularly strong in the South-West, threatening a million French citizens inadequately vaccinated. A million French citizens at risk in the face of measles. This figure disturbing in regard to a disease that is often benign but sometimes severe, extremely contagious, and are on the increase since the beginning of the year. Since 6 November last year, the beginning of the epidemic in New-Aquitaine, 913 cases were reported in France (90 % in 2018), which led to 201 hospitalizations and one death (our editions of 15 February). Hence the press conference held on the 14th of march by the Directorate-general of Health (DGS). ""We absolutely want to avoid the situation of 2008-2012 with an epidemic of very large scale in France, in charge of nearly 25,000 cases of measles reported, including 1,500 pneumonia severe, 35 encephalitis, and 20 deaths,"" said Daniel Lévy-Bruhl, head of unit, respiratory Infections, and immunization of public Health in France. There may still be time. ""An epidemic is like a fire, it is necessary to mobilize when one still has the means to do so"", writes the new director of the DGS, Jerome Solomon, who was appointed in January last. And this medium exists: vaccination. ""The MAN (drug Agency) is in close connection with the laboratories, and the national Council of the College of pharmacists to ensure the availability of vaccines,"" he added. Cross a patient will have little impact if you are born before 1980, because you are surely protected ""More than a million people in France today are likely to measles if they are in contact with a patient according to an extrapolation of a study in 2013 which showed that 9.2% of young adults (18-32 years old at the time) had no protective antibody against measles,"" said Dr. Lévy-Bruhl. Cross a patient will have little impact if you are born before 1980, because you are surely protected. At the time, the virus was circulating so much in our country that virtually the entire population, to the nearest 2%, has been contaminated at one time or another, and is now immune. It is a different story if you were born after 1980 and have not been vaccinated. Because you can no longer rely on the protection of the other, as has long been the case. Now, the immunization coverage is below the 95 % required to interrupt circulation of the virus in the French population. The most annoying thing is to see that at the age of 2 years, 90.5% of newborns have received the first dose of the measles vaccine, but one in five children has still not received their two doses. For these children not or insufficiently protected, as well as for those who cannot be vaccinated (pregnant women, immunocompromised, infants less than one year), the only possible protection is a result of herd immunity. In other words, the vaccination correct people who can get vaccinated. Now, the immunization coverage is below the 95% required to interrupt circulation of the virus in the French population ""During the epidemic of 2008-2012, at least eight of the twenty deaths have occurred in people who had contra-indications to vaccination."" They have had the misfortune to come across infected persons. For those, children or young adults, who would not have received a single dose of vaccine, a second dose is necessary. It is not a recall. ""We are doing a second dose because 7% to 8% of the people do not respond to the first dose,"" said Dr. Lévy-Bruhl. For those who have lost their health book, ""they must do at least one dose,"" says professor Solomon. ""No department reaches the 95% coverage, deplores the Pr in Solomon, it is the goal to control this epidemic."" The coverage is even less than 70 % in some departments (Hautes-Alpes, Ariege, Aude, Aveyron, Gers, Jura, Lot and Orne) and will only reach, at best, 87,8 % (Paris). For the moment, 59 % of departments reported cases of measles, half of which are located in New-Aquitaine. ""All regions are affected, but all departments are not, said Dr Lévy-Bruhl. I hope I do not have to say ""not yet"".""",4654,"france"

It thus confirmed a report of the ""Bild am Sonntag"". Already in may, the basic principles of vaccination were to become law known. Therefore, children should be Impfverweigerern from the Kita excluded, in the case of school children, fines of up to 2500 euros can be due. The new draft also contains three extensions.

The ""Bild am Sonntag"", according to parents, nursery staff or childminders need to provide proof by July 2021. A newly arriving asylum seekers would have to show the vaccination no later than four weeks after his arrival. Because Refugees often come from countries with dysfunctional health system, not many are vaccinated adequately.

The illness numbers in Germany vary from year to year. This year the Robert Koch Institute were reported until mid-June, more than 400 cases. The German ethics Council, had spoken out recently against a General vaccination. In the end of June published opinion, the panel recommended a compulsory vaccination only for certain occupational groups in the health sector and in the field of education.

Also with regards to the meningitis, ""it is Not tolerable that a 15-year-old may die because it is not vaccinated,"" Italy was until recently the only country to have introduced the obligation of vaccination in Europe. But something is changing. Starting from France that could increase the number of vaccines, at least for a period of time, which should cover the range between 5 and 10 years.

With regard to the hostility of a part of the population, Buzyn considers it paradoxical that the attitude of some that, “from one hand they ask for a vaccine, when a virus such as Ebola and, on the other hand, are wary of existing ones”. Serves, as he says, to do “a cultural work. Vaccination is not just a question of personal interest. It is a matter of solidarity, a way of protecting the society as a whole”. With regard to doubts about the obligatory, “I hate coercion – admits minister – but we are facing an urgent need“. In some cases, “the obligation is a good thing to allow the society to evolve. I think the equality between men and women. We never were able to make progress on parity, without imposing it on the boards”. In regard to the critics who consider the obligation a ‘gift to the pharmaceutical companies’, the minister rejects the accusation: “it Is true, the industries will earn money, but you can not reduce the issue of vaccinations to the interests of the laboratories.” Finally the flu vaccination.

Mention the word vaccine among residents of Williamsburg receives almost always an awkward silence and the refusal of the people to discuss something that is on everyone's lips, but that very few want to address. We talk about the Brooklyn neighborhood that has become the epicenter of a measles outbreak that began last fall in the bosom of the jewish community-orthodox of New York and which already affects half thousand people. ""My wife and I vaccinated our children and what we did before it was required"", explains this journal Matt Moas, a businessman of 33 years who lives in Brooklyn with his family and that makes it clear that not all in the community are opposed to vaccines. ""They are a minority, people are very closed people living in isolated, but despite of being few they are making a lot of noise,"" she laments. Since the onset of the measles outbreak last fall, the city of New York has confirmed 498 cases in Brooklyn and Queens, in their overwhelming majority among members of the orthodox community, which is concentrated in Williamsburg and Borough Park. The authorities have reported no deaths, but 34 people have been hospitalized and nine have ended up in intensive care. To date, we have managed to 23,000 vaccinations against measles, mumps and rubella, but some families are still refusing to go to the doctor, in the midst of an unprecedented mobilization of the collective antivacunas. That's why the city's mayor, Bill de Blasio, ordered in mid-April, a mass vaccination campaign in the affected districts, under threat of fines of $ 1,000 to those who violate the order. ""We have chosen the jews to distract us from diseases that bring the illegals"" Rabbi William Handler, A spokesman for the Department of Health, Pedro Frisneda, explained to the Paper that have already received sanctions 98 people, and since the entry into force of the health emergency, a dozen schools and child-care facilities and orthodox have been closed for failure to demonstrate to the inspectors that all its students are vaccinated, the last a yeshiva in Queens closed this week. A strict municipal ordinance that sat like a jug of cold water in the community. Matt Moas do not believe that is the way to solve this problem, but understands the concern of the city council. ""Here what is needed is more education, explain to parents that there are risks, and that, on the contrary, not to do so is very dangerous because it is a very contagious disease,"" he says. ""I don't like to get into our private lives, but this affects all of us, there are people who have stopped going to Williamsburg, and this epidemic has us divided. In my shul (synagogue) we were told from the beginning that they have zero tolerance and do not allow us to take the children without being vaccinated,"" says this entrepreneur who works in the diamond district in midtown Manhattan. Unfortunately not all think the same. ""Parents don't want to play Russian roulette with its children"", according to rabbi William Handler, one of the voices more polemics against the vaccine, and last week hinted that the campaign of De Blasio is a smokescreen to hide other problems: ""we have again elected to the jews to distract us from other virulent diseases that are bringing the illegals"". The arguments are multifarious, but between all the more alarming is the alleged links with autism. So it appears a sort of Manual for parents on the safety of vaccines is circulating for months among the families of ultra-orthodox Williamsburg, released by a group called the PEACH, in which, among other things, ensure that vaccines ""contain DNA from monkey, rat and pig"".

It is characterized by the onset of fever, a cough, a cold and conjunctivitis followed by the appearance of red patches on the skin (which most often begins at the level of the head and then extend on the trunk and the rest of the body). The patients are often very cut down. Measles is spread from person to person and is highly contagious (it is contagious 5 days before the rash appears and until 5 days after). This disease can lead to serious complications and hospitalizations. It can be fatal, even a properly supported hospital. The vaccination, a single protection For a reminder, two doses of the vaccine offer protection to the very high lifetime. However, 25% of the population has not received the second dose of vaccination. The direct effects of the campaigns anti-vaccination launched by pressure groups. However, in order to avoid a movement of the disease within the population, there must be a vaccination rate of 95 % for two doses ! To be certain of your vaccination status or that of your loved ones, including children, it is important to check your vaccination card. Specifically, how to get vaccinated ? The two doses of the vaccine are, respectively, administered at the age of 1 year and 11/12 year old. These vaccines are available for less than 20 years through the immunization program of the Federation Wallonia-Brussels (vaccines available through the consultations ONE, the medical school, the physicians, or pediatricians). Any consultation fees are at your charge at the doctor. For adults not or insufficiently vaccinated, vaccination can be achieved with your treating physician. So, if you are not certain to be immune, and also that you no longer have your vaccination card, get vaccinated. Failing that, you can also do a blood test to see if you are protected against the measles virus. People born before 1970 are naturally immunized. In effect, a person who has already submitted a measles is protected for life. If you have any questions about measles or vaccination, talk to your doctor, it is the best source of reliable information on the benefits and risks of vaccination.",4380,"belgium"

"5359","In the beginning of 2017 were recorded in Italy almost the same cases all over the 2016. The minister Lorenzin: ""The vaccination coverage are lowered dangerously."" The trivalent vaccine MPR, which also acts against the measles, is considered by some to be anti-vaccinisti a possible cause of autism In the beginning of 2017 were recorded in Italy almost the same cases of measles all over the 2016. Of the 884 reported in all of last year, from January to today there have been identified more than 700. A worrying increase of over 230%, “largely due to the increasing number of parents who refuse the vaccination, despite the evidence established, and despite the measures of some regions that tend to improve the covers, interacting with the families and parents.” To explain this, the ministry of Health has released data. The trivalent vaccine MPR, which also acts against the measles, is finished at the centre of a court case based on the hypothesis of a causal link with the onset of autism. After a first instance judgment of the court of Rimini, that in 2012 has recognized this connection (between the protests of the medical and scientific community), on appeal, the courts of Bologna have dismissed this hypothesis, explaining in the reasons that “the apparent absence of other causes” for the occurrence of the disease was not enough to give the responsibility to the vaccination. But, in spite of the judicial truth, the association of the vaccine Mmr-autism has continued to animate the debate between supporters and opponents to vaccines. “The Ministry will activate all possible steps to ensure the full realization of the objectives of the recent national Plan for the prevention, vaccination, and in order to regain quickly the vaccination coverage that have drooped dangerously over the last few years”, said the minister of Health, Beatrice Lorenzin, commenting on the sharp increase in cases of measles, which has affected mainly people between 15 and 39 years, with particular concentrations in the Piedmont, Lazio, Lombardy and Tuscany. “Despite the Plan for the elimination of measles started in 2005, and vaccination is among those that are highly recommended and free of charge, in 2015, the vaccination coverage against measles in children at 24 months was 85,3%, still far from the 95% that is the threshold value necessary to stop the circulation of the virus in the population,” said Lorenzin. “It is now vital – has added the minister – to promote a campaign of further accountability on the part of parents and of people is not immune to all ages, so you do not give up this vital opportunity to prevent a disease that can be lethal.“ The measles vaccine is administered together with the one against mumps and rubella. It is precisely the so-called vaccine MPR. The first to argue for the thesis that the trivalent vaccine could lead to autism was Andrew Wakefield. His theories, unilateral action by the scientific journal that had published and which has been deleted from the register of u.s. physicians in 2011, and have met new fame after the release of the film Vaxxed – from cover up to catastrophe, of which Wakefield is the director. In September 2016 was banned and its projection to the Senate. For the Association of Italian Hospital Surgeons “is a movie that is blatantly anti-scientific that straddles the theories that are supported by fraudulent data”. “Are widespread beliefs by modern sorcerers without any scruples,” according to the vice-president of the Acoi, Pierluigi Marini. At present there are no studies recognized by the scientific community that show a correlation between this vaccine and autism. “What we always feared is happening – commented Alberto Villani, head of the department of Infectious Diseases at the Bambino Gesu Hospital in Rome and President of the Italian Society of pediatrics, with this attitude of the vaccinations we provide at-risk children, those who do not have the age or not can be vaccinated. Measles is a dangerous disease, in one case in a thousand gives you encephalitis in one out of ten thousand leads to death“.

"1925","A teenage girl of 16 years is dead at the end of June in Marseille after being infected with the measles virus. On 27 June, a teenage girl died of severe complications related to the disease of measles, the CHU of Marseille North. This is what was revealed by the minister of health Agnes Buzyn in the national Assembly during questions to the government on 26 July, reports the Daily of the Doctor. While the debate on the extension of the vaccination requirement in full swing, this is the first death in France in 2017 due to this disease. The girl, belonging to the traveller community, had not been vaccinated against the virus. An opportunity for the minister recalled in his speech, while the project to impose a vaccination requirement for 11 disease causes of strong opposition, that ""the rate of vaccination coverage for vaccines not mandatory is in the process of being reduced. It is lower than the compulsory coverage required by the world health Organization (WHO) of 95%"". Respiratory distress of The young woman, who showed disorders of respiratory distress intense, had been received in early June at the hospital of Nice.

For the moment, this epidemic is far from reaching the peak experienced between 2008 and 2011, with some 23,000 cases, including 10 deaths. Measles is characterized by the appearance of a fever and red patches on the entire body. It is transmitted by air, and an infected person can infect between 15 and 20 other individuals that are not or have not been immunized. Usually benign, the disease can lead to serious complications such as blindness, pneumonia, or severe diarrhoea. The MMR vaccine (measles, oreillon, rubella) is the best protection against the virus. For the two injections, which are necessary to the efficacy of the vaccine, must be made at the age of 12 months, and then between 16 and 18 months.

"5362","Rome, 7 feb. (AdnKronos Health) - Paradox of measles in Europe. Ever so many children have been vaccinated against the disease in 2018, but it is uneven progress between and within Countries. And this has left growing groups of people likely not protected so as to achieve a record number of citizens affected by the virus in the past year. And' as revealed today, the world health Organization (who), which urges the european States to target their interventions to those places and groups in which persist in the gaps of immunity. In 2018, measles has killed 72 children and adults in the european region. According to the reports of the various Countries, from January to December 2018, (received from 1 February 2019), 82.596 people in 47 of the 53 countries monitored have contracted the measles. In the Countries that have reported the data of hospitalization, nearly two-thirds (61%) of the cases of measles have required a hospitalization. The total number of people infected by the virus in 2018 was the highest this decade: 3 times the total in 2017, and 15 times the records of 2016. The wave of cases of measles in 2018, followed a year in which the european region has reached the coverage's highest ever estimated for the second dose of vaccination against measles (90% in 2017). Always in 2017, why so many children have received the complete series of two doses, according to the vaccination programs in their Countries, since 2000. The coverage with the first dose is slightly increased to 95%, the highest level since 2013. However, these advances are based on the results at the national level that can mask gaps at the subnational level, it is often not recognized until outbreaks occur. ""The framework of the 2018 clarifies that the current pace of progress in raising the rates of immunization will be insufficient to stop the circulation of the measles. While the data indicate a vaccination coverage exceptionally high at the regional level, it also reflects a record number of people affected and killed by the disease. This means that the gaps at the local level and offer an open door to the virus,"" says Zsuzsanna Jakab, Who regional director for Europe. Although vaccination coverage both overall improved in the region, many people remain vulnerable, therefore. The estimated coverage with the second dose of measles vaccine was less than the threshold of 95% in the 34 countries of the Region in 2017. As well as 43 Countries in europe have interrupted the endemic transmission of measles for at least 12 months from the end of 2017. Some of them are also able to limit the spread of the virus after the import of the very few cases in 2017 and 2018, demonstrating that the elimination of the virus is at hand for the entire region. ""Progress in achieving a high national coverage are commendable. However, cannot blind us to the people and places that are still vulnerable,"" says Nedret Emiroglu, director, division for public health Emergencies and disease communicable of the Who european region.",4239,"italy"
"5368","In a few years the state of California has resolved almost completely the problem of the low number of vaccinated against the measles, which had led to a dangerous increase in cases in 2014, thanks to a very similar law to the one approved last year in Italy, and that links the vaccination to the opportunity to enroll in school. As he explains in an in-depth analysis of the New York Times, this solution is allowing you to include the percentage of vaccinated within the safe limits, that enable us to protect even people who for medical reasons cannot be vaccinated. The law proved to be more effective than campaigns to promote vaccination on a voluntary basis, at least for the resolve in the short term, a serious problem that had put at risk the health of millions of people. The outbreak of measles in California began at Disneyland, according to the reconstructions more widespread because of the tourists coming from abroad, the sick in the days of his visit to the theme park. The disease spreads rapidly, and in a little time, had led to at least 159 known cases of measles, a number higher than those usually encountered in a year in the United States. The rapid spread was due to levels below the average in vaccinations, which had exhibited a higher percentage of the population at risk of infection. Measles and vaccine measles is an infectious disease of the respiratory system is caused by a virus, is transmitted by air and is highly contagious. The disease, in addition to a rash, cause coughs, colds and high fever, which can reach 40 °C, and may be the cause of many complications, from pneumonia to encephalitis in otitis media entity. In 2012, according to the WHO, there have been 122mila deaths attributable to measles in the world, about 330 deaths every day. The most recent epidemic in Italy, registered in 2002, has caused the death of six people and led to 15 cases of encephalitis. The low vaccination coverage in our country have also caused an alarming increase in cases of measles in the last few years. The vaccine is the most important resource to be immune from the measles without having contracting the disease and therefore the risks that this entails. As with other vaccines, it is critical that in a population reaches the so-called “immunity of the flock”: if the vast majority of people are vaccinated, the disease cannot spread, and protect, indirectly, also a few that you can vaccinate for various medical reasons. In a sense, getting vaccinated is also a selfless act, because those who do not use a vaccine often has disease of the immune system, therefore it is more exposed to the risks of viral diseases, particularly aggressive. In the case of measles, the medical experience tells us that you reach an immunity of the flock when they are vaccinated between 90 and 95 percent of the people. Below this threshold, an epidemic of measles is far more likely to spread, as happened between 2014 and 2015 in California, and as happened recently in Italy. The case of the California data on The number of vaccinated can often be obtained from the information provided by the schools. In the case of California, educational institutions must send periodically to the health authorities reports on the amount of vaccinated among their members. In 2014, the total number of vaccinated in primary schools was 93 per cent, in the range of 90-95 percent is usually shown to have the immunity of the flock. The problem, however, was the extreme lack of homogeneity throughout California, with areas where the percentage of vaccinated was much lower. The given locale affects a lot more than that overall, because the risk of being infected is related to the number of people who are sick and not vaccinated you have around, not how many have received a vaccine in a radius of thousands of miles. In California in 2014 there were areas with almost all the children vaccinated and the other where there were very few, therefore making it more likely to outbreaks. 70 percent of children lived in counties with percent less than those considered ideal to have immunity, and of the flock. At that time, the rules on vaccination were very loose, a bit like us-until last year. The parents could decide not to vaccinate their children and enroll them in school by presenting a “exemption for personal beliefs”, a certification in which he was said to be opposed to vaccination for religious reasons or other beliefs. In addition, children could be enrolled in school with a sort of conditional: a commitment on the part of parents to vaccinate in the future of their children, but without any particular follow-up checks by schools. This condition is associated with the numerous campaigns of the so-called “no vax”, often opposed to vaccines for urban legends, or as a result of a scientific fraud in medical history recently, had meant that in many counties the number of vaccinated children was too low to ensure the immunity of the flock. After the outbreak began at Disneyland, the Senate of California has passed a new law, which entered into force in 2016, which eliminated all of the “exemptions for personal beliefs” in the admission of children in schools. The law has also made more tight controls on the parents who agree to have their children vaccinated within a certain period of time after their registration at school, expecting a vaccination plan to be completed within six months. The new rules provide for exceptions only for particular medical reasons that make it inadvisable vaccination. Without vaccination certificates schools can admit the children, and since education is compulsory and schools should communicate regularly to the state the number of vaccinated, the possibility of monitoring and maintaining of the immunity of the flock increased significantly. The california law has worked, and in a very short time. In 2016, 97 percent of children lived in counties with schools that have registered a rate of vaccinated over 95 percent. Not only that, 99.5 percent of children must be in schools where the percentage of vaccinated is above 90 percent. The inhomogeneity recorded in 2014 was almost completely resolved, leading to a better immunity of the flock on the territory of california. Obligation and choice At the time of its approval, opponents of the law said that would have influenced the choice of the school where to send their children, and that would have led to exclusion and discrimination. It was not so: even in counties where the percentage of vaccinated was very low there was an increase in vaccinations. The concerns on the fact that the parents could produce fake certificates to prove vaccinations that never happened have been disproved in practice, with very few cases of this type. The law has led to the goal hoped for more children were vaccinated, and the risk of infection from measles is reduced significantly. The analysis of the New York Times cites, for comparison, the policies adopted in Oregon, where there are no special obligations for the vaccinations. Parents can refuse to vaccinate their children, provided that you follow a mini-course online 15 minutes that should them make aware about the risks related to measles and other diseases, and the benefits of vaccination. The result has so far been disappointing: in 2000, almost 100 percent of counties had 95 percent of vaccinated in schools for the children, in 2015, the rate dropped to 30 percent. Especially in periods of great online campaigns that feed the fears related to vaccines, it becomes very difficult to maintain a high rate of new vaccinated with simple information campaigns. Find the right balance in the put obligations or restrictions is just as difficult and, as shown by the tones of the electoral campaign in Italy, it can lead to further complications in understanding the utility of certain measures. As demonstrated by the case of california, the laws that make the necessary vaccinations in order to enroll in school are among the most effective solutions to reverse dangerous cuts in vaccinated and reported to the immunity of the flock. Although it is still early to assess all the effects, so far, the so-called “decreto Lorenzin” promoted by the government Gentiloni and then converted in law by Parliament, approved by the PD and Forza Italia against the M5S and the League) has allowed to increase the vaccination coverage. The data on the performance of the new vaccinations have been encouraging and the majority of immunologists agree on the effectiveness of the measure for public health.",4229,"italy"
"5363","No closure of the department of pediatrics, but an epidemic of measles. Fortunately, at the time, almost entirely overcome. And it is quite reassuring that seeps in from the Foundation of Monza and Brianza for the Child and his Mother (Fondazione MBBM), which, within the San Gerardo Hospital, in addition to obstetrics and Neonatology, directly manages its own the pediatric Clinic. “We have had five cases of infants under one year of age affected by the measles, but now they have all been discharged, "" explains the Director of the pediatric Clinic, Andrea Biondi – there were, moreover, two the most sensitive cases, which have involved children already suffering from diseases onco-hematological. Of these one was discharged – continued – other, as a consequence, he contracted a pneumonia from measles, and is, therefore, still in hospital and kept under constant observation”. The epidemic of measles at the S. Gerardo has done to take a series of mechanisms, which are automatic in a situation of this type. “We have put in place prevention and control strategies for the staff and parents who must attend the sick children – says Biondi – standard procedures and rather articulate, so much more that we are a point of reference for all the territory of the Brianza and the department of pediatrics, is the largest of Lombardy”. The last cases of measles in the brianza area are the umpteenth proof of a national trend of increasing concern. According to the national Institute of Health (Iss) in Italy there have been from the beginning of 2017 already 1500 cases of measles against the 840 in 2016, and 250 in 2015. This is an increase of 450 percent. That is affecting especially the Northern regions of the Country. The average age of those affected by the disease, according to the official statistics, is 27 years. The percentage of hospitalization is quite high (40%), as well as that of the complications (33%). The Italian situation is causing alarm abroad. So much so, that the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (Cdc) in Atlanta, in the United States, has placed our Country in the list of nations at risk for the health. And the american people that, in this period, want to come in Italy, has recommended to wash your hands often, especially before taking them to the face, and avoid physical contact with people who might be sick. But above all, according to the Center of the stars and stripes, the most important thing to do before visiting the Bel paese is one: make sure to be vaccinated against the measles. And it is precisely the questioning of the vaccine as a prevention tool seems to be the main cause of the current epidemic. So much so that in the world there is a real mobilization of the public opinion. With two factions, the pro and the anti-vaccine, on the two sides, diametrically opposed. “People need to understand that getting vaccinated is crucial for themselves, but especially to the weakest social subjects, such as children, I remember, up to 15 months can't be vaccinated against measles, "" says the Director of the pediatric Clinic of S. Gerardo, unfortunately, is due to the lack of the effect of the community, which is crucial in the contrast of the diseases are highly contagious as chickenpox, whooping cough, and measles. Not the case in recent times – continue – many of the sick people who have turned to us young adults”. In Italy the debate on the vaccine is consistently in the top pages of the news these days. Merit or fault of the program of RAI 3 “Report”. That, in the last episode, has aired a report on the possible side effects of the vaccine against the human papillomavirus (HPV), responsible for cancer of the uterine cervix. The tv broadcast was heavily criticized, also by the Italian Society of Pediatricians (SIMPe), and all of the alleged defenders of the public service. Always on the subject of the vaccine, but with a different point of view, it continues to generate controversy, the decision of some public authorities to make compulsory the vaccination of children for entry to kindergarten. Only nests in the case of the Emilia-Romagna region. Up, instead, in the nursery school in the case of the municipality of Trieste. In Lombardia, the regional Council has recently approved a motion that commits the Pirellone to introduce the requirement to be in compliance with the required vaccinations to be able to admit children to the nursery. The question of vaccines will reserve probably other episodes in the next few days. The impression, in fact, is that we are still far from reaching a steady point.

"69106","Measles is a highly infectious disease which can only be controlled by vaccination.  In 2017 the World Health Organization declared that the UK had eliminated measles. However, that elimination status has not been maintained. In this blog, we take a look at the reasons for the change in the UK’s status, and ongoing efforts to protect the population from measles.  Why have we lost elimination status?  WHO defines measles elimination as the absence of circulating measles, in the presence of high vaccine coverage, along with good systems to identify cases of the disease. In countries that have eliminated measles, measles can still occur, but these will be isolated cases that only have limited spread within the community.  The UK initially achieved WHO measles elimination status in 2017, based on data from 2014-2016.  However, in 2018, there was a marked increase in the number of confirmed measles cases, with 991 confirmed cases in England and Wales, compared with 284 cases in 2017. Furthermore, the same strain of measles virus (called B3 Dublin) was detected for more than 12 months across 2017 and 2018. Based on this, WHO determined that the UK could no longer be consider as ‘eliminated’ and that transmission of measles had been re-established.  Why have we seen an increase in measles cases?  Measles remains endemic in many countries around the world and there are currently several large outbreaks in countries across Europe where MMR vaccine uptake has been low. Until measles elimination is achieved globally we will continue to see importations of the measles virus to the UK and in order to limit spread within the UK, it is important to maintain high coverage of two doses of the MMR vaccine in the population.  Cases of measles occur in communities where vaccine uptake is sub-optimal.  Young, unvaccinated adults who have missed out on childhood MMR vaccination are also susceptible.  While coverage of the first dose in the UK has reached the WHO target of 95% for children aged five, coverage of the second dose is at 87.4%. As measles is highly infectious, even small declines in uptake can have an impact, and anyone who has not received 2 doses of MMR vaccine is at risk, particularly those travelling to countries affected by the ongoing, large outbreaks. To ensure more people are protected, it’s important that we focus efforts to increase uptake of the MMR vaccine of the routine childhood immunisation programme as well as catching up older children and young adults who missed out previously.  Herd immunity also plays an important role in protection. When a high percentage of the population is protected against a disease through vaccination, it becomes harder for the disease to pass between people who have not been vaccinated. This is particularly important as not everyone can get vaccinated, but those who can are able to help protect those who can’t. 95% of the population need to be protected to achieve herd immunity.  Measurements of public confidence in the UK vaccine programme are at an all-time high.  What is being done to combat outbreaks of measles?  While there has been an increase in measles over the past three years, it’s important to remember that measles remains uncommon in the UK because of the effective MMR vaccination programme. Before the measles vaccine was introduced in 1968, hundreds of thousands of cases occurred each year.  There is a lot of positive work happening across the health system on combating measles outbreaks and increasing MMR vaccine uptake.  As part of this, the NHS Long Term Plan includes a range of measures to maintain and increase uptake of both MMR doses. These include a fundamental review of the GP contract for vaccination and immunisation, and improved local co-ordination to support improving immunisation coverage in each area which can help target those groups who have low uptake. A check of MMR status for 10 and 11-year olds has recently been added to the GP contract.  The recent Government Green Paper on prevention proposed a vaccine strategy in addition to the implementation of the existing Measles and Rubella Elimination Strategy. The Department of Health and Social Care, working with PHE and NHS England, will deliver this comprehensive strategy in the Autumn.  PHE continues to call for those who missed out on their vaccine at the scheduled time to make an appointment now and we are running a public-facing campaign called Value of Vaccines to help share messages and information on vaccination, including MMR.  Elimination can only be sustained by maintaining and improving coverage of the MMR vaccine. Losing the elimination status is a stark reminder of how important it is that every eligible person gets vaccinated. It provides an opportunity to raise awareness of the potential risks posed by measles, the importance of vaccination and timely reporting of suspected cases to limit further spread.",4167,"uk"

In that case, there will be a lot more difficult to recognize a criminal when you see them, especially if the holes are punched on the mouth or in the eyes, "" says one of the researchers, Michael Mina, at the Harvard Medical School in the united states. In one study, the researchers test the 77 in the non-vaccinated, the Dutch children both before and two months after the date of the diagnosed with the disease in the course of the epidemic, which was ravaging the country in the year of 2013. ALSO, please READ the Disease in children, please READ the PLUS Folkhälsomyndigheten to answer questions about the disease Hard to be back, It was revealed that children had significantly fewer antibodies against the diseases other than the disease, after the onset of the disease than what they had before. This was the case in both of the diseases that are caused by viruses and bacteria. Like influenza, herpes, and chicken pox (a virus), or inflammation of the lungs (bacterial). Also, compared to the 115 adults and children who had not been affected by the disease, there were significant differences. After an infection of the mässlingviruset were between the ages of 40 and 60 per cent, of the variety of antikroppstyperna away. However, when the researchers studied the monkeys showed the same thing. The reason for the antibodies to disappear, say the researchers in the second study, is that the mässlingviruset that can infect and destroy the entire header of the antikroppsproducerande of B-cells and T-memory cells. There are two types of white blood cells which are vital for the immune system's ability to recognize and respond to an infection. The adaptive immune system, however, once again, be on top, even if it takes a period of time. But most of all, it can only be done at the cost of, once again, be exposed to different infectious agents, with all that that entails. All in all, the researchers write, indicate studies, that the measles vaccine is far more dangerous disease than previously thought. A similar effect on the immune system in the context of vaccination against the disease was not observed. POD: this is Why measles with the high speed Of the nyhetspodden paper Aftonbladet to the Daily, we clarify why the measles are on the increase – despite the fact that there is an effective vaccine. * To listen in: > iPhone > Acast > Spotify and Listen to the pod through <U+2B07><U+FE0F> click on the PLAY button, the Facts are as follows: the Immune system-the Immune system can be likened to a highly sophisticated defence forces, who react to virtually any foreign molecules or micro-organisms. Its main purpose is to protect us against various types of infectious diseases. The human immune system can be divided into a nonspecific and a specific part of it. It is the latter which mainly seem to be affected by the mässlingsviruset. The specific part is a training system that is based on your body can quickly react if it is encountered in the same or a very similar infectious agent in the past. In this system, the so - called B- and T-lymphocytes, a crucial role to play. There is a specific system based on the elements of the ""presented"" to the immune system, which responds by activating cells that kill the infectious agent and the body is in contact with an infectious agent, as it can quickly form massive quantities of antibodies. These antibodies can be, for example, then to neutralize toxins from bacteria, or a signal of the undesirable substance (s) and should not be eaten up by other cells.

""There have been several cases of measles in the region, including one declared in the company ""Normaliens"" when soumonce general,"" says the municipality. This viral disease is extremely contagious but it never develops very rarely. It is strongly advised to get vaccinated as a child. The vaccine in two doses protect for life in 99% of cases. ""This is a vaccine that is routinely made at 18 months of age and then a second time in 12 years,"" says Dr. Busquin, a general practitioner in Morlanwelz. ""Most children are therefore supposed to be vaccinated."" Epidemics are therefore rare but can be very violent. ""The last case in my patientele date back to the early 70's. I had several cases in which two individuals who have made a encephalitis : a little girl of 8 years who died a few days later and another who has developed meningitis."" The 70's are very far, but the phenomenon returned in force the last few months.

Approximately 90% of infants are vaccinated, but many children 12 years of age do not receive the reminder. Similarly, more and more parents today are reluctant to vaccination. Don't panic to much, the measles can lead to complications and become fatal in only 0.1% of cases. The symptoms are manifold : fever (flu syndrome), cough, cold, conjunctivitis, and of course rash (pimples, red spots) appearing after a few days.

But for the second a dose that is ten or eleven years old, and that allows a quasi-complete protection, the vaccination is too low in Wallonia and Brussels, it reaches 75% only. This is insufficient to prevent the spread of a disease as contagious as measles,"" said Anne Tilmanne, pediatrician-infectiologist, responsible for the control of infections. During the last two weeks, it was registered in Brussels, 14 confirmed cases of measles, compared to thirteen on the set of the year 2018. In Wallonia, 9 cases have currently been identified. In Flanders, the vaccination is good In Flanders, Geert Top, infectiologist to the agency for the surveillance of infectious diseases (the AZG) tells us that the rates of vaccinations are more important than in the south of the country. ""In 2016, with 96.2% of children had received the first dose. For the second dose, the vaccination rate was still of 93.4 %. The medical school is apparently very effective. It is true that in 2017, a first alert from the WHO about an outbreak of measles, we had to be led to offer a free catch-up vaccination for adults born after 1970, as well as to asylum-seekers who arrived to the home we. A vaccination that is proposed again this year. In 2018, there were in Flanders 34 cases compared to 41 in 2017."" That said, our country seems to be better to contain the disease. With 120 cases in 2018 against 369 in 2017. Sarah Lefevre, a spokesman for the Agency for a Life of Quality states : ""In 2018, there have been 70 cases in Wallonia compared with 298 in 2017."" The WHO reminds us that measles is a serious disease, highly contagious that can be prevented with two doses of a vaccine ""safe and effective"". She deplores the fact that false information about the vaccine are circulating, especially in the rich countries. Measles can cause serious complications and sometimes death. Last year, according to the WHO, measles has caused the death of 136, 000 people in the world. For us, the superior council of health, through its responsible vaccination, infectious diseases physician Yves Van Laethem, will propose to lower the age of vaccination for the second dose against measles.

The minister Beatrice Lorenzin contacted him to ask him how they are dangerous for the most vulnerable children (cancer patients, the immunosuppressed, premature babies with serious and those with congenital metabolic pathologies), diseases that, like measles, should no longer be present, but are returning to the force due to the reduction of vaccinations. ""Those children are in danger of dying, he explained to Bondi to the Corriere della Sera. And this is not a theory, unfortunately this is what is happening"". In the 2017 cases of measles have been five times higher compared to last year (about 800 in total in 2016), 385 only those registered in April.

Every day in the wards of the clinic, which he directs, Andrea Bondi sees kids too small to fight for his life. To reiterate the importance of compulsory vaccination of children for admission to the school, announced by the minister Lorenzin, Bondi recounted the case of a child who is following you. ""For the past two months, unfortunately, I fight every day for the life of a child of seven years, hospitalized in an intensive care unit, suffering from the measles because it came in contact with another child that has been infected. My little patient had had leukemia and was in care from us. With a compromised immune system for the disease was more exposed to the risk of getting the measles. As it has been. It was up to the people around him to protect him. But in his case it did not happen"". The decree on the mandatory vaccinations for access to primary and secondary schools has sparked numerous controversies. To protect their children are exposed, especially parents of children who are ""vulnerable"", such as those suffering from forms of cancer (approximately 1380 children every year in Italy and 780 adolescents, data AIEOP, Italian Association of Haematology and Pediatric onco-haematology). Among them is Angelo Ricci, president of Italian Federation of Associations of Pediatric Oncology. ""Young cancer patients who are undergoing therapies to fight the disease -he wrote in an open letter - as well as those who have undergone a bone marrow transplant, living in conditions of immunosuppression, that is to say, their immune system works less effectively or even not work at all and therefore are particularly vulnerable to viruses and bacteria"". With respect to compulsory vaccination for school admission, the minister of the Faithful, has stressed that it is the responsibility of the parent if the child enters into the school in a healthy way and that it is therefore necessary to be ""punished"" are the parents, through suitable penalties, in cases where they were not made to the vaccines provided for by law. ""Any sanction imposed to the parents will not replace the vaccination, and then will not be able to ensure the health of those children and teenagers who, because of the low and dangerously weakened herd effect, may get sick from the severe to the mere fact of attending schools, meeting places, gyms or even only means of collective transport"". And he adds: ""If the Italian Republic safeguards health as a fundamental right of the individual and collective interest, by taking this position, you violate the rights of the most fragile. My hope is that policy and institutions do not neglect to safeguard the right to a full life to those who, in order to save that same life, struggle every day.""

"1929","In recent weeks, 16 students from a private school, Sainte-Anne, in particular, school average section, have contracted the measles, a highly contagious disease and potentially life-threatening. We have tried to trace the wire from the epidemic. During the last school holidays, Frédérique Pleindoux-Garin has had a bad surprise. ""I've been informed by a mother of a case of measles while the family was living in the Bahamas,"" says the director of the école Sainte-Anne, Saint-Tropez (Var). It shall promptly notify the parents of students by email, before they learn by return of e-mail that other children are sick : in total, 16 cases will be reported in its school, another at a secondary school in the city (6 confirmed, 11 probable). One of them has even been extensively publicized : the family of a student has been placed in quarantine in Costa Rica, where no cases had been recorded since 2014. The case is serious, because measles is not a disease harmless. Twenty times more infectious than the flu, this potentially deadly virus can be spread five days before the onset of symptoms (red spots, conjunctivitis, runny nose, high fever...). Saint-Tropez, three cases have required hospitalization and as a pupil of CM2 has still not returned to his class. ""I took it with philosophy and decline, summarizes Frédérique Pleindoux-Garin, the director. But it is true that as soon as something key children, this takes on a whole different scale."" Poor immunization coverage To halt the epidemic, the staff of the regional agency of health had to write entire arrays to identify leisure centers, kindergartens, sports clubs or zoos visited by sick children. Objective : beat the recall of vaccination with close relatives to stem the spread of the disease. Dozens of families were invited to check their vaccinations, despite the strong reluctance of some parents. ""A mother has even sent for a walk,"" remembers Christine Ortmans, head of the department of sleep and food safety within the regional Agency of health (ARS) of the Paca. She refused to give us information on the cousins visited by their child"" sick. Measles vaccination was not mandatory for children born before January 1, 2018. At the end of summer, the beginning of march, the LRA sent a note to the parents of the école Sainte-Anne to raise awareness of the dangers of measles and the need for a vaccination. Only one of the patients had been properly vaccinated with two doses are needed, according to the agency (PDF). A quarter had received only one dose and three out of four were not vaccinated. As in patient zero, it has not yet been formally identified. There are a lot of people who are refractory to vaccination to Saint-Tropez.Christine Ortmans, head of the department of sleep and food safety within the ARS of Pacaa franceinfo within the institution, ""many children were not vaccinated, it was amazing,"" says Christine Ortmans. Impossible for her to supply us with more details : the director of the school was transferred to the ARS in the list of the sick child, but refused to inform him of the count of children vaccinated or not. ""We are required to verify the vaccinations mandatory with the visit of the mother and child [in kindergarten], who accompanies us"", explains Frédérique Pleindoux-Garin. This is not the case of measles, which is optional for the students concerned. ""There are laws on the freedom of some and of others, is justified-t-it. Parents do what they deem necessary."" We can not throw the stone on the parents who don't want to vaccinate, by fear, I do not feel the right to do so. It is not my role, I am a teacher, not a doctor.Frédérique Pleindoux-Garin, director of the école Sainte-Annea franceinfo The distrust of vaccines is not restricted to the school. In the Paca region, according to the barometer of the regional Observatory of health, only 81.1% of people believe that the vaccine against measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine is effective, compared to 83.7% at the national level. Among parents of children aged 1 to 15 years old living in the region, 32% had ever refused a vaccine recommended by their doctor for their child because they believed this vaccine to be dangerous or useless (compared to 26% at national level). A lot of anti-vaccine evoke a supposed link with autism, on the basis of a 1998 study falsified and largely disproved, which has been the subject of a withdrawal. Others talk about the risks of aluminum, an adjuvant, present in some vaccines, but it is absent in the case of the measles. Within the school, the impossible debate Of what to sow disorder within the school ? ""A lot of parents asked questions and were surprised to see the number of children who had not received the vaccine"", concedes Marion Ginoux-Artigues, delegated to parents, whose children are themselves vaccinated. The issue is still sensitive in this small school of 200 students. We have not intended for debate or information session, because we know how it will end up, it would be sterile. I don't see how we can change opinion each other.Marion Ginoux-Artigues, a delegate of the parents of the students of the école Sainte-Annea franceinfo national Education, it has not occurred since the school Sainte-Anne is a private catholic. The doctors have not immediately reported the case to The beyond vaccination coverage, and the behaviour of health professionals is also debate. In France, ""almost a doctor on eight exhibited a hesitation vaccine of moderate to high leading them to recommend less frequent vaccinations than their male colleagues"", said dr Pierre Verger, of the university of Marseille, in an article devoted to the question. In the case of Saint-Tropez is also raises the question of compliance with the reporting procedures. In a first time, according to the Directorate-general for health, no doctor has reported cases or suspected cases of measles to the authorities, then it is an obligation of the Code of public health. A ""doctor who would have denied the statement could have been the subject of a disciplinary procedure,"" says Jean-Luc Le Gall, the president of the Council of the College of physicians of the Var. Ten days after the first cases, it has finished by sending a letter to the half-dozen doctors of the gulf of Saint-Tropez to remind them of their obligations, which has led to the situation back in order. ""They may have had a biological confirmation,"" defends Jean-Luc Le Gall. The notification form specifies, however, in black and white that the procedure must be respected, without waiting for the result of the tests, which can be obtained in less than three days. Aware of the problem, the Directorate-general of health was already working to simplify the tools of reporting. Saint-Tropez, this period has delayed the identification of the situation and contributed to the occurrence of the event in the school"", regrets the ministry : the first case has declared its eruption on 14 February and the last on 13 march. So much time lost, so that measles requires to start emergency procedures, since it is possible to vaccinate persons who have entered in contact with patients within 72 hours after the last exposure. It is also possible to administer in the six-day medication intravenously to persons for whom vaccination is contraindicated : children under 1 year of age, pregnant women, or immunocompromised individuals. A national target of 95% immunisation coverage, The health challenge is considerable. In France, the number of cases of measles has increased from 519 to 2 788 between 2017 and 2018, which represented the tenth highest growth rate in the world, according to a Unicef study. A decrease was however recorded this year, with 244 cases have been reported since 1 January, compared to 665 last year in the same period. ""The early days of the epidemic took place in homes where very few people are vaccinated,"" recalls Christine Ortmans, who deplores ""the circulation of false information"" about vaccines. This case was she able to change attitudes within the school Sainte-Anne in Saint-Tropez ? Hard to say. No data is available on the number of vaccinations carried out after the discovery of the outbreak. ""I have not had the impression that parents have changed your mind,"" says Marion Ginoux-Artigues. However, it would be possible to eradicate the disease by achieving high vaccination coverage with two doses of 95%, but France has stabilised at around 80%. Compulsory vaccination could reverse the trend. In 2017, noted the OECD, the rate of vaccination of French children aged 1 year was among the lowest in Europe : 9% were not vaccinated, compared to 5% in the countries of the area.",4010,"france"
"3467","That's why we need to talk about: The complications of measles infection are the Problem of measles infection weakens the immune system in the long term, For many people, a measles infection is uncomfortable, but after a few days with a fever, cough, runny nose and classic red rash over. Often, however, complications, which is mainly due to the fact that the measles virus has claimed the immune system significantly. A minimum of six weeks after the disease, the immune system is so weak that it excitation easy to infect different organs. Super infection is called the when a Virus is prepared, the body has diseases for bacteria or any other virus.Typical are diarrhoea, Bronchitis, inflammation of the middle ear or the lung. In some cases, to 0.1 percent of the measles infections, there is even a brain inflammation, post-infectious encephalitis. The makes use of usually four to seven days after onset of symptoms with fever and headache. Consciousness disorders up to coma, can go hand in hand. About ten to 20 percent of those Affected die from it. A further 20 to 30 percent remain permanently damages the Central nervous system. Two recent studies have now revealed why in the case of children who have had measles disease, the risk for various diseases and also for death is significantly increased, and up to five years after the disease. The scientists show that the measles infection, certain cells of the immune system and antibodies will be destroyed. The cells produce antibodies against a pathogen. The body can react in case of re-infection very quickly: Because you know after a previous infection with the pathogen and to form the right antibodies if the same pathogen shows up again. These cells and the antibodies belong to the memory of the immune system: a pathogen in the body, it can respond to the immune system faster and the intruder faster to fend off. Due to a measles infection they are destroyed by immune memory cells, and the body needs only to stand again by the infection to form this anti-body. The statement that a measles infection the immune system is therefore wrong – right is the opposite: A measles infection weakens the immune system and makes the body more susceptible to various pathogens. Vaccination strengthens the immune system In one of the two studies also shows: as a result of vaccination of children against measles, the immune system is not weakened, there is no Immune memory cells will be lost. On the contrary, as a result of vaccination against measles, the immune system is strengthened. There has been no study of whether this effect also in adults occurs, but experts believe that the results also apply to adults. Years after surviving infection can cause a very rare, but incurable late consequence of The subacute sclerosing Panencephalitis (SSPE) occurs six to eight years after the measles disease. You Ill meet, although only four to eleven of 100,000 measles, your history is dramatic: Within a few years, the brain continues to decay. The Affected feel first mental changes, starting build spiritually. There are neurological disturbances follow, until, finally, important brain-life-fail functions, and the Sufferers eventually die. The risk of developing SSPE is significantly increased for people who have had childhood measles. Who fell ill with under five years of age, the probability of SSPE is up to 60 per 100,000 cases.",4008,"germany"

""Chromium defends itself from deadly diseases"" Takes the reaction of Caterina Bini, senator of the Pd and a member of the Health Commission: ""Perhaps we have got it wrong. The minister of health, Grillo has just said not to be opposed to vaccines, but prefer that it is mandatory for measles, but not for chromium. We do not believe to our ears. The chromium, which contains the vaccine for diphtheria, tetanus, acellular pertussis, polio, hepatitis B, and haemophilus influenzae type B, that is, life-threatening diseases or severely debilitating, especially if taken by infants.

The discussion on the topic of prevention is recovery after the dissemination of the data on the increase in cases of measles in the early months of 2017 and the concern for the decline in vaccinations. In Italy increased outbreaks of measles and in the first two and a half months of this year, the cases were less than those of the entire 2016: 700 against 844. From the month of January 2017 has been registered an increase in the number of cases, which have more than tripled: in front of 844 people affected by the disease in 2016, from the beginning of the year have already been registered more than 700 cases, an increase compared to the same period of the previous year, in which there had been 220 cases, of more than 230%. Boom, measles, virologist: ""A disease that is dangerous, children not vaccinated transparency to the greatest"" is playing.... The response of the minister through the War is that ""the trend of measles in the population with vaccination coverage is insufficient to stop the transmission, as happens, unfortunately, in Italy (and for this Who keeps us under observation for two years) is, in fact, in cycles, determined by the accumulation of a sufficient number of individuals not immunized and therefore susceptible. When this number becomes high enough to allow the circulation of the virus, the infection expands until it is limited by the immune barriers of those who have been vaccinated."" And the threshold of coverage of 95% is the limit of balance that prevents the spread of the virus.For the protection of children in kindergartens and in schools, but also the rest of the population is important to focus on immunization.The situation is not to be",3992,"italy"

"3468","Plans for a measles vaccination in Germany to be more specific. At the beginning of may is expected to be a proposal of the competent Federal Minister of health, Jens Spahn (CDU). He has called for mandatory measles vaccinations for children in daycare centers and schools. Also, the SPD is in favour of. The CSU Chairman Markus Söder, however, is skeptical. Among the countries there is currently no unified Position. Some want to wait for the proposal of the Federal government. Next to the Brandenburg Landtag of North Rhine showed-Westphalia's state government is determined to be a compulsory vaccination should be introduced. Currently, the country is exploring, but still. The SPD Chairman Nahles supports Spahns projects. ""I think it is right, in the case of very contagious diseases, such as measles, a vaccination will introduce,"" she said of the ""süddeutsche Zeitung"". It is not only the health of the children, but also to the protection of older people with a weakened immune system from infection. ""Global health threat"" ""The individual freedom has its limits where it endangers the health of many others,"" said Nahles. ""And this is clearly not the case: The world health organization WHO has declared the refusal to allow a shot for the measles recently after all, one of the global threats to Health."" CSU chief Söder advertises, however, for voluntary vaccinations, a vaccination but skeptical. To do this, there is currently no initiative, said the Bavarian Prime Minister on Sunday in Munich. The Coverage should be sufficient so that such measures should not be considered. MORE on THE TOPIC of the experiences of twelve EU countries, Where the vaccination is and how it works measles are highly contagious and can extend in rare cases, even fatal. In addition to the acute disease may occur as a late consequence of inflammation of the brain. The Standing Committee on vaccination at the Robert Koch-Institute recommends that children within the first two years, twice against measles vaccination: for The first Time between the eleventh and 14., the second between the 15. 23. Month. Nevertheless, a compulsion to measles should not be to enforce vaccination easily. The scientific service of the Bundestag, had already noted two years ago on constitutional issues. The experts do not exclude the possibility of a mandatory vaccination for certain diseases to enforce, generally speaking. Brandenburg foray Beyond the legal problem is that the vaccination is done in several steps, and then to take effect. Decided it must be so also about the vaccine and about whether or not there are triple or quadruple shots. Brandenburg was ahead on Thursday. The Parliament called on the red-red state government with a broad majority, to create the conditions to ensure that up to a Federal regulatory solution to a vaccination as a mandatory prerequisite for attending day-care centres and day care. At the same time, the government should introduce an initiative in the Bundesrat. Thuringia's education Minister Helmut Holter (Left party) argued on Sunday that his government supports the Initiative. MORE on THE TOPIC of Germany, Where the measles sick is A vaccination for kindergarten children was more than what had been decided by the Federal government in the last parliamentary term, to stricter rules. Since then, parents who want to send their children to day-care centres need to be able to, among other things, a mandatory vaccination advice prove. Also in this case it was so that the Federal government pretended the uniform Federal framework for the should implement the country then. After a measles outbreak in the state of Schleswig-Holstein, the members of the opposition in Hamburg, the CDU called for a vaccination of all city employees who work with children.

"72107","A measles outbreak in London has reached more than 300 people in the past six months  Infections have mostly been within the strictly Orthodox Jewish Charedi community, where inoculation rates have generally been low  By Ruchira Sharma Monday, 8th April 2019, 8:58 am Updated Friday, 6th September 2019, 3:32 pm  Measles outbreaks in Hackney and Haringey have led to more than 300 cases since October last year (photo: GEOFF CADDICK/AFP/Getty Images)  In brief Hackney and Haringey experienced approximately 322 cases from the beginning of October to 21 March  Hackney Clinical Commissioning Group is running immunisation clinics  Harringey Council says it will continue to work with partners to encourage MMR vaccination  A measles outbreak in north-east London has affected more than 300 people since October of last year.  Hackney and Haringey have seen 322 cases between since the beginning of October, Public Health England told i. In early December, around 60 people had contracted the disease, but since then the number has risen significantly.  Sign up to our daily newsletter The i newsletter cut through the noise Thanks for signing up! Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting...  The cases have mainly occurred among the area's strictly Orthodox Jewish Charedi community, where vaccination rates have historically been low.  Between 2006-2013, the community experienced measles at a rate of 117 per 100,000. The latest outbreak is affecting people at 10 times that rate, and the data suggests it has now reached between 1 and 2 per cent of the approximately 20,000 strong community.  Hackney Clinical Commissioning Group is running immunisation clinics in an attempt to address the issue, with particular focus on education within Charedi communities.  Why now, and why north-east London?  The MMR (Measles, Mumps and Rubella) vaccination is usually delivered in two doses, and Haringey and Hackney as a whole have relatively low rates for completing the process. In 2018, they were at 70.2 per cent and 69.7 per cent.  Those numbers are well below the national average, which is 87.2%. The WHO recommends 95% coverage to ensure herd immunity, the form of indirect protection from infectious disease created when enough of the population is immune.  Israel has seen an outbreak of measles in the past year, recording 3,600 cases since March 2018. Travel between the country and north-east London is common, and believed to have sparked the recent explosion in cases.  Similar circumstances contributed to the measles epidemic in Rockland County, which resulted in the banning of unvaccinated children in public spaces after a state of emergency was announced. The New York Times reported that there had been 153 confirmed cases of measles there since October, primarily among the ultra-Orthodox Jewish communities in the county.  What is measles? Measles is a disease that can lead to serious complications, such as pneumonia and even death. It is caused by a highly contagious virus that is spread through the air by breathing, coughing, or sneezing. It can be avoided by having the (MMR) vaccine which is given in two doses. A spokesperson for Public Health England told i one in every ten people who get the disease end up in hospital with complications and one in every thousand die.  The Charedi community is particularly vulnerable to measles as its vaccination levels are much lower than in the general population. This has been attributed to an anti-vaccination movement in the US, stemming in part from a distrust of secular media, and strong religious views that can come into conflict with science.  Many in the community have been fighting against the trend for a number of years. A Stamford Hill GP, Dr Joseph Spitzer, spoke to the Jewish Chronicle in 2017 about his efforts to combat the issue, which included hiring a Charedi nurse at his surgery to improve take-up. That nurse, Naomi Freeman, had previously been employed by Hackney Public Health in a similar role, where she said she had improved vaccination rates in part of the community from 54 to 87 per cent.  Dealing with the outbreak  Public Health England has written to local GPs, Orthodox Jewish independent schools and nurseries, and children's centres to raise awareness of the outbreak. Leaflets are being distributed in both English and Yiddish, and the CCG is running immunisation clinics.  Dr Anita Bell, a consultant at Public Health England's local Health Protection Team, told i: ""Measles spreads very easily among anyone who has not had two doses of MMR, particularly children, and this is why large outbreaks can occur in local communities. Last year in London, the majority of measles cases were in children aged one to nine years old followed by teenagers and young adults.  Rates of MMR vaccination in Haringey and Hackney were far lower than nationally (photo: GEOFF CADDICK/AFP/Getty Images)  Rabbi Avrohom Pinter, chairman of the Orthodox Jewish Health Forum and principal of the Yesodey Hatorah Senior Girls’ School, said he was hoping to introduce lessons on immunisation within the curriculum before 2020.  Responding to the statistics, he said that the councils were ""over the worst of it"" and compared to a year ago, uptake for vaccines had improved. He added there was still more improvement that needed to be seen however.  He pointed to the mass spread of misinformation and ongoing belief in Andrew Wakefield's 1998 research falsely linking the MMR vaccine to autism. Rabbi Pinter explained that within the community were groups of people specifically campaigning against vaccination and it's this influence that needs to be addressed, which could be done through education.  He added that many also considered measles to be a low-threat illness, therefore not realising the benefits of vaccination for the community.  What do the councils think?  Local councils said they were working on promoting the vaccine. Hackney Councillor Feryal Demirci, Cabinet Member for Health, Social Care, Transport and Parks, told i: ""Immunisation and vaccination is commissioned by NHS England but I am really proud of the amazing response by our local health partners to mobilise quickly to respond to the recent outbreak - by working closely with Public Health England and funding extra clinics across the borough.  ""There has been an improvement in uptake over the months that the extra clinics have been provided and thanks to the efforts of staff within GP practices. There are also an extensive range of programmes to inform parents about the safety and effectiveness of the MMR vaccination. We will also be running a campaign to remind families of the importance of keeping up to date with childhood immunisations.""  A spokesperson for Haringey Council told i: “As a community we can all help to stop the spread of measles – the most powerful way of doing this is by ensuring our young residents receive the MMR vaccine.""  ""As a council, we will continue to work with partners to ensure the right guidance is available and that the vaccine is accessible to the community.”  Dr Bell added: ""Protecting your children with two doses of the MMR vaccine is the best way to ensure they are not at risk of catching measles, mumps or rubella. The first dose is given around their first birthday and the second just before they start school, however it's never too late to get immunised.",3975,"uk"

In April 2017 at the earliest, on the death of a young man at 17 years of age, after pneumonia, in bilateral, he was the first one in many years brought on by the measles. The girl was not vaccinated. The disease, which was largely eradicated in the Uk since 1994, and for whose disposal it had been recognized by the World Health Organization (WHO), in the Summer of 2016, it is now set to come back to Europe, thanks to the parents who choose not to vaccinate their children. Even though there are a few ""movements, the hesitation, the doctrine of Grace, Stevens, Uk, is one of the european countries with the highest rate of vaccination with two doses. Even so, death from measles has returned to the place of the highly infectious disease on the agenda, to open up the topic of vaccinations. To date, the director-general of Health, Francis George, called on the people to trust in science. Among the voices critical of the choice of non-vaccinating children is a pediatrician, Mario Cordeiro, who lamented the neglect of the parents who don't vaccinate their children, whereas they should be held accountable for the consequences of their actions. Symptoms of the measles, the description of the symptoms of the disease, the DGS states that the virus of measles is transmitted by direct contact with infectious droplets, or by the spread in the air when an infected person coughs or sneezes.

That's nonsense.”  Doctors have confirmed 31 of the confirmed patients have not been vaccinated against measles. The vaccination status of four others who were infected is unknown.  Before vaccination, 400 to 500 people in the US died of measles each year, 50,000 were hospitalised and 4,000 developed brain swelling that can lead to deafness as a result of the disease.  The measles vaccine has been part of routine innoculations for American children for decades and the disease was declared eliminated in the country in 2000.

Around 350 cases were identified in the US last year.  Officials are still not sure where the latest US outbreak began, although it has been speculated patients may have been exposed to the disease in the Portland area.  The number of parents refusing to have their children vaccinated in the US remains small, although research shows the “anti-vaxxer” movement is growing.  A government study found the number of children under two years old who have not received any vaccinations has quadrupled since 2001, up from 0.3 per cent to 1.3 per cent.  Researchers have identified communities across the US where the risk of infection from preventable childhood diseases is higher because parents are refusing to immunise their children.

"74107","A MUM has released shocking pictures of her baby daughter in hospital covered in a measles rash and with her eyes swollen shut - and blasted anti-vaxxers for letting it happen.  Baby Alba Moss, from London, was in the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital in central London for more than a week earlier this month.  5 Alba's eyes were swollen shut for four days after developing measles Credit: Jilly Moss/Supplied  Her mum Jilly Moss told how Alba hadn't had her measles vaccination yet as the first dose of the MMR jab (measles, mumps and rubella) is only given at around 13 months old.  Even then you need follow up doses around three years old, as just one dose does not fully protect against the illnesses.  She told Fabulous Digital in an exclusive interview: ""She was one on April 1 and was very poorly with a high temperatures of more than 40.  ""We took her back and forth to the doctors and she was then rushed to A&E in an ambulance.""  5 She suffered a horrific rash on her back as a result of the illness Credit: Jilly Moss/Supplied  ""Floppy and unresponsive"", Alba was diagnosed with suspected measles.  ""By this point her eyes were swollen shut she couldn’t open them for four days,"" her mum continued.  ""She continued to deteriorate the doctors wanted to rule out other illnesses like meningitis, Kawasaki (which causes a rash and affects the lymph nodes) and so on.  ""She was extremely poorly and needed oxygen and antibiotics to help.  ""Her body swelled up if it wasn’t for the care of the doctors and nurses we believe she would not turned the corner to recovery.  ""Her body was too little to fight this alone.  ""Anti-vaxxers believe all she needed was a dark room vitamin A.""  5 Jilly, Richard and baby Alba before she fell sick Credit: Jilly Moss/Supplied  She added: ""She would have she would have died if we had kept her at home to fight this alone.  ""She needed to be tube fed she couldn’t swallow and she was so dehydrated the doctors couldn’t take her blood. She was tube fed for eight days.  ""I am so adamant that people need to see how poorly she was.  ""Before this she has been a very well baby.  ""We worry for the future and the lasting effects all we can do is hope and pray that she will be okay and she won’t have anymore complications.  ""Her cough is still very bad so she will be monitored to make sure her chest stays clear so there’s no risk of pneumonia.""  5 Alba was a well baby before falling poorly, her mum told Fabulous Digital Credit: Jilly Moss/Supplied  In her shocking Facebook post, which has been shared 27,000 times, Jilly - who confirmed to Fabulous that Alba was better - said: “Posting these heartbreaking images of our beautiful baby girl who contracted measles is extremely difficult.  “She was too young for her MMR vaccination when she got sick which meant she has had to fight this killer virus with no immunity.  “Measles is not just a rash it can cause blindness, encephalitis and pneumonia.  “We need to do more people. Get your children vaccinated.”  She spoke as The Sun revealed the number of cases of measles shot up a terrifying 300 per cent worldwide in the first three months of 2019, the UN has warned.  The truth is this all could have been prevented if the protection layer of older kids above Alba had been vaccinated. Jilly Moss  Fear is now growing over the impact anti-vaxxers are having on public health.  Measles is highly contagious and can be entirely prevented by having the jab - but increasing numbers of parents are shunning the vaccination.  Jilly continued in the post: “The MMR does not cause life threatening issues like measles does.  “Your babies might feel under the weather for a day or so but believe me you’d accept that over what we have been through.  ""It has been absolutely horrific watching our daughter fight this with her eyes swollen shut for four days.  ""She has been in the dark, scared with a high fever that lasted for over two weeks.  “In hospital she has been scanned, X-ray-ed, poked, prodded, bloods taken, lumbar punctures done, cannulas fitted, swabs taken, ECG, obs done every 20 mins, tube fed, on a drip, oxygen, pumped full of drugs, anti-inflammatory pain relief antibiotics... you name it she’s had it.  5 Alba was in hospital for eight days and underwent repeated medical procedures Credit: Jilly Moss/Supplied  “The truth is this all could have been prevented if the protection layer of older kids above Alba had been vaccinated.""  She urged parents to ""educate themselves"" about measles. ""Do whatever you need to do because without the care of Chelsea and Westminster doctors our beautiful baby would not be here today.""  The World Health Organisation (WHO) said: ""Preliminary global data shows that reported cases rose by 300 per cent in the first three months of 2019, compared to the same period in 2018.""  It said that cases have been rising for two years.  In fact, the organisation warned that rates of measles had hit a decade high across the UK and Europe earlier this year.  ""While this data is provisional and not yet complete, it indicates a clear trend. Many countries are in the midst of sizeable measles outbreaks, with all regions of the world experiencing sustained rises in cases,"" a WHO spokesman said.  What is measles? WHO has said that measles cases have jumped up by 50 per cent in the last year. It's a highly infectious viral illness that can sometimes lead to very serious complications. It can cause things like pneumonia and encephalitis - both of which can kill or leave people seriously disabled for the rest of their lives. Now, experts are calling for measles vaccinations to be made mandatory in certain countries. It's given in two doses as part of the NHS childhood vaccination programme. The first jab is given to kids at around 13 months old, while a second dose is administered at around three years, four months. There is no link at all between having the MMR vaccine and autism - even in children who have other risk factors for the condition, scientists confirmed back in March. That's the conclusion of a nationwide study of all children born in Denmark to Danish-born mums between 1999 and 2010. Last week, we revealed that anti-vaxxer parents were holding ""measles parties"" to give their kids the deadly virus.

"13100","The unusual number of cases of measles, which have led health officials to stress the importance of vaccination. Since the beginning of the year that you were established more than two dozen people with the same symptoms. As the spread of the measles? Measles is a viral infection which is highly infectious and is spread to others through word of mouth. breath, coughing, and sneezing. What are the symptoms? A high fever (usually higher than 38,5°), cough, conjunctivitis, and pinpoint red spots on the body are some of the symptoms of the disease. They may also appear white spots on the mucosa of the mouth (known as Koplik's spots), which usually precedes the red (rash). What is the best way to prevent measles? The best way to prevent measles is through vaccination. This is a vaccine (VASPR) is free of charge and have been integrated into the National Programme on Immunization in 1974. The people who were born prior to that date, and that they have already contracted the measles, they are also protected. Experts warn, however, that the protection of a case or the other), it is not, but for those of you who have had the disease or is vaccinated, but the symptoms, and the risk is much lower. For the vaccine to be mandatory? No, but it is the most effective way to prevent the disease, that by the year 2016 until it has been considered to be eradicated in the Uk by the World Health Organization. In the Uk, the majority of parents continue to vaccinate their children, which is the ratio of the hedging accounts for around 95 per cent), but the doctors have found that there are more and more families to join in with the movements and anti-vaccination. In the case of measles, and these changes began at the end of the last century, in the wake of a study that linked the mmr vaccine (measles, mumps, and rubella) in the case of autism. A study was false false false. Find out more about the National action Plan for Immunization, here, and here, the information that is published by the Directorate-General of Health, says those Who come into contact with the disease, you can vaccinate yourself? Yes, but you will have to do it within the next 72 hours. Measles can kill. It is not common and in the vast majority of cases, the disease develops in a positive way. But in more serious situations, the clinical picture can progress to pneumonia or encephalitis, which can cause damage to the brain or even lead to death. At this time, among the cases which have already been confirmed, including that of a 17-year-old, who is currently in hospital in a critical condition at the Hospital of D. Estefania, in Lisbon, portugal. There is a report to provide an account that does not have a full course of vaccine. When should I get the vaccine? According to the plan, which is currently in force, the children take the first dose at 12 months of age and the second between five and six years of age and older. Faced with the current framework, the Directorate-General of Health, it is envisaged that the first dose is prior to nine months of age and older. “Parents need to think about if it should prevail, - the right to decide on the vulnerability of their children or the duty to protect them”, san Francisco George, director-general of Health. We are faced with an epidemic? No, because the majority of the Portuguese people, who were born before 1974 or had a disease or was born after that date, that is in the vaccine. Even so, the number of cases which have already been identified from the beginning of the year, it is higher than that registered by the health authorities over the last 10 years. There are other countries to register cases? Indeed, Since the beginning of the year, of which at least 14 european countries have reported measles outbreaks. The list is led by Romania, with more than four thousand cases since the middle of last year. Switzerland, Sweden, france, Austria, Belgium, brazil, Bulgaria, France, Germany, italy, and Spain are among the countries that are also experiencing outbreaks.",3854,"portugal"
"14101","(The article was originally published in the April 17, 2017, in the wake of the cases of measles in the Uk in the year Since the beginning of the year have been reported in the Uk, with 26 cases of measles, most of which in the last 10 years combined. The numbers point to an “outbreak” of measles. Although you dismiss out of hand the hypothesis that “an epidemic of huge magnitude,” the director-general of Health, anticipated that the number of cases to rise in the next few days. In the Face of the growing scale of the problem, which is reflected in the greater concern is with the families of the Observer, went in search of the answer to nine key questions about the disease. What is the measles? Measles is a viral infections the most contagious, usually benign, and that it would heal in a few days. In some cases, it can become serious or even life-threatening. However, it is a disease, with the possibility of deletion, since the data communication is made between people, and there is a vaccine that is very effective, which is available free of charge. The complications arising from the infection with this virus is rare in well-nourished children, but in some situations it may be very severe: encephalitis (infection of the brain), or pneumonia. And there's still half a very serious, and rarer, still, in the Panencefalite Cholangitis Sub, which is the result of an infection in the brain, which is where the virus lies dormant until reactivated. It occurs in one out of 100 billion cases. The disease is usually more severe in adults than in children. What are the symptoms of measles? Measles, which has a variety of symptoms at different stages of life. In the first phase, the so-called period of prodrómico or animal to get a fever (higher than or equal to 38.° C), conjunctivitis, congestion, a runny nose and a cough. Also, in the first few days you might be out of the Koplik's spots, small white spots on the oral mucous membrane (inside of the mouth next to the molars). Between the third and the seventh day is the usual appear on the skin patches of reddish (rash maculopapular). These small bubbles begin to appear on the face and spread on the trunk and legs, staying for four to seven days. The clinical criteria in order to classify the event as a measles are a fever and rash maculopapular, together with at least one of the following: cough, rhinitis or conjunctivitis. But only if it is confirmed in the case where the person, in addition to meet these clinical criteria, the positive in the laboratory tests carried out by the National Institute of Health Dr. Ricardo Jorge. How it is transmitted? Measles is transmitted by contact, person-to-person through the air by droplets or aerosols (coughing, for example). And the people are not vaccinated, and who have never had chickenpox have a high likelihood of contracting the disease. Those who are vaccinated or have had measles in early childhood or adolescence may develop the disease, but the consequences are much less severe. The incubation period of the disease is usually from 10 to 12 days, but may vary between 7 and 21 days, and, in adults, the incubation period is longer than that in children. The transmission period starts from four days before until four days after the appearance of the spots on the skin. The DGS states that “the transmission is at a minimum after the 2nd day of the rash”. In the case of a patient immune-compromised and the period of infectiousness may be prolonged. As it is its own reason for existing? Although it is a disease with potentially severe measles, as with many other diseases, it does not have a specific treatment. Except in the most severe cases, the treatment goes by, the home and the therapeutic measures to lower the fever and relieve symptoms such as nasal congestion, or cough. Who is to be protected against this disease? No one is 100% protected, but vaccination is the primary prevention measure against measles. The VASPR (measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine is also part of the National Programme on Immunization, and is free of charge. The first dose is given at 12 months of age (with an efficiency of 95%, and the second one is between five and six years old (which is used to boost the first dose). The children, who had more than six years ago when it introduced the new National Program of Vaccination should be vaccinated with the VASPR between 11 and 13 years of age, as was the case up to the new program. In addition to these, the persons who have been vaccinated in their childhood, they are also immune to those (usually of more than 40 years of age) who have had chickenpox in the past. The vaccine, itself, does not guarantee that a child or adult becomes infected, it reduces the risk of complications. Infants up to the age of 12 months should be vaccinated? For now, there is no indication to do so. “We have to listen to the pediatricians, who specialize in infecciologia, and teachers, and there is still no decision,” he said, on Monday evening, Francis, George, when he was asked by a journalist. The director-general of Health, said: “the children will have the protection that your mother gave them up to the age of nine months. There is also a circular to the antibodies passed from the mother. For this reason, the children, before the six months are rarely in infectious diseases”. At this point, is also a pediatrician and the director of the department of infecciologia, Hospital of D. Estefania, in Lisbon, Maria Joao Brito, said that the “under 12 months and children can make with a vaccination and in some exceptional cases, in situations of epidemic,” which is not the case that we are living at the present time, and in the Uk. “At this point, there is no epidemic of measles in the Uk. There was an outbreak of the measles.” Also, in the document “National Programme for the Elimination of Measles,” of the DGS, it says, “the vaccination between 6 and 12 months, in response to the travel of the post-exposure or in the context of supplemental immunization (reduction of susceptible and/or control an outbreak) will only be made on the advice of the DGS, the Health Authority or prescription of a medical practitioner”. What is the origin of the present outbreak? On the origin of the outbreak, which has essentially two focuses, Lisbon and the Algarve, san Francisco's George did not give details, but said that “our relations are very close links with France”. “Every day there are thousands of people there, and the French who cross the border, and we have a lot of French people living in the Uk, and all of these problems have consequences in terms of the health of the public,” he said, a few minutes after he said that, the reality of parents who don't vaccinate their children, it is very much evident in countries such as France. In the first case of measles has been identified in a person who has traveled to Venezuela, where they have contracted the disease. And the second, in the Algarve, portugal, a child of 11-month-old (not vaccinated). This is a child of the Portuguese “would have been catch by a close family member who lives in another country of the European Union, which came to the Uk and now have returned to their place of origin,” he said, at that time, the director general of the health, Grace Freitas, of the DN. However, in the last few days in Lisbon, have been reported in a further six cases, a child of 13 months, you do not have the vaccine, which was admitted to the Hospital de Cascais, at the end of the first quarter, and from there spread to the four part-time employees who are vaccinated do not have very severe symptoms, and a 17-year-old who was admitted to the hospital. At this time, the young woman sets in the worst case. As the Shuttle moved forward at the end of the week, the 17-year-old has already been transferred to the D. Estefânia, where he is in intensive care, in a room with negative pressure and isolation. The young woman is in “very serious” and “shaky,” according to the update performed at the hospital on Tuesday morning. All in all, there is, at this time, 26 cases: 21 is confirmed, and the five under review at the Institute, mr. Ricardo Jorge. The vaccination for measles in the Uk, and in the course of the disease Until 1974, when all the children had the measles. The vaccination will be held for measles in the Uk was initiated in 1973, with the introduction of the monovalent vaccine against measles (ANC) in the National Program of Immunization. This year has been a campaign for vaccination among the children aged 1 to 4 years of age, which was in force until 1977. In 1987, the VAS has been replaced by the VASPR (measles, mumps epidemic, and rubella vaccine), which is recommended at 15 months of age and older. But the coverage was not enough to stop the epidemic, in 1987-89, when it was reported to the health authorities in the 12,000 cases and 30 deaths. In 1990, he was introduced the second dose of the vaccine, VASPR, by the age of 11 to 13 years of age, but it was not enough to compensate for the regional differences in vaccination coverage. In 1993-94 he returned to the track an epidemic, with nearly 3,000 reported cases. In 2000, the second dose of the vaccine was brought forward to 5-6 years of age and older. The National Programme on Immunization in 2012 and looks ahead to the first dose from 15 to 12 months of age and older. Currently, the vaccination coverage is above 95 percent, as indicated in the director-general of Health, in an interview on Antena 1, Monday, “97, 98 or 99% of the population,” it is immunity because prior to 1974, all of the children had the measles. Therefore, all adults who have not been vaccinated have had the disease, reducing a lot the risk of a return of the disease, and, by contracting, diminish the effects. In 2006, the world health organization has certified to the elimination of measles and rubella in the Uk. However, in the first four months of this year, there were more notifications of cases of measles between 2006 and 2014 (in 19 cases, almost all of them are imported). The DGS said that of the 21 cases reported, the other five are to be included in the analysis) were reported, especially among people not vaccinated. What is the epidemiological situation in Europe. In addition to the Uk, there are 13 european countries with notifications of cases of measles since the beginning of the year in Romania (4.025 cases and 18 deaths). In October of last year, in a meeting that was the subject of measles and rubella, it was found that of the 53 countries of the european region of the World Health Organization, 24 declared that they had achieved the goal of elimination of measles, and 13 others were said to be on its way to the target.

The risk of taking the disease home from abroad, Vaccination against measles is part of the MMR vaccine, that is offered to all children in the childhood immunisation programme. Have you not gotten the vaccine and are therefore not immune, there is a risk that you become infected abroad and then infect others when you come home to Denmark. Therefore, the vaccine is important, says Peter Henrik Andersen, who is afdelingslage at the Department of Infektionsepidemiologi and the Prevention of SSI. - The problem is that not everyone has embraced the vaccine. This means that the unprotected risk to take the disease home to Denmark, if they are out to travel, he says. In Denmark, there are shown three cases of measles in 2016. All the corridors there was talk about the infection abroad, and was not detected on the infection in Denmark. - We have basically gotten rid of measles as a public health problem in Denmark. It is seen virtually only when it is imported from other countries, says Peter Henrik Andersen. - But those who do not vaccinate their children, benefitting from those who do, for it is them that is the cause of the disease is nearly removed in Denmark. 13 deaths since January of last year In Europe, there is now a large outbreak of measles in Romania.

In the period there is registered 13 deaths due to the disease. - There is extensive travel in Europe, and therefore there may be persons with measles in Denmark.

""That's why all who visit a daycare center or school to be vaccinated against measles. Who is admitted, must prove."" Who'll care now, had the evidence until 31. July of next year later. ""All parents should be able to be sure that your child will not be infected with measles and are at risk."" Proposal by Jens Spahn: Well, the SPD supports mandatory measles vaccinations Spahn had announced proposals for a vaccination compulsory for may. The SPD also supports mandatory measles vaccinations for children in daycare centers and schools. Measles are highly contagious and can extend in rare cases, even fatal. The proof should be according to the report, the vaccination certificate or Vaccination certificate. ""Who can't be vaccinated for medical reasons, you must also prove with a medical certificate,"" said Spahn of the newspaper. Children without Vaccinations will be from Kita-visit excluded. ""Finally, children under ten months may not be vaccinated and, thus, are particularly vulnerable to are in day-care centres.""

This would be initiated by the health authorities. Andrea Nahles indicated their support of Spahn is that there is no cost incurred by the individual citizen, through the compulsory vaccination. ""The pay health insurance,"" the Minister said to the newspaper. ""The measles vaccine costs about 60 Euro. A measles infection, with the possible result of a multiple of diseases, however, more expensive."" Spahn had announced proposals for a mandatory vaccination for the month of may.

The SPD-health expert, Hilde Mattheis, however, stressed: ""I can't imagine that the SPD will wave the design in such a way."" Each state could adopt a mandatory vaccination.

""It's about to make the most of every visit to the doctor to check the vaccination status and to vaccinate,"" said Spahn. Also, the public health service should play a stronger role: ""He could offer to schools and day care centers vaccinations."" From the point of view of the EU Commission a vaccination compulsory is not a panacea to curb measles and other infectious diseases. ""Forced is not the only solution,"" said Vice-President Jyrki Katainen at last the German press Agency and other European media in Brussels. ""It can work in some countries, but other forms of organisation of vaccination appear to be equally effective."" Recently published data show that around seven per cent of school beginners are not protected in Germany against measles. In the decisive second vaccination against the highly contagious Virus, only Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and Brandenburg, achieve the target rate of at least 95 percent of the vaccinated children. The show went out at the school entrance examinations in 2017, data collected by the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) published in Berlin on Thursday. Spahn said the ""Bild am Sonntag"": ""I want to eradicate the measles. But not 93, but at least 95 percent of two measles must have vaccinations. This ratio, we do not reach, despite all the campaigns and good Appeals easy."" Proven the risks of vaccination are admittedly much lower than the risks of a disease. This applies particularly in the case of measles. ""Incidentally, The very rare vaccine damage is to be legally compensated."" Spahns draft will be voted according to the report, currently in the government. He assumes that the Bundestag will decide this year about it.

By way of example, the head of the WHO, has called attention to the fact that the United States has been to 1,500 cases of measles in the first seven months of this year. ""There are communities where the immunization rate is very low, and the virus spreads very quickly,"" he said. In the meeting, the experts discussed also the current outbreak of polio type 2 in both Afghanistan and Pakistan, as well as in the Western Pacific, especially the Philippines, where the appearance of new cases is considered to be cause for alarm. As the positive results, the group of experts pointed out that the polio virus is type 3 and will soon to be declared eradicated worldwide. The results of the new vaccine against the Ebola in the Democratic Republic of Congo (RDCongo), have also been reported, with a positive attitude.

Friday by noon for 50 is not exposed had been taking the vaccine. Exceptional infectious disease Sjöström sees the situation of the local epidemic risk. It can pose a threat to areas where there is low vaccination coverage. He does not believe, however, that the measles epidemic could extend to the whole country. Similarly, estimates THL, as the vaccine coverage against measles in Finland is really good. Luoto situation is another: there's only 75 percent have been vaccinated against measles.

"5379","The Times attacks the government M5s-League, accusing the two parties that defines “populist” to be responsible for the increase in cases of measles in the United Kingdom. The idea was born from the alarm launched by Public Health England (Phe), the executive agency of the ministry of Health, the british, who spoke of the “crash national” about the increase of cases. The british doctors speak of the contractions of the measles “mainly related to imports from Europe,” and then warn the vacationers direct in Romania, France, Greece and Italy. So on the columns of the newspaper of London columnist David Inauguration blames the M5s and the League because “they want to cancel the law that makes mandatory some vaccines for children under 16 years old”. But at the same the United Kingdom, the obligation of vaccination is not provided, because the Department of Health prefers to act “in the context of a system of informed consent“, as explained in the number of Fq-Millennium dedicated to vaccines. To the alarm of London has responded to the minister of Health, Giulia Grillo: “The vaccination coverage against measles reached an average in Italy of 92%. Regarding the alarm launched in the Uk, we'll speak with the british authorities“. According to the data, cases of measles diagnosed in England in the first half of 2018, are more than double all of those recorded in 2017. “It's really discouraging if we think of how we were close to the complete disappearance of the disease,” said Helen Stokes-Lampard, president of the royal College of physicians. According to the data released by Phe, the last year in Europe were registered, 20 thousand cases of measles, with 48 deaths starting from 2016. And in 2018, instead of the boom occurred in England, with 643 cases in the first six months, compared to 274 recorded throughout the 2017. For this dr. Maliha Moten writes that “measles remains a threat to the population of the United Kingdom”. From these assumptions, the attacks of Inauguration in the Times: one of the reasons for the increase in cases of measles in the Uk is the campaign against vaccination conduct by the parties, populist in power now when they were the opposition”. “The rejection of the medical opinion in general is part of the mentality populist,“ continues the columnist. That, however, in his analysis uses the data referring to 2015, when the vaccination coverage against measles in Italy was 85%. The data of April 2018 provided by the ministry of Health say that now is the ascent of 91.6%, after which the topic has become of national interest and has been introduced on the mandatory attendance at the schools with the law Lorenzin. The coverage is still below the optimal to ensure the immunity of the flock, estimated by the world health Organisation to 95%, but is virtually identical to the English one, recorded at 92 percent. It is true that Italy, according to data from the Who in 2017, has had over 5 thousand people infected. With regard to the vaccination coverage, the in England, however, has the same levels now achieved in our Country, without having introduced the obligation of vaccination. After that in 2013, an explosion of cases of measles had frightened the United Kingdom, the government responded by launching an information campaign targeted. The aim, we read in the official reports, was achieved in three months. The minister Grillo has said that he will speak with the british authorities and the measles, he pointed out, “we will continue to work for the protection of the community. In fact, the high level of vaccination coverage remains the goal to maintain in order to achieve the immunity of the flock”. “However – he added – that in Germany, for example, the vaccination coverage against measles is 97%, yet there is no compulsory vaccination”. With the law on the duty in Italy, has noted, however, “the result of the level of vaccination coverage there has been and is important. Measles, however, you have still got work to do: not, however, by applying sanctions, but by making it clear to the citizens how much the vaccines are important and how crucial is the voluntary membership“. Today, he continued Cricket, “if many citizens do not vaccinate or do not vaccinate their children is because they have legitimate doubts that has not been clarified by the responsible institutions. It is therefore essential to improve the information and services vaccine. It is clear – he concluded – that this does not resolve the question of the fringe extreme anti-vaccine, but these affect a small percentage of the population”.",3606,"italy"
"3472","Berlin - The mandatory vaccination is coming! The far-reaching bill of the Federal Minister of health, Jens Spahn (CDU), was approved by the Federal Cabinet. The measure responds to the last dramatic increase in the number of measles cases ( DAY 24 reported ). As of March 2020, the measles vaccination is compulsory. As of March 2020, the parents must demonstrate, prior to the inclusion of their children in a nursery or school that they are vaccinated. The vaccination also applies to childminders and staff in day-care centres, schools, medical and community facilities such as Refugee shelters. In the case of violations, fines of up to 2500 euros. Jens Spahn took the penalties in the run-up to the conversation (DAY 24 reported). Unvaccinated children may not be included in day-care centres. Children and staff at the time of the entry into force of the law in March in a nursery, school or community Agency, must have the vaccination no later than 31. July 2021 to demonstrate. Verified by the Vaccination card, the yellow child examination booklet, or by a medical certificate, stating that you had the measles already. Against measles is usually vaccinated twice in combination with Mumps, rubella, and, where appropriate, chickenpox. The first vaccination should be between the age of 11. and 14. Month of life are given, but no earlier than nine months. The second vaccination should be exercised at the earliest four weeks after the first vaccination and at the latest at the end of the second year of life, 23 months, given. It is important to ensure a safe and complete protection. ""We want to keep all the children from a measles infection,"" said Federal Minister of health, Jens Spahn on Wednesday. Therefore, you want to introduce the compulsory Vaccination. Background one of the world's measles increase in diseases. In Germany were reported in the past year 543 cases. In the first months of this year, more than 400 cases. According to the Cabinet of Ministers must now agree to the Bundestag. In the Federal Council, no consent is, according to the Ministry of health is necessary.

"3474","Measles should be eradicated. According to the official, the vaccination against measles is the only way that can rescue from the deadly measles complications. Vaccine critics look at the measles problem rather holistically and thus from different viewpoints. So natural healing reports, for example, science Doctors from their everyday practice do very different things about the measles than the purely conventional medicine oriented Physicians. Measles is usually not a problem measles is a contagious childhood disease, which is associated with a skin rashes, extreme fatigue, like to cough, and bouts of Fever are. In most cases, the measles run without problems. Symptoms such as otitis media, and croup more similar cough, although quite often, however, will be counted to the complications and not to the usual measles symptoms.

This can happen if the complications in pneumonia Express (measles pneumonia), which will not survive in the individual case. This is, however, particularly in the industrialized Nations, very rarely and certainly not least, those patients who had previously already had a weakened immune system. Therefore, countries deaths occur in the poorer third world as a result of a measles disease more frequently. The children in these countries are often malnourished and, consequently, with a weak body's defense force equipped. Not infrequently, they suffer, in addition, already in serious diseases such as Malaria or tuberculosis. An additional measles infection, which naturally weakens the immune system even further, it is in these children is understandably an enormous danger to life. Measles vaccination increases risk of measles complications of measles encephalitis, a brain inflammation is a other measles complication, which occurs just as the inflammation of the lungs – in the industrial Nations are extremely rare. Reported in the literature Affected Numbers vary considerably (from 1 : 1000 to 1 : 15.000). The reason could be the following: The frequency of measles complications increases with age of the measles patient. Measles, however, were once – before mass was vaccinated – a children's disease that was preferred for children in Kindergarten to primary school age. Only in the course of the vaccination programmes, there was a shift, so that now even older Teens and adults (as well as very small children, way, namely, atypical even infants) are affected by measles. Especially in the case of measles encephalitis reveals that only one is affected by the 15,000 small children (in the first four years of life), as well as one of 2,500 children between four and ten years, while in the case of adult measles patients even a diseased of only 1,000 to inflammation of the brain. The frequency and Severity of measles complications increases, if the measles to occur in a rather untypical age (a consequence of the vaccination programmes), while complications of measles the typical age group are just really rare to find. Low nest protection for infants of vaccinated mothers is The fact that infants are usually threatened only by measles and, therefore, preventable complications, BECAUSE so much is vaccinated, hardly interested anyone. For women who experienced in their Childhood measles, are time life extremely immune to the disease and pass it to the strong immunity in the Form of the so-called nest protection to their newborn children. This means that infants are protected in the first critical months of life by the mother's antibodies against measles. Vaccinated mothers can provide their infants, however, no such stable nest protection, so that their children are protected in the infant age less well against measles (1). SSPE – measles-late result, more and more often? The Mainstream media are interested in aspects of this type a little more. What is captured, however, in Nu, each title page, messages about the so-called SSPE cases. With SSPE (Subacute sclerosing Panencephalitis) is referred to as a measles-late sequence described inflammation of the brain, which could only occur, on average, seven years after a long-conquered measles infection. In the case of SSPE, it is without doubt a very serious, albeit very rare disease, which leads to a few exceptions, within a few months to years to death. A few years ago you stated that only one in 100,000 to 1,000,000 of the former measles patients suffer a SSPE. Today, the SSPE is intended to relate to a patient of 10,000.

The Figures would be on the other hand, correct, would, of course, that this rise, of all things, then, when so much is vaccinated never. Although especially the Germans and Austrians Here is to be accused of, are vaccinated, on average, 96.1 percent of the German school beginners once against measles. The second vaccination received 90.2 percent. Here is not to be taken into account that the second vaccination improved about the Vaccination of the first or picks up – as is often assumed. The second vaccination is merely a second attempt to a possible failure of the first vaccination catch. The vaccination to fail, however, to the first vaccination only at 5 per cent, of the Vaccinated, so it is said in official information. Herd immunity despite high vaccination rates are not achieved From the point of view of the Impfbefürworter would have to be achieved in the face of these Figures, the much – desired herd immunity-which is obviously not the case. With herd immunity refers to the unresponsiveness of a Population as compared with the corresponding disease, in this Population, then Unvaccinated are more protected, simply by the fact that the Virus let alone keep up with so many Vaccinated because multiply could and, therefore, the Unvaccinated are not more is affection. The herd immunity is supposed to protect in relation to the measles, particularly infants, may only be available for one year vaccinated against measles, and in a feature by means of the vaccinated population, as we know, hardly a nest of protection. Since we do not live in closed communities, so people from other regions immigrate, there is also, of course, permanent is the risk that active measles virus also appear again and again, and then those make you sick, which have no nest to protect, suffer from a weak immune system, or in which vaccination has not worked. SSPE: a result of the measles vaccination? SSPE occurs preferably at those people who were affected in the early infancy of measles that her mother was so vaccinated because – no maternal nest protection have had. The now rising SSPE-Pay might therefore be considered also very good as a result of the vaccination programmes. Instead, they are pushed by the media out of the unvaccinated people in the shoes. Pharmaceutical Lobby is sitting in the Standing Committee on vaccination (STIKO) Interestingly, this attack work take particularly like pharmaceutical lobbyists, under the guise, only the Best for mankind in the sense, to urge, wherever possible, vaccinations and impfkritische people as highly irresponsible pose. Dr. Martin Terhardt is a wonderful example of this. The children's doctor is also a member of the Permanent Impfkomission (STIKO) and Secretary of the professional Association of child and youth doctors (BVKJ). In addition, he stood for long years in the form of an Advisory Board member on the payroll of the vaccine manufacturer, Sanofi Pasteur, and is also invited today by vaccine producers to meetings, to the opinion of the medical Profession to advance in the right impffreund direction. For the SSPE-reporting of the mass media, it is striking, furthermore, that the source of all Evil can still be mostly over 10 years specifically determined. Because of this unvaccinated measles was in fact the sick child in the pediatric practice, had not only all of the other children in the waiting room, but which is also (and / or its ""irresponsible"" parents) for two SSPE-deaths that occurred over a decade later. A huge ""coincidence"", when the rarity of the disease into consideration (1 to 10 out of 100,000). Triggers measles vaccination, SSPE? So far, it is suspected as the cause of SSPE, a Mutation in the body dormant measles virus. Who or what triggers the Mutation, however, is not clarified. effective nature bentonite Detox capsules 19,90 EUR digestion <U+27E9> bentonite effective nature psyllium husks capsules 19,90 EUR digestion <U+27E9> fiber, Now there are but few cases in which children who have already had live measles, the typical triple vaccine (MMR vaccine, a triple vaccine against measles, Mumps, and rubella) were given and a short time later, the first SSPE symptoms showed. Therefore, not exclude the possibility that the measles vaccination caused the SSPE directly (this is done by the mutant viruses – even if the doctrine is true) that the measles vaccination, however, the immune system (or the virus?) in a way the negative influence that a SSPE is triggered, i.e. under the individual conditions – in the first place could be triggered. Drugs and vaccines with side effects of The measles vaccine, however, is not the only factor that could lead to SSPE-triggering. Other vaccines – one of which is a child in today's time as we all know, in the first two years, a total of thirty (!) administered gets involved – could in the past, in this process, in particular, such a vaccinations, the harmful ingredients contained such as mercury, formaldehyde and aluminum compounds. That's not enough. Also some medications can cause side effects, particularly in infants and young children symptoms similar to an inflammation of the brain. For example, Paracetamol and Ibuprofen – interestingly, two of the drugs are especially prescribed to like to purely as a precaution, school medically oriented Doctors, if you have a measles suspected include. School medical therapy for measles, But measles from school apply medical point of view, actually, as not treatable. So it is – again – only symptomatic treatment: fever is suppressed, inflammatory reactions to be fought, the cough up of mucus is prevented. It is anti-inflammatories, cough suppressants, antibiotics, and a fever lowering drug for use. ""The more the measles, the more favorable the prognosis"" many years ago was, however, an Anthroposophical doctor - Dr. Bob C. Witsenburg in a clinic in Ghana that those children with the measles were the most violent and high fever in prison, and showed the most favorable prognosis. The fever – so concluded the doctor – activate the body's own defensive reactions, while the skin rashes and the cough resulted in the excretion of the toxic for the body residue of the disease. Dr. Witsenburg conducted a hospital-internal study, which was published in the impfkritischen magazine impf-report (no. 18/19). A group of 56 children received the usual education of medical measles therapy with the above drugs. Another group, also with 56 children received only in case of need of antibiotics. Otherwise, as also in the first group – on bed rest, adequate hydration and a healthy diet taken. Now showed that in the school medically treated group, 20 died of 56 children, while in the drug-free group, only four of the children died, which is of course a significant difference. The fact that so many children died, is exhibited by the fact that the clinic was in Africa and many children – as mentioned above – already with a weakened immune system. The most common cause of death were lung inflammation. In the second group, many of the children were suffering also from pneumonia, but recovered for the most part of it again. After a measles less likely to get sick From a different study, the children's doctor in the southern German city of Karlsruhe introduced in his practice (he's from a appreciated in the year 1988, more than 200 measles cases), showed that children with measles in homeopathic-anthroposophic accompaniment lived through and following the illness significantly less likely to get sick were, as this was before the measles of the case. The measles had apparently a strong influence on the immune system of the children. The detailed results of the study can be found in the above-mentioned issue of the vaccination reports.

Hospitals with the typical symptoms, treatment, may, however, as we have seen in the above example, (Dr. Witsenburg) does not have to be the recovery is always beneficial. It would be so reconsider quite reasonable to, whether the alleged dangerousness of measles is not, perhaps, arisen through the usual school medical therapy, therefore, the measles-complication rate increases under the school of medical medication so drastically, while natural healing methods ethnographic approach, of course, under any plausible conditions, such as sleep, Hygiene, healthy food, pure water, etc. – for a strengthening of the whole organism to overcome illness to lead seem, in view of the above-mentioned points, a forced vaccination against the measles is a really drastic measure, which could lead to a massive impairment of the personal freedom of decision, and, not least, health. That the measles vaccination contributed to autism, is officially long from the table. There may be nevertheless a connection. MMR vaccine favours autism in the year 1998, Dr. Andrew Wakefield in The Lancet study results, which showed that the MMR vaccination is correlated with the frequency of autistic children published. Then, however, accused Wakefield of the study is fake. The study was withdrawn then, years later, from The Lancet again. So if today impfkritische parents only dare to take in connection with the MMR vaccination, the word ""autism"" in the mouth, you will not be stressed almost to the solidarity with a corrupt study accused counterfeiters or, at least, not exactly friendly to the fact that they were apparently on the current state of scientific knowledge. Now asking but: What is the current state of the science? And: Was Wakefield wrong, really? It was published in the journal Entropy, a review (Review), the hang devoted, inter alia, the potential between the MMR vaccination and the development of autism. The title of the study was that Empirical Data Confirm Autism Symptoms Related to Aluminum and Acetaminophen Exposure. The scientists involved Seneff, Davidson et al. noted in its conclusion, inter alia, the following: We observed also a strong correlation between the MMR vaccination and autism... attention in case of fever suppositories, However, is the MMR vaccination, again as a direct cause of autism (which is known to be a multifactorial Happen). Instead, the researchers explain that the MMR vaccine lead, there is rarely fever, and now of the school of medical therapists often antipyretic drugs with the active ingredient Acetaminophen were prescribed. Children, however, sensitive to Acetaminophen, can now develop autistic symptoms especially possibly, if at the same time, the immune system is just as a result of a vaccination in a state of emergency. Acetaminophen is by the way also under the name of Paracetamol is known, and in not a few fever suppositories for infants included. Therefore, it is recommended to avoid antipyretic measures, Paracetamol. Measles single vaccine in Switzerland Yes, in Germany no Case, you should consider a measles vaccination into account, you have to remember that - if you live in Switzerland - not the usual triple vaccine (MMR vaccine) is required, since there is also a measles single vaccine. Talk to your doctor and insist on that vaccine, YOU want to. It is recommended that you have a different vaccine, the leaflet and read this in peace and quiet, before you agree to the vaccination. Should you have any questions about the information in this leaflet, talk to your doctor. In Germany, the measles single vaccine, unfortunately, is since 2017 is no longer available. Although you could order it on prescription in Switzerland, but agrees there is hardly a doctor because in this case no liability for any vaccine damage is taken. Also, for the effect, no liability is assumed, since the cooling chain must not be interrupted during transport, which is difficult to verify.

From Brandenburg and Berlin criticism comes in: It is a group would be stigmatized by the no danger of going out. The Federal Cabinet has brought the law for a mandatory vaccination against measles on the way. As of March 2020, the parents must demonstrate, prior to the inclusion of their children in a nursery or school that they are vaccinated.

The WHO considers the UK as now having “endemic measles transmission”.  Measles, mumps and rubella are notifiable diseases, which means healthcare staff are legally required to inform local health protection teams of all suspected cases. Across the country, samples are taken and tested to confirm cases.  There were 135 confirmed cases in England between July and September this year, with young people predominantly affected.  In 80 per cent of cases, the patient was not immunised and in a third of overall cases, those infected had to be admitted to hospital.  Vaccination rates for children aged five fell to just 86 per cent in England over the same period, with some regions of the country falling further. Vaccination rates in London dropped to just 75 per cent.  The capital was also worst-hit by infections, with a total of 56 cases of measles and 99 cases of mumps confirmed for the three-month period.

The 61-year-old man who died suffered measles encephalitis, or swelling of the brain. He was exposed to the virus during a flight and is thought to have had underlying immunosuppression.  Dr Vanessa Saliba, a consultant epidemiologist for immunisation at Public Health England, said: “We continue to see measles cases and small outbreaks reported across the country. Anyone who has not received two doses of the MMR vaccine is at risk.  “Measles is very easy to catch and can kill. Fortunately, we have a very safe and effective vaccine that can stop measles from spreading and save lives.  “If you’re unsure if you are up to date with your two doses of MMR vaccine contact your GP practice. It’s never too late to protect yourself and others.”  Public Health England has also warned of outbreaks taking place across Europe, with 13,331 cases of measles reported to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control in the 12 months to September.",3424,"uk"
"79106","At least 922 children and young adults have died of measles in Madagascar since October, despite a huge emergency vaccination program, the World Health Organization (WHO) said on Thursday.  The number of deaths is based on official numbers, but these are likely to be very incomplete, as is the current total of infections, at 66,000, Dr Katrina Kretsinger of WHO’s expanded program on immunization told a news briefing.  Measles is a highly contagious viral disease that can cause complications including blindness and brain swelling and increase susceptibility to other diseases.

The lack of a big outbreak since 2003 also means many have had no chance to develop immunity.  An emergency response has vaccinated 2.2 million of the 26 million population so far, Dr Kretsinger said. Some of those had previously been vaccinated but had only received one shot, and so were given the more standard second, “booster” jab.  “We believe that should go a long way toward stemming the current outbreak,” she added.  Madagascar has Africa’s highest children’s malnutrition rate, at 47 per cent. The condition can increase the risk of serious complications and death from measles infection, the WHO says.  The disease can also leave children vulnerable to potentially fatal pneumonia or diarrhoeal diseases months later, said Katherine O’Brien, WHO director of Immunization, Vaccines and Biologicals.  Madagascar plans to standardise on a routine two-dose vaccination program later this year.  Reuters",3423,"uk"

"8150","Measles is a highly infectious viral illness that can be very unpleasant and sometimes lead to serious complications. It's now uncommon in the UK because of the effectiveness of vaccination. Anyone can get measles if they have not been vaccinated or have not had it before, although it's most common in young children. The infection usually clears in around 7 to 10 days.  Symptoms of measles The initial symptoms of measles develop around 10 days after you're infected. These can include: cold-like symptoms, such as a runny nose, sneezing and a cough  sore, red eyes that may be sensitive to light  a high temperature (fever), which may reach around 40C (104F)  small greyish-white spots on the inside of the cheeks A few days later, a red-brown blotchy rash will appear. This usually starts on the head or upper neck before spreading outwards to the rest of the body.  When to see a GP You should contact a GP as soon as possible if you suspect that you or your child may have measles. It's best to phone before your visit as your GP surgery may need to make arrangements to reduce the risk of spreading the infection to others. You should also see a GP if you have been in close contact with someone who has measles and have not: been fully vaccinated with 2 doses of the MMR vaccine  had the infection before You should do this even if you do not have any symptoms.  Is measles serious? Measles can be unpleasant, but will usually pass in about 7 to 10 days without causing any further problems. Once you have had measles, your body builds up resistance (immunity) to the virus and it's highly unlikely you'll get it again. But it can lead to serious and potentially life-threatening complications in some people. These include infections of the lungs (pneumonia) and brain (encephalitis).  How measles is spread The measles virus is contained in the millions of tiny droplets that come out of the nose and mouth when an infected person coughs or sneezes. You can easily catch measles by: breathing in these droplets  touching a surface the droplets have settled on and then placing your hands near your nose or mouth (the virus can survive on surfaces for a few hours) People with measles are infectious from when the symptoms develop until about 4 days after the rash first appears.  How measles can be prevented Measles can be prevented by having the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine. This is given in 2 doses as part of the NHS childhood vaccination programme. The first dose is given when your child is around 13 months old, and a second dose is given at 3 years and 4 months. Adults and older children can be vaccinated at any age if they have not been fully vaccinated before. Ask a GP about having the vaccination.

He's been called as dangerous and irresponsible mother, he is guilty and to persuade. The reason for are vaccines. Dance teacher, working Chachay indicated that it would endeavour to live as far as possible naturally and medication free. He suspects the vaccine efficacy and safety and trying to avoid six-year-old Mathias-son vaccination. Chachay and her husband have not taken her son most of the French in the recommended vaccinations. That to mathias has, however, been given in the country mandatory vaccines: diphtheria, tetanus and polio. – I couldn't refuse. I did not have such contacts, Chachay said. Chachay says that he experiences, that he failed in battle. He talks about appreciating the French actress star Isabelle Adjanin, which is told in the public eye, you have not taken any vaccination for their children. The ordinary mother is not with him is not possible. But Chachay is decided that more vaccines Mathiakseen won't make. No, although France comes first in force at the beginning of a new vaccination program. In the mandatory vaccines, the number will rise from three to 11. Chachay said he took Mathias needed to be home-schooled if the kid doesn't get in without a vaccination certificate to the school. And if nothing else helps, I'm ready to move out of France. The French health minister has however said that the extended vaccination forced on you at first, just less than two years old. In other words, Matt's like the kids don't need to take retroactive effect of their vaccines, who come for the younger mandatory. In france, the child does not get to kindergarten or school without a certificate of mandatory vaccines. In principle, their refusal to monitor the guardian for fines or up to six months in prison, although in practice the penalties rarely provides. France is not the only european country where vaccination laws have been tightened this year. Italy decided in the summer the number of dozens of children the vaccine mandatory. In germany, vaccines are not mandatory but the vaccination advice, yes, and kindergarten is now obliged to inform the advice slip of of the oldest health authorities. As well as the vaccine advisor refuse to parent that the duty of notification failure to be in kindergarten can get a fine. Shakedowns are the result of the fact that more and more parents are delaying or leave between the recommended vaccines. When unvaccinated people is enough for a lot of, infectious diseases may once again spread. Concern is especially measles. Yle news graphics in Romania and Italy, measles, the number of sufferers has risen this year, thousands of. The summer in Finland was ten, mainly in Italy linked to the measles cases, which also indicates the increased travel affect the spread of the disease. A total of at least 43 people have died of measles in Europe this and last year. One of them was leukemia weakens to seven-year-old Italian boy who died at Monza in the hospital in June due to measles complications. He got the measles possibly big brother or sister, which had not been vaccinated. The lombardy region health authorities, to the same leukemia formation in patients suffering from the approximately 85% survive. – This death is an example of how the so-called herd protection is crucial for all those children who have the disease or received treatment due to vulnerable even when they have been vaccinated, the Lombardy health director Giulio Gallera said the Corriere della Sera newspaper, according to (you move to another service). Herd protection means that when a sufficiently large part of the population is vaccinated, the disease does not get to seize the forward and the vaccine are protected. Measles spread extremely delicate and herd protection started to fall apart, if less than 95 percent of people have received the vaccination. Measles is transmitted even by air Measles spreads through contact and droplet infection, in addition to air. It can seize sometimes even from the vaccine to the person, if the exposure is intense. The vaccine for the disease is milder. Disease includes high fever, respiratory symptoms and a large week-long rash. Before the vaccination program in Finland died of measles, on average three people a year. Measles is a more serious disease, the older the patient is. The disease after the resistance the lower the months. Jälikitautina sick person can get pneumonia, middle ear infection, encephalitis, or less commonly in the brain gradually destroy subacute sclerosing panenkefaliitin namely SSPE:no. There is no known cure. Before the vaccinations start in Finland found normally at least one of the SSPE cases a year. Measles vaccinations started in Finland in 1975. Most of the pre-1970 born Finnish is ill with measles as a child. Sources: THL, Hanna Nohynek, Finland vaccination kattavuudet are generally among the best in Europe, but measles, mumps and rubella protective MMR vaccine coverage has in many places fallen below the 95% threshold. The pietarsaari region in addition this is, for example, in Helsinki and Tampere. Few finns, however, doubt the vaccines safety, out last year, the publication of the international report (go to another service), which included a total of 67 countries. In the survey, only 4.8 per cent of finns said they disagree with the statement ""in General, vaccines are in my opinion safe"". The most skeptical of most vaccines take the survey, French respondents. Vaccine-doubters were among them almost ten times the proportion of Finnish compared to. According to the report, more than 41% of French people say not to trust vaccine safety. Yle news graphics Why just in France vaccines is trusted so little? The reasons are several, the equivalent of Heidi Larson of the London university. He is one of the report authors. Assistant professor Larson, for example, unfounded found to suspect that the hepatitis B vaccine could cause multiple sclerosis, has been in the country plenty of attention. – One of the turning points in France was how the government reacted in the 2009-2010 swine flu epidemic, Larson estimates Yle. When the swine flu was declared a global pandemic, governments rushed to acquire vaccines. The French government ordered the first of about 94 million doses of vaccine, and although the order was reduced later to about half, a huge amount of vaccines left over. In the end less than six million French citizens to take the swine flu vaccine when the epidemic was feared to be smaller. Larson says oversized vaccines hoarding will give impetus to the anti-vaccine movement. Opponents of the argument often, that the health authorities recommend new vaccines, because the drug companies what to sell. French extended, in force at the beginning of the vaccine to concerns initially, only children under two years old. Juha Nurminen / Yle Also Corinne Chachay thinks that a vaccine program in the press more large corporate financial interests than the health of children. Chachay said that he is not, a priori, all the vaccines against. In his opinion, some vaccines can be sensible, for example traveling in developing countries. The chancay telling the opposition to the specific vaccine code. It does not, according to him, simply fit the western democracy. Vaccine to the expansion of his appoint – actress Isabelle Adjania quoted her - a crime against humanity. He hoped that the authorities would listen to concerned parents and it would be possible to have a conversation. – For me, those who believe vaccines can they take, but not everyone should be forced into the same mold, Chachay said. The international scientific community, vaccines are not a matter of faith. Vaccines help millions of people killed smallpox has been eradicated from the world completely and often before the most common, serious diseases have been able to bump the western countries almost perfectly. Many experts think one reason the vaccination response to the new surge in western countries is that vaccines against the disease are no longer present in people's everyday life. Finnish or French parents do not need to fear that your own child would be dead or paralyzed from polio as a result. In france, parents require certificates for mandatory vaccinations, so the child gets to kindergarten and school. Juha Nurminen / Yle Vaccine resistance, however, is not a new phenomenon. THL vaccination programme unit chief physician Hanna Nohynek point out that it has been so long as the vaccine, not the jacket. Eventually part of the working population should smallpox vaccination of the rich and the landowners ploy. Currently 1-1,4% of people refuse all vaccines. Nohynekin according to not the share has remained fairly constant. Instead, the so-called vaccine-undecided number has increased in recent years. Parents may decide that they considers important vaccines are taken but the other does not, or then the child will receive vaccines at the recommended age later. For example, influenza vaccine in Finland through Nohynekin according to ""the nut island's peace cross"": in the east, vaccination coverage is better than in the west. In finland, there is a line of Hanna Nohynekin according to that compulsory vaccination was not resorted to except as a last resort. – Should be a pretty disastrous situation, that it going to be, he said. Also, the vaccination response to the new familiar with the special investigator Jonas Sivelä THL is of the opinion that the vaccine to not support. – People self-determination is a very strong role in Finland and other nordic countries, and it should be cherished. Secondly, there are no indications that forced in any way to promote or maintain good vaccination coverage. On the contrary. There are studies that suggest that it can have a detrimental effect. Sivelä report mentions his surprise in particular, the French decision to expand the vaccination compulsion. According to him, the situation in Europe has hitherto been such that mandatory vaccination has been chiefly in Eastern European countries, and the development has passed a voluntary increase in the direction of. University of london associate professor Heidi Larson admits that vaccines provide the mandatory can lead to the installation of hard enlargement. In his opinion, the end result is, however, to catch up on how the vaccination to be explained and implemented. – The French situation seems to be that point, that the government did not have much of a choice. – Without the compulsion enough for many people not only take the vaccination. Especially important would be to get health care professionals to defend vaccination. Larson said that vaccines doubt has increased in some places also among them. The French health ministry the year 2015 a report published by (you move to another service) nearly one quarter of the general practitioners told me she likes some of the vaccines the usefulness and safety of uncertain. Corinne Chachay Juha Nurminen / Yle Also parisian Corinne Chachayn current family doctor supports his views of vaccine dangers. The family doctor has injected vaccines at the recommended lower doses and advised Chachayta to use a variety of natural medicine, which he believes reduce vaccine side effects. Chachay said she met many other like-minded doctors. A friend of the family doctor has even written a fake vaccination certificates, he says. THL Jonas Sivelä estimates that coercion can in the long term damage to people's confidence not only in vaccination, also public health in general. In the past, people's health perceptions and conspiracy theories examined Sivelä has a background as a cultural researcher. THL he is doing research on how people make the decision to vaccinate their children or refuse vaccinations. Sivelä attach a vaccination response to the new into the global development: social conversation is kuplautunut, fake news and conspiracy theories spread is accelerated. In his opinion, the vaccination authorities should be even more transparent and to figure out on their own initiative, what kind of information people need and how it should be presented understandably. – It is really a great thing that people have expanded the information needs and information wants, Sivelä consider.

Until the end of the second year of life (recommended at the age of 15 to 23 months) is also supposed to be the second MMR vaccination is carried out.

The big measles epidemic was raving in Europe the last time in 2011-2012. Even then, it landed in Finland. ”If this epidemic goes the same way, so the situation continues as bad again next year,” explains specialist Mia Kontio THL. In romania, people are poorly protected against measles. All not even covered by healthcare. Vaccine coverage is about 86%, when herd protection would be needed 95%. Herd protection means, that when a man is sufficiently comprehensively vaccinated, generated immunity that prevents epidemics and the protection rokottamattomiakin. Also from Italy herd immunity is missing, and there is introduced a vaccine to. In may, the new law requires the vaccine to little children. In germany again we are witnessing is a political debate on vaccine by necessity. In the united states in children is not a thing to school, if their cover is not okay. The old pestilence are raised again his head, when herd protection is broken, and people travel more widely. Midsummer's eve on the eve of the Italian man was transferred to the Savonlinna central hospital of the air insulation of the room. With plenty of ventilation diluted with the air in the room, so there would be viruses little. Between the nurse went in the room with a respirator on his face. Patients were given a pain - and fever medicine as well as hydration. Already two days later, on midsummer's day, the man wanted to leave the hospital. ”He had permission to leave, because he had not been prescribed infectious disease due to treatment or infection isolation”, Sakari Vuorinen says. The man ordered a taxi to the centre sairaalantie 6 and returned to the school for Vaahersalon islands. He packed his stuff to stay at the academy and left the Sunday morning train from Lappeenranta towards Helsinki. From helsinki he continued Tallink evening boat towards Tallinn, where the spent the night in a camping hut. On Monday, the youngster flew to Milan and went to her parents. He felt increasingly weak. Other labour camp were returned to their home countries, when Tuesday morning 27. June THL's laboratory in Helsinki, got ready for the results of man's blood and throat swabs. It was then measles, more precisely, in Italy, around who rokon genotype D8. When the infection chief physician Sakari Vuorinen hear the results, he realized immediately that the patient was given the wrong information rokotuksistaan. Now were in a hurry. In savonlinna, we needed to immediately find out where the Italian young men had moved in, with whom and when. Who is the man in the vicinity of the residence of the people were ill with the measles, who had received the MMR vaccine and who had to quickly vaccinated. Measles is in Finland defined in the general hazard of infectious disease. It spreads very sensitive to both air and contact. The room, where the virus carrier has been a resident, can get infected by even hours from now. Position to infect other people four days before rash onset and four days after. When the health authorities will receive information about the measles, they have a duty to act quickly to prevent new infections could be prevented. Infectious disease doctor mirkalta as Erkkilä Sosteri basic health care was midsummer after the summer vacation as a large part of the finns. His deputy began to organize the tracking. Five hospital and health center employees began to reach out to the hundreds of people who had been exposed to Punkaharju and Savonlinna. Had to contact both the community college and the central hospital in. If necessity required, they should be vaccinated in three days. He returned from vacation and continue tracing along with other infectious disease team. Once the previous 21-year career he had not come across measles case. Infection chief Vuorinen reported that the Italian man with the same time in the hospital had been vaccinated in the end both patient and staff. Person, although the new infectious diseases law requires that health care staff should be vaccinated against infectious diseases. VR's website appeared exceptional release. THL in Helsinki measles hunt drew five people. Like was the situation in meetings, drafted press releases, stretch were overtime. Contacted VR in and Tallinkiin, which can take a man to travel Punkaharjulta to Helsinki and then through Estonia to Italy. Called the youth hostel in Tallinn. Italian authorities was forwarded to the information type of virus. Information was also sent to the international measles database. There it was compared with the other countries the number of reported viruses. VR's web page appeared in newsletter: ”are you Traveling Punkaharju–Imatra–Helsinki-between 25.6? Health and welfare institute (THL) continues in Finland, out came the measles case detection, and calls on the midsummer Sunday 25.6 10:00-10:23 Punkaharjulta had to get some sleep and at 10:32-13:40 parikkala from Helsinki train passengers to check whether their own protection condition. If you'd travel with these trains, see THL's instructions.” ”Also Tallink target was exposed to their customers. Carriers are infectious diseases act, obliged to it,” says a leading expert, the infected and the fight against epidemiological Jussi Sane THL. Where the man was moving on the train? Where he went, eating on the ship? All should try to figure out. Because the man has not been on a train seat tickets, for all passengers should be sure to convey information about a possible infection. Onboard works was even bigger. For example, last summer health threats, emergency ring came the message, that great Britain arrived in Finland at the Finnair plane had had measles to seize the passenger. Even then measures were taken immediately to find out who on the plane to travel, and where they were in Finland after arriving in the navigation have. Just complete disease vector flow pathways and exposed the tracing is not. Mia Kontio tell you that people don't necessarily remember exactly what routes are gone. Any R-kiosk deviation may well forget. The Italian man could be exposed to in Finland, a total of about 1 900 people measles: 200 poly, 50 Savonlinna central hospital, 700 for two different train ride and the 900 on the boat from Helsinki to Tallinn. Besides him in the end, only five people ill with measles. Three sufferers had Savonlinna residents with an immigrant background people and two native finns. Pox grabbed the closest public college. Sufferers three you have to visit the intense of symptoms due to the emergency room. The two were put in the air hole. They were both adults. Two sufferers ordered to home isolation. With the exception of one ill were unvaccinated. Vaccinated person was infected member of the family arrived. Very close contact with measles may also infect the vaccine the people. The vaccine disease is, however, mild and he took it forward. It was actually fortunate that the Italian man just arrived in Savonlinna region. ”Good vaccination coverage, about 95%, save us. Now, five got sick. If the sick would have been 40, they would not have fit in our hospitals”, Sakari Vuorinen said. Luck was also that summer camp of the international youth was well vaccinated. Bad luck had it that the Italian man happens ill just before midsummer. Disease detection is delayed. The end result would have been very different if the international labour camps should be Punkaharju instead arranged for example in Pietarsaari. There vaccination coverage is only just over 86%. ”The low vaccination coverage municipalities in the diseased would have been dozens, if not hundreds. There are also more serious forms of the disease had probably occurred”, Mia Kontio says. The west coast is the municipality, including against measles, the vaccine is too little. Pietarsaari addition, for example, black island and in the new town we stay below the herd protection limit. Finland has 60 municipalities, where the measles could leave more easily spread. Among them also belong to the Helsinki, Tampere and Turku. ”For some people your opinion is fact.” In 1975, initiated measles vaccination as well as in 1982, introduced, measles, mumps and rubella to be given the MMR vaccine wiped out measles in the Finnish disease map. Now it is back foreign back. MPR is a cheap vaccine. One dose costs less than ten euros. THL according to the report, the MMR-the vaccine pays for itself in 43-fold back. ”If Finland becomes a several hundred person of an epidemic and it is assumed that 20% of them are hospitalized, so it pay,” Mia Kontio said. Young children parents negative attitude towards vaccinations has been growing for several years. Vaccination anti the parents support each other in online forum discussions. THL:n Jussi Sane estimates that the vaccine illegality associated with research knowledge contempt for. ”For some people your opinion is fact, be it vaccines, climate change or diet. Online writing is enough for them as an information source.” Vaccine type in the layout is repeated, for example, still in the 1990s, originating in the claim the MMR vaccine and autism connection. Despite the fact that it has several studies force reported a completely false. Steiner schools are run by an anthroposophic movement in vaccines is critical. A few years ago sammatti types of steiner school students were forced home quarantine, because the school revealed measles cases. Only half of the students had been vaccinated. Vaccination reputation in Finland was severely damaged by Pandemrix vaccine, which was introduced in the year 2009 in Finland to quickly use against swine flu. Later, the vaccine was found to be common in children and adolescent narcolepsy. Dozens of children fall ill in Finland and Sweden. ”The MMR vaccine has been in use since 1982. Measles disease is much more dangerous than the vaccine-taking”, Jussi Sane said. Still more to leave their children from vaccination. ”Failure to make seems to be the part of the parents ’less bad’ than if they were doing something, which might even remotely harm the children”, Mia Kontio said. Jussi Sane give me an example from Holland, where he has worked. There is the orthodox protestant way of living by the Bible belt, i.e. the bible belt, where opposition to vaccines fundamenta subjected to. ”When the last measles epidemic began in 2013, it became the Bible beltiin to a few thousand people epidemic. It also spread to Canada, where a part of the community lives. In the netherlands, hospital care was in the hundreds. People also die.” THL infectious disease prevention and vaccination -unit leading chief Stanley Puumala is concerned about the vaccine kielteisyyden spread. The phenomenon is taken so seriously that it is investigating THL also anthropology of power. Previously, the same researcher is familiar with, inter alia, conspiracy theories. One-year-old will get the vaccination to calculate the so-called timely vaccine coverage in Finland, currently 94.5%. Each year the emergence of about 60 000 children of about 3 000 currently the clinic without the MMR vaccine. ”Parents who do not take their children the MMR vaccine, endangering not only their own child health also increase the likelihood that the disease will return in Finland”, Puumala said. THL study has survived, that from Africa or from Asia to Finland come from the parents of vaccine are now their children more diligently than Finnish families. ”These people come to the circumstances in which diseases are commonplace, morbidity is high and kuolleisuuskin reasonable. They appreciate the disease prevention methods.” Finland is currently estimated at 100 000 people who do not have protection against measles. The exact figure is not known, because, for example, a private clinic vaccines administered do not end up in a nationwide registry. The largest group, which does not have resistance to, are those who didn't get sick with the measles, because the disease is not their childhood in Finland anymore, just be you. On the other hand, they do not have the vaccination because measles vaccinations had not yet begun. ”They are in the late 1960s and early 1970s born. They are often also those who travel a lot”, Puumala said. In finland, we have discussed the vaccine necessity and proposed, for example, child benefit cuts, if the parents refuse vaccinations. THL:n Puumala does not support the vaccine compulsion. In August, the measles come again to Finland at the end of August 2017, the hospital district sent out a short bulletin: Eastern Savo measles epidemic is over. Actually, the situation was over already in the past, patients had been treated, to prevent infection in people objectives and, where necessary, vaccinated. Health authorities do not, however, able to pull very long life. In August, the measles come again to Finland. Italy vacation entourage were infected on the train. The disease does not spread, because the travelers had been vaccinated. Over the summer the THL laboratory diagnosed a total of ten measles cases",3268,"finland"

"8317","Médecins Sans Frontieres/Doctors without Borders (MSF) is today launching a large scale measles vaccination campaign in Conakry, Guinea, together with of the Guinean Ministry of Health.  Since the beginning of the year there have been 3,468 confirmed cases and 14 deaths dues to measles in Guinea. Conakry and Nzérékoré are the most affected districts.  Routine vaccination in Guinea was drastically reduced during the 2014-2015 Ebola epidemic, both because most resources and attention were geared towards the management of Ebola and, mainly, due to fear: people stayed away from health facilities, vaccination activities were suspended because infection risks; this left thousands of young children unprotected against easily preventable diseases.  Measles epidemic  A nation-wide vaccination campaign was organised by authorities one year ago to vaccinate the children who had not received their shots (MSF did not participate in this campaign).  Despite this catch-up effort, a measles epidemic was declared on 8 February 2017.  “The fact that a new epidemic occurs barely a year after a massive vaccination campaign is a worrying sign of the weakness of healthcare in Guinea”, says Ibrahim Diallo, MSF’s representative in Guinea.  “Major problems remain in the health system, undermining its capacity to prevent and respond to outbreaks effectively and timely.”  Supporting countries after Ebola  After the devastating Ebola epidemic that killed over 11,000 people and severely affected the health systems of the three most affected countries (Guinea, Sierra Leone and Liberia), the World Health Organization (WHO) and leading public health experts insisted on the importance of rebuilding responsive health systems in the three countries, equipping and supporting them to better manage similar or new health crises.  According to the UN body in charge of Ebola response, only 18 percent of the funds disbursed to support the countries during Ebola were meant for recovery.  ""If Ebola was a wakeup call, since then the world seems to have fallen back asleep. As shown by this measles outbreak, the concrete impact of the promises of funding, support and training made during and after the Ebola crisis still remains to be felt by ordinary Guineans.""  International donor commitments to health systems strengthening has focused on improving disease surveillance to assure early detection and response of outbreaks, such as Ebola.  However, today, faced with a large outbreak of measles, MSF (in Conakry) and Alima (in Nzérokoré district) are providing support to the Ministry of Health for the vaccination campaign in the worst affected districts.  The WHO and UNICEF have pledged support to other affected districts across the country, which is still under discussion.  Lack of ""concrete impact""  ""If Ebola was a wakeup call, since then the world seems to have fallen back asleep,"" says Dr Mit Philips, MSF's health policy analyst.  ""As shown by this measles outbreak, the concrete impact of the promises of funding, support and training made during and after the Ebola crisis still remains to be felt by ordinary Guineans.  Markel Redondo Children are vaccinated during the first day of the measles vaccination programme in Conakry.  “Access to good healthcare was clearly lacking before Ebola struck, and the country is still facing today the same problems that it was facing then, largely alone, in spite of the international public commitments to build better and more responsive health systems.""  One million children to be vaccinated  To contain the measles epidemic, MSF, with the Ministry of Health in Conakry, is mobilising 126 teams of 13 people, spread out across 164 vaccination sites in the city of three million people.  All children from six months up to 10 years old will be vaccinated, which constitutes approximately one million.  MSF also supports 30 health centres in Conakry to care for children suffering from mild cases of measles, as well as the referral centre where severe cases are hospitalised.  our work in guinea >",3260,"uk"
"5389","Article by Giuseppe Stilo In the state of Samoa, parliamentary monarchy of the central Pacific-southern, from the first half of October is a serious epidemic of measles. The last budget known talk about 4357-infected and 63 dead, the vast majority of whom are children under four years of age. None of the victims had been vaccinated. The numbers are relatively low do not betray: this is a disease of epidemic proportions, when compared to the number of inhabitants of Samoa. In two months, it was hit 2% of the population. It is as if in Italy, about 60.5 million people, there were 1.25 million cases, in sixty days, with at least 25,000 dead! This disaster is probably destined to become a terrible textbook case of this involving the decline in vaccinations for childhood diseases, the propaganda antivaccinista and the difficulty in getting messages that are scientifically correct in public. From the point of view of immunology, the most immediate of the current outbreak in Samoa is the lack of vaccination, in the course of 2018, a large number of children under the age of five during the year the vaccine was administered at 31% just members of that age group. This rate, which was 90% in 2013 and between 2014 and 2017, it was down to percentages between 60% and 70%. In 2018, however, there was a real meltdown of immunizations. The main causes seem to have been two: the death, in the course of 2018, two children after the injections – which has brought down the confidence of many parents in the safety of the procedure, while in reality the deaths were due to the wrong administration of a drug – and the aggressive campaigns conducted in the same period and earlier by activists of the no vax. For a tragic circumstance, the two children both died in July 2018 at the hospital in Apia, capital of Samoa, shortly after receiving the vaccine. In reality, autopsies later determined that the deaths were due to serious negligence of a nurse, who had mixed the vaccines with a lethal dose of muscle relaxants. For this fact, in August of 2019, the nurse and her accomplice had tried to cover it up have been sentenced to five years in prison. For safety reasons, the two deaths have led to a brief suspension of the vaccination, ready for a few days in the hope that the investigations were light on the situation. On this event has capitalised on one of the main groups no vax in the u.s., the so-called “Children's Health Defense”, which, however, is driven by a nephew of president John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. In June last, Kennedy has visited Samoa, holding press conferences, it was packed and getting even because of his last name, a wide coverage in the media., The campaign did not stop even with the first outbreaks of measles: with the epidemic already exploded, Kennedy has yet written an open letter to the prime minister of samoan, asking him to reconsider the vaccination campaigns. Professor Katherine O'brien, immunologist and director of the Department of immunization of the WHO, has stated that the combination of these two factors (the error of the nurse on the two small, and propaganda no vax) has produced an outcome to be very clear: the preventable death of many dozens of children. According to Ian Norton, of the Unit for medical emergencies by the WHO, at the beginning of December, the main hospital in Apia, which normally has four hospitalised in the nicu with the use of assisted ventilation, had fourteen patients in the pediatric age group affected by measles that could breathe only thanks to the machines. An unsustainable burden for the modest ability of the health care facilities in Samoa. Unicef is trying to remedy the situation by sending urgent than 200,000 doses of vaccine to immunize quickly throughout the population, which has a population of 201.000 inhabitants. The schools of the whole kingdom are closed. After Sunday, 1 December were registered 198 new cases, almost all in the individuals childhood, to accelerate the administration, the government has ordered the closure of all public offices and all private activities on 5 and 6 December. On the houses in which they live people yet to be vaccinated, the authorities have ordered the affixing of small flags of red, waiting for medical personnel to proceed to the inoculations. On 4 December, the UNICEF representative for the Pacific region stated that the problem is “huge” and that the disease continues to spread at a high rate. The tensions are so high that a known activist in the no vax and influencers of australian, Taylor Winterstein, on his profile on Instagram has come to define the Samoa one was “nazi”, just in virtue of the decisions of these last days. On December 5, a no vax that had once made via social the population to disobey the government provisions for vaccination total number of inhabitants of Samoa, has been arrested by the Police. On the same day, the regional representative for the Pacific islands UNICEF, Yett Sheldon, called it “incredibly irresponsible” no-vax, which from Countries such as Australia and the United States, are continuing to spread incorrect information (which, unfortunately, met with the sensitivity of some groups among the samoans). Although according to the latest report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the United States, just published, the number of measles deaths is decreasing, in 2018 in the world can still be attributed to the disease 142.300 deaths, most of which were in children under the age of five years. In fact, the global rate of vaccination on the pond by about a decade, both for the resurgent confidence in the vaccination practice is backed by no vax, both of the excessive resistance of some governments to proceed in a decisive manner with the countryside to the carpet of immunization. In practice, all of the 18 million registered cases in 2018 would have been avoidable, said on 5 December, the director-general of WHO, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreysus. Even more significant, in 2018, due to the emergence of new clusters of cases, four european states have lost their status as countries free from measles”: Albania, Greece, Czech Republic and Great Britain. The best response to the tragedy in progress in Samoa, fears, dilagate in 2018 and ideas antiscientifiche such as those of Kennedy is now Sunday 1st December from the same prime minister of Samoa, Tuilaepa Sailele Malielegaoi, who with these words he called on all citizens to combat misinformation about vaccines and campaigns of denigration of the work of doctors samoans and other Countries, and of health organizations, that the no vax are intensifying as the health crisis worsens: We work together to encourage and persuade all those who do not believe that the vaccinations are the only answer to the current outbreak.

"3478","Federal Minister of health, Jens Spahn calls for the introduction of a measles vaccination. ""We want to protect all children from being infected with measles (...) All parents need to be sure that their children are not infected with measles and are at risk,"" said Spahn in an Interview with ""BamS"". Anyone who refuses the vaccination, which could threaten soon to a fine of up to 2,500 Euro. Children without vaccination, the legal claim on a kindergarten is to be denied space. But Germany really need a vaccination? A comparison of countries provides a current Overview of the Situation. In February 2019, the European health authority, the ORGANISATION warned of a growing measles disease, especially in countries which eliminated the measles-or strong had contained. In Numbers: Except in Belgium, a measles in these countries, vaccination. In Germany, the comparison with these countries, the highest number of inhabitants, were reported in February, only 62 cases, without vaccination. So what is a forced vaccination? Epoch Times spoke about the sense or nonsense of a vaccination with Dr. Steffen Rabe. The physician working in Munich, in his doctor's practice for Kids ""The Raven doctor"", is a co-founder of the Association ""Doctors for individual vaccination decision-making eV"", and is also involved in the Association ""MEZIS My food I self – Initiative incorruptible Doctors"". MEZIS is part of the international ""No free lunch""movement, whose goal is not to let the pharmaceutical industry by invitations to Dinner, gifts and bribe. Epoch Times: what is the effectiveness of a measles vaccination actually is? Dr. Raven: The measles vaccination is certainly one of the most useful and the most effective vaccines we have at the Moment in Germany, in Europe, in the world. The measles vaccination, however, as is discussed at the Moment in Germany, is complete nonsense. It is not necessary, because we have no real measles is a problem, the Maserimpfpflicht is effective. It is important to distinguish these points carefully. The measles vaccination is not effective, the vaccination, the views of the countries in which it is already no longer, is effective. It is constitutionally extremely problematic and highly controversial, especially among professionals such as those in the for the Vaccinated in Germany, the competent Robert-Koch-Institute. When I say that the measles vaccination is one of the most effective vaccinations, does not mean, however, that protects you 100 percent of the Vaccinated. The no vaccination can. And the measles vaccine has been to protect above all reliable, if children are vaccinated after the first birthday and therefore later than, the STIKO recommended. Only a one-time measles vaccination protects 95 percent of these children for many years, probably for several decades. False claim by the Robert-Koch-Institute, Dr. Raven says: A reliable life-long protection as the Robert Koch Institute claimed today on his website, formed by two measles vaccinations. We already know that for many years and decades, and this phenomenon is observed increasingly in recent years and is increasingly been studied. We know that even after a two-time measles vaccination, which was once a stable protection for many years, this protection may decrease. Thus, the patient can be after a long time susceptible to a measles infection, but is then, in many cases, unlike in the East: more mild, so mild that we don't have to assume that we notice the most of the cases as measles. The patients have not a high fever, and conjunctivitis, and cough and rash, but maybe just a high fever, and conjunctivitis, or rash, and cough. We speak then of vaccine-modified measles, so measles, which have been changed by the vaccine in its clinical picture. This vaccine modified measles is not according to what we know, it is far not as contagious as regular measles, the most contagious diseases ever – but: basically, they're contagious! So, patients that have enjoyed a really successful vaccination is long protection, and then still fall ill, fall ill themselves is mild, but you can infect others with the right measles. This ill not automatically mild, but get right measles. The measles vaccination after an infection? Epoch Times: How is this to be the case in Hildesheim, Germany – According to media reports, in the environment before a measles illness occurred and the woman was vaccinated. Eight days later she died. What happens if the wild virus encounters the vaccine? Dr. Rabe: This product contains a special, attenuated Form of the measles virus, which the authorities will go at any rate – achieved by spray administration, the immune system faster than the wild virus, even if the is in the body. At least this is true according to the hope of the authorities within the first three days. It must be said that the scientific Basis of this approach is very thin. There are very, very few studies have examined the effectiveness of this strategy at all and not all to not very convincing results. There are not a few, without any effect, is probably. A significant protection by vaccination after these 72 hours, the Robert Koch Institute takes seriously. Epoch Times: Are there any research results, whether this vaccination after a contact damage can be caused? Dr. Raven: Definitely not. The damages are not ultimately to be expected but also imperative. Unlike other vaccinations, the measles vaccine contains little impurities. Basically, a betting place in the body to be held between the wild virus and Vaccine virus. If the Vaccine virus may trigger the immune response in the body, before it runs wild virus, then we can be the real history of measles disease in the best case, or, perhaps, mitigate prevent. If the wild win virus the race, the Vaccine virus to the Shorter. In this case, the body is overrun by the wild virus, and the measles break out. Epoch Times: Is it so that the ""real measles"" - that is, the wild virus-induced immunity decreases, more and more, while the group of Vaccinated to continue to grow? What impact does that have? Dr. Raven: That is absolutely right. We know that the immunity, the protection against measles, there is a through-made disease, in contrast to the vaccination for life. This is the case with other diseases is not always the case, for example, in the case of whooping cough. In the case of measles that's for sure. The Consequences: Quo Vadis, Germany? Dr. Rabe further explains: What are the consequences of the possible Easing of the immunization, has, we don't know for sure. We have to assume that the immunity lasts after vaccination, been at it for decades, but how many decades and how well? Since we are just going to observe and to investigate. There are mathematical models that say quite clearly that We are still in the so-called Honeymoon Phase. We are in the Phase where we still have people in the population have a natural immunity as the result of a lived disease, and we have more and more people to have a Impfimmunität. But at some point, if the WHO has achieved its goal of measles elimination, we have then only people with a Impfimmunität. What happens then, no one knows. What happens, then, when a measles sick, e.g. from the USA or otherwise, where in such a population, which has, instead of a ""real"", only a Impfimmunität, nobody knows. There are mathematical models that say that could lead to absolute disaster. It can be speculate. In any case, the following applies: A population that is impfimmun to 100 percent, is safely protected worse than a population that has 90 percent of a natural immunization by the disease. Also, no one would talk seriously to resist. Epoch Times: is The enshrined in the basic law the right to the integrity of the body would be attacked by the planned forced vaccination. If the infection law for the protection of the measles vaccination is included, can be bypassed, the basic law, as soon as it comes to an epidemic? Dr. Raven: It is, of course, undermined a bit, but that wouldn't be the first Time that this happens. During the validity period of the basic law, we had in Germany a vaccination. We should not forget. We had the vaccination against smallpox. It was in the 1960s and 70s, as this reason was the right to physical integrity, too. But, we are talking about smallpox on a completely different quality of disease. In the case of smallpox, up to 30 per cent of the sick died of the measles less than one percent dies, about 1 ppm, statistically. So also, the Scientific service of the German Bundestag, for example, in a report to the result that a measles non-vaccination probably in line with the Constitution would be, because measles is ""only"" a mortality rate of 0.1% occurs. The vaccination against smallpox was at that time considered by the Federal constitutional court as constitutional. Crucial: The right Impfalter Epoch Times: In Europe the age limit for measles vaccination are completely different than in Germany regulated. You have already said, a year is a good age for vaccination. Dr. Raven: The Standing Committee on vaccination (STIKO) recommends, in Germany, vaccination starting at eleven months, for kindergarten children from nine months. To do this, we know two things very carefully:. Firstly, If we vaccinated at nine months of age against measles, when it is much, much less children after the first vaccination to provide sufficient protection, then it's not 95%, but maybe 70 to 80 percent. Secondly, The quality of this immunity, which arises then, is worse and remained worse than if this child had been vaccinated three months later. There is now research from Germany that suggests the very clear. This Problem can not mend then also with a second or third measles vaccination again. This child retains for life a worse measles immunity, so that we may have had to add in the principle of our thought experiment from earlier: model A – a population in which almost all of the measles and, thus, a stable, so to speak, world-class immunity model B – a population which has been vaccinated as before almost everywhere common, and at the Moment of the WHO for countries such as Germany, recommended only from the age of two and a then second – rate Impfimmunität has the model C-is a population, in which most of the children are vaccinated before the first birthday and therefore have a poorer Impfimmunität, a third-rate measles immunity, so to speak. Inadequate vaccine education, and was to cover up Information about revaccination Epoch Times: I was not aware that the second measles vaccination, which is recommended about four weeks after the first vaccination, is only important for the case that the first vaccination has not been struck. I was informed also, as a mother, never. Dr. Raven: I don't think hung also deliberately rather on the large bell. Because the logical consequence would be that after the first vaccination, a blood sample and the antibody levels, called titers determined. The titer test doesn't help with all vaccinations, for measles it is for sure meaningful. That is, if I vaccinate a child against measles, and then the blood take and a sufficiently high antibody level to find, then I know that this child does not need a second vaccination. If I can't find the anti-body level, then I can give this child a second Chance with a second vaccination. To the many children who are not vaccinated a second Time, earning of course, the pharmaceutical companies any money. Because only the laboratory physicians then earn. Vaccinate – an ethical question? Epoch Times: There is no single measles vaccine, but only a combined vaccine for measles, Mumps and rubella, or, alternatively, in addition with the chicken pox. According to our research, the base of the red chalk-vaccine back to human fetal cell lines, i.e. cells, the aborted fetuses were removed. Dr. Raven: Yes, of course. Epoch Times: For you, this is understandable, for me, was completely new. The currently available vaccines are said to go back back still to the developed in the 1960s by cell structures of the male and female fetuses. Now the vaccination is to be introduced, the abortion law is loosened. Where should it go? We have to do it with a large human trial, in which the aborted fetuses play a role for the research and for cell experiments to be taken? Dr. Raven: vaccines are grown on human cell lines, originally, to my knowledge, of human fetuses. Meanwhile, these cells are cultured in the laboratory without the use of the new fetuses to be used. Epoch Times: How ethical is then represented by a vaccination? In connection with religions? Dr. Raven: You have to be a Vegan, to a certain shiver to feel with the idea. But: The measles vaccine is a useful vaccine. You should not perform a vaccination, without first thoroughly to mind, but there are a few situations in which measles vaccination would not be useful. For most people, this is a useful vaccination without question. Epoch Times: If someone comes to you and says there's a measles case in my environment, like the patient in Hildesheim. What do you do then? Dr. Raven: I would have them vaccinated for sure, because it's the only way to take in perhaps more influence on the course. If you read the press release carefully, it States that it is assumed that the measles have played a significant role in the death of this woman. There is not, the woman had died of measles. Under the circumstances, so it reads, for me, this was a patient with a serious pre-existing condition and didn't survive the strain of a measles disease is easy. This is like the child who died 2015 in Berlin. This child had an undetected, severe heart disease and had died with this under the circumstances, probably at the next Influenza and the measles were then but before that. I'm excited, we still have no conclusive results about the case from Hildesheim. But it would not surprise me at all if something like this comes out, too. Measles in the comparison of countries On the website of Dr. Raven can be seen, the actual Numbers of deaths, percentage vaccination rates for the first and the second vaccination from the year 2017, and in the countries of recommended Impfalter. The recommendations for initial vaccination vary between 10 months (Austria) and 18 months (Sweden). You assume that vaccination until 1. Age ensures a sufficient protection, so children from Austria and Germany, in which the Impfalter is including are provided, in the case of vaccination in the recommended ages, from the outset, worse than all the other children in Europe. Self-Coverage of 97 percent, as Federal Minister of health Spahn sought – is no guarantee that the measles disease can be significantly mitigated or even eradicated. In the almost by means of the vaccinated Hungary (99 per cent for First and second vaccination) there is an incidence of (death on 1 million inhabitants expected) of 1.2. In Portugal, a vaccination achieved a rate of 96.5 percent, the incidence of 6.6 and only slightly lower than in the voluntarily vaccinated in Germany",3237,"germany"

From January to June of 2018, in Europe contracted measles, more than 41,000 children and adults, being practically double that of the infected throughout the 2017. Figure is very alarming, especially if one takes into account that during the past year have already surpassed a record-high figure, with 23.927-infected individuals, as during the year 2016 were only 5.273 affected. Dr. Mark Muscat, technician of the Program of Immunization and Vaccine-Preventable Diseases in the WHO Regional Office for Europe, has indicated that ""the current outbreaks threaten the lives of children and adults and put at risk the progress that has been achieved up to now"", in addition he also added that ""it is a tragedy, unnecessary and unacceptable"". An increase of 400% the cases of measles in Europe According to the analysis conducted by the WHO, 53 european countries are affected by the measles and Ukraine is the one that has more cases with 23,000. In addition, we have registered more than a thousand children and adults affected in Italy, Greece, Georgia, Russia, Serbia and France during this 2018. In the whole of Europe have killed 37 people to blame for the measles, 14 of them in Serbia thus remains the country with the highest number of deaths due to this disease. WHO is concerned by the lack of vaccination in some countries, above all because of the cutbacks in health, and also the lack of control of the disease, factors that if not applied correctly they enhance the spread of the virus. Eliminated endemic transmission in Spain In spite of these data as alarming, the WHO reported that in Spain, the endemic transmission of the measles virus, and rubella, has been inactive for more than 36 months, which considers that this disease has been eliminated. Carmen Bunch, minister of Health, noted these data in his latest report, published on August 15, and during their statements of 22 August described them as ""good news"". Really in Spain have been 203 confirmed cases, but they are imported so that, according to the minister, in Spain is ""fill out a very good rate of vaccination, and here there is no problem"". It is very important to get vaccinated for measles at 12 months of life, included in the mmr, and after taking the second dose between 3 and 4 years of age. Lot thanked the doctors that the vaccination rate in our country is so elevated, greater than 95%, so ""there is no virus circulating in our territory."" | Relinquished How can you prevent measles? The measles virus is highly infectious and spreads quickly breathing the contaminated air. In addition, it is a factor of child mortality are very important, according to WHO, daily causing the death of 450 children throughout the world. Currently there is no specific treatment for measles, but there are certain measures that can be carried out. The most important is the vaccination of the population for immunization. On the other hand, in Europe, the immunization rates in 2017 increased, except in certain countries where their health has been cropped or, what could be worse, it has grown the movement antivacunas. The measles vaccine does not cause autism In recent years has spread too much the idea that to vaccinate is counterproductive to the health of children. In Italy, for example, your government suspended a law recently that required parents to prove their children had received all vaccines. So, the doctor Roberto Burioni, professor of the University San Raffaele of Milan, noted that ""children who are not vaccinated will be at risk to other children in the school who are too young for vaccines or can't get vaccinated because they suffer from immunosuppressive diseases"". There still persists the myth that the vaccine MRR (measles, mumps, and rubella) causes autism, originating in the study Wakefiel in 1998, despite the fact that the results were false, and the author withdrew his medical license, being the main cause of that ideology antivacunas continues to spread even today.",3196,"spain"

An Infected comes with a human contact that is not protected by vaccination or previous illness, becomes ill with a probability of 95 percent. In fact, Germany had, in consultation with the WHO, the goal of measles by 2015, to eradicate. At least 95 percent of the people would have to be twice against the pathogen inoculated.

This disease, one of the most contagious in the world, can be fatal. In France, three people have died since the beginning of the year. WHO therefore appeals to the vaccination. But for doctors, this is not necessarily easy, as some patients are resisting. Benedict himself, does not get vaccinated against the measles, in the office of his general practitioner, in the 15th arrondissement of Paris. He has already done, as well as his children.

""This is a child protection act in the truest sense of the word,"" said the CDU politician in the ARD. Small children needed ""special protection"". Children could not decide for themselves whether they would be vaccinated, argued Spahn. Therefore, a vaccination is necessary. ""Measles is not a childhood disease,"" said the CDU politician. In addition, measles were ""untreatable"". The infectious disease is highly contagious and ""a torment for children and adults"".

The vaccination was a fulfillment of the Right to physical integrity, the Minister said. ""We have also eradicated the smallpox in this way,"" he said. The planned vaccination is intended to apply to day-care centres, schools, other community facilities, day care, and in refugee accommodation.

Children without measles vaccination may be excluded from attending a day nursery. Against parents in communal establishments children not vaccinated, may be imposed a fine in the amount of up to EUR 2,500.

Consultation: experts see challenges In a hearing of Experts on the draft law had warned the Confederation of national associations of local authorities, the implementation of the law could be difficult. The Association said it was a significant effort, not calculated costs and possible conflicts with stakeholders, such as the impfunwilligen parents or employees of community facilities. It must be feared that the burden are the shoulders of the controls and consequences of the introduction of vaccination by the public health service (ÖGD), which had to be strengthened because of it. In the final debate, the speakers of the Opposition pointed out that the EGDS has been saved in the past, ""broken"". Applications of the Opposition be rejected, the German Bundestag has Rejected a request from the FDP, with the title ""vaccination rates effective infection diseases eradicated"" (19/14061). The request was rejected with the votes of the factions of the CDU/CSU, the SPD and the AfD against the votes of the groups of the FDP and Alliance 90/The Greens, with the abstention of the group of The Left.

In addition, the AfD group, submitted a resolution (19/15168) was rejected with the abstention of the Left, with the majority of the other factions. The group had requested that the vaccination rates are based on a secure scientific basis, and that, therefore, the previously published studies on the basic reproduction number for measles in independent scientific studies should be checked. In addition, no compulsion should be exercised to Vaccinate. Minister: measles are not harmless Federal Minister of health, Jens Spahn (CDU) reminded that measles are not harmless and not treatable. The disease could take a malignant progression to lung and brain inflammation. In the case of a vaccination the freedom of the Individual, it is also the responsibility of the Individual and the question of whether others would be at risk. The combination vaccine works against not only measles, but also against Mumps and rubella, according to Spahn, as an additional advantage. Multiple vaccines would also tend to be less side effects. In addition, there is ""no right to rubella"". In case of doubt, it is going to prevent further diseases. The goal is, as many infectious diseases to eradicate. It could be that these international objectives pursued would be, of all things, prevents this in Germany. The CDU/CSU sees an ethical obligation to Rudolf Henke (CDU/CSU) added that there is an ethical obligation to participate in the vaccination. Community protection is a highly important public Good. With the law, the prevention will be strengthened overall, particularly vulnerable people would be protected. This was an act of social solidarity. A forced vaccination of children Henke did not want to speak, a duty of proof. SPD: With systematic vaccination, the suffering, the speaker of the SPD to prevent also made it clear that, with the systematic vaccination against measles with a lot of suffering could be avoided. Bärbel Bas (SPD) said it had been in the past few years, severe outbreaks of this disease. In such cases, the affected schools and daycare centers would be completely locked. The aim of the Reform was to protect those who could not be vaccinated, such as babies. The vaccination booklet for teachers and educators is important to be able to protect all. Sabine Dittmar (SPD) defendant, would spread to the subject of measles completely false, pseudo scientific facts, to justify a deliberate infection medically. This would be irresponsible. AfD is against compulsory vaccination, The AfD sees in vaccinations is quite an effective remedy against diseases, however, a compulsory vaccination that it is neither useful nor appropriate. Detlev Spangenberg (AfD) said, Germany is well positioned, there is at least no need for action in the case of children who were primarily vaccinated Yes. Need for action there is more likely among adults and immigrants. State pressure was therefore unnecessary, because a large majority of the population, vaccinations see a positive effect. The result of a Impfzwangs, however, are resentment, frustration and rejection. Voluntary vaccinations were more useful. In addition, information and counselling should be strengthened and an electronic reminder system for upcoming vaccinations are introduced. FDP: vaccination no injury to Andrew Ullmann (FDP) is turned against the representations, the vaccination is bodily injury. ""A little prick?"" The question was rather, what was with the suffering, when the disease is erupting once more. It is not a harmless infection diseases. Vaccinations are effective, safe, prevented suffering and death. In particular, the most Vulnerable need to be protected against such diseases, including infants and the chronically Ill. In the past years, had been saved from the Public health service, now, therefore, the measles protection act is needed. However, the Reform burden, the staff in the institutions concerned with bureaucracy and ""cons bristly Impfgegnern"". Left in favour of vaccination campaigns and education from Dr. Gesine Lötzsch (The Left party), described himself as a ""convinced Impfbefürworterin"" and reminded of a successful public campaigns against child paralysis (Poliomyelitis) in the past. Those who refuse a vaccination, increasing the risk for other people, for example, the Elderly and the Sick. This is divisive and unacceptable. However, it would be covered by the amendment to serious abuses. The EGDS are not more had been saved a broken series of vaccinations as before were to be held today. The EGDS needed in terms of personnel and financially to be strengthened. In kindergartens, schools and nursing homes should be offered by the EGDS regular series of vaccinations. It is also useful vaccination campaigns in the workplace, and an electronic vaccination plan, as well as more education to be. Green, require comprehensive vaccination strategy Also Kordula Schulz-ash (Alliance 90/The Greens) called for a comprehensive vaccination strategy. Vaccinations against infections are living up to our social solidarity with infants, small children and the sick, for any infection life-threatening it could be. The recommendations of the experts should be followed. The Green party politician said: ""We can eradicate measles in the world, if we all work together."" The bill includes some sensible provisions, such as that all the Doctors could vaccinate all patients. A key issue will be taken up, the population between the ages of 20 and 50 years of age, was vaccinated of which less than half against measles. The gaps would have to be systematically closed. The draft law of the Federal government With a mandatory vaccination for children in community facilities to fight the Federal government, the measles is more effective. The draft law provides for a mandatory Vaccination against the highly contagious viral infection in day-care centres, schools and children day care . Prior to the inclusion in such community facilities, all children must demonstrate in the future that they have effectively been vaccinated against measles. Also, employees of such bodies, as well as medical staff, must have a complete Vaccination. The measles vaccination develops its full protective effect after two doses of the vaccine. Also in asylum seeker and refugee accommodation, the residents and staff measles vaccines to demonstrate. For people with medical contraindications, and people born before 1970, does not apply to the vaccination. Who had measles, you must also be immunized, because the body is then permanently protected against the measles virus. Children are already accommodated in a community facility and employees must provide the vaccination book by the end of July 2021. Children without measles vaccination may be excluded from attending a day nursery. The act is intended to 1. March enter into force in 2020. The draft law also stipulates that parents in communal establishments children not vaccinated, a fine in the amount of up to € 2,500 can be imposed. Even against day care centers, a fine can be issued if non-vaccinated children are being cared for. The same is true for non-vaccinated employees in community and health facilities, as well as asylum-seekers accommodation and for non-vaccinated residents of these properties. The health insurance companies are obliged to do so, with the Public health service (ÖGD) are agreements about the reimbursement of the costs incurred to meet. In order to be strengthened allows volunteers number of vaccinations in schools. The request of the FDP In the fight against infectious diseases, calls the FDP group, a systematic increase in the vaccination rates. The deputies, in their application for a digital Vaccination card, with the help of every citizen of his vaccination status, at any time, can retrieve. This Vaccination should remind the citizens automatically on necessary vaccinations. In particular, in the practices of the kids, house and wife doctors should also be given to the establishment of a professional Impfmanagements. There are also model projects should be made possible in the framework of which members of other healing professions, such as nurses, midwives or pharmacists, so-called killed vaccines is expected to to vaccinate. The Robert Koch Institute (RKI) should be established in addition, a digital Impfregister, - stated in the application, which grew from the pseudonym of primary data on all vaccinations food. This data could be through vaccination rates in a timely and widely available made. The request of the Greens group of the Greens campaigns for improved Vaccination against measles. In facilities of child day-care and in particular health facilities the children would be cared for, which had not yet reached the for the measles vaccines required to age or due to diseases are not vaccinated and could be stated in an application. It is therefore appropriate, if it is to be made for their protection, the vaccination of other children and the entire staff is a prerequisite for access to these facilities will. Among other things, the deputies are demanding that, before inclusion in a facility in which children are cared for, the vaccination status is checked. In the case of incomplete Vaccination, in particular in the Absence of the second measles vaccination, should need to be rescheduled as a prerequisite for the visit to the nursery, the lack of vaccination. Furthermore, it should be given in facilities of child day - care, schools, health care facilities and other facilities with infectious diseases, especially persons at risk staff, as quickly as possible a sufficient level of Vaccination to prove. The society for telematic applications of the healthcare card (gematik) should be obliged to do so, the digital certificate of vaccination until 2021 as part of the electronic patient file (ePA) to introduce.

The WHO is pushing for more vaccinations against measles. ""A preventable disease"" Up to 2016, decreased the worldwide number of measles cases in the WHO, since then, she rises again. The main problem areas are, therefore, conflict with migration and refugee flows, as well as remote areas in poor countries. There are not vaccinated enough children. The WHO urgently requires more efforts to vaccinate every child. In the Philippines, recently more than 20 people had died of the measles, as the UN children's Fund said UNICEF on the weekend. ""Measles is a preventable disease,"" said O'brian. ""We have an extremely safe and very effective vaccine."" The Virus can invade the brain and be life-threatening. The WHO hopes to eliminate measles worldwide. The world health organization, fears of a further spread of the measles in the Philippines. More than 4,300 cases had been registered since the beginning of January, 70 people had died. Life-long immune due to vaccination, The Robert Koch Institute, adults, born after 1970 and their Impfstatuts is unclear recommends that once against the virus disease should be vaccinated. After a vaccination, immunization remains life-long. People who are older, have made according to the Robert Koch Institute, the disease with ""high probability"" and are immune to it. However, the Institute also recommends them in the case of uncertainty, the vaccination. In case of contact with the disease should be done in the case of Non-Vaccinated within three days of an immunization. The protective effect of a single vaccination is studies show that between 94 and 95 percent, with two-time even at 99 percent. Vaccination is since 2010, The Standing Committee on vaccination of the Robert Koch Institute and the routine measles vaccination in adulthood as early as 2010. Thus, outbreaks of disease are to be prevented, and the elimination of the disease - are at least driven in the European region - progress. Also, would be so Ill-protected, even people who can not permit themselves to be vaccinated, for example, chronic. Pro ",3119,"germany"

The doctors immediately zaalarmowali only. Within 72 hours, sown all persons who had contact with him. Only pomorscy doctors urge better education of parents concerning vaccines. Unfortunately, more and more of them ceases to vaccinate their children, diseases such as polio, measles or diphtheria pose a real epidemiological threat for the inhabitants of Pomerania. Do you think that parents should pay fines for evading the mandatory vaccination of the child? Yes, it is irresponsible on the part of parents, 81% fine-that's an exaggeration, but some form of comments should be 6% no, the parent should decide what is good for the baby for 13% of completions votes: 4038 - Employees of the Regional Sanitary-Epidemiological Station in Gdansk went to a Private kindergarten the British International School, visited by the patient. Detailed lists of children attending preschool education with the patient and a list of children who współuczestniczyły in extracurricular activities with the patient. Had to choose one person from close contact, which covered epidemiologicznym and that on October 24 scheduled vaccination using the MMR vaccine (against mumps, measles, rubella) to a secondary infection. Sown a total of 14 children. The condition of children with contact of the patient under observation, there were no other diseases measles, - said Anna Obuchowska, Deputy Pomor State Voivodeship Sanitary Inspector. Vaccination is a duty - Despite the fact that the Toilet more and more parents receives comments and reminders about mandatory vaccination for the child, the situation is not improving and remains more and more people shirk this duty. This situation may lead to the threat epidemiologicznym by the return of infectious diseases which could not be noted for several decades - said in a letter to the Minister of healthy Luke Szumowskiego. ""We are talking about halting the spread of scientific theories"" - It is primarily to stop the spread of pseudoscientific hypotheses that vaccinations contribute to the development of certain diseases, such as autism. Despite the fact that these reports were false that has been proven and confirmed on the basis of scientific studies, but it is antyszczepionkowe increasingly distributed, regardless of education or marital status - explains Anna Obuchowska, a spokesman WSSE. 5-year-old boy originally from Ukraine, a few days ago arrived in the Pomeranian Center of Infectious Diseases and Tuberculosis suspicion of measles. From the child obtained the material for research and confirmed the assumptions of doctors.In addition, one of the children who had contact with a sick child he moved with his parents abroad. It was necessary to inform the authorities of a foreign state that their site could appear dangerous, infectious disease. Employees of the station were forced to notify passengers of the plane who is a child with a suspected disease. This is already another story in the country this year.Pomeranian only, representatives of the Department of Health, office of the Marshal, a Provincial Consultant in Pediatrics, the Chairman of Regional advice of a Doctor, advice Nurses, and Midwives - all signed a petition to the Minister of health about the large-scale education of parents regarding vaccines.From the report of the Supreme chamber of control indicate that in the years 2015-2017 bounce rate of vaccination in the Pomeranian Voivodeship for 1000 people aged 0-19 years in 2017. he was one of the highest in the country. There are fears that under the influence of movements antyszczepionkowych, parents failed to vaccinate their children, diseases such as polio, measles or diphtheria pose a real epidemiological threat for the inhabitants of Pomerania.The authors note that mandatory vaccinations provide protection and stability populacyjną. There it is in case of above 95%.Pomorscy experts drew attention to the fact that reducing the number of mandatory vaccinations is the result of movements antyszczepionkowych and a wide range of people representing the ""alternative"" lifestyle. They believe that any vaccination is considered to be ""unnecessary immunizations"" of the body.According WSSE, which from 2015. collects information about the parents from compulsory vaccination of children shows that such cases are more and more. In the past three years, the number of parents who have not vaccinated children rose more than 2 million(of 2015. - 2630, 2016. - 3053, 2017. - 3989 until 30.09.2018 year. - 4764).Mandatory vaccinations relate to diseases such as: HEPATITIS b, tuberculosis, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, Haemophilus inphluenzae, polio, measles, mumps, rubella, pneumococcus.

"1939","Measles, syphilis, tuberculosis... Why these diseases are forgotten are back REVIVAL - according To a Unicef report released on February 28, measles is experiencing a resurgence on a global scale, and particularly in France. For the past few years, many diseases that were thought to be extinct, in the image of the measles are back. We asked Eric To Ortenzio, medical epidemiologist, what was the cause of these return visits. Unicef is launching a cry of alarm. In a report published Thursday, February 28, it indicates that the measles would be increased in 98 countries. With an increase, from 2017 and 2018, 2269 case, France is one of the ten countries responsible for three-quarters of the total increase in cases in 2018. Nothing that from January to July 2018, nearly 3,000 adults and children have been contaminated in the country. As measles now raging, the scurvy, destroyed in the Eighteenth century, has recently re-emerged even in developed countries. A few cases have been reported in the United States and in France. Tuberculosis, virtually eradicated in the 80's, key, it, 5000 French per year at the present time, while the syphilis, virtually disappeared in the late 90s, infecting, today, 400 to 500 people per year in france. Finally, the cholera would still be three million people each year in the world. In the Face of what seems to be a ""revival"" of old infectious diseases, we asked Eric To Ortenzio, medical epidemiologist and researcher in emerging infectious diseases at the national Institute of health and medical research (Inserm), how this was possible. LCI : How can we explain this resurgence of certain diseases ? Eric D Ortenzio : ""in recent years, I have the impression that we are witnessing an increase in precariousness among certain populations, which represents a favorable ground for the development of scurvy and tuberculosis. Concerning the latter, the incidence [number of case, ed.] has clearly increased in recent years. The bacterium passes through the spatters, by air, from one person to the other. And promiscuity promotes recess in the transmission. The disadvantaged people who live in the street, in camps, or in a dwelling unsafe are the most fragile. Scurvy, linked to a deficit in vitamin C, for there still people in precarious situations and who do not have the means to eat every day fruits and vegetables. It is a deficit is very extreme. For measles, we are seeing a resurgence of cases in recent years in France and in Europe and this is clearly due to the absence of a good vaccine coverage. To ensure that the disease does not spread in the population, it is necessary to be above 90% or even 95%. And currently, we are in France and in-below 80%. This is in part due to the anti-vaccines, but also to people born before the government recommends vaccination for measles in 1983 and who were never vaccinated. Syphilis takes from its side, has its origin in the relaxation of the prevention on sexually transmitted diseases. We had, through campaigns, successfully lowered the incidence of the disease, but the weakening of attention leads to the recovery of this contagious disease. If the cholera is re-emerging in Algeria, the disease in fact, has never really disappeared. There are epidemics regularly in Africa, or India, or Haiti. The virus is present in certain communities, and according to the conditions of hygiene, the water supply, it can recur. In Algeria, this would be linked to a water source that was not necessarily well controlled. In France, it may happen that imported cases of choléras erupts, but it is almost impossible that the epidemic moved there, given the level of hygiene that we have in the country"". Video-Holiday : a measles outbreak in Val Thorens How to fight against the recurrence of these diseases ? ""Currently in France, the measles is all the same on the front of the stage with a real risk of an epidemic. There is, on the side of the doctors office or the hospital, nurses, a big work of awareness of the vaccination to continue. Regarding syphilis, it is necessary to sensitize the populations truly at risk, or young and probably homosexuals. The populations potentially affected by tb should also, ideally, be the subject of an early screening to avoid contamination. Scurvy is for the moment fairly anecdotal in France, but remain on alert. In all cases, there is a component of prevention and health education which seems very important to me. It is necessary to explain how diseases spread and how they can be prevented"". This reflects something of our society ? ""If we put it all in the same bag, there are when even the insecurity that emerges. Even if you need to verify this through studies, it could be that this increase of insecurity in certain places or in certain populations is related to the resurgence of scurvy, or tuberculosis. The emergence of syphilis, and measles can be the result of a form of release general on the prevention of certain infectious diseases that it was believed to have gone missing. As for aids, the new generations have forgotten what looked like certain infectious diseases to the image of the measles. They have been forgotten in the unconscious of the people, less aware of"".",3102,"france"
"1940","The epidemic of measles has already made 70 victims in Samoa.

FK with SF and AFP•, Marie-Paule, of Rusuran Jean-Marc Ségalin The epidemic of measles in the Pacific is not weakened. It is up to the Samoan islands that it is still the most victims, with 4 of 217 reported cases, including 70 deaths. A mission support sent on to the place by the French Polynesia has returned to the Fenua in the beginning of the week.If the first mission from 22 to 27 November, was to make an inventory and identify needs, the second, from 29 November to 8 December, composed of a dozen of doctors and nurses, allowed to actively participate in the mass immunization campaign launched by the government of Samoa.The vaccination rate was 30% of the population before the beginning of the epidemic in mid-October. The samoan government has stated that the vaccination teams deployed throughout the islands of the south Pacific had managed to immunize 90% of its 200,000 inhabitants.How vaccinia-t-on of a short time to prevent a pandemic more important ? We listen to Marie-Paule De Rusuran, doctor of public health, who was part of the first mission:French Polynesia, vaccination has been mandatory since 1987. Yet, despite good immunization coverage, importation of cases is not excluded, some people are not, or incompletely vaccinated,.The minister of health, Jacques Raynal, announced this morning at a press conference on the preventive measures taken here in Tahitian, with travellers and health professionals.The directorate of health recommends that children, adolescents and adults who have not had measles, or non-or incompletely vaccinated, perform a catch-up vaccination. Two doses of the trivalent vaccine MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) are required, and allow for a protection close to 100%.The details of Jean-Marc Ségalin, physician in charge of the office of programs of infectious diseases to the Health directorate.According to the minister of Health, vaccine supplies are sufficient in the territory. To recall, the last outbreak of measles in Polynesia dates back to 1997 and the last case of measles in 2001.Given the seriousness of the health situation in Samoa, the UN has decided to release an emergency aid of $ 2.6 million to fight the disease.On 4 693 cases of measles identified in Samoa, 229 people remain hospitalized, including 16 children in a critical condition.Among the 70 people who died are 61 children of four years or less.Other islands in the Pacific are affected. In New Zealand it accounts for 2 149 cases, of which 1 711 in the Auckland region. The disease is also present in Tonga (440 cases), Fiji (18 cases), and Queensland, Australia.The health authorities have accused the anti-vaccines to be the cause of this upsurge of measles.",3088,"france"
"9105","In the first two months of 2019 have been counted more than 34,000 new cases of measles in the whole of Europe, according to the latest results published by the World Health Organization. These data confirm the ""alarming"" trend of the past two years, which has produced ""an unprecedented increase in the number of people infected by a preventable disease and too many have lost their lives because of it"", as has assured the Regional Director of Emergencies of the WHO Regional Office for Europe, Dorit Nitzan. The healthcare organization has already launched the voice of alarm in the last month of February, after the publication of the data of 2018, the year in which were recorded 83.540 measles cases and 74 deaths, figures that tripled the 25.869 cases and 42 deaths, 2017 and that are more than 15 times higher than 5.273 cases and 13 deaths of 2016. In total, from 1 January 2018 until march of this same year, 47 of the 53 countries in the region have reported a total of more than 115,000 cases of measles, of which more than 60% required hospitalization, and there have been about 90 deaths. Spain is not completely free. This year there have been reported outbreaks of measles in Catalonia, two of them still active according to published The Country, which have left about thirty cases. Last year there were 224 infections, half in the Valencian Community, according to the Research Institute Carlos III. Outbreaks have been widespread among the population without vaccinating once imported the virus from other countries. ""This is unacceptable, and we must be more daring and to expand our response to the next level,"" says Nitzan. For his part, the director of Communicable Diseases of the WHO Regional Office for Europe, Masoud Dara, has ensured that they have been ""working closely with the countries of the region to improve their capacity to protect children against measles."" However, Dara said that ""this alarming resurgence is a warning that the immunization coverage in the region still is not enough."" The war triggered the cases in Ukraine, The spread of the virus in the continent occurred despite the fact that in 2017 the european region reached its highest estimated coverage for the second dose of the measles vaccine, with a rate of 90%. However, the who states that the countries with the largest outbreaks are that they have suffered a decline or a stagnation of the general coverage of vaccination. Among the countries with the highest number of cases accumulated so far this year include especially Ukraine, with more than 25,000 infected, it builds up more than 70% of the registered cases in Europe. In this country we have united several factors that have made the situation worse, as the rejection of the vaccination that was shot in 2008, after the death of a young man a few time to get vaccinated. Despite the fact that his death was not related to the vaccine, the case caused a great impact, and the coverage increased from 97% in 2007 to 56% in 2010. In the following years there was a moderate recovery, so that in 2014 began the conflict with Russia over the annexation of Crimea, that had a huge impact on vaccination rates in the region. The paralysis of the government for the conflict caused a shortage of vaccine in 2016, the year in which the coverage became to collapse up to 42%. Although the figures have improved dramatically in the past two years, the country is still below the 87%, far from the 95% that is necessary to prevent the spread of the disease. Marginality, social exclusion and antivacunas The incidence of the disease is also very high in other countries of eastern Europe, such as Slovakia, Romania or Lithuania, and between those who accumulate most cases stands out Serbia, which has surpassed the 5,000 infected since January of 2018. For its part, in western Europe include the cases of France, Italy and Greece, with more than 2,000 new cases each during the same period. The reasons for vaccination campaigns do not reach all the population needed differ greatly between countries and, as explained to the journal.is the president of the Spanish Association of Vacunología, Amos Garcia. ""In some countries, the main cause has been the poverty that has emerged in the wake of the economic crisis and the lack of resources, as could happen in Romania or Greece, while in countries like France or Italy have influenced other factors, such as the existence of pockets of social exclusion and the resistance of some parents to vaccinate their children."" Although in some countries such as France and Italy, there are sectors of the population that have difficulty accessing the health care system, the growing distrust of vaccines may have played a major role in the decline of vaccination coverage. In addition, in the alpine country, the distrust has been azuzada by some political parties, such as the Movement 5 Stars, who campaigned with a program antivacunas, reiterating the non-existent link between vaccines and autism. The expansion of this type of ideas contrary to the vaccinations have become popular in recent years, and the commissioner of health of the European Union, Vytenis Andriukaitis, accused the populist politicians of being irresponsible for spreading ""false news"" about the safety of vaccines and to generate a climate of skepticism. Spain, among the countries with the least infected In Spain, the percentages of vaccination to rub against the 97% and García said that ""the low percentage of children not vaccinated is due to social exclusion and, to a lesser extent, fathers and mothers who have doubts."" According to this specialist, these doubts may be understandable, ""since measles is a disease that is barely visible in Spain"". The data provided by WHO show that just accounted for a little more than 200 cases from January 2018 up to the past month of April, which is one of the lower incidence rates in the continent, only enhanced by the nordic countries. While according to the latest data of the European Centre for Disease Control, in the first three months of the year in Spain there were 37 confirmed cases of measles. Garcia says that these good results can give the feeling among some parents that it is not necessary to vaccinate, but insists on the necessity of ""vigilant"" and continue to vaccinate, because, although the shoots spot are ""inevitable"" as those that have occurred recently in Barcelona, Madrid and Guadalajara, with dozens infected, a high rate of vaccination ""prevents that in Spain are of an epidemic, as happens now in Italy or France"".",3079,"spain"

Expecting a return of the virus, but not so fast.

Fragile people, who can not be vaccinated. How to fight the measles then? The Ats is involving the sports clubs, to intercept the thirty-forty year olds are still not protected. ""Vaccination against measles is arrived in Italy in the '80s,"" explains Marino Faccini of the department of Prevention and infectious diseases of the Ats, but later spread in the '90s. This means that many young people and adults have discovered, and among them circulates the virus. The peak was expected, even if we thought we were to arrive later"". In 2017, was exploded to the epidemic, with 387 cases. Last year, the curve has dropped, to return to the peak with the beginning of 2019. The problem is widespread at national and global level, from Asia to Africa, so much so that the world health Organization estimates an increase of cases of 300 percent. In Italy at 31 march, touched share of 557 patients with average age of 30 years. 87.5 percent of the people infected was vaccinated when he contracted the virus. ""It is often the adults transmit the disease to infants"" continues Faccini. Measles spreads through the air and everyone can pass the virus up to 18 people. ""It is one of the diseases most contagious: it starts with a sore throat, conjunctivitis, high fever, and then appear the characteristics red spots on the skin"". The critical moment is the first , even when the pathology is not overt, and the incubation lasts ten to fifteen days. Which explains why the measles travels so fast. The trend is seasonal, with an increase in cases in late winter and spring. What are the risks? ""For the very young and the elderly is higher than the probability of complications, such as pneumonia, respiratory failure, and encephalitis"". The tool to curb the flu is the vaccine. ""It is also used for prophylaxis post-exposure - highlights Faccini -, but can be useful only if taken within 72 hours after contact with the sick person. In this case, can block the virus"". Clearly it is better to play in advance. The more the serum is provided free of charge for children from 13 months of life, to the boys who still have not completed the doses and adults. It is especially recommended to women of childbearing age, to the partners of pregnant women and to those in the family, a person with a low immune system. ""The vaccine consists of two doses - explains the head of the Ats, the first protects 95 percent of the cases, the recall serves to cover the five percent that is not responding"". The problem is intercepting those who are still not protected. The Ats is carrying out an information campaign on its website and on the page Facebook and to invite the parents to accompany the child to the first injection and to require the vaccine. Not only. ""We try to involve the sports community, because so many are into sports.

Vote, Vote, Share Feedback, a Growing number of cases of measles (Shutterstock.com during the first six months was recorded 41 thousand cases of measles, - reports the who. According to the world Health Organization, this is the worst result in eight years. The disease in this year she has killed 37 people, of which most 14 - in Serbia. Most patients, however in Ukraine: 23 thousands of children and adults. Another place to niechlubnej the list are France, Italy and Greece. In each of these States got sick at least more than a thousand people. Why in the first place is Ukraine? This is partly the effect of the turmoil of war. Already in 2014, experts alarmowali that Ukraine does not have enough vaccine, which was explained by the relationship with the political situation in the country. But over time, it is not the availability of drugs has become a problem. In summer the Ministry of health of Ukraine reported that in pharmacies is currently more than 900 thousand. the vaccine against measles. The problem is that people do not want vaccinations. The Ukrainian Ministry of Health estimated that the state immunized against measles in recent years were only around 50%. In the period from September to December 2017. made of 65 percent. routine vaccination of children. Throughout 2017 within the framework of the immunization programme, which they planted 88 percent. Ukrainian children. For comparison, in 2008 to 95%. Ukrainian children received two doses of measles vaccine. What has changed? Ukrainians believe antyszczepionkowcom, and the situation is not repaired, also there is no trust in government institutions. On package with water to the mill for environments antyszczepionkowych there have been cases of complications after receiving some vaccines. For parents it was a clear signal that all vaccines are harmful and therefore should be avoided. The reluctance of Ukrainians are not unique, unfortunately, is a pan-European trend. In 2016, measles was hurting the fewest people, i.e., just over 5,000 people - it was a record spanning 10 years. Now, however, in any European country, the incidence of comes. This is due to the popularity of the movement antyszczepionkowych. National Institute of Public Health (PZH) collects information about the number of failures relating to mandatory immunizations for persons under the age of 19. The data shows that in recent years significantly increased the number of refusals of vaccination. In 2010 there were 3437 deny, in 2017 – up to 30 089. In Poland a noticeable effect. ""If in 2010 it was reported in Poland, 13 are infected with measles people, two years later, patients were 70, and in 2014 – 100. This year – barring anything unforeseen – we will close probably the number 160-200 of the disease. The threats that have successfully managed our parents ' generation, once again become topical, and people get diseases that, until recently, absolutely not zaprzątaliśmy his head. Even worse news – sick at his own request, and with epidemiological risk should be added another, the most dangerous disease: incurable stupidity,"" wrote he, Lukas Mihalik on pages WP Tech in the text ""Patient zero, congratulations. What you did Armageddon"". Threatens us epidemic? In an interview with WP Tech, Jan Bondar, press Secretary of the Chief Sanitary Inspectorate, has calmed down: ""Currently, the threat wyolbrzymiane. Differently wyszczepialność – about 95-94%. – and this level is still very high. We are not facing an epidemic, because the vast majority of the Polish population is stable, children are vaccinated, and adults in most or been vaccinated or sick, gaining immunity. So there is no possibility that the virus he circled population. If someone comes to us with measles and fall – that is statistically most likely in the environment where all zaszczepieni, it will not hurt anyone but yourself."" The problem starts in that case, if a stranger appeared, for example, to the factory, which employs many unvaccinated foreigners. And it happens. At the beginning of the year, the district Sanitary inspector (PPIS) in Ostróda reported that among Ukrainian citizens working in enterprises Animex Morliny discovered several cases of measles. ""For many years we have not had in ostróda County case of measles, and at the present time, when five people were taken to hospital with symptoms of measles, we see this event as extraordinary"", said Pavel Sokolov. Why do people not vaccinated? The popularity of the movement is derived antyszczepionkowych the effectiveness of vaccination. Prevention, used modern medicine, became a victim of its own success. People no longer realize how bad the consequences can be some infectious diseases. So when antyszczepionkowcy repeated constantly in the media some isolated cases of complications poszczepiennych, it is difficult to oppose them as the media, for example, a child who got measles and died – because, thanks to universal vaccination such tragedies were solved, – said in an interview with WP Tech Ian Cooper. The problem, however, is that the success antyszczepionkowców it is also a merit of the Russian trolls. From the analysis of American scientists shows that these studies are 22 times more about vaccines than the average Twitter user. These records are the same profiles that caught meddling in American elections.

"18100","The 17-year-old admitted to the hospital with the measles, in Lisbon, he died in the early hours of Wednesday. He was admitted to the hospital since this past weekend due to a case of pneumonia, bilateral. I was not vaccinated and did not resist the cause of your current state of health. The confirmation was given by Adalberto Campos Fernandes, minister of state for Health, in a press conference, which was attended also by the intervention of san Francisco George, director-general of health. According to the information advanced by fred and George, and the death was declared after five in the morning.” On the eve of that day, the minister and the director-general of health, have been in the hospital D. Estefânia, to keep up with the evolution of the status of the health of the young person. Centro Hospitalar de Lisboa Central (CHLC), explained in a statement, the young man died, “in the aftermath of a serious medical condition infectious pneumonia bilateral — pox,” and said more: “The family has accompanied the entire evolution of the clinical situation, and CHLC, with some sadness, regrets the occurrence, and provide to the public, especially in actions”. A young woman becomes infected for the child of a 13-month period, which would not be vaccinated. The girl was later transferred to the hospital of Cascais and the Hospital of D. Estefania, where he was in a room that is in isolation in intensive care. According to the Directorate-General of Health, there are now 21 confirmed cases of measles. The schools are on high alert following the outbreak of measles. “We are not afraid of the scenarios of a major epidemic,” says Francis George At a press conference from the Ministry of Health, the director-general of health has assured that there are reasons for alarmismos. “Polio will never be the expression of a large-scale in the Uk. We are not afraid of the scenarios of a major outbreak,” said Francis George. The director-general of health, made the question of the cheapening of the movement of anti-vaccination in the Uk, contrary to what happens in other countries, such as Italy. The rate of vaccination coverage is now around 96 per cent, a level that allows you to avoid any scenario of a major epidemic. “The roof is so high that the measles, which is struggling to move forward,“ said the chief of police. Francis George, has ensured that there are vaccines for all children under the age of vaccination. In addition, the director-general of health, also revealed that “there is a reservation strategy for the 200 thousand doses of the vaccine available to all adults under the age of 40 years old who are not vaccinated, and the wish to do so. If you are 40 years of age will be required, both in theory and with a high index of probability, the antibodies in your body, which it is not necessary for the vaccine, said Francis George. Without giving a lot of detail about the status of the health of the other people infected with the Measles virus, the head of the Directorate-General of Health has ensured that the status of the health of the baby, the 13-month period, which have affected six other people, including a 17-year-old, who died on Wednesday — showing a trend that it “is not a matter of concern”. The number of children who can not be vaccinated in the Uk, Francis, George, is estimated to be roughly 10-thousand to 15-thousand,“ a phenomenon that is insignificant, especially when compared to other countries. You already have a confirmed 21 cases of measles in the Uk, and there are still 18 cases in the research, told the guardian. Up to now, eight cases of suspected measles have not been confirmed. “We are at the beginning of the process of stabilization,” Adalberto Campos Fernandes, for his part, said that the measles outbreak is “in the process of resolution. “We are at the beginning of the process of stabilization. The device is working, health officials are working with the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Education are working together to calm down the parents. There is no cause for alarm,“ said the official. They were challenged to take a stand on the debate that promises to dominate the political agenda and the media — vaccination should be mandatory? The parents that do not should be held accountable for? the minister of state for Health, said that this was not the time to have this discussion. “It wasn't for a lack of a requirement that we achieve rates of 95% for immunisation,” he began by saying to the minister, stating that no one should “jump the gun” in their “personal opinions” about parents who choose not to vaccinate their children. “[We should not] make the sacrifice in public of a one.” In the end, Adalberto Fernandes on the left, still with a note: “I'd like to say is that you will trust in the health authorities, and the health of the public. Needless to say, firmly, that the main debate in modern societies is not so much whether the vaccine should be mandatory or not. It is what it is today, the value of the best evidence and science rather than a collection of opinions, few that they are often responsible for incidents and occurrences that could have been avoided. The vaccination is very safe and effective one. It's time to stop with the reviews, and an end to the speculation surrounding the scientific evidence“.",3032,"portugal"
"480","2019 is set to be a red stone such as measles in Belgium : 397 cases of this disease have been identified in the first nine months of the year, according to a survey conducted by Dr. Monalisa Zampieri, a pediatrician at CHU Saint-Pierre. These figures are confirmed by the balance sheets semi-annual installments of Sciensano, the Institute of public health federal. This is more than triple the year 2018, while the goal of the authorities was to eradicate the disease for this year. It starts as a cold with high fever. But very quickly, small red spots extend over the body, from the head to the feet. To eradicate the disease, only one way exists : vaccination. Philippe Lepage, professor of pediatrics and physician at the University Children's hospital Queen Fabiola, has observed almost a case per day since the beginning of the year in her service. These cases, he attributes to poor immunization coverage. ""It is very good for the babies everywhere in Belgium, but the reminder that adolescence is more random according to the regions of Belgium. There is greater discipline in Flanders than in Wallonia and Brussels. For us physicians, this is a daily task to remind the risk to people incompletely vaccinated. ""Laura Cornelissen, an expert in epidemiology, in Sciensano, grade the about. ""Preventative medicine is a regional competency, and that is for sure, the numbers are not the same in the three regions. If the first dose of vaccination, carried out at the age of twelve months, is identical in the three Regions and higher than the threshold of the WHO, the world health Organization, ca is difficult, however, for the 2nd dose which is to be taken in adolescence, it is 87 per cent in Flanders, and 76% in Wallonia and Brussels. Low immunization in the generation of 20-30 years, This expert also reminds us of the epidemic in the prison of Lantin, who has weighed heavily in the number of cases identified in Wallonia. Another explanation is provided by the family planning of Charleroi, it is revealed the sobering fact that : the generation of 20 -30 years would be much less vaccinated than the other. Perhaps the effect of the campaigns anti-vaccinations that have affected a lot of young people in recent years. The health issue is vital : measles can have permanent effects on the level of the brain and the lungs and even death. The peak of measles in Belgium must also be contextualized in the whole of Europe. According to Sciensano, 120.000 cases of measles have been identified in Europe in the past 12 months. Among them, 10 deaths, including two in France, one in Italy and another in the United Kingdom. The measles virus is two times more contagious than the flu.",3018,"belgium"

The latest figures show that it is more urgent than ever to return to promote with effectiveness, determination and, above all, clarity the benefits of vaccination. We are incredibly lucky to live in an era that has recognized and successfully tapped the power of vaccination, but due to the spread of hoaxes and false myths, often fueled by unjustified alarmism in the media, we are in danger of making dangerous steps backwards. The vaccines – ends – are safe and beneficial, there is no scientific basis that proves the link or correlation between these and some diseases such as, for example, the autism"".At the global level 19.4 million children in the world are still not fully protected from diseases easily preventable, and preventable by vaccines, Including the measles. In spite of the fact there is an available vaccine safe and effective, measles remains a leading cause of death among children.In 2015, there are states in the world 134mila deaths due to this infectious disease, in the majority of cases in children under 5 years of age: approximately 367 deaths per day, 15 deaths every hour. Between 2000 and 2015, it is estimated that vaccination has prevented approximately 20.3 million dead, by encouraging a decline in measles deaths of 79%.In the same year, about 85% of the world's children received one dose of measles vaccine within the first year of life, while in 2000 the coverage was 73%. But despite the progress made, every year 1.5 million children die due to vaccine-preventable diseases. And despite more and more children have access to immunization programs, since 2010, the global coverage is increased by just 1%.A slow progress that endangers the health of children. Even today there are still countries in the world where the vaccination is still struggling to overcome the 80% share, with a gap still strong compared to the 95% needed to ensure protection from the disease on a large scale.

To those who make the choice not to vaccinate their children, this is what an 8-month-old baby with measles looks like.  I haven’t actively posted this picture on social media until now, as I didn’t want to be accused of scaremongering.  Anyone who knows or has seen Marshall will know he is the happiest baby you will ever meet, until a few weeks ago when he started getting poorly.    We have now been in hospital since 31st October when his rash came out, he refused food and began to get dehydrated.  Since getting measles he has suffered with so much pain, lost a lot of weight from not eating or drinking and has been unsettled and crying a lot.  He now has an incredibly low immune system and we have been advised not to take him out the house for a minimum of two weeks for him to recover however this could be extended due to the cold weather.  The part that annoys me the most is this could’ve been prevented.  Marshall is too young for his MMR but there are plenty of other adults who choose not to vaccinate their babies who are old enough.    Babies like Marshall rely on other babies to have their MMR to prevent this from happening.  WHY would you want to see your baby go through this when a vaccine can stop this. And you have the power to stop other babies suffering too.  Please vaccinate your children.    There have now been over 900 confirmed cases of measles in the U.K. for 2018.

Unicef is vaccinating thousands of children against the virus and is distributing life-saving drugs in the health centers.

The kits contain antibiotics, rehydration salts, Vitamin A, anti-pain, anti-pyretics and other aid to more than 111.000 people affected by this viral disease highly contagious and potentially lethal. ""We are facing this alarming situation because of the millions of congolese children have not received routine vaccinations and do not have access to the medical care they need when they get sick - has continued Beigbeder -.

"5399","in the photo: Credit: UNICEF An impressive new study has shown that there is no connection between autism and vaccines for measles, rubella and mumps, in short, do not increase the risk of developing this condition. Let's see in detail, this research takes the analysis beyond 10 years of data on Danish children. Search. Experts have collected the data of 657.461 children between 1999 and 2010 and followed them in the course of the years, 6.517 of these were diagnosed with autism. Comparing children vaccinated and those not vaccinated, the experts have come to the conclusion that vaccinations do not increase the risk of autism, even in subjects with no relatives with autism or with risk factors, and even in relation to other vaccinations or specific time periods after vaccination. Vaccines do not fit. Once again, scientists have shown that there are reasons to believe that vaccination against measles, rubella and mumps are considered to be causes of autism. The study, titled ‘Measles, Mumps, Rubella Vaccination and Autism: A Nationwide Cohort Study’, was published in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine, and represents yet another scientific study that debunks the unfounded theory that believes the vaccines the cause of autism. Because we think that vaccines are responsible for autism. The hoax about vaccines that cause autism is born in the far away February 28, 1998 when the physician Andrew Wakefield published a study performed on 12 children, 12 only, who were in the hospital with an inability to understand language, diarrhoea, and abdominal pain. Tested, it was found that 8 of them show symptoms associated with the vaccines against measles, rubella and mumps. The study has received a huge resonance in the media, but a few years later, in 2004, it was discovered that the data reported by the doctor were manipulated in order to demonstrate that the trivalent vaccine was responsible for autism. The research of Wakefield was withdrawn, and the man was banished from the Order of doctors. But why invent such a hoax? Money. It turned out that Wakefield had a pending patent for a new measles vaccine that, according to him, would not have caused the autism. In short, to be able to market its vaccine, Wakefield would be made to discredit what was already accusing him, falsely, of cause autism.",2928,"italy"

""It was a heartrending story, I was following this story for a month, the child was followed in the hospital, but unfortunately we are in an epidemic of measles and unvaccinated children, and adults not vaccinated, at risk children and fragile like that of Monza, which was recovering from leukemia, that we would be saved from leukemia, died of the measles"".

"5400","I believe that over 99% of both of the no-vax, both of the pro-vax, I never heard of a disease from the name really loud: “panencefalite sclerosing subacute by measles virus mutated” or “encephalitis of van Bogaert” (P. E. S. S. for the insiders). The fact that a deadly disease in 100% of cases is so little-known is due to a simple fact: in the last decades, panencefalite is gradually disappearing in the Countries with health care advanced (including, of course, Italy). Unfortunately, in the developing Countries, the panencefalite continues to exist and, indeed, recent data indicate that this complication of measles is more frequent than hitherto believed. In particular, there is a case of panencefalite each of the 609 cases of measles when the disease being contracted in the first year of life, less frequently if measles is contracted in more mature age. I leave to the intelligence of the no-vax discover the reason of this disappearance (in some Countries) of a fatal disease. I can only add that no certain case of panencefalite has never occurred in subjects vaccinated against measles. A disease as terrible As ever, I feel empowered to write something about this unique disease? Well, I had to study it on the “sacred texts”, given my specialty (neurology), but then I had no way to diagnose it in the hospital, and also to follow the tragic evolution. To see a child or a teenager lose before the mental faculties, then the motor, with the continuous shock, involuntary muscle (myoclonies) and after 1-2 years to die, it is a pain that can not forget. For the sake of completeness, I have to say that I have had the opportunity to study post-mortem some encefali of patients who died from the disease, and then to know in all details the serious injuries that characterize it. This is to make people understand that my experience of the panencefalite is a bit different from those who have read some article on the internet or has participated in any “social” where everyone says what they like, but the scientific correctness is a fugitive. To explain a little better the singularity of this disease, we have to say that the panencefalite develops from 2 to over 10 years after contracting the measles, gets worse and worse for about 2 years and it always ends with the death of the patient. The virus can survive for years, As we have already noted, this complication of measles occur, fortunately rarely, but it is considerably more frequent when measles is contracted in the first 12 months of life, when the infant has not been vaccinated, as the immune system is not yet fully able to protect themselves from the disease. This fact has obvious implications: epidemics of measles should be avoided not only for the mortality and the complications, the immediate cause, but also to avoid infecting subjects not yet adequately protected from the immune system. In such patients, the measles virus can survive for years in the cells of the brain, but it loses some fragments of his genetic heritage. Consequently can never form virus full able to exit from the host cell and then infect other cells. The incomplete virus bodies remain inside the cell that made them, but pass on to neighboring cells via the tight connections that exist between the nerve cells (the “synapse”: the points of contact between the neuron and the neuron that allow the exchange of information between the cell and the cell). A case out of a thousand measles This unique mechanism of the spread of infection is well explained by the long latency (i.e. the interval between measles and the panencefalite), is the progression so slow of the disease (years). I remember that as a rule, the virus diseases (influenza, measles, chicken pox, polio) are acute and of short duration. With the recent epidemic that occurred in Italy you are ensured between 2017 and 2018, more than 7 thousand cases of measles, with at least 6 fatal cases. In the same period were vaccinated in Italy hundreds of thousands of children, and of these he is not dead no, nor has there were no complications of certain vaccine-as particularly serious. Such simple data should make us reflect a little bit and it seems to me it is not difficult to understand which side to hang over the balance of the relationship between risks and benefits. Given that we must expect also a case of panencefalite every thousand cases of measles, it is virtually certain that in the next 10-12 years we will also have 6-8 cases of panencefalite as a result of the epidemic of this year. For the sake of completeness it must be said that some of the new antiviral drugs are able to stop the progression of the panencefalite, if the diagnosis is made early and therapy is maintained in the long term.",2918,"italy"

"1941","An epidemic of measles seems to be related to the Fair of ham in Bayonne EPIDEMIC - fifty cases of measles have been reported in recent weeks in New-Aquitaine. They may be related to the Fair of ham in Bayonne. For the regional Agency of Health (ARS), still too few French people are vaccinated for this highly contagious illness that can be serious. They almost all took part in the ham Fair in Bayonne (Pyrénées Atlantiques), between 18 and 21 April. It is the common point of the fifty people, aged 18 to 39 years of age, who have contracted measles in recent weeks in New-Aquitaine. A very contagious disease and can be serious for vulnerable people. Alerted as early as last week by the first case, the regional Agency of health (ARS) found that there was ""no serious issue"". All in all, a dozen people were hospitalized, mostly as a preventive measure, or according to symptoms. People who are ""not vaccinated or poorly vaccinated"" Highly contagious, measles spreads very easily by direct contact or through the air expired. A place crowded like the ham Fair was therefore a favourable ground for this contamination, explained the ARS. Not to mention the promiscuity of gourmets. Those diagnosed were ""not vaccinated or poorly vaccinated"" by a great majority, pointed out to the ARS. The organization has also emphasized the importance of the measles vaccine, effective in 85% to 95% of cases. Mainly originating in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques, but also other departments aquitanians (Landes, Correze, Haute-Vienne), the patients identified were followed closely by the doctors. With the help of the ARS, the latter should ensure the monitoring and information of the immediate family, professional, or school of patients, the search for possible frail people who could contract the disease. A second wave of infections is expected If the ARS expects that the number of cases related to the Fair ""be quiet"", a ""wave"" secondary individuals infected by the first patient could occur in the coming days. A period of time that corresponds to the incubation period of 7 to 18 days of the virus. ""The discovery of new cases, the emergence of secondary cases, but also exporting cases to other regions are to be expected,"" warns Public Health France in a point dating back to may 9. Since 1 January 2019, 953 cases of measles have been reported in 76 departments (as against 2186 cases over the same period in 2018, says the bulletin on the epidemiological situation of SPF.

"1942","PREVIOUSLY | The debate over a century ago. The minister of Health has explained that the children will have to endure eleven vaccines from 2018, while few countries impose such constraints. Zoom back on the history of vaccination, which is superimposed on a mistrust which will crescendo in the population. It is now recognised. Discussed in June, the transition from three to eleven vaccines mandatory on 1 January 2018 has been made official by the minister of Health Agnes Buzyn. In addition to the diphtheria, tetanus, and polio, the children will be immunized against pertussis, measles, mumps, rubella, hepatitis B, the bacterium Haemophilus influenzae, pneumococcal, and meningococcal C, in which the vaccines are recommended today. In France, officially, only three vaccines are mandatory. They relate to the three diseases : diphtheria(compulsory since 1938) tetanus (since 1940) and poliomyelitis(since 1964) But in reality, the public authorities may recommend more. For example against measles, mumps, rubella, or tuberculosis, with the famous “BCG”. This vaccine is “BCG” (for “bilié of Calmette and Guerin”) was invented in 1921. It is very common in France, but not mandatory. In 1948, a quarter of a century after its creation, make it compulsory was already a debate. For proof, the “Forum of Paris” provided a broadcast on November 15, 1948 : Listen to Listen to The ""Forum of Paris"" and the OCG required, the 15/11/1948 20 min The ""Forum of Paris"" and the OCG required, the 15/11/1948 Since 2008, upon the decision of the Agency of the drug, the laboratories, who have a financial interest, shall sell and the more the DTP alone, but combined with five or six vaccine strains. That is to say that the vaccination includes immunization against all other diseases, excluding the mandatory schedule. There is talk of a vaccine “pentavalent” or “hexavalent”, which also includes hepatitis B. the distress of The vaccine That placing on the market of vaccines in excess of the mandatory framework has strengthened the opposition of some families to vaccination in general. An article in the journal public Health noted that, according to a French study of 2004, 55% of respondents felt “very scary” to be immunized with a new vaccine, and 22 % put in doubt the security measures around the manufacture of vaccines. To LISTEN to ALSO Listen to Antivaccin, to the origin of the doubt 58 min The scientific Method Antivaccin, to the origin of the doubt to The collective article, “social Representations of vaccination in patients and general practitioners” showed then that the doctors themselves, if they are a more favourable image of the vaccination than the average of the patients interviewed, there were many to criticize the vaccination schedule, “too much changing and too heavy”. In this field survey in France, a general practitioner on four contested all the same, the usefulness of routine immunization of infants against hepatitis B. in Addition to the Channel, the Anti Vaccine Society is active since the beginning of the Nineteenth century. Two hundred years later, the countries that have made the three obligatory vaccines remain a minority in Europe, even if France is not the isolated case that some have described, as shown in the about lever rumors of Antoine Krempf on France info January 2016 : On 29 european countries (including Norway and Iceland) studied at in a european comparison published on the subject in 2012, 15 had a system of vaccination based on the recommendations, compared to 14 with at least one obligation. If we look a little more in detail, the France requires the vaccination for diphtheria, tetanus and polio as ten other european States, including Italy, Greece and most of the countries of the East. ""I invite you to my feast of chicken pox"" Did you know that in the United States or the United Kingdom, families organize “pox party” or “virus party” ? Understand : moments of jubilation where unvaccinated children are voluntarily mixed with children with flu, chicken pox or measles. The objective is to strengthen the immune defenses of children... and, incidentally, do away with the question of the vaccination requirement because the child has contracted the disease. In their minds, it is the idea that it will always be best for a child to “make a disease”, rather than be subjected to a vaccination deemed “against the order of nature”. In France, the associative movement is structured in a very long time around the rejection of vaccination in France. The “National League for Freedom of Vaccinations"" is restructured in 1954 as an association of the type law 1901, but in the national Library of France, one finds trace of its first symposia, under the leadership of dr Boens., in Cologne or Charleroi, in the 1880s. On its website, the “LNLV” claims to have managed to “roll back the obligation to undertake smallpox vaccination in France (bill Liouville in 1889) until 1902 when the application was passed under the leadership of Jules Ferry, in an act consisting mainly of rules of public hygiene (sanitation, septic tanks, recovery of dead animals).” It is, therefore, a century after the appearance of the first vaccinations that emerges from a current anti-vaccination. The English physician Edward Jenner will mark the history in 1796 with the principle of the inoculation of the vaccine, in other words, the small-pox of cows, to protect the men of the pox. It is for this reason that the term “vaccination” comes from “cow” in latin. After this first phase of the empirical findings, it was Louis Pasteur, a century later, who will go further, in immunizing a child against rabies in 1885. • Credits to : J-M Carry - AFP REECOUTEZ ""Louis Pasteur, the extraordinary explorer of life"", by Erik Orsenna the 21/09/2015 on France Culture Center ventilated vs ""freedom"" therapeutic vaccine against rabies is not mandatory. Compulsory vaccination is a constraint to the very concrete : to register her child in the manger, at school or at the recreation center requires a photocopy of the health certificate, stating that the vaccines required have been performed. But parents invoke the “freedom of therapy” claiming in particular of the Kouchner law of 2002 on the law of diseases, which recognizes the right to refuse care. This was the line used by parents Larere in 2015. After they refused to vaccinate their daughter against diphtheria, tetanus and polio (TD polio), they were prosecuted for breach of their ""legal obligations that jeopardizes the health, morals or education of their child. This is the IMP of their area who had alerted the public prosecutor. Both parents face two years in prison and 30,000 euros fine, according to the penal code. Their legal fees had been taken care of by an association which assists the families, but goes beyond that : the national Union of civic associations of health also has filed a QPC, a priority question of constitutionality, the obligatory nature of the vaccination. Response of the Constitutional Council : the vaccination of children must remain compulsory. The Sages in the text argue that, ""in imposing these obligations of vaccination, the legislature has heard the fight against the three diseases that are very serious and contagious or not open to be eradicated"". The vaccine more dangerous than the disease for 1 French on 5 march 2015, the programme “Science publique” questioned on France Culture : “Should we do away with the obligation to be vaccinated ?” Shortly before, a survey on the influenza vaccine, optional, and little appreciated by the French, had shown that the resistance against the vaccination does not go into long dissertations. For proof, in this Ifop survey - PHR, one French person in five considered that it was more dangerous to get the vaccine than get the flu. In this context of controversy, the interviews conducted by researchers in the field show that it is, for example, on the question of the collective that patients and physicians differ. The medical profession, unlike the families interviewed, advancing further the idea of a prevention collective , in the mode of : ""me into vaccinating, I protect all of the other"". In the journal, Mind, in 2016, the philosopher Frédéric Orobon interpreted and the phenomenon of rejection, which goes crescendo : conflicting information so that people, themselves, are becoming more educated and more informed a lesser sensitivity to the idea of a “solidarity general and anonymous in the face of the dangers of infection” a reflex refractory vis-a-vis medical expertise, in doubt. archive Radio France - Ina",2894,"france"

Instructions of the CDC According to the CDC, in the period of 2004-2014, the number of declared cases of measles with known age was 771 (92,0%). The disease presented a higher incidence in the age group 0-4 years, with an average annual declared impact 5,43 cases per 100,000 people (number of cases: 319, of which 69 were under one year), followed by the age groups 5-14 years and 15-24 years, with an average annual declared incidence of 1.43 and 0,84 cases per 100,000 people, respectively. According to the CDC, the vaccine is recommended to be done subcutaneously in two doses, at the age of 12-15 months and 4-6 years of age, and in every case it is better to be given in the form of <U+03C4><U+03C1><U+03B9><U+03B4><U+03CD><U+03BD><U+03B1>µ<U+03BF><U+03C5> (measles-mumps-rubella) or <U+03C4><U+03B5><U+03C4><U+03C1><U+03B1><U+03B4><U+03CD><U+03BD><U+03B1>µ<U+03BF><U+03C5> vaccine (measles-mumps-rubella-varicella). In our country marketed vaccines contain strains Edmonston (M-M-R VAX PRO) and Schwartz (PRIORIX and PRIORIX-TETRA). In areas where there are outbreaks, the vaccination of the child population should be made at the age of 12 months. Also, in the event of an outbreak of measles, the vaccination can be done at a younger age, but then need re-vaccination with the MMR at age 15 months. The administration of the vaccine with live attenuated virus vaccines is contraindicated in the following cases: -In patients with immunosuppression.

"5404","in pictures: The government of Samoa has declared the obligation of vaccination against the measles for the entire population (Government of Samoa) In Samoa, an epidemic of measles has resulted in a few days the death of 48 children under the age of four. On November 15, the government has declared the health emergency and the requirement of vaccination for all of the 200 thousand inhabitants. According to the latest data, in the small island State of the Pacific Ocean, have been reported more than 3,700 cases of measles, almost 200 only in the last 24 hours. From the 20th of November, according to the official data, more than 58mila samoans were vaccinated in a race against time to try to stop the spread of the infection. In the hospitals, hundreds of patients suffering from measles, including 20 children and three pregnant women admitted to hospital in a critical condition. The current spread of measles in Samoa is the result of a significant decrease in vaccinations of the past few years. Measles is an infection highly contagious disease caused by a virus that transmits easily by air via a cough or a sneeze. The contagiousness begins 2-3 days before the rash and lasts for approximately five days from its beginning. According to the world health Organization (Who), only 31% of children under five were vaccinated in 2018. In front of the health emergency, all schools were closed and children, adolescents, and pregnant women the first individuals to be vaccinated against the measles. Also, the public offices will be closed two days this week in order to allow all employees to assist in the vaccination campaign set in throughout the Country. Unfortunately, the victims of the infection are already 53, of which 48 little under four years. “We continue to have a very serious problem,” said Leausa Take Naseri, director general of the ministry of health of Samoa. All the children died, in fact, had not been vaccinated. in the picture: According to Who, in 2018, only 31% of samoan children under 5 years old was vaccinated (Government of Samoa) But to worry the authorities are also those who refuse to get vaccinated or seek to discourage others from doing so. On social networks, in fact, are circulating advice on how to cure the measles in the house, without the need to immunize itself against the virus. “The vaccine is not killing your children – feel the dr. Nikki Turner, specializing in the prevention of infectious diseases is the measles, the person responsible for their death”. “Those who contract the disease "" continues Turner – must immediately receive medical care from a health care professional. To delay treatment or expose the patient, especially if child care improvised not prevent the death”. The attorney-general of Samoa, Lemalu Hermann Retzlaff, has warned that those who discourage vaccinations. And the government of the islands of the Pacific has been forced to reaffirm, through its page Facebook, the respect of the obligation to be vaccinated. In the midst of the crisis health, in addition, some parents have turned to alternative therapies in an attempt to save their children from the disease.

The prime minister, Tuilaepa Sailele Malielegaoi, has addressed to the people of the samoan saying: “The vaccination is the only cure...no traditional healer or preparations of alkaline water (kangen) can cure the measles”. “We have to encourage and convince – added the premier – those who do not believe that the vaccinations are the only answer to the epidemic”. Outbreaks of measles have also been recorded in Tonga and Fiji, even if for the moment you do not count the victims. To try to combat the outbreak, Unicef has handed over to the government of Samoa to more than 110 thousand doses of the antidote to the measles and has sent its staff to strengthen the immunization campaign. Even the nearby New Zealand and the United Kingdom have sent medicines, nurses and medical equipment to help the population of the samoan hit by the epidemic.",2833,"italy"
"5405","The epidemic of measles on the course in New York is closely tied to the mistrust of some groups of people vis-a-vis vaccines, a problem that the health authorities of western had to face in recent times in various countries. But in the case of New York city, the movement “no-vax” with which you are struggling the government of the city is special: it coincides in fact with a minority of the jewish community, name commonly given that resides historically in Brooklyn, and that refuses vaccines, for reasons in part religious, in part related to the traditional arguments antivacciniste. After a century in the past to find ways of preventing diseases that, like measles or polio, had killed millions of people in the Twentieth century, in recent years, medicine has had to contend with a small but significant percentage of people who refuse to vaccinate themselves and their children. Also a small minority of unvaccinated persons, in fact, can compromise the so-called “immunity of the flock”, the principle that if the vaccinated exceed a certain threshold in the community to be protected from the disease. In New York, these conditions do not seem to be the most: in October, when they were recorded the first cases of measles, there have been over 400 cases of infection confirmed. Only in the last week new cases were 60, that has brought mayor Bill de Blasio to declare a state of medical emergency and in some areas of Brooklyn where it believes there to be the epicenter of the epidemic. De Blasio ordered that they be vaccinated all the children, threatening fines to those who do not fit. In some New York city neighborhoods children are not vaccinated cannot go to school, while Rockland County, an area north of Manhattan, where there have been nine cases in the last few days, has banned unvaccinated children from public places. The court then voted against the ordinance, which at the moment is then suspended. The thing that is common to the areas of Brooklyn where they were registered most of the cases, and Rockland County, is the strong presence of orthodox jews, i.e. jews that – with sensitivity and guidance in certain cases, heterogeneous – they follow a strict interpretation of the religion and reject most of the developments modern. Even among the families of ultra-orthodox jews, the vaccines are now accepted and adopted: but within the community, there is a active movement antivaccinista, in part for religious reasons but not only. The movement has assumed a considerable size, thanks to the propaganda of PEACH, which stands for “Parents for Education and Support of Children's Health”, a group about which not much is known and which is linked to the movements antivaccinisti the united states, which has carried out a campaign of misinformation about vaccines directed specifically to the name commonly given, pulling in some of the rabbis, and with various publications. In part, this propaganda is based on the notes the distrust of many as compared to a vaccine, whose safety and effectiveness is demonstrated by the scientific community: PEACH, for example, argues there is a link between vaccines and autism, already proved scientifically countless times. There are many orthodox jews who live in conditions that are relatively isolated from the rest of the world, and not have to do with the technology and doing much to rely on the opinions of the rabbis. Many of them, even the most authoritative, have said and are repeating to the faithful to be vaccinated: David Niederman, rabbi and president of the United Jewish Organizations of Williamsburg, told Vox that it is indeed the same as the jewish religion, to prescribe, when he says to protect the weak of the community. But there is also those who, like the rabbi of a Brooklyn Rabbi William Handler, he made an active campaign against vaccines. It is not the first time that the most conservative and retrograde of the name commonly given in new york has problems with the authorities: recently there had been switched on respect for the practices of circumcision is not hygienic, or the mode of teaching in some of the yeshivah, private schools jewish. There are those, including religious leaders and activists in the anti-vax claims that vaccines are not kosher, i.e. not follow the dietary rules that are contained in the sacred scriptures of the jewish: ""Contain the DNA of monkey, mice, and pigs, and serum fetal bovine, all forbidden by the dietary rules kosher,"" said a member of the PEACH to the New York Times. It is true that vaccines are often produced using a wide variety of animal cell types, but in the form in which they are given to the public are thoroughly cleansed: and in fact, most of the orthodox jews and ultra-orthodox adopts them. Between Brooklyn and Rockland County, of the rest, it is estimated that the ultra-orthodox jews are about 300 thousand. Because of their life style, however, a part of these people has not been reached by the big awareness campaigns on the importance of vaccines, that are moved, especially on television and online. It had a certain effect brought forward by the antivaccinisti, who have organized several meetings directly on the spot. PEACH has circulated a publication found to be especially effective in the “Vaccine Safety Handbook”: a guide for parents full of buffaloes, and that also shows the instructions of some of the rabbis opposed to vaccines, that has had a considerable circulation in New York city. Measles, in addition to a rash, cause coughs, colds and high fever, which usually reaches peak around 40 °C, and can be the cause of many complications, from pneumonia to encephalitis (a dangerous infection that affects the brain and the rest of the central nervous system contained in the cranium) through otitis media entity. It is extremely contagious, but the United States has been eliminated as an endemic disease in 2000, but can obviously still occur if brought from the outside-and carry the virus in this latest outbreak is believed to just have been some children not vaccinated of jewish families ultraortodosse. The health authorities in the u.s. believe that they have brought to the United States back from Sukot, a jewish holiday to which many of the faithful make a pilgrimage to Israel, where was in progress an epidemic of measles. In 2017 it is estimated that the disease has killed 110 thousand people in the world. Last Friday, a group of rabbis in Brooklyn met to discuss a proposal that would prohibit to all the faithful ultra-orthodox have not been vaccinated to attend the synagogue and the yeshivah. After the meeting, the activists of the anti-vax have organized an operation of the automatic calls to the local faithful, to invite them to ask their rabbi not to support the measure.",2820,"italy"

And even the Greens have wrested ""Yes"": The vaccination against measles arrived in German politics, the Federal Ministry of health is working under high pressure in a corresponding law. Now, however, by a critical voice breaks the Unity of The German ethics Council has spoken out in a statement against a General vaccination. In the more than a hundred pages long document, the panel discussed possible side effects of the measles vaccine, the right to decide of the individual, his body - but also driven by the infection to others, which can not be vaccinated. The result: ""The measles is a lens are underestimated - often-dangerous infectious disease with a generally accessible and well-tolerated vaccine to avoid."" Consequently, it is important to increase the vaccination rates in Germany. A General mandatory vaccination, but the ethicists see as wrong means. Instead, they rely on a package of measures to tackle the Problem of the Impfverweigerer in the handle, but to reach also the people who are simply poorly informed. Doctors for giving false information to sanction one from the point of view of the ethics Council, to remind not only adults better about their Vaccinations, educate, or parent mandatory to Vaccinate. The objective is also the dissemination of fail to contain the information: ""To Physicians, disseminate to the public (in particular, social media) misinformation about the measles vaccine, are professional to provide legal sanctions"", - stated in the opinion. The German ethics Council, The German ethics Council works within the legal order. The 26 members are to exercise their office independently - must be active members of the government. One of your tasks is to inform the Public about important ethical issues, and to promote social discussion. The topics of the ethics Council specifies in the rule itself, but it can also be mandated by the Federal government or the Bundestag. The Minister of health, Jens Spahn (CDU) had submitted the beginning of may, the design for a so-called measles protection act, which by the end of this year, the Bundestag decided. It provides, among other things, that all children must present upon entry into the school or Kindergarten with the necessary measles vaccinations. Parents of this duty not to threaten fines in the amount of up to 2500 euros. The German ethics Council rejects such financial sanctions, in his opinion. It is the proportionality of ends and means must be considered, it says. ""So, about the control of a sanction reinforced General mandatory vaccination for children in child care institutions would be expected to cause a major bureaucratic effort."" Moreover, to suffer the consequences of fines to children of financially disadvantaged parents much more than children of wealthy parents. More on the topic of the experiences of twelve EU countries, Where the vaccination is and how it works is Questionable how a mandatory vaccination at all he would grab. Studies indicate that the vaccination Coverage levels among children in European countries with and without vaccination hardly. Therefore, first of all the existing milder means should be exploited to the full, writes the ethics Council. ""Legal constraints should, in principle, only as the Ultima Ratio is used, namely where all of the other low-schwelligeren measures are reaching their limits."" With the exception of vaccination for certain occupational groups with the exception of the body makes, however, In the case of certain occupational groups, during their work in contact with particularly sensitive persons, be the prohibition of a compulsory vaccination and the threat of an imminent Activity is acceptable. The Council of ethics applies, among others, on teachers, in particular, the scheme should apply to staff from medicine, nursing, or midwifery. The Affected had taken with her choice of profession voluntarily increased responsibility, stated in the opinion. The scheme is designed to protect people, at least to a certain degree, can not be vaccinated. The Survival may depend on whether the people in your environment have to vaccinate. Among the Affected, among other things, people with a limited immune system, and infants without an adequate nest protection. Also in Germany, the draft law provides special rules for people in certain occupational groups. People working in community facilities or contact with children, should have to demonstrate in future vaccination, or by experienced measles infection.

Another challenge, he said, was that others had been seeking help from traditional healers, who had been successfully treating tropical diseases in Samoa for some 4,000 years.  “Some of our people pay a visit to traditional healers thinking that measles is a typical tropical disease, which it is not,” the prime minister said.

Overall, an upsurge of cases of the highly contagious disease currently affects several european countries, and France is no exception.

In France, several cases of scarlet fever have been reported in June 2018 at an institution of Antibes (Alpes-Maritimes), according to Nice-Matin. Recently, it is in classes at Agen (Lot-et-Garonne) that this condition has been detected, according to the South West, but also in a creche in Sevres, near paris, according to our information. However, it is difficult to get an accurate idea of the number of cases because it is not a notifiable disease. It is manifested by a high fever, a sore throat and a rash that starts under the armpits, in the folds of the elbow and the groin. The tongue will be white before fading to red at the end of a few days. Scarlet fever is treated with antibiotics.

But there is nothing certain yet. Although it is a hypothesis, and in spite of health have specified that the various cases would not be all connected among them, inevitably, has rekindled the controversy over the vaccines, thanks to a media campaign that without a care, he exposed this little girl as the daughter of parents alleged anti-vax, as the underlying cause of the outbreak. The Special talked with the philosopher Diego Fusaro. The media have painted a presumed girl is the daughter of no-vax as a sort of untrice, spreading what at the time would seem to be only a suspicion. But a minor should not be protected? “This is a situation which I would describe as surreal, and that brings us back to a kind of era by the witch-hunt. In this case, however, would seem to be the science, or rather what I call the alleged science based on a kind of new religion of scientism, to persecute the modern heretics. Today we find ourselves, paradoxically, in the face of so many new Giordano Bruno, punished, not in the name of theology, but of a science that appears more and more teologizzata and tied to dogma”. But because the same media you look good from the connect, for example, the increase in cases of scabies to the presence of migrants, in spite of this it can be assumed from the first visits, made at the time of the landings? “We are in the presence of an outrage to alternating current. In one case, that of the measles, we proceed to the scaremongering even if it is unwarranted or unfounded, while in the other case you try to mute everything. Of course, even in this story there is moving following the flow of the politically correct and the guidelines dictated by the lords of mundialism. Which, of course, have an interest that must be disclosed of the narratives that are different, or even opposite, depending on the situations to suit them”. You continue to demonize the so-called anti-vax, including in this category also those who, while not opposed to vaccines, believe that to impose twelve is excessive and that it would be preferable to a different approach to the question. How ever much the media focus on? “In the category of no vax, you end up to include all and sundry. Not only those who have been prejudicially opposed to any form of vaccination, but also those who legitimately advance doubts and concerns about the actual need to impose mandatory vaccinations, or they want to defend the right to free choice of the parents. Many of whom probably are also favorable to vaccinate their children, but feel the obligation as an imposition of unacceptable lowered from above, and a clear violation of their right to decide freely what is best for the children. I find this media focus, as already said, a form of persecution, carried out not in the name of religion, but of science, a scientific theology is invasive and does not admit of doubt. But this is the opposite of the same science which normally proceeds even with doubts, conjectures and refutations. Here, however, we face a dogmatism which reveals how science itself risks falling into a kind of ideology, theology”. Share!",2729,"italy"

Measles measles diseases are among the virus. The pathogen is extremely sensitive to heat, light, and disinfectants. Is transferred to it by droplets – so when in contact with Infected. It is usually sufficient, in a room with a man to stop carrying the highly contagious Virus. Especially in developing countries, measles continues to be a large Problem. In Germany, the number of outbreaks has decreased significantly. Since the seventies there is a cheap and efficient vaccine against the pathogen. But it gets repeated to regional epidemics. Not eradicated the measles in spite of the efforts of the health authorities still. Course of the disease, the First signs of cold symptoms such as runny nose, cough, and fever. In a second Phase of the disease is a rash with reddish-brown spots forming. Contagious the measles are already about five days before the rash is visible. The incubation period after infection is eight to ten days. For the year 2016, the world health organization estimates that 89.780 people in the globe died as a result of the infection. Most of the dead are children under five years of age. So 2016 was the first year in which the number of measles deaths was below the 100,000 mark. The cause of death may be due to the Virus caused inflammation of the brain. In addition, the pathogen weakens the immune system, making infections with other viruses or bacteria severe can run. Thanks to vaccination, the number of deaths declined cases since 2000, more than 84 percent. Previously, up to 548.000 people died on average every year from the consequences of a measles infection. Vaccination and side effects Since 1984, the world health organization, the goal of the measles, due to the consistent vaccination to eradicate. The vaccine is a live virus vaccine, prepared from attenuated measles virus. It is combined with attenuated Mumps and rubella pathogens and is therefore referred to as the MMR vaccine. The Standing Committee on vaccination (Stiko) at the Robert Koch-Institute recommends a first vaccination for children between the ages of eleven and 14 months. Until the end of the second year of life (recommended at the age of 15 to 23 months) is also supposed to be the second MMR vaccination is carried out. Especially due to a very low vaccination Coverage at the time of second vaccination of young children, the immunity in this country is lower than that of the world health organization called for. A rate of 95 percent for the measles in a country as eliminated. The Stiko recommends, therefore, all people who were born after 1970, immunization with the MMR vaccine, if they are not vaccinated or don't know. Side effects of vaccination are rare. This redness at the injection site shortly after vaccination and in the short term, and slight fever may occur. In part, patients suffer from headaches, fatigue or gastrointestinal discomfort. Even more rare allergic reactions, inflammation, longer-lasting joint or a possible inflammation of the Brain. Also, the Greens are faced with a mandatory vaccination negative. In the view of health expert, Kordula Schulz-ash must be placed on consultation rather than on compulsion and sanctions. A compulsory vaccination was discussed in Germany already repeatedly, especially after regional severe measles outbreaks. While pediatricians have been demanding for a longer a compulsory vaccination, the Federal government, yet skeptical. Spahn himself had rejected a few years ago, at the time, as CDU health expert, a mandatory vaccination in General. According to a report from the WHO, the number of measles cases in the year 2017 is increased by 30 percent compared to the previous year. Also, in some countries, which had already been on the verge of extinction of the disease, there are more cases.

But if the typical rash of the disease is already gone and the fever has long since abated, according to the impact of the infection still: measles weaken the immune system in the long term, and make Affected and therefore more susceptible to other infectious diseases. An international team of researchers led by Boston scientists, Michael Mina, has investigated this effect of the measles virus in more detail. The experts talk in the journal ""Science"" of ""immunological amnesia"". The group was able to collect in the Netherlands, 77 blood samples from unvaccinated children before and after they were suffering from the measles. In these samples, they searched for specific antibodies against viruses and bacteria. This is an important building block in the fight against infectious diseases. The measles disease reduced the diversity of the antibody dramatically, on average, they had fallen about seven weeks after infection by 33 to 40 percent. The exact fit of the antibodies help to recognize a specific pathogen quickly and to fight effectively. Without it, the resistance force drops and the corresponding disease. The producers of these antibodies are Essentially in the bone marrow. It is composed of specialized cells that are attacked by the measles virus and therefore the death are. Mug shots - full of holes ""you can imagine her immunity against pathogens, such as a book, in the photos of Criminals bonding,"" says Mina. ""Now imagine, someone has punched a lot of holes. Now, it would be much harder to recognize the Criminal."" Although, antibody diversity builds up with time, because the body is developed upon repeated contact with the respective pathogens in the new antibody, however, may be the diseases in this time of fierce. ""We have very strong evidence that the measles virus actually destroys the immune system,"" said the study involved researchers Stephen Elledge. For comparison, the researchers analyzed samples for more blood, including children affected by the measles. They lost in the course of a year, only about ten percent of the proved at the first examination, a tailored anti-body. A certain loss of certain antibodies is normal. The dramatic fall in the numbers due to the measles, however, goes much further. An Experiment on rhesus monkeys, also confirmed what was observed by the researchers at the children, the animals lost by the measles, a large part of their protective anti-body diversity is a ends. MEASLES fact check the myths of the opponents in ""Science Immunology"" published a study shows, moreover, that the diversity of the so-called B-memory drops cells after a measles infection. This also contributes to harmful amnesia of the immune system after the disease. The measles vaccination has. these harmful effects by Using other Tests, the group explained to Michael Mina, whether the vaccination against measles, Mumps and rubella as the disease itself has a negative effect on the immune system They discovered no signs of it. ""These new findings explain the mechanism of immune deficiency and the observed increased susceptibility to Infection after a measles infection,"" says the children-infections Loge Johannes Trück from the University children's hospital Zurich in Switzerland. They reminded the importance of a systematic measles vaccination. In Europe, measles cases have doubled in the last world even tripled. One of the reasons the world health organization, WHO, according to Here. Actually, the disease should be eradicated by consistent Vaccination by 2020 ",2690,"germany"

"1410","Spreading for us. For the first seven weeks of this year is reported to have 120 cases, it is more than half of all the cases for all of last year. ""When you multiply it out, in a year it may be a thousand and I'm worried that really it start taking when someone dies,"" says the head of the Institute of epidemiology of Medical faculty in Pilsen Petr Pazdiora. This year they have so far 13 cases. Most is in Prague, and it 65. But measles do not affect just the general population. Threaten even the medical professionals who about sick care. Last year them became infected eleven, this year already four. One case occurred in the hospital at Vinohrady, the other two in the motol hospital. The ministry of health therefore invite all directors of the hospitals, which under the resort fall, to let their health professionals to vaccinate against the measles. ""The optimum would be to vaccinate the staff, and doctors and nurses, urgent income, income outpatient clinics and other departments, like the ICU,"" he said for MF dnes, the deputy minister of health Roman Prymula. The intention of the extraordinary appeal emerged from Tuesday's meeting of the ministry, which letter of hospitals for distribution to Friday. ""Directly controlled by the device should do it practically compulsory, the regional that we will recommend,"" added the deputy. Penalties for disobeying, however, will not. The ministry currently has on the table the three strategies, as the protection of health workers to ensure. The first is Prymulou the preferred proposal, which would affect only people on the urgent income, receiving ambulances and other selected persons. The second variant counts with the vaccination of the entire medical staff. Just with this proposal would be agreed and pilsner epidemiologist Peter Pazdiora. According to him, would mandatory vaccination for healthcare workers should set even the law. ""It's not a question only of hospitals, but also outpatient doctors. So the law should establish the medical profession, which should be compulsorily vaccinated, and not only do such one-off campaign,“ says the doctor. In the game there is yet a third possibility – vaccination would cover only those for which testing and has proven insufficient antibody levels. About which option is eventually chosen, will decide by Friday. Probably but it's just about the vaccination on selected wards, as he prefers Prymula. ""It will be effort, to the directors of the proočkovali as many people as possible, to not fall into the problems in terms of the provision of care that is not be in isolation,"" added the deputy minister saying that the costs will probably pay for itself the hospital. One vaccine while comes out to about eight hundred crowns. The reasons why are the measles coming back, it is several. Part of cases comes from overseas, last year of the total 45 ""... taken"" measles, 32 were from Ukraine. It also reduces the vaccination coverage in young children and at the same time is a part of the population protected insufficiently, because the vaccine in time will all blow over. ""Today, we know that in certain age categories (years 1967 to 1975) may not up to 20 percent of the people to be protected,"" says the prague hygienist Zdeněk Jágrová. Compulsorily we started to vaccinate in September 1969, and that just one dose. When about thirteen years later, it introduced the requirement of two doses. To stop the spread of measles is important at least 95% vaccination coverage of just two doses. The vaccine of the regulation On the booster it would appear a few thousand people. It should be noted, that the intent applies to all devices, which the ministry controls – in addition to the hospitals, it's about the constitution as IKE or Institute of care of mother and child in Podolí or the Institute of hematology and blood transfusion. For health professionals, however, will not be this vaccination mandatory. It will be possible to refuse him, without the risk of penalty. This is not to say that vaccination of healthcare professionals cannot, in the extraordinary case of order. The last time this happened this year, when in the University hospital Královské Vinohrady sick measles one of the paramedics. By mid-march, now must indoctrinate his colleagues. ""It was in contact with him over a hundred employees. Measles is a serious infectious disease that spreads by air, the sick person is their surroundings infectious for four days before the first symptoms of the disease,“ illustrated by Zdeněk Jágrová, why the prague hygiene on legal options with the consent of the ministry acceded. The other two cases of infected healthcare workers measles are registered according to Roman Prymuly even in Motol, specifically, about the urgent income and pulmonary clinic. In the hospital, several measures have proceeded. ""With all of the newly emerging medical professionals we started the examination of the antibodies. The same thing we do during regular preventive examinations of all other employees. For persons who had not the measles and have low antibodies, we vaccination, recommending,“ described the spokesman of the hospital, Hana Frydrychová. The intention of the ministry leadership Motol approves, the recommendation is ready to support and brno teaching hospital. Vaccination within three days of Measles are a highly infectious disease, symptoms are manifested about ten days after infection, initially look like the common cold with a runny nose, a cough and a raised temperature. The disease accompanied by reddened eyes, gradually increasing fever, reach up to 40 degrees, there is a red rash. Measles in us compulsorily inoculated with two doses, the reported efficiency of 97 percent. Vaccinate is, however, possible and within 72 hours after contact with the sick, the vaccine can increase the level of antibodies.

Meanwhile, there is also a vaccine against cervical cancer. ""If we can manage to vaccinate all young women and girls, then we could eradicate this cancer.""

While a severe measles epidemic affects the ski resort of Val-Thorens since the end of January, the virus has now crossed the Atlantic aboard an Air France flight. According to the daily costa rican La Nación, a family of French tourists has brought the disease in his luggage. The parents of this family, between the ages of 30 and 35 years, as well as their 5 year old child, have imported, the risk of measles. Neither the child nor the mother have not been vaccinated, while the father was not up to date with reminders. Worse, the family would have recognized that the comrades of the child have been affected by measles before departure.

The disease had disappeared since 2014. Isolated in quarantine in a hospital for a week, this family could be at the origin of a pandemic. The authorities are therefore engaged in a race against time to find the people who were able to be in contact with the French. 26 persons, located in a hotel in the capital, have already been able to be vaccinated. Problem, the family spent twelve hours in a plane alongside 300 other passengers. However, measles is a virus that can be transmitted without direct contact. The fear of Costa Rica is also linked to the regional situation. Several countries, including Venezuela, have faced in recent months a measles outbreak. The health authorities have begun, in the month of December 2018, an intensive campaign of vaccination, which aims to protect 770 000 children between 15 months and 10 years. Highly contagious, the disease can be fatal, especially in young children, but not only. In 2018, at least three people, aged 17 to 32 years, were killed in France because of the measles.

"68812","The president of the Canarian Society of Pediatrics, in the province of tenerife, Luis Ortigosa, has confirmed in The Morning in the Canary islands that makes it something more than a month there was a ""small"" outbreak of measles in a school in the south of Tenerife. ""The disease is already totally controlled. Only have been affected three children, of foreign origin, who were not vaccinated. And, precisely, was a child of Italy, where the rate of vaccination is very low, which gave it to the other two,"" he pointed out. In this line, has stressed that the rest of the students at the school has not suffered from any condition. ""No child more ill because they were all properly vaccinated,"" he asserted. Ortigosa has also wanted to make it clear that the reality in Spain is very different to that of other countries, with a strong resistance to the immunization of school children. ""There is no forcing families to vaccinate because they respect the indications of physicians. In Italy and France it is mandatory, as they have come down drastically the levels and there are major outbreaks of measles. And that is also happening in the united States. Do not forget that, two weeks ago, the mayor of New York city declared a health alert, imposing sanctions on families who do not vaccinate their children,"" he concluded. ELIMINATION OF MEASLES IN SPAIN The Plan of Elimination of Measles was launched in the year 2001 with three strategic lines: to maintain vaccination coverage above 95% with two doses, and performing an epidemiological surveillance intensive case-based and systematically evaluate the quality of such a system. In the year 2008 she joined the surveillance of rubella and congenital rubella syndrome, as an extension of the plan of elimination of measles. Before the introduction of vaccination, the annual incidence of the disease was high (500-700 cases/100,000 inhabitants). Even though the routine vaccination was introduced in 1981, were not achieved high vaccination coverage until 1986. Since 1998, the incidence of this pathology is approaching the target of elimination, with figures ranging from 1 case per 100,000 population and 1 case per 1,000,000 inhabitants. INCUBATION AND COMMUNICABILITY The disease is transmitted by droplet spread, from or suspended in the air or by direct contact with nasal secretions or throat of infected persons. Remember that measles is one of the most contagious diseases. The incubation period is 10 days from exposure until the onset of fever or other nonspecific symptoms and about 14 days until the onset of the rash (with an amplitude of 7 to 18 days and rarely up to 21 days). All the people who have not passed the measles, or who are not appropriately immunized are susceptible to the problem. Infants are generally protected, up to 6-9 months of age by maternal antibodies. Women vaccinated in childhood presented antibody titers lower than women who have had the disease, so that their children are susceptible to measles at younger ages and may need vaccination earlier than recommended usually. It is believed that the immunity after natural infection lasts a lifetime",2564,"spain"

The GOVERNMENT warns the Dutch, parents with very young children, who go to Italy and you want to go. When in close contact with the local population, such as staying in people's homes, for children between the ages of six and a half months early vaccination should be considered. The mazelenuitbraak is a direct consequence of the fact that the antivaccinatiebeweging in Italy is becoming more and more popular. Parents are worried about the side effects of the vaccines, or they underestimate just how dangerous the disease is. The new Italian government is also skeptical of vaccines. In the pre-election campaign it was promised that the vaccinatieverplichting for the child to turn around.

Antonella Salimbene had lost four years ago, her 11-year-old daughter of the Camp to the disease. On the day, she feels guilty that she is, in the opinion of the doctor chosen this vaccination is about saving. Now do they have a campaign on social media to get other parents to persuade their children to be vaccinated. “I would like to prevent other parents have to go through what I went through. My Camp took a few hours to kill. I would take the time to want to run.” Professor of virology, Roberto Burioni (University of Milan), hoping that the antivaccinatiebeweging realize that the diseases are coming back because of the number of vaccinations is declining. “In Italy, we are once again at risk from measles. A disease that we had eradicated, and for which we have a perfectly working vaccine, but the parents are listening to go to onzinverhalen on the internet.” Groepsimmuniteit, According to the virologist is in order there is only groepsimmuniteit, as a large part of the population has been vaccinated. “People need to not only think themselves, or have their own children, but also infants who are too young to be vaccinated, too.” For groepsimmuniteit the percentage of vaccinated people, according to the world health organisation, 95% of the. In Italy, it was in the previous year, to approximately 85%. In the Netherlands, the coverage rate back to 91% of the Dutch population was made last year, get vaccinated.

When in close contact with the local population, such as staying in people's homes, for children between the ages of six and fourteen months of age, early vaccination may be considered. Professor, Burioni, calls it “justified, but it is also a shame that” such an opinion is necessary. He has nothing good to say about the idea of vaccination in the current Italian government. “The number of wheels that a plane is safe to be considered to be in the country will not be decided by a vote in the european parliament.

Merlene Fredericks-James, head of the medical service of the country, has confirmed to the Bbc of a case ""highly infective"" of measles on board. To all the passengers of the vessel was then banned from landing on the island, in view of the likely exposure to the virus to other passengers and the citizens of the island"". READ ALSO Measles, alert Who: the cases have tripled in the world in 2019 ""in The light of the current outbreaks of measles in the United States and of the highly contagious nature of the disease, we considered it prudent to quarantine the ship,"" added Frederick-James. But even if no person has been authorised to descend from the boat, the officials of the maritime authority, however, have claimed not to have the power to prevent the Freewinds to leave the harbour to the island of Dominica as expected. The quarantine comes via the growing movement of anti-vaccination that has resulted in a wave of cases around the world, and only in the United States has reached the highest peak of the last 25 years with more than 700 people affected. The location of Scientology on vaccines is not clear, and the church has never really taken a position on this clear: it is true that in the various interviews it is stated that there are neither precepts nor restrictions on vaccination inside Scientology, and that the members are independent people who make their decisions without the influence of the Church. And also on the web site, is written the scientologists when they are physically sick, make use of the medicine. The thought, however, is not always so linear. Never been so many outbreaks of measles in the Usa since 1994 Are 704 cases of measles diagnosed in the United States from the beginning of the year, over half of which are in New York: is the epidemic is the most severe recorded in the Country since 1994, when the cases were 963. So far, 66 people who were hospitalized, among them 24 have contracted the pneumonia. The data have been released by the Cdc, the federal agency for the control and prevention of diseases. In 2014, there was another emergency, but throughout the year the cases were arrived at 667. Among the 704 cases reported, 71% (503) was not vaccinated and 336 are children under 5 years of age. Perhaps it is still early to speak of an epidemic in the true sense, it is certain that the increase is indeed worrisome. And, as pointed out by the Cdc, the responsibility of this distribution lie in the missed immunizations that, for 85 percent of the cases, they happen for reasons, ""philosophical, religious or personal"".",2529,"italy"
"9317","More than half a million British children are unvaccinated against measles, new figures show, as the head of NHS England challenged social media giants to block “grossly irresponsible” anti-vax propaganda.

The new data, which tallies children left unvaccinated between 2010 and 2017, follows a steep rise in measles cases in England last year.  The hike is thought to be a direct result of the drop in vaccinations that followed the publication of fraudulent research linking the Measles Mumps and Rubella (MMR) jab to autism by the disgraced British doctor Andrew Wakefield in 1998.  Vaccination coverage among children reaching their second birthday in England is now 91 per cent, with just 87 per cent receiving the second dose by their fifth birthday.

"3495","A measles vaccination not only protects against the measles. It also prevents the measles virus destroys the protection against other diseases. For the first time, managed to immunologists, the long-term damage to the body's own prove the immune system by measles disease - and to declare also. As a British and an American team of researchers is now reporting in Science, and Science, Immunology, destroyed the measles virus, both protective biomolecules, as well as the key immune cells of the body's own defence against disease. A consequence of this destruction of the already long in measles patients observed ""immune amnesia"", which is associated with an increased susceptibility to infections and increased mortality. The measles virus, and interferes heavily in a System that normally are continuously learning. In the first years of life, unknown pathogens have even though it is still easy to overcome the System. However, not only the brain but also immune cells have a Gedächntnis. The enemy is known, the molecules of the body's defense on a Repertoire of disease-specific Defenses, called antibodies, to draw. This memory usually offers life-long protection, it prevents, for example, that children become ill after a very dangerous infection with the mumps pathogen a second Time. The damage to the immune system survived for many years unless the child gets the measles. Infectious disease specialists already know that the measles pathogen can damage the memory of the immune system for other diseases solid. The body forms in the course of the infection, although a reminder of the measles pathogen. At the same time, the Virus deletes other, already existing disease memories in the body and leads to the measles infection to an increased susceptibility to other pathogens. A good half of all infection-related deaths in unvaccinated children associated with these consequences of the measles disease. The cause of the ""amnesia"", so it researchers, is the infestation of white blood cells by the measles virus. What is happening exactly and how long the body will be weakened, has, however, been unclear. Studies suggest that the impairment of the immune system in children may persist after measles disease up to five years. The concerned girls and boys show an increased susceptibility to the ears, lungs, and brain inflammation and can also get as a children's disease verniedli killed infections such as Mumps for a second Time. The group of researchers around Velislava Petrova from the Wellcome Sanger Institute in the UK Hinxton and Michael Mina from the Harvard Medical School in Boston, USA, have resorted to the now published Work on blood samples from a total of almost 80 unvaccinated children from the Netherlands and with samples from vaccinated or non-diseased children compared. The unvaccinated subjects come from a community of Orthodox Protestants who reject immunizations consistently. Within this group, it is therefore outbreaks usually measles. For the research, such communities are in luck, because the consequences of measles disease here is a good track. Mina and colleagues used a newly developed test system for protective antibodies to be able to the existing immune status before and after a measles infection describe. Petrova and her Team focused their work on the fate of the memory cells in the immune system. Therefore, infection will disappear in the Wake of a Measles, an average of 20 percent, in individual, more than 70 percent of the previously formed antibodies cases. In addition, the measles virus destroyed the memory cells of the immune system not only disappear temporarily from the body. Experts advise, once again, strongly to vaccination, Although the stock of these cells, recover after the disease in General. ""Their composition is changed after the infection, however,"" says Johannes Trück from the University children's hospital Zurich. ""Parts of the former due to vaccinations or diseases strengthened immune memory need to be rebuilt, which can take months or years"". In old age, the immune system could compensate for a measles disease even worse. The children's infections Loge points out to the fact that a measles vaccination entails no impairment of the immune system. ""On the contrary, Mina and colleagues show in their work that, in contrast to children with measles infection the immune system of small children is strengthened through a measles vaccination."" Professionals are therefore fully agreed, that a measles vaccination is the only alternative. ""The Work is to underline clearly the need to vaccinate consistently against measles,"" says attainment of the virologist Klaus Überla, University hospital. This applies not only for children but also for adults. The Robert-Koch Institute, had criticized, in may, once again, the insufficient vaccination coverage of children at the time of Enrollment, at the same time, however, the often even larger gaps under the 1970-born German citizens pointed out.",2515,"germany"

Galani is based on the basic function of viruses. ""When a virus infects a cell, uses the cell mechanisms to reproduce and eventually kills the cell. In the same way modified viruses are able to neutralize effectively the cancer cells"". If the thought of using viruses against cancer is not new, but has started from the 50s, mrs Galanis stressed in the same <U+03C3><U+03C5><U+03BD><U+03AD><U+03BD><U+03C4><U+03B5><U+03BE><U+03B7> that the great difference of ""then"" with ""now"" is the ability of science to genetically modify the viruses, so that they can specifically target the tumor cells, affecting slightly -or not at all – healthy tissue.

It is likely that the patients, for a short period of time after administration of the virus, to have some side effects, such as fever or pain in the muscles, however, the tolerability of this treatment is better and side effects fewer in comparison with any kind of chemotherapy."" Also, he stressed that a major is still ""property"" of this method is that based on what has been observed in the clinical trials, the use of a virus ""wakes up"" the immune system, causing it to recognize again the cancer cells as foreign. ""In this way, the organisation itself undertakes to fight his own cancer. How, however, the virus manages to cause such a reaction, is something we are now investigating in the laboratory and in clinical research,"" he noted. Problem the slow speed of production of new medicines As mentioned in the ""Interesting,"" the professor Evanthia Galanis, one of the major problems of oncology internationally is the slow speed, but the high cost of development and production of new drugs. Recently, the mr Galanis chaired a scientific session on clinical trials of new drugs, during which were discussed the ways in which it can be made more effective, in order to speed up the production of new drugs. Granting an interview to the website Targeted Oncology (www.targetedonc.com), it made reason for lack of effectiveness"" as to the development of new drugs in oncology, highlighting how the average oncology drug, from its adoption until the disposal of the market, between 7 to 9 years, with the cost to approximately 2.6 billion dollars. In the same interview, mr Galanis described some of the ways through which it is hoped abbreviation of time in the phases of clinical trials of new drugs, stating that the ""Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology"" (a coalition of academic and research institutions in the USA), is conducting a clinical study with a methodology that can significantly reduce the time of clinical trials between two stages in half the time, 7-8 years that normally would be required.",2514,"greece"

And the Iss warns that despite the increase in vaccination coverage in 2017, the face of hope, especially in the reduction of cases of measles in very young children, it is necessary to implement additional initiatives aimed at populations susceptible to over two years of age (adolescents, young adults, individuals at risk) and also to increase the awareness of the importance of vaccination. Impact of measles is still high in Italy the bulletin of The Iss underlines how, in Italy, measles has still an impact of health in terms of complications and deaths. The bulletin reports that the last two deaths are those of two adults, 29 and 51 years, which occurred in Sicily in the months of April and may, the peak of maximum incidence. Both of them were not vaccinated and had, at the time of infection, some disease that undermined the immune system. The cases have been made known now, as is explained in the bulletin - despite the monitoring provides for the updating of the results at a distance of 30 days from the reporting, sometimes the determination of the cause of death may take a long time.

"42103","More than 142,000 people, many of them children, were killed in 2018 by measles in the world, a year-onyear increase of 14.5% that, according to the World Health Organization (WHO) reveals the ""collective failure"" in the case of vaccination against a disease that was in decline for many years. The total number of cases estimated in 2018 amounted to 9,76 million, a rise of 28.7%, which confirms the strong resurgence of the disease had been detected the previous year. This trend has given to the fret with 15 years of steady progress, reflected in a 70% reduction of cases and deaths. ""There is a vaccine tested against the measles for over 50 years and is a collective failure that these outbreaks are occurring, and to increase cases and deaths, which occurs because people are not being adequately vaccinated"", said when presenting the annual data dr. Kate O'brien, director of immunization and vaccines to the WHO. O'brien said that 2019 will end with a significant increase of cases, after a few major outbreaks in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (to 250,000 cases diagnosed so far), Madagascar (120,000) and Ukraine (50.000). In addition, so far this year, four countries that had 12 months without a record of cases that have suffered outbreaks (Uk, Greece, Albania and Czech Republic). Some flare-ups ""have their origin in the perception of the public about the vaccines, concerns about its safety,"" said the expert in reference to movements antivacunas that, in his opinion, must be combated with clear messages on the importance and reliability of the immunization campaigns. ""It is frankly a scandal and a collective failure that any boy or girl die for a disease that is preventable through vaccination,” says Tedros Adhanom Ghebreysus, director-general of WHO. ""To save lives we need to invest in immunization and quality health care as a right global."" The case of Samoa, a warning to the world In this sense, O'brien cited the example of Samoa, country where the campaigns antivacunas made that would have a very low level of immunization among young children (around 30 %), which facilitated the extension of an outbreak, with 4,000 cases that have caused 53 dead, mostly minors. The antivacunas used a medical error that resulted in the death of two children on that island (the nurses mixed in a negligent manner in the antibody with a muscle relaxant expired) to sow doubts in the population, which contributed to the current outbreak, alarming for a country of less than 200,000 inhabitants. By regions, east Asia was the most affected area in 2018 (a total of 3.8 million cases and 39.100 deaths), followed by Africa, with 1.75 million cases and 52.600 deaths, according to WHO estimates developed in collaboration with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention of the united States, an agency of the Department of Health of this country. Latin america, which in 2017 experienced a resurgence of measles, particularly in Venezuela or Brazil, but it was one of the regions with the least cases (83.500) and it is expected that in 2019 the decline to continue. The importance of the second dose The WHO and the Fund United Nations Children's fund (Unicef) remember that measles can be prevented with two doses of the vaccine during childhood, although many children receive only the first. These organizations see a need, at least 95% of children are vaccinated in the world to slow the advance of the disease, and although the administration of the first dose is closer to this goal (86%), the second is less than 70%.

Risk of epidemic measles affects many countries in the world, including in North America and the South, but the disease had so far spared the Caribbean. Only one case has been reported in the Bahamas this year, in a child of four years arrived in France, according to the latest bulletin of the pan american health Organization (PAHO), dated as of April 18. The virus is one of the most contagious in the world. A person who has caught him can pass it to other people four days before you have buttons.

A patient who enters a room where ten people not vaccinated will contaminate nine of them, according to the u.s. health authorities. Contacted by AFP, Scientology has not wished to respond to the question of the agency. The organization, founded in 1953 by science fiction writer l. Ron Hubbard, and is classified by several countries, including France, as a sect, is not opposed to vaccines, but is skeptical, or even hostile, to modern medicine. “When a scientologist gets a cold, he should write a note to say what an enemy of the church made him sick”, according to Tony Ortega, a former journalist and expert of the organization. “It is bound to be questioned and punished, because in scientology, when one falls sick, it is always his own fault”. According to him, the cases of measles is “one of the worst things to happen to them for a while” from the point of view of public relations. The Freewinds was purchased and converted in 1988 to reach the ultimate level in the scale of progression of the followers. But according to this expert number one enemy of scientology, the ship has sometimes been used as a “prison”. The u.s. health authorities reported that measles was mainly prevalent for the last year in the United States in communities of the links tightened, where the vaccination rate was lower than the national average, as among the orthodox jews of Brooklyn. The country is facing the worst outbreak of measles for 20 years. It is not known if the community as scientology is also well-vaccinated than the average american against measles, or if it is as vulnerable as the communities hitherto affected by the disease.

Please learn from Levi and I, and please vaccinate your children.”  Measles is the most infectious illness known to man and is much easier to catch than flu or Ebola, according to Public Health England. The authority estimates that 20 million measles cases and thousands of deaths have been prevented in the UK since the introduction of the vaccine in 1968.  However, more than half a million British children are unvaccinated against measles which experts blame on anti-vaxx theories on social media.  At 11 months old, the infant was nearly killed after suffering measles complications (Photo: SWNS)  Complications for one in 15 children  Levi first caught measles in November last year, just before his first birthday. It wasn't until days later that he became extremely ill.  “I was baking Levi’s birthday cake and preparing for his party when he began to have terrifying convulsions,"" said single mother Sophie, 22, from Chesham, Buckinghamshire. ""His face was swollen, his body was sore, he didn’t eat, he had the highest temperature I’ve ever seen, he had seizures and he just stared unnervingly into space. It’s something no parent ever wants to see.""  At Stoke Mandeville Hospital, the infant was treated at the High Dependency Unit.  “He was hospitalised for six days and they were the scariest six days of my entire life. “My poor little baby had MRI scans, lumbar punctures, EEGs, cannulas, drips, antibiotics by the multitude and was sedated.  Levi Dale is treated for measles aged 11 months - he contracted the disease one month before he was due to be vaccinated.  “Some people think measles is just having a few spots. Measles causes an onset of infections. It is life threatening. It is scary and my son could have died.  “I want all parents to know what could happen and what to watch out for.""  Sophie's son got ill a month before his jab was due (Photo: SWNS)  Sophie says her son has since made a good recovery, although it was touch and go.  “He would be crying for me when I wasn’t allowed in the room for some procedures,"" she said. ""He spent his first birthday in hospital attached to machines and I was terrified he would lose his spark and never smile again.  “Health body Public Health England even phoned me at midnight wanting to know where I’d been and who I had seen to stop the disease spreading. It was then I realised how very serious a measles epidemic could be.  “The effects have been ongoing as he has had to learn to walk over again but Levi has now had his MMR and is fully recovered.""  Measles can cause complications for one in 15 children (Photo: SWNS)  Discredited vaccine and autism link  Vaccination rates in the UK are among some of the highest in the world but have dropped off in recent years. The US is having its biggest measles outbreak in 25 years, while there have been several outbreaks in the UK.  The situation has lead the health secretary to consider imposing mandatory jabs for the disease.  Hesitancy to vaccinate arose after a study was published which falsely claimed a link between the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine and autism.  The study was discredited, but MMR immunisations in the UK fell to about 80 per cent in the late 1990s and early 2000s and took many years to recover.  And while The Lancet retracted Wakefield's study in 2010 and he was struck off the UK medical register, the anti-vaxx movement is still thriving.  Dr Helen Bedford, Professor of Children’s Health at UCL Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health said: “While the majority of parents are happy to vaccinate, the rapid rise of anti-vaccination scares on social media is causing many to now question the need for vaccines.  “Due to a long-standing successful vaccination programme, as a nation we have forgotten the terrible toll these diseases can take on children.",2411,"uk"

In the first half of the year, from the end of 2018, received more than 41.000 children with this disease, as it is jaarrecord of 2017 at the 23.927 is. The world health organization (WHO) warns that the European countries have to take action. In the whole of 2016, and given 5.273 children in the center. Last year, in Europe, is 37 deaths from measles numbered. The cause of the increase in the number of infections, according to the united nations organization, of the reduction in the number of vaccinations against the virus. In France, Georgia, germany, Greece, Italy, netherlands, Russia, Serbia, lies in the number of measles-infected persons are at this moment in time more than a thousand in each country. In Ukraine, the problem is the greatest where there are more than 23,000 children are infected as well. The public health service warned that this summer is already at risk from measles in the European holiday destinations. In the Netherlands, children are vaccinated twice against the highly contagious nature of the disease: when she was fourteen months, and then once more at the nine-year-old age group. The disease does not have to deal with. The number of cases of measles in the Netherlands, according to the institute for public health and is generally low, except in 2013 and 2014.

This is provided for in the Common Schedule of Vaccination throughout life, adopted last November at the Interterritorial Council of the National Health System (NHS). In addition, according to clarified sources ministerial to Europa Press, the Commission of Public Health of the Ministry is ""discussing"" with the autonomous communities to implement ""new measures"" in the Plan of Prevention against the Measles. These same sources point out that the Ministry is ""in accordance"" with the recommendation of the Spanish Society of Epidemiology (SEE) to vaccinate all persons who are between 40 and 50 years, as the advanced its president, Pere Godoy, in an interview with The Country this Friday. As noted by Godoy, it is ""more economical"" to vaccinate ""all"" the population in this age group, and the risk of vaccinating people already immunized ""is null"".

"5427","The increase is evident when compared with 2016, when all over the year were recorded 884 cases. 90% of all the affected had not been vaccinated, confirming the concerns on the decline of the covers. Also, the Who refers to our Country: ""it Is among those where the disease is still endemic,"" Only in the first three months of 2017 have already been overcome, in Italy, a thousand cases of measles, in the face of 884 registered all over the 2016. The greater the spread of the disease had already been expected by the experts after the peaks recorded in January, when it was reported a worrying increase of over 230% of the cases. The increase “is largely due to the increasing number of parents who refuse vaccination“, he had explained to the ministry of Health. The new data do not make other that to “acknowledge the alarm“, said the owner of the dicastery Beatrice Lorenzin, reiterating that it is “fundamental and urgent application of the new Plan vaccines“. The data are given in the first number of the weekly bulletin, established by the ministry of Health and the Istituto Superiore di Sanita (Iss), which underlines that 90% of all the affected had not been vaccinated, confirming the concerns of the experts on the decline in vaccination coverage. The objective of the national Plan is to stop the hemorrhage of vaccinations recorded in the course of the last few years. Despite the Plan of elimination of measles started already in 2005, more than ten years, the vaccination coverage against the disease in children at 24 months of 85,3%, still far from the 95% that is the threshold value considered necessary to achieve the so-called “immunity of the herd“, so to stop the virus circulation in the population. So much so that on the face of measles in Italy, it is some time between the supervised special, even by the world health Organization. Just Tuesday, the european office of the Who recalled that “two-thirds of the 53 countries in the european region have already eliminated measles, but there are still 14 where the disease is endemic. In seven of these, Romania, Italy, France, Germany, Poland, Switzerland and Ukraine, there has been the majority of the more than 500 cases registered in January.” The bulletin of the Iss has identified exactly 1010 cases up to the 26th of march. The document highlights how 41% of the cases it has been necessary to a shelter, and 14% access to the Emergency room. The most serious complication, encephalitis, was recorded only in 0.1% of cases. The most frequent were diarrhea (21,1%) and stomatitis (17,3%). The region where there were more cases, it is the Lazio, with 277, followed by Piemonte (244) and Lombardy (160). The average age of patients is 27 years, with 57% of the cases that occurred in the range of 15-39 years, while 6% occurred in children under a year, still too young for the vaccine. In Italy, the vaccine against measles is administered around the first year of age, with a second dose before starting school at 5 years old, together with the one against mumps and rubella. Is the trivalent vaccine, MPR, ended up at the centre of a court case based on the hypothesis of a causal link with the onset of autism. After a first instance judgment of the court of Rimini, that in 2012 has recognized this connection (between the protests of the medical and scientific community), on appeal, the courts of Bologna have dismissed this hypothesis, explaining in the reasons that “the apparent absence of other causes” for the occurrence of the disease was not enough to give the responsibility to the vaccination. But, in spite of the judicial truth, the association of the vaccine Mmr-autism has continued to animate the debate between supporters and opponents to vaccines.",2382,"italy"
"5429","Imagine living in a world where suddenly become available vaccines against cancer. Not against a single type of tumour, but against most cancers. What would you do? There vaccinereste only against the one to the lungs (perhaps because you are a smoker), but not against that of the pancreas? And it would be fitting that the minister of Health made compulsory and free for all only the vaccine against prostate cancer, not the cancer of the breast? Unfortunately we do not live in that world. But luckily we live in a world where there are vaccines. And in our Country some – a dozen – are required in the pediatric age group. The two parties, the League and the M5S, believe that, however, you can easily do without vaccines, and it is for this that they want to delete the obligation. It will remain only one? In Parliament, there is a law that would remove the obligation to give every one the freedom to cause disease in their children (and in some cases those of others). Recently the president of the Health Commission of the Senate, where the discussion on the DDL 770 announced – after the controversy of the past few days – a new change of route. No more freedom of choice total as they ask for free-vax and no-vax, no more “method scandinavian”, but to a curious expedient which would satisfy a bit’ all. Senator Pierpaolo Sileri (M5S) has tossed the idea of making mandatory only the measles vaccine: ""we're working on a possible modification of the amendment to the draft of the vaccines while retaining the obligation to have a certification for school attendance only for the measles"". Sileri admits, in substance, that remove the requirement for the certification is the equivalent of removing the obligation tout court. Precisely Sileri means apparently (not very clear) that the obligation will be for the vaccine MPR, the so-called trivalent, which covers measles, that mumps, and rubella: ""it may therefore be necessary, as we are considering, to leave the requirement for the measles, which poses the greatest problems at this time. Considering that the vaccine is the trivalent"". To tell the truth, the last vaccination plan of the Ministry also provides the tetravalent MPRV (which adds protection against chickenpox). But this is not the crucial point. From the one hand, as pointed out on Facebook, Roberto Burioni, it seems that the majority is fun to change your mind too often, as if he was probing the reactions of groups and associations free-vax to this or that proposal. The issue of vaccine “monovalent” on The other hand there is the issue of vaccine “monovalent,” or those prepared vaccine covering only against a specific disease. That there are in some cases (suffice it to recall that all we should do against tetanus), but in others, just do not exist. And that is the case, for example, measles, which – as recalled Sileri – is associated with mumps and rubella. Not only that, the world health organization the goal is to eradicate together with measles and rubella, and already in 2011 the Italian government had launched the national Plan for the elimination of measles and congenital rubella. Then there is a second reason why it is not possible to have the vaccine “monovalent”: the economic factor. To begin the production of a line of vaccines is an operation that is economically costly and the pharmaceutical companies, who already have products on the market are effective and safe as the combined vaccines do not ought to do it, maybe just because he asks for it in Italy. Also because it would not be an operation immediately saw that every drug must pass clinical trials and safety tests of the european health authorities and the national before being placed on the market. In the best case, then it may take months or years to have a vaccine “monovalent” against the measles. But, fortunately, it seems that this will be the case why any amendment should be made mandatory trivalent. We will see how to put things, because that amendment is not there. Remain, however, doubts about how you are moving the 5 Star Movement on the topic. Because this proposal will end up displeasing everyone. With the aggravating circumstance that leaves a door open to the claims of those free/no/boh-vax who ask to be put on the market the vaccine “monovalent”. A question that is not of today, and stems from the formulation itself of the Law Lorenzin who made mention of them included “if available”. The problem is that they are not available, but this has not prevented the anti-vaccinisti to present injunctions and threaten the operators of the centres vaccine that they wanted to give the chromium or the MPR instead of the vaccine “individual”. Finally there is a last question. Making it required only the measles vaccine (or trivalent) you end up to say, implicitly, a very dangerous thing from the point of view of health information. That is to say that the worried parents and hesitant could understand that measles is dangerous, while other diseases (poliomyelitis, tetanus, mortality stratum, diphtheria) are less dangerous. You end up so in order to give reason to those who said that ten vaccines are too many, such as, for example, the minister Matteo Salvini. But we need not worry, because today the DDL 770 eliminates any form of compulsory vaccination. For the joy of the free-market.

"1950","Measles still kills in France in 2018. After the death of a mother of 32 years at the Chu of Poitiers (Vienna) in February of last year, the health care agency public Health France announced the death of a 26 year old patient who contracted measles. Another patient of 17 years is the subject of a “guarded prognosis“ according to the periodic newsletter of the agency. Inadequate immunization coverage in These two cases have prompted the health authorities to insist again on the importance of immunization, while measles vaccination coverage is insufficient in France. This low immunization coverage is directly linked to the spread of this highly contagious disease. The two patients who died were immunocompromised, meaning that they had a immune system too weak to permit them to receive the vaccine. An immunocompromised individual has been vaccinated in the past, but once his weak immune system, the vaccine becomes ineffective and unable to renew. The agency of health surveillance stated that they were “probably contaminated by a near non-vaccinated“. A sanitary survey will address the persistent doubts as to the origin of the contamination. Nevertheless, according to Vanessa Lemoine, a spokesman for public Health France : “it is important to remember the collective benefit of vaccination against measles. And it is essential to vaccinate the entourage of immunocompromised persons and others who cannot be vaccinated -- infants less than one year and women“. Vaccination against measles was already allowed to from 300 000 cases per year in 1985 to 10,000 in 2000. Its impact on public health is, therefore, a positive contrary to the arguments of its detractors. Also read : Measles : Are you protected ? Skepticism persistent The French are distinguishable from their european neighbours for their many doubts about the vaccines. For the antivax very active on social networks, vaccination campaigns would be characterized as hazardous for the health, or guided by the financial interests of the pharmaceutical companies. To improve vaccination coverage and prevent deaths, the government has, therefore, chosen the regulatory path to force the vaccination of children born since January 1 of 11 vaccines, including the MMR (measles, mumps, rubella). Before that, there were only three compulsory vaccinations, and eight recommended. Despite this, the health agency reported Wednesday, 2567 cases of measles since November, with the departments most affected Gironde (24%), Vienna (8%) and the Gard (6%). In 88% of cases, patients have not been vaccinated, or have not received all the injections needed. However, it is the second dose of the vaccine which guarantees the immunity and it varies between 62 percent and 88 percent, according to public Health France. The objective of health authorities is to achieve, as recommended by the world health Organization (WHO), 95% vaccination coverage among those at risk. This population includes adults born after 1980, from generations, where the disease of infant and child vaccination have become less frequent.",2367,"france"
"3504","According to the will of the Federal government, the measles vaccination is to be accommodation from next year, mandatory for kindergarten children as well as for Employees in educational institutions, the medical sector and the Refugee. There are experts who criticize this decision. There is no doubt, however, the Benefits of immunization. The main reasons for the measles vaccination: The strongest reason for the measles vaccination acts lies in their success. In many countries, it has been observed that, initially, better Hygiene and a more stringent outbreak control, expressed as the Numbers of Diseased to bottom, the curves are only close to Zero tend, if the vaccine is available. For the Federal Republic of Germany there are not sufficient Numbers, but from the GDR. There, in 1970, was introduced in the first and in 1986 the second Dose of the vaccine mandatory - with great success. Only at the beginning of the 1980s, there were setbacks because of early vaccinated, and also because the vaccine sometimes wrong, and was transported and stored. It protects all of the a Few diseases can spread so explosively like the measles. An Infected person reaches a group of 100 unprotected people, is he, about 15 of them, which in their turn will infect about 15 people. Within weeks, the entire group is ill, but one or two Happy, the get in section. For this to Happen you can calculate, how large the Vaccination must be in order for the Virus is stopped. In the case of measles, he is about 95 percent. So, in the 100-member group 95 the perfect Vaccination can only become a maximum of five. The probability that the Infected comes to all of them is low, because the Vaccinated protect the Unvaccinated effectively. Herd immunity is the name of this collective umbrella. He offers those who can not be vaccinated for any reason, even babies that are too small, children can not be immunized due to chronic complaints or those where the vaccination is not effective as hoped. Who sits without reason, unprotected, behind-the-Vaccinated, abused the System and contributes to the fact that it loses its force. It is about A vaccination can have side effects, however, all the indications are that they are less common and milder than the symptoms of measles disease. Exactly how often side effects occur in Germany, is not known. Only suspected cases, which have about half of a probable or possible relationship to the vaccination. In the graphic above Figures are taken from scientific studies, to which the authorities in Germany, the USA and the UK professions. They relate to vaccination in healthy children. It is cheap, The complete two doses of the vaccine, including the doctor's fee cost is currently around 90 Euro. Protect in addition to the measles, against Mumps and rubella. However, if a measles patient must be treated in a clinic - 2017 were at least 40 per cent of all Sufferers - the cost is an average of 2200 euros. In the case of complications, the sum increases considerably: The most expensive measles-treatment with the AOK cost in the year 2017, more than 15 000 Euro. A precise economic analysis for Germany. It is safe, more and more, earlier and earlier: parents worry sometimes that the sheer volume of vaccinations, the pipsqueak gets, could overwhelm the young immune system. In fact, today, be administered more vaccinations: 100 years Ago, children received only the smallpox vaccine, today you will be immunized in quick succession against 14 diseases. However, the amount of the administered antigens, i.e. foreign substances that stimulate the immune system, in the same period, much lower. Only the smallpox vaccine is no longer used after the eradication of the disease, had almost 200 antigens. Today, all standard vaccinations have taken together, about 150 antigens. In its natural environment a child is exposed to every day hundreds to thousands of antigens. And it is equipped with this quantity deal. Mathematically would be only 0.1 percent of the capacity of the immune system, when a child would receive 11 vaccinations at the same time. You may be the Virus eradicated, Theoretically, the measles virus could eventually disappear from the biosphere. Man is its only host, a high level of collective Vaccination would deprive the pathogen in the soil. In 2010, the world health organisation WHO has described the eradication as a feasible. So far, about 50 countries - including all States of North and South America have achieved the necessary Coverage. A few days ago, Sri Lanka was added. Germany, however, the success remains for years denied. The rate for both vaccinations is high at 93 percent. It is necessary After the beginning of the Millennium, the appointment for the second measles vaccination for the families of more favourable moment was laid out, more parents their children are vaccinated and the diseases have been in this country less frequently. However, there are still regular outbreaks. This year, almost 500 cases were counted. That is to say: Everyone who is not vaccinated or the disease has not yet been through, is at risk. It strengthens the Cohesion Here is a well-known phenomenon, not only in Germany. If the disease is rare, also decreases the risk for Contracting the disease. It is the point at which it is for the child is more likely to come to suffer (even if mild) Impfnebenwirkung to infect than ever with the measles. Then the Impfbereitschaft drops, and the disease is spreading again, until the personal risk-Benefit balance again in favor of the vaccination. Theoretically, this wave can go movement again and so on, or on a point level, the fear of the disease and the fear of Impfnebenwirkungen keep the balance. In both cases, is always being created avoidable suffering. The solution: The company recognizes the pattern and understands that the Act jeopardized only according to the personal risk calculation is a permanent achievement of the large majority. You have to be inoculated more and manages to defeat the Virus for the benefit of future generations.",2363,"germany"

It is important to give young people in day care centres and schools as well as the employees. This also applies to hospitals, refugee centers, and summer camps.

The requirement does not apply to people who are doctor can prove that there is a certain risk to their patients as well as for those who in 1970 were born. The latter would, as a child, have been exposed to measles, mumps, and would thus be expected to have a certain degree of immunity.

It is likely that the budget will be, however, heavier. Measles is a disease with a high rate of attack, as they say in the jargon. Means that it transmits very quickly, most of the flu, through droplets of infected that spread in the air and penetrate in the respiratory tract, the nose and the mouth. Ten days of incubation from the time of the passage of the virus into a new individual. It can be anything to catch it. The consequences can be serious, even fatal.

""The overarching narativem all 76 of the negative articles was that vaccines are ineffective and dangerous. Among the most popular negative narratives about vaccination included those highlighting the negative consequences of vaccinations (in particular the claim that vaccines cause autism) and narratives about the toxic ingredients of vaccines. Another popular narrative claimed that vaccination serves as a means to manipulate and control people. Claims about the ineffectiveness and dangers of vaccines was also present in the news, which zlehčovaly infectious diseases against which vaccination is intended.“ Showed the interconnectedness of sites and a strong impact in the form of sharing is in social networks. The fight with vaccination we're losing If we wanted to use sports terminology, so while in 2010 the us disease nevsítila even one goal, in less than six months of this year we took over more than a monkey.

There would be nothing wrong with that, if discussed immunologists and paediatric doctors who have to the topic of the lack of relevant information, read the technical report and give individual information into context. The Czech mothers must leave their children vaccinated against nine diseases. There are exceptions, which can be on the possibility of neočkovat your child to apply. One of the options to which the exemption applies, it is religion. 4 sinners In the report published by the World health organisation says that Albania, the Czech republic, Greece and the United Kingdom lost the status of the countries in which they were eradicated measles.

Costa Rica has been free of measles since 2006 - while the last imported case was in 2014.  But the country's ministry of health confirmed the virus has been brought back through the holidaying family.  The boy's mother, 30, is also unvaccinated and is believed to have told medics that children in her son's school have had measles.  SEARCH FOR INFECTIONS  Blood samples taken from the boy tested positive for the highly infectious disease - which can lead to pneumonia and other more serious complications.  The family flew to Costa Rica in February and have stayed at hotels in tourist hotspots San Jose and Santa Teresa, officials told the Costa Rica Star.  Authorities are now searching for anyone who has been in contact with them during their stay.  This includes all those on board the Air France flight that took the family to Costa Rica on February 18.

Measles was officially wiped out in the UK in 2016 thanks to the jab, the World Health Organisation (WHO) confirmed.  According to the WHO, the measles vaccine prevented 21 million deaths worldwide between 2000 and 2017.  But a rise in imported cases to the UK and outbreaks across Europe suggest the tide is turning in the fight against the virus.  In 2016 there were more than 500 measles cases in England.  ANTI-VAX MYTHS  Health officials blame the rise of the so-called ""anti-vax"" movement for contributing to outbreaks.  Anti-vaxxers wrongly believe that vaccines are more harmful to their children - including unfounded claims linking the MMR jab to autism.  Such misinformation is leading to a resurgence of potentially life-threatening infections, health chiefs fear.

"1951","The children who receive the MMR vaccine (measles, mumps, rubella) are not more exposed than others to the risk of developing autistic disorders, confirms a new study that massive. The vaccination of children is a controversial topic in the last twenty years. It is the theorist of the conspiracy Andrew Wakefield who, on the basis, had published a research paper fraudulent establishing a link between the MMR vaccine (measles, mumps and rubella) and autism. The author of this paper has since been discredited, but a distrust of vaccines is is in spite of everything installed. Even today, some parents choose not to vaccinate their children. This is why measles is making its grand return in the world. No link is established, many studies have already established the fact that there was no link. And if there are still skeptics, this one, published today in the journal Annals of Internal Medicine, is one of the most massive ever conducted. The records of 657 000 children born in Denmark between 1999 and 2010 have been vetted. On this sample, 6 500 children were diagnosed with a disorder on the autism spectrum (ASD). By examining the number of children who received the MMR vaccine, it is clear from this analysis that no link can be established between the two conditions. ""The study shows, as have many others, that parents should not choose not to vaccinate because of this association punitive between the MMR vaccine and autism, said lead researcher Anders Hviid, of the Statens Serum Institute in Copenhagen, and lead author of the study. There is truly no association."" Interestingly, the vaccine has been associated with a risk slightly lower than autism. At least among the girls and the children born from 1999 to 2001, report the researchers. It also points out that another study published in August 2018 in the journal Pediatrics, conducted among over 80 000 children, had his side shown no link between the vaccine prenatal Tdap (tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis) vaccine and autism spectrum disorders. The origins of the autism As to the biological mechanisms responsible for autism, they still remain largely unknown. In the context of this study, it is clear, however, that most exposed to the risk of autism were boys born from 2008 to 2010, or even children who had a brother or sister with autism. Among the other risk factors, there is a low birth weight, or premature birth. The fact of tobacco during pregnancy could also play a role. Source related Articles :",2297,"france"

All indications are that it began with the infection of a child on a trip to Israel, and which is extended by the opposition of a part of the community to vaccines. 99% of the children attending public schools in New York are vaccinated. The percentage is a little lower, 98%, in the ‘yeshivas’, the private schools for orthodox jews. But here, in Williamsburg, children without vaccines are the 5% and, in some schools, the percentage shoots up to 20%. The reason is that in the last few years have been circulating rumors and propaganda antivacuna that have permeated part of this population. An example of this is Mikha'the 26-year-old, one of the few neighbors who agree to speak with this newspaper. ""Personally I do not support vaccination,"" he says. ""I know of a case of a child who was given the vaccine and the next day was autism,"" he adds without being able to explain if this is a case that you know personally, a family member, friend or acquaintance. A lot of misinformation disinformation that proves it's surprising and explains why the city of New York has taken extraordinary measures: ""The measles is not as dangerous"", continues on a disease that can bring serious complications and even be fatal. ""If someone from my family would have contracted he would maybe think different."" The response of New York before the outbreak is unprecedented: we have closed ‘yeshivas’ with low rates of vaccination, has imposed a state of medical emergency, it has been decreed the obligation of immunizations and are threatened with fines of a thousand dollars to parents who do not comply. The concern is greatest in these dates, in full celebration of Easter, with large family celebrations that facilitate the contagion. Yoel, another neighbor who is to speak, ensures that it is in favour of vaccination, and what will you do with your first child that is newly born, when we touch. Just is 20 years old and a man of more senior interrupts him to know what he is talking about and takes the word with aggression: ""99% of this community is vaccinated,"" she says, although the numbers are not certain. ""But what is intolerable is to force the parents to do so, and threaten with fines"", writes, and predicts that the measure will be lying in court over ""unconstitutional"". It is a prevailing opinion in a community accustomed to be governed by their own rules and to live of the backs-although glued - to the economic and cultural capital of the world. Get much because they vote in a bloc and negotiate their support for the politician that most give them. ""If you continue with this hardness, it may affect our vote,"" says the neighbor about mayor Bill de Blasio, to which the community supported in the last two elections. Only one person got to 39 The journey of a measles outbreak in New York city to Michigan exemplifies how easy it can be spread in closed communities such as the ultra-orthodox jews. A man has moved from Big Apple to Detroit last month, with the intention of raising funds for a charity jewish. In the journey of fifteen hours of road started to feel sick, with a cough and fever. Went to the doctor nothing more to get to the motor city and the practitioner she was diagnosed with bronchitis: I had never seen a case of measles. In the days I was in Michigan, the patient visited a number of synagogues in the day and stayed with families, in isolated communities, who spend a lot of time between them and where the knowledge of the vaccination is lower. He alone was responsible for 39 cases in the days I was in Michigan. After, he said to the medical authorities who believed he was immune because he had had the disease when he was younger.",2292,"spain"
"1953","Measles is breaking records in Europe. Almost two times more people have contracted the disease during the first six months of 2018, on the whole the year 2017. This is the assessment made by the world health Organization (WHO), which identified, on 20 August, at least 37 people died of measles on the continent during the first six months of 2018 – be one more than the entire year 2017. Read the analysis of Decoders : Should we fear the return of the measles ? Measles has the image of a benign disease by its symptoms : fever, fatigue, cough. Nevertheless, it can be very serious if complications occur severe (attacks on the brain, infection of the lungs). In these cases, the consequences of contamination can lead to the death of the patient, especially among unvaccinated persons. Sharp increase in the number of measles cases in Europe Evolution of the number of cases of measles reported in Europe (53 countries) between 2010 and 2018. The data for the year 2018 shall identify the cases found between the month of January and the month of July. World health organization Source : Disease is highly contagious, By 2015, the WHO launched its european action plan for vaccines, 2015-2020, of which a major objective is ""to eliminate measles and rubella"" by the end of the decade. In the meantime, since the beginning of the year 2018, seven european countries have each recorded at least a thousand cases of measles in adults as in children. The phenomenon affects both of the countries located in the eastern part (Russia, Georgia, Ukraine, and Serbia) and west of the continent (Greece, Italy and France). However, Ukraine, which is suffering a health system that is failing, in itself concentrates more than half (23 070) of the measles cases recorded during the first six months of the year. More than a third of the countries of the Europe zone have a vaccination coverage below the 95 % Rate of measles vaccination coverage by country in 2017. World health organization Source : measles is spread mainly by air, which makes them very contagious. A sick person can contaminate, alone, fifteen to twenty individuals. At european level, the immunization coverage average against measles increased from 88 % in 2016 to 90 % in 2017. However, the WHO stresses the persistence of large disparities within a same country, "" some areas are reporting a coverage of more than 95 %, and other, less than 70 % "". The united Nations agency that recommends 95 % immunization coverage (two doses of the vaccine), in order to guarantee the immunity of a population. According to the data it has collected, only 19 of the 53 european countries possessed in 2017, a vaccination coverage rates average above 95 %. The disease cause of concern to the French health authorities. Since 1 January, eleven vaccines (including measles) are even mandatory regardless of the age. France, which is experiencing an upsurge of measles cases since November 2017, has a lower rate of vaccination coverage of 80 % in order to prevent this disease. Between the November 6, 2017 and July 11, 2018, the number of reported cases stood at 2 646, 22% of whom required hospitalization, according to the epidemiological bulletin published weekly by public Health, France. The peak of new cases weekly was reached in April and then stabilized since the end of may, with an average of 40 cases weekly reported. In total, 85 counties reported at least one sick person. The incidence is highest among the less than 1 year with 28.2 cases per 100 000 inhabitants. Public health France points out that 89 % of measles cases have occurred in patients with non-or poorly vaccinated. Three measles-related deaths were identified. Reduce the numbers of vulnerable population in Serbia and The Ukraine are particularly affected by cases of measles in 2018 Number of measles cases reported per 100 000 inhabitants in Europe by country, between January and July 2018. The scale here is semi-logarithmic to better view the values. WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION Source : The rest of Europe is variously affected. Despite a coverage rate average of 91 % in 2017, Serbia has been hit since the beginning of the year by a significant contamination (71 cases per 100 000 inhabitants). At the same time, the Belgium finds one case of measles per 100 000 inhabitants with a rate of vaccination coverage is lower (85 %). ""Once the virus gets within a country or a community with a low rate of coverage, the infection spreads like a forest fire among the vulnerable populations of non-vaccinated or under-vaccinated, according to dr Siddhartha Datta, technical manager for the European region to the WHO. In a country with a coverage rate above 95 %, a possible epidemic shuts down quickly, because the transmission of the virus will be hampered by the small number of vulnerable people. ""Under this threshold,"" States are subject to epidemics. The differences between the numbers of cases identified in Serbia and in Belgium mainly depend on the non-vaccination or under-vaccination of children against the virus, "" says Mr Datta. A WHO report in 2018 on the measles and rubella vaccine indicates that, out of the 23 927 cases of measles reported in Europe in 2017, 14 500 – 65% of the people affected were children and teenagers under the age of 20 years. This confirms the high transmissibility of the virus within populations, more young people are not immunized. ""Vaccinated children, adolescents and adults who have been forgotten in the previous years is essential to protect the newborn from contamination "", recommends the doctor. These records of cases of measles reported in 2018 will contribute, without doubt, the discussions between experts at the european committee of the who, which meet in Rome, in September, representatives of the 53 european countries.",2288,"france"
"5441","As of yesterday, there is much talk of a release from the ministry of Health, which is defined as “worrisome” the increase in the number of cases of measles in Italy, mainly due to a considerable reduction of the vaccinations, the most effective system to control the virus that causes the disease. Beyond a few overly alarmist in the newspapers, the problem should not be underestimated: it may cause a further spread of the disease, which in some cases can lead to serious complications, sometimes lethal. The numbers From the beginning of the year, the ministry of Health has detected more than 700 cases of measles in the whole of Italy, 230 percent more than in the same period of last year, when they were detected in 220 cases (so more than three times). The data is further alarming when compared with the total number of cases of measles throughout the last year: 844. In little more than two months he has already almost reached the amount of infections detected in an entire year. More than half of the cases of measles falls in the age group between 15 and 39 years, with an increase of infections among doctors, nurses and in general healthcare. The regions most affected are the Piedmont, Lazio, Lombardy and Tuscany. Measles measles is an infectious disease of the respiratory system, is caused by a virus and is highly contagious. Is transmitted by air, and the one who contracts becomes contagious approximately three days before symptoms and up to a week after the appearance of the scab red over a good part of the body (rash). The disease, in addition to the rash, cause coughs, colds and high fever, which usually reaches peak around 40 °C. measles might be the cause of many complications, from pneumonia to encephalitis (a dangerous infection that affects the brain and the rest of the central nervous system contained in the cranium) through otitis media entity. In 2012, according to the WHO, there have been 122mila deaths attributable to measles, about 330 deaths every day. The most recent epidemic in Italy, registered in 2002, has caused the death of six people and led to 15 cases of encephalitis. Vaccination with The trivalent vaccine MPR, free and recommended by physicians, allows you to immunize the new-born from three very common diseases in the first years of life, and that can lead to dangerous complications: mumps (the “mumps”), rubella, and indeed the measles. Simplifying a lot, the vaccination consists in the administration of the virus non-viable in the form that is widely disempowered) that cause the three diseases, so as to stimulate an immune response by the body that learns to recognize the virus and to prevent them by keeping them under control. The immune system maintains a memory that will serve in case you come in contact with the real virus. The vaccine MPR over the years has allowed us to immunize hundreds of millions of people around the world and save the lives of many of them, but is resisted by the movements against the vaccines, which were born primarily due to misinformation and an old and fraudulent study from 1998, from time denied by all the major health organizations of the world including the WHO and retired from the same journal The Lancet, which had published at the end of the Nineties. The alleged relationship between vaccines and autism has never been proven by any scientific research, but this has not stopped in recent times, some magistrates in Italy to issue questionable orders and judgments that have contributed to increase the mistrust on the part of parents who must decide whether to vaccinate or not their children. The rejection of the vaccines In the press release of the ministry of Health stated that the increase in the circulation of measles in Italy is due in large part to the increasing number of parents who refuse the vaccination, despite the evidence established, and despite the measures of some regions that tend to improve the covers, interacting with families and parents”. The data confirm the growing mistrust of a tool health so important: in 2015, the vaccination coverage against measles in children up to 24 months of age (the vaccination is recommended within the first two years of life) was 85,3 percent, the 10 percent lowest 95 percent indicated by the experts and by the main health organizations such as international minimum threshold to stop the circulation of measles in the population. Recommended, but not mandatory administration of the vaccine MPR is strongly recommended by the ministry of Health, but it is not mandatory, because the current laws do not provide for the obligations real. The last word on the vaccinate or not their children rests with parents, and there is no possibility to force them in one direction or the other. Pediatricians, family doctors and other health professionals must still follow the guidelines of the ministry, informing the parents about the importance of vaccination to protect the health of their children and that of the whole community. One aspect that is often overlooked is precisely related to the need to give protection through vaccines, even to those who can not vaccinate, not out of choice but for special medical conditions (usually severe) that advise against vaccination. If the majority of the population is vaccinated, it greatly reduces the risk of infection even for those who could not receive the vaccine (or in the rare case that did not completely effect), because the virus circulates among fewer people and reduce the possibility to enter in contact with: it is the so-called “immunity of the flock”. In the moment in which the vaccination coverage is reduced, the non-vaccinated are exposed to a much higher risk, which in the case of measles, can complicate the healing or leave the consequences to life, especially at a mature age. This in part explains the higher number than usual of cases of infection among adults, reported by the ministry. Incentives for the vaccination To fight against the reduction of vaccinations, some Italian regions have undertaken projects of various types with the objective of increasing coverage. In Emilia-Romagna, for example, has decided to make mandatory certain vaccinations for children attending the nursery: in the absence of vaccination, you can not be allowed. In the case of the Emilia-Romagna region measles and not yet in compulsory vaccinations to enter kindergarten, but other regions are considering placing it in their requests. At the beginning of the year, the ministry of Health has also activated a new plan that has made newspapers all the major vaccines, overcoming the differences that existed between the region and the region where, in some cases, were still at payment by means of ticket. As provided by laws and regulations, continue to be optional, but the ability to carry out the without costs and with fewer restrictions related to age, which should allow to increase the coverage.",2288,"italy"
"7648","According to the cdc, the situation is well in hand, and because it's not going to be a large-scale outbreak.

The low vaccination rate, The vaccination rate in Urk, the netherlands is low: last year was 61.1 per cent of children under 2 years old for the MMR shot, which protects against measles, mumps.

So far, in our country, approximately 40 patients have been reported, including the cases in Urk, the netherlands). In previous years, the order of ten to twenty patients, in the whole of the year.

"5439","The complaint comes from Unicef: measles, declared eliminated in 2000, is back and has killed in the 2017 approximately 110 thousand people, mostly children. This year, according to the Un, cases of measles are up 300% compared to last year. Two doses of the vaccine are essential to protect children from the disease. But in Italy there are at least 435mila children not vaccinated: fifth among rich countries with lower vaccination coverage. Made with Visme Infographic Maker Decreases the coverage of the vaccine “measles is still far too contagious”, underlines Henrietta Fore, the director-general of Unicef. “It is important to not only expand coverage but also to maintain rates of vaccination at the doses most suited to create an umbrella of immunity for all”. The growth in the number of children not vaccinated, said the Agency, has created the conditions for outbreaks of measles that is now affecting everyone. In the world, remember the higher Institute of health, the vaccinations prevent, every year, three million deaths (7 per day) and protect from serious diseases like measles, polio, diphtheria, tetanus. However, in Italy, observes the Institute, from 2013 to 2016 has been registered a decrease of vaccine coverage for various preventable diseases, which has led to the law on the obligation. The world health Organization recommends a threshold of 95% immunization coverage to reach the so-called immunity of the flock. The causes of the problem of the return of The measles, in Italy, is caused in part by cuts to health care, but above all by the fear and scepticism vis-a-vis vaccines. At the least, to hear a european Commission survey, which revealed that the majority of italians are very misinformed about vaccinations. 46% of respondents, for example, thinks that vaccinations cause serious side effects. 12% admitted to not knowing how to answer. About a third thought that weaken the immune system (32%), and that may cause the disease by which they protect (34%). The italians are much better informed of the French and british, but less than Spanish, and Swedish. For the european Commission vice-president Jyrki Katainen, “this means that our work to increase the coverage and to combat the misinformation about vaccines is far from being finished”. Appeals also Alberto Mantovani, scientific director of the Humanitas of Milan: “In the world there are still 1.5 million children die from diseases that are preventable with vaccines. I think that, first of all, who is doing my job has a moral obligation, must do his part, to share what he knows. I think the legal obligation, beyond to ensure the security of the children, has a pedagogical value“.",2274,"italy"

But they now seem to have renounced their scepticism, with the health ministry calling for 800,000 infants, children and young adults to receive vaccinations against measles.  ""Given that there is a measles emergency, we will uphold the obligation for children up to the age of 16 (to be vaccinated),"" said Vittorio Demicheli, a member of a ministerial commission of experts.

"649","Dedicated to 7-year-old daughter Roal has Given: Measles is a dangerous disease, Roald Dahl and his daughter Olivia (to him) more and more people are Contracting potentially life-threatening diseases for which vaccines have been developed up to 50 years. Recent measles cases reach record high levels as the reason, mainly, the rejection of vaccination, who was deservedly among the 10 global health threats for 2019 according to the world health organization. Might look like this trend of voluntary niacinimide children, someone lost family members due to measles mass vaccination? The answer is chraracteristics letter writer Roald Gave written in 1986. In 1962, with his daughter dying from subacute sclerosing anencephalic - a complication from the measles virus. Since Gave is becoming an uncompromising defender of vaccination. 24 years after 7-year-old daughter dies, writes an open letter to all parents, as they suggest to vaccinate their children, hoping that the case with the death of his daughter will be instructive for them. Anyone who thinks not vaccinera your children, you should study every word of this letter. Olivia, my biggest daughter to catch measles when it was seven. As the disease went on in the usual way, I remember that you often read to Olivia in bed, and I'm not particularly worried. Then, one morning, when it seemed that here-here will rise again, I sat down beside her, showing her how to make little animals out of colored threads, and when it's her turn, I noticed that the fingers and mind her not to work together and that nothing can be done. ""Are you okay? ”, I asked her. ""Feel sleepy"", she replied. An hour later he was unconscious. After 12 hours was dead. Marbelito was something terrible called subacute sclerosing anencephalic, and the doctors couldn't do anything to save her. It was up to 24 years in 1962, but even now, if a child with measles engines of the same deadly reaction such as Olivia, the doctors can't help him again. On the other hand, there is today something that parents can do to ensure that such a tragedy will not happen to their child. They can insist that their child may be imunizarea against measles. I have not had the opportunity to see Olivia in 1962 because at that time there was no reliable vaccine for measles. Today for the family is affordable, effective and safe vaccines and all you need to do is ask the doctors to put it on your child. Still not clear that measles can be a dangerous disease. Believe me, it can. In my opinion, parents who now refuse to vaccinate their children endangering the lives of these children. In America, where measles immunization is compulsory, measles virtually banned. Here in the UK, as many parents refuse, either out of vygolova, ignorance or fear, we still have 100,000 cases of measles a year. Of these, more than 10,000 will suffer side effects of one type or another. At least 10 000 will develop ear infection or chest. About 20 will die. Let's get into it. Each year about 20 children die in Britain from measles. What are the risks to your child if vaccinated? Almost non-existent. Listen to this. About 300 000 people only one child every 250 years will develop serious side effects from measles immunization. This means that the probability is 1 in a million. More likely your child is to put out a piece of chocolate, than become seriously ill from the measles vaccine. Why worry so? It would be a crime to leave a child to go novacinema. The ideal time is 13 months, but it's never too late. All children who go to school, and there is still no immunization against measles, you should ask your parents to allow him to get the vaccine as soon as possible ... ... accidentally took two books Olivia. The first was ""James and the giant peach"" (James and the Giant Peach) when she was still alive. The second was ""The BFG"" dedicated to the memory of her, after he died from measles.

More than half of those who contracted the disease recently has from 15 to 40 years. Of the few cases analyzed in January, 12% had been vaccinated one or more times (another 7% do not know anything about). It is known, from previous studies, that about 5% of vaccinated not immunized. The protection provided by the disease, however, continues throughout life. It is very difficult, today, to be able to calculate the effective protection in the various layers of the population. It could be protected to 30% or 40% or 60%, nobody knows, because we don't bother to check if the immunization is present or has occurred. However, the disease appears in waves, on average, every five years. Infants who are born to mothers vaccinated receive a protective antibody titer lower. So, even the small ones, are slightly less protected in the age the most the delicate. And, in fact, are also increased cases of measles under one year of age (the vaccine is at 15 months). The top brass do not believe that the few children not vaccinated (11-13%) have transparency, that are sick and may infect both children of the same age previously vaccinated (???) that those who can not be vaccinated. Some soprano: the non-vaccinated are the collapse of the immunity of the flock, and they will get back all diseases. Not only that, it is their fault even if the leukemic get some terrible infection until she died. We know that no one has ever checked how much of the population is effectively immunized, naturally or due to the vaccine, then you do not know the percentage of the immunity of the flock from measles, especially among twenty-somethings-forty-year-olds who have not contracted the disease. Also, it is much easier - unfortunately - that leukaemia patients could contract the measles from the person who just made the vaccination a live virus, for example from' 87-89% of the children. (Source: Asl and the law 210/92 art. 4 which provides for the compensation of unvaccinated individuals who have infection with vaccinated subjects). Crescendo of trumpets and wind instruments: the children are not vaccinated should be banned to the asylum, it should be forbidden to the asylum, it should be forbidden to the asylum... And adults (not vaccinated)? No work? But then also no tax? Other wind instruments: ""without obligations, people do not understand"", and plans to approve in the Municipalities and in the Regions, measures punitive. For example, in the Veneto region has been proposed to pay for the damages of diseases (?) to families that do not vaccinate. Reaching the summit of the absurd, to the damaged by the vaccine will not receive a cent! Families uncomfortable and unfortunate that after a vaccination are precipitated into hell, have been paid with a document that shows that adverse events do not exist. The end of the discussion. (Document Fnomceo, July 2016). The Flauto dolce. We have seen here that as long as the national law remains in force will not prevent access to asylum (even if they are approved the regulations for municipal and regional), it is sufficient that between the schools and the Asl there is a report of non-vaccination. Baritones: the families do not vaccinate their children due to the effect of the campaigns antivax on the web. Sin that will not find a trace of campaigns antivax",2212,"italy"
"1954","The world health Organization has warned on Thursday 14 February, a measles outbreak in the world, with an increase of about 50 % of the cases reported last year compared to 2017. ""When we see the reported cases increase by 50 %, we know that we are headed in the wrong direction,"" said Katherine O'brien, the director of the department of Immunization and biologicals, WHO. She warned : ""Our data show that there was a substantial increase [in the number] of cases of measles. We see it in all the regions. We are seeing outbreaks that may be prolonged, and that are growing. ""The figures available to the WHO are provisional, given that the countries have until April to announce the registered cases in 2018. According to the WHO, in mid-January, nearly 229 000 cases of measles had been reported in the world in 2018, up from about 170,000 in 2017. In early February, at least ten-eight cases of contamination had been reported in the resort of Val-Thorens, Savoie. ""All regions have seen an increase in cases last year "", pointed out Katrina Kretsinger, the medical director of the expanded Programme on immunization of the WHO, citing the epidemics in Ukraine, Madagascar, democratic Republic of the Congo, Chad and Sierra Leone. ""In the Europe region, approximately 83 000 cases have been reported in 2018 to date, of which 53 000 in Ukraine,"" she said. Measles is a serious disease and highly contagious, which can be avoided by using two doses of a vaccine "" safe and effective "", according to the WHO, who deplores the dissemination of false information about the vaccine, particularly in the rich countries. Also read The vaccine effectiveness eleven diseases 136, 000 deaths in the world last year of measles can cause complications, debilitating, or even fatal, including encephalitis, pneumonia and a permanent loss of vision. The risk of death and complications is particularly high in infants and in young children who are malnourished or whose immune system is weakened. Last year, measles has caused the death of around 136, 000 people in the world, according to WHO. The number of measles cases had decreased until 2016, explained Ms. Kretsinger. ""We are going backwards in relation to progress and we do backwards not because we don't have the tools to prevent this, we have the tools to prevent measles. We recoil, because we don't vaccinate ' children, has taken Ms. O'brien. At the global level, ""the primary reason"" for this failure in the vaccination of children is that "" those who need it the most (...) do not have access to the vaccine "", she said, pointing to the increase in the number of ""fragile States, health emergencies and refugees"" in the world. ""Children who are not vaccinated are the poorest, those who live in the most marginalized communities, this may be the children of refugees, of migrants,"" she said.",2211,"france"
"5443","To cut the legs to the virus, there are vaccines, not only for children. It is important that all become immune to the virus. Here are some important details on the subject. Many parents are frightened for cases of measles in Italy. What to do? The answer is very simple. First of all, vaccinate children, because it is in this population that measles is circulating with greater intensity. What is more urgent and more important than to vaccinate them all, in order to cut the legs to the circulation of measles. But it is not enough. Adults also should get vaccinated against the measles, There are many adults who are not immune to the measles. Some have not been vaccinated, others have not received a single administration of the vaccine, while it requires two. In this case it is essential to be vaccinated, the act that it becomes imperative and essential if the adult is not immune is a health, a teacher or a person who is in contact with the public or with persons who are weak and sick. If you know you are not immune, or even if you are in doubt, go to the vaccination center of your local health unit or your family doctor, to provide as soon as possible. You might by this gesture to save your life and the lives of others. Some clarifications 1) The trivalent vaccine (measles, mumps, and rubella – MMR) is very secure (serious side effects are so rare that it is difficult to calculate them, but we are talking about a case on a few million, then the largest risk is they'll drive you from your home to the vaccination center, guided with prudence), and very effective: more than 98%. 2) The vaccine MMR is contraindicated for women that are expecting a baby and after vaccination is essential to avoid pregnancy for at least a month (better two for prudence). 3) The vaccine MMR is not contraindicated while breastfeeding, but it is best to get pregnancy, already vaccinated, because in this way you can transfer antibodies against measles to baby through the placenta. The breast milk does not provide any protection against measles. 4) Who was vaccinated with MPR is not infectious, in fact, being free, cannot become infected and do not transmit the disease. 5) If an individual has already had one or two of the three diseases can safely use the vaccine MPR, without any contraindications. 6) To be clear: all the people who are not immune to measles should be vaccinated, if there are not any specific contraindications (very rare, apart from the pregnancy). 7) immunity against measles, whether arising from disease, whether arising from the vaccine lasts for the entire life. In short, go get vaccinated and take off the thought once and for all",2209,"italy"
"15012","The city of New Yorkha already confirmed 498 cases of measles, in the context of the epidemic of this disease that has emerged within the jewish community-orthodox neighborhoods of Williamsburg and Borough Park in the Brooklyn district. The city authorities have warned that the pandemic is due to the refusal of a good part of this community to get vaccinated. Therefore, in addition to launching awareness-raising campaigns, the city council has declared the situation a public health emergency and is requiring those who live in certain postal codes that received the vaccines for measles, mumps, and rubella. The city's department of Health and Mental Hygiene checked the primers of the people to whom the measure and who has not been vaccinated or is immune (by contagion above) may receive a fine of up to $ 1,000. According to CNN, the outbreak, which began in October, originated after an unvaccinated child is contagiase of the disease during a visit to Israel. Subsequently, according to the department of Health, more people would have been infected in the country of the Middle East and would have carried the virus to the districts of Brooklyn and Queens. Despite the fact that several rabbis of the city have called to get vaccinated, stating that there is no religious reason in judaism for not getting vaccinated, this movement has spread among the ultraorthodox population through small organized groups that carry out events and distribute material propaganda. In addition, although the influence of these groups is particularly strong in jewish communities ultra-orthodox of these ditritos, many parents of other ethnic groups and religions also refuse to vaccinate their children against measles and other diseases.

"3510","With measles in the past year in the Europe Region of the world health organization, as many people infected in the last ten years. It was a debate, as experienced in the Bundestag rather rare: The Green donated to the FDP applause, the Left even found a few words of praise for a Federal Minister. It is agreed that there needs to be Vaccinated in Germany. After months of discussion, the persistent gaps in the German population, the German Parliament approved on Thursday a statutory mandatory vaccination to protect against the measles. ""Measles protection is the protection of children,"" said Minister of health, Jens Spahn (CDU) during the final consultation in the Berlin Reichstag building. For Spahns design parties of the CDU and the SPD voted in addition to the members of the government, and also the group of the FDP. The greens and the Left, which had expressed in the run-up to sharp criticism of Spahns design, abstained. Only the representatives of the AfD voted against it. The Federal Council agrees with the law now, it occurs on 1. March 2020. So parents for their children must provide evidence of the March to an effective immunization against the measles, before you can claim a care in day-care centres and schools. For children who are already housed in the facilities, you will need to submit the proof to in mid-2021. A violation of these provisions can be punished with a fine of up to 2,500 Euro, as well as the exclusion from nursery. The aim of the measures is to reach children nationwide Coverage of 95 percent after the second dose, which is valid for effective community protection as necessary. So far, only two Federal States to achieve this rate, and that only for the start of School. The Standing Committee on vaccination at the Robert Koch-Institute recommends, however, to vaccinate until the end of the second year of life two-fold. That happened in Baden-Württemberg, less than 70 percent of the children. Even to school age less than 90 percent are immunized. Chains of infection can be interrupted. And the measles is not only highly contagious, but also dangerous: A disease damages the immune system, often permanently, the brain can cause inflammation to disability or even death. Infants may only be eleven months, effective vaccinated. In the final debate, the deputies stressed, therefore, without exception, the importance of vaccination for health protection. As an ""act of solidarity"", called Bärbel Bas (SPD), the Vaccination, the Union's Deputy Rudolf Henke called it a ""ethical obligation"". The greens and the Left agreed, however, requested a further strengthening of the public health service. ""In the past few years, a third of the Bodies have been painted in the public health offices - and we are surprised that the vaccination rates drop,"" said Kordula Schulz-ash (Green). A number of members addressed the existing gaps among adults born after 1970. They are the ""main problem"" that will not be addressed by law, but, said Schulz-ash. Although accommodation in the future, vaccination of Measles is also true for adult employees in the childcare and health facilities, as well as for responders and residents of a Refugee.

So in the future to make Physicians of all disciplines vaccinations in all patients. Significantly, it was on Thursday that with the AfD, the Impfskepsis in the Bundestag moved in. The AfD Abgeodnete Detlev Spangenberg claimed that the willingness to Vaccinate in Germany amounts to ""almost 100 percent"", a vaccination is necessary, in addition, there are ""controversial opinions"" about how many doses of the vaccine for protection against measles is needed.

"5111","Measles Outbreak  Measles outbreaks are occurring in a number of European countries including Romania, France, Greece and Italy. To date in 2018, over 41,000 cases and 37 death from measles have been reported in EU countries.  Measles cases continue to occur in Ireland. Since January 2018 there have been over 67 cases of measles diagnosed. We are aware of a number of cases of measles in adults and children in Dublin. The Department of Public Health East have issued the following press release.  Most cases had not had MMR vaccine.  Measles is a highly infectious virus. The main features are fever, cough, red and painful eyes, and a rash. It can cause severe disease resulting in complications such as pneumonia and encephalitis and occasionally death. Although it is most common in young children, it can affect anyone at any age.  Vaccination with MMR vaccine is the only way to protect against measles  Two doses of MMR vaccine are required to give the best protection. In Ireland, the first dose is given at 12 months by GPs and the second dose is given to Junior Infants in school by HSE vaccination teams or by GPs in Donegal, Sligo and Leitrim.  What should young adults and parents do?  Make sure you or your children are up to date with your MMR vaccines.  Please go to your GP for MMR vaccination if:  you have not had 2 doses of MMR vaccine  you have a preschool or primary school child who never had MMR vaccine  you have a primary school child who missed out on the 2nd dose  you are not sure if your child has had 2 doses of MMR vaccine  What about children under 12 months of age?  There is no change to the routine recommendations from the National Immunisation Advisory Committee (NIAC): MMR vaccine is recommended at 12 months and at 4-5 years of age.  However, MMR vaccine is recommended for children aged 6-11 months of age, travelling to other countries or regions where measles outbreaks are reported.  In most cases the MMR vaccine provides protection after 14 days.  The vaccine is available to healthcare professionals to order free of charge through the National Cold Chain Service.  NOTE: If MMR vaccine is given before 12 months of age, this dose is not counted as part of the childhood vaccination programme. MMR vaccine should be repeated at 12 months of age, at least one month after the first vaccine with a further dose at 4 - 5 years of age.  What about children under 6 months of age?  The MMR vaccine is not recommended before the age of 6 months for infants travelling to areas where there is a measles outbreak. The vaccine is not effective if given before 6 months of age.  Travelling abroad?  All individuals travelling to Europe and other regions experiencing measles outbreaks or where measles cases continue to occur should ensure that they receive the MMR vaccine if needed. Visit our hot topic for more information.  What about Health Care Workers?  Health Care Workers (HCWs) in Ireland should have 2 doses of MMR vaccine. Two of the cases in recent outbreaks in Ireland were HCWs.

Guatemala was regarded for 20 years as being free of measles. Now a youth has been reintroduced after a student exchange in Germany, the virus disease in the Central American country. To such cases in the future prevent, the professional Association of child and youth doctors in Germany, the introduction of a General vaccination compulsory against measles for all children. ""Germany must not become an exporter of measles,"" said the Association's President, Thomas Fischbach on Tuesday. ""Because Germany is still not adequately vaccinated, back to the life-threatening measles in Guatemala, where they were actually exterminated."" Measles-Export ""tragic and shameful"" Of this target was Germany, however, far. ""Now, we have exported the measles, even in a country that had achieved, in spite of his poverty, thanks to clever health policy this goal for a long time. This is tragic and shameful,“ said Fischbach. At the same time, the Association criticized the ""irresponsibility of local politicians that refuse to be still a statutory compulsory vaccination"". The measles disease in the 17-Year-old was discovered last week in a private clinic, after the young woman had returned from Germany. ""There is no risk that the patient is on arrival at the airport someone,"" said health Minister Carlos Soto Menegazzo. You've shown at this time no symptoms and was therefore contagious. All of the students and teachers of the school, the staff of the hospital, as well as the relatives and neighbours of the patient were vaccinated. Measles can be life-threatening are Still people in Germany contract every year to measles. Photo: dpa infographic GmbH / dpa-infographic In Germany, has registered the Robert-Koch-Institute (RKI) in the past year, almost 1000 measles cases, nearly three times as much as in the previous year. Measles are an infectious disease and lead to high fever, skin rash and cough. In rare cases, it can lead to life-threatening complications. The vaccination of child and youth doctors around according to the Association, there is no way, Appeals from ranged to voluntary vaccinations. ""The unvaccinated children are not only exposed to itself the life-threatening measles, you endanger other people, for example, infants and small children, who could not be vaccinated, but also unvaccinated adolescents and adults,"" emphasized Fischbach. Vaccinated all the small children before they go to a day-care centre should be according to the doctors Association. Two vaccination before the second birthday, The Standing Committee on vaccination (STIKO) at the RKI in Berlin, recommends that in children two vaccinations prior to second birthday, and the first between the 11. and 14. Month of life and the second between the 15. 23. Month life. Earlier vaccination is possible and useful, for example, if the child comes well before the first birthday in the nursery. In front of the 9. Month of life should not be vaccinated children but in General. In Germany, the vaccination with the so-called MMR-combination fabric that protects except measles, also Mumps and rubella. The second vaccination is also a simultaneous vaccination against Varicella is then with the MMRV vaccine, which is recommended for the same age. Basically, the STIKO advises to combine different vaccines and to reduce their total number, thus, – and thus the risk of side effects. Which adults should get vaccinated anyone Who was born after the year 1970, and only once or not vaccinated against measles should be for safety's sake, vaccinate with the MMR vaccine. This also applies to adults who do not know their vaccination status accurately. Up to and including the 1970-Born were in the majority of cases, however, measles is ill, and are then protected. Anyone who has this knows exactly and Patients in a professional or private contact, you should have the vaccination as a precaution to catch up on. About ten days after vaccination, the so-called Impfmasern can occur, possibly in combination with a fever. Contagious they are not. (dpa/epd/cho)",2194,"germany"
"3513","With regard to the measles, Germany has missed its target. Since 2015, the pathogen should be eradicated, so it was agreed with the world health organization. The reality, however, had other plans. Ironically, in 2015, Germany experienced the largest outbreak in the past ten years, in Berlin alone more than a thousand people ill. Alone to the refugees, it was not, by the way. Also this year, the highly contagious infected the Virus already hundreds. So that must now be brought to an end. A vaccination is supposed to fix it, enshrined in law, fines for unruly parents and daycare exclusion included. Finally, you might think. The only catch is: The plans will pass on the actual Problem. Opponents: it is only loud, not a lot of Yes, there are opponents in Germany. People, the conspiracy theories of attachments and their children deprived of a potentially life-saving syringe. However, they constitute only a tiny, albeit very loud group. This is the vaccination rates of School clearly show. The Robert Koch Institute estimated that in 2017 achieved nationwide 97.1 percent of the children at the time of their Enrolment to the first measles vaccination. This rate is enough to have the measles in Germany to exterminate, completely without obligation. A prerequisite would be that all of the 97 percent received the second measles vaccination. And here lies the Problem, because so far under this follow-up remained vaccinations too often. To change this, are vaccination campaigns in schools, the better way. A legal obligation only increases the risk that opponents get a boost. Surveys from Europe show that the scepticism of the syringe in countries where vaccination is particularly large, a higher vaccination Coverage is not achieved. Also, Minister of health, Jens Spahn must ask whether fines from € 2500 to parents of education can change the minds of children, full of Conviction act. Hardly, if you can afford it. Radical opponents can not force. Are you looking for the loopholes and draw the other. Young adults: overlooked the main problem in addition, the proposed duty is an important group ignored: Almost half of the Patients in 2018 were young adults. ""This indicates the large gaps in these age groups,"" said Lothar Wieler, President of the Robert Koch Institute and called for an official government recommendation, to the memory of: All Born in 1970, and should not be to 'catch up' measles vaccination, if you know your vaccination status or vaccination with no or only a vaccination is indicated. Ever heard of that? No? Just. For many people, measles is still a childhood disease, you may feel the debate is not addressed. Here education would help, the cover Letter of the health insurance funds and invitations, the certificate of vaccination with a doctor to go through. Only when adults are enlightened, when all the children have easy access to vaccines in schools and also the result is nothing, should be a vaccination the last resort. Until then, it runs especially risk, to encourage a small group, which is already too much belonging to the opponents. Because you, obviously, will be the new regulation even louder.

Large mammals (seals, sea lions, sea lions) in particular are among the animals that are suffering the effects of climate change, and often in an unpredictable way: a recent study by the University of California, Davis, for example, has shown how the rise in temperatures is directly linked to the epidemic of measles of seals in the north Pacific.

Waiting for the obligatory vaccination for the children who attend, or have to subscribe to the nursery and to nursery schools from Livorno to Florence and from Grosseto to Carrara are well 283 people who have contracted the disease. This is the given – up-to-date to the 21st of may – provided the superior Institute of Health. Numbers troubling – and impressive when compared to just 26 cases over the last year – which saw in the hospitals one of the major sites of infection: at least 45 between the operators and employees of health-care companies, in fact, have taken the measles in the departments. Nineteen structures in the province of Pisa (of which 17 are in Cisanello), 16 in the Usl Tuscan Centre, four-Mass, three in Lucca, two in Livorno and the Versilia. Read also Measles, increased almost 600 percent from the beginning of 2017. Rome and Turin are the provinces most affected THE NUMBERS as a whole the scenario is even more worrying. In the province of Florence, from the first of January to the 21st of may, were reported 91 cases of measles (sixth place in Italy, in Lucca, 77 and in Pisa 58. Follow the provinces of Pistoia (19), Massa Carrara (18), Livorno (12), Meadow (4), Arezzo (2), and Grosseto, and Siena (one of each). Throughout Italy, however, the epidemic has affected 2.581 persons, including 585 in the province of Rome, 528 to Turin, 177 in Milan and 104 to Chieti. The increase, compared to the same period of last year, is of 611%. Decidedly high. As high as the increase in Tuscany, especially if you compare it - perhaps paradoxically - the contagion of the overall 2016 (26 cases) with the cases registered in the year 2017 only, between January and 21 may (283). By comparing these two figures (not quite homogeneous), the spike touches the 990%. The REASONS, According to the regional councilor for Health, Stefania Saccardi, and professor Francesco Menichetti – the director of the department of infectious Diseases at the hospital Cisanello – the reasons for this attack on the public health are manifold. ""The level of vaccination has dropped a lot, abundantly below the warning threshold of 95%,"" explains the primary – and perhaps in 2016 even under the 85%"". The official figures, that 2015, the talk is 88.7%, which is much less compared to five years ago (in 2012 the average was 91,1%). ""Other reasons can be the population density and the fact that not all health workers are vaccinated, ""concludes Menichetti – what I hope to do it soon"". Another reason not to be underestimated – says the councilor Saccardi – is that ""Tuscany is one of the regions in Italy where the movement ""no vax"" is stronger"". Groups of people – according to Menichetti – moves ""from the wrong impression, given that measles gives an encephalitis, and severe in every 1,000 cases of the disease, while its antidote in one in a million. We dance three zeros: the science tells us"". ""TAKE ONLY DOCTORS VACCINATED"" Only health-care personnel vaccinated. It is the clause which will include in the next regional competitions of the department of Health Saccardi. ""Anyone can take part to the selections,"" explains the former vicesindaca of Florence – but not having vaccinated will be a restraint to the next intake. I spoke with the minister Lorenzin and I asked her, in the conversion into law of decree, to insert this clause. You have to force doctors and nurses to become immune, especially if they work in the departments most sensitive"". And for those who have been already hired as an will be able to intervene in the Region? At the time, the weapons are a bit ticked off. ""Can intervene only responsible for the safety at work of every single department or of the hospital – ends Saccardi – and I hope that this will be done in all the facilities.

"9817","THE World Health Organisation has warned of a measles outbreak sweeping through Europe.  The large-scale outbreaks are happening in countries where immunisation rates have dropped, the agency said.  3 Seven countries, where vaccination rates are low, have had the worst outbreaks in Europe  Measles is highly contagious disease that can be prevented by having the vaccination, offered by the NHS as a single measles, mumps and rubella jab.  In two-thirds of European countries, enough kids have had the jab to help prevent outbreaks.  But in 14 parts of the continent, vaccination rates are still falling behind the recommended 95 per cent immunisation threshold.  Of the 559 measles cases reported in January, 474 were recorded in seven of those 14 countries - France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Romania, Switzerland and Ukraine.  Early information for February indicates new infections are continuing to rise sharply, the WHO warned.  Dr Zsuzsanna Jakab, the WHO's regional director for Europe, said: ""With steady progress towards elimination over the past two years, it is of particular concern that measles cases are climbing in Europe.

""Together we must make sure that the hard-earned progress made towards regional elimination is not lost.""  Measles is a highly infectious viral illness that can be very unpleasant and sometimes lead to serious complications.  It's now uncommon in the UK because of high vaccination rates.  WHY COULD YOU BE AT RISK? FOR the majority of people in the UK, measles does not pose a risk. That's because most people will be immunised against the disease, having been given the vaccine as a child. But, there remain some people who are not protected. There has been some controversy about whether the MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) jab - included as part of the NHS childhood immunisation programme - might cause autism. The controversy led to some parents refusing to have their babies vaccinated. Doubts were raised following a 1998 study by Dr Andrew Wakefield. In his paper, published in The Lancet journal, he warned of a link between the combined jab and autism or bowel disease. But, his work has since been discredited, and he was struck off as a doctor in the UK. More recent studies have found no link between the jab and autism or bowel disease.

Anyone can get measles if they haven't already had it, but it is more common in young children.  It starts with cold like symptoms before a rash develops a few days later.  The rash looks like small, red-brown blotches and can make a person feel very unwell.  WHAT IS MEASLES? Measles is a highly infectious viral illness that can be very unpleasant and sometimes lead to serious complications. It's now uncommon in the UK because of the effectiveness of vaccination. Anyone can get measles if they haven't been vaccinated or they haven't had it before. It usually clears in 7 to 10 days but can lead to other serious complications. Symptoms: Initial symptoms include: cold-like symptoms like runny nose, sneezing and a cough  sore, red eyes  fever  small grey-white spots on the inside of the cheeks  aches and pains A few days later a red-brown, blotchy rash will appear, usually beginning on the head or upper neck before spreading. You'll most likely feel most ill the first few days the rash appears. Complications: About one in every 5,000 people will die from measles. Complications are more likely to develop in: babies younger than a year old  children with a poor diet  children with a weakened immune system The most common complications include diarrhoea and vomiting, ear infections, eye infection, pneumonia and bronchitis. But measles can also lead to other complications, although these are rare: hepatitis  brain infections  eye problems and vision loss  heart and nervous system problems  miscarriage or still birth  premature birth  low birth weight Treatment: There is no specific treatment. Your GP will probably suggest resting at home and waiting for it to clear. You can ease your symptoms with pain killers, but always speak to your GP first. You can avoid measles by getting vaccinated. One dose of vaccine can be given to a baby when they are 12-13 months old and a second before they start school. Countries where vaccination levels are higher have less chance of the disease spreading. Source: NHS Choices  Severe complications can occur, including miscarriage in pregnant women, brain swelling and the risk of death from pneumonia.  The virus is spread through coughing and sneezing and through close contact with infected individuals.  Currently, the biggest outbreaks are in Romania and Italy.  Since January last year, Romania has recorded 1995 cases and 17 deaths, with the majority of cases caught where immunisation levels are incredibly low.  Measles cases in Italy spiked earlier this year with the country reporting 238 cases in January.  The same rate is expected to be recorded for February.  The country had a total of 850 measles cases in 2016.  The WHO warned that measles is still regularly found in certain areas of the world and it can spread to any country, including those that have eliminated the disease.  3 WHO is urging all countries to achieve the 95 per cent vaccination rate to prevent the spread of disease Credit: Getty Images  Every un-immunised person, regardless of their age, is at risk of contracting the disease, especially in countries with low immunisation rates.  WHO said it was working with national health authorities to implement a plan on how to contain the spread of measles, and urged authorities to achieve at least 95 per cent immunisation coverage to prevent circulation.  Dr Mary Ramsay, head of immunisation at Public Health England, said: ""England’s uptake of measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine by five years of age has reached the WHO’s target of 95 per cent.  ""Measles is now relatively uncommon in England thanks to the MMR vaccine and in the last year, the measles cases confirmed in England have mainly been in older adolescents and young adults with many linked to music festivals and other large public events.""  She advised anyone who experiences symptoms of measles to visit their GP, but stressed it is important to call ahead to prevent others from being infected.  She added: ""Individuals of any age who have not received two doses of the MMR vaccine, or those who are unsure, should speak to their GP - it’s never too late to have the vaccine and measles can still be serious in adults.""  England often has a low rate of measles throughout the country due to high vaccination rates, which prevents the spread of the disease.  The measles, mumps and rubella vaccination is given as part of the routine NHS childhood vaccination programme.  One dose is usually given to a child when they're 12-13 months old and a second dose is given before they start school, usually between three and five years old.  You or your child can be vaccinated at any point if you haven't been fully vaccinated before.  If you're not sure whether you were vaccinated in the past, having the vaccine again won't cause any harm, says the NHS.  We pay for your stories! Do you have a story for The Sun Online news team?

As part of such an extraordinary measure, announced by the Mayor in a press release, the people unvaccinated against the disease in the neighborhood of Williamsburg -where is concentrated the largest jewish population in the city - will have to get immunized with the inoculation against measles to ""protect the rest of the community and to help reduce the epidemic."" The injections will be mandatory and members of the Department of Health and Mental Health will be reviewing immunization records of any individual that has been in contact with infected patients. All the people that have been exposed to measles should be vaccinated, under penalty of a fine of 1,000 dollars (about 887 euros). Nurses expect patients in Rockland. AFP The decision comes a day after the Department threatened to close some of the ""Yeshivas"" (jewish schools) or sanction them if they admit to children that they are not protected against this disease.

Lauterbach emphasized that his party advocate within the coalition for vaccination for children should be limited, however, to measles. Pressure in this direction also comes from the liberals. ""The FDP is in favour of a statutory compulsory vaccination for children up to 14 years"", - said the Deputy Chairman of the FDP parliamentary group, Michael Theurer, the RND.

So far in 2018 there have been 56 confirmed and 24 probable cases in the city compared with just one during the same period last year.  There were 643 confirmed cases of measles across England in the first six months of the year, compared with just 267 in the whole of last year.  Health officials say it is part of a rise across Europe.  Dr Vanessa Saliba, a consultant epidemiologist from Public Health England, said there had been a rise in cases across Europe:  She said: ""There has been, just this year, thousands of cases in countries like Romania, France, Italy and Greece.  ""People travel all over and bring measles back with them and so the cases that we're seeing are very much in young people and adults over the age of 15 who've missed out on their MMR vaccine when they were younger.  ""So we're getting cases brought back from Europe and then with some limited spread in the community.""  In February the World Health Organisation announced Europe had seen a big surge in measles cases in 2017,  Cases increased four-fold, with more than 20,000 people affected and 35 deaths.

"572","Measles is back in Europe, the fault of the oversights of the vaccine, but also the parents who refuse to vaccinate their child. The numbers are relentless. In 2018, it has already identified 41.000 cases of measles in Europe, of which 37 were fatal. In Belgium, there have been only 19 cases this year, but that does not mean that one does not risk the outbreak. In fact, the disease is highly contagious, especially during the first 3 to 5 days prior to the appearance of pimples, when the patient knows not yet that it is contaminated. ""Patients contaminate the air that surrounds it, that is to say, they do not contaminate any farther than a meter or two and that the environment is still contaminated in the hours especially if it is not ventilated?"", explains Christelle Meuris, infectiologist hygienist at the university hospital of Liege, at the microphone of our reporters Vincent Jamoulle and Julien Raway. Parents forget or refuse to vaccinate their child, sometimes with doctors complicit in The problem, is that despite the fact that the measles vaccination is strongly recommended in Belgium (and non-binding, as shown previously by mistake), some don't want to hear about it. Normally, the triple vaccine of measles, rubella, mumps must be administered on two occasions to be effective. A first injection at 12 months and then a booster shot at 11-12 years of age. But some people forget : ""as Far as it knows about the latest studies that have been made in Belgium, as 95% of children one year of age receive their first dose of vaccine, the second dose is often missed, so it falls to 75% vaccine coverage. Which in turn allows the virus to spread within the population"", explains the infectious diseases physician. It is necessary to add to these oversights, the children who are not vaccinated on principle, because the parents have decided, sometimes with the complicity of doctors who are accepting false certificates. A death on 1000 it is difficult to assess the number of people likely to develop measles, it is known, however, what happens to those that are contaminated. ""There are 20 to 30% of hospitalizations and in the latter, it was sometimes up to 50% of pulmonary complications, and a few percentage of neurological complications, therefore, this is not an infection to be banal."" The mortality rate is 1 in 1000, and measles can catch it at any age from birth. Infants under one year are particularly vulnerable to this disease in the presence of persons who are not vaccinated.",2091,"belgium"

He bounced back a week later and went on to be a funny, cheeky boy who loved dancing, Tom and Jerry, Arsenal FC and was top of his class at school.  But just six years later he died of subacute scleroisng pan-encephalitis (SSPE), which is caused by dormant antibodies left behind by the measles virus which can attack healthy brain cells at any time.

The Sharepic is a nice example of how quickly the facts, with out-of-opinions are mixed. While the Figures are correct, the conclusion is completely wrong. We throw just a small look at the statistics from the Robert Koch-Instiutes! In the year 2001, the vaccination Coverage against measles and rubella in the 4 to 7-Year-old was only 25.9 percent in 2016 at 92.9 percent. In comparison, in 2001, there were 6.039 measles-diseases that 2016 is only 325. In between, it always came back to local outbreaks, making the Pay for a year up fast, but the tendency is still falling. The overall vaccination coverage against measles in Germany is only 73.9 percent, according to the Federal Ministry of health, more than 95 percent would be necessary to measles outbreaks prevent. The highest vaccination Coverage has Hamburg with 80.5 percent, the lowest in Saxony with 24.9 percent. To answer the question in the heading: Yes, from the above-stated reasons, are measles vaccines required! Just because the Coverage is increasing, especially in children, the most vulnerable, continue to, there are so little disease. Thus, there is continue to becoming less and less diseases, need to be maintained vaccination Coverage levels for so long at a high level until the measles apply permanently eradicated. - Advertising - conclusion The Numbers are correct, the conclusion is wrong: Just because there is a relatively high vaccination Coverage against measles, there are so few diseases, and only 15 deaths from 2001 to 2012. Since 73.9 per cent is too low a rate to prevent the disease permanently in Germany (particularly adults and older people believe that they could get no measles), will be discussed on a measles vaccination. A vaccination, which would not be at all necessary, if various sources would not spread unnecessary Fears and conspiracy panics about vaccinations.

Vaccination should, if necessary, fines and Kita-exclusion to be enforced, according to a report by the Bild am Sonntag. The CDU-politician submitted to the newspaper, according to its draft law. The vaccination is missing, threaten, therefore, fines of up to 2,500 Euro and an exclusion from daycare for a visit. The bill is currently being voted on in the government. He expected this year with a decision of the Bundestag, said Spahn. The Federal government wants, in the fight against measles Coverage of at least 95 percent. For a Long time experts and health policy demand a nationwide vaccination against the infectious disease. According to the Robert Koch-Institute, 93 percent of the children in Germany are already against measles through vaccination. However, Spahn is holding a vaccination is essential. In order to eradicate the disease in Germany, would have to have at least 95 percent of two measles vaccinations. This quota was not reached in spite of many campaigns in the past. The vaccinations will in the future be the same for all Doctors, except dentists possible. Also, the public health service should play a stronger role, and can offer vaccinations at schools and daycare centers. In the Brandenburg state Parliament had announced in April Left, the CDU and the SPD, a vaccination in day-care centres, to introduce, to a Covenant is found wide regulation.

In Europe, the procedure is as compassionate use is known. What this means, if medicines are to be pressed quickly on the market, was only in the last year. Because the FDA refused after three deaths on a thorough examination of an experimental treatment against blood cancer. The result: Two more young men died. In wise foresight, the FDA published in January a study of 22 active substances which have not made it to an impact study, for various reasons, up to the time of admission.

Since it is a free-to-air, it is sufficient that any one who is mässlingssjuk cough or sneeze, to even have to stay in for a hit, unless it has been vaccinated. Since the early 1970s, are part of the vaccine against the measles vaccine in the general vaccination programme in Sweden. As a whole, the vaccinationsgraden in Sweden is good. It is located at 97 per cent. However, there are pockets where this is different. More and more non-vaccinated at Järvafältet, One example is the north-west of Stockholm, where the vaccinationsgraden is lower than in other parts of the city. At least eleven people in the area have been infected with measles this year, many of them children. The myths that the vaccine will lead to autism has grown considerably, especially among the somalis. Therefore, Folkhälsomyndigheten produced a film in which a female somali doctor to tell us how measles works, and why a vaccine is needed.

Earlier this year, had a woman whose child had the measles, other parents might be able to come by and the infection of their child. It's called macabre enough, ”mässlingsparty”. Those who refuse to vaccinate their children, may very well not think of it as a personal choice or an expression of a certain philosophy of life. However, their actions can have dire, even fatal, consequences for the other residents in the same areas. People who have compromised immune systems and young children are particularly vulnerable to infection. There has been a serious mässlingsutbrott in a number of european countries over the past few years. Therefore, the rules have been tightened, in some areas, the constraint has to be introduced. After that, several hundred people have been infected in Italy, and it is now mandatory for parents to vaccinate their children, otherwise, it's fine as a case. Also, should there be any sort of consequences for those who are putting others in danger by nobba of the vaccine.

The idea is to protect those children who cannot be vaccinated for medical reasons. It is a possible solution, even though it's not likely to be comprehensive.

City health officials blasted parents after they were found encouraging their un-vaccinated kids to get the virus from each other in Brooklyn, New York.  4 Some 285 cases of measles have been confirmed in New York since October Credit: Getty - Contributor  4 Anti-vaxxer parents in New York have been found to host parties in hopes their un-vaccinated children get infected with measles (stock image) Credit: Getty - Contributor  The movement against the MMR vaccine, which protects against measles, mumps and rubella, is largely thought to stem from the work of Andrew Wakefield.  The now discredited UK doctor penned a damning research paper claiming a link between the MMR vaccine, autism and bowel disease.  The study was retracted in 2010 but the paper has had a lasting influence with the ""anti-vaxxer"" movement particularly taking off in America.  And the movement has sparked concern amid the current measles outbreak in New York – the largest the city has seen since 1991.  It is believed misguided parents are hosting ""measles parties"", encouraging their young, un-vaccinated children to spread measles with the idea that once a child has contracted it, they will be immune.  The ""parties"" are similar to ""pox-parties"" where kids were encouraged to contract chickenpox from each other.  These were popular before the introduction of the varicella vaccine in 1955.  It is now widely recognised by health officials that vaccinating a child is far safer than deliberately infecting them.  MEASLES OUTBREAK  The measles virus is highly contagious and in some cases can lead to death.  The city’s health commissioner said she was ""particularly concerned"" about these parties and urged parents to get the MMR vaccine for their children.  She said: “I understand that parents may be afraid of getting their children vaccinated.  “I know that getting vaccinated is far safer than getting measles.”  According to the NHS, the MMR vaccine is “a safe and effective combined vaccine that protects against 3 separate illnesses – measles, mumps and rubella (German measles) – in a single injection.  ""The full course of MMR vaccination requires 2 doses.  “Measles, mumps and rubella are highly infectious conditions that can have serious, potentially fatal complications, including meningitis, swelling of the brain (encephalitis) and deafness.”  DEADLY SYMPTOMS  A person infected with measles can experience ""cold-like"" symptoms, according to the NHS.  Initial symptoms can include: “a runny or blocked nose, sneezing, watery eyes, sore, red eyes that are sensitive to light, a high temperature (fever), which may reach around 40C (104F), small greyish-white spots in the mouth, aches and pains, a cough, loss of appetite, tiredness, irritability and a general lack of energy.”  These symptoms are then followed by the measles rash - the illness can last up to ten days and can result in hospitalisation or even death, according to the NHS.  Some 285 cases of the once virtually-eradicated disease have been confirmed in New York since October compared to just two in 2017.  The epidemic is mostly confined to the Orthodox Jewish Community in Brooklyn’s Williamsburg neighbourhood.  Bill de Blasio, New York City’s mayor, has declared the measles epidemic a public health emergency.  He said yesterday: “This is the epicentre of a measles outbreak that is very, very troubling and must be dealt with immediately.”  Of the 285 New Yorkers afflicted by the virus 246 of them are children and the majority of the cases are contained within the city’s tight-knit Orthodox Jewish community, according to Bloomberg.  Worryingly, New York isn’t alone in its measles outbreak – the BBC reports more than 41,000 people in Europe were infected with the measles virus in the first sixth months of 2018.

"23100","For the first time since the Regional Commission for the Verification of Elimination of Measles and Rubella (RVC, its acronym in English) of the World Health Organization (WHO) has begun to work in Europe, and in 2012, four countries — the United Kingdom, spain, Greece, Albania, and the Czech Republic — they have lost the status of the elimination of measles. The loss of status means that, in the year 2018, the countries have not been able to keep track of the time (have a one year old) and the appearance of new outbreaks. The findings from the RVC have been published today. In a statement sent to newsrooms, the world health organization warns that Europe is losing ground in its efforts for the elimination of measles”. This evaluation was carried out using the data from the year 2018. The scenario is even worse in 2019. Only in the first half of the year, it has already been reported in an estimated 90,000 cases of measles in the 53 countries of the WHO european region. More than the total recorded in the year 2018 during the year (84.462). At the global level, the situation is not any better. In the first half of the year have already been registered around 364.000-cases-of-measles-in every region of the world health organization. “This is the value of the world's highest (for the same period last year. and now in 2006,” he said at the press conference, Kate O'brien, the director of the department of immunization and vaccines the world health organization.The person responsible ensures that “we will continue to see an increase in the not to take actions that are significant”. The increase In the case of those countries which have lost their status as the elimination of polio, O'brien says, “they have roofs vaccine is extremely high, and it was for this reason that it have managed to achieve a deletion in the first place.” However, it throws the warning: “it is Not enough to get and hold a large immunization coverage at the national level and in a scenario where imports are [the cases of measles that are] happening”, as shown by the example of these countries. Of the 53 countries surveyed, there are 35 who hold, or have earned (in the case of Switzerland and Austria), and the status of the elimination of measles in Portugal, is one of them. There are 12 countries where the disease is endemic. Already in Belgium, and Kazakhstan, have stopped the transmission of measles for more than 12 and 24 months, respectively. “The re-emergence of the transmission of measles [in 2018], is cause for concern. If high vaccination coverage is not achieved and maintained in all communities, for both children and adults alike suffer from the unnecessary, and, sadly, some will die,” she warns in a press release Günter Pfaff, chair of the RVC. The evaluation of the review committee of the WHO consists of a panel of independent experts who meet annually to assess the status of the elimination of measles in Europe, taking into account reports relating to the year 2018 that are submitted by each country. The commission shall evaluate the data of monitoring of measles vaccine coverage, outbreak response, and the range of campaigns, supplementary immunization, and other activities. The increase in Portugal is a warning of The seriousness of the situation has led the WHO to declare it an emergency level-2 infection in Europe. Graça Freitas deputy director-general of Health, said that the situation is “extraordinary”. The coordinator explained that this is the level of alert to help with the “WHO to mobilize technical, human and financial resources — that is, a mechanism that is built into the organization”, but very unusual in Europe. “We do not have infectious diseases of this magnitude.” In the Uk the situation is less encouraging: in the first half of the year accounted for 10 cases. In 2018, was 171. In addition to this, Portugal has the status of the elimination of measles from 2015, and, in spite of the outbreaks are sporadic, since the beginning of the year 2000, the number of new cases is limited. But there are risks involved. “Even in countries such as the Uk which do not have movement that is endemic to the virus, and that they have [coverage of] the vaccination is so high that there are no conditions for the virus to become endemic, it can always be outbreaks,” says Grace Stevens. “This is a matter of concern.” To the head of the Directorate-General for Health (DGS), “the responsiveness is very important. In particular, “the speed with which we have detected for the cases, and that we take steps to ensure it does not continue” — the last few outbreaks have been resolved in less than two months ago, said Grace Stevens. “What has happened in some countries, it is the starting of a small outbreak of them have not been contained when they are relatively small, but have expanded and become large outbreaks, and epidemics.” To the best of the general Public in the e-mail Sign up for a free newsletter, and get the best out of the present, and the more profound the general Public. Subscribe to x Increase, and The fact that the Uk has close proximity to the United Kingdom and the Czech Republic, two countries where the situation has gotten worse, “increasing the risk”. On the other hand, Switzerland has taken important measures, and came to acquire the status of the disposal. “It's a good thing, because we have a great connection, that of the emigrants to Switzerland”, says the director-general of Health. And what is it that keeps you in control of the disease in Europe, where there is a proliferation of new roads. “With a lot of hard work, trust and confidence in the people, and a lot of advocacy and communication in favour of vaccination,” said the head of the DGS. “You've really got to work a lot. It is a very contagious disease, and there's always a small community, and small groups that don't vaccinate.”",2012,"portugal"
"3520","In the past year, more than 140,000 people died of the consequences of a measles infection, nearly 9.8 million are ill. The estimate of the world health organization (WHO) and the US health authority CDC. The viruses therefore remain a global danger. In comparison to 2017, the Numbers increased slightly. At the time, the WHO from 124,000 death was cases and 7.6 million infections. Most children under the age of five are at risk of the current according to the data. This is also due to the fact that babies and toddlers have the highest risk for the disease. Measles can lead to life-threatening complications such as pulmonary inflammation and the brain dangerous swell. Even years after the infection, the risk of brain inflammation, which occurs very rare, but always fatal, is. In 2016, for example, was died in Hesse, a six-year-old, who had been infected shortly after birth with the measles. Ukraine affected extremely strong, ""The fact that any child dies of a disease that could be like the measles by a vaccine to prevent is, frankly, a scandal,"" said Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director of the WHO. ""In order to protect life, we need to make sure that each profitieret from the Use of vaccinations."" Most of the deaths there were, according to the report, in areas where access to vaccines is limited. Alone in the Democratic Republic of Congo this year came to more than 5000 people in a measles epidemic claimed the lives of. Among the five most affected countries, Liberia, Somalia, Madagascar and the Ukraine as well. The report also shows that the access to vaccines, outbreaks can not be prevented. The United States reported to 2018, so for the last 25 years. In Europe four countries have lost their Status as a ""measles-free"": Albania, the Czech Republic, Greece and the UK. In Germany, the Robert Koch Institute according to 2018 were reported more than 600 measles cases. This was less than in 2017, at that time, more than 1000 people ill. Actually, had obliged Germany, however, the measles by 2015, to eradicate. Vaccination rates have been stagnating for almost a decade, Although in existence for more than 50 years of vaccination, which protects against measles. According to the WHO, the vaccination rates are stagnant, however, for almost a decade. It is estimated that around 86 percent of the children were given the 2018 world the first dose of the vaccination. For safe protection, two syringes are necessary, however, these were less than 70 percent. Measles is among the most contagious pathogens at all. The viruses contain, must be vaccinated according to the WHO, a minimum of 95 percent of the population - both doses of the vaccine have received. In Germany, only 93 percent of the children were in school entrance examinations in 2017, twice vaccinated. Nine percent were not included in the statistics in the first place, because your Vaccination card was missing. According to the calculations of the Barmer health insurance, the vaccination Coverage in Germany is even below 90 percent. In order to increase the Numbers adopted by the Bundestag is a vaccination for daycare children, which occurs in March 2020. How vaccination can protect the long-term, global Trend. He is much more positive than the short-term view: 2000 infected still 23 million people with measles, more than twice as many as today. Also, the number of deaths exceeded a half million.",2004,"germany"
"75103","The infectious diseases picked up alarmingly. The lack of access to vaccination and movements that reject this practice make it impossible to achieve the goal of the WHO to eliminate it in two years. Advertising The World Health Organization (WHO) has made it clear: the measles is a serious problem in Europe, but above poses a danger to the rest of the world, because the old continent has now become the main exporter of the virus to the rest of the planet. The figures say it all: more than 5,000 cases in 2016 to exceed the 15,000 in 2017, and what should we expect in 2018? The European Centre for Disease Control (ECDC, for its acronym in English) echoes the alarm of WHO, and urged the taking of measures. So, the experts warn that the problem is two-fold: ""While in Romania we would speak of a problem of access to vaccination due to population in situation of social exclusion, in countries such as Italy, Greece or Germany, it is a problem of absence due to movements antivacunas. Because in some of them, like Italy, have come to send messages ambigüos about its effectiveness as the Movement 5 Stars of Beppe Grillo. It's a bad idea to politicize medicine"", underlines Amos Garcia Rojas, president of the Spanish Association of Vacunología (AEV). The impact of vaccination in the prevention of illness in a few decades has shown a great impact. The measles caused approximately 2.6 million deaths each year, before widespread vaccination, which was launched in 1980. Thanks to the measles vaccine, Maurice Hilleman, this highly contagious disease is now preventable. WHO data show that Italy is located in the top of incidence, in the sixth position, in the last six months. ""The vaccination rates have declined in many european countries and that is why the disease has once again resurfaced. Is directly related,"" says Bethlehem Aguirrezabalaga, a pediatrician from Gijón and is responsible for the vaccine group of the Spanish Society of Pediatric Extrahospitalaria and Primary Care (Sepeap). As argued by García Amos, ""the worst side effect of a vaccine is not put"", and ""apology"" to those parents who do not do so for ""lack of information, I think. If you have any doubts you must clear them, but we cannot put in doubt the effectiveness of vaccines: they are only between 1-2% –in Spain– Healthcare expenditure, and there are to mention the savings in illnesses that prevent. We can't let the ""fashion"" of the pseudo-magic and esotericism remove the reason to Science and Medicine"". In this, the president of the AEV is shown emphatically: ""What will be the next thing to drink unpasteurized milk? All of this is without reason"". Advertising Perhaps the problem is that vaccines are fighting against invisible enemies, now disappeared from the ""fields of combat"" thanks to them, and the effect of ""shield"" they provide to the population when the coverage exceeded 95%. But, the movements antivacunas in Europe have caused a hole in the defenses. This week, ""The British Medical Journal,"" echoed the polemic intervention of one of the greatest speakers of Italian of this type of movements, such as Vincenzo D'anna, in a forum about biology. To address this problem, the Italian prime minister, Paolo Gentiloni, imposed the mandatory vaccination of 12 diseases in the schools, in mid-2017, to observe whether the increase of cases three times higher than the previous year. Find it disturbing that ""the developing countries suspiren by inoculations to clear epidemics and gain health for its citizens,"" assures Garcia Rojas, and find parents who would prefer to jail before your child is vaccinated, as I collected some months ago, ""The Washington Post"". In addition, as underlined by the president of the ESMA, ""we should not mix never the politics with these issues, it is not beneficial for anyone."" In the united STATES, Donald Trump has also questioned the use of ""mass"" of the vaccination, which strengthens this type of movements. Advertising For it in Europe, governments have taken action in the matter, and countries such as Italy or Germany have already established a strict vaccination policy through legislation in under 6 years school-age and sanctions to parents who fail to carry out",2003,"spain"
"4812","Big question, who infection lost yet: this disease is the appearance of symptoms in the days before infection. Defeated thought disease came back again, this time not on the Romanian border, but Hungary is in the heart of. Exclusive news that the Hungarian media in the first time the novak hunor.en-n you can read! Measles protection for a combination vaccination (MMR vaccine) in our country, compulsory, 15 months old are vaccinated the children, and 11 years of age are given a second vaccination. In the capital for a very long time there was no measles: now a 14-month-old, because of his age not yet vaccinated Hungarian girl is infected, he is currently one of the major budapest hospital – I know that dr. Kulcsár Andrea infektológia, vaccination expert confirmed it to me. The girl 100%, that measles, this laboratory studies have demonstrated. All we know is that the infection is almost certainly, in Budapest, he got away, probably so – probably asymptomatic people infected with the surrounding countries they went to, and from there was carried into the infection. Measles is brutally infectious, The affected child doesn't get infected, but the main problem is that we don't know how many people you could have picked up from him so far. Measles is one of the most virulent diseases, according to the statistics, until one dreaded ebola disease an average of 2 other people infected, while a measles patient 11-18 other people sick. Measles is 90% likely to get ill and the susceptible individual, from person to person and airborne: if the sick one is coughing in the air the virus for up to two hours of life can remain the world's leading medical journal says. The measles incubation period of 6-19 days, i.e. the infection after and that's when the symptoms, which are pretty meaningless, influenza also believe: fever, malaise, loss of appetite, cough, eye kötőhártyájának inflammation and body-wide rash characteristics. The measles patient is the appearance of the rash, before five days I infection the appearance of the rash after the fourth day. The measles patient is now isolation is recommended. For the record: I asked dr. Kulcsár Andrea infektológia, and our country is one of the leading vaccination expert with The measles is notoriously one of the most spreading infectious disease. What are the dangers? dr. Kulcsár Andrea: The main problem is that the measles is the appearance of symptoms in the days before I infection, i.e. perfectly healthy people may spread the disease. Measles is a dangerous disease, it can cause: pneumonia, bacterial superinfection-sepsis occur less frequently, encephalitis can result in we Need to keep a greater plague in hungary, in Budapest, in danger are the kids? dr. Kulcsár Andrea: Who is 15 months old vaccinated, the more then two weeks already developing the immunity. In our country the mandatory vaccination system, thanks to 98% of the oltottság, so the so-called nyájvédelemnek thanks to you don't have to keep an epidemic from. However, if you decline the measles have been vaccinated number of sporadic outbreaks, hot spots may develop, for example, in places where, for example, 1-1 ""vaccination against the"" family doctor around compression of these patients. In our country two vaccination is against measles, 15 months and 11 years old, but in those countries where the epidemiological situation is different, the incidence of measles disease in the two vaccination closer to each other that the immunity of the nyájimmunitás without insurance. Dr. Kulcsár Andrea is Worth the 15 months of age given measles vaccination up to? When you be given this vaccination at the earliest? dr. Kulcsár Andrea: very early 9 months of age should be vaccinated in infants, however, this is when the immunity passes, so 15 months and 11 years old, do you still need another MMR-vaccination. Since about 12 months of age the immune response with the formation of the birth of the baby made a mother's antibodies don't interfere, therefore, a more complete immune response we receive, at this time I don't need 15 months to be another vaccine to give, but also quite 11 years old, and the second measles vaccination. They recommend the vaccine to advance, who are epidemiologically to a place to travel with the child, where our country is at much more frequent in the measles (Ukraine, Romania, Serbia, Greece, Italy, England), or meet with people, relatives who are into these countries to travel and come to visit. Suggest to the parents to ask for 12 months, the MMR vaccine? dr. Kulcsár Andrea: no Way, present epidemiological situation in the vaccination brought forward of undue see, and the Hungarian vaccination schedule can't be that broke, can't handle the system, who exactly is counting how many vaccinations when that is available, frequent vaccine shortages. None of the vaccination does not provide 100% protection. What about those who previously received a vaccination? Here, in the first round of the health care workers are the most vulnerable, who see a lot of patients are. dr. Kulcsár Andrea: Nearly 20 thousand health worker happened to a blood test in the last period, where it has been tested protected if the measles after vaccination. I have found that 15-20% of them are not protected. The 20-50 years between population so it's up to every fifth man is susceptible be the measles on. The older people went through the measles, they have such a risk is not the older of the is compromised, who has not had measles and a vaccination not received. Consideration should be given to the cost-benefit ratio, what's better: filtered, for example, all health care workers immunity as regards, and only the non protected those vaccinated, or without filtering, to give you all a new measles vaccine. It is very ungrateful of professional vaccination advisory's, since the happy times of peace in nobody cares about the vaccinations, and unnecessary to be... Features to the moms big group of happy peace, in that philosophical different forums that autism caused by the MMR vaccine, is there any sense of the diphtheria-diphtheria anti-vaccine, when ""these diseases don't exist""... dr. Kulcsár Andrea: Is autism a question many, many times disproved, yet you spread this stupidity to the present day. The vaccines temporarily back to times we had the diseases, but they are here, and ready to jump, waiting to re-attack. The current parents, people I haven't seen polio, diphtheria, therefore, wrongly I think, that only in fairy tales and useless against their defense. I would add, I recently got me a new measles protection providing (MMR) vaccine, and still I was not autism... The vaccine against hysteria due, however, to an increase in disease chance. The vaccination is against, although it's better them rather epidemic, a friend called to say, that's really personal, vaccinated his own child, that don't get involved in the... dr. Kulcsár Andrea: A particular person important to a society to live in, where society is the larger percentage of vaccinated, because the vaccine herd protection for those who although have been vaccinated, but so-called ""nonresponredek"", i.e., after vaccination had not developed adequate immune response and immunity. If more and more say that they don't want the vaccination, it is an excellent medium gives the infectious disease, making the measles, too.

Measles vaccine is given here for the first time, usually 9 months of age. But the authorities according to the iso, either children have not been vaccinated during the last year. The reason is the vaccine against fear. By the end of 2017 people got to hear that the national vaccination campaign, according to a new dengue fever vaccine may cause serious illness or even death. Thus, the trust will also be fundamental in vaccines collapsed. – So we heard, when we asked why the children had not been vaccinated.

Already vaccinated number was counted in the national vaccine program despite. – 95% vaccine coverage can to stop measles spreading in the communities. In the philippines, vaccinated the number of children has been 70-80% in recent years. Recently, it fell below 70 percent, says World health organization Philippine country manager, gund believes Weiler. He believes that the vaccine scandal has its share of vaccine coverage decline and to keep the trust of calculated concern. Last year 20 000 people ended up in the Philippines hospital from measles. This year the number will probably be much greater. Especially less than 9 months of age, babies are in danger in the Philippines, because they have not yet had a chance to get a single vaccine. Already at least 115 patients have died this year. Kirsi Crowley / Yle – we Estimate that in the Philippines is 2.6 million children who have not received the necessary vaccine protection, routine vaccination programmes, Weiler drops.

"1958","The measles outbreak spreading oil in France. In its latest report, public Health in France reported 913 cases. And more are to be expected. Since the beginning of the year 2018, the circulation of the virus has markedly accelerated. The number of new cases increased by 46 % in just three weeks. The public health agency feared an epidemic comparable to that which occurred between 2008 and 2012. As a reminder, it had affected at least 25,000 people and left 23 dead. A number probably underestimated, if we are to believe the statements at the press conference of Dr Daniel Lévy-Bruhl, head of the unit responsible for respiratory infections and vaccination in public Health in France. A virus particularly virulent In addition to accelerate the spread of measles and stretches over the territory. When his reappearance in November, the disease was limited to the region New-region of Aquitaine. Now, these are 59 departments that are affected. Without surprise, the New-Aquitaine continues to collect a large number of cases – approximately 50 %. But the PACA, Brittany and pays-de-la-Loire are also severely affected. © Service presseSource : public Health France, 14 march 2018, If the measles is circulating so well, this is for two main reasons. First of all, it only takes one infected person to infect 20 others. A vaccination to be sufficient 95 % of the population – could curb this phenomenon. The problem is that the coverage is largely inadequate. At best, it reaches 83% of the children. One in ten cases is complicated In the adult population, no study allows to assess the number of people vaccinated against measles. But Dr. Lévy-Bruhl cited figures obtained through the Etablissement Français du Sang, based on the research of antibodies against the disease. A little more than 9 % of the population does not have antibodies to protect against measles. This means that about 1 million French.es may be infected.e.s by the virus. And in fact, 9 out of 10 cases involved a person who was not vaccinated or had received one dose instead of two. The vaccination is, to this day, the only way to protect against measles. However, this disease is far to be trivial. Since the beginning of the epidemic, a patient in five has had to be hospitalized and 10 % of cases have complications (pneumonia, encephalitis, etc.). A young woman is dead as a result of an infection. The collective structures are at high risk Certain populations are particularly vulnerable, reminded public Health of France. In particular, infants less than one year, who can't be immunized, and ""pay the price of an entourage that has not been protected,"" says Daniel Lévy-Bruhl. Then come children 1 to 4 years, unvaccinated, and young adults. The protection through vaccination is even more important as, in one case out of five, the sick person has attended a ""community at risk"", that is to say, housing people fragile. Structures of early childhood, for example, but also health care institutions and homes for the elderly. In the Face of this rapid spread, the ministry of Health has therefore informed all of the professional.the.s health, in town as well as in the hospital. They are invited to.e.s to report all cases, suspect or confirmed. In the region and at the national level, the surveillance of measles is now enhanced. Each individual is also prompted to check that it is adequately protected against measles, consulting his book of health or a physician. The catch-up is strongly recommended, especially if cases are reported, in the circle (professional or personal).",1996,"france"

Cases of measles increased in 98 countries around the world from 2017 to 2018, with cases in Ireland growing by more than 200%, from 25 in 2017 to 86 in 2018.  The Head of the HSE’s National Immunisation Office, Dr Lucy Jessop, said 48 measles cases have been reported so far this year.  “While uptake in Ireland has remained steady at around 92%, we need to increase uptake rates to the target of 95% to make sure that measles does not circulate here,” she said.  This is important for everybody but is particularly vital to protect young babies as they cannot receive the MMR vaccine until they are 12 months old. They are vulnerable to complications, including death if they are exposed to measles infection.  Meanwhile, more than 110,000 measles cases were reported worldwide during the first three months of 2019 – an increase of nearly 300% from the same period last year.  “The foundation for the global measles outbreaks we are witnessing today was laid years ago,” said Peter Power, UNICEF Ireland’s Executive Director.  “The measles virus will always find unvaccinated children. If we are serious about averting the spread of this dangerous but preventable disease, we need to vaccinate every child, in rich and poor countries alike.”  Two doses of the measles vaccine are essential to protect children from the disease, with global coverage of the first dose reported at 85% in 2017, a figure that has remained relatively constant over the last decade.  Anti-vax movement  However, fear or skepticism about vaccines, as well as lack of access, poor health systems, and complacency has seen the global coverage for the second dose drops to 67%.  In high income countries, coverage with the first dose is 94 per cent, but coverage for the second dose drops to 91 per cent.  Resurgence of disease has been partly linked to the growing anti-vaccine movement in richer countries, which the World Health Organization (WHO) has identified as a major global health threat.  The anti-vax phenomenon has adherents across Western countries but is particularly high-profile in the US, where it has been driven by baseless claims on social media.  The United States tops the list of high-income countries with the most children not receiving the first dose of the vaccine between 2010 and 2017, at more than 2.5 million.  The country recorded 695 cases of measles in 2019, the most of any year since the disease was declared eliminated at the turn of the century, and surpassing the previous high of 667 reached in 2014.  “A significant factor contributing to the outbreaks in New York is misinformation in the communities about the safety of the measles/mumps/rubella vaccine,” the country’s Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in a statement.  In a separate statement confirming the new record, Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar said “measles vaccines are among the most extensively studied medical products we have, and their safety has been firmly established over many years”.  Rates of non-vaccination in were second- and third-highest in France and the United Kingdom respectively, where there were over 600,000 and 500,000 unvaccinated infants between 2010 and 2017.

"3524","It is, unfortunately, daily life, scientific studies are retracted because of mistakes or intentional deceptions. Few, however, were and are as dangerous as those of the British Exarzts Andrew Jeremy Wakefield. He was allowed to publish in 1998 a study in ""The Lancet"", according to a popular vaccine against measles, Mumps and rubella (MMR) could cause autism. It was drawn in 2010, by a responsible Journal, because of an obvious error, ""unethical research methods"" and ""irresponsible presentation of the results"" back. Among other things, he had concealed that he was funded by lawyers who wanted to sue the manufacturer of vaccines. Nevertheless, the treatise has been circulating is still in opponents circles and unsettled parents – although several large studies have shown that no such connection exists. A further data analysis of a large national data set confirmed: Vaccination increases the risk for autism. Anders Hviid from the Statens Serum Institute in Copenhagen and his Team have evaluated the health data of more than 650 000 Danish children who were born between 1999 and 2010 and 2013 were examined. Their results, presented in the Journal ""Annals of Internal Medicine"". The data set included in addition to the coverage – the more than 95 per cent of fraud – also known potential risk factors for autism such as the age of the parents, the Existence of an autism spectrum disorder in a sibling, a child, premature births and low birth weight. In the case of a percent of the cohort later on a autism spectrum, was diagnosed disorder. The key statement was: Among the vaccinated children, there was statistically no more cases of autism than the unvaccinated. This was also the case for the sub-group, in which, on the basis of certain factors the General risk for an autism spectrum disorder was increased. Here, the vaccination is not provided also that the autism risk increased further. The Danish study is now at least 18. Study finds no connection between MMR vaccination and the development of an autism spectrum disorder. Nevertheless, Wakefield's ""work"" in social networks, and opponents of the pages more as a point against the Vaccination. In recent years, the number of measles has increased cases in the world again clearly. In Europe, for example, you have from 2017 to 2018 tripled – with a portion of the cases are not the result of opponents, but on other factors, such as the war in Eastern Ukraine that has reduced vaccination rates. Germany and other West European countries with good medical infrastructure will experience, but also recurring local and regional measles waves. The WHO has classified opponents, meanwhile, as one of the ten largest global health risks.",1918,"germany"

The Doctors asked if Nerius as a child had been vaccinated, this question gave more via text message to his mother. The answer: A downward-pointing thumb. The patient's ordeal began. He came into quarantine, and was becoming weaker. He lost about twelve kilograms in weight and was in between running alone. Only after months, he had recovered, the report said.

"5458","We are vaccinating less children against measles, and this choice is causing a public health emergency around the world, as all know, the Unicef, it is estimated that 169 million children who have not been administered the first dose of the measles vaccine between 2010 and 2017: 21.1 million children each year. The lack of vaccination has resulted in an increase in cases of measles throughout the world. Here's what there is to know. No vaccine, yes the epidemic. It's now been a year that parents all over the world have decided to put in doubt the utility of the measles vaccine, but this has resulted in the spread of this disease, says Henrietta Fore, Executive Director of UNICEF, “The ground for the spread of epidemics, global measles that we see today was prepared years ago. The measles virus will find more and more children are not vaccinated. If we want to seriously prevent the spread of this dangerous disease, but preventable, we have to vaccinate each child, both in the rich countries than in poor ones”. What is going on.

A further six countries - France, Georgia, Greece, Italy, Russia and Serbia - have experienced outbreaks with more than 1000 cases. Overall, infected more than 41 000 people in the European Region of the WHO, including some of the Asian States in the first half of the year. 37, the majority of them died in Serbia. Because of the highly contagious disease can be much more difficult than many people believe. Acute-can cause inflammation of measles infections in children, lung and middle ear.

She called on the member countries to increase immunization rates. So that can't spread the measles virus, you must be at least 95 percent of the population is vaccinated. In Europe there are not only 90 percent, some countries reach a rate of 70 percent. And there are other setbacks: Italy's new government has tipped the only a year ago, introduced vaccination for ten immunizations again. The measure had begun to be successful. The vaccination rates against measles, Mumps and rubella increased in the first year of vaccination to 4.4 percent. In Germany, the situation is currently less dramatic.

The Fund United Nations Children's fund (UNICEF) has been report, in the framework of the Global Week of Vaccination, that between 2010 and 2017 approximately 169 million children did not receive the first dose of the measles vaccine, which gives an annual average of 21.1 million children. In the first three months of 2019, has indicated to UNICEF, there have been over 110,000 cases of measles around the world, nearly 300 percent more than in the same period last year. ""The breeding ground for the outbreak of global measles that we witness today was established years ago,"" said Henrietta Fore, executive director of UNICEF. The UN agency has explained that the two doses of the vaccine are ""essential"" to protect children from measles. In 2017, the coverage of the first dose reached 85 percent, a figure ""relatively constant"", but the second dose reached only 67 per cent. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends a threshold of coverage of 95 percent to win the ""immunity collective"", although it is far from this goal due to, among other things, to ""weak health systems"" and, in some cases, ""the fear or the skepticism of vaccines."" UNICEF has called attention to the fact that it is a problem which also affects high-income countries, where the coverage of the first dose is 94 per cent and of the second dose, 91 per cent, according to the most recent data. ""The united states tops the list of high-income countries where there are more children who did not receive the first dose of the vaccine between 2010 and 2017, more than 2.5 million"", followed by France and the Uk, with over 600,000 and 500,000 infants are not vaccinated, respectively, during the same period, has required UNICEF.

Measles being highly contagious, more contagious than the flu or Ebola, because very easily through the air by droplets transferable are, says the Minister. ""You can often take a very evil course, to inflammation of the brain, and partial death."" High fines, compulsory education remains to prevent this, there will be a vaccination booklet compulsory. And if you didn't, the adversity is threatening. No daycare for unvaccinated children, who denied himself as the educator or teacher is not allowed to work there. Parents who let their school children are not vaccinated, must reckon with a fine of up to 2500 euros. However, there is no compulsory vaccination, such as the CDU Deputy, Rudolf Henke clarified. Similarly, provided that the refusal of vaccination meant that it was possible to set the compulsory education in force. What government is trying to achieve with the law?

The counts for 2018 is of concern because it exceeds the record of the last 10 years and has shown a negative trend and dangerous for our health. Black jersey to Italy, which is among the 7 european Countries in which you are registered more cases from the beginning of the year. Let's see together what is the situation at european and national level, and because it is dramatic. Europe, 41.000 cases in six months. As listed by the WHO, are already 41.000 cases of measles among adults and children in the last 6 months, we talk about the figures that far exceed what is reported annually in the decade just passed: in practice, from 2010 to 2017, the highest number of cases of measles at the annual level was registered in 2017, with 23.927 cases, while the lowest number was registered in 2016 with a 5.273. Now, in just six months, we have almost doubled the number of patients compared to those of the entire 2017: and from the beginning of the year are death already 37 people. The Countries worst: Italy in the list. Among the 7 Countries where the situation with measles is the most alarming spit: Italy, France, Serbia, Greece, Russia, Georgia and Ukraine. In each of these countries, cases of measles from the beginning of the year were already more than 1,000.

"1419","Before the introduction of vaccination on the territory of the Czech republic each year were thousands to tens of thousands of cases of measles. For example, in 1966, according to the National institute of health reported 89 712 cases of the disease, and yet in 1971, in the us there has been 20 deaths due to measles. Yet the movement Rozalio on your website says that this disease at the time of initiation of routine immunisation ""no, it did not constitute for a healthy population of children zero risk"". Just spread similar argument creates a false impression that the measles is ""just a normal childhood disease"", and so the vaccination against them is not necessary. At first glance measles an ideal candidate for eradication. This is the only human disease that the animals transfer. Infection is fully preventable through vaccination and more than fifty years there is an effective, reliable and safe vaccine, which is in addition affordable. Look at the current numbers on the prevalence of measles in Europe, that this disease should get rid of it in 2015, but optimism does not. In the last year according to data the WHO contracted the disease in this region more than 82 thousand people and 72 people on the measles died. Where is the fault? And is it fair to humanity to completely eliminate measles, like it managed to for smallpox? ""Thanks to affordable and effective vaccination, we were close to the eradication of measles, which would ultimately lead to the fact that this vaccination was no longer necessary. But now we're standing face to face recurrent epidemics of this highly infectious disease and we're dealing with the decline of vaccination rates,“ explains associate professor Rastislav Hungarian, head of the Institute of epidemiology and public health of the Medical faculty of the university of Ostrava and the president of the Forum of infectious, tropical and travel medicine. Just maintain a sufficiently high vaccination coverage for a sufficiently long period of time is the key to measles eliminate, and subsequently eradicate, therefore, to eradicate. ""Measles is preventable and can be eliminated by using vaccination,"" summarizes the World health organization (WHO), which also set the goal that in 2020 will achieve the eradication of measles. However, this is currently unattainable, and just the rejection of vaccination has in this respect a major impact. Not by chance it WHO considers it one of the biggest health threats of today. ""Reluctance to vaccinate or refusal of the vaccination despite the availability of vaccines is a threat to the progress that has been achieved by vaccination in the fight against preventabilním disease, will be thwarted,"" says the WHO in its report with the fact that vaccination is one of the economically most effective tools, how to handle infectious diseases in the case that is against them, the available vaccination. In more detail about the other health threats to humanity we have written here. Recent history of measles In the understanding of why the measles being immunized and why in their case the sense of to achieve their eradication, it is good to look into relatively recent history. The measles vaccine was discovered in 1963. For her discovery stood an american microbiologist John Franklin Enders, which, inter alia, in 1954, together with his colleague Thomas Huckle Weller and Frederick Chapman Robbins won the Nobel prize in physiology or medicine for the discovery of the possibilities of the cultivation of the viruses of poliomyelitis (children's infectious polio) tissue culture in the laboratory, which opened the way to the development of a vaccine against this disease. At the time, been deaths from measles so rare. The us bureau Centre for Disease Control and Prevention reported that before the introduction of routine immunisation against measles became ill with this disease almost all children under the age of fifteen years. Each year in the U.S. was recorded 3 to 4 million cases, 48 thousand cases of hospitalization, roughly 1 thousand cases encefalitity and about 400 to 500 deaths. Personally this disease has touched even the family of british writer Roalda Dahl, who created immortal children's books as Charlie and the chocolate factory or the Fantastic mr. Fox. ""Olivia, my oldest daughter, got in seven years to die of measles. The disease had the usual course. I remember that I often read in bed and felt not anxious,“ recalled the writer in the fateful year of 1962. ""One morning, when Olivia healing, I sat on her bed and showed her how to create little critters out of the cleaners pipes. When it was her turn to get it too the test, I noticed that her mind and her fingers did not cooperate and I couldn't do anything. 'Are you feeling okay?' I asked her. 'I'm too sleepy.' She responded to me. In an hour she was unconscious, and twelve hours later, she died,“ described by Dahl in 1986, when he decided to disclose his personal experience with measles. With his daughter there has been the development of encephalitis, therefore závažní complication of measles affecting the brain. ""Today, there is something parents can do to such a tragedy happened to their child. They can insist that their child will be vaccinated against measles. I for Olivia in 1962 could do, because back then there wasn't invented a reliable vaccine. Today is for each family available good and safe vaccine, all you have to do is ask your doctor,“ wrote Dahl. More about his experience with measles and about why he tried to the other parents to convince about the importance of vaccination, you can read here. Measles is commonly occurred also in the Czech territory and also led to deaths. According to statistics, the National institute of health, for example, in 1966 it was at the us 89 712 cases of the disease, and yet in 1971, in the us there has been 20 deaths due to measles. ""Before the introduction of vaccination in the Czech republic occurred a year thousands to tens of thousands of cases of measles,"" notes the National health institute. For example, in 1930, then according to the data of the Czech statistical office died of the measles 294 persons, of which 102 children under the age of one year and 162 children aged 1 to 4 years. To the last death due to measles then in Czechoslovakia occurred in 1980, which, unfortunately, does not mean that the measles stopped dying. ""Measles can lead to very serious complications and, unfortunately, it cannot be assumed that deaths from measles already in the us can occur. For this disease is currently dying not only in developing countries but also in rich Europe,“ points out associate professor of Hungarian. It is more dangerous to the spread of misconceptions, that measles are nothing more than just a ""normal childhood disease"", that there is no need to worry about. The association Rozalio a few days ago on its website published an article called Dr. Hofhanzlová: Panic about the measles, I also like fear before responsibility for the consequences of vaccination. In it a doctor, which is inter alia dedicated to homeopathy and the family konstelacím says also this: ""it Is a mystery to me, why in the 70's. years began on measles and mumps vaccinated when these diseases no longer constitute for a healthy population of children no threat.“ Now he says ""is acting up again because of measles"", although, according to her point of view, it's about ""common childhood diseases"". ""Diseases were, are and will be. Instead of panic, it would be preferable to spread the necessity of basic life attitudes, which would ensure good immunity of our dainty 'civilized' society,"" he says with that, that would be preferable, for example, do not eat sweet, fast, otužovat and children to put to sleep during the day. The actual going through with measles has then according to her, even a positive effect on the development of the child: ""Children test the disease progresses also on the higher mental level, it changes behavior, will emerge strengthened."" Measles are dangerous Purely statistically, measles not a trivial disease, which means ""only"" a few days temperature and a red rash. The reason for the introduction of widespread vaccination against them were are serious complications associated with them. ""Measles is one of the nejnakažlivějších human diseases. If you are missing vaccinations, 95% of persons younger than 15 years to get sick,“ notes the WHO. From the point of view of statistics European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control is then the frequency of complications of the following: If you get sick of 100 people, then in seven to nine pediatric patients appear infections of the ears, which can lead, and loss of hearing, and for one to six patients will have pneumonia, which is the most common cause of death in young children. At one of the 1000 patients the infection attacks the brain and develops encephalitis, which can lead to irreversible mental damage to the child. One of the 1000 patients then due to infection measles will die. In addition, may develop a very serious complication known as subacute sclerosing panencephalitis, in which the spalničkový virus slowly attacks the central nervous system of the child, until eventually death occurs. This disease, when the virus after a previous infection reactivates, it is incurable and the vast majority of patients die within three years from the manifestation of the disease. If got measles infant, the incidence of this complication 1:600 patients. The current situation in Europe, where the measles are unable to get under control, despite available vaccinations, shows according to Zsuzsanny Jakabové, director of the WHO office for the european region, the importance of vaccination and how the ""gaps in vaccination coverage are opening the door for this virus"". ""We can't reach globally healthier population, as we promised in the vision of the WHO for the next five years, if we do not work on the local level. We must do more and better work, to protect each person from diseases that can be easily avoided,“ said Jakabová in a press statement. According to WHO statistics, a total of 34 countries of the european region does not reach the necessary limit of 95 % vaccination coverage with two doses of the vaccine. According to the original strategy, WHO should be the measles eliminated in Europe in 2015. However, in 2016 was registered 5 273 cases of measles in 2017 sickened 25 863 persons, and in the last year in this region became infected even 82 596 children and adults. Demonstrable achievements of vaccination against measles Vaccination has a major impact on the incidence of measles and at the same time the number of deaths. Between the years 2000 to 2016 there has been a worldwide decline in mortality from measles by 84 %. In 2000, measles killed 550 100 persons and in 2016 were registered 89 780 deaths. ""These deaths could have been prevented with a simple, secure, economically advantageous and properly timed vaccination against measles,"" says a comment of the prestigious journal the Lancet from the year 2017, which is dedicated to it, what price do we pay for it, that we're moving away from the target eradikování measles. The corresponding response to the return of epidemics of measles in countries that have been close to eliminating this disease, so means large costs for the public health. ""Vaccination against measles, which each child will provide two benefits, either under routine or emergency vaccination programme, is the economically efficient investment in the field of public health, but for the eradication of measles would still be financially interesting, because it would be possible to save the costs associated with the treatment (more than 2 billion dollars a year) and at the same time it would be possible to save the losses incurred as a long-term impact of the disease (more than 63 billion dollars),"" explains the commentary. According to other statistics, the WHO, the measles vaccination only between the years 2000 to 2014 avoid the 17 million deaths from this disease. ""Current vaccines used are safe, effective, providing long-term protection, cheap and can be a part of various vaccination programs,"" sums up the WHO. According to WHO statistics is the efficiency of the administration of a single dose averaged 84 %, if it is filed between 9. up to 11. month of age, and an average of 92.5 %, if the child is vaccinated after 12. month of life. Specifically in the Czech republic with the first dose of the combined vaccine that protects against measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine, applied from 13. 18. months of age and the second dose between 5. and 6. year of life. ""If children do not respond to the first dose of the vaccine, then approximately 95 % will gain the necessary protection after administration of the second dose of the vaccine,"" notes the WHO with the fact that the administration of two doses should be a standard part of all national immunization programmes. If then he wants a specific country to achieve the elimination of measles, it is necessary to maintain vaccination coverage with two doses of the vaccine over the limit of 95 %.

"71005","Vaccinations, How herd immunity can prevent the epidemic of measles In the first half of the year has been the double of spread of measles in Europe in around 2017 Luis Cano FOLLOW Updated: 22/08/2018 10:00 pm Save Send news by email Your name * Your email * Your email * In the first half of the year has been the double of spread of measles in Europe in around 2017. The World Health Organization (WHO) alert about the worrying number of cases is on the rise. Considers that, after the progress in Europe to eradicate it, there has been a relaxation in the systems of prevention. In some countries it has lowered the percentage of the 95% vaccinated population. A risk. Half of the 41,000 cases have been given in Ukraine. The other most affected countries, with more than a thousand of the infection, are France, germany, Greece, Italy, Russia, Georgia and Serbia. Have already died 37 affected, 14 of them in Serbia. Before this epidemic, the Spanish Association of Pediatrics recommended this summer overtake the vaccination of the ""mmr"", scheduled for the year of life, children older than six months who are going to spend an extended stay in countries such as Romania, France, Italy or Greece. In Spain, where the coverage of the first dose of the measles vaccine covers 97% of the population according to WHO data, there have been 184 cases of contagions in the first half of this year, compared to the 142 that was in the same period of the previous year, according to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control. The second dose reaches 90% of the population. In the past 12 months, assume five cases per every million inhabitants. Despite the significant increase, is far below countries from our environment. In France, where the coverage of the first dose of vaccine reaches 90% of the population and the second to 80%, in the last 12 months there have been 41 cases of measles per million inhabitants. In Italy, with 92% coverage in the first dose and 86% in the second, 55 cases per million. Cases of measles in the first six months of 2018 - ABC, The measles virus is transmitted by direct contact and through the air. It has a capacity of infection seven times higher than the flu virus. It is an endemic disease that is only controlled by vaccination. The immunity of a group allows you to avoid the contagion. ""Naturally, when an outbreak occurs, to the advance of the epidemic and increase the number of immune individuals decreases the probability of contact between a susceptible and an infected, until a time comes in which it blocks transmission of the infectious agent,"" explains the Spanish Association of Vacunología. For herd immunity, vaccination programs systematic have a vital importance. ""The fact of getting vaccinated means not only the protection of the individual, but through it she is contributing in solidarity to the protection of the entire population"", explains the Spanish Association of Vacunología. WHO remembers that every person not vaccinated is vulnerable and, therefore, encourages governments to reach segments of the population not immunized. Antivacunas Currently there is a great controversy surrounding the detractors of vaccination programs, which they consider unnecessary or directly hazardous to health, despite the recommendations of health authorities. In some countries, this attitude is encouraged by the own politicians. In Italy, the populist Movement 5 Star in the Government, with a long history antivacunas, has encouraged the delay in the age of vaccination. The Interior minister, Matteo Salvini, said, against medical opinion, which set ten vaccines mandatory is ""useless and sometimes dangerous"". The personal decision, or of parents over their children, however, is not the only reason for which the vaccines do not reach a greater percentage of the population. In Ukraine, the most affected country, for example, is due to the lack of supplies of vaccines. On the european continent, the immunization reached in 2017 to 90% of the child population, two points higher than the previous year, according to the WHO. However, there are large differences between countries: while some cover 95%, the other only reaches 70% of the population. In Spain, the coverage is 97% in the first dose of the measles vaccine, and 90% in the second, according to data from the World Health Organization. Arguments of pediatricians to vaccinate BY L. PERAITA AND C. FOMINAYA These are his ten arguments: 1. Protect our health: vaccines protect against some viruses and bacteria that cause serious disease and potentially fatal. Activate our defenses and help us to defend ourselves against the microorganisms. 2. Save lives: currently still dying children and adults from diseases that could be prevented with vaccines, such as polio, tetanus, meningitis, diphtheria, pertussis (whooping cough). Without a doubt, vaccination, and water purification have been the public health interventions that more lives have been saved throughout history, and still do. 3. Can control and eliminate diseases: with the coordinated effort between many countries can be achieved to eradicate them forever. An example is smallpox, which was finally eradicated in 1978, having produced up to 5 million annual deaths. Polio is close to disappear, and other diseases (diphtheria, tetanus, rubella, etc) have decreased a lot. 4. Prevent some types of cancer and degenerative diseases: it is shown that the hepatitis B vaccine prevents cirrhosis and liver cancer, and the vaccine of the human papilloma virus (HPV), cancer of neck of uterus. The measles vaccine, for its part, prevents neurodegenerative diseases. 5.

Parents in Wandsworth have been warned by Public Health England to vaccinate their children following a sudden rise in cases ahead of the Christmas holidays.  Most of the cases have been found in school children aged between 10 and 19 years old who did not get their full set of shots when they were younger.  A number of schools have suffered “large outbreaks” of the disease, according to PHE.  The World Health Organisation declared the UK measles free in 2016, but the country lost this status earlier this year.  Due to the age range of the people affected there are fears the outbreak may be connected to the now debunked Wakefield report which wrongly linked the inoculation to autism.  Immunisation rates plummeted following publication of the paper, and in 2003/2004 it dropped to just 52 per cent in Wandsworth.  Andrew Wakefield was struck off in fallout over his report.  Dr Rebecca Cordery, immunisations lead at PHE’s South London Health Protection Team, said: “The symptoms of measles to look out for include cold-like symptoms, sore red eyes, a high temperature and a rash.  “If you experience these symptoms seek medical attention, but phone ahead before visiting a doctor so arrangements can be made to prevent others from being infected.”  “Measles is a highly infectious viral illness that can lead to serious complications and while it is circulating in Wandsworth we are urging parents to get their children vaccinated.”  Cabinet member for health and social care Cllr Melanie Hampton said: “Measles isn’t a harmless childhood disease and some people go on to develop very serious complications so please make sure you and your children are fully immunised.”  Latest census figures show that around 61,000 children aged 19 and under live in Wandsworth.  Burntwood School, a Girls’ academy with almost 1,700 pupils, posted a letter from PHE and Wandsworth Borough Council on their website.  Signed by Dr Cordery and Shannon Katiyo, acting director of Public Health at Richmond and Wandsworth Councils, the letter warns: ""A person with measles is infectious for about eight days, from four days BEFORE the rash appears, to four days afterwards, so any child with suspected measles should be kept off school for 4 full days after rash onset.  “Brothers and sisters who have not had MMR are very likely to develop measles too.  “They may need to be excluded from school for 21 days to protect the rest of the school from measles.”  The letter also warns parents to keep infected children away from babies, pregnant women and those with compromised immune systems - like people being treated for cancer or with large doses of steroids.  It adds: ""Since the end of September 2019 there have been over 60 cases reported in Wandsworth. The majority are schoolchildren and we have large outbreaks in several schools.”  PHE said that 87 cases had been reported from the end of September and 38 cases had been confirmed as measles after laboratory testing.  The MMR vaccine is delivered in two doses, one shot at a year old and another at around three years old.  More information about measles can be found here.",1856,"uk"
"1968","The figures are staggering. Since the month of December 2017, the regional agency of health of New-Aquitaine, which has issued several alert bulletins, saves all of the days six new cases of measles. Already close to 200 in total. Outbreak unprecedented. ""Measles is a highly contagious viral infection that can lead to serious pulmonary complications and neurological, sets Annie Burbaud, doctor of the ARS. One ill person infected can contaminate up to twenty people. ""The focus of the epidemic is a girondin. A few sick people isolated have been recorded in the spring in the Vienne, in the Haute-Vienne or in September in the bordeaux conurbation, within the traveller community. But it is in different sites of the university campus of Bordeaux that were reported the last cases. Just before the school holidays, which saw students return to their families. ""At this time, france was affected by the flu, which no doubt delayed the right diagnosis,"" stresses Annie Burbaud. ""The measles had disappeared from our radars, it is not part of the top 10 diseases to look for,"" explains Paul-Henry Rocca, a gp in Bordeaux. He admits to have "" missed a case "", a few weeks ago. Because early symptoms bear an uncanny resemblance to those of a flu : high temperature, runny nose and persistent, watery eyes and a state of general fatigue. ""But as soon as the buttons appear, the doubt is not allowed any more. ""The vaccination only answer is"" It is far from psychosis, "" says dr. Bernard Plédran, regional president of the union MG France. Rather, the upsurge of cases of a disease that was hoped to be mistakenly eradicated. ""The only parade against the spread is preventive, and passes through vaccination, which is mandatory from 1 January 2018 on the new-born, and only recommended since 1980. New Aquitaine is a bad student with a vaccination coverage of 60 to 81% depending on the departments, when the world health Organization in advocating 95 % to eradicate measles. It is this which explains that the virus continues to circulate. ""He is always there. In the air. This is why we must be vigilant and responsive as soon as a case is said to identify people who have been in contact, "" explains Annie Burbaud. The standard of the medical group in which carries on Paul-Henry Rocca, "" this is madness "". The secretary hangs up to take call on appeal. ""Since Monday, we have a surge in requests for information on the measles, found dr. Rocca. Scare with health alerts is good, but it is up to us, behind, to reassure. There is a definite “réinquiétude” of patients, often older than 50 years of age, who are concerned for their grandchildren, who don't know if they have had the measles, which would immunize for life, if they are vaccinated or where all this is written. """" This is the problem of vagrancy medical "", note Bernard Plédran, which receives, also, patients requesting vaccination. ""And then, historically, it was a vaccine at a dose. And then to two. Therefore, there is a whole segment of the population that is passed to the as of the second vaccination and who believes that it is protected without being against a severe disease. ""According to the ARS, 80 % of the cases this winter relate to young adults who were not vaccinated at all. The others had actually received only a single injection of the vaccine. 28 % had to be hospitalized. And measles struck the inside of the hospital as a result of the coming to the er of infected persons. ""This is one of the infectious diseases the most contagious,"" recalls Agnes Lasheras, physician in the department of hospital hygiene of the university hospital of Bordeaux. ""The professionals had not all had the vaccine in full. Important steps have been taken such as the wearing of the mask, the catch-up vaccination, sending emails to patients. """"But given the information given, we are in a phase where it is expected to contain the epidemic,"" says Annie Burbaud.",1849,"france"

"1967","The measles epidemic is not only Bordeaux and its agglomeration. In a press release sent Wednesday, the regional Agency of health of New-Aquitaine alert to the presence of a new reported outbreak, Poitiers, "" in which 9 people have been taken care of for suspected measles (5 cases confirmed to date) "". ""Other departments in the region could potentially be affected,"" says the ARS, who calls everyone "" to check the status of vaccination and that of their children (health card, vaccination certificate...)

What is going on? According to the ministry of Health, the main reason is the negative trend in the vaccination coverage in recent years, which in 2015 is only reached 85.3% in children up to 24 months of age. Almost 10 percent less than the 95% threshold indicated by the experts as minimum requirement to stop the circulation of the virus. According to the press release of the ministry, the regions most affected by the measles would be the Piedmont, Lazio, Lombardy and Tuscany. More than half of the cases would have occurred in the population between 15 and 39 years of age, many even among health care workers (doctors, nurses, etc.). Not a good sign, because the index of the fact that the circulation of the virus is increasing and that the problem is really all. Those who decide not to vaccinate their children, claim the experts, and be exposed to the risk of contagion that part of the population that does not have the ability to get vaccinated – because they are too young, or for issues related to the clinical situation, the contingent – or in whom the vaccine has shown to be not effective. It is true, indeed, that vaccination is the trivalent Mmr (Measles-Mumps-Rubella) does not have an effectiveness of 100% (every individual responds in a different way), but its validity is not questioned by the scientific community and by the competent institutions in the field of public health. Reach the popular threshold of 95% vaccination coverage would establish the so-called immunity of the flock, that is, it would decrease to such a point that the circulation of the virus that also who is not immunized would still be protected. Despite the widespread opinion is that the measles, as well as other infectious diseases, is a typical feature of childhood, and basically harmless, this disease can really have a clinical course very serious (the outcome is sometimes fatal), and have consequences in the short and long term also for the one who is healed. One of the complications is less well-known of the measles, in fact, is the panencefalite subacute sclerosing (Pess). Not very common, but terrible, the Pess occurs when the measles virus lurks inside the nerve cells of the person who has contracted the infection and there remains an invisible but active: the virus over the years, destroys the central nervous system and when they begin to manifest the first signs is clearly too late.",1818,"italy"

"41005","The lack of vaccination has increased by 10 cases of this disease since the year 2016, and there have been confirmed cases in at least 26 states from California to New York. ""My parents are idiots and do not believe in vaccines. Now that I am 18 years where can I get vaccinated? How can I get at my age?"". Five months ago, Ethan Linderberger hung up that message on the social network Reddit, an online community extremely popular among adolescents in the united states. Since then, many things have changed in the life of this teenager from the State of Ohio. The most obvious: it has been vaccinated. And at a spectacular rate. ""In three or four months, I vacuné of everything. I had three or four appointments with the doctor, and in each and every one of them put me as a half-dozen injections"", explains by phone Linderberger. And she's not dead. Is more: the young or even has suffered side effects from his marathon of vaccines. This month of may, he graduated from high school. And at the end of the summer will be admitted to the university to study a church and become a protestant pastor. But the vaccines will not have gone free. His mother has stopped talking and has been the subject of a campaign of harassment, especially through Facebook. It has also become, thanks to your post on Reddit, a popular character in the US, both from the point of view of the controversy about vaccines in this country from the fight against digital bullying. When, two months ago, Linderberger was invited to testify before the U.S. Senate to defend the shots, your mother did something extremely irresponsible: he hung up on Facebook the details of his flight to Washington. Although ""deleted immediately"", it was already late. The trip details were shared on the network, increasing the pressure on the teenager. Two weeks ago, Linderberger was one of the victims of harassment online that are met, as part of a campaign of the nonprofit organization Avaaz, with the leaders of the big social network companies in California to sue control measures of privacy on the Internet. The case of Ethan Linderberger is just one example of a dangerous trend that is spreading in the USA: the rejection of vaccines. Fed by social networks, a series of conspiracy theories about immunization against diseases is extended by that country. It is as well as for some americans, the vaccines are a conspiracy of the State and the pharmaceutical. For others, cause autism. A law that allows parents in many states to refuse vaccinations on grounds of ethical or religious, has been added to those rumours and is threatening to create a serious public health problem. The proponents of such theories without feet or head are influential. In 2012, the then star of reality shows, Donald Trump tweeted: ""The combinations massive injections to small children are the cause of the large increase in cases of autism."" Two years later, he returned to repeat the same idea in the same social network. In 2015, as a candidate for the presidency, Trump moderated a little bit of his position, by declaring on CNN that the alleged problem is that vaccinated children with ""dose of horse"". It is possible that these claims, which lack of the slightest scientific basis, they were motivated by the fact that the fifth son of the president, Barron -with his third wife, Melania - has an autism spectrum disorder. But last month, as a head of State and Government, Trump had to backtrack. ""They have to vaccinate them already,"" said the president on CNN. The change of heart from Trump could well be due to the fact that the US is undergoing a series of measles outbreaks that have triggered the alarm of the health authorities. The latest figures are around 1,000 affected, especially in the states of California and New York. The gravity of the situation led several states to toughen the criteria for parents to be able to ban the vaccine for their children. Even companies that operate with the children in the audience fear that this situation end up affecting their business. The possibility that an unvaccinated child to trigger an infection simply by contagion in one of their amusement parks is a cause for concern for giants of the likes of Disney or of the owner of the amusement parks-Universal, Comcast. But, even so, the rejection of the vaccines continues to expand. And it does so across all sectors of the population. In California, where the 3% of children of preschool are not vaccinated, the rejection of the immunizations is concentrated, paradoxically, in the elite of the technology companies and the world of the spectacle, among those who has extended a philosophy allegedly naturist that leads to the rejection of this public health practice. The Hollywood star Robert DeNiro, who is diametrically opposed to the policies of Donald Trump, is a prominent enemy of vaccines. In other cases, the recazo is religious. This is the case of Jerome Kunkel, a teenager from Kentucky, which in February led to the state Department of Health to the courts when the private school catholic that comes to forbid him to be part of the basketball team for not being vaccinated against chicken pox. Kunkel and his family reject vaccines because, they claim, some of them come from human embryos, and in their demand, they resorted to the usual argument that the decision of the academic authorities was ""an act of tyranny against our religion, our faith and our country"", despite the fact that the college had taken this decision due to the occurrence of an outbreak of chicken pox. Two weeks ago, the attorney Kunkel stated that the young man, 18 years old, has chickenpox. Even so, neither he nor his family regret the decision of not having been vaccinated. It is something similar to what happens in the family of Linderberger. As explained by young: ""I have six siblings, some just a few years old, and I am the only one who is vaccinated.""",1808,"spain"

Measles is an infectious disease, very contagious, that is spread from person to person through the air when coughing, sneezing, mouchage or by contact with soiled hands or contaminated objects. It is characterized by a high fever, associated with cough, nasopharyngitis, or conjunctivitis. And of course, in a second time, by a skin rash. The patient is contagious BEFORE the rash, which explains its wide contamination. Measles must be reported to enable health authorities to put in place measures of protection.

But it can also trigger inflammation, life - threatening lung and Brain. Be transferred to the pathogen by coughing, Sneezing or direct contact with the body. In order to be fully protected, need small children two vaccinations between 12 and 23 months. The first dose reached a high proportion of children, the rate for the second syringe. The measles 1 / 9 Back Forward The measles should be eradicated in Germany, actually, up to the year 2015. The opposite is the case. What you need to know about the disease: measles are caused by a Virus and are highly contagious. The measles pathogen is spread via the air (airborne spread) and in direct physical contact. Symptoms of the disease are fever, cough, runny nose, and a measles-typical rash are. Possible complications of measles-pneumonia, or inflammation of the brain (Meningitis) are. With increasing age, the risk for complications increases. In adults, complications are more common than in children, and the disease course is more severe. Measles are one of the notifiable diseases. Anyone who is sick with the measles, will not suffer in his whole life once again. The immune system forms antibodies against the Virus and stores it in the body. Federal Minister of health, Jens Spahn is working on a Germany-wide vaccination duty against the disease in kindergartens and schools. The proposal of the CDU-politician, has joined the Federal Minister for family Affairs, Franziska Giffey. ""Government Action is needed to compromise if the risk of other children in kindergartens, schools or other institutions to get a different grip,"" said the SPD politician.

The reason for the increasing case in Europe, the declining Coverage, was mainly, it was said by the WHO. In some countries, there were also problems with the availability of the vaccine. The measles are extremely contagious. Measles viruses are transmitted when Talking, coughing or Sneezing, on tiny droplets in the air. The disease, first go with flu-like symptoms and later a characteristic rash accompanied by skin. The infection weakens the immune system immensely, other infections are therefore a common consequence. A dreaded result of an inflammation of the brain, the measles encephalitis which can be fatal or with permanent damage is. As a late result of measles infection is an inflammation of the nerve cells of the brain and of the spinal cord may form also after years of a so-called subacute sclerosing Panencephalitis (SSPE),. It leads to the failure of brain functions and finally to death - cure options are not yet available. Against the measles, you can protect yourself with a vaccination.

The return of measles should not be underestimated. “The age group most affected is between 15 and 29 years – remember Icardi – then it is not a disease of children. In most cases, it is necessary to be admitted to hospital. For this, we recall the importance of getting vaccinated to 2 years, with a booster at around 5-6 years.” “In Liguria, "" explains Icardi – we have seen a drastic drop in coverage.

""Are boys not vaccinated or have received only one dose of the vaccine,"" explains the doctor - If measles is back to die it should be to the missing vaccinations, or, more often, to the failure to recall. Before the years '80, in fact, there is ill of measles, and those who overcame the acute phase of the disease developed antibodies that were defending for the whole life"". From the ’90s by the advent of the trivalent vaccine (measles-German measles-mumps), the disease was almost eradicated, but in recent years due to the non-obligatory nature of vaccination, and the lack of social awareness in parents, the vaccination coverage in the population has fallen below the threshold of 95%. ""Moreover, many born after the 90s have not completed the two calls, which are fundamental to give a cover for life continues, the primary of the Fatebenefratelli - All this has led to the re-emergence of the disease and of measles atypical in vaccinated subjects partially: many subjects are therefore more at risk of developing the disease and are those who for health reasons cannot be vaccinated, in addition to the population that has an age between 15 years to 37 years"". In practice, any adult who has not successfully completed the cycle of the trivalent likely to be exposed to the disease becoming a danger to their children not vaccinated. The numbers confirm the alarm: 41mila cases in the Eu in the first six months of the year, and the band that goes from the teens up to 35 years is the most affected: we are facing a problem not to be underestimated, and that also affects the health professionals. This year in Europe there have already been 37 deaths and neurological complications can leave indelible marks, such as permanent disabilities.

"1969","The measles had completely disappeared from the radar screens of medical prevention in Costa Rica. But it was enough that a French child of 5 years old, on holiday with her parents in this central American country, will be flagged by the health authorities of the province of Puntarenas as a carrier of this virus ultra-contagious to relaunch the debate on the interest of vaccination. The subject is even more topical than at the beginning of march, Unicef alerted on the upsurge of ""special concern"" of the disease in the world, and pointed to France as one of the ten original countries of the three quarters of the increase in cases of measles between 2017 and 2018. The case of this young French tourist in Costa Rica emphasizes the collective risks posed by non-vaccination in the world. The director of Unicef, Henrietta Fore, said that there was yet ""a vaccine that is safe, effective and affordable way to prevent a highly contagious disease"". On vacation on the Pacific coast of Costa Rica, the boy of 5 years old and his parents are also infected, but without symptoms, have been quarantined in the hospital of Puntarenas two days after their arrival, as soon as the first symptoms appear. Isolated in a negative-pressured room, they were not able to get out of the hospital – yet at 100 meters from the beach – only eight days after. They are then kept under medical surveillance in their villa before returning to France. Contacted by Libération, the doctor, Steven Villarreal, in charge of the vigilance epidemiological in the hospital, explains: ""The French family was in isolation because there has been no indigenous case in Costa Rica since 2005. The appearance of a case of measles has enabled the protocols for the alert to avoid a crisis with multiple cases at the national level."" It is with some pride that he recounted the way in which the health services of the State have been busy for two weeks to find and vaccinate the people with which the holidaymakers had been in contact. France very poor student Positive, the doctor describes a ""rewarding experience from every point of view"", which has allowed them to experiment with their protocols and for the parents who did not immunize their children. Irony of the calendar: while the French youngster was not vaccinated, Costa Rica was in the midst of the campaign of vaccination against measles – required for all children in the country – in order to maintain optimal coverage (estimated at 95% by the WHO) against the viral infection. France made as to it the figure of a poor student. Although the two doses that must be injected in order for the vaccine to be effective are recommended for a long time, and mandatory for children born from January 2018, only 79% of infants have received in 2017.

But what is the measles? What are the symptoms? And how is it treated? Let's look at it together. Infectious disease measles is a disease which is particularly infectious, one of the world's most contagious, caused by a virus of the genus Morbillivirus of the family Paramyxovirus, which is going to be in our organs and tissues. Once you contract measles, it leaves an immunity that lasts throughout our life. The transmission of the virus occurs via the air (coughing, sneezing, or talking), and it is contagious until 4 days after onset of rash on the body. The incubation period vary from 7 to 18 days. Symptoms of The measles, during the incubation period, shows different symptoms such as fever, dry cough, colds, conjunctivitis for the first 4-5 days, after which appear the rash maculo-papulose that go from the neck and from the head to the rest of the body. In some cases, the fever can rise again and, after 5-6 days, starting from the neck, the eruptions begin to disappear. Diagnosis and treatment The diagnosis of measles is based on the anamnesis and the clinical examination performed by the clinician on the patient and, in case of doubt, can be confirmed by blood tests. As to the care, there is no one specific: rest, bland diet with plenty of sugars and liquids are what you need. Prevention The prevention of measles is based on the specific vaccine that is administered in two phases: between 13 and 15 months and then between 5 and 6 years. For the adults instead of the two doses are administered 4 weeks. The more serious cases The measles, in severe cases, it can lead to ear infections, pneumonia, bronchopneumonia, diarrhea, laryngitis, and laringotracheiti. But the worst is the encephalitis/encephalomyelitis, infection of the brain and spinal cord, which occurs in a case of 1000, 10% of the times it is fatal in 20-40% of cases can lead to consequences at the neurological level.

For this reason, the mayor, and oblige the citizens to get vaccinated. But also in Europe, that measles is on the rise With approximately 285 people affected by last October to today, in New York, the epidemic of measles. To bring it back in a document are the Centres for disease control and prevention (Cdc) in the us. In the face of these data, New York city mayor Bill De Blasio has declared a state of public health emergency and has requested the mandatory vaccination in the four most affected areas. In practice, in the districts most affected by measles, unvaccinated persons must receive the trivalent vaccine against measles, mumps and rubella (Mpr). And those who will not carry out the vaccination will need to pay a fine of one thousand dollars. The epidemic in numbers, From January 1 to April 4, 2019 with the Cdc have noted, as well 465 cases of measles in 19 states: it is the second most-wide epidemic since 2000, according to data from the Cdc. The city of New York is certainly the most impressed with 285 cases, of which the majority is concentrated in Brooklyn, the most populous borough of New York, and in Queens, the second for the population of the city. In particular, the community of orthodox jews has been one of the most affected of New York, as reported in the document. The order of compulsory measles is contagious and can be dangerous, especially for infants and children: one person in four has to be hospitalized, one in a thousand goes to an inflammation of the brain (an encephalitis) that may also damage permanently the brain and from one to two in a thousand die from measles. The only prevention is vaccination. For all these reasons, the April 9, 2019, the health authorities in the united states have issued an order, directed to all the people who live in specific areas of New York, mentioned in the document with the postal code, with which they must be vaccinated if not vaccinated, and be able to demonstrate that, under penalty of a fine of 1000 euro. Measles in the Usa in the United States measles is a disease that rarely manifests, and that it was eradicated for years. Measles was declared eliminated from Usa in 2000, a watershed year, all thanks to vaccination campaigns. However, 2014 has seen the revival of many outbreaks, and have been detected in 23 outbreaks with a total of 667 cases of measles. The return of measles in the United States is due to the decline of vaccination. In particular, the two basic factors are the trips abroad and the absence of the vaccine: most of the people who contracted measles were not vaccinated. An epidemic is also present in Italy, associated with the decline of vaccinations in the past few years. Measles in Europe, But the increase of measles also affects Europe, which, for example, from 2016 to 2017 has recorded a 400% of the cases. Italy was first, with 5000 reports of measles, in spite of this, however, in our country, the outbreaks follow a decreasing trend. And even in 2018, the situation was not better: there were almost 83 million people affected in Europe, and 72 deaths, according to data from the world health Organization. The reasons for this epidemic are multiple, according to the Who: from the overall decline in the vaccination coverage usual, which concerned in particular the social groups most marginalized, the interruption in the supply of vaccination and the reduction of attention to the surveillance systems of the diseases. But there are also lights, in addition to the shadows: in 2018, you record the highest ever number of children vaccinated in Europe. The data, apparently contradictory, can be explained by the fact that there are groups growing population that does not vaccinate, as told by the Who, who have contributed to the case record. In Italy, after the decline of the vaccination coverage in 2016, the vaccinations have increased after the law has imposed the obligation. However, there are still several outbreaks of measles, involving mainly groups of non-vaccinated. In 2019, for example, from 1 January to 28 February, have been reported 331 cases, especially in Lombardy and in Lazio, according to the latest report of the Iss. Among these, 26% had some complication, 21 people have developed pneumonia and one had an encephalitis.

"3532","Doctor about measles-compulsory vaccination ""are The proponents of hysterical"" The Bremer family doctor, Günther Egidi holds it is right to immunize against measles. The now-resolved introduction of a vaccination he rejects. taz: Mr. Egidi, what do you think of the measles vaccination? Günther Egidi: That parents need to pay 2,500 Euro fine if they let their children not to be vaccinated is a strong violation of personality rights. In addition, a compulsory vaccination may destroy the relationship of trust between doctor and Patient. You need very good arguments to have such a duty to enforce and are not given the measles just. Why not? In 2018, we had cases of 500 measles per year one to two deaths. Of an epidemic Situation you can't talk there. The measles are a major Problem worldwide, but not in Germany. Many vaccinated: 97 percent of all children are unique vaccination, 93 percent have received the Vaccine required a second vaccination. In addition, the majority of Unvaccinated young adults who were born after 1970. A vaccination for children would not relate to this group at all. You recommend to your Patient*inside a vaccination? Although I am a strict opponent of a mandatory vaccination against measles, I'm highly engaged when you Vaccinate! My Patient*interior, I recommend vaccinations, if I am of the opinion that the Benefit-to-risk Ratio is insufficient, i.e. if the Benefit weighs more than the potential harm. We rely on two critical sources: the ""medicine-telegram"" and the international research group ""Cochrane Collaboration."" What, in your opinion, better than a vaccination? Better than a compulsory financial rewards for Doctors, which have been vaccinated well would be. Thus, a competition would arise and the practices would have an incentive to inform well. If we are forced, however, and penalties to introduce the people in the Vaccinated compared to always be skeptical. Check the vaccination status of your Patient*systematically? Yes, that's what we do since 2006. Generally speaking, I recommend to everyone to be against Tetanus, diphtheria, Polio and whooping cough vaccination. In children, the vaccinations against HIB and Hepatitis B will be added. Other vaccinations I recommend to the risk: Old and very sick people should, for example, be vaccinated against influenza. According to the self-created criteria, many are fully vaccinated. You will meet in your practice at all on opponents*inside? Of course. I note that they are opponents and accept it. The number is, but if it comes up, at just two percent. This is such a low number that it is disease-hygienic problems. Such people have fear of vaccine damage. Can you understand the Fears, the voice of the people? The Fears of a measles vaccination, I can not understand, because it definitely helps more than it harms. But I can understand that Patient*be suspicious if you notice that there is a great interest of the corporations. There was the very bad Situation that the standing Committee on vaccination of the medical Profession was heavily contaminated with members of pharmaceutical companies. The penultimate Chairman of the Committee on vaccination went directly to Novartis, a vaccine manufacturer. This has improved now considerably, but leads to scepticism. The people also see how many more vaccinations in Germany are added, while other European countries such as Switzerland or England for much back. Where no epidemics break out. According to the Federal centre for health education, the most common obstacle is for a measles vaccination lack of information: if you Have enough time to educate people? The capacity for dialogue are already there. Helpful brochures are a part of the work we delegate to our non-medical assistants. In my practice, in Huchting my advice as a doctor is enough surprisingly often. This may not be a practice in the district or oberneuland so. Since there are more anthroposophists, and you have more to discuss. What to tell your colleagues to vaccination? I think I'm in a filter bubble of rather critical-thinking Medical*inside. Some pediatricians are perhaps a little paternalistic, which may be in the nature of things: When it comes to children, we like to the capacity for rational thought. But I don't think many Hausärzt*apart, in so systematically with the topic. The Federal Minister of health, Jens Spahn, has been harvested in the German clinic of this type applause storms. A substantive discussion was no longer possible. Opponents are described in the current debate, often as loud and hysterical as you see it? If one is, according to currently, then the Spahn and co., so the Impfapologeten are. The German society for General medicine and family medicine, in whose Bureau I sit, has created a highly differentiated position paper. I don't have the feeling that we can get through this. Certainly not to the Minister. The supporters will definitely become hysterical. All the criteria for hysteria are given: It is said that the number of cases has doubled, not to mention that declined the measles cases in the long-term view since 2006.

The answer comes from the director-general of Prevention, Ranieri War: ""The epidemic is due to poor vaccine coverage"" “to Say that it is normal to generate epidemics of measles in cycles-annual, is a nonsense. No epidemic is expected to occur to the achievement of the threshold of cover indicated by the national plan. What is happening is due to lowering of the same. There is a way to prevent them, and vaccinated everyone.“ This is the director general of Prevention, Ministry of Health, Ranieri War, that is a replica of a note issued by the Movement 5 stars on the increase of 230% in a year of cases of measles in Italy. The deputies M5s in the Social Affairs committee, and the chairman of the group pentastellato to the Room, Andrea Cecconi, had asked the minister Beatrice Lorenzin to exclude “before it creates a panic situation, that the cases that are happening these days are divergent with respect to the cycle of the peaks of this disease. This in order to better substantiate the situation of alarm that is coming to determine that the same Lorenzin is not contributing to the limit”. The parliamentarians cited the last year's data published on the website of the ministry, who explained how the measles is a disease that is endemo-epidemic that presents “spikes in outbreaks every 3-4 years“. The response of the minister came today with the statements of the director general of the Prevention: “The trend of measles in the population with vaccination coverage is insufficient to stop the transmission, as happens, unfortunately, in Italy, and for this reason the world health Organization to keep us under observation for two years) is, in fact, in cycles, determined by the accumulation of a sufficient number of individuals not immunized and therefore susceptible. When this number becomes high enough to allow the circulation of the virus, the infection expands until it is limited by the immune barriers of those who have been vaccinated.” And the threshold of coverage of 95% is, in fact, the limit of balance that prevents the spread of the virus.",1673,"italy"

Among the emergency measures taken included an immunization campaign general compulsory and closure of schools. But it was not enough to contain the epidemic in a country that is particularly vulnerable, given the low rate of vaccination (31%). Jose Hagan, head of the WHO region Western Pacific, was of the view that the case of Samoa, pointed out the dangers associated with what is ""probably the disease the more contagious that we know of"". ""Unfortunately, the case-fatality rate of measles is much higher than what people believe"", he told Radio New Zealand. ""This is a serious disease and we are more accustomed to see, then his death is a source of surprise."" Mr. Hagen recalled that there were an estimated 21 million the number of lives saved over the past 20 years by the access to the vaccine against measles. ""But we're starting to see a decline and there are homes around the world, in fact that the virus is spread through international travel"", he said. The number of cases is increasing in Europe. Great Britain, Greece, Albania or the Czech Republic lost in August, their status as countries where measles has been eradicated. The disease characterized by eruption of red spots on the skin is caused by a virus that spreads very easily by direct contact or in the air. Before the arrival of the vaccines in the 1970s, she was a killer in the world, 7 to 8 million children per year. After a dramatic decline between 2000 and 2016, thanks to vaccination campaigns, the measles is now a strong resurgence in the world, especially because of a distrust of vaccines. This distrust of the combined vaccine Measles-Mumps-Rubella (MMR) vaccine was triggered by a 1998 study that linked the vaccine and autism. It has, however, been established quickly that its author had falsified his results, and several studies have since shown that the vaccine did not increase the risk of autism, has repeatedly emphasized the WHO.",1667,"france"

After the epidemic of measles in the area of Rimini, where were registered more than 40 cases since December, the local health authority has taken steps in these days to notify fines to parents of children and young people are not vaccinated. There are at least fifteen of the high penalties for many families, fined by the health company on the basis of the law Lorenzin. That provides, as is well known, the minutes from a minimum of 100 euros to a maximum of 500 for all pupils from 6 to 16 years of age and not the rule with the vaccines, and the suspension of kindergartens and nursery schools for the kids in the band that goes from 0 to 6 years. ALSO READ about Vaccines, and death threats to the mayor of Rimini Ausl has used the hard punch, especially with the families of children and youth who have contracted the measles, having regard to the many cases that have occurred this year. The fine I got home no-vax is 166,66 euro plus the costs of notification, for a total amount of 181 euro and dimes for every minutes. The measures are political parties, in several cases, after the reports of the doctors of the base and those of pediatrics of the hospital ‘Sick’ of Rimini. The local health authority, after having ascertained ""the absence of the conditions of exemption from vaccines"", the repeated reminders for vaccinations and ""no-show"" families to appointments with the healthcare company after the first talks, resorted to sanctions. But for the children of nurseries and kindergartens is not enough to pay the fine, to continue to send their children to school. As a specific, in fact, the same healthcare company in the report, ""the payment of the penalty does not allow, however, the regular attendance of children in nursery schools and in nursery schools"", as is provided by law Lorenzin. For pupils of elementary, middle and high school instead, since it is the school's obligation, there can be no suspension from school support services. Parents who have received the minutes have thirty days to appeal against fines made by the local health authority, through its legal. And many will, or have already done so. Different families of rimini, gave the mandate to the lawyer from rimini Luca Ventaloro, legal Comilva (the coordination of the movement for freedom of vaccination). The first step will be to submit a statement of defence, with a request for a hearing to the Ausl.

"1974","More than 140 000 people died of measles last year, according to a report that the world health Organization (WHO) has published on Thursday. This is 15 % of the fatal cases more than in 2017, note Science and future. A shame when an effective vaccine exists since 50 years old against this highly contagious illness that mostly affects children aged less than 5 years. Babies and very young children are most at risk of contracting measles, with potential complications, such as pneumonia and encephalitis (swelling of the brain), as well as a lifelong disability permanent brain damage, blindness or hearing loss. Vaccination rates have stagnated, However, the rate of vaccination in the world have been stagnating for nearly a decade. WHO and UNICEF estimate that 86 % of the world's children received the first dose of measles vaccine as part of routine immunization services of their countries in 2018, and less than 70 % had received the second recommended dose, according to WHO. In 2018, the most affected countries are those with the incidence rate of measles the most high were Liberia, Madagascar, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Somalia and the Ukraine. These five countries accounted for nearly half of the cases of measles in the world. France is concerned that without vaccination, in France also, this disease is growing. Measles had virtually disappeared from the territory 10 years ago. At the end of February, the child of a couple of French tourists was reintroduced in Costa Rica, where the last imported case was in 2014. The 5 year old boy, who reportedly contracted the virus in france, was not vaccinated.",1657,"france"
"5113","AN OUTBREAK OF measles has been confirmed in north Dublin, the HSE has said.  The organisation said this is a community outbreak of measles affecting both adults and children. There have been five cases since the start of February.  The HSE has advised people who think they have the condition to stay at home and to contact their general practitioner for advice.  Measles is a highly infectious illness and spreads very easily. There was another outbreak, in Donegal, earlier this year.  Seven of the 25 cases of measles reported to the HSE to date in 2019 relate to the outbreak in Donegal. Overall, 13 of the 25 cases have been confirmed, eight are possible and four are probable.  There were 77 reported cases, including 73 confirmed cases, of measles in Ireland last year, up from 25 cases in 2017. Provisional figures had previously indicated there were 86 cases, but this number was revised downwards by the HSE.  Globally, 98 countries reported more cases of measles in 2018 than the previous year. There were at least 72 measles-related deaths in Europe in 2018, up from 42 in 2017, but none in Ireland.  Unicef has warned that this “alarming” global surge is “a growing threat to children“.  “This is a wake-up call. We have a safe, effective and inexpensive vaccine against a highly contagious disease – a vaccine that has saved almost a million lives every year over the last two decades,” Peter Power, UNICEF Ireland’s Executive Director, said last week.  These cases haven’t happened overnight. Just as the serious outbreaks we are seeing today took hold in 2018, lack of action today will have disastrous consequences for children tomorrow.  It’s understood that all the confirmed cases to date this year relate to people who have not been vaccinated. In 2018, about seven in 10 of the confirmed cases involved people who were not vaccinated.  In a statement released today, the Health Protection Surveillance Centre (HPSC) said all individuals “should be aware of their measles immunity status before travel (either immune from infection or being vaccinated with the correct number of doses for their age) and seek MMR vaccination (if appropriate) to ensure protection against measles while away”.  Measles symptoms include:  High fever  Cough  Runny nose  Red eyes  Red rash that starts on the head and spreads down the body – this normally starts a few days after onset of illness; the rash consists of flat red or brown blotches, which can flow into each other; it lasts about four to seven days  Vomiting, diarrhoea and tummy pain may also happen  The Department of Health gives the following advice in relation to the MMR vaccine:  All children should get the MMR vaccine when they are aged 12 months; if any child aged over 12 months has missed this vaccine they should get it now from their GP  All children should get a second dose of MMR vaccine when they are four to five years old or in junior infants at school; if any child in senior infants or older has missed this vaccine they should get it now from their GP  Adults under 40 years who have not had measles or have not received two doses of MMR vaccine should contact their GP to get the MMR vaccine  Adults over 40 years of age may sometimes be at risk and if such adults never had measles nor a measles containing vaccine they should consider getting the MMR vaccine from their GP  Measures to prevent the spread of measles if you think you may have the condition:  Do not go to work, school or creche  Stay at home and phone your GP; tell the doctor or nurse that you think you might have measles  Stop visitors coming to your home  Pregnant women who have been exposed to measles should seek medical advice as soon as possible  Risk of measles from international travel:  There are ongoing outbreaks of measles in multiple countries in Europe and worldwide. Most of the cases in the EU in 2018 were reported from Romania, France, Greece and Italy.  Most people who get measles on holiday do not know they were exposed until they develop disease, the HSE said. Unrecognised exposures to measles have occurred at airports, on planes, at concerts, in shops and in healthcare settings.  Advice for people travelling abroad:  Vaccination remains the most effective measure against infection. Children aged six-11 months who are travelling to other countries and regions where measles outbreaks have been reported are recommended to get the MMR vaccine.  A dose given before 12 months of age does not replace the dose that would normally be given at 12 months of age, the HSE advised.  Older children should be age-appropriately vaccinated. Children who have missed their recommended doses should get the MMR vaccine from their GP.  Adults may be at risk of measles, particularly those under 40 years of age who have never had measles or two doses of a measles vaccine.

Only vaccination offers sufficient or not sufficient protection for About 80,000 children under ten years of age vaccinated in Austria. Protection from infection but a vaccination: Wassermann-Neuhold appealed to parents to let themselves and their children vaccinated - just because contagions can be avoided in infants. It should come to a measles is suspected, patients should seek out not full out-patient departments and surgeries, but to call ahead and inquire. Skeptics physicians hold that a child of 1,000 due to a measles illness, severe wear damage or lapse of heritage.

A woman non-vaccinated, aged 32 years and residing in Poitiers, died on February 10, of the measles. An epidemic is raging in New-Aquitaine since November 2017. ""This announcement reinforces the need for the entire population, to quickly check his vaccination, the only way to stop the epidemic,"" has emphasized regional Agency of health (ARS), New Aquitaine in a press release. Its responsible for the cell standby, alert and health management, dr Pascal Fabre, answers questions from The Express. In 2018, can we still die from measles in France? This is a case quite exceptional, it was not a recent case from the epidemic of 2008-2011, which had affected more than 20,000 people and caused 10 deaths. We have in mind that it is a childhood disease, but it is a disease that can reach the children as young adults. Measles is a serious disease, because it is a virus that can reach the lung parenchyma [lung tissue] and to destroy parts of the lungs. It can also reach the brain cells and lead to encephalopathies, leading to large deficits neurological. It is a disease that has no treatment. There are symptomatic treatments you can reduce the temperature or lower the pain, but we can't treat the disease in the proper sense of the term. How does an epidemic? An epidemic is the result of the concomitance of two factors: the extreme contagiousness of this virus-a sick person can infect 20 other people - and a lack of immunization coverage. The epidemic develops when it affects groups at very low rates and one can imagine that in this particular case, she started on the university campus of Bordeaux, [the first cases were reported last fall], where students may be less attentive to their vaccination status. READ ALSO >> Soon 11 vaccines required for children? ""We have no choice"" In many parts of France, the rates of vaccination do not exceed 80% and, in this configuration, there will always be two or three individuals who might be susceptible and the disease is spread. What to do if one has been in contact with a sick person? Or if you have self-doubt? If he has been in contact with someone who has measles, the first reflex is to go and see his doctor to see if it is properly vaccinated. If you're not, you have four days to receive the first dose of the vaccine [the second one can be done one to six months after]. When we self-same the measles, the symptoms are first discreet: it has a runny nose, a bit of temperature, it's going to cough a little and by the fifth day, we will have this rash of buttons that is characteristic. You should know that in this case, there has been a contaminant for her during the previous days. So this must in turn verify the vaccination status. We may add that, if one has a doubt for oneself, it is necessary to have a knee-jerk citizen, and bring her doctor home to avoid the waiting rooms. You should also avoid public transport and going out in the community spaces to minimize the risk of contamination. You can also wear a mask. The obligation of vaccination against measles for children (now part of 11 mandatory vaccinations) you seems to be a good measure? I am intimately and medically totally convinced. There is a vaccine that is of a total harmlessness, that is the only way to avoid drama or complications. It is also important to understand that the act of vaccination is an individual act, but also collective, because vaccination induces a group effect.

""That's what matters. Measles doesn't care what your cultural heritage is.""  Many of these communities are wary of government, avoid television and the Internet, and often rely on their own clinicians for medical care. In such a void, anti-vaccine misinformation has sometimes gained a foothold, deterring parents from fully vaccinating their children.  The traveller had come from Israel last November to Brooklyn, the epicentre of a measles outbreak, and stayed for about two months before going on to the Detroit area in early March, said Russell Faust, Oakland County's medical officer. The man, whom Michigan health officials are not identifying, told them he was visiting ultra-Orthodox communities in the United States to raise money for charity.  Feverish and coughing after his arrival, he saw a doctor, who prescribed antibiotics.  When the man called back to complain of a rash the next day, the doctor thought he was having an allergic reaction. But after the doctor thought more about it, he worried about the possibility of measles and decided to leave a voice message for the health department with the man's cellphone number. Health officials jumped on the case - but couldn't reach the man because of a problem with his cellphone.  They turned to Steve McGraw, head of Oakland emergency medical services and longtime member of the Detroit-area Hatzalah, the ultra-Orthodox community's emergency medical response group, an all-volunteer effort with deep ties to many families. Mr McGraw alerted rabbinical leaders, then jumped in his car and drove to the area the traveller was supposed to be staying to look for the man's rental car, a blue sedan, knowing it would stand out among the minivans used by virtually every family.

Log in to update your newsletter preferences Register with your social account or click here to log in I would like to receive morning headlines Monday - Friday plus breaking news alerts by email Update newsletter preferences  Hatzalah members and rabbinical leaders also mobilised to search for the traveller, who was staying in a neighbourhood guesthouse. When they found him a few hours later, the traveller was stunned. He told Mr McGraw and the rabbi who found him that they had to be wrong since he believed he had had the measles.  ""There is only one disease, and you have it,"" Mr McGraw recalled saying, as one rabbi translated into Hebrew. ""He put his head down and was very emotional. I could tell from the look on his face that he was devastated. He was doing the math in his head,"" counting all the people he had been in contact with, Mr McGraw said.  The traveller, as it turned out, had had hundreds of contacts with community members that health officials needed to trace. He had stayed mostly in private homes in the areas of Oak Park and Southfield. He had visited synagogues three times a day to pray and study and frequented kosher markets and pizza parlours, among 30 locations in one week.  ""This guy was walking around all over the community and contagious,"" Mr McGraw said. ""We knew we had a really significant exposure.""  Measles virus is so infectious that if an unvaccinated person walks through a room up to two hours after someone with measles has left, there's a 90 percent chance the unvaccinated person will get sick. People can spread measles for four days before and four days after the telltale rash. Because measles is so infectious, at least 96 percent or more of a community need to be vaccinated to prevent risk of outbreak.  On 13 March, blood tests confirmed the traveller's measles. The strain matched the genetic fingerprint of the New York City outbreak, Mr McGraw said. The same day, health officials alerted the public.  To get information out to the ultra-Orthodox community, health officials used its internal messaging system known as a calling post. Recorded voice messages ring on about 1,200 mobile phones. Mr McGraw recorded a message that rabbinical leaders approved for delivery, the first of several that provided information about the disease and vaccination clinics.  Over the next few weeks, Janet Snider, a paediatrician for many ultra-Orthodox families, and Gedalya Cooper, an emergency medicine doctor, both members of the Hatzalah, visited people in their homes to diagnose and test them for measles.  The Council of Orthodox Rabbis of Greater Detroit issued an unequivocal statement, saying Jewish law obligated every community member to be ""properly and fully vaccinated"" according to the CDC. The agency recommends children get two measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) doses, starting with the first dose at age 12 through 15 months and the second dose at age 4 through 6 years.  ""In order to protect and safeguard each and every individual within the larger community, every individual, family and institution must take the necessary precautions against anyone who chooses not to be vaccinated,"" the statement said.  The Hatzalah and rabbinical leaders helped the health department set up three clinics at one synagogue, immunising nearly 1,000 people in one week. As of early April, health officials have given more than 2,100 vaccinations. Vaccine refusal does not appear to be a major factor in the Oakland County cluster, officials said.  In Michigan, at least, the close collaboration between health officials and the religious community appears to have controlled the spread of the disease, which can cause severe complications including deafness, pneumonia, brain damage and death.  Now, with 555 measles cases in 20 states - the highest in five years - other localities are looking at that model. Hatzalah groups in other parts of the country are reaching out to county officials for advice on boosting vaccination within the ultra-Orthodox community, Mr Faust said.  Oakland County had something else going for it: Measles outbreaks typically start with children. But Patient Zero had spent most of his time with adults, and most of the 39 cases are in adults. Many adults who got sick had believed they were immune, as some had been told they had the disease as children or were vaccinated.  ""There are a fair number of non-immunised or under-immunised adults,"" said Mr Faust, the medical officer. Some of the adults infected also were born before 1957, when most people caught measles and are thought to have natural immunity.  Officials said that the risk remains high for those who are unvaccinated or under-vaccinated and who travel to communities here or abroad where measles cases are raging.  Gaps in vaccination coverage have led to a 20-year high in measles cases in Europe. Major outbreaks also are taking place in parts of the Middle East, Southeast Asia and Japan. More than 1,200 people have died in Madagascar. With spring break and summer vacations approaching, travellers visiting European countries with outbreaks, such as France and Italy, have a much higher chance of bringing infections back to ""islands or pockets of vulnerability,"" said Saad Omer, an infectious disease expert at Emory University.  ""Measles is a very unforgiving disease,"" he said. ""Even if most people are vaccinated, that number may not be high enough.""  The Washington Post",1610,"uk"
"26100","What is the measles? Measles is a viral infections the most contagious. This is usually a benign disease but in some cases it can be severe or even life-threatening. What are the symptoms? The initial symptoms are high fever, conjunctivitis, a large production of mucus, and cough. A day or two later, they appear in small white spots on the inside of the mouth. And in between the third and the seventh day there is a red patch, usually on the face, spreads later to the trunk and to the members of the interior design. At the end of the first week, is a scaly, thin and all over the skin. The symptoms appear to be between ten to 12 days after infection and can last from seven to ten days. How it is transmitted? Measles is transmitted by air through coughing and sneezing of an infected person. It can also be transmitted through contact with the saliva or nasal secretions. It is less common, but it can also happen that the transmission is to occur through contact with products that are infected with the secretions from the nasal or pharyngeal the patient. When you are sending? Four days before they go to the spots on your skin, the virus can be passed on. Typically, the time period for transmission that ends in four days after they appear, the stains, and the risk is minimal after the second day. Measles can kill? In rare cases, measles can lead to serious consequences and even lead to death. These complications may be the result of a bacterial infection and develop into an otitis, a pneumonia, a laringotraqueobronquite (croup), convulsions, febrile and swelling of the brain. But all three of us were not free from measles? The disease was eradicated in the Uk since the end of 2016. But, as of January 2017 at the earliest, Portugal has the greatest number of cases of measles, that in ten years ' time. And in four months was confirmed, according to the DGS, 21 cases. Between 2006 and 2014, have been recorded in 19 cases. The occurrence of an outbreak of measles in some european countries, due to the presence of communities of non-vaccinated, Portugal is at an increased risk. The disease came back, because there are parents who don't vaccinate their children. Even so, in the Uk, the rate of vaccination is over 95% in the people aged 7 to 18 years of age or older. Now, seven confirmed cases and more than thirty can be found there lead them to the DGS to declare a new flare-up. As a prevention? Through the site of the vaccination. The vaccination is free of charge and is available to all of the people here in the Uk, as it accounts for the DGS. Parents can vaccinate their children, at what age? The National Programme on Immunization recommend the vaccination of two doses at 12 months of age and at the age of five. For the vaccine to be mandatory? No. As is the case with other vaccines, the vaccine that prevents measles, it is not required. There are rare cases of people who, for medical reasons, cannot be vaccinated. And then there are the cases of parents who don't vaccinate their children for other reasons as well. In the case of a denial, the health centers require parents to sign a waiver of responsibility, and this information is recorded in the form of a child. But the kids don't need to be vaccinated to enroll in school. The school has a very important role in the control of the shot. Usually, and as far as the public schools, and the monitoring of the immunization card is due at the time of entry into the pool of the school. The newsletter is back in demand with changes in the cycle. But it's not a vaccine is not mandatory, the reality is that the public schools can't, by law, to refuse to admit children who were not vaccinated. In the private schools, which require the bulletin to-day. In the case of the registration of a child is not vaccinated, it will usually order the parents, a medical certificate or a statement of responsibility. The disease can arise in people who get it? Yes, but with a clinical picture more mild and less contagious. The DGS has indicated that the vaccination is the principal measure of prevention. So, why is it that there are parents who don't vaccinate their children? There are parents who do not want their children to be vaccinated. The rise of the anti-vaccination and it began with the publication of a study in the journal The Lancet, at the end of the 90's, which, however, it was not considered to be fraudulent. The author of the study, the surgeon and the canadian Andrew Wakefield, stated that there was an alleged link between the administration of the mmr vaccine (measles, mumps, rubella) and autism. The theory has been struck by another piece of research published in the British Medical Journal that found in the study ""fraud is cool'. On the Advice of the General the british took the view that Wakefield had acted unethically and dishonestly as he used children, who have been selected for a law firm that was defending a couple who wanted to sue a pharmaceutical manufacturer. In the journal The Lancet, came to apologize for the publication of the article in 1998. There are also parents who forget to vaccinate their children because they have lost their perception of risk. ""If you saw the disease, which came to be disposed of, there is a risk of failing to continue the protection of the children. The article was originally written at the time of the outbreak of measles which occurred in the fall of 2017, and revised.",1608,"portugal"
"1980","Donald Trump at the White House, on April 26. JONATHAN ERNST / REUTERS the Face of the epidemic of measles that hit the United States, the president, Donald Trump has had to abandon its position antivaccin. He insisted, Friday, 26 April, on the importance of vaccination so that his country faces the worst outbreak of the disease since its removal official in 2000. ""They need to vaccinate, it is very important,"" said Mr. Trump in the gardens of the White House. Since the 1st of January, the United States have reported 695 cases of measles, which is 2019, the worst year since 2000, when the highly contagious disease was declared eliminated from the country. Read the investigation : activists antivaccins use social networks to spread their ideas If the epidemic in the United States remains much lower than that experienced in Ukraine (25 000 cases), Madagascar (46, 000 cases), or other poorer countries, it distracts the health authorities. It illustrates the vulnerability of certain pockets of the population in which many parents have not vaccinated their children, by choice or laxity, taking advantage of laws allowing exemptions for religious reasons, personal or "" philosophical "". The health emergency has been declared by the local authorities in several cities. In New York, the mayor has made the vaccination mandatory in the districts, the epicenters of the epidemic. As a precaution, two universities in Los Angeles, California, have released the quarantine of hundreds of students : all those who were found in the same places that the two comrades are infected, and who did not have proof of vaccination. ""The children are not horses,"" Donald Trump has been forced to change its rifle of shoulder. In the past, he had indeed made the happiness of the activists antivaccins, taking up massive amounts of theories expressed doubts about the safety of these products and suggesting that some of these could cause the disorders of the autism spectrum. Of the claims denied by the medical authorities on the basis of many studies. Read our decryption : vaccines are they really dangerous for the health ? ""A young healthy child goes to the doctor, receives a massive injection of many vaccines, doesn't feel good and changes – AUTISM. Many cases of this kind ! "", tweeted about, for example, in march 2014. ""Stop the infusions. Small children are not horses – one vaccine at a time, over time, "" he wrote in September of that same year. ""I'm not against vaccinations for your children, I am against injections of vaccine in a large dose. Spread over a long period, and autism will be reduced "", he stressed at the time. In a televised debate for the republican primaries in 2015, the candidate that Trump had announced that it wants to change the plan of vaccination of children. ""Autism has become an epidemic,"" he said again. Meeting with"" prominent activists antivaccins ""Prior to his election, in 2016, Mr. Trump had even met with"" four prominent activists antivaccins at a fundraiser in Florida "", reminds The Independent. Among them, Andrew Wakefield, author of a scientific study published in 1998 in the Lancet... and which turned out to be totally bogus. The Lancet has since withdrawn the article and apologized for having published this "" scientific fraud "". The british doctor has been struck off. Arguments are often picked up by the antivaccins, the relationship between autism and vaccines has never been proven scientifically. Although all of the factors that promote the disorder of autism is not, at present, fully known, at least five independent studies have ruled out any link with vaccines. In addition, as noted by the world health Organisation in a document published in 2006, the hypothesis that vaccines, as they are currently used, weaken or damage the immune system is not accredited by the facts. In 2002, a study published in the journal Pediatrics concluded that "" current studies do not support the assumptions on which the multivalent vaccines submergeraient, weaken, or would the immune system "". In 2003, a other, focusing specifically on the case of the MMR vaccine (measles, mumps, rubella), published in the British Medical Journal, lead to the same conclusions.

Also the reason why the measles occur suddenly again clenched, still needs to be clarified. Who or where the source of infection is, in the three reported cases, however, is not known. The Deputy head of the Department of health, Sigrid Maaßen says, compared to the Badische Zeitung.

Another myth is that some children become autistic because of vaccination. But never scientifically confirmed it wasn't. ""Take, how many children, who go to vaccination, have a reaction, they stop talking, worse health status, are autistic. My kids got vaccinations, but I was afraid of what that will be,"" wrote another woman.

The most common manifestations are of a higher temperature to a fever, or nausea, or soreness at the injection site. ""For every action there is a reaction. The same is true for vaccination.

"1521","TV 2 has got the expert to answer some of the many comments that parents have received from supporters and opponents of the MMR vaccine. - You will follow the childhood immunisation programme for your child? I hope so. This was the oprabet Wednesday on the Facebook from the 31-year-old Fie Vogel and 38-year-old Niels Vogel. Their 14-month-old daughter, Merle Vogel, got the same day found the measles after eight days with feberkramper and with his mother's words, a ”tough and hard course”. - Merle is infected with measles, which could be avoided if YOU put you better into things and look beyond your own selfish beliefs. For we may as well agree that it is not for your child's sake, you drop the vaccine and replace it with speltboller and organic quinoa?, wrote Fie Vogel, who is the mother of two and the daily work as a nurse, among other things, its Facebook lookup. Merle Vogel was hit by virussygdommen just a month before, she, as part of the childhood immunisation programme had the MMR vaccination. She is the recent case of a total of nine in the current outbreak of measles, which, among other things, three small children have been diagnosed with measles. Comments about sick children make an impression the Parents lookup has at the time of writing annotated 871 times, and although the majority of the comments is about support for the parents and good helbredsonsker for the little girl, there is also vaccinemodstandere who disagree that all children need the MMR vaccination, such as Fie and Niels Vogel beats the drum for. People mix the information together Jan Pravsgaard Christensen, professor, immunology and microbiology Niels Vogel tells to TV 2, that the parents are well aware that they stuck the nose forward, and that they would also get beaten up for their lookup. Anyway, it comes behind on them, how much attention their ads have gotten and how much people comment on each other's comments. - It has surprised us very much. In a period of time we had to say to each other that we would not look at the comments more, but one can nevertheless not help. We would like to thank you for your positive comments, but we would also be in dialogue with those who don't agree with us, says Merle Vogels father. And there are many people who disagree with the Vogel family. Among other things, write more, that their children have become seriously ill after the vaccine. Comments like those make an impression on the parents. - It makes me really sad to hear that someone is harmed by the vaccine. I would have it in the same way, if we had experienced the same thing, but fortunately – according to what I know – so it's limited compared to how many that can take damage by not getting the vaccine. We have, in turn, seen a very sick little girl, and it is also not fun. Big sister running around with a doll's pram, In spite of the many harsh comments, which also fall in the vacancy announcement, regret Niels Vogel is not the couple's wake-up call. Nevertheless, there are things that the couple regret – the commentary on the speltboller and organic quinoa, which is more in the advertisement criticizes as biased. - Some of our words were written in frustration. There are many ways to write a lookup on, and it is not always that we just when to plan it completely. We had enough to hit sharper, if we had chosen some other words, says Niels Vogel. Merle Vogel is Saturday in recovery, but must be followed closely the coming ten days. It happens among other things by staff at the Copenhagen university Hospital in Roskilde, daily calling his parents up to hear how the one-year girl has it. - Merle has still a little difficult to walk, and we have been told that we should be aware, if it gets worse. Right now running her sister's on button four her around in a small doll's pram – in fact it is very sweet. And we have got to know that she probably escape without lasting harm, says Niels Vogel. Expert review comments TV 2 read all of the comments to the Fie and Niels Vogels lookup. In several of them will be presented the things that people call facts about the MMR vaccine and measles – something that, according to others, however, is not facts, but rather ignorance or myths. It applies, among other things, on the newly vaccinated can infect the non-vaccinated, and whether there is aluminum in the MMR vaccine. TV 2 has presented several of the comments for one of Denmark's leading experts in the field of immunology and microbiology, Jan Pravsgaard Christensen, who is a professor at the University of Copenhagen, denmark. He emphasises that misconceptions about vaccines often occur, because you mix vaccines together. You can't compare, for example, the MMR vaccine with the HPV vaccine. He also calls for critics. - People mix the information together – the information they can get via the internet and Facebook. One has to distinguish very carefully between, for instance, the website of Statens Serum Institut, and if you fall over something at random on the internet who are arguing for one's case. When something supports one's point, then one is perhaps not so critical approach to second-as it should be, says Jan Pravsgaard Christensen to TV 2. Jan Pravsgaard Christensen's response to the comments from Facebook will appear under each lookup including: Can vaccinated be carriers? ANSWER: It does not apply maslingerne. Some of the vaccines we use do not keep the whole life. It applies, among other things, the vaccine against diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis-polio-hib (DiTeKiPol), which only protects the children in ten years against the Di, Te and Ki, and where the subsequent can be a healthy carrier. But it has nothing to with the MMR vaccine to make. It is no use to take information from one vaccine and think that it applies to all vaccines. You look all the vaccines one, and it is the very big misunderstanding. Seems the vaccine at all? ANSWER: It is correct. There is a small percentage of them, to vaccinate, and there we understand why – do not make antibodies. They respond simply not on the vaccine. It is, therefore, to vaccinate three times against DiTeKiPol and two times against MMR. When you get vaccinated again, developer close to 100 percent of the vaccinated antibodies. It has always been – when I was a child, where everyone got measles, got one to two percent of a class of not measles. This means that some children – despite the vaccine can become infected against measles, until you get the second vaccine as a 4-year-old. You can only be 100% sure, if you have got it verified on a blood test. Can measles be eradicated? Update 29. march 2019: the Comment seems to have been deleted from Facebook after the article's release. The text of the comment was: - I think many do not know that measles will never be eradicated. So they sent all the anti-vaxx out on a deserted island, who is to blame for the infection? A vaccine will NEVER give 100% immunity and it is facts about, for or against. ANSWER: It is not correct. Measles can be eradicated. Measles is a virus that only infects humans. It's like with the cups – once the last person has had the disease or been vaccinated, then there is no place where the virus can hide itself. The idea occurs because there are different variants of measles – some can infect humans, and some can infect animal species. When we drive menneskevarianterne, there is no measles on the ground, for dyrevarianterne can not infect humans, as is the case with influenza, where the same virus exists in birds. In relation to whether a vaccine provides 100 percent immunity, is it correct that there is a small percentage, as the vaccine does not bite in the first place. They can, for example, defeat the vaccine too quickly, so the immune system is not when to discover that one has had measles. Therefore, vaccinating doctors several times. How many died of the measles before the vaccine? Update 29. march 2019: the Comment seems to have been deleted from Facebook after the article's release. The text of the comment was: - Niels Vogel I am from 1980. I would not, that my friends fell like flies or consequential damages. In fact, not one. Many of them got the measles and I have never had measles and has never been vaccinated. In the 15 years before the vaccine died one year by measles. One. The statistics returned the nothing about whether it is children, immuno-compromised ect. The point is just that the decline in measles, the death and the side-effects declined markedly of a different cause than vaccines. It I go out from that, you have researched a little on. In fact, due to feberkramper often provides a child with a high fever Panodil. You do not recommend, therefore, Panodil to maslingeramte children, as it can be one of the main reasons is that there will be serious complications. In addition, so recommend to high dose of A - and C-vitamin. It you can for example read about on the WHO's website, where they also write that 50 percent of deaths and serious complications resulting from measles can be avoided worldwide with high-dose vitamin. Well she is through it, and when the worst fear is over, then you can enjoy lifelong immunity, if nothing else. Some research also suggests that measles may protect against certain types of cancer. So if In need to look for something positive, then it is also. ANSWER: It is not correct. Before we got introduced bornevaccinen died in an average of 10 to 15 children each year by measles. If you look in Europe right now, where there is a big epidemic, there are also cases of more dead children in France, Ukraine and Germany because of measles. At the same time, yet another classic argument, that the decline in measles, the death and the side effects is decreased significantly by a second cause than vaccines. The reason is that there are more recipients and fewer sick. You can't prevent maslingesmitte with improved general health in the population, as experienced in the 1970s and 1980s. In relation to the A - and vitamin C is there made some studies in Africa that show that supplementing children with vitamin, while at the same time you vaccinate them, so they get a better effect of the vaccine and a lower risk of other diseases. But it can not replace a vaccine, and one must look at where in the world the attempt is made, namely the places where the children do not get enough vitamins. So the same effect will not experience in Northern europe. It is also a classic – when one is ill, one should eat A - and C-vitamin. It is not correct, and I would like to urge caution for vitamin C excretes in the urine, but with too much vitamin A, you get poisoning symptoms. I have never heard of research that suggests that measles may protect against certain types of cancer. The malnourished children who die of measles? ANSWER: It does not fit. There is a big maslingeudbrud, among others, Ukraine, Germany and France, where the children die. It is not children with poor health or nutritional status. It is a numbers game. When many become ill, succumbs more below. And the same would happen in Denmark. If there is 60,000 infected, as will 10 to 15 children die. There is aluminum in the vaccine? ANSWER: There is no aluminum in the MMR vaccine. There is aluminum in other vaccines, for example HPV and DiTeKiPol-the vaccines, dead vaccines. The dead vaccines must have something to stimulate the immune system as for example aluminum. But the MMR vaccine contains a live, weakened virus, and live vaccines should not have help to stimulate the immune system. In fact, it would be that if you absorbed the MMR vaccine on the aluminum, would destroy the vaccine, so it would not work. In relation to vaccineskader I can understand if some parents say that they are in a lottery where one can lose. But one must also look sober on it. When you have used vaccines in the 30 to 40 year and find one out of a million with a vaccineskade, then it's a lottery, you are almost sure to win. The vaccines are designed to cover the wide mass and not the individual, and therefore there will be some – but very few – who respond to the vaccine or the excipients of the and get a vaccineskade. Is there mercury in the vaccine? Update 25. march 2019: the Comment seems to have been deleted from Facebook after the article's release. The text of the comment was: - Niels Vogel. A small amount of measles virus, mixed with formaldehyde and mercury... Have you put yourself into what these things do to the body? Both parts are HIGHLY carcinogenic!! Have you wondered how it can be that we have so many children who are diagnosed with cancer today?? So many, that we begin, to build children's hospitals!! It was not necessary in the 70's. There was one sick with the measles in a week's time, and so had obtained lifelong immunity. So Yes.. It is perhaps the very fat, you don't have to take off from work a whole week to care for her ill child. But I honestly believe that there will be a cost of more sick days and parental leave for children with autism and cancer today than they were back then we just had the ordinary childhood diseases. ANSWER: None of the excipients is in the MMR vaccine. That more people have cancer today, one might not attribute to the vaccines. We have the vaccinated children since 1974 – they have grown up and become adults. It is, perhaps, more that we to a greater extent exposed to endocrine disruptors in our everyday lives, but it coincides in time, and therefore get the vaccines to blame. Is there a new type of measles? ANSWER: It does not fit. Measles occurs in the variants and the variants are so small, that we can recognize them from each other, so we know who has infected who. But the vaccine covers all variants. Helps vitamins for the prevention of measles? Update 25. march 2019: the Comment seems to have been deleted from Facebook after the article's release. The text of the comment was: - In the 70’s gave the A and C vitamin and a d vitamin drops for children are mandatory, because you knew it could help them naturally by disease, but now they earn money on vaccines, so is the natural health no matter. ANSWER: It is not correct. We gave our children cod liver oil instead of vitamin pills, but we did it in the phase in which our society developed and the population got better health status. Today children have so general good health, that you do not need to give cod liver oil or vitamins, because the children can get the vitamins through diet. Cod liver oil does not help against measles – in one way or another. Can nyvaccinerede infection with the measles? Update 29. march 2019: the Comment seems to have been deleted from Facebook after the article's release. The text of the comment was: - Good improvement with the girl. However, I would point out that there is a greater chance that she is infected by a child or an adult, which is nyvaccineret than an unvaccinated child. It is called “Shedding” and can last up to 20 days after vaccination. It is, therefore, one should not stay around nyvaccinerede, if you have immune defects. It is transmitted not with all sorts of rubbish, just because you are not vaccinated - they are no more “dirty” than other children. It is a strange myth that unfortunately too many go around and believe in. ANSWER: If you stick maslingevaccinen in the people and in addition, make sure that dry the skin, so there not sitting free maslingepartikler on the skin, so is the virus in the body and cannot spread the disease. Should it is quite unlikely to happen to an unvaccinated person becomes infected by a person who has just been vaccinated, so it corresponds to the person being vaccinated, for it is not the wild-type strain. So it would actually be good if it could be done for just the vaccinated to infection. Destroying vaccines the immune system? ANSWER: No. Vaccines does not destroy the natural immune system. The immune system reacts to the virus and the vaccine, in exactly the same way, and it is the same process that the body goes through. Why warn hospitals about nyvaccinerede? Update 25. march 2019: the Comment seems to have been deleted from Facebook after the article's release. The text of the comment was: - Niels Vogel. Are you familiar with that vaccinated children also spill over? On several kraftafdelinger is vaccinated children denied access just because smittefaren. So the likelihood of your children is infected by a vaccinated child is in fact greater, than that she should be infected by a child with measles. ANSWER: It is not correct. The weakened virus, as the healthy people to be vaccinated with spreads not from human to human. When you see photographs from, for example, neonatalafdelinger, it is because you go with both belt and braces. There is talk about very small children, who are born too early and can't handle even a few virus particles, because they have immune defects. The same applies to cancer patients. But if I'm vaccinated, can I infect ordinary people with sufficiently many particles to get sick",1566,"denmark"
"5482","Measles in the Lazio region continues to fear. After 2018, in which our turned out to be the second worst affected region of Italy, also for the first three months of this year, the numbers of the monthly report of the surveillance of the higher Institute of health, confirm the existence of an outbreak. On the 557 recorded in all of Italy, are already 138 cases confirmed (before there is only the Lombardy region, with 162), with high incidence: 93.6 per million of inhabitants, against a national average of 36.8. And the trend seems to be rising, considering that in January the infected by the virus have been 33, in February 37, while in march, the cases have nearly doubled, climbing to 68. The average age of sick people is around 30 years. What the stride is a high number of people infected with measles in the Lazio region, with the data that certifies a region of so much virtuous to vaccination coverage (after the insertion of the requirement for the range 0-6 years) by having vastly exceeded the threshold of 95 per cent, believed to be the immunity of the flock, and to have been attested even at around 98 percent. ""The point is that the age group affected by the virus. That is not subject to the obligation of vaccination, "" explains Alessio D'amato, the department of Health and the Lazio Region - but that just concerns the subsequent ones: i.e., from 15 to 39 years."" It is exactly of the same age range (15-39 years), which saw the largest number of people in bed or even in the hospital last year, when the region of Lazio in the space of twelve months, counted in the total 261 cases (more than 2,500 in Italy). A figure which, as mentioned, placed at the second place in the ranking of the territories most affected in the whole Country.

"444","In the first nine months of the year, 397 cases of measles have been identified in Belgium, compared to 117 over the entire 2018, reports Friday's Echo. ""Belgium is so far from achieving the objectives of the WHO (world health Organization) for the elimination of measles. Goals that are of less than one case per million inhabitants,"" said Dr. Monalisa Zampieri (ULB/Saint-Pierre Hospital, Brussels), who is completing a dissertation at the end of specialization in pediatrics on the topic. Yet, the belgian national action plan for measles elimination, renewed in 2016, aims to rid the country of this disease by 2020, she says. Vaccination rate too low vaccination rates too low in the country is pointing the finger. It could be argued that Belgium lose its status of ""countries in transition"" towards the elimination of measles, conferred by the WHO in 2018. While a rate of 95% must be achieved for this disease, the Belgium is below this standard. Flanders reached a coverage rate of 93.4%. In Brussels, this rate drops to 76,4%, and in Wallonia, it only rises to 70.1 per cent (figures for 2017). For Wallonia, a contagion of anti-vaccine in France could be one of the explanations, according to Dr. Zampieri.",1557,"belgium"

"1981","This is the second death in New-Aquitaine during the month of November, the third in France as a result of the measles. The Regional Agency of Health reminds us of the importance of vaccination. Bordeaux, France The information was announced Friday morning by the Regional Agency of Health of New-Aquitaine. A young girl of 17 years died Wednesday at the university hospital of Bordeaux, a result of neurological complications caused by measles. She was hospitalized for about two months. The young woman was immunocompromised, meaning that his immune system was too weak to receive two doses of measles vaccines. This is the second death caused by this disease in New-Aquitaine, and the third in France for the month of November last. Last February, it was a 32-year old woman who died at the hospital of Poitiers. Wednesday 27 June, the LRA had announced the death of a 26 year old male, without specifying the place nor the date of his death. New Aquitaine is no longer in phase of the outbreak Since the month of November, 1 096 cases of measles have been diagnosed in the New-Aquitaine (2 567 in France). One out of four cases required hospitalization. Twelve patients were admitted in the icu and, therefore, both now are deceased. In 90% of cases, people were not or not sufficiently vaccinated, says the ARS, because two doses are needed for the vaccine to be fully operational. New Aquitaine is no longer considered in the phase of epidemic but the Regional Agency of Health reminds us of the importance of vaccination. She invites you to be vaccinated, especially in case of doubt or loss of the book of health. People born after 1980 must have two doses of the vaccine to be effectively protected.",1552,"france"
"5485","The ministry of Health published Saturday, march 18, some clarifications about the spread of measles in Italy, in response to the statements of some deputies of the Movement 5 Stars, who had asked the ministry not to create a “panic situation” for the highest number of the average of the infections in the first two months of this year (three times as much as compared to the same period of 2016). Last week the ministry of Health had described as “worrisome” the increase of cases of measles in Italy, explaining that he was linked to the marked decrease of vaccinations. The deputies of the M5S in the Social Affairs committee, and the president of their group to the Room, Andrea Cecconi, had issued a brief statement in response to the ministry, asking the minister Beatrice Lorenzin to exclude “before it creates a panic situation, that the cases that are happening these days are divergent with respect to the cycle of the peaks of this disease. This in order to better substantiate the situation of alarm that you are coming to determine and that the same Lorenzin is not contributing to the limit”. The parliamentary M5S cited publications disseminated earlier by the ministry of Health, in which he explained that measles presents “spikes in outbreaks every 3-4 years”. On Saturday, the ministry of Health has responded with a series of details entrusted to Ranieri War, a doctor who for many years takes care of the hygiene and health with positions at the most important health institutions including the WHO, and currently director-general of Prevention, ministry of Health: the peaks and cycles are not inexorable and explain precisely with the decline in the number of people vaccinated.",1552,"italy"

According to one health care facility, said: “this morning (Tuesday, march 13th, 2018) a number of the professionals of the Hospital of Saint Anthony, the young adults presented with symptoms and signs of acute onset, including a rash (redness) of the skin, febrícula (just a few), myalgia, and fatigue”.

"61002","A national program for vaccination, the need for an organization with a very precise and clear in order to be successful. And, as with any large-scale operation that requires precision, is the need for a person to be responsible, clearly, for a qb with the first name and last name, which is in charge of this system. I was shocked (and I use the word), to find that in the dictionary there is no such person in charge clearly identified.No more than 5 institutions in the public health care system of the state, I am involved in the national vaccination program. Only in the Ministry of Health, there are 3 different directions in which, in addition to the many other tasks they have to do to get them checked out. How you respond to your man in Romania, responsible for the vaccination? No one knows, not even the minister of Health. When you have a problem with it, the ball of responsibility is cast first between the directions of the Minister, and then played with the curve on the outside, by an agency or institution of health care. No-one can be identified as uniquely responsible for that, nor is there any such a position is clearly defined.Romania is the european country with the lowest rate of vaccination with the MMR. We should therefore not surprise us that the Usa is, at present, the european country with the largest epidemic of measles: nearly 3,500 cases, including 17 children, were killed. Despite the fact that in the past year, there have been problems of availability of the vaccine. So what? So the “effective” campaigns of the anti-vaccini<U+0219>tilor?About 14% of the parents refused, explicitly, to vaccinate a child against measles, but in most of the cases, the parents are bringing their child to your family doctor for a vaccination. When you come to the doctor, the child is usually sick, and the vaccination is not an option. By 2015, the father, was an actor's liability because of the vaccination happened at the school.As of 2015, with an amendment which has been adopted with the best intentions, but it's not a pilot project or the survey prior to determine the impact of her behaviour, the father is the one who has to carry the baby for the vaccination at your family doctor. But all too often it does not. It would be for the doctor to actively seek out those families and children not vaccinated. Some of them do, but many of them are frustrated that they are not getting paid enough for this. And their families who are enrolled in the doctor of the family, or move frequently, or are going out of town on a temporary basis in the country, there is a significant number of them are lost. The result: tens of thousands of children are left unvaccinated.The crisis of the vaccination in the Usa is due for a particular vaccine, to fill the missing links of the supply chain (get to that in a future article). But as for the other vaccines, the current crisis is due to the fact that less and less the father and the physician of the family meet, especially for the vaccination of the child. It is an unpleasant reality of hearing, and the rare of the ministers of health who want to take the utterance of its unequivocal, especially now that even the minister does not know the number of a man, from Romania, in charge with the vaccine. There are two ways to solve this problem.One of the radical and harsh, which was used with success in other countries of the european union on the introduction of penalties and incentives in order to boost the vaccination. The other is soft and gentle, but not lacking in success when it is done professional serious campaign of communication and education. The first solution has been included in the draft of the law of vaccination, which is a 2 year old is still struggling to be approved by the Ministry of Health. The approval, which is late to the party, and the prime minister, I am not willing to assume some of the risk out of the picture. The second solution, I'm going to tell a very short story.Education on topics such as public health, it is elsewhere in the world, a discipline in its own right: Oxford's out of books specifically about this, and in the faculty of medicine of british or american courses on the subject. In Romania, the system of the state, the area is almost non-existent, even though the success of vaccination programmes is based to a large extent the campaigns for communication and education. In the fall of 2016, for the first time, the Ministry of Health has launched a series of campaigns in the modern, and one of them is about the vaccination ().In the meantime, Antena 3, Mihai Gadea give you a full hour of the interests of the anti-vacciniste (without offering the same courtesy to a physician), a team from the Ministry of Health to work with the volunteers from the campaign for public health. Why is it voluntary? For a period of 6 months was too short for the carrying out of all administrative procedures necessary to reward all those people (for whom I have the utmost respect). And for the experts in this field are almost non-existent in the institutions of the state, which is supposed to take care of it.If the current minister of Health is going to continue with this campaign and to learn about communication in public health, I don't know. I have heard that recently by encouraging parents to vaccinate their children. But, in spite of the charm of the show (wink), I highly doubt that the instigation of the lord, More will cause someone to run to the doctor for medication.For the fans of conspiracy theories, some of the digits of an outbreak of measles, a current of 96% of the cases of measles have occurred in children of unvaccinated and 3% in children, incompletely vaccinated, and only 1% of the children with the schedule of vaccination is complete. The source of the information (as well as the other data described above) is the European Centre for the Prevention and Control of communicable Diseases and the National Institute of Public Health.",1541,"romania"
"1982","The vaccination requirement seems to appeal more and more public health officials in the rich countries, while the resurgence of the disease is fueled by a distrust growing towards vaccines. Criminal charges, and $ 1,000 fine: this is the promise made Tuesday, April 9, by the city of New York to the inhabitants of four areas located in the north-west of Brooklyn, ""who may have been exposed to measles,"" and do not vaccinate. As for the childcare facilities and schools for the orthodox jewish community, a community where the resurgence of the disease is particularly strong, they will be liable to criminal prosecution and even closure if they accept unvaccinated children, reports AFP. So far, the State of New York required a series of vaccinations in order to integrate the school system, but granting exemptions for religious reasons. In New York, 285 cases of measles have been recorded since October, compared to only 2 in 2016. After months of campaign to encourage vaccination, ""it was time to move to a more muscular,"" said Bill de Blasio, the mayor of the city. ""READ ALSO - An outbreak of measles in connection with a catholic school in Saint-Tropez at the End of march, it is the county of Rockland, north of New York city, who was talking to him in banishing from public places any minor who has not been vaccinated against the disease (almost a third of the 1 to 18 years). The head of the county, Ed Day, was then welcomed in two days, more than 500 new vaccinations against measles had been made. Ed Day believed that his county was ""on track"" to achieve an immunization rate for the first injection of 93%, close to the level deemed necessary to put an end to this epidemic. Since October, more than 17,000 MMR vaccines (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) have been administered in the county. At the date of 8 April, the county recorded 168 confirmed cases of measles. Nearly 83% of the patients had never been vaccinated against the disease, officially eradicated since 2000, but revenue seems to be there in September by the intermediate of seven international travelers. Alas, a few days after the extent of the ban, the State supreme Court issued an order against the state of emergency declared on march 26, by this county of 300,000 inhabitants, which prohibited for 30 days in public places for minors who are not vaccinated. ""I'm absolutely not agree with the opinion of the judge, according to which the crisis of measles does not reach the level of an emergency, when in fact, we are facing the longest current epidemic in the country and the largest epidemic in the State of New York for the past 30 years"", said the head of the county, in a press release published on 8 April. The county announced that it would appeal this decision, and provided for new measures ""to keep the people who may have been exposed to measles in their homes and away from public places"". ""READ ALSO - An extensive study disproves once again the link between vaccine and autism, The extent of crowding radical was supposed to help ""extinguish this epidemic and protect the health of those who cannot be vaccinated for medical reasons or are too young to be vaccinated"", had then explained to Ed Day. The official website of the county indicated at the end of march that among the confirmed cases, nearly 15% were babies less than 1 year (the first injection is usually made between 12 and 15 months). The Face of the epidemic, the health department of the county recommends a first injection between 6 and 11 months. As for the 1-3 years of age who have already been vaccinated for the first time, it is advisable not to wait for them to make a second injection (typically done between 4 and 6 years). The world health Organization was alarmed in early march for a return of the measles in the world, with 136.000 dead in 2018 and an increase of about 50% of the cases reported last year compared to 2017. An increase due, in poor countries, and the difficulty of access to vaccines, but nourished in the rich countries by a distrust of vaccines in general and MMR in particular, suspected to be wrong to cause autism. In the Face of this distrust growing, the public health officials seem to be tempted by the vaccination requirement. ""READ ALSO - Europe recorded a record number of cases of measles, The vaccination requirement appears to be effective in France, In Germany, the association of pediatricians called on the coalition government to make it mandatory for the vaccine against measles, before adding the other 7 vaccinations (rubella, diphtheria, tetanus, polio, whooping cough, mumps and chicken pox). They supported a proposal of the minister of Health, Jens Spahn, in favour of an obligation to be vaccinated against measles children in school. In France, the obligation to vaccinate children against 11 diseases was established in January 2018 and much-criticized at the time, seems to be bearing fruit: ""The coverage of the vaccine hexavalent (diphtheria, tetanus, polio, pertussis, Haemophilus influenzae type B and hepatitis B) continues to progress,"" congratulated the government on the 25th of march to the end of an inter-ministerial Committee for health, announcing an increase of the vaccination coverage of 93 to 98.6% (according to the first estimates based on children born between January and may). ""The vaccination coverage against meningococcal C disease is estimated at 75.7 percent, whereas it was 39.3 % for the same period in 2017"", added the press kit. To find out if this increase in vaccine coverage also includes measles, however, it will be: in France, the first injection is (outside the context of an epidemic) mandatory 12 months, the second between 16 and 18 months.",1539,"france"
"5114","THERE HAVE BEEN 13 reported cases of measles in Dublin in recent weeks, it has been confirmed.  The HSE said the Department of Public Health East is currently “managing a measles outbreak in the north Dublin area”.  Since July, there have been 13 measles cases in adults and children in Dublin’s north inner city.  Transmission has occurred in a number of hospitals and in households with “poor vaccine uptake”, the HSE said, adding that people are now presenting with measles in the wider inner city community.  There have been no deaths from measles associated with this outbreak to date.  Speaking about the situation, Dr Ruth McDermott, Public Health Doctor, said: “Measles can be a serious illness and is highly infectious. The best protection is to be fully vaccinated with two doses of MMR (Measles, Mumps, and Rubella) vaccine.”  People at increased risk of getting measles are those who are not fully vaccinated with two doses of the MMR vaccine or who have not had measles in the past. The risk of infection remains for up to 21 days after contact with a case of measles.  If you think you may have measles, stay at home and phone your General Practitioner (GP) for advice.  People who are sick should not attend any congregated settings such as creche, school, work or religious gatherings until they have recovered from illness.  The rate of measles infections across Europe has reached a record high - more than 41,000 children and adults were infected with measles in the first six months of 2018, according to the World Health Organization.  Measles symptoms include:  High fever  Cough  Runny nose  Red eyes  Red rash that starts on the head and spreads down the body – this normally starts a few days after onset of illness; the rash consists of flat red or brown blotches, which can flow into each other; it lasts about four to seven days  Vomiting, diarrhoea and tummy pain may also happen  Measures to prevent the spread of measles if you think you may have the condition:  Do not go to work, school or creche  Stay at home and phone your GP; tell the doctor or nurse that you think you might have measles  Stop visitors coming to your home  Pregnant women who have been exposed to measles should seek medical advice as soon as possible  Risk of measles from international travel:  There are ongoing outbreaks of measles in multiple countries in Europe and worldwide. Most of the cases in the EU in 2018 were reported from Romania, France, Greece and Italy.  Most people who get measles on holiday do not know they were exposed until they develop disease, the HSE said. Unrecognised exposures to measles have occurred at airports, on planes, at concerts, in shops and in healthcare settings. In 2018, 31 deaths associated with measles have been reported in EU countries.  Advice for people travelling abroad:  Vaccination remains the most effective measure against infection. Children aged 6-11 months who are travelling to other countries and regions where measles outbreaks have been reported are recommended to get the MMR vaccine.  A dose given before 12 months of age does not replace the dose that would normally be given at 12 months of age, the HSE advised.  Older children should be age-appropriately vaccinated. Children who have missed their recommended doses should get the MMR vaccine from their GP.  Adults may be at risk of measles, particularly those under 40 years of age who have never had measles or two doses of a measles vaccine.  Complications of measles:  Measles can cause chest infections, fits (seizures), ear infections, swelling of the brain and/or damage to the brain.  Measles is a notifiable disease and GPs and hospital clinicians should immediately notify public health authorities if they suspect someone has measles.  Actions taken to prevent further cases:  The Public Health Department has sent an alert to all Emergency Departments and GPs in Dublin, Kildare and Wicklow to inform them to be vigilant about measles.  The Department has given the following advice on the most effective measures to control the further spread of this potentially serious illness:",1536,"ireland"

Agencies/Madrid Updated: 30/11/2018 17:15 Save Send news by email Your name * Your email * Your email * measles cases are increasing in all over the world, especially in Latin America and Europe. And one of the causes, according to the latest report of the World Health Organization (WHO) is the retitencia of some parents to vaccinate their children. According to this document, in 2017 were recorded officially about 173,000 cases of measles, a jump of more than 30 per cent compared to the levels of the previous year, has said the agency, which has detailed that the actual number of cases in the past year is estimated at 6.7 million. ""The reappearance of measles we are concerned about a lot especially because it is also happening in countries that had eliminated or were close to eliminating this disease"", said the director of Immunization and Vaccines to the WHO, Martin Friede at a press conference in Geneva. Thus, it has detailed that around 110,000 people died in the past year, most of them children, because of this disease, which can be prevented through vaccination. ""More worrying than the increase in the number of cases is that we see sustained transmission of measles in countries that for many years, there had been contagion,"" says Friede. ""This suggests that in reality we are taking a step backward in certain cases"". Germany, Russia, and Venezuela have had large measles outbreaks last year, which led to their withdrawal of their certification of having interrupted the transmission. Countries such as Germany, where there are groups who refuse to vaccinate children for the mistrust that several years ago they began to create so-called experts which associated the measles vaccine with alleged serious side effects, are experiencing a rebound from this disease. The resurgence of measles we are concerned about a lot especially because it is also happening in countries that had eliminated or were close to eliminating this disease According to the WHO, what has happened is that in some european countries, the vaccination rates of this disease have fallen below the recommended percentage of the 95% of the population for various reasons ranging from the lack of supplies in vaccines, the case of Ukraine, or administrative problems related to the prescription and administration of the vaccine. ""Each one of the people not vaccinated remain vulnerable wherever they are located and, for this reason, all countries must continue to work to amplify the vaccination campaigns, and finish with the other sectors of the population not immunized"", they denounce. How it works the immunity of the group - File The who states that the world is in a time that if the coverage of vaccination against measles does not return to be extended and stabilized in at least a 95 % you may lose decades of progress. Measles is a disease completely preventable with two doses of a vaccine can be ruled out for life. It is highly contagious and can affect adults as much as children, among which death is rare, but not so complications that can get you to encephalitis, pneumonia, ear infection and permanent loss of vision. To worst ""by Looking at the figures of 2018, we're seeing a rise that seems to be sustained and we are concerned that what began as a rise to become a trend,"" warns Friede. Measles is a disease completely preventable with two doses of a vaccine can be ruled out for life The data speak for themselves: in the first 6 months of 2018, more than 41,000 children and adults have had measles in Europe, a number which exceeds the number of cases in any of the full years of the last decade. In addition, at least 37 people have died due to measles in the first half of 2018.

The institute estimates that the three cases are part of an outbreak of the virus and therefore ask the physicians in the metropolitan area to be extra vigilant the next time. - The three infected people have been sick at roughly the same time, and therefore we do not believe that they have infected each other, but are infected by a different source. - Combined with the fact that the measles virus has an incubation period of about 10 days, it will say that it takes 10 days from being infected to being ill, so it is likely that the three have infected others in the ten days, says Peter Andersen, afdelingslage at the Statens Serum Institut. Sick despite the vaccine, the Symptoms of measles are fever, colds, hypersensitivity to light, and the characteristic red dots. And even if you are vaccinated, you can still be infected. - The adult man, who has been ill, is actually previously vaccinated, so it is no guarantee. However, the likelihood of being infected is very, very small, if you have got the two vaccines that is recommended, says Peter Andersen. Dangerous for infants the Virus is highly contagious, but is not dangerous to the vast majority who get infected. - Measles is highly contagious, as it can hang in the air for up to two hours, after you have hosted, so therefore one should avoid to walk among other people and in public transport, if you are infected. Fortunately, the vast majority of healthy again after a week to 10 days, but for infants can measles be dangerous.

Vaccination - may upswing for opponents? Betsch comes to the conclusion that a vaccination is essential to ensure that vaccination Coverage is increasing. The psychologist sees even the danger that opponents could get through a vaccination updraft and voluntary vaccinations will be less perceived. She says that it would be wiser to let the public health departments stronger to vaccinate. ""They could, for example, in schools, in kindergartens, and a injection nozzle to open.""

"1698","Luoto Ostrobothnia was found in the last week of measles cases, and after such ministers as the doctors have stressed children's vaccination importance. Protection against measles may be missing also adults. Especially in the early ' 70s born in the have nots group. Their childhood measles has been sick the past few more. They are also not yet as children are vaccinated. Many of these adults have received the vaccination later, for example, in the army, travel to go take the vaccination context, the study starts or in the occupational health service. Automatically the vaccination is not for them, however, not given. – If the information about vaccination is not, it should certainly take. An extra dose will do no harm, says the Health and welfare institute (THL) specialist Mia Kontio. Measles expert is himself the example of the have-nots of the group of adults. I was born in 1972 and I have not received the vaccination. Sick with measles in the 90s as a young adult, when I lived abroad. I was five days on a drip, in pretty bad shape, Mia Kontio says. Measles vaccination was started in the year 1975 Before 1970 born are Mia Kontio, according to a high probability of developing the measles. Measles epidemics in a tizzy were, according to him, in Finland roughly 5-7 year intervals. – Before 1970, born almost all have protection against the disease, Kontio said. Measles vaccination was introduced in finland, the national vaccination programme in 1975, when we started to vaccinate approximately one year of age. They received the vaccination as a single dose. Since 1982, vaccination began to be given in two doses and with the same vaccine was previously only one dose experienced. If you know that he had received only one dose of vaccine, the second is worth Mia Kontio, according to take to improve protection. Yes, it's worth the search. It is known that the two MPR-vaccination will be a better protection. If you have received one MMR dose approximately one year of age, however, it is generally received that another. Also in the mid-70s after birth in is, some of those that are not for one reason or another be vaccinated. I believe that very many such people know themselves, if the parents do not want to give them vaccines. MPR-vaccination get a free health station How information on their measles vaccination, then you can try to hunt?

The observation of the increasing number of measles cases is a bit like the observation of an impending hurricane. Both phenomena are alarming, both threaten health and life, in addition, on both, as expected, with the unpleasant conviction that necessarily something bad will happen. The only question is when and where they will strike first and who will suffer the most. Alarming statistics In August this year, the world Health Organization announced that it was not completed even after 2018 is a record number of measles cases. In the first half recorded in the European Union and the countries of the European Economic Area – more cases than in any whole year of the decade. In this year of measles in Europe are sick more than 41 thousand people – almost twice more than in 2017. For comparison, in 2016, patients were approximately four times less than in 2017. The trend is visible. Health. Guide Political Criticism 34,90 it is, unfortunately, a situation which is not expected. In the beginning of the XXI century the countries of the Americas have announced that they have managed to stop measles is common (that is, within 12 months not recorded the spread of the disease among the local population. in France or in Italy unfortunately in Italy the new government has abolished the duty of vaccinations, but at the moment signed there petition of the parents of children who for health reasons are particularly susceptible to infection below the debt back). Vaccination solidarity means an individual Life in society should be governed by the principle of solidarity, as each member of society is due to this fact profits (protection from serious diseases) and responsibilities (e.g., in the matter of settlement). Experts report, however, the conditions that must be met in order to limit the ethical doubts related to this debt. They include the safety and efficacy of vaccines, useful profit and loss, immunizations, in the case of disease threat and is a social problem. Extremely important is also the question of the normal and ubiquitous education – specific web page that nobody reads, or transfer, even with the best intentions, funny memes in pronaukowych wheels mutual adoration is not easy. The Polish government should invest in a nationwide campaign of educational (television, vaccine issues discussed in the popular television series, advertisements, billboards on the streets, attracting celebrities), especially in doedukowanie health workers (exams and kolokwia in College, covering issues related to vaccination, testing and enforcement of these messages during the internship, specialization and work on doktoratami, with the possibility niezaliczenia in these cases, the sermon antyszczepionkowych theory). Health workers should also have sufficient time to talk with patients about vaccination and explanation of any related doubt. For it is only in the case of mass education painless deployment responsibilities of the vaccination will be effective. Otherwise, we will always deal with the rebellion, attempts to refute the validity and attempts to ignore this responsibility (something else, there is a bill that lays the responsibility of vaccination?).

"20113","Of the DEBATE. The doctors are surprised to find out that a lot of people who are already vaccinated for measles had the disease, in any of the cases. Representatives from within the health care system searches for an explanation, while they continue to show that vaccines are infallible. The daily News announced on 30 march 2018, to the doctors, was a new discovery in the mässlingsutbrottet in new york city in the winter, - namely, that the majority of the 28 who became infected were already vaccinated. “We have found research that shows that it has been like this in other places where the disease is spreading in a community with high vaccination coverage,” said david Andersson, director of the infection clinic at the Sahlgrenska university hospital in Gothenburg, sweden, for Dagens Nyheter. The belief in the vardetablissemanget is the addition of two doses of vaccine against measles, mumps, and rubella provide a level of protection that is 97-99%, and that of those who do get the disease are in the minority. Tiia Lepp, who is an epidemiologist at the Folkhälsomyndigheten says to dagens nyheter that the people who have been a little bit of a lower level of protection by the vaccine, may become infected if they have had a prolonged contact with a person who is very contagious, but it is only a quick hypothesis. Despite the fact that health care professionals report that mässlingsvaccination is the right thing to do according to the DN of an animation of the ROTOR.see, most people who have had measles prior to the 1970's are immune, but, paradoxically, those who are born in 1970-1982, who only got a shot of “able to have complete protection. To an outsider it seems like that's the best way to create a lifetime immunity to having measles as a child. This, however, does not care, instead, say that there is a great alleged dödsrisker to get the disease. In spite of these warnings indicates to the medical statistics, that no one had died from the disease during the course of many years. “Measles is a potentially fatal disease.” – “Mässlingsutbrottet most of The infected had previously had protection,” march 30, 2018, to the DN.see dagens nyheter, warns that measles is a potentially lethal disease, but it is, in principle, all contagious diseases. In reality, measles is not a fatal illness, as in the Swedish statistics, since the decades of the show. In the few cases where patients have died in the course of a mässlingsinfektion, it has almost always been shown to the patient, the patient had a serious disease, which shows that a seriously ill person to die of the infection that at any time. Measles has actually been a “deadly” disease, "" according to the new narrative, which the care brought to the last couple of years. The idea is a popular trend. Over the past decades, prior to the vaccinationstrenden began to gain momentum in 2009, when the swine flu was the childhood illnesses the natural way to immunize humans.

"5489","An american research has studied the few cases where the vaccine has not worked in the last fifteen years, discovering that measles was manifested in a more slight in these unfortunate people. The epidemic of measles that is hitting our Country, on the contrary, large regions of our continent, concerned and has been the main factors that led to the law on the obligation of vaccination in Italy. This resulted in an increase in the vaccination coverage, with effects not yet obvious, but easily measurable on the progress of the epidemic. There will still be cases of measles? If the trend will continue to be this, we arrive at a zero of the cases of measles? In time yes, but in the coming years (it is not easy to define exactly how many) will surely occur cases of infections. For what reason? Basically for two reasons: the first is that they will always remain individuals who are not vaccinated – children who are grown, which can then be infected by the virus. Even for them, however, the number of cases will tend to diminish thanks to the now famous immunity of the flock,that readers of the Medical Factsconoscono well. The persons vaccinated will protect those who have not been able or wanted to get vaccinated. There is also, however, a second reason: the vaccine has the same efficacy in all individuals. In some rare cases, even in vaccinated subjects may, for various reasons, become infected, have the measles. Are the so-called cases of failure of vaccination. As we will see, we talk about a limited number of cases. Nevertheless, these cases should be thoroughly investigated. This was recently done by a group of researchers in california, and that, as a result of the recent re-emergence of measles in the Usa, he studied the clinical aspects of all cases of measles confirmed and registered in California since 2000 (the year in which it was declared to be the eradication in the Usa), 2015. The cases of failure of immunization in California, A total of 383 casiin more than 15 years, or, considering the tens and tens of millions of doses of vaccine administered in this period, an incidence comparable to the odds of winning one of five first prizes in the uk Lottery with a single ticket. A more careful analysis, it is also noted as a third of the cases observed is relative to the period 2014-15, i.e. after the so-called epidemic of Disneyland,which marked the return of an epidemic of measles in the Usa. Largely, 80 per cent, of the cases of which he knew the status of vaccination (232), it is obviously occurred in unvaccinated individuals. This, however, means that in 20% of cases there was the face of failures in vaccination. At this point, you may be configuration in the 46 unfortunate (in more than 15 years!) who, though vaccinated, are sick with measles. You might say: ""agree that they are really very few, but what is the advantage of having been vaccinated for these 46 winners in the lottery of bad luck?"". The results of the research This is the most interesting part of the study. Researchers in california have, in fact, shown how those who had been vaccinated, and get sick, it still went to meet an extremely mild measles with less fever and less respiratory symptoms. This took the form of in a very more limited to the serious cases, which had required hospital admission among the vaccinated subjects compared to those who were not vaccinated. In summary, then, an obvious benefit even in misfortune. Or, alternatively, you could say that the proof of facts better to get vaccinated than to play the uk Lottery.

""She is stable but is at a very difficult prediction,"" he said.Francis George, has advised the vaccination of children, from the age of nine months, and it has been argued that in the Uk, if I had to do a debate on vaccinations in order to see if there are any parents who do not vaccinate their children and why they do not do it.Joseph George Marks, the pediatrician, the technical committee for vaccinations, of DGS, said that children are the group most affected in the current outbreak, and he stressed that this is not an epidemic, in the sense that the population is at risk.""The battle to measles requires a vaccination is more than 95%. We have parents who refuse to vaccinate their children. Not achieving 95%, and it can affect a few people, including those who cannot be vaccinated, such as pregnant women or the immunosuppressed,"" he said.The expert also argued that it is necessary to discuss the question of vaccination in the Uk, and in particular to the right of the parents to not vaccinate their children, but also the right of all children to be vaccinated. Read the press release in its entirety, with respect to the activity of the epidemic of measles, the Directorate-General for Health states: 1.

"7659","The world is an explosive increase in the number of cases of measles. In the Netherlands this year, now that more people have the disease is given in 2018 and beyond. So what is the problem? ""With the measles vaccine, the first disease that pops up when the coverage rate is not high enough,"" explains Hans van Vliet, of the netherlands Institute for public Health and the Environment (RIVM), off. Vaccination is given according to the manager of the Rijksvaccinatieprogramma, and in accordance with the child's physician Károly Illy, president of the Dutch Society for Pediatrics, is the only way to stop the spread of measles is to prevent it. However, this is precisely the problem: the coverage rate is dropping around the world. ""The baby,"" it's 2015 in the Netherlands, was born 92,9 percent were vaccinated. Babies from the year of 2005, it was 96 per cent,"" says Van Vliet. This number has been stable, but it's not. 78 as to Why a high coverage is essential, it is 'a Victim of the parents, the child does not have to be vaccinated,"" The childhood illness characterized by a rash on the body and a high fever. In exceptional cases, it may be an infection in the lungs or the brain occur. ""In some cases, it may be the disease, therefore, it can be deadly,"" explains Illy out. ""If you look at Europe, there are already dozens of children have died of measles."" Last year, they were in Europe, and sixty to eighty deaths a result of measles. ""These were not kids who are intentionally not vaccinated, they are simply not old enough yet. They have been the victim of a parent that their child will not be vaccinated."" There were, in the first three months of 2019, more than 110,000 besmettingsgevallen of the center. According to the world health organization (WHO), that is, an increase of 300 per cent compared to the first quarter of 2018. A high level of protection against measles, mumps, a child must have two of the vaccines given. According to Unicef, between 2010 and 2017, worldwide twenty million children around the world, the first mazelenvaccin room. The second vaccine, and around the globe, but for 67 per cent of the children. The mortality rate for measles from 2000 to 2016, with 84 percent, according to figures published by the WHO. However, in parts of Africa and Asia, spread of the disease is still there. In 2016, there were seven million people have been infected with measles. 95% of the infections occurred in low-income countries and in poor health. In the Netherlands this year, so far, twenty people with measles are infected. In the Netherlands, the disease in 2013, and to the latter's death. The victim was a seventeen-year-old girl from Zeeland, the netherlands. Why do some parents teach their child to not be vaccinated, But why can't I see some of the parents of a MMR vaccine (MMR stands for mumps, measles and rubella)? In some countries, parents teach their children not to be vaccinated, because the vaccines are simply not available to them, how to apply health and safety-program manager Of the Home, which suggests that this is not the issue. ""The second reason is that the public's trust in vaccines. The third reason is that the disease is no longer as a very, very, very, seriously now. And this is completely unjustified, according to the child's physician Illy. ""It is true that there is a need, but it's not so much that it is a harmless childhood illness, it is. For a minority of people it can be quite severe gradients and disability, or even result in death."" “It is true that there is a need, but it's not so much that it is a harmless childhood illness, it is” Károly Illy, a pediatrician a Lot of nepnieuws about the measles, mumps, Fearful of an outbreak, such as the Netherlands, in 2013 to join the struggle, it is Illy now. ""Most of the cases of measles in the Netherlands 'importgevallen'. At the moment, it is more common in foreign countries, and the same goes for the Netherlands"", says Van Vliet. ""The risk of a disease outbreak, such as in 2013, but it seems to me, is much more likely that it was only about a five-to-ten years to happen,"" said the manager of the Rijksvaccinatieprogramma. This is because of the people who, in 2013, have become ill, to be protected. ""Measles can only be transmitted by people who are sick of it, and not by the people who have the measles vaccine or the vaccination have had it. The virus needs plenty of people to have to go from one to the other, jump up and down"", says Van Vliet from. However, pediatricians are in accordance with Illy, however, concerned about the number of parents that their children will not be late, vaccinate. ""To be honest, we are seeing increasingly is that parents in the area to have their information on the web. And that's all nepnieuws. For parents to pick up their news channels, with a track record of incorrect information and allow it to fool you."" Examples of nepnieuws, ""The coming of the measles vaccine to protect against other diseases,"" and This is incorrect, and from recent studies it seems that the who's the measles and has a greater risk of infection. Measles, mumps, have something to do with your immune system and lessen the number of immune cells 'of Measles have been for years, no longer fatal (on a large scale,"" and This is inaccurate: The deaths in the rest of Europe, to show that this is not the case Of the MMR-vaccinated children, autism, get, "" This has been Andrew Wakefield, published in 1998, is a false article about a link between autism and vaccination. The man, whose artsentitel has been taken away from them, however, for fraud committed in day care centres ban unvaccinated kids for The last few weeks were full of the news that some of the day care centres of non-vaccinated children in the ward. As of this week, Berend Botje), a company with fifty sites that care for 3,100 children. As of July 1, are the children of the MMR vaccine are not welcome here. ""If I were the father of a baby of fourteen months old, and I would very much want to know if all the other children at the day care center to be vaccinated. I can only imagine the parents and the childcare centres themselves,"" says pediatrician Illy on it. ""But it's important: with this system, you run the risk of two types of day care centres is given. The one with the vaccinated children and the unvaccinated children. This is a risk because the measles vaccine than precisely to go into hiding."" It was From a Distance, and Illy in 2013: the time was when the so-called Biblebelt, where there is a high concentration of non-vaccinated children. Thousands of people were infected, with a seventeen-year-old girl who died from the disease. On a holiday with young children In the Netherlands, children from fourteen months to be vaccinated (and if they have a nine-year-old). However, due to the recent outbreak of measles in foreign countries, and the institute for public health and for export to certain countries or areas, in the meantime, an early vaccination is recommended. At the beginning of June, at the start of the holiday season, it will be a time to be advised. ""I would not, for example, just go to the Ukraine if my child is vaccinated, it would have been,"" says the pediatrician, Illy. ""But the advice holds true for more of them."" On the basis Of Distance, it is less likely that measles, mumps, worldwide, are completely wiped out. Illy has let us know that he hopes that the parents will opt for a proven safe vaccination. ""And you do not have to be your own child, then another child that is too young to have been vaccinated for. Because these children are most at risk.""",1472,"netherlands"

"66104","Confirmed (again): the measles vaccine does not cause autism, The study has followed over ten years to more than 600,000 Danish children who received the vaccine ABC Health Updated: 05/03/2019 15:11 Save Send news by email Your name * Your email * Your email * The vaccine against measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) is not associated with an increased risk of autism, even among children with a high risk because they have a brother with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), as confirmed by a study by the Statens Serum Institut of Copenhagen (Denmark), published in the journal ""Annals of Internal Medicine"". This research, which followed all children born in Denmark to mothers in denmark between 1999 and 2010, concluded that the vaccine does not increase the risk of autism, does not trigger autism in susceptible children and is not associated with the clustering of cases of autism after vaccination. The link is not proven between the vaccine against measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) vaccine and the risk of autism continues to cause concern among parents, to the point that the lack of adherence to this vaccine has led to a continuing growth of measles cases in Europe and the united States and the World Health Organization (WHO) has declared the movement antivacunas one of the 10 major health threats worldwide in 2019. In this study, the 657.461 children included in the analysis during a decade of follow-up, 95% received the vaccine, and 6.517 were diagnosed with autism. ""Parents should not skip the vaccine for fear of autism. The dangers of not getting vaccinated include a resurgence of measles that we are seeing today in the form of outbreaks,"" warns dr. Anders Hviid, the principal author of the study. The myth that relates vaccines and autism stemmed from a 1998 study by Andrew Wakefield, published in the medical journal the Lancet. Wakefield had been compensated by a law firm with the intention of suing the manufacturers of the MMR vaccine, and in 2010, lost his medical license. In 2011, The Lancet retracted the study after an investigation found that Wakefield falsified the information on the 12 children who were the basis for the conclusion of the study.

Officials told NBC News the ship has been under the quarantine since Monday.  In light of current measles outbreaks in the US and the highly infectious nature of the disease “we thought it prudent that we quarantine the ship”, Ms Frederick-James said.  The quarantine comes as the number of measles cases in the US has reached a 25-year peak with more than 700 people diagnosed as of this week, part of an international resurgence in the disease.

Health authorities in Los Angeles last month ordered quarantines on two university campuses after each one had reported at least one confirmed case.  The vast majority of US cases have occurred in children who have not received the three-way vaccines against measles, mumps and rubella (MMR), which confers immunity to the disease, officials said.  Measles is spread through casual contact with the virus, which can remain infectious in the air of an enclosed space for up to two hours after it is breathed out by someone carrying the disease.  The rate of transmission from an infected person to another person nearby who lacks immunity is about 90 per cent, and an infected person can be contagious for four days before showing signs of the disease.

"5495","He was only 25 years old the woman who died in Catania because of complications from measles. She has left a husband and a daughter. A family destroyed by grief because of what is considered a “trivial” disease. In this regard, Roberto Burioni publish now a post on its official page: “A boys of 25 years, mother of a little girl of two years old, died of measles, a disease that in civil countries, where all vaccinate your children and vaccinate, does not exist. In Italy, unfortunately, the covers have been for many years, in the general indifference, to the level of the third world and we are the shame of the developed countries, among which we have the unenviable record of the number of cases.” The anger of the doctor is understandable. Makes anger to see people dying from curable diseases through vaccines. Yet, the post is translated into an act of exploitation by one of the many pages composed of antivaccinisti. There is a screenshot of the post Burioni with the following introduction: “I have Not gone under 20 minutes,from when I finished speaking of the psychological terrorism that are used to make the media of the regime and those who need to promote vaccines...and I didn't:that toh...I Read it in that way, the apprentice tyre burioni sling on an article of the day...that still speaks of a supposed death from measles,with a tirade that only he now he has become a specialist... Just to capture the people that he follows,and to which he has dedicated his autobiographical book,namely:the conspiracy of dunces...( and otherwise, who if they bought). While not only by the media...but from different sources...I read that you can do nothing but scream to the medical malpractice,as it seems that the girl's 25-year-old was abandoned on a stretcher in contact with the infected people...for hours and hours.While the girl,said,nay,screamed from the mother...was not in such serious conditions and then get out of it dead...”, Therefore, according to the antivaccinisti, Burioni is psychological terrorism and the death of the girl is due to a case of medical malpractice. In this direction seem to go all users, from true Illiterate Functional, comment on the news:",1447,"italy"
"5496","In the various groups in favor of the freedom of immunization and freedom of choice this morning are in the course of the maneuvers, to demonstrate that the child died at Monza after he contracted measles and did not die of measles. The reason is simple, as a patient of leukemia, and immunedepressed the six year old child was more vulnerable to infections. And the case has wanted the two siblings of the child were not vaccinated against the measles. Some newspapers have written that it was a free choice of the parents. But the story of the brothers that they infected the little one has been debunked by Andrea Biondi, chief of the paediatric clinic of the University Bicocca (see edit at the bottom of the article): “it is Simply not true. His only protection – and reiterates the doctor it would be the immunity of the flock”. But immunization rates have fallen dangerously in Italy, where cases of measles from January to over 3000. The baby was infected in mid-march, and his condition has progressively worsened. For a child with the disease “measles is particularly insidious”. The word that the Worried Parents™ to be repeating is, “it could also die for a cold,” and “died of leukemia, not measles”. Those who think that the news is a “fake news,” The fact is that the child was hospitalized in march after contracting the measles. ""Three months to heal from the measles?"" you ask, suspicious parents free-vax. Can we desire so much? If you are a person immunodepressa the answer is yes. And for the accuracy of the child is not even healed, her little body was already too debilitated to be able to defeat the virus. And to those who say that “it would be able to die even for a cold-all that remains is to answer that it is much easier to cure a cold than the measles. Not to mention that since there is a safe and effective vaccine against the measles, maybe this death could be avoided. The chances of a cure for the form of leukemia contracted by small, Charles (fictitious name) are 85%, But in the world of those who believe that vaccines are useless or harmful things go differently. Also because many people doubt that the news is true. More than any expert on vaccinations, explains that “the child was already dead.” Newspapers in practice they have recycled old news just to be able to give a hand to the minister Lorenzin and his decree on compulsory vaccinations. In a climate of complete distrust of any source of information “official” parents are forced to rely on word-of-mouth. Here we are in the group “Free from the obligation of vaccination”. The minister is paying for the propaganda of the pro-vaccines with our money. The news is false, since that's the same as a year ago. In short, it is all a hype, it is precisely now that the free-vax and no-vax are under attack by the State. It is time to find these “hypothetical parent” to give all our support. Admitted and not granted that they exist, of course. Died of leukemia, not measles! Other experts comment on it to minimize the story with a diagnosis of pseudo-medical. The child, according to them, they would not have died due to measles (documented infection on the 16th of march) but because of the leukemia. It would be like saying, chiosano some, that Freddie Mercury died of pneumonia and not hiv / AIDS. And, in fact, it is so because the official cause of the death of the lead singer of Queen was a bronchopneumonia aggravated by complications due to AIDS. The child had leukemia, but by what we learn has been the infection by morbillivirus to increasing conditions and is the cause of the death. On the contrary, there are those who say that the fact that the cause of leukemia was immunedepressed is irrelevant. Why is it the fault of the vaccines, “most of our children is immunodepressa”. Perhaps the doctors would do better to find a cure for the measles (that is, only on an individual immunedepressed not work so well as for the sick “normal”). The brothers and sisters have died of measles? No, then the child died of leukemia. Has not yet been made the autopsy, but that doesn't matter. The important thing is not to take any news that could encourage the mass vaccination. Why it's okay to be Worried Parents™, but it is not acceptable to become Parents, Scared by the media. In support of this theory there are those who explain that it is not the fault of the parents but of the hospital that would put the child in a department with others. There's a post of self-styled “friends of friends of friends” of the family, who explain that instead of being put in a department isolated the child was placed with other patients. Trusted sources, as not to believe in any person who writes on the Internet? But is this the level of information to which the no-vax are willing to blindly believe. The councillor for Welfare of the Lombardy Region, Giulio explore the old said that The baby was suffering from acute lymphoblastic leukemia, a disease that today has a chance of healing in more than 85% of the cases with similar shapes. On the 15th of march, for the suspicion of infection by the measles (diagnosis confirmed on the 16th of march), was transferred to the icu for worsening progressive of the framework of the lung with need of respiratory assistance. Was intubated, and then started the service using Ecmo for cardiac or respiratory failure, continued up to the date of today. Curiously, the page Facebook LOV – Free from the Obligation of Vaccination commenting on the news saying that there “is a risk for all and for all”. In short, the risk of dying due to a preventable disease when you are immunosuppressed it is acceptable. This despite being a much higher risk of the onset of adverse reactions to vaccines. Remember the fact that Concerned Parents™ are not willing to accept the minimal risk. In the case of a child who died at Monza instead of the fatalism seems to be the only answer I can give. EDIT: would Not have been the little brothers to infect with measles the child profile similar to leukemia died at the San Gerardo hospital of Monza. It has supported the primary of the pediatric clinic of the University of milano-Bicocca, Andrea Biondi, interviewed by Sky Tg24. It was written that the child would be infected by the brethren. “That's simply not true. His only protection – and reiterates the doctor it would be the immunity of the flock”. But immunization rates have fallen dangerously in Italy, where cases of measles from 1 January to over 3000. The baby was infected in mid-march, and his condition has progressively worsened. For a child with the disease “measles is particularly insidious,” recalls the expert. Blond underlines, finally, that the body of a child was debilitated by the disease and by the treatment which he was subjected. Also any vaccination in this case could not be enough. “For him, the only defense was the immunity of the flock”, he concludes. In a subsequent statement to the Adn Kronos Health Biondi has clarified that the only thing that could save it would be the immunity of the flock:",1442,"italy"

"5497","The measles virus is like the 'reset' key to our immune system: it clears the memory sweeping away up to 73% of the antibodies that defend you from other diseases like influenza, herpes, and pneumonia. This 'amnesia ' immune', that can last months, has been documented for the first time in a group of 77 Dutch children's non-vaccinated, at the centre of two international studies published in the journals Science and Science Immunology. As pointed out by the same researchers, the results demonstrate that ""measles is more dangerous than we imagined"" and that ""the vaccine has benefits even greater than expected"", since that can also protect from secondary infections to the disease. Their vaccination has broken down to 80% of the cases of measles in the world between 2000 and 2017, saving 2.1 million of lives, but because of the most recent campaigns, no-vax, the trend was reversed, so that the number of cases from 2018 to the present day is increased by 300%. Also Italy is experiencing this phenomenon: according to the latest report of the Institute of Health, are 1.596 cases of measles reported from the first of January to the 30 of September 2019, with death from respiratory complications in an adult of 45 years old is not vaccinated and with concomitant diseases. Assess the impact of vaccination was the aim of the study was published on Science from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute in Boston with the Harvard Medical School and the Erasmus University Medical Center Rotterdam. The researchers used the test VirScan to analyze children's blood and measure the levels of thousands of antibodies directed against viruses and bacteria. The examination, made before the measles, and two months after the infection, revealed that the disease clears from 11 to 73% of the defenses antibody. The same test is repeated on the macaques first of the measles and five months after the infection, has confirmed the loss of 40-60% of the antibodies. The graphical representation of the internal structure of the measles virus (source: Pixnio) complementary Results were obtained from the second study, published in Science, Immunology from the british Wellcome Sanger Institute with the University of Amsterdam. Always conducted on the same group of 77 children protestant orthodox non-vaccinated, shows that the measles due to the loss of specific cells of the immune memory, leaving the children vulnerable as infants are unable to respond to new infections. The effects of this temporary amnesia immune responses have been tested on ferrets vaccinated against the flu: a time affected by the measles have lost most of their antibodies, so as to become again susceptible to the flu, with symptoms even more severe. This proves, therefore, that measles can also erase the effects of the vaccinations done against other infectious diseases, and therefore, the researchers suggest doctors to strengthen the defences of the patients healed from measles by the recalls of the vaccines routinely administered previously.",1439,"italy"

"1524","The disease was brought to the country by a dane, who had been on a trip in Poland. Statens Serum Institute reported on Wednesday, out that doctors and potential patients need to be aware of the symptoms of red rash, as a new outbreak of measles has come to Denmark. The warning came after three persons in Region Zealand had been infected with the highly contagious disease. The institute has now completed its studies of all three patients, and it turns out that the onset of dna is 100 percent identical for all three cases. It tells the head of the monitoring of the virus in Denmark, Thea Kolsen Fischer, from the Statens Serum Institut to the TV 2. It means, therefore, that indekspatienten - the, which has brought maslingerne to the country - and the two which have subsequently been infected, have been in contact, and thus infected each other. The disease is highly contagious Indekspatienten have gotten the disease after a trip to Poland and then brought it back home to Denmark. You don't know yet, where the three have been in contact with each other. It can be on a bus, in a waiting room or in another public space. Patients do not need to have been in direct contact with each other. Measles is an infection of the respiratory tract and is one of the most infectious diseases in the world. One need therefore only to be in the same room with someone with measles to get infected. A fourth patient to be examined Statens Serum Institut has also scored a fourth try, which they at the time of writing is investigating measles. Media coverage of the outbreak has gotten the doctors to be extra vigilant. And since you do not have been able to make the fourth patient's diagnosis, have to for safety's sake and to rule out a second disease chosen to test for, it may be measles. Thea Kolsen Fischer says, however, that it is immediately not similar to yet another case. Make sure to be vaccinated Statens Serum Institute calls on all in particular, the Region of Zealand to be vaccinated as soon as possible, if they have not already been it. The vaccine takes a week or two to work optimally, and there is not much to the spread of the disease. - That a person comes home from abroad with measles is enough to start an epidemic, said Thea Kolsen Fischer to TV 2 on Wednesday. She also told me that as far as possible, should not take the check to your doctor if you suspect that you may have got measles, because you can risk infection of a whole waiting room. Instead, you have to ask for a home visit by his doctor or contact the hospital where you can get directly in isolation if the disease is very advanced.",1437,"denmark"

A 32-year old woman died of measles Saturday, February 10, at the CHU of Poitiers (Vienne), has announced the regional Agency of health (ARS), New Aquitaine, Tuesday 13 February. The patient, who was not vaccinated against the disease, according to the agency, had been hospitalized on February 1. He is the first victim to the French epidemic, which began in November, in the midst of a debate on compulsory vaccination, if desired by the ministry of Health. What is the magnitude of the measles outbreak ? 387 cases since November 2017. The epidemic of measles is raging in New-Aquitaine since November 2017.

These numbers have more than doubled since January 24, when the ARS were 115 cases, including 32 hospitalizations. The epidemic affects mainly the Gironde river and the Vienne, where are the large cities of Bordeaux and Poitiers. On the whole French territory, the Directorate-general of health has identified 387 cases, of which 83 hospitalizations, since the 1st of November. Eleven dead since 2008. This epidemic is not new in France. Since 2008, after several years of decline, measles has caused the death of 11 people. From 1 January 2008 to 31 December 2016, more than 24 000 cases of measles were reported in France, according to the most recent figures from the Institut de veille sanitaire (InVS). ""Almost 1, 500 cases have presented a pneumopathy serious, 34, a neurological complication (31 encephalitis, 1 myelitis, 2 Guillain-Barré syndrome),"" says InVS. How do you explain that ? Inadequate immunization coverage. For the health authorities, there is no doubt that the low immunization coverage is in question. The announcement of the death of a patient ""reinforces the need for the entire population, to quickly check his vaccination, the only way to stop the epidemic,"" said ARS. According to the agency, ""the immunisation coverage in New Aquitaine is currently insufficient to cope with this epidemic."" It varies from 70.8% to 81% depending on the departments, while the world health Organisation recommends a 95% coverage. ""On all cases of measles known in Europe, from 1 December 2016 to 30 November 2017, 87% were not vaccinated,"" says the european Centre for prevention and control of diseases (in English). A very contagious disease. A sick person can infect up to 20 people. The CHU of Poitiers considers that five of the people hospitalized in recent weeks ""have been able to contract the disease at the contact of another patient in the CHU of Poitiers at the onset of the first case"". The facility has therefore ""decided to impose the wearing of a mask for any person presenting to the emergency services in the adult and pediatric"", a measure extended to services, ""in which patients have a particularly fragile"". Other countries are they concerned ? Nearly 90 000 deaths in the world in 2016. Measles is more common in developing countries and affects more than 20 million people each year, according to the WHO. The Organization has identified 89 780 deaths due to measles in 2016 in the world, ""of which a majority were children under 5 years of age"". This is the first time that this figure is less than 100,000 per year. In 2015, the measles had killed ""134 200 children under 5 years of age in the world, is 350 to 400 children a day,"" recalls The World. Fifty dead in the european Union from 2016. Greece, Italy, Romania, Uk, Sweden... Our european neighbours are also affected : measles has killed 50 people in the EU from 2016, including 38 in Romania, according to the latest report of the european Centre for prevention and disease control (PDF in English). Last year, due to the magnitude of the epidemic, which has caused the death of four people, including three children, the Italian government has made ten vaccines required for school entry. Why measles can be deadly ? A virus that attacks the respiratory system. Measles does not cause a rash and fever. It is due to a paramyxovirus of the morbillivirus genus, which causes damage to the respiratory tract and of the nervous system. ""Measles is not a benign disease,"" insists the ARS. Most of the deaths are related to complications of the disease, the more frequent before the age of 5 years, or adults over 30 years. Among the most serious complications, the WHO cites ""the cécités, encephalitis (which can lead to cerebral oedema), severe diarrhoea (which may lead to dehydration), ear infections and severe respiratory infections such as pneumonia"". Contracted during pregnancy, measles may also lead to serious complications and lead to miscarriage. No treatment exists. As indicated by the health authorities, no specific antiviral treatment against the measles does not exist, only some of the symptoms can be treated. ""Support appropriate clinical helps to avoid the serious complications of measles,"" says the WHO. The patient should be properly fed and receive a treatment against dehydration. Antibiotics can be used to treat eye and ear infections, and pneumonia.",1436,"france"

On may 16, arrived at the hospital comarcal of Monforte, the second patient, and on the 24th two different laboratories confirmed that it was this virus to the analysis of immunoglobulin M. The suspicion came because this person had been in close contact with another user who presented with a clinical picture similar, although in this case the immunoglobulin M gave negative to the virus, but positive G. This last case had an epidemiological link with the first, that of the woman Or Boat. In none of the three patients there is a record to be vaccinated against the virus of measles, but by the age it may be that there is no record of this immunity. The Department of Health ensures that it is still unknown the origin of the first case, so that it cannot be claimed that it is imported or indigenous. Find the primeval source in a disease like the measles is complicated for a reason, his level of contagion is so high that just a simple casual contact to acquire the virus, so unless that is very obvious, it is easy to not see the origin of the first case.

How in the world can you make of this decrease in measles cases, an increase in? Very likely, you must be a qualified politician, to build from a decrease to an increase, and Vice versa. As competent people, the show officially (and allegedly) for our health, but not even being able to distinguish a decrease of cases of an increase in the number of cases? Perhaps, one can also argue, do not represent the first ten calendar weeks of the entire period, and the majority of measles cases is then broken out in the following 40 weeks in the respective years """". One must ask the question of why the RKI only the statistics for the first ten calendar weeks and not the same for the whole year? Could it be that these Figures are even less suitable to support the Drohmedizin of the school of medicine? Measles vaccinations – a fairy tale for morons But what the Numbers are always thrown in the room, regardless of how you look or not look, no one cares. Because the interest lies almost exclusively in an intensive sale of vaccinations and the related sales figures for the marketing Department of the school of medicine ""arguments"" invents, even if they are still stupid. Most of the official arguments for vaccinations are already discredited like a mantra, repeated incantations of herd immunity, gaps, 95 percent vaccination coverage, etc., etc., questions as to the validity of these ""arguments"" are the reflex of ""reckless"", ""irresponsible"", ""criminal"", etc. At least the Impfbefürworter the effort, valid relieve to bring arguments against the objections on the part of the Impfskeptiker, perhaps not least because there are hardly any valid arguments for the Bulk of the vaccinations. The only Argument in favour of vaccination, reminder, repetition, etc., of the revenue that can be retracted with this Mummery is. And the Minister of health Spahn had in the past to prove that he seems to have more than just an open ear for the concerns of the pharmaceutical industry.

"7662","The mazeleninfectie causes (in addition to the measles, mumps) long-term damage to the immune system, patients are vulnerable to other diseases. Two special techniques have to have to do this as possible, conclusive evidence has been provided. It has been discovered, with the help of a Dutch bevindelijk of the Dutch reformed community, who for religious reasons, do not allow vaccines, but still contributed to a large-scale survey. For more than a hundred years, doctors and scientists, is a phenomenon that is also referred to as the mazelenparadox it is called. Patients who are infected, build up, on the one hand, an exceptionally strong immune system to the measles, on the. But, on the other hand, are weakened in their resistance and have them for months, it is additional vulnerable to other diseases. In the last few years, it was a step-by-step, confirmed that a mazeleninfectie the immune system can be serious and long lasting damage to it, but it was unclear as to how exactly it works. Two new studies offer a unique insight into the mechanisms behind the mazelenparadox. The immune system 'forgets' the immunity of these studies were published Friday in Science, and Science and Immunology. Both studies show that the measles virus in particular, so-called B-cells it infects. These cells are made in the bone marrow and contribute to the 'memory' of the immune system. But when it comes to the body, against a measles virus to defend, in addition to the unexpectedly large proportion of these cells. It is also known as immunological memory are called. The immune system builds up, namely the immunity when you are going through infections. This information is mainly stored in the antistofproducerende of B cells in the bone marrow, precisely the cells that are attacked when the body is fighting the measles virus. The 111 is Much more at risk from measles in Europe, and This has been going on in the Biblebelt made a study of The Dutch naturalist Fiction, the Journal of the Erasmus MC, which has been involved in the two studies.

""Even though they have children are not vaccinated, the group has no objection to science or at scientists who are trying to understand how a disease works."" The Journal is co-operation with the British and the Americans, with The results of Swart and his colleagues were published last year in Nature Communications.

"11317","KIDS must be forced to have measles jabs before starting school if a nationwide outbreak is to be avoided, a study suggests.  Researchers warn voluntary uptake of the MMR vaccine has fallen too low to keep the deadly virus under control.  1 Experts warn that the UK should consider introducing compulsory measles vaccinations before children start school to prevent the spread Credit: Getty - Contributor  They found a critically high number of Brits will soon lack immunity, making it easier for measles to take hold and spread.  The boffins, from Bruno Kessler Foundation in Italy, analysed vaccine data in developed countries, including the UK.  They found 3.7 per cent of Brits are susceptible to measles and expect this to hit 8 per cent by 2050 on current trends.  Crucially, this is above the 7.5 per cent threshold at which outbreaks are thought to be more likely.  'Make jabs compulsory'  Study leader Dr Stefano Merler said introducing compulsory jabs in the UK, as in France and Italy, would keep the figure low.  He added: “Our results suggest that most of the countries we have studied would strongly benefit from compulsory vaccination at school entry in addition to current immunisation programmes.  “In particular, we found this strategy would allow the UK, Ireland and the US to reach stable herd immunity levels in the next decades.  “This means that a sufficiently high proportion of individuals are immune to the disease to avoid future outbreaks.”  Measles cases increase four-fold  British experts said it would be better to inform parents of the benefits of jabs and offer more appointments.  Dr David Elliman, from the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, said: “Compulsion may work in some countries, but it is not for us.  “Introducing compulsory vaccination in this country might reduce the very high level of trust that people have in the NHS and prove counterproductive.”  Cases of measles have increased almost four-fold in England over the past year following a fall in vaccination rates.  Scare stories  Health chiefs believe this has been fuelled by vaccine scare stories spread on the likes of YouTube and Facebook.  Health Secretary Matt Hancock has said he is “particularly worried” about the fake posts and has refused to rule out compulsory jabs.  In 1998 Dr Andrew Wakefield claimed there was a link between the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine and autism.  His research has been discredited and he has been struck off in the UK. Subsequent studies have found no link but people still spread fake scare stories.  Children should have two doses of the MMR jab to be protected, with the World Health Organisation setting a target of 95 per cent coverage.  Uptake of both jabs by the age of five has fallen in England for four years in a row, from 88.6 per cent in 2014/15 to 87.2 per cent in 2017/18.

Another 17-year-old is the subject of a ""guarded prognosis"". At the end of last month, the health authorities had announced to have recorded a decrease in the number of new cases weekly of measles since the epidemic peak reached in late march.

"5502","Already now the numbers of this year are already higher than those recorded in 2018. And are destined to increase, with adults between 30 and 40 years of age are the most affected, ""because when they were kids, in the Eighties, the vaccine had just been introduced and was not widespread"", reason Marino Faccini, head of immunizations for the Ats of Milan. And' the measles, which after the peak in 2017 and decline of the last year, since January, she started to grind contagions in Milan: so far the diagnosed cases exceed the 188, against 123 that - in total - were registered in the twelve months 2018. Here, the decision of the doctors to focus on vaccination of adults: ""The vaccine is free at any age - remember Faccini -, We have prepared a statement in the centres of vaccination, addressed to parents. That they receive when they bring their child the first dose of the measles vaccine"". Objective, to invite them to do their own injections. ""Cyclical"": it's so that experts tend to describe the trend of cases of measles, which usually touches any significant peaks every three to four years. So, if last year's Milan - Lombardy - were able to breathe a sigh of relief, because after the large number of cases of 2017 was back on values in the media, this year the alert is again high: according to the national Institute of health, Lombardy and Lazio are the regions where the number of cases, at the moment, is higher. In Lombardy, the incidence rate is 74,1 outbreaks per million population: 30 more than the Italian average, which is 44.1 sick on a million people. ""Already in 2017 - says Faccini - the epidemic had started in the North of Italy and in the more urbanised areas: there should be no surprise. Measles is a highly contagious disease, which spreads more easily in areas in which they live, most people like big cities such as Milan and Rome"". And then: of the 188 cases in milan, as calculated from corso Italia, 65 per cent is included in the range between 15 and 39 years, 20 in the one that goes from the age of 40. Be careful, though: the 6 percent is registered among children under one year of life.

"1310","Just two weeks seven people from Zagreb are sick measles. Given that we are talking about visokozaraznom the virus, the spread of the disease was not unusual. However, what particularly worries experts is the fact that seven are infected do not know that they were not in mutual contact, and were not detected no connection between them. How things work in a very short period of time seven people zarazilo in different places, causing the waist, and expects the new cases. Only one patient was undoubtedly discovered as suffered, it was confirmed that was in contact with an infected French turistom. Also, can't say with certainty whether they were infected or not cijepili. Us, as confirmed by the doctors, for only one patient with certainty established as not vaccinated because his mother decidirano odbijala vaccinations. For others, it is also assumed that they are not vaccinated, but they don't a hundred percent sure. Contagious hospital - So unlinked measles cases can really be considered neobičnima. Measles as a disease that does not arise from nothing, what caused them we get from an infected person. Because of the seven patients who seemingly have no link may at first seem counterintuitive. But the epidemic must be a logical reason. It may be that these people, not knowing where something happened, but this is almost amazing. There is a much more logical explanation, namely, that in Moscow now there are more unidentified cases of measles who are not registered anywhere, - says the doctor. Bernard Kaić, Director of epidemiology service Croatian Institute of public health (HZJZ). All seven infected liječilo at the Zagreb Clinic for infectious diseases Fran Mihaljević, and the first sufferer, as we confirmed the doctor. Sanya Zember, came to the hospital 26. Aug. - The first patient was received in late August and it was proven that he was in contact with an infected French turistom. For the rest we have no evidence that they were in contact with those who were infected. In addition, we found that was not in mutual contact, ' says the doctor. Zember and adds that on Wednesday last hospitalizirana the patient is discharged to home. - Cijepni the condition of the patients not possible with confidence to determine. For one person we know that has not been vaccinated and other patients we are unable to determine whether vaccinated or not, or whether the necessary two doses of the vaccine. Competent services, But given the fact that the vaccine protects, we believe that it is not until the end procijepljeni - the doctor says. Zember. We are talking about adults - among patients from these “childhood diseases” there is no one child: a young patient of 24 years old, and the oldest was born in 1966. year. Immediately upon arrival of patients obaviještene competent services and Department of health, and the fact that I can confirm that no patient developed more severe disease and complications, which include brain inflammation, inflammation of the lungs - the doctor continues and adds that they all had the typical symptoms. We are talking about high body temperature, treatment of respiratory problems, kašlju, quarks, nose, and in a few days, have a characteristic rash. It has its own thread and extends across the forehead of the face, behind the ears, and below on the neck, torso, limbs, down to the hands and feet. Of the disease are, explains the doctor. Kaić, was still under development was tourist season. On the other hand, we're talking about the capital, which is constantly have with us tourists. As the most likely options, there is the possibility that the suffering of whom were registered patients were infected, there were no serious clinical picture and did not visit the doctor, the doctor says. Kaić and continues, if so, they can not have the information. It's also possible the disease was unrecognized, so that it may be the reason why at the moment we have no particular explanation. Early phase - it Should be borne in mind that at the early stage of the disease when it is not yet clear since we are talking about ospicama, people normally maintain social contacts: they are the reducers of the disease, but it does not know, and move at work, in public transport, among friends, colleagues. It is because, and because of these seven patients have concerns that may be more cases, says Kaić, that does not preclude an increase in the number of patients, but also believe that there will be more outbreaks, which occurred in 2015. years, during which Croatia even recorded 206 patients. One 2015. actually specific. The epidemic outbreak in Moscow, and it is mainly in romskim resorts, where most necijepljene people. This, of course, was, and now the question is, what will happen, but in this case do not expect, - says the doctor. Kaić and comes to the conclusion that we will be using the coming days and weeks, to see how the situation develops. However, the population of Zagreb, speaks relatively well procijepljeno. Regarding the number of patients by year since 2005. until now, only two years we had a greater number of diseases than this year. The only prevention for measles, says, vaccines, and each epidemic izbijala because necijepljenja. For example, last year there was a lot of infection in Dubrovnik, where parents in recent years, mass odbijali to vaccinate children. But the situation has improved considerably, so that after the epidemic that is the Dubrovnik-Neretva County, which had the lowest level procijepljenosti, with 55 percent of vaccinated children until 2017. increased by 83 percent procijepljene generation, how many of them were registered last year. The trend of reducing the Tendency of falling vaccination began to celebrate in 2011. year, but last year for the first time begins to stagnate - in addition, compared with a year earlier, the share of bribery at the level of Croatia, increased by two percentage points. We are talking about an average 90 percent procijepljene generation, while experts believe as a collective immunity procijepljenost should be above 95 percent. Epidemiologinja Iva Pem Novosel from HZJZ-and says, as measles was the problem in the countries that surround us. - We have cases that measles is back, and in European countries, which previously fully iskorijenile, because of the lack of vaccinations, says Pem Novosel'. Measles a very contagious viral disease, and the source of the illness is the sick child or adult. The disease is transmitted through kapljičnim in direct contact with bolesnikom, and possible transmission and through a third party in close contact in the family, kindergartens and schools. The virus is very sensitive, so the transmission of the disease through a third party is possible if the contact was with bolesnikom was shorter than 10 minutes. The patient najzarazniji in the first four days. When the flashes of rash, virus is present in saliva and on sluznicama of the respiratory system. After preboljelih measles remains a strong immunity, and can not be re-sick. The incubation period lasts from 10 to 12 days. As a rule, spoke first, elevated temperature, weakness, refusal of food runny nose, cough, watery eyes, and burning eyes. These symptoms last for four to five days and then the rash moves.",1382,"croatia"

Will be approximately 1.111 the medical kits that in the next two weeks will be distributed in the areas where it was found that the greatest risk of infection. “We are facing this alarming situation because of the millions of congolese children have not received routine vaccinations and do not have access to the medical care they need when they get sick. In addition, the health system is weak, the insecurity, the mistrust of the communities towards vaccines and operators who them administered, and the difficulties in terms of logistics, have contributed to a high number of children not vaccinated and at risk of contracting the disease”, explains Beigbeder.

"3545","The measles vaccination and the vaccination are currently in a conversation without end. Reason for this is not a scientific Dispute and more such as, for example, about the sense or nonsense of safety or effectiveness, etc. of this vaccine in Particular and vaccination in General have long been. Today, we discussed only about the How and the when of a vaccination against measles. Because the people who decide are not scientifically or medically qualified experts but by politicians who listen to supposed ""experts"" that tell you what you even appear to hold for ""right"". And what is ""right"", that determine other factors and necessities. Twisted truths In my post """" I can show that the need for vaccination is based on economic interests and not on medical or scientific. Apparently, the measles seem to be a particularly great infection, which can be used to begin the process of the introduction of a generalized vaccination ever: . If it is then so far, or should be, then the policy has its citizens, where you want to have: . This is exactly why the policy (in the shoulder which is in need of an end to the industry). Without a doubt, the end of those Who considered health aspects, economic aspects, trying to combine Oil and water to each other or to realize the squaring of the circle, which should be open point of view, Doubt is liable to be a reason to seriously. This is based on the fact that the health or illnesses of the people be made to a business model with billions of dollars can earn. And the introduction of the vaccination is thus a contribution to the increase in sales of the industry. Of course, all doubts must be ignored, since they are just Sand in the economic gears: A comprehensive Overview of vaccinations and their meaning and dubiousness, I have tried in my Report """" to present and discuss: side effects of vaccinations? Deny it and Ignore it. Another milestone on the road to mandatory vaccination, the Deny and / or Ignore vaccine damage. If anyone is after a vaccination get health problems, then this is due, of course, never to the vaccination, even if the timing would suggest with any other event, a causality. Example of concerned parents for this Thesis, I know a bunch. As a result, there are no recommendations how to treat vaccine damage – what I describe in my above-mentioned book, the vaccine epidemic is in the detail! That there must be such a thing as vaccine damage, which is inferred from the fact, be inferred that the USA have their VAERS System in the side effects and vaccine damage are recorded. From here we also know that the number of reported adverse reactions and deaths in the best case, make up just 3-5 percent. More optimistic estimates range from tens of percent, which means that for each death there are nine unidentified deaths to come. The Same is also true for non-fatal side effects: . The summit and conglomerate in the efforts to legitimize measles vaccination (and other vaccinations) scientifically, to deny side effects, and to establish the effectiveness of the vaccination, was the high official attempt by the CDC in the United States, to send with a fake study the army of the opponents to the sidelines: The multi-faceted vaccination from the looks of it, the objective of vaccination is not just a duty that has to comply with each of the good German citizens. Rather, the additional changes seem to be associated with this vaccination on us to provide it to themselves for the school physician to be acceptable. And, therefore, resistance in the ranks of the school of medicine against this vaccination, or the conditions under which such vaccination should be implemented is stirring now. Because according to the ""Pharmaceutical newspaper""[1] could occur with the introduction of vaccination, there is a logistic Problem, namely how to get to the targeted 100 percent Coverage in the practice. The ""Spahn of"" proposal for the solution of the problem is that he could ""think of vaccinations in the pharmacy thoroughly"". Even the Robert-Koch-Institute recommends that assistance personnel, i.e. nurses, doctor helpers are, etc., authorized, these vaccinations to make. And even pharmacists should be authorised to pierce in to your pharmacy, your customers. That such proposals come from the Robert-Koch Institute, which does not surprise me, especially if you take a look at this post: . Of course, the school physician will see a curtailment of their powers. And if something is in danger, then you remember all at once that the usual daily business, no business is or should be. So a President of a state medical Association criticized with the values, knowledge, notice of this project that ""Vaccination is not a business"". And so this President is the first to admit that it is a business, in which the new provisions have the purpose of distributing the vaccines faster and smoother among the people, and to guarantee, therefore, the corresponding impact on the sales for the manufacturer. And this is a business that you would like to make are reluctant to to pharmacists and nurses. Resistance to the vaccination from the doctors President of The ""mercury""[2] on its website, a kind of log of the resistance against the planned vaccination. One of the most fierce defender for and against the mandatory vaccination without coercion with education, and with no penalty – Yes, what is it now? – the doctors President of the Montgomery's. As to penalties, if the vaccination is introduced. But then occurs to him that such a vaccination is difficult to implement. And because this is so difficult, should it, perhaps, but change your mind ... After all, it is a police state, when children (in handcuffs?) the Injection of the contraction. So enlightenment is better than handcuffs. But then it occurs to him: ""you will not come in addition, but also some penalties in the past."" Yes, what is it now? And then it goes back, because there might be serious reasons against vaccinations. Like this look, you can think of. In any case, there are no scientifically well-founded concern, but exceptions that would interfere with the medicine business. On the contrary, to note these exceptions could lead to such a disorder, particularly if the mass is liable to lead to forced vaccinations and more side effects. The proposal of Montgomery, as this is to do, is the height of ridiculousness hardly: He remembers the times where there was still General conscription and commissions, which had to consider the Conscience of the conscientious objector to. Such a Commission, which no longer exists today, for the military service, wants to see Montgomery as an accompanying instrument, the vaccination is implemented. It is absolutely grotesque, like Apples to pears paired. To service the gun and in service with the syringe by a Commission of review, this proposal shows what level has reached the school of medicine now. Scientific expertise is different, even if it is to the discussion of social policy issues. Massive resistance from the ""Doctors for individual vaccination decision-making e. V."" Here it is, Doctors[3], the ""for the progress of a free vaccination decision-making of each Individual following a comprehensive medical education and its own judgment formation"" to use. As the ""measles protection act"" (the disguised introduction of vaccination) looks like and what are the measures of the e. V. wants to perform, in order to prevent the adoption of the law in the Bundestag on this website read (highly recommended!): According to the ""mercury"" to criticize the Doctors for individual vaccination decision-making that a mandatory vaccination of the causes of measles outbreaks go, and moreover, unconstitutional to be. Even more interesting is the statement that there is in terms of measles vaccination Coverage of 97 percent. This applies to the first measles vaccination. I wonder immediately, almost as a reflex, why it has to come at such a high vaccination Coverage is still ""outbreaks"", if this measure is clinically relevant? So a second inoculation, because the first does not work? According to our physicians ' group, the second vaccination is overrated ""anyway and their significance"", which I interpret in a way that a further vaccination also helps not outbreaks protect. It is still ""better"" when it comes to the ""herd immunity"". Because here's the Doctors to give the effect of the second vaccination is on the herd immunity is controversial. I don't see it this way: If the first vaccination acts, where then come from a herd immunity? The only stove type to the herd immunity of the Faith of the flock called to believe in the vaccination. Amen! For Doctors for individual vaccination decision-making is at least that of the ""Spahn of"" design for vaccination is a restriction of fundamental rights, against which one intends to defend itself explicitly and, if necessary, even through legal means. Once again, the doctors President of the ""Back-and-forth-Montgomery"" To a bad end some of the specialties of the Federal chamber of physicians, President of Montgomery, of his freedom of expression-back-and-forth continues. This time he is against the ""Spahn's"" design, but without being able to (at least according to the ""mercury""), a medical or scientific Argument against the introduction of this law claim . For him, the draft law is in the negative to modest, as Spahn ""vorprescht without consequences"", that it is mere ""activism"", etc., And other projects from the Federal health Pope suddenly in the line of fire of his criticism. Since you have to ask, why is Montgomery puts this negative attitude to the day. Because he is a staunch supporter of vaccination, to even ""see impfdienst objectors"" with penalties assigned. Or he will be back tonight and again tomorrow a campaign for the vaccination support? Anyway, Montgomery is certainly not a staunch opponent of a mandatory vaccination in the sense of Doctors for individual vaccination decision-making. The article of the newspaper ""Germany courier""[4], which means that our Back-and-forth shows President impfkritische physicians from patient care wants to take. Since the chamber of Physicians is not permitted to cancel the admission/may be that impfkritische Doctors ""are in a different field"". That is, laboratory, expert work, etc. – in any case, a job where no contact with the patient more. Brave new world It is. It's here – the beautiful new world. Who presents as a Patient against the mandatory vaccination, which may be expected with sensitive fines. Who poses as a doctor against mandatory vaccination, the can only expect a reference in the clinical quarry. The facade, which has whitewash these evil machinations are the law and the work of enlightenment, which has little to do with educating the least, but quite in the spirit of totalitarian societies, ideology and brainwashing applies. If fines, quarry and brainwashing not effective, then what follows? We paid then but one day by the police in handcuffs to the vaccination? We can get prohibition from practising a profession, not only as a doctor, if we say no to vaccination? Or we will be locked up one day to the killers and warmaul, as some ""Spähnchen"" by law has determined that opponents are similarly irresponsible and dangerous as a killer and murderer? At the latest, on the day that the Lord Spahn from policy to industry changes, we know why this is all been set in motion and for whom is the (exclusively) good. But even before that, he should enjoy the full confidence of the pharmaceutical industry. Conclusion resistance is spreading against the introduction of vaccination about a ""measles protection law"", now in the circles of the school of medicine. The reasons for opposition are different. The Doctors, the President of Montgomery is a supporter of compulsory vaccination, but an opponent of the Federal health Minister Spahn, for whatever reason. In any case, there are no medical or scientific considerations that would play for the opposition a role. Maybe the Doctors President in this vaccination procedure do not feel sufficiently involved, which would explain his back and forth, to and from reasoning. Otherwise, the e. V. of Doctors for individual vaccination decision-making that seem to be the responsibility of the patient to take it seriously. I think these Doctors are not necessarily opponents or Impfskeptiker. Rather, these Doctors is to the credit of that they don't respect the personal rights of the patients, even if they are perhaps not of the same opinion. By the way, This is now the second case in the recent past, where the school physicians are not in favour of government measures. The other case is the recent discussion on the introduction of the 5G was mobile technology. Here, too, demand . Not only that, but 180 scholars from 36 countries calling for a stop to the expansion sources:[1]",1375,"germany"

Photo: Science Museum, London/Wellcome Collection Science Museum, London/Wellcome Collection  Outbreaks of measles have been detected in the east of England in the last year, it can be revealed, as it was announced that the UK has lost its measles-free status.  Share Email this article to a friend To send a link to this page you must be logged in.  Public Health bosses said the vast majority of cases had involved children who were not fully immunised and urged parents to make sure vaccines were up to date before school term time began in two weeks time.  There are 8,000 five year olds in the east of England who are not fully vaccinated.  And health bosses warned this meant some four and five year olds are starting school at unnecessary risk of serious diseases compared to the majority of their classmates.  Dr Shylaja Thomas, consultant in public health medicine and lead for screening and immunisation at Public Health England, East of England, said: ""It's a real concern that so many young children in our region could be starting school without the full protection that the NHS childhood immunisation programme offers for free.  ""We're particularly concerned about children being at greater risk of measles. We've seen outbreaks of this disease in the east of England in the past year and we're continuing to see outbreaks of the disease occurring in communities across the country, many linked to visiting European countries over the summer holidays. The vast majority of those affected are not fully immunised and vaccine preventable diseases spread more easily in schools. It's crucial that children have maximum protection as they begin to mix with other children at the start of their school journey.""  It comes as prime minister Boris Johnson took aim at anti-vaxxers - those who oppose vaccinating children.  He said: ""The UK generally has a great record on fighting measles but for the first time, we're suddenly going in the wrong direction and we're seeing an increase of about 230 new cases of measles just in the first few months of this year.  ""I think there's complacency on the part of parents about the need to get that second vaccine but also, I'm afraid, people have been listening to that superstitious mumbo jumbo on the internet, all that anti-vax stuff and thinking that the MMR vaccine is a bad idea.  You may also want to watch:  ""That's wrong.  ""Please get your kids vaccinated because it's not just the right thing for them, but also of course it is the right thing for the whole population because it might not be your kid that gets it, it could be somebody else's.""  The MMR jab vaccination rate has risen in recent years in Norfolk, up from a low of 87.5pc of children having their first dose by the age of two in 2010/11. But it is still below the 95pc benchmark at 94.3pc.  Just 91.6pc of children had the full two doses by five years old.  Hobart High School in Loddon has issued a warning to parents following three confirmed cases of illness at the school.  In the UK, dose one of the MMR vaccine, which protects against measles, mumps and rubella, is usually given to infants at around 12 months of age.  A second dose is given before school, usually at three years and four months of age, to ensure best protection. Two doses of MMR in a lifetime are needed for a person to be considered fully protected.  Although usually a mild illness in children, measles can be more severe in adults.  The initial symptoms of measles develop around 10 days after a person is infected. These can include cold-like symptoms, sore, red eyes that may be sensitive to light, and a fever.  And a few days later, a red-brown blotchy rash will appear. This usually starts on the head or upper neck, before spreading outwards to the rest of the body  Symptoms usually clear up in seven to 10 days. Complications include pneumonia, ear infections, brain inflammation (encephalitis) and even death.",1374,"uk"

To not belong to his conception of freedom term only the own integrity. But that someone is not going to happen to someone else in a community institution is unnecessary. Therefore, the planned targets were balanced to be ""good"". Spahn said: ""measles is not a childhood disease."" You could take a deadly course. According to the plans of the Grand coalition, parents should have to March 2020 prior to admission of their children in day-care centres or schools to prove that they are vaccinated. The duty is also intended for staff in nurseries and schools as well as for Employed in medical facilities. Fines will threaten up to 2500 Euro. Doctors support the advance Against such state intervention had filed, among other things, the German ethics Council's concerns. Doctors, however, support the proposed higher pressure for vaccinations. In Germany have been reported this year, according to the Robert Koch-Institute, around 500 measles cases. Spahn stressed that vaccination is one of the greatest achievements of mankind. ""We are financing in the world, with German taxpayers' money to vaccination programs, because we want to eradicate diseases."" This was succeeded in smallpox. In the case of polio was on the way, the goal is measles. ""This can only succeed if all possible let their children get vaccinated."" It is going to convince many and to remember also - this is part of also. Impfbereitschaft to grow Now would be taken, especially measles, in the view, also because they are by droplet infection is very easily transferable - significantly more than the flu, or other diseases, explained Spahn. He put but to the fact ""that the visit to the doctor, by the conversation over-Vaccinate at the same time, the willingness to grow, to can also be used against other diseases vaccination"". Meanwhile, there is also a vaccine against cervical cancer. ""If we can manage to vaccinate all young women and girls, then we could eradicate this cancer."" Pediatricians promote a further vaccination for other infectious diseases such as whooping cough. The law provides, in addition to the measles vaccination compulsory for more new regulations. So rape victims should get a ""confidential forensic"" investigations about to cum, roofies or alcohol in the future nationwide by the statutory health insurance funds paid.

"3547"," The Federal court has decided that We have won the measles Virus process are final. Dear readers, we wish you a peaceful and successful year 2017, which begins for us, for you and all the people with the good news: The Federal court of justice (BGH) decided in measles-Virus-process. The I. civil Senate of the BGH has confirmed the judgment by the Oberlandesgericht Stuttgart (higher regional court) from the 16.2.2016. In the year 2011 by me, which was awarded € 100,000 for a scientific proof of the existence of the alleged measles Virus does not need to be paid to the plaintiff. This was also condemned to pay all costs of the proceedings. In the process, have brought five experts and the results of scientific research presented. All five reviewers, including the only court representative, Prof. Dr. Dr. Andreas Podbielski have consistently found that none of the six are in the process of tabled publications contains a scientific evidence for the existence of the alleged measles Virus. Genetics of resistance of existence assertions, In the process, the results of studies on the so-called genetic finger were incorporated submit to a fingerprint of the alleged measles Virus. Two recognized laboratories, including the world's largest and leading genetic Institute, came independently to exactly the same results. The results prove that the authors of the six publications of the measles Virus were wrong process and as a direct result of today, all of the measles virologists are mistaken: you have interpreted the normal components of cells as components of the suspected measles-Virus fails. Because of this error in a decades-long consensus-building process were brought together, normal cell components conceptually to a model of a measles Virus. An actual structure that corresponds to this model, was found neither in man, nor in an animal. With the results of the genetic investigations of all existence-claims to the measles Virus are refuted scientifically. The authors of the six publications, and all other parties Involved, this error is not noticed, because they violate the fundamental scientific duty, ""lege artis"", to work according to the internationally defined rules of science. They performed no control experiments. The implementation of the control experiments would have protected authors and humanity prior to this momentous mistake. This error was the basis of the belief in the existence of all disease-causing viruses. [1] The court-appointed expert Prof. Dr. Dr. Podbielski has confirmed this to be due to the demand of the trial court on page 7 at the top of the Protocol [2] explicitly States that the authors performed no control experiments. The Stuttgart higher regional court overturned the 16.2.2016 the failure judgment of the first instance dismissed the action and referred to the Central message of Prof. Podbielski of the six publications. The plaintiff tried to bring a complaint to the Supreme court, the judgment of the OLG case. As justification, he brought his subjective but factually incorrect perception of the process sequence in Stuttgart, and the claim that our naming of facts is measles a threat to public health. The allegations of the plaintiff were rejected by the BGH, with clear words. Thus, the court has confirmed the judgment of the OLG Stuttgart from 16.2.2016 [3]. Conclusions The six in the process of submitted publications the relevant publications for ""measles Virus."" There are in addition to these six publications evidence of no other publications in which scientific methods have been tried to prove the existence of the measles Virus, have the Use the Supreme court judgment in the measles-Virus process and the results of the genetic investigations of the consequences will be All the national and international statements about the suspected measles Virus, the Infectivity of measles and the safety of the measles vaccination, have been deprived of the semblance of a scientific approach, and thus the legal Basis. By requests, which triggered competitions to the measles Virus-price, has stood the head of the National reference Institute for measles, at the Robert Koch-Institute (RKI), Prof. Dr. Annette Mankertz, an important fact. This admission may explain the increased vaccine damage rate, specifically the measles-vaccination and why, and how this vaccination increased autism triggers. [4] Prof. Mankertz conceded that the ""measles Virus"" contains typical cellular components (ribosomes, the protein factories of the cells). Since the measles vaccination from ""whole measles virus"" is, in this vaccine the cell's own structures. This explains why the measles vaccine has been more frequent and more severe allergies and auto-triggers immune responses than other vaccines. The court expert Prof. Podbielski stated several times that to submit with the statement of the RKI ribosomes in the measles virus, the existence-claims of a measles-Virus are. In the process, as well files was informed that the highest scientific authority in the field of infectious diseases, the RKI has, contrary to its statutory mandate in section 4 of the infection protection act (IfSG) to create studies of the alleged measles Virus, and to publish. The RKI claims that it has conducted internal investigations for measles Virus, but refuses to give the results to hand over or publish.

""Measles protection is the protection of children,"" said Spahn. Measles was ""not a harmless childhood disease"", however, it is not therapy. With the law, namely the freedom not to be unnecessarily compromised, would at the same time, protected health and freedom, he pointed out. What is measles?

In a second Phase of the disease is a rash with reddish-brown spots forming. Contagious the measles are already about five days before the rash is visible. The incubation period after infection is eight to ten days. For the year 2016, the world health organization estimates that 89.780 people in the globe died as a result of the infection. Most of the dead are children under five years of age. So 2016 was the first year in which the number of measles deaths was below the 100,000 mark. The cause of death may be due to the Virus caused inflammation of the brain. In addition, the pathogen weakens the immune system, making infections with other viruses or bacteria severe can run. Thanks to vaccination, the number of deaths declined cases since 2000, more than 84 percent. Previously, up to 548.000 people died on average every year from the consequences of a measles infection. Vaccination and side effects Since 1984, the world health organization, the goal of the measles, due to the consistent vaccination to eradicate. The vaccine is a live virus vaccine, prepared from attenuated measles virus. It is combined with attenuated Mumps and rubella pathogens and is therefore referred to as the MMR vaccine. The Standing Committee on vaccination (Stiko) at the Robert Koch-Institute recommends a first vaccination for children between the ages of eleven and 14 months. Until the end of the second year of life (recommended at the age of 15 to 23 months) is also supposed to be the second MMR vaccination is carried out. Especially due to a very low vaccination Coverage at the time of second vaccination of young children, the immunity in this country is lower than that of the world health organization called for. A rate of 95 percent for the measles in a country as eliminated. The Stiko recommends, therefore, all people who were born after 1970, immunization with the MMR vaccine, if they are not vaccinated or don't know. Side effects of vaccination are rare. This redness at the injection site shortly after vaccination and in the short term, and slight fever may occur. In part, patients suffer from headaches, fatigue or gastrointestinal discomfort. Even more rare allergic reactions, inflammation, longer-lasting joint or a possible inflammation of the Brain. Spahn also said that, in the future, the Public health service could offer more number of vaccinations in schools. With the measles vaccination, de facto, will be introduced for those Affected is also a vaccination for Mumps and rubella, and also, in part, chicken pox, since in Germany only multiple vaccines are approved. From the point of view of Spahn is a desired side-effect: ""There is no fundamental right to rubella in this country, and that is why it is good if we can avoid in case of doubt, additional infectious diseases, in order,"" he said. The Opposition criticized the austerity measures, FDP, Linke and the greens criticized in the Bundestag, that the Public health service was broken has been saved and this has also led to falling vaccination rates. Gesine Lötzsch (Left) called for a ""creative public Relations"" and vaccination campaigns in the workplace. Cordula Schulz-ash (Green) demanded that the large gaps in the case of 20 - would have to be addressed to 50-Year-old. Andrew Ullmann (FDP) called for sanctions against Doctors who were wrong about vaccinations. This year, 501 people in Germany so far, measles is ill, such as from the online database of the Robert Koch Institute shows. The Federal government refers to the fact that measles are one of the most contagious diseases. In order to prevent the circulation of the pathogens in at least 95 percent of the population immunity required. Germany had not achieved the necessary vaccination rates but so far.",1356,"germany"
"1422","According to the authors of this discovery that even more increases the importance of vaccination. Measles is a highly contagious viral disease, which is still one of the main causes of child mortality. Globally, although the number of deaths is declining, but in recent years, the disease returns even in countries where it was in the past vymýcená – problem also applies to the Czech republic. The effect of measles can be, according to new research, compared to amnesia. After a person with this disease is infected, he forgets the body, how to fight with microorganisms that previously could without problems defeat. Basically measles resets the immune system to its original state, which greatly reduces its ability to defeat the infection, which in the future meets. In the treatment is by law compulsory hospitalization in infectious department, and insulation for a period of seven days from appearance of rash. The quarantine must also all unvaccinated who are sick have met. Measles is a highly contagious viral disease. The incubation period, i.e. the time from the intrusion of the disease agent into the body after the first symptoms is about 7 to 21 days. Scientists pointed it out after the detail examined the unvaccinated children of the protestant community in the Netherlands. The doctors removed the year 2013 the blood of children during an outbreak and then another two months after that. The action of the virus in the blood, then examined the scientific teams in the United states, the Netherlands and Great Britain. Experts focus on the impact of measles antibody, and the immune system. The problem is that the measles virus can these cells invade, infect, and destroy – and that then causes the immune amnesia. According to the results published in the professional journal Science in examined children occurred after measles to the loss of an average of twenty percent of the antibodies. At one of the children, which affected the measles exceptionally strongly, there has been a loss of 73 percent of antibodies. ""The measles are like the first ten years of untreated HIV infection, but vtěsnaných in a few weeks,"" said Michael Mina for the british station BBC. The biggest problem is in sub-saharan Africa Scientists have not yet been able to describe this problem perfectly. Antibodies are not equivalent – some are just very few active, but others may be able to completely destroy some microscopic invader. If there is damage to or destruction of this important antibodies, it can really be a major problem.",1355,"czech"

The World Health Organization (WHO) and the Congolese government aim to carry out the emergency programme across the country in slightly more than a week.  The WHO says the epidemic is the world's largest and fastest moving.  It has killed more Congolese people this year than Ebola.  Despite previous rounds of immunisations, the disease has spread to every part of the country.  Lack of routine access to vaccinations and healthcare has contributed to the problem.  ""The DRC is experiencing a dire situation because too many children were missed by routine immunisation,"" said Dr Deo Nshimirimana, WHO representative to the DR Congo.  ""[The outbreak] is deadly because the case management is not there,"" he told the BBC's Newsday programme.  ""We don't have the resources really to prevent the disease and also to try to prevent the deaths so... measles is very deadly in this country. We are trying our best really to prevent the disease, but also to try to have resources to get supplies so that we can manage the cases.""

The largest was the epidemic that ravaged parts of West Africa from 2014 to 2016, killing more than 11,000 people.  DR Congo has struggled to get the outbreak under control, given the insecurity in the east of the country and people's suspicion of treatments.

To speak these words, during the return flight from his trip to Africa, pope Francis, speaking with journalists, he said, precisely, not to fear a schism in the Church in the Usa. “There is dialogue, there is the fix if there is any mistake, but the path in the schism is not a christian,” explained the Pontiff. According to the Pope, ""a schism is always an elite status, ideology, detached from the doctrine, an ideology, perhaps a right one, but which enters into the doctrine and the branches off and becomes a doctrine, between the quotation marks, but for a long time"". “For this I pray that there are no schisms. But I'm not afraid,” he said. And again: “To help that this does not happen, I respond to the criticisms, all in all I do. But this is one of the results of Vatican II, is not that this Pope or the other Pope or the other Pope... For example, things social that I say are the same that John Paul II has said, the same, I copy him. ‘But the Pope is too communist, eh', enter of the ideologies in the doctrine, and when doctrine slips on ideology, there is the possibility of a schism”.

The good news is that the infections are falling, First at the european level for the number of people infected. Seconds, behind Romania, for cases in every million of inhabitants. Are anything but enviable results achieved by our Country thanks to the propaganda of the NoVax and the consequent decline of the covers. Phenomena of an epidemic which from the beginning of the year, has down killed four people. The numbers come from the latest report of the Ecdc (European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control), the european agency based in Stockholm that focuses on issues related to health. According to the latest bulletin, which reports data on the time period between October 2016 and September 2017, in the old continent you are registered 12.743 cases of measles. These adjustments 4,925, almost 39%, in Italy. Just behind Romania, with 4.854. The overtaking of the romanians occurred between September and October of this year.

"2000","It is a subject that is highly sensitive on both sides of the Rhine : the vaccination. Specifically, vaccination against measles. If France has made it mandatory in 2018, this is not (yet) the case of Germany. The subject for the past several months the subject of lively discussions in addition to-Rhine. Because the government, via the minister of Health, Jens Spahn (CDU), not only to make them mandatory, but also punish by a fine of up to 2,500 euros for parents who are refractory. A measure of shock, but that there is consensus within the grand coalition : the text should be adopted before the summer and enter into force on 1 march 2020. Measles is on the rise in Germany, as elsewhere in the world. Since 1 January, according to the federal Institute of epidemiological studies Robert Koch, 391 cases of measles have been identified – against 543 for the entire year 2018, which suggests a peak to 2019. A report from the european Centre prevention and control (ECDC), may 28, there are 2 093 case between 2016 and 2019. According to this same document, measles is endemic in Germany, as in other four EU countries : Belgium, France, Italy, Romania. In the eyes of the German authorities, the vaccination rate is insufficient. According to the latest bulletin of the Robert Koch Institute, 97.1% of children arriving at school have received the first injection of the vaccine, but ""only"" up to 92.8% for the second. Gold says the institute, a rate of 95% is recommended in order to overcome the measles. Local specificity : thirty years after the fall of the Wall, there are still variations between the Länder of the former FRG and the former GDR. Children living in the eastern Länder are still better immunized than the other – it was mandatory in the former GDR. The movement antivaccins also has its supporters in Germany. This is not so, as in the districts ultraorthodoxes of Brooklyn, for reasons strictly religious, even if in the Länder of the south, most catholics, the vaccination rate is lower than elsewhere. Especially, in a country where distrust of the drugs and antibiotics is obvious, it also grows a distrust of vaccines. Religious freedom and parental rights In addition, some of the Germans have been sensitive to the thesis establishing a link between vaccination and autism of former researcher Andrew Wakefield, yet invalidated by the international scientific community. His film Vaxxed - Die schockierende Wahrheit !? (""Vaxxed - the shocking truth !?"") has been broadcast in several cinemas in germany at its output. But all Germans are not, as a fierce ""antivaccins"" : the psychologist Cornelia Betsch, who has studied this type of population and their speech, distinguishes between ""opponents of vaccination,"" and ""vaccino-skeptics"", with which it is possible to discuss. The opponents of compulsory vaccination argue in particular that the new law would be unconstitutional, relating to the religious freedom and parental rights. And, as often in Germany, the debates have largely turned to the essay of philosophy. Because face it, provaccins also have arguments : ""The individual's freedom stops when it endangers the health of others"", said the head of the SPD, Andrea Nahles. Sign that the subject mobilizes all of the world : the new strong party in Germany, the Greens, had to put water in his wine on the subject.

"5516","What originated in Italy, and the epidemic of measles which, without a doubt, is ongoing, and has led the minister of Health, Beatrice Lorenzin and the government of Paolo Gentiloni, to launch among a thousand polemics, the famous decree on the 10 compulsory vaccinations? The answer to the question officially so far was not given. The number of cases has exploded substantially in consistency with the data on the first vaccination and with those on the references-mandatory that are actually lower than recommended by the world Health organization. But they were also in the previous years, when there were no numbers from the epidemic in Italy. Some doubt about the origin of the re-emergence of measles in Europe was advanced by the ECDC, the european medicines agency for the prevention of diseases, which assumes in its most recent reports that the recovery of the disease can be “import”. The european, however, does not help, because many countries do not record the nationality of origin of the sick, and then you can do analysis of certain. Definitely the measles was present in many african and asian countries which are parties to the flows of recent immigration in Europe. The only report made public on this matter from health authorities, the Italian dates back to the end of 2015, and this hypothesis of the european health authorities is the foundation. To assess the state of health of migrants and the spread of disease is the Speim (Public Health and Emergency Immigration) of the national Institute of Health. Data are protected by privacy, and accessible only to operators of the sector. However, it has been published, briefly, once, on the 16th of November 2015, the final report on the “surveillance syndromic infectious disease aimed at migrant populations that are hosted in the centres for immigrants”. The period examined is that between the first of march and the 31st August 2015 in 22 of the 32 centres identified by the Region of Sicily, with a population daily average of around 6-7 thousand units (the big one - the Cara of Mineo had 3.330). Have been counted 2.531 “syndromes” that have caused 48-alert 16 alarms serious. These 2.496 were classified as “infestations”, and the relationship explain that they are due “mainly to the cases of scabies, and for the febrile illness with the rush of the skin due to cases of measles and/or chickenpox”. Even if they are not provided the numbers of the other disease, it is the first plausible explanation of the recovery on the epidemic cases of measles in Italy between 2016 and 2017, in the presence of more or less the same number of immunisations of the previous years. This disease, which is the source of all the controversies that have accompanied the decree on compulsory vaccinations in Italy - is, therefore, definitely of import. The problem now is to see how the obligation of vaccination will be respected in the reception centres and in the facilities for asylum-seekers and refugees, because, if the outbreak is there originated serves very little to the decree Lorenzin so as has been imagined: those kids don't go, of course, in the schools of childhood, and the disease is widespread even among adults, as the average age of the contracting parties is to be of 27 years. The reports of the european chemicals agency ECDC explain in detail that the same origin (import by migrants) have new outbreaks of the virus that appeared to be either gone or at least much reduced in Europe. As in the case of tuberculosis, “imported by the migrants, who are affected in a totally non-proportional to the average of the cases in the native populations in Europe”. Or for recovery of cases of Hiv infection (Aids), of import even if with different origins in different european countries: in some it is due to immigration from south america, and in others immigration from sub-saharan Africa. Four out of ten cases of Hepatitis B recorded in the 18 countries of the Euro area are of “import”, even if the percentage fluctuates greatly from country to country, with results close to zero in Estonia and the highest peak of Sweden, where the virus in the 96,1% of the cases the immigrants. The malaria is “imported” in 99% of cases officially registered in the 28 european countries, and not for journeys made by europeans in exotic countries, since patients all of whom were born in other continents. The purpose of the agency, of course, is not to create alarm, or to give weapons and foreign policy controversies of any nature, but on the contrary, to give instructions and more detailed to european governments for the prevention and the care of the health of migrants also try to limit the spread of certain diseases and avoid outbreaks in the indigenous population. Tb and Hiv are the two major problems are from the immigrant population, and not only for the large flows that Europe has had to face in recent years, but also the arrival from countries at risk of seasonal workers that are officially required by the various european countries. Both diseases are monitored all the years from the’ ECDC that churns out every six months various reports to update on the situation and the eventual successes in the prophylaxis. Attention is required because, for example, in ten european countries it is reported that more than half of new cases of Hiv infection relate to the immigrant population.

"30104","Re-emerging measles new research warns of the risks of not vaccinating children ABC Madrid Updated: 06/09/2019 09:35h Save Send news by email Your name * Your email * Your email address * A new research, presented at the 5th Conference of the Vaccines of the European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (Escmid) warns of the risks of not vaccinating children, which can extend far beyond a specific vaccine, although, currently, the most urgent problem to address is the resurgence of the measles. Measles, an infectious disease highly contagious, it is fatal and causes fever, rash and other symptoms in most children, and complications such as pneumonia and swelling of the brain. In 2018, worldwide, the measles killed approximately 1 out of every 75 children infected with the virus, which caused over 100,000 deaths. In addition, the research conducted by the assistant professor Michael Mina, in the Centre of the Dynamics of Communicable Diseases of the School of Public Health, Harvard TH Chan and the Harvard Medical School, and colleagues from his group and from other groups strongly suggests that infection by measles in individuals not vaccinated children increase the risk of other infectious diseases severe posterioresen 2-3 years post-infection. Therefore, after you survive the measles, children can become sick or die from other infections that previously developed immunity, but this immunity was removed by the measles virus. Mortality This observation, backed by numerous studies (with the mechanism still in research) shows that when the measles virus infects a person, primarily infects a large proportion of the memory cells of the immune system. This gives as a result the call inmunoamnesia, by which the immune system can't remember some of the diseases that has been fought in the past, exposing the children to re-infection with these other diseases. These findings help to explain the mysterious large falls in the mortality of up to 50% after the introduction of vaccines against measles, although before vaccines measles is usually associated with much less than 50% of child deaths. This has gone unnoticed in previous years because the doctors do not bind, for example, a death due to other infectious disease with an infection of measles, that child could have been held two years before and that erased the memory immune of the child to the other pathogen infection. ""Before the vaccination, measles infected nearly everyone. Because now we think that the infections of measles can erase the memory immune pre-existing, to prevent infection by the measles through vaccination, we avoid future infections with other infectious diseases,"" explains the doctor Mine. According to remember, the epidemiological data from the United Kingdom, the united States and Denmark show that the measles makes children have a greater risk of mortality from infectious diseases other infections not related to the measles for about 2-3 years. Memory cells ""Before vaccination, the incidence of measles from year to year could explain almost all the variation in deaths from infectious diseases that have not occurred for several decades. On the whole, he adds, this suggests that measles may have been associated with as much as half of all child deaths due to infectious diseases before vaccination and, therefore, explain the mysterious large declines in mortality observed after the introduction of the vaccine"". According to adventure, ""it may be that the only way for a child to recover from this inmunoamnesia is if your memory cells ""re-learn"" how to recognize and defend yourself against diseases that had known before, and may do so by re-exposure to the pathogen or revaccination against that particular infection"". However, is this new exposure to other pathogens which poses long-term risks after a measles infection. A recent epidemiological study conducted by the colleague of the doctor Mine, dr. Rik de Swart, Department of Virociencias the Erasmus Medical Center in the Netherlands analyzed the clinical outcomes of more than 2,000 children infected with measles in the United Kingdom. Highest rates In that study, they found that children were much more likely to require visits to the doctor, and had higher rates of prescription of antibiotics for 2-5 years after the measles. To mitigate these long-term effects, the doctor Mine suggested that ""it might be reasonable to consider re-vaccination with other childhood vaccines after measles infection"". However, he adds that, ""because many children infected with measles usually have not been vaccinated, therefore, probably the most important conclusion of these fascinating studies is that preventing measles by vaccination is crucial and the high vaccination coverage is a critical step in today.""",1290,"spain"
"2002","Was such that the ministry of Health is split by a press release rather alarmist march 20 : ""the rapid increase in The number of cases and the identification of outbreaks in several regions are leading to fears of an epidemic on the territory as a whole. In this context, the health authorities recall that the vaccination is the only protection individual and collective against measles. Effective protection is two doses of the vaccine. For any person who is at least 12 months and born after 1980, there is an urgent need to check its vaccination and consult their doctor in case of doubt"". Overall, an upsurge of cases of the highly contagious disease currently affects several european countries, and France is no exception. Last February, a family from the Var vacation has re-introduced the measles in Costa Rica, a country that no longer had a known imported case since 2014 and of indigenous cases since 2006. The largest outbreaks assets are located in Auvergne, Rhône-Alpes (55 cases -38 suspected and 17 confirmed - at Val Thorens in the Savoie region and 3 cases in the nearby valleys), The Meeting (43 cases reported since December 2018 as a result of transmissions ""imported"" from Madagascar, Comoros or Mayotte, Mauritius) and in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'azur (17 cases -6 confirmed, 11 probable - in children of a primary school and kindergarten in the Var). Since 1 January 2019, 405 cases of measles were reported (compared to 1156 cases over the same period in 2018), 127 (31%) hospitalized (8 in the icu), 34 (8%) complicated pneumonia, 1 death (encephalitis). 93% of the cases have occurred in patients with non-or improperly vaccinated, and 58 departments reported at least one case during the period. According to the data from INVS, the number of cases of measles has increased significantly since November 2017. Only ""good"" news : once we had the measles, one is protected for life. The vaccine is reimbursed at 100 % for children and young people up to 17 years of age. Check with your physician if your vaccination is up to date : for the persons born after 1980, two doses of vaccine are recommended. In over 15 years, in half of all cases of measles, hospitalisation is necessary. Measles can occur at any age, if you have not been vaccinated or if you have not already had. It should be that 95% of the population is vaccinated in order to eradicate the virus. Scarlet fever This infectious disease of the skin characterized by a rash and oral. It mainly affects children 5 to 10 years of age and occurs in the majority during the winter, causing small epidemics that spread to the school. Adults are rarely affected. A resurgence of the disease has been reported in England between 2014 and 2016, according to the british medical journal The Lancet. In France, several cases of scarlet fever have been reported in June 2018 at an institution of Antibes (Alpes-Maritimes), according to Nice-Matin. Recently, it is in classes at Agen (Lot-et-Garonne) that this condition has been detected, according to the South West, but also in a creche in Sevres, near paris, according to our information. However, it is difficult to get an accurate idea of the number of cases because it is not a notifiable disease. It is manifested by a high fever, a sore throat and a rash that starts under the armpits, in the folds of the elbow and the groin. The tongue will be white before fading to red at the end of a few days. Scarlet fever is treated with antibiotics. Scurvy scurvy, the ""disease of the seafarer"", is a condition most common in developing countries, and is currently on the rise in developed countries due to changes in our eating habits. Several cases have been reported in Australia in 2016, 20 to 30 cases in the United States since 5 to 6 years, and 10 cases have been identified by doctors at the university hospital of Limoges, france between 2014 and 2015.

"12215","Public Health England (PHE) is calling for all parents to get their children vaccinated against measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) when the vaccine is offered, or for them to take it up now if they didn’t have it at the scheduled time.  In the first quarter of 2019, there were 231 confirmed cases of measles. This figure is slightly lower compared to the same quarter last year. As measles is highly infectious, anyone who has not received two doses of MMR vaccine is at risk, particularly unvaccinated people travelling to countries where there are currently large outbreaks of measles. The recent measles cases are mainly occurring in under-vaccinated communities, particularly those with links to other countries with ongoing measles outbreaks. There has also been some spread into the wider population, such as those who may have missed out on the MMR vaccine when they were younger.  In the final quarter of 2018 94.9% of eligible children aged five received the first dose of MMR. To achieve herd immunity for measles at least 90-95% of the population need to be fully protected. One dose of the MMR vaccine is about 90-95% effective at preventing measles. After a second dose the level of protection is around 99%. Coverage of the second dose is at 87.4% for children aged five. PHE is therefore urging those who have only had one dose to ensure they are fully vaccinated with two doses.  This quarter, 795 cases of mumps have also been confirmed. No new cases of rubella were reported.  The MMR vaccine is given on the NHS as a single injection to babies as part of their routine vaccination schedule, usually within a month of their first birthday. A second injection of the vaccine is given just before starting school, usually at 3 years and 4 months. The vaccine is also available to all adults and children who are not up to date with their two doses. Anyone who is not sure if they are fully vaccinated should check with their GP and those planning to travel to Europe should check NaTHNaC travel health advice.",1288,"uk"

From the beginning of the year until Friday, 21. march I got sick of 360 people, said THU. Last year it was 203 for the entire year. The latest data from laboratories show that a considerable part of the population against measles immune is not. ""More than one-third of people with a documented vaccination, whether one or two doses, does not currently have a sufficient level of antibodies,"" says Aneta Medonosová of laboratories Synlab, where you just in the middle of march left to measure the level of antibodies more than two thousand people. It is pětašedesátkrát more than two years earlier. Of much greater interest is his own vaccination. Need a vaccination center company Avenier, which has throughout the republic of twenty-one affiliates, register now, more than a tenfold interest. The vaccine begins to be a lack of What are the measles? An infectious disease begins like a cold with fever, cough, rhinitis, světloplachostí and redness of the eye conjunctivitis. In the mouth appears whitish dots zarudlým the surroundings and after a few days they added a red rash that starts in the back of the neck and spreads to the face, abdomen and limbs. Vaccination against measles was in the republic, initiated in 1969. Older vintages, if the plague have undergone, should be immune. Immunity resulting from vaccination in the childhood, but gradually weakening. In the years 1970 to 1975, to apply only one dose of spalničkové vaccine and therefore protection for these years can not be after such a long time regarded as sufficient. The demand for control of the levels of antibodies and subsequently after vaccination, however, is not just from adults. Still more to change their minds as well as parents, who until recently your offspring vaccinate refused. ""Come as well as parents with older children who before wouldn't want to,"" confirms epidemiologist Rastislav Hungarian from the Institute of epidemiology and public health of the Medical faculty of the university of Ostrava and the expert guarantor of the center of Vaccination and travel medicine Avenier. With the expanding of diseases which have already struck in addition to the karlovy vary region the whole territory of the republic, however according to the Hungarian also changing the attitudes of parents who children may vaccinate they leave, but maybe the first dose of the vaccine from the period between the 13. and 18. month of age of the child push the latest possible date. Now, on the contrary, pushes it to the child order as soon as possible. Interested also have doctors. ""Increased orders from the hospitals. They can really assume that the vaccine will be used primarily for the needs of the hospital staff,“ confirms manager Avenieru Peter Řeha. Doctors, however, warn that the vaccine due to the increasing demand is not so easily available. Until recently, no one really counted on, that should be supplies for someone else than for kids. ""We were informed that if we want to order ten vaccines, we can only get five,"" describes his experience zlín general practitioner for adults Lubomír Nečas. A temporary shortage of vaccines was confirmed by the epidemiologist Hungarian, the situation is but according to him I managed to solve. Ordered supplies from another manufacturer and this vaccine in the Czech republic, according to him, there is. In the number of cases of measles leads clearly Prague. Behind it is the moravian-Silesian region, followed by Pardubice. In the last-mentioned I have experienced how annoying it can be when a greater number of people will come unknowingly into contact with the sick. 75 of the local fire department is now in a three-week quarantine, which ordered the health department. All the firefighters were in training together with the instructor, who was a measles infected. According to the spokesman pardubických firefighters Vendula Horáková fortunately, the choir is not completely paralyzed. Status compared to the summer, when part of the employee draws vacation. Due to measles have had to limit production at the beginning of march and the trutnov Siemens. Twenty people, there infection get sick, and about four hundred were tested for levels of antibodies. It's rejection of vaccination the Reason for the increasingly higher prevalence of measles, according to experts, insufficient vaccination coverage of children and decreasing the level of antibodies in vaccinated people. Most cases, over ninety diseases, records of the State health department, according to recent data in people between 35 to 45 years, with about half of them in my childhood only got one dose. More contagious than the flu <U+25CF> Measles is a highly contagious. If a person comes into contact with the sick, is several times greater likelihood of cross-infection than in influenza. Manifested with high fever, cough, conjunctivitis and whitish dots zarudlým environment in the oral cavity. The rash usually appears on the fourth day of fever. <U+25CF> Cases of measles nenarůstají only in the Czech republic. This year to us foreigners brought in 19 cases, ten of them were from Ukraine. Just in Ukraine amount to tens of thousands of patients, for some with measles become fatal. <U+25CF> The disease is also spreading in Romania, Serbia or France. Under the condition of reliable collective protection is considered to be 95 percent proočkované of the population with two doses. <U+25CF> Currently it meets only six european countries – Croatia, Iceland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia and Sweden. <U+25CF> In the event that a person comes into contact with the sick, he can still protect subsequent vaccination. The vaccine is effective within 72 hours after contact. Rastislav Hungarian recommended to everyone who was born in the 70's. years, when she used one dose of the vaccine, to get straight to be revaccinated. Vaccinate as the first began to children born in the year 1968. It is assumed that most people born before the measles had, and therefore has lifelong immunity. ""We have already but we were vaccinated nurse who came into contact with the sick and was a 1966,"" notes Hungarian. People born in the 80's. years would, according to him should get tested for antibodies. It costs about 700 kroner. The price alone of vaccination differs depending on whether one goes into a vaccination center, or to a gp. It comes roughly in the 800 to 1 000 crowns. The vaccine itself only against measles in the Czech republic is not available, only trivakcína still against mumps and rubella. ""Monovakcína is in Europe, registered in Switzerland only and is of indian origin,"" he adds epidemiologist. The disease, however, continued to spread, even among medical professionals, the last time the county health department ordered the emergency vaccination of health workers also in one of the hospitals in the Pilsen region. Into contact with the outbreak there were dozens of people. In February it was the same measure as announced in the vinohrady hospital in Prague. To a large extent is testing of antibody levels of interest and general practitioners. As well as health professionals in hospitals are often the first, who ill meet. Testing them already in the first half of February recommended as the main hygienist Eva Gottvaldová with the fact that their examination is covered by public health insurance. The incidence of measles in districts of the CZECH republic ""Collection of the material and the examination of antibodies, it is possible to reimburse in the case that there are objective reasons, for example the person has been exposed to the risk of infection and this medical performance is the insured indicated to the competent doctor,"" informed MF dnes, ministry of health. But the General health insurance company sees it differently, and to cover the not. In a letter to one of the doctors said the director of the department of health care regional branch Ostrava Michal Vojáček. ""Reimbursement of the test antibodies or any vaccination in this context, from the funds of public health insurance cannot be done,"" he wrote. However, from the expression that the MF TODAY by the ministry and subsequently the insurance company, it is obvious that both entities may refer to the same section of the act on public health insurance, every but on a different paragraph. Yet, from the observations of the interviewed doctors, it is apparent that with the reimbursement of the test on antibodies from the insurance company count. Test everywhere the Ministry of health now no extraordinary measures going. The only measures thus remains the recommendation for revaccination of employees of all medical facilities, it services. In a similar vein about something before she turned the main hygienist to the president of the Czech medical chamber Milan Kubka with a request for cooperation in the investigation of the antibody. Specifically, for workers at the departments of paediatrics, dermatology and venereology, to the infectious wards, on the urgent income and for doctors in the first line of contact with patients – i.e. practitioners. ""Knowledge of the levels of antibodies in the individual health professionals will allow a reasonable adjustment of the anti-epidemic measures,"" - said the representative of the ministry of health Jan Brodsky.

There is a shortage of the vaccine against the measles in the republic of Madagascar and the parents can't afford to have their children vaccinated. In recent months, nearly 1,000 people have died of the disease, most of them young children. Two months ago, was playing the sherman Istanbul four-year-old son, along with his two younger cousins, one of The local beaches. Now, all three of the children are dead. These are three of the 922 people in Madagascar died of the measles as of October. They were so full of life, "" says Dada in a trembling voice, told Reuters. Couldn't afford medicine, Istanbul, the son, Limberaza, and had received the first dose of the vaccine against measles. However, a second dose will cost more than 50 000 ariary (140 dollars) in a health care center – a lot of money for a family to live on the international poverty line of 2 US dollars a day. I would not be able to afford to take him to the hospital, "" says Dada. Instead, they bought medicine from a doctor on the street. In January, Limberaza cough. A couple of weeks later, he was dead. His two cousins, who have not received any vaccines at all, followed the same fate shortly thereafter. Thousands of children die Despite the fact that the mässlingvaccin is a very effective dog 110 000 people in the disease in 2017, according to the world health organization (WHO).

Despite the fact that the spread of false information, which led to resistance to vaccination, and new outbreaks have popped up in recent times – even in Europe-even in Sweden. In Madagascar, is addressed to the population with a much bigger problem than that. It is one of the world's poorest countries, and half of all children are malnourished. In order to get their hands on the vaccine, families may have to walk for hours along the dangerous roads, where they run the risk of being robbed. Often the doctor's office is closed or the doctor is not there when they arrive. The other problem is that the vaccine must be kept cold and many of the poor families do not have access to the electricity or the refrigerator. The difficulty is to get the vaccine, have led to the parents taking the children to a traditional healer instead. The children are taken to hospital only when their condition has deteriorated, say, Manitra Rakotoarivony, a physician with a manager at The folkhälsodepartement. To extend the vaccine programmes, Two-thirds of The children are not vaccinated. Many of the others, which is Limberaza, just got a dose of the drug. An emergency program has been set up to provide free vaccines to its population. So far, it's only for the first dose is free, but in Madagascar, hoping to be able to start a two-dosprogram of the year, which provides the two required doses of the vaccine. Lay, the mother of Limberazas's cousin, Mario, fighting now to keep a hold of the vaccine for their other child, for that is not he is going to die from the disease. We had never been able to believe that the lack of a vaccine might be able to kill him, "" says Lay. FACTS of Measles Measles is one of the world's most infectious diseases. The virus is airborne and can be transmitted for up to two hours after a nyst, or coughed. The disease can cause, among other things, pneumonia, high fevers, ear infections and rashes, and can lead to death. The disease is rare in Sweden, because most people are vaccinated. At the end of the 90's, there was an incorrect study of the existence of a relationship between the mässlingsvaccin, and autism. Several large, independent studies have since concluded that the absence of such a relationship.

The current outbreak in Italy, more than three thousand cases from the beginning of the year, harvests his first victim. According to the world health Organization, in 2015, more than 134mila people died because of measles. It is 367 people every day. The dissemination of the vaccine, always explains the Who, has helped to reduce deaths of 79% from 2000 to 2015. Doing the math, it means that at the beginning of the century, measles killed almost 640mila people a year. Most of the inhabitants of the Basilicata region. The fact is that in Italy the roofs are low. And only in very few areas, to reach the quota of 95%. Or the one that triggers the herd effect, the protection even for those who are not vaccinated.

While the United States had eradicated the disease in 2000, New York has identified 285 cases since the fall, of which 228 nothing that Williamsburg (21 of which have led to hospitalizations). And almost all within the ultra-orthodox jewish community. The campaign for months by the city to encourage the vaccination was not enough : 26 new cases were recorded last week in Williamsburg.

""I'm with the Minister of health Spahn talking about it and I'm confident that we can soon submit a proposal,"" said Lauterbach, the RND. FDP for compulsory vaccination against measles pressure in this direction also comes from the liberals: ""The FDP is in favour of a statutory compulsory vaccination for children up to 14 years"", said its Deputy Chairman in the Bundestag, Michael Theurer, the RND. To let ""his kids vaccinated is irresponsible to the Welfare of their own child, and also to people who can't be vaccinated for health reasons,"" said Theurer. ""So life will be in danger."" Federal health Minister Spahn had to educate people about the offensive and access to vaccinations to to facilitate called for the FDP parliamentary group Deputy. So vaccination could be offered in schools and day-care centres, so that they will not forget so often. ""Impfzurückhaltung is problematic,"" said Theurer, therefore, vaccination was to be considered as Ultima Ratio needed. Jens Spahn : ""objectors egoists are"" Jens Spahn ( CDU) had made to his time as health politicians of the CDU/CSU group in the Bundestag already for mandatory measles vaccinations for children.

The reason for the renewed debate of an increased occurrence of measles cases in Bavaria, Baden-Württemberg is now, as also in Schleswig-Holstein and lower Saxony in the past days and weeks. The health authorities warn of a new epidemic. More than 100 students and teachers were excluded in Hildesheim in lower Saxony after a measles outbreak in several schools from teaching because they were able to demonstrate adequate Immunization against the disease. International organisations are warning the world is currently massively ahead of an alarming increase in measles cases: in the World 98 countries had registered in the past year, a stronger appearance of the virus infection than in the previous year, according to a recent report by the UN children's Agency, Unicef. Thus, in the past, progress against this often deadly disease would be undone. Actually, the measles should be eradicated by 2015, and had committed the Federal government in 2011, the world health organization.

So it happened, that 2013. year became infected leetritesse parents Thailand trip came two Estonian preschool children who were not vaccinated. The year before was registered in the disease four times. Before that it was seven cases. Because measles is a very serious contagious disease – its complications include pneumonia, ajupoletik, diarrhea or loss of vision, and it may also be terminated in the death – should be the most to prevent this children disease to protect against. The best protection gives the coachmen confirmed that the still vaccination.

The european target is to eliminate measles and rubella by 2020, More than 21mila cases in 2017, and 35 deaths, as against only about 5 thousand cases in 2016: these are the data, related to Europe, the measles, the incidence of which, in the past year, has increased by 400% compared to the previous year. And Italy – this time unfortunately – it is in the first row, with about 5 thousand cases (a risk highlighted by the United States), second only to Romania, which has had about 5,500. To prepare these data is the world health Organization, to emphasize once again the problem of children and adults not vaccinated can spread the disease especially among those who for particular health conditions may not immunize itself. With the risk of outbreaks. “Over 20 thousand cases of measles and 35 deaths only in 2017, representing a tragedy that we simply cannot accept,” said Zsuzsanna Jakab, director of Who Europe. Here's all the data and goals for the future. The surge of cases concerned about a european country of the four. After Romania and Italy, arrives in the Ukraine, with around 4,700 cases, and then the other countries: Greece (967 cases), Germany (927), Serbia (702), Tajikistan (649), France (520), Russia (408), Belgium (369) United Kingdom (282), Bulgaria (167), Spain (152), Czech Republic (146) Switzerland (105). The reasons for this epidemic are multiple, according to the Who: from the overall decline in the vaccination coverage usual, which concerned in particular the social groups most marginalized, the interruption in the supply of vaccination and the reduction of attention to the surveillance systems of the diseases. It becomes more and more necessary, therefore, continue to experts, to adopt measures to counter the phenomenon: increasing awareness of the issue, encourage vaccination among vulnerable groups and among the health care workers most at risk and increase the possibility of access to the presidio, improving the systems that provide the vaccines. In this direction, was set up in 2012 a system to verify the presence of cases of rubella and measles in Europe, with the goal to completely eliminate these diseases. Each year, the audit Committee independent regional (Rvc) review data of cases of disease and of vaccine coverage. In 2016, the data indicated that in the 42 european states on a 53 – about 80% of the countries – endemic transmission of measles was interrupted. However, even taking into account the surge in 2017, you need to keep your guard up, especially until you are able to reach a level of immunization coverage that will protect every child and adult at risk. In fact, if the vaccination coverage on measles and rubella is growing (increased from 85,3% in the 2015 to 87,3% in 2016, according to data from the Ministry of Health), the goal is to reach 95%, the threshold recommended by Who to achieve the so-called immunity of the flock, a goal set for 2020, and, unfortunately, is still far compared to the percentage present. The Ministry of Health reminds us that even do the vaccinations delayed compared to the calendar of vaccination exposes the child to a greater risk of contracting the diseases to which it is most subject at an early age.

"5521","Pescara. On the morning of 12 October, a dolphin (stenella striata) was found dead on the beach of the North pier of Pescara. After first reporting to the Coast Guard, it is immediately activated as the regional network of the strandings, with the intervention of the volunteers of the Center Studies Cetaceans and the veterinarian of the local health unit competent for the recognition of species and the first readings of biometric. The place is reached immediately also the intervention team strandings of the Experimental Zooprophylactic Institute of Abruzzo and Molise, which has made the post-mortem examination in the field, and surveys designed to determine the causes of death. This is the first case of the stranding of a specimen of the species Stenella's along the coasts of Abruzzo and Molise from 2014. The striped dolphin, so commonly named for the characteristic colour of the livery, with three dark bands that start from the eye and run along the sides, is a typical dolphin-water pelagic deep rare to observe along our coasts, although present in the Adriatic Sea. Among the dolphins is the most acrobatic, able to perform spins backward and jumps high up to seven metres. The sample of female, adult long, 2 metres, beached on the coast of Pescara, probably died in the night, had a good state of preservation (Code 2), and look emaciated. The'IZSAM has carried out sampling on all the organs and all the tissues, and on the same day, laboratory tests. Many organs macroscopically showed the lesions from polyparasitism chronic. Histological examinations have confirmed that the specimen was washed up already dead, and that probably approached the coast just because of the state of health. The specimen is a positive result in the PCR (a molecular test that is performed to detect a portion of the DNA/RNA of a microbial agent) to the Dolphin Morbillivirus (DMV), a virus belonging to the genus Morbillivirus. This virus, a close relative of measles virus of man and of the distemper of the dog, in the past (between ‘90 and ‘92, and between 2006 and 2008) was responsible for two severe outbreaks in populations of the same species of dolphins in the Mediterranean. The first results obtained in the laboratories of virology of the'IZSAM, referring to the phylogenetic analysis carried out on regions of the partial genes the P and H of the DMV identified in the example of a washed up, has shown the presence of a virus whose sequences form a single cluster with similar identified in Galicia and Portugal. At this time, thanks to the innovative techniques of next-generation sequencing (NGS) available in the Institute, you are making the complete sequencing of the genome of this DMV from the matrix to the organ infected. Can not be ruled out at the moment, the presence of other biological agents, or the accumulation in the tissues of the pollutants. The stranding of cetaceans is a widespread phenomenon and known for a long time. The causes are different: those that are environmental to those of human. The prompt analysis and in-depth on the carcass is of fundamental importance, because we obtained data on the biology, ecology, diseases of the species found and the level of contamination, so the state of health of our seas. In the last two years, the regional network has intervened promptly in 100% of reports of stranding. From 2014, along the coasts of Abruzzo and Molise, you are beached 44 cetaceans: 3 striped dolphins, 3 whales and 38 bottlenose dolphins. The intervention team strandings of the IZS Abruzzo and Molise region has carried out the examinations autopsy on all the specimens, thus increasing the data and the bank's organs.",1264,"italy"
"1526","Niels Fisker, from the picture we have now, how big is the risk of maslingeudbruddet in Denmark develops into an epidemic? - It is it already. We usually don't have any infected in Denmark. Now we have the infection in Denmark, and we have not had for a long time. At the moment we have an epidemic. But it will only hit those who for one reason or another are not protected. Therefore, I would also urge that unprotected are vaccinated, and that the parents, who for several years back chose not to vaccinate their children, which has now been young people or adults, to inform them about it so they can take a position. The risk of becoming infected with measles is greater for adults than children. We will see more cases? - It is too early to say how smitteudviklingen will be. It can take up to three weeks from, you will be exposed to infection, to disease breaks forth. Until three weeks have passed since the last case, we can't say how it goes. But the more cases that might come, the less people will listen to those who warn against the vaccine. If people can see a here-and-now benefit, it is usually a little easier to take care together. What is the relevance of the warnings for vaccinationsraten? - It fluctuates depending on how much and what mention there is of the vaccine. The claim that it can provide autism is an old case from the'80s, but nonetheless, it still pulled forward, even if it is emerged that it was skrivebordsfabrikeret and not based on a study. It's up in time, that one must be careful to rely too much on experts. Some have - seen from my point of view - made vaccine ulyksaligheder to their religion or ideology, and they try to convince the whole world that they are right. Some of it can look very professional. What would you say to the parents, who are in doubt as to whether they should vaccinate their children for fear of side effects? - Academically, there is no doubt. The fear is udokumenterbar and disproportionate compared to what one wins with the vaccine. It is sensible to recommend to anyone who is not vaccinated, that be it. It is free. If you have children who are not vaccinated, it is just about getting it done. The risk is still small in Denmark, but if they one day travel around the world, is the relatively large. I would rather not have my children in a hospital in Africa, because they got the measles. Vaccinationsraten in Denmark is about 90 percent. Why is it not enough to protect us? - Measles is a highly contagious virus, because it floats in the air and can hover in the air for a long time. It is one of the most infectious diseases we know. Just you are in the same building as an infected, you run the risk of becoming it. Because of the high infection, the proportion of the population that is susceptible to the disease, be very small before you can prevent the event from spreading. We need to up on a vaccinationsrate of 95 percent in order to achieve what we call herd immunity. It means that so many are vaccinated that the virus will die out rather than spread out, if a person becomes infected. It will also protect the few, where the vaccine has not worked, or those who cannot get the vaccine because of weakened immune systems.",1263,"denmark"

One should not meet up in person with the doctor She stresses that one should not meet up in person with the doctor if you suspect measles. - Measles is one of the most contagious diseases there is and can be contagious, just staying in the same room as an infected person. So, if there is a possibility that you may be infected, should not be meeting up unannounced at the doctor, as you may risk infecting others in the waiting room, she says.

Two deaths were reported in the last bulletin: two people of 38 and 41 years old, both unvaccinated at the time of the infection. In both cases, the cause of death was severe respiratory failure. To these should be added the third death of a few days ago in Catania, a 25-year-old non-vaccinated killed from complications of the virus. Sixteen Regions have reported cases, but over 80% of them occurred in four Regions: Sicily (177), Lazio (108), Calabria (36), and Tuscany (20).

Before the availability of the vaccine anti-measles, virtually every single child was infected by this virus. The measles virus, she has a very contagiousness of the character starts, mind you, a couple of days before the appearance of the typical manifestation of the skin. In other words, the virus is transmitted with high efficiency via respiratory from subjects who have not yet the clear signs of the infection. It is almost impossible to avoid. Not only the direct effects of the measles, The availability of the vaccine by the end of the ’60s (from 1976 in Italy), has led to a drastic reduction in cases of measles. The problem is that, even today measles is endemic in many areas of the planet with more than 7 million cases and more than 100 thousand deaths every year in the world. In a little less than two years the cases of measles have almost tripled due to the decrease of the vaccinated subjects. In Italy, there are 1.596 cases recorded so far in 2019, and in this sad ranking we are “beaten” only by the Romania and France. The risk is that this increase in cases is associated also to an increase in deaths of this virus. But why do people die of measles? There are basically two main causes: the first is the devastating effect direct that the virus can have on certain organs, and in particular on the lungs",1258,"italy"

Increased the deaths due to measles in Europe, 72 in 2018 from 42 in 2017. Measles is a highly contagious viral disease which sometimes can lead to serious complications (hearing loss, brain damage etc.), even fatal. Overall, immunization rates show improvement in Europe, as well as the percentage of children who receive the first dose of the vaccine reached an average of 95%, while the second dose 90%. On the other hand, however, growing pockets of resistance to vaccination, particularly in certain countries, where more and more parents refuse to vaccinate their children, usually for fear of the alleged side effects, despite scientific assurances that vaccines are safe and effective.

Taking into account the population, the Ukraine also had the highest proportion of cases of measles with 1.209 incidents per one million inhabitants, an increase of ten times compared to 2017. The rise is attributed mainly to the fact that in the last few years, because of the conflict with Russia, it decreased dramatically to only 31% in the rate of vaccination, one of the lowest in the world, although more recently it recovered again to around 90%. The WHO hopes that the increase of cases in Europe will prove to be transient, although the current vaccination coverage does not seem high enough, in order to prevent the circulation of the virus in several countries.

"5528","The measles virus produces in infected subjects, a sort of amnesia immune: the body ""forgets"" the pathogens it has already encountered, and because it does not recognize them, the more is exposed to bacterial and viral infections. This was revealed in a study on blood samples from 77 children not vaccinated affected by the virus in the Netherlands.The analysis, published in “Science” by Michael Mina and Stephen Elledge of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute in Boston, shows that the measles eliminated from the body of the small, a great part of the antibodies, the proteins that keep the memory of the pathogens encountered in the past and are therefore fundamental in order to recognize them when they arise again.The study confirms the results of previous research published in 2015, always from the group of Mina, where it was found that measles was able to suppress the immune system of the infected organism for two or three years. This is consistent with epidemiological data detected in the past decades: individuals who are vaccinated against the measles show, in the long term, an extended immunity to other infections. The data suggests an effect of the broad-spectrum on the immune system, but the assumption so far has not been confirmed, and has been very controversial among immunologists, and infectious disease.Elledge and colleagues were perfecting a test called VirusScan, able to identify, from a single drop of blood, all the antibodies in a circle, noting as well with which virus – from HIV to influenza, up until the herpes – is to come in contact with a subject.In the course of the analysis, the researchers analyzed blood samples of children not vaccinated belonging to a community of protestant orthodox of the Netherlands, struck by an epidemic of measles in 2013. The authors were able to analyze the immune system before and after infection.The test has detected, as expected the presence of antibodies against the measles. But the other antibodies appeared to have disappeared: the children had lost between 11 and 73 percent of their kit immunologic, depending on the severity of the infection. The result was confirmed, with data still more obvious, by a similar experiment on macaques.""The virus is much more malicious than we thought: we now know that infection is a risk in the long term for those affected,"" he concluded Elledge. “This puts even more emphasis on the importance of vaccination on a large scale”.

This is the conclusion of two new studies, published on Thursday, writes the news agency Reuters. Researchers examined Dutch children who were not vaccinated against measles. The two studies are the first to demonstrate that the measles - one of the world's most infectious diseases - resets the human immune system. Measles, empowering the immune system back to a not yet developed level, corresponding to an infant's, the researchers conclude. Thus has the immune system only a limited ability to fight infections. More vulnerable to other diseases the Studies, explains, why many children are often more vulnerable to other diseases, after they have had measles. - This demonstrates a human version of ""immunforsvarets memory loss,"" says Velislava Petrova.

Éilis Ryan will be tabling a motion at September’s meeting of Dublin City Council, calling for a series of local measures to curtail recent and increasing outbreaks of infectious diseases.  The move comes following a further outbreak of measles in Dublin’s North Inner City, the area which Cllr. Ryan represents.  Speaking on the issue, Cllr. Ryan said:  “This is just the latest in a series of outbreaks of diseases which are entirely preventable. Measles is highly contagious, and even moreso in a dense urban area like Dublin. It is right and proper that the city’s local authority take emergency action to address the constant cycle of misinformation about vaccinations.  “The HSE have said that those who contracted the disease in the inner city were from households which had not received vaccinations. This is proof that vaccines work. But there are many – young babies and those with medical conditions in particular – who can’t be vaccinated. They are put at risk by others’ selfishly refusing to vaccinate themselves or their children.”  Cllr. Ryan continued:  “I am putting this motion before the council for a number of reasons. Firstly, the local authority is ideally placed to carry out a proper public education and information campaign at a grassroots level, in people’s homes and communities.  “But secondly, I want my fellow councillors to take a public stance in favour of vaccinations, and show leadership to anybody who may be unsure about whether or not to vaccinate their children.”  The Cllr. concluded:  “Ireland already has a highly effective public vaccination service. We would like to see some improvements, including ensuring the first dosage of pre-school age vaccinations is given by a public health nurse in the home.  “But fundamentally, if we want to improve vaccination rates in this country, we need to ensure all children sharing school, childcare or leisure facilities with other children, are vaccinated, and cannot endanger other children – as is already the case in France, Australia and many other places.”",1229,"ireland"

The debate about whether we should vaccinate our children or not, rages on after the Liberal Alliance borneordforer, Laura Lindahl, has stated that she is of the opinion that non-vaccinated kids should be excluded from public day-care centres. The vast majority of parents allow their children to follow the Danish vaccination programme, but an ever-growing group fail to vaccinate their children. Some because they are nervous about the side effects of the vaccines, and others because they simply are skeptical when it comes to the effect of the vaccines. From several pages reads it also, that the diseases vaccinated against - for example, measles is not a serious disease in today's Denmark. Symptoms of measles - the Temperature of about 39 degrees. - Coryza. - Cough, which may sound like a sea lion. - Red eyes. - Light sensitivity. - There may also be great sore, swollen lymph nodes in the neck and sore throat. - There may prove to be greyish spots on the oral mucosa out of undermundens molars. It is the so-called coptic spots which can be seen at this time before the rash shows up. - After three-four days the rash, which starts as very small spots - typically around the ears. In the course of a few days spread the spots out over the rest of the body. - The disease usually lasts about a week. Source: Netdoktor.

In rare cases it can cause encephalitis and in the - fortunately - very few cases, you can die of the consequences, he says. He would like to see more parents let their children be vaccinated in order to achieve herd immunity in Denmark, so all those who are either too small to be vaccinated, or for one reason or another can not tolerate the vaccination, are protected against the diseases. The outbreak in Germany claimed the lives of two children life Many vaccineskeptikere points out that in Denmark we have a health care system that is geared to cope with diseases such as measles. - It is a truth with modifications, says Allan Randrup Thomsen and continues: - recently, we saw an outbreak of measles in Germany, which has approximately the same coverage as we have.

The Asp of Palermo, the report indicates that in 2018, the vaccination coverage in the capital from measles is greater than 90%. In 2017 have been a total of 480 thousand vaccinations carried out by the Asp of Palermo: the rise of compulsory vaccinations is the state of 33,80%, but even more significant has been the increase of vaccinations for measles, rubella, mumps and chicken pox: from 26.622 vaccination of 2016 has been passed to 43.432 2017( 63,10%), while the increase in “calls for” diphtheria, tetanus, polio and whooping cough was 40,10% (from 26.154 2016 to 36.639 of 2017).

For Federico Martinón, chief of Service of Pediatrics of the University Clinical Hospital of Santiago and coordinator of the Collaborating Centre of the World Health Organization (WHO) Safety Vaccine of Santiago, the global situation in relation to measles and the resurgence of this serious disease is ""definitely alarming"", especially, she says, because it is due to a reason totally ""absurd"", as is stop vaccinating, because ""there is a very good vaccine"". Vacuan measles: not just ""antivacunas"" In full European Week of Immunization, the pediatric intensivist and science popularizer Alberto García Salido warned about the possible need of measles vaccination for those born after 1970. Warned to those who had not passed the disease, and did not know if they were vaccinated. ""This does not happen just by being antivacunas"", warned. Asked by LIGHTHOUSE on the grounds of this alert, Federico Martinón explains that in Spain, the measles immunization was started in the 70s, in a systematic way, starting in 1978. ""Until then, it is assumed that the whole world was in contact with the disease and therefore, if you overcame the disease, acquired immune protection -highlights-. However, then we learned that was not enough a single dose of measles-containing vaccine, since some people do not respond adequately with a single dose, with that in the 80's we began to vaccinate with two doses, including definitely on the calendar systematic national vaccination with two doses against measles in 1995."" Between the years 1970 and 2000 coincided with many changes: it begins to decrease the exposure a natural in front of the measles thanks to vaccination on the one hand, and on the other there are people who are not vaccinated or only received a different dose depending on which autonomous community belonging. ""It is for this reason that in this generation born between 1970 and 2000 can be people who are not 100% protected from measles, or well-being but don't know because don't remember if they suffered the illness or if they are partially or fully immunized,"" says the scientist gallego. New York declares ""public health emergency"" to the epidemic of the measles / Agency/ ATLAS If we belong to that generation, how do you know for certain if we are immunized? It is very possible to not remember if we have passed the disease, or that confused with the chicken pox. And it is not unusual to retain immunization records after almost 50 years... The clinical researcher of the CHUS says that you can determine if the person is protected or not by a blood test, a serology, but in general it is not worth to perform such a test. ""It is easier to vaccinate without more, completing with the dose of the vaccine that lacked if that is the case, or getting the standard full-if you do not know, that is to say, with two separate doses at least a month,"" says Martinón. ""If the person was already protected, the vaccine will not harm, on the contrary, it will strengthen their defenses. And if it wasn't, after getting vaccinated, yes that will be protected, something important for what's going to happen,"" he says. And what can happen? Federico Martinón coincides with the minister of Health, María Luisa Carcedo, that in Spain the situation is good in comparison with other countries of the continent, because here the index of confidence in vaccines is high (96,1%), and ""the transmission of the disease is interrupted, occur only imported cases or small outbreaks are self-limiting from these imported cases"". A total of 35 europeans lost their lives the past year for measles complications, in addition to the 34 of 2017, according to data from the European Centre for Disease Control (ECDC). Greece, Slovakia, Romania and France -where the 31% of the population believe that vaccination is not safe - were the most affected countries. Cases have tripled in Europe from 2016, according to WHO data. The head of the department of Preventive Medicine and Epidemiology of the Hospital Clínic of Barcelona, Antoni Trilla, said last Tuesday that this return of the measles, ""is an outrage, a disaster. Especially because we have an excellent vaccine, with a protection of 97 percent and that is very safe.

That girl, the daughter of parents one night a group of no-vax, was sick with the measles: the hospital has only discovered on the 30th of October, three days after it is sent home. This is the case-the index from which it is born the chain of infection of Bari. The chain that cannot be broken, and that it involved three families. All related. All, obviously, anti-vaccines. As the days go by, the situation appears to be more clear. And confirmation that in the surveillance mechanism, something might not have worked. ""There has been a delay in the diagnosis"", recognizes Matilda Carlucci, medical director of the Polyclinic in the past has taken the reins of the Children. ""The diagnosis of mononucleosis? Yes, in fact it did. But measles is difficult to recognize until they appear on the rash, and the symptoms can be similar"". It remains however to understand why the director of the presidium, dr. Maria Justine D'amelio, has informed the Department of prevention of Asl, only the 6 November (the law required it to do so within 12 hours from the confirmation). Because in the meantime you were sick even the little brother of 11 years of case-index and a cousin of two years, hospitalized on the 1st of November), and was infected with a baby of 11 months who was in the department for otitis.

The laboratory of Epidemiology, directed by dr. Maria Chironna yesterday also confirmed the diagnosis of the last case (the mother), while for the woman 37 the epidemiological survey should have excluded the correlation with the Pediatric. Even here, however, should be in-depth some of the aspects, because an infection may be occurred in the emergency room of the hospital. The epidemiological investigation will go forward together and to the post-exposure that concerned - among other things - the schools attended by some of the children. But not those of the case-index and his brother, because the Department of prevention has been informed, when the time of incubation of the disease (10 days) had already passed: the vaccine can be effective in post-exposure only if administered within 72 hours. Parents have reported to the doctors of the Asl that the children were missing from school for more than two weeks before symptoms: the Department is still continuing the testing on the vaccine coverage of all the companions. The 16-year-old was absent from the benches by lot, while the other two are too small and do not attend schools.

The United States are in the top ranking of the high-income Countries with the greatest number of children who have not received the first dose of the vaccine between 2010 and 2017 are 2.5 million. From the beginning of the year in the U.s. outbreaks were 681, a record number since the disease was declared eliminated in 2000. Followed by France and United Kingdom, respectively with 600 thousand and 500 thousand children have not been vaccinated. Italy is in fifth place, with 435mila. On average, according to the Un agency for children, and more than 21 million children each year do not receive the first dose of the vaccine: in total we talk about 169 million lower from 2010 to 2017. Simon Stevens, the head of the National Health Service (the british health system), said that the number of cases in the Uk have almost quadrupled in a year and has made an appeal for all you vaccinino. The anti-vaccinisti, he added, represent a growing threat to public health, a sort of ""time bomb"". Roofing on the rise In many european Countries, the vaccination coverage are increasing, but there is still much to do. As underlined by the World Health Organization (Who) and the Center of disease Control (Ecdc). ""The vaccines have transformed our company - explain Zsuzsanna Jakab, director of Who, and Andrea Ammon, head of Ecdc -. Have increased the chance for each infant to reach adulthood, and for every adult vaccinated to maintain a good health. At the same time, we cannot ignore the children and the adults aren't yet protected. Infectious diseases do not respect national borders, and even the efforts to combat them must do it"". Among the major threats is the measles, that in 2018, has caused 80 thousand cases of infection and 70 deaths in the Who european region are the highest figures since the beginning of the decade, 3 times those of the 2017 and 15 times those of 2016. Boom of cases across the world the case of measles is emblematic: it demonstrates that, by lowering the guard on vaccines, diseases that seemed to be eradicated can return. The situation is under observation, also in Italy, where in 2018 have been reported 2.526 cases and 8 deaths (including a child of 10 months). Better, however, in 2017, when the cases were 5.300. 80% of cases of 2018, it is concentrated in Sicily, Campania, Lazio, Calabria and Lombardy, and the average age was 25 years. A fifth (488) concerned children less than 5 years, of which 161 are under one year of life. Many serious complications: 252 cases of hepatitis, 252 pneumonia, 190 of laryngo-tracheobronchite and 179 of respiratory failure. 58% of the sick was in the hospital. The virus, she stressed that the Who is being hit all over the world, as evidenced by cases on the rise, from New York to Africa. In the world, from the beginning of the year, were reported over 112mila cases, against the 28mila in the previous quarter. All Who regions have had an increase in: the african 700% in the u.s.-60%, european or 300%, and the South-East asia and the western Pacific is 40%. The most affected Country in absolute terms in 2018, was the Ukraine (with more than 53mila outbreaks), followed by Madagascar, India, Pakistan and the Philippines. Vaccine safe and effective, However, to protect yourself from the measles is not difficult: you just get vaccinated. The Food and drug administration (Fda), U.s. agency that regulates medicines, has insisted recently that the trivalent vaccine against measles, mumps and rubella is safe and effective and that the alleged link with the development of autism is completely false. In the world 20 million people get measles each year, and in 2017 approximately 110 thousand died, mostly children, with a 22% increase compared to 2016. It is absolutely urgent, stresses the Fda, and monitor these diseases and increase awareness about the importance of vaccination, timely diagnosis, especially when there are epidemics among unvaccinated persons. Measles can be dangerous especially for babies and small children: 1-2 children in every thousand who get sick die, one person out of 4 has to be hospitalized. The vaccine, says the Fda, ""it is very effective and protects you from complications: a finding based on 50 years of experience. It has no known side effects, which are, however, mild and of short duration, such as fever and skin rashes. If the parents are worried of the consequences of the vaccine, they should talk with the doctor, to assess the risks of choosing not to vaccinate"". The situation in Italy, The Istituto Superiore di Sanita (Iss), remember that vaccinations will prevent every year up to 3 million deaths (7 per day) and protect from serious diseases. In Italy from 2013 to 2016 has been registered a decrease of hedges, which has led to the law on the obligation signed by the former minister of Health Beatrice Lorenzin. With regard to measles, the national coverage in children born in 2015 for the first dose has reached 91,8% in 2017, and 94,2% in the first six months of 2018 (as compared to 87.3% in 2016). The coverage for the second dose (at 5-6 years of age), in the cohort of children born in 2010, was of 85,7% in 2017 and of 90,1% in 2018. ""Italy remains one of the ten Countries where measles is still endemic because of poor vaccination coverage in the course of the years, which have led to the accumulation of a large share of the population susceptible to infection - conclude the experts of Iss -. To stop the transmission of measles, in addition to increasing the vaccination coverage among young children, it is necessary to implement strategies and activities additional vaccination targeted at the age groups of susceptible young adults born since the end of the '70s"". The fundamental and the second dose Two doses of the vaccine are essential to protect the infants from illness. The worldwide coverage of the first dose in 2017 was 85%, and this figure remained relatively constant in the last decade, despite population growth. The coverage for the second dose is much lower: 67%. The Who recommends a threshold of 95% to reach the so-called ""immunity of the flock"". If in high-income Countries the situation is not rosy, it should be much worse in low-and middle-income. In 2017, the Nigeria had the highest number of children under one year are not protected with the first dose of vaccine (approximately 4 million), followed by India with 2.9 million and Pakistan and Indonesia with 1.2 million each, and Ethiopia with 1.1 million. The levels of global coverage for the second dose are even more alarming: of the 20 Countries with the largest number of children not vaccinated in 2017, as many as 9 are not provided for the booster dose. The growth in the number of children not vaccinated has opened the way for outbreaks that today are striking different Countries.",1187,"italy"

Vaccination is the main preventive measure against the disease, and it's free, and it's called VASPR, and also protects against mumps and rubella. The first dose is given at 12 months of age and the second between five and six years old. Currently, the vaccination coverage for the first dose, it is about 98%, and for the second one, which varies between 96% and 98%. In 2016, the measles had been declared eliminated from the Uk by the World Health Organization, but the Country was at risk due to outbreaks in some countries in the european community are not vaccinated, and the increase in the free movement of persons. In 2018, 93% of the cases detected were associated with cases imported from other countries. A large number of health workers have contracted the infection in spite of vaccination, but this was due to the fact that they are in contact with patients with measles over a long period of time. There are communities that do not receive the vaccine, because it is necessary to de-mystify some of the myths about the vaccine. In our report on the National Programme of Immunization explain it all. Opt for the vaccination is an individual decision weighing on the company. Vaccinating the majority of the population and creates immunity for the group: if you have an infection, it is more difficult to pass it on. This makes it possible to eliminate or at least control of the disease. When a few of us are immune (vaccination), infectious diseases spread easily through the population.",1173,"portugal"

Once you ‘made’ by children: you ‘took’ to the school or the asylum, he was locked in the house full of red dots and a fever, and after a fortnight it was all over. Now, ‘becca’ by the great and becomes more annoying and dangerous. Many adults, adolescents, and young people are in fact sick or even hospitalized from complications of the disease typical of children: acute bronchopneumonia, encephalitis, and elevated alt levels high consequences and more frequent. All of this is depended on the decrease of the vaccination: normally, if you vaccinate 95% of the child population, these outbreaks do not happen. Currently, however, in Versilia is vaccinated approximately 85% of the people: this does not cover the risk that measles will spread like wildfire. That is what happens in these weeks: dr.

"2011","Addressing the vaccine, ""in the name of natural medicine"" a few adventurers to play with the health of a part of humanity. The irony is that by attacking the vaccines under the guise that it will enrich the pharmaceutical companies and the doctors, such a merchant of fear make themselves a lot of money by selling their books, their video and their conferences around the world . It is necessary, therefore, believe that a part of the world has gone mad. Louis Pasteur and Alexander Fleming must be turning in their graves because on the internet, organized gangs (or not) are parties to war against their great scientific discoveries in the field of bacteriology, vaccines, and even antibiotics... These anti-vaccine fill in the canvas of arguments and studies pseudo-scientists to advise men and women to give in to the vaccination. ""A practical bourgeois, imposed by the single thought and the pressure of the big pharmaceutical companies, in the pay of great interest capitalist world "". Anything ! Except that it works. In this climate of fear and disorder that overtook the western countries since the beginning of the crisis, ""the real people"" no longer believe in anything or anyone.The political elites, the captains of industry, journalists and now the doctors are overwhelmed by the sorcerers... Pasteur, Fleming or Pierre and Marie Curie who, through their work have changed the world, now have less of a success than the complotistes, preachers, magicians and radicals who denigrate their discoveries so that these discoveries have benefited for over a century like never before in the History to the health of humans. It is true that the business of the vaccine is huge. Global sales are expected to reach $ 80 billion by 2025, and four large companies dominate the market :Sanofi, number two behind the american Mercks (19 % market share) and in front of GSK (16 %) or Pfizer (13 %) . A market which is fairly locked simply because the production process is complex. It requires huge investment of time or develops a vaccine and the time when it delivers the first batch . Sanofi has put twenty years and has spent 1.5 billion euros for developing its vaccine against dengue fever. In view of the urgency, governments, WHO, NGOS, scientists and the labs are stepping up their efforts to aid and funding . The foundation of Bill Gates, for example, agrees with the efforts that are superior to those of governments, including polio, smallpox, and measles. This exponential growth is mainly due to the demand for vaccines in developing countries. Private foundations, for example, And to lower the costs, the laboratories are looking for the combination vaccines that provide immunity against many diseases in a single injection. But the bulk of the effort focuses on vaccines against infectious diseases until then without remedy. Sanofi has just put on the market the first vaccine against dengue fever. Merckx has virtually developed a vaccine against Ebola . The anti-vaccines are totally indifferent to the results generated by the immunization in the emerging countries. They are doing everything they can to slow it down. So the health of humanity is at risk. The World Health Organization has just launched a signal of alarm on the issue of the measles. The measles cases have increased 300 % in the first quarter of this year compared to last year, 700 % on the african continent alone. WHO recalls that, then, this epidemic disease that had almost disappeared with the widespread use of the vaccine 50 years ago, has made 700 victims in the United States since the year 2000. In France, there would have been 23 deaths attributed to measles in the last ten years. The WHO has therefore decreed as every year, that this week would be the week world immunization because the fight against major epidemics and imposes that the maximum amount of men and women and especially of children are vaccinated. According to ""real"" scientists (those of Pastor),it is necessary that 95% of the population is vaccinated against measles in order for the virus to be blocked. However, today, we are at the global level only 85% of the population. Therefore, the disease returned to the field. Not only is the situation is fragile in the emerging countries (question means), but what is much more worrying is that the situation is deteriorating in the paysdéveloppés, where we had eradicated this type of risk by vaccination almost mandatory. For reasons difficult to understand, a growing portion of the population forgets or refuses vaccination on the basis of reasoning that is unfortunately completely wrong. While in Germany or in Sweden, the vaccination rate reached 97% of the population, in France, it would be according to the OECD, fell below 80%. It is catastrophic enough, but there are in France and according to the doctors, the activists of the anti-vaccination, which, for reasons idéologiquesou may be religious for some, explain that the vaccination is anti-natural and dangerous. Of course without offering the slightest scientific proof of what they are saying. They surf on the fear, everything is good to explain their refusal,they highlight the power of the lobbies, the pharmaceutical and doctors –whose sole purpose would be to cash in on the health of the greatest number. The kicker is that these anti-vaccines make them a lot of money with their preaching. Hyper present on the social networks and especially Facebook, They increased the number of books and video, and do a lot of conferences that attract an audience fragile and worried in the whole of France. Then, these activists do not present themselves as ""anti-vaccine"" but more malignant, they present themselves as supporters of freedom of choice on vaccination, because of the risk involved, they say. To illustrate their speech, they show pictures of children or babies contaminated with aluminum, which would be contained in the vaccine. Jacques Bessin, for example, has created a civic association to health, and it promotes ""alternative medicines"" and he explains to anyone who will listen, that her two children were 16 and 19 years old have never been vaccinated and are going less to the doctor than other children of their age. For him and his friends, the human body produces its own immunity. Especially against measles. In front of what can only be called a disinformation campaign, but also to the resurgence of cases of communicable diseases, the minister of Health, Agnes Buzyn, had restored the mandatory nature of the vaccinations, including the measles and the mumps, (with penalties to the key, such as the prohibition to go in a crib if the child is not vaccinated). This decision has not changed the attitude of the anti-vaccine, who cry to violations of the freedom of the individual to dispose of his body, except that the disease is contagious and they are therefore in danger the lives of others. Germany has also made it mandatory vaccination, with fines in case of non-respect of this obligation. That is terrible in this kind of case, it is only part of the population into doubting the progress of the science. In all the areas. In economic science and policy, one can understand it sometimes, but in the medical disciplines, it is more strange and more troubling.Because if there's one area where science has made the greatest contribution to the benefits of humanity,it is the health. Certainly there had been excesses, accidents, experiments, risky and scandals, but the progress is so obvious.",1159,"france"

Health bosses have warned the highly infectious bug could spread quickly in unvaccinated children - amid fears of an epidemic, after record cases of the disease across Europe.  2 Do you live in Westminster, Kensington & Chelsea, or Hammersmith & Fulham? If so, be on the alert  Public Health England (PHE) sent a letter last week to headteachers from Westminster, Kensington & Chelsea, and Hammersmith & Fulham, warning them of the outbreak in west London.  The letter warns that the affected schools are Fulham Boys School, Chelsea Academy and St Marylebone Church of England School.  PHE consultant, Dr Janet Lo, wrote to heads across the affected boroughs rather than individual schools, urging them to ""stay vigilant for any new cases reported to your schools"".  ""We strongly encourage you to ensure your staff and parents are aware of the importance of measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine, and encourage them and the children to be vaccinated,"" the letter continued.  Dr Lo also warned that because children at the worst schools may have siblings at other schools and nurseries, the virus could be spreading.    Airborne bug  Measles is a highly contagious viral illness, that can prove life-threatening.  It's airborne, spread through the tiny droplets exhaled from the nose and mouth when an infected person coughs or sneezes.  You can catch the bug by breathing in these droplets, but also by touching a surface infected droplets have settled on.  People with measles are infectious from when their symptoms develop until about four days after the rash first appears.  Because of the spread of the disease across Europe, it's likely that people are unwittingly bringing the virus into the UK.  With school children playing together or being in classrooms all day, it's incredibly easy for airborne bugs to spread - if kids haven't had the MMR jab.  Last week, PHE confirmed that measles cases were on the rise, following an increase in kids diagnosed with the infectious disease in Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire.  In the first quarter of 2019, there were 231 confirmed cases of measles.  Anyone who has not received two doses of the MMR vaccine is at risk, particularly unvaccinated people travelling to countries where there are currently large outbreaks of measles.  Anti-vaxxers to blame  The terrifying warning comes amid growing fears over the rise of previously extinct infectious diseases which are once again on the rise.  It's believed that anti-vaxxers and suspicion over the safety of jabs online are partly to blame for parents not having their kids immunised.  PHE warned that only 87.4 per cent of kids aged 5 had received the second dose of the MMR vaccine.  After two doses of the jab, you're 99 per cent protected against developing the disease.  To achieve herd immunity for measles, at least 90 to 95% of the population need to be fully protected.  Last week health secretary Matt Hancock warned that compulsory MMR vaccines should be brought into combat anti-vaxxer views among parents.  Calls to ban unvaccinated kids from school  He suggested that schools ban unvaccinated kids - forcing parents to get the jabs for their kids by the age of 5.  But nurses condemned the move, warning that forcing parents to vaccinate would only make them more suspicious of the jabs.  The Health Secretary made the suggestions after Unicef revealed more than half a million UK children missed the first dose of the MMR jab between 2010 and 2017.  UK has fifth highest rate of cases  According to data from the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control there have been 860 confirmed cases of measles in the United Kingdom between April last year and March this year - which makes the UK the fifth highest in Europe behind Italy, France, Romania and Greece.  The UN warned back in April that the number of measles cases shot up a terrifying 300 per cent worldwide in the first three months of 2019.  Only around one in ten cases of measles are actually reported so it could mean that the true numbers of people suffering the disease is far higher.  Cases are up 50% in the last year  So far, 170 countries have reported 112,163 measles cases to the WHO.  This time last year, 163 countries had reported 28,124 cases.  The main issue is that the anti-vaxx movement is gaining more support, out of fear that the jab causes autism.  The World Health Organisation has said that measles cases have jumped up by 50 per cent in the last year.  It's a highly infectious viral illness that can sometimes lead to very serious complications.  It can cause things like pneumonia and encephalitis - both of which can kill or leave people seriously disabled for the rest of their lives.  2 Letters have been sent out to heads in three affected London boroughs warning them of the measles epidemic Credit: Public Health England  Symptoms of measles Measles is a highly infectious viral illness that can be very unpleasant and sometimes lead to serious complications. It can be prevented by having the MMR vaccine - which is not linked to autism or any other condition. Anyone can get measles if they haven't been vaccinated or haven't had it before, although it's most common in young children. Symptoms can feel a bit like flu or a really bad hangover, but it's absolutely crucial that you recognise them early on and get treated. Measles can lead to fatal conditions like pneumonia and encephalitis. Signs to watch out for include: cold-like symptoms, such as a runny nose, sneezing and a cough  sore, red eyes that may be sensitive to light  a high temperature (fever), which may reach around 40C (104F)  small greyish-white spots on the inside of the cheeks  a red-brown blotchy rash that starts on the head or upper neck and spreads downwards The rash isn't always present so don't wait until it develops.

"5550","- In Europe, the return in force of the measles is dangerous, with almost 90 thousand cases registered from the beginning of 2019, more than double compared to the previous year, and 37 deaths. To launch a new alert on the emergency measles in the Old Continent is the world health Organization ( Who ), in its latest report that it passes to the sieve, the epidemiological situation in 48 european Countries and asks governments to ""intensify vaccination campaigns"".In the rest of the world, as is already apparent from the previous report, the number of cases has increased 300% in the first half of 2019, around 364808. With precision the Who report 89994 cases reported in 48 Countries in europe, more than double compared to the same period in 2018, when they were 44175, and already higher than all of those, 2018, in 84462. It also stresses the Who, the disease has reappeared in four Countries - the United Kingdom, Greece, Czech Republic and Albania - which had been declared ""eliminated"". For the agency, based in Geneva, to obtain the status of ""deleting"" in a given region, there must be an absence of continuous transmission for at least 12 months. It is not gone so in the United Kingdom (953 cases in 2018 and 489 from the beginning of the year), while in Greece they were 2193 last year and 28 this, in Albania in 2019, we are at the altitude of 475 and in the Czech Republic at 569. Numbers to the hand, in Europe 60% of the victims - 37 from the beginning of the year and 74 in 2018 - less than 19 years.From the beginning of the year 78% of cases was detected in four outbreaks of infection: Kazakhstan, Georgia, Russia and Ukraine, which alone records the 60%. Measles is endemic in 12 european Countries, including Italy, France, and Germany, where vaccination will become mandatory by march 2020. Austria and Switzerland have, however, had access to the status of ""deleting"" after demonstrating the interruption of transmission for at least 36 months, becoming part of the group of 35 Countries declared free of measles.""The recovery of the contagion of measles is a serious problem. If we fail to establish and maintain an immunization coverage is high, in every community, adults will get to know the unnecessary suffering, and some will face a tragic death,"" he warned, president of the regional Commission, to verify the eradication of measles and rubella. ""And yet it is successful in Countries with vaccination coverage of the national extremely high. This should be a little bell of alarm for the whole world. It is not enough, we want high coverage in every community, in every family,"" he insisted, director of the department of vaccination of the Who.According to Who, in fact, in the world's less than one case in 10 is reported, and the epidemic is much more extended compared to the official statistics, every year the victims of the measles would be around 6.7 million. Once the contract there is no cure for measles, but it can be prevented with two doses of the vaccine. Thanks to vaccination between 2000 and 2016, about 20 million deaths in the world have been avoided. The return in force of the disease by 2016 has been attributed to the bad access to care in remote parts of the world and the growing mistrust in vaccines, starting with the western Countries.",1149,"italy"
"2017","A resurgence of cases has occurred in the first half of may. According to public Health France, it was at 88% of non-vaccinated or who had not received the two doses are protective. The measles virus is still circulating actively in France. Since 1 January 2019, 1184 cases of measles have been recorded, according to a point of situation by public Health, France on may 22. Among these cases, a third party has given rise to a hospital stay (of which 16 patients in intensive care), 94 have led to pneumonia and two to encephalitis, which has led to the death of the patient. Last year, in the same period, 2306 cases had been identified. According to the health Agency, the circulation of measles virus has intensified during the first half of may, with more than 100 reported cases per week, compared to 70 cases on average during the 8 weeks previous. A phenomenon in part due to the focus of the event, which is declared in the Pyrenees Atlantiques as a result fair to the ham in Bayonne which took place in late April. Thus, since the beginning of the month of may, 55 suspected cases of measles have been reported in this region. 88% were non-or improperly vaccinated in Addition to the Pyrénées Atlantiques, the health Agency has identified two other outbreaks assets. One is located in Mayotte, where 24 cases have been reported, especially in young children. The second is The Meeting, where 50 cases have been reported since December 2018. It is, for the half of children age 12 and under. And among the latest confirmed cases, three are likely to be contaminated in the environment of care, concern to the health care Agency a nosocomial transmission. Among all cases identified, 831 involved patients of more than one year and born since 1980, for which vaccination status was known. The majority of them (88%) was non-or improperly vaccinated, according to public Health France. It is said that a person who has been poorly vaccinated if they have not received two doses of the vaccine, a necessary condition to be properly immunized against the virus. An interval of a minimum of a month should be respected between the 1st and the second dose. Who should get vaccinated? Vaccination against measles is mandatory only for children one year of age born on or after January 1, 2018. Adults born since 1980 who have not had measles should verify that they have received 2 injections, and if this is not the case, they should be vaccinated. Contrary to popular belief, measles is not touching it as children. Serious complications are more common in young adults. On the other hand, except for health-care professionals or early childhood who have not had measles or been vaccinated, vaccination is not recommended for people born before 1980. In fact, the health authorities consider that, given the high circulation of the virus at this time, it is very likely that these generations have been exposed to and thus immunized.

"7665","Sometimes I try to catch up on the news through the eyes of a non-vaccinerende parents. Two weeks ago, there was a scare four mazelengevallen in The Hague! But measles is not ebola, calling them her parents. It is, in the vast majority of cases it is a harmless childhood illness. A few more days, a fever, and off you go again. Why is it that people are out there in the world, so hoity-toity about it? They have to be somewhere the same. For measles, it is, indeed, no matter what, if you get it from an individual household or a child to consider. Complications are relatively rare. Vaccinated people are at low risk of being infected, it is only a select few for whom the vaccine doesn't work. Babies are just prone to that critical stage where they have no protection anymore from the placenta, but has not yet been vaccinated. All of these are not impregnable reasons to be angry at them, or get them out of the nursery, such as the kinderopvangorganisatie Berend Botje this week, and decided. But in the measles it is a numbers game. Questioning the parents really do need to get out of their bubble and take to the flock of the above, we see that, in order to see it. Slowly, but surely, running the vaccination back, step-by-step process. The ""island"", and the burning of the ongevaccineerden, grow, and create bridges between those islands. And then, when it comes to a one-year or three-we are hundreds of infections, and then wait for you to see why we have been, collectively, measles, mumps, and wanted to banish. Then all of a sudden, there are a lot of children in the intensive-care unit, you know, with the bleeps and tubes and a set of lijkbleke parents in their bed and watching over them. No, you have a couple of mazelengevallen in The netherlands, why do we get so angry at the non-vaccinerende parents. It is their cause. See, all those who refused what we've got used to, accepted the position of science, perhaps, but it did not share the ideology that you make the decision of who does or does not become ill from the hand of God in easy-to-use. In addition, it was a relatively isolated group, with a small chance of that, as our toddlers became infected. They seemed to be from Mars to come up with their own ideas. A new group of non-vaccineerders seems to be, as we fear, its the decision is mainly based on a combination of self-interest and lack of knowledge. The e-mails I get from questioning the parents are, almost without exception, is full of troubles, just anything based on it. The lack of knowledge. It goes hand in hand with a curious sort of powers that you see so much at a new high. But for some of them, no one really knows how many there were, there is just plain-out selfish with it. I heard recently a story about a non-vaccinerende parents, who are in a sabbatical year abroad is being considered, but that in countries with low coverage and wanted to avoid out of fear of meningitis, or whooping cough. Then, do you accept, therefore, that the vaccinations, and the diseases they protect to be dangerous, and that you would like and are aware of the use of herd-immunity, but refuses to accept it for himself to wear. This is a good reason for people with a head and a tail from you in the nursery, to want to throw at them. A question, to which each doubting a parent is required to answer is: what would you do if you were in charge of the health? What would you like to know, if the world is not only to help you and your child, instead of running all over the country, or the world at large? How do you expect others to behave? The hope is to have a high or low vaccination rates? Do you really think, in the so-called ‘vaccination damage"", and that all of the other children in the Netherlands are not exposed to it? Hope you're right that a lot of parents to have their children vaccinated for disease and death prevention? If you want to have a low vaccination rate, and you will hear, perhaps, from the oldest category of weigeraars. Then, do you think there really is something very, very different. Martians, not a country to be sailed. In this case, the gun I have the freedom to have your own bullshit to believe it. However, if you have a high vaccination rate, promote, and yet your children don't want to vaccinate, then you have what is called a 'free-loader'. Someone who is happy under someone else's umbrella is walking. And the answer is yes, then there may still be reason to make some effort to go and take action.

"8143","Measles cases have soared around the world because in the last eight years an annual average of more than 20 million children have not received the vaccine relevant, is given in two doses, which makes it difficult to achieve the so-called ""immunity"" collective for this viral disease. The Fund United Nations Children's fund (UNICEF) said Thursday, in the framework of the Global Week of Vaccination, that between 2010 and 2017 approximately 169 million children did not receive the first dose of the measles vaccine, which gives an annual average of 21.1 million children. In the first three months of 2019, said UNICEF, there have been over 110,000 cases of measles around the world, almost 300% more than in the same period last year. ""The breeding ground for the outbreak of global measles that we witness today was established years ago,"" said Henrietta Fore, executive director of UNICEF. The UN agency explained that the two doses of the vaccine are ""essential"" to protect children from measles. In 2017, the coverage of the first dose reached 85%, a figure ""relatively constant"", but the second dose reached only 67%. Skepticism about vaccines The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends a threshold of 95% coverage in order to conquer the ""immunity collective"", although it is far from this goal due to, among other things, to ""weak health systems"" and, in some cases, ""the fear or the skepticism of vaccines."" UNICEF drew attention to the fact that it is a problem which also affects high-income countries, where the coverage of the first dose is 94% and the second dose, 91%, according to the most recent data. ""The united states tops the list of high-income countries where there are more children who did not receive the first dose of the vaccine between 2010 and 2017, more than 2.5 million"", followed by France and the Uk, with over 600,000 and 500,000 infants are not vaccinated, respectively, during the same period, has required UNICEF. In countries of low and middle income, has pointed out, ""the situation is serious"".

"20712","Around 7.2 million people were born in Spain between 1970 and 1980 and are the group that the Ministry of Health recommends be vaccinated against measles if they have not been vaccinated previously or have not had the disease, before the rebound of the virus worldwide. Due to the confusion generated, sources of Health have reiterated that the epidemiological situation of measles in our country has not changed, keeping the state of removal from 2016, and remember that the recommendations are reflected in the common calendar of vaccination throughout life. Why the generation of the 70's? Routine vaccination against measles began to generalize in 1981 through the mmr vaccine, which also protects from rubella and mumps, "" explains dr. Luis Ignacio Martínez Alcorta, director of innovation of the board of directors of the Spanish Association of Vacunología. All children born from that year that met the immunization schedule are properly immunized. In the decade of the 70's they used a monovalent vaccine against measles but only for a short period of time, so that there is optimal protection against disease for those who now have between 40 and 50 years, who are the ""target group"" of the recommendation of Health. And what about those born before 1970? The percentage of people born before 1970 who have not had measles is ""marginal"", says the doctor. Before that year the virus was circulating widely and is a disease as transmissible that more than 90 % of the people had already experienced before reaching the age of 18 years. ""It is extremely rare that do not."" Health assumes that these people are immune by having had the disease previously. How do you know if there is that shot? When in doubt whether you are vaccinated or has had measles, ""it is always better to get vaccinated"" because it does not pose any risk even if you have passed the disease. There is an analytical proof called serology to know if a person has suffered or not a certain disease ""but it is not recommended to systematize its use because it is much more cost-effective and safe to vaccinate,"" says dr. Martinez Alcorta. The only caution to take in account for administering the triple viral is, in the case of a woman, if you are pregnant and if the person has a chronic condition that results in immunosuppression, or is allergic to any component of the vaccine. What to do to get the vaccine? If it has been born in the years 70, there is to go to the health center for the medical advice. In the event you need to get the vaccine, the vaccine is ""completely safe, highly effective, and is free"". It is a vaccine of live attenuated virus and is administered in two doses with a minimum difference of four weeks between one and the other. The protection is approximately 93%. The side effects, if they appear, are ""mild and transient"". Currently, the first dose is given at 12 months and the second at 3 or 4 years. The vaccination rate of mmr in 2018 was higher than 95% in the first dose but the second dose is half of the autonomous communities did not come to that coverage. ""There is a tendency to cover vaccine tend to decrease as children get older,"" he says. Spain free of the virus measles is a disease ""extremely contagious"", so if you do not have ""high"" coverage vaccine of 95% or higher the virus continues to circulate and can be extended to other countries where it was not flowing so endemic. It is a disease that can be eradicated, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), which keeps Spain in the list of countries free of the virus. Sources of Health have reiterated that we are not facing a situation of urgency. Why there has been an increase in cases? There is not a single cause, but several. One of them is the lack of access to health services and immunization in some parts of the world or in certain populations. In developed countries such as the Uk, which has lost the status of having eradicated the virus, Martinez Alcorta points to the information ""not true and not proven scientifically"", which is accessed through the internet ""that makes some people seeking to renege on"" vaccines or ""hesitate"" at the time of putting them on to their children. How is the virus spread? The infection occurs primarily by the respiratory route through coughing, sneezing or talking. The virus can remain for up to two hours in the atmosphere. The disease presents with high fever, produces rhinorrhea (runny nose), conjunctivitis, cough and a rash is very characteristic. ""People think that it is a own illness of childhood that does not involve any risk but could be severe,"" warns the doctor. In fact, in one out of every thousand cases it can cause death and the most frequent complications are neurological, pneumonia, blindness, and severe diarrhea.",1132,"spain"

"2018","The measles vaccine does not increase the risk of autism, confirms a new study VACCINES - 650.000 children were followed for more than a decade to understand what connection might exist between this disease and the MMR vaccine. And they have not found anything conclusive. A very large study of over 650.000 Danish children followed up for more than a decade came to the same conclusion as several previous studies: the vaccine against measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine does not increase the risk of autism. The study has taken into account the data of all Danish children born from 1999 to 2010, followed up in 2013. The researchers compared the number of children who received a diagnosis of autism among vaccinated and unvaccinated cases, and found no difference. ""The study strongly supports the fact that MMR vaccine does not increase the risk of autism, does not trigger autism in children at risk (with risk factors, ed), and is not associated with a clustering of cases of autism after vaccination"", write the researchers in the study published in the Annals of internal Medicine in the United States. Already a study in 2002 on 537.000 children The authors stress that their work strengthens in particular a 2002 study on 537.000 Danish children.

""Of the epidemics that continue"". ""When we see the reported cases increase by 50%, we know that we are headed in the wrong direction,"" said Katherine O'brien, the director of the department of Immunization and biologicals, WHO, during a press conference. ""Our data show that there was a substantial increase (of the number) of measles cases. We see it in all the regions. We are seeing outbreaks that may be prolonged, and that are growing"". These figures are provisional given that the countries have until April to announce the registered cases in 2018.

It comes to figures supplied by the authorities, and Katrina Kretsinger, said that the number of dead was probably higher. Measles is a serious disease and highly contagious, which can be avoided by using two doses of a vaccine ""safe and effective"", according to the WHO, who deplores the dissemination of false information about the vaccine, particularly in the rich countries. Measles can cause complications, debilitating, or even fatal, including encephalitis, pneumonia and a permanent loss of vision. The risk of death and complications is particularly high in infants and in young children who are malnourished or whose immune system is weakened. ""We're not able to vaccinate the children"". Last year, measles has caused the death of approximately 136.000 people in the world, according to WHO. ""We are going backwards in relation to progress and we do backwards not because we don't have the tools to prevent this, we have the tools to prevent measles. We recoil because we don't vaccinate ' children, noted Katherine O'brien. At the global level, ""the primary reason"" for this failure in the vaccination of children is that ""those who need it the most (...) do not have access to the vaccine"", she said, pointing to the increase in the number of ""fragile States, health emergencies and refugees"" in the world. ""Children who are not vaccinated are the poorest, those who live in the most marginalized communities, this may be the children of refugees, of migrants"".",1125,"france"

In 2015, worldwide, approximately 20 million children were not vaccinated against the measles. Measles is not a common cold, but a highly contagious disease that spreads through direct contact and air and is still today one of the major causes of child deaths. Each year, measles kills over 130,000 children: 15 per hour, every hour of every day of the year. 75% of the deaths caused by measles occur in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, India, Indonesia, Nigeria, and Pakistan. Measles is coming back to threaten the health and lives of our children and, if the vaccination coverage will continue to decrease, there is a real risk of return to see in our country, scenes that we were hoping to be cast out for ever, and the families who mourn the loss of a child for the fault of a disease that could be avoided with a simple vaccine free of charge. In 2015, have been recorded major outbreaks in Egypt, Ethiopia, Germany, Kyrgyzstan, and Mongolia. In Germany and in Mongolia the infection occurred among the elderly, underlining the need for vaccinating adolescents and young adults who have no protection against measles.

"2026","INFOGRAPHIC - The death of a young woman by measles illustrates the fragility of the vaccine coverage in France. If the vaccine is now mandatory for new-born on or after 1 January 2018, the vaccination is strongly recommended for adults born after 1980. There are these professors of medicine, gurus antivaccinaux or simply anti-labs who say since years that the measles is a benign disease and that imply that there is no need to get vaccinated since it is protected longer after she got it naturally. There are those who believe... and the children die. The mother of Jessica (age 31) who died last Saturday of measles in Poitiers, ""the rage"" against the CHU of Poitiers where she thinks that her daughter has been contaminated. The investigation will tell what it is. Jessica was not immunized because the measles vaccine was only recommended, but was not included in the routine vaccinations when she was a baby, explained her mother. For her, as for many others, ""recommended"" was understood as ""optional"". The decision of the minister of health, Agnes Buzyn, to return to a vaccination requirement as of this year will have the merit of putting an end to these misunderstandings. Catch-up national! This morning, on France Inter, Agnes Buzyn was clear: ""I urge people who have not been vaccinated or who have not vaccinated their children to do a ""catch-up"". On Monday, the regional Agency of health of New-Aquitaine has already noted that ""the vaccination coverage in the New Aquitaine is inadequate for dealing with this epidemic"" (only 3 children out of 4 well-protected, at the age of two years) and that there was an urgent need to check that we had received two doses of vaccine in infancy (at 12 and 18 months). The message is valid for all, and not only in this region. ""People born since 1980 should have received a total of two doses of trivalent vaccine (MMR, Measles, mumps, rubella, ED)"", remember the immunization schedule 2018, published a few days ago. Two doses ""If one was never vaccinated, he should do two doses, if one has received a single dose, it is necessary to make the second... and if one does not know and that one was born after 1980, it is necessary to make at least one dose,"" says the Figaro, the Pr Daniel Floret, pediatrician-infectiologist and vice-chairman of the technical Committee of vaccinations. Why not if one was born before 1980? ""Surveys of seroprevalence have shown that virtually all those who are born before 1980 have been contaminated by the measles!"", he explains. Jessica could she be saved if she had been informed in good time of cases of measles, with which it had been potentially in contact with the CHU of Poitiers? Here, too, the investigation will say but what is certain is that a preventive vaccination is possible in the 72 hours following the alleged contact, and that it is possible to administer the immunoglobulins in case of contraindication to the vaccine (for example pregnancy), even after 72 hours.

Myths about measles 1. In 1998, the british researcher Andrew Wakefield an article in the prestigious scientific journal 'Lancet', in which he showed a connection between the MMR vaccine and autism. His research has since been withdrawn because it was forged and fabricated. In 2010, Andrew Wakefield even convicted of malpractice, lost his lageautorisation, and the Lancet withdrew the article back. Still creates Wakefields research is still today a concern that maslinge-the vaccine would increase the risk of later developing autism. 2. That the MMR vaccine have to contain mercury is also a myth, which repeatedly has been ruled out. The myth has arisen because one has used it mikrobedrabende molecule 'thiomersal', which contains ethylkviksolv. However, it was removed globally from vaccines in the 1990s and in Denmark in 1992. It is, therefore, not in the MMR vaccine 3. A third myth is that a disease such as measles makes the immune system stronger – and that by giving the vaccine don't let the immune system develop naturally. The MMR vaccine is live, attenuated cells, which is injected into the body. The body's immune system is already in the majority, when the cells come in, and therefore will not be sick by the vaccine. Research has shown that the immune in contrast even stronger by vaccination. 2018, young people had the dutchmen after the draw either BCG-vaccine against tuberculosis or salt water without effect. Four weeks after, all the participants challenged with the yellow fever virus, which have nothing to do with tuberculosis to do.

The new Figures are really worrying? Dorothea Matysiak-Klose: Well, in the first half of this year, significantly more cases in Europe occurred in this decade, on average, per year. This is really worrying and frustrating. Especially when you consider that we want to eliminate the measles soon, so the population so immune want to make that every measles outbreak will be nipped in the Bud. TIME ONLINE: you have to Honestly say that about half of all cases occurred this year in Ukraine. And in the Ukraine has been going on since the 2014 war. It seems to be not so much a European as a regional Problem. Dorothea Matysiak-Klose is a researcher in the field of Impfprävention at the Robert Koch-Institute. There they developed, among other things, strategies by which diseases such as measles or rubella through vaccination in the population pushed to the back, can be. © Dorothea Matysiak-Klose Matysiak-Klose: Almost always, when we see a sharp increase in measles cases is still more of a regional phenomenon, but it can quickly become a European. The cases do not extend homogeneously over the whole of Europe, and not always the same countries. In spite of this extremely high case as in the Ukraine, are rare figures. Zeit ONLINE: What could be the reasons? Matysiak-Klose: The vaccination rates in the Ukraine, in fact, always quite good, are there decreased in the last ten years. The result is that in these years the number of those, which are for the susceptible pathogens, across all age groups has increased. Is: the worse the immunity in the population, the higher the probability that there is an outbreak if measles can be carried into the country in. TIME ONLINE: you say ""brought in"" – how it ever comes to a outbreak? What is measles? Measles measles diseases are among the virus. The pathogen is extremely sensitive to heat, light, and disinfectants. Is transferred to it by droplets – so when in contact with Infected. It is usually sufficient, in a room with a man to stop carrying the highly contagious Virus. Especially in developing countries, measles continues to be a large Problem. In Germany, the number of outbreaks has decreased significantly. Since the seventies there is a cheap and efficient vaccine against the pathogen. But it gets repeated to regional epidemics. Not eradicated the measles in spite of the efforts of the health authorities still. Course of the disease, the First signs of cold symptoms such as runny nose, cough, and fever. In a second Phase of the disease is a rash with reddish-brown spots forming. Contagious the measles are already about five days before the rash is visible. The incubation period after infection is eight to ten days. For the year 2016, the world health organization estimates that 89.780 people in the globe died as a result of the infection. Most of the dead are children under five years of age. So 2016 was the first year in which the number of measles deaths was below the 100,000 mark. The cause of death may be due to the Virus caused inflammation of the brain. In addition, the pathogen weakens the immune system, making infections with other viruses or bacteria severe can run. Thanks to vaccination, the number of deaths declined cases since 2000, more than 84 percent. Previously, up to 548.000 people died on average every year from the consequences of a measles infection. Vaccination and side effects Since 1984, the world health organization, the goal of the measles, due to the consistent vaccination to eradicate. The vaccine is a live virus vaccine, prepared from attenuated measles virus. It is combined with attenuated Mumps and rubella pathogens and is therefore referred to as the MMR vaccine. The Standing Committee on vaccination (Stiko) at the Robert Koch-Institute recommends a first vaccination for children between the ages of eleven and 14 months. Until the end of the second year of life (recommended at the age of 15 to 23 months) is also supposed to be the second MMR vaccination is carried out. Especially due to a very low vaccination Coverage at the time of second vaccination of young children, the immunity in this country is lower than that of the world health organization called for. A rate of 95 percent for the measles in a country as eliminated. The Stiko recommends, therefore, all people who were born after 1970, immunization with the MMR vaccine, if they are not vaccinated or don't know. Side effects of vaccination are rare. This redness at the injection site shortly after vaccination and in the short term, and slight fever may occur. In part, patients suffer from headaches, fatigue or gastrointestinal discomfort. Even more rare allergic reactions, inflammation, longer-lasting joint or a possible inflammation of the Brain. Matysiak-Klose: measles are highly contagious, much more than Ebola, the flu or other viruses, in front of which many people are afraid of contagious. In order to become sick, you just have to be in a room where an infected Person was. The first symptoms resemble a flu-like infection, before a diagnosis can be safer on the basis of the typical skin rash make. Potentially can spread measles so very quickly.

Thus, not more than every tenth child in the world, the most necessary vaccinations, write to the world health organization (WHO) and the children's Fund, Unicef, in a joint report. Most of those Affected lived in regions affected by conflict or in poor countries. The specialists are also concerned about the impact of Impfgegnern, which spread via social media, of false information, said the Director of the WHO-Impfabteilung, Kate O'Brian. The global rate of vaccination against diphtheria, Tetanus and whooping cough, as well as the first dose against measles are stagnating according to the analysis, since a few years, at around 86 per cent - too little to prevent outbreaks of diseases effectively. A vaccination Coverage of at least 95 per cent is necessary. Number of measles cases doubled, While in the case of many diseases, especially children in the poorest areas of the world are affected by gaps, exist in the case of the measles large fluctuations within a wide variety of Income. This has contributed in the past year, to devastating outbreaks in many Parts of the world, the report says. 2018 have been reported, therefore, around 350,000 measles cases - almost twice as many as in the previous year.

In the meantime, it had managed, however, to increase the immunization Coverage among children to 90 percent. In 19 countries, by contrast, the ratio declined for the first measles vaccination in the past year by ten percent or more. ""Opponents have always existed,"" said O'brian. ""Such groups are a small phenomenon, but you can spread your message with social media today more than in the past.""

It is sufficient that a person is contaminated so that it contaminates in its turn between 15 and 20 people, "" said the ARS. Why does it particularly the New-Aquitaine ? For ARS, the answer is simple. The vaccination coverage in New-Aquitaine is ""not enough"" and ""varies from 70.8% to 81% when WHO recommended coverage of 95 percent,"" says the health agency. Between 2008 and 2016, more than 24,000 cases of measles were reported in France (of which nearly 15,000 cases in 2011 alone).

"2032","Immunization against measles, near Manila, on 16 February. NOEL CELIS / AFP at A time when international bodies such as the world health Organization (WHO) and Unicef concerned about measles outbreak on the planet, a new outbreak has been reported in France, Wednesday, march 6, by public Health, France. The thirteen cases (seven suspects, six confirmed), as identified in a nursery and primary school in the Var, are individuals by the way they have been spotted. Their discovery is the result of an active search of health authorities from a detected case in Costa Rica. At the end of February, a little boy of 5 years old, on vacation in this central American country, was hospitalized on the spot. Non-vaccinated, he was for a time placed in quarantine, as well as his family. The case went less unnoticed locally that Costa Rica was free of measles for several years : the last indigenous case was in 2006, the last imported to 2014. ""Using the case of this child, the teams of the regional Agency of health and of the cell inter-regional epidemiology have led the investigation, and somehow ""rewind the ball of yarn',"" says Denise Antona, physician epidemiologist at public Health France. It was necessary to contact the principal of the school, and then through him all the families of the students, which has not been easy during this holiday period.

"5567","Cases of measles in Europe almost quadrupled in 2017, and at least 35 children have died of the disease, according to the latest data released by the World Health Organization (WHO). Last year, the cases registered were 21.315, while in 2016 were 5.273. Measles has concerned mainly Romania and Italy, where they were registered several deaths attributable to the disease. The WHO has identified “large outbreaks” with 100 or more cases of measles in 15 of the 53 countries in which is divided the area of Europe. The highest number of people with measles has been in Romania: 5.562. In the country the disease is widespread, especially among the roma populations who live in rural areas and often do not vaccinate their children: they underestimate the effects of measles, which can lead to very high fever and suffered permanent neurological damage, and do not bring their children to the hospital or take them late. The mortality rate for the disease is higher compared to other countries. In Italy, the cases of measles that have been surveyed by the WHO have been 5.006, a very high number when you consider that according to data of the ministry of Health in 2016 were 862. In our country the 2017 was the year with more cases from 2013, when they were 2.258, less than half. The WHO says that countries – such as Italy – where there have been more cases in recent years have had to face various challenges, such as a reduction in the coverage of vaccines is very low among some of the most marginalised groups, disruption of stocks of vaccines and systems with little effective surveillance of the disease”. After Italy, the third country in which they were recorded the most cases, it was the Ukraine with 4.767. It is difficult to establish with precision what has been the influence of campaigns against vaccines in the increase in cases of measles, and deaths linked to the disease. The greater number of the sick was, however, recorded in the countries where it is the most talked about vaccines in recent years and where there has been a reduction in vaccination, as in Italy between the end of 2016 and early 2017. The campaigns of the so-called movements “no vax”, often opposed to vaccines for urban legends, or as a result of a scientific fraud in medical history recently, has meant that the number of vaccinated children decreased significantly, putting at risk the immunity of the flock. The vaccine is in fact the most important resource to be immune from the measles without having contracting the disease and therefore the risks that this entails. As with other vaccines, it is critical that in a population reaches the so-called “immunity of the flock”: if the vast majority of people are vaccinated, the disease cannot spread, and protect, indirectly, also a few that you can vaccinate for various medical reasons. In a sense, getting vaccinated is also a selfless act, because those who do not use a vaccine often has disease of the immune system, therefore it is more exposed to the risks of viral diseases, particularly aggressive. In the case of measles, the medical experience tells us that you reach an immunity of the flock when they are vaccinated between 90 and 95 percent of the people. Below this threshold, an epidemic of measles is far more likely to spread, as shown by the data of the WHO. In Italy last summer have intervened before the government and then the Parliament to approve a law that makes mandatory vaccinations to enroll their children in school. The preliminary data seem to indicate an increase of the vaccinated, but will need more time to evaluate the effects of the measure. Similar laws have been approved in Germany and in France, with fines or other sanctions against parents who do not abide by them. Thanks to vaccinations, at the global level, the effects of measles on the population, however, have been decreased drastically. In the Eighties, the disease caused the death of almost 2.6 million people a year around the world. In 2016, the WHO has recorded just under 100 thousand dead.",1043,"italy"

This time the bard of immunology, before which every dissident is immediately labeled as a dunce or a dupe, took a beautiful goof. About of the intention expressed by the president of the Health Commission of the Senate, Pierpaolo Sileri, to modify the Ddl for vaccines by introducing the obligation to provide certification of the school only for the measles, Burioni tweeted furiously: ""From today, not I will note the more freewheeling policies on vaccines, why change your mind twice a month is fine, three times per day. Ps: I wish to inform you that the vaccine against measles does not exist, there never will be, and if a say exist if the inietterebbero only madmen"". Upset by the ""soft line"" announced by the majority, the prof is unleashed on the social network, seeking solace among his fans. But things don't go exactly as expected. Let's skip for a moment on the political judgment expressed by professor Burioni. The change to the study of the majority, in fact, it puts into discussion only the necessity to submit the certification of the school. As explained by the same Sileri, ""the amendment does not take away the obligation of vaccination, but leaves only the administrative sanction, and removes the exclusion from school. But it may therefore be necessary, as we are considering, to leave the requirement for the measles, which poses the greatest problems at this time."" Let's focus rather on the second part of the tweet: according to the immunologist, the monovalent vaccine against measles ""does not exist and will not exist ever"". In the flood of digital that follows, the epithets to the advocates of the proposal are wasted: ignorant, idiots, madmen, incompetents, charlatans, and so forth. Some brave user tries to challenge the dogma of the infallibility burioniana and raises the hand to dispute the claim. More than one, in fact, recalls have been vaccinated (or have done to vaccinate the children) only for the measles. It was perhaps the water contained in the syringe? No, admits Burioni, that prepared ""existed, now no longer exists."" As it says on the website of the Agency of the drug, currently in Italy it is not allowed the marketing of one component against diphtheria, pertussis (whooping cough), measles, mumps, and the same is measles. But, according to the bank data of the same Aifa, in our Country were in a trade four drugs based on the active ingredient of the vaccine morbilloso alive: the Attenuvax and Rouvax (manufactured by Msd), the Morbilvax (Gsk), and the Moraten Berna (Crucell). Today, these medicinal products are withdrawn, but at least up until the early years of this decade were on sale. The question assumed a different perspective. To the question about the medical reason for which the monovalent does not exist, Burioni is quick to define the issue a ""complicated subject"" and refers to the publication of a post on her website Medicalfacts.en. According to the american Center for disease control, the reason is very simple: with the passing of time, the pharmaceutical industry has focused on the production of polyvalent vaccines to decrease the number of injections which are to be subjected to infants and avoid the decrease of the coverage of two other vaccines often associated with measles, that is to say, the antiparotite and the antirosolia. Once established that the constituent is not a thought born from the sick mind of some ignorant no vax, but a drug really existed, let's do another sensational discovery: the monovalent vaccine for the measles still exists! To show the packaging of the Measles vaccine live bp (which is the same device we are talking about) in a video posted on Facebook is another doctor, paediatrician, Eugenio Serravalle. ""The vaccine monocomponent measles exists,"" says Serravalle, ""is located in Rome at the pharmacy international of the Vatican or a few kilometres after crossing the border with Switzerland. Is freely in commerce with the presentation of a medical prescription"". In short, in the era of globalization we can say that is just around the corner to find this product. Another user on Twitter, post a link to an indian website where you can buy the monovalent measles to 120 pounds. The omelet is made. Cornered, the professor reacts as most congenial to him, that is to say insulting: ""The monovalent vaccine against measles that some sucker will show triumphant, there is, but in India. Produced by Cyrus Poonawalla Group. Have a good trip to the willing"". We do not want to disappoint Burioni, but the vial is available for shipping international, so anyone can have them delivered conveniently at home. And we don't want to enter even in the controversy regarding the usefulness of this or that formulation. The alps, for example, the production of Rouvax was discontinued in 2017, but if they keep the stocks from the time of its administration is even recommended for children between 6 and 8 months.

Measles symptoms include a blotchy red rash. Picture: Thinkstock.  Dr Rachel Pudney, PHE's South East health protection consultant, said: ""Measles is not a harmless childhood illness as many think - it is extremely infectious, can strike anyone and sadly in some instances can have very serious long term and life changing consequences.  ""The best form of protection against measles is the MMR vaccination which is why PHE is urging people to check their MMR status with their GP surgery.  ""It is really important that anyone who hasn't already had two doses of the MMR vaccine contacts their GP surgery for an appointment to get vaccinated.

What have been assured to Efe sources of the Ministry of Health after this Friday, the president of the said Society, Pere Godoy, to be sure -in The Country - that they are preparing a recommendation to vaccinate the entire population who has between 40 and 50 years which do not have accredited, which in their day received two doses of the vaccine. ""With this recommendation we are not only in agreement but which reinforces one of the measures already included in the common schedule of vaccination throughout the life approved by the Interterritorial Council of November"", have highlighted the sources of the department that directs María Luisa Carcedo. In addition, the Public Health Commission of the Ministry of Health is discussing with the communities, ""implementing the Plan of prevention against the measles, with new measures"", added the same sources. Advertising The common calendar of vaccination states that all those born before 1970 and who have not been vaccinated or have not had measles, should visit their health center to be vaccinated. Currently, in Spain the vaccination schedule includes mmr (measles, rubella and mumps) with two doses: one at 12 months and another at 3/4 years of age, you are reminded on the website of the Spanish Association of Pediatrics. Advertising For any age: 2 doses, with an interval of one month between the two (very few contraindications, e.g., pregnancy). Two weeks ago the World Health Organization (WHO) declared that Spain was a country free of measles virus and Health called it a ""success of the National Health System""-in a press note of August 16-. The 233 cases of measles confirmed in Spain between 1 January and 21 July of 2019 are ""imported cases or side to them""and the transmission ""has been interrupted with ease"", are then reported. On the other hand, according to data provided Thursday by the WHO, Europe recorded in the first half of this year 89.994 cases of measles, more than in all 2018 (84.462), and the data show that it continues the upward trend initiated in the last few years, going from 5.273 cases in 2016 to 25.863 in 2017. It is a report based on the data of the 53 countries that make up the european area of the WHO, which has found that for the first time since the start of the verification process in 2012, four countries have lost the status of having eradicated the disease -United Kingdom, Albania, Czech Republic and Greece-, while two others (Austria and Switzerland) have reached.",1034,"spain"
"5568","In the controversy about the surge in measles in Italy francamenta lacked the commitment of the 5 Star Movement, in a press note of the deputies of the social affairs committee, and the chairman of the Group Room Andrea Cecconi argues that there is a “cycle peaks” of the disease on the basis of a communiqué of the ministry of health and therefore the data communicated yesterday on the rise are not alarming. The release of the deputies Silvia Giordano, Vega Colonnese, Giulia Vita, Giulia Grillo, Marialucia Lorefice, Matthew Montero, and Dalila Nesci has a language that is felt and does not blame anyone, but argues – rightly – that the highest peaks there were in other years and then he speaks of a “cycle peaks” that would explain the whole “in front Of the new wave of declarations with respect to the increase of cases of measles the first thing we need to do clearly and maintain coolness. For this purpose we hope that the minister Lorenzin and the technicians of the dicastery could clarify the following: the website of the ministry of health has written that ‘measles is a disease that is endemo-epidemic that has spikes in outbreaks every 3-4 years. According to the official data of the Epicenter, the supervisory body for epidemiology of the national Institute of Health, published in February 2017, in the month of January 2017 have been reported 238 cases of measles. The highest peak in recent years was recorded in 2013, with 382 reported cases, followed by the peak of the 300 cases that have occurred between January and march 2014, they added. Before you create a panic situation, we ask the competent ministry to exclude the cases who are happening these days are divergent with respect to the cycle of the peaks of this disease. This in order to better substantiate the situation of alarm that is coming to determine that the same Lorenzin is not contributing to the limit”. The ministry of Health and the ""nonsense"" of the M5S on the measles The ministry of Health has, however, responded in a rather severe, talking openly of the ""nonsense"" about the statement of the Movement: ""The trend of measles in the population with vaccination coverage is insufficient to stop the transmission, as happens, unfortunately, in Italy (and for this WHO keeps us under observation for two years) is, in fact, in cycles, determined by the accumulation of a sufficient number of individuals not immunized and therefore susceptible. When this number becomes high enough to allow the circulation of the virus, the infection expands until it is limited by the immune barriers of those who have been vaccinated,” he said in a note the director-general of Prevention, Ministry of Health, Ranieri War in relation to what is claimed by the Movement 5 Stars on the increase of cases in measles in Italy.”It is a matter of simple modeling – explains – based on the high capacity of infection of the virus from one side and by the immune status of the population on the other. The threshold of coverage of 95% is the limit of balance that prevents the spread of the virus. To say that it is normal to generate epidemics of measles in cycles-annual, is a nonsense. No epidemic is expected to occur to the achievement of the threshold of cover indicated by the national plan. What is happening is due to lowering of the same. There is a way to prevent them, and vaccinated everyone.” If we want to take a look at the future that awaits Italy if the antivaccinisti will continue to do propaganda against vaccines do not need to go in the countries of the so-called Third World, just go in Romania, where from February 2016 in the course of a measles outbreak that, between the end of September 2016 to 17 February 2017, has caused more than 3000 cases. In Romania, the vaccination coverage for the first and the second dose of the vaccine MCV is less than 90%. According to the official bulletin of the European Center for Disease Control notified cases are 3071 and 16 people died of measles. In particular, 549 cases were in children who had less than a year (he died three). As explained by Antonietta Filia, and Maria Cristina Rota) of the higher Institute of sanital 96,3% of the cases of contagion (2958 cases) was not vaccinated, 2.6% (80) had received only one dose of vaccine against measles and 1.1% (33) had received both doses provided while all of the deaths occurred among people immunocompromesse or with comorbidities. This means that if around at those people there were people regularly vaccinated they would probably be still alive. The situation is not limited to Romania, and our Country: Austria (68 cases reported by the end of December 2016), Germany (43 cases in 2017). In Eu countries where were recorded outbreaks of measles, the vaccination coverage is below the optimal threshold of 95% for the second dose, in Italy, the vaccination coverage is less than 95% for the first dose of the vaccine. This means that thanks to the incessant work of the extension workers pseudoscientifici which are the transparency for the alzheimer antivaccinista Italy is opening the doors to a disease that could be prevented with two simple injections where the level of risk (the famous adverse reactions) is very low. Of this we are not doctors but also to the politicians of M5S (and Beppe Grillo), which for years lead a senseless battle against the vaccines.",1032,"italy"
"5561","In Lombardy, as well as in other Regions of italy, and alarm of measles. The statistics of the ministry of Health have shown how the region, together with Piedmont, Lazio and Tuscany, is at the head of the national ranking as concerns the number of cases: 134 from January to march (in the sole Lombardia region), against a little less than 200 recorded throughout the 2016. That there is a ""peak endemic"" this is also attested by the regional councillor for Welfare Giulio explore the old, which has already announced some measures to combat the spread of the disease: ""We have decided to activate a monitoring to verify the coverage of the assisted for individual pediatrician, and family through the analysis of the data of the data base of the regional. This will allow the pediatrician to aim the reinforcement on his clients and to the Ats of reason with the Order of the Doctors and professionals on steps that should be put in the field"". In practical terms, the goal of the assessor is to reach for the measles, a vaccination coverage of 95 per cent (against the current 92 per cent, still the highest at national level): ""unlike other diseases esentematiche – has in fact stated the councillor -, the measles are part of the group of infectious diseases that can be totally eradicated if you can't reach the percentage of the 95 percent of the population vaccinated. For this reason I recommend to the families of children and adolescents to adhere to the offer of vaccination, totally free, made available from our health service"". In Brianza, the highest number of cases of measles explore the old has also explained that, however, the trend of outbreaks, measles is cyclical: ""The most recent peak endemic in our region with 771 cases was registered in 2013 and in subsequent years, the cases have stabilized between 100 and 200. Since last January, however, the number of cases has increased again, and today we share 134 (63 in January), (61 in February), (10 march). The peaks endemic are cyclical, and vary depending on the proportion of ‘susceptible', that is, of persons not vaccinated and who have not contracted the disease. The more this number increases, the longer the interval between a peak of the endemic and the other shortens. It follows that only the presence of an increasing number of vaccinated can prevent the spread of the disease"". Among the territories most affected by the contagion there is the Brianza (51 cases), the Valpadana (16), Bresciano (17) and the metropolitan city of Milan (37), even if this last territory is the most extensive of the other: ""Although measles is a disease rarely fatal, he concluded, explore the old – complications can be severe and debilitating, this is not to be underestimated, but destroyed by vaccination"". How does the measles vaccination in Lombardy, Right on the front of the vaccination, explore the old recalled how the vaccine against measles is offered free of charge in the form of a trivalent vaccine together with the vaccination antiparotite and anti rubella: ""The vaccination antimorbillo is offered in Lombardy, to all the children at the 13th-15th month of life (first dose) and 5-6 years (second dose). It is also possible, during the vaccination of adolescents in the case of ‘susceptibility' to measles (i.e. the boy was not vaccinated reported not ever having had the disease). In the presence of cases of measles, the vaccination is offered to partners and contacts within 72 hours of the onset of the rash, also in school communities shall provide, where applicable, to the recovery of vaccination in any children/children not vaccinated."" On the theme of awareness towards the importance of vaccination is also in the course of the communication campaign Wikivaccini, the information project of the Lombardy Region, through which the mothers and the parents (but also citizens) can find answers to the many questions that we pose at the time of vaccination or be vaccinated against infectious diseases.",1031,"italy"

In Europe, the increase in the number of infections of up to 400 per cent to 21,000 patients, reports the WHO. The disease is gaining ground in Europe, even though this is not required. It is a good, working vaccine, but to the dismay of the WHO, the ECDC and the Dutch institute for public health and try out some of the organizations, people are afraid of the vaccine and unsubstantiated claims. Since the introduction of the vaccination program in 1976, there will always be a group that is not a needlestick, you want to get out of their religion or because they have an anthroposophical way of life on hold. However, the coverage is always above the critical limit of the 95 percent of the time. A couple of years ago, that all changed. A decline set in which, last year, to 93.8 per cent of the Dutch population had been vaccinated. This figure is a national average.

EU concerned about to low measles vaccination coverage According to the EU Commission reached in the past year, only four member countries-Sweden, Hungary, Portugal and Slovakia with the necessary vaccination rate of 95 percent.

In 2007, the competent EU Agency for prevention and control of diseases 14 EU member States had fulfilled according to the data, the 95-percent target. The result was outbreaks, an increase of measles and death cases in Europe, said Katainen. Measles is a caused by a virus, infection, and disease. This is transmitted by airborne droplets and is highly contagious. In the case of Infected with fever, cough, runny nose, and occasionally joint pain can occur after ten to twelve days.

January were treated 50 patients for suspected measles. About three weeks ago, the first measles case this year - the development could be threatening: in the Meantime, it was reported about a dozen cases, and in large part confirmed, and more are to be expected, it said on Tuesday - more on this in measles: Over a dozen infections. APA/ERWIN SCHERIAU, According to the Graz children's clinic Board of Directors, Ernst Eber since the 11. In January, some 50 patients due to measles or because of the suspicion has been treated. Five new suspected cases were ordered on Wednesday to the hospital. School attendance is forbidden On the 21. January had visited a measles sick Bub, the public school Anger in the district of Weiz - he is regarded as a contact person to that 15-Year-olds, the the 11. January has held up for three hours with measles in the waiting area of the children's clinic Graz. 26 non-vaccinated children forbidden to attend school, ""that is to say, the kids have to get one of us notices that by the end of the incubation time at 10. February may not visit the school,“ said district chief Rüdiger Taus. Other cases, it was very likely For a Booster in these cases it is too late - this effect only 72 hours after the infection, so occupational health doctor Ulrike Hammerl. The risk that unvaccinated students are already ill, and assesses you high: ""in Accordance with the current progressions, we know that a contact of one to two hours is sufficient in the same room. I appreciate that I still get secondary cases.“ APA/ERWIN SCHERIAU How many cases may come, shall be, according to Eber difficult high, because often the random decisions.

According to him, no teacher or other personnel of the school were taken by the ban, since all of the vaccinated or their immune status could be detected.

"2034","""This announcement reinforces the need for the entire population, to quickly check his vaccination, the only way to stop the epidemic,"" was eager to communicate the regional Agency of health (ARS) of New Aquitaine, reacting to the death of a young woman died from the measles. A 32 year old woman, non-vaccinated, is in effect passed away on February 10, at the CHU of Poitiers, in the Vienne, a-t we learned Tuesday. This is the first death of this viral infection of the year in France, and only the twentieth in the space of ten years (the last was found in July, where a teenager of 16 years old had succumbed to Marseille). According to the health authorities, this new case highlights the urgency to catch up with the French in the field of vaccination against measles. A delay that remains screaming, while the vaccination requirement is effective January 1, for new born. A drastic increase in cases in New Aquitaine The young woman, who died on February 10, was hospitalized on the 1st of February and then placed in the icu the next day. The measles epidemic, which is raging in New-Aquitaine since the beginning of November, 2017, ""persists"" in this region, according to the ARS, which identifies to this day 269 confirmed cases, including one in four (66) required hospitalization, and four of the patients icu admission. These numbers have more than doubled since January 24, when the ARS were 115 cases that resulted in 32 hospitalizations, an epidemic that affects mainly the Gironde river and the Vienne, where are the large cities of Bordeaux and Poitiers. In its press release, the CHU of Poitiers states that since 19 January, it has hosted 22 people infected with measles including ten children and four staff members. ""Measles is not a benign disease, especially to infants and adults, and can lead to respiratory complications (pneumonia) and neurological (meningoencephalitis) that can have very serious consequences,"" insists the ARS. The CHU of Poitiers is estimated that five people hospitalized ""were able to contract the disease at the contact of another patient in the CHU of Poitiers at the onset of the first case"". Vaccination coverage ""insufficient,"" According to the ARS, ""the immunisation coverage in New Aquitaine is currently insufficient to cope with this outbreak : according to the public Health data in France, it varies from 70.8 % to 81% depending on the departments when the World Health Organisation recommends 95 per cent coverage"". A trivalent vaccine against measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine has become mandatory for children born from 1 January, and it was already recommended for 12-18 months before. In addition, it may be caught at any age if doubt exists or if the two doses were not administered. ""France is not immune to a new outbreak of significant"" But the French do not seem to cooperate in the face of this disease. As if the situation concerned in New Aquitaine, it is not much better elsewhere. Since 2008, no department provides immunization coverage to 95% of its population. Today, only five French departments are approaching painfully of the 85% coverage (Ain, Haute-Saône, Ile-de-France, Seine-Saint-Denis, Val-de-Marne). And eight of them even display a coverage of less than 70% (Orne, Lot, Jura, Gers, Aude, Ariege, Hautes-Alpes and the Meeting), the last place, returning to the Hautes-Alpes, with 61.9 per cent (details here). ""Virus circulation remains active in several departments, France is not immune to a new outbreak of scale important, such as those seen currently in several european countries, first among which Romania (5290 cases between January 1, 2016 and may 5 2017, including 25 deaths),"" said Public Health France on his last newsletter. Epidemics are irregular but the risk of spreading very bright, With 269 cases since November (387 at the national level), New Aquitaine is, however, in a dynamic of particular concern. The epidemic remains certainly light years ahead of the peak of 2011 (15,000 persons had been affected by the disease on the whole territory of the country). But it is much more than that for 2016 (79 cases) and may well exceed 2017 (approximately 500 cases over the whole year, with an epidemic is particularly high in the region of Lorraine). As with measles, the numbers can quickly ignite. Particularly affecting young adults and children, it is a viral infection that is highly contagious, knowing that an infected person ""can infect between 15 and 20 people"", remind the health authorities. To stop the spread in the region, the hospital services have decided to extend the port of the mask and have launched a comprehensive operation audit of the vaccination of their staff. But without an awareness of the whole population, the health authorities will continue to be on alert.",1015,"france"

(CDC). The jewish community involved in the resurgence of This resurgence observed in many western countries is directly linked to the rise of anti-vaccination. These are especially present in religious communities, like the orthodox jewish community in New York, even if neither religious texts nor the jewish authorities of New York does not advise against no vaccination. So far, the State of New York required a series of vaccinations in order to integrate the school system, but granting exemptions for religious reasons. Now, the day care centres for the orthodox jewish community as well as the yeshivas, talmudic schools, which accept children who are not vaccinated would be liable to criminal prosecution and even closure.

The municipality has also pointed out that measles was a very contagious disease, for which there was no cure and that could cause medical complications, and even death. To justify the refusal of vaccines, the movement ""anti-vax"" often evokes the fear of an increased risk of autism, while this risk is not based on any evidence and all the scientific studies on the subject showed that there was no link between the two.

Protection against measles for all children - and fines of up to 2500 euros ""We want to protect all children from becoming infected with measles,"" - quoted by the newspaper, the Minister of health. ""All parents should be able to be sure that your child will not be infected with measles and are at risk."" Children without Vaccinations will be from Kita-visit excluded. ""Finally, children under ten months may not be vaccinated and, thus, are particularly vulnerable to are in day-care centres,"" said Spahn. In the case of schools this was not possible, because there is compulsory education is applicable. ""But who does not vaccinate his child is threatened by fines in the amount of up to 2500 euros."" This should be initiated by the health authorities. Spahn had announced proposals for a vaccination compulsory for may. The SPD also supports mandatory measles vaccinations for children in daycare centers and schools. Measles are highly contagious and can extend in rare cases, even fatal. The proof should be according to the report, the vaccination certificate or Vaccination certificate. ""Who can't be vaccinated for medical reasons, you must also prove with a medical certificate,"" said Spahn of the newspaper. Fund pays measles vaccine has been to Spahn, there is no cost incurred by the individual citizen, through the compulsory vaccination. ""The pay health insurance,"" the Minister said to the newspaper. ""The measles vaccine costs about 60 Euro. A measles infection, with the possible result of a multiple of diseases, however, more expensive."" Vaccination against measles should in the future be the same for all Doctors, except dentists possible. ""It's about to make the most of every visit to the doctor to check the vaccination status and to vaccinate,"" said Spahn. Also, the public health service should play a stronger role: ""He could offer to schools and day care centers vaccinations."" From the point of view of the EU Commission a vaccination compulsory is not a panacea to curb measles and other infectious diseases. ""Forced is not the only solution,"" said Vice-President Jyrki Katainen at last the German press Agency and other European media in Brussels. ""It can work in some countries, but other forms of organisation of vaccination appear to be equally effective."" Recently published data show that around seven per cent of school beginners are not protected in Germany against measles. In the decisive second vaccination against the highly contagious Virus, only Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and Brandenburg, achieve the target rate of at least 95 percent of the vaccinated children. The show went out at the school entrance examinations in 2017, data collected by the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) published in Berlin on Thursday. Vaccination rate according to Jens Spahn is not sufficient Spahn of the ""Bild am Sonntag"" said: ""I want to eradicate the measles. But not 93, but at least 95 percent of two measles must have vaccinations. This ratio, we do not reach, despite all the campaigns and good Appeals easy."" Proven the risks of vaccination are admittedly much lower than the risks of a disease. This applies particularly in the case of measles.

"2033","The world health Organization (WHO) is sounding the alarm and calling people to get vaccinated against the measles, this epidemic, highly contagious viral. In fact, since the month of January, 41 000 people have been affected by this infection and 37 Europeans have succumbed to, according to Le Parisien. In France, more than 2,700 cases have been reported. Compared to last year, where a little less than 24 000 cases had been identified, the number of patients is increasing. Olivier Robineau, physician infectious disease specialist at the hospital of Tourcoing (North), reminds the Parisian that "" measles is one of the most contagious diseases. A single sick person infects 18 people in non-vaccinated or who have not had measles during their childhood. ""The infection is spread primarily when coughing or sneezing. See also measles Epidemic : already more than 2 000 reported cases Regarding this disease, the Ukraine is a poor student with more than 23 000 cases since the beginning of the year. France comes, for her, in eighth position with 2 741 sick since November 2017. Vaccine coverage rates ""not high enough"" to Face this fact, which is the result of"" vaccination coverage not high enough "", according to Olivier Robineau, WHO calls for the vaccination.

It should be a requirement that almost all young children and young adults born since 1980 have received the two doses of the vaccine, also reminds public Health France. People born before this date are less likely to get sick, because they are more likely to have had measles during their childhood. A sick out of 1000 die of measles in France, as in our european neighbours, there is always a degree of suspicion about vaccines, and, consequently, the immunization coverage has stagnated. If nearly 90 % of children have completed their first bite, only two-thirds of them have completed their recall.

"3571","Very rare, but always fatal, is another complication, which can on average occur six to eight years after an acute measles infection. In the case of ""subacute sclerosing Panencephalitis"" (SSPE) survived the measles virus, for hitherto unknown reasons, the nerve and glial cells of the brain. The disease progresses slowly, and that makes the attention of: for example, by a drop in performance in school, unusual behaviour, neurological deficits, fainting. According to Jürgen Schneider-Schaulies from the Institute for Virology and Immunobiology, University of Würzburg, the risk to later develop SSPE is greater, the younger the patients are in acute measles. ""The risk is particularly high if the measles in the 1. Years of age by were made."" While it was assumed earlier that the SSPE of 100 000 (or later, one of 10,000) with measles-infected children appears to be according to the latest findings, the average risk for children under five years of age in about 1 in 3300, says Schneider-schaulies. For the very young, but even at about 20-Year-olds, the risk for complications due to measles is high. Why does a ""children's disease"" like the measles to create just Older so? Stéphane Gaudry from Hôpital Louis Mourier in France Colombes and other Doctors have to 36 measles patients (average age of 27.8 years) that are contracted between 2009 and 2011, examined closely. Five of these patients died as a result of the measles. According to the investigations of Doctors, the extent of immunosuppression that triggers the Virus, is dependent on age, and can take adults much longer. ""This, in turn, puts these patients at a greater risk for super infections (with bacteria) and subsequent complications, and could partly explain the Severity of the disease in this age group,"" write the French Doctors. 4. How can you protect yourself? What vaccines are there and how it looks with your safety? The 37-Year-old, who died in 2017 in Essen, was vaccinated against the measles. However, only once. Currently, it is recommended to vaccinate children twice against the measles: they are in this country for the first Time at the age of 11 to 14 months, the second Time at the age of 15 to 23 months. Studies had shown that some children respond to the first vaccination, after two times of vaccination, but the measles outbreak is prevented at 93 to 99 per cent of the Vaccinated. ""In the case of incomplete (less than twice) vaccinated persons or persons with uncertain vaccination status who were born after 1970, should be carried out a Booster"", recommended by the German society for infectious diseases. In the case of all that are born before 1970, the probability is very high to be as a child with the Virus come into contact and thus to have a life long immunity to measles acquired. The first Measles vaccine came out in 1963, on the market. In Germany they introduced the vaccine in 1970 (GDR) respectively in 1974 (West Germany). Before the introduction of the measles vaccination is estimated to have affected every year worldwide, 30 million people have the measles, every two to three years, there have been large outbreaks, and at the age of 15 years, almost everyone (95 percent) was therefore come in contact with the Virus.

"35103","The story of the mother, seville, 24 years old, and recorded in the official records as the last person killed here by a disease that seemed to be eradicated, and that now will resprout strongly in the US and France. Happened in Coria del Rio in 2011, The number 17 of the street Hato Blanco, in the seville town of Coria of the River, is not reached by chance. It is a street almost forgotten, of humble cottages and some look abandoned. Inside one of those houses lives Carmen and she also lives the memory of their daughter, Rocío Vidal, the last victim known and official of measles in Spain. Eight years ago the main wall of the small room in which he grew up Dew and the still living in your mother became an altar filled with photographs to large size of the young man who was barely 24 years old when he died. His face and smile are omnipresent in the reduced space is two sofas, a table and a cabinet for the tv. In one of those sofas, Carmen rests her worth and remember how life changed the month of April 2011 -when her eldest daughter started feeling tired and sore-and how the plans had to be cut short forever. Dew died, officially, of a ""simple"" measles -your mother will not believe it - and I never was able to study Nursing or grow the two children she had had with her boyfriend of a lifetime, Joaquin, who was only 15 years old and they married ""because he wanted and when he wanted to"". The small ones, Joachim and Lucia, they had six years and nine months, respectively, when Dew, his mother, fell ill suddenly. Carmen remembers it well. Both worked cleaning buses in a foundation of the nearby town of Palomares, in the night shift. That evening, about eight, her daughter picked it up in the small car of white color that a little before had bought -""with your money"", stresses the mother - and already in the workplace, something caught her attention in the hair Dew. ""It was like the hair of a dead,"" he says. But the young man said to be well and they, like any other day, to clean buses. However, this was not a night either. Half of the shift, the manager, Pepe, called Carmen, and warned him that his daughter was not well. I had told him the Dew, a pain in the side. The next day, the Dew did not appear at eight in the evening in his white car. I was already sick. Of measles, according to the first diagnosis that made him her primary care doctor Coria, who prescribed ""some pills"". He was told he had been her little nine-months, who had not yet vaccinated for measles, which we had pegged, and was sent home. Two days later the funeral, Lucy had to be entered by measles. The ""simple"" measles is not only not disappeared with the painkillers, but that was a plus. The fever reached up to 42 degrees -""up to where it reached the thermometer, which could not score more,"" stresses Carmen - and her head started to swell. He had, moreover, a ""mijitas"" in the face, which completed, according to the doctors I saw, the symptoms of a disease which at that time was causing havoc in the nearby municipality of San Juan de Aznalfarache, specifically in the neighborhood of Santa Isabel, where only half of school children were vaccinated. It was in this slum -as recorded in a study signed by epidemiologists Antonio Luna, Paula Ortega and Luis Miguel Rodriguez Benjumea and published in the Spanish Journal of Public Health, where experts place the Zone 0 of a measles outbreak (108 cases) which was extended to the whole province of Seville, ending with the life of Dew. Right there, in his humble neighborhood of Coria of the River, they heard two more cases of contagion. In total, 1.759 people in the whole province of Seville contracted a virus, the measles, to which the microbiologists considered ""a machine to infect"". Eight years later, the danger has not gone away. On the contrary. It has been expanded to 97 countries. In the united States are already more than 900 cases and 41 deaths. France, more than 300 and at least 23 dead. The latest victim, the champion of swimming Marine Eraville, transplanted of heart, that by having the defenses low because of the immunosuppressants has not been able to withstand the attack of the virus. Italy, Greece, Serbia, Russia and Ukraine already added 1.189 affected. In Spain, with 218 cases, there was even talk of three dead children, which in reality is due to a bacteria from the hospital. Some public hospitals, such as Fuenlabrada, in Madrid, have enabled beds in their isolation in anticipation of a rise in measles. In fact, for months the World Health Organization (WHO) is warning of the increase of infected in Europe. After a historic low of 5.273 cases in 2016, the number of cases has reached a fourfold increase by 2017 with more than 20,000 people affected and 35 deaths. And this year are already more than 34,000. Fifteen countries, including the Uk, with large-scale outbreaks, according to the WHO, Italy, Romania and Ukraine, are the territories with the highest incidence. In our country, labeled as ""free of measles,"" - ""the infections on the whole have come out through people who have been infected abroad"", argues the doctor, Amos Joseph Garcia Rojas, president of the Spanish Association of Vacunología-both epidemiologists as hospitals, which have enabled beds in anticipation of an increase in cases of measles, have been given the warning voice. There are already 218 cases between us. The rebound of the disease and the proliferation of travel and displacement, which increase the possibility of the ""arrival of measles cases imported,"" and the generation of sprouts: ""you have to be alert,"" says Garcia-Rojas, ""keep the 95% of the population vaccinated to break the chain of contagion."" The loss of respect to the disease has spread theories, nothing scientific question the importance of the vaccination. ""Here the movement antivacunas, unlike the united States and France, is marginal, it has nothing to do with the resurgence of measles,"" says Amos. But the Morbillivirus measles does not rest. The virus is transmitted through the air and attacks mostly children of age and adults between 25 and 40 years. ""In Spain it is difficult to lead to a situation of epidemic for the great coverage of vaccines, but don't let your guard down,"" says the microbiologist Ignacio López Goni, of the Faculty of Medicine of Navarre. Except in 2011, when there was the last large outbreak with 3.518 cases (30,000 in Europe), in Spain in the last few years there have been between 100 and 300 cases. ""A fork, let's say, acceptable"", adds Goni. After several visits to the hospital, a income and a few phone calls to the emergency services, Rocío died in the April 27, 2011 in his home, with his family and while his mother was still believed that the hospital could be saved. Because Carmen, despite the medical diagnosis and a judgment that endorses, is convinced that Dew did not die because of a ""simple"" measles, but of a meningitis is not diagnosed and treated wrong. ""You were not given more than Paracetamol"", she says between tears of pain and anger as they relive their last memory with their daughter living, this with the head resting on her legs, and raving from the fever. ""I just recognized to me."" In fact, She only agrees to tell the story of her daughter to ""not repeat"". Because Dew, regrets, it was a girl vitalist, ""full of plans"", that in two months he had thought about leaving your job of cleaning to tip over in the school of Nursing. That was the future that she herself had designed after working ""it was"" during the past few years and since he left the studies after completing the second year of High school. When he died on April 27, 2011, we had two days to celebrate his 24th birthday, and instead of a cake his mother had made an altar with photos and a message: ""Since you left I feel a pain so strong that no-one I can cure.""

"2035","Cut off from the world in the fight against measles, the islands of Samoa are trying to silence the ""anti-vaccine"" HEALTH - Shops closed, sea routes to cut... The archipelago of Samoa, in the South Pacific, has put in place a vaccination campaign is unprecedented to try to deal with a measles outbreak that has already killed 63 people, including 55 children. In the Face of the danger, authorities have arrested a militant anti-vaccine. The 200,000 inhabitants of the islands of Samoa were in quarantine this Friday 6 December for the second straight day, in order to carry out a massive vaccination campaign. The objective : to fight a measles outbreak that has already killed 63 people. In order not to forget anyone, the authorities of this archipelago in the south Pacific had ordered the closure of all the shops and services government non-essential, cut the binding inter-island by ferry, and asked to private vehicles do not move during these two days. The vaccination teams were then raked the entire area, going door-to-door. To facilitate the operation, the people who have not been vaccinated against measles and had been invited to display a flag or a red stuff in front of their home to help the medical teams to the spot. 4 357 cases of contamination recorded in the archipelago Since the beginning of the epidemic in mid-October, 63 people, including 55 children under four years of age, died in the archipelago. The children are also the majority among the 4.357 case of contamination identified, and twenty of them are currently hospitalized in a critical condition. Only 30% of the population was vaccinated before the beginning of the epidemic. The authorities consider that this figure rose to 55% thanks to a first vaccination campaign started 15 days ago, with children. The new campaign, extended to the whole population Thursday and Friday, is made possible thanks to the state of emergency declared last month. It is intended to ""bring this rate to over 90% and help overcome the epidemic,"" hope Sheldon Yett, the regional representative of Unicef in the Pacific. ""I had already seen campaigns to mobilize massive, but never across an entire country like that,"" he confided to AFP. ""The streets are empty. People will stay at home and waiting for the immunization campaign, the entire country is in the process of being immunized"". It is however necessary to wait 10 to 14 days for it to be effective. The anti-vaccine accused of the critical situation The world health Organization (WHO) blames campaigns anti-vaccines have led to a drop in immunization coverage in Samoa before the epidemic. Last year, the death of two babies after a vaccine against measles was panic-stricken parents and disrupted the national immunization programme for a period of 8 months. An investigation had exonerated the vaccine : it was not in question but had been administered mixed with anaesthetic agents instead of water. Despite the evidence of the medical error, the anti-vaccine jumped on the opportunity to spread their message. ""We had children who died because brought to the hospital too late, as a last resort. We have discovered that the anti-vaccine had been sent to their families, who were then kept these children at home"", regretted the minister of Communication of the archipelago, Afamasaga Rico Tupai. ""The anti-vaccine, unfortunately, slow us down"", he said on television new zealand's TVNZ. Speaking then directly to them, the minister said : ""Do not put yourself in the way, don't contribute to the number of deaths"". Since Thursday, the authorities in Samoa have therefore warned that they would not stand for any misinformation on the part of these activist movements. ""We advise the police to act when we do not have the choice"", he assumed the attorney general of the archipelago in a press release. The government has announced the arrest of a militant known and was particularly virulent regarding vaccines, Edwin Tamasese. On social networks, he had written about the massive campaign of vaccination : ""enjoy your orgy of murder"". The social networks have their share of responsibility ? Sheldon Yett, has called social networks ""the responsibility"" to crack down on the proliferation of these messages of anti-vaccine. According to him, these campaigns, activists are often carried out since rich countries like the United States or Australia, by individuals having no awareness of their impact on poor countries. ""It is devastating, it can condemn to death a child here where the vaccination rate is low and is compounded by other health problems,"" says the regional representative of Unicef in the Pacific. Last week, a blogger has compared since Australia compulsory vaccination for Samoa at the practices of the nazis, as others have advocated treatment of measles with alternative remedies efficacy unproven. If the priority for Samoa is to bring the epidemic under control, ""a discussion will be needed with the internet giants such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram are used by the anti-vaccine,"" said Mr. Yett . ""It is very clear that they need to exercise corporate responsibility to intervene and ensure that the populations, particularly the most vulnerable, receive adequate information, which will help to keep the children alive"".

The 233 people who suffered between 1 January and 21 July, the date until which there are data, were imported cases or infections caused by these, and the transmission is interrupted with ease, according to the Ministry of Health. ""That means they were not native and that are produced for example when traveling,"" says Ruth Figueroa, president of the Study Group of Vaccines (Gevac) of the Spanish Society of Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology (SEIMC). The doctor noted that ""the vaccination coverage in Spain is quite high"", but advises, ""don't let your guard down"", in a global context in which the situation itself is far from positive. The WHO has alerted that in the first seven months of 2019 were reported in the world 364.808 cases, three times more than the 129.239 the same period of 2018, and in the first half, for the first time since the start of the verification process in 2012, four european countries –United Kingdom, Albania, Czech Republic and Greece– have lost the status of having eradicated the virus. In these circumstances, and faced with a disease as ""highly contagious"", that can leave serious sequelae, such as ""blindness, deafness or other diseases such as meningitis, health authorities have made a special appeal to the adult population, urging vaccination. Ruth Figueroa Cerón, president of the Group of Study Vaccine (Gevac) from the SEIMC (Spanish Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases). Who throws the warning? The recommendation is extensible to those between 40 and 50 years, that is to say, to those born from 1970, and mainly up to 1980, which did not receive two doses of the vaccine or have not passed the disease. Why is that generation? ""The vast majority of those born before 1970 have passed the measles because at that time there was a high circulation of the virus. From there he started to get the vaccine, and decreased, but until 1980 was not entered in the vaccination calendar of routine,"" says dr. Figueroa. Many, therefore, cannot be vaccinated but also suffered from the infection because the virus was on the decline. How do you know if you are vaccinated? There are those who do not remember if he was vaccinated or if you have had the measles. In those cases, there are two ways to proceed: with the booster or with a study of the serology, analysis of the level of antibodies through a blood sample. ""Once you have received the vaccine, or after the disease, those antibodies are always in our body. With that study you know if you have had contact with the virus,"" says the specialist. What is the vaccination schedule of measles? The first dose is gets to the twelve months and the I remember, ""important to have a full vaccination"", between three and four years. That vaccine is called mmr, and it includes the rubella and mumps. In susceptible patients outside those ages, should be given two doses with an interval of at least a month. What will be the overall timetable? Varies according to age: children, adolescents, adults, and older adults. To this is added a special section for pregnant women whose vaccination involves the child, because the fetus receives antibodies from the mother."" These guidelines are constantly updated and in the case of the made for this year set up a ""common calendar throughout all of life"", the first thing that was achieved among all communities, a basic agenda at the state level. This can be consulted on the website of the ministry or you can use the primary care physician to ask for information. Is there a social conscience?

Measles is dangerous for children With information of the Robert Koch Institute indicate that in the first half of this year in Germany were registered 387 cases of measles. This is much less than in the same period last year (nearly 800). The measles virus is very easy to carry. Initially, the disease resembles the flu, and then manifests itself in a rash. Measles weakens the immune system. In extreme cases can lead to death. The disease is especially dangerous for children third year of life and adults.

Where did the passengers who went down with their decks is not known. Who talked to whom kichnęli who kiss – not. But we know that there could have contact with measles. In the last days in Toronto and area (GTA) has confirmed three new cases of measles. Media published a list of flights, where passengers could face the virus. One case was recorded in an elementary school in one of the richest areas. It was not, however, messages are neither sex nor age of the sick person. It is not known what ill student or teacher. But new cases appear not only in Canada's largest metropolis. Extended to the East, towards Europe, Nova Scotia recorded in February three new cases this year to 13, for the first time in 9 years. Similar outbreaks occur throughout North America. But not only the measles is back. Now, before Easter, Toronto is struggling just with the pig is the greatest increase in incidence for a quarter century. The Department of health (Toronto Public Health) said that from January it was recorded 68 cases of the disease. For comparison, still, because 34, it was established in 1995. The pig starts to hurt, adults also in other provinces. Not required, because vaccination is so common, and the Teacher hands me a letter: – we Noticed that your son is missing one of the vaccinations. Until the child is vaccinated, there better not be. Preparing to leave, szczepiliśmy children by canadian standards, but between the Polish and the canadian immunization schedule, there are still some differences. Immediately upon arrival we got a city hall file with information about vaccinations. In the province of Ontario, whose capital is Toronto, public health insurance (OHIP) can be covered only after three months of stay. But the government finances the vaccination of those who did not provide. Themselves bear the costs of translating the documents brought from abroad. It literally publico. Vaccinations in Canada recommended get. But not mandatory. According to the Review of the Canadian Medical Association (CMAJ), each province has its own agenda. In Ontario, najludniejszej of them, the tougher are the largest and maps uodpornień requires from nursery (although to this rule there are exceptions). In other provinces the authorities, as a rule, depart from compliance with a compulsory uodpornień because Canadians are so vaccinated. For example, the level wyszczepienia against measles reaches about 90%. But doctors complain that it is too short. Only when not less than 95%. the population took the vaccine, it is possible to speak about sufficient protection. But in Canada, not enough parents who shy away from vaccinations. Theoretically, immunization can be waived in two cases. First, as in Poland, the vaccination could delay the doctor (and the nurse) because of the health status of the child. You must attach medical documentation that is uzasadni. Second, in accordance with the law, parents can file before a notary or judge the statement that we are distracted from vaccinations due to religious beliefs or philosophical. Then such a child may still be stored in the school or kindergarten. Theoretically arbitrary, but practically on the same principle as other children. However, in the case of incidence rate nieszczepione child is suspended may not come into contact with other children, to them not to expose. Those who were not vaccinated because of contraindications. The same rule applies to adults who may be subjected to quarantine and isolation, for example, from the environment into work. So much theory. As a result, in Canada, only around 2 percent. children do not remain vaccinated (for medical reasons and objections of parents). But there are schools where half of students do not have the current map uodpornień. Where is the difference? Ontario explain this negligence of parents and send reminders about following vaccination. In Toronto in the spring was sent more than 45 thousand. such letters, and in the capital Ottawa have closed in the rights of the student more than 7 thousand. children. The canadian authorities are not forced to vaccinate, but hot with them protect. Before parents depart from vaccinating their children, based on this kind of ""sentence of conscience"" should be required to undergo training organized by the local highway health. The confrontation with the scientific reasonable facts sometimes encourages parents to vaccinate their children. But not all. Antyszczepionkowe harvest Canada, the movement is gaining momentum antyszczepionkowców that oppose universal vaccination, and to share their beliefs are successfully social network. The effect will not keep itself waiting long. Practitioners over the years has not met with cases of measles and mumps, the students knew them only from books. But from some 5 years uczulani not to overlook new diseases. ""This reflects a broader trend in Western societies where people choose that they will not vaccinate themselves or their children.

"5573","PROTECT all children and in particular those most vulnerable, such as those suffering from leukemia who have an immune system that is particularly depressed. Commenting on the case of a child of six years died at Monza because of complications due to measles, the Italian specialists gathered in Madrid for the 22nd international Congress of hematology to stress the importance of the immunity of the flock. In a few words, it is a phenomenon which reached a level dinella population, typically 95%, even those who have not been vaccinated enjoy the benefits of the immunization, in that it is surrounded by vaccinated people and that, therefore, do not transmit the disease. In this way it is avoided that levengano propagated.That of the child of Monza is considered a tragedy avoidable. The rate of healing from acute lymphoblastic leukemia, in fact, is 85%. Therefore, for many of them there really is the prospect of being saved and dying of measles is inconceivable. ""The leukemic children, explains, professor of Hematology at the University of Milan and Director of the Operative Unit of Hematology of the Policlinico of Milan - have an immune system that is very depressed and are unable to respond to the infections the most trivial. That's why if one of these children is infected with measles may die. This case demonstrates once again the importance of the immunity of the flock, and confirms the importance of vaccinating all children, are not the most vulnerable ones"". Vaccines, nose pads: ""In Italy, a million children exposed to and at risk of contagion from the no vax"" in the playback.... In short, to get to the vaccination of more than 95% of the children is the only way to protect especially those who are weaker. ""I realize that the compulsory nature of the vaccine can elicit a thrill but when you have to protect an entire population, must be binding on a party if this may represent a risk to others,"" says Cortelezzi. Agree, Mario Boccadoro, director, Division of Hematology, City of Health and Science of Turin, which reiterates: ""This sad affair shows once again that infectious diseases are to be eradicated on the entire population and not on individual patients.""But it makes sense to vaccinate those who have a weak immune system, or it is useless? “These patients are so weak,” says Boccadoro“, which is probably the child of Monza, even if he had been vaccinated, having the immune system low, it would not be protected against measles or other infections, but the important thing is that these subjects are not infectious agents in the other that are about why this would be, for them, a risk sure infection”. But according to haematologists is still important to vaccinate the most vulnerable: “As experts in myeloma,” clarifies Michele Cable, director, Institute of Hematology and Medical Oncology ‘L. A. Seragnoli’, University degli Studi-Policlinico S. Orsola-Malpighi Bologna “we can say that different scientific evidence to show that the vaccine even in immunocompromised individuals can have an important role because it makes their immune system a little more effective”.Schools, buses, subways, hotels, doctors and hospitals: they are all places of the community in which the risk of infection increases exponentially: “Just think of the influence” exemplifies Cortelezzi, “who spends a lot of time in the asylum, in the hotel, in public transportation, or attend to medical studies has wide contacts and therefore greatly increases the risk that people nearby have an infectious disease that weaker parties can contract,” he concludes, Cortelezzi. In short, the immune system of a child suffering from leukemia is so fragile, that regardless of the fact that it has been vaccinated or not, can't afford to meet on his way an infection such as measles.",953,"italy"

The researchers made the gene sequence of the antibody of 26 children, before as well as about 40-50 days after contracting the infection, and they discovered that certain immune cells that had accumulated against other diseases, and which were present prior to the infection with measles, had disappeared from the blood of children.

Ines Sampaio has become the first case of deadly of the worrying outbreak, which ended with the most cases so far this year than in the last decade in Portugal. In addition, he was 23 years old that is not censaba a death with this source. And now the state of health of the small Beatrix is a matter of concern to the citizens lusos surprised that this disease almost eradicated come back with such virulence. The child was not vaccinated, and contagion occurred by the contact with his sister before would have to be moved to the hospital Dona Estefânia in Lisbon, where he could not overcome the complications caused, not by measles, but by the other ailment that affected him: bilateral pneumonia. In turn, Agnes contracted the disease from a baby of 13 months that he was in an adjoining room in the hospital of Cascais and could not receive treatment in containment for having developed a high fever. The mother of the two minors, who still have another, said the team of doctors at the centre as responsible for that Agnes no longer listed among the living, but what is certain is that none of your daughters has had access to vaccination, among other reasons because she opposed it. In effect, this woman integrates the collective of the ""antivacunas"", that refuses to resort to this measure and far more than is decreed by law. Equally, in favour of homeopathy. Before the alarm caused among the inhabitants of its residents, the minister of Health, Adalberto Campos, made his second call to calm in a few days. His first intervention occurred upon confirmation of the death of Ines Sampaio, and now asks ""trust in the public Health sector"" to mitigate the effects of the epidemic.

This is an outbreak that affects several european countries (Romania takes the brunt, with more than 4,700 cases currently registered), but the stupor spreads to the other side of the border while the Ministry of Health strives to contain the criticism. According to the health authorities in Lisbon, ""there are no reasons to fear an epidemic of great magnitude."" Yes, vaccinations are recommended at the youngest, with two stages of development: one to 12 months of life and another to five years. For its part, the european commissioner for Health and Food Safety, Vytenis Andriukatis, he declares himself a supporter of that ""certain vaccines, like measles, should be mandatory"", he told a Portuguese newspaper. According to his words, ""the vaccines work, and to say otherwise can only be described as irresponsible."" The death of Ines Sampaio has become a symbol of the struggle that followed a number of associations to curb the so-called 'antivacunas', a front that unfolds in Lisbon, Porto, Braga and Coimbra with the premise of not make case of the recommendations of the National Immunization Program. In fact, the mother of the young man who died, nor had it consented to put him antidotes against other diseases. Since we recorded the death, the perception of the people has varied considerably. Both the persistent calls for caution were only taken seriously when Portugal had a breakfast a few days ago with the news of your loss. The case is that amount to about 95,000 of the non-vaccinated children throughout the Portuguese territory, a figure which the socialist Government of António Costa qualifies as ""too high"". Precisely, this Tuesday, April 25, met 43 years of the Carnation Revolution, a historical event of vital importance in regard to this matter, in view of that only when it left behind the dictatorship could begin to be established free vaccination, with a second period of regulation declared to be from 1990, because there were 30 deaths due to this same circumstance. Now the voices to start a third phase, with the aim of leading to the option outlined by Andriukatis: the mandatory nature of the vaccine. Even the awareness can go beyond because they are in study number of formulations for a future legal text reflects the possible penalties for parents who ignore.

""Each new person hit by measles in Europe reminds us that children and adults not vaccinated, regardless of where they live, remain at risk of contracting the disease and spreading it to others who might not be able to be vaccinated. More than 20,000 cases of measles and 35 lives lost only in 2017 are a tragedy that we simply cannot accept,"" says dr Zsuzsanna Jakab, Who regional director for Europe. ""The elimination of measles and rubella is a priority objective to which all european countries have committed themselves firmly to adhere to and a milestone for the achievement of sustainable development goals related to health,"" explained dr. Jakab. ""This setback in the short term can not stop in our efforts to eradicate these diseases once and for all"". ""At the end of 2016,"" writes the agency of the Un, ""42 of the 53 countries in the region have interrupted the endemic transmission of measles. However, the outbreaks will continue to occur until all of the children and adults that are susceptible will be protected"".",939,"italy"
"21100","First, you should know that throughout 2018. Poland was, according to the NIZP-PZH – 339 cases of measles, and in 2017 – 63. – I'm not surprised by these data. We are dealing with a condition przedepidemicznym. The virus attacked in the IV quarter of 2018., that foreshadowed the rapid growth in the number of diseases. Currently, should reckon with the fact that in 2019. will be in the 3-5 thousand cases of measles. According to statistics, one person out of thousands of cases of measles, die, – says Dr. Grzesiowski Paul from the School of Public Health CMKP. The growth trend is observed worldwide. It is not surprising that the world Health Organization (who) has sounded the alarm. Filed this month in the first quarter of this year from 170 countries have been reported including about 112 thousand cases of measles. In the first quarter last year was 28 thousand. ""Preliminary data from around the world show that we are dealing with the growing number of diseases in the amount of 300 percent. during the first three months of 2019, compared to the first three months of 2018,” notes the who. The organization noted that although the data is incomplete, then clearly indicate a continuing trend of increasing incidence. ""Many countries in a state of przedepidemicznym, and in all regions of the world there has been a significant increase in incidence reports. Who in a message on his page he adds that in some countries the situation is dramatic: in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Madagascar, Burma, the Philippines, Sudan, Thailand and Ukraine, and reports many cases of death from measles, especially among children. In 2017 due to measles in the world died around 110K. people. The who notes that he has until a reliable number of deaths from the disease in 2018. The organization notes that in recent months a significant increase in the incidence of measles is also observed in those countries that can boast a relatively high level of implantation of its population against measles (including in the United States and Israel), and adds that in such countries suffer primarily niezaszczepieni. Recalls that the protection of the environment (i.e., security that cannot be zaszczepieni or whose vaccinations due to health status is not effective) provides vaccination against measles 95%. population. As a very contagious is measles? Measles is an acute viral contagious disease. Has an unusual potential zaraźliwości. Spread through the air and kropelkową and through direct contact with nasopharyngeal secretions of a sick person. The literature indicates that the risk of getting sick after contact with sick with measles, a person vulnerable to infection (for example, nieszczepionej or receiving immunosuppressive drugs) reaches 90-95%. For comparison, in the case of pigs it is a little over 30 percent, even if the patient in the pig lives in the house with relatives nieszczepionymi. Dr. Ernest Kuchar, a pediatrician from Warsaw Medical University, cites the example of a measles outbreak in Wroclaw: female chorująca on vacation she was riding alone in the Elevator at the hospital with several other people. These people soon fell ill, and the pathogen is transferred to the next patients. The result of one trip in the Elevator at the hospital broke the nidus. Dr. Grzesiowski draws attention to two facts: Currently in Poland 80 percent. patients adults who were not zaszczepieni and not sick with measles. It is not the aliens that originally prevailed in the group of patients in Poland, currently the majority of patients-Poles. Universal vaccination against measles, introduced in the mid 70-ies. Dr. Grzesiowski advised that at the present time to evaluate its durability. Dictates that if you're not sure that you were sick/you measles and not sure what you took reported two doses of vaccine against the disease, contact your doctor for advice. Symptoms of measles: fever, coughing, rash plamisto-papular, conjunctivitis, photophobia coryza. Quite often complications from measles. It is easier, for example, otitis media and infections of the gastrointestinal tract, and more serious, in particular, pneumonia, encephalitis and meningitis. Who is at risk of measles: young children who have not been vaccinated, Adults who are not sick and measles were not against it wrong zaszczepieni, People taking immunosuppressive drugs.

According to the regional agency of health (ARS), only one of the sick children were correctly vaccinated with two doses. Nearly three-quarters were not at all, while a quarter of them had received only a single dose of vaccine. Three students have also had to be hospitalized. And one of the children was on holiday with his parents in Costa Rica when the disease is declared, a country where no cases of measles had been recorded since 2014. ""The measles vaccination is only mandatory for children born after 1 January 2018 and it is especially not the responsibility of the school,"" recalled Marion Ginoux-Artigues, delegated to parents of students of Sainte-Anne.

Of the deaths due to measles occurred at a time when the number of cases has increased globally, with outbreaks in every region. The majority of these deaths occurred among children under five years of age. Babies, toddlers, and young children are at a greater risk of infection due to measles, with complications including pneumonia and encephalitis (swelling/inflammation of the brain), and also to the inability of the long-life, permanent brain damage, blindness or hearing loss. The studies that have been published recently, show that the contraction of the virus of the measles, you can have the most impact on the long-term health effects, damage to the memory of the immune system for months or even years after the infection. This 'super immune system' leaves the survivor vulnerable to other potentially fatal diseases, such as flu or diarrhoea are severe. ""The fact that a child dies of a preventable disease by immunization, such as measles, which is, frankly, an outrage, and a collective failure to protect the most vulnerable children in the world,"" said Tedros Adhanom Ghebreysus, the director-general of the world health organization. If you want to save lives, we need to make sure that everyone can benefit from the vaccine - what it means to invest in immunization, and health care quality as a right for all,"" he said. There is a measles vaccine, but vaccination rates around the world have stagnated for nearly a decade. The world health organization and UNICEF estimate that in the past year, 86% of the children were given a global view of the first dose of the vaccine through routine immunization in your home country, but less than 70% had received the second recommended dose. All over the world, the coverage of vaccination against measles is not adequate to prevent flare-ups. The WHO believes that the 95% vaccination coverage with two doses of a measles containing vaccine is required within each country and across all communities, in order to protect people from the disease. It is estimated that the total number of cases and deaths from around the world and the region, the report notes that the worst of the impact of measles have occurred in sub-Saharan Africa, where many children go without immunization on a sustained basis. In the year 2018, the countries most affected with the highest incidence rate of the disease-were from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Liberia, Madagascar, Somalia, and Ukraine. These five countries accounted for almost half of all cases of measles in the world. ""We are a safe and effective vaccine for polio more than 50 years ago,"" said Robert Linkins, chief of the department of disease control, and surveillance of diseases preventable by vaccines, the CDC and the president's Initiative against Measles and Rubella. ""These estimates are a reminder that all children, everywhere, need and deserve - this is a vaccine that can save lives. We need to change this trend and to stop these preventable deaths by improving access to and coverage of vaccination against measles,"" he said. Although the largest effects have been reported in the world's poorest countries, some rich countries also have to fight outbreaks of measles, with the ramifications of that are significant to the health of the people.

When she had finally found him, could not understand the excitement at all. You must be mistaken, argued the man. He could not possibly have the measles, because he had made the disease and thus immune to be. But McGraw, employees of the medical emergency service in Oakland County, was sure: ""There is only one disease in question, and you have,"" he said to the man. ""He was very emotional,"" says McGraw the Situation to the ""Washington Post"". ""I could tell by the expression on his face that he was devastated. He counted in his head by how many people he had contact with."" Incorrect Diagnosis At 13. March was confirmed by a blood test that the man was actually sick with the measles. Without knowing it, he had brought the virus to Michigan. Physicians speak in this case of a ""patient zero"". The authorities have not released the man's name to protect his personality rights. It is clear that he was driven in March from New York to Detroit. Probably he had put on it in the New York city borough of Brooklyn requested. An analysis of the pathogen revealed that it was in two cities of the same virus strain. In New York, the grass, the measles quantize already, for parts of Brooklyn in a state of emergency and a mandatory vaccination is imposed. As the man was on the way to Detroit, he already had a fever and cough. A doctor had misdiagnosed as Bronchitis. He had never seen measles in a patient. Even as the man on the go called and told that he had a rash, did not the physicians to the correct diagnosis, but thought the rash for an allergic reaction. It was only when he hung up, and about the symptoms was, came to him the suspicion that the man could suffer from measles. He informed the competent Health Department and the phone gave the number of a man. This, however, had apparently problems with his phone and was unable to reach. The medical emergency service and McGraw came into the game, and the search for Patient zero. Highly contagious employees of the competent public health authorities reconstructed, with whom Patient zero had contact. They came on about 30 places where he had stopped within a week. At least 39 people were infected. Measles three to five days before rash appears contagious. Then Ill spread for about four days the Virus. Two hours after an infected Patient has left a specific location, are the measles virus in the air detectable. An Infected comes with a human contact that is not protected by vaccination or previous illness, becomes ill with a probability of 95 percent.

Until the beginning of April, more than 2,100 doses of the vaccine were distributed in the metro Detroit area. According to the current state of knowledge, the measles outbreak could be contained, thereby, at least in Michigan. Number of measles cases quadrupled in The case of the USA shows so quickly measles can spread and how ignorance of the health risk. Not all who are not immunized against measles, oppose vaccinations per se. Many simply do not know that two injections are necessary. Many of the Infected individuals in Michigan were adults that were convinced, to have the measles already had or to be adequately vaccinated against it. According to estimates by the world health organization (WHO), with only 67 percent of people in the world two vaccinations. The measles eradicate, should be vaccinated 95 percent, twice against the pathogen. Actually, the world community wanted to achieve this goal already in 2015. Recently, there had been worldwide, but increased measles outbreaks. This year alone, the Numbers have quadrupled according to the WHO, compared to the prior-year period. A measles infection weakens the immune system immensely, more infections are so common. A dreaded result of an inflammation of the brain, the measles encephalitis which can be fatal or with permanent damage is.

In march 2013, when a teenager returns to New York for his holiday, he did not doubt that it was going to cause the biggest outbreak of measles that the city has seen in 20 years. In total, 58 people have been infected in the town on the East coast of the United States between march and June 2013, according to a study published this July 30, 2018 in the journal JAMA Pediatrics. A team of researchers at the Department of health of the city is interested in the economic cost that has produced this epidemic. Thanks to good vaccination coverage, the disease had disappeared from the United States in 2000. How has she thus been reintroduced into the country? The lack of denials and delays of voluntary vaccination in recent years, according to the researchers. In fact, the young man was not vaccinated when he was infected in London, where he was studying. A native of New York, it is when he returns to his family as the first cases of infection occur. None of the family members was vaccinated. In France, 11 vaccines are mandatory from 1 January 2018, including the measles vaccine. But in the United States, most States allow the freedom to the parents to vaccinate or not their children. ""READ ALSO - ARE there any mandatory vaccinations that are unnecessary? A case of pneumonia and a miscarriage The epidemic then spread in the places crossed by the infected persons, measles is transmitted by droplets of saliva suspended in the air. In total, the researchers identified 3351 people who have been in contact with the virus, among which 58 people contracted measles. 45 were aged at least 12 months, but were not vaccinated because of a refusal on the part of their parents. Some have developed complications, including one case of pneumonia, a miscarriage, and a transmission from a mother to her newborn. Finally, 12 other patients were too young to receive the vaccine. ""Most of the cases occur in the United States involve people who are not vaccinated,"" stresses Jason L. Schwartz, professor of public health at the University of Yale (United States), who was not involved in the study. ""Given the very contagious nature of the virus, even a single case of measles can cause a number of cases,"" he says. ""READ ALSO - Three French out of four are in favour of vaccination ""A high rate of vaccination is of public utility"" The epidemic has mobilized 87 health professionals, who have spent a total of 10.054 hours trying to master it. By adding their salary to the price of the medical equipment used, the total cost of this epidemic is approximately us $ 400,000 (350,000 euros), argue the researchers. ""In addition to the health risks that non-vaccinated individuals pose to themselves and to others, especially young people, the economic burden of the epidemics is another result of dismal performance of these individual decisions to reject the recommendations for vaccination,"" said Jason L. Schwartz. A high rate of vaccination is in the public interest. In fact, it reduces the likelihood that a person, vaccinated or not, encounter a disease preventable by the vaccine. ""Those who have voluntarily chosen not to be vaccinated are free riders, taking advantage of this public effort not contributing to it"", he laments. Measles is a highly contagious viral disease that affects mostly children and young adults. During the first 2-3 days, the symptoms resemble those of flu: cough, runny nose, and fever. Then, a rash of red patches on the skin appears, first on the face and then all over the body. Its complications include diarrhea, middle ear infections, but also pneumonia or encephalitis, a brain inflammation that can be fatal. The combined vaccine MMR can avoid it, as well as mumps and rubella. The first injection is made between 12 and 15 months and a second at 4-6 years of age. In France, a measles epidemic began in November 2017. Nearly a thousand cases have been reported and among them, three deaths.

The alert also concerns Europe and the Usa. “Millions of people globally at risk, warns world health Organisation – and in the first six months of 2019, the cases reported are the highest since 2006, with outbreaks that put a strain on the health systems and cause serious diseases, disabilities and deaths in many parts of the world.” According to the latest recommendations of the Who, “all subjects over the 6 months of life should be protected from measles before travel to an area where circulates the virus”. Anyone who is not sure of the state of vaccination “should consult with their doctor. Visitors – concludes the world health organization – must be vaccinated at least 15 days prior to departure”. The Who urges all governments to ensure the immunisation against measles. This year, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Madagascar, and Ukraine reported the largest number of cases but the cases have declined significantly in Madagascar in the last few months as a result of vaccination campaigns and emergency at the national level, thus demonstrating the effectiveness of vaccination in the put an end to the epidemics and protect the health. Large outbreaks are ongoing in Angola, Cameroon, Chad, Kazakhstan, Nigeria, the Philippines, South Sudan, Sudan, and Thailand. According to the Who, “the reasons why people do not vaccinate vary widely: the lack of access to quality health services, the presence of conflicts and wars”. Not only that, there is also misinformation and lack of awareness of the need to get vaccinated, which play a fundamental role. In several Countries, the measles is spreading among the oldest of the children, young people and adults who in the past were not vaccinated.”",925,"italy"

According to the daily, The New Republic, she had contracted in the hospital, where she had led her father to the emergency room. ""READ ALSO - measles: Measles what are the symptoms? Frail who do not receive the vaccine, The two patients were immunocompromised, that is to say that their immune system was too low to enable them to receive the vaccine. An immunosuppressed person may have been vaccinated in the past. But once the immune system weakens, the vaccine becomes ineffective and unable to renew. But without a vaccine, the measles virus circulates easily. A single infected person can infect 15 to 20 people just by coughing or sneezing. The protection of these fragile persons, therefore, is based solely on the immunization collective that gives the vaccine. If 95% of the population receives two doses, the virus ceases to circulate, according to estimates from the world health Organization.

Last year, the disease has killed 140,000 people across the globe, according to a WHO report published on Thursday. The numbers don't surprise Dr. Charlotte Martin, infectiologist at hôpital Saint-Pierre. ""In Belgium, for example, it is already for 2017, we see a resurgence of measles. Moreover, the roofing vaccine have not exactly tended to improve in recent years, neither in the world nor in Europe, nor in Belgium."" Measles should not be regarded as a mild disease, she insists, ""nor for any small children that are going to be complications, type of dehydration, pneumonia, but also encephalitis, therefore, infection of the brain, with possible sequelae of serious, or for adults. Measles can be very serious in adults also, and that, we tend to forget it"", she adds. A serious disease that is transmitted in the air. If you find yourself in a room with someone that is contaminated, the effect is immediate. But not that. ""You can also be contaminated by someone who is not even in the room, for example in the waiting room of a doctor. You may infect on average between 15 and 20 people when someone is sick."" The problem of the second dose but There is a vaccine on the market for many years. ""It is available for over 50 years and I think that when it arrived, it was a real relief for the world's population, which saw a lot of children — at the time, it was a disease only child die of the measles. There is a proverb in India that says : count your children after the passage of the measles. This vaccine is very effective, however it requires two doses to be fully effective. That is to say that after a dose, it is partially protected, you can still make a measles attenuated or even a real measles, and there will still be contagious. It is important, therefore, to have received two doses in his life to be well protected. Measles is a virus, so there are no treatment. There is no effective antiviral for measles, and of course, as for all viruses, antibiotics are useless."" ""Negligence and a lack of information of parents"" Its presence in Belgium is due to the fact that the vaccination is in decline. The first dose is given to toddlers at around 11-12 months, but the vigilance of the part of the parents decreases for the second dose. ""We don't have a lot of problems to the vaccine coverage of the first dose, which is around 95% in Belgium, this is the cover recommended to prevent the circulation of the virus. But as I said, it takes two doses, and in Belgium, historically, the second dose is around 11-12 years old, when the children are a little less in the circuit medical. They don't really to the pediatrician, or the ONE they do not go in the gp and they are rather in the circuit of the medical school, where sometimes the vaccination is not quite... you can be absent on the day of vaccination, one can be sent to the gp for the vaccination because the medicine school can not handle, etc"", But it is a lack of information of parents, and neglect, "" she says. ""I think people have forgotten a little what it was like measles, have forgotten that it can be very serious and have forgotten that this is not only for small african children, but also eventually to teenagers or adults in europe, with unfortunately consequences which may be serious."" When people seek information, they often fall on unreliable sites, or even worse, sites which are anti-vaccines, But how can we make this vaccination is more widespread ? The lowering of the age of the second dose that should be done at the age of 11 ? ""The supreme Council of health has this year made recommendations for lowering the age of the second dose, for the moment, at around eight or nine years. It is therefore hoped that these recommendations will be implemented, because I think it may increase the immunization coverage of the second dose in Belgium. This, but also, I think, a better information to the public. And in this sense, in this purpose, there is a very good website that was created a few months ago and that is called immunization-info.be, this in order to also take the level up information, at the Internet level. When people seek information, they often fall on unreliable sites, or even worse, sites which are anti-vaccine, and it was thought that it was important to be able to well inform the people.""

The recent outbreak of measles, which includes a number of european countries have caused in the Uk are at least 21 confirmed cases of measles. By 2016, Portugal) received a request from the World Health Organization (WHO), an order that the rule regulated in the country, as being free of measles, because one of the very few cases reported in the last few years had been borrowed from other countries. The vaccination is free of charge to the children, in 1974, and, above all, with the introduction of a second dose of the vaccine, in 1990, the measles, it turned out to be almost a disease that has been forgotten or invisible. However, between 1987 and 1989, had been reported in Portugal and 12 million cases, accounting for 30 deaths. Measles is a viral infection most contagious diseases, and, in spite of usually being benign, can be very serious and even cause death, warns the Directorate-general for Health (DGS). The disease is manifested by the appearance of small white spots on the oral mucous membrane, about an hour or two before you experience a skin rash, that initially appear on the face. According to the norm of the clinic, to be issued by DGS in the last week, and the complications of measles can include otitis media, pneumonia, convulsions, febrile and swelling of the brain. Adults tend to have more severe disease than young children, and patients are immune-compromised may not have spots on their skin. Measles, which is vaccine-preventable, it is transmitted over the air and by direct contact with secretions from the nose or throat of infected persons. With an incubation period that can range from seven to 21 days, the transmission provides four days before and four days after the emergence of the rash (a skin rash). Consider this if you are already protected against measles, people who have had the disease, or who have two doses of the vaccine, in the case of children aged less than 18 years of age, and one dose when it comes to adults. Vaccination is the primary measure for the prevention of measles, which by being free of charge and is included in the National Program of Vaccination (PNV). All children should be vaccinated at 12 months of age and repeat vaccination at the age of five. ""You are cautioned that, as to the need for parents to vaccinate their children without a second thought, once the vaccine is available in the country,"" he said of the DGS in a statement today, issued a warning that it has often been said that on an ongoing basis. The vaccination will be held for measles in the Uk was initiated in 1973, with a vaccination campaign for children between the ages of one and four years, which was in force until 1977.

Despite the data of these last few weeks are far from what you record in Sicily, and therefore there is a situation of the epidemic, surely we're well beyond the normal administration. But what can be the reasons for this resurgence of the virus? Maria Triassi, director of the department of public Health of Federico II and co-ordinator of the regional Commission on vaccines, believes that the increase in infections among adults is an effect related to the increase of coverage among the very young. ""When there is a mass vaccination among children – says - increases the age of the infection, because the virus is able to attack only those who are not vaccinated. Clearly healthcare workers are those who run the greatest risks. In cases like these it would be good to use a vaccine strategy even among those who are not immune"". In the case of measles, it proceeds with two injections within a month of one another. The reason why it is good to take into consideration the vaccination too late-is that the measles in adults can have complications-series. ""Most of the time concludes, Triassi – you can have an evolution that goes in the direction of a bronchopneumonia, in rare cases, encephalitis"". In the meantime, in order not to miss anything, that measles is not the only alarm to be a cause for concern.

How is it so?

A unique before-and-after. ""Usually, after that short video, there is a great calm. Often, medical doctors, then there is no question,"" said the doctor. The Video depicts the child prior to the illness – a happy, active, all that's needed.

""And there's nothing you can do,"" the quiet adds to the infektologe. Measles of the victory march of the world will continue and the situation is becoming critical, said the doctor. Measles is a highly contagious, acute, viral infectious disease, which is spread in air droplets, as well as the direct contact route. There are many complications that can be fatal. Measles is not a therapy – if the fall ill, to influence the disease course in any way it is no longer possible, due to the virus in the medicines are not. After a measles outbreak in Latvia in 2014. and, in 2018. in the year to us at the moment relative to the moment of silence. Last year, there were 25 saslimušie this one, but atslabumam is not in the main. ""A neighbour of Lithuania, only in this year alone is an 800-case basis. For years, we lived with an indicator of 0, and such numbers!"" explained the infektologe. One of the saslimušais to infect 18 others nevakcinetos. Unfortunately, increasing the proportion of people who believe that it may be a self-centered way to live on other people's money. The other vakcinejas, and the forming of collective immunity, but I will for their children – no! The outbreak is coming from the European union, and they are not in any of the other svešie and bad that we bring back measles from contact where. No. This time around, we can blame only yourself!"" repeats the doctor Zavadska. The number of reported cases has increased, for example, in Italy, in France, in Germany, the high in the developing countries, where vaccination against measles has been in progress for the last century, back in the years to come. They are also popular travel destinations. ""We will continue to feel Endru Veikfilda the 90's. the end of the year, published a bogus study in question. In the present study were totally incorrect, unfounded evidence of measles, rubella and mumps combined vaccine causes autism. 2010. in Veikfildu has been taken out of medicine, and he is deprived of any right to practise as a medical practitioner, and his ieseta the seed is still in force. Today, each of the on your computer's keyboard feels great. Iegugle, palasa, and feeling like an expert. So easy to do neparbauditai information and to disseminate it further."" In latvia, measles vaccinations are carried out from 1968. of the year. Of the outbreak can be prevented, if the received at least 95-96 percent of the population of the state. This balance is fragile. In lithuania, which is currently experiencing a measles outbreak, the vaccination in a number of regions had drifted up to 92-93 per cent, and the damage had been done. Followed by hundreds of new cases. Flew to relax in a Great role to play here in our travel habits. If you're on an airplane with a sick person, who is still unaware, nevakcinetajiem actually have a chance. ""Latvia's experience shows that both the first and the second uzliesmojuma it was in the country. On board is circulating the same air. If the cabin sits in a measles patient – it will be enough. For example, the family returns from Paris and Disneyland by plane, and by five days you get a phone call from the centre for Disease prevention and control (ecdc), with the information you got in one flight with a measles patient... to the Patient at the parbraukšanas home is sajuties is bad, go to the doctor, discovered in the measles and are under investigation. Epidemiologists explain that where, by the by, the same person is a contact. The data is recorded in the international network. The epidemiologists are turning to the airlines, in order to find out which are flown in the same flight, and then it begins. Protection of data against the basis of security. In principle, the epidemiological security in the country is in a higher position on the protection of personal data, but in all of this postpones the period of time. There is a theoretical possibility to give you the levels of immunoglobulin with the idea that the disease, maybe, but won't have yet, but it does happen – it is too late,"" explained the doctor Zavadska. The rate of complications, the risks If the illness of a child, measles can be conducted relatively easily, the above can not be predicted. If the sick adult is, then, certainly, it will be hard. In the early measles complications are pneumonia, encephalitis, middle ear, inflammation of the. Late is fatal. ""Subakuts sklerotizejošs panencefalits appear in 5 to 7 years after the measles parslimošanas, because the measles virus belongs to the lenajiem for viruses, and it does not have any options. Depending on how quickly the disease develops, a person dies in one of the two-year period of time.

It is important for you to know if your child parslimo measles up to the age of the heavy komplikacijai are ten times more likely than in the case of measles parslimo at a later age,"" explains infektologe. The children are at risk of developing in the period up to the year of age, when be received the first vaccination, and cases in Latvia. One would think – be postponed to give the vaccine in the past, but it is not as simple as that. ""If there is at least 95 per cent of the public have been vaccinated for small children up to the age of one year is a very well-insulated as in the kokona. When vaccination rates fall, we do a lot of travel, start to be sick of children up to the age of. Once the parents are thinking of it, it was not so bad, got sick as if in the mild form, But in a few years starting late sequelae of..."" but why not to vaccinate very young? ""If we accept that in the us a vaccination that has taken place since 1968. of the year, all pregnant women should be vaccinated, these antibodies come in to the baby through the placenta. In this way, the total received for the detection of antibodies helps, but often the protection is not complete, because at this age, the children help to maintain the collective immunity. In addition, after birth, the antibodies will gradually disappear, until a year and a half of age, they are no longer available. The so-called live attenuated vaccines, the antibody interferes. If iedosim the vaccine at the time when there is still enough of the mom's antibodies – a vaccine for neiedarbosies. Therefore, the vakcinejam of age,"" says infektologe. Returning vaccine to the children to give the pre school to 7 years old. ""Maybe we'll have a vaccination for the calendar need to be reviewed. During an outbreak, each state can make their own decisions. Now, in Canada, and in Australia, children who travel in Europe recommend vaccination from the age of six months old. In general, they received the three vaccine – annual, and seven-year olds."" It's never too late, there is no shortage of families where the oldest children have to be vaccinated against a variety of infections, but the most recent are not. It is a lottery, say the doctors. Dace Zavadska stresses that the reasons, now is not too late to vaccinate are also more children, if the parents have to ponder and be willing to change their position. ""The latvians have a saying – the plague cometh not brekdama. If there is any doubt, please come and talk to the vaccination specialists of the infektologiem. Issues related to the vaccine composition, the effects, anything that causes concern! I personally believe that a child's right to health, is greatly superior to the parent as an individual right to take a unilateral decision! The vaccine is in the last 20 to 30 years, most of included drugs in the world. It is also a lot of nonsense, is that a combined vaccination against a number of infections would be a blow to the body.

Between January and June 2018, 41.000 children and adults have been affected by this potentially deadly virus in Europe. 37 of them have not survived. The comparison with the year 2017 - which was until then the worst of the decade - shows the magnitude of this increase. This year, a little less than 24,000 people have been diagnosed. Ukraine strongly affected. Seven european countries have registered more than 1,000 infections in children and adults this year. Ukraine is the most strongly hit by the epidemic. Some 23,000 cases were diagnosed in the last six months. Russia, Serbia, Georgia, Romania, but also Italy and Greece, are also concerned. Most of 2.7000 French contaminated since the end of 2017. France, also, is part of the most affected countries. According to data published by public Health, France on the 29th of July, 2.741 French have been contaminated since November 2017. These bad numbers can be explained by inadequate immunization coverage in adults born after the 80's. According to the european Centre prevention and control (ECDC), in France, more than 8 sick of the measles on 10 have never been vaccinated against the virus. This surge in the number of cases of measles in Europe is worrying the world health Organization (WHO), which calls for the vaccination.

"13416","Image copyright Unicef Image caption The spread of the disease has slowed after a mass vaccination drive  Samoa has lifted a six-week state of emergency, which was put in place amid a measles epidemic that killed 81 people and infected more than 5,600.  Just 200,000 people live on the South Pacific island nation, and vaccination rates are far lower than in neighbouring countries.  Most of those killed in the outbreak were babies and young children.  Infection rates slowed earlier this month after a vaccination drive pushed immunisation rates towards 95%.  According to aid agencies, this is the level required in order to have ""herd immunity"" against the disease.  Under the emergency orders put in place last month, schools were closed, travel and public gatherings were restricted, and red flags were placed outside the homes of people who hadn't been vaccinated.  How did the disease spread?  Globally, measles cases are on the rise - including in the US and Germany - as parents forego life-saving vaccines because of false, repeatedly debunked theories linking childhood immunisation with autism.  Earlier this year a measles outbreak hit Auckland in New Zealand - a hub for people travelling to and from many small Pacific islands.  In Samoa, low vaccination rates are in part due to the deaths of two children in 2018.  The deaths were wrongly attributed to the vaccination against measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) - but were actually caused by nurses mixing the vaccine with a muscle relaxant instead of water.  But this raised local fears around vaccines, and were exploited by anti-vaccination campaigners - also known as ""anti-vaxxers"".  Prominent anti-vaxxer Edwin Tamasese was arrested in Samoa earlier this month and charged with incitement against a government order.  Mr Tamamese had posted false theories about measles on Facebook, and instead promoted the use of ineffective remedies to treat the deadly illness - such as using papaya leaf extract and vitamin C.  He also called the government's vaccination programme ""the greatest crime against our people"".",899,"uk"

"5584","Measles, a disaster in the city: 15% of admissions in paediatrics relates to this disease LAMEZIA. It is a true emergency, the epidemic of measles in Lamezia. It is not a chat bar, but the considered opinion of the Mimma Caloiero, head of the department of pediatrics of the hospital “John Paul II”. Dr. Caloiero, a veteran of the Seventh world of the vaccination, which was held from 24 April last, has made it clear that you are actually in the cities of the plain the spread of measles in the last few months has had a real character of the epidemic. It was therefore deemed necessary to put together an operational team that thought of how to cope with the emergency with concrete actions. The operational team is The team that is studying the phenomenon is composed by Antonio Gallucci, medical director of the hospital's unique Asp Catanzaro, director of healthcare business Amalia Gabriella De Luca, by the head of the simple vaccinations Rosario Raffa, from the same Mimma Caloiero, head of the department of pediatrics of Lamezia, the neonatologist Rossella Galiano, from the infettivologa Giuseppina Berardelli, and by the representative of the office of hygiene and public health, Maria Montesanti. To the institutional representatives then you add the pediatricians represented by Mary Grace Licastro and Ida Perri. Dr. Caloiero explains that, in the light of the data 2017, the group analyzed the situation and developed a strategy to stem the epidemic. “We have verified, with data in hand, that it was actually an emergency and that it was not just scaremongering. Consider the fact that 15% of the admissions 2017, covers cases of measles: of course, when there is the patient, it means that it is in the presence of a complication”. The situation, therefore, is not at all simple. No vax and obligation of vaccination “fortunately we have not had deaths, but we are faced with two cases of very serious that concerned two young patients already suffering from other underlying diseases, serious diseases, genetic”. Children, these, protect with vaccination to the carpet, as the so-called ‘herd effect’ has to go to cover all those subjects that, for genetic disorders, cannot receive the vaccine. Generally, vaccination against measles is provided by the twelfth month of age. The working group, thanks to the contacts with the ministry intervened through dr. De Luca and dr. Raffa has managed to introduce a novelty, even taking into account the composition of the vaccines of the last generation, which include chickenpox, mumps, and rubella (mmr). “The good news is that the vaccination can also be made from the 9 months”. With regard to the trend of vaccinations, Lamezia is certainly not tail, however, the work is more to do especially in front of the emergency of the past few months (which still has not been fully remedied). “There is a good average vaccination to Lamezia, with a big commitment on the part of pediatricians of free choice. However, we have the perception that you are stating a current no vax: it is true that the percentage of vaccination remained at high levels, however, begins to emerge in the dispute”. The dispute has, however, been limited thanks also to the obligation of vaccination. Dr. Caloriero admits that there has been “a small decline in vaccinations in recent years, therefore, the requirement for access to the school was inevitable and preferable to the epidemic. Also for the herd effect to protect those children who cannot be vaccinated due to chronic diseases”. A concrete commitment to Lamezia And while in Sicily launches a special plan for vaccinations... in Calabria, what happens? Mimma Caloiero can't answer for the entire region, but defends with pride the work that is being carried out in its asp reference. Is explained by the fact that “the majority of hospitalizations occurred in children of Italian, however, there is a significant percentage of 28%, which includes children of ethnic roma (and another small part moroccan), therefore we are starting the concrete project to carry out a vaccination, the carpet between the roma children who have not received. We depart from the control of measles, but then will also extend to other vaccines. The medical director Gallucci provided a clinic adjacent to the pediatrics where from 15 may, every Tuesday afternoon, will be vaccinated at-risk children. We are responding to the emergency operating in a network and let's start with this project”. The department is well-equipped to deal with the emergency. “We have children in hospital, we have isolation rooms and we try to take precautions that can limit the spread of the virus. For example, we have verified that all healthcare workers has been vaccinated or has already contracted the measles in the past in order not to contribute to the spread of the epidemic”. The measles vaccine and autism: NO CORRELATION On the presumed correlation with the diagnosis of autism, the main cause of the spread of theories, no vax, the Caloiero is categorical: there is no scientific basis. “The fear of autism, that is a disease on the rise, alienates the parents from vaccinations. The diagnosis of autism is established between 18 months and 2 years of age, which is precisely the range in which you do the vaccinations for measles. There is a correlation in the sciences, but only relative to the same period of time.” The parents of autistic children need to find an explanation and the lack of information pushes us to associate with the diagnosis of autism to the measles vaccination. But we really want to send upstream decades of medical-scientific research? The position is clear and you have to define it once and for all: an outbreak dismantled with the vaccine. There can be no opinions on these topics, there are no points of view or positions more or less agree: science does not admit opinions. Daniela Lucia",897,"italy"

"2051","Like the Aids virus, but the sooner, the measles virus attacks the immune system, according to a study published in Science Thursday, October 31, 2019. The sick are almost as vulnerable to the pathogen as a new-born, reinforcing the usefulness of the vaccination. Public health professionals had previously observed that the vaccination campaigns against measles were lower infant mortality total. But the researchers were not sure of the biological mechanisms. A team of Harvard researchers, of the medical Institute Howard Hughes and the Erasmus university in the netherlands analyzed the blood of 77 Dutch infants infected with measles during the epidemic that struck the country in 2013 : their blood had been taken before the infection, and then again two months after. The researchers used a tool developed in the United States and it is called VirScan, which identifies all of the virus that has infected previously a person, and that the immune system remembers : HIV, flu, herpes, and hundreds of other viruses. When the body encounters a virus, it creates antibodies that remain and protect from infections in the future : it is the ""memory"" immune. From 11 to 73% of the antibody eliminated The analyses showed that the measles eliminated between 11 and 73% of protective antibodies in children. The measles ""reset your immune system and return you to a more naive state"", explains to the AFP, the epidemiologist Michael Mina, of Harvard, co-author of the study. To return to a high level of antibodies and rebuild their defenses, ""they need to be reinfected by pathogens, such as new-born babies, which take a lot of risks in the first years of their life,"" says Michael Mina. Measles, a disease even more dangerous than it seems Unlike HIV, the immune defenses are weakened much more quickly, and they are also rebuilding more quickly, says the researcher. The study, supported by tests on macaques, and by another analysis, published Thursday in Science, Immunology, shows that the danger of measles exceeds the only risk related to infection. ""The virus is far more deleterious than we thought, which makes the vaccine more valuable,"" says Stephen Elledge, a geneticist who has developed with colleagues a tool VirScan.",891,"france"

"515","The debate is not new, but it is still relevant. Should we vaccinate children against childhood diseases such as measles for example? Most pediatricians recommend it strongly. There are still doctors refractory. The minister of health has decided to punish them. The doctor Kris Glaublomme do not go there by four paths. For him, the measles vaccine was dangerous. He said yesterday evening on the shelf of our peers, VTM. This has pushed the minister of health, Maggie De Block. ""Each physician must treat and support the patient, depending on the state of medical knowledge. The usefulness of the vaccination has been proven. All other allegations are just that-inventions that are not worthy of a doctor"", she said. A complaint against the doctor Glaublomme has been filed with the college of physicians. This practitioner, however, is not the only one to question vaccines, for a Belgian, over 10 vaccines are not effective And yet, this specialist is formal. ""There is no scientific basis on which we can rely to support a recommendation against vaccination,"" says John Gérain, the doctor in charge of infectious diseases at the Chirc. In Belgium, only the vaccine against polio is compulsory, the others are recommended, and sometimes indispensable, to have access to certain nurseries, but not mandatory so. Some parents do not vaccinate their children, advancing three arguments: The first: vaccines cause side effects, such as asthma, multiple sclerosis, or autism. ""Whether it is autism or multiple sclerosis, there has been a long debate in Franc where you accuse the vaccines against hepatitis B in saying that it induced an increase in the risk of multiple sclerosis. This idea has totally been eliminated, a few years ago already,"" says Jean Gérain. Second argument: it is the pharmaceutical lobby which requires some vaccines for financial reasons. ""It is true that some vaccines are a luxury because they protect against diseases which are not fatal and not contagious. But I believe that it is necessary to make sense of things. There are a series of vaccines that are fundamental for all children,"" adds Jean Gérain. Third argument: it is useless to vaccinate one's child against a disease that no longer exists in Belgium. ""These movements anti-vaccination, the number of children vaccinated against measles has decreased. In some countries, in a dramatic way. So much so that in central Europe, there is a huge upsurge of measles cases,"" says John Gérain. In Belgium, since the beginning of the year there has already been some thirty cases of measles last year on the same date, they were only 2.

"33104","How can you be a city like New York on alert for a disease eradicated twenty years ago? A measles outbreak affects the community ultra-orthodox jews hasídicos and many are wondering how can someone not to vaccinate their children in full by 2019. The answer is complicated, as almost everything surrounding this religious group and their very particular way of seeing the world. If a Friday afternoon visit to the neighborhood of Williamsburg, in Brooklyn, at the fall of the sun, hear the sound of the sirens of the bombing. Do not reach the Russian fighter, but yes we see deserted streets, and some jewish ultra-orthodox that has been confused and goes running home loaded with shopping bags. The sirens alert you to the start of the Shabbat, the holy day of the jews, and that there is to be in the house. Williamsburg's streets are empty of its major neighbors: men dressed in dark with large hats, beards and ringlets. Women hairless with a wig and long gowns, pulling carts. And many, many, many, many children. One subway stop away from Manhattan, the jews hasídicos created decades ago a world apart. One where the normal are arranged marriages among twentysomethings, couples with eight children, segregated education for boys and girls, and the language most common in the sidewalks is not the English nor the Hebrew, but yiddish. It is a world of shops, kosher, cyber-cafes with an internet properly ""limited"" and where you use mobile phones but not tv. An island of religiosity and tradition in the middle of the most modern city in the world. The survivors come to Brooklyn Within the huge disaster that was the Holocaust for the jews, to the hasídicos them was even worse than the rest. The leaders of their communities, many in Eastern Europe in the early TWENTIETH century, advised her faithful not to flee to America or to Israel, not to learn the language of their countries and that did not abandon their traditional form of dress. In part for this reason too, the jews hasídicos were an easy prey for nazi barbarism and suffered huge losses. In Hebrew, the words ""holy"" and ""separate"" have the same root. Within the different branches of judaism hasídico, to be ""apart"" of the society and to maintain the unity of the community has always been a core value. Even if the persecution of the nazis was more effective against them by such a separation, in the jewish schools are ultra-orthodox of the united States is still taught that the Holocaust was a punishment from Yahweh because of excessive assimilation of jews in european societies. A bug in Williamsburg no one wants to repeat. The community has its own police disarmed, the Shomrim, and also have their system of schools or Yeshivás. Work with your own school schedule that respects the Shabbat and the study of the sacred texts of the Torah takes up almost all the time, especially for the male students. A student may not know how to write his name in English until high school and since then not to mention the theory of evolution, but very few take their education beyond the institute. This is in part to avoid a dangerous environment for the morality hasídica (the university), but also by a lack of need: the jews hasídicos working primarily in business of the own community, for those who are not required to have great academic preparation. In a way, the educational system, closed is a success: the other branches of judaism in the US is losing members, while the orthodox are increased by your birth and the abandonment is much lower. If the lack of training and qualified employment, we that families can have 14 or 15 members, this translates into poverty. Neighborhoods, ultra-orthodox jews are among the poorest in the country, although the statistics of income do not translate into people who are homeless or begging on the road side. Williamsburg is a neighborhood beat-up, but the strong sense of community and family, in addition to the role of the underground economy, avoid the worst face of the misery. Political power to protect the segregation of The jews hasídicos are a very active community politically, and have exercised their enormous influence on many, many occasions. Neighborhoods such as Williamsburg are at the head among the more subsidies they receive from all over the country. In part it is because so what justifies your level of income, but also because the community hasídica has a very well studied for decades, the system of granting public aid to housing and to food. In the 90s, one of every three inhabitants of the district received some kind of help. In addition, in a city where democrats are in the majority, the hasídicos are a solid block of conservative that always go to vote and that has a dome very clear with whom to negotiate. The community has been very skillful in the management of aid but also protecting his autonomy. One of their political battles more common is the preservation of their educational system, because New York law requires that private schools provide an education ""equivalent"" to the public. In the words of a rabbi hasídico ""the study of the texts of the religious jews is not only equivalent, but superior, since the Talmud contains a high level of history, science, culture, language, mathematics..."" there Are many who discreparían of this argument, but for the moment, the ultra-orthodox have been defeated: one of their senators arrived to block the budget of the entire state (158.000 million euros), until he received assurances that they would not behoove you to Yeshivás. The politicians have not legislated against some of the traditions most controversial of the community hasídica. The best example is the ritual ancient in the that, after circumcising a newborn, a religious absorbed with the mouth, the blood from the wound on the penis. According to the authorities of the city, the risk of a serious infection by herpes in a baby triples when you go to that practice and there has been even some deaths, but it has not been prohibited. The most conservative estimates say that go for it about 3,600 children a year. Not to get vaccinated against the measles, by the way, neither the Torah nor the Talmud nor the tradition hasídica say anything. Quite the contrary, most of the rabbis state that it is part of the precept of ""defending life"". However, in a relatively isolated and doesn't trust easily of the authorities, hoaxes antivacunas found a most fertile breeding ground. The religious leaders and the secular are trying to bring awareness to the community, but as of now, measles is still fired between the (many) children of Williamsburg.",884,"spain"

We have rooms with five of the most popular myths about the disease and the vaccination to pix4U/Fotolia The measles among the infectious diseases, for the early vaccination is recommended 1. The measles are defeated in Europe. The opposite is true: Since a few years, cases of measles are piling up again, according to the world health organization WHO. According to the latest Figures to 2017 have been infected in Europe, 21,000 people with the Virus. The are about four Times as many as in the previous year. 35 people have died of the infection that is highly contagious. The WHO makes the jump in a lower vaccination Coverage to be responsible. Some simply lack the vaccines. However, some parents are faced with the vaccination of their babies and toddlers skeptical. The myths of vaccination opponents: 2. For children, it is important diseases, such as measles, to go through, protects against future diseases is better than vaccination. In fact, the protection of the immune system in the case of some infectious diseases is compared to a vaccination, stronger and longer lasting, if the disease has been passed through. However, do not generalize. Infection with the measles Virus can even – quite the contrary – lead to a year-long weakening of the immune system. Also, the concern that vaccinated children develop physically and mentally worse than the unvaccinated, is not scientifically justifiable. 3. The vaccination does more harm than it helps avoid. Although it can occur after vaccination to a reddening of the injection site, General, moderate symptoms of illness such as lethargy or increased temperature can occur. However, these are all signs that the immune system does what it should: namely, antibodies to develop. The risk is that it comes with a basic immunization of children to serious side effects, is often lower than the risk of dangerous complications in the real course of the disease. Statistically seen, is the dreaded inflammation of the brain in the case of a measles-disease about a thousand Times more likely than a vaccination. 4. The vaccines contain toxic chemicals. In fact, vaccines are substances that can not contain that we expect of our body. Including formaldehyde, Aluminium, Phenol or mercury. But the fact that they are included and has a good reason, because they amplify the response of the immune system (aluminum hydroxide), kill Viruses (formaldehyde) or make the vaccine is durable (Phenol). And in concentrations far below Toxicological limits. This also applies to mercury-containing additives. The were vaccination-skeptics suspected that autism trigger. Independent authorities such as the WHO and the European medicines authority EMA are not but come to the conclusion that such a connection exists.

"13515","Measles will become endemic in Britain within 30 years unless vaccinations are made compulsory for school children, academics have suggested.  A new study predicts current efforts will be insufficient to keep the disease at bay.  Last year, 3.7 per cent of the population was believed to be susceptible to measles, comfortably below the 7.5 per cent needed for “herd immunity”, the threshold below which outbreaks of measles tend not to spread.  However, the computer model analysis found that merely continuing with current practices will not be sufficient to suppress the tide of vaccine scepticism, meaning the proportion will break the 7.5 per cent barrier by 2050 at the latest.  The study found that compulsory vaccination upon entering school would “strongly benefit” the struggle to fight the disease.  The research will add to the clamour for a mandatory approach.  Last month Matt Hancock, the Health and Social Care Secretary, said he could not rule out the possibility that unvaccinated children would be sent home unless the immunisation rate improves.  France and Italy have already introduced compulsory vaccination in schools. Dr. Stefano Merler, from the Bruno Kessler Foundation, Italy: “Our results suggest that most of the countries we have studied would strongly benefit from the introduction of compulsory vaccination at school entry in addition to current immunisation programmes.",867,"uk"

"2057","Long considered to be eradicated, measles is still common in Europe. The Old Continent would do even in the face of an epidemic, will alarm the world health Organization (WHO) in a press release published on Monday. During the first six months of 2018, over 41,000 adults and children in the european region have contracted the disease. 37 are dead. ""After saving the record to the decrease of this decade in 2016, we see now an increase in arrow of infections, as well as large-scale outbreaks,"" observes the doctor Zsuzsanna Jakab, WHO regional director for Europe. The number of cases has never been that high in ten years. In 2017, for example, there were 24,000 people affected by this viral infection of the rash. If Ukraine is the country most affected, WHO identifies seven european countries with more than 1,000 infections this year, including Georgia, germany, Greece, Italy or France. 2.741 cases of measles have been reported in the Hexagon of the November 6, 2017 July 29, 2018. And three deaths have been recorded since the beginning of the year. Low immunization coverage, the causes are The same as in 2015, when WHO pulled already sounding the alarm : the decrease in vaccinations. WHO's paying close attention to the low vaccination coverage in some countries. In France, for example, 89 % of measles cases have occurred in patients with non-or improperly vaccinated, indicates Public Health France . ""As of January 1, 2018, vaccination against measles is mandatory in infants, who should receive a dose of the combination vaccine Measles-Mumps-Rubella (MMR) vaccine at 12 months of age and a second dose between 16 and 18 months,"" says yet the body. For the hope of eliminating the virus, it is necessary that 95 % of the population, young people, children and young adults born since 1980 have received two doses of the vaccine. ""This setback part shows that any person who is not vaccinated is vulnerable, where she lives, and that all countries should keep up the pressure to expand coverage and address immunity gaps, even after having obtained a status of the interruption or elimination of the disease,"" said dr. Nedret Emiroglu, responsible within the WHO. Measles is a highly contagious disease and is spread via coughing and sneezing.

"5116","FOUR EUROPEAN COUNTRIES have lost their measles-free status as the number of cases skyrockets across the continent.  Measles is no longer considered eliminated in the UK, Greece, the Czech Republic and Albania, based on 2018 data.  The latest development resulted in the World Health Organization (WHO) today warning that countries need to step up vaccination efforts.  An expert last week told TheJournal.ie that Ireland is also at risk of losing its measles-free status following an increase in cases here and a drop in the number of people being vaccinated.  Gunter Pfaff, the head of the WHO’s European Regional Verification Commission for Measles and Rubella Elimination, said the recent spike in measles cases across Europe is “concerning”.  “If high immunisation coverage is not achieved and sustained in every community, both children and adults will suffer unnecessarily and some will tragically die,” he said today.  There were 89,994 cases of measles in 48 countries in the WHO European region in the first six months of 2019, more than double the number in the same period in 2018 when there were 44,175 cases. That’s more than the 84,462 cases reported for all of 2018, according to WHO figures.  Measles is considered eliminated when there is no endemic disease transmission for 12 months or more in a specific geographic area. Three years after eliminating the disease, the UK was stripped of its measles-free status earlier this month.  While the disease is highly contagious, it can be prevented through a two-dose vaccine, but the WHO has in recent months sounded the alarm over vaccination rates.  The UK reported 953 measles cases in 2018 and 489 for the first six months of 2019. In the same time periods, Greece reported 2,193 and 28 cases, Albania 1,466 and 475, and the Czech Republic 217 and 569.  “Each of these countries are examples that have extremely high national vaccination coverage. So these are not examples of countries that have particularly weak systems,” Kate O’Brien, director of the WHO’s Immunization Department, said.  This is the alarm bell that is ringing around the world: being able to achieve high national coverage is not enough, it has to be achieved in every community, and every family for every child.  There have been 56 reported cases in Ireland to date in 2019 – 33 of which have been confirmed. The number of cases here tripled from 25 in 2017 to 77 in 2018.  Most cases in Ireland to date this year were among children, however there were 17 cases among people aged 20-44. Thirty-one cases involved males and 25 cases related to females.  Potentially fatal  Measles is a highly infectious airborne illness that spreads very easily, often via coughing or sneezing. Symptoms include a high fever, cough, runny nose and rash.  Thirty-seven deaths were reported across 48 of the 53 countries in the WHO European region in the first six months of 2019. There were at least 74 measles death in Europe last year.  Other severe complications can include blindness and, for pregnant women, miscarriage.  Some 60% of patients in Europe in the first half of 2019 were under the age of 19. Four countries were home to 78% of cases in the first six months of the year: Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Georgia and Russia — 60% of cases were reported in Ukraine alone.  Meanwhile, Austria and Switzerland were confirmed to have elimination status in 2018, the WHO said.  Measles has been declared eliminated in 35 of the 53 countries in the WHO’s European region for 2018, down from 37 in 2017.  It is considered endemic in 12 countries, including France and Germany. In the latter, vaccination against the disease will become mandatory in March 2020.  According to the WHO, more than 20 million deaths have been prevented around the globe between 2000 and 2016 thanks to measles vaccination.  Worldwide, the number of cases reported from 1 January to 31 July this year tripled to 364,808, compared with 129,239 during the same seven months last year.  The highest numbers of cases were reported in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Madagascar and Ukraine. The United States meanwhile registered its highest number of cases in 25 years.  The numbers are especially worrying as nine in 10 cases are believed to go unrecorded worldwide, according to the WHO.  O’Brien said that in reality, around 6.7 million deaths each year were linked to measles.  Anti-vaccine movement  The disease had been officially eliminated in many countries with advanced healthcare systems, with numbers steadily decreasing until 2016 when a resurgence began.  According to the WHO, the reasons for people not being vaccinated vary significantly between communities and countries, with a lack of access to quality healthcare or vaccination services hindering some from getting the jabs, while others may be misinformed about vaccines and the need to vaccinate.  The so-called ‘anti-vax movement’ — driven by completely disproven claims linking the MMR vaccine against measles, mumps and rubella, to a risk of autism in children — has increasingly gained traction in recent years.  Uneven vaccination coverage and gaps and disparities between communities, geographic areas and among age groups has allowed measles to flourish even in countries with high national vaccination rates.  All children in Ireland entitled to, and advised to, get the MMR vaccine at the age of 12 months. They are supposed to get a second dose when four or five (in junior infants). Adults who are not sure if they received the vaccine as a child are advised to contact their GP to check and discuss getting a booster if needed.  The uptake rate for the MMR vaccine here is 90.1% – below the HSE’s goal of 95%, the level needed for herd immunity.  Dr Kevin Kelleher, Assistant National Director of the HSE’s Health Protection section, last week told TheJournal.ie a minority of people haven’t had the vaccine for “valid medical reasons”, such as children who are receiving chemotherapy, and rely on others to be vaccinated so they and the wider population is protected.  Ireland reached an uptake rate of 92% last year but the upward trend we had been experiencing is now being eroded. The 90.1% figure relates to children who were two years old in the first quarter of 2019. Kelleher said the “slight and slow decline” in MMR uptake rates is “absolutely a concern”.

The patients are between the ages of 8 to 17 years, said the ministry to The essential. There is a risk of spread of the disease, according to a survey conducted by the directorate of health among those infected. Measles is a highly contagious disease: a single patient can infect 15 to 20 people. The first signs are a runny nose, red and watery eyes, cough and fever. And then the rash, which has given its name to the disease. The redness begins on the face and behind the ears and lasts five days. The ministry says that measles ""is not a disease anodyne"".

For children, it is necessary two doses of the combined vaccine against measles, mumps, rubella and varicella. For adults born after 1980 who have not received two doses of the vaccine, it should be a reminder of the MMR vaccine (Measles, mumps, rubella).

"37103","Less than a year after saying goodbye to the worst outbreak of ebola in history, which killed over 11,000 people in several countries of West Africa, Guinea Conakry has a new enemy to fight: the measles. The ""devastating"" effect of the ebola virus in an already precarious health system explains, in the judgment of Doctors Without Borders (MSF), the origin of this new epidemic that has affected 3.468 people and has left 14 people dead since January in one of the poorest countries in the continent. ""The crisis of ebola –between 2014 and 2016– has had a great impact in the programs for routine vaccination and reduced protection coverage against childhood diseases, including measles,"" says Ismael I. Adjaho, medical coordinator of MSF in the country, in an interview with the journal.is. During those two years, as stated by Adjaho, the risk of spreading it to someone with a simple needle or the distrust of the population, who are not used to go to the health centers because they are considered as dangerous places, disrupted the care of diseases such as measles, very contagious –an infected person can infect up to 18– but easily preventable and affordable treatment. The majority of the resources, such as workers or computers, was also given to the fight against ebola. A child receives vitamin A after you have been vaccinated for measles at a point of vaccination in the commune of Matoto in Conakry, Guinea. Each child under the age of five years received a dose as a supplement for lack of vitamin A. Markel Redondo As a backdrop, insists the NGOS, there is a national health care system that still has ""serious deficiencies"" to provide the most routine care to the population. The new epidemic has been declared a year after that the guinean authorities will try to recover part of the lost ground with a massive campaign of vaccination against measles. ""It is a worrying sign of the weakness of the health system of the country,"" points out Ibrahim Diallo, representative of MSF. In Guinea, a mineral-rich country where more than half of the population lives under the threshold of poverty, the people ""do not make use of the health services, as they bear the costs of consultation and medicines,"" says Adhajo. ""The low investment in health leads to facilities that have deteriorated, shortage of trained health personnel –only 18 doctors for 100,000 people– and medical supplies are insufficient,"" he adds. ""The world has gone to sleep"" to Prevent that to ever occur was the central idea of the analysis at that time. One of the lessons left by the end of ebola was the need to strengthen with sufficient resources the already weak health systems of the three countries –Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone– more shaken by the deadly epidemic. Rebuild, the first step and one of the main demands of the World Health Organization (WHO) and public health experts. However, the NGO report, with data from the United Nations, only 18% of the international funding for the epidemic have been invested in the recovery of health systems. ""If ebola was a wake-up call, it seems that since then the world has gone to sleep"", he criticizes Mit Philips, Health Policy advisor of the NGO. ""The impact of the pledges on financing, training, and support is not yet palpable to the population, and is thus demonstrated by this outbreak of measles"" sentence. ""The numerous organizations that came to support to Guinea until the end of the ebola epidemic have disappeared from the crowded streets of Conakry. Plans have been drawn up, it has been promised some money, but up to now, in addition to surveillance, the health system of Guinea is in a similar state to that which existed before ebola,"" says the coordinator of MSF in the country.

Do not take to the doctor Measles is a highly contagious disease, as both can affect children and adults. - If we put 100 people in a room that is not infected, and there come in one check, which is infected, so will all 100 in the course of an hour be infected, says Jan Pravsgaard Christensen, who is a professor at the Department of Immunology and Microbiology at Copenhagen University. Maslingesmitten is transmitted by droplet infection, and even if the sick person is isolated, can the measles jump from room to room. The typical symptoms of measles are a high fever, heavy cold, red eyes, and cough. After a few days of recovery are typically seen new high fever and a red dotted rash that starts in face and spreads down over the body. The rash will typically ”flow together”. Approximately 15 percent get complications such as mellemore and pneumonia, and in rare cases the disease can cause serious complications such as pneumonia or encephalitis. - In case you have symptoms of measles and are not vaccinated or have had the disease, you must call to his doctor. One should not turn up unannounced, as you are thus likely to infect others in the waiting room, warn, Jeppe Norgaard Rasmussen. Are you vaccinated? If you were born in 1987, and then, you are most likely to have been vaccinated against measles. Are you born before 1975, you are in all probability not been vaccinated, but if you grew up in Denmark, has, according to the Statens Serum Institut with very high probability (95 to 98 percent) had the measles. The reason is that before 1975 was the outbreak every two years, with up to 60,000 infected people. All have received a vaccination card, which shows what you have been vaccinated against. The Patient has sent information to the 13-month-old child's day care center, as well as to the parents of children at a babysvommehold, the child has participated in.",849,"denmark"
"13615","As the world’s news cameras focus on the Ebola outbreak in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), a second and so far more deadly epidemic is sweeping through the country: measles.  The epidemic declared on 10 June is now the worst that the DRC has witnessed since 2012. Between January and early August 2019, it infected over 145,000 people and killed 2,758.  However, despite the scale of this epidemic, there is an alarming lack of organisations and funds to respond to this crisis and save lives.  “Just to bring vaccines to places where children need to be vaccinated is a huge task”  Measles is a highly contagious viral disease – 90 percent of people who share living space with an infected person will catch it. Around the world, it is one of the leading killers of young children.  A safe an effective vaccine has existed since the 1960s, however, outbreaks still occur in places with poor immunisation programmes.  DRC: Urgent medical aid is needed  With only 2.5 million dollars raised of the 8.9 million required for the international response being coordinated by the World Health Organisation (WHO), there is a striking contrast with the Ebola epidemic in the east – attracting multiple organisations and hundreds of millions of dollars of funding.  “While a rapid and adapted response is critical to limiting the impact of measles in the community, on the ground, there is an absence of organisations and a flagrant lack of much-needed assistance,” says Karel Janssens, who oversees MSF’s work in the DRC.  Our teams have been fighting the outbreak alongside local Ministry of Health staff through regular and emergency projects across 13 different provinces in the country.  Since the beginning of the year, MSF has vaccinated 474,863 children between aged between six-months and five-years-old and provided medical care for 27,439 patients.  Emergency response teams  Most recently, MSF has been sending teams to new areas, such as the province of Mai-Ndombe in the west of the DRC.  There, we have deployed an emergency team to limit the spread of the epidemic in areas along the Kasai River: Kwamouth, Bolobo and Nioki.  Set up to be mobile and agile, the team moves its base continuously. This allows it to adapt the response to the needs on the ground and to reach people in remote areas where access to health care remains extremely challenging.  Franck Ngonga/MSF Boats being loaded with vaccination supplies at the village of Kwamouth  “Just to bring vaccines to places where children need to be vaccinated is a huge task,” says Pierre Van Heddegem, who coordinates our measles emergency team.  “We have to keep the vaccines within strict temperature limits, which means setting up a ‘cold chain’, This requires refrigerators, generators, fuel and fast transportation, as well as a maintenance system.  “Many areas do not receive any support from other organisations, despite the clear needs.”  “No signs of slowing down”  Unless there is a massive mobilisation of funds and organisations, this outbreak could get even worse.  “Two months after the official declaration and a few weeks before the start of the school year,  the measles epidemic shows no signs of slowing down,” says Karel.  “In fact, since July, the epidemic has worsened, with a rise in new cases reported in several provinces.  ""If we want to contain the outbreak, it is imperative to strengthen the response and to do it immediately.”  Currently, no treatment exists for this highly contagious disease. The only way to fight measles is through preventative vaccinations and by treating the symptoms in the hope that the patient will be strong enough to fight off the infection.

"2058","The disease has caused the death of a quarantine of marine mammals since the beginning of the year off the Italian coast. Measles is not the prerogative of humans alone. The disease, very contagious, due in large part to the death of a quarantine of cetaceans since the beginning of the year along the tuscan coasts. Chemicals have also been able to weaken their immune system, according to a scientific analysis published this week in the Italian press. The announcement of the results of the analyses made by the region of Tuscany thus raise a corner of the mystery of this massacre. READ ALSO >> There are no more than 30 harbour porpoises of the Pacific, the smallest cetacean in the world, according To a study conducted between 2008 and 2018 by the regional Agency for environmental protection of Tuscany (Arpat), on average, 18 cetaceans are found dead each year in this region, testifying to the exceptional nature of the current episode. The dolphins had stopped to feed, If the experts, on the basis of necropsies of carcasses, have pointed out that the measles, they have also pointed to high levels of contamination to chemical products ingurgités in the sea. These products, including insecticides, such as DDT, attack their immune defense and facilitate disease development, explained the experts, cited in particular by the newspaper Il Fatto Quotidiano. The stomachs of dolphins that died were often left blank, showing that they had stopped feeding. The area off the coast of Tuscany is part of the reserve, the Pelagos sanctuary for marine mammal protection, created in 1999 by France, Italy and the Principality of Monaco.

Only a small part of this increase could be attributed to better Monitoring. Around the world by 2017 190 000 measles cases were the information to be known. However, since not all Patients are captured, is likely the actual number is much higher. 110 000 people have died, the WHO estimates, according to. Most of them have children. Thus, the Situation is better than the turn of the Millennium. ""No doubt there were since the year 2000, huge progress,"" said Martin Friede of the WHO Department of vaccines.

"13815","Measles outbreaks can happen anywhere and at any time.  Since October 2017 measles outbreaks have been reported in Leeds, Liverpool, Birmingham, Manchester and Surrey that are all linked to ongoing large outbreaks in Europe.  Anyone planning to travel to Europe should make sure they are up to date with their MMR vaccines. Unvaccinated people travelling to Romania, Italy and Germany – where there are large outbreaks – are at particularly high risk.  Measles is a highly infectious viral illness that can be very unpleasant and can sometimes lead to serious complications.  The MMR vaccine is available to all adults and children who are not up to date with their 2 doses of MMR vaccine. Anyone who is not sure if they are protected should check with their GP practice.  Here's what to do in the event of a measles outbreak near you.  Why is it so important to be vaccinated against measles?  Measles is a very infectious, serious illness that, in rare cases, can be fatal. About 1 in 5 children with measles experiences complications such as ear infections, diarrhoea and vomiting, pneumonia, meningitis, and eye disorders. 1 in 10 children with measles ends up in hospital. There is no treatment for the disease. Vaccination is the only way of preventing it.  How easy is it to catch measles?  Measles spreads very easily. In fact, it's one of the most infectious diseases known. You can catch measles if you spend just 15 minutes with someone who has the disease.  Read more about measles and the MMR vaccination.  Can adults catch measles?  Yes. And adults are likely to be more ill than children and for longer. Someone with measles generally has to spend 5 days in bed and be off work for 10 days. Adults are also more prone to measles complications than children.  We live a long way from the outbreak, so should I be worried?  Outbreaks of measles can happen anywhere at any time. Wherever you live in the UK, it's important that your children or teenagers are up to date with their MMR and other childhood vaccinations.  If your child has already had 2 doses of MMR vaccine, you don't need to worry.  Similarly, if your child had their first dose of MMR as a baby, but they are not yet old enough to have received their second dose, they are up to date and there is no need to have the second MMR dose earlier than scheduled.  However, if your child is school-age and has only had 1 MMR dose, or has not been vaccinated at all, they should be vaccinated as soon as possible.  Find out which vaccinations are available on the NHS.  What if I'm going close to an area with an outbreak?  If you have plans to travel to an area where there has been an outbreak of measles, make immediate arrangements with your GP for your children or teenagers to receive the MMR vaccination if they have not had both doses before.  Babies and young children can have doses of the vaccination earlier or closer together than usual in special circumstances.  Can my children still have the MMR vaccination if they were not vaccinated as babies?  Yes. It's never too late for your children and teenagers (or you) to ""catch up"" with MMR vaccination if you or they missed it earlier. Children up to the age of 18 and adults without immunity should have a catch-up MMR vaccination.  Can a baby under 6 months have the MMR vaccine?  No. Babies under 6 months usually have some antibodies to measles already in their system passed on from their mum at birth, which may give them some protection for the first few months. But this residual immunity also interferes with their response to the MMR vaccine.  So, the best approach for children under 6 months is to try to avoid them having any contact with measles.  It's also a good idea to make sure the rest of your family have had the MMR jab, especially if you are planning to visit an outbreak area, as the greatest risk is in the household.  I'm not sure if my children are already vaccinated. How do I find out?  MMR vaccination is usually given as a first dose around the age of 13 months and again as a ""booster"" jab before school between the ages of 3 and 5.  If your child has already had the vaccine, it should be recorded in their medical notes and in their personal health record (the Red Book). Ask your GP or practice manager if you're not sure.  Find your local GP.  What do I do if my GP is not sure if my family has been vaccinated?  If you or your GP are unsure whether your children or teenagers have been vaccinated against measles before, go ahead and arrange to have them vaccinated again. It will not hurt them to have the MMR vaccination a second or third time.  Will I have to pay for the MMR vaccination?  No. MMR vaccination is available to adults and children free on the NHS.  Can you still get measles after the MMR vaccination?  It's extremely unlikely, but you need 2 doses of MMR to be fully protected. The first dose of the MMR jab protects 90% of those who receive it, and the second dose tops this up to 99% protection.  How do I arrange vaccination?  Simply call your local GP practice and make an appointment for an MMR jab. It involves 2 doses, which can be given just a month apart to give protection as quickly as possible.  If you are not registered with a GP, find the nearest doctor's surgery, who will give your family the jabs.  Read more about how the MMR jab is given.  Can adults have the MMR jab?  It's not just children who can benefit from MMR vaccination.  Young people and adults who are unsure whether they've had measles or been vaccinated – particularly if they're carers or work with children – can have the MMR vaccine on the NHS from their GP.  Bear in mind that most adults born before 1970 are likely to be immune because they have probably been exposed to measles already.",844,"uk"

If we really want to prevent the spread of this dangerous but preventable disease, we should vaccinate all the children, both in rich countries as in poor. It is vital not only increase coverage, but also to maintain rates of vaccination to create an umbrella of immunity"", said the Unicef executive director, Henrietta Fore, on these data. You need two doses of the vaccine to protect children from the disease.

The global coverage of the second dose is ""much less"", with a 67 per cent, while the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends a threshold of coberturade immunization of 95 percent to achieve the so-called 'herd immunity'.

Parents to have their children vaccinated put other people's lives in danger - for example, babies who could not be vaccinated, or of debilitated elderly. ""You should follow the advice of the pediatrician, trust, and get vaccinated"". Because: ""vaccination weakens by no means immune, but the disease very well."" Recommends the measles vaccination: Dr. Karin Müller, head of the health office for the city and district of Kassel. © Archiv photo: Hedler/nh measles: Definition of the disease measles is a highly contagious acute disease with the measles virus. They are the typical children's diseases. But even adults can suffer from them, if they are not vaccinated or the disease in children have not suffered. Infants are protected within the first six months, if your mother has passed on during the pregnancy corresponding to the antibody via the placenta. This is the case, if the mother was vaccinated against the measles or the disease itself has made. What are the symptoms of measles? The disease affects the General condition considerably and is usually in two stages: First, the flu-like stage comes after two to four days, the typical rash occurs. The danger in measles is that it can lead to inflammation of the brain. As a consequence, often four to ten years later, after the outbreak of the disease, it can lead to inflammation of the entire brain, which inevitably leads to death. This disease called SSPE (Subacute Sclerosing Panencephalitis). Measles: How the disease looks like? Eight to ten days after infection, the initial stage begins with flu-like symptoms such as moderate fever, a runny nose, sore throat and dry cough. Add to that exhaustion, fatigue, head and stomach pain. Other signs of sensitivity to light, associated with a connective are skin inflammation, especially by watery eyes noticeable. From the second or third day, the so-called Koplik's spots occur on the buccal mucosa. This is white patches that resemble lime splashes and of a reddish courtyard are surrounded. On the third day the fever rises sharply, the whole of the mouth and throat mucous membrane is reddened skin. Towards the end of the Vorstadiums, it will take three to five days and drops the fever. Then the rash develops. The fever rises again steeply. The symptoms of the Vorstadiums be stronger. Usually the lymph nodes in the neck are swollen. With the fever, the rash occurs three to six mm wide, initially bright red stains, which flow into each other. Febrile seizures are relatively common. The Doctors advise to a laboratory diagnostic detection of antibodies by, for example, a throat swab or a blood test. How do you get measles? You will be infected by droplet infection, i.e. coughing, Sneezing or Speaking of another person who has the measles, as well as through contact with infectious secretions from the nose or throat, and conjunctiva of the eyes. Already in the preparatory phase with flu-like symptoms, the disease can be transmitted. Immediately before the rash appears, the infection is at its greatest. How long does the measles rash lasts? The rash appears first behind the ears. From there, it spreads over the face and the entire body. Only palms and soles are spared. The patches of color after a few days of dark, are brownish-purple, and four to seven days after, finally, in the same order. This is accompanied by a desquamation of the skin. In Parallel with the other complaints go back. The fever drops after five to seven days. The Infectivity begins four to five days before the outbreak of the rash, i.e. before the first symptoms. Only when the rash is completely gone, no longer applies to the Patient as infectious. Measles: How long will the recovery period take? The recovery period is lengthy, takes at least two to four weeks, and also leads to longer-lasting resistance reduction against many infections such as tuberculosis. The following complications can occur: lung, middle ear, and larynx, inflammation of the (relatively common - 20 percent to 25 percent) in 50 percent of cases, changes in the EEG of post-infectious measles is Feared encephalitis (after the measles infection occurring inflammation of the brain), with increasing age, more frequently - is the mortality rate at 30 per cent Due to the weakening of the immune system, the aforementioned complications can occur. What is the measles vaccine are there? The vaccine against measles is a live vaccine. He will be able to from attenuated measles virus to multiply, although, the disease but not the cause, and in chicken embryo cells are grown, manufactured. It is a matter of life-long immunity is expected but only after two times vaccination. The vaccines are administered in a combined composition with the Mumps - and rubella - as well as also in addition in combination with the varicella virus. Although we could exclude side effects never completely, says Karin Muller, head of the health office for the city and region of Kassel. But the vaccines were well tolerated. ""It can occur after vaccination fever, but it subsided after a day again"". Is the measles vaccine dangerous for Pregnant women? ""After a vaccination with a live vaccine, a pregnancy for one month should be avoided,"" says the Robert Koch Institute. In the case of many hundreds of documented vaccination during or shortly before pregnancy, no increased risk for congenital malformations was found. How is measles treated? Sufferers should keep in the acute Phase, not necessarily bed rest. A specific therapy does not exist. In the case of measles, only the symptoms can be treated - for example, antipyretic drugs and administer cough syrup, but not the disease itself to be fought . Who had the measles is immune? Yes, anyone who has survived the measles as a child or has been vaccinated, is usually to be life-long immune. Measles for adults are dangerous? They are just as dangerous as it is for children, mostly in the course of the disease is usually more severe and the adult patients often require a longer period of time, in order to be healthy again. Measles: you Can as an adult is subsequently vaccinated? Yes, anyone can do that, even an older person. Vaccination can be the GP or the respective health Department. A one-time vaccination against measles, the Robert-Koch Institute recommends for all adults that came after 1970 to the world. Who was born before 1970, very likely, the measles through the. At what age should be vaccinated? The first vaccination in children from the eleventh month of life possible, the second can already ended four weeks after the first vaccination no later than the full 23. Life month. Thus, the recommendation of the Standing Committee on vaccination (Stiko) is. Karin Muller, head of the health office for the city and County of Kassel, however, attention to the fact that children who attend before the eleventh month of the life of a day-care centre, can be vaccinated from the age of nine months. The second vaccination should be done at the beginning of the second year of life. Measles: Is made of 100 percent protection? No vaccine can guarantee 100 percent effectiveness. The two-time MMR vaccination prevents, however, according to information from the Robert Koch-Institut in 93 to 99 percent of the Vaccinated and the outbreak of a disease and usually leads to life long immunity. The Robert-Koch-Institut, based in Berlin, is a German Federal Institute for infectious diseases and non-communicable diseases. It has the health of the population and a Central research institution of the Federal Republic of Germany. Vaccination: anyone Who wants to protect themselves from measles, you should check their vaccination status. © Photo: Raffi Derian/Märkischer Kreis/nh Are the measles in Germany have to be reported? ""Measles infections must be reported to the health Department immediately,"" says Karin Muller, head of the health office for the city and region of Kassel. The staff of the health Department to investigate the case of Occurrence of the disease, which children are not vaccinated, and decide what measures need to be taken. May all the facilities need to be closed. One thing is clear: ""anyone Who is not vaccinated, do not need to stay at home, so that the disease spreads further,"" says Müller. Why doesn't the vaccination against measles and rubella in Germany and on duty? In Italy and France, a vaccination is. In Germany, it is set on a voluntary basis, says Karin Muller, head of the health office for the city and region of Kassel. The obligation to measles vaccination is to introduce in your eyes, in any case, if it is liable to come as currently in the Philippines to a mass spread of the disease. There are German kindergartens, where the measles vaccination is compulsory? Yes, in Essen, has decided to currently a private-run daycare, the ""children box"", to, from now on only children who have the vaccination or intended to receive, if you are old enough. In Kassel, Germany, this is not the case. But the parents need to demonstrate for registration in the urban and private organized facilities for children that you Vaccinate in terms of the respective children's doctor for advice. The professional Association of child and youth doctors calls for all public institutions, the compulsory vaccination.

In children, the vaccination status is checked during the preventive medical examinations by the treating paediatricians. In addition, the school evaluated the medical service of the health office at the school entrance tests, whether a child has sufficient protection. The following evaluation for the school year 2016/17 in the city Kassel: in the Kassel district of Philippinenhof and in Waldau, for example, the vaccination coverage is 100 per cent in the affluent district of Brassel mountain at only 73.5 per cent, A similar mixed across the district of Kassel: in Söhrewald and Reinhard Hagen, the vaccination rates are, for example, in the case of 100 percent in Schauenburg only 86.3% in Bad Karlshafen, only 77.3 percent immunization Coverage of 89.8 per cent for the two-time measles vaccination in Kassel children in the school year 2016/2017 is against the Background of the Impfziels the WHO of 95 percent is not satisfactory. In the district of Kassel, the ratio was in contrast to that, with 94.9 percent, almost at the finish line. How many measles cases were in the city and district of Kassel in the last few years? In 2017, there was, according to the health office of a case in the district of Kassel and in the city of Kassel. 2018 there were two cases in the district of Kassel, and a case in the city. None was fatal. ""We were lucky"", says Director Karin Müller. Measles: what is the Coverage for Germany? In contrast to countries with very high vaccination rates and correspondingly lower mortality rates (such as Finland, Sweden and the Netherlands), Germany, as well as several other West European States, vaccination rates in the countries with insufficient Measles. The introduction of the measles vaccination (GDR: 1970, West Germany in 1973) has led to a decline in measles disease. However, the Coverage is not available in all regions of Germany is sufficiently high at 95 percent, and a hearth protection training. However, the number of measles has decreased cases. In the year 2017, the Robert Koch Institute were sent to 929 measles cases, including one death. 41 percent of the patients were in the hospital. For 2018 500 measles cases were transmitted. How many measles cases were last in the States? Most of the measles disease occurred in North Rhine-Westphalia. In 2017, there were 520 cases and 2018, still 211 cases. Berlin and Saxony are in 2017, with 69 reported diseases in third place, but a year later, no such high case to pay more (Berlin: 30, Sachsen, 8). The same is true for Hesse, the 76 measles cases reported in the year 2017, but 2018 is only 25. In contrast, Bayern has 108 cases, more diseases in the year 2018 (2017 59). In Bremen, Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Thuringia and Saarland, the number of measles disease in the past two years low. Are measles spread in the whole world? Yes, measles are spread worldwide. Especially in Africa and Asia, the measles are among the ten most common infectious diseases. The proportion of fatal curves is particularly high. An estimated seven million people were affected in 2016 worldwide from measles. The vast majority (more than 95 percent) of measles deaths occur in poorer countries with deficient-developed health system. Measles are contagious for Pets such as dogs and cats? No, because man is the only host of measles virus. This means that measles can only be transmitted from person to person. Dogs and cats can become infected therefore. What the most common children's diseases? The are colds, says Karin Muller, head of the Kassel public health Department. Against measles, Mumps and rubella as well as chickenpox effective vaccinations are available. The classic children's diseases no longer are this is the reason why so often. Scarlet fever, caused by bacteria, you can develop against it several times. A vaccination is not possible here. Small children will also receive vaccinations against Tetanus, diphtheria, whooping cough, Hib (Haemophilus influenzae type b), polio, Hepatitis B, and meningococcal",839,"germany"
"2063","Measles has affected several French regions, and the rapid increase in the number of cases since the beginning of the year can be fear of a new large-scale epidemics on the entire territory. In this context, Public Health France recalls that vaccination with two doses is the only way to protect against the disease. After a decline between 2012 and 2016, the number of measles cases increases significantly from November 2017. The alert is issued by the health care agency Public Health France : his data show that between November and march, 913 cases have been reported in 59 counties, of which 50% in the region Nova-Aquitaine. Among them, 201 hospitalizations and one death in February have been observed, a woman of 32 years non-vaccinated. Close to 9 measles cases out of 10 are in effect ""occurred in people non-or incompletely vaccinated,"" says the agency, which refers to "" several outbreaks in this region as well as in other French regions. ""That is why this last reminds us of the need of vaccination coverage is very high in the population, but currently insufficient in infants, children and young adults : 79% on average with two doses of the vaccine instead of the 95% needed. ""To this day, no department reaches the 95% vaccination coverage at 2 years of age for both doses of measles-mumps-rubella (MMR), a rate required to allow eradication of the disease. With a vaccine coverage for the second dose varying from 62% to 88% according to the department, an extension of the epidemic at the national level in the coming months is therefore to be feared "", she says in a press release. A person can infect 15 to 20 people in such A collective protection would eliminate the disease and its complications, but also to protect the most fragile people that cannot be immunized (infants under one year, pregnant women, immunocompromised persons). ""It is therefore imperative that all individuals born from 1980 onwards have received two doses of the vaccine,"" says Public Health France, which calls on health professionals and early childhood to do so. In addition, it is requested to the patients to apply the measures barrier (crowding, wearing a mask) and prevention of their family, social and professional so that these people can verify that they are properly vaccinated. Measles is a highly contagious viral infection, for which there is no curative treatment. It is a disease that affects not only young children, but also teenagers and young adults. It is due to a respiratory virus which is transmitted through the projection of ""droplets"" from a cough and sneezing. The contagiousness of measles begins four days before the rash and lasts until four days after it. ""A person can infect 15 to 20 people "", according to the health agency. Since January 1, 2018, vaccination against measles is mandatory in infants, with up to seven other vaccines then recommended.",838,"france"
"3585","/dpa, Berlin – German society for General medicine and family medicine (DEGAM) rejects compulsory vaccinations for measles, ""because its Benefits are unclear and may not be suitable, the goal of higher vaccination rates"". The society wrote in a position paper on the topic. The main problem in Germany for a better herd immunity was less a conversion of the deliberately Unvaccinated, but the memory of those with missing measles-second vaccination and the Reach of the younger, inadequately vaccinated adults. The existing laws and structures were sufficient, but they need to be consistently implemented, so the DEGAM. Display In the case of a compulsory vaccination was also given the ""often ideological justifications of many Unvaccinated"" with resistors of Impfgegnern to. ""Family doctors are, however, dependent on a free relationship of trust, to be able to"" evidence-based ""advice"", argues the expert company. However, it makes clear that it is irresponsible to let children against measles should be vaccinated. ""This is antisocial towards children who cannot be vaccinated because of contraindications,"" says the paper. It is sanction measures by public bodies be open to, for example, of childcare centres and schools. The Problem with the vaccination rates of young adults supported the DEGAM with Numbers. The Robert Koch Institute (RKI) assume that at least 95 percent vaccination coverage for the second MMR or MMRV vaccination (measles, Mumps, rubella, if appropriate Varicella) in the population due to herd protection, an epidemic outbreak can be permanently interrupted, it is said in the paper. This goal of a double by vaccination of 95 percent is achieved by increasing Impfbereitschaft in children in the past few years, almost – but not quite–. The representative KIGGS-study show a 97,4 percent Rate for the measles-only vaccine and 93.6 percent for the measles-the second vaccination. ""The DEGAM positions itself explicitly against excitement, and alarmism in the public discussion, and appeals to a transparent presentation of the measles-incidence figures, which are currently within the long-term fluctuation"", the DEGAM. An insufficient Vaccination, a number of 20 - to 50-year-old adults, which accounted for about half of the Patients had it.

The announcement of the results of the analyses made by the region of Tuscany thus raise a corner of the mystery of this massacre. According to a study conducted between 2008 and 2018 by the regional Agency for environmental protection of Tuscany (Arpat), for an average of 18 cetaceans are found dead each year in this region, testifying to the exceptional nature of the current episode.

These products, including insecticides, such as DDT, attack their immune defense and facilitate disease development, explained the experts, cited in particular by the newspaper Il Fatto Quotidiano. The stomachs of dolphins that died were often left blank, showing that they had stopped feeding.

Such a country is unfortunately the current Republic. One need not look far to seek, but such centers as: Chief health Inspector, Ministry of Health, Ministry of Agriculture, Ministry of Environment, despite the fact that officially are branches of the government in Warsaw [G. Braun] work in his favor with his directives. I will not gołosłowny: Despite the fact that more than a quarter century it is known that pesticides cause harm to human health , none of these institutions is not responsible for monitoring these poisons in Poland. Please check the sites created and PAID for by the TAXPAYER, does not put the data from the studies of pollution of soil, water or foods with pesticides or herbicides. But it is known that, for example, such Randap, or glyphosate are carcinogens . Studies of the European Union has shown that glyphosate is even found in breast milk of women, pregnant or the urine of infants. Randap, is the trade name of the drug, which is also glyphosate. Randap much more toxic than glyphosate itself. Did ever anyone of these officials are paid by the taxpayer ch ever is interested in this truciem residents, between the Oder and bug? Have you ever any of the Ministers raised the issue of contamination of the population with pesticides or herbicides in General.? No! They only handelkiem vaccines! PLEASE CHECK THE PAGES OF ANY OF THESE MINISTRIES AND TRY TO FIND THE ANSWER TO WHY THE EUROPEAN UNION IS GLIFOSATEM AS A FACTOR, POTENTIALLY CARCINOGENIC, AND IN POLAND ON THIS SUBJECT REIGNS DEAD SILENCE ? In this situation, we have an unambiguous confirmation of the statements of Prime Minister R. Morawieckiego that Poland is the property of someone from the West, that is, the City of London Corporation. So after almost two years before that, said p. Minister for secret services, Poland is a state clear. If officials and whole institutes are engaged only ogłupianiem society, it is necessary to look, whom it makes a profit - so says the old Roman principle of a legal entity. Who make a profit, the mass vaccination of the population? In recent years, the epidemic information about the alleged increase in the incidence of measles. All kinds of the Polish edition of the German mass media owners under American leadership until 2099, paint and tell deathbed, which apparently have not been. And we have a problem. Obviously, after the announcement of these actors of the political scene, acting as representatives of the authorities of the Warsaw government that the methodological knowledge of these people is inversely proportional to the position. As for R. the Minister of Health , Mr. łukasz Szumowski, as the newly appointed GIS R. Jaroslav Pinkas, talk nonsense about measles, below the level of the average medical school. You might think that they are not thinking about their own, and that the same journalists these Polish language media, but no response offices allows with a probability of confidence to the conclusion that it is your own thoughts of the government representatives. As said p. Goebbels, any lie a thousand times repeat will be passed for the truth. Apparently, as reported by the media in Poland should be vaccinated for measles on approx. 800 000 children. Please, this is multiplied by approx. $ 100, that is the cost of MMR vaccine. This gives the sum of 80 000 000 rubles. So many want to withdraw from the Fund of obligatory medical insurance of the population. Therefore, more and more statements that taxes on insurance should be raised. Of course, the profit goes into the coffers of corporations, mainly in the city. Please check. If rozbiorcy, set in Poland, a tax of not more than 18 %, that created the City of London Corporation II Rzeczypospolita, immediately raise taxes to 37%. Evil Mr Hitler has lowered this tax to 33%, despite the war with the world. Why the so-called Communists are good raise taxes immediately after 1945, to more than 50%? After 1989, allegedly after a good changes, in General, the tax was raised to 80%. After all, no war with no one to lead! It's like you can still Rob a society? Of course, organizing ago society a virtual epidemic, and scaring them, trying to Rob companies, which under the influence of fear is exchanged their hard-earned money, power CITY. It is known that fear is the perfect way to Rob people. That is, they want to take over our Country. 80 million rubles, one MMR vaccine. Why did the MMR vaccine ? 1. Because it has been proven beyond any doubt, its connection with autism. Proof of this are studies somalijskie. In Somalia ever autism was not. Somalia was immunised with MMR. Only after they became refugees and came under the control of the United States and their system of vaccination, had a diagnosis – AUTISM. 2. Because it was proven in court, no scientific papers confirming the existence of the measles virus. Don't know of any case of R. L. Szumowskiego Lee, Y. Pinkas works udowadniającymi the existence of the measles virus. Unknown development R. Szumowskiego, or the Pinkas with the work indicating the safety and efficacy of vaccines to the Committee on Kennedy, for a prize of 100 000 dollars. Do You, ladies and gentlemen, they have too much money ? As you know, the speech of the Deputy of the WOLF, WHO PRESENTED the DOCUMENT , the letter of the Ministry of health, which is not IT works, indicating the effectiveness and safety of vaccines. 3. Because of the proven link between the MMR vaccine and autism , after odtajnieniu 1270 page report GSK , the manufacturer of the vaccine. Adopted the decision of the court on this issue, and the company should pay compensation. It's like myself to recapture the loss? Of course, after the trolls in other countries and growth in sales of this vaccine. Please note. In the famous debate of the Sejm, the Deputy of the Wolf, from the rostrum of the diet, reads a letter from the Minister of Health that the Ministry does not have any work indicating the effectiveness and safety of vaccines, and at the same time by the same person, that is, R. Szumowski, takes part in the campaign dezinformacyjnej of Polish society, on the necessity of vaccination and vaccine safety Measles? Meanwhile, the American system of control of complications after vaccination to VAERS, say from 2003 to 2016 as the 108 deaths after vaccination against measles and no measles after przechorowaniu. On what basis scientific basis of your statements piewcy wakcynologii? Incidentally, after vaccination, as reported by CNN News, based on the CDC report, prevalence of autism in the USA, where American children at 1: 59 of fertility. This is an increase of 15 % relative to 2016, and up to 150% relative to 2000. The Ministry of Health in Poland, monitoring the campaign to scare companies deathbed, he does so on the basis of 18 cases of this disease? I wonder why this sudden interest a disease that requires special treatment? These virtual epidemics arise not only in Poland. The funny thing is in a situation to scare parents, press reports, for example, in 2013, M. in medical bulletins, for example, the practice of Medicine [ the main sponsors are the manufacturers of vaccines such as GlaxoSmithKline or Paster} ,which is pleased with such names: ""the Increase in the incidence of measles in England"" , ""Epidemic measles in England"". And what was it? It turned out that 3 000 000 inhabitants of Wales, was recorded in March one case of measles . The remaining 8 cases were poorly diagnosed. At least, so said a hospital spokesman. It is officially confirmed by the press Secretary of the Ministry of public Health Wales. One recorded case in England, in Poland rose to the rank of an epidemic!! So you will see how very creative of bile are journalists and officials to pay theoretically, taxes companies. These headlines show clearly what an intellectual level residents are located between the Oder and bug. A lot of misinformation stems from the national Institute of Hygiene, since the renaming of the national Institute of Public Health, in the early 90-ies of the last century. In a strange way, this name is immediately reminiscent of the similar institution founded by Rockefeller. As you know, public house who will be a great business. For the biggest celebrities were in the ""theme"" measles, for example, R. Dr. Paul Grzesikowski, in private the President of the Foundation : ""Institute for the Prevention of Infections"". It's a ""family Fund"", because on the Board there is also his wife. As you know, the Foundation is the weight of property, and it is all about the owner of this mass. Fund this, turn the amount in the order of several hundred thousand, doing advertising of vaccines. The funding source of the Fund is unknown. The Fund is abusing the name” Institute”, because no studies does not, at least, there is no such publications. That it actually is the measles? As all that could hear with my own ears the statements of, for example, ex-Minister of Health R. Arłukowicza, knowledge on this topic among current and former officials, is very small. In such a conflicting situation, it is best to consult textbooks issued before the political changes, or in the first period, until politicians took over the restoration of science. So that measles we can find in textbooks designed for physicians and students ? At. The Oxford Manual of Diseases Testing since 1992, and therefore, issued to the press monopolizacją medical industry, we find the information: ""Measles is a viral disease – paramykowirus, which extends droplet infection, causing runny nose, weakness,rash.

According to his words, only 80 percent of the Romanians received the first of two by the world health organization, WHO, recommended doses of the vaccine, only 50 percent of a second vaccination.

In addition to measles, increase the risk for a brain disease only years after infection, and fatal ends. ""It is very rare.

Given the number of infections among the schools, the doctors had immediately got in touch with the leaders in order to be able to contact the classmates of the boys sick and figure out who had made the vaccine and who will not. To those who had not fate been offered the opportunity to immunize itself, given the high contagiousness of measles. Students sick, in fact, had not been subjected to vaccination as children. Of course, it is the focus of the health system in rimini, which is closely monitoring the situation to try to prevent the onset of the other cases. For one of the students was necessary, the patient is in the hospital because the disease has resulted in pneumonia. The young man is already improved after medical therapy. Among the people who contract the measles, there are also some adults. In the case of a woman of 50 years, she of Rimini, has made it necessary to stay in the hospital after the disease has caused, once again, pneumonia. It went a bit better than other sick people (it is a circle of family and friends) who have responded better to the disease and, at the time, have no signs of aggravation. Measles is a contagious disease, and potentially very serious, with an incubation period of about ten days. The initial symptoms are similar to those of a cold (dry cough, rhinitis, conjunctivitis) fever that gets higher and that you cannot eradicate. Subsequently, appear the white spots inside the mouth. After about three or four days, the godmother of the rash is characteristic, composed of small points of a lively red, which usually appear first behind the ears and on the face, then on all the rest of the body. This type of event has a duration that varies from four to seven days and starts to disappear from the neck. The transmission of measles is primarily by air through respiratory droplets that become airborne when a sick person coughs or sneezes. The contagiousness begins a few days before the onset of symptoms, is highest in period, fever (so about three days before the appearance of red dots), and it lasts up to five days after the rash. Can progress to pneumonia and, more rarely, in encephalitis, in the latter case, the consequences can be lethal.",826,"italy"

As stated in the bulletin of the European Regional Verification Commission for Measles and Rubella Elimination in the area that is part of the World Health Organization, the european union, the maximum number of cases in a year, between 2010 and 2017, was reached last year: they had been 23.927. But only in the first six months of this year, over 41 thousand people have been affected. Seven Countries out of 53 have passed the thousand cases: it is France, Serbia, Greece, Russia, Georgia, Ukraine and Italy. In our Country, last year were registered 5.408 cases, and only in the first six months of this year, of 2.029.

It is easy to catch the measles? ""It is one of the most contagious diseases: transmitted by proximity, through the respiratory tract. In the non-vaccinated population, an index case of measles can cause 15. The trouble is that, for example, only among the cases this year there have already been 4 deaths, and various complications"". Why is this epidemic? ""The current situation is a worrying indicator of a decline in the share of vaccinated. The median age of infected people is quite high: 25 years. Being the most contagious disease is the one which is most susceptible to a lowering of the proportion of vaccinated."" Italy is among the worst. Why? ""The decline in vaccinations has been very significant. In the other nations affected, in France, the socio-economic conditions are not so good. There was a combination of two factors: the fear of the vaccine and the perception that measles is a disease-trivial"". But it is not. ""No: in addition to the deaths, measles can cause encephalitis, brain damage, pneumonia. It is serious especially if it affects many people: how many more cases of the infection, the more numerous will be the complications"". He believes that the situation will return to a level more controllable? ""Outbreaks of measles have trends cyclical.

"3586","Already 170 measles cases registered with the Robert Koch Institute this year. In order to prevent a measles wave and eradicate the disease in the long term, the professional Association of child and youth doctors for years, a legal vaccination. A publicly-funded kindergarten should be able to visit children if they are vaccinated, the professional Association of child and youth doctors. Only in this way children are protected against measles and other infectious diseases. Spokesman Hermann-Josef Kahl commented for FOCUS Online, the major theses of the advocates of such a vaccination. Thesis 1: measles eradicated - the only way is with a vaccination. A mandatory vaccination has already contributed once to an infectious disease to eradicate. Until the 70s there was in Germany, a compulsory vaccination for smallpox. Now eradicated worldwide. Children's doctor, Hermann-Josef Kahl writes of vaccination a major role: ""In countries which have a mandatory vaccination or a national Impfregister lead, showing great success in the fight against infectious diseases."" Even measles could be completely eradicated when the largest part of the society is vaccinated. There are still too few people are adequately protected, looks Bald a mandatory vaccination as a last resort, the election: ""I am, in principle, legislation against paternalism, and such a law, but at the moment, it is now important to protect our children with a vaccination."" Hypothesis 2: parents often forget doctor's appointments - a vaccination would change that. Currently, 97 percent of all small children already have a first vaccination. The important second vaccination to get, however, are significantly less. This speaks for a General willingness to allow children to vaccinate. Kahl knows that from his practice: ""The biggest Problem is not the opponents, but parents who, for some reason, forget the deadline, or move, for example because the child is just sick, and then cannot make up for."" are He is convinced that parents keep only a legal obligation on such dates and in a timely manner perceive. Thesis 3: the risks of vaccinations are exaggerated. A vaccination can weaken the immune system and ensure that the disease to the Vaccinated is actually protected should be, breaks out in his body. This happens in the case of a measles vaccination, however, only in two percent of cases and often in an attenuated Form of the disease, so that only a fever or a slight rash persists. Serious side effects of vaccinations, such as diseases of the nervous system are much more rare. Nevertheless, opponents can win by bad reporting on the various sites the false impression that vaccinations are more dangerous than the diseases against which they protect. While statistics show an inverted picture: The danger of infectious diseases is much higher than the health risk of a vaccination. Measles can lead to meningitis, which can be fatal. Thesis 4: If children could self-determine, would you get vaccinated. A common Argument against General vaccination: the self-determination over their own bodies. However, most of the opponents are not making decisions about her own body, but about your child. Doctors recommend the measles vaccine in the first twelve months of life. Not this time, the child can not yet determine for itself whether it would like to be vaccinated against measles or not. Pediatrician Kahl reported: ""I experience again and again that children will want to go at the age of 15 years in my practice and have been vaccinated, because the USA is about to travel. Then vaccinations are caught up, suddenly frantic."" Young people who want to spend a year abroad in the USA, need to have certain vaccinations to be able to go to school. Not only, therefore, the question of whether parents actually act in the interests of your child if you refuse vaccines, categorically turns. Because of the extremely low risk of side effects due to vaccinations, the high health risk is a measles disease. The virus infection can have serious consequences, which did not occur until years after the disorder, such as inflammation of the brain. Thesis 5: vaccination of children who can't be vaccinated for medical reasons protects. Children with an immune deficiency, such as a leukemia disease, can not be vaccinated. The more important of the herd protection that would ensure a General compulsory vaccination is for you: Is vaccinated, the majority of the population, are also the ones protected, which for certain reasons were not Vaccinated.

From that, 46% belongs to Romania, 24% in Italy and nine percent at the picture in the UK. In the first two months of this year in Europe there were more than 1500 cases. From reports ECDC-a (European centre for disease prevention and control of diseases) it can be seen that in the last epidemijama Cory said in Europe, the most disturbing thing is that patients are not affected only young children, but, in fact, and older age groups.

People at increased risk of getting measles are those who are not fully vaccinated with two doses of the MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccine or who have not had measles in the past. The risk of infection remains for up to 21 days after contact with a case of measles.

The Department of Health gives the following advice in relation to the MMR vaccine:  All children should get the MMR vaccine when they are aged 12 months; if any child aged over 12 months has missed this vaccine they should get it now from their GP  All children should get a second dose of MMR vaccine when they are four to five years old or in junior infants at school; if any child in senior infants or older has missed this vaccine they should get it now from their GP  Adults under 40 years who have not had measles or have not received two doses of MMR vaccine should contact their GP to get the MMR vaccine  Adults over 40 years of age may sometimes be at risk and if such adults never had measles nor a measles containing vaccine they should consider getting the MMR vaccine from their GP  In recent years, the uptake rate for the MMR vaccine has remained quite stable – the uptake rate among children aged 24 months was 92% in the second quarter of 2018, unchanged from the same period last year.  Cotter said these figures are “good but not good enough”, adding that the goal is to reach at least 95%.  Don’t know if they got vaccine  Cotter said many of the adults who contracted measles “assumed they were immune” but “didn’t know if they had measles as child or didn’t know if they had the vaccine”.  “People frequently don’t have their vaccine records, there was no automated system in previous decades,” she said.  Cotter said some people’s parents “chose to delay vaccination years ago and then completely forgot about it”, adding: “Those individuals are really hard to identify.”  She noted that some individuals may have intended to get the vaccine but genuinely forgot and have the attitude of, ‘I’ve survived this long without having measles, do I need to worry about it now?’  Cotter said a minority of people may miss out on getting the vaccine if they “are moving address a lot and miss letters and appointment reminders”, adding that, anecdotally, this seems to be the case with some families who are homeless or at risk of homelessness and have to regularly relocate, meaning they have no stable address.  ‘Safe, effective vaccine’    Cotter said measles is a serious condition and advised people to get the vaccine.  “The MMR vaccine is a safe, effective vaccine. It definitely provides protection against measles, which can be a serious disease.  A substantial proportion of individuals with measles were hospitalised this year. It’s not a mild illness and can be quite severe.  If people think they may have measles, they should stay at home and phone their GP for advice.  People who are sick should not attend any congregated settings such as creche, school, work or religious gatherings until they have recovered from illness.  Measles symptoms include:  High fever  Cough  Runny nose  Red eyes  Red rash that starts on the head and spreads down the body – this normally starts a few days after onset of illness; the rash consists of flat red or brown blotches, which can flow into each other; it lasts about four to seven days  Vomiting, diarrhoea and tummy pain may also happen  Measures to prevent the spread of measles if you think you may have the condition:  Do not go to work, school or creche  Stay at home and phone your GP; tell the doctor or nurse that you think you might have measles  Stop visitors coming to your home  Pregnant women who have been exposed to measles should seek medical advice as soon as possible  Risk of measles from international travel:  There are ongoing outbreaks of measles in multiple countries in Europe and worldwide. Most of the cases in the EU in 2018 were reported from Romania, France, Greece and Italy.  Most people who get measles on holiday do not know they were exposed until they develop disease, the HSE said. Unrecognised exposures to measles have occurred at airports, on planes, at concerts, in shops and in healthcare settings.  Advice for people travelling abroad:  Vaccination remains the most effective measure against infection. Children aged six-11 months who are travelling to other countries and regions where measles outbreaks have been reported are recommended to get the MMR vaccine.  A dose given before 12 months of age does not replace the dose that would normally be given at 12 months of age, the HSE advised.  Older children should be age-appropriately vaccinated. Children who have missed their recommended doses should get the MMR vaccine from their GP.  Adults may be at risk of measles, particularly those under 40 years of age who have never had measles or two doses of a measles vaccine.  Complications of measles:  Measles can cause chest infections, fits (seizures), ear infections, swelling of the brain and/or damage to the brain.  Measles is a notifiable disease and GPs and hospital clinicians should immediately notify public health authorities if they suspect someone has measles.",814,"ireland"

Measles in Romagna Between the territories most affected in the Region in 2019, there are the provinces of Rimini and Ravenna, with respectively 40 and 27 cases reported up to October 1, 2019. Some people are sick of returning from trips abroad, while most of the people has contracted the disease in the places of life and work with the development of several outbreaks territorial (most cases associated with them). The cases of measles that were recorded in Rimini and Ravenna are very different between them, in particular, for the average age of the people involved, the more low in Rimini (22 years) and highest in Ravenna (am 37yo). Ravenna 24 cases out of 27 have involved persons with more than 25 years (range 25-54 years) and 2 children under one year of life have been infected when still could not be vaccinated.

Also in the outbreak of Rimini has been involved for a person to not vaccinabile to the state of immunosuppression, The characteristics of the people involved in the two territories reflect the vaccine coverage of the two provinces. Where a high vaccination coverage in childhood, cases of measles involving mainly adults between 30 and 50 years, a population group that has not been, up to now, the recipient of the vaccination campaigns specific for the measles. In the territory of Rimini, where they fell, over the years, vaccination coverage for measles, the cases have involved mainly children, and young people not vaccinated in childhood. The number of the outbreak of rimini was fostered not only by the high number of people not protected in the territory, but also by the frequent refusal of vaccination post-exposure, measures of prophylaxis, if performed within 72 hours of exposure can prevent the disease in 90% of cases.

"5606","THE measles VIRUS is like the 'reset' key to our immune system: it clears the memory sweeping away up to 73% of the antibodies that defend you from other diseases like influenza, herpes, and pneumonia. This 'amnesia ' immune', that can last months, has been documented for the first time in a group of 77 Dutch children's non-vaccinated, at the centre of two international studies published in the journals Science and Science Immunology.As pointed out by the same researchers, the results demonstrate that ""measles is more dangerous than we imagined"" and that ""the vaccine has benefits even greater than expected"", since that can also protect from secondary infections to the disease. Their vaccination has broken down to 80% of the cases of measles in the world between 2000 and 2017, saving 2.1 million of lives, but because of the most recent campaigns, no-vax, the trend was reversed, so that the number of cases from 2018 to the present day is increased by 300%. Also Italy is experiencing this phenomenon: according to the latest report of the Institute of Health, are 1.596 cases of measles reported from the first of January to the 30 of September 2019, with death from respiratory complications in an adult of 45 years old is not vaccinated and with concomitant diseases. Assess the impact of vaccination was the aim of the study was published on Science from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute in Boston with the Harvard Medical School and the Erasmus University Medical Center Rotterdam. The researchers used the test VirScan to analyze children's blood and measure the levels of thousands of antibodies directed against viruses and bacteria. The examination, made before the measles, and two months after the infection, revealed that the disease clears from 11 to 73% of the defenses antibody. The same test is repeated on the macaques first of the measles and five months after the infection, has confirmed the loss of 40-60% of the antibodies.Complementary results were obtained from the second study, published in Science, Immunology from the british Wellcome Sanger Institute with the University of Amsterdam. Always conducted on the same group of 77 children protestant orthodox non-vaccinated, shows that the measles due to the loss of specific cells of the immune memory, leaving the children vulnerable as infants are unable to respond to new infections. The effects of this temporary amnesia immune responses have been tested on ferrets vaccinated against the flu: a time affected by the measles have lost most of their antibodies, so as to become again susceptible to the flu, with symptoms even more severe. This proves, therefore, that measles can also erase the effects of the vaccinations done against other infectious diseases, and therefore, the researchers suggest doctors to strengthen the defences of the patients healed from measles by the recalls of the vaccines routinely administered previously.",810,"italy"
"31812","Babies under one year of age who travel to countries of the European Union such as France, Germany, Italy, Uk, Greece or Romania should get vaccinated against the measles due to the ""dramatic"" epidemic that are suffering from these areas and that children of that age still have not received the immunization. The measles vaccine is included in mmr (along with mumps and rubella) given to babies for the first time to meet the 12 months, so that before this age children are not immunized against this contagious disease, whose complications can be serious and even fatal. In a statement, the secretary of the Advisory Committee of Vaccines of the Spanish Paediatrics Association (AEP), Francisco José Alvarez, has recommended that all children between 6 months and a year traveling to these countries to attend to your pediatrician to advance the administration of the vaccine. ""Now in Europe we have a epidemión of measles terrible"", which affects countries that tend to be holiday destination chosen by many Spanish families so that, ""if it is strictly necessary to travel to those places"" with children under the age of 1 year and older than 6 months (before you can not administer the vaccine) ""it is recommended to advance the triple viral"". What shots there are to take into account? Measles is a disease infectious-contagious own childhood caused by a virus, and the sign most typical is the appearance of spots Koplik spots (of bright red colour, centred by a white dot), high fever and cough very persistent, among others. The disease can be complicated especially affecting the respiratory system with laryngitis, bronchitis, bronchopneumonia and even pneumonia (in 6% of cases), which is the complication associated with increased mortality. The measles is not the only vaccine that must take into account the parents who want to travel abroad with their children under the age of 3 years. In the case of visiting countries outside of Europe or the US, Álvarez, recommended to visit between one and two months before the trip to the pediatrician and a Center of International Vaccination, where parents can receive information about the vaccines that should be administered to minors. Thus, the hepatitis A vaccine, which is not included in the vaccination calendar in Spanish, is required for travel to all countries that are not in the Western Europe, the area of Japan and Korea, Australia and the USA, and you can put it after a year. The risk of acquiring hepatitis A is ""very high"" in certain areas if you consume contaminated food or water, he warned. To travel to those same countries is also recommended the vaccine for typhoid fever that, in this case, cannot be given until two years of age. Has remembered, also, that the malaria, or malaria, is prevalent in many areas and, to prevent it, you should take a series of medications that, in some cases, may also be delivered from the two years. Álvarez has also referred to the yellow fever epidemic that suffers from Brazil and some african countries and that also can be avoided with a vaccine from 9 months of age. In the case of Asia, especially Japan and southeast asia, there is a disease called japanese encephalitis, which has also with vaccine. The secretary of the Advisory Committee of Vaccines of the AEP has warned, however, that persons under the age of 2 years old should not travel to tropical countries of South america, Asia and Africa as in these places there are many communicable diseases that do not have a vaccine to prevent its spread.",809,"spain"

Advertisement  Anyone who has been exposed and is not immune to measles (either through natural infection or MMR vaccination) may develop measles up to three weeks following date of exposure.  Measles is highly contagious and is spread easily. The time between exposure to measles and developing the rash is usually 14 days (range 7-21 days). People are infectious from 4 days before rash starts until 4 days after.  Symptoms include: high fever, cough, runny nose, red eyes and a red rash that starts on head and spread down the body. The rash, which normally starts a few days after onset of illness, consists of flat red or brown blotches, which can flow into each other. It lasts about 4-7 days.  Vomiting, diarrhoea and tummy pain may also occur.  Anyone who develops measles symptoms should stay at home from work or school; call the Department of Public Health at 061 – 483338 to advise that you think you or your child may have measles; contact your GP to see you at a time/place when no one else is there.  Your GP may organise a test to confirm the diagnosis – this is usually done by using a small swab that takes a sample of the oral fluid from the mouth.  According to the HSE, the best protection against measles is to be fully vaccinated with two doses of the MMR (Measles-Mumps-Rubella) vaccine. All children should get MMR at 12 months of age and the second dose at four to five years of age. If your child missed their scheduled MMR vaccine, you should contact your GP to get the age appropriate dose.  People most at risk are those who either have not had measles infection or are not fully vaccinated with two doses of MMR vaccine such as babies younger than 12 months who are too young to be vaccinated, and those with weakened immune systems.

The world health Organization reported 89.994 cases of measles in 48 european countries in the first half of 2019, more than double compared to the same period of last year (44.175), and already more than for the entire year 2018 (84.462). “The resumption of the transmission of measles is a serious problem. If we are unable to establish and maintain high vaccination coverage in every community, children and adults will experience unnecessary pain and suffering, and some will be doomed to a tragic death,” said Günter Pfaff, the president of the regional Commission of verification of elimination of measles and rubella. “An alarm bell to the whole world” On the basis of figures for 2018, the disease is no longer considered ”eliminated” in the United Kingdom, Greece, Czech Republic and Albania. For WHO, the status of”removal” corresponds to the absence of continuous transmission for 12 months in a particular geographic area. In the Uk, 953 cases have been reported in 2018 (489 since 1 January 2019), while 2.193 have been recorded in Greece (28), 1.466 in Albania (475), and 217 in the Czech Republic (569). “Each of these countries is an example of a national immunisation coverage is extremely high. It is not, therefore, examples of countries whose systems (health) are particularly weak,” noted Kate O'brien, the director of the department of Immunization, WHO. “I think it is an alarm bell to the world: it is not enough to achieve a national coverage high, it must be done in every community and in every family,” she added. Least 19 years of age the most affected, a Highly contagious and may lead to severe complications, including fatal cases (37 cases in Europe in the first half and 74 in 2018), measles is usually spread by direct contact or through the air, infecting the respiratory tract, then spreads throughout the body. In Europe, the majority of those affected were under the age of 19 years (60% of cases). In the first half of 2019, 78% of the cases were recorded in four hotbeds of contagion : Kazakhstan, Georgia, Russia and Ukraine, which alone comprises 60% of the cases. Measles was declared eliminated in 35 of the 53 countries that comprise the region. They were 37 in 2017. It is endemic in 12 countries, including France and Germany, countries in which the vaccination will become mandatory from march 2020.

There is no curative treatment for measles, but it can be prevented by two doses of a vaccine, according to WHO, which estimates that more than 20 million the number of deaths prevented in the world between 2000 and 2016, thanks to the vaccination. At the scale of the planet, the amount of cases reported has been multiplied by three between the period from 1 January to 31 July 2018 (129.239) and the first seven months of this year (364.808). The greatest number of cases have been recorded in the democratic Republic of the Congo, Madagascar, and Ukraine. The United States have identified their highest number of cases of measles in 25 years. The “anti-vax” in part because The WHO estimates that less than one in ten cases is reported in the world, which means that the magnitude of the epidemic is much larger than the official statistics. The specialized agency of the UN considers that in reality there are approximately 6.7 million deaths each year measles-related, said Kate O'brien. This disease re-appeared a little everywhere in the world because of poor access to care or a distrust of vaccines. Until 2016, it was yet in decline. In western countries, the “anti-vax” claim that there is a link between the measles vaccine and autism. More than once, WHO has debunked this theory, based on a study falsified.",803,"france"

"5603","Since 2000, the increased use of vaccines has led to a huge reduction in measles deaths, which declined by approximately 80% in the around the world. However, the situation is less rosy than considering a more recent period: in 2017, in fact, there has been a new surge in deaths due to infectious disease, mainly due to the slowdown in vaccinations. To reveal these conflicting data is the report on ‘Progress in the elimination of measles’, published in the journal of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The benefits of the vaccination coverage As pointed out recently by the Eu commissioner for health Vytenis Andriukaitis, the vaccination coverage should be the main objective for each country, in order to eliminate measles in Europe by 2020. At the global level, the coverage of the first dose of the vaccine to combat the disease is passed from 72% to 85% between 2000 and 2017, a figure that has led to a reduction of 83% in the cases found each year, that would now just 25 per million inhabitants. Similarly, the annual mortality has fallen by 80%, a figure that according to experts, it translates into approximately 21.1 million deaths avoided, especially in Africa. 2017 and 2018, a record for infections, However, progress would be stopped in 2016, the year in which the vaccination coverage has continued to increase. From that moment on, the spread of the measles has started to grow gradually, especially in America, Europe and in the eastern Mediterranean, a trend that has led in 2017, an increase both in deaths, an increase of 30%, which in cases of infection ( 31%). The bulletin issued by the World Health Organization reported more than 41,000 cases registered in the whole Europe only in the first six months of 2018, exceeding the 2017, in which he had already achieved the record of infections by 2010. Precisely in the light of a worrying situation, Andriukaitis said, turning to Italy: ""the time Has now come to a simple request to the company, you want to rely on fake news and theories that are misleading or are you ready to save the lives of children’.",802,"italy"

There are many cases of children who, in the previous period hospitalized with complications from measles, in the Intensive care Unit of a large hospital of Athens. The doctors, in many cases, proactively decide the introduction of the children in intensive care short of hospitalization in order to prevent complications. There are reports of a child who developed encephalitis, which is one of the most serious complications of measles and another child who was hospitalized with a rarer complication.

Since the 1960s, there are effective, safe and inexpensive vaccination against the highly contagious disease. However, after decades of decline in measles cases around the world. In Europe In 2018, more than 82 000 people, the highest number in ten years ill. In Germany the disease have decreased numbers in the last few years, but it always comes back to major outbreaks. 2018 were reported in the Federal Republic of 543 cases, the Per-head Rate was highest in North Rhine-Westphalia, Bavaria, Baden-Württemberg and Berlin. Earlier this year, 288 cases were registered. Why to take the infections again? Responsible for the Impfskepsis, which has now reached such proportions that the WHO is announcing the beginning of the year as one of the ten greatest threats to global health in the first place. That people refuse the immunization, has many causes and is not a new phenomenon. But, today, views, emotions can spread, as well as conspiracy theories around vaccination ""never-before-seen distances with a remarkable pace,"" wrote the London-based anthropologist Heidi Larson, a few days ago in the journal Science. False information, and thus develop a dangerous momentum. The result is The protective shield against infectious diseases, those achievement which owes the world billions Vaccinated, is permeable. In the case of measles, the protection is complete when at least 95 percent of the people are vaccinated. In many countries, this value is not reached. In Germany, just under 93 percent currently have received the necessary two doses of the vaccine. How likely is a vaccination is? The vaccination of the policy, debated for years. Currently, however, it looks as if it not only remains in the debate. A concrete step of the Brandenburg Landtag went on Friday. The deputies voted by a majority that the Potsdam government is creating the conditions to have a measles vaccination for kindergarten children to introduce. Also in North Rhine-Westphalia is aiming for a measles vaccination. Family Minister Joachim Stamp (FDP), told the Rheinische Post on Saturday: ""I am in favour of a General vaccination - this also applies to kindergartens. How we implement it there, we will check."" In Hamburg, the CDU calls for vaccination of all city employees who work with children. In addition, the visit to a daycare center should be the only ""properly proven vaccination status"" is possible. Federal health Minister Jens Spahn favored the compulsory vaccination. It is possible that he is presenting in the coming weeks a draft law. Federal Minister of family Affairs Franziska Giffey (SPD), supported the project. However, before a whole series of individual questions need to be clarified, for example, the circumstances under which exceptions permitted could be. Is complicating the situation is the fact that the vaccine against measles is usually only used in combination with vaccines against rubella and Mumps available for the time being, apparently, no vaccination is planned. Why is measles dangerous? Measles are one of the most contagious diseases. The Virus is transmitted during coughing, Sneezing, and Talking. About 90 percent of all non-immune people who come in contact with a person Infected with a contagion. More than 95 percent of them develop symptoms. Typically fever first of all, conjunctivitis, coryza, cough, and whitish patches on the oral mucosa. About three to ten days after the onset of the disease occurs, the characteristic measles rash: brownish-pink spots that begin on the head and then over the body spread. Are feared of the complications, including inflammation of the middle ear, the lungs and the brain. Brain inflammation occurs in one in 1000 Patients and can be fatal or leave permanent damage. At about 4 to 11 per 100 000 Patients, there is a neurological late complication: The so-called subacute sclerosing Panencephalitis (SSPE) is a brain inflammation years after the infection can occur and results in death. What are the plans for the elimination of measles? With the help of the vaccination, the disease could be defeated.

"3589","/Astrid, guest, stock adobecom Berlin – After criticism of the world health organization (WHO) to Impfgegnern a new push for a mandatory vaccination in Germany comes from the SPD-health politician Karl Lauterbach. ""I am in favour of when such a dangerous disease like the measles is a vaccination,"" said Lauterbach in the world. He will advertise for the Federal Minister of health, Jens Spahn (CDU) for a new discussion on the need for a mandatory vaccination, ""as the previous campaigns for voluntary vaccination, as not sufficiently have proved"". Opponents would put ""in an irresponsible manner, the health of very many people"" in the game, criticized Lauterbach. The measles were a dangerous disease and could continue to spread if the vaccination rates would not be increased. Display Restrained, the health expressed a political spokeswoman of the parliamentary group, Karin Maag (CDU). Although she, too, sees opponents as ""a major health risk"". But before it could be discussed in Germany, a vaccination, it must be examined what are the experiences in Italy and France were made after the local introduction of a vaccination for measles. ""If it turns out that the two countries have successes through vaccination, we should also discuss in Germany about a vaccination,"" said Maag. The Union expert at the same time expressed concerns. Short or long term, a statutory mandatory vaccination would land before the Federal constitutional court, said Maag. For the prevention of measles, a lot has already been done. So unvaccinated children should be excluded for a time from the daycare to visit and parents would have to pay in the case of a refusal of the vaccination advice high fines. Green lean vaccination from the Green are faced with a mandatory vaccination negative. In the view of health expert, Kordula Schulz-ash must be placed on consultation rather than on compulsion and sanctions. A compulsory vaccination was discussed in Germany already repeatedly, especially after regional severe measles outbreaks. While pediatricians have been demanding for a longer a compulsory vaccination, the Federal government, yet skeptical. Spahn himself had rejected a few years ago, at the time, as CDU health expert, a mandatory vaccination in General. The world health organization had counted the lack of Impfbereitschaft recently to the at present largest risks to health in the world. You threaten to make progress in the fight against diseases, to destroy the be by Vaccination preventable. The improvement of the Impfbereitschaft, therefore, according to the WHO, one of the priority objectives for the coming years. As a further relevant dangers for the health of the people in the world WHO sees the air pollution, the spread of antibiotic-resistant germs, the obesity epidemic and the Emergence of dangerous pathogens such as Ebola. Vaccinations annually two to three million deaths prevent according to the WHO. A further 1.5 million could be added if more people around the world would be vaccinated. The reasons for Here be many and varied. With simple negligence, to vaccines difficult access or lack of confidence included. What consequences could that have, show the example of measles: Worldwide, the number of cases in the year 2017 is increased by 30 percent compared to the previous year. Also, in some countries, which had already been on the verge of extinction of the disease, there are more cases. Came to a rise in measles cases recently in the WHO European Region: There in 2017 23.927 people are ill – 2016, there were only 5.273. In Germany, too, there are always outbreaks, annual case numbers vary considerably. In the current year, WHO want to promote, among other things, the control of cervical cancer through an extension of the HPV vaccination progress. The eradication of Polio in Afghanistan and Pakistan was an important destination. For children especially important To the special Benefit of vaccination, the Foundation of children's health indicated today. ""Vaccinations are one of the biggest Successes of the medicine of our time,"" says their Chairman, Berthold Koletzko. ""It is thanks to vaccination that many of the horrors of earlier child years have become so rare. Modern vaccines are well tolerated and protect children from serious infectious diseases,“ he said. The Foundation illustrates the Benefits of the vaccinations on the example of the chicken pox: Since 2004, this vaccination vaccination is one of the Permanent vaccination Commission STIKO recommended protection. Previously, the vaccine had been rates only for special risk groups, for example, for children with a damaged immune system. The decision proved to be highly useful for the Generation of children born since then, according to the Foundation. The frequency of complications had been researched around the turn of the Millennium intensive. The research showed that a ""completely harmless"" disease is not the speech could be: So it came to about 16 percent of the patients to a severe course of the disease. The complication rate was 5.7 percent. Lung inflammation were common, It was mainly to so-called bacterial super-infections: The children's to scratching with dirty fingernails to the itchy blisters and it comes to additional inflammation by bacteria. ""Pneumonia is a relatively common, encephalitis is a rare complication of a chicken pox infection,"" the Foundation for children's health. The STIKO recommended a General vaccination of all children led to the Foundation that already after a few years, a significant decrease in the illnesses and complications. The number of doctor's office reported chicken pox cases declined from April 2005 to March 2012 to 85 percent, from an average of 4 to 0.6 cases per month and practice.

In more than 3 out of 10 cases, patients have had at least one complication, and 4 out of 10 have required hospitalization. From monitoring, published on the portal of the Ministry of Health, it emerges that in the period from the first of January 2017 16 April, there were 1603 the people who contract the measles (sixteen only in the last week): in 88 percent of cases these people were never vaccinated, 34 percent have had at least one complication (such as diarrhea, pneumonia, otitis, hepatitis, respiratory failure, decreased platelets). Rare, instead, cases of encephalitis (0.1 percent), and seizures (0.3 percent).

Those who survive may be deaf, blind or with brain damage is irreversible. They have been reported outbreaks of measles, “global”, and “all regions”. The problem is that “the coverage of the measles vaccine is not suitable for the prevention of the outbreak”, in which she interprets the world health organization.

"584","Before the upsurge of measles cases in Europe and in the world, the revolt against the antivaccins begins to be heard. Measles is gaining ground in Europe. By 2018, the number of infections has almost quadrupled, from 21.315 to 82.596 case, is it clear the numbers from the world health Organization (WHO). However, Belgium seems to better contain the disease : she had last year 120 contaminations, compared to 369 in 2017. Ukraine is by far the most affected country, with more than 53,000 cases of measles. Following Serbia (5.076), Israel (2.919), France (2.913), Italy (2.517), Russia (2.256), Georgia (2.203) and Greece (2.193). The number of infections is reached in Europe to their highest level of the decade. Last year, 72 people (adults and children) have died of this disease in Europe, says WHO. This is asked while ever so many children have been vaccinated against measles, according to the world organization. But the progress is unevenly distributed between the countries, leaving large groups without protection. WHO is calling on european countries to redouble their efforts in the fight against measles. ""The situation of the 2018 clearly shows that the current pace of progress is insufficient to halt the spread of measles,"" warned the regional director of WHO, Zsuzsanna Jakab. Anger is rising against the antivaccins At this time, epidemics of measles occur a little everywhere in France, as in Val Thorens (39 cases), or in a school in biel / Bienne (12 cases). ""Poor children, victims of the occult anthroposophical from their parents,"" commented one internet user on Twitter. The virologist Marc Van Ranst, too, expressed his disagreement with this ""movement antivaccin"" that is gaining momentum. ""Congratulations, antivaccins !, exclaimed he, with irony on the social networks. Your dream has become a reality : this is what happens everywhere when people will stop vaccinating their children, because they listen to your words insane, and put your life in danger.

"14215","In January February 1959 there was a measles epidemic in the UK, 41,000 cases. No one died according to the British Medical Journal and there were very few complications associated with the infection. My best friend Joey and I avoided catching it in that epidemic even though our parents tried, as it was believed and supported by medical opinion that measles infection strengthened ones immune system. It was also easier to have measles as a child.  It was 1964 before I contracted measles as did all my friends and my sister. By then, I was living with my Granny in Carrick on Suir, Ireland. The school was closed for a week, Dr O Brien was busy, he come over to check on me and Eleanor. I had a rash on my body, a temperature for a few days and did not like bright light. I remember all the visitors from parents with children who had not had measles. Measles is the most infectious virus knows to man and if your immune system does not have antibodies to resist it, you will be infected no matter how healthy you are.  How your body copes with the measles infection does depend on your state of health and after a week off, we were all back at school without any problems as were all the other children at our school. The picture was taken the day we went back, I remember it well because a boy split his head on the railings in the playground and had to be taken to the hospital. My parents did not travel back to visit us while we were ill, they were not unduly concerned about the infection, which was seen as a “normal childhood infection” much the way chickenpox is today. This is how measles was viewed and portrayed on TV when I was a child a mild infection with comical implications.  So what has changed that after a measles outbreak in the US in 2019 which infected only 700 people, caused such mass hysteria, that politicians are considering introducing “mandatory Vaccination” again. Smallpox vaccination were compulsory in UK until the Vaccination Act, 1907 was passed. Under this law, parents escaped penalties for the non-vaccination of children if within four months from the birth they made a statutory declaration that they confidently believed that vaccination would be prejudicial to the health of the child. There is no doubt vaccines reduce the incidence of infection in a community, how that vaccine will affect the well being of each individual child in that community is not known and there lies the problem for parents.  In a communist country like Cuba where “community” takes precedence over the individual, I can understand the desire to embrace vaccination programmes. For Matt Hancock a conservative minister to suggest it in a country, where tax cuts mean, take precedence over health services and economic growth is more important than the exponential rise in type 2 diabetes, or the thousands are killed by air pollution every year, is harder to understand. There were 966 cases of Measles in the UK last year and no one died or suffered serious complications.  Poland does have mandatory vaccinations, it was part of the former Soviet Union guided public health system. The early years of the Soviet regime witnessed some of the worst epidemics in Russia history, which predominantly damaged the poor. In response, Lenin would write in 1920: “All of our determination and experience must apply to combating epidemics. Mass vaccination campaigns emerged in the Soviet Union, as the political leadership, used immunization programs to redefine political legitimacy and state authority. In a society in which public well-being, especially regarding diet and housing, often mattered little, the Soviet government mounted repeated vaccination campaigns that were often carried out in a highly coercive manner.  The reaction to this latest measles outbreak is not that different from the outbreak in 2015 where there were 175 cases and the authorities managed to link one death to the virus, even though the individual did not develop signs and symptoms of measles. She had underlying health problems and had been vaccinated against measles as a child. If a child dies after receiving a vaccine, the cause of death is usually described as a coincidence or if the baby was asleep “sudden Infant death syndrome”? If they had measles its the measles that killed them rather than an inability to deal with a viral infection.  The change in attitude towards measles in the medical literature seems to have started in the 60s after the first trial of a live attenuated measles vaccine was undertaken by David Morley. In 1961 The British Medical Journal began reporting there were 98 “associated” deaths in the 1959 epidemic and how a vaccine was in development. A vaccine was developed for use in 1963 and by 1964 the reporting of the virus in medical journals changed dramatically and from no complications, the British Medical Journal was reporting, a serious complication in one of every 15 cases and deaths associated with measles infection.  To put this in context its necessary to look at the history of measles and remember that for thousands of years humans have evolved being exposed to measles infection, which was shown to be deadly to many when introduced to indigenous people for vaccine experiments in 1968 Measles has been blamed, in part, for decimating native populations of the Americas as Europeans explored the New World. The process of “natural selection”, means humans adapted and became better able to tolerate the infection over time.  In 340, Chinese alchemist Ko Hung described the difference between smallpox and measles; a Christian priest, Ahrun, did the same in Egypt about 300 years later. In 910, the Persian physician Rhazes published the most widely celebrated early diagnoses of the two diseases.  In 1492: Christopher Columbus and his fellow European explorers arrived in the Americas, bringing a raft of deadly diseases including measles with them. Native Americans had no natural immunity to many of these diseases. Measles, smallpox, whooping cough, chicken pox, bubonic plague, typhus and malaria. Already dangerous and often deadly in Europe became even more efficient killers in the New World. By some estimates, the Native American population plunged by as much as 95% over the next 150 years due to disease.  1824-48: As was the case with many diseases, measles’ risk to Pacific Islanders was particularly dangerous in the 19th century as traders and travelers crisscrossed the globe. In 1824, Hawaii’s King Kamehameha II and Queen Kamamalu traveled to London to meet King George IV, but instead swiftly contracted measles and both died within a month. The virus, struck Hawaii in 1848, killing up to a third of the native population. In 1875 The HMS Dido brought measles to Fiji, killing 20,000 people up to a third of the island’s natives.  In 1912 the United States government required physicians to start reporting measles cases, which gave researchers a precise grasp of the disease’s widespread impact inside the country. Almost all people caught measles at some point in their life – mostly when young – and the outcome could be deadly. A study in the U.S. from 1912 to 1916 found 26 deaths for every 1,000 measles cases. However as the graph below demonstrates, improved living standards meant mortality rates associated with measles had reduced dramatically by the time the vaccine was first used in 1963. A similar decline happened with all infectious diseases including scarlet fever, which is very rare in 2019 and there is no vaccine for scarlet fever.  To understand how clinical science worked, before statistics from the pharmaceutical industry trumped a practitioners experience. I recommend a visit to the Welcome Trust Library to look through old issues of the British Medical Journal covering this period. During the first two months of 1959 there was a measles epidemic 41,000 cases reported, this was how The British Medical Journal covered the epidemic.  Br Med J 1959;1:351.2 (Published 07 February 1959)  In the first three weeks of this year about 41,000 cases of measles were recorded in England and Wales. This is well above the corresponding figures of the last two years – namely, about 9,000 in 1958 and 28,000 in 1957 – though it is below the highest levels reached in the last nine years. To give some idea of the main features of the disease as it appears today and of how it is best treated, we invited some general practitioners to write short reports on the cases they have seen in their practices recently.  These appear at p.380. It is interesting to note, first, that the distribution of the disease is rather patchy at present. It has not yet reached the areas where two of these doctors practice (in South Scotland and Cornwall), and other areas are known to be free of the disease so far. On the other hand, in Kent it is reported to have arrived in time to put the children to bed over Christmas. These writers agree that measles is nowadays normally a mild infection, and they rarely have occasion to give prophylactic gamma globulin. As to the treatment of the disease and its complications, the emphasis naturally varies from one practice to another. Amount of bed-rest, when to administer a sulphonamide or antibiotic, the use of analgesics and linctuses – all these may still be debatable problems in the treatment of what is said to be the commonest disease in the world. But there is probably much in the opinion which one of the writers expresses: “It is the frequent visiting by the interested clinician and not the therapy which produces the good results.”  REPORTS FROM GPs Page 380 (link to this page) Br Med J 1959;1:380 (Published 07 February 1959)  Dr G.L Watson (Peaslake, Surrey) writes:  Measles was introduced just before Christmas by a child from Petworth …….  Treatment of Attack . – No drugs are given for either the fever or the cough; if pressed, I dispense mist. salin. B.N.F. as a placebo. Glutethimide 125 mg. may be given in the afternoon if the child is restless when the rash develops; 250 mg. in single or divided doses at bedtime ensures a good night’s sleep in spite of coughing. I encourage a warm humid atmosphere in the room by various methods: some electric fires and most electric toasters allow an open pan of water to rest on top; an electric kettle blows off too much steam to be kept on for more than short periods. Parents, conscious of the need to darken the room and to forbid reading, …………They are allowed up when the rash fades from the abdomen-usually the fourth or fifth day-and may go outside on the next fine day. Apart from fruit to eat, solid food is avoided on the day the rash is appearing; fruit drinks or soups are all they appear to want.  Complications . – So far few complications have arisen. Four cases of otitis media occurred in the first 25 children, but only one had pain. No case of pneumonia has occurred, but one child had grossly abnormal signs in the chest for a few days after the fever subsided, uninfluenced by oral penicillin. One girl had a tear-duct infection and another an undue blepharitis. Of three adult males with the disease, two have been more severely affected than any of the children.  Dr. R. E. HOPE SIMPSON (Cirencester, Glos) writes:  We make no attempt to prevent the spread of measles, and would only use gamma globulin to mitigate the severity of the disease in the case of the exposure of a susceptible adult or child who is already severely debilitated. Bed rest, for seven days for moderate and severe cases and of five to six days in mild cases, seems to cut down the incidence of such complications as secondary bacterial otitis media and bronchopneumonia.  Page 381  Dr. JOHN FRY (Beckenham, Kent) wrote : The expected biennial epidemic of measles appeared in this region in early December, 1958, just in time to put many youngsters to bed over Christmas. To date there have been close on 150 cases in the practice, and the numbers are now steadily decreasing. Like previous epidemics, the primary cases have been chiefly in the 5- and 6-year-olds, with secondary cases in their younger siblings. No special features have been noted in this relatively mild epidemic. It has been mild because complications have occurred in only four children. One little girl aged 2 suffered from a lobular pneumonia, and three others developed acute otitis media following their measles. In the majority of children the whole episode has been well and truly over in a week, from the prodromal phase to the disappearance of the rash, and many mothers have remarked ”how much good the attack has done their children,” as they seem so much better after the measles.  A family doctor’s approach to the management of measles is essentially a personal and individual matter, based on the personal experiences of the doctor and the individual character and background of the child and the family.  In this practice measles is considered as a relatively mild and inevitable childhood ailment that is best encountered any time from 3 to 7 years of age. Over the past 10 years there have been few serious complications at any age, and all children have made complete recoveries. As a result of this reasoning, no special attempts have been made at prevention even in young infants in whom the disease has not been found to be especially serious.  In Scotland Dr M Mc Gregor reported that this outbreak had not effect them. However outbreaks in 1950/53 and 55 had been mild with “no serious complications beyond otitis media.  The reporting of measles in medical journals change dramatically in 1963 after John Enders and colleagues transformed their Edmonston-B strain of measles virus into a vaccine and licensed it in the United States. The vaccine was announced in the September 1963 edition of the British Medical Journal The article states in the second paragraph on page 760 “There is no doubt that an effective vaccine is needed for children who are especially liable to develop sever measles (children in underdeveloped countries). But the need or desire for a vaccine for the general population of Great Britain is much less certain. Measles is now a mild disease and many parents and doctors may feel that no protection against it is required.  The risk of encephalitis in UK was estimated at one in a thousand. The article goes on to state that “nutrition and living standards played a part in determining the mildness of measles, compared to developing countries. The article warned that by preventing measles using vaccines and eliminating natural immunity you create the risk of mutated strains could result and cause epidemics sometime in the future.  In July 1964 The British Medical Journal made references to the 1963 article and the lack of urgency for a measles vaccination in the UK. They published a study of “Frequency of Complications of Measles” from the 1963 epidemic. Now GPs are reporting serious complications, in one out of every fifteen patients and 12 deaths out of 53,000 cases of measles. The “discussion” opens with the comment; “The results of this investigation show that serious complications of measles are commoner than is generally supposed and cannot be ignored in any assessment of the need for universal vaccination”. The study states “the results reflect complication rates under the present conditions of medical practice, and on these grounds, measles can scarcely be regarded as a mere inconvenience. Moreover, measles is an unpleasant disease that imposes considerable discomfort on nearly every child at some time, as well as a burden of anxiety and work on parents and doctors”.  In 1967 a campaign was launched to eliminate measles from the United States, supported by President Lyndon Johnson “To those who ask me ‘Why do you wish to eradicate measles?’” wrote Alexander Langmuir, chief epidemiologist at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention from 1949 to 1970,  I reply with the same answer that Hillary used when asked why he wished to climb Mt. Everest. He said “Because it is there.” To this may be added, “… and it can be done.”  Call me cynical but it does seem an extraordinary change in observations by GPs, on the basis of having a measles vaccine to try. The graph above shows deaths associated with measles infection had dropped to negligible levels in the UK by the time the vaccine was introduced in 1968, it is a fact infection rates were increasing but our immune systems were coping better because of improved living conditions. I am not disputing that some children do have complications after measles infection, there is evidence of people having encephalitis after being infected, but the vast majority make full recoveries. However, for every example of measles injury, there is an example of a child injured by a vaccine. Are we seriously expected to believe that this infection is now more dangerous than it was in 1959 despite all the advances in health care, housing and nutrition?  Its not as if the measles vaccine has been without controversy, but researchers have been more enthusiastic about discussing side effects from measles than side effects of the vaccine. There is no doubt that there has been an exponential rise in autism in recent years, there may be very well an association with MMR, however the medical establishment have their tanks parked on this theory and seem to enjoy this discussion. Proving causation is extremely difficult without funds for massive epidemiology studies, better to challenge governments to provide answers on autism, rather than handing them a strawman, that autism could be caused by anything except the MMR vaccine.  There is no need to bring up Andrew Wakfield or the excellent Vaxxed documentary when you have a history like the MMR vaccine has. The “Urabe” strain of the MMR vaccine was introduced in 1988, three brands were tried on UK children, an experiment to see if the Government could get away with using a cheaper MMR vaccine. Eighty percent of the vaccines used on children were made by Merieux and SmithKline Beecham and contained the Urabe strain. The MMR II, made by Merck, Sharp and Dohme, containing the ‘Jeryl Lynn’ strain, was more expensive and used 20% of the time.  After four years use it was apparent the Urabe strain was causing many cases of aseptic meningitis. But the medical establishment stuck with the 1964 narrative (rather than the 1959 one) that the risks from measles were preferable than not vaccinating. In 2007 it came out in a “Freedom of Information” request; that the government knew that there were concerns about the vaccine when it was introduced in 1988; minutes of a meeting of the Joint Committee on Vaccination and Immunisation, in May 1990, show that there was “special concern” about “reports from Japan of a high level of meningoencephalitis associated with the administration of MMR”. The UK Government waited another two years before it decided to stop using Urabe MMR in 1992, so keen were they to push on with this vaccine, we know children died but we have no details of numbers  Last Summer I was invited on “Good Morning Britain” to discuss with Dr Hillary Jones why my children had not been vaccinated. They asked why not and I pointed out that it was normal for children like Hilary Jones and myself to have measles without a problem in the 60s.  That statement always lights up doctors under fifty who are taught measles is a “killer disease” best protection offered by vaccines. Hilary Jones was no different; Measles killed many he said, but he was not expecting me to produce the page from the British Medical Journal in 1959, he commented: “the reference was a bit old”. I pointed out this was when measles was common in UK and doctors were not seeing deaths and very few complications. He smoothly shifting the discussion to German Measles (Rubella) another mild infection, which can cause serious damage to fetuses in pregnant mothers who do not have antibodies, from previously being exposed to the infection. The presenter Kate Garaway seemed to think we have better knowledge about the risks of measles in the UK now, when most of the current statistics are based on small outbreaks, or from epidemics in the developing world, where children are often malnourished and don’t even have access to clean water.  It’s amazing how doctors can clearly see the “dangers” of measles now its become quite rare, while having great difficulty seeing the side effects of vaccines which are common, always “safe” but not risk free. This is what happens to clinical observations when the pharmaceutical industry has a vaccine to sell and governments absolve manufacturers of liability for injuries caused by their vaccines. The pharmaceutical industry knows, that many injuries will not be picked up on small trials and surface later on mass use. Compensation costs are prohibitive to manufacturing vaccines, so governments deal with “no Fault” compensation for injuries caused by vaccines.  The cherry picking of evidence to support particular points of view, the smoke and mirrors, leaves parents none the wiser. The majority acquiesce as they did in Soviet times, others convinced its a social responsibility to vaccinate their children, while multinational companies avoid paying taxes, squirreling profits offshore. A minority continue to question, in the face of growing intimidation.  I never considered myself anti-vaccination, its a parents choice but if the name “Antivaxxer” has been created as a pejorative term to intimidate, I shall wear it as a badge of honor, while doing my best to optimise my children’s health and well being with minimal medical interventions. Here is a balanced measles debate which was on American TV, shame we can’t have similar debates in the UK, rather that the “science is settled” mantra and no need to give a platform to people to question the “science”; PR masquerading as science.",781,"uk"

""The majority of the cases are in unvaccinated children,"" said Dr Kristina Poole, from Public Health England North West.  Experts have warned in recent years that a rise in the number of measles cases may be linked to the controversy surrounding the MMR vaccine used to immunise people against it.  In 2018 there were three cases in Greater Manchester, down from seven in 2017.  The government's chief medical advisor Prof Dame Sally Davies has insisted the MMR vaccine is safe.

"5616","It MIGHT seem a paradox, but in company is not. Because if more and more children, in respect of time, are vaccinated against the measles, the progress in Europe to eradicate the disease have been uneven between the different Countries in 2018.

So much to reach a given record of the people infected in the last year.To put it in evidence is the Who, the world health Organization.

Jakab is so clear when he explains that ""we do not reach the populations most healthy at the global level, as promised in the vision of the Who for the next five years, if we do not work locally.

Picture: Getty  By Mared Parry  A leading doctor has spoken out stating that the failing to give your child the MMR jab should be made illegal.  Children should be banned from schools if they haven't been vaccinated against measles, claims Doctor Eleanor Draeger.  Writing in the BMJ, the leading doctor stated that the UK needs to make compulsory MMR jabs LAW as the disease is surging and not enough is being done about it.  Children everywhere should be banned from schools if they're not vaccinated according to Dr Draeger. Picture: Getty  She explained: ""We would argue that the UK now needs to legislate to increase vaccination rates, as current measures aren’t keeping rates high enough"".  And the statistics prove this right: the number of measles cases in Britain more than QUADRUPLED from 2017 to 2018, and it's only set to rise.  In 2017, the number of recorded cases sat at 259, and by 2018 that number had hit a whopping 966.

Nine other countries in Europe have made the jab a legal requirement, including France and Italy, and the expert doctor believes we should follow suit.  Draeger explained: ""Some 30 per cent more kids had been vaccinated in Italy since the law was changed there.  ""Legislation in Australia has also led to thousands more having the jab"", she said.

Dr David Elliman from London’s Great Ormond Street Hospital, told the BMJ that the UK should concentrate on making it easier for children to get immunised.  He said: “Only when these components are in place should we consider mandatory vaccination.”  Currently, the MMR jab is free for adults and kids on the NHS.

"5636","Probably many of you have this debate about vaccines and information related to the measles reported in the media: Italy tail, the shame of the West, and so on. You agree that if it is talked about a lot. But perhaps it is appropriate to make some considerations on the Italian media. Some of the data: do you know how many died of measles there have been in 2017? Four patients also had other serious diseases. Do you know how many people die each year in Italy for stings of bees and wasps? From 10 to 20 per year. Let us take tuberculosis. Always on-line, we discover that in Italy, in 2016 there were about 4000 cases, with 330 dead. Did you know? Consider now the hospital infections (one enters the hospital for a trifle, gets a few bacteria drug-susceptible and dies) . The news, recently reported by the media – and that you can find online about 7000 deaths, double the number of road accidents (3378 in 2017). On a population of potential (patients in hospital) number much lower than that of the potential victims of the road. This news, definitely a matter of concern for absolute numbers and percentages , it is certain the past about the media, but was quickly forgotten, as hundreds of other news. As you know, to “assimilate” a news story should be ribadirla, comment on it, should become a topic of discussion , and so on (about the same as was done for the vaccines and for the news that you decide is relevant). Last: how many will be dead due to the effect of the waiting lists are too long, to the under-staffing of nurses, doctors and specialists, for staff overwhelmed by the exhausting shifts? I don't know, but a journalist could certainly find the figures. Summarizing (and simplifying, but not too much) according to the Italian media, the situation is the following: Measles (4 dead): “The situation is very serious”. Tuberculosis (330 deaths) : ”we do Not create alarmism”. Road traffic accidents (3378 dead, the 17,000 serious injuries), ”But are falling”. Hospital infections (7000 dead): no comment. The other preventable deaths in Health care: it's not even there the news. Now, the media should describe the reality. In theory, with adequate information and comments, voters may ask the account to their premier. Force him to say, for example: “nurses are under staffed for budgetary reasons, many hospital facilities are crumbling, given that we are trying to reduce the costs of the health sector, and we do not want to eliminate other expenses that we believe are most deserving, and because we fear the consequences of election for cuts to other items”. If “other expenses” were for new strategic infrastructure, which as we saw are collapsing, if they were to adapt seismically schools and hospitals, or take on the prison guards and police officers, bridging the shortage of staff, if they could discuss and perhaps give reason to the political choices. But very often the choices do not reggerebbero in comparison with lives saved (say, the rescue of Alitalia, to give an example of a measure which is costly and largely controversial) . Even if they have economic impact, relevant , resources, to find they are left in a limbo of uncertainty. Then proceeds, to tell, to cuts in Health care, will not bow down schools and hospitals because “there is money”. Will be evaporated? It is perhaps separate budgets, two different nations? And this can be done because the political power that is too rarely been put in front of their own choices. In conclusion, I would not want to seem ungenerous, but perhaps the information that the Italian could do better than that... Enea Berardi, eneaberardi@gmail.com",759,"italy"

"5624","Chiaroscuro scientific. Measles from the vaccine. Partial truth of Prof. Burioni...the clinic says another <U+0001F50A> Read this post Cinzia Marchegiani After the tragic death of the child immunedepressed at the hospital of Monza has sparked the hunt for the untore and the proliferation of judgments objectionable and out of place that they did jump, with the benefit of hindsight, many italians. Many, following in the footsteps, did not let escape a golden opportunity to blame “the unworthy” parents for not having to vaccinate against the measles, his brothers and sisters, and rei, according to them, the drama that the family was experiencing. Those who occupy important roles both in policy and in health care often use the launch of some of the news to give support and strength to concepts that they repeat like a mantra, forgetting that medical malpractice is a factor in some tragic situations, and not always everything that we see has only one explanation, especially if the news has just been launched and you do not know all the details. Because this race is unworthy, without respect for the pain of a family that has lost the most precious thing that he loved more than anything in the world, and that among other things, he opened a passage easy to exploitation? The first opinion expressed is almost always far from objective truth. This race spasmodic but produces a damage unimaginable because dismantles the credibility of the institutions, important pillar for the prestige of the same to be a beacon for all of us, especially in the dark and difficult moments. It is very complicated to dismantle an idea though faced with the evidence. They know politicians, they know the newspapers. It is very difficult to make people change their opinion, because on that often, we lay the foundations of our public and private life and having to accept the fragility and inconsistency is such as to admit of having founded the whole of their existence on a matrix gel-like and opaque. And thus is born another debate. The vaccine of the measles can also lead to problems of protection of public health in relation to the immunosuppressed. BURIONI HAS NO DOUBTS. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE! ALSO FAILING THE ASL THAT PUBLISH INSTRUCTIONS RELATING TO THE RESIGNATION OF IMMUNOSUPPRESSED PATIENTS, ALL OF THEM ARE WRONG? Without any sort of doubt, prof Roberto Burioni, on 28 June 2017 at 17,57 publish a post on his page of “Roberto Burioni Doctor” with a particularly significant passage in her articulate, which reads thus: “The measles vaccine is not in any way constitute a problem for the transplant and THE VIRUS CONTENT IN the VACCINE OF the MEASLES CAN BE TRANSMITTED, for which the unvaccinated are not a danger to anyone, even to those who have undergone a bone marrow transplant”. BURIONI ON THE CONTROVERSY TRIGGERED WITH The MR ZACCAGNINI WITHOUT DOUBT BELIES THE ASL AND THE RECOMMENDATIONS TO PATIENTS AUTOTRAPIANTATI OR UNDERGOING CONVENTIONAL CHEMOTHERAPY professor Burioni, in a controversy triggered with the ON. Zaccagnini that he was posting the instructions in the ASL in relation to the care that patients, autotrapiantati or undergoing conventional chemotherapy after his resignation, must absolutely observe: “Indeed, it is recommended to the family members of transplant recipients get vaccinated as the real risk for these people is to catch the measles because of the defenses weakened. If any of ASL, he writes the opposite, is wrong. If some doctor says otherwise, is wrong“. To enlarge the photo just click on it. What's emerging? First of all we must say that there is not a vaccine against measles, but there are two vaccines that are defined by acronyms, MMR (Measles, Rubella, and Mumps) and MMRV (Measles, Rubella, Mumps and Varicella (chicken pox). Hence, vaccination with the MMR introduces three live viruses in the body of the vaccinated and the vaccine MMRV gives four. Are all live viruses capable of replicating in the human body, and for at least three of them, it has been shown that, under particular conditions, have been able to spread to other people susceptible to infection, which resulted in the corresponding disease. For the Measles virus contained in the vaccine, it is shown that it is present in the pharynx and in the urine of subjects who develop Measles after the vaccine injection, and then from here it spreads into the environment and no one is busy to seriously understand what it can determine. The sensitivity of the issue deserves a progression in stages because the statement of prof Burioni has aroused much controversy and is not without practical consequences. Probably, the consultation part of the scientific literature currently available allows certain people to represent a partial truth as the truth is unique and absolute? Biology teaches that all the laws of nature contrast with the regular and punctual exceptions, and the history of these viruses does not escape this iron rule. So, the prof. Burioni is supported by the statements of the CDC of Atlanta (the Center for Prevention and Disease Control) claims that the three viruses are not transmitted from the vaccinated people. In fact, in their document they write: “Measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine viruses are not transmitted from the vaccinated person” (1). As you read these statements of the CDC are not supported by scientific evidence present in the scientific literature current. Further support to the thesis of prof Burioni come from the work of Greenwood et al. (2) who claim that “there is no evidence of human transmission of the vaccine virus of Measles”. If things are so and this is the only scientific truth, the prof Burioni is in the iron barrel and his statements are the laws of science and nature. But science and nature provide for regular exceptions that deserve to be recognised? We verify. Murti et al. (3) in 2013 reported to the system of Eurosurveillance is the first case of Measles virus vaccination, which occurred after 37 days from the vaccine injection. The genetic material of RNA viruses has been discovered with the nasopharyngeal swab using the technique of RT-PCR. Swabs of the throat, and the specimens of urine were collected in the fifth and sixth day of the disease, respectively. The genotype showed the strain of the measles vaccine Schwarz (genotype A). The case product also specifies that: “If the measles and rubella were not subjected to surveillance that is more accurate in Croatia, the case would have been erroneously reported as a rubella or not recognised“. The first consequence of the presence of the virus in the secretions nasofaringee is its elimination with the droplets emitted with the coughs that are always present in Measles, as this is a disease of the respiratory tract. Here the prof Burioni could argue that the virus so that is emitted outside the body is not able to infect other persons because it is a virus weakened by the producers of the vaccine. Weakened for sure, but sometimes capable of causing, in some cases, the Measles. However, in rare cases, horizontal transmission of the virus contained in vaccines composed of attenuated viruses has been demonstrated (4) surely for the virus of Mumps (5-9), Rubella (10) and Chickenpox (11, 12). Relatively to the virus of mumps contained in the MMR vaccine, Kaic et al. (8) demonstrated that three children vaccinated with MMR vaccine have transmitted the virus vaccine of mumps in 5 adults who had had contact with them (relatives). All had the mumps and one of them even had an aseptic meningitis. They arrived to demonstrate this by using virus culture, have sequenced the genome, have made use of serology and detected the link is epidemiological between vaccinated and contact-infected. Also the data sheet of the vaccine against chickenpox (Varivax), point 5.4 states that the transmission of the virus contained in the vaccine can occur rarely from a vaccinated to a subject susceptible to the disease. Then, if a subject is vaccinated with the vaccine, MMRV, carries always the potential of transmission of the Varicella virus that could be particularly dangerous if the vaccinated has how to contact a subject immunedepressed. This is so intuitive that it should be the object of discussion because this virus the vaccine has a two-fold way to produce its diffusion to the contacts: the first is to produce a picture of chicken pox in the immediate, and the second is the way that leads to the production of a zoster after years after vaccination with the chicken pox full-blown, as demonstrated by the medical literature current that shows an increase in cases of zoster in vaccinated subjects that have not developed the chicken pox. Since the new vaccination plan provides for the use of this vaccine, MMRV, it should be put into the account the potential that these four live viruses and attenuated to produce damage to an immunedepressed, or disease to a healthy subject who is susceptible to it. THEN, WE ARE FACED CERTAINTIES AS CERTAIN OR LEGISLATORS MUST REVIEW MORE THAN A FEW TWEAKS? All this serves to ask questions and demand serious answers. Studies show that the certainties are not so certain and that caution and appropriate precautions must be taken when you vaccinate with a vaccine MMRV a family member of a person immunedepressed for the potential to expose it to the risks conveyed by the vaccine, which previously have been analyzed, considering also the high hazard of Varicella virus content in these vaccines. The vaccine of the measles, can produce secondary cases of measles from the vaccine strain? Is always to consider that the Measles virus contained in the vaccines, MMR and MMRV can produce the measles even after 37 days of injection and that the virus is present in secretions nasofaringee as first reported, and from here it's reasonable to think that the virus from spreading to the contacts and in doing this, if you encounter an immunedepressed, there remains the theoretical risk of deleterious contagion. In addition, in 2010, Kaic et al. (13), have shown that the vaccine strain Schwarz measles was eliminated with the urine and secretions pharyngeal. Although it is two clues, it is certain that the virus if it is present in the urine, and pharynx, can't help but spread to others, apart from the lack of demonstrations of the theoretical possibility of producing secondary cases of Measles from the vaccine strain, without prejudice to the possibility to produce cases of Measles from the vaccine strain in subjects undergoing vaccination with the MMR. These few notes should not feed the controversy, are intended solely for the purpose of urging the competent authorities to contemplate in their recommendations, legal reflections just produced, and translated them into guidelines, to be applied in cases where the vaccinated, or the candidate to the MMR vaccine or MMRV, side-by-side with a subject immunedepressed. Not only that, but the authorities need to be aware of every possibility, albeit rare or less, to achieve important information in order to be protected, especially those that we want to protect. If it is the protection of the health of all that it is necessary to pursue, legislators must be able to grasp the importance of the studies that have produced reflections of objective and optimize the best strategies to prevent any possible contagion towards those wishing to protect with a mass vaccination, indeed is likely to do the opposite effect. But the Decree Lorenzin seems to be a hornet's nest of loopholes that the same telephone service 1500 put at the disposal of the parents showed very easily, but nobody, it seems, has taken a still awareness. The legislators have thought of just counting vaccines or have taken in serious consideration all of the dossier produced by doctors, associations, lawyers, that the law that will be launched is really a exclusive protection of our children? There is no urgency of the epidemic could be reaching a contribution of science to the service of the community. Italy is a frontrunner in vaccination strategies or in the number of vaccines made mandatory? Serves a deeper investigation about the true motives about this revolution in health so coercive, as many have denounced the drift of the meaning of the guarantees and protections of the constitution. It is now clear that this is as a Decree made in a hurry and digested even evil. The balance about vaccines (from 12, maybe 13 now, 10, but let's remember that there were only 4), he demonstrates his weakness and fallacy, without royal support of the scientific basis. And then the “Icing”....banning the concrete comparison of the plurality of reflections and experiences, has been violated the only path that would have allowed for transparency, credibility and recognition of the principle of scientific consistency and not scientistica on the rules of the prophylaxis vaccination. The credibility of these institutions is undermined, then those who will be preparing, with the consent of the Council of Ministers, to vote, perhaps at night and have the confidence on the decree of the vaccines to the Parliament for examination. It seems to live in another era, and this restless a lot. Essential bibliography https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/vpd/mmr/public/index.html. Greenwood KP, Hafiz R, Ware RS, Lambert SB.

Alarming rise of measles cases, measles diseases are extremely contagious, and potentially lethal. The better the vaccination rate, the more secure the life is just for the little ones, said the society. In addition to the acute disease may occur as a late consequence of the so-called SSPE, a usually fatal inflammation of the brain. Children are particularly at risk in the first year of life, are still too young for a measles-Mumps-rubella vaccination.

"5631","Yesterday a mother told the Messenger the story of Silvia, a mother of 39-year-old contracted the measles while she was pregnant. Silvia – that was not vaccinated when he was a child, the anti-measles was not required – had to do a caesarean section of urgency to the 32nd week and the baby was hospitalized for about ten days in neonatal intensive care. To avert the risk of a contagion nor made nor the father were able to visit the child until ten days after the birth. The insults to her mother, who has taken the measles and has accused the no-vax, it Is very likely that if the vaccination coverage was high enough Silvia (who as a complication of the measles has taken the pneumonia) would not be sick. Fortunately, everything happened near the end of pregnancy, and then without too much risk to the baby. But could it happen before and so it's unlikely that the child could be born. There are many doubts on how come there are so many cases of measles and Silvia has clearly pointed the finger at the no-vax. It is thanks to the people who choose not to vaccinate their children against this disease esantematica and in fact seek to make them infect for the natural immunization and avoid the mandatory vaccinations that the virus continues to circulate. It is obvious that this mother does not know who he infected, but it is equally obvious that if all vaccinassero their children even people who during childhood have not been vaccinated (this also means the grandparents of the kids in the no-vax) were not at risk of getting sick for nothing. Just to let people know how much was serious the situation is Silvia was admitted in an intensive care unit and her son remained 27 days under observation in the hospital. This mom would have had to get vaccinated? Perhaps given the times that run would have done well to do so. But the fact is that the herd effect is to ensure that even people who were not immunized in the past (or have made the vaccine many years ago) can avoid getting sick. Of course, the no-vax in the name of a supposed superiority of their personal free choice on the collective good of public health believe that they have the right not to have to vaccinate their children. A choice of selfish in that, for fear of the risk is almost non-existent, has put at serious risk the life of the son of someone else. Those who have discovered the conspiracy to the detriment of the movement no-vax within one of the groups “free-vax”, the association Corvelva, an administrator has posted yesterday the news and the link to the piece of the Messenger. Since this is an article for a fee (that is, reserved to subscribers of the Messenger online) none of the users could read the full text, but only the preview. Then none of the parents is no-vax that you are so angry against this mom, and here we see the portraits as they are intent to get on Facebook is talking with cognition of cause. Not that it's a problem, the rest of the no-vax does not shine for the understanding of the text and already have difficulty reading a “leaflet”, and to understand the meaning. There is the mom who explains that if Silvia had done, “his honest measles in the pediatric age group,” everything would have been resolved. While there are those who compare this story to that of Alice Pignatti, mom has created the portal I the Vaccine, and who is accused of being on the payroll of the U (or Lorenzin, depends on the day of the week). Another administrator of the group, which obviously has not read the article in the Messenger, you question sarcastically on the lack of vaccination of the mother. It will be not that even this Silvia is no-vax? A no-vax repented? The other moms instead want to raise the suspicion that this mother has been paid for the “extras”. The no-vax, in fact, live in a terrible world: not only Big Pharma plot behind them, not only the Order of the doctors wants to silence the “critical voices” against the vaccines (often the luminaries of homeopathy), but actually pays parents to invent horror stories and convince everyone to get vaccinated. But a mother free-vax is a mom informed and not to scrub: the story of the mother who accuses the no-vax is “at the limit of the complaint for defamation”. You need to make the names and surnames of those who has been infected by the mother, otherwise it is all a hype!!1 ",744,"italy"

The disease itself can cause a severe and sometimes deadly illness, but two new studies have found that even when patients recover, the virus can inflict lasting harm on their immune systems.  The weakened immunity leaves a child vulnerable for several years to other dangerous infections like flu and pneumonia. The damage occurs because the virus kills cells that make antibodies, which are crucial to fighting off infections.

In fact if a person who has received vaccinations for other diseases contracts measles, it may wipe out the protection those vaccines had provided.  Revaccination could help restore the child’s immunity, the researchers said.  The second study, by a different team, was published in Science Immunology.  The studies arrive at a time of heightened concern about measles.  Globally, the measles vaccine is estimated to have saved 21 million lives between 2000 and 2017. But there are still more than 7 million cases and 100,000 deaths a year.  The New York Times",732,"uk"

The measles-vaccination rates in 2017, however, show that for the Two - to five-year the vaccination coverage with the second dose only at about 81 percent. Specifically, this means that 48,000 children in this age group, a second vaccination against measles-Mumps-rubella, and are not sufficiently protected.

Among at least seven of the eight cases there would be a link.The internal investigation launched by the health department of the hospital is going forward rapidly, in order to reconstruct the chain of infections, some of which may have occurred prior to the hospitalizations, and others might be generated from the contact in the department of the hospital by a little girl, the daughter of parents no-vax. Eight cases of measles in Bari, the expert: ""With Lorenzin coverage increased, but no vax are a problem in playback.... The child of 11 months, which - always according to the first reconstructions - had contracted the measles at the John XXIII is in good health. ""Probably will be discharged in the coming 24 hours,"" explains the director of the health structure, Maria Giustina D'amelio. As for the other two patients still hospitalized at the pediatric hospital, a two year old boy, and a boy of 15, the first will be discharged within the day of Monday, November 12, and the other on Tuesday, 13. Unless complications last time. In detail, the first child hospitalized with measles, 8 years (and not 10), has been in the infectious diseases department of the John XXIII from October 23 to 27. The little brother of 11 years was hospitalized with the same symptoms, the 1st of November (both of the brothers were already dismissed), and the same day he was hospitalized, a cousin of 2 years. On the 6th of November, then, it happened to another cousin of 16 years.It is, therefore, of four children related to each other and all non-vaccinated. On the 23rd of October he had been admitted for other reasons, even a child of 11 months, then in the hospital would contract the measles virus and will be discharged in the next few hours. On 8 November, then, were admitted to the general hospital a man, a security guard in service in the department of infectious diseases at the children's hospital and the mother of the child of 2 years. The day after, finally, another woman was hospitalized with a diagnosis of measles, but his situation would seem to be detached from the chain of infection that involved the other seven.""The measles outbreak registered in Bari is under control, but we must pay attention to the fact that, despite the excellent percentage of vaccination coverage of the region of Puglia (95% at 36 months, a value judged to be ideal by the WHO) and at a time when there is the obligation of vaccination, has occurred, a classic ""episode"" the expected"" outbreak family/hospital"", says in a note the ministry of Health.The internal investigation conducted by the director of health, meanwhile, is also ensuring the timing of the notification from the paediatric to the department of prevention of Asl Bari. It seems confirmed the delay in the communication of the index case, the child of 8 years, that happened only on 5 November. ""We are working with the local health authorities also to review the organization and streamline the protocol,"" explains Carlucci.Reactions, meanwhile, did not wait. After eight cases of measles to the director of health Hospital, Matilda Carlucci, flanked by a colleague, the number one of the doctors of the pediatric.For the newly appointed director general of the Hospital,, this is not a 'commissioner', but only of a 'signal'. Objective: ""the Strengthening of the directorate of health John XXIII"", and with the hospital is a unique healthcare company, in anticipation of the spin-off already announced by the Region. ""From now on, Carlucci will move its activities mainly at the children's hospital, directly to contribute to the epidemiological investigation in concert with the Asl, and is why, now more than ever - says-Best - is essential to ensuring strategic management in view of the creation of a company pediatric stand-alone"".Reinforcement, therefore. ""This is not a punishment towards anyone,"" says the dg. Whatever the reason, with each passing hour it appears increasingly clear that the eight cases of measles are connected between them. And that at the base of the chain of infection, there would be a delay in the notification of suspected measles in the 10 year old girl to the Department of prevention of Asl Bari. The little patient was discharged on the 27th of October, while the notification came to the health authorities only 6 November: 10 days after. Too late.The virus, therefore, would have had an easy life, passing from the 'case indice - the one that triggered the chain - the little sister (non-vaccinated), then a child of 11 months admitted to hospital with an ear infection. And, again, a security guard of John XXIII, as, among others, to the mother of two gemelline that had accompanied one of them there for other reasons, the two arrived at the Hospital. Epidemiological investigations are continuing and vaccinations to the carpet post-exposure have already been initiated by the Asl: ""No one has escaped,"" say the authorities.Cases of measles ""does not represent an alarm epidemic,"" according to the head of the epidemiological Observatory of Puglia. ""Just the admission of a child to trigger a chain of contagion""., the director of the Health Department of the Region of Puglia, accurate ""from what we know of the cases actually make sure they are five and three suspects under observation, but we are trying to understand if these cases are all connected. For now we don't have problems or complications. Was alerted, the service area and are in contact with the national Institute of health. The girl from which it may be party, the contagion was not vaccinated - clarifies Ruscitti - and not even her sister, and then there is the baby of 11 months who was in hospital for other reasons. In these hours we are currently rebuilding the chain of infection to understand what happened with precision. You have to understand if bird all derive from the case of the daughter of 10 years"".The girl and her sister were already dismissed because the case dated back to October and the incubation period is about 10 - 12 days.With regard to the risks of contagion linked to the missing vaccinations by the express decision of the parents Ruscitti notes that ""there was a long period in which the vaccination has been lowered in all of Italy, for which we can not exclude that, then a twenty-year-old or a thirty-year-old to contract the disease. We do vaccination campaigns, but if the family are opposed, there is no possibility of coercive action. In fact, in addition, now that you have suspended the obligation to remove from school, children not vaccinated, the risk of a spread of the disease there is, first of all to these children. I insist in saying that children should be vaccinated, but there is the freedom of the individual - ends Ruscitti - and this can be a problem not only for the children of parents who are against vaccines, but also for those children who maybe suffering from other diseases, can not be vaccinated.""",709,"italy"
"2088","The mayor of New York, Bill de Blasio, urges the people not vaccinated in several districts of the city to be vaccinated against the measles. And this is particularly the orthodox jewish community that is referred to. It will not have escaped you : measles is back in the world. And measures must be taken. Italy for example, now enforces the policy of “no vaccine, no school”. More recently, a county of the us, has decided to ban unvaccinated children from public places. This time, it is several neighborhoods of the city of New York who are concerned. And more especially the neighborhood of Williamsburg, which is home to a large community of orthodox jews. 285 cases since October Until now, the State of New York required to get vaccinated against certain diseases to be able to integrate the school system. However, exemptions for religious reasons were granted. In particular for orthodox jews. But in light of the resurgence of measles in some districts, these exemptions will no longer be. More than 280 cases have been registered in New York since October. Even though the disease had almost disappeared in the United States. For the mayor of the city, it is too much. The state health emergency is declared in four areas located in the north-west of Brooklyn. ""This situation can be resolved quickly. We can put an end to it, "" assured the mayor. ""When you choose not to vaccinate your child, keep in mind that you also make this choice for the people who revolve around him "", had also said Herminia Palacio, a physician and deputy mayor in charge of health. Criminal prosecution and fines All individuals, without exception, ""who may have been exposed to the measles"" will need to be vaccinated. In the opposite case, the parents could be prosecuted criminally and fined $ 1,000. Child care for the orthodox jewish community and talmudic schools that will accept children who are not vaccinated will also be subject to prosecution or even closure. The city mayor also stressed that the vaccine would be available free of charge to families who do not have the means to finance it. Recall that the resurgence of measles in the world is attributed to the anti-vaccines, which seems to take more magnitude. The world Health Organization (WHO) is taking the problem very seriously, to the point of classifying the fear of vaccines among the top 10 threats to public health in 2019. The concerned evoke often an expected ratio between the measles vaccine and increased risk of autism. However, this is not the case, as proved, once again, an important study published a few weeks ago. Source related Articles :",708,"france"

"2087","Romania is in the throes of an epidemic, rapid measles, with several thousands of cases in 2016. Other countries of the european Union, including France, have also faced outbreaks of measles in recent months. The epidemic of measles is progressing very quickly in Romania : while the virus had affected seven persons in 2015, more than 3,400 people have contracted the disease by 2016, and 17 died. The minister of Health in romania Florian Bodog has indicated that patients who died were unvaccinated children. He thus called on the population to be vaccinated, according to the website Hotnews.ro, insisting that it was ""the only effective way to prevent the disease"". While the world Health Organization recommends a rate of vaccination anti-measles 95%, Florian Bodog has indicated that the coverage in Romania was 80% for the first dose and 50% for the second. In this country, it seems that poverty, lack of access to medical services, as well as the increasing number of parents refusing vaccination of their children to be the origin of this phenomenon. France also affected Apart from Romania, several countries of the european Union have been faced with outbreaks of measles in 2016 and 2017 : Belgium, France, Germany, Italy and Poland.

"3599","The health authorities of the Philippines have launched a massive vaccination campaign, aiming to vaccinate every day, around 2,000 children against measles. The country suffers from a severe outbreak of this disease. Updated on 15. In April 2019, at 19:13, The measles are on the rise again! The world health organization, WHO, has seen a dramatic worldwide increase in diseases and raises the Alarm. More topics you can see here, The number of measles cases worldwide has increased dramatically. You took in the first quarter of 2019, compared to the prior-year period by 300 percent, as the world health organization, WHO, announced on Monday in Geneva. It is more than 112.000 infections were in 170 countries reported. A year earlier it had been almost 28,000 cases in 163 countries. It was preliminary and incomplete data, but it is a unique development was ""recognizable,"" said the WHO. The highly contagious and sometimes dangerous disease is on the rise again. In the rich countries, the spread of the measles goes back mainly to an increasing Impfskepsis. In poor areas of the world, many people have no access to the measles vaccination, the WHO complained. What exactly is measles? Measles is a viral disease that is transmitted faster than the flu or Ebola. When an Infected person sneezes or coughs, the virus is still two hours. An infection can occur when there is no Infected person is left in the room. Moreover, Infected can transmit the measles Virus as early as four days before the onset of symptoms. Affected are mostly children, but not exclusively. The disease manifests itself with a high fever and then later with a red skin rash. In addition, life-threatening complications such as pneumonia or encephalitis can occur, especially in already immunocompromised people such as infants or the elderly. Health authorities call for urgent vaccination from the age of twelve months. It is not only about personal protection, but also to an immunization of the total population. Is to achieve a vaccination rate of 95 percent. She makes a infection of humans is unlikely, can not be vaccinated for health reasons, such as babies, leukemia patients or transplant recipients. Why spread the disease is currently so strong? In the rich countries, the spread of the measles goes back mainly to an increasing Impfskepsis. The leaders base their warnings, especially to the British scientist Andrew Wakefield, the research, faked results, and a connection between the measles-vaccination in children and autism had claimed. Although his Thesis was, among other things, a study with more than 650,000 children, and further studies topic, keeps a persistent rumor about in Online forums. In Germany, the measles occur in waves. While there were 2017 929 infections, a relatively large number of cases, were it to 2018, according to the Robert Koch-Institute, 543 less. The culmination of the last 15 years was reached in 2015, with the 2465 cases. Also religious motives play in the Impfskepsis a role. So the state of New York, especially ultra-Orthodox Jews were at the recent massive measles outbreak in the U.S. affected. Unicef Director Henrietta Fore said in March, with views of the opponents: ""measles may be the disease, but all too often, the real infection is misinformation, mistrust, and indifference.""

Thus, the researchers have backed up the first time, in the early 1980s that there was a connection between the administration of aspirin and Reye's syndrome. Then, the annual number of cases has dropped significantly, from 555 in 1980 to two per year between 1994 and 1997. 5.

"15015","The UK should consider introducing compulsory measles vaccinations before children can start school to prevent the disease from spreading, experts have warned.  A group of researchers from the Bruno Kessler Foundation and Bocconi University in Italy said that far more people to be vaccinated or a schools policy should be introduced to keep the disease from becoming endemic.  However, British experts cast doubt on the idea, saying enforcing vaccines could reduce parents’ trust in the NHS.  Download the new Indpendent Premium app Sharing the full story, not just the headlines  The study found that about 3.7 per cent of the UK population was susceptible to measles in 2018 – well below the threshold at which the disease is at “elimination level” – 7.5 per cent.  But the number of people susceptible is expected to rise by more than 50 per cent by 2050 if current vaccination policies remain the same.  “Most of the countries would strongly benefit from the introduction of compulsory vaccination at school entry in addition to current routine immunisation programmes,” said the researchers.  Co-author Dr Stefano Merler said that introducing compulsory vaccination before children start school would be particularly useful in the UK, Ireland and the US to prevent future outbreaks.  The study analysed current vaccination trends in several countries, including the UK, Italy, Ireland, Australia, and the US, and was published in the BMC Medicine journal.  Shape Created with Sketch.

Most were linked to people who brought back the disease after becoming infected travelling to other countries, including Israel, Ukraine, Southern Europe and the Philippines.  But British experts expressed doubts that compulsory vaccination was the right way to tackle the rise in cases in the UK.  “Before we even consider going down this route, we should ensure that we have efficient appointments systems and reminders and adequate numbers of well-trained staff, with time to talk to parents in family-friendly clinics,” said Dr David Elliman, Consultant in Community Child Health, Great Ormond Street Hospital, and RCPCH (Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health).  “Compulsion may work in some countries, but it is not for us.”  European countries and the US are experiencing record numbers of measles cases, as immunisation levels have declined because of a scare of the jab.  Since 2018, 47 European countries have reported a record 100,000 measles cases and over 90 measles-related deaths, according to the WHO.  In the US, measles cases have also set a new record since the disease was declared eliminated nationwide in 2000, with over 60 cases in one week in New York City alone.

"2092","Measles has been a third death in France in 2018, a young girl of 17 years died ""of the suites of neurological complications"" related to this contagious disease to the university hospital of Bordeaux, announced Friday the regional Agency of health (ARS), New Aquitaine. ""The 23rd death since 2008"". ""This is the 2nd death caused by this disease in New-Aquitaine and the 3rd in France since November 2017,"" says the ARS in a press release. And the 23rd fatality due to the disease since 2008. At the end of June, the public Health agency of France announced the death of a patient of 26 years. The disease had already killed in February in Poitiers, a mother of 32 years who had never been vaccinated and who, according to the daily, the New Republic, had contracted measles in leading his father to the hospital. The epidemic is no longer in a phase of expansion. ""The New-Aquitaine is no longer in phase of the epidemic"" but the fight for the vaccination continues, insists the ARS. Since the November 6, 2017, 1.096 cases of measles have been confirmed in the region (2.567 in France in total). One out of four cases required hospitalization, twelve patients were transferred in intensive care and two died. ""Nearly 90% of these cases were not or inadequately vaccinated (2 doses needed),"" said ARS. No curative treatment. The inadequacy of vaccination coverage in France has promoted this highly contagious disease (a person can infect up to 20 people). The country has avoided an outbreak like the one that had affected 24,000 people between 2008 and 2012, including nearly 15,000 in 2011. But this does not prevent complications sometimes tragic (pneumonitis, meningo-encephalitis, etc) Only medications to relieve the symptoms of measles can be given, because unfortunately, there is no treatment to cure this disease, reminds us of the ARS. Achieve a 95% vaccination. The objective of health authorities is to achieve, as recommended by the world health Organization, 95% vaccination coverage among those at risk. However, the coverage with the second dose of the vaccine, which guarantees the immunity, varies as a function of the counties between 62 and 88%, indicated that the public Health France in march.",702,"france"

Spokeswoman Alice angel: ""So we move on to a low level and do not currently see any signs of an outbreak."" The Sufferers are mainly men from Central and southern Hesse, and between 30 and 50 years old. The goal of the world health organization (WHO) to wipe out measles, is again more difficult to reach.

"5641","More than 4204 confirmed cases according to the counts, WHO's worse than us, only India, Nigeria, Pakistan, and China. Cristina Da Rold, Without a doubt, we are not faced with an epidemic of measles, never seen. As pointed out a few months ago commenting on the data of the national Institute of Health, the increase in the number of cases is cyclical: peaks in the early months of 2017 were also recorded in 2014. And yet we can not remain indifferent to the data pubblicatidall'the WHO about the incidence of measles in the world in 2017, which show that our Country is the fifth for the number of cases clinically confirmed: in addition 4204 confirmed cases according to the counts WHO (precisely 4575 casisegnalati from the beginning of the year, of which 4 deaths, reports the bulletin of the Epicenter, up-to-date to 24 September). Worse than us only India, Nigeria, Pakistan, and China, and consider that Italy has a population much smaller than these Countries. The median age at diagnosis in our country is 27-years-old, but the higher incidence occurred in children under one year of age, and only in 2017 will count 300 cases of measles among healthcare workers. This is data that is put in black and white that in Italy we are facing a problem, compared to the rest of the european Countries. The second european Country in which we meet with in the list is Romania, to the seventh place with 3117 cases, followed by Ukraine at the 11th place with 1371 cases. In the group of Countries “the rich” to which we belong, we find in Germany only in the 17th place with 796 cases, Belgium and France on the 26th and 27th place respectively, with 259, and 352 confirmed cases, that is, less than one-tenth of our. They get sick so the less of us, and the reason is simple: because you vaccinate more. Always according to what we show the data to WHO, the difference between us and other Countries such as the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Norway, Belgium, Sweden and Spain lies in the proportion of children vaccinated. In Germany even the 97% of children a year in 2016, had received the first dose of the vaccine, compared with 85% of Italian children. In this regard include the data of the Epicenter that we cited poc ' previously, and the higher incidence of new cases in 2017 occurred in children under one year of age. It is not a coincidence, therefore, that Europe is alarmed by the situation in italy, which, though not an epidemic, however, is the context in which the measles is defined as an endemic, that is, constantly present, as is clear from the recent Report of the Commission on european regional verification of elimination of measles and rubella, introduced by the WHO in Bucharest last June. The report makes the point 2016 on the Countries that have managed to eliminate measles, and those who are still very far from doing so (see images below). Italy obviously belongs to the latter group of Countries, where measles continues to hit with some especially virulent, as was 2017. With us in Belgium, France, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Romania, Serbia and Ukraine. The presence of Belgium and France, previously mentioned as examples of the best of us, it is not surprising: it is one thing to say that measles is still endemic, i.e. has not yet been eradicated, the other thing is to have numbers as high as those in italy, the result of a fear that is unreasonable, that feeds off of false data, especially in the network. The vaccine for measles is safe and effective, more than that, unfortunately, is still necessary: measles is a serious illness, so much so that it continues to be one of the first causes of child death in Africa, where health services are often large. And while we still get sick and die of measles, 33 Countries out of 53 in the European Region have finally eliminated the disease. And they did vaccinandosi. @CristinaDaRold",700,"italy"

"3601","/Astrid, guest, stock adobecom Berlin – After the measles outbreak at a Hildesheimer school and a cluster of disease cases in lower Saxony, the German society for child and youth medicine (DGKJ) has called again for a vaccination. Measles are extremely contagious and potentially fatal, said the DGKJ in Berlin today. As a result of a measles disease, it could come years later to an inflammation of the brain, for which there is no treatment and affected patients die. ""It is not understandable to me why, in spite of these data, parents don't vaccinate their children,"" said the DGKJ-Secretary-General Burkhard Rodeck. Display A recent study from Denmark 657.000 children had settled again, still is circulating on the false assumption of a possible onset of autism following a measles vaccination to resist, - said Rodeck. The more children are vaccinated, the safer life is just for small children. Since the beginning of the year occurred in lower Saxony, 26 measles cases, more than in the entire previous year. Also, nationwide, measles cases are on the increase: In the first seven weeks of the year, the Robert-Koch-Institute (RKI) in Berlin, were registered, according to the 132 cases to 46 cases in the same period last year. An increase in the number there are in North Rhine-Westphalia, as seen from the data. © dpa/doctors sheet.de",699,"germany"
"5120","A NEW YORK suburb declared a state of emergency yesterday following an outbreak of measles cases.  Officials in Rockland County – with a population of 300,000 people and roughly 40km north of New York City – have banned unvaccinated children from entering public places “with a congregation of more than 10 people” as well as banning them from using public transport.  The extreme measure is set to last for 30 days and will come into effect from midnight tonight in a bid to curb the spread of the disease which is said to be most present within Orthodox Jewish communities.  Another outbreak took hold of the Brooklyn and Queens suburbs of New York City over the past six months, with many cases also stemming from Orthodox Jewish Communities.  The group, along with other minorities impacted such as the Amish community, do not necessarily have religious objections to vaccinations but local media in the region is reporting that they can be more vulnerable to ‘anti-vaxx’ movements.  A Washington Post article reported a slower uptake in vaccinations by religious minorities. Daniel Salmon, a professor at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and director of the Institute for Vaccine Safety, told the newspaper that many people believe the Amish are “the classic group that doesn’t want to vaccinate”. He added, “Most people who have concerns aren’t ideologically opposed to vaccines. They just don’t trust the science, they’ve been misinformed, or they hold different values.”  However, founder of Liberty Counsel – a group advocating for religious freedom issues – said that many of his clients wishes to not vaccinate were “consistent with their faith”.  Anyone found to be non-compliant with the ban will face a $500 fine or up to six months in jail, authorities have said.  “We must do everything in our power to end this outbreak and protect the health of those who cannot be vaccinated for medical reasons and that of children too young to be vaccinated,” said county executive Ed Daly.  The latest concerns come as 98 countries across the world have reported spikes in the number of people who have contracted the viral illness, according to a recent Unicef report.  In Ireland alone there has been a 208% increase in the number of cases recorded in 2018 against cases recorded in 2017, prompting director of Unicef Ireland, Peter Power, to brand it a “wake-up call” for people.  “These cases haven’t happened overnight. Just as the serious outbreaks we are seeing today took hold in 2018, lack of action today will have disastrous consequences for children tomorrow,” Power said.  He said “misinformation, mistrust and complacency” were the reasons behind parents not vaccinating their children and added, “almost all of these cases are preventable, and yet children are getting infected even in places where there is simply no excuse”.  The countries with the highest recorded increase were Ukraine with 30,338 cases, the Philippines with 13,192 cases and Brazil with 10,262 cases – all due mainly to internal conflicts and vaccine shortages.  Measles are most commonly diagnosed among children between the ages of one and four but can affect all ages, and those with other illnesses and pregnant women are at particular risk.  There were 74 reported cases Ireland in 2018, up from 25 reported cases in 2017.  To date in 2019, there have been 28 reported cases – 15 of which have been confirmed and the rest are probable or possible.  A recent episode of the TheJournal.ie’s The Explainer podcast examined why there has been such a huge increase globally in a disease that was once thought to be on its way to being eradicated.

High fever  Cough  Runny nose  Red eyes  Red rash that starts on the head and spreads down the body – this normally starts a few days after onset of illness; the rash consists of flat red or brown blotches, which can flow into each other; it lasts about four to seven days  Vomiting, diarrhoea and tummy pain may also happen  Measles can cause chest infections, fits (seizures), ear infections, swelling of the brain and/or damage to the brain.  The Department of Health gives the following advice in relation to the MMR vaccine:  All children should get the MMR vaccine when they are aged 12 months; if any child aged over 12 months has missed this vaccine they should get it now from their GP  All children should get a second dose of MMR vaccine when they are four to five years old or in junior infants at school; if any child in senior infants or older has missed this vaccine they should get it now from their GP  Adults under 40 years who have not had measles or have not received two doses of MMR vaccine should contact their GP to get the MMR vaccine  Adults over 40 years of age may sometimes be at risk and if such adults never had measles nor a measles-containing vaccine they should consider getting the MMR vaccine from their GP  What advice does the HSE give to people who think they might have measles?  Do not go to work, school or creche  Stay at home and phone your GP; tell the doctor or nurse that you think you might have measles  Stop visitors coming to your home  Pregnant women who have been exposed to measles should seek medical advice as soon as possible  With reporting by AFP - © – AFP, 2019",699,"ireland"
"5640","A new epidemic of measles breaks down on Italy, where, from the month of January 2017 has been recorded as a auento in the number of cases that have more than tripled. As reported by The Republic, in fact, in 2016, have been registered 844 cases of measles, but from the beginning of 2017, the cases are already more than 700, an increase over last year of more than 230%. The problem is certainly related to a decline in vaccinations, especially in Piedmont, Lazio, Lombardy and Tuscany. Parents do not vaccinate more children in spite of this it is free of charge and this causes the epidemic. ""Despite the Plan for the elimination of measles started in 2005 - said the minister of Health, Beatrice Lorenzin - and the vaccination against measles is among those that are highly recommended and free of charge, in 2015, the vaccination coverage against measles in children at 24 months (cohort 2013) was 85,3% (with the lowest value equal to the 68% registered in the PA of Bolzano and the highest in Lombardy with the 92,3%), still far from the 95% that is the threshold value necessary to stop the circulation of the virus in the population."" ""It is now essential - precise - quickly act with a commitment and a greater responsibility at all levels, from all of the institutions and of health professionals, to make this vaccination available, increasing the acceptance and demand from the population. Similarly, the regional administrations and health companies, as well as pediatricians and general practitioners should promote a campaign of further accountability on the part of parents and of people is not immune of all ages for you to not give up this vital opportunity to prevent a disease that can be lethal.""

"3606","The other day I heard with the children of an old episode of ""Benjamin the elephant"": The poor-speaking elephant got the measles. The measles to listen to the whole episode somehow totally cute: You get some funny red dots that can also be used with spit to wipe, is two to three Wöchelchen sick, is beautifully maintained – however, no-sugar piece of food! and is a bit tired. And somehow, I have annoyed me on this image. Because obviously a lot to many people about measles still think exactly as before once Benjamin the elephant: It's not all that bad. Earlier, say many, we survived the but also when there were no vaccinations! We were a little sick, we put in a little chopped off to bed, two to three weeks of rest, maybe the room had to be darkened, so maybe there was a bit of a fever. But otherwise: Cozy time wasting, and after that, everything is the same again. From this point of view, you don't understand then perhaps why now all of the upset is large, if the number of measles illnesses rises again, and it still does not succeed, the pathogen globally. A few facts: Approximately 110 000 people have died in the year of the measles, most of whom were children. Approximately 6.7 million people worldwide are ill. In Germany, the number of Patients is about 1000 Maserfällen almost three times as high as the year before. At the same time, many small children are not vaccinated sufficiently, and also in adults, the second dose, which promises only the full Vaccination is often lacking. The ""national action plan for elimination of measles"" has not been met – again. What is the reason? On the one hand on the still-belittling image of measles, see Benjamin Blümchen. On the other hand, the measles vaccination is likely to be the victims of their own success. The vaccination would not be as effective as we would witness in their own environment more frequently measles diseases and their possible consequences in the case of a complicated and terrible history: in death, severe brain inflammation, paralysis, disabilities, pneumonia, otitis media and severe hearing impairment, etc. The never, you can weigh easily in safety, forget to protect our children (and by the way, all the other with, can not be vaccinated).

"32105","Europe is unable to get rid of the measles, was the title of an article in the journal.it is now three and a half years. In the period since then, the picture has not gotten worse. While the latest data from the World Health Organization (WHO) indicate that in 2016 we recorded the historical low of deaths from this disease at the global level, the increase of outbreaks in Europe has been unstoppable. At the end of August, cases of measles in Europe already numbered more than 41,000 in 2018, nearly double the total of last year, which was 21.315. What's alarming is that in 2016 the affected by the measles had been only 5.237. The growth of the disease is still exponential. Why is this return of a problem that, although it was never eradicated across the continent, remained for a long time in very low numbers? The temptation is to aim directly and solely to the movement antivacunas, the groups of people who are opposed to vaccinating their children on the basis of alleged -and non-existent, as they have proven to the scientists - relationships between vaccines and such problems as autism, allergies and cancer. However, the reasons are multiple and diverse: they vary according to which countries of Europe is talking about. And is that the epidemic does not reach all the countries of Europe. According to data of the WHO, has been incensed with Ukraine, which took place 23,000 41,000 cases of 2018, 56%. In other countries there were more than a thousand people sick: Romania, Russia, France, Georgia, Serbia, Italy and Greece. In order to understand their causes you must analyze each case in particular. Different contexts, different reasons Good part of the territory of Ukraine is a war zone from 2014, which has also led to a significant economic crisis. It is known that these are two of the main causes, also, of the serious problems to health. There you have to search the reasons of the outbreak uncontrolled measles in that country. In April of this year, the United Nations Fund for Children (UNICEF) delivered 800 thousand doses of vaccine against measles to the Ukrainian authorities, in an attempt to return to raise the immunization levels, which fell from 98 % in 2006 to a dramatic 42 % a decade later. In Romania, the epidemic started in 2016 and has claimed the lives of at least 55 people, of which only one was immunized. There yes that antivacunas have played an important role: many famous led campaigns in the media that warned of the supposed dangers of vaccination. But that is not all. Some doctors romanians also highlighted that the dose of vaccines that have are insufficient, while large segments of the rural population -many of them roma groups - refuses to be in the health centres, sometimes in obedience to popular beliefs and in other cases because they feel rejected by the health system. Italy, for its part, yes he has experienced in his own flesh the influence of the movement antivacunas. The Movement 5 Stars, winner of the last elections (six months ago), campaigned on a program against the vaccine: if well is not opposed to all, has reiterated time and time again the arguments -discredited by science - that speak of a link between them and diseases such as autism. The case is that Italy has never reached the rate of immunization is optimal recommended by the WHO (which is 95%): your maximum was 90.6% in 2010. The latest data stands at 85%. The case of France demonstrates that it is not necessary that a country suffers economic hardship to suffer outbreaks of measles. Three people have died there since last November because of this disease. In January of this year, the Ministry of Health of the country neighbor was established that, in order to be accepted in the nursery or in the school, the children would no longer have received a minimum of three vaccinations, as it was until then, but eleven. The immunization rate in the country is 90%. What happens in Spain? The measles epidemic that plagues the continent does not affect Spain. The WHO has highlighted that more than three years ago that does not produce contamination within our borders, by which endemic transmission of the disease is considered eliminated. This does not mean that there are not cases: there were 160 in 2017, more than triple the number of those registered the previous year, as explained by the Advisory Committee on Vaccines of the Spanish Association of Pediatrics (AEP). The autonomous community most affected has been that of Navarre, with more than 20 cases per each million inhabitants, while in Aragón, Asturias, Cantabria, Galicia, the Basque Country and the Balearic islands, there was none. The key to keeping these records is, of course, in the vaccination. According to the reports of the World Bank, the immunization rate in our country reaches 97%, that is to say, two percentage points above what is recommended by WHO to achieve the so-called z. A term that the Spanish Association of Vacunología defined as ""the protection of a given population with an infection due to the presence of a high percentage of immune individuals"". That way, ""decreases the probability of contact between a susceptible and an infected, until a time comes in which it blocks transmission of the infectious agent"".

""Impfzurückhaltung is problematic,"" said Theurer, therefore, vaccination was to be considered as Ultima Ratio needed. In lower Saxony, there was an increased occurrence of measles Spahn had made to his time as health politicians of the CDU/CSU group in the Bundestag already for mandatory measles vaccinations for children. The reason for the renewed debate of an increased occurrence of measles cases among others in lower Saxony Hildesheim. In view of this outbreak the German society for child and youth medicine (DGKJ), had spoken out recently again for a vaccination compulsory against measles. Measles are extremely contagious and potentially deadly. The better the vaccination rate, the more secure the life is just for the little ones, said the society. In addition to the acute disease may occur as a late consequence of the so-called SSPE, a usually fatal inflammation of the brain.

After decades of progress, the fight against measles is stagnating and the number of deaths is on the rise again in 2018, have alerted the world health Organization (WHO) and the u.s. health authorities on Thursday 5 December, while outbreaks have taken place in the Pacific to Europe. In total, 142 000 people died in the world in 2018. It is four times less than in 2000, but up 15% from 2017. Most of the dead are children. This virus is one of the most contagious, and can stay in a room two hours after the passage of an infected person. It has caused outbreaks on five continents since 2018, exploding in cities or neighbourhoods where too few people are vaccinated. Five countries account for half of the cases of Five countries have concentrated almost half of the cases in 2018 : the democratic Republic of the Congo, Liberia, Madagascar, Somalia, and Ukraine, according to a report published by the Centers for control and disease prevention, u.s. (CDC). But the virus can travel easily. Israel has seen the importation of one hundred cases from elsewhere, the Philippines and Ukraine... From there, a few travellers infected have transmitted the disease in the jewish districts of New York and contributed to the greatest epidemic in the United States since 1992. In wealthy countries, measles kills no, or very little. But in the DRC, it kills two times more than Ebola : 5, 000 deaths this year. Everyone knows that there is a measles vaccine safe, effective, available everywhere, for fifty years (...) It really is a collective failure to see these epidemics.Kate O'brien, director of immunization at the OMSa AFP A figure illustrates this failure. Since 2010, the proportion of the world's population who received the first dose of vaccine (two recommended) stagnates at about 86%. To prevent epidemics, the goal is 95%. ""There has been no progress in the immunization coverage against measles in a decade,"" says Kate O'brien, director of immunization at the WHO. The distrust of vaccines questioned, But the averages are misleading. Only 61% of countries have reached the 90% for the first dose of the vaccine. There were more in 2013. Europe is almost to the goal average, which has not prevented epidemics because it is sufficient that a community is under-vaccinated for the virus takes hold. In Africa, three-quarters of the population are vaccinated, but this hides regional disparities. Less of an african country on three vaccinated at least 90% of its population. The health infrastructure is still insufficient. In developed countries, the movement of distrust of vaccines has contributed to the resurgence of the disease.

"1433","Currently, in the mainstream media started talking a lot about measles. Many states are trying to enforce the policy of compulsory vaccination of children not only in schools and kindergartens, but even in public spaces. This kind of negotiations is, however, in complete contrast with the facts about measles, as well as about a vaccine against measles, more specifically about the vaccine the MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella). What you in the media tell It, what we see in the media – as explained by Robert F. Kennedy jr., is manipulated by the pharmaceutical industry – is a massive scare campaign accusing of the recent epidemics of measles unvaccinated children to be able to subsequently pursue the policy of compulsory vaccination. However, there is a little problem: Since the introduction of vaccines leads to outbreaks of measles, even in highly vaccinated populations. Numerous studies prove not only that the measles-get vaccinated people, but also that the virus can hide and transmit to other people, even vaccinated individuals. For example, during a measles outbreak in California in 2015 there has been a large number of suspected cases in the freshly vaccinated people. In addition, it has the MMR vaccine serious side effects. Of the 194 the consequences of measles virus, obtained in the year 2015 in the U.S., 73 were identified as consequences of the vaccine (the vaccine is located, although weakened, but live virus measles). Natural treatment of arthritis: Find out how to forever get rid of joint pain by using herbs, diet and exercise. More information here Media, often owned by the pharmaceutical industry, has caused the public great anxiety. This spread of fear has led to the demonisation of unvaccinated children perceived as a disseminator of this disease. Epidemics of measles are partly caused by the living vaccine Rebecca McNallová, co-author of the published report, is the representative organization of the CDC (the us centers for disease control and prevention) of the Department for viral diseases, which have data demonstrating that the measles epidemic was partly caused by the vaccine. This is a proof of the inability of the vaccine to ensure immunity. (source) According to an article published in 1991 in the journal American Journal of Public Health: ""at the Beginning of 1988 occurred at the university of Colorado to the epidemic in 84 cases of measles, where over 98 % of students had documented adequate immunity against measles... thanks to the requirement for vaccinations in force since 1986."" (source) the Study, published in the highly esteemed Bulletin of the World health organization, take a closer look at the recent incidence of measles in China and found that in the period 2009-2012 took place in the country to 707 epidemics of measles, with a sharp increase trend in 2013. ""The number of cases of measles reported in the first ten months of 2013 – 26 443 cases – was three times the number of cases reported for the full year 2012."" It's strange, when we consider that since 2009 ""...the first dose of vaccine containing the measles virus will get more than 90 % of cases the target population and should therefore ensure collective immunity"". (source) Has also published a study in the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases, whose authors are scientists working for the Vaccine committee of the Department of health and mental hygiene the city of New York, National center for immunization and respiratory diseases and Centers for disease control and prevention (CDC) of the city of Atlanta, state of Georgia. This study looked at data from a measles outbreak in New York in 2011, which showed that individuals with prior evidence of measles vaccination and vaccine immunity, they were able with measles not only infected, but also infecting other (secondary transfer). (source) the List of examples is long and suggests that instead of looking at this as a failure of the vaccine, we're looking at it as a neglect of vaccination. The mainstream media is on these facts at all do not focus. Mortality due to measles versus mortality due to measles, According to research MedAlerts database to the FDA, called the Reporting system of adverse reactions to vaccines (VAERS), as one of the 5. February 2019, the total gross number of adverse reactions only as a result of the vaccine against measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine since its introduction in the united states amounted to 93 929 adverse reactions, 1 810 mutilation, 6 902 hospital admissions and 463 deaths. For compensation to the families of children damaged by vaccination has paid to the National revenue about the damage caused to children by vaccination of approximately $ 4 billion. Even more alarming than the astronomical amounts of fines, claims HHS, that the reporting system of adverse reactions to vaccines (VAERS) with an estimated reporting only 1% of the damage as a result of vaccination. If the data from VAERS and HHS correct – that it reported only 1% of the damage as a result of vaccination, and only 1/3 of lawsuits to get compensation – then 99 % of the cases the damage remains undocumented and the families of the vast majority of people damaged as a result of vaccination bear the costs for the flawed products to the manufacturer of vaccines. In the period of years 2013-2017 measles killed two people, but the vaccine is a killed 127. The chances of deaths due to measles are 0,01 % to 0,02 %, which means that there is a much higher chance of being struck by lightning. If your kids plus they get measles, they will be all the life immune, which can't be said about the vaccinated children. Real deaths (including those unreported or unrecognized) as a result of the MMR vaccine over a period of years 2013-2017 can be up to 12.700 (127 x 100). When the number of vaccinated children (in the US) about 20 million for 5 years might therefore be the real rate of deaths from MMR vaccine to up to 0.06 % (12.700 / 20.000.000) – which is 3 to 6násobně more than the above rate of deaths due to measles 0,01 % to 0,02 %. In other words, today on the consequences of vaccination against measles apparently more people die than would have died if against them at all neočkovalo. Therefore, those who carry out their research, a big problem to understand what is the meaning of all vaccination – and even worse, mandatory vaccination, especially when the vaccine seems to be more dangerous than the measles.

It seems that preparing in our country a local epidemic of measles. Meanwhile, antyszczepionkowcy claim that it is a manipulation designed to motivate people to receive vaccines as soon expire their shelf life and pharmaceutical corporations do not want to allow to go to waste. Antyszczepionkowcy led by George Finch of several days, according to Facebook, that information about HIV prevalence measles in Mazovia is the manipulation of the media primarily on the potential szczepionkobiorców.

Vaccines shown in the documents provided antyszczepionkowców actually expire until the end of December, and the timing of future end in the first months of 2019. However, this is only a few thousand vaccines against measles. Given the fact that Poland is born less than 400 thousand children a year, and the vaccine against measles necessarily specified twice – in excess of the first year of life and in the ninth year of life is a vaccine these diverge literally like hot cakes. Moreover, the Scriptures share with antyszczepionkowców date lipcową, which means that a very large part of these vaccines (or all) are already annoying, that is, before the expiry of their shelf life. The Aztec pattern of the patient from the XVI century. Source: Viruses, Plagues and History: Past, Present and Future, Oxford University. To add to the topic, I would like to answer another important question. Many people ask about whether to be vaccinated in adulthood. Przytoczmy so, a few facts. The first dose of measles vaccine was introduced in Poland as a mandatory in 1975, and the second dose is valid since 1991. This means that a significant portion of the elderly and middle-aged people did not take the measles vaccine, and many adults, relatively young, can only get one dose and, therefore, has not acquired full stability. There are also children who have not received the vaccination because they are too small, or had received only first dose, and the second is their waiting. Finally, there are those that cannot be zaszczepieni for health reasons or because of immune system diseases and vaccinations so they don't work. All this creates significant risks for a significant portion of the population. Therefore, what should be done? First see your medical history – if it had a measles vaccination, and if so, what was only one dose or two. Business facilitates speculation, rocznikiem as indicated in the previous paragraph years. If there was no vaccine or only received one dose to ask about vaccinations your doctor or nurse. If you after receiving both doses (as in my case), it is possible to be sure to check the level of antibodies IgG (immunoglobulin G) against measles virus. This blood test.

The cases of measles in the world have almost been multiplied by three since January compared to the same period last year, announced the world health Organization (WHO), on Tuesday, August 13. In total, 364 808 cases were recorded from 1 January to 31 July, compared to 129 239 on the first seven months of the year 2018.

The South-East Asia and the Americas region as a whole, have each recorded a decrease of 15% of the cases. The movements in the ""antivax"" have their share of responsibility for The epidemics of measles, the most important arise in countries where the measles vaccination coverage is low. In western countries, the ""antivax"" is based on a publication from 1998 linking the measles vaccine and autism. The WHO has swept several times these criticisms and it has been established that the author of the publication, the British Andrew Wakefield, had falsified his results. The distrust may also have religious reasons, such as in New York, where the disease has been imported by travelers who are not vaccinated from Israel. Measles is one of the most contagious diseases in the world and the deaths are most often due to complications. There is no curative treatment, but it can be prevented by two doses of a vaccine ""safe and highly effective"", according to the WHO. The agency believes that any person older than 6 months should be protected against measles before travel to an area where the virus circulates.

Prof. Cormican added: ""This year the theme is vaccination and it’s important to ensure that we, as health care professionals, are aware of the role vaccination plays in protecting patient health and the health of our families.

All residents, whether israeli or foreign, can benefit from this effective network. These days, in the neighborhood of Baka in Jerusalem-West as elsewhere, families must accept a waiting time unusual. We press, we questioned the nurses, there is a occupation for little ones look forward. Come on, even a cartoon ! It is necessary to be deaf, blind, or removed at the end of the desert of the Negev to ignore the calls of alarmist israeli authorities. Measles is devastating.

Haifa, the third largest city in the country ? Two cases only. Rishon LeZion, the fourth agglomeration ? Four cases. These huge differences have an obvious explanation.

Besides the organizational problems which may appear in families numerous, sometimes attempted to extend this procedure to handle multiple children on the same day. Bad calculation : measles, very contagious, can spread from home home. In emergency situations, the ministry of health has launched an information campaign and reinforced the medical device to ensure the vaccinations.

The United States have recorded their highest number of measles cases in the last 25 years.

"1546","A Danish project to establish the extent to which children in the future should get the MMR vaccine already in six-month age - above 15 months today. Infants are no longer so well protected against measles before they get the MMR vaccine, as in the past. Therefore, a new Danish research project now investigate whether the MMR vaccine can be given already at six months of age to reduce the risk of measles and strengthen the children's immune systems. In the day to have the infants in the Danish childhood immunisation programme the MMR vaccine when they are 15 months old to ensure protection against measles, rubella and mumps. But the new research may reveal whether the vaccine should, in future, be carried out even earlier. New dialogue with the population - What we have seen in recent weeks, speaks for itself, says Lone Graff Stensballe from BorneUngeKlinikken at The Juliane Marie Centre to the TV 2. She is the research director on the project, as the innovation foundation supports with 23 million, and refers to that doctors across the country Monday received a letter from the Danish Agency for Patient safety, after it emerged that the two danes have been infected with measles in Val Thorens in France. - Things that happen out in Europe, but we have a good opportunity to have a good childhood vaccination coverage. We have advice and logistics. Anyway we get an epidemic of a disease which we have known for a long time, and as we have been able to vaccinate against, since the'80s. We need a new and positive dialogue with the population about the vaccinations. And we should have followed up on the vaccination programme. Measles provides cold symptoms, conjunctivitis, lysskyhed, fever and rash. It is especially unvaccinated young children and adults who are at risk. The disease is not harmless - especially if you have a bad immune system, informs the practitioner Birgitte Ries Turbines to TV 2 NEWS. Unprotected in nine months today, has the most mom even got the MMR vaccine. It means that the child will get a lower content of antibodies transferred from the mother, and these antibodies disappear quickly. Why is the child worse protected against measles and other infections in the MMR vaccine. Already at six months of age, the children are no longer protected against measles, as was previously the case. This means that there are nine months where the child is not protected, when they get the vaccine at 15 months of age, as is the case today, explains forskningslederen. - In the'80s fit 15 months of age with the majority of the population had high antibodies to measles, because they got the measles. For example, I have had the measles, explains Lone Graff Stensballe. According to the researcher, the coherence previously shown in several studies from Turkey, Portugal, China, Belgium and the Netherlands. Completely biased - For me as a paediatrician is it completely biased, if we are to have epidemics of diseases which we can vaccinate against. Some are very seriously sick and injured. It is unacceptable, when we have vaccinations, which can alleviate the problem, says the researcher, who also would like to get a different aspect to life. - We're talking about drug-resistant bacteria, so when you have had measles, you have an increased risk of getting infections. The population must believe in the vaccine and get it. The dialogue we have to have. Yes, there are the side effects of the vaccine, but they are not objectives, what infections does to people, says Lone Graff Stensballe. Invitation to the mom IN the MMR vaccine-the study shall examine whether it is better for the child to get the MMR vaccine at six months of age, not only to achieve an earlier protection against measles, but the hope is also to reduce the number of hospitalizations due to infections in 6-12 months of age, which can ultimately strengthen the child's immune system in general. In addition, test studio, where low mother level of antibody must be with the child before the MMR vaccine turns an. In march begins the scientists to send letters out to potential participants.

Runs over four years the Project runs over four years until 2023. The first two years consists of recruitments and vaccinations. In 2021 it goes in time with the analysis of the results.

The movements antivacunas argue that to follow them would mean putting yourself at the mercy of the large companies and pharmaceutical companies. It was thus that, with the passing of the years, rates of vaccination of this disease were below the recommended percentage of the 95% of the population. “Each one of the people not vaccinated remain vulnerable wherever they are located and, for this reason, all countries must continue to work to amplify the vaccination campaigns, and finish with the other sectors of the population not immunized,” said for his part dr.

In 2011, was last seen on a very large measles epidemic, resulting in only EU and EEA countries within the disease infected 30,000 people. What measles is? Once the killer measles has become rare in Finland after the 1982 small children began to be vaccinated with two MMR-vaccination dose 14-18kk and 6 years of age. Disease the most common symptoms include high fever, cough and runny nose. Four days of the onset of symptoms ill get a rash, which is measles the characteristic. The disease lasts about a week and can also be exposed to secondary diseases, such as ear infection or pneumonia. – Measles is very normal that when enough to receive the vaccine or the disease of the sick from non-is population enough for a lot of, epidemics arise. The last epidemic started in Romania, where a large part of the population is unvaccinated, the Bear told me. Advertisement (article continues below) the WHO considers vaccination as an important means in the fight against the disease. High unvaccinated rate in Europe is now strongly spread on the disease. The reasons for some poor vaccine coverage of the continent are many. – Part of the population can be vaccinated unprofitable, therefore, that the vaccination program has been started later or it has not been as comprehensive as in finland, for example, so not everyone is protected from disease. Also the vaccine illegality and migration, traffic impact, these together contribute to the fact why measles prone to occur in the general population a lot, Bear to the sum. 2:07 in finland, the coverage is good, but the regional epidemic is a potential Advertisement (article continues below) in Finland was found to measles in the year 2017 a total of 11 cases. They all infected due to imported disease. In the whole country, the measles vaccine coverage is around 95%, which is sufficient to prevent the spread of disease. THL point of view of the European epidemic is worrying, as it allows the local epidemic in Finland. For example, in Ostrobothnia is municipalities where vaccination coverage remains at 70%. If measles ill visit your area, it can be affected by the other. – Measles is a disease that spreads very sensitively, so unvaccinated to it get sick.

Francis George says that there are “serious circumstances”, and he admits that it may register more cases in the next few days, but he also rejects a “global problem” since “the majority of the population is secured.” We have a serious illness. Measles is a disease that can evolve in a bad direction, and we are faced with situations of concern,” said the director-general of Health, admitted to be “an activity of the epidemic”, but avoiding the “big problems, because the vast majority of the population (97, 98, 99%), is secured against its own reason for existing”. This protection comes from the fact that one has already had measles in the past, people over the age of 40), and the majority of those who are under 40 years of age have been vaccinated, he said. On the recent reports, confirmed mostly in children who have not been vaccinated, Fred and George said, “it is absolutely mind-boggling that a mother and a father, not a vacinem of the child.” And he repeated, “there is no justification whatsoever for a mother or a father, a family, decide on the non-protection of the child and the parents were supposed to be “educads in the sense that it does not have the right to endanger the lives of their children.” That is, the mother or the father can decide to health care in terms of the protection of the child? We need to ask ourselves. I would say that, in terms of good practice, all parents are required to attend to the advice of the medical council and issued by the Directorate-General of Health, in order to, as soon after the birth, and to begin a national program of vaccination, which is free of charge and without any obstacles.” And it goes even further, suggesting that vaccination should be mandatory, “So if the education is mandatory, why is it that the vaccination may not be required? Not currently, but that is a topic for debate. There are no taboo subjects”. On Monday, by 18: 30, the DGS will issue a new press release detailing this very subject. The press release revealed at the end of the week, there are six cases of hospitalization due to measles in the region of Lisboa, one of whom is a teenage girl who had to be transferred in a severe state of Cascais and the Hospital D. Estefania. The first infection has been detected in a child of 13 months, you do not have the vaccine, which was admitted to the hospital on the 27th of march, and once you are infected, five part-time employees, and that they were vaccinated have had the disease, but more mild. Measles is a disease that is infectious, more infectious, and can result in serious illness or even death, and it has been several years in the subsidiary in the Uk. Consider this if you are already protected against measles, people who have had the disease, or who have two doses of the vaccine, in the case of those under the age of 18, and a portion when it comes to adults. More than 500 cases of measles have been reported this year alone in Europe, affecting at least seven countries, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).",649,"portugal"

"15102","Romania is experiencing the biggest outbreak of measles in the past seven years. There are about 7500 patients, and the 31 people were killed. In full epidemic, the Usa did not have the dose of vaccine to protect people against the disease. In the first five months of this year, the Ministry of Health was based on a book of more than 200,000 doses of the remaining of the last year, have signed a contract for the supply of the vaccine, the MMR. A mistake from which they learned the neighboring countries, apparently, they're the only ones who feel vulnerable in the face of measles. Timişoara, romania, June 2017 at the latest. Hundreds of kids have come in every single month of the last year, and the Hospital for Infectious Diseases ""Victor Babes"" diagnosis of measles. The eight were killed. Timis has been the center of the outbreak of measles in the Usa - the sea, the European Union, in the last few years. By the hand of the doctor that Virgil Must have been the lives of thousands of children. ""At the peak of the epidemic in the months of December, January, February, and even march, we had about 200 or 300, and even 400 cases of the measles in a month. For us, the practitioners, the most difficult thing in this outbreak, there were the tragic moments when we had to notify relatives of a death,” says dr. Virgil Musta, a doctor at the Hospital, ""Victor Babes"" university of Timi<U+0219>oara, romania. Monica was Bright, leading the department of infectious diseases, the Institute ""Matei Bals"" in the nation's Capital. For the parents, without any experience, it can be tricky, especially at the start. The doctor explains that in the early days, rujeloa it manifests as a common cold: fever, you got the eyes, you clear your throat. ""After that, it starts to show the rash. First, they occur on the face, the neck, the next day, I go through the abdomen and the thorax, and on the third day shall be the norm already. Are complications - pneumonia, measles, which is a very, very severe, or may occur, encephalitis, measles, which is very severe, even during the period of the state. After 5 days, the 6th day, the rash is pigmentează, takes on the appearance as if the skin would not be soiled. It is a viral disease, so I don't have a need for an antibiotic,” explains prof. dr. Monica, a Bright, a physician at the Institute ""Matei Bals"" in Bucharest, romania. The fatality rate is very high, ""and Is recognized as being one of the most highly contagious of the infectious diseases. I mean, the degree of spreading is very high. Basically, in order for a case of measles, we have up to 10 to 15 cases of side effects in a few days,” said the doctor, Adriana Pistol. Dr. Adriana Pistol, is the director of the National Centre for Surveillance and Control of the Disease Transmisible. Here, they have been carried out in all cases of the disease. ""We do have a fatality rate as we call it, high, very high. More than the writing of literature,” says she. In the Usa, measles has skyrocketed over the past year. In the first nine months of 2016, have been confirmed more than 700 cases of measles and three deaths of children under one year of age. Since then and up until now, the number of cases has reached nearly 7,500 up. 31 people died. In the region of Transylvania and the Banat, have been confirmed the most cases of measles, i.e., in the Timiş, Caraş-Severin and Arad. At best, they state, the counties in the south, both in the number of candidates, as well as that of the dead. ""There's no way we can be happy and satisfied that you are going to spend for such an event. There are countries in the world where you can't see a case like this for years. And, the World Health Organization is just one of the major objectives for Europe that this disease will be eliminated,” adds dr. Adriana Pistol, head CNSCBT. Measles is the leading cause of death in children around the world. In 2015, the World Health Organization has recorded 134.200 of the victims. In Europe, the ultimimele few decades, there has been a significant decrease in the number of illnesses as a result of the vaccine. The only way to go against measles in the Last outbreak of measles in the Usa was in 2012. Of the more than 7,400 patients, only one died. In 2010 to 193 cases In 2011 - 4784 cases - 1 death, In 2012, 7,450 cases, 1 death In 2013, 1,159 cases, 1 fatality In 2014, and 165 cases In 2015, and 55 of the cases, the Vaccination has proved the only reliable method of protection in the face of measles. However, in recent years, the immunization rate is getting worse and worse, as a result of the refusal of the parents to the vaccination. In the Usa, the situation is even more dire: there is a clear record of the number of children vaccinated, so none of the children who are not immunised because their parents didn't want that. ""It's quite possible that at the present time, we have to have a bit more immunized than the report, because there are many people who vaccinate in in some other private setting, outside of the doctor's family. There are pediatricians, neonatologists, epidemiologists, who have clinics that vaccinate in the legal children, so that parents would prefer to go into the environment to immunize their children with vaccines that have bought. Anywhere, and it would be a given, the problem is that there is a severe shortage of the electronic reporting system. The system does not report, than a general practitioner. Access to the system is not an easy task. We basically are forced to do this by being stationed in the system, but the private sector is not obliged to make the additional red tape,” says dr The Alexiu, the president of the Association of Family Physicians Bucharest, romania. The problems of the supply of the vaccine, the Romanian Children are not immunised because the vaccine comes on and off. ""At the moment, which don't have vaccines at all the effect of the movement of the antivacciniste is negligible, if any of those who want to vaccinate your kids, don't do it. Romania makes a request for vaccines today and we want you to have them over for a week. The other countries that contract for at least one year prior to that, some of the vaccines that have production runs that are going up for almost two years now. The global market is a matter of a few years of production, that a production unit can take up to ten years in order to be certified for quality standards. Accordingly, a manufacturing unit does not occur overnight. It takes a very long time. The world's capacity for production, it fails to satisfy one hundred percent of the demand, and the Usa hasn't noticed that things are getting worse, and he continued to work on the contract, which can operate in a couple of years ago, but now it no longer works satisfactorily,” says Alan Smith, dir. rel. ext. ARPIM. ""I don't know that we don't have some of the stocks that you would have to ask you to put in the work, the people in the ministry that we manage, in order to avoid this kind of situation. That's what I want to do, and I ask you to do it,” he said to Sorin Grindeanu on April 5, 2017. ""In the ten counties we were informed that we had reached the bottom of the barrel, the reason for that has been done, the procedures, and today, I have signed up to start the procedure for the acquisition of a number of of the 115,000 doses of the vaccine, the MMR. At the same time, it continues and the proceedings for acquisition, the framework agreement for the procurement of the vaccine, the MMR,” he răspsundea after the Players, current and former minister of Health. Without them, in the full epidemic In April, have already been confirmed over 4,000 cases of measles. The 18th, they were dead. In the middle of the epidemic, the Ministry of Health does not have a contract for the supply of the vaccine, the MMR, which provides protection against measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine. The minister of Health, after the Players refuse to be interviewed on camera, but you state that: ""At the end of the year 2016, at the national level, there is a stock of 207.652 doses of the vaccine, the MMR. Of this amount, naturally, would have to be for a period of approximately 4 months in the year 2017 (April 2017). Lowering the age of vaccination at 9 months of age (at 12 months), the enhancement of the vaccination, at the level of the family doctors and the mobilisation of all the professionals involved in order to identify all children in the age groups from the age of 9 months, the 9 - year-old, and the different degrees of vaccination, registered in the family doctor resulted in some of the districts most affected by measles, in fact, the depletion of the stocks of the vaccine.” Who is selling the vaccines At the one month of the Meeting of the Government of india, Ministry of Health assigns to it by the urgency procedure for two contracts for the supply of the vaccine, the MMR, in the amount of more than a million dollars. For the money, they had purchased nearly 120,000 doses They were supposed to be, not only to the children when they reach nine months old, and those of you who have reached the age of 5 and 7 years of age, according to the national vaccination schedule. Dosages are found again to be insufficient. The data of the SEAP shows that in 2012, the Ministry of Health has entered into contracts for the supply of the vaccine, the MMR, in the amount of more than eur 9 million. In the period from 2012 to 2014, the contract for the supply of the vaccine, amounting to more than 4 million euros, has been awarded a & g med trading SRL. Then, in the period from 2014 to 2016, the Ministry awarded a contract in the amount of more than 3.7 million company-distributors of medicines Farmexpert DCI SRL. After a period of five months, during which time the Ministry of Health has not had a contract for the supply of the vaccine, the institution completes the arrangements for the contingency of two contracts, each worth more than 940,000 euros, entered into with Farmexpert DCI SRL, and in the amount of more than 78,000 euros with the prodfucătoare of the vaccine, GlaxoSmithKline, LLC. ""Difficult heritage"", the Minister of Health after the Players, he knew that the country now faces a crisis of the vaccine, since the taking of his first term, from January 4, 2017. In the two weeks since his arrival, conveyed through a press release that it ""has found it's a slippery slope, with the vaccines, inadequate, or just not purchased. Out of the 5 vaccines is the binding that should be immune to the children, it is only in the case of the vaccine against this disease, namely the vaccine of BCG is dose enough. In the case of all other vaccines, we have concluded that there was no stock or stock is insufficient, or even a vaccine is not acquired (the vaccine is diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough)”. Six months later, the situation is not much different than. The crisis of the vaccine, WHICH seems to be solved, there remains the question of the other shots. The vaccine, hexavalent, which is used for the prevention of illness, by diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, polio, hepatitis B, and Haemophilus B is missing from some of the best doctors for your family. Irina Manolache has become a mother for the second time in just over a month ago, and he has the experience to make your own out of vaccines for their children now, two years and four months. ""The very first child I bought all of her shots. It was the beginning of the crisis. Things have changed quite a bit, and when he came to the second pregnancy and the second child is a month in which you will have to do the first vaccine at the age of two months. The first obstacle that I encountered was in the hospital, where he was already in one of the shots. Namely, in the maternity ward at the present time is only a vaccine against tuberculosis. The one against hepatitis B, did not find any on the market. Peter has already been a month, and we've been going for some time to see what we can do to get this vaccine. My family doctor doesn't have them. I don't have them for months. He has hold of a bunch of kids who are already past the age in which it was supposed to happen the first vaccination, two months ago. There are somewhere around six or seven months ago, and I have done the first vaccine, and at the time it receives the dose, which, of course, that's not enough to vaccinate all of the children that you have in your records, get your priorities in order. So, no hiding it, I started to activate all of the relationships that we have in the medical field to see if it was an option to him, we'll get them to Peter, in the same way. There are some websites from where you can purchase these vaccines, it's just that you have to order a minimum of ten units, otherwise you don't get it. I need three, and you have to find seven more people to fill up those ten units. Another option would be to get us from the outside. It must be kept at a certain temperature, and there is a risk that you take. I've even heard of cases of doctors who have agreed to vaccinate children with a vaccine brought in by the parents of the other parts in the same order that they were afraid, because they have not been complied with, the conditions of carriage. And then make a vaccine out of nothing, or are there other repercussions that some of the doctors, of course, you don't want to take them on,” says Irina Manolache. Why can't they find a vaccine in the pharmacy, the Vaccine is nowhere to be found in drugstores: - I don't get it and I don't even have it until 2018, I don't think I'll make it. I just got an e-mail that it will be. So, honestly I have a niece who I brought from Greece. Have been looking for in Bulgaria, I have found, and I was just in Greece, and they found him. I went to 13 pharmacies in various districts of Bucharest, and all over the place, we were told that this vaccine is not to be found, with the exception of one. I just found a good dose to the pharmacy, located on the doorstep of the Ministry of Health. How would I be able to buy it? Come up with a recipe with a bag? I'll call him right now if you want. How much does it cost? - 281-of the lions. ""Why don't you find it in the drugstore, I'll tell you what, I don't find it at the pharmacy. At the time that the company has won the bid, no one else is watching what is going on, two years ago, in the land of the lost, and they're going into other markets. It's a very good attitude and it's normal. The ones who win all the time, in the first place is the public square, just to make it clear, in public, which means you have to deliver it to the state in which you promised to deliver. I think that this is the only area of the pharmaceutical industry is the shortage of continuous production. I mean, they produce less than what is required,” explains Tibor Pentek, a former adviser to the federal government. Tibor Pentek, has been the country manager of Sanofi Pasteur, one of the world's leading pharmaceutical manufacturers in the world. In the month of may has been designated by the prime minister Sorin Grindeanu advisor to the government responsible for the crisis of the vaccine. ""With the hexavalentul, as far as I understand it, the Ministry has signed a contract to have it delivered, and at the moment there is a stock in the county, and I have what I have, and they will come, and the dosages below. They came here in June, about 50,000 doses, and by the middle of November to deliver another 250,000 doses. (Interviewer: And then how do we explain it? I don't go to the doctors to get the shot?) It's hard to know where to go. The easiest way is to put the blame on others, isn't it? This is a national sport, instead of pointing the finger at others. Is not going to solve anything,” says Tibor Pentek. The contracts for a lot of money In the first three months of this year, the Ministry of Health does not have a contract for the supply of no to the vaccine, hexavalent. In march, he signed a contract on a matter of urgency, in the amount of $ 19 million and a half euros. In 2013, the Ministry of Health has entered into contracts for the purchase of a hexavalent vaccine in the amount of 46 million euros. In the period from 2013 to 2016, contracts for the provision of the hexavalent vaccine has been assigned to the company a & g med trading, is currently situated in the insolvency proceedings. In may 2016, with the contract for the provision of the hexavalent vaccine in the amount of 8.6 million euros, is awarded by means of an emergency Unifarm site, the drug of the state. In march 2017, and the Ministry of Health awarded a contract of more than 19.5 million euros in the drug Farmexpert DCI SRL. Why are the seizures from the vaccines, regular basis that the practice in 2015 of the lowest rates in Europe when it comes to the purchase of the drugs, including the vaccines included in the immunization program, there is another reason why in our country there is such a crisis. ""At the moment, which give you the best price from the baseline in the European Union, which creates a handicap when competing with the other countries. It is a strategy, at the expense of the patients from the Usa. At the time, who set the lowest price in the Usa and Germany and has a price tag, which can be four times as great, there is the temptation for all times to the authorized dealer to have them take it off the market in the Usa at the cheapest price, and sell them in Germany for a few days at a profit, which can be up to ten times longer than it should have been able to achieve in the Usa, and as many measures of control, and we are trying different arrangements of the controls in this chapter for the storage of medicines on the Romanian market,” explains Alan Smith, dir. rel. ext. ARPIM. And this is all perfectly legal. Parallel exports may not be banned permanently on the territory of Romania. They are regarded as intra-community trade and have been declared legal. When you are faced with a crisis, the authorities may prohibit the export, of a medicinal product, but only for a specified period of time. As a rule, for six months. The warning signal pulled by a doctor in the Ukraine, Răspâdnirea fast of measles in the Usa has alerted the neighbouring countries. In Ukraine, the Embassy of the United States has issued a warning to u.s. citizens on the territory of the country on the outbreak of measles in the Usa. ""There is a high probability that in the Odessa, Ivano-frankivsk, a child or a grown-up, to be ill of the measles in the Usa,"" says Evgeny Komarovsky, a pediatrician in the Ukraine. At the end of the month of January, he was on the account of a Facebook post that he was pulling the alarm . ""I, as a professional in the field of infectious diseases to see how it goes with this disease, and what is the percentage of your death, when you hear that in the Usa they were sick, 3000 children, and they died on the 20th, the rate of mortality does not exist. In the case of measles dying is 1 in 1,000. In about 3000 patients would be able to die in three of them. If you have lost 20 out of the 3000 or hide the number of sick people, or are there other factors that we did not take that into account. That's what I'm worried about,” she attracts the attention of Evgeny Komarovsky. The situation in Romania with regard to the purchase of the vaccines is similar to that of Ukraine. Not for the benefit of those out there, immunization is not a high priority. ""The vaccination doesn't have to be a private matter for parents, but there should also be a policy in this regard. Vaccination should be a criterion for normality. People need to see how the children of the president are shot, as all of the members of the board, should be vaccinated, the news media, we have to look at what happens when parents don't immunize their children. A bunch of people in the case of measles, please explain what it is, Hepatitis B and other diseases, I don't feel bad, they need to see it. The authorities need to ensure that high quality vaccines, appropriate medical care in the event that there are complications after vaccination, provision of vaccinations and humanitarian aid,” says Evgeny Komarovsky. The situation in the EU, Italy is, together with Romania, the european country with the most cases of measles. The other day, the World Health Organization has announced that 43 per cent of the cases of measles at the european level, it is in Italy. The 2,000 miles of the us, the Netherlands, vaccination is a top priority. There, the rate of vaccination to 95%, and in the last epidemic of measles was recorded in 2013 and 2014. That's when he passed away of a single person. ""Here in the Netherlands, our colleagues at the center have done a lot of research and have been looking in particular at the factors which influence the decision of the parent, the parent's decision to vaccinate their child. It seems that the opinion of the physician of the family is crucial. That is why it is very important that your family knows how to have the more up to date on vaccines, and to be able to give you the right answers and to be able to disprove the myths that have been circulating about the side effects of the vaccine,” says dr. Aura Timen, a medical doctor from the Netherlands. The doctor's Aura Timen, the national network, which is keep the Center of the National Control of Communicable Diseases, the Netherlands. Tell that to the country that has adopted the vaccination of children is considered a duty that every parent makes to the household in which they live. ""This outbreak has occurred in a population that is very, how should I say, low in the Netherlands, a small population of about 120,000 people, who refuse to vaccinate purely on religious grounds"", says she. In order to keep things under control, the Ministry of Health of the Netherlands, is actively engaged. They entered into an electronic system from the very first day of my life, where it appears to the medical history of a person, and also to keep track of the vaccines. About a month before a child can be vaccinated, and the parents are receiving a notice in this regard and you are invited to a family doctor's office, where you find out more about the vaccine is that you have to do it. Then, the parents are referred to the center, which is in charge of the vaccination itself. Moreover, the state makes regular public awareness campaigns on all media channels about the benefits of vaccination. ""At the present time, especially in my part of the world where we live, we don't have such a strong effect on infectious diseases, how they felt during the past century and the centuries before that. Then you were a lot of kids. The two tremii of children under the age of ten died of infectious diseases. This is a consequence of the very tragic and that it could not be turned off due to the introduction of the vaccine. All of the vaccination program is supported by the state is, indeed, supported by the state and administered by the centers for vaccination, where they work in the medieci and nurses, technical staff, specializing in the care of the child, and in the area of vaccination,” says dr. Aura Timen. Until the Usa understands that prevention plays a very important role in the well-being of society, the parents have no choice but to do as good as you can. ""As a parent it is frustrating to not be able to vaccinate your kid, no matter what kind of money, no money. For a parent who is willing and wishes it, and considers that it is necessary for the health of your own child to be vaccinated with the vaccine mandatory is just frustrating to not have access to it,” says Irina Manolache, ma",648,"romania"
"2100","The UN agency for children is concerned about the increase, sometimes dramatically, the number of cases in countries such as Brazil, the Ukraine, but also France. A preventable disease, but dangerous. Unicef launched this Friday a cry of alarm at the resurgence of measles in the world, noting that ten countries, including Brazil, Ukraine and France, were responsible for about three-quarters of the total increase in cases in 2018. Globally, 98 countries have reported a greater number of cases of measles in 2018 compared to 2017, and this hinders the progress made in the fight against this disease is highly preventable, but potentially fatal, notes the Un agency for children (UN) in a news release.

We have a vaccine that is safe, effective, and inexpensive compared to a highly contagious disease - a vaccine that has saved nearly a million lives each year over the past two decades,"" said Henrietta Fore, director general of Unicef. More than 35 000 cases in Ukraine, The Ukraine, the Philippines, and Brazil have experienced the most significant increase in the annual case. In 2018, 35 120 cases have been reported in the Ukraine alone, approximately 30 000 more than in 2017. And according to the government 24 042 additional people were infected during the first two months of 2019. In Brazil, 10 of 262 cases were reported, while no cases had been reported the previous year. In France, the increase between 2017 and 2018 has been of 2269 cases, according to Unicef. The poor infrastructure of health, civil unrest, low community awareness, the complacency and reluctance in the face of vaccination have sometimes led to these epidemics in the developed and developing countries, according to the agency. Mistrust and lack of access The world health Organization (WHO) has already alerted about an outbreak of measles in the world, responding to an increase of about 50% of the cases reported last year compared to 2017, making 136 000 lives. The resurgence of this disease, the more contagious as influenza or tuberculosis, is linked in some countries to be claims without medical basis linking the measles vaccine (MMR) to autism, in part disseminated on social media by members of the movement, said the ""anti-vax"". Last month, the WHO classified ""the hesitation with regard to the vaccine"" among the 10 major threats to the health world the most pressing in 2019. The WHO, however, recalled recently that ""the primary reason"" for the failure in the vaccination of children is that ""those who need it the most (...) do not have access to the vaccine"".",646,"france"

For them and for the other “skeptics” the spread of measles in Italy, it should sound like a loud alarm, it supports the newspaper then cites the increase of cases of measles by 2015 and the responsibilities of the antivaccinisti, not speaking, then on to the nonsense (according to the ministry of Health) said the M5S is precisely in this regard. The responsibility of the M5S in the lining of the antivaccinismo ”The M5s, perhaps, – notes the newspaper – is not responsible for the entire spread, given that scepticism about the vaccine is prior to the growth of the party. But the percentage of vaccinated children has declined steadily in recent years, rising from 88% in 2013 to 85% in 2015 . To fight the skepticism about vaccines – said the newspaper – it is not easy, because not even the countless studies health that they will deny any link between vaccines and autism have failed to penetrate the thick cloud stretched from Cricket and people like him. The spread of measles provides to health authorities an opportunity to strengthen their argument by emphasizing the concrete evidence of what inevitably follows when the vaccination drops. In short, the net of the “carried out” so far promises – accompanied by the usual allegations to the press to say “nonsense”, while they should get at least the excuses... even the NYT noticed that the M5S has powered over the years, the culture of suspicion against vaccines and now pretend nothing is happening. As we mentioned, from vaccines to chemotherapy through the AIDS that does not exist and the unnecessary testing, the history of the Movement is full of hoaxes pseudoscientiiche. Grillo and his followers, in their anxiety to show the anti-system have always given the blame to pharmaceutical companies proposing remedies at zero cost to avoid to fatten Big Pharma. This is a fertile humus with which they were fertilized the theories of the anti-vax, that as long as they were useful for being able to obtain the consents were tolerated and which can now be downloaded on the sly. In this sense it is true to say that the Movement is against vaccines is nonsense, but this is only because the M5S is often against the scientific research and medicine that is “official”. Vaccines represent only a part of the question, however, is inseparable from the method by which in the 5-Star discusses certain issues. Cricket has systematically abused the credulity popular when he endorsed fake news on GMOS or on the dangers of certain medical practices. We are just waiting for Grillo apologize for what he said about vaccines, and that in the M5S you face clarity also on other scientific subjects treated up to now with a great approximation. EDIT: Beppe Grillo has, as usual, responded as usual to the Nyt. An analysis of the replication of Cricket is here.",646,"italy"
"1716","This year, measles has caused 37 deaths in Europe. Only a vaccine or history of disease protect against infection. In our country the disease on the map almost completely disappeared from measles has begun in recent years to increase slightly in Finland. The reason is the increased tourism and the epidemic escalation in Europe. This year, the virus has killed Europe 37 people. Last year, measles killed people, particularly in Romania, Greece and Italy. Disease deaths was also in Bulgaria, France, Germany, Portugal and Spain. – Last year, the cases in Finland was 11 and this year the infestation has been 7. In recent years infection due to the right directly to the European situation, the report of the special expert Mia Kontio Health and welfare department. Measles to combat the vaccine. This year two Finnish is infected likely to be at the airport in Thailand and brought the virus with him to Finland. After that, together with infection from the virus has spread to the affected family members in Finland. One was infected in Southern Russia. – People perceive Thailand travel like Europe would go, but there probability of contracting measles is great. Bangkok airport is a huge Asian hub, where a lot of people coming from different countries. Such places are favourable for virus spread, the Bear points out. In finland, the endemic measles has been eliminated effective clinic system. In thailand, health care is not as good, specific expert says. Also in Southeast Asia in the second the finns favoured holiday destination in Indonesia, the virus is on the move a lot. – Remote areas, vaccination is not possible in the same way arrange for all the people. Then a part of the population remains non-vaccination. Last year, measles spread to Finland, Italy travel who with. The measles epidemic is the European countries, at worst, Romania, Italy, Greece and France. The reason for the spread of the disease is the fact that vaccination coverage has been in many countries already for a long time bad. The Virus is spread, especially from Romania to the rest of Europe moving human groups involved. – The last months of the epidemic in Europe has started to fold. For example, in Greece and in Italy, the number of infections is not a population proportion large. It is pretty bad luck, if it the disease however, there get. If the graphics is not displayed, see it here. The world health organization's statistics, the measles cases this year have been in Greece relative to the population significantly more than in Thailand. THL:n the expert believes, however, that thailand's figures are the statistics on the low side. In finland, babies get their first measles vaccine between 12 and 18 months of age. If the family intends to travel to the area in which the infection risk is high, the baby can be vaccinated already at six months of age. The bear does not prohibit travel with the baby to Thailand, even if the child had not yet received the vaccine. – The probability is small, even bad luck can happen. Like a small child still has some months after birth the mother's antibodies. Small children, who are not walking, are a bit better protected in that they have no direct contact with other people, and they don't eat with utensils, or open the door or touch the places around them.

Let's see some newspaper headline of the day on June 22, 2017: Scoundrels to TGCom24, that “the Vaccines, the child profile similar to leukemia dies in Monza for complications from measles | Lorenzin: “Respect the science”” changes to “Vaccines, child profile similar to leukemia dies in Monza for complications from measles | Primary: siblings not c'entrano” where it disappears in the phrase “Child infected by siblings are not vaccinated.“ Here's what he reported in full before the change: The child would be infected by his older brothers who had not been vaccinated. To confirm this, sources are hospitals, according to which the family would have preferred not to vaccinate the two older children, in spite of the smallest, precisely because of the leukemia, he had a compromised immune system, and therefore could neither be vaccinated nor to defend itself against any infections. On the 23rd of June 2017 the primary of Monza, the, dr. Andrea Biondi, denies this version of the facts and exonerates the brothers because they would contract the disease after his brother died. It is likely that the journalists, coming to the knowledge of the disease of the other two have colpevolizzati without checking the dates and the story in full. Bad, very bad mainly because of yet another slip in journalism are brought out the worst locations of the online users, from those who have blamed the parents and brothers and sisters to those who seek in every way to defend the position of the antivax. As the child was suffering from acute lymphoblastic leukemia and was weak from the point of view of the immune system, some user had failed even to assert that he could also die from a common cold: Here is a typical example of <exploitation of the media> -for political purposes - a tragic piece of news from the mass media of the state: The death of a child affected by a severe form of leukemia that, subject to the usual chemotherapy radical, having the immune system of the all clear, died due to complications to have contracted the measles (perhaps by older siblings non-vaccinated and without any evident symptom of this disease esantematica. No doctor or politician in favour of the legislation commissioned by the minister of health Lorenzin (PD), has said, however, that, given his already precarious health conditions, the child in question could die also as a result of complications of a cold.

"2104","No doubt, measles is back. In a press release, the Regional Agency for Health (ARS) is reporting an upsurge in the number of sick of the measles, which appeared in particular in the department of Pyrénées-Atlantiques (in connection with a home of people who participated in the Fair at Bayonne ham), and more generally in the south of the region. Also read : Measles : who can catch it ? What are the symptoms ? Who is immune ? Nearly a hundred cases since the beginning of the year In total, between January 1 and may 19, 2019, 98 cases of measles have been reported in New Aquitaine, of which 22 required hospitalization. The median age of the patients is 22 years. Most were not, or insufficiently, vaccinated. With 45 cases, the Pyrénées-Atlantiques are in the department most affected, followed by the Dordogne river (15 cases), the Moors (13 cases), the Gironde (12 cases) or even the Lot-et-Garonne (8 cases), the Charente-Maritime (3 cases), the Haute-Vienne (1 case), and the Correze (1 case). The Pyrénées-Atlantiques, where the immunization coverage is lowest, The ARS pointed out that the vaccination coverage for 2 doses remains low in New-Aquitaine. It amounted to 81% of the regional population but is experiencing strong disparities according to the department. Thus, the vaccination coverage is only 73% in the Pyrénées-Atlantiques department most affected by this new outbreak of measles cases. However, in order to eradicate the disease, it should be that 95% of the population is vaccinated. The Lot-et-Garonne (75,8%), the Dordogne (77,5%), and the Charente river (79.9 per cent) round out the quartet of the departments of the region where the vaccination coverage with 2 doses is the lowest. Conversely, it is in the Gironde (85,1%), in Correze (84,2%) and Haute-Vienne (82,1%) that it is the most high, and even higher than the national average (80,3%). Important : check to be well vaccinated, The ARS requires each check or have it checked by a health professional, he is well vaccinated against measles and, in case of doubt, get vaccinated. From November 2017 to September 2018, the New Aquitaine has experienced a major measles outbreak : 1 000 people have contracted the disease, 1 in 4 resulted in a hospitalization, and 2 people died. Measles is not a benign disease and can lead to respiratory complications (pneumonia) and neurological (meningoencephalitis) that can have very serious consequences. This disease is very contagious : in the absence of vaccination, 1 person can infect up to 20 people. ""The only medication to relieve the symptoms of measles can be given, because unfortunately, there is no treatment to cure this disease. On the other hand, there is a vaccine well tolerated, which has proven its effectiveness to control its spread and avoid serious consequences, "" says the press release of the ARS.

"2108","Since the month of November, the New-Aquitaine is reached by an epidemic of measles. The ARS sounded the alarm after the death of a young woman of 32 years to Poitiers. Jessica, a young woman of 32 years, died of measles at the CHU of Poitiers (Vienne), announced on Tuesday that Bordeaux is the regional Agency of health (ARS), New Aquitaine. This woman was not vaccinated and was admitted to hospital on the 1st of February and then placed in the icu the next day, said the agency in a statement, without giving the exact date of the death. According to his mother, Yolande Riquelmé, who testified at the microphone of France Bleu Poitou, the young woman would have contracted the disease during a visit to the emergency room of the hospital, which has been dealing with an exacerbation of measles between 19 and 22 January last. Jessica, a mother of a 9 year-old child, went to the site to complete paperwork within the framework of the hospitalization of his father. ""When we arrived in the emergency room, there was an epidemic of measles,"" says Yolande Riquelmé. There were plenty of children on the chairs, there was a lot of world suffering from the measles, and it is at this moment that she has contracted. At that time, there was no preventive measure in place: there were plenty of people without a mask,"" said Yolande Riquelmé, which ensures that will be eager to prevent the entourage from Jessica as soon as the announcement of the disease. The latter, who was not vaccinated, would have followed the government guidelines imposed a few years ago. ""Between 1980 and 1986, the vaccine was no longer mandatory, since so-called measles was completely eradicated,"" says the mother of Jessica. The CHU of Poitiers acknowledged in a press release that Jessica was one of five people known to have contracted the disease at the contact of another patient of the hospital at the onset of the first case"". The LRA has tried to remind the ""people-contact"" in order to administer the vaccine, but Yolande Riquelmé is certain: ""We have not been called, or the ARS or by the university hospital of Poitiers"". The regional Agency of health of New-Aquitaine has admitted to being ""moved to the side"" of the victim. ""[It] was only accompanying, it is possible that we have passed next to it. But it is necessary to study what happened. The hospital teams of the CHU of Poitiers are trying to understand the globality of the process,"" The measles epidemic, which is raging in New-Aquitaine since the beginning of November, 2017, ""persists"" in this region. The ARS has identified to this day 269 confirmed cases, including one in four (66) required hospitalization, and four of the patients icu admission. These numbers have more than doubled since January 24, when the ARS were 115 cases that resulted in 32 hospitalizations, including ""on different sites of the university campus"" girondin. ""READ ALSO - What are the symptoms of measles? ""The departments of the Gironde and Vienna, since November 2017, the most affected, but isolated cases of measles, may appear at any location and start an epidemic"", explained the ARS. A few cases have been recorded in Charente-Maritime, in the deux-Sevres, Dordogne, in the Landes and the Pyrenees-Atlantiques, reports France 3 New-Aquitaine. Measles is not a benign disease"". It leads to the possible serious neurological complications or even death. Particularly affecting young adults and children, it is a viral infection that is highly contagious, knowing that an infected person can infect between 15 and 20 people. ""READ ALSO - Bordeaux, france: the measles epidemic is gaining ground Two doses of vaccine are needed ""To curb the epidemic, the ARS request to the entire population to check its vaccination and, in case of doubt, get vaccinated,"" she wrote in a press release. The vaccination coverage in New-Aquitaine is ""not enough"" and ""varies from 70.8% to 81% when WHO recommended coverage of 95 percent,"" says the LRA. ""90% of measles cases were not or poorly vaccinated,"" says the regional Agency of health. On Wednesday, the minister of Health, Agnes Buzyn, urged the French who are not vaccinated against measles to make a ""catch-up"" to halt the epidemic. ""I really take to people who are not vaccinated or who have not vaccinated their children to do a catch-up,"" said the minister on France Inter. ""The most vulnerable people, including those that cannot be vaccinated today, are hampered by the fact that the population is not sufficiently covered by the vaccine and spread the virus"", she justified. According to it, the rate of immunization in the South-west is ""totally inadequate"" to stop the virus. In order to be protected, two doses of vaccine are needed. ""In case of contact with a person infected with measles, non-immunized (unvaccinated, only 1 dose of vaccine or uncertain immunization status) may avoid the disease by being vaccinated within 72 hours after the contact,"" stresses the agency of health. The measles vaccine is part of the 11 vaccines mandatory for children from the 1st January 2018. It is usually given at the same time as vaccines against mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine. It is recommended to issue the first injection at 12 months of age and the second dose between 16 and 18 months. For people who have received only a single dose, it is necessary to administer a second injection. These two injections are sufficient. Between 2008 and 2016, more than 24,000 cases of measles were reported in France (of which nearly 15,000 cases in 2011 alone). Nearly 1,500 cases have presented a pneumopathy serious, 34, a neurological complication. ""There have been twenty deaths from measles since 2008.

""This is the 2nd death caused by this disease in New-Aquitaine and the 3rd in France since November 2017"", announced on Friday that the ARS of New Aquitaine, in a press release. And on the 23rd death due to the disease since 2008. The measles had already killed the 10 February in Poitiers, a mother of 32 years who had never been vaccinated and has contracted the virus, leading his father to the emergency room. And on June 9, this is a man who has been carried away to Marseille, on the eve of her 26 years. Born immunodeficient, it was ""probably contaminated by a near non-vaccinated,"" according to the public Health agency of France. ""The New-Aquitaine is no longer in phase of the epidemic"" but the fight for the vaccination continues, insists his side the ARS. Since the November 6, 2017, 1.096 cases of measles have been confirmed in the region (2.567 in France in total). One out of four cases required hospitalization, twelve patients were transferred in intensive care and two died. ""Nearly 90% of these cases were not or inadequately vaccinated (2 doses needed),"" said ARS. The inadequacy of vaccination coverage in France is in favour of this highly contagious disease: a person can infect up to 20 people. Scepticism in the country of Louis Pasteur, The country has certainly prevented an epidemic like the one that had affected 24,000 people between 2008 and 2012, including nearly 15,000 in 2011. But this does not prevent complications sometimes tragic (pneumonitis, meningo-encephalitis, etc) that, without causing systematic death, may cause serious sequelae. Only medication to relieve the symptoms of measles can be given, because unfortunately, there is no treatment to cure this disease, reminds us of the ARS. The only effective way to protect against measles is vaccination a preventive. This vaccine has existed since 1968. The objective of health authorities is to achieve, as recommended by the world health Organization (WHO), 95% vaccination coverage among those at risk. Adults born after 1980 are part of this category because at the time the vaccination was put in place progressively and the virus was circulating less, and many have never developed antibodies against the disease. However, the coverage with the second dose of the vaccine, which guarantees the immunity, varies now depending on the counties between 62% and 88%, indicated that the public Health France in march. The country of Louis Pasteur is distinguished today by a scepticism against vaccines is quite widespread in its population. Sometimes accused of being dangerous to health, sometimes to be guided by the financial interests of the laboratories, the campaigns for the vaccination are sometimes met with hostility. The government has therefore chosen the regulatory pathway to strengthen the immunization coverage. Children born on or after January 1, 2018 must receive 11 vaccines, including the MMR (measles, mumps, rubella). Before that, there were only three mandatory and eight are recommended. The vaccination of the population had already allowed the transition of 300,000 cases of measles per year in 1985 to 10,000 in 2000.",636,"belgium"

The measles, this infectious disease that we thought was under control (there were, in 1982, 81 of 115 cases of measles in Belgium from 33 in 2008 !) re-emergence of and concerned about the health services in Europe, not to mention Belgium. First alert two weeks ago with 20 cases of measles in the French ski resort of Val Thorens, a resort that attracts many foreign tourists. According to the regional agency of health, ""it is mostly young adults seasonal resident in the station"". This week, the agency monitoring of infectious diseases Sciensano recorded in Brussels, 24 confirmed cases of measles in two weeks, compared to 13 over the whole of the year 2018. In Wallonia, 13 cases have currently been identified. ""It is better to check the vaccination records of the family if you are going to ski, but also more generally if you're traveling,"" says dr. Caroline Fortpied, general practitioner at Spy, a specialist in this disease. More worrying, the WHO also gives the alert : an increase of 50 % of the cases have been reported in the world ! ""We know that we are headed in the wrong direction,"" says the organization. In Europe, nearly 82 600 cases have been identified in 2018, a record high for this decade. Not fear-mongering, however : in our country, the contamination was lower with isolated elements, often of young adults who contracted the disease in the countries nearby : France, Germany, or the countries of the East, of which the vaccination coverage is less good than in Belgium and who are aware of the epidemics and dazzling. In us, this vaccine coverage for the first vaccine is good, reaching 95.8 per cent. ""With a first dose, the vaccine recipient is protected to 95 %"", note the doctor Fortpied. And with the reminder to 12 years, the protection rises to 98 %. The problem is, this recall of pre-teens whose vaccination rate is only 75 %. ""Vaccination at 12 years of age is a wrong age : children are little at the doctor"" and the vaccination is stowed in the bottom. However, this disease cannot be treated only symptomatically. It is highly contagious and is spread by droplets of saliva suspended in the air, and it can have very serious consequences : childhood pneumonia, encephalitis and neurological disease in adults mainly, which can lead to death, in one case in a thousand. ""Then, it's going fast : a patient can potentially infect 12 to 18 people"", raises the Dr Schirvel, responsible for the surveillance of infectious diseases at the AVIQ (Agency for quality living in Wallonia)...

Parents who have difficulties in accessing health care due to economic considerations, or are in an irregular situation in the Uk. The foreigners and the Portuguese, who are against the vaccine. Even though they don't know the exact number, around 5% of children and young people up to 18 years of age are not vaccinated against the measles, according to the Directorate-General for Health (DGS). Taking into account that, according to estimates by the National Institute of Statistics (INE), living in the Uk in 2015, with more than 1 million 900 thousand children and young people up to the age of 18 years, and some of the 95.600 individuals in this age group, such as 5%) will not be vaccinated. This is the profile of who makes up the “pockets of non-vaccination”, which is the worry with the experts in a time in which all cases of measles be confirmed by the National Institute of Health Dr. Ricardo Jorge, has already come to the age of 21, was reported to the DGS in a statement on Monday night, and a year later the disease was declared eliminated in the Uk. Several of the other patients are under investigation. At the end of the day on Monday, the director-general of Health, Francis George, asked for the “rights and duties” of parents who do not vaccination children because “to such a ruling does not put at risk only their own children”, it's “a reflection of the community. He also said that he was to be given to the hypothesis that the lowering of the age of the first vaccination before age 12 months. At present, the measles vaccine is administered in two doses: one at 12 months of age and the second at the age of five. The most vulnerable age group is children between the ages of 6 and 12 months, “we no longer have maternal antibodies and have not yet made their first dose,” he said to the AUDIENCE, Maria do Céu Machado High Commissioner of Health, and the director of the department of Pediatrics of the Hospital of Amadora-Sintra and has been named last month as president of the Fda. 95% of vaccine recipients, Teresa Fernandes, the team's co-ordination of the National Program of Vaccination (PNV) of the DGS, stated to the PUBLIC that a percentage of 95% of people are vaccinated, corresponding to an average for the country, but stressed that there is a small community at the local level, with the highest rates of non-vaccination in which the risk is increased. They are in the suburbs or have a family, they are the “little people”, he said. The DGS know where you are all the children who have not met the PNV, but to the PUBLIC, the experts preferred not to specify their geographical dispersion, so as not to release the movie. “At the level of local and regional authorities are developing schemes to raise awareness, to get the vaccination, he said. The pockets of non-vaccination concerns among experts, given that, as explained by Ricardo Mexia of the National Association of Physicians for the Health of the Public, and the existence of a group that is not vaccinated increases the likelihood of contagion and the spread of the disease. In 2001, the immunization rate was 98%, and by 2007 it had fallen to 95 per cent, reminiscent of Ricardo's Moved. The measles vaccine has no ""immunity"" group, that is, they have to be more than 95% of children vaccinated for the population to be protected, he explains, on the other hand, Maria do Céu Machado, is currently the director of the department of Pediatrics of the Hospital of St. Mary's. Teresa Fernandes has also revealed that the lowest rates of coverage of vaccination have been detected, especially in young children who were seven years old in 2016, and that it did not receive the second dose. For this expert, despite the fact that, in europe and the world, there are parents who don't vaccinate their children because they are against it, in the Uk, this phenomenon also does not generate any concern. Also, Luis Terraces, from the Committee on Vaccination of the Company Infecciologia Insulin and of the Portuguese Society of Pediatrics, it is not considered a problem. “We can only speculate about the reasons for the resurgence [of the measles], but one of them is related to itself, the disease is highly contagious and you do not need to be many cases in order to propagate,” he said. “The other thing is in the pockets of non-vaccination, in terms of europe, because there is a lot of measles in Europe. And the other one is the mobility of someone who is in the incubation period, and if you scroll down, easily able to transmit the disease. Every year we get 1% of the population that is not immunized by the end of five years, and we have a pool of people not immune to it's relatively high.” “Clustering of foreign nationals ' Already-Maria do Céu Machado, said that there are clusters of foreigners (mostly belgian, German and some Portuguese, who claim to be enlightened, and in particular a group in the outskirts of Lisbon, which is committed by non-vaccination. According to the European Centre for Disease Control, measles has grown up in Europe, and almost all of the situations that you will have a connection to the outbreak, which began in Romania in February of 2016, the country that leads in the number of outbreaks with more than four thousand cases, "" says the Portuguese. The agency notes that in the first four months of this year, there have been more cases of measles in the Uk in the last decade or so. The reasons for the resurgence of measles in the Uk are yet to be explored. Francis George reminded us that it is necessary to search a large as the period of time that you can be contagious before they appear on the rash up to four days, and the incubation time can reach up to three weeks. It was only in the 1990's the vaccine for the measles has been widespread in the Uk – so if you were born between 1974 and 1990, and, in principle, have only received one dose. Up until 1974, when it was introduced, the measles vaccine in the PNV, the majority of adult-acquired measles by this age group, there are more people that are immune. At this point, it's a serving for an adult. If you have questions about whether or not you are vaccinated, you should vaccinate, it is advisable to Teresa Fernandes. Vulnerable groups in Addition to those who are not vaccinated, and children under the age of 12 months, and health-care professionals and people who have not had the second dose, they are among the most vulnerable groups, said Louis private balcony. “And the longer the contact time, the greater the likelihood of getting the disease.” The staff of the PNV is a call to all the children who have not been vaccinated. The vaccination is not 100% effective, but the likelihood of someone vaccinated for measles has dropped significantly – in addition to becoming less severe symptoms, such as fever, rash, cough, or conjunctivitis. Measles is one of the leading causes of death in children worldwide, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).

Measles is a highly infectious viral illness that can be very unpleasant and sometimes lead to serious complications. It's now uncommon in the UK because of the effectiveness of vaccination. Anyone can get measles if they haven't been vaccinated or haven't had it before, although it's most common in young children. The infection usually clears in around 7 to 10 days. The initial symptoms of measles develop around 10 days after you're infected. These can include: cold-like symptoms, such as a runny nose, sneezing and a cough  sore, red eyes that may be sensitive to light  a high temperature (fever), which may reach around 40C (104F)  small greyish-white spots on the inside of the cheeks A few days later, a red-brown blotchy rash will appear.

Measles are extremely contagious and potentially fatal, said the medical society in Berlin on Monday. Meanwhile, the number of recorded disease cases in the district of Hildesheim has risen to 24. In Hildesheim, only vaccinated students are allowed to visit the Oskar Schindler school until the end of the next week. How many children are affected by the temporary exclusion should only be available at the Tuesday feast.

Nationwide been 132 cases of measles registered as a result of a measles disease, it could come years later to an inflammation of the brain, for which there is no treatment and affected patients will die, said the DGKJ.

"8515","Measles is gaining ground in Europe. Increasingly, there are more cases that are recorded of this disease, and, far from falling, cuadriplicaron during 2018. According to the latest data of the World Health Organization (WHO) last year 82.596 europeans suffered from this disease, one of the most infectious known. Throughout the world, in the first quarter of this year cuadriplicaron infections, coming to register 112.163 cases in the first quarter of 2019. In our country, for the year 2018 were confirmed 225 cases and the Canary islands, last month, it registered three cases in the south of Tenerife. The causes of this increase are varied, though, as it impinges Amos Garcia Rojas, president of the Spanish Association of Vacunología and section chief of Epidemiology and Prevention of the Directorate General of Public Health of the Government of the Canary islands, if you increase the number of cases of a disease that has a ""control element"" as are vaccines, it is because ""you're not using the item with the same intensity as before."" In african countries, which continue developing, the problem lies in the difficulties that the population is at the time of access to vaccines. In more developed countries, such as Ukraine, the increase in very important cases have been registered 53.218 only this year) is due to a ""disorganization of the political vaccine because of the war"", as noted García Rojas. Another problem is the poverty and the ""pockets of marginality"" which, for example, affect Romania (1.087 cases this year). The last of the reasons, that they, WHO considered this year as one of the major threats to global health, is the reluctance of some parents to vaccinate their children. Either because of lack of verified information, the rumours that have survived thanks to the Internet, or the theories conspiranoicas, what is certain is that there is a heterogeneous group of people who are against one or several vaccines. ""The doubts about the vaccine (waiver or denial) threatens to reverse the progress made in the fight against vaccine preventable diseases"", says WHO. The influence of these groups that some experts have labeled as a ""movement proepidemia"", is not the cause more important or fundamental to the resurgence of this disease that was practically eradicated. However, it has been sufficient reason for some governments to raise force parents to vaccinate. Health professionals are clear that parents must ""listen to them, understand them and see their lines of departure"", as explained by García Rojas. From there, the work of the practitioner or the nursing staff is based on ""applying common sense to the discourse and make them see that in the face of communicable diseases, we can never lower our guard"", said the epidemiologist. ""The majority of parents do not is that militen in a reliable way in the movement antivacunas"", highlights Luis Ortigosa, president of the Canarian Society of Pediatrics, ""but that you have doubts."" This is not always easy, because there are certain sectors, also within the medicine, which generated doubts in the population, for example, to distinguish between vaccination funded and not funded. Susana Cantero, coordinator of the working group on vaccines of the Canary Association of Pediatrics of Primary Care, argues that these positions make parents end up thinking that ""the non-funded are not as effective."" This seems to be happening especially in the south of the Island of Tenerife, where there is less squares of pediatrics taken by medical specialty. In all of the Canary islands, the 30% of posts of paediatricians in Primary Care are covered by medical doctors, not specialists, either because they come from countries outside the eu or because it is really your specialty is family medicine. In this line, the researcher and doctor in biochemistry and molecular biology, Augustine Valenzuela, advocates continue to insist the governments to fund that ""all the vaccines available to them "", because there are some areas impoverished of the population do not have the same opportunities of access than others. Experiences in the Canary islands. The Archipelago has been free of the emerging epidemic of measles since the onset of the global emergency, like the rest of Spain. However, the health authorities of the Islands have faced in several occasions to cases imported from the European Union. The last time this happened was about a month ago, in the environment of the south of Tenerife. An Italian boy is not vaccinated imported the disease from his country, and gave it to two more children, all of them non-vaccinated and none of the canary islands. Luis Ortigosa emphasized this last point by arguing that ""none of these children was from the canary islands, which demonstrates the effectiveness of our vaccination policies"". In the Canary islands, as in the rest of Spain, the coverages vaccine reached 95% in the early stages of life, enough to ensure ""herd effect"", as stressed Bed. In this way, defends in addition to those ""non-responders"", that is to say, those who do not create antibodies to be vaccinated",620,"spain"

Measles ""is a disease that is not as innocuous as some would like to hear it or say it,"" responded Wednesday, June 27, on franceinfo Denise Antona, an epidemiologist with the directorate of infectious diseases of public Health France, pointing to ""inadequate immunization coverage, which allows the virus to circulate in the country"". Measles has made a second death since the beginning of the year 2018. After a 36 year old woman in Poitiers in February, it is a 26 year old patient who has died, while a 17-year-old is the subject of a ""guarded prognosis,"" according to the national Agency of public health. franceinfo : How do you explain that measles continues to kill in France ? Denise Antona : We have inadequate immunization coverage, which allows the virus to circulate in the country and causing an outbreak, such as the one that we know from the end of 2017, with nearly 2,600 cases reported to us, knowing that approximately half of the cases are not reported. Therefore, it is considered that there are about 5,000 cases of measles have occurred in recent months. However, it is a disease that is not as innocuous as some would like to hear it or say it. There is indeed the possibility of dying from the measles. That is, when the virus reaches the lungs, which leads to a rapid death in the icu, or during with type encephalitis, which lead to sequelae or even death. In the vast majority of cases, the patients have not been vaccinated, what is known about immunization coverage for measles in France ? Actually, the last victim was an immunosuppressed person, therefore, who could not be protected against measles by an entourage vaccinated. However, in the population, it is 90% of people vaccinated with one dose and 80% vaccinated with two doses. To get rid really of the disease, it would be necessary to have 95% of the population vaccinated with two doses. So there is still a margin before you get a vaccination coverage which is satisfactory. It explains this line by a distrust and neglect, because it is often assumed that measles is a benign disease of childhood, which is not true. The measles vaccine is now mandatory from 2018. Hopefully that will make up the 20% of children who are not vaccinated, because we did despite all that 80% of the children at two years of age who have received two doses. What are the early symptoms ? The first symptoms of measles are quite banal. It begins with a kind of nasopharyngitis and the installation of a fever, which very quickly becomes high enough before the eruption appears. With the fever up to 39-39.5, the children are very tired and poorly. In the days that follow, moved a immune deficiency. They are therefore more likely to complicate their measles by other microbes. It can be very dangerous. There are also people who are most at risk. What are the first place people who are immunocompromised, or who are under immunosuppressive therapy, but also pregnant women and children under one year of age who are not yet affected by vaccination because the first dose is given at 12 months of age. These babies are very susceptible to severe forms of the disease, especially if their family is not protected.",619,"france"

"3619","It is right that everyone needs to protect themselves against measles. Those who reject the Vaccination, it is, however, also of the fine, the health Minister is now threatening, hardly convincing. It is not easy, Jens Spahn agree. To the very Minister with the impression that during the research initiatives of CDU health, he is first to be Progressing and in the second place, to the content of the arguments or Beliefs. Spahn seems to want a quick run through of the quip that the Ministry of health is considered to be a prison camp of politics, in which each member of Parliament capitulated eventually unnerved in front of the powerful medical lobby. But Spahn's nest stands out clearly with Lust and Verve in every health policy of wasps. He has just announced a penalty of 2,500 euros for parents who want to allow your child against measles vaccinations. It is an announcement, according to the Motto: And if you're not willing, then I need to violence. However, it is more than questionable whether Spahn with this additional escalation will have a stage on the way to the vaccination success in the Land of the doubters and despite heads. To can drastic proposals to come, however, in view of the refusal of a small, annoying minority of Ego-interests and prejudices for the protection of those who return, who can not protect themselves, because they are too small or defenseless. Therefore, the question of what to do, when enlightenment comes to its limits, if any, of the arguments and scientific evidence fruit? Then a vaccination is not optimal, but the Ultima Ratio. Vaccination against measles is from an individual as well as epidemiological point of view, useful to your Benefit in many reputable studies. The factor of 100 to 1000 risks associated with the vaccine are rarer than the complications of the ""by-made"" measles, as cynical opponents they recommend. In every 500. Measles case is acute, in every 1000. up to 3000. Case, years later - always brain inflammation fatal. This unique Benefit-harm-balance sheet, must be taken by every objectively balanced people for the vaccination. A protection for all against measles is correct, but fine is the opponents hardly convince opponents to lead, however, absurd conspiracy theories, and scientifically dubious claims. Impfskeptiker often appeal to their emotional point of view. There is about the Shy, to let a small child with a syringe prick, in which a substance is not contained, you know how that works. In addition, the threat is invisible, disappeared the disease by the year long Impfbemühungen to a large extent from everyday life. Therefore, it is important to remind how dangerous is the measles. When this healthy Form of enlightenment is of no use - more than 60 percent of adults report that no one would have said that you should also check their vaccination status -must be introduced a mandatory vaccination, such as existed in Germany until the end of the 1970s, for the smallpox, and how they suffer in many countries in Europe for measles and other Infection exists. Whoever rejects it, must, first, like to get under ideology-suspicion, and, secondly, to ask whether gefühliges sufficient half-knowledge to take the negligent bodily injury of defenceless in the time of purchase.

The highest number in this decade was in 2017, with 23.927 infections throughout the year, while in 2016, the year with better numbers, there were only 5.273 cases in the twelve months. Zsuzsanna Jakab, regional director of the WHO in Europe, released these data, which was labeled a ""dramatic increase in infections and widespread outbreaks"". Before this increase of the disease from the World Health Organization require to be implemented as comprehensive measures that are appropriate to stop the spread, ""because as long as you do not delete this disease we are not meeting our commitments to sustainable development goals"", said Jakab. Let your children vaccinated! The Voice of Galicia Ana Viana Carneiro Concern for Ukraine, The country's most worrisome is without a doubt the Ukraine, with more than 23,000 people affected during this period. Six states exceeded one thousand cases in addition to Ukraine: France, Georgia, germany, Greece, Italy, Russia and Serbia. In fact, this last is the one that registered more deaths. In six months, 37 people were killed by measles in Europe. The epidemic of this disease is especially severe for one reason: the vaccine had failed to eliminate the disease in many countries. But the movements anti vaccines, with the consequent decrease of the coverage of protection among the population, and its high contagion -that requires to reach 95 % to ensure immunity of the group - have led to an almost eradicated disease back to camp to their hearts content for many countries. The index Ro The Voice of Galicia, The Voice herd Immunity Fortunately, in Spain Spain is one of the states in which the anti-vaccines do not have depth. It maintains the immunity of a group, to have high rates of vaccination, but even the neighbouring country, Portugal lost it at the end of last year by the lower of the 95 %. In march, an outbreak in the north of the country luso by an imported case resulted in 112 cases, although there was no death. In the specific case of Galicia, in the period 2006-2015 it is stated in the community eleven affected. Measles immunization with two doses increased by two points in 2016 and 2017 in the european region of the WHO, from 88 % to 90 %. But, according to the committee regrets the organization, while some countries are above the 95 % -as is the case of Spain - others are below 70 %. In fact, although 43 of the 53 states have stopped the spread endemic of this disease, some have returned to that state endemic after twelve months of transmission. From the WHO require surveillance to detect cases, greater immunization and remind the parents the importance of vaccinating their children.",616,"spain"

"48100","The data are from the Survey of Infection in the National (NSI), 2015-2016, was developed by the National Institute of Health Dr. Ricardo Jorge (INSA), which was attended by 4.866 people, and that it has to update to the latest survey, relating to 2001-2002. In the latest survey, the prevalence of hiv for the virus of measles was of 95.2% out of it, but from the current point to 94.2% for individuals immune to the disease. “This is a value that is less than 95%, the proportion of hiv-infected individuals [in contact with the infectious agent] is required to cause an immunity in respect of the group', which is a side effect of the vaccination is that it protects the vaccinated, but also those who did not receive the vaccine, as it reduces the movement of the agent and the transmission of the infection. The proportion of immune, is it not the same in all the age groups. The document states that “the immunity of the group, it was found overall for both male and female children between the ages of two and nine years old, and in adults over the age of 44 years, which corresponds to the subjects who received VASPR [combined vaccine against measles, mumps epidemic, and the disease], and those who have developed natural immunity”. In the age groups of between two and four years and five to nine years, and the immunity of the group, it is not uniform by region, and sex, “and is less than 95% in some groups, male or female, in the Central and the Autonomous Region of the Azores”. The protection is lower in persons aged 15 to 29 years of age (90%), reaching 88,2% of those between the ages of 15 and 19 years old, and 77,9% for the range of between 20 and 29 years of age. According to the authors, “the proportion of susceptible individuals in these age groups may be due to the fact that they have been vaccinated with different strains of vaccine, or by a decline in antibodies over time, which can occur after vaccination. The proportion of hiv-infected individuals is close to 100% (99,6%) in the group of those born before the 1970s, and in the case of individuals who have developed natural immunity after being infected with a viral agent”. “The proportion of hiv-positive individuals was greater than 90% but less than 95% in the cohort of those born in and after 1996, and who were born between 1970 and 1977,” he says in the report of the investigation. The research points to a prevalence of antibodies to measles – at the national level, by gender and by region, with percentages lower than those obtained in the survey, 2001-2002. This difference was most marked in the age group between the ages of 15 and 44 years in which there was “an increase in the number of susceptible, with no immunity of the group.” More than 98% are protected against tetanus in Addition to polio, the ISN't 2015-2016 evaluated for other organisms, including the viruses of poliomyelitis (type 1 and type 3, rubella, mumps epidemic hepatitis A and hepatitis b, The bacteria analyzed were for ‘bordetella pertussis’ (whooping cough)), ‘clostridium tetani’ (tetanus), ‘corynebacterium diphtheriae’ (diphtheria and haemophilus influenzae type b (which causes diseases such as meningitis or pneumonia). In regard to whooping cough, the authors state that “the evidence for the circulation of this bacterium in adults, it reinforces the importance of vaccinating against the whooping cough, for some groups of the population, in order to prevent the spread of bacteria to sites where the risk of hiv infection resulted in severe disease”. For tetanus, the proportion of individuals with a level of antibodies that guard was from 98.4%, higher than the previous surveys, the evidence on the impact of vaccination under the National Program of Vaccination (PNV)”. If you were between 10 and 54 years of age, the proportion of subjects protected against tetanus was 100% from the age of 55 years, this proportion was reduced to 96,4%. In children between the ages of two and nine years old, he came down to the level of antibodies is protective in relation to that ISN 2001-2002. “In spite of all of the children between the ages of two and nine years old, were included in this study, we have antibodies against the toxin of tetanus (lockjaw), and seven per cent of children between the ages of two and four years old, and only 2.6% of all children between the ages of five and nine years old had concentrations below the value considered to be protective,” reads the document. According to the authors, “these findings suggest that these children have been vaccinated. However, the vaccination did not induce the development of antibodies to the level that gives protection to her.” About the diphtheria, the survey found that the proportion of individuals with a level of antibodies that guard is superior to the one observed in the NSI 2001-2002, in all the age groups. “This difference is more evident after the age of 15, which appears to reflect the introduction of the PNV in 2000, and the combined vaccine against diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, in immunisation booster at 10 years of age, confirming the benefit of his introduction. The document states that “the proportion of children with a level of antibodies that guard against invasive disease with ‘haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) is above 86% up to the age of nine years old.” The largest proportion was observed in the age group of two to four years of age (88,5%), the group most vulnerable to the disease, and the lowest percentage is observed between 10 and 14 years of age (75,9%)”. In regards to the disease, the proportion of individuals with a level of antibodies that shield has been up to over 90% in all age groups, with the exception of young people between the ages of 15 and 19 years of age. In this age group must, in the opinion of the author, to be monitored and studied further “clarify the causes of what is observed, so as to ensure immunity in all age groups and for the successful elimination of the disease. with Two",615,"portugal"
"5671","The dead were 140 thousand, particularly among children less than 5 years. Impressive figures for a disease that is preventable with the vaccination and that they denote a collective failure, says the world health Organization In 2018, 10 million people in the world have contracted the measles, and have lost their lives as well 140 thousand, mainly children under 5 years. Are the alarming figures relating to the global epidemic of measles, a disease that can be prevented by vaccination. The estimates are provided by the world health Organization (Who) and Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Cdc) in the us. Just for the fact that it is possible to prevent it through a vaccine, and in the face of figures so high as the Who reports a “collective failure” in the protection of children, especially in poorer countries. The declarations of the Who, “The fact that a child dies because of a preventable disease via vaccination is, frankly, an offense”, (in English outrage, a thing that disgusting), said Tedros Adhanom Ghebreysus, director-general of Who, “and a collective failure in the protection of the most vulnerable children around the world”. The most affected are the children with less than five years, are most at risk of infection from measles, which can lead to complications very serious, such as pneumonia and encephalitis, death. “To save lives we must ensure that every individual can benefit from vaccines,” continues the director, Who, “which implies to invest in the immunization and in the quality of health care as a right for all”. The countries most affected by the epidemics, and that collect about half of all cases are the Congo, Liberia, Madagascar, Somalia, and Ukraine. And 2019, sees, unfortunately, in the first line of the Samoa islands. Attention in the Usa and, in Europe, The problem of the measles does not concern only the countries in the medium-low-income – who are undoubtedly the most affected by the epidemics, due to lack of resources. In the United States, for example, this year we registered the highest number of cases of the last 25 years, while in four european countries – Albania, Czech Republic, Greece and the United Kingdom – the measles, which had been completely eliminated, reappeared. Measles in the world About 10 million people have had the measles in 2018. In Africa, there were almost 1.8 million cases of infection with almost 53mila the dead, in America (both North, central and South) there were almost 84 thousand cases, in the regions of the eastern Mediterranean almost 3 million cases and 49mila the dead, in Europe 862mila infections and 200 deaths, in south-east Asia 3.8 million cases and about 39mila the dead, and in the western Pacific 408mila sick and 1,300 deaths. If the 2018 was a black year for the measles, 2019 is going to be even worse: the provisional data of November 2019 show that the number of cases of measles is about 3 times higher than the one registered in the same period of last year. Measles in Italy provisional data from the national Institute of health speak of 1.605 cases from 1 January to 31 October 2019, but they are still provisional because of the lack of counting the months of November and December. Approximately 86% of the patients was not vaccinated at the time of infection, and 31% showed at least one complication. In addition, there were reported 94 cases among health care workers, and 43 cases among school staff. In 2018, there were in all more than 2,500 cases, with 8 deaths. Vaccination as life-saving The current immunization coverage is not adequate to prevent the spread of epidemics. The Who recommends the vaccination in two doses for all the countries of the world, that would exceed a coverage of 95%, the minimum threshold that identifies the immunity of the flock. Vaccination is compulsory in Italy (and in many other countries, but not all of them, even if also in our country, the threshold has not been reached for the measles. At the global level, the analysis of the world health organization and Unicef show that 86% of children receive the first dose of the vaccine, but only 70% also the second, and security is so incomplete.",614,"italy"
"2121","On June 18, 1774, Louis XVI, accompanied by his family, is to inoculate with a vaccine against smallpox, which comes to take away his grandfather, Louis XV. The gesture of the king, folded in Marly by fear of the epidemic, goes beyond the simple protection against miasma, which empestent Versailles. It has the value of a symbol. At the time when the controversy raged between supporters and opponents of the vaccination, the young king Louis XVI, an amateur of science, influenced more or less by the spirit of the Enlightenment, brings public support and brilliant new method. Will there be a requirement that Emmanuel Macron, his wife Bridget, Edward, Philip or Agnes Buzyn, to be immunized publicly to make room on the offensive complotiste of the occult anti-vaccine ? At the CHU of Poitiers, a 32 year old woman has succumbed to the measles, infected by the beginning of the epidemic that is rampant in the region (more than 100 cases detected since the beginning of the year). For the regional Agency of health of New-Aquitaine, the cause of this resurgence lies in the inadequate immunization coverage, which varies from 70.8% to 81% according to departments, when the world health Organization (WHO) recommends a 95% coverage. The campaign, on the Net mainly by a theory of composite pranksters proven to be manipulators with ulterior motives extremists and candid anxious, could well bear fruit. In an unusual ratio in Europe and frightening in the eyes of the health authorities, the French express a distrust irrational with respect to the mandatory vaccinations. And could return to the good times of epidemics of smallpox, polio or the Spanish flu... A certain Pr Henri Joyeux, triste sire recently removed from the college of physicians, is leading this crusade, medieval for ages, selling force books and drawing large crowds in his lectures. These merchants of nightmares argue that the risks of vaccination : they exist, but in proportion very much lower than the dangers of non-vaccination. They fustigent the practices of the labs pharmaceuticals : these are certainly very conscious of their profits, but in this case somewhat suspect, to the extent that the vaccines do not earn that much. They rely on the scandals of the past, contaminated blood or Mediator, to question the decisions of health authorities : the denunciation legitimate of these cases can not drive, by metonymy, to discredit the entire medical profession and health institutions. If the WHO and all health systems in all countries of the world are advocates of vaccination, this is not the result of a worldwide conspiracy... This shocking story has an origin, the progress of the irrational in the public debate, in favor of an delegitimize systematic of everything that looks like an elite, would it be the elite of knowledge and medicine, to the benefit of belching populist.

Since the last newsletter shows that the trend of infection is decreasing seen the arrival of the summer, but remains high when you consider that last year, in 2016, had been established “newly” 844 infected. In particular, only in the month of may of last year, the registered cases of measles in the Country had been 82, and this year – in may 2017, that number has increased fivefold since the cases that were recorded were well-565.

Diarrhea, stomatitis, conjunctivitis, pneumonia, hepatitis, and respiratory failure are complications of the most frequently encountered. Almost all the Italian regions have reported cases, but those most affected by the epidemic of measles are Tuscany, Latium, Lombardy and Piedmont. Last April, the Who has released data according to which ours is the second Country in Europe for cases of measles. The worse of us there is only the Romania.

The epidemic of measles Following the death of a young woman 32 years old, Poitiers, because of the measles, the minister says it does not have items to find out if she has contracted the disease at the hospital. What is clear with this epidemic is that when vaccination coverage is insufficient, there is now a resurgence of cases. To assist in tracking vaccinations, a notebook will be implemented in 2018.

The latest warning comes as the health secretary Matt Hancock said people who spread myths about the harms of vaccines had “blood on their hands”.  An ongoing measles outbreak in Europe saw cases hit a decade high last year and have risen even further in the first three months of 2019.  The virus is highly infectious and can lead to life-threatening complications, including pneumonia and swelling of the brain that can cause deafness or neurological damage.  International gatherings of young people are a prime opportunity for the virus to spread to those who are unprotected, some of who may have been ineligible for the vaccine due to a medical condition.  Mr Hancock said that the government “would not rule out” compulsory vaccination to address the measles outbreak.",606,"uk"
"538","In the first nine months of the year, 397 cases of measles have been identified in Belgium, compared to 117 over the entire 2018, reports Friday's Echo. ""Belgium is so far from achieving the objectives of the WHO (world health Organization) for the elimination of measles. Goals that are of less than one case per million inhabitants,"" said Dr. Monalisa Zampieri (ULB/Saint-Pierre Hospital, Brussels), who is completing a dissertation at the end of specialization in pediatrics on the topic. Yet, the belgian national action plan for measles elimination, renewed in 2016, aims to rid the country of this disease by 2020, she says. The vaccination rates too low in the country is pointing the finger. It could be argued that Belgium lose its status of ""countries in transition"" towards the elimination of measles, conferred by the WHO in 2018. While a rate of 95% must be achieved for this disease, the Belgium is below this standard. Flanders reached a coverage rate of 93.4%. In Brussels, this rate drops to 76,4%, and in Wallonia, it only rises to 70.1 per cent (figures for 2017). For Wallonia, a contagion of anti-vaccine in France could be one of the explanations, according to Dr. Zampieri.",604,"belgium"
"49100","Measles was declared extinct in the U.S. in the year 2000, but is now back with a refusal of the vaccination is for a lot of parents. For the first time, declared a state of emergency due to the voluntary refusal of parents to vaccinate their children, and on Tuesday, in the county of Rockland, and about 50 miles from New York city. To the extent the Executive officer of the county, it took nearly six-thousand children are not vaccinated from the schools, and that they were not allowed to be in public places. They were given a near 17-thousand doses of the vaccine for measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine, and there will be an extensive campaign to raise awareness about the importance of immunization, and with medical doctors, specialists, and even the rabbis, given the fact that the outbreak affected mainly the jewish community ultraortodoxa in the region. But it still managed to end up with a measles outbreak that has been occurring since October. The measures show the desperation of the us authorities in the face of outbreak of a disease that had been declared extinct in this country in the year 2000. “We must not allow the surge to continue indefinitely or get worse again,” said the Executive officer of the Rockland, assuring: “we will Not sit idle while the children of our community are at risk.” Measles is a virus that is extremely contagious and causes respiratory problems, fever, and rash. In people with immune systems most vulnerable, such as babies, toddlers, and young children, measles can cause brain damage, hearing loss, permanent and is to reach the point of being life-threatening. The disease has been eliminated in the united states, as in the Uk, with the creation of the immunity of the group, meaning that, even though not all of them are immune, and there are a large number of individuals, that is, as soon as the number of contagions is to be reduced. Reducing the spread of the disease among those who cannot be vaccinated, such as young children, pregnant women, and people with a weakened immune system. Given the fact that measles is so contagious, it is estimated that between 93% and 95% of the population has to be vaccinated to be able to immunity in respect of the group. The high prevalence of measles among the ultra-orthodox community in Rockland is related to the low rate of immunization, as well as its close ties to the communities of Brooklyn, which is where you are in the course of outbreaks, the origin of which must have been in Israel, where the disease has not been eliminated. The department of health of New York city, it is recommended for the vaccination of those who travel to Israel, but to the communities ultraortodoxas, there is a diffusion of the literature of anti-vaccination, and that refusal is the scientific consensus on the issue. The so-called groups of “anti-vax” has gained momentum online through social media. Especially since the dissemination of the work of the former doctor, Andrew Wakefield, the results of which have never no scientist was able to replicate that, as it is necessary for the validation of scientific knowledge. A medical license in Canada was revoked with the study, been found to the fraudulent, and with the intention, on the part of the Order of Physicians, uk. Since the appeal is from an ex-doctor, and the number of refusals of immunization has increased overall. On the other hand, many developing countries are still struggling to have access to vaccinations, dealing with diseases that have already become extinct in the developed world. “In large part due to the success of the vaccine, people are not afraid of these diseases, so they question its effectiveness,” said Annabelle In a St. Maurice, an expert in infectious diseases at the University of California the New York Times. However, when these conditions re-appear, such as in New York city, the demand for the vaccine increases. According To The St. The esplanade des invalides and to the refusal to vaccinate children occurs mainly among white and better educated. In Portugal, The National Directorate of Health (DGS) said on the first day of it, there is no warning to the working visit to the united states. The DGS has ensured that, in spite of the overall growth of the groups who opposed the vaccination in the National Programme of Vaccination is still ongoing, as a matter of course, and the immunization rate remains over 95%. In the case of measles and other preventable diseases are still on the levels in the usual course, without any focus, that is similar to New York city. But it's not out of the possibility of outbreaks in certain regions of the country have pockets of non-vaccinated persons. A spokesman for the DGS pointed out also i that the vaccination of children is not compulsory, nor are there any legal impediments to the enrollment of a student in school without being vaccinated.

From 2013 to today, we have registered more than 13 thousand cases of infection, half of which in young people around the age of 27. From here the necessity of running to the shelters.

For example, to gain access to competitions for law enforcement and Firefighters, there will be a requirement to vaccination trivalent measles-mumps-rubella (mmr), under penalty of exclusion. The same thing will happen in the context of competitive sport: a requirement to register to companies and sports federations in order to access to the races will be the vaccine MPR.

"5677","Madagascar: 1200 deaths of measles in a few months? The WHO does not knows nothing about it... Yesterday, 14 April, Ansa comes out with a news-bomb immediately resumed and re-launched by the major newspapers online. (1) According to journalists, Madagascar would face a terrible epidemic of measles (the new plague of the century, as we all know - ah, in Madagascar there is still the plague to the effects, but this does not seem to make news) that would have caused in a few months well 1.205 dead! The website “prince” from which to draw the official news of the emergencies and epidemics around the globe is of course that of the Who (World Health Organization): it is a pity that you do not make any mention of the african emergency related to the measles, nor of epidemics disturbing... To look good, but really, is the last note published on the Madagascar: is January 2019 and mentions 39 deaths linked to this “terrible“ disease (2). no reference to the very different of 1200 dead.... The same official note was also picked up by our Ministry of Health italic (3). Among other things, as we read the circular, “more Than half of cases (51%) reported during the current outbreak have not been vaccinated or their immune status is not known (there will be 56% in march, ed). Madagascar has the highest rate of malnutrition in children under 5 years of age (47%) in the african region, which can increase the risk in children of serious complications and death due to infection from measles.” Then, we have a nice 49% of subjects who were vaccinated but still contract the disease??? And, then, the hygienic conditions and nutrition have a major influence in the course of this disease??? Incredible, when we say there are four of us invaded the ignorant and addicted to sorcery....fortunately here we can have a confirmation “scientific”: they say that the Ministry and the Who, the science will not deny it! Sifting through the emergencies reported in the african continent, among other things, you will find news on ebola, cholera, and other, but not a single alarm on the killer of our own. And this in spite of the conditions of the population above! (4) in Short, what will happen? How ever if the situation is so serious, the note most recently that we find on the site Who speaks of 39 deaths in January and there are no more updates? The only link that returns the data of 1.205 deaths, relating to the epidemic of measles, this is (5) and I quote: The current epidemic underscores the necessity of vigilance. The measles epidemic that was declared on 4 October 2018 has affected 105 of the country's 114 health districts. Nearly 117 075 cases and 1 205 deaths have been recorded to date. As ever the main website of the Who (Who) does not report this data in the evidence? Here is the table extracted from the site Who (6), containing the last report, with updates in March: First, under the ""confirmed Cases"", we find 0. Zero! Then he says in the comments: ""There were 638 reported deaths in health facilities, and 567 community deaths including 114 measles-related deaths and 453 non-measles realated death assessed by community workers. “ whose translation would be ""there have been (from 3 September 2018 24th march 2019) 638 deaths reported in health facilities and 567 deaths in the community, including 114 deaths related to measles and 453 deaths not related to measles evaluated by the workers of the community.”? Then the deaths from measles would be 752 instead of 1205? and from where I get this data? Perhaps the sum of the two digits of the fatalities reported? 638 567 = ...1.205! But then it is possible that someone has ""wrong"" to report the data? The mystery is getting thicker...but how many are the deaths related with certainty to the measles, even if the cases really confirmed here, don't we? Remains the given declared of 752 deaths, almost half of what is reported by the media in the last few hours. We hope not to be in front of yet another fake news regarding the vaccines and the diseases they preventable?

For the moment, this epidemic is far from reaching the peak experienced between 2008 and 2011, with some 23,000 cases, including 10 deaths. A dangerous virus and Characterized by the appearance of red patches on the entire body and a fever of around 38.5°, measles is often accompanied by cough, rhinitis, conjunctivitis, and a general malaise. The phase of contagion begins on the eve of the skin symptoms. The transmission of the virus is generally by air or by contamination of surfaces by secretions, naso-pharyngeal. Usually benign, the disease can lead to complications such as blindness, encephalitis, pneumonia, or severe diarrhea in subjects under the age of one year or more than 20 years. In pregnant women, it can also lead to miscarriages or premature births. Non-mandatory but recommended, the MMR vaccination remains the most effective protection to prevent infection. The first injection should be made at the age of 12 months. In the event of an outbreak, the initial dose can be advanced to 9 months for children attending communities such as creches or child care centres. The second injection, between 16 and 18 months, is essential for the effectiveness of the vaccine. In the case of children 6 to 11 months, unprotected and without a history of measles, having been exposed to the virus, the administration of a dose of monovalent vaccine within 72 hours of contact may prevent the emergence of infection. The objective of the France, in agreement with the WHO (World Health Organization), is to eliminate measles. The WHO recommends vaccination coverage for all children. ""The eradication of measles in France can only be achieved if at least 95 % of the population receives two doses of the vaccine,"" according to Public Health France, which has launched in 2012 a ""global strategic plan for measles and rubella"".",588,"france"

This vaccination also applies to childminders and the entire staff in day-care centres, schools, medical and community facilities such as Refugee shelters.

One can assume, that the reason over the unreason triumphed? I wouldn't say so, because after all, there are so many sensible arguments for the Vaccination that you should not be forced by a requirement to have one. How high are the chances to reach a vaccination coverage of the population? From my point of view, it would have been more important to reinforce the education and to facilitate the Vaccination. Still the Vaccination is somehow for many, it is a serious act whether it is from irrational Fears or organizationally. Now it is but a duty in the age of the child, including the medical staff. In order not to reach two important target groups, the adult, in which the vaccination Coverage is too low, can be reached, however. It is also a risk. You will also see some good scientific surveys, that if a vaccination is compulsory, others are neglected and not as important to be considered. The vaccine could thus be reduced in the worst case, a total of even. If in March 2020, the vaccination begins: when, for example, is a visible result – that is, the Containment of the disease to expect? The increase in the vaccination rates and the decrease in the measles, you will be able to notice diseases, certainly only after a few months to years. Internationally, the goal of the world health organization (WHO), to eradicate measles completely. This goal is achieved only if the measles occur really at all, and this may actually take several years and also requires international cooperation, just as the smallpox.

No, the vaccine against measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine does not increase the risk of autism. A very large study of over 650 000 Danish children came to the same conclusion as several previous studies : there is no prevalence of autism in vaccinated children. This scientific inquiry has taken into account the data of all Danish children born from 1999 to 2010, followed up in 2013, and compared the number of children who received a diagnosis of autism among the vaccinated and non-vaccinated.

Outbreaks the largest in Romania, Italy and Ukraine In 2017 in Europe, measles has killed 35 people and made them sick 21.315, that is, 400% more than in 2016, when instead it had been marked a ‘record’ to the downside with 5273 cases. The countries most affected were Romania, Italy and Ukraine. To make the point is the european office of the world health Organization (Who), on the occasion of the meeting between the ministers of Health of european Montenegro. Of the 53 countries of the Who european region, 15 have had outbreaks with over 100 cases. The top three were Romania (5562), Italy (5006) and Ukraine (4767). To facilitate the spread of measles, there was the sum of several factors, according to Who, the fall in the overall rate of immunization coverage, more substantial in the groups of the population most marginalized, interruptions in the supply of vaccination and disease surveillance systems that have not always worked optimally. Other countries with large epidemics were Greece (967) Germany (927), Serbia (702), Tajikistan (649), France (520), Russia (408), Belgium (369) United Kingdom (282), Bulgaria (167), Spain (152), Czech Republic (146) Switzerland (105). The data, however, do not upset Gianni Rezza, epidemiologist at the Istituto Superiore di Sanita (Iss), which detects as measles is a very contagious condition that “goes in waves. There are years in which more cases than the previous ones”. “The decline in vaccine coverage there has been until 2015-2016 may have influenced on this last peak of the epidemic, increasing the population at risk for the disease”. Difficult, however, to make a precise estimate of how many there are. In addition to the children not vaccinated, “which are about 10-15% – he continues – there are also young people and adults who have not had the measles as children, and that large are difficult to vaccinate”. For the children, the decree that made mandatory vaccines is helping to improve the coverage, that “90% had dropped to 85% in 2015”, and that “now is rising”, notes Security. To Zsuzsanna Jakab, director of Who Europe, “more than 20 thousand cases, and 35 lives lost to measles are a tragedy that we simply can not accept.” The elimination of measles and rubella “are a priority for all european countries, and this setback, he concluded, should not discourage us from working to have future generations of children free from these diseases.”",577,"italy"

Anti-vaccines This new record - the most recent was dated 2014, with 667 cases on the year as a whole - occurs on the background of the anti-vaccine: many parents are against immunizing their children and commented on the exemptions religious that exist in most american States. The authorities are trying to combat this movement, recalling the importance of vaccinating children against a disease that can lead to complications with consequences potentially fatal. ""The measles vaccines are part of medical products studied in the more background we have, and their safety has been established for years"", stressed Wednesday to the u.s. secretary of Health Alex Azar, in a press release confirming the new record. He also announced a large national campaign for the next week, ""to reinforce the message that vaccines are safe and effective way to"" protect families. If 22 States in the u.s. are affected by the resurgence of this highly contagious disease, the pockets, the most important are located in the States of New York and Washington, according to the CDC, the official body of american health care.

"3625","Hanover, in community facilities such as kindergartens or schools letters of rum, which will make many parents at first glance, afraid to go in last time often. Diseases that seemed to be long forgotten, are on the up again, and also among children in the round. What diseases are, and what you should keep in mind we have compiled for you. 1. Measles : Not just a childhood disease, A disease that exhibits symptoms similar to a conventional flu: fever, cough, coryza, or conjunctivitis no one expects to meet initially with measles. It is only when the disease has progressed so far that the red spots on the skin are visible, beating many of the alarm bells. In the worst case, measles can lead to inflammation of the middle ear or the lungs, but also to a serious inflammation of the brain. In Germany were reported, according to the Robert Koch-Institute during the past year 543 cases of the disease. 2019 there were 82 cases. Measles are spread by droplet infection, The highly contagious infectious disease to spread via small droplets in the air that will be distributed when you Speak, Sneeze or cough. The measles viruses from infecting cells of the immune system and weaken it – it is then more susceptible to bacterial or viral pathogens. Vaccinations, A Trend that is considered by many as a worrying recommended: Some parents let their children against measles should be vaccinated. The number of children with vaccination is situated in Bavaria, for example, in the case of 92.2 percent. According to experts, a rate of 95 percent was required to eliminate the disease. The Problem: In Germany, as in Switzerland and in Austria only recommendations, no mandatory vaccination. The question of whether a state-mandated obligation against personality violates rights, is not always discussed publicly. 2. Scabies on The scabies, colloquially referred to as scabies, is the rise a by the scabies mite caused by a contagious disease, which is often noticed late, because the visible symptoms do not occur until after four to six weeks skin. The reason is the reaction of the immune system in the eggs, and excretions of the mites, which are stored in the first layer of skin, the Epidermis, is. It is a Burn and a itching of the skin, which is particularly pronounced during the night, pin, large vesicles and pustules. In the last 15 years, the number of scabies were diagnoses fluctuated sharply. Scientists suspect that the disease occurs in cycles. Stop the prejudice Fortunately, the scabies, to the unpleasant side effects is relatively harmless and has nothing to do with a lack of Hygiene. It spreads via intensive contact with the skin, such as the common Play of children, when Cuddling or during Sex. It is often claimed that migrants would bring the disease to Germany, because they would be on the run with many people in a confined space and in the time of washing. Anton Aebischer, an expert on fungal and parasite infections at the Robert Koch Institute ( RKI) says: ""as To the claim that Refugees would have introduced the mites, is nothing to it. Scabies in Germany.“ How to get rid of scabies again The scabies is treated, depending on the Severity of the disease, by using a cream or tablets. After one to two treatments with Anti-mite products should not usually be contagious – who wants to play it safe, you should avoid close contact with the body first, however. Also community facilities such as kindergartens or schools may not be visited due to the risk of Infection. To follow-up is then to change clothes and linen daily and wash at 60 degrees. What is not in the washing machine, should be either in plastic bags at about 21 degrees closed or be thoroughly vacuumed. 3. Tuberculosis : a deadly infectious disease such As measles is also transmitted tuberculosis is a droplet infection – this does not mean, however, that the disease breaks out inevitably. In the case of people with average health Constitution in the majority of cases, more likely to be a hidden infection while under weight, Debilitated physically or chronically Ill, whose immune system is already weakened, is actively developing. In the case of tuberculosis, mandatory reporting is. The health office in Nuremberg, for example, has announced an increase in TB disease: it was 2016 four ill children and young people, increased the number 2017 on the six and in the year 2018 to eight young in Nuremberg. Non-specific symptoms Of the conventional infection until noticeable symptoms pass six to eight weeks. Initially, the tuberculosis is shown by non-specific symptoms such as cough, night sweat and fever. In the further course of the cough that is often accompanied with bloody expectoration is strengthened. Especially in the case of immunocompromised Patients, the disease can go without the treatment on kidney, bone or even the brain. In the early stage, treatable tuberculosis good medication can usually – with a combination of different antibiotics to treat. The Standard therapy has normally a duration of six months. In case of intolerance or resistance of the pathogen to exist, there are a number of alternative medicines. RND/jo",576,"germany"

""Instead, the 50-over 60 years olds have lived in an era when the disease was circulating freely, and virtually all have taken"". There is a test to find out if?

"5694","The data for 2017 suggest a dangerous trend reversal in the fight against the elimination of measles, warns a report by the Who and the Cdc in the usa. For different reasons, Not only in Italy, not only in Europe: the measles would be back to be a problem at the global level. The suggest data just disclosed by a report edited by the world health Organization and by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (Cdc) in the us. Between 2016 and 2017, the number of reported cases of measles worldwide grew 31% and the incidence of the disease is increased in 5 of 6 Who regions. Approximately 6.7 million cases are estimated a little less than 110 thousand deaths worldwide, most of whom are children under 5 years of age. The data that endanger the achievements made in recent years to a disease that is anything but trivial. The good news is that the focus of The report, even before that on the critical issues, is relative to the progress made towards the elimination of measles worldwide in the years between 2000 and 2017. Why to widen my gaze on a time window wider, it turns out that the steps forward have been so many. Starting from the vaccination coverage: in 17 years, those for the first dose (the drug with the vaccine of measles is administered in two doses) covers, according to estimates by the Who and the Cdc increased from 72% to 85%. In the same years as those for the second dose of the vaccine increased from 15% in 2000 to 67% in 2017. In parallel, the reported incidence of the disease on an annual basis decreased by 83%, from 125 to 25 cases per million inhabitants. Also the number of deaths estimated annual disease-related decreased in the same proportion, passing from 545174 to 109638. But perhaps the most impressive, capable of making the idea of progress, is that relative to the effects of the vaccinations that have allowed us to avoid 21 million deaths, according to estimates. But something in recent times threatens to undermine the progress made. The bad news To restrict the look to last year, by 2017, something, in fact, seems to suggest a dangerous trend reversal. Not only for the increase of the dead, returned to overcome the threshold of 100 thousand victims after last year, it was hailed for the first time the transfer of share (they were 90 thousand those estimated for 2016). The global increase of 31% between 2016-2017 hides the peaks of growth in nearly all Who regions (with increases also more than 6000% for the Americas for the 2016-2017) with the exception of the pacific area to the west (which recorded a decrease of 82%). At the same time, you can still read in the report, the percentage of countries that provide data with less than 5 cases per million increased from 69% in 2016 (almost doubled compared to 2000) to 65% in 2017. Even in the same shell is not comforting: we are still, for the first dose, the values of 84-85% by 2010 (and 67% for the second). The only region to have achieved and maintained for years with the covers on the threshold of 95%, the one recommended by the experts to ensure the herd effect. And I'm almost 21 million children are not vaccinated, not even with the first dose. “The increase in cases of measles is causing concern, with outbreaks prolonged in the regions, and particularly in countries that have achieved or were very close to achieving the elimination of measles,” said Soumya Swaminathan, Deputy Director General for Programmes of Who. The critical cases But what it means to eliminate measles? You talk about deleting in the absence of endemic transmission of the measles virus in the area for more than 12 months, while the loss of status measles-free you has of against, when the transmission continues for more than a year. Has been declared free of the measles, for example, the region of the Americas, in 2016. Yet recently, the endemic transmission in Venezuela of the disease, and the importation of some cases in the neighbouring countries, puts at risk the status of measles free. Among the issues highlighted by the report could not then does not appear the case in Europe, where the incidence of cases for 2017 was 400% (with Italy in the first file with 5000 cases, almost double that of those reported so far for the year 2018) compared to the previous year and the vaccination coverage is below 95% in many countries. “These outbreaks emphasise the fragility of the achievements made to the global goals and regional. Continue to increase the coverage for both doses of the vaccine, it is of fundamental importance for the attainment and sustainability of these goals,” read the report. “The lack of concern for the disease and the spread of false beliefs about vaccines in Europe, a health system collapse in Venezuela and areas of fragility and low hedges immune system in Africa are combining to lead to a resurgence in global measles after years of progress, "" commented Seth Berkley, CEO of Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance – We need to change the current strategies: the need for more efforts to increase the coverage of immunity of the wheels and strengthen health systems. Or we will continue to pursue an epidemic after another”.",576,"italy"

At the same time, the journal Sud-Ouest, we learn that the measles is not only affecting humans but also can kill mammals, and that the number of dolphins, whales and sperm whales may be affected by this virus appears to be increasing. In humans, the measles, according to WHO, would have made three times more victims during the first seven months of 2019 that during all the year 2018. For this organization, this increase in measles cases is linked to the poor vaccine coverage of the world's population. In France, since 1 January 2019, 244 cases of measles have been reported, and 73 of them had to be hospitalized for severe forms. The very great majority of these cases (91 %) have occurred in patients with non-or poorly vaccinated. It is important to know that measles is a very contagious disease caused by a virus that affects mainly the respiratory tract and causes high fevers, sometimes with complications such as pneumonia or even more serious, encephalitis is often fatal. Young children who are not vaccinated are most at risk of measles, but all persons not vaccinated are likely to be infected. There is no specific treatment for measles, we can only offer symptomatic treatments for this disease or its complications can be very serious. However, there is an effective vaccine that protects against measles (and two other diseases, mumps, and rubella). This vaccine is usually included in the immunization schedule of infants. This vaccination does not appear to have particular side effects, although some have accused her to be able to promote autism cases ",575,"france"

Between January and June this year, 357 cases of measles were identified in Belgium, compared to 117 in 2018. Mathematically, Belgium is situated at the top of the general trend which has tripled since last year. A constant increase since 2016, after a record high between February and march 2017. If the spread of the virus is affecting the three regions of the kingdom, Wallonia (179 cases) and Brussels-Capital (104 cases) were more affected than the Flanders (about 74 cases). Large outbreaks have been identified in the school environments of la Louviere or Verviers as well as in the prison of Lantin, in the province of Liege, pushing the assizes court in Liege to suspend in may, the trial of the five accused of the murder of Valentin Vermeesch. Sciensano reminded that if the virus is affecting primarily children, young adults, who are often not vaccinated or did not know their vaccination status, are also at risk. In Belgium, the vaccination is offered to all children and youth from 12 months. It is conveniently in 2 doses, first at 12 months and a second between seven and nine years.

"5690","The vaccine is made from live viruses attenuated, that is, modified in such a way as to make them harmless, but capable of stimulating the natural defenses of the organism. The vaccine is available and includes all three components, measles, mumps, and rubella. Vaccines are not available monovalent. HOW IS ADMINISTERED Is administered subcutaneously in the upper outside of the thigh in the case of children with less than 12 months of life, and in the upper area-outside of arm, in children over the age of 12 months. In April of the school of health, available on the newsstand a virtual Issuu, the specialists offer a complete guide to the diseases esantematiche: Download the pdf TO those WHO ARE ADMINISTERING The calendar involves the administration of two doses of vaccine to all new born. The first dose should be administered from 12 months of age, and in any case within 15 months of age. The second dose is scheduled in the calendar of the Italian between 5 and 6 years, to run concurrently with the booster dose of DTaP vaccine (diphtheria - tetanus - acellular pertussis). Must be vaccinated in addition all persons not vaccinated and have not had one or more of the three diseases. In unvaccinated persons, who have not had the disease and who have come in contact with people with measles, the vaccination within 72 hours (3 days) can prevent the development of the disease. In the event of an outbreak of measles the vaccine can be administered from 6 months of life. To those WHO CAN NOT BE ADMINISTERED The vaccine is contraindicated in people with severe allergy to previous doses of the same vaccine or its constituents (typically, gelatin, and neomycin). People with serious alteration defects of the immune system, or who undergo therapies immunosuppressive, as in the case of tumors, should not be vaccinated. Given that these patients may develop more frequently serious complications to the natural disease, it is important that close contacts such as family members are vaccinated to prevent the spread of infection. People who take steroids at high doses (the latter should be evaluated by a doctor) can be vaccinated a month after stopping the therapy in order not to reduce the effectiveness of the vaccine. In the same way, those who have practiced blood transfusions or treatment with immune globulin should wait at least a month before receiving the vaccine, whose effectiveness would be reduced. With the exception of the people infected with HIV may be vaccinated if they do not have the severe symptoms of AIDS. People who have an acute illness in the act is moderate or severe have to wait for the clinical improvement or the healing before receiving the vaccine. Finally, the vaccine is contraindicated in pregnancy. Women who may become pregnant should wait one month after the vaccination. HOW SAFE ARE Over 80% of children who received vaccine measles-mumps-rubella has no side effect. The adverse reactions the most frequent are redness and swelling at the point which has been inoculated with the vaccine. The 5-15% of the vaccinated may have a fever higher than 38.5°C. In some cases, it can manifest in mild symptoms similar to the disease prevented by the vaccine, rash (spots on the skin) or swelling of the salivary glands and lymph nodes. Fever, if present, is observed usually from 5 to 12 days after vaccination and may last a few days. The virus vaccine are not transmitted from person to person as the virus is natural, so the vaccinated people recently, even if they were to manifest the symptoms described above, it is not contagious. It is extremely rare in the appearance of more severe reactions such as febrile seizures, thrombocytopenia (1 in 30 thousand doses) or allergic reactions (1 in 1 million). The vaccine does not cause encephalitis and meningitis and does not cause autism, as has been proven by decades of rigorous scientific study. HOW EFFECTIVE is The vaccination, if carried out with two doses, it has an effectiveness of 98-99%. The immunity lasts for the whole life. Because the vaccine is only available in the trivalent form, that is with the vaccines for measles-rubella-mumps together, with one vaccination you get lifelong protection against the three diseases.

An epidemic similar had started on July 5, 2018 in Niger, to reach today's 2 013 suspected cases, including 37 deaths, according to the world health Organization (WHO). While the health authorities were excluded in a first time-related contamination to the water (the ingestion of water or food contaminated by the bacterium Vibrio cholerae is one of the main causes of the cholera) the algerian ministry of Health and Population said in a press release that a water source in the region of Tipasa would be at the origin of the contamination but that the tap water would remain drinkable. Cholera in Algeria, measles in France or scurvy in the United States, there is a resurgence of diseases ""old"" ? Delays in diagnosis according to an article in the american journal Science Alert published on August 14, and quoting Eric Churchill an american physician of Baystate High Street Health Center Springfield (Massachusetts), scurvy would also surface in the United States. ""We have diagnosed our first case there are five or six years. Since then, we have diagnosed between twenty and thirty,"" says the doctor. In France, there are no statistics on this disease. At most, a doctorate in medicine, William Sentenac, reported in a thesis of 2016 a case in Dieppe (Seine-Maritime) in 2011. And in 2015, a group of researchers from the university hospital of Limoges had identified ten cases of scurvy among 63 patients whose average age is 47 years. There are, however, figures for the gale – other disease resurgent identified – which has never really disappeared in France, but the incidence of which is estimated to be between 320 and 340 cases per 100 000 inhabitants. Less deadly than the scurvy or cholera, its origin refers to the sarcopte, a mite that is always present in our environment. The foci of infections remain highly localized. ""Its high infectiousness and delays in diagnosis and care, can result in many difficulties for patients, their families and the community,"" explains public Health France. In 2013, the High Council for public health noted that already a 10% increase in cases of scabies compared to 2002. Insufficient vaccine ""We are also talking about many of the cases of polio and measles,"" notes professor Gilles Pialoux, head of the department of infectious and tropical diseases of the hospital Tenon in Paris. While nearly 24 000 cases of measles were recorded between January 1, 2008 and January 1, 2017 in France, 2 567 additional cases have emerged over the last nine months. ""These figures are dismaying"", edge Gilles Pialoux. For the specialist, the outbreak of every disease is to take apart. All do not respond the same mechanisms. ""The scurvy, for example, is considered as the disease of insecurity, that can be found in highly disadvantaged or in refugee camps like this may be the case in the jungle of Calais."" This ""disease of the sailors"", in reference to the time of the Eighteenth century, when the crews went on an expedition for months, and their fresh supplies were quickly running out, is due to a deficiency of vitamin C. It affects the people who do not consume no, or very little, fruit and vegetables. This is the case of some disadvantaged neighbourhoods of large american cities, where people struggling to eat anything other than meals prepared with foods devoid of essential nutrients, and no vitamin C. at the Beginning of June yet, the High authority for health (HAS), an independent authority which sets out the good practices of care, recommended that ""the restoration of a balanced diet (fruits, vegetables, etc.) or supplementation"" in the case of suspected deficiency. ""Other epidemics, such as measles will combine several mechanisms, such as the social context and the failure of vaccine, note Gilles Pialoux. If we want to eradicate measles in France, more than 95% of immunization coverage among the population. Currently, we are at 90% for the first dose, and 80% for the second. These are national averages : in some regions, vaccine coverage falls below 65%."" Disinfection of air In all cases, the phenomenon of migration and the decline of the behaviour of preventions are so many global factors to be taken necessarily into account in the resurgence of these different so-called diseases of old. ""In general, this is not the disease itself which increases, but the systems monitor and alert of the country, namely the coordination between the agencies responsible for the management of suspected cases (crisis unit, Uas, regional agencies of health, etc.), further adds Gilles Pialoux in order to assess the relative magnitude of these outbreaks. This is particularly the case in the past ten years as we have seen with Ebola or Sars (linked to the Coronavirus). So there are very few cases escape to the authorities."" For cholera, the epidemic in Algeria has been taken seriously in France : the ministry of foreign Affairs urges in a press release its nationals travelling abroad to be cautious, stating that it was ""imperative to wear a particular attention to the rules of hygiene and safety in order to protect contamination of the digestive or of contact."" According to le Parisien, the Directorate-general of health (DGS) asked the airlines making direct links with Algeria as well as to the airports concerned and to proceed to a disinfection in case of suspicion of the disease.

To confirm this, sources are hospital. According to sources, the family would have preferred not to vaccinate the two older children, despite the smaller one - just due to leukemia - he had a compromised immune system, and therefore could neither be vaccinated nor to defend itself against any infections.The child died from the consequences of measles at Monza is not the first case in recent years. In 2015, in Rome, a child of 4 years died a panencefalite subacute sclerosing complications possible of the disease.

These are the words of professor Andrea Biondi, chief of the Paediatric Clinic of the San Gerardo hospital in Monza, which today is shut down a child of six years, sick with leukemia, after a six-month fight for life after contracting the measles. Professor Biondi, from a few months in direct contact with the minister of Health, Beatrice Lorenzin, in quality of expert of pediatric diseases, and his team has tried all the ways to save the life of the child, unfortunately without success ""came to us six months ago, to be treated as practice for her illness, we then realized that he had contracted the measles"".Then, continued the doctor, ""the disease has degenerated in pneumonia, and from march 16 has been treated with Ecmo for the cleaning of the blood. Unfortunately I didn't make it"". Blonde, in the front line in the battle for the mandatory vaccines, in the meantime, he also treated another young patient who, after having undergone a transplant, has contracted the measles ""for him the situation is resolved positively, while for the other patient, I can say that if he had not contracted the measles would have been able to live well and long. His disease is cured in approximately 80% of cases"". Only a few days ago, the specialist had received another phone call from the minister Lorenzin. ""I called to know how she was the baby, he told me to hold on and that she would have had a hearing in the Senate on the question of vaccines"".At the San Gerardo hospital in Monza there are two divisions, the Pediatric Clinic and the department of Ematoncologia, where they were treated several cases of measles in the last few months, on which the Blond had raised the alarm for a long time. ""The parents of the little we have hoped for, but they were prepared - continued - We are really touched by this story. Let us go forward, strong in the decree that we hope arginera the number of non-vaccinated, dangerous for children who can not undergo in vaccines"".

The minister of Health has stalled for the time being demand of the people for the business. Nicolae Fotin, the president of the european Medicines Agency so far, they have been notified for a total of $ 3,800, and some of the cans. Given the outbreak of measles, I have contacted the distributors of these operations will not take place until it is assured to the national market. In theory, the distributors can't legally export the dose, but the associations representing the patients, saying that it would be immoral, in the circumstances in which 22 children died from measles and none had been vaccinated. Vasile Barbu, president of the Association for the Protection of the Patient: Let's not forget that the distributors have obligations to the public, normally you would not need to do the export. It would be unethical for me, as a patient, you go to Hungary or Germany to buy it, since it was intended for the Romanian market. If the vaccine is going to be picked up from the pharmacy and sold it abroad, and your children should be immunized with the doses of which must be made available free of charge by the state.

"658","Disease measles returns worldwide, and the reasons shall we sasamat Photos: Pexels, the World has not done enough to improve vaccine coverage and currently, the cases of measles grows in almost any part of the globe, according to a report published by the world health organization. In the past year, according to a new report from the world health organization (who) and the Centers for control and prevention (CDC) in the United States, the number of cases of measles rose by more than 30% on a global scale . Experts warn from years that something like this could happen. Because although the disease can be easily prevented by two doses of the vaccine will take about 95% coverage to stop outbreaks, emphasizes ScienceAlert. Today, this goal is still not achieved. For almost ten years, failed to achieve immunization coverage of over 85 percent. And after several years of contraction, the immunization gap finally gave victims. In 2017, a new report finds that in five of the six who regions worldwide, there is an alarming increase in measles outbreaks, especially in America, Europe and the Eastern Mediterranean. Only in the region of the Western Pacific, the decline in the number of measles cases. ""Without urgent efforts to increase immunization coverage and identification of populations with unsustainable levels, not enough or Neimoidian children, we risk losing decades of progress in protecting children and communities against this destructive, but completely prevent the disease,"" warns Surya Swaminathan (Swaminathan Soumya), Deputy General Director for programs who. In order to understand what it means to people, you need only to look back several generations. Before 1963, when there is still no vaccine against measles, the world is undergoing a serious epidemic of measles every few years, causing, respectively, 2.6 million deaths per year. Five decades later, humanity is closer than ever to eliminate this very contagious and potentially fatal disease. In fact, countries such as USA, UK, Australia, New Zealand and Japan are able to do this, and many other Nations were on the verge of having to do the same. Thanks to the efforts in the world since the beginning of the century, the vaccine against measles saves more than 21 million lives, reducing global casualties by 80 percent in just 17 years. But after several years of progress, things started to change, thanks in large part to lack of funding and growth dezinformatsiya. ""The return of the disease measles is a serious concern, as flashes in the regions and especially in countries that have reached or are close to achieving measles elimination goals,"" said Swaminathan. In 2017, according to reports, the 20.8 million children worldwide didn't receive their first vaccination against measles. ""The increase in measles cases is deeply disturbing, but not surprising,"" notes on the website who Seth Berkley (Seth Berkley), chief Executive officer of GAVI, the Vaccine Alliance. Most experts in the field of public health, noticed this trend for many years. As it is a much lower risk today, many countries have become sloppy in an effort to ensure the removal of marbelito. In addition, false rumours, misconceptions and myths about vaccines, are some of the reasons for the appearance of fresh lesions. In Europe, for example, especially the influence of dezinformatsiya of vaccination against measles, where the vaccine coverage in some areas fell below 70%. ""Underestimation of the disease and spreading lies about vaccination in Europe, the collapse of the health system in Venezuela and lack of confidence and low immunization coverage in Africa combine to lead to a global resurgence of measles disease after several years of progress,"" explained Berkeley. The report calls for urgent action. They say we need sustained investment, so that the usual immunization services to be strengthened, especially among the poorest and most marginalized communities. At the same time, the authors argue that it is necessary to ensure public support for vaccinations, how to deal with dezinformatsiya and swings around vaccines as soon as possible.",559,"bulgaria"
"3629","Updated on 29. December 2019, 13:34 at minimum wage, compulsory vaccination, and the rental price brake In Germany in 2020, so things are starting to change. The most important innovations at a Glance. Several panoramic themes you will find here The minimum wage rises, Doctors may soon prescribe health Apps for kindergarten and school children, there will be a vaccination for measles. These are just three of the many things that change in the year 2020, for the people in Germany. Here are the most important changes. Tax-free amounts increase To rise at the beginning of the year 2020, the tax in any year, exemption amounts, i.e. those amounts that are not taxed. For stand-Alone 9.408 Euro per year are tax-free, in 2019, there were 240 euros less. Also the child allowance is higher: 5.172 Euro in the future per child ( 192 Euro). There are other points that should be considered in the next tax Declaration, because it can save money: for example, the food allowance increases, for example. In addition, co-payments for medicines and medical treatment can better be stopped. Minimum wage, pensions and Hartz IV rates increase From 1. January 2020 there are also higher minimum wages. So far, 9,19 euros per hour, are, will, of 9,35 Euro. The minimum wage applies across all industries, some industries have their own (higher) minimum wages as well increase in the coming year some of the. As nurses, for example, 30 cents more per hour (in the East then: 10,85 Euro, in the West: 11,35 Euro). Also, the rates for recipients of social assistance will rise to the beginning of the year, for Single parents, for example, eight euros to 432 euros per month for couples around seven Euro to 389 Euro (per Person) and for children under the age of five to five euros to 250 euros. Expected to be in July in addition, the pensions increased to 3.15 per cent in the West and 3.92 percent in the East. The rental price brake is extended, more housing money For the beginning of the year occurs in addition to a housing allowance reform, in force. It allows that in the future more people can get this help. It should benefit in particular those living in cities with high Rents and not bad earn, but not good enough to get an apartment without problems. On the subject of Housing, the rental price is part of the brake. You should ensure that landlords and new tenants can not gonna charge incredibly high Rents. A maximum of ten percent above the local comparative rent, as you may be. Rent control was first provided only until the end of the year, but it has been extended recently and is now up to at least 2025. Care: relief for family members, better training in the care sector a lot going on in the coming year. So, relatives of people in need of care who cannot pay for their care themselves will not be asked to pay at once. It is a General rule that the Department of social services to fill in if the has to be maintained, and no more money. However, it came so far, quite fast on the families - the children - in order to money back. Henceforth, however: anyone Who does not earn more than € 100,000 per year, you must pay for the care of the parents. The children do not have to prove that you deserve so much. It is simply assumed. Only when the Department of social services has a different guess, it will be given to the members. To EUR 100,000 of the gross wage, but also other income, such as capital investments. Deducted the cost of advertising and everything else that can normally be in the tax deducted. In care changes in the coming year for the trainees: there Was, as yet, the three branches of health and children's nursing, nursing and health care, there will be in future nursing education. To make the profession in which a lot of a lack of skilled workers more attractive, because later on a specialization or reorientation is possible. Funds take on more in the dentures, there is, in the future, Apps on prescription To patients a couple of new things to come in 2020, also: you will get higher co-payments for dentures, Apps can get on prescription and via a Central number of around-the-clock medical advice. The tooth replacement, i.e. in the case of bridges, dentures and crowns, to take the funds from October 2020 up to 60 percent, yet there were 50. ""Extras"" such as Gold or ceramics are excluded. Doctors should prescribe to a patient, a health App, it can be expected to be paid from the second quarter of 2020 from the health insurance Fund. A prerequisite is that it is a certified App. How the certification looks like, exactly, is not yet finally clarified. In addition, it is for chronically ill people, for example people with Diabetes to get from the beginning of the year easier for your medicine. Because there will be so-called Repeat prescriptions, recipes, on which the patients can purchase the appropriate medication up to four Times in the pharmacy, without having to each Time go to the doctor. 1. January will also be the physician on-call under the number 116 117 around the clock. Where medical advice is given and a doctor gives appointments in a reasonable distance, and the maximum time should be four weeks. A new feature this year is that it is not only a specialist appointments, but also those at home and children's doctors. Climate package: flights expensive? Train cheaper? There are also changes by the end of this year, the adopted climate change package: While the higher the flight is expensive from April 2020 may end up flying will be more expensive (""probably"" because the airlines are able to pass the tax on to the customers, but not have to), is likely to be rail travel cheaper. The reduction in the VAT rate from 19 to 7 percent in the long-distance transport can bring consumers savings around ten percent. Electricity, in turn, will be in 2020 is likely to be more expensive. Among other things, the increase of the EEG levy, the facilities are promoted, the produce green electricity, may result in. The Stiftung Warentest has calculated that the current could in a household with an annual consumption of 2500 kilowatt-hours of nine Euro more costs. Environmentally controversial, a further revision is that 1. January in force: From this date, retailers will need to print your customers a receipt. In addition, electronic cash systems must be certified in the future by the Federal office for information security (BSI). Both should prevent that in the case of the revenue is defrauded, and possibly taxes being evaded. Foreign workers to be easier here and work Starting in March 2020, it should be for skilled workers from Non-EU countries is easier to find in Germany a Job. Previously, employers had to demonstrate that they EU-wide, found no other suitable candidate. Or it had to be an industry that has a particularly large shortage of skilled workers. The void in the future. However, the EU must demonstrate to candidates that they can earn their own living and not dependent on social assistance will be. Vaccination for measles children who visit a community Agency such as the nursery or the school, must soon have been proven to be vaccinated against measles. A corresponding law applies from the 1. March. As a proof, for example, the vaccination card can be used. For educators and teachers which, incidentally, applies equally. Also, you need to be vaccinated against measles.

"4839","The signs, according to the professionals surprise that the hungarians, too, how vulnerable to the measles. The children's hospital diseases call attention to the need for epidemiological steps in Hungary. Ten, emergency department workers got sick, the children hospital, of them five are already laboratory tests have confirmed the measles. The first epidemiological steps may happen: the institution is closed, and the Country's chief medical Officer, Szentes Tamás ordered that all healthcare workers who potentially with the virus comes into contact, check your vaccination documentation, if necessary, turn them again. After the measles patient's symptoms before the appearance of four days, and the skin manifestations disappeared after several days of infection, additional disease matter to the chief medical officer's office. Same five days ago, the national Epidemiológai Centre is one of the leading staff members of the last Tuesday still talking about the M1 channel to the Hungarian children 98 percent vaccinated against measles, thanks to that in Hungary, ""population-level immunity"" developed against the disease, since it turns out that the reality may be, in fact, there are also gaps in the population to protect. Last november the Hungarian National wrote about the same you can't prove, but domestic medical circles it is an open secret that there are children's doctors who are the parents request, I don't get the mandatory vaccinations, just stamp the vaccination book. The homemade children's medical protective association estimates the population of 1.5-2 percent did not receive the mandatory vaccinations, or at least some of them. I've Szentes Tamás, chief medical officer spoke on Saturday night on public television, that vaccination does not mean 100 percent protection, as well as the population overall grafting only in 1969 and started. (The children's hospital measles suspicious employee 1975 and 1991 between was born.) The domestic immunization at the beginning of 1969, a vaccine was given, and in 1990, a new vaccine was applied and the 15-month-old infants basic immunisation was repeated at the age of 11. This was necessary because in many cases it turns out that those who were once vaccinated were for a time after decreased immunity, so the reminder of ""sting"" were given. In fact, the 47-year-old older people potentially at risk, i.e., if child's age has not undergone the disease, and now measles can be. Journal we know, they may ask for vaccination on the gp.

"3628","Federal Minister of health, Jens Spahn (CDU) has called for a measles vaccination in kindergartens and schools. ""From my point of view it makes in respect of community facilities sense,"" said Spahn on Tuesday on the sidelines of a CDU parliamentary group meeting in Düsseldorf, Germany. In addition, ideally, should be vaccinated ""medical personnel"" against measles. Legally, he think it is possible to have a vaccination in community activities. It was an intervention in the freedom, but the awareness campaigns in the past few years have not borne fruit as expected. Still, the number of measles-and new cases too high. He saw now not only one of social acceptance for the vaccination in kindergartens and schools, but also cross-party agreement, said Spahn. In community facilities, it is a matter of responsibility, not just for the child, but for all. Next week, the Grand coalition in Berlin will talk about a vaccination. ""If you want, you can implement such a scheme quickly."" To him, it was ""important that it is in the end a decision, which is also supported wide"".

"5700","Vaccinations 17/07/2017 of William Pepper Source: the Republic.it The ""castle"" vaccination mandatory built just for kids is collapsing inexorably, and day after day. And yet you pretend nothing happened. Don't talk about it. Even you flip the objective analysis of the facts. And already: all of a sudden you realize that the reality is far different from what was told to the italians. And sometimes you just need a news, even if it is hidden, to overturn a wobbly table. I am referring to the fact that yesterday it was announced the withdrawal of three athletes in our water polo, the legendary Settebello, who remained in Italy on the eve of the world swimming championships in Budapest. Why? I'm sick of measles. Is not for us to know how it has happened the infection, if the three were regularly vaccinated (for those who practice sports, especially at certain levels, it should be normal prophylaxis). It is a fact that three of our international athletes have the measles. Now, having repeated until the boredom that the much-heralded emergency vaccination shouted from the Iss, by the minister, by doctors bullies/forced labour, could not only cover the children, on the basis of the data supplied by the Istituto superiore di sanita, I could rejoice in the news. But no. Both because the Team is between the best team and coaches in the world, and it is a pleasure to see them play. Both because it confirms the lack of health - and cultural - of a vaccination campaign targeted from the outset, criminalizing parents of children who are not vaccinated. When the numbers told us a very different thing, as they bore witness to, and documented the earliest bulletins from the ministry. Yet I'm willing to bet that someone mistifichera the facts, claiming to be right about the existence of an emergency, without adding, however, that the decree of the government was set to hit only families who do not vaccinate their children. And then the adults? With them-so what? What do we say to the fact that the three samples of water Polo are sick of the measles? That is the fault of their parents, that they had been vaccinated twenty years ago? Yes, they will try to change the cards on the table trying to make us forget that across from the indonesia thesis that the measles transmits only with the children, someone had noted that it was important to vaccinate adults, and in any case, at least, school personnel and medical/health. Only in the last days of the parliamentary debate on the conversion into law of decree, Lorenzin and the ""tour company"" have noted that an intervention of the compulsory targeted only to households could no longer stand it. And what did they do? Have you modified the decree by including the mandatory vaccination for the professions of health and education. Faced, however, with the Accounting of the State and the budget Committee have warned: there is no financial coverage. For the ""scoundrels of the vaccine"" was a fool, a stop of great embarrassment. To which it should be remedied if you want to at least get a mini-victory on the field. However, the facts show that a measure limited to the school and to the medical staff is not enough even more. The sick of the Settebello offer another narrative of the ""case of measles"". Against the evidence collide with the limits of a policy health/immunization set with a single direction. But as, it is said that we are in the presence of a public health emergency and then lack the money to deal with it? How much less should agree, because if Gentiloni said there is no emergency and Lorenzin says the opposite (it is curious that the ultra vaccinisti not say anything about the statement of the premier, made during the presentation of the decree: in this case, the medical abusers/convicts are like the three monkeys), it is clear that there are those who minimize and those who exaggerate. However, if the minister has reason, and he's still wrong in having set up a media campaign, aggressive and obsessive, as opposed to parents uncertain about the importance of vaccination. Today we see the limits of the content and of the method chosen. And I'm not saying I am, but the athletes of the national team of water polo. Among other things, I am reminded of what I wrote over a year ago, when they began to talk of the prohibition of the nursery to the non-vaccinated. And the football pitches? And swimming pools? Remain open to all, vaccinated and unvaccinated? Remained unanswered questions. The obvious tactical errors and strategic of the decree (which has already undergone several modifications), you can remedy? Yes: rewriting and resetting the decree on vaccines. And the first change must relate to precisely the measles, is rather simple: the obligation of vaccination must be valid for all. As well as the punitive measures for those who do not vaccinate. And if you have the money you find, or produce vaccines in public facilities able to do it. You can ride a public health emergency (real or presumed), without realizing first that there is no tripe for cats,"" and do not thus manages the health of millions of italians.",556,"italy"

The symptoms of the measles usually appear 10 to 12 days after a person is infected and usually begin with a fever, and smallpox rash progresses from the head to the trunk and lower extremities), cough, conjunctivitis and a runny nose. There is a measles vaccine in the National Programme of Immunisation, which must also be administered at 12 months of age and five years of age.

In addition, according to data from the World Health Organization (WHO), this disease has returned this year to Albania, Czech Republic, Greece and United Kingdom. Cases of measles in 2018 doubled in number to 2017. There are still no results total for 2019, but the interim reports say that cases of measles continue at very high levels. According to the WHO, until mid-November of this year had been accounted for 413.000 cases, compared to the 353.236 recorded last year. 250.00 additional cases were registered in the Democratic Republic of Congo, in 2019. These figures multiplied by three the of 2018. A low rate of vaccination and bags of child population non-vaccinated have resulted in devastating outbreaks of measles in many parts of the world, including countries where there was a high rate of vaccination or that had succeeded in eliminating the disease. In some cases, makes it difficult to reach children in remote areas because of conflicts, reasons of safety or failures in social services. In other cases, parents do not vaccinate children for complacency, distrust, or disinformation about vaccines.

"16016","We should not be seeing cases of diphtheria anymore. This highly fatal childhood disease is covered by the basic package of vaccinations, so when it appears it shows there has been a fundamental breakdown in vaccination programmes.  In Myanmar, the Rohingya have very limited access to basic healthcare, which is why we are seeing these cases.  In the past months, more than 688,000 people have fled Myanmar and are now living in huge, overcrowded camps with inadequate access to shelter, water, food and medical care; conditions which are ripe for the spread of infectious diseases.  I arrived at the end of December to work in the diphtheria centre that MSF opened to relieve pressure on other health centres.  Donate to our Rohingya appeal >  Close contact  It’s important that patients with diphtheria are cared for separately, otherwise all other patients in a health facility are at risk of catching the disease.  When I arrived, there were about 100 patients in the centre’s orange zone, which is for patients who are not critical, but who need antibiotic treatment to recover.  In a setting like this, with a disease that affects many children, patients would often come in with a caretaker.  Anna Surinyach  Sometimes parents would also bring other children who were not infected, as there was nobody else to care for their child.  Diphtheria can be prevented in close contact by giving antibiotics, so they were given to everyone who came into the centre.  When I arrived, the plan was to open the red zone within a week. The red zone cares for more serious patients who need extra treatment to recover.  Antiquated treatment  Most patients with diphtheria have a fever, sore throat and difficulty swallowing.  For some people it can be very serious; they can have difficulty breathing, their tonsils can become inflamed.  Diphtheria forms a thick covering of the throat, which can be dislodged, obstruct the airway and cause swelling of the neck that can compress or block a person’s airways.  This often happens to children and can cause them to die.  What makes diphtheria a serious infection is that it makes a toxin, basically a poison, which can spread around the body.  This can cause complications, including with the heart; making it beat too slow, too fast, or even cause it to stop.  ""We may have cured them of diphtheria, but we are sending them back to a place where they could be at risk of further outbreaks. There has already been a measles outbreak, what will be next?""  It can also cause paralysis, including of the muscles used for breathing, so people suffocate.  The second part of the treatment is to give these patients an antitoxin. There can also be complications with this treatment, which is manufactured in horse blood.  Because outbreaks of diphtheria are so rare, no pharmaceutical company thinks there will be a market for an antitoxin that has been developed in a laboratory, so it is still manufactured in this antiquated way.  Anna Surinyach  However, products made in horse blood have a high rate of allergens in humans – they can cause people to collapse or to go into anaphylactic shock, so patients need access to emergency treatment when it is administered.  In South Africa, where I am from, we would give this kind of treatment in an intensive care setting, whereas here we have to make the treatment safe in a field hospital.  When you give the treatment you have to monitor people closely and control the rate at which it is administered.  Allergic reactions can happen very quickly, so you need one nurse per patient, which means having sufficient numbers of well-trained health workers is incredibly important.  Incredible recoveries  Bangladesh has not seen a case of diphtheria for many years, so training was incredibly important to make sure we could work safely.  It was wonderful to work with the Bangladeshi staff - due to the sheer number of patients needing treatment, they were frontline. They really took on the challenge of responding to the outbreak.  When patients, especially children, receive the antitoxin it is incredible to see them recover – even if just hours before they were lethargic and unresponsive.  I really remember children recovering and being able to go home. Or to the place they now know of as home.  Anna Surinyach Jamila, aged 10, is examined by a doctor in MSF's clinic in Uchiparang makeshift settlement after showing symptoms of diptheria.  But when patients leave the facility, you are aware you are sending them out to a camp that is seriously overcrowded, where there are water and sanitation problems.  We may have cured them of diphtheria, but we are sending them back to a place where they could be at risk of further outbreaks. There has already been a measles outbreak, what will be next?  The question remains: what is next for these people? There is a great concern that if they move back to Rakhine they could be in danger once again and have little access to assistance.  Safe and dignified voluntary repatriation can only be considered when conditions in Rakhine improve for the Rohingya.  So there was a feeling that you were making a difference to individuals at that moment of treatment, but the overall picture is far bigger.  rohingya crisis background > more on diphtheria >",551,"uk"

"18115","An alarming rise in measles cases in Italy has been blamed on an anti-vaccination movement in the country supported by the populist Five Star Movement (M5S) party.  In the first three months of 2017, more than a thousand cases of measles were recorded in the country, exceeding the total number of cases recorded in 2016.  In February alone there were 427 recorded cases, an increase of 402% compared with the previous year. The outbreak is primarily concentrated in the wealthier regions of Piedmont, Lombardy, Tuscany and Lazio, in northern and central Italy. The regional differences are due to the country's decentralised public healthcare system, which allows regional authorities to legislate around health issues as they see fit.  A bulletin from the Ministry of Health dated 17 March noted that the increase in cases has to do with ""an increased number of parents who reject vaccination, notwithstanding the solid scientific evidence and the regional measures that aim to extend the coverage"". As a result, both children and adults have suffered from the outbreak. According to the ministry data, more than half of those infected were adults aged between 15 and 39. Newborn babies were also affected by the disease before they even have the option of being vaccinated.  The last major measles outbreak in Italy was in 2002 when 60,000 people were infected and six died. The Italian government introduced an immunisation programme in 2005 to eliminate measles, but vaccination rates in Italy have been declining steadily since the anti-vaccination movement gathered momentum in the past five years. In 2011, the rates of vaccinations nationwide were 90%, still short of the World Health Organisation's recommended 95% rate to defeat the disease. Yet, in 2016, the vaccination rate had fallen further away from the target at 85%.  A doctor in the region of Apulia, one of the areas least hit by the outbreak as it has traditionally high vaccination rates of around 90%, said that parents sceptical about the vaccinations tend to change their position when presented with the possible consequences of their actions. ""I ask them to sign a form that states that the parents are aware of the health risks that they may face as a consequence of rejecting the vaccinations, so that they take all responsibility for it,"" said Dr Piero Fanelli, an Italian paediatrician ""When people have to sign, they suddenly see sense"".  Members of the movement oppose vaccinations on various grounds, including distrust towards the pharmaceutical sector in favour of homeopathic solutions and the baseless fear of child developing autism if injected with the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) jab.  Mother Elettra de Marches told The Guardian that she had decided against vaccinating her 16-year-old twins, who both got measles. ""It's a manageable disease,"" she said. ""There is no need for an injection, it's just for commercial purposes.""  Physiotherapist Michele Marchesani chose not to have his daughter vaccinated after speaking to the parents of an autistic child who believed their son's condition was caused by the MMR jab.  ""They campaigned and tried to take it to court, but didn't get anywhere with it ... I would trust the injection more if, say, a friend convinced me it was the right thing to do, but not when it comes from a politician.""  Anti-establishment M5S party founder and comedian Beppe Grillo popularised the idea of the dangers of vaccination in 2007 in one of his shows. Throughout the year, Grillo kept writing about vaccinations' dangers on his blog, which is the party's official publication. When the M5S MPs entered the Italian parliament, one of their draft legislations concerned rejection of vaccinations for public service employees.  The M5S has carried out its anti-vaccination campaign in Europe too, demanding less vaccinations. ""Mass vaccination is a gift to multinational pharma and it is the furthest thing there is to an appropriate approach,"" the M5S European group said in a statement dated October 2015.  The anti-vaccination claims were boosted in Italy by a series of court cases in which the judges sided with families suing the State, claiming their children contracted autism after the MMR vaccination. The Italian State won the appeal in all three cases, after the courts were convinced by a solid body of scientific research dismissing links between autism and vaccinations.  The secretary general of the National Federation of the Order of Doctors (FNOMCEO) Luigi Conte told an Italian news agency in October 2016 that cases of serious complications deriving from vaccinations are extremely rare. ""Complications from vaccinations are recorded in 1 case every 1,000,000, while serious complications deriving from measles or meningitis are 1 every 10,000 cases"".  The correlation between the MMR vaccination and autism was first drawn by British medical researcher Andrew Wakefield in scientific journal The Lancet in 1998. The paper sparked a major health scare with confidence in the MMR jab falling from 59% to 41%. An investigation by the Sunday Times revealed that Wakefield had manipulated evidence and was being paid by lawyers who were trying to prove that the vaccination was unsafe.  ""The defeat of polio, diphtheria and hepatitis B cannot be denied, because the greatest medical discoveries were antibiotics and vaccinations, let's not forget that,"" said Dr Fanelli ""These [anti-vaccination] rumours have to be suppressed.""  There is greater consensus in the medical community that exposure to pesticides and chemicals is harmful to young children's brains. A Columbia University study in 2012 found that children exposed to high levels of the pesticide chlorpyrifos showed persistent changes in their brains throughout childhood. Magnetic imaging revealed that the areas of the brain associated with attention, decision-making, language and impulse control were changed structurally due to the exposure.  There was outrage in the US this week after the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) denied a petition to ban the pesticide, despite known links to brain damage in young children.  ""The notion that we should continue to use a pesticide linked to autism because it's needed to feed the world is an outrageous, ridiculous statement,"" Scott Faber, the Vice-President of the Environmental Working Group, told CNN.  Italian Minister of Health Beatrice Lorenzin said her department was taking urgent measures to ""quickly regain vaccination rates that have lowered dangerously in recent years"". In January, representatives of both national and regional governments reached an understanding over a national law to make vaccinations compulsory for a child to attend kindergarten schools, but it remains unclear how fast will the law be passed through the famously slow Italian legislative system.  Italy is not alone in this issue. Measles is spreading across Europe due to a drop in immunisation coverage in several countries, such as France, Germany, Poland, Romania and Ukraine. The outbreaks in Italy and Romania are much more extreme than in the other countries, with Romania recording over 3,400 cases and 17 deaths since January 2016.  Dr Zsuzsanna Jakab, the World Health Organisation's regional Europe director, said all endemic countries ""should take urgent measures to stop transmission of measles within their borders"".  ""Together we must make sure that the hard-earned progress made towards regional elimination is not lost,"" she said.",550,"uk"

Updated: 10/12/2019 18:26h Save Send news by email Your name * Your email * Your email * The World Health Organization (WHO) just to inform you that in 2018, more than 140,000 people died of the measles virus in all over the world, mostly children under the age of 5 years. And, despite the fact that the countries most affected have been Liberia, Madagascar, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Somalia and the Ukraine, nations which concentrated nearly half of all cases of measles in the world, the report points out that, in that year, countries such as the US reported the highest number of cases in 25 years, and four European countries -Albania, Czech republic, Greece and United Kingdom - lost their certification of countries as free of measles after having recorded prolonged outbreaks of the disease. [This happens if they come back to register cases of endemic measles in a country after it has declared its eradication and if it documents a constant transmission in the country for more than a year]. The joint report from WHO and the Centers for Control and Prevention of Diseases of the USA warns that the deaths were due to the surge of measles cases that occurred globally, with outbreaks of devastating in all regions. ""The fact that there are children who die from a preventable disease, like measles, is frankly scandalous, and, in addition, reflects the failure of the collective efforts to protect the most vulnerable children of the world,"" explains Tedros Adhanom Ghebreysus, Director General of the World Health Organization. ""To save lives, we need to ensure that all people can benefit from vaccines, which means investing in vaccination and quality health care so that everyone can enjoy that right"". Measles can be prevented with a vaccine. However, the rates of vaccination in the world carry stagnant for almost a decade. The WHO and UNICEF estimate that, by 2018, 86% of the children in the world received the first dose of the measles vaccine in the framework of the programmes of routine vaccination of their countries, and less than 70 % had received the second recommended dose. The fact that there are children who die from a preventable disease, like measles, is frankly scandalous, and, in addition, reflects the failure of the collective efforts to protect world's most vulnerable children At the global level, the vaccination coverage against measles is not enough to prevent outbreaks. In order to protect the populations of this disease, the WHO recommends that all countries and communities to register a 95 % of vaccination coverage with two doses of the measles vaccine. In Spain, the Ministry of Health just recommend that those born after 1970 were vaccinated for the measles if they are not consists to be immunized. This appeal is based on the fact that the recent outbreaks of measles in our country show an increasing number of cases in people born in Spain between 1970 and 2000, most of them without documentation of having been vaccinated. In Spain, the mmr vaccine (measles, rubella and mumps) are not introduced into the immunization schedule until 1981, with high hedges since then. The WHO recommends that all countries and communities to register a 95 % of vaccination coverage with two doses of the measles vaccine in Addition, the WHO warns that the measles virus can have an impact on the long-term health. Two investigations that are independent, that published in ""Science Immunology"" and ""Science"", noted that the infection can damage the immunity against viruses and bacteria to long-term, creating a kind of 'amnesia ' immune' that leaves people more vulnerable to future infections by other pathogens, almost as helpless as a newborn. By damaging the immune system of the person, this ""amnesia immunological"" leaves the survivors vulnerable to suffer from other potentially fatal illnesses, like the flu or severe diarrhea. In the report it is estimated the total number of cases worldwide and by WHO Region, and in its conclusions it says that the most severe impacts of the disease have been registered in sub-Saharan Africa, where it is common that many children are not vaccinated. ""We've had a measles vaccine safe and effective for more than 50 years,"" says Robert Linkins, Chief of the Division of Rapid Control of the Diseases of the CDC and President of the Initiative for the Fight against Measles and Rubella. ""These estimates remind us that all the children of the world need and deserve to have this vaccine saves lives. We must reverse this trend and prevent these preventable deaths by improving access to measles vaccine and its coverage"". Although the poorest countries have been most affected, some richer countries have also fought against outbreaks of measles that have had a significant impact on the health of the people. In addition to responding to outbreaks, there is an urgent need for countries and the global health community continue to invest in national programs of vaccination and epidemiological surveillance of high quality, which will help to ensure that outbreaks of measles are detected quickly and stopped before lives are lost. ""It is tragic that in the world is recording a rapid increase in the number of cases and deaths from a disease that is easily prevented with a vaccine,"" says Seth Berkley, Ceo of Gavi. The latest information points to that unfortunately, we are regressing in our progress against the measles, a disease easily avoidable ""The unacceptable number of children who died in the past year because of the measles demonstrates that this disease is entirely preventable, is a threat to children all over the world, wherever they are,"" said Henrietta Fore, Executive Director of UNICEF. ""When there are many non-vaccinated children, the whole communities at risk."" ""The latest information suggests that unfortunately we are going backwards in our progress against the measles, a disease easily preventable,"" says Kathy Calvin, President and Executive Director of the United Nations Foundation. ""However, we can reverse the course of these outbreaks by the realization of collective efforts, the exercise of strong political commitment and the closing of gaps in essential financial.

However, the organisation estimates that only 1 in 10 cases is reported... The measles, which is a reference redness that appear on the body of the person, is a highly contagious disease for which no curative treatment exists at the present time. However, there is a vaccine. So who is to blame ? Both on the side of the WHO, in the opinion of the pediatrician Pierre Smeesters, it is because of a distrust of vaccines in rich countries, and poor access to health care in poor countries, measles is making a big comeback. ""We are facing a problem, that is a certainty,"" says from the outset, Pierre Smeesters, head of the department of pediatrics at the university Children's Hospital Queen Fabiola. And a problem that is not necessarily new. This is actually a few years that we speak of the resurgence of this contagious disease. As of 2016 the number of cases has increased, and since this increase did not increase.

We hear a lot of questions, and I find it completely normal, it is difficult to make an action similar to a child that will perfectly well to prevent that it does not fall ill in the future... But as a pediatrician, when I see children in the icu intubated, ventilated by a machine, because he has difficulty breathing due to a case of measles then it is a disease that can be prevented with a simple injection, a simple vaccination, it is true that it, it is moving for us. We treat many children at the hospital for which we could not do anything. And it is already moving. But when in addition we know that we could prevent these infections, it is clear that it affects us... "" he says.

The giants of tech such as Facebook and Google have also committed to work to limit their influence in one way or another. For Pierre Smeesters, it is true that it is a great challenge. ""WHO is leading [the vaccination and the fight against the disinformation on this subject] as one of the 10 grand challenges for global health in 2019, and I agree.

"5126","An outbreak of measles in the Westmeath area has been confirmed by the Department of Public Health HSE Midlands.  Four cases have been identified in the county, and full investigative and outbreak control measures have been put in place, according to a statement today from the HSE.  Local GPs and hospital emergency departments have been informed of the situation.  According to the HSE, measles can cause serious illness and complications.  “Measles is a potentially serious disease which can spread very easily. The symptoms of measles are an initial illness that includes a high temperature (usually over 38°C), conjunctivitis (red eyes), cough and runny nose – followed by (on about day 4) a brown or red blotchy rash – starting on the head and neck and spreading to the rest of the body.  “After coming into contact with measles, it usually takes about 14 days before the rash appears. People are infectious from 4 days before until 4 days after the onset of the rash.”  They say the key three things to know about measles are:  1. The best protection against measles is to be fully vaccinated with two doses of the MMR (Measles-Mumps-Rubella) vaccine.  2. Pregnant women who have not received two doses of MMR vaccine and who have been exposed to measles should seek medical advice by phoning their GP or maternity hospital.  3. If you have any symptoms of measles you should stay at home and not go to creche, school, college or work. Avoid all visitors. Phone your GP and explain that you may have measles. If you need to see your GP or any other health service call them first before attending – if you don’t you might put other patients at risk.  Most people with measles will recover after 7-10 days. However, for some people measles can cause serious illness including ear infections, lung infections, fits and brain damage. Complications are more likely for babies under 12 months, pregnant women, and those with weakened immune systems.  Measles during pregnancy can cause your baby to be born too small or too soon, or cause miscarriage or stillbirth. The advice from the HSE is to talk to your GP or maternity hospital as soon as possible if you're pregnant and you think you have come into contact with measles. They can tell you how to reduce your risk.  The HSE statement includes the following advice:  * All children should get MMR at 12 months of age and the second dose at 4-5 years of age.  * If your child missed any of their routine MMR vaccines you should contact your GP to get them vaccinated.  * If you are an adult born after 1978 and have not received 2 doses of MMR you should contact your GP to get the MMR vaccine.

With the outbreak of the disease has spiraled out of control, and as early as October, it was already claimed the lives of more than four hundred thousand people, and counting more than 60 people dead, mostly children up to the age of 4 years old. The number of casualties increasing, the government opted for drastic measures and called on the inhabitants not to vaccinate than to hang a red cloth on the door of the house. The executive promises that, if someone is far away and the houses in question to reach all the residents, even if they live in remote areas. Services to the public, with the exception of water and electricity, it is going to be shut down in the next couple of days, and the school has closed down more than a month ago.

The population of american Samoa is about 200 thousand people and nearly a third are already vaccinated, but the vaccine takes two weeks to guarantee immunity from prosecution, a fact that hinders the goal of ensuring that 90 per cent of the population is vaccinated. According to the world health organization, only in the main hospital of the country, it lacks the 180 nurses to carry out this task. In 2013, 90% of the children in the samoan's were immunized against measles, the rate fell to 30% in 2019. The journalist, Dora the explorer Saucer, it explains what's going on in Samoa. 00:00 to 00:00 of The decline is due to neglect but also due to an error in the preparation of the vaccine in the year 2018, which led to the death of two infants and the spread of panic among the parents who have stopped vaccinating their children. Jose Hagan, the regional director of the world health organization for the region, he said, that in the case of Samoa, reminds us of the dangers associated with what is ' probably the most contagious disease we know."" Unfortunately, the mortality rate due to measles is a lot bigger than most people think,"" said Hagan on the Radio in New Zealand. ""It is a serious disease, and we are not used to seeing it, so his death is a source of surprise to it,"" he added. This has reminded us that an estimated 21 million lives have been saved over the course of the last 20 years, by means of a measles vaccine. ""In the meantime, we're starting to see a decline, and there are outbreaks all over the world, that is, the spread of the virus through international travel,"" he said. The number of reported cases is on the rise in Europe, particularly in Great Britain, germany, Greece, Albania, and the Czech Republic. The disease is characterized by eruption of red spots on the skin that is caused by a virus that is spread very easily by direct contact or through the air. Prior to the introduction of the vaccine in the first decade of the 1970's, the disease was killing of the seven-to-eight-million children per year in the world. After a dramatic decline between 2000 and 2016, thanks to major national immunization days, measles is now rising strongly in the world, and because of the lack of confidence in the vaccine. This distrust in the vaccine, the combined measles-mumps-rubella vaccine (MMR) was brought about by a 1998 study that linked the vaccine to autism. However, it was quickly determined that the perpetrator was revealed to have fabricated his results, and many studies have shown that the vaccine does not increase the risk of developing autism, according to the WHO, more than once.",545,"portugal"

The first case of measles this year were recorded in Slovenia, and it is the children who zarazilo in Serbia, and the number of patients is increasing, and Would, but there epidemiolozi stress that not higher than average for this time of year. As a rule, no infection In the Croatian Institute of public health (HZJZ) say that the entry of measles virus in Croatia is always present, and, consequently, the possibility of an epidemic outbreak. Every year in Croatia there are some sporadic cases of measles imported from other countries, but due to the high cjepnim obuhvatima the Croatian population, in most cases, does not reach the spread of infection, warn HZJZ-V. – Measles as najzaraznija disease, which can prevent the vaccination and the risk for epidemijsko distribution primarily depends on in which the population introduced the measles virus, or procijepljenosti of the population to which the patient came, explains Bernard Kaić, an epidemiologist in the Russian Department of health. According HZJZ-and, in Croatia they cjepni to include in the doldrums for the last six years and differ among counties and cities. Least as cjepni to include in the Dubrovnik-Neretva and split-Dalmatia County, by 2016. year immunization only 65 percent of children, and then Osjecko-Baran and Primorsko-Goranska County. In these districts cjepni include lower in large cities than in other parts of the County. It is because of this falls procijepljenosti, which last year was less than 90 percent, the measles outbreak in Croatia is not excluded. Kaić says he doesn't know the reason why those 10% of children are not immunized, that is, how many of them do not cijepilo, because their parents priklonili trends necijepljenja. Epidemiologist Kaić emphasizes that it's never too late for vaccinations. A patient who cijepi 2-3 weeks prior to contact with the infected already protected against measles, but if cijepi and the day before the infection, the disease can not be avoided, but will have much less severe symptoms, and disease will be easier. In Croatia vaccination is carried out from the age of 12 months, and docjepljivanje in the seventh year of life, or when enrolling in the first grade of primary school. A very smart virus, the Disease is transmitted through kapljičnim in direct contact with bolesnikom, and possible transmission and through a third party in close contact in the family, kindergartens and schools. The virus is very sensitive, so the transmission of the disease through a third party is possible if the contact was with bolesnikom was shorter than 10 minutes, emphasize epidemiolozi. – As a rule, spoke first, fever, weakness, runny nose, conjunctivitis, or inflammation of the eye. After 4-5 days the rash begins to arise, says Kaić. The rash occurs on the body, first behind the ears, on forehead and face and then spreading across the rest of the body. When the rash breaks out fully, the temperature is reduced. After 3-4 days, the rash fades the same order and izbijao. The disease is known to be difficult, because a bacterial infection can cause inflammation of the middle ear, bronchitis, or pneumonia, and possible death. In developed countries, one of thousands of patients die from the effects of measles.

"3632","Children and youth doctor about measles ""vaccination is the lesser of two Evils"" alternative practitioners like to say, that a brings any disease. Wrong, says the child and youth doctor Christof Metzler – but only if you survive them. taz on the weekend: Mr Metzler, if parents have to decide whether to vaccinate your child or not, you quickly in the Internet on precipices. For example, the fact that the measles vaccination may have negative consequences of a measles infection to autism. Christof Metzler: fear and worry are very understandable when it comes to your own child. A vaccination is a procedure that can hurt the child. But many verunsichernde messages do not necessarily correspond to the truth – that a measles vaccine can cause autism, for example, are ""Fake News"". That a vaccine can trigger the disease, on the other hand is a bit right. A bit? About a week after live vaccination, there may be a small outbreak. In the case of measles, the child would have a fever and a measles rash. The older the children are, the longer it may take, I have experienced about four days of a ten-year-old. The are, however, cases rare individual, I can say after 25 years of practice experience. So violent as in the case of measles itself, it will never, besides, the risk of complications such as pneumonia and the after-effects is skin to the inflammation of the brain in the case of a vaccination compared to the disease is really negligible. The vaccine is the lesser of two Evils. Some naturopaths say that in some diseases, Vaccination is useful, but measles were also a part of life. In addition, the child is protected after infection, also other diseases. Since you basically have to be right. Any disease makes you – if you survive them. In the case of a disease of the body comes to rest, all the energy goes into the recovery, and as soon as the disease is tackled, he makes a big step forward. However, The medical practitioner is not a doctor. He has never dealt with a case of measles diseased child who is struggling with life. Or one that dies of a brain skin inflammation. Interview with Christof Metzler has over 25 years as a children - and Youth medicine in the lake Constance area. He is trying to achieve through the practice of everyday life, in addition to people, audiobooks, recorded, and runs the YouTube channel ""The children's doctor from the lake of Constance"". His next video will focus on the diseases against which vaccination can be. A medical practitioner who says such a thing, it should silence and shame to blush. It is an absolutely cynical thing to say, to present a potentially deadly disease such as measles as a step in the development of a child. Children receive not also through Breastfeeding is already protected by antibodies from the mother through the milk be given? When breast-feeding, no specific antibodies are disclosed, which can help against certain diseases. What is given, are General Immune-antibodies of the class A, which strengthen the immune system. The child is so less frequently and less violently ill, without being completely in front of each of the diseases protected. In the first months of their life children are still protected against certain diseases. If mothers themselves have made the diseases by or against them vaccinated, give them to your child Leihimmunität against measles, rubella, Mumps and chicken pox. The only six to eight months stops, however. That makes breast-feeding vaccination superfluous, it is a great mistake, and is given, for example, from some midwives, but in the end it is just wrong. Photo: infotext, Berlin It's not just the midwives, there are enough Physicians who make such recommendations. There are 100 Doctors about 3, with a strong set impfkritisch. The behavior should not, in my opinion, the way Doctors behave. Of course, we as Doctors have the right to have our own opinion, I find myself not all of it good, which is represented in the medicine. But it is not my job to lubricate my own mustard in the world, but the knowledge of medicine to pass. If I am critical of vaccinations, must be the first answer to questions to me the reference to a valid recommendation. The is pronounced by the Standing Committee on vaccination (Stiko). The Problem is that these people do so, as there would be in principle an Alternative to the Stiko. It is not, but only personal opinions, but. The vaccinations recommended by Stiko a whole lot, especially in the first months of life are. Could we not extend the period of time easy? I can understand that it works for one of the parents is frightening how close this Plan is. But I must say as a doctor: That makes sense. The vaccinations have to be made early, because it comes to protect the child as quickly as possible – what time is it a pathogen may encounter, you can't plan. taz on the weekend of This Text stems from the taz at the weekend. Always starting on Saturday at the Kiosk, in the eKiosk or equal to in the practical Wochenendabo. And round-the-clock in Facebook and Twitter. And our immune system is multi-tasking capable: 187 of such defense reactions at the same time can be processed, the imagine that! We could not, would die all of the children after leaving the safe womb within minutes. If the amniotic SAC bursts, fall at once millions of such agents on the child, who was sitting up still in a sterile environment. Apparently, we can deal with all of these pathogens. Yes. In contrast, a six-fold vaccine is really nothing. And I am happy about these multiple vaccinations, because they allow you to reduce the contained toxins to a Minimum – there can be six vaccinations with the amount of Beimitteln for only a vaccination is administered. The Moment: Toxins? It is known, especially mercury and aluminum. The attempt, however, was always to minimize these toxins, as well as it goes. Mercury is no longer present today, and if so, then in a harmless Form. That would be different, but as a myth is very persistent. What is the aluminum applies to: aluminum hydroxide is an active amplifier that is used in most vaccinations, but otherwise much is used. Where? To put the times in ratio: 4 milligrams of aluminum that enter the vaccinations in the first six months in a child – in the same time is a bottle-fed child takes from 40 to 120 milligrams of aluminum on the milk, even a nursing infant takes in 10 milligrams. And every Time you eat a bar of chocolate, take 50 milligrams of aluminum to itself. This belongs more generally to our life burden. Parents should, nonetheless, be against a vaccine decide, that can happen to your unvaccinated child among a thousand vaccinated children, after all, nothing, or? You are right, an UN-inoculated child is protected from many of the vaccinated children. But this is a pseudo-argument. There are other parents that your child is not vaccinated. Polio, for example, has been eradicated in Germany for many years. But pathogens from other places where there are isolated cases of Polio are carried into the country. Thus, the disease erupts again and again in Germany, you need a certain vaccination rate, the so-called herd immunity. And if an UN-inoculated child goes abroad, it may be infected also. To those who can't be vaccinated because they have, for example, leukemia. Photo: infotext, Berlin, And what is with the Argument that vaccination is only a Trick of the pharmaceutical industry to make money? I know how the world looked like before we had today's vaccines. They are born out of a necessity and no alternative in its function to protect people from potentially deadly diseases and wars in the ideal case, diseases such as Polio or measles from the world. The company I that you think so. Isn't that a little naive? That may be true, but to me, as a doctor, vaccinations offer the opportunity to protect against deadly diseases. The weighs in for me, so maybe Profit is achieved. I work with companies, I don't want to hide. I'll give you tips on how the fabrics are better for the practice of everyday life, and let me inform you. I don't have the money, great studies, I'm dependent on you. You said at the beginning, you understand the Fears of parents. How would be the right way to deal with them?

"16116","THE NUMBER of cases of measles shot up a terrifying 300 per cent worldwide in the first three months of 2019, the UN has warned.  Fear is now growing over the impact anti-vaxxers are having on public health.  1 Experts believe that anti-vaxxers are to blame for the increasing numbers of measles cases Credit: Getty - Contributor  Measles is highly contagious and can be entirely prevented by having the jab - but increasing numbers of parents are shunning the vaccination.  The World Health Organisation (WHO) said: ""Preliminary global data shows that reported cases rose by 300 per cent in the first three months of 2019, compared to the same period in 2018.""  It said that cases have been rising for two years.  In fact, the organisation warned that rates of measles had hit a decade high across the UK and Europe earlier this year.  ""While this data is provisional and not yet complete, it indicates a clear trend. Many countries are in the midst of sizeable measles outbreaks, with all regions of the world experiencing sustained rises in cases,"" a WHO spokesman said.  Tip of the iceberg  Only around one in ten cases of measles is actually reported so it could mean that the true numbers of people suffering the disease is far higher.  So far, 170 countries have reported 112,163 measles cases to the WHO.  This time last year, 163 countries had reported 28,124 cases.  The main issue is that the anti-vaxx movement is gaining more support, out of fear that the jab causes autism.  No link between autism and MMR jab  There is no link at all between having the MMR vaccine and autism - even in children who have other risk factors for the condition, scientists confirmed back in March.  That's the conclusion of a nationwide study of all children born in Denmark to Danish-born mums between 1999 and 2010.  Last week, we revealed that anti-vaxxer parents were holding ""measles parties"" to give their kids the deadly virus so they become immune and don't need an MMR jab.  People are most at risk if they live in close-knit communities in which people live closely together.  The situation has become so serious in the USA that the mayor of New York has declared a public health emergency in parts of Brooklyn, after a measles outbreak emerged in an ultra-Orthodox Jewish community, where some had resisted vaccination on religious grounds.  50 per cent jump in measles cases  WHO has said that measles cases have jumped up by 50 per cent in the last year.  It's a highly infectious viral illness that can sometimes lead to very serious complications.  It can cause things like pneumonia and encephalitis - both of which can kill or leave people seriously disabled for the rest of their lives.  Now, experts are calling for measles vaccinations to be made mandatory in certain countries.  It's given in two doses as part of the NHS childhood vaccination programme.  The first jab is given to kids at around 13 months old, while a second dose is administered at around three years, four months.

HOW TO SPOT THE SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS Measles is a highly infectious viral illness that can be very unpleasant and sometimes lead to serious complications. It's now uncommon in the UK because of the effectiveness of vaccination. Anyone can get measles if they haven't been vaccinated or they haven't had it before. It usually clears in 7 to 10 days but can lead to other serious complications. Symptoms: Initial symptoms include: cold-like symptoms like runny nose, sneezing and a cough  sore, red eyes  fever  small grey-white spots on the inside of the cheeks  aches and pains A few days later a red-brown, blotchy rash will appear, usually beginning on the head or upper neck before spreading.

Complications are more likely to develop in: babies younger than a year old  children with a poor diet  children with a weakened immune system The most common complications include diarrhoea and vomiting, ear infections, eye infection, pneumonia and bronchitis.

Dr Mary Ramsay, Head of Immunisation at PHE, said: ""This serves as an important reminder for parents to take up the offer of MMR vaccination for their children at one year of age and as a pre-school booster at three years and four months of age.  ""Children and young adults who missed out on their MMR vaccine in the past or are unsure if they had two doses should contact their GP practice to catch-up.""  The MMR jab is a combined vaccine, which protects against measles, mumps and rubella.  In order to be fully protected, it is important to have both doses of the vaccination.

The large-scale outbreaks are happening in countries where immunisation rates have dropped, the agency said.  It's now uncommon in the UK because of high vaccination rates.  As a result it is unlikely a widespread outbreak will happen, but smaller, localised cases could happen in parts where large numbers of kids and babies have not had their vaccine.

The netherlands has now run for four years in a row, under a vaccination rate of 95 percent, dropping to the level set by the world health organization as safe as it is held. Over the past few years, the government has invested a lot in education, and persuasion. These were the great measures, however, the coverage rate is now at 92,9 percent, and it has not increased, "" says Marc Dullaert, chairman of the children's fund KidsRights and the old Kinderombudsman. Today, KidsRights, the annual of the KidsRights Index, in 181 countries, in co-operation with the Erasmus University, Rotterdam, the netherlands. In this index, countries are ranked on the basis of the convention on the Rights of the United Nations, in respect. The list is topped by Iceland, Portugal, Spain, Switzerland, and Germany. Just like last year, the Netherlands is on the sixth place. In the domain of health in the Netherlands, however, are ten places to fail, because children are less well protected as a result of low vaccination rates. Against compulsory vaccination existed in the Netherlands for large problems. According to the christian party, parents may not be obliged to have their children inoculated, as that is against their conscience. ""I understand these concerns very well,"" says Dullaert. ""If education doesn't work, you will have something else to do. It may not be the case that you, as a parent of another child in danger because you are a child yourself, do not want to be vaccinated.’ Some of the experts are pulling in the efficacy of mandatory vaccination, in the shadow of a doubt. Finally, it is difficult for parents to enforce, protest, and distrust of vaccinations, and will only increase in a liability. ""It's better to never have the compulsion to have it. But, again, if all the measures taken have not proven to work, you will have other steps to take, "" says Dullaert. A spokesman for secretary of state, Frame of Health and that compulsory vaccination, at this moment in time is not an issue. ‘The cabin has a plan of action, to was sent, and the results will be seen. We are not in a critical area. The coverage has been over the last few years, still slightly lower, but in January, the national Institute for public Health and the Environment and that this decline has stopped, "" he said. ""The secretary of state has said that there will be more mandatory measures could come if the vaccination rates continue to fall, and in a dangerous situation,"" the spokesman said. Poverty in the Netherlands, thanks to his sixth place finish in the KidsRights Index, particularly in the education and protection of children. There is a good number of women is so low and go for the girls, on average, for a long time at the school. What is worrying is the number of children living in poverty, and 280 thousand, in accordance with the Social and Cultural Planning office). Also, the participation of children under the measure, just as it is in other countries, for that matter. ""The dialogue with the children, it is often non-binding, as they are very, very creative ideas,"" says princess Laurentien, who is Missing in the Chapter set up a foundation, which, inter alia, Boards of companies are trying to install. In many cities, the poor children only that they are activities that can be undertaken. Children have to experience such a pass as stigmatizing. We have little children that say, "" I'm the kid with the card. Therefore, it argued, they make all the children a card to give to poor children, more money, or points, to set it up.’ In the ranking of the KidsRights Index will be closed due to Afghanistan, at the position 181, the first place by Sierra Leone, and Nigeria. However, there is a linear relationship between welfare and children's rights. China, Burma, and India were down on the list, but their economies are growing. What is striking is the low ranking of New Zealand (169) United Kingdom (170). The Kids ' Rights, the Index set for the fulfilment of children's rights on the economic potential of the country. Along the the measure in it for the United Kingdom as a total is too short, according to Dullaert, "" Children of immigrants and refugees, are not discriminated against, there is a lack of funds have been made available for the eradication of child poverty, and children from low-income families do not have sufficient access to the legal system.’",535,"netherlands"

Six people are confirmed as having measles in Cardiff, Newport and Blaenau Gwent.  Public Health Wales confirmed two further possible cases were under investigation.  Parents are also urged to make sure their children are fully protected.  The first few cases are thought to have been exposed to the infectious illness in Cardiff city centre in early February, Public Health Wales said.  It is working with health boards and councils in south-east Wales to contact people exposed to measles cases and to arrange vaccinations.  Dr Gwen Lowe, consultant in communicable disease control for Public Health Wales, said: ""Measles is highly infectious and the only way to prevent large outbreaks is through vaccination.  ""As this outbreak has shown, even being in the same proximity as a stranger in the first stages of measles can result in infection.""

Epidemic of measles : the public authorities are urging the French to the vaccination © Maxppp / Sebastien JARRY The minister of Health, Agnes Buzyn, urged on France Inter, the French who are not vaccinated against measles to make a ""catch-up"" to halt the epidemic that is rampant in the country, mainly in New-Aquitaine. Since the month of November, the health authorities have identified 387 cases, including that of a woman not immune to it, which is dead in the CHU of Poitiers. I really wonder at the people who are not vaccinated or who have not vaccinated their children to do a catch-up. On the other hand, if you've already had measles, you don't need to get vaccinated. If the child received the first dose, If your child has not received a single dose of vaccine at the age of one year, it must receive a second injection is normally between 16 and 18 months. If it has not been vaccinated for the second time, it just have to complete the vaccination with a second dose of vaccine, regardless of the age at which the first dose has been made. Therefore, it is not necessary to start over from scratch. If the adult has not been vaccinated For the individuals born before 1980, the risk of contracting measles remain low because, at that time, the virus was very present and there is a very high likelihood that you have contracted the disease. For people born after 1980, it is recommended to update its vaccine, receiving two doses. Where it is not necessary to start from scratch. If you have already received a first dose, you just need to get the second, regardless of the time interval between the two injections. A vaccine is now mandatory for babies The measles vaccine (MMR) is a party since January 1, 2018 of the eleven vaccines required for children born on or after the beginning of the year 2017.

"20105","Scientists insist on the importance of a widespread vaccination capable of preventing measles and also the weakening of the immunity to other virus Not to vaccinate the children against measles not only leaves them without a shield against the disease but when they have to face it, they are left with an immunity especially damaged. Somehow, the contact with this virus produces a kind of 'amnesia' by which your immune system forgets how to fight against infections caused by other pathogens for months and even years. It leaves him vulnerable and exhausted in front of new attacks. More arguments in favor of its benefits, and supported by two articles that the journals 'Science' and 'Science Immunology' published this week. In the words of the scientists involved, ""it is important and necessary widespread vaccination to prevent measles and also the weakening of the 'immunity ' collective' versus other types of pathogens"". After the analysis of the immune system of 77 children who had not been vaccinated against the measles, the researchers observed that the contact with this disease could cause a suppression immune of the individual that stretched for months and sometimes for years after the disappearance of the characteristic symptoms, such as skin rashes. Probably, the authors point out, this vulnerability is the reason for the hypothesis of previous studies that linked the measles, with 50% of child deaths due to infectious diseases. To understand how it produces this 'amnesia immune' after the measles in humans, the team of the specialist in Immunogenetic Velislava Petrova, of the Sanger Institute of Cambridge (a british institution nonprofit dedicated to researching genomics and genetics), delves into the ins and outs of this process viral. To do this, they sequenced the B cell (are able to recognize a virus and activate it) of the 77 immune systems are not-vaccinated children between four and 17 years, from schools of orthodox protestants in the Netherlands. Analyzed before and after the measles infection. When comparing data, the researchers identified two direct consequences of the virus in children. On the one hand, the replenishment incomplete group of B-cells and other immune memory weakened by the depletion of these cells. In short, the measles produced a 'amnesia immune' in the non-vaccinated children that they would be more vulnerable to future infections caused by other viruses and bacteria. A theory that supports the research of 'Science', in which the team of a specialist in genetics, Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Boston Michael Mina has used a tool called VirScan in order to analyze the antibody responses against thousands of antigens of viral and microbial in the blood. The scientists found that two months after the measles infection, the disease had been removed between 11% and 73% of the antibody repertoire of the individual. This is precisely what compromises greatly the immune memory even after the recovery. On the contrary, ""we did not observe a depletion of antibodies in the vaccinated infants against measles, rubella and mumps,"" says Mina. In previous studies in macaques with measles, 60% of the antibody repertoire could not be detected during at least five months. Although it could be rebuilt with the re-exposure to the pathogen, ""this process could extend for months or even years, with the risks that this poses on the health,"" reads the study.",519,"spain"
"80111","More than 142,000 people, many of them children, were killed in 2018 by measles in the world, a year-onyear increase of 14.5% that, according to the World Health Organization (WHO) reveals the ""collective failure"" in the case of vaccination against a disease that was in decline for many years. The total number of cases estimated in 2018 amounted to 9,76 million, a rise of 28.7 %, which confirms the strong resurgence of the disease had been detected the previous year. This trend has given to the fret with fifteen years of steady progress, reflected in a 70% reduction of cases and deaths. NEWS RELATED to Measles, the rise of an almost eradicated disease ""There is a vaccine tested against the measles for over 50 years and is a collective failure that these outbreaks are occurring, and to increase cases and deaths, which occurs because people are not being adequately vaccinated"", said when presenting the annual data dr. Kate O'brien, director of immunization and vaccines to the WHO. Without the prospect of improvement, O'brien said that 2019 will end with a significant increase of cases, after a few major outbreaks in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (to 250,000 cases diagnosed so far), Madagascar (120,000) and Ukraine (50.000). In addition, so far this year, four countries that had 12 months without a record of cases that have suffered outbreaks (Uk, Greece, Albania and Czech Republic). Some flare-ups ""have their origin in the perception of the public about the vaccines, concerns about its safety,"" said the expert in reference to movements antivacunas that, in his opinion, must be combated with clear messages on the importance and reliability of the immunization campaigns. The case of Samoa, a warning to the world In this sense, O'brien cited the example of Samoa, country where the campaigns antivacunas made that would have a very low level of immunization among young children (around 30 %), which facilitated the extension of an outbreak, with 4,000 cases that have caused 53 dead, mostly minors. The antivacunas used a medical error that resulted in the death of two children on that island (the nurses mixed in a negligent manner in the antibody with a muscle relaxant expired) to sow doubts in the population, which contributed to the current outbreak, alarming for a country of less than 200,000 inhabitants. High incidence in Asia and Africa, the poor in Latin america By regions, southeast Asia was the most affected area in 2018 (a total of 3.8 million cases and 39.100 deaths), followed by Africa, with 1.75 million cases and 52.600 deaths, according to WHO estimates developed in collaboration with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention of the united States, an agency of the Department of Health of this country. Latin america, which in 2017 experienced a resurgence of measles, particularly in Venezuela or Brazil, but it was one of the regions with the least cases (83.500) and it is expected that in 2019 the decline to continue. The importance of the second dose The WHO and the Fund United Nations Children's fund (Unicef) remember that measles can be prevented with two doses of the vaccine during childhood, although many children receive only the first. These organizations see a need, at least 95 % of children are vaccinated in the world to slow the advance of the disease, and although the administration of the first dose is closer to this goal (86 %), the second is less than 70 %. ""We need to focus in strengthening immunization programmes country-by-country, and that the dose to be inoculated at ages as early as possible"", said O'brien, recalling that it is estimated that vaccination has saved 23 million lives in this century. Measles may facilitate the occurrence of life-threatening complications, such as pneumonia or encephalitis, especially in children under five years of age, and cause permanent brain damage, blindness or hearing loss. According to recent studies, this disease can also weaken over months or even years for the immune system although the sick person to recover, thus being more vulnerable to potentially fatal diseases such as the flu or severe diarrhea.",519,"spain"

"5724","The midwife ""has directly assisted to only one childbirth in the period of incubation of the disease. From the beginning of August in the department were born 5 or 6 kids, for a month, the span of time that could theoretically develop the disease, will be recalled each week in Pedriatria for a follow-up"", assures the president of the regional Commission for Healthcare Fabrizio Volpini. ""Our surveillance system - said - it worked very well. We were able to narrow down all of the contacts he had from the midwife, we have kept some children and parents in the observation, we check the state of immunity of the couples"". If moms and dads are vaccinated or had contracted in the past, the virus wild measles infants are 'coperti and, at least for a few months, do not risk anything. This event, "" commented Ferreira, doctor and father of two medical doctors, pro-vax militant, shows that getting vaccinated is ""an act of collective protection"". Last update: 29 August, 16:43 © REPRODUCTION RESERVED worsens the clinical picture of the midwife moved away from the service from hospital Senigallia because suffering from measles. The woman has contracted pneumonia, one of the complications that may occur (according to the statistics, in six cases out of 100) after being infected with paramyxovirus. The medical director of the hospital of Senigallia, Silvana Serious, however, has insured that, so far, there have been no new cases of measles, thanks to the procedures antidiffusione activated from Friday, August 25, when the case of the operating unit ill has been communicated to management.The midwife was absent from work for illness since the day 20. The case was reported on August 25, and the health department of the Hospital of Senigallia, he communicated the case to the ISP Service – Infectious Diseases of the Department of Prevention, which has immediately started the epidemiological investigation with the assistance of the medical direction of the Hospital. In view of the need to rebuild quickly, the contacts from the midwife and sick in the likely days of incubation of the disease, has been established a first working group with the participation of doctors of the Department of Prevention, directorate of nursing for shifts workers, first aid, medical Direction hospital, division of obstetrics and pediatrics.Are meanwhile seven people temporarily removed from service in a Hospital, why not immune to measles. Is what is learned by the medical department of the Hospital of senigallia. The four operators of the department of obstetrics and two radiology personnel not vaccinated against the measles, which did not contract the disease in the past or that he does not remember whether she had it, were temporarily away, waiting to be announced the results of the immunological tests which they were subjected.The case is in ""big trouble,"" says the immunologist Roberto Burioni in a post on Facebook. ""First of all - writes Burioni - measles is a highly infectious bug. This is not only because the person who contracts the virus spread in a highly effective, but especially because the virus is issued by the person even in the days before the disease"". The role of midwives, the stresses Burioni, is particularly delicate. ""A midwife usually has to do with pregnant women. The measles, contracted during pregnancy, it is a possibility serious that can lead to dramatic consequences for the fetus. If one of the pregnant women with whom you come in contact with has contracted the infection, in this moment, along with the child she bears in her womb, is in serious danger. Understand that it is a situation so little desirable, and the most serious thing is that it is easily avoidable. The midwife had not been vaccinated: if it had been it would not have been able to contract the measles and could not pass it alledonne pregnant. Anyone who works in a hospital is by the side most exposed to the contagion, the other is in contact with the most vulnerable populations: must be vaccinated. There is written in no law but the personal sense of responsibility should lead the health of this choice to protect himself and to protect patients. Not enough: when a woman approaches the of childbearing age must comply with the vaccination, because a measles, a rubella, or chicken pox can turn nine months of happy anticipation in a terrible nightmare, and avoidable with a simple, harmless and effective vaccination"".",514,"italy"
"57812","The Ministry of Health established in their common calendar of vaccination that everyone born after 1970 and who have not been vaccinated or have not had measles, should visit their health center to be vaccinated. He has remembered this Saturday, the department that directs María Luisa Carcedo after this Friday sources of Health asserted, wrongly, that they advised the vaccine to those born before 1970. Health agree well with the recommendation of the Spanish Society of Epidemiology about who should be vaccinated who are between 40 and 50 years if you are not sure you have received the two required doses of the vaccine or have not had measles. This protocol Spanish on vaccination for those born since 1970 could be added to other measures since they are currently in the Public Health Commission of the Ministry is discussing with the communities to implement the Plan of prevention against measles with other new. It just so happens that this week has been known a report based on the data of the 53 countries that make up the european area of the who notes that four countries have lost the status of having eradicated the disease (United Kingdom, Albania, Czech Republic and Greece), while two others (Austria and Switzerland) have reached. With regard to Spain, WHO verified that it was a country free of measles virus and Health called it a ""success of the National Health System"" (in a press release on August 16). Is specified then the 233 cases of measles confirmed in Spain between 1 January and 21 July of 2019 are ""imported cases or side to them"" and the transmission ""has been interrupted with ease."" In Spain, the vaccination schedule includes mmr (measles, rubella and mumps) with two doses: one at 12 months and another at 3/4 years of age, you are reminded on the website of the Spanish Association of Pediatrics. And for any age: 2 doses, with an interval of one month between the two (with very few contraindications, e.g., pregnancy).",513,"spain"

""With constraints, you will come no further,"" said NEOS health spokesman Gerald Loacker. There is a need for a package of measures to make the vaccine as easy as possible. ""If parents want to let their child absolutely refuses to vaccinate, you will also benefit of a vaccination is nothing, even if short-sighted at the end of the country thinking princes of the faith,"" he criticized. The Green can imagine according to the Vice-club boss Sigrid Maurer is a mandatory vaccination, at best, ""in the very last consequence, in the case of especially dangerous diseases"". ""Basically, the most important thing of all is, of course, the enlightenment"" about immunizations, she said in the ""Ö1-Mittagsjournal"". Health Minister for more clarification, Minister of health of Zarfl referred to the ongoing revision of the epidemics act, which provides for a measles vaccination for health staff. What relates to the vaccination rates in the population, referred to experience of other European countries, where those are the most successful, ""which provide many opportunities"" to have missed vaccinations to catch up on. Sweden, for example, have one of the highest vaccination rates in the EU, but not an obligation. On the Basis of this evidence, Zarfl, wanted the transitional government to raise awareness and memory. Finally, 95 percent of the children in Austria were given the first vaccination against measles, the second - necessary - not more and then completed a variety of reasons so often.",512,"austria"

"5723","From December to today, there are many specimens of the striped dolphin deaths on the coast of tuscany, liguria and French. The last week there have been reported some carcasses of dolphins in the Imperia and Savona. The last case (there are at least five), dating back to Monday, when the sample that only 24 hours before, he had been spotted alive in a channel of calm of the hamlet of genoa Pra’, was found dead. And makes its way to the assumptions of the dolphin morbillivirus, a virus similar to measles. ""The virus is now endemic in the Mediterranean, it is found frequently in animals that strand along, but it has also created a population immunity. For this there are larger epidemic events, but seasonally and in some areas, animals that have a reduced immunity — as the exemplars of the old, young and babies contract the virus and die,"" explains Sandro Mazzariol, a researcher of general Pathology and pathological Anatomy at the University of Padua. Epidemics, Then, after the epidemics, real and of their own (1992, 2006-2007 and 2013) which are responsible for large die-offs of hundreds of victims along the mediterranean coasts, at the moment, we are witnessing episodes marked by mortality minor, like those that occurred last year in Tuscany, and in the Ionian sea. In the last case of Pra' ""there is still a correlation between certain death of the specimen and the virus,"" stresses Mazzariol.

"5727","Faenza (Ravenna), 17 April 2019 - Still don't know if it's measles, but one thing is certain: the child of a kindergarten in Faenza, who may have contracted the disease was not vaccinated. By the time it was rumored among the parents of the other little ones that mom had sent a text message in the chat of whatsapp its section, in which he said that he or she is the mother of the sick child and admitted to not having it vaccinated for measles, though the law is mandatory. Now the confirmation comes also from sources internal to the world of the school. A look that, even in the case in which the analysis disprove the initial diagnosis, is bound to create a lot of controversy between the parents of the other children, since according to the law from the 10th of march all the primary schools and kindergartens can no longer accept unvaccinated children. For the rest, the climate is ignited by the days in the chat room of the parents: from when, that is, last Wednesday, the local health authority has called all the families asking to bring all the children to do in advance, the second dose of the vaccine, which usually is between 5 and 6 years, in order to avoid problems. The first dose, however, 12 months. Among the parents in the last days arose also doubt that unvaccinated children in the school are more than one. Doubt those that have brought before one of the mothers representatives to go talk with the school manager, who answered not to be able to say anything for privacy and invited her to apply to the land registry office, and then yet another to report the incident to the police. Now other parents are considering contacting the police for the same reason. In the meantime, the child is followed by the doctors of the hospital: there is still a confirmation, but suspected to have contracted the measles is very strong. The child is home from school for several days: initially the disease had been mistaken for otitis, and had been prescribed medication against infections of the ear. Only later, with the appearance of the red dots on the skin, the parents took him to the hospital, where the doctors have realized that very likely the child has contracted the measles. The child – we do not provide any information which may lead to identify it – has been subjected to a series of examinations the results of which will confirm or refute the diagnosis.",509,"italy"
"5127","Measles, mumps and rubella  This page provides a brief summary of the disease and the vaccine that is available to prevent it. Links to more detailed information are provided at the bottom of the page.  What are measles, mumps and rubella?  Measles, mumps and rubella (German measles) are highly infectious diseases caused by viruses.  Back to top  How do people get measles, mumps and rubella?  Measles, mumps and rubella (German measles) are spread by close contact with an infected person.  Back to top  What are the symptoms of measles, mumps and rubella?  Measles causes fever, cough, red and painful eyes, and a rash.  Mumps causes swollen neck glands and a fever.  Rubella (German measles) causes a rash, fever and swollen glands. If a pregnant woman gets rubella in early pregnancy it may cause major birth defects in the baby.  If 1000 people get measles  1 or 2 will die  50 will get an ear infection  40 will get pneumonia or bronchitis  5 will have convulsions (fits)  160 will get diarrhoea  1 will develop encephalitis (swelling of the brain) For every 10 children who develop encephalitis - 1 will die and - up to 4 will have brain damage.  1 in 8000 children under two years of age get SSPE (brain degeneration), which may be many years after measles and is always fatal.  1 in 6000 will get a blood clotting problem.  If 1000 people get mumps:  50 will get viral meningitis  1 will get encephalitis (brain inflammation)  400 men who have mumps will get swollen testicles  300 will get fever, a headache, and swollen salivary glands under the jaw, and  1 in 20,000 will become deaf.  Mumps can also rarely cause infertility in men.  Of the people who get rubella (German measles):  About 1 in 2 will get a rash and painful swollen glands; and more than half of women with rubella get painful joints.  1 in 3000 get thrombocytopenia (bruising or bleeding of the skin);  1 in 6000 get encephalitis (inflammation of the brain);  If a pregnant woman gets rubella in early pregnancy 9 in 10 babies will have a major birth defect, such as deafness, blindness, brain damage or heart defects.  Back to top  Who should get MMR vaccine?  MMR vaccine protects against measles, mumps and rubella (German measles). It is a live vaccine which means it contains weakened forms of the measles, mumps and rubella viruses.  When the measles vaccine was introduced in Ireland in 1985, the number of cases of measles dropped from 10,000 in that year to 201 cases in 1987. Measles is highly infectious and the number of cases of measles and the complications of measles would increase rapidly if children were not given the MMR vaccine.  MMR vaccine is given to babies at 12 months of age.  Children should get a second dose at 4-5 years of age. This is usually given at school by the HSE’s school immunisation teams but in some areas it is given by the child’s GP.  Two doses of MMR vaccine are required to give the best protection.  Some children may have missed their two doses of MMR vaccine and this has led to recent outbreaks of mumps and measles.  Older children and young adults who have not completed (or are not sure they have completed) their two dose MMR vaccination schedule should be vaccinated as soon as possible.  Back to top  Who should not get the MMR vaccine?  The MMR vaccine is safe for most people.  However, you or your child should not get the vaccine if they have had a severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis) to a previous MMR vaccine or any part of the vaccine (including gelatin for the MMRVaxPro MMR vaccine) or a severe allergic reaction to an antibiotic called neomycin.  The vaccine should not be given to anyone who is pregnant.  You should delay getting the vaccine if your child:  is ill with a fever  has had varicella vaccine, within the previous four weeks.  is on high dose steroids  is having any treatment with chemotherapy or radiotherapy  is on treatment with Protopic ointment for severe eczema  has any illness or disease that affects their immune system  has had recent blood or blood products  If your child is on any of the treatments listed above you should discuss vaccination with your child’s doctor.  If a person’s immune system is severely affected, by illness or treatment, they may not be able to get the vaccine.  If you have any concerns, talk to your family doctor or public health nurse.  Back to top  Should my child get MMR vaccine if they have an egg allergy?  Yes - MMR vaccine can be given to children with a severe egg allergy. A severe allergy to the MMR vaccine is extremely rare even in children with a serious egg allergy. It is not necessary to avoid the MMR vaccine if your child dislikes eggs or has diarrhoea or stomach pains after eating eggs and you do not need to take any special precautions. If you have any doubts, talk to the doctor or nurse giving the immunisation.  Back to top  Is there a link between the MMR vaccine and autism or bowel disease?  We know that vaccines don’t cause autism, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, allergies, asthma or attention deficit disorder (hyperactivity). However, when things happen around the time vaccines are given we can think that there is a link between the two things. For example, the signs of autism usually become noticeable at about the age when children are given the MMR vaccine, but one does not cause the other. The majority of children are immunised, therefore children with and children without conditions such as autism, asthma or attention deficit disorder are just as likely to have received the same immunisations.  Over the past 30 years, more than 500 million doses of MMR vaccine have been given in over 90 countries. Experts from around the world, including the World Health Organization, agree that there is no link between the MMR vaccine and autism or inflammatory bowel disease.  Studies to see if children who have been immunised are more likely to have these conditions have shown that there is no link between the conditions and vaccines. Extensive research into the MMR vaccine, involving thousands of children, was carried out in the UK, the USA, Sweden, and Finland. This research showed that there is no link between MMR and autism. A study looked at the vaccination records of every child born in Denmark from 1991 to 1998 (over half a million children). During that time, 82% of children born in Denmark received the MMR vaccine. The researchers found that the risk of autism was the same in immunised children and in children who had not been immunised.  The General Medical Council in the UK in May 2010 decided that Dr Andrew Wakefield should be removed from the medical register after finding him guilty of serious professional misconduct and unethical behaviour in relation to research he carried out on children. Dr Wakefield used the results of this research to falsely represent a link between the MMR vaccine and autism.  Several professional organisations dedicated to finding a cure for autism have published position statements regarding autism and vaccines.  Autism Speaks (2015), the world’s leading autism science and advocacy organisation has stated,  “Over the last two decades, extensive research has asked whether there is any link between childhood vaccinations and autism. The results of this research are clear: Vaccines do not cause autism. We urge that all children be fully vaccinated”.  Back to top  What to expect after getting MMR vaccine?  After getting the vaccine, your child may have discomfort, redness or swelling around the area where the injection was given. They may be irritable and have a fever.  If this happens you can give them liquid infant paracetamol or infant ibuprofen. You should also give them plenty to drink. Make sure they are not too warm and that their clothes are not rubbing against the injection area.  Children usually recover from these minor side effects within a day or two  Of the people who are immunised:  1 in 10 will have discomfort, redness or swelling where the injection was given, or will have a fever  1 in 20 will get a rash six to 12 days later(this is not contagious)  1 in 20 get swollen glands, a stiff neck, or joint pains  1 in 100 may develop swelling of the salivary glands under the jaw in the third week after vaccination (this is not contagious)    1 in 1000 will have a convulsion (fit)  1 in 22,000 will get a temporary blood clotting problem / bruising or bleeding  1 in 10,000,000 may develop encephalitis (inflammation of the brain).  Serious side effects are very rare.  Back to top  If my child gets mini measles/mini mumps, can they spread the disease?  No.  The MMR vaccine does not shed, therefore there is no risk of spreading measles infection after vaccination. There have been no reports of vaccinated people passing infection to contacts.  It is very important that every child receives the MMR vaccine on time so they are protected from measles, mumps and rubella disease.  Back to top  How does MMR vaccine work?

The outbreaks recorded has increased to 115 thousand: this is the largest outbreak in the history of the Country. In Madagascar, only 58% of people are vaccinated against this disease caused by a virus of the genus morbillivirus. According to experts, to avoid the epidemics, we would like a coverage of between 90% and 95%.

For this I am more and more convinced that the compulsory vaccination is the right way – explains Fabrizio Ferreira, president of the health Commission –. At the national level approximately 30% of the cases of measles that have been reported concerning health care staff is not vaccinated. For this, one is studying a measure that will allow the health care staff is not vaccinated and access to vaccination”. This episode, which was readily controlled by the integrated efforts of the staff of the different organizational structures of the AV 2 ASUR Senigallia, indicates how the epidemic of measles Italian, is still active and needs the attention and awareness of all citizens that vaccination is an indispensable tool for not put you at risk of serious consequences, in particular those most vulnerable, in this case pregnant women and infants. In this context confirms the need to adhere to the part of the parents to the new legislation that makes it obligatory, among other, also the vaccination for measles for their children.

The World Health Organization fixed at 95%, the safety threshold minimum for the coverage of vaccines: below 95% pathogens continue to circulate, putting at risk the health of all. This is the threshold related to the so-called immunity of the flock (or of the population or heard immunity): in fact, if at least 95% of the population is vaccinated, you protect, indirectly, also those who, for health reasons, it has not been possible to submit to vaccination.",508,"italy"

The Sergas is aware of and has advance its epidemiological report published bi-weekly to analyze the situation of this disease, highly contagious. This is not the only outbreak that was recorded in Europe nor in Spain, but taking into account the proximity, ""to the intense relationship interpersoal e a magnitude do button, semella that suppose a maior risco de in Galicia, may ocorrer a case of sarampelo derived from button"", supported by the Department of Health. Hence, the health administration wants to put all the resources needed to avoid that appear a affected in the community. The most important is prevention through vaccination of health workers. The figures speak for themselves. In Portugal have already been confirmed 62 positive cases and 55 are health professionals, who are infected by being in contact with any infected. Sergas indicates that it is fundamental to the vaccination of all those who were born after 1967, do not have the two doses and have not passed the disease. Professionals are encouraged to two immunizations of mmr -a if you already had some), taking into account that women of childbearing age should avoid pregnancy in the month after vaccination. Measles in Portugal The Voice of Galicia, The Voice is Not only the health should be protected, but that they must be alert to any patient who present a clinical picture that may correspond with the measles. That is to say, a fever equal to 38 degrees, a rash of reddish colour, and a cough, conjunctivitis or inflammation of the lining of the nostrils. In this case it will be necessary to notify of an urgent situation the system of epidemiological alert in Galicia. The Sergas is confident that there is no case, but it is clearly something that can't be ruled out one hundred percent. The odds are low ""but not zero"". In terms of the importance of health to be vaccinated, the Government ensures that they must do so always, so what ""or fai agora é lembrar recommendation"". If there is any imported case, logically it would use health care, so in order to try to reduce the number of affected among the health personnel is important, ""ao be or sarampelo unha enfermidade moi transmissible, be ben immunized and being protected"". Health ensures that have not appeared in any case endemic for many years -that is to say, that is not imported-. In the last decade 2006-2015 was declared in the community eleven affected by measles. In Portugal the latest update of the outbreak recorded 62 confirmed cases, 61 in the north and one in the central region. Only 11 % of the patients were not vaccinated against the measles, while 16% had not had the vaccine in the right doses. Almost all, health service, health luso ensures that there are people who are already cured, and nine out of ten affected are health professionals, because they were in contact with the cases. In fact Sergas remember that the risk of contracting the disease of workers of health care facilities is thirteen times greater than the general population. Two people remain housed and are being analyzed 36 other diagnoses suspected. The outbreak in Portugal affected in addition to older people, but young.

"5728","Measles “delete” immunity against other infections, the vaccine also protects against those Not vaccinated against measles may be more dangerous than you thought. Getting sick with the measles, in fact, makes it even more vulnerable in front of other infections, including those against which you have immunized in the past. A study conducted by Michael Mina of the Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health suggests that not vaccinating children against measles increases the risk of being infected by other infectious diseases as well as severe in the 2-3 years following the measles. Then, having survived the measles, children can get sick, or die to other infections against which they had already developed immune defences. Defenses that the measles virus may delete. These conclusions, presented in the occasion of the fifth conference on vaccines of the European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (Escmid) to Bilbao (Spain), are supported by numerous other studies, which show that when the measles virus affects a person goes on to infect a large part of the “memory cells” of the immune system. This results in the so-called immun-amnesia, for which the immune system fails to remember some of the diseases that has been fought in the past, thus exposing the children to re-infection with these other diseases. These results help to explain the mysterious declines in mortality up to 50 percent following the introduction of vaccination against measles. Before vaccines measles was usually associated with much less than 50 percent of child deaths. This is a phenomenon that passed unnoticed in previous years because clinicians, for example, not linking the death to another infectious disease, an infection from measles, that the child would have had in the previous two years. In many cases, the measles might have deleted from the immune memory of the child, the other pathogen infecting it. “Since that time we think that infections from measles can erase the memory immune pre-existing, which prevents infection from the measles through vaccination, we can also prevent future infections,” says Mina. In another epidemiological study led by Mina, were examined the clinical results of more than 2 thousand children infected with measles in the United Kingdom. In that study, they found that the children were significantly more likely to require medical visits and had higher rates of prescriptions for antibiotics in the 2-5 years after the measles. All these studies suggest, therefore, that the prevention of measles by vaccination is crucial. We must not forget, also, that the measles can kill. Complications are relatively rare, but the disease is still responsible for a number between 30 and 100 deaths for every 100 thousand people affected. The complications are mainly due to super-infections, bacterial: otitis media, laryngitis, diarrhea, pneumonia or encephalitis (inflammation of the brain). Occurs more often in infants, in malnourished children or in people immunocompromesse. In Europe it has become a real emergency. Compared to last year, 2019, the cases of measles have more than doubled the Old Continent. According to the world health Organization (Who) at the beginning of this year were registered nearly 90 thousand cases and 37 deaths. In the rest of the world the number of cases has increased 300 percent in the first half of 2019, around 364.808. With precision the Who refers to 89.994 cases reported in 48 Countries in europe, more than double compared to the same period in 2018, when they were 44.175, and already higher than all of those, 2018, in 84.462.",507,"italy"

While an epidemic is raging in France and in Europe, many cases were reported in the region, where the risk of recurrence is enhanced by a vaccination coverage lower than in the rest of the country. Measles is the most contagious of infectious diseases : a sick person can infect 15 to 20 people healthy. This disease, mistakenly regarded as bégnine, can lead to serious complications (pneumonia, encephalitis,...), especially in infants. It is a virus that spreads very easily through the air when coughing, sneezing, or by contact with soiled hands or contaminated objects (handkerchiefs, toys, etc). Measles is characterized by high fever, associated with cough, rhino-pharyngitis, or conjunctivitis, and a rash. Contagion is effective even before the appearance of pimples. There is no treatment for measles, the only effective protection remains the vaccination. But while she has almost disappeared in many countries, the virus is still circulating actively in France, due to inadequate immunization coverage. Yet, the MMR vaccine (measles, mumps, rubella) is recommended from the age of 1 year, but also in adults born after 1980.

"41713","0 Facebook 0 Twitter 0 WhatsApp 0 The Voice of Galicia, The Voice James 06/09/2019 08:55 h The importance of getting vaccinated against the measles becomes even more important after Harvard researchers give to knowing the results of a job at the fifth Conference of the Vaccines of the European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases. Michael Mina, of the Centre of Dynamics of Communicable Diseases of the School of Public Health, Harvard TH Chan and the Harvard Medical School, as well as scientists from his group and from other teams, suggest that measles infection in unvaccinated children increases the risk of other infectious diseases severe in the two or three years after infection, as stated in Europa Press. That is to say, the vaccine not only protects you against measles, but also against the possibility that the child get sick or die of diseases in front of which was already protected. Why? The researchers sufieren that the measles virus erases the memory immune that had been developed by the small to overcome certain diseases. Is the so-called inmunoamnesia, so that the patient is again exposed to these infectious diseases. These findings help to explain the huge drop in child mortality when he began to spread of the measles vaccine. Although this disease did not cause 50 % of deaths in children age, when it appeared the vaccine the mortality rates themselves fell almost 50 %, to prevent the reinfection of other different diseases. Mine reminded in this conference that epidemiological data from the United Kingdom, the united States and Denmark, demonstrate that measles makes children that have past have a higher risk of mortality from other infections in the two or three years later. Another epidemiological study that analyzed the clinical results of more than two thousand children infected in the Uk concludes that these small were more likely to go back to the doctor and require antibiotics between two and five years after a measles. To the point that Michael Mina points out that it might be reasonable to consider revaccination of other pathologies in childhood when a child sick with the measles. However, in order to avoid all these complications, the conclusion more evident from the research is that the measles vaccine is crucial, not only for this disease but to avoid others can be deadly. In 2018, this virus killed 1 out of every 75 children infected, resulting in more than a hundred thousand deaths. High coverage To combat the disease is essential to achieve a coverage of more than 95 % in the vaccination of children, and provides herd immunity. Although Spain has achieved in the first dose, do not exceed this 95 % in the second according to the data of the Ministry of Health. The department that directs María Luisa Carcedo retrieves a set of recommendations for those born from 1970 to attend their health centre to be vaccinated whenever they have not passed the disease or do not already have this protection. From the Ministry they insist, however, that there is no urgency or hurry in to do so. Measles progresses in Europe: there are 12 endemic countries and re-emerges in other 4 There is a vaccine that has amply demonstrated its effectiveness, but the measles back to camp to relax in the european countries. The World Health Organization has spent years warning of what he considers as an emergency grade 2, but the numbers continue to rise in the so-called advanced countries, to the point that four States, Albania, Czech Republic, Greece and the United Kingdom, have recovered this disease, which had been removed. This is not the only bad news they got to know the responsible of the WHO in an appearance. If at the end of 2017 a total of 42 countries of the european region were free of measles -what you want to say that you have achieved the interruption of the ongoing transmission for at least three years - or in the way of doing so, they are now just 36. And the funny thing is that they are precisely the States which are less advanced or who have the worst health services that have turned this disease in endemic, but some such pointers as France or Germany. Countries with endemic measles in the european region of WHO includes 53 States - are Ukraine, Turkey, Serbia, Russia, Romania, Poland, Kyrgyzstan, Italy, Germany, Georgia, France and Bosnia-Herzegovina. In the first half of the year in Europe were recorded around 90,000 cases, more than in all of 2018, when it is reported 84.462. Measles is expanding through Europe and spreading across the world. In seven months there were 364.808 cases, three times more than in 2018, with less than 130,000.

Head Michelle Ginty wrote to parents telling them the Early Years music performance on April 4 and the Grandparents’ Lunch on Friday are postponed until after Easter.  She said the school had been asked to avoid community events or trips and visits where children could be mixing with pupils from other schools.  She wrote: “This is very disappointing for us and we realise it will be for many of you too. We hope you understand our situation.”  Parents were told about the first suspected case in a letter on March 29.  One said: “It’s worrying because measles is so infectious and can be harmful.  I’m going to check with my doctor that my child’s booster is up to date. I really hope that people who haven’t had their children vaccinated might reconsider now that it is out there in the school population.”  The four cases are among 12 reported in Brent this year, according to figures from PHE, of which three are confirmed.  Last year 13 children in the borough, out of 25 suspected cases, were confirmed infected - up from eight confirmed cases in 2017.  Dr Yimmy Chow, a consultant at PHE’s local Health Protection Team, said “it’s never too late” to catch up with vaccinations.  “Protecting your children with two doses of the MMR vaccine is the best way to ensure they are not at risk of catching measles, mumps or rubella,” he said, “and preventing their spread to more vulnerable groups, such as newborn babies, pregnant women and those with weakened immune systems.  “The first dose is given at one year of age, and the second at three years and four months, but you can get immunised at any time if you have missed out.  “Measles spreads very easily amongst anyone who has not had two doses of MMR, particularly children.

Greece is one of the countries with zero cases and vaccination coverage of 97% for 2015 in children 13-24 months of age, on the basis of the data. However, even today, worldwide, around 22 million infants are not vaccinated fully with the recommended vaccines, while over 1.5 million children under 5 years of age die from diseases which are preventable by vaccination, due to the <U+03B1><U+03BD><U+03C4><U+03B9><U+03B5>µß<U+03BF><U+03BB><U+03B9><U+03B1><U+03C3><U+03C4><U+03B9><U+03BA><U+03BF><U+03CD> movement. This movement appeared in the 1990s, when it published a study that linked the triple MMR vaccine (measles, mumps, smallpox) with autism. The research has proved to be a fraud, and the doctor who drew, Andrew Wakefield, lost his license in Britain. The Wakefield had published a survey of 12 children with anomalies of the gastrointestinal system, 9 of which are supposed to have experienced a “palindrome autism” within 14 days of vaccination with MMR. The Wakefield was hired by a lawyer named Richard Barr two years before the conduct of the research, taking as a fee an amount of 150 pounds at the time, to build a case against MMR, hoping to cash in from the massive lawsuits of parents of autistic children that will ensue On the other hand, the Wakefield wanted to promote his own measles vaccine as a competitor of the triple MMR.

Germany passed a law which obliges parents to declare the vaccines that children have done when they go to kindergarten, and has established a fine of 2,500 euros for those who do not vaccinate, while Italy has made it mandatory 12 vaccinations. The Italian government paid off the reduction in vaccination rates in the “dissemination of anti-scientific theories”, such as that of Wakefield. In Greece, according to the CDC, the central point of the strategy for prevention of measles is vaccination. The vaccine is released, containing live, attenuated measles virus that is grown in chick embryo cells. The vaccine is recommended to be done subcutaneously in two doses, at the age of 12-15 months and 4-6 years of age, and in every case it is better to be given in the form of <U+03C4><U+03C1><U+03B9><U+03B4><U+03CD><U+03BD><U+03B1>µ<U+03BF><U+03C5> (measles-mumps-rubella) or <U+03C4><U+03B5><U+03C4><U+03C1><U+03B1><U+03B4><U+03CD><U+03BD><U+03B1>µ<U+03BF><U+03C5> vaccine (measles-mumps-rubella-varicella). In our country marketed vaccines contain strains Edmonston (M-M-R VAX PRO) and Schwartz (PRIORIX and PRIORIX-TETRA). In areas where there are outbreaks, the vaccination of the child population should be made at the age of 12 months. Also, in the event of an outbreak of measles, the vaccination can be done at a younger age, but then need re-vaccination with the MMR at age 15 months.

In addition, the medical early warning systems are weak, and to keep the logistics a cold chain to maintain, very limited. To do this, armed conflict and displacement, paralyse the health system in some regions. Further financial and geographic barriers limit the access of patients to health care, or prevent it entirely.

In just a period of time in which the measles is the poster child in the list of the public discussions -- and, unfortunately, it's only a discussion, since he is a head of the head of the DSP for reasons of non-vaccination WHICH, when the effort should be to contain the spread of the disease, which may have had a little bit of it and it was wiped out in this country, so that in this period of time, it appears that the German authorities, to do what they do best, which is sit. DSP the German report, probably in Bucharest, there was a need, because if you change to a directory through the night. He forgot, however, to announce to the public. As you might have forgotten to announce the arrival of the vaccine in the county, if he hadn't been asked specifically. The way, is very good when it comes to convey the damage done to it, he stood up with the letter from the DSP to a file, without having to say a word. City hospital Novel, which has got to take care of a little boy, he didn't say anything about the suspicion of measles, which he had the doctor, who sent her ahead of him, he took the tests, which he passed on to Bucharest, romania. Although it has been a couple of weeks ago. The death of a child is only 5 months old, it seems, is not worthy of being made public if it occurs on the background of the ”explosion” of the measles. At least it doesn't seem to be in German. Those of you in Bucharest, I do understand the word ”communication”, and the status of ”public institution”. Unfortunately, the vaccine for the rudeness of the administrative't been invented yet. (D. O. a.) ALBUM: cause.en",493,"romania"

"661","A measles epidemic in Romania, against more than 90% herd immunity in Australia, the Authorities in Romania continue to campaign for measles vaccination of children from 9 months to 9 years after during the week, it was announced that the country was hit by the epidemic. From September there was 3 446 infected and 17 dead children. As the primary cause of the epidemic get a link sentiment against vaccines in recent years is increasingly growing among Romanian parents for fear to cause autism. At the same time New Zealand is proud of the fact that the level of vaccination in children. Almost 94% of them have standard vaccines, including those against measles, mumps and rubella. Immediately after it takes Australia with 93%, where the authorities are even considering Niacinamide children are unable to visit the centers child care and preparatory schools. Doctors and a large part of the population support such a measure. European centre for disease prevention and control of diseases (European Center for Disease Prevention and Control, sony ericsson) warned about the high probability of measles cases in Romania spread to other countries. Already known cases of exports to EU countries such as Hungary, Austria, Belgium, France and Germany. If the government has quarantined the entire hospital in the town of Makó, in the Southeast part of the country, violated the epidemic. It is assumed that the infection comes from neighboring Romania. Belgium has reported an increase in cases of measles infection and, probably, the infection moving from person visited Romania. The most serious is the situation in the Walloon region, which registered 70 cases since the beginning of the year, as usual, the level for the same period in previous years, there were 7-8 cases. From the Bulgarian Ministry of health has calmed down, that presently there is no threat of the spread of measles in our country and in regional medical audits to take preventive measures. Among them all the doctors to review imunization status of patients aged 13 months to 18 years be immunized against measles. On Neimoidians to be delivered one dose of the combined vaccine against measles, rubella and mumps (MCI). To build full immunity children need to be covered with two doses – the first is on 13 months old, and remanipulate done for 12 years. In each country where vaccinations fall below 80%, the threat of the epidemic, commenting to the GEESE of the chief state sanitary Dr. angel Kunchev.

And unlike 2010, when this pocket was among the receiving population, now it is the children from large cities with a young and clever mother, who, however, influenced antioxidante movement in the country. They refuse vaccinations, deferred entry of measles vaccine as putting in danger the lives of their children and others,“ - said the chief state sanitary.

Just last year, about 17% of Blanchette was not vesniani against polio, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis and Hemophilus it type B, show official data. At the same time New Zealand parents rarely see the effects of diseases such as measles, rubella or even worse. In addition, the almost complete herd immunity, with vaccinationist campaign of the government has reached even greater success - the fear of life and health of children among parents, decreased. (see illustration of how herd immunity) In Australia authorities ambizioni to raise the level of vaccinated children from 93% to 95 level needed to stop the spread of infectious diseases and to protect children who are too small to be insured or can't be vaccinated for medical reasons.

"3638","In the district of Görlitz, there is a further case of measles. According to information from the health office came for a three-year-old child who had no sufficient protection, already at 16. December of last year, the typical symptoms of the disease. The child had on 7. December in the area of the emergency outpatient clinic of the Municipal hospital, where the diseased was infected wait. The hospitalisation of the child was made on January 20. December. The health Department determined, then a total of 30 contact persons from the family environment and Görlitzer children's doctor's office to verify the necessary Vaccinations. Five contact persons had to be vaccinated at six, a diagnosis was made. The remaining contact persons were all protected by the two most common vaccinations. Already on 9. December 2018 was the inclusion of a 23-Year-old with markedly poor General condition in the Municipal hospital Görlitz. The Patient was on 3. December 2018 ill with flu-like symptoms. In the framework of the stationary recording was performed diagnostics, provided both a clinical as well as laboratory confirmation of measles disease. Pathogens and disease The measles viruses are transmitted from person to person by droplets when coughing, Sneezing or Talking. You are one of the most contagious diseases, informed Franziska Glaubitz from the Landratsamt Görlitz. Almost any contact of unprotected persons with a Diseased lead to infection. Already five days before the appearance of a typical skin rash of the Affected are not contagious. About ten to 12 days after a successful infection it is usually to flu-like symptoms such as high fever, eye redness and cough. In the buccal mucosa of small whitish spots occur. Two to three days later, the typical rash begins on the face and behind the ears and then spreads over the entire body. Since the measles weaken the immune system of humans, may cause additional pathogens, complications such as an ear infection or Bronchitis. In one to six percent of the measles cases, pneumonia can occur for the majority of measles-related deaths is responsible. In particular, in adolescents and adults, it can lead to brain inflammation of the skin. A causal therapy of measles disease, there is not. It is merely existing symptoms such as fever, fluid loss, etc., are treated. Vaccination is the only preventive measure. A live attenuated administered vaccine in the combination measles, Mumps, and rubella. Vaccinations check How many people are on the whole vaccinated in the district of Görlitz against measles, according to Glaubitz say, since there is no vaccination, and thus the vaccination details are also not covered. The experience of the health office show, however, that a relatively high proportion, in particular an adult, it must be assumed that either no or only one vaccination in their life. For this group of people, two dangers are developing: one is the measles, and on the other a possible visit and activity prohibitions for community facilities or sensitive occupational groups – even without symptoms – as soon as a contact to a Diseased has occurred. The health Department recommends to the citizens of the district vaccination certificates mente to check or to leave the house - or children's doctor to check and, in particular, lack of measles vaccination of catching up to do.

"3643","To get a shot for the measles, seems to be more important than I thought. A Team led by Michael Mina and Stephen Elledge of Harvard Medical School has discovered that our immune system forgets after a confrontation with the Virus much. Up to 73 percent of the antibodies that had not vaccinated children earlier in the blood, were lost to them through the measles. The vaccine that protects against measles, Mumps and rubella, caused no such loss of memory. The vaccination offers not only protection against these diseases, but also could prevent concomitant or subsequent infections by other pathogens, writes the research team in the journal ""Science"". For many years, Physicians have observed that the measles virus suppresses our immune system on the disease period, also. Previous studies of a team of Mina had shown that the disease and mortality risk of people Affected for up to five years after the infection is increased. To find out why people are ill with the measles, are more susceptible pathogen to other disease, the Team investigated the anti-body. These are the Antibodies that our immune cells in response to pathogens to produce, you already know. With the help of a specific detection method that allows to differentiate thousands of different antibodies, the Team of Mina, and Elledge, that the Repertoire of children in the average was around 33 to 40 percent smaller after they were ill with the measles. In 12 of the 77 children examined the anti-body range of products was seven weeks after the measles infection of more than 40, with an even 73 percent shrunk. The absolute amount of antibodies did not change, however – only their specificity. As a test group, children were selected at average age of nine years, from an area in the Netherlands, in which many trailer places of reformed churches. Many of these devout people, and don't vaccinate their children. In that faith the high-castles, which are also referred to as the ""Bible belt"", spread out in all the twelve years of the measles and infect each of around 2500 people. As such an outbreak was imminent, asked the research team to the parents for permission, and took in the space of ten weeks, blood samples of the children. The highly contagious viral infection is manifested mainly by fever and a typical skin rash. Often, however, brings complications, for example, a life-threatening inflammation of the brain, or infections caused by bacteria. Thus, 10 of the 43 children who were ill during the study, especially hard to the measles suffered, at the same time an ear infection is usually caused by bacteria. Against the bacterial pathogens Staphylococcus aureus, as well as the measles virus had affected children abgeklungener infection more antibodies than before. This shows that your immune system builds up again – it must come (again) in contact with the pathogens. Mina and Elledge suggest to vaccinate children who had the measles, when in doubt, again, against a typical children's diseases. Even more useful would be sure to vaccinate them against the measles. To not vaccinate ""children from ideological reasons against measles, is irresponsible,"" says Richard Neher, head of the research group on the Evolution of viruses and bacteria at the University of Basel. In ten EU-countries, the vaccination is already mandatory. The German Bundestag advises currently have such a law.",491,"germany"
"7691","The irony here is that the parents have for their children based on religious beliefs not to vaccinate. However, they had to work from the heart by giving your consent to the acquisition of the blood samples, and throat and neusswabs for a scientific research center. The findings of a new study have, however, strong ammunition to highlight the importance of vaccination, once again, to emphasize the fact. That's because measles is not a harmless childhood illness, confirmed Uk and Us researchers, to november 1, 2019 at the latest, once again, in two of the major peer-reviewed scientific journals. Also, these researchers did their studies using the samples from the ongevaccineerde children. Researcher Rik de Swart: ‘The orthodox protestant parents in support of our research from the heart’ is Grateful to Scientists, Rik de Swart, and By the doe, both of which are connected to the department of Viroscience of the Erasmus MC, was given in 2013 for the chance to get a blood draw to ongevaccineerde the children in the two Hills of the villages. That's what happened in the last mazelenepidemie in the Netherlands. “You may be thinking that a united protestant people didn't have much to do with the science. But it didn't work out. The parents have supported us in the research of the heart”, says Rik de Swart. “We were very grateful for that, because we were now in the blood of the mazelenpatiënten to examine what the virus does in the human cells during and after infection with the measles. Bloedsamples of these children is a unique treasure trove of information.” The damage of Last year, De Swart, and De Vries, Nature Communications, all of which center long-term damage caused to the immune system. A large part of this research has been carried out by Brigitta Laksono, as part of her phd research at the Erasmus MC. At the same time published an epidemiological study in which the researchers carried out in co-operation with the department of Medical Informatics of the Erasmus MC, has shown that children who have the measles will have had several years after the start of their illness, more infections are going through than children without a measles vaccine have had it. Those findings are delivered, at the time, from anywhere in the world, a lot of free publicity. To be unique, Now there are more in-depth studies carried out by the Uk's Sanger Institute, and Harvard University. They published their findings on november 1, 2019, respectively, Science, Immunology, and Science. “Because it's such an important studies, which also have similar results, it was decided that the two papers on the same day, to make it appear,” says The Journal, in both studies, co-wrote. “This is quite unique in the world of science.” British and American researchers have made use of the blood samples, that is, The de Vries and The Journal is in the reformed community are met. “These institutions are actually competitors of each other, used a variety of analytical techniques. However, the results lead to the same conclusion: the measles virus damages the cells in a specific part of the immune system that makes antibodies against other disease agents”, The Journal of. “This is a good example of how global collaboration in the science, to help you out.” One of the recent studies, Researchers at the Sanger Institute, in England, isolated, B-cells, which are part of the immune system in the blood. They have shown that when measles, mumps, and the population of so-called ‘memory B cells’, are made in response to a previously experienced infection had been damaged. Antibodies, Researchers from the University of Harvard in Boston, as compared to the antistofprofiel of the children in the Netherlands before and after the measles vaccine. This study showed that, after the measles, mumps, and a portion of the previously-generated antibodies, at concentrations likely to occur, or are completely gone. The researchers concluded that the measles virus in the long-lived plasma cells in the bone marrow has been affected, which was previously created antibodies to be slowly disappearing. The fact that B-cells and plasma cells due to the measles virus become infected, had to doe, and We have previously shown in a celkweekstudies, and laboratory animal research. Now, the published studies show that it is the same in the human cells, after the experience of the center. “This study provides new insights into the mechanism by which the measles for a longer period of time have an increased risk of infectious diseases can be caused. These insights highlight the importance of vaccination, says The Journal. Measles Measles is a highly contagious disease in the world each year, between 80,000 and 100,000 deaths are caused. In Europe, there are an increasing number of mazelengevallen seen, especially as more and more parents are confident in the safety and effectiveness of influenza vaccination loss. “What's this, an important part of it is that diseases such as measles and still less to be seen. The severity will be under-estimated. It is, therefore, important for the disease process to better understand it,” says the virologist is in order, Rik de Swart. During the mazelenepidemie of 2013, with approximately 2500 cases of measles have been reported. 94% of the patients had not been vaccinated. 84 per cent of the 2500 were not vaccinated because of religious reasons.

The fight against this virus is particularly contagious stagnates and the number of deaths is on the rise again in 2018, warning this week the world health Organization (WHO). Almost 10 million cases of measles have been identified in the world last year and 140,000 people, mostly children, have died. The virus, which can remain in a room two hours after the passage of an infected person, is especially common in developing countries, in particular in some regions of Africa and Asia. But since 2018, it has caused epidemics on five continents, exploding in cities or neighbourhoods where too few people are vaccinated. Five countries have concentrated half of the cases, The small islands of Samoa in the South Pacific are struggling at the moment against the epidemic and count their dead : 62 since October. Almost all were children under the age of four years. The authorities have cut off access to the archipelago and were operating Thursday a vaccination campaign door-to-door. Five countries have concentrated almost half of the cases in 2018 : the democratic Republic of the Congo, Liberia, Madagascar, Somalia, and Ukraine, according to a report published by the Centers for control and prevention of diseases (CDC). Recent surveillance data from the measles provided by the WHO (August 2019), world travelers have brought the virus to New York, But the virus can travel easily. Israel has seen the importation of one hundred cases from elsewhere, the Philippines and Ukraine... From there, a few travellers infected have transmitted the disease in the jewish districts of New York and contributed to the greatest epidemic in the United States since 1992. In wealthy countries, measles kills no or very little. But in the DRC, measles kills two times more than Ebola : 5.000 dead this year. In total, 142.000 people have died in the world in 2018. It is four times less than in 2000, but up 15 % from 2017. ""Everyone knows that there is a measles vaccine safe, effective, available everywhere in the past 50 years "", complained Kate O'brien, director of immunization at WHO, in a press conference. ""It really is a collective failure to see these epidemics."" Distrust of vaccines is A figure illustrates this failure : since 2010, the proportion of the world's population who received the first dose of vaccine (two recommended) stagnates at about 86 %. To prevent epidemics, the goal is 95 %. Europe is almost to the goal average, which has not prevented epidemics because it is sufficient that a community is under-vaccinated for the virus takes hold. In developed countries, the movement of distrust of vaccines has contributed to the resurgence of the disease. The United States have failed to lose this year, the status earned in 2000, to countries where measles has been officially eradicated (absence of continuous transmission for 12 months in a particular geographic area). But Great Britain, Greece, Albania or the Czech Republic have lost this status in August. The year 2019 saw a doubling in the number of measles cases in Europe.",489,"france"

"3641","The Federal government wants to decide the measles protection act. So that makes you, de facto, also the vaccination against other diseases on duty. Answers to the important questions. The Federal Minister of health, Jens Spahn (CDU) is, likewise, the CDU-Chairman, Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer and SPD Leader Andrea Nahles: The vaccination for measles is to come - since the Grand coalition is agreed. But what exactly is the Ministry of health is planning in his measles protection act? Who is affected by the vaccination? And what Impfverweigerer have to expect? The most important questions and answers: What children need to be vaccinated? Are affected all the children in the care of a community facility, a nursery, a Kindergarten, a primary school, a secondary school or a daycare. A child should be included there in the future, you need to prove to the parents that it has received both the first and the second measles vaccination. Also in all children, the visit is already such a community institution, the parents have until the 31. July 2020 to provide proof of adequate Vaccination is available. The proof is carried out either by the yellow immunization card or a medical certificate that immunity against measles exists. When are children vaccinated, usually against the measles? Infants may be vaccinated according to the health Ministry at the earliest at the age of nine months, as soon as your natural Vaccination wears off. The Stiko, the Standing Committee on vaccination recommends two vaccinations: The first should 11 between the. 23. Month of life the second four weeks later. This is to ensure that children are protected with two years. The parents want to leave your child in a daycare take care of, the Stiko recommends to start with the Vaccination at the age of nine months. Who must also still be vaccinated? The draft law also applies to all of the people who work there and in contact with children: for the educator and teacher, as well as for the janitors, the kitchen staff or the cleaning staff. Also, all of the employees of physician practices and clinics that have contact with patients, must be against the measles vaccination or an appropriate Vaccination to prove. How many people are affected? The Ministry of health expects that in the first year after the entry into force of the act in the sum of far more than 700, 000 people get vaccinated, which have hitherto had no sufficient protection. Children are affected as adults. The estimates of the Ministry indicate that 79 000 children to be vaccinated, to be included in a day-care centre or a Kindergarten. About 71 000 first-graders, are enrolled in school and, in addition, an outstanding number of children who go to a secondary school also. In addition, 361 000 children to be vaccinated now a day-care centre or a Kindergarten, against measles to practices, in addition 160 000 employees of schools and daycare centers, as well as 60, 000 employees of hospitals and doctor. There should be exemptions from compulsory vaccination? Yes, if an Allergy to the vaccine or someone is acutely ill. Who performs the vaccinations? The Ministry of health makes it clear in his bill that, in principle, all Doctors are entitled to vaccinations to make. Thus it is possible, ""to every doctor's visit by children, young people and adults use it to check the vaccination status and the lack of vaccinations as soon as possible to catch up"". What are the consequences of not threatening when you can vaccinate? A child is not vaccinated against measles, it can be from the visit to the nursery or Kindergarten is excluded. School children no exclusion threatens to, because that is contrary to the compulsory education talks. However, the health may impose a fine of up to 2500 euros. The head of schools, day-care centres or kindergartens, which include a non-vaccinated child, and the health Department does not, therefore, about the lack of measles vaccination, inform, must reckon with a fine of up to 2500 euros. You have to against diseases other than measles vaccination? Yes and no. Spahn has christened his project ""measles protection law"", the new Trend in Berlin, the following to provide laws with a simple catchy name, and giving the false impression that we are rich, let alone against this disease. However, the Federal Ministry of health acknowledges in its draft that there is a very practical Problem: The pharmaceutical manufacturers currently offer only combination vaccines, those vaccinated against three or four diseases at the same time: against measles, Mumps and rubella - or also against chicken pox. These Three - or four-fold vaccines have the advantage that - unlike before - not so often gepikst needs to be. But they do not lead to the government - as long as the manufacturer does not offer separate vaccines - makes, de facto, only a vaccination against measles to duty, but also against two to three other diseases. This needs to be taken ""in view of the expected benefits of the measles vaccination in buying"". Why are measles so dangerous? Measles are one of the most contagious diseases. The Virus is transmitted during coughing, Sneezing, and Talking. About 90 percent of all non-immune people who come in contact with a person Infected with a contagion. More than 95 percent of them develop symptoms. Typically fever first of all, conjunctivitis, coryza, cough, and whitish patches on the oral mucosa. About three to ten days after the onset of the disease occurs, the characteristic measles rash: brownish-pink spots that begin on the head and then over the body spread. Are feared of the complications, including inflammation of the middle ear, the lungs and the brain. Brain inflammation occurs in one in 1000 Patients and can be fatal or leave permanent damage. At about four to eleven per 100 000 Patients, there is a neurological late complication: The so-called subacute sclerosing Panencephalitis (SSPE) is a brain inflammation years after the infection can occur and results in death. Why to take the infections again? Responsible for the Impfskepsis, which has now reached such proportions that the WHO is announcing the beginning of the year as one of the ten greatest threats to global health in the first place. The Impfskepsis unfolds a dangerous dynamic. The result is The protective shield against infectious diseases, those achievement that owes the world billions Vaccinated, is permeable. In the case of measles, the protection is considered complete when at least 95 percent of the people are vaccinated. In many countries, this value is not reached. In Germany, just under 93 percent currently have received the necessary two doses of the vaccine.",488,"germany"

The institute has also detected high levels of Ddt and Pcbs, polychlorinated biphenyls, organo chlorinated compounds, used as insecticides and are still present in the Mediterranean Sea. The councillor of the tuscan environment Federica Fratoni has said that these products may have contributed to the spread of the disease. “For this I appeal to the Government so that at last Italy will accede to the Stockholm Convention of 2001, which bans persistent organic pollutants, he added, the commissioner - “ours is The only european Country to have not signed that covenant and the time has come”.",488,"italy"

""The drop in the vaccination coverage for the measles - he said Villani - is leading, as expected, to an increase in cases.

"62101","See also: The World Health Organization (WHO) and the European Commission (EC) has warned that the recent outbreak of measles, it is to meet babies', still not of age to be vaccinated, as well as adults who are not vaccinated. The two organisations also argue that vaccination is crucial for prevention, and the prevention of the disease in Europe, but that the benefits achieved so far should not be taken for granted. In a joint statement released on Monday evening due to a rising tide of scepticism in relation to polio, the WHO and the EC have highlighted the important role of vaccines in public health. The world health organization and the European Union remind us that this disease is ""highly contagious disease” that caused approximately 2.6 million deaths each year, prior to the 1980s, when it entered into force on immunizations across the board. Right now, the spread is “inevitable"". The text stresses that the recent measles outbreak is a hit baby, still not of age to be vaccinated, as well as adults who are not vaccinated. The document recognises that there are barriers preventing the full immunization, namely, the lack of confidence of the population in relation to vaccination. This problem represents a serious threat that cannot be ignored"". ""The myth of anti-vaccination, and the lack of knowledge can lead people to refuse to take the vaccine, which could open the door for the emergence of a new outbreaks of these diseases,"" says the note. ""The benefits of vaccines is a matter of a fact, and it is not a matter of opinion,” concluded the statement. “The member countries shall put an end to the rising tide of scepticism that threatens to reverse the advances made for the health of the public. To this end, the immunization programs need the commitment, and the community as a whole.” It was popularised in the framework of the European Week of Immunization.",487,"portugal"
"2152","While measles is targeted by a plan to eliminate the world health Organization (WHO), several european countries have reported outbreaks in the course of the year 2016 : Ireland, Great Britain, Germany, Italy, Austria, Romania, Poland and France. Given the persistence of the circulation of this viral infection is highly contagious and potentially serious, it is necessary that the immunization coverage is very high in the population : at least 95 % with 2 doses of the vaccine in children and young adults. Such a cover would eliminate the disease and its complications, and thus indirectly protect the more fragile persons. ""We are stepping up the rules"" After Italy, it is the turn of Germany to vote for a project in favour of compulsory vaccination against measles. After, this act, which will be submitted to the vote of the 1st of June, for parents who refuse to follow the advice of immunization for their child. She recommends asking child care providers to prevent health authorities if this is the case. With a fine of up to eur 2 500 as punishment. This project is supported by the German minister of Health, Hermann Groehe. ""That people still die of measles, can not leave anyone indifferent. Therefore, we are stepping now the rules relating to the vaccination "", he explains to the newspaper. The latter specifies that nothing in the beginning of last week, a woman died of the disease at Essen, one of the largest cities in Germany. At the same time, in Italy, vaccination against measles will soon be compulsory for children who have to go to a creche or kindergarten. Up to 6 years old, it will be impossible for the parents to sign if their child is not vaccinated, and after 6 years, parents who have not followed this rule will also be subject to a fine. Decisions motivated by the fact that measles can be responsible for severe complications : in France, two cases of encephalitis and seven diseases are to be deplored since the beginning of the year 2017,",486,"france"
"19212","During the last few weeks, both the World Health Organization, as the Center for Disease Control of the European Union have warned about the increase in the number of cases of measles in the whole of Europe and, last Tuesday, the Commissioner of Health and EU Food Safety, Vytenis Andriukaitis, described the situation as unacceptable, ""especially taking into account that there is an effective vaccine against the disease since the sixties"". Although the largest outbreaks have occurred in countries that have significant pockets of social exclusion and there is not adequate access to vaccines, in other countries with higher purchasing power, such as France or Italy, the decline has been associated primarily to a loss of confidence with regard to vaccines. We talked about the importance of this type of intervention and the mistrust that has been generated around them in the last few years with Rachel Ram, co-author -together with the pharmacist, Luis Marcos and the artist Inigo Ansola - from the book Vaccinating with Two centuries and adding! (Ediciones Universidad de Salamanca, 2019). Ram works for a consulting firm for the pharmaceutical industry and is the partner of the NGO development cooperation Farmacéuticos Mundi (Farmamundi), dedicated to the promotion of health and the pharmaceutical assistance in least developed countries. What do you think the situation now in Europe with the measles? The spread of this disease has been an effect of the fall of vaccination rates. It has lost the herd effect, so that those populations that cannot be vaccinated, such as children under one year of age, you may not receive the majority of these vaccines, they end up exposed to the virus. In the end, many pediatricians have had to re-learn how to identify a measles. Why do you think that should be the problem? In industrialized countries, where there is a lack of access widespread, it is by a loss of confidence. On one side it has reduced the perception of risk, because they are diseases that have been virtually eradicated. No one remembers because of the aftermath left by the polio and almost no one has had the misfortune to see die a baby from measles, with which it has lowered the guard. On the other hand, is the current antivacunas, which is another part of the problem. Do not be given too much importance to the antivacunas? In countries such as Spain antivacunas are a movement residual, but there are others such as Italy or France which have become more widespread and the coverage of the mmr, which covers measles, rubella and mumps, it has dropped a lot. Even so, there is another term that is currently used in place of antivacunas, that is vaccine hesitancy, which refers generically to the questions that can arise at the time of vaccination. The WHO has just published the top 10 global threats and health concerns or the refusal to be immunized is one of them. What factors have influenced the loss of confidence? Doubts about vaccines is spread by many reasons, for example, the lack of unification of the vaccine calendars generates distrust, because the population is not clear why in some places they recommend some vaccines and not others. Fortunately, in Spain, since January, we already have a calendar only common, what serve to have a clearer picture of what it is that is recommended. There are also the doubts raised about its safety or effectiveness, or the messages of the current anti-globalization, which they blame large corporations for the price of vaccines or shortages. Many of them have not been well resolved, which has finished generating distrust. Is that the goal of the book, respond to the doubts of the population? The book tries to address the question of why there are so many doubts if we will take two centuries to vaccinate. It is true that in the beginning there were many doubts, because it was a society that was not prepared to understand this type of health intervention, but doubts exist to this day, more than 200 years later, makes much less sense. What we want is to send a message scientifically rigorous, but that can reach out to the world in a simple way, so that everyone can have those answers. Until now may not have had easy answers to their questions in a simple way and that is why many parents have ended up turning to the internet and social networks, where you can find everything. Why the project also has a presence on social networks? You can't fight the hoaxes and myths if we do not enter into the place where you generate and where you promote. We have to find different ways to reach the goal and not stay only in the institutional message of ""get vaccinated"". One of the myths most frequent is to consider that it is better for children to be inmunicen passing the disease what would you think? The problem is that you are not taking into account the possible consequences. Do not forget that measles can also cause deafness or meningitis, which can leave serious neurological sequelae. Although the child does not arrive to die, you are exposing yourself to too high a risk. I don't think any mother, with all this information, was willing to assume this risk. Do you think that the failures of some of the vaccines that are modern, such as dengue, may justify the fears of part of the population? Vaccines for tropical diseases or neglected diseases are relatively recent and many of them are experimental. It is not the same to talk of a vaccine candidate for ebola, that are used in Europe in a systematic way for more than 30 years and whose safety and efficacy is beyond any doubt. We have to take into account that it is now manage millions and millions of doses of the triple viral, with which we have more than enough information on that vaccine. In addition, we have a system of pharmacovigilance which lists all the possible adverse effects that may occur. Do you think we should change the law to make vaccination mandatory? I don't think that is the best way. In a mature society like the one we have in Spain, what there is to offer is more information accessible and clear, and not to think make it compulsory vaccination. In addition, in Spain we have a vaccination program very complete, which is the best in the world, and a vaccination rate high so that introducing the mandatory likely to generate a rejection even greater. The book also devotes a chapter to women in the history of vaccines, why? Yes, we wanted to give visibility to the women who have contributed to the development of vaccines because they have not always received the recognition they deserved, because they have been in the shadow of other researchers, or because they have worked in times where women had no visibility. Many of the places mentioned are american, but there is a Spanish that has been recognized by the WHO as the first nurse in the history in international mission. Isabel Zendal participated, along with the military doctor Xavier Balmis, in an expedition that traveled through Latin america to expand the smallpox vaccine. The mission is considered a milestone at the international level and it is something that we should feel proud.",485,"spain"

"5128","The Workers’ Party has today (Tuesday) called for the introduction of a requirement that all children who use shared childcare and education schemes, including créches, play facilities, and schools, be required to produce evidence of MMR vaccination.  The call comes in the wake of the latest measles outbreak in Ireland, with several cases presenting in Dublin hospitals over the past days.  Responding to the news, Cllr. Éilis Ryan of the Workers’ Party said:  “Measles is not a minor disease. An outbreak in 2000 in Ireland led to three deaths – and the outbreak was directly linked to a downturn in vaccination rates because of quack anti-vaccination propoganda – later disproven entirely – from Andrew Wakefield.  “As a result of that downturn, Ireland has a high proportion of unvaccinated teenagers and young adults – around 15% according to the HSE. This means our herd immunity is extremely weak, exposing people who cannot be vaccinated due to illness, and babies not yet vaccinated.”  Cllr. Ryan continued:  “The rate of young children being vaccinated against Measles, Mumps and Rubella, has hovered at about 92% for some time. An immunisation rate of below 95% is not sufficient to provide safety to that minority of people who – because of age or illness – cannot be vaccinated. We need to work towards achieving this.”  The Workers’ Party councillor concluded:  “For a vaccination as long standing and well-established as MMR, it is sensible that any child wishing to attend an educational institution with other children should have to be vaccinated.  “In a democratic society, individual choice is always limited in cases where our choices have negative repercussions for others – particularly for the vulnerable. Vaccination is exactly such a case, and this is why it is already mandatory in many other western democracies.”",480,"ireland"

Madrid Updated: 28/05/2019 21:02h Save Send news by email Your name * Your email * Your email * From 1 January 2016 to 31 march 2019, Europe has witnessed a major epidemic of measles, with 44.074 cases reported by 30 member States. In comparison with the previous three years ( 2012-2015), which represents a significant increase, according to a report published by the European Centre for Control and Prevention of Diseases (ECDC). In 2010 and 2011, many were the countries affected by large outbreaks in 2010 and 2011: (22.162 cases), France (19.985), Italy (8.161), Romania (4.352) and Spain (3.816). And although between 2012 and 2016 the number of reported cases decreased significantly, there was a four-fold increase in cases in 2017 (18.363) and 2018 (17.228), compared to 2016 (4.642).

""According to the goals set by the World Health Organization, the measles should have been eliminated in the european region for the year 2000. However, Europe is still far from achieving this. These figures are simply unacceptable, especially given that there is an effective vaccine against the disease since the 1960s,"" says Vytenis Andriukaitis, Commissioner for Health and Food Safety of the European Union (EU). To Andrea Ammon, Head of ECDC, ""measles remains a threat to health across the EU. Due to the failure in achieving the objectives of vaccination of current global, 4.5 million children and adolescents in Europe are under 20 years of age are at unnecessarily risk of becoming infected by the virus measles. Measles elimination can only be achieved through an active commitment, relentless and simultaneous in all countries"". These figures are simply unacceptable, especially given that there is an effective vaccine against the disease since the 1960s And the problem that, in tenos of this assessment of epidemiological of the ECDC, there is a high risk of continued widespread circulation of measles in Europe in a near future, provided that they continue to exist a vaccination coverage and suboptimal. According to the report, among the main factors that drive this risk is, in the first place a ""historical"" low vaccination coverage, especially among children and adolescents born after 1999. According to the ECDC, this group represents almost a birth cohort annually in Europe of more than four and a half million children. Experts emphasize that you need a vaccination coverage of 95%, to eliminate the disease in Addition, the number of countries that have achieved the goal of the WHO of a vaccination coverage of 95% for two doses of the measles vaccine has significantly decreased. In 2017, only four countries met the target compared with 14 in 2007. Experts emphasize that you need a vaccination coverage of 95%, to eliminate the disease. The document also points to another worrying piece of data referred to the high burden of measles among infants and adults. The average age of cases has increased progressively in the last ten years, with an average age of 10 years in 2009 to 17 in 2019. In addition, almost half (45%) of all deaths from measles were recorded in infants. Almost half (45%) of all deaths from measles were reported in babies Also warns about the potential of imports, which can worsen the outbreaks of existing or to start new communities where measles is not currently circulating, and where there remain gaps in immunity. Between 2016-2019, almost half (43%) of imported cases in countries of the european continent have acquired their infection in another European country, primarily in those countries where measles is endemic and/or are experiencing large outbreaks. Finally, the report identifies a number of options to address the problem. The most important intervention is to ensure a program of immunization of high quality, that it will reach a vaccination coverage of 95% at the national level. The U.S., the highest figure in 25 years The us authorities have detected the last week 60 new cases of measles, bringing the total number to 940 so far this year, the highest figure for 25 years, according to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the federal agency in charge of disease control. So far, there have been cases of measles in 26 states and the disease is manifesting a form that is highly infectious and sometimes even fatal. The current outbreak represents an increase in the radical with respect to 2018. The authorities have reported that some of these cases are in individuals from abroad, in most of the cases of Ukraine, Israel and the Philippines, but the disease has spread rapidly among other segments of the population, primarily children have not been vaccinated. Geographically, the majority of the cases are concentrated in New York, the most among children from the orthodox jewish community of Brooklyn, which makes us fear a rise of anti-semitism. The number of families that refuses to vaccinate their children by not trusting the scientific value and the prevention of the vaccines seems to be the main cause of the greater impact of this type of disease. The own president of the united states, Donald Trump, has called on citizens to get vaccinated against measles despite the fact that the magnate is echoed above the false theories that link vaccines with autism.

Complication of measles Measles in and of itself is not a dangerous disease, but its complications are, and some of them are even fatal. Complications from measles are particularly hazardous for children below the age of 5 years old, and for adults for more than 30 years of age. Ear infections, Infections of the ear occur frequently in patients who are suffering from measles, is one of the most common complications of this infectious disease. In severe cases, these infections can lead to loss of hearing. Bronchitis, laryngitis or pneumonia, Measles can cause inflammation of the vocal cords or the respiratory tract, causing often the laryngitis or bronchitis. At the same time, and the kidneys are unaware of the danger of measles, pneumonia is another complication of it. In the case of a weakened immune system, such as that of a baby or the elderly, pneumonia can become fatal. Encephalitis, On average, 1 patient with measles, out of a thousand will develop encephalitis. This can happen even with the chicken pox, but it can happen, and it was only after a couple of months ago.

Chicken pox in children versus adults, For young children (under 5 years of age) and adults for more than 20 years, measles is more dangerous than it is for older kids and teens. This is because the risk of severe complications is still high among these two groups. Measles in pregnant women chicken pox in pregnant women comes with a number of risks, and there is a very dangerous situation for this group of people.

In the case of those who belong to the categories with increased risk, however, the treatment is necessary in order to reduce the risk. Immunization, post exposure to the virus in Order to protect the patient who is not immunized and has been exposed to the virus that causes chicken pox, a doctor may recommend vaccination for post-exposure. The vaccine may also be administered in the first 72 hours of exposure to the virus, so the disease could be prevented to happen, right? If the disease still occurs, you will be in a much more mild, and will resolve little. The drugs used in the treatment of measles in the Administration of globulin, immune serum (immune globulin) may also prevent the onset of measles or to ensure the appearance of the forms is very soft and sweet. They are administered in the form of a shot, only for the categories of increased risk in the first 6 days after exposure to the virus. Other medications that can be used to relieve the symptoms of measles or for treatment of the complications of this disease are: • Medication anti-pyretic (for fever) • Antibiotics (to treat bacterial infections occurring on the background of the measles – for example, pneumonia, or infections of the middle ear) • Vitamin A (to reduce the severity of symptoms).

If the symptoms of the measles are getting worse or new ones appear, it is also necessary for the medical care of an emergency. Prevention of chicken pox chicken pox is a disease that can be prevented, and it is a good thing, especially for people who are in groups at increased risk of complications – children younger than 5 years of age, adults, or pregnant women. If you have a date on the measles, your immune system has antibodies that can protect them, what it means is that you can't do it again, this disease is throughout the course of my life, in spite of the exposure to the virus. The immunisation, by vaccine, measles Immunization through vaccination against the measles is the most effective way of preventing this disease. In general, children are vaccinated at around the age of 1 year, and 4-to-6 years of age. Adults who have not been immunized, they can't make the vaccine any time. Vaccination against measles is not recommended to patients who are suffering from the problems of the immune system, and pregnant women. The decision of whether or not the vaccine against measles in a child is a personal decision that can be taken only after consulting a doctor. The MMR vaccine does not help the patient, only the rojeola, but also by the measles and the mumps. The limitation of the contact with patients with measles, By limiting the contact with a patient suffering from the chicken pox, you can reduce your risk of cancer, but not all of it. This is because the patient with measles is contagious several days before the start of the symptoms of the disease, i.e. before they know they have it. Because measles is a highly contagious disease, a patient with measles, they will be isolated in the home for a period of at least 4 to 5 days after appearance of the rash to the skin, so as to not transmit the virus to those with whom they come in contact with. The prognosis of the patients with measles (German measles) chicken pox has a slower rate of death among healthy children, and healthy adults, and the majority of the patients who get the measles recover completely. The risks of certain complications to occur they are, however, in the case of the following groups of people: children under 5 years of age, adults as over 20 years of age, in pregnant women, in people who have weakened immune systems, the people malnourished, and people with deficiency of vitamin A. research indicates that about 30% of the patients with measles are experiencing one or more complications. Therefore, measles may lead to serious complications, putting patients ' lives at risk, as well as pneumonia and encephalitis (inflammation of the brain). You can't do the chicken pox several times.

"2158","Last year, the number of measles cases reported has increased more than 30 % in the world. At least that is what suggests a new report from the world Health Organization (WHO). The immunization efforts will need to be sustained and reproduced in order to avoid new epidemics. Measles is not a benign disease, but the world seems to think. If it is actually easily preventable with just two doses of the vaccine, we need a coverage of about 95 % to stop the epidemic. And this is where the shoe pinches. During the past ten years, immunization coverage has never exceeded 85 % in the world. Result : the number of measles cases reported has increased more than 30 % in the world, reveals a new report from the world Health Organization (WHO). ""We risk losing decades of progress """"Without urgent efforts to increase the vaccine coverage and identify the populations with unacceptable levels of children under-vaccinated or non-vaccinated, we risk losing decades of progress in protecting children and communities from this devastating disease, but completely preventable,"" says Soumya Swaminathan, vice-president of the WHO. Prior to 1963, that is to say, before the first vaccine against measles – an epidemic caused every year, over 2.6 million deaths. Years of information campaigns and immunization have helped to save more than 21 million lives since the beginning of the century. But despite these advances, it seems that the efforts are not enough supported. The main cause ? The campaigns of anti-vaccines. In 2017, 20.8 million infants worldwide had not received the first measles vaccine, says the report. ""The reappearance of measles is a source of serious concern, with epidemics spread in all regions and in particular in the countries that have reached, or were on the verge of eliminating measles,"" says Soumya Swaminathan. Complacency and misinformation ""complacency about the disease and spread lies about the vaccine in Europe, the collapse of the health system in Venezuela and pockets of fragility and the low immunization coverage in Africa combine to produce a global resurgence of measles after years of progress,"" says of his side, Seth Berkley, CEO of Gavi, Vaccine Alliance. The researchers therefore insist on the resumption of vaccination efforts, striving for more, for example, against the misinformation online. And to do this, it is necessary to continue to inform. But it may be that we need to better inform. ""Existing strategies need to change. It must redouble efforts to increase routine immunization coverage and strengthen health systems, "" says Berkley.

"3648","Measles are often seen as a harmless disease, the should have made the kids ""by"". How wrong - and dangerous - this assumption is, show two studies published in the professional Science ""and"" Science Immunology ""leaves"". The Work demonstrates the influence of measles on the immune system is: A measles-disease destroyed many, in the course of life formed antibodies. The body can no longer fight off certain pathogens and must be post-infections again. Parts of the immune memory will be wiped out by the disease to a certain extent - the immune system, unfortunately, under a sort of ""amnesia"". For some time, it is known that measles virus weaken the immune system. The two groups of researchers have now studied the mechanism of this ""immune amnesia"" is based. In the centre of the studies, blood samples were available from 77 unvaccinated children. A team of researchers from Boston analyzed the antibody Repertoire in the samples - both before and after a measles infection. A British team of researchers was devoted to the surface receptors of B-cells. B-cells are a type of leukocyte, white blood cells called. They play an important role in the human immune system to form antibodies. Both of these teams of experts come to the same conclusion: A measles infection reduces the diversity of the antibody against various pathogens dramatically. Immune system for months or years weakened ""Superficially, our immune system is recovering after a measles infection after a few weeks"", says Klaus Überla, Director of the Virology Institute at the University hospital of Erlangen, who was not involved in the study. ""The new studies now indicate that the injury suffered months of stop up to years and lead to a generally increased risk of infection could. This explains why children who have measles by means of, for up to five years, a higher incidence and risk of death."" After a measles infection the totality of the immune cells recover quickly, says Johannes Trück, head of the research group in immunology at the University children's hospital Zurich. The composition was changed. ""Parts of the former by vaccination, or by making the diseases stronger immune memory have been wiped out and must be rebuilt."" The findings show the importance of a consistent Maserimpfschutz was so Trück. Such a protection does not prevent only direct, by the measles virus complications solved, but also the consequences of indirectly caused immune weakness. The vaccination is carried out with live, weakened measles virus. A immune weakness was not to be expected due to the vaccine itself but to the expert is more. ""There is neither epidemiological nor immunological evidence that measles vaccine affected the immune system."" Experts advise to measles vaccination is Also emphasized by Richard Neher, leader of the research group in viruses and bacteria at the University of Basel, as important, the immunity is: ""This Work is to underline once more, that measles is a dangerous disease that weakens even in the case of an uncomplicated course of the immune system over the years. The vaccination is safe and effective. To not vaccinate children for ideological reasons against measles is irresponsible."" Measles caused by measles virus, which are transmitted, for example, by coughing, Sneezing or Talking. Measles are considered highly contagious. The symptoms include high fever, reddened eyes and cough first. On the mucous membranes of small whitish spots, called ""Koplik's spots"" form. Shortly thereafter, the typical skin rash on the face that spreads over the whole body follows. Measles can lead to secondary infections, such as Bronchitis or pneumonia. Dreaded complications of measles an inflammation of the brain or the so-called SSPE (subacute sclerosing Panencephalitis) are. It occurs in the Mediterranean seven years after the disease. In the case of the SSPE to be progressively cells of the brain's nerves is destroyed. Four to eleven of 100,000 measles cases suffer from it. ""A measles infection is so different than often supposed-not a 'harmless childhood disease',"" writes the Federal Ministry of health. ""The best protection against measles is vaccination offer.

"5747","Measles is an infectious disease esantematica caused by a virus of the genus Morbillivirus (family of Paramixovidae). It is highly contagious, it often strikes children between 1 and 4 years, for this reason, it is called “infant” as chickenpox, rubella, whooping cough, and mumps. Measles is an infection that manifests itself only in man and in Countries with a temperate climate, striking towards the end of the winter and spring. What is measles and what its characteristics are The measles virus, seen under the microscope, The disease has spread all over the world. It is one of the most frequent eruptive fevers, although it is much less common when it is in use vaccination. In Italy in the last year are recorded 1,387 million cases of measles. Of 6.186 cases registered in the whole european region, the italians represent over 22% of the total. However, there are data to confirm that the encephalitis from the measles is a very real risk and very real (a case out of a thousand), while the vaccine is a risk only hypothetical, never verified, and which would in the worst case less than a case on a million. For what concerns the vaccine quadrivalente, and risk for autism has never been found no link. All this scaremongering, in Italy, as in other european countries, the threshold of the vaccination is lower than 95% is considered necessary to stop the circulation of the virus. I think that we can not remain indifferent to the data published by the Who about the incidence of measles in the world in 2017, which show that our Country is the fifth for the number of cases clinically confirmed: according to the counts 4575 cases reported since the beginning of the year, of which 4 died. Worse than us only India, Nigeria, Pakistan, and China, and consider that Italy has a population much smaller than these Countries. The median age at diagnosis in our country is 27-years-old, but the higher incidence occurred in children under one year of age, and only in 2017 will count 300 cases of measles among healthcare workers. These data demonstrate that in Italy we are facing a problem, compared to the rest of the european Countries. They get sick so the less of us, and the reason is simple: because you vaccinate more. It is not a coincidence, therefore, that Europe is alarmed by the situation in italy, which although not an epidemic, it is, however, in a context in which the measles is defined as an endemic, that is, constantly present. Italy belongs to the group of Countries where measles continues to hit with some especially virulent, as was the case in 2017. From 1 January to 28 February 2018, 16 Regions have reported to the ”national surveillance System” 411 cases of measles, including 2 deaths. More than 80% of the cases was reported from 4 Regions (Sicily, Latium, Calabria and Tuscany). Sicily reported the highest incidence. The median age was 25 years. About 91% of the cases was not vaccinated, and 4.5% had received only one dose. 43% have developed at least one complication, while more than 60% of the cases was hospitalized. Died of measles two persons, not vaccinated, respectively, of 38 and 41 years, both for respiratory failure. Have numbers as high as those in italy, it is surely the result of a fear that is unreasonable, that feeds off of false data, especially in the network. The vaccine for measles is safe and effective.

The Confederation of national associations of local authorities referred to the local relevance of the amendment. The Association said it was a significant effort, not calculated costs and possible conflicts with stakeholders, such as the impfunwilligen parents or employees of community facilities. The fear is that the burden of controls and the consequences of the introduction of vaccination by the public health service are shoulders, said the local government Association. In addition, the design is aimed only against measles, although a combination will be vaccinated in preparation. This is tantamount, in fact, an extended vaccination against rubella and Mumps. In the hearing, it was said, in the meantime, there is abroad a market for illegal German vaccination certificates. The Association of the Doctors of the Public health service (BVÖGD) called ""accompanying measures"" in order to achieve the objectives of the reform. It is a more expenses and additional staff needs in the health authorities will occur. The medical Association for a better Impfmanagement, the introduction of an electronic Impfausweises, the possibility of settlement of Impfleistungen regardless of the subject, and a reinforced vaccination advice. The accompanying arrangements also demanded the Federal Association of voluntary welfare. Vaccination dates were often forgotten, therefore, reminder systems, the health offices makes sense, a digital certificate of vaccination or entries in the vaccination records, when the next immunization is due. The draft leaves open how employees deal with, who were not vaccinated. The Association of child and youth doctors (BVKJ), said that vaccinations against chicken pox and HPV are just as important as that against measles, and the flu. The key to success lies in the introduction of a impfinfo information system (IIS), which enables a direct approach to the citizens. The Federal chamber of physicians (BÄK) turned against the possibility of vaccinations by a pharmacist make. Vaccinated should be under medical supervision. In rare cases, it could lead to complications that made a medical emergency care required. A medical training is not sufficient, other people enable groups to take ownership of a Vaccination. According to the lawyers, Nils Schaks the Reform is constitutional. Although the vaccination is a violation of fundamental rights, the justified objectively and proportionate shortfall, he said in the hearing. The legislators have a creative leeway. The new rule was justified because, with the vaccination of vulnerable groups of persons could be effectively protected.",468,"germany"

The most important information about the course and vaccination-an Overview: infection: measles, according to the Foundation for children's health one of the most contagious infectious diseases. Who has the measles, is infectious to other people without Vaccination or immunity most likely, from a few meters distance. Unprotected adults get the measles as well as children. Course: Los it goes without the typical skin rash, but rather with a cold and irritating cough, swollen eyes and neck pain as well as elevated temperature. After two to three days, white spots on the oral mucosa show gray skin. A few days later, the rash comes only with small and light red dots, which run together to form larger spots. Complications: In children with measles often go with the lungs and the middle ear accompanied by inflammation. Especially dangerous complications of measles encephalitis, which can lead to permanent brain damage or even death, and the extremely rare subacute sclerosing Panencephalitis (SSPE) are. The SSPE usually occurs years after measles, and always leads to death. A cure there is not. Vaccination: Who had the measles once, protected all of his life in front of it. Protection provides otherwise, only the vaccination. The first dose of vaccine should children of 11 to 14 months, the second with 15 to 23 – the recommendation of the Standing Committee on vaccination (Stiko).

"5794","Today, on a beautiful sunny day with a lot of people for the new roads, the minister of Health, Giulia Grillo is back in the Classroom to answer at Question Time in the Senate. And returned to tell a series of canned answers that tease the community on the topic. The new supercazzola Giulia Grillo on immunosuppressed measles, we Take the theme of the immunosuppressed, already the subject of an appeal to Salvini and Maio remained mostly unheard. What is the problem? The problem is that the immunosuppressed can attend the kindergarten and the school only if the other companions are vaccinated because otherwise they might contract the disease the most common, but with implications which are the worst. Of course, the obligation to help the children of the nursery because the comrades who are not vaccinated can not attend, provided that self-declarations are true...). To school instead, there is a penalty, but not expulsion. And what supports the Cricket? “For children, and immunosuppressed it is wrong to focus only on the obligation. Who does it, he does it in a way instrumental. At the moment, for school-age children continues the provisions of the decree Lorenzin. And anyway, the vaccinations of their classmates, are not enough to protect children immunosuppressed,” he said. “Their protection"", he added, requires custom designs that take into account all the risks”. Now, it is obvious even to a blind man that the only way to allow the children immunosuppressed to attend the school or asylum of security is that others are vaccinated. Vaccination of classmates is not enough, of course, because the children could catch diseases in other ways or in other places that they frequent. But here we are talking about the school, or of the place where the children are under the responsibility of the State: it is therefore perfectly logical that a State that respects in the meantime, avoid in all the ways that a child may suffer when it is in its structures, and then, if anything, tries to protect him even outside the school. But the primary duty is to clear and well-defined: the Cricket, with the cleverness typical of the fox that ends up in the fur industry claims that vaccination is not sufficient, but does not say what you would expect from a minister and a doctor. That is not enough but it is something, and something is better than nothing. Measles by the numbers Then there is the question of measles. “The obligation, however, must still take account of the epidemiological situation in a given territorial context or in a certain community, or in relation to categories of individuals. Force vaccinations may be necessary, therefore, but it is not sufficient for the purposes of prevention. This is demonstrated by the epidemic of measles in the course of our Country: the increased coverage that the obligation he has produced in the generations of the new born has not stopped the spread of the disease”, said the minister. But what she says make sense? In the monthly bulletin that the national Institute of Health published in July 2018 it will explain some things that maybe Cricket should take into account. Of 2.029 cases of measles reported in the first six months of 2018, 91.3% was not vaccinated at the time of the infection, while 5.4% had carried out a single dose (which by itself is not a guarantee of complete immunization). The increase of coverage has not stopped the spread because the years in which the obligation was not there or was not complied with and have resulted in a large number of non-vaccinated, as it is precisely those who are most affected by the disease. The table above then shows how in the age range 0-4, which is the one that is affected by the obligation of the law Lorenzin, the incidence of cases is greater. That is to say that while there are a number of the percentages of lower of children of school age who become ill in relation to the age group, the number of cases is higher. For example, there were 393 cases of measles in children under the age of 5 years and 125 cases of measles in children under one year of age (i.e. children who were still too young to be vaccinated). What does this all mean? First of all, that the increase of coverage, that also is registered with the approval of the Lorenzin, not in and of itself is not enough to stop the spread of the disease so there is no reason to say that, given that for a cohort of vaccination have achieved acceptable results, you may suspend the obligation. And this does not mean that the obligation itself is not enough but there are plenty of teenagers who are not vaccinated because when they were children, the obligation of the intelligent (the anti measles was between vaccinations “recommended”) had not been enforced. What will happen in the future, if he continues to say that “the obligation is not enough,” is that unvaccinated children of today will be the teenagers have not been vaccinated tomorrow. And the measles will not be eradicated.",463,"italy"
"67100","In the space of just one year, we have recorded a more than 320-thousand cases of the measles in 14 countries around the world, including April 2018 and march 2019 at the latest. The choice of non-vaccination is causing a real crisis at the global level. The countries that are close to eliminating polio are now reporting large outbreaks. Between the years 2016 and 2017, in the case of measles, they went up to 30% of the entire world, according to the figures given by the BBC. In the most affected countries were Madagascar (84 thousand cases), and Ukraine (78 million) and Pakistan (22 thousand euros). But among the 14 countries that are most affected at a global level there is a european country, France, where they were registered, more than two thousand cases. To the discredit of vaccination, it means that the world is taking a step backward in the fight against the deadly diseases, warn experts at the ‘BBC’. One of the largest global research in the field of health, pointed out that the confidence in vaccines is at its lowest level in some areas. It collected more than 14 thousand views in 140 countries around the world, with 79 percent think that vaccines are safe, while 7% disagree with the opinion of the first. When asked if they wanted to live, with 84% of the respondents agree that they will protect you, while 5% did not share the same opinion. It is scientifically proved that vaccination is the best defense against deadly diseases and infections, debilitating, such as measles. In fact, the study shall ensure that the vaccination has already eradicated diseases such as smallpox, and are close to eradicating polio, or polio. However, due to the lack of credit for which the vaccine is to be the all around the world, measles is coming back. Fear and ignorance have been identified as the main reasons for parents not to vaccinate their children. “The vaccination is hesitant, have the potential, at least in some places, to actually stop the progress the world has made in the control of vaccine-preventable diseases,” said dr. Ann Lindstrand. “Any revival which we see in these diseases is a first step as unacceptable to the rear,” he said. In the case of polio, which has reappeared, with the data showing an increase of 30% in the year 2017 than in 2016.

Many of the celebrities in north america are in support of a draft law that seeks to abolish the requirement of the good life.

For the first time since records began in 2012, four countries - Albania, Czech Republic, Greece and the United Kingdom - lost their status as having eliminated measles from the population.  As of the end of 2018, 35 countries had achieved or sustained measles elimination, the European Regional Verification Commission for Measles and Rubella Elimination (RVC) said.  The UK was added to the list in 2017 by the World Health Organisation (WHO).  The independent panel of experts, established by WHO, met in June in Warsaw, Poland, to evaluate reports from 53 countries.  Europe has seen a surge in cases since 2018, with around 90,000 cases reported for the first half of 2019 - already more than that recorded in the whole of the previous year (84,462).  It comes as WHO said misinformation about vaccines, particularly that shared on social media, is as contagious and dangerous as the diseases it helps to spread.  Dr Gunter Pfaff, chair of the RVC, said: ""Re-establishment of measles transmission is concerning.  ""If high immunisation coverage is not achieved and sustained in every community, both children and adults will suffer unnecessarily and some will tragically die.""  Professor Martin Marshall, vice-chairman of the Royal College of GPs, said the findings were ""disheartening"".  ""While take-up of the MMR vaccination across the UK are still high, it is not high enough, and we have actually seen a small decline in recent years,"" he said.  ""It is clear that we are still suffering from entirely debunked claims around MMR that were perpetuated in the nineties - and are now resurgent on social media and other online platforms.  ""Work is continuing across the NHS to ensure messages about the safety, and life-saving nature of vaccinations are heard, and it is encouraging that WHO has increased its focus on measles elimination and upgraded action to address the challenges which have allowed this deadly virus to persist in countries including the UK.  ""This, alongside a commitment by our Government to tackle a wave of dangerous anti-vax messages being shared online - particularly via social media - will hopefully go a long way in helping the country get back on track and regain our measles-free status.""  It comes as WHO welcomed a decision by social media company Pinterest to only provide evidence-based information from leading health experts to its users in a bid to tackle health misinformation.  The company will give users resources from WHO, the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), and the WHO-established Vaccine Safety Net (VSN) when they search for a related term.

Up to now, the total annual highest cases of the disease between 2010 and 2017 was 23.927 last year, and the lowest, a few 5.273, in 2016. So, this year has already surpassed the record amount of infected people by measles since 2010, half of the year. These figures, however, do not relate to communities such as Galicia, which did not register any case from 2013, as reported by the Department of Health to Europa Press. However, despite this situation, experts like pediatrician at the Clinical Hospital of Santiago Lorenzo Rendondo urge to ""be on guard"" against this disease, raising awareness of the importance of vaccines. ""Measles is a problem that in Spain we don't see,"" said the pediatrician, in an interview given to Europa Press, recalling that the country is considered ""eliminated"" ailments such as measles or rubella, according to the latest evaluation of the European Commission Verification Commission for Measles Elimination and Rubella (RVC, for its acronym in English). ""Vaccines are one of public health interventions have the greatest impact on humanity"", as has been emphasized dr.

This is the situation of which who realizes at the european level. In Spain, the vaccination calendar states that the first vaccine should be received around 12 months and the second around three and four years, as explained by Lorenzo Round, something that meets the practical totality of the population. At the european level, seven countries have suffered at least 1,000 infections in children and adults this year: France, Georgia, Italy, Russia, Serbia and Ukraine. This last one has been the most affected, with more than 23,000 people infected, which represents more than half of the regional total. In this regard, dr. Redondo has indicated that the problem in these countries, ""has reduced the rate of measles immunization"", but has stressed that ""there is appreciable risk"" on a personal level and that, at the level of public health, the strategy to follow in the medium term is ""to insist on the vaccination, both in children as in adults who have not received. Also, Angel Hernández has explained that the root causes of why they have lowered the coverage vaccine in these countries are various. On the one hand, in some countries is due to social circumstances. For example, in the case of Ukraine, there are open conflicts that hinder the population's access to basic services, and, in others, it is due to the social exclusion of certain groups, as in Greece and Romania. On the other hand, in cases such as France and Italy, where there are problems of access to vaccines, the causes are ""the ignorance, the indolence or mistrust on the part of the population to vaccines"". Spain, a country leader In Spain, at state level, ""in vaccines we are the leaders in Europe, due to high coverage and confidence"", as indicated by Angel Hernandez. So certifies to the WHO, which last September noted that in Spain the measles has been ""eliminated"". This means that the virus is not transmitted continuously for at least three years, as explained by the member of the committee of AEP. Of the 4,000 infected in the european region, 37 people have died due to measles in these first six months of the year, which represents a ""alert in the field of public health"", as indicated by Lorenzo Round, as it is a disease that can be prevented. So, has emphasized that although this is a ""low mortality"", ""is not justifiable in a mortality rate of preventable"". ""You should not die no one by the measles, and it is in our hands, with a strategy of adequate vaccination"", has underlined, as is ""a vaccine is absolutely effective and safe."" In addition, Angel Hernandez has also underlined the effectiveness and safety of the vaccine and has declared that ""with a lot of, the benefits of vaccination outweigh the risks real, but extremely rare, the vaccine. By against, the risks of the natural disease are very important."" In this way, in a system of vaccination voluntary as the Spanish State, Lorenzo Redondo has pointed out that it is relevant, on the one hand, ""the awareness of the population of the importance of vaccination,"" and, on the other, the ""network of pediatricians and Primary Care nurses, who insists day-to-day in the importance of this vaccination"".

""Ask your GP about the vaccine if you, or your children, haven’t had two doses.""  Travellers bound for Christmas markets in Europe have also been warned they are at risk of catching the potentially deadly disease.  WHAT IS MEASLES? HOW TO SPOT THE SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS Measles is a highly infectious viral illness that can be very unpleasant and sometimes lead to serious complications. It's now uncommon in the UK because of the effectiveness of vaccination. Anyone can get measles if they haven't been vaccinated or they haven't had it before. It usually clears in 7 to 10 days but can lead to other serious complications. Symptoms: Initial symptoms include: cold-like symptoms like runny nose, sneezing and a cough  sore, red eyes  fever  small grey-white spots on the inside of the cheeks  aches and pains A few days later a red-brown, blotchy rash will appear, usually beginning on the head or upper neck before spreading. You'll most likely feel most ill the first few days the rash appears. Complications: About one in every 5,000 people will die from measles. Complications are more likely to develop in: babies younger than a year old  children with a poor diet  children with a weakened immune system The most common complications include diarrhoea and vomiting, ear infections, eye infection, pneumonia and bronchitis. But measles can also lead to other complications, although these are rare: hepatitis  brain infections  eye problems and vision loss  heart and nervous system problems  miscarriage or still birth  premature birth  low birth weight Treatment: There is no specific treatment. Your GP will probably suggest resting at home and waiting for it to clear. You can ease your symptoms with pain killers, but always speak to your GP first. You can avoid measles by getting vaccinated. One dose of vaccine can be given to a baby when they are 12-13 months old and a second before they start school. Countries where vaccination levels are higher have less chance of the disease spreading. Source: NHS Choices  Public Health England (PHE) has urged those heading for Italy, Germany and Romania, in particular, to take extra care.  Health chiefs warned those people who haven’t had both doses of the MMR vaccine, are at greatest risk of infection.  It came as PHE confirmed three outbreaks in England are linked to people travelling to the continent.  Dr Mary Ramsay, Head of Immunisation at PHE, said: ""This serves as an important reminder for parents to take up the offer of MMR vaccination for their children at one year of age and as a pre-school booster at three years and four months of age.  ""Children and young adults who missed out on their MMR vaccine in the past or are unsure if they had two doses should contact their GP practice to catch-up.""  The MMR jab is a combined vaccine, which protects against measles, mumps and rubella.  2 The MMR vaccine prevents the spread of the virus, but there are still ways to seek treatment if you contract it Credit: Alamy  In order to be fully protected, it is important to have both doses of the vaccination.  Anyone who might suspect they have the infection is advised to stay at home and call their GP or NHS 111.  The World Health Organisation has previously warned of a measles outbreak sweeping through Europe.  The large-scale outbreaks are happening in countries where immunisation rates have dropped, the agency said.  An Expert's View On Measles  It's now uncommon in the UK because of high vaccination rates.  As a result it is unlikely a widespread outbreak will happen, but smaller, localised cases could happen in parts where large numbers of kids and babies have not had their vaccine.  Anyone can get measles if they haven't already had it, but it is more common in young children.  It starts with cold like symptoms before a rash develops a few days later.

"34712","Around 7.2 million people were born in Spain between 1970 and 1980 and are the group that the Ministry of Health recommends be vaccinated against measles if they have not been vaccinated previously or have not had the disease, before the rebound of the virus worldwide. Due to the confusion generated, sources of Health have reiterated to Efe that the epidemiological situation of measles in our country has not changed, keeping the state of removal from 2016, and remember that the recommendations are reflected in the common calendar of vaccination throughout life. Why the generation of the 70's? Routine vaccination against measles began to generalize in 1981 through the mmr vaccine, which also protects from rubella and mumps, has explained to Efe dr. Luis Ignacio Martínez Alcorta, director of innovation of the board of directors of the Spanish Association of Vacunología. All children born from that year that met the immunization schedule are properly immunized. In the decade of the 70's they used a monovalent vaccine against measles but only for a short period of time, so that there is optimal protection against disease for those who now have between 40 and 50 years, who are the ""target group"" of the recommendation of Health. And what about those born before 1970? The percentage of people born before 1970 who have not had measles is ""marginal"", has pointed out the doctor. Before that year the virus was circulating widely and is a disease as transmissible that more than 90% of the people had already experienced before reaching the age of 18 years. ""It is extremely rare that do not."" Health assumes that these people are immune by having had the disease previously. How do you know if there is that shot? When in doubt whether you are vaccinated or has had measles, ""it is always better to get vaccinated"" because it does not pose any risk even if you have passed the disease. There is an analytical proof called serology to know if a person has suffered or not a certain disease ""but it is not recommended to systematize its use because it is much more cost-effective and safe to vaccinate,"" he explained the doctor Martínez Alcorta. The only caution to take in account for administering the triple viral is, in the case of a woman, if you are pregnant and if the person has a chronic condition that results in immunosuppression, or is allergic to any component of the vaccine. What to do to get the vaccine? If it has been born in the years 70, there is to go to the health center for the medical advice. In the event you need to get the vaccine, the vaccine is ""completely safe, highly effective, and is free"". It is a vaccine of live attenuated virus and is administered in two doses with a minimum difference of four weeks between one and the other. The protection is approximately 93%. The side effects, if they appear, are ""mild and transient"". Currently, the first dose is given at 12 months and the second at 3 or 4 years. The vaccination rate of mmr in 2018 was higher than 95% in the first dose but the second dose is half of the autonomous communities did not come to that coverage. Spain, free of the virus measles is a disease ""extremely contagious"", so if you do not have ""high"" coverage vaccine of 95% or higher the virus continues to circulate and can be extended to other countries where it was not flowing so endemic. It is a disease that can be eradicated, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), which keeps Spain in the list of countries free of the virus. Sources of Health have reiterated to Efe that we are not facing a situation of urgency. Why there has been an increase in cases? There is not a single cause, but several. One of them is the lack of access to health services and immunization in some parts of the world or in certain populations. In developed countries such as the Uk, which has lost the status of having eradicated the virus, Martinez Alcorta has pointed to the information ""not true and not proven scientifically"", which is accessed through the internet ""that makes some people seeking to renege on"" vaccines or ""hesitate"" at the time of putting them on to their children.",449,"spain"

German health minister Jens Spahn has drawn up a draft legislation which would also see children excluded from nursery and daycare facilities if they are not vaccinated against measles.  The initiative comes amid a worldwide debate that is going on about whether the measles vaccine should be obligatory.  According to The Independent, Spahn believes that his draft law has the full support of Germany's coalition government, led by Chancellor Angela Merkel's conservatives, to which he belongs, as well as the left-leaning Social Democrats.  This isn't the first time that a European country has taken a hard stance on this particular subject.  Just over a month ago, Italian children were told not to turn up to school unless they can prove that they have been properly vaccinated.  More recently again, Ireland's health minister Simon Harris said that he would be looking to make vaccinations mandatory for children.

""This is the highest number of cases reported since the elimination of measles in this country in the year 2000 in the United States,"" said the authority. The high number was mainly due to larger outbreaks in the U.S. state of Washington, as well as in the city and in the state of New York since the end of 2018. The longer the eruptions lasted, the greater the likelihood that the disease could gain a foothold in the U.S., it was called. Inadequate Immunization, The U.S. had agreed in the year 2000 as being free of measles. The recent outbreaks were the result of unvaccinated travelers who have imported the disease in the United States, said the CDC. The spread of the disease led back to the authority on the lack of Vaccination. Fault information about the safety of vaccines were among other things to fail.

"3657","Peter Sawicki: measles is an infectious disease that affects mainly children. You causes red spots on the skin. This is likely to be the most common and well known Symptom. It can also be inflammation to life-threatening Cerebral, and, above all, the disease is especially contagious. The SPD and the Union are discussing in Berlin now about whether measles vaccinations for children should be mandatory. So far, they are not. On the occasion, among others, several cases in Hildesheim in lower Saxony. The Greens reject a statutory compulsory vaccination. With the spokeswoman of the Greens in lower Saxony for health policy, we can talk now about this topic. On the phone Meta Janssen-Kucz of the Green is. I salute you! Good day to you! Meta Janssen-Kucz: good day to you. Sawicki: Is your party a health risk? Janssen-Kucz: Our party is not a health risk. We approach the topic only in a very differentiated and not with activism, as pure as I experience the straight of the Grand coalition in Berlin. Sawicki: But it is not only the Grand coalition, calling for a mandatory vaccination. Even the FDP, the party of freedom, which is also in favour. Why is the Green not? ""This requirement is currently absolutely disproportionate"" Janssen-Kucz: in Principle, that the compulsory vaccination is a violation of the fundamental right to physical integrity. And we have a current Coverage, which is only slightly below the target and, thus, effective protection of the population. Therefore, this requirement is currently absolutely disproportionate. We need something else. We need no sanctions and no coercion, but rather a strengthening of the public health service. It is absurd to want to parents, with regulatory measures in the doctor's offices to force, rather than now, more prevention and Information and also to expand. Sawicki: we can talk, again, about such possible measures. But it is also – even the supporters of vaccination say Yes – to the public health, to the common good? The weighs is not higher than the freedom of the individual to the vaccination or not? Janssen-Kucz: If we look at other diseases and how the consequences are, and in what order, we must leave the Church in the village. And what I find very problematic: We talk about a vaccination for measles. In this Form in Germany is not possible. There are only three specialist-vaccines. If we are honest, we are talking now about a vaccination for measles, Mumps and rubella, and is swept up in this whole current discussion under the carpet. There is no easy vaccination for measles. Sawicki: Well! – Then we talk about how we could improve the information that you require. What are you suggesting? Janssen-Kucz: The public health service, our health authorities are in the creches, in kindergartens, in schools. They need to be supported, that you can work in a preventive way, that you can expand the information and discussions even further, and that it is not a Series of check-in. You can't bring Impfskeptiker forced to rethink, but only by a comprehensive advice, and this is more than overdue. I think we have waned in the past few years. Sawicki: Why is this not happening yet? Janssen-Kucz: That has what to do with the staffing situation in the public health service. The counties, the municipalities are actually, very alone, have problems getting Medical officers. Once again, this has to do with the payment, because they are paid to hospitals and and all better. Therefore, nothing goes past a strengthening of the public health service, that we have enough Doctors, you can search for this conversation then, too. We have, unlike earlier, today a lot more Cribs, a lot more kindergartens and not only schools that need to be discussed. Sawicki: Should family physicians be more informed in relation to vaccinations? Janssen-Kucz: house doctors in place is actually always very good. But you are always only at the first vaccination, and in the case of the first vaccination, we have, for example, in lower Saxony, a ratio of 97 percent. The Problem starts at the second vaccination. In lower Saxony only at 93 percent. That is why it is so important, this rate of increase to 95 percent. ""We have not implemented what Sawicki is necessary"": If we look to lower Saxony, where now these cases have come forward. Until not too long ago, the Greens were in the government there. Why you have driven in the area then nothing is progressing? Janssen-Kucz: We have debated this issue of the public health service again and again and discussed. Sawicki: But nothing implemented apparently. Janssen-Kucz: But we have in place – you do not need to be implemented is also very self – critical to say-what is necessary. We are currently working in Niedersachsen, very intense in an inquiry to improve outpatient and inpatient medical care, and the public health service. ""This has something to do with self-protection"" Sawicki: Did the schools in Hildesheim, who have spoken at times of school references for children and adolescents not Vaccinated, right? Janssen-Kucz: I saw in the Situation, there is also no other way as to control and to leave the children with sufficient Vaccination for the first time at home. This has something to do with self-protection for these children, but also with protection for others. Therefore, in a Situation like this, then, is the right way to go. Sawicki: The Left, Yes, if you follow the reasoning, for example, a mandatory vaccination, if it is in public institutions or enters. Then you could introduce, but also in the Form of a vaccination. Janssen-Kucz: In the Form of the is not easy. This is what I said at the outset. The vaccination still represents an interference with the fundamental right to physical integrity, and we can't undermine this fundamental right, what we have to say, who does not have these vaccinations, is allowed to enter public facilities and more. ""I think it is an act of solidarity in society,"" Sawicki: Let me have a question about the attitude of their party, because they now draw attention to the right to physical integrity, the right of the individual. Your party is known to want in other areas, much regulate, especially in the transport policy. Why not in health? Janssen-Kucz: I think there's Apples has to be compared with pears. Here in the health area of the Vaccination from my point of view is always an act of social solidarity, and I recommend it to anyone. But this reason is quite easy to maintain and also in the road transport is the basic right to the integrity of the. There are also presets, but they just work different than in the health area. Sawicki: Is it not irresponsible of parents to vaccinate their children? Janssen-Kucz: As I said, I think it is an act of social solidarity, and I would appeal to all parents to seek the consultation, are skeptical and critical, and to be informed. But the other challenge is also in the direction of the Federal government. It is not acceptable that we only Triple - and Multiple-have vaccines, that it is not possible to vaccinate just against the measles. Since it is also necessary that we have Easy-to-vaccines. Sawicki: With us today in the green health politician from lower Saxony, Meta Janssen-Kucz. Thank you for your time. Janssen-Kucz: Please! – Like!

The data are from the Survey on Hiv, the National 2015-2016, was developed by the National Institute of Health Dr. Ricardo Jorge (INSA), which was attended by 4.866 people, and that it has to update to the latest survey, relating to 2001-2002. In the latest survey, the prevalence of hiv for the virus of measles was of 95.2% out of it, but from the current point to 94.2% for individuals immune to the disease. “This is a value that is less than 95%, the proportion of hiv-infected individuals [in contact with the infectious agent] is required to cause an immunity in respect of the group', which is a side effect of the vaccination is that it protects the vaccinated, but also those who did not receive the vaccine, as it reduces the movement of the agent and the transmission of the infection. The proportion of immune, is it not the same in all the age groups. The document states that “the immunity of the group, it was found overall for both male and female children between the ages of two and nine years old, and in adults over the age of 44 years, which corresponds to the subjects who received VASPR [combined vaccine against measles, mumps epidemic, and the disease], and those who have developed natural immunity”. In the age groups of between two and four years and five to nine years, and the immunity of the group, it is not uniform by region, and sex, “and is less than 95% in some groups, male or female, in the Central and the Autonomous Region of the Azores”. The protection is lower in persons aged 15 to 29 years of age (90%), reaching 88,2% of those between the ages of 15 and 19 years old, and 77,9% for the range of between 20 and 29 years of age. ""The proportion of susceptible individuals in these age groups may be due to the fact that they have been vaccinated with different strains of vaccine, or by a decline in antibodies over time, which can occur after vaccination. The proportion of hiv-infected individuals is close to 100% (99,6%) in the group of those born before the 1970s, and in the case of individuals who have developed natural immunity after being infected with a viral agent”. “The proportion of hiv-positive individuals was greater than 90% but less than 95% in the cohort of those born in and after 1996, and who were born between 1970 and 1977,” he says in the report of the investigation. The research points to a prevalence of antibodies to measles - at the national level, by gender and by region, with percentages lower than those obtained in the survey, 2001-2002. This difference was most marked in the age group between the ages of 15 and 44 years in which there was “an increase in the number of susceptible, with no immunity of the group.” Read ""unsuitable"", says the prime minister-The minister of Health, Adalberto Campos Fernandes, he considers, that is to say that the immunity of a group of the measles does not already exist in the Uk ""not only inappropriate,"" and projecting ""a feeling of alarm, that it is not justified."" ""This opinion is not in the report, it has not been said in the report, it is an interpretation, that is, from the point of view of reading is inadequate, and that it projects a sense of alarm that is unjustified."" Upon arrival, a visit to the Centro Hospitalar Tondela-Viseu, Adalberto Campos Fernandes, has informed that is planned for this afternoon, a press conference of the Directorate-General for Health, and the DISSATISFACTION will explain you technically, the data from this survey. ""I will explain that we have an excellent national program of immunization. We have so many reasons to be proud of our history of vaccination in the Uk,"" he said. According to the ministry of Health, the national programme on immunization in the Uk is a ""very successful"" and ""one of the best in Europe"", which should be considered by parents and educators as a matter of priority. ""The important message is to get vaccinated, to vaccinate and to be vaccinated, because it is to protect yourself, is to make sure that our children are fully immunized against the disease, as the study showed that in the absence of virus circulation and of the consequences, is entitled to assume that the enemy is organic, no longer exists, but it is a gift, and we have to be very careful and vigilant."" Other viruses Besides polio, the ISN't 2015-2016 evaluated for other organisms, including the viruses of poliomyelitis (type 1 and type 3, rubella, mumps epidemic hepatitis A and hepatitis b, The bacteria analyzed were for ‘bordetella pertussis’ (whooping cough)), ‘clostridium tetani’ (tetanus), ‘corynebacterium diphtheriae’ (diphtheria and haemophilus influenzae type b (which causes diseases such as meningitis or pneumonia). In regard to whooping cough, the authors state that “the evidence for the circulation of this bacterium in adults, it reinforces the importance of vaccinating against the whooping cough, for some groups of the population, in order to prevent the spread of bacteria to sites where the risk of hiv infection resulted in severe disease”. For tetanus, the proportion of individuals with a level of antibodies that guard was from 98.4%, higher than the previous surveys, the evidence on the impact of vaccination under the National Program of Vaccination (PNV)”. If you were between 10 and 54 years of age, the proportion of subjects protected against tetanus was 100% from the age of 55 years, this proportion was reduced to 96,4%. In children between the ages of two and nine years old, he came down to the level of antibodies is protective in relation to that ISN 2001-2002. “In spite of all of the children between the ages of two and nine years old, were included in this study, we have antibodies against the toxin of tetanus (lockjaw), and seven per cent of children between the ages of two and four years old, and only 2.6% of all children between the ages of five and nine years old had concentrations below the value considered to be protective."" According to the authors, “these findings suggest that these children have been vaccinated. However, the vaccination did not induce the development of antibodies to the level that gives protection to her.” About the diphtheria, the survey found that the proportion of individuals with a level of antibodies that guard is superior to the one observed in the NSI 2001-2002, in all the age groups. “This difference is more evident after the age of 15, which appears to reflect the introduction of the PNV in 2000, and the combined vaccine against diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, in immunisation booster at 10 years of age, confirming the benefit of their input."" The document states that “the proportion of children with a level of antibodies that guard against invasive disease with ‘haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) is above 86% up to the age of nine years old.” The largest proportion was observed in the age group of two to four years of age (88,5%), the group most vulnerable to the disease, and the lowest percentage is observed between 10 and 14 years of age (75,9%)”. In regards to the disease, the proportion of individuals with a level of antibodies that shield has been up to over 90% in all age groups, with the exception of young people between the ages of 15 and 19 years of age. In this age group must, in the opinion of the author, to be monitored and studied further “clarify the causes of what is observed, so as to ensure immunity in all age groups and for the successful elimination of the disease.",443,"portugal"

""Transmitted by air, it is still active two hours after an infected person has left a room,"" says Dr. Robert Kezaala, head of programme, rubella and measles, and health adviser of Unicef in New York. The disease is manifested by a high fever followed by a patchy rash, and remains contagious four days before and after this eruption. Between January and march, the cases have jumped about 300 % has revealed to the world Health Organization (WHO) last week. One hundred and seventy countries have reported 112.163 measles cases to WHO, against 28.124 case last year on the same date. Rich and poor countries, Africa is the most affected region ( 700 % during the first three months of the year compared to the previous year), followed by Europe ( 300 %), the eastern Mediterranean ( 100 %), the Americas ( 60 %) and the region of South-East Asia/western Pacific ( 40 %). To stem the epidemic, the municipality of New York has recently decided to make vaccination compulsory in certain districts of the city. The measles popped up at the time in poor countries lack access to care and in the rich countries because of the distrust of vaccines. Some have relied on a study by the Uk's Andrew Wakefield, published in 1988, which has linked the vaccine to autism. Since then, it has been established that its author had falsified the results, and several studies have since shown that the vaccine did not increase the risk of autism . The movements of people are also responsible for the new epidemic. ""While the Americas, with the exception of Brazil and Venezuela, were managed to eliminate measles, tourists have been reintroduced in Costa Rica,"" said Dr. Kezaala. The migratory movements of mass, as it was able to be Burma to Bangladesh, for example, are also responsible for the spread of the virus. Eradication on the long term, "" It is necessary to assess the relative increase of 300% in the world. Looking at the history, we are in a logic of eradication. After the campaigns to eradicate smallpox in the 1980s, there was widespread measles vaccination in Europe as early as the year 2000,"" observes Jerome Solomon, director-general of Health, "" but it was thought to go much faster."" Vaccination campaigns have been effective, even in a country as densely populated as China. In Tanzania, the coverage rate reaches 93 % of the population, and it was 95 % in Syria before the war. Everywhere, catch-up campaigns are conducted which are aimed at children from 5 to 10 years. ""There are no of drugs for treatment of measles, is a viral disease, vaccination is the only answer available to us,"" says Dr. Kezaala.

Not to be a problem for those who have children, be vaccinated against it, you would have to say it, but the mmr jab, which protects against mumps, measles and rubella will be given to 14 months. The younger a baby is only accessible for the measles vaccine – which has been the case in the recent outbreak in the the Hague school. Hence, there is demand for child care centres to be given the option to allow non-vaccinated kids out of school. The Dutch political party D66 proposed recently an amendment to the act to which this is easier. Even though it may be, however it happens, it actually is not – that would be discrimination based on religion or belief have been. How do you find out how to do that is to care for your children. Can the mmr jab cannot be given. Four of the questions on vaccinations on young children. 1. How is the coverage on the child? Day care centres are struggling with it, said Rene Loman, a spokesman of the Association of Childcare. At the intake and at a day care center shall be in addition to any other relevant health information concerning, for example, have allergies, are asked, or the child of the Rijksvaccinatieprogramma, follow these steps. However, parents are not obliged to provide the answer to me."" He makes a case for clear guidance from the government on this matter. The organisation has, in any case, it does not include data on the vaccination coverage in particular child care centres, according to Loman. ""A childcare register are often called children or whether or not to participate in the Rijksvaccinatieprogramma, but at present there is no regulation that establishes the extent to which children of that data is public, should be allowed to make it,"" says Helma Ruijs, doctor of infectious disease control at the RIVM. Can vaccines actually be dangerous? In practice, it appears that the organization will be different, and the parents do, or not to be informed of the non-vaccinated children in their care. During a tour of the newspaper last year, one of kinderopvangorganisatie to the parents but to educate, while another's privacy, is heavier to find ways, and for that reason, no statements about doing it. ""The coverage on a child does not say anything about the possibility that your child gets the measles rises’ is emphasised, Ruijs. As for the mmr jab until 14 months and will be given until the age of almost all of the children are not being protected. ‘Up to that age, therefore, all of the children are abroad, measles, mumps, pick, and spread it out on the child.’ Even in the nursery where all the babies and young children well-behaved, the Rijksvaccinatieprogramma have the chance to win a mazelenuitbraak, therefore, can never be completely ruled out. Together are sick. Or don't you? Study of how infectious diseases spread and what is the effect of vaccination with our interactive tool. 2. Children who have mmr jab or not before that? In the uk, it was decided to have children 14 months to get the mmr vaccine, because of that, it is best to work from the age of 1, "" explains Helma Ruijs of the NETHERLANDS from the. From 6 months, there may be an early vaccination may be given, but its efficacy in the long term is less good."" At an early mmr jab before the age of the vaccination with a 14-month anyway, it still has to be repeated. But even in that case, said Ruijs, it is the protection for a long period of time is less than the default age of 14 months, the first injection is used. ""It must, therefore, have to be balanced against the risk that a child needs at that moment. If that's minimal, then I'd rather not.’ Moreover, measles, mumps, in the Netherlands, the reporting of disease, "" says Miranda hammer on the public health service of the Hague. This means that as soon as a doctor that the infection is established, the health authorities will be notified. That will then start an investigation to locate the source of the contamination and people who may be in the disease, have been exposed to. ‘Children as young as 6 months, then it is indeed early, need to be vaccinated, "" says De Haan. ""It is-by-case basis whether that makes sense, because it can take up to three days after contact is made with a mazelenpatiënt.’ ""He was very, very quiet. Out of the office.

It is the Ukraine, which is one of the hardest hit, with some 23,000 cases since January, and then Serbia, Russia, Italy or Greece. In France, public Health, France has identified 2.741 case since November 2017.The WHO on Monday launched an appeal to the vaccination, in the face of the magnitude of the situation. ""The return of this epidemic is the result of a vaccination coverage not high enough,"" laments Olivier Robineau. To effectively fight against viruses, there should be at least 95% of the population is vaccinated. However, in France, 90% of children received the first dose, but only two-thirds have made their recall, according to public Health France. The MMR vaccine (measles, mumps, rubella) is mandatory from 1 January 2018.In France, more than 8 patients out of 10 have never been vaccinated, according to the european Centre of prevention and control of diseases.

""Who can't be vaccinated for medical reasons, you must also prove with a medical certificate,"" said Spahn of the newspaper. Children without Vaccinations will be from Kita-visit excluded. ""Finally, children under ten months may not be vaccinated and, thus, are particularly vulnerable to are in day-care centres."" In the case of schools this was not possible, because there is compulsory education is applicable. ""But who does not vaccinate his child is threatened by fines in the amount of up to 2500 euros.""

According to the practice adopted in these situations the case was reported to the prevention Department of the health authority, which is responsible for the assessment of the people who came in contact with the 26-year-old, to contain a possible spread of the infection. What happened is a sign that measles is still present, and for this reason it is necessary to keep your guard up, as pointed out by Massimo Crapis, head of the operative unit of infectious diseases at the hospital of Pordenone.

"3661","Measles vaccination: How dangerous is measles? For several years, articles about the children's disease, measles accumulate in the media. The offensive style of reporting, the Headings such as ""epidemic of negligence"" and ""Germany as a Germ spreader"" to suggest, is to study the occasion, how much we are actually threatened by this disease. The mortality rate of measles in Germany in the 1990s, 0.005-0.01 percent. The immune system responds to this weaker stimulus with a weaker response than after contact with the measles wild virus. In the blood measured by antibody levels after vaccination is always lower than after the infectious disease. After surviving measles disease is a life-long protection, secondary illnesses are extremely rare. The vaccinations need to be refreshed, however, life again and again, because the immunity wears off. This crucial difference between vaccination and infection, and illness contributes to the fact that a children's disease, which are actually typically between the 3. and 7. Age occurs increasingly in adults, and then with a much higher risk of complications breaks out. Children typical children are likely to get diseases, could be avoided this risk. Those who have at a young age and no positive antibody titers in the blood, could not be with much lower side effects vaccinated to develop in adulthood. Breastfed infants do not become ill in the first nine months of measles, if the mother had measles (""nest protection""). Children of vaccinated mothers can be taught no nest protection. So it comes to a percentage increase in measles in infancy with severe forms of the disease – not because of the gaps, but because of the vaccination, by the nature of the intended protection has been undermined. Are the side effects of the vaccination to be feared? In order to detect side effects of a vaccination in a comprehensive, it is not enough to document the then immediately occurring reactions, such as allergies, seizures, Development setbacks and delays, etc. Also the apparent evidence that the measles vaccination inflammations cause with the Occurrence of chronic intestinal and autism is no safety guarantee. We don't know today, what are the adverse effects of the efforts of science for future generations. It seems that the euphoria over the Feasible one is preoccupied with the critical view on the possible consequences. Our children will be doing the suffering, they react as seismograph, the interference on the part of the sensible world of adults. Some of the medical advances will make in the future, people not less, but just different sick. The people and especially the children are not grown in the past decades, healthier, in spite of or because of the massive use of drugs, especially in the 1. Years of age. It should be noted that 90% of the child-prescribed drugs are not approved for this age group. What is the influence of vaccination on the immune system? Vaccinations the immune system affect in a development phase in which it is formed slowly, differentiated, and extremely trouble-prone. A immune training, like any Training is only useful if the time and level of Exercise are appropriate. Vaccination should in 3. Month of life the body to train its own defence against 10 diseases at once – because the assumption is that this can in some cases lead to exhaustion, or disorders of the immune system.

The WHO estimates that less than one in ten cases is reported in the world. After Africa, Europe is the world region most affected by this increase ( 300 %), followed by the eastern Mediterranean ( 100 %), the Americas ( 60 %) and the region of South-East Asia/western Pacific ( 40 %).

Measles is one of the most contagious diseases in the world for which there is no curative treatment, but it can be prevented by two doses of a vaccine ""safe and effective"", according to the WHO.

"60612","I have decided to give an answer to the question in the same title, to be very clear to all those people who do not want to read this post. It is impossible to conceive of a modern society with beliefs that can be at the height of those who advocate wars for religious reasons, to healers who promise to cure homosexuality or to those in a cult promoting a mass suicide by convincing their parishioners that a spaceship will come later to pick them up to take them to another planet a better paradise. The measles virus belongs to the genus Morbillivirus of the family Paramyxoviridae, a virus and a disease that some years ago in developed countries, we had already forgotten and eradicated. But in an increasingly globalized society, and with the movements antivacunas the order of the day, is having a spike troubling cases of measles in the last year. And yes it is worrying, because measles is not eradicated at global level, and is very contagious. Besides, it is not a mild disease, if not to explain to the underdeveloped countries which do not have the adequate means to combat it. Thanks to vaccination, it is estimated that measles deaths worldwide have dropped by 80%, from about 550000 in the year 2000 to about 110000 in the year 2017. The studies establish that, thanks to the measles vaccine, have been prevented more than 20 million deaths since the year 2000, approximately 1 million years, the majority would have been children, which is the most vulnerable group. In 2018 and 2019 the alarm. UNICEF warns that in the year 2018 98 countries for the first time in this century, recorded more cases of measles than in the previous year. And if we focus on the present, in 2019, the data get worse, and not only in underdeveloped countries. In fact, in the U.S. so far in 2019, there have been more cases of measles in the last 18 years, a disease that was officially eradicated. These outbreaks have also occurred in other european countries such as France, our neighbouring country, Italy, Greece... And if we go to the Ukraine, the figures soar to more than 50000 cases in the last year. Measles can be complicated. In the majority of cases, measles presents with fever, malaise, pain in eyes, cough, and the classic skin rashes. Normally it is a disease and that with rest, treatment and care relevant refers to the week approximately. The problem is that these symptoms can be complicated and lead to complications that can be fatal, such as meningitis, pneumonia, and encephalitis. Remember that I commented that it estimates that thanks to vaccination are saved per year nearly 1 million lives throughout the world, figures that are taken into account. Measles is a very contagious disease... Even if the herd immunity generated protection to people not vaccinated, measles is very contagious. In addition to direct contact, can be transmitted through the air, in fact the virus in air and surfaces infected can be contagious for periods of up to 2 hours. It can also be transmitted by an infected individual from 4 days before until 4 days after appearance of rashes. Get an idea of what an infected child can roll in a class or a school if there were no vaccination. Rubella, an added complication... A father or a mother who decides not to vaccinate your child for measles, you should know that probably your child has not been administered the mmr. Vaccine that offers immunity against measles, mumps, and rubella. Mumps can also produce complications ranging from orchitis, ovaritis, and mastitis to deafness, meningitis, and encephalitis. Rubella can also be responsible for other complications to take into account, such as arthritis and encephalitis, the latter may occur 1 out of every 6000 cases. In addition, a pregnant woman who contracts rubella, the risk of transmitting the disease to the fetus through the placenta, the risk to the newborn of developing cataracts, deafness, heart problems and mental disorders. When you think that it happens in other parts of the world, that it catches you away from your cozy seat while you watch a series or queries your biodiver sity newsletter on your Smartphone, you should know that France, our neighbouring country has also suffered a major outbreak of this disease in this last year. If you have decided not to vaccinate your children, you should know that in some diseases are reducing the herd immunity that they enjoyed and are putting in risk your health and the health of those around them.

And yet, beyond the walls of the school, the work of education was still to be done. At least in part, with a vaccination coverage remains below 95 % necessary, at the age of 2 years, to curb the risk of epidemic, France is still far from keeping the goal of eradication of measles, yet fixed to the year 2010, by the world health Organization.

From October 2018 in the african country have been reported more than 115 cases. This is the largest outbreak in the history of the state, where only 58% of the people have been vaccinated against the virus responsible for the disease, while according to experts it is necessary to have a cover between 90% and 95% to prevent outbreaks. At the end of last march, the Who has launched a mass vaccination against measles with the objective of immunizing 7.2 million children aged six months to nine years of age. But this is not a problem linked only to the poorest countries or developing countries. Also in New York, was taken to a similar extent, after which the mayor of the Big Apple has declared a state of emergency because of the spread of the disease, which was contracted by at least 250 people by September 2018.

It wants us to have at least a Blog to be credible, relying on a judgment of the Federal court. Then we adjust the Fake-a microscope... So the Blog ""Mara's world"" writes: ""almost exactly a year Ago, a verdict that made headlines. The tender of a sum of 100,000 euros, for those who can prove the existence of the measles Virus. It was the third and last process in this matter. In the last two instances, it was found that the existence of measles virus can not be proved. On the contrary, it was found that the studies that were used previously as a basis, have always been misinterpreted and there were no control groups.“ Pre-equal to the conclusion: no, the BGH has not confirmed with the confirmation of the judgment at any time, the existence of measles virus. The payment of the prize money was only rejected because of a technicality: Bardens could not meet the exact requirements, the Lanka, in its exaltation of the virgin requested. However, the existence of the measles Virus by now over 19,000 studies doubt is proved. Even if opponents want to prefer to rely on the ""New Germanic medicine"", and Globules. What, exactly, this judgment turned? Our story begins on may 24. November 2011. On this day, Dr. Stefan Lanka, his character opponents and supporters of the ""New Germanic medicine"", an award from the praised money of € 100,000, which the Person deserves him to be credible evidence of the existence of the measles Virus by means of a study. More specifically, he engages in his tender the research of Dr. Annette Mankertz, the, lt. Lanka, nowhere proves the diameter of the measles Virus, although it conducts this research. And what has no clear diameter, can't seems to exist, so the logic of Lanka. The German physician David Bardens, took up this challenge and sent him to several studies, what are all the possible aspects of the Masen-Virus, also the diameter of which is covered. Lanka was, however, not very impress, because, as Martin Moder wrote in science blogs: ""Who needs 19.000 studies, if one has an opinion"". Before the court was decided, that the Bardens have provided, without any doubt, the existence of the measles Virus, the prize money to him. Lanka, however, was of course not at all happy and went in appeal. His justification: His requirements for the detection of the measles Virus would not be taken into account by the Bardens studies submitted completely. The Showdown On The 16. February 2016, it was then, finally, to the extent that: Before the higher regional court (OLG) Stuttgart, there was, in this respect, the hearing of the appeal after the district court of Ravensburg, in the first hearing on 12. March 2015 Lanka to verdonnerte to pay the € 100,000 in prize money. And here it came now to that judgment, which was nearly confirmed a year later by the Federal court of justice (BGH): Dr. Stefan Lanka must pay 100,000 euros to David Bardens. Have the opponents right? So it sounds, at least in the Newsletter of Lanka Homepage ""Knowledge creates Plus"" of 17. January, 2017: ""In the process have brought five experts and the results of scientific research presented. All five reviewers, including the only court representative, Prof. Dr. Dr. Andreas Podbielski have consistently found that none of the six are in the process of tabled publications contains a scientific evidence for the existence of the alleged measles Virus.“ But we like to have both sides of a coin and take a look at the court judgment: in fact, the action was dismissed Bardens on the payment of 100,000 € from the higher regional court of Stuttgart. The justification was confirmed in January 2017, also by the BGH. And what the justification was? And now we come to the point that both ""Mara's world"" as well as all other pages, the link to the Blog or quote, probably completely have missed The actual justification! Let's take a glance in the judgment: paragraph 12, and 13 are important: It must be a (!) scientific publication is available in both the existence as well as the diameter of the measles-proved Virus and are determined. But it is even more accurate: We summarize the changes briefly: Lanka demanded a publication of the Robert Koch Institute. And although a single publication, not several. And in this single publication, both the proof as well as the diameter of the measles, it must be Virus. Furthermore, this diameter should not be proved on the basis of a drawing, but must be identified on the basis of a photo. Why the evidence proves the diameter of a Virus in a publication, however, the existence of which is itself a mystery. But it goes even further, with regard to the requirements of: David Bardens was the recipient of the newsletter, so he would have been allowed in this tender part. Even if he would have, therefore, provided the above required evidence, so he didn't get the prize money. What the court thinks for itself about the judgment and Lanka? Also, we found a nice paragraph in the judgment: the court found that the advertising was nothing more than a part of a campaign, where Lanka has no discernible interest in his assertion that the measles virus there, ever refuted. Conclusion no, the Supreme court has confirmed with the confirmation of the judgment at any time, the non-existence of measles virus. The payment of the prize money was only rejected because of a technicality: Bardens could not meet the exact requirements, the Lanka, in its exaltation of the virgin requested. However, the existence of the measles Virus by now over 19,000 studies doubt is proved. Even if opponents want to prefer to rely on the ""New Germanic medicine"", and Globules.

""It is obvious that France has suffered for years what is called the ""fake news"" regarding vaccines. There has been a lot of misconceptions about vaccination in general.

This has also pushed the French legislation to change and make them mandatory before the recurrence of these diseases.""

"17416","The deadly and untreatable measles virus that was previously eradicated from the United States and many other parts of the world has returned in spreading outbreaks amid a growing anti-vaccination movement — but at least one Republican lawmaker in Texas doesn’t see any cause for concern.  Bill Zedler, a state representative and outspoken anti-vaxxer, has thrown his support behind new legislation that would effectively allow Texas residents to opt out of childhood vaccinations for their children. Mr Zedller has an A++ rating from Texans for Vaccine Choice — the only lawmaker with that high of a rating — and has long promoted misleading claims surrounding vaccinations and childhood illnesses.  “When I grew up, I had a lot of these illnesses,” the Republican told Texas Observer in a report published earlier this week, going on to list illnesses like chickenpox, measles and mumps. “They wanted me to stay at home. But as far as being sick in bed, it wasn’t anything like that.”  Download the new Indpendent Premium app Sharing the full story, not just the headlines  “They want to say people are dying of measles,” he continued. “Yeah, in third-world countries they’re dying of measles … today, with antibiotics and that kind of stuff, they’re not dying in America.”  His comments arrived as measles outbreaks have spread across Texas and four other states in the US, and cases of the mumps virus reportedly reached a 20-year-high in the Lone Star state. Despite growing support for the anti-vaxxing movement, research has repeatedly debunked a slate of conspiracy theories surrounding childhood vaccinations.  Shape Created with Sketch.

The Centre for Disease Control and Prevention reported figures of unvaccinated children in the US having quadrupled from 2001 to 2015.  In defending his opposition to mandatory vaccination — which effectively eliminated measles from the US by 200 after a vaccine was discovered in 1963 — Mr Zedler added, “This is not the Soviet Union, you know.”  His comments echoed similar controversial statements made by Darla Shine, the wife of White House communications director Bill Shine, who tweeted the false claim that illnesses like measles, mumps and chickenpox “keep you healthy & fight cancer.”  “I had the #Measles #Mumps #ChickenPox as a child and so did every kid I knew — Sadly my kids had #MMR so they will never have the life long natural immunity I have. Come breathe on me!” Ms Shine wrote, adding, “Bring back our #ChildhoodDiseases.”  Despite growing support for anti-vaxxing movements and claims made by influential voices and politicians, there is no evidence to suggest vaccinations are highly dangerous for children — or that viruses like measles keep people healthy. There is also no evidence to suggest illnesses like measles or mumps prevent cancer.  “Children did die as a result of measles infections,” Len Lichtenfeld of the American Cancer Society told the Washington Post earlier this month. “I think over time, it becomes part of our past, and it tends to become less relevant and less important as we move along in time, and we forget how serious a problem it was for those who grew up in that generation.”",427,"uk"

The measles outbreak continues to spread in the Samoa, where it has been 70 deaths, mainly of young children, according to figures published Monday 9 December. In 24 hours, 112 new cases were reported in spite of an unprecedented campaign of vaccination conducted last week for two days to try to curb the epidemic of this highly contagious disease. The government has stated that the vaccination teams deployed through this archipelago of the south Pacific have managed to immunize 90% of its 200 000 inhabitants. The vaccination rate was 30% of the population before the beginning of the epidemic in mid-October. But the vaccine is only effective only at the end of 10 to 14 days, which means that it is still too early to say whether the peak of the epidemic has been reached. On 4 693 cases reported, 229 people remain hospitalized, including 16 children in a critical condition. Among the 70 people who died are 61 children of four years or less.

In the coming days to 5 cases had already been recorded in the quadrilateral Montecchio Maggiore - Altavilla - Sarego - Brendola may more on the way. The germ is highly infectious, is transmitted with ease, and if you do not find the protective shield of the vaccine, does not discount anyone. The most suspect is just the fifth case, that is, the man of Brendola, free of vaccination coverage as the 4 women affected by the virus. It was the last so far to be attacked by the measles. What defines “if the tertiary sector”. It has taken the infection from a work colleague who, in turn, was infected from a woman of 36 years of Montecchio at the origin of the chain of the epidemic. The man began to have fever Wednesday, July 17, while the rash of reddish spots appeared three days after, on Saturday the 20th. You are infected, then, in those days, and, as the disease, which spreads by air with droplets of saliva, has an incubation of about 10 days, the radius of contagion may be expanded, considering among other things the fact that the man is working in contact with many people. It could, therefore, be around other cases of measles for the moment silent, but with the viral load already primed and ready to explode. For this reason, the health authority maintains a high level of surveillance, even if the wish of the general that the epidemic has stopped. To make fear is not so much the disease itself but complications. ""You underestimate too much this risk - noted dr. Padovan - and instead of 2018, has been marked by a series of consequences caused by the measles, otitis, laryngitis, pneumonia, until the disease is most serious is encephalitis. The symptoms are tragic: the victim is assailed by a strong headache and has a stiffness of the neck become more and more marked. 10% of these people die and more than 50% of the survivors will bring upon neurological sequelae permanent"". Meanwhile, in the area affected by the epidemic there is a rush to the information, while many are placed in a row to book the vaccination, which remains the only weapon to prevent the disease. ""They arrived,"" explains Padovan - dozens of calls from young parents who have children. We have given directions and explanations, trying to reassure the most worried. These situations always create the psychosis, which, however, we must avoid, but will also understand the importance of vaccinations. We strive, in particular, on adults over the age of 30 that will be travelling to Countries where measles is endemic: East Europe and South-East asia, primarily Thailand, are high-risk areas where the disease record a cyclic pattern with peaks in outbreak high: those who are not immunised with two doses complete can be in danger.""

And in cases of immune diseases, acquired or complex. In other cases, with attention, you can proceed to the vaccination, which, actually, is protective.

"5774","A couple of days ago a child with leukemia has died at the San Gerardo hospital in Monza after being infected with measles. It was not true, as it is written at the beginning, that the child was infected by the brothers that have not been vaccinated but it is interesting to note how the story is now used by the antivaccinisti (or by prestigious representatives of the movement “are Not antivaccinista but!”) to shout to the conspiracy by providing doctored information about what happened. And then maybe it should go back to the genesis of the story to understand something more. The child died from the measles at Monza, the history of the brothers and the no-vax on The 22nd of June at 19 in the evening, the councillor and the Welfare of the Region of Lombardy Giulio explore the old announced on his page Facebook the death of the child, send a note to the press agencies but without providing further details on the family. Certainly from the outset the assessor writes that the immunity of the flock have saved the small: “small"", explained the councillor – he was suffering from Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (all), a disease that today has a chance of healing in more than 85% of the cases with similar shapes. On 15 March, for the suspicion of infection by the measles (diagnosis confirmed on the 16th of March), was transferred to the icu for worsening progressive of the framework of the lung with need of respiratory assistance. Was intubated, and then started the service using ECMO for cardiac or respiratory failure, continued until today's date”. “I wish to emphasize – it has concluded the councillor – as only the immunity of the flock, i.e. the vaccination of more than 95% of children, is the only way to protect immunocompromised individuals, or who have contracted diseases such as in the case of the small San Gerardo, which for these reasons can not be vaccinated”. At 20 and 22 and the press agency ANSA writes in a launch – and reiterates in a subsequent service on the matter – that the child “would have been infected by her siblings who had not been vaccinated,” citing “sources in the hospital. “The family would have preferred not to vaccinate the two older children, despite the smaller one – just due to leukemia – he had a compromised immune system, and therefore could neither be vaccinated nor to defend itself against any infections”. The San Gerardo hospital in Monza and the death of a child with leukaemia The information is taken from all the newspapers on-line (we talked about it we also), and the day after, all contain further details on the matter. In particular, the Corriere della Sera on page 16 and the Republic page 19 (we talked about the articles in here) will tell you that the baby is the son of ""A couple in milan, probably one of those ""no-vax"""" (the Courier) and that ""In Monza, Carlo (the name is fancy, ndr) has contracted the disease in march. From the two brothers, that have not been vaccinated for the decision of the parents, more times square events no-vax against compulsory vaccination"" (the Republic). Now, be careful. In the afternoon of yesterday, Andrea Biondi, the chief of pediatrics, San Gerardo hospital, gives an interview to TG3 Lombardia – that in the titles were still child infected by the brothers – to say basically two things: it denies that the baby is infected by the brothers because they have contracted the disease later and says that the child is to be saved, with the immunity of the flock. Andrea Biondi:no, the primary of the San Gerardo and... next-to-daily The interview began to circulate because it is put on Youtube by user Valerio Cozzolini, which, however, curiously cut all the part that concerns the immunity of the flock, leaving only the response on the brothers. Also curious that many cite the interview or other articles on the matter (for example in the comments to this article) “smoothing” completely the reference to the immunity of the flock: so Blonde is in the curious situation of being trusted when he says that were not the brothers to infect the child, but to become “forgettable” when he speaks of the immunity of the flock. Who knows why. The antivax and the child died of measles Later on Biondi is also interviewed by Sky Tg 24 and ADN Kronos Salute (we reported his comments here) and there also reiterates the question of the immunity of the flock. It was written that the child would be infected by the brethren. “That's simply not true. His only protection – and reiterates the doctor it would be the immunity of the flock”. But immunization rates have fallen dangerously in Italy, where cases of measles from 1 January to over 3000. The baby was infected in mid-march, and his condition has progressively worsened. For a child with the disease “measles is particularly insidious,” recalls the expert. Blond underlines, finally, that the body of a child was debilitated by the disease and by the treatment which he was subjected. Also any vaccination in this case could not be enough. “For him, the only defense was the immunity of the flock”, he concludes. In this interview with Rainews – that some of the antivax has linked with satisfaction, probably because I listened to it with attention – Blond also says something else: ""The baby was at the stage in which all children are more fragile because I was not well"". ""We must keep in mind that our children live when they are in therapy to a life of normal relations, the opportunity to meet their friends. Facing a period of an epidemic that we had the virus was circulating more. The problem is that we have had in the first four months of this year, the same number of cases that we have in a year."" That is, even here, Biondi explains that the problem is the epidemic, and then there is no immunity, and of the flock. What he said Lorenzin? At this point, what do they support our heroes antivax? We have gathered a collection of declarations here: there are those who say that the fact that the cause of leukemia was immunedepressed is irrelevant. Why is it the fault of the vaccines, “most of our children is immunodepressa”. Perhaps the doctors would do better to find a cure for the measles (that is, only on an individual immunedepressed not work so well as for the sick “normal”). There are those who argue that since the brothers have not died of measles, then the child has died of leukemia. There are those who say that it is all a trick and that this was news last year. The page Facebook LOV – Free from the Obligation of Vaccination commenting on the news saying that there “is a risk for all and for all”. In short, the risk of dying due to a preventable disease when you are immunosuppressed it is acceptable. This despite being a much higher risk of the onset of adverse reactions to vaccines. Then there is the history that the child, already immunedepressed, would contract the disease, because, in the absence of beds, it would have been hijacked between the infectious. The Newspaper of Monza, that some antivaccinisti waving puffed up yesterday as the source for the question of the brothers, the denies: But, above all, a bit of all if you take it with the minister Beatrice Lorenzin, who would have exploited the death of the child. Yet, as we have seen, is false news, there was only one that concerned the brothers of the little. The Lorenzin has never spoken of the brothers of the little? This is the first tweet of the Lorenzin on each other: As you can see, the Lorenzin speaks of the immunity of the flock. The same thing that says Biondi. In the declaration attached to who speaks Lorenzin? “It is very sad comment on the death of the child of 6 years at Monza, you'd probably be saved from leukemia, but that measles killed because being sick could not be vaccinated. It happens, as science tells us, when we have no immunity, and of the flock”. He says, in a note to the minister of Health, Beatrice Lorenzin. “You don't need to add words, you must respect the medical and scientific truths for the sake of our children, "" concludes the minister. Are close to the parents and to their immense pain.” The following day, at 14 and 25 will also be displayed in this other declaration of Lorenzin, in which he mentions the Lorenzin and speaks of the brothers of the child. Attention: it is not the Lorenzin to speak of the brothers, but the text of the agency of the press: A life is well worth a law”. In the aftermath of the death of the sick child with leukemia, and struck down by the measles, caught from siblings, not vaccinated, Beatrice Lorenzin is back on the story, calling it a “heartrending story”. From Digithon of Bisceglie, the minister of Health has declared they have followed the story of the little for a month: “We are in an epidemic of measles, children and adults are not vaccinated are at risk. Children are fragile like the one in Monza, which was recovering from leukemia, that we would be saved from leukemia, died of the measles”. In short, in all this, three things are clear: first, that the wrong were the media. The second is that all the experts (Blonde) and representatives of the institutions (Lorenzin, explore the old) who have spoken of the incident have blamed the low immunity of the flock. The third is that the anti-vax are the only ones I had noticed. Coincidences?",426,"italy"

To cure the measles with homeopathy Gabriella Mereu after the removal from the register is run immediately to the guards. Now it is no more “medical” but as “holistic operator”. The guidance provides, however, remained the same. Yesterday a mom is addressed to the group to know the meaning and the reason of some of the symptoms appeared in the child (the adult, apparently) that for some days has high fever, pain in the joints and the feeling of having swollen fingers”. Fortunately, the mother had turned already to the doctor but the search for a cure led her to ask the holy dr. cagliari. What are those bubbles on the soft palate? How to never feel a burning sensation on the mouth of the stomach? Some of the adepts, waiting for the operation clarifier Mereu, start to make their guesses using the process of analogy used by the former doctor.

After a few hours comes a shocking – for the doctors of the Internet – diagnosis: in the emergency room they said that it could be measles, and, fortunately, the doctors of the hospital have started a drug therapy to control the symptoms.

"5772","SHOULD WE BE AFRAID OF THE MEASLES THAT CREATES AMNESIA IMMUNE? Of Tetyana Obukhanych, Ph. D. The measles suppresses the immune system through the amnesia immune? We do a bit of ""fact checking"". In 2002, dr. Peter Aaby and co-authors have published a study conducted in rural areas of Senegal, in the area where there was a measles outbreak. According to the study: ""there is No index or minor case of measles has died in the acute phase of the infection, and none of the children exposed to measles died in the first 2 months after the exposure."" (And given what we know from the publication in the Lancet Global Health, 2015, identifying vitamin A deficiency as risk factor for mortality from measles, we can safely assume that perhaps the children in this area were not so deficient in vitamin A, such as the children of other parts of Africa and Asia, where it is known that the infection with measles causes a high mortality rate.) Dr. Aaby and co-authors were testing a hypothesis commonly widespread, according to which after the survival of the measles, the children would have had a higher mortality rate from other infections because of immune suppression to long-term, that is expected to follow the measles. But they got the opposite results. In fact, they found that: ""children exposed who develop the measles clinical have had a mortality rate adjusted for age in the subsequent 4 years compared to children exposed who have not developed measles clinical"". Why then all this recent hysteria about measles with consequent amnesia immune, as if you should kill him? There are some research publications that have been gathered by the media or referred to by other publications search for food unnecessarily these fears. Let's take a look at the publication PLoS Pathology 2012, entitled ""immune Suppression of measles: lessons from the macaque model"". The researchers say: “Here we show that MV infected preferentially the T lymphocytes to memory CD45RA (-) and B-lymphocytes and follicular, causing high levels of infection in these populations. After the peak of viremia lymphocytes infected with MV have been deleted in a few days ... our results indicate a clearance immune-mediated of T lymphocytes with memory CD45RA (-) infected by MV and B-lymphocytes and follicular, which causes amnesia immunological temporary. ""OK, here we have an infection is a preferential lymphocyte memory by the measles virus, resulting in the temporary loss of immunological memory. And then? When it's never been shown that the immunological memory has something to do with protection from reinfection? In fact, it has been shown to the contrary from the research carried out in the laboratory of the swiss scientist Dr. Rolf Zinkernagel, who won the Nobel Prize in 1996. In the title of his review of 2012, clearly states: “The immunological memory not equal protective immunity."" In addition, the chickenpox virus (varicella) doing exactly the same thing of the measles virus: it infects the lymphocytes in the memory, as revealed in another research paper published in PLoS Pathology in 2013: “During viremia the virus preferably has infected the T cells of the memory, initially, T-cells, central memory, and subsequently T cells memory effector "". And yet, no one is screaming from the rooftops that the chicken pox will die for the next cold that tighten. Perhaps it would be a lie too obvious to all the survivors to the chicken pox that do not remember having suffered any kind of immunosuppression, despite the fact that the varicella virus has infected their memory T cells. But because the generation of vaccine-measles has almost completely replaced the generation of the measles natural, the media can get away with spreading such fears without the good sense to put a stop to them. Another article recently published in Science, is titled ""The measles virus infection reduces antibodies pre-existing that can provide protection from other pathogens"". ""Antibodies that offer protection""? Let us pause a moment right here. When was it ever shown that antibodies provide protection? In fact, it was observed the opposite. We do not recall another famous immunologist and a Nobel Prize winner in 1960, Sir Macfarlane Burnet, who told us the following about the role of antibodies (or better, the lack thereof) for the immunity in children, which was missing the production of antibodies due to a genetic condition called agammaglobulinemia: ""to the surprise of all [children with agammaglobulinemia] showed a normal course of measles with a typical rash which is faded at the moment normal, and it was followed by an immunity substantial against reinfection as would be shown by any other convalescent. The production of antibodies is therefore not necessary, nor for the recovery or for the development of immunity to measles. ""(Burnet and White. Natural History of Infectious Disease. Cambridge University Press, 1940), And we do not know of a document that is modern, that demonstrates that the medical professionals with antibody titers positive for measles may still develop measles: “hospital employees who work in the areas of patient care, from July through November 1990 were screened for the levels of measles antibody by using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay commercially available (EIA). Four healthcare workers vaccinated in the past, have developed measles. All were antibody positive for the measles pre-disease"" Then who cares what is going on temporarily with antibodies that bind to pathogens after infection by the measles? A true correlate of protection is not the level of antibodies that bind to the pathogens, but the serum titers that neutralize the virus. These are measured with a technique called neutralization of the reduction of the plaque-reduction neutralization), which is quite different from how they are detected antibodies. If measured side by side using the same serum samples of animals from the research, the measures of neutralization of the virus and the titles of the bond with the antibodies does not follow the same pattern in time, and thus do not measure the same entity. Before you start panicking about the effects been shown to the infection of measles on the temporary loss of immune memory or on the decreased levels of the anti-virus, let us ask ourselves: do we understand the biological basis of immunity from re-infection viral? The science is really set to anything, here? Why not, it seems to me. In the course of the last century, the theory of the immunological has wavered back and forth between the vision of the immunity-based on cells than humoral. That debate was useless, because the majority of immunological research has been conducted with substances that are immunogenic non-infectious, which are not capable of testing the theory in action. In 1942, Dr. Merrill Chase postulated that the immunity could be transferred with immune cells from animals immunized animals to naive. In 1995, the research of Dr. Zinkernagel has refuted that, showing that the transfer of immunological cells of the memory did not confer protection, when the animals were then challenged with a virus. But the transfer of serum from animals immune responses conferred protection, which the Dr. Zinkernagel implied that the protective immunity is found in the antibodies derived from the serum. Yet, in the years '40, dr. Burnet knew already that it couldn't be that, because of his clinical observations in patients agammaglobulinemici who had no antibodies, but that they might generate immunity to a childhood disease, like measles. Then, what it is: a basic mobile phone, antibody-based, or neither? And what is missing in the framework? And what is missing in the debate immunological is a factor derived from the cells called Transfer Factor. The TF was discovered in the years '50 by Henry Sherwood Lawrence. In 1980, an article in the clinical research fundamental was published in the New England Journal of Medicine, demonstrating that the TF administered to children with leukemia in one study, double-blind, saline solution controlled placebo has protected them from chicken pox during the 12-30 months of follow-up . In this clinical study, the TF was prepared by extracting (dializzando) from leukocytes of a donor who had a history of chickenpox. The researchers had to kill those leukocytes to extract the TF. And very probably, those were the lymphocytes of the memory that contained TF, since it was to be obtained by people who already had the chicken pox. Let's go back to the propensity note of the measles virus to infect and kill the lymphocytes in the memory. It could be that instead of make you less immune to it killing lymphocytes of the memory, the infection with measles would make it more immune by killing the lymphocytes in the memory, due to the release of TF from all the lymphocytes in the memory of the killed in the blood stream? Scientists have measured the levels of TF in serum compared with infections previously found before and after the measles, as they have done for antibodies? I bet no. Because this would put an end to the spread of panic. And this would not be positive for the business of vaccines and the mandates of vaccines. And we face yet another aspect of the lymphocytes in the memory. A subset of them (memory Th2) is known to be a reservoir immunological diseases such as atopic / allergic, including asthma. In fact, it has also been proposed in a publication of 2006 in the journal Pharmacologic Theory that the drugs are needed to target and kill these annoying memory cells Th2, in order to reduce their contribution to asthma. And if the measles virus and the chickenpox already do just that - kill memory T cells - should not lead to a reduced risk of asthma and other atopic diseases? Indeed, it should. And here are some of the publications that document these effects for measles in Africa and in Europe, and for varicella in the United States. Reread the conclusion of the study by Dr. Aaby and let it sink in: ""The exposed children who develop measles clinical have had a mortality-adjusted ages in the next 4 years compared to children exposed who have not developed measles clinical"".

But cases are increasing in Europe. -In our country, for now, we are doing quite well. Between 2006 and 2015 in Galicia alone, there were 11 cases, the majority imported. The last 6 were in Lugo, where five were secondary or derived first imported case of a trip to Sicily. - And do in la Coruna? -In the Chuac the last suspect data, 2011, in an older person, and was not confirmed. - What they care about, by proximity, the cases of Portugal? -The outbreak of march, in the north of Portugal has not had an impact in Galicia, although concern was among the health workers, who are often the most affected by the proximity to the patients. - Can we be calm? -Spain is located in good situation because the vaccination coverage is high. Is note that our system is universal and it has been protected always. Continues to to vaccinate a lot, but we can not relax, because it is true that we do not reach the 95 % of full vaccination, that is to say, with the two doses of the mmr, which is far from ideal. - Why? -We have a very good levels, 97.8 %, with the first dose, the twelve months of life. But on the second dose, at three years old, we went down to the 92,40 %, maybe for oblivion, for relaxation. If we take into account that in our environment the only protection against measles is by vaccination there are to get that 95 %. - What is the current antivacunación are making a dent? -In our environment the main problem for not reaching the levels it has to do with that stream because, as opposed to other areas of Europe, there are large pockets of population not vaccinated for other reasons, because of ignorance, poverty... In a few years the reserves against vaccination have gone up 1-2 %. -Is on the increase. -Don't let your guard down. In general it is true that other vaccines, such as the papillomavirus, causes more doubts. The first year of the child can hardly refuse, but there are those who yes. - How to convince them? -We know that out of every thousand children who get measles, one will die. And they tend to be the smallest. It is a disease usually of childhood that presents with fever, cold and a rash or eruption on the skin, and can have serious complications of the central nervous system and the respiratory tract, such as pneumonia. Particularly affect children less than a year, and where it is not recommended the vaccine, so it is important that the population be immunized to prevent transmission of a virus that, in addition, is highly contagious. - To what extent? -Transmitted by respiratory secretions, coughing, talking... For every case of flu occur four side. With the measles are 18. And it is important to maintain or raise the rates of vaccination, more that because of our situation by what is happening in Europe. In some countries, they are taking the double of cases in 2017. -There are some who argue that vaccinating is not a guarantee. -It is true that no vaccine is 100% efficient, but the measles is about much. Well-managed, with the two doses, reaches 99% efficiency. ""In situations of risk to the public health I think that the vaccine should be mandatory"" Pereira warns that, compared to other viruses that are transmitted more slowly, the virulence of the measles is reflected in an impact on health in the short term. And not only in the individual. -Vaccinate is a personal decision. -Yes, it is an individual decision, but it affects the collective. If I don't beef I am facilitating the spread of the virus in the environment. You have to be aware that I am not just me. And when the shots start to be effective we relaxed. What we do not see we do not believe that there is, and it is not so. In this case the vaccine is so effective that it is very blatant not to apply it, there can be no doubt. - What you would require to get the vaccine? -The experience of mandatory vaccination in some cases, especially in the U.S., has been counter-productive. I have my doubts, but of course in situations of risk for the public health, yes. Right now in countries such as Italy, with high transmission of cases is assuming a public health problem.

How all the virus infected droplets also settle on the surfaces that you touch the sick person and remain active and spread for several hours. For example, if the person touches their nose or mouth with your fingers and then touches the table or doorknob of a door is the virus.

Charity Unicef said increasing numbers of youngsters are unprotected against measles, which can cause disability and death.  Inaccurate and misleading anti-vaccination messages on social media are thought to be one reason why vaccination rates are plummeting.  Unicef's analysis shows that an estimated 169 million children around the world missed out on the first dose of the measles vaccine between 2010 and 2017 - an average of 21.1 million a year.  Simon Stevens, chief executive of NHS England, said: ""Getting yourself and your children vaccinated against killer diseases is essential to staying healthy, and vaccine rejection is a serious and growing public health timebomb.  ""With measles cases almost quadrupling in England in just one year, it is grossly irresponsible for anybody to spread scare stories about vaccines, and social media firms should have a zero tolerance approach towards this dangerous content.""  A list of 10 high-income countries, published by Unicef, shows the US has the highest number of children missing out on their first dose of the vaccine.  Between 2010 and 2017, some 2,593,000 youngsters in the US did not have their first dose of the vaccine.  The second most affected country was France, with 608,000 unvaccinated children over the same time period, followed by the UK, with 527,000.  Other countries including Argentina, Italy, Japan, Canada, Germany and Australia also made the top 10.  Unicef executive director Henrietta Fore said: ""The measles virus will always find unvaccinated children.  ""If we are serious about averting the spread of this dangerous but preventable disease, we need to vaccinate every child, in rich and poor countries alike.""  In the first three months of 2019, more than 110,000 measles cases were reported worldwide - up almost 300 per cent on the same period the year before.  An estimated 110,000 people, most of them children, died from measles in 2017, a 22 per cent rise on the previous year.  Children need two doses of the vaccine for protection, with the World Health Organisation (WHO) recommending 95 per cent coverage to achieve herd immunity, which offers protection against the disease spreading in the community.  In the UK in 2017, there were 259 measles cases in England, rising to 966 in 2018.  In 2016 and 2017, uptake of the first dose of the MMR vaccine in five-year-olds in the UK exceeded 95 per cent for the first time.  However, two doses of MMR vaccine are required to ensure full protection from measles.  Uptake of the second dose of MMR in five-year-old children is 88 per cent - well below the 95 per cent WHO target.  Figures from October to December 2018 show nine out of 10 children received their first dose by age two, rising to 95 per cent at age five.  By age five, 87 per cent had had their second dose, the quarterly figures showed.  Mary Ramsay, Public Health England's head of immunisations, said: ""The UK achieved WHO measles elimination status in 2017, so the overall risk of measles to the UK population is low.  ""However due to ongoing measles outbreaks in Europe, we will continue to see cases, particularly in unimmunised individuals.  ""This could lead to some spread in communities with low MMR coverage and in age groups with very close mixing.”  Globally, 85 per cent of children received their first dose in 2017 and 67 per cent got the second dose.  Unicef said the rates reflected ""lack of access, poor health systems, complacency, and in some cases fear or scepticism about vaccines"".  Health Secretary Matt Hancock said the rise in people not vaccinating had to be tackled, and that he was ""particularly worried"" about the spread of anti-vaccination messages online.  He told BBC Radio 4's Today programme that he was meeting social media companies on Monday to ""require that they do more to take down lies that are promoted on social media about the impact of vaccinations"".  He said: ""Vaccination is safe, it's very, very important for the public health - for everybody's health - and we're going to tackle it.""  Asked whether children who have not been vaccinated for measles should be excluded from schools, Prime Minister Theresa May's official spokesman said: ""I haven't seen anyone suggesting that.  ""The overall risk of measles to the UK population is very low. The World Health Organisation said the UK achieved measles elimination status as recently as 2017.  ""Overall vaccine uptake is also very high, at over 90 per cent, but we are continuously working to drive up immunisation rates.  ""We are reviewing the slight decline in uptake as part of the long-term plan for the NHS to push coverage even higher and Public Health England are developing new campaigns about the benefits of immunisation.""",415,"uk"

It has been two dead in Switzerland since the beginning of the year, according to the federal Office of public health, which underscores the importance of vaccination to prevent the spread of this highly contagious disease. The number of cases of measles among our Swiss neighbours was increasing this year, with 155 people infected, of which two lives were lost. A man in his thirties who had never been vaccinated before, died after having been infected by loved ones. He has been vaccinated 67 hours after exposure to the virus. ""But this vaccination post-expositionnelle arrived too late : he still developed measles,"" added the ministry, noting that he was death in him, very shortly after the onset of the first symptoms. The second case involved a man in his seventies whose immune system was weakened due to cancer. It is not known how he contracted the measles. He died a few days after the onset of a ""pneumonia due to measles,"" said the ministry. The ministry recalls that the measles vaccination is strongly recommended, emphasizing that it protects not only the person who receives it, but also the vulnerable who cannot be vaccinated for medical reasons by limiting the circulation of the virus in the population. Health authorities worldwide are concerned about the impact of the mistrust which spreads vis-a-vis vaccines, noting that there were more cases of measles in the world. The world Health Organization announced in April that the number of cases of measles had been multiplied by four in the first quarter of 2019, compared to the same period of the previous year, the Africa and the Europe being the most affected regions.

"3691","While the vaccine critics Andrew Wakefield with his Film, ""Vaxxed"" is touring through Germany and propagated that the measles vaccination to autism, trip, fall ill in Germany, people of the highly dangerous Virus. However, the allegations, the charges Wakefield, are baseless. Why fall for a human? A guest post by Dr. Anna Müllner. 160 people in Duisburg are sick with the measles, including 37 infants and 94 children. On average one out of a Thousand measles gets people sick, a brain skin inflammation. It is not unlikely that this serious complication leads to permanent damage such as intellectual disability or even a fatality. Even without these extreme consequences of measles are not a harmless childhood disease: measles cause a high fever, under the the Sufferers suffer greatly. The infection opens the door for more diseases, the abuse at every Tenth of the weakened body. All of this would be if all people were vaccinated. However, the measles-Mumps-rubella(MMR) vaccination is unpopular. Not innocent because Andrew Wakefield is a former doctor from the UK. Wakefield lost his medical license because he falsified a study to the MMR vaccine prove that he is triggering autism. Wakefield promoted his Thesis is nevertheless undeterred: an Unjustified way, he makes people afraid of a phenomenon that there is not. The result of unvaccinated children who are exposed to your desinformierten parents negligently, the risk of a measles illness, an intellectual disability and of death are. And unvaccinated children, the other children, who cannot yet be vaccinated, the risk of infection, a mental disability, and death suspend. Now, Wakefield is coming to Germany. With his Film Vaxxed, I have already reported on, it makes people more afraid of the MMR vaccine. RT English jumped on the train and takes the Film of the study counterfeiter in protection: He would only ask questions and to problems with multiple vaccinations clues.

Invited guests Dr. Alfred Längler, as well as Dr. Rainer könig, I. are. Längler is anthroposophic medicine at the community hospital Herdecke and followers of the so-called ""alternative medicine"".

Dr. Rainer Kundt from the health Department of Essen, said the last measles cases in the Ruhr area for the vaccination, will face the two men alone. It is to be hoped that he knows how to assert himself. At least he has science on his side. The film presentation in the food is positively macabre, considering that the 160 people in Duisburg should not be a measles sick, because of the MMR vaccination. But fewer and fewer people are sufficiently protected against measles and other diseases. Wakefields untenable rumor that MMR could cause vaccinations to autism, is certainly one of the reasons for this. The Film, ""Vaxxed"" is spread out this Thesis further. Wrong information is being sown among the people, and grow like a weed. Facts, studies, evidence-based medicine, all of that is thrown overboard. The post-factual age by Trump new rise, Wakefield will know how to use this wave. Those who suffer most are children, the comrades, the decisions of their parents, or the parents of your game, are at the mercy of are.

In-depth analysis of the numbers, here they jump to the eye some special features. Of all the cases examined, 214 were occurred only in the month of June. Except for the region of Basilicata, in all the Italian Regions, with the region of Lazio in the head followed by Lombardy and Emilia Romagna, there have been reported cases of measles. The national incidence is equal to 44.1 cases per million inhabitants, while the average age of the patients involved is 30 years. Considering the total, were reported 142 cases in children under 5 years of age, of which 51 had less than a year.

In 31% of cases, patients developed at least one complication and have been reported 80 cases among health care workers, while 36 were those among the school staff. Continuing with the analysis of the report, it turns out that over 80% of the cases occurred in people who have an age between 15 and 64 years.

Among other things, according to the information provided by the Ministry of Health with regard to 2018, continues to be a cause for concern the failure to achieve the target of 95% (necessary to guarantee immunity to the flock and to prevent the circulation of the disease) vaccination against measles, mumps and rubella in all age groups considered, despite the trend in increase.

Nationwide, the rate for the second vaccination is 67 percent. According to the Ministry, well 224.000 children should be in age from nine months to nine years vaccinated against measles. The infectious disease is highly contagious. The International Coverage of a minimum of 95 percent is the goal. This is the prerequisite for the measles spread completely to suppress the pathogen in the best case, to eradicate. In Romania the immunization Coverage has fallen in the past two years.

To understand the damage that can be caused by those that are to all effects of ""post-truth"", just look at the data provided this afternoon by the ministry of Health: from the month of January 2017 in the united states registered more than 700 cases of measles. A year ago there were only 220, which translates to an increase of over 230%. Not to mention that, always, in 2016, the cases overall were 844. The drama of the post truth applied to medicine.

More than half fall in the age group 15-39 years. And as if that wasn't enough were also notified several cases of transmission in health care and in health care workers. The cause of all this? The ministry has no doubts: ""The presence of pockets of susceptible populations, are not vaccinated or who has not completed the vaccination cycle at 2 doses. This - continues the note - is in large part due to the increasing number of parents who refuse the vaccination, despite the evidence established, and despite the measures of some regions that tend to improve the covers, interacting with the families and parents."" Get vaccinated against the demagogy Agreement between the state and the regions for a (proper) law on mandatory vaccinations “in Spite of the Plan of elimination of measles started in 2005 – said the minister, Beatrice Lorenzin - and the vaccination against measles is among those that are highly recommended and free of charge, in 2015, the vaccination coverage against measles in children at 24 months (cohort 2013) was 85,3% (with the lowest value equal to the 68% registered in the PA of Bolzano and the highest in Lombardy with the 92,3%), still far from the 95% that is the threshold value necessary to stop the circulation of the virus in the population. It is now essential – precise - quickly act with a commitment and a greater responsibility at all levels, from all of the institutions and of health professionals, to make this vaccination available, increasing the acceptance and demand from the population. Similarly, the regional administrations and health companies, as well as pediatricians and general practitioners should promote a campaign of further accountability on the part of parents and of people is not immune to all ages so do not give up this vital opportunity to prevent a disease that can be lethal.” On the topic also plays a role the ex-premier Matteo Renzi, who on Facebook writes: ""You have seen the data of the ministry of Health on measles? Crazy! In the first months of 2017, there is an increase of 230%. I say this from a parent before it is political: on vaccines not to be trifled with.

Well, in the photo you can see a newborn sick with the measles that is passed under the terrace of the antivaccinisti at the wrong time and is fighting for his life, grateful to the heroes that by exercising the 'freedom of choice' has allowed the virus will eventually infect.

""We had to wait. After data that showed the decline of vaccination below the threshold of safety - explain to the Agi - we would expect that that was only the first sign that there would be, sooner or later, a new wave of the epidemic. With a virus like measles (Paramyxovirus) which has a rate of contagiousness four times higher than that of the influence it is normal to see these rates increase so rapid. If the level of vaccination drops below a certain threshold of 95 percent is difficult to contain the spread of the virus.

Resorted to vast sets of data from the united States, Denmark, England and Wales before and after the vaccination generalizase in the 60's. The analysis revealed sharp decreases of the cases in children. In general, when the measles was propagated in non-vaccinated populations, up to half of all childhood deaths from infectious diseases had been the result of infections that occurred after having contracted the measles. Is more, the effects persisted. Mine explains that the best indicator of deaths not caused directly by measles was the total number of cases of measles during the past three years. This suggests that the children with measles were at more risk of dying from infections after three years. But these temporal relationships may not reveal the whole. ""In the end, are the epidemiologic associations,"" says Mina. ""You have to go into biology."" Here is where the two most recent studies that can help to resolve the intricacies of the viral attack. For this new work, the researchers studied non-vaccinated children between four and 17 years who attended schools protestant orthodox in the Netherlands. They took blood samples from students before with measles, and again after a measles outbreak in 2013.

The problem is that as a newborn, has barely any immune system. The disease is one of the most contagious diseases there is. Two hours after a sick person has left a room, there is infection still left in there. In Sweden, between 20 and 40 people have had measles in the last few years. Measles can be fatal. However, the researchers demonstrated in their studies is the way in which the mässlingsviruset while attacking the two different functions of the immune system and defense against diseases is becoming worse and worse. Measles impairs B-cells, which would otherwise make the antibodies that protect against bacterial infections and T-lymphocytes, which in normal cases has the potential to kill virusdrabbade cells. They show that it is the ability to make antibodies, and the ability to kill infected cells that are affected by the mässlingsvirus, "" says mr Andersson. It can be anything from 10 and up to 70 % of the immune system is lost and it can take up to three years before it could be re-created. Why is it so different, scientists still don't. However, there is a vaccine for the disease. In Sweden, it is included in the barnvaccinationsprogrammet.

The public health alert was issued by NHS Grampian following the boat trip which left Aberdeen in the evening of 7 October.  NHS Grampian and NHS Shetland confirmed in a joint statement that the two health boards were working with partners to investigate a single case of measles in an adult from Perth and Kinross, with links to Aberdeen and Shetland.  1 of 10 Adverts  The health board have advised passengers on the boat that night to be “aware of the symptoms and signs of measles and the action to take if you become ill”.  The NHS says that measles is a highly infectious viral illness that can be very unpleasant and sometimes lead to serious complications, although the effectiveness of vaccination has greatly reduced its prevalence in the UK.  Symptoms include fever, lethargy, a runny nose, conjunctivitis, a cough and a red, blotchy rash which starts at the head and spreads over the chest and limbs.  People with measles are infectious for around five days before the rash appears and until around four days after it appears.  Passengers are advised that if they develop symptoms then they should phone their GP to avoid sitting in a waiting room.  People who were on the boat deemed at a greater risk of measles have been asked to contact health services as soon as possible as they may require immediate treatment.  Vulnerable groups include pregnant women, babies under 12 months and people who have weakened immune systems, due to the likes of illness or treatment such as chemotherapy or steroids.  Doses of the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine are usually given out after a child’s first birthday and also before school age.  NHS Grampian said people already vaccinated with two doses are unlikely to need further action, unless they develop symptoms.  Passengers were also advised that if they are unsure if they have completed two doses of the MMR vaccine they should contact their GP practice to find out.  2 of 10 Adverts  In 2016 the World Health Organisation declared that the UK was measles free, but the country lost that status earlier this year following a rise in cases.  In a joint statement, NHS Grampian and NHS Shetland said: “Measles is a highly infectious viral illness which causes a range of symptoms including fever, coughing, and distinctive red-brown spots.  “The infection is easily spread and you can catch measles through direct contact with an infected person, or through the air when they cough or sneeze.  “Measles is most common among young children, but anyone who has not been fully immunised can catch it.  “The safest and most effective way of preventing measles is the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine. Two doses of MMR vaccine are required to ensure full protection.  “We would encourage everyone to make sure their vaccinations are up to date. It’s never too late to get vaccinated.

We can not force people to be vaccinated in mass, "" he said, and there is no solution by force, but we can fine those who still refuse to get vaccinated. In December he had forbidden children are not vaccinated to go to school, but the ban was ignored, and the result is that the infection has taken speed: twenty-one people ended up in the hospital, five in intensive care, and last week there were seventy-nine new cases – not to mention those that are kept hidden. No one imagines inspectors around the streets of Williamsburg (a neighbourhood hit) to check if the loops or not they have the certificate of vaccination, and stuff that would end up in the supreme Court the following day for violation of constitutional rights, but if a child gets measles, they could get checks fast on his classmates. The responsibility for this situation is a little book of forty pages with a title very neutral which leaves imagine the content, “The Vaccine Safety Handbook”, and circulates in a community of ultra-orthodox jews of Brooklyn. The little book is printed by a self-styled organization for the health of children, the Peach (Parents Educating and Advocating for Children's Health) and do not recommend parents ultra-orthodox to vaccinate children: 'vaccines are the biggest danger to the public health, cause autism and contain cells of fetuses aborted”. It is a movement in the minority, the rabbis say that vaccines are perfectly legitimate from the religious point of view – to comply with all the requirements to be kosher – and the majority of the three hundred thousand ultra-orthodox jews who live in the state of New York is already vaccinated, but the fringe of antivaccinisti points to scare everyone: “All vaccines contain DNA of rat, monkey and pig,” writes via e-mail one of the propagandists of the Peach, and then they are unclean. This crap runs, is read in, sowing the panic. The result is that a yeshiva in the heart of Brooklyn has ignored the ban on the entry to unvaccinated children, and has become a hotbed for forty new cases. In Rockland, one of the counties of the state of New York, where the presence of ultra-orthodox jews is more numerous, the local authorities have forbidden to children not vaccinated, the entry of not only the school, but any public space. Last week, however, a judge suspended the ordinance for issues of constitutionality. The ultra-orthodox jews New York – about three hundred thousand people – are not the only ones to have problems with vaccines. From the other side of the country in Seattle, the measles has exploded recently because the vaccines are rejected by the people with the political ideas of the left – view with suspicion any advice or taxation that you come from the government. In Texas, are the conservatives to be wary of vaccines. To each his own reason, the consequence is the same: the immunity of the flock falls below the warning threshold and the contagion spreads. Now it's up to Brooklyn and especially Williamsburg, which is the area the hipsters of New York, where the mysticism of the fighetteria also healthy flows of power: the supermarkets sell coconut water juice cold from organic plantations for eight dollars less than a liter, do breakfast with a croissant costs ten dollars and is crossed by the line G of the tube, that is where the passengers are reading more books – Milan Kundera, and political essays, mica libracci commercial.

"5790","– Healthcare providers are starting to with urgency a complex campaign of vaccination against measles that aims to reach 67.000 children in Ituri, in the Democratic Republic of Congo's northeast, a region devastated by armed conflict, which is currently also the centre of the second outbreak of ebola in the deadliest ever recorded. In the largest african Country this year have been reported at least 1.981 deaths caused by measles, more than 2/3 of which are among children less than 5 years. To 23 June, were reported approximately 115.000 cases of suspected measles, many more compared to the 65,000 recorded in 2018. Ituri, one of the two provinces (the other is North Kivu affected by the ebola since the beginning of the epidemic about a year ago, has logged over 5,400 cases and 50 deaths.“For the thousands of families living in idp camps overcrowded and unhealthy, the threat combo of ebola and measles is unprecedented, "" says the UNICEF representative in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Edouard Beigbeder - we have little time to prevent a potentially huge loss of lives”. The first locations in which to begin vaccinations against the measles are 4 idp camps in Bunia, Ituri, in which there has been in recent weeks an influx of families forced to flee because of the fighting. The border of a field, near the hospital of Bunia is less than 100 metres from a day care centre for ebola. It is also less than 3 kilometres from the areas of Bunia, in which there were 5 cases of ebola since the beginning of the epidemic, 2 of which are in the 3 weeks passed. It is thought that up to 400,000 people are displaced inside Ituri, the majority of whom are women and children. Many people live in about 35 camps spread throughout the province, in an area virtually inaccessible due to insecurity. The fighting between the various armed groups have damaged or destroyed up to half of the health facilities and schools in the province. “In the north-eastern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo is one of the worst humanitarian crises of today. Both because of the measles, the ebola or the reality of living in a camp for internally displaced, children are at serious risk. We must do all we can to protect them,” said Beigbeder. The measles campaigns are also planned for the areas health of Tchomia and Nyankunde. The 8th of July, had occurred 2.428 cases of ebola, with 1,641 deaths, approximately 30% of cases among children.Because of the ebola epidemic, the vaccination campaign against measles should provide extra measures to protect against infection, and a triage meticulous. Health care workers must wear gowns to prevent contact with blood or other body fluids. The team will include an additional health care professional who will assess and refer any suspect case of ebola, will control the temperatures and monitor hand washing and other safety measures. A further level of complexity is represented by the fact that some of the early symptoms of ebola – fever, redness around the eyes, diarrhea – are virtually indistinguishable from those of measles, malaria, and cholera – all diseases spread, especially in places with displaced heavily congested.",401,"italy"

"42104","""We vaccinate children, and the follow-up they had been sick,"" says Joel Kamavu at a hospital just outside of Goma in the eastern democratic republic of the Congo. Mässlingsepidemin has claimed the lives of more than 5,000 people killed this year, more than twice as many people who have so far died in the ongoing ebolautbrottet in the democratic republic of the Congo. The reason is the lack of care and the difficult security situation in the country, where the health workers are being killed by the guerrillas. The goal is to get the time to immunize 19 million children before the end of the year. The Interior has kept all of its schools are currently closed due to a large mässlingsutbrott, and during the two days, there will be no public services at all in order to catch the jab, all of the stillahavsön. According to the world health Organization's new report, so does the disease dramatically worldwide. Last year, there were 140 000 people, and there are children in the five worst-hit. In addition to that, it is an extremely communicable virus can be fatal as it can also make the child deaf, blind, or result in serious damage to the brain. Nearly nine out of every ten children in the world will get its first mässlingsspruta, however, fewer than seven out of ten, the other of which will provide full protection. Mässlingsutbrott is rampant, not just in poor countries but also in high-income countries like the united states, for example, the united kingdom, Greece, hungary, and the Czech republic lost its status as the mässlingsfria the last year. ""We are seeing an upsurge of myths regarding the vaccine, globally, and in particular of the measles vaccine, which is very worrying,"" says Kate O'brian, who is head of the WHO's vaccination programme.

"1559","The child is four years old and from Copenhagen. Found a new case of measles in Denmark. It writes the Danish Agency for Patient safety in a press release. This time, there is talk about a child of four years in the Copenhagen area, who have been diagnosed with the infectious disease. It disclosed that the child has stayed in the day care center and in the a & e department at Hvidovre Hospital in denmark Saturday 9. march, which has led the hospital to respond. - The director of Patient safety has made smitteopsporing and is in close contact with Hvidovre Hospital, says Jeppe Norgaard Rasmussen, senior physician at the Agency for Patient safety. - Hvidovre Hospital has already provided for, that persons who have stayed in the a & e department on Saturday 9. march between 11.15-16.15 has received information from the agency about the infection risk and the options for treatment. The parents of children in the person's institution has been informed about how they should behave. The affected child has not currently been traveling and have not had contact with known cases of measles. Therefore infection can be happened through an unknown source of infection in Denmark. That concludes the Statens Serums Institute in a press release, explaining that the child is infected with a different type of measles virus than those who was diagnosed with the disease earlier this year. The new case is therefore not part of the current outbreak with a total of six cases. Senior consultant Jeppe Rasmussen stresses further that those who have not received vaccine against the disease, must be aware of the symptoms. - If you are not vaccinated against measles or had the disease, and you suspect that you may be sick with measles, must call the doctor. You do not show up without appointment, since measles is one of the most contagious diseases there is, and you risk to infect others in the waiting room, says Jeppe Norgaard Rasmussen. - If you are not vaccinated or have had the disease, can be vaccinated up to three days after you are infected. You can get treatment with antibodies in up to six hours after the smittetidspunktet. Most people are vaccinated against measles or had the disease.

"5785","Measles: what you need to know the parents of The measles is a viral infection of infant self-limiting. The symptoms of measles include a prodromal phase (initial), which includes cough, runny nose, eye irritation, and fever, followed by waves of the general disease that will last from 4 to 10 days. 1 last from 4 to 10 days. Measles is contagious during the prodromal phase and during the 3-4 days after the onset. 1 Many cases of measles are benign and are not reported to public health departments. 2 Before the introduction of the program of mass vaccination against the measles, almost all of them tighten in the big man measles by the age of 15 years and strengthened the immune system. 1 In rare situations, measles can cause brain damage and death.3-4 The CDC, have published fatal cases of measles on the basis of those reported. However, around 90% of the cases of measles are benign and are not reported to the CDC.2 by Calculating the percentage of cases of fatalities on the basis of reported cases (which constitute only 10%), you obtain a percentage of cases is 10 times higher than that present in the general population. The analysis of the data present here is based on the total number of cases of measles (those reported and those not reported). Figure 1: cases of death from measles fell by 98% from 1900 to 1963, prior to the introduction of the vaccine. What are the risks? In the modern age, it is rare to suffer permanent disabilities or death due to measles in the United States. Between 1900 and 1963, the percentage of mortality due to measles has decreased from 13.3 per 100,000 to 0.2 per 100,000 among the general population, due to the improvement of the living conditions, nutrition and medical care - a decrease of 98% (Fig. 1).2-5 malnutrition, in particular vitamin A deficiency, represents the first cause about 90,000 deaths from measles a year in the underdeveloped countries.6 In the United States and in other developed countries, 75-92% of the cases of measles hospitalized record a intake low vitamin A. 7-8 research Studies and national measles have documented the following: 1 in 10,000 cases (0.01%) of measles can prove fatal. 3 From 3 to 3.5 out of 10,000 cases (from 0,03% to 0,035%) of measles end up in convulsions. 9 1 in 20,000 cases (the 0.005%) of measles end up in encephalitis. 4 1 in 80,000 cases (the 0.00125%) end up in a permanent disability from encephalitis from measles. 4 7 out of 1,000 cases (0.7%) were hospitalized. 10 From 6 to 22 to 1,000,000 cases (the 0,0006–0,0022%) of measles end up in panencefalite sclerosing subacute (SSPE).11 3. What kind of treatments are available for measles? Since the measles disappear on its own in most of the cases, normally are only necessary treatments and support. Therefore, they are considered as the following treatments: Rest, Hydration, High-dose vitamin A 12 Immunoglobulin (available for patients with compromised immune systems, such as those who are undergoing chemotherapy)13 The world health Organization (WHO) recommended to treat many cases of serious measles with a high dose of vitamin A, in the 50,000–TO 200,000 IU, orally for two consecutive days.13 There are benefits of contracting measles? Some studies suggest that a relationship exists between the infection of measles contracted in a natural manner, and a reduced risk of lymphomas, leukemia, Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, as well as a reduced risk of diseases topical such as hay fever, eczema and asthma.14-18 Furthermore, the infections of measles are associated with lower risk of mortality from cardiovascular disease in adulthood.19 On the other hand, infants born to mothers who contract natural measles, they are protected from contracting measles, due to the immunity of the mother for longer compared to infants born to mothers vaccinated.20 The measles vaccine? The measles vaccine was introduced in the U. S. A. in 1963, but only now is available as part of the vaccine against measles, mumps and rubella (MPR). This has significantly reduced the incidence of measles. However, the vaccine cannot prevent all cases of measles, as reported by cases of bankruptcy.21 The package insert of the pharmaceutical contains information about the ingredients contained in the vaccine, side effects, and the evaluations of the vaccine. For example, “the vaccine M-P-R II has not been evaluated for its potential risks to carcinogenic or mutagenic or impair fertility.”11 in Addition, it has not been proven that the risk of permanent damage and death from vaccine MPR are less than those caused by the measles (Fig. 2).22-23 Figure 2: The graph shows the death rate from measles prior to the introduction of the vaccine, when measles was a viral infection common in children, and compares it with the causes of death in children under 10 years old today. Therefore, in the stage of pre-vaccine, the death rate from measles per 100,000 was 0.9 for children under 10 years old. In 2015, the death rate per 100,000 for homicide was around 1.3, followed by cancer (2,0), SIDS (3,9), unintentional injuries (8,2), and congenital anomalies (13,6). The rate of death or permanent damage from vaccines MPR is not known since the research studies available are not able to establish it with sufficient accuracy.22-23, These reports are only for informational use and should not be used as medical advice.

There is a lot of measles in Europe. The deputy county medical Eva Lindhusen Lindhé, describes measles as a highly contagious. Photo credit: ANDERS NETSHAGEN IN the summer, it was reported that not less than three cases of measles in the west of Sweden, and as an assistant county medical officer in the tri-city area, She Lindhusen Lindhé, the outbreak will be stopped a lot due to the high percentage of swedes who are still vaccinated against the disease. – The case was good too. There were three cases that were found, and in the fourth case, in which we are to believe that the person had been infected, but the person disappeared before we were able to observe the disease, "" she says. Can be transmitted as long as The fourth, the person must have been a person who showed symptoms consistent with the measles, but the person was on a visit to Sweden over the summer, and later left the country. Eva Lindhusen Lindhé, describes measles as a highly contagious. According to her, persons are infected in the summer by simply sitting in the same waiting room as the source the less of the outbreak. It is a very contagious disease. Breathe in the same air can become infected, and up to two hours after a person has left a room, you can be infected through the air in a room, "" she said.

"2185","387 cases of measles have been reported since November, and a woman died in mid-February. The vaccinologue François Vié le Sage reminds us to Express how to keep up to date with his vaccines. The case of a woman who died as a result of measles in Poitiers, mid-February, has pushed the minister of Health to respond. This Wednesday, Agnes Buzyn asked ""to all the people who are not vaccinated or who have not vaccinated their children to do a ""catch-up"". ALSO READ >> fatal Case of measles: measles 'immunization is an act of collective"" François Vié le Sage, a pediatrician and vaccinologue, responsible for the group vaccinology at the Afpa (Association française de pédiatrie outpatient), recall the information you need to know about the measles immunization. And the steps to be taken if you do not know or are unsure of your status. How do I know if it is vaccinated? The first thing to do is go look in the health book. If it is adult, it is necessary to have received two doses of vaccines containing measles, is the Rouvax [which will no longer be available from April], which contains only the measles, or the vaccine, trivalent measles-mumps-rubella (MMR). If the recommendations have been met, we must have had an injection 12 months and a second between 16 and 18 months. READ ALSO >> Soon 11 vaccines required for children? ""We have no choice"" If one has already had measles, as it is marked in the logbook and signed by a physician, it can be considered to be protected. If ever one had received only one dose, and that it is born since 1980, it is necessary to have a second, regardless of the age. In the measles outbreak of 2011, 85% of those affected had not had any vaccine and approximately 13% had a dose. This means that vaccines do not take. When you take the second dose, we get these 13%, which are not negligible. What to do if we don't have his book? If you don't book or that one has a doubt, it is better to make a vaccine dose, or preferably two, regardless of age, with a minimum of a month of interval between the two doses. If one is born prior to 1980, a time when measles was flying so wild, and covered two thirds of births, it all depends on the context. A dose of prevention may be sufficient, but in a context like that of Bordeaux, where he has a home, it is best to do the two doses if there is doubt. We can also know if one has been vaccinated by serology [in asking the treating physician]. If he has been in contact with a sick person, one has 72 hours to get vaccinated and it is better to do so rather than wait for the results. Is there a risk to being vaccinated again if it has already been? There is no risk, because it is a live vaccine, it is to say that it is a microbe that has been attenuated, which does not give the disease but the immunity. If one has already been vaccinated, the vaccine won't help, but there is no risk of adverse effect, and an advantage is that it can protect against other diseases, such as mumps, of which we see a re-emergence at this time.

In Lombardy, since 2000, peak epidemic, there were six: in 2002, in 2003, in 2008, in 2011, in 2013 and 2017. If sixteen years ago, the band most affected was that of children aged five to nine years, the last year the largest number of infections was recorded among the 30-34 year olds. People who were not vaccinated as children, they have “avoided” the disease (and also thanks to the coverage guaranteed in the childhood more “critical”) until you have found to cope with it in adulthood. The regional councillor for Welfare Giulio explore the old takes the opportunity to remind the lombardi that have passed the age of compulsory a fact, if not new, little-known fact: ""our centres and vaccination offer the free vaccination for measles also to all the adults. It is particularly recommended for subjects at risk for disease"". The occasion is the dissemination of the results of the latest surveys conducted by the Welfare of the Palazzo Lombardia, the ""recoveries"" of non-vaccinated related to the introduction of the new compulsory school. We speak of the population between 0 and 16 years old, a million 409.500 between children and young people in Lombardy. The two references are considered tetanus, as an indicator of the coverage of the chromium (which also includes polio, diphtheria, hepatitis B, pertussis, and haemophilus B), and measles with regard to the trivalent (which also protects against mumps and rubella). In the case of chromium, at December 31, were discovered still 121.138 lombardi under 16. On the 20th of last march, that number was reduced to 93.729, equal to 15% of the affected population. With regard to the trivalent measles, mumps and rubella, by the end of 2017 at the penultimate week of march, the ""defaulting"" to vaccines required to attend the kindergarten and the school are passed from 132.972 to 108.740, equal to 12,9% of the population affected by vaccinations (beginning in the second year of life). ""The analysis of the data – said the councillor explore the old – indicates that both of the vaccinations we are well on the way to retrieve the non-vaccinated, and to reach the coverage of 95% which the world health Organization indicates necessary to obtain the immunity of the flock, especially in regard to the cohorts from 2011 to 2015.

"2188","Measles, what is it ? Measles is a viral disease highly contagious. It is spread by coughing, sneezing, and nasal secretions. Runny nose (rhinitis), conjunctivitis with tearing, swelling of eyelids, redness of the eyes and discomfort at the sight of the light, cough, severe fatigue and high fever are typical first symptoms. After four days, the onset of a rash : small red spots appear first on the face before going down behind the ears, on the forehead, on the cheeks, then on the neck, the upper body to reach the feet around the third day. If the rhinitis and the conjunctivitis will disappear, and the patient is still very tired and coughing still strongly. The rash disappears after about a week. Measles can cause serious health complications : laryngitis, otitis media, pneumonia or encephalitis (acute inflammation of the brain) which can be fatal and lead to death of the patient. The vaccination, the best way to contain the disease, the measles vaccine is safe, very effective and inexpensive. To eradicate the disease, it should be that 95% of the population is vaccinated. Yet, today, the immunization coverage is around 80%. We are still far from the goal. The reluctance of some people to be vaccinated or to vaccinate their children explains the upsurge in the number of reported cases. Since 1 January 2019 : - 350 people in France have contracted the measles, 100 patients had to be hospitalized - 27 had a lung disease (a serious complication of the state of health) - 1 person is deceased. According to the public Health agency of France, 9 patients out of 10 were poorly or not vaccinated. Reminder : only one person can contaminate twenty. A few days ago, UNICEF and the World Health Organization (WHO) launched a cry of alarm, pointing out that nearly 229 000 cases of measles had been reported in the world in 2018, up from about 170,000 in 2017. States have until April to announce the cases reported in them in 2018, the figure for last year could be in the final even more impressive. 11 vaccines mandatory from 2018 To stem this public health problem, 11 vaccines, including measles, are compulsory since 1 January 2018. As a reminder : the vaccine against measles is effective by the injection of a dose at 12 months of age and another between 16 and 18 months If the number of patients has already drastically declined (350 persons in 2019 against 966 in 2018 to the same period of the year), the awareness still needs to be done to reach a vaccination coverage of 95% and, finally, the eradication of the disease.",391,"france"
"2189","The vaccine supply of measles has been depleted in two days in Kiev, after the deaths of three people at the beginning of the month of January. In a single day, 150 children went through the public hospital n°7 of Kiev to get the vaccine. The parents are concerned. In early January, three people died of measles in Ukraine. The risk of the spread also concerned about the authorities, to the point that some schools have decided to extend the school holidays and to prohibit the enrolment of children who are not vaccinated to avoid further contagions. Result: parents have rushed into this public hospital in the centre of Kiev to try to protect their offspring, and this caused a temporary shortage of vaccines. ""It's three times more or four times more than usual,"" notes the director of the hospital, Oksana Goutova. ""In two days, we have exhausted our supply of the vaccine measles-oreillon-rubella planned for three months,"" says a pediatrician for a private medical centre in Kiev. A too low vaccination coverage last year, 4782 cases of this disease, including five fatalities, were recorded in the ex-soviet republic. In 2006, 40 000 people had been contaminated. And since the beginning of January, nearly 2,100 Ukrainians were contaminated: three are dead, including two children.

In 2016, the measles vaccination coverage has been 42% for the first dose received in a year, the third lowest in the world in 2016, according to Unicef. Last year, this figure rose to 93% for the first dose and 91% for the second, six years old. But the delay accumulated for years is far from being bridged. ""We are making progress, but we have not yet settled everything,"" explains the Unicef representative in Ukraine Giovanna Barberis, which states that a rate of 98% is needed to prevent hospitalizations, massive and fatal cases. Fake vaccination certificates The figures put forward by the Ukrainian authorities, however, are to be taken with a grain of salt. The vaccination is in principle mandatory -even if no sanction is provided for those who do not. But parents wary prefer to pay bribes to doctors to obtain false certificates of vaccination, which skews the statistics. According to a study, 52% of them would have had recourse in 2016.

"20015","I woke up to more press coverage of the measles vaccine today. The gist of the stories, which have been appearing in our papers every day for nearly three weeks, is that the World Health Organisation (WHO) is really worried about the decline in measles vaccine uptake. You've been following this right? UK Health Secretary Matt Hancock has gone from demanding that Social media firms delete anti-vaxxers (that was two weeks ago), to confirming that he will not rule out introducing mandatory vaccination for the UK's children. Hancock declared that those of us who question vaccine safety ""have blood on our hands."" Nice guy. Not a peep from the press. I won't bore you with my explanation of so called herd immunity.  You know as well as I do that it is junk science. 82,500 people contracted measles in Europe in 2018. There were 72 deaths, meaning that 0.087272% of those afflicted by the virus expired. Europe's current population is over 740 million people. The WHO claims that the unvaccinated are a threat to the immunocompromised. Immunocompromised folks have a faulty immune system. The WHO tells monstrous lies that go unchallenged in the press like that 1 in 20 children who contract measles get pneumonia. Liars. They tell horror stories of brain swelling and convulsions in many measles afflicted children. Liars. They lie and they get away with it again and again. The parade of brainless beauties who present the daily news shows never think to ask them for proof.  If like me you are over 40, you'll remember that everybody got the measles when you were young. We all got it. Every kid had it. Most of us were thrown on top of a child who had it, so that we could get it out of the way. Somewhere in the world a millennial has read that last sentence and keeled over. Yes measles parties were really a thing, same goes for chicken pox. Rather than shun a sick kid, parents would phone one another and organise a play date. Do you remember children getting pneumonia, encephalitis or dying? No you don't remember that because it didn't happen. They got a rash, maybe a fever and felt uncomfortable for a week or so. The GP's of yesteryear believed in exposing your children to these viruses. They knew that it helped the body to build a natural defence system. When confronted with this fact, modern doctors smile smugly and tell you that there have been advances in medicine.  Advances in medicine, really? The oft-mentioned future Mrs. Allen visited her GP last week. She's not been sleeping well, is overworked and a little stressed. She's lost weight too, not much mind, just a little. Her NHS doctor spent 5 minutes with her, didn't weigh her, didn't carry out a blood test and after five minutes, sent her on her way. Advances in medicine? My doctor back in Waterford, who is in her eighties and has been practising medicine for decades, spends at least 45 minutes with her patients, drinks tea with them, talks to them and tries to get to the root of their problems. Good luck trying to get a prescription out of her. The pharma reps must hate her. She's a dying breed. Today, they tap a keyboard, wait for a result, give you a kick on the arse and a lollipop and send you on your way with a prescription. Five minutes tops.  There are targets to be met remember. Advances in medicine? Are you shitting me? I have not exaggerated Caroline's surgery visit. That's how it happened. Didn't even weigh her. She was offered a prescription for a mild antidepressant. She declined and left.  We are rushing headlong into this Dystopian future I keep banging on and on about on the radio show. Who'd have believed that we would ever reach a time when a politician could threaten the nations families with compulsory vaccination? Well we've arrived now eh? And what of the consequences for those who resist? Will they stop at kicking the kids out of school? Course not, they'll want to remove the child from his/her parents on the grounds that they are unfit. Academics and parents In Ireland have been calling parents of unvaccinated kids ""child abusers."" That'll catch on here too. The odds against your child dying, getting pneumonia or encephalitis are astronomical. It's odds on however, that the unvaccinated child will be stronger, healthier and more active as they develop. So why would you want to compromise a healthy immune system with a toxic tidal wave of pus and shit that they DO NOT need? Why indeed.",390,"uk"
"3677","Not everywhere in the world, people have access to a measles vaccine. In Germany, however, already. The number of measles infections has eight, according to preliminary data from the world health organization, WHO, almost tripled. In the first six months of the year, WHO, more than 364 counted 800 infections, almost three times in comparison to the prior year period and a new maximum level since 2006.

Meanwhile, the United States, where the measles were eliminated, more than 1000 diseases and, therefore, the highest number for 25 years reported. In Germany, Barmer Ersatzkasse has reported just a few days ago in their medicines report of significant gaps in children of primary school age. 11.2 per cent of six-year-olds are not vaccinated, therefore, entirely against the measles. Thus, the gaps in the protection of the Little ones are greater in this country than previously thought. Measles apply in many places as a children's disease, but can affect people of all ages and the most serious complications cause to the death. There is a safe and effective vaccine that can prevent diseases and deaths.

The people who are infected with measles transmit the disease 4 days before the appearance of the rash and until 4 days after appearance of rash. The incubation period is about 10 days. The symptoms are: fever, runny nose, conjunctivitis, cough and rash.

The disease, which has returned to countries where it was eradicated, such as the United Kingdom, ""is having a devastating impact, causing massive losses of lives, affecting national economies and creating problems in healthcare systems"", he warned at a press conference the director of immunization of the WHO, Kate O'brien. The number of cases overall has tripled (to the mid of this year were in excess of 360,000 in the whole world) and have been declared outbreaks in the americas (Brazil and Venezuela), where the measles was considered eradicated. According to the mexican doctor Alejandro Cravioto, president of the group of experts on immunization, which met this week at the headquarters of the WHO to analyse the vaccination campaigns in the world, ""the idea that we can eradicate measles is now very far away"", so that efforts should be enhanced. For the expert, one of the challenges is to make better known the fact that they are necessary two doses of the measles vaccine during childhood to an effective immunization, while the first is inoculated to 86 percent of the children on the planet, second only reaches 70 per cent. Dr. O'brien also stressed that in some countries there are communities that do not vaccinate children ""for religious reasons, certain beliefs or a lack of understanding about the safety of inoculations,"" an allusion to the movement antivacunas that has revived in countries like the USA. In this sense, it noted that in that country, with 1,500 cases of measles in the first seven months of this year, ""there are communities where vaccination coverage is very low and the virus spreads rapidly"", despite the fact that in general the campaigns of immunization to protect most of the american children.

The charity Unicef said increasing numbers of youngsters are being left at risk.  It said that vaccination rates are plummeting, with inaccurate and misleading anti-vaccination messages on social media thought to be among the reasons.  Public Health England figures show that between April 2010 and December 2018, 1,667 children in the city had not received their first vaccination against measles, mumps and rubella by the age of five.  Two jabs are required by the age of five to provide full immunity, and a further 1,850 children in Peterborough did not receive the second jab.  It means that the overall vaccination rate over the period was 86.7 per cent, significantly below the 95 per cent the World Health Organisation says is needed to prevent the disease spreading in the community, and leaving a total of 3,517 children without full protection against measles.  Unicef’s analysis estimated that 169 million children around the world missed out on the first dose of the measles vaccine between 2010 and 2017 – an average of 21.1 million a year.  More than half a million of them were thought to be in the UK.  The most recent figures, for October to December 2018, show that uptake of both doses of the MMR vaccine in England’s five-year-old children is 87%.  There were 966 measles cases in England in 2018, up from 259 in 2017.  Measles is highly contagious. The symptoms are unpleasant, including a rash and fever, and there can be serious complications in some cases.  The Health Secretary Matt Hancock recently said he would not rule out banning unvaccinated children from schools.  When asked if he would follow measures attempted in France and the US to tackle measles, he said: “I wouldn’t rule out anything but I don’t think we’re there yet.  In America they tried to do this and the courts stopped them so it can be complicated, but really it’s people’s responsibility as a parent to do the right thing – the right thing for their own children as well as, of course, the right of the community that everybody lives in.”  Mary Ramsay, Public Health England’s head of immunisations, said: “The UK achieved WHO measles elimination status in 2017, so the overall risk of measles to the UK population is low.  “However due to ongoing measles outbreaks in Europe, we will continue to see cases, particularly in unimmunised individuals.  “This could lead to some spread in communities with low MMR coverage and in age groups with very close mixing.  “Measles can be extremely serious, so make sure you and your family are protected.”",388,"uk"

"5798","Five times more than last year: in April, cases of measles registered in Italy have been 385, and from the beginning of the year 1920. In 2016 there have been about 800. Are the data in the weekly bulletin issued by the Surveillance System Integrated Measles and Rubella of the Iss and the Ministry of Health. 34 out of 100 cases this year have had at least one complication, 40% of the sick was hospitalized. Among the complications, the most common was diarrhea, but have also been reported stomatitis, keratoconjunctivitis, pneumonia (10.3% of cases), hepatitis (9,3%), respiratory failure (9%). And, more rarely, thrombocytopenia, seizures, encephalitis. We talked with Giovanni Maga, Virologist of the institute of molecular genetics of the CNR. ""The increase in recorded cases of measles – he explains – is not unexpected. The alarm was launched at the beginning of the year, still full of the possible season of the epidemic, it was reported that the number of cases would have increased, and now we see the real effects of the decreased immunity"". What are the causes? ""One of the main ones is the decrease in the number of children vaccinated, which has meant that the population became more susceptible. The measles is one of the virus more infectious, 5 times more than the flu: it is very easy to spread, causing a significant number of infections"". To worry about are the possible complications. ""In many cases, the disease heals spontaneously, but if the number of infections is significant, increases statistically also one of the serious complications, among which there is also death. If the cases are few, and to a matter of statistics does not record deaths, but if there are tens of thousands, you can get at hundreds of the dead"". How can we avoid that? ""We need to emphasize the fact that vaccination is a protection for those vaccinated, but also for the people close to them: it is a social obligation that contributes to the welfare of society."" But today there is a lot of mistrust about vaccines. ""The reasons are essentially two: one is the lack of information, also due to shortcomings in communication on the part of the institutions. In a society like that of today, in which, because of tools like Google or Wikipedia, there is an increased awareness, it is important to give you the tools to understand information and to select sources: we must continue to explain why vaccinations are useful"". And the other reasons? ""In some cases the structures involved in the administration of vaccines, also to the overload of work and shortage of resources, we can invoke several times the families, and will require some commitment on the part of the parents, who must remember to bring the child to vaccination. You can try to improve the capacity of health facilities, but you should insist in asking families to enter, among their priorities, even vaccinations, which have become one of the things to do and can't do without."" Some fear the adverse reactions to vaccines. ""The reports of the risks have been exaggerated to art by some sectors of opinion: vaccines have the lowest number of adverse reactions. Are not even drugs, or drugs are more natural are injected proteins that arise from viruses and bacteria. According to the data of the Aifa, the Italian drug agency, which records adverse events, vaccines are among the pharmaceutical preparations more safe. If an case on 100 thousand can give an anaphylactic reaction is severe, the probability of getting sick is up to 100 times higher. And the cases of serious reactions that can give serious consequences are one on a million"".",387,"italy"

For the first time, we have shown how the deadly measles virus, the immune system is ""reset,"" in which people are more likely to be new infections.

"5803","After learning that the Centers for disease Control and Prevention of Diseases of the Department of Health in the us have issued a warning for american citizens departing for Italy ( I have several family members in America - New York), outbreaks of measles in our country, and then the recommendation to travellers to get vaccinated and be sure to take every possible precaution, such as washing hands and avoid touching mouth, nose and eyes, and because of the casuistry of our days, door alarm, I said that it was necessary to have on hand in news of a safe reference. On the other hand, from the beginning of the year 2017, according to the official data of the Ministry of Health there have been in Italy many cases of measles, a disease that seems to have disappeared and which have suddenly taken to deal with the newspapers, the television, and for which the minister of health Lorenzin has launched the alarm no later than march 16 of this year. And then news and data to be scientifically certain for all of our readers, -the medicine is one of the most ancient arts-, we have asked Prof. Pasquale Ferrante, Virologist of world-renowned medical Scientist and Professor at the University of Milan. Professor, I ask whether the numbers for the cases of measles seen are really worrying and as ever continue to increase. The situation of measles in our country is certainly a cause for concern because in just the first three months of the year, namely from 1 January to 26 march, was diagnosed with 1010 cases of the disease in the face of 866 and 266 cases observed, respectively, in 2016 and in 2015. It must be said also that in 2013 and in 2014 had already reached higher numbers with 2258 and 1694 cases. However, it is evident that we are a phenomenon of the unexpected, the return of measles which presents itself under the form of epidemics, which do not diminish with the passing of time but seem to be increasing, also because the epidemics occur when the number of vaccinated in a population does not reach the 95%. We are far from the numbers of the year ’60 and the ’70's, when it was not yet available, the vaccine anti-measles, but because measles is a disease that can be serious is not accattabile that there are many cases in Italy. What are the causes of this return of the measles? The main cause is definitely due to the fact that in our country, in analogy to what is observed in some economically developed countries and similar to our own, there is a strong disaffection against the vaccine anti-measles and in general against all the vaccines. There are movements of opinion, which includes some professionals in the healthcare area, proclaiming the dangers of vaccines and the fact that it would be more important to vaccinate children or young adults as there are more risks of illness, based on a concept without foundation, that tends to say that the infectious diseases including the measles have disappeared or not dangerous. Also the idea that if everyone would vaccinate, I can't vaccinate my child because it will never meet the virus, is wrong, because if more than 5% of children are not vaccinated, there is risk that they will be in contact with the virus and develop the disease. Often hears or reads that the vaccine anti-measles causes autism, what do you think about? The association between the vaccine antimorbillo, which is usually administered along with the vaccine, anti-mumps, and rubella (MMR), and autism has been hypothesized for some work but absolutely excluded from a large number of searches and is definitely one of the reasons of non-vaccination of many children, but as I said there are no scientific evidence to support this hypothesis. It should be emphasized that autism, which is predominantly characterized by abnormalities of behavior, especially of the relational sphere, to its clinical characteristics, it is diagnosed in children starting from 18 months. The fact that this age coincides with that of vaccination MPR has led some to hypothesize the presence of a causal link, but as said, this possibility has been excluded from the scientific literature national. What are the characteristics of the Italian subjects affected by measles? From a demographic point of view it is interesting to observe that there is an age different from the past, as 26% of the cases aged less than 1 year and 14 years, while 57% of those affected are between 15 and 39 years and 17% between 40 and 64 years. Before the introduction of vaccination the vast majority of cases of measles was observed between children and adolescents, with very few cases among adults. The current data are probably derived from a side by the different age composition of the Italian population which, as is well known, has a low birth rate and is now composed of a smaller percentage of children than in the past and on the other by the fact that they can be affected by the measles than those who have not been vaccinated. Why is it important to get vaccinated against the measles and other infectious diseases? Always it is well known that measles is a disease that can give significant risk to health. Measles is characterized by fever and by the appearance on the skin of a rash, maculo papular, and that is, the spots, often confluent, red in color, but this rash is associated with a high frequency, a series of complications which can also be very serious. In developing countries, even the 25% of children affected by measles may go to meet death in consequence of the disease, while in countries with good health care and high socio-economic conditions of the fatality from measles is very low. However, it is important to remember that in subjects who have measles, it is frequent the appearance of pneumonia, otitis, hepatitis, diarrhea and a whole host of other symptoms that need proper medical care and often hospitalization. With a frequency of about one case in a thousand, measles can cause a severe encephalitis, which is a neurological disease that can lead to death of the patient or cause severe neurological deficits persistent lead to heavy disability as well as motor and cognitive. In addition, the measles virus, at a distance of approximately 10 years from the disease esantematica can cause, in one case for every million inhabitants, another serious neurological disease called Panencefalite Sclerosing Subacute (PESS) that is always lethal and that, as I said, it manifests itself in incredibly after a latency period of 10 years. The cases of measles that have been observed this year and in the past few years are more subtle than in the past? The data collected from the Istituto Superiore di Sanita and by the Italian Ministry of Health, indicate that the cases of measles that you are observing in these months are characterized by a major gravity and by the presence of numerous complications. The complications are the same as that observed before vaccination, but because they are affected by the measles, subjects with a higher age, they tend to have a greater severity to the point that a whopping 41% percent of the cases were hospitalized, with the result that 113 cases of measles were observed between health professionals namely doctors, nurses and other professional figures. What are the conclusions and which advice can you draw from these considerations? I think it's appropriate to remind everyone that measles is not a disease banal, but to the contrary, it is a disease that can be very severe, with complications that can lead to important problems, and that, even in a country like Italy, with a Health System well-functioning, it can bring a number is even if it is limited to patients with the death. It should also be noted that with the exception of Smallpox, has been eradicated and no longer exists, all the other infectious diseases for which we vaccinate, and that is, for example, polio, hepatitis B, diphtheria, and others have not disappeared, and then the viruses and bacteria that cause them can still infect anyone who is not protected by vaccination causing diseases that can have consequences, even lethal. In conclusion, the recommendation is to follow the advice of Healthcare Organizations Italian and foreign, and to vaccinate at the appropriate time, according to the appropriate calendars, children, and adults for whom the vaccines are indicated.

"533","A woman aged 32 years died of measles in a hospital in the west of France, leading the health authorities to restart messages in favor of vaccines in a country wary with regard to them. This young mother of a family, not vaccinated, died on February 10, according to the Centre hospitalier universitaire (CHU) de Poitiers, in the region of New-Aquitaine. ""I took her to the er on the 1st of February, it was blue, it had 41°C fever ! My daughter was one of those children who had missed vaccination. At that time we were told that it was not necessary"", testified in the local press, the mother of the young woman, Yolande Riquelm. This death comes at a time when France had just legislate to increase from three to eleven the number of routine vaccinations, including measles, for children, after heated debate. The epidemic of measles which is raging in New-Aquitaine since the beginning of November 2017 ""persists"" in this region, according to the regional Agency of health that identifies to this day 269 confirmed cases, including one in four (66) required hospitalization, and four of the patients icu admission. These numbers have more than doubled since January 24. The announcement of the death on Tuesday ""reinforces the need for the entire population, to quickly check his vaccination, the only way to stop the epidemic,"" said ARS, recalling that there is ""no treatment to cure this disease"" is highly contagious, since a sick person can infect up to 20 people. ""Measles is not a benign disease, especially to infants and adults, and can lead to respiratory complications (pneumonia) and neurological (meningoencephalitis) that can have very serious consequences,"" insists the ARS. According to the ARS, ""the immunisation coverage in New Aquitaine is currently insufficient to cope with this outbreak : according to the public Health data in France, it varies from 70.8% to 81% depending on the departments when the World Health Organisation recommends 95 per cent coverage"". ""It is a reflection of the history of vaccination in France: there are people 20 to 40 years old who grew up without being vaccinated, and now find themselves non-immune. There remains a huge reservoir of unimmunized"", explained to AFP Daniel Lévy-Bruhl, of the Public Health agency of France. France, the country of Louis Pasteur, the pioneer of vaccination, is also the one where we mistrust the most vaccine: 41% of French people surveyed in an international study of 2016 believe they are not safe, a world record. The anti-vaccine consider them dangerous (particularly because of their adjuvants, particularly aluminum) and are suspicious of laboratories, accused of increasing the cost-effectiveness to the health of children. With this death, according to Daniel Lévy-Brühl, 21 people died of measles in France since 2008, primarily young adults.",383,"belgium"

"39713","Measles is a disease that can have severe complications, even death, in the worst case. But the good news, once more and we do not tire of repeating, is that there is a vaccine against measles. It is already clear that the vaccine is included in the vaccination calendar in Spanish, and that is administered free of charge at the primary health-care centres to all children, or adults, who come for its administration. However, what seems so clear is not so much and, again, we must mention the cases of children not vaccinated or poorly vaccinated, which continue to proliferate. This collective, through conviction, ideology, or simply by neglect, do not vaccinate their children to protect them from very serious diseases also puts at risk the entire school community and, by extension, to the whole of society, because they contribute to lowering the threshold of security below 90%, which constitutes a risk.

It is the measles outbreak most deadly in so far this century. WHO, World Health Organization, has already launched different alarms about the worsening situation in Europe. The countries most affected by the outbreak are in Greece, Slovakia, Romania, France and Italy. A variety such, both some of the richest countries as those that are experiencing more economic hardship in Europe, which makes us think of very different motives for each country, both socio-economic as belief or ideology. Experts say that outbreaks of european measles tend to occur in waves and usually occur in communities where herd immunity is not guaranteed, to be less than needed. Also, the mobility of people in Europe will facilitate the expansion of the outbreaks. Non-vaccinated vs evil vaccinated Not only so-called collective “antivacunas” are responsible for the drop in the threshold security for the immunization group. It should be noted that not only enough to be vaccinated, but you also need to be well vaccinated. In other words, it is necessary to receive in due time all the doses of vaccines planned by specialists, in order to be perfectly immunized and protected. In this sense, it is a take a look at the vaccine schedule of the AEP, which indicate all the vaccines and doses required for each one of them. ",383,"spain"

New figures now show more than 100,000 cases of measles have been reported in 47 of the 53 European countries since January 1, 2018, including 90 deaths.  There were 913 measles in England and Wales between January and October 2018, the most recent data from Public Health England shows.  Two adults died from measles in 2017 in the UK but there were none last year.  Ukraine reported the highest number of measles cases in 2018, and more than nine in ten were in 10 countries, including France, Italy and Greece.  The surge in cases followed a year when Europe achieved the highest ever estimated coverage for measles vaccinations.  Tackling the outbreak  The WHO says it's scaling up its efforts to tackle the outbreak and is urging authorities to make sure vulnerable people are vaccinated.  They said that this is due to the growing number of children and adults affected by and dying from the disease.  Officials blame the ""persistence of pockets of non-immunised or under-immunised individuals in many countries fuelling the continuing spread of measles"".  2 These figures from the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control show the number of reported measles cases per European country from April 2018 to March this year  Dr Dorit Nitzan, acting regional emergency director at the WHO in Europe, said: “We have observed an unprecedented upsurge in people sick with this preventable disease, and too many have lost their lives to it.  “This is unacceptable and we need to be bolder and scale up our response to the next level.  ""I am proud to see that different parts and levels of WHO are intensifying their combined efforts to stop these outbreaks.""  There's been an unprecedented upsurge in people sick with this preventable disease, and too many have lost their lives to it Dr Dorit Nitzan  Dr Masoud Dara, acting director of communicable diseases at the WHO, added: “WHO has been working closely with countries in the European region to enhance their capacity to protect children from measles.  ""However, this alarming resurgence is a warning that the region’s immunisation coverage is not yet sufficient.  “Escalating our response will enable us to raise political awareness and will help in strengthening European health systems in the longer term to avoid future outbreaks.”  Experts have previously warned parents are being put off vaccinating their kids by so-called “antivaxers”who spread fake scare stories.

"19115","The Prime Minister has said social media firms must share the responsibility for the rising spread of measles in the UK as he attacked antivax misinformation.  Boris Johnson will on Monday set out plans to improve vaccination rates on a visit to a hospital in the South West, following a rise in cases of measles.  In the first quarter of 2019 there were 231 confirmed cases of measles, just three years after the World Health Organisation declared the UK measles-free.  Earlier this year Simon Stevens, the head of the NHS, said “fake news” by anti-vaxers on social media had fuelled a tripling in measles cases and added that the promotion of misguided messages on Instagram and YouTube was one of the factors behind the dip in vaccinations.  Ahead of the visit, Mr Johnson, who will call a summit of social media companies to discuss how they can play their part in promoting accurate information about vaccination, said: ""After a period of progress where we were once able to declare Britain measles free, we've now seen hundreds of cases of measles in the UK this year.",383,"uk"

It is a viral infection that is highly contagious and potentially serious,"" alert, and the Regional Agency of Health (ARS), New Aquitaine in a press release. The departments most affected by the epidemic are the Gironde (177 cases), the Vienna, but also the Limousin, where two cases have been diagnosed this February 9, 2018 and the Aveyron, which deplores ""an outbreak of measles cases in Rodez,"" according to the ARS Occitania. The only prevention is vaccination In New-Aquitaine, 57 hospitalizations were required, more than one out of four cases, according to the ARS. Four patients even had to be transferred in the icu. But how to explain the resurgence of a disease almost forgotten ? ""90% of measles cases were not or poorly vaccinated (2 doses are needed to be protected),"" deplores the agency. In effect, the first dose of the trivalent vaccine against measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine should be administered at 12 months of age. The vaccine containing the second dose must be between 16 and 18 months. If you have never been vaccinated·e, that you have received only one dose or you do not know whether or not you have received the vaccine, talk to your doctor. The vaccine can be caught at any age and, ""in times of epidemics, it is better to be vaccinated because the vaccine is without risk,"" recalls the ARS. Complications respiratory, neurological, and risk of death Although measles is often classified among the diseases of childhood and it is usually mistakenly regarded as benign, it also affects adults in whom it may represent a major risk : ""the complex shapes are more frequent in patients aged less than 1 year and more than 20 years. They can go up to the hospitalization for pneumonia or serious neurological complications, up to death"" supports the agency's New region of Aquitaine. How to recognize this disease ?

Just think about the data recently published by the Italian national Institute of Health: one thousand cases of measles in Italy in 2017, compared to just under 900 in 2016. ""This is the result caused by the people who choose not to get vaccinated. In Countries where rates of vaccination are high, I will mention one, the Portugal, the cases of measles are zero"" the Professor is peremptory in affirming that ""each of these cases is avoidable, and is in my opinion a shame that, in an advanced Country, still there are all these cases of measles, with people that ends up in the hospital, in resuscitation. It is important not only that parents vaccinino their children, but now that the adults are in control, because many adults have not been vaccinated and therefore not protected, and it is absolutely essential that radically changes the attitude towards vaccination"". But it's not just the children to become sick, as underlined by Burioni, also a good average adults fit in the case and, more alarming, to contract the disease even a discrete number of health care workers. ""The fact that there are cases of measles among the health is a thing that cries for vengeance, it's a shame really. Anyone who works in a hospital has a dual responsibility, the first is to give the good example, because a doctor must give a good example, but the second is even more important, is that those who work in contact with the sick, not only is more likely to contract measles, but can spread it to people who are weak, so it's very important that those who work in a hospital under any guise, nurse, doctor and any other role, it checks if it is immune"". The Professor reiterates that, in order to verify the immunity, just a blood test, and if you are not immune, ""one should get vaccinated. I venture to say that perhaps the same thing should make it even the teachers and all those who are in contact with children – continues the Professor -. Assess whether you are immune vis-a-vis especially measles, but also other childhood diseases and vaccinations. And this also for themselves, because they catch the measles from adults, or take the mumps as an adult, or take the chicken pox from adults, is not a pleasant experience"".

The film had to be screened at the university of Padua in Port cinema Astra, but in response to various complaints, it has not been shown. ""Luckily,"" comments Burioni – the film in question is a documentary that paints as a 'hero', a doctor surprised to the falsification of the work, to make the young patients 'tests and painful, invasive and unnecessary"". In fact, the protagonist of the documenario in question is Andrew Jeremy Wakefield, a former physician and surgeon for the british mid - ‘50s, known primarily for a scientific publication to be fraudulent in which he claimed the link, now discredited, between the trivalent vaccine MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) and autism. ""The doctor has been terminated from the Order. I believe that it is absurd to project such a thing, especially in the city of Padua, where there is the university who holds the chair of Galileo, I think it is one scarring intolerable.

This year, the number of measles had disease reaches in Europe a record low, while 2018 will mark the maximum value of the last decade. The ""British Medical Journal reports"" with reference to official data from 47 of the 53 countries counted as part of the WHO European region. The strongest eruption took place in the Ukraine, where more than half of all measles cases was registered: the war and poor health care promote there gaps in the population, so that the Virus can easily spread. More than 2000 Sufferers, but they account for on in countries such as France and Italy, which have a good health system. Germany, in the last few years, because of gaps in the criticism of the WHO and other health organizations, was one of 2018, however, only about 500 infections, to 900 in the previous year.

Serious complications occur mainly in infants and young children, as well as in people with a compromised immune system. Just for you a strong herd protection through vaccination is important, since, for example, infants can not be used against the Virus is vaccination.

Feared will follow, too late as the subacute sclerosing Panencephalitis (SSPE), of the one is affected by 3300 children with measles had to make before their fifth birthday by. A vaccination Coverage of at least 95 percent of the herd protection ensures that the Virus can not spread uncontrollably among non-immunized people. The WHO therefore considers opponents as a global health risk. Even so many people against measles had been vaccinated in Europe in 2018 at the same time like never before. But it is not rich, the Director of the regional Bureau Zsuzsanna Jakab. ""We need to do more and better to protect every single Person from diseases, which can easily be avoided.""

And not only for the children who are not immunized, if not for the rest of minors. That's why Jilly Joss, a mother from London, has shared via Facebook the anxious images of your baby after contagiase of the measles virus. The small Alba, according to the Sun newspaper, was grappling between life and death after contracting this disease, against which she had been vaccinated because it was too small to receive the dose (in Galicia for example was first given at 12 months). ""Could not open the eyes, I needed oxygen, it has been eight days, feeding tube, had a high fever and rashes all over the body"", she says, when they arrived at the hospital the baby was not responding to stimuli and had a very high fever. ""Posting these terrible pictures of our beautiful baby girl is extremely difficult, we are still in the hospital,"" explains Jilly Joss, who confesses that it was the doctors hospital West Chelsea that encouraged them to share these images to raise awareness of the risk of not vaccinating children, a kind of fashion that is spreading with force in several countries. ""I had to fight this killer virus without immunity. Measles is not just a rash, can cause blindness, encephalitis and pneumonia,"" he said. ""It has been absolutely horrible to watch our daughter fight this with your eyes closed for four days. She has been in the dark, frightened, with a high fever that lasted more than two weeks,"" he continues. After make plates, spinal taps, a feeding tube, drippers, and many medications and pain killers for the pain, ""this all could have been avoided"" if all children were vaccinated according to the official calendar. Because the small Alba caught measles from an older child who was suffering and had not been vaccinated. ""Without the care of the staff of the hospital our baby would not be here today"", he adds.

Old Science.dk-article is being used in the debate on Facebook was the claim of air under the wings as an argument in the discussion about whether one should let his children be vaccinated against measles. It came to pass, for example, in a lookup 12. February in the facebook group ’support doctors without sponsor’, where a user linking to a Science.dk-article from 2011. The article is about a study in which the researchers examine whether the disease might become a new weapon against cancer. In a facebook update in the group 'support doctors without sponsor' was the claim about the link between measles and cancer mixed into the debate on vaccines for children. (Photo: Facebook / Anne Ringaard / Lea Pilsborg) In the study, the researchers have only examined some hypotheses about whether a modified measles virus can be manipulated to solely to hit the cancer cells when it moves around in the body. They conclude that it is indeed possible. The study can not be used as an argument for not letting their children being vaccinated against measles. Read here why. We can not claim that measles prevents cancer the Claim does not hold for the simple reason that there is not enough research to substantiate it. There are some old studies showing that measles possibly lowers the risk of cancer in the lymph nodes or lymfebanerne. But the studies are of poor scientific quality and is very much alone, says Lars Jorgen Ostergaard. Ad: He is clinical professor of communicable diseases at the Clinical Institute at Aarhus University and has helped Science.dk to get to the bottom of the upper class decadence stories about measles and cancer. ""You can't say that there is sufficient evidence that the measles as the disease prevents cancer. It is a claim that is not substantiated,"" says Lars Jorgensen, Ostergaard, opposite Science.dk.

The systematic study of literature within the vaccinations and cancer The scientific review was published in the prestigious scientific journal Scientific Reports in november 2017.

Ie., scientists have analyzed all the existing research on the subject It makes the study to a very reliable source to find out what is the most strong evidence in the case. Can not be used in the debate on vaccines, the Debate does not end here. For the erroneous link between measles and cancer have been used as an argument in the debate on whether to let their children being vaccinated. Here is the answer: Yes, you should let her children be vaccinated against measles, and there are many good reasons to, as you can read in the article: Should I vaccinate my child against measles? ""Even if it was true that childhood diseases like measles could prevent cancer, then it has nothing to with vaccines,"" says Lars Jorgen Ostergaard. It can be downloaded for evidence in the scientific literature. ""A large, systematic review of all literature within the vaccinations and the development of leukemia, shows that children who are vaccinated have a lower risk of developing cancer,"" says Lars Jorgen Ostergaard. Vaccine against measles develops and matures the immune system Which is yet another reason that you can not mix the vaccines and the link between cancer and the measles together: Often the arguments behind not to have the child vaccinated, that the disease would develop and strengthen the child's immune system - just like Allon Hein Sorensen wrote in his tweet. Ad: But, in fact, have measles long-term consequences for our immune system, and even if we have overcome maslingerne, makes the us susceptible to other diseases, "" explains Michael Miner, who is a postdoc from Princeton University in a Science.dk-article of 2015: the Measles devastate the immune system. ""Our study shows that the measles are much worse than we previously thought, since they expose the infected to be seriously ill of many other diseases. Therefore, it is extremely important to maintain a high level of vaccination, since the effects of measles is much more devastating than one can immediately see by the disease itself,"" writes Michael Miner in an email to Science.dk in the article. The Danish researcher and pediatrician Lone Graff Stensballe from copenhagen university hospital points out, in the same article that the vaccine is important because it protects our immune system in general. ""Maslingevaccinen and other vaccines, in itself, do something good for our immune system, which is independent of the direct protection against a given disease. This can prove to be very important in the day measles is eradicated, and you may want to stop using the vaccine, so remove at the same time, the good effect of the vaccine,"" she said to Science.dk in 2015. No evidence that the measles may prevent cancer But why can you not say that there is evidence that measles can prevent cancer? Now, when there are some few studies which indicate that measles possibly can lower the risk of cancer in some cases, and now, when the Science.dk has written about, that the modification of the maslingeceller may be a weapon against cancer. On forskersprog one could also ask when there is ’evidence’ for a claim. You have to have evidence, that is sufficient strong evidence, to determine whether measles can prevent cancer, so you will need to obtain several very large-scale studies, which can show the. ""There's been vaccinated approximately 55.000 children a year in Denmark since 1987, while about 5,000 children a year are not vaccinated,"" says Lars Jorgen Ostergaard. The professor comes with an example of a studio that would be large enough to be something we can rely on: ""With data from 1987-2018 we would be able to examine about 1.5 million danes who are vaccinated, and 150,000, which is not. We would be able to compare how many in each group who have got cancer, and so we are up in some crowds, where we could begin to get the answer a little closer.""

The disease, which had contracted until 2016, has even emerged in the four countries for which it was considered to have been eliminated : the United Kingdom, Greece, the Czech Republic and Albania. The world health Organization (WHO) reported today, Thursday, 89 994 cases of measles in 48 european countries in the first half of 2019. This is more than double compared to the same period last year (44 175) and already more than for the entire year 2018 (84 462). In the first half of 2019, 78 % of the european cases have been registered in four hotbeds of contagion : in Kazakhstan, Georgia, Russia and Ukraine, which alone comprises 60 % of the cases. Conversely, Germany and Switzerland have not encountered any cases for at least 36 months. ""Maintaining high vaccination coverage"" "" The resumption of the transmission of measles is a serious problem. If we are unable to establish and maintain high vaccination coverage in every community, children and adults will experience unnecessary pain and suffering, and some will be doomed to a tragic death, "" said Günter Pfaff, the president of the regional Commission of verification of elimination of measles and rubella. In the United Kingdom, Greece, in Albania as in the Czech Republic, the figures are particularly alarming, in 2018, the last year full. However, ""each is an example of national immunisation coverage extremely high,"" noted Kate O'brien, the director of the department of Immunization, WHO. ""I think it is an alarm bell to the world : it is not enough to achieve a national coverage high, it must be done in every community and in every family,"" she added. 37 deaths between January and June, a Highly contagious and may lead to severe complications, measles is sometimes fatal : the 37 cases in Europe in the first half and 74 in 2018. It is usually transmitted by direct contact or through the air, infecting the respiratory tract, then spreads throughout the body. The weakest are not the only ones affected : in Europe, 60 % of the patients identified since the beginning of the year were under the age of 19 years. There is no curative treatment for measles, but it can be prevented by two doses of a vaccine, according to WHO, which estimates that more than 20 million the number of deaths prevented in the world between 2000 and 2016, thanks to the vaccination. It is considered that it is necessary to achieve 95 % vaccine coverage to prevent the spread.

"7699","The discussion of this in the media, is dominated by emotion, not by facts. Columnists give their views openly. A vitaminestore gets a book on vaccination is out of the window, after the Summer-presenter, Janine Abbring ( ... ), her twittervacantie a halt to the publication of the cursor. However, she has the book to read. In the mainstreamdiscussie seems to be very little room for counter arguments, the media will follow the structure of the government. The question is whether that is a good idea: the code commission proposed to not too long ago, that the government, when it comes to increasing organ donation rates is another pressing issue in education but it is a part of the truth is told. The vaccine voorlichtingssites of the government are not really set up to opinions that are different from the overheidsframe. So it's time for a little exploration of the facts.... The world health organization (WHO) provides a comprehensive and (fairly) neutral, with information about vaccinations against measles. The information can also be found on the RIVM (national Institute for public Health and the Environment), but more in terms of a pre-conceived opinion ( vaccines included), so, steering the economy. Gain new insights with regard to the need for vaccination, are not really dealt with, even though it is in the spirit of the age is that people, encouraged by the government, to delve into their own health and their own decisions to make. This came up on my search for the arguments against, Caused, vaccines, autism? That the vaccination-autism is caused by a controversial vision for the future. Initially, based on a publication in The Lancet, was based on a limited investigation and in course of time be reversed. This is said to be that children with autism often manifests at an age which have been vaccinated, but that this does not mean that there is a cause-and-effect relationship. That the vaccination-autism is caused by the discussion of the absence of a compelling argument, it is, as far as is known has not been proven. How long does a vaccination? There is a fog surrounding the effectiveness of vaccines. Children who have been vaccinated are only a limited number of years to become resistant, so it can be found in the literature. According to some publications, it has a less than one-third of vaccinated persons is 8 years after vaccination, yet the protection for the center two-thirds that don't. The official websites of the WHO and the GOVERNMENT will give no information about this, or at least not easy-to-access information. If it is true that the protection is limited, it is, therefore, that the vaccinated people at an age when they should measles be able to get it. The GOVERNMENT confirms that about 1% of the people who have been vaccinated are still at risk from measles is given. As this disease in older people is manifested, the the consequences are usually more significant than when the disease as a child. It seems to me to be relevant information, that is, in the discussion of ondersneeuwt. Do you get measles, you are always protected, Like children, spontaneously, measles, mumps, are they against it for the rest of their life to be protected: how to get out of the disease it works, according to the literature, so it is better than a vaccine, but it is an issue that, in the official publications of the ec remains underexposed. The world health organization reports that the number of infections over the past few years, especially, revealed to very young children and young people up to the 20's. How many elderly people there are sick of it, and what the consequences are, it is in the rules of the WTO (that is, the description of the subject matter, which I am sure nasloeg) is not to be found. All the attention has been focused on the risks to children, risks for the elderly. Too many journalists get caught up in the emotion of It is hard to get into the media as source of information to find out with regards to this matter. Just as in the discussion of organ donation and transplantation seem to be a lot of journalists are concerned with the emotions, that is, in the society. In general, there is very little space for a critical and independent approach. It is also important that overheidsframe be followed to ensure that non-vaccination could be seen as irresponsible behavior. The trend is being set by the response headers, such as this one, which I found on the website of the Dutch, "" On the measles can kill you, it's not a simple childhood illness’. I do understand, however, that it is a quotation, that is, to a person other than the NIS, is to be imputed to them, but there you go.... Who are the websites of the WHO and the institute for public health and browse will come to the conclusion that this warning is greatly exaggerated as it is. If there are complications, it is often in children under 5 and elderly people over 30, and yet still, in the case of specific high-risk groups, such as poorly-fed children and a lack of vitamin A and / or children, in which the immune system due to other diseases, it is weakened (citation: world health organization. The website gezondheidsnet.nl/kinderziektes/de-mazelen said: ""In the case of healthy children with the measles are quite harmless’. This is official publications of the ec is perhaps not in these terms, it said, but it will be confirmed. Do you get measles, then you'll get more out of it If you have the disease spontaneously, given that the benefits seen in this comment on one of the voorlichtingssites of the federal Government: ""People who have pre 1965 were born to be, almost all of them are protected as they have ever had measles, mumps, and have had it’. Headlines like ‘Measles: a deadly disease, are, therefore, certainly within the Dutch context far-fetched, and incorrect. Measles is not a deadly disease, with complications, you have to die. It is for the common flu is even more so. Recent figures In the Netherlands were at 2017 and 17 children have been infected. In the first half of 2018, there were 22. There are no children in the measles and died. To the extent that children with measles die, so do those deaths are common in children with an underlying disease and are, therefore, likely to have a weakened resistance. Most of the vectors around the center are found in countries such as the Ukraine and Russia. Acknowledgements This article is not an argument for or against vaccination.

The government is due to re-evaluation and the need to consider the question of how the trust is being recovered, may be used. The emotions associated with this debate is a symptom of something much bigger. It's not to late childhood of a grown-up democracy, but to make good the damage caused by the rampant addition, market thinking, which more often than not, a question that is asked is: ""who can you trust, who monitors free of charge in the truth?"". In the chaos, people are increasingly dependent on their own decisions.

Tests for many viruses, In normal circumstances, the measles is just one of the many viruses to which they are analyzing. Herpes simplex virus, pox, hepatitis, mycoplasma, and tick-borne virus, TBE, are a few of the others. The disease is not something that they normally would need to devote a lot of time. However, since the 10th of december, when the first mässlingfallet was discovered in the Western Region, there has been a focus of to analyze the paramyxoviruset morbilli, which is the Latin name for the mässlingviruset. So far, 26 people have become ill in the current outbreak. Below Ghate tells us that, since day one, and, to date, has received about 1,800 blood samples collected for analysis of antibodies against the disease. It has calmed down somewhat, but the daily is still in a hundreds of tests. Many people have no protection, In essence, there are two groups that are being investigated. The medical professionals who cared for or been close to infected patients, and patients and relatives who have found themselves in the presence of a man who was very ill of the measles vaccine, for example, in the waiting room of a hospital emergency department or a medical center. You want to know where to send the samples to the serologen if they are immune. They are there, it is nothing to worry about. However, if you have no shelter, are in danger of becoming ill, and thus pass the infection on to patients and others. Virus is as contagious as the measles. Anyone who has had the disease or been immunized are wearing in general on measles-specific IgG antibodies. The analyses so far carried out has a total of 152 people have shown themselves to be such. The samples that have been taken on a further 182 have been more uncertain. They have had very low levels of antibodies that it is uncertain whether or not they are immune.

However, a total of 18 percent, or 334, of the 1,800 people who submitted samples to the control, proved to be an adequate level of protection. In this case, it is not an average sample of the population that is sampled, but also, and above all, those who are suspected to have no plan.

Others have been less fortunate, since three deaths from this disease have been recorded since the beginning of the year.

""Measles is the infectious disease most transmissible as we know, alert-t-it. An infected individual can infect 12 to 18 people who have not been vaccinated around him.

Since 2009, criticism of vaccines have increased (see below). While 18 vaccines are now mandatory, as opposed to three in 2017, some continue, however, to sulk.

If measles has made a comeback sadly noticed, other diseases are again to talk about them after several decades, or even centuries, of silence. In addition to the lack of coverage, lack of job security and human behaviour are also vectors of certain diseases. ""If we are witnessing a resurgence of tb in France today, it is due to impoverishment and impoverishment of certain segments of the population in France,"" says the doctor. Other diseases, ""social"" : scurvy, which is caused by a deficiency of vitamin C, or still the gale, the transmission of which is favoured within communities. Finally, the last factor : human behavior at risk. ""The fact of not having protected, for example, exhibits a drastic increase of certain sexually transmitted diseases, like syphilis."" For the doctor, the risk of other diseases can be ""reborn"" from the ashes is always this : ""Some of the infectious diseases that were focused on certain areas of the world can now move in because of the ability of populations to migrate rapidly to the surface of the globe.

The majority of the cases were reported in the Piemonte, Lazio, Lombardia and Toscana. More than half among the 15-39 years. The strong increase in cases of measles in Italy, reported by the ministry of Health, ""is in large part due to the increasing number of parents who refuse the vaccination, despite the evidence established, and despite the measures of some regions that tend to improve the covers, interacting with the families and parents.""

"2207","Since November 1, 2017, 387 cases of measles that resulted in 1 death and 83 hospitalizations, of which 6 are in intensive care units, have been reported in France. Indeed, several outbreaks have been identified throughout the territory, mainly in New Aquitaine, in people who are not immunized against this disease. In order to limit the risk of the spread of the epidemic, the general Directorate of Health and public Health France remind us that vaccination is the most effective way to protect against measles. Measles is an infectious disease highly contagious. An infected person can infect 15 to 20 people in case of low level of immunization in the entourage. However, this disease can present severe forms (respiratory failure, neurological complications may be irreversible) requiring hospitalization and that may lead to the death of the patient in the most serious cases. Between 2008 and 2017, 33 cases of encephalitis and 20 deaths a result of measles have been identified in France by public Health, France. When there was an outbreak of measles is identified, epidemiological investigations show an absence of vaccination, or vaccination incomplete, in the vast majority of infected people. All children and young people adults should be vaccinated against the measles. It is a vaccination to be very effective, which protects against the disease in nearly 100% cases after 2 doses of vaccine. That is why, since the January 1, 2018, vaccination against measles is part of the 11 compulsory vaccinations in children. The Directorate-general of Health invites all persons not vaccinated or who have doubts about their vaccination status to check their doctor for a possible update of their immunizations. In the health care setting, health professionals with a history of vaccination or measles are uncertain, are also invited to update their vaccinations to prevent the spread of this disease and protect patients the most fragile. The technical committee of the vaccinations of the High Authority of Health recommends vaccination of persons over 6 months of age, having been in contact with a patient with measles, within 72 hours after contact to prevent the risk of contagion.

There is talk about the ski area Val Thorens, where there has been an outbreak of measles. - The two cases detected in the last week, both have already been on ski holidays in France, in the popular ski resort Val Thorens. - It fits with the fact that we last night received information that identified an outbreak of measles in exactly the area Val Thorens. So there is obviously an increased risk of measles in the area at the moment, says afdelingslagen. The facts about vaccination, most adults born before 1975 will have had measles and will thus be protected against the disease. In addition, in 1987, launched a general vaccination programme against measles. The vaccination programme includes an offer of vaccination, when the child is 15 months old, and when it is four years old. If a child has followed the Danish childhood immunisation programme and MMR-vaccinated, the child can be considered protected against measles. Some children are not vaccinated - either because they are due to another disease or weakened immune systems can not tolerate the vaccine, or because this is deselected. These non-vaccinated children are therefore, together with younger adults the most vulnerable group to get the disease. Source: Region of southern denmark, you Must on ski holidays in France? Statens Serum Institute therefore calls for danes to be on ski holiday in Val Thorens, shall be vaccinated, if they do not already have it or have had measles. - You need to check that you have been vaccinated against measles. If you are not a being, one should hurry down and get vaccinated, "" says Peter Henrik Andersen. The infected danes is a woman in 50's from Rudersdal Municipality and a younger man from the island of Fyn. The director of Patient safety informs on Tuesday, on the case from the Administrator.

This makes people not only more sensitive to a number of diseases, but also destroys the immune protection from previous vaccinations. Particularly in children, vaccination against measles is therefore essential. Boston (U. S. A.). According to statistics from the world health organization (WHO) die every year approximately 100,000 people to the measles. Also in Europe, the highly contagious viral infection, despite effective vaccines is on the rise again. While in 2009, only 7.884 measles infections in Europe have been reported, the number of infections in the year 2018 in the case of 82.596. The highest share of the Ukraine, according to the WHO (PDF Link) of one Million inhabitants, 1,200 people within a year of measles patients wearing. In Germany, only 6,46 measles infections came to a Million inhabitants, however. In addition to the deaths directly caused by measles, has been monitoring the medicine since a very long time, that measles patients suffer after her healing, often under other diseases, including diseases against which they have previously received a vaccination. In science, it was suspected, therefore, that a measles infection weakens the human immune system in the long term. Measles studies have examined the blood of children Why measles also after the healing had a major impact on the immune system, have now examined the research groups from the Harvard Medical School (HMS) in Boston, and the Wellcome Sanger Institute in Cambridge. Were published the results of the studies, the blood samples of 77 Dutch school children analyzed, in the journals Science and Science Imunology. The blood of the 77 subjects, samples were taken prior to the measles infection and about two months of healing. To control the results of the study, the scientists also analyzed blood problem from vaccinated and non-vaccinated children who were not sick with the measles. Maserin-infection destroys antibodies of the immune system, The scientists Michael Mina of the HMS have examined the blood samples using the VirScan-test method for antibodies against various viruses and bacteria. The immune system makes these antibodies, either after vaccination or after contact with a pathogen. It showed that the number of antibodies in children after a measles infection are significantly lower. Depending on the defensive molecule is eleven to 73 percent of the antibody was lost by the measles. As a consequence, the body of pathogens, against which he would actually be protected can no longer fend off. Animal trials using macaques showed that the weakening of the immune system is at least five months after the measles infection is still present. As Mina explains, ""is our immunity against pathogens comparable with a collection of posters of the most wanted Criminals, but then someone rips holes in the photos and makes it difficult to identify the Criminals yet."" The measles infection ensures that the immune memory of the people loses information, and thus more susceptible to infections makes. Genetic analyses show destruction of B-cells and How this process exactly, the researchers have expires to Velislava Petrova from the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, which is specialized in the research of the genome, found out. The genes of memory B cells were analyzed from the blood of the children. Memory B cells are immune cells of the immune system, which store information about known pathogens, and the production of the necessary anti-body control. As the analysis showed, destroy the measles virus B-cells, which were characterized by the body to certain pathogens. To compensate, the body produces new B-cells, in which, however, no disease-specific information are included.",369,"germany"

More than half a million children in the UK have not been vaccinated against measles new figures from Unicef reveal.  The charity is warning that increasing numbers of youngsters are being left unprotected against the highly infectious illness, which can cause disability and death. Inaccurate and misleading anti-vaccination messages on social media are thought to be one reason why vaccination rates are plummeting.  Unicef's analysis shows that an estimated 169 million children around the world missed out on the first dose of the measles vaccine between 2010 and 2017 - an average of 21.1 million a year. A list of 10 high-income countries shows the US has the highest number of children (2.6 million) missing out on their first dose of the vaccine, followed by France with 608,000 unvaccinated children over the same time period and then the UK, with 527,000.

Simon Stevens, NHS England Chief Executive said: “Getting yourself and your children vaccinated against killer diseases is essential to staying healthy, and vaccine rejection is a serious and growing public health timebomb. With measles cases almost quadrupling in England in just one year, it is grossly irresponsible for anybody to spread scare stories about vaccines, and social media firms should have a zero tolerance approach towards this dangerous content.”  Two doses  Children need two doses of the MMR vaccine for full protection against measles, with the World Health Organisation (WHO) recommending 95 per cent coverage to achieve herd immunity, which offers protection against the disease spreading in the community.  In the UK in 2017 there were 259 measles cases in England, rising to 966 in 2018. In 2016 and 2017, uptake of the first dose of the MMR vaccine in five-year-olds in the UK exceeded 95 per cent for the first time. However, uptake of the second dose of MMR in five-year-old children is 88 per cent - well below target.  Helen Bedford, Professor of Child Public Health, Institute of Child Health, University College London (UCL), said: ""While more work is needed to ensure a similar high uptake of two doses of MMR to ensure best protection against measles, vaccine confidence is high and vaccination is seen as the normal thing to do.”",364,"uk"

The measles has made its come back in France since few months. In the midst of a debate on compulsory vaccination, this new epidemic is worrying the authorities. At Poitiers, a woman of 32 years who was not vaccinated died in the beginning of February. Franceinfo answers to the questions that you can ask yourself on this disease and its consequences. This is what, the measles ? As explained by the world health Organization (WHO) on its website, the measles is ""a serious viral disease highly contagious"". The virus is transmitted by direct contact or through the air, through the respiratory tract. It causes a high fever, cough, red eyes, and a rash of small spots very red. This eruption ""appears first on the face, behind the ears, on the forehead, on the cheeks, then on the neck, the upper body to reach the feet around the third day,' says the website of the health Insurance. The whole is accompanied by a great tiredness. Often benign, the disease ""generally lasts for a period of ten days"". The WHO states that there is no treatment, ""specific antiviral against measles. One can really die ? Yes. In ""approximately 30% of cases"", things get more complicated, the precise health Insurance. Measles can degenerate into acute otitis, in laryngitis or diarrhea, or even to pathologies that require the hospitalization of the patient : pneumonia, keratoconjunctivitis infection of the eye, impairment of the liver or kidneys, neurological complications type encephalitis. On more than 24, 500 measles cases recorded from 1 January 2008 to 31 December 2017 in France, with more than 1 500 patients have developed severe pneumonia and 38 a neurological complication, indicates public Health France. Complications that can lead to death : the disease has been 21 victims since 2008. And this time, there really is an epidemic ? Yes, really. Part of the Bordeaux region at the beginning of November, the epidemic is steadily expanding, with 913 cases reported in the country since November, said the Directorate-general of Health on 14 march. If 50% of the cases occurred in the region Nova - Aquitaine, 59 French departments are affected. The measles cases identified in France between the 17 February 2017 and 16 February 2018. (PUBLIC HEALTH, FRANCE) the spread of The virus – a patient can infect 15 to 20 people – is accelerating. There has been, over the last month, a third of cases of more than three and a half months previous. One of them, in Poitiers, has been fatal, in early February, a woman 32 years of age never vaccinated. The situation could still get worse ? The current trend of ""we fear an outbreak of significant as we have observed in France between 2008 and 2012,"" said to the press the director general of Health, Jerome Solomon. For the moment, it is still far short of the 23,000 cases being recorded at that time, of which nearly 15 000 in 2011 alone. But the only effective protection, namely the widespread use of the vaccine, is still missing. ""The elimination of measles is a priority objective of the world health Organization (...) For this, it is necessary to reach a target of 95% vaccination coverage in people at risk,"" says Jerome Solomon. France has a lot to do to reach this threshold. The coverage with the second dose of the vaccine, which guarantees the immunity, varies as a function of the counties between 62 and 88%, according to data of public Health of France. Is it that I'm one of the persons at risk ? If you are born after 1980, the date at which the disease has substantially decreased, you're one of the people at risk. Because those who are older have, according to the ministry, ""probably already had the measles"", who touched in a time of hundreds of thousands of children each year. Individually, have already suffered from the disease protects at least as well as the vaccine. In the current epidemic, ""nearly 9 measles cases out of 10 have occurred in people non-or incompletely-vaccinated,"" according to the Directorate-general of health. If I am not vaccinated, what do I do ? Do not seek to avoid the bite. As explained in the 14 march, the Directorate-general of health, ""immunization is the only protection individual and collective against measles."" It must therefore necessarily pass through there, asking the doctor to administer an MMR (measles, mumps, rubella). In the adult, it is necessary to administer two doses with a month between the two. If all people at risk check their vaccination status and if we can protect the entourage of a case of measles, we can stop the spread of the virus and contain the epidemic.Jerome Solomon, director-general of the santéa franceinfo It is repaid, this vaccine ? More or less. For children aged 1 to 17 years, vaccination is reimbursed at 100%. For adults, the rate of reimbursement is 65%. As stated in the basis of government data on the prices of medicines, the MMR vaccine costs 14,50 euros per dose. I was too lazy to read everything. You can make me a summary ? Measles is a viral disease highly contagious. Generally benign, it can lead to serious complications, such as pneumonia or encephalitis. Sometimes, the patient dies, as it happened at Poitiers in early February. Since November 2017, 913 people fell sick in France, mainly in the region Nova-Aquitaine. The government is worried because the vaccine cover – only way to stop a virus that has no treatment – fluctuates between 62 and 88% depending on the departments so that there should be a rate of 95% to stop the circulation of the virus. People born after 1980 – a period from which measles has declined dramatically – are invited to check they are properly vaccinated.",359,"france"
"18915","Dr Watt says she there will be more cases of measles in the county.  Speaking at this morning’s health and wellbeing partnership Corby GP Dr Joanne Watt said the below national average uptake of the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine in Northamptonshire was ‘really worrying’ and said ‘we will see more cases’.  A patient with the highly infectious airborne disease was treated at Kettering General Hospital last month and the hospital had to warn other patients who had attended on September 23 that they may have been exposed to the disease.  Latest figures compiled for the Northamptonshire Health Protection Committee Annual Report for 2018/19 show that almost 13 per cent of five-years-olds in the county had not had their double dose of the MMR vaccine.  The national target is that 95 per cent of five-year-olds are vaccinated.  Sign up to our daily newsletter The i newsletter cut through the noise Thanks for signing up! Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting...  Dr Watt said there is a lot of complacency and false fear which is leading to some parents not having their child immunised.  She said: “We would urge people to get their child vaccinated as the vaccines are safe.  “People are worried about doing something to their child more than the diseases happening.”  She also said if fewer people are vaccinated it impacts on the vulnerability of the local population to the disease and that Northamptonshire was ‘falling below the levels needed for herd immunity’.  Contracting measles can lead to serious health problems. It typically starts with cold-like symptoms and develops into a red-brown blotchy rash.  Public Health England has said there are currently sporadic cases across the East Midlands and that people have not had their double dose of the vaccine are more at risk.",358,"uk"

"16413","Healing recommended that you are vaccinated against measles if they have not been vaccinated previously or have not had the disease, before the rebound of the virus worldwide. Advertising Around 7.2 million people were born in Spain between 1970 and 1980 and are the group that the Ministry of Health recommends be vaccinated against measles if they have not been vaccinated previously or have not had the disease, before the rebound of the virus worldwide. Due to the confusion generated, sources of Health have reiterated to Efe that the epidemiological situation of measles in our country has not changed, keeping the state of removal from 2016, and remember that the recommendations are reflected in the common calendar of vaccination throughout life. Advertising WHY THE GENERATION OF THE 70's? Routine vaccination against measles began to generalize in 1981 through the mmr vaccine, which also protects the rubella and the mumps, explained to Efe dr. Luis Ignacio Martínez Alcorta, director of innovation of the board of directors of the Spanish Association of Vacunología. Advertising All the children born from that year that met the immunization schedule are properly immunized. In the decade of the 70's they used a monovalent vaccine against measles but only for a short period of time, so that there is optimal protection against disease for those who now have between 40 and 50 years, who are the ""target group""of the recommendation of Health. AND WHAT ABOUT THOSE BORN BEFORE 1970? The percentage of people born before 1970 who have not had measles is ""marginal"", says the doctor. Publicity Prior to the year the virus was circulating widely and is a disease as transmissible that more than 90 % of the people had already experienced before reaching the age of 18 years. ""It is extremely rare that do not."" Health assumes that these people are immune by having had the disease previously. HOW DO YOU KNOW IF THERE IS THAT SHOT? When in doubt whether you are vaccinated or has had measles, ""it is always better to get vaccinated""because it does not pose any risk even if you have passed the disease. There is an analytical proof called serology to know if a person has suffered or not a certain disease ""but it is not recommended to systematize its use because it is much more cost-effective and safe to vaccinate,"" says dr. Martinez Alcorta. The only caution to take in account for administering the triple viral is, in the case of a woman, if you are pregnant and if the person has a chronic condition that results in immunosuppression, or is allergic to any component of the vaccine. WHAT TO DO TO GET THE VACCINE? If it has been born in the years 70, there is to go to the health center for the medical advice. In the event you need to get the vaccine, the vaccine is ""completely safe, highly effective, and is free"". It is a vaccine of live attenuated virus and is administered in two doses with a minimum difference of four weeks between one and the other. The protection is approximately 93 %. The side effects, if they appear, are ""mild and transient"". Currently, the first dose is given at 12 months and the second at 3 or 4 years. The vaccination rate of mmr in 2018 was higher than 95% in the first dose but the second dose is half of the autonomous communities did not come to that coverage. ""There is a tendency to cover vaccine tend to decrease as children get older,"" he says. SPAIN FREE OF the VIRUS measles is a disease ""extremely contagious"", so if you do not have ""high""coverage vaccine of 95% or higher the virus continues to circulate and can be extended to other countries where it was not flowing so endemic. It is a disease that can be eradicated, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), which keeps Spain in the list of countries free of the virus. Sources of Health have reiterated to Efe that we are not facing a situation of urgency. WHY THERE HAS BEEN AN INCREASE IN CASES? There is not a single cause, but several. One of them is the lack of access to health services and immunization in some parts of the world or in certain populations. In developed countries such as the Uk, which has lost the status of having eradicated the virus, Martinez Alcorta points to the information ""not true and not proven scientifically"", which is accessed through the internet ""that makes some people seeking to renege on""vaccines or ""hesitate""at the time of putting them on to their children. HOW IS THE VIRUS SPREAD? The infection occurs primarily by the respiratory route through coughing, sneezing or talking. The virus can remain for up to two hours in the atmosphere. The disease presents with high fever, produces rhinorrhea (runny nose), conjunctivitis, cough and a rash is very characteristic. ""People think that it is a own illness of childhood that does not involve any risk but could be severe,"" warns the doctor. In fact, in one out of every thousand cases it can cause death and the most frequent complications are neurological, pneumonia, blindness, and severe diarrhea.",357,"spain"

It was also launched an awareness campaign for all staff, providing vaccination to all those who are not protected or who do not have contracted the disease. For Sandro Fratini, the medical director, ""these events demonstrate that there is in general a resurgence of the disease and the stage of the epidemic and, more generally, to the reduction of vaccination coverage, which puts at risk those who contract the disease, and the most vulnerable"".

But the only effective protection, namely the widespread use of the vaccine, is still missing. Individually, have already suffered from the disease protects at least as well as the vaccine. The problem is, if we do vaccine not, is that it can transmit the disease to vulnerable people. Epidemiologists insist on ""herd immunity"", which is insufficient in our days. © Visactu - France, not enough vaccine ""To make a barrier collectively, in the face of a virus (...) among the most contagious diseases by air-borne transmission in addition, it is only when one reaches this level of vaccine coverage is very high in a group that the virus does not circulate,"" said Mr. Solomon. France has a lot to do to achieve the 95% target. The coverage with the second dose of the vaccine, which guarantees the immunity, varies as a function of the counties between 62 and 88%, according to data of public Health of France. © Visactu - In the current epidemic, ""nearly 9 measles cases out of 10 have occurred in people non-or incompletely vaccinated,"" stated the oversight agency. Manifested by a high fever and then a rash of plaques, the disease is often mild. But it can lead to serious complications, respiratory (lung infections) and neurologic (encephalitis).",353,"france"

"3692","Children and staff in day-care centres and schools will have to be vaccinated against measles. The vaccination should also apply to childminders, as well as for residents and staff of the Refugee shelters and health facilities. The on Thursday approved the law provides that parents in an institution children are not vaccinated can be fined up to 2,500 Euro. From the kindergarten the children are not able to be excluded from school because of compulsory education. Also day-care centres, the non-vaccinated children, can be punished with a fine. However, why Vaccination is so important? What vaccinations do children and adults? And there are, as opponents argue, are really risks involved in vaccinations? The IMAGE clarifies the most important questions on the topic! What vaccinations are important? Which vaccinations are really important? And what is what time is – in the infant, child and adult age? The immunization schedule is an Overview. Can children diseases adults are dangerous? The Standing Committee on vaccination (STIKO) of the Robert Koch Institute recommends adults to catch up or to complete, if you are born after 1970. Background: unlike the Older a lot of women and men in this population group do not have adequate protection against the measles Virus. Prior to 1970, the population has built up through a national measles-waves have a natural protection. Due to rising Impfzahlen this natural immunization is decreased, the gaps become a Problem, mainly because in the Seventies and eighties, not enough has been vaccinated. It comes to disease, the course in adults is often more severe than in children, such as measles, rubella, Mumps and chicken pox. Also Interesting to read also, measles is a harmless childhood disease? No! The viruses are transmitted from person to person and are highly contagious. They are transmitted when Talking, coughing or Sneezing by fine saliva droplets. Unfortunately, several days before the typical skin rash Infected contagious are! In addition to the typical symptoms such as fever, cough, runny nose and skin rash of measles disease can also lead to serious complications such as middle ear infection, pneumonia, or brain inflammation as well as diseases and in the worst, rarely occurring case, lead to death. Why are vaccinations so important? For people with a weak immune system (for example after an organ transplant, with cancer or HIV disease) is a fully vaccinated environment (""herd protection"") is particularly important, they are particularly prone to infections and can even be vaccinated against measles. Also babies that are too young for vaccination, are protected by this kind of herd protection against infections. Are there any risks to Vaccination? Vaccinations, according to the spokeswoman for the Robert Koch-Institute, Susanne Glasmacher, only in absolute individual permanent side effects cases. Temporarily the skin can be around the injection redden, even a slight fever is possible. Even if a vaccination against measles triggers light Impfmasern: ""Real measles are much more dangerous,"" says Glasmacher. What is a vaccination? You will be immune by history of disease or vaccination. In the case of a disease, the immune system produces antibodies against the pathogen. The antibodies provide for long-term, often long-life of immune protection. A vaccine mimics a disease. With killed or attenuated pathogens, or Parts thereof, it stimulates the immune system to produce antibodies. For a long-lasting protection need to be repeated a number of vaccinations are also immune. There is a appropriate time? According to the recommendation of the Standing Committee on vaccination to all unvaccinated women should be of child-bearing age and women with unknown vaccination status, two rubella vaccinations in the distance of at least four weeks. Once you have been vaccinated before should (!) a pregnancy, a second vaccination with measles-Mumps-rubella vaccine (MMR) can get. You can also read also Vaccinated Can still become ill? This can happen if, after a vaccination, not enough antibodies have been formed against the disease. In such a case, one speaks of a Impflücke. It may also be that the immune system was beat at the time of the disease and the vaccine is not therefore right. How do I know if I need a new vaccination? In the vaccination card for a child age two measles immunizations should be. If the vaccination card was lost, then Doctors who performed the vaccinations can be documented, the later again. This does not work, recommends that the Permanent Impfkommision the measles vaccination. There are also blood tests for the detection of antibodies due to previous vaccination, but the results are too uncertain. Can you inoculate too much? No, that's according to the Robert-Koch-Institute possible. Background: The vaccine consists of attenuated viruses and the immune system is made with these harmless – nothing more happens. It can not be overdosed.

As usual, the original news greater effect than the later location adjustments: Wakefield's vaccine against the activity was due to the 2008 and 2009 british and american and canadian measles outbreak, and also to the United States this year, more than a hundred cases have been reported. Andrew Wakefield, autism scaring the doctor and Brian Deer is an investigative journalist Photo: SHAUN CURRY/AFP THE situation in the US northwest state of Washington is the most serious: the whole country in the year since the beginning of registered 101 cases out of 55, there occurred, and in almost all cases, as children caught the measles whose parents have no data in the vaccine. The measles vaccination is effective, but if the damage is done, the treatment is not so simple, for the disease and serious complications can cause. Measles re-emergence, however, has prompted the skeptic, or the vaccination against the parents children, not to beadassák you the vaccine. Who secretly ask for vaccination The panic is understandable: according to WHO data, in 2017 the disease 110 000 fatal casualties worldwide, it is estimated that the vaccine become more widespread since 2000, 21,1 million deaths managed to stop it. While in 2000 the under-five children 72 percent of the vaccinated, in 2017, this ratio is now 85 per cent – with this trend to go against those who for religious or other reasons refuse to give the vaccination.

There are also those who have taken seriously the warning: until 2018 in January, only 530 measles vaccination was given in Washington, this year three than more, and who as a minor without your parents ' consent also would like to receive the vaccine. In washington this way: if the doctor considers that the patient despite the fact you understand what benefits and risk associated with vaccination of, that not 18 years old, and you don't have parental or guardian consent, you can give her the injection. I think that's what a widespread problem the WHO a proposal demonstrates: that six-year-old korra would down to the medical business required age of consent, making up twelve-year-old could decide something that is in vain against the family, he chose to give would you the vaccine.

The adverse effect is rare, and should not delay the vaccination To teenage girl 17-year-old, who died this morning in consequence of a complication from the measles he had not done all the vaccinations at the option of the parents, after having had an anaphylactic shock after only two months of age, at the time of the first immunization. According to the “Vision”, this was the justification given by the family at the Hospital de Cascais where the girl was admitted to the hospital with mononucleosis, and ended up getting the measles. In the hospital, a baby of 13 months, with the disease eventually spreading to six people. The defenses on the bottom, and the lack of vaccination of adolescents all contributed to the fatal outcome. The anaphylactic shock after a vaccine adverse event is rare, which may be, for example, in the situation of an allergy to eggs, since the vaccine against the measles, the mumps epidemic, and a vaccine (vaccine VASPR) may contain traces of egg proteins - all of the components are produced in cell culture from an embryo of a chicken. This morning, at a press conference on the outbreak, and in this case the killer is not revealed further details beyond the statement that the young person will not be vaccinated. The guidelines are available on the website of the DGS also recognize the risk of egg allergy vaccination in the vaccine, VASPR, but they recommend that the vaccine be made on the same, just with more control. In the very rare cases of the personal stories are clinically documented anaphylactic reactions to eggs, such as would be the case for this young man, in the management of VASPR it should be done in a hospital, for there to be a greater assistance in the event of a reaction.

Want to know the Green in the question hour of the citizenship on Wednesday. Because the Bundestag has passed the law three weeks ago – but how it will be implemented on site, is open. 20. December will address the Federal Council with the theme. Andrea Kröger this means that you can still hope to have the law not enforce it. She directs the four Bremen Waldorf kindergartens and would have to check, starting in March, whether children and staff are vaccinated in their facilities against measles. That is the law. Who can prove were not Vaccinated, it is allowed to Kindergarten or school visit. Also the staff in community facilities, doctor's offices and hospitals must be vaccinated against measles.

"7703","At baby clinics and general practitioners in The Hague, is on edge after a mazelenuitbraak a kinderdagblijf. In accordance with the public health service is to reduce the risk of further spread. How dangerous is the measles really? And how do you, as a parent, or a nursery that inoculated it is? Six questions about the measles, mumps, and the answer to that question. 1. How threatening are the measles? First of all, who has the disease once it has been made are protected. Those who get vaccinated, it is still a very low risk for the disease, but will usually be less absent due to illness. The real danger of measles is that the disease is contagious. This is because after the infection, however, from seven to fourteen days, it may take a while before you get sick, and in the meantime, it's easy for others to burn it. According to Johan Versteegen, of the public health service of the Hague, the probability is relatively small, in order to be infected since '95 per cent, of the children of inge-ent thing."" Measles starts with a fever, cough, sniffles, and eye inflammation. So, for about two to four days after emergence the number of red dots. The measles virus can also be diarrhoea, and diarrhoea. In severe and rare cases lead to pneumonia, convulsions or encephalitis. All of this will report to the national Institute for public Health and the Environment (RIVM). In rare cases, a person's death as a result of measles. For the last time in the Netherlands at that time was in 2014. Measles is usually self-limiting. Prescription drugs are no longer required. 2. Can day care centres ongevaccineerde children to refuse? No, no, not yet. A very large majority in the house and wants to know that this is possible, but at the moment, there is a law being worked on. The promoter of this bill and of the Dutch political party D66, member of parliament Was Raemakers calls as a result of this outbreak, and the Room to be in a hurry to make of the Hague mazelenuitbraak at the same time, the politics, its responsibility, and to quickly agree with the bill, "" said Raemakers. At this point, it is an entrance requirement for the children is not officially forbidden, but the parents of unvaccinated children after an refusal, still, to the right of the steps. There is no legal basis for a child to be able to deny it. 3. How can I, as a parent, to know that there are ongevaccineerde the children at the day nursery of my child to be? Officially, that may not be related to the code, said Rene Loman, the sector children's organisations. When I log on to a nursery that will, however, be asked whether they have been vaccinated, but the information will only be used for the vaccination of the entire community. If, for example, individual, day care centers know about it, it would be easy for you to find out what the child has not been vaccinated, according to Loman. Still, Nicole Gommers, to a mother of a child who is at risk from measles because parents have the vaccinatiepapieren be required to submit when they log on to a nursery, 'The right of children not to be infected, to be and stay healthy, I think, is bigger than the right not to be vaccinated.' 4. What can I do as a parent? The parents of the affected child daycare center in Den Haag (the name of which is kept secret, if you are in the right."" The public health service advises parents to take their children to check for stains. If you have a child during the contagious period, has been in contact with a patient, please call your doctor or the health clinic. They will be able to tell you what is the best you can do. Important: do not go at the doctor or clinic, chances are that you, your child, others will be infected, it is too big. 5. If a child with measles, mumps, returned to the day care center is without that light? Does a child any good? Then, according to the institute for public health and for a daycare or a school. Measles is contagious before people have any symptoms. Staying at home doesn't help to keep others from getting sick. That is, it helps only if the child is in the contagious period, you do not go to school. This period covers the four days prior to the onset of the body. 6. Why are vaccines in some parents and their children? The arguments in favour of the non-vaccination of children may vary. Traditionally, though, there are people who, for religious reasons, are against vaccinations to be. So, believing protestant christians-that is, health and illness, to us not by chance encounter, but rather that they are a part of God's plan. In it you will not take action. Also, there are some people who believe that the vaccine for mumps, measles and rubella, unwanted side effects. For example, according to them, inter alia, autism-causing, but it has never been scientifically proven. Also, due to the growth of this latter group of 'anti-vaxxers' is that the coverage over the last few years, has fallen to 90,2 percent of the time. According to the world health organization, have 95 per cent of the young children in the region have been vaccinated against the highly contagious measles to groepsimmuniteit to ensure. The government will, however, be careful with the force, because that is against the constitution, and inconsistent, since the difference can cause, on the grounds of religion or belief'.

"21416","More than half a million children in the UK are at risk from the potentially deadly measles virus because they missed their recommended immunisations in the last eight years, new figures show.  Analysis by the children’s charity Unicef warns that a rising number of infants worldwide are missing out on the measles jab, with 21 million a year needlessly put at risk of infection since 2010.  Among high income nations, the UK has the third highest number of children who missed their first round of immunisations, with a total of 527,000 put at risk over the past eight years.  Download the new Indpendent Premium app Sharing the full story, not just the headlines  Only the US and France had more affected children, with 2.6 million and 608,000 respectively missing their first dose between 2010 and 2017, according to the data from Unicef and World Health Organisation (WHO).  While ineffective health systems in low income nations are a major factor, the charity said measles emerging as a threat in wealthier nations is down to “complacency, fear or scepticism” about vaccine safety.

In 2017, only 85 per cent of children had their first jab globally, and only 67 per cent received the second dose required to give full immunity.  Low vaccination rates two decades ago have contributed to major outbreaks in the UK last year, with cases in England alone four times higher than in 2017.  NHS England chief executive Simon Stevens said this was a “growing public health time-bomb” and hit out at myths being spread on social media.  “It is grossly irresponsible for anybody to spread scare stories about vaccines, and social media firms should have a zero tolerance approach towards this dangerous content,” Mr Stevens added.  Public Health England said the overall risk of measles was “low” with cases mainly sparked from visitors to Europe where an outbreak affecting Romania, Italy, Greece and Germany has seen cases hit a decade high.  But NHS data shows that the number of children receiving the first dose of the MMR jab before the their second birthday fell for the fourth consecutive year in 2018 as more patients delay vaccinating.  While 95 per cent of children received the first dose by their fifth birthday in 2016/17 this fell in 2017/18 (to 94.9 per cent) and fewer than 88% received the second dose required for complete protection.  Measles is highly contagious and killed 110,000 people – mostly children – in 2017, a rise of 22 per cent on the year before. But low and middle income nations are disproportionately affected.  The Unicef analysis shows Nigeria had the highest number of children under the age of one who missed out on the first dose of measles vaccine, at nearly 4 million.  It was followed by India (2.9 million), Pakistan and Indonesia (1.2 million each), and Ethiopia (1.1 million).  In Madagascar there have been 1,200 measles deaths since September, many of them children, and the 117,000 cases have occurred because just 58 per cent of people are vaccinated.",351,"uk"

""The epidemic began in the student community of Bordeaux. This population is not necessarily very attentive to his vaccination,"" said Dr. Pascal Favre, the physician responsible for the cell standby alert and health management to the ARS of the New-Aquitaine. ""In addition, these are people born after 1980 - the date of introduction of the recommendation on vaccine. They have never known virus in the wild, unlike their elders. If they are not vaccinated, they are not at all protected."" In France, no department does not submit an immunization coverage sufficient to halt the progress of the disease, according to the agency for Public Health of France, which fears ""an extension of the epidemic"". In France, only 79% of infants over the age of two are vaccinated with two doses of the vaccine instead of the 95% necessary for the protection of the population. Moreover, measles is a highly contagious disease: an infected person can infect 15 to 20 people, compared to only 2 to 4 people for a person carrying the flu. The public authorities hope, however, that the end of the winter will slow the epidemic. ""In winter, the mucous membranes of the respiratory are weakened and irritated by the cold, which facilitates the installation of the virus"", explains Dr Pascal Favre. 10 deaths between 2008 and 2010, waiting for the return of the heat, the agency of public health reminds us that vaccination is the only way to effectively protect themselves from measles. The disease can cause serious complications, respiratory (lung infections) and neurologic (encephalitis). The last epidemic of measles in swiss Franc (2008-2011) had led to 5,000 hospitalizations and 10 deaths. ""If you have lost your vaccination record, you do not know if you have been vaccinated or if you have had measles, it is best to go and get vaccinated"", says Dr. Pascal Favre. ""If there is a danger when one contracts the measles, there is no danger to do ""extra doses"" of the vaccine"". And it is never too late to get vaccinated. Dr. Pascal Favre advises people who think they might be sick: ""do not leave, do not go to the er and do not take transit. And call your gp for advice.""",350,"france"

The issuer pugliese Telenorba, November 13, he reported, with great detail, the results of the internal investigation carried out by John XIII. A study that has revealed some startling facts. Let us rebuild. It all starts on the 23rd of October, when the Ospedaletto di Bari comes a child of 8 years. It was suspected that the small had a not better identified ""infectious disease"", which is why they undergo a series of examinations. The diagnosis of measles is arrived on the 5th of November. According to the survey conducted by the John XIII with the supervision of the Asl of Bari, the baby was infected inside the hospital. Not only that, his parents are not, No vax. The girl lacked the protection against the measles, but had made the vaccine hexavalent chromium. Here is the source of the terrible epidemic: a child whose family has not made profession of faith antivaccini – arrives at the hospital, contracted the measles (that is diagnosed several days after admission), the switch to the three little siblings. And the other infected? Three are adults, hospitalized at the Policlinico of Bari: a security officer of the department of infectious diseases, the mother of two twins, and another woman, who, however, was infected in a different way. The story of the little boy of 11 months is still different. You have arrived at the Hospital on the 23rd of October, just like the little girl of 8 years.

"470","Viral and extremely contagious, measles can have very serious consequences, or even death. However, a vaccine (two doses) exists. But for it to be fully effective, it would require that the rate of vaccination of the world population will reach at least 95 %. This is not the case in some countries. In Belgium, where the coverage slightly exceeds this rate, the cases are, however, reappeared in recent months. During a press conference, the director for Europe of the WHO, Zsuzsanna Jakab, confirmed this need : ""as you progressed steadily towards the elimination of these last two years, it is particularly worrying to see cases of measles multiply on Europe. The national authorities should make every effort to achieve at least 95 % coverage with two doses of a vaccine antirougeole. ""The deficit in coverage of immunization can be explained by the cost of the vaccine (for the poorest families in the world) and, in Europe, by the scepticism of the so-called ""anti-vaxxers"" who believe that the vaccine antirougeole can lead to autism and refuse therefore to vaccinate their children. A theory for the least controversial of which we have recently exposed the arguments. Specifically, how to explain the increase in the number of cases in Belgium since December ? ""A person, contaminated in Romania, has returned to Belgium where she was in turn infected family members, explains Dr. Carole Schirvel, infectious diseases physician, co-ordinator of the Cell of infectious disease surveillance. (AViQ). As it is a highly contagious disease, these people who went to waiting rooms, of the secondary cases appeared. ""The war of the buttons the first symptoms of the measles include : a fever, a cold, conjunctivitis, cough, and a rash of red spots that spread all over the body, from head to toe. In case of suspicion, it is advisable to take immediately contact his doctor and avoid the waiting room. After having been put in the presence of an infected person, if it is not immune, it has 72 hours to get vaccinated. A person who has had measles will, however, not a second time. The patient is infectious 5 days before the eruption of buttons, up to 5 days after. The contagiousness is then maximum for all those who have worked frequently and closely, at a distance of about 1 meter for more than 4 hours. Suddenly, his relatives in turn become vectors of contamination... Some people are at risk of developing severe forms of the disease : primarily in children under 1 year of age and adults over 20 years old, pregnant women and immunocompromised patients. ""Measles is viral in nature, it is not necessary to take antibiotics,"" says infectious diseases physician. Except if a bacterial superinfection is highlighted by the doctor. If the patient's condition deteriorates, for example, respiratory or neurological, that the patient is no longer drinking and needs to be rehydrated, the doctor may decide to hospitalize. ""Risk does keep scars, type of scars on the skin ? ""No,"" we replied Dr. Schirvel, this is not like chickenpox. In the case of measles, the rash is maculo-papular, there is no gall bladder, so no after-effects. The skin désquame after the eruption, but it is enough to moisturize. ""The complications of measles can be meningo-encephalitis, the risk for the pregnant woman to give birth prematurely, severe diarrhea, pneumonia, and even a risk of eye damage or even blindness. For this it is advisable to leave the patient in the dark, and to him the administration of vitamin A immediately upon diagnosis. In addition to the rest, the treatment is mainly to hydrate the person and to invite them to spend some talc on the body to help reduce the itch. The epidemic calms down In January last, WHO were already more than 500 cases, scattered mainly in seven countries : France, Ukraine, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Poland and Romania. Half of the cases (283) are reported in Italy and Romania has identified (from January 2016) 17 the dead : these are two european countries that have been most affected. Figures not to be taken lightly : in 2015, measles has caused the death of 134.000 people worldwide, mainly children under 5 years of age. When the epidemic has spread in Europe, Belgium was no exception. In Wallonia, the first case was reported in mid-December 2016, to reach, in early march, a peak of 40 cases. On the 8th of may last, the AViQ (Agency for Quality Life), identified a total of 293 cases in Wallonia. Among these, 115 people were hospitalized, but fortunately no deaths were lamented.

I made a malaise. As I do not answer the phone, my mother arrived and, driven by the strength of despair, managed to carry me to his car and take me to the hospital. There, they called a professor of virology who immediately diagnosed measles. I was then isolated and placed in intensive care, under baxter. I had hallucinations and memory gaps.

I remember that I hydratait with a small mist of mineral water and you calmed the itch with talcum powder. I have seen a crowd of young doctors at my bedside, called by the virologist older, because they had never seen a case of measles. They were afraid because, a few days before me, an intern who had contracted measles had nearly died of encephalitis. I learned later that I had been vaccinated, but only once. I had not had the recall of the vaccine. This experience has encouraged me to vaccinate my children. ""Did you know ?

Worldwide, measles is also suffering a significant increase. Since last January, have been declared more than 360,000 cases worldwide, the figure is ""higher"" from 2016. The Democratic Republic of the Congo, Madagascar, and Ukraine are the countries most affected at a global level. Brazil and France are other countries that have seen an increase in cases. What is the measles? It is a viral disease highly contagious which infects the respiratory tract and spreads to the rest of the body. The first sign of measles is usually high fever which begins about 10 to 12 days after exposure to the virus and lasts between 4 and 7 days. In the initial phase, the patient may experience a runny nose, cough, watery eyes and red, and small white spots on the inner face of the cheeks. After about three days it appears a rash, usually on the face and upper neck, gradually spreading, eventually affecting the hands and feet. The rash lasts five to six days, and then fades away. The interval between exposure to the virus and the appearance of the rash varies between seven and 18 days (average 14 days). The deaths are due to complications of the measles, which are more frequent in children under 5 years and adults over 30 years. The most serious are blindness, encephalitis (an infection accompanied by edema of the brain), severe diarrhoea (which can lead to dehydration), ear infections and severe respiratory infections, such as pneumonia. Severe cases are especially frequent in malnourished young children, and especially in those who do not receive contributions sufficient vitamin A, or whose immune system is weakened by HIV/aids or other diseases.",348,"spain"

These were in the last year and it comes as figures reveal how many children have not had their second MMR jab.  That means they are not fully vaccinated and the total in the Duchy is almost 2,500 in the last decade.  Public health consultant Dr Ruth Goldstein says the vaccine is estimated to have prevented millions of cases since it was introduced.  ""There have been outbreaks of measles across the South West in the last year, all of which have put lives at risk, when there's a vaccine to stop it happening in the first place,"" writes Dr Ruth Goldstein.

Two jabs are required by the age of five to provide full immunity, and a further 2,994 children did not receive the second jab.  It means that the overall vaccination rate over the period was 89.5% , significantly below the 95% the World Health Organisation says is needed to prevent the disease spreading in the community, and leaving a total of 5,422 children without full protection against measles.  Analysis from the charity Unicef estimated that 169 million children around the world missed out on the first dose of the measles vaccine between 2010 and 2017 – an average of 21.1 million a year.  More than half a million of them were thought to be in the UK.  The most recent figures, for October to December 2018, show that uptake of both doses of the MMR vaccine in England's five-year-old children is 87%.

In a single day, this public hospital in the centre of the Ukrainian capital was vaccinated 150 children. ""It's three times more or four times more than usual,"" noted Oksana Goutova, its director. In the Face of the influx, the establishment must now open the weekend. ""In two days, we have exhausted our supply of the vaccine measles-oreillon-rubella planned for three months,"" says a pediatrician for a private medical centre in Kiev. At the origin of this rush, an outbreak of measles that has killed three Ukrainians in January, pushing some schools to extend the school holidays to avoid further contagions.

Last year, 4.782 cases of this disease, including five with fatal outcome have been recorded in the ex-soviet republic. And since the beginning of January, nearly 2.100 Ukrainians were contaminated: three are dead, including two children.

In 2016, the measles vaccination coverage has been 42% for the first dose received in a year, the third lowest in the world in 2016, according to Unicef. Last year, this figure rose to 93 % for the first dose and 91% for the second, in six years, according to Kiev. But the delay accumulated for years is far from being bridged. ""We are making progress, but we have not yet settled everything,"" said to AFP the Unicef representative in Ukraine Giovanna Barberis, adding that the world Health Organization (WHO) recommends a rate of 98 % for prevention of hospitalization massive and fatal cases. The figures put forward by the Ukrainian authorities are also to be taken with a grain of salt. The vaccination is in principle compulsory (even if no sanction is provided for those who do not), many parents are wary of vaccines are preferred to pay bribes to doctors to obtain false certificates of vaccination, distorting the statistics. According to a study carried out in 2016, 52 % of health professionals had requests for fake certificates of vaccination, said Ms. Barberis. Diphtheria ? The country has already experienced several outbreaks of measles, the most serious of which, in 2006, had contaminated more than 40,000 people. The authorities had launched a vaccination campaign, but the death in 2008 of a teenager immunized with a vaccine manufacturing indian non-certified only strengthened the suspicion. If the official investigation had concluded that the vaccine was not responsible for the death, it has not convinced the public opinion. In the Face of the current outbreak, the authorities of Odessa, where all the fatal cases of measles have been recorded, have prolonged the school holidays. The mayor of Kiev, for its part, has decided to ban access to schools for students who are not vaccinated. If she soon relaxed, in this action, this announcement has pushed a lot of parents, including those who refused for years to immunize emergency their children. Oleksandra Filatova, a mother of five children, came to the hospital with her two daughters of five and ten years that she had never previously immunized. ""I've heard all kinds of terrible stories about children that are paralyzed or who have stopped talking,"" she says. Now, ""they will receive all the necessary immunizations. After the measles, it's going to do the other"", she says. In the program: pertussis (whooping cough), tetanus, diphtheria... The Ukraine holds the record of the vaccination rate is the lowest in the world in 2016 for these three diseases, for which only 19 % of children under one year were immunized and 48 % the following year, according to Unicef.

The make vulnerable to diseases. In the case of a viral infection, the immune system learns, and the attacker knows to fend off in the future. This is usually the case. It is different in the case of measles. How two research teams have independently of each other, and each with different approaches discovered ways paralyzes the measles virus, the immune system in a sustainable way. ""It has been observed previously that people are after a measles disease more prone to other infections. Up to now we did not know why this is so,“ said the study's leader, in the first study, Velislava Petrova, compared to science.ORF.at. To solve the puzzle, studied and compared the Immunologist of the University of Cambridge and the Wellcome Sanger Institute and colleagues, the immune cells of 26 unvaccinated children and adolescents before and after the measles infection.

The calls on the body's own immune police. ""The immune system recognizes the infected cells as dangerous and destroys them. Thus, the previously accumulated Knowledge is deleted, the immune memory,"" said Petrova, the result of the Study from the ""journal Science, Immunology"". Info, According to the world health organization (WHO) saw a decline in measles cases between 2000 and 2016 to 84 percent. In recent years, the disease cases are increasing in number, however, Alone in the first three months of 2019 to 300 percent more children are sick with the measles than in the same period the year before. 2017 110,000 people worldwide died of measles. The Virus attacks but also naive B-cells - those cells that are not yet come up with any Virus in contact. Their task is to form in an attack by unknown parasites, and viruses, antibodies, so the body can fight back. So you are the first important line of defense in our immune system in the fight against new infections. ""The naive B-cells are produced in the bone marrow. We already know from previous animal studies with macaques that the measles virus can invade the bone marrow, there are cells to infest and eventually kill.“ The Virus prevents the bone marrow in addition to be a part of it, to produce new B-cells. In the second study, from the journal ""Science"" researchers investigated the antibody in unvaccinated children before and after they had the measles. As the team of researchers from the Harvard University with the help of a virus scans, fixed, missing two months after the measles disease eleven to 73 percent of the previously existing antibodies. In vaccinated children, there was this anti-body loss. Long-term effects: Moderate sick As previous studies showed, laying the measles virus the body's defenses in some cases, even for years, lahm, said Petrova. In this Phase, the risk is particularly high, to be sick. According to scientists, the measles are on this way for half of all fatal infections in children worldwide, responsible. Both teams of researchers, therefore, stress the importance of measles vaccination. Unlike the measles virus, the immune system is faced by the vaccination using a harmless Virus, the very specific measles characteristics. In this way, the body prepares its own defense system to the Virus and can respond in case of an infection to it. ""The Virus is not faced again, the immune system it infected, and destroyed it.

You ask to Catanzaro a patient after a visit, Catanzaro it back to Lamezia. From this hospital is doing a search throughout the region, but there is no place. The woman remains for a day and a half, about, without knowing where it can find shelter. Calabria does not have places to hospitalize a woman with measles? Thanks to the availability of doctors of Lamezia and Catanzaro, there is a solution that, however, was not longer be delayed. This happens to the Health of calabria, and in detail, in the province of Catanzaro. In Lamezia, there is only one infettivologo, when there was a department of infectious diseases, that received the sick from outside the region. Completely dismantled the department, today it is materially empty, it asks where and how you can work this one infettivologo in service at the hospital.

"2227","1527 cases of measles have been identified since the beginning of the year 2018 and 1605 from the November 6, announced Public Health France on 11 April. ""51% of cases (819) are reported in the region Nova-Aquitaine, the only region in an epidemic,"" says the health agency, as cited by AFP. In particular, in the Gironde, where 547 cases were reported, and in Haute-Vienne (138 cases). Measles is an infectious disease caused by a highly contagious virus that affected previously, especially young children from the age of 5-6 months. This is no longer the case : a third of the reported cases concerning persons over the age of 15. However, the cases of measles in adults are potentially more dangerous. The epidemic, which started in Bordeaux by the end of 2017, has been a victim of 32 years in Poitiers in January last. ""An extension of the epidemic is feared because no department has currently reached the levels required to interrupt circulation of the virus in 95% of vaccine coverage at two years for both doses of the vaccine"", warns public Health France. Young children and teenagers are the most affected Since November 2017, 327 persons were hospitalized : 138 had a severe form of measles, and 16 were transported to the icu. Nothing in 2018, and 19 hospitalizations were recorded, of which 14 were for forms of measles complicated. On the totality of persons infected since the beginning of winter, 926 people were not vaccinated, 166 had received a single dose of the two needed to protect them from the virus. As shown in the left chart below, the highest incidence for children under the age of 1 year with a rate of 15.1 per 100 000. Then the children of 1 to 4 years (310 cases per 100 000 inhabitants) and adolescents 15 to 19 years (230 cases per 100 000 inhabitants). Measles and vaccine the graph on The right shows him, that the majority of people infected were not vaccinated. Almost 90% of children under the age of 1 year were not, more than 70% of the 5 to 9 years of age and 80% of the 10-14 year olds. More than 70% of 15-19%. were not vaccinated. There is no specific treatment. Treat measles, it is only combat the symptoms, the fever, the cough, the itch and the complications (pneumonia, encephalitis). The government has, therefore, called on the people born after 1980 to check whether they had been vaccinated. In fact, the only way to avoid getting measles is to get vaccinated. Very effective, the vaccination is only contra-indicated in people allergic to egg white, immunocompromised and pregnant women. Traditionally, the regimen consists of the injection of a dose of MMR vaccine (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) at 12 months and then a second injection between 16 and 18 months. For people who have never been vaccinated against measles, catch-up is possible. It consists of the injection of two doses of vaccine at least one month apart. In the event of an outbreak, it is possible to receive the vaccine up to 72 hours after contact with a person suffering from measles to prevent the occurrence of the disease (catch-up vaccination). The vaccination coverage in France (the number of vaccinated people) is between 70 and 80% depending on the region. However, measles being highly contagious, the vaccination coverage should be above 95% if we hope to end the disease, as is the european project for which France is committed. This is already the case in the netherlands for example, where routine vaccination has enabled the eradication of the disease. We are gifts go far enough. The measles, like the promiscuous measles is an infectious disease of viral origin, eruptive and very contagious, which is linked to a ""paramyxovirus"". It is transmitted mainly by air : when a sick person who is contagious coughs, he sends for example, in the air of micro-droplets of saliva infected with virus. It is also possible to get measles after contact with a surface contaminated by nasal secretions and sputum. To spread, virus-like, therefore, the promiscuity, the meetings. What could be more favourable than that of a campus student ? It is one of the university campus that is part of the epidemic of Bordeaux. The phase of contagiousness starts the day before the first symptoms appear, and extends up to 5 days after the beginning of the appearance of the buttons. Thus, a person who is infected, according to the specialists, infecting 15 to 20 others. During the epidemic of 2011, more than 15,000 people were infected and 10 deaths had been identified. Since 2008, more than 23 000 cases of measles were reported in France and more than 1000 cases of measles have led to complications and sequelae. Measles may be complicated, especially in infants or in persons with fragile, and lead to a hospitalization. It is primarily a pneumonia with superinfection by bacteria. It is a serious infection of the lung that can lead the patient in the icu. Then, it is a risk of viral infection of the brain (""encephalitis""). These complications can lead to death, and give of pulmonary sequelae and neurological life. Measles at the global level It is still a cause of death important in children in a poor state of health, but the world Health Organization (WHO) did a colossal job. Between 2000 and 2005, more than 300 million children aged nine months to fifteen years of age were vaccinated or vaccinated again. In 20015, nearly 77 % of the world's population was vaccinated, resulting in a reduction of mortality : less than 345 000 deaths this year on 20 million patients.

""We will be the first state to set up such a Plan. Our goal is to reach an Immunization level of 95 percent,“ said Kolat. A vaccination is the best and safest protection against measles and rubella. The infection to root diseases, need to be immunized 95 percent of the population. Measles is worldwide a major cause of death in children. In Germany, it always comes back to sometimes large outbreaks with fatalities. Dramatically, the Situation in Berlin in 2015, with 1400 cases, and one was dead. Rubella, especially in early pregnancy is dangerous, can lead to miscarriage or severe disability to the Unborn. ""This year we have had so far in Berlin, 41 measles cases, the average of the past few years, there were 61. But that is no reason for complacency,“ said Kolat. In Italy, for instance, in this year of 3,800 measles cases and three Deaths. ""Who goes there in the holidays should be vaccinated,"" said the Senator. Health Minister Hermann Gröhe (CDU) warned that in Germany many children were vaccinated too late and had no age-appropriate Vaccinations. Also problematic is the measles were gaps in adolescents and young adults. Lowest vaccination Coverage of all German States, The Berlin action plan, however, contains not only measurable strategic objectives, but, above all, concrete proposals, such as the vaccination Coverage can be increased. ""We need to reach more and more people to get vaccinated. Go to the doctor and get vaccinated.‘ This simple message has to be supported with campaigns,“ said the Health Minister. In children, Berlin reached at the first vaccination a rate of more than 95 percent. In the case of the second immunization, however, she is only at 92 percent. The was 2016, the lowest Coverage of all provinces. ""This means that we need to inform more and promote, especially in the case of the parents,"" says Kolat. After the big holiday, Berlin's schools were equipped with a so-called Impfkoffer. It is 160 pages of teaching material, prepared by the state office for health and social Affairs together with the health insurance company AOK. To close the Impflücke in young adults and people moving to Berlin, the administration is increasingly on the principle of ""outreach vaccination"". So a Impfmobil could start-up in cooperation with the physicians ' Association of enterprises and universities. Kolat also expects that indicates the legal Change in the Kita-area of effect. ""If parents provide the day-to-enrollment for your children, no vaccination details, it can now be reported to the health authorities, which was previously not possible,"" she explained. From 2018, will be to coordinate the health administration, in addition, an additional staff, the implementation of the action plan. The SPD politician also announced a strengthening and ""political upgrading"" of the district health offices. These should be placed in the coming years, with a further 420 employees better. However, around 150 Posts in the public health are already currently service is not occupied. In order to win, in particular Doctors, should this be in the future paid better.

"1740","Measles was taken the vaccine program in 1975. In 1982 was started in MMR vaccinations, which protect against measles in addition to mumps and rubella. Vaccination with endemic diseases were eradicated in Finland. Yet in the 1960s, measles was in Finland very common, and until the 1990s had larger epidemics. This year Finland has reported a total of nine infected. Pirkanmaa has been sick four vaccinated adults and the Savonlinna region has been found this summer, five measles cases. The infection sources related to both cases of the Italian measles epidemic. We compiled 10 questions and answers on measles Health and welfare of the institution special expert Mia kontio, with the assistance of. 1. How is measles contagious? Measles is a paramyxovirus-induced and it's very contagious on contact or droplet infection by air. The incubation period from infection to the first onset of symptoms ranges from 7-21 days. General itämisiaka is about 10 days. 2 What are measles symptoms? Early symptoms are high fever and respiratory symptoms such as cough. The eyes are often sensitive to light. The symptoms are initially the typical flu-like, rash on the rise 3-5 days after fever onset. 3. What to do if you suspect you have measles? Measles infects so easily, that you first should contact by telephone with the health centre. There is controlled sampling in a place where there is no risk to infect others. 4. How is the disease diagnosed? The actual virus is detected in the pharyngeal swabs. The patient will also be taken blood samples, where the specified antibody can be found, whether the person has measles, but also whether he has previously sairastetun disease or vaccination give protection. 5. How exceptional is that a properly vaccinated get sick? It is rare, but not particularly exceptional. Vaccinated the disease picture is usually the easiest and the disease milder than unvaccinated, and serious sequelae have not been reported. People who are infected with measles, usually do not get sick again. 6. In europe, measles outbreaks in many countries. Dare you in the countries you travel to? Yes dare, as long as you make sure the vaccination to protect her. THL recommends avoiding travel to epidemic area, if your vaccination protection is not all right or the child is an un-vaccinated. 7. Is groups, which, in particular, should check the vaccination to protect her? Most likely without protection against disease are in the late 1960s and early 70s were born. They are not necessarily ill with the disease, but have not received the vaccine, which was introduced in the vaccination programme until the year 1975. Your vaccination information is found in the vaccination card or if it is not, they can search the archives of that board, where is the child lived. If there is no certainty of vaccine protection, vaccine take of again not dangerous. 8. Now Pirkanmaa sufferers say that their illness is likely contagious – where this is known? They had received the relevant vaccinations. The amount of virus in them is very low compared to what it would be unvaccinated patients. In addition, there is no evidence that the vaccinated were infected with measles continue. 9. Why measles is considered dangerous? Many middle-aged to remember she had the disease as a child without big problems. Yes, in time, measles caused problems, there were deaths and severe sequelae. They disappeared when the vaccination was started. Today in the news be individual cases of the disease in a different way than back then. 10. In italy, measles has caused an epidemic – do you have any reason to fear an epidemic? I don't believe so, because vaccination coverage, we have a good and it will provide herd protection. This was seen for example, in 2011, when the last major epidemic in Europe and in finland, too, there were 27 cases of disease. They do not, however, left much to spread. A local epidemic of course, can arise if you happen to seize a person on the scene, with a lot of unvaccinated persons.

The order also considers positively the passing of the old distinction between the vaccines “required” by law (diphtheria, tetanus, polio and hepatitis B) and “recommended” and confirms that, for the protection of the health of children, are needed in addition to the 4 vaccines historically mandatory, all others provided for in the PNPV which are of primary importance or real life-saving for babies. The point is that in order to protect young children not yet immunized and the small percentage of cases of cases of those who, despite having been subjected to all the vaccinations recommended, have not developed an antibody reaction sufficient to protect them adequately it is necessary to maintain a high percentage of vaccinated subjects in order to ensure the immunity of the population.

Hence, there is a group of the population” you don't even need the vaccine or had the disease, and, for this reason, it is not to be minimized. This will be the case for some of the health professionals in the current outbreak of measles that first appeared at the Hospital de Santo António (Porto, portugal) seem to be the main vehicle of the disease. “In fact, the medical profession, end up in contact with the patient and, therefore, they are exposed to it.

Not to get a vaccine is not “reasonable,” The president of the Association of General and Family Medicine believes that the Uk has ' an excellent coverage of the vaccine” and it says that in the 30 years of my career, I never was sick with the measles”. But “now, a number of european countries have a trend of not vaccinating. It is not” reasonable, critical thinking.

"2224","In Germany, the debate between the proponents of compulsory vaccination against measles and its opponents has been revived in recent weeks by the christian democrat, Jens Spahn. The federal minister of Health has promised for the next month a bill to make it mandatory for the vaccine for children attending a creche or a school. Its goal is to eradicate this potentially fatal disease, whose occurrences continue to do the yo-yo in the country. The vaccination rate reaches 95 % in the Rhine for the first injection, but it falls to 92.9 % for the second, which is insufficient to overcome the measles. Approximately every two years, the country has experienced an epidemic peak, the last having taken place in 2017, with a threefold increase in the number of cases, that is, 929 according to the Robert Koch Institute. But, during the first three months of this year, 263 cases have again been reported, portending a new peak in 2019. First strings recall The last record was reached in 2015, with 2.465 case. At that time, a law had been enacted, obliging the parents of children who are candidates for a place in the nursery to demonstrate that they had indeed had a consultation council on vaccination, without, however, obliging them to proceed with the vaccine. A second law on the modernization of epidemiological surveillance adopted from 2017 to kindergartens to inform the health authorities in the case of parents who have not made this visit in order to be able to push. These strings of recall are apparently not enough, and reinforces Jens Spahn, as the minister, social-democrat family Affairs Franziska Giffrey, in their desire to make it mandatory for the vaccine. The Land of Brandeburg took the lead, his Parliament having loaded last week the regional government to impose the vaccination to the children. The minister of health of Rhineland-of-North-Westphalia, in which 94 cases were reported between January and march, also shows his support. The vaccine divides the regions In other regions, however, are more reluctant, preferring to bring more awareness to their inhabitants the benefits of vaccination, including in Bavaria and Hesse, where respectively 31 and 17 cases of measles have yet been reported in the first quarter. The opponents of compulsory vaccination at the federal level, including the Greens, point out that, to be constitutional, it would be necessary to demonstrate that it pursues a legitimate aim and the means used is necessary and appropriate.

Both adults and children who haven’t had or are not up to date with their 2 doses of the MMR vaccine can receive it from their local GP.  Dr Mary Ramsay, Head of Immunisation at PHE, says:  “The measles outbreaks we are currently seeing in England are linked to ongoing large outbreaks in Europe. People who have recently travelled, or are planning to travel to Romania, Italy and Germany and have not had 2 doses of the MMR vaccine are particularly at risk.”    ""This serves as an important reminder for parents to take up the offer of MMR vaccination for their children at 1 year of age and as a pre-school booster at 3 years and 4 months of age.""  What are the Symptoms of Measles?  Symptoms similar to that of the common cold usually signifies the start of Measles and appear around 10 days after becoming infected.

The warning appears to come from a bygone era. And yet, it is this Thursday that the world health Organization (WHO) alert on an outbreak of measles in Europe and announces scratch four countries from the list of nations believed to be safe, including the United Kingdom. Why this highly contagious disease, which may be offset by the preventive vaccination, can she come back strong in the end of the decade ? Between distrust of vaccine and difficulty of access to health care, The Express train made the point on a public health challenge. The symptoms of a dreaded killer of children measles is a viral disease highly contagious, affecting mainly people of non or badly vaccinated. It is characterized by eruption of red spots on the skin. Before the arrival of the vaccines in the 1970s, it was considered to be a dreaded killer of children (7 to 8 million deaths estimated by year in the world). It is caused by a virus that spreads very easily by direct contact or through the air. This viral disease, which mainly affects children, but not only, is more contagious than Ebola, or the flu. After an incubation phase, the disease is characterized by a high fever, runny nose, cough, watery eyes... In a second time, appear red spots. The disease is contagious four days before and after this eruption. READ ALSO >> the measles Vaccine: ""A double responsibility"", Often mild, measles can cause serious complications, respiratory (lung infections) and neurological (encephalitis), especially in frail people. There is no specific antiviral treatment and the care of the patient endeavours to treat complications. Health authorities worldwide insist on the importance of the vaccine, at the individual level but also collective : high vaccination coverage (95% of the population) protects persons who cannot themselves be vaccinated, especially because of their weakened immune system (leukemia, treatment for anti-rejection after a transplant, etc.). The number of deaths goes back for 2017 In the world, the number of deaths due to measles had decreased greatly since the beginning of the years 2000 through 2016, thanks to vaccination campaigns : the balance sheet WHO for 2016 was a state of 90 000 people, compared to 550 000 in 2000. But it is back up to 110 000 in 2017. According to the united Nations Fund for children (Unicef), 98 countries have reported a larger number of cases in 2018 than in 2017. 10, including Ukraine, Brazil and France, were responsible for three-quarters of the total increase.

Based on figures for 2018, the WHO has downgraded the United Kingdom, Greece, Czech Republic and Albania, where the disease is no longer considered to be ""eliminated"". In the world, more than 360 000 cases have been reported since January, the figures ""the highest"" since 2006, and almost three times more than for the same period last year, according to the WHO. The democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Madagascar and the Ukraine are the countries most affected. Due to the distrust of vaccines, but not only In the rich countries, this increase is largely attributed to a distrust of vaccines in general and MMR (measles/mumps/rubella) in particular. According to a global survey published in June, France takes the lead of this skepticism, with one in three respondents who do not believe that vaccines are safe. In this attitude of distrust, the home of the pioneer of vaccination Louis Pasteur is followed by the Gabon, Togo, Russia and Switzerland. A lot of""anti-vax"" is based on a publication from 1998 linking the MMR vaccine and autism. However, it has been established that its author, the British Andrew Wakefield, had falsified his results, and many studies have since shown that the vaccine did not increase the risk of autism.

Vaccination study sees global crisis, A vaccine trial has recently let you sit up and take notice. People in high-income countries around the world have the least confidence in vaccinations. This is the result of a mid-June study published by the British charity Wellcome. This speaks of a ""global crisis"". In Western Europe, is mistakenly 22 percent according to the survey, that vaccinations are dangerous, in France, there are even 33 percent. In Austria, 21 percent agreed with this statement.

The Wellcome-communication Manager, Imran Khan, was ""taken aback"" by the ""extent of differences"" in the perception of vaccinations. For Austria, it is noted that it look it, more and more people don't vaccinate their children. The success for fear of negative effects, skepticism about the effectiveness of vaccines and mistrust of the pharmaceutical industry, the report said. Eleven percent of the Austrians disagreed with the statement that vaccinations are not effective, twelve percent find them important for children. Confidence in the affected countries have particularly high, The lack of confidence in vaccines in wealthy countries, described Khan as a ""neglect-effect"". A high level of trust there, especially in countries with more infectious diseases. In developed countries, however, the risk to be infected is usually low, even without immunization.

It would be the 27th death resulted from complications of the disease, whether the diagnosis will be confirmed by experts in germany. The kid would have got the disease from her mother, a teenaged girl of 16 years of age, who has not been vaccinated. The little girl was admitted into the hospital about a week ago, at the Infectious Diseases Hospital in Craiova. Because she has gotten worse in the last two days, he was taken to the Emergency Hospital of Craiova, and is admitted to the Intensive care unit. However, there was nothing more to be done in order to be saved, and on Thursday he passed away. According to doctors, the little girl contracted the disease from her mother, a teenaged girl of 16 years of age, who has not been vaccinated. Even if, in the Dolj county, there is currently a crisis of the vaccines, and the girl was of age to be immunized against measles. ""In this particular case, it's something very important to vaccinate against measles in the routine they do in a year or so, in a situation in which we find ourselves, with the outbreak in the first nine months, but the child is not protected, only the antibodies from the mother. Any disease, effusive, accompanied by fever, syndrome, infection, respiratory distress, need to be subject to the submission of an emergency at the doctor's. In children, it is strictly prohibited to the administration of aspirin. It can cause serious complications,” stated Alexandru Rafila, chairman of the Romanian Society of Microbiology.

"14812","In the past year reached the historical minimum of measles deaths worldwide, with slightly less than 90,000 who have died in all the planet, most of them children under the age of 5 years. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), is ""the first time that the number of deaths from measles is less than 100,000 per year."" However, this fact has been marred by the outbreaks that have taken place in several countries of Europe and in the US, where you have fired the cases, and have died dozens of people, ""Sadly, this excellent progress threatens to be undermined by low coverage, not only in many developing countries, but also in some rich countries,"" he said in a statement Seth Berkley, executive director of the Global Alliance for Vaccines (GAVI, its acronym in English). Some of the biggest measles outbreaks that occurred both during the past year, as in 2017 have taken place in OECD countries such as Italy, Germany or the US. In addition, in the last two months, the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC, for its acronym in English) has issued alerts for outbreaks of measles in England, Greece and Ukraine. The outbreak is most serious started at the beginning of 2016 in Romania, where it has already been posted 8.982 cases and 33 deaths, the vast majority children under the age of 2 years. Italy is the second european country with the most cases, with 4.444 and three deceased. The majority of those affected in both countries, 88% in Italy and over 95% in Romania, were not vaccinated. The coverage falls below 95% in the EU, ""Because measles is so infectious, it requires a much higher level of vaccination coverage to achieve immunity for collective than for other vaccines,"" explains Berkley. This implies that to get what is known as herd immunity and is able to stop the disease, the percentages of vaccination should always be above 95%, something that does not happen in the EU as a whole, which only reaches 90%. According to the ECDC, ""measles continues to spread in the whole Europe, since the vaccination coverage in many countries of the EU is not optimal"" and warns that ""if you want to reach the goal of elimination, the vaccination coverage rates for children should increase in several countries"". In addition, remember that ""the vaccination coverage of the second dose should be at least 95% to interrupt the circulation of measles"". The data currently available indicate that in 13 of the 27 countries of the union the coverage of the first dose of the vaccine reached 95% and only 7 countries comply with the coverage recommended for the second dose, between them Spain. In the two countries most affected by outbreaks, Italy and Romania, the coverage has fallen below 86% in recent years. Rate of immunization against measles World Bank ""We are very concerned because, although we have a vaccine which is safe, effective, and affordable, measles remains a leading cause of death among children around the world and, unfortunately, Europe has not been saved"", said the past month of July the regional director of WHO, Zsuzsanna Jakab. Social exclusion and movement antivacunas According to the ECDC, measles is no longer endemic in most of the european countries, where almost all of the outbreaks are the result of measles imported from Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Poland and Romania, the only countries in Europe where you follow producing transmissions that are endemic of this disease. But whether transmission is endemic or imported outbreaks remain common in all those countries where there are population subgroups that have low levels of immunity and, more specifically, in the areas of low coverage of immunization in children. The reasons for vaccination campaigns do not reach all the population needed differ greatly between countries and others. In Romania, although some institutions have pointed to the outcrop of the movements antivacunas in the country, the majority of the cases are related to the social exclusion and the lack of a national registry of child vaccination. A large part of the rural population or gypsy has major dificultes access to the healthcare system, to which we must add the vaccine shortages that affected the country until the middle of this year. In Italy, however, has also had an important role to distrust in vaccines planted by some political parties, such as the Movement 5 Stars, who campaigned with a program antivacunas, reiterating the non-existent link between vaccines and autism. Where the most influence have been the movements antivacunas has been in the outbreaks of measles that have occurred in recent years in the US. A study published last year pointed to these movements as being responsible for resurrecting this disease in the north american country, which led to the state of California to toughen its law. More recently, the state of Minnesota suffered its biggest outbreak in the last three decades. The measles vaccination has reduced the global mortality due to this cause in 84% between 2000 and 2016. In 2016, approximately 85% of the world's children received one dose of measles vaccine before reaching one year of life. A percentage that in the year 2000 was 72%. It is estimated that this increase has prevented more than 20 million deaths around the world. ",327,"spain"

Aurélien Rousseau, director general of the regional Agency of Health, pointed out, Thursday, November 8, on France Bleu Paris, it is important to vaccinate its children against measles : ""It is a disease, which behind its name that reminds of childhood, is highly contagious, as each person can infect 15 to 20 people.

The whole country is affected If the cases of Ebola are in sharp decline in the DRC, it is the measles that is a problem.

The disease is highly contagious and it is enough that one child in ten is not vaccinated to cause an epidemic. However, in some areas of the DRC, the problems of insecurity, especially in the East, sometimes hinder vaccination campaigns. Despite a difficult context, a broad campaign should be launched in the North Kivu province and in other provinces of the country to vaccinate about 19 million children under five years of age by the end of the year. This initiative, fully funded by the GAVI Alliance for immunization, surveillance and management of measles cases, should help to put an end to the current outbreak and eliminate measles as a public health threat in the DRC.",326,"france"

"5137","There are now 22 cases of Measles in the Mid-West region since the beginning of the year. The majority of these are in Limerick city and one is in Clare.  The HSE is advising that during this outbreak MMR vaccine is free of charge to the public as the HSE is paying for the vaccine and for the GPs to give the vaccine.  HSE Advice for adults  Advertisement  “We are asking all adults aged under 40 to check if they have had two doses of MMR and if not to arrange to get immunised by their GP,” a spokesman said.  “The following groups, in particular, should check if they have had two doses of MMR and if not, visit their GP to get immunised as soon as possible. If people do not have a medical record of their vaccination it is not harmful to have extra doses to be on the safe side.  Parents under the age of 40 who have never had measles or haven’t had the full course of MMR vaccine.  Adults under the age of 40 who work with the public. Some jobs pose more of a risk than others e.g. people who work with children, people who work in healthcare. This is as measles is very infectious and as this outbreak continues the risk of exposure continues.  Couples under the age of 40 who may be planning a family. This is as once a woman is pregnant she is unable to get the MMR vaccine until after the baby arrives. Measles increases the risk of miscarriage and still birth. There is no treatment available which reduces this risk.  Adults and young people under the age of 40 who plan to travel abroad in the coming months. There are a number of large outbreaks of measles in the UK, Europe and across the world currently. Measles can be transmitted easily within the confined space of an airplane to people who are non-immune.  HSE advice for children  The HSE says that it is also important that parents of children in the region also check if their children have had the vaccines appropriate for their age (1st one at 1 year, 2nd one in Junior Infants in primary school).  “Parents whose children are sitting exams may wish to prioritise this due to the potential disruption to their exams an infection could cause. It is also especially important in those who are planning to bring their children abroad.  “People who cannot get the MMR vaccine i.e. young infants, pregnant women and those whose immune systems are weakened (cancer patients etc.) are relying on the people around them who can get the MMR vaccine to help protect them.  HSE advice for people who have symptoms of measles infection (rash, fever, cough, temperature)  Stay at home from work. Children should not attend school or creche.  Call the Department of Public Health at 061 – 483338 to advise that you think you/your child may have measles.  Telephone your GP so that they can see you at a time/place when no one else is there (to avoid infecting others).  Your GP may organise a test to confirm the diagnosis – this is usually done by using a small swab that takes a sample of the oral fluid from the mouth.  “Patients with symptoms of measles should avoid presenting to the emergency department where possible. If it is necessary to seek urgent care, it is important to inform the ambulance service or emergency department that you have symptoms consistent with measles beforehand so that the appropriate precautions can be taken. Similarly, if you have been in contact with a confirmed case of measles and are seeking medical attention, please inform the healthcare provider before attending.  “Measles is a serious public health issue. It is so contagious that if one person has it, 90% of the people close to that person who are not immune will also become infected. It is spread easily through coughing and sneezing. Measles can lead to serious complications such as pneumonia and inflammation of the brain and can, in rare cases, lead to a fatal disease of the brain which develops years after the infection.  The only effective protection against measles is two doses of the MMR vaccine.  The outbreak of measles in the Mid-West demonstrates that measles is not just a childhood illness, around half of the cases are adults aged less than 40 years of age.  Adults older than 40 tend to be immune as measles was very common when they were children and they probably had the infection.  Adults younger than 40 may not have immunity as they probably haven’t had the infection before and they may not have had the MMR vaccine. The MMR vaccine was introduced to Ireland in 1988 so many adults in this age group may have missed out on getting it or may not have had the full course of two doses.  This means that they are at high risk of getting measles if they come in contact with someone who has it. Many adults this age also have young children, which means they are more likely to be exposed to measles and may in turn expose their babies and young children to it if they get it.  An Outbreak Control Team made up of representatives from the HSE is involved in managing the outbreak in an effort to prevent further spread. This involves following up on every case of measles or suspected measles, arranging vaccination for people who have been in contact with someone who is infected and holding immunisation clinics.  The HSE also spoke about pricing in relation to the vaccine “Please note that patients are entitled to receive the MMR vaccine free of charge from their GP. Patients should not be charged for this service.”  For more information on measles see: http://www.hpsc.ie/a-z/vaccinepreventable/measles/  For more information about the MMR see www.immunisation.ie/  For more health stories click here",325,"ireland"

The debate around the precautionary protection is coming to a head. ""Vaccinations make sense,"" says Dr. Holger Theek, specialist for Pediatrics and youth medicine from Bassum, in a telephone interview. The questions were asked by Lisa-Marie Rumann. A doctor in Leer has decided to treat any opponents in his practice. What do you think of his decision? I can relate to the part. It is often tired, always on the need for vaccination should be noted. I handle it in my practice but not. The FDP calls for the legal obligation to be vaccinated for Mumps, measles, rubella (MMR). You can see a duty as useful? There are two souls to rest in my chest. I don't know whether or not an obligation target is a leader or whether you prefer to be more in awareness-raising campaigns should be invested. Many people argue as follows: ""My parents did not vaccinate and still live."" Such statements have not been researched enough and not thought through. The thought process is not timely, great diseases there are. And if you set the Vaccination, the company in a Situation such as currently, with the measles. What is side effects, which could be an argument of the opponents walls would be? No. The MMR vaccine, it can happen that the body temperature rises slightly, or local redness and swelling may occur. Since I'm injecting the vaccine in a healthy body, I'm quite glad, if something happens. This shows that the immune system works. How can you control Impfgegnern the most effective counter? With a reasonable, calm conversation about the pros and Cons of a vaccination. However, there will be always people who are easy to convince. We continue as before: We point everyone who enters our practice of vaccinations. Often the patient can then be made on the same day. The Internet plays its part to the vaccination debate? Pretty sure I believe that. Searches on the net only deliver the worst results. When I ask parents in my practice, whether you share positive or non-event cases in the network, answer no. Eckhart von hirschhausen says: ""Who can not be vaccinated, is a ruthless freeloaders."" – Would you subscribe to that? Yes, he's right, of course!

These five States nearly half of all reported cases is eliminated ultimately. But also in the USA, which were previously thought to be measles-free, the tendency is rising again - the country has recorded so many cases for 25 years. Fluctuating Numbers in Germany In Germany, according to information from the Robert Koch Institute from January until the end of November 501 measles cases counted - 2018 in the same period, 528 cases. The Numbers in Germany vary from year to year, however very. They were in the past ten years, between 165 and 2465 cases per year. For stronger protection, the Bundestag approved in November a law for compulsory vaccination. It should 1. March enter into force in 2020. Include measles symptoms is a rash of the oral mucosa and the characteristic brownish-pink spots on the skin. The infection temporarily weakens the immune system, so that it is easier to otitis media, Bronchitis, pneumonia, or diarrhea.

"13013","Is a professor in the department of Microbiology of the School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, New York, in addition to director of the Institute of Global Health and Emerging Pathogens dependent on the first city. He travels frequently to his homeland, from where he left 28 years ago with the intention of being only two in the united States. Believes that science knows no borders, and that the only thing you need is the means to develop it. His extensive and outstanding curriculum as a researcher has led him to be a member of the American Academy of Microbiology, the International Society of Vaccines, or of the Royal Academy of Pharmacy of Spain, among other entities. These and many other acknowledgements will add up today the doctor honoris causa by the University of Burgos, just a month after that I did the biochemistry Margarita Salas. His first honoris causa and in your home. What do you feel? A lot of illusion, excitement and great honor that I hope to share with family and friends. Do you at some point in their life imagined that at 54 years old I was going to have the ultimate recognition in the academic world? No, I have never raised that. I have always gone almost day-to-day, studying at first and then investigating, trying to move forward... And there comes a time where it seems that no time has passed and it is a great honor to be able to look back and say that I have a nice career research. I've also had a lot of luck during the entire race and I've been able to do what I really wanted, and also have many people who have helped me in all that I have managed to do. I have worked a lot and I like what I do. There are many years ahead. Yes (laughter). We have to try to get the new flu shots, which is not going to be easy. But that is also beautiful. When one comes to a point in a research career in which notes what you have done, that the fruits that come out, can give rise to an impact on the health, as a new vaccine or antiviral one feels a great satisfaction. In your case, and to the contrary of what is said, is a prophet in his own land... The truth is that Burgos has treated me very well from the beginning. I was invited to the Congress of Virology which was held in the year 2013 as a rapporteur star. Leads based in New York since 1991. What was with the intention not to return? I went in thinking that it is normal to come back in two years. I went with my wife, who had completed the bachelor's degree in Biology, and I had completed the thesis. I got a postdoctoral position at New York with the idea of being two years and then, if there was any possibility, to return to Spain with scholarship reinstatement or contracts. The truth is that I had a contract with the University of Salamanca, which was in force for almost three years. What happens is that there came a moment in which he had to decide whether to come back or not and my wife had started to do the thesis. It was very difficult to find a job in research for two persons and in the same site and, as things were simpler there, we decided to stay. What is there the possibility of returning? It is difficult, but on the other hand New York is very close to Spain. For my lab, passing many Spanish and science is international. The most important thing is that you have the tools and they give you what you need to be able to investigate. Once you have that, it doesn't matter that you're in New York, Spain, Germany or Australia. You have a research group that is international and I consider myself almost like a Spanish laboratory in New York. How does it feel to treaty a scientist in the united States? There is a lot of pressure and competitiveness to achieve publish. We are always working to try to get money and to be able to investigate further. The difference with Spain is that there is money. There is a lot of competition to get it, but if one endeavors, he has luck and struggle, you can accomplish this, while here it is much more difficult because there is very little money. What would you say their Spanish counterparts in this regard? They are all very unhappy, some disappointed... I have people in my lab who was almost a research position in Spain, but because he could not make the plaza permanent or that she failed to find work came back and they are working with me. It is very difficult to be a researcher in Spain. Now that we are in pre-campaign, the politicians are busy promising the recovery of the talent that left. Is this possible? What is needed now is not so much to recover we have gone out, as keeping those who are inside, that they are very good. Are fighting for four euros to be able to continue to maintain his laboratory. If you put money to science should devote himself to strengthen and help those who are now in the country. Why here is not serious about research as it happens in other countries? For some reason it has not been considered a priority by the science and research as well as other things, perhaps by obtaining votes or whatever, but the case is that he has not been given the priority that has been the case in other countries such as the united States, Germany or England. Is specialized in the study of influenza with the goal of achieving a universal vaccine. At what point are we? We are at times very optimistic because there are new ideas, including those that we are developing in my lab in collaboration with others, that have not been tested and I hope that you will try in the next few years. They have very good preclinical results, that is to say, in animal models where they work very well and give protection against any strain that we know right now of the flu virus. The challenge is to bring these studies to the clinic and test if those methods also work in humans. The human clinical trials are very laborious, costly and take many years. If one wants to prove that a flu vaccine protects you for ten years, one has to do follow-up studies during that time a large group of vaccinated to prove that the cases are less than those that occur in people vaccinated with the current. Possibly, less years if as we work with them we find out what is the mechanism of protection of vaccines, so that we can measure something that tells us that this person is protected without the need to wait to see if it is infected or not. Even with this it takes at least 6 years to prove if these methods of vaccination work, in addition to a lot of funding and work. Can we speak then of the deadlines for this vaccine? In six years we will know if these new methods of vaccination work and we will begin to have an idea of if we are near a universal vaccine against the flu. Anyway, if the end does not work this universal vaccine, what it's going to be, are the improvements in the form of vaccination against the flu. The greater part of which there are now are the fruit of a technology that was developed 40 years ago, they work but not as well as they could and there are methods now to be able to improve the capacity of protection of the seasonal vaccine. What would? Such a universal vaccine would forget about having to get vaccinated each year. Do it once in your life and not have to worry about if there is infection or not by the virus. We were scared when they come in a pandemic or when there are more years of hard, but the flu kills a lot of people and we hope that that can be finished with a good vaccine. The HUBU registered last year 83 cases of severe flu, complicated with other diseases, eight of which ended in death. How do I interpret that number? There are multiply this by the number of people there are in the world. If there has been eight a year in Burgos, and now we add the rest of the provinces of Spain and of countries, these eight cases are multiplied in a fairly significant amount and if they could be prevent, it is a saving of suffering and of people who lose. Why is it so important to the vaccination? Vaccination is very important because it not only prevents or reduces the possibility of having an infection, or if you have to be severe, but the other effect is that it reduces the transmission capacity. That is to say, not only diminishes the capacity of that you have the disease, but also that you transmit to other people, which in some cases may have conditions in which the vaccine does not work well because they are immunosuppressed. Why don't we hear of bird flu? Because maybe we have become accustomed to a little. I have never been one who thought that bird flu was going to be the one that would jump to humans and cause a pandemic, that you can never predict. Still having flu avian, but are located in different places of the world, fortunately not in Spain, that cause problems still in birds. There are cases of humans who remain infected, mostly in Asia and Africa, but few. The virus keeps changing, and at any time you can give us a surprise. The important thing is not to say that there are years that can cause more or less problems. The flu is something that always exists, and pandemics will always be. The last was not very severe and the next that we will, if we do not manage to get before shots that manage to stop it, again we will be without knowing how severe it will be or not. With be 5 times more severe than the seasonal, would cause already a great number of problems because the hospitals do not have the number of beds needed to accommodate people who become sick, there would be many more deaths and would be again talking about why and what we have done against the flu. Lately, outbreaks of measles or mumps. What is it? To not vaccinate. Unfortunately there has been false rumors that the vaccination can lead to adverse side effects and there are a lot of skeptical and a lot of information that is not appropriate on the internet. That leads to groups of people decide that it is better not to get the vaccine because it has risks and if you have a healthy, normal and balanced, you're not going to have a disease like the measles, which is not true. Vaccination is the best that there is to be able to avoid the measles, there is no other method of prevention. As an expert in virology, what would you say to those parents who refuse to vaccinate their children? That their children can die of measles. This disease is like the flu, usually does not kill a person, but there are cases that we don't know for what, can cause death. Not only that, but you are also putting at risk other children who may be contact. It is the responsibility as parents and as members of society to be able to use the measures that are needed to prevent that their children can have a life-threatening disease. Are measures secure and it is proven that vaccines do not cause these adverse effects. Do you think that the authorities should do something about it, as has happened in a New York county that has prohibited non-vaccinated children from attending public spaces? The measures that can be taken without causing the social disruption are a political problem. Here the most affected are the children, who are suffering from the measles and are those who do not go to school. Then, I don't know exactly what is the best solution but we have to take it jointly as a society. There are different measures that can be taken to try to promote vaccination, but the important thing is not to forget that children are not guilty, but guilty of what happens are the parents. Returning to his scientific career, what achievement you are most proud? I like to work on vaccines, in trying to improve them, in oncolytic agents, which we attempt to develop new treatments against the cancer, but the greatest pleasure you get is when you make an experiment and discover something new, new biology. They are very nice moments in the career of a researcher and are the ones who make you keep working. What remains of that child that the Magi brought him a microscope? It is still there. I am still living the hobby of collecting insects, despite the fact that I fill my house and my parents ' boxes... The child is still there",318,"spain"

According to the health Department you are registered in the vaccination certificate, as well as the protection may be evidenced through a written laboratory report. In the case before 1970 Born, the probability is higher that she had contracted as a child to measles, and thus immune to be.

"2249","According to the Regional Agency of Health of New-Aquitaine, 16 cases of measles were reported in December on the university campus of Bordeaux and 38 new cases in the whole of the bordeaux conurbation. In total, 77 cases have been identified since November of 2017, including 12 hospitalizations. Measles is an infectious disease caused by a highly contagious virus that touched before, especially the small children from the age of 5-6 months. This is no longer the case : a third of the reported cases concerning persons over the age of 15. However, the cases of measles in adults are potentially more dangerous. The microbes strike groups measles is an infectious disease of viral origin, eruptive and very contagious, which is linked to a ""paramyxovirus"". It is transmitted mainly by the airborne route, for example when a sick person who is contagious coughs, he sends in the air of micro-droplets of saliva infected with virus. It is also possible to get measles after contact with a surface contaminated by nasal secretions and sputum. To spread, virus-like, therefore, the promiscuity, the meetings. What could be more favourable than that of a campus student ? It is one of the university campus that is part of the epidemic of Bordeaux. The phase of contagiousness starts the day before the first symptoms appear, and extends up to 5 days after the beginning of the appearance of the buttons. Thus, a person who is infected, according to the specialists, infecting 15 to 20 others. Only protection : vaccination is The only way to avoid getting measles is to get vaccinated. Very effective, the vaccine is only contraindicated in the allergic to egg white, in the immunocompromised, and pregnancy. Traditionally, the regimen consists of the injection of a dose of MMR vaccine (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) at 12 months and then a second injection between 16 and 18 months. For people who have never been vaccinated against measles, catch-up is possible. It consists of the injection of two doses of vaccine at least one month apart. In the event of an outbreak, it is possible to receive the vaccine up to 72 hours after contact with a person suffering from measles to prevent the occurrence of the disease (catch-up vaccination). A failure of the immunization policy in France In 1980, before widespread vaccination, there were 600, 000 cases of measles in France. The current outbreak of measles shows that France is still endemic situation vis-a-vis the measles, and that it is not immune to a new outbreak of magnitude as the card of the infections of 2017 makes it appear that the diagnostics are divided in rather homogeneous over the territory. The scenario of an epidemic is all the more credible that the immunization coverage is too low. Only 79 % of babies of 2 years old are vaccinated. However, with a virus of the level of contagiousness of the ""paramyxovirus"" of measles, it would be necessary to achieve 95 % vaccine coverage to prevent any circulation of the virus in France. Immunization coverage required in Europe France is far from isolated in the face of this resurgence of measles. Our neighbours italians, belgians and germans have been faced with a sudden increase in cases. Further to the east, Romania must also combat an outbreak that is very active. In Europe, a plan for measles elimination was set in place between 2005 and 2010. We are talking about elimination when no outbreak – however small - does not take place for a year or more. It is based on vaccination, where the logic of the vaccination requirement in France from 2018. Measles is not a benign disease The Regional Agency of Health of New-Aquitaine declares that, in the 77 cases reported since November 2017, twelve have led to a hospitalization, more than a 6 ! During the epidemic of 2011 in France, more than 15,000 people were infected and 10 deaths had been identified. Since 2008, more than 23 000 cases of measles were reported in France and more than 1000 cases of measles have led to complications and sequelae. Measles may be complicated, especially in infants or in persons with fragile, and lead to a hospitalization. It is primarily a pneumonia with superinfection by bacteria. It is a serious infection of the lung that can lead the patient in the icu. Then, it is a risk of viral infection of the brain ("" encephalitis ""). These complications can lead to death, and give of pulmonary sequelae and neurological life. Mobilization needed families and doctors In view of this situation, public Health in France recommend to families and health professionals to be vigilant. Measles became a notifiable disease in France. In the Face of a measles, the vaccine calendar of loved ones needs to be systematically verified. If the schema is incomplete, a catch-up vaccination or post-exposure prophylaxis will prevent the spread of the virus. For nearly 15 years, the surveillance had led to a decline in the number of cases and reduce the peak of the epidemic in the spring. The case of the Region-Aquitaine demonstrate that these efforts are being erased by the resistance of some to the vaccination ... so that the MMR vaccine does not even contain aluminum.

PHE said the five cases were in Brighton and Hove, and it is working with the NHS and the local authority in the city to advise how people can help protect themselves and their families.  Dr Peter English, consultant in communicable disease control for Public Health England South East, said: “Measles is not a harmless childhood illness as many think – it is extremely infectious, can strike anyone and sadly in some instances can have very serious long term and life changing consequences.  “The best form of protection against measles is the MMR vaccination. It is important that anyone who hasn’t already had two doses of the MMR vaccine contacts their GP surgery for an appointment to get vaccinated.  “Also remain alert to the symptoms of measles, which can include cold-like symptoms, sore red eyes, a high temperature and a red-brown blotchy rash. If you experience these symptoms seek medical attention but be sure to phone ahead before you visit your GP surgery or other healthcare setting, so arrangements can be made to prevent others from being infected.”  Measles signs and symptoms  The initial symptoms of measles develop around 10 days after a person is infected.  These can include:  - cold-like symptoms, such as a runny nose, sneezing, and a cough  - sore, red eyes that may be sensitive to light  - a high temperature (fever), which may reach around 40C (104F)  A few days later, a red-brown blotchy rash will appear. This usually starts on the head or upper neck, before spreading outwards to the rest of the body.  Symptoms usually resolve in about seven to 10 days.

"19815","Young people are encouraged to make sure they have had both doses of the MMR vaccine before going on holiday to Europe where there are large outbreaks of measles.  Cases of measles also continue to rise across England in unvaccinated people of this age.  The vaccine is available free to anyone who has not received both doses as a child. It protects against measles, mumps and rubella, all of which can be very serious diseases and are highly infectious.  While vaccine uptake levels in the UK in young children are currently very high, coverage levels dipped to a low of 80% in 2003. This means that there are significant numbers of unprotected teenagers and young adults who could catch measles both in England, particularly in environments of close mixing such as summer festivals and when they travel abroad for the summer holidays.  Measles is a highly infectious viral illness that can sometimes lead to serious complications and can be fatal in very rare cases so getting protected by taking up the offer of vaccination is crucial.  Between 1 January 2018 and 2 July 2018 there have been 738 laboratory confirmed measles cases in England. Cases were reported in most areas with London (262), the South-East (154), South-West (109), West Midlands (84) and Yorkshire and Humberside (76) reporting the most cases (based on provisional figures).  The World Health Organization ( WHO ) recommends that to prevent outbreaks of disease, 95% of people need to have received the MMR vaccine.  Dr Mary Ramsay, Head of Immunisation at Public Health England (PHE), said:  In the early 2000s there was a fall in MMR vaccination coverage in children and as a consequence, we are now seeing measles cases in young adults. Measles can be more serious in adults with a higher likelihood of hospitalisation and complications arising. Measles is circulating in England and the rest of Europe. We often think about what travel-related vaccines we might need before going on holiday, but it’s also important to check that we are up to date with routine vaccinations like MMR . If you are unsure if you have had 2 doses of MMR call your GP practice to check and catch up if needed.",315,"uk"

Had been cared for in the Child Jesus, she was healed, but continued to be followed by the children's hospital. On 10 June, following a high fever, followed by coagulopathy, has been hospitalized and moved to intensive care. His conditions were improved, but on the 28th of June there has been a deterioration and Mary, died from a cardio-respiratory arrest. The Child Jesus has asked for the intervention of the higher Institute of Health, which yesterday announced the outcome of the test, confirmed the diagnosis of infection by the measles virus. More precisely, the tests have detected the positivity to the virus the wild-type p3 of measles that contracts, in fact, to contact with other persons suffering from measles. ADMISSION to hospital, The question: the girl had not been vaccinated because of the fact that he was a weak person because a year ago he had meningitis? No. In reality, Mary has been vaccinated, unfortunately, however, when he had contracted the measles with the virus already in incubation, so the effect was nullified. Tell Bambino Gesu children's hospital: ""When the child was admitted following a febrile episode, as soon as possible, been vaccinated against measles, rubella, mumps and varicella. Misfortune that measles was already in incubation, and in this case, the vaccine had not taken effect"". The NUMBERS on The third child died in Italy because of the measles has fuelled once again the debate on the need to make even more effective the campaign for vaccination. There are a total of 3.501 patients who are sick with measles in 2017 in our Country, according to the surveys of the Ministry of Health and the national Institute of Health",309,"italy"
"5852","Complaint health 28/06/2017 Ivan Cavicchi Source: The Daily Fact I was speechless after reading the article by Massimo gramellini, la stampa, Corriere della Sera (23 June 2017) in connection with the child profile similar to leukemia Monza died after contracting the measles. Like when something bad is slammed in the face by the person from whom you least expect it. In addition to the bad thing in itself, there is the disappointment as a journalist you admire, that you've always read with interest, and that “will betray you”. However, as soon as they were clarified the facts, nor gramellini, la stampa, nor all, the Corriere della sera have felt the need to apologize and clarify. The only paper that is adhered to the facts, state the Truth (Sarina Biraghi, 25 June, 2017). The article gramellini, la stampa, it's built entirely on prejudice: the bigotry of anti vax as the cause of the death of an innocent child. Gramellini, la stampa, even speaks of “death sentence” to “the victims of fanaticism.” But what is really odious, because of the completely unfounded, is the accusation implicitly addressed to parents to be “unnatural” or “against-nature”, that is, not to be parents, but people are irresponsible, capable even of sacrificing the children for their ideas insane. Read the article and you will realize. But you can dip the bread in the sensationalism of the instrumental (at the end in support of the decree vaccines), gramellini, la stampa is not only but is in good company: in addition to the one that has spread carelessly in the fake news, that is, the department of Health and Giulio explore the old, that for a little bit of visibility that has forgotten to think before you speak, the more horny they were, the honorable Federico Gelli, head of Health Pd, and the minister Beatrice Lorenzin, as was to be expected. The first has invited us to an “examination of conscience” urging us to “good taste” and to “be silent” (Everyday Health, 22 June 2017), the second one has declared the “close to the parents and to their immense sorrow,” but at the same time it is ventured into a prognosis of the clinical policy (obviously it has titles such as to ones who can afford it) claiming literally that the child had not contracted the measles, “you would probably be saved from leukemia” (QS), 22 June 2017). But the prognosis of Lorenzin, the thing that leaves us all puzzled is that, as is evident in the story of the Corriere della sera (19 may 2017), the minister was aware of the case and who presumably knew that the child had not been infected by the younger siblings are not vaccinated. But if so why not consider to clarify the reality of things? As can be close to the pain of the parents and at the same time not defend them from an accusation so shameful? The small, then, was infected in the hospital, but as it happened? In the web I found a post signed by Annalia Martinelli, who claims to be a person informed of the facts, and tells that the child was in the hospital in April and has contracted the measles because there are not beds free suitable to his disease, “they put it between the infectious”. Ms. Martinelli also refers to the baby has taken only the measles, but also a case of pneumonia with associated pleural effusion. I do not know if this reconstruction is true, but if it were not the parents but the hospital would have exposed the child to the contagion, which would fit the story in yet another case of “medical malpractice”. You want to talk about “herd effect”! I hope that you will shine a light on this ugly story, but who should do it? The competent Ministry? The Department of Health of the Lombardy region? The national institute of health? Or the judiciary? Or gramellini, la stampa, that is to say the free press in a free country? With great sadness I realize only now that you are past the sign and that to “force to force” then to force the Parliament to approve the decree on vaccines is also willing to ignoble. And all of this crap why? For a decree? But why?",309,"italy"

The virus is transmitted by small droplets through the air and by direct contact with virusholdigt secretions as snot and saliva. The virus is active in the drops for up to two hours after they have left the body. Fever, cough, red and runny nose, swollen lymph nodes in the neck can be some of the symptoms of the disease. Patients with measles can be contagious, from the first forkolelseslignede symptoms appear, and until after four days after onset of rash.

Germany had 203 registered maslingeudbrud in the first 10 weeks of 2019. It is twice as many as last year, but fewer than in the same period in 2017, writes the AP. In the last week reported Germany's neighbour, Switzerland, that the two adults died of measles in years. Similar actions in Italy Germany is far from alone in the fight against measles. In just two years, the number of infected 15-fold in Europe, and 83.000 europeans were affected by the infectious disease last year. In Italy, they have also made similar laws.

The German social democrats are positive about the proposal, and Jens Spahn, who is from the German governing party CDU, hope to get the proposal adopted before the Bundestag goes on summer vacation. Volunteering in Denmark Measles can cause serious complications, and therefore, it has been up for debate in Denmark, some parents opt to let their children be vaccinated at home. In Denmark it is voluntary, whether parents will vaccinate their children or not. However, a study by Sundhedsstyrrelsen that it is still by far the majority of Danish parents who let their children be vaccinated. 89 percent of the children who were born in 2013, has received an MMR vaccine, which protects against measles, mumps and rubella. If instead you zoom in on the individual schools in the study, it is very different, where the proportion of children who have been vaccinated - and especially free and independent schools are lagging behind. In Denmark recommends Statens Serum Institut, that children get the vaccine, number one against measles, rubella and mumps when they are 15 months, and the second round of the vaccine when the child is four years old.",308,"denmark"

"5138","MEASLES CASES IN the US this year have climbed past 680 to their highest level in 25 years, a resurgence largely attributed to misinformation that is turning parents against vaccines.  Health officials in hard-hit New York City today reported 61 new cases since late last week, in what would make this the nation’s worst year for measles since 1994, with eight months still to go.  The official nationwide count will not be released by the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention until Monday. CDC officials said they are reviewing the latest reports.  Roughly three-quarters of this year’s illnesses in the US have been in New York state, mainly in two ultra-Orthodox Jewish communities in Brooklyn and suburban Rockland County. Most of those cases have been in unvaccinated people.  The number of cases is likely to go even higher. Measles is highly contagious and can spread through the air when someone coughs or sneezes. And in recent days, Jewish families have been gathering for Passover meals. It can take 10 to 12 days for symptoms to develop.  The CDC recommends the vaccine for everyone over a year old.  The vaccine, which became available in the 1960s, is considered safe and highly effective, and because of it, measles was declared all but eliminated in the US in 2000. But it has made comebacks since then, including 667 cases in 2014.  Public health experts say some US communities have low vaccination rates because of the spread of bad information — especially the now-debunked notion that the measles-mumps-rubella vaccine is linked to autism — through social media, pamphlets, hotlines and other means.  “Many parents are afraid. And if you want to believe your kid doesn’t need that many shots, there’s plenty of places to find people who agree with you,” said Dr Jonathan Fielding, former head of the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health. “It’s not so easy to discern what is real and what is not.”  For most people, measles is not life-threatening. The most common symptoms include fever, runny nose, cough and a rash all over the body. However, a very small fraction of people can suffer complications such as pneumonia and a dangerous swelling of the brain.

The measles outbreak continues to grow at an alarming rate, said the municipal director of Health Oxiris Barbot, who recalled that the case began last October, and that many of these have been confirmed during the last two months, of which 246 cases are in children under the age of 18 years. A total of 39 cases have occurred in adults, and according to Barbot, who is a pediatrician, have occurred in individuals who have not been vaccinated or who do not have all the vaccines, as reported in a press release. He stressed that there have been no deaths related to the outbreak but there has been complications, including 21 hospitalizations and 5 admissions to the intensive care unit. According to the Department of Health, have been reported, most cases of measles in the jewish communities of Williamsburg and Borough Park in Brooklyn. Five of them, including the first cases that we know of this outbreak, were infected during a visit to Israel, where it is happening a major epidemic of the disease. Barbot made an appeal to new yorkers, and in particular to the orthodox jewish community to take advantage of the period in which we celebrate the ""Passover"" or the Jewish Passover (from 19 to 27 April) to get the vaccine against measles, mumps and rubella to prevent the spread of the virus. He further indicated that the individuals who travel to areas with widespread outbreaks of measles in the course, including Israel, Europe, the north of New York city and other parts of EE.UU should ensure that they and their children are vaccinated appropriately against measles. ""As a pediatrician, I know that the vaccine against measles, mumps and rubella is safe and effective. This outbreak is being fueled by a small group against vaccines in this neighborhood.

Bardot reminded that measles is a highly contagious disease that can cause pneumonia, encephalitis, and death, and that is easily prevented with a safe and effective vaccine. Also warned that newborns, pregnant women and those with a weak immune system cannot be vaccinated. For this reason, he said, it is important that all around us are vaccinated to protect them from contracting the virus that can have serious complications in this susceptible population.

"14413","Since the year 1981 that the measles vaccine is included in the official calendar via the mmr vaccine, which also protects against rubella and mumps. It is a vaccine that can be put from the year of life, and that they should receive two doses to be effective. In the last few weeks we have attended a number of information advising that all persons born in Spain between 1970 and 1980, which has made it jump a few alarms. What has regrown measles in Spain? What are in danger all the people who are not vaccinated? The answer to both questions is no, and is explained below. The recommendation is not new From 2016, according to the Ministry of Health, WHO considers that measles in our country is in 'deletion status', a state that in addition to the been recently confirmed, something that has not happened in other european countries, such as Britain, Greece or the Czech Republic, where it has become a resurgence of the disease. Why, then, did the Ministry advise now get vaccinated for all persons born between 1970 and 1980? The answer is that, in reality, it is a strategy that is not changed, and that is in effect from 2018, something that was clarified by the Ministry on September 11, through an information note (Download the memo here). Do you have to get vaccinated all over the world? The strategy of Spain in around the measles, that have nothing to do with a health alert, is intended to preserve the epidemiological situation of measles in Spain and that it meets the objective of the WHO to eradicate disease in the european region by the year 2020. To do this, it is necessary to reach and maintain vaccination coverage of mmr at around 95%. From 2018, the ministry recommends: Vaccinate during childhood. Since 1981 it is recommended that the administration of two doses of mmr vaccine during childhood, which tend to be 12 months and 3-4 years. If after that age they are not vaccinated, it is recommended to do it as soon as possible, putting the two doses at least four weeks interval between one and another. During the adulthood. Those born before 1981, when it was not yet included this vaccine in the immunization schedule, they should also get the vaccine, but the Ministry recommended that they be only those born between 1970 and 1980. Why? Since it is a highly infectious disease, it is assumed that people born before 1970 have already had prior, so that it is not necessary that they be vaccinated. Therefore, you only should get vaccinated people born between 1970 and 1980 who have not received two doses of vaccination and who are sure they have not had the disease previously. You should also check your immunization schedule-health-care staff, as they are a collective of risk. What to do if you are born between 1970 and 1980 In Spain, there are 7.2 million people born between 1970 and 1980 that pertain to what is known as 'generation hinge', that is to say, that they were born in the years prior to the introduction of the mmr vaccine in our country. Precisely because of the arrival of this vaccine and its high coverage rates since 1981, many of them were not exposed to the virus and have not contracted the disease, which renders them susceptible of developing it, if there is any outbreak. Some were vaccinated later, but others are not, and it is precisely this target group for this vaccination strategy. The reason is that, according to the Ministry of Health, ""recent outbreaks of measles in Spain show an increasing number of cases in people born during those years, most of them without documentation of having been vaccinated"". The people who right now have between 40 and 50 years old should make sure that has not passed the measles, as in this case, it would be immunized and would not require to put on any vaccine. Not been passed, would have to review the calendar of vaccinations to check if you have received the two doses required for vaccination. If you have received only one or if you have not received any, will be able to talk to your family doctor at your next visit, but without a rush, because we are not facing a situation of urgency, but before the performance of a protocol for the measles does not spread in Spain. In these moments, you are arguing with the Autonomous Communities to implement the Plan of prevention against measles with new measures. For the moment, the Valencian Community has already embarked on his own campaign and has vaccinated more than seven thousand citizens between 25 and 44 years of age.",307,"spain"

The contagiosita' lasts up to 5 days after the rash, and is maximum three days before, when she has the fever. Read the post of John Maga: The sleep of reason and the reason of the sleep How the disease spreads: measles is one of the diseases more communicable. The infection occurs through nasal secretions, and pharyngeal, probably by air through respiratory droplets that spread in the air when a sick person coughs or sneezes. There is no specific treatment. You can treat the symptoms (symptomatic therapy) but not the cause: acetaminophen to reduce fever, syrup to calm the cough, drops for the eyes. There is a risk of prematurity for children who have the infected mother during gestation. How it works the vaccination is compulsory In Italy from 0 to 16 years, thanks to the decree Lorenzin, worth the non-inclusion of asylum and the provision of fines for parents in the coming years. The vaccine exists in the form of a complex vaccine against measles, mumps and rubella (Mpr). It is recommended a first dose of the Mpr before the 24th month of life, preferably in the 12-15th of the month, with a reminder to 5-6 years or 11-12 years. Up to 6-9 month, the baby can be protected from the antibodies coming from the mother if this is immunized. The duration of immunization of the infant is lower if the mother has been immunized by a vaccine and not the measles itself. As with all live attenuated vaccines, vaccination is not carried out in individuals with immune deficiency or under immunosuppressive therapy (corticoids, antineoplastic, anti-rejection), nor, as a precaution, in pregnant women or who want to be in the next month. Instead, it is recommended for Hiv-infected people who have not yet developed Aids. If you have corrections, suggestions or comments, write to dir@agi.it",306,"italy"
"8611","The movements are anti-vaccination, and the unwillingness on the part of many parents in different parts of the world are posing a serious threat to the maintenance of high coverage for measles, if only to rely on the existing programs on immunization. You have to think of new and effective strategies, tailored to the reality of each country, and that you will be able to avoid an increase in susceptible (non-vaccinated), while at the same time, to address gaps in other age groups, who have escaped from the program and are not currently protected. To (re -) to eliminate measles, it takes a lot more than what you're doing, it can be seen in the study, published Friday in the journal on open access in BMC Medicine. “Over the last few years, we have seen a resurgence of measles, even in developed countries where, in accordance with the guidelines of the World Health Organization, the deletion should have been done, ' she says in the introduction to this article, published in BMC Medicine, which is part of the Springer Nature. In the richer countries, the general picture is still of the researchers at the Center for Information Technology in the city of Trento and the University of Bocconi in Milan, both in Italy and the rise of the movements are anti-vaccination, and the attention and parental vaccine you are putting the major challenges for the attainment and maintenance of high coverage with the routine program of vaccination”. The proof of this is the fact that in Italy and France, have already adopted the new regulations on, respectively, by the year 2017, and 2018, with the goal of increasing immunization rates among young children, adding the vaccination is compulsory in the school. In this study, the researchers studied seven different countries (United Kingdom, hungary, Ireland, Italy, the usa, Australia, Singapore, malaysia, and South Korea) was used to simulate the evolution of the profile of immunity to the disease, and to evaluate the effect of the adjustments in the programmes of vaccination. At the beginning of this week, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have announced a new total of 839 individual cases of measles in 23 states in the united states since the beginning of the year, representing the largest reported outbreak of measles in this country in the last 25 years. The analysis took into account the demographic characteristics specific to each country, taking into account the current gaps in the immunity of individuals of a certain age-groups, and the data is recorded in the year 2018. Scientists offer different scenarios for the evolution up to 2050 and that, in a nutshell, if you are based in the improvement or maintenance of the existing approaches, and which are covered by national immunization programmes and, on the other hand, the possibility of adopting exceptional measures such as the introduction of a vaccination is mandatory to enter the primary school in the countries where there is compulsory education. REUTERS/Karoly Arva, to Pass the threshold-of-safety test Results? The model shows that, under the current policy matters, as well as just as Singapore and South Korea, they would be at a fraction of the susceptible population to below the threshold of what is considered to be safe to ensure the elimination of measles. With this threshold, scientists say, should be no more than 7.5% of the population. In the United Kingdom, Ireland, US, Australia and brazil, the increase in the coverage of the routine is up to 95% or so of the introduction of a vaccination is mandatory at the entrance of the school, with a coverage of more than 40 per cent are needed to keep individuals likely to below 7.5% by 2050,” concluded the article. In the year 2018, the proportion of the population susceptible to the infection due to measles in the study countries ranged from 3.7% in the United Kingdom to 9.3% in Italy (the only country where the ratio was higher than 7.5%). In Australia, Ireland, the Uk and the US, the vaccination programs would continue to provide coverage of more than 95% of the population in order to maintain the proportion of susceptible individuals to below 7.5% by the year 2050. In the case of Italy, the same as with the non-standard measures to address this problem, the forecasts of scientists, by 2050 all point to the dramatic scenery of the level of vulnerability in reaching out to more than 14% of the population and more than 50% of the people who, likely, with more than 25 years of age. “Our results show that, in the case of the coverage of the current programmes remain unchanged, and the percentage of individuals who are at risk of infection to increase by 2018, and by 2050 more than 50 per cent in all countries, with the exception of South Korea,” reads the article. Even though they said that the vaccination is mandatory to enter the school, “certainly beneficial”, the scientists warn that it is not enough to halt the danger. It is also necessary to respond to the lack of vaccination programs, which has resulted in some adults of a certain age can be in today's madrid. One thing is for sure: “The current vaccination policies are not sufficient to achieve and sustain the elimination of measles in the majority of countries.” 14% of children aged 13 months exposed to the elements, A report by the European Centre for Disease Control May 10, analyzed the data, on the th 30 european countries from 1 April 2018 to 31 March 2019 at the latest, aiming for a total of 11.383 cases, 22 of them fatal.

And it is this age group that the next national Plan for the elimination of the disease, still in 2015, will devote particular attention. The obligation of vaccination will be kept, so that in the new generations, the coverage remains good, but we need to quickly provide prophylaxis for adolescents and young adults are susceptible.

""We are working on a document that is very specific - precise Demicheli - for example, the solution for the offer to freshmen in universities could be a circular of the ministry of education, which commits the rectors to promote active vaccination, by entering a prophylaxis in the system of evaluation of the university"". You also want to increase the coverage among health care workers.

"5857","Child dies of measles at 10 months, too little for the vaccine. The case in Catania. The baby has been infected from the mother is not vaccinated. Another unacceptable case of death from measles. This time the victim is a child 10 months, is too small to be vaccinated. The child died as a result of the complications of the illness, which unfortunately had taken from the mother. The child had heart disease, and therefore is subject to risk, but to kill him, it was not the disease of which he suffered, on which the usual zealous and arrogant, no vax have already flooded the web with their defamatory statements, but the measles. A death that you could very well avoid, and that in a civilized Country you should avoid. Measles is prevented with the vaccine. Child dies of measles in Catania In Catania is an alarm in measles. Friday, April 6, a child of only 10 months, died of complications related to infectious disease in the Garibaldi hospital in the town of etna. This is the third event of the death of measles in Catania, after the death of a young mother of 25 years, of which we had already reported, always in the Garibaldi hospital, and another young woman of 27 years died the 22 of January. If we consider also the 2017, this is the fourth case of death from measles in Catania in less than a year. Last September, he had died because of measles, a man of 42 years suffering from a serious illness immunodepressiva. It is understandable, therefore, that in the sicilian town there is apprehension on the part of health authorities, especially for the most vulnerable who cannot be vaccinated and are at risk of complications that may be lethal. In the last bulletin, published by Epicenter, the national Center for the prevention of diseases, Sicily is the region with the highest incidence of measles and rubella. In the only hospital of Catania, from the beginning of 2018, you are registered already 218 cases of measles. The child of 10 months suffered from heart problems and was hospitalized from 3 to 16 march in the department of pediatrics of the hospital Garibaldi-Nesima for bronchopneumonia and bronchiolitis in the presence of a respiratory syncytial virus. Then his condition had improved and he was discharged with programmed control at a distance of 10 days. Then, however, has come to the measles, and the framework is complicated. The baby was first hospitalized in the department of pediatrics of the hospital of Acireale, when in the afternoon of 4 April, as reported sources of print – the condition of its respiratory and cardiovascular have worsened so as to require hospitalization in an intensive care unit.Then the child was brought to the Garibaldi hospital in Catania where he died two days later. According to what is reported by the hospital, the baby would contract the measles from his mother, who was not vaccinated. The child of 10 months, however, he was too young to be vaccinated. According to the calendar of vaccination, in fact, the measles vaccine, which is administered with the trivalent MMR (measles-mumps-rubella) or the quadrivalente MPRV (measles-mumps-rubella-varicella), is expected to be after 12 months of life. The risk of complications of measles are more frequent in the newborns, more so if suffering from diseases that compromise the immune system and make them more fragile. Children who cannot be vaccinated and who should be protected by vaccination from the rest of the community. However, from Garibaldi hospital, Catania leaders have made it known that they will make assessments to check how the child has contracted the virus and on the body of the small will be made the post-mortem examination. Sergio Pintaudi, director of the intensive care ward of the Garibaldi hospital-Catania city Centre, told the Ansa news agency: “The tragic event that occurred to the little patient, who was not in the age to be vaccinated, and then contracted an infection from those vaccinated was not, should be a warning to all understand that vaccinandosi, you are protecting not only themselves but the whole community“. Child dies of measles: the reaction predictably, the death from measles of a child of only 10 months, has sparked harsh reactions from the part of the doctors and scientific community who for years are fighting to raise awareness about vaccination and against the disinformation circulated by unscrupulous individuals. Among the first to be spoken on the case is the virologist Roberto Burioni, who addressed the controversy on Cicciobello with the measles. We can say a really unhappy to throw the doll in a moment like this. “It is not Cicciobello, it is not a doll. And’ a child to be dead in Catania for the measles. A child of ten months old, just revived to life, but still too small to be vaccinated. A child that we would have been able to protect the immunity of the flock, and that, instead, it seems that – for a mockery and the cruel fate – to have been infected by their mother, not vaccinated...” On the tragic case has been Cecilia Strada, daughter of Gino Strada, founder of Emergency. “Died in Catania, a child of ten months. Died of measles. Ten months had not yet the age for the measles vaccine: its history is the tragic answer to those who say, “oh well, but if I don't vaccinate my children up and you get sick of them, that I matter to you?”. Get vaccinated, all means to reduce the circulation of diseases and also protect those who can not or can not yet be vaccinated. Getting vaccinated is an act of responsibility towards the children of all.” “We have finished the words to tell you how important it is to the immunity of the community – is the comment of IoVaccino – A child of ten months, is the fourth victim of measles, 2018. A tragic emblem of what we stand for: too small to be vaccinated, we were not able to protect it“. “A child dies of 10 months for measles...it happens in Sicily, where this year they are concentrating the largest number of cases. A child of 10 months is not vaccinabile for age. The child in question was a delicate subject, because with heart problems. Already we hear the usual outcry of those who must necessarily understate the case. On the other hand, there are those who are already with a headline of ‘...but it was heart disease’. Show added? You know what? Avoid comments like: “he was sick”, “it would be dead even for a common cold” and other similar amenities...we are not in Sparta, where the fragile were considered to be of series B. This child is not dead of series B, on the contrary... ...it is a dead series ! Why?

"5863","The good news is that this time the measles outbreak seems to be really under control. A little less positive is that from November to now, the cases in Puglia, rose to 13, eleven of which refer to the ""index case"": the child is not vaccinated, and the daughter of antivax, of 8 years, who was admitted at the ""Giovanni XXIII"" of Bari, italy, on 23 October. On the other two-three possible cases (symptoms compatible with measles) are ongoing investigations. Yesterday, the epidemiological Observatory of the regional has sent to the Region and to the ministry of Health an update report on measles (curated by Maria Chironna, University of Bari and Domenico Martinelli and Rosa Prato of the University of Foggia). The document reconstructs what took place in Apulia in the last six weeks, highlighting the fact that in the last seven days (for the moment), there were no reported new cases. The checks carried out in the laboratory and the epidemiological investigations have, however, found that the great majority of cases, in one way or another, be traced back to the child of 8 years. Eight directly: the brother of 11 years old, not vaccinated for, via therapy to be incompatible, the cousin of 16 years, not vaccinated, a child of 22 months, not vaccinated (but with the booking of the appointment to the October 25, 2018) hospitalized at the ""Giovanni XXIII"" for otitis together with the index case, a child of 12 months hospitalized in the same hospital for brochite together with his brother, 11-year-old of the index case, a security guard of the hospital in 20 years (not vaccinated) and the mother of two children (their vaccinated, not she) were brought to ""Giovanni XXIII"" in conjunction with the index case, a baby of 9 months (not yet vaccinated) that had been in the hospital along with the cousin of the index case. The analysis of the Epidemiology laboratory of the Polyclinic, have traced the outbreak the infection on a woman of 37 years (not vaccinated), who was admitted to the general hospital, from where he originated the case of a girl of 21 years who is admitted in the same day. The investigations have not clarified the genesis of the infection, also because the family of the index case has not cooperated. The viruses isolated in the cases of the outbreak family belongs to a strain that has never before appeared in Italy for the first time can only be made on assumptions. However, the fact remains that everything is born from a single girl is not vaccinated, with a hospital management, which are ongoing audits. The report of the Observatory has also reviewed the data regarding the vaccination coverage as at 30 June. With the downward revision of the data of the Asl of Taranto, the coverage of the vaccine at three years of age (which was announced the 95% down to 94.5%, which is pretty high compared to 93% in 2017. In the Apulia region the incidence of measles remains significantly lower than the rest of Italy.",303,"italy"
"2248","Like last year, health authorities warn the number of cases abnormally high level of measles. More than 1,300 cases detected in France since 1st January, over 320 just in Occitania. Haute-Garonne is the same, by far the department most affected in the country. Haute-Garonne, France, This is still a disease that we tend to forget, and yet made a comeback since the end of 2017 in France. The health authorities are reminding parents to vaccinate their children against measles, which in the beginning sounds like a heavy cold with those little red buttons then all over the body, but that can have consequences serious respiratory. see also The cases of measles have increased by 300% worldwide in the first quarter of 2019, Haute-Garonne and the Aude, the main foci of measles The year 2018 had been marked by a strong epidemic. And again this year, even if it came down to this, the number of cases is abnormally high in Europe, in France, and in our regions. In Occitania, 324 patients have been identified since the 1st of January. Our region has a high concentration even near a quarter of the cases of patients in France (1.363) with a peak of the epidemic at the end of April. The Haute-Garonne and the Aude, the main foci of measles © Radio France - OF. This is especially the Haute-Garonne, which is concerned, and very far : 165 cases between early January and late may, this is a day case. Haute-Garonne is in fact the first department in France in terms of number of measles reported. Two main foci have been identified by the SIO : Portet-sur-Garonne and thaurac ginestous, Toulouse, the camp of the people of the trip. The rest of the outbreaks were detected in schools and nurseries, logically, since two-thirds of patients are less than 4 years. Measles is a disease ultra-contagious, ten times more, for example, that the flu. Another department strongly affected in Occitania, the Aude, with an increasing number of cases of measles identified in the northern outskirts of Narbonne (Cuxac and Salleles). Moreover, the figures are not alarming : the 12 cases in the Gers region, 11 in the Tarn, 7 in the Tarn-et-Garonne and less than five in the Lot (2), Ariege (1) and Aveyron (4), so to say, spared. Inadequate immunization coverage in Occitania, More serious in contrast to the complications for almost one-third of the patients : 91 hospitalizations in five months in Occitania, 29 cases have degenerated into pneumonia or, more rarely, encephalitis. Until then, measles has not killed in Occitania, however, it has already been a death on the national territory this year. And in 2018, the three adults are dead, three people aged 17 to 32 years. The vaccination coverage of measles is either null or insufficient (one dose instead of two) for 90% of the patients in Occitania. - Public health in France and The ARS as the paediatricians are pointing the finger at the failures of vaccination coverage. For measles, it is the R. O. R (in two doses) is now required for children born on or after 2018, and that are in the nursery. Some parents who keep their small home are not legally required to vaccinate their children prior to their enrolment. And the obligation is not for children born before January 1, 2018. Therefore, coverage rates are below the 95% required for the eradication of a disease. On the above chart, we can see for example that more than 80% of the 5-9 years old who have contracted the disease this year are not vaccinated. The authorities consider that adults over 40 years of age (born before 1980) had probably contracted the disease in their youth, which protects them now. In contrast, young adults are the most exposed. It is advisable in case of doubt, to consult their doctor.",302,"france"
"9413","The seventh meeting of the Commission on European Regional Check (RVC, for its acronym in English) of the Elimination of Measles and Rubella, based on the updates in this matter filed last year by the 53 member States in the WHO european region, indicates that, for the first time since it began the process of analysis in this area in 2012, four european countries have lost their status of having eradicated measles. These four european countries are Albania, the Czech republic, Greciay United Kingdom. ""To restore the transmission of the measles is alarming. If it is not achieved or maintained a high immunization coverage in all communities, both children and adults will suffer needlessly and some will die tragically,"" said Günter Pfaff, chair of the RVC. On the other hand, the Commission's European Regional Verification stresses that Austria and Switzerland came last year to the deletion status of the measles after having demonstrated the interruption of endemic transmission for at least 36 months. For the european region in whole, by the end of 2018, there were 35 countries that had achieved or sustained measles elimination (compared with 37 in 2017), two had interrupted endemic transmission (12 to 35 months), 12 remained endemic for measles and four that previously had been eliminated in re-established transmission. The trend continues in 2019 on the other hand, WHO indicated that the increase in cases that began in 2018 has continued in 2019, with approximately 90,000 cases during the first half of the year, that is, more than what is recorded for all 2018 (84.462). The ongoing circulation of measles in Europe continues to be classified within the WHO as an emergency Grade 2, a designation which allows this UN agency to mobilize resources-technical, financial and human resources to support the affected countries. ""The great efforts to control this highly contagious disease have taken us a long way towards regional elimination. However, the outbreaks of measles in the course demonstrate that more is needed,"" said Zsuzsanna Jakab, regional director of WHO for Europe.",300,"spain"

Statens Serum Institut has now genotypet measles virus from the ten-month-old child. The test shows that it is infected with the exact same virus as the other five cases in the current maslingeudbrud. - It means that the child is a strong likelihood that is a part of the same smittekade, although we don't yet know how it has become infected.

The child, who is from the Northallerton area, have stayed in a creche and day care, where there may be other children who are not vaccinated against measles. It is not yet known how the child has been infected. The new case does not give rise to the Board changes its recommendations on the vaccination earlier than the 15-month-age at which the first dose of MMR vaccine be given in the Danish childhood immunisation programme.

"3710","This year, no cases of measles were recorded in the district of. But what happens when you get infected, right? The most important questions and answers on the topic. How can you get the measles? Measles can be transmitted through the finest saliva droplets. For example, this may happen when you cough, Sneeze or Talk. ""Especially in young children, the ansabbern much, is the risk of Infection very high,"" says children's doctor Heiko Backes from Hofgeismar. Whether a man will or not, depends on his immunity. Only when he himself had already had the measles once, or, by contrast, is vaccinated, is he immune. Of the newborn immunity could exist if it have received antibodies from its mother. What happens if you become infected with the measles? After an incubation period of around seven to ten days, the infection usually ten to 14 days, says Backes. ""In the first Phase, is feverish, feels, and gets white patches in the mouth, it is often noticed only at a closer Look,"" he says. In a second Phase, the fever rises again, besides the typical skin rash picture for the measles are known. Further complications such as connective skin, lung and ear infections to come. In the worst case, you could get an inflammation of the brain, in consequence of which you diseases you can die. The risk is 1:1000. What can you do if you get measles? According to Backes, it could in the first days after infection nor vaccination. After the outbreak of the measles could do nothing against the virus infection. ""It helps only to obtain vaccinated,"" he says. You can, however, take a fever-lowering agent, and any complications treated with antibiotics. I'm not vaccinated, should I do that? ""Who had no measles or only once been vaccinated should do so quickly,"" says Backes. All born after 1970, the rate of the Robert Koch-Institute, to be once against Mumps, measles and rubella vaccination. In the case of people who were born before that, it was, however, assume that you have already been infected themselves. Generally speaking, Backes advises to measles vaccination: ""Only the other hand helps to get measles."" When should you not vaccinate? ""In the case of a pregnancy should not be vaccinated. In the case of an immune weakness, which is either innate, or are on medication is due, the doctor must examine the indication for the vaccine in advance,“ says Backes. When should you let your kid vaccinated? The first vaccination should be done between the eleventh and fourteenth month. ""Then the immune system for vaccination is not Mature enough,"" says Backes. Also antibodies of the mother in the child's blood circulated in the first six to ten months. Will be vaccinated at this time, could build up the child is not a sufficient immunity. ""The second dose should be approximately eight to 16 weeks after the first,"" advises the doctor. It was necessary to ensure that the child is immune to measles: ""After the first vaccination, there is a success rate of about 90 per cent after the second vaccination, with approximately 97 percent, is much higher."" What are the side effects can occur with vaccination? ""Ten to 14 days after vaccination Impfmasern occur, associated with fever and, more rarely, with a light rash can,"" says Backes.

"2246","77 cases have been detected since the beginning of the month of November. The regional Agency of Health, New Aquitaine is concerned about 54 new cases of measles detected since the end of the month of December in the Gironde. On the eve of the school holidays, 16 cases of measles that have been identified on different sites of the university campus of Bordeaux. Since 37 new people have been contamiénes on the common. In total, 77 cases have been identified since November of 2017, including 12 hospitalizations. The epidemic particularly affects young adults and children. The problem is that it can spread rapidly since a person infected with measles can infect between 15 and 20 people. In order to avoid this propagation, the ARS invites the Bordeaux and the Girondins to check that their vaccination is up to date. Transmission is mainly by air either directly from a patient or indirectly as a result of the persistence of the virus in the air. According to the ARS, the vaccination coverage remains insufficient in France in the 15-35 years of age and among infants, which explains that the virus continues to circulate in the country. In the Gironde, in 2015, the immunization coverage with Measles-Mumps-Rubella (MMR) 2 doses was 80.3 % among children two years of age (when the WHO recommends 95 %).Today, measles infects about 2,500 people each year.",298,"france"
"5139","CASES OF MUMPS and measles are on the rise in Ireland as people are sharing the discredited research of Andrew Wakefield who linked the vaccine to autism, on social media.  The disgraced former doctor was struck off for publishing a fraudulent study on the measles, mumps and rubella jab.  Measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine immunisation rates dropped sharply in the years following Wakefield’s discredited research in 1998.  The spread of vaccine misinformation on social media is hard to tackle because of its reach, the HSE assistant national director has said.  Speaking at the Health Service Executive (HSE) Winter Plan update today, Dr Kevin Kelleher said encouraging people to get vaccines is “a difficult message” to get across.  He said more people access health information online and on social media and some of it is not factual.  On Monday, Minister for Health Simon Harris sat down with Facebook, Twitter and Google to discuss the measures they are taking to combat anti-vaccination misinformation on their platforms.  Vaccine hesitancy has been identified by the World Health Organisation as one of the 10 leading threats to global health this year.  Dr Kelleher said the HSE is working to combat the spread of misinformation about vaccines on social media and they have had great success in getting people to take the HPV vaccine.  “Measles is back and unfortunately some of the stuff they are putting out there has been totally discredited but they have come back to Andrew Wakefield who has been utterly discredited and yet it’s out there on social media again,” he said.  “So it’s a problem and it’s something that we have to work very, very hard to combat.”  Dr Kelleher said the spread of Andrew Wakefield’s theories led to hundreds of children not being vaccinated in the 1990s.  “Our biggest problem is that we have this large cohort of people who were born in the 90s and who have not been fully immunised and that’s quite a large group,” he said.  He encouraged anyone who wants to be vaccinated to do so and encouraged parents to ensure their children get vaccinated and get their information about vaccines from credible websites.  “Particularly for the group we’re talking about, social media is the relevance of how they get information and we have to be in that arena and that’s very different from when I started nearly 40 years ago,” he said.  “There is lots of evidence that people are more inclined to accept that sort of bad information than the science that is backed up,” he said.",298,"ireland"

MEASLES: WHAT it is AND HOW to CURE The measles is an infectious disease caused by a virus of the genus morbillivirus (family of Paramixovidae). It is a very contagious condition that often affects children between 1 and 3 years. Is transmitted only in man. Once you contract the measles gives an immunization theoretically final, so there is ill for the entire duration of life. The immunity induced by the vaccine, which is mandatory in children for the purposes of school attendance, is of very long duration. Measles has severe symptoms, mainly causes a skin rash, similar to those of measles or of scarlet fever. Lasts for between 10 and 20 days. The first symptoms are similar to those of a cold (dry cough, runny nose, conjunctivitis) with a fever that becomes more and more high. Then appear white spots inside the mouth.

Health chiefs warn that 90,000 pupils will be at increased risk of measles, mumps and rubella.  1 One in seven kids will start primary school next month without having had their MMR jabs Credit: Alamy  Youngsters should have two doses of the MMR vaccine before the age of five.  But Public Health England figures show one in seven - and one in four in London - have not received both doses.  Boris Johnson blamed “superstitious mumbo jumbo” spread on the internet.  And the PM called on social media sites to take down scare stories.  What is measles? WHO has said that measles cases have jumped up by 50 per cent in the last year. It's a highly infectious viral illness that can sometimes lead to very serious complications. It can cause things like pneumonia and encephalitis - both of which can kill or leave people seriously disabled for the rest of their lives. Now, experts are calling for measles vaccinations to be made mandatory in certain countries. It's given in two doses as part of the NHS childhood vaccination programme. The first jab is given to kids at around 13 months old, while a second dose is administered at around three years, four months. There is no link at all between having the MMR vaccine and autism - even in children who have other risk factors for the condition, scientists confirmed back in March. That's the conclusion of a nationwide study of all children born in Denmark to Danish-born mums between 1999 and 2010. Last week, we revealed that anti-vaxxer parents were holding ""measles parties"" to give their kids the deadly virus.  He will order tech bosses to do more after Britain lost its measles-free status with the World Health Organisation.  The virus was eradicated three years ago but there were 231 cases in the first three months of this year.  It follows a fall in vaccination rates.  One factor is scare stories on Facebook and Twitter from Russian trolls and bots.

Judge Lawrence Knipel issued a resolution in which it stressed the ""significant increase in incidents of measles in the U.S. in many years,"" and indicated that ""the section of Williamsburg, Brooklyn is the epicenter,"" according to the New York Post. It is a district of the city with a very significant presence of ultra-orthodox jews. 10 days ago, the mayor of New York declared a public health emergency, precisely in Williamsburg, where he has unleashed an epidemic of measles since October, which especially affects the orthodox jewish community. In its verdict, which dismisses a lawsuit filed against the Department of Health of New York, they also stated that the arguments that the vaccine is ineffective and dangerous are not supported by scientific studies, laws of medical literature and regulations. The deputy mayor for health affairs, dr. Herminia Palacios, said he was pleased with the decision for the city to keep the order that forces parents to vaccinate children. A group of parents opposed to vaccines belonging to the orthodox jewish community demanded this Monday to the city of New York by force to immunize their children against the measles, saying that the city is extralimitó in their duties and violated their religious beliefs. Three parents were fined a thousand dollars each for failure to comply with this order, and four other jewish schools were closed, adding to a total of five, because it showed no records of vacun as of the children who attend their centers.

A similar lawsuit was filed several weeks ago in the county of Rockland, north of New York city, after that decrees the prohibition of minors unvaccinated access to public spaces, due to the severe outbreak of measles in the town, with 184 cases in a population of 300,000 inhabitants.

"5871","With over 80 thousand people affected, and 72 deaths in Europe and the Countries of the East, to the Who, 2018, has recorded a new record number of cases of measles, 3 times higher than in 2017 and 15 times that of 2016. The vaccine coverage overall is growing, but to worry about are the local data for 2018 was the year of the true return of measles in Europe, countries of Eastern europe and Russia. According to the data of the world health Organization (Who), in 47 of the 53 Countries of the region are registered 82.596 cases, 61% of which required hospitalization. 72 deaths. And even if the vaccination coverage has never been so high in 2013, according to experts, the current pace of vaccinations is not enough to stop the circulation of the virus. The problem – emphasize Who is on the local data, and takes preventive measures more and more effective to comply with the commitments made at the international level. Increase the cases, you are Not exaggerating. Measles in 2018 has taken place, and in the 53 Countries of the Who european region (which includes the countries of Eastern europe and Russia), the number of infections has grown to mark a new record: 82.596 cases, 72 deaths. Digits that exceed 3 times of those recorded in 2017 and even 15 of 2016. But also the vaccination coverage Next to the negative record, there is even a positive one, however. The immunization program are working and in 2017, the coverage for the second dose of the vaccine was the highest ever recorded from 2013 (90%). In practice, overall more and more children are receiving in the times provided for in the vaccination plan of the respective Countries, the two doses of vaccine required for immunization from the virus. A local problem, How can we explain this apparent contradiction? The report of the Who collects national data, but, as pointed out by the experts themselves in the organization, the aggregated data in the end would hide the sub-national level, that is, the disparities on the territory of individual Countries, some of which are recognized only when there is an outbreak of infection. For example what is happening by the end of 2018, at Rimini, where there is an epidemic of measles that has not yet taken recently at the shelter for two boys for complications (encephalitis and pneumonia). “The framework for the 2018 clarifies that the current pace of progress in raising the rates of immunization will be insufficient to stop the circulation of the measles. Although data indicate a vaccination coverage exceptionally high at the regional level, it also reflects a record number of new cases and deaths from the disease,” said Zsuzsanna Jakab the Who. “This means that the gaps at the local level still offer a way for the circulation of the virus”. The work, therefore, is on the territory. “We must do more and do better to protect every person from diseases that can be easily avoided”, added Jakab. Measles, avoid it, you can The 90% immunization coverage is a good result, but to be safe you need to reach the 95% threshold, so as to ensure the protection of the entire community, even those who cannot be vaccinated (because they are too young or for health problems) or for some reason do not develop immunity. It is not an impossible objective, but on the contrary they say from Who. 43 Countries in the region have managed to stop the virus circulation is endemic for at least 12 months from the end of 2017, some even to stop the spread of measles from a few imported cases. The elimination, therefore, is at hand. “Progress in achieving a high national coverage are commendable. However, cannot blind us to the people and places that are still deficient,” he concluded Nedret Emiroglu, director, Division of public health emergencies and communicable diseases of the Who regional Office for Europe. “It is here that we must now concentrate our efforts more. Never should we bask in our achievements, but continue to strive to reach the finish line. Together, we can make it.”",296,"italy"

For those who have never taken the measles and is not vaccinated, ""the advice I give is to get vaccinated immediately.

"2250","The measles outbreak that began in 2017 continues in France, particularly in the south-west. The rate of vaccination of children French is insufficient to stem the spread of this childhood disease whose complications can be serious. Measles, the eternal return ? © Getty / Kathleen Finlay The current outbreak of measles has affected about 3000 French since one year, mostly of children who are not vaccinated. A low mortality, but the hundreds of hospitalizations when we talk about mortality, measles is caused only one death per year for 10 years. This may seem modest next to the ravages of measles in Africa. This relative success is linked of course to the vaccination, but also to the quality of our hospital management of severe lung infections that complicate measles in twenty. In France, the rare deaths are usually due to complications affecting the nervous system, fortunately very rare, since they relate to one patient in a thousand. What are the symptoms of measles ? Measles is not a part of the fun ! It is a kind of huge cold with a high fever and a generalized eruption of small red pimples. Conjunctivitis and a cough complete the picture. In practice, you have the head exploded and you are in a miserable state. Young adults affected usually keep a bitter memory. There is a resurgence of the disease ? No, and thankfully. We have the figures for each of the recent outbreaks, which last about 2 to 3 years : 200.000 measles epidemic that began in 1995, 20,000 for the two epidemics following and finally the current outbreak, which started in 2017 should cap at 5000 measles. For the record, prior to vaccination, each outbreak affected 1 to 3 million children since everyone on it ! Measles is one of the diseases that are contagious before the symptoms appear. Therefore, it is impossible to contain the epidemic other than by vaccinating them. France lagging behind It is not normal that France is still lagging behind in terms of immunization against measles. Other countries much less developed than ours have succeeded in eradicating this disease ! Unfortunately, the fear of vaccines is very important in france, and not only because of the antivaccinaux : the institutional communication of the French on vaccines has been, and still is, dramatically paternalistic. It fuels the distrust of the public and brings credit to the theses complotistes as the one who wants the vaccine promotes autism, which is absolutely false. The two vaccines, the French against the measles, the MMR vaccine and PRIORIX does not contain any adjuvant. They contain live virus but weakened, causing an infection unapparent and benign. This microinfection is sufficient to generate antibodies against the measles, that will be a barrier to the disease Should it do reminders ? In fact, it's not really a reminders as to the other vaccines, but a vaccination because it happens that this live vaccine does not “take”, that is to say that it does not cause the mild infection you want. With two injections, the probability of a double failure becomes very small. If one has a doubt about the number of injections received, it is better to vaccinate, even at the adult age, which will have no harmful effect if it is in fact a third injection.",295,"france"

The decision, which comes into force in march of next year if the Bundestag (lower chamber) of the ratified, obliges also to vaccinate children in refugee centres and will also force the parents to prove that their children are vaccinated before entering daycare and the school system. ""We want the inside to prevent children from getting sick because measles can have an evolution very bad, sometimes fatal,"" argued the minister of Health, Jens Spahn. According to official figures, last year, recorded in Germany a total of 543 cases of measles, and so far this year add up to more than 400. The decision of the Council of Ministers comes at a time when in Germany -and in much of Europe - wide groups question the importance of vaccines. The staff of child-care facilities and schools, along with those working in the field of medicine and in community centres, such as accommodations for refugees, should also be vaccinated. Measles cases soar in worldwide measles cases have skyrocketed around the world because in the last eight years an annual average of more than 20 million children have not received the vaccine relevant, is given in two doses, which makes it difficult to achieve the so-called ""immunity"" collective for this viral disease. The Fund United Nations Children's fund (UNICEF) has been report, in the framework of the Global Week of Vaccination, that between 2010 and 2017 approximately 169 million children did not receive the first dose of the measles vaccine, which gives an annual average of 21.1 million children. In the first three months of 2019, has indicated to UNICEF, there have been over 110,000 cases of measles around the world, nearly 300 percent more than in the same period last year. ""The breeding ground for the outbreak of global measles that we witness today was established years ago,"" said Henrietta Fore, executive director of UNICEF. The UN agency has explained that the two doses of the vaccine are ""essential"" to protect children from measles. In 2017, the coverage of the first dose reached 85 percent, a figure ""relatively constant"", but the second dose reached only 67 per cent. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends a threshold of coverage of 95 percent to win the ""immunity collective"", although it is far from this goal due to, among other things, to ""weak health systems"" and, in some cases, ""the fear or the skepticism of vaccines."" UNICEF has called attention to the fact that it is a problem which also affects high-income countries, where the coverage of the first dose is 94 per cent and of the second dose, 91 per cent, according to the most recent data.

Monday received doctors across the country a letter from the Danish Agency for Patient safety, which focuses on maslingesmitte. It happens after two people have been infected with the disease in Val Thorens in France. There are outbreaks of measles in the popular skiing area, and it has created preparedness at the Agency for Patient safety and at the Danish State serum institute. They expect that in the coming period can be found several cases of measles among the returnees, skiglade danes, who has spent the winter holidays in Val Thorens. It is clear from a press release from the Agency. Most infectious disease Symptoms are often the first signs of measles. Fever, eye irritation, and headaches are some of the things that can create suspicion of infection, says Bente Moller, chief physician and head of section at the Agency for Patient safety, to TV 2 News. After a few days, there will be a rash that spreads from the top down over the body. And it is important to be aware of the disease can spread rapidly. - Measles is contagious very much. In fact, it is the most infectious disease we have in Denmark. You just need to be in the same room as someone with measles, so you can be infected, explains Bente Moller. Dangerous for small children It is especially unvaccinated young children and adults who are at risk. And the infectious disease has led to several deaths in Europe last year. It explains the practitioner Birgitte Ries Turbines to TV 2 NEWS. - Of course it is not a harmless disease, especially if you have a bad immune system. But it's not something I'd whip up an atmosphere of, "" she says, and elaborates, that there is no reason for concern, if you are fully vaccinated. Here votes Bente Moller in: - We should not be worried in Denmark - not at all, if you are vaccinated or have had the disease. But if you are not vaccinated, it is a very good idea to get it done. It is important that you call the doctor quickly if you suspect that you are infected Bente Moller, chief physician in case of an accident If the accident would be out, and you have already been infected with measles, it is still possible to get the benefit of the vaccine, if one is quick. - The doctor can vaccinate for up to 72 hours after infection, and may be antibodies up to six hours after the smittetidspunktet. Therefore, it is important that you call the doctor quickly if you suspect that you are infected, says Bente Moller in the press release from the Danish Agency for Patient safety. However, it is important that you do not show up at the doctor and sit in the waiting room. Because of smittefaren you can risk spreading the disease to the others in the room. What happens? It is not possible to tell with certainty how a course will look at the individual maslingesmittede. Anyway is there a guide as to how the disease often develops: There are typically 8 to 11 days, from one infected with the measles virus, for one begins to feel the first symptoms. The first symptoms are flu-like and may be fever, eye irritation, headaches and the like. After three to four days there will often be experienced in recovery – but briefly. Then the fever once again flare up, before the characteristic maslingeudslat comes to sight. The typical maslingeudslat begins behind the ears and spreads in the course of a few days, down over the neck and body before it finally shows up on the arms and legs. The rash usually lasts three to five days. Then the temperature will again start to fall. Otitis media, pneumonia, encephalitis and blodplademangel can in some cases come as a result of the disease.

In the 53 countries of the who european region of measles last year killed 72 people, which in comparison with ""ordinary"" flu or car accidents looks like an extremely small number. In season 2017/2018 died just in the Czech republic in connection with the flu 260 people and the influence of the automobile accidents came in the CZECH republic in the year 2018 about the life of the other 565 people. Of course this is comparing together totally unrelated things, the classic ""pears with apples"", however, one common thought line I can find. For the family of each deceased, and it is completely one, whether it is a dead cyclist hit by a car, sick with the flu or an infected measles, this is a tragedy. And often unnecessary. Death will take it back there. We want to make it dead what least? The misleading question, ""do you want to on the roads dying more people"", would certainly find no one who would answer in the affirmative. Yet we have legislators promoting the idea of alcohol at the wheel, which is in a country where beer is often the cheapest beverage, somewhat special. It is similar in the case of vaccination. To the whole of society can actively face the diseases of certain diseases, must in her work of the so-called collective immunity (in the medical sense of the word), so people who actively question or outright deny the necessity of vaccination directly undermine the principle of collective immunity, and thus actually promote the spread of the virus in the population. | ""In the year 2017 while the WHO has recorded only 25 836 cases (measles ed.), in 2011, until then the worst year of the decade, 33 of 254 cases,"" the magazine writes the Universe in the issue of April 2019, relying on the data published by the World health organisation.

Further, by increasing the number of opponents of vaccination. (Not)an ordinary debate on an ordinary facebook profile One example for all. In a facebook discussion on this topic one of the panelists, Eva Vejmělková, literally says: ""...parents have the experience that the vaccination acted as a trigger, that is to say, that after the vaccine there have been some difficulties and after the changes in the behavior..."" and that it ""officially recognized the impact of vaccination as a starter"". In the ensuing maelstrom of questions, where, i.e. in which the relevant study is officially admits that the vaccination is the trigger changes the behavior (the discussion is led on the line of autism), followed by the only obfuscation, abuse chatters and excuses. Many times in the discussion there was a request: let's stick to substance, please provide the study. The result? The link, of course, no, as a similar study does not exist, but was followed by a whole parade of argumentative fouls: from the uprooting of context over abuse chatters (you should get about the topic of something to read), which should be indication, that about a topic they know nothing. The funny thing about the situation was that debaters were people with a long-term engaged in the popularization of science and is the topic of vaccination have devoted more than one post. However this is one example, similar to the principle of discussion in the Czech internet environment occurs to the subject of vaccination very often. Mandatory vaccinations – we got into the ranks, no questions asked Similar discussions undoubtedly runs on the Czech social networks a lot and it would be unfair on the basis of one draw any generalising conclusions. However, the situation in Europe, where fundamentally changes the approach to vaccination, shows that it is similar to the chat channels changing awareness of the company.

There have been 34 cases of measles since late January in Surrey, mostly in the Redhill area.  A further 23 individuals are being investigated as possible measles cases.  Public Health England (PHE) South East is urging people to check they are up-to-date with two doses of MMR vaccine.  Measles is a highly infectious viral illness that can be very unpleasant and lead to serious complications, especially in people with immune problems, pregnant women, and in babies younger than one year.  Because it’s so infectious anyone with symptoms is being advised NOT to go to their GP or a hospital without telephoning first.  This allows arrangements to be made to reduce the chance of spreading the infection hospital or GP waiting rooms.  Symptoms of measles typically include:  high fever (temperature of 39°C or higher)  sore, red, watery eyes  coughing  aching and feeling generally unwell  a blotchy red brown rash, which usually appears 1-2 days after the initial symptoms  PHE South East Health Protection consultant Dr Margot Nicholls, said: “Measles is extremely infectious. It is really important that anyone who hasn’t already had two doses of the MMR vaccine contacts their GP surgery for an appointment to get vaccinated.  “If you’re unsure whether you or your children have had 2 MMRs, first check your child’s Red Book or contact your GP surgery.  “You do not need additional MMR vaccines if you and your children have all had two MMR vaccines.  With ongoing outbreaks in other parts of Europe including Romania, Italy and Ukraine, PHE is also warning that anyone travelling to these countries is at particularly high risk.  If you’re planning to go to these countries the advice is to contact your GP to arrange to make sure that you are fully vaccinated before you travel.  Dr Nicholls added: “If you think you could have measles, it’s also really important to stay away from places where you could come into contact with lots of other people – so do not go to work or school, visit hospital or attend social gatherings until at least four days after the onset of the rash.”",290,"uk"

"28104","The measles virus destroys the immune system in non-vaccinated children Two studies confirm that creates a type of 'amnesia ' immune' that leaves people more vulnerable to future infections by other pathogens, almost as helpless as a newborn A. I. Madrid Updated: 04/11/2019 11:04h Save Send news by email Your name * Your email * Your email * related News Attention to those born after 1970: the return of the measles Two independent investigations, published today in ""Science Immunology"" and ""Science"", warn of the unknown risk that may be not to vaccinate children on measles. The studies, carried out on information obtained from the immune system of 77 non-vaccinated children, before and after measles infection, have revealed that the infection can damage the immunity against viruses and bacteria to long-term, creating a kind of 'amnesia ' immune' that leaves people more vulnerable to future infections by other pathogens, almost as helpless as a newborn. Following these data, the scientists underline once more the need for widespread vaccination, which can not only prevent measles, but also to prevent the weakening of the 'immunity ' collective' to other types of pathogens, such as viruses or bacteria. The virus that causes measles is one of the more contagious that is. Before the introduction of the measles vaccine, nearly all children suffering from this disease. Vaccination has helped to reduce in 80% the cases of measles between 2,000 and 2.017, saving about 21,1 million lives. However, due to a combination between the unfounded campaigns of groups antivacunas, the position of some religious communities in favor of not immunizing their children, and a limited access to the vaccine, measles continues to affect more than 7 million people annually around the world, causing more than 100,000 deaths. In fact, it is estimated that the reduction in the number of people vaccinated, for whatever reason, has led to an increase of almost 300% in the infections of measles since 2018, and in countries where there is access to vaccines, such as the US or Germany, are occurring epidemic outbreaks in populations determined. The virus is much more harmful than we think, which means that the vaccine is far more valuable to help estimate the impact of vaccination, a group of researchers have analyzed whether the measles can really facilitate a suppression of the immune response, and if this can be maintained for months or years even after the disappearance of the visible symptoms, as the characteristic eruption. This hypothesis has already been supported by some previous studies, including evidence that associated measles with up to 50% of child deaths due to infectious diseases. However, it is unknown exactly how it develops the immune suppression post-measles in humans. The study is published today in ""Science"", which analyzed the blood samples of 77 non-vaccinated children before and after an outbreak of measles in a Dutch community, revealed that the virus clears the memory immune to pathogens previous. In fact, measles was eliminated between 11 and 73% of the antibodies protectors of children, the proteins in the blood that ‘remember’ virus previous, and help the body to avoid repeated infections. Without these antibodies, claim the authors of this work, the children lose a large part of your immune defenses and become vulnerable to the virus that has already met and defeated. That is to say, ensures the co-author of the study and a professor of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (USA), Stephen Elledge, ""these children are not as helpless as infants –that have not yet been vaccinated-but almost."" And he adds: ""We have found evidence is really strong that the measles virus, in reality, is destroying the immune system"". The discovery is key in a situation in which many people have their doubts given the vaccines. The virus is much more harmful than we think, which means that the vaccine is much more valuable,"" underlines Elledge. The other antibodies of the children seemed to be disappearing The group of Elledge, thanks to its technology of virus detection. VirScan, a tool that Elledge and his colleagues, you can identify all the viruses that have infected an individual, using only a drop of blood. VirScan can detect antibodies against HIV, flu, herpes, and hundreds of other viruses. However, I struggled to detect the measles. In those people vaccinated decades ago, the amount of anti-measles antibody in the blood may be too low for it to VirScan is able to detect it. Then, Elledge has partnered with Michael Mina, epidemiologist from Harvard University, and Rik de Swart, Medical Center of the Erasmus University (the Netherlands), to analyse samples of children newly infected. In 2013, the team Of Swart in Rotterdam, it had collected blood samples of children not vaccinated in a community the protestant orthodox in the Netherlands, with the consent of the parents of the children. Later, there was an epidemic of measles, and the researchers returned to collect another set of blood samples. The average time between collections of samples was 10 weeks. Years later, Elledge, analyzed the samples using VirScan. His team had no problems to see the antibodies against the measles, but they noticed something peculiar. The other antibodies of the children seemed to be disappearing. After the measles infection, the collection of antibodies that the children had accumulated during his life was reduced, sometimes drastically. Depending on whether the infection was mild or severe, the children lost the 33 or the 40 per cent of its total collection of antibodies. ""When it comes to measles, the antibodies just disappear"". The monkeys lost, on average, 40 to 60 percent of the antibodies that protect them from other pathogens, The researchers repeated the experiment in four monkeys, this time collecting blood samples before and up to five months after infection. The results were even more revealing. The monkeys lost, on average, 40 to 60 percent of the antibodies that protect them from other pathogens. In the study published in ""Science Immunology"", Velislava Petrova and colleagues from the Institute of Blood (Uk) sequenced the antibodies produced by B cells, an immune-cell primary able to recognize a virus and deploy attacks against him, this same group of 77 non-vaccinated children. When comparing the data of the B cells of the children, before and after the measles infection, the researchers identified two indications of immune suppression of measles: replacement incomplete of the group of B-cells and memory immune compromised due to depletion of the clones of b cells. In additional studies on animals, the scientists found that ferrets infected with measles already vaccinated against the flu became less immune to viruses and experienced more severe symptoms after the secondary infection from the flu. For Elledge, the final conclusion of these current work is evident: ""Vaccinate your children"".",289,"spain"

"2252","HEALTH - measles cases in the world have jumped about 300% in the first three months of the year, compared to the same period last year, announced this Monday, April 15, the WHO, noting that in Africa the increase was the bar of 700%. ""To date, in 2019, 170 countries have reported 112.163 measles cases to WHO. Last year at the same date, 28.124 cases of measles had been identified in 163 countries. This represents an increase of almost 300% on a global scale”, said the specialised agency of the UN in a press release, stating that it was provisional and therefore incomplete. The WHO estimates that less than one in ten cases is reported in the world. Africa is the region most affected by the outbreak, with an increase of 700% during the first three months of the year (in annual comparison), followed by Europe ( 300%), the eastern Mediterranean ( 100%), the Americas ( 60%) and the region of South-East Asia/western Pacific ( 40%). Measles is one of the most contagious diseases in the world for which there is no curative treatment, but it can be prevented by two doses of a vaccine “safe and effective”, according to the WHO. Measles re-appeared a little everywhere in the world, because of a distrust of vaccines in rich countries or poor access to health care in poor countries. The WHO emphasizes the importance of the vaccine The “anti-vax” is based on a publication from 1998 linking the vaccine and autism. However, it has been established that its author, the British Andrew Wakefield, had falsified his results, and many studies have since shown that the vaccine did not increase the risk of autism. According to WHO, outbreaks of measles are rife in the democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Madagascar, Burma, the Philippines, Sudan, Thailand, and Ukraine, “causing numerous deaths, mostly among young children”. “In recent months, the number of cases also reached a peak in in countries where the vaccine coverage overall is high, especially in the United States, Israel, Thailand and Tunisia, because the disease has spread among groups of unvaccinated persons,” said the WHO. In 2017, the 110,000 deaths from measles were recorded, according to the WHO. The disease is manifested by a high fever and then a rash of plates. It is contagious four days before and after this eruption. Often benign, it can however lead to serious complications, respiratory (lung infections) and neurological (encephalitis), especially in frail people. Health authorities worldwide insist on the importance of the vaccine, at the individual level but also collective: high vaccination coverage (95% of the population) protects persons who cannot themselves be vaccinated, especially because their immune system is weakened. However, this rate of overall coverage (for the first dose of vaccine) has been stagnating for several years to 85% according to the WHO. See also on HuffPost:",288,"france"

In cause, the decline in the number of people who are vaccinated against this highly contagious virus, which kills especially in the poor countries. It is a virus which had sometimes forgotten that he could kill. After decades of dramatic progress, the fight against measles is stagnating and the number of deaths is on the rise again in 2018, alerted the WHO, the world health Organization and the u.s. health authorities on Thursday. In total, 142.000 people died from measles in the world by 2018. It is four times less than in 2,000, but up 15% from 2017. Outbreaks the number of patients that could be seen almost everywhere in the world, from the Pacific to Europe. The measles, which can travel very easily, is one of the virus the most contagious, which can stay in a room two hours after the passage of an infected person, and it has caused epidemics on five continents since 2018, exploding in cities or neighbourhoods where too few people are vaccinated. read more Measles : for the first time in seven years, the number of cases is increasing in Europe To the islands of Samoa, 62 deaths since October, The small islands of Samoa in the South Pacific, fighting at this moment against the epidemic, which has 62 people dead since October.

Five countries have concentrated almost half of the cases in 2018 : the democratic Republic of the Congo, Liberia, Madagascar, Somalia and the Ukraine, according to a report published by the Centers for control and prevention of diseases (CDC). A virus that kills in poor countries in rich countries, measles kills no or very little. But in the DRC, measles kills two times more than Ebola: 5.000 dead this year.

The three most affected countries in the period have been Madagascar ('s 127,000 cases), Ukraine (54,300) and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (7.500), as has been noted today at a press conference the spokesman of the WHO's Christian Lindmeier, who has stressed that the number of cases in the first seven months has already exceeded the total recorded in all the year 2018. Likewise, there have been important outbreaks of this disease in countries such as Angola, Cameroon, Chad, Kazakhstan, Nigeria, Philippines, Sudan, South Sudan and Thailand. ""Lack of awareness about the need for vaccination"" Lindmeier has highlighted that the rise in cases is related to different factors, ranging from lack of access to health services and vaccination, outbreaks and in conflict zones or with large displaced communities.

In the worst case, it can be life-threatening. The disease is incredibly contagious and lead to symptoms such as coughing, high fever and a rash. In Sweden the disease is now rare, as it is included in the vaccination programme for children. In recent years, however, there has arisen a resistance against the vaccine, which is given to the disease, which has been to several countries around the world received the sudden outburst. In Sweden, it was reported that even the ”mässlingsträffar”, where parents deliberately have infected their children with the measles vaccine, in order to avoid the need for vaccination.

In both studies, the disease can cause a kind of loss of memory in the immune system by targeting the antibodies that help protect against diseases. What is the disease? The most common symptoms, According to the site, Netdoktor's disease is one of the most infectious virussjukdomarna exist. The reason is, morbillivirus, and some of the symptoms include: High fever, a runny nose and cough, Red eyes, Tender lymph nodes, sore throat and a Rash that comes after a few days, the Disease is notifiable according to the communicable diseases act. The researchers, from the Harvard Medical School, examined blood samples from children, both before and after the disease, and found that the virus destroys between 11 per cent and 73 per cent of the body's protective antibodies. What this means in practice is that we will suddenly be susceptible to the disease, we have previously been immune to, as the immune system . Vaccines for other diseases may, therefore, be of no effect. In a country like Afghanistan, where polio is still rife, it may be necessary to get vaccinated again. – Imagine that your immunity against the diseases, which is a book full of photographs of criminals that you're carrying around.

By the way, to countries where the risk of infection is higher in children over 9 months of age, be offered immunization. According to CNN news, have the vaccine, with 97 per cent efficiency after a dose of two. The researchers involved in the studies are, therefore, careful to point out the importance of the need to vaccinate their children, because it is so easy to prevent this disease.

We promised that by 2020 Europe would be measles free.”  This suspicion against vaccines is often caused by mistrust of pharmaceutical companies.  WHO and the EU have created organisations to help educate people about the safety and positive effects of vaccines.  Heidi Larson, the director of the Vaccine Confidence Project at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, says the anti-vaccine movement has multiple reasons for their stand against medicine.  “It’s going down in some places and we have these pockets [of low immunisation] and this is not going to get easier, especially as more and more vaccines and combinations of vaccines are being brought on board”, she said.  “Part of the challenge is that it’s various things and many of them are outside the scope of an immunisation programme – it’s political, it’s religious and it’s increasingly part of identity for people.”",286,"uk"

"21115","RomoloTavani / WIRED  In 2016, the UK managed to eliminate measles for the first time in its history. Transmission of the disease had been disrupted and the vaccination rate in five-year-olds had reached the recommended 95 per cent coverage level required to ensure herd immunity.  Three years later, the UK’s measles-free status has been revoked. This comes after the country has seen measles cases triple in 2018 – with 991 confirmed cases in England and Wales, compared with 284 cases the year before. In the first quarter of 2019 alone, the rash- and fever-causing virus has sickened more than 230 people across the UK.  Advertisement  In countries that have eliminated measles, isolated cases can still occur but transmission is no longer considered endemic, which happens when immunisation rates are high enough to halt the persistent transmission of the disease within a population. All it takes is 12 months of a single strain of virus circulating within its borders for a country to lose the World Health Organisation (WHO) elimination status. Aside from an uptick in recent cases, Public Health England confirmed this week that the UK’s ”measle-free” status was revoked after the same strain of virus – B3 Dublin – was detected for more than 12 months in 2017 and 2018.  Measles is now endemic in ten European countries including Belgium, France and Germany. The increasing number of outbreaks across Europe has meant the UK has lost its ability to stop the virus from spreading, according to Helen Bedford, a professor of child public health at UCL.  Read next DeepMind's new AI can spot breast cancer just as well as your doctor DeepMind's new AI can spot breast cancer just as well as your doctor  “And that’s the result of gaps in immunity,” she says. The most effective way to combat outbreaks of what is one of the world’s most infectious diseases, is for children to get two doses of MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) jabs. The idea of vaccines like MMR is to reach a threshold of herd immunity, in which a population is protected because the vast majority of people have been vaccinated against it. An estimated 20 million measles cases and 4,500 deaths have been prevented in the UK since a vaccine was introduced in 1968.  But at least 95 per cent of the population need to be vaccinated against measles to interrupt the spread of the disease if cases do start to arise. “While coverage of the first dose in the UK has reached the WHO target of 95 per cent for children aged five, coverage of the second dose is at 87.4 per cent”, Public Health England said in a blog post explaining the reasons for the UK losing the WHO’s elimination status.  Advertisement  While overall vaccination rates haven’t dropped drastically from previous years, Bedford stresses that a 95 per cent uptake of both doses – the first being routinely given to children at one year of age and the second around three – is required to stop the spread of measles. “Although we achieved the measles-free status a few years ago, we need to keep levels of vaccination uptake high to sustain that over the years. Because measles is so highly infectious, any small decline in uptake will threaten a community,” she says. Not only children who miss out on vaccinations are susceptible to catching the disease, but also those who can’t have vaccinations such as people undergoing cancer treatment. A 2017 study showed that a five per cent decrease in MMR vaccines could result in a threefold increase in measles cases.  The gaps in the UK’s immunity seem to be the consequence of a double whammy. Both toddlers and young adults remain unprotected. “We’ve got older adolescents who may not have been immunised when they were toddlers as their parents were scared because of the controversy around the safety of the MMR vaccine,” says Bedford.  But the decline in vaccination rates isn’t just down to people deliberately avoiding vaccinating their children. One explanation for the recent decline in uptake could be a misplaced belief that measles no longer pose a risk. “Once you get high vaccine rates and you don’t see much disease, people start thinking the disease is not around anymore,” says Bedford. She adds that many parents don’t realise when their children are due their second jab. “It’s not parents not wanting the vaccine because otherwise you wouldn’t have 95 per cent [of the population] having one dose at five years,” she says.

Doug Brown, chief executive of the British Society for Immunology, underpins that vaccine uptake is primarily about convenience. The underfunded NHS struggles to follow up with patients and send them reminders for the second MMR dose, he says, adding that even simple logistical issues such as a practice’s limited opening hours or the need to pay for a bus fare can result in lower uptake  Advertisement  Since 2015, the number of UK health professionals visiting families with young children has fallen by a quarter. “Immunisation services should be made convenient and accessible and should be funded adequately,” says Brown. In light of the UK losing its measles elimination status, prime minister Boris Johnson ordered GPs to follow up with parents whose children may have missed out on both doses and revealed a campaign to stop the spread of misleading anti-vaccine messages and has ordered.  “The government has made the right commitments, which is a huge step in the right direction,” says Brown. “But they do need to put the money where their mouth is to reverse the year-on-year cuts that have happened to the public health budget.” He believes adequate funding would see a reversal of the downward trend in vaccine uptake, and in turn, a stop in measles outbreaks that would eventually earn the UK its “measle-free” status back.  MMR vaccines are freely accessible through the NHS, but what about making them compulsory? Earlier this year, researchers from the Bruno Kessler Foundation in Italy looked at vaccination trends in multiple countries – including the UK, Ireland, the US and Australia – and suggested introducing compulsory vaccination at school entry to achieve stable herd immunity levels by 2050.  UCL’s Bedford stresses, however, that linking vaccinations to school entry may encourage some parents to take their children out of school and homeschool them. “In those situations, it’s always the disadvantaged that are at more disadvantage,” she says. Wealthy families are able to pay for a private tutor or fines imposed for unvaccinated children. “We need to make it easier for parents to get their children immunised and their questions answered and remind them about it rather than bringing in mandation.”  Read next Everyone should be worried by big tech's huge NHS data grab Everyone should be worried by big tech's huge NHS data grab  More great stories from WIRED  <U+0001F621> TikTok is fuelling India's deadly hate speech epidemic  <U+0001F680> The staggering power of Russia's top-secret nuclear rocket  <U+0001F36B> The foods you'll really need to stockpile for no-deal Brexit  <U+267B><U+FE0F> The truth behind the UK's biggest recycling myths  Advertisement  <U+0001F937><U+0001F3FC> How is the internet still obsessed with Myers-Briggs?  <U+0001F4E7> Get the best tech deals and gadget news in your inbox",284,"uk"
"22115","An isolated Amazon tribe on the Venezuela-Brazil border has been hit by a measles epidemic that could kill hundreds of indigenous people if emergency action is not taken, NGOs have warned.  The Yanomami people, who live in communities on both sides of the border, have reported up to 100 cases of measles since the first reports of illness began to emerge in March, according to media in Brazil. But with most living far from medical facilities, assessment and treatment is difficult.  Across northern Brazil as a whole, at least 500 people have been confirmed to be infected by measles, while 1,500 suspected cases are also being investigated, according to authorities. Survival International, an NGO working to protect indigenous groups, said the outbreak could prove devastating to the Yanomami, who are not protected from the disease.  There had very likely already been deaths deep in the forest and many more could follow, the group said.  Stephen Corry, the group’s director, said: “When tribal people experience common diseases like measles or flu, which they’ve never known before, many of them die and whole populations can be wiped out. These tribes are the most vulnerable peoples on the planet. Urgent medical care is the only thing standing between these communities and utter devastation.”",284,"uk"

The child, who was then not of age to be vaccinated against the measles when she was caught, has developed a significant fever, and a rash all over his body. “It was absolutely terrifying to see them go through there and be so helpless. She didn't know what was happening and it was heartbreaking to see,” said the young mother to the BBC, after having stated that it is his grand-mother, great-grandmother Alba, who has been the first to suspect the measles in light of the symptoms of the baby. “All we want is to share our story and educate parents about what can happen to babies at high risk who cannot be vaccinated for whatever reason, or who are too young to be vaccinated. [...] I think it is important that it be understood that the vaccines are there for a reason,” said Jilly Moss, who thought he might actually lose her daughter when the infection was at its peak. According to the latest figures from the world Health Organization (WHO), more than 110 000 cases of measles have been registered in the world during the first three months of 2019, an increase of 300% compared to last year. An increase in part due to the rise of the distrust of vaccines, while vaccination against measles is the way to fight the most effective to eradicate this disease. To be protected, the vulnerable people can only count on the other. However, it is necessary that the vaccination coverage exceeds 95% of people vaccinated to eliminate measles, both locally and globally. Source : BBC",283,"france"

This figure is exceptional, but not rare, remains a problem, especially in the corsican neighbours. Is there an epidemic of measles among the dolphins off the coast of Corsica ? Corsica, France, This is the measles that is in part responsible for the death of some forty dolphins, since the beginning of the year, along the tuscan coasts. Or rather, it is the Morbillivirus, a virus of the same family as measles human. The figure may seem impressive, but it is not uncommon. ""To have lived the worst-case scenarios of the 1990s, I know that these figures are not extreme,"" said Cathy Cesarini, the head of the national Network of stranding in Corsica. The epidemics come and go in cycles, approximately one outbreak every ten years in the Mediterranean. Two cases of possible contamination in Corsica The Morbillivirus in the dolphin remains a mystery to researchers. How is the disease transmitted ? How cetaceans are they contaminating ? Why in such a region at this particular time ? These are all questions which, for the moment, remain unanswered. ""We do not know systematically the cause of the death of the animals."" - Cathy Cesarini Copy The Corse has already experienced several episodes of epidemic. ""When you see the autopsy, that the lungs are in a very bad state, we may have doubts,"" says Cathy Cesarini. Besides, the head of the national Network of stranding was counted as two cases of deaths probably related to the Virus, in July. ""But since then, nothing. So it may be two isolated cases."" No exceptional mortality Since the beginning of the year, on the island, less than a dozen of cetaceans were found dead or dying. ""Knowing that it discovered about 25 per year, without counting those that we don't discover them because they die at sea and never arrive on the coast."" The autopsy is often difficult, since the dolphins tend to stay a long time at sea before reaching the island of Corsica. The animals are thus already in a state of putrefaction advanced, making it difficult to examine the causes of death.",283,"france"
"5879","After the death of a girl only 9 years old because of measles, the primary and Alberto Villani, who worked on the case, speaks of vaccines. The case Has saddened all of the death in Rome of a little girl of 9 years old because of measles. The small, already suffering from cromosopatia, had never received the vaccine for measles. The infection has worsened the situation was already complicated, leading to the collapse of various organs – especially the respiratory system and the nervous system, chosen from measles. The ride to the hospital Bambin Gesu has not helped: the girl has lost her life for the damage caused by measles. In this period the controversy on the vaccines are the day-to-day and grows more and more number of people convinced they can do without it or to have free choice. The death, however, of a little girl of just 9 years for a vaccine failure makes you think and ask questions. The most important questions were placed at the primary Alberto Villani, who intervened in the case of the girl who died at Rome. The opinion of primary to The girl, as reported by the primary Villani, arrived to the hospital already in critical condition. The genetic condition of the base had worsened and accelerated the effects of measles. For this, when it comes to children suffering from genetic diseases, the primary highly recommended the vaccine. “The children are more fragile and should be vaccinated, even more than the other. Diseases that can lead to serious consequences, are preventable, only if you are vaccinated.” The risk of infection in simple source can become lethal increases dramatically in children and more weak have not been vaccinated. And this was also the case of the little girl died at Rome: when the primary Villani asked if the vaccine would have saved his reply is “Of course not, it would be dead in April. For the child and the vaccination was not recommended, was doubly indicated.” The distrust of patients One of the concerns that most afflicts the primary Villani – and like him many other doctors – is the distrust that feeling, and the italians toward the institutions and to hospitals. “You have to have trust in the institutions and doctors. It is necessary to make first of all a cultural operation. To improve the culture of health in our country. You should do health education right from the elementary. The population must be educated to reconsider the value of health. The vaccination must be considered a practice to be taken with extreme serenity,” A response to all of the parents who fear vaccines may cause autism. For those who still had doubts, the primary Villani has also specified the cases in which the vaccine is contraindicated: “children undergoing immunosuppressive therapies, children with cancer, with diseases such as intestinal Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis, [ ... ] And then the very rare cases of acquired immunodeficiency or congenital” Before parents make a choice fundamental to the life of their children will need to research for good.",283,"italy"

Health recommends vaccination for those born after 1970, who are not immunized ABC Health Updated: 04/09/2019 10:05h Save Send news by email Your name * Your email * Your email * The recommendation of Health of those born from 1970 to be vaccinated for the measles if they are not consists to be immunized is not new but already contained in the document ""Vaccination of adult population"" of September 2018. This appeal is based on the fact that the recent outbreaks of measles in our country show an increasing number of cases in people born in Spain between 1970 and 2000, most of them without documentation of having been vaccinated. In Spain, the mmr vaccine (measles, rubella and mumps) are not introduced into the immunization schedule until 1981, with high hedges since then. Health advised by both vaccination with two doses of TV, with an interval between doses of at least 4 weeks, people who were born in Spain since 1970 and without a history of vaccination with a TV. In this document 2018 it is assumed that those born before 1970 are assumed to have had measles. From the Spanish Association of Vacunología remind us that, subsequently, in the Calendar of Vaccinations for the Lifetime of the year 2019, the Ministry of Health expanded that recommendation to the susceptible population under 65 years of age. From the Spanish Association of Vacunología insist that adults 40 to 50 years old must only be vaccinated if you have not had the measles or not been vaccinated against measles with two doses. In the common schedule of childhood immunizations include the mmr, with the first dose at 12 months, and a second to 3-4 years. In Spain, vaccination coverage is high and in fact the WHO has certified that we remain a country free of measles transmission. The 233 cases of measles confirmed between 1 January and 21 July of 2019 are imported cases or side to them and the transmission has been interrupted with ease. This week has been known a report based on the data of the 53 countries that make up the european area of the who notes that four countries have lost the status of having eradicated the disease ( United Kingdom, Albania, Czech Republic and Greece), while two others (Austria and Switzerland) have reached.",282,"spain"
"61104","In Spain there is an alarm in measles. The Verification Commission for the Elimination of Measles and Rubella in Europe of the World Health Organization (WHO) renewed this same August the seal of a country free of both diseases, which has been in place since 2016. Can't say the same thing from the Uk, Greece or Czech Republic, that they have lost. The Ministry of Health reminds the accreditation of the WHO in the note to which they refer to as all information about the measles. The have been developed due to the ""general confusion"" of the last few weeks, but ""there are no grounds to justify a change of the strategy or recommendations"". Some health centres, as attested to by the health personnel, are already turning patients wondering whether they should get vaccinated for measles. The short answer is that, if you were born after 1970, and doubts about whether you've made it through the disease as a child or if you're vaccinated, get vaccinated. The long answer has its nuances, which we pass to explain. How is measles spread? Measles is a viral disease highly contagious, as defined by the WHO. It is transmitted by fluids from nose, mouth and pharynx, and has an incubation period of between 8 and 12 days. One of his first and most common symptoms is fever, followed by the appearance of a rash or eruption on the skin. The period of recovery going from 2 to 3 weeks, and can have complications. From the Spanish Society of Epidemiology explained that there are only two ways of being immune: ""to Be vaccinated, or have already passed the disease during childhood."" The measles vaccine is part of mmr, which also protects against Rubella and Mumps –mumps–. Has an effectiveness rate ""of between 95 and 99%,"" according to indicate from the same entity. The vaccine is implemented at the state level and unified since 1981. It is not recommended during pregnancy and may not protect people who are immunosuppressed. Who needs to be vaccinated in 2019? The recommendations of the note of Health starts with the common calendar of vaccination for the whole life: put a first dose at 12 months of age, and a second between 3 and 4 years old. In the second place, Health is appealing to persons born in Spain since 1970 ""that have no history of vaccination with two doses"". If it only consists of a dose, ""you will administer a second"". To do this you can ""take advantage of routine visits"" in the office usual, which will assess the patient. In reality, the people who have to review your immunization record are those born between 1970 and 1980, some 7.2 million people who are now between 40 and 50 years. Are you Javier Padilla, family doctor of a health centre in the Community of Madrid and author of who are we going to let die? (Capitan Swing, 2019), named ""generation hinge: prior to implementation of a vaccine, in this case in 1981, there is a population group of some individuals who are vaccinated later than what they would receive, and others who do not"". That such a group existed was already known, and already some communities had been warned, the novelty is ""the amplification at the national level: hence the Ministry has carried out its work of policy co-ordination,"" says Padilla. Among those born in those years, there are to be vaccinated ""if there is no evidence of the disease, and have no recollection of vaccination with two doses or is the primer to verify it. You can pass a serology, but not usually because it is not reliable at all"", explains Padilla. Is the advice also of the Society of Epidemiology: ""it does Not mean that all have to go rushing to get vaccinated. It is impossible to make a 100% coverage in adults. If there is doubt, just make sure your state vacunacional in the health center, and to make it effective"". ""In people born before 1970 are assumed to be immune by having had the disease earlier"", described from the Ministry. That is to say: as it is a virus so infectious, almost all the people born before 1970 had. Are there more groups at risk? From the Spanish Society of Epidemiology want to make it clear that, although the group has more call to get the vaccine is that considered ""generation hinge"", everyone born from that year that have doubts about if you have the two doses ""must review"", although it would be unlikely because the calendar was already in place. From Health also highlight the ""health professionals"", which ""have a higher risk of acquiring measles than the population generates"". In some communities, there are other notices in particular on the review of the mmr, but are due to strains defective in regard to the protection against mumps. In Madrid there is one of the Concierge for those born between 1985 and 1988, and 1995 and 1998 review in your book the Triple Viral for if strain were the Jeryl Lynn or RIT 4385, due to outbreaks associated that have been given. ""Measles can be making general recommendations at the state level because of the chronology of events is similar in all of Spain. This other type of problems, related to strains, are territorial. What normal and desirable is that, when there is some outbreak or suspected, the Health care System access to the at-risk groups, that do not whip as a balloon catheter, and create alarm. It's the same with measles: now the communities will need to adapt health information to your level, institutionally and through the health-care personnel"", says Padilla. Is there a real danger of getting the measles? According to the Spanish Society of Epidemiology, now the focus of contagion, the more likely is external, that is to say, citizens of countries where it is not eradicated –or has ceased to be protected– visit Spain, and to develop here the symptoms. For each case, a level of personal contact means and between non-immune people, may arise between 15 and 17. If someone presents with symptoms of measles in a health center, it is usual to ""activate systems of epidemiological surveillance and develop a circle of people with which it has been in contact to ask if they are properly vaccinated and avoid an outbreak"". The reality: a situation like this occurs ""very sporadically, that is not happening. And if it happens, most of the people in Spain are going to be properly immunized"". Therefore, in the short term, there is no danger of losing the seal of WHO. ""It reiterates that we are not facing a situation of urgency"", they insist on the Health. ""Spain has good vaccination rates,"" continues Padilla. ""When there have been cases of outbreaks of measles the first thing is to analyze why: people who don't want to vaccinate, poor access to information, failure of the health care system"". Refers to an outbreak in Seville in the year 2011 by a group of people at risk of social exclusion.""When detected, was addressed directly by increasing the rates within that group."" And another in Granada in 2013, in which case it should be more than 300 people antivacunas. That ended judicializado and forcing families to vaccinate.",282,"spain"

Public health, France has clarified that this person was immunocompromised and non-vaccinated. The immune system of immunocompromised patients is weakened (by diseases or treatments which are taken after a transplant): this prevents the vaccination or makes it ineffective even if it had occurred in the past. Hence the importance, according to health authorities, that these patients are not in contact with people who are not vaccinated who may transmit measles. In 2018, three people had died of the measles, very contagious disease that can cause serious complications or even death (encephalitis, pneumonia, loss of vision). The first was a 32 year old woman who had never been vaccinated and had contracted the virus, leading his father to the emergency room. The second was a man of 25 years: suffering from a immune deficiency and transplant of a kidney, it could not be vaccinated. The last was a young girl of 16 years old, and grafted on the heart to 2 and a half years and who could not be vaccinated because of the treatments anti-rejection. In all, 24 people have died of this disease since 2008. Since the beginning of the year 2019, the measles has affected 350 people, significantly less than during the same period in 2018 (966), as published weekly on Wednesday. ""This is less than last year but this continues to be unacceptable in our country"", commented the minister of Health, Agnes Buzyn, questioned Wednesday in the national Assembly during questions to the government. Between 1 January and 10 march, 100 patients had to be hospitalized (of which 5 on intensive care) and for 27 of them, measles caused pneumonia, a serious complication. ""90% of the cases have occurred in patients with non-or improperly vaccinated,"" stressed public Health France. Rebound in The region of Auvergne, the Rhone-Alpes region is the most affected, with, in particular, an outbreak of 53 cases (36 suspected and 17 confirmed) in the ski resort of Val Thorens (in the majority of the seasonal workers) and 5 cases in the neighbouring valleys (Savoie). At the end of February, a French family achievement of measles had been placed over a week in isolation in Costa Rica, where she was staying. The authorities feared that it was the origin of a measles outbreak in this country, which has recorded its last indigenous case in 2006 and continues a campaign of free vaccination. According to the ministry of Health costa rican, the French child was not vaccinated. This family came from the region of Provence-Alpes-Côte d'azur, said public Health in France. In 2018, France has saved the 2,800 cases of measles. In the fall of 2012 and 2016, the disease has experienced a resurgence since the end of 2017, in favour of a decrease of the immunization coverage. The world health Organization and Unicef have warned recently in the face of the rebound of the disease in the world. According to Unicef, ten countries, including Brazil, Ukraine and France, are responsible for about three-quarters of the total increase in cases in 2018. In France, the vaccine has been made mandatory for children born after 1 January 2018. Previously, he was part of the recommended vaccines. A first injection is made to the 12 months of the child, followed by a second between 16 and 18 months.

In the first five months of 2019, were officially registered over 1,500 deaths related to measles, which represent about 75% of the total number of deaths registered in 2012, during the outbreak most deadly in the last decade. The team of MSF, in collaboration with those of the Ministry of health, are doing all they can to reduce the chain of transmission of the disease, vaccinating as soon as they are reported cases of measles and providing assistance to the patients. However, in addition to the efforts already made in the last few months, you will need more resources and organizations. Ensure the provision of vaccines and medicines is essential, the sooner the better it is. Rachel Séguin, Coordinator medical of MSF in the DRC. From the beginning of the year, we are engaged in the fight against the epidemic of measles, together with the Ministry of health, in the ten provinces of the country: Haut-Lomami, Haut-Uele, Ituri, Lualaba, Kasai, Kasai Central, North Kivu, South Kivu, Tanganyika, and Tshopo. Given the scope of the epidemic, MSF is strengthening its surveillance system and deploying the team in new areas of health to combat the spread of this highly infectious disease. “Measles has caused so much damage in my village, there were no deaths in almost all the houses, some families have lost two, three, or even four children Albertine resident of Kamwesha (in the province of Kasai), where MSF launched an emergency response last may that The measles primarily affects children.

"8811","What disease is this? It is a highly contagious disease caused by a virus. It is transmitted by direct contact and by air, as in coughing and sneezing. The incubation period for the virus of measles ranges from seven to 21 days, and the spread gives you four days before you experience a skin rash. What causes it? The first symptom of measles is a high fever, and ten or 12 days after exposure to the virus. Also, for the first time can be a stuffy nose, a cough, red and watery eyes and-small white spots on the oral mucosa. After that, appear, a skin rash on the face and neck. The rash can extend to the hands and feet. Measles can cause diarrhea, dehydration, infection in ears, pneumonia, and swelling of the brain, and this can lead to permanent damage to the brain or even death. During pregnancy, increases the risk of miscarriage or premature birth. How is the measles vaccine? Called Vaspr, short of a vaccine, measles, mumps, and rubella (hence the triple). It is made with versions of weak (or attenuated) of the virus, living with these disorders, which are obtained through the cultures and the successive in a laboratory, its agents and pathogens. It is administered into the muscle of the upper arm or the thigh. The kids have to take a dose, by the turn of the year. it is in this period that the immunity that they inherit from the mother starts to go away), and one dose by the age of five. The vaccination shall be made as soon as possible at an early stage, because otherwise the baby wouldn't have a way to protect yourself from viruses and bacteria. The children are not vaccinated for the benefit of the protection group is created for others to be vaccinated, but do not contribute to the immunity of the group. If the person is over 18 years of age, you only need to take one dose of the mmr vaccine. You are protected, you have already had the disease or has had two doses of the vaccine. Even for those of you who have had the measles, the Directorate-General for Health (DGS) has continued to recommend the vaccine. So what's the vaccination? This is the most important way to prevent diseases and, in the case of the measles. This vaccine is free of charge and is included in the National Programme on Immunization. The vaccine will stimulate the immune system to produce antibodies against foreign pathogens, such as measles. If contact with the virus, the immune system can recognize it and fight it. What are the side effects? “The side effects are very rare,” said Teresa Fernandes, Directorate of Services for the Prevention of Disease and Promotion of Health of the DGS. About six to ten days after vaccination, your child may have a slight rise in temperature. Some of the kids may lose their appetite and have a skin rash similar to measles. And one out of every 100 children may have seizures, febrile, says a report by the National Health service in Britain (NHS, its acronym in English). Only in very rare cases, children may have small spots on the skin, in the six weeks following the vaccination. Also, according to the NHS, less than one-in-a-million children have encephalitis (brain infection). Even so, the NHS warns that there is little scientific evidence that it does not mean that the encephalitis caused by the vaccine. But if your child has chickenpox, the likelihood of having a swelling of the brain increases to between one in 200 and one in 5000. When you do not recommend the vaccine? According to Teresa Fernandes, it is not recommended for people with imunodepressoes and the immune system, loss-making record. “It can make you sick,” he said. It is also not recommended for pregnant women, although there are no records of infection in an unborn child. Is it safe? “After so many years of experience and many, many millions of vaccines are administered around the world, it can be said that the vaccines have a high degree of safety, efficacy and quality,” he says to the DGS a report by the target date of 2015.

Europeans should be protected from this body's defenses by consuming fever and rash disease, but the vaccine-semitism to raise its head, and cases are on the increase. In the EU countries it was found last year, more than 12 000 measles cases, of which 35 were fatal. In finland, cases of the disease was 16 and preceding year 11. European figures are worrying, and have attracted also the EU-commission. For the first time attitudes to vaccines is settled in a large study, the results of which on the other hand, tranquilizers, but also gives rise to concerns. Health commission vice-president Jyrki Katainen (kok.) tell you that people have misconceptions about vaccines. Almost half of EU citizens believe that vaccines often cause serious side effects. In finland, the share is 41 percent. A common misconception is that vaccines can cause the disease against which they protect. – Even in those countries where confidence in vaccines is high, can be a little knowledge. People may take vaccines, but they do not know why, Katainen summed up. Still 85% of EU citizens consider vaccination as an effective way to combat infectious disease. In france and Italy, vaccination is compulsory in Finland and other European countries children receive two vaccine against measles. The first is given in Finland for 12-18 months of age and another 6-year-old. The vaccine is free, but its taking is not in Finland, not forced.

Finland does not maintain statistics on the top in Finland, the vaccine coverage, i.e. both vaccines percentage is the WHO's statistics, good, 92%. Among the leading EU countries in this century, not yet, but there will reach Hungary (99 %), Slovakia (97 %), Portugal (95 %) and Sweden (95 %). Figures are based on countries ' own declarations. Vaccine coverage reduction is a shared european problem. An un-vaccinated child or adult can, for example, carry the disease with him to Finland a holiday in Europe. Katainen is careful not to take at all position that, should member states consider the vaccine compulsion. The EU does not have competence, but the decision belongs to the member states. The commission wants to Katainen to take it seriously. What the EU can do, is to increase people's awareness of and support member states to rectify false information. Brussels was already acting as a disinformation-fighting unit, which also covers health-related fake science of. – Individuals decisions affect all the EU citizens.

Europe are living a paradoxical situation: it has happened to be considered eradicated to suffer an epidemic more alarming than the last few decades. Advertising From 2016 until today the increase of cases has not ceased. Julio García Rodríguez, member of the Spanish Society of Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology (Seimc), recalls that ""the accumulated data of incidence from 2000 to 2014 showed a reduction of the epidemic of 87% and the mortality rate of 84%. All of this is attributable to the vaccine, which is estimated to have prevented approximately 20 million deaths."" And now, Manuel Linares Rufo, national coordinator of the Working Group of Infectious, Tropical Medicine and Traveler's Spanish Society of Primary Care Physicians (Semergen), draws a gloomy picture: ""The cases of measles continue to rise in this 2019. According to preliminary data from the WHO to the notification of the same increased by 300% in the first three months of the year, in comparison with the same period of 2018. These figures continue the upward trend of the last two years."" Spain is particularly concerned about the situation of their european neighbours.

So, the president of the Spanish Association of Vaccines (AEV), Amos Garcia Rojas, has it clear and he believes that ""the solution is to get vaccinated. It is true that until a few years ago, and with some, such as polio, it is an act of faith, because it immunizes one against something that does not exist, but this is precisely why it is done, because with the vaccines are cleared of the disease"". Advertising In our country we follow the Plan of Elimination of Measles since 2000 and that according to the WHO aims to achieve at least a 95% vaccination rate in the second dose of the vaccine"", says García Rodríguez. The cases of this infectious disease declared between 2017-2018 in our country are between 1-9,99 per million, ""well below the figures for France, Italy, Uk or Greece with more than 20 cases per million of inhabitants"", adds the spokesperson of the Seimc. Advertising, however, although the global trend is downward, ""in the last year are showing increases of cases in areas where they should not occur, as in many countries of Europe (France, Italy, Poland, Czech Republic, Germany, Belgium, Bulgaria, the United Kingdom and Ireland). In America, in addition, there is an outbreak that began in Venezuela in 2017 and quickly spread to Brazil and other countries of the area"", says García Rodríguez. Do not neglect to Maintain the rate of vaccination coverage it is crucial. ""Each percentage point that is low is a loss of protection, falling below 90% is to assume that we're going to have an epidemic. In Spain, we are between 93% and 95%, and we must not let down our guard. That is what keeps us safe,"" insists Threshing. Therefore, Linares Rufo does not hesitate to warn that ""global data indicate that global coverage with the first dose has stalled at 85%, below the 95% required to prevent outbreaks, leaving many people and communities at risk. The second dose is situated in the 67%"". Advertising If this happens, you lose the shield that protects the entire society, or, as the experts stress, the immunity of group. ""When the vaccination rate drops below 95%, the ""herd effect"" which is the one that protects the inside of a community to individuals who have not been vaccinated by the abundance of people who are inoculated, it ceases to be effective"", explains García Rodríguez. And, in this, Spain needs to ""put the batteries"" because, according to WHO data, only four european countries have a rate of vaccination of the second dose is above 95%: Hungary, Portugal, Slovakia and Sweden. Therefore, Threshing does not hesitate to state that ""the best tool of prevention is the vaccine. It is not perfect, but it has a 97% of effectiveness."" And with this, from Semergen argue that ""the disease can be prevented almost completely with two doses of a safe and effective vaccine, the mmr. Our role from primary care is to achieve coverage vaccine adequate in our population (>95%), active search of ""empty"" without immunization by the associated risk, as well as diagnosis, notification, and implementation of early measures before the onset of a case.""

In New Zealand, who see the outbreak as a regional venture, he responded to the call and donated more than 640-thousand dollars (573 million euros) in order to move forward with a vaccination campaign in the islands of the South Pacific, and in Latin america. ""Prevention through vaccination is the most effective way to prevent illness and expensive medical response to an emergency,” he said in a statement, the prime minister and minister of Foreign Affairs in new zealand, Winston Peters. The campaign is directed to children under the age of five years old, and the young women and their families with the management of the funds will be the responsibility of both UNICEF and the World Health Organization. The donation to new zealand in addition to the 200 to one thousand vaccines, which were later donated to the Fiji islands, and to the funding of the emergency in the Pacific. American Samoa isn't the only one in the South Pacific region in terms of the low take-up rate of the vaccine. The state of Hawaii, the american state has similar levels, and u.s. officials fear that an outbreak from happening here. The low take-up rate for vaccinations in the state of the us is due in large part, with the exception of the requirement of vaccination due to religious reasons, as stipulated in the laws of the state.

To subscribe for x (The outbreaks of the measles are becoming more and more common all over the world, in the case of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Madagascar, and Ukraine, are to be referred to. In the past year, with 140 thousand people, most of them children under the age of five years old, died from measles in more than ten million cases, says the World Health Organization (WHO). And the figures for 2019 are even worse: WHO have registered up to November, more than three times more cases than in the same period of the previous year. One of the reasons given by him for the increase in the number of cases of diseases whose vaccines have long been developed, it is the misinformation that is circulating on social media. “The misinformation surrounding vaccination is the greatest threat to the overall health that you could roll back decades of progress in fighting preventable diseases,"" said the organisation in statement said, referring to the fact that vaccines are one of the innovations of the most powerful in the history of public health.",275,"portugal"
"5890","Giochi Preziosi is launching a doll with the measles that you care for with a sponge. An idea that is wrong, inappropriate and scientifically incorrect Four measles deaths in 2017, three from January to this part. The choice of giochi Preziosi to launch on the market Cicciobello Morbillino may be criticized already, with just these two numbers. We're exaggerating? Nothing at all. Indeed, we could continue. The latest victim is a 25-year-old from catania, the mother of a girl of 2 years, in full target group for the producers of games. But we would find it hard that this girl can play with a doll that has the body of the red dots to “disappear like magic if you rubbed with the towel or the cremina supplied” as it says on the website of the company. Those same “red dots” and the complications that they bring with them, have in fact a private of his mother. The choice of giochi Preziosi to launch this toy on the market, it is inappropriate, wrong and scientifically not correct. We try to explain why. It is impractical, because, as no man is an island, the same is true for companies. In this Country for almost a year we are talking not only of the obligation of vaccination, but also the safety of vaccines. And if it is true that there is a group, fortunately a minority, of NoVax with whom there is no discussion, there is also a share of parent has, legitimately and understandably, doubts. Mothers and fathers, to which answers are due, as it is a sensitive issue as the health of their children. Put on the market Cicciobello Morbillino mean to trivialize all of this. It is how to approach two people who are playing an intense game of chess and throw all the pieces on the ground. Above all, means to transmit the message not only that the company is outside of the reality of the Country, but also considered a doll, nothing more than a doll. And here we come to the second point. That is, the fact that this move of giochi Preziosi is wrong. Is this, in fact, because it underlies the idea that a game is simply a game. For a child, however, any activity involving the discovery of the world. And increases the knowledge on their part. We are saying that we must condemn our children only to the games boring, but instructive? On the contrary. Just make them fun and educational at the same time. To those who think that it is impossible, we recommend a cartoon that those who, like the writer, have a son or a daughter in school age child will know well. This is Blaze and Mega machines. A carton which, in addition to amuse the little ones (here, we confirm this by direct experience), and to teach values such as friendship and solidarity, makes known to the children, even the scientific concepts in the basic. As the speed, the acceleration, the operation of the levers. All thanks to a team of scientific advisors. The references can be found in the final song, which brings a long list of people in possession of a PhD, the highest title of study within american education, who cooperate in the implementation of the programme. Proving, in fact, that a game is not just a game. But it can teach, for example, science. And here we come to the last point. Or the fact that Cicciobello Morbillino is a doll not correct on a scientific level. Now, the seven deaths remember should be enough to explain why. But here the question is another: it might indeed seem that this is not a problem as serious as that. Yet we believe that it is. Because children learn by playing. And in this case they learn something wrong. That is, the measles are to be formed with a section of the sponge. After which, certainly, no parent will put their child in front of the reality of disease and death. But if the point is to have a doll sick children can be cured, as well as try to make every day the doctors, then it was not enough Cicciobello Bua? Is another product giochi Preziosi, so that is not to say that we have with the company tout court.",275,"italy"

More than 20 million people per year are infected. Each year, worldwide, measles causes the death of an infant every nine minutes. This is explained by the poverty prevalent in some countries, and the poor conditions of their health infrastructure. The best way to decrease the mortality related to measles : to strengthen the prevention. The WHO recommends vaccination of children with two injections. The vaccine, available since 30 years, is effective for approximately 85% of the children vaccinated and provides protection for several decades. In 2016, Doctors without borders has been able to vaccinate 869 100 people against the disease. Measles, a viral disease dangerous measles refers to a viral disease that is spread by droplets of saliva infected in suspension in the air (sneezing, coughing). It is a viral diseases the most contagious. A sick person can infect up to 18 other people (compared to 10 for mumps and 2 for Ebola). This pathology represents a major hazard in children under 5 years of age. The mortality from this disease has significantly decreased since the 80's. While the number of deaths amounted to 2.5 million by 1980, there were 89 780 deaths in 2013. But the mobilization against the disease must remain strong ! And it passes by a vaccine is enhanced.

The Lancet retracted the report in 2010 and Wakefield was struck off the medical register PA  The WHO has previously warned a rising tide of vaccine scepticism, increasingly propagated by false claims on social media, has contributed to the resurgence of measles in many areas where it was virtually eradicated.  “Spikes in case numbers have also occurred in countries with high overall vaccination coverage, including the United States of America as well as Israel, Thailand, and Tunisia, as the disease has spread fast among clusters of unvaccinated people,” the WHO added.  The disease is one of the most contagious in the world, and caused close to 110,000 deaths in 2017.  Even in high-income countries around a quarter of cases end up in hospital because of complications, which can cause life-long disability, brain damage, deafness and blindness.  The failure to adequately fund vaccination programmes and health awareness schemes in developing countries is another major driver of outbreaks.  There have been more than 115,000 cases – and 1,200 deaths – in Madagascar since September, sparking an emergency vaccination programme which aimed to reach 7 million children under the age of nine.

Measles is almost entirely preventable with two vaccination doses, but global coverage has stalled.

"5887","Lombardy is today in the fifth place for the number of people affected by measles, a disease which today is often underestimated. Unfortunately, there is a decrease of vaccinations in the whole of Italy, the vaccination should cover more than 95% of the children, the only way to protect all the subjects including those immunocompromised. The attention is high these days, after the peak of cases, the coverage of the vaccines is not complete. This is demonstrated by the tragedy of the child profile similar to leukemia 6 years that died at the San Gerardo hospital for complications from measles. “If there were people, especially children, who for medical reasons or other contraindications, they can not be vaccinated, here is that a valid immunity of the flock, protecting them as well. Also these children have the right to be protected and it will be if those around them are vaccinated, ” says a release from the line of the Order of doctors of Monza and Brianza. Remember that in Brianza in the first four months of the year were recorded 126 cases of measles. “Well 117 of the sick had not been vaccinated against the measles, in line with the national data that shows about 90% of non-vaccinated, compared to the total of the sick, for the current year,” explains the Department of Hygiene and health prevention of Ats Brianza. In the same period of the previous year, the cases were much lower, only 11 in fact, (13 in 2015 and 18, 2014). A similar peak was recorded in the last 15 years, the only episode that approaches the numbers of cases this year is 2002, where the disease was diagnosed in 109 patients. Measles has hit 6 people, in Lecco, 29 in Monza and 91 in the vimercate area, occurring in subjects of all ages, with a range that goes from 9 months to 54 years. The greatest concentration of cases occurred in children end 0-4 years and young adults in the range 30-34 years. Of the 126 cases of the disease reported to date, 64 are grouped in foci within the family and in the workplace. Some of them have been reported complications in pneumonia, hepatitis, otitis, and stomatitis, only for 23 of the patients required hospitalization, while the other 13 is enough only access to the emergency room. Vaccination post-exposure may not prevent disease, but also helps to prevent possible complications. “In conclusion, the data collected at the local level confirm the persistence of the circulation of the measles virus, due to the failure to reach vaccine coverage of at least 95% of children up to 24 months of age, indicated by the experts as a minimum threshold to stop the circulation of the virus in the population. We know that this figure is linked substantially to the growing number of parents who refuse the vaccination practice, despite scientific evidence established on the positive value of vaccinations and their safety. To enhance the information and facilitate the conscious acceptance on the part of the parents, in collaboration with the Pediatricians of the Family, are in place at regional level monitoring of coverage and strengthening of the proposed vaccination in pediatric age”. said the Dr. ssa De Grada of the Ats.",273,"italy"

Open up the sky. The toy has raised the indignation, first of all, the virologist Roberto Burioni, always engaged against the face of far more serious and insidious of the ""No vax"": ""we look forward to the Cicciobello Linfomino - wrote-on Twitter - and also Meningitino. I wonder who are these genes that trivialize serious illness without respect for the sick and for their family members. And to think that I take it with the antivaccinisti"". Words that have raised a heated debate on social, as with so many other questions every day. The wheel, however, came a rejection - awesome to the hardness of the tones and to the importance of the institutional role played by the president of the Institute of health, Walter Ricciardi: ""It conveys an idea that leads to a trivialization and underestimation of a disease that, like all viral diseases, is very insidious"". According to Ricciardi ""connect a disease like measles to something playful - said Ricciardi - is misleading. You run the risk of inducing people to worry more of the vaccine, which is safe, that the disease, which, however, is not absolutely trivial"". A step-by doll (faux) to the vaccine (true), difficult to understand for children between 4 and 6 years old, which Cicciobello is intended. The national Institute of health: ""Withdraw immediately"" Ricciardi recalled what happened in the last year, with the epidemic of measles, and more than 5 thousand cases in 2017, stressing that thanks to the vaccination has ""reduced the number of cases"" but that ""only in 2018, have already registered two deaths"". All true, and dramatic. Here, however, a further attack on the toy: ""it Is to blame this commercial approach that makes taking such risks. With the disease not to play: it would be good for the company to manifest sensitivity to criticism withdrawing the product. Cicciobello Morbillino is a commercial gimmick out of place from the point of view of public health. Considering the pathology profile and playful, you run the risk of underestimate the aspects which are insidious and dangerous.

"17113","In 2018, it was reported 350,000 cases of the disease worldwide. There are more than twice as many compared with the year 2017. The disease is one of the most contagious that is. It is spread through the air, and run the risk of killing a child who is undernourished, ill, or too young for vaccination. Since there is no direct treatment for the disease, it is vitally important that children get vaccinated. On the basis of the crises and conflicts in many parts of the world, the number of vaccinated children has declined over the past few years, which has resulted in a series of mässlingsutbrott. A lot of parents do not have the option to vaccinate their children due to inadequate health care, high taxes, and lack of information. The children are Unicef's efforts to increase immunity are key. Please HELP US TO ERADICATE the DISEASE Mubashir, nine months, will be vaccinated against measles in Kabul, Afghanistan. The number of cases of measles has increased in many high - and middle-income countries. In line with that of distrust of vaccine increases, so does the number of mässlingsfall. This means that the positive trend we have seen since the year 2000 has come to an end. In the 2010s, we have a number of major mässlingsutbrott made in Europe, for example, in France and in Romania, with tens of thousands of cases. Almost all cases of the disease are preventable, yet affected babies, even in places where there isn't any excuse for it. The disease may be a disease, but all too often it's false information and mistrust, which are the most dangerous. More needs to be done in order that the parents will have accurate information, so that we can protect every child, every child in the world access to vaccines is not just in the interests of low-income countries, but also for the whole world. Also, many of the most dangerous childhood illnesses of many years, has been extinct in this part of the world, this does not mean that we are immune from the disease. Diseases can spread easily across national boundaries, and if they are not dealt with, the epidemics will break out. So, by vaccinating others, we protect ourselves. UNICEF is the world's largest buyer of the mässlingsvaccin. We have the vaccinated children for more than 45 years of age and has, in close co-operation with the researcher, and the vaccinexperter, have collected an enormous amount of knowledge and experience of how a vaccine works. Vaccination is one of the most effective ways to protect children from serious diseases. Few of the other health measures have had a major impact in reducing the mortality rate among children. However, in order to be able to protect all the children against measles is a need for more resources.

Every five minutes a child dies of the measles, and the number of mässlingsfall has doubled between the years of 2017 and 2018 at the latest. The disease is one of the most contagious, which is available and run the risk of killing a child who is undernourished, ill, or too young for vaccination. On the basis of the crises and conflicts in many parts of the world, the number of vaccinated children has declined over the past few years, which has resulted in a series of mässlingsutbrott. In many high - and middle-income countries, is the resistance to vaccines is a growing concern. This has resulted in several large-scale mässlingsutbrott as well. It is important that parents have accurate information about vaccines so that all children are given the fundamental protection against this dangerous disease. Read more on the Folkhälsomyndighetens web-site. Can mässlingsvaccin the cause of a serious disease or autism? At the beginning of the year 2000 saw the publication of a controversial article in a scientific journal, which indicated a link between the mässlingsvaccin, and autism. However, on the basis of the alleged research misconduct took the journal back to article. Research in several different countries, and have come to the conclusion that there is no connection between the mässlingsvaccin, and bowel disease (ibd), with subsequent autism (1). Many people got narcolepsy, the vaccine against the ""swine flu"", how do you know that the mässlingsvaccin is safe? All the vaccines from UNICEF, have been recommended by the world health organization (WHO), and has gone through rigorous quality control. Mässlingsvaccinet is a very well proven and has been in use since 1963, with good results. Before that occurred, the great mässlingsutbrott a regular basis, and caused approximately 2.6 million deaths every year. 1), the Swedish medical products agency",272,"sweden"

He says the president of the Italian Society of pediatrics (Sip), Alberto Villani: ""it Is unacceptable. Vaccination among physicians is essential to protect those patients that, due to their fragile condition are more at risk of being infected by the very ones who have them in care. The low vaccination coverage among health-care workers are a problem.

"5893","To cope with the epidemic of measles which is raging in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), MSF has vaccinated over one million children through vaccination campaign lasting nine months, in support of the Ministry of Health. By November 2016, teams from MSF have also cared for more than 41,000 children affected by the disease in the provinces of Maniema, Lomami, Tanganyika, Ituri, South Kivu and Equateur. Measles is a highly contagious disease and is transmitted by air from person to person through sneezing and coughing. It mostly affects children under the age of five years and can be deadly in the event of complications and in the absence of adequate treatment. To ensure that the vaccine is effective and prevents recurrence of continuous epidemics, 95% of children between the ages of six months and 15 years of age must be vaccinated. In a large country like the DRC, where the roads are often bumpy or non-existent and travel can be hindered by insecurity, a relevant series of logistical constraints impede the attainment of children in some areas particularly remote. The team of MSF move the bikes and walk along narrow paths in the forest to reach the most remote areas. ""With my team we wanted to reach a particular area of the province of Equateur, about 20 kilometres from Bolomba,"" says Faustin Igulu, head of health promotion of the MSF. ""Since there are no roads, we used the motorcycles. To cross rivers, we had to lift the bikes, coolers containing the vaccines and all the rest of the necessary equipment on wooden tables. When the trails became too narrow, we left the bikes and walked for hours through the forest"". Despite the difficulties, the team of MSF are determined to reach the most remote areas to try to take care of the children, a particularly vulnerable category because of the scarcity of health care and the inability of families to pay for treatment. ""All these efforts are necessary,"" says Igulu of the MSF. ""The long distances to reach health facilities, lack of economic resources to afford the therapies, the use of traditional remedies are factors of risk that affect the health of the children in these areas. That's why we do everything that we can to reach villages and settlements more remote, where children would not otherwise have access to health services or to vaccines"". Children who live in remote areas and are suffering from measles with complications are at risk of not receiving any treatment, or of coming to the health center when it is already too late, seriously endangering their lives. ""Many children that we have cared for have arrived in serious condition at the hospital because of the difficulty of reaching healthcare services,"" said Igulu. Despite the number of children already vaccinated, MSF continues to work to stop the epidemic. Currently, teams from MSF are vaccinating children against measles and provide free treatment for the measles in the provinces of Tshopo and South Kivu. MSF calls on the Ministry of Health, international organizations and donors to increase rapidly and substantially their response to the many outbreaks of measles occurring across the country.",272,"italy"

"442","Bad news for measles in Belgium. This disease, against which there is a vaccine, again this year a breakthrough in the country, and this in spite of a national action plan for its elimination by 2020... ""In 2017, 367 cases of measles had been reported in Belgium,"" says Dr. Monalisa Zampieri (ULB/Saint-Pierre Hospital, Brussels). ""In 2018, this figure had fallen to 117 cases. But for the first nine months of 2019, we are already in 397 cases,"" says the doctor, who comes to dedicate his memory to the end of the specialization in pediatrics at the study of the situation of this disease in Belgium. ""Belgium is so far from achieving the objectives of the WHO (world health Organization) for the elimination of measles. Goals that are of less than one case per million people"", stated this week at a seminar on infectious diseases at the hôpital Saint-Pierre. ""However, the belgian national action plan for measles elimination, renewed in 2016, aims to rid the country of this disease as early as 2020..."" The figures do not plead, therefore, not in favour of this plan. In case, a problem of the rate of vaccination of the population is too low in Belgium. What could be worth in the realm of losing its status of ""countries in transition"" towards the elimination of measles. An enviable status that had been conferred on the WHO by 2018. Goal: 95% immunization rates, ""Despite the routine immunization and free for two doses of MMR vaccine (combined measles, rubella and mumps) since 1995, epidemics of measles still occur regularly on the belgian territory,"" notes Ms. Zampieri. It identifies two causes of these epidemics: the high rate of contagiousness of the virus, but vaccination coverage is too low. 397 in the first nine months of 2019, there were 397 cases of measles in Belgium, compared to 117 over the whole of 2018. ""For measles, it should ideally reach a vaccination rate of the population of 95%"", said Dr. Nicolas Dauby, of the Institute for medical immunology and the School of public health of the ULB. ""With such a low rate of immunization coverage, we can limit the transmission of the disease. This is what is called group immunity. The virus does not circulate"". ""In Belgium, it is below this standard. It is Flanders which is the best student of the class, with a coverage rate of 93.4%. In Brussels, this rate drops to 76,4%, and in Wallonia, it only rises to 70.1 per cent (figures for 2017),"" said Dr. Zampieri. See our folder The grand return of the measles, what is it that explains these differences of numbers between the different Regions of the country? ""For Wallonia, it could be a kind of ‘contagion’ of the movement antivaccins that we observe in France,"" says the pediatrician. ""To combat this phenomenon, the ball is in the camp of the doctors and health staff. Up to them to inform them as fully as in an honest and accessible manner on the attractions, limitations, and challenges of vaccination,"" she said. ""If the mortality rate related to complications is, in the developed countries, very low, societal impact and economic of these outbreaks of measles, against which there are, however, vaccine is not to be ignored"", recalls his side Dr. Nicolas Dauby. And he takes as an example the case of an epidemic, always of measles, which occurred in Italy in 2002-2003. ""This study shows that approximately 5,000 hospitalizations due to this epidemic had cost the social Security Italian between 17 and 22 million euros.

"2262","The measles outbreak in Europe is worrying the WHO : how to identify and combat this contagious disease DANGEROUS VIRUS - The world health Organization warning on Thursday about the return of measles in Europe. It calls for stepping up the vaccination to combat this highly contagious disease. The world health Organization is sounding the alarm. Europe is experiencing a surge in measles cases, she expressed concern Thursday, calling on them to intensify the vaccination stressing that this disease has emerged in the four countries where it was considered to be eliminated : the United Kingdom, Greece, the Czech Republic and Albania. In total, the WHO reported 89.994 cases reported in 48 european countries in the first half of 2019, more than double compared to the same period of last year (44.175), and already more than for the entire year 2018 (84.462). In France, the disease, endemic, caused a lot of talk about it these last few months. Last may, an epidemic was declared in New Aquitaine, after the ham fair in Bayonne. The region of Auvergne, the Rhone-Alpes region has also experienced a significant increase in the number of cases since the beginning of the year. The regional Agency of health (ARS) has mentioned ten-eight cases that occurred in the ski resort of Val Thorens (Savoie). In an epidemiological bulletin devoted to the measles in early February, the agency of public Health of France reported an outbreak of the disease in the country since the end of 2017. And remember that a French family, two parents and their 5 year old son, was placed in isolation in Costa Rica last February after the little boy, who had not been vaccinated against measles according to local authorities, presented a few hours after their landing in the country the symptoms of the disease. A contagious disease that must be fought through vaccination of the greatest number of measles is a highly contagious disease. An infected person can infect fifteen to twenty individuals, compared to three for a person with the flu. In effect, the transmission of the virus is done without physical contact, by the airborne route (such as secretions from the nose or mouth), or directly from a sick person, or indirectly because of contact with a contaminated surface or because of the persistence of the virus in the air. The only way to combat this disease, the vaccine. It is well tolerated, effective, and supported 100% by health Insurance up to age 17 (65% above). It consists of two doses, the first at 12 months and the other between 16 and 18 months. In France, in 2007, only 90.1% of children 2 years of age were vaccinated. According to the WHO, however, would require that at least 95% of the population is vaccinated in order to eradicate the virus. A catch-up vaccination is recommended for all people born since 1980 who have not been vaccinated and have never had the measles. This would protect them all their life against the virus. The possible complications after the symptoms If the vaccination is so important, is that measles is not just fever, cough, runny nose, eyes red, eyelids swollen, tearing, fatigue and the appearance of small red spots all over the body. It is a disease that can be severe and can lead to complications that require hospitalization. A few examples : <U+21D2> a bronchopneumonia with severe breathlessness, <U+21D2> encephalitis , that is inflammation of the brain, in one case in a thousand, which can lead to a death and in 30% of cases of serious irreversible, like a paralysis, or of epilepsy, <U+21D2> conjunctivitis progressing to keratitis (disorder of the eye) and the loss of sight. Not only the children And the children are not the only ones concerned : measles can occur at any age, if one has not been vaccinated or where one has not already contracted the virus. Thus, half of the reported cases in 2010 was more than 15 years, with a proportion of hospitalization by 45% in the 20-29 age group. It is within this age group that the serious consequences are the most frequent, by the sides of the infants under 12 months, pregnant women and people with impaired immune defenses. The epidemiologist Isabelle Parent du Châtelet, Institut de veille sanitaire, recalls on the site InfoRougeole that these cases would be preventable, ""if we systematically carried out a catch-up vaccination of adolescents and young adults"".",270,"france"

People who have recently travelled, or are planning to travel to Romania, Italy and Germany and have not had 2 doses of the MMR vaccine are particularly at risk.

Measles in Ireland  In recent weeks, concerns have been raised about the possibility of Ireland losing its measles-free status given the recent spike in cases here.  The United Kingdom has lost its measles-free status and, following a drop in vaccine uptake rates, there are fears Ireland could end up in the same position.  Three years after eliminating the disease, the UK has been stripped of its measles-free status by the World Health Organization.  The WHO defines measles elimination as the absence of the illness circulating, high vaccine coverage, and a robust process to identify cases.  In the first quarter of 2019, there were 231 confirmed cases of measles in England and Wales. There were 991 confirmed cases last year, a jump from 284 cases in 2017. Most cases are linked to travel in Europe, where many countries have experienced measles outbreaks.  Ireland has also seen an increase in cases in recent years. The number of cases here tripled from 25 in 2017 to 77 in 2018.  There have been 56 reported cases to date in 2019 – 33 of which have been confirmed.  Most cases in Ireland to date this year were among children, however there were 17 cases among people aged 20-44. Thirty-one cases involved males and 25 cases related to females.  In Ireland, all children are entitled to, and advised to, get the MMR vaccine at the age of 12 months. They are supposed to get a second dose when four or five (in junior infants). Adults who are not sure if they received the vaccine as a child are advised to contact their GP to check and discuss getting a booster if needed.  The uptake rate for the MMR vaccine in Ireland is 90.1% – below the HSE’s goal of 95%, the level needed for herd immunity.  A Unicef report released earlier this year noted that 98 countries around the world reported an increase in measles cases in 2018. The WHO said cases worldwide soared by nearly 50% in 2018, killing around 136,000 people. There were at least 72 measles-related deaths in Europe in 2018, up from 42 in 2017, but none in Ireland.

The Department of Health gives the following advice in relation to the MMR vaccine:  All children should get the MMR vaccine when they are aged 12 months; if any child aged over 12 months has missed this vaccine they should get it now from their GP  All children should get a second dose of MMR vaccine when they are four to five years old or in junior infants at school; if any child in senior infants or older has missed this vaccine they should get it now from their GP  Adults under 40 years who have not had measles or have not received two doses of MMR vaccine should contact their GP to get the MMR vaccine  Adults over 40 years of age may sometimes be at risk and if such adults never had measles nor a measles-containing vaccine they should consider getting the MMR vaccine from their GP  What advice does the HSE give to people who think they might have measles?

Responsible for the infection, the measles virus does not cause symptoms (fever, rhinitis, cough, rash...), it also causes a sort of amnesia of the immune system : antibodies already created that are mobilizing in a new infection disappear in great part. The immune system must relearn how to protect the body against infections. ""The powerful activation of the immune system by measles leads to immunity for life against this disease but, at the same time, a profound immunosuppression,"" noted Velislava Petrova (Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, Cambridge, Uk) and colleagues in an article published Thursday, October 31, in the Science of Immunology.

So it was 2018 the WHO estimated that around 16,000 measles Deaths more than in 2017. Especially in the Congo, the measles spread in many places.

Yesterday during an interview on The Air that Pulls the minister is back to talk about compulsory vaccinations, explaining, or better to say, continuing to fuel the confusion, the line of the executive. After the obligation is flexible, comes the obligation of the intelligent, The minister who coined the term obligation, flexible, has declared that ""the instrument of the obligation has to be used intelligently, of course, forcing citizens to be vaccinated only when it is necessary. Of course, you have the obligation measles, unlike other diseases for which it is sufficient as it happens in other Countries. I think, for example, of chromium"". Again the strategy of the Movement seems to be based on the basis of the maximum “a blow to the circle and a shot in the barrel”. In this case, the Grillo gives a sop to the so-called pro-vax, saying that he will not take away the obligation of vaccination for measles. And at the same time reassures free/no/boh vax saying that for the hexavalent chromium (the vaccine against polio, diphtheria, tetanus, hepatitis B, pertussis and haemophilus influenza B) can be simply recommended. We are again on the line of Matteo Salvini, which had said that “ten vaccines are too many.” More than a step backwards with respect to the law Lorenzin, to which the Movement is opposite during the last parliament, it seems a step back compared to the law that was in effect previously. The status quo, which according to the DDL for the Tavern (the counter-proposal of the Motion on vaccines) would have to be restored with the birth of a executive 5-Star. The proposal of the Tavern was back to the four compulsory vaccinations (polio, tetanus, hepatitis B and diphtheria), which were administered through the chromium. Own against the chromium was fought, an old battle no-vax, because according to some it is forcing the parents to do the two vaccines in most of the mandatory ones. In addition, the chromium is finished on the bench of the accused because of the presence of heavy metal detected in the study of the scientists close to the free-vax Stefano Montanari and Antonietta Gatti. According to the study, the Codacons, has filed a complaint to the public Prosecutor of Turin, and experts have said that there is no risk to health due to the alleged “contamination”. What to do with the M5S on vaccines? At the same time, you do not understand what you want to do, the minister who reiterated precisely the legal situation prior to the 118/2017 ""On those other vaccines, also be required before the decree Lorenzin, but 'light' it is possible, according to us, it is possible to return to a pre-Lorenzin. While maintaining the focus on measles, which is the real problem of this Country."" What will the Ministry? Will make it compulsory for only the measles vaccine, which, however, is administered together with those against chicken pox, rubella and mumps (the so-called “quadrivalente” or MPRV)? At the moment it is given to know. And if it is true that measles is the main problem from the point of view epidemologico with regard to the diseases preventable with vaccination (tetanus remains a dangerous disease. There are about sixty a year, the cases of tetanus reported every year in Italy, with about 20 deaths. And if it is true that 80% of cases occur in people over 64 years (for women), it is precisely because children are vaccinated, and men were vaccinated during the lever). According to the ISS, the incidence of tetanus in Italy, a disease that is not possible to eradicate, is about 10 times higher than the european average and the united states. Also in regards to the hepatitis B the incidence is about 300 thousand cases each year. According to the ISS, the decrease in incidence has affected ""in particular, the subjects of age 15-24 years (likely thanks to vaccination in the twelve year old boys),"" while ""today, the persons who develop hepatitis B are primarily male (75,3%) are between 35 and 54 years (63,8%)"". Why then also delete this vaccination? The minister for Cricket has decided not to explain further if you are not appealing to the examples of other states that have a lower number of compulsory vaccinations, but there are others, such as France, that have more. According to the senator PD David Pharaoh, the President of the Italian Foundation Autism, and a member of the Health commission of Palazzo Madama, the Cricket is a ""Health minister irresponsible"". Finally, it should be noted that in the law proposal of the Movement 5 Stars laying down the Provisions relating to the prevention of vaccine where it speaks of “duty flexible” is not specified what are the vaccines required and recommended. The law, however, does not propose to repeal the compulsory vaccinations, “ante law Lorenzin” (i.e. the four mentioned above) but is to be repealed only to the paragraphs of the laws that the establishing involving a sanction against parents and guardians who do not vaccinate their children.

"21215","Several measles outbreaks are ongoing in Europe and until the disease is eradicated worldwide, cross-border transmission between countries is possible and will likely continue to occur.  The President of the Italian National Health Institute, Walter Ricciardi, and the Director of PHE , Duncan Selbie, have stressed that measles elimination in Europe is an objective that needs to be vigorously pursued.  Measles can cause severe complications including encephalitis, pneumonia and even death, and is now a target for elimination in all World Health Organization ( WHO ) regions.  The European Region adopted the goal of eliminating measles in the entire Region by 2015 but this objective was not met. According to WHO data, in 2017, 22,373 measles cases were reported in the region, including 35 deaths.  Measles outbreaks are still occurring in a number of European countries, including Ukraine, Serbia, Russia, Albania, Italy, France, Greece and UK and in total, 21,478 cases have been reported to date since January 2018.  In Italy, 5,400 cases were reported in 2017 and 1,716 cases between 1 January 2018 and 31 May 2018. Most cases occurred in young adults but the highest incidence was seen in infants under one year of age. In total 8 measles-related deaths have been reported in Italy since January 2017.  Duncan Selbie, Chief Executive of PHE , said:  Until measles is eliminated from all WHO regions, cross-border transmission of cases is likely to occur when unvaccinated individuals travel to countries where measles is circulating, become infected and travel back to their home country – thus importing the measles virus.  Professor Walter Ricciardi, President of the Italian National Health Institute said:  Recently, some measles clusters in England have been linked to importations from Europe. Since 2017, 7 measles cases have been imported into England from Italy (3 in 2017 and 4 in 2018). Importations from the UK to Italy have also occurred: since January 2018, 4 measles cases in Italy have been imported from the UK, leading to 2 small measles clusters.  The only effective way to protect yourself and your community against measles is by vaccination. This is because measles is one of the most infectious diseases known to man – it spreads easily through direct contact and droplets in the air. The measles virus survives up to 2 hours in the air or surfaces, even after an infected person has left the area.  Cases of measles are most infectious in the first 3 days before the onset of rash, so infection can be spread before anyone suspects the case.  Raising awareness of measles circulation in many European countries is important to encourage the public to check their vaccination status before travelling abroad. The European Centre for Disease Control, the Royal College of GPs and the Royal College of Nurses have also recently reminded people to check their MMR status before travelling.  Two doses of measles-containing vaccine are nearly 100% effective in preventing the disease. Achieving high vaccine coverage (over 95%) will help to protect the whole community, including babies vulnerable children who cannot be vaccinated, by reducing the risk of measles spreading in the population.",259,"uk"
"511","In the first nine months of the year, 397 cases of measles have been identified in Belgium, compared to 117 over the entire 2018, reports Friday's Echo. In mid-August, the world Health Organization (WHO) announced that in the first half of 2019, the cases of measles around the world had tripled compared to the same period in 2018. In the aftermath, the report of the research Institute of public health (Sciensano) showed that Belgium was not spared by this increase, especially in Wallonia and in the Brussels-Capital region. Between January and June this year, 357 cases of measles had been identified in Belgium, compared to 117 in 2018. Bad student, Belgium was well above the general trend, which has more than tripled since last year. In fact, there has been a steady increase since 2016, after a record high between February and march 2017. It is therefore no great surprise, unfortunately, that the latest figures relayed, Friday, by our colleagues from The Echo will not confirm or even aggravate the current trend.

""Belgium is so far from achieving the objectives of the WHO (world health Organization) for the elimination of measles. Goals that are of less than one case per million inhabitants , indicated that the specialist, during a seminar on infectious diseases, held this week at St. Peter's hospital.

""Despite routine vaccination, free of charge for the two doses of the MMR vaccine (combined measles, rubella and mumps) since 1995, epidemics of measles still occur regularly on the belgian territory"" , is still Dr. Ms. Zampieri, identifying two causes for these epidemics: on one hand, the high rate of contagiousness of the virus, and on the other hand, immunization coverage is too low. If, in Flanders, the vaccination rate is from 93.4 % in the two other regions of the country do not shine with a rate of 76.4 % in Brussels and only 70.1 per cent in Wallonia. These figures are directly related to the number of cases reported, respectively, in each of the regions. Ideally, it would be necessary to reach a coverage rate of around 95 %, so as to limit the transmission of the disease to the fact that the virus is no longer in circulation. But it is known that the influence of the lobbies, anti-vaccine is not innocent in this phenomenon, which does not facilitate the task of the medical corps. ""If the mortality rate related to complications is, in the developed countries, very low, societal impact and economic of these outbreaks of measles, against which there are, however, vaccine is not to be overlooked,"" stresses always in the columns of The Echo Dr. Nicolas Dauby, of the infectious diseases service at the Hospital St Pierre, referring in particular to a measles outbreak occurred in Italy in 2002-2003. ""This study shows that some 5000 hospital admissions due to the epidemic had cost the social Security Italian between 17 and 22 million euros.

When the publication of his report, Sciensano recalled that if the virus is affecting primarily children, young adults - who often are not vaccinated or do not know their vaccination status, are also at risk. Recall again that in our country, the vaccination is offered to all children and youth from 12 months. It is conveniently in 2 doses, first at 12 months and a second between seven and nine years.

There is a measles vaccine, but vaccination rates around the world have stagnated for nearly a decade. The world health organization and UNICEF estimate that in the past year, 86% of the children were given a global view of the first dose of the vaccine through routine immunization in your home country, but less than 70% had received the second recommended dose. All over the world, the coverage of vaccination against measles is not adequate to prevent flare-ups. The WHO believes that the 95% vaccination coverage with two doses of a measles containing vaccine is required within each country and across all communities, in order to protect people from the disease. It is estimated that the total number of cases and deaths from around the world and the region, the report notes that the worst of the impact of measles have occurred in sub-Saharan Africa, where many children go without immunization on a sustained basis. In the year 2018, the countries most affected with the highest incidence of the disease was in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Liberia, Madagascar, Somalia, and Ukraine. These five countries accounted for almost half of all cases of measles in the world. We are a safe and effective vaccine for polio more than 50 years ago,"" said Robert Linkins, chief of the department of disease control, and surveillance of diseases preventable by vaccines, the CDC and the president's Initiative against Measles and Rubella. These estimates are a reminder that all children, everywhere, need and deserve - this is a vaccine that can save lives. We need to change this trend and to stop these preventable deaths by improving access to and coverage of vaccination against measles,” he said. Although the largest effects have been reported in the world's poorest countries, some rich countries also have to fight outbreaks of measles, with the ramifications of that are significant to the health of the people. This year, the United States has had the highest number of cases in the last 25 years, while the four european countries - Albania, Czech Republic, germany, Greece and the United Kingdom lost the status of a deletion in the mva in the year 2018, after a prolonged outbreak of the disease.

The Departments of Public Health have been notified of 7 confirmed cases of measles affecting Dublin and Meath, with most of these cases in Dublin City.  The HSE have said that they're aware that a number of people have presented themselves to GPs in Dublin and Meath as well as some paediatric emergency departments with the cases.  As a result of this, there is an increased risk of exposure to measles among people who attended such healthcare services from Thursday, October 19, 2017, onwards.  They confirmed the Measles Outbreak Control Team continues to investigate and advise on measures to control the further spread of this potentially serious illness.  People have been warned as measles is now circulating in the community, that they must be wary of the spread of the illness when groups of people gather.  Measles is highly contagious and is spread easily. The time between exposure to measles and developing the rash is usually 14 days (range 7-21 days). People are infectious from 4 days before rash starts until 4 days after.  Measles symptoms include high fever, cough, runny nose, red eyes , red rash that starts on head and spread down the body.  Anyone who develops measles symptoms should:  Stay at home and phone your GP  Tell the doctor or nurse that you think you might have measles  Stop visitors coming to the house to prevent spreading the infection",256,"ireland"

"5916","Vaccinations 10/04/2019 of Corvelva In 1963 were licensed the first two vaccines against measles, both of which contain the strain Edmonston B, isolated by John Enders in 1954, specifically the Rubeovax, a vaccine virus, live attenuated, produced by Merck, and Pfizer-Vax Measles-K, a vaccine to inactivated virus, produced precisely by Pfizer (1). At the time of its approval, a single dose of Rubeovax was unable to prevent the measles to 95%, and the coverage lasted for at least 3 years and 8 months. However, from 30% to 40% of the children to whom he was inoculated, showed fever above 39° C, starting from the sixth day after vaccination with a duration from 2 to 5 days and from 30% to 60% they also developed ""a rash with measles modified"" (modified measles rash) (2) and, due to the high number of side effects, the public health officials and those of Merck, recommended that then the Rubeovax and the immunoglobulin measles co-administration, to significantly reduce adverse drug reactions (3-4). The vaccine Pfizer-Vax Measles-K, instead, was administered in 3 doses at intervals of one month the one from the other, and caused much less adverse reactions, however, offered a limited efficacy against the disease. The majority of children who had received the vaccine, in fact, had no detectable levels of antibodies (5). In 1965, finally began to appear reports of a new and atypical disease similar to measles which struck children previously vaccinated with the serum and exposed to the virus, whose symptoms included rash, swelling, fever, pneumonia, and pleural effusion (6) and, as a result of this, the vaccine was withdrawn from the market in 1968 (7). Prior to 1963, just to counteract the highly reactive, Enders made available the strain Edmonston so as to enable other researchers to work encouraging them to mitigate further the virus (8). Appeared in the 1963 other vaccines anti-measles that used the strain of Edmonston B among the M-Vac, manufactured by Lederle Pharmaceuticals, and other generic manufactured by various pharmaceutical companies including Parke-Davis and Eli Lilly, but, in 1975, all of those pediatric approved were suspended, and replaced with two new, more attenuated, (9) that were developed for the use in the mid - '60s because of the numerous unwanted side effects related to the previous ones. Lirugen, produced by Pitman Moore-Dow, was developed from the strain Schwarz, derived from the additional attenuation of the strain Edmonston (10) approved for use in 1965, but discontinued in the United States since 1976 (11) the period after which it remained in use only outside the United States. The Merck instead, using Moraten, receded further strain Edmonston B and in 1968, he produced ""Attenuvax"" , (12), which is currently the vaccine for the measles that is found in the trivalent (measles, mumps, and rubella) MMRII, (13) and in the quadrivalente ProQuad (14). In 1967, the public health officials reported that measles could be eradicated from the United States in a few months with the introduction and use of vaccines (15) but, the use in children from about one year of age and the boost in vaccinated with a dose of all that went to the school, not portarino the effects so much praised, and continued to occur in epidemics, their populations highly vaccinated (16-17). In 1971, the same officials noticed that outbreaks were on the rise, blaming the non-vaccinated population, and the lack of laws that require vaccination as a requirement for access to schools. They recognized the failure, but they blamed several factors, including the precocity of vaccination before 9 months of age, the use of measles, gamma-globulin, the handling and the improper storage of the vaccine, and only to the 3-5% failure of vaccination. The goal of the eradication of measles in the United States was no longer considered as something that could be achieved quickly, and perhaps, after all, it wasn't really feasible. In the '70s and '80s, outbreaks continued to occur, affecting mainly preschool children and school children (19). In 1979, he attempted a further effort to eradicate through vaccination, who should give the results hoped for by October 1, 1982 (20). In 1982, the record number of cases was 1.697, while the public health officials claimed publicly that the eradication was ""around the corner"". (22) The cases fell again, to 1,497 in 1983, but rose again to 2.534, reported in 1984 (23). In 1985, he came 2.813, with 44% occurring in children precedentementre and adequately vaccinated (24). In 1989 there was another shot, and towards the end of the year, the reported cases were 18.193, (25) with more than 40% in people fully vaccinated (26). The CDC tied in this case the outbreak to the failure of vaccination and the non-implementation of vaccination programmes, in particular those addressed to children of preschool age, but continued to report a rate of efficacy of the vaccine against measles to 95%, denying also that the induced immunity the same declining trend. In 1989, finally, the advisory committee for immunization (ACIP) of the CDC updated its recommendations suggesting that all children receive 2 doses of the vaccine MPR before the entrance in the school, with the first 15 months and the second aged 4 to 6 years, before kindergarten, and elementary school (27). Also in 1989, the CDC sponsored a study that included the use of the two vaccines separated against measles, carried out on the children of minorities who lived in the Los Angeles area. One of the two used was experimental, and without a license, but this information was never communicated to the parents (28). This vaccine, high dose, was intended to overwhelm the maternal antibodies that naturally protect the children from infections during the first year of life according to the theory for which the presence of maternal antibodies at the time of vaccination may lead to the failure of vaccination and the risk of contracting the measles at a later age. The experimentation was interrupted in 1991, after which in 1990 began to appear studies that reported a higher mortality rate in females that received, omitting, however, to make public the all the way up to 1996. While the CDC claimed that no damage resulted from the use of, a child who took part in the study died due to a bacterial infection, in the opinion of their not related to vaccination (29). Only in 1998, concerns about the safety of the vaccine, combined measles-mumps-rubella emerged, following a study performed on 12 children (previously healthy) that manifested severe gastrointestinal disorders after vaccination with the MMR (30), and 8 of them they also developed the autism spectrum disorder, parents and physicians reported that the symptoms began immediately after receiving the first dose. In addition, the 13 doctors involved in the study reported that they had investigated in addition to more than 40 similar cases. Although these researchers were not claiming that the MMR vaccine was responsible for the health problems reported, but still to be done adequate research on the topic (31). Following the publication, the scientists involved in the study, including lead author Dr. Andrew Wakefield, were the subject of a huge commitment on the part of public health officials and the heads of the vaccinations, in an attempt to screditarne the results (32). Towards the end of the years 2000, Wakefield and the two researchers who contributed, Dr. John Walker-Smith and Dr. Simon Murch, became the recipient of the disciplinary action of the General Medical Council (GMC) of the United Kingdom, under the allegations of misconduct in the association study. In may 2010, Wakefield and Walker-Smith, were struck off and lost their medical license after having been convicted of (33). Walker-Smith went immediately appeal against the verdict, and in 2012 a United Kingdom court cancelled the decision. The judge criticised the disciplinary committee, the GMC, stating that ""it Would be a misfortune if this were to happen again"" (34). Following the publication of the case of the controversial study of Wakefield then, numerous independent researchers answered the results (35) but, despite this further in the scientific literature, he continues to be demonized by the press and by the medical community (36-37). In August 2014, William Thompson, a senior scientist at the CDC, came forward stating that researchers from the same council omitted intentionally data that would show a link between the vaccine MMR and autism among young african americans (38). According to Thompson, in fact, the researchers involved in the 2004 study came even to destroy data evidencing the findings. After these allegations came to light, the senator of Florida Bill Posey, called for an investigation of the scientists involved, just to determine if it had been actually committed a fraud in the attempt to cover this bond (39). The concealment of the link to autism and vaccine MPR on the part of the CDC, became the subject of the film “Vaxxed: From Cover-Up to Catastrophe”, a documentary whose debut was planned at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York City in April of 2016, but that after a series of attacks in the media, it was withdrawn, (40-41) and debuted instead at the Angelika Film Center in Manhattan in April of 2016. (42) To date, government officials have yet to investigate the allegations presented by Thompson against his fellow scientists at the CDC. In January 2015, the CDC had to investigate an outbreak of measles at Disneyland in California. In a statement released on 23 January 2015, announced that the 51 confirmed cases were linked to the event, thereby encouraging prevention through vaccination (43). All of this sparked the media frenzy and began to appear hundreds of news of outbreaks of measles, resulting in a large number of complaints of defamation by the parents of children not vaccinated. (44) as A result of these events, various state legislators moved to introduce laws aimed to eliminate or limit the pre-existing exemptions for religious reasons and ethical. The supporters of the freedom of choice was a huge success in defeating many of these restrictive measures, however, in California and Vermont (which has kept only the exemption for religious reasons) were still issued. (45) In 2015, only 188 cases were reported in the United States, (46) 147 of which is connected to the epidemic in California (47) and a drop of 72% compared to the previous year (48). Currently, the advisory committee of the CDC, on the practices of immunization continues to express itself by recommending that all children receive 2 doses of the vaccine MPR, with the first dose given between 12 and 15 months of age and the second administered between 4 and 6 years of age (49).

There were 4 cases of measles in the Loire since January and 1 in Haute-Loire. However, we note an increase of 2.2 percentage points from the use of the MMR vaccine (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) for children from 1 years of age who received a first dose from the obligation for children born after January 2018 to be vaccinated (11 mandatory vaccinations). read also In the Loire valley, a dozen cases of measles recorded in recent weeks Among the 4 cases in the Loire since the beginning of the year, that of a mother of thirty years which has declared a sepsis at the university hospital of Saint-Etienne because of his measles.

On one side, civilization gives everyone the knowledge by the one click access the best scholars and the other spreading the delirium, the complotisme, fears, frantic, and a growing percentage of individuals is a follower of magical thinking and tempted by the no matter what. No matter what policy we know, anything economic is known as, but also anything scientific to the more serious consequences. Internet, as a tool of reason, has changed sides to that of the unreason with consequences that have become a threat to humanity. Vaccine safe And well first, the health. The world health Organization (WHO) is alarmed at the increase of measles cases by 300% worldwide in the first quarter of 2019 compared to last year and 700 % in Africa. We identified almost 700 cases of measles in the United States since 2000. In France, there would have been 23 deaths between 2008 and 2018, according to a study of Inserm. The measles vaccine has existed for half a century, it is safe, safe and not expensive. However, the disease has killed further 135,000 people in 2018 in the world, the majority of children under 5 years of age. WHO has decreed this week, from 24 to 30 April, Week of the vaccination, as it has done annually since 2005 to raise the awareness of governments and populations. The rate of people vaccinated against measles (two injections) must reach 95 % in order for the virus to be blocked in its spread and regresses. We are not at the global level means that 85 %.. no One earns more on the diseases. Epidemics increase and strengthen in severity. The WHO the explained by the persistence of areas of low vaccination in Africa, and, again, by a relaxation of vigilance against the disease in developed countries and by the dissemination of false information about vaccines. Barrage activist In France, nearly one person in two would express a distrust of vaccines, a minimum of hesitation. They are susceptible to the barrage of militant anti-vaccinalistes virulent that never cease to win the ideological battlefield. Everything serves the cause : the scandals of medical (contaminated blood) demonstrating an alleged corruption in ministries, by the lobbyists of pharmaceutical, pseudo-studies on side effects that would be "" worse than evil "", the alleged toxicity of adjuvants (such as aluminium). In short, ""you are being lied to"" and you are being lied to knowingly. The government, doctors, and tutti quanti do not want to earn money with your health. These allegations are unfounded, the vaccine is a huge medical progress, all the scientific studies go into its meaning, no serious do not contradict. Read also : compulsory vaccination is bearing fruit Vaccination against nature, But the distrust was hanging by two threads of magic. A, "" nature "", as it is, does not lie. Childhood diseases are benign, they are only learning of the life, the vaccination is more dangerous because it is not ""natural"" (idiocy, because the ants using it). Second thread : we can't dictate to someone else to take the risk of getting the disease by vaccination or undergo complications, everyone must be free to choose the vaccine or not. This last argument does not hold since it is necessary that the entire population is vaccinated (at least 95 %) and that the ""freedom"" individual involves that of the other. But, in the 2000s, the topic has pushed the governments to up and make it simply ""incentive"" policies of certain vaccinations. The communicable diseases leave, Agnes Buzyn, minister of Health, has drawn conclusions from the resurgence of communicable diseases. On the 1st of January 2018, it has transformed eight-vaccinations ""recommended"" to ""mandatory"" including rubella, mumps, and measles. As the measure is accompanied by the prohibition of going to a nursery or a kindergarten without vaccination, activists, anti-vaccines disarm not. In Germany, the same debate, the minister of Health wanting to abandon the policy of incentives for the obligation with fine in case of non-compliance . The resurgence of measles and marks the moment of the counter-offensive public in vaccines. But the doubt remains in the minds of the people.

Therefore, you want to introduce the compulsory Vaccination. Background one of the world's measles increase in diseases. In Germany were reported in the past year 543 cases. In the first months of this year, more than 400 cases. When is the vaccination and for whom? As Of March 2020. Upon admission to the nursery or school parents for their children to have the vaccination. For children who are in Kindergarten or in the school, you must no later than 31. July 2021 to be shown that they are vaccinated or the measles already had. Well, to the children it is intended for. And the people around you? Vaccination is also for educators in day-care centres, for teachers, day carers and for Workers in medical and other ""community facilities"". This holiday camp or asylum and refugee accommodation. Also, residents of such facilities must be vaccinated or prove that you are immune. Are there any exceptions? Yes. Anyone who is not able to prove with a medical certificate, a vaccination for health reasons it is advisable, therefore, contraindicated, is exempt from the vaccination. In addition, are exempt prior to 1970, Born of the vaccination, as they would largely be immune because they have had the measles, most likely. The scheme applies only to measles? Basically Yes. With the ""measles protection act,"" the government is trying at the same time, other diseases continue to reduce. The aim is that there will in the future increasingly number of vaccinations in schools against diphtheria, Tetanus and whooping cough. What happens to those who do not adhere to the vaccination?

Also against the institutions fines can be imposed if you keep to the vaccination. How do I vaccination or immunity? On the Vaccination card, the yellow child examination booklet or medical certificate. Anyone who is not sure whether he is vaccinated or not, can also do a blood test. If antibodies are detected, you had the measles, either, and is therefore immune, or you have already been vaccinated. I don't know if I am vaccinated. So not at all. What to do now? When in doubt, should also adults once again prefer to vaccinate, advises the Standing Committee on vaccination (STIKO). For infectious diseases, the competent Robert-Koch-Institute (RKI) in accordance with the 1970-born adult large gaps. I have to take my child for vaccination extra in a full doctor's practice for Kids? No. Vaccination should in the future be the same for all Doctors, except dentists possible. Why are measles classified as so dangerous? When Infected, the immune system is weakened, it can lead to complications such as middle ear and lung inflammation. Rarely, it also comes to brain inflammation, which can be fatal. Measles are not a harmless childhood disease, says the RKI. In the case of 1000 Patients there is a death in the family. Sometimes the disease results only after years of death, such as in the measles-encephalitis SSPE – those who get it in infancy from measles, is particularly at risk. Is decided the vaccination completely? According to the Cabinet of Ministers must now agree to the Bundestag. A matter of form. In the Federal Council, no consent is, according to the Ministry of health is necessary. Why is the topic of Spahn so important? The world health organisation had recently criticized the low Coverage massively and concern about the impact of Impfgegnern expressed.

"5914","Already knew that measles was not a disease to be underestimated. Today, however, I got a new confirmation. In fact, it seems that there is the risk that it could make ""tabula rasa"" of the memory of the immune system. According to two recent studies published in the journals Science and Science Immunology, in people infected, the measles virus would have the ability to eliminate up to 73% of the antibodies that defend the body from other diseases (including flu, herpes, and pneumonia), which effectively deletes the part of the memory of the immune system. Measles makes us vulnerable to any disease The first study was conducted by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute in Boston in collaboration with Harvard Medical School, always, of Boston, and the Erasmus University Medical Center Rotterdam. The team of researchers has measured levels of thousands of antibodies directed against virus and bacteria present in the blood of a group of children. The examination, in particular, was executed before the children get sick with the measles, and was then repeated two months after contracting the infection. The results were not for nothing encouraging. It emerged that the disease had failed to clear from 11 to 73% of the antibodies normally circulating in our body. To have a further confirmation, the researchers repeated the same test on macaques. From the values measured before the measles, and five months after the infection is coming confirms, also in this case, the loss occurred 60% of the antibodies. Studies do not stop here. It is, in fact, been conducted, another, later published by britain's Wellcome Sanger Institute in collaboration with the University of Amsterdam, which has come to conclusions complementary. In this case, however, were examined 77 children (not vaccinated). The data demonstrated that the measles due to the loss of specific cells of the immune memory, leaving the children vulnerable and unable to react to new infections. In short, as if they were again infants. Why get vaccinated against the measles Yet, despite numerous scientific evidence, the measles vaccine does not seem to be a good habit among the italians. From the first of January to the 30 of September 2019 were reported 1.596 cases, including the death of an adult of 45 years. Of these, the 86,5% of the patients was not vaccinated at the time of the infection. And there have been certain complications, in 31% of cases: diarrhea, hepatitis, keratoconjunctivitis, pneumonia, and even three cases of encephalitis. So, numbers aside, from these new studies it emerges clearly that the measles vaccination is associated with protection against many other infectious diseases. The reason for this? It prevents immunosuppression. So no, the infections natural is not a good training of the immune system, indeed. All to the contrary.",249,"italy"

Blonde is said to be “devastated, not only by the feeling of defeat, of having lost our little patient, but also because it was loaded with a family of a weight that is a drama in the drama. I feel the pain very great, since this morning, when I opened the newspapers.” It has been written, in fact, that the child of 6 years would have been plagued by the brothers. “That's simply not true. His only protection – and reiterates the doctor it would be the immunity of the flock“. But immunization rates have fallen in Italy, where cases of measles from 1 January to over 3000. On the 15th of march, the doctors had advanced the suspicion of infection with measles for the child. A diagnosis is confirmed the day after.

"9910","Measles is a highly contagious disease and potentially life-threatening. It can cause a skin rash all over the body, cough, and fever, and is transmitted through the air by sneezing or coughing. Although there is a vaccination available, and the number of the world's cases of the measles have been on the rise over the past few years. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) , this figure has increased almost three fold from last year to this, compared to the first quarter of the next two years. The ministry of health of New Zealand has issued a press release raising awareness of the importance of the vaccination of the whole population up to the age of 50 years. The authorities are advising everyone that if you feel ill or feverish, the “stay away from the place of work, school, or in public places, in order to prevent putting other people at risk.” The outbreak is concentrated predominantly in the vicinity of the city of Auckland, new zealand, where it comes from 887 cases, and the ministry is also alert to the vaccination of the population for at least two weeks prior to his visit to the city. The Center for disease Control and Prevention (cdc) the United States has also issued a press release to advise on vaccination against measles to all americans who want to travel to New Zealand. In the past month, the world health organization has issued a statement saying that the four european countries – Albania, the Czech Republic, hungary, Greece and the United Kingdom, it is free of measles. A country is considered to be “free” of the disease, when, in a period of 12 months, there is only a single stream. In 2019, were recorded almost 365 million cases of measles around the world, and nearly three times that of the roughly 130 billion in the past year. These figures, says the world health organization, the highest since 2006, and can be caused by a lack of access to vaccination in some countries, it or ignorance about the disease and its prevention. In Portugal the status of the elimination of measles is given by the WHO in 2015, according to the National Health Service, “has had a few outbreaks from imported cases that were fast tracked”, given the high level of immunization coverage in the country.

"20916","Measles cases skyrocketed across Europe last year, with the highest number recorded in Romania and Italy, where populists have stoked fears about vaccinations.  In Europe, cases surged by 400%, with more than 2,000 people infected and 35 people dying from measles. Over half of all measles cases were recorded in Romania and Italy.  In 2017, there were 5,006 cases of measles in Italy, a 488% increase compared with the previous year. The number of cases in the first three months of last year surpassed the total in 2016.  More than 80% of Italy's measles cases involved people who had not been vaccinated. Italy's measles immunisation rate of 87% is much lower than the 95% threshold recommended by the World Health Organisation (WHO).  The alarming rise has been linked to the surging influence of two populist parties who have strong ties with the anti-vaccination movement.  Ahead of the Italian general election in March, the far-right Northern League party and Five Star Movement (M5S) have vowed to scrap a vaccination law.  The parties have both proposed revoking the law which states that children cannot enrol in a creche unless they have been vaccinated against measles and nine other infectious diseases. Under the current law, parents who do not get their child vaccinated can be fined up to €500 (L445).  In January, Northern League leader Matteo Salvini told reporters that the MMR jab should be optional. ""Vaccinations yes, obligation no,"" he said.  M5S's leader, Luigi Di Maio, echoed that position. In the past, M5S has highlighted what it called the ""dangers of vaccinations.""  ""Mass vaccination is a gift to multinational pharma and it is the furthest thing there is to an appropriate approach,"" a party statement in October 2015 read.  Italy's former prime minister, Matteo Renzi, condemned the populist proposal. ""You don't mess around with vaccines. The health of our children is at stake, not an extra [percentage] point at the polls. We are on the side of science, research and medicine and won't turn back,"" he said.  The last major measles outbreak in Italy was in 2002 when 60,000 people were infected and six died.  The Italian government introduced an immunisation programme in 2005 to eliminate measles, but vaccination rates in Italy have been declining steadily since the country's anti-vaccination movement started gathering momentum in 2012.",248,"uk"
"549","Only 75 % of children receive the second dose of vaccination. Fourteen. This is the number of confirmed cases of measles in Brussels for the past two weeks. In comparison, the capital had recorded thirteen on the set of the year 2018. Last Friday, the world health Organization (WHO) has sounded the alarm, declaring an official epidemic of measles. If the figures for 2018 are still preliminary, the WHO noted a 50% increase in cases reported across the world. In Brussels, Didier Gosuin (Challenge) explained, in particular, the net increase by migration movements. The brussels minister of Health intends to put in place preventive measures, but considers that it does not have jurisdiction to make other arrangements : “This is not a decision to be made unilaterally in Brussels. The policy must be the same on all the territory.” Other reason that could explain this epidemic of measles : measles is vaccination. For the first dose, when the baby is one year old, the coverage rate of the 95% targets set by WHO. It is the coverage of the second dose around 10 or 11 years old, which is still insufficient : it only reaches the 75 %. Clément Brasseur, a member of the health directorate of ONE, points out several reasons for this. “When the children are older, as at the time of the second dose, they consult less frequently by a health professional. The vaccination passes in the background.” Aware of this problem, the supreme council of health is currently considering the possibility of lowering the age of vaccination for the second dose. “It will take time to implement but it would be positive,” says Clement Brewer. With regard to the provision of free immunization in medical schools, it is only accessible if the administrative documents are in order. “Lack of time, forgetfulness, and difficulty of mastering the language : the administrative procedures are a barrier for some.” To limit these barriers, ONE is currently working on the translation of the permissions of vaccination, especially in English, Turkish and Arabic. They should be available as soon as the next school year. The solutions For ONE to cope with the spread of measles, the ONE puts forward several tracks that can be put in place concomitantly. First, the opportunity to make a catch-up vaccination for those who are not up to date, via the medical school or the doctor. Then, the free provision of the vaccine MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) until the age of 20 years inclusive. The ONE recalls that flyers of information are distributed each year via the medical school to all parents of children receiving the second dose of vaccination. The Office also calls for raising the awareness of professionals to the problem of the hesitation of vaccine. ",247,"belgium"
"671","© The Associated Press, One of the poorest countries in the world, Madagascar, suffers from a serious epidemic of measles, as well as one of the richest - the USA. Although both diseases from potentially fatal diseases, belong to one and the same cause of auxiliray children, the roots of this reason could not be more different. More than 1,200 people, mostly under the age of 15 years, died from measles in Madagascar since September. With almost 120 000 patients epidemiya the explosion was the heaviest of decades in the island nation. When chetyrehosnuju daughter Marie-Jean Randriamahefa ill, 44-year-old cleaner who lives in a poor district of the capital, Antananarivo, took her to the vet. It is not enough money to see another doctor. Though I have to pay for the view, the vaccines for free to Madagascar, but many parents don't know it. This posvecenost is a key factor in a country where, according to the world Bank, more than 75 percent of the population lives on less than two dollars a day. When her daughter asaravala, Randriamahefa decided to take her to the hospital, but the doctor refused to accept it, because mother did not have the seven dollars that have to pay for viewing. She blames herself for not vaccinial daughter, and through her tears says, ""I'm a criminal!"" In the end, Randriamahefa decided to borrow money to take their daughter to the doctor, and then the child asaravala completely. DPA have heard many similar stories from mothers in several different regions of the country. Often parents are forced to walk several kilometers to reach clinics, and some hospitals do not keep a stock of vaccines due to the lack of refrigerators. Some parents just didn't know when to vaccinate their children. This is not the situation in the US where parents have been informed and pridavani to vaccinate their children. In recent years, however, the ""anti-wax"" movement in Europe and the United States among parents who blame vaccines that cause diseases like autism in their children. West textures measles was nearly eradicated, until recently, to appear again. Saber of Madhi, Professor vaccinology at the University of Witwatersrand in Johannesburg, sees a stark contrast between the outbreaks of measles in poor countries and in rich countries. In poorer countries the ""fragile and medfinansiering health system and displaced communities (including refugees) contribute to the lack of or insufficient vaccination of children. In the West, ""we find that about fears, unscientific theory and the dissemination of false information led to the wrong idea about the risks and benefits of vaccination against measles,"" he said, in CHINA. © The Associated Press, earlier this month, authorities in new York declared a public health emergency situation and have prepared an order about the mandatory vaccination after the ""huge leap"" of cases of measles. Approximately three months from the beginning of the American Center for control and prevention of diseases recorded 465 cases of measles in 19 States. The center reported that in 2019. there is ""the second largest number of measles cases in the USA since the disease was eradicated in 2000"". Ukraine, Ukraine and the Congo also seen a major epidemic of explosions lately. The world health organization (who) announced ""celebriate immunization"" as one of the ten threats to global health in 2019 as warned: ""Nekomata or refusal of immunization, despite the availability of vaccines threatens to eliminate the progress made in the fight against predotvratit with vaccines diseases."" Numerous scientific studies have shown that no link between autism and the MMR vaccine (against measles, mumps and rubella). And despite all this, there is information that some parents in the United States even organize dangerous ""measles parties"" to try imunizare children as a result of contact with an infected. Again in Madagascar - misdiagnosis of measles also contributing to the problem. 36-year-old mother Erica says Hanitriniala took sick daughter Kayla, 6 years old, to the doctor that she was diagnosed with allergies. Errors are almost fatal. ""Every day use of new and new complications. She kallache much, her eyes were bloodshot, and then to diarrhea and vomiting, was ulcers (afti) in his mouth, and he couldn't eat,"" said mother, before ADP. Child received and palpitations. ""As if her heart was going to jump out of my chest,"" says the woman. According to Dr. Raul Kamadjeu, an expert on vaccination at UNICEF, the health system in Madagascar is simply not able to provide vaccination for all. A mass epidemic of measles in Madagascar is ""disastrous illustration of how the world looked like before vaccines. The fact that the parents in the ""first world"" who support the movement ""anti-wax"", I forgot,"" he says. /BTA",247,"bulgaria"

"5918","The Congo outbreak, measles Msf In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, in the first five months of the 2019 a serious epidemic of measles has caused 1500 deaths. After the alert launched by the congolese Ministry of health, on June 10, Doctors Without Borders has called for a national mobilization to vaccinate children and treat patients suffering from the disease. The epidemic that is affecting the country is likely to be the most deadly since the disease re-emergence, between 2011 and 2012. In 2019 the deaths caused by the measles accounted for approximately 75 percent of the total number of deaths registered in 2012, during the outbreak most deadly in the last decade. “The team of MSF, in collaboration with those of the Ministry of health, are doing all they can to reduce the chain of transmission of the disease, vaccinating as soon as they are reported cases of measles and providing assistance to the patients. However, in addition to the efforts already made in the last few months, you will need more resources and organizations. Ensure the provision of vaccines and medicines is essential, the sooner the better it is,” said Rachel Séguin, coordinator medical of MSF in the DRC. “Measles has caused so much damage in my village, there were no deaths in almost all the houses, some families have lost two, three, or even four kids,” she told Albertine, a resident in the area of health Kamwesha (in the province of Kasai), where MSF launched an emergency response last may. From the beginning of the year, MSF is committed to fighting the epidemic of measles, together with the Ministry of health, in the ten provinces of the country: Haut-Lomami, Haut-Uele, Ituri, Lualaba, Kasai, Kasai Central, North Kivu, South Kivu, Tanganyika, and Tshopo. Given the scope of the epidemic, the humanitarian organization is strengthening its surveillance system and deploying the team in new areas to combat the spread of the disease, which is highly infectious. Measles primarily affects children and its recurrence in the country is explained by a combination of causes, such as low immunization coverage, and the irregular supply of vaccines, the armed conflicts that paralyze the healthcare system in some areas and that prevent the access of patients to health facilities. “The factors that lead to the re-emergence of measles are numerous, but given the recurrence of the disease, it is vital that in the country to maintain a stable system of supply of vaccines. Several programs have been planned to increase the vaccination coverage in the course of the year,” said dr. Ousmane Moussa, head of mission of MSF in the DRC.

The paper notes that, in relation to cases or outbreaks of measles, one dose of the vaccine can be applied to children who do not yet have a one-year, six-and 12-months. This is considered to be a “leap to zero”, after which the dose 1 is given at 12 months of age, “while respecting a minimum of four weeks between doses.” In situations in which the children are not able to be vaccinated for clinical reasons, the DGS points out that one must “consider the passive immunization as post-exposure imunoglubulina, human, up to six days after exposure,”.

Mário Durval has argued that the public health service are the structures of the vaccination, and it is through them that you should reach out to parents, especially to inform them and answer all of your questions. About the rules related to the obligation to provide the vaccine, he points out that, ""eventually, there could be legislation that is more stringent from the point of view of the responsibility of the parents in case of illness of their children due to lack of vaccination, but this is not the case, or, at the very least, we do not expect this situation.""

In this way, we are already immunized the next time we face this virus and we can make antibodies to fight it.

Vaccinated children and anyone who has already had measles are extremely unlikely to catch measles.  MMR vaccination  The first dose of MMR vaccine is given to children at around 12 months of age. A second dose is given to junior infants in primary school. Between 5% and 10% of children are not fully immune after the first dose, so the second dose of MMR helps to increase protection. Less than 1% of children remain at risk of measles after the second dose of MMR.  If a child who is younger than 12 months of age is exposed to the measles virus, the action taken to prevent them developing the disease will depend on whether they are under or over six months of age.  Children aged under 5 months  If the child's mother has had measles in the past, the child will usually be immune to the measles infection because the mother's protective antibodies will have been passed to the baby in the womb.  However, if the mother has not had measles, the child may be given an injection of human normal immunoglobulin (HNIG). HNIG is not a vaccine. It is a special concentration of antibodies that can give short-term but immediate protection against measles.  Children aged 5-11 months  A child aged between 5 and 11 months who is exposed to the measles virus must be given an injection of human normal immunoglobulin (HNIG). HNIG is not a vaccine. It is a special concentration of antibodies that can give short-term but immediate protection against measles.

However, if a child is given the vaccine before their first birthday, they should still be given two further doses as part of the childhood vaccination programme. These children should have another dose between 12-15 months of age, at least one month after the first dose. Another dose should be given at 4-5 years of age  MMR vaccination for people planning to travel abroad  Those who have not been vaccinated with MMR vaccine or have not had measles in the past are at risk of measles. If unsure whether they had the vaccine they should speak to their GP about getting the MMR vaccine before travelling.  Vaccination remains the best protection against infection. Children aged 6-11 months of age, travelling to other countries and regions where measles outbreaks are reported, are recommended MMR vaccine. This vaccine is in addition to the routine childhood vaccination schedule of two MMRs. A dose given before 12 months of age does not replace the dose that would normally be given at 12 months of age.  Older children should be age appropriately vaccinated. Children who have missed their recommended doses should get the MMR vaccine from their GP.  Adults may be at risk of measles, particularly those under 40 years of age who have never had measles or two doses of a measles vaccine.  Travelling on a plane  If you or your child has measles, you will not be able to fly until at least five days after the rash has appeared and you are well enough to travel. Inform the airline as soon as measles is diagnosed.  If you or your child has been exposed to measles and you are not already immune there is a high risk that measles will develop. You or your child should not travel if infectious. Speak with your GP and seek advice.  It is also important to let your travel insurer know if you or your child have had measles or been exposed to measles. You need to make sure that you'll be covered if you have to delay or cancel your holiday, or if you need to extend your stay until your child is well enough to fly home.",236,"ireland"

Among the confirmed cases, one adult is admitted to the hospital and is medically stable, according to the same source, but they didn't have it. Grace Stevens, in an interview with Portuguese television, RTP, pointed out the need for vaccination, especially those who will be making a trip to a foreign national, as there are many european countries where the virus has returned to the ring.

""The resumption of the transmission of measles is a serious problem. If we are unable to establish and maintain high vaccination coverage in every community, children and adults will experience unnecessary pain and suffering, and some will be doomed to a tragic death,"" said Günter Pfaff, the president of the regional Commission of verification of elimination of measles and rubella. On the basis of the figures of 2018, the disease is no longer considered ""eliminated"" in the United Kingdom, Greece, Czech Republic and Albania. For WHO, the status of""removal"" corresponds to the absence of continuous transmission for 12 months in a particular geographic area. In the Uk, 953 cases have been reported in 2018 (489 since 1 January 2019), while 2 193 have been recorded in Greece (28), 1 466 in Albania (475), and 217 in the Czech Republic (569). >> Read also : Measles : who can catch it ?

""I think it is an alarm bell to the world : it is not enough to achieve a national coverage high, it must be done in every community and in every family,"" she added. No curative treatment is Extremely contagious and may lead to severe complications, including fatal cases (37 cases in Europe in the first half and 74 in 2018), measles is usually spread by direct contact or through the air, infecting the respiratory tract, then spreads throughout the body. In Europe, the majority of those affected were under the age of 19 years (60% of cases). In the first half of 2019, 78% of the cases were recorded in four hotbeds of contagion : Kazakhstan, Georgia, Russia and Ukraine, which alone comprises 60% of the cases. Measles was declared eliminated in 35 of the 53 countries that comprise the region. They were 37 in 2017. It is endemic in 12 countries, including France and Germany, countries in which the vaccination will become mandatory from march 2020. Good students, Austria and Switzerland were granted the status of""elimination"" after "" demonstrated the interruption of the ongoing transmission for at least 36 months "". There is no curative treatment for measles, but it can be prevented by two doses of a vaccine, according to WHO, which estimates that more than 20 million the number of deaths prevented in the world between 2000 and 2016, thanks to the vaccination. Distrust of vaccines To the scale of the planet, the amount of cases reported has been multiplied by three between the period from 1 January to 31 July 2018 (129 239) and the first seven months of this year (364 808). The greatest number of cases have been recorded in the democratic Republic of the Congo, Madagascar, and Ukraine. The United States have identified their highest number of cases of measles in 25 years. The WHO estimates that less than one in ten cases is reported in the world, which means that the magnitude of the epidemic is much larger than the official statistics. The specialized agency of the UN considers that in reality there are approximately 6.7 million deaths each year measles-related, said Kate O'brien. This disease re-appeared a little everywhere in the world because of poor access to care or a distrust of vaccines. Until 2016, it was yet in decline. In western countries, the ""anti-vax"" claim that there is a link between the measles vaccine and autism. More than once, WHO has debunked this theory, based on a study falsified.",235,"france"

According to journalists, Madagascar would face a terrible epidemic of measles (the new plague of the century, as we all know - ah, in Madagascar there is still the plague to the effects, but this does not seem to make news) that would have caused in a few months well 1.205 dead! The website ""prince"" from which to draw the official news of the emergencies and epidemics around the globe is of course that of the Who (World Health Organization): it is a pity that you do not make any mention of the african emergency related to the measles, nor of epidemics disturbing... To look good, but really, is the last note published on the Madagascar: is January 2019 and mentions 39 deaths linked to this ""terrible"" disease. No reference to the very different of 1200 dead.... The same official note was also picked up by our Ministry of Health of italy. Among other things, as we read the circular, ""more Than half of cases (51%) reported during the current outbreak have not been vaccinated or their immune status is not known (there will be 56% in march, ed). Madagascar has the highest rate of malnutrition in children under 5 years of age (47%) in the african region, which can increase the risk in children of serious complications and death due to infection from measles."" Then, we have a nice 49% of subjects who were vaccinated but still contract the disease??? And, then, the hygienic conditions and nutrition have a major influence in the course of this disease??? Incredible, when we say there are four of us invaded the ignorant and addicted to sorcery....fortunately here we can have a confirmation ""scientific"": they say that the Ministry and the Who, the science will not deny it! Sifting through the emergencies reported in the african continent, among other things, you will find news on ebola, cholera, and other, but not a single alarm on the killer of our own. And this in spite of the conditions of the population above! In short, what will happen? How ever if the situation is so serious, the note most recently that we find on the site Who speaks of 39 deaths in January and there are no more updates? The only link that returns the data of 1.205 deaths, relating to the epidemic of measles, this is, and I quote: The current epidemic underscores the necessity of vigilance. The measles epidemic that was declared on 4 October 2018 has affected 105 of the country's 114 health districts. Nearly 117 075 cases and 1 205 deaths have been recorded to date. As ever the main website of the Who (Who) does not report this data in the evidence? Here is the table extracted from the site Who, containing the last report, with updates in March: First, under the ""confirmed Cases"", we find 0. Zero! Then he says in the comments: ""There were 638 reported deaths in health facilities, and 567 community deaths including 114 measles-related deaths and 453 non-measles realated death assessed by community workers."" whose translation would be ""there have been (from 3 September 2018 24th march 2019) 638 deaths reported in health facilities and 567 deaths in the community, including 114 deaths related to measles and 453 deaths not related to measles evaluated by the workers of the community.""? Then the deaths from measles would be 752 instead of 1205? and from where I get this data? Perhaps the sum of the two digits of the fatalities reported? 638 567 = ...1.205! But then it is possible that someone has ""wrong"" to report the data? The mystery is getting thicker...but how many are the deaths related with certainty to the measles, even if the cases really confirmed here, don't we? Remains the given declared of 752 deaths, almost half of what is reported by the media in the last few hours.

Although they, too, spoke out against the RND for a vaccination in day-care centres. But ""first of all, the legal basis at the Federal level would have to be created"". Klepsch referred to the legal claim on a kindergarten place, which is not currently subject to conditions. Legally difficult measles are extremely contagious and potentially deadly. The disease occurs in Germany and other Western countries again. This is mainly due to the fact that a part of the population trusts the vaccines miss. In addition to the acute disease may occur as a late result of measles illness to a life-threatening inflammation of the brain. Legally forced to measles should not be to enforce vaccination easily. The scientific service of the Bundestag, had already noted two years ago on constitutional issues. The experts do not exclude the possibility of a mandatory vaccination for certain diseases to enforce, generally speaking. For kindergarten children, this could still work to some extent, in the case of school children may be more difficult.",234,"germany"

When you vaccinate themselves to protect not only themselves, but prevent the infection from being spread to those who did not receive protection against the disease. This is the reason why it is important to get vaccinated against the measles. In the PRESENCE of, AND OCCASIONALLY DEADLY Measles is a very contagious. More than 90 percent of the people who come into contact with a sick person will become infected if they do not have vaccination coverage. The disease can lead to respiratory problems, pneumonia and other serious complications. In about one per 1000 cases, the disease causes an acute encephalitis that can be fatal or cause lasting damage. 145 700 people in the world died from measles in 2013, most of the children under five years of age. In high-income countries, mortality rates due to measles, one in 1,000 to 5,000, however. The last major epidemic in Sweden and broke out in 1919, when the 43, 000 people are affected. In the 2000s, fewer than 60 of the Swedish cases of the measles were reported each year. YOU have to PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS, the Disease has almost disappeared in Sweden, thanks to widespread vaccination since the late 1980s. Mässlingvaccin are included in the general vaccination programme and is given to children at 18 months of age. The syringe provides approximately 95% protection against the disease. In order to prevent the outbreak of a large proportion of the population is vaccinated that the infection does not get hold – the so-called herd immunity. Immunisation is therefore not simply a matter for the individual, but also for the protection of their fellow-men, for example, a child under the age of 18 months.

"5930","TREVISO. The epidemic of measles has arrived at the gates of the North-East. In the last week in the Veneto region have occurred 35 cases and outbreaks rise to 1,010 in Italy from the beginning of 2017, with a more 230 per cent of diagnoses compared to the average. Up to now in the province of Treviso there have been no recorded cases in the first few months of the year, but there are 18 in the last five years, with an increase in the age of the sick. Not only children, measles affects more and more persons between 15 and 30 years, making the consequences of the decline of immunization began at the end of the Nineties. Worrying signals to which the Usl 2 Marca Trevigiana has decided to respond with an extraordinary plan of prophylaxis. The healthcare company has put on the table an investment of 350 thousand euros for the purchase of the serum for the campaign ""Vaccination Day"" for measles that will be launched on Saturday 8 April at the outpatient clinic vaccinations statue of our lady at Treviso, in the district of Oderzo (8.30-17). Then continue on the 6th of may in the headquarters of immunization of via Dante, in Montebelluna and in the former hospital's pavilion K in Castelfranco (8.30-17.30) as well as in the outpatient clinic of via Galvani in Conegliano (from 8.30 to 16.30). . ""We decided to make an extraordinary effort, the light of the sharp increase in cases of measles at national level. We want to ensure the children of our area greater protection against a disease, which, wrongly, is considered trivial,"" underlines the director general Francesco Benazzi, following the appeal launched in the days past by the Ministry of Health. These days, the departments of prevention treviso are inviting families via text message and letter, inviting them to join the first campaign of anti-measles offered free of charge to 2,500 children in the district of Treviso, to 1,500 in the former Usl Parish and 3,900 in the Asolo-Montebelluna-Castelfranco. This last area has to recover a lot of ground after years in which the vaccine coverage is not ever climb above 85 percent because of the strong influence of the leagues anti-vaccination. An effect that has also involved the other two Usl, but to a lesser extent, with response rates around 90 percent. The Vaccination Day will be an occasion to dispel myths and fears of the parents, inviting them to discuss with doctors avoiding the Internet and word of mouth. ""We need to dispel the myth that measles is strictly related to childhood, and that it is a disease of little importance"", emphasizes John Gallo, of the department of Prevention of Treviso, ""it is an infectious disease caused by a virus that causes fever accompanied by rash, with complications, even serious such as pneumonia and encephalitis. It is much more contagious and severe meningitis, with a mortality of one per thousand cases (we are talking 1 in every 50,000 for the meningitis) and rates of hospitalization by 40 percent."" The objective of the Usl 2 is to vaccinate 95 per cent of the population of treviso, to reach the immunity of the flock, that is, a number of persons vaccinated are able to protect even those who can't get vaccinated for serious health issues.",232,"italy"
"2294","The press has just announced that at Poitiers, a young woman with obesity was dead of the measles. Professor Merry – who denies being anti-vaccine : there is, he says, that to denounce abuses – responds to the micro of Boulevard Voltaire. He warns tale a manipulation of information aimed at a single injunction : “Vaccinate-all of you !” Professor Merry, are you off of the college of physicians ? I have not been expunged. A regional Council of the college of doctors has uttered a cancellation between 8 and 13 July 2016. But this radiation is suspended. So I am not written off. I have to go before the board disciplinary of the national Council of the college of physicians to explain to me. The latter will then decide either to put in place radiation, or contradict, the regional Council of the college of physicians of Languedoc Roussillon. If the latter option is chosen, then the radiation will be permanently suspended. Very honestly, I expect this. There is no reason that I should be disbarred. They wanted to make me an anti-vaccine. But, this is not true. I'm just against the abuse. It is as if you are accused of being against the car, just because you are against the abuse of excess of speed. These days, a pretty young lady is dead of the measles. What is your reaction ? This is not because she died with measles that she is necessarily dead of the measles. This is not the same thing. I have not seen the record of this person, but I've read the press. She reported comorbidities. This means that she was sick. His illness was linked to obesity. First of all, it must of course regret the death of this young person. But it is a bit easy to say that she died of the measles, so that she died with the measles. It is all the more serious because there is a risk of continuing the doctor who has not been vaccinated then he might be right. In some cases, it is not necessary to vaccinate. Vaccinating against measles, mumps and rubella, three inactivated viruses are injected. This does not mean that they are not active, but they have an activation decreased. However, obesity is a real disease. And when a person is suffering from depression immune, there may be a contra-indication to the vaccination. It was said that this young woman died of the measles, so that she may be died of his own illness, of a pulmonary embolism, or I don't know what other symptoms with the measles. This does not mean the same thing. At this point, one can justify his doctor not to get vaccinated. This is not to say that I am against the vaccine, as eventually would be his doctor. We see how well we can manipulate information. The goal is, of course, we impose the following message : “vaccinate-all of us, because tomorrow morning we are at risk of catching measles and dying of it!” For the past month and a half, the eleven vaccines are now mandatory. It was a willingness of the minister of Health. What do you think of this decision ? The minister of Health is manipulated by the manufacturers. This decision is absurd. We try to force children to be vaccinated from the age of two months. This represents a significant amount of aluminum. So I say to all those who listen to us to look at the call for the reason that we have launched on our website. You will understand why it can withstand while remaining within the law. This message is directed to both health professionals and the public at large.",232,"france"

If mälurakud not reached a killed virus, leads to destruction of the infection getting rid of complete immune system. Subsequent epidemiological studies indicated that the impact is long-term.

"2295","Friday, July 6, the regional Agency of health (ARS), New Aquitaine stated that a young girl of 17 years had died of neurological complications after contracting measles. This is the third death in France since the beginning of the year, after the death of a 32 year old woman and a 26 year old male. These three patients were immunocompromised, that is to say that their immune system was weakened. The teenage girl who died on the 6th of July did so not able to be vaccinated against measles because of weakened immune system. To be protected, therefore, the commission should rely on the other, on the population to be vaccinated. Because the vaccination isn't just to protect yourself. By vaccinating, we can help to eradicate the infectious disease and highly communicable diseases, such as measles or rubella. To eliminate these diseases, it is necessary that the vaccination coverage exceeds 95% of vaccinated persons. “I really take to people who are not vaccinated or who have not vaccinated their children to do a catch-up today because, particularly in some regions of France, the coverage is around 70 %, this is the case in the South-West. It is totally insufficient to prevent an epidemic to emerge,” recalled Agnes Buzyn, minister of Health, in February last. Currently, the health authorities consider that the immense majority of the French people born before 1980 has had the measles, and has thus developed an immunity against this disease is highly contagious. As the MMR vaccine was introduced in France in 1983, the health authorities call the people born after 1980 to check in their health record that they have received two doses of MMR vaccine, and be vaccinated if this is not the case. According to figures release by the LRA of New-Aquitaine, region of France most affected, 1 096 cases of measles have been confirmed since the 6th of November (2 567 cases across the Hexagon), with 1 in 4 requiring hospitalization and 12 persons transferred in the icu.

The year before, only 5300 cases had been identified in Europe. More than 41 000 children and adults across Europe have been infected with measles in the first six months of 2018 and at least 37 people have died, show figures from @WHO https://t.co/bgz8pPzlO4 pic.twitter.com/2qt6f8S7uC — The BMJ (@bmj_latest) August 20, 2018 2741 cases reported in France since November 2017 Ukraine is the country most hard hit this year with 23,000 cases in 6 months, followed by Serbia, Russia, Italy, Georgia, germany, Greece, or even France. According to Public Health France, ""the number of measles cases increases significantly from November 2017. This situation is the result of inadequate immunization coverage among infants (79% with two doses of the vaccine instead of the 95% required), children and young adults"". More specifically, 2741 cases have been reported in France since the 6 November 2017, 22% of them were hospitalized, and three deaths occurred from January - 37 at the european level. In sum, contrary to popular belief, measles is not an eradicated disease, or a childhood disease benign. It also affects adults, can lead to pulmonary complications, or neurological are serious and can even be fatal. ""Measles is ten times more contagious than the flu. It spreads very easily from person to person through the air when coughing, sneezing, mouchage, or by contact with contaminated objects (toys, handkerchiefs, ...)"", is reminiscent of the ARS. 89% of the patients were poorly or not vaccinated 89% of cases reported in France since January have occurred in people not or poorly vaccinated. These do not, in fact, have received only one dose of the vaccine, while the vaccine coverage in provides two. ""This setback part shows that any person who is not vaccinated is vulnerable, where she lives, and that all countries should keep up the pressure to expand coverage and address immunity gaps, even after having obtained a status of the interruption or elimination of the disease"", explains le Figaro dr Nedret Emiroglu, director, division of health emergencies and communicable diseases at the WHO regional Office for Europe. Traditionally, the regimen consists of the injection of a dose of MMR vaccine (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) at 12 months and then a second injection between 16 and 18 months. For people who have never been vaccinated against measles, catch-up is possible. It consists of the injection of two doses of vaccine at least one month apart. In the event of an outbreak, it is possible to receive the vaccine up to 72 hours after contact with a person suffering from measles to prevent the occurrence of the disease (catch-up vaccination). Can we vaccinate children with allergies ? The immunization of allergic children has been addressed by specialists on the occasion of the 13th edition of the French-speaking Congress of Allergy (CFA), which was held in April at the Palais des Congres in Paris.

"3749","Gaps in measles vaccination, the decline in flu protection for the elderly: In Germany, vaccination in many cases, too rarely or too late, reported the Robert Koch Institute (RKI). In addition, when Vaccination large regional differences. In order to analyze the vaccination rates, experts from the RKI billing analyzed data from the physicians ' associations. Accordingly, nationwide 150,000 in 2013, the children born were at the age of 24 months are not complete and a further 28,000 not vaccinated against measles. The problem regions are located mainly in the Metropolitan areas. In Dresden, Hamburg, Cologne, Leipzig and Munich are not a sufficient measles vaccination in Berlin, even the 7300 had under the two-year-old, respectively, between 2000 and 4100 children from the class of 2013. Germany is measles tail light Originally had set by the world health organization (WHO), the goal of the measles in Europe by 2010 to eradicate. Due to insufficient vaccination coverage in many countries, including Germany, this was not achieved yet. ""Too bad that Germany is now in Europe in light of measles elimination,"" said RKI President Lothar Wieler. The first measles vaccination is recommended at the age of eleven to 14 months, the second vaccination at the age of 15 to 23 months. At least for the second measles vaccination is a strong is the RKI, according to the ""upward trend"". While in the 2004 first-Born, just under 59% have the second vaccination, this is the birth year 2013, almost 74 percent. This was probably due also to a higher public attention due to the large measles outbreak in the end of 2014, beginning of 2015, speculate the experts. In the period, had become infected in Berlin more than a thousand people with the highly contagious pathogens, a small child died. It had a pre-existing condition that would not have resulted without the measles, this time to the death. Seniors: more and less Influenza vaccinations gaps, there are also the influenza, protection of the elderly. Always less can a flu shot. Almost half (47.7 percent) were in the 2009/2010 season of at least 60-Year-old vaccinated, declined, the share in the 2015/2016 season on a third (35.3 percent). The rate for girls between the ages of nine and fourteen years of age, the recommended HPV vaccination increased slightly, but only in the case of 30.5 per cent. Infection with human papillomavirus is considered to be a trigger for the development of cervical cancer. The vaccination protects against pre-cancerous lesions on the cervix, which is why experts believe a reduction in the rate of cancer in the long term is very likely. Were also evaluated data for the rotavirus vaccination. Two-thirds of the infants were, therefore, a complete vaccine against the diarrhea and vomiting. The vaccination is recommended for babies, since 2013, of the Standing Committee on vaccination.",230,"germany"
"5933","Those who continue to deny that in Italy there is a problem with the measles due to low vaccination coverage continue to have to love surprises from the weekly bulletins of the ministry of Health and the national Institute of health. In the period from 1 January 2017 to July 16, were reported 3.672 cases of infection with measles. To make it known are the data collected by the Surveillance System Integrated Measles and Rubella, by Region, by age group and state vaccination. The continuous growth of cases of measles in Italy, The “newness” of the months of June and July is that in addition to the impressive number of cases have been recorded three deaths. 89% of the cases of measles was recorded among persons who had not been vaccinated. A further 6% among those who have received only one of the two doses of the vaccine. It is known that the effectiveness of the coverage of the vaccine is greatest when they are administered in two doses. Overall, in 95% of cases of measles reported has been recorded in subjects who had a low or no vaccination coverage. This means that in almost all cases, the vaccine is used to protect the population and especially to prevent the spread of the virus. 90% of reports come from seven regions: Piemonte, Lazio, Lombardia, Toscana, Abruzzo, Veneto and Sicily. In the Veneto region President luca Zaia has announced it intends to oppose to the DL Lorenzin were recorded 244 cases of measles. Luca Zaia claims there is no urgent need to proceed with a new law on compulsory vaccinations. The freedom of choice and the hoax of the autism data this week – and those of the past months – show the opposite. Especially if we compare the data of this year with those of the previous four years. In large part a result of the freedom of choice in the field of vaccination. It is worth to remember that vaccination MPR/MPRV is the one accused for years by many doctors now that are struck off from the register (and some lawyer) to cause autism. The so-called trivalent chromium has long been referred to as the vaccination is more dangerous because the parents feared the risk of (non-existent from the point of view of medical and scientific) that their children become suddenly autistic. As is widely known to get sick from measles has complications. These, however, are ignored by Concerned Parents™, those careful record as serious adverse reactions, the appearance of some line of fever following the vaccination. Obviously, the various ear infections, respiratory failure, hepatitis, pneumonia, or diarrhea recorded in at least 35% of the cases raise no concerns because they are “natural” and “not induced” as those caused by vaccines. The median age of the cases equal to 27 years. The majority of cases (73%) has been reported in persons of age greater than or equal to 15 years. The vaccine is mandatory for access to the schools was taken away 18 years ago, in 1999. In addition to the increase of cases registered in the health workforce should worry about the aspect relating to the costs. Who is against vaccinations claim that it is a gift to the pharmaceutical companies. But the fact that 41% of the people infected has been admitted to the hospital that the 22% is to be directed to the Emergency room, gives you the idea of how even a disease considered to be harmless as the measles have of the costs from the point of view of health. Cases of measles in the region are triple that of dr. Stefano Ricci, director of the organic Unity of neurology of the hospital of Citta di Castello and Gubbio-Gualdo Usl 1. stresses that in Umbria, in the first six months of the year was recorded three times the number of cases of measles than in all of 2016. Cases of measles last year were 25 and this year we are already at 70. RIcci recalls, the most serious complication of measles, the panencefalite sclerosente subacute” stressing that its eradication can only be achieved by increasing vaccination”. Ricci then explained that the Sno, Society of neuroscience, hospital of which management is part, “promotes and encourages the vaccination antimorbillosa on a large scale in the Country for the purpose of fighting this disease.” How do you explain the ISS, the measles virus produces a generalized immunosuppression (with this term we mean a strong weakening of the immune system), that can last even long after recovery from the disease. The mechanism by which this occurs is not yet entirely clear, but researchers hypothesize that the virus alters the functions of the immune system. For this reason therefore, individuals not vaccinated became infected with measles have an immune system that is weakened compared to those vaccinated.",230,"italy"

A lot of people do not vaccinate or do not even know if they have been,"" said Dr. Carole Schirvel of the surveillance of infectious diseases at the close of the Agency for a life of quality in the Walloon region. For her, the adults between 30 and 40 years old represent the age group most prone to a risk of contamination and spread of measles. To prevent an epidemic by vaccination, there must be a rate of people vaccinated, 95%. However, there is that among children this rate is achieved, and only for the first of two doses of vaccine recommended. However, contracting a childhood disease can be more critical to the adult age. In almost 20% of cases, measles can lead to pneumonia or encephalitis (inflammation of the brain), as indicated in the report of the research institute of public health (Sciensano). If Germany is heading for a compulsory vaccination against measles, Carole Schirvel advocates the information before any. ""In Wallonia, more importantly, there is a distrust vis-a-vis the vaccine. It would be necessary to inform the people about the importance of vaccination but also on the dangerousness of the virus."" An information campaign that, according to the doctor, should also aim the body of general practitioners, who do not always have the reflex to check if the vaccines to their patients are up to date, ""there is no vaccine provider was born."" Although in Belgium the cases of measles between January and June 2019 have more than tripled compared to the same period in 2018, Carole Schirvel insists on the fact that since June, the trend is to the downside.",229,"belgium"

"2297","A state of emergency in a suburb in new york, a surge of cases in Ukraine, deadly epidemic in Madagascar... Disease preventable but potentially fatal, measles re-emerged everywhere in the world, because of a distrust of vaccines and / or poor access to care. Measles is a viral disease highly contagious, more so than Ebola, or the flu, and for which there is no curative treatment. It mainly affects children, but not only. It is manifested by a high fever and then a rash of plates. Often mild, measles can cause serious complications, respiratory (lung infections) and neurological (encephalitis), especially in frail people. Health authorities worldwide insist on the importance of the vaccine, at the individual level but also collective : high vaccination coverage (95 % of the population) protects persons who cannot themselves be vaccinated, especially because of their weakened immune system (leukemia, treatment for anti-rejection after a transplant, etc.). A bond of 50 % The world health Organization (WHO) and Unicef have launched a cry of alarm at the resurgence of this disease. The WHO has indeed noted an increase of about 50 % of the cases reported last year compared to 2017, who have done 136 000 deaths in the world. Until 2016, the disease was yet in decline. According to Unicef, 98 countries have reported a larger number of cases in 2018 than in 2017. Ten, including Ukraine, Brazil and France, are responsible for three-quarters of the total increase. In Ukraine, where took place the largest increase, 35 000 cases have been reported in 2018, which is 30 000 more than in 2017. And for the first two months of 2019, we are already at 24 000. In the rich countries, this increase is largely attributed to a distrust of vaccines in general and MMR (measles/mumps/rubella) in particular. The ""anti-vax"" is based on a publication from 1998 linking the vaccine and autism. However, it has been established that its author, the British Andrew Wakefield, had falsified his results, and many studies have since shown that the vaccine did not increase the risk of autism. The distrust can also have religious. Struck by an epidemic of measles, a county north of New York decided Tuesday to declare a state of emergency and banning of its public places any minor non-vaccinated. The neighbourhoods most affected are those with a high proportion of ultra-orthodox jewish. The trips also involved ""It makes me angry to see that in the case of measles, we have the tools to prevent, but they are not used enough,"" says Françoise Barré-Sinoussi, Nobel prize for medicine 2008 for the codécouverte of the aids virus. Because the aids vaccine is the holy Grail after which the research world short for years. According to the WHO, ""the primary reason"" for the failure of the vaccination of children is that "" those who are most in need do not have access to "". In question : health systems failing in the poor countries. This is the case in Madagascar where, according to Unicef, 77 000 people were infected with measles between September and February. More than 900 died, most of them children. Unicef and WHO have supported a campaign of vaccination of 11.5 million children in February in Yemen, where years of conflict have led to an epidemic. In Venezuela, which has been ravaged by an economic crisis that has resulted in a shortage of medicines, thousands of cases were reported in recent months. ""When measles appears in a country, there is a chance that it will have repercussions in others, because people travel so much,"" explains Daniel Lévy-Bruhl, head of immunization at the health care agency French public Health France. At the end of February, a French family achievement of measles had been placed in isolation in Costa Rica, where she was staying. The authorities feared that it causes an epidemic in this country, which has recorded its last indigenous case in 2006 and continues a campaign of free vaccination. According to the Dr. Lévy-Bruhl, the epidemic that currently affects the community ultra-orthodox jewish area of New York was started in Israel before being exported to the United States.",229,"france"

This brings to 6 the number of deaths in Italy in 2018. Both of the people died of circulatory arrest, were not vaccinated and had, at the time of infection, some disease that undermined the immune system.

Experts recommend the vaccination of the mmr with an interval of two doses with a gap of four weeks between each one. Measles is spread by air or respiratory secretions, conjunctival, and can be incubated five days before the first symptoms appear. In addition to the characteristic rash, its symptoms are similar to those of a common cold and conjunctivitis. That is to say, a high fever, runny nose, dry cough, or sore throat.

The Moselle river is among the departments the most affected by measles Moselle, France ""Vaccinated"", the word continually in the mouth of the specialists since the announcement of the deaths due to the epidemic of measles of a 32 year old woman to the university hospital of Poitiers, on Tuesday 13 February. The mother was not vaccinated against the virus, as a teenager of 16 years who has succumbed to a measles acute, in the past year, in 2017, to Marseille. The debate on vaccination raised These two tragedies raise once again the debate on vaccination in France, while the government has decided to make 11 mandatory vaccinations, including the MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) for children born on or after January 1, 2018. The first injection is recommended at 12 months of age for the infant, then the recall must be performed between 16 and 18 months to ensure protection. To avoid this infectious disease, often mild, characterized by fever, cough, or rash, vaccine alone is effective.

The medical follow-up of students and the implementation of actions of prevention within schools would be less frequent, and therefore less effective.

"3756","The health insurance company Barmer has warned of dangerous gaps in the case of several hundred thousand children in Germany. More than one in every five of 2015-born infant was not or incompletely vaccinated in his first two years of life against measles, the Barmer with reference to your own investigation. The study is based on the analysis of data from more than 45,000 in Barmer children insured. Extrapolated to the total population of the study revealed a number of just over 166,000 two-year-olds were in the year 2017 without the full measles protection. ""In Germany, still too few children are vaccinated. This makes the eradication of certain infectious diseases is impossible, and prevents the protection for all those who can not be vaccinated,"" said Barmer-chief Executive Christoph Straub. According to the health insurance, the research also showed that the gaps are in older children more serious than believed. Thus was achieved in 2017, in the case of children of primary-education enrolment age in none of the 13 most common infectious diseases, a vaccination Coverage of more than 90 percent. In order to protect the entire population, the vaccination Coverage at over 95 percent. The data the school entrance examinations at the Robert Koch-Institute show, the first measles vaccination, the quota is met, with about 97 per cent. In the case of the second measles vaccination, there are nearly 93 percent. About nine percent of school beginners, however, had no Vaccination card and, therefore, their vaccination status could not be determined. This could also explain the difference to the Barmer-Pay. The RKI points in analyses, even to the fact that the vaccination rates are probably a bit too high. In July, the Federal Cabinet had decided on the mandatory measles vaccination. As of March 2020 children and staff in daycare centers and schools should need to, Employees in medical facilities and personnel in so-called community facilities to demonstrate that they are vaccinated.

We talk about 2017, and to do the accounts is the World Health Organization on the eve of a meeting between the Health ministers of europe on the topic of immunization which will be held tomorrow in Montenegro. ""Each new person hit by measles in Europe,"" says Zsuzsanna Jakab, WHO regional director for Europe, ""reminds us that children and adults not vaccinated, regardless of where they live, remain at risk of contracting the disease and spreading it to others who might not be able to be vaccinated. More than 20,000 cases of measles and 35 lives lost only in 2017 are a tragedy that we simply can not accept."" Italy among the worst cases are quadrupled compared to 2016, which was considered a record year in the positive with the sun 5.273 affected people in our continent. To contribute to the sad leadership in 2017, there is Italy, with its 5006 registered cases is second only to Romania, where the sick of the measles have been 5562. Following is a short distance to the Ukraine with 4767. In practice, our country last year, he has scored almost the equivalent of registered cases in the whole of Europe in the previous year.

The commitment to eliminate it ""The elimination of measles and rubella is a priority objective to which all european countries have committed themselves firmly and a milestone for the achievement of sustainable development goals related to health,"" continues Jakab. ""This setback in the short term may not be recognised by our commitment to be the generation that will free our children from these diseases once and for all"". The only weapon really effective way to succeed in this desirable aim is, needless to say, the vaccine is an instrument that, if it came to coverage of 95% of the population, will guarantee the immunity of the flock, by deleting the measles from the list of our concerns. Unfortunately, there is probably a decline in the vaccination coverage at the base of the new peak cases. The question is one of the hot topics of the election campaign, from the time that various parties, primarily the League and the M5S, you are called for freedom of choice, placing it in fact against compulsory vaccination sanctioned by the Health minister of the outgoing government, Beatrice Lorenzin. Protect all WHO does know that the process of verifying the elimination of measles and rubella for the country, introduced in 2012, has brought Europe to its goal of elimination of measles and rubella. Each year, the audit Committee independent regional (RVC) examines data from countries and immunization activities, and recommended actions to resolve the specific challenges faced by different countries. At the end of 2016, in 42 of the 53 european countries was interrupted endemic transmission of measles. However, warn experts, the outbreaks will continue to occur until all of the children and adults likely will not be protected. ""In our country"", says Roberto Burioni, Professor of Virology and Microbiology at the University Vita-Salute San Raffaele, contacted via email by Panorama.it, ""because of a lack of vaccinations has accumulated a number of susceptible individuals that have allowed the emergence of the epidemic. Of course, if you do not lift the covers, we will meet again soon in front of another wave of the epidemic"". ""When we talk about freedom of choice,"" continues the virologist, ""let us not forget that the higher incidence of measles in this outbreak occurred in children under one year, who are not the children of parents who have chosen not to than to vaccinate them, but children too young to be vaccinated that we can protect only vaccinating all the others, preventing the circulation of the virus. Therefore, one who invokes the freedom of choice actually asks you to be free to behave in an irresponsible and damaging not only their children, but also those of others. Freedom is another thing"".

For other diseases, such a lower bound is given.Almost everyone have to prevent a disease for less and everyone is protected. This also applies to children who are not yet protected by vaccination, and in children where the vaccination is not working properly. They are therefore protected by the immunity of the group.Check here to see what's going on with the coverage in your city:Van Dijk explains that the public health services Drenthe, the pressure is in the enhancement of the coverage: ""Because of the number of parents for their children to be vaccinated over the past few years have decreased, we have developed a number of measures have been taken. So we are going smaller protected."" This should lead to improved vaccination coverage. ""This has something to do with the group. If you have children, all of them at the same time, is calling for the MMR vaccine, or HPV shot, then the chances are they urged not to go bigger,"" explains Van Dyke, of.In addition, it is used in education. ""We are having a lot of conversations with the parents. We want everyone to be aware of the importance of vaccination.""Sometimes, the decisions of parents for their children to be vaccinated. This may be for religious beliefs, or, as is becoming more and more common, as it is believed that there is a risk of sitting in the shot as well. In particular, under-educated parents, is the persistent rumor that the vaccinations are, for example, autism could cause. This is not true, research shows. The doctor who 'discovered' turned out to be a scammer too. He had the results of his thumb, sucking it and got the money from the lawyers who were working on a case against vaccine manufacturers.For the scientific magazine, in which the doctor study was published, the article was withdrawn. The doctor has been suspended and may be located in the united Kingdom, will never have to spend more for the health care professional. There have now been several studies into the alleged link between the MMR vaccine and autism. There is no evidence that this is the case, according to The board of Health.A common argument among the anti-vaxxers, such as those who are vaccination also refuse, however, to be mentioned, is that they are about the health of their children. If they pass the umbrella-principle , in which a certain coverage is necessary in case of, for example, measles, mumps, or rubella are to be prevented.The child then becomes ill, it is a risk that the parents of these children self-conscious to take. But even babies who are too young for vaccination, or for children who for health reasons cannot be vaccinated can be run by a low coverage rate, a greater risk of getting ill. Sometimes with very serious consequences. They are the most likely to be in hospital end up with, for example, pneumonia or meningitis, as a result of their infection with the measles.

Since the beginning of 2018 there have been over 41,000 cases and 37 deaths resulting from measles.  Measles cases continue to occur in Ireland. Since January 2018 there have been over 67 cases of measles diagnosed. We are aware of a number of cases of measles in adults and children in Dublin. Visit our hot topic for more information.  Most cases had not had MMR vaccine.  Measles is a highly infectious virus. The main features are fever, cough, red and painful eyes, and a rash. It can cause severe disease resulting in complications such as pneumonia and encephalitis and occasionally death. Although it is most common in young children, it can affect anyone at any age.  Vaccination with MMR vaccine is the only way to protect against measles.  Two doses of MMR vaccine are required to give the best protection. In Ireland, the first dose is given at 12 months by GPs and the second dose is given to Junior Infants in school by HSE vaccination teams or by GPs in Donegal, Sligo and Leitrim.  Travelling abroad?  All those travelling to Europe and other parts of the world where measles outbreaks are occurring should make sure they have had MMR vaccine.  What should adults and parents do?  Make sure you or your children are up to date with your MMR vaccines.  Please go to your GP for MMR vaccination if you are under 40 and have not had 2 doses of MMR. There is no change to the routine recommendations from the National Immunisation Advisory Committee (NIAC): MMR vaccine is recommended at 12 months and at 4-5 years of age.  However, MMR vaccine is recommended for children aged 6-11 months of age, travelling to other countries or regions where measles outbreaks are reported.  In most cases the MMR vaccine provides protection after 14 days.  The vaccine is available to healthcare professionals to order free of charge through the National Cold Chain Service.  NOTE: If MMR vaccine is given before 12 months of age, this dose is not counted as part of the childhood vaccination programme. MMR vaccine should be repeated at 12 months of age, at least one month after the first vaccine with a further dose at 4 - 5 years of age.  What about children under 6 months of age?  The MMR vaccine is not recommended before the age of 6 months for infants travelling to areas where there is a measles outbreak. The vaccine is not effective if given before 6 months of age.  What about children aged 12 months who have received one dose of MMR already?  Because of the ongoing surge in measles cases in many European countries it is now recommended that children travelling to Europe aged 12 months and older who have received one dose of MMR vaccine at 12 months should also receive a second dose at least 28 days after the first dose of MMR vaccine.  Ideally vaccination should be completed 2 weeks before travel.  What about Health Care Workers?  Health Care Workers (HCWs) in Ireland should have 2 doses of MMR vaccine. Two of the cases in recent outbreaks in Ireland were HCWs.

"5949","Mary Evans/Agf, Measles Is back to talk about measles, and this time from a source very authoritative, the World Health Organization. The figures from the WHO is clear: in 2017, the cases of measles in Europe have quadrupled, rising from 5273 2016 to more than 20,000. The victims were 35, a demonstration of the fact that the estimate of the lethality of measles in the ratio of 1/1000 infected is an estimate for the defect. If you look at the cases of measles from 2010 to 2017, Europe, 2017 is not the worse: a number of cases comparable or greater was also detected in previous years. But the 2016 marked a turning point with a significant decrease in cases who hoped to be well on the way to eradication. The data of 2017 have been a cold shower. In particular, care about the outbreaks sudden and extensive as the one that hit Romania, where it has been the worst epidemic of the last ten years. But Italy also had an increase of almost six times of the cases compared to the previous year (4991 against 865), placing it in second place as the number of infected in Europe. Pixabay Vaccination, inadequate immunization coverage Peaks in outbreaks of measles occur regularly: this is one of the characteristics of this virus, but since the introduction of vaccination campaigns in addition to a drop, sometimes even more than 90% of the total cases, there has been a reduction in the incidence of the peaks and an increase in periods of low virus circulation. But measles has not disappeared and continues to circulate, which also causes these outbreaks, for a very simple reason: we have not reached the immunization coverage required. The epidemics start historically from the child population, particularly of school age. For this reason, the obtaining and maintenance of vaccination coverage of 95% of this population would block the spread of the virus. Remember that the measles, if contracted in adulthood, has symptoms very much more acute and an increased risk of complications, even fatal. Vaccinating children protects adults as well. The data, however, are clear: in Italy, vaccination coverage national average fell from 90% in 2009 to 85% of 2015, to begin in 2016, with the slow ascent of settling, however, around 87%. It is not a coincidence, then, that in 2017 there has been an epidemic-it is the result of a decline in the immunization coverage of the six previous years. The difference between 90% and 85% seems little, but it represents a significant increase in the risk. That fateful 95% coverage recommended is out by a formula that estimates the percentage to immunize on the basis of the infectivity of the virus, the number of reproduction R. The measles has an R of estimated 15. The vaccination coverage of 90% protects against a virus with an R equal to 10. 85% of a viruses with R equal to 6. In other words, the decline from 90% to 85%, it means that we risk almost two times more to get sick. Simple math. As long as we remain below the optimal threshold, the virus will continue to circulate, but the strength and the frequency with which the hit will be all the greater, the more we can step back from the threshold of safety. Good news. The obligation of vaccination introduced with the new law in the first months of its application has allowed to ""recover"" about a third of those children who were not vaccinated during the years of the great decline (2011-15). We talk about tens of thousands of children. Just then with sterile polemics or, worse, false alarmism. The vaccines work. There is simply no time to lose in using them.

Striking is the high fine of up to 2500 euros is mainly: ""it's like in road traffic: Who endanger themselves and others by Driving too fast, as a fine, probation is also a matter of course, and that's true for measles in the same way."" We give the most important information on the danger of measles and the vaccination. What is measles is so dangerous? The infectious disease is one of the most contagious of all-Around 95 percent of the people who come up with the measles virus in contact, become ill afterwards. Even if a condition in the majority of cases, without complications comes to an end, it can be life-threatening. Because infection with the Virus prefers an immune deficiency, which lasts about six weeks – and the Affected receptive for other, more serious disorders such as bacterial infections or pneumonia. That's why Vaccination is under to parents so controversial About Vaccination among parents as controversial As is the history of measles and what the symptoms are? According to the German society for child and youth medicine (DGKJ) is an infection is extremely contagious, you can potentially even fatal. This could lead to a part only years later to an inflammation of the brain, for which there is no treatment and affected patients die in the medical society. Measles is usually transmitted by the Inhalation of droplets that contain the Virus. The droplets are brought on by coughing, Talking or Sneezing into circulation. After infection, fever, runny nose, or cough occurs. The symptoms of a measles infection are similar to other viral infections.

Of the infection and the appearance of the Rash, it takes about 13 to 14 days.

Photo: Michael Kappeler / dpa, The SPD had taken a vaccination for measles at the beginning of the year into the game. The health expert of the party, Karl Lauterbach, had been able to convince the Minister of health, Jens Spahn (CDU) quickly from his idea. The Federal Ministry of health welcomed the renewed debate on mandatory vaccination against measles. The political discussion had broken out among others because of a day-care centre in Essen takes up only vaccinated children. At a school in Hildesheim there was even an Ultimatum: An exclusive survey conducted by the opinion research Institute Civey on behalf of our editorial staff has revealed: What doctors say about vaccination against measles? The pediatrician and vaccination expert, Martin Terhardt said in an Interview in the year 2016, it is given in the vaccination of children successes. ""The much larger issue is actually the older Generation, where we have much larger gaps than in small children. The mothers need to give the children a good nest protection and your protection against pregnancy, take care of.“, Terhardt said. How to argue with opponents? Opponents or skeptics argue, for example, that many vaccinations, the immune system of children would be overloaded or that side effects were unpredictable. Opponents argue about for years a connection between the standard vaccination against measles-Mumps-rubella and the development of autism. They rely on an article by the British doctor Andrew Wakefield in 1998 published in the prestigious journal ""The Lancet"". The journal withdrew the study in 2010 because of incorrect data, Wakefield lost in the UK, his medical license due to unethical behavior. However, his claims fall on fertile ground. However, the fear of autism is only an Argument of Impfgegnern. This shows an analysis by researchers at the University of Pittsburgh. Many opponents distrust scientists in General and Doctors in Particular. Others reject the content stuff of vaccinations and propagate Homöpathie. Others argue that governments or other organisations to keep information about the dangers of vaccination back. The Robert Koch-Institute has compiled a list of answers to the 20 most common arguments in the vaccination-skeptics. The Argument that too many vaccinations are harmful, let experts do not apply. As an ""Inoculation"" did not exist. What is the current vaccination situation in Germany? A single detection of the number of vaccinations, there is not according to the Robert Koch-Institute in Germany. Therefore, health organisations and researchers on the samples dependent. An exception to this is the school entrance examinations, where the vaccination Coverage of children entering School since 2001, is systematically under-reported form. In the year 2018, the RKI reported that the vaccination Coverage for the first vaccination at School in the previous year for the first Time in all of the länder, more than 95 percent. Jens Spahn is playing with the idea to change the health care system. Who wants to inform the rest of the abroad about measles outbreaks, this can App with a. Why are gaps to be dangerous? The stated aim of the WTO is to eliminate measles worldwide. This is not considered to be reached as soon as a ongoing infection from human-to-human is possible. Because the Virus can exist as long as there are infected and diseased people. They form the natural Reservoir of the pathogen. Therefore, the second vaccination is necessary. Because after the first syringe, only 90 to 95 percent of recipients, according to RKI protected until the second dose give almost perfect protection.

"5948","The measles virus is like the 'reset' key to our immune system: it clears the memory sweeping away up to 73% of the antibodies that defend you from other diseases like influenza, herpes, and pneumonia. This 'amnesia ' immune', that can last months, has been documented for the first time in a group of 77 Dutch children's non-vaccinated, at the centre of two international studies published in the journals Science and Science Immunology. As pointed out by the same researchers, the results demonstrate that ""measles is more dangerous than we imagined"" and that ""the vaccine has benefits even greater than expected"", since that can also protect from secondary infections to the disease. Their vaccination has broken down to 80% of the cases of measles in the world between 2000 and 2017, saving 2.1 million of lives, but because of the most recent campaigns, no-vax, the trend was reversed, so that the number of cases from 2018 to the present day is increased by 300%. Also Italy is experiencing this phenomenon: according to the latest report of the Institute of Health, are 1.596 cases of measles reported from the first of January to the 30 of September 2019, with death from respiratory complications in an adult of 45 years old is not vaccinated and with concomitant diseases. Assess the impact of vaccination was the aim of the study was published on Science from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute in Boston with the Harvard Medical School and the Erasmus University Medical Center Rotterdam. The researchers used the test VirScan to analyze children's blood and measure the levels of thousands of antibodies directed against viruses and bacteria. The examination, made before the measles, and two months after the infection, revealed that the disease clears from 11 to 73% of the defenses antibody. The same test is repeated on the macaques first of the measles and five months after the infection, has confirmed the loss of 40-60% of the antibodies. Complementary results were obtained from the second study, published in Science, Immunology from the british Wellcome Sanger Institute with the University of Amsterdam. Always conducted on the same group of 77 children protestant orthodox non-vaccinated, shows that the measles due to the loss of specific cells of the immune memory, leaving the children vulnerable as infants are unable to respond to new infections. The effects of this temporary amnesia immune responses have been tested on ferrets vaccinated against the flu: a time affected by the measles have lost most of their antibodies, so as to become again susceptible to the flu, with symptoms even more severe. This proves, therefore, that measles can also erase the effects of the vaccinations done against other infectious diseases, and therefore, the researchers suggest doctors to strengthen the defences of the patients healed from measles by the recalls of the vaccines routinely administered previously. © Reproduction reserved",220,"italy"
"21615","Image copyright SPL Image caption Unvaccinated young children are at highest risk of contracting measles  Europe has seen a big surge in measles cases in 2017, which the World Health Organization says is a tragedy after a record low of 5,273 cases in 2016.  Cases increased four-fold, with more than 20,000 people affected and 35 deaths.  Fifteen European region countries, including the UK, had large outbreaks. Measles cases were highest in Romania, Italy and Ukraine.  People shunning vaccination is part of the problem, say experts.  Although research published 20 years ago about a possible link between the MMR vaccine and autism has been discredited, the scare it created damaged some people's trust of the vaccine.  Measles is a highly infectious viral illness that can be deadly.  The MMR vaccine can prevent it.  More of our most-read stories:  The WHO says there have been declines in overall routine immunisation coverage, as well as consistently low coverage among some marginalised groups and interruptions in vaccine supply or underperforming disease surveillance systems.  Dr Zsuzsanna Jakab, from the WHO, said: ""Every new person affected by measles in Europe reminds us that unvaccinated children and adults, regardless of where they live, remain at risk of catching the disease and spreading it to others who may not be able to get vaccinated.  ""This short-term setback cannot deter us from our commitment to be the generation that frees our children from these diseases once and for all.""  The UK saw 282 cases in 2017, linked to the continuing outbreak in Europe.  The UK recently achieved WHO measles elimination status, meaning that for the past few years the number of cases has been low enough to stop the disease circulating around the country.  The overall risk of measles to the UK population is low, but due to ongoing measles outbreaks in Europe, cases in unimmunised individuals and limited onward spread can occur.  A few weeks ago, Public Health England warned about measles cases in several regions of England.  At the end of January 2018, there were 51 confirmed cases in the West Midlands.  Image copyright SPL  The vaccine is given as two doses to very young children as part of the NHS childhood vaccination programme.  Adults and older children can be vaccinated at any age if they have not been fully immunised before.  To prevent outbreaks, WHO says 95% of the population should be immunised. In the UK, coverage was 91.6% among young children in 2016-17.  Measles symptoms include a runny nose, sneezing and cough, sore, red eyes, a high temperature and, after a few days, a red-brown blotchy rash.  Why are measles rates so high?  The main reason behind the sharp rise in measles cases is low immunisation coverage, the WHO says. They say a lack of coverage increases the risk of the virus spreading when it is brought in from abroad.  But some European countries have seen an exceptionally high increase in rates.  Romania is fighting its worst measles outbreak in decades. There were more than 5,500 cases last year, partly due to a shortage of the vaccine and poor healthcare facilities. It is also thought that the country's large Roma population, who often live in severe poverty, are at particular risk of contracting and spreading the virus.  Italy had the second highest number of measles cases in Europe last year.  In recent years, a loose group of campaigners against vaccinations, dubbed the anti-vax movement, has dissuaded Italians from opting in to immunisations by citing supposed risks. In response, the government ruled that children must be vaccinated against 12 common illnesses before they can enrol for state-run schools.  This law is one of the key issues in the upcoming March 4 elections and some people are calling for it to be scrapped.  Ukraine is also struggling with a measles outbreak, with almost 5,000 cases recorded in 2017. The WHO says countries that are experiencing conflict are at an increased risk of measles due to damaged health services and infrastructure.  Measles cases across Europe in 2017",220,"uk"

Rahila said that the disease first appeared among the Gypsies in the North-West of Romania in 2016. According to him, the strain of the disease is foreign to Romania, but common in Italy. About 13 700 people in Romania, caught measles, since, as the epidemic broke in 2016, and 55 people died, only one of which was insured, according to the National center oversight division and control of infectious diseases.

He said the president of the Health Commission of the Marche Fabrizio Ferreira, who is a doctor, in commenting on the case of the midwife service at the department of Obstetrics and Gynecology of the Hospital of senigallia, which has contracted the measles, by not being vaccinated. ""At a national level - remember Volpini - about 30% of the cases of measles that have been reported concerning health care staff is not vaccinated. For this, one is studying a measure that will allow the health care staff is not vaccinated and access to vaccination"". In the case of Senigallia, controlled ""promptly"" from the staff of the different organizational structures of Large Area (2 of Asur, indicates, underlines Volpini, such as the epidemic of measles is still active in Italy, and is in need of attention and of the awareness of all citizens that vaccination ""is an indispensable tool for not put you at risk of serious consequences, in particular those most vulnerable, in this case pregnant women and newborns."" Here, according to the Region, the need for parents to adhere to the new legislation that makes it obligatory, among other, also the vaccination for measles for their children. ""It is an essential tool to prevent the circulation of the virus and then protect the entire population, even those that cannot be vaccinated, such as babies"". BURIONI: EPISODES SERIOUS, that's WHY The doctor and popularizer Roberto Burioni explained: ""This midwife was sick over the weekend after Ferragosto: in the earlier days - while not feeling well - it was highly infectious and therefore can transmit the infection to the people she met. In concrete terms, who is sick with the measles infected over 90% of the susceptible individuals in contact with it. But with those who came into contact? Here is the second part of the problem. A midwife usually has to do with pregnant women. The measles, contracted during pregnancy, it is a possibility serious that can lead to dramatic consequences for the fetus. If one of the pregnant women with whom you come in contact with has contracted the infection, in this moment, along with the child she bears in her womb, is in serious danger.",219,"italy"

It should be noted that the measles is spread extremely easily from person to person through droplets in the breath. Adults born after 1970 in Greece, you must either confirm their immunity to measles, mumps and rubella, or have a clear history of 2 doses of MMR vaccine. According to the data for the MMR vaccine, the specific vaccine is in 2 doses, injected under the skin or in muscle, with an interval of 4-6 weeks. If one dose of the vaccine has been administered in the past at the age of >12 months, then you may be given an extra dose at any time. I don't need to repeat all of the shape. The vaccine contains live, attenuated viruses of measles, mumps and rubella. Who needs to be vaccinated with the MMR health professionals of all disciplines as well as volunteers who have contact with patients and were born after 1975 in Greece, you should have received 2 doses of the vaccine to have full protection. Also, the health professionals are not immune and have been exposed to measles, rubella, or mumps(mumps) can make the MMR vaccine within 72 hours of exposure to prevent the onset of symptoms. In addition, individuals who are immunocompromised due to disease or medication have an increased risk of complications and may require administration of prepared antibodies for the prevention of the disease. End exposed pregnant health care professionals should not receive the MMR vaccine but only ready-made antibodies (<U+03B1><U+03BD><U+03BF><U+03C3><U+03C6><U+03B1><U+03B9><U+03C1><U+03AF><U+03BD><U+03B7>). The effectiveness of the MMR vaccine, THE first dose of the vaccine is at age 12 months or later and provides: 95% coverage of measles 80% coverage of the mumps 90% coverage from the red, probably forever. The two doses <U+03C7><U+03BF><U+03C1><U+03B7><U+03B3><U+03B7>µ<U+03AD><U+03BD><U+03B5><U+03C2> with an interval of 4-6 weeks between them provide: 99,7% protection from measles, which can be reduced over time. 80%-95% protection against mumps, which gradually decreases over time. What we know about the diseases and The systematic use of the vaccine for the measles in the 60's led to a >99% reduction in the number of cases until 2001. Since they appear regularly important epidemics in many countries of the European Union, with a peak in 2011 reported >30.000 cases. In Greece, the last major measles epidemic was recorded between 2010-2011 with a total of 189 cases of both populations of Roma, as well as in young Greek adults and health care professionals. The red continues to appear in many countries of the European Union every year, while the years 2012-2013 large epidemics were reported in Poland. The mumps also still appears in the countries of the European Union often. Indeed, during the years 2001-2008 were reported 950.000 cases. In Greece reported a small number of cases of mumps, with the last outbreak recorded in 2002 with 156 cases. What to look for measles symptoms are usually cough, runny nose, red eyes and fever. The incubation period is 10-12 days, while the rash usually appears 14 days after infection and 2-4 days after the initial symptoms and spreads from the head to the rest of the body. Infants, malnourished children and patients in remission have worse prognosis. And according to scientists, generally the adults are at increased risk for complications compared with children. For measles there is no specific treatment, only supportive care. What to look for rubella The incubation period is 12-13 days. It manifests with a rash, swollen lymph nodes, pain in joints and arthritis (mostly in women), infection of the upper respiratory tract and sometimes mild fever. According to experts, a 20%-50% of cases may remain asymptomatic. The red has serious consequences if you insult pregnant women in the early stages of pregnancy, because it would lead to severe damage to the fetus (eyes, heart, brain), causing the congenital rubella syndrome. Also, there is no special treatment and need permanent supportive care. What to look for mumps (mumps) is Manifested by swollen salivary glands, fever, headache, pain in muscles and joints, and loss of appetite. 20%-30% of patients may not demonstrate any symptoms. The incubation period is 12-15 days, but can be 16-18 days. Treatment there is no as in previous diseases, and deserves only supportive care. The risks from measles 1-3/1.000 cases of measles is likely to die. More often it occurs in immunocompromised patients, preschoolers or malnourished children. Also in the 7-9% causes otitis media Another risk is the spasm in The 1-6% gets pneumonia 8% make diarrhea Inflammation of the brain (1/1.000-2.000 cases), which leads to neurological damage Inflammation of the spinal cord, leading to paralysis, what most of the times, temporary.

And as I said above, the adults are at increased risk for complications. The risks of mumps, 25%-50% of men after puberty does inflammation of the testes, while 5% of women after puberty do inflammation of the ovaries. Also, causes inflammation such as arthritis, myocarditis, pancreatitis, thyroiditis, glomerulonephritis, transverse myelitis in Addition, encephalitis, <U+03C0><U+03B1><U+03C1><U+03B1><U+03B3><U+03BA><U+03B5><U+03C6><U+03B1><U+03BB><U+03AF><U+03C4><U+03B9><U+03B4><U+03B1> or meningitis <10% Inflammation of the auditory nerve that can lead to deafness (1/3.000-1/20.000) Finally, it causes mastitis while, and again the adults have more increased risk of complications. The risks of rubella, Febrile convulsions, otitis media, vomiting, diarrhea, pneumonia are some of them. Also 1/6.000 can do encephalitis (inflammation of the brain), and also, 1/3.000 thrombocytopenia (reduction of blood cells involved in clotting. Risks from the MMR vaccine The most frequent and more mild, that occur within 6-14 days is a fever (up to 1/6 doses), mild rash in 5%, and enlarged lymph nodes (1/75 doses). Moderate risks include febrile convulsions (1/3.000 doses in infants), transient pain in the joints at a 25% or arthritis in a 10% (mainly in the small peripheral joints in teenage girls and adult females 7-21 days after vaccination). In addition a transient decrease in platelets that help in clotting of the blood (1/30.000 doses). The serious risks which according to experts is from rare to very rare concerning the transient pain in the limbs, inflammation of the testicles or of the brain or of the meninges and itching.

"2310","A very strong increase. Measles is back in France and the health authorities were concerned about that clearly... We learned this week of the death of a young thirty year old at the CHU of Poitiers as a result of measles, and this disease, rather well-known in children, is also quite present in the Centre-Val de Loire these past few weeks, in particular, in the Indre-et-Loire (which is understandable given that the main French home is in New Aquitaine). This Wednesday afternoon, the Regional Agency of Health reports that 18 reporting of measles have been recorded since 1 January, including 13 alone in the Indre-et-Loire as from 1 August 2016 to 31 July 2017 in a single case had been treated in the department and even in the region as a whole, the difference is, therefore, particularly significant. ""Measles is an infectious disease highly contagious. An infected person can infect 15 to 20 people in case of low level of immunization in the entourage. However, this disease can present severe forms (respiratory failure, neurological complications may be irreversible) requiring hospitalization and that may lead to the death of the patient in the most severe cases,"" says the LRA. The measles vaccination is compulsory since the 1st of January for children born in 2018, so far, the bite was only strongly recommended. 88% of children in the region had received. ""The Directorate general of Health invites all persons not vaccinated or who have doubts about their vaccination status to check their doctor for a possible update of their immunizations.

"5146","MEASLES CAN CAUSE long-term damage to the immune system – resetting it to a baby-like state and leaving people vulnerable to other infections, scientists have said.  According to new research, the measles virus deletes part of the immune system’s memory, removing previous immunity to other infections in both humans and ferrets.  Research from the Wellcome Sanger Institute, University of Amsterdam and their collaborators showed that the disease resets the human immune system to an immature state with only limited ability to respond to new infections.  Published in the journal Science Immunology, the study explains why children often catch other infectious diseases after measles.  Scientists said the research has great implications for public health, as falling vaccination rates are resulting in rising cases of measles.  They said this in turn could cause an increase in cases of other dangerous infections such as flu, diphtheria or tuberculosis, even in people who were previously immune.  Dr Velislava Petrova, lead author from the Wellcome Sanger Institute and Cambridge University, said: “This study is a direct demonstration in humans of ‘immunological amnesia’, where the immune system forgets how to respond to infections encountered before.  “We show that measles directly causes the loss of protection to other infectious diseases.”  The study  To see what measles does to the immune system, researchers looked at a group of unvaccinated people in the Netherlands.  They took blood samples from healthy volunteers, who were followed up from repeat sampling after a measles outbreak in 2013.  The researchers sequenced antibody genes from 26 children both before and 40-50 days after their measles infection.  Specific immune memory cells that had been built up against other diseases, and were present before the measles virus infection, had disappeared from the children’s blood, scientists found.  This “immunological amnesia” was then tested in ferrets, showing that infection with a measles-like virus reduced the level of flu antibodies in the animals that had been previously vaccinated against flu.  Researchers also found that the measles virus resets the immune system to an immature state which can only make a limited repertoire of antibodies against disease.  Professor Colin Russell, senior author from the University of Amsterdam, said: “For the first time we see that measles resets the immune system and it becomes more baby-like, limiting how well it can respond to new infections.  “In some children the effect is so strong it is similar to being given powerful immunosuppressive drugs.  “Our study has huge implications for vaccination and public health as we show that not only does measles vaccination protect people from measles, but also protects from other infectious diseases.”  Second study  In a separate study published in the Science journal, researchers used a tool called VirScan to analyse the responses of antibodies in 77 unvaccinated children aged four to 17 before and after measles infection.  The technology tracks antibodies to thousands of viral and microbial antigens in the blood.  Led by investigators at Harvard Medical School, Brigham and Women’s Hospital and the Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health, scientists found the disease wiped out 11% to 73% of the antibody repertoire across individuals two months after measles infection.  Professor Michael Mina said: “Imagine that your immunity against pathogens is like carrying around a book of photographs of criminals, and someone punched a bunch of holes in it.  “It would then be much harder to recognise that criminal if you saw them, especially if the holes are punched over important features for recognition, like the eyes or mouth.”  Professor Mina and colleagues found those who survive measles gradually regain their previous immunity to other viruses and bacteria as they get re-exposed to them.  However, because this process may take months to years, people remain vulnerable in the meantime to serious complications of those infections.  Vaccination  In the late 1960s a highly effective measles vaccine was introduced in the UK, and in 2017 the disease had been completely eliminated from the country.  However, measles is highly contagious and cases are rising again, with the UK’s vaccination uptake dropping below the required level of 95% of the population.  This led to the UK losing its World Health Organisation (WHO) measles elimination status in August.  In recent months, concerns have been raised about the possibility of Ireland losing its measles-free status given the recent spike in cases here.  The WHO defines measles elimination as the absence of the illness circulating, high vaccine coverage, and a robust process to identify cases.  In the first quarter of 2019, there were 231 confirmed cases of measles in England and Wales. There were 991 confirmed cases last year, a jump from 284 cases in 2017. Most cases are linked to travel in Europe, where many countries have experienced measles outbreaks.  Ireland has also seen an increase in cases in recent years. The number of cases here tripled from 25 in 2017 to 77 in 2018.  There have been 56 reported cases to date in 2019 – 33 of which have been confirmed.  Most cases in Ireland to date this year were among children, however there were 17 cases among people aged 20-44. Thirty-one cases involved males and 25 cases related to females.  In Ireland, all children are entitled to, and advised to, get the MMR vaccine at the age of 12 months. They are supposed to get a second dose when four or five (in junior infants). Adults who are not sure if they received the vaccine as a child are advised to contact their GP to check and discuss getting a booster if needed.  The uptake rate for the MMR vaccine in Ireland is 90.1% – below the HSE’s goal of 95%, the level needed for herd immunity.  TheJournal.ie explored the issue in a previous episode of The Explainer podcast:  Source: The Explainer/SoundCloud  MEASLES: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW  How to recognise the symptoms?  High fever  Cough  Runny nose  Red eyes  Red rash that starts on the head and spreads down the body – this normally starts a few days after onset of illness; the rash consists of flat red or brown blotches, which can flow into each other; it lasts about four to seven days  Vomiting, diarrhoea and tummy pain may also happen  Measles can cause chest infections, fits (seizures), ear infections, swelling of the brain and/or damage to the brain.  The Department of Health gives the following advice in relation to the MMR vaccine:  All children should get the MMR vaccine when they are aged 12 months; if any child aged over 12 months has missed this vaccine they should get it now from their GP  All children should get a second dose of MMR vaccine when they are four to five years old or in junior infants at school; if any child in senior infants or older has missed this vaccine they should get it now from their GP  Adults under 40 years who have not had measles or have not received two doses of MMR vaccine should contact their GP to get the MMR vaccine  Adults over 40 years of age may sometimes be at risk and if such adults never had measles nor a measles-containing vaccine they should consider getting the MMR vaccine from their GP  What advice does the HSE give to people who think they might have measles?  Do not go to work, school or creche  Stay at home and phone your GP – tell the doctor or nurse that you think you might have measles  Stop visitors coming to your home  Pregnant women who have been exposed to measles should seek medical advice as soon as possible  With reporting by Hayley Halpin",218,"ireland"
"12613","Attention! if you are between 40 and 50 years old, you can be at risk of contracting the measles virus. This disease seemed eradicated in recent times for the calendar of vaccinations falls back to a be of today. The reason is clear: there are parents who have chosen not to vaccinate their children and thus the virus gets to be present. In the program ""Herrera in Malaga"", dr. Peter Navarro, pediatrician, expert in vaccines and vice-president of the College of Physicians of Malaga explains how it is spreading a disease that seemed to be eradicated: ""The measles are coming to Spain from outside. There is a last large outbreak of the measles virus in Germany, Italy and France and in countries of the East. If these children come to Spain, we spread the measles to the population is not vaccinated. We talk about people between 40 and 50 years who were not immunized,"" explains the doctor. We are therefore talking about people born between 1970 and 1980. However, there are people who don't know if charters vaccinated against this disease or if you have suffered from the measles virus. To this question the recommendation of health is clear: ""If you don't remember if you vacunaste you can do an analysis for deterctarlo or if you can't vaccinate freely. If you vacunaste and you have already done it before nothing happens again to get vaccinated, the side effects are minimal.Before the doubt there was to be vaccinated."", explains dr. Navarro. The effects of measles at older ages can be serious:""All the viral diseases can have serious consequences such as glue ear that result in deafness or encephalitis severe that can be present up to 5 or 7 years after developing the disease"", From the Ministry of Health is not going to make any special campaign because, in the words of dr. Navarro: ""it's Not going to call the population itself because it would generate an alarm unnecessary, yes you are going to report from health centers, both pediatricians as family physicians"". So when in doubt, it is best to return to get vaccinated and avoid passing the measles, a virus that seemed to be eradicated in our country, and present again.",218,"spain"

Europe has seen a surge in cases since 2018, with around 90,000 cases reported for the first half of 2019 – already more than that recorded in the whole of the previous year (84,462).  It comes as WHO said misinformation about vaccines, particularly that shared on social media, is as contagious and dangerous as the diseases it helps to spread.  Dr Gunter Pfaff, chair of the RVC, said: “Re-establishment of measles transmission is concerning.  “If high immunisation coverage is not achieved and sustained in every community, both children and adults will suffer unnecessarily and some will tragically die.”  Professor Martin Marshall, vice-chairman of the Royal College of GPs, said the findings were “disheartening”.  “While take-up of the MMR vaccination across the UK are still high, it is not high enough, and we have actually seen a small decline in recent years,” he said.

In 2018, in fact, increase of 1,38%, compared to the previous year, the coverage for the first dose of vaccine against measles, mumps and rubella, but stops at 93,2%, compared to 95% needed to eliminate the disease. Bolzano has a coverage of less than 90%. This is according to new data from the Ministry of Health who states: “it Continues to be a cause for concern the failure to achieve the target of 95%, despite the trend in the increase”. Are increased, in 2018, the vaccination coverage of children and adolescents in Italy with respect to the 2017. But it continues to be a cause for concern the failure to achieve the target of 95% for vaccination against measles, mumps and rubella in all age groups considered, despite the trend in increase. It is, as is evident from the data 2018, prepared by the Directorate general of health prevention of the ministry of Health. In most of the Regions the coverage to 24 months of age against polio (used as an indicator for the vaccinations contained in the chromium) exceeds the minimum threshold recommended by the world health Organisation, 95%, and two Regions (Valle d'aosta P. A. Trento) are next to the lens, remain, however, four Regions (Friuli Venezia Giulia, Marche, Sicily and the Veneto) with a coverage below the threshold, and the P. A. Bolzano with a cover (83,33) still far from the target. National coverage at 24 months (for children born in 2016) against polio reached 95% (95,09%), gaining a 0,48% compared to 2017, and with 14 Regions that exceed the 95% and 2 approach (Vda and Trento). While the coverage for the first dose of vaccine against measles comes only to the 93,22% (with a 1,38% compared to the previous year) in relation to the 95% needed to eliminate the disease, while the P. A. Bolzano has a coverage of less than 90%. They will also increase the coverage for vaccination, anti-pneumococcal ( 0,73%: 91,63% in 2018 compared to 90,90% in 2017) and anti-meningococcal C ( 2,29%: 84,93% in 2018 compared 82.64% in 2017).

With regard to vaccinations in pre-school children, generally administered at 5-6 years of age (children born in the year of 2011), there is a, from 2.01% for the fourth dose of anti-polio (90,71% in 2018 compared to 88,69% in 2017) and 3,47% for the second dose (cycle complete) of anti-measles (89,20% in 2018 compared to 85,74% in 2017).

The charity Unicef says vaccination rates are plummeting, with inaccurate and misleading anti-vaccination messages on social media thought to be among the reasons.  Public Health England figures show that between April 2010 and December 2018, 2,326 Wiltshire children had not received their first vaccination against measles, mumps and rubella by the age of five.  Two jabs are required by the age of five to provide full immunity, and a further 2,847 children did not receive the second jab.  It means that the overall vaccination rate over the period was 89.6% , significantly below the 95% the World Health Organisation says is needed to prevent the disease spreading in the community, and leaving a total of 5,173 children without full protection against measles.  CHILDREN ACROSS THE GLOBE AT RISK:  Unicef’s analysis estimated that 169 million children around the world missed out on the first dose of the measles vaccine between 2010 and 2017 – an average of 21.1 million a year.  More than half a million of them were thought to be in the UK.

The ONB does not say so explicitly, but these are the same arguments of the free-vax who say that measles is a disease that is just that we all have taken and that has no complications or consequences. In short, we can also do not vaccinate, the more so that, if you contract measles, you are immunized for life. Sin, instead, that the complications of measles are in fact rather severe, much more severe than the adverse reactions from the vaccine. Dulcis in fundo, the ONB also cites a “study” of professor Paolo Bellavite, who believes that it is “scientifically plausible” that autism is caused by vaccinations, which puts into question the idea that with over six thousand cases in two years in Italy there is some epidemic of measles. The conspiracy of the pharmaceutical lobbyists, And it is true, as he writes the Order, that the national Institute of Health writes that complications are relatively rare.

The complications are mainly due to super-infections, bacterial: otitis media, laryngitis, diarrhea, pneumonia or encephalitis (inflammation of the brain)"". The article in the Order of Biologists, however, comes to the rescue of the many free-vax that before the news of the data from the newspapers were almost starting to doubt the story that the measles transmitted by the vaccinated, and not from the non-vaccinated. Are the pharmaceutical lobbyists, in cahoots with the journalists (now it is fashionable to blame the newspapers), to make us believe that measles is dangerous or that in Bari there is some problem. We all know that measles does not hurt anyone and that “the key is to keep the children warm”. The fault of the newspapers, explain some of the free-vax, now the measles is like the bubonic plague, Aids (which doesn't exist according to some doctors free-vax) or knows what. There is someone, they suspect the free-vax, which “weaves every month news mystified” that only the providential intervention of the Order of Biologists has allowed us to unmask.

Distribution of measles cases by department in the last three months, according to the regional agency of health. / © ARS at the origin of this ""epidemic,"" an outbreak has been detected in a primary school and kindergarten in the Var with 17 cases, including 6 confirmed and 11 probable in a month. The first of which was declared on 14 February, the last on the 13th of march. Three patients have been hospitalized. A single patient was vaccinated with the 2 doses. What concerns the LRA, it is that several of the patients began their illness abroad. This is the likely spread of measles in countries free of the disease for several years, including in Costa Rica. It is also in the same period, between 3 and 17 march, that, in the Alpes-de-Haute-Provence. There, 6 patients, including 1 confirmed and 5 probable cases.Two people were hospitalized. One of them has developed a lung disease as a result of his measles. None of the patients was vaccinated. Two patients residing in the paris region and who have attended the station have also been reported. So far, the Paca region is not the most affected in France. According to the latest monitoring bulletin weekly of the LRA, it is the region of Auvergne-Rhône-Alps more concerned with a record number of 55 cases. Who is most affected ? And why ? In Provence-Alpes-Côte d'azur, it is mostly children that are affected. Measles remains a disease primarily of children. The most affected are children under the age of one year, with more than 8 out of 10 cases, because they have not yet had all of the injections of the vaccine, explained the ARS. Then come those between the ages of one to four, nearly 1 in 2. Recommendations of vaccine recommend a first injection at 12 months and then a second at 18 months. The other part of the population at risk, non-immune pregnant women. Develop measles may have an impact on the development of the fetus. What is the rate of measles cases as a function of age ? Here are the figures provided by the regional agency of health. / © ARS measles had (almost) disappeared, why this return ? Measles was a fatal disease prior to the arrival of the vaccination. At worst, she killed each year several hundred people. In the best case, thousands of children in guarded neurologic sequelae. The vaccination introduced in 1960 in a decline in the epidemic until almost the eradicate, in 2006 and 2007 with more than forty cases only in France. Until the 1990s, the recommendations were of a single injection, now it is two. Many adults have received only one dose and are not fully protected against measles, which took the opportunity to make his return. Between 2008 and 2011, 23,000 cases were reported of which 15, 000 for the single year 2011. In three years, measles has caused more than 900 pneumopathies graves, 26 encephalitis, and 10 deaths. If the measles outbreak is on the decline since 2012, the virus is not eradicated and is still spreading especially in the south-east of France. The LRA indicates that 93% of the cases relate to topics that are not or poorly vaccinated. 58 departments are involved in at least one case of measles reported since the beginning of the year 2019. Of the 405 patients, registered in France, 127 were hospitalized. 34 have led to lung disease and one person died of encephalitis. Y-a-t-il a decrease of the vaccination ? This is one of the explanations advanced. The investigation conducted by the ARS around the cases of measles highlights of cases grouped in communities which are incompletely or not vaccinated. It is here that is born the epidemics, because of the low immunization coverage. Since 2011, the immunization schedule recommends one injection at 12 months, and then a second about 16-18 months. The two doses will be reimbursed at 100% by health insurance up to age 17. The vaccination is not done before one year of age, because toddlers can have maternal antibodies that neutralize the vaccine and make it ineffective. In France, around 90% of children 2 years of age have received at least one dose. The health authorities would like to see 95% of children 2 years of age should have received the 1st dose of the vaccine, and that 80 % have had two. At the age of 6, 90 % of children should have received two doses. It is a vaccine without booster. Vaccine compulsory at school ? For all ? Required not really. Until January 1, 2018, the MMR vaccine (that's his name, it treats measles, mumps and rubella) was just recommended and not mandatory. Many children returned to the nursery and primary school have not been vaccinated. It is only since a year that the MMR vaccine is part of the 11 vaccines mandatory for school children. For children who are not vaccinated until January 2018, there is no obligation to be vaccinated. But given the situation, there is a very strong recommendation on the part of the ARS. ""When an infectious person is in contact with non-vaccinated individuals, the epidemic spreads very quickly. This is what happened last year in a box of vaccine coverage low in the north-east of France"", explains Dr. Christine Ortmans, a doctor at the sleep and health security to the ARS PACA. On the other hand, ""if the infectious person is in contact with people vaccinated, the epidemic does not."" QED. Incubation time and contamination of the measles ? The development of the disease is rather insidious, "" explains Christine Ortmans. ""The incubation period is 7 to 18 days and during this time no sign is visible."" ""The infected patient becomes contagious 5 days before rash and 5 days after"". Especially, measles is a highly contagious disease, much more than the flu. ""It can be spread to a fifteen or even twenty people in contrast to influenza which infects approximately 2 to 3 people,"" says Christine Ortmans. The symptoms are, for three to four days, a high fever, with cough, irritation in eye with sensitivity to light and a runny nose. In a second stage, a rash occurs with small red spots. First on the face, and then behind the ears before spreading over the whole body. This phase lasts four to five days. Good news, if you have had measles once, you are immune. And for the adults ? Adults can be vaccinated if one has never been vaccinated against measles. This is the same protocol of care for the children. It takes two injections to be protected. With a warning to those who would otherwise hesitate for fear of the sting : as with all childhood diseases, when it develops in adults, they tend to be much more virulent. Measles can kill ? In some cases yes. A person has died as a result of measles, a case of encephalitis. And there was also a precedent in Nice, where a teenager of 16 years died of complications. Because that is all the danger. Measles can cause severe complications, such as pneumonia, deafness, or encephalitis, up to the death. Hospitalization is done in a third of cases. In infants of less than one year and in more than 20 years, measles is particularly severe. Patients over the age of 15 are hospitalized in one of the cases. It is rather rare in France, tempers, however the ARS.",213,"france"

Measles are dangerous? Yes, measles can be dangerous. In the world die every day, approximately 400 children from measles. Many parents go to the kids doctor. There, the children get a measles-protection-vaccination. It works like this: The doctor gives the children a syringe with a weak measles virus. Another word for virus: disease-causing organisms. The body of the child to combat the pathogens. In the process of the body's defensive forces against the measles virus forms. The child may not develop after measles protection, vaccination of measles. Do not trust the vaccination, Some parents are opposed to the measles-protection-vaccination.

Often there is dispute about whether the protection of vaccination against measles is good or bad. What is the children's doctor Christof Metzler in the taz says talk to the battle? Christof Metzler finds the measles protection, vaccination is important. He has several reasons to this. He says: Yes, the measles protection, vaccination can have side effects. A kind of measles disease can break out. But this is only a weak disease, and is very rare. Without the protection of vaccination, you will get more to measles. And then the measles disease is stronger and more dangerous. Measles, for example, has this consequence: lungs-inflammation. Nevertheless, some Doctors in Germany are against measles vaccination. Approximately 3 out of every 100 Doctors are against it. Christof Metzler doesn't understand these Doctors. He says: The measles protection, vaccination is important. Because measles can be lethal for children. A further criticism of the measles vaccination, A further criticism against the measles protection, vaccination is this: children get in the first life-years in the protection of vaccinations. Because it is also against many other diseases, there is a protective vaccine. These include rubella, Hepatitis B, flu, chicken pox or Mumps include, for example:.

What are these truths, is reminiscent of Walter Ricciardi, President of the Institute of health. ""Science is inexorable in its predictive ability. Each of the eight cases of measles, an ear infection, every 15 to pneumonia, each 1500 an encephalitis, and every three thousand dead"". ""As a doctor and director general of the Agency of medication – he is echoed by Mario Melazzini – I would like to say that the child died today of measles should be a moment of common reflection. Out of respect for him, which in six years has stopped living because fighting against the leukemia, could not be vaccinated and is a victim, obviously, the lack of the so-called immunity of the flock"". EDIT: would Not have been the little brothers to infect with measles the child profile similar to leukemia died at the San Gerardo hospital of Monza. It has supported the primary of the pediatric clinic of the University of milano-Bicocca, Andrea Biondi, interviewed by Sky Tg24. The brothers, according to what is learned also, I would have had the measles from the children, in times that are not compatible with the contagion of the small victim. It was written that the child would be infected by the brethren. “That's simply not true. His only protection – and reiterates the doctor it would be the immunity of the flock”. But immunization rates have fallen dangerously in Italy, where cases of measles from 1 January to over 3000. The baby was infected in mid-march, and his condition has progressively worsened. For a child with the disease “measles is particularly insidious,” recalls the expert.

"5965","Last updated: May 6, 11:54 ""We are in the middle of the epidemic of measles, the world looks at us confused and with alarm. I wouldn't mind if these numbers occurred a death,"" said Walter Ricciardi, president of the national Institute of Health. In Italy the debate on the misinformation related to vaccines is becoming more and more turned on, and has also attracted the attention of the New York Times, but while we are talking about, then there are the actual effects of what's going on why are we not doing prevention, starting from the cases of measles, five times higher than those of 2016.The FIRST ALLARMIAlcuni flash: the Bambino Gesu Hospital of Rome, excellence pediatric, hospital admissions of children due to measles were increased tenfold. In Lazio the alarm was already taken in march, when the regional Directorate of Health had sent directives to the doctors due to the fact that in just three months, the number of patients sick with the measles had tripled compared to the entire 2016. Now the scenario is confirmed on a national scale. Here are the numbers released by the weekly Bulletin of the Ministry of Health from the national Institute of health: in April, the cases registered in the united states 385, five times those that occurred in the same month of 2016. From the first of January we have already arrived to 1,920 (always on a national scale). About one-third had complications such as diarrhea, pneumonia, otitis, hepatitis, respiratory failure, decreased platelets, and, more rarely, encephalitis, and seizures. The 40 percent was in the hospital, and 15 percent went to the emergency room. Another important fact: it is true that throughout Italy there have been reported cases of measles, but 92 percent, i.e. the vast majority of cases, is concentrated in six regions: Piemonte, Lazio, Lombardia, Toscana, Abruzzo, Veneto and Sicily.DISINFORMAZIONESpiega the minister of Health, Beatrice Lorenzin: ""Unfortunately, the data on measles are really worrying and this is especially so because of the serious and dangerous misinformation view anti-scientific, fomented also by some political forces, which in recent years has led people to not get vaccinated. It is now essential that the Regions implement the new national Plan vaccines, especially through the awareness and correct information to the citizens. The vaccines are safe and save lives"".Analyze how much is going on even Ricciardi (Institute of Health): ""it Was expected an increase in cases of measles, in consequence to the decrease of vaccinations recorded in the last few years. But it is surprising the severity of the current outbreak, characterized by a number of complications very high. About 40 percent of affected persons were admitted in the hospital. With these numbers, you also risk death. As in Romania, where from the beginning of the year were recorded, twice the number of cases of measles than in Italy, about 4,000, and which have resulted so far 17 dead.

The virus selectively enters the cancer cells and leads them to self-destruct without affecting the healthy cells of the body. Initially the investigation was initiated in the direction of treatment of ovarian cancer, but then extended to molecular therapy and other forms of cancer, such as brain tumors, mesothelioma, cancers of the head and neck, breast cancer, and sarcoma.

A SIMPLE IDEA THAT CAN PROVE SALVATION As it has indicated the same in an earlier interview in ""Kathimerini"" and the journalist Aspasia <U+0394><U+03B1><U+03C3><U+03BA><U+03B1><U+03BB><U+03BF><U+03C0><U+03BF><U+03CD><U+03BB><U+03BF><U+03C5>, the basic principle of its investigation of mr. Galani is based on the basic function of viruses. ""When a virus infects a cell, uses the cell mechanisms to reproduce and eventually kills the cell. In the same way modified viruses are able to neutralize effectively the cancer cells"". If the thought of using viruses against cancer is not new, but has started from the 50s, mrs Galanis stressed in the same <U+03C3><U+03C5><U+03BD><U+03AD><U+03BD><U+03C4><U+03B5><U+03BE><U+03B7> that the great difference of ""then"" with ""now"" is the ability of science to genetically modify the viruses, so that they can specifically target the tumor cells, affecting slightly -or not at all – healthy tissue.

It is likely that the patients, for a short period of time after administration of the virus, to have some side effects, such as fever or pain in the muscles, however, the tolerability of this treatment is better and side effects fewer in comparison with any kind of chemotherapy."" Also, he stressed that a major is still ""property"" of this method is that based on what has been observed in the clinical trials, the use of a virus ""wakes up"" the immune system, causing it to recognize again the cancer cells as foreign. ""In this way, the organisation itself undertakes to fight his own cancer. How, however, the virus manages to cause such a reaction, is something we are now investigating in the laboratory and in clinical research,"" he noted. Problem the slow speed of production of new medicines As mentioned in the ""Interesting,"" the professor Evanthia Galanis, one of the major problems of oncology internationally is the slow speed, but the high cost of development and production of new drugs. Recently, the mr Galanis chaired a scientific session on clinical trials of new drugs, during which were discussed the ways in which it can be made more effective, in order to speed up the production of new drugs. Granting an interview to the website Targeted Oncology (www.targetedonc.com), it made reason for lack of effectiveness"" as to the development of new drugs in oncology, highlighting how the average oncology drug, from its adoption until the disposal of the market, between 7 to 9 years, with the cost to approximately 2.6 billion dollars. In the same interview, mr Galanis described some of the ways through which it is hoped abbreviation of time in the phases of clinical trials of new drugs, stating that the ""Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology"" (a coalition of academic and research institutions in the USA), is conducting a clinical study with a methodology that can significantly reduce the time of clinical trials between two stages in half the time, 7-8 years that normally would be required.

"2317","What is the measles ? Caused by a virus belonging to the family paramyxoviridae, measles occurs mainly in children at a young age (between 6 months and 3 years old) that have not yet been vaccinated and who no longer receive the immunization provided by the maternal antibodies. Transmitted through the air or by direct contact, the virus manifests itself at the end of ten days of incubation and ceases to be contagious only after the rash has disappeared completely. If this disease is considered primarily a childhood disease, it can also affect adults. It can also lead to severe complications in subjects with fragile such as infants, pregnant women or the elderly. The symptoms of measles It is at the end of ten days after the transmission of the virus as the first clinical manifestations appear. The rash characteristic of measles, occurs a few days after the sighting of the famous ""sign of Koplik"". This indicator physiological manifested by the presence of whitish spots on the inner sides of the cheeks. The rash begins behind the ears and the face before spreading to the trunk. Small red spots disappear naturally after five days approximately. But the list of symptoms of the measles do not stop there : How to treat the measles ? The image of all the diseases viral, there is no specific treatment to overcome the measles. Antibiotics have no effect on this type of disease, only the symptoms presented by the patient are the subject of a medical care. But in all cases, it is imperative to consult your general practitioner if you, your baby or your child has the symptoms described above. It is important to know that a doctor has the duty to warn the health authorities of cases of measles as he may be required to treat this infection through a part, since 2005, reporting of notifiable diseases. In addition to this regulatory approach, your doctor may prescribe antipyretic medication for fever or antiemetic to limit the vomiting. Antibiotic treatment will be implemented only in case of complications in order to avoid a bacterial superinfection. Vaccination is the only way of prevention If in 90% of cases the measles can be cured easily, if complications exist, however, and can lead to respiratory failure, pneumonia or acute encephalitis morbilleuse. These complications can leave scars for life. To limit the spread of the measles virus, the most effective solution is vaccination. Since January 1, 2018, the vaccine measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine is obligatory In France. Did you know that if 95 % of the French population was vaccinated, measles would be totally eradicated from our land ? However, our country suffers from a vaccination coverage too little. Children should be vaccinated between the ages of 12 and 24 months. Children, adolescents, and adults (before 30 years of age), who have not been immunized, may also benefit from a vaccine catch-up.

This puts it above the other UK nations - with 86.4% having had the full dose of the vaccine in England, 91.3% in Scotland and 91.4% in Northern Ireland.  However, Public Health Wales (PHW) said it was still ""suboptimal"" for preventing further outbreaks of measles.  It is below the World Health Organization's target of 95% to protect a population from a disease.  But despite recent outbreaks, a health boss said a push now put eradicating the illnesses within reach if there was a 95% uptake and teenagers and young adults who missed out on vaccination were targeted.  What is MMR?  The MMR vaccination protects against three infections - measles, mumps and rubella (also known as German measles).  Mumps is a contagious viral infection which causes a headache, joint pain and high temperature, and measles gives cold-like symptoms, a temperature and sore red eyes.  Rubella creates a fever and red rash.  The UK lost its measles-free status earlier this year, with cases of the potentially deadly infection going up because not enough people, of all ages, have been vaccinated.  It is one of the world's most contagious diseases, a viral illness spread by coughing and sneezing.  Although most people who catch it will recover, it can lead to life-threatening complications.  Why are unvaccinated students at risk?  Image copyright Getty Images Image caption The mumps virus is very contagious and can be passed through saliva  There have been increasing outbreaks of mumps, including in universities because people ""gather in close proximity for fairly large periods of time"", according to Prof Jonathan Ball, from the University of Nottingham.  Cardiff University, Cardiff Metropolitan University and the University of South Wales have advised students to be aware of symptoms after an outbreak in Wales.  PHW has urged people to make sure they have received their vaccination.  When do you usually have the MMR jabs?  Generally, the first dose of the MMR vaccine is given to children aged between nine and 15 months, with the second dose any time up until the age of six.  The jabs have helped greatly reduce the numbers of children suffering from the wide-ranging symptoms.  How long does the MMR vaccine protect you for?  Image copyright Getty Images Image caption It is unclear how long exactly the jabs last for, but most people can be expected to be protected for much of their life  The length of protection against the illnesses is described as ""very long-lasting"" by the NHS, with two doses protecting 99% against measles and rubella.  It is slightly less effective for mumps, which protects 90% to 95% of people, with its effectiveness declining over the years.  How do we eliminate it?  PHW said more youngsters need to receive injections to prevent further outbreaks, as well as adults who missed theirs when they were young.  ""MMR vaccination remains the best form of protection against both measles and mumps infection,"" a report by PHW said.  ""The suboptimal MMR uptake in children is of concern and should be actively addressed to prevent further outbreaks and maintain elimination of measles in the longer term.""  In England, a mandatory vaccination is being looked at, but the Welsh Government said it was not something under consideration.  ""In Wales, uptake of the first dose of MMR vaccine in two-year-old children has remained relatively stable at around 95%,"" a spokesman said.  ""Vaccination is the most effective means of protection and we would urge people to ensure they and their dependants are fully vaccinated from preventable diseases.""  Head of immunisation at Public Health England Dr Mary Ramsay said ""action needs to be taken now"" to eliminate the illnesses.

Heavy penalties laid down ""In recent years, the lack of appropriate measures and the spread of behaviors and theories, little science have led to falling vaccination rates,"" said Paolo Gentiloni, president of the Italian Council, at the conclusion of the meeting of 19 may. In the Face of erroneous beliefs, the Italian government has decided to expand the mandatory vaccinations to the number of twelve : polio, diphtheria, tetanus, hepatitis B, haemophilus influenzae type B, meningitis B and C, measles, rubella, mumps, whooping cough, chicken pox. Any registration in the school will therefore be forbidden for children 0 to 6 years old who are not vaccinated. The sanction extends to parents who can not prove that the injections took place. After 6 years, education is compulsory. But the families that do have to comply with the act face hefty fines. According to the president of the Council, they would be 10 to 30 times higher than before. This topic interests you ? Come in and discuss it on our forum !

"3764","The measles spread in many places, dangerous. Especially in Africa, many people are infected with the highly contagious disease. One reason is the low vaccination rate is, according to the WHO. The number of deaths is on the rise - and there's no improvement in sight. After great success in the fight against measles will spread currently around the world. Around 140 000 people died according to estimates of the world health organization (WHO) in the last year of the highly infectious disease, mostly of children under five years of age. The death toll is in the long-term comparison, although declining, in the year 2000, more than 535 000 people died still. Recently, the Numbers rise again. So it was 2018 the WHO estimates that about 16 000 measles Deaths more than in 2017. Especially in the Congo, the measles spread in many places. A reason for low vaccination rates, according to the WHO. Experts lament gaps in the supply of the vaccines. Similar to how the death figures of the estimated infections, which have increased after a sharp decline in also changed recently. According to WHO estimates, there were 2018, nearly 9.8 million measles cases in the previous year, nearly 7.6 million. Include measles symptoms is a rash of the oral mucosa and the characteristic brownish-pink spots on the skin. The infection temporarily weakens the immune system, so that it is easier to otitis media, Bronchitis, pneumonia, or diarrhea. A particularly dreaded consequence of inflammation of Brain, which can be fatal. Only a fraction of cases, no reporting obligation is known As in many countries, according to the WHO, only a small fraction of measles cases are known. The vast majority of infections have been reported to 2019 to mid-November from the Congo. The authorities believe that alone there are more than 5000 people died of measles - far more than the Ebola outbreak since the summer of 2018 with approximately 2200 dead so far. In Europe it arrived in the Ukraine to a major outbreak, with almost 57 000 reported cases. Also in Liberia, Madagascar and Somalia, there are big problems with the measles. In these five States, half of all reported measles cases eliminates, ultimately. In the United States, which was once considered to be measles-free - the tendency is rising again, the country has recorded so many cases like for the last 25 years. Only last week, died in the Polynesian island state of Samoa, at least 53 people in the case of a measles outbreak. ""The health systems are weakened in some countries. Since there are often gaps in the supply chain, in particular the measles vaccine,"" said Marcus Bachmann, for the organization ""Doctors without borders"" last several times the head of operations in the Congo. The measles vaccine should be refrigerated until administration permanent, also it was in many countries a great challenge.

They have great Concerns about the measles, because they kill their children often,"" said Bachmann. Little reason for optimism For the coming year, there is little reason for optimism, said Bachmann. The typical problems in some countries poor Monitoring and slow examination of new cases, a lack of vaccinations and, in principle, the uncertainty caused by the conflicts - would finally ""tomorrow"" to solve. ""The fact that a child dies due to a disease such as measles, can be prevented by vaccination, is frankly an outrage and a collective failure in the protection of the publishers, said the most vulnerable,"" said Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General of the WHO. The organization, according to the vaccination rates have remained in the past decade, but globally constant. The WHO estimates that 86 percent of children receive a first vaccination, and only around 70 per cent but the recommended second dose.

"6008","An article published in the scientific magazine European Journal of Public Health challenge the cliché according to which the decrease of the immunization coverage would be mainly due to the diffusion of theories, anti-scientific, suggesting, rather, is the impact of austerity policies. The spread of “theories and anti-scientific” is greater in the regions of the North, but the greater decline in the vaccination coverage occurred in those Italian regions, both the North and the South, who have suffered the most from cuts to public spending on health. This conclusion is consistent with results already reported in the literature on the impact of economic factors and distance from the medical centers on the vaccination coverage. The obligation recently introduced to try to put a piece “to the law”, but the public health expenditure remains inadequate to the need. original article by Veronica Toffolutti, Martin McKee, Alessia Melegaro, Walter Ricciardi, David Stuckler – the European Journal of Public Health, 11 September 2018 – translated by Voices from Abroad Abstract background: Italy has seen an increase in cases of measles in 2015. Although much emphasis has been given to the choice of individuals to avoid vaccination, in this article we will examine the hypothesis that the heavy cuts to public expenditure on health have contributed to this condition. Method: We used statistical models multivariate to evaluate the relationship between measles, mumps, and rubella (summarized in the acronym MMR) and public expenditure real per-capita for health care in the 20 Italian regions over the period 2000-2014. Results: Between 2010 and 2014, the Italian public spending for health declined by over 2 per cent, although with variations from region to region. Models fixed effects estimate that each percentage point reduction of public health expenditure per capita is associated with a decrease of 0.50 percentage points (with a confidence interval of 95% between 0,36 and 0.65) in the vaccination coverage for MMR, after having controlled for the time trend and for the specific regional effects. The consequences are illustrated by the case of two regions: the region of Lazio, where the public health expenditure dropped by 5 percent, and the coverage for MMR of 3 per cent, and Sardinia, a region historically more backward, where the public health expenditure is slightly increased, and the rates of MMR have remained almost unchanged. Conclusions: The adoption of policies of austerity in the Italian health system is significantly associated with a decrease in the rates of vaccination for MMR. However, the recent introduction of compulsory vaccination for Italian children could help reduce this tedenza. Introduction The adoption of austerity measures in Europe in recent years has in many cases negatively influenced the systems of health protection, a field that has often been financed in such a way too low even when the economies were good [1]. These measures have been associated with numerous adverse health effects, including suicide [2,3], increased health care needs, unmet [4], and epidemics of diseases that have affected especially the most vulnerable groups [5]. The examples from the recent global financial crisis include the malaria in Greece, and HIV in Greece and Romania [1,6]. During the economic crisis, the cuts in public health expenditure were associated with outbreaks of diphtheria [5], and leptospirosis [7] and tuberculosis[8]. Many european countries have witnessed a decrease in the rates of vaccination and to the increase of the incidence rates of measles. In 2017, more than 14,000 cases have been recorded in Europe, which caused 30 deaths, including 19 in Romania, 4 in Italy, 1 in Bulgaria, Germany, Portugal, France and Spain [9,10]. Italy has been hit especially, with 5.004 cases registered, the second country in Europe in 2017 [11-13]. The main reason of the appearance of epidemics is the decrease in the vaccination coverage for the measles, which generates large pockets of vulnerable individuals. In Italy, among all the reported cases, 88 percent were vaccinated, and 6% had only received one of two doses of vaccine required [14]. The vaccination coverage for measles, mumps and rubella (summarized in the acronym MMR) is currently below the 95 percent target in 2012 by the national plan of prevention and immunization to reach the immunity of the flock [15]. There has been a large debate on the best way to react to the problem. Attention has been focused mainly on adults who have refused to vaccinate their children (the so-called “hesitation vaccination”) [16]. Paolo Gentiloni, the president of the Italian Council during the epidemic of 2017, for example, has blamed the “diffusion of theories, anti-scientific”. As a response, the Italian government has launched a policy of mandatory vaccination, starting from 2017. With this new policy all children and young people under 16 years of age must demonstrate having been subjected to the vaccination against 10 infectious diseases the most common, including measles, before she could apply to the public schools. Although the theories are anti-scientific, have undoubtedly played an important role in the emergence of a potential new epidemics, it has been observed that such theories are found more frequently among well-off families, and in the most prosperous regions of northern Italy [17]. However, the increase of cases of measles is mainly concentrated in the poorest regions, and in hard to reach populations, suggesting that other factors must have played a role [18-20]. Therefore, another hypothesis links the recent outbreaks to the minorities, especially in the Lazio region, which had a third of all the cases recorded in Italy in 2017. Some have connected, in particular, the measles at high concentrations of migrant romanians in this region [21,22]. This idea seems supported by what was observed in previous outbreaks of 2006 and 2015/16 in the regions of the North, the richest part of the country: such epidemics were particularly numerous among the Roma populations and immigrants [19], although these same populations have not been affected in a particular way by the epidemic of 2017. In fact, in 2017, 7 percent of the cases occurred in adults in the contexts of care, rather than among children [22]. Another possible factor is the impact of economic conditions on the capacity of the public health system. In November 2011, the government has reduced the health budget of 7.5 million euro, and introduced the ticket for specialist visits. The health budget was then reduced to 900 million in 2012, a cut of almost one percent in a budget that was growing. Then there was a further cut of € 1.8 billion in 2013 and an additional 2 billion euros in 2014 [23]. These cuts have hit a number of services including prevention programs, pharmaceutical products, personnel and medical equipment [24]. Unfortunately, it is not possible to identify specific budget items in publicly available data. However, the report of the government in 2013 and in 2014 annotavano as the expenditure for vaccines was decreased by more than 10 percent in that period [25]. The objective of this study is therefore to assess whether the policies of austerity in the public sector may have had a negative impact on the coverage of vaccines for MMR in Italy. Method (...) [describes the datasets used as sources of data and the statistical models adopted for the analysis. See the original article for the details, which we translate for the sake of brevity. NdT] Results Figure 1 shows the trend of public health expenditure per capita to grow will be reversed, since the beginning of 2010. It should be noted that, up to then, grew rapidly, at an annual rate of approximately 3,51 percent from 2000 to 2009. Then, however, the trend was interrupted and turned upside down, and was down about 2 percent between 2010 and 2014. Figure 1. The trend of public health expenditure real per capita output, and the vaccination coverage for MMR in Italy, 2000-2014. Source: for health expenditure, elaboration of the authors on data from the WHO, Health for All. For the vaccination coverage, the elaboration of the authors on data from the Superior Institute of Health. These aggregate data, however, hide regional variations. In nine regions the public health expenditure real increase (Liguria, Lombardia, Emilia-Romagna, Lazio, Puglia, Calabria, Sardinia and Tuscany). On the contrary, most of the cuts concentrated in the regions of the South the poorest, such as Basilicata and Molise, which have seen a decrease of over 10 percent. Before these cuts, the coverage for MMR was progressively increasing, from the 74.1 percent of the year 2000 to 90.6 percent in 2012 (see Figure 1). After this period, which coincided with the introduction of austerity policies, the coverage is back down up to 85,1 percent of 2014. Between 2010 and 2013, in particular, the three regions that have had the greatest decline in coverage for MMR (over 3 percent), within the period investigated, were among those who received the most cuts (Friuli-Venezia Giulia: -3,39 percent. Figure 3 reports the estimates of a series of statistical models (the results for extended are given in Table A2 in the Appendix in the supplementary material online). Our models without control variables estimate that each percentage point increase of public health expenditure real you associate a significant increase in the vaccination coverage for MMR is equal to 0.29 percentage points (confidence interval of 95% between of 0.19 and 0.40). After having controlled for the regional fixed-effects to account for temporal changes in surveillance and health infrastructure, estimated to reach 0,53 percentage points (with a confidence interval of 95% between 0,37 and 0.69). In a similar manner, when controlling for time trends at the regional level, each percentage point of the increase of public health expenditure real per capita output (corresponding to 17 euros per capita) is associated with an increase of 0.50 percentage points in coverage for MMR (confidence interval of 95% between 0,36 and 0.65). Figure 3. Association between coverage for MMR and public health expenditure per capita in 20 Italian regions, 2000-2014. Confidence intervals are based on robust standard errors, clustered at the regional level. The correct model controls for trends at the regional and time trends at a regional level. The models are in log scale and the estimated coefficients represent the elasticity. These associations are consistent with what we observed at the level of episodes of regional measles. The largest epidemic in Italy occurred in the Lazio region, which includes the city of Rome. Here a cut of 5 percent in public health expenditure real per-capita is associated with a decline of 2.5 percent in the vaccination coverage for MMR. The second major epidemic occurred in the Piedmont, in the North. This region also has been affected by a cut of 5 per cent in expenditure, and had a fall of 3 percent in coverage against MMR. It is interesting to note that even among the richest regions of the North, the largest decrease in the coverage for MMR has coincided with the largest cut to health spending per capita. Other examples include the Valle d'aosta, where a decrease of over 6 percent in expenditure was associated with a reduction in coverage with the MMR of over 11 percentage points, and the Friuli Venezia Giulia region, where a decrease of 3 per cent of health expenditure is associated with a decrease in coverage with the MMR of 6,65 percentage points. Sicily and Sardinia represent cases contrasting compared to the rest. Our data show that in Sardinia the immunization is increased by 3.8 per cent, and in Sicily of 1.4 per cent in the period 2010-2013. For historical reasons, these two regions, with Trentino Alto Adige, Valle d'aosta, and Friuli-Venezia Giulia, enjoy special autonomy, according to the Italian Constitution. Sicily and Sardinia are considered to be among the most active Italian regions for immunization policy. Sicily was the first to introduce the immunization for chickenpox in 2003, and the Sardinia was one of the first regions to achieve the objectives of the national plan of immunization for the 2012-2014 [27-29]. During the period considered by the analysis presented here, the Sardinia has managed to increase its budget for health spending by an average of 3 percent a year, and after 2008 of 2 percent per annum. This is the largest increase among all the regions after the onset of the Great Recession. Control of strength (...) [describes additional non-linear models and refer to supplementary material online, NdT] Discussion our analysis suggests that the austerity measures adopted in Italy have contributed significantly to the return of measles. We estimated that each percentage point reduction of health care expenditure real per capita corresponds to a decrease of 0.5 percentage points in vaccination coverage for MMR. In the most affected regions, namely, with cuts of 5 percent, this means a decline of 2.5 percent in immunization coverage. The results are in line with previous studies that associated the decrease in the vaccination coverage with economic factors such as poverty [30], the perceived distance with respect to the medical clinics [31], the low-income family [32-34], and the lack of health insurance [35-37]. Before examining the possible implications for policy and research, we should note various limitations of our analysis. The first thing our study did not consider the infections, but rates of vaccination. There are many doubts on the fact that the main risk factor for the epidemics of measles is the decrease in the levels of vaccination coverage and the fact that the population does not reach, with 95 percent of that coverage, the immunity of the flock. Ideally we would have had to assess the impact of the reduction of public health expenditure on hospitalization for measles and incidence rates. This, however, would have required a surveillance system that provided the data, which, unfortunately, was not available. In the second place, our data do not allow to control for all variables potentially relevant, and we admit this as a further limit. Third, although detailed data on the budgets for infectious diseases are available for some regions in some years, these are not recorded on a routine basis and are not comparable over time and between regions, therefore we were not able to use them for this analysis. In addition, given that the aggregated data are available only up to 2014, we were not able to examine the most recent outbreak of measles, that by 2017, that has produced more than 5,000 cases, of course, especially among unvaccinated persons. Fourth, the Italian health system is managed at regional level, for which, despite being a national service, the regions are responsible for funding, planning and implementation of care services. This generates heterogeneity between the regions, especially for those five regions that receive a greater amount of funds, because, historically, they were the most disadvantaged (i.e. Friuli Venezia Giulia, Trentino Alto Adige, Sicily, Sardinia, Valle d'aosta). Fifth, although we have excluded the province of Bolzano, a priori, because of its special characteristics, including the rate of vaccination coverage against MMR is extremely low, we admit that his data are inconsistent with respect to the overall result for which the public health expenditure is positively correlated with coverage against MMR. However, even when we did a check of robustness, we have found that this does not affect, however, about our general results. Despite the limitations, our observations may contribute to understand the pattern of regional in the decrease of vaccination against measles in Italy. Importantly, the decrease was not concentrated, nor in the poorest regions or in the richer ones, but those that have had the biggest cuts in public health expenditure. Therefore, although Sardinia is one of the poorest regions, has increased public health expenditure per capita, while Italy was implementing austerity measures, and has had no major outbreak of measles. In march 2017, the World Health Organization has expressed concern about the outbreaks of measles in Europe, which occurred in spite of the availability of safe vaccines and low-cost [38]. With this premise, a new law adopted in Italy in July of that year offered an example to the others [39]. This law makes vaccines mandatory for all children entering the public primary schools. This law has, however, been very controversial, and those who were opposed to vaccinations in the Province of Bolzano have tried to avoid it through private schools, or crossing the border to Austria or other neighboring countries. It is too soon to know if the new plan of immunizations will be effective. However, the early signs are promising, with a data coverage presented in the end of December 2017 which estimated an increase from 87,9 in-lbs (92.2 percent for children 3 years of age. The changes that occurred in Italy have been echoed in other european countries. In Germany, in spite of the parents in the last three years have had to provide proof of having received advice on vaccination before their children could enter the asylum, a recently proposed law would make it mandatory for all nursery schools to notify the health authority in the case in which the parents have not provided such evidence. After the introduction of compulsory vaccinations in Italy, the French prime minister, Édouard Philippe said that “it is unacceptable that children die even of measles in a country that has been a pioneer of the first vaccines” [40]. Currently the vaccines for diphtheria, tetanus, and polio are mandatory in France. However, the government has made it mandatory eight additional vaccines starting from 1 January 2018: whooping cough, measles, mumps, rubella, hepatitis B, influenza (this is the Haemophilus influenzae B, ndt), pneumonia, and meningitis C. The last Italian budget for health provides for an increase in government spending of 1.3 percent per year for the triennium 2018-2020. This will create fiscal space for investing in the prevention of infectious diseases. However, it remains to be seen if this will be enough to reverse the tedenza to the decline in the vaccination coverage, the increase is still lower than the increase in the GDP forecast. In conclusion, these results highlight the risks of disinvestment in public services, health care. Italy is now working on its low vaccination coverage rates, with a combination of laws and of the increases in the health budget. It is important to monitor these developments, not only to establish the policies to be adopted in Italy, but also for the whole of Europe, where many countries have similar problems.

The report, moreover, is accompanied by two lists, one of which detailed ten countries, with Brazil at the head, that have recorded cases of measles in 2018 after the previous year do not have proof of any cases. The second list represents the ten countries that registered the largest increases of people affected from one year to another and is led by Ukraine, where UNICEF is warning of the existence of a growing movement antivacunas, a key part of a re-emergence as the background of the UN adds to other factors such as armed conflict. ""The poor infrastructure of health, civil conflict, low community awareness, complacency and doubt and at the time of vaccinating children has led to these outbreaks are happening again, both in developed countries as in developing countries"", according to UNICEF. ""For example, in the united States, the number of measles cases has increased six-fold between 2017 and 2018, reaching 791 cases, some of them registered in cities such as New York or Washington,"" according to the press release.

""Globally, 98 countries have reported an increase of cases of measles in 2018 compared to 2017. It has eroded the progress against a disease as easily preventable as life-threatening,"" says UNICEF. Measles is highly contagious, more than the ebola, tuberculosis or the flu. The virus can be contracted by anyone up to two hours after an infected person has left a room. It spreads through the air and infects the respiratory tract, killing potentially malnourished children or babies too young to be vaccinated. Once infected, there is no specific treatment for measles, so the vaccination is a tool that saves lives for kids. ""This is a warning call. We have a safe vaccine, effective against a highly contagious disease, a vaccine that has saved nearly a million lives each year during the last two decades"", declared the executive director of UNICEF, Henrietta H.

Public Health England (PHE) is urging people to check they are properly vaccinated against the highly infectious viral illness, which can be fatal. Anyone who has not received two doses of the MMR vaccine is at risk, while young people mixing in close proximity, for example at festivals, are more vulnerable.

The majority of cases we are seeing are in teenagers and young adults who missed out on their MMR vaccine when they were children.""  There are currently large outbreaks in Romania and Italy and those travelling to these countries should check health advice beforehand.  Dr Ramsay said: ""Anyone who missed out on their MMR vaccine in the past or are unsure if they had two doses should contact their GP practice to catch up. This serves as an important reminder for parents to take up the offer of MMR vaccination for their children at one year of age and as a pre-school booster at three years and four months of age.  ""We'd also encourage people to ensure they are up to date with their MMR vaccine before travelling to countries with ongoing measles outbreaks.""

Public Health England urged parents and young adults to vaccinate against the highly infectious viral illness, which can lead to serious complications.  There have been more than 250 cases reported since the start of the year, with at least 90 confirmed after laboratory tests.  Last year 243 cases were reported. Health officials suspect the rise is being driven by unvaccinated adults travelling to and from the Continent, where there have been outbreaks in a number of countries.  Dr Yvonne Doyle, London regional director for Public Health England, said: “We are seeing a concerning increase in measles cases across London which could lead to a wider outbreak in unvaccinated children and adults.  “Those who have not received two doses of the vaccine in the past — or who are unsure — should speak to their GP. There’s no harm in receiving an additional dose where there is any uncertainty.  “It’s crucial pregnant women have been vaccinated with MMR, as rubella in particular can cause serious complications during pregnancy.”  While MMR vaccine uptake in London is good for the first dose, a 91 per cent uptake by the age of five, it falls to 77 per cent for the second dose — the lowest for any part of the country.  Signs of measles include cold-like symptoms, sore red eyes, a high temperature or a red-brown blotchy rash.",203,"uk"

"448","After decades of dramatic progress, the fight against measles is stagnating and the number of deaths is on the rise again in 2018, have alerted the world health Organization (WHO) and the u.s. health authorities on Thursday as outbreaks take place from the Pacific to Europe. This is one of the virus is the most contagious, which can stay in a room two hours after the passage of an infected person, and it has caused epidemics on five continents since 2018, exploding in cities or neighbourhoods where too few people are vaccinated. The small islands of Samoa in the South Pacific are struggling at the moment against the epidemic and count their dead: 62 since October. Almost all were children under the age of four years. The authorities have cut off access to the archipelago and were operating Thursday a vaccination campaign door-to-door. Five countries have concentrated almost half of the cases in 2018: the democratic Republic of the Congo, Liberia, Madagascar, Somalia, and Ukraine, according to a report published by the Centers for control and prevention of diseases (CDC). But the virus can travel easily. Israel has seen the importation of one hundred cases from elsewhere, the Philippines and Ukraine... From there, a few travellers infected have transmitted the disease in the jewish districts of New York and contributed to the greatest epidemic in the United States since 1992. In wealthy countries, measles kills no or very little. But in the DRC, measles kills two times more than Ebola: 5.000 dead this year. In total, 142.000 people have died in the world in 2018. It is four times less than in 2000, but up 15% from 2017. Most of the dead are children. ""Everyone knows that there is a measles vaccine safe, effective, available everywhere in the past 50 years"", complained Kate O'brien, director of immunization at WHO, in a press conference. ""It really is a collective failure to see these epidemics."" Under-vaccination is A figure illustrates this failure: since 2010, the proportion of the world's population who received the first dose of vaccine (two recommended) stagnates at about 86%. To prevent epidemics, the goal is 95%. ""There has been no progress in the immunization coverage against measles in a decade,"" says Kate O'brien. But averages are misleading. Only 61% of countries have reached the 90% for the first dose. There were more of them in 2013. Europe is almost to the goal average, which has not prevented epidemics because it is sufficient that a community is under-vaccinated for the virus takes hold. The AFP is made in the small town of Dutch Urk, a very religious, where only 60% of inhabitants are vaccinated, and where an epidemic has struck in June. In Africa three-quarters of the population are vaccinated, but this hides regional disparities. Less of an african country on three vaccinated at least 90% of its population. The health infrastructure is still insufficient. In developed countries, the movement of distrust of vaccines has contributed to the resurgence of the disease. Maybe people have forgotten that before the advent of the vaccine in the 1960s, measles killed also in New York and Paris. The United States have failed to lose this year, the status earned in 2000, to countries where measles has been officially eradicated (absence of continuous transmission for 12 months in a particular geographic area). But Great Britain, Greece, Albania or the Czech Republic have lost this status in August. The year 2019 saw a doubling in the number of measles cases in Europe.",202,"belgium"

The countries where there were the most cases were Romania (5 562), Italy (5 006) and the Ukraine (4 767). The resurgence of the disease in these countries can be explained by the fact that they have experienced declines in immunization coverage overall, interruptions in the supply of vaccines, or disease surveillance systems are performing poorly. Other european countries have experienced large outbreaks, many of which were in decline at the end of 2017. This is the Greece (967) Germany (927), Serbia (702), Tajikistan (649), France (520), the Russian Federation (408), Belgium (369), the United Kingdom (282)... The progress will continue despite the decline in cases of measles To stop the current outbreaks and prevent new, WHO puts actions in place. They include awareness-raising of the public, vaccination of health care professionals and other adults are particularly at risk, the resolution of the access problems, and the improvement of the supply planning and logistics. The process of verifying the elimination of measles and rubella by country, introduced in 2012, has brought the Region to its goal of eliminating these diseases. Each year, the audit Commission, independent regional (CVR) examines the country data and vaccination activities, and recommends actions to resolve the specific problems faced by the country. At the end of 2016, 42 of the 53 countries in the Region had interrupted the endemic transmission of measles.

In addition to that, the child is not the property of the parents. They are the only managers in the course of his or her life, and that they must be good managers, and in the best interests of the child. Many people have also contributed to a sense of security, and as a memory, even a short distance is very short (compared to everything else, because of the sense of History is lost), and now a few of you remember who you are, measles, polio, small pox, tuberculosis, diphtheria, meningitis. As such, many people believe that we are “immune” to the disease simply because we are “civilized”... there is nothing more to be wrong.

It shocks me at the ignorance of a society of abundance, in which, if you think that is the one that comes up on the social networks, it is more important than the data, and the reality of science. As with all medical procedures, there may be half a dozen or so cases in which the vaccine is not recommended, but there are two or three exceptions, they do not make the law. We, as scientists, we need to drop the lies, falsehoods, untruths, and the ideas that you made which are wrong. Unfortunately, in the fashion of ""don't vaccinate"" that is, a society is affluent, rich, commanding, and jactante, that they have forgotten the times when he was dying of spinal meningitis, poliomyelitis, whooping cough, diphtheria, and measles, among other diseases, and it has nothing to do with a few real contra-indication to vaccination. What kills it are the disease. Vaccines do save lives. The method of the claim of “fake news”, which is related to the amplification of social networking, acríticas and acephalous means that if you spread lies, and how it was related to measles vaccine with autism. In this case, it was a doctor who published a study, which turned out to be false, in that, I would suggest that you join. It was more from the perspective that it wasn't true, but the idea was (as the news on the front page, which is refuted later in a small box in a inner page), and little is said of such a doctor has been spent and thrown out, as was the case with the other doctor in the us who later took his own life. In this respect, I think that the means of communication, line, many, many times, in the “error history”, and its consequences are extremely serious for the health of the people. I repeat, the vaccines, life-saving, disease-killing! Portugal is a success story, provided that the director-general of Health, dr. Maria Luisa Van Zeller, started with the PNV. We are setting an example to the world. To miss it would be like to have a Cristiano Ronaldo-never let you play with the “little” difference, that is, if you don't vacinarmos, thousands of people will die. Yes, thousands of them. It is not the force of the expression. The other argument often used is that of the multinational companies “inventing” diseases to “impingirem” yet. While it is true that the multinational companies and the pharmaceutical industry want to make profits, so is the case with any business in a free market economy), and if it is true that the member States and the EU have a say in the pricing, and I have, when in an international open invitation to tender, the price fall to around a third of the price of the sale to the public), the idea that there was a conspiracy and that the vaccines are unnecessary, it's absurd, obscurantist and utterly stupid.... With a very serious in the life of the people. When he died, a third of the population of Europe by the black plague, or syphilis during the Renaissance, it is not, I believe, has been the multinational with the guilt. In fact, the one who died a lot would appreciate to have taken a shot for them to save a life!!! Vaccination rates in the Uk continue to be relatively high, because, fortunately, most parents don't go in the ""songs of the siren"" and doesn't believe in balelas, but this outbreak shows how we are creating an opportunity. There are a couple of years ago, there were two cases of foreigners who have the measles, and there was not a single Portuguese,..., because the population was immunized, and there was the immunity of the group, which is achieved with a coverage rate of more than 95 per cent - now, that was not the case. If you don't stand up for an active vaccine such as asset and the greatest achievement of civilization, in terms of health care, we will be able to run serious risks, but because of the memory of the diseases to be mist. There is good reason to be concerned. On top of that, there's an entire “generation” that have not contracted the disease, “exp”, have only had one dose of the vaccine to the who in the 70's, there was a different, and less immunogenic, is at the greatest risk of not having the antibodies to the disease, and, for example, don't go to these antibodies (because they don't have it) to their children during pregnancy, leaving you and the babies are exposed to from birth, I'm talking about the generation between the ages of 35 and 45 years of age, more or less. In a country that is in a trance (and a good) as a result of the fire, you will not see that we are in the presence of a new “fire” that could lead to more victims? In the last epidemic, there is about a 25-year-olds has had more than 50 kills! It's in our hands to stick to the vaccines, and their use, and a good name. Vaccines save lives, and the disease will kill them. For me, as a parent, a citizen, a scientist and a humanist, it makes all the difference.

The Prime Minister will set out the plans to improve vaccination rates – including for the measles, mumps and rubella jab (MMR) – on a visit to a hospital in the South West on Monday.  He has called for health leaders to renew their efforts to ensure 95% of the population have had both doses of the MMR vaccine.  Currently only 87.2% of children have the second dose of the jab, down from a high of 88.6% in 2014-15, the lower uptake of which is thought to be partly behind the spread of measles, Downing Street said.  There were 231 confirmed cases of measles in the UK during the first quarter of 2019, and Britain has lost its ‘measles-free’ status with the World Health Organisation (WHO) three years after the virus was eliminated in the country.  Advertisement  Advertisement  NHS England will write to all GPs urging them to promote ‘catch-up’ vaccination programmes, and will seek to strengthen the role of local immunisation co-ordinators in a bid to improve uptake.  The Government will also seek to update the advice on the NHS’s website to address misleading information about the dangers of vaccines.  The UK lost its ‘measles-free’ status three years after the virus was eliminated in the country (Picture: PA)  Social media companies will also be called to a summit to discuss how they can promote accurate information about vaccination.  The Department for Health and Social Care will also deliver a strategy to address the issue in the autumn, in which the NHS is expected to be asked to use technology to identify who may have missed a vaccination and make booking appointments easier.  Boris Johnson says he 'will not lament' Qassem Soleimani's death  Ahead of the visit, Mr Johnson said: ‘After a period of progress where we were once able to declare Britain measles free, we’ve now seen hundreds of cases of measles in the UK this year.  ‘One case of this horrible disease is too many, and I am determined to step up our efforts to tackle its spread.  ‘This is a global challenge and there’s a number of reasons why people don’t get themselves or their children the vaccines they need, but we need decisive action across our health service and society to make sure communities are properly immunised.

More sheep mutilated after 'Satanic-style' attacks  ‘With this strategy, the whole health system will come together to renew focus on vaccinations, especially for our children, and this time we will eliminate measles for good.’  Dr Mary Ramsay, head of immunisation at Public Health England, said: ‘Losing our measles-free status is a stark reminder of how important it is that every eligible person gets vaccinated.  ‘Elimination can only be sustained by maintaining and improving coverage of the MMR vaccine.  ‘Measles is one of the most infectious diseases known to man – only one person travelling back to an area with lower vaccination rates can lead to an outbreak.  ‘Anyone who has not received two doses of MMR vaccine is always at risk.  ‘Making it as easy as possible for parents to access vaccines so that they can offer their children the best possible start in life is a priority for us, DHSC and for NHS England.  ‘Through our Value of Vaccines campaign we’ll be using all opportunities to remind people to get two doses of MMR vaccine – whether that’s new parents, school children or younger adults.  Advertisement  ‘This will be crucial to the UK achieving elimination status again in future.’  Professor Stephen Powis, NHS England’s medical director, said: ‘People not getting the vaccines they need is leading to a killer disease like measles unnecessarily becoming a health risk for our country again, with the number of cases almost quadrupling in just one year.  ‘The NHS and the Government are right to take action to boost vaccination rates – vaccine rejection and falling uptake is a preventable public health risk and it is vital that people get themselves and their children vaccinated.’  Got a story for Metro.co.uk?

"22615","UK loses 'measles free' status with experts warning lives are at risk  WHO confirmation follows marked increase in measles with 991 cases in England and Wales, compared with just 284 cases in 2017.  By Paul Gallagher Thursday, 29th August 2019, 10:15 am Updated Friday, 6th September 2019, 4:35 pm  Social media companies will also be called to a summit to discuss how they can promote accurate information about vaccination, according to the Government's plan to improve uptake. (Photo: Getty)  The UK has lost its ""measles free"" status according to the World Health Organisation - the first time it has happened since records began in 2012 with experts saying lives are at risk.  Three more European countries - Albania, Czech Republic and Greece - also lost their status as having eliminated measles from the population following a surge in cases across the continent.  By the end of last year, some 35 countries had achieved or sustained measles elimination, defined as the absence of circulating measles, in the presence of high vaccine coverage, along with good systems to identify cases of the disease. The WHO added the UK to the list in 2017, based on data from the previous three years.  Sign up to our daily newsletter The i newsletter cut through the noise Thanks for signing up!

Europe as a whole has seen a surge in cases since 2018, with around 90,000 cases reported for the first half of 2019 - already more than that recorded in the whole of the previous year (84,462). It comes as WHO said misinformation about vaccines, particularly that shared on social media, is as contagious and dangerous as the diseases it helps to spread.  Dr Gunter Pfaff, chair of the European Regional Verification Commission for Measles and Rubella Elimination, said: ""Re-establishment of measles transmission is concerning. If high immunisation coverage is not achieved and sustained in every community, both children and adults will suffer unnecessarily and some will tragically die.""  Professor Martin Marshall, vice-chairman of the Royal College of GPs, said the findings were ""disheartening"", coming soon after Unicef found more than 500,000 children in the UK remain unvaccinated against measles.  He said: ""While take-up of the MMR vaccination across the UK are still high, it is not high enough, and we have actually seen a small decline in recent years. It is clear that we are still suffering from entirely debunked claims around MMR that were perpetuated in the nineties - and are now resurgent on social media and other online platforms.  ""Work is continuing across the NHS to ensure messages about the safety, and life-saving nature of vaccinations are heard, and it is encouraging that WHO has increased its focus on measles elimination and upgraded action to address the challenges which have allowed this deadly virus to persist in countries including the UK.  ""This, alongside a commitment by our Government to tackle a wave of dangerous anti-vax messages being shared online - particularly via social media - will hopefully go a long way in helping the country get back on track and regain our measles-free status.""  Social media  It comes as WHO welcomed a decision by social media company Pinterest to only provide evidence-based information from leading health experts to its users in a bid to tackle health misinformation. The company will give users resources from WHO and other public health organisations when they search for a related term.  Last year, the social platform stopped showing results for vaccine searches to tackle the spread of misinformation. Social media companies are facing increasing scrutiny over how they moderate content on their sites. In recent months, other firms including Facebook have taken some steps to address vaccine misinformation.  Pinterest said in a statement: ""We're taking this approach because we believe that showing vaccine misinformation alongside resources from public health experts isn't responsible. As we continue to tackle health misinformation, we remove it and the accounts that spread it from our service.  The firm also said it will not show ads, comments or recommendations on results pages for vaccine searches.",202,"uk"

According to the Commission, several member states are subject to ""unprecedented outbreaks of measles, mumps, and other resurgent diseases that are vaccine-preventable"". For example, in 2017, more than 14,000 cases of measles have been reported. Less than 86% was found not to be vaccinated. Thirty-seven people have died this year as a result of measles. ""As a physician, I am very sad to have to children die as a result of the low funding ratios, reserve against vaccines, or vaccintekorten,"" said the european commissioner for Health, Vytenis Andriukaitis at the launch of the recommendations. 'The vaccines to work. That is, it is a fact of life, just as the earth revolves round the sun.' Andriukaitis calls for a European co-ordination. The low coverage rates in one member state in the Europe without internal borders, the health of the people in the other member states are at risk, said the commissioner. If he wants to be, inter alia, that all states, by 2020, the national vaccinatieplannen to enter, with the objective of providing the vaccination coverage against measles in at least 95 per cent to be spend. Andriukaitis also called for the introduction of routine checkups and immunizations at the various stages of their life. The Lithuanian commissioner is thinking in a community's vaccination card, which is electronically cross-border exchange. Risk vaccintekorten he wants to reduce it by means of a virtual database of information about the reserves and the requirements in the European Union as a whole.

In an updated statement Monday, on the outbreak of the highly contagious illness, the HSE confirmed: “Nine cases have been children aged zero to five years, all unvaccinated, four of whom were admitted to hospital. Eleven cases have been aged between 15 and 34 years, all but two had no MMR vaccines, and four were admitted to hospital.”  The HSE said, despite the current outbreak, current statistics show the “MMR uptake at 24 months of age is 88%% in Limerick and is 93% for the Mid West”.  “An uptake rate of 95% is required for effective immunity within a population,” it added.  HSE Community and Public Health staff will hold a MMR vaccination clinic on Monday 5th March, 10 am – 1 pm, at Barrack View Primary Care Centre, Edward Street, Limerick.  “An Outbreak Control Team made up of representatives from the HSE is involved in managing the outbreak in an effort to prevent further spread,” the HSE said.  “The measures taken include active follow up of confirmed or suspected cases and their contacts, protection of vulnerable contacts (e.g. pregnant women who are not immune to measles and babies who are too young to have been immunised) and encouraging vaccine uptake in those who are not fully vaccinated through additional school and community vaccination clinics.”  “While the numbers of cases of measles in Ireland has reduced dramatically since the introduction of the measles vaccine, it remains a significant cause of death among young children worldwide,” the HSE explained.  “People most at risk of catching measles are those who either have not had measles infection in the past, those who are not fully vaccinated with two doses of MMR vaccine (in particular babies younger than 12 months who are too young to be vaccinated), and those with weakened immune systems.”  The HSE advised anyone with symptoms of measles to “avoid...where possible” presenting at hospital emergency departments.  “If it is necessary to seek urgent care, it is important to inform the ambulance service or emergency department that you have symptoms consistent with measles beforehand so that the appropriate precautions can be taken,” it added.",201,"ireland"

Frederick-James has consulted for several organisations that deal with health, both national and international, and has decided to ""prevent the disembarkation of all the passengers. The risk of infection – not only from the cases confirmed, but all the people on board – has forced us to be prudent"". Then, after communicating the decision with a video, explained to the citizens of Saint Lucia that in order to exit from the country, they would have to prove that they were vaccinated. In the video, Frederick-James has never named the ship in quarantine, but a member of the Coast Guard has confirmed to MSNBC that the case of measles broke out on the Freewinds, a ship owned by the Church of Scientology. According to the official site, Freewinds offers “spiritual support to the members of the highest rank of Scientology.” The ship is famous for having hosted the party for the 42nd birthday of Tom Cruise. “For Scientology, to go on board of the Freewinds is the culmination of a spiritual path profound”, it says on the website.

From the beginning died already infected 11 people, of which 7 were children. UNICEF data show that Ukraine is another country in the world, which in recent years has reduced the number of vaccinated children. First, it's Syria, where the figure had fallen to 38 percent. The indicator is the percentage of infants who received all three required doses of vaccine against diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis. In second place-Ukraine, where the so-called wyszczepialność decreased by 33 percent. This is not the case. The number vaccinated is falling in fragile States, bothered by conflict. Already in 2014, experts alarmowali that Ukraine does not have enough vaccines that explained the connection with the political situation in the country. East News Share - History unfortunately repeats itself. Many years ago in Berlin was recorded the return of measles, when the city arrived refugees from the Balkans.

""For many years we have not had in ostróda County case of measles, and at the present time, when five people were taken to hospital with symptoms of measles, we see this event as extraordinary"", said Pavel Sokolov. Public domain Share - last year in Poland were registered 133 cases of measles. She appears mostly among minority groups and migrants, said in March 2017 Dr. Iwona Level-Stankevich, national consultant in epidemiology. Last year health services in the Lublin Voivodeship there were 11 cases of this disease. This is one-sixth of all measles cases in Poland. It was, first of all, people who came from abroad and in their homeland were not used vaccination. Dumping the blame on migrants it would be a mistake, however, and run from responsibility. National Institute of Public Health (PZH) collects information about the number of failures relating to mandatory immunizations for persons under the age of 19. The data shows that in recent years significantly increased the number of refusals of vaccination.

According to the Regional Sanitary-Epidemiological Station in Warsaw, the number of persons, avoidance of vaccination is growing. In 2012 in Warsaw, they were 432, in 2017 to 2085. According to the preliminary data NIZP-PZH in 2017. in Poland it is recorded as immunized against measles was 94 percent. for basal rates, while 93 percent. for a dose booster for the MMR vaccine.

So they are rare and, above all, they are much less dangerous than the disease. In Poland, and one NOP (unwanted reaction poszczepienny) occurs with a frequency of on average once in 10 000 of these doses of vaccine. For example, in the case of vaccination against measles is less than 20 percent. vaccinated children react fever, which disappears in 1-2 days. Among the serious complications of changing light and encephalitis, which very occurs within 5-15 days after vaccination, less than 1 child per million vaccinated. That is 1,000 times less frequently than after measles. In Poland a growing number of reports about alarming symptoms that occur after vaccination. Growing, but the number of applications that do not meet the requirements for recognition of them for the NOP. Parents are aware of the danger, so they go to the doctor, who explains that it is not a consequence of the vaccine. Measles strikes in silence There is another problem - measles is a disease that is difficult to immediately recognize. The first symptoms is, for example, poor health or has a high temperature. According to the site mp.pl only 14 days after contact with the virus there is a ""rash plamisto-papular on color from dark red to purple, often primarily in the head"". Therefore, before measles, one infected person can be infected yet, and on average, one patient had 18 infected. The problem concerns not only Ukraine, because in Europe (mainly in Romania, Italy, Greece) also observed an alarming increase in the incidence of measles, including death. The vast majority of patients were not vaccinated. In WP Tech 0 comments Vote Vote 0 Wow! 0 Important 0 0 Terribly Weak ",201,"poland"

"50108","UNICEF has sounded the alarm about the resurgence of epidemics of measles on a global level, stressing that in ten countries, among them Brazil, Ukraine and France, accounted for almost three-quarters of the increase in the total number of cases in 2018. On a global scale, 98 countries recorded a higher number of cases in 2018 from 2017, a development that annulled part of the progress that had been achieved in the fight against the disease, which can be avoided with ease, but it is potentially fatal, noted the UN agency in a statement. ""This is a wake-up call. We have at our disposal a vaccine, safe, effective and minimally costly to fight a disease, highly infectious -- a vaccine that is saving almost a million lives every year in the last two decades"", stressed the Henrietta Fort, director general of UNICEF. In Ukraine, the Philippines and Brazil recorded the largest increase of outbreaks on an annual basis. 2018, found 35.120 cases in Ukraine, i.e. almost 30,000 more than the year 2017. While, according to the government, there have been 24.042 new cases within the first two months of 2019. In Brazil found 10.262 cases in 2018, while the previous year had not recorded any. While in France, from 2017 to 2018, the increase amounted to 2.269 cases, by UNICEF. In the Philippines, so far this year, have been recorded 12.736 cases and 203 deaths, 15.599 cases around 2018. The mediocrity of the infrastructures of health, the riots, the low level of awareness of the community, the complacency and the reservations against the vaccination have led to the outbreak of these epidemics in the developing and even in developed countries, stresses the same service of the UN. The World Health Organization (WHO) has already warned that there has been a tremendous resurgence of measles worldwide, an increase of approximately 50% of cases last year, compared with 2017, when recorded 136.000 deaths. The resurgence of the disease, which is more infectious than the flu or tb, it is associated in some countries with unsubstantiated allegations linking the measles vaccine to autism.

"5978","Vaccinations 26/11/2018 Editorial InformaSalus.en The rise of the ""No Vax"" did decrease the vaccine coverage, and from then on our Country occurred a terrible epidemic of measles that made it necessary and urgent the introduction of strong measures such as mandatory vaccination against this disease and, well the other nine. This, in summary, the thesis brought forward to justify the policy on the subject of vaccines designed by Beatrice Lorenzin, the minister of Health, and traced now by Giulia Grillo is reportedly working on a “special plan” against the measles in order to convince some 800,000 young adolescents to get vaccinated. And yet, to see well, this much bandied correlation between “hedging” and “epidemics,” does not hold, as shown by the data of the national Institute of Health reported in an article published on The Truth. ""If it is true that the percentage of ""Coverage"" of vaccination against the measles spread by the Istituto superiore di sanita (Iss) rose from 90% in 2012 to 85,2% of 2015 (and then back up to 91,6% in 2017), where the threshold value necessary to stop the circulation of the virus would be equal to 95 %, this quick and easy correlation between the roofing and epidemics deserves to be investigated with a more critical gaze,"" reads the article. Last year in our Country have been reported 4.991 cases of measles: a number that he did speak to the health authorities of “epidemic” and affirmed the need to run for cover by introducing restrictive measures of freedom of choice. But let's go back a few years. In 2008, Italy was hit by another ""epidemic"" of measles, more virulent than that of 2017, with 5.312 cases. In that case, however, the ""vaccination coverage"" had touched for the first time, the maximum value that would have preceded the decline reported by the ministry and defined ""dangerous"": the 90,1%. In 2011, there was another ""outbreak"" with 4671 cases, still with the 90,1% coverage. Going further back in time, however, we observe the inverse phenomenon, with 826 cases in 2001, compared to a coverage of only 76,9 points, or a little later, with 254 cases in 2015 (85,2 points). According to the data, in short, would not seem to be a correlation between coverage and disease outbreaks.

A new study has warned warned that current vaccination policies are not enough to keep the disease at elimination status and control rising numbers of cases.  However, British experts have cast doubt on the idea, saying enforcing vaccines could alienate parents.  Researchers from the Bruno Kessler Foundation and Bocconi University in Italy looked at current vaccination trends in several countries, including the UK, Ireland, Australia, Italy and the US.  They concluded that in order to keep the percentage of the population susceptible to catching measles under 7.5% by 2050 - the level at which measles is regarded as eliminated - further action is needed.  Either far more people need to be vaccinated or a schools policy should be brought in, they said.  Their study, published in the journal BMC Medicine, found that an estimated 3.7% of the UK population across all ages remained susceptible to measles in 2018.  But this figure is expected to rise by more than 50% by 2050 if current vaccination policies remain the same.  The researchers said: ""Our results suggest that most of the countries would strongly benefit from the introduction of compulsory vaccination at school entry in addition to current routine immunisation programmes.""  Co-author Dr Stefano Merler added: ""In particular, we found that this strategy would allow the UK, Ireland and the US to reach stable herd immunity levels in the next decades, which means that a sufficiently high proportion of individuals are immune to the disease to avoid future outbreaks.  ""To be effective, mandatory vaccination at school entry would need to cover more than 40% of the population.""  In the UK, anti-vaccination groups have been blamed for some parents not vaccinating their children with the combined measles, mumps and rubella vaccine (MMR).  Simon Stevens, chief executive of NHS England, has said ""vaccine rejection is a serious and growing public health timebomb"", and ""social media firms should have a zero-tolerance approach towards"" dangerous and inaccurate scare stories.  Health Secretary Matt Hancock has also said he ""wouldn't rule out anything"" when asked whether unvaccinated children should be banned from schools.  Figures out last month from Unicef showed that over half a million children in the UK were unvaccinated against measles between 2010 and 2017.  Children need two doses of the vaccine for protection, with the World Health Organisation (WHO) recommending 95% coverage to achieve herd immunity to stop the disease spreading.  In the UK in 2017, there were 259 measles cases in England, rising to 966 in 2018.  In 2016 and 2017, uptake of the first dose of the MMR vaccine in five-year-olds in the UK exceeded 95%.  But uptake of the second dose of MMR in five-year-old children is 88% - well below the 95% WHO target.  In response to the new study, British experts cast doubt on whether introducing a policy of compulsory vaccination would work.  Dr David Elliman, consultant in community child health at Great Ormond Street Hospital, and from the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, said such a policy lacks evidence for the UK.  He said: ""Only about 1% to 2% of UK parents refuse all immunisations. A larger proportion may have concerns that are readily addressed by healthcare professionals, while a significant number still have problems accessing appropriate family-friendly services.  Introducing compulsory vaccination in this country might reduce the very high level of trust that people have in the NHS and prove counterproductive. It could even result in lower levels of vaccination.  ""Before we even consider going down this route, we should ensure that we have efficient appointments systems and reminders and adequate numbers of well-trained staff, with time to talk to parents in family-friendly clinics.  ""Compulsion may work in some countries, but it is not for us.""  Sonia Saxena, professor of primary care at Imperial College London, said: ""Making vaccination mandatory might have unintended consequences.  ""It risks disenfranchising parents and carers, as well as risking a rise in unvaccinated children being excluded from school - which could carry stigma for children whose parents do not comply.  ""More effective approaches would include reminding parents and providers of upcoming and overdue immunisations, as well as educating and providing feedback to the doctors, nurses and healthcare staff providing vaccinations.""",199,"uk"

The girl, suffering from a complex genetic disorder – abnormal – was not, in fact, been vaccinated for major infectious diseases. Measles, dies, a little girl of 9 years, The small, who was suffering from a chromosome, not had the vaccination for measles. Alberto Villani, chief of Pediatrics for the hospital, which took care of the girl, said: “he Was in a condition of extreme weakness, but if he had not taken the measles might not be dead.” The girl had contracted the measles because of the fragility of his immune system, weakened by the disease he had. A complication of the infectious disease has triggered a multi-organ failure, against which the doctors could not do anything about it. The vaccine is not recommended in children more fragile? The dramatic situation is going to exacerbate the heated debate between the anti-vaccinisti and those who support the importance of prophylactic vaccination. The girl in fact had not been subjected to vaccinations in children, perhaps because it is considered too weak by his parents. But dr. Villani explains: “Many children are fragile for various fears are not vaccinated, but in reality it is only in rare cases of immune deficiency the vaccine is not recommended: children with cancer, with diseases such as intestinal Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis, treated with immunosuppressive therapy, or other diseases treated in the same way, then rheumatic diseases, severe asthma, transplant.

"2334","The WHO has listed 89 994 cases of measles in 48 european states in the first half of 2019, more than double compared to the same period last year. But why are the measles back with them-she, and the anti-vaccines are they responsible for this increase ? In 2018, a little less than 85 000 cases of measles had been identified in Europe. In 6 months of the year 2019, the figure is already at 89 994, according to the latest figures published by the World Health Organization (WHO). At the global level, more than 360 000 cases of measles have been reported since January, the figures""the highest"" since 2006, and almost three times more than for the same period last year. ""Europe is losing ground in the battle against the measles,"" said Kate O'brien, WHO. We régressons. We do the wrong road, and that is extremely worrying. Of course for the health of children, but not only, because measles is also a disease that affects adults."" On Thursday, the WHO announced that the United Kingdom, Greece, Albania and the Czech Republic were no longer protected from this infection, even though these countries had eradicated. France was already a part of the country where measles is considered to be endemic. What is the measles ? Measles is caused by a virus of the family paramyxoviridae, which is attained only by human beings. The first references to the disease date back to the Ninth century, and it is designated, from the Middle Ages, under the latin term of morbilli, diminutive of morbus, for ""little illness"". Is still used today, the term ""morbilliforme"" to refer to a rash that looks like measles. It is also known as ""first disease"", because it was the first to be enumerated in the classification of cutaneous eruptions, or exanthemes, affecting children. Measles is an infection caused by a virus, which is reflected especially by an attack of the respiratory tract. The main symptoms are a cough, a runny nose, sore throat, fever, followed by a distinctive rash, which has given its name to the disease. Measles is one of the most contagious diseases in the world. It is transmissible between four and five days before and after the rash. The measles virus is communicated very easily through direct contact or through the air : once ejected, the virus remains dangerous for approximately 30 minutes, and up to nearly two hours in a mid-air closed or if it is on a surface. Measles is dangerous ? Guest of The Question of the day in march 2018, Emmanuel Grimprel, head of the department of general Pediatrics at the Trousseau hospital in Paris, reminded that ""measles is an infectious disease, very contagious, and is primarily a respiratory disease, since it affects all the respiratory tree up to the lungs. It can also affect other organs, like the brain"". In this sense, it is a disease that is most often benign, that is to say, it will not result in complications or deaths, but unfortunately we know, and this is essential, since it is a viral disease for which there is no treatment, there is a percentage of patients who are at risk of complications and a small percentage risk of death, so it is a disease potentially severe. To LISTEN to ALSO Listen to Epidemic of measles : how to explain the resurgence of this disease ? 8 min The Question of the day Epidemic of measles : how to explain the resurgence of this disease ? If the measles is mostly benign, however it can lead to serious complications, whether they are respiratory (lung infections) or neurological (encephalitis), which can lead to death. In the past, measles has caused millions of deaths. Brought by the colonists in America in the Sixteenth century, epidemics of measles (as well as cholera, smallpox, etc) have contributed to the fall of the empires of the incas and the aztecs by killing millions of natives. In the 1970s, before the advent of vaccines, the number of deaths due to measles in the world was estimated to be between 7 and 8 million. Why measles is it ? The return of measles, in the rich countries, is largely attributed to the distrust vis-a-vis vaccines. France is at the head of the ranking : according to a study by institute of Gallup poll published last June, one person in three in France does not believe that vaccines are safe. In poor countries, it is mainly a question of a less good access to health care. WHO has registered a 700% increase of cases in Africa, 300 % in Europe, 100 % in the eastern Mediterranean, 40 % in South-East Asia and in the western Pacific. In march of this year, WHO has thus made ""the hesitation vaccine"" one of the ten global threats to health. Why is this disturbing ? In our days, in average, 100 000 children still die of measles each year, mostly in Africa and Asia. In Europe, the disease was declared eliminated in 35 of the 53 countries that comprise the region (they were 37 in 2017). The epidemic is endemic in 12 countries, including France and Germany, where vaccination will become mandatory from march 2020. The main problem associated with measles is the absence of specific antiviral treatment for this disease. The management of a patient contaminated therefore focuses primarily on treating the complications. ""In France today, we do not have the conditions to ensure that there will be no new measles outbreaks"", reminded Emmanuel Grimprel in the issuance LSD, The Documentary Series : today, in theory, it is perfectly possible that an infant has not been vaccinated, non-protected, to catch the measles in our country. Measles is a disease demanding : the measles virus is a virus very individual who has a power to contaminate and, therefore, transmission is extremely high. To LISTEN to Replay Of the virus followed on the track (4/4) : measles : Measles vaccination in question 54 min LSD, The documentary series Of the virus followed on the track (4/4) : measles : Measles vaccination in question What are the effects of the vaccine on the transmission of measles ? There is no curative treatment for measles, but it can be avoided by preventive by two doses of a vaccine. The WHO estimated that more than 20 million the number of deaths prevented in the world between 2000 and 2016, thanks to the vaccination. In LSD, The Documentary Series, dr. Emmanuel Grimprel, a member of the technical committee of vaccination, stated that the vaccine could stop the spread of the virus, the condition ""to obtain vaccination coverage rates of over 95 %"". Now, still according to the WHO, the rates of overall coverage (for the first dose of vaccine) has been stagnating for several years at 85 %. The effectiveness of the vaccine, remind us of the health authorities, is played both at the individual level and the collective by achieving a 95% vaccination coverage, people who cannot be vaccinated, including those with a weakened immune system, are also protected. Where are we in France ? August 21, 2019, according to public Health France, France had no less than 2 381 cases of measles since the beginning of the year, with two deaths, compared to 2 671 over the same period of 2018. The national Agency of public health has stated that the epidemic peak has passed and the number of cases was declining. Patients are now mostly young adults, never vaccinated or who have not received the two necessary doses. Most cases of measles are concentrated in the regions of the south, New-Aquitaine, Occitania and Provence-Alpes-Côte-d'azur. France is among the countries most sceptical with regard to the vaccines. The Twitter account of the AFP has recently published a map of the world of the ""defiance"" with regard to vaccines, where France came largely at the head, with 33.3% of the population, considering that vaccines are not safe : It is a communication become very difficult. France is one of the countries in the world in which the reluctance vis-a-vis vaccinations is the most important. It is a phenomenon quite unique, even if it is a general phenomenon in the world, France is in the lead. We realize today that vaccinations, in the opinion of our population, are a scary, anxiety-provoking. The population is concerned about the effects of the vaccination and is therefore tempted not to follow the recommendations that come to us today of the health authorities. [...] In general, our authorities, be they political, scientific or institutional, are increasingly criticised and not listened to by the population. Emmanuel Grimprel How to react to the government ? In France, the vaccination coverage should go up : since the first of January 2018, 11 vaccines are now mandatory for children, including measles. The refusal of vaccination may be severely sanctioned : the parents refractories shall incur a penalty of imprisonment and a fine of 30 000 €, and the unvaccinated children are not eligible to participate in nursery or at school. In 2018, 87.2% of children a year have received their first injection of measles vaccine. A rate is still insufficient to achieve the 95% coverage recommended. The anti-vaccines are they accountable to ? The ""anti-vax"" as they are nicknamed, are based mainly on the work of 1998, linking the vaccine and autism to justify their refusal of the vaccinations. It has, however, been established that the author of the study, the British Andrew Wakefield, had falsified his results, and many studies have since shown that the vaccine did not increase the risk of autism. In march, Laurent-Henri Vignaud, historian of science and senior lecturer in history at the University of Burgundy, returned in The scientific Method the origin of this distrust : Wakefied has produced a study that had all the trappings of science severe, of science serious, and he himself had a professional position, quite respectable. It is found that this study aimed to reveal a possible link between the vaccine for measles, mumps, and rubella, and autism. As in any scientific study a little surprising it has been verified, we tried to reproduce it, and it has given negative results. There is the more serious because in reality when one is scientific, one has the right to be wrong, it was even the duty of being wrong because the scientific method is built on the methodical doubt, on the trials. But in the case of Andrew Wakefield is a fraud. A journalistic investigation showed that he himself had patented a process allowing a kind of substitute for the vaccine, and he was in the service of the families which were complaints against the pharmaceutical industry for poisoning vaccine. The article has been removed, which is very rare, and Andrew Wakefield struck off from the college of physicians. But in the eyes of the general public, it has no importance, because in reality what is meant is that a doctor found one day that there was a link, and the second information as to why it was cancelled, it is proof that there is a conspiracy... LISTEN ALSO Listen to Antivaccin, to the origin of the doubt 58 min The scientific Method Antivaccin, to the origin of the doubt In France, nuance Frances Salvadori, phd in virology/immunology and master of conferences at the university of Burgundy, ""the argument of autism has not taken so much"", and the non-vaccination for measles is still perceived as a kind of ""initiation course"" : measles is considered as a benign disease, which is currently in 2019, and it is even sometimes considered by parents a bit more militant, like a disease that makes you grow. It is a sort of initiatory journey that must pass through the measles, there is a past, we all lived",197,"france"

"5981","Between fear and misinformation: the problem of the measles and a resurgence of disease outbreaks, hazardous is closely connected with that of the mandatory vaccinations. Alarm at the Pediatric Hospital bambino Gesu of Rome: in just four months, from the first of January to the first of may 2017, the hospitalizations of children affected by the measles have become ten times more compared to the same period of last year. From 2016, the cases are passed from 4 to 47. Data is troubling and serious, as detected by the BEND, Alberto Villani, President of S. I. P. (Italian Society of Paediatrics), and head of the department of Pediatrics and Communicable Diseases, pediatric of the hospital roman. It almost seems the demonstration of the Third Law of Dynamic or principle of action and reaction, which states that to every reaction, there corresponds an equal and contrary reaction. Soft: you can talk about a new epidemic? The drop in the vaccination coverage for measles is leading to a significant increase in cases among both children and adults, due to misinformation and collective lack of attention. Of these forty-seven cases, and for the most part, had complications in very young children, under the first year of life and who could not be vaccinated and four hospitalizations of children younger children (under one month of life). In the almost 400 cases in Italy, the 40% was admitted in the hospital. 92% occurred in the Piemonte region, followed by Lazio, Lombardia, Toscana, Abruzzo, Veneto and Sicily. All this for a bad information view anti-scientific worsened even more by the messages of some political forces, that has led people to not get vaccinated, and so also their children. What is measles measles is an infectious disease caused by a virus of the genus morbillivirus (family of Paramixovidae). It is a very contagious condition that usually affects children 1 to 3 years, that's why defined childhood as chickenpox, rubella, whooping cough, and mumps. In recent years, and that saves teenagers and adults (between 15 and 39 years). Is transmitted by air through sneezing and coughing. It is manifested with high fever, accompanied by nasal discharge, persistent cough, intolerance to light and whitish spots on the mucosa of the palate and mouth. Typical symptom is the rash is easy to recognize and distinguish than with other diseases esantematiche, such as scarlet fever and rubella. The incubation period lasts about 12 days and an equal number of days, or a little more, is the course of the disease. Once the contract is immune to measles, theoretically for life. Like all diseases you may encounter complications in approximately 20% to 30%, and other less frequent but much more serious as encephalitis, which can leave permanent neurological damage, in some cases, even death. Encephalitis morbillosa, died in the sixties, the daughter of the writer of children's books, Roal Dahl, the author of the chocolate Factory. Before he died, he left an open letter to all the parents, narrating his pain, we strongly advising you to vaccinate their children. Of measles and dies? Measles do not die only in asian and african Countries poor, where children are malnourished but, of measles, starts to die even in the industrialized Countries always to blame-don't want to vaccinate their children believing that the measles, a disease that disappeared. It is not so because the coverage of measles came only to 88,71% lower than by the objectives set by the Health Plans that is 95% below this percentage, it is not guaranteed to be “the immunity of the flock” of the population. The measles vaccine: it is dangerous? Prevention is the vaccine, by the Health Authorities is not mandatory, but recommended. The vaccination is not practiced only in individuals with immune deficiency or under immunosuppressive therapy, in pregnant women. With the collapse of the vaccinations and the measles is spreading like wildfire: every sick person can infect twenty other. The statistics are in favor of vaccinations, and do not say only the numbers but also the age of survival compared to the last century. Smallpox, for example, has disappeared, so much so that you proceed more to the vaccination. It is also true that the vaccines themselves can cause, in some cases, side effects can also be severe as anaphylactic shock (1:1.000.000), a severe form of allergy, but this should not drastically make a decision so important to the future of life from one extreme to another. It is certainly difficult to say to the parents of the child is unfortunate who has had serious damage as a result of the administration of the vaccine, which, thanks to it, all the other kids have the ability to not get sick or die. You have to, on a personal level, think, however, that the risks to which we expose our child leaving me with no security are greater than those to which we expose it, if not the vacciniamo. It all depends on the “good” information medical, pediatric, and scientific. There are parents who decide not to vaccinate their small-asserting and relying on the coverage given by the vaccination of others, as if it were an effect of reflection. Who ensures that others, children or adults, are vaccinated, and people latent? Also, our children today are travelling more to far away Countries, and can contract in those areas, diseases that in our Country, seem to be a distant memory of the past that was. It's better to be sure of immunization coverage, at least it's a guarantee. Against vaccinations, unfortunately, only a short time ago, have also sided with doctors and pediatricians, leaving the decision up to the parents without the knowledge on the epidemiological, medical, and virologic.

While the government antisysteme Italian questioning compulsory vaccination, an Ipsos survey shows that the Belgians, like other Europeans, are part of the people least convinced by the vaccines. The lack of ownership and the low proportion of allocated budgets are the main causes. Just over half of Belgians consider it normal that vaccination against serious infectious diseases is mandatory. With only 53% of convinced, Belgium is among the countries where the scepticism with regard to immunization is the greatest, according to an Ipsos poll conducted at the threshold of the summer in 28 countries. The Belgian, but the French and the Germans, are more reluctant with respect to the vaccines that the Italians (63% of advocates), which the government calls into question the compulsory vaccination. Immunization is the only effective preventive measure against many infectious diseases, such as measles, recalls Mike Catchpole, chief scientist at the european Centre for prevention and control of diseases (ECDC). ""It is tragic and unacceptable that children and adults in countries of the EU still die of this disease so that safe and effective vaccines are readily available"", he says. ""It is tragic to see children and adults in EU countries still die of measles while safe and effective vaccines are readily available."" Mike catchpole scientific director of the european Centre for prevention and control of diseases (ECDC) measles, which could have been eradicated long ago in Europe by an immunization coverage sufficient, has made a fifty of victims in the Eu over the past two years. And Italy is precisely the country where the largest number of cases of this disease are identified. From July 2017 to June of last year, 13.234 cases of measles have been diagnosed in Europe (EEA), including 3.341 in Italy and 94 in Belgium. The world Health Organization (WHO) established at 95% vaccination coverage required to eradicate a disease like measles, but only four countries of the Union can congratulate itself on having achieved such a low rate (Portugal, Sweden, Slovakia, and Hungary).

Gold adds the doctor, ""there is evidence that compulsory vaccination, for example, the requirements of vaccination for access to nursery or school, is effective to improve vaccine coverage and reduce the rates of illness"". Italy against the current, It is precisely on this point that the power of italy has launched the debate. The government of the Movement 5 stars (M5S, a catch-all) and the League (far-right) intends to return on the obligation of vaccination to go to school as it was established by the previous government. This envisages that a child must be vaccinated against ten diseases to be able to enter the nursery or the school – the parents of unvaccinated children are at risk up to 500 euros fine. While saying recognize the absolute importance of vaccines, the rulers are opposed to their obligation systematic – triggering, in particular the ire of the parents of children of non-vaccinable. The new minister of Health, Giulia Grillo (M5S), intends to establish a ""duty flexible"", by which the penalty would be limited in time and restricted to diseases and regions where the vaccination rate is too low. European co-ordination The direction taken in Rome promises to complicate the adoption of a new framework of cooperation between the Europeans in the matter. Within the Union, the States alone are competent to the immunization policies and programs. But the european Commission has proposed in April to adopt for the end of the year a ""resolution,"" strengthening the coordination of their policies. According to the european executive, the first because of the lack of immunization is the distrust of some citizens – ""misconceptions about vaccination have diverted the attention of the public of the benefits of vaccination, and created a distrust of science as well as a fear of possible side effects,"" says the Commission. The links alleged between autism and the vaccine for measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) – often used in the arguments of the ""NoVax"" (anti-vaccine) –, are based for example on a study discredited.

Provisional reporting up to November 2019 shows there has been 413,000 reported cases so far this year.  It means figures continue to rise above exceptionally dangerous levels.  In Ireland, according to the HSE’s Health Protection Surveillance Centre, some 74 cases of measles cases have been reported up to December this year, with 42 of those notifications confirmed as measles.  Last year, measles cases in Ireland grew by 244% from 25 in 2017 to 86 in 2018.  “The unacceptable number of children killed last year by a wholly preventable disease is proof that measles anywhere is a threat to children everywhere,” said Henrietta Fore, UNICEF’s executive director.  When children go unvaccinated in significant numbers, entire communities are at risk.  “We see that even today in remote places like in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where measles has killed more than 4,500 children under the age of five so far this year; or in Samoa, where a rapidly spreading measles outbreak has left many children ill and unable to go to school.”  An estimated 19 million children worldwide missed out on the first dose of the measles vaccine by their second birthday in 2018.

Measles epidemics such as those of ten years ago, in Bulgaria, should have sufficient can be shown by the severity of the consequences. The measles virus was introduced by travellers from Hamburg. At least 24 people died alone in the Balkan state. The pathogen is spread out over two years in eleven countries. And Yes, the like can happen at any time again. Simply because it is right in the middle of Europe, in the flagship country of Germany, no compulsory vaccination. While studies have shown adequately that the measles vaccination is important and safe. That due to their composition, although fever or slight Impfmasern can occur. Overall, however, deaths prevented, and the most serious late complications can be avoided - and not just in front of and behind your own front door. Just there, in front of its own door-to-door, is exposed to the offspring of the dangerous infectious disease, measles is now once again in several places. The fact alone that the opponents fault, nourish with your constructed conspiracy theories, doubts about immunizations and as a result, many life are not. There are also people for whom the importance of vaccinations, it is unclear and probably will remain, as long as there is no obligation to participate. What is voluntary, it can hardly be important, otherwise it would not be voluntary. To stop this condition and to follow the example of France, at least in the case of measles, is considered to be obligatory, and a political one.

In the period of convalescence, the general condition of the child improves progressively. In this period, however, can appear complications due to the lowering of the immune system caused by the measles, such as pneumonia, otitis and meningoencephalitis. The most feared complication, albeit rare, is the Panencefalite Subacute Sclerosing, which appears about 7-10 years after the infection. The diagnosis of measles is mostly clinical. In the case of suspicion, you can do the research of specific antibodies and of the virus on the blood. The treatment consists only in the control of symptoms, there is no specific therapy.

"6016","In the first three months of 2019, the cases of measles around the world have increased 300 percent compared to the same period of 2018, according to provisional data collected by the World Health Organization (WHO). The problem affects several european and asian countries, as well as parts of Africa and in the United States and is leading some governments to consider new initiatives to boost vaccinations, the first tool to halt the spread of the disease. What is the measles (a short review) measles is an infectious disease of the respiratory system is caused by a virus and is highly contagious. It is transmitted by air and those who are ill and becoming contagious about three days before experiencing symptoms, and it continues to be so until a week after the appearance of red spots on a good part of the body (rash). In addition to the rash, measles causes cough, colds and fever, which can reach peaks of around 40°C. measles might be the cause of numerous complications, from pneumonia to encephalitis, a dangerous infection that affects the brain and the rest of the central nervous system contained in the cranium. The only way to avoid getting measles is to get vaccinated with an injection that introduces a limited version of the virus, enough to make learn to our immune system to recognize it and counter it, without developing the disease. Like other vaccinations, including the one for measles in recent years has been the centre of many campaigns by so-called “no vax”, groups opposed to vaccines because, according to them, would be unnecessary and harmful, even if the whole of the scientific literature and the medical practice of the Twentieth century say otherwise. Part of the mistrust about vaccines is also derived from one of the most large and serious scientific fraud in the history, that the alleged correlation between vaccines and autism. In the first three months of 2019 were recorded 112.163 cases of measles in 170 countries of the world, with a significant increase due in some cases to the lack of sufficient resources to carry out the vaccinations, in others for political choices, which have led to underestimate the problem or to satisfy in part the demands of the “no vax”. Madagascar ?? The biggest increase of cases of measles was recorded in Africa, where according to the WHO amounted to 700 percent compared to the first three months of 2018. In Madagascar, the current outbreak of measles which began last September has caused the death of at least 1,200 people and the health authorities have estimated at least 115 cases until last April. Only 58 percent of the inhabitants of the country is vaccinated, well below the safety threshold of around 90-95 percent. The problem are the lack of economic and health resources to vaccinate the population. The 50 percent of the children in Madagascar are malnourished, a condition that contributes to make it more dangerous the infection. Australia ?? The reported cases in Australia since the beginning of the year and mid-April were 97, a greater number than those reported in the previous four years in the country. The main causes are the arrival on the continent of people from Indonesia, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand and other countries where there are ongoing outbreaks of measles. Just 5 years ago, Australia was declared free of the measles thanks to the high rate of vaccinated among the population. The health authorities have decided to intensify the vaccination campaign to combat the spread of the disease. United States ?? In the United States the recorded cases of measles have reached the maximum level of the last 25 years. With regard to 2019, so far, have been reported 764 cases, with a peak of 60 reports between the end of April and the first days of may. The previous record was in 1994 with 963 cases. People sick with the measles, of various ages, have been reported in 23 states. The causes are mostly due to doubts and skepticism vis-a-vis vaccines, which in recent years have led to a reduction in vaccinations. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the u.s. organization for the study and prevention of infectious diseases, has prepared a kit of information and documents, advising doctors to use it to spread the importance of vaccines to their patients. The largest number of cases in the United States has been recorded in the north-west of the country, in the area of Portland and in Clark county, which are part of the state of Washington. The number of people infected began to increase towards the end of 2018, with 73 confirmed cases until last march. In the area has been declared a public health emergency, both to obtain more money to address the problem, both for the financing of new and more effective information campaigns on the importance of vaccinations. In the last few weeks, however, talked a lot about the outbreak of measles in New York city, born in the community of ultra-orthodox jews. Israel ?? Between march 2018 and February 2019 were reported 3.590 cases of measles in Israel, 2.110 of them in the area of Jerusalem. The outbreaks have affected mostly children under 9 years of age. After a peak in cases recorded in October 2018, the israeli Health ministry has launched a new vaccination campaign, which has in part helped to reduce the problem in the last few months. Waiting for a law by the Parliament, the ministry has also decided, as a measure of emergency, the prohibition of access to school for children not vaccinated. Ukraine ?? In the period to march 2018 – February 2019, the reported cases of measles in the Ukraine were 72.400. Below this threshold, an epidemic of measles has a far greater chance of spread",192,"italy"

"5993","From all over the world continue to get bad news about measles: a decrease in coverage, increase the infections. A small recap of the myths and stereotypes about the disease “measles is becoming a global problem”. “The epidemic of measles in New York city, is a health emergency”. “There is a serious epidemic of measles in Madagascar”. There is little to get around it: continue, alas, to get bad news on measles. The last bulletin on the Italian situation speaks to more than 500 cases in the first three months of 2019. The whole blame, says the national Institute of health, vaccination coverage is still too low. Even overseas they're really not well: the Usa recorded the highest increase of cases since the Nineties. And the disease has caused the death of over a thousand people in Madagascar. So there was more need than ever for a summary of the five myths and clichés associated with this disease, with the relative answers. Is a disease (on the whole) harmless “I got it as a child and today I'm fine.” Think that measles is a disease from nothing is a lightness – unfortunately – very severe. As noted by the European Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (Ecdc), the european Union agency specializing in the prevention of diseases), only in 1980, shortly before the measles vaccine was available in mass, there were 2.6 million deaths attributable to the disease. The introduction of the vaccine has changed things, even if there are still those who are ill: in 2012 122mila people, mostly children, have died of measles. The main reason for the underestimation of the measles, paradoxically, lies in the success of the vaccination: the majority of the population – especially those born after the Seventies – he's never seen a person infected with measles and not realize how the disease could be severe. The truth is that measles is an infection that is fairly serious, that cannot be treated directly with the antiviral drugs: the maximum you can treat the symptoms. The rate of complications, ranging from ear infections, diarrhea and dehydration, respiratory tract infections up to blindness or encephalitis – is around 30%. That's more or less a case about three. Other disease from nothing. Better to immunize itself ammalandosi that with the vaccine, As we explained some time ago, commenting on the (not) news of the elusive chicken pox party, the practice of the contagion volunteer could have (perhaps) a sense before the introduction of vaccines, due to the fact that contracting a disease as a child reduced the probability to encounter the complications is the risk of losing days of work because of the forced rest due to illness, possibly contracted in adulthood. Today, things have changed a lot: the vaccine elicits the specific response of the immune system in a similar way, as would an infection in the true, inducing the body to produce antibodies to ad-hoc, but avoid hurt everywhere the symptoms and the risk to suffer the complications (or rather, more precisely: the side effects of the vaccine are extremely rare compared to the complications of infection). Moreover, the acquired immunity with the vaccination also helps the other: the vaccine, a difference of the infection, immunizes the individual without making it contagious. You can immunize with homeopathy? No. Why homeopathy does not work, or at least not working more than it would a placebo. And a placebo certainly would do little to prevent a contagion viral. In the words of the Ecdc: “repeatedly it has been shown that homeopathy is ineffective and based on mechanisms not plausible. The substances in homeopathic that aim to strengthen the immune system does not have any effectiveness in preventing the spread of infection. The only approach that works is to vaccination”. The vaccine Mpr puts at risk the health and can cause autism? The Istituto superiore di sanita (Iss) shows in the vaccine tetravalent Mprv (Measles, mumps, rubella, varicella (chicken pox) the “more states” to defend from the contagion children from 11 months up to 12 years of age, specifying that “the majority of people who vaccinate don't have adverse reactions”, even if “vaccines, like all drugs, are not without their potential risks, and, although rare, may occur adverse reactions following the vaccination. Generally these are minor and resolve spontaneously in a few days. Rarely, may occur more severe reactions",191,"italy"
"20312","The Ministry of Health, within their tips of vaccination in adulthood, establishes the recommendation to protect yourself from the measles who were born after 1970, unless they have already been vaccinated or have passed the disease. Two years ago, in 2017, the Department of Health adopted a calendar of vaccination in adulthood already showed the same recommendation among those who were born from 1968. But what happens to those born before that date? why is it not necessary to include in this umbrella? Because measles was a common disease in Spain, so that those over 50 have already had contact with the virus and are not susceptible of this protection. The gures corroborate. 98.2 % of the gallegos between 18 and 64 years have a level of antibodies to protective, according to a prevalence study carried out in 2013, ""and non there are reasons to think that this porcentaxe varies so remarkable."" Or alarm, or urgency to respond To the emergence of these recommendations, which in Galicia are in effect from 2017, the Sergas remember that there is no situation of urgency or alarm to get the shot. However, if any patient has doubts you can always go to your family doctor to assess the suitability of this immunization. Spain is a country free of measles, just as the ratification of the WHO. And that the World Health Organization qualifies as emergency of degree two the increase of the cases of this disease in the european region.

Lancashire, including Greater Manchester, had at least 10 cases of measles last year, and were among the top areas in the UK in scarlet fever reports with more than 175.  The revelation has come following a release of data from NHS England showing the level of Victorian diseases in the country today.  What else is on the rise?  The data, from NHS England, is based on the number of cases reported as both a primary diagnosis, the main reason for someone being admitted to hospital, and a secondary diagnosis, which someone may suffer from but not be the main reason they are in hospital.  Lancashire has also seen more than 365 cases of tuberculosis, which used to kill one in four people in 1850, more than 715 cases of malnutrition, 35 cases of whooping cough and 175 cases of scarlet fever which killed one in four people that were infected by it in the Victorian era.  Rickets, a condition which can affect bone strength and growth, also had more than 50 cases last year in Lancashire.  What are the symptoms of measles?  Cases of measles usually start with symptoms such as a runny or blocked nose, combined with sneezing, watery eyes, and swollen eyelids.  White spots in the mouth, a cough, and a rash can follow, with the disease also raising the chance of catching a more deadly disease such as pneumonia which can kill.

Public health officials in Los Angeles and Orange counties issued a warning Friday that people may have been exposed to the disease if they were at Disneyland or the Disney California Adventure Park on August 12.  The girl had measles when she arrived at Los Angeles International Airport on August 11 and went to the Desert Palms Hotel in Anaheim, officials said.  After Disneyland, she is believed to have gone to Universal Studios, the TCL Chinese Theatre and Madame Tussauds in Hollywood, and the Santa Monica beach and pier on August 14-15, authorities said.  Expert reveals how online trolls are spreading misinformation about vaccines that may have contributed to an outbreak of measles  The girl has since returned to New Zealand, according to Dr. Nichole Quick, Orange County's health care officer.  The California Department of Public Health said it wasn't aware of any measles cases resulting from exposure to the traveller but is continuing to investigate.  However, local health agencies said it can take up to 21 days after exposure for symptoms, such as fever and rash, to appear.  Dr. Muntu Davis, Los Angeles County's health officer, said: ""Measles is spread by air and by direct contact even before you know have it.""  Dr Quick urged anyone who has symptoms to call a health care provider before going to the doctor to avoid additional exposures.  People are also urged to check their records to see if they have been vaccinated or previously had measles.  What are measles? Measles is a highly contagious viral illness that can be prevented by taking the MMR vaccine. Because of the medical injection available, cases are relatively uncommon. But instances can spike rapidly if an outbreak occurs. While the infectious condition often clears up in under two weeks, it can sometimes lead to life-threatening complications. Viruses can be expelled when an infected person coughs or sneezing. These can then be inhaled by someone who comes into contact with droplets, which may remain in the air or settle on a surface. Spending just 15 minutes with someone who has measles can lead to the disease spreading. The NHS outlines the initial symptoms of measles… cold-like symptoms, such as a runny nose, sneezing, and a cough  sore, red eyes that may be sensitive to light  a high temperature (fever), which may reach around 40C (104F)  small greyish-white spots on the inside of the cheeks In the majority of cases, measles clears within a couple of weeks. To help alleviate your symptoms during this time, it may be advisable to take some painkillers, such as ibuprofen or paracetamol. Drinking plenty of water and getting some rest will also help the body to recover from the virus. In severe instances, patients may be admitted to hospital for treatment.  Dr Quick said she expects to see more measles cases, generally, among international travellers who visit California because of an increase in the illness overseas.  She said: ""We're in general concerned with the outbreaks going on in places in this country as well as internationally.  Measles cases are rising around the world. The number of cases nearly tripled globally during the first seven months of the year compared with the same period in 2018, the World Health Organisation reported this month.

The total number of cases estimated in 2018 amounted to 9,76 million, a rise of 28.7 %, which confirms the strong resurgence of the disease had been detected the previous year. This trend has given to the fret with fifteen years of steady progress, reflected in a 70% reduction of cases and deaths. ""There is a vaccine tested against the measles for over 50 years and is a collective failure that these outbreaks are occurring, and to increase cases and deaths, which occurs because people are not being adequately vaccinated"", said when presenting the annual data dr. Kate O'brien, director of immunization and vaccines to the WHO. Without the prospect of improvement, O'brien said that 2019 will end with a significant increase of cases, after a few major outbreaks in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (to 250,000 cases diagnosed so far), Madagascar (120,000) and Ukraine (50.000). In addition, so far this year, four countries that had 12 months without a record of cases that have suffered outbreaks (Uk, Greece, Albania and Czech Republic). Some flare-ups ""have their origin in the perception of the public about the vaccines, concerns about its safety,"" said the expert in reference to movements antivacunas that, in his opinion, must be combated with clear messages on the importance and reliability of the immunization campaigns. The case of Samoa, a warning to the world In this sense, O'brien cited the example of Samoa, country where the campaigns antivacunas made that would have a very low level of immunization among young children (around 30 %), which facilitated the extension of an outbreak, with 4,000 cases that have caused 53 dead, mostly minors. The antivacunas used a medical error that resulted in the death of two children on that island (the nurses mixed in a negligent manner in the antibody with a muscle relaxant expired) to sow doubts in the population, which contributed to the current outbreak, alarming for a country of less than 200,000 inhabitants. High incidence in Asia and Africa, the poor in Latin america By regions, southeast Asia was the most affected area in 2018 (a total of 3.8 million cases and 39.100 deaths), followed by Africa, with 1.75 million cases and 52.600 deaths, according to WHO estimates developed in collaboration with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention of the united States, an agency of the Department of Health of this country. Latin america, which in 2017 experienced a resurgence of measles, particularly in Venezuela or Brazil, but it was one of the regions with the least cases (83.500) and it is expected that in 2019 the decline to continue. The importance of the second dose The WHO and the Fund United Nations Children's fund (Unicef) remember that measles can be prevented with two doses of the vaccine during childhood, although many children receive only the first. These organizations see a need, at least 95 % of children are vaccinated in the world to slow the advance of the disease, and although the administration of the first dose is closer to this goal (86 %), the second is less than 70 %. ""We need to focus in strengthening immunization programmes country-by-country, and that the dose to be inoculated at ages as early as possible"", said O'brien, recalling that it is estimated that vaccination has saved 23 million lives in this century. Measles may facilitate the occurrence of life-threatening complications, such as pneumonia or encephalitis, especially in children under five years of age, and cause permanent brain damage, blindness or hearing loss. According to recent studies, this disease can also weaken over months or even years for the immune system although the sick person to recover, thus being more vulnerable to potentially fatal diseases such as the flu or severe diarrhea.",189,"spain"

"3778","Little Time? At the end of text there is a summary. Vaccinations can protect children against dangerous diseases. Some pathogens such as the smallpox virus are now regarded as eradicated, thanks to vaccination programmes. Yet, parents in the industry fear the Nations possible side effects, and not to have their children vaccinated. The result: Preventable diseases such as measles continue to spread. The Minister of health, Jens Spahn does not want to accept this any longer and calls for a mandatory vaccination against measles. The debate is already been going on for years in a more or less heated. According to Spahn, a majority for the mandatory vaccination on the horizon now, both in society as well as across party lines. A scheme would go according to Spahn, quickly implementable, Especially in community facilities such as schools and nurseries it is the responsibility not only for their own child, but for all, argues Spahn. Next week, the Grand coalition in Berlin will talk about a vaccination. ""If you want, you can implement such a scheme quickly,"" said Spahn. But where does the fear of Vaccinating at all? Many of the allegations of Impfgegnern have now been scientifically refuted. Only recently, researchers were able to exclude to a large-scale study in Denmark, once again, that a vaccination against measles, Mumps and rubella (MMR) can cause autism. However, such circulating false information are still in social networks, shows a recent study published in the journal ""Vaccine"". More on the topic of MIRROR Getty Images/iStockphoto Dr. Hackenbroch Why I let my child be vaccinated should be in addition to the fear of perceived side effects also conspiracy theories, lack of trust in science and a General preference of alternative medicine such as homeopathy circulating among Impfskeptikern. For the analysis, the researchers impfkritische Facebook had examined Postings from 197 individuals who commented on the Impfvideo a U.S. children's hospital. The study is not representative, but gives an insight into what moves opponents. ""We want to understand impfkritische parents, to give Doctors the opportunity to communicate with you and respectfully about the importance of immunization,"" says Brian Primack of the University of Pittsburgh, lead author of the study. The most impfkritischen comments came from mothers. The content of the Postings were four main arguments to allocate: Under the keyword ""trust"", the researchers collected contributions, the mistrust brought to the scientific and especially the medical Community is expressed. ""Alternative"" related posts, which focused on the vaccination of chemicals contained focus and, instead, homeopathic remedies propagated. ""Safety"" included those comments, in which it was feared Impfrisiken, such as the fear of autism. ""Conspiracy"" describes, finally, those contributions which argued that governments or other organisations to keep information about the dangers of vaccination back. The identification of these four groups does not mean that lump-sum messages for the Vaccination work, explains Co-author Beth Hoffman. ""Is someone in the trust group that vaccinations trigger autism, which has no effect, because the goods at all the concerns."" Therefore, it is important to develop tailor-made messages. In addition, the researchers advocate for a better mediation of media competence, more engaging education and more Social Media activities of physicians in impfkritischen Online discussions. Ten percent of the German advises skeptical of vaccinations, The pediatrician, Burkhard Rodeck, who was not involved in the study, to distinguish between impfkritischen and dogmatic parents: the Former arguments are still accessible, the latter not. In Germany, a good ten percent of the population, vaccination would be skeptical of - but only a small part of them reject you basically. Therefore, he considers Persuasion important: ""We need a vaccination coverage of over 95 percent, to diseases, to eradicate really."" In Germany, many people in the scientific community would no longer trust, apathy: ""A designation as a children's disease sounds cute, but just the example of measles shows that such diseases have a high potential for complications and is still spreading."" A General mandatory vaccination, he sees, however, is critical because these parents could serve as a deterrent and in other European countries have proven. According to the düsseldorf children's and Youth medicine Hermann-Josef Kahl, the less the opponents are, however, to the Problem, but rather that many parents forget vaccination dates. ""To do in practice, is not controlled in case of doubt, perhaps the vaccination card,"" says Kahl. In addition, some children are not vaccinated consistently. In order to be optimally against measles immunized, for example, are two vaccinations required. However, not all receive both of the vaccinations. Spahn calls, therefore, on a system that non-vaccinated adults can mitimpfen, if you go with your children to the doctor. Summarized: According to the Federal Minister of health, Jens Spahn, a mandatory vaccination could be implemented in Germany as quickly. Next week, the Grand coalition will be discussed. Scientific analyses show that the skepticism about vaccinations can have numerous causes. Researchers therefore call for comprehensive awareness programs.

Chikungunya is a disease caused by a virus transmitted by certain types of mosquitoes including the asian tiger mosquito). In the last few weeks were recorded eleven cases of Anzio and Rome, as confirmed by the Regional Surveillance of Infectious Diseases (Seresmi). The bird flu outbreak, even though limited – in 2007 in ravenna fell 250 people, have resulted in a small psychosis. The national Centre for blood and by the Lazio Region, in order to avoid infection, stopped blood donations in the Asl Rome 2, which covers the south east of the capital city and home to about 1.2 million people. The mayor Virginia Rays, has started a pest control mass. The existence of a vaccine for this type of disease in many have gone to the counters of health to apply. And the paradox is right here. While in Italy there are those who protest against the decree Lorenzin that makes it mandatory ten vaccines in order to apply for admission to the nursery and preschools (for children from 0 to 6 years of age), the phobia of Chikungunya seems to have sparked the race to the vaccine. And to think that the diseases identified by the ministry are far more dangerous to this “dengue fever”. From measles to polio, through the diphtheria, hepatitis B, rubella. Diseases seemed almost vanquished, but that in recent years have come back topical. And' the case of diphtheria, a disease that can damage or even destroy the organs and tissues"", eradicated in Italy in 1991 and resurfaced in 2016: in the last sixteen months, there are eight cases reported in our country. But it is especially in the case of measles: in the first eight months of 2017 there are 4.001 cases and 3 deaths, a marked increase compared with the 865 cases of 2016 and to 10 thousand in the past six years. The presence of serious disease and highly contagious from the Nineteenth century to the second world war killed an average of 100 infants per 1,000 live births, seems however not to worry the Italian citizens as the viruses come from who knows where. The name will be curious, the little experience that you have on the subject, but the terror of these diseases seems to expand as much as it narrows the fear of those who historically have made slaughter in Europe. It happened last year for Zika, of the sixty cases in Italy in a little less than sixteen months, we are serving up these days for Chikungunya. More than a century ago, a man who came from a small town in the veronese, and that he had the incredible gift of imagination, he described, sitting in the living room of his house, and distant landscapes, and magical in their cruelty, places that had never seen if not in a few photos in the catalogs of travel. The man wrote to his publisher: ""it is in remote places which our mind readers are passionate about the stories. What I write is what I see every day in our lands. Stories of hunger, desperation, injustice and the abuse of power that if tell set in Turin you would read none. We are attracted by the exotic, expect news from over the ocean and we forget what is happening in Italy"". Emilio Salgari had understood then what is still many times we ignore today.",188,"italy"

Only in the Ukraine, with more than half of the cases: more than 23-thousand cases. The seven states with the greatest number of cases of measles, have also reported deaths related to the disease. Serbia is the country with the most deaths — 14 of the total of 37 in the region. The director of the european region of the WHO, Zsuzsanna Jakab, has considered the increase in cases, “dramatic”, and he appealed to all the members of the european union to apply, without delay, measures that are appropriate to the context in order to prevent the disease from spreading even more. “Health starts with prevention,” he recalled. The WHO has pointed out that the measles virus is “very contagious” and transmitted rapidly between people at risk, noting that, in order to prevent outbreaks, it is necessary to, at least, an immunization coverage of 95% with two doses of a vaccine each and every year, in every community. In addition to this, he says, it is essential to be able to come in and vaccinate children, adolescents, and adults who have not been vaccinated in a systematic manner in the past. Although the coverage of the vaccine has passed in the last year, from 88% to 90% of all children under the age of vaccination, there still exist large differences in the level of the local, said the WHO, which states there are communities with up to 95% coverage, and others who are below 70%. According to the latest figures from the Commission to the European region for the purposes of verifying the elimination of measles and rubella, and 43 of its 53 member countries have already stopped transmission of endemic measles. Portugal made this year an outbreak of measles in the Northern region, have been confirmed 112 cases between February and April, and 103 of them with a link to the Santo António hospital, in Porto. All of the cases that have been cured. The Directorate-General for Health (DGS) recommends that the Portuguese people to check their vaccination records and if vacinem, if necessary, and to call the number to 808 24 24 24 if you have been in contact with a suspected case of the measles, or you have any questions. According to the DGS, and in people who get the disease, it may arise as a result of a clinical picture more mild and less contagious. Those who have already had measles are immune and will not get the disease. The measles vaccine is part of the National Program on Immunization should be administered at 12 months of age and at the age of five.",188,"portugal"

"1577","The number of children who get measles, increases significantly. The last few years all over the world registered approximately one-third more cases of the severe virus that also affects adults, and which in the worst case can be fatal. According to new figures from the world health organization. Just a few years ago as it would otherwise appear that the disease was close to being eradicated. But now, “we risk losing decades of progress”, says the deputy director of the vaccination programmes in the WHO, Soumya Swaminathan, in a statement. - It is very worrying that the measles has resurfaced with renewed outbreaks in several regions, and especially in the countries that had or was close to having - eliminated measles, says Soumya Swaminathan in the opinion. Myths about vaccines There have been outbreaks throughout the world. But the biggest increases are in Europe, the Middle east and South and north America. For example, in Venezuela due to the maslingerne, to the hospital system and the health sector is close to collapse. In Africa, there are areas where there are few or no available on the vaccines. In the developed parts of the world for example Europe, due to the fact that parents opt out of vaccinating their children. Either because of indifference to the disease, concludes the WHO, or because of the rumors about the MMR vaccine and the false and erroneous information that it may have side effects such as for example autism. However, there may be side effects of the vaccine. For example, a bit of fever. And with 10 percent of beneficiaries, it is also the rash the days after. The disease is a virus, particularly affecting infants and children, and which can provide, for example, cough, high fever and rash and in severe cases loss of vision, meningitis, and even death. According to the WHO died last year, 110,000 persons of the measles. Most of them were children. Eradicated in Denmark at Least 95 of a population must be immune in order to stop the spread of measles.

For the first of the two vaccines is that close to 95 percent of a year group, as receiving the vaccine. And slightly lower connection to the connector number two, informs Peter Henrik Andersen. Measles can, however, still hit in Denmark. There will still some scattered cases, even if it is destroyed. Beware of measles on the journey, But there are also certain vintages, as should be careful when they travel abroad. - Those who get measles in Denmark, young adults who were children during the period in which the connection to the vaccine fell, says Peter Henrik Andersen. In 1998, the british researcher Andrew Wakefield an article in which he showed a connection between the MMR vaccine and autism. His research has since been withdrawn because it was forged and fabricated. But it was the beginning to a number of persistent myths about the MMR vaccine, who got the parents to opt out of the vaccine.

A disappearance is the sequel to a young man of 26 years in June, in Marseille, and a mother of 32 years in February, at Poitiers. So many deaths that, as the hammer of the health authorities, could likely have been avoided. Measles is not a benign disease. After an incubation period of one to three weeks, the virus causes flu-like symptoms, and then the appearance of rashes. In most cases, the disease disappears of itself, but it can also cause serious infectious complications : otitis media, severe pneumonia, encephalitis (inflammation of the brain). Since January 1, 2018, the MMR vaccine (measles, mumps, rubella) is required in the infant. A highly contagious virus That vaccination has a dual purpose. As an individual, it of course allows you to protect against the disease. After an MMR immunization complete – a first dose at 12 months followed by a booster between 16 and 18 months, one is almost certain to be protected. (In the absence of a recall, the vaccine protects in less than 9 cases on 10.). But the measles virus continues to circulate within the population. In fact, a population is not fully vaccinated. Some people may not be because of medical contraindications (immune deficiency, pregnancy, allergy to the vaccine) or a refusal of the parents (movement antivax). Others benefit from a support to be inadequate, because of a personal history chaotic (migration, school dropout, etc.) or bad organization (forget the reminder). Low level of immunization That is why the vaccination is not only an individual act : it also helps to protect others. This effect, called herd immunity, helps stop the spread of the disease by breaking the chain of infections. The video below illustrates the phenomenon : beyond a certain threshold of protection, the virus does more : he is on the brink of extinction. Source : theotheredmund on Reddit. This threshold level of protection depends on the virulence of the disease. The measles virus is very contagious, much more than that of the flu : in a population not immune, a person can infect between 12 and 18 people ! To achieve a protection group to be satisfactory, the experts have calculated that a 95% vaccination coverage of the population was necessary. It is very far away. To this day, the rate of vaccination to two years for the MMR vaccine varies from 62% to 88% according to the department. Since November 2017, more than 2500 cases of measles have been identified on the territory, in particular in the Gironde (24%), in Vienna (8%) and the Gard (6%). In nearly 9 out of 10 people contracting the measles were not vaccinated.",185,"france"

The hospitalized from January to today there are 167 people sick, a number that is certainly important if you take into account that the virus Paramyxovirus, responsible for the infection, is treated from 1963 through the vaccine. The disaster was recorded between march and April, the months in which Catania has experienced the death of a twenty three year old, a twenty-seven and even a baby of a few months, the latter because of complications related to the disease. But one should not underestimate, however, the exposure and the risk of contagion. At the moment, the Garibaldi are admitted to the most serious cases: a twenty-one year old in intensive care, a forty-year-old and a sixty-year-old. Moreover, in the first days of June were recorded, four hospitalizations during a single day. The more exposed to the risks of contagion are not only children, but also the age group ranging from twenty to fifty years. The latter often underestimate the disease, considered by common sense to a problem only to the most tender age. Instead, it is about two years that in Italy there are cases, some lethal, measles, which arouse the attention and concern of public health.",185,"italy"

"6009","The question of vaccines, from the point of view of the so-called “free-market” which, in recent times, have replaced the “no vax” is addressed from the point of view of freedom of choice. That is to say that those who want to vaccinate (or vaccinated) is free to do so as those who will not vaccinate their children – for reasons most bizarre – they can do it because “where there is risk there must be the possibility to choose”. Suddenly, however, the cumbersome logic antivaccinista of the free-market has begun to show signs of weakening after the announcement by the minister of Health, Giulia Grillo to put in place some practical measures to encourage the vaccination anti-measles even in individuals with more than sixteen years of age. The plan of the ministry to vaccinate eight hundred thousand adolescents in order To increase the vaccination coverage the experts of the Ministry of Health are working on a new plan for the elimination of measles. Among the hypotheses to the study, there is the possibility of introducing incentive measures such as agreements with the sports federations (for the vaccination of athletes) and more in general in order to convince adolescents to get vaccinated against the measles. The median age of 2.295 cases of measles recorded in Italy from the beginning of the year is 25 years, and then it turns out that the age range of 15-39 years is the one less covered (because at the time there was no obligation). Just like asking for years for free-from vax, the Ministry does not want to focus on compulsion but on persuasion, and on the recommendation. A principle of this is stated already, during the election campaign by the advisor to the vaccination policy of the M5S that in what was presented as the official position of the Movement on vaccination had already indicated as the preferred route of the recommendation. Consistently, however today to the parents of the “no obligation” for the “freedom of choice” that they have always said that the recommendation was the right way to the idea not like at all. Will be that maybe the problem is not the obligation of a vaccine, but the vaccine against the measles? The freevax ""betrayed"" by the 5 Star Movement, To open the dances is the association of life under the microscope – that supports research of an electron microscope for the spouses Montanari – that in a post on Facebook joking about the ""maxi "" plan"" of the Ministry with ""incentives to 800 thousand young people from the discounts at the university, as well as gift points on the driving licence"". To increase the vaccination coverage, the Ministry would be thinking of incentives and measures that punterebbero right to a facilitation in the mechanisms connected precisely to the access to public competitions or to the location of the university. The Day today, writes that among the “incentives”, there could also be a bonus on the points of the driving licence (but there are no items for this seen that also Demicheli speaks of offering the vaccine to the students of the universities and not for novice drivers). Apparently not even that voluntary participation is fine. Because – as they explain – it means that the State has sold the nationals to the pharmaceutical companies. There are no vaccines for free, say free-vax, there are the citizens-the goods. And it is true that there are no vaccines for free, since you pay them the National Health Service. On the other hand, it is known that the pharmaceutical companies are better off to sell the cures for the diseases that can be prevented with vaccines the vaccines themselves. For the pure hard-of antivaccinismo, however, it is a betrayal on the part of the 5 Star Movement. All even if the M5S had clarified well before the vote to be in favour of the highest vaccination coverage possible. This coverage is not achieved with the post on Facebook but putting procedures in place to encourage or to force people to get vaccinated. From the moment that the “free-market” we have made a head against the obligation remains not an alternative: to recommend vaccination. But after taking the obligation is flexible and the exemptions to the presentation of the certificates vaccination for access to nursery and kindergarten the free-vax wants more: it wants that no one can be vaccinated. Which is a denial of the terms of the “freedom of choice”. But it is clear that freedom of choice is only the one who does not want to be vaccinated and it does not apply to those who, either because it is motivated by the provisions of the Ministry you want because he trusts most of the serious scientists that doctors struck off from the register, decided to get vaccinated. It would be interesting, however, that the free-vax or the novax we would explain what risk he runs a boy of 18 years that you vaccinate against the measles?

""The reinstatement of the transmission of measles is worrying. If it is not achieved and maintained a high immunization coverage in all communities, both children and adults will suffer needlessly and some will die tragically"", commented the president of the RVC, Günter Pfaff. On the basis of this report, the WHO has warned that, after several years of ""steady progress"" towards the elimination of measles in Europe, the number of countries that have achieved or maintained the eradication of the disease ""has decreased"". By the end of 2018, it is considered that 35 european countries have achieved and maintained measles elimination (compared with 37 in 2017), 2 have interrupted the endemic transmission of the measles (during 12 to 35 months), 12 remain endemic in the case of measles, and 4 that had eliminated the disease have been re-established transmission of measles. These are United Kingdom, Greece, Albania and the Czech republic. Austria and Switzerland, for its part, reached the state of elimination, having demonstrated the interruption of endemic transmission for at least 36 months. WHO remembers that, as he did in a report published on the 12th of August, the rise in cases that began in 2018 has continued in 2019, with approximately 90,000 cases reported during the first half of the year. This figure is already higher than that recorded for the whole of 2018 (84.462). Rubella, improves The RVC has also determined, in contrast, that the situation of the rubella has improved. 39 countries achieved or maintained state-of-removal (compared with 37 in 2017), 3 had interrupted endemic transmission (compared to 5 in 2017), and 11 countries still considered endemic rubella.

"24016","iStock  A measles vaccine has existed since 1963. Yet, today, the World Health Organisation has been forced to issue a warning stating Europe is experiencing a fresh outbreak of the virus. Since January, at least 559 cases have been reported and any region in Europe where immunisation is below the recommended 95 per cent will be most at risk.  Map of vaccine-preventable diseases shows prevalence of measles in the UK Maps Map of vaccine-preventable diseases shows prevalence of measles in the UK  Advertisement  The majority of the cases have been reported in France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Romania, Switzerland and Ukraine, where vaccination levels for the second dose are below this threshold. The WHO reports that numbers appeared to be on the rise in February.  “With steady progress towards elimination over the past two years, it is of particular concern that measles cases are climbing in Europe,” WHO regional director for Europe, Dr Zsuzsanna Jakab, said in a statement.  Read next Map of vaccine-preventable diseases shows prevalence of measles in the UK Map of vaccine-preventable diseases shows prevalence of measles in the UK  “Today’s travel patterns put no person or country beyond the reach of the measles virus. Outbreaks will continue in Europe, as elsewhere, until every country reaches the level of immunisation needed to fully protect their populations.”  What is measles? Measles is highly contagious, causing flu-like symptoms, rashes and fevers. Related complications such as pneumonia and encephalitis, particularly in young children, can lead to death in some cases. It can be spread through the air and survive on surfaces for two hours. There is no treatment for the initial virus. Because of its contagious nature, the WHO has warned that any country is at risk of this spreading outbreak.  In recent years, Romania has been the worst affected, with 17 deaths and 3,400 cases in 2016 and three types of the virus being transmitted reportedly from other European countries. In Italy, there have been 238 cases in January alone.  Advertisement  The measles vaccine is most commonly administered as a combination vaccine, known as MMR (measles, mumps and rubella). Children must receive a second booster dose for it to take effect, and one concern is that if that process is not easy enough for parents, immunisation numbers will continue to drop.  In the UK, the NHS says parents will receive an automatic appointment letter when their child is due to be vaccinated. However, it’s unclear whether this is universal. (This WIRED parent can attest to never receiving said letter, neither for first vaccinations or followup reminders. In the particular borough we live in, the onus seems to be on the parent to be proactive.) Some parents may also be reluctant to vaccinate their children over safety fears. However, vaccines have repeatedly proven to be the safest way to protect a population from the dangers of multiple diseases and are far safer than the alternative.  Dr Jakab said local health authorities need to step up their action, now: “I urge all endemic countries to take urgent measures to stop transmission of measles within their borders, and all countries that have already achieved this to keep up their guard and sustain high immunisation coverage. Together we must make sure that the hard-earned progress made towards regional elimination is not lost.”",185,"uk"

June 23, nearly 115 000 suspected cases of measles had been reported, significantly more than 65 000 registered cases in 2018. Ituri, one of the two provinces hit by the Ebola epidemic (the other is the North-Kivu), has registered more than 5 400 cases and 50 deaths. ""For the thousands of families living in idp camps are overcrowded and unsanitary, the threat combined Ebola and measles is unprecedented,"" said Edouard Beigbeder, UNICEF representative in the DRC. ""We have the opportunity to prevent a loss of life, potentially on a mass scale. ""The first sites targeted by the vaccination campaign are the four camps of internally displaced persons in the town of Bunia, who have experienced a massive influx of displaced families in recent weeks. One of these camps is located 100 metres from a treatment center Ebola, and within 3 kilometres of the areas in which 5 cases of Ebola have been recorded since the beginning of the epidemic, including 2 in the last three weeks. Because of the Ebola epidemic, the vaccination campaign against measles should include additional measures for the protection and sorting. The health workers should wear gowns to prevent contact with blood or other biological fluids. The teams will include a health officer additional that will check for the temperatures, will assess and refer suspected cases of Ebola and supervise the washing of hands and other prevention measures. The fact that some of the early symptoms of Ebola - fever, redness around the eyes, diarrhea - can practically not be distinguished from those of measles, malaria, or cholera - diseases that are common in sites with very large populations - escalate the situation. It is estimated that nearly 400,000 people are displaced within the Ituri province, the vast majority of whom are women and children. The majority of them live in one of the 35 camps located throughout the province, on a territory that is almost inaccessible due to insecurity. Clashes between various armed groups have damaged or destroyed nearly half of the health facilities and schools in the province. ""The north-eastern part of the DRC is the theatre of one of the worst humanitarian crises.

Measles is a highly infectious viral illness that can lead to serious complications and in rare cases can be fatal.  The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control has reported a high risk of measles in Europe, with cases being imported and exported between countries. This is largely due to lower MMR vaccine uptake in many European countries. Romania, Italy, Germany, Greece and France are all currently experiencing large measles outbreaks.  Although the overall risk to the UK population is low, in England there have been 168 laboratory confirmed measles cases this year. London, South East, West Midlands and the South West regions have reported the most cases. About half of the cases in England in 2018 have been in people over 15 years of age.  Whilst MMR vaccine coverage for the routine childhood programme is high in the UK, anyone who has missed out on MMR vaccine or has not had measles in the past is at risk of catching the disease.  The vaccine is available to all adults and children who are not up to date with their 2 doses. It is offered to children at 1 year of age with a pre-school booster at 3 years and 4 months.

In the first quarter of 2019, WHO registered a dramatic rise in infections: Worldwide, more than 112.000 cases were reported, four times as many as in the prior-year period. While in rich countries the spread of the measles goes back mainly to an increasing Impfskepsis, play elsewhere, religious motives, a role. In poor areas of the world many people have simply no access to the measles vaccination. Measles is a viral disease that is transmitted faster than the flu or Ebola.

In the U.S., the highest number of patients in the 25 years and counting. The largest outbreaks occurred in countries where there is relatively little to be vaccinated will be. But even in countries where vaccinations are done, the number of patients is increasing, as is the coverage within a country can sometimes be a very uneven distributed.

""Young adults are not always vaccinated or the vaccination is not properly received,"" says Devroey, still. ""The vaccine should have two times, one time, at a very young age, and for the second time in the teenage years. People older than 45, and the disease is often already taken place, and are therefore immune."" According to Devroey, there is no reason to panic, but it is necessary to take measures to protect.

"458","Unicef on Friday launched a cry of alarm at the resurgence of measles in the world, noting that ten countries, including Brazil, Ukraine and France, were responsible for about three-quarters of the total increase in cases in 2018.Globally, 98 countries have reported a greater number of cases of measles in 2018 compared to 2017, and this hinders the progress made in the fight against this disease is highly preventable, but potentially fatal, notes the Un agency for children (UN) in a news release. ""This is a wake-up call. We have a vaccine that is safe, effective, and inexpensive compared to a highly contagious disease - a vaccine that has saved nearly a million lives each year over the past two decades,"" said Henrietta Fore, director general of Unicef. The Ukraine, the Philippines, and Brazil have experienced the most significant increase in the annual case. In 2018, 35.120 cases have been reported in the Ukraine alone, or about 30,000 more than in 2017. And according to the government 24.042 additional people were infected during the first two months of 2019. In Brazil, 10.262 cases have been reported, while no cases had been reported the previous year. In France, the increase between 2017 and 2018 was 2.269 cases, according to Unicef. The poor infrastructure of health, civil unrest, low community awareness, the complacency and reluctance in the face of vaccination have sometimes led to these epidemics in the developed and developing countries, according to the agency. The world health Organization (WHO) has already alerted about an outbreak of measles in the world, responding to an increase of about 50% of the cases reported last year compared to 2017, making 136.000 dead. The resurgence of this disease, the more contagious as influenza or tuberculosis, is linked in some countries to be claims without medical basis linking the measles vaccine (MMR) to autism, in part disseminated on social media by members of the movement, said the ""anti-vax"". Last month, the WHO classified ""the hesitation with regard to the vaccine"" among the 10 major threats to the health world the most pressing in 2019. The WHO, however, recalled recently that ""the primary reason"" for the failure in the vaccination of children is that ""those who need it the most (...) do not have access to the vaccine"".

"2346","130 cases, 32 hospitalizations. This is the balance sheet of the measles in France since the 1st of last November. According to the health authorities, 81% of these cases were reported in New Aquitaine, mainly in the Gironde and in Vienna. If one remains far from the peak of 2011 and despite the entry into force of the obligation to be vaccinated, the low immunization coverage continues to worry public health authorities. What is the extent of the damage ? According to the regional Agency of health of New-Aquitaine, cited by Le Parisien, ""currently, there are six new cases reported per day"", which is approximately five times for the only New Aquitaine that for the whole of the national territory by 2017. ""It is necessary to stop it quickly,"" adds the ARS. With 130 cases in a little less than three months, the epidemic remains certainly light years ahead of the peak of 2011 (15,000 persons had been affected by the disease). But after being significantly decelerated (79 cases in 2016), the disease seems to be progressing again. In 2017, almost 500 cases had already been recorded, a record since 2011, with a focus particularly strong in Lorraine. A death has been deplored in Marseille this summer (a teenager of 16 years, the tenth in ten years). And with the measles, the numbers can quickly ignite. Particularly affecting young adults and children, it is a viral infection that is highly contagious, knowing that an infected person ""can infect between 15 and 20 people"", remind the health authorities. ""It is a disease to be taken seriously"" with possible serious neurological complications, and even death, insists the ARS. ""Virus circulation remains active in several departments, France is not immune to a new outbreak of scale important, such as those seen currently in several european countries, first among which Romania (5290 cases between January 1, 2016 and may 5 2017, including 25 deaths),"" says Public Health France on his last newsletter. Vaccination coverage far from satisfactory, What most worries the experts is that the coverage is still not up to par. Since 2008, no department provides immunization coverage to 95% of its population, the threshold recommended by the world health Organization to avoid spread of the disease. Today, only five French departments are approaching painfully of the 85% coverage (Ain, Haute-Saône, Ile-de-France, Seine-Saint-Denis, Val-de-Marne). And eight of them even display a coverage of less than 70% (Orne, Lot, Jura, Gers, Aude, Ariege, Hautes-Alpes and the Meeting), the last place, returning to the Hautes-Alpes, with 61.9 per cent (details here). ""This low level of immunization can be explained in particular by the controversy caused by a study published in 1998 in the Lancet by the british Andrew Wakefield, making the link between the vaccine and autism,"" said the World on the 26th of January last. And to continue : ""even though the study in question was strictly contradicted by all the research later, that the journal had published was retracted, it was severely marred by shortcomings, methodological (it was based on a study of twelve patients only) and motivated by the funding of its author, the media impact that it has had on western public opinion has fuelled a distrust that endures"". Do you vaccinate, even if you are already sick, The vaccine coverage in New Aquitaine is ""not enough"" and ""varies from 70.8% to 81% when the WHO,"" says the LRA. 84% of cases infected were not vaccinated at all, and others had, for the most part, received only one dose of the vaccine against two recommended. The trivalent vaccine against measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine was recommended in early infancy, at 12 and 18 months (two doses), before becoming mandatory in January last. It can be caught at any age if doubt exists or if the two doses were not administered. If the first symptoms appear, you still have 72 hours to get vaccinated. Measles is a viral infection that the first symptoms are a high fever, followed by a cough, or conjunctivitis, diarrhea, tasks in the interior of the mouth and then, finally, red points on the whole body. It is transmitted mainly by air (it can survive two hours in the air) and can lead to very serious complications : acute swelling of the brain, severe lung infection or even blindness, coma or death.

Up to now, the total annual highest cases of measles between 2010 and 2017 was 23.927 last year, and the lowest was 5.273 in 2016. The monthly reports of the countries also indicate that at least 37 people have died due to measles so far this year. ""After the number of cases is the lowest of the decade in 2016, we are seeing a dramatic increase in infections and outbreaks.

Seven countries of the European Region of the WHO have suffered at least 1,000 infections in children and adults this year, namely France, Georgia, germany, Greece, Italy, Russia, Serbia and Ukraine. This last state has been the most affected, with more than 23,000 people infected, which represents more than half of the regional total. Reported measles-related deaths in all these countries, and Serbia reported the highest number of deaths. According to the latest evaluation of the European Commission Check for Regional Elimination of Measles and Rubella (RVC, for its acronym in English), published on Monday, 43 of the 53 member states of the Region have interrupted the propagation of endemic measles and 42 have managed to stop the rubella, according to reports from 2017. In view of these data, RVC has expressed ""its concern about the surveillance, inappropriate disease and low immunization coverage in some countries."" It has also come to the conclusion that the chains of measles transmission continued for more than 12 months in some countries that had interrupted the spread of endemic disease, returning to its state endemic. ""This backward part proves that every person who is not immune is still vulnerable no matter where you live, and each country must continue to pressure to increase the coverage and close the gaps immune, even after achieving the state interrupted or eliminated,"" said dr. Nedret Emiroglu, director, Division of Health Emergencies and Communicable Diseases of the WHO Regional Office for Europe. Measles can be stopped, The measles virus is exceptionally contagious and is easily spread among susceptible individuals. To prevent outbreaks, according to details the WHO, you need at least 95 per cent coverage of immunization with 2 doses of measles-containing vaccine in each country and each year, as well as efforts to reach children, adolescents, and adults who missed routine vaccination in the past. While the coverage of immunization with 2 doses of vaccine increased from 88 percent of the eligible children in the Region in 2016 to 90 percent in 2017, there remain ""large disparities"" at the local level: some countries report over 95 percent of coverage and other below 70 per cent. ""We must celebrate our achievements without losing sight of those who are still vulnerable and for whose protection requires our urgent attention and permanent. We can stop this deadly disease, but we can't succeed unless all do their part: to immunize their children, to themselves, their patients, their populations, and also to remind others that vaccination saves lives,"" concludes dr.

The severity lies primarily in the frequent complications, such as inflammation of the lungs, bronchi, ears, and central nervous system, explained to us the expert - epidomiológ and chief public health officer of the Slovak republic. How is measles spread? the source of infection is a sick person spread is through the air, which is contaminated with fecal exposure of the upper respiratory tract of the patient, especially between the neočkovanými population groups - in particular between neočkovanými groups of the population rarely occurs to the transmission or indirectly through contaminated objects, and contaminated hands (sekrétom of the upper respiratory tract or the conjunctiva) inkubačný time is 8 – 12 days, average 10 days, the Process of spread of disease has 3 conditions: the presence of a source of the originator of disease transmission to the originator of the disease, the presence of vnímavej of the person - therefore the person does not have antibodies against the disease (can be obtained either dropped out, or overcoming the disease) From the point of view of the health of the population, it is important that susceptible individuals were in the risk age groups as at least, as each presents a risk. What are the symptoms of live measles? the first 3 days of the measles manifested katarálnym stage - ie. the disease appears as an acute inflammation of the upper respiratory tract - runny nose, inflammation of the nosohltanu, cough, increase of temperature, inflammation of the spojoviek) exhibit katarálnym stage - ie. the disease looks like - fever, inflammation of the nosohltanu, cough, increase of temperature, inflammation of the spojoviek) the child has, the tearful“ the facial expression on the oral mucosa in the area of the chairs to reveal the yellowish whitish and / spots with začervenaným the surroundings the so-called Koplikove spots surroundings the so-called Koplikove spots osýpkové rashes begin to appear up to 4. to 5. day of the disease and are the red, splývavé, spread on face, neck, abdomen and limbs, and persist for about 4 - 7 days. Sometimes they have the measles milder course, at other times, in turn, harder to begin with to discover the disease and are the red, splývavé, spread on face, neck, abdomen and limbs, and persist for about 4 - 7 days. Sometimes they have the measles milder course, at other times, in turn, the heavier, the sick person is contagious from the beginning of the disease until the disappearance výsypu just for children has a disease of the most serious course and frequent complications are particularly to 3 years, how Much and how is measles treated? when nekomplikovaných cases, it takes the disease of approx. 10 – 14 days for measles neúčinkujú antibiotics because they cause the viruses , because viruses cause treatment is just supportive , the body with the infection has to cope alone , the organism with the infection has to cope alone after the live measles is the immunity of a man lifetime, after zaočkovaní long-term Measles in Slovakia, the Slovaks, the threat concerns, especially after it turned out that the numbers zaočkovanosti against osýpkam fell below the critical threshold of 95 %. Currently in california confirmed the already 6. the case of the disease, overall 6 sick on measles. The virus circulates in european populations, epidemics are currently in Romania, Austria, Germany, Italy and Belgium, at the regional level with us was detected zaočkovanosť below 95 % in 4 regions: Bratislavský kraj - 92,9 % Trenčín region - 92,1 % of the banska bystrica region - 94,2 % of the Kosice region - 94,6 % Why parents stránia vaccination of their children? According to experts from the Institute of experimental psychology of the Slovak academy of sciences Mary Hatokovej in particular: the fear of parents for the health of your own child neakceptovanie medical authority they do not Realize, however, the need to maintain the collective immunity and that the failure to file a vaccine may endanger the life of not only their child but other people, such as immunosuppressed and the like, May be osýpkami infect even the vaccinated person? To be a child to protect, while there is still before the first vaccination? Receive neočkované kids into teams? Source: archive of PHA of the SR These other important issues that currently occupy our moms we asked the main hygienikovi SR and epidemiológovi one hour RNDr. Md. John Mikasovi Phd: Zaočkovanosť in Slovakia according to the available information decreases, there will be measles and therefore also for us? The amount of epidemics the live measles is evidence that the disease constantly circulates in the population. Due to the decline in the zaočkovanosti against osýpkam in the Slovak republic is a theoretically possible occurrence of small epidemics, if there is an import of the live measles in the nezaočkovanej community. Can a child become infected osýpkami between the first and second dose? Measles are among the most serious diseases of children's age, for that reason, in accordance with the vaccination record calendar valid in the Slovak republic regular compulsory vaccination. Currently in Slovakia uses trivalentná očkovacia substance against osýpkam, rubella and mumpsu. The first dose of vaccine is administered in 15. up to 18. month age of the child, the second dose at 11. year of life. For more preočkovanie is not carried out. After the first dose of vaccine produces 93% immunity after the second dose, 97% (source: Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) No očkovacia substance is not effective on 100 %. After the first dose of vaccine is already creates a level of antibodies that the child protects against the occurrence of the disease. PHA of the SLOVAK republic in cooperation with the VŠZP has brought in this context for the public simple and practical - an electronic form of Očkovacieho calendar 2017. At the same time, the ASSESSMENT of the SLOVAK republic in the second quarter of 2017 to distribute practical form Očkovacieho calendar 2017 to the public through its regional branches as well as the insertion of očkovacieho calendar in the information package that they receive rodičky in maternity wards at birth of the child. As it is with the immune system after vaccination or after the illness? Can a person osýpkami become infected anyway? Immunity after overcoming the live measles is lifetime, after vaccination, the long-term. It is expected that immunity after natural infection with the virus live measles is a lifetime (source: Vaccines, Plotkin, Orenstein, 4. ed.) As I have previously stated, when vaccination after the first dose of vaccine produces 93% immunity after the second dose 97% Can prevent disease, if we are at home even nezaočkované child? Believe caution is justified? Currently, there are measles in Slovakia eliminated, t.j. without the occurrence of the disease. The last home of the disease were in Slovakia recorded in 1998. In the following years, were recorded only 3 imported diseases, which were further broadcast their healing. Preventive measures include health education of the population, the monitoring of collective immunity and security, the national surveillance live measles, the aim of which is eradikácia live measles (eradication). This would help the situation, if nezaočkované children have not been taken into jaslí or dividing, should such a regulation make sense? Tightening of the acceptance of children into the dividing only one of the measures. Failure to neočkovaného of the child into pre-school facility would require a change in legislation and the wider debate. What you would in the current situation, recommending to parents? I recommend to parents who did not zaočkovať their children because of scientifically unconfirmed information and arguments from the parties antivakcinačných activists to contact their pediatrician and discuss the possibility of zaočkovania of their children. The regional offices of the public health sector in the SLOVAK republic are established by the counseling vaccination, where experts from the field of epidemiology to provide parents with a free consultation in the context of a vaccination. The importance of compulsory vaccination as well as the risk that threatens the child in the case, that will not be vaccinated, zooms also očkujúci doctor. If the parent refuses to give child zaočkovať, does not expose the risk of the disease, only your own child but also other children are susceptible to infection, neočkované because of contraindications, or if not reached even the intended age of vaccination. Why can also be nezaočkované kids the ones who spread the disease? The disease belongs to the najnákazlivejším a contagious disease and spreads rapidly through the air, especially between neočkovanými groups of the population. The source of the originator of the infection is sick person. Measles is transmitted through the air, which is contaminated with fecal exposure of the upper respiratory tract of the patient. Rarely occurs to the transmission or indirectly through contaminated objects, and contaminated hands (sekrétom of the upper respiratory tract or the conjunctiva). For the process of spread of disease are characterized by three conditions whose existence is necessary for its implementation: the presence of a source of the originator of the disease, making transmission of the originator of disease and the presence of vnímavej person. A responsive individual is a person who does not have antibodies against the disease, while antibodies can be obtained either dropped out, or overcoming the disease. From the point of view of the health of the population, it is important that susceptible individuals were in the risk age groups as at least, as every sensitive person is the risk that the zavlečení disease becomes infected and will spread the infection further. It is therefore important for preventing the spread of communicable disease in the population to ensure sufficient collective immunity. What are the symptoms of live measles and how long does the incubation period? Inkubačný time live measles is 8 to 12 days, average 10 days. Disease in children occurs very typically with trojdňovým prodomálnym katarálnym stage (acute inflammation of the upper respiratory tract - runny nose, inflammation of the nosohltanu, cough, increase of temperature, inflammation of the spojoviek), the child has, the tearful“ facial expression. On the oral mucosa in the area of the chairs to reveal the yellowish whitish and / spots with začervenaným the surroundings the so-called Koplikove spots. Osýpkové rashes are red, splývavé. Begin to emerge at 4. to 5. day of disease on the header and spread on face, neck, abdomen and limbs, and persist for about 4 - 7 days. Sometimes they have the measles milder course, at other times turn harder. Period nákazlivosti is from the beginning of the disease until the disappearance exantému. Overcome the disease will ensure a lifetime of immunity. The disease has the most significant course in both children and frequent complications among children under 3 years of age and in adults. When it is already sick of a contagious and dangerous for others? Period nákazlivosti is especially at the beginning of the katarálneho stage (first 3 days), less after revelations is exantému (from the first breakouts), and then even up to the water exantému (that is, the water is výsypu, note. editors) How is measles treated? When nekomplikovaných cases, the illness lasts 10 to 14 days. The measles neúčinkujú antibiotics, because viruses cause. Treatment is only supportive, the body with the infection has to cope alone.

"79","Until Wednesday heuer 64 measles have been reported in Austria cases. Were affected after the recent outbreak in Carinthia, all the länder, with the exception of lower Austria and the Burgenland. 36 diseases there were in the province of Styria, 15 in Salzburg, four in Carinthia and Tyrol, three in Vienna and one each in upper Austria and Vorarlberg, the Figures of the AGES. Once more, there was the appeal to check their own vaccination status. In Austria, there are large gaps, especially in the second part of the vaccination. Adequately protected, it is a rubella only after two vaccinations against measles-Mumps-or in the case of the detection of the antibody level in the blood (titer determination) Sagittarius, if you have the disease already. Many adults in the school, only one vaccination. The vaccination rate was updated in the year 2017. At that time, there were 48,000, a two - to five-year-old children, which is the second measles vaccination was missing, and 27,000 children under the age of six to nine years and even half a Million 15 - to 30-Year-old, are not adequately protected against measles. Anyone who has any doubt as to his vaccination status, should be nachimpfen. An ""Inoculation"" is not possible. The effective, well-tolerated vaccine is available to all persons without age restriction at public vaccination centres available free of charge. Measles is not a harmless children's disease, the consequences can be severe. In the case of 20 out of 100 cases of measles complications such as Bronchitis, middle ear and/or lung inflammation can occur. In the case of one or two people out of 1,000 Patients it comes to a life-threatening inflammation of the brain. Rare for years can occur later a brain decay that is always fatal. They are known as the late subacute sclerosing Panencephalitis (SSPE) result. Particularly at risk for SSPE children will develop the disease in the first year of life or during birth infected are. Here is a child of 600 measles patients diagnosed with SSPE, the information of the Ministry of health. Measles are highly contagious, the disease is transmitted by droplets, so when Talking, coughing or Sneezing. 98 out of 100 people who come in contact with the Virus and not immune to getting stuck. Most frequently ill children and infants, but also not vaccinated, and so far, not diseased adults can infect. There is no treatment of measles virus infection, only the symptoms can be alleviated.",181,"austria"
"100","Measles are often referred to as a children's disease, but harmless, the virus infection is by no means. You can have serious health consequences and even be fatal. Only vaccination can protect against measles. The measles are back. Once again. In January alone of this year were reported in Austria, about 30 of measles cases. For comparison: in 2018, over the whole year, 77 cases distributed a total of. According to the world health organization (WHO) have been infected at the beginning of 2019 in Europe, so many people in the last ten years. Masererkrankung: highly contagious measles viruses are transmitted by droplet infection (coughs, Sneezes) from person to person. Typical symptoms are fever, rash, cough, coryza and conjunctivitis. Against measles virus, there is no effective treatment, only supportive therapies. Antibiotics are ineffective, since they use only for bacterial infections. The measles virus is also extremely contagious. Therefore, the disease spreads rapidly. Significantly lower risk are vaccinated through vaccination, The more people against measles, the lower the risk of infection is. Of 10,000 persons, a model calculation of the German Max-Planck-ill Institute for educational research, without a Vaccination when a contact with the Virus to grow to more than 9,300. Under 10,000 vaccinated people, the disease breaks out, therefore, only in 93 to 745 cases. Vaccination reduces often also the course of the disease. Measles-related sequelae such as fever, otitis, diarrhea, pneumonia, and brain inflammation (encephalitis) also occur much less frequently. From the group of non-vaccinated people between 9 and 28 people die of measles, in the group of vaccinated individuals there are between 0 and 2 deaths. Adverse effects That a vaccine has been to protect, it is proved beyond doubt, but vaccines as well as medicines and potential adverse effects. Many parents doubt whether they should have their children vaccinated. Even if a vaccination attenuated pathogens are used, is called for the immune system. In addition, each person reacts differently to a vaccine. So at the injection site redness or swelling may occur. Sometimes it also comes to measles-like symptoms such as fever, a slight rash, or diarrhea. This Impfkrankheit well-known reactions in comparison to a real measles disease in General, however, significantly weaker. In the case of smaller children with a predisposition for increased fever can cause a febrile seizure. This is especially the measles-Mumps-rubella vaccination (MMR) are known. About two to 16 out of 10,000 people who are vaccinated are small affected children. Permanent damage from febrile convulsions, however, are not occupied. Many influences but It can also be that symptoms that occur after a vaccination, have nothing to do with the Vaccination. The MMR vaccination is in the vaccination schedule between the 10. and the 15. Month is recommended. In this period the immune system and the entire organism with many influences apart. The cause of the after a vaccination occurring symptoms of the disease might, therefore, lie elsewhere. This is also true for tragic events that occur temporally close to the vaccination, such as the sudden infant death syndrome. There is even evidence that immunizations may have a protective effect.",181,"austria"

"6015","The little girl of sixteen months, died yesterday at the Baby Jesus had the measles. To confirm this, the analysis of the Higher Institute of Health that makes it known that the girl had contracted the type so-called “wild” virus. It is a virus that circulates among the non-vaccinated population. The girl then did not contract the virus after the vaccination, as they supposed some. Because in that case the analysis would have encountered in the body the presence of the attenuated virus, that is the one that is inoculated with the vaccine. As ever, the little girl died of measles, even if it was vaccinated? But how is it possible that a child vaccinated is sick of the measles? It is a case of “malfunction” of the vaccine? Things are going to be different. The child was already in care at the hospital of the roman since the age of three months for other pathologies. As explained by the infettivologo Alberto Villani – responsible for the General Paediatrics and Infectious Diseases and president of the Italian Society of Pediatrics to June of the little patient ""he had a high fever and was hospitalized"". A few days before, however, had been vaccinated against measles, and this did suggest to many skeptics of vaccines that there was a causal link between the vaccination and the infection. But, continues Villani, ""we did it immediately checks to see if he had antibodies against the disease but it was rather difficult, given that the vaccination had taken place in times too recent. We thought then, had all the effects manifested the virus contract in the days before the vaccine. The results have given reason to this second thesis"". Tests have in fact found that the strain of the virus that has infected the little girl was the B3 that is the one that circulates among the subjects not vaccinated. You can then exclude that the vaccine was the cause of the disease is that the baby has contracted the virus from a subject vaccinated. In this second case, indeed, the examinations would have encountered the presence of the gentle version of the virus. But then why the vaccine had not taken effect? The reason here is quite simple. Most likely, when it was vaccinated the baby had already been exposed to the contagion, and was already incubating the virus. For this reason, unfortunately, no vaccine has been able to ensure adequate protection. Scientists of the Network will not fall for it graduates in medicine at the University of the Road, however, do not fall for it. They noticed immediately that the girl was suffering from other diseases. Therefore they have been the ones to kill her, and not the measles. It is, of course, the usual conspiracy of the media to invent “the alarm measles” and scare parents free-vax causing them to pass through transparency. Sin, in fact, that the analyses have been confirmed two things: that the infection occurred prior to vaccination and that the measles virus was present in the body. They are, instead, in the course of the assessment, the examination anatomo-pathological to verify the causal connection between the disease and the event fatal, or the cardio-respiratory arrest fatal occurred on the evening of 28 June. Until they have completed the assessments to the several parents who are concerned to minimize the problem due to the low immunization coverage against measles should be quiet. As explained by Dr. Roberto Burioni, the only way to avoid contagion, the most effective and the one that has the fewest number of risks. The girl has been vaccinated within the prescribed time, shall specify to the hospital, so if the measles virus does not have the possibility to move freely, which now has very probably would have been spared from the contagion.",181,"italy"

In Europe, more and more people who don't zaszczepiły for measles, dying on this banal, it would seem that the children's disease. Many people, kori has left an indelible mark in the form of serious neurological disorders. Nieszczepienie children can lead to the re-emergence of many infectious diseases. Vaccinations are effective against illness, only in the case when they are EN masse. Success, for example, no universal vaccination against smallpox in 1980. managed to eliminate this deadly disease. Such success is possible only when vaccination really massive, covering over 90%. population. If the graft is a small percentage of the population between vaccinations or have breaks that are incompatible with the dosage of the vaccine, pathogenic microorganisms, there may be some mutation, resulting in the formation of new strains of pathogens, against which available vaccines are not effective, says Dr. Wojciech only on the third Board, a paediatrician, an immunologist from the Clinic Pneumonologii and Allergology of Children's Age at the University Hospital of WUM in Warsaw. See also: us threatens epidemic of measles? Measles can be very dangerous, After more than 50 years of mandatory vaccinations we tend to think of measles as niegroźną infectious disease of childhood. But the situation is changing for the worse. Together with phobia against the vaccination of children. Instead of to bless life-saving vaccines, some parents argue whether to vaccinate children. Black PR harm of MMR (measles, mumps, rubella), resulting in recent years in many countries of Europe and the world increased the number of cases of measles, a dangerous disease where vaccinations are required, warns Dr. Wojciech only on the third Board. Lack of vaccines against measles In 2018. recorded more than 260 cases of measles, many years! It is not surprising that more and more people standing in line after the vaccine Issue is that vaccines are not enough. The poles bought their urgent pace. At the moment you can get them in multiple pharmacies in the country. Complications after the passage of the measles prior to the Introduction of mandatory vaccination against measles, of course, restricted the number of cases of the disease and its complications. When a child is vaccinated, measles is the most easily and without unpleasant complications. Child niezaszczepione exposed: Especially dangerous subacute sclerosing encephalitis (LESS – lat. an infestation of lice -- subacuta scleroticans), which develops 7-10 years after measles przechorowaniu. Characteristic of this complication is an extremely high concentration of antibodies against the virus, as well as serious neurologic symptoms such as impaired speech, impaired mental and continuing niedowładów, which in short period leads to a state odmóżdżeniowego. In the case of this complication the medicine is powerless, and the forecast is always wrong. How is the measles measles is a viral disease caused by a virus Measles virus. Infections suffered by children from 6. 12. month of life (before first vaccination) and children under the age of 15 years, which is not listed revaktsinirujut doses of vaccine. Symptoms: initially, catarrhal inflammation of the conjunctiva, respiratory tract, dry cough. The child then receives high temperature, and in a few days the body appear żywoczerwone spots with small thickenings of irregular shape. Since the appearance of the rash the temperature is reduced, but the child still runny nose and cough. After a few days the rash becomes brown, after which it starts flaking. Treatment: Place inflamed rash should be lubricated with zinc oxide than to relieve the itching, feeding syrup przeciwkaszlowy and antipyretic drugs. Prevention: In Poland, obligatory vaccinated children against measles twice – at age 13-14 months and 7 years. Importantly, the Fear of vaccinations sprowokowały research about the Aversion to vaccination was caused by the publication the scientist, Dr. Andrew Wakefield in 1998, which is written in the prestigious research ""the Lancet"" published an article proposing that the MMR vaccine (measles, mumps, rubella) caused autism in children. It quickly became clear that studies that described Andrew Wakefield unreliable. His arguments repeatedly obalali scientists as having no scientific basis and absolutely untrue. Dozens of studies have denied the information of Wakefield, and the Scripture przeprosiło for publication. Unfortunately, this rumor still lives his life in Poland.

"15113","An immune system weaker could trigger more serious symptoms that the children suffer, such as fever and granites Advertising To the epidemic that suffers Europe and the calling of the attention of WHO by growth of cases of measles in countries that are considered free of the infection, such as the United Kingdom, Greece, Albania and the Czech Republic, the Ministry of Health has launched a vaccination campaign for adults born before 1970. Why? Those between 40 and 50 years have not benefited from the vaccination calendar, as we know it today, and, although many have passed naturally, there is a group that does not. “We live in a globalized world and there is much movement of people from one country to the other. This means that, although Spain enjoys a position of privilege compared to the rest (in particular in Europe), there are risks of contracting the measles,” explains Amos Garcia Rojas, president of the Spanish Association of Vacunología (AEV). This group of young adults must take precautions and avoid the risks, as a deficit of vitamin A in your diet, and go to a health center to get immunized. “It should be noted that the immune system of the adult does not have the same resilience in childhood, so the symptoms are more acute than in the children”, points out García Rojas. For this reason, as explained by the clinical researcher and chief of Pediatrics of the University Clinical Hospital of Santiago de Compostela, Federico Martinón-Torres, “is not a new measure, because the vaccine is included in the calendar for years. This is to get the generation GBS and above will be fully protected”. Advertising What are the consequences? Advertising Infection of the ears. One of the most common complication is bacterial infection of the ear. Bronchitis, laryngitis or croup. Can cause swelling of the device of the voice (larynx) or inflammation of the inner walls that line the main pathways of the air passage of the lungs (bronchial tubes). Pneumonia. People who have a compromised immune system can get a variety especially dangerous that, at times, is fatal. Encephalitis. Approximately 1 out of every 1000 people with measles may get a complication called “encephalitis”. It can manifest itself very soon after you have contracted measles or after several months. Problems in the pregnancy. You must be very careful not to get pregnant because it may cause premature birth, low birth weight in the baby at birth or maternal mortality. Advertising Monitor risk factors Refer to the level of epidemic of measles. Before you travel to a country, if not vaccinated, do so, if your level of cases is high. “One loses herd immunity when it comes out of Spain, because the herd effect exists in Spain with the coverage of more than 95% in the two doses of vaccine that we have in our country,” explains Martinon. Vitamin A. The carotenoids, like beta-carotene, are pigments present in fruits and vegetables, which provide them with their yellow, orange or red. Once consumed, carotenoids are converted little by little into vitamin A in the body. The absorption is better if the vegetables have been cooked or homogenized and served along with a little fat or oil. Some of the foods that are a good source of carotenoids are the dark green vegetables and vegetables and fruits of yellow-orange color.",181,"spain"
"2359","Play time: 12 min On 5 June 2019, the number of measles cases in the United States in the year has exceeded the thousand mark, a record that had never been reached since 1992. For most people, the origin of this resurgence of the disease is not too much doubt: it is the fault of the antivax, these people who are opposed to vaccines. ""The federal authorities in the field of health attribute the epidemic of this year in the american parents who refuse to vaccinate their children"", reported the Reuters news agency. This seems self-evident: measles is spreading more rapidly among non-vaccinated individuals, the return in strength of the virus must be a sign of a major increase in the number of people refusing vaccination. Only, the figures tell us a different story. Seizures without borders, The figures of vaccination against measles in the United States are not really in free fall. To tell the truth, they are even very stable for many years –around 91% or 92% of the population. If it is possible that the homes local of refusal may have slightly gained in importance over time, or that other households have seen the light of day, the formal proofs of this are quite small. Here is a simpler explanation and more convincing of the sudden increase in the number of measles cases in the United States: epidemics even more important taking place at the international have eventually spread to the land of Uncle Sam. Over 66,000 cases have been reported in Europe since the beginning of the year, and we are also seeing outbreaks alarming in some regions of Africa and Asia. What are these crises which have triggered the one that we see today in the United States. Last may, the u.s. centers for control and prevention of diseases (CDC) have confirmed that the recent outbreaks of measles that have affected orthodox jewish communities of New York and the Russian speaking community of Clark county, in the State of Washington, had both started because of tourists sick coming back from Israel and eastern Europe. In other words, it is not necessary to raise the hypothesis of an increase in the arrow of madness antivax in the United States to explain the resurgence of measles. It is no doubt true that pockets of refusal of vaccination continue to persist in this country, but it is the case for many years. If these pockets today are suffering more cases of measles, this may be due, instead, to trends in distant countries. Despite this explanation, the world is only pushing the question a little further. Measles is progressing in the United States because it is progressing elsewhere in the world? Very well, but why progresses it elsewhere in the world? Once again, the explanation most frequently advanced is that the propaganda of antivaccination is booming –not only in the United States, but everywhere– and that the vaccination rates around the world are in free fall. Read also the origin of the arguments (fallacious) of the anti-vaccine Double dose The world health Organization has done about it in January, adding that ""the hesitation vaccine to its list of the ten main health threats in the world in 2019. At a meeting of the expert·es of health, held in may in Geneva, the chair of the Gavi Alliance (the global alliance for vaccines and immunization) has even qualified the misinformation on vaccination of ""contagious disease"". Similarly, the June issue of the British Medical Journal warns: ""If the vaccination coverage continues to decline, the measles, the risk of once again becoming endemic."" The coverage is really in decline? Once again, the study data shows that the situation is a little more complicated than that. The number of deaths due to measles has decreased by about 80% since 2000. On a global scale, the rate of vaccination against measles are at their highest levels in history –or almost. Since the beginning of the century, the proportion of individuals who received at least one dose of vaccine against measles has increased by nearly a fifth. Meanwhile, the use of a second dose of the vaccine (which increases efficiency) has more than quadrupled. In 2000, only 15% of the population obtained the two injections. A dengue vaccine distributed in the schools presented a mortal danger: the child, having received it were exposed to a risk of syndrome of Clarkson. Experts estimate that ten to twenty filipino children have been able to die, and policy makers are now the subject of prosecution. Ukraine has been at the origin of most cases in Europe –and also of the biggest epidemics in the United States. In this country, the problem has in part been due to vaccine shortages that occurred from 2009 to 2016, as well as a remnant of distrust of the population in the face of vaccination campaigns, such as they were put in place during the soviet era. The country has also experienced a great deal of fear related to vaccines: in 2008, a teenager from Kramatorsk died of a bacterial infection less than twenty-four hours after being vaccinated against measles and rubella in her school. The local media quickly linked her death to a plot by immunization of evil led by the american tycoon of the media Ted Turner. The Ukrainian government has even worsened the situation by suspending its vaccination programme during the time of the investigation on the death of the teenager. He even went so far as to arrest the main responsible of the public health in the country. The public confidence in the MMR vaccine has never recovered since. When we talk about the global problem that is measles, these characteristics tend, however, to be clear and we prefer to talk ad nauseum of the growth of the movement antivaccination in the United States, in Europe and in the rest of the world. We often hear today that ""the world is shrinking"" because of the distrust of the population for the vaccination, that the antivax have convinced ""a growing number of parents refuse vaccines for their children"", or even that the movement has spread on social networks, it has found an echo among politicians, populist, or even that it is itself become a kind of epidemic. A background article on the movement antivax released in late June on Jezebel goes so far as to say that this community is ""growing"" is in the process of ""changing the world"". I guess it's plausible, but once again, the figures are unaudited and prepared on the long term does not confirm this idea. Official action, The official procedures to analyze and solve the problem of the refusal of vaccination are still fairly recent. The global health community has begun to focus on this issue at the beginning of the 2000s, after the boycott of the polio vaccine and the epidemic is associated in Nigeria. The Project for the trust and confidence of immunization to the School london of hygiene and tropical medicine has been launched only a decade. A few years after, international health authorities began to call for large-scale studies on the issue. In march 2012, the advisory group of the WHO on immunization has set up a working group on the hesitation of vaccine. A year later, the u.s. department of Health and social Services asked its national advisory committee on vaccines to put in place a similar group. These instances are intended to bring more rigor in the studies on the sense antivaccins, and to develop standard tools to measure it in time. These efforts have begun to bear fruit, with more numerous and of better quality, but the data are still limited. All in all, the mistrust of the vaccination may be more retreating. Last October, the Project for confidence in vaccine has published the results of a large survey on the state of the confidence in vaccination in the european Union. The report compared the most recent figures, dating back to 2018, to those obtained during a survey conducted in 2015. The level of safety of vaccines has increased by a margin to be statistically significant in eight of the twenty countries included in the analysis, and it remained unchanged in the other eight. It has declined only in four States: Finland, Sweden, Poland and the Czech Republic. On average, the increases in confidence at the country level have also been more important than decreases. The biggest increase was 16%, in France, while the largest decline was in Poland, was only 7%. The study showed, however, some disturbing findings. On the one hand, the european youth seems to be much more wary with respect to the vaccines that people over the age of 65. Unless she changes her mind in old age, this does not augur well for the future of public health. In spite of everything, if one refers to the trends measured in the distrust of vaccines during this short period (2015 to 2018), the news seem to be pretty good. To tell the truth, the distrust of the vaccination –not to mention the feeling antivax– is perhaps rather retreating, as a whole. Obsession is counter-productive, You will only hear but not the message information. Here's how the New York Times presented the results of the survey in an article on the crisis of measles in Europe: ""According to a report by the european Union, the movement antivaccins developed in Europe, particularly in Poland."" Reuters, for its part, summarized the findings a mixed bag of the study with this headline: ""Low trust in the vaccines in Europe, increasing the risk of epidemic."" In the same vein, the BBC described recently the distrust towards the vaccination of the ""global crisis"" reporting the results of a recent survey Wellcome. It is true that only 79% of those who responded to the survey agreed that ""vaccines are safe"". But the same survey showed that the proportion of individuals speaking fully against the assertion was only 7% –the others were ""no opinion"" or did not respond. Now let's look at the actual behavior: 92% of the respondents stated that their children had received at least one vaccine. These global figures correspond well to those identified in the United States. According to Wellcome, only 72% of the U.s.·es deem the vaccines safe, and 11% think the opposite, while 93% indicate that their children have been vaccinated. However, the scenario on the antivax persists –in spite of the numbers, or sometimes even based on it. The reason is simple: this view of the mind is based less on facts than on twitch reflexes and the idea instinctively that a sudden resurgence of measles must necessarily be the result of something just as suddenly –an increasing contempt for the expert·es, perhaps, the spread of ideas marginal via social networks, or even the unstoppable power of the false information. This seems so self-explanatory in principle (it is both so infuriating and reassuring) that the statistics matter little. That's how you end up with articles telling us that ""the vaccination coverage against measles is falling', based on a study that shows exactly the opposite. Or that one sees flowering of enquetes as that of the New York Magazine, ""The measles for the 1%"", that by a sleight-of-shameless would like us to believe that the disease is a punishment sent to the bohemians, in whom distrust of the vaccines would have exploded in just one generation. All of this may seem likely and to be very clear, but it is in the process of distracting us from the real problem. If we really want to prevent future outbreaks of measles, we will have to examine all the reasons why the vaccination rates in the world are stagnating at less than 95%. Our obsession for the antivax do we not help",181,"france"
"2344","There is, among the generation of 20-40 years, a pool of subjects who have not been vaccinated, and which, non-immune, may lead, in the future, on other serious cases of measles. A woman aged 32 years died in Poitiers (Vienne), a victim of the measles epidemic that is raging in New-Aquitaine. A drama that, to the health authorities, illustrates the dangers of vaccination rates inadequate against the highly contagious disease for which there is no treatment. The minister of Health has called on the non-vaccinated in a ""catch-up"". Measles, which is part of the eleven vaccines required for children born on or after 1 January, spreads very quickly in New Aquitaine since the beginning of November, especially in the Vienne and the Gironde, with the large cities of Poitiers and Bordeaux, including its university campus. The regional Agency of health (ARS) contains, to this day, 269 confirmed cases, of which a quarter (66) required hospitalization, and, for four of the patients, an icu admission. This is more than double the figures announced on 24 January, when the ARS were 115 cases that resulted in 32 hospitalizations. Other smaller foci exist in France, where the general Direction of the Health were, on Tuesday, a total of 387 cases and 83 hospitalizations. In Britain, there is a real risk. The minister called the French being vaccinated, The minister of Health, Agnes Buzyn, was asked Wednesday on "" France Inter ""to all the people who are not vaccinated (against measles) or who have not vaccinated their children to do a ""catch-up"".

The establishment has hosted, since 19 January, 22 people were infected with measles, a number that includes four members of the staff. The CHU of Poitiers has verified the vaccination status of all employees and "" 54 agents have had to be vaccinated "". The Directorate-general of Health has called on all medical professionals with a history uncertain "" to update their immunization in order to prevent the spread of this disease "". Passed ""at the side of the vaccination"" CHU believes that the victim is part of the five people who "" were able to contract the disease at the contact of another patient in the CHU of Poitiers at the onset of the first case "". The hospital has announced it has taken measures, such as the wearing of masks in risk areas. In an interview with the daily Centre Presse, Yolande Riquelmé says that his daughter, Jessica, a young mother of the family, contracted the disease in the emergency department, where she was hospitalized his father at the end of January. ""It was at the time of the measles epidemic, there were people everywhere who were waiting for it. They had not yet put the masks of protection, there was no prevention messages, they did it after, "" says the mother of the victim on the journal web site. ""I took her to the er the 1 e r February, she was blue, she had 41 °C fever ! My daughter was one of those children who had missed vaccination. At that time, we were told that it was not necessary, "" she adds. ""Thanks to immunization, the measles virus has been circulating very low-noise for years.

We must go back to 1986, long before the Regional Office for Europe of the World Health Organization (WHO) approved a Strategic Plan to 2010 (later extended to 2015) with a double objective: to eliminate measles in the autochthonous and rubella native. Today, Spain is free of this disease and in the region, since the last case recorded in march 2018, up to the moment there have been no new outbreaks. The ministry of Health carries out a rigorous control process. The System of Epidemiological Surveillance of Asturias publishes from week to week, a report on the situation of notifiable diseases (EDO). And for 17 months it has not registered positive. This year, the Ministry of Health has included in its calendar of vaccination measles-those born since 1970, with two exceptions: they had been vaccinated or had passed the disease. The central executive directs the recommendation to all those who have not attained the age of 50 years. What happens with the asturians who were born before that date? What should not be vaccinated? Those who have fulfilled the half-century of life are immune, because they already were in contact with the virus. As reflected in a report of the Epidemiological Surveillance System of Asturias, which explains why they are considered immune natural due to the high incidence of the disease in the years prior to that it began to apply the vaccine. A situation already pointed out the National Survey of Seroprevalence which showed a 99.7% of those born before that date were not immune. According to the latest data of the INE, in Asturias there are more than 400,000 people who have reached age 50 years, slightly more than 40% of the population of asturias, according to studies, would be immune. A figure that taking into account those who are vaccinated and who were born in the late 80's it is understood that there is a very high percentage of asturias that have a level of antibodies protector. And what should you do if you were born between 1970 and 1981? And why should it make a difference from 1981? It was precisely that year when it was introduced in the schedule for children generalized the mmr. In limbo would be the ones who now have between 49 and 39 years. According to the latest data of the INE, in this age range are at least 200,000 of asturias.

"1329","Whether this year morbila epidemics (measles, krzamaka, small goddess...) in Dubrovnik-Neretva? Interesting is the question around which epidemiolozi femkaju is understandable, because if there procijepljenost fell below 50 percent there, then the question of the epidemic no longer depends on the General immune mode, neither of elementarnoj health and hygiene, but, as in srednjemu century, or among amazonskim urođenicima and gologuzim Bušmanima - if there is such a thing - an epidemic depends on the good will and mood, viruses, and perhaps even only the current forms of sociality in Dubrovnik-Neretva. Namely, as already the end of the school year, not a day nursery and kindergartens in the summer is not overly active, morbula Morbillivirus, from the family of Morbillivirusa, order Mononegavirales the family Paramyxoviridae and not so playful, hyperactive and quickly spread Pelješcem, Dubrovnik primorjem, Župom, Konavle and the fact that the local population in preuzetno called the "" City, then, finding his true home in this part of Europe, further expansion in the neighbouring split-Dalmatia region, in the Herzegovina and Montenegro, if it stretched mondeni antivakserski movement description on the revival and return one of the ecologically clean area of observation, the West has absolutely iščezlog viruses. But if this year there will be an epidemic morbila, you are still the old Latini called only “little illness”, he will come in the next year or two, no later than three years. But is it fast enough that this story is quite fresh and in virtual online archives. Namely, how the disease was small, and very small when compared with large boginjama, kolerom and the plague that they remember the old Rome - it virus much more vividly than the smallpox virus or, say, the flu, and humanity not only not met, and not a viewfinder, a way to stop it. Unless, of course, vaccinations. And the vaccine is extremely unpopular in Dubrovnik-Neretva, while in the rest of Croatia vaccination is increasingly seen as a relic from the socialist time or as global pharmaceutical mafia seeks financial exhausted and physically destroy small and junačan Russian people, who, of course, “little sickness” can not do anything. That's how it will look: disease in some remote year, say, in late autumn or early spring, to infect half of the grades in one primary school, which is now we won't mention the name. The news that will be something slower than a virus to get to Dubrovnik, where it will be secretly sent to Zagreb. News will be kept in strict confidence, but will metropolski portals very quickly to break the blockade and get the events at the school in neimenovanom place, but as the majority of them under the control of the political regime in the country, the only one whose name ends in X, news about the epidemic, which then, through the Patriotic tabloid, demantirati from the relevant Ministry. While it lasted the strain, the virus will cover the whole school, this one and the next, and to get to Dubrovnik and spread further, with the help of administrative, County and state borders. What I think will be able to keep secret until it is necessary to close schools, kindergartens and nurseries affected by the epidemic. Then the thing will become impossible to stop, and this at two levels: the disease will uncontrollably expand, and it would be impossible and pointless to stop the media, because it will no longer be in the domestic media, but also all world Newspapers for the population that Dubrovnik and its surroundings is absolutely a strange disease, which both Europe and America for decades, existed. And it will be for this and in the next few years will be the end of the Dubrovnik tourism. The rest of Croatia will, by preference, to trust in God and prayer, or a good middle procijepljenosti. The Dubrovnik country with less than 50 percent of vaccinated children will not help neither God nor prayer. God cares about people, where procijepljenost above ninety percent. God does not take spells or nadriliječništvom, and Pope Francis cijepi against influenza. The problem with morbilama, as with most diseases against which vaccination is mandatory, is that the vaccine protects society and not the individual. It, in turn, protects only 95% procijepljena community. To infect you, and it's always, as you know, each person is inoculated to bad procijepljenoj community. MMR vaccines that in the center antivakserske hysteria that protect us from morbila, mumpsa and rubella, in addition to its practical, has symbolic, cultural and civilizacijsku role. Cijepimo not for yourself than for the community. Morbile as a deadly disease. In Romania and Serbia in the last year or two have died dozens of people. Yes, the disease comes from the East, spreads on the land, as in srednjemu century it lived the model of all our radicals on the East, by land, spread plague, and was century, from Europe to go. Its spread is slowing because of good procijepljenosti. And it is because of alarming information on less than 50 percent of bribery in Dubrovnik County. From morbila, most likely, will not die those who are in otherwise good health. I know this because I am ill in Bosnia and Sarajevo, we used to call them krzamak - ordinirao me, examined, and bockao bodrio famous Dr. Zazula, a pediatrician of all our childhood. From morbila will die those who are most vulnerable, who first needs to defend, which would then, through them, were protected, and we are different. In the epidemic there is no justice. From morbila nor in Dubrovnik County won't die those who refused to vaccinate their children. The disease is not settled in their homes, they are not strong nor destroy. Stradavat will be those who for nothing and no one to blame if your own weakness and impotence is not some sort of malfunction. And among people, the disease should not be taken as wine nor as a pretext for liquidation. People makes us what we are not subject to “natural selection” among which the weaker members of the genus - less mosquitoes, less potatoes, kilaviji grasshoppers - everything is all right, pojedeni, eksterminirani. Reduction procijepljenosti below 50 percent in the Dubrovnik County water that people start stradavati, insects, plants and animals. But while pot, bumpy, and natruli potatoes, maybe, and no meaning of their own existence, someone would drag us to die because our state does not protect from the dangerous weirdos and fanatics who refuse to vaccinate their children. Center of infection at present in the Dubrovnik hospital. Beautiful, well utilities, solid institution, which employs some brilliant doctors and wonderful nurses, both men and women who could work and at some Stockholm, Zurich and Houston. Of course, not all of these, but there are some, I know, because I their patients was convinced. Among them Feather Markunović I don't know, but something tells me that there is or that one day to be a great doctor. E, he contracted measles despite vaccination, and that of their fellow citizens who refuse to vaccinate children, asked whether to refuse the aspirin because can lead to blindness - whether to decline imunoterapiju because risky - chemotherapy for leukaemia because it may cause some other tumors? And how of septic tanks under texts, which was published the call of the doctor Markunovića prokuljala govna. The person attacked, that the doctor tried prosvijetiti, and which would otherwise be treated. But there will be nothing to compress well even when the epidemic as a consequence antivakserske hysteria and passivity of the state in one day speeches, these next two or three years, because today, right fejsbuk of these reviews that makes them web portals irresponsible to allow below the texts about morbilama, and I called smradom from septic tanks, we know what will be the reaction antivaksera for the epidemic. A woman, a doctor, oftalmologinja, one of those fanatiziranih antivakserki around broadcasting the location of the najopskurnije conspiracy theories against vaccines and the pharmaceutical industry, these days, in your fejsbuk review below the text on a web portal dvojih one of the most widely read Croatian Newspapers, and gave us know how for the emergence of morbila Dubrovnik is not bad procijepljenost than refugees from Syria and Afghanistan, which occasionally occur on the border of the Thick of the iceberg and, perhaps, tourists who arrive from Serbia and Montenegro. It would, therefore, be narativ upcoming epidemic. There is no chance that the mind prizovu those who mind refused.

However, even in this case, the affected person can remain immunosuppressed for years. These two new research allow us today to better understand this “amnesia "" immune”. New “soldiers” to be less effective For the first study, blood samples from 82 children of Dutch non-vaccinated individuals were collected. When a measles epidemic had hit the country in 2013, 77 of them had been infected. The authors compared samples before and after the infection in order to determine the evolution of their immune system. The researchers were focused on a type of white blood cell called a cell B. When the body detects a pathogen, these cells produce proteins that “catch” the germ and pass it on to another protein for destruction. The B cells then continue to develop these antibodies, even after the disappearance of the pathogen. This is why the body “remembers” the disease when it is pointing again with the tip of his nose. However, researchers have found that children infected by the virus had lost many B cells are trained to recognize the common infections. They came back after about 45 days, but they were much less effective than the first. Defenses “amnesic” The researchers of the second study are focused on the antibodies themselves. Using a tool called VirScan, they have sought to determine which antibodies appeared in the blood of the children before and after the measles. It is apparent that after having caught the virus, children have lost between 11% and 72% of their diversity and total antibodies. In other words, the measles had wiped out a large part of their “immune memory”. The researchers point out that we may still retrieve a part by becoming more familiar with the pathogens. The idea is therefore to re-educate our immune system. People in good health should be able to do it without too much problem, but patients weaker or really immunocompromised may not be able to cope. “Getting bombed by several infections at once could be particularly devastating“, conclude the researchers.

"12011","There are seven cases of measles suspected in the Hospital of vila nova de Gaia, the second led CHANNEL. Among the cases, the suspects are three young students from the Institute of Biomedical Sciences Abel Salazar, a 13-year old child and two adults. Earlier, a source at the hospital said that the cases were confirmed, but is fixed once for suspect. The same source added that ""they are already taking preventive measures in general and is referred to later in more details. See also: These numbers come in addition to the 117 cases of suspicion that had been advanced this morning by the Government. The secretary of State had granted, in the morning, all of the confirmed cases in this outbreak as pertains to the ""young adults"" between the ages of 20 and 40 years old, many of them health care professionals, as well as students of Medicine, and that “more than two-thirds were vaccinated.” In the case of an infant of 12 months and is awaiting the results of the analysis. The baby was the first to go for a lot of the cases that are suspected of being infected with measles. Is stable and has not needed to be admitted to the hospital. According to the secretary of State, at the time when he spoke, there were only five people are hospitalized and only to a confirmed measles, and three in san Antonio, one in St. John's, and the other in Dysfunction. The guardianship, said he, too, believes that ""the outbreak is controlled,"" and that ""it is normal and to be expected, that emerge over time."" In case of doubt, the secretary of State Assistant to the minister of Health, it is recommended that you connect it to the line-of-saúde 24 (808 24 24 24), in which the professional will give ""clear indications as to where to go or what to do."" Measles is a highly contagious disease that is caused by a virus, and the viral infections the most contagious. It manifests itself by the appearance of small white spots on the oral mucous membrane, about an hour or two before you experience a skin rash, that initially appear on the face. The disease is commonly referred to as an evolution of a benign, but may cause complications such as otitis media, pneumonia, seizures, febrile, and encefalites. It can be very serious and even lead to death. Vaccination is the primary measure of protection against measles, and in this case it is free of charge and is included in the National Program of Vaccination (PNV). According to the data available in the fall of 2017, more than 87% of the people who contracted measles were not vaccinated. In the North, according to the secretary of State for Health ""97% to 98% of the people who are vaccinated or have already had contact with the disease.",175,"portugal"
"23415","Measles infections can wipe out a child’s immune system for up to five years - resetting it to a baby-like state, a study suggests.  Scientists said the virus is so powerful it can trigger “immune amnesia” leaving those who suffer it at far greater long-term risk of picking up flu and other deadly infections.  In some cases the effect is so strong, it is similar to having their entire immune system wiped out.  The research from the Wellcome Sanger Institute, University of Amsterdam looked at 26 unvaccinated children before and after catching measles.  The study, published in Science Immunology found the virus crippled their immunity against other infections for up to five years, even if they had been exposed to them before.  Professor Colin Russell, from the Amsterdam University, said: “For the first time we see that measles resets the immune system and it becomes more baby-like, limiting how well it can respond to new infections.",175,"uk"

""A vaccination is currently not an issue,"" says a spokeswoman for the country's hospitals in Carinthia, where there was least 19 measles cases. In the case of new employees, proof of vaccination status will receive prompts for existing staff you would invite to a consultation. For the Klinikum Klagenfurt is the fact that you would not deduct vaccinated colleagues from patient-related activities. However, in practice it was not necessary, because anyway all the vaccinated were. Appeals, instead of obligations, is also the motto of health the state Minister Beate Prettner of Austria ( SPÖ). In order to reach the majority of the Non-Vaccinated while you are not going to move the convinced opponents with a vaccination to rethink, argues a spokesperson. Similarly, the Position of Vienna, where new employees in the hospital Association institution have for the past two years have been vaccinated. An expansion of the vaccination on their existing employees to work legally dicey, says a spokesman of the health councillor Peter Hacker ( SPÖ). It would also force the taboo to break, people to a particular medical treatment. According to the office Hacker it was possible incentives for vaccinations make better use of. Mother-to-child Pass In Austria is provided since the autumn of 2018, a comprehensive vaccination or immunity evidence for new employees in a state or University hospital. ""In this context is to think about whether this proof is not to extend to other occupational groups. In addition, the mandatory vaccinations would be in the mother-child Pass an important impulse to the appropriate to maintain the vaccination rate,“ says a representative of the competent authority, Ulrike Königsberger-Ludwig ( SPÖ).",174,"austria"

The regional agency of health would like to remind that vaccination remains the best way to avoid the virus. In fact, a person infected with measles can infect between 15 and 20 people. The ARS invites the students and the academic staff of bordeaux to check the status of their vaccination on their health card. In case of doubt, it is strongly recommended to consult his / her treating physician to avoid contamination of loved ones during the holiday season.

"2355","The measles cases have tripled in the world since the beginning of the year, with 364 808 cases diagnosed between 1 January and 31 July, according to the world Health Organization (WHO). It is of the highest figures ever recorded since the age of thirteen. This disease is extremely contagious, and no treatment can treat that to this day. However, there is a vaccine to escape the measles, which tends to reduce the rate of infant mortality. A new study, published in the journal Science, shows how vaccination is essential. In fact, the scientific team, comprising researchers from Harvard medical Institute Howard Hughes and the Erasmus university in the netherlands, explained that the measles virus attacks the immune system. Our immune system has a memory To carry out this study, the researchers analyzed the blood of 77 Dutch infants infected with measles during the epidemic that struck the country in 2013. The blood of these children had been taken before the infection, and then two months after that. They have also used a tool developed in the United States, the name of VirScan. The latter identifies the different viruses that have infected a person in the past, and how the immune system remembers. In fact, when the body encounters a virus, it creates protective antibodies that remain in the future. This is what is called ""immune memory"". From 11 to 73% of the antibodies are destroyed After these tests, the researchers found that the measles eliminated between 11 and 73% of these protective antibodies in the children. The virus resets your immune system and return you to a more naive state,"" says epidemiologist Michael Mina, co-author of the study. The mechanism is the same as for the Aids virus, but the immune system is attacked faster. To hope for a return to normal, it is necessary that the antibody be ""re-infected by pathogens, such as new-born babies, which take a lot of risks in the first years of their life"", continues the researcher. In the case of measles, the immune system will rebuild faster than for HIV. This study shows finally the dangers associated with measles exceeds the infection by itself.

"6014","LIVORNO. Eleven cases of measles in less than four months. Livorno (fortunately) is far from the record levels of Pisa and Viareggio (where they are numbered respectively 54 and 53 infections in the same period of time), but the data tells us, however, an increase compared to previous years and turn on an alarm bell on the return of a disease that seems to have disappeared. ""We have not had the problems that you have posted elsewhere, but measles should theoretically not even be here,"" says Spartacus, the Healthy, the primary infectious diseases of viale Alfieri, in whose department among others were hospitalized with measles and six patients from the Versilia. The return of the measles in fact is not a bolt from the blue: just re-read, as reported a year ago sulil responsible for the operational unit of hygiene, public: a collapse of the vaccinations on our territory, dropped well below the threshold of 95%, i.e. the limit estimated in order to ensure the immunity of the flock, that is, the ability of the population to resist the spread of the disease through the vaccination coverage rate. LIVORNO NEGATIVE RECORD OF VACCINATIONS. The tendency not to give infants vaccines optional is steadily declining in the last five years. In 2012, 92% of children in livorno were vaccinated against measles, rubella and mumps. Three years later, that number has dropped to 85%. A phenomenon that, according to the Asl is closely linked to the presence on the territory of the movements antivaccinazioni and that Livorno has reached the peaks the worst even compared to the rest of the province: Piombino (for example, the percentage of vaccinations trivalent exceeds 92%, at Cecina, touches 90%. EVERY YEAR 200 CHILDREN IN THE MOST AT RISK. ""There is a 15% of parents who decide not to vaccinate their children - stresses Barbieri. It means about 200 children each year who are at risk of contracting measles, rubella and mumps, to which it also adds to the chicken pox, against which 2014 is there a vaccine"". ""It's a choice worrying,"" continues the head of the Asl -. Measles is one that, from the point of view of sequelae has the most serious effects: in particular, can cause encephalitis and bronchopneumonia. And can even be deadly. Who says that a long immunity it was taking the disease, not about how many children in those years, then got encephalitis or pneumonia"". THE RISKS OF MISCARRIAGE IN PREGNANCY. That measles is not a joke this is confirmed by the numbers of the last boom that was recorded in Italy (cases quintupled compared to last year): the 34% of patients had at least one complication, 40% were hospitalized, 15% went to the emergency room. ""In the adult the course is more challenging,"" explains Spartacus Sani -. And difficult is often the diagnosis"". Not only that, but the measles virus to contract in the pregnancy may increase risk of abortion and prematurity. THE REGION: VACCINATEVI. The trivalent vaccine, as it is known, is not mandatory, but recommended. And the node, as we said, concerns the effect of the flock, as he recalled two days ago with the regional councillor for health, Stefania Saccardi: ""vaccination is an act that concerns not only those who make it, but the entire community: those who are vaccination protects not only himself, but also those who, for health reasons, cannot get vaccinated and is then exposed. It's what experts call the ""herd effect"": to help ensure this, the vaccination coverage should be 95%, while in Tuscany has fallen much below this level"". In particular, the given regional morbillio, rubella, and mumps is 89%. While in Livorno we arrived to 85%.",174,"italy"
"6017","LATIN – Seventy-two cases in 2017, are adult patients admitted to hospital for the consequences of measles to the Goretti of Latin america. The data are provided by the director of the department of infectious Diseases, Miriam Lichtner, which provides an overview of what it was in the course of the past year and the current year: “At the time in 2018 – he explains – we saw only two hospitalizations, to the peak we had last year, with 72 admissions. It is always adults because pediatric patients are diverted to the Infant Jesus of Rome. And adults have a hospital stay long with major complications. The mean hospital stay of an adult (in the age group ranging from 25 to 40 years), is between seven to ten days with an expenditure of resources very high for several reasons: the first is that the patient is very bad, often has complications such as stomatitis, respiratory problems, conjunctivitis, and then on to the gp and hospital resources why you should use isolation measures suitable including for example, the emergency room does not have. It has happened that patients arrived for a disease, they are back to the distance of 15 days, for having contracted the measles, in hospital. The epidemic, therefore, is to be fought also at the level intraospedaliero, since, in these cases, the same hospital becomes a risk factor”. In 2018, the Goretti are recorded only to two shelters, but Italy is concern in the news lately from the World health Organization because it is one of only seven Countries out of 53 in which over a thousand cases in just 2018. According to the Report of the Institute of Health, more or less all of the region have had at least one infected. The Lazio once again is on the podium, immediately after the Sicily (where you are registered over a thousand cases), reaching 204 people infected, mostly concentrated between January and February. Of course, in the Lazio region, the larger numbers makes them register of Rome, because all of the pediatric patients are diverted to the Baby Jesus, but the band most affected is still that of a young adult, between 25 and 40 years, i.e. it was not vaccinated or had carried out a single dose, and in almost 50% of cases, patients develop complications requiring hospitalization. Dr. Lichtner, thanks to the Sapienza University and the Asl is working great with the whole team, on the face of measles publishing a study in the scientific journal Plos – one in which we study the effects of measles in the long term, in particular on the cytokine proinfiammatoria, that is, a regulatory protein, which remains altered and elevated several months after contracting the disease, and the hypothesis on which they worked is that this inflammatory state can worsen other diseases or conditions.",174,"italy"

"12110","The national rate of children who are vaccinated against the measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine at the age of six years old is very high, but there are great disparities in the world. In the clusters of health centres, in Lisbon and in the Algarve to cover the second (and last) dose of this vaccine is less than 95%, which is considered the “percent desirable, to ensure the protection of the community against measles, under the so-called immunity of the group.” The warning comes in the second study, the National Health Council (CNS) and has done ever since it was created, and this Wednesday is going to be presented in Lisbon, at a forum at the national Assembly. Entitled generation, a healthy. Public policies for the promotion of the health of children and young people, and the report of independent consulting for Government, which aims to ensure the participation of citizens in policy-making, presents an exhaustive portrait of what has been done and what remains to be done in the age group of 0 to 18 years of age), as a sensitive, elencado the omissions, duplication, and even contradiction, of policies of health for this level. When you look at the data on the coverage of the vaccine in the final dose of the measles vaccine in the children who have turned six years old in 2017 at the earliest, it can be seen that none of the Groups of Health Centers (ACES) in the Algarve, has a vaccination coverage of more than 95%, such a proportion is typically set to be required in order to achieve immunity from a group (the proportion of people with a higher level of concentration of the antibody that you think you are protected). The immunity of the group to protect not only the vaccinated, but also in the non-vaccinated, who are able to use the non-circulation of the virus. The ACES in the Central Algarve, the vaccination coverage is less than 90%, such as in the grouping of health centres in the urban area of Lisbon, portugal. The Lisbon and North of the country (85.5 Percent), Massachusetts (86,7%), and Portland (88%) have all rates are “particularly low”, stress the authors. Values lower than 95%. there is also the ACES Lisboa Ocidental/Lisbon, Lisbon Center, Loures/Odivelas, Sintra and Almada-Seixal. In the Central region of the ACES Pinhal Interior Norte records is a cover from 91.7%. In April 2017 at the earliest, on the death of a 17-year-old in the wake of a case of pneumonia of the bilateral, and was the first in many years brought on by the measles in the Uk. At that time, Teresa Fernandes, the team's co-ordination of the National Programme of Vaccination, was acknowledged to the AUDIENCE that it had on small communities, on a local level, with the highest rates of non-vaccination in which the risk is increased. The guardianship, I knew where there were these pockets of non-vaccination, but it is the expert's preferred so you do not specify the data for the non-release of the situation, and because of the local and regional level, is being developed to raise awareness of the children. In the report of the CNS, and this is one of the best additions to the document, “for the first time provided the data are broken down, which will allow you to see the discrepancies and high variability at the regional level on a range of indicators, such as immunization, highlighted by Gonçalo Figueiredo Augusto, a physician and public health expert at the Council. Without being able to specify the reasons for the low rates of vaccination against measles at the age of six, the referee observes that there may be a case “for delays in vaccination in this age mix and, where appropriate, the existence of pockets of non-vaccination. These are questions which, it argues, need to be monitored at the local level and in the ACC. To increase family Doctors, in This view more closely, we also see that they are large inequalities in access to general practitioners, two years after the entry into force of the act, which provides that no child shall be deprived of the medical assistant within the National Health Service. What is certain is that in October there were still more than 150 thousand children and young people under the age of 18 years of age) without a family physician are assigned, and for the most part (110 thousand euros) lies in the region of Lisbon and Vale do Tejo region. While in the North, Centre and several of the ACES were covered, or nearly the total of this age group in the various groups of Lisbon and the Tagus Valley and the Algarve, and again the coverage was poor in the ACES of the Amateur, the Bow River, Lisbon and Western Algarve, about one-fourth of the children did not have a family doctor. But the worst situation was in the Wood, where the housing was up by 61%. They are also identified as gaps in the distribution of human resources in the health care teams of the school. The national program in this area calls for the allocation of up to 30 hours per week for each group of 2500 students, but there are many elements in these units, and they do not have a load time that is allocated to the programme, they are often diverted to other tasks, with regret, the members of the caisse nationale de santé"". Mental health is a priority and Stressed that all of the actions in the stages of early “are smart options for government', the directors paint a portrait for the promotion of health in a number of areas. One of these areas is mental health, which they consider a matter of urgency. The estimates of the World Health Organization indicates that between 10% and 20% of children and adolescents will experience one or more mental health problems, but it's just a room, it is referred to the specialist services. In the Uk, note that by Gonçalo Figueiredo Augusto, there is no specific data for this age group. What is clear is that the provision of mental health care, and the teenage years is a long way to meet the needs of the population, and it is to fall short of the goals set forth in the final plan for this area. This is despite the fact that many studies have indicated that ""the economic gains obtained from the intervention, the psychological can be as much as 17 times higher than the amounts invested"". But, the study focuses on a lot of other areas, such as obesity in children, oral health, and the health problems associated with the environment in which children and young people to grow up in, including the respiratory system, and accidents. They identify themselves with the national policies, but also projects the local and regional level, some of them very successful, but they have not been extended to the rest of the country. For example, in the electronic version of the Newsletter for Health care for Children and young people which started in a pilot phase, in the Alentejo, by the year 2016, but it was there.

The sick are almost as vulnerable to the pathogen as a new-born, reinforcing the usefulness of the vaccination. Public health professionals had previously observed that the vaccination campaigns against measles were lower infant mortality total. But the researchers were not sure of the biological mechanisms. A team of Harvard researchers, of the medical Institute Howard Hughes and the Erasmus university in the netherlands analyzed the blood of 77 Dutch infants infected with measles during the epidemic that struck the country in 2013 : their blood had been taken before the infection, and then again two months after. The researchers used a tool developed in the United States and it is called VirScan, which identifies all of the virus that has infected previously a person, and that the immune system remembers : HIV, flu, herpes, and hundreds of other viruses. When the body encounters a virus, it creates antibodies that remain and protect from infections in the future : it is the ""memory"" immune. The analyses showed that the measles eliminated between 11 and 73 % of protective antibodies in children. The measles "" reset your immune system and return you to a more naive state "", explains to the AFP, the epidemiologist Michael Mina, of Harvard, co-author of the study. To return to a high level of antibodies and rebuild their defenses, ""they need to be reinfected by pathogens, such as new-born babies, which take a lot of risks in the first years of their life,"" says Michael Mina. Unlike HIV, the immune defenses are weakened much more quickly, and they are also rebuilding more quickly, says the researcher. The study, supported by tests on macaques, and by another analysis, published Thursday in Science, Immunology, shows that the danger of measles exceeds the only risk related to infection. ""The virus is far more deleterious than we thought, which makes the vaccine more valuable,"" says Stephen Elledge, a geneticist who has developed with colleagues a tool VirScan.",172,"belgium"

Passengers and crew who were on the 19 October northbound NorthLink sailing, the southbound sailing the next day and the northbound sailing on 21 October have been contacted.  They are being advised to contact their GP if they have a fever, rash, dry cough, runny nose or conjunctivitis.  NHS Shetland said vaccination was the only prevention method.  A similar public health warning was issued for a different sailing earlier this month.  Measles, which is now relatively rare in the UK, is a highly contagious illness and while most people recover, it can lead to life-threatening complications.  In 2016 the World Health Organisation declared the disease had been eliminated in the UK, largely as a result of uptake of the MMR vaccine, but that measles-free status was lost earlier this year.  Before a vaccine was introduced, the UK used to see hundreds of thousands of cases and 100 or more deaths each year.",172,"uk"

"2357","Struck by an epidemic of measles, a county north of New York city has taken yesterday the drastic decision to declare a state of emergency and banning of its public places any minor who has not been vaccinated against the disease. A drastic measure, The ban, effective as of midnight and for 30 days, seems to be the most radical announced in the United States since measles re-emerged in several regions, following the movements of resistance to vaccines. The measure defines public places as any place supposed to collect 10 or more persons, means of transportation included - was announced yesterday by the head of the county of Rockland on its official website, and then in a press. ""We must do everything in our power to extinguish this epidemic and protect the health of those who cannot be vaccinated for medical reasons or are too young to be vaccinated"", said the head of the county, Ed Day. Reactions ""unacceptable and irresponsible"", He lamented, ""the increasing resistance"" from some of the people on the face of the health officials who are trying to protect. ""It hangs up on the nose or they are told not to come back"", when they go to visit homes affected, as noted by Ed Day, describing these reactions as ""unacceptable and irresponsible"". The county of Rockland, approximately 40 miles of New York, has more than 300000 inhabitants. A measles epidemic is rife since October, when seven of those who contracted the disease arrived in the county, this is the longest outbreak of the disease since its eradication official in 2000, according to Ed Day. The county has registered a total of 153 confirmed cases, he said. Despite vaccination campaigns and intensive since the beginning of the epidemic, some 27% of children between one and 18 years are still not vaccinated, he lamented. Too many exemptions allowed? ""These figures say a lot about the reasons why the epidemic continues"", according to Ed Day. The neighborhoods most affected are the areas with a large population of ultra-orthodox jewish: the opponents of vaccines are numerous, and often have links with the orthodox communities of Brooklyn, also affected by the disease, according to the New York Times. Many vaccines are theoretically mandatory in the United States to go to school. But 47 of the 50 States, including New York, allow for exemptions, including for reasons of ""religious"".",171,"france"
"2358","In the first half of 2018, we had identified 41 000 cases of measles in France. The epidemic then disappeared during the summer. She returns this fall in the department of Seine-Saint-Denis. Measles is a viral disease highly contagious which is characterized, in a first time, by a rhinitis, a conjunctivitis with lacrimation, swelling of eyelids, discomfort in the light, and a cough, high fever up to 40 °C. These symptoms last for 3 to 4 days before the rash starts on the face, behind the ears, the neck, before spreading to the torso and limbs. The disease is accompanied by great fatigue. It lasts ten days. It can be complicated by a lung infection or neurological problems. The only treatment for measles is based on the prescription of antipyretics (medicines against fever). Already about 60 cases In Seine-Saint-Denis, during the single month of October, with 56 cases of measles have already been diagnosed. The only means of limiting the movement of the virus in France is vaccination. But its rate is still insufficient. To stop the epidemic, it is important that it reaches 95 %. However, no department has such a cover. The latest study shows a vaccination rate average of 79 %. France is behind. Other european countries to reach the coverage of 95 % : Spain, Iceland, Portugal... The abcs of the vaccine Since January 1, 2018, the measles vaccine is part of the 11 vaccines required for children born on or after this date. The child should receive two doses between the ages of 12 and 18 months. The vaccine is reimbursed at 100 % up to the age of 17 years, and then 65 % thereafter, not to mention the addition of health mutuals. To arrive at this 95% vaccination coverage, people born from 1980, too, must receive two doses of measles vaccines.",171,"france"
"2361","The Health Agency Regional New Aquitaine comes to reveal the number of measles observed in this area : 115 measles cases since November 2107, including 16 on the university campus, 32 hospitalizations, and 1 patient in the intensive care unit. The health authorities announce, in addition, another focus of infection to Poitiers. But it is likely that the numbers are not the best in the other regions. For specialists of infectious diseases and vaccination, we are facing an epidemic. What does not surprise, but reinforces their anger, for it is now the case every year since 2008, while France participated in the elimination of this disease put in place by Europe, between 2005 and 2010. A disposal plan that should, theoretically, lead to this that there are more outbreaks, even if they are small. With a success in the countries of northern Europe that have applied the policy, in particular in the netherlands, where the disease has disappeared completely. A delay in diagnosis is common, measles is an infectious disease of viral origin that gives small red patch on the skin at the 15th day. Before, there were a dozen days of incubation of the virus without any signs, but contagious at the end, and then a phase of invasion where the infected person has no sign on the skin : she has fever, red eyes, coughing (which increases the spread of the virus), and children may have stomach pain. The beginning is not typical for young physicians who have never encountered this disease in the course of their studies. However, each day promotes the dissemination : it is estimated that an infected person can infect 15 to 20 people. A serious epidemic of measles is raging currently in indonesian Papua with more than 800 malnourished children hospitalized, many dead... If you want to see the past of the measles... or the future, welcome to Irian Jaya. In case the immunization coverage with imperfect reduction or the eradication of an infectious disease is proportional to its degree of infectiousness and the rate of vaccination, which is clearly insufficient in France. In our country, the disease had, in a first time, practically disappeared and the case be counted on the fingers of the hand. A peak in 2005 has changed the situation. The Regional Agency for New-Aquitaine admit failure. The vaccination coverage is inadequate : it varies from 70.8% to 81% when WHO recommended coverage of 95% to hope to eradicate the disease. This is achieved in the netherlands, where the disease has disappeared. Since January 1, 2008, more than 23 000 cases of measles were reported in France, of which nearly 15 000 cases reported in 2011.The battle is not won, far from it, as confirmed by what is probably a new pic. The ""good citizenship"" health remains the first line of defense against epidemics Recall that the vaccine, which is done in two injections, is called the MMR (measles, mumps, rubella). It is recommended between 12 and 18 months and can be caught at any age. Not always benign measles, in most cases, was not considered a serious disease. However, the tone has changed on the part of health authorities who speak today of the highly contagious disease to be taken seriously. Since 2008, more than 1 000 cases presented with complications, hospitalizations, and 10 deaths. This is why it is now a notifiable disease... The vaccine is effective, but this story demonstrates that vaccination, it is of course to protect themselves, but also to protect the other. You have the means to eliminate these diseases. In its press release, the ARS puts it, ""inadequate immunization coverage"", including New-Aquitaine, and particularly in the Gironde. Probably the same findings will be derived in the Poitou. The microbes strike groups measles is an infectious disease of viral origin, eruptive and very contagious, which is linked to a ""paramyxovirus"". It is transmitted mainly by the airborne route, for example when a sick person who is contagious coughs, he sends in the air of micro-droplets of saliva infected with virus. It is also possible to get measles after contact with a surface contaminated by nasal secretions and sputum. To spread, virus-like, therefore, the promiscuity, the meetings. What could be more favourable than that of a campus student ? It is one of the university campus that is part of the epidemic of Bordeaux. The phase of contagiousness starts the day before the first symptoms appear, and extends up to 5 days after the beginning of the appearance of the buttons. Thus, a person who is infected, according to the specialists, infecting 15 to 20 others. Measles is not a benign disease, measles can be complicated, especially in infants or in persons with fragile, and lead to a hospitalization. It is primarily a pneumonia with superinfection by bacteria. It is a serious infection of the lung that can lead the patient in the icu. Then, it is a risk of viral infection of the brain ("" encephalitis ""). These complications can lead to death, and give of pulmonary sequelae and neurological life. Only protection : vaccination is The only way to avoid getting measles is to get vaccinated. Very effective, the vaccine is only contraindicated in the allergic to egg white, in the immunocompromised, and pregnancy. Traditionally, the regimen consists of the injection of a dose of MMR vaccine (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) at 12 months and then a second injection between 16 and 18 months. For people who have never been vaccinated against measles, catch-up is possible. It consists of the injection of two doses of vaccine at least one month apart. In the event of an outbreak, it is possible to receive the vaccine up to 72 hours after contact with a person suffering from measles to prevent the occurrence of the disease (catch-up vaccination).

"2367","The threat that rises. From January 2018, Europe is facing its biggest measles outbreak in 10 years : more than 41 000 children and adults have contracted the disease in recent months on the continent (37 died), is two times more than in the whole of the year 2017. In the Ile-de-France, the Regional Agency of Health has observed 56 cases of measles in the single month of October, while we observed 3 to 4 months before a sharp increase, according to Aurélien Rousseau, the director general of the agency at the microphone of France Blue, so much that each patient can infect between 15 and 20 people. The home affect mainly the Seine-Saint-Denis and it has not yet seen any deaths, but eleven patients have been hospitalized, mostly children 4 years of age whose immunizations were not up-to-date. There was no explanation on the origin of this outbreak outside of the insufficient vaccination coverage. Improve our immunization coverage is the only way to limit the progression of the measles. Mobilization of the @seinesaintdenis and centers PMI and the@ARS_IDF : don't vaccinate, this is not a personal choice, it is of running a collective danger. https://t.co/KhH80v9jB2 — Aurélien Rousseau (@aur_rousseau) November 8, 2018 The vaccination coverage is not optimal There is a minimum threshold of vaccination coverage in a population as a ""group protection"" works and protects those who cannot be vaccinated (newborns, immunosuppressed...). This threshold depends on the contagiousness of the disease. In France, with a vaccine coverage of about 97% for diphtheria, one exceeds the threshold of herd immunity, and it is, therefore, the whole nation is protected, including in the case of infection made by a migrant. In the same way, the Haemophilus influenzae b of the child, rubella, or mumps have been nearly eliminated in the country because the coverage rate of vaccines exceeds the threshold of herd immunity to these 3 diseases. On the other hand, the current level of measles vaccination coverage (79 %) remains insufficient to enable a immunity group (the threshold of herd immunity = 95 %), and so we see resurgences of epidemic disease large-scale : more than 23 000 reported cases in France between 2008 and 2012, more than 1,500 pneumonia severe, and over 30 types of encephalitis with 10 deaths). It is unbearable and it is dangerous at a time when more than 41 000 cases of measles are observed in Europe. A regimen in 2 steps Traditionally, the regimen consists of the injection of a dose of MMR vaccine (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) at 12 months and then a second injection between 16 and 18 months. For people who have never been vaccinated against measles, catch-up is possible. It consists of the injection of two doses of vaccine at least one month apart. In the event of an outbreak, it is possible to receive the vaccine up to 72 hours after contact with a person suffering from measles to prevent the occurrence of the disease (catch-up vaccination). The vaccine is extremely well tolerated, and has exceptional contra-indications. It is not the measles. This is not a benign disease of childhood, measles is an infectious disease caused by a highly contagious virus that affected previously, especially young children from the age of 5-6 months. This is no longer the case : a third of the reported cases in France of people over the age of 15. A sick person can contaminate up to 20. Measles is 10 times more contagious than the flu. It spreads very easily from person to person through the air when coughing, sneezing, or by contact with contaminated objects (toys, handkerchiefs...). Often mistakenly regarded as benign, ""measles is not a childhood disease, it also applies to teenagers and young adults and may cause serious complications (pneumonia, encephalitis,...), and sometimes hospitalization and even death, recently explained the Regional Agency of Health of Occitania. 23 000 cases in Ukraine Ukraine is the country most hard hit with 23,000 cases in 6 months, followed by Serbia, Russia, Italy, Georgia, germany, Greece, or even France. According to Public Health France, ""the number of measles cases increases significantly (in France, editor's Note) since November 2017. This situation is the result of inadequate immunization coverage among infants (79% with two doses of the vaccine instead of the 95% required), children and young adults"". More specifically, 2741 cases were reported in France between November 6, 2017 and August 2018, 22% of them were hospitalized and three deaths have occurred since January. In sum, contrary to popular belief, measles is not an eradicated disease, or a childhood disease benign. It also affects adults, can lead to pulmonary complications, or neurological are serious and can even be fatal. Measles globally, measles is still a cause of death important in children in a poor state of health, but WHO did a colossal job. Between 2000 and 2005, more than 300 million children aged nine months to fifteen years of age were vaccinated or vaccinated again. In 2015, nearly 77 % of the world's population was vaccinated, resulting in a reduction of mortality : less than 345 000 deaths this year on 20 million patients. In Europe, a plan for measles elimination has been implemented between 2005 and 2010. We are talking about elimination when no outbreak – however small - does not take place for a year or more. It is based on vaccination, where the logic of the vaccination requirement in France since January 2018.",171,"france"
"2380","In the small world of infectious diseases, there is one that makes the resistance : the measles. While there is an effective vaccine, that has been in short all the means to eradicate it completely, it is nothing. For the past few years in Europe, as in France, measles cases multiply, a symbol of the failure of a health policy. Measles is a highly contagious virus is spread through direct contact and through the air. The world health Organization (WHO) has recognized 134 000 deaths in 2015. To protect themselves, so there is a vaccine, which is made in two times : the first injection is recommended before 12 months, the second within 18 months. But often the parents neglect the second vaccine. Normally, the protection lasts for the life. In France, more than 24 000 cases in nine years, According to public Health France, which has just made public the latest data, the measles in the country is doing well. ""On January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2016, or nine years, more than 24 000 cases of measles were reported in France, of which nearly 15 000 cases in 2011 alone."" And this has not been without effect : nearly 1 500 people submitted then a lung disease serious, 34, a neurological complication, and 10 have died. The optimists will be able to reassure them by noting that the number of cases has sharply decreased in 2012, and then it remained stable in 2013 and 2014 (respectively, 859, 259 and 267 reported cases). In 2015, their number increased again (364), in connection with a major outbreak in Alsace (230). In 2016, 79 cases have been reported. But in 2017, it resumes : January 1-march 31, 2017, 134 cases have been detected, which is three times more than in 2016 over the same period. This strong increase is to establish a link with an outbreak in Lorraine. The movement of the virus also remains active in several departments, ""and France is not immune to a new outbreak of scale important, such as those seen currently in several european countries, first among which Romania,"" according to public Health France. The situation is also deteriorating in Europe In Europe, the situation crumbles, too. During the first two months of 2017, more than 1 500 cases of measles have been reported in 14 european countries. What are the causes ? ""Due to a large number of non-vaccinated individuals,"" said the officials of the european Centre prevention and control (ECDC). In ten countries – Austria, Belgium, Croatia, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Romania, Spain and Sweden – the number of cases reported in January-February 2017 has more than doubled compared to the first two months of 2016. ""It is unacceptable to hear that the children and the adults die from the disease, while vaccines that are safe and cost-effective are available,"" responded Vytenis Andriukaitis, the Health commissioner of the EU. Read also:Epidemic of measles : the bohemians the German side of the plate fact, measles is so there, right there. The report of the ECDC pointed to one of the most troubling aspects of the recent epidemics : they touched now a little bit of all the world, and so not only children who are not vaccinated. In 2015 and 2016, about one-third of all measles cases in Europe were of adults over the age of 20. The problem became european with this distrust insistent of the public in the vaccination. However, the interruption of measles transmission requires at least 95% immunization coverage with two doses. ""The latest data for 2015 showed that the immunization coverage for the second dose of measles was less than 95% in 15 of the 23 countries of the european Union"", has detailed the ECDC. In France, as you begin, this Monday, the european immunization Week, only 73% of French people are vaccinated. And this is emblematic of the situation in france : the measles vaccine is not mandatory, but it is recommended and it is refunded at 100% up to the age of 18 years. At the end of 2016, a citizen consultation had pushed for an expansion of mandatory vaccinations. We waited, echoing, for a decision of the ministry of Health. It is not coming.",171,"france"

Indeed, it is one of the main causes of the current outbreak of the disease in the world, where the number of cases has increased 300 % during the first quarter of 2019, and even 700 % in Africa according to the World Health Organization (WHO). ""To date, 170 countries have reported 112.163 cases of measles during the first three months of the WHO against 28.124 cases in 163 countries for the same period of 2018 "".

Measles is indeed one of the most contagious diseases in the world and has not today of treatment. Opposition to vaccination On the other hand, it can be prevented by two doses of a vaccine ""safe and effective"" reminds us of the WHO. If in Africa, the upsurge in cases can be explained by the inability of the populations of countries at war to access to health care, in developed countries it is the distrust of vaccines that has led to the resurgissement of the disease. This is what we observe currently in New York, where 285 cases have been reported since the fall, including 228 within the ultra-orthodox jewish community opposed to vaccination. 24 killed in France about ten years Ditto in Germany, where since October, and nothing that in Berlin, 570 people have been infected so that the minister of health, Jens Spahn will make a legislative proposal in may to make the vaccination mandatory as in France.

The measles vaccine was introduced in the immunization schedule in French in 1983 for all infants. It was a recommended vaccine – and non-compulsory, as is now the case for children born from 2018. Very many parents have long followed this recommendation. According to the recommended diagram, a first injection has been frequently performed at the age of 12 months, and then a second between 16 and 18 months. But the world has not benefited from this double injection. To find out if this is indeed the case, ask your doctor or pharmacist to check your health book. If you have received no injection or a single injection in your childhood, read the rest of this article. I was born before 1980, should I get vaccinated ? There is a very strong likelihood that you are already immune. In countries where studies have been conducted, it is seen that the children born before the introduction of vaccination have a high probability of having been exposed to the virus and contracted the disease [1]. In France, 98.8% of people born between the early 1960s and 1980s have contracted the disease (99.8 per cent for those born before the 1960s). Before the introduction of vaccines, countries such as France considered the infection during childhood as a phenomenon almost inevitable [2]. However, it is recommended to the individuals born before 1980 who exercise a profession of health or by being in contact with young children to get the vaccine if no history of measles is recorded in their health record. The vaccine is reimbursed 65% by social Security. In this advanced age, one dose is sufficient (see below). I have not received a dose of vaccine as a child, am I well protected ? According to the immunization schedule is current French for children born between 1983 and 2018, first dose was recommended at 12 months and a second between 16 and 18 months. We do not vaccinate against measles before 12 months, because antibodies from the mother are still circulating in the organism of the child. Introducing an antigen characteristic of measles in a baby's body would involve these antibodies, but would not put in motion the own immune system of the baby ! It is only when the maternal antibodies have disappeared as the antigen will lead to the anticipated response in a vaccination : learn to recognize an antigen and produce antibodies against it, without as much as a pathology develops. However, in a number of children, vaccination at 12 months fails because of the persistence of maternal antibodies. A second injection is, therefore, indispensable a few months later to be virtually certain that the reaction is expected to occur. If a single injection at an age when maternal antibodies have disappeared is sufficient, why vaccinate at 12 months ? Precisely because at this age, many children are already the most protected. The idea is to protect a maximum number of children receptive as soon as possible. If you have not received a single dose of vaccine at 12 months, you may be protected... but nothing is certain. This is why it is advisable to receive a second dose of the vaccine later in his life. Before 17 years, the social Security pays for this vaccine to 100%. Beyond that, the reimbursement is 65%. Is it possible to catch measles despite being vaccinated ? As we have seen, the people who have received only one dose of vaccine may catch the measles. If two injections were performed, the likelihood of developing measles is extremely low. The Inpes is estimated that 5 to 10% of people vaccinated against measles do not respond to the first dose, but that at least 90% of those who did not respond to the first dose will respond to the second. Why is the minister of Health referred to it today in a ""catch-up vaccination"" ? Measles is a potentially fatal disease. If a sufficient proportion of the population is properly vaccinated, the virus cannot find the relay, may not be spread, and thus infect fragile persons (children who have not received two doses of vaccine, immunocompromised persons, persons who did not respond to the vaccine, other individuals who are non-vaccinated). It is currently estimated that a rate of 95% immunization provide immunization coverage to be effective. However, this rate is much lower in Europe, especially in France. This under-vaccination is accompanied since 2008, a resurgence of measles cases in the territory. However, the complications of the disease can be severe, including pneumonia or encephalitis, ending sometimes in death. the drafting of Allodocteurs.fr Thanks to Measles Epidemiology and Vaccine France - Information ",170,"france"
"5158","NEW YORK MAYOR Bill de Blasio has declared a public health emergency in parts of Brooklyn, ordering all residents to be vaccinated to contain a measles outbreak concentrated in the ultra-Orthodox Jewish community.  The order concerns all people living or working in four zip codes of Williamsburg.  Since October, 285 cases of measles have been confirmed in New York City, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).  “It was time to take a more muscular approach,” de Blasio told a news conference as the emergency measures were announced.  “This can be turned around quickly,” he said. “We can stop this.”  “I urge everyone, especially those in affected areas, to get their MMR vaccines to protect their children, families and communities,” de Blasio said in the statement.  Under the new rules, anyone who has not received the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine or does not have evidence of immunity risks a fine of $1,000 (€887), a statement from the mayor’s office said.  The city has also warned that yeshiva religious schools and day care programmes serving the local Orthodox Jewish community would face penalties and possible closure if they continue to take in unvaccinated students.  The group, along with other minorities impacted such as the Amish community, do not necessarily have religious objections to vaccinations but local media in the region has in recent months reported that they can be more vulnerable to ‘anti-vaxx’ movements.  The mayor’s decision comes after officials in Rockland County – with a population of 300,000 people and roughly 40km north of New York City – last month banned unvaccinated children from entering public places “with a congregation of more than 10 people” as well as banning them from using public transport.  Although measles was declared officially eliminated from the US in 2000, a total of 465 cases have been confirmed in 19 states from 1 January to 4 April, according to the CDC.  “This is the second-greatest number of cases reported in the US since measles was eliminated in 2000,” it said.  Global issue  The latest concerns come as 98 countries across the world have reported spikes in the number of people who have contracted the viral illness, according to a recent Unicef report.  In Ireland alone there has been a 208% increase in the number of cases recorded in 2018 against cases recorded in 2017.  The countries with the highest recorded increase were Ukraine with 30,338 cases, the Philippines with 13,192 cases and Brazil with 10,262 cases – all due mainly to internal conflicts and vaccine shortages.  Measles are most commonly diagnosed among children between the ages of one and four but can affect all ages, and those with other illnesses and pregnant women are at particular risk.  There were 74 reported cases Ireland in 2018, up from 25 reported cases in 2017.  To date in 2019, there have been 28 reported cases – 15 of which have been confirmed and the rest are probable or possible.  A recent episode of the TheJournal.ie’s The Explainer podcast examined why there has been such a huge increase globally in a disease that was once thought to be on its way to being eradicated.  Source: The Explainer/SoundCloud  MEASLES: How to recognise the symptoms?  High fever  Cough  Runny nose  Red eyes  Red rash that starts on the head and spreads down the body – this normally starts a few days after onset of illness; the rash consists of flat red or brown blotches, which can flow into each other; it lasts about four to seven days  Vomiting, diarrhoea and tummy pain may also happen  Measles can cause chest infections, fits (seizures), ear infections, swelling of the brain and/or damage to the brain.  The Department of Health gives the following advice in relation to the MMR vaccine:  All children should get the MMR vaccine when they are aged 12 months; if any child aged over 12 months has missed this vaccine they should get it now from their GP  All children should get a second dose of MMR vaccine when they are four to five years old or in junior infants at school; if any child in senior infants or older has missed this vaccine they should get it now from their GP  Adults under 40 years who have not had measles or have not received two doses of MMR vaccine should contact their GP to get the MMR vaccine  Adults over 40 years of age may sometimes be at risk and if such adults never had measles nor a measles-containing vaccine they should consider getting the MMR vaccine from their GP  What advice does the HSE give to people who think they might have measles?  Do not go to work, school or creche  Stay at home and phone your GP – tell the doctor or nurse that you think you might have measles  Stop visitors coming to your home  Pregnant women who have been exposed to measles should seek medical advice as soon as possible  With reporting by Conor McCrave and © – AFP, 2019",170,"ireland"
"54","40,000 children vaccinated! That was the stated goal of a preventive vaccination campaign for children under five years of age, by Doctors without borders is currently in the Central African Republic. Instead, there were a total of 64,000. How it came to be, according to the nurse, Vera Schmitz, who is already for the eighth Time for us to use. The original Plan was to vaccinate all the children of the Region in the South of the country under the age of five against seven different diseases - from the detail-planned preparations, I told you in my last Blog. As a reminder: It was vaccination against measles, Tetanus, Hepatitis B, pertussis, diphtheria, Haemophilus Influenza B and pneumococcal the last two can produce lung inflammation. My Team and I are ready! Start... © Vera Schmitz/MSF But how was it again? First, it comes different and secondly than one thinks! Especially if it is a use with Doctors without borders! In the crisis regions in which we operate, it is often unexpected events that require quick thinking and behaviour. As well as here. The preparations were almost completed, the vaccination campaign was about to begin – when we received the Information that several children were sick with the measles. Measles are one of the so-called ""Main Killers"", the (global) most common causes of death in the age of the child. Complications can be severe and fatal, especially (but not only) if it is a form of risk patients such as small children or patients with an immune weakness. Can meet every, the is not vaccinated. Add to that the high risk of Infection – so few first cases can quickly lead to an epidemic of unimagined proportions. Now what? Quickly it was clear that urgent action is needed. The risk of a spreading epidemic and its consequences for the population were too large. Finally, the vaccination coverage in the Region is low, especially within the most vulnerable group – children under five years of age. After an Evaluation of our capacities and possibilities of talks with the local health authorities followed, and finally gave it the green light! Green Light! The vaccination campaign against measles can begin! © Vera Schmitz/MSF to The new Plan? To vaccinate instead of 40,000 children under five years of age, was the name of the new task: to vaccinate All children under 15 years of age, and in four instead of six weeks. This means not only vaccinations, but also more Personal, cars, motorcycles, spraying, cooling containers and other Material – and as quickly as possible! Vaccination alone, however, is only one leg to stand on, if there is a measles outbreak. At least as important is that those who are already ill, timely medical treatment. Small health in the Region as a whole, items distributed, however, there are many villages and settlements, which are part of the several hours of walking. Medicines are scarce and normally need to be from the patients themselves paid for. Health is a luxury. The path in the remote villages was often difficult... © Vera Schmitz/MSF at the beginning of April, then it went off finally. Five Teams were on the road every day to vaccinate the children in the remote villages. Another Team was busy, to visit the various health posts and villages affected to treat measles patients and patients and to distribute drugs. The access to medical treatment has improved significantly and the number of complications will be reduced. The Goal? Arrive! You could almost say - the journey not the destination – as difficult as the getting there part has designed. Apart from the fact that some places are from the outset only by motorbike, a pie, or to walk away – as we have encountered in the course of the campaign on various other obstacles. Countless bridges in precarious health conditions that complicate the journey, many fallen trees that are blocking the way, the rain season, the result is that the car sometimes remains stuck in the mud... not to mention flat tire! With the Landcruiser through rough terrain. © Vera Schmitz/MSF Once on site, however, it is not all. The ""path"" to the children and mothers need to follow is prefabricated. The Impfstandort is around cordoned off around, and only a narrow track leaves space for the entry. Thus, the people can control the amount better, to leave one after the other the tour happen. At the beginning, each child receives a Impfkarte, with the required vaccinations – which vary depending on the age and existing doses of the vaccine. The administration of Vitamin A the prophylactic administration plays, especially in connection with the measles, an important role. Next, the vaccine itself - for all children under five, depending on the instructions with the complete package of seven different antigens. All children between five and 15 years received measles vaccination. Last stop is list of the Line – every child and every vaccination – depending on the type and dose is counted and checked. In this way, we have been able to on some days, more than 1000 children are vaccinated! A great performance by the team, but only possible in close cooperation and an alarm clock that goes off at the latest at 4.30 PM. The days are long, because after returning to the base around 17: 00, there is a need to collect data, enter and make the last preparations for the next day. After a month, but it was done and to 64,000 children aged six weeks to under 15 years of age were vaccinated. In the name of my team, I can say, a result to be proud of! Soon time for the second round, if only for the children under five years of age. We are ready!",169,"austria"

The cases are mainly located in Seine-Saint-Denis, has been reported to the regional Agency of health (ARS), which does not, at present, explanation for this unexpected increase. If no deaths were reported, eleven people, however, have been hospitalized because of the measles since September. It consists mainly of 4-year-olds who were not up to date on their measles vaccination. Invited by France Bleu Paris, Aurélien Rousseau, director general of the ARS, was reminded of the importance of this vaccination : “It is a disease, which behind its name that reminds of childhood, is highly contagious, as each person can infect 15 to 20 people. It is for that reason that we mobilize with the department of Seine-Saint-Denis”, he said. “Today, not to vaccinate, that is to take a risk to her children, but also take a risk to all those around them”, said Aurélien Rousseau. Vaccination remains the best way to avoid epidemics, provided that the vaccination coverage is 95%, which is not the case everywhere in France, nor in Europe. Last February, the resurgence of the highly contagious disease had prompted the world Health Organization (WHO) to sound the alarm bell : “with Each new person affected by measles in Europe reminds us that children and adults have not been immunized, regardless of where they live, are at risk of contracting the disease and transmitting it to other people who may not be vaccinated (including persons with a immune system too low, editor's note).

"5159","The HSE has been notified this week of four measles cases in Dublin, affecting two adults and two children.  These four individuals are likely to have developed measles from contact with one of the two earlier cases at hospitals in Dublin which were confirmed last month.  The HSE has asked the public to continue to be vigilant about measles.  ""Measles can be a serious illness and is highly infectious. The best protection is to be fully vaccinated with two doses of MMR (Measles, Mumps, and Rubella) vaccine,"" said Dr Helena Murray, Specialist in Public Health Medicine.  People at increased risk of getting measles are those who are not fully vaccinated with two doses of MMR vaccine or have not had measles in the past. The risk of measles is for up to 21 days after contact with a case of measles.  If you think you may have measles, stay at home and phone your General Practitioner (GP) for advice.  The Public Health Department has sent an alert to all Emergency Departments and GPs in Dublin, Kildare and Wicklow to inform them to be vigilant about measles and has issued the following advice on how to control the further spread of this potentially serious illness:  Vaccination with measles-containing vaccine (MMR):  All children should get the MMR vaccine when they are aged 12 months. If any child aged over 12 months has missed this vaccine they should get it now from their GP.  All children should get a second dose of MMR vaccine when they are 4-5 years old or in Junior Infants at school. If any child in Senior Infants or older has missed this vaccine they should get it now from their GP.  Adults under 40 years who have not had measles or have not received 2 doses of MMR vaccine should contact their GP to get the MMR vaccine.  Adults over 40 years of age may sometimes be at risk and if such adults never had measles nor a measles containing vaccine they should consider getting the MMR vaccine from their GP.  Measles symptoms include:  High fever  Cough  Runny nose  Red eyes  Red rash that starts on head and spread down the body - this normally starts a few days after onset of illness. The rash consists of flat red or brown blotches, which can flow into each other. It lasts about 4-7 days  Vomiting, diarrhoea and tummy pain may also happen.  Measures to prevent the spread of measles if you think you may have measles:  Do not go to work, school or creche.  Stay at home and phone your GP. Tell the doctor or nurse that you think you might have measles.  Stop visitors coming to the house to prevent the spread of measles.  Pregnant women who have been exposed to measles should seek medical advice as soon as possible.  Risk of measles from international travel:  There are on-going outbreaks of measles in multiple countries in the European region and worldwide. Most of the cases in the EU in 2018 were reported from Romania, France, Greece, and Italy. Most people who get measles on holiday do not know they were exposed until they develop disease. Unrecognised exposures to measles have occurred at airports, on planes, at concerts, in shops and health care settings. In 2018, 31 deaths associated with measles have been reported in EU countries.  Advice for people travelling abroad:  Vaccination remains the most effective measure against infection. Children aged 6-11 months of age, travelling to other countries and regions where measles outbreaks are reported, are recommended MMR vaccine. A dose given before 12 months of age does not replace the dose that would normally be given at 12 months of age.  Older children should be age-appropriately vaccinated. Children who have missed their recommended doses should get the MMR vaccine from their GP.  Adults may be at risk of measles, particularly those under 40 years of age who have never had measles or two doses of a measles vaccine.  More about measles:  Measles is highly contagious and is spread easily. The time between exposure to measles and developing the rash is usually 14 days (range 7-21 days). People are infectious from four days before rash starts until four days after.  Complications of measles:  Measles can cause chest infections, fits (seizures), ear infections, swelling of the brain and/or damage to the brain.  Measles is a notifiable disease and GPs and hospital clinicians should immediately notify Public Health if they suspect someone has measles.  Digital Desk",169,"ireland"

The vaccination coverage in the Republic have increased especially over the last few years, but still remain below the 95% threshold, necessary to ensure the herd effect, preventing that is, the circulation of the virus. Currently, the age groups most susceptible to infection are those between 35 and 50 years, before the obligatory nature of the vaccination. The ISS therefore calls on the population that has not been vaccinated or who has not contracted the measles for natural way, to contact the management from the UOC's primary Care at the 0549-994338 from Monday to Friday from 8 to 13, or by email at e-mail address: ufficio.vaccinazioni@iss.sm for information on their immunization and/or to book a vaccination.",168,"italy"
"12310","Of the 86 cases of measles confirmed by the following Monday by the Directorate-General for Health (DGS), 19 were not vaccinated or did not have the schema for the vaccine in full (as early as the beginning of the 1990s, which is recommended in two doses). The vaccine has lost effectiveness? Should the National Programme for the Vaccination to be changed? On Tuesday evening takes place in the Parliament in a public hearing on the measles and vaccines. In a statement the mpc presented at the time of the outbreak in the past year, but only now it was marked up by the committee on health care. Contacted by the general PUBLIC, the PCP, the PS, the BE, the PSD and PAN said they did not have the legislative initiative on the study as a result of the outbreak, but they are waiting for the outcome of the hearing is to assess whether it is appropriate to do so. And are fully committed to the promotion of awareness-raising campaigns and information to increase immunizations. “It is necessary to conduct a more detailed analysis to why this outbreak has all the characteristics of an outbreak of classical style. It is necessary to make a study of the clinical and epidemiological in-depth in order to be able to draw conclusions and to be able to act in the future,” he says of the infecciologista Jorge Atouguia da. To be an outbreak in which a majority of people are vaccinated, the way they have been administered the vaccine, if patients are identified to have the forms that is exacerbated, or mild forms of the disease are some of the key issues that it believes should be considered. Also, an expert in the epidemiology of infectious diseases and a member of the Technical Committee on Immunization of the DGS, Manuel Carmo Gomes, he says that what we are witnessing is a situation in the Uk and in other countries with a high rate of vaccination, which is the result of a prolonged absence of contact with the virus. “Take up our quarrel with the circulation of indigenous measles, and, with that, we have those individuals born from about 1990-95 had no other contact with the virus, it would not be the day that they took the vaccine,” he says, pointing out that, in the presence of the virus in the country is allowed to enable the memory, immune system, and to maintain a high concentration of antibodies. The evidence shows that the proportion of young adults are losing protection as a result of this situation. In the doctoral thesis of professor John Friar, of the Escola Superior de Saúde do Instituto Politécnico de Leiria (portugal), in 2014, it points in the same direction. The teacher indicated that the ages of the taking of the first and second doses of the vaccine could be on the “to be changed in order to adapt to the changes in epidemiology which have occurred over the last few years in Portugal”. This is necessary for us to study the changes in the epidemiological pattern of the population that is, precisely, the exception of Carla Nunes, one of the coordinators of the thesis. The faculty of the National School of Public Health, take a look at this study as a ' survey of the sector, which is natural in any vaccine, and it's a little warning that there is a need to study them.” Manuel do Carmo Gomes, he admits that, can be expected to further surge as the current one. “Although I don't have the transmission based on the virus, you have pockets of [people] which could it is still vulnerable to imported cases, and can lead to chains of transmission,” he says, pointing out that “the elimination of an infectious disease should not be considered in the absence of any cases of the disease in the population, for ever and ever”. And it points out that the vaccine they were sick, had no complications, and this could be a good response from the immune system of these people.” But this is not, however, be sufficiently fast so as to avoid the symptoms.” The specialist said it is not yet certain that it's a possible booster vaccination in adulthood to be the way better. Also, Paula's Brave, she was a consultant for DGS, said: “the existence of a third dose that was not recommended in any country.” The doctor explains that the second dose of the vaccine, will allow the roughly 5% who are estimated to have not been properly vaccinated with the first dose to be protected as well.

To subscribe for x (also Referred to by the professionals they are exposed to “an enormous quantity of viruses, which is beyond the capability of the defense-which was produced by the vaccine, which can not prevent the disease.” And it points to the fact that measles is highly contagious. A single patient can be infected for 18 to 20 people, and that it is not the doctors, the adults used in the measles, it is normal to look first to other diseases as well. It is now known that the origin of the outbreak at the Port, was an Erasmus student who would not be vaccinated and should have been diagnosed as flu-like symptoms in the emergency of the Hospital of Saint Anthony, according to a report in the Express. According to the DGS, since this past Summer, as part of a campaign in the intercontinental play-off for the adults and the children, were vaccinated more than 40 million people. Among which there are between 2000 and 3000 health care professionals. The DGS has initiated, in the light of this outbreak, a report on the immunization rate among health-care professionals, which will be released “soon”.",168,"portugal"

Keep just to the measles the requirement for certification of vaccination for the purposes of the frequency of nurseries and preschools, however, considering that the formulation of the vaccine is trivalent, and covers, therefore, also mumps and rubella.

""We are working - said Sileri - a possible modification of the amendment to the draft vaccines, while maintaining the obligation to have a certification of immunization for school attendance only for the measles: the meeting point, that is, that measles might be necessary to leave the obligation of vaccination and certification. The amendment - it has explained - does not detract from the obligation, but leaves only the penalty, and you remove the exclusion from school. It may therefore be necessary, as we are considering, to leave the requirement for the measles, which poses the most problems at this time, considering that the vaccine is trivalent"".

Doctors have urged people to make sure they and their children are vaccinated against the contagious disease.  Cases are predominantly in unvaccinated children, said Will Welfare from PHE.  Mr Welfare said uptake of vaccinations was ""not high enough"" and this has ""really been illustrated"" by the ""huge increase"" during this recent outbreak.

And others might even declare himself in the next few days. A contamination which reminds us of, after the epidemic that took place in the region, measles is still present on the territory. What are the symptoms ? How do I catch it ? How do I know if I'm immune ?... The point with the doctor in bordeaux Joel Carrera and the regional Agency of health. Measles, that is what it is ? Measles is a viral disease. If the healing usually takes place in ten days, serious complications may occur, which may cause damage to the brain or pneumonia. Complications that, in some cases, can be fatal : in France, one person died last march. In 2018, three deaths have been identified, among them a young 17 year old girl who succumbed, at the CHU of Bordeaux, of neurological complications. What are the symptoms ? Measles is translated by a skin rash, red spots that appear all over the body. These rashes are usually accompanied by a fever pretty violent (39°C – 40°C), and a great fatigue, and even diarrhea. The respiratory tract – the throat, the nose and the lungs – are taken. Who can catch it ? Measles is one of the infectious diseases the most contagious, and, contrary to received ideas, if it mainly concerns the children, it can also affect teenagers and adults who are not vaccinated. Measles is transmitted by saliva, coughing or nasal secretions : either directly, or indirectly through the spread of droplets in the air where the virus is dangerous about two hours. An infected person is contagious in the five days prior to the onset of the first rash until five days after. According to the regional Agency of health, a sick person can infect up to 20 people. Who should get vaccinated ? ""All the world "", says dr. Carrera : ""The vaccination protects you for life. It is essential from a young age. ""The vaccine against Measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine fact, since 2018, part of the 11 mandatory vaccinations for infants : two doses are given at 12 and 18 months, and no recall is required. It is possible to get vaccinated at any age. How do I know if I'm immune ? The majority of people born before 1980 has had measles in childhood, and is therefore immune. It is, in fact, impossible to get twice the disease. For those born after 1980, a verification of vaccination status, via the book of health, is necessary.

""Unfortunately, the data are not good.

These are, according to a press release issued by the World Health Organization (WHO), the reasons that have transformed the 2017 a real “ 'annus horribilis' in terms of the spread of measles in Europe. The data, indicated in that same press release, published on the occasion of a summit between the ministers of Health of the european course of development in Montenegro, they speak very clear. It was, in fact, experienced a number of outbreaks well-21.315 – top of the 400 percent compared to the previous year, when it marked a record downward with just 5.273 cases. Also the number of deaths was particularly high: 35 in all. In Italy, the infected from the infectious disease in 2017 have been 5.006, that is six times ( 600 percent) than those of 2016. The dead in Italy were 4: three children aged 1, 6 and 9 years old and a man of 41, all not vaccinated and with other diseases to the shoulders, as indicated in the bulletin issued by the ministry of Health.

With regard to the vaccination for measles is not compulsory in the European Union, Italy has turned out to be the tail, with a coverage of 85 percent (OECD data relating to 2015), insufficient to ensure that the so-called immunity of the flock. Behind us in France with a vaccination coverage of 91 percent. “Each new person hit by measles in Europe reminds us that children and adults not vaccinated, regardless of where they live, remain at risk of contracting the disease and spreading it to others who might not be able to get vaccinated,” stressed dr. Zsuzsanna Jakab, WHO regional director for Europe, commenting on the data of the last year. “More than 20,000 cases of measles and 35 lives lost only in 2017, "" continued the manager – are a tragedy that we simply can not accept.” To cope with these numbers dramatic the WHO has stressed the importance of increasing the awareness of the public opinion on vaccination as well as immunization of health care workers and adults most at risk and to better plan prevention strategies. The objective of the WHO, despite a 2017 problematic, remains to eradicate the disease (along with measles) in a relatively short time. [Credit: Whitesession]",166,"italy"

More than 115 000 cases have been officially recorded since September, and the balance sheet is of at least 1 200 dead, according to the Associated Press. Lack of vaccines and malnutrition On site, the medical facilities are unfortunately not enough developed to be able to support the population, who, to make matters worse, suffering from chronic malnutrition. A condition that greatly increases the risk of complications in cases of measles reported. ""Malnutrition is the bed of the measles, notes dr.

In addition to the problems of malnutrition, we note that vaccine coverage – primary shield against disease – does not exceed 60% on the island. Coverage at 95% is mandatory to have a chance to keep measles in check. Unlike the United States or Europe, this low vaccination rate here is not the result of a “fear” of vaccines. The malagasy do not have the choice. The treatments are too expensive, and not enough available. Beliefs have a tough skin sometimes – one can read in africanews – that some parents also prefer to turn first to traditional medicines prior to vaccination. And very often it is already too late.

We urgently need medicines and vaccines to deal with the emergency, The worst outbreak of measles in the world is hitting the democratic Republic of the Congo (Drc). Not enough to have the second-worst ebola epidemic in history: the Congo seems likely to continue to grind sad record. According to data just released by Unicef, since January, the disease has already done 4.096 deaths, of which 90% are children less than 5 years. The spread of the disease touches the 26 provinces of the state-central africa and has already infected more than 200 thousand people. The most affected are the children under 5 years of age, 74% of the total, about 140 thousand infections by January. “We are fighting this epidemic on two fronts,” said Edouard Beigbeder, Unicef representative in the Drc, “infection prevention and prevention of deaths. We are racing to vaccinate children and at the same time distribute more medicines to treat the symptoms and increase the chanche of survival of the infected”. Whether it is an emergency, the numbers say it all: the counts exact cases of measles in the Drc, from January to today came to 203.179, more than triple of all the cases in 2018. And to date, the epidemic has already claimed more victims than it has done the worst outbreak of ebola in the history of the congo, which since August last year to today, has made 2.143 victims. The outbreaks of ebola, on the other hand, interest for the time being only the provinces of North Kivu and the Ituri, while the outbreak of measles is affecting the nation as a whole. To address the emergency this week, and the next Unicef will distribute to health centres and medical kits containing antibiotics, painkillers and anti-pyretics (drugs to reduce fever), rehydration salts and vitamin A. The kits are 1.111, one in every ten people infected, and with these tools, emergency the medical staff will be better able to take care of the 111mila people who suffer in a severe stage of the disease, a potentially fatal and very contagious. One of the main constraints in the fight against the epidemic for now remains the vaccination coverage. According to the recommendations of the Who, the measles vaccine should cover at least 95% of the population, but by 2018 only 57% of the congolese was vaccinated. In the last year, efforts have not been lacking: the Unicef has provided 8.6 million doses of the vaccine anti-measles, in particular, in the eight provinces are particularly affected, where it has vaccinated almost a million and a half children. Among these, the Kasai province in the center where it ended the last month of the last vaccination campaign on more than 200 thousand children. But it is not enough. For this reason the congolese government on the 22nd of October, will launch in all 26 provinces in a campaign to vaccinate children from 6 months to 5 years. “We are facing this alarming situation, explains Beigbeder – because of the millions of congolese children don't have any routine immunization and do not have access to medical care when they get sick. The weak health care system, insecurity and lack of confidence of community in system of vaccination, the logistical challenges contribute to a high number of children not vaccinated at risk of contagion”.",165,"italy"

"2393","A rumor stating that the ""u.s. courts"" have acknowledged that the measles vaccine would cause autism, is currently circulating on the internet. This information is not based on any valid proof. Decryption. ""The courts confirm privately that the MMR vaccine causes autism,"" says an article in the site Santé-nutrition.org published in 2015, and which reappears today in the news at the time of the measles epidemic was in full swing. According to Health and nutrition, the ""tribunal of vaccines"" of the u.s. federal government has ""conceded, albeit very quietly, that the combination Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (MMR) vaccine into a single vaccine actually causes autism"". The internet site also accused ""the mainstream media"" not to relay the information, and asserts that the court's decision was in part censored to the public."" But attention, this statement does is based on no evidence or legal, or scientific. MMR vaccine measles, and the risk of encephalitis Go back to the origin of this case to see it more clearly : in 2003, the United States, Ryan Mojabi then nine-year-old receives a dose of MMR vaccine and develop at the same time, an encephalitis (or brain inflammation) and autism spectrum disorders (ASD). The case is the subject of a complaint and the document of the United States Court of Federal Claims (federal Court of complaints), be relayed by the AFP to be Factual, reports that the judges actually acknowledged that the boy has suffered from an encephalitis to the result of the injection. Therefore, and in agreement with the american program of compensation of side effects, the family of Ryan has received a financial compensation of close to a million dollars. But at any point the Court does not establish or recognize a link between the measles vaccine and autism. In fact, encephalitis is one of the side effects recognized by the MMR vaccine, even if its occurrence remains very rare : its frequency is estimated at one in 10 million vaccinations. A frequency so low that ""the risk of encephalitis following administration of the vaccine is much lower than the risk of encephalitis caused by natural infections and thus the measles itself, which involves a risk of encephalitis from one in 1000 to one in 2000 cases of encephalitis, according to the Recommendation Temporary Use (RTU) of the MMR vaccine published by the national security Agency of medicines and health products (MSNA). But even if the side effect is recognized, it is essential to differentiate between encephalitis and autism spectrum disorders, as explained to AFP professor Kumaran Deiva, chief of service in pediatric Neurology at the hospital Bicetre (Val-de-Marne). In fact, it is not uncommon that children with autism exhibit encephalitis, the reverse is not true : ""to say by implication that the measles vaccine can give autism because encephalitis can give autism spectrum disorders, this is wrong,"" details the professor Deiva. A false study to the origin of the rumor But then where does this preconceived idea widely conveyed that the MMR vaccine causes autism ? A study of scientific fraud is at the origin of this myth : published in 1998 in the medical journal the Lancet, it was withdrawn from publication in 2010 and its main author, the gastroenterologist Andrew Wakefield, has since been struck off from the college of physicians of the uk. In this study, dr. Wakefield establishes a causal link between the MMR vaccine and the development of developmental disorders in children. Problems : the doctor is subjected to undeclared conflicts of interests with lobbyists anti-vaccine, it only worked on a sample of persons very low (12 children only) and brings no valid proof of a causal link between the vaccine and autism. ""The article immediately caused an avalanche of reactions among the experts, mainly negative reactions, in particular in the form of letters to the Lancet about the main problem : 'the correlation in time does not imply causality : B following A does not mean that A caused B to...' "" relates the professor Philippe Sansonetti, a physician and researcher in microbiology at the Pasteur Institute, in an editorial published on April 23, 2018 in the journal EMBO Molecular Medicine. Since then, the studies on the subject have confirmed the absence of a link between the vaccine and autism : ""there are No studies that have follow-up conducted with a methodology epidemiological impeccable [...] has not been detected a correlation between an increase in the occurrence of autism and the MMR vaccine,"" writes professor Sansonetti in his editorial. Scientific evidence against the truths of alternatives, Despite the reactions of experts and publications on serious that followed, it took 12 years for the Lancet withdrew the study. ""Too late : the worm was in the fruit. [...] Welcome in the world of fake news in which the authority of scientific evidence is losing ground to the truths and science of alternatives"" laments the professor Sansonetti in his editorial. Today, the rumor of a risk of autism, persists and continues to wreak havoc : ""This case is a scar on that can support the anti-vaccine, at a time when Andrew Wakefield has almost become a benchmark in the world of anti-vaccination,"" explains professor Sansonetti. ""When one wants to kill his dog accuses him of rabies,"" says-t it. Thus, at a time when measles is gaining ground (the number of cases of measles in the world has increased by 50% between 2017 and 2018, according to the WHO), the fear of autism is, for the opponents of vaccination, one more reason to refuse it. But ""it would be wrong to say that the rates, inadequate vaccination against measles are solely due to the arguments anti-vaccine such as the risk of autism. We must not overlook the fact that some parents downplay the seriousness of measles, and that some doctors demystify not enough of the lies and fake news that exist around the vaccination,"" commented the professor Sansonetti. Measles remains a serious disease with risk of complications, whose incidence has decreased mainly thanks to vaccination. And a stop program of vaccination would inevitably entail a resurgence of the disease.",163,"france"

Two pinch can save lives For many people, measles is a harmless childhood disease. However, the virus can be fatal. Nevertheless, there are still parents that don't vaccinate their children. The world health organization (WHO) is planning to measles by 2020 in Europe to eradicate. Why is measles so dangerous? Measles are highly contagious. They weaken the immune system and can lead to complications more serious infections such as meningitis. These serious consequences can also occur years after the initial infection. What are the symptoms of measles? To feel the beginning of an Infected very limp, like a flu. Typical symptoms are high fever, cough, inflammation of the eyes, and a reddened palate and throat. Later, the skin rash occurs with red pustules. Additional complications such as otitis media, Bronchitis, pneumonia, and meningitis threaten. How to I'm me with measles? Measles viruses are transmitted by droplet infection (coughing, Sneezing,). You will only be passed from person to person. Even on distance of several meters contagion threatens. How can I protect myself from measles? The best way to protect yourself through a measles vaccination. Who is vaccinated, not ill, not only by themselves, but can also infect other people. The higher the vaccination rates, the lower the risk of infection. Also for children, who can not be vaccinated, thereby increasing the protection. At what age can children be vaccinated? In General, children are vaccinated between the ages of eleven and 14 months of age against measles, rubella and Mumps. However, the first syringe is not sufficient for protection. Therefore, a second immunization is carried out between the ages of 15 and 23 months. This second vaccination did not receive many of the adults in the 1970s. For a refresher is recommended. A vaccination is also after the outbreak of the disease is still useful? The Robert Koch Institute advises. Although it may take one to two weeks until the Immunization is established. Studies have shown that the disease in Vaccinated a milder. Why are there still parents that don't vaccinate their children? In Impfforen on the Internet, unfounded Fears will be stoked prior to the measles vaccination. Opponents have a fear of damages. On the other hand many parents think that it is good, if your children are a children's disease, because an infectious disease is to strengthen the immune system. What are the side effects of the vaccination? According to the health Department seven to twelve days may occur after such vaccination symptoms such as fever, swollen lymph nodes, and skin rash (Impfmasern). The symptoms have subsided, usually after three days. Also febrile convulsions and allergic reactions are possible.",162,"germany"

Only in the first half of 2018, we registered the highest number of outbreaks since 2010, and the advance of the infection is attributable to low rates of immunization. A barrier that is water. The virus can't proliferate in a community in which at least 95% of the population has been vaccinated: this high percentage ensures that pathogens may not move because it is surrounded by immunized subjects against them, and that even the most vulnerable people (because immunosuppressed, such as patients on chemotherapy) or who cannot be immunized (such as children aged less than one year, in the case of measles) are still protected.

"18513","Almost exactly a year ago, got an alert from the health center Nötkärnan in Bergsjön. One of the first instances in the modern period of the disease had been found, and once all the waves had settled, it was close to 40 people who had been infected. Prior to this, Sweden has not been a single case of the disease since the 80's. To mässlingepidemin started in Bergsjön, is perhaps not a coincidence, as this is an area with a lower vaccination coverage than the national average. However, the event is at the same time, as a part of a much larger trend. In countries such as the Ukraine and Russia, but also in France and Greece, the incidence is now counted in the thousands. And if we move even further away from it – and, in particular, to the krigshärdar – the situation is even worse. According to a recent report, the increase in the number of the infected in 2017 with 30 per cent in the world. Results: of 110 000 people! As if that wasn't bad enough, epidemic hand-in-hand with another trend, namely, the increasingly widespread scepticism about the vaccination. The lead author of the report, mr. James Goodson, said to the Swedish daily newspaper svenska Dagbladet: ""You see, in many places, the shift away from them. As a researcher, it is at times surprising, however, that we will do everything we can to combat the misconceptions, and the calls of uncertain parents, to talk to health care professionals."" The misconceptions Goodson is aimed at, among other things, about the rumors on social media about the risks of the vaccine alleged to cause. Many of these date back to an article in the prestigious The Lancet, in which researcher Andrew Wakefield claimed to have found a link between vaccination against measles, and diseases such as autism, and irritable bowel syndrome. The study was subsequently withdrawn, and, secondly, of the follow-up studies have not demonstrated the same result, and, secondly, to be Used by yourself, could be subject to a number of serious irregularities. The fact is that he was deprived of his position as a researcher. Bottom line: the Reputation of mässlingvaccinets risks, rests with to say the least, shaky ground. And, at the same time, it is, therefore, an increasing number of parents who fail to vaccinate their children against the disease, which in turn can affect the others as well. The disease is is a highly contagious disease, and there is a high risk of the disease, the virus on. In the worst cases, even death. In order to get some perspective on this matter, it may not be worth doing for a historical perspective. Historian Dick Harrison writes a moving piece about measles, which is perhaps the most important single reason for the extinction of The indigenous population. He writes: ”the tsunami claimed the land as countless of tainofolket, and when the measles struck in the 1520s and died, an estimated two-thirds of the world. In the 1600's, there was no taino left behind: all of them had died or been assimilated by the conquerors. Similar to the tragic stories can be told about the mässlingens arrival in Central america, Mexico, and Peru. [...] Mässlingens and smittkoppornas in the aftermath of the 1500-century America is commonly referred to as the largest demographic disaster in the history of mankind.” And as västerlänningarna spread all over the world, continued measles, to reap a harvest of life in the country, and in the islands, which was the primary marker of the disease. The oceania region was hard-hit: in the 1850's and died in a fifth of Hawaii's residents, two decades later, between one-quarter and one-third of all the people in the world. I've seen the numbers, though uncertain, that suggests that about 200 million people have died of measles since 1855.” No, the measles are no fun. And there are no conspiracy theories in the world may be in the vicinity of the weighing up the devastating ravages of the centuries. Dick Harrison, and ends his column: ”the point of this historical background, it would seem, admittedly, rather strange, if not crazy, that there are people out there who deliberately says no to immunisation.” It's hard to keep up with.",162,"sweden"

It is important that anyone who hasn’t already had two doses of the MMR vaccine contacts their GP surgery for an appointment to get vaccinated.  “Also remain alert to the symptoms of measles, which can include cold-like symptoms, sore red eyes, a high temperature and a red-brown blotchy rash. If you experience these symptoms seek medical attention but be sure to phone ahead before you visit your GP surgery or other healthcare setting, so arrangements can be made to prevent others from being infected.”  Measles signs and symptoms  The initial symptoms of measles develop around 10 days after a person is infected.  These can include:  - cold-like symptoms, such as a runny nose, sneezing, and a cough  - sore, red eyes that may be sensitive to light  - a high temperature (fever), which may reach around 40C (104F)  A few days later, a red-brown blotchy rash will appear.

(Updated at 8:35am 25th April 2019)  Parents in our area are being advised to make sure their children are vaccinated - as figures reveal more than half a million younsters in the UK have not had the measles jab.  Hampshire County Council is urging people to protect themselves, their families and the wider community by taking up their routine vaccinations when invited to by their GP.  The council is putting the message out during European Immunisation Week this week - and says if parents are unsure whether they and their children have had all their vaccinations, to check online.  The reminder comes as the children's charity UNICEF releases statistics showing that nearly 170 million children in the world under the age of 10, including 2.5 million in the US, are not vaccinated against measles.  The UK ranks the third worst among developed countries, below the US and France, with 527,000 missing out on their first jab over the last eight years.  The figures coincide with a sharp rise in cases - the number in England trebled from 259 in 2017 to 966 in 2018.  The highly contagious disease can cause disability or even death.  Head of Campaigns and Advocacy at UNICEF, Alistair Harper, said they have been trying to fight the so-called anti-vax movement, which wrongly believed the jabs are harmful:  ""More and more information is coming across social media. ""It comes from various sources, not all of it can be trusted, and parents and guardian can't be sure what information to trust. ""First and foremost, we need to get the right information out there: that vaccination is the thing that will keep children alive. ""Vaccination is saving five children every single minute of the day, and we want to make sure that keeps happening, and increases.""  Chief executive of NHS England, Simon Stevens described vaccine rejection as ""a serious and growing public health time bomb.  ""With measles cases almost quadrupling in England in just one year, it is grossly irresponsible for anybody to spread scare stories about vaccines, and social media firms should have a zero tolerance approach towards this dangerous content.""  Children need two doses of the measles vaccine for protection, with the World Health Organisation (WHO) recommending 95% coverage to achieve herd immunity, which offers protection against the disease spreading in the community.  In 2016 and 2017, uptake of the first dose of the MMR jab, which includes the measles vaccine, in five-year-olds in the UK exceeded 95% for the first time.  However, two doses of MMR vaccine are required to ensure full protection from measles. Uptake of the second dose of MMR in five-year-old children is 88% - well below the 95% WHO target.  Public Health England's head of immunisations, Mary Ramsay, said while the overall risk here is low, with the UK having achieved WHO measles elimination status in 2017, families should still get their children immunised.  She said ongoing outbreaks in Europe could see more cases - leading ""to some spread in communities with low MMR coverage and in age groups with very close mixing.""  How is measles spread?  The measles virus is highlly contagious and is spread through coughing and sneezing but it can live in the air for up to two hours and 90% of those near an infected person will become infected themselves if they are not immune.  What are the symptoms?  Symptoms include a runny nose, sneezing and a cough, sore eyes, a high temperature and small greyish-white spots on the inside of the cheeks.  A few days later, a red-brown blotchy rash will appear. This usually starts on the head or upper neck before spreading outwards to the rest of the body.  What are the consequences?  Symptoms usually pass in seven to ten days, but in some cases the consequences can be devastating.  Complications can include hepatitis, meningitis, or infection of the brain itself encephalitis.  In rare cases it can lead to loss of vision, heart and nervous system problems and even death.",159,"uk"

"5161","NINETY-EIGHT COUNTRIES around the world experienced an increase in measles cases last year, including Ireland.  There were 77 reported cases here in 2018, based on provisional figures, up from 25 in 2017.  To date in 2019, there have been 28 reported cases – 15 of which have been confirmed and the rest are probable or possible.  Source: HSE  People of all ages have been affected, but most cases relate to children under the age of four. Two outbreaks have been confirmed so far this year – in Donegal and north Dublin.  The increase in cases, both in Ireland and abroad, is examined in the latest edition of TheJournal.ie‘s The Explainer podcast which was released earlier today.  Source: The Explainer/SoundCloud  Measles is a highly infectious illness and spreads very easily. The uptake rate for the MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) vaccine is quite high in Ireland – about 92% – but this has varied over the years.  The HSE’s goal is to reach a rate of at least 95%, the level needed for herd immunity – whereby people who can’t be vaccinated for health reasons rely on those around them being vaccinated to prevent the spread of conditions such as measles.  Speaking to TheJournal.ie, Dr Mary Ward, who works in the Public Health section of HSE East, said the single biggest risk factor in terms of getting measles is not being vaccinated or not receiving both doses of the vaccine.  All children are entitled to, and advised to, get the MMR vaccine at the age of 12 months. They are supposed to get a second dose when four or five (in junior infants). Adults who are not sure if they received the vaccine as a child are advised to contact their GP to check and discuss getting a booster if needed.  “The biggest risk is people who haven’t had their two MMRs, definitely. We’re most concerned about school-going children who don’t have the MMR,” Ward told us.  File photo Source: Shutterstock/Rawpixel.com  She said herd immunity is vital to protect “vulnerable” people who cannot be vaccinated or babies who are too young to be vaccinated.  You should get vaccinated to protect yourself and protect those who can’t take the vaccine. In any school, there could be a child who is undergoing chemotherapy, for example – they’re relying on you to be vaccinated to protect them.  Speaking about this on The Explainer, cancer researcher Dr David Robert Grimes noted that a lot of patients with cancer are “immunocompromised” – meaning their immune system “has been modulated or augmented otherwise by the medicines they’re on”.  He said there are “heartbreaking stories, particularly of paediatric cancer patients succumbing to this illness” because they were exposed to an unvaccinated measles carrier.  Some of the reluctance by parents to vaccinate their children stems from an erroneous claim that linked the MMR vaccine to autism and other conditions. This claim can be traced back to a 1998 study by former British doctor Andrew Wakefield which was later retracted and debunked.  Ward said dealing with misinformation spread by the anti-vaccine movement is a “constant battle”. Her advice in this regard is straightforward: “Don’t listen to people who are not medically qualified or don’t have a medical background.”  Pregnant women and rubella  Also on the podcast, broadcaster and former GP Dr Ciara Kelly noted that while measles is the most talked about condition the MMR vaccine protects against, it protects people against mumps and rubella as well.  She noted that rubella, also known as German measles, is “a mild childhood illness”. However, it can have very serious consequences for pregnant women.  If your six-year-old gets rubella, they’ll be fine. If they give it to a pregnant non-immune woman it is teratogenic – it damages a foetus.  Kelly said if a woman contracts rubella while pregnant, there is “a very high risk” of their baby “being born blind or deaf or with other sorts of neurological conditions”.  Mandatory vaccination  Vaccinating children against conditions such as measles is mandatory in a number of countries. During the week, Italy’s government reinstated a law banning children from attending creches and nursery schools if they have not been vaccinated.  The law makes it compulsory for children in pre-school education to be vaccinated against 10 diseases, including measles, tetanus and polio. Parents in Italy, as in a number of other countries, face fines for not vaccinating their children.  File photo Source: Shuttersotck/adriaticfoto  In a number of US states, every student entering or attending a public or private school has to be vaccinated against a range of conditions, including measles, mumps and rubella. However, there are medical, religious and personal exemptions to the law.  Some states are currently looking into getting rid of the personal exemption – California did this back in 2015 after an outbreak of measles which began at Disneyland subsequently spread to other parts of the US and Canada.  Australia is known for taking a particular tough stance in relation to non-vaccination under rules sometimes referred to as ‘no jab, no play’.  Parents face large fines and could lose up to $15,000 (over €9,000) in benefits if they don’t vaccinate their children. And schools and daycare centres face larger fines if they allow a child who isn’t vaccinated to attend.  Ward said there are “pluses and minuses” to mandatory vaccination, describing it as “a road that hasn’t been explored” in Ireland.  She said the HSE instead focuses on providing people with accurate information so they can make informed decisions about vaccinations. She added that many of the childcare facilities the HSE works with already request that children who attended their facilities are vaccinated.  Source: Shutterstock/Image Point Fr  Another issue in terms of spreading the condition is travel – both people coming into Ireland and Irish people unknowingly contracting measles while abroad and bringing it back when they come home.  Ward noted that people with measles may not display symptoms for about four days, stating: “Everyone doesn’t go around with a big, red, blotchy face.  You could be sitting in the airport and be beside someone who is coughing, they may have measles; 10 days later you have it. It’s very difficult to control.  On The Explainer, Kelly also discussed how “aggressive” measles is, noting: “We’re in major trouble because you will see it spread like wildfire and that’s the difficulty … Measles happens to be particularly contagious.”  The global picture  A Unicef report released last month noted that 98 countries around the world reported an increase in measles cases in 2018.  The World Health Organization said cases worldwide soared by nearly 50% in 2018, killing around 136,000 people. There were at least 72 measles-related deaths in Europe in 2018, up from 42 in 2017, but none in Ireland.  The countries with the highest jumps in the number of cases reported last year were Ukraine, the Philippines and Brazil.  In Ukraine, there were over 35,000 cases in 2018 – a huge jump from 4,782 in 2017. This figure could well be topped in 2019 – the Ukrainian government said over 24,000 people were infected in January and February alone. At least 30 people have died in the country from measles since 2017.  Authorities believe anti-vaccine sentiment is partly to blame as well as shortages of vaccine supplies and cuts to health services amid an economic slowdown worsened by the ongoing conflict with Russia.  In the Philippines, there were 15,600 cases last year – up from 2,400 in 2017. This year looks set to be even worse – there have been 12,700 cases and over 200 deaths to date in 2019.  The jump in cases is partially due to fewer people getting vaccinated – in general and against measles – because of a number of children experiencing severe side-effects and some reportedly dying after receiving an anti-dengue vaccine, the makers of which are now being sued by the Philippine government.  Turning to Brazil, there were more than 10,200 cases last year, but none in 2017. The vast majority of cases have been reported in Amazonas state, which borders Venezuela; and about two-thirds of the confirmed cases involve people from Venezuela – a country obviously currently going through huge upheaval.  MEASLES: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW  What are the symptoms of measles?  High fever  Cough  Runny nose  Red eyes  Red rash that starts on the head and spreads down the body – this normally starts a few days after onset of illness; the rash consists of flat red or brown blotches, which can flow into each other; it lasts about four to seven days  Vomiting, diarrhoea and tummy pain may also happen  Measles can cause chest infections, fits (seizures), ear infections, swelling of the brain and/or damage to the brain.  The Department of Health gives the following advice in relation to the MMR vaccine:  All children should get the MMR vaccine when they are aged 12 months; if any child aged over 12 months has missed this vaccine they should get it now from their GP  All children should get a second dose of MMR vaccine when they are four to five years old or in junior infants at school; if any child in senior infants or older has missed this vaccine they should get it now from their GP  Adults under 40 years who have not had measles or have not received two doses of MMR vaccine should contact their GP to get the MMR vaccine  Adults over 40 years of age may sometimes be at risk and if such adults never had measles nor a measles-containing vaccine they should consider getting the MMR vaccine from their GP  What advice does the HSE give to people who think they might have measles?",157,"ireland"

According to the latest report of the Who (world Health Organization) and the Centers for disease control (Cdc), u.s. in 2018, it is estimated 142.300 deaths and 9.769.400 cases, an increase from 2017 when the victims were 110 thousand. The most affected are children under 5 years, and the threat is stronger in Africa and in poor Countries, but the fight against the disease remains a ""global challenge"", with cases growing in the United States and in Europe. The vaccine is still not widespread, The way to defeat it permanently is there, and it's called a vaccine, but in the world there still use enough. The vaccination coverage at the global level is ""inadequate and insufficient to prevent new outbreaks,"" warns the Who. The vaccination anti-measles, is the admonition of the organization, it has not in fact yet reached an adequate level: to protect the populations from disease is required coverage of 95% with two doses of the vaccine in each Country, but appears to be still a long way to reach this goal. And if the poorest countries are the most affected, measles remains a ""challenge to the global giant"". The most affected Countries In 2018, the Countries with the highest incidence of measles were the democratic Republic of the Congo, Liberia, Madagascar, Somalia, and Ukraine, which together accounted for about half of all cases worldwide. But the situation is grave even in the United States, where the number of cases is steadily increasing, and in Europe, 4 Countries in the Eu, namely Albania, the Czech Republic, Greece and Great Britain, have lost in 2018, the status of Countries measles-free for the re-emergence of outbreaks for extended periods of time.

From the report it also emerges that, in the same time range, the number of cases of measles reported was down 59% (from 853.479 to 353.236 cases) and the incidence of measles has decreased of 66%. However, in the last two years, between 2016 and 2018, the number of reported cases and incidence of measles actually increased. According to the report, compared to 2016, the number of cases of measles has increased by 167% at the global level. What happens in Italy, The situation is under observation, also in Italy, where in 2018 have been reported 2526 cases and 8 deaths. Less so in 2017, when the registered cases were more than 5300. Almost 80% of the cases it is concentrated in Sicily, Campania, Lazio, Calabria and Lombardy, and the average age was 25 years. Almost a fifth of cases (488), however, had children under 5 years, of which 161 are under one year of life. The situation in the islands of Samoa In these days is dramatic, the situation in the islands of Samoa, in the Pacific, where the cases of measles reported in recent weeks to exceed the 4200, and there are about seventy deaths.

The serological tests carried out in a first moment were found to be positive, but it is waiting to confirm the results with the samples sent to the Institute of Health Carlos III of Madrid. Has already been discharged and there has been no infection among their contacts. The event, however, is surrounded by mystery. First, because what is reasonable would be to think about, in the event that the infection is ratified, that was an imported case, since the last infection of native data prior to 2010 in Galicia. However, in the epidemiological research carried out there is evidence that the woman has traveled to an area where the virus is present. Yes it collects a shift to Portugal, but in a time when the neighbouring country was free of the disease. And nor, at least so far, we have detected no case of secondary infection among contacts of the diseased. If there is an assumption that is imported, one would assume that a case is a native. But this option is practically ruled out because the community is free of the virus. ""Are fora as well would be contradicir all or knowledge that we do sarampelo"", warns Xurxo Hervada, deputy director xeral of Epidemioloxía and Information Systems of the Department of Health. What could happen then? There is a third option: that it is a false positive. This possibility arises in the epidemiological bulletin of the Ministry of Health. ""Non se pode discard -exposes - question dun a false-positive, because in Galicia or sarampelo is killed, and polo both, or value preditivo positivo da proba é moi baixo"".

This is recommended by the Spanish Association of Pediatrics (AEP), due to an outbreak of measles that has been given in these areas. The measles vaccine in Spain is administered to the infants at age 12 months of age and is included in the mmr, along with mumps and rubella. Francisco José Álvarez, secretary of the Advisory Committee of Vaccines of the Spanish Paediatrics Association (AEP), has recommended that all children between six months and a year traveling to the countries listed above go to your pediatrician to advance the administration of the vaccine. It is important to know that before the six months, the vaccine will not be administered. Vaccines when traveling with children The vaccine against the measles is not the only one that should be given to infants when travelling abroad. If you are traveling to countries outside of Europe, it is likely that the small have to receive other vaccines. To get out of doubts, it is advisable to go to the pediatrician a few months before the trip to determine if the baby should be vaccinated and against what diseases. Among others, there are some vaccines that are used to recommend when traveling to some countries outside of Europe. In the case of the vaccine for typhoid fever, you can not manage the child until the child is two years of age, or the hepatitis A vaccine, which can be put from the baby is a year. This last shot is required for travel to all countries that are not in the Western Europe, Japan, Korea, Australia and the united States.

The other, they know from the AsuiTs, it is instead healed after being hospitalized in the infectious Diseases department.The boy died on Sunday, he remained in the icu for over 40 days, followed daily by a team of infectious disease, haematologists, cardiochirughi, pulmonologists. All respective departments have been involved in the treatment. The cause of the hospitalisation was as a said a haematological disease, for which the young man was treated with chemotherapy, which the patient had reacted positively. But that, as confirmed by the Company, had created conditions of ""immunodepression"".

As in the case of October, will be, however, specific tests to confirm or refute the “guilt” of measles. In both cases, stresses the staff of the Company, the person is immuno-compromised: identify the cause of death is not an automatic process. The AsuiTs, however, invites us not to create needless alarm. The outbreak, ensure the vertices in health, was dammed: at the moment there have been no recorded new cases, either between health professionals or between patients. Because of the time of incubation of measles, however, only the coming weeks will give a certainty definitive about it. But it's more of a safety measure.

A measure, however, a word of caution is to know the Asuits, which, however, has created inevitably some inconvenience to the various departments involved, that they had to put a hand to the organization of shifts, because of the reduced organic. So the trieste Company does not say, but merely to let you know that today extend a press release, will give an account of the progress of the work of prophylaxis. In recent weeks, the health director Aldo Mariotto had pointed out that ""it has been immediately activated the protocol, and we have carried out the necessary controls on about 200, 250 subjects who entered in contact in the various departments with the infected persons"". The cause of the “general” at the base of the outbreak remains the threshold for the vaccination is still too low. Explained always on these columns, Riccardo Tominz, director of the department of Hygiene and public health: ""The covers will remain less than 95%, and, above all, there are many people that are not protected and in groups at risk of contracting measles severe both among those who are or may be in contact with them.

A study conducted by the National Institute of Health during the years 2015 and 2016 shows that the country has lost its herd immunity against measles. This means that not reach the rate necessary people, shielded against this disease. A setback for a State with a vaccination calendar, in which figure the mmr at 12 months and five years. ""It is a very important problem. We speak of a serious infection and work to eradicate it, because we have a vaccine is tremendously effective, but it is now burgeoning with force in certain areas of Europe, such as Portugal, France or Romania, among others. The people stop fearing what you don't see, and is not aware that measles kills and produces consequences very serious. What is essential is to avoid getting into this situation"", explains Federico Martinón Torres, chief of Pediatrics Clinic of the University Clinical Hospital of Santiago. A long time ago that the World Health Organization (WHO) warns of this rebound in european. Last march, released a document that sounded the alarm about the increase of cases mentioned by dr. Martinón. It is established that, to achieve the immunization collective in the measles, there are that, as a minimum, 95 % of the population is immunized. In Portugal, although among the more small yes that is above that rate and the average is 94.2%, among those with an age between 20 and 29 years, the percentage low to 77,9 %, which represents a decline with respect to the data that he threw the previous study, conducted with data from the years 2001 and 2002. ""The proportion in the age group of between 10 and 44 years of age has been lower than that observed in the previous study, there is no immunity in these groups,"" the study says. Graça Freitas, director-general of Health, relativizes the conclusions of this research, with the participation of 4.866 people, and believes that you should not be alarmed. Fast exposure, But what is certain is that the numbers do not invite to the peace of mind. So far this year we have registered about 18,000 cases of measles in the old continent and have died and 44 people, including a young Portuguese. ""Measles is a very contagious disease, each infected person spreads to between 15 and 18, so that it is easy to understand the rapidity of transmission of this infection in the population is not protected. Therefore, in order to control it through vaccination is necessary to have coverage very high. If these coverages fall below optimal levels, in a global world like ours, it is easy to circulate again,"" explains Martinón. Italy and France have opted for the mandatory vaccines. ""It is best to avoid getting to this situation and hence education is essential. However, in situations of population risk, when the threat affects all of us, even those who do things well, it is necessary to take measures. Italy and France have opted for the mandatory due to the serious problems we have by the fall of vaccination rates. I don't know if it will be the solution, certainly not the best thing, but in these cases are palliative measures for a situation that should have been attempted to address long before. I hope that we are not in this situation and the common sense continues to prevail in our environment,"" says Martinón. Stands out that in Spain ""we succeeded in interrupting the transmission of the disease, we have only imported cases thanks to the high level of vaccination"". What Portugal generates extra risk for the Spanish? ""The risk of Portugal is extensible only to the subjects not vaccinated or those that are not properly vaccinated, because they may suffer from the disease and its consequences, but, today, the risk of recirculation is low. However, we must not relax one iota,"" says Martinón. For him, the phenomenon antivacunas is ""worrying and growing and all expert groups, regulatory agencies, with the WHO in the head, they are concerned and taking action"". ""The key are not the corrective measures, but preventative. Only through information and education is appropriate, since the childhood, can solve this global problem.

"24315","Published by Emma Carton at 7:36am 24th September 2018. (Updated at 10:11am 24th September 2018)  Figures have revealed that more than 250 young children in Cornwall are not protected against measles.  The most recent figures show that almost 10% have not had both MMR jabs by the time they turn five.  Public Health England has issued a warning to parents, amid fears youngsters could be more at risk.  Newquay mum Andrea made sure her daughter was vaccinated after catching the virus as a child when her own mum refused it.  ""She didn't think it was the right thing to do at that particular time so she chose not have me vaccinated. ""She now things that was the wrong decision, as do I; I had my own daughter vaccinated. ""I wish I had been vaccinated because I was incredibly poorly, to a point where I remember it all these years later. ""It actually left me with some side effects for quite a while. I had reoccuring ear infections and conjunctivitus. Once the measles went I was still poorly for some time afterwards. ""Obviously it's your child so it's the most precious thing in the world, but I just remember thinking well, whatever I do I've got to do with her best interests at heart"".  What do the figures show?  The latest Public Health England figures for 2017-18 show that 91.1% of five-year-olds in Cornwall had received both MMR jabs before their fifth birthday.  This still means that 257 five-year-olds in the area are unprotected against highly-contagious measles. The target, set by the World Health Organisation, is 95% coverage.  Experts have said that the uptake of the jab across England, where 87.2% of five-year-olds have had both jabs, is ""worryingly low"".  What are the symptoms of measles?  The initial symptoms of measles develop around 10 days after you are infected.  These can include:  cold-like symptoms, such as a runny nose, sneezing and a cough  sore, red eyes that may be sensitive to light  a high temperature (fever), which may reach around 40C (104F)  small greyish-white spots on the inside of the cheeks  A few days later, a red-brown blotchy rash will appear. This usually starts on the head or upper neck before spreading outwards to the rest of the body.  big fan of this gif, which is part of @PHE_uk's making measles history campaign pic.twitter.com/MSElaLVTIr — Tim Murray (@TM_phe) September 19, 2018  What is MMR?  The MMR jab is a 3-in-1 vaccine for measles, mumps and rubella. It is given to young children in two doses - the first at 12 months, and the second around three years.  The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health and the British Society for Immunology are concerned about children getting the first jab, but not the second.  Of the 6,262 five-year-olds living in Cornwall, 6,005 had the first MMR jab, and 5,707 had both jabs.  That means that in addition to those with no protection, 298 children missed out on the second dose of MMR and will only be partially protected.  One in 10 children will not be protected against measles after the first dose alone. After the second, that falls to one in a hundred.  BSI chief executive, Dr Doug Brown, said: ""One in 10 people unprotected simply just isn't good enough"".  This year there have already been 876 confirmed cases of measles in England, more than three times the number recorded in the whole of 2017.  Although measles is now more common in teenagers and young adults, Dr Brown said that it's more important than ever to make sure young children are fully protected.  ""If we are in a position of increased outbreaks, low immunisation is even more worrying. ""Vaccination is one of the few miracles of modern medicine. It is one of the safest and most cost-effective methods we have to prevent the spread of disease"". Dr Doug Brown  The Royal College's immunisation expert, Dr David Elliman, said that a lack of awareness around the importance of getting both jabs, rather than a decision by the parents, could be causing children to miss the second dose.  ""The best solution is GPs sending regular reminders to parents, and all GPs should make sure they have an efficient reminder system in place. ""But even healthy children can get nasty measles and die from it. ""A third of measles cases will end up in the hospital"". Dr Elliman  Public Health England said that they are working closely with the NHS and general practice staff to improve uptake.  ""We are seeing small reductions in uptake for most of the childhood vaccines, which is why we continue to encourage all parents to get the best protection for their children by ensuring they are fully immunised"". Dr Michael Edelstein, Public Health England  The British Society for Immunology is calling on the Government and the NHS to conduct a review of immunisation rates, to learn from the areas that are doing well and apply that to the rest of the country.",156,"uk"

"2388","Back to normal, or a simple lull ? Two years after his return, the measles has disappeared from the radar screens, the disappearance of the outbreaks having convinced public Health France to suspend its point of situation weekly. A sense of relief. Because with more than 5,000 cases listed twenty months, with almost a third of outpatient, the alert has been hot. Tragic even for five people. And this balance could only be provisional : ""Some of the deaths are reported with a delay, says dr. Denise Antona, an epidemiologist with public Health France. We recorded 17 deaths related to the measles January 1, 2008 to June 30, 2019. But the Inserm has since reported nine other cases, which would bring to 26 the number of victims of the virus over the period."" The common point of most of them ? They were suffering at the time of the contamination an impairment of their immune system, for genetic reasons, or because of the therapeutic treatment to follow-up, after a transplant, for example. Lacking, therefore, of these antibodies, the immunization can occur naturally. ""Getting vaccinated against the measles may be considered as an altruistic gesture, insists Frances Salvadori, lecturer in immunology at the university of Burgundy and a co-author of the book Antivax (1). It is a highly contagious disease, of which the vast majority of people in good health heals. But not necessarily the most weak, infants or people with compromised immune systems. These last can only rely on the prophylaxis of their surroundings to protect them. At the national level, this would imply that 95% of the population is vaccinated."" It is not there. A virus that leaps over the borders A survey of seroprevalence carried out in 2013 by Public Health, France has established that 9% of 18-32 years of France were not immunized. A stable rate in relation to the previous study conducted three years earlier. The vaccine has been introduced in France in 1983, the older ones are just as vulnerable except to have, as a child, contracted the disease... For the younger kids on the other hand, the table cleared : 80% of children under 2 years of age have received two doses of the vaccine, guaranteeing their immunity (and 90% a dose). The vaccination requirement at 1st January 2018, as decided by the minister of Health, Agnes Buzyn, should further improve the statistics. In the meantime, globalisation, the virulence of the epidemic in France has given cold sweats to the world health Organization (WHO) to the european Commission. It is that, to the extent that it finds a fertile field, the virus readily played leap-borders : Italy (1 800 reported cases since January 1st), Poland, Romania and Bulgaria, which today are always on the alert. The disease has even returned where it was presumed to be ""eliminated"", the United Kingdom, Greece and the Czech Republic... in The first half, no less than 89 994 cases have been reported in 48 european countries, more than double that over the same period in 2018. Only the four countries that have achieved the threshold of 95% of people vaccinated against measles appear today at the shelter. Namely Hungary, Portugal, Slovakia and Sweden. ""Give a political support to the vaccination"" For the WHO as to the european Commission, it was high time to give a spotlight on the importance of vaccination. As measles is a virus, among others. Where the held this Thursday 12 September, a world summit on this topic in Brussels. ""This is to give a broad visibility and political support to the vaccination, says the european Commission. It is the measure of the most effective public health. The one that saves millions of lives each year.""

"2391","IT DECRYPTS In France, she caused thirty deaths in the last ten years. Despite a mandatory vaccine from 2018, the measles is in full resurgence in France. Asked on Europe 1, Odile Launay, infectious diseases physician and head of the centre for vaccinology Cochin-Pasteur, Paris, is concerned about the spread of the disease, difficult to be spotted, and that can lead to serious complications. How to spread measles ? Why measles is it in force in France ? First, because it is very contagious meets Odile Launay. ""Measles has always been a highly contagious disease. It is assumed that one infected person will infect the other nine"", explains Odile Launay, who states that the virus is transmitted ""by the respiratory route, such as for example on the occasion of a sneeze"". However, apart from the creation of a vaccine, advances in medicine have not yet been able to reduce the ability for the virus to spread. ""In France, since 2008, one is faced with a resurgence of measles with outbreaks,"" warns the infectiologist. ""Often, these are the cases that are imported by people who live in communities where vaccination is not sufficiently used."" ""We have a vaccine, but which is not used sufficiently, and therefore the epidemic continues to spread"", she says. In addition to its ability to spread very easily measles can also cause serious complications, even death. It is now the case in the islands of Samoa, hit by an epidemic that caused the death of 70 people. ""In the democratic Republic of the Congo, the number of measles deaths is more important than the number of deaths by Ebola,"" adds Odile Launay. What the measles can be dangerous ? According to her, the hospital admissions for cases of measles are quite common. ""In France, over the past ten years, approximately a quarter of patients had to be hospitalized because of the measles,"" said Odile Launay, who says that these severe complications has to do ""7 to 10% of measles cases"". Heard on europe1 : in the Past, it was normal to have a child who dies because of an infection So how the measles can weaken to the point the human body ? ""The complications could be neurological,"" explains Odile Launay. This is manifested by a ""central nervous system involvement with seizures, disturbances of consciousness, of the concentration"". ""It may very well keep side effects such as deafness, or disorders of intellectuals,"" notes the doctor. Complications, sometimes respiratory, can lead a patient in the icu. ""If there is a respiratory illness, it will put the patient in the icu and in certain situations, under artificial respiration"", explains Odile Launay. What are the people most susceptible to measles ? If the most fragile, such as neonates or immuno-depressive are more sensitive to complications, they are not the only ones. ""There may be complications extremely severe and even death in young adults and in good health,"" says Odile Launay. Despite all these risks, according to infectious diseases physician, the severity of this disease is not yet sufficiently rooted in the minds. This trivialization doesn't help to eradicate measles, while France is one of the five European countries with the most cases of measles. ""In the past, measles was a disease of compulsory, therefore the children would catch all when there was no vaccine. Formerly, it was normal to have a child who dies because of an infection. Today, we will not accept the deaths of children all the more when there is a vaccine"", says Odile Launay. Combined with the vaccine against mumps, and rubella, measles is mandatory in children born after 2018. Professor Odile Launay, therefore, is to reassure. ""It is a vaccine that is safe, effective and without side effects"", she says.",155,"france"

"6058","Photo: KATERYNA KON / SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRA / KKO / SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY Illustration of the computer of a particular measles virus, One of the protagonists of the past year was the measles. Romania and Italy, the countries of the European Union with the largest number of cases, which in our country were four times more than the previous year. But the virus has been circulating in the whole of Europe. This surge of new cases has been one of the reasons that have accelerated the approval of the law on the obligatory nature of childhood vaccinations. And the positive effects are seen: more than 30,000 children have not been vaccinated were ""recovered"" and so, also, the participation was massive with very, very few cases of resistance on the part of the parents. This tells us that the problem was not so much the movement, no-vax, very active and noisy, but numerically reduced. The problem was more of a carelessness on the part of many families, or simply the feeling that the vaccinations were no longer necessary, given that the diseases have almost disappeared (but I am, thanks to vaccination continues, of course). It is clear, then, that one of the main problems was (and still is) the communication of a capillary and punctual to the population, hand in hand with the continuous training of health personnel on the subject of vaccinations. These are the pillars on which you must build the basis for a conscious choice on the part of families, who have the right to be informed and to understand why vaccinating their children is a right and an obligation at the same time. But, above all, an opportunity to protect them and society from disease. This year it seems that things did not go better. In the first two months of 2018, in Italy you are registered already more than 400 cases of measles with 4 deaths. Why? The vaccine then it's not working? On the contrary, we simply delayed. The average age of infected people is 25 years, with 80% concentrated in the 15-64 but with tails that range from 2 to 79 years. The vaccine in Italy is available from the mid-70s, but still in 1993, the national coverage in children was only 50%. This means that all those over 40, and many of the young people in their twenties who have not had measles and have not been vaccinated are exposed to the risk of infection. In fact, 91% of the cases of 2018 was not vaccinated. To protect them the only way is to vaccinate the population more susceptible (children) in order to limit the spread of the virus. But also the vaccination to adults it is best if you never contract the virus. Measles causes serious complications: in 15% of cases of 2018 have had pneumonia or respiratory failure. Two of the adults (not vaccinated) died, had 39 and 41 years and died of severe respiratory insufficiency. The safety threshold is to vaccinate 95% of the child population (remember, the vaccine should be done in two doses, 1 year and 6 years). In some regions, thanks to the new law, we are very close to or have achieved the result. But until last year, and for the last ten years at least, we were very below: between 80% and 85%. The measles virus is one of the most infectious: at least four times more than the influence. An outbreak can become an epidemic in a few weeks if there is a number of people likely to be sufficient. When measles gets into a population that has never met has devastating effects: in the mid dell'800, its arrival in some of the islands of the pacific has cut off a third of the population. And in Italy, thanks to the low immunization coverage and the fact that many adults are not immune, the virus continues to circulate. Be careful, though: in the pre-vaccine cases were in the order of 25-75.000 a year. In the last ten years we consider exceptional (and alarming) 4-5.00 cases. So the vaccination does work, but to declare the free Italy from measles it will take years, and it is required that the threshold of 95% is reached and maintained stably. For this it is important to continue to talk about measles (and vaccinations). If you have corrections, suggestions or comments, write to dir@agi.it",155,"italy"

"2407","Since 1 January 2019, 244 cases of measles have been reported in France. It can be estimated that there were more, because although the disease is notifiable, it is not made in a systematic manner (except in the case of complications and hospitalization) and, in 91 % of these reported cases, the subjects were not, or poorly, vaccinated. Measles is one of those diseases that we would sometimes tend to be considered as part of the childhood landscape, a little like rubella or roseola, while the measles is a very contagious disease which may, in some cases, become very serious and even cause death, although the risk of complications is less important in countries with a high standard of living such as France than in poorer countries such as in Africa. France is not the only country to have seen an increase in cases of measles, in recent times. This upsurge is affecting multiple countries in Europe and in the world, and the health authorities attribute this phenomenon to a decrease of the immunization coverage. Although this vaccination is compulsory, we must ask ourselves about the reasons for this disaffection of the French, for vaccination against measles in particular, and against vaccinations in general. The opponents of vaccination to evoke two main reasons to justify their attitude : – the first is that the vaccination requirement and is an infringement on the free choice of the individual. Argument that we can admit when the non-vaccination does run the risk that the person who refuses (as is the refusal of the safety belt does run the risk that the one who does the loop not), but this argument is more difficult to defend when it comes to contagious diseases, because the non-vaccination of an individual is a risk to his entourage. – the second reason given by the opponents of vaccination is the presence, in nearly all vaccines, adjuvants, such as aluminum, whose safety has not been proven. Finally, the vaccine schedule, latest version, more dictated by reasons of medico-social that really medical, which requires practice 11 vaccinations in the infant during the first year, is difficult to admit by the parents. As the presence of aluminum, as an adjuvant, appears to be the main cause of distrust vis-a-vis vaccines, why don't we asked the industry to abandon this adjuvant suspected of inducing long-term health conditions ? Technically, it's feasible for most vaccines and this would help restore confidence. But, alas, as in other areas of life, we prefer to force the population to submit, rather than seeking to change industrial practices to silence these fears and find a consensus acceptable to all. Experience shows that this attitude is not only unfortunate in terms of ethics, but counter-productive in terms of efficiency in the fight against all these diseases that the vaccination would prevent. Our health officials should meditate on this failure.",155,"france"

The attitude of the individual Federal States to Spahns thrust is different: While from Bavaria, Rhineland-Palatinate and Hesse, sceptical voices come from the majority of countries for an obligation, including Schleswig-Holstein. The recent measles outbreak in the state of Schleswig-Holstein, show how important it is that people are vaccinated and the existing gaps be closed, said health Minister Heiner Garg ( FDP). Diseases that were considered eradicated, appear to be increasing and are, therefore, one of the largest health risks, he said, with reference to the world health organization ( WHO). With regard to measles must now examine the Federal government, how people can be better protected. Garg said: ""With a vaccination to protect not only themselves but also other people and in particular those who can not be vaccinated."" The Kiel health Minister Heiner Garg (FDP) is for the vaccination. Source: Carsten Rehder/dpa nursery-children need special protection For children in day-care facilities is the measles protection is particularly relevant, as a small request of the FDP in the schleswig-Holstein Landtag. There is a close contact among the children, but also with the educators, the benefit of a spread of infectious diseases there. To prevent this, parents who want to send their children to a daycare center can, since 2001, a vaccination advice from a pediatrician demonstrate. That includes, but is not a requirement for vaccination. Whether a child is vaccinated or not is the decision of the parents. ""It is very good of course, value if you decide to do this,"" says Sybille Geyer, head of the integrative day-care centre ""work and family"" in Lübeck. Vulture sees the danger to other children in the institution, if a child is not vaccinated: ""And then the voluntary decision is more difficult."" Ultimately it is a matter of policy, to decide on a vaccination. Medical Association looks at the practical problems of the professional Association of child and youth doctors in Germany, is in favour of the measles vaccination. However, this is likely to be not easy to implement for practical reasons. Across the Board, especially the combination vaccine for measles, Mumps and rubella will be made, but no vaccine alone against measles in sufficient quantity, explained Sebastian Groth. He is the speaker of the state Association, and a children's doctor. In addition, it is unclear how the duty is implemented and, where appropriate, in contempt sanction should be. Personally, Groth considers that it is more effective to focus on the education of the parents and those in the decision-making process. Coverage does not eliminate still high enough To make measles as a disease, it is recommended that the WHO, 95 percent of children have received at the age of 15 months, the first Dose of the vaccine already. In addition, to be achieved in the case of children of primary-education enrolment age is also Coverage of 95 percent, in order to maintain protection. In the last few years have increased the vaccination rates in the state of Schleswig-Holstein, but they are still below the WHO-specified value: in 2014, the Coverage of the first measles vaccine was 91.6 percent in Schleswig-Holstein. At the time of Enrolment, only 93.6 per cent of children had received both vaccinations (as of 2016). Annabell Brockhues",154,"germany"

"6042","In the last decade, there has emerged evidence that the measles vaccine protects not in one but in two ways: not only prevents the well-known acute disease with spots and fever that often sends children in the hospital, but it seems to also protect you from other infections in the long term. How does it work? Some researchers have suggested that the vaccine gives a general thrust to the immune system. In the report of October 31, published in Science, researchers demonstrate that the measles virus delete from 11 to 73% of the different antibodies that protect against viral strains and bacterial from which a person was previously immune: everything, from the influence of the herpesvirus to the bacteria that cause pneumonia and infections of the skin. Michael Mina is the first author of the study, post-doctoral researcher in the laboratory of Stephen Elledge at the Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women's Hospital at the time of the study, now an assistant Professor of epidemiology at the Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health. The study is the first to measure the harm the immune caused by the virus, and stresses the value of prevention of infection from measles through vaccination. “The threat that measles poses to people is greater than we previously imagined,” said senior author Stephen Elledge, Professor of genetics and medicine at the Institute Blavatnik Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women's Hospital. The discovery that the measles is enough to exhaust the repertoire of antibodies of the people, by erasing partially the immune memory of the pathogen was previously encountered, supports the hypothesis of amnesia immune. “This is the best proof of the existence of an amnesia immune that affects our immune memory long-term,” added Mina, who for the first time he discovered the effects of epidemiological measles on child mortality in the long term in a document of 2015. The current team's work was published at the same time an article by a team separate Science Immunology that has reached conclusions complementary by measuring the changes in B-cells caused by the measles virus. An editorial accompanying in Science in Immunology, written by Duane Wesemann, assistant Professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School at Brigham and Women's Hospital, contextualises this study. Elledge, Mina and colleagues have discovered that those who survive measles regain gradually to their previous immunity to other viruses and bacteria, when they are again exposed to them. But since this process can take months or years, the people remain vulnerable in the meantime to serious complications of such infections. In the light of this discovery, the researchers say that doctors might want to consider strengthening the immunity of patients who are recovering from the infection of measles with a series of recall of all the previous vaccines routine, such as hepatitis and polio. “The re-vaccination after measles could help mitigate the suffering in the long term, which could arise from amnesia immune responses and increased susceptibility to other infections,” say the authors. One of the most contagious diseases known to humanity, measles killed an average of 2.6 million people every year before that had developed a vaccine, according to the world health Organization. The vaccination is widespread, has reduced the budget of the victims. “However, the lack of access to vaccination, and the refusal to be vaccinated means that the measles still infects more than 7 million people and kills over 100,000 each year throughout the world,” reports the WHO, “and the cases are on the rise, tripling to the beginning of 2019”. About 20 percent of the people in the United States who are infected with measles require hospitalization, according to the CDC, and some experience consequences that are well known in the long term, including damage to the brain, vision and hearing loss. Previous epidemiological research on amnesia immune responses suggest that the rates of mortality attributed to measles might be even higher",154,"italy"
"13011","In the first half of 2019, the WHO has recorded 89.994 cases of measles with 48 countries in europe. This is more than double that of the same period of the previous year (44.175), and most of that is in the year 2018 (84.462). ""The return of the transmission of measles, it is a matter of major concern if we are unable to establish and maintain high coverage of immunization in the community, both young and old, will have needless suffering, and some of you will be doomed to a tragic death,"" said Günter Pfaff, chair of the Regional Committee, for the purposes of Verifying the Elimination of Measles and Rubella. The latest figures bring to the health sector point to the fact that the disease is no longer considered to be ""eliminated"" in the United Kingdom, germany, Greece, the Czech Republic, and Albania. The World Health Organization in the state of ""deleting"" it is the absence of continuous transmission for 12 months in one specific geographic area. In the United Kingdom have been reported 953 cases in the year 2018 (489 from January 01, 2019), as 2.193 have been reported in Germany (28), 1.466, in Albania (475), and 217 in the Czech Republic (569). ""Each and every one of these countries, it is an example of national coverage of immunization is extremely high, so there are examples of countries with systems that are particularly weak (in health),"" said Kate O'brien, the director of the department of immunization of the world health organization. Which leads her to add: ""I don't Think that this is a warning to the world: it is not enough to achieve high coverage, it should be done in all of the communities and families."" Measles is Extremely infectious and it can lead to serious complications, sometimes fatal (37 in Europe in the first half of this year, and to 74 by 2018) measles is generally spread by direct contact or through the air to infect the respiratory tract, spreading through the body. In Europe, the majority of infected people have at least 19 years of age (60% of the cases). In the first half of 2019, as much as 78% of the cases have been reported in four outbreaks of infection: Kazakhstan, Georgia, Russia, and Ukraine, which account for 60% of the time. Measles is considered eliminated in 35 of the 53 countries in the region. They were 37 countries in this ranking in the fall of 2017. It is a disease that is endemic in 12 countries, including France and Germany, where vaccination is expected to become mandatory as of march of the year 2020. A good student, Austria, and Switzerland, have achieved the status of ""the erased"" after the show, the interruption of ongoing transmission for at least 36 months. There is no cure for measles, but the disease can be prevented with two doses of the vaccine, according to the world health organization it is estimated that more than 20 million deaths are prevented worldwide between 2000 and 2016, thanks to the vaccine. All in all, the number of reported cases has tripled in the period between 1 January and 31 July 2018 at the latest (129.239), and in the first seven months of this year 364.808). The most numerous were registered in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Madagascar, and Ukraine. The United States has had the highest number of reported cases of measles in the last 25 years. The WHO estimates that less than one out of every 10 cases are reported all over the world, which means that the scale of the epidemic is much higher than the official statistics indicate. A specialized agency of the UN, it is estimated that, in fact, occur in some of the 6.7 million deaths per year are related to the measles, "" said O'brien. Measles is on the rise again all over the world because of poor access to health care and distrust of the vaccine. By 2016, however, it was in decline.

"1457","Measles are taken hostage in the battles relating to vaccination. Argues the possible complicated consequences of measles as well as lifetime immunity after their going through with. Are measles the evil that must be combated by vaccination? In the analysis of the impact of measles on the contemporary Czech society it is necessary to come out of several contexts, among which undoubtedly include: the development of spalničkové the situation in terms of morbidity and mortality in the Czech (or czechoslovak) population throughout history, the real risks and benefits of going through with the measles, the effectiveness of vaccination and its share in reducing the morbidity (or mortality) measles. The partial conclusions drawn from these criteria, we can illuminate the overall impact of measles on contemporary society in relation to issues of her health. They can provide us with answers to questions such as: Is it necessary to vaccinate against measles every small child? Is going through with measles advantageous? What kind of effects it can have for individuals and society? It is reasonable to ask these questions, because their answer may have on the individual and society impacts not only health, but also economic or sociological. Morbidity and mortality of measles throughout history IN the CZECH republic, vaccination against measles was introduced in 1969. Consider this year for border, which divides the history (from the point of view of the CZECH republic) for a period before vaccination and after. One would expect that a blanket vaccination was introduced, because it was necessary to immediately deal with the extension of measles in the population. It is actually so but it was? We know (see the literature [1]), that already around the year 1954, therefore, the full 15 years (!!!) before the introduction of widespread vaccination, began rapidly to decline the mortality rate for measles, and across almost all rovinutějšími countries on the entire globe, including the CZECH republic, England, or Australia. Vaccination against measles, therefore, clearly was not fully implemented due to the reduction in mortality from measles and not to its reduction did not significantly did not participate. On the other hand, graphs (see [1], from page 15) shows (in particular the graph of the incidence of measles in England), that the vaccination may contribute to reducing the incidence of measles. We see that roughly 5-15 years from the end of the 2. world war gradually occurs to reduce mortality and occur in a large percentage of infectious diseases, independently of the deployment of widespread vaccination, which was in many cases referred to in life about ten years later. It is seen in mortality from whooping cough. Should also add that, for example, tetanus vaccine (as is generally knows) are among the nejpovedenější and really objectively positively contributed to the drastic reduction in the incidence of tetanus in the population of the developed countries of the world. However, if we stick with the measles, then is the real benefit of the vaccination is highly questionable. It cannot be reliably argued that vaccination contributed to the solution to the problem of measles, but equally so you cannot reliably claim that this was not the case. An epidemic of measles - Bulgaria let's Look at the measles epidemic in Bulgaria (2009-2010), which summarizes the document [5]. It turns out that the epidemic was conceived so that a patient 0 became ill probably in Germany, where labor was stalling. Subsequently, after his arrival in the country the illness of his family. It was in march 2009. By the end of the year ill 2 249 people, of which 7 died (i.e. the probability of death was 0.3%). The epidemic continued, and in 2010 was reported for 22 005 patients with measles, including 17 deaths. It turned out that almost 90% of all patients were Roma, who mostly live in considerably poor conditions of hygiene, which is a substantial contribution to the outbreak of the epidemic. Another factor supporting the growth of the epidemic was the fact that these residents often congregate in large numbers on small areas, which is combined with a poor hygiene problem. It can be assumed that in compliance with the standard hygiene habit would be to such a large epidemic has not occurred. It is also here nice to see that despite the ""blanket"" vaccination to epidemic just occurred. Inoculations for measles may not be effective. Much more pays to conduct secondary prevention and address the causes of the (living conditions of the Roma, hygiene, crowding in the ghettos). The very ""vaccination coverage"" of us, will never save and nespasila. Vaccination coverage because he is not saying anything about the number of people immune to a given disease in the population. Measles epidemic in France During the years 2008-2011 (see document [3]) occurred in France to an epidemic of measles, when there were more than 20 000 are infected, although before the epidemic it seemed that the measles are in France almost eradicated. During the epidemic killed 10 people. Of these 10 people was now 7 victims of immunodeficient, which was inter alia due to Crohn's disease, HIV, Hodgkin's lymphoma or immunosuppressive therapy. In other words, most of the dead were people who had compromised immunity and belong to the risk groups, which in the context of prevention must be approached differently than the standard population. 80% of those infected were not vaccinated. The Report says that although the vaccination coverage (rather than the collective immunity!!) for smaller children better, so the problem is mainly the younger adult generation, i.e., those for which decreased levels of substances in the body. In the south of France is generally found a larger percentage of the unvaccinated (more immigrants, migrants, beach resorts). The epidemic consisted of three waves. It is interesting that the first two waves of neudeřily predominantly in the south of France, then where would it's to be expected. When the third wave struck the biggest force in southeast France, and it was identified that the third wave of the epidemic is partly responsible genotype of measles G3, which occurred also in other european countries. This genotype has been to Europe probably introduced some ""tourist"" from southeast Asia. Therefore, it seems reasonable to carry out a higher rate of prevention with persons on the european territory comes from the risk areas, appropriate would be, for example, mandatory vaccination of certain risk groups of african or asian tourists. In the account could come in and input the quarantine of these incoming people. Someone this measure may seem like discrimination, but ""my region, my tradition"". It is better to temporarily monitor a couple of risky aliens, than then to fight with the ""epidemic"" (I don't think that a few thousand infected there is no epidemic) of the disease (like measles) and after losing the battle žehrat on the irresponsible population, podočkovanost and carry out vaccination pogroms. It is necessary to focus on the critical factors of these epidemics, which often stems out of Europe. The risks and benefits of going through with measles Undoubted advantage of going through with the measles, is getting the lifetime and innate immunity. ""The graduate"" measles is endowed with a lifetime protection against measles and his immunity will gain valuable training. Previously, measles was considered a natural and classic children's disease and actually expected, that it will suffer a víceménně each child. If the household is burdened with poor sanitation, or is not able to properly handle the accompanying phenomena of measles, then it can be a problem. However, if properly and judiciously srážena increased temperature, then can be prevented, for example, febrile convulsions, which belongs to complications of measles, which mainly affects young children. Often the temperature of a child precipitates aggressively and too soon. Just it can to febrile convulsions lead. Measles can also cause other more serious problems. For example, SSPE, and that with a delay of 5-10 years after the measles. This disease may affect up to 1 child out of 10 000 children that measles will suffer, as stated in the article [6]. However, vaccination does not remain, as far as possible side effects, behind. Sense vaccination Experts toll discussion on the topic of vaccination often that we need ""the collective immunity"". Collective immunity is a giant myth. She actually kind of not-quite-there. There is some absolutely false and baseless thesis that the vaccination coverage in some mysterious way create this ""collective"" immunity. Proočkováno is to say that 90% of children at some percent of these children at all is not the reaction of the immune system on the spalničkové vaccination. This is not backward in those of the vaccinated control. The state machine then seeded about one hundred and six, but even it does not perform any control on the output, which is somewhat comical. This is a similar approach, as if the chef cooked up thousands of gallons of soup and even tasted. He knows that right now in a few percent of vaccinated children is vaccination after a couple of months neučinné. In addition, antibodies are falling, and the 15-year-olds is the percentage of unprotected individuals is much higher. Vaccination no way does not provide lifelong immunity. In this the natural going through with measles touches, so to speak, even around the ankles. One who is considering vaccination, must also take into account the situation in the family and your own medical history, because it for You nowadays the vast majority of doctors won't do and with the statement ""it has nothing to do with"", ""that the vaccination has no effect"" or ""just get seeded and that's it"" you often will. If you suffer from you not the other parent of the child any severe allergies or have a diagnosed autoimmune disease, then it is very important to no-vaccination to consider. For example, children RS parents have a 5% higher chance that RS also get, than other children. And it is shown that the vaccination may increase the likelihood of the outbreak of autoimmune diseases, although in itself is not the source of their inspiration. Is it necessary to vaccinate against measles every small child? In short, I think not. Collective immunity is not všespásná. It turns out that the epidemic mostly been in places where there is a reduced hygienic standard combined with a high concentration of population in a small area. There is a need to preemptively start. Is going through with measles advantageous? What (d)effects it can have for individuals and society? Going through with measles may indeed be advantageous. Naturally acquired immunity is much longer lasting than immunity artificially created. Vaccination side-effects, which are unquestionable, perhaps they can balance the risks of measles, which by far are not so terrible as in the times of wars and bad hygiene.

"2387","Measles is an infectious disease in a strong resurgence in france since the end of 2017, affecting the majority of people not or poorly vaccinated. Five things to know about this disease characterized by eruption of red spots on the skin and that, before the arrival of the vaccines in the 1970s, was a dreaded killer of children (7 to 8 million deaths estimated by year in the world). - A highly contagious disease, measles is caused by a virus that spreads very easily by direct contact or through the air. It is estimated that a patient can infect 15 to 20 people. After a phase of incubation silent, the disease is characterized by a high fever, runny nose, cough, watery eyes... In a second time, will appear red spots, which give its name to the disease. - Potentially severe Complications of measles is dangerous for the complications that it may cause. Most of the deaths are due to secondary infection of the lung severe type of pneumonia. Other possible complications are : the involvement of the nervous system (encephalitis) which can cause serious consequences or even be life-threatening, involvement of the eyes (conjunctivitis, keratitis) which can lead to blindness, inflammation of the ears (ear infections) or dehydration associated with severe diarrhea. There is no specific antiviral treatment and the care of the patient endeavours to treat complications. - Preventive Vaccination is The only effective way to protect against measles is vaccination a preventive. This vaccine has existed since 1968. In France, it has been included in the immunization schedule in 1983. It is generally available in the form of the combined vaccine MMR which also protects against mumps and rubella. Whereas it was formerly highly recommended, but not mandatory, the MMR vaccine became mandatory for all children born after January 1, 2018, with a dose at 12 months and a second between 16 and 18 months. - Too low immunization coverage immunization coverage refers to the proportion of people in the general population, are effectively immunized against a disease. More this rate is high, the more difficult it is for an infection to spread. For measles, the coverage in France is 79%. There should be a rate of 95% for the collective protection against this highly contagious virus to be truly effective. Studies show that people born in the 80s are too weakly immunized against measles : it was a time where vaccination was gradually introduced, and where the virus was circulating less. Suddenly, many among this generation have never developed antibodies against the disease. - Fears of a new outbreak After a decline between 2012 and 2016, the number of measles cases in France has started to rise again in November 2017, raising fears of an epidemic, such as those observed in Europe in 2017, and in France from 2008 to 2012. To June 24, 2018, 2 567 cases were reported since 6 November, according to the French health authorities, of which 22% resulted in hospitalization. 84 departments reported at least 1 case, the most affected being the Gironde (24%), Vienna (8%) and the Gard (6%). Children under 1 year of age are the most affected by the disease, but the last known victim was 26 years old, immunosuppressed, and probably contaminated by a near non-vaccinated.

Boris Johnson is calling for health leaders to renew their efforts to ensure 95 per cent of the population have had both doses of the MMR vaccine.  Currently only 87.2 per cent of children have the second dose of the vaccination, down from a high of 88.6 per cent in 2014-15, which is thought to be partly behind the spread of measles.  The Prime Minister will set out the plans to improve vaccination rates - including for the measles, mumps and rubella jab (MMR) - on a visit to a hospital in the South West on Monday.  There were 231 confirmed cases of measles in the UK during the first quarter of 2019, and Britain has lost its ""measles-free"" status with the World Health Organisation three years after the virus was eliminated in the country.  Ahead of the visit, Mr Johnson said: ""After a period of progress where we were once able to declare Britain measles free, we've now seen hundreds of cases of measles in the UK this year.  ""One case of this horrible disease is too many, and I am determined to step up our efforts to tackle its spread.  ""This is a global challenge and there's a number of reasons why people don't get themselves or their children the vaccines they need, but we need decisive action across our health service and society to make sure communities are properly immunised.  ""From reassuring parents about the safety of vaccines, to making sure people are attending follow-up appointments, we can and must do more to halt the spread of infectious, treatable diseases in modern-day Britain.""  Health Secretary Matt Hancock added: ""It's easy to forget how devastating measles can be, precisely because vaccines are so effective at preventing it in the first place.  ""With this strategy, the whole health system will come together to renew focus on vaccinations, especially for our children, and this time we will eliminate measles for good.""  NHS England is set to write to GPs urging them to promote ""catch-up"" vaccination programmes, while the Government will also seek to update the advice on the NHS's website to address misleading information about the dangers of vaccines.  Social media companies will also be called to a summit to discuss how they can promote accurate information about vaccination.  The Department for Health and Social Care will also deliver a strategy to address the issue in the autumn, in which the NHS is expected to be asked to use technology to identify who may have missed a vaccination and make booking appointments easier.  Dr Mary Ramsay, head of immunisation at Public Health England, said: ""Losing our measles-free status is a stark reminder of how important it is that every eligible person gets vaccinated.  ""Elimination can only be sustained by maintaining and improving coverage of the MMR vaccine.  ""Measles is one of the most infectious diseases known to man - only one person travelling back to an area with lower vaccination rates can lead to an outbreak.  ""Anyone who has not received two doses of MMR vaccine is always at risk.  ""Making it as easy as possible for parents to access vaccines so that they can offer their children the best possible start in life is a priority for us, DHSC and for NHS England.  ""Through our Value of Vaccines campaign we'll be using all opportunities to remind people to get two doses of MMR vaccine - whether that's new parents, school children or younger adults.  ""This will be crucial to the UK achieving elimination status again in future.""  Professor Stephen Powis, NHS England's medical director, said: ""People not getting the vaccines they need is leading to a killer disease like measles unnecessarily becoming a health risk for our country again, with the number of cases almost quadrupling in just one year.  ""The NHS and the Government are right to take action to boost vaccination rates - vaccine rejection and falling uptake is a preventable public health risk and it is vital that people get themselves and their children vaccinated.""",151,"uk"

The vaccination will be given beginning at the age of 14 months. For that, you have babies away from coughing and sneezing people. Why is it so important to you that 95 percent of late in russia? If the vaccination rate is above 95%, then there is the issue of groepsbescherming. There is no major disease outbreak, such as in a number of European countries are, however, rare. On up to 95 percent of vaccinated people there are a lot of people will be protected and that an outbreak of the virus is extinguished,’ explains the specialist, infectious disease control is off. That's not to say that there is no infection can take place. Also, there are small outbreaks may be people who are not protected.’ Where there is little vaccination, and why? In the Netherlands, several groups, with objections to vaccination. The lowest coverage rates are found in communities where many people are living with religious objections to vaccination, this is an area that is well known in the Biblebelt is being referred to. In addition, there are some people who are, from an anthroposophical belief, the vaccination will want to tune in to the development of their child. Finally, there are some people who are critical because of the potential for side effects. However, the vast majority (94 per cent) of the members in the 2013-2014 center was established, had not been vaccinated. Mostly due to religious reasons (84 percent), a smaller part, was critical of the vaccinations (7 per cent).

The administration of immune globulin c. What is the immunity of the group. The dangers of the epidemic of measles Measles, also known as the out over in English, it is not synonymous with measles. Rubella commonly known as german measles, measles, 3-day, or measles, is caused by the rubella virus and it is usually a disease with the manifestations of the mild, sometimes asymptomatic, which does not present a risk to the long-term complications (with the exception of the condition that affects women who are pregnant, since it has a teratogenic effect causing birth defects, high risk, in particular, in the first few weeks of the pregnancy). Measles, however, can be particularly dangerous in the case of children younger than 5 years of age, and for adults over the age of 20 years. Often, it leads to severe complications, such as infections of the lung, lower infections, in the brain, or secondary bacterial infections. Measles occurs in people who have never been immunised or those that have not had never suffered from this condition. After you have a baby or an adult is infected with the measles virus in the body, it forms immunity is strong against to infection. That is precisely why recurrences of measles are extremely rare. The onset of immunity can be achieved by vaccination. Measles, one of the so-called diseases of childhood, is caused by the measles virus and has a high incidence especially in the age group of 2 to 9 years of age. Very common in the past, chicken pox can be prevented in almost 100% of the time, with the help of a vaccine. More specifically, the effectiveness of vaccination is approximately 93%, in the case of a single-dose, and approximately 97% in the case of the administration of the second dose. However, the country is faced with a new epidemic of measles, according to the latest estimates made by the authority at the beginning of the month of July, 2017. At the global level, even though the death rate has been greatly reduced in the aftermath of vaccination campaigns, the disease still kills 100,000 people a year, most of them younger than 5 years of age, according to data cited by the Mayo Clinic. From a clinical point of view, the infection is manifested in three stages in time-lapse, with symptoms that follow each other over a period of two to three weeks, the incubation Period - asymptomatic from the clinical point of view, and that takes time, according to the Mayo Clinic, 10 to 14 days after exposure to the virus, which causes chicken pox. In the wake of the clinical studies carried out on large groups of people infected with the measles virus, scientists have determined that the fire cause of many complications, mainly in children under the age of 5, adults over the age of 20 years old, pregnant women, and people with an impaired immune system, lost or corrupted in any way, the people who are suffering from malnutrition, and those showing deficiencies of vitamin a, Measles is a disease which has no specific treatment, only symptomatic. It may, however, be taken of some of the measures are urgent in the case of the vulnerable individuals who have been exposed to the virus, according to the Mayo Clinic: Vaccination, post-exposure - those who are not immunized against measles, including children, who have been exposed to the virus, may be immunized by the emergency in the first 72 hours of the exposure, for the protection against the disease. If infection occurs, however, the disease typically has no symptoms less severe and heal more quickly. The prevention of the disease of measles is mostly done by the recommended by the vaccine, the MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella). The trivaccin shall be given to the children of Romania, upon the recommendation of the Ministry of Health, the second dose at 1 to 7 years of age. This shot can only be done when needed, and early, between 6 and 12 months, in the event of an outbreak of the measles, or when the children are forced to travel with her parents in the areas of risk. In this case, the children will not be vaccinated again at the 1 and 7 years of age. The MMR vaccine has a very high efficiency of about 93% in the case of a single-dose, and approximately 97% in the case of the administration of the second dose. Immunoglobulins - also known as gammaglobulins or the globulins of immune serum are obtained in the laboratory and in the blood plasma of the human. This plasma is obtained from blood donors, contains antibodies, are meant to protect us against pathogens. Thus, the injection of immunoglobulins help the body with immune system weak to fight against the disease. The doctors can't get it in the laboratory, specific types of immunoglobulins, in order to protect you and to help your immune system to fight against diseases such as hepatitis, chicken pox, or the measles, you know. The injection of immune globulin may shorten the illness, relieve symptoms or even prevent the disease, as a vulnerable young person has been exposed to the virus, which causes chicken pox. Doctors recommend the vaccination to protect themselves, but also in order to protect the population of vulnerable persons who cannot be vaccinated (e.g., children who suffer from leukemia), and which is exposed to the virus are at risk of serious complications, which may even lead to death. Therefore, the immunization of the collective, or the vaccination of the community - help make this a chain of infectarilor with the virus of measles is broken. Vaccination it is the responsibility of the entire community, and it is in this context that, for each vaccine administered at the time and it may even, indirectly, save people's lives. The doctors explained to us the simple dangers of the nevaccinarii: if the percentage of the population is immunized falls on a community, the disease is spreading fast. Measles is one of the most contagious animal diseases, the risk of triggering an outbreak increase with each dose of the vaccine, which remains the neadministrata.

The ministry of Solidarity and the Health and public Health France have made it the slogan of the campaign ""The best protection is the vaccination.In Centre-Val de Loire, this week is an opportunity to draw a balance sheet for the children who have had 7 months since the 1st January 2018. We observe an important increase in vaccination coverage for 11 vaccinations. The vaccination coverage of newborns is progressing and with it, the awareness of the parents on the benefits of vaccines.The need to reduce infectious disease has led the government to extend the requirement of immunization in children under 2 years of age. For infants born on or after January 1, 2018, the vaccinations against diphtheria, tetanus, polio, pertussis, haemophilus influenzae b, hepatitis B, meningococcal C, pneumococcal, measles, mumps, and rubella are mandatory before the age of 2 years.Public health France compared the covers of vaccine at 7 months of age of infants born between January and may 2018, with those infants born between January and may 2017, for vaccinations against pertussis, haemophilus influenzae type b, hepatitis B, pneumococcal and meningococcal C. The vaccination coverage against these infectious diseases has seen a marked improvement in the region with : increase of 36.7 points of immunization coverage of the 1st dose of the vaccine against meningococcus C. It is dropped from 41% in 2017 to 77.8 % 2018. This improvement in vaccination coverage observed in all regions, has very likely contributed to the decrease (in infants aged less than one year) of the national incidence of invasive infections due to this germ.We note an increase of 3.5 percentage points for the hexavalent vaccine (diphtheria, tetanus, polio, pertussis, hepatitis B and Haemophilus influenzae type b).The percentage of use increased from 95.6 percent in 2017 to 99.1 % in 2018. 1.2 immunization coverage of the 1st dose of pneumococcal vaccine. It has increased from 98.5 % in 2017 to 99.7 % in 2018.Coverings of vaccine will also improve in children born before the entry into application of the law. The first dose of the vaccine HPV among young girls of 15 years old born in 2003 is 32.6 %, whereas it was 29.2 % among girls born in the previous year ( 3.4 percentage points).The vaccination requirement is mainly well accepted by the parents of children born in 2017 and 2018, with two-thirds of them (67 %) claim to be in favor.This year, the measles has made havoc at the global level. In France, there were 710 cases and 35 in the Centre-Val de Loire. The department most affected is that of the Indre-and-Loire, with 27 cases. Measles is a highly contagious disease and serious : 31 % of the patients have been hospitalized, some with serious complications-such as pneumonia, for example.To prevent the spread of measles, it would require that 96 % of the population is vaccinated. In our country, the population is immunized to 80 %. In the Indre-et-Loire, this figure reaches only 76 %. For the government, this is not enough. The Regional Agency of Health (ARS) establishes a direct link between lack of measles vaccination and the epidemic itself. Because measles is due to a human virus (it is only transmitted human-to-human), which implies that if the virus is circulating, this means that the people are not protected, and therefore not vaccinated.On the occasion of the European Immunization Week, the ARS meet you at the population of the Village Info-Vaccination.

The rapid increase in the number of cases observed in recent weeks, fears of a national epidemic of magnitude."" The departments of Gard? (94 cases), the Haute-Garonne (79) and Aveyron (26) are the most affected. According to the LRA, the people most affected by the disease are the more than 20 years (29 %), children aged 1 to 4 years of age (20 %) and those aged 10 to 14 years (17 %). ""Only the symptoms can be treated, to protect themselves and the other, only one protection : the vaccination"", recalls the ARS who insists, ""a sick person can infect up to 20 people"". More than 300 hospitalizations identified Often mistakenly regarded as benign, ""measles is not a childhood disease, it also applies to teenagers and young adults and may cause serious complications (pneumonia, encephalitis,...), and sometimes hospitalization and even death, recalls the ARS. 1527 cases of measles have been identified in France since the beginning of the year 2018 and 1605 from the November 6, announced Public Health France on 11 April. Since November 2017, 327 persons were hospitalized : 138 had a severe form of measles, and 16 were transported to the icu. Nothing in 2018, and 19 hospitalizations were recorded, of which 14 were for forms of measles complicated. On the totality of persons infected since the beginning of winter, 926 people were not vaccinated, 166 had received a single dose of the two needed to protect them from the virus. A 32 year old woman non-vaccinated died at Poitiers in January last. The regimen traditional measles is an infectious disease caused by a highly contagious virus that affected previously, especially young children from the age of 5-6 months. This is no longer the case : a third of the reported cases concerning persons over the age of 15. However, the cases of measles in adults are potentially more dangerous. ""An extension of the epidemic is feared because no department has currently reached the levels required to interrupt circulation of the virus in 95% of vaccine coverage at two years for both doses of the vaccine"", warns public Health France. ""Measles is 10 times more contagious than the flu. It spreads very easily from person to person through the air when coughing, sneezing, mouchage, or by contact with contaminated objects (toys, handkerchiefs, ...)"", is reminiscent of the ARS. Traditionally, the regimen consists of the injection of a dose of MMR vaccine (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) at 12 months and then a second injection between 16 and 18 months. For people who have never been vaccinated against measles, catch-up is possible. It consists of the injection of two doses of vaccine at least one month apart. In the event of an outbreak, it is possible to receive the vaccine up to 72 hours after contact with a person suffering from measles to prevent the occurrence of the disease (catch-up vaccination). Can we vaccinate children with allergies ? The immunization of allergic children has been addressed by specialists on the occasion of the 13th edition of the French-speaking Congress of Allergy (CFA), which was held this week at the Palais des Congres in Paris. An expansion of the immunization coverage has recently been initiated by the minister of Health, Agnes Buzyn : eleven vaccines are now mandatory for children born after 1 January 2018.

A “warn and inform” message was sent out yesterday to all passengers who travelled northbound on October 19, southbound on October 20 and northbound on October 21.  All crew members who travelled on those dates have also been notified.  NHS Shetland is working with authorities including Health Protection Scotland to ensure that all control measures are in place to prevent further spread of the disease.

NHS Shetland Public Health principal Elizabeth Robinson said that the only way to prevent measles is to have the measles vaccination.  She said that measles is a highly infectious disease and it was possible that subsequent cases could occur in susceptible passengers who have not been vaccinated against the disease who travelled on the same ferry journeys.  Passengers who travelled on the ferry are asked to watch out and contact their GPs or Public Health Teams if they develop certain symptoms. This includes a fever of 38C or higher, a generalised rash and either cough, runny nose and/or conjunctivitis.  Ms Robinson said an immediate programme of vaccination had already begun in Shetland for all children, women of child-bearing age, healthcare workers, social care workers and other young adults who have not had two doses of MMR vaccines or a measles containing vaccine.  She said: “We are aware that there may be increased demand for the MMR vaccine over the next few weeks and we are working on ensuring that sufficient stocks can be made available as soon as possible.”  Captain John Strathearn, operations director for Serco NorthLink Ferries, said: “We are continuing to work closely with NHS Shetland to follow NHS protocols and instructions. This includes informing all relevant passengers and crew to ensure they have the required information.”  A similar public health alert was issued earlier this month.

It was later found that the deaths were caused by medications that were wrongly administered, and two nurses were put on trial for manslaughter.

"2397","Everywhere in the world, measles cases are increasing, in particular because of the distrust of vaccines. The fault of a former british surgeon and medical researcher by the name of Andrew Wakefield, who in 1998 published a study on 12 children (only) in the prestigious journal The Lancet, showing a causal link between the measles, mumps, and rubéoles (MMR) and what he called ""the enterocolitis, autism"". Understand : the autism. A scientific fraud proved at the time, journalists are invited to a national press conference urgent in the confines of the hospital Royal Free in London. All are expecting a scoop. In front of tv cameras, five medical doctors, including Andrew Wakefield, announce to have discovered a link between the MMR vaccine and bowel disorder, as well as the appearance of a severe form of regressive behaviour. Four years after this publication, no other researcher was not able to confirm these results. The scientific fraud is proven, most of the co-authors of the study retracted, and no longer support Andrew Wakefield. On 28 January 2010, a tribunal of the British General Medical Council (GMC) proves the veracity of more than thirty charges against him, among which four charges of ""dishonesty"" and twelve for abuse against children who are victims of developmental disorders. Medical documentation and confidential interviews with witnesses have established that Andrew Wakefield had manipulated patient data, to create the idea of a link between the vaccine and autism. Thus, the court held that the physician had ""failed in its duty of consultant"" and acted ""dishonestly and in a manner not liable"" against the interest of his patients. The circumstances have pushed the medical journal the Lancet has published a retraction. The juicy market of the anti-vaccine conflicts Of interest of a financial nature non-disclosed by the researcher, are finally revealed by the newspaper Sunday Times in January 2011 : Wakefield planned to create a company based on a propaganda campaign is anti-vaccine, which could bring in more than € 32 million. The doctor, in exile in the United States, where it is very close to the circles of ultra-conservative, continued his research on his side, even though many epidemiological studies have repeatedly shown no link between vaccines and autism. Last march, the largest study ever conducted on the subject (since it has been conducted with 657 461 children born in Denmark from 1999 to 2000 and followed until August 2013) has concluded that there is still no link between vaccine and autism, including children. And aluminum in vaccines ? The anti-vaccine also fear that the aluminum content in the vaccines can cause autism. But the study establishing this link was also removed after the scientists noticed that the images had been manipulated. One of the sponsors said that the figures in the document had been deliberately modified before publication. This topic interests you ? Come in and discuss it on our forum !

"10510","Dr. Grzesiowski: measles can become infected even at a distance there are No medications that zahamowałyby the development of the measles virus. You can become infected even at a distance, like being in the same bus with a sick - stressed in a conversation with PAP Dr. Paul Grzesiowski, Secretary of the Expert Group on the Immunization Programme. PAP: Who is at risk of infection with the measles virus? Dr. Paul Grzesiowski: the Risk of infection is greatest in people who nieszczepione not sick in the past, that is, they nieuodpornione. The resistance can be obtained in two ways - you can be or zaszczepionym and then we produce the resistance against the vaccine virus, at the same time immunity against the virus dzikiemu or zachorowaliśmy measles and then, after the illness we also have a resistance to so-called pozakaźną. The third group of people-newborns and infants who receive antibodies from the mother if she had them. PAP: is it enough to inoculate a once in a lifetime that vaccinations need to be repeated to be immune to measles? R. G.: Each vaccination leaves a trace in immunological memory, it is not that the man who took 30 years ago as sympathetic as people nieszczepiona in General. No, although this stability poszczepienna can be so low that the person vaccinated will be sick, only that this disease has a severe course, as when we do nieuodpornieni. Today, knowledge is stored that is needed for full and long-term stability to take two doses of the vaccine mentioned above 1. year of life. Moreover, a second dose of vaccine should be taken, optimally, to 15. year of life. At the moment because of the situation epidemiologiczną even we speed up this second series of vaccines and January 2019. it will be announced in 6. year of life, still was 10. This repetition of vaccination has two goals: first, it captures the man, who did not respond to the first vaccine - this is normal. 2-3%. population, and secondly, it strengthens the immune memory. Secondary contact with the vaccine, leads to the fact that the cells of immunological memory creates more. PAP: how do you get measles and how fast this disease can be spread? P. G.: you can become Infected very easily, fairly just a few virus particles to cause disease. We compromised by kropelkowo-air, it a bit another way than only kropelkowa, i.e. can be transmitted and distance. If the road kropelkowej 1.5 to 2 metres from the man kaszlącej road kropelkowo-airbags, and that the virus is so small and light that also moves with the waves of the air, so we can catch from other people who were in the same bus, no need at all to stand. Record the number of people infected from one patient is 200 people. Possible isolation of measles virus is much greater than other germs, and so the first impact of reducing the number of vaccinations, it is the measles. Is one of the most infectious diseases. PAP: What are the first symptoms of measles? P. G.: In the period of hatching of measles, which lasts 2 to 3 weeks, has actually of symptoms. When the virus namnoży in the respiratory tract, because it is, of course, through the respiratory tract, ie the nose and throat, symptoms similar to influenza, i.e., runny nose, cough, may occur inflammation of the conjunctiva, manifested by photophobia. Children then avoid daylight, and it is also the first case, very typical of measles. When someone will notice this symptom in the patient, and haven't had a rash, it should light up yellow light, that it might be measles. After this first phase kataralnej, generalized phase begins when the virus enters the bloodstream, which comes to the individual bodies. Primarily attacks cause allergies and immune cells, as a result of allergies is a rash. There are millions of red punkcików on the skin that are the result of excited lymphocytes with the virus. The measles virus acts a bit like the HIV virus, i.e., destroys immune cells. The result is: first, the weakening of the immune system, and secondly, a rash cytotoxic. Another warning signal should be rash in the mouth. When we see and red dots on soft palate, gums or the Palatine arches, also needs to light up the signal lamp. Corey, maybe it's time to finish, i.e., after about 5-7 days of high fever, enlarged liver, spleen, all these other symptoms. Unfortunately, some people, at the time a very strong attack of the virus, and can cause severe organ damage, for example, multifocal pneumonia, leading quickly to respiratory failure. PAP: What other complications after measles? RG: Often appear the virus to other parts of the respiratory system, can occur bronchitis, otitis media or sinusitis. The virus can also cause meningitis odrowe spinal cord and brain, resulting in death. This is the early complications, in addition, there are complications later, that is, the disease has passed, it seems that we are back to health, and by about the second or third week start bacterial infections. This is a sign that the person has a very distorted immune system and develops various bacterial complications such as pneumonia, intestinal inflammation or sepsis that can result in tragedy. There's another little complication is talked about much, namely, subacute sclerosing encephalitis that develops a few decades after the acute illness. The virus enters the brain and there very slowly, but, unfortunately, inexorably destroys the brain tissue and always ends with death. This disease killed every year several dozen people in Poland when there was no measles vaccination. It's a very dramatic disease that occurs as a syndrome of dementia or Alzheimer's disease. In a healthy person, within a few months, developing progressive disability, which can lead to death. PAP: how to treat measles? P. G.: has any drugs, measles, remain to us only the drugs that help. Doctors have to watch helplessly as the patient himself fights infection. You can give drip, maintain a breath, but there is no medication that zahamowałyby the development of the virus that does not even have a serum reaction. Chickenpox can with hepatitis of type B we have the so-called serum response, in the case of measles, there is no such drug, which we could support the fight against the disease. If complications arise, the doctors are in a sense helpless. PAP: When can we talk about a measles outbreak, and that the threat of an epidemic outbreak in Poland? P. G.: We have two definitions of an epidemic. One, which takes into account the quantitative questions, that is, for example, there is 100 thousand. the incidence of measles, this condition in Poland is not performed, that is, we cannot speak today about the epidemic, in accordance to numerous diseases. And there are the second definition of an epidemic, which suggests that the appearance of even a small number of cases, but the new or the return of the disease, which was not. This happens now in Poland. Because if we look at the latest data, the Polish, but this year will be 150 or 200 cases, and this is clearly more than in previous years, so we can talk about the growth of disease. Was not the back of the cases over the past 25-30 years. Still happened, in the year 30-40 measles cases, mostly in people niepolskiego origin, that is, for example, it was nieszczepione children from Bulgaria or Romania. And Polish children were not ill at the moment, we have a completely new situation, where the sick Polish children who niezaszczepione. PAP: Who is responsible for the spread of the virus, first of all, people, because these nieszczepione Polish in Poland? P. G.: At the moment, it has changed because in fact, in the past, the main ""suppliers virus"" were people from the South of Europe, i.e. Bulgaria and Romania, at the moment it is equal, it means that people zarażającymi people from other regions of Europe. Of course, if we look at the numbers, basically it will be the people of Ukraine, because there is currently more than 30 thousand. cases of measles, and those people coming to Polish very much. But measles can lead to the Polish population in Greece, Italy or Germany, because there also occur new cases. In Germany happened in the past year, thousands of cases of infection, Italy-5 thousand. It's not small numbers. Measles occurs in many European countries as a recurring epidemic form, because in these countries, many people refuse vaccinations, and diseases arise where there was a decrease in the number of vaccinated people. PAP: can we check its stability on the measles? P. G.: Yes, of course. It's not a perfect method, but, of course, repeats itself, we can measure the level of specific antibodies to measles, the so-called IgG, that is, those of the Mature antibodies. Such a study can be done within five days in almost any laboratory. If we have these antibodies quite a lot, there is a chance that we are protected, that does not mean that we can't get sick, but of course, the presence of these antibodies suggests that we have the immune strength that will enable us to be a normal contact with measles to live without disease. PAP: Or if we do not have a sufficient number of antibody – can and should be vaccinated? So, if the level of antibodies is very low, it is necessary to take one dose of the vaccine. But you can also make that every person, who in the past received only one dose of vaccine against measles should be supplemented with stability through the adoption of a second dose - at the present time we have a widely available vaccine associated against measles, rubella and mumps, which is perfect for this purpose.

"3811","From all of the tubes, the Impfbetreiber blare the news of a very threatening disaster by the big media, writes the impfkritische physician, Dr. Johann Loibner for the campaign to Impfaufklärung ""AEGIS"" in Austria in February. Loibner declared: In the month of January, 30 cases of measles reported. It is, be that as many as in the year 2016, a total of. In the year before that, it had been throughout the year, in fact, only 28 cases. Even if by the end of this year, in every month, so many cases came to the 300 cases, this is not a particularly high number. (Of 0.3 per mil). Since 2002, suspicion, and diseases of measles are reportable. In average we had in Austria between 12 and 143 reported cases. Only in 2008, it came in Salzburg, a relatively high number of measles. (445 according to the BMG). Also in the year 2015, there was a propagated outbreak (309/230 reported/confirmed cases). On the 94 districts in Austria, mean 30 measles cases in each of the 3. District only 1 single measles case. Of a threatening Flare-up of measles is no talk so. Measles are so rare that most Doctors of the younger Generation have never seen a child with measles. Therefore, there are more suspected cases. Measles is very dangerous and highly contagious? It is constantly claimed that measles were a dangerous disease. There are often complications and children could die. In Central Europe, has improved as a result of the improved living conditions the health of the Constitution in such a way that measles are a harmless disease of a few days duration. Only in the case of persons with a critical health condition measles can be dangerous. In the case of children, for example after chemotherapy or children with the most severe heart defects, and the Like, any acute disease, which is otherwise harmless, such as diarrhea or sore throat increased attention. Apart from such cases of measles in the all of them are unwelcome to most of the cases, but in no case, in principle, dangerous. The Impfbetreiber constantly stress that measles were highly contagious. What is so highly contagious, if in the last few years, in some States, only a single case is reported. The vaccination protects really? From the reported cases, it is not clear if the Patients were vaccinated. Since formulations such as ""only once vaccinated"", ""twice-vaccinated or vaccination status is unknown will come."" In addition, the ""Impfmasern"", that is, those cases which occur as a result of the vaccination is to be expected, added. So, we have no precise Figures, which confirm to us that vaccinated people are actually protected. Also, the often-cited increased levels of antibodies is not a reliable protection. The smallpox vaccination smallpox eradicated to have been, is belied by the modern medical and social findings are final. This now fully made statement serves the Impfbetreibern still as a successful slow-burner. The risk of a measles vaccination By the vaccine caused the measles itself. This fact is suppressed in the Calls for vaccination against measles entirely. Apart from mild to severe measles as a result of vaccination, it comes as with most vaccines to serious side effects. That includes infections of the upper respiratory tract, thrombocytopenia, Arthritis, Kawasaki syndrome, Arthritis, Myelitis, Meningitis, encephalitis, etc., conclusion of Loibner measles in Central Europe and in most cases a harmless illness of short duration. In the case of very debilitated people due to a severe General medical condition, any other acute disease can be very dangerous. Similarly, the claim that measles are highly contagious, is due to the low number of Patients, despite the high population density evident resistance. The Impfbetreiber concealment of the fact of the Impfmasern and not always harmless side effects of this vaccination. The deep concern of the Impfbetreiber seems to be based on the constantly declining vaccination rates. The danger from measles is exaggerated in the media by far. The demand for a compulsory vaccination against measles is therefore unjustified.",146,"germany"

In April, they are registered 385 new cases (29 in the last week), a net drop compared to march (when the cases were 818) but still higher than 5 times compared to April of 2016, when they stopped in 76. From the beginning of the year, i.e. in just 4 months, you are already in 1,920 sick: to have a comparison term, in 2016 there were about 800 cases in the whole year. Of these 1920-by-new cases, 88% refers to people who are not vaccinated. And that measles is not a joke this is confirmed by the numbers: 34% of patients had at least one complication, 40% were hospitalized, 15% are finished to the emergency room. The average age is high, compared to the traditional conception of the ""child"" of the disease: 27 years. There are also 127 cases among health care professionals. The worst affected region is Lazio, with 570 cases, followed by Piedmont (429) and from Lombardy region (242). Very few cases in the south, 57 in Sicily, just 18 in the Calabria region, 8 in Puglia, 1 in Basilicata and 12 in the Campania region.

"21212","Measles cases are increasing in different parts of the world. In the first half of 2019, there have been more cases than in any other year since 2006. Until the end of July, the total number amounts to more than 360,000, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), and have already surpassed those recorded in the same period last year, which were 130.000. Of the six regions into which WHO divides the world, those where more has increased are Africa, Western Pacific and Europe. In Africa, the outbreaks are most important are taking place in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, with 2,600 deaths (more than those caused by the ebola epidemic), in Madagascar and in Nigeria. In the european region –made up of 53 countries, from Iceland to Russia– the largest outbreak is the Ukraine, but also highlights the experience of Israel. And in the Western Pacific, the largest outbreak is occurring in the Philippines. Although in the last few decades have been carried out programmes for the eradication of measles, and in 2017 it is achieved that around 85% of the world's children received the first dose of the vaccine at one year of age, cases of this disease have begun to increase and has reemerged in countries that had already eliminated, or were about to achieve it. Outbreaks in Europe In the european region, has doubled the number of cases and the approximately 90,000 children and adults who are infected from January to June already exceed the total reported cases in 2018. This resurgence is mainly concentrated in countries of the East, due to the shortcomings of their health care systems. Ukraine, Georgia, Kazakhstan and Russia account for 78% of the cases in the region. In contrast, according to data from the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, in the last three years, in the European Union (plus Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway), the incidence of measles remains stable with a downward trend. Until the end of August, Lithuania will be the head of the states of the European Union with a higher incidence of the disease, with 303 cases per million inhabitants. In the western Europe, Luxembourg, France, Belgium and Italy are among the countries with a highest incidence, above 30 cases per million inhabitants. While Spain is the tenth in the queue, with an incidence of 5.4 cases per million. For the first time since 2012, the year in which the WHO began to verify the progress towards the elimination of the disease, four european countries –Uk, Czech Republic, Albania and Greece– have lost the status of a country free of measles. In them has become to detect endemic transmission of the virus. According to the WHO, measles elimination in a country occurs when they credited the absence of endemic transmission of the virus during at least 12 months, and is verified after 36 months of interruption of their transmission. Gaps in the systems of vaccination The World Health Organization points out that the global resurgence of measles is due to the gaps that still exist in the coverage of vaccination, both in children as in adults. In developed countries these gaps are concentrated in some communities that are contrary to vaccination, either by certain religious beliefs or by the effect of the false news spread by the movements antivacunas through the social networks. In these communities did not reach the 95% coverage needed for herd immunity, i.e. indirect protection of unvaccinated individuals. In the united States, the ‘Hollywood Reporter’ identified in 2014 that vaccination rates in some private schools of Santa Monica and Beverly Hills were almost as low as those of african countries such as Chad and South Sudan. Increasing global immunization coverage in children under 5 years of age, to combat the hoaxes of the antivacunas and respond with information to the concerns of families vulnerable to the false ideas are matters of vital importance to end up with a disease like measles, which can be serious and deadly. A single person can infect a dozen measles is a viral disease highly contagious and sometimes serious, which is transmitted by the air, from coughing and sneezing. For two hours, the virus is active and maintains its ability to contagious both in the air and on surfaces infected. The sick can be transmitted from four days before the characteristic skin rash and until four days after, and a single person can infect more than a dozen. It is a disease so contagious that nine out of ten unvaccinated people exposed to the virus will be infected. The first symptoms of measles are high fever, cough, irritative, and conjunctivitis, which are between ten and twelve days after the occurrence of the infection. Also appear white spots on the inside of the mouth, characteristic of this disease and known as spots of Koplik. A few days after that raise the fever produces a red rash on the skin (rash) that starts on the face and spreads all over the body. As a general rule, the people survive the measles –its mortality rate is situated to the environment of 1-3 people per 1,000 infected– but in the underdeveloped countries one of every 100 children die due to complications of the disease, which are relatively common. Among these are diarrhoea, pneumonia, ear infections and brain inflammation (encephalitis or), which are more common in children under 5 years of age and in adults over the age of 30. Also, the measles virus can suppress the immune system for weeks or even months, a fact that contributes to bacterial infection such as pneumonia or otitis. According to the WHO, in 2017, the measles caused 110,000 deaths, mostly in countries of Africa and Asia. You can avoid The measles virus was isolated in 1954 by the american doctor Thomas C. Peebles from blood samples and throat swabs collected in an outbreak happened in a school in Massachusetts. Peebles worked to the orders of the virologist John F. Enders, who had received the Nobel prize that same year for research that contributed to the development of the polio vaccine, and your cultivation of the virus allowed Enders to develop, in 1963, the first measles vaccine. In 1971, Maurice Hilleman created the mmr vaccine (known as MMR), which is a mixture of three components weakened –attenuated– virus measles, mumps, and rubella (or mumps), and which currently operates in Europe. Thanks to vaccination, measles can be prevented. The vaccine is safe and effective –as evidenced by the 50 years of use– and has a low cost: for less than a euro you can vaccinate a child. The who estimates that, between 2000 and 2017, we have saved more than 21 million lives and deaths due to this disease have been reduced by 80%. The Spanish Association of Pediatrics recommends vaccinating all children with two doses of the mmr vaccine: the first at twelve months of age and the second between two and four years. -Go to the supplement Third Millennium",143,"spain"

The infected female patient - a member of the crew - has been isolated and is in a stable condition, according to St Lucia's chief medical officer, Dr Marlene Fredericks-James.  She said on Wednesday: ""Measles is a highly contagious disease. Anyone who is not adequately immunised against measles can contract the disease, if there has been close contact with a confirmed case.  ""It is therefore likely that other persons on the boat may have been exposed.  ""The ship's doctor has the confirmed case in isolation on the ship. The individual is in a stable condition.""  The St Lucia Ministry of Health ordered the restriction after speaking with the Pan American Health Organisation and other officials about the risk of exposure to islanders.

What’s the Church of Scientology’s stance on vaccinations? ""None"" of America's largest religions prohibits the use of vaccines, say vaccination experts writing for Columbia University’s blog. They said: “Only a small handful of minor religions — Scientology, Dutch Reformed Congregations, and certain faith healing denominations — resist vaccination due to theological objections.” However, in an interview with BeliefNet, Rev. John Carmichael of the Church of Scientology stated that there were no precepts or strictures about vaccinations within Scientology. He said: “Scientologists are pretty independent people… they tend to do a little more research on the effect of various medical procedures. “They make their own decisions, but those aren’t decisions that the church tries to influence in any way.” In 2016, the Hollywood Reporter said that ""a notable number of the highest-profile immunisation dissenters are Scientologists"" including Juliette Lewis and Kirstie Alley. According to the church’s website, Scientologists do use prescribed medical drugs when physically ill and also rely on the advice and treatment of medical doctors. It adds that the “Church of Scientology has always had the firm policy of not diagnosing or treating the sick. “A Scientologist with a physical condition is advised to seek and obtain the needed examination and treatment of a qualified medical professional.” But, “independent of any medical treatment, a Scientologist then addresses any accompanying spiritual trauma connected to that condition.” In America, 47 states currently allow religious exemptions from vaccines. Experts have called for a change to the laws, so that “fringe religious objections do not get in the way of protecting the safety of our communities”, the Columbia blog adds. A Very Well Family online article about religious exemptions to vaccines in the US says those with an absolute objection to vaccines include small Christian churches, such as Faith Assembly, Faith Tabernacle, End Time Ministries and Church of the First Born. At the First Church of Christ, Scientist, Christian Scientists “believe in healing through prayer and think that vaccines aren’t necessary”, the report adds. Plus, there are “many groups” within other religions in the US who are opposed to getting their kids vaccinated, including some Amish and Dutch Reformed churches. Although Jehovah’s Witnesses once opposed vaccines, which were banned within the group, in 1952 it said that vaccination “does not appear to be in violation of the everlasting covenant made with Noah.”  5 The infected female patient, a member of the crew, has been isolated and is in a stable condition at St Lucia (stock photo) Credit: Getty - Contributor  5 Tom Cruise is considered a God within Scientology, ex-members have claimed Credit: EPA  5 Scientology has come under fire from ex-members who accuse the Church of an array of abuses Credit: Rex",142,"uk"

Have been traced all the contacts from the midwife and vaccinated contact 2 family, 2 parents of infants and health care professionals. As A precaution, however, the other 6 operators were exempted from service. There are four operators of the department of obstetrics and two radiology: all non-vaccinated, did not contract the disease in the past or do not remember if they had. The six were ""temporarily away, waiting to be announced the results of the immunological tests which they have been subjected"". The midwife ""has directly assisted in a childbirth in the incubation period of the disease. From the beginning of August in the department were born 5 or 6 kids, for a month, the span of time that could theoretically develop the disease, will be recalled each week in Pedriatria for a follow-up,"" the president of the regional Commission for Healthcare Fabrizio Volpini. The ISP Service infectious Diseases has immediately started the epidemiological investigation with the assistance of the medical direction of the Hospital. In view of the need to rebuild quickly, the contacts from the midwife and sick in the likely days of incubation of the disease, has been established a first working group with the participation of doctors of the Department of Prevention, directorate of nursing for shifts workers, first aid, medical Direction hospital, division of obstetrics and pediatrics. According to the procedures dictated by the circular of the Ministry of Health, were contacted by telephone, women were found to have had potentially contact for information, availability over the phone for any concerns or doubts, check anamnestic immune status and an invite to vaccination of the susceptible, precautions, and an invitation to attend the next day in Pediatrics. Are being set up a path, and dedicated areas for possible therapy with Immunoglobulins, in the cases provided for by the ministerial directions. Have been advised also 19 contacts of the 56 patients in the emergency room of which was recorded in the phone number, or notified the Physician of general medicine. On the 26th of August the working group, has continued the assessment of the case and were established procedures both for the health personnel in service, both for the monitoring of possible contacts at risk in-patients or discharged. As A result of this further survey work have been identified and traced to the patients assisted by the operator, in the days prior to August 20 to monitor the possible emergence of signs and dial compatible with measles for at least a period corresponding to that of the incubation of the disease. “We are faced with is, unfortunately, a worrying situation. For this I am more and more convinced that the compulsory vaccination is the right way - explains Fabrizio Ferreira, president of the health Commission –. At the national level approximately 30% of the cases of measles that have been reported concerning health care staff is not vaccinated. For this, one is studying a measure that will allow the health care staff is not vaccinated and access to vaccination”. This episode, which was readily controlled by the integrated efforts of the staff of the different organizational structures of the AV 2 ASUR Senigallia, it indicates how the epidemic of measles Italian, is still active and needs the attention and awareness of all citizens that vaccination is an indispensable tool for not put you at risk of serious consequences, in particular those most vulnerable, in this case pregnant women and infants. In this context confirms the need to adhere to the part of the parents to the new legislation that makes it obligatory, among other, also the vaccination for measles for their children. It is an essential tool to prevent the circulation of the virus and then protect the entire population, even those that cannot be vaccinated, such as – in this case – infants. The epidemic of measles the match in the early months of 2017 involved in the chain of transmission, even young adults, caregivers, and school staff. In the Marche region during the first half of 2017 have been notified of the 53 confirmed cases of measles. In the previous years were notified 14 cases in 2012, 56 cases in 2013, 41 cases in 2014, 1 in 2015, and 7 cases in 2016. With regard to the cases notified this year, 89% were not vaccinated, 4% had received only one dose of vaccine, in the 7% of the cases the vaccination was not known. It should be noted that immunization coverage in children of 24 months for a dose of vaccine against measles, mumps, and rubella (MPR) in 2016 in the Marche region was 83% (Uk: 87%). The World Health Organization fixed at 95%, the safety threshold minimum for the coverage of vaccines: below 95% pathogens continue to circulate, putting at risk the health of all. This is the threshold related to the so-called immunity of the flock (or of the population or heard immunity): in fact, if at least 95% of the population is vaccinated, you protect, indirectly, also those who, for health reasons, it has not been possible to submit to vaccination.",141,"italy"

Globally, 98 countries have registered more cases of measles in 2018 compared to 2017, undermining the progress against this disease is widely preventable, but potentially deadly. The Ukraine, the Philippines and Brazil have seen the biggest increase in cases of measles from 2017 to 2018. Only in Ukraine there were 35.120 cases of measles in 2018. According to the government, other 24.042 people were affected only in the first two months of 2019. In the Philippines so far this year there have been 12.736 cases of measles and 203 deaths, compared to the 15.599 cases in 2018.Health facilities are not adequate, civil conflict, lack of awareness of the community, carelessly and hesitations about vaccines, in some cases, have resulted in epidemics in both developed countries and those in development. For example, in the United States, the number of cases of measles has increased by six times between 2017 and 2018, reaching 791 cases. More recently, in the United States there have been epidemics in the states of New York and Washington. ""Almost all of these cases are preventable, but despite this, children are affected even in places where there is simply no excuse,"" said Fore. ""Measles might be the disease but, more and more often, the real infection is the disinformation, distrust and disregard. We must do more to inform accurately each parent, to help us to vaccinate in the safety of every child"".To combat measles, UNICEF is launching an urgent appeal to the governments, healthcare providers and parents to do more to contain the disease: with the understanding that the vaccines are safe and effective and that can save the lives of children",141,"italy"
"7749","'Measles vaccine kills the cells the immune system', Researchers from the Erasmus MC in Rotterdam, have found that the measles vaccine, the immune system is weakened, allowing the children after recovery from measles are more susceptible to other infectious diseases. ""The research is published this week in the journal Nature Communications, reports, Erasmus MC on Friday. The more infections, The measles virus infects and kills the cells of our immune system, "" says Erasmus. In a recent review in the BMJ Open, published, epidemiological studies had the same research group shows that children until a few years after the measles vaccine, on average, more infections are going through, than children who are not at risk from measles have had to be. Measles is highly contagious Measles is a highly contagious disease that is spread through the air. Global causes of the disease are every year more and more than 85,000 deaths. In Europe, there is an increasing number of mazelengevallen seen, mainly due to a decline of confidence in the safety and efficacy of vaccination. What is this, an important part of it is that people will have the disease for which it is inoculated, are less likely to see the seriousness of this disease, alone. It is, therefore, important for the disease process that the measles virus causes it to be easier to understand. Has not been vaccinated In 2013, took place in the Netherlands, a large mazelenepidemie place, especially in the bevindelijk of the Dutch reformed community, and many of the children from the religious considerations, does not need to be vaccinated. Thanks to the generosity of these ongevaccineerde the children and their parents were, researchers from the Erasmus MC, is a unique study to assess the quality of the natural mazeleninfecties. Blood samples for The researchers to have these children's blood samples collected before, during, and after the experience of the center. In the samples collected during the acute phase of the disease, they were able to show that the measles virus in particular cells of the immune system to infect. In the pair-matched samples of children, collected before and after the experience of the center, they were able to show that the populations of cells in the blood for several weeks after the disease is changed. Memory cells, The memory cells of the immune system to remain in the body after recovery from a previous infection. In the case of repeated exposure to the same disease, the immune system, these cells rapidly respond to, and the disease is nipped in the bud. Measles virus infects a large number of cells, so the immunity to previously experienced infections is weakened. This mechanism could be 'immunological memory' as they are called. Together to provide the two publications new evidence that the measles vaccine is an attack against the immune system, the effects of which are a few months to a couple of years can be maintained. The research was carried out under the supervision of dr. Rik de Swart from the department of Viroscience of the Erasmus MC. 'Measles are not a harmless childhood illness,"" The Journal: ""Especially in countries with poor health care, it is at risk from measles death are to high. In the Netherlands, the probability of happiness small as a result of measles to die, but as the coverage continues to fall, it will have the disease in the Netherlands are more common.

Measles is not a harmless childhood illness, but it is a serious infection of the immune system and the respiratory system after the initial recovery of the immune system of the host, even in the long term, not a weakness.

"14110","Twenty million children worldwide were not immunized by 2018, against diseases such as measles, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, according to the UNICEF, which warns of a “dangerous stagnation” in the rates of vaccination because of the conflict, and inequality. In a statement, the United Nations children's fund (UNICEF) quoting data from the World Health Organization (WHO), says that, overall, the immunization coverage with three doses of diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough, and one dose of measles vaccine is at a standstill at around 86%. In spite of recognizing that it is a high-coverage, UNICEF stresses that it is “not enough”, pointing to the need for a coverage of 95%, all over the world to protect against outbreaks of vaccine-preventable diseases. ""Vaccines are one of our most important tools for preventing outbreaks and keeping the world safe and secure"", said Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the director-general of the WHO, quoted in the press release. Responsible underlines the fact that many children are not immunized and points out that, “a lot of times, they are the ones who are at the greatest risk – the poorest of the poor, the most marginalized, conflict-affected, or are forced to leave their homes - the only ones who lose are persistently”. The majority of unvaccinated children live in the poorest countries and “are disproportionately large in states that are problematic or that are affected by the conflict,” said UNICEF, noting that nearly one-half are in the 16 countries are: Afghanistan, Central African Republic, Chad, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Haiti, Iraq, somalia, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, Pakistan, the philippines, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen. “If these kids get sick, they run the risk of incurring the most severe consequences for the health and are less likely to have access to treatment and health care that saves lives,” noted the organisation. UNICEF says the measles outbreaks show the gaps in coverage, many times, over the course of many years, and that the large disparities in access to vaccines, “covering the countries of all income levels”. “This has resulted in outbreaks of devastating diseases of measles in many parts of the world, including in countries that have high rates of immunization in general,” he said. By 2018, nearly 350,000 cases of measles have been reported in all over the world, more than double that by the year 2017. ""Measles is one indicator for a real-time, where we have more work to do in order to fight against preventable diseases"", said Henrietta Fore, director of the executive board of UNICEF. “Measles is highly contagious, and the outbreak point for the communities in which they are not immunized because of access, cost, and in some places, pleasure,” he says. In the Ukraine, leads a list of variety of the countries with the highest incidence rate of measles in the year 2018. Even though the country has vaccinated more than 90 per cent of their babies, and coverage has been low for several years, leaving a large number of children and adults at risk. A number of other countries with a high incidence and coverage are significant groups of people who have not been vaccinated against the measles in the past, it recalls the UNICEF, emphasized that the data showed “that low-coverage over time, or distinct communities of people are not vaccinated, could lead to outbreaks of the deadly”. The organization also called attention to the provision that, for the first time, data on the coverage of vaccination against the Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) that protects girls against cervical cancer in later life. As of 2018, 90 countries, where you live, one out of every three girls in the entire world, they have introduced the HPV vaccine into their national programmes. Of this group, only 13 low-income countries. “This means that those who are most at risk of experiencing the devastating impacts of cancer on the cervix of the uterus, they are the ones that are least likely to have access to the vaccine,” says the press release.",141,"portugal"

In addition, some of the distributors of the drugs, they want to get out of the pharmacy, nearly four thousand doses of the vaccine in order to sell them abroad. The minister of Health was postponed for the time being demand of the people and the president of the european Medicines Agency, Nicolae Fotin, he said that it was a total of 3, 800 doses of the vaccine. He urged the dealers to provide you with priority to the domestic market.

The hundreds of thousands of doses of the vaccine, Alexandru Rafila, chairman of the Romanian Society of Microbiology, told ""radio free europe"" that need to be tackled urgently, and that an epidemic of measles should be a wake up call for all over the world, such as doctors, government officials and parents. He admits that in the past year there has been an export of the parallel of the vaccine, “but we are referring to the vaccine, which is sold on the open market, we are not referring to the vaccines that are part of the national immunisation programme, which can be purchased by the Ministry of Health, through a public procurement procedure, and it is out of the question to be re-exported, in order that they are purchased from the state budget and are distributed through the departments of public health practitioners. Anyway, it's out of stock of the small quantities that we need to tackle the outbreak are much more serious, and so is the need for hundreds of thousands of doses at a national level.” The doctor says that I'm a couple of counties in which the stocks of vaccines have run out and are waiting for replenishment in the next period. Olivia Steer and support a conspiracy theory, well Known for the militancy of his anti-vaccination, the journalist, Olivia, Metro has distributed this statement on the shocking about the outbreak of measles, made by a former member of Ninel Take. She says in a post on his / her account from the social media that a occurrence of measles, ""is it done artificially and deliberately by the guards, with a double order,"" arguing that, in areas of the western part of the country, where there have been many cases of the disease, respectively, Arad and Nadlac, I'm a child with the measles, but I don't, and just over the border in a neighbouring country, Hungary. ""In what european country for a pandemic of the proportions of this? Here.

The city of Arad and Bring sick kids in, but just over the border at Nagylak Mako or the Heart one? And the hungarians have a high degree of vaccination, about 10% lower than that of romanians. A wave of measles has generated is exactly what is intended: a tidal wave of emotion, a giant that would push the public opinion to the acceptance of the fast, and without much debate, the Act of vaccination”, as well as the journalist of his / her account on the social networking site. Alexandru Rafila, chairman of the Romanian Society of Microbiology and has ruled out categorically to this theory, and says that it is impossible for the vaccine to be safe: “with Any vaccine, you put it on the market in the united kingdom, is authorised at the level of the euro-and the European Agency of the Drug (EMA), and each individual lot is approved by the National Agency for Medicines and Medical Devices -(for REPORTING). I can't be in the market for a vaccine that isn't safe, this is not the case. Every vaccine has two qualities: to be sure, so as not to cause any major side effects, and, on the other hand, it must be effective, i.e. to achieve as a result of vaccination the expected result, i.e. the protection against the infection caused by the pathogen”. Dr. Rafila stated, however, that the adverse effects of the vaccine are ""very rare"", while a large number of illnesses and deaths in the ranks of those who don't vaccinate it's obvious WHO's pointing the finger at Romania, The largest outbreak of measles in Europe are located in Romania and Italy, according to a report by the World Health Organization (WHO), the majority of the cases have been reported in the areas in which the immunization is extremely small. According to the report, the three different genotypes of the measles begin to spread in the Usa in the month of January, 2016, are not present within the territory of the country before. Based on the analyses of the laboratory and the epidemiology of these things, the experts will identify the origin of the infection. Because the virus is endemic, it can spread to most parts of the world, even if they are eliminated the disease in the general population. The most exposed are those non-vaccinated or under-vaccinated, regardless of age. The WHO recommends that health authorities in each country to implement the vaccination measures in order to avoid a major epidemic. In order to curb the spread of the virus, it is recommended to achieve and maintain the threshold level of the vaccination coverage of 95% with two doses of the vaccine,-measles. Additional campaign for the vaccination of an Epidemic of measles has reached 4.881 cases, of which 23 deaths, with about 90 of the disease, more than in the previous week, according to data centralized by the National Centre for Surveillance and Control of Communicable Diseases.

As a means of limiting the expansion of the epidemic of measles at the national level, it has been a campaign of further vaccination with the SUPPORT of the children not vaccinated and incompletely vaccinated. The vaccination campaign is continuing. It is necessary for a vaccination coverage of 95% for the first and the second dose of the vaccine, and SHOULD be, to achieve the level of immunity in the population is necessary in order to interrupt the transmission of the epidemic.

Apparently, chicken pox is one of the diseases of childhood, but a child who has developed the disease in the course of a 10-12-year-old can do what is called subacute sclerosing panencephalitis, a disease that's very serious.

Tried to Subscribe to your newsletter, Daily News and get first-hand information. Subscribe to how Many of the cases that have arisen in the Uk and in Europe beginning in October of 2017 at the earliest? Between the beginning of October of last year, and by the end of September of this year, we have already recorded more than 13 400 cases of the measles in over 30 countries in europe, including 126 cases in the Uk - most of them during the surge, which occurred at the hospital de Santo António, in Oporto, in march, according to a new report from the European Centre for Disease Control (ECDC, in its acronym in English). Greece, with more than three-thousand cases), France (2,700) and Italy (more than 2500) have been the worst examples of this. ""Measles continues to spread in Europe, because in the immunization coverage in many countries is lower than it should. Only four countries out of the 30 analysed by the ECDC were rates of immunization coverage to at least 95%, and among them are Uk, along with Sweden, Hungary and the Slovak republic. How is it transmitted? Measles is an infection caused by a virus. It is one of the infections, the most contagious and it ""can cause serious illness, especially in people who are not vaccinated"". ""Measles in previously vaccinated individuals is, the more light, the probability of there being medical complications is much less and is less contagious,"" the DGS. However, the people did not receive the vaccine, and who have never had chickenpox have a high likelihood of contracting the disease if they are exposed to the virus. The virus is transmitted ""by direct contact with infectious droplets, or by the spread in the air when the infected person coughs or sneezes"". ""The patient is considered infectious from four days before until four days after appearance of the rash."" What are the symptoms? The DGS explained that the symptoms of the measles appear usually between 10 and 12 days after a person is infected and usually begin with a fever, and smallpox rash progresses from the head to the trunk and lower extremities), cough, conjunctivitis and a runny nose"". In some cases, they may appear a few white spots on the inside of your mouth, approximately one to two days prior to the onset of the rash, a high fever, and prostration. What is the treatment for this condition? The majority of people recover with symptomatic treatment. Antibiotics are not effective against the viruses of measles, but you have to be prescribed by a doctor to treat any complications, such as pneumonia or ear infections, if they occur. What are the recommendations of the DGS? Vaccination is the primary advice. Check your vaccination records and the ""if you have to, get up and get her,"" he said. The DGS is available in the line, NHS 24 (808 24 24 24). It is recommended that you will need to call this number if you have any questions, if you have been in contact with a suspected case of measles, or if you have symptoms suggestive of the disease. Anyone who has had chickenpox can get back to having the disease? No. ""The people who have already had measles are immune and will no longer have the disease."" What is the vaccination regimen recommended in the Uk. The vaccine, VASPR (measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine is also part of the National Vaccination Plan, it is free of charge. It is recommended that two doses, one at 12 months and at 5 years of age. He was born before 1970 and don't know if you've had chickenpox. What should I do? It is not necessary for the vaccination of those born before 1970, except where there is exposure to a measles case or if you are planning to travel to countries where there are cases, says this to the DGS. In this case, you must be administered at a dose of the vaccine, VASPR. Already, the health care professionals without a history of reliable measles, should have the doses of the measles vaccine (VAS/VASPR), regardless of the year of birth. The people who were born after 1970, age equal to or greater than 18 years of age, without a credible history of polio, they should have at least one dose of the vaccine (DATA/VASPR), administered at 12 months of age or later. All persons under the age of 18 years old must have two doses of measles containing vaccine (VASPR). In the Uk it can be a major measles epidemic? There is no reason to fear a major outbreak of measles, since the vast majority of the people are protected, the majority of those born before 1970, you are protected by having had the disease, and the majority of those born after 1970 have been vaccinated, ensures that the DGS. However, during an outbreak, some vaccinated individuals will contract the disease, due to a reduction in the protection afforded by the vaccine over time, but in relation to the DGS, and the measles in previously vaccinated individuals is, the more light and the chance of having medical complications is very low.",140,"portugal"

According to new research, the measles virus deletes part of the immune system's memory, removing previous immunity to other infections in both humans and ferrets.  Scientists have dubbed the startling findings ""immune amnesia.""  While the body is capable of rebuilding those defences, scientists say the process could take years.  With measles on the rise in the UK and in other countries across the world, Dr Michael Mina of Harvard's school of public health said ""it should be a scary phenomenon"".  Research from the Wellcome Sanger Institute, University of Amsterdam and their collaborators showed that the disease resets the human immune system to an immature state with only limited ability to respond to new infections.  Published in the journal Science Immunology, the study explains why children often catch other infectious diseases after measles.  The Harvard team analysed blood samples taken from 77 children before and after a measles outbreak in an unvaccinated community in the Netherlands.  They looked for antibodies, which remember viruses and bacteria they encounter to guard against a repeat infection.  After recovering from measles, the youngsters were left with plenty of antibodies against that virus - but ones they'd previously harboured against other germs had plummeted.  In the most severe cases, children were left ""as vulnerable as if they were infants"" said the study's senior author Stephen Elledge, a Harvard geneticist.  A separate study, published Thursday in Science Immunology, supported the findings.  Scientists said the research has great implications for public health, as falling vaccination rates are resulting in rising cases of measles.  They said this in turn could cause an increase in cases of other dangerous infections such as flu, diphtheria or tuberculosis, even in people who were previously immune.  In the late 1960s a highly effective measles vaccine was introduced in the UK, and in 2017 the disease had been completely eliminated from the country.  However, measles is highly contagious and cases are rising again, with the UK's vaccination uptake dropping below the required level of 95% of the population.  This led to the UK losing its World Health Organisation (WHO) measles elimination status in August.  In a separate study published in the Science journal, researchers used a tool called VirScan to analyse the responses of antibodies in 77 unvaccinated children aged four to 17 before and after measles infection.  The technology tracks antibodies to thousands of viral and microbial antigens in the blood.  Led by investigators at Harvard Medical School, Brigham and Women's Hospital and the Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health, scientists found the disease wiped out 11% to 73% of the antibody repertoire across individuals two months after measles infection.  Professor Michael Mina said: ""Imagine that your immunity against pathogens is like carrying around a book of photographs of criminals, and someone punched a bunch of holes in it.  ""It would then be much harder to recognise that criminal if you saw them, especially if the holes are punched over important features for recognition, like the eyes or mouth.""  Prof Mina and colleagues found those who survive measles gradually regain their previous immunity to other viruses and bacteria as they get re-exposed to them.  However, because this process may take months to years, people remain vulnerable in the meantime to serious complications of those infections.",139,"uk"

Dr Merlene Fredericks-James, the island's chief medical officer, said: ""Because of the risk of potential infection, not just from the confirmed measles case, but from other persons who may be on the boat at the time, we thought it prudent to make a decision not to allow anyone to disembark.

Across the state, the figure is 85 per cent.  A combination of anti-vaccine propaganda, a state law that allows parents to opt their children out of being immunised, and a reported cultural suspicion of state medicine among elements of its immigrant population, has made Clark County an anti-vaccination “hotspot”.

The Lancet retracted the report in 2010 and Wakefield was struck off the medical register PA  Governor Jay Inslee last month declared the outbreak to be a public health emergency. “Measles is a highly contagious infectious disease that can be fatal in small children,” he said.  Dr Alan Melnick, the county health director, is heading efforts to tackle the outbreak.  “There is lot of diversity in our unvaccinated population,” he says. “There is a lot of anti-vaccine propaganda on social media, and some of this stuff is pretty sophisticated. It’s dangerous nonsense.”  He says the fact Washington is one of 17 states that permits parents to object “philosophically” to their children being vaccinated – not just on medical or religious grounds – further compounds the problem.  The quiet city of Vancouver, which sits across the Columbia river from Portland, Oregon, is just the latest community to find itself combatting an outbreak of measles, which is fatal in one to two cases per thousand. The last death from measles in the US was in 2015, but the disease can also cause hearing loss, diarrhoea and swelling of the brain. An outbreak among an Orthodox Jewish population in New York made 2018 the second-worst year for measles since 2000. It is always more perilous for children.  The state Centres for Disease Control and Prevention says online: “In 2018, 349 individual cases of measles were confirmed in 26 states and the District of Columbia. This is the second greatest number of annual cases reported since measles was eliminated in the US in 2000.

In some of the outbreaks, such as one that struck the Somali-American population of Minneapolis in 2017, experts pointed to the role of disgraced British doctor Andrew Wakefield, as a factor in people’s decision not to have their children vaccinated. Wakefield, who claimed in the 1990s to have found a possible link been the measles, mumps, and rubella vaccination (MMR) and autism, was found guilty of professional misconduct and struck off by the British Medical Council.  In the years since, he has moved to America where he continues to promote his anti-vaccine beliefs. In the case of Washington state, one of the most high-profile anti-vaccine campaigners is Robert F Kennedy Jr, an environmentalist and nephew of the assassinated president John F Kennedy.  The 65-year-old has been leading efforts to block state legislation that would remove parents’ “philosophical” right to object to children being vaccinated if they wanted to attend private or state school. (They could still object on religious or medical grounds.)  John Wiesman, Washington’s health secretary, recently told politicians the proposal was “about safe schools and protecting vulnerable children”.  At least 17 studies have shown no link between autism and the MMR vaccine, but Kennedy continues to argue the contrary. He did not respond to enquiries from The Independent, but according to The News Tribune, he told the meeting of legislators: “We don’t know the risk profile of the MMR vaccine. There is no safety testing for the vaccine.”  Kennedy is a man with powerful connections. In January 2017, he met president-elect Donald Trump, who during a primary debate had falsely claimed vaccines could cause autism.  Kennedy said Trump had asked him to head a commission to investigate their safety. That idea never materialised. However, some of those in Trump’s circle continue to make claims about the dangers of vaccines, despite them being denied by the government’s own scientists.  Earlier this month, the wife of White House communications director Bill Shine, Darla Shine, claimed “childhood diseases such as measles keep you healthy and fight cancer”.  She also tweeted: “I had the #Measles #Mumps #ChickenPox as a child and so did every kid I knew - Sadly my kids had #MMR so they will never have the life long natural immunity I have. Come breathe on me!”  In the days since a state of emergency was declared in Washington over measles, residents have reacted in different days. Officials ordered hundreds of children to stay home from school, parents cancelled play-dates and some elderly residents reportedly wore face masks to visit the supermarket. There has also been a 500 per cent increase in the number of vaccinations being provided compared to the same three-month period last year.  Shawn Brannan, of the Sea Mar clinic, says he has seen a jump in the number of parents bringing in their children to be vaccinated. He says a number were from the area’s 40,000-strong Russian and Ukrainian community.  He says he had been told some members of the community are suspicious of state medicine – a holdover from Soviet days – and he had witnessed parents weeping as their children were vaccinated. “Some of them have been in tears,” he says.  Indeed, at least eight of more than 20 outbreak sites in Clark County or Portland were in Slavic churches or schools. “Many Slavic immigrants endured the harshness of the Soviet regime under a totalitarian government,” Yuriy Stasyuk, a data analyst with the Washington Health Alliance, told Komo News. “This has led to a lot of anti-government sentiment and a distrust of academia, science, and public health, which were sponsored by the government.”  Last year, US researchers said Russian social media trolls and bots linked to alleged efforts to meddle in the 2016 presidential election had been pumping anti-vaccine information to “create social discord”.  Researchers, who studied tweets produced by the St Petersburg-based Internet Research Agency, which has been named in indictments filed by special prosecutor Robert Mueller, found it had made claims such there was “a secret government database of vaccine-damaged children”.  David Broniatowski from George Washington University says: “A significant portion of the online discourse about vaccines may be generated by malicious actors with a range of hidden agendas.” It is not known whether the Russian-produced anti-vaccination has been read by people in Clark County.  Peter Tishenko, head pastor of Church of Christ the Saviour, one of the Slavic churches named as an outbreak site, says there is no prohibition against vaccinations. A member of the congregation, who asked not be identified, says both of their children were vaccinated and it was wrong if people in city believed the Russian-speaking community opposed their use. “I know there is a social media frenzy that is going on,” says the church member.  Recently, Hillary Parkin and her 15-month-old son and three-year-old daughter were preparing to dodge the rain as they left a Dollar General store in the north of Vancouver. It is one of three locations of the discount chain listed among the outbreak sites.  Parkin, who is Mormon, is not concerned about bringing her children to the store, which they visit once a month. She says: “Both of them are vaccinated.”",138,"uk"

Unvaccinated can not develop not only themselves, but also infants infected, which can not yet be vaccinated. The Saxony's vaccination Commission had recently changed its recommendation: The second measles-Mumps-rubella-vaccination is now the 4.

"5163","MEASLES IS BACK in the news this week after Italy reintroduced a law banning children from attending creches and nursery schools if they have not been vaccinated.  There has been a resurgence in measles in recent years – Ireland is one of 98 countries around the world which saw an increase in cases last year, with 136,000 deaths attributed to the disease.  In the second episode of our new weekly podcast The Explainer, we go on a deep dive into why that is with guests Dr Ciara Kelly from Newstalk, cancer researcher Dr David Robert Grimes, and TheJournal.ie reporter Órla Ryan.  The episode looks at whether mandatory vaccination works and if it should be introduced in Ireland, the role of social media in measles outbreaks, and why people who get vaccinated can still get measles.  “We’re in major trouble because you will see it spread like wildfire and that’s the difficulty,” says Kelly.

"14112","More than 41,000 children and adults in the European Region of the World Health Organization (WHO) have contracted measles in the first six months of the year. Advertising More than 41,000 children and adults in the European Region of the World Health Organization (WHO) have contracted measles in the first six months of the year, a number that exceeds ""by far""the total number of affected persons has been registered in a period of one year during the last decade. Up to now, the total annual highest cases of measles between 2010 and 2017 was 23.927 last year, and the lowest was 5.273 in 2016. The monthly reports of the countries also indicate that at least 37 people have died due to measles so far this year. ""After the number of cases is the lowest of the decade in 2016, we are seeing a dramatic increase in infections and outbreaks. We call on all countries to immediately deploy measures appropriate to the context to stop the spread of this disease. Good health for all begins with the immunization, and while not the removal of this disease we are not abiding by our commitments to Sustainable Development Goals,"" says dr Zsuzsanna Jakab, WHO's regional director for Europe. Seven countries of the European Region of the WHO have suffered at least 1,000 infections in children and adults this year, namely France, Georgia, germany, Greece, Italy, Russia, Serbia and Ukraine. This last state has been the most affected, with more than 23,000 people infected, which represents more than half of the regional total. Reported measles-related deaths in all these countries, and Serbia reported the highest number of deaths. Advertising According to the latest evaluation of the European Commission Check for Regional Elimination of Measles and Rubella (RVC, for its acronym in English), published on Monday, 43 of the 53 member states of the Region have interrupted the propagation of endemic measles and 42 have managed to stop the rubella, according to reports from 2017. In view of these data, RVC has expressed ""its concern about the surveillance, inappropriate disease and low immunization coverage in some countries."" It has also come to the conclusion that the chains of measles transmission continued for more than 12 months in some countries that had interrupted the spread of endemic disease, returning to its state endemic. Advertising ""This backward part proves that every person who is not immune is still vulnerable no matter where you live, and each country must continue to pressure to increase the coverage and close the gaps immune, even after achieving the state interrupted or eliminated,"" said dr. Nedret Emiroglu, director, Division of Health Emergencies and Communicable Diseases of the WHO Regional Office for Europe. The measles virus is exceptionally contagious and is easily spread among susceptible individuals. To prevent outbreaks, according to details the WHO, you need at least 95 per cent coverage of immunization with 2 doses of measles-containing vaccine in each country and each year, as well as efforts to reach children, adolescents, and adults who missed routine vaccination in the past. While the coverage of immunization with 2 doses of vaccine increased from 88 percent of the eligible children in the Region in 2016 to 90 percent in 2017, there remain ""large disparities""at the local level: some countries report over 95 percent of coverage and other below 70 per cent. ""We must celebrate our achievements without losing sight of those who are still vulnerable and for whose protection requires our urgent attention and permanent. We can stop this deadly disease, but we can't succeed unless all do their part: to immunize their children, to themselves, their patients, their populations, and also to remind others that vaccination saves lives,"" concludes dr.

"62412","The Secretariat of Health of Mexico (equivalent to the Ministry of Health in Spain) has reported that the National System of Epidemiological Surveillance (SINAVE) has confirmed the importation of a case of measles in the state of Quintana Roo, where are some of the most important tourist destinations of the world such as Isla Mujeres, Cancun, Cozumel or Tulum. According to the reports of health authorities, the case concerns a woman of 50 years resident in England (Uk) who reached Mexico on the 27th of may through the International Airport of Cancun to spend your vacation in Playa del Carmen. The woman presented symptoms of the disease sought medical attention at a private hospital. To be recognized as a possible case of measles, may 28, was transferred to a unit of the Secretariat of Health, where they started the protocols for case study, identification of contacts and locking epidemiological. The patient's family, two women of 7 and 29 years of age and two boys 14 and 33 years of age, are currently asymptomatic. Since the authorities are confident that the protocols are activated and coordinated work of the different health agencies will avoid contagion, and to detect secondary cases. Also, play a role in the high-coverage vaccine against the measles, both in Quintana Roo as in the rest of the country contribute to a low risk of spread of this disease. Mexico has not recorded cases of measles indigenous since 1996, so the virus is considered eradicated. Most cases imported into the Americas According to data from the Pan american Health Organization (PAHO). In this 2019 have been notified measles cases in 12 countries of the Americas: Argentina, Bahamas, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, united States, Mexico, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela. USA (284 cases), Brazil (70) and Venezuela (63) are those that concentrate the greatest number of incidents. For its part, this is the second reported case this year. The entity explains that this situation is associated to the importation of cases from countries outside the Region, usually by tourists. In fact, recently it was reported that a family of French travellers would have re-introduced this viral disease in Costa Rica. A very contagious disease measles is a disease that especially affects children and can present complications that affect the lungs and brain, and can be deadly. According to data from the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2016 died 89.780 all over the world for their cause. According to this entity, the first sign of measles is usually high fever which begins about 10 to 12 days after exposure to the virus and lasts between 4 and 7 days. In the initial phase, the patient may experience a runny nose, cough, watery eyes and red, and small white spots on the inner face of the cheeks. After several days displayed the characteristic rash (exatema), which lasts 5 to 6 days, and then fades away. The measles virus is very contagious and is spread by coughing and sneezing, personal contact, intimate or direct contact with secretions. Those infected are contagious in a period between 4 days before rash and until 4 days after his disappearance.",137,"spain"
"25415","The UK government has confirmed today (9 December) that a second UK aid-funded Emergency Medical Team (UK EMT) of 14 British medics will be deployed to Samoa to tackle a deadly measles outbreak over Christmas.  A first team flew out from the UK on 29 November and is working for two weeks in Samoa to help people suffering from the virus. The UK government has now committed to extend its support.  The second UK team will replace the current team of 14 British medics and is expected to arrive on 15 December. They will be working 12 hour shifts over Christmas to treat critically ill children in Samoa’s national hospital in Apia.  120 patients are currently receiving treatment in Samoa’s national hospital for measles. Over 90% of those who have died since the outbreak began have been children under three. The UK team has been treating and resuscitating children with measles to prevent further loss of life.  Measles is a highly contagious virus that can spread to others through coughing and sneezing. Each case can infect many other people and complications can lead to pneumonia, severe diarrhoea and encephalitis or inflammation of the brain.  International Development Secretary Alok Sharma said:  I want to thank those British medics in the South Pacific for their dedication, especially at this time of year, for working so hard to tackle this deadly outbreak and treat those who are infected. The next wave of medics will ensure that patients will continue to be seen over the Christmas period, and that the UK will play our part in stopping more families losing loved ones to this deadly disease.  Becky Platt, paediatric nurse with the UK Emergency Medical Team, currently in Samoa, said:  The medical system here is under the most enormous amount of strain, with the hospital operating far, far beyond its usual capacity. The local staff have been working around the clock for weeks and weeks on end, many of them without proper breaks or any days off. Some of them are absolutely on their knees. We’ve seen some cases of very, very sick children. Children are dying from the complications of measles.  Stephen Owens, paediatric consultant with the UK Emergency Medical Team, currently in Samoa, said:  Almost all of the patients are children under the age of five. It’s great to see this NHS team just click into place here with real professionalism. We will treat as many patients as possible and hopefully save lives.  David Wightwick, UK-Med CEO said:  UK-Med and our partners Humanity & Inclusion are glad to have prepared a second team of healthcare professionals to help treat children affected by the measles outbreak in Samoa with funding from UK aid. We’d like to thank our hugely dedicated team members, who have been working around the clock alongside AUSMAT and Samoan colleagues, for their dedication and professionalism.  Thank you to our committed second wave team members for supporting this vital response to help save lives and alleviate suffering of those affected.

"1586","Here is everything you need to know about the highly contagious disease. Once a child has been infected with the measles - this time a 14 months old girl in the Roskilde area. This is the ninth case case of measles in an outbreak that started 7. February, which has been the Statens Serum Institut and several experts to call for that you are vaccinated if you have not already had measles or have not been vaccinated. - That is the circulation of measles virus and a risk of infection in Denmark, since we are dealing with a highly contagious disease, informs Peter Henrik Andersen, who is afdelingslage at the Statens Serum Institut. But why is measles so contagious? How do you know whether you have been vaccinated or not? And can my not yet-vaccinated baby be infected? The answers to these questions and many more you can get including. Everything you need to know about measles: When you're talking about a outbreak? You talk about an outbreak, even if that at present there are six infected, because there is a disease, which is usually not in Denmark. The current outbreak started in the beginning of February, when two danes were infected during a holiday in France. There is talk about a smaller outbreak, highlights the State's Serum Institute. How many are infected in this outbreak? Since week seven have been detected nine cases of measles in Denmark in the current outbreak. It remains to be seen how the 13-month-old baby has been infected, but the first six infected is according to Statens Serum Institut ""strong likelihood"" part of the same smittekade, when they were infected with the same virus. According to the State Serum Institute in relation to the four-year-old from Copenhagen, however, talk about a different type of measles virus, which is not part of the current outbreak. How contagious is measles? Measles is one of the most infectious diseases. Or put in an expert's words: - If we put 100 people in a room that is not infected, and there come in one check, which is infected, so will all 100 in the course of an hour be infected, says Jan Pravsgaard Christensen, who is a professor at the Department of Immunology and Microbiology at Copenhagen University. Maslingesmitten is transmitted by droplet infection, and even if the sick person is isolated, can the measles jump from room to room. In order to achieve the so-called flokimmunittet - it will say that the non-vaccinated part of the population will be indirectly protected because a certain percentage of the population is vaccinated - to be 95 percent of the population be vaccinated. In recent years, this number has only been about 90 percent. It means that one out of ten not vaccinated. What are the symptoms? Measles has an incubation period of up to 18 days. The typical symptoms are high fever, heavy cold, red eyes, cough and after a few days of recovery on the new high fever and a red dotted rash that starts in face and spreads down over the body. The rash will typically ”flow together”. If you suspect to be infected, you must call for his own doctor or the doctor on call, so one can be examined without exposing others to infection. One should not turn up unannounced, as measles is very infectious, and are thus likely to infect others in the waiting room. If you have received the letter or email that you have been exposed to infection from the already well-known people, it is important to mention, and doctors are urged to be extra vigilant on the patients with symptoms that could be measles. Why can measles be dangerous? Measles is one of the most serious childhood diseases and provides with a out of 2500 hiv is a severe encephalitis that can cause brain damage. Approximately 15 percent get complications such as mellemore and pneumonia. I think I have measles. What should I do? You should contact your doctor by telephone and not meeting up in the waiting room or another, as you – if you have measles – can quickly infect others. If it is outside your doctor's opening hours, you must call 1813 and mention your suspicion of measles. Again: So you don't show up in a filled waiting rooms with small children or other unvaccinated, who do not tolerate to be infected. When started the childhood immunisation programme? If you are born after 1987, where the MMR vaccine was introduced in the childhood immunisation programme, you are likely to have been vaccinated, unless your parents have actively chosen the vaccination from. There will be up to approximately ten percent of a class that may not have received the vaccine. Since introducing the vaccine in 1987, children were born in the period 1975 to 1986 also offered the new MMR vaccine. Adherence to this program, however, was lower, partly because some had already had measles, especially the elders in the age group. While participation in the vaccination programme in the 1990s and 00's was below 90 percent, increased the connection in 2012 to 90 percent. In 2014 and 2015 was the connection at 94 percent. Who should right now be particularly aware? Unvaccinated persons born after 1986 as well as persons born in the period 1975 to 1986 should pay special attention. I have had measles, or have I been vaccinated? Previously, you had typical measles aged five to seven years. If you are born in 1987, and then, you are most likely been vaccinated – see the point above. If you were born before 1975, you in all probability have not been vaccinated, but if you grew up in Denmark, you have according to the State Serum Institute with very high probability (95 to 98 percent) had the measles. The reason is that before 1975 was the outbreak every two years, with up to 60,000 infected people. All have received a vaccination card, which shows what you have been vaccinated against. If you can't find your vaccination card, many parents often remember their children have had measles or have pictures of the very characteristic rash. Often, it is not possible for your practitioner to find your information in vaccinationsregisteret. A blood test can show whether you have antibodies against the virus in the body. But if you are unsure whether a person has been vaccinated or have had measles, you will be offered the vaccine instead of spending time on blood tests or a lookup in the register. If you have not been vaccinated, it does not mean that you are now exposed to infection, for you may well be been infected with measles in previous outbreaks and thus be immune. Can I be vaccinated as an adult? Vaccination against measles has since 1987 been a part of the childhood immunisation programme. You are, however, of one reason or another, not been vaccinated, it is free for everyone – including adults - to get vaccinated against measles, and you can get the vaccine at a private doctor or a rejsemedicinsk clinic. As an adult, one becomes vaccinated once. Protects the vaccine to small children who has only been vaccinated one time? The MMR vaccine is given twice, when the child is 15 months and four years. The first vaccination protects up to 95 percent against measles, and therefore give the vaccine twice, because the second vaccination will be protected with 98 to 99 percent certainty. You can give the MMR vaccine from 12 months at the same time as other vaccines be given at the time. Can my baby be infected with measles? Completely infant children up to seksmanedersalderen are usually protected by antibodies from their mother, if the mother well to the brand even has had measles. Are you as a mother have been vaccinated against measles – so you do not have had measles - is the baby is not protected quite as long time of the mother's antibodies. Therefore investigate a completely new research project at copenhagen university hospital (Rigshospitalet), which runs until 2023, on children should be offered the vaccine from the seksmanedersalderen. You can read more about here. Children up to 15 months, where the first vaccine available, is not fully protected, but you have chosen to first give the vaccine at the time, because some children are protected by their mothers antibodies up to 15 months. If you give the vaccination too early, while the child still has maternal antibodies in the body, works the vaccine does not, and thus would a vaccine give a false sense of security. What age group is at greatest risk for infection and complications? When there are outbreaks of measles, it is often teenagers and adults who are affected – it is also in these groups, the risk of complications is greatest. Very young children often do not have any well-developed immune system and are therefore also at risk of becoming infected unless they are protected by mother's antibodies - while healthy children from two to the age of three upwards, often performing to be infected with measles without major complications. Can I be vaccinated, although I may have already been or have had measles? Yes – if you are vaccinated, even if you have had measles or have already been vaccinated, have the vaccine just no effect. Is there anyone who should not be vaccinated? Yes. Pregnant women and persons with immune defects should not be vaccinated. According to professor Jan Pravsgaard Christensen is a small group of people born with genetic effects, so they can't make antibodies - or only do them very badly. Individuals with cancer or any types of cancer treatment, including children with leukemia, may not be vaccinated. The same is true for people with hepatitis or tuberculosis, as immunpavirkningen can get the person's illness, for example hepatitis, to break out. Hiv-infected must get by far the most part be vaccinated, but it depends on an individual assessment of the person's immune system. Why should we receive the vaccine, when measles is so rare in Denmark? We should according to Jan Pravsgaard Christensen, because we travel to places where there are large outbreaks, and thus face the risk of importing measles to Denmark, as is the case now with the ongoing outbreak. There is right now maslingeudbrud, among others, Ireland, France and the UNITED states. Can I be vaccinated if I have been exposed to infection? Have you been exposed to infection with measles, a doctor vaccinated for up to 72 hours after you have been infected, and there may be antibodies up to six hours after the smittetidspunktet.

"3819","All parents should be able to be sure that your child will not be infected with measles and are at risk. – The Minister of health, Jens Spahn With this sentence, announced Minister of health, Jens Spahn in the beginning of may in 2019, its draft law, the parents should agree to let their children against measles should be vaccinated. Largely unnoticed by the General Public, the health Ministers of the countries gave him in the beginning of June for their approval. It is not to unexpected occurrences threaten parents from 1. March 2020 in case of a breach of sensitive fines of up to 2,500 Euro, and The current draft law of the Ministry of health (2019) exclusion of unvaccinated children from day care. Also professional groups that have a lot of contact with children, such as teachers, educators and health staff, would be affected by the vaccination. The issue is in the Ministry of health priority. This is mainly due to the continued high case, the potentially life-threatening disease numbers. In the year 2018 544 people, The Robert-Koch-ill Institute provides information on all reported cases of the disease in 2019, is already one of 422 Infected. The measles could be eradicated for a long time. And is precisely the intention of the Minister of health Spahn with his ""measles protection act"". Goal is to immunize 95% of the population successfully against measles. This should succeed, the topic of measles vaccination in the best case of self – the pathogen would simply die out, if he found no more victims. But government regulations are the right way to go? Or poison coercive measures, the discussion between supporters of vaccination and Impfgegnern possibly even more? The symptoms of measles disease include skin rash, fever, and inflammation of the mucous membranes. Source: Wellcome Collection gallery CC BY vaccination – Where is the Problem? Opponents there have always been – since the discovery of vaccination more than 200 years ago. However, they have never had it so easy to stir up Fears in the population and to spread falsehoods about the Vaccination. And never before, their Fears were so unfounded. Vaccines are unnatural and work by chemistry – Argument of Impfgegnern Further from the truth of This and more opponents-arguments – and their exhaustion – lists the ""Medical Journal"" could be an Argument. In fact, a vaccination simulates a real infection, preventive defense forces to train. Our immune system ""stores"" to the small sample size, the information about the administered pathogens, and can then, if we should be infected really, of the pathogens by using so-called memory cells as quick as a flash ward off. That doesn't work so well the Vaccinated from the attack of the malefactor gets his organism something – he is not sick. We infect us with a disease, the immune system initially with a rapid reaction Force – the so-called monocytes, and neutrophils. These immune cells ""eat"" pathogens, and decompose parts systematically in their individual. The thus gained information on the structure and properties of the pathogen will be returned to the operations centre, which now begins with the training of special teams: the B - and T-lymphocytes. We can B - and T-lymphocytes, such as experts, imagine, have specialized in only a specific pathogen, and its weak points. In the case of an infection, you are in just a few days ready for your use. Certain infectious diseases are, however, faster than any of the Lymphocyte – and here is where vaccinations come into play. Our body has survived an infection only once, will not be released, all the experts directly. Some of them stay with us for a lifetime and wait patiently for your next use. It comes to that, you will have to spend our immune system valuable time to start training Again, but the already existing lymphocytes can copy in the shortest amount of time a thousand-fold. The price for this ""resilience"" is not that also the Simulation of a disease is completely risk-free. After all, the vaccine must be similar to the real pathogen is enough to have a comparable reaction in the immune system trigger as in a later case of an emergency. To achieve this, there are 2 medical options: 1. Live vaccines can cause, in principle, the same immune response as a natural infection. It is capable of propagation, but attenuated pathogens. The advantage is that The Vaccination is usually after one application. 2. Killed vaccines contain an inactive, non-viable pathogen. You need so-called adjuvants to increase the immune response of the body to guarantee the effect of the vaccination. Because of their weaker effect of killed vaccines need multiple vaccinations, including subsequent booster vaccinations. That was a few decades ago still a real Problem. The vaccination eradicated in the 1980s, the smallpox finally successfully unleashed, even in one of 1,000 cases of severe side effects. A rate of 0.1%, the tolerated today, no one – and no longer occurs, thanks to modern medical procedures, serious side effects today the absolute exception. Between the years 2001 and 2012, only 1.301 of such cases were reported (PDF, 2013) In the case of the measles vaccination, they amount to just 0.004% of . Heavy Impfnebenwirkungen today are the absolute exception. Entirely to The Youtube exclude-channel ""is defined, in Short,"" how high is the risk of Impfnebenwirkungen is actually (English, 2019) side effects still not. And it is exactly this residual risk would outweigh according to Impfskeptikern the benefits of immunization. The children's doctor Benedict Brixius encountered this prejudice often in his specially equipped Impfsprechstunden. He tried to clarify: ""I am now since the age of 18 years as a practicing pediatrician and have never seen a patient with ""vaccine damage""."" Necessary the office hours of Benedict Brixius, because when you Vaccinate today is a very different Problem than in the past. And that is that it works so well: today Would sieren still measles epidemics with Thousands of diseases of grass, would probably come no one seriously to the idea to compare the side-effects of vaccination with the risks of a real infection. The same applies to the mistaken belief that a child must make of such diseases, a good immune defense to train. In the case of diseases such as measles, where the child is to bear severe physical disabilities can – and I have seen such cases themselves – you can't tell, this disease has the child been of the greatest service. – Benedict Brixius, a children's doctor In science, there is no doubt that modern vaccines are efficient and safe. Thanks to you, were eradicated in the 1980s, the smallpox successfully, and this is just one example among many. The same might also be the case of the measles reached. A vaccination is, therefore, the only logical consequence? Opponents of a mandatory vaccination protest in Los Angeles.

"5162","Recent World Health Organisation (WHO) data has shown an alarming rise in the number of measles cases.  Measles cases will top 60,000 this year, making it the highest incident of the disease in Europe in the past 20 years.  There have also been 72 resulting deaths, twice as much as those in 2017.  The heightened prevalence of the disease is being attributed to the growing anti-vaccine movement.  With the aid of social media, the anti-vaccine movement has been able to spread its message at a high-speed rate, gaining members from all over the world.  As a result, health experts have spoken out to discredit false beliefs surrounding vaccinations’ effects andto reassure families of the treatments’ safety.  There have been 72 entirely avoidable deaths from measles in Europe this year.    If you are thinking of choosing not to vaccinate your child, please, please have a chat with your nurse or doctor.    It might just save your child’s life https://t.co/xQ7i0e8aUU — Rachel Clarke (@doctor_oxford) December 21, 2018  The European Union’s health commissioner, Vytenis Andriukaitis, told The Guardian that there was a plethora of ‘fake news’ surrounding the controversial topic.  “Not just me – all of scientific society is concerned – epidemiologists, paediatricians, infectious disease experts and a lot of health ministers”, he said.  “It is unimaginable that we have deaths because of measles – children dying because of measles. We promised that by 2020 Europe would be measles free.”  This suspicion against vaccines is often caused by mistrust of pharmaceutical companies.  WHO and the EU have created organisations to help educate people about the safety and positive effects of vaccines.  Heidi Larson, the director of the Vaccine Confidence Project at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, says the anti-vaccine movement has multiple reasons for their stand against medicine.  “It’s going down in some places and we have these pockets [of low immunisation] and this is not going to get easier, especially as more and more vaccines and combinations of vaccines are being brought on board”, she said.  “Part of the challenge is that it’s various things and many of them are outside the scope of an immunisation programme – it’s political, it’s religious and it’s increasingly part of identity for people.”",136,"ireland"
"6079","The measles is back, and even among the adults. In Milan, as in Italy and in the world are increasing the cases of infection among the adult population. To bring back the worrying data is the Courier of the Evening: In less than five months, there are already 139 people infected in the Ats of Milan, against the 115 of 2018, the year considered to be “peaceful” by the experts. Expecting a return of the virus, but not so fast. And if it is true that the most affected are young people and adults (nearly 70 percent of the sick are between 15 and 39 years of age), doctors are concerned for the vulnerable groups: infants, elderly, immunosuppressed. To speak of the situation to the Courier is Marino Faccini of the department of Prevention and infectious diseases of the Ats in milan. “Vaccination against measles is arrived in Italy in the ’80s, but later spread in the ’90s. This means that many young people and adults have discovered, and among them circulates the virus. The peak was expected, even if we thought we were to arrive later”. In 2017, was exploded to the epidemic, with 387 cases. The curve was reduced in 2018 to return to take a leap at the beginning of 2019. “It is often the adults transmit the disease to infants. It is one of the diseases most contagious: it starts with a sore throat, conjunctivitis, high fever, and then appear the characteristics red spots on the skin”, explains the expert. The critical moment is the first, even when the pathology is not overt, and the incubation lasts ten to fifteen days. Which explains why the measles travels so fast. The trend is seasonal, with an increase in cases in late winter and spring. The risks are many, especially for younger children and for the elderly population: pneumonia, respiratory failure, and encephalitis. The only way to curb infections and risk is the vaccine, Faccini says: “it Is also used for prophylaxis post-exposure but can be useful only if taken within 72 hours after contact with the sick person. In this case, can block the virus [...] consists of two doses, the first protects 95 percent of the cases, the recall serves to cover the five percent that is not responding”. The Ats of Milan is carrying out a campaign to promote vaccination.",136,"italy"
"6081","Spread throughout the world, measles is a disease that can be prevented with vaccination. But what is it? How it is transmitted? The pediatricians of the Sip, the Italian Society of pediatrics, meet 8 of the most common questions. To clarify is Leila Rotondi Aufiero, complex Structure of general pediatrics and infectious diseases at the Bambino Gesu Hospital of Rome. 1. MEASLES: WHAT IS IT? Measles is an acute febrile, typical of childhood, it's viral, highly contagious disease caused by the Paramyxovirus. 2. HOW IT IS TRANSMITTED? The Paramyxovirus is transmitted by respiratory secretions, multiplies in the cable to the upper respiratory tract and in regional lymph nodes, then disseminates via the lymphatic system and blood. Measles is transmitted so that for the contact of a healthy person with an infected coughing or sneezing. The air transmission is possible even at distances greater than 1 meter. It is not transmitted from animals, and there are no healthy carriers. 3. WHAT ARE THE SYMPTOMS? The incubation period is about 13 days. The initial phase is characterized by the appearance of fever, malaise, rhinitis, conjunctivitis, and cough. The fever is usually high (39°-40°C) begins about 10-12 days after exposure to the virus, and lasts 4 to 7 days. Can also occur in small lesions are whitish, in clusters, localized on the buccal mucosa in correspondence of the outlet of the duct of Stenone, these spots Köplik, one or two days before that it appears the rash body and may be visible from one to two days after. After about 14 days after exposure to the virus, it manifests itself in the rash erythematosus, maculopapular, red color, vinous, first on the face, then the neck then across the surface of the body until the hands and feet (the area of the palm and feet excluded). The eruption lasts 5 or 6 days, and then resolves. 4. WHAT ARE THE COMPLICATIONS? Diarrhea, otitis, pneumonia, seizures and infections of the brain and nervous system. In some cases, measles can even cause death. The categories more at risk of complications are infants, pregnant women, the immunosuppressed and the elderly. 5. WHAT IS THE THERAPY? There is no specific therapy for measles. The treatment is largely support (anti-pyretics, fluids, etc) addition of course to the treatment of any bacterial infections and/or other complications. The vitamin A should be administered in all cases of measles severe. The virus in vitro is susceptible to Ribavirin aerosol, or intravenously. 6. WHAT ARE THE TESTS TO DO TO DIAGNOSE? The diagnosis is possible on the basis of the clinical history and symptoms. It is possible to perform serology specific as the standard tests to confirm the diagnosis. 7. AND' NECESSARY TO THE PATIENT? The shelter is highly recommended in subjects at risk of complications (e.g., immunosuppressed, infants, pregnant women, elderly people). 8. THERE IS A VACCINE FOR THE MEASLES? The vaccine exists and is a combined vaccine(Mmr: measles, mumps, and rubella) is safe. Serious side effects are very rare. Are some of the side effects as slight fever, redness or swelling of the glands of the neck and cheeks. ",136,"italy"
"6097","From the beginning of the year is recorded in Italy “a worrying increase in the number of cases of measles. To the front of the 844 reported in 2016, beginning of 2017 have already been registered more than 700, with an increase of over 230% compared to the same period of the previous year, in which there had been 220 cases. The majority were reported from only 4 Regions: Piemonte, Lazio, Lombardia and Toscana”. To launch the alarm is the ministry of Health, noting that “more than half of the cases concerned people aged 15 to 39 years, and were also notified several cases of transmission in health care and in health care workers”. “The measles – informs the dicastery, continue to circulate in our Country because of the presence of pockets of susceptible populations, are not vaccinated or who has not completed the vaccination cycle at 2 doses. This is largely due to the increasing number of parents who refuse the vaccination, despite the evidence established, and despite the measures of some Regions that tend to improve the covers, interacting with the families and parents.” It is necessary to “act quickly to give full application to the Floor of the vaccines,” says the minister Beatrice Lorenzin. “Despite the Plan for the elimination of measles started in 2005, and the vaccination against measles is among those that are highly recommended and free of charge – exact – in 2015, the vaccination coverage against measles in children at 24 months (cohort 2013) was 85,3% (with the lowest value equal to the 68% registered in the autonomous Province of Bolzano and the highest in Lombardy with the 92,3%), still far from the 95% that is the threshold value necessary to stop the circulation of the virus in the population.” “It is now vital – says Lorenzin – to intervene quickly with a commitment and a greater responsibility at all levels, from all of the institutions and of health professionals, to make this vaccination available, increasing the acceptance and demand from the population”. “Similarly, "" – adds the minister – to the regional governments and healthcare organizations, as well as pediatricians and general practitioners, need to promote a campaign of further accountability on the part of parents and of people is not immune to all ages, so you do not give up this vital opportunity to prevent a disease that can be lethal.” “The ministry – concludes – activate all possible steps to ensure the full realization of the objectives of the recent national Plan for the prevention, vaccination, and in order to regain quickly the vaccination coverage that have drooped dangerously over the last few years”.

"35012","Are cuarentones and many will be parents. But some it is recommended that you are vaccinated against the measles as if they were children. The Ministry of Health already made a couple of months advised that people born between 1970 and 1980, but passed the disease or are vaccinated, it is inmunicen. Pediatricians insist on the importance of complying with this recommendation for the personal benefit –not suffer from a disease that is preventable– and the community –so that the virus does not circulate and does not advance this condition–. But not all cuarentones have to be vaccinated. The Spanish Association of Vacunología clarifies that only should be immunized, adults 40 to 50 years old if you have not had the measles –because if you have already passed their remaining natural immunity for life– or if you have not been vaccinated against the disease with two doses. The doctors explain that if you do not remember these ends, they should ask their parents. “My mother is not agree what of it if I beef and what I have gone or I had been vaccinated in childhood?”, asks Angel, 45 years of age. The doctors explained that nothing happens in that case if you are being vaccinated for the second time. The reason for this recommendation of the health authorities and of the specialists is that it has been detected in Spain an increase in cases in this age group. The fact that the measles spike among people 40 to 50 years has its explanation epidemiological. Those who were born before the 70 does not need to be vaccinated because the normal thing is that will given that then there was no vaccine. And those who were born after the 80's in general are well immunized because it was already in motion, the vaccination calendar. But those who are between both segments of age –persons between the ages of 40 and 50 years– are at risk if not passed the pathology or were vaccinated in their time. In Malaga, before the vaccine, there were 1,344 and 5 cases per 100,000 inhabitants. In 2017 there was none Recently, the director of the Strategic Plan of Vaccinations for Andalusia, David Moreno, explained to Malaga Today:“There is an urgency because there is not an outbreak, but these people must remember and ask if the vaccinated or if they went over on measles and, if negative, get vaccinated.” Peter Navarro, pediatrician, expert in vaccines and a member of the board of directors of the College of Physicians, explains:“there is No cause for alarm. It is not a public health problem”. But he warns that although in Spain is considered eliminated, measles is no “isolated cases imported”, either by immigrants or travelers, and you can't let your guard down because the condition can reappear. “These people are just asking for an appointment and was given, as vaccine for children,” said Navarro. The shifts can be ordered at the health center or through Health Responds (955 54 50 60). The appeal to those born between 1970 and 1980 who have not been vaccinated or have passed the disease to you to get immunised will not only care for their personal protection [individual immunity], but for the collective [herd immunity]. It acts as a firewall that prevents the circulation of the virus.The chief of Pediatrics of the Hospital Quirónsalud Malaga, Manuel Baca, warning of a resurgence of measles, especially in countries of central europe, not only by the movements antivacunas but also by a certain abandonment of the population to which, as the disease is no longer seen by the effectiveness of the vaccines. “When you do not know the disease, the people you trust. But measles is not trivial. It can cause complications that can lead to death,” he warns. Why insist that people born between 1970 and 1980 who are not immunised –either by the vaccine or by having passed the measles– should be vaccinated. And also, that the parents must meet and complete with all their doses of the vaccination calendar. “Measles is not a disease banal, and is arranged with a pinchacito,” he said. “In these moments, the measles is exceptional and we are on time to get to remain unique,” he concluded.",136,"spain"
"11410","From the cycle: ""do Not let dulls"" This quote John. Orwell perfectly conveys the truth about medicine rockefellerowskiej. As is known, the property of R. Rockefeller rose from the oil, is sold as the best a cure for cancer. The horse at that time cost 10 dollars, and a bottle of oil on the cancer $ 35. Then it was in this world. There were synthetic drugs, which no one checked for sure, but having a monopoly on information, they could press shot ludkowi. Another stroke of genius by R. Rockefeller was the establishment of an organization attracting doctors practitioners, Doctors, to save on different kinds of Associations. And already the Acme of perfection was the introduction of coercion, things to Medical Wards. And for a long time Professor T. Kotrabiński said: ""In the relations of the organization the truth cursed is"" Every mass is niereformowalna. Always unit is the beginning and cause of changes. Therefore, the Latin civilization, so developed and attractive to peoples around the globe. Currently introduced Byzantine civilization in the liberation of Prussia, unfortunately, causes the complete enslavement of society and involving it to the role of Biological Robots. People should not think and work, but only to carry out instructions and procedures. What procedure they are wrong, it is the fault of the patient, which is not suitable for is not known who designed the procedure. The best proof here are the works of p. Dr. Deptulskiej-Adamcio, Press Secretary of the Regional Disciplinary Medical Chamber in Gdansk, which judgments can not think of any scientific work in support of his heavy thoughts, just based on the recommendations in some Societies, not knowing the conditions in which these principles have been formed and when. Well, not what he loves that he doesn't know. Let me remind you, Dr. R. Deptulska-Adamcio already 3 times trying to accuse me of actions contrary to current medical knowledge, but still did not answer, and not ustosunkowała to any of my conclusions. Even as straightforward and simple as to declare that it would not accept from pharmaceutical companies. Now, Dr. R. Adamcio -Deptulska and the whole Chamber of gdańsk, with his younger colleague, Dr. R. Budzińskim at the forefront, currently has a big problem, because the experts of the court Supreme Court Federal district in Germany, found that there is no research indicating the existence of the MEASLES virus. Well, we have a problem. Reviews forensics folding under oath, worldwide, are considered to be the truth niepodważoną. As you know, in court there are two parties, one for and the second against. If the experts one side present evidence convincing the court and the other side cannot refute, is that the question is clear and obvious to everyone, as something of an educated person. Here we must also take into account the disparity. On one side stands a lone scientist, Dr. Saint. Lanka, and the other corporations szczepionkarskie, having unlimited income from medical fraud. If in this situation the evidence presented by the lone scientist convinces the court more than the explanation of the opposite side, having millions of dollars, the situation must be unambiguous. That is, the measles vaccine is the cause of the autism epidemic in the world. In the United States have occurred over the 25 years, the growth of autism after the administration of the vaccine with 1 case in 10,000 births in 1 case of 46 delivery boys. Hence the resistance of the whole creation before applying the vaccine. Hence the emphasis on the Polish trolls on forced vaccinations with the MMR vaccine. Because care lose not szczepiąc. Therefore, the punishment of parents refusing vaccinations. After all, business is business. There, in the West, can't sell, they start here, i.e. in Poland, to use coercion. Society is more scared, poorer and easier to make. Hence the pressure chambers of doctors to Doctors przymusie vaccination. But from the very beginning. In 2011, R. Dr. Stefan Lanka has announced that gives a $ 100,000 reward to anyone who can prove - to present scientific work confirming the existence of the measles virus. Volunteered a drug. med David Bardens, representing 6 publications which are the official basis of the official existence of the measles virus. One of these works was the documentation of proven isolation of the virus of measles in a scientific experiment conducted in 1954 for the next Nobel laureate John F. Enders www.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.3181/00379727-86-21073 Now, I have to say that 1954 is a very sad year for medicine. At the same time bringing to market a vaccine against polio, which, allegedly, disease Heine-Medina [in the light of disclosed documents, it is not so obvious]. Salk developed his famous vaccine. According to current knowledge, should be recognized as a bigger killer than Stalin or Pol - Pot. This is not my statement, just from the American press. This vaccine is not enough, which contributed to the epidemic result in immunity to the virus, besides, it were infected with the carcinogenic SV-40. They knew about it in 1960. Despite this, Central Europe sold its 80 years old. of the last century. The last huge polio epidemic occurred in India after vaccination with virus szczepionkowym. Ill more than 61 700 children. Usually in India it was observed about 200 children. As you can see, neither the Chief Sanitary Inspector nor the State Department of Hygiene, supposedly standing guard over quality, among other things, vaccines, never to observe safety precautions. companies about the issue with the carcinogenic virus SV-40. What are they taking money? For more than 40 years banned the Polish children and, as can be seen in law-abiding countries no one suffered, therefore, because of this, I'm Not saying that such a mass genocide should immediately hang up, but, at least, should provide the public with the names of all the people involved in this dark. After all, these institutions, at least theoretically, paid from the taxpayer's pocket, but it turns out that they work against the taxpayer. Well, if we accept some karkołomną not confirmed the assumption that these grants from the who and trips to foreign conferences, to better calculate. Returning to the subject of non-existent MEASLES virus. The court appointed five experts, including Dr. A. Podbielskiego for the evaluation of the presented papers, allegedly proved the existence of the measles virus. The experts unanimously stated that these works do not fulfill the basic conditions for scientific work and therefore cannot be scientific proof of the existence of measles virus. The authors of these listed works wtręty phones shown in the photos, evaluated the measles virus. To date, no animals or people have not confirmed the presence of measles virus. From genetic studies clearly implies that the thesis about the existence of the measles virus have been scientifically refuted. So-called experts, public or corporate school have made mistakes in the ongoing research, intentionally or through ignorance. All works were published in so-called peer-reviewed journals, and artificially raise their credibility. Clearly this proves the thesis that the quality of the publications depends on the journal, and on the morality of the author. In connection with the so-called strong influence of the journals ""peer reviewed"", the likelihood of publishing fakes in such journals is, of course, more. Care through the purchase of advertising, ""decide for yourself"" the ability to publish correct from the point of view of trade, of the article. The school error of these publications, supposedly confirming the existence of the measles virus, it is the absence of any control experiments. Error this became the basis of belief in the existence chorobotwórczego virus. Drug. med. Sciences David Bardens tried to appeal to the SUPREME COURT, BUT THAT IN a FEW SIMPLE SENTENCES DISMISSED the APPEAL. The most interesting of all this is that even a leading authority in the field of Microbiology in Germany, the Robert Koch Institute, confirmed the lack of evidence for the existence of the measles virus. Prof. Mankertz, Director of the Institute acknowledged that what is called the measles virus, offers its guests the following components of natural cells. This explains why the measles vaccine containing all viruses cause many complications. Another blow to wakcynologów is the fact that the Institute, main office in Germany, was not able to create proper tests for presumptive measles virus. The funny thing is that the Institute has repeatedly argued that studies have shown the presence of the virus, but refused to show the results in court, and had never published these results. In other words, the whole damn thing with vaccination against measles, the famous MMR vaccine, it is pure hochsztaplerstwem and ordinary average stretch of an unconscious population. This is all the more shameful that is made from desire of profit, at the expense of health and life of young children. Therefore, it is typical for concentration camps, the action, the alleged intellectual elites. The case of MMR vaccination, in addition to show. employee of Merck showing that this vaccine causes autism. The work of Brian hooker analyzed the CDC's own data from 2003 proves there is no doubt that MMR causes autism. And we have a serious problem in Poland. We have a whole bunch of people posing as virologists, who either know nothing about the subject, or are deliberately hiding scientific evidence of the desire for profit. Don't know which is worse, but nieuka still possible to learn something, the scammer already not. These recently discovered documents clearly indicate that the actions of the Chief Sanitary inspector for the approach under the criminal Code, article 148 and on. Who deliberately endangers the health and lives... And Who does so out of desire for profit... Why GIS falls under the criminal code? Because he and his ""experts"" determine the immunization schedule and decide which vaccines and from whom to purchase. That they scare parents by fines and prison. These institutions smuggles in the Sejm of the law is absurd. If the GIS complied with statutory guidelines ,then immediately wstrzymałby additional vaccination against measles, at least to clarify the problem. The fact that GIS not only has not suspended these vaccinations, but hiding this thing in a drawer, very bad about it. So we'll wait and see what the MMR vaccine is removed from the immunization schedule, or not. If not, this is another direct proof that we are a colony of the concerns of the City of London Corporation and conduct experiments on us, just as it was done many years ago by Indians in Canada. I already wrote about this a couple of times. A significant difference lies in the fact that these experiments on the Polish children doing so-called "" Poles. Dr. J.

"2426","Measles is still far from being eradicated throughout the world. It is quite the opposite, since this disease is on the increase. More than 360 000 cases have been reported since January, the figures ""the highest"" since 2006, and almost three times more than for the same period last year, according to the world health Organization (WHO). The democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Madagascar and the Ukraine are the countries most affected. This return of the disease has led Thursday the international body to withdraw the United Kingdom, Greece, the Czech Republic and Albania their status as "" countries that have eliminated measles."" This disease characterized by the appearance of red spots on the skin was, before the arrival of the vaccines in the 1970s, a dreaded killer of children (between 7 and 8 million deaths estimated by year in the world). It is caused by a virus that spreads very easily by direct contact or through the air. This viral disease, which mainly affects children, but not only, is more contagious than Ebola, or the flu. After an incubation phase, the disease is characterized by a high fever, runny nose, cough, watery eyes... In a second time appear red spots. The disease is contagious four days before and after this eruption. Read also Sebastian The Fol - Measles : soon, a vaccine against stupidity ! Down until 2016 Often mild, measles can cause serious complications, respiratory (lung infections) and neurological (encephalitis), especially in frail people. There is no specific antiviral treatment and the care of the patient endeavours to treat complications. Health authorities worldwide insist on the importance of the vaccine, the level of the individual, but also collective : high vaccination coverage (95 % of the population) protects persons who cannot themselves be vaccinated, especially because of their weakened immune system (leukemia, treatment for anti-rejection after a transplant, etc). In the world, the number of deaths due to measles had decreased greatly since the beginning of the years 2000 through 2016, thanks to vaccination campaigns : the balance sheet WHO for 2016 was a state of 90 000 people, compared to 550 000 in 2000. But it is back up to 110 000 in 2017. According to the united Nations Fund for children (Unicef), 98 countries have reported a larger number of cases in 2018 than in 2017. Ten, including Ukraine, Brazil and France, were responsible for three-quarters of the total increase. Read also Béchillon - compulsory Vaccination : the Lights are in the syringe, The French are skeptical of vaccines In rich countries, this increase is largely attributed to a distrust of vaccines in general and MMR (measles/mumps/rubella) in particular. According to a global survey published in June, France takes the lead of this skepticism, with one in three respondents who do not believe that vaccines are safe. In this attitude of distrust, the home of the pioneer of vaccination Louis Pasteur is followed by the Gabon, Togo, Russia and Switzerland. A lot of"" anti-vax "" is based on a publication from 1998 linking the MMR vaccine and autism. However, it has been established that its author, the British Andrew Wakefield, had falsified his results, and many studies have since shown that the vaccine did not increase the risk of autism.

The girl of Taranto was hospitalized at the end of last week at the Ss Annunziata in Pediatrics. Then, in the face of a framework that is complicated, it has been decided to transfer at the ""Giovanni XXIII"" of Bari. In the meantime, the Epidemiology laboratory of the Polyclinic directed by professor Maria Chironna has confirmed the diagnosis of measles, and is taken on the network countermeasures.

First, the fact that he had been visited the emergency department of the Polyclinic in the same days of the outbreak of the epidemic at the beginning of November. Second, the circumstances related to his work (cashier at a supermarket), which, therefore, may have brought it in contact with a lot of people: measles is extremely infectious two days before the onset of symptoms. That's why the confirmation of the infection (arrived yesterday) has imposed to the Asl of Bari and the implementation of the immediate measures of prophylaxis. In the coming days, the epidemiological Observatory should issue a new bulletin relating to the situation of measles in Apulia. Are also ongoing investigations on the strain responsible for the outbreak of the beginning of November, the strain which seems to be endemic in Italy.

The judges of the Federal supreme court (BGH - Bundes Gerichtshof) confirmed in a recent decision, the measles virus does NOT exist. In addition to this, in the world, there are no scientific studies that would prove up to the date that the existence of such a virus. In fact, the question is, when they went to inject it in millions of the German people during a few decades, hundreds of millions of europeans and hundreds of millions of others around the world? According to the Federal Court for the Superior, she was sure to be a measles containing vaccine.

Two internationally renowned laboratories, including the institute of the world and a leader in genetics, came to give categóricamente, and independently of each other, getting exactly the same results, i.e., the measles virus does not exist. The supposed studies that claim the existence of a disease called measles, which have had the results submitted by the laboratories or by scientists who have either worked for, or with, the labs that had a direct or indirect interest in the sales of vaccines. The participants in the past have recognized erroneously, the parts of the cell as being part of the measles virus, and that is now known to have been a mistaken conclusion for these older participants. Of the judgment of the court, the easily and, of course, it can be concluded that all of the claims in the national and international level, on the suspicion of measles virus, infectivity of the measles in the ""safety"" of the immunisation against measles, under a legal point of view, and in the face of an approach is truly scientific-they have absolutely no support. The pharmaceutical industry is not willing to scale back on the huge fabulous profits from the sales of the pseudo-vaccine, nothing more, they have made so far, and for decades to sell us a pig in a poke. Now, there are more and more people are lucid relating to the jurisdiction of the courts in exposing the fraud of the pharmaceutical industry. Those who don't remember, the famous scientist, Louis Pasteur? It is now well established that the First copied many of the works of Béchamp, and even falsificava the results of their experiments.

""An investigation revealed that Andrew Wakefield was in a situation of conflict of interest since the study was commissioned in order to support a legal action and that the parents of the children surveyed had been recruited through militant anti-vaccination. In the Face of these revelations, the scientific journal was finally finished by removing the article. Tests performed on children at risk Since in Europe and America, other works have concluded that there was no link between the vaccine for measles and autism. Today a new study by Danish researchers on 650,000 kids born between 1999 and 2010 confirms this. This is the widest study ever conducted on this subject. ""The peculiarity of this study is that they included children at high risk of autism, that is to say, for example, born of a father or mother and child(e), or exposed to tobacco smoke during pregnancy,"" explains Nicolas Dauby. ""This study has however shown that even in these high-risk children, there was no link between vaccination measles, rubella or mumps, and the develop of autism during infancy,"" concludes Nicolas Dauby. Currently, measles is on the increase. In 2018, about 80,000 cases were reported in Europe, and 35 people died.",133,"belgium"
"2412","The current trend of "" fear an epidemic of significant "", according to the director general of Health, Jerome Solomon. ""It is necessary to reach a target of 95% vaccination coverage in people at risk,"" he emphasised. In February, the health services have identified an explosion of the spread of the virus, with the death of a young woman of 32 years old, never vaccinated. Measles, a highly contagious disease, is experiencing a new epidemic in France. The vaccine again mandatory in 2018, Who are they ? The people, born after 1980, who have not been vaccinated.The MMR vaccine (measles, mumps, rubella), ""recommended"" in recent decades, is again mandatory for children born on or after January 1, 2018. A coverage rate of the vaccine to be insufficient today, in France, the rate of coverage varies according to the departments of 62% to 88%. Contrary to popular belief, the vaccine has never caused death or serious sequelae to any person. In contrast, the measles each year leads to one or more dead – always in patients not vaccinated or whose vaccination is not complete (two doses). The health authorities wish to a generalised vaccination to control the disease.",133,"france"
"2414","Who should be vaccinated ? All children born on or after January 1, 2018 must be vaccinated against measles through the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR). The first dose should be administered from 12 months, the second between 16 and 18 months. Any child not vaccinated can be denied in a community. Parents who refuse the mandatory vaccinations for their children are liable to a sentence of 6 months imprisonment and 3 750 € fine. Who can get hib disease ? The vaccine is also recommended for adults because measles can occur at any age, if you have not been vaccinated or if you have not already had. And in more than 15 years, in half of all cases, hospitalization is required. Is it effective ? Yes. The vaccine protects against the disease in nearly 100 % of cases after two doses. The disease could be eradicated if everyone was vaccinated. The vaccine is free ? Health Insurance takes care of 100% of the two doses of the MMR vaccine for children and young people up to 17 years. For all other insured persons, the vaccine is reimbursed at 65 % by medicare, the additional being charged to take over for the remaining 35%. The act of injection, by the physician is supported in terms of consultations and medical acts. What are the symptoms ? Buttons, fever, exhaustion. The diagnosis of the doctors is easy. How to transmit the disease ? Measles is a highly contagious infection, caused by a virus that is transmitted from one person to another by air (sneezing, coughing) or contact with secretions (saliva, hands on a contaminated object...). People who are infected can transmit the disease from five days before to five days after the appearance of "" buttons "". What to do if someone in the entourage ? For pregnant women and people over the age of 15, hospitalization is recommended. Why the virus is spreading ? The rate of vaccination coverage remains insufficient in France in the 15-35 years and in infants. Unlike their neighbours in Latin or germanic, the French show a growing scepticism in the face of the vaccines : according to a survey published in October 2016, only 69 % of respondents said that they trust the vaccination. In New Aquitaine, where a 32 year old woman died (in Poitiers), the immunization coverage rates are low, and errors of diagnosis have been committed at the beginning of the epidemic, suddenly, quickly spread.",133,"france"

In January, the reported cases have been 4.302, an increase of 122% compared to the same month in 2018. The ministry of Health of the asian Country said in recent days that there is a real emergency, with outbreaks in several areas. Only in Manila, populated by about 12 million people, many of whom are poor and forced to live within shanty towns scattered in the outskirts of the city, the cases of infection were 126 and have led to the death of 55 children under the age of one year. On the 5th of February last, at least 248 children and 21 adults were treated for measles at the Medical Center Hospital Special Infectious Diseases of the capital. The majority of deaths that are confirmed are for children aged between three months and four years.

The immunity of the population can only be achieved if more than 95% of the residents were vaccinated. According to Unicef, only 55 percent of the filipino people has performed prophylaxis, with a decrease of 15% compared to the year 2018. And the fear is, above all, for the 2.6 million children under the age of 5 years who have not run the vaccine. Lotta Sylwander, Unicef representative in the Philippines, has said that it is ""deeply concerned about the epidemic."" ""We are seeing the national government in a campaign of emergency vaccination. The infant death caused by a disease preventable by the vaccine, is unacceptable,"" he said. The philippines: collapse of the vaccinations of the children in The Philippines have seen a decline in vaccination against measles in the last ten years, from over 80% in 2008 to just over 60% in 2017. Consequently, many children have become susceptible to infection.

The information campaign of the Government of the Philippines The government, precisely for this, has started a campaign. The order came directly from president Rodrigo Duterte. The objective is to convince parents to vaccinate their children, to avoid the contagion of the virus from spreading to the most. Over the last few years, many families did not vaccinate their children after that there were some complications related to the experimental vaccine against dengue fever (Dengvaxia), a viral disease of tropical and sub-tropical transmitted by mosquitoes.",132,"italy"

Globally, 98 countries had more cases of measles in 2018 compared to 2017, which overshadowed the progress against this disease is highly preventable, but potentially deadly. In particular, Ukraine, the Philippines, and Brazil experienced the largest increases in measles cases between the years 2017 and 2018. Only in Ukraine, there were 20120 cases of measles in 2018 and, according to the Ukrainian government, other 24.042 people were infected only in the first two months of 2019. So far this year, in the Philippines there have been 12.736 measles cases and 203 deaths, in comparison with 15.599 cases around 2018. ""This is a wake-up call. We have a safe vaccine, effective against a highly contagious disease, a vaccine that has saved nearly a million lives each year in the last two decades. These cases have not occurred overnight. As well as the major outbreaks that we are seeing today gained a foothold in 2018, the lack of action today will have disastrous consequences for the children of tomorrow"", declares the executive director of UNICEF, Henrietta H. Fore. Measles is highly contagious, more than the Ebola, tuberculosis or the flu, and the virus can be contracted by anyone up to two hours after an infected person has left a room. It spreads through the air and infects the respiratory tract, killing potentially malnourished children or babies too young to be vaccinated. Once infected, there is no specific treatment for measles, so the vaccination is a tool that saves lives for kids. In response to these outbreaks, UNICEF and its partners are supporting governments to reach out with urgency, millions of children in countries around the world. For example, in Ukraine, UNICEF has provided continuous support to accelerate routine immunization in the entire country and address the indecision of vaccination, including additional efforts to stop the latest outbreak that has claimed 30 lives since 2017. Also, in the Philippines, the Government, with the support of UNICEF and its partners, will carry out a campaign to vaccinate 9 million children against polio and measles in 17 regions. Using the social networks, the activists plan to encourage parents apprehensive and and health workers. In Brazil, from August to September, 2018, the Executive carried out a campaign against polio and measles, led to more than 11 million children under the age of five years. In addition, UNICEF encouraged people to get vaccinated and trained health volunteers who work in shelters for migrants to venezuelans. UNICEF has included the vaccine against measles as part of the program of the 'Seal City' that covers 1.924 municipalities. In Yemen, where years of conflict resulted in an outbreak, the local authorities with the support of UNICEF, WHO and GAVI the vaccine to more than 11.5 million children in February. In Madagascar, from September 3 to February 21, 76.871 people were infected by measles and 928 were killed, the majority of which were children, while in January, the country, with the support of partners such as UNICEF, has launched an immunization campaign to attack the 114 districts, thanks to which more than 2 million children were immunized in 25 districts. In February, 1.4 million children were vaccinated, and a further 3.9 million more in march. ""The poor infrastructure of health, civil conflict, low community awareness, complacency and hesitation of vaccines in some cases have led to the occurrence of these outbreaks in both developed countries as in developing countries. For example, in the united States, the number of measles cases increased six-fold between 2017 and 2018, reaching 791 cases"", UNICEF warns. Almost all of these cases can be prevented, and, however, the children are infecting even in places where ""there is simply no excuse.""

Research shows that measles “resets” the immune system, reducing it to an “immature baby-like state” with a limited ability to respond to diseases.  After catching the virus children can show signs of immune suppression for up to five years. In some cases the effect is comparable to being dosed with strong immunosuppressant drugs. Scientists say the study helps to explain why children often catch other diseases after measles and highlights the importance of the MMR vaccination.

But only 7 of the 29 european countries have reached this objective by 2017. The European Union had not experienced such an outbreak of measles since 2011. Last year, the countries of the area have reported 14.600 cases, including 37 deaths, according to a surveillance report published on 23 April by the european Centre for prevention and disease control. It is three times more than in 2016. At the head of the most affected countries is Romania (5608 cases), followed closely by Italy (5098 cases), followed by Greece (967 cases), and Germany (929 cases). France, it comes in fifth position with 339 cases. A ranking could be upset this year, since france already has more than 1,700 reported cases since the month of January. 87% of those ill were not vaccinated, What was the profile of people who are sick? According to the report, it was predominantly children under 5 years of age and adults 20 years and older. The vast majority of these individuals was not vaccinated (87%) and only a small proportion had received a dose of the vaccine (8%) or two (5%). Gold with a single dose, it is still possible to catch this highly contagious disease and pass it on to other people. In reality, two doses are required to effectively protect against measles. The report also stresses that children under the age of one year have been particularly affected. And for cause: too young to be vaccinated, protection is only dependent on the herd immunity, which is put in place when at least 95% of the population has received two doses of vaccine. It is on this condition alone that the virus circulation may be interrupted. 22 countries with inadequate immunization coverage Gold in 2017, on the 29 countries in the European Union, only 13 have achieved a satisfactory level of vaccination coverage for the first dose, and only 7 (Spain, Portugal, Slovakia, Hungary, Croatia, Sweden, Iceland) for the second dose. France, it is below the goal of 95% vaccination coverage for the first or for the second dose. In 2017, only 9 countries of the euro area have managed to stop the circulation of the virus. Very contagious, take advantage of areas where vaccination coverage is frail to spread. Why the threshold of 95% of vaccinated persons is not reached in the majority of countries? According to the WHO, it can be a refusal of vaccination, inequitable access to vaccines or even the inability to be vaccinated because of contraindications, such as taking medications weakening the immune system. Finally, some people are unaware if they have actually received two doses of the vaccine. If in doubt, it is quite possible to be vaccinated without risk to health, even after receiving multiple vaccinations.

"3841","""What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger,"" is a typical Argument of Impfgegnern. Let your children against the measles vaccination, so that these infected with the Virus. Sometimes be held even ""measles parties"". The idea: Who has the measles once, and is thereafter immune. And have more side effects than the vaccine will not have the disease. But this is wrong. Not only that, parents take in order to potentially deadly consequences of late by the Virus in the time of purchase. The measles also weaken the immune system permanently and make Sufferers more vulnerable to various infections. Now, researchers have gained new insights about how the Virus uses the body's immune system checkmate. It is widely known that measles can weaken the immune system temporarily. Studies show that measles sufferers are more prone to infections and can die. When there was no measles vaccine, could even go every second case of death by an infectious disease as a result of measles with a paralyzed immune system back, researchers estimate. As the cause you suspect that there is a kind of loss of memory of the immune system. How, exactly, the Virus weakens the defence, was, however, unclear. Two research groups, the question with different methods. The Team of Michael Mina from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute in Boston under the blood samples of 77 unvaccinated children from the Netherlands two months before and after a measles infection. The children were four to 17 years old and had previously not had measles. ""Almost as defenseless as newborns,"" The researchers used a relatively new and particularly sensitive method. Using only a drop of blood can determine which virus the children and young people had to do in your previous life. The works, by the Test anti-body against various pathogens in the blood. Antibodies are proteins made by immune cells in response to pathogens. The body with the same Virus comes again in contact, can make the antibodies quickly harmless. They form the memory of the immune system. The analysis of the blood showed before and after the measles disease, that the virus had died from the protective antibodies of the children in a row there. In just two months, they lost eleven to 73 percent of the diversity of the immune protection that your immune system in the course of life had built up. Although antibodies were found against the measles, but those against various other pathogens were not there. Even when the children had fully recovered from the measles, these antibodies disappeared, like the scientists in the journal ""Science"" writing. ""Some of these kids are almost as defenseless as a newborn,"" said Stephen Elledge, co-author of the study, a communication from his University, according to. In a second step, the researchers infected rhesus monkeys with a measles-like Virus. To five months after infection, 40 to 60 percent of the contactor remained anti-body disappeared. Elledge thinks that the children could be expected that similar results would be examined again five months after infection, because it seems to take a while to disappear from the blood. The Virus kills the memory cells In further studies, a research team led by Velislava Petrova from the Wellcome Sanger Institute in Cambridge, UK, examined the blood samples of 26 of the 77 Dutch children. They concentrated on the B-immune cells, the antibodies for the immune response to produce. They publish their results in the magazine ""Science Immunology"". They found that after infection, the diversity of this memory is lost, cells – and thus, as it were, the reminder of the body's immune system. The reason is that the measles virus infects its host cells via a surface structure on T - and B-memory cells, and the cells destroyed. This was also confirmed in an experiment with ferrets that had been vaccinated, the researchers against the flu. After the animals with the measles virus-infected, were significantly more susceptible to the flu virus than before. Her immune system had been forgotten by the measles infection, as it is on the flu virus to respond to. When Vaccinated, the researchers found the effect not To have the memory to build up, the body again with the agents in contact. He must learn to fight the viruses, though he could actually ever – before the measles disease. This can take months or years, as the researchers write. In children who were vaccinated against Mumps, measles and rubella (MMR), not the researchers found the loss of memory of the immune system against it. On the contrary, The defense of small children, the vaccination is even stronger. In adults, there is not a detailed investigation so far. But it should not be assumed ""that the measles vaccination in other age groups to have a negative effect on the immune system,"" says Johannes Trück from the University children's hospital Zurich. Rather, the body can compensate for the by the measles-induced immune weakness is probably worse than in childhood. ""This Work is to underline once more, that measles is a dangerous disease that weakens even in the case of an uncomplicated course of the immune system over the years,“ says Richard Neher from the University of Basel. To not vaccinate children for ideological reasons against the measles, is irresponsible. The results of the vaccination, the more valuable it Originally, WHO wanted to eliminate measles by 2020. However, although the number of measles deaths declined as a result of the vaccination in the period from 2000 to 2017 by about 80 percent, the development is now again in the opposite direction. Worldwide, the highest level since 2006 have been reported in the first half of 2019, three times as many cases as in the same period of the previous year. In the year 2017, approximately 110,000 people died of the measles. Most of them are children under five years of age. Especially people in poorer countries could benefit from the vaccination. Because they are often weakened by malnutrition, are at risk of immune deficiency due to a measles infection particularly. ""The Virus is much more harmful than we thought,"" says co-author Stephen Elledge. The make the vaccine even more valuable. But in this country people against the measles are not sufficiently vaccinated. Also, there are still parents that all the vaccine-Appeals go unheard. Especially for those of you who sacrifice your children to the MMR vaccination, but there are still a punch line: ""children who are not vaccinated against MMR and with measles can infect, you need to get the previous vaccinations again,"" says Elledge. For example, against Tetanus, diphtheria or whooping cough – compared to these infections could former measles sufferers be more vulnerable. This is because your immune system may have forgotten the by the vaccination, the resulting protective effect. A child gets for example with a three years measles, then it would need the previously administered in Six vaccination again. (with smc)",129,"germany"

The first symptoms are similar to those of a cold (dry cough, runny nose, conjunctivitis) with a fever that becomes more and more high. Then appear white spots inside the mouth. Complications are relatively rare, and are mainly due to super-infections from bacterial. The infection occurs through nasal secretions, and pharyngeal, probably by air through respiratory droplets that spread in the air when a sick person coughs or sneezes.

Measles is a viral infection, a potentially serious and highly contagious (each patient can infect up to 20 people) by air either directly from a patient or indirectly as a result of the persistence of the virus in the air. The rash lasts 5 to 6 days, the complex shapes are more frequent in patients aged less than 1 year and more than 20 years. They may require hospitalization for pneumonia or serious neurological complications, up to death. The phase of contagiousness starts the day before the first symptoms appear, and extends up to 5 days after the beginning of the appearance of the buttons. Only medication to relieve the symptoms of measles can be given, because there is no treatment to cure this disease. By contrast, there is a vaccine that can limit the spread of this disease and avoid serious complications. For this, it is imperative to check your vaccination status because only vaccination can protect you but also protect others (especially children under the age of 1 year, and immunocompromised persons who may not benefit from vaccination).

This year alone, more than 700 cases were reported. This is the highest number of cases since 1994. According to CNN, the measles were declared in the year 2000 in the United States for eradicated. Measles are prevalent worldwide and particularly common in Asia and Africa. They are transmitted via droplet infection, for example coughing, Sneezing, or Talking. If left untreated, it can come in measles complications, which can even be fatal. Sources: ""The St. Lucia Times"", NBC, CNN, Robert-Koch-Institute, Scientology, Germany",128,"germany"

"6096","You have to take the risk of dying of measles? The Health minister Giulia Grillo (M5S), in an interview to the Corriere della Sera Wednesday, August 8, he spoke of vaccines, obligations, possible future developments in legislation and regulations to be complied with for the registration of schools: the arguments of a controversy on the obligation of vaccination that goes on in Italy for months now. The last episode was an amendment of a few lines made by the majority of the “decreto Lorenzin” - that, in June 2017, had introduced the requirement of ten vaccinations as a precondition to be able to enrol their children in school. The amendment, approved in the constitutional Affairs Committee of the Senate on August 2 by the M5S and the League, refer-a-year obligation to submit the certificate of confirmation of vaccinations for school enrollment. The legislative text is technically part of the ""Milleproroghe"" and must still be approved by the Chamber. Roberto Burioni, doctor, researcher and virologist committed against the misinformation on vaccines, had sent a challenge to the minister, writing on Twitter on 4 August that, with the legislative process is put in place, the first death caused by measles, the exponent of the Movement 5 Stars would be ""rightly torn by public opinion"". During the interview with the Courier, in response to the provocation, the minister said that we must in some way accept the deaths from measles and that we should ""deceive"" the population that this can no longer happen. His statement has caused an access debate, which has involved politicians and clinicians. His words were: ""But it is also an unfortunate manipulation or being told by an academic that ""I'll be torn, the first dead."" You can not deceive the people that they will not die nobody. We have to be realistic"". But what is the situation of the spread of measles, in Italy and elsewhere? Measles: what are we talking about? Measles is an infectious disease and contagious disease that mostly affects children between the ages of one and three years, but which, if widespread, does not spare the adults. The transmission takes place only between humans. It is a disease that gives an immunization final: this means that, once contracted, is the minimum the risk of riammalarsi in the course of life. In Italy, the infection must be brought to the attention of the health authorities, through mandatory reporting of cases - because in our Country, measles is a disease endemic: that is, is constantly present in the national territory, with periodic epidemics. As regards vaccination, a vaccine against measles, mumps and rubella (Mpr). It is suggested the administration of two doses: the first within the 24th month of life, and the second between 5-6 years or 11-12 years. As reported by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), an independent agency of the European Union that monitors the spread and development of infectious diseases, to combat the epidemics and the transmission of the measles, at least 95% of the population must be vaccinated with double dose. Italy, like other Countries, is below this threshold, putting at risk the so-called immunity of the flock: namely, the fact that even those who can not vaccinate for their particular health conditions - such as the weakness of the immune system - is “protected” from the vaccination of others. The spread of measles in Italy in order To understand the extent of the phenomenon in our Country, we refer to the most recent report, “Measles and rubella"" shared by the Istituto Superiore di Sanita (ISS) and published in July 2018. In Italy, during the first six months of the year, were recorded 2.029 reports of measles. The 89,4% of the cases occurred in seven Italian regions: Sicily, Lazio, Calabria, Lombardy, Campania, Emilia-Romagna and Tuscany. According to the report, 91.3% of those who have contracted the disease was not vaccinated and 5.4% had been administered a single dose. These data imply that only a minority of the sick, equal to about 3.3%, and has contracted the disease despite being vaccinated. By January 2018, the national Institute of Health reports that a total of four deaths. None of the victims was immunized. These first outlines only the scenario of the last six months. Let's look at the numbers of the last few years. The report compares the data collected from January 2013 to June 2018. Have been reported, in total, 12.524 cases of measles, broken down as follows: 2.280 in 2013, 1,696 in 2014, 257 in 2015, 861 in 2016, 5.401 in 2017 and concerning 2,019 in the first six months of 2018. Of the total of reports, 71.4% (equal to approximately 8.942 cases) was confirmed in the laboratory. It is evident that there is a growth of the signals and of their respective cases, between 2016 and 2017*. As reported by the Ministry of Health, starting from the beginning of 2017 registers an increase of 230% for only the first few months of the year compared to the same period of the previous year. The main causes of the spread of the epidemic are to be identified in the ""presence of pockets of susceptible populations, are not vaccinated or who has not completed the vaccination cycle at both doses"". This is due to the ""increasing number of parents who refuse the vaccination, despite the evidence established, and despite the measures of some regions that tend to improve the covers, interacting with the families and parents."" We are the only ones to get sick? We now compare the Italian situation with that of the rest of the world. The World Health Organization (WHO), known internationally as the World Health Organization is the United Nations agency that deals with issues of general health. Italy has joined in 1947 by sharing, with other member States, the objective that aims to ""the attainment by all peoples of the highest possible level of health"". Data on the incidence of measles in different Countries of the world show how, in the period between may 2017 and April 2018, Italy has been among the ten Countries in the world where the disease has had the highest incidence. The preceding nations such as India, Ukraine, Nigeria, the Philippines, Indonesia, Pakistan, Serbia and China. Are all geographic areas with a population density higher than that of italy or in the conditions of socio-economic development and health are lower. These reflections do not aggravate the situation of our Country. Also the european data confirm this. Among the various activities carried out by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), there is also the sharing of a report that, on a weekly basis, face clarity on the “state of health” in europe. The most recent report on communicable diseases which includes measles is the week that goes from 8 to 14 July 2018. Here is the law that the cases of measles (English measles) are mostly among the non-vaccinated population. There are reported outbreaks of measles in the act, as well as in Italy, also in the Czech Republic, Croatia, France, Greece, Romania, Slovakia and the United Kingdom. From the beginning of the year to 13 July 2018, it speaks of 31 deaths from measles within the european Union. In the same period of time, the member States with the highest number of cases are Romania, France, Greece and Italy. Our Country is in second place for the number of deaths: data failures are reported only from Romania. Outside of the European Union, the most serious case is that of Ukraine that has registered only for the first six months of this year, 25,000 cases and 12 victims. The free Countries from measles in The european region in which it operates, the World Health Organization, were 42 Countries (out of a total of 53) that, in the course of 2016, interrupted the endemic transmission of measles. This was shared on the occasion of the 6th Meeting of the European Regional Verification Commission for Measles and Rubella Elimination (RVC), held in Bucharest in July 2017. As the figures show, at the time of the sharing of the report, in thirty-three Countries, the measles was considered to be eradicated, the epidemic was interrupted by the twelve months and the other seven interrupted by twenty-four months, while it was still endemic in nine countries. Among these, was also in Italy, where the majority of the cases of measles in Italy is endemic, and only a minority is “imported” or unknown. At the side of our Country, the other localities where it was recorded the presence of measles are Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, France, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Romania, Serbia and the Ukraine. In all other Countries, practices such as the administration of double vaccine have allowed the progressive end of the transmission of the disease (complete list here). In conclusion Today, measles is still a disease which is prevalent in our Country. Italy, according to data shared by the Istituto Superiore di Sanita and the comparison with the nations of the rest of the world, occupying the first positions to the spread of epidemics and the latest for the elimination of the disease. The majority of european Countries is working to eliminate measles by ensuring that its own population is vaccinated with a double dose, reaching the 95% of the cover and avoiding dangerous situations of contagion. * The report of the January 2018, which contains the data for the previous year, speaks of 4.991 cases of measles reported in 2017. As reported in the bulletin for the month of July 2018, with the figure for 2017 was updated to 5.041 because some cases have been reported in delay with respect to the publication of the data.",128,"italy"

Nine other European countries, including Italy and France, make the jab, which is given in two doses by the age of four, compulsory, said Dr Draeger, a sexual health expert and medical writer.  Some 30 per cent more kids had been vaccinated in Italy since the law was changed there. Legislation in Australia has also led to thousands more having the jab, she said.  She added that although “many parents wrongly believe the rhetoric that vaccines are harmful, unnatural and an infringement of civil liberties”, a no jab, no school rule would give parents freedom of choice, while protecting other youngsters from infection.  Fake news on social media to blame  Health secretary Matt Hancock has said that he is “particularly worried” about fake posts on social media and last month refused to rule out mandatory jabs.  But other doctors argue that making the jab mandatory could erode trust in the NHS and turn parents against vaccination.  MEASLES: ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW MEASLES is a highly contagious viral illness that can be prevented by taking the MMR vaccine. While the infectious condition often clears up in under two weeks, it can sometimes lead to life-threatening complications. Public Health England has confirmed the UK has seen a rise in cases in 2018, with 643 confirmed cases of measles so far this year, compared to just 267 for the whole of 2017. Health experts have said it is part of a rise in cases across Europe. The illness is highly contagious and is easily spread from person to person. Viruses can be expelled when an infected person coughs or sneezing. These can then be inhaled by someone who comes into contact with droplets, which may remain in the air or settle on a surface. Spending just 15 minutes with someone who has measles can lead to the disease spreading. What are the symptoms? Approximately 10 days after the illness is contracted, signs become noticeable. The NHS outlines the initial symptoms of measles… cold-like symptoms, such as a runny nose, sneezing, and a cough  sore, red eyes that may be sensitive to light  a high temperature (fever), which may reach around 40C (104F)  small greyish-white spots on the inside of the cheeks A few days after these flu-like symptoms manifest, a rash often begins to appear. Distinctive red-brown blotches spring up on the body, typically beginning at the upper neck and spreading downwards. Severe complications can occur, including miscarriage in pregnant women, brain swelling and the risk of death from pneumonia.

He said: “Only when these components are in place should we consider mandatory vaccination.”  The MMR jab is free for adults and kids on the NHS.

The alarm of the Ministry of Health comes after numerous alerts of substantially all of the health organisations national and international, starting from the Who. Here's what the doctors and health institutions in fear, i watched special on the public health Share In countries like England, spiga, Gianni Rezza infettivologo of the Higher Institute of Health, the problem is so heard that there is a programme of vaccination of the mothers. In 2014 In Europe there were over 40 thousand reported cases of whooping cough, according to the latest epidemiology report annual ECDC (updated to July 7, 2016). The vaccination for pertussis (whooping cough) in Italy is included in the vaccine hexavalent chromium to the range of paediatric up to 12 months, in the later recall is mainly in combination with diphtheria and tetanus, explains Rocco Russo, a member of the technical committee on vaccines of the Italian Society of Pediatrics.- Diphtheria is an infectious disease acute caused by the bacterium Corynebacterium diphtheriae. Once entered in our body, this infectious agent releases a toxin that can damage or even destroy the organs and tissues. The organs involved vary depending on the type of bacterium: the most common affects the throat, the nose and sometimes the tonsils, while another type, mainly present in the tropics, causes ulcers on the skin. The vaccine has been available since 1920, but over the years of the second world war and even after it was one of the plagues the worst for infant mortality. Now there are outbreaks of diphtheria in Eastern Europe, where the vaccine coverage is low. The Federation of the orders of doctors does not preclude can get in Italy.- Polio is a serious infectious disease, load of the central nervous system that primarily affects the motor neurons in the spinal cord. First described by Michael Underwood, british physician, in 1789, polio was registered for the first time in epidemic form in Europe at the beginning of the NINETEENTH century and shortly after in the United States. The spread of polio reached a peak in the United States in 1952 with more than 21mila cases registered. In Italy, in 1958, were reported over 8 thousand cases. The last american case dates back to 1979, while in our country it has been notified in 1982. This is still in the Middle East and in Nigeria.

The controversy seemed to have subsided before the summer, when a government decree had imposed on families, at the time of enrolment of children in school, the self-certification printed by causing the outcry of the school managers, who had spoken of ""practice speech"" denouncing the inadequacy of the administrative system for the conduct of the procedure, in the absence of a national Registry of vaccines. Was the european commissioner of Health Vytenis Andriukaitis to relight the fuses on Thursday in Brussels talking about the Italian government's position in regard to the vexata quaestio. A question is still “heavy” if you think that with 9 cases for every 100 thousand inhabitants, Italy has, together with Greece and Romania, the negative record in Europe for the incidence of measles in the resident population. The average of the Eu, in fact, is 2.2 cases, as shown by the latest Oecd report on the quality of care in the Countries of the Community, where from may 2017 to may of last year, have been reported 13.475 cases of measles, an increasing number compared to the previous twelve months (when ill with the measles were 8.523 european citizens). ""The vaccination against this disease is very effective,"" said the Oecd – and the vast majority of people newly diagnosed were not vaccinated"".

""The main problem – he added – is that we are responsible for the protection of the lives of the children and guarantee the maximum possible access to care. It is a shame if we still have deaths of children due to measles: our duty is to solve the problem by the year 2020"".

According to the latest figures from the WHO, this disease, which is characterized by the ease of contagion, and is still making to people of all ages in many european countries and recorded, in 2017, a dramatic increase of 400%, about 21. 315 cases, among which 35 died, in front of a 5.273 in the previous year.

The rise in cases of measles during 2017 are reflected in major outbreaks, of 100 or more cases, in 15 of the 53 countries in the european region, including Russia. Romania is the most affected country, with 5.562 cases, followed by Italy with 5006 and Ukraine with 4767 probably because of the significant cuts sustained during the past few years in the vaccination campaigns. Espanano figure in the list of the countries most affected, as in other countries, such as Greece where there were some 967 cases, the infectious outbreaks were common. We also detected numerous infections in Germany, with 927 cases, or in Serbia, Tajikistan, and France, where there were 702, 649 and 520 respectively. Before the risk was thought that it came only from outside, from countries without the economic ability to vaccinate its population. Now WHO will question if the danger is in Europe. Experts such as Jacques Kremer and Claude Muller have been warned that you have to start to count the number of cases of measles that is exported by Europe to countries with weak health systems and high rates of mortality and not the other way around. Having measles not only means to be filled with red spots and blisters on the body. This disease can have serious consequences on the health of the patient and cause death by numerous infectious complications, respiratory and neurological that can cause, especially if it is an adult who contracts this disease in children. The WHO warns that an infected person can infect up to 100 people of his eternal and that to avoid it the best protection is vaccination. In addition, recommends that all children and young people adults should be vaccinated because the vaccine is effective and protects, in most cases, of the disease at 100% if administered the two doses prescribed. All of the doses, This aspect is very important and health experts insist that in the vaccination card must be mentioned the two doses already that the problems of infection appear, with frequency, if you have not come to administer the second dose. In addition, the health authorities remind us that if you've been in contact with a person with measles must be vaccinated within 72 hours as a preventative measure. At the beginning of the infection the symptoms of measles are similar to those of a cold : cough, fever above 38.5°, a runny nose and red eyes. Then the clinical picture worsens and appear a few small pimples or rash that starts in head and then extend to the rest of the body. According to the WHO, are taking different measures to curb the outbreaks that currently exist and to prevent the arising new through measures of public awareness and information targeted to the population of the main countries affected. In addition, it is facilitating the access to vaccines and improving the logistical support. The publication of data on measles in Europe have been published by the health agency of the UN with a view to the forthcoming meeting of ministers of health which will be held this February 20, in Montenegro.

"15710","What is it about? Measles is an infection caused by a virus, which is transmitted only between human beings. It is a highly contagious disease, which is why it is easy to appear outbreaks/epidemics, where the virus is contact with persons at risk. What are the symptoms? In the early days of the disease appear symptoms are little specific and in this phase, it is called, and the “prodrome”: – Fever, Many times the temperature is very high, often reaching values above 40 ° c mark. If it lasts for more than 4 days without a notion of improvement, it may mean that you are coming to a complication of the disease. – He is The fulfillment of the state in general, it is remarkable that it will make the infected people are in care and with a clearly “patient”. – Red-eye/conjunctivitis Is a typical picture of the disease. The eyes are very red, and often appear difficult to handle in the light. It usually does not appear purulent secretions in the eye. – Obstruction of the nose, and a cough, As this is a respiratory infection, it is frequent to appear all manifestations of the pursuit of the upper airway At the end of the 2-4 days of the disease are the red spots on the skin. This starts with the face, and extending gradually to the trunk and the lower limbs. Many times, they eventually come together, merging into each other, and taking a look more broadly across the skin. It is for A duration of 6 to 7 days, with progressive improvement since the 2nd day. About 1 or 2 days before you may see the spots appear a few points are off-white inside of the mouth usually on the inside of the cheeks. These are very characteristic of measles and is very helpful in diagnosis, although they may not be present in every case, and it may not always be easy to spot. How it is diagnosed? The suspicion of the virus is diagnosed based on the symptoms presented, and, if there is any contact with a case of the measles, which makes it a lot more likely to happen. In addition, to confirm the exact is always to be searched, and the measles virus in the secretions, as it is just to detect them in the laboratory allows for a diagnosis to be sure. How is it that, if you can still get the measles? The transmission is by contact with respiratory droplets from infected individuals, either directly or through contaminated objects. The incubation period ranges from 6 to 21 days. The main risk groups for this disease are very small babies, who can't be vaccinated, those people who are not vaccinated or that have a schema of incomplete immunization, and immunocompromised. What are the possible complications? In spite of being a viral disease, and that, in the majority of cases, it resolves spontaneously and the mortality rate of measles can be up to 4 to 10% in some specific groups of people. Complications the most important of which are the following: – Pneumonia is the main cause of death among children in connection with measles. It should be suspected whenever the fever lasts for more than 4 days without any sense of improving, if there are any signs of difficulty breathing or listening to the lung to do so. – The diarrhoea Is very frequent and, in some cases, it can affect a state of dehydration of the individual concerned. – Opportunistic infections, The measles virus can cause a certain degree of decrease in immune systems, so that you can predispôr to the emergence of another type of infection. – Neurological disorders reach the brain in this disease, can arise even in the acute phase, or later at any time. This type of complication has a high mortality and is likely to also be high to cause effects. One type that is particularly serious neurological complication is the panencefalite cholangitis sub-acute, that is, a neurodegenerative disease, a progressive and always fatal. It can appear up to 10 years after the date of the illness, which makes it even more awesome. The at-risk groups for developing complications and the immune-compromised, pregnant women, the infants, the elderly, and all of the people who can't be vaccinated. How can you prevent it? The best and most effective way to prevent measles is through vaccination. The vaccine is highly effective and will dramatically reduce the likelihood of developing the disease. In addition, in the case of the emergence of the disease in the vaccinated individuals, it is often a weakened form of the measles, the least serious, and with a very low risk of complications. The best example of the effectiveness of the vaccine is the limited number of cases that we have had in the Uk compared with other countries where the vaccination rates are much lower than in the us. For this reason, it is ESSENTIAL that all of the people to be able to confirm the immunization status and to seek information from their doctors about the need for a possible to get the vaccine.

"42512","""In accordance with the objectives set by the World Health Organization, the measles should have been eliminated in the european region in the year 2000"". The statement of the Commissioner of Health and EU Food Safety, Vytenis Andriukaitis, will be done on the same day in which the European Centre of Disease Control (ECDC, for its acronym in English) re-launch the voice of alert about the measles epidemic that is suffering from the EU, with more than 44,000 cases in the last three years, and on the high number of young people without the ability to immunize more than 4.5 million. ""These figures are unacceptable, especially taking into account that there is an effective vaccine against the disease since the sixties,"" says Andriukaitis. After the warning launched just weeks ago by the WHO about the increase of cases in the whole european region, including Russia, Turkey and all the former soviet republics, the new report from the ECDC focuses its attention in the EU, where they have been notified 44.074 cases and 84 deaths between 1 January 2016 and 31 march. The situation has worsened considerably compared to the period between 2012 and 2016, when the number of cases decreased by up to 4.642. However, in 2017 and 2018, the cases increased by a factor of four, exceeding 18,000 and 17,000 respectively. In the first three months of 2019 were notified a total of 3.841 and, according to the assessment of epidemiological, the risk of further spread of measles in the near future remains high, especially due to the decline in vaccination rates that has occurred in recent years. ""There has been a resurgence of measles in the EU and a high risk of circulation, widespread and ongoing will continue to exist as long as there are significant gaps in immunization,"" the report said. The number of countries that have achieved WHO's target of a vaccination coverage of 95% for two doses of the vaccine, the percentage needed to contain the disease and eradicate it in the future, has decreased significantly over the past few years. If in the year 2007, 14 countries were found to meet this recommendation, in 2017, this target was only reached by four states of the union: Portugal, Slovakia, Sweden and Hungary. In Spain, which has high vaccination coverage and rates of infection for measles lowest in the EU, have been recorded 457 cases in the last three years, of which 224 occurred in 2018, half of them due to an outbreak in the Community of Valencia. In the first three months of the year have been reported 37 new cases, according to data from the ECDC, although since last April they have produced new shoots in Barcelona, Madrid and Guadalajara, with almost 60 new cases, as reported by the daily The Country. Children and teens at risk for low coverage in some countries has resulted in more than 4.6 million people between the ages of 0 and 20 years are not immunized against measles in the EU. The number of unvaccinated people is especially high in those countries in which the disease is still endemic, such as Italy, with more than a million young people without immunize, or France and Germany, where the figure is around half a million. In Spain, the figure is less than 270,000. ""Measles remains a threat to health across the EU and, because not yet reached the global goals for vaccination, 4.5 million children and adolescents under the age of 20 years are at an unnecessary risk of contracting this disease,"" says the director of the European Centre for Disease Control, Andrea Ammon. ""This number equates to almost all children born in a year in the EU"". The report also shows how the average age of cases in the EU has increased steadily in the last decade, going from 10 years in 2009 to 17 in 2019. Adults of 20 years or more accounted for 35% of reported cases between 2016 and 2019, although infants remain the sector of age most affected, with almost half of all recorded deaths from measles. A cross-border venture despite the fact that the majority of the countries that have interrupted endemic transmission, the report has described the disease as ""a serious threat to cross-border healthcare in the EU"", since there is a significant number of cases that are due to movements within the union, primarily from those countries in which measles is endemic, such as Belgium, France, Germany, Italy and Romania. However, the report highlights some States that are considered to be eliminated measles within its borders have also exported a constant number of cases to other countries, especially the Uk, with 52 cases, and Spain, with 39. The report affirms that ""immunization is the only measure of effective preventive against measles"" and that ""you need two doses to ensure the best protection"" to return to control the disease and eradicate it permanently in the EU. ""The immediate priority is a program of routine vaccination of high-quality that ensures a coverage of at least 95% between the recipients.""",124,"spain"

"15610","Hello there:) in the light of the news about the outbreak of measles in the country, I have come to give you some explanations and guidelines, hoping to be reassuring and guiding. In April of that year passed in the fall of 2017, I have written about this topic. With regard to information about the disease, ways of transmission, etc., remains all the same. And all of this is part of the article is up to date. However, I now have your attention, in particular, for vaccination records, and how to do so in the event that this may not be up-to-date, as well as to the main points for which you should be aware of. In accordance with DGS Standards in the 004/2017 of 12/04/2017 date 15/03/2018 Review, the bulletin of the Vaccination Scheme recommended by the PNV in accordance with a age, from : 1 - 4 years old - 1 dose ",123,"portugal"
"16411","The Directorate-General for Health (DGS) acknowledges that all children are immunized as early as six months, particularly in situations where post-exposure to the measles virus. This is the first measles containing vaccine (VASPR), does not invalidate, however, the need for the child to be re-immunized at 12 months of age, as laid down in the National Programme of Vaccination is in place. The display appears in a new recommendation published Thursday on the website of the DGS. The VASPR should be given to children between the ages of six and 12 months, with regard to the second dose, before the age of five, which is exclusively through a doctor's prescription, in support of the role, as provided for in the special conditions, the National Programme on Immunization,” reads the policy. If the child has been immunized before age 12 months will need to be re-vaccinated at age 12, as provided for in the National Programme on Immunization, refer to the DGS, but, “respecting a minimum interval of four weeks between doses.” The health authority stresses that the actions must be properly considered by the clinician, taking into account the clinical situation and the epidemiology in each and every moment, and, in particular, in situations where post-exposure”. In relation to the advance of the second dose, it is clear from the reading of the new policy, from which the age can be given. The DGS maintains that “the measles vaccine should be given, without administrative barriers and without any payment by client, as set out in the National Programme of Immunization”. In the wake of the current outbreak of measles, which the DGS had been reminded that the vaccination is before the ages, “it is provided for in the National Programme of Vaccination for exceptional circumstances, and only administered via a doctor's prescription, and its evidence base, particularly for people who have been in contact with the patient. When asked, at the beginning of the week, just on the chance that anticipation of the vaccine, the director-general of Health, said: “there is also a circular anti-bodies are passed from the mother. For this reason the children before six months and they rarely have infectious diseases,” but he admitted that the experts were “just to solve this problem (before 12 months)”.",123,"portugal"
"68101","The european commission has a coordinating role, without having a clear competence and, as such, has launched an internet platform for information on vaccines. In this project, cooperate with the academic world, and that in order to attract the attention over the benefits of the vaccine in general, and in order to remove the hesitation. The goal of this, which is one of the public health is that, by 2020, 95 per cent of the european population to be vaccinated against measles. The danger is present, as it was said by the european commissioner Vytenis Andriukaitis, a surgeon by profession, is a member state and who do not carry this vaccine is a risk to all the neighboring countries and the whole of the EU. The European commission would therefore urge member states to come up with a plan for the vaccination in the eu. Can you imagine a book of the european vaccination schedule, which would facilitate the approach of the doctors in the face of a patient coming from another member state. Today's reality is much different. Vaccinations are not mandatory in all eu member states. In belgium and France, for example, require that the 11 vaccines given to babies, including the one against polio, whooping cough, measles, rubella, mumps, meningitis viral infections, and diphtheria. In Luxembourg, however, is the only mandatory vaccination in migrants, while in the Netherlands, vaccination is only recommended. In addition, not all member states apply the time schedule for vaccinations, and some require or recommend vaccination for the babies, while others are more flexible, and the practice of vaccination, just the age of the students. The whole debate has been caused in Europe by the introduction of the vaccine against cervical cancer, which is to be given from the age of 12, but it is not mandatory. However, in Belgium, it has been observed a decrease in the changes in the tissue of the cervix within the last 5 years since the vaccine was recommended for all women, and the schools they administer it for free. That being said, the Commission recognises that there is a problem in the public mind as to the reliability of the various scientific studies on the pros and cons of vaccinations. Unfortunately, there is no way right now to adjust for this problem.",123,"romania"

Goals that are of less than one case per million inhabitants "", says in The Echo Dr. Monalisa Zampieri (ULB/Saint-Pierre Hospital, Brussels), who is completing a dissertation at the end of specialization in pediatrics on the topic. Yet, the belgian national action plan for measles elimination, renewed in 2016, aims to rid the country of this disease by 2020, she says. The vaccination rates too low in the country is pointing the finger. It could be argued that Belgium lose its status of ""countries in transition"" towards the elimination of measles, conferred by the WHO in 2018. While a rate of 95 % must be achieved for this disease, the Belgium is below this standard. Flanders reached a coverage rate of 93.4 %. In Brussels, this rate drops to 76,4 %, and in Wallonia, it only rises to 70.1 per cent (figures for 2017). For Wallonia, a contagion of anti-vaccine in France could be one of the explanations, according to Dr. Zampieri.",122,"belgium"
"2434","New studies have shown that in addition to its direct danger to the patient, the virus of measles is capable of weakening the immune memory of the body, making people vulnerable to infections to which they were formerly immune. For the researchers, the virus is much more harmful than estimated, which means that a vaccination rate adequacy is more important. Measles is a viral disease highly contagious affecting mostly children. The virus spreads when sick people cough or sneeze, or by direct contact with infected nasal or throat secretions. The first symptoms, which usually appear 8 to 12 days after exposure to the virus are high fever, rhinorrhea (runny nose), red eyes and small white spots inside the mouth. A rash appears several days later, usually on the face and upper neck and gradually extends toward the bottom of the body. There is no specific treatment and most people recover in two to three weeks. However, the world health Organization states that measles can cause serious complications, such as blindness, encephalitis, severe diarrhea, an infection of the ear or pneumonia, particularly in malnourished children and immunocompromised individuals. Two studies published by Harvard researchers, of the medical Institute Howard Hughes and the Erasmus university in the netherlands shows that the disease is more dangerous than scientists had believed, and to what extent the vaccine is useful. Studies indicate that measles causes damage in the long term the immune system, making people vulnerable to other infections. Amnesia immunological specifically, the researchers showed that the measles virus erases a part of the memory of the immune system of the body, eliminating pre-existing immunity against other infections. The scientific team has shown for the first time that measles ""resets"" the human immune system to the point of reducing it to a state similar to that of a baby immature, that is to say, with a limited ability to respond to new infections. According to it, this discovery explains why children often succumb to other infectious diseases, after having had the measles, and stresses the importance of getting vaccinated against this disease. According to a study published in Science in Immunology, this phenomenon is not without consequences in terms of public health because the cases of measles are increasing globally due to inadequate immunization coverage. This could therefore lead to an increase in the number of other dangerous infections such as influenza, diphtheria, or tuberculosis. In 2018, nearly 350,000 cases of measles have been reported in the world, is more than twice that in 2017, according to the WHO, which warns against gaps in coverage, sometimes anchored for many years and believes that the vaccination rate necessary to prevent outbreaks must be 95%. The MMR vaccine : a simple and effective way To come to this conclusion, researchers conducted an analysis of the blood of 77 unvaccinated children before and after an outbreak of measles. The results revealed that two months after infection, the virus was eliminated between 11 and 73% of the different antibodies, the proteins present in the blood to ""remember"" encounters with viruses and help the body to avoid recurrent infections. The children lose much of their immune defences and become vulnerable to viruses that they have already encountered and conquered. Thus, if a person had 100 antibodies against varicella before contracting the measles, she could only have half afterwards. In addition, in macaques infected with measles, 60% of the repertoire of antibodies were undetectable for at least five months. Although the reconstitution of the repertoire of antibodies is possible with new exposures to pathogens, such as for infants, the patient must wait several months or even years, which may represent a risk to health. A dangerous phenomenon that researchers have dubbed "" amnesia overall immune "". ""Our study shows not only that the measles vaccination protects against measles, but also other infectious diseases. "", explains professor Colin Russell, of the University of Amsterdam. The cases of measles being a strong resurgence in recent years, notably in France, so it's necessary to update its vaccination measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine for anyone born after 1980. With two injections (the first at 12 months and the second between 16 and 18 months, with a one-month period between the two injections), the child is protected against measles, mumps, and rubella. It should be noted that measles may occur at any age, unvaccinated individuals : the disease is not only linked to childhood. The insurance specifies that in more than 15 years, in half of all cases of measles, hospitalisation is necessary.",122,"france"

The return of the disease is not only a tragedy, it's just defeat of those companies who believed in ""the real message about vaccines."" If someone ten years ago told me that some people will cease to vaccinate children, measles (and other nice illness) will return to the Polish, I would have thought that was crazy. But as history repeats itself as farce, and we have already long since we've had some massive plague in Europe, we see the return of infectious diseases. When the Belarusian Ministry of health reported that in the year of twenty kilometers from the Polish border – a hotbed of measles, he became restless. We have four cases of infection – three and the doctor who took care of them. Not known to be infected were vaccinated, but who believes that the problem of the disease corresponds precisely to the absence of immunization, because in Belarus, where the disease broke out, 80% of those infected did not have proper protection. And while the Internet will continue antynaukowa hysteria directed against vaccinations, disease, old age they will return. Now, tell someone. This doctor was not vaccinated? But ha ha vaccine was very to protect. Rather, the explanation. Wakcynacja does not provide nieprzenikalnej shield, does not give absolute certainty. But if the company responsible is to be vaccinated, the chances of occurrence of disease, which can absorb a significant portion of the population, considerably reduces. About the case reports Gazeta.pl (that in itself is proof of exploitation of the worst Big Pharmy). Corey returned Back to the County wieruszowskiego in the Lodz province, where the disease. Local only encourages free vaccinations (but who is not on the face, decide family doctors) and leads intensive information campaign about the effectiveness wakcynacji.

Because the virus has such an interesting trend that likes to mutate, and then he makes another złośliwszy. Who knows what his iteration, in the end, he'll find us, so we will have a repeat of the black death? Let's see, for other rooms. Gazeta.pl hurry with the reminder of the subsequent facts. If in 2016 the number of cases of measles amounted 5273 cases (and was a record low), in 2017 it was already 21315 people, including 5562 in Romania itself. Who called the situation ""a tragedy"" and he was right. In Poland last year refused vaccination for 10% more people than in 2016.

By 2016, Portugal) received a request from the World Health Organization (WHO), an order that the rule regulated in the country, as being free of measles, because one of the very few cases reported in the last few years had been borrowed from other countries. The vaccination is free of charge to the children, in 1974, and, above all, with the introduction of a second dose of the vaccine, in 1990, the measles, it turned out to be almost a disease that has been forgotten or invisible. However, between 1987 and 1989, had been reported in Portugal and 12 million cases, accounting for 30 deaths. Measles is a viral infections the most contagious diseases, and, in spite of usually being benign, can be very serious and even cause death, warns the Directorate-general for Health (DGS). The disease is manifested by the appearance of small white spots on the oral mucous membrane, about an hour or two before you experience a skin rash, that initially appear on the face. According to the norm of the clinic, to be issued by DGS in the last week, and the complications of measles can include otitis media, pneumonia, convulsions, febrile and swelling of the brain. Adults tend to have more severe disease than young children, and patients are immune-compromised may not have spots on their skin. Measles, which is vaccine-preventable, it is transmitted over the air and by direct contact with secretions from the nose or throat of infected persons. With an incubation period that can vary between seven and 21 days, the transmission provides four days before and four days after the emergence of the rash (a skin rash). Consider this if you are already protected against measles, people who have had the disease, or who have two doses of the vaccine, in the case of children aged less than 18 years of age, and one dose when it comes to adults. Vaccination is the primary measure for the prevention of measles, which by being free of charge and is included in the National Program of Vaccination (PNV). All children should be vaccinated at 12 months of age and repeat vaccination at the age of five. “You are cautioned that, as to the need for parents to vaccinate their children without a second thought, once the vaccine is available in the country,” he said of the DGS in a statement today, issued a warning that it has often been said that on an ongoing basis.

The data for the end of 2018, will only be known in July 2019 bonds and the 2019 at the latest, in July of 2020, but WHO take advantage of the monthly statements to alert the operator that all of the regions of the world, they may be subject to outbreaks of the disease thanks to which groups of people are unvaccinated, as was the case in the United States, for example. Finalised data for the year 2017, which is estimated to the death of 110,000 people. “The number of cases, the real is based on the estimates of the global is also higher than that of those that are reported. The WHO estimates that less than one out of every 10 cases are reported globally, with variations according to the region,” reads the press release. Measles is a highly contagious disease that is almost completely preventable when people take the two recommended doses of the vaccine, says world health organization. Vaccination remains the most effective way to prevent illness, it strengthens the Directorate-General for Health (DGS).In developed countries, with better health care, it is easier to treat the patient, yet one-fourth of the cases, suffers from the complications that may occur such as brain damage, blindness or hearing loss. WHO want to the first dose of the vaccine to reach at least 95% of the people in order to prevent outbreaks of the disease, but the coverage has exceeded 85%. With respect to the second dose, the percentage is still low: only 67%. The low coverage of second dose is warranted, in part, to the fact that of the 25 countries still do not include it in their national plans for immunization. In the Uk, a vaccine against measles, it appears that is combined with vaccines for measles and anti-mumps epidemic, it is VASPR, and it is given in two divided doses. It is recommended to take the first dose at 12 months of age and the second at the age of five, but according to DGS, there is no upper age limit for the start of the scheme, vaccination with this vaccine since you were born after 1970, and there is no upper age limit for the completion of the scheme to the vaccine. At this moment, you are active outbreaks of measles in Burma / myanmar, Malaysia, Ethiopia, Philippines, Georgia, Madagascar, Kyrgyz republic, Republic of Congo (drc), Sudan, tanzania, Thailand, and Ukraine.

Four out of ten French people do not believe in the security of one of the treatments that are considered safer and that more lives has helped save around the world. The result? The alarming increase in the number of infections recorded since the end of last year -with more than 900 cases - has sparked alert among the health authorities, who have expressed their concern at the possibility that bites an epidemic like the one experienced in 2011, which claimed the lives of 20 people and affected other to 54,000. ""The rapid rise in the number of cases in the first few weeks of the 2018 does the fear that a new epidemic of an extent important, as observed in some countries in 2017 or lived in France between 2008 and 2012"", according to noted health authorities. The extension of the current outbreak, which recorded an increase in the number of cases of 46 % in only three weeks, finds its breeding ground in the low levels of vaccination, which ranges between 62 % and 88 %, according to the country's departments. In Spain, for example, the percentage rises to 94,7 %. The disease has spread to 59 of his 83 departments, which have been detected 913 cases from the end of the year. In just three months, we have recorded a total of 201 hospitalizations due to measles and one fatality in Poitiers.

Appeal to the vaccination, The health authorities have been forced to make a call for widespread vaccination because they insist that it is the only means of preventing the spread of the disease. This time, this medical practice is not yet compulsory in the country, but it will be along this year, according to the announcement made last summer by the president of the Republic, Emmanuel Macron, to be converted into compulsory immunization against eleven infectious diseases, including measles. But France is not the only european country that is worried about the spread of this virus. In Portugal, the directorate-general of Public Health has just declared officially the existence of an outbreak in the Northern Region. In this area were confirmed in seven patients from the 9th of march, while the number of suspected cases rises to 34.

Last year, the neighbouring country experienced two outbreaks in the case of simultaneous measles, with 29 cases, which came to cause the death of a 17 year old girl. Up to that time had been the first episodes of the disease recorded since it was 14 years. The situation in Spain is different, with a percentage of immunization is very high and with a reduced number of people affected in relation to the population. However, health professionals insist on the need not to lower their guard and not to fall into the deceptions of the antivacunas and their campaigns. Not in vain, last year there were a total of 160 cases, a small number in comparison with other countries, but that quadruples the 35 that had been notified in 2016.

In total, 91 people were hospitalised and 29 have presented complications (encephalitis, pneumonitis). Children under 5 years of age are the most affected. The three departments that are primarily affected : the Haute-Garonne, Aude, and Pyrénées-Orientales. The highly contagious measles and inadequate immunization coverage on all of our departments are two factors which could contribute to the restart of an epidemic in our region. In more than 9 out of 10 people infected are not or insufficiently vaccinated (1 dose). To date, no department in Occitania, only achieved 95% of immunization coverage for measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR), a rate recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) to allow the elimination of the disease. To protect themselves, and protect the most fragile, a single reflex : the vaccination To be protected effectively, a single solution : vaccination. The MMR vaccine is recommended at one year of age, but also in adults born after 1980. Consult your health book to verify that you are well protected. The health professionals, early childhood professionals and teachers are also strongly encouraged to check their vaccination status. Vaccination, it is also to protect the most vulnerable who cannot be vaccinated : infants under 6 months, pregnant women, people with weakened immune systems...

Measles is not a childhood disease, it also applies to adolescents and adults. It is characterized by a high fever, associated with cough, nasopharyngitis, or conjunctivitis, and a rash. Measles is ten times more contagious than the flu, a sick person can contaminate up to twenty people. It spreads very easily from person to person through the air when coughing, sneezing, mouchage, or by contact with contaminated objects (toys, handkerchiefs, ...).

These hedges comply with the indicators recommended by the WHO. Measles is one of the communicable diseases most contagious. Begins with fever, coryza, cough and small spots erythematous with central whitish in the oral mucosa. The rash, which appears between 3 and 7 days after onset of symptoms, starts on the face and spreads all over the body. The disease is more severe in infants and in adults than in children. Complications from measles can be serious, even fatal, are due to viral replication or bacterial superinfection, and include, among others, laringotraqueobronquitis, pneumonia, and encephalitis. All the people who have not passed the disease or who are not appropriately immunized are susceptible of contracting the disease. Infants are generally protected, up to 6-9 months of age by maternal antibodies. It is believed that the immunity after natural infection lasts a lifetime, and the immunity conferred by the vaccine persists for decades. The efficacy of the vaccine is very high and more than 95% develop antibodies after the first dose of vaccine, a TV, and with the second dose allows you to immunize a large part of those who have not responded to the first dose.

The power of “science,” “Traditionally, the power of Medical Science is based on fear of the disease and, in particular, on the fear of infectious disease” (Peter Duesberg) Start with a quote by the scientist “dissident” world's most famous, may not be of benefit to the economy of this article, but Duesberg is, and remains, so far as I can tell, the biggest virologist living! The first, ever, to characterize the structure of the proteins of the retrovirus (1) and the scientist on which Robert (Bob) Gall, later to become the guru of the AIDS, despite an impressive number of companies rather questionable put in work in this field, all of which are well described in a best-seller international, (2) writes as follows: “In any case, you are a scientist extraordinary. In this way, (and this is the only way!) will I really know if my vaccine is effective and, in the event that do not find differences in the incidence of the disease between the two groups, should I necessarily conclude that the vaccine is not effective. However, studies of this type, the vaccine of the measles (or any other vaccine) have never been made! ... and will never be made because it is considered “non-ethical” (9-12) administering to a child a substance that is pharmacologically inactive in the place of a vaccine, which, by definition, is considered effective! Of course, if you do for granted a priori that the effectiveness of any vaccine, I'll never be able to understand if this vaccine really works (although this is certainly not an issue of “big pharma” that, indeed, is only interested in selling the vaccine, and make the appropriate profit!). On the other hand, those who wish to get the shield of this ethics “facade”, should also know that, quite recently, a “panel” of experts of the WHO has defined situations in which to study the efficacy of a vaccine against placebo is definitely possible and ethically plausible, as well as, “ça va sans dire”, it is scientifically desirable. (13) In the real world, however, in the absence of studies that accept the idea that the placebo can also be used in the investigation on vaccines, none of the studies published until now can, beyond the pure and simple acceptance of the “dogma” of the effectiveness of a priori tell us whether and to what extent a certain vaccine is really effective!

""A patient suffering from a lymphoma in his face has seen his cancer cured after he contracted measles. This observation has been made at the beginning of the Twentieth century.

""Today, more than 50 % of cancers are treated. For the others, one hand on other treatments such as immunotherapy. Our immune system is able to fight against the cancer cells, except that he lost this power when the cancer has developed. Our team in Nantes was interested in everything that could prevent the immune cells of the body attack the cancer cells. These are capable of hiding our defenses. We have highlighted that the vaccine for measles was in the cancer cell and not in the sound and arrived to destroy it. From there, the cancer cell can no longer hide and the immune system regains its ability to fight. It has a dual action, combining these vaccines against viruses with immunotherapy is expected to arrive at extraordinary results "". What dose is used ? ""These are significant doses of vaccines, which range from 50,000 to 100,000 bulbs, when all it takes is a to vaccinate. What has changed is that in the last twenty years, we control better and better the virus and the vaccine, you can remove everything that is dangerous in the virus.

""Recently, the Mayo Clinic in the United States announced that it had treated two women with multiple myeloma in the terminal stage, one is in complete remission and the disease is stabilized in the second. Three years ago, we were at the same point as the Americans, but now they have taken a step ahead on the subject because they have big budgets. But the results that we just obtained and published recently are very encouraging, much hope in these therapies "". What vaccines are tested by the research teams ? ""A good dozen vaccines are in use : those against herpes, polio, measles or smallpox. The main cancers that are currently treated by this therapeutic innovation with these oncolytic viruses are melanoma, lung cancer, cancers of the brain or the ovary.

""If the response to the epidemic will not be timely and complete, the virus will find its way into the pockets of the most vulnerable individuals and will spread to other countries within and outside the region"", reads a note of the WHO. Measles is an epidemic disease, and highly contagious: in addition to a rash, cause coughs, colds and high fever, which usually reaches peak around 40 °C, and can be the cause of many complications, from pneumonia to encephalitis (a dangerous infection that affects the brain and the rest of the central nervous system contained in the cranium) through otitis media entity. In some cases, can even lead to death. There is no antiviral treatment specific for measles, and vaccination is the only way to prevent it. Epidemics of measles are also spreading in other parts of the world, such as in the Philippines, Thailand and the United States, where it was thought that the disease had been eradicated.

When asked whether the vaccination is mandatory, do not conflict with the fundamental rights of the citizens prescribed in the Constitution, Paul, Otero pointed out that ""it is for the health of the public, that is, in the first place,"" in situations of ""contagion, extended of the disease.

Children are not property of their parents,"" said the professor, pointing out that in the field of public health, and the danger of contagion is very doubtful that the parents will have a will of their children, when it comes to the survival of their own children. The liability of the State, in Addition to not being able to find the obstacles of a constitutional nature, that would prevent the vaccinations required for the protection of public health, Paul Otero has recognized, however, that it is difficult for the State to be able to be held to account in court for the death of someone who has contracted the disease is preventable by vaccination. That may be a breach of the duty of the law (of the State) and to make compulsory a certain type of vaccine,"" he says, admitting also that it can be raised as to the issues concerning the civil liability of the State is not a mandatory vaccination against certain diseases, and severe diseases.

However, concerns are expressed about the extent to which he might have taken the disease in the gypsy communities of Messenia -and that's because there is no longer the certainty that it does not go to the hospital and thus not recorded anywhere that sickness. Until now, the cases that have officially declared to the competent authorities (CDC and Health Directorate of Messinia) is one of the Hospitals of Kalamata and Children's hospital “Agia Sophia” and “Aglaia Kyriakou”.

If many non-vaccinated children go to school together, this increases thus the risk of infection, if a single child gets measles. This analysis examines the proportion of students in primary schools in 2017, which was vaccinated against measles, mumps and rubella. The analysis is based on data from Statens Serum Institut and the Danish Statistics. Assay key findings: 89 per cent. of the 617.277 school children, which are included in the analysis, is registered as vaccinated with MFR2 vaccine, which protects against measles, mumps and rubella. 44 per cent. of school children go to schools, which has a coverage of between 90 and 100 per cent., while 54 per cent. goes to schools, with a coverage between 80 per cent. and 90 per cent. 2 per cent. of school children go to schools with a coverage below 80 per cent. A minority of less than 1 per cent. of school children go to schools that stands out with a very low coverage between 50 per cent. and 75 per cent.

Of the confirmed cases came from three outbreaks, need to be distinguished: in the village, with 24 confirmed cases, and with the origin in the case of imports from Ukraine, in Portugal, with five of the confirmed cases, and with the origin in the case of imports from the Czech Republic, in the island of Madeira, with three confirmed cases. “Taking into account the large number of cases and outbreaks of measles in some european countries, the increase in the free movement of persons and the existence of a low-coverage vaccine against the measles, in many countries of the who european region, there is a high risk of importation of cases in the eu, underlines the DGS. It further recalled that, in the vaccinated individuals, the disease presents with a clinical picture “faster, and with a very low probability of transmission (referred to as mva, modified)”. The classical form of the measles, appears in individuals who are not vaccinated, and it is characterized by a clinical picture that can be very serious and can have complications and result in death. The DGS also recalls that, in the case of the classical form of the measles, “the contagiosidade (..) is too high. According to the DGS, in 2018, to 93 percent of the cases were associated with outbreaks, the origin of the infection was initiated in the cases that are imported from other countries, including Italy, France, germany, Uganda, USA, the Czech Republic, and the Ukraine. In this period, there were also confirmed cases are isolated, with no connection to disease known to these outbreaks, and that they are to be considered. The note adds that in a number of cases have been health care professionals, “which, in spite of the vaccine, have a high level of exposure, that is to say, the provision of care over a long period of time, in the case of the measles”. The DGS also highlights that the coverage vaccine has increased over time, while allowing the Uk to keep the immunity of the group, despite the fact that there are still a few pockets of susceptible” To vaccine coverage for the first dose of the measles vaccine, assessed at two years of age, he was 98% and the vaccination coverage for the 2nd dose of this vaccine in children under 18 years of age, it ranged between 96% and 98%. According to the press release, there has been a “significant increase in the number of adults vaccinated against the measles”. It is estimated that they have been administered, in a campaign, more than 42,000 doses of the measles vaccine, the majority (80%) of the adults. The health authority reminds people that measles is a disease that is infectious, more infectious, and can cause serious illness in non-vaccinated persons, and even lead to death. The virus of measles is transmitted by direct contact with the spray droplets to an infectious or spread in the air when the infected person coughs or sneezes. Patients are considered infectious from four days before until four days after appearance of the rash.

"6116","In the debate about vaccines and measles is perhaps the disease most discussed due to the strong increase of cases in the last handful of years, attributed to the scepticism in respect of that method of prevention on the part of the movements in the no-vax. This disease continues to affect children and adults, and infections reach record numbers in Europe in 2018, over 40 thousand cases, and also in Italy, outbreaks have been numerous, and have even resulted in casualties, often among unvaccinated persons. But what is the measles? It is an infection highly contagious disease caused by a virus of the genus morbillivirus, which belongs to the family Paramyxoviridae), which often affects children between 1 and 3 years. It spreads very easily by breathing through the nasal secretions, and pharyngeal and is absolutely one of the most easily communicable. In Italy, the disease must be notified to the health authorities. Symptoms The characteristic symptom of the disease explains the national Institute of health - is a cutaneous eruption (rash): it is in the form of red spots, which, starting from the head in a short time (4-7 days), spread throughout the body. The incubation period is about 9-14 days. The rash is preceded by symptoms similar to those of a cold or the flu, and because of this, you confused with these diseases. The infection manifests itself first, in fact, with sneezing, dry cough, and fever that tends to grow with the passing of the days. Next to these symptoms, which initially appear white spots inside the mouth, followed 3-4 days later by the appearance of red spots (rash). These small dots of red first appear behind the ears and the face and then spread to the whole body. The rash lasts for 4-7 days, after which the dots start to disappear: during this time, the fever tends to remain high, it is usually around 39. Once you contract the virus, you get an immunity to life or not riammala more than measles. Why is it dangerous to measles is dangerous because of its high potential epidemic, or the ease of transmission, which also facilitates the arrival of complications in affected individuals. According to the Iss, despite the complications are rare, measles remains responsible for a number between 30 and 100 deaths for every 100,000 people affected. In 2017, reports the world health Organization, the deaths estimated for measles 89.780. The measles - in the world - is one of the most important causes of death in childhood and adolescence. Possible complications because of the immune system weakened by the virus, are primarily caused by “super-infections” bacteria such as otitis media, laryngitis, diarrhea, pneumonia or encephalitis and are most likely to occur in babies and malnourished children or immunocompromised. The disease, however, may become complicated, more easily when it shrinks in adulthood. There is no specific treatment for the measles: you can give paracetamol to lower the fever, some syrup to soothe the cough or eye drops to remedy the conjunctivitis. In the case of complications, instead, the latter should be treated usually through hospitalization, to avert more serious outcomes. Vaccination The vaccine for measles in Italy has been made compulsory by the decree Lorenzin of June 2017. A first dose is recommended around the 12th-15th month of the child's life, with reference to 5-6 years. It is an attenuated virus vaccine, safely and without any side effect, explains the umberto Veronesi Foundation. The vaccine is administered by subcutaneous injection as a trivalent vaccine (combined with those for mumps and rubella) or quadrivalente (with the one against chickenpox). The national Institute of health reminds us about the groundlessness of the scientific link between vaccines and autism. And Giulia Grillo, who succeeded Beatrice Lorenzin to the ministry of Health has confirmed the intention to maintain the mandatory nature of the vaccine on measles. Concern about the increase in cases of measles Over the last few months have taken place in Italy and in Europe, campaigns, and alerts about measles because of the increased cases and the numerous outbreaks of the illness have arisen all over the continent. In 2018, seven european Countries have passed a thousand cases: Italy, France, Serbia, Greece, Russia, Georgia and Ukraine, and in all the seven there were of the dead. In Italy, even in 2017 were recorded nearly 5,000 cases, with 4 deaths, and from 1 January to 30 September 2018 have been reported 2.295. Zsuzsanna Jakab, director of the regional office for Europe of the world health Organization, has recently recalled that ""after the minimum negative touched in 2016 we have seen a dramatic increase in infections and outbreaks” and called on “all Countries to immediately implement broad measures that are appropriate to the context to decrease the spread of this disease. Good health for all by the vaccination”. In Italy, the coverage achieved by the vaccine for measles is to 91,68%, according to data of the ministry of Health.",118,"italy"
"6207","Measles continues to fear: in the first six months of 2019 cases in the world have tripled compared to the same period of last year, and Italy has still not been reached the target of 95% coverage for immunisation against measles-mumps-rubella (mmr), despite the trend in increase due to the law on obligation of vaccination for access to the school. The authors of a new study, of the Fondazione Bruno Kessler of Trento, Universita Bocconi and Northeastern University of Boston, published in the journal eLife, have made two accounts: in this step, in our Country, measles will not be eliminated before the end of 2045. The vaccine is free The problem affects mainly adults, many have not been vaccinated as children and have not had the disease, therefore they are at risk of infection (especially the people who today are between 25 and 40 years). The measles transmits very easily, and is not to be underestimated: in some cases can evolve into serious complications. According to the researchers, if you vaccinassero people who are not immunized you may defeat the illness much faster, by 2030. In Italy, the injection access is provided for between 12 and 15 months of age and children are not immune who are attending school up to 16 years. In fact, thanks to the Plan of elimination of measles and congenital rubella, the vaccine is offered to anyone who has not already received from small. The point is that the average age of infected people is rising, and today in Italy is 27 years. Parents and children, the authors of The study have, therefore, asked what solutions could be taken to stop the spread of the disease and have studied the different possible scenarios. The work has taken into account, in particular the parents not immunized, you could offer to be vaccinated together with the children. In this way, you anticiperebbe the elimination of the disease by a few years. ""The situation that we observe in Italy, characterized by a majority of the cases of measles among adults, is typical of developed Countries, - says Valentina Martian, a researcher of the Bruno Kessler Foundation and the first author. Policies vaccinations current focus on children and adolescents, thus leaving a large part of the population that was not vaccinated in the past at risk of contracting the disease. Our study shows, through the use of mathematical models, such as continuing with the vaccination policies of the present, in Italy, the elimination of measles is unlikely to occur before 2045"".",118,"italy"

Picture: PA Archive PA Archive/Press Association Images  Two cases of measles at a Golders Green school have shocked parents - as the Ham&High can reveal there have been scores of children infected in Barnet and Haringey since October.  Share Email this article to a friend To send a link to this page you must be logged in.  A pair of siblings at the King Alfred School in North End Road have reported contracting the disease, and Public Health England (PHE), teachers and parents have warned against not vaccinating children.  PHE said it had been notified. The two cases are among 25 reported in Barnet since October 2018.  This is the third highest figure in north London, behind only Hackney and Haringey – where an outbreak among the orthodox Jewish community has seen 268 and 54 confirmed cases respectively.  In 2017/18, PHE data show only 76 per cent of five year olds in Barnet had both required doses of the MMR jab. The number is even lower in Haringey, at 70pc. The figures are well below the national average, of 87pc.  One parent at the school, who did not wish to be named, said she was not surprised by the outbreak due to what she called the “anti-vax” sentiment among some parents.  She told the Ham&High: “It’s just anecdotal, but in a group of ten friends [of my child], I know that three or four hadn’t had their HPV vaccines. And it’s the same with MMR.  “It’s hard to believe, these are in many cases middle-class parents who should know better, the MMR vaccine’s safe.”  The school’s headteacher Robert Lobatto told this newspaper: “We have had two children reporting cases of measles in the last ten days. They are siblings and we haven’t had any other reports.  “Obviously whether to vaccinate children is a parent’s choice, but the vast majority of parents take up vaccinations.”  He said the school carried out PHE’s immunisations programme.  Dr Tania Misra, a consultant at its local Health Protection Team, said: “Protecting your children with two doses of the MMR vaccine is the best way to ensure they are not at risk of catching measles, mumps or rubella and preventing their spread to others who cannot be immunised such as newborn babies, pregnant women and those with weakened immune systems who are most vulnerable to infection.  “Measles spreads very easily amongst anyone who has not had two doses of MMR, particularly children, and this is why outbreaks can occur in communities where there are a large number of unimmunised individuals. There is an ongoing outbreak of measles in North London, with over 400 cases reported since October 2018.”  Dr Misra emphasised it was never too late to be immunised.  A Barnet Council spokesperson said: “Vaccination is the only way to protect our communities from measles. It is important that all children receive their immunisations at the correct time, so they are protected at the earliest opportunity. To arrange a vaccination for your child, see your local GP.”  Haringey Council admitted that immunisation rates were lower in the borough than it would like, and urged parents to vaccinate children before they start primary school.  A spokesperson said: “As a community we can all help to stop the spread of measles – the most powerful way of doing this is by ensuring our young residents receive the MMR vaccine. It is really important that children are vaccinated before they start school. If you are unsure if your child has been vaccinated, please check with your GP. There is also comprehensive advice on the NHS website. As a council, we will continue to work with partners to ensure the right guidance is available and that the vaccine is accessible to the community.”",118,"uk"

"6119","Professor Lopalco warns mothers: “measles in its acute phase due to an effect of immune deficiency higher than that of Aids”. How many scientific conferences and articles will it take to permanently delete from the face of the earth, the fake news on the vaccines that cause autism? A hoax space that still some fool or cheater brush. Know that the correlation between vaccine and autism has never been proven scientifically. It has been shown, however, that autism has identified genetic origins. The vaccines are useful and are much less harmful than the risk of a disease that we keep away from our children. The maximum that you can risk with a vaccine is a contraindication for anyone who is allerico: a case in a million may be exposed to an anaphylactic shock, but it is always better to risk death. Yes, because you die with the measles, which thirty years ago seemed to be a trivial disease to overcome, and to always to their own children. In the past, the “disease small,” not scared, but a child out of a thousand died. And even today, in Italy, there are cases of death due to this disease. “VACCINES: BETWEEN MYTHS AND SCIENCE,” The association Lecce, City of Public has organized yesterday a meeting with Pier Luigi Lopalco (professor of Hygiene at the University of Pisa), Antonio Sanguedolce (the Medical director of the ASL Lecce), Alberto Fedele (director of the department of Hygiene and Public Health at the local health authorities of Lecce) and the pediatrician Rosario Horse. An appointment to help you better understand what they are, how they work and how safe are the vaccines. Ignorance breeds fear and prejudice. In the era of the web the unwary have taken refuge in echo chambers (groups of people with the same ideas and trends) which are amplified and strengthened the convictions of a distorted, conspiracy and unsubstantiated. WHAT IS THE VACCINE “The vaccine is, in reality, the acquired immunity in a natural way. We present to the immune system of a microorganism that allows it to stimulate the immune system”, – explained the director of the Faithful. A vaccine is a product in which the administration is able to induce a specific immune response against a specific microorganism (virus, bacterium, or parasite). The vaccine, originally developed for the prevention from infectious diseases, can be composed of live, attenuated microorganisms (able to induce an immune response but not disease), by microorganisms, inactivated (killed) or parts (fragments) of these agents. It is clear that a vaccination programme on a national scale is a benefit for those who do not, because it reduces the circulation of the agent responsible for the disease. WHY SHOULD I get VACCINATED against DISEASES THAT we BELIEVE are HARMLESS CAN KILL We need to think of vaccination in terms of risk - benefit. In ancient times life expectancy was 35 years. The professor Pierluigi Lopalco explained that if we live longer, we owe it only to the discoveries in the field of medicine and vaccines. When the Romans arrived, with the invention of the sewer system and the other, the expectation of life was always between 35 and 40 years. The average life of man on the planet has always stayed on this data. But in 800, you will discover the bacteria: Pasteur accomplished the great revolution by studying the fermentation and allowing us to not contract diseases by drinking beer, milk or any other. In the last few decades the average life explodes, because children do not die and the population grows. Without the vaccine, and Pasteur, who discovered microbes, the diseases such as polio and other circolerebbero quietly and would continue to kill millions of babies. In the years ‘60, in Lecce, there were 15 cases a year of poliomenite. Thanks to vaccines no longer happens. During the conference at the Officine Cantelmo of Lecce, on the monitor you can see two photos of moms who descend on the square for two wrong reasons: in the ‘73 because they want the vaccine useless against the cholera, which had to be defeated otherwise. While in 2017 it will descend in the square against the vaccines. You must not ride the wave of emotions when it has to do with science! Why get vaccinated chickenpox, measles and other, if the first were considered to be diseases from contracting by small, as if it was nothing? “I have survived, but you risk much, "" explains the pediatrician Rosario Horse - The considered as a disease of little account because at the time it was the smallpox that was scary (measles was a disease the small”). Then, we have been able to cause the disappearance of the smallpox, vaccinate everyone with a vaccine that is much more responsive to what we know today: it was a precaution that could have serious side effects, but accepted the risk though to ward off the smallpox. If we don't do vaccines against the measles, all it would take, because it is contagiosissimo, and leads to death in one case out of a thousand”. THE EXPERTS: “OF MEASLES and DIES” With the measles is at risk of encephalitis and other complications up to death. Another small disease. “In 2018, there have been 500 cases of measles and 4 deaths in Italy – explains professor Lopalco - The severe allergic reactions are the contraindications of the vaccine (one case per million): if I have to choose between a disease that kills a thousand and one anaphylactic shock, which happens once in a million, I'll choose the vaccine!”. THE LAW THAT REQUIRES THE VACCINE, The improvement of hygienic conditions and life-styles, alone, nothing could have against scourges, such as smallpox or polio. Today, paradoxically, all over the world, while public health stresses the need to promote vaccinations, growing fear and distrust of vaccines. This fear is often related to lack of knowledge or misinformation. The trouble is that in a world where we are all “interconnected” the wicked choice of someone not to vaccinate her son falls on the life of my son, who can contract life-threatening diseases. That's why the law came down hard, just in a period of great skepticism. Italy has imposed ten vaccines: higher than the european average (in 2014, coverage was lower). The objective of the law Lorenzin is to reach the so-called “Immunity of the flock”: a immunization so high as to disappear, even the measles. THE QUESTIONS PIER LUIGI LOPALCO, PROFESSOR OF HYGIENE AT the UNIVERSITY OF PISA as a Professor, it is not easy to break down the myth that infectious diseases strengthen the individual. “Previously, it was thought this was because the children's strongest survived. That is, those who were not strong died, but that is called natural selection. Therefore, it is not a beneficial effect of infectious diseases, but ensure the death of the weakest. One thing unacceptable in a civilized country. There are diseases such as measles, which can, in its acute phase, result in an effect of immunodeficiency higher than that of Aids. HiV causes an immunodeficiency chronic, the acute measles, the latter endangers the life of the one who suffers, because you become easy prey to bacterial pneumonias in a state of weakness similar to so many other complications and viral diseases that may lead to death”. Why the fake news of the vaccine would lead to autism has had so much success? “You can imagine with what enthusiasm I want to reiterate a concept that is repeated millions of times. It's funny, but there are still people who falls for! Us experts call it the mother of all hoaxes, that comes from a scientific study manipulated by the gastroenterologist, English, Wakefield: this doctor, in the years '90, theorizes a link between the vaccine MMR (against measles, mumps and rubella) and autism in children, by publishing an article in the prestigious magazine the Lancet. The doctor does colonoscopies for some autistic children, and claims to have discovered a damage on the walls of the intestines of these patients: according to him, therefore, the poisoning due to vaccines against measles, rubella and chicken pox would have caused the autism. The magazine had such an authority that the article made headlines around the world. In a press conference called by the subject in question, you declare that you have found the causes that trigger the autism. The fake news is now spreading throughout the world. Only thanks to a journalistic investigation it turns out that that study was false: the data were false (the records were manipulated), the parents had not authorized the doctor to do a colonoscopy with biopsy and that the other co-authors of the article had not been informed of these details. Then, the other authors withdraw the signature from the article, the doctor is cheat is removed from the register of physicians and the Lancet delete the article and apologize to the public. Wakefield had patented a vaccine which according to him was less invasive: for this he wanted to demonstrate that what caused the autism. In addition, the doctor con-man was also a consultant to some families and, if you passed her on the thesis, would be able to claim compensation from the State. Global public health has shown that the vaccine does not cause autism. There are still groups of cheaters that this hoax is convenient for cleansing therapies, which cost from 3 thousand to 10 thousand euro, to profit from”. ",117,"italy"

Problems: The image is actually processed. Opponents take as proof that it was pure ""Impfpropaganda"". In our Community on Facebook, we received several requests to articles about The NBC report of The article in the NBC comes from the 15. April 2019 and is available online.

"1463","Prague Some parents think that they can about your child without the rest of the decisions yourself. The child then may ask, why did my mother act against the opinion of the company. ""In some areas, so the expert point of view should be over the aspect of the parents, and therefore it is the obligation of vaccination,"" explains the deputy minister of the Roman Prymula. LN: the Measles were even ten years ago been eradicated, now returned. Who's to blame: the state, or the so-called biomatky? The situation is not so simple. It's about a more complex problem from the point of view of the whole of Europe. Undoubtedly one of the key roles played by the opponents of vaccination, because vaccination coverage really decreases. In particular, in some regions, the us dominant in Prague. If we are vaccinating at a level lower than that which it is able to evoke collective immunity, which is the minimum level of vaccination coverage of 95 percent, logical in a paediatric population, the virus can circulate. As a rule, there is triggered the epidemic, which is also between consenting adults. Chief vaccinologist Professor Roman Prymula is president of the Czech vakcinologické of the company and a deputy minister of health for health care. In the past he was rector of the Military medical academy in Hradec Králové and the director of the university hospital, where, however, he was dismissed because of a conflict of interest. He is a professor of hygiene, epidemiology and preventive medicine. Holds a variety of functions in international organisations, is also a member of the European immunization of the commission. In the long term is devoted to a clinical research of new vaccines, now deals with the reforms of the european vaccination schedules, and the reform of primary care. LN: AND other causes are what? The second very important factor, which has previously been discussed, is the weakening of immunity in the elderly population, from about 30 years of age. This is a phenomenon which in the past was not. In natural conditions cirkuloval virus wildly, the people are with him during the life of the met and the natural way immunity strengthen. At that time, it was argued that vaccination against measles will last a lifetime. Which now shows as false. In conditions, when a person twenty years met with no virus of measles, the immunity has weakened. In the population is now quite significant percentage of persons who get sick can. And these factors also combine. LN: he Plays the role that the epidemic does not concern only the Czech republic? Certainly, this is the third crucial factor. Absolutely tragic is the situation in Ukraine, where it is around 50 thousand cases of measles and vaccination coverage is really scary due to the war problems that were. We tried to solve even at the level of the European immunization commission, of which I am a member, and it turns out that there is not a force level dramatically elevate. For Ukraine to increase vaccination coverage, lobbied and Bill Gates, but practically it doesn't. In the European union are then quite a large epidemic in the states, such as Italy, France, last year was the biggest epidemic in Romania. The Czech republic is true, that the epidemic did not originate with us, but dominantly she came to us from Ukraine. Specific is virginia, where in three cases the infection was brought in from France. LN: speaking of the european context, we can say that the spread of measles is related to the migration wave? I wouldn't say that. Ironically we are in some areas worse than some developing countries. They have programs subsidized global foundations like the Bill and Melinda Gates foundation, which cost of vaccination reduced so that it is incomparably lower than the price of the vaccine in the West. Paradoxically, then, vaccination coverage rather rises. Unfortunately, we have a problem grow in Europe. A growing percentage of people who refuse to vaccinate, which, of course, in the population creates pockets of unvaccinated individuals, who in such epidemic usually get sick if they come into contact with the virus. It is one of the nejinfekčnějších viruses, it is said that 18 people get sick on the one index case, which is a lot. LN: you're Talking about resistance to vaccination, which is mandatory. Why did it become hard to recover? Is this a concern, and I share it, you can't proceed completely repressed. We are in a society where democracy is in its way of deep roots. But in real life it leads to the fact that there are people who think that a child is their property, and usurp the right to fully decide on his future, which may not be entirely correct. The child could ask, why did my mother decide against the opinion of the company. But I think that in some areas the expert approved point of view should be over the aspect of the parents, and therefore it is the duty of the vaccination. Of course, we have set the model that they'll sanction those who do not get vaccinated, a fine of ten thousand crowns. In practice, it's not much use. Children's doctor has due to the protection of personal data legally able to report to the authorities of public health of the unvaccinated child. These authorities can figure out spontaneously, when they get in there to check, but it's not really a mass issue. LN: Why does this resistance? There's a fairly strong group, which claims it wants to protect the child and wants to vaccinate at least delayed. I'm not a fan. The truth is that children's immunity is of course immature and may in rare cases cause damage to the. On the other hand, inoculating them in such a young age, because children's immunity is immature and against infectious diseases. When we look at the incidence of infectious diseases, as a rule, this is between birth and the first year of life. Need death from whooping cough was virtually no reservations in this zone at the persons vaccinated were not. LN: would Protect us, actually 95% child vaccination coverage, when he knows that the protective immunity dispeled and measles threatens up to one third of adults vaccinated, because the immunity is simply not so strong? At the same time set system is definitely not to say that the epidemic could arise. Undoubtedly could, because the so-called population pockets, which combine the effect of neproočkovanosti with the fading of the immunity, might in some cases lead to the fact that the epidemic originated in a population that was at the beginning of the proočkována well. LN: When they leave to be revaccinated paramedics or firefighters, need to get trojvakcínu against measles, mumps and rubella. Why not monovakcíny? The reason is related to practicality, because the trend is to combine the vaccine, that the child didn't have to go on an incredible number of visits. Because if we imagine that we rozfázovali hexavakcínu, we'd – still in the original dosage of – 18 times on the vaccination in the first year of age because of hexavakcíně. And in the next year, six times for rubella, measles, mumps, and six times again on the booster hexavakcíny. This is the number of visits that the child would distress them. Another reason is the safety of the vaccine. There is evidence that would monovakcína was safer than in a filing šestivalentní vaccine. But I agree that for some specific situations – as is the case of the epidemic – we monovakcíny needed. Unfortunately on the market are not, because for the large producers, who market virtually monopolizovali, it is more profitable to produce a polyvalent vaccine. The only monovakcína of measles is in Switzerland, but it is the indian vaccine licensed only for Switzerland. To the countries of the EU, the European medicines agency didn't, there is a fairly large protectionism, because it is significantly cheaper than the vaccines on the european market. LN: Opponents of vaccination argue, that deaths from measles declined before the introduction of vaccination, thanks to nutrition, hygiene and health care. Can you agree with that? In the case of measles it is not a meaningful argument. For a number of diseases can decrease the incidence due to hygiene standards. The disease, which spreads typical by droplet infection, in its wake there's no shortage. For measles with the delegation of the can. When it comes to contact and one of us would have had the measles, so in the time that we're talking about here, logically, someone of us gets infected, if it does not protect the antibodies. For myself we don't need to sputter, mikrokapénky within two feet of spontaneously reach. LN: According to the minister of health Adam Vojtěch this year will be up to a thousand cases of measles. In other words, waiting for the first victim, because he's roughly one person per thousand of the sick, is it so? This is so, but we must remember that it is the things makročísel. Nowhere is it written that in the first thousand must be the first deceased. It may turn then in two thousand two deceased, but in the first no. I'd completely on the stats wouldn't count. It really is a bit of a random thing. However, when we look at last year's numbers of deaths from abroad, it happened to correspond, there was one dead on 1000 cases. No matter how much the country was developed. For death is but need to say one more thing, positive. After all, the vaccination of each dose counts. For all diseases, when in the past had the vaccination, the clinical course is usually milder. We could therefore expect that high levels of vaccination coverage in this population, even though the immunity has dropped, major progressions are not. Now be academic because it applies to all diseases, but I suppose that will be for measles. LN: If I vaccinate trojvakcínou, is there any greater health risk than monovakcíny? If I přeočkovával in a short interval, I can evoke a response to it, that I already have in the body, like a living virus. When I get a few doses of tetanus after itself, appears quite significant local reactions, when it comes to huge swelling, redness, swelling and the like. This is the reason, which can be taken into account. But here is the booster in a short interval. Přeočkovávají people should be after twenty years. Common reactions are then different. In spalničkové of the vaccine may be a reaction, which is a serious, statistically, in the zone of roughly one per million to one to ten million may occur inflammation of the brain. It is similar to subacute sclerosing panencefalitidě, which occurs in classical measles, but up to a thousand times more often. LN: Critics argue that making decisions on vaccination policy of the state in the National immunization commission is non-transparent and in the hands of only a small group of people, which is easy to korumpovatelná. How to do such a criticism you react? The commission has completely limited the ability to implement any recommendations. If you look back at what happened with the vaccination calendar, a few years nothing has changed, now we have managed to push through significant changes in the calendar, but on the contrary, went against the commercial companies. If there will be one dose, less than the pneumococci, so in hexavakcíny, quite a lot of them it bothers you. Because it is the loss of one quarter of the benefit that they had. Here argue that the us corrupted, is quite ridiculous. The second thing is that the one in the final decisions, is to parliament. When the surface of the system introduced vaccination against pneumococcus and against cervical cancer, ruled by the parliament at a time when we are about three years sought and we weren't able to push through. So the dominant role played by the parliament, because it must change the law. LN: How dangerous measles are? It can be said that the more they threaten some of the ages? Here I have some differences done. Between the classic diseases are undoubtedly the most serious. Therefore, I'm to fascinated that the opponents of vaccination that in some cases solves the fact that they are doing the so-called slumber party. It is of course nice to have lifelong immunity, that after the disease is. But to pay for the risk that your child something programmatically I do, it seems to me absurd. The pajama party comes mommy with a sick child and happily there trying to infect others. The risk that something will occur, is relatively large. One part in a thousand, not so few. And I can't imagine what the mother will say then, what actually went risk across",116,"czech"

""Nationwide, 544 measles cases were registered, this year there are already 387"", says Dr. Martina Littmann, head of the Department of health in the state office for health and social Affairs MV (LAGuS). Even though the North East appears to be due to its currently with 95.5 percent nationwide, the highest vaccination Coverage at School measles infections well prepared, the expert concerned: Because the number of patients in this country to other infectious diseases, such as whooping cough or tuberculosis, is significant. Specifically, it was in MV 2018, a total of 264 cases of whooping cough, this year there are already 119. Against tuberculosis, an effective vaccine is lacking While it could protect against measles and pertussis through Immunization, is lacking in the fight against tuberculosis, an effective vaccine, deplores Prof. Dr. Emil Reisinger, member of the Board of Unimedizin Rostock. The cause for the increased Occurrence of this bacterial infectious disease is especially the immigration of citizens from Eastern European countries, as well as Dr. Wilfried Schimanke, Vice-President of the medical Association of MV is confirmed. ""While tuberculosis in Germany was an issue, came still there is this Problem mainly in the former Soviet republics,"" says Schimanke. ""The immediate detection of cases of the disease, treatment with antibiotics and the observation of the family environment are necessary,"" explains Reisinger. That this succeeds in MV well, show cases, to the slightly decreasing number of Disease, the specialist for infectious and tropical medicine. It was in the past year, 80, 2017 are noted 90. Measles infection can be fatal, Both Doctors warn against Trying the measles vaccination, have a negative Image of impute: ""The risk to fall ill due to such a precautionary measure, for example, autism is bullshit,"" says Schimanke. ""Like all vaccinations, can cause slight side effects. The Occurrence of fever or minor skin include volatility,“ explains Dr. Sebastian Schmidt. The possible complications during the outbreak of a measles disease, however, be much more serious. The statistics evidence that each 1000. Measles patient in particular, inflammatory brain disease to develop, and ten to 20 percent die, warns the chief doctor of the children's hospital of Greifswald Unimedizin. He emphasized that in Germany, although about 95 percent of the children were given up to their second birthday, a measles vaccination, but only 74 percent the second. As a result, the so-called herd protection, of the population against epidemics forbid, in danger. ""MV is the only state in which operating doctors as foreign service employees of the public health service at the workplace, publicly recommended vaccinations can make,"" says LAGuS-expert, Martina Littmann. Add to this that Doctors who vaccinate, continually educate themselves and have a valid vaccination certificate have to. This, too, had succeeded, to the fact that in the past three years, only one measles case in the North-East was, as the specialist.

With regard to mumps, rubella, and measles, we are at less than 85.

Health authorities warn of the risks of not vaccinating children, and extended to unvaccinated adults, independiemente where vidan, and the lack of scientific evidence of the arguments on which it is based, this current. A movement antivacunas potentially dangerous that generates distrust of vaccines and the emergence of new outbreaks of the diseases nearly eradicated in many areas of the world. Measles is one of them, and the consequences of the decision of parents not to vaccinate children against the measles may put their lives at risk. Measles is a viral disease, infectious, highly contagious, and manifests itself with skin rashes reddish all over the body, accompanied by cough, high fever (above 38.5°), runny nose and red eyes. Measles outbreaks in Europe, The number of measles cases in Europe increased in 2017, a 400% compared to the previous year (2016), in which were recorded 5.273. An increase described as “a tragedy”, in the words of the director of the european office of this agency of the United Nations, Zsuzsanna Jakab, at the presentation of the report at a meeting on vaccines held in Montenegro and whose figures have been made to bypass the alarms to outbreaks of measles in Europe. The WHO attributed this increase to the reduction of the vaccination coverage. In 15 of the 53 countries of the european area, including Russia, outbreaks of measles, 100 or more cases.

"19513","The religious community which would infect in Sweden, with the measles, and the threat of it, I wrote a few days ago about how parents will try and call on others to infect their child with measles, and that it is a violation of the law. After that, I got threatened with a report to the police. It was beyond hot, as there are no individual – not even the group's name – has been left to hang out. And, even more, that it would amount to the offence of incitement to racial hatred. However, the group would like to infection in Sweden, with the world's most communicable (and deadly) virus, has been formed in a religious community, and it makes the whole thing special. Which of the following screen shots will show you. I've weighed back and forth for a few days and have decided not to publish the name of either the community or its leaders. Not for the fact that they don't want to do. I have been asking for (it was alright) and the second of which, both the community and the leaders of much of the public, the leader has a Facebook page with 6,000 followers and is very active on the business (I've already been offered the 'services'). However, I do not see that the announcement is going to help, rather, to isolate the community and its members through the criticism that would be directed against them personally. I'm still writing is to point out what are the driving forces behind the group, vaccinationsskeptiker. And how they, by themselves, to the community, will be even more radical. It is the nature of the children, which then stirs up others to infect their children with a life-threatening illness. That I'm at all paying attention to it again in order to once again remind you that it is a violation of the law, which does not make the spread of the disease into a gray area of opinion and personal belief. It is a criminal offence under the penal code, spreading and exposing others to the measles. Community-this is not The first time that a group of people driven by their ideology, are choosing to create communities in order to get a higher level of protection for his or her actions. Piratkopieringsrörelsen created a community of ”Kopimi”, and did the hilarious with the churches, and the titles on to say that the piracy of their religion. The idea is that, under the protection of the free exercise of religion, would have a higher level of protection in order to pirate. It is easy to come to the conclusion that it is possible to explain the vaccinationsmotstandarnas samfundsbildning in the same way. They are not only a vaccination, but because they believe that it is destroying the body of the E-substances are in our food, chemicals in the general population. By registering as a community don't have either of members of or with their children show some special allergy-proof the school, but only with reference to their religion, offered to the ”non-toxic” diets, they say to themselves. On a direct question to mean samfundsledaren that the community is mainly created for practical reasons, but that its members have a spiritual belief. Samfundsledaren to practice self nyandlighet, said: ”smaragdtavlan” is one of the indicative of scripture, and think himself to be spiritual forces at work. When the community (and facebook group) have been subject to audit have been threatened by them. The above photo has been touched up a minor storm in the English of the new-age community, where the samfundsledaren is not meant to be serious, and the adequate, harmonious, since she uses black magic. Samfundsledaren has hit back and stated that it was only anger that everyone thought it was black magic, really is ignorant, and that it was in a closed facebook group, which is an organic response to ”the spy” leaked the information. Other times, samfundsledaren wrote: ”much is that people don't dare to mess with the training of the artist to self-defense/.../Be warned”. Irrespective of any form of spirituality, is often used in an aggressive tone towards those who are trying to leak to warn others of the community in the course of action. A mother contacted me to tell and show the screen shots of when she was attacked by the samfundsledaren. After that, her mother warned the other, as to how a family will spread the measles in her area. Samfundsledaren said that if the mother does not remove the warnings, it will samfundsledaren to spread that there was a mother and her child, which was the source of the infection. Samfundsledaren boasts of itself, of other forms of harassment. In an open facebook page offers screen shots of when the samfundsledaren bullying ”läckare”. ”We will get back to you on a daily basis, you understand the bad news?” In 2015, was established in the community, and is being marketed as a place to think. Which one has the spiritual assembly, among other things. But it is also a place for a lot of activity. Not, at least in terms of the spread of measles. ”Maybe we'll be able to create a small smittohärdar in different parts of the world,” All based on a belief that chemical medicine is never noted, it is natural in the human body. As to the damage that you could get a chemical help, as the vaccine is worse than the illness that measles brings. Their views are to get extra protection when they are presented in a spiritual fashion. I do not think that we need to do an assessment of what is reasonable or proper, in the one faith, and one must, of course, to believe what they want",115,"sweden"
"2453","Measles : the United States is facing the worst outbreak of the disease in almost 20 years (SAD) RECORD - According to figures published Wednesday by Unicef, which reported 695 cases of measles since the beginning of the year, the United States is among the developed countries, the one with the most children not vaccinated against the disease, followed by France and the United Kingdom. The most recent was dated 2014. The United States record is currently the worst outbreak of measles since its elimination official in 2000, with the date of Wednesday, 695 cases recorded since the beginning of the year, according to the Centers for disease prevention (CDC). If 22 States in the u.s. are affected by the resurgence of this highly contagious disease, the pockets, the most important are located in the States of New York and Washington, according to the official body of american Health care. The State of New York is by far the most affected, with two main pockets, New York city (390 cases registered at the date to Wednesday) and in the county of Rockland, in the vast outskirts of new york city (199 cases at the April 22nd). In these two pockets, which have a large jewish population orthodox, the local authorities have declared a state of sanitary emergency for the hardest hit neighbourhoods, imposing constraints to the immunization for people without medical waiver, the strict control of the certificates of immunization in the schools, and fines to violators. The movement against vaccines in the viewfinder This new record comes on the background of the growing movement of anti-vaccine, parents opposed to vaccination of their children, citing exemptions religious that exist in most american States to circumvent the requirements of immunization in the schools. According to figures published Wednesday by Unicef, the United States are among the developed countries, the one with the most children not vaccinated against the disease, followed by France and the United Kingdom. The number of children under one year who have not received a first dose of vaccine over the period 2010-2017 in the United States amounted to 2.59 million, compared to 608.000 in France and 527.000 in the United Kingdom, this study indicates to the agency of the united nations for the protection of children, which is based on figures from the world Health Organization (WHO).

"3848","Jens Spahn wants to prescribe the measles vaccination by law. Against a mandatory scheme, it can be argued. Scientifically, everything speaks for the measles vaccination. Here are the 6 main reasons. For years doctors argue for the importance of measles vaccination. But in the convinced Impfgegnern they fall on deaf ears. Now the Minister of health, Jens Spahn is serious: He has brought a law that makes vaccination from March 2020 mandatory. Upon admission to the nursery or school parents for their children to have the vaccination. For children who are in Kindergarten or in the school, you must no later than 31. July 2021 to be shown that they are vaccinated or the measles already had. Vaccination is also for educators and educator day care centers, for teachers, childminders and Workers in medical facilities or ""community facilities"". This also includes asylum and refugee accommodation. Exceptions are only made if a medical certificate does not prove that a vaccination is due to health reasons. Also, all of the above, Born in 1970, are exempt from the vaccination because they are likely to be largely immune because they have had the measles, by. Although many physicians see the forced to this health measure is critical, but vaccination itself is nothing to be said. Quite the contrary: These six reasons for the measles vaccination 1. The vaccine is effective, vaccination with antigens, the disease can reduce risk to Zero. The corresponding Figures for Germany are from the former GDR, where the mandatory vaccination of 1970 was introduced. With the introduction of the 2. Vaccination – the hedge of protection by 1. Immunization – there were no measles outbreaks. 2. The vaccination protects all of us – even those who may not be vaccinated measles is highly contagious. In a non-vaccinated group as well as all the plug in in a short period of time according to the Domino principle. The infection bind to the shaft to 95 out of 100 people vaccinated. By the so-called herd immunity, even those are protected who are not vaccinated or not (yet) been vaccinated may be. Some infants under six months, people with an immune deficiency disease or following organ transplantation. What are the new vaccination will mean for us, read here. 3. The vaccine prevents the symptoms and complications of measles were long regarded as rather harmless children's disease, with rash and fever. These symptoms can also occur in the case of vaccination, but very much rarer and weaker than in the case of the disease. Today, it is clear that the measles infection rates, greater complication than the vaccination. It can lead to ear and lung infections, to inflammation, more rarely, the Brain. After all, occurs in every 500. Uncomplicated case of measles is an acute, in every 1000. up to 3000. Still years later, a deadly brain inflammation. Is at risk, especially those who are diseased in infancy of measles. 4. The vaccine is tolerated To 14 vaccinations in a short period of time, parents are for their children. Since the concern is not obvious whether so many foreign substances to overwhelm the small body and weak immune system. The number of antigens, however, is kept as small as possible. In the measles vaccination, there are ten, for all the vaccinations together 150 antigens. That sounds like a lot, but for comparison: the former smallpox vaccine alone contained nearly 200 antigens. It is no longer necessary today, because the mass vaccination has eradicated this severe disease in the us. 5. The vaccination of the measles virus eradicated, The world health organization once issued the ambitious goal of measles on all continents, to eradicate. In Germany, this goal should have been reached initially in 2015, but also the next target of 2020, will not hold. With a current vaccination Coverage of nearly 93 percent, and large gaps in the 1970's Born, it comes at us again and again to local measles outbreaks. This year already 500 measles cases were registered. 6. Vaccination is cheaper than the illness, A complete measles vaccination with two doses costs less than 100 Euro. In the usual combination vaccination, the protection against rubella and Mumps is included. The time required is for parents to be low. This is important when you are working. A child sick with the measles, it must be cared for, and the work force of at least one of the parents is part. A measles patient to the hospital – and that was in 2017, more than 40 percent, have calculated the health costs of well over 2000 Euro on average.

"6150","This morning Matteo Renzi on his page Facebook, commending himself to not want a campaign about vaccines, went on the attack of the Alloy, 5-Star Movement, Marco Travaglio, quoting a post of Roberto Burioni on vaccines and the measles that criticized the statements of the director of the Fact La7 own on the topic of vaccines (which we discussed here). Burioni told the story of Simone Tezzon: “I had the measles at the age of 44. I was not vaccinated.[...]. Now imagine a man of 44 years grappling with the problems of cough and high fever...and with a firm to carry on...what is she doing? You pads of paracetamol and works. Until one day early last year (2017) and falls. The p.s. make checks and send me urgently to the hospital S. Anna of san Fermo (CO). Imagine the primary...receiving a stretcher with a man of 44 years who has suffered in the way two heart attacks, lung...the collapse of a lung and a pulmonary embolism. Patient comatose... All of this for the measles...the patient is, in practice, dead. But that the primary...there it is, him and his team I do not let go for a second. Four days back to life. I call it, jokingly, Lazarus...but they are alive. However, they discover that the measles has eaten the nerves of my legs...and then I end up in a wheelchair. Between the therapies, and the race of the doctors, my dose of determination to get back on my feet...at the end of June are in the foot, helped by a brace while walking. Today, I walk normally. Thanks to the doctors and nurses who have done miracles, thanks to me that I'm not giving up. THANKS TO THE C@XXO...CHE WITH A VACCINE FOR FREE...AND IT'S ALL BEING TAKEN WOULD NOT HAVE HAPPENED.” Finally, Burioni has explained: ""When me and Marco Travaglio we were kids (I have two more years of him), measles was considered a normal thing. However, also turn in a car without seat belts or ride a Vespa without a helmet was a normal thing. And, indeed, every year – it is confirmed by the ISTAT data – they died hundreds of children with the measles, to which the vaccine is life-saving. Vacciniamo all and avoid the dealer"". Of course, as often happens, the statements of Roberto Burioni are finished in the discussion in that great pool of scientists that is the internet: different people will have recovered from a sentence of an old post Burioni where Burioni said: “for Those like me, born before the arrival of the vaccine, they are immune in 98-99% of cases”. And then the many qualified doctors on the internet have linked the two posts and come to the conclusion that Burioni's lying to you. How is it possible that an adult of 44 years has taken the measles if Burioni himself has said that adults are immune to 98-99%? Now, beyond the fact that mr. al Tezzon is younger than Burioni, and that the doctor at the San Raffaele has said that all adults are immunized, it is good to explain why the adults born before the introduction of the vaccine are almost all immune to measles. Also because different users have not understood why the proportion of immunized is so high when not all of the adults took the measles. Or better don't remember having taken. And is the memory the problem. Because the only way you can be sure that you have the measles is the serological test that checks for the presence of antibodies. Through these texts, it was observed that percentages between 97% and 99% of those born before the introduction of the vaccine have contracted the measles. There are people who say they “have not had the measles from the small” but it cannot be based on childhood memories. because they are not scientifically accurate. It is also possible that an individual has contracted a mild form of measles that was not identified as such. Statistically it has been observed that among those born before introduction of the vaccine, only 1 person out of 50 did not take the measles, and then appears not to be immunized. In a non-vaccinated population, the measles virus, contagiosissimo and issued by the patients in the two days prior to the onset of the disease (while the kids are at school with peers), infects almost all children. As a result, in a world that is not vaccinated (that is, one in which Burioni and Labor are grown), 98% of adults are immune because it took the disease as a child (and a few hundred, as they say, to the Istat data, is dead because of it). In a population such as ours, the vaccinated but in an insufficient manner, the virus circulates less, to which it is possible to overcome childhood without having taken without being vaccinated. In this situation, the average age of the infected is much higher, as is confirmed by the data ISS on the epidemic. In a vaccinated population in a sufficient manner, the measles simply isn't there. The infection is especially dangerous in children under one year and in adults, with a mortality rate, even in the presence of good care, which can never drop below 1:3000, even considering the people perfectly healthy. The vaccine for measles is available from 1976. Unfortunately, mr. Tezzon is one of those who have not taken the measles as children. EDIT: The response of Labor: ",113,"italy"

But despite this, in the Country there were very few cases of measles. In 2017, when available vaccines were vaccinated 90% of children, but it has happened a strange phenomenon: an explosion of cases of measles, bringing the number to over 12 thousand. What is happening in Ukraine and why the media does not speak of it? Measles in Ukraine Of the 12 thousand cases of measles by 2017 through may 2018, 9158 have required hospitalization opsedaliero, and 9 were cases of death. To curb the spread of the disease after the epidemic have been undertaken and additional measures. In 2008, 95% of children in ukraine has received the second and last dose of vaccine against measles, mumps and rubella. But by 2016 the rate of children vaccinated within the time limits established had fallen to 31%. In 2017 it is tried to restore the coverage of vaccination according to the routine immunisation programme, and by the end of the year 93% of children 1 year received the first dose of the vaccine and 91% of the children 6 the second dose. By the end of 2018 it would reach the coverage of 95%. The cause of the measles outbreak inUcraina could easily be attributed to rate of vaccination decrscente, which has led to 95% in 2008 to 31% in 2016, but the Osm distorts this figure, noting that in 2016 with a rate of vaccination of the 31% there were only 90 cases of measles confirmed. The MDGS , therefore, to note that with a low rate of vaccination, there was an epidemic, as happened in the previous three years from 2013 to 2015, only 50 cases of the measles. More vaccines more measles From July 2017, the WHO, Unicef and the ministry of public Health begin to increase the vaccination coverage. Immediately after they start to increase in cases of measles. What do you keep in mind, however, is to note the Journal of Medicine and the Dutch that in 2017 the public as follows: “Within 14 days after vaccination with the MMR, a patient may develop an illness similar to infection with a measles virus wild-type. The incidence of infection with the measles, the wild-type is low, then when this happens it is more likely that it is a response to vaccination. Further research may cause unrest among the parents, and then the words more reassuring, are more appropriate. ” The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention does note that “genotyping (which distinguishes the type or strain of the virus) is also the only way to distinguish if a person has an infection by measles virus wild-type or a rash caused from a recent measles vaccination. During outbreaks, is administered the measles vaccine to help control the epidemic and, in these situations, the vaccination reactions may be mistakenly classified as cases of measles. “ WHO manipulates the media cases of measles in Ukraine has been emphasized by the Who to make it mandatory for “irresponsible parents” to vaccinate their children? So, as in every case it was deserved the first page to create alarmism and concern? Dr. Zsuzsanna Jakab, WHO regional Director for Europe noted that “Each new person hit by measles in Europe reminds us that children and adults not vaccinated, regardless of where they live, remain at risk of contracting the disease and spreading it to others who might not be able to be vaccinated. More than 20,000 cases of measles and 35 lives lost only in 2017 are a tragedy that we simply cannot accept, ” But if 20 thousand cases in the whole of Europe is a tragedy 12 thousand cases only in Ukraine what are they?

According to the statistics, it died in the 10 years of the disease in 1930, 16 in 1952, 4 in 1956, and 8, 1965. At the end of the 30th century, and it was the deaths of more 60 people, and during the second world war, about 25 to 30 which may have their explanations, considering the circumstances, but it is still unusual at the time.

Närhälsans health centres is now calling for those who believe themselves to be infected with the disease have to get in touch with them before you come to them. ""We have asked our medical centers, to put up notices on the entrance doors so as to prevent any mässlingssjuka people come into our office,"" said Karin Rignér, chief medical officer at the Närhälsan.

"26815","Scientists have shown how measles causes long-term damage to the immune system, leaving people vulnerable to other infections.  The international team, which includes the Wellcome Sanger Institute, the University of Amsterdam and Imperial College London, revealed that the measles virus deletes part of the immune system’s memory, removing previously existing immunity to other infections, in both humans and ferrets.  The work shows for the first time that the virus resets the human immune system back to an immature state with only limited ability to respond to new infections.  According to the researchers, the findings explain why children often succumb to other infectious diseases after they have had measles and highlights the importance of getting vaccinated against measles.  The research, published in Science Immunology, also has implications for public health, as falling vaccination rates and resulting in rising cases of measles, which could also cause an increase in cases of other dangerous infections such as flu, diphtheria or tuberculosis, even in people who were previously immune.  Highly contagious  The measles virus is highly contagious and causes coughing, rashes and fever, and can lead to potentially fatal complications including pneumonia and encephalitis, leading to more than 100,000 deaths per year worldwide in unvaccinated communities.  A highly effective vaccine was introduced into the UK in the late 1960s, and the disease had been completely eliminated from the UK in 2017. However, measles cases are rising again. The UK vaccination rate has also dropped below the required level of 95 per cent of the population, leading to the UK losing its World Health Organisation (WHO) measles elimination status recently.  Measles could reverse the effects of vaccination against other infectious diseases. Professor Paul Kellam Department of Infectious Disease  It is known that measles weakens the immune system, even after the initial infection has cleared, but how the virus has this lasting effect on the body was unclear. During infection, people have fewer white blood cells, which protect the body against disease, and this is seen in the clinic as a low white blood cell count.  However, after a few weeks, the patient’s white blood cell count goes back up to previous levels and they have recovered from the measles, yet they are still much more susceptible to other infectious diseases.  To find out what measles does to the immune system, researchers looked at a group of non-vaccinated people in the Netherlands – from a non-vaccinating Orthodox Protestant community.  Blood samples were first taken from healthy volunteers from this community, who were followed-up for repeat sampling after a measles outbreak in 2013.  The researchers sequenced antibody genes from 26 children, before and 40-50 days after their measles infection. The team discovered that specific immune memory cells that had been built up against other diseases, and were present before the measles virus infection, had disappeared from the children’s blood. This would leave them vulnerable against infectious diseases they had previously been immune to.  Dr Velislava Petrova, lead author from the Wellcome Sanger Institute and Cambridge University, said: “This study is a direct demonstration in humans of ‘immunological amnesia’, where the immune system forgets how to respond to infections encountered before. We show that measles directly causes the loss of protection to other infectious diseases.”  Immunological amnesia  Researchers then tested this ‘immunological amnesia’ directly in ferrets, showing that infection with a measles-like virus reduced the level of flu antibodies in ferrets that had been previously vaccinated against flu. These ferrets also had worse flu symptoms when infected with flu virus after the measles-like infection.  “We showed that measles-like viruses can delete pre-existing flu immune memory from ferrets,” explains Professor Paul Kellam, from the Department of Infectious Disease at Imperial and previously from the Wellcome Sanger Institute.  The findings explain why children often succumb to other infectious diseases after they have had measles and highlights the importance of getting vaccinated.  “Even after the ferrets had been successfully vaccinated against flu, the measles-like virus reduced levels of flu antibodies resulting in the animals becoming susceptible to flu infection again and experiencing more severe flu-like symptoms. This shows that measles could reverse the effects of vaccination against other infectious diseases.”  The researchers also discovered that the measles virus resets the immune system to an immature state that can only make a limited repertoire of antibodies against disease. This means that measles makes it difficult for the immune system to respond to any new infections, increasing the risk of secondary diseases.  'Resetting' the immune system  Professor Colin Russell, senior author from the University of Amsterdam, Netherlands, said: “For the first time we see that measles resets the immune system and it becomes more baby-like, limiting how well it can respond to new infections.  ""In some children the effect is so strong it is similar to being given powerful immunosuppressive drugs. Our study has huge implications for vaccination and public health as we show that not only does measles vaccination protect people from measles, but also protects from other infectious diseases.”  The study reveals that it is extremely important that everyone who can be vaccinated, is vaccinated, to prevent the resurgence of measles and other diseases that we have developed immunity to in childhood or for which we vaccinate.  After measles, some children still show signs of immune suppression for up to five years although they appear healthy when their white blood cell counts are measured. This study shows how genetic techniques can reveal new mechanisms of disease that are undetectable using routine clinical tests, and that further research is needed to understand the full effects of measles.  Dr Charlie Weller, Head of Vaccines at Wellcome, said: “These findings further strengthen the vital role the MMR vaccine plays in public health and protecting us from deadly disease. It is yet another reminder of how important vaccines are as a vital resource in eliminating infectious disease.”  This article is based on materials provided by the Wellcome Sanger Institute.  -  ‘Incomplete genetic reconstitution of B cell pools contributes to prolonged immune suppression after measles’ is published in Science Immunology.

Yes, the number is considered to be under-rated, since it has been observed that many countries do not report all the cases to the european surveillance system. In February almost all countries showed an increasing trend of outbreaks compared with the previous two months, which probably portends a new outbreak of the disease. Overall, from 1 March 2018 to 28 February 2019 were reported in Europe 11.967 cases, 71% laboratory confirmed. This time, the more cases (2.498) were reported in Italy, followed by France with 2.474 incidents. Greece is in third place in a number of cases, with of 1 412 incidents for the above period. And while in absolute numbers, the country is third in Europe, has the highest ratio of cases per million population. Specifically, from March 2018 to February 2019 in Greece had at least 131 cases of measles for every million of the population. It is noted that the public record cases in Greece has stopped on 20 December 2018. However, the details of the ECDC Greece seems to have reported 1 outbreak last December, some in January and 3 cases in February.

Meanwhile, the United States are aware of the last few months, one of the largest epidemics of measles. New York declared a state of emergency and, indeed, in some areas the local courts banned the movement of unvaccinated children! As broadcast american media, the authorities shall also examine the possibility to impose compulsory vaccination. The measles was considered a ""forgotten"" disease, since it belongs to those that can be prevented 100% with vaccination.

"3850","Hamburg. With a immunization week, and a Large-scale immunization day, the health authority wants to provide better protection against infectious diseases such as measles. In the coming week will be advertised with posters and Social Media posts, senators can publicly vaccinated, the public health offices offer free consultations and vaccinations. The last measles cases have increased in Hamburg. Health Senator Cornelia Prüfer-Storcks (SPD), told the evening Gazette: ""the aim is to Vaccinate infectious diseases to contain and extinguish as it's ever been in the smallpox has been achieved."" This is only possible if the vaccination rates are still at a high level. ""Because if enough people are vaccinated in a population, or immune to a disease are, fellow human beings are protected, can not be vaccinated for various reasons, even."" Vaccination is probably starting in March And this goal is in danger. In the years of 2014 to 2018, it was in Hamburg, 133 measles cases. The immunization Coverage stood at the school entrance examinations in 2017, with just 93.5 per cent. A safe shelter is only a ratio of at least 95 percent of the supplies. Prüfer-Storcks referred in this connection to the vaccination, which is likely to apply from March next year. The law is currently being discussed in the Bundestag. Parents who are able to demonstrate for their children upon entry into school or daycare with no measles vaccination, faces a fine of up to 2500 euros. The most important day of the immunization week Wednesday, 6. November. All health offices (except in middle) take from 15 to 18 PM free vaccinations. The day before members of the Senate get vaccinated. Meanwhile, a new study by the Barmer Ersatzkasse shows that the Hamburg-based measles vaccination Coverage could even be below 93.3 percent. Hamburg's children significantly less frequently vaccinated than Many small thought children and young people in Hamburg are not vaccinated enough to Barmer, at least according to an analysis of data related to your Hamburger Insured persons who were insured up to 2017, consistent with the health insurance. So 2017 was the 919 children under the age of six years, who were insured with the Barmer: no 13 of the Standing Committee on vaccination (STIKO) recommended vaccination against Tetanus, whooping cough and polio in a vaccination Coverage of 90 percent or better was achieved. You think it is right that breaches of the vaccination with a high monetary penalty to be punished? Yes no in order for the values of the Barmer are at least-Insured, significantly below the vaccination rates, which had determined that the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) in 2017, at the school entrance examinations of 18.199 children in Hamburg, mind you, only on the basis of impfausw iron. According to RKI, 93.1 percent of the children in Hamburg were at that time in the school enrolment age are vaccinated against Tetanus, Barmer for their Insured to 86.8 percent. The RKI, according to 86.2 percent of these children were vaccinated against Hepatitis B, Barmer comes to 76.9 per cent. Against measles, Mumps and rubella were vaccinated according to RKI, 93.3 percent of these children, the Barmer identified for their Insured to a value of 89.9 percent. Herd immunity only when vaccination Coverage of 95 per cent Until a vaccination Coverage of 95 percent is achieved, a so-called herd immunity, that is, the vaccination Coverage is so high that the children are protected, can not be vaccinated. ""Certain infection, eradicate diseases, much remains to be done,"" said Frank Liedtke, managing Director of Barmer in Hamburg at the presentation of the study on Tuesday. ""There is still skepticism and possible Fears of vaccinations available, we need target-group-specific vaccination campaigns to eliminate it."" According to the Barmer, their study shows a realistic picture of the Coverage. The RKI does not take into account the vaccination status of children who do not present a vaccination certificate. ""This leads to higher, unrealistic vaccination rates, because non-vaccinated children have also, of course, no vaccination certificate"", inform the insurance company. More than 3000 two-year-old with incomplete measles protection Barmer has some of their data for Hamburg, extrapolated, assumed that the vaccination rates are at Hamburg's children and young people, who are insured by other funds, on a similar level. Example, measles: From 1327 Barmer-Insured at the age of two years were 215 (16.2 percent) in the first two years of life are not or incompletely vaccinated against measles . Extrapolated to the total 19.374 two years in Hamburg in the year 2017, which could mean that this year, 3138, two years in the Hanseatic city not have full measles had protection. Of the Barmer insured children in that age 45 is no, the 13 recommended vaccinations were received. Extrapolated, this would mean: In the whole of Hamburg, 660 two-year-old could not have been vaccinated in the year 2017, against 13 infectious diseases. The merciful has compared the data of their Insured nationwide. For Hamburg shows that the vaccination status of the six-year-old children is at most 13 of the STIKO-recommended vaccinations such as in the German average, with two exceptions. The measles vaccination Coverage is 89.9 percent in Hamburg than the national average of 88.8%. Significantly worse in the Barmer insured girls with respect to vaccination against human papilloma virus (HPV), which, at worst, can cause cervical cancer. In Hamburg, only 44.4 percent of 12-year-old girl in the year 2017 had a complete HPV-protection – the national average is at 53.1 percent, as the barmen tells.",112,"germany"
"3851","In the debate about the measles, the German ethics Council has spoken out against a General vaccination. In a Thursday statement, the panel recommends a compulsory vaccination for certain occupational groups in the health sector and in the field of education. A General state mandatory vaccination for all adults or children, by contrast, was ""justified"". The panel of experts based on the overall high vaccination rates in infants and school children. The world health organization (WHO) defined by a vaccination rate of 95 percent for the second measles vaccination, which is for the elimination of the disease is necessary, whether in children, ""in principle, without coercion accessible"". 2017 97.1 percent of school beginners were nationwide, once vaccinated against measles, the second dose had 92.8 percent. The relatively large group of unvaccinated adults should be addressed with special education and vaccination campaigns. Legal constraints should, in principle, ""only as a last resort to be used"" when all other low-schwelligeren measures such as awareness-raising campaigns were pushed to their limits, the 107-page paper by the ethics Council. At the same time, the expert sees a ""General moral obligation"" to allow himself a shot for the measles, and to provide for the Vaccination of their own children. It's not a pure private ""matter, whether it is against a highly contagious infectious disease such as measles vaccination"". It justified the ethics Council, however, considers a mandatory vaccination for ""occupational groups in a special responsibility."" First and foremost, this would be staff in the health, Social and education area, the infection could continue to give. This includes hospital, doctors as well as nurses or staff in day care centers. The panel is also in favour of sanctions. In the absence of measles vaccination, the Question could be sanctioned with a disqualification. Only one member of the ethics Council spoke out against any Form of a state compulsory vaccination. Further sanctions, such as the – only in exceptional cases, such as for the warding off of danger, justified the exclusion of unvaccinated children from daycare centers or schools, as well as fines to the ethics Council rejects because children would have to suffer socially or financially disadvantaged parents are much stronger. Spahn wants to measles vaccination, Federal health Minister Jens Spahn (CDU) wants to introduce to the March next year, a legal obligation to measles vaccination.

Spahn welcomed the appeal made by the ethics Council, according to which each was for measles vaccination is a moral obligation. ""However, I believe that it is necessary to make this duty mandatory,"" said Spahn, and confirmed his plans for a legal vaccination. The goal is that at least the children and their caregivers, and medical personnel would be vaccinated. ""We can eradicate measles. For this we need the vaccination.“ Measles is a highly contagious disease. The illness numbers in Germany vary from year to year.

The decree that will arrive next week in the council of ministers as confirmed by the president of the Council, Paolo Gentiloni, which ensures it will be the result of a decision as ""collegial"". So, the government has passed the impasse after the hectic day of Thursday. Before the announcement of the minister of Health, Beatrice Lorenzin, on arrival yesterday in the Cdm of the decree on the obligation of vaccination, immediately followed by a statement of the minister of Education, Valeria fedeli much more cautious on the principle of the obligation. Then the decided denial of the Palazzo Chigi has put the hands ahead, denying there was the order of the day the measure.

"7755","That's the conclusion of a study led by dr Rik de Swart from the department of Viroscience of the Erasmus MC. Measles weakens the immune system, leaving children, after recovery from measles are more susceptible to other infectious diseases. The study, published in Nature Communications. In an epidemiological study, which was published in BMJ Open, showed the same research group shows that children until a few years after the measles vaccine, on average, more infections are going through, than children who are not at risk from measles have had to be. Severity is underestimated Measles is a highly contagious disease that is spread through the air. Global causes of the disease are every year more and more than 85,000 deaths. In Europe, there is an increasing number of mazelengevallen seen, mainly due to a decline of confidence in the safety and efficacy of vaccination. What is this, an important part of it is that people will have the disease for which it is inoculated, are less likely to see the seriousness of this disease, alone. It is, therefore, important for the disease process that the measles virus causes it to be easier to understand. Natural infection was found In 2013, took place in the Netherlands, a large mazelenepidemie place, especially in the bevindelijk of the Dutch reformed community, and many of the children from the religious considerations, does not need to be vaccinated. Thanks to the generosity of these ongevaccineerde the children and their parents were, researchers from the Erasmus MC, is a unique study to assess the quality of the natural mazeleninfecties. ‘Measles is not a harmless childhood illness’ Cells, The researchers have found in these children's blood samples collected before, during, and after the experience of the center. In the samples collected during the acute phase of the disease, they were able to show that the measles virus is especially in the cells of the immune system to infect. In the pair-matched samples of children, collected before and after the experience of the center, they were able to show that the populations of cells in the blood for several weeks after the disease is changed. The cells of the immune system to remain in the body after recovery from a previous infection. In the case of repeated exposure to the same disease, the immune system, these cells rapidly respond to, and the disease is nipped in the bud. Weakened The measles virus infects many cells, so the immunity to previously experienced infections is weakened. This mechanism is the “immunological memory” is mentioned. Touch, Together, contribute to the two publications new evidence that the measles vaccine is an attack against the immune system, the effects of which are a few months to a couple of years can be maintained. Passed The examinations were conducted under the direction of dr. Rik de Swart from the department of Viroscience of the Erasmus MC. Of the Blacks, “Especially in countries with poor health care, it is at risk from measles death are to high. In the Netherlands, the probability of happiness small as a result of measles to die, but as the coverage continues to fall, it will have the disease in the Netherlands are more common. And mazelenpatiënten in the months and years that followed, other infectious diseases are taken in. Measles is not a harmless childhood illness, but it is a serious infection of the immune system and the respiratory system after the initial recovery of the immune system of the host, even in the long term, not a weakness. Through vaccination, we can be at risk from measles is reduced and the world is much to serious illness and death prevented.”",112,"netherlands"

The Problem: Though the country will apply in the US Impfstandards for Kindergarten and elementary school children. However, in almost all of the 50 U.S. States, it is possible to escape from personal, religious, or philosophical reasons, the Vaccinate – and, over the years, accumulated number of Impfgegnern makes use of it.

The circular issued on Friday by the ministries of Health and of Education expects that parents, for kindergarten small, it is enough to only self-certification (without the copy of your booking confirmation) and these take shape in a blow to the hopes of those among the antivaccinisti in the last few weeks was a scatterbrain to offer solutions to their fellow students: ""You can do it"". What? Certain not to vaccinate, but the evade still, and as long as possible, the law ""fascist"" that requires ""poison"" the children in the name of science. On the page Facebook of the Comilva, the Coordination of the Italian movement for the freedom of vaccinations, the tones are not calm. Is there, among the almost 29mila followers, that is the measure of the accelerated pulse of the people is orange: ""My son has not undergone any vaccination, what should I do to enroll?"", ""There is a referent to Varese?"", ""Where can I find the references of already constituted groups? I'm new in Milan and I would like to know who I could turn to"". And again: ""Correct if I'm wrong. I have to make a reservation for the vaccination to the Asl that I will never do naturally?"". Between the post and the comments one after the other, posters of the events planned all over Italy in these days, from Trieste, italy to Matera from Rimini to Genoa to Catania: ""the informational Meeting vaccines. What has changed and how to behave, "" say. The “self-certification "" atypical”. There is then the link – the key – the page of the site of the Comilva in which you explain in detail, mums and dads, of how to proceed. Here everything revolves around the self-certification, that the novax define atypical. Not to blame, since the so-called substitute declaration of certification – which, by law, can be produced in replacement of specific certificates – should relate to conditions that must already be known to the Public administration and which do not include the vaccines, or medical certificates. But so, the law provides for the possibility, and on this the Comilva ra - jonah. Starting with a clear message, put it in black and white: the self-certification must certify that the facts existing, not future conditions (albeit hypothetical)"". Therefore, this ""self-certification"" does not establish a contract, promise or agreement of any kind."" It is simply, then, fill in the fac-similar drawn up by the lawyers of the Coordination and provided in word format, which claims to have ""submitted a formal request for appointment to the eventual execution of the vaccinations required."" If the form is slightly different from the others, will pass unharmed under the eyes of those who, in the busy school secretary, shall have the authority to spend the hundreds of self-certifications, that's good. If some diligent official who intends to ""enforce to the letter the instructions contained in these institutional documents"" dispute form ""must not give in to their pressures. You have to insist. Waste of your documentation constitute an abuse of power and should be challenged legally "". The “measles party”. And the deadline of march 10 for the presentation of the actual documents of the successful vaccination? Not scares. There is time to get the judgment of the Constitutional Court (the Veneto region has contested the decree), why in the name of bureaucratic difficulties in something else changes in the implementation of the law and, above all, because the kids are sick. Among the the latest fashions of the most intergalisti between the no-vax is back, in fact in vogue, that of the “chicken pox party” and of the “measles party”: we will put you in contact privately on the social network, you announce that your little one has contracted the infectious disease, and open the doors of the house to those who prefer the disease to the vaccine. In the group, Facebook reported a few days ago to the supervisor of the childhood and adolescence of the Marche region, Andrea Nobili – and the latter reported to the postal Police, which has obscured – and it organized the meetings between the children to ""immunize in a natural way, and the life his own son as the once"". And it was registered to 400 people. But there are also many ads on the bulletin boards, private: ""Hi everyone,"" wrote a mom on August 11th, always on Facebook – I would like to make an appeal to all.

Deaths from the disease have risen dramatically in the last year. Almost all the deaths from the virus have occurred in unvaccinated individuals, despite the fact that there is a safe and effective vaccine. Answers to the questions for the prevention of, and protection from the virus gives the article the two experts below. According to the last report of epidemiological surveillance of the CDC, in Greece have been recorded since the beginning of last year, 100 cases of measles, with a higher frequency in Southern Greece. It concerns mostly children from Roma communities as well as non-vaccinated or incompletely vaccinated individuals from the general population, including health professionals. In an effort to investigate the causes of this alarming outbreak of measles it is worth to make a historical review of events that led to the big gaps in the vaccination coverage of citizens. The citizens ' trust in immunisation is an important global health issue as the lack of trust leads people to reject possibly life-saving vaccines. In the United Kingdom, the integration of the MMR vaccine (measles-rubella-mumps) in the mandatory vaccination program was discontinued in the early 2000, after a series of publications of Andrew Wakefield linking the administration with the appearance of autism. Subsequent epidemiological investigations have demonstrated that their claims Wakefield was completely unfounded and untrue, however, from 1998 to 2004, vaccinations with the MMR declined sharply, which resulted in the emergence of epidemics of measles. The extremely contagious at this viral infection responsible for the illness of 14,000 people and the death of 41 of them in Romania, Italy, Germany, <U+03A0><U+03C1><U+03BF><U+03C4><U+03BF><U+03B3><U+03B1><U+03BB><U+03AF><U+03B1> and in other european countries. The most recent death was that of a 6<U+03C7><U+03C1><U+03BF><U+03BD><U+03BF><U+03C5> boy in Italy who died on the 22nd of June.

Typical example of Romania. Before 10 years, the vaccination rates in Romania were close to 97%. However, several events have caused a sharp decline. In 2013, a television producer led a <U+03B1><U+03BD><U+03C4><U+03B9><U+03B5>µß<U+03BF><U+03BB><U+03B9><U+03B1><U+03C3><U+03C4><U+03B9><U+03BA><U+03BF><U+03CD> movement in Romania, which was also supported by a conservative religious movement. The lack of vaccines has exacerbated the problem, as well as the difficulty to be vaccinated for certain minorities (such as the Romanian roma) and the rural inhabitants. Within three years, the rates of vaccination fell from 92% to 80%. Even in countries with very high rates of vaccination can there are outbreaks in non-vaccinated individuals. Portugal has one of the highest rates of vaccination (98%), however in the last measles epidemic observed there, almost 1 of the cases involved workers in the health sector. The immigration may is also a source of new cases in countries with high immunization rates. In Slovakia, the last case of measles was a 25-year-old non-vaccinated student from Italy. Respectively, in Hungary, where immunization rates are touching 95% in 2017 were recorded 54 cases of measles near the border of the country with Romania. Measles is not a harmless disease. It is extremely infectious and dangerous disease. Usually appears at the end of winter and beginning of spring. It is transmitted very quickly in populations that have not been vaccinated, by direct contact or <U+03B1><U+03B5><U+03C1><U+03BF><U+03B3><U+03B5><U+03BD><U+03CE><U+03C2> with coughing and sneezing. The incubation period of measles is 10-12 days from exposure to the virus until the <U+03AD><U+03BA><U+03B8><U+03C5><U+03C3><U+03B7> of the rash involved an average of 14 days . The transmission is made 4 days before the <U+03AD><U+03BA><U+03B8><U+03C5><U+03C3><U+03B7> of the rash to 4 days after. The diagnosis of measles is essentially clinical. The disease is associated with a series of complications such as pneumonia, meningitis, middle purulent otitis, gastroenteritis or encephalitis. Measles can also cause subacute sclerosing <U+03C0><U+03B1><U+03BD><U+03B5><U+03B3><U+03BA><U+03B5><U+03C6><U+03B1><U+03BB><U+03AF><U+03C4><U+03B9><U+03B4><U+03B1>, a very serious condition that leads to progressive collapse of the central nervous system. The disease is most severe in infants and adults , people who are not fed well or is immunocompromised for some reason (infection from HIV, leukemia, lymphoma, malignancy or radiotherapy). The World Health Organization has recommended vaccination of at least 95% of the world's population. If this goal is achieved, it will significantly reduce the possibility of spread of the virus. The high rates of vaccination also creates a protective barrier known as ""herd immunity"". However, the reduction of vaccinations can cause new epidemics of the disease. If the overall vaccination rates fall below 95%, the disease will begin to be transmitted directly to and causing illness and deaths. This has already started happening in Europe and several countries, such as Germany, France and Italy have begun to take measures for the prevention of new cases. Measles should have been eliminated.

"356","For the second year in a row, in a number of European countries, with a marked increase in the number of cases of the measles vaccine. The last year has been especially the case in Romania and Italy. Now, among other things, also in France and Greece have been affected. Also, a popular holiday destination for the Belgians, there is an outbreak of the disease. The European Centre for disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), which is part of the European Union, had warned at the beginning of this year, an epidemic of drug abuse. Easy, if you look at the numbers. In 2016, it had been published on a 4.643 at the EU level. During the past year, to nearly 10,000 cases, with 14.451-registered patients. 86 per cent of them turned out to not be vaccinated.

In Belgium, recommends that the Agency for Health Care anyway, in order to vaccinations, to check to see if you are going on a trip, even if you do not have far to travel. “If you're not, or are not fully vaccinated against measles, may be it makes sense to have this vaccination to be complete”, says the Agency. And there are definitely some age-groups in our country who have not been vaccinated are up. Our country was started in 1985, the vaccine against measles, mumps, and rubella (mmr) for a year-old. The vaccinations were, however, not yet well established. That is to say, that this is a part of the present of young adults to the vaccine however, is not completely received. And for people older than 33 years old to have the vaccine, therefore, was never received, and some of them had the disease when they were young, so they will not automatically be resistant to it. People born before 1965, however, almost all of them have the measles and the disease is now, not anymore. High vaccination rates with A vaccine against measles has been available in our country is mandatory, however, the coverage rate is very high, particularly in Flanders, if that is the case, with a vaccination rate of 95 per cent for the first dose, and 92,5% for the second dose. In wallonia score worse. There is, of 75.5 per cent, and achieved what is for the second dose of respect. That's one of the reasons that last year we had an outbreak of measles in the region. (read more below the picture) On the card with the details of the 2016 (that is, it is BEGUN in may 2018 spread) there are 4 countries that have a poor record on the European level, with regard to the second dose level that is required to be vaccinated against the measles. Not coincidentally, those countries are: France, Italy, Greece, turkey, and Romania) was also affected by the disease. Photo: ECDC, among others, In Greece and Romania, where the number of mazelengevallen also at a high level, there is no compulsory vaccination, but it is also not automatically a high coverage rate. In Italy and France, there was, until recently, the absence of a compulsory vaccination against measles. That is, in such a way that: since the beginning of this year, babies in France are obliged to get vaccinated against the disease. In Italy last year and decided to take all of the children are under the age of 17 years to be vaccinated. The national vaccinatieplannen, The EU argues, in the meantime, the European co-ordination of what the vaccinations are concerned. The low coverage rates in one member state in the Europe without internal borders, the health of the people in the other member states will be in danger. The goal is that by 2020, all member states have set national vaccinatieplannen have, among other things, the vaccination coverage against measles in the whole of Europe to not less than 95 per cent of charge. This is also the goal of the world health organization. What are the measles? The measles are one of the most contagious infectious diseases and may be caused by the measles virus. It is a typical childhood illness that mainly occurs in children between the ages of 1 and 6 years of age. The disease can take up to two weeks, and it is going to come up, but they can be very, very sick of it. Thus, the disease may be, for example, lead to complications, such as ear infections, diarrhea, pneumonia, strep throat or encephalitis. Measles have been one of the leading causes of death among children. For an adult it can be fatal. In the 1980's, so a high number of measles have been vaccinated, was, were, on an annual basis, an estimated 2.6 million people with the disease. The symptoms of measles are red spots that start behind the ears and spreading over the whole body, over a period of three days, a high fever, a very sick idea, not the light-hearted and not to be active, eye inflammation or red eyes, a cough, a cold or a runny nose. The disease is transmitted by airborne vochtdruppeltjes of the nose, throat, and mouth, in direct contact with the mucus, or phlegm, and sometimes by contaminated items or surfaces.",110,"belgium"

The vaccine is a preventive tool, truly effective if 95% of the population is covered. This important campaign, supported by the world health Organization (WHO) shows at least one thing : despite the Ebola epidemic is ongoing in the east of the country, the health authorities do not forget about the other two outbreaks.

Councillor Éilis Ryan is tabling a motion next month calling on the council to help inform and educate people about the benefits of measles vaccinations.  The HSE says 13 cases of measles have been confirmed in that area of the city since July.  Councillor Ryan says the council should be leading the way towards a compulsory vaccination programme.  ""All children who used shared services, whether that's childcare, education, or youth and sports facilities, need to be vaccinated before they can access them,"" she said.  ""I think we can do that by making a policy in our own leisure centres and also by making a statement to the council that we believe that, nationally, the government should make a policy in favour of mandatory vaccination.""  However, Anthony Staines, who is a Professor of Health Systems at DCU, has said that while he is not against the idea of mandatory vaccinations, other measures must also be considered to improve the uptake.  Prof Staines says that making vaccinations mandatory could lead to potential backlash due to some peoples' views on immunisation.  ""What you could be doing is giving a lot of oxygen to very peculiar views about vaccination,"" he said.  ""There are a lot of people out there who have very odd beliefs about vaccination which are simply untrue.""

"387","© Jelleke Vanooteghem, In the news, An outbreak of the measles virus reduces resistance to other diseases, and to clear the 'memory' of the immune system. According to a British-Dutch research with children in a mazelenuitbraak, which in 2013 took place. Where did this news come from? Measles is a dangerous infection with potentially serious complications, such as lung, brain, and the risk of death of 1 in 1000. In addition, there is already evidence that children who have measles with or without complications have been through, after all the time and more susceptible for other infections. This assumption is now being investigated by British and Dutch researchers, in two studies in which blood samples from 77 children in the Netherlands, which for religious reasons has not been vaccinated had the measles went through the (1). These children were blood samples examined before and after the measles had gone through. In both studies, there were a whole series of infectious diseases with specific antibodies, which will protect children from a wide variety of infections, were analyzed. The first study used a new technique (VirScan), and found that after two months, the experience of measles the total number of infectious diseases against which the antibodies were reduced by 11% to 73%, in comparison with it. This is particularly important for cells of our immune system that is a result of an earlier contact with the disease-causing organisms, and will normally be a second attack by the same pathogen is prevented by a highly specific antibody is rapidly produced. This is a reduction of the antistofdiversiteit was not observed in the control groups, people who have measles were vaccinated or non-vaccinated children who have measles had not been made. In the second study were similar to findings: the experience of the measles, mumps, turned out to be a big part of the antibodies have disappeared, as if the immune system is ‘reset’ to a pristine state. The authors also noticed that the mazelenvaccin itself that is undermining the immunity is not induced. The researchers conclude that the experience of the center of the resistance, at least for a number of weeks to reduce and estimate that it will take months to years, it may take a while before the immune system fully restored.

But the fact is that the flu struck far more to death in the course of one season than measles fx did in the years before that, the maslingevaccinen was a part of the childhood immunisation programme in 1987. Influenza and measles are two different infectious diseases. Those who die of measles are, for example, often the smaller children. The flu goes rather hard in addition to the elderly and people who already weakened. But despite the differences, both diseases can be deadly. So why have researchers developed a universal vaccine, which makes us lifelong immune to the flu, in the same way as maslingevaccinen for the measles? - The short answer is that it will we also like. But influenza is cunning, and it has not yet managed to make a universal vaccination, "" says senior researcher at the National Influenzacenter at the Statens Serum Institut, Ramona Trebbien.

Flu closes itself into your cells in Order to understand it, we just geek out a little biology. Influenza caused by a virus. Roughly speaking, it consists only of a protective shell with no material inside. It can not survive outside of the 'hack' of our cells. When an influenza virus enters our body, it has a kind of molecules, which can be described as ’the keys’, on its surface. It is the molecules that make our cells cheating to close the check. And inside the cells cheat the system to make thousands of copies of itself. Copies, which can then infect other cells.

Against measles, Unicef is launching a ""wake up call"". In a press release published on 1 march, the united Nations agency for children highlights the fact that globally, 98 countries have reported a greater number of cases of measles in 2018 compared to 2017. However, there is a vaccine against this disease, ""safe, effective, and inexpensive, which has saved nearly a million lives each year over the past two decades,"" said the Unicef executive director, Henrietta Fore. More than 2,800 cases reported in France in 2018 France is not at rest. It happens even in tenth position on the list will alert the Unicef. And in its latest epidemiological bulletin devoted to the measles, public Health in France reports a resurgence of the disease since the end of 2017 after a decline from 2012 to 2016. To 11 November 2018, it were more than 2,800 reported cases in the year, including three deaths. According to the ARS Auvergne, Rhône-Alpes, at the 4 February 2019, 18 cases occurred in the ski resort of Val Thorens, in Savoy. Outside of this outbreak in addition, 12 other cases were reported in Auvergne, Rhône-Alpes, of which 7 are in the Rhone, 2 in the Drome region and in the district of Ain, Loire and Haute-Savoie. Eight cases had been identified in the region by 2016, compared to 45 in 2017 and 84 in 2018. A potentially deadly disease measles is a potentially fatal disease. The complications of the disease can be severe, with pneumonia or encephalitis, ending sometimes in death. If a sufficient proportion of the population is properly vaccinated, the virus cannot find the relay, may not be spread, and thus infect fragile persons (children who have not received two doses of vaccine, immunocompromised persons, persons who did not respond to the vaccine, and the other people who have not been vaccinated). The vaccination consists of two injections given between 12 and 18 months. It is currently estimated that a rate of 95% immunization provide immunization coverage to be effective. However, this rate is much lower in Europe, especially in France. Get to the point ! Measles ? I have been vaccinated. Finally... I think... The measles vaccine was introduced in the immunization schedule in French in 1983 for all infants. It was a recommended vaccine – and non-compulsory, as is now the case for children born from 2018. Very many parents have long followed this recommendation. According to the recommended diagram, a first injection has been frequently performed at the age of 12 months, and then a second between 16 and 18 months. But the world has not benefited from this double injection. To find out if this is indeed the case, ask your doctor or pharmacist to check your health book. If you have received no injection or a single injection in your childhood, read the rest of this article. I was born before 1980, should I get vaccinated ? There is a very strong likelihood that you are already immune. In countries where studies have been conducted, it is seen that the children born before the introduction of vaccination have a high probability of having been exposed to the virus and contracted the disease [1]. In France, 98.8% of people born between the early 1960s and 1980s have contracted the disease (99.8 per cent for those born before the 1960s). Before the introduction of vaccines, countries such as France considered the infection during childhood as a phenomenon almost inevitable [2]. However, it is recommended to the individuals born before 1980 who exercise a profession of health or by being in contact with young children to get the vaccine if no history of measles is recorded in their health record. The vaccine is reimbursed 65% by social Security. In this advanced age, one dose is sufficient (see below). I have not received a dose of vaccine as a child, am I well protected ? According to the immunization schedule is current French for children born between 1983 and 2018, first dose was recommended at 12 months and a second between 16 and 18 months. We do not vaccinate against measles before 12 months, because antibodies from the mother are still circulating in the organism of the child. Introducing an antigen characteristic of measles in a baby's body would involve these antibodies, but would not put in motion the own immune system of the baby ! It is only when the maternal antibodies have disappeared as the antigen will lead to the anticipated response in a vaccination : learn to recognize an antigen and produce antibodies against it, without as much as a pathology develops. However, in a number of children, vaccination at 12 months fails because of the persistence of maternal antibodies. A second injection is, therefore, indispensable a few months later to be virtually certain that the reaction is expected to occur. If a single injection at an age when maternal antibodies have disappeared is sufficient, why vaccinate at 12 months ? Precisely because at this age, many children are already the most protected. The idea is to protect a maximum number of children receptive as soon as possible. If you have not received a single dose of vaccine at 12 months, you may be protected... but nothing is certain. This is why it is advisable to receive a second dose of the vaccine later in his life. Before 17 years, the social Security pays for this vaccine to 100%. Beyond that, the reimbursement is 65%. Is it possible to catch measles despite being vaccinated ? As we have seen, the people who have received only one dose of vaccine may catch the measles. If two injections were performed, the likelihood of developing measles is extremely low. The Inpes is estimated that 5 to 10% of people vaccinated against measles do not respond to the first dose, but that at least 90% of those who did not respond to the first dose will respond to the second. the drafting of Allodocteurs.fr Thanks to Measles Epidemiology and Vaccine France - Information ",105,"france"

The health authorities in costa rican have, therefore, placed in quarantine for a period of one week in the hospital Monsenor Sanabria de Puntarenas and are in search of all the people who would have been in contact with these three tourists, reports the local newspaper La Nación. Also read : Why measles is so contagious ? National warning : all children costa ricans are not immunized, But why such a reaction ? The last case of measles in Costa Rica, also imported from another country, dates back to the year 2014. And if the health authorities had anticipated that at any time the virus re-enters the country, the people are not yet sufficiently protected. Because in December 2018, Costa Rica has launched a huge vaccination campaign against measles for 770 000 children aged 15 months to 10 years. But to this day, approximately 100,000 doses have not been administered. Not only do the three French therefore see their holiday turn sour, but their behavior is very much in danger the local population. Heavy after-effects and the risk of death in the Face of the presence of the virus in the territory, the Ministry costa rican health ""application for the parents and guardians of minors to ensure that children benefit from the vaccination program complete"", which consists of two separate doses at least a month. In parallel, 26 people who have been in contact with the family of French vacationers in their hotel in San José, the capital of the country, have received emergency vaccination. The newspaper La nacion recalls that the measles is a highly contagious virus, which is transmitted via sneezing or talking to them. It is manifested by skin rash, cough, fever, muscle aches, conjunctivitis, and sore throat. An infographic rather dramatic recalls the risk of pneumonia, encephalitis, and especially mortality, in particular among children under five years of age. An outbreak of measles world-wide vaccination campaign of measles in Costa Rica responds to an increase of cases in the world and particularly in neighbouring countries in central and South America such as Venezuela and Nicaragua. On 14 February 2019, the world Health Organization (WHO) warned his side about the measles outbreak on a global scale, with a rise in reported cases of 50% by 2018 compared to 2017, primarily as a result of the multiplication of the movements anti-vaccine. In Japan, the religious group Kyusei Shinkyo activist against modern medicine and, therefore, against the vaccination has presented his apologies in public on the 22nd of January last in recognizing its responsibility in the measles epidemic which is currently hitting the country of the rising sun.",104,"france"
"5166","HSE urges adults under 40 to get MMR vaccine following measles outbreak  23 cases of measles have been reported in the Mid-West region in 2018 so far.  An outbreak of measles has been confirmed in Ireland's Mid-West.  23 cases of the viral illness have been reported in the region, with most of those cases reported in Limerick. One case has also been reported in Clare.  The HSE is providing free MMR vaccination clinics, with no need for an appointment, in Barrack View Primary Care Centre, Edward Street, Limerick on Thursday, 22 and Thursday, 29 March, as well as Thursday, 5 and Thursday, 12 April between 3pm and 4pm.  As part of the outbreak control measures, the MMR vaccine is also being provided free through GPs. The HSE is paying for the vaccine and for the GPs to give the vaccine.  The HSE released a statement on their website advising all adults under the age of 40 to make use of the free service, in an attempt to eschew the spread of infection.  ""We are asking all adults aged under 40 to check if they have had two doses of MMR and if not to arrange to get immunised by their GP,"" the statement read.  ""The following groups, in particular, should check if they have had two doses of MMR and if not, visit their GP to get immunised as soon as possible. If people do not have a medical record of their vaccination it is not harmful to have extra doses to be on the safe side.  Parents under the age of 40 who have never had measles or haven’t had the full course of MMR vaccine.  Adults under the age of 40 who work with the public. Some jobs pose more of a risk than others e.g. people who work with children, people who work in healthcare. This is as measles is very infectious and as this outbreak continues the risk of exposure continues.  Couples under the age of 40 who may be planning a family. This is as once a woman is pregnant she is unable to get the MMR vaccine until after the baby arrives. Measles increases the risk of miscarriage and still birth. There is no treatment available which reduces this risk.  Adults and young people under the age of 40 who plan to travel abroad in the coming months. There are a number of large outbreaks of measles in the UK, Europe and across the world currently. Measles can be transmitted easily within the confined space of an airplane to people who are non-immune.  It is also important that parents of children in the region also check if their children have had the vaccines appropriate for their age (1st one at 1 year, 2nd one in Junior Infants in primary school). Parents whose children are sitting exams may wish to prioritise this due to the potential disruption to their exams an infection could cause. It is also especially important in those who are planning to bring their children abroad.  People who cannot get the MMR vaccine i.e. young infants, pregnant women and those whose immune systems are weakened (cancer patients etc.) are relying on the people around them who can get the MMR vaccine to help protect them.  The statement went on to say that people who have persisting symptoms of measles infection (rash, fever, cough, temperature) should stay home from work and school and avoid presenting to the emergency department where possible.",104,"ireland"
"5167","A measles outbreak across Donegal is increasing with the HSE now confirming that there are seven confirmed cases of the disease.  Additional suspect cases are currently being investigated.  A number of children who were exposed to measles have been advised to remain at home to prevent further spread of the virus.  The HSE has acknowledged the assistance and cooperation of patients, their families, GPs and NoWDOC, hospital staff, laboratories, schools and child care facilities.  Dr Anthony Breslin, Public Health Specialist said “Measles is a serious and very infectious illness. The current outbreak is having a significant impact on a large number of people. Measles can be prevented by the MMR vaccine.”  Measles is transmitted through direct contact with an infected person or through the air when the infected person coughs or sneezes. Measles infection typically causes a rash, fever, conjunctivitis (red eyes), cough or runny nose.  The rash usually starts four days after the other symptoms. The rash starts on the forehead, spreads behind the ears and then down the trunk.  Measles infection can have serious complications such as pneumonia, seizures and encephalitis (inflammation of the brain). 1-2 people out of every 1,000 who become infected with measles will die.  The HSE says the best way to prevent measles infection is with 2 doses of the MMR vaccine. It is 99% effective at preventing measles infection. The first dose of the MMR is usually given to children at 12 months of age, with a second dose given at 4-5 years of age.  The MMR vaccine has been used for many years and is very safe. Anyone born since 1978 who is unsure if they have received two doses of a measles containing vaccine, such as MMR, should speak with their GP. Most people born before 1978 have had measles infection and will not get measles again.  While the majority of children in Donegal still receive the MMR vaccine, the numbers have been dropping slightly over the past few years. As soon as vaccination rates fall, old diseases re-emerge. This is why measles outbreaks are occurring in Ireland and across Europe.  For more information on measles please see http://www.hpsc.ie/A-Z/VaccinePreventable/Measles/",104,"ireland"

"2475","According to Unicef data for the year 2018, three-quarters of the total increase in cases of measles were ten countries, with particularly large epidemics in Brazil, Madagascar, the Philippines, Ukraine and Yemen. France is one of the few european countries to be part of this ranking. It is a rising concern that has not spared France. In its latest report, Unicef says it is concerned about an increase in measles cases, to the point of considering it as a ""growing threat"" to the children. This agency of the united Nations Organization in fact know that the number of cases of measles in the world has reached levels of concern, in particular in the ten countries which together represent over 74 % of the total increase. But also in several other countries where the disease was previously considered to be extinct. Thus, for the year 2018, not less than 98 countries have reported more cases of measles for the year 2017. ""This marks a setback on the progress made in the fight against this disease that can be life-threatening,"" says Unicef. It is in the Ukraine, the Philippines and Brazil, that the increase in the number of measles cases has been the most important in 2018 compared to 2017. In the Ukraine alone, 35 120 cases have been reported in the last year. According to the public authorities of the country, 24 042 additional people were infected during the first two months of 2019.

""We pull the alarm bell. We have a vaccine that is safe, effective, and inexpensive compared to a highly contagious disease, a vaccine that saves nearly a million lives every year for the last two decades, "" said Henrietta H. Fore, the executive Director of Unicef. ""These cases do not happen overnight. The serious epidemics that we are witnessing today are installed in 2018 and, in the same way, the failure to act now will result in future catastrophic consequences for the children. ""Measles is extremely contagious, more so than Ebola, tuberculosis or the flu. It is possible to contract the virus for up to two hours after an infected person has left the room. The virus is spread through the air, infects the respiratory system and can be deadly to infants too young to be vaccinated. When the disease was contracted, there is no specific treatment : the vaccine is therefore very important for the children. In the developed and developing countries, epidemics are caused by poor health infrastructure, poor awareness of the population, a decrease in vigilance and an unwillingness to vaccination. Since the 1st of January, 155 cases of measles reported in France ""These cases are almost all preventable, and yet, children are infected in places where they have absolutely no reason to be,"" recalls Henrietta H. Fore. ""We must redouble our efforts to provide more reliable information to all parents in order to vaccinate all the children in good conditions. ""To combat this worrying situation, the organization has launched an appeal to public authorities as to the parents, because it is possible to contain the epidemic, and this is thanks to the vaccination of all children aged 6 months to 5 years during these periods. It should be noted that in France, the extension from 3 to 11 vaccine mandatory has been enacted by a law of December 30, 2017. In addition to the three vaccines before compulsory (diphtheria, tetanus, poliomyelitis) is added to the Haemophilius influenzae B, whooping cough, hepatitis B, measles, mumps, rubella, meningococcal C and pneumococcal.

This means the number of cases in the UK across a period of at least three years was low enough to prevent the disease spreading among the general population.  The MMR vaccine is a combined inoculation which protects against measles, mumps and rubella and is available to all adults and children who have not completed the course.  More than 120 cases of measles have now been confirmed in outbreaks affecting five areas of England.  The full course requires two doses and anyone who is unsure of their vaccination status is encouraged to check with their GP.  Dr Mary Ramsay, head of immunisation at PHE, said: ""This serves as an important reminder for parents to take up the offer of MMR vaccination for their children at one year of age and as a pre-school booster at three years and four months of age.  ""Children and young adults who missed out on their MMR vaccine in the past or are unsure if they had two doses should contact their GP practice to catch up.  ""We'd also encourage people to ensure they are up to date with their MMR vaccine before travelling to countries with ongoing measles outbreaks.""  She added: ""The UK recently achieved WHO measles elimination status and so the overall risk of measles to the UK population is low, however due to ongoing measles outbreaks in Europe, we will continue to see cases in unimmunised individuals and limited onward spread can occur in communities with low MMR coverage and in age groups with very close mixing.""  PHE said local health protection teams were working with councils and the NHS to raise awareness among communities and health professionals.",103,"uk"

The issue is one of the hottest spots of the debate that is taking place for the upcoming elections, because the parents antivacunas to prefer that the children do not go to day care so as to not inmunizarlos. In the meantime, and while doctors and parents accuse the antivacunas be the cause of the most vulnerable people sick, public health agencies raise concern alerts about the risks of these movement. So strong is the debate in Italy which reported threats to doctors and politicians who do their fighting in favor of vaccines slogans election. More than 40 deaths from measles in Europe because of the antivacunas For the first time, the issue has plunged into the election campaign the Italian elections of this Sunday, when approximately 50.7 million italians -46,6 million residents in Italy and 4,17 million in the foreign— elect 630 deputies and 315 senators. Just take a walk around the streets of Italy to verify the pervasiveness of the debate around vaccines in all conversations. In bars, in public transport, on all sides. The struggle between the antivacunas Italian —a minority, noisy, but strongly militant and aggressive— and their detractors, it is extremely intense. The Government of the progressive Paolo Gentiloni, the main medical associations, and almost all the political parties have added to the discussion of fashion. According to the survey by Nicola Piepoli, the “NoVax” (the acronym that is used in Italy) amounting to 28% of the electorate. According to the Observatory Observa Science in Society, its percentage is equivalent to 9% of the population, half that in 2015, even though the same source warned that 44% thought that vaccines should not be mandatory. Measles is triggered in Europe: cases increase by 400% obligatory Vaccines, The alarming increase in measles cases in recent years because of the movements antivacunas, made that the Democratic Party is ordered by the cogency of some injections basic, something that sparked the “anger antivacuna” that accuses the Government of doing business with the topic. Health alert in Europe The case of Italy and other countries triggered alarms in Europe for a long time. At the end of 2016, the number of non-vaccinated children had reached the record figure of 350,000, a figure that, according to the Italian Society of Pediatrics (SIP), puts the country “at the limit of the safety parameters”.

Other diseases believed to be eradicated in Italy reaparacieron in Italy and in other countries, such as polio and diphtheria. Italy is the second country with more cases of measles in Europe. And Romania takes the brunt, with almost 5.560 infected, followed by the 5,000 of Italy, according to data from the European Centre for disease Prevention and Control (ECDC, for its acronym in English).

The Spanish Society of Internal Medicine (SOgami) recommended vaccination to all persons between the ages of 39 and 49 years, especially the ""those that do not remember having taken the vaccine and which have not suffered the disease. In the city there are 14.376 neighbors that belong to this age group and they are called to, at least, to reflect. The fact that the placement of the start of the cut in the year 1970 is due to the scientific society believes that those who were born before you ""have probably been in contact with the virus,"" and, therefore, are covered against the disease, that only happens once in life. The butt of the 1980s also has its explanation and that is that the calendar of vaccination of the following year (1981) already included the supply of the mmr vaccine, an injectable that is still managing now, and that works against the measles, rubella and mumps. Sogami indicates that ""this year there have been two cases in Galicia (measles), and a third that is pending confirmation"" the trigger for the recommendation part of a recent report of the World Health Organization (WHO) on the existence of four european countries (United Kingdom, Greece, Albania and Czech Republic) that in 2018 they lost the status of ""country free of measles,"".

For this reason, the Society advises persons between the ages of 40 and 50 years who can't remember if they have passed the disease or if they have been vaccinated to take advantage of the upcoming visit to the gp to get vaccinated. ""You could look at if they have antibodies, and, if not, they administer the vaccine. But it is much easier to vaccinate them directly, because the booster by itself does not cause any problem, and avoids having to do an analysis,"" he argues Rabunal. Dr. Ramon Rabunalsubraya that vaccines ""are a weapon that we have magnificent"" and that, thanks to them, it has managed to ""eliminate a disease like smallpox,"" The doctor stresses that vaccines ""are a weapon that we have magnificent"" and that, thanks to them, it has managed to ""eliminate a disease like smallpox,"" and have controlled many other that once charged thousands of lives.

A total of 20.4 million deaths averted through vaccination If measles pops up again anywhere in the world, it is in part because of the distrust vis-a-vis vaccines in the developed countries (and the lack of resources in poor countries). Some of the ""antivax,"" as they are called now, are no longer vaccinating their animals, exhibiting their animals and their loved ones with serious illnesses. According to the WHO, however, ""thanks to the measles vaccination, measles deaths worldwide have dropped by 84% between 2000 and 2016"". Over the same period, ""it is estimated that the measles vaccination has prevented a total of 20.4 million deaths, making this vaccine the best investment in the health of the public.""

His brothers and sisters have not corroborated the results and it turned out afterwards that the doctor had tampered with these data, losing at the same time his right to exercise. Another study conducted in 2017 has established a link between aluminum in vaccines and autism. This study has been withdrawn after the scientists noticed that the images had been manipulated.

According to Noble through actions of this kind “in addition to disregarding the obligation of vaccination, induces forms of contagion volunteer. It is our duty, however, to reiterate that even the respectable individual interest is going to be nullified with respect to the public interest, especially in the case of the protection of the health of the community“. In this sense, – said the guarantor – “va also interpreted the story of the midwife of Senigallia, which has contracted the measles from not being vaccinated.

"7785","As fewer and fewer people have their children vaccinated, then there is a temptation to make them astonished, and to cry out, like the liberal party (VVD) leader: Klaas Dijkhoff was doing. I've read his column with a sigh of recognition. So why, exactly, that is what. The only question is whether it will be beneficial. The die-hard anti-vaxxers, you won't convince anyone, because they are totally entrenched in their own convictions, that YouTube‘documentaries’ count as evidence, and every scientist is biased, it is. The people are the ones who have doubts. Due to religious reasons, or because they just have to ask yourself whether it is really necessary for your child to be vaccinated. For after all, as long as no outbreak occurs (and, for vaccinations, or that vaccinations are not to be more harmful than the disease it depends on how you are looking at paralysis), and that the vaccinations are not natural, yes, but they are already labelled and, if you like). The group, which you have done out of desperation and a lack of understanding, then goes on to talk, as I do now. But to condemn, cast out your doubt in the wrong direction, for instance, the institute for public health and the general practitioners in the meantime. You should not be against the parents, saying that it is irresponsible to have your child vaccinated, but the doubts about them in the interview. After that, parents need to self-assess. It seems to me to be a terrible thing. Is that you, as a health and safety representative or a doctor to know that everything seems to indicate that vaccinations are effective only in the greatest of the exceptions, complications, results, and then compared to parents who have doubts because they are a friendly couple, have spoken it, and one evening, having googled. And, then, keep quiet and hope that people with good decision-making. I wouldn't be able to, but in fairness it works, apparently. A dug-in anti-vaccinatietypes also. They have united under the name of Dutch Association of Critical Reference. Suggestion: have the shot, but also be aware of any potential side-effects. In an interview with Villamedia, a site dedicated to journalism, arguing for a physician from the NVKP is that the discussion is more about content and less about the emotion, it would have to go. Clearly, an organization that as a rule, the facts did not pay much attention to do so. But then again, it is the message that we are a reasonable people. Maybe it should be the GOVERNMENT in the name of the Association is Critical of Measles Given: ""No, we are not at the center, we have only questions.’ And then, all of the scientific research and turn into YouTubefilmpjes.

The Second Chamber is now considering whether to allow non-vaccinated children to keep day care centres. Primarily, in order to protect children, who, because of their young age, or have a condition not to be vaccinated, but it seems to me that to have a healthy side effect is that, by this measure, the doubts no longer available. By the way, if you are not vaccinated fully, the reciprocal consequences, it would want to connect to, to allow non-vaccinated children will go to kindergartens and schools where all children are not vaccinated. So, what it would be like if no one vaccinated. ‘Welcome to the children's Kinkhoestje.’ That is, we aren't going to do it, because you have children don't let them take the blame for the choices of their parents, and as a world society, we don't want to be.

Patients are considered infectious from four days before until four days after appearance of the rash. According to DGS, “the symptoms of the measles usually appear 10 to 12 days after a person is infected and usually begin with a fever, and smallpox rash progresses from the head to the trunk and lower extremities), cough, conjunctivitis and a runny nose”.

"13812","The World Health Organization (WHO) has warned on Thursday of the resurgence of measles in four countries of Europe in which the disease was eradicated. Based on data from the first half of 2019, the WHO has appealed to the countries to intensify immunization campaigns as poor or no vaccination is the main cause of the rise of the measles. Based on those numbers, the international body believes that the United Kingdom, Greece, the Czech Republic and Albania are countries, where already can not say that measles is eliminated. During the first half of 2019, the WHO has recorded a total of 89.994 cases of measles in 48 european countries, more than double that in the same period of 2018, that figure stood at 44.175, and above of the total number of cases in the past year (84.462). For the epidemiologist and chief of Preventive Medicine of the Hospital Clínic of Barcelona, Antoni Trilla, the news given by the WHO is ""bad"" but ""expected"". ""The situation of measles in Europe, where levels of vaccination coverage had come to be excellent, was that the WHO considered measles eliminated from the region"", explains Trilla to this journal. But the situation has changed recently. The epidemiologist believes that the reason why the Uk has gone out of the list, it is because ""the parents have been trusting in vaccines."" ""In other countries there are conflicts. But in Europe, measles is reappearing because of the parents. And this is the key: when the number of vaccinated people no longer guarantees herd immunity, outbreaks may occur"". Threshing warns that the virus ""exists and continues to circulate,"" and that the ""only protection"" is that ""95% of the population will be vaccinated with two doses of the vaccine"". He also claims that, although Spain also runs the ""risk"" out of the list of countries that are considered eliminated measles, is a country that is ""holding very well"" levels vaccine. ""In Spain is not mandatory, but recommended, the vacunlación and, however, the 95% of people are vaccinated. This is the ideal situation: that without forcing the people, the people decide to get vaccinated,"" he concludes. Rebound in global world, measles is also suffering a significant increase. Since last January, have been declared more than 360,000 cases worldwide, the figure is ""higher"" from 2016. The Democratic Republic of the Congo, Madagascar, and Ukraine are the countries most affected at a global level. Brazil and France are other countries that have seen an increase in cases. Measles is a viral disease highly contagious which infects the respiratory tract and spreads to the rest of the body. The first sign of measles is usually high fever which begins about 10 to 12 days after exposure to the virus and lasts between 4 and 7 days. In the initial phase, the patient may experience a runny nose, cough, watery eyes and red, and small white spots on the inner face of the cheeks. After about three days it appears a rash, usually on the face and upper neck, gradually spreading, eventually affecting the hands and feet. The rash lasts five to six days, and then fades away. The interval between exposure to the virus and the appearance of the rash varies between seven and 18 days (average 14 days). The deaths are due to complications of the measles, which are more frequent in children under 5 years and adults over 30 years. The most serious are blindness, encephalitis (an infection accompanied by edema of the brain), severe diarrhoea (which can lead to dehydration), ear infections and severe respiratory infections, such as pneumonia. Severe cases are especially frequent in malnourished young children, and especially in those who do not receive contributions sufficient vitamin A, or whose immune system is weakened by HIV/aids or other diseases. Before the vaccine was introduced in 1963 and became widespread their use, each two or three years were major epidemics of measles that came to cause close to two million deaths per year. It is estimated that in 2017 were killed 110,000 people for this cause, most of them under the age of 5 years, and despite the existence of safe and effective vaccines. The WHO has insisted on the importance of vaccines, at the individual level and also at the collective level.",101,"spain"

It is characterized by a high fever, cough, nasopharyngitis and conjunctivitis followed by a rash first behind the ears and on the forehead. This is not a benign disease. Measles can also cause, at any age, severe complications. Measles spreads very easily from one person to another. Contamination occurs through droplet of saliva from the airways and containing the virus. That is, during coughing, sneezing, mouchages, contacts by hands contaminated by the saliva or through close contact with infected people or by objects contaminated with secretions from the nose or throat. The patient is contagious from five days before the beginning of the rash phase of contagion maximum) for up to five days after the beginning of the eruption. A patient can infect 15 to 20 people. 3 ... On how to control it ? The only way to eliminate measles is to vaccinate all children from one year and make a vaccination ""catch-up"" among teens and adults, if necessary. To eliminate the disease, it should be that 95 % of the French population is immune. The measles, mumps, and rubella, is recommended at the age of one year. It is reimbursed 100 % by the health Insurance for all children from one to 17 years inclusive (and, at minimum, 65 % at 18 years of age).

The specialized agency of the UN considers that in reality, there are approximately 6.7 million deaths each year linked to the measles, "" says Kate O'brien, the director of the department of immunization, WHO. This disease re-appeared a little everywhere in the world because of poor access to care or a distrust of vaccines. Until 2016, it was yet in decline. ""A serious problem"" in Europe is far from immune. In the first half of 2019, 89.994 cases have been reported in 48 countries of the continent, more than double compared to the same period of last year (44.175), and already more than for the entire year 2018 (84.462).

The disease re-emerged in the Uk On the basis of the figures of 2018, the disease is not longer considered ""eliminated"" in the United Kingdom, Greece, Czech Republic and Albania. For WHO, the status of""removal"" corresponds to the absence of continuous transmission for 12 months in a particular geographic area.

""Each of these countries is an example of a national immunisation coverage is extremely high.

"46104","New York said Tuesday the ""public health emergency"" due to the measles epidemic that exists in the city since last October, specifically between orthodox jewish communities that live in Brooklyn. As part of such an extraordinary measure, announced by the Mayor in a press release, the people unvaccinated against the disease in the neighborhood of Williamsburg -where is concentrated the largest jewish population in the city - will have to get immunized with the inoculation against measles to ""protect the rest of the community and to help reduce the epidemic."" The injections will be mandatory and members of the Department of Health and Mental Health will be reviewing immunization records of any individual that has been in contact with infected patients and, in case of not being immunized, may face fines of up to $ 1,000. The decision comes a day after the Department threatened to close some of the ""Yeshivas"" (jewish schools) or sanction them if they admit to children that they are not protected against this disease. ""There is No doubt that vaccines are safe, effective and saves lives. I urge everyone, especially those in the affected areas, which is inoculen to protect their children, families and communities,"" said New York city mayor, Bill de Blasio. Since you started the epidemic in October of last year, have been confirmed 285 cases in the city, the most in the last two months. Of these, 246 have been detected in children under 18 years of age, while only 39 were adults. 21 hospitalized while there have been no deaths associated with this disease, there has been complications, warns the Mayor's office, with 21 hospitalizations and 5 entries in the Intensive Care Unit. De Blasio follows the trail of Rockland County, in the north of the state of New York, which two weeks ago forbade the young people without vaccinating the entrance to the public spaces, such as playgrounds, as a response to a measles outbreak in the area, with 161 cases detected in a population of 300,000 people, especially among the orthodox population.",99,"spain"
"18210","Luis Barneto, is one of the leading figures in the combat sports in the country. He said, he trains, teaches, and is rarely seen on the face of the struggle, when the goal is to get to know all of the good things people are doing in this country. Today, it is the Oral Evidence of the Record. 1 – How did you start this passion for combat sports? It began with the measles. At the age of 7 years old I got measles and I've been a bit ill. With the end of the day, my mom finally gave in and bought me a book of stickers, with Bruce Lee on the cover, and it made me start to read up on the martial arts, even when we barely knew how to read it. Over the next few years, my interest in the martial arts and combat sports, has been accentuated, to the point that eventually, in 1986 (16 years old), I started training Karate. For many years, and the styles after that, it was a little more than a decade ago, I started to train and later teach Jeet Kune Do Unlimited / MMA For The Street. The name itself points to the strong influence of the mixed martial arts world. At some point, the athletes have started to take an interest in the competition. I, as the instructor believes to be one of my roles to enhance the development of all my students, no matter what path you choose to travel, decided to get involved in mixed martial arts. It all has happened so naturally, from then on. 2. what do you consider is necessary for this modality continues to evolve even more in our country? More schools, more players, a better understanding of the public about the unique benefits of this sport, as well as the ability to do it, but not necessarily wanting to compete for the recognition of the sport by the IPDJ (which is slow in coming, in spite of the talks, with the Portuguese Secretary of State, held almost a year ago, we were left with the impression of being common to all of us in the present, and the sense of urgency to regulate and to regulate in our country, the sport is the fastest growing in the world during the twenty-first century), training of trainers, development)the more sponsors and promotions, and a greater exposure to the mass media (that is, the most of initiatives such as this one), (3) MMA's was a 'boom' huge in the last few years. Don't you feel that now anybody wants to be an MMA fighter, just for the appeal of the sport? I would like to say, "" yes."" For me, the little matter of the reason to start with. Invariably, they all end up on the practice for the right reasons, regardless of what it took to start up, so if your reason would be that it would be just as good as anyone else's. I happen to think that the ""boom"" there was more interest in the sport both as a spectator and less of you (or at least not as much as I would like), while for the practitioner. It is a sport that is demanding, albeit as a sport for fun, with no interests in sports, is the most comprehensive that can be practice, and is more eclectic, and concerned that there may be, as in competing against us, the success is taken for granted, all of us can improve who we are, and even compete against others in the areas of competition, there are weight classes for all, and to all of them. I think, and hope, that the ""boom"" is still lacking, at least in the Uk. 4 – Have you had some out-of-competition, in which it has been necessary to use all your technical know-how to ""calm down"" to someone, or put a person on the spot? I've been lucky. Most of the people who cross me, or you know your place, or have the ability to guide you using my arguments to the non-physical, in the back of the place. As I've spent about 10 years doing work for the security in events, concerts, festivals of music, I have to say that I've been forced to use some of the knowledge, but fortunately I've never had it hurt that seriously to anyone else. 5 – it Is easier to fight or learn to fight? For me, to learn to fight, no doubt about that! Because it is something that I do naturally, and it turns out well, and he falls in love with me to improve the others. Even though it may not have been worked, even in one of the formats to deal with this type of brutal you can be, the Dog Brothers, Full Contact Stickfighting, I've got it in me, so much more developed, the necessary skills, ability, and personality traits that make a kind of a good coach, just that they are kind of a good wrestler / athlete. 6 – I can See you heavily involved in the project, Wimp2Warrior. How can you explain in a few words. In one sentence, I would say that the Wimp2Warrior program is a program for the transformation of the people into the best versions of themselves. For a more complete effect of the Martial Arts, confidence, resilience, and character are all well-known, but it is not a quick process, and it is not within the reach of those who don't have a lot of passion for this art to practise it for a living, and going up gradually to this level. Or better yet, up to now it was not. Because we are dealing with a well thought-out program that aims, over the next 6 months (more specifically, 22 weeks) to keep track of 40 people in the process, which will culminate with their entry into the cage for his first fight in MMA! There are those who do not consider entering a cage and fighting in the mixed martial arts is one of the most extreme where a human being can do. Some will find it silly, or crazy, no doubt, but I think the majority acknowledges, the development of the personal, the physical, the mental, the technical, the intellectual, the tactics, the discipline, the courage, the determination, and the strength, both physically and emotionally, which implies that to carry out this task, and, still more, to prepare himself for the task. The W2W is proposed to take ordinary people, who are not even able to imagine doing something like that, it's become such a great person that many admire, and when you look at all the athletes in the mixed martial arts world. At the end of each of the participants will be, and I'm sure a knight of the nineteenth CENTURY, whose battles are different from those of earlier centuries, at least in countries which are organized and peaceful as the us, but it can also be challenging and at times overwhelming. Their lives will change forever. For the W2W, for me, the advantage of a widely tested and improved, with a proven track record, which is in constant development (it is sufficient to say that, amongst other attractions, are included the dietician, the most recognized along with the top athletes in the MMA world, he Then, and we'll have a visit to the exclusive sessions with these individuals for the head coach, John Kavanagh, recently named the coach of the year in mixed martial arts, and is known by most for being the manager of the McGregor). And so it embraced the state of Unlimited, this is the challenge, which came in the form of an invitation by our own John Kavanagh, who is also responsible for the development of this program in Europe. At this stage, the W2W will start in October, simultaneously in the 5 academies in Europe and in the Uk, and France for the first time in the United Kingdom and republic of Ireland, the program will go to the 2nd and 3rd year). 7) What is the best fighter with whom he had already cruzaste? And the worst part? (it may be that it is not a read for the Record at any time on Sunday) The best for me are the athletes from my gym, the ones that you already have, and the ones that are out now. I'm not going to identify. And I'll explain why they are. Because they are the ones that I read, and I know them, I can see the effort that they make, both inside and outside of the cage, the inside and outside of the Gym, and for me, the best athlete is always that one, the one that makes the impossible, fighting against all the difficulties of life, to realize his dream, his destiny. As for the athletes who train with me are the ones that I know, so close at hand, are the ones I look up to. The best fighter is, it is not directly in the mixed martial arts, but it is related with the ministry of the environment, you know, he is the father of Serginho (Sergio, Junior, my athlete, or because of the man's work, and advocates for their children's carry out is amazing, and an inspiration to all. The world, fortunately, I had the opportunity to come together and cross over, set me up with some of the best in the world, such as the McGregor, and the Second, Randy Couture, and many others. The worst thing is that you don't train, it's going to do to MMA to see how it is"", does not qualify, and even boast about it, because he is very talented, and so on... The one that makes headlines, the one that pretends to be what he is not. As this sport shapes the character, but it doesn't work miracles, there are very few of those. Most likely they are all ex-athletes, because no one can be an athlete of mixed martial arts for the wrong reasons. And, although it's just a few I've met, and I've seen a few of these, but I'm not going to say names, of course. 8 – Spend the day completely handed over to the arrangements and violent, but you are the people of the most calm and polite people I know. This is the result of a good education, and, of course, but there's also an ethical side very apparent in these arrangements? I used to say that Martial Arts and Combat Sports, they may not be able to do it better, but it just won't do it to a person for the worse. He liked to say that there is a magic in any of these practices, which are a guarantee of the development of man, it is not always the case. there is no such assurance. A coach can have a bad character, or a practitioner as well, and no change to this. But for the most part, and in which the practice involving exposure to failure, opposition, resistance, difficulty, discomfort, respect, and humility, one usually messes with us, or at least help to channel the violence seems to be intrinsic to the human being, to a practice that is in any way ineffective, because the insured and accepted by the parties. There are people out there who tell me that they are unable to beat someone in a competition, but insult people who don't know, yell at employees, their families, their friends, hurt themselves, emotionally and socially-with others quite naturally, and that yes, it is a form of violence. The violence is, to me, implies a subjugation of the will of the other. And this happens at all levels. And it is rarely the case in the area, because all of us want to be in, everyone is moving, everyone's looking to be the best, but, you know, you will soon learn that the insanity is getting to be one of the best that we can be. Some of the gain-aggressiveness (which, clearly, they needed to win. The other control aggression, which clearly it was an uncontrolled. Is there an equivalent to ""adequate levels"" of aggression, in the vast majority. In my profile on the facebook is written, ""the pursuit of harmony, but are you prepared for the chaos."" For me, a life full is to strike a balance between our destructive capabilities, to the moment in which it reveals the fundamental, life-or-death-and capacity-building, to all the others who are much more fortunately. The terms, as it referes to and, well, they are violent, and this is undeniable, but non-violence, in accordance with the definition of here I gave, so I am in the process of the construction of the human is very positive and very peaceful. 9 now came a genie lamp with 3 wishes, what escolhias? I'm not too much of it. Don't play the second year running. I think in pursuit of that chance. But of course, my desires to achieve all round health, for myself and for my family, for my friends, for everyone, so why not? A genius is a genius, you must be able to! Health is an area that we don't always get to control, which depends not only on the work that we do, that no conquest (at least not always). You may ask all of the people could have the ability to put themselves in someone else's shoes. This level of understanding, and it surely changed the world. In the third, I wish he kept it for the next situation I came to the front, the only thing I could do, but I wanted so much to intervene. (10) For the end. This fight McGregor vs. Mayweather is good for the sport-fighting, or, on the contrary, in a terrible way? There is always a positive and a negative side to everything. I tend to look for the positive. In a way it would be if we had, for example, is a musician, singer or other celebrity, the fight with Mayweather. We are talking about the Couples. Whose past includes a long Box, and which in this part is a resume of great success in a combat sport, with a focus on boxing, where normally it takes precedence, and it is using the handles. No, it seems to me all nonsense. It is true that you have one of the leading exponents of the sport, and on the other a man who, at least at this point, if it's going to go. But as I always say, in MMA, is a sport, but it is also a battle. It can be totally different from the almost certain cause of a millimeter, a second, a reflex action, a mistake, a spasm of the muscles. It is not a joke. It goes against the wish of the people, and the old ""what if"". As I see it, is not proof of anything, so yeah. Because it will not be the victory of Mayweather, or a victory for Couples that is going to change, or at the very least, they should not change the perspective in each and every one of the sports that, by the end of each and every one of the athletes, and the general public. I know that many of you will be. The Boxing win Boxing, is the higher of the MMA beat, MMA is the greatest. And it's the same with the players. But, and this is the result of the fame of both sports, you have a lot of fans, too many opinions, too much ignorance and too much knowledge, and in the midst of all of it. I'm just curious. I think McGregor has the potential, if you find a CZ, you won't have to if the fight is moving on, will never score more than Mayweather. That being said, I'm going to see how all of us! I hope that is a TV Sport pass! 11 – if you want to get to know you better, and to perhaps train with you, how could you? Which projects are you involved with? My name is on my profile in facebook. Luis Barneto. There are to my cell phone and e-mail. I am one of the coaches, and it was one of the founders of the Academy Split into the various sites, also has a profile on facebook and e-mail academiaunlimited@gmail.com In regards to the project, I don't know if you'll have room to post them! But here it goes. I'm looking to get the greatest number of people the opportunity to learn and train in the Jeet Kune Do Unlimited, a martial art is of enormous applicability to real-life situations, the greater the response to the self-defense that I've had, and I've learned that it combines the principles of Bruce Lee's research and the expertise of my instructor, Burton Richardson. The Jeet Kune Do Unlimited and Uk have programs that are for the citizens and professionals in the field of risk, infant and children (Unlimited for Kids, a program that has been a effective and tremendous in the resolution and prevention of problems of bullying, some of which were quite complicated). In mixed martial arts, I am involved in the CAPMMA the Commission in Exercise of the Portuguese in the mixed martial arts, where the performance of the functions of the Executive Director and is also the head Coach of the National. The idea is to build on the work that has been carried out in mixed martial arts and amateur, in collaboration with the club, the result of the most palpable was when we won the first silver medal for Portugal in the European Championship of mixed martial arts, in the fall of 2017, for an athlete, Moreno Hortinha, but there are many more accomplishments, it is not so visible, it's happening every day. I also want to see the ministry of the environment is recognized as a sport by the IPDJ, and by the Portuguese government. It's a battle for a number of years, there seems to be so close to the end, to do it in faith, again, in dealing with the Portuguese Secretary of State, at the end of 2016. As we continue to improve the security and competitiveness, and the quality of the officials, the coaches, everyone involved in it. We are working at the level of the order of Unlimited, a project of the social action that we intend to implement in the first phase, in the municipalities of Barreiro and Moita, and later on in the country as a whole, which is strongly inspired by the project to a great success in this area is going on all over the world, but with emphasis on the work carried out in Belfast for my partner in the ""Coaches Committee"" in the IMMAF - International Mixed Martial Arts Federation (wef), Danny Field. At the level of the Academy is Unlimited, I want to continue to support the success of our athletes in a variety of areas, from MMA to Grappling, Jiu Jitsu, Wrestling, and support for, the facilities that have been contacting us wanting to be our representatives in their home town, wanting to ensure the quality of the technical and organisational, at the level of the us, and it is this idea that we reach out to more people, the principles, methods, and it is something that fits right in with our philosophy of changing the world, one person at a time. I remain involved in the Association, of the Amateur Fights in the District of Setúbal, in this moment, not as much as I would like, and in the Portuguese Federation of Amateur Fights where I have responsibility for the development of the sports associated with it, namely, the mixed martial arts, Grappling, Pancrácio, and Beach Wrestling. I want to keep my comments on the UFC, the Sport's TV, as long as you have a voice, because it's something that allows me to operate in the understanding that all people are able to get from it is ""my"" sport is a combat, and it amuses me a lot. I have been a part of the team that developed the grading system, which is the IMMAF - International Mixed Martial Arts Federation is now putting in place, for the whole world, and I am now involved in a training-of-trainers in MMA, in the course of the level 1 and level 2, which will be held by IMMAF in the countries of its members by beginning to go to Dublin, and now in July, to the minister of the first course in Ireland to a group of a very wide range of coaches, their experience will surely enrich me, as well. We hope this year to have such a course in the Uk. I continue to represent the BoomBoxe in Europe, because the workout equipment is something like I've never seen it, and I really want to see you in the club of mixed martial arts and combat sports, claiming that the equipment, as do all the academies in South America and in the united states. I want to boot it as soon as possible in the event of the MMA, an amateur of UNLIMITED mixed martial arts because you want to leverage all the international contacts that I have in this area, and to allow our athletes to compete with athletes from other countries, without having to go always to the outside. I know that it's going to be a big hit! And, of course, the Wimp2Warrior. It's nice to have a program that I know is going to change your life, and you will help me to take a picture of the MMA, it is important to reach out to the public. I can't wait for it to start!",99,"portugal"

Three things to know about measles 1. A highly contagious disease. Measles is caused by a virus that spreads very easily by direct contact or through the air. It is estimated that a patient can infect 15 to 20 other people. After a phase of incubation silent, the disease is characterized by a high fever, runny nose, cough, watery eyes... In a second time, will appear red spots, which give its name to the disease. 2. Potentially serious complications. Measles is dangerous for the complications that it may cause. Most of the deaths are due to secondary infection of the lung severe type of pneumonia. Other possible complications are : the involvement of the nervous system (encephalitis) which can lead to serious consequences and even be life-threatening, involvement of the eyes (conjunctivitis, keratitis) which can lead to blindness, inflammation of the ears (ear infections) or dehydration associated with severe diarrhea. There is no specific antiviral treatment and the care of the patient endeavours to treat complications. 3. Preventive Vaccination. The only effective way to protect against measles is vaccination a preventive. This vaccine has existed since 1968. In France, it has been included in the immunization schedule in 1983. It is generally available in the form of the combined vaccine "" MMR "" which also protects against mumps and rubella. While he was so far highly recommended, but not mandatory, the MMR vaccine became mandatory for all children born after January 1, 2018, with a dose at 12 months and a second between 16 and 18 months.",98,"france"

A peak of reported cases in 2017. Because of gaps in vaccine coverage, measles outbreaks have occurred in all regions, according to a report by the world health Organization (who), which presents the trends in measles in the last 17 years. ""The number of reported case of measles has reached a peak in 2017, several countries have experienced outbreaks of severe and prolonged this disease,"" said the WHO in a press release.

""Regressing"". ""This suggests that we are regressing"", he said, deploring the growing distrust towards vaccines, that the anti-vaccine accuses her of causing the autism. ""In the absence of fast-paced efforts to increase the vaccine coverage and identify populations that are displaying unacceptable levels of under-vaccination or non-vaccination among children, we risk reversing decades of progress in protecting children and communities from this devastating disease but perfectly preventable,"" said Dr. Soumya Swaminathan, deputy director-general in charge of programmes of the WHO.",98,"france"

An infectious disease is not so benign and that in 89 % of these cases could have been avoided if the people had been properly vaccinated. But it would take more than that to move the vaccino-skeptical of their positions. A study published in the journal Pediatrics, shows that attempting to change your mind is totally counter-productive. Provide scientific evidence only reinforces the mistrust. And this is not new. ""The history of opposition to vaccination is intimately linked to the history of the vaccinations themselves,"" write Annick Guimezanes, and Marion Mathieu in the little book, ""Vaccination : aggression or protection,"" co-edited by Inserm and the Nutmeg.

Opportunism economic today, the vaccino-skeptics surf on a certain discredit of the medicine, vaccine manufacturers, the expertise of a broad way, and on the growth of the complotisme, which receives the sounding board of social networks, tend to be less regulated than the Internet. It is possible to create groups on which the information is shared to reinforce the beliefs of the adherents as they attract very little conflicting opinions. Gold, ""a Nielsen study recently showed that among the false information circulating on social networks, 60 % of them were related to health with an important place given to vaccines,"" says Jocelyn Raude, lecturer-researcher at the Ecole des hautes études en Santé publique, which ponders on the part of adherence to the ideology and opportunism of economic that there is, behind the approach. ""For some it is a matter of belief, but for others, it is, above all, gain attention and create traffic to commercial sites "". Radical political movements anyway, the investigator class into three main groups, those opposed to vaccination. In the first rank are patient associations whose members suffer from diseases very real that they attribute to the vaccination, although no scientific evidence could not be established : aluminium content in vaccines for the myofasciite to macrophages, immunization against measles to autism, vaccination against hepatitis B for multiple sclerosis. ""But the big battalions of vaccino-skeptics are mostly adherents of alternative medicine such as homeopathy, naturopathy or chiropractic,"" says Jocelyn Raude. They promote natural immunisation by the disease rather than an immunization, artificial vaccines, and question the benefit/risk ratio of vaccines . Finally, a last category of opponents to vaccination is the result of the radical political movements-whether of the extreme right identity or radical ecology.

Suffice it to say that a month ago the Usa have indicated the countries of health risk due to the epidemic of measles. In the latest report of the Who World Health Statistics, published just a couple of days ago, it shows that not only covers in italy are amongst the lowest in Europe, but also that there are african countries that do better. On tetanus, whooping cough and diphtheria, the data of the report, referring to the 2015, which indicate a coverage of 93 percent, which is not only among the lowest in the European region but is also exceeded, even by the best african countries: Rwanda and Tanzania, 98, Eritrea, Botswana and Algeria, 94. The crisis, the document stresses, is not just about our country. ""The improvements that were seen in the covers the global 2000 and 2010 have had a slowdown between 2010 and 2015,"" says the Report. And, in fact, already in 2015, Who claimed the Italy show a worrying decrease in the number of people vaccinated. A recall, however, unheeded. It is not surprising that health care institutions have decided to take an initiative as strong as that of the obligation to attend school. To worry about, in particular, the epidemic of measles that has marked 2.395 cases from the beginning of the year. Reports that are concentrated in seven regions: Piemonte, Lazio, Lombardia, Toscana, Abruzzo, Veneto and Sicily. The sick, 89 percent was not vaccinated, and 7 had received only one dose of the vaccine. It also affects the average age of infected: 27 years, rather high. Most of the cases, 73 percent,has been reported in persons of age greater than or equal to 15 years. But the data considered most worrisome by the institutions is that of the 197 cases reported among health care workers. That's why another hypothesis in the field is to force doctors and nurses to get vaccinated. The campaign of the Who provax clarifies why prophylaxis is necessary. Immunization through vaccines is the only sure way to protect yourself from diseases. Seeing that some diseases are regarded almost disappeared, many people think it's useless to get vaccinated, but the Who recommends the prevention even when the risk is low because if the population stops getting vaccinated, deadly diseases eradicated, will return. Finally, the Who confirms once again that there is no correlation between vaccines and autism.",98,"italy"
"6169","The Ministry of Health is studying the hypothesis of incentive for the University to encourage the vaccination of young people. Encourage to get vaccinated and to increase the coverage for diseases such as measles is the only way to cope with the numerous cases of infection and epidemics. It is for this reason that the Ministry of Health is trying to identify a series of practical measures that can encourage adolescents and young adults to get vaccinated against the measles. Among the practical measures taken into account by the Ministry, in the framework of the new Plan for the elimination of measles, some of the incentives the University could, for example, encouraging vaccination in connection with the system of public competitions and university course. Among the proposals of the plan targeted the elimination of measles among young people in particular, we can not exclude the fact that it can predict the “proposal report” in a series of steps that are crucial in the life of young people, from enrolling at the university for the renewal of the identity card. Other incentive measures could also include agreements with the sports federations to put in place incentive measures for the vaccination of young athletes. The goal of the new Plan of elimination of measles reach the coverage of 95% among the new born. The emergency affects mostly adolescents and young adults, for whom the immunization coverage has fallen in the range of a lessening of the obligation of vaccination between 1999 and the law Lorenzin in August 2017. Focus on the promotion of the vaccination of the young people seems to this is one of the means to reduce the risk of infection. The Plan for the elimination of measles is born not only in the light of the recent outbreaks and cases of infection, but especially as to the Who, continues to declare that Italy is endemic for measles. Resolve the emergency measles in Italy, according to data from the world health organization has seen over 5 cases in 2017, with 2 deaths, is the priority. No demoted and then of the Government on the obligation of vaccination, which will remain the law. At the same time, there is the belief that the obligation is not enough. To explain, once more, is a note from the ministry of Health on a case-Bari”, where in a few hours, and despite a rate of regional coverage of 95%, it is recorded in the infection of eight people. For this reason, in recent days, the Ministry has also initiated an update of the system of integrated surveillance of measles and rubella, which strengthened the guidelines for proper diagnosis, classification of cases, and standardization for data collection.",98,"italy"
"6188","Measles is becoming a global problem”. “The epidemic of measles in New York city, is a health emergency”. “There is a serious epidemic of measles in Madagascar”. There is little to get around it: continue, alas, to get bad news on measles. The last bulletin on the Italian situation speaks to more than 500 cases in the first three months of 2019. The whole blame, says the national Institute of health, vaccination coverage is still too low. Even overseas they're really not well: the Usa recorded the highest increase of cases since the Nineties. And the disease has caused the death of over a thousand people in Madagascar. So there was more need than ever for a summary of the five myths and clichés associated with this disease, with the relative answers. Is a disease (on the whole) harmless “I got it as a child and today I'm fine.” Think that measles is a disease from nothing is a lightness – unfortunately – very severe. As noted by the European Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (Ecdc), the european Union agency specializing in the prevention of diseases), only in 1980, shortly before the measles vaccine was available in mass, there were 2.6 million decessiimputabili to the disease. The introduction of the vaccine has changed things, even if there are still those who are ill: in 2012 122mila people, mostly children, have died of measles. The main reason for the underestimation of the measles, paradoxically, lies in the success of the vaccination: the majority of the population – especially those born after the Seventies – he's never seen a person infected with measles and not realize how the disease could be severe. The truth is that measles is an infection that is fairly serious, that cannot be treated directly with the antiviral drugs: the maximum you can treat the symptoms. The rate of complications, ranging from ear infections, diarrhea and dehydration, respiratory tract infections up to blindness or encephalitis – is around 30%. That's more or less a case about three. Other disease from nothing. Better to immunize itself ammalandosi that with the vaccine, As we explained some time ago, commenting on the (not) news of the elusive chicken pox party, the practice of the contagion volunteer could have (perhaps) a sense before the introduction of vaccines, due to the fact that contracting a disease as a child reduced the probability to encounter the complications is the risk of losing days of work because of the forced rest due to illness, possibly contracted in adulthood. Today, things have changed a lot: the vaccine elicits the specific response of the immune system in a similar way, as would an infection in the true, inducing the body to produce antibodies to ad-hoc, but avoid hurt everywhere the symptoms and the risk to suffer the complications (or rather, more precisely: the side effects of the vaccine are extremely raririspetto to the complications of infection). Moreover, the acquired immunity with the vaccination also helps the other: the vaccine, a difference of the infection, immunizes the individual without making it contagious. You can immunize with homeopathy? No. Why homeopathy does not work, or at least not working more than it would a placebo. And a placebo certainly would do little to prevent a contagion viral. In the words of the Ecdc: “repeatedly it has been shown that homeopathy is ineffective and based on mechanisms not plausible. The substances in homeopathic that aim to strengthen the immune system does not have any effectiveness in preventing the spread of infection. The only approach that works is to vaccination”. The vaccine Mpr puts at risk the health and can cause autism? The Istituto superiore di sanita (Iss) shows in the vaccine tetravalent Mprv (Measles, mumps, rubella, varicella (chicken pox) the “more states” to defend from the contagion children from 11 months up to 12 years of age, specifying that “the majority of people who vaccinate don't have adverse reactions”, even if “vaccines, like all drugs, are not without their potential risks, and, although rare, may occur adverse reactions following the vaccination. Generally these are minor and resolve spontaneously in a few days. Rarely, may occur more severe reactions",98,"italy"

For the moment, the scientists are focusing their research on cancer of the pleura, a thin membrane located between the lungs and the chest wall, but in the future, this method could be applied to all types of cancer.

""A patient suffering from a lymphoma in his face has seen his cancer cured after he contracted measles. This observation has been made at the beginning of the Twentieth century."" This found suggests that the human immune system is able to fight the cancer cells before the cancer develops.

"5169","Four cases of Measles have been confirmed in Limerick City since the begining of January. This number of cases constitutes an outbreak of the disease in the Limerick City, according to the HSE  An “Outbreak Control Team” made up of representatives from the HSE are currently involved in managing the outbreak in an effort to prevent further spread.  Measles  Advertisement  Measles is a viral illness that is spread through direct contact and through the air. It is highly contagious and is spread easily. One case of measles can infect 15-20 unvaccinated people. While the numbers of cases of measles in Ireland has reduced dramatically since the introduction of the measles vaccine, it remains a significant cause of death among young children worldwide.  People most at risk of catching measles are those who either have not had measles infection in the past, those who are not fully vaccinated with 2 doses of MMR vaccine (in particular babies younger than 12 months who are too young to be vaccinated), and those with weakened immune systems. Anyone who has been exposed and is not immune to measles may develop measles up to three weeks following date of exposure.  The primary strategy for measles control is achieving a high level of immunity in the population with age appropriate MMR vaccination. MMR uptake at 24 months of age is 88% in Limerick and is 93% for the Mid West. An uptake rate of 95% is required for effective immunity within a population.  Measles symptoms include:  · High fever  · Cough  · Runny nose  · Red eyes  · Red rash that starts on head and spread down the body- this normally starts a few days after onset of illness. The rash consists of flat red or brown blotches, which can flow into each other. It lasts about 4-7 days.  · Vomiting, diarrhoea and tummy pain may also happen.  For individuals who are partially vaccinated (for example those who have had one MMR vaccine), it is possible to contract a milder form of measles with little or no rash but which can still be infectious to others.  Anyone who develops measles symptoms should:  · Stay at home from work. Children should not attend school or creche.  · Call the Department of Public Health at 061 – 483338 to advise that you think you/your child may have measles.  · Telephone your GP so that they can see you at a time/place when no one else is there (to avoid infecting others).  · Your GP may organise a test to confirm the diagnosis – this is usually done by using a small swab that takes a sample of the oral fluid from the mouth.  Patients with symptoms of measles should avoid presenting to the emergency department where possible. If it is necessary to seek urgent care, it is important to inform the ambulance service or emergency department that you have symptoms consistent with measles beforehand so that the appropriate precautions can be taken. Similarly, if you have been in contact with a confirmed case of measles and are seeking medical attention, please inform the healthcare provider before attending.  Prevent measles with the MMR vaccine  The best protection against measles is to be fully vaccinated with 2 doses of the MMR (Measles-Mumps-Rubella) vaccine. All children should get MMR at 12 months of age and the second dose at 4-5 years of age. If your child missed their scheduled MMR vaccine dose you should contact your GP to get the age appropriate dose.

As a result of a measles disease, it could come years later to an inflammation of the brain, for which there is no treatment and affected patients die. FDP parliamentary group Deputy Michael Theurer said the RND, the free Democrats wanted a vaccination for children up to 14 years. Spahn needs to facilitate access to vaccinations. For example, you could be in schools and day-care centres offered. The Greens hold a vaccination, however, is the wrong way.

"18510","In the cases of measles reported around the world has increased by the year 2017, resulting in 110 a thousand deaths, given that a number of countries have recorded outbreaks of a serious and prolonged illness, according to a new report from the World Health Organization. The document, released Thursday, says that “because of gaps in vaccine coverage, measles outbreaks have occurred in all regions, with an estimated 110-thousand deaths related to the disease. Using data from the updated models of the projection of the disease, the report provides estimates of broader trends in measles in the last 17 years, showing that since the year 2000, more than 21 million lives have been saved through immunisation against the disease. However, the number of reported cases has increased by more than 30% of the entire world, beginning in 2016. In the americas, the eastern mediterranean region, and Europe experienced the largest surges in the fall of 2017, with the western pacific being the only region of the World Health Organization (WHO), where the incidence of measles has declined. The re-emergence of measles, a serious cause for concern, with an outbreak of prolonged to occur between the regions, and particularly in the countries that have reached, or are close to achieving elimination of measles,” said Soumya Swaminathan, deputy director general for programs of the world health organization. According to the report, “without urgent action to boost vaccination coverage and to identify the population with unacceptably high levels of children with immunization, there is a risk of losing decades of progress in protecting children and communities from this devastating disease, but completely preventable”. Measles is a serious disease and is highly contagious. It may cause some complications, debilitating, or life threatening, including encephalitis (an infection that leads to swelling of the brain), diarrhea, and dehydration, severe pneumonia, infection of the ear and permanent loss of vision. Babies, toddlers, and young children with malnutrition and a weak immune system are particularly vulnerable to complications and death. The disease is preventable with two doses of a vaccine that's safe and effective. For many years, however, the global coverage with the first dose of vaccine against measles stood at 85%. The report notes that this figure “is a far cry from the 95% required to prevent outbreaks, and leave too many people in too many communities that are susceptible to the disease. The second dose coverage of 67 per cent “. The increase in cases of measles, “is a deeply disturbing, but not surprising. The complacency about the disease, and the spreading of false reports about the vaccine in Europe with a health system on the brink of collapse in Venezuela, and in pockets of fragility and the low coverage of immunization in Africa is to combine a revival of the global measles even after years of progress,” said the administrator for the Gavi Alliance for Vaccines Seth Berkley, who is quoted in the document, the world health organization. Existing strategies need to change. There's got to be more of an effort to increase the coverage of routine immunization and strengthening health systems. If not, we will continue to chase after an outbreak at a time,” he said. The report notes that, in response to the recent outbreaks, the local health agencies are calling for investment in sustainable systems, immunization campaigns, coupled with efforts to strengthen immunization services on a routine creasing that these efforts should focus in particular on reaching out the communities that are most marginalised, including those affected by conflict and displacement. They also require actions to build a broad-based public support for immunization activities, while you are fighting the lack of information and unwillingness on the part in regards to the vaccines, where they exist, he says. ""Investments are supported that are needed to strengthen the delivery of immunization services, and to use every opportunity to deliver the vaccine to those who need them,"" said Robert Linkins, chief of the Department for Control of fast-track Diseases and Surveillance of Diseases Preventable by Vaccines on the Centers for disease Control and Prevention (cdc), USA. and the chairman of the Management Team of the Initiative to the Measles and Rubella vaccine.

How is it possible that there is a health professionals have not been vaccinated, when the National Programme for the Elimination of Measles, esp. now in 2013 that the group should be given two doses of the vaccine, due to the increased risk of contact with imported cases, and in view of the high contagiosidade of the disease? “These are issues for the individual, are the errors of the people, and for the vaccination against measles is not compulsory,” said the director-general of Health, Francisco George, for whom it is “the task of the occupational health services”. It stresses, on the other hand, it is not known how many health workers are in such a situation. “The case [for the non-vaccination of health-care professionals', it is unfortunate. The adherence of the health workers of the vaccination, as the VASPR [vaccine-trivalent against measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine] was supposed to be a copy of the book, for your own safety, such as in this outbreak confirms it,” says Manuel do Carmo Gomes, a professor of Epidemiology and Communicable Diseases at the Faculdade de Ciencias of the Universidade de Lisboa and is a member of the Technical Committee on Immunization of the DGS, which highlights the importance of prevention. Prevention, he says, “it's a proof of intelligence”. There are several experts who have focused on the need for vaccination of health care workers. They are given in two doses, whatever the age, not least because of the chance of infection is much higher, because the exposure is higher, "" explains the physician, and a consultant to the DGS by Paula Valente, who reminds us that the same is provided for in the case of individuals who travel to areas where measles is endemic.

On this subject, and the data are well-known, because every year, an assessment is made, and the results are not encouraging: in the season of 2015/2016, ""the vaccination of health care professionals has been of the order of 45 percent at health centers, and 24 percent in hospitals,” reads a statement published on the website of the Health, and argued to be “essential"" to increase the vaccination for medical, pharmaceutical, the nurses and other staff who come into direct contact with the patient, not only to prevent disease but also to minimize the risk of transmission. An issue that has already been identified is that of the existence of exchanges that are more susceptible in the population due to lack of vaccination. There are in fact, and local communities where the vaccination coverage is much lower than that of the general population. The PUBLIC is asked for the data by region and by category of health-care facilities in all the institutions described above, but did not get any response.

Informing immediately the students ' parents by e-mail, she quickly learns the existence of 15 other cases in its establishment, as well as another at a secondary school in the city. Among the 16 students affected by the measles, was in particular one of the child placed in quarantine for a week in Costa Rica with his family. On a trip with his parents, he has re-introduced the measles into the country, so that no case had been recorded since 2014. Three primary students were also hospitalized, and a pupil of CM2 has still not returned to the school. How to explain such a resurgence of measles in the school ? According to Christine Ortmans, head of the department of sleep and food safety within the regional Agency of health (ARS) of the Paca, ""a lot of children were not vaccinated"". It specifies that the director of the institution has transmitted to the ARS the list of the sick child, but refused to inform him of the count of children vaccinated against measles. ""We are required to verify the vaccinations mandatory with the visit of the mother and child [in kindergarten], who accompanies us"", argues the director of the primary school Saint-Anne Frédérique Pleindoux-Garin. This is not the case with vaccination against measles, which is optional for the students concerned. According to the ARS, only one of the sick children had been properly vaccinated with two doses of vaccine required. A quarter had received only one dose and three out of four had not been vaccinated. A too low vaccination coverage in France This low immunization of children against measles is far from being limited to this primary school in the Var. Associated with the one against mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine, the measles vaccination became mandatory for children born on or after January 1, 2018. Despite this measure, the vaccination coverage remains largely insufficient in France : the present level is estimated at 79%, which is below the threshold of herd immunity, which is set at 95%.

In total, 47 cases of measles have been identified since the end of the month of January according to the ARS, the regional agency of health. The first cases are mostly young adults seasonal resident at the resort. Measles is an infectious disease caused by a highly contagious virus that affected previously, especially young children from the age of 5-6 months.

And who still remembers diphtheria, the disease had to treat Doctors often used with a tracheotomy? It is thanks to the vaccination that these cruel diseases in Germany are no longer an issue. The smallpox - one of the most dangerous infections at all - are even considered extinct. In this respect, it is already shaken, how easily some parents ignore this medical progress and to prevent the childhood diseases herd immunity is achieved because the would also protect infants or other immunocompromised individuals who should not be vaccinated.

And yet, the refusal of the vaccination is a kind of intra-familiar to himself - and not only in the medical field to. The Hype for a child that is not vaccinated, but of all the supposedly harmful influences of distance is kept, drives strange flowers. Walk in the school? Much to dangerous.

Italian researchers found that current vaccination policies are not enough to keep the disease at elimination status and said more action is need to tackle it.  In the UK, falling vaccination rates have been blamed on misleading campaigns claiming vaccinations are dangerous. Just last month, Unicef announced that more than 500,000 children in the UK were unvaccinated against measles between 2010 and 2017.  And earlier this year, the World Health Organisation (WHO) revealed that the number of cases identified worldwide had surged 50% this year compared to 2017.  So what are measles and what are the symptoms to watch out for? Here's everything you need to know.  What is measles?  According to the WHO measles is a highly contagious, and sometimes fatal disease which remains an ""important cause of death among young children"".  It is a viral illness of the respiratory system which, if left untreated, can have serious health complications including infection of the lungs and brain.  The disease can spread through contact with infected mucus and saliva.  Katherine O’Brien, WHO’s director of immunisation and vaccines, said: “Our data are showing that there is a substantial increase in measles cases. We’re seeing this in all regions.  “We’re having outbreaks that are protracted, that are sizeable and that are growing. This is not an isolated problem.”  What are the symptoms of measles?  According to the NHS, the initial symptoms of measles typically develop around ten days after you've been infected.  Symptoms include:  cold-like symptoms, such as a runny nose, sneezing and a cough  sore, red eyes that may be sensitive to light  a high temperature which may reach around 40 C  small, greyish-white spots on the inside of cheeks  A few days later, a red-brown blotchy rash will appear, usually starting on the head of the upper neck before spreading to the rest of the body.  How do you spot a measles rash?  A rash will usually appear after the first few days of feeling ill.  The NHS identifies four key characteristics of a measles rash:  made up of small red-brown, flat or slightly raised spots that may join together into larger blotchy patches.  usually first appears on the head or neck before spreading outwards to the rest of the body.  slightly itchy for some  can look similar to other childhood conditions, such as slapped cheek syndrome, roseola or rubella.  When was the latest measles outbreak?  Philippines was in the midst of an outbreak earlier this year, which led to the death of at least 70 people, mostly children.  Thousands of cases have also been reported in the East African country of Madagascar. The WHO said: “from October 2018 through 12 February 2019 a total of 66,278 cases and 922 deaths have been reported.”  The WHO says that in poorer countries, lack of access to vaccination services is one of the main reasons behind the spike of confirmed cases.  Meanwhile, in August 2018 measles cases in Europe hit a record high, with more than 41,000 people being infected in the first six months of the year.  Figures out in April from Unicef showed that over half a million children in the UK were unvaccinated against measles between 2010 and 2017.  In the UK in 2017, there were 259 measles cases in England, rising to 966 in 2018.  In 2016 and 2017, uptake of the first dose of the MMR vaccine in five-year-olds in the UK exceeded 95%.  But uptake of the second dose of MMR in five-year-old children is 88% - well below the 95% WHO target.  Experts say cases in Europe and other wealthy areas are the result of misinformation about the MMR vaccine.  Is measles deadly?  Measles will usually pass in around 7 to 10 days, but in some cases, it can lead to potentially life-threatening complications.  These include meningitis, febrile convulsions, liver infection (hepatitis), pneumonia and encephalitis (infection of the brain).  Can you get measles more than once?  Once you've developed immunity after a vaccination or suffered from measles once, your body builds up a tolerance, so it's unlikely you'll get measles again.  Who is most at risk of developing measles?  Unvaccinated children are most at risk of developing measles and contracting its subsequent complications.  Pregnant women are also at risk.  Any non-immune person (who has not been vaccinated or was vaccinated but did not develop immunity) can become infected by the virus.  How can you prevent measles?  Routine measles vaccinations for children have been in use for the past 50 years.  According to the WHO, in 2016 about 85% of the world's children received 1 dose of measles vaccine by their first birthday through routine health services.  In the UK, measles is prevented by giving the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine, which is given in two doses as part of the NHS childhood vaccination programme.  Alternatively, a treatment called human normal immunoglobulin (HNIG) is used if you're at immediate risk of catching measles.  How do you treat measles?  There is no specific antiviral treatment that exists for measles, but there are several measures you can take to help relieve your symptoms.  These include:  taking paracetamol or ibuprofen to soothe fever, aches and pains  staying hydrated by drinking plenty of water  keeping the curtains closed to reduce light sensitivity  using damp cotton wool to clean the eyes  taking time off work or school for at least 4 days when the rash first appears.  The WHO also recommends that children diagnosed with measles should receive two doses of vitamin A supplements to prevent the risk of eye damage.  Who should have the MMR vaccine?  The first dose of MMR vaccine is offered to all children at one year old.  Children are given a second dose of MMR before they start school, usually at three years and four months.  There are certain circumstances where children should not have the MMR vaccination, which goes into detail on the NHS website.  Adults who missed out on the MMR vaccine as a baby and are therefore not immune can have the MMR vaccine on the NHS.  Is the MMR vaccine safe?  In the 1980s, there was some controversy about whether the MMR vaccine might cause autism following a 1998 study by Dr Andrew Wakefield.  This caused a dramatic drop in the number of children being vaccinated.  There was later found to be no evidence to link the MMR vaccine and autism.  Whilst the MMR vaccine may not work for everyone and cause side effects in some children, the vaccine is generally recognised as safe.  However, deciding whether or not to get your child vaccinated is a personal choice, so make sure you speak to your GP who can best advise you.  In 2016 the WHO announced the UK had eliminated it because of the effectiveness of the vaccine.",96,"uk"

"2495","18 young adults residing in the ski resort of Val Thorens, in Savoy, have been contaminated by the virus of measles. Concerned that the spread of the disease further, the regional Agency of health (ARS) recommends that the vacationers and the inhabitants of the region to check their immunizations, as well as those of their children. According to her, ""this situation reflects a movement of more and more of the virus due to inadequate immunization coverage"". Has the period of 4 February, 12 other cases have already been reported by Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes : 7 in the Rhône river, 2 in the Drome region and in the district of Ain, Loire and Haute-Savoie, had pointed to the ARS. The resurgence of this disease that we thought was missing is worrying the health authorities. And for good reason, in that region alone, there has been a dramatic increase in reported cases in recent years : 8 had been identified in 2016, compared to 45 in 2017 and 84 in 2018. In its latest epidemiological bulletin, public Health, France had identified more than 2800 cases of measles anywhere in France, between January and November 11, 2018, including three deaths. Vaccination, the only bulwark against the measles, A worrying situation when we know that there is no specific treatment for measles and the vaccination is the only effective way to protect against it. Traditionally, the regimen consists of the injection of a dose of MMR vaccine (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) at 12 months and then a second injection between 16 and 18 months. For people who have never been vaccinated against measles, catch-up is possible. It consists of the injection of two doses of vaccine at least one month apart. In the event of an outbreak, it is possible to receive the vaccine up to 72 hours after contact with a person suffering from measles to prevent the occurrence of the disease (catch-up vaccination). Public health France recalls ""the need for an immunization coverage is very high in the population (at least 95% with two doses of the vaccine in children and young adults). Such collective protection would eliminate the disease and its complications and to protect also the the most fragile people that cannot be immunized (infants under one year, pregnant women, immunocompromised persons)"". Since January 1, 2018, vaccination against measles is part of 11 mandatory vaccinations for the infant. A measure that seems to be bearing fruit, since in may 2018, 97.8% of the infants born since January 1 of this year have received the 1st dose, while in may 2017 92.3% of the infants were vaccinated with a dose of hexavalent vaccine, or a gain of 5.5%. Measles is not a disease of childhood, benign measles is an infectious disease caused by a highly contagious virus that affected previously, especially young children from the age of 5-6 months. This is no longer the case : a third of the reported cases concerning persons over the age of 15. A sick person can contaminate up to 20. Measles is 10 times more contagious than the flu. It spreads very easily from person to person through the air when coughing, sneezing, or by contact with contaminated objects (toys, handkerchiefs...). Often mistakenly regarded as benign, ""measles is not a childhood disease, it also applies to teenagers and young adults and may cause serious complications (pneumonia, encephalitis,...), and sometimes hospitalization and even death, explains the Regional Agency of Health of Occitania.

"2523","After years of progress in the fight against this highly contagious illness, WHO is concerned about the upsurge in cases in 2017 and alert on the gaps in immunization coverage. Cases of measles have jumped by more than 30% in the world last year compared to 2016, announced the world health Organization (WHO) in a report released on Thursday. According to the estimates, 6.7 million people have been infected by the virus last year and almost 110,000 deaths. After years of progress in the fight against this highly contagious illness, WHO is concerned about his resurgence and alert on the gaps of vaccination. Last year, measles outbreaks have occurred in all regions. But it is in the WHO Regions of the Americas, the eastern Mediterranean and of Europe that the increases in the number of cases were highest. ""The number of reported case of measles has reached a peak in 2017, several countries have experienced outbreaks of severe and prolonged this disease,"" said the WHO in a press release. The western Pacific is the only WHO Region where the number of measles cases has dropped. ""ALSO READ - New York: how one patient has led to an epidemic of measles Fragility of health systems and of distrust For Dr. Seth Berkley, executive director of the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization (GAVI), this increase in cases is not surprising. ""After years of progress, several phenomena combine to cause a global resurgence of measles,"" he said in a press release from the WHO. It points in particular, ""a relaxation of vigilance against the disease,"" and the ""dissemination of false information on the vaccine"" in Europe, but also ""the collapse of the health system"" in Venezuela and the ""fragility of the immunization coverage in Africa. In 2017, only 40% of countries had a coverage for the first dose of more than 95% Report of the WHO measles is a potentially serious illness and is highly contagious, caused by a virus. It can give rise to complications (pneumonia in children and acute encephalitis in adults) that can lead to death, especially in young children who are malnourished or whose immune system is weakened. Gold ""measles can be prevented by two doses of a safe and effective vaccine,"" said WHO. But to prevent outbreaks, it is necessary that at least 95% of the population is vaccinated. And since 2010, the immunization coverage has stagnated at around 85%, with great disparities depending on the region. In 2017, only 40% of countries had a coverage for the first dose higher than 95%, according to the report. ""READ ALSO - Six false beliefs around immunization 21.1 million deaths prevented since 2000 ""In the absence of fast-paced efforts to increase the vaccine coverage and identify populations that are displaying unacceptable levels of under-vaccination or non-vaccination among children, we risk reversing decades of progress in protecting children and communities from this devastating disease but perfectly preventable,"" said Dr. Soumya Swaminathan, deputy director-general in charge of programmes of the WHO. This recent upsurge of the disease occurs while significant advances have been made in the fight against measles in recent years. Between 2000 and 2017, the number of new annual cases has decreased by 83%. The estimated number of measles deaths has dropped by 80%, from 545.000 to 110,000.

"6191","“It is estimated that more than 7 million people have been infected by the virus of measles in 2018. A high vaccination coverage not only would have prevented the 120000 deaths attributed directly to the virus last year, but would allow also to preserve the immunity towards other diseases, preventing hundreds of thousands of deaths, additional attributable to this effect.” So concludes a recently published article in Science in which you analyze the effects of measles on the immune system. Researchers have shown that the infection of measles results in the disappearance of antibodies against other pathogens to which you have already been exposed, in a sort of amnesia immune. The researchers conducted the study on a sample of 77 children not vaccinated in the Netherlands, by analyzing the blood before and after natural infection with the measles and comparing children of the same age are not infected with or vaccinated. The blood of these patients was subjected to an analysis that allows to quantify the antibodies against all the pathogens. In the case of infection with the measles virus, the number of antibodies against other pathogens (e.g. influenza virus, common cold virus, adenovirus, staffilococchi) is reduced by about 40%. The reduction is greater in cases of serious infection, while is not present in children not infected with or vaccinated. Similar conclusions were obtained also by a second study, published in Science, Immunology. The measles virus is a highly infectious, transmitted by air, but which is able to spread throughout the body. In particular the usa, to enter into cells where it replicates, a receptor expressed on the surface of T and B lymphocytes and on B lymphocytes in the memory. The infection of these cells causes a lowering of the immune system, promoting the risk of infection by other diseases. In particular, it is known that following infection with measles, there may be complications related to bacterial infections. Also in the sample of children in the netherlands, after the infection, 23% of the children had ear infections. New studies show that the lowering of the immune system, is not only caused by the infection of lymphocytes T and B circulating, but also of the memory cells, that protect us for the whole life from the infections once we have been exposed to the pathogen (or vaccine). These cells are present in bone marrow or in the system lymphoid, where we know from previous studies that the virus can get. These studies confirm the dangers of this virus, which in addition to the effects on the immune system can also give neurological complications. All of these effects are preventable thanks to a vaccine for measles which, in Italy, is administered in combination with the mumps and rubella (mmr) since 1977.",95,"italy"

"19410","What is the solution for those who can't be vaccinated? If an unimmunized person in contact with someone who has measles and you are not able to be vaccinated, either temporarily or permanently, you can take a prophylaxis with immune globulin (human preparation for injection of the antibody). In the case of the prevention for the vaccine to be temporary, as in the case of a pregnancy with a child under the age of 6 months or less, or in a state of a weakened immune system, a transient, and it is indicated for the vaccination later, then this can only be done for 5 to 6 months after immune globulin. What are the complications are more dangerous than measles? They are in the otitis media-bacterial (which can lead to hearing loss), pneumonia (viral, is caused by the virus of the measles, or secondary bacterial), seizures, encephalitis, acute viral-purple trombocitopénica acute drop in the platelet count, which can lead to hemorrhage), hepatitis, acute, and pan-encephalitis, cholangitis, sub-acute, very rarely, it arises long after the initial illness if you have been to and it is fatal. Children with measles should not take medication (s), with ácidoacetilsalicílico for the control of fever due to the risk of complications for a syndrome, reye ' s, and the aggravation of the hemorrhage, is associated with the purple). In children, a deficiency of vitamin A is associated with more severe forms of measles, and supplementation reduces the severity and complications of the disease and mortality, so it is recommended that the oral administration of two doses of vitamin A (50 000 IU up to 6 months of age or older, of 100,000 IU between 6 and 11 months, and 200,000 IU after 12 months, two days in a row, even though this treatment may not be a consensus. Is there any chance of a new vaccine to spread the virus of measles in the first 4 weeks? As for the production of antibodies by the immune system, it takes a couple of days, the protection only becomes effective about two weeks after administration of the vaccine, and that, during this time, it is possible to be infected and also the spread of the disease. After a two-week period, the probability of contamination is reduced substantially, although there is no absolute guarantee of protection, because not all people respond at the same level in the production of antibodies, and because the protection is afforded by two doses of the vaccine taking into account a minimum interval of four weeks between the two doses). What is the strain of measles is responsible for the attack? According to the Directorate-General of Health, yet it is in the course of the research, the epidemiological details of a situation, which has not been published, information on the genotype of the virus responsible for this outbreak (by the year 2017, have been identified in the genotypes B3, D8). A child's immunity is reduced, should take the vaccine? While vaccines that are inactivated do not show any contra-indication (there is no difference between immunodeficient and immunocompetent), any live vaccines, such as measles, which may be contraindicated either temporarily or permanently, the decision to vaccinate it is up to the treating physician of the child. This is because there are many different types of a weakened immune system because of its severity is variable, and in some situations, immunity is reduced, they are transient (they are part of the clinical picture of the disease that a cure, or are brought on by the intake of immunosuppressive medications). If you want to have a consultation with Dr. Viriato, a vegetable Garden, a specialist of General and Family Medicine, you can make an appointment at the Clinic in Europe (of Lisbon).",95,"portugal"
"27315","Preliminary data released from the global health agency shows the number of outbreaks has soared by 300 percent in the first three months of 2019 compared to the same period last year. Initial figures show the extent of the health crisis, with 112,163 reported cases of the disease already this year across 170 countries, compared to just 28,124 cases across 163 countries in 2018. In a statement the WHO said: “While this data is provisional and not yet complete, it indicates a clear trend.”  It added: “‘Many countries are in the midst of sizeable measles outbreaks, with all regions of the world experiencing sustained rises in cases.” Measles can be extremely dangerous if untreated and official figures show it claimed the lives of almost 110,000 people in 2017. The most concerning aspect of the resurgence of the virus, is it has spread into countries with the highest vaccination rates, including the US.  The number of cases of measles has grown by 300 percent in 2019  The WHO said: “Spikes in case numbers have also occurred in countries with high overall vaccination coverage, including the United States of America as well as Israel, Thailand, and Tunisia, as the disease has spread fast among clusters of unvaccinated people.” Meanwhile Africa has witnessed the most dramatic rise up 700 percent on the previous year. Across the African continent the number of cases grew from 7,361 in the first quarter of 2018 to 59,943 in the first three months of 2019 .  However the world body stated the numbers may be even be far greater, since only one in 10 cases globally are reported. In the UK the number of cases has indeed fallen, there has been 572 infections this year, compared to 767 in the same period in 2018, according the figures by Public Health England. The outbreak of measles can be prevented using the MMR vaccine which was first introduced in 1963.  The MMR vaccine was introduced in 1963",95,"uk"
"29315","The new measles and rubella elimination strategy maps out how the UK can achieve a future that is free of measles, rubella and congenital rubella syndrome ( CRS ).  The strategy, developed by Public Health England ( PHE ) and supported by partners across the NHS and the devolved administrations, builds on the experience and success of 50 years of measles vaccination and 30 years of the measles, mumps and rubella ( MMR ) immunisation programme.  Since the introduction of the measles vaccine, an estimated 20 million cases and 4,500 deaths have been prevented the UK. In addition, it is estimated that rubella vaccination has prevented an estimated 1.4 million cases of rubella, 1,300 CRS births, and averted 25,000 terminations. CRS is caused when rubella disrupts the development of an unborn baby, leading to serious birth defects.  However, new analysis conducted by PHE also shows that immunity levels within some age groups across the UK - especially young people aged 15 to 20 years - are well below the levels needed to prevent measles from spreading. Measles is one of the most infectious known diseases, so it can take only one infected person in an area with lower vaccination rates to cause an outbreak. Anyone who has not received 2 doses of MMR vaccine is at risk.  The World Health Organization ( WHO ) confirmed that the UK eliminated rubella in 2015 and measles in 2016. Elimination means that measles and rubella are no longer native to the UK. It does not mean that these diseases have been completely wiped out. Measles and rubella remain endemic in many countries around the world and with recent large measles outbreaks across Europe, imported infections pose a very real threat to the UK’s achievements.  In 2016 and 2017, uptake of the first dose of the MMR vaccine in 5 year olds in the UK exceeded 95% for the first time. However, 2 doses of MMR vaccine are required, to ensure full protection from measles. Uptake of the second dose of MMR in 5 year old children is currently 88% and well below the 95% WHO target required to sustain elimination going forward.  Dr Mary Ramsay, Head of Immunisation at PHE , said:  Our achievements to date are a testament to the hard work of health professionals in the NHS. But, if we wish to build on our successes, and sustain measles and rubella elimination for future generations action needs to be taken now. A future free of measles and rubella is within reach if we continue to focus our efforts on reaching 95% uptake with 2 doses of MMR for all children and catch up teenagers and young adults who missed out.  The new strategy is clear that partners in the local health economy need to work together to continue to increase uptake of the MMR vaccine in all children, and address immunity gaps across the population by catching up teenagers and young adults who missed out on the vaccine when they were younger.  It includes a number of recommendations to maintain measles and rubella elimination going forward which cover 4 main areas:  Achieve and sustain over 95% coverage with 2 doses of MMR vaccine in the routine childhood immunisation programme. Achieve over 95% coverage with 2 doses of MMR vaccine in older age groups. Strengthen measles and rubella monitoring. Ensure easy access to high-quality, evidence-based information for health professionals and the public.",95,"uk"

In the center was a few years ago, are almost extinct . The figures of The U.s. government (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) monitors closely the evolution and the numbers of diseases, including measles, mumps, and has decent numbers.

On the first six months of the year, more than 41,000 reports of measles cases in adults and children have been identified in Europe. A number higher than recorded annually for the past ten years.

According to Professor Floret, a member of the technical committee of vaccination within the High Council for health, the spread of measles mainly affects children over the age of 15 and adults because there is in european countries a ""tank"" as carriers of the virus which spread through contact. Well protected because they are vaccinated, the youngest children are at the shelter. But with our lifestyles where travel is more frequent, the contamination may be a little stronger, which may explain the increase in the number of cases.

Photo: dpa The number of measles cases in the state of Baden-Württemberg has doubled in comparison to 2016, and more than. This is on the one hand, due to the coincidence, says an expert from the Robert-Koch-Institute. On the other hand, there is nationwide but there are also large gaps. Stuttgart - 51 measles cases were reported in 2017, Baden-Württemberg – more than twice as much as in the whole of last year. In 2016, there have been only 28 cases, shared the DAK-health, citing the country's health office. A reason for concern? This was in the case of measles, said Susanne Glasmacher of the Robert Koch Institute. You have connected with them, there is a 25% Chance that you have to go to the hospital. ""This shows that measles the harmless children are disease, as they estimate a lot,"" says Glasmacher. To come death cases, although it is extremely rare – ""but the threat is a real one"". The currently high level of the disease are, in your opinion, that measles have a certain amount of seasonal accumulation: they occur typically in the early summer. A specific reason that the number of cases has increased this year so strong, don't give it to but, says the expert. This is not due to chance: ""the measles virus to circulate in Germany. They are always from the outside is introduced – that trade-fair visitors, holiday makers and business travellers.“ On the other hand, the ground was fertile for the spread, says glass-maker. Because nationwide, there are large gaps. In the southwest, for example, only 78.9 percent of the children after the first year of life, from the Standing Committee on vaccination recommended vaccination. For a second Time have been vaccinated in accordance with the supply of Atlas of the Central Institute of ambulatory health care-even with only 61 percent of children – this is the lowest rate nationwide. ""The second vaccination, however, is necessary to ensure a sufficient level of protection,"" stresses the glass-maker. Often, the vaccination would be too late – at the age of three or four years instead of two years. The first vaccination should be 11 to 14 months of age. Adults without a second vaccination should make up for gaps there but not just for the Little ones. From the 1970-born adults, half don't even have the first of the two necessary vaccinations. For it is only in the year 1991 was nationally recommended, a second measles vaccination. But adults also should be vaccinated against measles or are incomplete or unclear Vaccination, the second vaccination should catch up – don't know many says glass-maker. She recommends those without a second cross at the appropriate point in the vaccination certificate, this in your doctor to obtain. Could not be seeding you against measles. The cost for the vaccination is to be covered by medical insurance – as it is for all of the Standing Committee on vaccination recommended vaccinations. A few people a couple of spots or fever may occur after vaccination, fatigue,. In General, they prefer no complications. Measles can be transmitted by viruses that weaken the immune system. In infants under nine months, Pregnant women, and immunocompromised people with chronic diseases or with the victim's health status should therefore not be used on the Piks.

Century is placed in a school with more than 1,000 students through a single case of measles lame? Yes, now know the responsible, students, and parents of the Integrated comprehensive school (IGS) Buchholz. ""I wondered, what has generated a wave of the case"", explains IGS-Manager Holger Blenck. A student came at the beginning of the past week with measles to school. Apparently, the parents had not recognized the signs of the illness - typically fever and rash -. Also, a message to the responsible family doctor was obviously. ""When I learn that a child is sick with the measles, I thought at first: so what?"" principal Blenck reported. He assumed that all of the teachers and also he himself had been vaccinated against the Virus-infection is sufficient - a fallacy, as it turned out. The call to the health Department started a large-scale operation that, ultimately, the country health Department, the regional school authority and the Robert Koch-Institut were involved. Just by Turning on the Robert Koch Institute and the swing came in the matter. The health experts said that a single vaccination of the teacher against the measles Virus was not sufficient and a second vaccination is urgently needed. ""This statement surprised me very much. All the teachers were vaccinated, but many only once. I by the way also,"" says Holger Blenck. At the end of 30 out of 100 teachers in the IGS had to stay at home, the teaching could only be a contingency plan in Parts to maintain. On some days, the teaching was for all the vintages completely. Only this week the classes ran according to Plan, some students were not able to prove their Vaccinations, were only allowed to participate in yesterday's Friday again at the lessons. All of the students had been asked to bring their immunization records with the school. Controls the had been but in all the classes, reported a father. This has led to students must remain at the instruction of the County home, although they are sufficiently vaccinated against measles. All the teachers concerned have now been again vaccinated, reported to head of school Blenck. He himself was not immune: His doctor had informed him that people who were born before 1970, are considered immune to measles. The district of Harburg, advises, to get a shot for the measles. ""We can't recommend it, but only, it is not a mandatory vaccination, even for teachers,"" said circuit spokesman Andres Wulfes. It also calls on Physicians, their obligation to report the infectious disease to comply with. Parents should - even suspected cases - with their children in the home, consult a physician and also the school to immediately inform, declared a Wulfes. IN A WORD, Lack of Information of The measles case in the town of Buchholz, and the great impact of The communication and Information in the run-up seems to have been anything other than good. That the authorities and the Robert Koch-Institute have long been on a recommended second vaccination, but only after the actual case of illness, is a serious omission. With the right education, you can't prevent the gigantic administrative effort, for example, the Department of health in the district of Harburg, had to operate, to make all potentially vulnerable students to locate and write you a letter that you need to stay longer at home. That may be submitted against that decision on a month-long lawsuit with the administrative court of Lüneburg, is part of the amazing accessories of this Case. Task can it be now just to fix the lack of information quickly to all schools. Otherwise, the next measles case has exactly the same effect as in the case of the IGS in Buchholz.

The disease has continued to expand and in April 2019 has arrived to 400 cases. A progression of 60 cases a week that has forced the mayor, democrat of the Big Apple, Bill de Blasio, to declare a state of medical emergency. Some areas including Brooklyn are referred to as the epicentre of the disease. Forbidden to go to school for unvaccinated children, even if a court seems to have rejected this ordinance. But a situation that could be considered under control, even if measures are careful, it risks now becoming a far more important question so by undermining the same civil society in the United States. Thursday, June 13, this time the administration of the state of New York, was forced to abolish all exemptions from vaccinations is granted for religious reasons. Governor Andrew Cuomo then signed the measure that has previous similar only in California, Arizona, West Virginia, Mississippi and Maine. All the while the epidemic of measles begins to invade other states, at least 28, with more than 1000 confirmed cases. The ultra-orthodox jews In New York city, it was established that the infection is started from the area of Williamsburg, Brooklyn, a neighborhood where the majority of the community of ultra-orthodox jews are particularly opposed to vaccination. A limited branch of a confessional, therefore, coincides with the movement “no vax” that has taken hold in other western countries. The jump was the so-called “immunity of the flock” and if the vaccinated exceed a percentage above 95%, the entire community is protected from disease. The vaccine ‘non-kosher’ actually, many jewish traditionalists vaccinate now their children but in the community it is fortified with a counter-current is particularly strong. Responsible is an organization called PEACH (Parents for the Education and Support of Children's Health). Through a campaign based on the news, almost always false (link vaccines-autism ever tried), has involved some rabbis who have influenced the faithful. As in the case of the rabbi of Brooklyn, Rabbi William Handler, fiercely, “no vax”. Many of these religious claim that vaccines are not “Kosher”, that is, pure. ""Contain DNA of monkey, mice, and pigs, and serum fetal bovine, all forbidden by the dietary rules kosher,""he told the New York Times, the organization of a PEACH. A possibility denied by the majority of the jewish community in new york. PEACH, however, has caused several damages, for example, with the spread of the Vaccine Safety Handbook. a guide for parents full of buffaloes, and that also shows the instructions of some of the rabbis opposed to vaccines, that has had a considerable circulation in New York city. A return to the past In this manner, a disease that the United States had been eliminated from the category of those endemic in the year 2000, is beginning to be a danger.

Sooner or later, the spread of infection to peter out gradually, as the population is so high, that it still is. But before then, we would expect more cases, "" says Eva Lindhusen Lindhé. The great interest in the issues in the case, according to Eva Lindhusen Lindhé, that is, that the disease is not so rare a disease that health professionals do not recognize the symptoms. – The ""what"", not the disease. In addition, they remind the onset of symptoms - the coughing, the red eyes, and a fever - a lot of the flu. The incubation period is about ten days, which means that symptoms of the now-contaminated during the holiday season, "" she said. The outbreak has led to an interest in a vaccine is the all-time record, at the very least, in the Western Region. ""People call all the time. It is a good thing, and we have no shortage of the vaccine right now, but it's not going to be a shortfall, you should think about how much of a hurry, it is, "" said Eva Lindhusen Lindhé. She denied also the rumors that the infection was derived from the EU-migrants from Romania and Bulgaria. – As far as I know, there is no such link. The so-called "" indexpatienten was infected after a trip to the south of europe. In countries such as Italy, France, germany and the Uk, is a disease of quite common occurrence.

In addition, children under the age of 18 months, there are also a number of adult swedes, who have no protection.

"27715","Lingering effects  For Mina, the monkey's glowing innards raised a nagging question: “If measles is essentially chewing up all of our immune cells, does that have a long-term impact on our immune memory?”  To tackle this question, Mina and his colleagues turned to massive data sets from the United States, Denmark, England, and Wales from before and after widespread vaccination began in the 1960s. The analysis revealed that declines in childhood disease were stark. In general, when measles was flourishing in unvaccinated populations, up to half of all childhood deaths from infectious disease could be explained by non-measles infection that occur following illness with measles.  What's more, the effects lingered. At any given time, the best predictor of non-measles deaths was the total number of measles cases during the prior three years, Mina explains. This suggests that kids with measles still had a higher risk of death from infections three years later. But these temporal relationships can only tell the scientists so much.  “At the end of the day, that's all epidemiological associations,” Mina notes. “You have to drill into the biology.”  Here, too, scientists have started to make a dent. In one study, the researchers found that U.K. children who had measles also had an increase in infections and doctor's visits in the years after infection. Mina's team also developed tests to catalog antibodies—or invader-neutralizing proteins formed by one type of memory cell—in a blood sample. Instead of looking at just one type of antibody at a time, as most tests require, he's created tiny biological sensors that can flag hundreds of thousands in one go. By testing before and after a measles infection, scientists can actually quantify which and how many antibodies someone has lost after an infection.  Global spread  So could secondary infections affect people who currently have measles in the United States?  “I absolutely think so,” Mina says, though he emphasizes that the U.S. healthcare system is strong enough to treat these infections and prevent most of them from turning deadly.",94,"uk"

This is the main critique of the law: having focused all and only on the duty, hoping that was enough. On the awareness, the more that the obligation itself has worked the debate that is sparked in these years"". The Minister would be concerned for the ""young adults vulnerable,"" which would not have been able to affect the Decree of the Lorenzin, but still do not understand how his Ministry will be able to find a workaround without introducing an obligation. Measles, for example, the Minister will not change anything: ""There is an epidemic in the act. And then measles you need to take compulsory measures. But we also have to work to convince people to do something positive for their health, not to impose"". Really interesting this connection of wanting to ""convince without forcing"", especially thinking about the condition of those who are living with a weakened immune system (transplant recipients, chemotherapy, etc.) and the children are too young to be subjected to the vaccine. While the Minister Cricket will find a way to ""convince"" those who do not want to be vaccinated, who will take care of the weakest? It is simply paradoxical to put their lives in danger to ensure a small group of ignorant, selfish and conceited to have time to digest the reality. ",93,"italy"
"6179","SENIGALLIA – The service for infectious diseases has called and notified about all the patients you come into contact with the obstetrician who has contracted the disease. Alerted also 56 patients visited the emergency room the Midwife of the hospital of Senigallia with the measles, the service of infectious diseases warn pregnant women and children are not vaccinated who come in contact with the operator is ill. Started the epidemiological investigation and the procedures to prevent the spread of the disease, which can have lethal consequences for the infants. This was made known by the health department of the hospital of Senigallia that has reported the case of the midwife with the measles to the department of prevention. The midwife is absent from work due to illness by 20 August, but only on the 25th of August, he had the certainty that he had contracted the virus. To quickly rebuild the contacts from the midwife ill during the days of incubation of the disease has been established a working group with the doctors of the department of prevention, directorate of nursing, the protno the rescue, the medical direction hospital, and the division of obstetrics and peditria. According to the procedures dictated by the circular of the ministry of Health, were contacted by telephone, women were found to have had potentially contacts to provide information, availability over the phone for any concerns or doubts, check anamnestic immune status and an invite to vaccination of the susceptible, precautions, and an invitation to attend the next day in Pediatrics. Are being set up for a path and dedicated areas for possible therapy with Immunoglobulins, in the cases provided for by the ministerial directions. Have been advised of 56 patients in the emergency room of which was recorded in the phone number, or notified the physician of the family. To prevent the spread of the measles were vaccinated two family contacts of the midwife, the parents of newborns, and a health care provider. “We are faced with, unfortunately, in a worrying situation. For this I am more and more convinced that the compulsory vaccination is the right way – says the regional councillor Fabrizio Ferreira, president of the health Commission –. At the national level approximately 30% of the cases of measles that have been reported concerning health care staff is not vaccinated. For this, one is studying a measure that will allow the health care staff is not vaccinated and access to vaccination”. The episode was immediately controlled by the integrated efforts of the staff of the different organizational structures of large Area (2 Asur Senigallia, indicates how the epidemic of measles in Italian is still active and in need of attention. The epidemic of measles the match in the early months of 2017 involved in the chain of transmission, even young adults, caregivers, and school staff.

In the previous years were notified 14 cases in 2012, 56 cases in 2013, 41 cases in 2014, 1 in 2015, and 7 cases in 2016. With regard to the cases notified this year, 89% were not vaccinated, 4% had received only one dose of vaccine, in the 7% of the cases the vaccination was not known. It should be noted that immunization coverage in children of 24 months for a dose of vaccine against measles, mumps, and rubella (Mpr) in 2016 in the Marche region was 83% (Uk: 87%). The World Health Organization fixed at 95%, the safety threshold minimum for the coverage of vaccines: below 95% pathogens continue to circulate, putting at risk the health of all, according to the effect of the so-called “immunity of the flock,” protecting, indirectly, also those who can not be vaccinated.",93,"italy"

The first citizen of New York Bill de Blasio has declared a public health emergency and has imposed that the people who live in four areas of postal codes in Williamsburg (11205, 11206, 11221 and 11237) should be vaccinated. In the case of a refusal, there is a hefty fine that could reach a thousand dollars of penalty. Who is the intended audience of the ordinance? To all the people who live, work or bring their children to school in these four quarters of the city. The statement came after the Department of Health of New York has ordered the schools of the jewish ultra-orthodox in Brooklyn to exclude students not vaccinated by the in-class lectures. Here, the institutions of the area were forced to follow the same procedure to avoid the forced closure of schools. Emergency measles in a county of New York: children not vaccinated out of the public space “we must Not allow this dangerous disease returns here in New York City, we have to stop it now,” said the mayor, worried that a disease eradicated by time can make the return in the United States. The CDC (Centers for disease control and prevention of diseases) has identified 285 cases from the beginning of the epidemic involving mainly two neighborhoods of Brooklyn: Williamsburg and Borough Park, the areas where the vaccination rates tend to be lower. The majority of the cases of infection would be the minor of 18 years of age as non-vaccinated or vaccinated partially. According to the authorities, the spread of the virus is due in part to the movement “No Vax”, since the cases infected mainly concern people without the vaccine.

The two cases have been registered in the province of Agrigento and Caltanissetta: it would be two adults of 51 and 29 years old, both unvaccinated and severely at risk and affected by hiv / Aids. The cause of death was severe respiratory failure and/or arrest, cardio-circulatory, according to the experts of the Iss. It would seem that both were in critical condition at the time of admission, even if the death is due to complications from measles. According to the latest data, the Sicily is the Italian region most affected by measles: of 2.248 cases of measles recorded from January to August, 1.116 cases relate to our island. Most were not vaccinated at the time of infection, and half of these was hospitalized. Despite this, the Asp of Palermo, has said that in 2018, the vaccination coverage on measles in the city exceeds 90%. Last year was recorded as an increase in vaccinations, especially for measles, rubella, mumps and varicella. Also, the “call” of diphtheria, tetanus, polio and pertussis (whooping cough) have had an important increase and in general, the vaccination coverage is growing. However, the awareness of the vaccination remains crucial, especially to prevent the onset of disease in young patients but also for adults. The same health care workers are often infected, and with respect to the vaccine for measles, the minister Grillo has stressed the need for the obligation, although it may not prove to be sufficient. “The increase in coverage that the obligation he has produced in the generations of the new born has not stopped the spread of the disease,” said the minister, adding that “the elimination of measles requires the implementation of complex interventions, described in a Plan that is already available and that, however, has been culpably forgotten since 2011, as well as non-funded“. The minister also insists on the vaccination of health care workers and on the improvement of social communication, claiming to have the intention to update the Plan Measles and to insist on the promotion of concrete initiatives at national and regional level. The emergency measles continues to be very high: these last two cases bring to six the number of deaths from the beginning of the year, two more than in 2017. Last year there were 5,000 of the cases of infection only in the Italian territory, keeping the Country among the european nations most affected, second only to Romania.

But it is just a few days ago the alert from the Center for disease control Usa (Cdc) for travelers who travel in Europe and particularly in Italy, where the disease continues to lower the head, causing deaths and hospitalizations.In the expectation of a circular that will be published - as announced by the Health minister Giulia Grillo - in the next few days, in which you can see the guidelines for the standardization of protocols of management of the patient suffering from measles on the part of the health workforce, and in Italy from 1 January to 30 September 2018 have been reported 2295 cases of measles (-55% compared to the same period of 2017) and 19 cases of rubella. 88.2% of the cases of measles occurred in seven Regions., to follow: Lazio (235), Campania (181), Calabria (177), Lombardia (149), Emilia Romagna (89), and Tuscany (76).

To promote the vaccination anti-measles among adolescents and young adults, that are currently the groups less covered and, therefore, more at risk, experts of the ministry of Health try to “incentive measures” that will motivate and inspire the youth to adhere to the immunization program. The goal is to reach and vaccinate 800 thousand boys. These assumptions of incentive measures are working, experts of the ministry of Health, with the involvement also of other ministries. The measures in the study, in the framework of the new plan for the elimination of measles, according to what is learned, punterebbero thus the lever is not on the mandatory immunization, but rather on the incentives connected precisely to the access to public competitions or to the location of the university, or sports. These are measures of which, however, is still verifying the possibility of practical application. Another aim is also to encourage vaccination in healthcare personnel. In this regard, as already noted by the president of the Higher Institute of Health (Iss) Walter Ricciardi, you may refer to the already existing law for workplace safety, which obliges the employer and the worker to implement the measures for the prevention of risks: on the basis of such a rule would, in fact, already possible the prediction of mandatory vaccination for health care workers. Currently, the vaccinated medical personnel do not exceed 15-20% of the total and is these days the case of a midwife licensed to Macerata because he refused to be vaccinated. A problem when you consider that on 2.295 cases of measles in Italy only in 2018, as many as 100 were recorded right in between the doctors and nurses. That measles is a disease “to control”, he also reiterated the secretary of Health, Armando Bartolazzi, stating that it not be contrary to the obligation: “When you need it to be done, especially to buffer situations that can be potentially alarming. But there can be the obligation to vaccinate only children of preschool age – he said – and there must be also for those who need it and, in this case, young adults”. Everything you point to in the new Plan, anti-measles, which should be ready by January. By mid-December, however, will be in the new Group, the technical advisory on immunization (Nitag), with the representatives of the ministry, the Iss, the Aifa, of Agenas, Orders, trade unions, medical and scientific societies.

"7767","Infection with the measles virus leads to loss of the immune system. The virus kills cells of the immune system, causing a variety of other infections also are more likely to get it. That's according to a study by virologists at the Erasmus MC in Rotterdam last week, has been published in the scientific journal Nature Communications. In previously published epidemiological studies from the same group (published in the journal BMJ Open, showed that people who got the measles had, in the intervening period, the other infection occurred. That is, the measles virus in the cells of the immune system that affects it was already known from laboratory animal research, among other individuals. But whether or not the infection as well as the man runs, it was not yet clear. The researchers did in 2013, is a unique opportunity for it to be proved as a great mazelenuitbraak among the children of bevindelijk reformed. This section of the population allows itself to have religious reasons for not vaccinating, and it was, therefore, accessible to the measles virus, which is highly infectious and is spread through the air, spreads out.

Of the 23 children were in the lab, and, indeed, confirmed to be infected with measles. Early on in the infection (before the dark spots on the skin appeared in saw, the researchers looked at the numbers of white blood cells in the blood are significantly down: in a sign that the immune system is significantly suppressed. This will be in developing countries, to a large extent to the mazelensterfte, each year more than 85,000 dead. For up to two years after the measles vaccine, children have more infections occurred in a larger epidemiological study. In the first of the month after the measles vaccine were given, for example, are three times more likely to have antibiotics prescribed. Well-known and are potentially dangerous complications of measles include lung and ear infections. Measles is not a harmless childhood illness, to stress, the researchers in the field. The infection damages the immune system and the respiratory system in such a way that, even after the initial recovery, the disease of the immune system of the victim, even weakened, still remains.

"18012","The measles virus, highly contagious disease, continues to kill every year almost 100,000 people around the world. In most of the cases, the deaths are due to complications, such as pneumonia. According to the World Health Organization, the number of cases since January of 2019 has tripled around the world in comparison with the year 2018, primarily due to the decrease of vaccination, which in Europe is explained by the distrust in her. However, a new argument reinforces the need for this vaccination. In 2015, Michael Mina, currently in the Instituto médico Howard Hughes, in Maryland, and their collaborators demonstrated through epidemiological studies, an association between the measles, and increased mortality for years after the infection, although they were unaware of the reasons for them. This same researcher, with an international team, just to understand why: the measles virus clears, the immune memory of an infected person. This memory is present in the body, especially in the form of antibodies that preserves the body after a first encounter with a pathogen. But the immunosuppression associated with measles causes people to become vulnerable to further infections with other pathogens. And, what is more important, this phenomenon does not occur with the vaccination. ""S long been known that measles is a disease of immune suppression, which leads to frequent complications, especially respiratory, in the two months of the infection. This work demonstrates the severe amnesia that he suffers from the immune system as a result of infection with this virus,"" explains Paul-Henri Consigny, director of the medical centre of Pasteur Institute, who was not involved in the work. Michael Mina and his colleagues compared the book of memory antibody in the blood of 77 Dutch children are not vaccinated, before and about two months after a measles infection in 2013. Using a tool of identification of antibodies against most viral pathogens and bacterial called VirScan, the researchers showed that the measles removes between 11 and 73 per cent of the repertoire of antibodies present prior to infection. The 20 percent of children most severely affected losing more than 50 percent of the specific antibodies against certain pathogens. It is not only that some antibodies have ceased to be represented, but the number of those who are against many other pathogens has also been reduced significantly. The team confirmed this observation in macaques. People who have suffered from measles, they become ""virgins"" again with regard to many pathogens, such as newborns. This immunosuppression, unlike that induced by the aids virus, it is not permanent. The authors observed, thanks to a follow-up of epidemics in the environment of the child, which gradually restored her immune memory as reinfectan with virus transmissible. This reconstruction is not without danger. ""The first exhibition in newborns and small children are of higher quality because the baby develops immune responses comprehensive and complete. During a second exposure after measles, the response may be of poorer quality, limited by the imperfect memory that has been, and hence imply more risk,"" explained Frédéric Tangy, a researcher at the Pasteur Institute. To complete the study, the team of Michael Mina also analyzed the blood of young children vaccinated against the measles. In these patients there is observed immunosuppression, neither in diversity nor in the amount of antibodies. ""This is completely consistent with what was expected. The attenuated virus used for vaccination has about 50 mutations that have made him lose the ability to infect and destroy cells of the immune system,"" notes Frédéric Tangy. Vaccination against measles is not accompanied by further infections. Although these studies did not reveal the precise mechanisms that underlie this profound restructuring of the immune memory, yes, reinforce the value of the vaccine against the measles, a disease that could be eradicated by this means. ""The authors point out the many implications of their work, such as the need of revacunar people infected by the measles, against other pathogens. It may be premature to draw conclusions from this study on the vaccination schedules, but is nevertheless an important milestone in the understanding of the risks of infection after measles,"" says Paul-Henri Consigny.

Sooner or later, the spread of infection to peter out gradually, as the population is so high, that it still is. But before then, we would expect more cases, "" says Eva Lindhusen Lindhé. The great interest in the issues in the case, according to Eva Lindhusen Lindhé, that is, that the disease is not so rare a disease that health professionals do not recognize the symptoms. – The ""what"", not the disease. In addition, they remind the onset of symptoms - the coughing, the red eyes, and a fever - a lot of the flu. The incubation period is about ten days, which means that symptoms of the now-contaminated during the holiday season, "" she said. The outbreak has led to an interest in a vaccine is the all-time record, at the very least, in the Western Region. ""People call all the time. It is a good thing, and we have no shortage of the vaccine right now, but it's not going to be a shortfall, you should think about how much of a hurry, it is, "" said Eva Lindhusen Lindhé. She denied also the rumors that the infection was derived from the EU-migrants from Romania and Bulgaria. – As far as I know, there is no such link. The so-called "" indexpatienten was infected after a trip to the south of europe. In countries such as Italy, France, germany and the Uk, is a disease of quite common occurrence. Not that it was "" a vaccination programme, but because people choose not to get vaccinated. The magical boundary That the vaccination coverage in Sweden is good, it is, however, not the case. In Sweden, as a whole, about 97%, which is two percentage points above the ""magic limit"" for 95 per cent of which are usually referred to the so-called gruppimmunitet to occur when unvaccinated people are protected, thanks to all of those around them has been vaccinated themselves. However, the protection varies. In a survey carried out by the TT shows that the whole of the 46 local authorities are below the threshold, and the eleven municipalities are below the 90 per cent. At the very least is fun just Övertornea, where the only 83,5 € 84 per cent of babies born in 2013 to be vaccinated, 18 months later. Even within the same community, there can be a wide variation. In the Järva area, in the north-west of Stockholm, in which around a dozen people, including several children fell ill of the measles vaccine in the last year, it is the only 82-85 percent. ""There is a risk in all of these areas, at least to a limited spread of infection,"" says Eva Lindhusen Lindhé. Up to the late 1980s, however, several thousand of the swedes, as in the measles, but the disease has become rare since it was first introduced in the barnvaccinationsprogrammet. The first dose is given at 18 months of age in a combination vaccine together with measles and passjukan. The second dose is to be given in a year or two. In addition, children under the age of 18 months, there are also a number of adult swedes, who have no protection. Usually, it is about the people who were born in the late 1960s or in the 1970s who didn't have time to get the disease as a child, but was too old when the vaccine was introduced in the barnvaccinationsprogrammet.

Most cases have occurred in people who either were not vaccinated or were vaccinated inadequately.The WHO added that if the area had higher than ever estimated coverage for the second dose of the vaccine of measles in 2017 --about 90%--, some countries had problems, such as decreasing or stagnant vaccination coverage in some cases, low coverage of certain marginal groups and gaps in vaccination in older people.The WHO called the national health authorities in the region to focus their efforts to ensure that all population groups have access to vaccines.""The effect on public health will persist until the ongoing outbreaks brought under control,"" he said, adding that the health authorities should ""identify those who have missed the vaccine in the past, and to reach them with the vaccines they need"".Fund report of the United Nations for Childhood (UNICEF) published last month reported that more than 20 million children in the time skip vaccines of measles around the world for the last eight years, preparing the ground for dangerous outbreaks of the virus.Source: ana - MPA",93,"greece"
"73103","Uncovered against measles is at least 350,000 children in our country, aged 15 months to four years, while unknown is the number of adults born after 1970 who have not been vaccinated. The above pointed out by the president of the Hellenic Pediatric Company, emeritus professor of Pediatrics, university of Athens, Andreas Konstantopoulos, at a special event for the disease, on the occasion of the outbreaks of measles in our country. In the last month alone have become a $ 100,000 vaccinations with the measles - mumps - rubella (MMR), he stressed and added that we should not consider the disease harmless because it is highly contagious even before the appearance of the characteristic rash and dangerous complications. Like he said, studies have shown that one in three diseased will present some complication of the respiratory or of the gastrointestinal or encephalitis, which can occur even ten years after the illness of the person, while sometimes it can even lead to death. The complications, he noted, are common in children under five years of age and in adults. Newborns and infants up to 12 months may be affected at the first month of their life, if the mother has not been vaccinated or diagnosed with the same from measles. For the theory that breastfeeding protects against the measles, the professor clarified that is not the case. ""The newborn is protected only if the mother has been vaccinated, or if he has the same disease in the past,"" he explained and added that recently he was admitted a mother with two months old baby to the hospital, Children's hospital ""Ag. Sofia"" with the measles. For the two doses of the vaccine the A. Konstantopoulos stated that the first dose covers 95% of the vaccinated and the remaining 5% creates antibodies from the vaccination of the total, while the second dose is to maintain immunity and it is of exceptional importance. The professor spoke in favor of the binding of the vaccination for the child's attendance at school and, indeed, has loaded responsibilities to all ministers of Health who took the political cost to make a decision that requires parents to vaccinate children before enrolling in school."" The reason for the distrust of the Greeks against the vaccinations, he said, was the open question of the vaccine for the pandemic flu in 2009. ""Then warn that you will find in front of us,"" he said. Increasing the number of cases at The same time, our country counts thirty new cases of measles, bringing the total number to 196, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

"2521","If it was a time where we thought we could eradicate it, measles is back in France. After having virtually disappeared for nearly two decades, it has experienced a sharp upsurge in November 2017. Public health, France has recorded no less of 1527 cases since the beginning of the year 2018, of which 51% (or 819) in New Aquitaine, the only region in the situation of the epidemic. And although measles is considered a childhood disease, it is mostly for the adults that this epidemic is bad news. Because if this viral disease is considered a rite of passage in a child, in the same way as the chicken pox, it hits with a violence specific to the age group of 20-40 years. Incorrectly immunized because of poor or lack of vaccination, these are the people most likely to develop complications very severe or even fatal, like the young woman of 32 years died of the measles at the CHU of Poitiers in February 2018. Complications very severe in adults measles is a viral disease highly contagious : a person can infect 20 people alone. It is characterized by high fever, conjunctivitis and oedema of the eyelids, a runny nose, a cough violent, diarrhea and vomiting. Three or four days after infection, a rash typical of measles – small red patches, slightly raised and spaced by a few millimetres – grows everywhere on the body. These symptoms are usually mild in children of more than six months. But when adults are infected, they can escalate and lead to complications very severe : respiratory infections, neurological complications, blindness, dehydration, damage to the liver, kidneys... It is the case of Sacha, a student of 22 years of pharmacy in Bordeaux interviewed by South West. Never vaccinated, the young man caught the measles ""believing themselves protected, to wrong,"" and has developed a lung disease (an infection of the respiratory system), as well as ulcerations on the cornea. Hospitalized for a week, then he had to spend a month lying in the dark with sunglasses to avoid becoming blind. As pointed out by public Health France in its annual report, hospitalisations due to measles are more common among infants of less than a year... and in adults over the age of 20. 20-40 years of age more exposed to the measles By this age group is particularly susceptible to catching measles and represents a vector of contamination important. The MMR vaccine (a triple vaccine against rubella, measles and mumps) has been introduced in France in 1983. Before this date, it is estimated that virtually all of the French have had measles and therefore are immune – no one can catch only once. In 1996, a second dose of the vaccine is prescribed to strengthen immunity against the disease. But this vaccine did not become mandatory until January 1, 2018, to fight against the violent upsurge of diseases practically eradicated previously. Despite official recommendations, many people born after 1980 have not been vaccinated or have received only a single dose, which is not enough to protect them throughout their life. ""There has been an accumulation of people who have not been immunized over time, explains Marianne Stéphanie Vandentorren, physician epidemiologist at public Health France. ""The age group most affected is that of 20-30 years, while it is also the risk of contracting the most severe forms of the disease"". Vaccination of caution, health authorities advise adults who are not certain to be immune to absolute vigilance, especially if they live in New Aquitaine where there is always an epidemic of measles. In case of doubt, it is possible to realize a blood test that determines if the patient has been in contact with the rubella virus. Since the MMR vaccine also protects against this disease, if the test is positive, it is likely that the person has received one or two doses. But this test is not 100% reliable. As a precaution, doctors recommend so to 20-40 years to get vaccinated in any doubt : a double-vaccination will not pose any risk. ""If we don't know and that one was born after 1980, do not hesitate, it is necessary to make at least one dose"" advocates in The Figaro Daniel Floret, pediatrician-infectiologist.",92,"france"

Although she, too, sees opponents as ""a major health risk"". But before it could be discussed in Germany, a vaccination, it must be examined what are the experiences in Italy and France were made after the local introduction of a vaccination for measles. ""If it turns out that the two countries have successes through vaccination, we should also discuss in Germany about a vaccination,"" said Maag. Green put on consultation rather than coercion and sanctions, The Union expert at the same time expressed concerns. Short or long term, a statutory mandatory vaccination would land before the Federal constitutional court, said Maag. For the prevention of measles, a lot has already been done. So unvaccinated children should be excluded for a time from the daycare to visit and parents would have to pay in the case of a refusal of the vaccination advice high fines. Also, the Greens are faced with a mandatory vaccination negative. In the view of health expert, Kordula Schulz-ash must be placed on consultation rather than on compulsion and sanctions. A compulsory vaccination was discussed in Germany already repeatedly, especially after regional severe measles outbreaks. While pediatricians have been demanding for a longer a compulsory vaccination, the Federal government, yet skeptical.

These actions, continues Lorenzin, allow us to raise quickly the level of coverage throughout the community, and securing the whole of the population . In the case of schools, these will have the obligation to report to local health services the lack of vaccination, the local health authority will have the obligation to call the family and give days to to vaccinate.

Are the data that emerge from a study conducted by Unicef on data from the world Health Organization (Who). Two doses of the measles vaccine is essential to protect children from the disease. However, due to lack of access, inadequate health care systems, the carelessness and, in some cases, the fear and the skepticism about vaccines, the global coverage of the first dose of the vaccine for the measles in 2017 was 85%, and this figure remained relatively constant in the last decade, despite population growth. The global coverage for the second dose is much lower, at 67%. The Who recommends a threshold of 95% immunization coverage to reach the so-called ""immunity of the flock"". The 10 high-income Countries, where children have not received the first dose of measles vaccine between 2010 and 2017 United States: 2.593.000 France: 608.000 United Kingdom: 527.000 Argentina: 438.000 Italy: Well 435,000 Japan: 374.000 Canada: 287.000 Germany: 168.000 Australia: 138.000 Chile: 136,000 Jewish According to the latest data, in high-income Countries, the coverage of the first dose is 94%, for the second it is 91%. The United States are in the top ranking of the high-income Countries with the greatest number of children who have not received the first dose of the vaccine between 2010 and 2017, more than 2.5 million children. Followed by France and the United Kingdom with respectively 600,000 and 500,000 children not vaccinated in the same period. Italy is in fifth place with a well 435,000 children are not vaccinated. In Countries with low and medium income, the situation is critical. In 2017, for example, Nigeria had the highest number of children under 1 year who had not received the first dose of the vaccine, about 4 million, followed by India with 2.9 million, Pakistan and Indonesia with 1.2 million each, and Ethiopia with 1.1 million. The levels of global coverage for the second dose of the measles vaccine are even more alarming. Of the 20 countries with the largest number of children not vaccinated in 2017, 9 have not introduced the second dose. 20 countries in sub-saharan Africa have not introduced the second dose is necessary in the national program of vaccination, exposing more than 17 million infants a year at a much higher risk of measles during their childhood. The growth in the number of children not vaccinated has created a path to outbreaks of measles that is now affecting different countries of the world. “The ground for the outbreaks of measles we are seeing today was laid years ago,” said Henrietta Fore, the Director-general of Unicef. “The measles virus, you will always find children that aren't vaccinated. If we want to seriously prevent the spread of this dangerous but preventable disease, we should vaccinate each and every child, both in the rich countries than in poor ones.

Measles is a respiratory disease very severe podusa of the virus rujeolos, highly contagious, and sometimes fatal, according to the website desprevaccin.the ro, which was launched last year by the Ministry of Health.

It starts off on the skin of the face and head and then expand on the rest of the body, to the appearance of “the baby spattered with paint.” The general condition of the patient is profoundly altered. The complications of measles are more frequent and severe. One of the 4 kids end up in hospital due to the severity of the disease, and one out of 1,000 cases, it shows inflammation of the brain (which can lead to the deterioration of the function of it), and one or two cases out of 1,000 it can result in a fatal outcome despite the best of medical care. A sick person can infect 9 out of 10 people with whom they come in contact with. The risk is great for the younger kids for the last nine months can not be vaccinated, and that if they do get sick, it can result in severe forms of the disease. A category of vulnerable are women who are pregnant, the risk of miscarriage or of giving birth prematurely, in a situation where you don't have the protection (by disease, illness, past or through vaccination). And, the fetus may be affected by the virus.

"30214","Last year the World Health Organization declared that the UK eliminated measles.  This is a huge achievement that is testament to the hard work by NHS health professionals over many years to ensure that children and adults are fully protected with two doses of the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine.  Following this news, it may be surprising to hear that despite the UK achieving measles elimination status, there are currently a number of measles outbreaks around the country.  Elimination means that measles is no longer native to the UK. It does not mean that measles has disappeared.  Measles remains endemic in many countries around the world and there are currently several large outbreaks across Europe in countries where MMR vaccine uptake has been low. Until measles elimination is achieved globally we will continue to see importations of the measles virus to the UK.  This can then circulate and lead to outbreaks in communities and areas where MMR vaccination coverage is below the 95% needed to achieve herd immunity.  Vaccinating against measles  Measles is a viral illness that can lead to serious complications and even death. Before the introduction of measles vaccine in 1968, annual measles notifications ranged from 160,000 and 800,000, with peaks every two years. More than 90% of adults had evidence of previous infection and around 100 deaths from acute measles were recorded each year.  Following the introduction of the MMR vaccine for all children in 1988 and the achievement of 90% coverage levels, the number of measles cases and deaths fell to very low levels. To maintain control and to achieve measles elimination a second dose MMR vaccine was introduced as a pre-school booster in 1996. After these changes the UK interrupted endemic transmission of the illness.  High levels of media coverage and debate in the public eye about the now refuted link between MMR and autism led to a drop in MMR coverage in the late nineties, which took many years to recover.  Measles cases subsequently continued to rise nationally and in 2006 endemic transmission became re-established.  Since then, there have been regional and national catch-up campaigns to target age-groups where vaccine coverage was low that have helped to increase herd immunity in older age groups. This, combined with work to strengthen the routine MMR programme and reaching the World Health Organization 95% coverage target for the first MMR dose in 2017, led to the UK achieving elimination.  However, measles is one of the most infectious diseases known to man and so it can take only one person travelling back to an area with lower vaccination rates to cause an outbreak. Anyone who has not received 2 doses of MMR vaccine is at risk.  This is why we continue to urge all those eligible to get the MMR vaccine. Individuals of any age who have not received two doses of the MMR vaccine, or those who are unsure if they are protected should speak to their GP - it’s never too late.  As history teaches us, elimination can only be sustained going forward by maintaining and improving coverage of the MMR vaccine in children and by using all opportunities to catch up older children and adults who missed out when they were younger.

""So, breathe in, breathe out, the Argument slowly and now:-w-i-e-g-e-l-n! From-w-i-e-g-e-l-n! From-w-i-e-g-e-l-n“ It's late afternoon in the mediation Studio by Lasse Strobl (27). In front of him: a group of sweaty thirty year olds in stretch-suits, one inside the other tangled in mats are. He advises two rather angry-looking industry hosts who are lost in various interpretations of the chimney sweeps of municipal regulation. While Serkan D. has already been able to successfully back from his excessive demands, wants, Oliver N. keep still hell-bent on law. ""Mr. N., we talked about this. You focus your inner Heiner Geißler!“ The stubborn Patient takes a deep breath, to focus, to a powerful replica and then offers spontaneously to postpone the discussion. The mediation group claps surprised applause. Mediation studios, such as the Let Strobl shoot like mushrooms from the ground: in inaccessible, damp Places, and most of them are unfit for human consumption to be harmful. Nevertheless, The Trend is unstoppable. ""In the past, Mediation was something for huge international companies or institutions such as the world trade organization. Since it was a aircraft carrier, crude oil prices, fishing quotas. But the little people have a right to be in the dubious back-room discussions to an agreement.“ Atrophied reconciliation hand of The basic course in Strobl costs 750 Euro. You will receive a 90-minute Seminar that teaches you how to say in discussions, sometimes nothing, or knowing eye-roll. ""That helps a lot already,"" says Strobl. Many of the office people for the shrug competent muscles were atrophied, as well as the reconciliation by hand. ""Our ancestors had to daily wipe up to one hundred Times the concerns, if they wanted to survive,"" adds the mediation trainer. ""The equipment for these skills are in all of us there! You just have to be activated.“ Olaf S. has been two years in Strobl: ""Since I mediiere a day, it makes me feel just so much better!"" The coach wobbles playfully with his index finger. ""Oh, was that a challenging Statement? Sorry, I should have formulate the procedural, to our expectation of a thermostat to be downloaded dim.“ He thinks for a moment and starts again: ""Since I meditate almost on a daily basis, it's me, in accordance with the provisions of all to me, so far, referred to the needs, is still quite good, although I don't want to close the window of Opportunity for further concessions to future, as yet unknown types of use is premature."" No independent needs coach Strobl knocks him appreciatively on the shoulder. After two years of mediation training Olaf S.. virtually no stand-alone needs more – and basically no positions that he can't immediately give back price. His net salary is decreased to 800 euros, even though he works ten hours longer. ""Because he is pulled from all of the permanent on the table"", says Strobl. ""However, he is, and pulled out the new, now in the comprehensive agreement on the table. So he can sleep at night better again, from exhaustion.“ Mosaics from Pompeii show that the Romans mediated in their spare time. ""There is a famous ceiling painting, which shows how a Gladiator in the Arena glued to colored card with his / her expectations on a whiteboard. I think we can learn a lot from this Gladiator.“ From the Bible known to the Solomonic Mediation, at the seminar, king Solomon was just a Baby under two warring mothers – split with the sword. ""What is important is not so much that the mothers got what they wanted. But that they wanted, what they got! And that was guaranteed to Solomon! Because he can execute them Yes otherwise would have. After all, he was a king as well,“ says Strobl. Soothing Emptiness in the head, The new need for Mediation researchers to lead the social to the more complex world with its many conflicts. ""The opinions are radical, the confrontations more violent,"" says the sociologist Floris Biskamp (Name not thought up). ""Or is formulated to dramatically? We say that: Subject to further findings on this issue, the opinion is that some opinions – not all! something more radical will be. Others may have different ways. But I may be mistaken.“ Who does not want to run to the expensive mediation trainer, can also mediate in the break – for example with Apps like DiscuDream. Here, you will be hooked by a random generator in a current Social Media debate, where you can to your heart's content mediate. ""I your tone search is not helpful"" to ""I think we know all too little about this subject"" provides DiscuDream pre-formulated mediation helps the show in 95 percent of all conflicts immediately effect. Studies show: after 20 minutes, many patients feel a soothing Emptiness in the head, which persists in part for hours on end. Let Strobl holds this private way in the Mediation for concern: ""Who exposed himself, without the accompaniment of strong opinions, exposes, such as from the column area of Bento, has a tendency to take you."" Rather, he recommends the establishment of workshop for meta-communication: ""you will learn, even extreme opinions, and to not tolerate the things of which you know that there is you, by repeating each statement and the question, 'Have I understood you correctly?' put in front of them."" Unprotected strong opinions Strobl is also from unscrupulous esoteric mediation gurus who promise that by skillful Debate, serious diseases such as cancer, Aids, or rebelliousness heal. ""This is frivolous"", says Strobl. ""Diseases are retracted in their patterns of Argument in such a way that it takes a very experienced mediators to get into a conversation with you. Measles, for example, are incredibly stubborn, pull back to positions such as 'we have always done it like that’. Autoimmune diseases repel, by contrast, everything feel right into a debt trap pushed, and throw then all of a sudden with porcelain.“ Who wants to come with his illness into the conversation, should bring quite a lot of time and even more money. Most of the problems can but not with money, but with conversations, so Strobl: ""If you are unsure whether your Mediator is the right thing to do, you should go along with him to a super mediator. This can be channeling the wisdom of the deceased mediators and hidden reconciliation of reserves to draw on, of which you guessed it, nothing.“ It is also important here, to come as early as possible with as many people as possible in conversation, in order to keep the common denominator as small as possible: ""As in homeopathy: If your Position is nothing more detectable, it is the strongest!""

To launch the alert on the emergency measles in the Old Continent is the world health Organization (Who), in its latest report that it passes to the sieve, the epidemiological situation in 48 european Countries and asks governments to ""intensify vaccination campaigns"". In the rest of the world, as is already apparent from the previous report, the number of cases has increased 300% in the first half of 2019, around 364.808. The Who refers to 89.994 cases reported in 48 Countries in europe, more than double compared to the same period in 2018, when they were 44.175, and already higher than all of those, 2018, in 84.462. It also stresses the Who, the disease has reappeared in four Countries - the United Kingdom, Greece, Czech Republic and Albania - which had been declared ""eliminated"". For the agency, based in Geneva, to obtain the status of ""deleting"" in a given region, there must be an absence of continuous transmission for at least 12 months. It is not gone so in the United Kingdom (953 cases in 2018 and 489 from the beginning of the year), while in Greece they were 2193 last year and 28 this, in Albania in 2019, we are at the altitude of 475 and in the Czech Republic at 569. Numbers to the hand, in Europe 60% of the victims - 37 from the beginning of the year and 74 in 2018 - less than 19 years. From the beginning of the year 78% of cases was detected in four outbreaks of infection: Kazakhstan, Georgia, Russia and Ukraine, which alone records the 60%. Measles is endemic in 12 european Countries, including Italy, France, and Germany, where vaccination will become mandatory by march 2020. Austria and Switzerland have, however, had access to the status of ""deleting"" after demonstrating the interruption of transmission for at least 36 months, becoming part of the group of 35 Countries declared to be free from measles.",90,"italy"
"6193","We are not even half of 2019, and in the Lazio region, the cases of measles are as numerous as those recorded in the region in 2018. From January to April, in fact, have been reported 245 cases in the face of the 261 registered in the Lazio region, in all 12 months of last year. In practice, in these first 4 months there has been an increase of over 50% of cases, compared to the same period in 2018. The last report of the Istituto superiore di sanita (Iss) is not comforting at all, even if at national level the total infections in the these first 4 months is lower compared to the same period in 2018: 864 cases of 1.258, 2018. The peak this year seems to have been April, with 299 cases. Lombardy is the second region, after Lazio, with more infections (233), followed by the Emilia-Romagna region (144). The only regions measles ""free"" from the beginning of the year at the end of April, there were Valle d'aosta and Basilicata, followed by Sardinia with a case and the autonomous provinces of Trento and Bolzano with two. In 32.6% of the total cases there was at least one complication, including two cases of encephalitis. CHANGE ""The data certainly more eloquent is the increase in the average age of the people infected, up from 27-28 to 30 years,"" reports Giovanni Rezza, director of the Department of infectious diseases at the Iss. ""They are people who have never been vaccinated - he continues - and that you probably have never thought of it. Yet, should, because, 30 years old, the risk of complications increases. It is worth mentioning that the vaccine for the measles in our country is offered free of charge to all"". Even if Italy is one of the countries where the emergency measles is high, the problem crosses national borders and affects the whole of Europe. EUROPE According to the european Centre for disease control (Ecdc) by 1 January 2016 to 31 march 2019 in the Eu are registered 44.074 cases, with an average in the last year over 1 million people affected. In the last 10 years in the Eu have registered more than 144mila cases, and successive outbreaks that have involved more countries. In 2019 have been reported so far 3.841 cases of measles. The problem continues to be the low immunization coverage: in 2017, only four nations had reached the threshold of 95%, compared to 14 Countries in 2007. The number of children not vaccinated for measles in the European Union between 1999 and 2019, has reached the level of usd 4.5 million. In Italy it is estimated that over 1 million children and adolescents are not immune. The problem is that the contagion spread from one country to another Country of the Eu, so that in the three-year period 2016-2019, almost half of the cases (43%) was ""imported"" by a member State with a vaccine coverage is low and in which there had been an epidemic of measles. The EXPORT to Italy is one of The countries that most exported cases to other european countries: between 2016 and 2019 is estimated to have been 81. The value that puts us in second place after Romania (253), and before Germany (36) France (33). According to the Ecdc until the vaccination coverage remains below the minimum optimal gaps of immunity will remain a threat to the health of cross-border throughout the Eu.

"27916","Lancashire is at heightened risk of a measles outbreak as vaccination levels fall, experts have warned.  Cases in the UK have also rocketed this year, as figures show parents are still not taking thousands of young children for their measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccines. It means the area is falling below the vaccination level the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) says is required to prevent outbreaks of measles.  The most recent figures show that, in the 2016-17 financial year, 85% of children in Lancashire turning five had received the recommended two MMR jabs. It means that an estimated 2,100 five-year-olds in the area had not been vaccinated.  The ECDC warns that areas in which fewer than 95% of the population are vaccinated are at a heightened risk of a measles outbreak.  And Lancashire falls below the North west average, where 90% of children had received both MMR jabs by the age of five in 2016-17.  In the UK, 757 cases of measles have been reported so far this year – nearly triple the 274 cases reported in the whole of 2017.  The Royal College of Nursing (RCN) has also advised teenagers who missed their jabs in the late 1990s to ensure they are up to date before travelling. Many missed the course of vaccination following discredited scare stories over links between the vaccine and developing autism.  While local figures are not available, NHS numbers show that by 2005-06, over a quarter of five-year-olds in England were not receiving both MMR jabs.  Following significant outbreaks in France, Italy, Greece and Romania, the RCN’s Helen Donovan said the threat posed by measles should not be underestimated.  She said: “Measles is extremely infectious, especially where large crowds of people gather, such as at festivals or in towns.  ""Thanks to vaccination it has become increasingly rare in the UK, but recent increases in infection rates show we can’t be complacent.""  Ms Donovan also urged people to ensure their vaccinations are up to date, by contacting their GP.  She added: “The MMR vaccine is free. Getting immunised is quick and simple – an appointment with your practice nurse will only take a few minutes.”  In the UK, babies are usually given the first MMR jab within a month of their first birthday, as part of their routine vaccination schedule. The second is usually given after they turn three.  Children up to the age of 18 who missed their jabs are still eligible to receive them free on the NHS, as are certain vulnerable adults, including pregnant women.",90,"uk"
"28015","Public Health England has confirmed there have been 42 cases of measles in Kent since the beginning of this year.  The head of public health at Kent County Council says the outbreak is due to the amount of children having measles, mumps and rubella vaccines, being below the national target.  He believes this could be a result of misinformation and worries about the links between the injections and autism.  Officials have confirmed 42 cases of measles in Kent since the start of the year  To ensure the entire population is protected against these preventative infections, there is a target of 95% of children to receive both the initial jab following their first birthday and the booster when they start school.

""I think perhaps parents are not given enough information about making that judgement.""

Dr Mary Ramsay, head of immunisation at Public Health England (PHE), said: ""In the early 2000s there was a fall in MMR vaccination coverage in children and as a consequence, we are now seeing measles cases in young adults.

In 2017 the World Health Organization declared that Spain has eliminated the measles, after a period of 36 months without transmission endemic (2014, 2015 and 2016). The councillor for Sports and Health has explained that ""the municipality of Murcia has behaved as a safe place, with a solid herd immunity, provided by the excellent immunization coverage and a great response capacity of the health system. Since 1999 it has prevented about 100,000 cases of measles"". Measles is an infectious disease, contagious, which, until recently, almost all the people shrunk at some point in their life, usually in childhood. Presented in the form of waves in the epidemic, every 2-3 years, virtually all children born since the last wave epidemic got sick. For the most supposed to be a week of prostration, with high fever and great weakness, but some were suffering complications, such as severe diarrhea, blindness, pneumonia, encephalitis and subacute sclerosing panencephalitis, it is estimated that producing one death per 1,000 cases. Remains a disease is endemo-epidemic in many countries, and according to WHO still produces some 100,000 deaths a year, mostly in underdeveloped countries. In Europe the majority of the cases are concentrated in Ukraine, Romania and Albania. Countries such as France, the Uk and Italy are still suffering from large flare-ups. There was a first monovalent vaccine against measles came into use in 1963, but in Spain and in Murcia had an impact almost null in the epidemiology of the disease. In 1981 was introduced in the immunization schedule the mmr (Measles, Rubella and Mumps), in the years following the expansion of the health system, with the development of the primary care and programs computerized immunization led to a rapid increase of the coverage vaccine, which escalated from figures of around 90 % in the eighties, 95 percent in the late nineties and 98 percent in year two thousand. The decline of the disease began in the 90's, and the number of cases was drastically reduced, until in 1999 it was declared a single case in the municipality of Murcia, 20 years without transmission endemic. Since then, measles has re-entered up to three times in the municipality of Murcia, with imported cases of Barcelona, Almería and Elche, cities that were producing large outbreaks. The most important occurred in 2012, with three cases in a same family, being the index case that was imported from Elche. In regards to rubella, in 2016, WHO declared that Spain had eliminated this disease, after a period of 36 months without transmission endemic (2013, 2014 and 2015). In the municipality of Murcia has not declared any case of rubella since 2008, the year in which it is stated in a single case.

"2509"," Overall, it is not enough immunized against measles in most of the 5 departments of Hauts-de-France. According to the denrieres Public Health data in France, in 2015, 76% of children aged 2 years had received two doses of vaccine. A figure lower than the national average, which was 79%. A figure that increased to 80% in 2016. This is especially the immunization coverage ""two doses,"" which is not well respected : if more than 90% of infants receive the first dose at their year, they are less than 80% to be injected with the second dose, the one that makes the vaccine effective. It is in the Oise that this vaccination coverage ""two doses"" is better : 84% (83% in 2015) of children aged 24 months are vaccinated, as it should be.

"2514","The epidemic that struck the New-Aquitaine has ended up interfering in the Lot-et-Garonne. Five patients would be affected. In fact, too many people are not yet vaccinated to date. Since the death of a young woman of 32 years to Poitiers last weekend, this epidemic of measles spread in the South-West making a lot of noise. How a childhood illness that she could cause the death of a young adult ? Dr. Pascal Fabre works in the regional Agency of health (ARS). It follows particularly this phenomenon, and pulls the alarm : measles is not a benign disease. Measles is a disease that is easily transmitted ? Dr. Pascal Fabre : We are dealing with an epidemic linked to two issues. First, it is actually very contagious. It is believed that a sick person will transmit the virus, on average, to 20 people. Then, the coverage is weak. Particularly in New-Aquitaine. To what point ? To speak of the Lot-et-Garonne, it is currently at 72 % of vaccinated persons. So it would take a rate of 95 % to be able to stop the spread of the epidemic. How do you explain this too low ? In the collective unconscious, measles is a childhood disease. People have not grasped the severity of this disease. It can degenerate into pulmonary complications and neurological (edema, encephalitis, meningitis). I can understand that a young student doesn't think to get vaccinated... However, young adults today are very exposed. Why ? Are these not the young children who are the main victims ? Traditionally yes. But since the 1st of January, the vaccine is mandatory for newborns. Whereas before, it was only strongly recommended. And in force since 1980. Before this date, the virus was wild and flowed a lot more. Therefore, the organisms are naturally adapted to push it back. Gold since 1980, and the introduction of the vaccine, its spread has been limited and the bodies of humans have more developed natural defenses in the face of this virus. Therefore, people born after 1980 and non-vaccinated today are very exposed. And can contract forms of measles, very serious as the young woman of Poitiers... complications that result in hospitalization remain very rare, 2% or 3%. But it is not necessary to take risks. I advise very strongly to people born after 1980 to check very quickly with their doctor their vaccination record. What should he do if one shows the symptoms of measles ? First call his doctor. No need to go to the emergency room and risking to contaminate all the world. The doctor may very well come around to your home for diagnosis. After which, it will introduce a work stoppage of five days, the duration of the contagion. During this period, it is advisable to stay a maximum of isolated from public places. And to avoid it, wear a mask and avoid public places in case of a severe epidemic. And especially to strengthen the rules of hygiene, because the virus usually remains for two hours on the skin. The first symptoms of The warning signs are a fever greater than or equal to 38.5 °C, the runny nose, cough and red and watery eyes. In the aftermath, the rash first appear on the entire body. Attention, these symptoms may appear several days after having been infected by the measles virus. In digits The number : 5 cases of measles >identified in the Lot-et-Garonne. In recent days, three cases are validated, and two suspects have been registered in the department. All are young adults. The digit : 3/4 Children 2 years of age >are protected in New Aquitaine.

"2515","An infectious disease on the rise in France, The measles is an infectious disease in a strong resurgence in france since the end of 2017, affecting the majority of people not or poorly vaccinated. Five things to know about this disease characterized by eruption of red spots on the skin and that, before the arrival of the vaccines in the 1970s, was a dreaded killer of children (7 to 8 million deaths estimated by year in the world). A highly contagious disease, measles is caused by a virus that spreads very easily by direct contact or through the air. It is estimated that a patient can infect 15 to 20 people. After a phase of incubation silent, the disease is characterized by a high fever, runny nose, cough, watery eyes... In a second time, will appear red spots, which give its name to the disease. Potentially severe Complications of measles is dangerous for the complications that it may cause. Most of the deaths are due to secondary infection of the lung severe type of pneumonia. Other possible complications are : the involvement of the nervous system (encephalitis) which can cause serious consequences or even be life-threatening, involvement of the eyes (conjunctivitis, keratitis) which can lead to blindness, inflammation of the ears (ear infections) or dehydration associated with severe diarrhea. There is no specific antiviral treatment and the care of the patient endeavours to treat complications. Preventive Vaccination is The only effective way to protect against measles is vaccination a preventive. This vaccine has existed since 1968. In France, it has been included in the immunization schedule in 1983. It is generally available in the form of the combined vaccine MMR which also protects against mumps and rubella. Whereas it was formerly highly recommended, but not mandatory, the MMR vaccine became mandatory for all children born after January 1, 2018, with a dose at 12 months and a second between 16 and 18 months. Too low immunization coverage immunization coverage refers to the proportion of people in the general population, are effectively immunized against a disease. More this rate is high, the more difficult it is for an infection to spread. For measles, the coverage in France is 79%. There should be a rate of 95% for the collective protection against this highly contagious virus to be truly effective. Studies show that people born in the 80s are too weakly immunized against measles : it was a time where vaccination was gradually introduced, and where the virus was circulating less. Suddenly, many among this generation have never developed antibodies against the disease. Fear of a new outbreak After a decline between 2012 and 2016, the number of measles cases in France has started to rise again in November 2017, raising fears of an epidemic, such as those observed in Europe in 2017, and in France from 2008 to 2012. To June 24, 2018, 2 567 cases were reported since 6 November, according to the French health authorities, of which 22% resulted in hospitalization. 84 departments reported at least 1 case, the most affected being the Gironde (24%), Vienna (8%) and the Gard (6%).

"2547","An epidemic of rampant measles, which led to the death of a hundred children in Papua, in eastern Indonesia, the risk of repetition, if the authorities do not act quickly to take out this province of poverty and isolation, according to experts. Many poor villages in the district of Asmat are geographically very isolated, as the village of Ayam, with its houses on stilts. A simple house without modern facilities, there are office and clinic nurses who are providing care are overwhelmed, have found AFP reporters who have been able to access. About 800 children have fallen ill and hundreds have died, mostly babies, in the wake of this epidemic made public at the beginning of the month of January. Late response of the authorities to respond to the gravity of the situation, the indonesian president, used for joko Widodo, has ordered the military teams and medical supplies essential goods and medicines to the isolated villages of the region, accessible only by boat or by air for the most part. The health crisis that strikes the Asmat, this province is rich in natural resources, is due to decades of neglect on the part of local authorities, little conscious of the development of infrastructure. Corruption is a tradition well established in this distant province, and according to different indicators, only a very small fraction is allocated by the power centra materialises in the form of hospitals and food programs : poverty reigns. Many papuans are living in conditions of semi-nomadism, in places of the jungle are difficult to reach and virtually no medical care, or schools or other basic services, such as access to safe drinking water., The weight of the history of Irian Jaya, the western part of Papua was annexed by Indonesia in 1969, after a bloody conflict, and after more than a century of colonization the Dutch. In this province, the region of the Asmats has long remained very isolated because of the jungle and rivers. The ritualistic cannibalism was still practiced until recently. The opening of one of the largest mine of copper and gold open pit in the world has changed the view that the authorities had of this region of the Asmats. The authorities have created new districts and are trying to relocate a number of Papuans in the villages. But these changes force people to adapt to a new lifestyle and a diet that is harmful. The contact with other populations has also proved devastating. The Asmats reject in general the vaccination against measles is very effective. A sub-persistent development of The region of the Asmats is poor and benefits the theory of financial aid are important to the central government, but most of the money is not used for the improvement of health services and education. The mine, operated by the american company Freeport-McMoRan, would be raised each year us $ 600 million (482 million euros) in tax revenues but this money does not go to the Asmats, as noted by Andreas Harsono, of the NGO Human Rights Watch (HRW). Measles is not a benign disease, measles is an infectious disease caused by a virus and very contagious. It is related to a ""paramyxovirus"" and gives red buttons. It is transmitted mainly by the airborne route, for example when a sick person who is contagious coughs. But the early signs of measles (fever, red eyes, cough, and abdominal pain), that is to say before the appearance of the buttons, are a little suggestive, which may explain that a person infected infects, usually 15 to 20 others, according to experts. Measles may be complicated, especially in infants or in persons with fragile, and lead to a hospitalization. It is primarily a pneumonia with superinfection by bacteria. It is a serious infection of the lung that can lead the patient in the icu. Then, it is a risk of viral infection of the brain ("" encephalitis ""). These complications can lead to death, or give pulmonary sequelae and neurological life. ""I hope that this crisis will help some people here, at least those who are in power, to change his attitude, because if they choose to do as usual, another crisis will occur also next year,"" warned Andreas Harsono, a representative of Human Rights Watch (HRW).

"5171","The Health Services Executive (HSE) has confirmed 17 cases of measles, as reported by Newstalk. 12 of the cases are in Dublin, especially concentrated in the north of the city, and the other five are from an outbreak in Meath.  According to the HSE, both children and adults have fallen ill. The HSE are using the Measles Outbreak Control Team to investigate the outbreak.  Dr Deirdre Mulholland, director of public health for HSE East, has warned that people should be fully vaccinated in order to avoid falling gravely ill, as those with the measles are highly contagious.  The HSE believes that getting two doses of the MMR (Measles-Mumps-Rubella) vaccine will protect you from the measles.  They have also stated that people should take note of the risk of catching the measles in large groups, especially in doctor’s offices or hospitals.  They have urged the public to stay at home, and not to go to school or work if they are showing any signs of the measles.  The symptoms include a runny nose, swollen eyelids, sneezing, sensitivity to light, watery eyes and red eyes. People who contract the measles will also suffer from a mild to severe temperature, which can potentially reach over 40.6°C.  Other symptoms include a red-brown spotty rash, weak appetite, dry cough, fatigue, irritability, and general aches and pains.  These symptoms tend to show up ten days after you’ve been infected.  The measles is a highly contagious infection which spreads extremely quickly. The HSE states, “Someone with measles is infectious for two to four days before the rash appears and for about five days after it appears.”  Anyone who has not had the illness before is at risk of being infected.  If you have suffered from the measles before, the chances of reinfection are slim. However, the HSE states that even though it is rare, it can happen, so it is best to avoid contact with people suffering from the measles.  They encourage the public to stay away from those who are infected, “Most people who are not immune from measles and are sharing a house or in close contact with somebody who is infected will develop the condition.”  Unfortunately, there is no treatment for the measles. When the rash develops you need to rest as much as possible until your body is strong enough to fight the infection.  Medical professionals suggest taking ibuprofen to ease the pain. Closing the curtains and dimming the lights will help with sensitive eyes.  They advise those who have the measles to rest as much as possible and to drink plenty of fluids to avoid dehydration.  It is understood that the symptoms last for seven to 10 days.",88,"ireland"

The first confirmed cases were detected on January 3, and the outbreak was announced by the HSE on January 31.  ""During this outbreak MMR vaccine is free of charge to the public as the HSE is paying for the vaccine and for the GPs to give the vaccine.  ""The following groups, in particular, should check if they have had two doses of MMR and if not, visit their GP to get immunised as soon as possible.  ""If people do not have a medical record of their vaccination it is not harmful to have extra doses to be on the safe side: Parents under the age of 40 who have never had measles or haven’t had the full course of MMR vaccine; Adults under the age of 40 who work with the public; Couples under the age of 40 who may be planning a family; Adults and young people under the age of 40 who plan to travel abroad in the coming months.""

""Patients with symptoms of measles should avoid presenting to the emergency department where possible. If it is necessary to seek urgent care, it is important to inform the ambulance service or emergency department that you have symptoms consistent with measles beforehand so that the appropriate precautions can be taken.  ""Similarly, if you have been in contact with a confirmed case of measles and are seeking medical attention, please inform the healthcare provider before attending.  ""Measles is a serious public health issue. It is so contagious that if one person has it, 90% of the people close to that person who are not immune will also become infected.

Measles, which is, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), the disease is highly contagious, and potentially deadly. The authorities in Costa Rica have already put in place a plan of action to prevent, which is the focus of measles detected to spread in the population.

According to the Ministry of Health, and the child came to Costa Rica on February 18 and was not immunized against measles. The health authorities have tried to find all of the people who might have been in contact with the family, including the 300 passengers who had traveled on the same flight with Air France to a destination in the region, and to the staff at the hotel where the couple and the child were staying. In total, according to the most recent balance sheet, of the official, were reached 104 people.

The parents indicated that the health care professionals at the hospital for a few friends, he had the measles. Measles is one of the leading causes of death in children, although there is a vaccine that's safe and effective. In the fall of 2017, the disease has killed 111 people all over the world, and there has been an increase of 30% of the cases.

According to the world health organization in the past year, about 82 thousand people have contracted this infectious disease in 47 of the 53 countries in the region, the number of infected was the highest in a decade'. According to the Directorate-General for Health (DGS), with 93% of the cases of measles in the Uk that are registered in 2018, have been associated with the outbreak, the origin of the infection was initiated in the cases that are imported from other countries, including Italy, France, germany, Uganda, USA, the Czech Republic, and the Ukraine.

The agency has specified that two doses of vaccine are needed. Around 110,000 people die annually due to measles, a disease most deadly and contagious that, in addition, it has the aggravating circumstance that can lead to very severe complications to health such as blindness, encephalitis, dehydration, or infections such as pneumonia or otitis. During the last few months the number of cases of measles has skyrocketed and large outbreaks of the disease have been detected in countries like the united States which have grown to worrying proportions. This phenomenon occurs in industrialized countries with good systems of vaccination, because people are not vaccinating. To prevent the spread of this disease, the WHO recommends that all persons traveling to control your driver shots, and to verify that they have received two doses of vaccine. Travelers who are unsure of their situation should receive at least one dose of the measles vaccine fifteen days before starting the trip. WHO says that the measles vaccine can be administered along with other vaccines recommended in case of travelling as the yellow fever. The children, from six months, should be vaccinated with a extra doses of vaccine if they travel to countries with foci of infection. Those who are between 6 and 9 months and have received supplementary doses must retain the two prescribed doses. According to the health agency of the UN, the measles vaccine is not suitable for pregnant women. However, other people should be informed prior to travel of the risks of exposure to the measles virus, in case you need to get vaccinated, and the symptoms of this disease, so you can identify it quickly. Among the most common symptoms are high fever, which begins about ten or twelve days after being exposed to the virus and lasts about four or five days, the runny nose, cough, red eyes and some small spots of white inside the mouth. Several days after the rash appears, often on the face and in the upper part of the neck. Measles is spread by sneezing and coughing.

"28515","EVERYONE is blaming anti-vaxxers for the current measles outbreak and using it as yet another excuse to police social media and suppress free speech.  But this article from Nursing in Practice explains that anti-vaxxer messages are not the main reason for the lack of uptake.  It says: ‘Given the extensive coverage of the scandal in the press and the prevalent position of anti-vaccination groups in the news and social media, you’d be forgiven for assuming that false messaging about vaccination is one of the main drivers behind the lack of measles vaccine uptake.  ‘But north London GP Dr Ellie Cannon believes that access to vaccination services is a bigger issue for today’s general practices. “Although there’s an impression that anti-vaxxers or vaccine refusers are to blame, that’s not thought to be the main cause for the lack of uptake. It has more to do with ease of access [to services],” she says.  ‘There are many groups of people who are vulnerable – certain ethnic groups, travelling families, people with chaotic lifestyles – who are not being vaccinated. It’s because of a lack of access to appointments: for example, if they have difficulty registering with a GP or getting to appointments at certain times. It’s not [always] what we think – logistics, organisation and access are barriers for these groups.’  You might have thought that the fact that London has almost double the non-uptake rate of the rest of the country (1 in 4 vs 1 in 7) would have been a sign that it may be ethnicity related, given that minorities make up a majority of Londoners.  The article says: ‘In a survey of around 2,600 UK parents, the report found that almost half of parents agreed that timing or availability of appointments were a barrier to access. Childcare duties were the next most popular reason for not accessing appointments, with just under a third of parents agreeing this was a barrier.’  It adds: ‘Public Health England (PHE) has also urged general practices to take steps to improve access for those at risk of not attending for routine immunisations. In an interview with the Pharmaceutical Journal earlier this year, Jamie Lopez Bernal, a consultant epidemiologist in the Immunisation and Countermeasures Division at PHE, said: “While vaccine hesitancy may be a factor for a small minority of parents, we know from our parental attitudinal surveys that confidence in the immunisation programme is high – the proportion of parents with concerns that would make them consider not having their child immunised has been at an all-time low for the past three years. Timing, availability and location of appointments have been identified as barriers to vaccination by parents and healthcare professionals.”’  It concludes: ‘Dr Cannon, however, believes that access should be the most important area of focus for those working on the front line. “There’s not much we can do to change the beliefs of anti-vaxxers,” she says. “It is part of the reason for the lack of uptake, but it’s the part we probably can’t change.”’",88,"uk"
"6203","Definitely the reason why today there is much talk about vaccines is mainly due to the recent introduction of compulsory vaccination, which has raised a lot of controversy, but what is more striking and real than die today for an infectious disease preventable with a vaccine that costs just a few euro) is without doubt inadmissible. The vaccine for measles is one of these, absolutely essential, free of any age (adults and children) and costs a few euros to the public Health . That to which we today are witnessing is a sort of schizophrenia, the collective that leads the detractors of vaccination to accept it for diseases such as polio, diphtheria, smallpox, but in the back of a disease like measles, mistakenly thought to be harmless. The one that, curiously, do not know is that smallpox, for example, (eradicated completely in the world, thanks to mass vaccination), the time in which raged for the absence of a vaccine, was exchanged erroneously for measles, so the two diseases were similar, and both reaped numerous victims, although smallpox had, however, a mortality rate greater than the measles. No doctor in medieval times you would have never dreamed of joking with a disease such as measles, as well as any parent, would have had the unhealthy idea to hold a measles party, as seems to have been circulating in the network between groups of battle-hardened parents no-vax. As the same prof. Pier Luigi Stage said in his recent radio interview, are huge efforts that the WHO is doing to eradicate dangerous diseases such as polio,strongly confined, but not yet eradicated, and the only way to do this is to use the mass vaccination, as for smallpox. There is a plan of the WHO to eradicate measles, just because it is considered a disease socially dangerous, for its very high capacity of infection and the severity of the permanent damage that can result at the level of the S. N. C. (Central Nervous System) and respiratory, without forgetting the most serious aspect that is precisely the death, as recent news events have taught us (Catania have already occurred two deaths from complications, a 25 years old girl and a baby of 10 months). The same wave of schizophrenia collective brings detractors to accept the vaccine for rubella, especially in view of a pregnancy, but at the same time to avoid the vaccine if you are not going to get pregnant. It is well to remember that this way of thinking is totally irrational, besides that, the irresponsible, the vaccines are not needed when the outbreak is already turned on or when the disease is already contracted, but serve to PREVENT the circulation of viruses, preventing that the same may also reach those who are not vaccinated because they are too small to be so or simply because it has a disease that will not allow to be vaccinated. A pregnant woman, even if it comes in contact with the rubella virus if the vaccinated will not transmit the virus to the fetus, thus avoiding the risk of abortion, intrauterine death, or the damage that this terrible disease can cause in the first trimester of pregnancy to the future unborn child (Read here). The paradox is that today in protest against the vaccines, while in the early ’60s, when the damage of the infectious diseases preventable with the vaccine were clearly visible to all, people took to the streets against Big Pharma, accusing it of not make available the vaccine against polio. But then what is it that scares you so much that the parents of today, to the point of making them irrational? Surely the fear of side-effects. The side effects of vaccines are well known, widely studied and clearly less dangerous than contracting the disease itself (click HERE to download the “Guide to Intergalactic for Parents, Doubtful“). Reports of adverse reactions are made to AIFA (Italian drug agency). These can be made by anyone, even online. Imagine, therefore, the amount of data that comes to the agency, especially if it is to do the reporting are the parents of a child just vaccinated, who are not able to properly distinguish between a real adverse event, and a reaction waiting, like, for example, hyperemia (redness) focused at the point of inoculation. In the latest report of AIFA (the year 2016) in the area of vaccine safety can be read as the percentage of reports of suspected adverse drug reactions, which are going to meet at full resolution, were, respectively 77,5% for vaccines bacterial, 77.2% for vaccines to viral and 79.9% for bacterial and viral vaccines in the association. These data testify to the fact that the percentage of reports from really taking into consideration is very low and concerns the reactions are almost always considered mild. A fact is that, for a given sample, if we consider the relationship between serious adverse reactions and number of patients receiving vaccination, the value obtained is far less than any other medication administered. In practice, we can say without fear of contradiction that vaccines are among the drugs most secure currently on the market, safer than the same aspirin or the same omeprazole. Inform correctly is never simple, as it is never easy to settle any doubt on the matter for those who have no scientific expertise in this regard. The problem here is not to believe or not to believe. Science is not an act of faith, there is nothing in which to believe. Science analyzes and formulates hypotheses which follows a demonstration according to mathematical models, for which all of the times that it puts in doubt a knowledge universally accepted by the academic world it is necessary to present the SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE. Always trust in who that testing has already metabolized, shared and discussed with the scientific community and not with the community of graduates on Google. The national Institute of Health has published the 14th of July, a fact-checking where he explains what is true and what is false regarding vaccinations. Here is the text: it Is false that: vaccines can weaken the immune system and lead to the appearance of autoimmune diseases: our ability to respond to antigens develops even before birth and the immune system of a newborn is capable of responding every day to thousands of antigens, many more of those contained in the vaccines. our ability to respond to antigens develops even before birth and the immune system of a newborn is capable of responding every day to thousands of antigens, many more of those contained in the vaccines.

One of them is Czech republic. ""If you fail in all communities to achieve a sufficiently large extent of immunization and keep it off, both kids and adults will suffer needlessly and some tragically die,"" commented the head of the European Regional Verification Commission for Measles and Rubella Elimination, Gunter Pfaff. The world health organization reported that in the first six months of this year was in 48 european countries reported 89 994 cases of measles, which in comparison with the same period in the year 2018 corresponds to more than two-fold increase. In the Czech republic was in the year 2017 recorded 142 cases and last year's 207 cases.

More than double if we compare with the figures for the same period in 2018 (44 175). Measles sign so well back in Europe and, in particular, in 4 countries including the United Kingdom, where it was considered to be eliminated. WHO called, therefore, to intensify the vaccination. ""The resumption of the transmission of measles is a serious problem. If we are unable to establish and maintain high vaccination coverage in every community, children and adults will experience unnecessary pain and suffering, and some will be doomed to a tragic death"", stresses his side Günter Pfaff, the president of the regional Commission of verification of elimination of measles and rubella. In fact, measles can have life-threatening consequences and the complications are more severe before the age of 1 year and in adults, "" explains professor Stéphane Gayet, md, infectiologist contacted by Medisite (CHU de Strasbourg). How to spread measles ? Viral and very contagious, measles is potentially serious. It can affect children, adolescents, and adults. This pathology occurs by a respiratory virus which is spread by the aerosol spray emitted during coughing and sneezing. A person with measles can infect up to 15 to 20 others ! This explains the rapid spread of the epidemic. There is unfortunately no curative treatment for measles, but it can be prevented by a vaccine. The WHO estimates that over 20 million the number of prevented deaths in the world between 2000 and 2016, thanks to the vaccination. Measles : complications in adults In adult patients with measles (after 20 years), the complications can be very severe. ""The most frequent complication is the acute pneumonia, which often requires hospitalization and, sometimes, a stay in intensive care. In rare cases, it can lead to the death of the patient,"" says professor Stéphane Gayet. It is a respiratory infection of the lung tissue. It can reach a party or one of the lungs. ""Then, there are the acute hepatitis [liver infection, editor's note], whose evolution is generally more favourable,"" says infectious diseases physician. Finally, the specialist evokes encephalitis, acute post-eruptive. This complication of the measles and leaves serious sequelae such as an intellectual disability. ""It occurs in a case of measles on 1000 and especially before a year and after 20 years, continues the Pr Gayet. There are 30% of the patients with sequelae, and 10 % who succumb to it"". Encephalitis said inclusion is another type of encephalitis measles. ""It manifests itself mainly in patients with measles who are immunocompromised (weakened by HIV, cancer, renal insufficiency, or deficiency, and congenital). It occurs between one and six months after the measles,"" says the expert. He finally mentions subacute sclerosing panencephalitis, which is, however, very rare (1 case of measles on 1 00 000). ""It is exceptional for its very late, namely 4 to 10 years after measles), and his character constantly mortal. It causes disorders of behavior, and paralysis"", adds the Pr Gayet.",87,"france"

Those affected subsequently to the measles, the researchers took, after the healing again of the blood samples. Then you compared two samples, the B-cells of the white blood cell series. Two effects were: on the one Hand, the number of so-called naive B-cells after infection was significantly lower than before, and it remained for a long time after the symptoms have disappeared. On the other hand, so-called memory B cells were significantly reduced. Animal: Vaccinated ferrets were after measles again infizierbar The measles virus had deleted parts of the immune memory of the children. These were now resistant to measles. They were suddenly vulnerable to other pathogens, including bacteria, viruses, or fungi that had fought against her body earlier. To check your results, tested the researchers the effect on ferrets.

"20211","The immunity of a group against its own reason for existing, which protects the vaccinated and non-vaccinated, they no longer exist in the Uk, due to a decrease in the number of people that are immune to the disease for the past 14 years. The data are from the Survey of Infection in the National (NSI), 2015-2016, was developed by the National Institute of Health Dr. Ricardo Jorge (INSA), which was attended by 4.866 people, and that it has to update to the latest survey, relating to 2001-2002. In the latest survey, the prevalence of hiv for the virus of measles was of 95.2% out of it, but from the current point to 94.2% for individuals immune to the disease. “This is a value that is less than 95%, the proportion of hiv-infected individuals [in contact with the infectious agent] is required to cause an immunity in respect of the group', which is a side effect of the vaccination is that it protects the vaccinated, but also those who did not receive the vaccine, as it reduces the movement of the agent and the transmission of the infection. The proportion of immune, is it not the same in all the age groups. The document states that “the immunity of the group, it was found overall for both male and female children between the ages of two and nine years old, and in adults over the age of 44 years, which corresponds to the subjects who received VASPR [combined vaccine against measles, mumps epidemic, and the disease], and those who have developed natural immunity”. In the age groups of between two and four years and five to nine years, and the immunity of the group, it is not uniform by region, and sex, “and is less than 95% in some groups, male or female, in the Central and the Autonomous Region of the Azores”. The protection is lower in persons aged 15 to 29 years of age (90%), reaching 88,2% of those between the ages of 15 and 19 years old, and 77,9% for the range of between 20 and 29 years of age. According to the authors, “the proportion of susceptible individuals in these age groups may be due to the fact that they have been vaccinated with different strains of vaccine, or by a decline in antibodies over time, which can occur after vaccination. The proportion of hiv-infected individuals is close to 100% (99,6%) in the group of those born before the 1970s, and in the case of individuals who have developed natural immunity after being infected with a viral agent”. “The proportion of hiv-positive individuals was greater than 90% but less than 95% in the cohort of those born in and after 1996, and who were born between 1970 and 1977,” he says in the report of the investigation. The research points to a prevalence of antibodies to measles – at the national level, by gender and by region, with percentages lower than those obtained in the survey, 2001-2002. This difference was most marked in the age group between the ages of 15 and 44 years in which there was “an increase in the number of susceptible, with no immunity of the group.” In addition to the measles, and the ISN't 2015-2016 evaluated for other organisms, including the viruses of poliomyelitis (type 1 and type 3, rubella, mumps epidemic hepatitis A and hepatitis b, The bacteria analyzed were for ‘bordetella pertussis’ (whooping cough)), ‘clostridium tetani’ (tetanus), ‘corynebacterium diphtheriae’ (diphtheria and haemophilus influenzae type b (which causes diseases such as meningitis or pneumonia). In regard to whooping cough, the authors state that “the evidence for the circulation of this bacterium in adults, it reinforces the importance of vaccinating against the whooping cough, for some groups of the population, in order to prevent the spread of bacteria to sites where the risk of hiv infection resulted in severe disease”. For tetanus, the proportion of individuals with a level of antibodies that guard was from 98.4%, higher than the previous surveys, the evidence on the impact of vaccination under the National Program of Vaccination (PNV)”. If you were between 10 and 54 years of age, the proportion of subjects protected against tetanus was 100% from the age of 55 years, this proportion was reduced to 96,4%. In children between the ages of two and nine years old, he came down to the level of antibodies is protective in relation to that ISN 2001-2002. “In spite of all of the children between the ages of two and nine years old, were included in this study, we have antibodies against the toxin of tetanus (lockjaw), and seven per cent of children between the ages of two and four years old, and only 2.6% of all children between the ages of five and nine years old had concentrations below the value considered to be protective,” reads the document. According to the authors, “these findings suggest that these children have been vaccinated. However, the vaccination did not induce the development of antibodies to the level that gives protection to her.” About the diphtheria, the survey found that the proportion of individuals with a level of antibodies that guard is superior to the one observed in the NSI 2001-2002, in all the age groups. “This difference is more evident after the age of 15, which appears to reflect the introduction of the PNV in 2000, and the combined vaccine against diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, in immunisation booster at 10 years of age, confirming the benefit of his introduction. The document states that “the proportion of children with a level of antibodies that guard against invasive disease with ‘haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) is above 86% up to the age of nine years old.” The largest proportion was observed in the age group of two to four years of age (88,5%), the group most vulnerable to the disease, and the lowest percentage is observed between 10 and 14 years of age (75,9%)”. In regards to the disease, the proportion of individuals with a level of antibodies that shield has been up to over 90% in all age groups, with the exception of young people between the ages of 15 and 19 years of age. In this age group must, in the opinion of the author, to be monitored and studied further “clarify the causes of what is observed, so as to ensure immunity in all age groups and for the successful elimination of the disease.",87,"portugal"

In a follow-up to the number of suspected cases of measles, which targets various healthcare professionals in the outbreak response, the president of the Portuguese Association of Hospital Administrators (APAH) has argued for a broad consensus with the orders, and the trade unions of health care professionals to campaign for the fulfilment of the National Programme on Immunization. Alexander Lawrence admitted, however, that, if it doesn't work, the hospitals have to take any further action. We need to know how to feed the problem without getting into the freedom of each one, and then get the coverage. If there is to be a success, you have to think of another kind of action, you can go to the definition of the requirements for the practice of the profession,” he said in a statement to Lusa, the president of APAH.

Hence, it reinforces the importance of each of the other groups to be vaccinated so that they do not catch or transmit the disease. According to the data available in the fall of 2017, more than 87% of the people who contracted measles were not vaccinated. The president admits that the vaccination might be mandatory for health-care providers, The president of the Doctors, he admits that it will be mandatory for all professionals who work in health care settings to be vaccinated, but notes with regret that the Ministry has not moved to a nation-wide campaign of vaccination. In a statement to Lusa news agency, and Miguel Guimaraes said, still going today in the afternoon a visit to the Hospital de Santo António, on the site, which has a labour majority of those suspected of being infected with measles in the outbreak, the well-known on this week in the northern part of the country. However, we do not know the immunization status of the infected. The president recognizes that it is complex to defend the mandatory nature of the vaccination of the citizens, and that it may not be the most effective, but it is understood that, in certain areas, such as health facilities or schools, there may need to be mandatory for professionals to report the vaccine to verify the immunization status. They have to be given to the indications to be made in a wide-ranging campaign in health care facilities. Also, in order for the doctors of medicine, of the work called for all health care professionals to query, and the first thing they see is the background of the shot. And then you consider the person to be vaccinated to work in a health care facility,” said Michael City. The president deplores the fact that, since the outbreak of last year, the Ministry has made progress with a “real campaign” for the vaccination, generalized to the entire population. “Don't arrive more than a tv,” he said. The representative of the doctors, considers that “vaccination is the most important measure of the health of the public,” and claims to be very concerned about this outbreak,” and recalls that the Uk has come to be regarded as a zone that is free from measles. Miguel Guimaraes, is not to have precise information as to the immunization status of health care professionals who may be infected, but, when questioned by Lusa, said he did not have an indication of no pediatrician in the circumstances of the suspects. The nurses are refusing the vaccination mandatory as a condition of exercise of the profession The Order of Nurses to refuse to admit to any of the entry requirements into the profession, who pass through the scheme to the vaccine, but said to be available for campaigns, expanded immunization, and to discuss the investment in primary health care. If you want to go on with the discussion about vaccination and all are open to discussion, it is now a requirement to work with people who are being forced to, and only to a business group, we are not at our disposal,” said the bastonária of the Order of Nurses. Questioned by Lusa, Ana Rita Cavaco said, “The command is not available in order to set a requirement for entry into the profession, such as the immunization status, in the same way that the law does not prescribe that people should be forced to be vaccinated”. Ana Rita Cavaco, who was speaking to Lusa news agency in connection with the outbreak of measles was identified in the northern part of the country, with just 21 cases have been confirmed, among them the 19-health care professionals, argued that the debate should focus “on the exit from the country at the primary health care services, and not “found guilty”. There seems to be an attempt to pin the blame for the outbreak of measles, health workers, and so I shall. So why are health care professionals who had had two doses of the vaccine,” he said. The charge is in favour of the disease considered to be eliminated remain eliminated: “if the nurses are in a position to get the job done”. If you want to discuss the vaccination and then you have to have extended hours in the health centres. You can't have hours of vaccination, such as those that are, in some cases, it is only on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, due to a lack of nurses,” she said. Ana Rita Cavaco had not yet “contrassenso” in the fact that the vaccination will not be mandatory, but in order to receive the minimum income, people have to sign a contract that says that the children must have the immunization status up-to-date.",87,"portugal"

The total number is already higher than 2017, when there were 267 confirmed cases in England.  In 2016, there were 531 confirmed cases.  Dr Mary Ramsay, head of immunisation at PHE, said: “The measles outbreaks we are currently seeing in England are linked to ongoing large outbreaks in Europe.  “The majority of cases we are seeing are in teenagers and young adults who missed out on their MMR vaccine when they were children.”  There are currently large outbreaks in Romania and Italy and those travelling to these countries should check health advice beforehand.  Dr Ramsay said: “Anyone who missed out on their MMR vaccine in the past or are unsure if they had two doses should contact their GP practice to catch up.  “This serves as an important reminder for parents to take up the offer of MMR vaccination for their children at one year of age and as a pre-school booster at three years and four months of age.  “We’d also encourage people to ensure they are up to date with their MMR vaccine before travelling to countries with ongoing measles outbreaks.”  Of the laboratory confirmed cases, 164 were in London, 86 in the South East, 78 in the West Midlands, 42 in the South West and 37 in West Yorkshire.  At the end of March, PHE said there had been 168 laboratory confirmed cases of measles to date.  The World Health Organisation declared the UK had eliminated measles for the first time last year.

"2524","After a steep decline for over fifteen years thanks to the widespread use of a vaccine that is inexpensive and effective, the measles is experiencing a resurgence in the world. Officially eradicated twenty years in the United States, she experienced a new outbreak. Six outbreaks have been recorded in the country, and it is the liberal State of Washington who is most affected. Concerned, distrust is generalized with respect to the vaccines which resulted in the decrease of the immunization. The families, who can easily get waivers to escape the obligation to vaccinate their children in school, are susceptible to the propaganda movements against the vaccines, who will share many information that is inaccurate. Story. A disease that we thought was forgotten has made his return last January in the american press : the measles. The epicentre of the epidemic is located to the south of the State of Washington, around the small city of Vancouver, situated on the border with Oregon. Alan Melnick, the director of the public health of Clark county, is on the bridge for nearly three months to try to limit the spread of the disease. The doctor joked, showing his tie and colorful motifs inspired by the Ebola virus, but it displays a mine concerned. ""Seventy-two cases have been officially identified in the State, but there are probably a lot of others, and the virus has not said its last word,"" he warns. In January, the vaccination rate in the county, where the vast majority of cases have been reported, was just below 80%, against a national average to 92%. According to experts, given the highly infectious virus, it is necessary to achieve the 95% to ensure the immunization of a community. ""The measles virus is extremely contagious, it can remain suspended in the air for two hours,"" says the doctor, "" in some schools, only half of the students were vaccinated. The arrival of the virus in these institutions is tantamount to throwing a match into a can of gasoline "". Alan Melnick fulminates against the "" antivax "", the members of the movement against vaccination that spread alarming rumors and false information on social networks. ""They say that measles is a rite of passage, that it is the only way to get immunity to the final and have had helps to avoid certain cancers. It is no matter what ! "" growls the doctor. Measles is actually a dangerous illness that can lead to serious complications : it kills in two to three cases per thousand. Before vaccination became the norm in the United States in the sixties, four to five hundred people died each year in the country because of the measles. Four thousand cases degenerate into encephalitis, an inflammation of the brain, which can lead to permanent disabilities, including deafness. The arrival of the vaccine in 1963 has changed the situation, and in 2000, the vaccination rate is sufficient to guarantee the immunity of the country, the authorities had announced the eradication of the disease. Dr. Alan Melnick RFI/Anne Corpet ""They won't let logic replace fear"" At the medical center of the peace, in the middle of the fir trees in the outskirts of Vancouver, dr. Tim Schoonmaker must make efforts to convince his patients to get vaccinated. It plays on the humor, and gets decked out in a mask and sterile and small dots of red pasted on his forehead. ""I have worked in many States and I have never seen this,"" says the doctor, "" in 30 to 40% of cases, I have to scramble to try to persuade parents to vaccinate their children. People sometimes have the head of the false information being read on the internet : they believe in it and it is very hard to make them change their opinion "". Recently, one patient has even ensured that the government was placing micro-transmitters in each vaccine to be able to monitor all movements of u.s. citizens. The doctor replied that he understood finally why the porticos of security sounded to each of its passages to the airport, got a laugh out of his patient, who has come to accept the injection. But most of the time, the parents suggest a link between the MMR vaccine ( measles, mumps, rubella ) and autism, and remain rooted in their refusal. ""Despite all the studies that have been done to disprove this rumor, the people there still believe"" laments Tim Schoonmaker, "" they do not leave the logic to replace the fear. Dr. Tim Shoonmaker RFI/Anne Corpet rumor about the autism has been launched twenty years ago with the publication of an article suggesting a link with the MMR vaccine (measles, mumps, rubella) in The Lancet, a scientific journal has a good reputation. The author, Andrew Wakefield, a british physician, had been paid by lawyers to make formal complaints against the English government on the subject of vaccines. The study has since been judged to be fraudulent, the journal has disowned the article, Andrew Wakefield no longer has the right to exercise the medicine. Since then, many other scientific studies have disproven any link between the vaccine and autism. But the rumor has persisted, and has even been relayed to the United States by a candidate for the presidency in 2015, Donald Trump, during a televised debate. ""The first measles vaccine is administered around the age of twelve or fifteen months. It is also at this age that are diagnosed with certain disabilities, including autistic disorder, ""says Alan Melnick, director of public health county of Clark,' because of this association in time people draw conclusions even if there is no link of cause and effect "". Two bills to increase the vaccination rate In the State of Washington, it is easy to escape to the vaccines required for entering school. The exemptions may be obtained for religious reasons, medical, or personal. The last option is the most popular by parents hostile to the vaccination of their children. They just need to sign a form by a physician who attests to having had a discussion with them to warn them of the risks that they face. Is Olympia the capital, the parliamentarians are trying to amend the law in order to increase the immunization rates of the population. A text is to study the senate, which prohibits the personal exemption for all vaccines. Another has already been adopted by the chamber, carried by republican representative Paul Harris, elected to the county Clark, relates only to the measles vaccine. ""My district is faced with the epidemic, therefore, it is urgent for my county that the text be voted on. And also for the State. People must be vaccinated ""says the elected official who says :"" Washington is not an isolated case. Out of the seventeen States that still have this personal exemption, ten are in the process of vote out similar texts "". The Capitol building in Olympia RFI/Anne Corpet, Beneath the high dome of the capitol building in Olympia, Matt Shea, a representative of the extreme right wing of the republican party, a supporter of conspiracy theories, speaks to a school group came to visit the Parliament. This elected has publicly expressed with the ""antivax"" and we had an appointment with him, but his secretary cancelled the meeting at the last moment. Other representatives, all republicans and most moderates, voted against the draft law that restricts the possibilities to escape the vaccine. All have been contacted, but none wanted to comment : the subject is a touchy one. On its internet page, Jim Walsh, elected to the house of the State, has nonetheless published a video where he develops his arguments. He claims to have vaccinated his five children, but believes that parents should be able to keep their free will. ""We need to trust parents, families, and give them any latitude in how to raise their children,"" says the elected, filmed in his office, after having deplored "" a willingness to do that, alas, will limit the choices of the citizens."" ""It is so simple to understand the importance of immunization of the community"" response to Paul Harris, "" the babies of less than one year, patients undergoing chemotherapy cannot be vaccinated. Should we expose them to the risk of the disease ? "". The elected county Clark recalls that, in entering several times, the justice has already dealt with. ""The supreme court has held : the rights of the community take precedence over those of the individual"" insists the republican representative. Questioned on the attitude of parliamentarians of his party who voted against his text, he sidesteps : ""It is complicated, they say they defend freedom, but I know that in my caucus, all of the elect are vaccinated "". >Listen to also: Epidemic of measles in the United States: the fear of vaccines leads to the return of a disease that disappeared and The mobilization of the ""antivax"" Bernadette Pajer has campaigned against vaccinations since her son has developed severe food allergies, which she attributes to the injections he received when he was small.

"2511","Greece, United Kingdom, Albania, And The Czech Republic. Here is the list of the four European countries in which measles resurfaced while she was hitherto considered to have been eradicated. This was deplored by the world health Organization (WHO) on Thursday 29 August, making state 89 994 cases of measles in 48 european countries in the first half of 2019, compared to only 44 175 for the first half of 2018. It is even more than the total of cases recorded for the year 2018 in Europe (84 462). If in 33 european countries, the measles has disappeared completely, it has made its return within the four countries which had eliminated. For the WHO, the elimination status corresponds to the absence of continuous transmission for 12 months. Eleven European countries, including France, are “stuck” in the measles, with a “transmission still epidemic.” The Hexagon lives, however, an epidemic-month high as last year, with 2 381 reported cases in the period from 1 January to 21 August, against 2 671 over the same period in 2018, according to figures from Public Health France. Among the 2 381 cases identified, the organization's account 694 (29%) hospitalized (of which 31 in the intensive), 167 cases (7%) complicated pneumonia, 3 cases of encephalitis, including 2 deaths (encephalitis, subacute to inclusions of two young adults, immunocompromised). The organization ensures, however, that the peak of the epidemic is past, and that the number of cases weekly decreases. Public health France indicates that between 1 January and 21 August 2019, 88% of the cases have occurred in patients with non-or poorly vaccinated (out of a total of 1676 cases, aged more than one year and born since 1980, and for which the vaccination status was known).

Of course, with 2 269 cases in 2018, France comes far behind Ukraine and its 30 338 cases, but the local epidemics remain recurrent in us, because measles is one of the most contagious diseases - a patient can infect 15 to 20 people - and a million of French are ""susceptible"" to the disease because they have not been vaccinated or that they have not received a dose of vaccine and that they have not been in contact with the virus. 91 % of cases in patients not vaccinated This is the case of many French who were born after the 1980s. Little or no vaccinated - the vaccine has been recommended since 1983 - they have not encountered the disease in their childhood because the previous generation had had a child and was immune to it. They are 8 % to be ""receptive"" as against 5% in the general population. These young adults are often the first victims of the virus, as illustrated by the epidemic of Val Thorens. Begun on 22 January, it had received 48 people in 25 February, mainly adults seasonal, but also five of their children attending the same nursery. While the beginning of the expansion of the epidemic has been observed in the field of the 3 Valleys (Courchevel, Meribel, les Menuires), this epidemic is also likely to be exported to other regions and abroad because of the high tourist traffic of these stations. Tourists, scottish, belgian and Danish have already fallen ill on their return home. Other outbreaks are rampant in France : in a camp of travelling people in Haute-Garonne, Mayotte and Réunion. 91 % of the cases occurred in patients non-or improperly vaccinated, and 30 % have required hospitalization, including four cases in the icu.

Cases in persons over 15 years of age are generally more severe than in children and lead to a hospital stay once you are on 2. The microbes strike groups measles is an infectious disease of viral origin, which gives a rash suggestive only in a second phase of the disease and is very contagious. The infection is caused by a ""paramyxovirus"". It is transmitted mainly by the breath, for example when a sick person who is contagious coughs, he sends in the air of micro-droplets of saliva infected by the virus. It is also possible to get measles after contact with a surface contaminated by nasal secretions and sputum. To spread, virus-like, therefore, the promiscuity, groups, meetings. What could be more favourable than that of a campus student ? And it is one of the university campus of Bordeaux that is part of the current epidemic. The phase of infectiousness of the patient starts on the eve of the appearance of the first signs of non-specific illness (before the rash on the skin) and extends up to 5 days after the beginning of the appearance of pimples on the skin. Thus, a person who is infected, according to the specialists, infecting 15 to 20 others. Contagious for 4 to 5 days before the rash signs of measles are typical and follows a specific timeline in relation to the development of the virus in the body. The ""incubation period"" of the virus of measles is 10 to 12 days during which no sign appears. It is a mute period during which the virus multiplies, but the patient is contagious the day before the declaration of the signs of the disease. The first signs occur during the "" phase of invasion "". It lasts 3 to 4 days with fatigue, fever up to 38°5-40° c, a dry cough, red eyes and a runny nose. Children may often complain of a tummy ache. In the mouth, we find small white dots on the mucous membrane of the cheeks, "" it is the sign of Köplik "". The distinctive rash happens in a brutal way at the 15th day after the contagion, that is, "" the exanthema morbiliforme "". It begins behind the ears and down quickly on the face and trunk and then on the whole body. The buttons are pink patches swollen irregular, "" the maculo-papules "", which are separated by intervals of healthy skin. They do not itch and disappear in 5 to 6 days. Only protection : the vaccination there is no specific antiviral treatment for the measles virus. The antibiotic is only used in case of superinfection of the lungs with a bacterium. The only way to avoid getting measles is to get vaccinated. Very effective, the vaccine is only contraindicated in the allergic to egg white, in the immunocompromised, and pregnancy. Traditionally, the regimen consists of the injection of a dose of MMR vaccine (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) at 12 months and then a second injection between 16 and 18 months. For people who have never been vaccinated against measles, catch-up is possible. It consists of the injection of two doses of vaccine at least one month apart. In the event of an outbreak, it is possible to receive the vaccine up to 72 hours after contact with a person suffering from measles to prevent the occurrence of the disease (catch-up vaccination). A failure of the immunization policy in France In 1980, before widespread vaccination, there were 600, 000 cases of measles in France. Situation is very much improved after the introduction of vaccination. However, vaccination is much relaxed in France. The current outbreak shows that France is still endemic situation vis-a-vis the measles, and that it is not immune to a new outbreak of magnitude as the card of the infections of 2017 makes it appear that the diagnostics are divided in rather homogeneous over the territory. The scenario of an epidemic is all the more credible that the immunization coverage is too low currently. Only 79 % of babies of 2 years old are vaccinated. However, with a virus of the level of contagiousness of the ""paramyxovirus"" of measles, it would be necessary to achieve 95 % coverage of the whole population in order to prevent any movement of the virus in France. Vaccination coverage sought in Europe, The France is far from being isolated in the face of this resurgence of measles. Our neighbours italians, belgians and germans have been faced with a sudden increase in cases. Further to the east, Romania must also combat an outbreak that is very active. The countries of northern Europe, which have strengthened the immunization, such as the netherlands, are free from this infection. In Europe, a plan for measles elimination was set in place between 2005 and 2010. We are talking about elimination when no outbreak – however small - does not take place for a year or more. It is based on vaccination, where the logic of the vaccination requirement in France from 2018. Measles is not a benign disease During the epidemic of 2011 in France, more than 15,000 people have been infected and 10 deaths had been identified. Since 2008, more than 23 000 cases of measles were reported in France and more than 1000 cases of measles have led to complications and sequelae. Measles may be complicated, especially in infants or in persons with fragile, and lead to a hospitalization. It is first of all a pneumonia related with the virus and then superinfected with bacteria. It is a serious infection of the lung that can lead the patient in the icu. Then, it is a risk of viral infection of the brain (""encephalitis"") with neurologic sequelae, and a risk of blindness. These complications can lead to death, and give of pulmonary sequelae and neurological life.",86,"france"

"5175","CONCERNS HAVE BEEN raised about the possibility of Ireland losing its measles-free status given the recent spike in cases here.  The United Kingdom has lost its measles-free status and, following a drop in vaccine uptake rates, there are fears Ireland could end up in the same position.  Three years after eliminating the disease, the UK has been stripped of its measles-free status by the World Health Organization.  The WHO defines measles elimination as the absence of the illness circulating, high vaccine coverage, and a robust process to identify cases.  In the first quarter of 2019, there were 231 confirmed cases of measles in England and Wales. There were 991 confirmed cases last year, a jump from 284 cases in 2017. Most cases are linked to travel in Europe, where many countries have experienced measles outbreaks.  Ireland has also seen an increase in cases in recent years. The number of cases here tripled from 25 in 2017 to 77 in 2018.  There have been 56 reported cases to date in 2019 – 33 of which have been confirmed.  Source: HPSC  Most cases in Ireland to date this year were among children, however there were 17 cases among people aged 20-44. Thirty-one cases involved males and 25 cases related to females.  Source: HPSC  Source: HPSC  There were 29 reported cases in Northern Ireland in 2018, none of which were confirmed. There have been no confirmed cases in the North to date in 2019.  Measles is a highly infectious illness and spreads very easily, often via coughing or sneezing. Symptoms include a high fever, cough, runny nose and rash (more on that below).  ‘Very concerned’  Dr Kevin Kelleher, Assistant National Director of the HSE’s Health Protection section, said Ireland’s measles-free status is at risk.  “We’re very concerned about what’s happening, it’s a significant problem,” Kelleher said, noting the impact travel has on the disease spreading.  We travel a lot, there are constantly Irish people going to Europe on holiday, and people from France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Bulgaria coming to Ireland … It’s very easy for [measles] to come here unfortunately – it’s a big threat.  Measles is now considered to be endemic in a number of countries including France, Bulgaria, Italy and Poland.  Kelleher noted that while there has been an increase in cases in Ireland, it is not considered endemic as “we’re able to show that all cases of measles have either come into Ireland from outside or we can show that what we’ve done is stop them from being transmitted,” adding: “The UK can’t show it is stopping transmission.”  Vaccine rates slipping  All children are entitled to, and advised to, get the MMR vaccine at the age of 12 months. They are supposed to get a second dose when four or five (in junior infants). Adults who are not sure if they received the vaccine as a child are advised to contact their GP to check and discuss getting a booster if needed.  The uptake rate for the MMR vaccine in Ireland is 90.1% – below the HSE’s goal of 95%, the level needed for herd immunity.  “With a number of diseases like measles, if you can get to around 95%, enough people then are covered so it’s very difficult for the disease to spread,” Kelleher said.  He noted that some people haven’t had the vaccine for “valid medical reasons”, such as children who are receiving chemotherapy, and rely on others to be vaccinated so they and the wider population is protected.  Ireland reached an uptake rate of 92% last year but the upward trend we had been experiencing is now being eroded. The 90.1% figure relates to children who were two years old in the first quarter of 2019. Kelleher said the “slight and slow decline” in MMR uptake rates is “absolutely a concern”.  The measles vaccine was introduced in Ireland in 1984 and the MMR vaccine was introduced in 1988. Between 1948 (the earliest available records) and 1984, an average of more than 5,000 cases were reported annually.  The figure has dropped substantially in the last three decades. However, it has fluctuated in recent years. 2015 was an anomaly, for example – there were just two cases of measles – the lowest annual number reported since records began.  On the opposite end of the scale, there was a spike in 2010 – when there were 403 reported cases; up from 162 in 2009. The HSE said this increase was the result of a national measles outbreak that was first identified in August 2009 and continued into May 2010.  The MMR vaccine was also introduced in the UK in 1988. In prior decades, there were hundreds of thousands of measles cases, and many deaths, every year.  Misinformation spreading on social media  Kelleher said misinformation – in particular a long since disproven theory that erroneously links the MMR vaccine to autism – being spread online has had a negative impact on uptake rates.  “There are people out there who still spread myths about measles and autism, despite the fact it has been totally disproven. We’re making lots of efforts to try to counter all that,” he told us.  There is no evidence, absolutely no evidence (that the vaccine is harmful) … The impact of measles can be permanent and dramatic, it’s a really dreadful thing. I’m old enough to have seen people with measles,and very bad side effects – unfortunately I have seen people die, that shouldn’t happen in 2019.  “We want people to protect their children, that’s basically what we’re seeking … It’s dreadful, it’s a preventable disease, it’s totally preventable.”  A Unicef report released earlier this year noted that 98 countries around the world reported an increase in measles cases in 2018. The WHO said cases worldwide soared by nearly 50% in 2018, killing around 136,000 people. There were at least 72 measles-related deaths in Europe in 2018, up from 42 in 2017, but none in Ireland.  More people have died from measles in the Democratic Republic of the Congo than a recent Ebola outbreak, according to Médecins Sans Frontieres.  Since January, over 145,000 people have been infected with measles in the DRC and 2,758 have died, the majority of them children. More than 1,800 people have died since an Ebola outbreak began in August 2019.  The countries with the highest jumps in the number of cases reported last year were Ukraine, the Philippines and Brazil. Some people choose to not vaccinate their children for religious reasons – a growing issue in a number of countries including the US.  TheJournal.ie explored the issue in a previous episode of The Explainer podcast:  Source: The Explainer/SoundCloud  MEASLES: WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW  What are the symptoms of measles?

The Department of Health gives the following advice in relation to the MMR vaccine:  All children should get the MMR vaccine when they are aged 12 months; if any child aged over 12 months has missed this vaccine they should get it now from their GP  All children should get a second dose of MMR vaccine when they are four to five years old or in junior infants at school; if any child in senior infants or older has missed this vaccine they should get it now from their GP  Adults under 40 years who have not had measles or have not received two doses of MMR vaccine should contact their GP to get the MMR vaccine  Adults over 40 years of age may sometimes be at risk and if such adults never had measles nor a measles-containing vaccine they should consider getting the MMR vaccine from their GP  What advice does the HSE give to people who think they might have measles?",86,"ireland"

To this is added the discomfort, the pain of the head, the plus the signs of infection of the respiratory tract. In the same way as all of the diseases of childhood, measles is a viral origin. The virus that causes chicken pox is a type of RNA, closely related to the viruses of bovine animals and răpciugii the dog. It bears the name of the measles virus and it belongs to the genus Morbillivirus, the family Paramyxoviridae, of the and the virus of mumps (which causes mumps), the respiratory syncytial (the cause of most of the infections of the respiratory tract of servers), and viruses, parainfluenzae (responsible for the occurrence of the common cold).

The transmission of the indirect, ie, through the contact with various contaminated objects (toys, furniture, etc.), it is rare in the case of measles, but it is not impossible. Some good news about measles is that it has a short survival (less than 2 hours) in the air or on surfaces, as well as a sensitivity to organic solvents (cleaning solutions), heat, and uv radiation. Instead, it stands up very well to the cold (it can be preserved for years at -70 degrees C). For these reasons, the virus is more active in the colder months, and with the sun a little bit. However, it has been a year in which most of the cases of measles have been recorded in the second half of the spring (April-may). Measles is a very contagious disease come into contact with the measles virus leads almost automatically to the disease (the probability is over 95%, with some of the experts getting it to the level of 100%). This success is due in part to the 2 to 4 days, of infectiousness before the appearance of symptoms in the host, the virus spread without anyone suspecting.

Share Email this article to a friend To send a link to this page you must be logged in.  Latest health data reveals cases in the UK have leapt up this year.  But the figures also show hundreds of young children are not being taken to GPs for their measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccines.  As schools break up for the holidays, health chiefs are urging people to do all they can to ensure vaccinations are kept up to date in a bid to curb growing numbers of cases.  In the UK, 757 cases of measles have been reported so far this year.  That’s almost triple the 274 cases logged in 2017 as a whole.  What’s the situation in our area?  In Suffolk, 90% of children turning five had received the recommended two MMR jabs in the 2016-17 financial year.  That means one in 10 – an estimated 860 five-year-olds in the area – had not been vaccinated.  Approximately 1,850 children aged five in Essex had not been vaccinated against measles in that year – but 90% of youngsters had been protected by jabs.  Both counties fell below the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC)’s threshold of 95%.  Areas where fewer than 95% of the population are vaccinated are at a heightened risk of a measles outbreak, experts are warning.  What should I do if my child isn’t vaccinated?  Parents are being urged to make sure their vaccinations are up to date, by contacting their GP.  Surgery staff will often have records to refer to, and can quickly arrange for a child or young person to be added to a vaccination programme.  Chiefs at the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) are also advising teenagers who missed their jabs in the late 1990s to ensure they are up to date before travelling.  Many people in this age group missed their course of vaccinations in the late 1990s because of links made between the jab and developing autism.  These connections have since been discredited.  Why are vaccinations against measles so important?  Helen Donovan, of the Royal College of Nursing (RCN), said the threat posed by measles should not be underestimated.  She said: “Measles is extremely infectious, especially where large crowds of people gather, such as at festivals or in towns.  “Thanks to vaccination it has become increasingly rare in the UK, but recent increases in infection rates show we can’t be complacent.”  In Britain, babies are usually given the first MMR jab within a month of their first birthday.  This is part of their routine vaccination schedule, and the second is usually administered after they turn three.  Ms Donovan added: “The MMR vaccine is free. Getting immunised is quick and simple – an appointment with your practice nurse will only take a few minutes.”  What are the symptoms of measles?

The news of the death in August comes as an outbreak of the viral infection strikes south London.  Almost 90 people - mostly teenagers - have contracted the disease in the Wandsworth area since September.  Health Secretary Matt Hancock has announced that he will be publishing a new vaccination strategy in the new year to help combat the easily preventable diseases.  He said: “The science is clear. Vaccines are safe, effective and the best form of defence against a host of deadly preventable diseases, including measles.”  The outbreak in London is feared to be linked to the now-debunked Wakefield report, which linked Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR) shots to autism.  Published in 1998, this has since been proven incorrect and Andrew Wakefield, the author, was struck off.  In a report released on Friday, Public Health England revealed the death.  The quarterly report said: “In August, PHE was notified of a death from measles encephalitis in a 61-year-old man with underlying immunosuppression following exposure on a flight.”  No more information could be provided due to protect the privacy of the man.  In the same month, the UK was one of four countries to be stripped of its measles free status by the World Health Organisation - a world first.  Albania, the Czech Republic and Greece were the other nations to lose the status.  The UK was added to the list in 2017.  Vaccination rates fell in London between 2017 and 2019.  Professor Martin Marshall, vice-chairman of the Royal College of GPs, said the findings were ""disheartening"".  ""While take-up of the MMR vaccination across the UK are still high, it is not high enough, and we have actually seen a small decline in recent years,"" he said.  In England, there were 135 new measles cases between July and September this year.  Of those, 88 per cent of cases were in people who were unimmunised.  Mr Hancock added: “Every child should receive two doses of their MMR vaccination and anyone who is unsure whether they are fully covered should contact their GP.  “Our new vaccination strategy will be published in the new year, and we are working closely with GPs to deliver catch-up programmes so that every child is protected.”  More information on Measles can be found HERE.",86,"uk"

According to the National Immunization Schedule, children, adolescents, and adults born after 1970 and does not have a history of disease should be vaccinated with 2 doses of vaccine for measles. To make mandatory vaccinations of children Favour the binding of the vaccination record of the child in the school voted the president of the Hellenic Pediatric Company, Andreas Konstantopoulos, on the occasion of the outbreak of measles in Greece and other european countries. Yes, he blamed responsibilities to all ministers of Health who took the political cost to make a decision that requires parents to vaccinate children before enrolling in school.""

Nearly 1,500 cases have presented a pneumopathy serious, 34, a neurological complication, and 10 have died.Why the New-Aquitaine is the major impacted ? For ARS, the answer is simple : the vaccination coverage in New-Aquitaine is ""insufficient"". It ""varies from 70.8% to 81% when the world Health Organization (WHO) recommends a 95% coverage"". 84% of cases infected were not vaccinated at all, and others had, for the most part, received only one dose of the vaccine against two recommended.In fact, none of the French department does not provide vaccine coverage rates to 95%.

"6261","In this wave of “renewal” has been argued that the speeches from the bar prevail on the opinions of experts. Seeing what happened after the tragedy of Genoa, you can not say that the words are not to be passed to the facts. Not only the political “profession”, but also the common citizens are immediately adapted to the new course. In the Sports Bar on the Peninsula 10 million of the scrutineers of the National Football have given way to 10 million immunologhi and experts of migration flows. In the last genetic mutation occurred 10 million of civil engineers specialising in bridges and viaducts. Then I too I can to live up to, but having a heritage of scientific culture (the horror!!! that troglodyte!) I am documented. Unfortunately, not being able to keep the pace with the life forms webeti I was measles without still you can become the guru of the viaducts. Must be an effect of the burden on the scientific study that I carry on the shoulders, but before dealing with the science of construction, I can not fail to ask me questions that you have never heard in the talk show. First question: but measles is so harmless? Not so much. For example, with typhoid, smallpox, varricella, and rubella, measles, exterminated the populations of the inca, the maya and the aztec (the reduced of 70% in less than a century) and letting the Spanish Conquistadors in the subjugation of a vast territory with a handful of men. Thanks to the vaccine, the deaths have been drastically reduced. In 2013 there were around 96,000 deaths in the world due to measles, a decline compared to 545.000 deaths registered in 1990. It is estimated that in the years 1980 (i.e. before the introduction of the measles vaccine), the disease caused 2.6 million deaths a year. Maybe before de-vaccinizzare the population, it would be by the commissioning of a minimum of the study entrusted to scientists, preferably, fasting, football. Second question: is it important to study new vaccines? After all, it is true that measles is costing a few more victims, but are usually those losers of immunosuppression. That ec can give to us “healthy”? Well it's always possible a pandemic.. there have been several in history. The typhoid fever during the Peloponnesian war, 430.C. killed a quarter of the population of Athens in the space of four years. The Disease of Justinian, from 541, was the first pandemic in the note of the bubonic plague. According to byzantine historian Procopius, he died almost half of the inhabitants of Byzantium. The Black Plague, starting from 1300 , in just six years, killed a third of the total population of Europe. The Ebola Virus may be the agent of the next pandemic. For the moment, is transmitted through contact with body fluids of an infected human or primate, and for the moment, fortunately, is not transmissible by air. For the time being. Third question: but the vaccines may be effective for contrastrare a pandemic? Considering that we are an interconnected society and that the planes allow you to move from one continent to another in less than a day, it would seem impossible to be able to halt a pandemic that will spread in a few days all over the globe. But also the way to prepare a vaccine, is improved. Adopt new approaches, and integrated, using advanced mathematical models in order to find, quickly, new adjuvants, and to use optimally the existing ones, in order to make each vaccine to the greatest possible suited to its target population. The fourth and last question: in the event of a pandemic, we will be forced to pietire the giants of Big Pharma to afford to buy, at a great price, the vaccine that savera our wil fight strenuously, and that of our loved ones? Probably will be the opposite. Nobody says it, but Italy is the first producer in the pharmaceutical of the European Union. After years of pursuit, Italy has surpassed Germany with a production of 31.2 billion euros, compared to 30 of the germans. We have companies in the national capital, with enterprises that, individually, come to invest more than € 300 million per year in research and are leaders in the areas of the world. Then there are those to foreign capital, which have in many cases ancient origins in Italy with its factories and research centres. And among the enterprises with the foreign capital, the pharmaceutical is the first sector and the sum of investments and export. And then there are many spin-offs and start-ups. In my job as an evaluator I imbattutte in some of them. In general, are characterized by a charismatic leader (usually a university professor) and so many young people full of ability and enthusiasm. These are precisely the young people to be the answer that is more solid and reassuring to the rantings from the Sports Bar. *** Vincenzo Vespri is a professor of mathematics at the University of Studies of Florence, in Addition to being a university professor of Mathematics who sees with dismay the Italian universities ever go to the drift, I am also an evaluator of scientific projects and industrial buildings (both Italian and european). See new ideas, see the companies that are born, to see young entrepreneurs to realize their ideas fighting the labors of Sisyphus against the system, the paleo-bureaucratic and sclerotized, is an experience of its kind Blade Runner: ” I've seen things you people would not believe: attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion, I watched c-beams B glitter in the dark near the doors of Tannhäuser”.",85,"italy"

This coverage vaccine will allow you to keep the achievement of the objectives of the National Programme for the Elimination of Measles and of the international requirements,” he says. According to the DGS at the end of a play-off for the vaccination against measles began in the fall of 2017, continues to show good results on the beneficiaries up to the age of 18 years of age, especially in geographical areas where coverage was less than on the high side. With regard to the vaccination against infections by HPV (human papillomavirus), the study finds that, in 2018, the year in which he pointed out the top 10.Anniversary of the introduction of the vaccine in the PNV, the vaccination coverage has revealed the highest value of all time, reaching 90% for two doses, one to two years after the start of immunization, and reaching up to 94% of 14-year-old.” The past ten years, the integration of the PNV vaccine against HPV, were previously vaccinated with the whole scheme, and about 90% of the girls (for a total amount of 750 thousand euros), from 10 to 17 years of age, who are now 12th in the 27-year-old,” she points out. The data is estimated further that about 85% of pregnant women have been vaccinated against whooping cough in the last year, showing a “noticeable increase” in relation to the year 2017. With these results, it is expected that the control of pertussis in children up to the age of two months. The document provides the results achieved by the various factors such as an “increased investment in activities related to vaccination, all across the country, a greater demand for the vaccination and, as a result of outbreaks of measles and awareness-raising campaigns, carried out” and in the optimization of the logs of the levels. In the last two years, the risk of hiv infection due to measles has risen to the international level, especially in Europe, due to the presence of low-coverage vaccine, and the increased movement of people.

"25012","Babies under one year of age who travel to countries of the European Union such as France, Germany, Italy, Uk, Greece or Romania should get vaccinated against the measles due to the ""dramatic"" epidemic that are suffering from these areas and that children of that age still have not received the immunization. The measles vaccine is included in mmr -along with mumps and rubella - which is administered to babies for the first time to meet the 12 months, so that before this age children are not immunized against this contagious disease, whose complications can be serious and even fatal. The secretary's Advisory Committee on Vaccines of the Spanish Paediatrics Association (AEP), Francisco José Alvarez, has recommended that all children between 6 months and a year traveling to these countries to attend to your pediatrician to advance the administration of the vaccine. ""Now in Europe we have a epidemión of measles terrible"", which affects countries that tend to be holiday destination chosen by many Spanish families so that, ""if it is strictly necessary to travel to those places"" with children under 1 year of age and older 6 months-before you can not administer the vaccine- ""it is recommended to advance the triple viral"". Measles can be deadly, The measles is a disease infectious-contagious own childhood caused by a virus, and the sign most typical is the appearance of spots Koplik spots (of bright red colour, centred by a white dot), high fever and cough very persistent, among others. The disease can be complicated especially affecting the respiratory system with laryngitis, bronchitis, bronchopneumonia and even pneumonia (in 6% of cases), which is the complication associated with increased mortality. Other vaccines for foreign travel, measles is not the only vaccine that must take into account the parents who want to travel abroad with their children under the age of 3 years. In the case of visiting countries outside of Europe or the US, Álvarez, recommended to visit between one and two months before the trip to the pediatrician and a Center of International Vaccination, where parents can receive information about the vaccines that should be administered to minors. Thus, the hepatitis A vaccine -that is not included in the vaccination calendar in Spanish - is required for travel to all countries that are not in the Western Europe, the area of Japan and Korea, Australia and the USA, and you can put it after a year. The risk of acquiring hepatitis A is ""very high"" in certain areas if you consume contaminated food or water, he warned. To travel to those same countries is also recommended the vaccine for typhoid fever that, in this case, cannot be given until two years of age. Has remembered, also, that the malaria -or malaria - is prevalent in many areas and, to prevent it, you should take a series of medications that, in some cases it can also manage as of the two years. Álvarez has also referred to the yellow fever epidemic that suffers from Brazil and some african countries and that also can be avoided with a vaccine from 9 months of age. In the case of Asia, especially Japan and southeast asia, there is a disease called japanese encephalitis, which has also with vaccine. The secretary of the Advisory Committee of Vaccines of the AEP has warned, however, that persons under the age of 2 years old should not travel to tropical countries of South america, Asia and Africa as in these places there are many communicable diseases that do not have a vaccine to prevent its spread.",85,"spain"

The head of UNICEF in the country, Julia Rees, has warned that the rate of vaccination in the country is only 55 percent despite the fact that the vaccine is free and available in all medical facilities from the Government. ""The measles vaccine is safe and effective, and has been successfully used in the Philippines for more than 40 years,"" he said. ""I urge parents and communities to take their children to the health center to be immunized. Measles in children is deadly and can cause complications and long-term disabilities,"" he added. According to estimates of UNICEF, around 2.5 million children under 5 years of age are not vaccinated against the measles. Only in Manila, the number of patients with measles has increased to 441 from 26th January, compared to 36 in 2018. There were at least five deaths in Manila. The minister of Health, Francisco Duque, attributed the increase to the low rates of vaccination among children due to a shock caused by a vaccine against the dengue of the French firm Sanofi Pasteur, which was recognized in 2017 that the drug posed risks to children that had not been affected prior to the immunization.",85,"spain"

The health care agency public Health France announced on Wednesday the death occurred at an unspecified date. Neither the sex of these two patients, or their region has been indicated. They were ""both immunocompromised"", namely that they had a immune system too weak to permit them to receive the vaccine.

The disease had already killed in February in Poitiers, a mother of 32 years who had never been vaccinated.

""The vaccination of the population would, however, avoid this kind of drama,"" wrote on Twitter SOS Médecins Paris. She had already allowed to spend 300,000 cases per year in 1985 to 10,000 in 2000. ""It is important to remember the collective benefit of vaccination against measles. And it is essential to vaccinate the entourage of immunocompromised persons and others who cannot be vaccinated -- infants under one year and pregnant women"", told AFP a spokesman of public Health France, Vanessa Lemoine.

Epidemics of measles, the most important arise in countries where the measles vaccination coverage is low. In the western countries, the ""anti-vax"" is based on a publication from 1998 linking the measles vaccine and autism. The WHO has swept several times these criticisms and it has been established that the author of the publication, the British Andrew Wakefield, had falsified his results. The distrust may also have religious reasons, such as to New York, where the disease has been imported by travelers who are not vaccinated from Israel, says the WHO. In Europe, the figures have doubled, with nearly 90,000 reported cases this year: this figure exceeds that recorded for the whole year 2018 (84.462).

Measles is one of the most contagious diseases in the world and the deaths are most often due to complications. There is no curative treatment, but it can be prevented by two doses of a vaccine ""safe and highly effective"", according to the WHO. The specialized agency of the UN estimates that anyone over 6 months should be protected against measles before travel to an area where measles circulates.

Health officials believe the community teams credited with turning around Pakistan's campaign against polio in some of its most stubborn haunts can have a similar effect on other health problems.  Pakistan has used millions of dollars of polio donor funding to build a network of dedicated operations centres and health workers. Polio cases have fallen from 306 in 2014 to only four so far in 2018.  While Pakistan still has the polio virus circulating in the environment and has some time to go before it is declared polio free, health officials are starting to look at other potential uses of the network they have put in place.  One of the most successful parts of the anti-polio campaign has been the recruitment of tens of thousands of largely female community-based volunteers who vaccinate children in their own neighbourhoods.",84,"uk"

"5173","The Department of Public Health HSE Midlands has been notified of a confirmed outbreak of measles in Westmeath.  Four cases have been notified.  Any children affected have been advised to stay at home in order to prevent the spreading of the disease.  A spokesperson for the HSE has said that:  ""Anyone who has been exposed and is not immune to measles (either through natural infection or MMR vaccination) may develop measles up to three weeks following date of exposure. People are infectious from 4 days before rash starts until 4 days after.""  Measles is a highly infectious virus. The main features are fever, cough, red and painful eyes, and a rash. It can cause severe disease resulting in complications such as pneumonia and encephalitis and occasionally death. Although it is most common in young children, it can affect anyone at any age.  Some symptoms to look out for:  Ear infections  Severe cough  Breathing difficulties  Viral and bacterial infections  Eye infections  Runny nose  Vomiting  Diarrhoea  Stomach cramps  A rash that starts on the head and spreads down the body - consists of flat red and brown blotches that blend into each other and last for around four to seven days.  Measles starts with fever, cough, runny nose and red eyes, followed a few days later by a red rash that starts on the head and spreads downwards over the face, neck and body.  Measles can cause chest infections, fits, ear infections, swelling of the brain and brain damage. Measles is worst for children under one year of age, pregnant women, and people with poor immunity.  Measles virus is highly contagious and spreads through the air through coughing and sneezing. Make sure your child is protected with measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine. Children should get the MMR injection at 12 months of age and again at 4 to 5 years of age.  MMR Vaccine  Two doses of MMR vaccine are required to give the best protection. In Ireland, the first dose is given at 12 months by GPs and the second dose is given to Junior Infants in school by HSE vaccination teams or by a GP. Between 5% and 10% of children are not fully immune after the first dose, so the second dose of MMR helps to increase protection. Less than 1% of children remain at risk of measles after the second dose of MMR.  Young Adults and Parents  Make sure you and your children are up to date with your MMR vaccines.  Please go to your GP for MMR vaccination if:  you have not had 2 doses of MMR vaccine  you have a preschool or primary school child who never had MMR vaccine  you have a primary school child who missed out on the 2nd dose  you are not sure if your child has had 2 doses of MMR vaccine  Children under 12 months of age  MMR vaccine is recommended for children aged 6 to 11 months of age only if they are travelling to other countries or regions where measles outbreaks are reported.  NOTE: If MMR vaccine is given before 12 months of age, this dose is not counted as part of the childhood vaccination programme. MMR vaccine should be repeated at 12 months of age, at least one month after the first vaccine and with a further dose at 4 to 5 years of age.  Children under 6 months of age  The MMR vaccine is not recommended before the age of 6 months as it is not effective.  Travelling Abroad  This is the current most reported reason for the recent outbreak of measles (as of April, 2019).  Imported cases - people travelling to other countries in Europe, contracting the disease and bringing it back in to Ireland, spreading it to others who have not been vaccinated  Vaccination rates have dropped - it is never too late to get the MMR vaccine. Especially if you are travelling to a foreign country this Summer, it is extremely important that you and your children have received the vaccination as you are highly likely to come into contact with the disease.  All individuals travelling to Europe and other regions experiencing measles outbreaks or where measles cases continue to occur should ensure that they receive the MMR vaccine if needed.  Measles and pregnancy  If you are planning to get pregnant and you have not had measles, arrange with your GP to have the MMR vaccine. If you catch measles during pregnancy, it can be passed on to your baby, which can be very damaging or even fatal to your baby. Measles in pregnancy can cause miscarriage, premature labour or a baby with low birth weight. The MMR vaccination cannot be given during pregnancy.  Diagnosing Measles  Your GP will usually be able to diagnose measles from the combination of symptoms, such as the characteristic rash and the small spots inside the mouth.  A simple blood or saliva test can confirm the diagnosis and identify the rubeola virus.  Doctors have a duty to notify the local HSE Public health Department of all reported and suspected cases of measles. They will also notify the child's school if necessary.  Your child should not return to school until at least five days after the appearance of the rash.  Treating Measles  There is no specific treatment for measles. Once the rash starts, you will need to rest and treat the symptoms until your immune system fights off the virus. If there are no complications, symptoms will usually disappear within 7 to 10 days.  If your child has measles, you may find the following advice useful:  Use liquid baby paracetamol or ibuprofen to relieve fever, aches and pains. Do not give aspirin to children under the age of 16.  Closing curtains or dimming lights can help reduce light sensitivity.  Damp cotton wool can be used to clean away any crustiness around the eyes. Use one piece of cotton wool per wipe for each eye. Gently clean the eye from inner to outer lid.  Children over 12 months old may benefit from a teaspoon of lemon juice and two teaspoons of honey in a glass of warm water. Honey should not be given to babies under the age of 12 months.  Cough medicines are of little help and should not be given to children under the age of six. Placing a bowl of water in the room will make the atmosphere more humid, which can help relieve a cough.  When small children have a fever they rapidly lose water, which makes a cough worse. Children should drink as much as possible to prevent dehydration.  In severe cases of measles, particularly when there are more serious complications, hospital treatment may be required.  Complications of Measles  Complications resulting from measles are more likely to develop in certain children, for example:  children with a weakened immune system, such as those with leukaemia or AIDS  children with a poor diet  children under the age of five  Complications are also more likely to develop in adults who are over the age of 20.  Some of the common complications of measles are:  Diarrhoea  Vomiting  Eye infection (conjunctivitis)  Inflammation of the voice box (laryngitis)  Inner ear infection and inflammation (otitis media), which often causes earache, may also be a complication of measles.  Fits that are caused by a fever (febrile convulsions) are also possible complications of measles. However, the fits, although alarming, are not usually dangerous.  Less common complications of measles are:  Meningitis  Pneumonia (lung infection) , symptoms include fast, difficult breathing, chest pain and deteriorating condition  symptoms include fast, difficult breathing, chest pain and deteriorating condition Hepatitis (liver infection)  Encephalitis (inflammation of the brain), which can be fatal.

So far, 12 cases of measles have been confirmed in the county this month; an unusually high number.  The RiZE Festival, at Hylands Park, Chelmsford, runs until Saturday.  Measles is a highly infectious viral illness that can be deadly.  The MMR vaccine can prevent it, but research published 20 years ago linked it to autism.

It is a question of figures, ""the most high"" ever recorded since 2006, said a spokesman for the WHO's Christian Lindmeier, during a press briefing in Geneva. The largest number of cases was registered in the democratic Republic of the Congo, Madagascar, and Ukraine. A Magadascar, ""the number of cases has, however, decreased dramatically during the last few months"" as a result of national campaigns of emergency vaccination against measles, noted the WHO. Other widespread outbreaks are ongoing in Angola, Cameroon, Chad, Kazakhstan, Nigeria, the Philippines, South Sudan, Sudan and Thailand. The United States have recorded their highest number of measles cases in the last 25 years. Measles is one of the most contagious diseases in the world and the deaths are most often due to complications. There is no curative treatment, but it can be prevented by two doses of a vaccine ""safe and highly effective"", according to the WHO. Epidemics of measles, the most important arise in countries where the measles vaccination coverage is low. In the western countries, the ""anti-vax"" is based on a publication from 1998 linking the measles vaccine and autism. The WHO has swept several times these criticisms and it has been established that the author of the publication, the British Andrew Wakefield, had falsified his results. The distrust may also have religious reasons, such as to New York, where the disease has been imported by travelers who are not vaccinated from Israel. In the european region, the figures have doubled, with nearly 90,000 reported cases this year : this figure exceeds that recorded for the whole year 2018 (84.462).

THE VACCINATIONS ARE FREE FOR ADULTS, The general director of Ats Bergamo, Maximum Giupponi takes the opportunity to remind you that the centers for vaccination, as indicated in the section “Vaccination” on the site www.ats-bg.it offer the free vaccination to all adults. “In our province, "" explains Giupponi – the good vaccination coverage of children, which stands at around 93-94%, can ensure a reduction in cases in very young children. However, it is important to proceed with the vaccination of adolescents and young adults are not vaccinated or vaccinated with a single dose. For this reason, I invite all of you to overcome obstacles and unfounded fears, and to contact the centre closest to the house to eradicate all doubt.“ The last major epidemic was recorded in 2017 with a 4.991 cases, including 4 deaths, and a median age of 27 years. In 2018, the epidemic has continued, albeit with less intensity, with 2.526 cases and 8 deaths, and a median age of 25 years. The site Epicentre of the ISS shows in summary the data of the regions: in Lombardy in 2018, the cases were 162, with an incidence equal to 16.1 cases per 100,000 inhabitants. THE TRANSMISSION OF MEASLES The infection occurs via air. Measles, a disease caused by a virus, is very contagious, and the sick person can transmit the virus from 4 days before until 4-5 days after onset of rash (the rash). The incubation period is usually 10-12 days, but in some cases may be longer. The disease manifests itself with fever, cough, rhinitis (common cold), and conjunctivitis (reddening of the eyes). After a few days it appears the rash in the form of red spots from the face extends to the body (rash). By the disease it heals in a few days, but in some cases can lead to complications can also be severe: diarrhea, otitis (inflammation of ear), pneumonia, encephalitis (inflammation of the central nervous system). The disease may have a more severe course in children, in adults and in people who have weakened immune system. In pregnancy can cause harm to the fetus. THE PREVENTION OF MEASLES Is prevented only with vaccination. The vaccine, in addition to the measles, contains in the same vial of the vaccine against mumps and rubella (known as the vaccine MPR). Is administered routinely to children at the completion of the 1st year of life and repeated on the 6th year. For a person is not vaccinated that comes in contact with a case of measles, the vaccination is recommended because if it is made within 72 hours from contact with the sick person in the contagious phase can prevent the development of disease. If this time period has already elapsed, the vaccination is still useful to prevent the risk of contagion in the future. In the case of exposure to a case patient in the contagious phase, the vaccine MPR can be done starting from the age of 6 months. Presenting symptoms compatible with measles, it is important to contact your doctor, warning him before on the phone. In the case of access to the Emergency room it is important to immediately call your personal healthcare and make use of the face mask to avoid spreading the infection. All cases of measles must be confirmed with laboratory examinations.",82,"italy"
"6215","The increase of cases of measles in Great Britain, a real ""national emergency"" according to an alert launched by Public Health England two days ago, may in part have been caused by british nationals who were infected in Italy.

"6239","KATERYNA KON / SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRA / KKO / SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY on The 29th of August, the world health Organization (Who) has published a note entitled ""the european region is losing ground in the measles elimination"", in which are shown two disturbing figures, one for 2018 and one in 2019. Because the situation is worsening? And what is the situation in Italy? Let's see the details. Increase Countries where measles is not eradicated out of the 53 States that are part of the “european region” who mentions Who, in 2018, four of them (United Kingdom, Greece, Czech Republic and Albania) have lost the status of the Countries in which measles has been eliminated. Is considered eradicated endemic transmission of measles is not in the total absence of cases, but when there are no transmissions in the chain of the virus of measles in the Country is taken into account, for three years in a row. Two States (Switzerland and Austria) have obtained the status of the Countries in which measles has been eradicated, not having had transmissions endemic in the last 36 months. In the classification of the Who, then there are two categories intermediate: one of the States that have had transmissions endemic in the last 12 months and that of the States that they have had over the last 24 months. As you can see in the chart, in 2017, the overall situation was of 37 Countries out of 53 in which measles has been eradicated, 5 in which there are no transmissions are endemic in the last 24 months, one where you do not have occurred in the last 12 months and 10 in which are recorded broadcasts endemic. In 2018, however, the situation has changed as well: States in which the virus of measles is considered eradicated in 35, in a not cases have been recorded in the last 24 months and in one in the last 12 months. The other hand, rose in 16 of the Countries in which there have been broadcasts endemic. Increase in cases of measles in 2019, The second alarming news spread by the Who in its note of August is that ""the increase in 2018 is continued in 2019, with about 90 thousand cases reported in the first half of the year. This number is already higher than that recorded for the whole of 2018 (84.462 cases)"". Going to see the details, we see that the majority of these 90 thousand cases of the first half of 2019 are concentrated in a single State, the Ukraine (54.246, against the 53.218 of the entire 2018). Follow in the rankings, but at a great distance, Kazakhstan (8.855), Georgia (3.874), Russia (2.902) and Turkey (2.391). According to an expert of the Who, Kate O'brien, being interviewed by the Bbc, the responsibility of this deterioration in the fight against measles - a disease that can be lethal - it is above all of the misinformation on vaccines. And Italy? Italy, with 1.332 cases of endemic (and death) in the first six months of 2019, comes ninth out of the 53 States, behind - in addition to the already Been mentioned - in Kyrgyzstan, Macedonia and France. In the entire 2018 in our Country, cases of measles had been 2.686 (with nine deaths) and Italy was the fifth Country with the most cases overall, behind the Ukraine, Serbia, Israel and France. If instead of the absolute number of cases of measles we look at the incidence rate in the resident population, of course, the position of a heavily populated Country like Italy (22,47 cases per million inhabitants in the first half of 2019) improves considerably, passing from the ninth to the twenty-second place. From the card of the Who dedicated to our Country, you see how Italy is considered - in the years 2016 and 2017, and in the light of the above data probably will be again in 2018 - a country where measles is endemic. The big spike in the number of cases, as shown in the graph, has occurred in 2017, when the total for the year is arrived at 4.828 cases of endemic (with an incidence of 89,1 cases per million inhabitants, twice that 45.3/1 million relative to 2018). The effect of the decree Lorenzin June 2017, during the last parliamentary term, to cope with the emergency measles and not only that, was launched a decree-law - known with the name of the then minister of Health, Beatrice Lorenzin - that has made mandatory a series of vaccinations, the exclusion of children not vaccinated from the schools. Let's see if, in looking at vaccination coverage on measles, you can say that it has worked or not. We then compare the data relating to 2016 - childhood vaccination coverage at 24 months, the cohort in 2014 - and most recent, relating to the 2018, always refer to the vaccine coverage at 24 months, cohort 2016. The coverage of measles increased from 87,26% of the 93,22%, almost 6 percentage points more. Despite this improvement, Italy has still failed in his objective to reach the immunity of the flock for measles, established by the Who to 95%. We can therefore say that the decree Lorenzin is working, but there is still the way to go. Conclusion measles is spreading at an alarming rate in Europe. Increase the Countries in which it transmits endemically in 2018 than 2017, and increases the total number of cases of measles in 2019 than 2018. The worst situation is recorded in the Ukraine, but there are many Countries where the situation is serious. Italy, which belongs to the category of Countries where the measles is transmitted endemically, it is improving, compared to the peak in 2017. Thanks, with every probability, to the decree Lorenzin, there was a significant increase in the vaccination coverage ( 6 percentage points) but has still not been reached on the immunity of the flock, established by the Who to 95% for measles.

"70112","The co-head of the department of Internal Medicine of the Hospital Vithas on 9 October, Valencia, Rosa Benitez, has warned that the symptoms of measles can be confused with a common cold, as they tend to be fever, dry cough, sore throat or conjunctivitis. ""The symptoms of measles are confused easily with those of a common cold. The period of transmission of the virus, i.e., the time interval in which it can be spread, is set as the symptoms appear and up to four days after the onset of rash (spots on the skin),"" he explained. Also, the doctor has been informed of the possible consequences of the measles are characteristic of many viral processes such as, for example, otitis, pneumonia, infections of the nervous system ), subacute sclerosing panencephalitis), risk of mortality in pregnant women and fetal complications, among others. That said, and after that the Ministry of Health has endorsed the recommendation of the Spanish Society of Epidemiology vaccine, measles-persons between the ages of 40 and 50 years who are not confident of having received two doses or have not had the disease, the doctor has reminded us that this condition is also transmitted to the adults. ""Children are closer to each other. This physical proximity may explain the belief that it is easier to get in the childhood. But the reality is that there is information certified that the measles virus to lose its ability to spread between adults"", has apostille. Before all this, the head of pediatrics of the Hospital Vithas of Valencia and Castellón (the 9th of October, Virgen del Consuelo and Rey Don Jaime), Javier Miranda, has warned of the risk of not vaccinating the children, as it deprives them of the protection that vaccines provide and, hence, can develop diseases that can cause death or leave permanent sequelae severe. ""We are seeing an increase of cases of measles that have been confirmed in Spain 157 cases in the first five months of 2019. In all the year 2018, there were 220 confirmed cases, so that the trend is upward.

"2536","41 000. That is, the number of measles cases listed by the WHO in Europe, during the first six months of the year 2018. The international press was sounding the alarm : the disease would return a resounding – we are speaking about two times more infected than 2017, seven times more than in 2016. The feeling anti-vaccine, which is developed from the relationship, fraudulent, vaccine anti-measles with autism, by the gastroenterologist, british Andrew Wakefield in 1998, would have been compounded by the growth concomitant to a world plugged in and saturated with "" fake news "". This combination would have led to this impressive resurgence. An analysis that deserves to be questioned, because the situation is more complex than it seems. Measles, a few reminders measles, viral respiratory infection, is the most contagious of infectious diseases : a primo-infected would contaminate up to 20 individuals. Its early diagnosis is difficult. All the more that the infectious pathology occurs less often in the medical practices of the developed countries since the 1950s and 1960s. The outbreaks, however, remain legion, and the disease a major public health problem in the countries of the South, which reveals the character of globalized disease. Measles has evolved in a complex process of co-production with his vaccine, or, rather, with its vaccines – there are dozens of products and trade mark since 1963, monovalent and combined several versions of MMR/MMR (for measles, rubella and mumps). These were definitely made to bend more curves impact, while transforming the "" first disease "", the one that we caught them before any other, disease of adolescents and adults who have not had the opportunity to meet the virus in the wild. The importance of herd immunity Why so many options for vaccines ? Part of the answer lies in the fact that, to counteract a disease like the measles all at once ultra-contagious, and discrete, it is necessary to have a biological weapon to be particularly effective. To achieve herd immunity (the protection of the flock ""), a minimum of 95 % of immunized within a given community would be required – compared to 50 % in the case of a threat of influenza, for example. This rate is difficult to achieve. Indeed, it is necessary to contend not only with the efficacy of a product in ideal conditions of test – but also practical, to develop a protocol and a vaccination schedule optimal and stable over time. In this case, if the first vaccine polyvalent used from the 1970s were found to be very effective, he had to go to the obvious as early as the next decade : a single dose would not be enough to make disappear the disease. Learning the pain of the distance between vaccination (the act which is to inject the product), and immunization (the fact of being protected against a disease), in which the pharmaceutical industry and the governments were not necessarily ready... The first had sold the avoidance of the disease in an injection . The parents skeptical, which selects some of the vaccines, are not necessarily those idiots selfish attracted to any form of populism health that it is portrayed sometimes. Resensibiliser the benefits of vaccination : a strategy yet to be invented Globalisation of pathogens, decade of vaccines ordered by the WHO, the fear of devastating pandemics... The policies of preparation are both a reactivation of the goal of eradication, a hypercomptabilisation cases of infectious diseases, and specific attention to the phenomena of refusal or reluctance to vaccination, in all of their complexities. The conditions are certainly met in order to transform the ""return of measles"" in a speech intended to resensibiliser the benefits of vaccination, supported by the return to the vaccination requirement if necessary. But is this the right strategy ?",82,"france"

In the case of 20 out of 100 measles cases have complications such as lung, middle ear, or inflammation of the brain. The most dangerous complication is a special, death-leading Form of brain inflammation (SSPE): A measles virus to attack five to ten years after infection nerve cells in the brain. Studies from recent years indicate that the risk has been probably underestimated. According to recent studies one out of 600 infants who are infected in the first year of life with measles is ill, in SSPE.

Too small for vaccination, Moss argues that her daughter is still too small to have been to give her the MMR vaccine (a mixture of attenuated viruses by injection for immunization against measles, Mumps and rubella, Anm.) to administer.

"1591","The director of Patient safety has on Monday issued a letter to the country's practitioners and vagtlager to be extra vigilant in maslingesmitte in the coming time.

The popular area is currently affected by an outbreak of measles, and last week it emerged that the two danes had been infected after a stay in the area. Expect more cases to the Agency for Patient safety and the Danish State serum institute therefore expects that in the coming period may be detected more cases of measles, when the danes return home from the holidays. - Have you been sick with the measles, reminiscent of the first symptoms is usually about a cold or flu. - Because most people either have had measles or been vaccinated, it's not so often you see the measles at home, and as a doctor will therefore usually not suspected measles as the first, says Bente Moller, chief physician and head of section at the Agency for Patient safety, in a press release. Also read : Have you had measles?

The same applies to danes born between 1975 and 1986. A greater proportion of them are not vaccinated or have been infected. The agency advises that if you have the symptoms of measles and are not vaccinated or have had the disease, you must call to his doctor. One should not turn up unannounced, as measles is very contagious. You can, therefore, risking to infect others in the waiting room. However, it is important to contact your doctor as soon as possible. - It has been infected with the measles, the doctor can vaccinate for up to 72 hours after you have been infected, and there may be antibodies up to six hours after the smittetidspunktet. - Therefore, it is important that you call the doctor quickly if you suspect that you may be infected, says Bente Moller in the press release.",81,"denmark"
"2535","IN SHORT, using nuclear magnetic resonance, a team of the Institute, grenoble, france structural biology has discovered, in collaboration with researchers from lyon, a new interaction between two proteins of the measles virus. This major breakthrough opens up the prospect of a possible treatment of the infection. These results were published in Science Advances on August 22, 2018. The measles virus still cause each year the death of nearly 100, 000 people in the world. Since November 2017, the France is experiencing a new epidemic, due to a vaccination coverage less than 95 % : 2 741 cases of measles have been identified by the ministry of Solidarity and the Health and three people died. In fact, there is still no specific treatment of the disease and its complications can be life-threatening. A situation soon to be gone ? One thing is for sure, through the technique of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), researchers from the Institute, grenoble, france structural biology (IBS) and the Centre international de recherche en infectiologie (Ciri) in Lyon* were able to identify a novel interaction between two proteins of the virus. And the simple fact destabilize this interaction would fight against the multiplication of the virus in the body. Suffice to say a major step forward. The results of this work have been published** in Science Advances on August 22, 2018. Under the magnifying glass of researchers, a phosphoprotein of measles virus virions by – products of the multiplication of the virus (or viral replication) in the cell – have a long structure, external helical, protective of their genome (genetic information), called the capsid. This last result is the assembly of many copies of a nucleoprotein (protein bound to a strand of nucleic acid), and the operation is controlled by a phosphoprotein (a protein containing phosphorous). For several years, researchers have been trying to elucidate its mode of action with the idea of suppressing the function to stop the progression of the virus in the body. A daunting task as this phosphoprotein has a surprising disorder conformational. In other words, it lacks the well-defined structure. ""The first 300 amino acids [the bricks of proteins, ed.] of the phosphoprotein are in fact disordered and highly flexible,"" the researchers explain. Discovery of a new site up and running Thanks to the powerful tool of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), the team has, however, been able to show that the two ends of this domain (300 amino acids) of the phosphoprotein, there are two sites stable interaction with the nucleoprotein. Their role ? Maintain the latter in a form that facilitates its assembly. One of the sites was already known to the researchers but the new, responsible of interaction of course ultra-low involving four amino acids, remains no less essential. In fact, a modification of some of these amino acids disrupts enough of the operation of the assembly of nucleoproteins to significantly alter the replication of the virus. Potential target for new drugs against the Paramyxoviridae Then there is no doubt to the researchers, ""this website is a new target for the treatment of the infection caused by the measles virus,"" says Martin Blackledge, a researcher at the Commissariat a l'energie atomique and alternative energies (CEA) Grenoble, and lead author of the study. But not only that. Other human viruses are very dangerous for the health in fact belong to the family Paramyxoviridae in which the essential mechanism seems to be well preserved. These include the mumps virus, but also of Nipah, which has a mortality above 70 % in humans. ""All of these viruses host this type of domains of disordered and these observations open new perspectives for the development of drugs against this family of pathogens,"" concludes Martin Blackledge.

"3916","Measles with 20? Ringel rubella in an adult man? Both Jana Husemann, General practitioner and member of the Board of the physicians Association of Hamburg has experienced in recent years in the practice. ""Infectious children diseases in adults before coming back,"" she says. The Problem is that What sounds like harmless kids ' stuff, may just have been in adults, with serious consequences. They are also more likely to be affected than many people think: According to information from Susanne Glasmacher, spokeswoman for the Robert Koch Institute, came by 2017 from the reported whooping cough and measles cases, more than one-third in adults. The immune system reacts more violent Than children's diseases are all infections, the more commonly in the toddler age to occur, explains Erika Baum, President of the society for General medicine and family medicine. This includes scarlet fever, rubella, Mumps, measles, chicken pox, or whooping cough, for example. Strictly refer to the term but only diseases that leave a life-long immunity. This is not the case of scarlet fever or whooping cough is the case. While the majority of children to cope with measles, Mumps, and co. better, the disease in adults is often more complicated. ""Why children's diseases in adults usually have a more severe course, is a bit unclear,"" says Bernd Salzberger from the Board of the German society for infectiology (DGI). ""The medicine is assumed that the immune system of an adult to react much more vehemently to such an infection, because it is stronger than that of a child."" More on the topic of Severe complications If adult children get diseases, While adults with the so-called children's diseases would be mostly finished. ""You feel much sicker, and worse,"" says Salzberger. ""Chicken pox, for example, for children already uncomfortable, but from the 20. Age you don't want to have you really."" At the University hospital of Regensburg adults had already died in the ICU of chicken pox. Also glandular fever - the so-called infectious mononucleosis - in adults usually runs much heavier than in the case of children: ""If you are given the as a child in the first ten years of life, you realize hardly,"" says Salzberger. ""As a Teenager, you get sick, as an adult, it often drops out completely."" Not kids ' stuff adults should be aware of the possible complications of a child's illness, finds the tree: ""In the case of Mumps can become infected after puberty, the testicles and sterility in the lead."" And who will be infected in pregnancy with rubella, has to reckon with the severe damage to the unborn child. Children's diseases are therefore, anything other than kids ' stuff. In front of most of the childhood diseases vaccinations protect - even in adulthood. The experts urge all patients to check their vaccination status. Tree recommends the following immunizations: measles-Mumps-rubella in a three pack (even if only one component would be needed) Polio, also known as polio, chickenpox, diphtheria combined with Tetanus and whooping cough fact check the myths of the opponents MEASLES, especially people born after 1970, you should definitely check your measles vaccination status, adds Husemann. In these years many persons had been vaccinated only once or not at all. Wash hands, wash hands, wash hands, The Argument that you have to do may have little to do with children and should therefore not vaccinate, is not one for the doctors: ""Because you would have to be a hermit,"" says Salzberger. Measles, for example, are extremely contagious. For infection it are enough, for a longer period of time with a measles sick to spend in a room, such as a train journey. In the first half of 2018 have been infected in Europe, more than 41,000 children and adults with measles, according to the world health organization WHO. At least 37 died as a result of the disease. 70 percent of the Patients were not vaccinated against measles, the WHO. However, there is not against all childhood diseases, vaccination against scarlet fever, for example, no immunization is possible. The disease, caused by streptococci, shown by fever, rash, and a sore throat. Prior to such infections only protects to keep: distance and on good hand hygiene, especially when it is known that someone in the area is ill with scarlet fever.

"7608","What the discovery of America, and opponents have in common? Measles. The Virus had in the 16th century. Century, large parts of the American indigenous population exterminated. The indigenous population was in contrast to the European conquerors are immune to the Virus. But even today, many parents let their children against this highly contagious disease should be vaccinated. They call themselves opponents, debate on Internet forums with like-minded people about ""Impfprobleme"" and are not convinced of the medical Sciences. Fake information about alleged cases of complications of vaccination is to this crude theory. What sounds like another crazy Simple Story, is a real danger that should be, since the first mass vaccinations in fact no more. Global disease until 1980, 2.6 million people died annually from the Virus. That was before in many Parts of the world effective against this disease has been vaccinated. Since then, the number of fatalities decreased up to the year 2015, according to the world health organization (WHO) to 134.200. Still, those regions of the world are most affected by the disease, where vaccination rates below 50 percent, for example, in sub-Saharan Africa. In other regions of the world, the disease is already eradicated. North and South America, and Australia have seen in recent times – with a few ""imported"" cases – not a disease. The populations of the industrial countries were previously well protected. The so-called herd immunity ensured that even non-vaccinated individuals were immune to the Virus, because the disease could not spread. The prerequisite is, however, that a large part of the population has the Vaccination. In the case of measles, the threshold is at 94% – so many people need to be vaccinated so that the disease may not break out. Dangerous Virus Why is herd immunity important for all of them? Finally, the unprotected segments of the people to their fate would be to blame. This Argument is cynical. Because the group is threatened by a measles outbreak at the most, can't defend itself: It is small children who are still too young to be vaccinated. And to people who, due to a disease other problems with the immune system. While measles can be quite dangerous. You can trigger, for example, complications at birth, if a pregnant woman has been infected. According to the aid organization Doctors without borders, the viral disease is one of the five main causes of death in crisis situations. Not infrequently, the disease leads to death, because there is no effective treatment option against viral infections. Also the route of transmission of syphilis is contributing to the rapid spread of measles. The viruses pass through a droplet infection in the body. The first symptoms appear sometimes only after about two weeks: runny nose, cough, eye inflammation and rash. Even sneezing in the affected area, or air that remains for up to two hours contaminated. Measles in the EU In July, a measles outbreak in Romania caused a shock. 8,200 patients in the EU country and 32 people – mostly children – died as a result of the disease.

The data are from the united states authorities, and to demonstrate how those vaccines that are critical to the fight against a disease that threatens the lives of human beings since time immemorial. The widespread use of the vaccine allowed us to nearly eliminate measles in the united states and other developed countries, including the Uk. The problem is that in recent years conspiracy theories linking the measles vaccine to a rise in cases of autism. These stories have won over more fans, so some parents choose not to vaccinate their children. He opened the door to a return of the disease, that is, in the ninth century, and was described by the philosopher of the Persian Al-Razi as “the most frightful, that of the small-pox”. In the Uk, measles has returned this year with a total of 21 confirmed cases and another five in the research area, beginning in January. Mário Durval, a physician specializing in Public Health, says that there is a new vaccine in the country, there are about 40 years old, and the majority of the resident population are already immune, there are still parents who are doubtful about the importance of children being vaccinated. “There are parents who believe the measles vaccination can cause autism, or the immunity to, but that's just a myth.

This drastic measure responds to an attempt on the part of the authorities in the area to curb the measles outbreak that is spreading quickly among the jewish community-orthodox of this county. The measure will be in force for 30 days, during which time it has declared a state of health emergency in the area. And is that the county of Rockland is seen hit by the measles outbreak from last fall.

However, these measures proved insufficient and since then, they have confirmed 153 new cases of measles in the area. Danger of spreading The great danger that exists right now is the measles outbreak spread rapidly to other regions of the united States. In fact, measles was declared eradicated from the country two decades ago. However, it has come back from that many families have begun to choose not to vaccinate their children against this and other diseases. Since October have been posted more than 310 cases of measles throughout the united States and New York city is facing currently the worst outbreak that has lived in decades. The authorities attributed it to the rejection of the vaccines and that the virus is imported from other countries. The first case of measles in the area was of a child who had traveled to Israel. This explains why it spread so quickly among the jewish community-orthodox. In fact, in the case of the city of New York, the outbreak is highly localized in the neighborhoods of Borough Park and Williamsburg in Brooklyn, where the jewish population is orthodox is very high.

"29115","Measles has torn through Europe in one of the largest outbreaks in recent history, with more than 41,000 now infected. In the first six months of 2018, a total of 37 people have died at the hands of the normally preventable disease. The World Health Organisation (WTO) has called on countries on the continent to take immediate action as cases pile up. With 807 confirmed cases in the UK so far, the highly infectious disease has apparently made its way over from people travelling in Europe.  How do you contract measles? Measles is a highly infectious disease which can be spread via aerosol transmission. This means the spread of measles is possible via droplets in the air produced by sneezing and coughing. With serious side effects like brain swelling and blood poisoning, some people are at great risk from the disease. Normally, it progresses without harm, and symptoms do not progress, but children and immunocompromised people are in danger.  Measles outbreak Europe 2018: Can you get Measles twice?  Breathing in droplets laced with the virus is one major way to contract it but surfaces with the active virus on it will also transmit measles. After touching a surface exposed to the virus, placing your hand in the area of your mouth or nose can allow the disease into your body. At the moment, Serbia is ranked as the most dangerous for the disease, with the most infections of any European country. Once the disease has been contracted and run its course in a person, antibodies from the disease protect for years to come.  Measles symptoms can be difficult to get rid of, but are easy to treat  What are the symptoms of Measles? A measles infection can last from seven to 10 days. Symptoms include: encephalitis (infection and swelling of the brain) meningitis febrile convulsions pneumonia liver infection (hepatitis) Contracting measles a second time is unlikely but possible, much like contracting chickenpox a second time. Measles is treated with several methods, mainly in hopes to prevent discomfort as it runs its course.  There is no link between the MMR and autism, despite assertions from an erroneous source  These include drinking water, taking aspirin, staying in a dark room, using damp cotton to clean the eyes, and saying off school or work to prevent further spread. Otherwise, measles is a fully preventable disease, as the MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) vaccine is administered at a young age to protect against it. The MMR has seen less usage recently, following a scientific paper more than 20 years ago which falsely linked the vaccine to cases of autism. The NHS recommends children are fully vaccinated as a child, at one year old before attending school for the first time.  Signs and symptoms of the measles Tue, April 4, 2017 Measles - a contagious virus with the potential to cause serious illness and even death - is spreading around Europe and experts from the World Health Organisation said people who haven’t had the vaccine are at risk.

"31015","In the last few weeks, Dr Jay Begun says he and his colleagues have been in something akin to crisis mode at their small pediatrics office in Brooklyn.  As an accelerating outbreak of measles has raised alarms both inside and outside of the secluded Jewish community there, staff have been forced to take some patients on the pavement or in their cars, hoping to avoid spreading the virus that has made the Williamsburg neighbourhood the latest epicentre of a national debate on vaccines.  Where possible, nasal swabs and blood samples are taken from children – thought to have been exposed to the virus at yeshivas or during play dates in a culture that encourages big and burgeoning families – outside, just as the weather has shown signs of relenting from the lingering cold of winter.  Download the new Indpendent Premium app Sharing the full story, not just the headlines  “Over the last few weeks there has been a significant increase in the number of cases. I’m seeing many more cases. I’m getting many more calls about it,” said Dr Begun, the founder of Kindercare Pediatrics and an instructor in the Department of Pediatrics at Mount Sinai Medical Centre.  “For some reason, all of a sudden, the transmission became accelerated. It’s really gained a momentum,” he said of the outbreak of the virus, said to have been brought back from Israel in October by Orthodox Jews returning from Sukkot, the Jewish harvest festival.  New York City has seen at least 229 cases of measles just this year, accounting for nearly half of the 465 cases seen across the country, in an outbreak of a disease that American health officials declared eradicated 20 years ago. Since October, the city’s total outbreak has been 285.  That concerning situation is illustrative of a broader surge in anti-vaccine thinking in communities across the US in recent years, touching on communities of all stripes. In Texas, conservative populations have rejected vaccines, while liberals in Washington state have done the same.  Shape Created with Sketch.

At least 17 studies have shown no link between autism and the MMR vaccine, a theory originally proposed by disgraced British doctor Andrew Wakefield.  As the recent cases in Brooklyn piled up – fuelled by pamphlets warning that vaccines are made with the cells of aborted foetuses and will cause autism – in the close-knit community of Orthodox Jews in southern Williamsburg and Borough Park, the situation drew the attention of New York mayor Bill de Blasio this week, who took action by declaring a health emergency and instructing his health department to focus on making sure that the dangerous and highly contagious disease is stopped.  To tackle the problem, the city says that 20 health inspectors have been deployed to the area wearing uniform blue jackets, conducting vaccine audits of yeshivas, and working closely with physicians to make sure that residents have access to information and vaccines that could be life saving.

But the situation in Williamsburg, from the ground, appears anything but desperate.  Men and women walk along the pavements and streets as normal, and kosher markets remain open and selling products such as Idaho potatoes. Bright yellow school buses emblazoned in Yiddish still run their routes. Fathers wearing broad brimmed black hats and bekishes still wait on street corners for their toddler daughters to arrive on those same buses.  David Oberlander, the principal at the Yeshiva Kehilath Yakov where some cases had been found earlier in the outbreak, pointed out a letter he had received from the city’s health department indicating that his schools had been 97.3 per cent compliant with vaccination requirements in mid-February, but had since then raised that to 100 per cent.  Mr Oberlander said that he thinks the spike in cases is the result of big families in a tight urban environment, not necessarily indicative of a widespread disbelief and fear of vaccines. The fact that they are children, he said, shows that it is likely that parents had been putting off the vaccines until later in the children’s lives, which incidentally reduced herd immunity.  “It’s a close-knit community. Small apartments. You can have 50-60 children in a building,” he said.  Mr Oberlander said that his schools will not admit students if they have not been vaccinated, and that he suspects most cases are very young children. He suggested that it is not just his community that has seen these outbreaks, noting that they have been reported all over the country.  “It sounded like there was an ultra-Orthodox cult,” he said of the recent media coverage of the situation in Brooklyn.  Rabbi David Niederman likewise said that he does not think the individuals in his community – which numbers in the hundreds of thousands – are rejecting vaccines at a rate unseen in other areas of the country. His community cares about the health of its members and children, he said.  Instead, he said that the virus can spread faster in his community, which has built itself around religious institutions in a New York City neighbourhood that is barely more than two square miles in total.  In a city known for having residents that literally live on top of one another, the residents of south Williamsburg are particularly connected.  “It’s the nature of New York City,” Rabbi Niederman said. “But, we also have to live around our religious infrastructure.”",81,"uk"

His brothers and sisters had not corroborated the results and it was found afterwards that the doctor had tampered with these data, losing at the same time his right to exercise.

"6220","Measles is a disease esantematica very contagious. The responsible of the infection is the virus Paramyxovirus of the genus Morbillivirus). The rash, also known as rash and is caused by the measles, is very similar to those that occur by contracting the rubella or scarlet fever. However, the symptoms of the measles are quite clear. Before the advent of the vaccine, measles was a disease that is very risky, especially in young children. You think that until the ’80s there were still 1 million deaths a year because of this contagious disease. Let's see together what are the symptoms of measles, risks, and possible treatments. Measles: symptoms and infection Among the most characteristic symptoms of measles is definitely one of the skin rash-red, that, generally, the part from the face, and then spread to the rest of the body, but it manifests itself, generally, only after three to five days from the onset of illness. Initially, we will be faced with signals very similar to those of a normal flu: colds, sore throat, cough, feeling of general discomfort, fever (also very high, and can exceed 40°C), fatigue, sensitivity to light, loss of appetite, conjunctivitis, tiredness. Then, about 2 or 3 days after the onset of the first symptoms, you may notice the onset of small white spots inside the mouth, called Spots Köplik. The incubation period of measles ranges from 10 to 12 days, while the symptoms lasted, on average, for 7-10 days. It is a highly contagious disease (with an index of contagiousness, which skims a percentage equal to 97%), transmitted mostly by air: may be enough, a sneeze or a cough of an infected person, to be affected, if you are not already immune. Normally it is infected from 4 days before to 4 days after the onset of the skin rash. It is well to remember that the measles virus affects only humans, for which there is no risk of infecting or being infected by other species of animals. Can occur also to indirect transmission of measles. Drops of saliva or residuals of nasal secretions can stick to, after sneezing or coughing, on the surface of the objects, which thus become the tools of contagion. However, the particles of the infected are able to survive on objects for a few hours, then die. The risk of contracting measles as an indirect is not that high, especially if you observe regularly, the appropriate rules of hygiene, by washing always very well your hands after touching surfaces outside and not bringing it to the mouth with the fingers, but should not underestimate this eventuality. Measles: picture, How do you understand that a child is suffering from measles? Of course the best thing is to consult a pediatrician, who will evaluate the most appropriate instruments. Anyway, the first thing to do is to observe the child. An objective exam, in fact, can be very, very clear signals, starting from the rash. Search the internet for photos and pictures of children who contract measles can be useful.

Dr Pauline Paterson, Associate Professor at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, said:  “With a vaccine preventable disease, one case is one too many, and the numbers of measles cases so far this year is astounding. Measles is a highly infectious disease that can spread rapidly and lead to serious complications - a very high vaccination coverage of 95% is needed for community protection. If the coverage dips below this in certain regions, measles cases can spread and outbreaks can and are occurring.  “While most people vaccinate, some individuals do not. The reasons for non-vaccination can vary from issues of vaccine access, a lack of perceived need to vaccinate, and concerns around the safety of vaccination – in 2016 the Vaccine Confidence Project found that the European region was the most sceptical in the world on vaccine safety.  “Vaccines work. If measles is to be eliminated, we must continue to further our understanding of the underlying reasons for non-vaccination and to address them with effective evidence-based interventions.  “Firstly, we need to identify the susceptible population – who is not vaccinated? If it’s children that are not being vaccinated, then why not? Do we need to increase access? Do parents have questions or concerns that are not being addressed? Are parents aware of the need for vaccination? If it’s teenagers and young adults that were not vaccinated when younger, then a catch-up programme is needed for them. The communication around the catch up programme needs to be relevant and specific to the teenagers and young adults, highlighting the importance of vaccination and addressing their questions and concerns.”",80,"uk"

It is a very contagious condition that often affects children between 1 and 3 years, which is called the child. Is transmitted only in man. Once you contract the measles gives an immunization theoretically final, so there is ill for the entire duration of life. Measles is spread all over the world. It is one of the most frequent eruptive fevers, although it is much less common when it is in use vaccination with recall. In temperate Countries, it affects children towards the end of the winter and spring. In Italy, the disease must be notified to the health authorities. Measles has severe symptoms, mainly causes a skin rash, similar to those of measles or of scarlet fever. Lasts for between 10 and 20 days. The first symptoms are similar to those of a cold (dry cough, runny nose, conjunctivitis) with a fever that becomes more and more high. Then appear white spots inside the mouth. After 3-4 days, it appears the rash characteristic rash), composed of small dots of deep red, first behind the ears and on the face, and then over the rest of the body. The rash lasts 4 to 7 days, the rash disappears, starting from the neck. Sometimes, it remains a flaking of the skin for a few days. Complications are relatively rare, but measles is still responsible for a number between 30 and 100 deaths for every 100,000 people affected. The complications are mainly due to super-infections, bacterial: otitis media, laryngitis, diarrhea, pneumonia or encephalitis (inflammation of the brain). Occurs more often in infants, in malnourished children or in people immunocompromesse. Usually the diagnosis is clinical observation. You possibly can search for in the serum of the specific antibodies against the measles virus, after 3 or 4 days of the eruption. Epidemiological data, from 1 January-31 march 2019 Table 1 shows the number of cases of measles (possible, probable, and confirmed) for the Region and the P.

This is a person, 51-year-old and a 29. “In all cases – it is stated on the official document – the cause of death was severe respiratory failure or arrest, cardio cardiovascular. All cases were unvaccinated at the time of the infection”. We commented on the news with the doctor, Elena Azzolini, assistant physician in the Direction of the medical health of Humanitas. Cases From January 1 to August 31, 2018, have been reported in Italy 2.248 cases of measles of which 126 in the month of July and 66 in August 2018. 88.5% of the cases occurred in 7 Regions, in the head with the Sicily (1.116 cases) that reported the highest incidence (333 cases per million inhabitants).

Grillo: “The obligation of vaccine is not enough to prevent” “The epidemic of measles in the course of our Country demonstrates how to force vaccinations may be necessary, but not sufficient to the purposes of the prevention”. He said the minister of Health, Giulia Grillo at question time in the Senate. “In fact"", – stressed the minister – the increase of coverage and the obligation he has produced in the generations of the new born has not stopped the spread of the disease”. This, according to Grillo, because the elimination of measles requires the implementation of complex interventions, described in a Plan that is already available and that, however, was “deliberately forgotten” from 2011, as well as non-funded. In short, according to the government, to stop the epidemic, we need to promote vaccination among health care professionals to ensure the opportunities of contact with health services and should develop a lot in the social communication. The new measures, the intention of The Minister of Health now is to quickly update the “Plan Measles” and propose to the Government and Regions to take concrete commitments for transforming the recommendations of the Plan, the actions supported, and verifiable. The hope is that they will be provided for concrete initiatives: enhance the services to vaccine, to make operational the national registry, monitor coverage, and adverse events and adequately fund the expenditure. The opinion and actions of Humanitas “most of The cases of sicilian there take by surprise, "" commented dr. Azzolini -: this is not an emergency, but an acute problem already widely announced, in which Italy is almost a world record in terms of cases and deaths. Lombardy is among the top 5 regions that reported the most cases in Italy (the Epicenter). Until a short time ago in Humanitas was not possible to quickly verify the immune status of healthcare personnel in the absence of a mapping of a capillary of the state vaccination of our employees, or active surveillance with the execution of serological tests. Therefore, proven by the epidemic of 2017 in which we have handled 37 cases which, in their turn, have generated hundreds of exhibited both between patients and between healthcare staff, we have developed a new procedure for the active surveillance of suspected cases of measles and is scheduled for a monitoring plan aimed at identifying operators capable of contracting infection from measles and to offer vaccination to prevent the transmission hospital, in compliance with the provisions of the regional and ministerial. First we mapped the critical areas, the emergency department and the pediatric onco-hematology, then, starting from may 15, 2018 started an awareness campaign, which has extended screening to all the rest of the medical staff, in addition to personnel who during their work may come into contact with our patients, as the team beds in, the catering staff, the Cross and the Rose”. “The result, "" continued the specialist? By the activation of the surveillance plan we've mapped more than 3000 employees, of which approximately 10% were not immune. Starting from the areas most at risk, the workers likely has therefore been proposed that the vaccination anti-measles. Today they have been vaccinated 124 workers. Can we, therefore, affirm that our personal health is mapped almost 100%, and that this incredible result has made for the last suspect case of measles last August, we were able in the space of a few minutes to check the immune status of staff exposed to, and proceed within 24 hours of the administration of the vaccine for those at risk. It is a result very satisfactory, for which we thank the Laboratory Analysis and the Service of Preventive Medicine, for his great commitment and all the staff that is made available. Of course, the task does not end here, and we will continue with the surveillance for all newly-hired and training activities on the risk of infection and the biological and on the correct use of individual protection devices”.",79,"italy"

Speaking on RTÉ’s Morning Ireland, HSE public health specialist Dr Rose Fitzgerald expressed her concerns at the recent outbreak.  She said that it is likely numbers may continue to increase if people remain unvaccinated.  “We know that where we get the introduction of measles infection in a community where there’s low uptake of the MMR vaccine, we will get further cases,” Dr Fitzgerald said.  She said the disease is very infectious, and that by the time someone is diagnosed they could have passed it on already.  She said: “[The] only way to stop the outbreak is to have a very high uptake of the MMR vaccine. You need to have herd immunity, where 95% of the population are immune.”  As uptake rates range between 90% and 94%, this effect of making the whole population become immune from a 95% uptake rate is not present in this case.  Dr Fitzgerald added that adults are also at risk due to the measles outbreak.  Those born prior to 1978 tend to be immune due to natural infection with measles. Those who are under 40, who’ve not had the vaccine could become infected. It’s those adults in contact with young children who’d be most at risk.  She said that the HSE has run two clinics in Limerick already, and that another one was planned for next Wednesday.  Stay at home  Earlier this week, the HSE’S Health Protection Surveillance Centre (HPSC) had confirmed that 12 cases had been diagnosed as a result of the ongoing outbreak.  The HPSC said the best protection against measles is to be fully vaccinated with two doses of the MMR vaccine. The HSE is offering free MMR vaccine clinics in Limerick to deal with the outbreak.  The HPSC says that if you have symptoms suggestive of measles you should stay at home, not go to school or work and phone your GP and explain that you may have measles.  People who have not been fully vaccinated with MMR vaccine or have not had measles in the past are at high risk of getting measles if exposed.  The people most at risk of catching measles are those who are not fully vaccinated with two doses of MMR vaccine, such as babies younger than 12 months who are too young to be vaccinated, and those with weakened immune systems.

The contagiousness and virulence of the pathogen responsible for the disease had already been evident during the famous epidemic of 1851, which had affected the Faroe islands. However, it will be 1954 and the isolation of the virus by John Enders for identifying the viral nature of this pathogen. Quickly, nine years later, it will happen, cultivating, and replicating viral strains on cell cultures, to make them lose gradually their infectivity without loss of their immunogenicity. These cultures enable the production of live attenuated (non-infectious), an essential constituent of the first measles-containing vaccine (the Rubeovax laboratories Merck) developed by Enders and his collaborators. Between 1963 and 1989, vaccination protocols, more refined and recommendation of a double injection vaccine), will enhance the protection of populations at risk.

People travel from one end of the world to the other like never ever in the history, so the disease can spread over vast distances. Part of the population refuses for various reasons to vaccinate themselves and their children. In addition, some previously reliable vaccine after years of struggle with all sorts of viruses and bacteria lose their effectiveness. There is no threat to you, that also become ill with tuberculosis, mumps, measles or whooping cough? Tuberculosis tuberculosis is the most common lethal infectious disease in the world. It is caused by the bacteria Mycobacterium tuberculosis, or in less typical forms of TB, other species of mycobacteria. The causative agent of tuberculosis discovered by the famous Robert Koch, after which it is referred to as bacille de koch. ""The organism usually enters through the respiratory tract. Under appropriate conditions it gets into the lungs, where it reproduces, causes inflammation and then spreads to the regional lymph nodes, or even into the blood and move on,“ explains Rastislav Hungarian, head of the Institute of epidemiology and public health of the Medical faculty of the Ostrava university and also the chairman of the Coalition for the promotion of vaccination. A great overview of the illness with rash in children: How to recognize chickenpox, eczema or a fatal meningitis? The first symptoms of TB for this dangerous disease do not show. The patient suffers from fatigue, loss of appetite, weight loss program, has an increased temperature, night sweats. Disease is also accompanied by cough, at first dry, then moist. TB can show vykašlaná blood, but in previously healthy people may tuberculosis develop without symptoms or only with symptoms similar to flu. ""The risk is especially for immune-impaired and the elderly. It is primarily a disease of lower social groups and developing countries, is closely associated with malnutrition and with low levels of health care,“ said dr. Hungarian. ""For more severe forms of TB occur of delivery of the bacteria to different organs. Next to the lungs may be affected by the liver, cerebral covers or spleen. Disability of the central nervous system can cause a palsy of the nerves, dizziness, seizures, coma and even death.“ The treatment lasts quite a long time. Used a combination of at least three special drugs, the so-called antituberkulotik, which is served every day up to half a year. The problem of the last decades is however, the spreading resistance of the causative agents of TB to the most frequently used drugs. Dry or wet cough? Everyone heals differently! According to Rastislav Hungarian is the biggest risk for the spread of disease, mass migration of the population and the already mentioned resistance mikrobakterií on some medical products. For example, in 2016 was the national average prevalence of disease of 4.9 per 100 thousand inhabitants, but in Prague up to 8.3 per 100 thousand persons. Most TB doctors diagnose Ukrainians, Vietnamese, Romanians, and Slovaks. Mumps Curve with numbers of patients has long-term vlnovitý shape with peaks every few years. For example, in the years 2000 and 2001 was only about a hundred cases, however, in 2006 treated more than five thousand persons and in 2006, even almost six thousand people. ""Mumps is a highly infectious disease that is transmitted especially in places with a high concentration of people, in sports and school teams, for example, by sharing bottles, glasses, cutlery, toys. It is also possible to transfer from kissing, or his hands,“ stated Rastislav Hungarian, head of the Institute of epidemiology and public health of the Medical faculty of the Ostrava university and also the chairman of the Coalition for the promotion of vaccination. Happy end in the story of the little Matthias: I Almost died because of the mumps, now he's a nice guy it is Important not to send children with symptoms of this viral disease in the school, on the rings or on training. Problematic, however, is that the patient is infectious for several days before the onset of the first manifestations. Isolation of the sick should take nine days from the first symptoms. In the past they were mumps the typical diseases of the younger children, the introduction of vaccination in 1987 resulted in a significant decline in their incidence, and because the passage of time leads to weakening of the so-called post-vaccination immunity, the peak of their occurrence is shifted to the age of older children and adolescents. In response, the valid vaccination ordinance, which pushed the second dose of the MMR vaccine protecting against measles, mumps, and rubella by age 5 and 6 years. Previously, the second dose was applied in six to ten months after the first. A typical manifestation of the disease is fever and painful enlargement of the příušné glands, usually on both sides, approximately a third of patients only on one side. Biting and opening the mouth causes pain, protruding ear lobes. Swelling of the glands will usually disappear in a week to ten days. The most common complication in children is a viral inflammation of the meninges, which leaves permanent consequences only rarely – for example, permanent deafness. ""Neurological consequences of mumps are more common if there is inflammation of the affected brain,"" pointed out dr. Hungarian. Another possible complication is inflammation of the pancreas. Self-medication: When you can help yourself and when you need to see a doctor in General, the most common complication is inflammation of the testicles, often together with disabilities epididymis, which is manifested by swelling, pain and redness of the skin of the scrotum. It appears four to five days after swelling of the salivary glands for the deterioration of health accompanied by fever, chills, nausea to vomiting. ""This state recedes only very slowly and can lead to decreased fertility, absolute sterility is less common,"" said the Hungarian. Special treatment of mumps virus exists, the disease is treated Priessnitzovými compresses and medication potlačujícími individual problems, like pain or fever. In more severe conditions to put on corticosteroids, if the disease is accompanied by bacterial infection, I also prescribe antibiotics. Whooping cough the causative agent of the disease is bacterium Bordetella pertussis, from person to person is transmitted through the air, more specifically by droplet infection. It occurs worldwide, in both developing and developed countries. Bordetelly are collected on the surface of the respiratory tract, pomnožující and cause inflammation to necrosis. In the respiratory tract in addition, accumulates mucus, which also complains of breathing. Are you troubled cough? What herbs to try, and when they are needed the antibiotics? Before the introduction of routine immunisation in 1958 occurred tens of thousands of cases of whooping cough per year, thanks to vaccination, the incidence of this disease decreased significantly – to the lowest values in 80. years of the last century. ""From the following decade, however, we observe a rising trend. The number of cases diagnosed in the year of 2014 marked the return of tens of years, up to 60. years of the last century,“ said dr. Rastislav Hungarian. In recent years, there are reported hundreds of cases statistics, however, does not record all the cases, according to expert estimates, it is twice more. Decreasing the number of people with vaccination can situation even more worse. Its influence also has it that there's more people with less powerful immune system, and then there's the constantly growing phenomenon of travel. Whooping cough is a person can become infected even at the airport or on the plane. Initial symptoms, such as fever, runny nose, lack of appetite and coughing, are similar to other infections of the respiratory tract and only rarely lead to the suspicion of whooping cough. In the human population occur commonly and can be caused by many different agents. After 10 to 15 days are already starting to discover the typical persistent bouts of irritable cough, followed by a loud kokrhavý touch. ""At the end of a fit of coughs you may experience nausea and vomiting, and therefore is referred to as a gag. Bouts of coughing may last longer than two months, even sometimes up to a hundred days, often occur at night and are very exhausting,“ he described the symptoms the doctor a Hungarian. Foods that aggravate the virus. What to do in days of the disease rather forgive? Part of the complication arises from the mechanical strain of repeated violent fits of coughing, such as bleeding from the nose, eyes, or appear hernia and sometimes even fracture of ribs. Frequent vomiting may cause a disruption of the internal body and as a result cramps. In more severe conditions occurs lung collapse, respiratory failure and promodrávání with insufficient oxygenation of tissues and organs. ""Whooping cough is among the insidious disease, which can have a fatal course, on the part of adolescents and adults may, however, be slightly, these infections will then move between the us and unknowingly is involved in the transmission of infection. In terms of the likelihood of heavier course of disease belongs to the risk groups especially children under one year of age, pregnant women and the chronically ill, the elderly,“ said Rastislav Hungarian. Whooping cough is treated with antibiotics, the correct diagnosis is often not established in a sufficiently timely manner. A later deployment of antibiotics may no longer have the course of the disease a major effect, the bacteria actually secrete into the blood circulation of the toxin, on which antibiotics have no effect. ""Later, antibiotics to the patient any relief, decreases, however, at least its infectivity for the area. The toughest conditions require intense treatment in the ICU,“ added the Hungarian. Measles the Main cause of the return of measles is primarily a shrinking number of people with vaccination, and this throughout Europe. Yet if they hold it after a few years of vaccination coverage above 95 percent of the population, could be measles globally eradicated, and it could stop vaccination. Contagious measles is spreading rapidly the Czech republic. Threatening disease to you? ""But rejectionists vaccination paradoxically prevents. The pattern now could be, the entire american continent, where from the north to the south of the measles vaccination eliminated. The inhabitants of the developing countries of Central or South America now, paradoxically, may be afraid of the population of developed Europe,“ said Rastislav Hungarian, chairman of the Coalition for the promotion of vaccination. Measles from the beginning manifested much like many other viral diseases – cough, rhinitis, conjunctivitis, increased temperature up to a fever, which reaches to 40 degrees Celsius. Behind the ears and on the nape of the neck then appears rash, which progresses over the face and neck down to the torso and limbs. Enlarged lymph nodes may be present, diarrhea and a hallmark of the disease is also loss of appetite. A typical manifestation is that, because of a disability of the upper respiratory tract and eye the child has a tearful expression on his face. ""And when we look into the mouth, on their mucosa opposite the chairs are typical of the pale spots on the zarudlém substrate,"" the doctor said Hungarian. The typical rash, which progresses across the face down to the hull, persists for about a week, then already beginning to subside. Part of the uncomplicated course of measles is inflammation of the bronchi. However, there are also a number of possible complications including pneumonia and even inflammation of the brain. Preventive examinations in children: a Detailed calendar until the age of majority, ""the Most dreaded complication is the so-called subacute sclerosing panencephalitis, which is rare, but always fatal result spalničkové of the disease, which typically occurs after six to seven years after a previous infection. The risk factor is going through with spalničkové infection under two years of age, when the immune system is not fully mature. It's actually a slow postinfekcionnoj viral disease of the central nervous system with extremely poor prognosis and fatal outcome in a few years from disease,“ said Rastislav Hungarian, head of the Institute of epidemiology and public health of the Medical faculty of the university of Ostrava. Measles is highly infectious and it is always required strict isolation of the sick. The patient is infectious 4 days before and 4 days after the onset of the rash. Specific cure measles virus does not exist, it dampens just the symptoms that the disease causes, typically fever. Patients with weakened immunity may file an antiviral. After undergoing spalničkové infection no other disease in life there is no danger of postinfekcionnoj immunity protects the rest of your life. For others it is the most suitable vaccination. Protection after two doses of the vaccine is long-term, exact length, however, is not exactly laid down. In adulthood we can take to verify the level of protective antibody test from the blood and possibly get to be revaccinated. ""It is worth mentioning that vaccination against measles was initiated in 1969, the older vintages, if disease not, not against them protected. Subsequently, in the years 1970 to 1975, applied only one dose of spalničkové vaccine, nor the protection of these years can not be after such a long time regarded as sufficient. Post-vaccination immunity, however, in the course of the decade, declining gradually at all and it doesn't have to be at the same pace,“ added dr. Rastislav Hungarian",76,"czech"

In France, 98.8% of people born between 1960 and 1960 are concerned. Am I protected if I was administered as a single dose ? Two doses are necessary : a first injection and then a booster shot. About 100 people, only 80 will develop antibodies. The reminder helps, therefore, to ensure you have protected the whole world. In children, the first dose is usually done at the age of 12 months and the second - for a one-month minimum interval - between 16 and 18 months. Vaccinated, can I still be affected by measles ? With two doses, it is unlikely that you will contract the disease. But, according to a poll by Ipsos, published in October 2016, only 69% of the respondents attest to trust the vaccination.

"2554","The hypothetical link between MMR vaccine (measles, mumps and rubella) and autism continues to attract the concern of many people. To cut short the false information circulating on the topic, a new study was conducted on a cohort of children in Denmark. More than 650,000 children born between 1999 and 2010, have been followed up in 2013. The researchers, who publish their work in the Annals of internal Medicine in the United States , compared the number of children who received a diagnosis of autism among the vaccinated and non-vaccinated. Result : no difference. They have not found more children with autistic disorders among those who have been vaccinated. ""The study strongly supports the fact that MMR vaccine does not increase the risk of autism, does not trigger autism in children at risk (with risk factors, ed), and is not associated with a clustering of cases of autism after vaccination "", conclude the researchers. A dozen other studies on the subject, These results confirm those of a 2002 study on 537.000 Danish children. The researchers also cite ten other studies conducted on vaccines for children, six of whom are specifically on the MMR vaccine, which have found no link. The hundreds of thousands of children as well studied, over many years, compare to the small 1998 study often cited by anti-vaccine as showing a link between MMR and autism, and that was only on 12 children. This study has been retracted by the medical journal that had published. The author, who had falsified the results, has lost his medical license, but it continues to be cited by the militant anti-vaccine. Allegations relayed by Trump Donald Trump has also relayed these allegations during his campaign of 2016.

"2585","Like the aids virus, but the sooner, the measles virus attacks the immune system, according to a study published in Science Thursday. The sick are almost as vulnerable to the pathogen as a new-born, reinforcing the usefulness of the vaccination. Public health professionals had previously observed that the vaccination campaigns against measles were lower infant mortality total. But the researchers were not sure of the biological mechanisms. A team of Harvard researchers, of the medical Institute Howard Hughes and the Erasmus university in the netherlands analyzed the blood of 77 Dutch infants infected with measles during the epidemic that struck the country in 2013 : their blood had been taken before the infection, and then again two months after. Most of the ""immune memory"" The researchers used a tool developed in the United States and it is called VirScan, which identifies all of the virus that has infected previously a person, and that the immune system remembers : HIV, flu, herpes, and hundreds of other viruses. When the body encounters a virus, it creates antibodies that remain and protect from infections in the future : it is the ""memory"" immune. The analyses showed that the measles eliminated between 11 and 73% of protective antibodies in children. The measles "" reset your immune system and return you to a more naive state,"" says epidemiologist Michael Mina, of Harvard, co-author of the study. To return to a high level of antibodies and rebuild their defenses, ""they need to be reinfected by pathogens, such as new-born babies, which take a lot of risks in the first years of their life,"" says Michael Mina. The virus is more dangerous than expected, Unlike HIV, the immune defenses are weakened much more quickly, and they are also rebuilding more quickly, says the researcher. The study, supported by tests on macaques, and by another analysis, published Thursday in Science, Immunology, shows that the danger of measles exceeds the only risk related to infection. ""The virus is far more deleterious than we thought, which makes the vaccine more valuable,"" says Stephen Elledge, a geneticist who has developed with colleagues a tool VirScan. ",75,"france"

The death toll is in the long-term comparison declined but, in the year 2000, more than 535,000 people with the disease have succumbed to it yet. Recently, the Numbers rise again. So it was 2018 the WHO estimated that around 16,000 measles Deaths more than in 2017. Especially in the Congo, the measles spread in many places. A reason for low vaccination rates, according to the WHO. Experts lament gaps in the supply of the vaccines. Display Similar to the death of the estimated infections, which have increased after a sharp decline in also changed numbers recently. According to WHO estimates, there were 2018, nearly 9.8 million measles cases in the previous year, nearly 7.6 million. As in many countries, there is no reporting obligation exists, according to the WHO, only a small fraction of measles cases are known. The vast majority of infections have been reported to 2019 to mid-November from the Congo. The authorities believe that alone there are more than 5,000 people died of measles – far more than the Ebola outbreak since the summer of 2018, with about 2,200 deaths so far.

But – as observed by the regional councilor for health, Beate Prettner (Spö) – in recent years, the”Impfmoral” (i.e. the moral duty to get vaccinated) is weakened, the proportion of vaccinated decreased and this has led to the reappearance of the evil. Not only against measles but also against other diseases, such as pertussis (whooping cough), or meningoencephalitis from the mint. Prettner cites the cases of pertussis, which increased from 1 per 100,000 to 18.5. Were 10 cases reported in Carinthia ten years ago, had climbed to 108 last year. As for the ticks, last year in Austria, 154 people were treated at a hospital for meningoencephalitis, and five of them are death.

According to the latest estimates by the Who, in the first 3 months of this year, cases of measles in the world have increased by 300% In a few months, measles has caused the death of over a thousand people in Madagascar. And also the number of infections is very high: more than 115 thousand infections from October 2018. The numbers of these that make this outbreak the biggest and most dangerous in the whole history of the country. According to estimates from the world health Organization (Who), only 58% of the people are currently vaccinated against the measles virus (to avoid an epidemic, according to experts, the rates of immunization should be in the range of 90-95%). In addition to the problem of the distrust towards the vaccination, explained Dossou Vincent Sodjinou, epidemiologist at the Who in Madagascar, to complicate the situation in Madagascar are other factors, such as malnutrition, or the difficulty in reaching the health centers, which are often short of qualified staff. Also, some of the parents, "" adds the expert, ignore the fact that vaccines are completely free of charge in the centres of public health. Remember that cases of measles are increasing in many other parts of the world, such as, for example, the United States, where from January 1 to April 4, 2019 with the Cdc have been 465 cases of measles in 19 states. In particular, the city of New York is the hardest hit, with 285 cases in a few months: as we told you, in fact, New York city mayor Bill De Blasio has declared a state of public health emergency and has requested the mandatory vaccination in the four most affected areas. In other words, in the districts most affected by measles, unvaccinated persons must receive the trivalent vaccine Mmr (measles, mumps, and rubella). And those who will not carry out the vaccination will need to pay a fine of one thousand dollars. Europe has also registered a record number of cases: in 2018, according to the Who, there have been almost 83mila affected persons and 72 deaths in the 53 Countries of the Who european region (which includes the countries of Eastern europe and Russia). Figures that are 3 times those of the 2017 and 15 times as recorded in 2016. According to the preliminary data of the Who, cases of measles in the world recorded in the first three months of 2019 were up 300%. “Although these data are only provisional they indicate a clear trend”, it says on the website of the Who. “Many countries are experiencing outbreaks of measles, such as the democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Madagascar, Myanmar, the Philippines, Sudan, Thailand, and Ukraine, causing many deaths, especially among children”. Although it is one of the disease is most contagious in the world, the measles can be prevented through two doses of the vaccine against this disease. For several years, says the Who, the global coverage of the first dose of the vaccine was halted at 85% (lower then the 95% required to prevent outbreaks). The second dose, however, decreased to 67%. Last month, however, the ministry of Health of Madagascar, in collaboration with the world health organization has launched a campaign of mass vaccination aimed to reach 7 million children. “After conducting mass vaccination campaigns in children aged 6 months to 9 years of age, the Madagascar is now witnessing a general decrease of the cases of measles and deaths,” reads a note by the Who on 15 April.",75,"italy"

The WHO has pointed out that the measles virus is “very contagious” and transmitted rapidly between people at risk, noting that, in order to prevent outbreaks, it is necessary to, at least, an immunization coverage of 95% with two doses of a vaccine each and every year, in every community. In addition to this, he says, it is essential to be able to come in and vaccinate children, adolescents, and adults who have not been vaccinated in a systematic manner in the past. Although the coverage of the vaccine has passed in the last year, from 88% to 90% of all children under the age of vaccination, there still exist large differences in the level of the local, said the WHO, which states there are communities with up to 95% coverage, and others who are below 70%.

So said the president of the Spanish Association of Vacunología, Amós García Rojas, who noted that in the Canary islands, in Spain, as in general, the coverage vaccine against the measles, the first dose of the 12 months, are higher than 95%, ""and that creates us a bag of defensive all-important"". However, the epidemiologist noted that there is no lowering of the guard and recalled that the mmr vaccine against measles, parotitis (mumps) and rubella, consists of two doses, and although the coverage of the first 12 months, around 97%, in the second, at 3 years old, low a little. ""Although the second dose is within acceptable values, we have to be vigilant and to ensure that it is put at the same level as that of the first dose,"" he said. In relation to the recent recommendations of the Ministry of Health to extend the measles vaccine to adults born between 1970 and 1980, aged between 40 and 50 years ago, dr. Garcia-Rojas indicated that the Canary islands already includes this practice in their vaccination calendar for adults from 2011, for those under 65 years of age at the time were not vaccinated and have not passed the disease. ""Taking into account that they would be a low number of cases because we have coverage very good, as is now the case more sensitive to suffer from measles would be under the age of 12 months that still have not been able to get the vaccine, and in adults, primarily those born between 1970 and 1980 that, in his time, could not be vaccinated because there were no vaccines and they didn't catch the disease, which is quite rare"", he stressed. Since 1980, The president of the Spanish Society of Vacunología recalled that the mmr vaccine came to Spain in 1980, so that in the early years of this decade, the coverage was not as great as from 1985. ""There may be people who are not vaccinated in the first few years of the arrival of the vaccine and did not pass the disease because measles virus is not circulating as much. For they are for those who now recommends the vaccine, not for all who are between 40 and 50 years"", and advised that in the event that someone doubts, or do not remember if was the disease, or, if vaccinated, ""vaccination"". In regard to the population born before the arrival of the vaccine in 1980, Amos Garcia noted that virtually all of them passed the disease. ""The measles virus is very contagious, and as before there was no control mechanism was circulated at his ease, with which virtually all people prior to the vaccine pass the disease by natural way. Even at that time there was a practice very frequent, when a child suffering from measles then congregated with the rest of the children of the whole family -brothers, sisters, cousins... - so that all get sick at the same time, which had a certain logic when there were no vaccines, because it made it possible for the measles got in ages in which there was a greater ability of defenses against the disease"", he cited the specialist. García Rojas also emphasized that the population between 40 and 50 years who may be sensitive to suffer the measles, ""is very low"", because the majority has passed on the disease via natural or was vaccinated in his time. ""There is only a small bag of people who did not pass the disease by using natural methods and that are not vaccinated. That's why, since 2011 in the vaccination calendar of the adult in the Canary islands we have the vaccine for that collective, not for the entire population including those ages, that has no justification"". In the unlikely event that there is an outbreak of measles -something very unlikely in Spain due to the high vaccination coverage""-, the specialist indicated that the advisable thing would be to advance the vaccine to the nine or six months of age. Free of endemic transmission Spain obtained since 2016 the country check free of endemic transmission of measles (in the case of rubella, as from 2015). Between January and July 2019, the Ministry of Health has confirmed 233 cases of measles across the country, as all of them, imported cases or secondary to these. An achievement that is due, according to the Ministry, the coordination, and high involvement of health professionals in the National Health System, as well as the coordinated work of all the autonomous communities, and to the work of the Epidemiological Surveillance System for the early detection of cases and implementation of control measures required to guarantee the interruption of the transmission of this disease. Health In September of 2018, the Ministry of Health, Consumption, and Welfare recommended that vaccination mmr vaccination against measles, rubella and mumps, all persons born after 1970 who have not received 2 doses of vaccine previously. Later, in the Calendar of Vaccinations for the Lifetime of the year 2019, the Ministry expanded that recommendation to the susceptible population under 65 years of age. In July of 2019 reiterates the recommendation of September 2018 in the sense of vaccinating with two doses separated by an interval of 4 weeks to the non-vaccinated previously with two doses. Recommendation From the Spanish Association of Vacunología insist that adults 40 to 50 years old must only be vaccinated if you have not had the measles or not been vaccinated with two doses. Coverage To ensure viral immunity, any society must have a 95% of vaccination coverage. In Spain, the coverage is above 97% in the first dose, and low to an average of 94% on the second dose, at three years of age. Expansion The rise of measles in the world is becoming one of the major threats to global health. The World Health Organization (WHO) warned in early August that the spread of the disease was reaching a dizzying pace, and recently certified that the United Kingdom, Greece, Albania and the Czech Republic had lost its status of country free of measles. Poverty The president of the Spanish Association of Vacunología blames the expansion of the measles in the world, to various causes, the first, poverty resulting from the economic crisis, which had a strong impact in several countries of the european context that they distorted the political vaccine and created bags of marginality of the population nomadic going from one country to another and who cannot be vaccinated because they do not have access to the health system of the countries through which they circulate. They also highlight the conflict as a cause of the rise of the disease. Antivacunas ESMA aims, to a lesser extent, countries such as France and Italy, where, in addition to the bags of marginality generated by the population of transhumant pastoralism, have proliferated movements reluctant to vaccination (antivacunas).",75,"spain"

In fact, measles is a highly contagious disease : it only takes one case to infect 20 people. It should be so that 95 % of the population is vaccinated to achieve collective protection. The remaining 5% represent the people who can't protect themselves because of illness or because they are too young. Thanks to the herd immunity, they remain protected from measles. 50 new cases each week. The problem is that any region does not meet these criteria today.

"79012"," | 7 min read The measles vaccine is the method that has allowed Europe to get rid of a contagious disease for which there is no cure and that can be dangerous in adults. However, ""the number of countries that have achieved or maintained the eradication of the disease has decreased,"" says United Nations. This report, from the beginning of 2019, is very eloquent in regard to the evolution and the marked peak of 2018. ""The return of the measles transmission is worrisome. If it is not achieved and maintained a high immunization coverage in all communities, both children and adults will suffer needlessly and some will die tragically"", he explained, now the president of the Commission for the Elimination of Measles and Rubella (RVC), Günter Pfaff. Is there measles in Spain? Officially, since 2016 is considered an endemic disease eradicated in Spain. Until July, this year 2019 were recorded 233 cases of measles, seven more than last year. All of them are cases of ‘imported’ or side. There is a correlation with increases to the european level has been detected the World Health Organization (WHO), which maintains the emergency level 2 (mobilization of resources for the affected countries). When does vaccine in Spain against the measles? In Spain, the so-called triple viral (measles, rubella and mumps) was introduced in the immunization schedule in 1981. Three years before, the measles already vacunaba ‘solo’, in accordance with the first schedule, in place since 1978. Since then, the coverage has been very high. The latest immunization schedule of the National Health System was published last July. The mmr is given at 12 months and 3 or 4 years of age. Does should be vaccinated who was born in the 70s? The indication of the Ministry of Health is clear from nearly a year ago. Recommends the vaccination for people born between 1970 and 1980 without vaccinated if you did not pass the disease. That's a decade of relative gap between the generation that was widely exposed (it used to be of child... and also dying of an adult if there were complications) and the next, covered widely by the immunization schedule. In this thread, the Spanish Association of Vacunología remember the source of this story: 1. In September of 2018, the Ministry of Health recommended vaccination mmr: measles, rubella and mumps for all persons born after 1970 who have not received 2 doses of vaccine previamentehttps://t.co/UOZXVlkMTW — Vacunas.org (@AEV_Vacunas) August 31, 2019 According to the Accelerated Schedule of Vaccination on the National Health System (a kind of protocol for those who do not have accredited their history) , ""vaccination in people born in Spain from 1970, with no history of vaccination and documented in people not born in Spain, and without documentation of previous vaccination should be given two doses of the mmr vaccine with an interval of at least four weeks between doses. What is new this recommendation? Has there been an alert? No. In reality, nothing changes. The Ministry of Health has launched a reminder, according to collected Efe, from the recommendations of the Spanish Society of Epidemiology. The calendar agreed upon with the autonomous communities was designed last November, and this was reflected in the final document of the month of July. The WHO has not released a new alert. Simply, has called attention to a worrying phenomenon and maintains the aforementioned emergency level 2 in the countries in which measles has become. Does that mean that around 12% of the population born in that decade, is at risk and puts others at risk? Not in and of itself. A good part of that group will have passed the disease and many other members will be vaccinated. Simply, to be out of the immunization schedule, it is not possible to quantify and follow-up as with the generations that came after them. How can I tell if I already have protection? You have passed the measles and have received the vaccine are the only methods of protection. To know if this has occurred, you can perform a serological analysis and see if the organism has been exposed to the pathogen. In any case, there is no problem in getting vaccinated in the face of doubt ""just in case"" and it is sure to your doctor tells you to. There are No adverse effects resulting from a double vaccination. What do I get? You can ask at your health centre. The physician or practitioner may prescribe a adult this vaccine. In the health centres of the public system should be dispensed free of charge doses of mmr beyond the child population, if the patient requires it or in case of doubt. What happens if I get measles? There is No treatment for the measles virus. ""Severe complications from measles (one out of every 1,000 in adults) can be reduced with a treatment support that ensures good nutrition, an adequate intake of fluids and treatment of dehydration with oral rehydration solutions"", explained from the WHO. The majority of deaths are due to complications of the measles, ""which are more common in children under 5 years and adults over 30 years. The most serious are blindness, encephalitis (an infection accompanied by edema of the brain), severe diarrhoea, ear infections and severe respiratory infections, such as pneumonia,"" they add, since their specific section dedicated to the measles. Pregnant women, babies and people with immune systems depressed are exposed to the virus may receive antibodies. In the six days after the exposure, the so-called serum immune globulin can prevent measles or to manifest more mildly. Is there a measles mutant? Something like that. Mutations have been found in one of its parts. In particular, in the protein that allows the virus latching onto host cells and infect them. What a team of the CSIC observed in 2009 is not that there is a mutation of the virus that circulate in the air. But, within the agency, manages to mutate in that part that allows it to evade the immune system and infect cells. There are also mutations that make it more weak. Therefore, it is not necessary to be vaccinated in general again because the virus has mutated, unless expressly indicated to the health authorities with the identification of an outbreak concrete, you may need a new booster dose. There are identified 23 varieties genetic measles. I have more questions, whom do I ask? Always, at your health centre will give you reliable information. If you are going to search on the internet, be careful and check sources like that bring you here. The lies and myths about vaccines are behind blips like this, according to the WHO. No one, absolutely no one, has managed to prove any hoax about the risks of vaccination, the scientific method in hand. Here are more questions and answers provided by the organization. Like any substance, a vaccine can make a minimum of risk, but not only is known, but is declared and evaluated. Different control systems have shown that the benefit of vaccinating is far superior to any side effect. Otherwise it may lead to the death not only of the non-vaccinated, but low in the rest of the population. In the same sense, David Moreno, coordinator of the Advisory Committee of the Spanish Association of Pediatrics, explained in April to Efe that every time you compared cases of autism in children vaccinated and not vaccinated gets the same proportion, which denies any kind of association that tend to draw from the associations antivacunas. What is the origin of the hoax? A study, now retired, dating back to 1998. Andrew Wakefield, then a doctor in the Uk, placed an article in The Lancet, where after studying a dozen of children, associating the mmr vaccine with autism. Two years later, the College of General British Doctor inquired about his work and ended up withdrawing the license of a physician. He had hidden their conflicts of interest and the results were loaded with biases. Their poor practices have been condemned by associations such as Autism Spain.The Government launched this specific campaign last April: Not only is there no scientific evidence that it causes autism. There are otherwise, as some international teams have been dedicated in recent years to dismantle the myth to base further studies. This study is the largest and newest about it and it's conclusive: ""there was an increase in the risk of autism after vaccination"". As in all studies, Is it all the fault of the antivacunas? It is a factor that has been highlighted particularly by the UN in its report. But there is more. The spikes, as produced at the beginning of 2018, can not be explained by a movement of a background as the antivacunas, or correlate with any particular campaign on the part of these groups. If not immunized at least 95% of the population, there is a risk that the rest, contagion to spread, can cause an outbreak. The shortage or lack of access to vaccines, due to a conflict point, or by pockets of poverty and marginalization can be a key, as is apparent from this study of the outbreak Greek of 2018, or this other, of Spain. There are countries or areas where the myth antivacunas is not even an option. Similarly, as has been evident with the announcement in Spanish, there is a population that surely will not have any prejudice to get the vaccine but, until now, I did not know that he was (and put the other at risk. Or not received any doses or have not received the second. At the global level have been given this year 364.808 cases (avoidable) disease all over the world. That's three times more than there were during the same period of 2018. Sources:",74,"spain"

TV doctor Dr Ranj issued his advice on This Morning. He said: “Not getting the MMR vaccine can have severe consequences. Measles can lead to pneumonia, you can end up in hospital, and you can die from it. “Mumps causes infertility and rubella can spell bad news for pregnant women.”  Measles: Is the MMR vaccine safe?

Not everyone can get vaccinated for various medical reasons, and many don’t respond to the dose of the vaccine. This lower level of people getting vaccinated causes the re-emergence of conditions.

"55112","TINO FERNANDEZ (Pontevedra, 1961) overflows with a mixture of satisfaction and excitement. Not only to improve their electoral results, but also for having managed to touch a hair on the municipal Government thanks to a pact with the BNG that has reported skills ""very DNA socialist"" and that expects great achievements. How objective met? I think yes. The goal was to get visibilizase that the PSOE is a party with significance in the city and that we have a project that will allow us to move forward. What do you think of the covenant with the BNG? Didn't want to enter the Government at any price, and I think that we have reached an agreement fair and balanced. When was the first call to secure that agreement? The first call was just after the election. There, the mayor and I, we hinted that we needed to talk. Days after we met in his office and we both agreed that it had withs for a covenant, because we are in agreement on what is fundamental and there were no insurmountable differences. Above all, looking for a stable Government and avoid the last four years, with such volatility in the full, and that the management would be more fast and agile. The following day was hatched how I was going to be the agreement. Who carried the weight of the negotiations? For our part, I was the only fixed and after they were going to be rotating my team mates, according to the topics. For them, the meetings were Lords, Mosquera and Raimundo. Was there any red line? Do something that was non-negotiable? No. We spoke to panties removed and all we had to eat some marroncillo, but there were no red lines. It was not difficult to be understood. Are you satisfied with the result? In general lines, yes. And all the organs of the party in Galicia agree that it is a covenant beneficial, even as a frame of reference to other possible negotiations. Speaking of specific areas. You return to take Education and Sport. Was it a whim to staff? When the time came to talk about areas, we put on the table that we wanted those who already had an experience in the past and does not engender start from scratch. Now we give Sports a content something more broad, because it not only encompasses the land but also the physical activity and the health of the citizens. However, the big events are in the hands of the mayor. Isn't it a little strange? No. In the previous covenant joked with the mayor that the only matter in the ever talked about was Sports, because we have a very similar vision and we agree on almost everything. This time we agree that the big events have to continue to function as a pole of tourist attraction of Pontevedra and in that the mayor has a capacity of management recognized at the international level, therefore take him out of that equation was to lose an asset. As Sports is so extensive that it allows us to be both without conflicts, it seemed logical to take advantage of what is good. And I cling to the phrase ""what works, don't touch"". Nothing more to know that Anxos Riveiro was not in the Corporation, showered in social media praise for his management, some by part of the own teams of the city. Do give over in those conditions represents an added pressure? No, because already I replaced them in 2011. I'm used to. We must recognize that we are going to miss Anxos and I hope that somehow we can count on it, because I think that is a very valid, kind, and courteous. What I assume pressure is to reclaim the normalcy in the sports management of the city, to the clubs to collect their grants in period, that have a good understanding, which will improve the infrastructure... the Other issue of sharing. Surprised, even within the same BNG, that Anabel Gulías to be left without Economic Promotion... That Concellería, including Employment and Tourism, was born as an impulse of the PSOE, and except for the last four years was always managed by a socialist. There we felt very comfortable, because we have a clear project and very integrated into the city, so it was quite logical that asumiésemos that competition. Do not fear that Economic development may clash with the interests of the BNG in the dissemination of their model of the city? In 2011, we generated synergies very important between Sport and economic Promotion. Having these two portfolios allow that to hold now, too, and it was logical that both are in the hands of the same party. In any case, we are a coalition Government but only one. You are going to have absolute loyalty on our part and I am sure that by the BNG as well, and that means that the areas will be permeable to the needs and the approaches that may give them. Ivan Bridges will assume what some have already christened the superconcellería by their multiple ramifications... Without a doubt, is the concellería that you will have a greater external visibility, because it is the works: in public spaces, in the margins of the rivers, in parks, leisure areas, intergenerational... And Ivan brings an environmental sensitivity very high, which makes the person suitable for that role. The PSOE also remains with the social policy, a plot that the BNG had become a flag in the last few years. Does it cost much to get it? It was the last question of which we speak. Put it on the table because they are part of the DNA of socialist and already manage it in previous stages. And we add the equality because throughout the entire the socialist project, even from Madrid, was a key issue for us. I think that is a good news for the citizens to both equality and social policies are in the same hand, because that allows things to go more round. Says you who trust blindly on the loyalty of the BNG. However, it is necessary to remember that in 2015, ended up you throwing the tackle to the head and the BNG opted to govern alone. What has changed for it not to repeat? It is true that the mandate 2011 - 2015) ended with difficulties for reasons which do not come to the event and that prevented not reprints of the covenant. But mid-term, the two forces, we realized that, regardless of our political positions, those who were suffering from the lack of a stable majority were pontevedreses. Sometimes, the selfishness, partisanship gave us a distorted view. And in politics, generosity is an element there that appreciate a lot. Mid-term, BNG and PSOE were rounding rough edges and the budgets of 2018 and 2019 went forward with ease. This favored a lot of the current situation of understanding. The medicine, again, is generosity, and the disloyalty of 2015 was a measles that we are vaccinated to both. Although BNG and PSOE have much in common, in the city there are potatoes hot in the that have been completely in disagreement. For example, what's going to happen with the urban transport? We have to sit down to study it. We want a transport that allows you to attract people of the parishes and of the environment to the city, because that will consolidate the population of rural and that not follow despoblándose, and will help activate the local economy. This involves talking with the Government from the loyalty and generosity, and let you throw balls outside. Another point of friction are the lombos and their eradication of the pathways to health that the PSOE demanded with such insistence. Do you keep your attitude? In the agreement there is already talk of employing appropriate measures to calm traffic, dependent on the location. That is to say, do not always have to be lombos, but other elements. Not going to delete lombos, but they are going to do a study to see what places could be used by other systems. Because the pontevedreses do not require the deletion of the lombos, but a streamlining. And that's going to do. And a third element that has made sparks fly between you: composting. How are they going to combine that flag of the BNG? The philosophy is clear. We have a contract for the collection of waste that is stale. It is necessary to give it a spin and take out a new contract that provides for a comprehensive overview of the treatment of the organic and the inorganic. And we have been in throughout this term has a new contract. We are not against the composteiros as such, but we ask the BNG management system that clearly tells what you will do with each thing and how they are going to try. This implies the possibility to bury containers in some place or remove them and put them in the old town depending on the time zones. ""The PSOE will bring up a dialog with Ence that until now there was"" The BNG has always backed the closure of Ence while the PSOE calls for the relocation. Is this a point of tension in the new Government? Not, in the covenant that we have signed already speaks clearly of transfer. The two political forces understand this. Now we have to wait to have a stable Government in Madrid and after that there is a judgment of the National court (which hopefully it doesn't take much). And with those two elements in hand, to sit down with the central Government to resume its availability to the relocation of the company. What we also hope is that from the highest spheres of the company to recover the sanity, is to stop attacking the free the Socialist Party and sit down to talk and negotiate about their future, because we understand that it is a business strategic and that generates an important added value, but that it is poorly located. All over the world, even those that defend it, is aware that it is poorly located and that we must do everything possible to get her out but staying in the region and thus continue to generate wealth in the region of Pontevedra. On that we agree, BNG and PSOE. Traditionally, the position of the Block had been refusing any talks with the company. Does the arrival of the PSOE to the local Government will bring that dialog up to now non-existent? I think yes. In the presentation of our roadmap, the mayor made it very clear that we have to talk, to look for formulas for the company to exit there and will locate at another point. Therefore, the negotiation table is a possibility. If Ence has options and wants to talk them over, we will talk about everything. From the city Council of the city the only thing we can do is boost the dialogue, but do not have the capacity to move the company. As we would like. Taking advantage of that there is a Government in Madrid that is receptive to that plan, hopefully by now you also what is the address of the company. Because I believe that the Galician Nationalist Bloc has already understood that the closing is traumatic and the transfer is the reasonable part of the equation. ""Our advantage is to have thread direct with the Government of Madrid"" In the roadmap signed by both forces, the socialist party pulls out chest to have a direct link with the future Government of Madrid. What Descolgarán the phone to clear the A-57 and the Knot of Fire? The advantage of the PSOE in the Government is that we can pick up the phone and speak to Madrid directly. But from the very first time, you will be forwarded to the mayor that such a possibility would exist, it would have or not coalition agreement, because Pontevedra is above the interests of the party. Under any circumstances that was a blackmail. Obviously, the speeding-up of both projects is critical, but also the reclamation of the estuary, where the central Government has something to say because you are paying fines for your situation",74,"spain"

"2591","Measles : measles is struck by the virus, a child was close to death 13: 00 , 22 April 2019 Five children of a kindergarten of the city of Montreuil (Seine-Saint-Denis) have been contaminated by the virus of measles. One of them went near to death. Today, the small, Aldo has only a few buttons, and without doubt scared. This baby of 1 year has just spent fifteen days in the service of pneumology of the hospital Trousseau in the 12th arrondissement of Paris, due to measles. At this age, the infection, very contagious, can cause serious complications. Four other children, kept like him in the creche municipal Nelson-Mandela of Montreuil (Seine-Saint-Denis), the starting point of the epidemic, have also been affected. One of them has even come close to death. In order to avoid the spread of the virus, this establishment can accommodate up to 60 children has been closed, the time to ventilate the premises and peel all the health records. Read also - No, the price of the drug do not increase in France Yesterday, Marie-Anne Dubosc, the mother of Aldo, was still in shock. ""The worst part is the helplessness,"" she says. My son has been placed under respiratory assistance and under perfusion. All of the six hours, she was administering the Paracetamol, and she applied the ice."" 39 degrees and red patches on the body it All began on the 1st of April. On this day, the boy starts coughing, his eyes the itch. His temperature reached 39 degrees, and his body is covered with red patches. The family doctor diagnosed an ear infection and an attack of urticaria. The next day, in spite of the antibiotics, baby's temperature keeps going up. His parents drive him to the emergency room. After a week of hospitalization, a renowned specialist is the assumption of Kawasaki disease, a pathology of infantile serious and rare. Finally, a last test establishes the presence of the virus. ""The symptoms are close, justifies Nicolas Richard, a young pediatrician who had, until then, never cared for patient with measles. It's been only a decade that the virus is back : college of medicine, its detection is still taught in theory, but in practice, few physicians have been faced."" Vaccination campaign Since the January 1, 2019, 88 cases have been reported in the Île-de-France, and 710 at the national level. No doubt due to the recent increase in the vaccination coverage, the epidemic was less virulent than last year, where 1.855 cases had been identified. Ironically, at the time when the symptoms appeared, the mother of Aldo already had in his pocket the order of the MMR vaccine. ""The child is in the age bracket that is more vulnerable,"" says dr. Richard. In fact, it is rare that the virus is transmitted to a least of 6 months, still protected by antibodies from their mother – if she has been vaccinated. But, to be effective, the first injection of the vaccine can only be done from 12 months. As is customary in the case of an epidemic, the regional agency of health (ARS), the Île-de-France in this case, is conducting the investigation. ""We are trying to find all the people who have been in contact with the cases reported,"" said a doctor of the body. On the orders of the LRA, the nursery has closed. The town hall of Montreuil has launched a vaccination campaign for staff. As a precautionary measure, there was also a request to parents to vaccinate all children – less than 1 year included – prior to the reopening of the institution on Tuesday. Daniele Craechcadec, assistant in charge of early childhood, welcomes the initiative : ""We have not had opposition to the principle of families.""",73,"france"
"3922","Mark The health Department of the district of Potsdam-Mittelmark criticized for inadequate Vaccination in children against chicken pox. It speaks of a significant deficit in the coverage. The Andrea Metzler, spokeswoman of the district office shall notify, on MAZ-request. After that, 88 percent of children have been protected in the previous year against chicken pox. For headlines, several bursts of wind were now pox to schools in the district of Potsdam-Mittelmark. Involved in a Waldorf school. Dozens of children without adequate Immunization were excluded from attending school. Better it is in the district of protection against measles. According to Andrea Metzler 94,57 percent of the first graders have been vaccinated in the previous year against measles is sufficient. The world health organisation's target vaccination rate of 95 percent for a sufficient called the stove was achieved immunity almost, so Metzler. High vaccination coverage in the population of babies herd immunity protects bezeichnt the protection of the population through vaccinations, which are also Unvaccinated benefit, such as babies can't be vaccinated because of their age. The higher the vaccination rate is, the more protected so even infants and small children who are not yet vaccinated. Since 2011, the vaccination rate to Protect against measles at Abc, increased slightly. Also, protection against wind pox climb of 2011 with 77 per cent to 88 per cent in the previous year in this age group. This has been revealed by inspections of Impfbüchern from various occasions in day-care centres and enrolment inquiries. Measles cases in 2016 and 2017, 2016 in Potsdam-Mittelmark, seven boys and girls to measles is ill, in 2017 there were two children. Significantly higher the number, the wind is smallpox cases: it was in 2017 with a peak of 78 affected children. 2018 25 children suffered smallpox to the wind. Since the beginning of the year, the health Department of 18 cases of wind was one of smallpox among children in the district. ""Regional focus can not be determined, so Metzler. ""However, it is assumed that in the populous areas of the district to more diseases."" Wind and measles are notifiable diseases are smallpox. A child is ill, parents need to immediately notify the nursery or school. These institutions will inform the health office. Doctors must report the illness immediately to the health office. What is required of an adult As adults can check their vaccination status-for example, if you do not have a Vaccination card more? ""If no vaccination date was available, because the Vaccination card is missing, it might be the doctor for a titer determination Vera. This creates clarity,“ says Metzler. The same applies, if not known, whether it is in the child age, the disease has been made and as an immunity had been acquired. For adequate protection against measles and chicken pox, children must be two Times vaccinated. There is a combined vaccine against Mumps-measles-rubella in children between the eleventh and 14. Month life. The second dose follows at intervals of four weeks, at the latest, however, at the end of the 2. Year of life, in order to achieve the earliest possible protection. Vaccination for post-1970-Born This vaccination is recommended, the health Department also to all the adults who are younger than 49 years old and has an unclear vaccination status have. This is particularly applicable for people working in medical Professions or in community facilities. For you, a single vaccination is sufficient. Full protection against chicken pox, children receive a vaccination in the eleventh to 14. Month life. The second dose is between 15. 23. Month life. But there is also a combined vaccine against Mumps-measles-rubella, and chicken pox. A trick alone is not enough Since received of all children after a first vaccination is actually the second vaccination, is this catching up to do, advises the health Department. Complications from measles can be life-threatening. Also in the case of chicken pox to be dangerous. The disease is not to be underestimated, says circle speaker, Kai-Uwe Schwinzert. There are complications, such as pneumonia, balance disorder, and irritation of the meninges may occur. By Marion von Imhoff",73,"germany"
"3933","Worldwide the number of measles infections has risen by 30 percent. The measles are also exterminated in Germany, and it would be so easy. What's stopping us? The world health organization, WHO, called as a reason of carelessness and misinformation about vaccinations. The other day I heard with the children of an old episode of ""Benjamin the elephant"": The poor-speaking elephant got the measles. The measles to listen to the whole episode somehow totally cute: You get some funny red dots that can also be used with spit to wipe, is two to three Wöchelchen sick, is beautifully maintained – however, no-sugar piece of food! and is a bit tired. And somehow, I have annoyed me on this image. Because obviously a lot to many people about measles still think exactly as before once Benjamin the elephant: It's not all that bad. Earlier, say many, we survived the but also when there were no vaccinations! We were a little sick, we put in a little chopped off to bed, two to three weeks of rest, maybe the room had to be darkened, so maybe there was a bit of a fever. But otherwise: Cozy time wasting, and after that, everything is the same again. From this point of view, you don't understand then perhaps why now all of the upset is large, if the number of measles illnesses rises again, and it still does not succeed, the pathogen globally. A few facts: Approximately 110 000 people have died in the year of the measles, most of whom were children. Approximately 6.7 million people worldwide are ill. In Germany, with approximately 1000 measles, the number of Diseased cases, almost three times as high as the year before. At the same time, many small children are not vaccinated sufficiently, and also in adults, the second dose, which promises only the full Vaccination is often lacking. The ""national action plan for elimination of measles"" has not been met – again. What is the reason? On the one hand on the still-belittling image of measles, see Benjamin Blümchen. On the other hand, the measles vaccination is likely to be the victims of their own success. The vaccination would not be as effective as we would witness in their own environment more frequently measles diseases and their possible consequences in the case of a complicated and terrible history: in death, severe brain inflammation, paralysis, disabilities, pneumonia, otitis media and severe hearing impairment, etc. PP Sees this, can you weigh slightly in safety, forget to protect our children (and by the way, all the other with, can not be vaccinated). Instead, not, or not fully inoculated and thus contributes to further spread of the Virus. The measles are a highly contagious, sometimes fatal disease. About a quarter of the Patients must be treated in the hospital and may not be cuddly at home in bed. Also in the Benjamin-Blümchen-a result of the elephant itself and even the speaker of the radio play, plug finally. Actually, a sense of image for how contagious the disease really is. Because an unprotected Person with the measles virus comes in contact, they suffer 99 percent of the measles – so, actually, always. In the case of measles it is definitely a harmless children's disease, as it was thought that earlier just. You can die from it still! And about one in every thousand ill child developed a measles-encephalitis. Subacute sclerosing Panencephalitis (SSPE) is a dreaded late complication after measles infection. This inflammation of the brain, with lasting damage, severe disabilities, and inevitably leads to early death. Bad is also that the risk of Contagion is already in one to two days before the appearance of the typical first symptoms. Here can be Unvaccinated already go unnoticed infected! Really hard opponents, only two to four percent of the population is fortunately still. As a necessary vaccination rate of 95 percent, this could totally wear objectors, it is up to all of us other, to close the gaps. Then not only we are protected from the Virus, we will also protect others who cannot be vaccinated for medical or personal reasons, such as cancer sufferers, small children and Immunocompromised. After all, In 37 of 53 European States have succeeded the measles eradicate. This is, if enough people are protected, because the Virus can only spread from person to person – through it comes to rare, so it dies out. So: Hopp, quickly again in the own vaccination records look and, if appropriate, the second vaccination to pick up! In the case of our children, we should make sure that the second vaccination has to occur before the second birthday. And the opportunity to cuddle up in bed, offers the Season, so, Yes, risk.

The WHO has recorded 89.994 cases of measles in the 48 countries of europe in the first half of 2019, more than double that of the same period of the previous year (44.175), and most of that is in the year 2018 (84.462). ""The return of the transmission of measles, it is a matter of major concern if we are unable to establish and maintain high coverage of immunization in the community, both young and old, will have needless suffering, and some of you will be doomed to a tragic death"", says a professor Günter Pfaff, chair of the Regional Committee, for the purposes of Verifying the Elimination of Measles and Rubella. To the world health organization, the state of the ""deletion"" is the absence of continuous transmission for 12 months in one specific geographic area. In the United Kingdom have been reported 953 cases in the year 2018 (489 as of 1 January 2019 at the latest), while 2.193 have been reported in Germany (28), 1.466, in Albania (475), and 217 in the Czech Republic (569). ""Each and every one of these countries, it is an example of national coverage of immunization is extremely high, so there are examples of countries with systems that are particularly weak (in health),"" said Kate O'brien, the director of the department of immunization of the world health organization. ""I don't think that this is a warning to the world: it is not enough to achieve high coverage, it should be done in all of the communities and the families,"" he said. A extremely contagious and it might lead to serious complications, sometimes fatal (37 in Europe in the first half of this year, and to 74 by 2018) measles is generally spread by direct contact or through the air to infect the respiratory tract, spreading through the body. In Europe, the majority of infected people have at least 19 years of age (60% of the cases). In the first half of 2019, as much as 78% of the cases have been reported in four outbreaks of infection: Kazakhstan, Georgia, Russia, and Ukraine, which account for 60% of the time. Measles is considered eliminated in 35 of the 53 countries in the region. They were 37 countries in this ranking in the fall of 2017. It is a disease that is endemic in 12 countries, including France and Germany, where vaccination is expected to become mandatory as of march of the year 2020. A good student, Austria, and Switzerland, have achieved the status of ""the erased"" after the show, the interruption of ongoing transmission for at least 36 months. There is no cure for measles, but the disease can be prevented with two doses of the vaccine, according to the world health organization it is estimated that more than 20 million deaths are prevented worldwide between 2000 and 2016, thanks to the vaccine. All in all, the number of reported cases has tripled in the period between 1 January and 31 July 2018 at the latest (129.239), and in the first seven months of this year 364.808). The most numerous were registered in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Madagascar, and Ukraine. The United States has had the highest number of reported cases of measles in the last 25 years. The WHO estimates that less than one out of every 10 cases are reported all over the world, which means that the scale of the epidemic is much higher than the official statistics indicate. Measles is on the rise again all over the world because of poor access to health care and distrust of the vaccine. By 2016, however, it was in decline.

"22410","Shares Measles is a viral infection disease that is spread from person-to-person through the air by droplets or aerosols. Even though it is mostly a benign disease, and in some cases it can become serious or even life-threatening. This is a disease that tends to be the more dangerous, the higher the age of the person. In the most severe cases, measles can lead to liver kidney failure, or cardiac and respiratory complications and/or neurological disorders. People who have never had measles and were not vaccinated have a higher chance of contracting the disease if they are exposed to the virus. At the time of the infection? The incubation period after exposure to the virus that can vary, from 10 to 12 days, so that you can be a carrier of the disease without even knowing it. The infection usually occurs 2 to 4 days before the rash to happen, that is, the appearance of small spots on the skin. In the case of a disease that is transmitted solely from person-to-person through the spread of droplets or by direct contact with secretions from the nose and throat of infected people (coughing and sneezing), and the use of a vaccine is effective and safe, it allows you meet is likely to be spent. In close quarters, and with a lot of people, such as in schools, there is a greater ease of transmission of the virus. How it manifests itself? In the initial phase, the patient is infected with the virus of measles may have fever, soreness of the throat, conjunctivitis (redness of eyes), or a dry cough.

Specifically, public Health has issued a press release Friday in which it clarifies that the current epidemiological situation of measles in the State has not changed, keeping what is technically known as ""removal status"", in force in Spain since the year 2016, as has been recently verified by the WHO. The ""state-elimination"" assumes that all diagnosed cases from the year 2016 in Navarre and other Spanish autonomous communities are imported, that is to say, are people who have been infected outside the country, or they are people who have been in contact with those same cases that acquired the infection abroad, has informed the Executive foral in a press release. In this regard, the Ministry believes that ""there are no grounds to justify a change of strategy or the recommendations of vaccination already established, that are contained in the common calendar of vaccination throughout life."" During childhood, it is recommended that the administration of two doses of mmr vaccine (at 12 months and 3-4 years of life). The population of children 4 years older who has not received two doses of vaccine should complete the regimen of vaccination, by maintaining an interval between doses of at least 4 weeks. With respect to adults, it is recommended that vaccination with two doses of mmr, with an interval between doses of at least 4 weeks, to people born in Spain from 1970 on, that have not had the disease and have no history of vaccination with two doses. In the event that the adult had previously received a single dose, administer a second (keeping the interval specified above). In persons born before 1970 are assumed to be immune by having had the disease previously. Health professionals who have not had the disease and are not vaccinated with two doses against measles have a greater risk of acquiring this viral disease than the general population. It is important that this group of people to review your immunization record and appropriate vaccination if necessary. Both from the Department of Health and from the Ministry consider that it is necessary to take advantage of any appointment or visit to the health centers corresponding (Primary Care) so that people are informed and update their respective states of vaccination.

According to their analysis, forgets how to respond to unknown pathogens and can thus prevent disease – and that in the long term. Measles this year for the first time reported all 14 counties.

Specific immunity in the body to ensure T - and B-lymphocytes. Arise in the bone marrow. B-lymphocytes are the Essential cells of the immune system, which care primarily about response to pathogens. Play a major role for immune memory, which is also used in the vaccination. The reaction of the immune system is based on the recognition of antigen and subsequent propagation and transformation of plasma cells. They produce large amounts of antibodies, they bind to the same antigen as the parent B-lymphocyte and help other cells of the immune system to find and disarm. T-lymphocytes the Essence of acquired cellular immunity, interfere with, for example, against tumour cells or cells infected by viruses. Some T-lymphocytes are able to regulate the immune system, secrete into the blood of cytokines (proteins important for immune response).

Using a tool called however, virscan received a detailed picture of the immune system of children before and after going through with an infectious disease. They found that the children who passed through the measles, came in an average of 20% of the different antibodies, in the case of one of the infected with the number added up to 73 percent. This loss can, according to professor Stephen Elledge cause at least five times more indirect deaths than the measles. ""Just erase one particular, and you have a problem,"" he said. Measles have a similar effect as ten years of age with HIV ""Measles are for the human body such as ten years, untreated HIV infection packed into just a couple of weeks,"" described further for the BBC, the devastating impact of the disease the doctor Michael Mina. The conclusions of the scientific teams supported by dr. Velislava Petrova from the british Sanger institute. According to its survey not only to the destruction of B-lymphocytes memory, already with antigen met, but also B-lymphocytes, which have not yet been to the antibody exposed. The immune system has only a limited range of antibodies that can interact and respond to pathogens. In addition to B-lymphocytes the body produces more of the many important T-lymphocytes. Even those have their own memory, the effect of measles on these cells, however, scientists have not yet studied. But even these may be infectious diseases affected, warns dr. Mina on the basis of the studies performed. The consequences can be long-term, scientists warn Measles? The problem developed Europe, for vaccination in Ukraine lobbied Bill Gates, says vaccinologist Prymula Latest research dealt with only by the downstream impact of the disease, a study from the year 2015, however, suggests that the consequences can be long-term. The immune system of the infection recovers after a certain period of time. Its a complete ""cure"" is different. The analysis of the researchers shows that for the inhabitants of the poorer countries, where measles spread more easily, it is a longer period of time.

Have been observed a rapid decay from the peak of the outbreak (S-13 to S-18), and then a stabilization around 40 cases weekly (S-21 S-26) and around 20 cases on average over the past three weeks. The national agency confirms that this situation is the result of inadequate immunization coverage in infants, established to 79% with two doses of the vaccine instead of the 95% needed, as well as in children and young adults. However, ""in order to avoid outbreaks, it is necessary to have a vaccination coverage of at least 95 % with two doses of a measles-containing vaccine each year within each community"", says the WHO.

"2571","For the past several months, the number of measles cases increases in Occitania, which reflects an active circulation of the virus. Faced with this situation, the regional Agency of health reminds us that the best way to protect against measles is to get vaccinated ! Already more than 320 cases of measles this year in Occitania, Since the beginning of the year 2019, 324 cases of measles were reported to the ARS Occitania, which represents more than a quarter of the reported cases in France. In total, 91 people were hospitalised and 29 have presented complications (encephalitis, pneumonitis). Children under 5 years of age are the most affected. The three departments that are primarily affected : the Haute-Garonne, Aude, and Pyrenees Orientales. The highly contagious measles and inadequate immunization coverage on all of our departments are two factors which could contribute to the restart of an epidemic in our region. In more than 9 out of 10 people infected are not or insufficiently vaccinated (1 dose). To date, no department in Occitania, only achieved 95% of immunization coverage for measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR), a rate recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) to allow the elimination of the disease. To protect themselves, and protect the most fragile, a single reflex : the vaccination “To be protected effectively, a single solution : the vaccination”, recalls the ARS. The MMR vaccine is recommended at one year of age, but also in adults born after 1980. The health professionals, early childhood professionals and teachers are also strongly encouraged to check their vaccination status. Vaccination it is also to protect the most vulnerable who cannot be vaccinated : infants under 6 months, pregnant women, people with weakened immune systems... A highly contagious disease that can be serious, Often mistakenly regarded as benign, it can lead to serious complications (pneumonitis, encephalitis...), and hospitalization. Measles is not a childhood disease, it also applies to adolescents and adults. It is characterized by a high fever, associated with cough, nasopharyngitis, or conjunctivitis, and a rash. Measles is 10 times more contagious than the flu, a sick person can infect up to 20 people. It spreads very easily from person to person through the air when coughing, sneezing, mouchage, or by contact with contaminated objects (toys, handkerchiefs, ...). If you think you have measles or if you have been in contact with an infected person, contact your doctor promptly and let them know before you move. He will be able to adapt its mode of consultation in order to limit the risk of contagion. A mandatory reporting by health professionals measles is a notifiable disease. Reporting to the ARS by health professionals who suspect or diagnose a case of measles is fundamental because it allows for the rapid implementation of preventive measures around a case in order to limit the spread of the virus.

"6246","The death from measles of a man, 42 years old, not vaccinated and immunedepressed, it is not only a news story because it should serve as a stimulus for a more profound reflection on the part of all, and in particular the steadfast supporters of the law about vaccines, approved by a majority last July, as well as the ultras no-vaxx. It is not clear how and by whom is infected and the man of Catania, it is evident that the death confirms that the law is in the wrong part, limited. Especially on measles. According to the Istituto Superiore di Sanita is the fourth episode of death caused by the disease. Now to the part that the number is debatable because some cases are unclear - such as the death of the little dead body of the Infant Jesus of Rome, of which it became known only after two months - it is evident once again that the population at risk is not just that of children and adolescents, immunosuppressed, but also in adulthood. He was, unknowingly, the same Institute to confirm the hazard-general of the measles when providing data on data to convince the public of the presence of a health emergency. Only that those numbers have been used as a cudgel against parents of unruly or hesitant, forgetting the rest. That is, school personnel and health care and all adults in general. On the other hand, even if the incidence is greater among the small children, the numbers say that the median age of patients with measles is 27 years old. As not to understand that the obligation had to, and should, be extended to all? I have often repeated this concept. Even when there were cases of measles among the champions, our Team of water Polo, and one of the employees of the hotels of Vietri sul mare. But no: the goal was to impose - unnecessarily - 10 vaccines to all children (adolescents are ""vaccinated"" if they pay a fine from 100 to 500€: a ridicolaggine all-round), because there was not a health problem to be solved, but a political goal to be achieved, making it appear certain political forces anti-vacciniste. One of my friend homeopath (in spite of the ignorant and troublemakers who consider these physicians opposed to vaccination), defines the anti-measles vaccine essential. Already: if it was added to the quadrivalente mandatory (which, however, is administered only as chromium), only the measles vaccine, (extend to the entire population), are convinced of it - even if it lacks the test - which the dissent, on the contrary, the opposition of thousands and thousands of families, there would have been. And instead, it is willed a test of strength. They are equally certain that those who fight for free choice, an evident danger the public health, would not doubt to declare themselves favourable to vaccination generalized. However I do not know if in the near future there will be some re-thinking, positive, on the law. But I do not do many illusions. As should not be too many illusions of those who believe in the unconstitutionality of the 119. Not being an expert on the subject I expressed superficially. For example, I think that if they had denied the attendance of the school of the obligation to non-vaccinated, it would have created an obvious conflict between the right to health and right to education. With nurseries, this contradiction is more subtle, less clear. In any case, in November the council will give its opinion. And we will see what she will say. In the meantime, they could extend the obligation of anti-measles to those who work in the schools and, above all, in hospitals, and in healthcare personnel were registered 300 cases of the disease. But to convince the doctors that they must get vaccinated - what's that do almost never: preach well and to scratch around evil - the minister has not tried even remotely. guglielmpepe@gmail.com @pepe_guglielmo (twitter) Written in uncategorized | 32 Comments """,72,"italy"

France is currently experiencing an upsurge in drastic cases of measles. In a report published Thursday, 28 February, Unicef presents many of the risks of this disease, and deplores a tendency at the global level : 98 countries have reported a greater number of cases of measles in 2018 than in 2017. Therefore, we are not the only ones, but the NGO points out that France is part of the ten countries responsible for three-quarters of the total increase in cases in 2018. A real cry of alarm, when this disease is highly preventable, is still potentially deadly. Still 136 000 people died of measles last year Apart from France, is contained in these ten countries are the Ukraine, the Philippines and Brazil, which have experienced the highest annual increase in cases. Then comes Yemen, Venezuela, Serbia, Madagascar, Sudan and Thailand. In 2018, 35.120 cases have been reported in the Ukraine alone, or about 30,000 more than in 2017. And according to the Ukrainian government, 24.042 additional people were infected during the first two months of 2019. In the Philippines, so far this year, 12.736 measles cases and 203 death have been identified, against 15.599 for the whole of 2018.

We have a vaccine that is safe, effective, and inexpensive compared to a highly contagious disease - a vaccine that has saved nearly a million lives each year over the past two decades,"" said Henrietta Fore, director general of Unicef. Coming back on the balance sheet as of 2018, it added that ""these cases did not occur overnight. Just at the time when the serious epidemics which we observe today occurred in 2018, the lack of action today will have disastrous consequences for the children of tomorrow"" The increase of epidemics of measles is the result of several factors, listed by Unicef (without detailing what has been the impact of each of these factors in the different countries affected). Overall, the UN agency cited ""the poor infrastructure of health, civil unrest, low community awareness, the complacency and reluctance in the face of vaccination"". In the developed countries and especially in France, this increase is related to concerns regarding vaccines, and the reduction in its use, sometimes related to allegations without medical basis linking the measles vaccine - MMR - to-autism. This false information is being widely relayed on the social networks as a common idea, either through ignorance or ideology, as do members of the movement, said the ""anti-vax"". As recalled in the press release, Unicef, the measles is more contagious than Ebola, tuberculosis or the flu. The virus can be contracted for up to two hours after the start of an infected person, because it spreads through the air and infects the respiratory tract. Once infected, there is no specific treatment for measles, potentially resulting in the death of malnourished children, or babies too young to be vaccinated. ""Measles is perhaps the disease, but all too often, the real infection is the misinformation, distrust, and complacency."" said Henrietta Fore. ""We must do more to inform with accuracy each parent, to help us vaccinate every child in safety."" The drafting of the LCI",71,"france"

"23110","The people who had measles had not been vaccinated, they may have a harder time fighting other infections by viruses, bacteria and beyond. The two works are independent, which were published on Thursday in Science, Immunology, and the Science has shown that infection with mva induces a sort of amnesia and immune systems in the long run. The team, Velislava Petrova, a researcher at the Institute, Wellcome trust Sanger showed that infection with measles causes a sort of cleansing of the memory of the immune system, causing unvaccinated children to be with an immune system like a baby for that little bit of contact had to do with a virus or bacteria. When the body comes into contact with a virus or bacteria, the new is a response to an immediate and non-specific immune system against the agent and a stranger. After that, the immune system and create more responses specific against the pathogen (cause of disease), and stores the information in the next status, the response will be more rapid. The one is the work of Velislava Petrova recorded in the 26 children studied both before and after disease, the cells of the memory (for other diseases) have all but disappeared after the infection with the measles. As a result, to an infection that the body had learned to fight, the immune system will already know how to do it, and it will behave as if you had never seen one micro-organism before. In a situation that could be as much as five years after infection with measles. The team at Michael Mina, an investigator at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and Harvard Medical School (Boston) came to a similar conclusion after a study of 77 children did not receive the vaccine, either before or after they have had the measles. The antibodies are recovered, of course, but it was only after the children have contact with the microorganisms in the system. “The measles, has caused the elimination of the 11 to 73 per cent in the number of antibodies in such individuals,” wrote the team at Michael Mina's in the article. Another one of the points that are relevant to the work of Michael Mina, is that the measles vaccine doesn't cause this or in the process of the immune system, reinforcing the importance of what the children have to be vaccinated not only to protect themselves against infection from measles, but for other types of infections. Nikolai Petrovsky, of the School of Medicine and Public Health, University of Flinders (Australia), did not participate in the trial, but he took the opportunity to warn us about the wrong messages that are passed to it where it states that it is better for the child not to be vaccinated, and to have a natural immunity through contact with that disease. “Not only does the infection, the natural is exposing young children to the potentially devastating consequences of becoming infected with measles, but, as has been highlighted here, it is going to weaken and not to strengthen the immune system,” he said. “Thus, even if you are lucky enough to escape the serious consequences of the infection in the primary, they are more susceptible to catching other infections, thanks to the suppression of immune systems in the long term, caused by the hiv infection at the primary level.” Europe is facing at the moment, there was an outbreak of measles in the first six months of 2019 at the latest, there were more cases than during the entire year of 2018. The United kingdom, germany, Greece, the Czech Republic, and Albania, which have already been considered to be the countries with the disease is eliminated, it no longer has this status, with regard to the World Health Organization.

Although this is a significant achievement, she stressed that it was important not to become complacent about the risks of measles.  “This is a huge achievement and a testament to all the hard work by our health professionals in the NHS to ensure that all children and adults are fully protected with two doses of the MMR vaccine.  ”We need to ensure that this is sustained going forward by maintaining and improving coverage of the MMR vaccine in children and by catching up older children and young adults who missed out”.

(source: https://sundhedsstyrelsen.dk/publ/publ2000/vaccine_org/clean.html) In an article in Ugeskrift for Doctors, the 29. september 1980, was made a review of the maslingetilfaldene in Copenhagen over a 10-year period from 1969-1978. 1215 patients were hospitalized with measles in this period and the number of maslingetilfalde in the greater copenhagen area is estimated to have been about 120,000 total. 17 of these patients had acute encephalitis, which is to say, that there is a hyppighedsrate of 0,14 ‰. A third of these had sequelae after encephalitis. It is equivalent to that 1 out of 7000 maslingeramte get encephalitis. SSI's frequency of encephalitis caused by measles is therefore almost 3 times higher than those we found in this publication from the Danish Health and medicines authority. Approx. 1 out of 21.000 got sequelae after encephalitis. The publication mentions, incidentally, that ”both the maslingesygdommen as its sequelae shows the very large geographical and temporal variations especially depending on the nutritional status, hygiene, social conditions and other environmental factors”. Factors that are improved through time and, hence, must mean a further reduced risk of the day. The mortality due to measles In the latest publication (2015) from Statens Serum Institut (SSI) is the risk of maslingedodsfald in Denmark has been changed from 1 out of 3000, which stood for 28 years on the SSI's website. SSI writes: ”In countries with good hospitalsstandard which in Denmark would have children die of measles, but deaths will still occur among 1 out of 2.500-12.000 maslingetilfalde, depending on whether one uses the Danish historical or current european figures for the death rate. In developing countries, the mortality rate is unfortunately much higher, between 1 and 5 per 100 maslingetilfalde.” (source: http://www.ssi.dk/Smitteberedskab/Om monitoring/Maeslingetema.aspx) We could wish for a unique and reliable figures for Denmark on the basis of the Danish statistics, but you are confusing different countries, and also the categories ’historical’ and ’current’ figures. Thus we have the Danish ’historical’ and ’current european’ figures. This can be used to mislead in several ways, we saw it most recently in connection with the maslingeudbruddet in the beginning of 2015 in Germany. Here points to that there was 1 death out of 500 (later 7-800) maslingetilfalde, which femdobler the ’current’ european mortality rate, which now is no longer 1 to 2,500, but have been conjured on to 1 to 500. In the same breath warn you that this epidemic, with its extremely high mortality rate already knocking on the door to Denmark, if we don't all immediately become vaccinated. You can also manipulate just by to withhold the number, that do not sell the message. An article in the newspaper Politiken reveals that the SSI has been very slow to include the historical calculations, which has resulted in the figure of 1/12.000 for Denmark. You can in the link below read afdelingslage with SSI, Palle Valentiner Branths assurances of openness and neutrality and judge for yourself whether his explanation of why we have had to wait 28 years in this fairly simple calculation, seems credible. www.politiken.dk/forbrugogliv/sundhedogmotion/ECE2676959/statens-serum-institut-aendrer-tal-for-maeslingsdoed/ the lower The incidence of measles and maslingedodsfald becomes, the easier it becomes to manipulate with the ’current’ figures. If we f. ex. put that Denmark has 50 maslingetilfalde per year, it would be 500-maslingetilfalde of ten years. If, therefore, occurs only a death in connection with a maslingetilfalde in the course of the next ten years, the death rate in Denmark suddenly be increased fireogtyvefold from 1/12.000 to 1/500. And because it is now over a ten year period, you can even pretend that it is a ’historical’ figures. In reality, the Danish low maslingeincidens to calculate over much longer time periods, than in the days when we had tens of thousands of maslingetilfalde annually. Is a death out of 12,000 maslingetilfalde as the last word? Probably not. If we look at the statistics for the whole of the century, we see a sharp decline in the deaths per. number of maslingetilfalde since 1930: A death per 54 maslingetilfalde in 1880-89 1 per 65 maslingetilfalde in 1890-99 1 per 106 maslingetilfalde in 1900-09 1 per 205 maslingetilfalde in 1910-19 1 per 136 maslingetilfalde in 1920-29 1 per 304 maslingetilfalde in 1930-39 1 per 1.057 maslingetilfalde in 1940-49 1 per 3.294 maslingetilfalde in 1950-59 1 per 12.114 maslingetilfalde in the 1960-86 (Source: http://www.ssi.dk/Smitteberedskab/Om monitoring/Maeslingetema.aspx) It seems reasonable to assume that the falling trend has continued, so that for the last decade, from 1976-86, deaths due to measles even lower than 1 to 12,000. And as we must also assume that we have made health and medical advances in the 30 years from 1986 to 2016, is it temporally to assume that SSI's figures of mortality from measles is high. In the next section, we focus further on the figures for the latter part of the period up to maslingevaccinen was introduced in 1987. Inconsistencies in the official maslingetal SSI writes in the Theme of the measles, 2015: ”In the period 1960 to 1986 there was a total of 85 deaths due to measles and thus of 3.3 deaths per year. In the same period, there was 1.039.378 cases of measles, equivalent to 1 death per 12.114 maslingetilfalde There are several possible reasons for the decline in mortality, including increased access to the use of antibiotics and improved intensive care and supportive treatment of severely ill children.” http://www.ssi.dk/Smitteberedskab/Om monitoring/Maeslingetema.aspx But how to get SSI until there was 1.039.378 maslingetilfalde in the year, when second, it was not notification for measles for all years, partly a unknown large part, who have not had medical attendance? The authorities expect normally that about 98 % of the population have had the measles. In the period 1960-1986, was, according to statistics Denmark, born approximately 1.85 million children. So that accounts for the whole period between 1960-1986 85 deaths out of almost 1.85 million, not just the 1.039.78 notified cases, as SSI plan. However, one should take into account that one so small was starting to vaccinate from 1982, so we can round down to 85 deaths out of 1.8 million are infected It gives a mortality rate of 1/21.000 and not 1/12.114. ’Classic Measles’ on the way out? If we zoom even closer in and look at the last 12 years before the vaccine was introduced, from 1975-87, change the numbers again. Find here about 1 death annually in the place of 3,3, so if we are only looking at the period, the death rate detailed 1/40-45.000, as we again remember that at that time began to be vaccinated so small. For the last part of the period up to maslingevaccinen was introduced in Denmark was dodraten therefore so low, that you hardly can say something statistically meaningful about it. You can claim it was the vaccines that finally got the better of measles in Denmark, but there is also evidence to say that measles, at least as we know the disease, was already on the way to disappear by itself with a mortality rate that was shrunk from 1 out of 65 cases to 1 out of 40,000 cases of 80 years.",70,"denmark"

"6256","“Measles can still kill you”. Interview with Davi Kopenawa Health and the Environment. The editorial From the amazon rainforest a “lesson” shamanic health and respect for man and the environment. “The epidemic (we call it Xawarari) is a fog, a thick smoke and nauseating that it propagates through the forest. It is made of the diseases that we didn't know, you call them pneumonia, tuberculosis, and measles. They have already killed many of us, in both Brazil and Venezuela (the two countries share the ancestral lands of Yanomami indians, today, only about 33,000 people survived the invasion and deforestation ndr)”. Davi Kopenawa for the uncertain register of the brazilian has 63 years. It is a great shaman Yanomami, a traditional doctor so that one day nearly 40 years ago – in his twenties – met the contemporary French anthropologist Bruce Albert and decided to open with him a sincere dialogue and deep that, in the course of these many years, has generated a beautiful book, finally published now also in Italy, “the fall of The sky. The words of a shaman, Yanomami” (translation by Alessandro Palmieri and Alessandro Lucera, Edizioni Nottetempo). It speaks to us in the milan office of Survival International, as always, by the side of the indigenous populations in every part of the world, that has followed the journey of Kopenawa in Italy. “The disease spreads, with the presence of large mines, the pollution from coal and oil, the presence of thousands of garimpeiros (miners ndr). Our doctors do not know how to heal them, and to know the remedies of the forest where these diseases did not exist before their arrival.” The dialogue with Davi interview, short story, testimony and many other things together. It is the guardian of history and of the existence of his people, is now seriously threatened, he was entrusted with a mission supreme: “be an arrow launched at the heart of the people of the city (western ed) to break his indifference, to give a hope of survival for the Yanomami, who are struggling for life”. We follow his gaze while he speaks to us with concentration, her dark eyes, which have seen “dance of the spirits of the forest on the water, among the leaves” follow the thoughts that it wants to communicate to us “the people of goods”. “I want whites to stop thinking that our forest is dead, that is there without reason. I would like to listen to the voices of the spirits Xapiri, who play tirelessly, dancing on their mirrors sparkling”. Kopenawa does not mince words, “if the white ostineranno to destroy the forest, the rivers will disappear underground, the soil will become crumbly, and the trees rinsecchiranno and the stones will split from the heat. The parched land will become empty and silent. The words of Claude Levi Strauss in 1993 is clearly present in the Davi, is the deeper meaning, the message that he brings with his journey to the West “Yanomami shaman does not separate his fate from that of the rest of humanity...desperately Trying to preserve its beliefs and its rituals, the shaman Yanomami believed to work also for the salvation of his most cruel enemies... This conception of solidarity and of human diversity is striking for its size”.

"6271","ARE up in 2018, the vaccination coverage of children and adolescents in Italy with respect to the 2017. But it continues to be a cause for concern the failure to achieve the objective, in all the age groups considered. It is, as is evident from the data prepared by the Directorate general of health prevention of the ministry of Health.In most of the Regions the coverage to 24 months of age against polio (used as an indicator for the vaccinations contained in the chromium) exceeds the minimum threshold recommended by the world health Organisation, 95%, and two Regions (Valle d'aosta P. A. Trento) are next to the lens, remain, however, four Regions (Friuli Venezia Giulia, Marche, Sicily and the Veneto) with a coverage below the threshold, and the PA. Bolzano with a cover (83,33) still far from the target. National coverage at 24 months (for children born in 2016) against polio reached 95% (95,09%), gaining a 0,48% compared to 2017, and with 14 Regions that exceed the 95% and 2 approach (Vda and Trento). While the coverage for the first dose of vaccine against measles comes only to the 93,22% (with a 1,38% compared to the previous year) in relation to the 95% needed to eliminate the disease, while the P. A. Bolzano has a coverage of less than 90%.Improved lea 36 months (relative to children born in the year 2015) and 48 months (children born in 2014), and are recognised to verify the recovery activities in the children failing to comply: the anti-polio passes from 93,33% (given at 24 months detected to 31 December 2016) to 96,01% and the anti-measles from 87,26% to 94,93%, with a gain respectively, 2.68% and 7,67%. For the cohorts of the birth later recorded recoveries of cover, even if it does not reach the target of 95%. With regard to vaccinations in pre-school children, generally administered at 5-6 years of age (children born in the year of 2011), there is a, from 2.01% for the fourth dose of anti-polio (90,71% in 2018 compared to 88,69% in 2017) and 3,47% for the second dose (cycle complete) of anti-measles (89,20% in 2018 compared to 85,74% in 2017). For the vaccinations performed within 8 years (children born in 2010) to record a recovery: for example, coverage against polio (fourth dose) earn a 3,49% to reach 92,18%) and measles (second dose) a 4,27%, reaching the 90,01% (compared to the figure recorded as at 31 December 2017 in the same cohort).To ensure full implementation throughout the national territory, the minister of Health, Giulia Grillo, has signed the decree for the allocation of funds for the collection of data to be entered in the Register of the national vaccines by age vaccine regional: the measure will soon be published in the Official Journal.",70,"italy"
"6280","Article by Sofia Lincos and Giuseppe Stilo on The 7th of February, the Regional Office for Europe of the World Health Organization, (WHO/WHO) issued a press release that explains the contradictory situation in the fight against measles in the Old Continent. Increases in a way that is clear in the vaccination coverage, which reached in 2017 to its historical highs, the 90%. At the same time, however, in 2018, growing, especially in some parts of Europe (with notable differences even within the same Country), as well as the registered cases of infection for the disease. This apparent paradox is not surprising, since the population of persons susceptible to measles is not uniformly distributed on the european territory. As he explains Graziella Morace, senior researcher at the National Centre for the Control and Evaluation of Drugs (Higher Institute of Health): although the vaccination coverage increased in most of the european Countries, because it has exceeded the threshold of 95% of the vaccinated is necessary to stop the circulation of the virus in the community, this situation is unfortunately not uniform, as in others, including Italy, continue to experience outbreaks due to the vaccine coverage is incomplete. In fact, only 19 Countries on the 53 that have joined the european plan of action vaccine (EVAP, European Vaccin Action Plan 2015-2020) have administered the two doses of the vaccine required to at least 95% of the population. In the remaining 34 states, including Italy, the rate of vaccination continues to be below this threshold. If the measles virus reaches one of these pockets where coverage is not sufficient, continues to circulate and can cause outbreaks of the disease. For this, the WHO has launched an appeal to european governments to do something in a specific way in the geographic areas and between social groups is still significantly below the european averages. In Europe in 2018 are death for measles 72 people. A number equal to 82.596 individuals in 47 of the 53 Countries considered has contracted the virus, and nearly two-thirds of these it becomes necessary for the hospitalization. Italy contributes to the calculation with about 2500 cases. Continuous Gabriella Morace: According to the last bulletin of the Institute of Health, in 2018 have occurred in our Country, 2526 cases of measles with 8 deaths, of which 90,1% were individuals who were not vaccinated, 6% had received only one dose of the vaccine, and the 1.5% to 2 doses. All regions have reported cases of measles, but most occurred in five (Sicily, Campania, Lazio, Calabria and Lombardia), with almost 80% of the cases. Our Country is in fifth place for the number of people infected (the first is the Ukraine, with 53.218 cases, followed by Serbia, Israel, France, and Italy). The peaks occurred in the months of April and may 2018, respectively, 467 and 429 cases). The most dramatic and most worrying is that the total number of infected persons in Europe is the greater of the current decade, the triple with respect to 2017 and even fifteen times higher than it was in 2016, when it was touched the least of the events. This despite the fact that – to talk about good news – in 2017 can be achieved, as we said, the maximum altitude recorded of persons who have received the second dose of the vaccine (90%). For the first dose, the rate now affects 95%. The World Health Organization does not hide that these positive figures cannot conceal the gap vaccination is also important within individual Countries. The alarm bell, continues the press release, lies in the fact that sometimes these gaps are not identified with clarity from the national health authorities, and them it turns out only when there are clusters of cases (groups of cases are very close together) or even a real outbreak. According to the dr. ssa Zsuzsanna Jakab, WHO regional director for Europe, “these gap local leave the door open to viruses”, what is the progress made in immunization, and vaccine are not currently considered to be entirely satisfactory. The coverage is not optimal for both doses, unfortunately, is a lens that is large enough for a future transmission of the disease. The European Vaccin Action Plan 2015-2020 the WHO aims to eradicate measles and chicken pox across the continent within two years, but to do this, it is necessary that at least 95% of the population is made immune through the inoculation of two doses of vaccine or a previous exposure to the virus). Among other things, these proportions would be needed to achieve a general protection of the community, covering as well the children too young to be vaccinated, or those people, not vaccinabili because of serious diseases or conditions, which, however, do not recommend vaccination.

"23211","Europe is experiencing a surge in cases of measles, and the disease re-emerged in all four countries, including the United Kingdom, where it was considered to be deleted, warned on Thursday the World Health Organization (WHO), calling for the stepping up for the shot. In the world, and the number of cases is the highest since 2006. The WHO has recorded 89.994 cases of measles in the 48 countries of europe in the first half of 2019, more than double that of the same period of the previous year (44.175), and most of that is in the year 2018 (84.462). And at the global level, the number of cases reported up to June 2019 at the latest (about 364 million) is the highest since 2006, and noted at the press conference, Kate O'brien, the head of the department of immunization and vaccines for the organization. The first, in the transmission of measles, it is a matter of major concern if we are unable to establish and maintain high coverage of immunization in the community, both young and old, will have needless suffering, and some of you will be doomed to a tragic death,” he warned in turn Günter Pfaff, chair of the Regional Committee, for the purposes of Verifying the Elimination of Measles and Rubella. Based on the numbers, in 2018 at the earliest, the disease is no longer considered to be “eliminated” in the United Kingdom, germany, Greece, the Czech Republic, and Albania. To the world health organization, the state of the “deletion” is the absence of continuous transmission for 12 months in one specific geographic area. In the United Kingdom have been reported 953 cases in the year 2018 (489 as of 1 January 2019 at the latest), while 2.193 have been reported in Germany (28), 1.466, in Albania (475), and 217 in the Czech Republic (569). “Each and every one of these countries, it is an example of national coverage of immunization is extremely high, so there are examples of countries with systems that are particularly weak (in health),” said Kate O'brien, the director of the department of immunization of the world health organization. “I don't think that this is a warning to the world: it is not enough to achieve high coverage, it should be done in all of the communities and the families,” he said. In the first half of 2019, as much as 78% of the cases have been reported in four outbreaks of infection: Kazakhstan, Georgia, Russia, and Ukraine, which account for 60% of the time. Measles is considered eliminated in 35 of the 53 countries in the region. They were 37 countries in this ranking in the fall of 2017. It is a disease that is endemic in 12 countries, including France and Germany, where vaccination is expected to become mandatory as of march of the year 2020. In Austria and Switzerland, have achieved the status of “the erased” after the show, the interruption of ongoing transmission for at least 36 months. Portugal also has such a status, and there has been a reversal of this trend in europe and in the world. According to a report by the WHO, until the beginning of August, and were confirmed in the Uk in 10 cases of the disease. In the whole of last year and have been 171 confirmed cases. Portugal has had in the last year, three measles outbreaks, which are, however, of the Directorate-general of Health has declared it extinct. All in all, the number of reported cases has tripled in the period between 1 January and 31 July 2018 at the latest (129.239), and in the first seven months of this year 364.808). The most numerous were registered in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Madagascar, and Ukraine. The United States has had the highest number of reported cases of measles in the last 25 years. The WHO estimates that less than one out of every 10 cases are reported all over the world, which means that the scale of the epidemic is much higher than the official statistics indicate. A specialized agency of the UN, it is estimated that, in fact, occur in some of the 6.7 million deaths per year are related to the measles, "" said O'brien. Measles is on the rise again all over the world because of poor access to health care and distrust of the vaccine. By 2016, however, it was in decline. In western countries, a “antivacinas claim that there is a link between the measles vaccine and autism. Most of the time, the WHO has denied this theory, which is based on a study of counterfeit. A extremely contagious and it might lead to serious complications, sometimes fatal (37 in Europe in the first half of this year, and to 74 by 2018) measles is usually spread by direct contact or through the air to infect the respiratory tract, spreading through the body. In Europe, the majority of infected people have at least 19 years of age (60% of the cases).

In accordance with the notice of the Pediatrics Company, two of the viruses them (Coxsackie A16 and Enterovirus 71) are responsible for most cases of of the disease of hand, foot and mouth. It's a mild childhood disease which usually affects children from 6 months up to 5 years but can manifest in children up to 10 years. In adults occurs rarely, usually with milder or atypical symptoms, is transmitted to you quite easily. The virus can be detected in the mouth, nose, faeces and in the bubbles that are present on the palms and soles. Therefore is transmitted by the cough, the sneeze, the kiss, the sharing of objects (glasses, dishes, toys), direct contact with the skin bubbles (if they break) and end with the faeces of the patient. The transmission is usually the first 7 days, rarely up to 2-3 weeks. Several children may not show symptoms or may show very few and slight, that to remain undetected. In several cases, however, the child has a fever, not necessarily tall, which lasts 2-3 days, is unwell, and pissed-off. After one to two days, occur in the mouth (gums, tongue and inside of the lips and of the cheeks) small red bumps, blisters or even ulcers (aphthae). At the same time appears a rash on the palms, soles, and in some children in the area of the knee, the elbow, and perinatal region. Up to the age of 5 years most children came into contact with the virus and acquired a lifelong immunity (for the particular strain). Pregnant women who come into contact with the virus does not appear to be at any risk. The treatment is based on antipyretics and good hydration, Antibiotics are not administered. As noted by the academy of Pediatrics, vaccine for the disease does not exist so we have to strictly follow the basic rules of hygiene, i.e., good and frequent hand washing, good cleaning and disinfection of any object that has been soiled with secretions from nose, mouth or faeces, a good cleaning and hand-washing after changing a diaper or using the toilet. Also, the affected child should not share the same towels, toothbrushes or drinking glasses with other people and must remain at home for 7 days or for at least 3 days after the fall of the fever. Outbreak of measles in Europe In relation to the measles epidemic that is ongoing from 2016 in a large number of European countries , the academy of Pediatrics states that it is a viral infection of high transmission, which can cause serious complications, and even death, especially in young ages and in young adults. In Cyprus in the last year were just 3 incidents, with a good outcome, for which it seems that the focus of transmission was abroad. Although the vaccination coverage is high enough, the risk of measles there and is real, so that encouraged parents not to vaccinate their children in the appropriate age to do so as soon as possible. As to the issue of a possible risk of travel in areas of countries that is in progress, the epidemic, recalled the importance of the coverage with two doses of the vaccine, for both children and adults. The first dose of the vaccine administered at the age of 13-15 months and the second at the age of 4-5 years (in special cases the vaccination can be administered from the age of 6 months and the second dose given one month after the first). For the case of unvaccinated infants, incompletely vaccinated children or incompletely vaccinated adults who will travel to endemic for measles areas we encourage communication with your personal Pediatrician or the local Health Centers for further information. The transmission of measles is primarily person-to-person by droplets expelled the patients and less often with objects that were infected very recently from nasal and <U+03C6><U+03B1><U+03C1><U+03C5><U+03B3><U+03B3><U+03B9><U+03BA><U+03AD><U+03C2> secretions. The incubation period (the time from the transmission up to the manifestation of symptoms) is 10-12 days from exposure to the virus until the appearance of the rash involved an average of 14 days (7-18 days). Measles has a very high transmissibility with a probability of infection of up to 90% of susceptible persons (i.e. persons who have not been immunized either naturally or by vaccination) which come in contact with a patient. The transmission is made 4 days before the onset of the rash until 4 days after. The maximum of the transmission is placed from the beginning of the precursor stage up to 3-4 days after appearance of rash. The vaccine virus has not proved to be contagious and the vaccine offers very high protection (>95% in vaccinated with two doses). According to the World Health Organization during the period 2016-17 recorded in Europe, over 19,000 cases of measles and 46 deaths. The most numerous were registered in Romania (9,728) with 35 deaths, and in Italy (4,775) with 4 deaths. In Greece, from the beginning of May 2017 up to 3 December 2017 have been recorded 690 cases with 2 deaths. In the vast majority, at 81%, are young children, unfortunately, unvaccinated but were observed several incidents and in the age group of 25-44 years of age that relate to individuals unvaccinated or incompletely vaccinated.

"2574","published the 29/08/2019 at 18:01 This is a spawn that is of concern. The world health Organization has noted that Europe was experiencing an outbreak of measles and this disease comes in four countries, including the United Kingdom, where it was considered to be eliminated. With nearly 90,000 cases of measles recorded in the first half of 2019, it has already overtaken the number of cases recorded for the year 2018 full (about 85.000). On the basis of the figures of 2018, the disease is no longer considered ""eliminated"" in the United Kingdom, Greece, Czech Republic and Albania. For WHO, the status of""removal"" corresponds to the absence of continuous transmission for 12 months in a particular geographic area. In France, the disease is considered ""endemic"". The Directorate-general of health (DGS), which is attached by RTL.fr indicates that ""we are currently in an epidemic phase of measles in France, even if the number of cases has been decreasing since week 21 (18-24 may 2019). The epidemic could restart at the end of the year or early next year, a time more conducive to the transmission of measles."" 25 cases were reported in week 32 (5-11 August) compared to 151 cases in week 21. A situation very guarded in France As indicated in public Health France, 2.381 cases of measles have been reported since the January 1, 2019, of which : 694 (29 %) required hospitalization (31 resuscitation (cpr), 167 cases (7 %) gave rise to a complication of pneumonia and 3 cases of encephalitis, including 2 deaths (encephalitis, subacute to inclusions of two young adults, immunocompromised). The French authorities say they closely monitor the situation of measles in France. ""They have received instructions in order to combat this epidemic, indicates the DGS. As such, the health authorities undertake the necessary investigations to implement the management measures. They may in particular carry out vaccination campaigns exceptional around active outbreaks of measles."" ""The situation has a weekly follow-up during the weekly meeting of food safety headed by the director-general of health, adds the DGS. Measles is a notifiable disease for health professionals."" This means that the data collected are comprehensive and give a real outline of the situation. The vaccination, the best tool against the measles, The Directorate-general of health noted that the coverage recommended for measles since 1983 but mandatory from 2018 to young children, is ""too little."" It states that ""this situation is tied in large part to the lack of vaccination of certain groups of the population, in particular young adults who either are not vaccinated or have only received a single dose (following the recommendation of a second dose dating back to 1996)."" There is no curative treatment, according to the WHO, but only a vaccine ""effective and safe"". To hope to eradicate the transmission of the disease, it is necessary that at least 95 % of the population is vaccinated.",69,"france"

"2576","Between 1 November 2017 and 18 January 2018, 123 cases of measles have been identified, of which 81% in New Aquitaine, according to the ARS in this region. The departments of the Gironde and Vienna are the most affected, but more than half of the departments have reported isolated cases of measles and can therefore appear at any point and trigger an outbreak. New Aquitaine region, the epidemic continues to progress, with a doubling of cases since a month : 269 cases in total are now identified in the region. The disease is serious because nearly a quarter of the patients are hospitalized : 66 patients were hospitalized and four were placed in intensive care, in which a young woman is not vaccinated for 32 years who is deceased. At the same time, according to Public Health France, it is 519 cases have been reported in France by 2017, 41% of whom had to be hospitalized, mainly in children under 5 years of age and more than 20 years. Except 2 households located in Moselle, and in Alsace, the majority of the cases is observed to the south of the Loire. A disease that leads to hospitalization In France, in 2017, measles is certainly not trivial : on the 208 hospitalized patients, mainly children under 5 years of age or adults over the age of 20. Among these, 27%, 53 patients had serious complications : 4 encephalitis, and 38 pneumonia severe. Six patients had to be admitted in the intensive care unit and a patient died. The population most affected is without doubt the children under the age of 1 year with 12% of reported cases (61 cases). If the disease is galloping in New Aquitaine, more than half the French departments have reported at least one case of measles. The outbreaks grow mainly in the places of grouping according to Public Health France : nursery schools, schools, universities, health care institutions, communities of people of the travel... immunization coverage French very late, Especially, it appears that, of the cases of measles 2017, two-thirds were not at all vaccinated, and only 8% were reported to have received 2 doses required for the vaccine. Gold, according to all the experts, with a virus as contagious as the measles, a virus that is circulating in eastern Europe, it is necessary to have at least 95% of the population vaccinated to eradicate this epidemic of measles and protect children under the age of 12 months who cannot be immunized. The interruption of the circulation of endemic measles is one of the objectives of the WHO for the European region. In France, a national plan of disposal was put in place in 2005, specifying a target of 95% vaccination coverage at 2 years of age. Unfortunately, in 2017, no department achieved the targets of 95%, and France remains a country endemic for measles. According to a survey SpF-Dees, only 90.5% of children 2 years of age received one dose and 78.8 per cent of the 2 doses necessary. For caregivers, it is not better outside of the wise-women who are almost to the objectives (92.7 per cent). And this is in clear contrast with the northern countries of Europe, like the netherlands, reaching a vaccination coverage of 95%, have eradicated the disease in them. Agnes Buzyn calls to the catch-up vaccination on Wednesday morning, on France Inter, the minister of health, Agnes Buzyn, coming to talk to the health care reform. She was asked about the case of the 32-year old woman died of the measles in Vienna and that would have been contaminated at the hospital. It has reserved its judgment on the potential contamination of this young woman to the hospital because she is waiting for a feedback from the nursing staff. However, it was much more affirmative on the need to do a catch-up vaccination among non-vaccinated, in addition to the compulsory vaccination of children since the 1st of January. In fact, with the dispute and the release of the immunization policy of recent years, there is a whole segment of the young population that is not vaccinated (between 15% and 20%), while the counter-actual data are extremely rare. A loosening of the generalized vis-a-vis the vaccination Several explanations are advanced by one and the other to the French situation : the collapse of the medical school with follow-up of children less rigorous, trivialization of the risk and indifference of the parents, a general feeling anti-vaccines to be relayed by the social networks... According to the saying of ""there's no smoke without fire"", a lot of parents who read here or there of the rants of anti-vaccine to say that there may be something. Result, a whole segment of the population has not been vaccinated and she has between 20 and 40 years old, an age where measles is serious when it is contracted, which explains the very unusual hospitalization. While a widespread epidemic of measles has all the necessary conditions for getting (insufficient coverage, population migration, insecurity of certain populations), compulsory vaccination of children is not sufficient and a catch up is well needed. A catch-up generalized is to make health professionals and, in particular, absolutely need to update their immunizations, because they will be first exposed, and the potential vectors from the subjects weakened. When asked by an auditor on the case of a person who has already done the measles, the minister said on France Inter that a few cases of people who contracted measles in childhood, and therefore ""naturally immunized"" had been a measles because but immunity was then lost because of the aging of the immune system with a risk of vulnerability such that it was appropriate to vaccinate the entourage to protect them. The High Authority of Health (HAS) reminds us that it is possible to vaccinate within 72 hours after contact with a sick infected people over 6 months are not protected against measles. ",69,"france"

We observed the highest incidence in children under 1 year : to 20.5 cases/100,000 inhabitants. In total, 21 % of reported cases were hospitalized, and 88 % of measles cases occurred in people not or poorly vaccinated. Traditionally, the regimen consists of the injection of a dose of MMR vaccine (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) at 12 months and then a second injection between 16 and 18 months. For people who have never been vaccinated against measles, catch-up is possible. It consists of the injection of two doses of vaccine at least one month apart. In the event of an outbreak, it is possible to receive the vaccine up to 72 hours after contact with a person suffering from measles to prevent the occurrence of the disease (catch-up vaccination). Public health France recalls ""the need for an immunization coverage is very high in the population (at least 95% with two doses of the vaccine in children and young adults). Such collective protection would eliminate the disease and its complications and to protect also the the most fragile people that cannot be immunized (infants under one year, pregnant women, immunocompromised persons)"". Since January 1, 2018, vaccination against measles is part of 11 mandatory vaccinations for the infant. Measles is not a disease of childhood, benign measles is an infectious disease caused by a highly contagious virus that affected previously, especially young children from the age of 5-6 months. This is no longer the case : a third of the reported cases concerning persons over the age of 15. A sick person can contaminate up to 20. Measles is 10 times more contagious than the flu. It spreads very easily from person to person through the air when coughing, sneezing, or by contact with contaminated objects (toys, handkerchiefs...). Often mistakenly regarded as benign, ""measles is not a childhood disease, it also applies to teenagers and young adults and may cause serious complications (pneumonia, encephalitis,...), and sometimes hospitalization and even death, recently explained the Regional Agency of Health of Occitania.

"3931","* Post updated at: 15. November 2019 2019 measles in new Zealand experienced a Comeback, some doctors speak of an epidemic. As a parent, you should know so know if and when your children have to be vaccinated against measles if you're traveling with them to new Zealand. On the subject of travel vaccinations for parents, always up to date: you Need Extra vaccinations against exotic diseases? In the case of a new Zealand trip that was so far never a Problem: The common vaccinations recommended by StIKo (-> here is comply with the vaccination calendar of the BZgA). Since then, however, the actually almost exterminated the measles in new Zealand are rife, it is not so easy. Vaccinated your children against measles? And if not (yet), can-and should-prefer to have the vaccination for the new Zealand trip? Or is it doing it all panic, and a measles vaccination it is not necessary at all? Disclaimer: In this post, we will gather publicly available information on the topic of measles in new Zealand and give evidence and statements from Doctors and health authorities. We are not doctors and can't give you any expert advice. This can only do your children's doctor/your pediatrician. But we are convinced that measles is a dangerous disease that should be children and it is vital to vaccinate. A discussion on the pros and Cons of vaccinations in General and measles in Particular, we do not want to lead here. Update: On 14.11.2019, the German Bundestag has adopted a measles vaccination in Germany. From now on, every child must from 1. Birthday, the is looked after in a kindergarten or day care, have been vaccinated against measles. The same is true for caregivers and nursing staff in medical and care facilities, as well as for asylum seekers and Refugees in community accommodation. Even if your children are in daycare or school, you have until 31. July 2021, the vaccination! This is not, you will be charged a fine of 2,500 Euro. (Source: Federal Ministry of health) measles epidemic of 2019 in new Zealand: what is the situation? In 2017, the WHO announced a great news: new Zealand had officially eliminated measles. For three years there had been no new measles cases in new Zealand. Even more glaring is the setback in the autumn of 2019, as more and more cases of measles have been reported outbreaks, especially from the area of Auckland. Up to the end of the year had infected nearly 2,000 people (source), including at least 200 babies under 12 months. Thus, it is the worst measles epidemic in the history of new Zealand since 1938. No wonder: an Estimated 15 to 20 percent of young people in new Zealand are not vaccinated (we don't know exactly, because since 2005, the vaccination across the country to be registered). The state has failed simply, in recent years, vaccination rates of 95 percent to maintain, which is necessary to prevent a disease Outbreak. Two unborn babies died in the current measles outbreak in new Zealand already. Even worse: From new Zealand, the measles have come to Australia and to Samoa. The latter, especially, is terrible, because on the same path, already in 1918, came the Spanish flu on the Pacific island and almost a fifth of the population killed. In Samoa, over 300 new measles suspected cases and three Deaths were reported (source). What exactly is measles? Measles is a normal childhood disease, you just say, ""by power"" – the a are. You care for fever, cough and runny nose, conjunctivitis and a typical red rash all over the body. After about 14 days you survived the measles then. Measles is a serious and potentially fatal disease that worldwide, the majority of deaths – say the other. Die every hour 15 people to the measles. Especially the children are. Measles is definitely one of the most contagious of all diseases – just five days before the onset of recognizable symptoms. A single Diseased may 12 to 18 infect others. The measles Virus is not transmitted through the air, wash hands enough. (Here you read everything about the disease.) Who has survived the measles, successful, life-long immune to them – this is the big and only advantage of a vaccination. The acts not always a hundred percent (this does not vaccination). To be more precise: A single dose protects 91 per cent of the Vaccinated prior to infection, the two-time vaccination increased to 92 to 99 percent (says the RKI). With a measles vaccination lowers you but in any case, the serious risks of measles disease. Among those complications: – in 30 percent of cases, it comes to ear infections, with the risk of deafness , severe bouts of diarrhea, pneumonia, and seizures . , severe diarrhea, and . A 1,000-Diseased brain gets inflammation of the skin , which results in a third of the Affected permanent damage and in 10 to 20 percent of the fatal ends. that results in a third of the Affected permanent damage and in 10 to 20 percent of ends. Rare, but terribly SSPE, which shows that the measles disease, but then always fatal ends. In the case of very young children Contracting measles dies of a 1,000 on it! The risk of dying of measles is not to be despised. One to two of 1,000 Patients die on average. In the group of immune-weak patients (including babies, Sick and old people), the mortality rate is much higher. Measles vaccination: when is it recommended and for whom? The Robert-Koch-Institute recommends that the measles vaccination for babies between 11 and 14 months, under certain circumstances, from nine months. A second vaccination should be done with 15 to 23 months – it is not a Supplement, but is rather the Backup for those in whom the first vaccination did not work (about 5 to 10 percent of the Vaccinated). Only Saxony deviates from this recommendation and recommends the first vaccination, starting on the 13th. and the Booster 4. Birthday. Generally speaking, every child and adults against measles should be vaccinated or immune – especially before a trip, and especially before a trip to new Zealand. The only way a disease in the vacation, and b) you are preventing a) the transmission of measles to other people. This means for you: EVERYONE should check their measles vaccination status. You need two vaccinations to be protected against measles. The RKI recommends that all adults get one Dose of the vaccine, or can't remember, for safety's sake, a (further) vaccination. Also, mothers who breastfeed may have a shot for the measles. No later than two weeks prior to departure, you should these missing vaccinations make up – rather, because of from 5 to 15 percent of children, the MMR is not tolerated vaccination well (you will get a weakened Form of measles, the so-called Impfmasern). Not the nest protection against measles in new Zealand is enough for babies? Babies are at particular risk if they develop measles. Nature has ensured, therefore, that they are particularly protected. The mother is immune to measles, it transmits antibody through the placenta and later breast milk to your Baby. So it protects it for a few months in front of a contagion – but only within limits. The nest protection is not as effective as a vaccination! Especially because most of the mothers themselves ""vaccination only"" and not by a history of measles disease immune. So you will have less antibody for the Transfer. And also, because the vast majority of German mothers not breast-feed their babies for longer than six months full. The best protection for a Baby is not when it comes before the age of nine months with the measles pathogen in contact. And the best way to, if his family are vaccinated families, toddler groups, buddies, and caregivers against measles. Point. Measles in new Zealand: How high is the risk of infection for tourists is? Just like at home, you can plug in you also in new Zealand, in many places, with measles – because they are extremely contagious and can be transmitted by Sneeze or cough through the air. In addition, Sufferers do not are already contagious, if you feel sick at all. The lot is already in the plane, where many people are spending hours in a confined space together. (A confirmed case of measles Transmission happened on the Air New Zealand flight from Auckland to Sydney.) Also at the airport, in Hotels, on the playgrounds or in the people crowding in tourist attractions such as museums, the risk of Contracting measles is very high. The new Zealand Ministry of health officially recommends to all parents of children between 6 and 11 months in the Region (not only in the city!) Auckland travel, no later than two weeks prior to departure with the child doctor/children's doctor to deny (source). Children under 5 years of age should travel to the official recommendation, only vaccinated in areas where measles have been reported. Areas in new Zealand, with a current measles are not outbreaks of Auckland and the surrounding area, especially the South, Waikato, Taranaki, Canterbury and Christchurch-Queenstown remains Much left there, hm? It is sufficient to vaccinate only in new Zealand against measles? Your Baby is at the time of your departure only a few months old and you want to weigh it down as late as possible with a vaccination. This is understandable, especially since measles can only be vaccinated in combination with rubella and Mumps. One of the reasons for the measles epidemic in new Zealand, at times, sufficient supplies of vaccine were . The measles-doses in the population and with the many new diseases to deal, were in emergency centres, in which it is received according to witnesses, partly chaotic. You will find that sounds like good conditions, during an exciting, exhausting journey a measles vaccination to pick up? Always with the risk that your Baby does not tolerate the vaccine quite well, and for a couple of days, feverish and sickly? This ""Impfmasern"" are not contagious, occur in 5 to 15 percent of the Vaccinated. So, If your Baby is in front of the trip already over 9 months old, let it vaccinate prefer to stay at home. Your Baby has the first measles vaccination, and needs the second, while you are in new Zealand? In principle, this is possible",69,"germany"

"2582","The habits of the people always moves towards greater connectivity, the smartphones are with us almost everywhere : in our beds, transport at your table or even to the toilet. Because of this, phones have become nests for bacteria, in the same way as cloths or sponges. Vector transmission ""smartphones are, they, too, become a vector for the transmission of infectious organisms,"" explains Philip Tierno, a clinical professor in pathology at the New York University school of medicine. ""More a high number of people touch a surface, the greater the risk of contamination is great. If you touch a bar of metro falling, and then you check your emails on your phone, it will be covered by the germs of the people who have touched this bar underground"", he adds. Often, users think they are immune to the bacteria because they are washed hands, which is not the case if they are checking their phone immediately after. ""Even if you wash your hands with soap before eating, it is enough for you to touch your smartphone to contaminate them again,"" says Philip Tierno. Rubber shell The phenomenon is amplified if the smartphone is protected by a rubber shell, which hangs more bacteria than glass, metal or hard plastic. Moreover, the protections, whatever the material, tend to store the microbes in the small spaces that separate them from the phone. The bacteria present on the telephones is transmitted through the ears, nostrils, cuts or scratches. If most are not sufficiently virulent to cause harm, some can cause food poisoning, colds, or infections.

"23410","See also: The president of the Association of General and Family Medicine said to be shocked by the refusal of some parents to vaccinate their children, putting at risk the whole of the community. “It is worrying and I must admit that there may be a choice not to be vaccinated against the measles,” said Rui Nogueira in the Renaissance. “It not only affects the lives of the children, and we are talking about children who are helpless for a very serious disease, but also to the community. This disease is easily spread in the community, and, therefore, it would be irresponsible too great not to vaccinate their children,” he points out. Portugal is experiencing a measles epidemic, a disease that was eradicated in this country, and which now affect more than two dozen people. There are five cases under investigation. “Vaccination against these diseases must be made mandatory. It shocks us when people say that there are parents who don't want to vaccinate their children. The question is put in relation to the other, but in relation to the measles, it is unequivocal, our learning about the disease and the vaccination, in the course of the last few years,” noted mr. Rui Nogueira. Already on Monday, the director-general of Health, Francisco George, and he had been adamant about it: “The people all have to be vaccinated. There is no freedom of the individual, which may explain the absence of a vaccine for children.” It is the opinion of a pediatrician, Mario, Lamb, all of the parents who choose not to vaccinate their children, they should be held accountable. The doctor is considered such a decision as to whether a memory is too short, and the arrogance is too great.” What to do in case of a suspicion? If you think you might have measles, then the safest option is to connect it to the Line Health 24, "" says the president of the Association of General and Family Medicine. In the Face of the ease with which it spreads the disease, and in the emergency department and hospital they are, as a rule, are full of people, will be the “most prudent course of action in case of any doubt, please contact the service in order to be sent and when you arrive I will have all the necessary precautions, while you do not esclarecessemos of the doubt.” Rui Nogueira warn that the stage of the infection begins before the rash (also known as pintinhas of red on the body). And “it's a piece of cake, through direct contact, next to, on the air”. “It's the social contact that transmits the disease. The disease has a skin rash, a lot of typical, easily recognizable, and then there is the scramble to the general fever, and malaise. The rash is, in fact, a sign of alarm,” says the doctor, in the field of internal medicine.

"9513","Europe is experiencing an increase in cases of measles, and the disease returned in four countries, including the United Kingdom, where it was considered deleted, warned on Thursday the World Health Organization (WHO), calling for the intensification of the vaccination. The WHO notes 89.994 of measles cases in the 48 european countries in the first half of 2019, more than double compared to the same period of the previous year (44.175), and more cases than in the rest of the year 2018 (84.462). ""The return of the transmission of the measles is alarming. If we are unable to establish and maintain a vaccine coverage higher in each of the communities, the children and the adults they will experience distress, and that some of them will be doomed to a tragic death,” warns Günter Pfaff, chair of the regional Commission for the verification of elimination of measles and rubella vaccine, according to Reports. On the basis of the figures for the year 2018, the illness is not considered to be ""eliminated"" in the United Kingdom, Greece, turkey, the Czech Republic, and Albania. According to the ORGANIZATION, the status of the ""removed"" refers to the absence of the transmission of the continuous period of 12 months in a specific geographic area. In the United Kingdom, there have been reported 953 cases in 2018, (489, from 1 January 2019 onwards), whereas in Greece, they have been identified and 2.193 for the cases of (28), 1.466, in the united arab emirates (475), and 217 in the Czech Republic (569). ""Each of these countries is a good example of the vaccination coverage of the national high. It is not, therefore, about the countries where the system is (to your health) are particularly underprivileged,” said Kate O'brien, the director of the department of immunization of the world health ORGANIZATION. ""I think it's a wake up call for the whole world, it is important to be on the cover of the national's high, I have been doing this in every community and in every family,"" he added. How is it transmitted measles - a deadly disease Highly contagious and potentially serious complications, and sometimes death (37 cases in Europe in the first half and 74 in 2018), chicken pox is usually transmitted by direct contact or through the air, and lead to infections of the respiratory tract, thus affecting the physical body. In Europe, most of the people affected were aged less than 19 years of age (60% of the time). In the first half of 2019, and 78% of the cases occurred in four outbreaks in: Kazakhstan, Georgia, Russia, and Ukraine, and the latter, by concentrating 60% of the time. Measles was declared eliminated in 35 of the 53 countries in the region. By 2017, this number was 37. Measles is endemic in 12 countries, including France and Germany, countries in which the vaccination will become mandatory starting in march of 2020. In Austria and Switzerland, have achieved the status of a disease ""eliminated"" after they have ""demonstrated the interruption of the continuous period of at least 36 months."" There is no cure of measles, but it can be prevented by the administration of two doses of vaccine, according to the WHO, which is valued at more than $ 20 million, the number of deaths averted at the global level, over the period 2000-2016, due to the vaccine. At the global level, the number of reported cases has increased three-fold in the period from January 1 to July 31, 2018 (129.239), and the first seven months of this year (364.808).Most of the cases have been registered in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, and Ukraine. The United states has listed, in its turn, the greater number of cases of measles in the last 25 years. On the other hand, the WHO estimates that, globally, it is reported less than one case out of 10, which means that the scale of the outbreak is much more significant than that of official statistics. The specialized agency of the united nations in the field of health consider that, in fact, there are approximately 6.7 million deaths each year linked to the measles, he explained to O'brien. Vaccine against measles has been criticised on the basis of a study of the faked chicken pox sign of a recovery in almost all regions of the world due to the access of the poor to health care services, or a vote of no confidence in the vaccine. However, by 2016, the incidence of this disease has suffered a setback. In western countries, the ""anti-vaccini<U+0219>tii"" the claim that there is a link between a vaccine to fight against measles and autism.

"58613","Around 7.2 million people were born in Spain between 1970 and 1980 and are the group that the Ministry of Health recommends be vaccinated against measles if they have not been vaccinated previously or have not had the disease, before the rebound of the virus worldwide. Due to the confusion generated, sources of Health have reiterated that the epidemiological situation of measles in our country has not changed, keeping the state of removal from 2016, and remember that the recommendations are reflected in the common calendar of vaccination throughout life. WHY THE GENERATION OF THE 70'S? Routine vaccination against measles began to generalize in 1981 through the mmr vaccine, which also protects from rubella and mumps, "" explains dr. Luis Ignacio Martínez Alcorta, director of innovation of the board of directors of the Spanish Association of Vacunología. All children born from that year that met the immunization schedule are properly immunized. In the decade of the 70's they used a monovalent vaccine against measles but only for a short period of time, so that there is optimal protection against disease for those who now have between 40 and 50 years, who are the “target group” of the recommendation of Health. AND WHAT ABOUT THOSE BORN BEFORE 1970? The percentage of people born before 1970 who have not had measles is “marginal”, says the doctor. Before that year the virus was circulating widely and is a disease as transmissible that more than 90 % of the people had already experienced before reaching the age of 18 years. “It is extremely rare that do not.” Health assumes that these people are immune by having had the disease previously. HOW DO YOU KNOW IF THERE IS THAT SHOT? When in doubt whether you are vaccinated or has had measles, “it is always better to get vaccinated” because it does not pose any risk even if you have passed the disease. There is an analytical proof called serology to know if a person has suffered or not a certain disease “but it is not recommended to systematize its use because it is much more cost-effective and safe to vaccinate,” says dr. Martinez Alcorta. The only caution to take in account for administering the triple viral is, in the case of a woman, if you are pregnant and if the person has a chronic condition that results in immunosuppression, or is allergic to any component of the vaccine. WHAT TO DO TO GET THE VACCINE? If it has been born in the years 70, there is to go to the health center for the medical advice. In the event you need to get the vaccine, the vaccine is “completely safe, highly effective, and is free”. It is a vaccine of live attenuated virus and is administered in two doses with a minimum difference of four weeks between one and the other. The protection is approximately 93 %. The side effects, if they appear, are “mild and transient”. Currently, the first dose is given at 12 months and the second at 3 or 4 years. The vaccination rate of mmr in 2018 was higher than 95% in the first dose but the second dose is half of the autonomous communities did not come to that coverage. “There is a tendency to cover vaccine tend to decrease as children get older,” he says. SPAIN FREE OF the VIRUS measles is a disease “extremely contagious”, so if you do not have “high” coverage vaccine of 95% or higher the virus continues to circulate and can be extended to other countries where it was not flowing so endemic. It is a disease that can be eradicated, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), which keeps Spain in the list of countries free of the virus. Sources of Health have reiterated to Efe that we are not facing a situation of urgency. WHY THERE HAS BEEN AN INCREASE IN CASES? There is not a single cause, but several. One of them is the lack of access to health services and immunization in some parts of the world or in certain populations. In developed countries such as the Uk, which has lost the status of having eradicated the virus, Martinez Alcorta points to the information “not true and not proven scientifically”, which is accessed through the Internet “that makes some people seeking to renege on” vaccines or “hesitate” at the time of putting them on to their children. HOW IS THE VIRUS SPREAD? The infection occurs primarily by the respiratory route through coughing, sneezing or talking. The virus can remain for up to two hours in the atmosphere. The disease presents with high fever, produces rhinorrhea (runny nose), conjunctivitis, cough and a rash is very characteristic. “People think that it is a own illness of childhood that does not involve any risk but could be severe,” warns the doctor. In fact, in one out of every thousand cases it can cause death and the most frequent complications are neurological, pneumonia, blindness, and severe diarrhea.",68,"spain"

"32615","The World Health Organisation (WHO) has announced that it no longer considers measles to be eradicated in the UK. Albania, the Czech Republic and Greece have also lost their measles-free status.  It is a coincidence that the news broke not long before Boris Johnson, the UK prime minister, provoked widespread outrage by proroguing parliament. But the increasing prevalence of measles must be understood in the broader context of rising populist sentiment and drawn-out political crises.  Measles is a highly infectious and potentially deadly disease, but it can be prevented with a cheap and easily administered vaccine. If over 90-95 per cent of a community is vaccinated, “herd immunity” is achieved and outbreaks are unlikely to occur. When the measles vaccine was introduced in 1963, the disease killed about 2.6 million people a year. The number of measles cases has steadily declined since then, and it is estimated that the vaccine has saved more than 21 million lives since the turn of the century.  Download the new Indpendent Premium app Sharing the full story, not just the headlines  Vaccines are widely agreed to be one of the great achievements of the scientific age. A survey of eminent historians by The Atlantic put vaccines as number eight in a list of the “greatest breakthroughs since the wheel”. And an article by the US librarian of congress published in National Geographic placed vaccines fifth out of 10 inventions “that changed the world”.  But in the past few years, the remarkable progress made by vaccines has gone into reverse, particularly in the west.

These fears go back at least to the 18th century when efforts to inoculate people against smallpox in Boston, US, were met with fierce resistance. Contemporary concerns about vaccine safety, however, are usually traced to debunked claims that there is a link between the MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) vaccine and autism.  Discredited theory that refuses to die  This connection is rejected by mainstream scientists. Andrew Wakefield, the source of this conspiracy theory, was struck off by the UK’s General Medical Council for acting dishonestly and irresponsibly, and his published research was retracted by The Lancet. Earlier this year, a study of over 650,000 children in Denmark concluded that there was no evidence of a connection between MMR and autism – even among children who were seen to be of heightened risk, such as those with autistic siblings.  <U+2153> of Ukip voters believe vaccines are unsafe  Still, Wakefield’s ideas continue to have enormous influence. A survey of 2,600 parents published in January by the Royal Society for Public Health shows that 21 per cent of parents in the UK think MMR causes unwanted side effects and almost 10 per cent of parents chose not to give their child the MMR vaccine, mainly because of fears about side effects.  In June, the Wellcome Trust published the results of a survey of more than 140,000 people. Only 73 per cent in northern Europe (which includes the UK), 59 per cent in western Europe and 40 per cent in eastern Europe agreed with the statement that vaccines are safe. The figure was 72 per cent for the US. The WHO listed vaccine hesitancy as a top 10 global health threat for 2019 and one that “threatens to reverse progress made in tackling vaccine-preventable diseases”.  The NHS points out “vaccination is safe and important” and the WHO states that “vaccines are safe”. This raises the question: why do so many people believe unproven theories over the informed advice of medical doctors and public health authorities?

The aforementioned survey by the Royal Society for Public Health also showed that half of the parents of children under five in the UK are often or sometimes exposed to negative messages about vaccines on social media and online forums.  Interestingly, a study published last year revealed that the same Russian trolls and bots that interfered in the US presidential elections on behalf of Donald Trump spread disinformation about vaccines. This suggests that the Russian state is using the topic of vaccine safety to spread discord in the west.  But growing vaccine hesitancy indicates a broader breakdown in trust in elites and experts that is behind Brexit and other political crises. In the run-up to the 2016 referendum, Michael Gove claimed that people have had enough of experts. He was referring to economists, but this sentiment has wider relevance in the so-called “post-truth” age, when appeals to emotion appear to be more effective at influencing opinion than facts and evidence.  My own research shows that western European countries with the highest levels of electoral support for populist political parties, such as Greece, Italy and France, also have the highest percentage of people who do not believe that vaccines are important, safe or effective according to the Vaccine Confidence Project. In contrast, countries that have the lowest levels of populist votes, such as Portugal and Belgium, also have the lowest levels of vaccine hesitancy.  The link between populism and vaccine hesitancy can be seen when we look at individual-level data. Survey results published in The Economist in 2014 showed that Ukip voters were almost five times more likely to believe that the MMR vaccine is unsafe. According to more recent data, one-third of Ukip voters believed vaccines were unsafe compared with 10 per cent of Labour voters and 11 per cent of Conservative voters. We found similar patterns throughout Europe: supporters of right-wing populist parties were much more likely to question the safety of vaccines.  Breakdown in trust  It is interesting to note that the three other European countries that lost their measles-free status are also in the midst of profound crises precipitated by a breakdown in trust in the politicians.  In June, Albania’s elections were boycotted by the main opposition party who accused the prime minister of previous electoral fraud and corruption. In the Czech Republic, hundreds of thousands of people have taken to the streets this summer to protest against alleged economic fraud perpetrated by the billionaire prime minister Andrej Babis. Greeks have suffered massively since 2008, with GDP still 20 per cent lower than pre-crisis levels. Alexis Tsipras’s left-wing government was recently defeated by New Democracy, which has been described by some observers as a right-wing populist party.  All this shows how political crises and measles go hand in hand. Just as Boris Johnson’s manoeuvring does not undo all the progress that has occurred in British politics since Charles I, the UK losing its measles-free status does not signify a return to the Dark Ages. It is nevertheless alarming to see how precarious both the rule of law and public health are in the current political climate.

"8418","Measles is on the rise, and while the cases show a downward trend, it is not clear what will happen in the winter. The last time we had a widespread problem with measles in our country was in 1978-1979, when we have had enough victims. Then, it was available monovalent vaccines for measles and, because of epidemic, there has been a lack of vaccine for months. Such a problem does not exist today, as well as the ministry of Health assured the other day that there is a sufficiency of vaccines, as well as the reserves amount to 100,000 vaccines and any shortages in pharmacies are temporary and are due to the increased demand. Also, according to the Greek Pediatric society, the modern vaccine is safe, effective and without side effects. Because, however, the volume of information on the measles is big and can be ""lost"" in them, in this article we present all the basics you need to know, in order for you and your family to be safe. What is measles measles is a respiratory, contagious disease caused by a virus that belongs to the group of paramyxo. The disease of measles and the virus that causes it have the same name. The measles virus normally grows in the cells that are in the back of the throat and lungs. What's the reason for the disease: Causes - Factors that can trigger The disease is caused by the measles virus and it's transmitted by air by breathing, coughing or sneezing. The measles have high infectivity and can be transmitted from the person who has been exposed to the disease in another, four days before until four days after appearance of rash. The incubation period of the disease is 9-12 days (in rare cases it may take even 20 days. It is so contagious that if one person is ill, 90% of the people who are in close contact with that person and are not immune to measles will become infected with the measles virus. The measles virus lives in the mucus of the nose and throat of the infected person. When the person coughs or sneezes the droplets sprayed in the air and is transmitted in the nose and throat of others as they breathe, or through the hands that touch the nose or the mouth, while before they have touched contaminated surfaces with droplets of the measles virus. The virus lives on contaminated surfaces for more than two hours. Epidemiological evidence of measles is rare in countries and regions where the vaccination coverage against measles is high, but is endemic (permanently increased frequency of individual cases of measles in an area) in many parts of the world and in countries that do not apply systematically the vaccine of measles, and may occur in epidemics (many cases in most areas) every 2-4 years. How is it manifested in the measles: Symptoms The symptoms of measles appear 7-21 days after infection of the person with the virus and include: Macular rash all over body Fever Cough Rhinorrhoea eye Redness and tearing, Feeling of weakness, Tiny white spots with <U+03C5><U+03C0><U+03BF><U+03BA><U+03CD><U+03B1><U+03BD><U+03BF> – white center located in the center of the mouth (Koplik's spots) A typical case of measles begins with moderate fever, cough, rhinorrhea, eye redness and irritation in the throat. Two or three days after the onset of symptoms may occur tiny white spots in the mouth. Three to five days after the onset of symptoms occurs red rash on the body. The rash usually first appears on the hairline of the face and diffuses (moves) towards the neck, trunk, hands and feet. When the rash appears the fever may reach up to 40 °C. After a few days the fever subsides and the rash fades. Diagnosis of measles: Tests The clinical diagnosis of measles is based on the symptoms. The laboratory diagnosis of measles can be done with confirmation of positive antibody IgM measles, or the isolation of RNA of measles virus from respiratory samples. Contact with a patient known to have measles, or afflicted by, from, adds strong epidemiological evidence for the diagnosis. Measles: What are the possible complications about 30% of cases with measles develop one or more complications: Croup Bronchiolitis Pneumonia (which is the most frequent cause of death from measles in young children) Otitis occurs in about 1 case for every 10 cases of measles, and can receive permanent hearing loss Diarrhea occurs in about 8% of cases of Encephalitis Treatment – Methods of treatment there is No treatment for measles. The fever is treated by the administration of antipyretics, preferably paracetamol. Also consists of administration of fluids and <U+03B1><U+03C0><U+03BF><U+03B3><U+03C5><U+03B3><U+03AE> activities that are easy on the eyes (reading, tv) which is irritable. The administration of antibiotics is not recommended unless complications develop. How to prevent the measles – Prognosis The vaccine of the measles vaccine known as MMR (Anti-Mumps-Rubella) is a combination vaccine which provides protection for three diseases: measles, mumps, and rubella, and which is safe and effective.

A number of further possible cases are being investigated so this figure may rise.  This constitutes an outbreak of the disease in the Limerick City. An “Outbreak Control Team” made up of representatives from the HSE are involved in managing the outbreak in an effort to prevent further spread.  The best protection against measles is to be fully vaccinated with 2 doses of the MMR (Measles-Mumps-Rubella) vaccine. All children should get MMR at 12 months of age and the second dose at 4-5 years of age. If your child missed their scheduled MMR vaccine dose you should contact your GP to get the age appropriate dose.  Advertisement  “If people are unsure of their vaccination status they are advised to get an MMR vaccine, as even if they do have 2 doses of MMR a third dose is not harmful,” a HSE spokesman said.  The HSE has run a vaccination clinic in the area where cases have been notified and further clinics are planned.  There will be a free MMR clinic in the Southill Health Centre on Friday 9th February 2018 from 10am-1pm. We are calling on those living in the Carew Park and Ballinacurra Weston area of Limerick city to attend.  In particular, parents of children aged between 1 year to 12 years of age who have not had two doses of MMR vaccine, parents of children aged between 1 year to 12 years of age who have not had two doses of MMR vaccine, those parents who are unsure if their children have had MMR vaccine and adults under the age of 40 years who have never had the MMR vaccine  “At this point the only way to prevent the spread of this illness is to ensure vaccination of all those who can be vaccinated. This will also protect vulnerable people who cannot be vaccinated including infants, pregnant women and those with very suppressed immune systems (e.g. patients undergoing chemotherapy),” a HSE spokesman said.  Measles symptoms include: high fever, cough, runny nose, red eyes and red rash that starts on head and spreads down the body- this normally starts a few days after onset of illness. The rash consists of flat red or brown blotches, which can flow into each other. It lasts about 4-7 days.  Anyone who develops measles symptoms should:  • Stay at home from work. Children should not attend school or creche. Keep isolated from other people so as to prevent spreading the illness.  • Call the Department of Public Health at 061 – 483338 to advise that you think you/your child may have measles.  • Telephone your GP and advise them that you think you have symptoms of measles (and if you know that are a contact of a case of measles) so that they can see you at a time/place when no one else is there (to avoid infecting others).  • Your GP may organise a test to confirm the diagnosis – this is usually done by using a small swab that takes a sample of the oral fluid from the mouth.  Patients with symptoms of measles should avoid presenting to the emergency department where possible. If it is necessary to seek urgent care, it is important to inform the ambulance service or emergency department that you have symptoms consistent with measles beforehand so that the appropriate precautions can be taken.

"6263","Even the summer season has stopped the emergence in Italy of new cases of measles: 86 the new reports of the first week of August, while the cases reported from the beginning of the year have reached $ 4.087. Unfortunately they were three of the victims. 89% of the cases occurred in unvaccinated persons, and another 6% had received only one dose of the vaccine. The average age of those affected by the disease is 27 years. Well 277 cases have been reported among health professionals. To put in the row numbers is a press note of the Meeting which will devote just a date to the theme in the context of the first edition of the Meeting Health. This will be discussed on Monday, 21 August to 19 in the Neri Room of the Exhibition with Prof. Massimo Galli, Vice Chairman of SIMIT (Italian Society of Infectious and Tropical Diseases), Ranieri Guerra, Director General of the Directorate of Health Prevention, Ministry of Health, Roberto Bernabei, President of the Association Italia-Lived, Walter Ricciardi, President of the Institute of Health, and Luigi Cammi, the creator of the Meeting Health and A. d. of PLS Educational. “A situation that puts us in first place in Europe in 2017 and on the number of cases of measles, and in the embarrassing condition of seeing the CDC of Atlanta, the state agency for the control of diseases in USA, recommend it to anyone planning a trip to Italy, be sure to be vaccinated or to have recourse to vaccination,” – said Prof. Massimo Galli, Professor of Infectious Diseases at the University of Milan and Vice President of SIMIT, Italian Society of Infectious and Tropical Diseases. “An emergency due to the progressive reduction in the percentage of vaccinated and that requires major surgery, the first of which was the recent decree that reintroduces the mandatory vaccination for measles,mumps and rubella (MMR). It is possible, however, that we desire of the other. 56% of the cases this year involved people aged between 15 and 39 years”. A recent study by researchers at the Bocconi University, in course of publication in the Lancet Infectious Diseases estimate to the people of this age group susceptible to infection (i.e. who have not contracted the measles as children and have not been vaccinated) in about three million, the 5% of the Italian population. Commenting on the article, an editorialist for the Lancet suggests that, in a country with a low birth rate and with many adults likely to stop the spread of the infection may not be enough to vaccinate the children and that the vaccine may have to be offered to the adults also. In spite of the emergency, the anti-MMR remains, unfortunately, between all the vaccinations the most unpopular. An attitude that is also linked to the spread ‘viral’ on the web data on the relationship to autism, which proved to be non-existent. A study by the University of Pisa, recently published, that shows a relationship between the reduction of the vaccination coverage for MMR in the period 2010-2015, and the increase in online search activity and social network on the topic of “autism and MMR vaccine”. Another research carried out in Friuli-Venezia Giulia and in Emilia, has considered the data for more than 220 thousand children, around 2% of them had not received any vaccination, and 11% of which had not been vaccinated for MMR. The number of infants not vaccinated is a result increase in time. At greater risk of not being vaccinated are the children of women with more than 35 or less than 25 years old, unmarried, with a higher education, and city of the economically developed countries (mainly Italian). In the region Friuli-Venezia Giulia, which has contributed to the study with the data of over 145mila children, born between 1995 and 2000, they ran a greater risk of not being vaccinated if the children of foreign mothers, and with low levels of education, while the situation is reversed for those born between 2006 and 2010, years in which to be more at risk of non-vaccination were the sons of Italian with high levels of formal education. Data that emphasize strongly the need, already previously proposed by SIMIT, campaigns of health education and information that promote the understanding of the importance of vaccines and their proper intake. “If the vaccination MMR is today, the problem is more pressing, in the field, vaccination is not the only. One of the sectors of the population where the vaccination plan is the most neglected and the most needed,” concludes Galli – “is represented by the bearers of chronic diseases in which vaccinations such as anti-influenza and anti-pneumococcal can be an important tool to ensure a longer expectancy of life free from disease”.",67,"italy"

For Seth Berkley, managing director of the Gavi, an international association, which calls for the vaccination, the increase in cases of measles is cause for concern, but this is not surprising because of the deception in relation to vaccination on the part of the people, the mistrust of vaccination in Europe, and the healthcare system on the brink of collapse, as is the case in venezuela, and the lack of vaccination in Africa, and is the cause of the existence of an outbreak of the disease all over the world. Berkley also alert to the change of the preventive strategies, there is a major effort in the routines of immunization and strengthening health systems. “Otherwise, they will continue to experience outbreaks of measles, the one followed by the other,” he said. Health care organizations all over the world and have no idea to what to make of the prevention of the spread of the virus through vaccination is the most common, with the primary target populations are the poor, the marginalized, and in areas of conflict, and the homeless.

The first dose should be administered from 12 months, the second within 18 months. Any child not vaccinated can be denied in a community. Until now, the MMR was recommended. Who can get hib disease? Measles can occur at any age, if you have not been vaccinated or if you have not already had. In over 15 years, in half of all cases of measles, hospitalisation is necessary. Are you immune if he was already caught? Yes, provided that there is certainty about the diagnosis. The virus has not mutated, unlike chickenpox. And if you are born before 1980 ? One is not vaccinated. Therefore, if one has not caught, and especially if you travel abroad, it is best to be vaccinated as a baby (not forgetting the two doses. It is mandatory for the health professionals. Is vaccination effective ? Yes. The vaccine protects against the disease in nearly 100% of cases after two doses of the vaccine. The ideal is to inject the first 13 months, the second at 16 months. The disease could be eradicated if everyone was vaccinated. Agnes Buzyn has pointed out that ""virtually all of the measles cases are occurring among people not vaccinated, or who received only one dose in their lives."" In addition, the vaccine protects against mumps and rubella. The vaccine is free? Health Insurance takes care of 100% of the 2 doses of MMR vaccine for children and young people up to 17 years of age. For all other insured persons, the MMR vaccine is reimbursed 65% by the health Insurance, the supplementary be in charge of take over for the remaining 35%. The act of injection, by the physician is supported in terms of consultations and medical acts. How to transmit the disease? Measles is an infection that is strictly human and very contagious, due to a virus transmitted person-to-person through the air (saliva, sneezing, coughing, hands on a contaminated object,) and causing a rash of buttons. A person with measles may be the cause of 15 to 20 additional cases. Persons with measles can transmit the disease from 5 days before to 5 days after the appearance of ""buttons"". It is with varicella disease the most contagious. What are the symptoms? Buttons, fever, exhaustion. Doctors diagnose it easily. What should you do if someone grabs him in the entourage? For pregnant women and people over the age of 15, hospitalization is recommended. Why the virus is spreading? The rate of vaccination coverage remains insufficient in France in the 15-35 years of age and among infants, which explains that the virus continues to circulate in the country. In response to this situation, a catch-up vaccination has been put in place for anyone born since 1980. Unlike their neighbours in Latin or germanic, the French show a growing scepticism in the face of the vaccines : according to a survey published in October 2016, only 69% of respondents said that they trust the vaccination. The travellers, outside of mandatory vaccinations for some countries, they rarely take the prevention to complete their vaccination. Why the New Aquitaine is affected? Vaccination coverage rates are low, and errors of diagnosis have been committed at the beginning of the epidemic, the coup quickly spread. What vaccines are mandatory? Only three childhood vaccines were mandatory in France: diphtheria (since 1938), tetanus (since 1940) and poliomyelitis (since 1964). We speak of the ""DTP"", which is the subject of three injections grouped before the age of 18 months. Eight others were ""recommended"": measles, whooping cough, mumps, rubella, hepatitis B, bacterium Haemophilus influenzae, pneumococcus, meningococcus C.

And on the 23rd death due to the disease since 2008. The measles had already killed the 10 February in Poitiers, a mother of 32 years who had never been vaccinated and has contracted the virus, leading his father to the emergency room. And on June 9, this is a man who has been carried away to Marseille, on the eve of her 26 years. Born immunodeficient, it was ""probably contaminated by a near non-vaccinated,"" according to the public Health agency of France. ""The New-Aquitaine is no longer in phase of the epidemic"" but the fight for the vaccination continues, insists his side the ARS. Since the November 6, 2017, 1.096 cases of measles have been confirmed in the region (2.567 in France in total). One out of four cases required hospitalization, twelve patients were transferred in intensive care and two died. ""Nearly 90% of these cases were not or inadequately vaccinated (2 doses needed),"" said ARS. The inadequacy of vaccination coverage in France is in favour of this highly contagious disease : a person can infect up to 20 people. - Skepticism in the country of Louis Pasteur - The country has certainly prevented an epidemic like the one that had affected 24,000 people between 2008 and 2012, including nearly 15,000 in 2011. But this does not prevent complications sometimes tragic (pneumonitis, meningo-encephalitis, etc) that, without causing systematic death, may cause serious sequelae. Only medication to relieve the symptoms of measles can be given, because unfortunately, there is no treatment to cure this disease, reminds us of the ARS. The only effective way to protect against measles is vaccination a preventive. This vaccine has existed since 1968. The objective of health authorities is to achieve, as recommended by the world health Organization (WHO), 95% vaccination coverage among those at risk. Adults born after 1980 are part of this category because at the time the vaccination was put in place progressively and the virus was circulating less, and many have never developed antibodies against the disease. However, the coverage with the second dose of the vaccine, which guarantees the immunity, varies now depending on the counties between 62% and 88%, indicated that the public Health France in march. The country of Louis Pasteur is distinguished today by a scepticism against vaccines is quite widespread in its population. Sometimes accused of being dangerous to health, sometimes to be guided by the financial interests of the laboratories, the campaigns for the vaccination are sometimes met with hostility. The government has therefore chosen the regulatory pathway to strengthen the immunization coverage. Children born on or after January 1, 2018 must receive 11 vaccines, including the MMR (measles, mumps, rubella). Before that, there were only three mandatory and eight are recommended. The vaccination of the population had already allowed the transition of 300,000 cases of measles per year in 1985 to 10,000 in 2000.",66,"france"

Parents are reminded that they must ensure their child is fully vaccinated if they are to be protected.  Measles is a highly infectious and potentially very serious disease. It is a viral infection that anyone can catch and is is one of the most infectious diseases we know;  It spreads easily between people through coughing and sneezing.  It usually starts with a runny nose, red eyes, cough and temperature. A rash follows, usually about four days after the other symptoms, and lasts for up to seven days  Complications are common, even in the UK, including severe cough and breathing difficulties, ear, eye and lung infections. On rare occasions, measles can lead to serious and potentially life-threatening complications  It can be particularly serious for children and adults with poor immune systems, pregnant women and infants under one year old, so if you think your child may have measles, keep them away from babies, pregnant women and those with poor immune systems, e.g. those on large doses of steroids or cancer treatment.  Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR) vaccine is given via two doses. Children usually have their first dose at one year their second dose from 18 months or pre-school. Some children miss out on the second dose for various reasons. Your child will not be fully immunised against measles if they have not received both doses.  Parents of children at all schools in Wandsworth will be sent a letter inviting them to attend the town hall catch-up session. If your child has not received both doses of the MMR vaccine, or if you are unsure, take your child’s red book along to the session. The clinic will be held at Wandsworth Town Hall, Wandsworth High Street, SW18 2PU between 4pm and 7pm on Tuesday, December 17.  You can also seek advice from your GP or practice nurse. Please do this as soon as possible.  Cabinet member for health and social care Cllr Melanie Hampton said: “Measles isn’t a harmless childhood disease and some people go on to develop very serious complications so please make sure you and your children are fully immunised.”  For more information on Measles and MMR visit www.nhs.uk/conditions/measles.",66,"uk"
"31214","How France beat parents' fear of the measles vaccine  Measles vaccines were falling and cases rising. Then the measles vaccine was made mandatory  By Alex Whiting Tuesday, 10th September 2019, 8:11 am Updated Wednesday, 11th September 2019, 10:09 am  (Photo: Sean Gallup/Getty)  In February, a holiday in paradise turned into a nightmare for one family. Soon after their arrival in Costa Rica, their unvaccinated five-year-old son developed measles, the country’s first case since 2014. The parents, also unvaccinated, tested positive for the virus too. They were believed to have brought it from France, where they live.  The family were quarantined, and the Costa Rican authorities contacted people at risk. A few weeks later, two American children - again, unvaccinated - also developed measles in the country. Again, the authorities had to act quickly to contain it.  Measles is more contagious than Ebola, tuberculosis or flu. It has no specific treatment and it can be picked up from the air or from surfaces for as long as two hours after an infected person has come and gone. Because it is so infectious, health experts see it as an early warning sign that there’s a problem with vaccination coverage.  Sign up to our daily newsletter The i newsletter cut through the noise Thanks for signing up! Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting...  “Measles is like a canary in the mine,” says Heidi Larson, director of the Vaccine Confidence Project and a professor of anthropology at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine. To protect a population from measles, she explains, at least 95 per cent of people need to be vaccinated - a higher threshold than for most other infections. This means that if vaccination rates start falling, “it’s going to be the first to show its ugly head”.  Concern about childhood vaccines  When last measured in 2017, Costa Rica had a vaccination rate of 96 per cent for the disease - a clear sign that its people shouldn’t have been at risk from each other. That same year, France’s measles coverage stood at only 90 per cent.  This isn’t surprising in light of the widespread concern about childhood vaccines in France. One in three French people think vaccines are unsafe - the world’s highest rate. And nearly one in five believe they aren’t effective - second only to Liberia - according to the Wellcome Global Monitor poll.  France may be on the extreme end, but it is part of a global trend that has many health experts worried. Trust in vaccination programmes is crucial to maintaining high immunity rates. But across the EU, people are delaying or even refusing vaccines, contributing to a rise in disease outbreaks.  (Photo: AFP/Getty)  A major threat to global health  According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), reluctance or refusal to vaccinate is now one of the top 10 major threats to global health. One manifestation of this is that even people in high-income countries, with good healthcare systems, are dying from easily preventable diseases. More than 70 people died of measles across Europe in 2018 – three of them in France.  Between 2010 and 2017, more than half a million French infants didn’t receive a first dose of the measles vaccine. And last year, France was among the 10 countries with the highest year-on-year increases in measles, with confirmed cases jumping from just over 500 in 2017 to nearly 3,000 in 2018.  “It’s a tragedy for Europe that a child or an adult has died because of a preventable disease,” says Patrick O’Connor, a team lead in WHO Europe’s vaccine-preventable diseases and immunisation programme. “We owe it to them to protect them.”  A critical mass of unvaccinated people produces a wildfire effect, O’Connor adds. “Next year it could be diphtheria, or a variety of things.”  Fears about the measles vaccine  “It’s all about money for the pharmaceutical companies,” says Priscille, 25, who lives in Paris with her daughter Madeleine. Like many French parents, she is unsure about vaccinating her child. She doubts the effectiveness of injections, and is worried about damaging her baby’s immune system, even though there’s no evidence to support these fears.  “I think the immune system builds itself, and if it’s broken somewhere, it becomes complicated,” she says. “Maybe the basic idea of a vaccine is very good but the vaccines we have today are not good enough.”  This lack of trust in vaccines, despite overwhelming evidence that they are safe and effective, can be traced at least in part to the French government’s mishandling of a series of medical scares.  A blood transfusion scandal rocked the country in the 1990s. In the previous decade, thousands of people had been given blood contaminated with HIV. Many of those who received contaminated blood died. Global headlines screamed “Transfusion of death”.  On the heels of this scandal came reports from medical professionals who claimed to have developed multiple sclerosis after receiving the hepatitis B vaccine. Although the WHO investigated and concluded there was no evidence of a link, the government suspended its school vaccination programme and promised to investigate. “But suspending it also raised suspicions,” says Heidi Larson.  (Photo: Cynthia Goldsmith/Centers for Di/PA)  A campaign that backfired  Then in 2009 controversy around vaccinations to protect against the H1N1 flu pandemic led to an “absolute, total breakdown of trust”, Larson says.  France had ordered 94 million doses of H1N1 vaccine at a cost of almost €1bn. It was enough to inoculate about 80 per cent of the population with two doses. But by the time the bulk of the vaccines had been delivered, it was realised that only one dose was necessary, and in any case the pandemic was less dangerous than initially thought.  By the end of the vaccination campaign in January 2010, less than 10 per cent of the population had come forward for vaccination.  “The public was angry at the WHO for what they thought was overinflation of the risk,” Larson says.  The percentage of people who were favourable towards vaccinations fell from 91 per cent in 2000 to 61 per cent in 2010. By 2016 it had recovered somewhat, but only to 75 per cent.  Fighting misinformation online  Recently, and as in many other countries, social media has enabled scare stories and misinformation about vaccines to spread fast. The Facebook group Info Vaccins France, for example, has a series of testimonies from parents saying their children either died or became seriously ill following routine inoculations.  Part of the problem is that if just one person in several million has an adverse reaction to a vaccine, their story will spread and inflate on social media with no wider context.  Some of those online are campaigning for freedom to choose whether to vaccinate. Others are seeking to counter what they say is a conspiracy of silence around the ill-effects of vaccines. O’Connor says it’s an issue that medical professionals are battling worldwide. “The fervent or militant resistors are very loud on social media and other forums. People pick that up and then they have lots of questions.”  In response, French health bodies have put out information on Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn. They have funded YouTube videos such as “Nine bullshits on vaccines”, which has had more than 350,000 views in 18 months, and sometimes they engage directly in online chats.  Following a recent measles outbreak, a representative from the health agency Santé publique France introduced himself to mothers chatting on Doctissimo, a website set up by two doctors to spread reliable information about health. He reminded the mothers of the rules around vaccines and answered their questions and concerns.  French health minister Agnes Buzyn (Photo: Alain Jocard/AFP/Getty)  Making the measles vaccine mandatory  “All my patients have concerns about vaccines,” says Véronique Dufour, a paediatrician and vaccine expert. “Vaccines are intrusive, so it’s normal for them to ask questions.”  Dufour is the deputy chief physician of the Paris maternal and infant protection centre. There are similar centres across France, providing medical education and support for children, mothers and pregnant women. She says her job has become much easier since the government increased the number of mandatory vaccines from three to 11 in January 2018.  The Health Minister Agnes Buzyn was concerned that the low take-up rates of the vaccinations were creating a “public health crisis”. The new law arose out of a major consultation on how to restore confidence.  Previously, the three vaccines that were mandatory – diphtheria, tetanus and polio - had good immunisation rates of 95 per cent or higher. But eight other vaccines, including measles, meningococcal C and hepatitis B, had only been recommended - and coverage was lower. Now, unless they have a medical exemption, children need to have had all 11 vaccines to attend a state-run school.  “People are asking fewer questions. Very, very few are not vaccinated,” Dufour says.  A clear signal to the public  Doctors say that the change in law has sent a clear signal to the public that all vaccines are important.  A small study of parents with young children in February this year found that 91 per cent think vaccination is important for their children’s health, and 87 per cent think it is important for protection of the wider population. Both figures show a 5 per cent increase since June 2018.  Vaccination rates have also increased. The percentage of babies receiving the first dose of meningococcal C vaccine rose from 39 per cent in 2017 to 76 per cent in 2018. In the same period, vaccination rates for hepatitis B, human papillomavirus (HPV) and measles also modestly increased. France aims to achieve 95 per cent coverage for all vaccine-preventable diseases except flu, where the target is 75 per cent.  “There was a confusion between mandatory and recommended vaccines. People understood that if it was recommended, it wasn’t so important,” says Magid Herida, a vaccine expert at the Ministry of Health.  The consultation also suggested setting up a website for the public with information, which now has around a quarter of a million unique visitors a month.  Mandatory vaccination is one of the most successful ways of increasing immunisation rates, according to the WHO. Italy, Hungary, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Latvia, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia have all followed France.  Attitudes change slowly  But the WHO warns that this approach can also provoke vaccine hesitancy - “not necessarily because of safety or other concerns, but due to resistance to the notion of forced vaccination”.  “Taking away freedom of choice can easily appear authoritarian,” says Jeremy Ward, a researcher on vaccine hesitancy at the Vitrome laboratory in Marseille. In France’s highly politicised environment, he says, this could prompt a minority who were previously hesitant to become rampantly anti-vaccine.  There might also be an increase in the number of children being given medical exemptions, Ward adds.  Laws are relatively quick to change. Attitudes and behaviour may take longer. Unless vaccination rates are sustainably increased, diseases such as measles will continue to spread in Europe, says the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control.  The public need to be reminded that vaccines protect lives from killer diseases that few people in Western countries have any experience of.  “Vaccines are one of the best public health interventions we have, and they work,” says O’ Connor. “We just have to make sure people understand that.”  Measles on the rise The UK lost its measles-free status last month, alongside three European neighbours: Greece, the Czech Republic and Albania. This came three years after the World Health Organisation declared that no cases originating in Britain had been detected, for the first time in the country’s history. In 2017, 284 cases were confirmed in England and Wales, tripling in 2018 to 991. It’s estimated that 20 million measles cases have been prevented in the UK since a vaccine was introduced in 1968, saving 4,500 lives. Vaccinations need to increase. “While coverage of the first dose in the UK has reached the WHO target of 95 per cent for children aged five, coverage of the second dose is at 87.4 per cent,” according to Public Health England.",66,"uk"

In the future also strengthened, voluntary series of vaccinations in schools to be possible. Also operating doctors to participate in vaccinations. The law also includes so-called non-specialist regulations. So get Insured, the victims of sexual abuse were entitled to assumption of costs for a confidential medical forensics on the body With such investigations, including, among other things, in the genital area, can be violations found. Possible investigations on the so-called K. O.-drops. Forensics can be documented and procedures then in any subsequent court applicable. In the deliberations of the health Committee extended this provision to other cases of abuse and violence. In addition, advertising for the operational plastically and, to a surgical intervention (plastic surgery), which is directed exclusively or mainly at young people is prohibited. The comparative display of appearance before and after surgery prevented. Finally, it is introduced with the act, the repeat prescription. It aims to be Insured, the need for a continuous supply of a medicinal product. In the cases, the doctor may issue a regulation, which permits up to three times repeated charge. Consultation: experts see challenges In a hearing of Experts on the draft law had warned the Confederation of national associations of local authorities, the implementation of the law could be difficult. The Association said it was a significant effort, not calculated costs and possible conflicts with stakeholders, such as the impfunwilligen parents or employees of community facilities. It must be feared that the burden are the shoulders of the controls and consequences of the introduction of vaccination by the public health service (ÖGD), which had to be strengthened because of it. In the final debate, the speakers of the Opposition pointed out that the EGDS has been saved in the past, ""broken"". Applications of the Opposition be rejected, the German Bundestag has Rejected a request from the FDP, with the title ""vaccination rates effective infection diseases eradicated"" (19/14061). The request was rejected with the votes of the factions of the CDU/CSU, the SPD and the AfD against the votes of the groups of the FDP and Alliance 90/The Greens, with the abstention of the group of The Left. A third template of the group of Alliance 90/The Greens with the title ""measles and other infectious diseases, eliminate now – solidarity and reason, vaccination rates increase sustainably"" (19/9960) was rejected also promote with the majority of CDU/CSU and the SPD against the votes of the AfD, the FDP and the greens with the abstention of the Left. The votes a recommendation for a decision of the health Committee (19/15164) was based. In addition, the AfD group, submitted a resolution (19/15168) was rejected with the abstention of the Left, with the majority of the other factions. The group had requested that the vaccination rates are based on a secure scientific basis, and that, therefore, the previously published studies on the basic reproduction number for measles in independent scientific studies should be checked. In addition, no compulsion should be exercised to Vaccinate. Minister: measles are not harmless Federal Minister of health, Jens Spahn (CDU) reminded that measles are not harmless and not treatable. The disease could take a malignant progression to lung and brain inflammation. In the case of a vaccination the freedom of the Individual, it is also the responsibility of the Individual and the question of whether others would be at risk. The combination vaccine works against not only measles, but also against Mumps and rubella, according to Spahn, as an additional advantage. Multiple vaccines would also tend to be less side effects. In addition, there is ""no right to rubella"". In case of doubt, it is going to prevent further diseases. The goal is, as many infectious diseases to eradicate. It could be that these international objectives pursued would be, of all things, prevents this in Germany. The CDU/CSU sees an ethical obligation to Rudolf Henke (CDU/CSU) added that there is an ethical obligation to participate in the vaccination. Community protection is a highly important public Good. With the law, the prevention will be strengthened overall, particularly vulnerable people would be protected. This was an act of social solidarity. A forced vaccination of children Henke did not want to speak, a duty of proof. SPD: With systematic vaccination, the suffering, the speaker of the SPD to prevent also made it clear that, with the systematic vaccination against measles with a lot of suffering could be avoided. Bärbel Bas (SPD) said it had been in the past few years, severe outbreaks of this disease. In such cases, the affected schools and daycare centers would be completely locked. The aim of the Reform was to protect those who could not be vaccinated, such as babies. The vaccination booklet for teachers and educators is important to be able to protect all. Sabine Dittmar (SPD) defendant, would spread to the subject of measles completely false, pseudo scientific facts, to justify a deliberate infection medically. This would be irresponsible. AfD is against compulsory vaccination, The AfD sees in vaccinations is quite an effective remedy against diseases, however, a compulsory vaccination that it is neither useful nor appropriate. Detlev Spangenberg (AfD) said, Germany is well positioned, there is at least no need for action in the case of children who were primarily vaccinated Yes. Need for action there is more likely among adults and immigrants. State pressure was therefore unnecessary, because a large majority of the population, vaccinations see a positive effect. The result of a Impfzwangs, however, are resentment, frustration and rejection. Voluntary vaccinations were more useful. In addition, information and counselling should be strengthened and an electronic reminder system for upcoming vaccinations are introduced. FDP: vaccination no injury to Andrew Ullmann (FDP) is turned against the representations, the vaccination is bodily injury. ""A little prick?"" The question was rather, what was with the suffering, when the disease is erupting once more. It is not a harmless infection diseases. Vaccinations are effective, safe, prevented suffering and death. In particular, the most Vulnerable need to be protected against such diseases, including infants and the chronically Ill. In the past years, had been saved from the Public health service, now, therefore, the measles protection act is needed. However, the Reform burden, the staff in the institutions concerned with bureaucracy and ""cons bristly Impfgegnern"". Left in favour of vaccination campaigns and education from Dr. Gesine Lötzsch (The Left party), described himself as a ""convinced Impfbefürworterin"" and reminded of a successful public campaigns against child paralysis (Poliomyelitis) in the past. Those who refuse a vaccination, increasing the risk for other people, for example, the Elderly and the Sick. This is divisive and unacceptable. However, it would be covered by the amendment to serious abuses. The EGDS are not more had been saved a broken series of vaccinations as before were to be held today. The EGDS needed in terms of personnel and financially to be strengthened. In kindergartens, schools and nursing homes should be offered by the EGDS regular series of vaccinations. It is also useful vaccination campaigns in the workplace, and an electronic vaccination plan, as well as more education to be. Green, require comprehensive vaccination strategy Also Kordula Schulz-ash (Alliance 90/The Greens) called for a comprehensive vaccination strategy. Vaccinations against infections are living up to our social solidarity with infants, small children and the sick, for any infection life-threatening it could be. The recommendations of the experts should be followed. The Green party politician said: ""We can eradicate measles in the world, if we all work together."" The bill includes some sensible provisions, such as that all the Doctors could vaccinate all patients. A key issue will be taken up, the population between the ages of 20 and 50 years of age, was vaccinated of which less than half against measles. The gaps would have to be systematically closed. The draft law of the Federal government With a mandatory vaccination for children in community facilities to fight the Federal government, the measles is more effective. The draft law provides for a mandatory Vaccination against the highly contagious viral infection in day-care centres, schools and children day care . Prior to the inclusion in such community facilities, all children must demonstrate in the future that they have effectively been vaccinated against measles. Also, employees of such bodies, as well as medical staff, must have a complete Vaccination. The measles vaccination develops its full protective effect after two doses of the vaccine. Also in asylum seeker and refugee accommodation, the residents and staff measles vaccines to demonstrate. For people with medical contraindications, and people born before 1970, does not apply to the vaccination. Who had measles, you must also be immunized, because the body is then permanently protected against the measles virus. Children are already accommodated in a community facility and employees must provide the vaccination book by the end of July 2021. Children without measles vaccination may be excluded from attending a day nursery. The act is intended to 1. March enter into force in 2020. The draft law also stipulates that parents in communal establishments children not vaccinated, a fine in the amount of up to € 2,500 can be imposed. Even against day care centers, a fine can be issued if non-vaccinated children are being cared for. The same is true for non-vaccinated employees in community and health facilities, as well as asylum-seekers accommodation and for non-vaccinated residents of these properties. The health insurance companies are obliged to do so, with the Public health service (ÖGD) are agreements about the reimbursement of the costs incurred to meet. In order to be strengthened allows volunteers number of vaccinations in schools. The request of the FDP In the fight against infectious diseases, calls the FDP group, a systematic increase in the vaccination rates. The deputies, in their application for a digital Vaccination card, with the help of every citizen of his vaccination status, at any time, can retrieve. This Vaccination should remind the citizens automatically on necessary vaccinations. In particular, in the practices of the kids, house and wife doctors should also be given to the establishment of a professional Impfmanagements. There are also model projects should be made possible in the framework of which members of other healing professions, such as nurses, midwives or pharmacists, so-called killed vaccines is expected to to vaccinate. The Robert Koch Institute (RKI) should be established in addition, a digital Impfregister, - stated in the application, which grew from the pseudonym of primary data on all vaccinations food. This data could be through vaccination rates in a timely and widely available made. The request of the Greens group of the Greens campaigns for improved Vaccination against measles. In facilities of child day-care and in particular health facilities the children would be cared for, which had not yet reached the for the measles vaccines required to age or due to diseases are not vaccinated and could be stated in an application. It is therefore appropriate, if it is to be made for their protection, the vaccination of other children and the entire staff is a prerequisite for access to these facilities will. Among other things, the deputies are demanding that, before inclusion in a facility in which children are cared for, the vaccination status is checked. In the case of incomplete Vaccination, in particular in the Absence of the second measles vaccination, should need to be rescheduled as a prerequisite for the visit to the nursery, the lack of vaccination. Furthermore, it should be given in facilities of child day - care, schools, health care facilities and other facilities with infectious diseases, especially persons at risk staff, as quickly as possible a sufficient level of Vaccination to prove. The society for telematic applications of the healthcare card (gematik) should be obliged to do so, the digital certificate of vaccination until 2021 as part of the electronic patient file (ePA) to introduce.

"299","The measles virus affects cells of the immune system. As a result, patients several years after infection, much more prone to other diseases. That's according to new research in the prestigious scientific journal, Science, has been published.

The results show that the measles virus in 11 to 73% of all antibodies wegvaagt. The measles virus has a large impact on the immune system.

"539","Europe is experiencing a surge in cases of measles and this disease is resurgent in four countries, including the United Kingdom, where it was regarded as eliminated, is worried about Thursday, the WHO, calling on them to intensify the vaccination. The world health Organization reported 89.994 cases of measles in 48 european countries in the first half of 2019, more than double compared to the same period of last year (44.175), and already more than for the entire year 2018 (84.462). ""The resumption of the transmission of measles is a serious problem. If we are unable to establish and maintain high vaccination coverage in every community, children and adults will experience unnecessary pain and suffering, and some will be doomed to a tragic death,"" said Günter Pfaff, the president of the regional Commission of verification of elimination of measles and rubella. On the basis of the figures of 2018, the disease is no longer considered ""eliminated"" in the United Kingdom, Greece, Czech Republic and Albania. For WHO, the status of""removal"" corresponds to the absence of continuous transmission for 12 months in a particular geographic area. In the Uk, 953 cases have been reported in 2018 (489 since 1 January 2019), while 2.193 have been recorded in Greece (28), 1.466 in Albania (475), and 217 in the Czech Republic (569). ""Each of these countries is an example of a national immunisation coverage is extremely high. It is not, therefore, examples of countries whose systems (health) are particularly weak,"" noted Kate O'brien, the director of the department of Immunization, WHO. ""I think it is an alarm bell to the world : it is not enough to achieve a national coverage high, it must be done in every community and in every family,"" she added. Deadly Extremely contagious and may lead to severe complications, including fatal cases (37 cases in Europe in the first half and 74 in 2018), measles is usually spread by direct contact or through the air, infecting the respiratory tract, then spreads throughout the body. In Europe, the majority of those affected were under the age of 19 years (60% of cases). In the first half of 2019, 78% of the cases were recorded in four hotbeds of contagion : Kazakhstan, Georgia, Russia and Ukraine, which alone comprises 60% of the cases. Measles was declared eliminated in 35 of the 53 countries that comprise the region. They were 37 in 2017. It is endemic in 12 countries, including France and Germany, countries in which the vaccination will become mandatory from march 2020. Good students, Austria and Switzerland were granted the status of""elimination"" after ""demonstrated the interruption of the ongoing transmission for at least 36 months"". There is no curative treatment for measles, but it can be prevented by two doses of a vaccine, according to WHO, which estimates that more than 20 million the number of deaths prevented in the world between 2000 and 2016, thanks to the vaccination. At the scale of the planet, the amount of cases reported has been multiplied by three between the period from 1 January to 31 July 2018 (129.239) and the first seven months of this year (364.808). The greatest number of cases have been recorded in the democratic Republic of the Congo, Madagascar, and Ukraine. The United States have identified their highest number of cases of measles in 25 years. The WHO estimates that less than one in ten cases is reported in the world, which means that the magnitude of the epidemic is much larger than the official statistics. The specialized agency of the UN considers that in reality there are approximately 6.7 million deaths each year linked to the measles, explained Ms. O'brien. This disease re-appeared a little everywhere in the world because of poor access to care or a distrust of vaccines. Until 2016, it was yet in decline. In western countries, the ""anti-vax"" claim that there is a link between the measles vaccine and autism. More than once, WHO has debunked this theory, based on a study falsified.",65,"belgium"

There are years of quiet, during which you accumulate sensitive subjects, then, at the first infection will develop the disease, leading to a surge in the number of cases”. It remains the most macroscopic, however, of the increase of cases of 33% at a distance of three years, an obvious demonstration of the effect of the decline of vaccinations. Almost all of the reports are related to citizens resident in Abruzzo (418 to 437), with a rate of incidence per year for 100 thousand inhabitants, 17.9, more than double of the national one, which stops at 8.8.

"7553","The wave of compulsory vaccination, which we record in Europe is not used to prevent outbreaks of measles and creates a violation of human rights and democratic freedom of the people. Most of the doubters are not extremists, but parents wary that they need a comparison of professional and transparent services and vaccine easily accessible. Of Vageesh Jain, 15 November 2019, The cases of measles globally in the first six months of 2019 have reached the highest levels since 2006. While countries around the world struggle to contain outbreaks, the government policies in the field of vaccinations, have been placed under accusation. Germany was the last to yield to the pressure. Given the free movement of citizens between EU countries, a consistent policy in the field of public health is particularly important. For example, in the first quarter of 2019 in the United Kingdom have occurred in more than 230 cases of measles, most of which are linked to travel in Europe. Although the cases of measles are at a historic high, the european region of the World Health Organization (WHO) children who are vaccinated have never been so many. The increases in the rates of vaccination are put in the shade by small groups of vulnerable people, who continue to act as a reservoir for the disease. No EU country can hope to adequately control the measles without success spread to the entire region. So the question is: compulsory vaccination is the key to success? Nine out of 30 european countries have mandatory vaccination for measles, two doses, one in the first two years of life (MCV-1) and later in childhood (MCV-2). There is no obvious difference in vaccination coverage between the countries with mandatory vaccination than those without compulsory vaccination. The spread of the measles vaccine in the EU/UEA (2018) ECDC, WHO, Also looking at the number of cases of measles in children for the country, there is no difference consistent: some countries have compulsory vaccination, such as Bulgaria and Slovakia, have rates of measles, very high. The number of cases of measles per 100,000 children in the countries of the EU/EEA. The ECDC, the World Bank, The compulsory vaccination is anti-democratic, The most apparent problem with the vaccine is that affect the rights of the people, a fundamental aspect in the liberal democracy. It was precisely the widespread perception that the rich have imposed their will at the expense of the autonomy of the individual to lead to the end of compulsory vaccination against smallpox in England in 1946. However, there are those who might argue that it is the duty of the government to adopt stringent measures in the interest of public health. The differences in the approaches of the EU countries reflect different political systems and their willingness to prevail over individual autonomy to a greater common benefit perceived to be. An index of democracy the Economist Intelligence Unit, based on 60 indicators, including civil liberties and human rights, shows that the EU countries in which vaccination against measles is mandatory are all classified as “flawed democracies”. Among the countries in which vaccination is not compulsory, 62% is classified as “democracy complete”. EU countries ranked for the Index of democracy EIU. The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), Considering all elements, it is clear that democratic systems absent of some EU countries allow the implementation of compulsory vaccination, with the benefits limited or non-existent public health. The alternatives On the reasons of the hesitation vaccine that we know very. Parents who refuse the vaccine for measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) often believe that vaccines are unsafe and ineffective and that the diseases prevented are mild and not common. Some people do not have confidence in the professionals of health or in science. There are solutions in this regard: several control studies, randomised trials (the gold standard of medical research) have shown that the attitude of parents can be changed with the right training programs. It is also important to have enough centers that carry out the vaccinations. Public health seems to have been an easy target for budget cuts in many european countries. In many countries, most people are skeptical about vaccines are not vehement “no-vax”, but people who have a conservative position on vaccination. For people like these, have immunization services accessible, affordable and professional guidance and support are fundamental to an effective strategy. A French study of 2019 has shown that a year after it had been made compulsory vaccination, the vaccination coverage for measles has increased. This is, however, misleading. It is likely that it reflects the success of the various actions that are derived from a significant political commitment, including the financing of public health services, public awareness campaigns and general awareness-raising activities, rather than the effect of the law on the obligation itself. To deal with the measles, the EU policy should be consistent, equitable and effective. There are reasons well-understood and documented at the base of the low rates of vaccination. It is important that they be addressed, in particular in the social groups that are difficult to reach, before going to drastic measures that are supported by the evidence weak, under the guise of the action.

Many responded to the call of the city, to get vaccinated, last week, were administered within a period of three days 900 free vaccinations. The weekend about six employees were in readiness. Especially people between 20 and 40 years should consider a second vaccination if they were not sick already of measles. The vaccine was said years ago is very effective, Birgit Trattler, Director of the health office, you do not know that in the case of a vaccine, the protection was sufficient. With the second vaccination to be vaccinated then enough. There had even been a Phase with a non-effective vaccine, therefore, the appeal to 20 - to 40-Year-old, come to the Vaccination. Otherwise, the vaccination rate in children and adolescents, she is regarded with almost 90 percent as well. is Also, the group of over 55-Year-old is likely to carry a lower risk, says the expert. Because the first symptoms contact occur approximately eight to twelve days after the Virus, the health Ministry, especially on the Easter weekend, with new cases, so Trattler. There is emergency services, if necessary, will also open the health Department.

"2590","Everywhere in the world, the turn signals are red. Without bad game of words, since the measles is making a comeback marked. In France, an ""epidemic"" has very recently hit a school of Saint-Tropez. In the United States, the emergency has been declared in the State of Washington at the beginning of march. And the New York city mayor Bill de Blasio has ordered that the residents who were non-immune to several areas of the city are vaccinated under duress. According to the world health Organization (WHO), the number of cases worldwide has increased by nearly 35 % between 2017 and 2018. In mid-January, WHO identified nearly 229 000 patients reported in 2018, up from about 170,000 in 2017. In Europe, the number of reported cases rose from 5 300 in 2016 to 83,000 last year. The Ukraine accounted for to it only 53 000 in 2018. In parallel, the number of death explodes, since, always according to WHO, this disease is highly contagious, has killed 136,000 people last year. No offense to the anti-vaccine, measles is progressing where immunization is receding. As you can read on the website of the international Journal of medicine, the recent us epidemic "" was to center a specific geographical area, characterized by a high rate of exemptions vaccine in young children, which had persisted despite the overall increase in vaccine coverage in the State of Washington "". The same site states that similar outbreaks occurred in the United States over the past five years. In 2014, the amish community of Ohio has recorded 383 cases of measles. We are in this area in an underdeveloped country. Beyond the human tragedies, epidemics of measles have a financial cost, depending on the number of cases, geographic location, measures of prevention are necessary, the number of people placed in quarantine. In 2011, the total cost of outbreaks of measles occurred in the United States has been estimated between of 2.77 and $ 5.3 million. ""It includes expenses related to post-exposure prophylaxis (vaccination, immune globulin), the laboratory tests for doubtful cases, the increase of working time and overtime of health professionals, the awareness of the general public at risk for outbreaks, and quarantine individuals in contact,"" says JIM, for whom these costs are likely to be under-estimated. For all infectious disease specialists in the world, the hour is serious, the situation spiraling out of control. In France, the vaccination coverage, even for the first dose, is just over 80 % of the population. It is insufficient because the only way to stop the circulation of the virus and control the epidemic is to ensure that countries reach a level of immunization of 95 %. ""We are in this area in an underdeveloped country,"" says Dr. Paul-Henri Consigny, director of the medical center of the Institut Pasteur in LeQuotidien of the doctor.",64,"france"
"2597","Several students (16 from the ARS) would be ill of the measles at the University of Bordeaux. The sick are doing their studies in 4 academic sites. The epidemic at the university is expected to decline with the holiday, but the risk of dissemination also is possible with the return of students in their homes. A student infected with the measles virus can be contagious from the day before the onset of signs of illness and up to five days after. During this period of time, it can infect between 15 and 20 people around him. A serious situation in France The current outbreak of measles shows that France is still endemic vis-a-vis the infection and is not immune to a new outbreak of magnitude as the card of the infections of 2017 makes it appear that the diagnostics are divided in rather homogeneous over the territory. The scenario of an epidemic is all the more credible that the immunization coverage is too low. Only 79 % of babies of 2 years old are vaccinated. However, with a virus of the level of contagiousness of the paramyxoviruses measles, it would be necessary to achieve 95 % vaccine coverage to prevent any circulation of the virus in France. A very contagious disease measles is an infectious disease of viral origin, eruptive and very contagious, which is linked to a paramyxovirus. It is transmitted mainly by the airborne route, for example when a sick person who is contagious coughs, he sends in the air droplets of saliva infected with virus. It is also possible to get measles after contact with a surface contaminated by nasopharyngeal secretions. The ""incubation period"" of the virus of measles is 10 to 12 days during which no sign appears. It is a mute period during which the virus multiplies, but the patient is contagious the day before the declaration of the signs of the disease. A rash disease The signs of measles are typical and follows a specific timeline in relation to the development of the virus in the body. The first signs occur during the "" phase of invasion "". It lasts 3 to 4 days with fatigue, fever up to 38°5-40° c, a dry cough, red eyes and a runny nose. Children may often complain of a tummy ache. In the mouth, we find small white dots on the mucous membrane of the cheeks, "" it is the sign of Köplik "". The distinctive rash happens in a brutal way at the 15th day after the contagion, that is, "" the exanthema morbiliforme "". It begins behind the ears and down quickly on the face and trunk and then on the whole body. The buttons are pink patches swollen irregular, "" the maculo-papules "", which are separated by intervals of healthy skin. They do not itch and disappear in 5 to 6 days. Complications are possible When it occurs in infants or in persons with fragile or whose immune defenses are weakened, measles may be complicated and require hospitalization. It is primarily a pneumonia with a secondary infection of the lungs caused by a bacteria (treat with antibiotics), which should be suspected in any persistent fever for 15 days with a cough. If the patient has difficulty breathing, it is a serious infection of the lung that can lead the patient in the icu. This is what happened to the 16 year-old girl who died in Marseille last July. Then, it is a risk of viral infection of the brain ("" encephalitis ""), which must be suspected in front of any neurological signs such as loss of consciousness, muscle weakness or convulsions, and which must quickly refer to the emergency room. These complications can lead to death, and give of pulmonary sequelae and neurological life. No treatment There is no treatment specific antiviral drug for treating measles. The doctor will only give advice on a healthy diet or medication to act on the clinical signs the most troublesome, for example, to lower the fever, we give ""antipyretic"" (paracetamol). There is no indication to give antibiotics immediately because measles is an infection caused by a virus and not a bacterium, but it may become necessary secondarily, in case of secondary infection of the lungs caused by bacteria. Only protection : vaccination is The only way to avoid getting measles is to get vaccinated. The measles vaccine is not yet mandatory but is recommended for infants. Traditionally, the regimen consists of the injection of a dose of MMR vaccine (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) at 12 months and then a second injection between 16 and 18 months. For people who have never been vaccinated against measles, catch-up is possible. It consists of the injection of two doses of vaccine at least one month apart. In the event of an outbreak, it is possible to receive the vaccine up to 72 hours after contact with a person suffering from measles to prevent the occurrence of the disease. Very effective, the vaccine is only contraindicated in the allergic to egg white, in the immunocompromised, and pregnancy. To stem the epidemic In view of this situation, public Health France recommends that healthcare professionals be vigilant. In the Face of a measles, the vaccine calendar of loved ones needs to be systematically verified. If the schema is incomplete, a vaccination catch-up or post-exposure prophylaxis will prevent the spread of the virus. The goal : prevent an epidemic like that of 2011 will not occur again. In the space of a year, more than 15 000 people had been contaminated. Dark year, with 10 deaths had been identified. France is far from isolated in the face of this resurgence of measles. Our neighbours italians, belgians and germans have been faced with a sudden increase in cases. To such A point that the Italy has chosen to re-establish the vaccination requirement. Further to the east, Romania must also combat an outbreak that is very active.",64,"france"

The young man 26 years of age, immunocompromised, has no doubt been contaminated by a nearby non-vaccinated. In spite of the vaccination campaigns carried out by the health authorities, measles is on the rise. The death of a 26 year old young man illustrates the danger of infection by this virus.

In other words, the vaccination of all those who can benefit is essential to protect the entire population, and notably the most vulnerable. These include immuno-compromised individuals, infants and pregnant women. Moreover, the highest incidence for children under the age of 1 year with a rate of 27.2 per 100 000 inhabitants. An epidemic in stagnation, Despite a decrease in the number of cases weekly, the latter stagnates at about 50, since the beginning of the month of may.

""Currently, no department has reached the rate needed for 95% of the vaccine to interrupt circulation of the virus,"" stresses public Health France. ""Only 7 departments have coverage between 85% and 90% for 2 doses. ""Therefore,"" France is still not safe from new epidemic waves of significant in the years to come, as has been observed in france between 2008 and 2012, or in several other european countries in recent years "", insist the health authorities. Most cases in subjects not or poorly vaccinated in Order to combat this risk, ""health professionals should systematically verify and update the immunization status vis-a-vis the measles, of any person who is at least 12 months, or born after 1980,"" recalls public Health France.

"6273","Although there is a vaccine effective, safe and affordable, the measles, a highly infectious disease triggered by the Paramyxovirus, continues to reap a large number of victims all over the world, 35 of which in Europe in the last twelve months. The alarm was launched by the World Health Organization (WHO), through the words of the regional director for Europe Zsuzsanna Jakab expressed deep regret for the figures is totally unacceptable, in the light of possible prevention. “Any death or disability caused by this disease preventable by the vaccine, is a tragedy unacceptable”, stressed the manager of the WHO. “We are very concerned about the fact that, although a vaccine is safe, effective and convenient, measles remains a leading cause of death among children around the world, and unfortunately, Europe is not spared,” he added Jakab. The majority of european cases has been registered in Romania, with 31 deaths recorded, followed by Italy with two dead – the last of which was a six year old child suffering from leukaemia – and Germany and Portugal have one each. The Italian situation is held in close observation by the WHO, because in our country was highlighted a drop in the vaccination coverage and, consequently, of the so-called “immunity of the flock”, a phenomenon which facilitates the spread of virus potentially as deadly as that of measles. Suffice it to say that in 2015, because of the serious complications that can lead to, in the world has killed more than 130 people, or 370 per day or 15 every hour. Numbers dramatic that should make us reflect on the danger of the disease, which has been “put off” thanks to the effectiveness of the vaccine. In order to understand the impact on public health, the WHO has published a series of significant statistics: between 2000 and 2015 the number of deaths has decreased by 79 percent in virtue of an increase in vaccinations, which rose from 73 percent to 85 percent for children under the age of one year. They estimated to have saved the lives of over 20 million people. Several countries are moving to improve the monitoring and public awareness about vaccines, a process that in 37 of them have arrested the so-called endemic transmission of measles. The WHO stresses, however, the importance of not lowering the guard: the recommendation is that each child is eligible to receive two doses of measles through the vaccine, it also invites the adults not fully immunized or unsure of their condition to run it. Measles, in addition to children and adults arranged, it can represent a serious danger for pregnant women, with the risk of severe complications and loss of the fetus.",64,"italy"

The BOOK shows that early vaccination is indicated, it may be an infection at a young age to prevent it. The baby is well enough protected by the antibodies that the mother has been given. From the age of vanzes months, the child is increasingly susceptible to the infection. Because of an MMR vaccination before the age of twelve months does not really work, it needs to have a vaccination to be given between six and twelve months, at the age of fourteen months, to be repeated.

Sorry, we have no data on European deaths poszczepiennych. In the USA database VAERS in 2016, reported 28 deaths, and in 2017 – 13. In an average year out of approx. 20 deaths reported after MMR vaccination.

Children's deaths after vaccination containing measles viruses could be about 200 per year. USA are OK. 300 million citizens, and the EU – approx. $ 500 million. Ekstrapolując American data of mortality after MMR vaccination in the EU the number of people, it turns out that in Europe after these vaccinations could be dead within a year approx. 330 (assuming the same percentage vaccinated). Interestingly, although the USA still hundreds of children a year suffer from measles today no one dies from causes this disease (https://www.cdc.gov/measles/cases-outbreaks.html). The above comparison of the figures shows that for the mass vaccination against measles (usually as MMR) in Europe can kill more than 300 people per year, and measles more than approx. 20. At the same time, 2016, was unique in Europe, because then profit millions of migrants from Asia and Africa. In previous years died from measles at most a few people in Europe, and in Poland for a long time nobody died.

So far, the outbreak, the records of 21 cases confirmed by the Institute Ricardo Jorge and his death. There are also a number of other cases under investigation. The Directorate-General for Health (DGS) will alert you to the need for parents to vaccinate their children, “and "" without hesitation”. ""There is no freedom of the individual, which may explain the absence of a vaccine, of young children,” said Francis George.

The Renaissance-has prepared a guide of questions to ask and answer about the return of measles in the country. What is measles, and what are the symptoms? Measles is a highly contagious disease caused by the measles virus. Some of the signs and symptoms usually include fever, runny nose, and sore eyes. For two or three days after the onset of symptoms to form on the inside of the mouth tiny white spots. Between three and five days after the onset of the symptoms, it appears as a red spot that usually begins on the face and then spreads to the rest of the body. The symptoms appear to be between ten to 12 days after infection and can last from seven to ten days. There are many cases in the Uk. They were confirmed this past January, the 21 cases of measles in the Uk. At the Hospital of Cascais, with a baby of 13 months old, who had not been vaccinated, has been extended to the Urgency of a 17 year old girl, and four other professionals from the health care. Back in April, have been diagnosed with measles in four infants younger than 12 months who were not vaccinated, and two of the young people and adults, in the Algarve, portugal and in the Northern part of the country. But polio had been eradicated in the Uk. By 2015, the WHO said the disease was eliminated in the Uk, thanks to an effective National Program of Vaccination (PNV) for measles. The vaccination will be held for measles in the Uk was initiated in 1973, with a vaccination campaign for children between the ages of one and four years, which was in force until 1977. In 1974, the vaccine against measles has been included in the PNV, and in the 1990s was the introduction of a second dose of the vaccine. Now, with the first dose given at five months of age and the second age of five. Why is it that you meet again you pick up? More than 500 cases of measles have been reported this year alone in Europe, affecting at least seven countries, according to the world health organization, which warns that many of the cases of measles are occurring because of the parents not wanting to vaccinate their children. How did the anti-vaccination movement? In 1998, a surgeon at the origins of the canadian, Andrew Wakefield, published in the scientific journal “The Lancet” in a study in which, allegedly, is to demonstrate a cause-effect link between the mmr vaccine (measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine) and autism. He came to prove to you that the study was fraudulent, but in the meantime, the theory has already had widespread use in the United States and in Europe. The vaccination is mandatory? It has been included in the National Programme on Immunization in 1974, and is to be administered at 12 months of age, and is reinforced before the children enter the compulsory education from 5 to 6 years of age. As with all vaccines, it is not required. It requires a liability waiver for parents who do not comply with the vaccination program. That is, the immunity of a group? In the Uk, such as the coverage rate of immunization is more than 95% of the population is protected. But the people who are not immunized increase the likelihood that people who are vaccinated but not immunized, more likely to develop the disease. What do you do in the event of contact with the measles virus? If you are not vaccinated, there is a time period of 72 hours in order to make the shot. Children and infants should be seen by a doctor, a pediatrician, and then receive the polio vaccine. Vaccination is the main preventive measure against polio, by being free of charge and is included in the National Program of Vaccination (PNV). All children should be vaccinated at 12 months of age and repeat vaccination at the age of five. How is measles transmitted? Through breathing, coughing, and sneezing. The transmission is easier when you are indoors because of the droplets with the particles of the virus can remain in the air for a few hours. The infection “is very easy: by means of direct contact, next to, on the air,” says Rui Nogueira, the president of the Association of General and Family Medicine. Is it possible to die of measles? Measles can be complicated with a bacterial infection, and progress to a case of pneumonia. In rare cases, it can lead to swelling of the brain, which can cause damage to the brain, and, ultimately, death. A 17-year-old died on the 19th day of April, in the Uk, in the wake of the outbreak of the disease.

The outbreak, which has already tripled in cases the balance of all 2018, has reached mortality levels superior even to those of the ebola virus, which has also caused more than 2,100 deaths in the african country. The UNICEF representative in the DRC, Edouard mr. beigbeder, has been called to combat the ""epidemic"" from two fronts, ""preventing infections and preventing deaths."" The organization has already handed out last year to 8.6 million vaccine doses and, in the current response in eight of the most affected provinces, has already immunized more than 1.4 million children. These jobs are in addition also the supply of medicines that treat the symptoms and ""increase the chances of survival of those who are already infected,"" said mr. beigbeder.

Just ask for an appointment with your primary doctor and explain the situation, bringing the immunization record if you have one. Although many people do not take this information into account, Domínguez speaks of the importance of vaccination by what is known as the “herd immunity”, since a single case can put at risk other people in the community.

It enters through the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract and the conjunctiva of the eye in the body. Measles are highly contagious and spread very quickly . Can infect you before the rash is in a Sick visible: measles are Infected about five days before until four days after appearance of the rash is contagious. Video: measles-Your browser cannot play this video. Measles: So the doctor puts the diagnosis The doctor recognizes the measles in the rule on the basis of the characteristic skin rash (exanthema) and of the typical disease progression with twice a high fever (two-peaked fever curve). The course of mild and the diagnosis is not clear, can give a blood test digestion. The immune system reacts to the virus by antibodies formed against you. Measles antibody in the appearance of the rash for about six weeks to prove. Measles: treatment There is no specific medication to combat the measles directly. Rather, the treatment aims to relieve symptoms and to treat the body to rest, so he can fight back against the Virus. Can you treat measles by General measures such as conservation and bed rest , as long as you or your child have a fever, as long as you or your child have a fever, medications to relieve symptoms such as fever, pain and cough, and darkened rooms, if you or your child's skin due to a connective light are inflammation very sensitive/is. Usually these measures are sufficient in order to be soon healthy again. It comes in the context of the measles, however, to complications, it is necessary to treat these in a targeted manner. So, the doctor will prescribe antibiotics if, in addition to the viruses, the bacteria come into play. Video: viruses and bacteria are the main differences Your browser cannot play this video. After contact with Patients: infection If you are not vaccinated against measles, but with an Affected person come in contact with, can prevent your doctor the onset of the disorder until the fourth day after infection by vaccination (so-called post-exposure prophylaxis, PEP), or the progress of the disease relieve. Immuno-compromised, non-vaccinated persons who are Diseased in contact, can get from the doctor's specific antibodies (immunoglobulins) are injected. It may be possible to prevent the disease from developing. Also for Pregnant women or infants, the treatment under the circumstances in question. Tips for parents Is ill your child has measles, you should observe the following tips: Let your child at home. You don't send it in the Kindergarten or the school. Leave it with Relatives and friends in contact who are not vaccinated against measles. So, you can avoid other people infected with measles. You provide for bed rest . . Especially in the case of fever, your child should drink plenty of . If necessary, you can also make the calves or chest, winding, or after consultation with the doctor, and fever suppositories. If necessary, you can also make the calves or chest, winding, or after consultation with the doctor, and fever suppositories. Some of the children that are sick with the measles, are very sensitive to light. You feel in slightly darkened rooms most comfortable. Direct incidence of light, you should definitely avoid. the most comfortable with. Direct incidence of light, you should definitely avoid. In the case of a strong cough, you can give – also after consultation with the doctor – cough medication. Humidity of the room air can be at night is helpful. For example, you can hang damp towels in the room. can be night helpful. For example, you can hang damp towels in the room. In the case of the following symptoms, you should immediately inform the doctor : : persistent high fever, ear pain, shortness of breath or shortness of breath, severe headache, stiff neck, neck pain, burning, light measles sensitive eyes: when may my child return to school? When a Patient is allowed a community Agency to visit is decided by the treating physician. In the case of a complication-free course a child can visit in the rule of the school or the Kindergarten, if the symptoms have disappeared – at the earliest from the fifth day after the onset of the rash. This is also true for ill adults or adults with an illness in the family, in community institutions. Measles: over the course of measles may be very different. As the disease develops, depends on how well the immune system responds to infection and how quickly symptoms are treated. In adults, the measles are usually more severe than in children. What complications are possible? There is in measles of various forms of complications. They can be caused by the Virus itself or because the immune system is weakened due to additional bacterial infections. The middle ear inflammation of The middle ear inflammation is one of the most common complications in the context of a measles-disease. In General, they can be treated. Inflammation of the lungs In the respiratory tract as Bronchitis or pneumonia can occur. Especially in developing countries due to measles pneumonia caused many deaths is responsible. This makes clear the importance of preventive vaccination. In the case of immune-compromised individuals, a serious Form of pneumonia may occur, the so-called giant cell pneumonia. About 3 of 10 Patients it is fatal. Inflammation of the brain (encephalitis) in About 1 out of 1,000 Patients developed a post-infectious encephalitis. This inflammation of the brain makes about 4 to 7 days after the rash is noticeable. Possible symptoms are headache, fever and disturbances of consciousness up to coma. The post-infectious encephalitis can be fatal. Also, damage to the nervous system can remain. Extremely rare measles patients develop a so-called subacute sclerosing Panencephalitis (SSPE): This Form of inflammation of the brain develops until about 6 to 8 years after the measles infection, and always ends fatally. Initial symptoms are impairments of the cognitive skills and mental changes, in the further course of neurological failures are always heavier. Also rare is the so-called measles inclusion body encephalitis (MIBE), which can develop especially in persons with a weak immune system. This Form of inflammation of the brain ends in 3 of 10 fatal cases. Prevented with the measles vaccination, The measles vaccination is one of the so-called standard vaccinations. Everyone should be vaccinated against the measles virus: The first vaccination should be done at the age of 11 to 14 months. should be done at the age of 11 to 14 months. The recommended second vaccination should be carried out at the age of 15 to 23 months. Only after the second vaccination, one can assume that a very safe Vaccination. If a child is already in front of the 11. Month of life of a community facility such as a daycare center is to visit, may be preferable to vaccination, if necessary. Then a vaccination is from 9 months. The measles vaccination is usually smallpox in the context of a combination vaccination against measles, Mumps and rubella (MMR vaccination) and second vaccination against measles, Mumps, rubella, and wind (MMRV vaccine) is performed. Infants have nest protection Up to several months after birth protected infants in General, due to the maternal antibodies (the so-called nest protection), if the mother against measles is to be vaccinated, and measles once. Measles vaccination for adults, The Standing Committee on vaccination at the Robert Koch-Institute (STIKO) recommends that certain adult persons to have a shot for the measles. A one-off measles vaccination is recommended for adults born after 1970 and ... ... so far, no vaccines have received. Vaccination will have. ... whose vaccination status is unclear. is. ... have received in your Childhood-only vaccination. This is especially true for people who work in the health service or in community facilities, or people with weakened immune system support. Most pre-1970-born adults to have had according to research, already in measles. When in doubt, but also in this age group, to get vaccinated – especially if it is unclear whether you had as a child the measles. Measles despite vaccination? Some people may become ill despite vaccination to the measles. This may not be the case, for example, if the vaccination was complete and the Person has only got one instead of the recommended two vaccinations. Also, it may be that the vaccine was improperly stored. But also, if both vaccinations have been carried out correctly, is a disease is possible: There is no vaccine that offers a a hundred percent protection. According to the Robert Koch-Institute, between 93 and 99 out of 100 people vaccinated against the measles virus immune. This means: Between 1 and 7 out of 100 people fall ill despite vaccination, measles",64,"germany"
"6303","The narrative on vaccines against the measles is collapsing To the care of dr. Alan Palmer, writer, contributor to Children's health defense [Note CHD: THE page numbers cited throughout the article are taken from 1200 Studies: the truth will prevail, the free ebook of Dr. Palmer. The download link is available in the biography at the end of the article.] Five key points - all false - are leading the campaign of fear that is related to measles with coercion to the vaccine: 1. If measles comes back, thousands of children die each year in the United States 2. The scheme of immunization with the MMR, two doses will provide protection for the whole life to the most people. 3. Adults previously vaccinated with protection waning of antibodies can receive an effective and long lasting protection from the references MMR. 4. We need to reach and maintain a rate of vaccination of 95% for the immunity of the flock. 5. MMR vaccines and MMR, varicella (MMRV) to protect you from all strains of measles. The following are my rebuttals to each of these lies. Falsehood n. 1: If measles comes back, thousands of children die each year in the United States The hyper-exaggeration of the threat of measles - and the fear that this generates in the population - are on what the industry of the vaccine and the public health officials rely to assist your compliance with the public and the legislative actions to remove the freedom of choice. However, it is time to put an end to this unreasonable fear of measles. The real risks of the measles in modern America pales compared to the damage from the vaccine and adverse effects on the health of our children (pages 561-564). The vaccine against measles has been responsible for severe damage, permanent disabilities and deaths. Even if the industry of vaccines, loves to take credit for the decline in measles deaths, the statistics of the government of the United States tells a very different story. When the first vaccine against measles, ineffective, and problematic, was introduced in 1963 (with a second vaccine introduced later in 1968), the rate of deaths attributed to measles had already declined by more than 98%, between 1900 and 1962, and continued its downward trajectory. Some government statistics say even that the mortality rate for measles had declined 99.4% before the introduction of the vaccine. Regardless of the chart that you are using, this is a decrease of almost 100%. In addition, there is reason to believe that the mortality rate would have stopped down if he had not arrived to the vaccine. Therefore, to assert that the measles vaccine had anything to do with the decline of the mortality of measles is dishonest and is a poor attempt to rewrite history. Before the introduction of the vaccine, the mortality rate reported by the government for the measles was approximately 1 in 10,000 cases. However, in another attempt to exaggerate the facts, the officers often report the rate as 1 out of 1,000 cases. What must be understood is that 90% of all cases of measles has never been reported because the parents have not always brought their child to the doctor. In the majority of cases, measles was mild, lasted only a few days, and at that point, the children went back to school and life went on. No big problem. In the '50's and '60's, people saw measles as a condition that is uncomfortable but harmless, that practically everyone had, and are cured by obtaining a permanent protection. Only about 10% of cases, total of persons affected was severe enough to seek medical care, and among the subset of cases that have required medical assistance and were reported, the mortality rate was about 1 in 1,000. Leaving out the word crucial, ""reported"", the press agencies have in the wrong the death rate as 1 in 1,000 cases, rather than on a much more precise 1 in 10,000 cases. There is another crucial fact to consider. Studies show that victims of measles were 10 times higher in low-income communities and in poverty compared to the community average income (pages 487-488). The higher incidence of victims in poor communities, has dramatically distorted the mortality rate overall. The mortality rate in the areas with medium and high income could have been about 1 in 100,000 cases. The graph on the mortality of measles confirms that it was the most intense between the end of the NINETEENTH and the beginning of the TWENTIETH century in the United States, and this was also the case in western Europe. In fact, in the 1800's and early 1900's, the great cities were dedicated to the spread of infectious diseases due to malnutrition, overcrowding, personal hygiene inadequate, poor sanitary conditions, lack of vitamins and foods with added vitamins, and limited access to proper medical care. In addition, horses were the main means of transport and leaving the narrow streets full of manure. Flies and rats were everywhere. All these factors have weakened the immune system of people. In the current era, measles remains deadly in some countries compared to others. This is because the conditions in the poorer parts of the world today are similar to the urban conditions of the industrial world between the middle of the end of 1800 and beginning of 1900. It is still a common place for the countries and the poorer communities to be afflicted by many of the same problems that once the great american cities have had. As already noted, these conditions create an environment ripe for infectious diseases that weaken the immune system of the people, to the point of not being able to fight even infections from slight. However, these descriptions and pictures do not represent the standard of life which prevails in the United States, western Europe and other advanced societies today! This is the reason for the fear, the hysteria and the lies on the return of the measles and the decimation of our children are so dishonest. While manufacturers of vaccines, greedy and profit-driven, they push the hysteria of the measles, the media – linked to the pharmaceutical industry for advertising revenue - are their spokesman. None of these wants the people to know that there are different solutions by vaccines. However, we know that vitamin A is a powerful weapon in the arsenal to reduce the rates of complications of measles.In fact, the world health Organization (WHO) promotes the integration of vitamin A in developing countries where measles is epidemic and its campaigns on vitamin A have been heralded as great successes (see pages 470-471, 481-483 and 687). In addition to vitamin A, americans today have access to antiviral compounds of natural herbal that can reduce the risk of complications, and shorten the duration of illness. People with immune compromise have also access to treatment with immunoglobulins, which are extremely effective in strengthening the body's resistance to infections and reduce the complications of measles. To understand the dynamics of why the measles was so deadly from 70 to 100 years ago, what makes it deadly in the poorer parts of the world today and why mortality rates have declined for both measles and other infectious diseases by almost 100% without vaccines, read the section titled "" the truth about The decline of infectious diseases” in my free ebook, 1200 Studies . (Link at the bottom of the article.) Falsehood n. 2: the scheme of immunization with the MMR, two doses will provide protection for the entire life in most of the people On its Web site , the Centers for disease control and prevention of diseases (CDC) indicate the following: ""The people who receive the vaccination with the MMR according to the vaccination program in the United States are generally considered protected for life against measles and rubella. While MMR provides effective protection against mumps for most people, immunity to mumps may diminish over time and some people may not be protected against mumps in old age. Both serological tests and epidemiological indicate that immunity to measles induced by vaccine appears to be long-term and probably for life in most people. ""This information is obsolete and it has been shown that is completely wrong! It may have been in any way accurate when there were still a large number of elderly people in the population who had had the measles, the wild children – having given them a lasting immunity - and when some of the children continued to have the measles, the wild, thus providing the adults ""enhancers"" natural, but this dynamic will change over time as they are vaccinated, more and more people. “In time, the levels of antibodies induced by the vaccine decreases during the ageing of the population, making people vulnerable to infections. In recent years, we have learned that the levels of antibodies produced from the vaccine against the measles decline rapidly, decreasing by about 10% per year, with an effectiveness that lasts for no more than 10 years after the second dose of the vaccine. An article of 2018, published in the journal Vaccine (entitled ""Models of antibody to measles, mumps, and rubella, persistence and rate of decline after the second dose of MMR vaccine"") confirms this fact, and a study of the 2017 published in the Journal of Infectious Diseases (entitled ""neutralizing Antibodies to the measles virus in intravenous immunoglobulins: a possible increase by revaccination donor's plasma?"") explains how to further doses of vaccine does not provide long-lasting protection. These two factors - the decline of the effectiveness of the vaccine, and the inability to reactivate effectively the protection with additional calls – completely leave without protection the adult population previously vaccinated. In substance, the programmes of vaccination against the measles may initially work (scientists call this the ""period of the moon of honey""), but only when there are many children who have already had measles in the wild as a base, developing immunity for the whole life and remaining safe and free from adults. This natural immunity can keep you in control infections with measles for several years. Because the vaccinated children are getting older and the vaccination coverage rates for children remain high, there are more (as in the pre-vaccine) children who have had measles wild in the population to provide stimulators natural to adults. In time, the levels of antibodies induced by the vaccine decreases during the ageing of the population, making people vulnerable to infections. Unfortunately, the honeymoon is over (pages 503-504). The measles vaccine has destroyed the natural immunity of the flock of which enjoyed the company - and the pseudo ""immunity of the flock,"" highly touted by proponents of the vaccine turns out to be a complete failure, falling apart because of the inability of the vaccine to provide a permanent immunity for life (pages 572 -578). This explains why such a high percentage of people who contract measles in recent outbreaks are in vaccinated adults. For example, during the infamous outbreak Disneyland 2015 and subsequent cases of measles in the United States that year, were available sequences of the virus laboratory for 194 cases. Of these, 73 (38%) were identified as sequences in the vaccine MMR . While officials like to blame the unvaccinated for outbreaks of measles, these and other statistics show that the vaccinated to be susceptible.In addition, the age of the cases in California ranged from six weeks to 70 years, with an average age of 22 years . In the era pre-vaccine, half of all children had had the measles at the age of six years, while the rest had in the years shortly after – In this situation, the disease is more mild and has the lowest rate of complications. The fact that many of the cases in California have more or less 20 years indicates a significant increasing trend in the incidence of measles in older age due to the insufficiency of the vaccine. There is another unintended consequence arising from the low antibody titers of measles in adults previously vaccinated: women of childbearing age do not have enough antibodies to transmit sufficient quantities for their babies. This makes their children more susceptible to contracting the measles (pages 574-578). Of the 110 cases in the California outbreak Disneyland, 12 (11%) were infants too young to be vaccinated . Very probably these kids would have been protected if their mothers had contracted the measles, the wild by girls. In short, the science shows a change in the demography of cases of measles due to the vaccination program. This move has effectively transferred the risk to the two groups most vulnerable to serious complications, namely infants and adults. Scientists are also recognizing the same pattern of failure of the vaccine for other infectious diseases on which we thought we had gained control (pages 588-591). “The research ... has shown that additional doses of MMR administered to adults have a minimal effect on raising levels of antibodies and that the titles increased are very temporary, decreasing in less than four months! Falsehood n. 3: adults previously vaccinated with protective antibody waning can receive effective protection and long-lasting with hints of MMR research published in 2017 in the Journal of Infectious Diseases has shown that additional doses of MMR administered to adults have a minimal effect on raising levels of antibodies and that the titles increased are only temporary, decreasing in less than four months! Therefore, the instinctive reaction of some supporters of the vaccine, to force adults to do the calls of the MMR every 5-10 years will not work. It is absolutely clear that we will not ‘vaccinate’ our way out of this problem (pages 577-578). So, what do we do now? It is like squeezing toothpaste from the tube. You can put it back in! Falsehood n. 4: we Must achieve and maintain a rate of vaccination of 95% to achieve the immunity of the flock, we hear It all the time: ""We need to vaccinate all children in order to maintain"" the immunity of the flock "", and this is what will protect the vulnerable who cannot be vaccinated."" The narrative on ""the immunity of the flock,"" is designed to support the efforts of vaccination and compliance with the public, but does not ‘hold water’. With an adult population is not protected (as discussed in the previous sections), we are in no way close to the rate of ""immunity"" to 95% for measles should realize the immunity of the flock. In fact, the CDC statistics show that we are not close to 95% for any of the infectious diseases for which they are administered vaccines. The web site of the CDC has a section titled "" Trends in the coverage of vaccinations for adults: from 2010 to 2016 . Reports on the results from the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) and shows the percentage of the adult population of the United States that claims to be been vaccinated against various infectious diseases. Obviously, the measles, mumps and rubella are absent from the survey. I have searched extensively and I could find no other survey that includes them. You have to ask the question: because the national surveys do not ask questions about MMR vaccine, when it is one of the pillars of the paradigm of the vaccine of the united states (if not the Holy Grail itself)? It is why the vast majority of adults has an age post-vaccine (i.e. under 60 years), most of whom would not have received an MMR vaccine at kindergarten? It is because the designers of the survey know that the percentage of adults who claims to be vaccinated against M, M or R would be extremely low? Researchers on vaccines know from the time that antibody titers decline rapidly, and that adults are not protected. Whatever the reason for the blind spot of the survey, the answers to the hypothetical questions on vaccination MMR does not fit within the narrative that the officials are pushing, but now they should? The NHIS asks adults whether they have been vaccinated for various infectious diseases, but many of the adults who respond in the affirmative - and included in the percent ""protected"" - would surely have lost their temporal immunity, given what we know about the decrease of immunity of the vaccine over time. Therefore, these individuals do not they really belong to the cohort of ""herd immunity"", which implies that the percentages ""vaccinated"" should be even lower. Consider also that, while children aged 2-6 years have higher rates of vaccine coverage (in the range of from 80% to 90%), that age group represents a small part of the ""group"" (maybe 5%) and for persons under 18 years of age represent less than 20% of the entire population. The topic of’immunity of the flock"" in favour of the vaccine could ‘hold water’ if all the children were kept in a bubble — completely away from it all, adults who have not been vaccinated or have lost their immunity to the vaccine — but we know that is not so. We all live together, with an exposure to cross-in this great ""flock"" that we call humanity. Therefore, the false discourse on the immunity of the flock has no reality basis, but is an intentional strategy: create the appearance of a ""solution"" to achieve the goal of full compliance with vaccination in all children. “Even with the 100% of vaccinated children, this phenomenon [primary failure of the vaccine] means that almost 1 out of 10 children will never be protected. Another to consider is the phenomenon of the ""primary failure of vaccine"", which refers to the subgroup of children in whom a particular vaccine never produces an antibody response sufficient. Supporters of the vaccine claim that this number is only around 5%, but the data suggest that the number could be higher. Even with the 100% of children vaccinated, it means that almost 1 out of 10 children will never be protected. As already mentioned, the vaccines have destroyed the natural immunity of the flock for the whole of life, generated by the immune response to measles wild. This has led to a change in the demographic profile of the people who have the measles, far from the age from 4 to 12 years (pre-vaccine) – where the disease is more mild - toward infants and adults (post-vaccine) populations in which measles causes the greatest number of complications (pages 500-504 and 579-581). Falsehood n. 5: MMR vaccines and MMRV protect you from all strains of measles Are emerging evidence that the measles virus is changing due to the intense push to the vaccine. An article in the Journal of Virology 2017, warns of this very ominous sign, a discovery of what they call the sottogenotipo D4.2 . So far, researchers have isolated this ""mutant"" in France and Great Britain. In addition, the mutant strain has not been effectively neutralized when tested against sera of approximately 70 individuals vaccinated in North America. Experts call these strains ""escaped mutant"" and warn that, with an adult population is not protected (where the securities may not be strengthened as mentioned earlier), we have the possibility of an epidemic unprecedented. The concern is that, under conditions of high vaccine coverage, the measles virus is finding a way to survive. In the era pre-vaccine, the exposure of a child to measles, the wild gave protection to the whole population through the maintenance of a strong immunity against all the variants of the measles. Now that the vaccines only provide immunity in the short term, we are at risk of widespread epidemics (pages 578-579). The research is pointing to a looming crisis, similar to the one we have created with antibiotics. The excessive prescription of antibiotics has created mutations in the bacteria that have exceeded the development of new antibiotics. Not only that, but these ""superbugs"" are much more virulent (deadly), with over 100,000 americans who die each year because of infections resistant to antibiotics. It is possible, we must prepare for a similar scenario with the vaccines? For more information, download my free eBook, 1200 Studies: Truth prevail .

"1476","At home in quarantine must stay dozens, in some cases, hundreds of other people. In the last case of measles from Olomouc region it is in addition to the family the whole class gymnazistů and six members of the teaching staff. In the Olomouc region recorded epidemiologists to the Monday morning date three cases of measles that have been confirmed by the National reference laboratories. To the two of Šumperska, where it is about relatives, one of which you plague brought back from the Pardubice region, where commutes to work, added to the sick Republic. If one of the students of the Grammar school of Jiří Wolker. Operative is apparently infected at the fight Measles is transmitted through the air and one sick person can infect up to sixteen other people. Track down the source of the infection was not prostějov case simple. In the end it failed. Epidemiologists are inclined to believe that the young man probably caught the measles at a sporting match, where he went to look. This would be equivalent to the incubation period of the disease. ""Can't it figure out. The place was a great number of people,“ said the head of the protiepidemického department of the Regional hygiene station of the Olomouc region Barbora Hanáková. In mid-march, the student was hospitalized to the infectious department and anyone with a sick boy came into direct contact, ordered the health department quarantine. In the case of the young man's family, thirty students and six professors. Hygienists all addressed. ""All contacts must get tested and find out for them the antibodies. In quarantine are classmates from the class and the teachers, who on that day in this class learn – boy was in class one day, before this, been sick,“ explained epidemiologist Hanáková. Classmates will go back to the bench on Monday 1. April. ""It's one class and two students from a different class,"" explained Michal Müller deputy director of the gymnasium, where more than 20 classes. The teachers is home to six of the total number of 85 teaching staff. ""Nothing that can't be handled. From colleagues so far no one has returned, but in the middle we'd have the results,“ added Müller. Antibodies ""vyvážou"" from quarantine If they demonstrate in direct contact with the sick, the antibodies may be back among the people. There is no reason to limit. Exposed the people who were in direct contact with the patient must be in isolation at the time of 7. 21. on from contact with the sick. Most commonly occurs disease about 10. to 14 the day. In addition to the confirmed cases of the disease from the Olomouc region are examined epidemiologists other cases, contacts from other counties, where it is associated with morbidity significantly higher. Specifically, it's about people who outside the olomouc region could disease to catch. Even these must stay in the quarantine before they are detected with their antibodies and excluded, that can be a hospital, and the infection spread further. ""It's about the person that came into contact with the sick in another region. Today, there are two new cases of these contacts,“ said on Monday Hanáková.",63,"czech"
"2594","It is a comeback that is of concern to the medical community. Several european countries, including France, are facing an upsurge of measles cases. On the first six months of the year, about 41,000 people are reported to have been contaminated by this virus on the continent, of which 37 have died. By way of comparison, only the 24,000 cases had been reported throughout the year 2017, and only 5.300 in 2016, warns the WHO. In France, 2.741 patients were identified between November 2017 and August 2018, and three deaths attributed to the disease since the beginning of the year, according to figures from public Health France. How can you detect it ? Fever, and buttons. The first symptoms of measles appear after an incubation phase of about ten days. They are characterized by a high fever, a runny nose, cough and swelling of the eyes. They can also be accompanied by vomiting and nausea. Most characteristic : the appearance at the end of three to four days a rash, consisting of small pimples very red and slightly puffy, which first earn the face (forehead, ears, cheeks and neck) before spreading quickly to the rest of the body, without itching is necessarily associated. Very often, it is this burst that allows the doctor to diagnose the disease. The sign of Köplik. Another typical symptom of measles : measles is the appearance of small tasks whitish on the buccal mucosa, known as the sign of Köplik. ""It is an event that often goes unnoticed, but that makes the diagnosis 100% certain,"" says Bruno Lina, virologist at the university hospital of Lyon and director of research at the Inserm. In the case of a measles uncomplicated, the set of symptoms decreases significantly after three to four days, before disappearing completely. Why measles is considered a serious disease ? The respiratory tract in the first line. Approximately 30% of cases of measles lead to a worsening. ""In the absence of any intervention, one is on a death per 1,000 infections,"" says Bruno Lina. ""It is a disease that causes a very strong immune suppression. The immune system out completely flat,"" he continued. This explains the high rate of complications, often respiratory : bronchitis, laryngitis, but also to pneumonia, which can on-infect by bacteria. Between 2008 and 2016, on the 24,000 cases of measles reported in France, and 1,500 have developed a lung disease serious, according to figures from the health Insurance. Dangerous headaches. More rare, but more serious also : complications neurological, generally characterized by three types of acute inflammation of the brain. Thus, encephalitis, post-infectious, which occurs two or three days after the fall of the symptoms, when the immune system is compromised by infection, turns against the brain itself. It can lead to a mental disability, paralysis, or epilepsy. Encephalitis can also appear suddenly from two to six months after the illness, through the infiltration of the virus into the cerebrospinal fluid that bathes the brain. It is always fatal. Finally, subacute sclerosing panencephalitis, a fatal also, can occur up to fifteen years after the episode of measles. It is caused by a mutation of the virus, capable of remaining in hibernation for several years. ""To wake her up, it causes a permanent infection in the brain,"" says Bruno Lina. The patient falls into a coma, and then dies after a few months, or even years. A risk of blindness. ""Very exceptionally, there may be complications at eye level, with a keratoconjonctivite and a loss of sight"", also points out the infectiologist. How to avoid it ? A highly contagious disease. Even if its reliability is not total, the vaccination provides the most efficient coverage to the extent that ""measles is the infectious disease the more contagious that we know of,"" says our specialist. Thus, being vaccinated, it is not only protect itself, it is also to protect his family and friends, and especially immunocompromised individuals, including the state of the immune system prevents the inoculation. Doctors are required to report to the health authorities of every case diagnosed. ""The measles, which is very frequent before the 1980s, has become more rare today, thanks to vaccination, so that the young doctors were less accustomed to this type of illness and does not always take the precautions necessary sanitary"", is concerned, however, Bruno Lina. Immunization coverage is imperfect. Paradoxically, persons born before 1980, and thus before the first vaccination campaigns, fear nothing today. The very high prevalence of the disease prior to this date, has necessarily brought into contact with the virus, which has allowed them to develop a natural immunity after infection. In contrast, people born after 1980 must ensure they have received two doses of vaccine. 89 % of the measles cases reported since November 2017 have occurred in patients with non-or improperly vaccinated, falls under public Health in France. Only two-thirds of children vaccinated for the first time would receive the recall, according to Le Figaro. To eradicate the disease, there should be a vaccination coverage covering at least 95% of the population, but ""she turns around 86% to 88% in France,"" says Bruno Lina. However, the government has made the vaccine a Measles-Mumps-Rubella (MMR) mandatory in the new-born on or after 1 January 2018.",63,"france"

The first one was immunocompromised, and therefore unable to receive the vaccine anti-measles because of the weakness of his immune system, the second had never been vaccinated. ""After a decline between 2012 and 2016, the number of measles cases increases significantly from November 2017, alert Public Health in France's bulletin of June 27. This situation is the result of inadequate immunization coverage among infants (79% with two doses of the vaccine instead of the 95% required), children and young adults"". Specifically, 2567 cases of measles have been diagnosed since November. The departments most affected are the Gironde (24%), Vienna (8%) and the Gard (6%). ""The very sharp increase in the number of cases since November 2017 in New Aquitaine extends into 2018, with the occurrence of several outbreaks in this region as well as in other French regions"". 22% of reported cases were hospitalized, and 88% of measles cases occurred in people not or poorly vaccinated.

For people who have never been vaccinated against measles, catch-up is possible. It consists of the injection of two doses of vaccine at least one month apart. In the event of an outbreak, it is possible to receive the vaccine up to 72 hours after contact with a person suffering from measles to prevent the occurrence of the disease. Public health France recalls ""the need for an immunization coverage is very high in the population (at least 95% with two doses of the vaccine in children and young adults).

Since January 1, 2018, vaccination against measles is part of 11 mandatory vaccinations for the infant. Measles is not a childhood disease measles is an infectious disease caused by a highly contagious virus that affected previously, especially young children from the age of 5-6 months. This is no longer the case : a third of the reported cases concerning persons over the age of 15. A sick person can contaminate up to 20. Measles is 10 times more contagious than the flu. It spreads very easily from person to person through the air when coughing, sneezing, or by contact with contaminated objects (toys, handkerchiefs...).

In France, for vaccines which are not mandatory, less than 50 % of them are not up to date on their measles vaccine, still less for the booster of the whooping cough (< 40 %). Varicella (chicken pox), less than 30 % of professionals are without immunity known. Ouch, that hurt the public health ?

So, even if their rates of vaccinations remain good (above 90 %), only 46 % would be vaccinated against the seasonal flu in 2017 (excluding the self-administrations). Whose turn is it to bite ? The report proposes that the requirement of immunization against measles, pertussis, varicella, and seasonal flu. He adds that the latter should be managed by a local organization and how accessible (and free on the beaches of hours broad). These recommendations are based on ""the risk of exposure and transmission to fragile populations"" and "" the risk-benefit ratio for individual and collective "". The PNA ends including communication and training to the list of possible levers of action in the fight against the contamination of patients by professionals.

"725","© Anelia Nikolova Dr. angel Kunchev, the chief medical inspector is currently no ability for the elderly, who themselves for one reason or another, want them to put the measles vaccine to buy it yourself and make vaccinations. It is noted today in response to the question ""the Magazine"" chief health inspector Dr. angel Kunchev. Kunchev said that currently negotiations with the supplier of these vaccines to Bulgaria to bring an additional 200 - 300 pieces that are available to the citizens in the pharmacy network. When will these calls, and when in fact there are vaccines in pharmacies he couldn't predict. Kunchev noted that, for example, last year, when there was almost no case of measles, the company brought in 200 additional vaccinations that were available in pharmacies, but it had almost no demand and they were destroyed. It is now projected that it will strengthen need, but it is not yet clear whether the vaccines are available and when. According to Kunchev, however, this should not be a serious problem as there was very minimal chance of an adult, to infect him with measles. And the key risks and challenges, including with maksimalnoe coverage are children. According to the chief medical are currently vaccines that Bulgaria offers intended for vaccination of children in accordance with imunization calendar - 1 month and after 12 years. And also, if necessary, to immunize health care workers. So, people who, for example, did a blood test for antibodies against measles and found that they were below the lower boundary or slightly above, which I have reason to believe that they do not have sufficient immunity, and would like to be vaccinated, at the present time are unable to do it. Between 3 and 5 percent were people who do not build immunity even after that doing a booster, show the world studies and data from the vaccine. In these cases, however, there is no guarantee that the new immunization is going to happen. Health authorities also claim that the immunity of the people who built it after two measles vaccines is life. Some doctors, however, believe, based on blood tests on their patients that there are cases when people built immunity obviously vaccinated, which, however, over the years has decreased. Dr. angel Kunchev reported that national 2018. 92.2 percent of the children at 13 months were vaccinated against measles, and requires inmunizaciones calendar, and in children older than 12 years old when revaccinated, the average is 87.4. To the question ""Diary"" he said that the health authorities have doubts that these data are not real, as discovered and cases registered and inscribed vaccinations, but after checking for antibodies found that there was no immunization. This problem was originally quite acute standout in Samokov, where serious discrepancies between the declared and the real vaccine. Health authorities accused the compositions of medical checks to collect about 40 serumn control samples from each area to make it more clear and correct picture of imunizations coating. Already some of them have been proven and Sofia, for example, noted such a big difference. Dr. Kunchev expressed the hope that in the near future to have a more accurate and complete picture of what percentage of people actually have been vaccinated and have immunity against measles. Currently installed 497 cases of infection of measles, the center in Blagoevgrad, where the first cases have already been simmering.

The matter told the news agency Reuters. – We're going backwards, said Reuters director Kate O'brien, the World health organization of the WHO's immunization and vaccines department. O'brien says the culprits are a weak health care in different countries and incorrect information about vaccines. Measles sufferers is in the world almost three times more than last year.

Mia Kontio Mia Kontio did not know what was infected, but my guess is it came already before the trip to Brussels. He studied there at the university, which had students from about 70 countries.

"2620","Measles has disastrous consequences on our immune system. We already knew that this disease weakens our immunity lasting and makes us vulnerable to other pathogens, viral or bacterial. Two teams, american and English, come to reveal the causes of this vulnerability : the infection would lead to a kind of amnesia of the immune system ! For this study, 77 children aged 4 to 17 years old, never suffering from measles and not vaccinated, were followed. The researchers are interested in the repertoires of antibodies to these children before and after infection by the measles. As a reminder, the antibodies are molecules capable of detecting and neutralizing pathogens in a specific manner. They are present on the surface of B lymphocytes or secreted by them. In Cambridge, the United Kingdom, Velislava Petrova and her team have highlighted two phenomena at the origin of this immunosuppression post-measles. The first corresponds to the reduction of reserves of B-lymphocytes naive, the cells that specialize in B-lymphocytes issuers of antibodies as soon as they encounter an antigen and are activated. The second phenomenon is the reduction of reserves of B-cell memory. The latter, in storing the properties of the antigens already encountered, are able to provide an immune response more rapid and more intense at the second encounter with the same pathogen. By destroying these two reservations, the measles thus prevents the body react quickly to a pathogen. Worse, it destroys the immune memory created earlier, thus preventing a rapid response and targeted ! On their side, in Boston, in the United States, Michael Mina and his colleagues have highlighted that the measles destroyed 11 to 73 % of the repertoire of antibody, in the two months following the infection. If the researchers then observed that the reserve of antibodies reconstruct naturally when the children were again exposed to pathogens, this mass destruction severely impacts the immune memory and therefore the speed of reaction. Over the past twenty years, vaccination campaigns have helped to drastically reduce the infections by measles, saving over 20 million lives. But the various campaigns, anti-vaccination, and the restricted access to this method of prevention, cause, today, 7 million infections per year around the world. With these new findings, the researchers hope to highlight the importance of vaccination. Not only for measles itself, but also to avoid weakening the immune system against other pathogens.",62,"france"

To address this question, evaluated Mina and his colleagues are huge records from the USA, Denmark, England and Wales, covering both the time before the widely available vaccination in the sixties, as well as the period thereafter. The analysis showed that the decrease of childhood diseases following the introduction of vaccination was abundantly clear. In unvaccinated populations and up to 50 percent of all child could be death on any other infections, which occurred after a measles disease, This effect is even held. At any time, the best predictor of poorer deaths were not directly caused by measles, the total number of measles cases in the previous three years, explains Mina. This suggests that the measles affected children were three years later at an increased risk to die of an infection. These temporal correlations provide researchers but only to a limited extent, digestion. ""In the end, these are all epidemiological relationships,"" says Mina. ""You have to go deep into the biology in."" Also in this area were researchers to new insights.

The Minas Team has also developed a Test to antibodies from blood samples to catalog. These proteins are produced by certain immune cells and to pathogens, neutralize. Most of the Tests are only designed for a single type of antibodies. Mina, however, has developed tiny biological Sensors that can discover in a passage of hundreds of thousands. By enabling scientists to apply this Test both before and after an infection, you can determine how many and which antibody has lost someone due to a measles infection.",62,"germany"

Division of sanitary inspection of Management of health Tel.: ( 352) 247-85650 22-03-2019 The Directorate of health wishes to inform the population that an outbreak of measles has been identified in Luxembourg. Measles is a viral disease highly contagious : in a population of non-immunized, an infectious person can infect 15 to 20 people. The first signs of infection are rhinitis (runny nose), conjunctivitis (eyes red and watery) and a cough, accompanied by fever. The rash, which has given its name to the disease is redness that starts at the face and behind the ears and lasts about 5 days. Measles is not a disease trivial : it can cause serious complications that can leave significant sequelae, or even progress to death. Severe complications are more frequent in young children less than a year old and the adult for more than twenty years. Pregnant women and immunocompromised individuals are at particular risk. There is no treatment for the disease, only the symptoms can be alleviated by medication, in case of need. Vaccination is the only way to protect against measles and to prevent the spread of the virus in the population. Two doses of measles vaccine are required to confer complete protection. Currently, 5 cases of measles have been confirmed in Luxembourg. Although the focus is currently located, the investigation conducted by the health Directorate with infected people and their contacts shows that there is a risk of the spread of the disease in the population. Check the vaccination status In this particular situation and in order to stop the spread of the virus, the Directorate of health invited the population to control the vaccination status : for anyone born after 1980, the immunization status is up-to-date if two doses of measles vaccine are included in the book of vaccination. If the vaccination status is not up to date : vaccination is recommended : for children, 2 doses of the combined vaccine against measles, mumps, rubella and varicella (RORV) are recommended from the age of 12 months for adults born after 1980 who have not received two doses of measles-containing vaccine, a booster of MMR vaccine is recommended. for people who have been in contact with a case of measles, vaccination, if it is carried out within 72 hours of the first contact potentially infecting, can avoid the occurrence of the disease or ease the symptoms. Measles : who To contact and when, In case of the occurrence of symptoms suggestive of measles, it is recommended to contact his family doctor and limit contact with people at risk are not protected against measles. Measles is a notifiable disease by the physician who establishes the diagnosis.

In a statement, which was signed by David Cross, the deputy director-general of Health, the agency also stated that due to the holiday season, there is a greater movement of travelers, while stressing the importance of vaccination before travelling to countries or regions where there are outbreaks of measles. It is recommended that, ideally, four to six weeks before you travel, check out the Newsletter on the Individual's Health (immunization card) and, if necessary, to get vaccinated and to vaccinate their family members,” said the statement. The DGS stressed that the National Program of Vaccination (PNV) recommends that two doses of vaccine against measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine (VASPR), at 12 months of age and at the age of five. For those who travel to countries or regions where there are outbreaks of measles, and which do not have a credible history of the disease, and in the PNV it is recommended that between six and 12 months should be vaccinated with one dose of VASPR, on the order of a physician.

In New York, the authorities have invited parents to bring forward the vaccination in risk areas to protect the little ones. Until now, the calendar included the vaccination for the first time against the measles, mumps, and rubella around the year of age, but given the increase in cases, babies in areas with measles outbreaks are being vaccinated even before this date. The incidence of measles in the U.S. continues to grow, and have already been posted at least 704 cases to date in 2019, the highest in 25 years, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), who have launched an urgent campaign to remember the importance of the vaccination, since almost three-quarters of the cases infected are people not vaccinated. ""I encourage health care workers to encourage parents to vaccinate their children to protect them and to prevent the diseases that can be prevented with vaccines, is spreading in their communities. We must unite as a country to eliminate it once more the measles and to prevent future outbreaks,"" said the director of the CDC, Robert Redfield. According to the CDC, the current outbreak originated in unvaccinated people who were infected abroad and came back to the country. It is for this reason that the authorities are emphasizing the need to get vaccinated in case you are planning to leave the united States. According to data from the CDC, measles is still a fairly common disease in many parts of the world and causes approximately 89.780 deaths per year. Of the total patients of measles registered until the 26th of April, 71% are people who were not vaccinated, 11 % were vaccinated but only with one of the recommended dose, and 18 % did not know whether they had been vaccinated or not. The states that have observed a greater number of cases are Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Nevada, new Jersey, New York, Oregon, Texas, Tennessee, and Washington. However, the bulk is concentrated in three outbreaks: two in the state of New York and the other in the state of Washington. In the case of New York, the two outbreaks are concentrated in communities of jewish ultra-orthodox, a district of Brooklyn, and another in Rockland county, on the outskirts of the city. Among the communities ultra-orthodox of Brooklyn there is a debate between those who defend the inoculations and those who reject them because, according to them, contain the ""DNA of monkey, rat and pig"", are made of cells of human fetuses aborted and generate autism. That is one of the hoaxes that is being spread. ""It is imperative that we correct the erroneous information and apacigüemos parents fearful so that they can protect their children from diseases that leave long-term consequences on their health,"" said one of the officials of the health department.

On the basis of the chain of american television NBC, and informs Europa Press, the ship could belong to the Church of Scientology. ""Measles is a highly contagious disease.

"54912","Measles killed 72 children and adults in the European Region of the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2018. According to their data, from January to December of 2018, 82.596 people in 47 out of 53 countries contracted measles. In this way, the total number of people infected with the virus was the highest this decade: 3 times more than in 2017 and 15 times more than in 2016. However, according to figures released this Thursday by the WHO, the increase in cases of measles contrasts with that Europe has reached in 2018 its higher estimated coverage for the second dose of vaccination (90% in 2017). More european children received the complete series of two doses in 2017 than in any year since the who began collecting data on the second dose in 2000. The coverage with the first dose of the vaccine also increased slightly, to 95 percent, the highest level since 2013. On the other hand, at least almost two thirds (61%) of the total cases of measles required hospitalization due to complications. In any case, the who warns that progress in Europe, based on the achievements at the national level, “may mask the gaps in the sub-national levels, which often are not recognized until outbreaks occur”. “The progress has been uneven between countries and within them, leaving each time more groups of people unprotected and giving rise to a record number of people affected by the virus in 2018”, criticize. In this same line, the regional director of WHO for Europe, Zsuzsanna Jakab, notes that “the outlook for 2018 makes it clear that the current pace of progress in increasing immunization rates will not be enough to stop the circulation of the measles”. “Although the data indicate a coverage of immunization exceptionally high at the regional level, it also reflects a record number of affected and dead. This means that the gaps at the local level still offer an open door to the virus,” he adds. A total of 43 european countries had interrupted transmission of endemic measles for at least 12 months to the end of 2017. Some of them also managed to limit the spread of the virus to very few cases in 2017 and 2018, which shows that the elimination of the disease “is available” across Europe, according to the WHO.",62,"spain"

"31315","By Jeremiah Kariuki and Anna Balint  This month the World Health Organization (WHO) reported that the numbers of measles cases around the world had risen by 300% in the first three months of the year in comparison with 2018. Save the Children’s Emergency Health Unit (EHU) has already responded to three measles outbreaks this year, in South Sudan, Kenya and Madagascar. This is more than in any previous year.  Measles is a highly contagious disease. At its simplest it can cause fever, rash and a cough. However, complications are relatively common and can have severe, even lethal, implications, including pneumonia, blindness and brain inflammation. Children under 5 years have a particularly high risk of getting serious complications, and the risks are even more pronounced in countries with high malnutrition rates and poor healthcare. In Madagascar, one of the poorest countries in Africa, the most recent measles outbreak has seen over 118,000 infections and 1,700 deaths so far.  Vaccines are highly effective in preventing the spread of measles. In Madagascar, Save the Children supported the Ministry of Health and the WHO with a national mass vaccination campaign to stop the outbreak from spreading further. We focused on providing supervision, operational and logistics support in the northeast, Sava region, of the country.  Overcoming challenges to reach all children  Compared with our previous measles responses, the campaign in Madagascar provided a unique set of challenges around resource mobilisation, community resistance and accessibility. Some vaccination sites were so remote that it was impossible to reach them by vehicle, leaving teams to trek through mountainous and forested regions for two days in order to get to them – with another two days to come back. This meant dealing with challenges in communicating with the teams in the field, as there was no mobile network, and in maintaining the cold chain. The remoteness also meant that the vaccines and other materials had to be transported on canoes and carried by human porters to the sites before the campaign started. Despite these challenges, our dedication ensured the materials made it to all the vaccination sites, travelling to sites that even the district’s medical inspectors had never visited, helping to reach the hardest-to-reach children.  While most parents were keen to get their children vaccinated and engaged with the campaign, the vaccination teams faced community resistance from some parents and schools. Community mobilisation played a crucial role in dispelling misinformation and convincing parents of the benefits of vaccinating their children. Local community leaders had an active role in informing people of the campaign, the necessity of vaccination to prevent the spread of measles, and the risks posed to the community by not vaccinating children.  Despite challenges, the campaign was successful with more than 180,000 children vaccinated in the two districts where we worked. The Ministry of Health has already reported a drop in the number of measles cases in the vaccinated areas, demonstrating the immediate impact of the campaign on the epidemic in Madagascar and its children, even in the hardest-to-reach areas.",62,"uk"
"33614","Half a million children in the UK are at risk of measles because they have not been vaccinated, according to Unicef, the UN agency, last month, and the problem is getting worse.  Hence the campaign by Matt Hancock, the health secretary, to persuade parents to vaccinate their children, which we report today. “Those who have promoted the anti-vaccination myth are morally reprehensible, deeply irresponsible and have blood on their hands,” he said.  He is right. The risks from the side-effects of immunisation are small in relation to the real and life-threatening risks of measles and other diseases. This is more true now that it is less possible to rely on herd immunity – the principle that, as long as nearly everyone else is immunised, the risk from not being immunised is low.  Download the new Indpendent Premium app Sharing the full story, not just the headlines  And, while it is not possible to prove a negative, it is as clear as it can be that there is no link between the MMR vaccine and autism, as was irresponsibly claimed by Andrew Wakefield, the discredited former doctor. The Independent is proud of its role in countering his unethical campaign to spread misinformation.  Unfortunately, Mr Wakefield’s efforts are now part of a wider anti-vaxx movement that has been turbocharged by the ability of social media to spread quackery and conspiracy theories.

Fortunately, deaths from measles in the UK are still very rare, but the threat is real. Inevitably, the health secretary was asked in his interview this morning if he thought vaccination should be compulsory. He said: “I don’t want to reach the point of compulsory vaccination. I said I’ll rule nothing out, but I don’t want to reach that point. I don’t think we’re near there.”  This is the right approach. While The Independent is committed to the principles of liberalism, vaccination is one of those difficult questions on which a balance has to be struck. Even John Stuart Mill would recognise that one parent’s liberty to decide their child should not be vaccinated might clash with another child’s right not to suffer a life-changing illness.  But, as Mr Hancock said, we are not yet at the point where the state has to intervene to force children to be vaccinated against their parents’ wishes. Max Davie of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health says that the government should first tackle “the administrative and resource problems resulting from the split of public health to local authorities”.  It may be that a renewed public information campaign, and a more rigorous logistical focus, is what is needed to put immunisation rates back on an upward trajectory. Mr Hancock should devote his attention to the nuts and bolts of good administration before considering drastic, illiberal measures. But he is quite right not to rule them out.",62,"uk"

"5180","Ireland’s measles outbreak has worsened due to the decline in vaccination uptake. Health experts have expressed their concern about the increasing number of measles cases across Ireland.  They have stressed the importance of vaccinating your children against the illness as it can be extremely serious in some cases.  Doctors have also advised parents to vaccinate their children against the virus by getting the MMR vaccine.  There have been 65 reported cases of the measles in Ireland, with outbreaks occurring in Limerick and Dublin, as well as the west and southeast.    Dr Kevin Kelleher, who is the assistant national director for public health at the HSE, said there is a worrying number of teenagers and adults who have been affected by the outbreak.  He explained that 10 to 30 percent of the population are not vaccinated against the highly infectious viral illness.  The HSE is urging those who have not been vaccinated to get the MMR vaccine.  The first symptoms of measles are usually fever, runny nose, cough, and runny eyes. The rash will appear a few days later usually starting on the face and neck and progressing to other parts of the body. In the beginning stages, the rash looks like red patches that are flat but soon begin to rise. Fever will climb and can become dangerously high.    There may be nausea, diarrhoea, and swollen lymph nodes as well. The rash is very itchy and will last about five days.    Complications can include ear infections, pneumonia, meningitis, encephalitis, and other brain-related illnesses.  Experts suggest staying at home and contacting your GP if you think you or your child have contracted measles.",61,"ireland"

The why is soon told. Not be vaccinated against the measles will be a criterion of exclusion from participation in the training program, the university abroad, Erasmus, and by sports associations, as well as from the police and the fire brigade. Not really new to the world of sport, and the fire brigade, but in the academic world, the news is greeted with a long series of question marks.

""You have to understand if there is a reciprocity explains further, if an Erasmus student leaves Italy vaccinated, just as it will be mandatory for foreign students in the entry?"". The issue is delicate. On the one hand there is the protection of the health, on the other, the right to study, and the news comes as the university udinese is preparing the list of Erasmus students, about 400 of them.

The obligation, in reality, is not new. ""It is from the 60's that those who register must declare it to have been vaccinated"". But so far you went in the word.

"45312","ACCORDING to THE INSTITUTE OF HEALTH CARLOS III EP - 17 October 2019 - Castilla-La Mancha, spain member of the Spanish Society of Pediatric Extrahospitalaria and Primary Care (Sepeap), meeting this Thursday in Toledo at its thirty-third Congress, has been debated about the measles, a disease that was almost eradicated in the year 2000 and that has resurfaced in Europe, with the emergence of more cases in the first half of 2019, which in the last twenty years. Castilla-la Mancha is The second autonomous community with the most incidence of this disease after Catalonia, according to data from the Institute of Health Carlos III. In just two months, January and February of this year, the european continent already had to 34,000 cases of measles. Vaccination policies insufficient and the rise of the movements antivacunas have contributed to this reactivation, as reported by Sepeap in the press release. In Spain, the disease does not have much impact thanks to vaccination programs, but in 2019, until the month of may, totaled 165 cases, a figure higher than the global last year, with 138 patients of measles. Global numbers of measles In terms of global figures, in the first seven months of 2019 were recorded 370.000 cases of a disease ""serious, highly contagious, severe acute complications and other very serious and can appear up to twenty years after"". It affects in a serious way to the defenses of the child, but about all of the pregnant, which is more vulnerable to other infections and is more contagious than ebola, tuberculosis or the flu. A person can catch the virus up to two hours after the carrier has left a room. It spreads through the air and infects the respiratory tract, and may spread to the whole person not protected and endangering the lives of malnourished children or babies who are too young to be vaccinated. Once that occurs the infection, there is no specific treatment for measles, so the vaccination is a fundamental tool, with an efficiency of between 95 and 98 percent. In the Congress, pediatricians have recommended that everyone born after 1970 to review their immunization to ensure that they are immunized properly, and that you have at least two doses of mmr vaccine. In addition, keep in mind that if the vaccination occurred before the first year of age the child was protected during that time, but it still lacked immunological memory -generated at one year of age-so that the person would need two doses of vaccine instead of one more. Special attention should pay the women who were able to be vaccinated for rubella, because they are protected against this disease, but does not count as a second dose for measles. The Congress of the Sepeap puts special emphasis on the training of young professionals so that they can face any circumstance in the query. This is especially important in the case of measles, a disease that the majority of young pediatricians do not know as it was virtually eradicated. Thanks to the workshops of rashes -skin rash which manifest infections-can reacquaint yourself with this disease and be prepared to meet the new cases that emerge.",61,"spain"

"31114","Editors Note: The below was kindly sent to us by a regular reader.  It was interesting to see Boris jumping on the pro-vaccination bandwagon (pointing out in yesterdays Daily Telegraph that action must be taken to increase the number of children vaccinated). He blames social media for permitting the sharing of ‘anti-vax misinformation’.  Well, let’s have some correct information here to set the record straight.  Although the WHO in their great wisdom (bear in mind they are the sales and marketing branch of the pharmaceutical sector which seems to control Western medicine these sad days) estimate that there were 158,000 deaths from measles in 2011, that is across the world and almost entirely in developing countries.  Fact, according to www.gov.uk: only 1 (yes, one!) person in the UK died from measles in 2017, ditto 2016 and zero people in the two previous years.  Another interesting fact (if the Office for National Statistics is to be believed): deaths from measles dropped to negligible numbers in the UK in the early 20th century (generally believed to be due to improvements in plumbing begun in Victorian times; don’t forget, these infectious diseases only really took off big time when people started living densely in cities during the industrial revolution).  See below, ONS graph showing a huge decrease in deaths from measles between 1901 to 1940s. The number of deaths from measles in the UK in the 40s was negligible. Then the measles vaccine was brought in in 1968 in the UK…and the pharmaceutical sector would like you to give them the credit for it. Look carefully at the graph and see if you think they deserve the credit. Naturally, they make billions out of selling vaccines at extortionate prices to the NHS, conning our taxpayers who fund the NHS.  I am not writing to persuade people not to vaccinate their children; that is their decision, but I would like to be sure people do hear all sides of the story – not just what the pharmaceutical sector tells gullible politicians (most of whom know next to nothing about the subject apart from the mantras that doctors are taught in medical school – they are safe, they save lives. Incidentally, the pharmaceutical sector has a big influence in determining the medical school syllabus.  Personally, given the link with Alzheimer’s disease, I’d rather not inject myself or my family with anything containing aluminium. Injecting is so much worse than ingesting as it bypasses the body’s natural defences which normally try to protect our fragile nervous systems from heavy metals. I imagine this aluminium is also responsible at least in part for a lot of other neurological damage in children as well as adults (Parkinson’s Disease). It is, after all, a known neurotoxin. That’s a fact!  You will not hear any of this in the mainstream press as they are bought off by the pharmaceutical sector.",61,"uk"
"31514","If your child catches chickenpox or the measles, they will more than likely struggle with itching and feel irritable and under the weather for a week or two, but if managed properly your child should recover from both before long. But in the meantime, what's the best way to treat the painful itching?  Our resident pharmacist Rita Ghelani speaks to GP Dr Sarah Jarvis, consultant in infectious diseases Dr Sarah Wakelin, and consultant paediatrician Dr Gareth Tudor-Williams about how to manage these common but uncomfortable childhood illnesses:  The difference between chickenpox and measles  Chickenpox and measles are common childhood illnesses caused by different viruses that both result in a rash. While both chickenpox and measles are highly contagious, The duration of the two viruses differ and a child with chickenpox is likely to feel a lot less sick compared to a child with measles, and measles symptoms may last longer. However, treatments for chickenpox and measles are more or less the same.    • Chickenpox  Known medically as varicella, chickenpox is caused by the varicella-zoster virus, which is highly contagious and spreads quickly. Early symptoms of chickenpox include your child feeling generally unwell, losing their appetite and developing a fever. A red, spotty rash typically appears a couple of days later. This turns into fluid-filled blisters, which eventually scab over. Around 90 per cent of children catch chickenpox before they reach the age of four.    • Measles  Measles is on the rise, due to poor take-up of the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccination that was linked inaccurately to autism. Measles is more serious than chickenpox and can lead to complications such as hearing loss. In rare cases, it can prove fatal. The symptoms of measles include fever, red eyes, a red-brown spotty rash and sensitivity to light.  Chickenpox and measles treatment tips  The rash that develops with both chickenpox and measles can be very uncomfortable, especially if the spots develop in sensitive areas. Treating the itching to help minimise scratching the rash will help to prevent scarring and reduce the risk of the spots getting infected.  The rash that develops with both chickenpox and measles can be very uncomfortable.  'As measles and chickenpox are caused by viruses, there is no cure,' says Dr Jarvis. 'But most children will get better soon and there are things you can do to help relieve your child's symptoms.'  Scratching blisters can lead to further infections, sleepless nights and permanent scarring, but there are several over-the-counter remedies to counter the itching outbreak. Try the following tips to treat both chickenpox and measles and your little one should start to feel better in a week or two:  Isolate your child if they have chickenpox or measles  Both measles and chickenpox are highly contagious, so your child should remain at home. 'When you first notice the spots, call your child's nursery or school immediately,' says Dr Wakelin.  Keep infected children away from pregnant women, newborn babies and relatives in hospital or anyone with a weak immune system, such as patients undergoing chemotherapy or individuals with HIV or AIDS. These groups of people could develop serious complications if they catch measles or chickenpox.    Keep your child cool  It's important that you keep your child cool because heat and sweat can make the itching worse.  'Dress your child in light, loose fitting cotton clothing and keep bedding to a minimum, so they don't get too hot,' says Dr Jarvis.' Sweaty skin is more likely to feel irritated and uncomfortable.'  Keep hydration levels topped up  Make sure that your child drinks plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration. Mix in some orange, pineapple or grape juice if you struggle to persuade them to drink plain water.  Avoid salty foods, which can make sore throats feel worse. Serve soup, which is nutritious and easy to swallow – but don't serve it too hot.  Sugar-free ice lollies will cheer up your sick child, soothe a sore throat and are a good way of keeping them hydrated.    Stop your child from scratching  Avoid scratching the blisters because of the risk of infection. Trim your child's fingernails and keep them clean and short to prevent them from scratching the itchy fluid-filled blisters, which causes skin damage. You can also place scratch mitts or socks over your child's hands at night to stop scratching.  'The red spots of chickenpox are very itchy and scratching can lead to infection and eventually scarring – so it is important to break the itch/scratch cycle,' recommends Dr Tudor-Williams.  Reduce fever with paracetamol  If your child is in pain or has a fever you can give them paracetamol (eg Calpol). Follow the dosage instructions provided in the leaflet.  'Infant paracetamol reduces your child's fever. Your local pharmacist can advise how much is appropriate for your child's age,' says Dr Jarvis.  Don't give small children ibuprofen or aspirin. Light-sensitive children with measles may also prefer a darkened bedroom.  Use calamine lotion to soothe itching  Try aqueous calamine cream or calamine lotion on the spots. Aqueous calamine cream is easier to apply then calamine lotion as it has a thicker consistency.  'Calamine lotion, which contains zinc oxide, provides a temporary soothing cooling effect, but tends to crust over and be messy,' says Dr Wakelin.    Try cooling gels to relieve scratching  Cooling gels, such as Virasoothe, are also pleasant to use and don't sting. Virasoothe lessens the urge to scratch blisters and encourages healing by reducing infection. Long-term scarring is reduced and a less uncomfortable child will be able to sleep better.  'Virasoothe helps to hydrate skin and cool itchy lesions by drawing moisture up to the surface,' says Dr Wakelin. This gel can safely be applied to both body and face and is available in pharmacies. It is suitable for children over 6 months old.    Antihistamine to ease itching and aid sleep  To help ease the itching and soothe the spots, use an antihistamine such as chlorphenamine (for children aged one year and older).  In attacks of chickenpox or measles where the itching is so serious that the child's sleep is disturbed, antihistamines such as piriton which has a sedative effect can be used. Getting a good night's sleep aids healing and will make your child feel less grouchy.  'To help your child get to sleep, a sedating antihistamine may be useful before bed,' suggests Dr Jarvis. 'Ask your pharmacist for their advice about which products are suitable for your child's age-group.'    Try oatmeal baths to relieve itchy skin  Giving your toddler a cool bath can help relieve itching. Try using an oatmeal bath product, such as Aveeno bath oil or sprinkle finely ground oatmeal into a tub of warm, running water to soothe itchy chickenpox skin. Oatmeal makes the bath slippery, so help your child in and out.  Cool sponging may also help to cool children down. Adding a small cup of baking soda to bathwater can also relieve itching. After a bath pat the skin dry rather than rub, then apply aqueous calamine cream to the spots.  When should you visit the doctor?  Ring your GP instead of visiting the surgery, to prevent the spread of infection.  'If you think that you or your child has measles or chickenpox, call your GP, especially if your child is under four weeks old, has infected skin blisters or is experiencing breathing difficulties or chest pains,' says Dr Jarvis",61,"uk"

In the period from 1977 to 1979. a number of publications in the media space in the UK, revealing notes of doubt in the effectiveness of vaccination, and concerns about risks to children's health, cause a complete failure among the population from vaccination and widespread negative attitude in General to immunization.

Alas, it turned out, makes the... In 2009. it was registered the first sharp blow of measles and we have. The doctors then were categorical – the reason for this is the regularity of parents who are not vaccinial children. And while in 2009. patients were 2200 in 2010. there is something worst – affected were more than 24 thousand people. 24 children died! They touched upon all regions. In 2016. experts warned that measles and whooping cough are returning because of failure, more and more parents to vaccinate their children.

This is the second death from Morbillivirus registered in the city of catania from the beginning of the year, the fourth in six months. The child was too young to be vaccinated, because the vaccine MPRV is administered starting from 12-14 months. Someone has suggested that to infect the child was the mother, but this hypothesis has not any feedback. We only know that the mother has the measles, but could have the contract at a later time, through the son. What is certain is that the disease was transmitted by a person not vaccinated. The comments of the father of the child who died from measles in Catania a Few websites in the past few days claimed that the child is not dead because of the measles but because “heart disease” when in fact he had a slight heart defect. Dr. Sergio Pintaudi, director of the Resuscitation of the Garibaldi hospital, Catania, explained that the child was hospitalized in Acireale on the 27th of march last, and which was subsequently transferred to Catania following the deterioration of his condition. Previously, he was in hospital from 3 to 16 march in the department dia pediatrics hospital Garibaldi-Nesima for bronchopneumonia and bronchiolitis in the presence of a respiratory syncytial virus. LiveSicilia reported that from the beginning of 2018 today at the Garibaldi hospital, Catania have recorded 218 cases of infection by measles. In the comments to the post on Facebook of LiveSicilia a person who identifies himself as the father of the child asks for respect for the pain of the family and reaffirms that vaccines are important (the other son is vaccinated) and writes that “it is important that the hospital protects our children that less than 10 months must have a different treatment”. Apparently the father believes that the child has contracted the measles in hospital where he contracted the virus because of the high number of non-vaccinated patients. In a further comment, the father explains that the son was “healthy "" and "" non-disease” and repeat the request already made elsewhere: “compared to the pain of the families, and I ask everyone to avoid to continue to write as emeritus ca***you only heard or read by some other ignorant”. For the avoidance of doubt, the father repeats to be in favour of vaccination. In short, the child – as is obvious – I was not vaccinated not because he's the son of “free market” but simply because it was too small to make the vaccine. If others were vaccinated, the child would have been protected by the herd effect. In another comment intervenes a woman that at first reading seems to be the mother of the child but which later turns out to be a mother alien to each other that perhaps he is quoting the words read on some other message board Facebook from the mother (or someone who claims to be). The calm reaction of the parents free-vax to the death of the child of Catania, As usual, the news was widely commented on and examined thoroughly in every detail in the groups of "" parents “for free choice”. The free vax, which words they are always thinking about the children and want them to defend from adverse reactions, have not lost time. They discovered for example that the baby was “probably” infected by a person just vaccinated. Others however believe that he had contracted the measles because of the vaccine that had just been administered. Both of these versions are not true. Many are convinced that it is of the usual media manipulation. There are even those who do not believe even died of measles because it “has not seen the red dots” (via the Internet, of course). We should not trust the newspapers, the television and doctors. All lie because they all want to convince the parents to make the vaccines mandatory. Some mothers say that in the end the measles there has always been and that no one is ever worried. The human body is perfect, don't forget, ' writes a mother who obviously thinks that vaccines and medicines are unnecessary. Then there are the parents who have theories even more interesting, for example, those who discover that those who vaccinate against measles “will be dependent for life by the vaccine,” that “at the age of 70 can be deadly!” in all the other age “generally is not fatal”. All without even realizing to be commenting on the death of a child of 10 months who died because of measles. Clearly the pharmaceutical companies want to get their own to force us to take vaccines for always, “by blocking the natural cycle of childhood diseases”. The natural cycle that, unfortunately, also includes the death. But as long as they are the children of others, where is the problem? The important thing is to do things “second nature”, as did our grandparents and our parents. And who knows what he thinks today that mom at the end of march, commenting on the news of another case of measles registered in Catania at the end of march he wrote, “mandatene a little bit in Milan, too, so add it to the infectious diseases of my daughter.”",60,"italy"

""Measles is a potentially serious illness. The CDC systematically monitor the evolution of the epidemiological situation in Greece and internationally, evaluates the data and may -depending on the course of things - to recommend additional measures"", he stresses.

The possibility of the spread of measles in our country is real"". Mr. Panagiotopoulos stresses that ""the most effective way to prevent measles is vaccination with the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR vaccine). Parents need to know that it is a very safe vaccine, as has been the experience of the vaccination of several million children worldwide for more than 4 decades. The symptoms of measles are a number of features: fever with rash (i.e., redness-pimples), while usually preceded by a phase with general symptoms (runny nose etc.).

You and your colleague want to use the analysis of the outbreak, to draw conclusions for the future handling of infectious diseases in the city. 61 measles cases in the eat In the entire year of 2016, there had been in to eat three measles cases. After the health Department until mid-April, ten of the reported cases of templates, the number has increased up to 61 confirmed cases.

The accumulation in this age, with infection within families. 20 Sufferers were between 20 and 40 years old. In this age range, there is an ""unwitting Impflücke"" for birth cohorts before 1991: the year the Standing Committee on vaccination had changed the requirements for the measles vaccination. Since then, it has vaccinated a child age two Times. Older than 40 years, two Essenes were in the disease. ""This can be explained by the fact that people in this age range or older almost all had the measles as a child and you don't even get,"" says Marina Lorsch. Demonstrably not 34 Affected were vaccinated. In the remaining 27 Patients, the vaccination status could not be determined. Especially babies who received the Vaccination during the first year of life, and citizens, whose body can build up in spite of vaccination not Vaccinated are at risk. Schools and nurseries were informed of The health Department and the city responded with several measures to the outbreak. The cooperation between the office, clinics, ambulance service, Doctors and emergency practices intensified. Medical staff was asked to review the vaccination status and to close gaps. Also schools and nurseries were informed. In the case of the Doctors was noticeably vaccinated more. the Impfsprechstunde was extended.

"6290","After the criticism of the head of the european Health for Italy, the decline of vaccinations (as if he did not know that in half of Europe there is no obligation of vaccination), and after the warning given to american tourists that arrive in Italy, now even the New York Times goes down hard, by attacking a force of Italian politics, the 5S, that would make campaigns against vaccines. Cricket already has defended himself from criticism, but I find it rather odd that a newspaper in north america is deploy in this way, forcing the terms of the question. From the observer constant and long-time - on these issues, I can say that besides a few slip about chemtrails and some of parliament that expresses personal positions, in the last few years I have not seen campaigns in the media part grillina, even if some of his output has been decidedly out of place and busted (like the one on the mammograms). But even this controversy there may be, because the topic has now become a national emergency, when objectively it is not, and while our health continues to falter - they say all of the most recent research - with serious effects on the life and death of the people. However, thousands of families do not see the other that danger in immunization, vaccination, showing sometimes lack of willingness to listen to in the belief - incorrectly - that they are all corrupt and in the pay of the tncs, while the health institutions respond in the same way, by resorting to alarmism various, almost always unwarranted. The last cases of meningitis. However, there is something forced and false, indeed of the true buffaloes, that are used as a clave in every direction and from opposite sides of the spectrum. And some of these relate to the measles. First hoax: the vaccine against measles causes autism. The vast majority of research says the exact opposite for years, all over the world and on every magazine scientific weight. I do not think that that write some of the important publications is liquid gold. But, usually, we guessed. Yet these reassurances fail to undermine the certainties of the thousands and thousands of families and in many different countries. Also, because the vaccine damage there are (those who deny it is a liar), though apparently not dramatic. The accusing finger on the risks aims on the trivalent MMR (Measles, pertussis, rubella). But to avoid clashes, misunderstandings, and to remove a portion of the fears, it is not sufficient to make a monovalent vaccine? Maybe the person who is anti vax would continue to be so, but at least some would be blunt. Second hoax: you have to do the antimorbillo. No, in Italy there is a requirement for the measles, because prophylaxis in this case is only recommended, recommended. For all the controversy about this lack of vaccination are, at least in part, instrumental. If you want to increase the security threshold percentage, then you make mandatory this vaccine. The rest is just talk and waste of time. The third hoax: close kindergartens to the non-vaccinated. The case with measles is instead to understand that the problem of the spread of the disease, which can endanger the survival in one or two cases in a thousand - not only about the children. On the contrary. The even tells to a release from the ministry of Health of march, which signaled the rise of the infected: ""More than half of the cases fall in the age group 15-39 years. Were also notified several cases of transmission in health care and in health care workers"". In this age we are at 57 percent of non-vaccinated: a number that is significantly prevalent compared to children are not protected. In the next words of the communiqué, these data were almost forgotten. ""Measles continues to circulate in our Country because of the presence of pockets of susceptible populations, are not vaccinated or who has not completed the vaccination cycle at 2 doses. This is largely due to the increasing number of parents who refuse vaccination"". But as the 57 percent is between 15 and 39 years, and the ministry takes it with the parents? The reality is that it is not obligatory, not a few in the past were not vaccinated, and now for a series of coincidences that should be better examined, the number of the sick increases dramatically. However, the press release gives indications are already clear: if the range most affected is the young adults and many people belong to health-care personnel, then the measures that are most serious - such as the closure of the day nurseries should be extended to schools, to offices, to hospitals, to all the public places... the Fourth hoax: it's all the fault of the web. It is always this press release to make people understand that we are post-truth. In the sense that is certainly true, the ability of social to influence public opinion and to multiply in every direction any message. But if the age group most affected concerns the adults, we are talking about a period in which the social networks had not yet exploded as a means of mass communication. Probably on the alleged negative effects of vaccines, have caught on in past years to other roads, such as the word, the lack of information - we're talking about non-vaccinated thirty, forty years of age - to which, moreover, joins the usual idiosyncrasy of the doctors and nurses to get vaccinated. Are always the last to do it, but they can be the first to contagiarti and to infect. Where: the closure of public places can not only affect the availability of childcare (as we put it with the maternal, enter in structures with the upper classes: the transparency - having regard to the data - might just be the teenagers). As with any new obligations, vaccine, may increase, but must involve the entire population.

The internal investigation launched by the health department of the hospital is going forward rapidly, in order to reconstruct the chain of infections, some of which may have occurred prior to the hospitalizations, and others might be generated from the contact in the department of the hospital by a little girl, the daughter of parents no-vax.

But for the measles, even though our region to wear the black jersey for the highest number of cases registered with Lazio, Piemonte and Lombardy, we are not in front of a new case of Tuscany, such as for meningitis. Randomness or less vaccinations? ""In reality, in Tuscany cow's milk much more than in Lazio, Piemonte less than in Lombardy, but these four are among the regions most populous of Italy, where there are larger cities,"" says Rezza. Therefore, more trade, larger communities, the greater chance of infection? ""Could be an explanation"". Certainly the decline in vaccinations is a fact: ""But even if health professionals do not vaccinate, you are not giving a good example"". Overall, in 2017, Florence, Pistoia, Prato and Empoli, the cases of measles reported were 41, in 2016, were 6, 4 in 2015. The only weapon to protect yourself is vaccination. And at this point, adults who have not had measles and are not vaccinated, they would do well to do it, because the virus contract it in adulthood is much more risky. The vaccination coverage in young children, especially with regard to the measles, from years are under the 95%, which is considered the threshold for obtaining the so-called immunity of the flock, a protection that helps prevent the circulation of the virus.

The authorities will reinforce the particular importance of ensuring the vaccination. The measles outbreak that took place in April and killed a teenage girl 17-year-old, one of the original ideas held by the DGS was that, since the Uk had a very good immunity, the risk of an outbreak is to take on massive proportions, as has been the case in other european countries was smaller.

While in countries like the Congo, which has registered more than 2,700 killed by the disease so far this year, the non-governmental organizations seeking to raise funds to get to immunize the citizens, in developed States like the United Kingdom, extend the antivacunas. The Health department of the british Government estimated that one of every seven children (with an age of five years) who start primary education do not have the day his card, according to a report that picks up the newspaper The Guardian. And the rate is even worse when the study focuses on the population of London, already one out of every four small does not have the required immunizations according to the health system of the country. In Congo, measles kills more than ebola. ""This epidemic, which was declared last June, is already the worst faced by the country in the last decade, with more than 145,000 cases"", declared to the Efe news agency the coordinator of the emergency team of Doctors Without Borders in this country, Fabrizio Andriolo. ""The 2.5 million dollars raised are not enough. The contrast with the epidemic of ebola, which attracts many organizations and hundreds of millions of dollars is alarming,"" said Andriolo. Thanks to a mobile computer, healthcare on the ground of MSF are able to access the more remote areas, as well as to maintain the temperature conditions suitable for the vaccination, which have already been subject to almost 475.000 children between 6 months and 5 years. ""There are multiple factors behind this epidemic,"" confirmed Andriolo, ""but the only way to combat it is through vaccination. If the population is not vaccinated, there will be measles"". This childhood disease, highly contagious, it comes to be lethal, cause significant respiratory complications, especially in young adults. Permissive with the antivacunas in the united States Four out of every 10 parents say that it is very likely that you move your child to another health care provider if your health care professional also attends to children who are not vaccinated by the rejection of their parents, according to a new survey in the united States by the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Michigan, informs the agency Efe. According to their results, three out of 10 parents claim that the Center of your child's Primary Care ask the parents to refuse to receive all the vaccinations that are looking for another doctor. ""Pediatricians strive to keep children healthy through regular health care and this includes encouraging families to follow the vaccination programs are recommended. When a family rejects all childhood vaccines, puts doctors in a difficult position"", say these researchers. A non-vaccinated child is unprotected against diseases harmful and contagious, as the measles, whooping cough and chicken pox. Children who skip vaccines also have the risk of transmitting diseases to other patients. This can be especially dangerous for vulnerable populations, such as infants too young to receive vaccines, elderly patients, patients with weakened immune systems or pregnant women. The survey, based on responses of 2.032 parents of at least one child under the age of 18 years, also found that many parents are unaware of the policies of the Center for Primary Care of their children with respect to children who are not vaccinated. 39 percent of parents noted that their Center has a policy that requires that children get all the recommended vaccinations, and 8 percent say that children are required to get some vaccines. Another 15 percent of parents point out that their Center does not have a policy on vaccination, while 38 percent do not know. Only 6 percent of parents said that his consultation of his children does not allow non-vaccinated children using the same waiting room as other patients, while 2 percent support that allows unvaccinated children to use the waiting room if they wear a mask. 24 percent of parents report that they allow non-vaccinated children using the same waiting room as other patients without restrictions. In addition, parents are also divided in their views on what should be such policies, and whether parents must be notified that there are children whose parents have refused all vaccines. The 17 percent that you should not allow a child to completely non-vaccinated use the waiting room, and 27 percent considrea that children not vaccinated must wear masks in the waiting room to protect the most vulnerable patients. The remaining 28% of parents think that the Primary Care Centre should allow the non-vaccinated child to continue to receive care without restrictions. ""Parents may assume that when they bring their child to the doctor, are in an environment that does not expose your child to diseases. It is possible that parents have not considered that there could be another child in the waiting room, whose parents have refused all vaccines. When asked to think about it, most parents want the doctor's office have any policy to limit the risk of non-vaccinated children"", the researchers conclude.",59,"spain"
"34212","New research, presented at the 5th Conference of the Vaccines of the European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ESCMID) warns of the risks of not vaccinating children, which can extend far beyond a specific vaccine, although currently the most urgent problem to address is the resurgence of the measles. Measles, an infectious disease highly contagious, it is fatal and causes fever, rash and other symptoms in most children, and complications such as pneumonia and swelling of the brain. In 2018, worldwide, the measles killed approximately 1 out of every 75 children infected with the virus, which caused over 100,000 deaths. In addition, the research conducted by the assistant professor Michael Mina, in the Centre of the Dynamics of Communicable Diseases of the School of Public Health, Harvard TH Chan and the Harvard Medical School, and colleagues from his group and from other groups suggests that the measles infection in unvaccinated people increase the risk of other infectious diseases severe posterioresen 2-3 years post-infection. Therefore, after you survive the measles, children can become sick or die from other infections that previously developed immunity, but this immunity was removed by the measles virus. This observation, backed by numerous studies (with the mechanism still in research) shows that when the measles virus infects a person, primarily infects a large proportion of the memory cells of the immune system. This gives as a result the call inmunoamnesia, by which the immune system can't remember some of the diseases that has been fought in the past, exposing the children to re-infection with these other diseases. These findings help to explain the mysterious large falls in the mortality of up to 50% after the introduction of vaccines against measles, although before vaccines measles is usually associated with much less than 50% of child deaths. This has gone unnoticed in previous years because the doctors do not bind, for example, a death due to other infectious disease with an infection of measles, that child could have been held two years before and that erased the memory immune of the child to the other pathogen infection. ""Before the vaccination, measles infected nearly everyone. Because now we think that the infections of measles can erase the memory immune pre-existing, to prevent infection by the measles through vaccination, we avoid future infections with other infectious diseases,"" explains the doctor Mine. According to remember, the epidemiological data from the United Kingdom,the united States and Denmark show that the measles makes children have a greater risk of mortality from infectious diseases other infections not related to the measles for about 2-3 years. ""Before the vaccination, the incidence of measles from year to year could explain almost all the variation in deaths from infectious diseases that have not occurred for several decades. In assembly --added--, this suggests that measles may have been associated with as much as half of all child deaths due to infectious diseases before vaccination and, therefore, explain the mysterious large declines in mortality observed after the introduction of the vaccine"". According to adventure, ""it may be that the only way for a child to recover from this inmunoamnesia is if your memory cells 're-learn' how to recognize and defend yourself against diseases that had known before, and may do so by re-exposure to the pathogen or revaccination against that particular infection"". However, is this new exposure to other pathogens which poses long-term risks after a measles infection. A recent epidemiological study conducted by the colleague of the doctor Mine, dr. Rik de Swart, Department of Virociencias the Erasmus Medical Center in the Netherlands analyzed the clinical outcomes of more than 2,000 children infected with measles in the United Kingdom. In that study, they found that children were much more likely to require visits to the doctor, and had higher rates of prescription of antibiotics for 2-5 years after the measles. To mitigate these long-term effects, the doctor Mine suggested that ""it might be reasonable to consider re-vaccination with other childhood vaccines after measles infection"". However, he adds that, ""because many children infected with measles usually have not been vaccinated, therefore, probably the most important conclusion of these fascinating studies is that preventing measles by vaccination is crucial and the high vaccination coverage is a critical step in today.""",59,"spain"

This way, if you are in that age range and you haven't suffered, or you have not vaccinated before, now is the time to do so with the aim of preventing measles. The Spanish Society of Epidemiology Spanish, in charge of studying this kind of diseases, it also makes an appeal and recommends that they should vaccinate those between 40 and 50 years in case not clear if they have passed the measles. In the rest of Europe, the World Health Organization warns that in countries such as the Uk, Greece, Czech Republic and Albania there has been a resurgence of the disease. Fortunately Spain is a country free of this virus, but if we find cases of measles confirmed. In particular are 233 registered during the first seven months of the year. That is if you are isolated because they are imported from abroad. The coverage of vaccination in our country is good and have been interrupted with ease other possible infections. In a context in which we talk a lot about listeriosis and omeprazole should not turn on the alarms for the measles, but perhaps if you clarify a lot of doubts. Who? When? and why should they get vaccinated? By Noon COPE has passed the Doctor Gabriel Queen, a specialist in Microbiology from the University of Navarra Clinic, which explained that “we want to make that recommendation to those born between the 70's and 80's because it is a time before which it starts to vaccinate against the virus. It is an age group about which you apply the effort of vaccination,” he noted. In case of not being sure of being vaccinated or having passed, there are tests to find out with certainty. In fact, the most recommended is that “people have to go to the primary care physician”. It is of vital importance that these vaccinations are carried out because they “lack vaccination rate very high, above 95%, so that the population is protected,” noted Dr. Gabriel Queen.",59,"spain"

Passengers and crew members who were aboard journeys travelling from Aberdeen to Shetland on October 19 and southbound back to the city on October 20 have been contacted.  Those who travelled northbound to Shetland on October 21 have also been advised.  The ferry called at Kirkwall in Orkney on October 19 and passengers who were on board may also have come into contact with the virus.  Anyone who travelled on any of these routes is asked to stay vigilant and contact their GP or public health team by phone if they develop a fever of 38C or higher (100.4F), have a generalised rash and either a cough, blocked nose and/or conjunctivitis.  The highly infectious viral illness is most common in young children but can be contracted by anyone.  It has cold-like symptoms, which appear around 10 days after infection.  It usually clears in around seven to 10 days, but can lead to serious and life-threatening complications in some people, such as pneumonia and encephalitis.  Keep up to date with the latest news with The Evening Express newsletter  Captain John Strathearn, operations director for Serco NorthLink Ferries, said: “We are continuing to work closely with NHS Shetland to follow NHS protocols and instructions.  “This includes informing all relevant passengers and crew to ensure they have the required information.”  The World Health Organisation confirmed the UK eliminated measles in 2016.  The NHS health board in Shetland has already begun an immediate programme of vaccination for all children, women of child-bearing age, healthcare workers, social care workers and other young adults who have not had two doses of MMR vaccines or a measles-containing vaccine.  NHS Shetland public health principal Elizabeth Robinson said the only way to prevent against measles is to have a vaccination.  She added: “Measles is a highly infectious disease.  “It is possible that subsequent cases of measles could arise in susceptible passengers who have not been vaccinated against the disease who travelled on the same ferry journeys.  “We are aware that there may be increased demand for the MMR vaccine over the next few weeks and we are working to ensure sufficient stocks can be made available as soon as possible.”",59,"uk"

One in seven kids is expected to start primary school next month without having had the two MMR jabs they need to be protected.  Health chiefs warn the 90,000 youngsters will be at increased risk of measles, mumps and rubella.

He will haul in tech bosses to order them to do more after Britain lost its measles-free status with the World Health Organisation.  The country had eliminated the virus three years ago but lost its status earlier this month following a fall in childhood vaccination rates.  One factor is baseless scare stories spread on Facebook and Twitter, often from trolls and bots in hostile states such as Russia.

Dr Mary Ramsay, from PHE, said: “We’re urging parents and their children, no matter how old they are, to check they’ve had two doses of MMR.  “Measles is easy to catch and can kill.

MEASLES is a highly infectious viral illness that can sometimes lead to very serious complications. It can cause things like pneumonia and encephalitis - both of which can kill or leave people seriously disabled for the rest of their lives. Now, experts are calling for measles vaccinations to be made mandatory in certain countries. It's given in two doses as part of the NHS childhood vaccination programme. The first jab is given to kids at around 13 months old, while a second dose is administered at around three years, four months. There is no link at all between having the MMR vaccine and autism - even in children who have other risk factors for the condition, scientists confirmed back in March. That's the conclusion of a nationwide study of all children born in Denmark to Danish-born mums between 1999 and 2010.

"32514","There were 966 reported cases of measles in 2018 in England. This is a massive increase from the year before, when Public Health England reported 259 cases.  The increase has been attributed to a record Europe-wide outbreak which has seen nearly 83,000 people contract measles across the continent from January to December 2018.  The majority of measles cases have been in people who are not vaccinated, especially young people aged 15 and older who missed out on the MMR vaccination when they were younger.  About 30% of those infected have been admitted to hospital.  One of the symptoms of measles is a high temperature, so it’s vital you have an accurate and easy-to-use thermometer to help you monitor your patient.  Head straight to our first look digital thermometer reviews.  Dr Mary Ramsay, head of immunisation at Public Health England, said: ‘We will continue to see measles cases in unvaccinated individuals and are monitoring the situation carefully. People who have not had two doses of the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine are particularly at risk.  ‘The UK achieved WHO measles elimination status last year, so the overall risk of measles to the UK population is low. However, due to ongoing measles outbreaks in Europe, we will continue to see cases in unimmunised individuals and limited onward spread can occur in communities with low MMR coverage and in age groups with very close mixing.’  What are the symptoms of measles?  Measles is a highly infectious virus that causes a rash and high fever. If a child catches it, he or she may spend around five days in bed, and may be off school for 10 days. However, it’s even more serious in adults, and those that catch it could be ill for much longer.  Measles symptoms include:  High temperature and a fever  Sore, red, watery eyes  Coughing  Feeling achy  Blotchy, red-brown rash  According to the NHS, around one in every 15 children will develop more serious complications as a result of measles. These can include ear and chest infections, fits, diarrhoea, encephalitis (infection of the brain), and brain damage.  Fatal cases of measles are extremely rare, but not unheard of.  Measles is a virus, so there’s no specific treatment if you or your child catches it. You can ease symptoms with painkillers and rest, and you should stay home until you’re no longer infectious.  Someone exposed to the virus usually shows symptoms seven to 14 days later. People with measles can spread the disease from four days before the rash starts until about four days after that.  If you’re worried that you or your child might have come into contact with someone with measles, or you think they might have the illness, contact your GP or call the NHS helpline on 111.

Fifty years of the measles vaccine  Last year marked fifty years since the development of the first measles containing vaccine and its introduction into the childhood immunisation programme.  In 1988, the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine (MMR) was introduced, with children receiving one dose when they were around a year old, and a second dose when they were pre-school age.  It is estimated that 20 million measles cases and 4,500 deaths have been prevented since 1968 in the UK because of the vaccination.  In 1967, the year before the first measles vaccine, there were 460,407 notifications of measles cases. By 2016, this figure had dropped to 1,642.  However, there have recently been increases in the number of measles cases as unvaccinated children have picked up the infection in localised outbreaks or while travelling abroad, where vaccination programmes have less uptake.  It’s also linked to a lower uptake of childhood vaccines in the UK, or failing to receive both doses of the MMR vaccine.  Recent outbreaks have hit London, the South East and the North West of England.  There were no cases of measles in Northern Ireland in 2018.  We requested measles data for Wales and Scotland but had not received any prior to publication.",59,"uk"
"37514","ANDREW WAKEFIELD has a lot to answer for. He’s the man who in 1998 claimed — wrongly — that there was a possible link between the MMR vaccine and autism.  His work has since been discredited and he has been struck off as a UK doctor. But in the meantime, take-up of the vaccine was massively affected — even though subsequent studies found NO link to autism.  7 Andrew Wakefield spread lies about a link between the MMR vaccine and autism Credit: AFP - Getty  Even Donald Trump seems to have wised up. In 2015 he ridiculously suggested that vaccines were responsible for what he called an “epidemic” of autism.  Now he is telling Americans to “get their shots” because “vaccinations are so important”.  This comes on the back of news that more people in the US have been infected with the measles in 2019 than any year since the disease was considered eradicated.  Nearly 700 cases have been reported across 22 states. We find ourselves in a very serious situation.  Nearly 170million children under ten — including half a million in the UK and 2.5million in the US — are unprotected from measles, one of the most infectious organisms in existence.  To highlight the graveness of the situation, Unicef is warning of growing outbreaks of the disease.  Because we’ve almost eradicated measles, some people are forgetting that between one and three people in every 1,000 who catch it will DIE.  Others experience serious complications including blindness and pneumonia.  And if you’re thinking about getting pregnant, check beforehand that you’re fully protected against measles, mumps and rubella and have had the MMR injection.  JEOPARDISING HEALTH  Because a rubella infection in pregnancy can lead to serious birth defects and miscarriage.  What this screams to me is that people have lost trust in the pharmaceutical industry, because many often mis-understand what the vaccine does. It does NOT inject toxins nor poison and it does NOT cause autism.  All these theories spread by discredited doctors or idiot celebrities are false. But no matter how scary these “stories” are, NOTHING is more scary than what measles can actually do to you and your kids.  So since we can’t rely on people to do the decent thing and protect themselves and others by having the jab, we should make these vaccinations compulsory. And children who don’t have a certificate to prove they’ve had the jab shouldn’t be allowed into nursery or day care.  Not vaccinating your children is one of the most selfish things you can do. You aren’t just jeopardising the health of your own kids — but the health of thousands of other people too.  7 Even Donald Trump is encouraging parents to make sure their kids get vaccinated, writes Karren Brady Credit: Splash News  Ben Shepherd forced to step in after anti-vaccination campaigner starts screaming at Dr Hilary Jones live on Good Morning Britain  Channel spirit of Madonna  THERE are lots of reasons to love Madonna.

Madge said: “I didn’t go to Lisbon to make a record, that was the last thing on my mind. I went to Lisbon because my son wants to be a professional soccer player . . . [but] I got a little bit depressed.  “I thought it was going to be super fun and adventurous. But then I found myself just going to school and picking up the kids and going to soccer matches.

But while it may be fun for a day or two, it would soon start to wear pretty thin. I was a stay-at-home mum for a bit and it’s the definition of a thankless task. Most of the time, though, I have been a working mother.  I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve had important, non-work things to go to – weddings, birthdays, my own parties – and had to get changed in the car on the way.  If I had my time again, would I do things differently? Perhaps. But as any mum knows – including Madonna – it’s impossible to get it right all the time.

Before a girl of 10 years, then his younger sister (both non-vaccinated by choice of the family), a baby of 11 months (too young to be vaccinated), the other is just a little bigger and then a 16-year-old (even their non-vaccinated): two of them have already been discharged, the other three are still hospitalized but are sfebbrati and conditions that are currently not of concern. After a few days, even with three adults, two young women and a man, were hospitalized in department of infectious diseases of the Policlinico of Bari, where they still are, even in their good condition. It will be the epidemiological investigation conducted by the medical director of the Polyclinic, Matilda Carlucci, and by the local health authority to ascertain what has happened and that has led to eight cases. The General Director of the Asl of Bari, Antonio Sanguedolce, states that the Department of Prevention of Asl ""has put in place as required by the operational guidance from the ministry for the management of epidemics of the same infectious disease"". A situation that pushes doctors and institutions to draw the attention once more on the importance of vaccines. ""A few months ago - has underlined the minister, Grillo - Who has called on the data of vaccination coverage that are still too low. You need to reach more effectively the susceptible individuals, by offering the vaccine also adolescents and young people, and at the same time, put in the actions field standardized and timely to prevent transmission in environments with a greater risk of the epidemic"". From Bari, the director-general of the Hospital, John Best, and as he is the national president of the AOPI (Association of children's Hospitals and Italian), Paul Petralia, launched the appeal to ""vaccinate their children to protect public health"". For Roberto Burioni, one of the doctors in the forefront of the campaign for scientific dissemination in favour of the vaccine, ""measles isolation is not to avoid the contagion, the only prevention is the vaccine."" The story has been the former minister of Health, Beatrice Lorenzin, the current vice chairman of the Mixed Group in the Chamber, author of the law on the obligation of vaccination, asking ""inspections Bari both medical and administrative, as well as a survey of the carpet in the rest of the Country, to understand how it is implemented the law after the circular Cricket"", which would have created ""confusion"" and ""loose guard"". Verification of the chain of infection The medical director, Policlinico of Bari, Matilda Carlucci, is at work this morning to reconstruct the chain of infections that has resulted in a few days to eight hospitalizations for measles (five juveniles and three adults). From the first information to the index case would have been that of a 10 year old girl not vaccinated, the daughter of parents no-vax, hospitalized ten days ago in the infectious diseases department of the paediatric hospital Giovanni XXIII of Bari. The internal investigation will have to assess not only the possible connections between the eight cases, but also that comply with the procedures of care and isolation, and the time of reporting to the Department of prevention of Asl Bari. The outcome of the checks that could get to know each other already in the next few hours. In the meantime, improve the conditions of patients still hospitalized. Two minors, the girl of 10 years who was the first to contract the virus, and the little sister, they have already been discharged. The other three, a baby of 11 months, one 2 years and a teenager of 16 years old will be discharged in the next few days.

Spahn then he added: “It's like in traffic. When you exceed the speed limit and endanger other people, you pay a fine”. As expected, the proposed law has sparked debates and discussions become very heated. The Social democratic Party (Spd), an ally of the government of the Cdu, Angela Merkel, has expressed support. The leading social-democratic, Andrea Nahles, has explained it thus: “There is a duty of protection. Individual freedom has its limits there, where puts at risk the health of others.” He expressed doubts as to “constitutional”, the minister of Health of Lower Saxony, Carola Reimann, the social-democratic as Nahles: “The obligation of vaccination enters a straight leg in the right to self-determination provided by the Constitution, and therefore require special justification.” The federal association of doctors, Frank Ulrich Montgomery, has declared itself in favour: “If the rates of vaccination are very high, certain pathogens can be eliminated even at the global level”. Even Merkel has said yes to the law proposed by Spahn: “it Is necessary that progress in the medical-scientific field reach even the weakest Countries economically because they, too, are achieved by a vaccination more effective.” Everything there is to know about the measles Might be interested in Salvini on the killing of general Soleimani: “Each muslim terrorist is less of a problem” Killing Soleimani, United Kingdom: “it Was a threat, we agree with the U.s.” France, a man with a knife in his hand shouting Allah Akbar arrested by the police If you want to go on Erasmus or to do public competitions you have to have the vaccine for the measles Emergency measles in a county of New York: children not vaccinated out from public spaces",58,"italy"

"24712","The province of Lugo has a special relationship with the measles. The worst outbreak of this disease occurred in A Fonsagrada, 45 years ago, after the concentration school. Children of a relatively isolated population came into contact with other more remote areas, sick with speed and transmitted to companions and family members. In a matter of hours, the municipality has experienced the death of four children and a fifth, a native of Cervantes and resident in O Valadouro, he did a day later. Despite the fact that hundreds of school children were infected and fell ill —some even coming to a state of severity that forced their income— the college never came to close. With the passage of time, the classrooms were emptied and the photos in the newspaper show rows of empty seats with only one or two children in any of them. In an interview published by this newspaper, the then provincial chief of Health, Cándido Sánchez Castineiras recognized that there had been ""one of the alarms, health more sound and tragic experiences in the province"" and that the death of the school had ""shocked the whole of Spain, and caused a large alert"". A generation of children fonsagradinos still have this pain and the misunderstanding of having to go to the funeral of their companions. Sanchez Castineiras said that the terrible outbreak in A Mountain of lugo led to the introduction of the vaccine in Spain and helped Lugo outside of the provinces as a pilot in which it began to manage. What is certain is that the vaccination routine infant with the mmr —which protects against the viruses of rubella and mumps, in addition to measles— began in Spain in 1983. In Lugo, the main outbreaks from then on (of course none with the severity of A Fonsagrada), were in 1996 and, more recently, in 2011. In that case, the source was imported: a man who travelled to Sicily with his wife during an outbreak on the island. In addition to spreading to your woman, the virus ended up infecting other five adults who had gone to the Emergency room while he was in the service. The seventh person infected it is believed that he did so because he came into contact with one of those affected that she was the neighbor. From that year had not been previously detected cases of measles in Galicia until April 2018 and, more recently, in June of this same year. The first case, of which it is believed that its origin was imported, were found in O Barco de Valdeorras. Were subsequently detected two other cases, one of them in Monforte de Lemos.

"42412","The Public Health Commission of the Ministry of Health, Consumption and Social Welfare is ""discussing"" with the autonomous communities to implement ""new measures"" in the Plan of Prevention against the Measles, according to clarified sources ministerial to Europa Press. The Ministry has reminded all who were born after year 1970, who have not been vaccinated or have not had measles, should visit their health center to be vaccinated. Do not need the vaccine those who have already contracted the disease at some point in time, for they are already immunized. This is provided for in the Common Schedule of Vaccination throughout life, adopted last November at the Interterritorial Council of the National Health System (NHS). These same sources point out that the Ministry is ""in accordance"" with the recommendation of the Spanish Society of Epidemiology (SEE) to vaccinate all persons who are between 40 and 50 years, as the advanced its president, Pere Godoy, in an interview with The Country this Friday. As noted by Godoy, it is ""more economical"" to vaccinate ""all"" the population in this age group, and the risk of vaccinating people already immunized ""is null"". ""Not only are we consistent, if not reinforcing one of the measures already included in the Common Schedule of Vaccination throughout the life"", have commented from the Ministry. In a report published on 12 August, the World Health Organization (WHO) found that the increase of measles cases in Europe which began in 2018 has continued in 2019, with approximately 90,000 cases reported during the first half of the year. This figure is already higher than that recorded for the whole of 2018 (84.462). Spain has recorded 233 cases of measles confirmed between 1 January and 21 July of 2019, which means seven more (226) than in the entire previous year, but all of them are imported or secondary, according to data from the Ministry of Health.

Measles cases increased in 2017 and 110,000 people died of the disease, according to a report from the World Health Organization (WHO) in the who attributed this increase to the inequities in the coverage of vaccination between the different countries. ""The resurgence of the measles is of great concern, as there have been outbreaks in all the regions and, in particular, in the countries that achieved or were close to achieving measles elimination,"" commented the deputy director general of Programmes of the WHO, Soumya Swaminathan. For this reason, he warned that if countries do not make urgent efforts to increase the vaccination coverage and to identify at-risk populations who are not immunized, the risk of ""losing decades of progress in protecting children and communities against this ""devastating, but totally preventable, disease."" Measles is a serious disease and highly contagious, and can cause complications such as debilitating or fatal, such as encephalitis, diarrhea and dehydration, severe pneumonia, ear infections, and permanent vision loss. Infants and young children with malnutrition and weak immune systems are particularly vulnerable to complications and death. The disease can be prevented with two doses of a vaccine, although for several years the global coverage with the first dose of the vaccine against measles has stalled at 85%. This is very far from the 95% required to prevent outbreaks, and leave many people, in many communities, susceptible to the disease. ""The spread of falsehoods about the vaccine in Europe, the collapse of the health system in Venezuela and the low coverage of immunization in Africa combine to cause a global resurgence of measles after years of progress. Existing strategies need to change, and it is necessary to make a greater effort to increase coverage of routine immunization and strengthening health systems. Otherwise we will continue to pursue an outbreak after another"", declared the CEO of the Alliance of Vaccines, the Gavi alliance, Seth Berkley. In response to the recent outbreaks, health agencies are calling for a sustained investment in immunization systems, along with efforts to strengthen the services of routine immunization. These efforts should focus especially on reaching the poorest and most marginalized communities, including those affected by conflict and displacement. ""You need investments held to strengthen the delivery of immunization services and to take advantage of every opportunity to deliver vaccines to those who need it,"" concluded the chief of the Division of Disease Control-Accelerated and Surveillance of Diseases Preventable by Vaccines on the Centers for disease Control and Prevention (CDC) of the united States and chairman of the management team of the Initiative against measles and rubella, Robert Linkins.",58,"spain"
"63213","""During the first few days, it is as if you had a bad flu that will not go away. Fever, discomfort... and then it appears the rash,"" says one of the seven people who suffered over the past year, the measles virus in Aragon, a disease that has become to copy covers in the last few days due to the nearly 500 cases have been registered among the orthodox jews of New York and to the worrying situation in France, Italy and mainly Romania. In this case aragonese, the patient, of 44 years, contracted during a trip to Thailand and it was the third day back when he had to call the Emergency department and be transferred by ambulance to the hospital Miguel Servet in Zaragoza. There, he remained for three days entered the area of infectious and in solitary confinement. It was not the only one. The six other people that have had the disease long-2018 in Aragon were the result of an outbreak in population that was recorded in Huesca from the month of July. A young man of 25 years and a woman of 59 were the first cases of measles in the Community after three and a half years without any contagion, for the last sick by this cause had been detected in January of 2015. More vaccinated, but also most cases, This rebound over the past year in the Community coincides with that in 2018 Europe reached a record high in measles cases. The total number of people infected in Europe with the virus was the highest of the decade, with close to 82.600 people infected, three times the figure for 2017, and fifteen of 2016. And all this despite overcoming all the statistics in regards to immunizations, as according to the data published by the World Health Organization (WHO), 90% of european children meet the schedule of vaccination with the mmr. RELATED NEWS WHO urges you to ensure vaccination against measles after more than 34,000 infected in Europe in two months ""Although we vaccinated more people than ever before, the progress has been uneven between countries and within them, leaving each time more groups of people susceptible, unprotected"", it tries to explain the WHO in a press release issued this year. In Romania, for example, that vaccination rates are lower, and one of the outbreaks more important than has been recorded in Aragon in the last decade (28 cases in 2011 and 7 in 2012) stemmed from cases imported from that country and spread among the population of Romanian origin unvaccinated. This episode, coupled with the persistent outbreak that lives in Romania from 2016, and the significant volume of people of Romanian origin residing in the Community, has led to the Directorate-General of Public Health of Aragon to issue several circulars recommending the vaccine of the mmr to this niche of the population, especially given the possibility of numerous trips to Romania and the high transmissibility of the measles, ( ... ), and with the aim of reducing the risk of reintroduction of measles in Aragon"". Another vulnerable group in Aragon is born between 1970 and 1983. It is, in fact, the age group most at risk in the Community because they were born when it had ceased to circulate massively on the wild type virus, and therefore were not exposed and not immunized in a natural way. However, at that time the vaccine was not yet sufficiently widespread. It is precisely the case of the aragonese who returned from Thailand infected last year, born in 1974. Coverage in Aragon, By contrast, today in Aragon the vaccine the mmr (measles, rubella and mumps) have coverage rates very high and higher than the european average and even the national. The first dose reaches to 98.8% of children (11.202 of 11.333 possible in 2017) and the second at 95,3% (11.493 children between 12.061 to them, and they corresponded to the same year). Anyway, the autonomous communities with coverage rates similar as Galicia, Extremadura and Castilla y Leon have decided to require that children be vaccinated for measles in order to enter their children's schools public. In Spain, the immunization of children is voluntary, so communities may not impose per se the vaccination and that is why they seek formulae such as the admission in the various educational stages is not mandatory. Bad reputation unjustified At the european level, twelve countries have a schedule of compulsory vaccination, while others, like the Netherlands, which also does not impose immunization, are looking to change your mind after seeing how they went down immunization rates in the past few years. RELATED NEWS Germany is studying to fine parents who do not vaccinate their children against the measles, The mmr, in fact, is one of the vaccines that has fallen in recent years due to the spread in 1998 of a fake study that has already been disproved on numerous occasions and that linked the vaccine with a higher risk of developing autism. In Aragon, however, the coverage of this vaccine has been growing since 2012 and since Public Health is insists time and time again that vaccination is the best way to protect yourself and as a critical tool to prevent outbreaks. The measles virus measles is a notifiable disease and urgently requires the immediate action of Public Health. Presents with fever, rash and cough, runny nose or conjunctivitis. Usually evolves favorably although some cases can get complicated. To prevent the transmission of this disease, the Government of Aragon called to get vaccinated not only to the children according to the recommended schedule, but also to all those adults born after January 1, 1971 not to receive the two vaccinations of mmr and who have not had already the disease. This year still has not been registered any case in Aragon, although since the year 2000 have been confirmed and 52 sick of measles in the Community.",58,"spain"

The reason for the antibodies to disappear, say the researchers in the second study, is that the mässlingviruset that can infect and destroy the entire header of the antikroppsproducerande of B-cells and T-memory cells. There are two types of white blood cells which are vital for the immune system's ability to recognize and respond to an infection.

A similar effect on the immune system in the context of vaccination against the disease was not observed. The Harvard Gazette has written a detailed article on the subject.",58,"sweden"
"39113","""Measles eliminated in the UK for the first time,"" reports The Telegraph.  This and other stories in the media are based on a new World Health Organization (WHO) report confirming the UK is now one of 33 countries in Europe to have ""eliminated"" measles.  ""Elimination"" is the official term used once a country has reduced the number of cases of a disease to a low enough level to stop it spreading through the general population for at least three years.  It doesn't mean that measles has been wiped out or eradicated in the UK. In 2016 there were more than 500 cases in England and Wales. However, the disease wasn't able to spread more widely.  It also doesn't mean that children no longer need the MMR vaccination, which protects against mumps and rubella as well as measles. In fact it's vital that young children continue having the MMR vaccination to stop the number of measles cases rising again.  Read more about the MMR vaccination.  What is measles and what is the vaccination?  Measles is an infectious disease that can lead to serious complications, such as pneumonia. In rare cases it can be fatal. Anybody who has not been vaccinated and has not had measles before is at risk of catching it.  Having measles can cause cold-like symptoms such as a runny nose, sore red eyes, fever and small grey-white spots inside the cheeks. A few days after this, a red-brown rash will appear, usually starting on the head or upper neck and spreading down to the rest of the body.  Children need two doses of the MMR jab to be fully protected against measles, mumps and rubella. The first dose is usually given within a month of their first birthday. They will then be invited to have a second dose before starting school, usually at three years and four months.  How does the measles vaccination work?  The MMR vaccination works by delivering a weakened version of the measles, mumps and rubella viruses. This triggers the immune system to produce antibodies. If the person later comes into contact with one of the viruses, the immune system recognises it and produces antibodies to fight it.  The effectiveness of the MMR vaccine means that cases of measles have dropped in the UK, but there have still been several outbreaks in recent years.  The UK was on the verge of achieving ""elimination"" in the 1990s. However, a report published in 1998 claiming a link between the MMR vaccine and autism (which was unfounded) led to a drop in parents getting their children immunised, followed by large outbreaks of measles.  What does the WHO report show us?  The WHO report says the UK has ""eliminated"" measles. This means that, for the past three years, the number of cases has been low enough to stop the disease circulating around the country.  If the UK wants to keep the number of cases down – and its ""elimination"" status – it needs to meet its targets for MMR vaccination coverage.  Are we meeting our vaccination targets?  Recent NHS data shows that 95% of children are now having their first dose of the MMR vaccination by their fifth birthday, meeting this WHO target for the first time. This means it is far more difficult for diseases to spread because so many people are immune. However, in England:  In 2016/17, only 87.6% of children had received both doses of the MMR by their fifth birthday. This is lower than the previous two years: 2014/15 (88.6%), 2015/16 (88.2%).  Only 91.6% had received the first dose of MMR by their second birthday, also a decrease on the previous two years: 2014/15 (92.3%), 2015/16 (91.9%).  This drop in MMR uptake over the past few years means there is a risk that cases of measles will start to rise again, particularly in London where uptake of the vaccination is lower.  Talking about the UK's new ""elimination"" status for measles, Dr Mary Ramsay, head of immunisation at Public Health England, told BBC News: ""This is a huge achievement and a testament to all the hard work by our health professionals in the NHS to ensure that all children and adults are fully protected with two doses of the MMR vaccine.  ""We need to ensure that this is sustained going forward by maintaining and improving coverage of the MMR vaccine in children and by catching up older children and young adults who missed out.""

"1597","Danish health and medicines authority is responsible for the childhood immunisation programme in Denmark and recommend parents to let their children be vaccinated. Also, it is recommended for young adults not yet vaccinated, to be vaccinated. The 1.4 2018 was introduced the offer of free vaccination against measles for adults who are not already vaccinated or have had measles. The vaccine against the measles, the MMR vaccine protects against measles, mumps and rubella. To medical practitioners about the MMR vaccination of young children In the childhood immunisation programme given the MMR vaccine twice-when the child is 15 months and 4 years. You can immediately give the MMR vaccine from 12 months, also at the same time with other vaccines given at this time. It is important to stress that there is no recommendation to bring forward the normal vaccinationstidspunkter as a result of the current maslingeudbrud. If there occurs the case in the immediate area, for example in nurseries, and there is concern among the parents, however, one will be vaccinated the first time from 12-manedersalderen, possibly. at the same time with 3. DiTeKiPol/Hib and Prevenar. Only if there has been actual exposure to infection can the MMR vaccine is given before 12-manedersalder, and only from 6 months. Especially about the trip At great risk for infection can the vaccine be given from 9 months – in exceptional cases, from 6 months after the medical assessment. If the vaccine is given before 12 months should the child still be vaccinated two times at the usual times. Vaccination given before 12 months due to travel shall be paid by the parents themselves. For information for use in risk assessment in relation to the destinations, see below For the practising doctors on MMR vaccination of adults, Vaccination against measles was introduced in the childhood immunisation programme in 1987, and vaccinationstilslutningen have been generally high, there will still be up to approx. 10 % of a class that may not have received the vaccine. Since you introduced the MMR vaccine in 1987, the children born in the period 1975 to 1986 are also offered the MMR vaccination. The connection to this ”catch-up” program, however, was lower, bl.a. because quite a few had already had measles, especially among the oldest in this age group. Unvaccinated persons born after 1986 as well as persons born in the period 1975 to 1986 must therefore be particularly vigilant and are encouraged to get a single MMR vaccination. There is not measured antibodies before a possibly. vaccination. For persons born before 1975, if they have grown up in Denmark, they have with very high probability (95-98 %) had measles. Persons from these cohorts should, therefore, only be vaccinated if there are special circumstances that speaks for vaccination, e.g. upcoming trip to a country with a high risk of infection and at the same time the uncertainty whether the person has had measles and therefore do not need to be vaccinated. There is not measured antibodies before a possibly. vaccination. Persons who are 18 years of age, must just have one MMR vaccination. Adults, who as a child has received one MMR vaccination, should not be vaccinated further. You can get a free vaccination at the gp or on a private vaccinationsklinik.

"3959","Vaccination – Yes or no? For months, Germany is arguing about this question. Reason for this increasing cases of measles are diseases. Some parents let their children against the highly contagious disease should be vaccinated. What are their arguments? Bild am Sonntag explains what you need to know about vaccination: What is the side effect of the measles vaccination? ""Often temporary pain and inflammation can occur at the injection site,"" says Martin Terhardt (66), children and youth doctor from Berlin, and a member of the Standing Committee on vaccination (STIKO). ""In about five to ten percent, it comes about a week after vaccination fever. Even more rarely, temporary joint discomfort due to the rubella component of the Multi-vaccination. One of a Million cases allergic reactions occur.“ Anyone can be vaccinated against measles? Terhardt: ""No. There are people who cannot be vaccinated due to a disease of the immune system or therapy. It is important for you that you will not be able to be infected by as many people as possible are vaccinated around you. This is called herd protection.“ Also Interesting, Many parents are against vaccination. Anyone who refuses to Vaccinate? Martin Terhardt: ""You can distinguish between opponents and Impfskeptiker. Opponents make up about one to two percent of the population. They refuse to Vaccinate-often for ideological reasons, and arguments are difficult to access, often reinforced by Doctors who Vaccinate strictly reject it.“ Many Impfverweigerer in the South of Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg. What are the arguments of the opponents are? It is often said that vaccinations would cause autism and allergies. However, the study on autism Thesis goes back is, for a long time and from the British specialist magazine withdrawn. <U+25B6><U+FE0E> The Allergy suspicion is invalidated, for example, by the fact that there was in the GDR, a statutory mandatory vaccination, but fewer Allergy cases than in the West, and this only after the turn increases. You can also read a Large survey shows So little we know about the Seeding When it comes to the topic of Vaccination, circulating false ideas for so many citizens of the EU, revealed a recent survey. Another Argument of the opponents: The decline of infectious diseases have nothing to do with vaccinations, but is a result of better Hygiene and nutrition. This is true in part because of healthier conditions of life such as clean drinking water have improved the Situation considerably. But The drastic decline in diseases such as polio, smallpox or measles, and only began after the introduction of vaccination. Vaccine critics also say that it protects better, to get a disease to go through, as a Impfspritze. Is that true? Martin Terhardt: ""No. A vaccination is associated with much lower risks than the disease. Most of us lack experience, how to dramatically seemingly innocuous childhood diseases can be, we are got rid of by vaccination almost. That it is a child toughens, the measles go through, is a myth. Unlike opponents Impfskeptiker by the way, usually through the use of rational arguments in support of reach. For the education the doctor has to apply, then a longer consultation. A Problem, however, is yet a third group: Many adults, especially in the 80s - and 90s-born, the only have an incomplete vaccination status and is not aware of it are. If incompletely vaccinated women become pregnant and their babies can give no nest protection in the blood for the first months of life, it is a high risk to the children.“ Many still think that the measles are harmless. Is that true? Terhardt: ""No. In the case of a measles infection can lead to serious complications, such as pneumonia, which can extend for people with a weakened immune system is not life-threatening. It becomes critical particularly if the virus spread to the brain or meninges.“ In the case of a current outbreak of measles in Switzerland, with a total of 155 Infected since the beginning of the year, two adults died.

The SNO (Society of Neuroscience, Hospital), of whose steering committee I am a part, together with the colleague Silvia Cenciarelli, drafted a press release that is coming out in the newspapers and on the covers of national. Measles is an infectious disease, highly contagious, caused by a virus of the genus Morbillivirus (family paramyxoviridae). The national Institute of Health has registered in Italy, from January to July, 2017, 3501 cases of measles (89per cent of children not vaccinated), 2 of which are fatal"". The risks ""complications are rare – we read in the press – but responsible for about 30-100 deaths per 100,000 people. Among the most fearsome must remember the encephalitides, in particular the panencefalite sclerosing subacute (Pess). This is a rare form of encephalitis a slow evolution and a fatal outcome that develops in children and adolescents several years after infection with measles. Encephalitis is caused by the persistence of the virus, “mutated” within the brain tissue that undergoes, after a short inflammatory phase, a progressive and inexorable neuronal loss, demyelination, and gliosis. According to a recent epidemiological survey (analysis of the logs from 1998 to 2015 ) a group of researchers at Ucla University Los Angeles the impact of the Pess in the United States was 1 on 1380 children affected by measles. In Germany it is estimated approximately 1 case of Pess on 1700/3000 children,but the incidence rates are much higher in India and the Middle East."" Need the vaccine, Unfortunately, at the moment ""there are no therapies the solution to this terrible disease that is fatal in almost all cases in the space of a few years. The only medical intervention effective, able to significantly reduce the incidence of the Pess is represented by the immunization vaccine so that low vaccination coverage between 1989 and 1991 in the Usa led to a cluster of Pess 10 times greater compared to the epidemiological data of 1982.

In addition to the vaccines that are available for the children who will be this year's one-year-old and five-years old, there is a strategic reserve of 200 thousand doses of a vaccine that can be used in case of emergency, he said. The CFP asked for yesterday, which he and George will be heard by the Health Committee of the Portuguese Assembly of the Republic on cases of the measles, recorded recently in the Uk. What is the Measles? Measles is a viral infections the most contagious diseases, and, in spite of usually being benign, can be very serious and even cause death, warns the Directorate-general for Health (DGS). The disease is manifested by the appearance of small white spots on the oral mucous membrane, about an hour or two before you experience a skin rash, that initially appear on the face. According to the norm of the clinic, to be issued by DGS in the last week, and the complications of measles can include otitis media, pneumonia, convulsions, febrile and swelling of the brain. Adults tend to have more severe disease than young children, and patients are immune-compromised may not have spots on their skin. With an incubation period that can range from seven to 21 days, the transmission provides four days before and four days after the emergence of the rash (a skin rash). By 2016, Portugal) received a request from the World Health Organization (WHO), an order that the rule regulated in the Country, as being free of measles, because one of the very few cases reported in the last few years had been borrowed from other countries. Vaccination ensures that the control of the disease, the vaccination is free of charge to the children, in 1974, and, above all, with the introduction of a second dose of the vaccine, in 1990, the measles, it turned out to be almost a disease that has been forgotten or invisible. However, between 1987 and 1989, had been reported in Portugal and 12 million cases, accounting for 30 deaths. Consider this if you are already protected against measles, people who have had the disease, or who have two doses of the vaccine, in the case of children aged less than 18 years of age, and one dose when it comes to adults. Vaccination is the primary measure for the prevention of measles, which by being free of charge and is included in the National Program of Vaccination (PNV). All children should be vaccinated at 12 months of age and repeat vaccination at the age of five. ""You are cautioned that, as to the need for parents to vaccinate their children without a second thought, once the vaccine is available in the Country,"" he said of the DGS in a statement today, issued a warning that it has often been said that on an ongoing basis.",57,"portugal"

It is a common-sense measure, the measles is anything but benign, especially for infants : it can cause respiratory complications and neurological consequences very serious. Virtually all measles cases occurred among people not vaccinated or who received only a single dose. ""Two doses are required because of the severity of the disease, said the minister. In an epidemic of measles, there will be one death per 3,000 cases, an encephalitis with sequelae for 1 500 cases, and pneumonia much more frequently."" Measles is now part of the eleven vaccines required for children born on or after 1st January. The example of measles is emblematic of the French landscape, with the past few years of hot flushes outbreaks that arise. The causes are varied : areas reluctant to have the vaccination, a device ill-suited... For months, an epidemic of measles still exists in New-Aquitaine : to this day, the regional Agency of health (ARS) has identified 269 cases, of which a quarter have required hospitalization, and four icu admission. However, according to the ARS, the coverage in New-Aquitaine is inadequate for dealing with the epidemic : according to data from the public Health agency of France, it varies from 70.8 % to 81 % according to the department, when the WHO recommends a 95% coverage to break the epidemic.

April 2017 - 14:54 PM Smaller peaks, great effect against measles, This number is really alarming, because it's not about some harmless children's disease: 331 people have been infected this year in Germany is already part of the measles - that are already now in April, six more than in the entire previous year! Reason for this is lack of Vaccination in young children, adolescents, and young adults. The Germans are about vaccination lazy? There is only a minimal effort, but still a few people against measles in Germany to vaccinate. The disease can be particularly for babies is really dangerous. Adults - and especially parents - should talk with their doctor about the measles, because even adults could use a second vaccination. The Berlin-based Robert Koch Institute (RKI) published a now terrifying Numbers for measles infection, and an extraordinary number of cases of disease. Measles are highly contagious, they also weaken the immune system, and can even end up with a brain disease, or even fatal. ""I can't understand it, and do not represent that you vaccinate the child against measles. Because I'm grateful for any vaccination that can protect a child,"" explains pediatrician Dr. Barbara Teichmann. Vaccinations are one of the most effective means to dangerous infectious diseases. Doctors recommend now, to the first measles vaccination appointment for the child is preferable to small children are particularly vulnerable, because the risk of Infection within the family, in Kindergarten or in school is great. Normally, children from the age of 11. Month, the measles vaccination. Doctors recommend, in the meantime, however, the first vaccination appointment for the child is preferable to 9 months to ensure as early as possible for protection.

While in some Parts of the world, measles are practically eradicated, has increased the number of cases in Europe. What is the reason? London - More than 21 000 cases of measles it has 2017 in Europe. That's four Times as much as the year before. And 35 people have died of the disease. So the world health organization (WHO) has beaten recently Alarm. She speaks of a tragedy that is not acceptable. With more than 5000 cases of Romania and Italy, where a campaign for vaccinations even became a leading theme in the parliamentary election on Sunday, the top riders. Although measles continues to be a major Problem in Parts of Africa and Asia. Outbreaks there can be children when malnourished and tuberculosis or AIDS is particularly devastating. Most of the 89 000 annual deaths due to measles occur in developing countries. However, one would assume, actually, that they are extinct in Europe. Why not? An Overview. Why spread measles so quickly? Measles are one of the most contagious diseases in the world. The Virus is transmitted via small droplets in the air, when coughing, Sneezing or even Talking. The disease can be prevented by a vaccine used since the 1960s. Experts say that vaccination rates of at least 95 percent are necessary in order to prevent epidemics. In some Italian regions, the Rate is 85 percent - one of the lowest in Europe. Epidemics have also occurred in the Ukraine, Greece and Romania, where the health authority have overall noticed a decrease in the number of vaccinations, supply problems, and lack of systems for disease surveillance. Why Europe? Here is the skepticism towards vaccinations after the problems of the past, in many Parts of the Region continue to be very large. In France, a national advertising campaign for immunization against Hepatitis B in 1990 because of concerns about possible bad has been exposed to side-effects and the after affects still. And during the swine fever pandemic in 2009, there were a number of European votes, which led a campaign for vaccination against the disease on the undue influence of drug manufacturers on the WHO back. A by researchers at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine in the year 2016-led study found that Europe is the Region with the strongest Doubts about the vaccine safety. Why is the vaccine so controversial? In 1998, British scientist Andrew Wakefield published in the journal ""the Lancet"", a paper in which a connection between the Vaccine against measles, Mumps and rubella (MMR) and autism has been established. No other study has confirmed something, and the paper was later withdrawn. Ten of the Co-authors renounced the conclusions, and Wakefield has been withdrawn due to ""serious professional misconduct"" the license to Practice medicine in the UK. After the paper was published, the decline in vaccination rates in the UK, the USA and elsewhere. In Europe, it came to years, with measles epidemics. How effective is the vaccine? A full MMR-dose - a standard part of the immunization of children in many countries, is considered to be 97% successful in preventing measles. The disease begins with flu-like symptoms followed by characteristic rash on the face and neck. While the majority of Patients are healthy, include measles according to the WHO, one of the leading causes of death in young children. These are adults over the age of 30 years, serious complications such as brain swelling and blindness occur more frequently than in other age groups. Thanks to vaccination programmes measles in North and South America, are extinct, and many other countries have proclaimed the goal to achieve by 2020. How, then, can be achieved higher vaccination rates? A strategy is vaccination against certain diseases by law to prescribe and children are not for school allow, until they are undetectable been vaccinated. Italy has recently presented a new law, the parents are obligated to vaccinate their children against measles, and nine other childhood diseases. Romania has adopted a similar law, according to the parents, who allow children to immunize, with hefty fines to expect.",56,"germany"

However, a study once again proves to the contrary. A very large study of over 650.000 Danish children followed up for more than a decade came to the same conclusion as several previous studies : the vaccine against measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine does not increase the risk of autism. The study has taken into account the data of all Danish children born from 1999 to 2010, followed up in 2013.

"2640","Friday, July 6, 2018, a young girl of 17 years died at Bordeaux because of the measles. He is the third person who died as the result of complications related to this disease this year. This last unfortunately experiences a new rise in recent times, with nearly 2,500 cases were reported in France since the month of November 2017. A troubling measles is a disease for usual children, but it affects more and more adults in recent times, in the context of an epidemic that worries the doctors. In fact, 2567 cases were identified in 84 different departments, and none of them have the vaccination rate minimum to come to the end of this disease. Many people think that measles is a disease without gravity, but it is a belief completely false. In fact, this virus is very virulent and can cause complications very serious, such as inflammation of the brain (acute encephalitis), and infections of the lungs (pneumonitis) and may even sometimes make the sick blind. Thus, 10 people have died during the last epidemic, which occurred between 2008 and 2012, of which 3 could have been vaccinated but have not done so. The other 7 had any contra-indications, but their deaths could have been avoided if the vaccination coverage in general had been optimal. The measles virus is primarily transmitted by the airborne route, through éternuemenst for example. It can stay in the air almost 2 hours after being expelled. The contamination is maximal one day with the appearance of the first symptoms, and continued for 5 days after. In addition, it is believed that a single sick person can infect 15 to 20 others with the virus. A decline in vaccination coverage In France, the average coverage rate for the measles, mumps, and rubella is just above 80%, it's still far from the 95% required to come to the end of the disease. But if the efficacy of the vaccine has been proven, how can we explain that a part of more and more of the population became very suspicious about it ? This can be explained by the persistence of the idea (false) that this vaccine would be linked to the development of autism in young children. In fact, a scientific study published in the Lancet in 1998, had established a link between the two phenomena, before to be contradicted officially by a number of counter-expertise. The review is then itself withdrawn in relation to this publication controversial, pointing out the methodological errors important. But this has not prevented this false belief to continue to spread. Thus, by 2016, 41% of the French claimed that they did not trust the vaccines, a distrust widespread, which puts France among the worst countries in the world on this topic. In October 2017, another study showed that 3/4 of the French were favourable to vaccination, which is still insufficient, since their number was 90% in 2000. A reaction of the government, measles has become a topic of major concern to the French authorities. As well, the minister of health, Agnes Buzyn had expressed his willingness to come to the end of the campaigns anti-vaccine during a press conference held on January 5, 2018. And drastic measures have been taken in this direction. Thus, since the 1st of January, unvaccinated children are no longer allowed to go to the nursery or to school. All children should therefore be vaccinated with a first dose at 12 months, measles, mumps, and rubella. Then, a second dose should be given between 16 and 18 months. Finally, for the other people born after 1980, a catch-up vaccination can be carried out. It should also be noted that the vaccine can be administered within 72 hours after contact with a patient, with a high efficiency. France is not an isolated case on this issue in Europe. Indeed, countries such as Romania (3000 cases reported recently, and 18 deaths) or Greece (2000 cases) and Italy (1000 case) is also suffering from a resurgence of this disease.",55,"france"

"5184","Two Measles Cases in Dublin  The HSE has been notified of two cases of measles in an adult and a child in Dublin who had recently been in mainland Europe and is asking people to be vigilant about measles.  Dr Helena Murray, Specialist in Public Health Medicine said, “Measles can be a serious illness and is highly infectious. The best protection is to be fully vaccinated with two doses of MMR (Measles, Mumps, and Rubella) vaccine”.  There is a possible risk of measles to people who may have been in the same healthcare setting as these two cases during the infectious period. People at increased risk are those who are not fully vaccinated with two doses of MMR vaccine or have not had measles in the past. The risk of measles is for up to 21 days after contact with a case of measles.  If you think you may have measles, stay at home and phone your General Practitioner (GP) for advice.  Currently the HSE is aware that the two measles cases attended the following healthcare settings while they were most infectious. Please do not contact the hospitals if you think you may have come in contact with a case of measles, seek advice from your GP if you become unwell.

The Public Health Department gives the following advice on the most effective measures to control the further spread of this potentially serious illness:  Vaccination with measles containing vaccine (MMR):  1. All children should get the MMR vaccine when they are aged 12 months. If any child aged over 12 months has missed this vaccine they should get it now from their GP.  2. All children should get a second dose of MMR vaccine when they are 4-5 years old or in Junior Infants at school. If any child in Senior Infants or older has missed this vaccine they should get it now from their GP.  3. Adults under 40 years who have not had measles or have not received 2 doses of MMR vaccine should contact their GP to get the MMR vaccine.  4. Adults over 40 years of age may sometimes be at risk and if such adults never had measles nor a measles containing vaccine they should consider getting the MMR vaccine from their GP.  Measles symptoms include:  · High fever  · Cough  · Runny nose  · Red eyes  · Red rash that starts on head and spread down the body - this normally starts a few days after onset of illness. The rash consists of flat red or brown blotches, which can flow into each other. It lasts about 4-7 days  · Vomiting, diarrhoea and tummy pain may also happen.  Measures to prevent the spread of measles if you think you may have measles:  1. Do not go to work, school or creche.  2. Stay at home and phone your GP. Tell the doctor or nurse that you think you might have measles.  3. Stop visitors coming to the house to prevent the spread of measles.  4. Pregnant women who have been exposed to measles should seek medical advice as soon as possible.  Risk of measles from international travel:  There are on-going outbreaks of measles in multiple countries in the European region and worldwide. Most of the cases in the EU in 2018 were reported from Romania, France, Greece, and Italy. Most people who get measles on holiday do not know they were exposed until they develop disease. Unrecognised exposures to measles have occurred at airports, on planes, at concerts, in shops and health care settings. In 2018, 31 deaths associated with measles have been reported in EU countries.  Advice for people travelling abroad:  Vaccination remains the most effective measure against infection. Children aged 6-11 months of age, travelling to other countries and regions where measles outbreaks are reported, are recommended MMR vaccine. A dose given before 12 months of age does not replace the dose that would normally be given at 12 months of age.  Older children should be age appropriately vaccinated. Children who have missed their recommended doses should get the MMR vaccine from their GP.  Adults may be at risk of measles, particularly those under 40 years of age who have never had measles or two doses of a measles vaccine.  More about measles:  Measles is highly contagious and is spread easily. The time between exposure to measles and developing the rash is usually 14 days (range 7-21 days). People are infectious from four days before rash starts until four days after.  Complications of measles:  Measles can cause chest infections, fits (seizures), ear infections, swelling of the brain and/or damage to the brain.  Measles is a notifiable disease and GPs and hospital clinicians should immediately notify Public Health if they suspect someone has measles.  Last updated on: 20 / 07 / 2018",55,"ireland"

A figure that is soaring also because of the growth of the movements anti-vaccinisti. For experts in the field, this is always a strong atmosphere of “doubt” is putting at serious risk the lives of the people. A growing movement of anti-vaccine in Europe, powered by social media and by populist anti-establishment, is putting lives at risk and could be the cause of epidemics of measles that we had not seen for 20 years.

"6324","Measles reaps a new victim. From September 2017 is the third case. At this point, and to lose life is a woman of 25 years resident in Catania. A story that shows, once again, to the fore the issue of vaccination coverage. Even though now -thanks to the Decree-Law which imposes the obligation for access to the school - the number of vaccinated is increasing more and more, today we pay more in high price years of covers largely under the threshold. That's why even if you already adults -unless you both made the disease - everyone should undergo the vaccination. MEASLES: THE SITUATION IN ITALY AND IN EUROPE According to the latest data at the end of February of this year in Italy occurred in 164 cases of measles, including 2 deaths (the woman of Catania excluded). More than 80% of the cases was reported from 4 Regions (Sicily, Latium, Calabria and Liguria) and the Region of Sicily is the one which has reported the highest incidence. The median age of those affected is 25 years. By analyzing the data over the long period shows that, in 2017 in the European Union alone, the cases registered were 14.451 cases of measles (4643 in 2016), including 30 deaths. Romania was the Country that sent the largest number of reports (5560), followed by Italy (5004), from Greece (967) Germany (929). A situation very far from the objective of eradication planned for 2020. BECAUSE THE MEASLES ALSO AFFECTS WHO YOU ARE' VACCINATED? HOW DOES THE VACCINE FOR THE MEASLES? To avoid contracting the disease and lead to the eradication of measles, the only possible way is vaccination. The concept is simple: the more people are vaccinated, the less chance the virus circles. It is not a coincidence that the approximately 93% of the cases registered from January to today is about people not vaccinated or vaccinated with a single dose. The vaccine against measles consists of two doses, and also covers against mumps and rubella (vaccine MMR). To all the children in the first is offered at the 13th month of life and the second at 5-6 years. In the other age groups and in adults, the second dose is to be proposed after at least 4 weeks from the first. A second dose is critical because, over the years, it has been understood that the protection conferred by a single dose of the vaccine, despite being long-term in most subjects, does not seem to be permanent. Indeed, it is possible that the immunity developed after vaccination at 12-15 months of life decreases progressively, and for this you make a call. WHO SHOULD BE VACCINATED? Introduced only in the '80s, but emerged from the '90's, the vaccine should be carried out in all those cases in which you are not sure of having contracted the measles. In fact, not all the memory is trusted as the rash of measles can be confused with other infectious diseases of childhood. As noted by the Ministry, if you are not sure of being immune to measles, you need to check your certificate of vaccination. If there is no written documentation or you remember only one administration should be vaccinated. It is not necessary to do the antibody test against measles before vaccination (the test may be useful, however, in particular situations, in the judgement of the Physician). The fact to be vaccinated against something that is potentially already a contract is not a problem. THERE ARE TESTS TO KNOW IF YOU CONTRACTED THE DISEASE?",55,"italy"

Only in the last week, there were 17 cases of measles, and 1.473 since the beginning of the year, ÁNGEL GÓMEZ FUENTES Correspondent in Rome Updated: 21/04/2017 12:03h Save Send news by email Your name * Your email * Your email address * On the subject of vaccines, Italy seems to return to ancient times, giving the case surprising that the Movement 5 Stars Cricket, a political force that aspires to govern the country, is shown to be contrary to the immunization of the masses. With great surprise the italians have seen that the united States has placed this country in the black list of the measles, locating it for the first time among the nations at risk. The Centers for disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Atlanta –the most important agency of control over the health american public - have alerted americans traveling to Italy to take several precautions: get vaccinated against measles, wash their hands before taking them to the face and avoid contacts ""close"" with the italians, potential carriers of the virus. Measles is an infectious disease more contagious. In one case out of twenty can lead to pneumonia, and one thousand to the encephalitis. Mostly affects children within 10 years, but can reach also the adults. From the beginning of the year until the 9th of April have been recorded in Italy 1.473 measles cases (17 in the last week), according to the Higher Institute of Health. The virus walks in Italy at an amazing speed: the cases have been increased by 230% compared with the year 2016. In 88% of cases these patients have not been vaccinated. Measles cases in Italy have risen by 230% with regard to 2016 In the past month of march had been the World Health Organization, which had launched the alarm about the spread of the epidemic desarampión, emphasizing that ""the vaccination coverage is below 95%, placing Italy along with Romania, among the worst countries. That is to say, the vaccination of measles in Italy is particular to the 85 % instead of the minimum limit of the 95%. The data italians show the strong correlation between the percentage of citizens who have not been vaccinated and the spread of measles. In Italy decline the vaccinations, it is Worth noting that Italy is among the countries less virtuous in the topic of vaccinations, whose number is in steady decline. It reiterates the scientific community and the data of the Higher Institute of Health. The risk is that they appear foci of epidemics that had already disappeared in Italy. From 2015, the average coverage for vaccinations against polio, tetanus, hepatitis B, and whooping cough has been 93%. Of particular concern is the coverage of immunization, apart from the measles, on rubella, whose decline has been five percentage points, reaching 85.3%. The problem in Italy is the misinformation that exists about the vaccine, The problem in Italy is the misinformation that still exists regarding vaccines. The most spectacular is the case of the populist Movement 5 Stars, which is maintained in a surprising ambiguity, campaigning with the ""abuse of vaccines"", a position strongly criticised by the scientific community to consider creating uncertainty and misinformation, in many citizens. Controversy over report of the RAI The last serious controversy that lives in Italy has occurred in the wake of a report issued by the RAI (radio Television Italian public), in its ""Report,"" to disseminate suspicions about the vaccine against the human papilloma virus (HPV), a vaccine is the best weapon available for the prevention of cervical cancer (or cervix). It has raised a great scandal against the RAI, because many experts and political leaders, beginning with the minister of Health, Beatrice Lorenzin, the accuse of disinformation. Attack the vaccines, ""it is a fact very serious,"" said the minister. Professor Roberto Burioni, doctor who for years struggle against the false news on vaccines, has deemed it ""intolerable,"" the information of the RAI: ""Is like yelling ""there is a bomb in a stadium full to watch the people flee stepping on to the children. The vaccine saved your life. It is absurd to spread the panic."" Alarmed has also shown the doctor Walter Riciardi, president of the Higher Institute of Health: ""That information in the RAI is to throw in the trash. The result is that the telephone exchange of the Institute is collapsed by calls from parents frightened and distressed because they have vaccinated their daughters against the human papillomavirus"". Show surreal These compelling statements of scientists, against the many charlatans that circulate by Italy against vaccines, offers a spectacle surreal. While the World Health Organization states that ""vaccines are the main medical discovery ever made by man"", there are still those who spread the falsehood that the vaccination against measles, mumps and rubella cause autism. Two other falsehoods spread are that vaccines contain dangerous substances and that we can live without vaccines. Against this, the scientific community and health authorities to make them see that vaccination is a social responsibility and a duty in front of the next as part of a community. In short, vaccines are a true public service. The debate in Italy fell to so low levels that even the president of the Republic,Sergio Mattarella, had to intervene by throwing the country recently with a warning to combat the ignorance: ""it Is necessary to compare with decision serious involutions, as happens when they are put in discussion, on the basis of desconsideradas unsubstantiated claims, vaccinations essential to remove dangerous diseases and to prevent the return of other eradicated in the past years"".

Cases in the UK have also rocketed this year, as figures show parents are still not taking hundreds of young children for their measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccines. It means the area is falling below the vaccination level the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) says is required to prevent outbreaks of measles.  The most recent figures show that, in the 2016-17 financial year, 93 per cent of children in Derbyshire turning five had received the recommended two MMR jabs.  It means that an estimated 610 five-year-olds in the area had not been vaccinated.  The ECDC warns that areas in which fewer than 95 per cent of the population are vaccinated are at a heightened risk of a measles outbreak.  But only four countries in the EU have hit this target, with the UK among those falling short.  Across the East Midlands, just 89 per cent of children had received both MMR jabs by the age of five in 2016-17.  In the UK, 757 cases of measles have been reported so far this year – nearly triple the 274 cases reported in the whole of 2017.  The Royal College of Nursing (RCN) has also advised teenagers who missed their jabs in the late 1990s to ensure they are up to date before travelling.  Many missed the course of vaccination following discredited scare stories over links between the vaccine and developing autism.  While local figures are not available, NHS numbers show that by 2005-06, over a quarter of five-year-olds in England were not receiving both MMR jabs.  Following significant outbreaks in France, Italy, Greece and Romania, the RCN’s Helen Donovan said the threat posed by measles should not be underestimated.  She said: “Measles is extremely infectious, especially where large crowds of people gather, such as at festivals or in towns.  “Thanks to vaccination it has become increasingly rare in the UK, but recent increases in infection rates show we can’t be complacent.”  Ms Donovan also urged people to ensure their vaccinations are up to date, by contacting their GP.  She added: “The MMR vaccine is free. Getting immunised is quick and simple – an appointment with your practice nurse will only take a few minutes.”  In the UK, babies are usually given the first MMR jab within a month of their first birthday, as part of their routine vaccination schedule. The second is usually given after they turn three.  Children up to the age of 18 who missed their jabs are still eligible to receive them free on the NHS, as are certain vulnerable adults, including pregnant women.",55,"uk"

It took four months before health officials declared an end to the outbreak.  In 2015, California moved to require schoolchildren to receive vaccinations unless there were medical reasons not to do so, closing a loophole that granted exemptions for personal or religious reasons.  The state’s vaccination rates remain high – nearly 95 per cent of kindergartners in the last school year were vaccinated.  But the 2015 California law spurred a tripling in medical exemptions in the state, and this year, lawmakers passed a bill to rein in what critics have called bogus medical exemptions authorised by unscrupulous doctors.  From 1 January onwards, parents seeking a medical exemption for their child will need approval by the state health department.

Nevertheless, the physicians of the center for children and youth medicine of the University clinic of Mainz, argue clearly in favour of every child should be at least up to school age on a full Vaccination. Because in this country there is no compulsory vaccination, belong to the tasks of the house - as well as to advise children and youth doctors, their patients the vaccinations recommended by STIKO to. ""Only the protection of the individual plays a role, but also the so-called herd protection,"" stress the two pediatricians. Newborns, the chronically Ill or immune-compromised patients, which can (yet) be vaccinated themselves, depend on indirect protection through high vaccination Coverage levels in the population. Vaccinations for adults are Available Impfrisiken – the main concern of parents will be taken into account in the STIKO recommendations. ""Unwanted effects can not be excluded in principle, are, if correctly used, but very rarely,"" says Zepp. For the often-discussed consequences, such as autoimmune phenomena or autistic spectrum disorders there is no evidence. Also the fear that the vaccines contained aluminum could be harmful was unfounded. The absorption of Aluminium via vaccines is significantly lower than the individual aluminum load from the environment, such as on cosmetics. Even if Zepp and Kowalzik deal specifically with recommendations for children, can be vaccinations for adults are not completely hide, according to the authors. Finally, adults come when the Vaccination as a Carrier back in the game. The last pertussis vaccination or disease of back more than ten years, increases the risk of developing undetected to whooping cough. ""Because the typical symptoms are absent in adults often, can you bring infants unknowingly in danger,"" according to the authors. It is therefore advisable to take the whooping cough vaccination at least every ten years to refresh. To protect babies before their first pertussis vaccination prior to infection, it is even discussed, the vaccination of Pregnant women in the last trimester of pregnancy. The maternal antibodies, the children would then be in the first months of life reliably protected.

So far, the recommendation was only for girls. Since 2018, it is also true for boys. Because HPV infection also carries for you risks. Estimated to occur in men per year to 1,600 to 2,300 HPV-related cancers are diagnosed. With vaccination of both sexes, the spread of the Virus and the associated health risks can be reduced further. In view of the current discussion on the measles vaccination, the impression is that parents are faced with the Vaccination increasingly skeptical. According to the authors, the Participation rate has risen in the past few years, however, and for most of the vaccinations, at over 90 percent. A vaccination will be missed, is often not a conscious decision against vaccination. Often the Vaccinations were simply forgotten. The school entrance examination offers a good opportunity to make gaps to the attention of. So far, the vaccination status of the children is not collected in all provinces on a routine basis. The establishment of a Impfregisters for all citizens would be an important progress. Another starting point for the invitation to be practices of systems, the physician, the patients of upcoming vaccinations to be reminded of, as well as a cost-oriented financing of the Impfaufklärung in practice. In this way, the vaccination coverage could be increased probably more rapidly and conflict-poorer than coercive measures, are convinced the authors. Literature: F. Kowalzik and F.

To date, there are now 7 confirmed cases of measles affecting Dublin and Meath, with most of these cases in Dublin City.  The Measles Outbreak Control Team continues to investigate and advise on measures to control the further spread of this potentially serious illness. Alerts regarding measles have been sent to all Emergency Departments and General Practitioners (GPs) in the affected areas. Work is ongoing in identifying close contacts of cases who are being notified and advised by Public Health.  The best protection against measles is to be fully vaccinated with 2 doses of the MMR (Measles-Mumps-Rubella) vaccine.

As measles is now circulating in the community, it is important that everyone be aware of the possible risk of spread whenever groups of people gather.  People who have not been fully vaccinated with MMR vaccine or have not had measles in the past are at high risk of getting measles if exposed. Those most at risk of catching measles are children and adults who are not fully vaccinated with 2 doses of MMR vaccine such as babies aged 5- 12 months who are too young to be routinely vaccinated and children and adults with weakened immune systems  Dr John Cuddihy, Acting Assistant National Director for Health Protection said “measles can be a serious illness and is highly contagious. The best protection is to be fully vaccinated with 2 doses of MMR vaccine.”  More about measles  Measles is highly contagious and is spread easily. The time between exposure to measles and developing the rash is usually 14 days (range 7-21 days). People are infectious from 4 days before rash starts until 4 days after.  Measles symptoms include:  High fever  Cough  Runny nose  Red eyes  Red rash that starts on head and spread down the body- this normally starts a few days after onset of illness. The rash consists of flat red or brown blotches, which can flow into each other. It lasts about 4-7 days.  and spread down the body- this normally starts a few days after onset of illness. The rash consists of flat red or brown blotches, which can flow into each other. It lasts about 4-7 days. Vomiting, diarrhoea and tummy pain may also happen.  Complications of measles  Measles can cause chest infections, fits, ear infections, swelling of the brain and brain damage.  Prevent measles with the MMR vaccine:  All children should get MMR at 12 months of age and the second dose at 4-5 years of age.  If your child missed their scheduled MMR vaccine dose you should contact your GP to get the age-appropriate dose.  If you are an adult born since 1978 and have not received 2 doses of MMR you should contact your GP to get the MMR vaccine.  Anyone who develops measles symptoms should:  Stay at home and phone your GP  Tell the doctor or nurse that you think you might have measles  Stop visitors coming to the house to prevent spreading the infection  Measles is a notifiable disease and GPs and hospital clinicians should immediately notify public health if they suspect someone has measles.

"6319","VENICE - Is recorded in the Venetian the largest number of cases of measles reported in 2019, with a resurgence in particular in the last period, between may and July, months in which they have been ascertained, at least twenty of the infected people (bringing the total to thirty in the first seven months of the year), most of which (about two-thirds) in the center of town. You can, however, speak of an emergency, rather than a cyclical phenomenon already demonstrated in the past, and not such as to arouse apprehension. Ulss 3, in fact, reassures: ""there is No cause for alarm, the cases that have occurred up to now are a little over 20 and for this there is space for a clear intervention to prevention"". To detect that it was mostly adults between 30 and 50 years, then we talk about that age group today are still, in some way, the risk of contagion: who has not had the disease as a child, and has not been vaccinated. CHILDREN's ""peace of mind"" ""The phenomenon is not linked to the subject of vaccination for children, – explains the Company's health - which, however, in Venice, Ulss 3 Serenissima is leading with very positive results, with a coverage that has reached and exceeded the 96% of the children, improving even the objective of the regional in-place to 95%. No emergency then, neither for adults nor for children, they remember, if they want to go to school in the next year, however, they must be regularly vaccinated. With regard to the families of the people infected in recent weeks in the territory of the province, the Ulss 3 Serenissima has already proceeded to offer to close contacts, relatives and friends, the prophylaxis specification: the anti measles-mumps-rubella (mmr). From the beginning of the year today in the Veneto region have been reported, however, about eighty of the cases, 80% of which concerned precisely unvaccinated persons, thirty in-patients, average age of between 33 and 34 years of age, equally distributed between males and females. After Venice, where they touch the thirty cases,the province that has recorded a higher incidence is Verona (less than half of the Venetian), followed by Treviso, Vicenza, Padova, Belluno and Rovigo. A possible interpretation of the data could be directly connected to the great tourist vocation of the venetian territory, where he stays for about half of the visitors who arrive in our region. EFFECT Greater PRESENCES relations, exchanges and contacts. On the other hand, it should also be noted, however, that while talking about a significant recovery of the disease, being, precisely, an infectious disease caused by a virus, you just have to have a case in the family to create immediately new where there are the conditions, another reason to not arouse fears. Always with regard to the Veneto region, the overall trend is still on a growth trend from September 2016 to today, with a peak in particularly high that was detected in the first months of 2017, then the situation is indented to the level of normality throughout the 2018, while the numbers are gradually returned to climb starting from the last months of this year. The age group most affected is the 15 to 39 years, immediately after are the people who are between 40 and 64 years.

"6496","“The lady Chacobidon pregnant at 37 week he does not believe in the effectiveness of vaccines, but in the fact that the disease leads to a healthy immune system. Therefore, neither she nor the son of 6 years old are vaccinated for the measles. With the joy of the mother, the son begins to show all the typical symptoms of measles: rhinitis, conjunctivitis, fever, rash and a whitish spots on the mucous membrane of the mouth. A week after the lady presented herself to the emergency room with bronchitis, fever and risk of giving birth early, not to mention the recent measles son. It is treated with antibiotics because it is thought to be a bacterial infection, without improvement of the situation, but with the appearance of a skin rash or incorrectly associated with an allergy to the treatment. The child was born premature and has fever, cough and conjunctivitis. However, after healing, but 18 months after birth begins to show neurological symptoms more and more severe leading to death after 10 months.” What you've just read is a case study, based on a true story, which is presented to the students of medicine of the University of Geneva in the course of infettivologia and allows us to deepen the knowledge of this pathogen. Measles is a virus belonging to the family of Paramyxovirus, which is the first of the extended vaccination campaign caused up to 2 million deaths a year. In 2015, where estimates of immunization coverage average of 85% at a global level, the virus has caused 134200 deaths, or 367 deaths per day and 15 per hour. Measles is a highly infectious respiratory route and is able to withstand up to 2 hours in the air or on contaminated surfaces. Its danger is related to the fact that it is able to infect not only the cells of the respiratory tract but also the immune system with subsequent dissemination throughout the body. Here is the reason why the symptoms involving the skin, the buccal mucosa, eyes and the nervous system. Infecting the cells of the immune system that causes a weakening of the same, facilitating secondary infections, especially bacterial pathogens, which are often the cause of child deaths associated with the measles, especially in developing countries. In addition, the virus, especially in immunocompromised, can cause a persistent infection in the central nervous system causing, at a distance of months or years after the primary infection, inflammation and damage to neuronal, as in the case of the newborn case study. There are no drugs specific for measles, but for 50 years we have a vaccine that is safe, effective, and not expensive (about $ 1 per immunization), based on a measles virus live attenuated. In Italy the vaccine for measles is not compulsory but is recommended and is generally administered in combination with mumps and rubella (MMR) 2 doses, one around the first year of age and the second between 5 and 6 years. The immunity then lasts for the entire life. In the European Union, the vaccination coverage is not sufficient to prevent circulation of measles (14 countries below the threshold of 95% required) and from 1 November 2015 to 31 October 2016, have been reported in 30 countries, 3.037 cases of measles with Italy is in second place for number of cases and incidence. The first place we find Romania, where currently there is a large outbreak of measles, with 2.319 cases reported to January 20, 2017 and 14 deaths. Being born in 1987, year in which in Italy were administered a single dose of the vaccine, I have recently had the second dose, and in the case of the lady Chacobidon and the data presented here make me feel lucky to be in the part of the world where to receive a vaccine is simple, and at the same time disappointed to be in the same part of the world where there is someone, who forgets or puts groundlessly doubt on their effectiveness.

In total, since the outbreak broke out, there is a total of 72 suspected cases of measles, most of which have a connection to work at the Santo António Hospital, in Porto. Out of the 72 cases, of which 25 were confirmed at a laboratory at the National Institute of Health Dr. Ricardo Jorge, and 15 were infirmados,"" says the press release of the DGS, which points to the fact that it is just a 15-scenarios, have been bewildered to have no signs of infectious disease. In addition to the cases identified until Friday night, the DGS notes that ""the remaining cases are awaiting laboratory result"". All of the cases were adults, and 3 and admitted to the clinical situation is stable,"" the statement said. The outbreak of measles has led over 700 people to be vaccinated only in the Hospital de Santo António, in Porto, in the last couple of days. A 40% non-recipients of The communication to the DGS also notes that, of the 25 people infected with measles in five had no vaccination, four were in the scheme, the vaccination is incomplete, and one had an unknown status. For the purposes of exclusion from the parties in 15 patients, 60% of the total, which is the public health authority does not say whether they have been vaccinated, although one can deduce it. The DGS points out, however, that in the 17 hours of the day, the 16th of march and have been administered in 865 the doses of the vaccine, VASPR (measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine) for professionals of the Hospital de Santo António"", and ""there is an ongoing vaccination of patients"", thus assuming that the majority of the cases were diagnosed with the measles, and the suspects have connections to the biggest hospital in the city of Porto. People who are vaccinated, the disease may arise as a result of a clinical picture more mild and less contagious,"" says the press release of the DGS, where it is emphasized that, ""the people who have already had measles are immune and will no longer have the disease. The greatest number of cases Since the DGS took over the northern part of the country is under a bout of the pox, ""a disease that is infectious, more infectious and can cause severe illness, especially in people who are not vaccinated,"" the Hospital of st. Anthony has been acknowledged as a region where the infection has proliferated. In addition to the scaling up of the vaccination among health-care workers, the DGS will assume that the majority of the cases, it continues to be the one who has a ""connection to work at the Santo António Hospital, in Porto. On Friday, the director-general of the Health, Grace Freitas, acknowledged that there may be two new cases of measles, despite the fact that ""no evidence that [the virus] is out of control"" and ""in the course of the investigation, the epidemiological details of a situation, and that includes in the research lab all the time.""",54,"portugal"
"27010","At a time when there is an outbreak in progress on the Port, the DGS calls the shots. About 5% of children will continue to fail, with the first dose of vaccine at 12 months of age. For adults, the focus is turned to those who were born after 1970 and has not been vaccinated as a child. A year after the outbreak, it did trigger the alarm in the Uk about the danger of a return of polio, which at the time resulted in the death of a teenage girl 17-year-old who had contracted the disease at the Hospital of Cascais, this is the scenario repeats itself. And all indications are that the outbreak is ongoing in the Northern region will reach proportions that are much larger than that of the 20 cases that were reported last year in Lisbon, to which must be added seven cases of measles in an outbreak, the less in the Algarve, two of the patients declared to be outliers. The debate about whether health-care professionals, in this case the most affected, they should be required to have the vaccine on the day he entered into the calendar. Grace Stevens, director-general of Health, points out that, first of all, we need to continue to raise awareness of the vaccination is the only way to slow down the progression of the disease in the community, and to prevent the more severe manifestations. Over the past few months, since the outbreak of the fall of 2017, the DGS has strengthened the call for vaccination, and has launched a campaign to 'repescar' adults ' by the vaccine, the target audience is young adults, who were born after the 1970's, and is now in a phase of transition,"" says Grace Stevens. This is because the measles vaccine has been included in the National Programme on Immunization in 1974, but membership was not just a high level. And if the older ones have been exposed to the disease during childhood, and because of this they keep some of the immunity, the more young people rely on the immunization of-to better fight the viruses that have been spread in Europe on account of the movements of ‘antivacinas’. The good news, "" says the SUN's Free Books that is, in the last year, it was possible to vaccinate 40 million adults who have not had the vaccine. These outbreaks, which unfortunately, happen to provide an opportunity for people to review the board"", said the responsible person, who does not want to decide on the imposition of the vaccine to health-care professionals to defend what the strategy is for health care providers and the committees for the prevention of infection of the drives, perform a precautionary approach, as set forth. How many of the people without the vaccine? It is the vaccine as a child,"" it is Not clear how many of the adults don't have the vaccine - that the accounting will become much easier over the next few months, when you have finished the process of digitizing the newsletters to get the booklets in yellow that show all shots are up to date, and that by the year 2017 began to be translated into a national data base. But the Grace Freitas believes that there is no reason to believe that the universe of health care professionals will be different from that of the general population: ""All people are vaccinated for in children, and a person in a year, don't know if it was going to be a doctor, engineer, or it security. If the coverage has been about 95%, it will be on the cover of a health-care professional. In the north it is even higher, at home from the 97% to 98%, which is why we have professionals, will be the same"". The most recent data suggest that, in 2015-2016, down slightly from the total number of people with some kind of immunity to measles, to eur 94.2%, which is the Free de Freitas said, however, that it cannot be considered to be the ""order of the protection of the group, as he arrived in the ring. ""I have worked in the large outbreak of the measles, before the immunity of the group, and then we had hundreds of cases in the outbreak, which at the time was all of the age groups. It's like a fire in the back, there are no weeds to pick, it is confined to. If not, then it becomes endemic,"" he says, Grace Stevens. Even so, this may be news to the less good, and the most recent data for the fall of 2017, reveals to the SUN the head, to show that in the past year, 5% of the children had failed with the first dose of vaccine at 12 months of age and older, and suggests that in order to keep the increase in the group of people without the vaccine at a rate of about 4500 people per year. Freitas stresses that it is not certain that all of you have been deprived of the vaccine because some parents take their children to the health center, with 13, 14 or 15 months old. But the coordinator stresses the importance of complying with the schedule, these are the recommended ages, and to contribute to the protection of the group. The outbreak is in progress in the Harbor, all of it began with one man, 27-year-old who contracted the disease in France and went on to incubate the virus to the Uk, and eventually spread it to a family member and a health-care professional. But in the past year, one of the first of the cases was an infant who had not yet done with the vaccination. I bastonária of the Nurses rejected it and that is the problem you are in by the vaccine, pointing to the lack of staff in the health centres, and the limited hours of the office of vaccines. Graça Freitas, and rejects what is to a greater or less number of resources, the cause of the constraints in this area. ""When we started the national program of vaccination, there was no CHARGE, and dropped out, up to three million people against the disease. What was different was that people were afraid of these diseases, and it is important that the people they see vaccination as a matter of priority. Unfortunately, there are a lot of diseases that we can't avoid, but others we can. But today, people don't know that it was to go to the school to have these diseases, the measles, the mumps, the whooping cough. Vaccination is a right, a duty and an act of solidarity"", said Grace Stevens. From France to Portugal, How do you explain then, there was an outbreak in a hospital, for the second year in a row? Free Freitas points out that this is the ""pattern of the outbreak in a developed country with a high vaccination coverage"", because in the school most of the children are orphaned and in the hospital, where there is a good chance of entering the patient related to the countries with outbreaks of the assets, it is the generation that, in the transition from 20 to 40 years of age, who may not have received the vaccine and who is recommended for the vaccination, but for those that may not be as much time - on stream in 2016 and the measles was a disease of officially eradicated in the country. The fact that a person with the virus is contagious for two days prior to the eruptions on the skin, it makes the detection less straightforward. At the outbreak of the Harbour, the case was a young French, 27-year-old who resides in the Uk and had returned recently from France. Has been extended to a family member, and if you go to a Hospital in san Antonio, has been extended to those who attended. ""How do the professionals make the shift, and several hours to put together and work on some of the other hospitals, that may be an explanation for the development of the outbreak"", said Grace Stevens. The connection to France is that of the epidemic in which it is to be seen as, and in particular in the region of Nouvelle Aquitaine, with more than 900 cases. Since the outbreak was signalled in the Harbour, they are to be found in family, friends, and colleagues of all those who are sick. ""You know, with respect to each and every patient, all of the people who attended,"" said Grace Stevens, who speaks of ""dozens and dozens of contacts, and underlines the fact that there are interviews in the course of on a daily basis for epidemiological research to be ""difficult"", and that is only expected to be completed in the next few months.",54,"portugal"

""There is a need to vacinem, it's very important,"" said Trump, from the garden of the White House. Prior to being elected as the president, a millionaire, was associated often with the spectrum of autism, and the multiple doses of the vaccine given concurrently, but it is not expressed that view recently. ""I'm not against vaccinations for your children, and I'm opposed to giving them all a dose of solid.

It is in a stellar spot on the cover of the Diario de Cádiz that Delkáder was appointed favorite son of the city, the meeting of directors of the chain to BE in their family photo with Gates of the Land of background and the autonecrológica framed that a myth of the Diario de Cádiz of the 60's and 70's, Fernando Fernandez, left reserved before you die to just going to the hole. Delkáder is a key actor in the development of communication in Spain. And his career started in Cadiz, in this Journal, which he held for little less than a year when he was barely 25 years old, during the months that followed the death of Franco. Linking with Cadiz continues to be big. Each time you can escape to your home in Zahara, and likes to do the same tour of his childhood, the way of the former college of San Felipe, “the way of the end of the world”, or sitting in the plaza Mina, where he grew up. “The lads are still playing at this beautiful square, like I did as a child” –were you a precocious director. –It is not my merit. I can say that almost I learned to read with the Journal of Cadiz, this large-size sheet that a mysterious hand left below the gate of the house of my parents. It would be by these readings from a very small was clear that he wanted to be a journalist, although my father, who was very strict, I wanted to study something else, so I studied journalism and law, but having very clear what was going to devote my life. I did the practices in Diario de Cádiz, in calle Ceballos, and I struck up a friendship with Pepe Joly and Federico Joly, the brothers who were the owners of the newspaper. By then it was out of the newspaper very late, at five in the morning, and I went with them to the terrace of the bar Lucifer and there we had long conversations about the history of Cadiz, on its splendour of the EIGHTEENTH century, and on its decline. –But should you be a guy very smart to give him that responsibility. –Was a pivotal moment in Spanish life, and Federico wanted to give a twist to the newspaper. Trusted me, what was the height of my satisfaction. He was the youngest of the Drafting, and was the director! –I see that you have the obituary for Fernando Fernandez hung in his office. Was his companion then. –Was a journalist who caused me a very deep impression. Presumed not to have gone to any school and, however, was a man tremendously cult that she wrote wonderfully well. Drove all the rules of the trade. A man who has not passed unnoticed. –What was it that I wanted exactly you Federico Joly? –I had a very clear idea: to structure public opinion. The influence of Journal of Cadiz in their environment was huge. We walked into a democratic era and we had to standardize things without major fanfare. There was the Group of Drago, a group of opinion that was expressed through the newspaper in defense of the democratic system and did it with total freedom but also with responsibility. In those years I met many people. The editors were Manuel Chaves and Rafael Román, who by then were clandestine, and we did echo of those things, things like the socialists were. With the complicity and the thrust of the company we managed to make a good newspaper. –Did you not have pressures? –The Joly have always been editors of the already scarcely. I used to run with absolute freedom, and they were devoted to their plot. I am in my work and they in yours, the aim was to ensure the interests of the city and the province. –I see that still today, in your office, you have the Journal in mind. –Each day when I arrive at work, whether here or in America, the first thing I do is to open the computer, see the post, and then read the Diario de Cádiz. As I say, a habit since childhood. For me, Cadiz is everything, what I have inside, not only because there I spent my childhood or because it gave me my first professional opportunity, but also in the sentimental. In Cadiz I met my wife, Alicia, and in Cadiz my first son was born. –Then you will be a keen observer also of our weaknesses. From those conversations of yours with José and Federico Joly in the Lucero does not just raise its head. –I think that lack of a definition, to adapt to the times for being aware of that you can not have everything at the same time. Are needed political leadership, and business to channel productive investments. And, above all, it is necessary to rebel against this spirit, which seems to have been settled that the decline is inevitable. Cadiz will never be industrial, but it has other potentialities. It can be a capital of services, tourism of the first level, you have to use the port and also convince yourself that you can be a capital university. Journalism is changing and some is exploit to oeuvre defective merchandise” –does Not seem so easy. –Look, a place that struck me was Birmingham, in the united States, in Alabama, an example of racial integration. I was there with a scholarship to Marshall. It is not a very large city and it was amazing the role that was played by the university in the economic prosperity. –Do you know the mayor, Kichi? –I've never been with him. It is the mayor who want the city's people, so that little more is there to say. I see some very positive things, and if it departs from the opportunism of certain populism, which I think it does, I'm sure that's going to be a good mayor. –He left Cadiz for The Country. –I knew Juan Luis Cebrián of my time in the Information and the summer of ' 75 came to go on holiday to Cadiz and told me about the project that was putting in place. A week before Franco died, The Country already had permission to leave. Cebrián wanted to be with him. It was a unique opportunity in a historical moment to enter in an adventure in which we were all very young people, people without a resume the past. It was a new stage. –That truly grew up, and you have been the protagonist of that transformation as a journalist, but also as a manager. –Polanco was an editor very seriously that he left work and was very clear on where to reinvest the benefits. This has given The Country a reference point in Spain and in the Latin american world with millions of readers who follow him faithfully. –Apart of The Country, has also been responsible for the expansion of the chain to BE. I've heard you say that if there is a backbone in this country, that is the string to BE. –Yes, I say it a lot to politicians. Is that think that the chain has, for example, in Jodar, a town of Jaen, a broadcaster and a journalist. Anything that happens in Spain is close to a journalist to BE. There is a capillarity and the capacity for integration of different networks of stations.

The challenge was to make it competitive both in the journalistic as well as in management. -In that structuring, if we talk about the problem of Catalan, I guess that Radio Barcelona plays its role. –Radio Barcelona is an institution in Catalonia. It is very identified with the territory, but there has to be at the service of the interests of no one and least of a populist fervor that the only thing that is seeking to defend privileges of a class very specific. –He was commissioned to the challenge of growing up in America. –It was a huge effort for the company and me, personally, I did travel a lot. The first step was to Colombia, Radio Caracol, where we had very good radio. Colombia was then, in 98, a country in transition, so the challenge were especially nice. And I discovered Bogotá, a city so wonderful and spectacular. –Also landed in Chile. –In Chile the situation was more standardized. Today it is a country serious and solvent. The advantage there is that the Spanish are very well received, we are treated like national. –Well, the president of Mexico doesn't look at us as well. –López Obrador should devote their effort to manage a country so promising in instead of trying to revise history. –Has been a spectator of the growth and decline of the populist left in Latin america. –The main problem of America is the distribution of wealth, and that does not solve neither populism nor the ultranacionalismos. When Joly put me to the front of the Journal was the youngest of the Drafting, And was the director!” –In all this time he has had contact and has worked with journalists which you have marked. How dare you tell me names? –Naturally, would be many. Here I admire very much Inaki Gabilondo and in America is Darío Arizmendi, Caracol Radio. Of course, Juan Luis Cebrian, an innovative journalism in Spain which owe the foundations of The Country. And that I have signed I am especially proud of Alfredo Relano. Of all of them and many more I have learned. But in these times all we would have to re-read the great chronicles of Manuel Chaves Nogales during the Republic and the same civil war. Your vision is not aligning itself neither with one nor the other, is an example of commitment to journalism. -He went on to say in his exile in London that had become a journalist perfectly fusilable. -Yes, because we would have been able to shoot one and the other. That's what I meant. - Do you have not missed the exercise of the profession all these years? –The profession of journalist is like the cure. One is always a journalist. Very of when in when I write articles, but I have to be careful as pledge the opinion of our media. Our office, in addition, requires dedication. I have in mind to do at some point interviews with a number of characters in our late stage business and policy. It is a project, but I don't know when I will be able to do so. –Since I talk about politics, tell me about the policy now. –The current situation is marked by a lack of leadership. The Spanish society has been shaken by the economic crisis and it is difficult to manage and give response to the aftermath that has left. We should leave aside personal positions and achieve broad political consensus to resolve the fundamental problems. The challenges are huge and we should stop wasting time. I speak of employment, distribution of wealth, access to the labour market, sustainability of the welfare state, energy transformation, a new economic model... to enter into these matters is what would return the trust in politics. –What about the business world? –Spain has a lot of value added because we have large companies with many years that are admirable. The phenomenon Zara, El Corte Inglés, which is something more than a chain of stores, Telefónica or Iberdrola or our agri-food sector. Are also emerging important high-tech firms. The image of the enterprise sector in Spain in the world is good. –It is required that let's take a look at the crisis of journalism, or of what, for the most apocalyptic, is the death of journalism. –The journalism is being transformed and in that transformation some are taking advantage of to's oeuvre defective merchandise. But past the first measles and once adapted to the new technologies, journalism is going to come out with a plus of credibility. There are changes very noticeable. Today information is a commodity. The business of journalism is no longer the industrial production of a well is a perishable, that has finished. But this situation gives more value to the creation of the journalists and also forces you to be a greater demand. I think that journalism is not only not going to die, but that's going to come out stronger",54,"spain"

It is recalled that the most effective way to prevent measles is vaccination with the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR). This vaccine is very safe, as has been the experience of the vaccination of several million children worldwide. It is noted that in order to achieve prevention of epidemics required a very high level of vaccination in the population. The necessary preventive interventions and measures for preparedness in the health units is ongoing. The evolution of the epidemic in Europe and Greece is systematically monitored by the Ministry of Health and the CDC, and depending on the course you are given guidelines based on the data and the opinion of the competent scientific institutions. The generally high level of vaccination coverage of children in the country, which has been found in several studies in the recent past, is a positive factor, but should not lead to complacency.

Alarming is the number of cases in the united states, Israel, Thailand and Tunisia. In the United States, the number of confirmed cases of measles rose by almost 20% last week.

If high fever, skin rashes, coughing, are common symptoms of the measles, researchers alert on another consequence of the transmission of the virus. This viral infection weakens greatly the immune system once in the body, the measles virus would result in lower antibodies, pre-existing, which offer protection against other pathogens. This is according to researchers in the us and finland, whose work has been published in the scientific journal Science. ""A good number of deaths attributable to the virus of measles are caused by secondary infections because the virus infects and weakens the functionally immune cells,"" says Michael J. Mina, one of the main authors of the study. In arriving at this conclusion, the scientists conducted a blood test on children, before and after a natural infection with the measles virus, and children before and after the administration of the measles vaccine. Thanks to a device called VirScan, the authors were able to not only detect the infections present at the time of the tests, but also get a history of past infections in the body of the child. Risk of infection by other pathogens as Well, they have been able to discover that the infection in measles decreased significantly the immune system, increasing the risk of infection by other pathogens.

The warning comes as many European countries struggle to contain large outbreaks of the contagious disease.  More than 4,000 cases have been recorded in Romania, with 18 measles related deaths there in the past six months.  The UK, Italy, France, Germany, Belgium and Poland have also reported outbreaks, a situation that the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) has attributed to ""an accumulation of unvaccinated individuals"".  While anyone can get measles, it is more common in younger people. A respiratory disease, measles can cause a patient to cough and sneeze and develop a red-brown rash that lasts for five to seven days, but severe complications can occur and include miscarriage in pregnant women and potentially fatal brain swelling and pneumonia.  Most of the population of Ireland is protected, having received the MMR vaccine in childhood.  While the vaccination is generally given to 12-month-old infants, with a second dose at age four or five, doctors advise parents to seek out the vaccine for babies aged between six and 11 months if you plan on travelling to another European country in the coming months.  “Today’s travel patterns put no person or country beyond the reach of the measles virus."" said Dr Zsuzsanna Jakab, WHO Regional Director for Europe.

There is to say that the recent recall actions of persons not vaccinated in the range between 20 and 25 years, both in Fano to Urbino, are giving a good margin of safety. Increased the vaccination coverage of childhood, which, according to the unofficial data, in the child population up to 24 months of life have reached the’89,90 percent to Urbino and l’85,31 to Fano. However remains problematic the situation of Pesaro, where, although the rate of vaccination increased from the previous 67% to the current 72 percent, we are very far from the immunity ‘of the flock’ which is achieved when at least 95 percent of the subjects decide to immunize itself by reducing the circulation of viruses and the possibility that the non-vaccinated are getting sick. But there is another aspect that does not sleep soundly for health. ""We are very close (in terms of possible contagion, ndr) in Pescara, where, since February, has spread an epidemic of measles, which in little more than a month has recorded 75 consultations in the department of Infectious hospital and 25 hospitalizations for the most serious cases – says a pediatrician, which is also confirmed by other doctors pesaresi – Just a single infection with one of our young people who have not been vaccinated for this disease in the past, to create a potential element of alarm, even from us"".

The purpose of the Week in the World of vaccination, which will continue until Friday, the UNICEF, it is estimated to have immunized nearly half of all children under five years of age. Bought in one hundred countries, around 2.5 billion doses of vaccines, making up the UN body, the biggest buyer in the world. In a statement, the UNICEF, emphasized that “serves more than half of the world's children with vaccines that can save lives,” and says that, despite progress, millions of children are still not covered by the vaccination, which protects their lives”. Access to immunization has led to a decrease in impressive in the deaths of children under five years of age due to illnesses that can be prevented by immunization, and has brought the world closer to the goal of eradicating polio,” said UNICEF. And if you dramatically decreased the deaths due to measles, and tetanus toxoid, decreased also by almost half of the deaths due to pneumonia and more than half of the deaths due to diarrhea over the same period (2000 to 2015) and, as a result of the vaccine. Millions of children with no immunizations, The United Nations children's fund points out, however, that some of the 19.4 million children not receiving vaccines, completing in the whole world. For the most part, about two-thirds of people live in countries affected by conflict. Poor health care, poverty, and social inequality also means that one out of every five children under the age of five is still not reached with the vaccine that could save their lives,” said UNICEF. To quote the chief in the area of immunization, UNICEF Robin Nandy, the press release notes that the immunization has been one of the main reasons for the considerable decline in the mortality of children”, despite the fact that “some 1.5 million children still die each year from diseases that can be prevented with a vaccine.",53,"portugal"

"32814","Ebola spread to Congo’s South Kivu region last week  The NGO added: “Since July, the epidemic has worsened, with a rise in new cases reported in several provinces.” So far, “only $2.5million (L2million) has been raised out of the $8.9million (L7.3million) required for the Health Cluster response plan – in stark contrast with the Ebola epidemic which attracts multiple organisations and hundreds of millions of dollars in funding,” MSF also said on Twitter. The NGO further warned without a “massive mobilisation of funds and response organisations, the current measles outbreak in #DRCongo could get even worse”. MSF said it has vaccinated 474,860 children between the ages of six months and five years since January and treated more than 27,000 measles patients.  But while comprehensive vaccination programmes are the only way to stop the disease from running amok and spreading, misinformation about vaccines often hampers such plans. Measles is highly contagious and can be fatal, killing one or two of every 1,000 children who contract it. The most serious complications include blindness, hearing loss, brain swelling, diarrhoea and acute respiratory infections. It poses the greatest risk to unvaccinated children. Global cases more than doubled last year to almost 350,000 from 2017, according to the World Health Organisation (WHO), amid a spike in so-called “anti-vaxxer” sentiment in some richer countries and a lack of preventative measures in poorer nations.  Congo declared a measles outbreak in June, but rampant insecurity in the country’s northeast has hobbled a vaccination drive and forced people to flee their homes. Meanwhile, Ebola has been spreading in eastern Congo since August 2018 in an epidemic that has now claimed more than 1,900 lives. Efforts to contain it have been hampered by militia violence and widespread community resistance to foreign help. Ebola grabbed the world’s attention last month after the WHO declared it a public health emergency of international concern, sounding a rarely used global alarm. The warning came after the killer virus spread to Goma, a transit hub of nearly 2 million people on the porous frontier with Rwanda, stoking fears of cross-border contamination.

The 35-year-old, from Surbiton, Surrey, now claims she was bombarded with abuse by parents who refuse to vaccinate their kids after posting pictures of stricken Alba online.  She told the Daily Mail: ""I've never witnessed hatred like it from mothers to another mother.  ""They were blaming me, saying that it was my fault she'd got measles because I hadn't kept her at home all year.  ""They said I had been feeding Alba poison because I'd been formula-feeding her — in fact, I'd been breastfeeding — and at one point, they suggested that none of it was real.

WHO has said that measles cases have jumped up by 50 per cent in the last year. It's a highly infectious viral illness that can sometimes lead to very serious complications. It can cause things like pneumonia and encephalitis - both of which can kill or leave people seriously disabled for the rest of their lives.

The first jab is given to kids at around 13 months old, while a second dose is administered at around three years, four months. There is no link at all between having the MMR vaccine and autism - even in children who have other risk factors for the condition, scientists confirmed back in March. That's the conclusion of a nationwide study of all children born in Denmark to Danish-born mums between 1999 and 2010.

What to do ? Answers. Measles is one of the most contagious diseases in the world. In a report published on Wednesday 28 August 2019, the world health Organization (WHO) reported 89 994 cases of measles in 48 european States in the first half of 2019, which is two times higher than the same period last year and already 6 000 more cases compared to all cases listed in 2018 (84 462). Moreover, measles is making a comeback in countries in Europe where it had been eradicated : Greece, Albania, the United Kingdom and the Czech Republic. This disease is endemic in 12 european countries, including France. ""We régressons. We do the wrong road, and that is extremely worrying. Of course for the health of children, but not only, because measles is also a disease that affects adults,"" is concerned about Katherine O'brien, the director of the department of immunization at WHO in an article by Franceinfo. While the disease is almost completely preventable with two doses of the vaccine to be safe and effective"" reminds us of the WHO. Measles is a childhood diseases the most contagious. It can also catch it in adulthood, and lead to serious complications (pulmonary, neurological). It can be recognized by small red spots that appear at the beginning behind the ears and on the forehead. Misconceptions about this infectious disease are many, as much as people with no or little awareness of the risks and who have not been vaccinated during their childhood. Measles is caused by a virus of the paramyxoviridae family, very contagious, which primarily affects young children and is transmitted in the air. This is not a benign disease and it can lead to, at any age, serious complications. So far, vaccination has helped to reduce significantly the number of deaths due to measles. Measles is one of the infectious diseases the most contagious, since one person can infect between 15 and 20 people. It is transmitted mainly by air, either directly to a sick person (coughing, sneezing, talking to them), or indirectly when the virus remains present in the air or on a contaminated surface. What is the incubation time ? A person is contagious for about 3 to 5 days before the rash appears, until 5 days after the first buttons. The surrounding non-immune is very often contaminated, at any age. Initially, for 3 to 4 days, the disease manifests itself by the appearance of symptoms suggestive of a common cold : runny nose, conjunctivitis, cough, fatigue, and high fever (between 39 and 40°). Then follows, for a week. rash. It is manifested by the appearance of small spots, very red, slightly elevated, which can leave areas of normal skin. The rash is backward, that is to say, it appears first on the face (behind the ears, on the forehead, on the cheeks, then on the neck, upper body, before reaching the ends). During this period, the person is still feverish and very tired. Rhinitis and conjunctivitis may disappear, but the cough can last until the end of the infection. It can also cause vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. Finally, in some cases, measles can result in hospitalization, including pneumonia or serious neurological complications, up to death. In fact, the complications are present in about 30 % of measles cases. They affect most often in infants less than one year of non-vaccinated and young adults. In addition, people with a compromised immune system are especially fragile. Namely : a child vaccinated against measles can still catch it but it is in this case less strong and less risky. How to differentiate the buttons of measles and chicken pox ? While the rash, in measles cases, appears first on the face, and then the rest of the body, the buttons - in the case of a varicella - commonly occur on the chest and face, followed by a strong itching. The buttons of chicken pox look like rose-coloured spots, which are then transformed into vesicles filled with transparent substance. To recognize a case of measles, it is therefore necessary to take into consideration the other symptoms (nasal discharge, conjunctivitis, cough, fatigue and fever). Remember that chickenpox is manifested by a moderate fever, but also headaches, and abdominal pain. In case of doubt, please do not hesitate to seek the advice of your doctor. Contrary to what one might think, measles is not a childhood disease. Of course, babies under 12 months are the most affected since they are fragile and have not yet received their first dose of vaccine. For many, the complications, the more severe are also common in adolescents and young adults. ""In over 15 years, in half of all cases of measles, a hospitalization is necessary,"" says the ministry of Health. In addition, adults who have not been vaccinated during their childhood, the risk of serious sequelae when they get to adulthood. Recall that a young woman of 32 years died in Poitiers in February last as a result of measles. Measles in adults : symptoms, treatment, incubation If the measles mainly affects children, it can also affect adults. The point with Yannick Schmitt, a physician and President of the Regroupement Autonomous Generalists Young Installed and Replacements (ReAGJIR). The MMR vaccine helps to avoid the contagion, and is recommended for all individuals who are not yet vaccinated. In fact, no curative treatment exists against the disease, and the only way to eliminate it is to have a vaccine coverage wide, at 95 % (WHO recommendation). The measles vaccine (MMR) : age, reminders, and efficiency To avoid contracting the measles, a highly contagious viral infection that can affect both adults and children, the only reliable method remains the vaccination. At what age be vaccinated ? When are the callbacks ? No specific treatment recommended for measles simple. In case of fever or infection, your doctor may prescribe an antibiotic. To fight the fever, he will be able to complete the treatment by antipyretics. In cases of persistent fever and more than 38.5°C, an based drug of paracetamol or ibuprofen may be prescribed, respecting the contraindications. Be careful, if your child is under three months, give only acetaminophen (60 mg per kilo per day, divided into four or six plugs).

Mrs Benjamin, an epidemiologist, and mässlingsexpert in the Folkhälsomyndigheten, of the disease, and the risks involved. Photo credit: Lena Katarina Johansson-the Disease is one of the most contagious diseases. This is a very serious disease that can lead to brain damage and even death. The vaccine is the only way to protect yourself. The world health organisation, WHO, are now pointed out that measles is spreading rapidly. In the first two months of this year, 34 000 people were infected in Europe. Most of the infected are in the Ukraine, Romania, and Albania. The worst affected are Ukraine, where around 25 000 mässlingsfall to the hotel. The majority of the infected people had inadequate or no vaccination coverage at all. Also, in Latin america, the disease has regained a foothold. The reason for the break-out is usually a lack of the health care system. In Venezuela, it had been the measles, but now that hälsovardapparaten has been found, it has been back to the disease. This is a big step backward. The same thing in the Ukraine. Once you have gathered so many people in the population who are not vaccinated, then it can be the outbreak to be large, "" says Mrs Benjamin, an epidemiologist, and mässlingsexpert in the Folkhälsomyndigheten. Is also increasing in the western world, the Disease has become more prevalent in the rich western countries, where vaccination coverage has historically been strong. The us government has registered about 700 cases of measles this year, which is the highest figure recorded since the disease was declared eliminated in this country in the year 2000. The disease is now found in 22 states, and the majority of the cases are concentrated in the outbreak in the state of Washington, and two in New York city. More than half of the cases, about 400, above all, the children in some orthodox jewish communities in Brooklyn, New York city, where some refuse to vaccinate their children. And with the increase in travel, the travel, the disease rapidly across the face of the earth. Thanks to an effective vaccine, and a universal vaccination program to have measles has been eliminated in Sweden. This includes vaccination against the measles vaccine in the general vaccination programme for children in the 1970s. People who were born before vaccination programmes were introduced, have often had the measles as a child and has had life-long immunity. Sporadic cases occur each year by people infected abroad. In some cases, the spread of the disease within Sweden, however, due to a high level of immunity in the population, it leads to rarely any major outbreaks. The risk of infection in Sweden is low, but is higher abroad. Therefore, it may be helpful to review the need for additional vaccination before travelling abroad. Children who have not yet received their first dose of the MMR vaccine, and that is to travel to another country can bring forward the first dose. One dose of the vaccine provides a 93-95% protection and two doses, 97-99% of the protection. If you are unsure about which vaccination coverage to have, you can get the information on the Folkhälsomyndighetens web-site.

It's loud, but it is, nevertheless, a number of the thousands of children who are not vaccinated before the age of two each year. There are always going to be people who don't believe in, or want to learn science, says Mrs. Benjamin. But all of the parents who fail to vaccinate their children to do what they think is best for the child. It is important that the authority recognises the concerns that exist, and that we are well aware that their parents are avoiding the vaccine out of concern for the child. Many people are afraid of the side effects. Second, in order to get gelatin, which comes from a pig. In the uk we have access to the vaccine without gelatin. Other people believe that the MMR vaccines contain aluminum and mercury, which they don't. A certain amount of anxiety can also be related to the vaccination during an influenza pandemic in 2009 led to an increase in the disorder narcolepsy in children in Sweden. But, on the basis of the conclusion that all vaccines are dangerous is wrong. A great deal of concern around the MMR vaccine, is based on a misunderstanding. Sometimes it is said that it is unfair to ignore the vaccine, and that it is everyone's duty and a social responsibility to vaccinate their children. If you can get the vaccine so that the disease is likely to spread. However, when it is your child needs to become infected first and that, in turn, will be able to infect other people. Also, for the sake of their own children should be vaccinated for it. Recent outbreak in Gothenburg, sweden, The last major outbreak in Sweden occurred in January in Gothenburg, sweden, when 28 people were infected. A portion of the cases, mainly medical staff, were vaccinated. The vaccine provides, as I said, no hundred per cent protection. And the health workers who were infected were very close to the people, and it was very, very sick.

Of work (approximately 300 hours per month) as a manual harvester kalafiorowo- -kapuścianego, almost without sleep, she recalls how a tough lesson of life that taught him self-reliance, perseverance and perseverance. — It allowed me to monitor the organization of work on the mythical West. Thanks kominom, and even more kalafiorom, I earned at create Group AB — says Andrey Arrived. Business idea — as is often the case — there are, by the way. In his case, by the way, writing a thesis. He wrote it on the ZX Spectrum computer. — It was in 1988. The days when the ZX Spectrum was closed, after finishing work on the key in the closet tank. Not enough for everything from computers, small accessories. Slowly growing, the demand for floppy box. The market underwent the transformation. Now say I have been easy. May was the wild East, but it was also the so-called hole with cheese. Then there were some holes, no cheese. Who was this cheese won. To sell in any quantity. I put it on floppy, — says Andrey Arrived. If the market was not a problem, as he was with everything else. The lack of road infrastructure, the telephone. Provides no forwarding or logistics. Success was somewhere on the phone. — I studied in Wroclaw with chips in pockets and okupowałem working phone booth. So I organized the product, — says Andrey Arrived. It all started with receiving floppy disks. Needed a place for firm and storage. Fell on the room in the hostel. It was the cheapest. Thus was created the company AB, which in 1991. implemented their first million dollar turnover. — It was a terrible place: 30 sq. m. each, with 40 roaches. Today I joke that these stubborn creatures I have in the first Secretary. She didn't want to work in their namolnym of the company, — says Andrey Arrived. Did a break in on the breaking of hearts. But the advantage of low rents won. The downside? It was supposed to be a warehouse, and the building was rented on the first floor. Delivery was a horror. I love to make people strong. Customs is capable of installing packages through the window, joked Andrew Arrived. Vendors called them ""Abnormalni"". Well, because, how? Warehouse on the ground floor? The orders grew. AB wynajęło another room on the ground floor Wroclaw ""working"", in a short time become a tenant of the whole floor. — And all living on it prusaków — adds Andrew Arrived. Recipients of AB was mainly exchange and trade on the bed. Stores was not. From street trading pioneers AB has learned the most. — Oh, Yes demanding customers even today it is difficult. Demanded of a particular product yesterday and inexpensively. Then I learned to listen to people and respond to changing expectations. They often podpowiadali us what to translate, — says Andrey Arrived. In 1992 the AB team did you choose at the CEBIT exhibition in Hanover. The turning point, because she came back with a contract on exclusive distribution of Polaroid filters. — On my face, I'm dressed in double-breasted jacket. I took a great portfolio. Today I joke that we got this Polaroid because I looked like an agent of Eastern services, he says, with disbelief, Andrew Arrived. In 1993, the momentum AB made 6 million UAH. The magazine ""always on"" it Quickly became clear that the needs far exceed the capabilities of storage in the Dorm. The company moved to Krakowska street. Since 1994. possessed a much higher surface area (640 sq. m. offices). Turnover in the year of the move amounted to 16 million DOLLARS, and the founder of the company was confident that this target journal. All and retired. — I remember very well those times, not only because of the spontaneous events that take place in the company after hours, but also because we were not a Corporation. AB it was a close-knit team for work and for entertainment. Many people from those times still working in the company, — says Andrey Arrived. The company has been growing. There is still a contract distribution. Not only accessories, but also the equipment. Three years after moving into the vault ""always"" the first signs of narrow-mindedness. In 1997, the company bought the facility in St. Kościerzyńskiej, all 1,5 thousand sq m of offices and warehouses. — It will be forever! I was sure of it. Don't get out of here, — laughs Andrey Arrived. There appeared no luck. July 1997. During the repair there was a flood. In the newly renovated warehouse was in 2.5 m of water. Fortunately, the goods were (were not even moved from the previous headquarters). The water was gone, but only after two weeks and there is another problem: recently purchased and renovated building should be demolished. To your account. It was the first specter of bankruptcy. Fortunately, after re-ekspertyzach the building survived. Despite reinvesting all profits, the company needs more money for further development. Andrew came reflected from the door once banks. After many years of work and dynamic development, nobody would give us credit. Such were the realities. And I knew this was the moment where I win due to the greater depth of the support, — says Andrey Arrived. The AB team began to look for funds. The company entered the Enterprise Investors. Estimated it at 15 million us DOLLARS on doinwestowaniu 6.8 mln. Today, the founder of AB claims that it saved him from the troubles caused by the subsequent price war in the distribution market (from 200 companies had a few) and learned to count. The company has a financial Director. AB slowly became a Corporation. — We could forget about being early to work, always in shirts. There are already suits — says Andrew Arrived. In 2000 was launched the web platform pioneer AB and the possibility of online shopping. Today automatic order up to 90%. of rotation AB, and the company is a market leader in e-Commerce solutions, creating added value thanks to modern technology. Came as a subsequent agreement of distribution, including Intel, HP, Microsoft. In 2006. AB made its debut on the Stock Exchange in Warsaw. The company has got about 15 million rubles for the development. The Foundation of the company disappeared, and the user understands that Poland is too little. Some providers were looking for more scale. Pala the decision of the first foreign gathering — Czech-Slovak company ATKH joined the Group AB. Negotiations lasted a year. Stayed a total of about 110 million rubles, which came from issue of shares on the stock exchange, indicates Andrew Arrived. Group AB became the largest distributor in the region of CENTRAL and Eastern Europe. Two years later, this giant stood in front of the need to overcome the tight bend. Turn drawn of Lehman Brothers. — It's possible to be in great shape to die for his innocence. Banks began to pull the money where they could. They say the Treaty, regulations for the refund of working capital. We managed, but temporarily had to severely limit supplies. It taught me even more precautions — kwituje Andrew Arrived. Battle on the shafts the next Two years-the development and subsequent agreement. Including Apple, which the Group AB is the largest distributor in the region. The launch of sales of ELECTRONICS and home APPLIANCES. In 2010. there was, however, a Ghost strong bending. Wet. The second flood in Wroclaw. Differences: after the warehouse expansion in 2009. (8 thousand sq. m.) of the full product, installed at the expense of tens of millions of rubles automation warehouse, and the wave was approaching. — The moment I remember as the worst in the history of the company, — stressed the head of the Group AB. Memory of previous floods had led to the fact that Andrew Arrived pale, especially that for 13 years nothing was done with feralną Łaniewska Dam — flooding of the Northern part of Wroclaw, including repair magazine. Urgently from Warsaw arrived specialized team. Built the control cabinets for automation of the warehouse on the columns 1.5 meters above floor level. And a thought: because the control cables in the floor! — If then the water came, AB could now not be. We could run the log, probably only half a year, which would mean our final end,"" says the businessman. The company rushed to the ramparts. We had to work, and did not get sufficient support from the relevant emergency services. You buy sand and bags, saving the day with their hands and we were forced to manage it. For two days no one was in the office. We all work on trees, including my 14-year-old then son. We have to protect the company thanks to the determination and commitment of all employees of AB. It was extremely instructive, — says Andrey Arrived. Nadodrzański the warehouse exploded, however, at the seams. Continued intense search for new headquarters. The company acquired 15 hectares near Wroclaw. This time was already available maps of flooding. In Magnito we never have to worry about Measles — offers Andrew Arrived.

During this time he has recorded a small number of cases of measles (total of 28 cases) in children from Roma communities have a foreign nationality and persons with recent travel to endemic countries. Within the 2019 there was no death from measles in our country. Central point of the strategy for prevention of measles is the systematic vaccination, which combined with the epidemiological surveillance of the disease are the most appropriate measures to control the disease. In this context, it is necessary for the continued vigilance of local and national authorities and of health professionals, for the continuation of the systematic implementation of vaccination against measles in both the general population and in pockets of the population with low vaccination coverage.",52,"greece"
"582","In the first nine months of the year, 397 cases of measles have been identified in Belgium, compared to 117 over the entire 2018, reports Friday's Echo. “Belgium is so far from achieving the objectives of the WHO (world health Organization) for the elimination of measles. Goals that are of less than one case per million inhabitants,” said Dr. Monalisa Zampieri (ULB/Saint-Pierre Hospital, Brussels), who is completing a dissertation at the end of specialization in pediatrics on the topic. Yet, the belgian national action plan for measles elimination, renewed in 2016, aims to rid the country of this disease by 2020, she says. The vaccination rates too low in the country is pointing the finger. It could be argued that Belgium lose its status of “countries in transition” towards the elimination of measles, conferred by the WHO in 2018. While a rate of 95% must be achieved for this disease, the Belgium is below this standard. Flanders reached a coverage rate of 93.4%. In Brussels, this rate drops to 76,4%, and in Wallonia, it only rises to 70.1 per cent (figures for 2017). For Wallonia, a contagion of anti-vaccine in France could be one of the explanations, according to Dr. Zampieri. Belga",51,"belgium"
"2645","Last Wednesday, the minister of health, Agnes Buzin, has asked ""to all the people who are not vaccinated or who have not vaccinated their children, to make a"" catch-up "", to stem the epidemic of measles, which is already a death at Poitiers. Professor Olivier Saint-Lary, vice-president of the CNGE (national College of general practitioners, teachers), says the measles outbreak by two factors : ""the reluctance to vaccination in a portion of the population today,"" and the fact that from 1983 to 1997, the recommendation was that a single injection of vaccine, as we later realized that there had to be two : ""It is known that a single injection does not cover enough for the measles, ( ... ) The challenge (...) it is to redo a second dose, in people who have had one dose at the time, "" he said. ""It is a pity, in 2018, to die of measles,"" laments Marie-Laure Alby, general practitioner, member of the union MG France. ""Now, in all my consultations, I say [to patients] :' You've checked ? You are well-vaccinated against measles ? It is important "". However, I do not believe in the messages of terror. This is not useful. It is necessary to appeal to the intelligence of the people. ""Bernard Jomier, senator (related PS) of Paris, a member of the committee on social affairs, is also in favour of a health policy based on the pedagogy :"" It must be remembered that there has been a large national consensus on vaccination in 2016, which was initiated by (...) Marisol Touraine, which has given rise to a report to be very rich, which pointed to the need to return to a vaccination requirement, the most diverse, transient (...) But who checks that we need to explain, that it is necessary to be transparent (...), listening (...). Deliver a complete information, not hide it (...) side effects of vaccines (...) It is under the conditions of this work, pedagogy, public, shared, and not of authoritarian decisions, we get[a] to improve the immunization coverage. ""And add :"" It should be called clearly, Agnes Buzin has reason, to vaccination of all the world against the measles. But if we want to get to eradication, that is to say, 95% of the population vaccinated, it will take something other than this new vaccination requirement, I have actually voted (...) but that will be insufficient. ""Olivier Saint-Lary, concurs :"" The obligation may release the word of anti-vaccine and that is what we are witnessing today. ""After having recalled that the measles is"" extremely contagious "", that "" a person can infect 18 or 20 "", Patrick Zylberman, professor emeritus of the history of the health at the school of high studies in public health, analyzes the reasons of vaccination coverage not sufficient, in France : ""We are coming out of a period of thirty years, roughly, where the public authorities (...) said nothing, did nothing. We can't ask our fellow citizens to move, if the public authorities themselves, remain silent (...) there is the need of the public voice which is absolutely vital on an educational method. ""As to the distrust of the French in respect of the compulsory vaccination, which we hear so much, Marie-Laure Alby, as a general practitioner, there is very few faces in his cabinet :"" It is very rare that people, finally, do not accept the vaccine. ""But she does not minimize, however, because vaccination is an act that is not an act of care. "". ""It is an act that is done under the assumption that one might become sick. This is not natural (...) It is normal that everyone asks questions, "" she adds. You can see the debate in its entirety :",51,"france"

She would have already killed at least 35 people in the 53 countries of the European region of WHO, of which 31 are in Romania alone. ""We are very concerned about the fact that, despite the availability of an effective and affordable vaccine, measles remains a leading cause of infant mortality in the world, expresses Zsuzsanna Jakab in a press release published this Tuesday. And, unfortunately, Europe is not spared. ""Even in the richest Belgium, Germany, Poland, Romania, but also in Switzerland, Ukraine, the United Kingdom and especially Italy are concerned. Moreover, it is among our neighbours italians that the last death occurred. While the vaccination coverage of children under two years of age is falling – it is only 85 %, whereas it should exceed 95 % to prevent any risk of epidemic, the measles would have already affected more than 3 300 people. In France, 295 cases were reported between 1 January and 31 may 2017. It is already three times more than the entire year 2016, during which only 93 people had been affected.

In an interview on Wednesday at Libérartion, the minister of Health, Agnes Buzyn, reminds us of the importance of vaccination of children. ""We have children who die because they have not been vaccinated. Is this normal that we have had 255 meningitis extremely serious that caused the death of 29 children in the past four years ?

In fact, two-thirds of patients of 2017 were not immunized against the disease. Only 8% of them had received two doses of vaccine required, according to data from public Health in France published on February 13. The minister of Health encourages the ""catch-up"" : ""I really take to people who are not vaccinated or who have not vaccinated their children to do a catch-up today because, particularly in some regions of France, the coverage is around 70 %, this is the case in the South-West. It is totally insufficient to prevent an epidemic to emerge "". Note that to stop the spread of measles, the goal is to reach 95 % of vaccinees. This objective relates primarily to children, adolescents, parents of young children, but also the health professionals likely to approach the sick. For its part, the High authority of health recommends vaccinating all individuals over six months who have been in contact with patient, within 72 hours, in order to prevent the risk of contagion. In 2017, the median age of patients with measles was 14 years of age, the highest incidence being in infants less than 1 year.

The Figures show two things: The poor vaccination Coverage against measles favors local outbreaks and the disease is extremely contagious. A non-immunized Person with measles comes ill be in contact, put it on with a probability of more than 90 percent. Why this is so, and Veronika von Messling from the Paul investigated-Ehrlich-Institut and your Team in an animal model and in the ""Journal of Virology"" is presented. Since the measles infect only specific people had to rely on the scientists the infectious canine distemper virus, like the measles to the so-called morbilli virus. Thus, the researchers infected ferrets, which can contract the dog distemper. Known to have measles have to dock in the host to two different cell receptors, if you want to infect and multiply. After infection, the Virus depends thus only on immune cells, where it is further propagated. Then, the excitation of specifically binding to the second Receptor, found on cells in the respiratory tract. By cough and mucous secretions, they are distributed from there in the environment and can infect other people. It was unclear, however, whether the Virus actually has to occupy both of these cell receptors to be able to spread successfully. Therefore, infected by Messling and Co the ferrets with different canine distemper strains. As expected, the animals were infected, who came with the natural canine distemper virus in contact, and diseased. In consequence of diseased animals transferred already the Virus most efficiently. It was a different picture, however, in the case of genetically modified viruses: they could only occupy a Receptor, and spread, then, just very slowly, and in individual cases. Also, none became ill from these animals. Only by the double approach can reproduce the morbilli virus so successful and spread. This may allow new therapeutic approaches, scientists hope. Nevertheless, vaccination remains the best protection against the disease: a vaccination Coverage of 93 percent, it is ensured that the herd protection also preserves newborn babies or people who can't be vaccinated because of other health restrictions, before a measles infection in the majority of cases.",51,"germany"

From the moment they pick it up easy for those who are not immunized against polio than any other communicable disease,” said Mike Catchpole. “The most important thing is to make sure that all of the population took the vaccine in the Uk. We see that you have achieved a good level of immunity, but in a lot of countries, it is also a small group who are not bcg vaccinated, and that increase is that the disease spreads quickly”, says the scientist-in-chief. On their website, the ECDC says the only way to prevent disease, disability, and death due to illnesses that can be prevented by vaccination, that is through vaccination and thorough, and timely manner. “It's disturbing to watch the build-up of individuals who are not vaccinated and, therefore, the outbreaks of measles in various countries in europe over the past few months,” noted Andrea Ammon, head of the European Centre for disease Prevention and Control of Diseases. In the first two months of the year 2017, have been reported 1.524 cases of measles in 14 european countries. And the disease does not only affect children and adults alike. And this is precisely one of the points that is of concern to the european health authorities. Andrea Ammon points out that one of the major challenges to achieving the goal of elimination of measles in Europe is “a very high proportion of cases were observed in the oldest age groups. By 2016, 28% of the cases of measles have more than 20 years of age. In the Uk, between the 1st of January and the 24th of April have been reported in 87 cases of measles.

Officials from the World Health Organization has ranked the measles as a state of emergency to level 2, on a scale of 3. In 12 countries, including the Usa and england, where the disease is endemic, were added to the other four countries (Albania, Czech Republic, Greece and the United Kingdom), the WHO was accused of having lost the battle with the chicken pox. A disease declared eradicated in the country for a year, I don't for a case. In the Czech republic there were, in the first seven months of this year to 2019, but not more than 570 cases, while in the United Kingdom and Albania-close to 500. The vaccination is free of charge, and supported by, the health care system in these countries. At the level of the whole of Europe-not later than 1 July 2019, have been registered 90,000 cases of measles, a viral infection that can be extremely dangerous, which can cause death which is manifested by a cough, a rash and a fever. Throughout the year of 2018, and in Europe they have been recorded 84,000 cases. Out of the four people who got measles, one does need to be hospitalized, and one out of 1,000 patients it is fatal. Also, about 60% of all diseases, it is the young who have not attained 19 years of age. According to the WHO, in this situation, it is the number of vaccinations, in part because of the fear of the people, that the vaccines could be harmful, in spite of the overwhelming evidence that contradicts these concerns. In France and Germany, countries where measles is endemic, the vaccination will be mandatory as of march 2020. In the Usa, where vaccination against measles is free of charge, but not compulsory, up to august 23, 2019 was confirmed 18.145 cases of measles, one of the 64 deaths, according to the National Center for Surveillance and Control of Communicable Diseases. At the global level, most of the cases of measles have been recorded in Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Georgia and Russia. These states are aggregated up to 78% of the cases registered up to July 1, 2019.

Although the problem lies in the people who are not able to confirm if you are or are not immunized and do not want to take two doses of the serum if they were vaccinated when they were due. In these cases, you have two possibilities. For a side, ask for a visit with the doctor and he prescribes a blood test to know if you are immunized.

"33514","Spokespeople available  25 April 2019 – An estimated 169 million children missed out on the first dose of the measles vaccine between 2010 and 2017, or 21.1 million children a year on average, UNICEF said today.  Widening pockets of unvaccinated children have created a pathway to the measles outbreaks hitting several countries around the world today.  “The ground for the global measles outbreaks we are witnessing today was laid years ago,” said Henrietta Fore, UNICEF Executive Director. “The measles virus will always find unvaccinated children. If we are serious about averting the spread of this dangerous but preventable disease, we need to vaccinate every child, in rich and poor countries alike.”  In the first three months of 2019, more than 110,000 measles cases were reported worldwide – up nearly 300 per cent from the same period last year. An estimated 110,000 people, most of them children, died from measles in 2017, a 22 per cent increase from the year before.  Two doses of the measles vaccine are essential to protect children from the disease. However, due to lack of access, poor health systems, complacency, and in some cases fear or skepticism about vaccines, the global coverage of the first dose of the measles vaccine was reported at 85 per cent in 2017, a figure that has remained relatively constant over the last decade despite population growth. Global coverage for the second dose is much lower, at 67 per cent. The World Health Organization recommends a threshold of 95 per cent immunization coverage to achieve so-called ‘herd immunity’.  In high income countries, while coverage with the first dose is 94 per cent, coverage for the second dose drops to 91 per cent, according to the latest data.  The United States tops the list of high-income countries with the most children not receiving the first dose of the vaccine between 2010 and 2017, at more than 2.5 million. It is followed by France and the United Kingdom, with over 600,000 and 500,000 unvaccinated infants, respectively, during the same period.  In low- and middle-income countries, the situation is critical. In 2017, for example, Nigeria had the highest number of children under one year of age who missed out on the first dose, at nearly 4 million. It was followed by India (2.9 million), Pakistan and Indonesia (1.2 million each), and Ethiopia (1.1 million).  Worldwide coverage levels of the second dose of the measles vaccines are even more alarming. Of the top 20 countries with the largest number of unvaccinated children in 2017, 9 have not introduced the second dose. Twenty-countries in sub-Saharan Africa have not introduced the necessary second dose in the national vaccination schedule, putting over 17 million infants a year at higher risk of measles during their childhood.  UNICEF, with partners such as the Measles and Rubella Initiative and Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, is helping address this measles crisis by:  Negotiating vaccine prices: the cost of the measles vaccine is now at an all-time low;  Helping countries identify underserved areas and unreached children;  Procuring vaccines and other immunization supplies;  Supporting supplementary vaccination campaigns to address gaps in routine immunization coverage;  Working with relevant countries to introduce the second dose of the measles vaccine in the national immunization schedule. Cameroon, Liberia and Nigeria are on track to do so in 2019.  Introducing innovations like the use of solar power and mobile technologies to maintain vaccines at the right temperature.  “Measles is far too contagious,” said Fore. “It is critical not only to increase coverage but also to sustain vaccination rates at the right doses to create an umbrella of immunity for everyone.”  For more information, please contact:    Unicef UK Media Team, 0207 375 6030, media@unicef.org.uk  Morwenna Darby, 0207 375 6124, MorwennaD@unicef.org.uk  Download photos and broll here.

"2662","Measles would have a deleterious effect on the immune system by affecting its ability to remember infections that it has already encountered, according to a new study. An effect that would explain some of the complications related to the virus. The effects of the measles would be more dangerous than the scientists thought up to now ? According to researchers in virology and genetics from the american university of Harvard and the institute Erasmus in the netherlands, this virus attacks the immune system by erasing his memory. They publish their work on November 1, 2019 in the journal Science. Also read : Measles : are you protected ? Immune memory, scientists have started from the observation that measles was associated with high morbidity and increased mortality, even years after the infection. To understand this effect, they have used the health data of 77 children Dutch contaminated with the measles during the epidemic of 2013 and a hundred people not contaminated. Among infected children, the researchers compared blood samples collected before the outbreak, and two months after the infection thanks to a new tool called VirScan. This analysis technique identifies all the viruses that have already infected a body and how the immune system remembers. In fact, when the immune system encounters a virus, it creates and maintains antibodies(1) specific to this virus which will allow it to recognize and eliminate it quickly in the event of new contamination. It is the mechanism of immune memory. Up to 73% of the antibodies destroyed but analysis of the researchers showed that the measles eliminated between 11 and 73% of the antibody memory in the children tested. On average, infected children were losing 20% of their immune memory and 16% of the children lost more than 40% of their antibody. In people who had not contracted measles, the immune changes were ""limited"", according to the authors of the publication. Immunity as naive as that of the new-born Consequences for the patients : they are almost as vulnerable to the pathogen as a new-born. The measles ""reset your immune system and return you to a more naive state"", explains to the AFP, the epidemiologist Michael Mina, of Harvard, co-author of the study. To return to a high level of antibodies and rebuild their defenses, ""they need to be reinfected by pathogens, such as new-born babies, which take a lot of risks in the first years of their life,"" says Michael Mina. A negative effect which further strengthens the usefulness of immunization against this virus. 100,000 deaths per year in the world The study, supported by tests on macaques, and by another analysis published October 31 in Science, Immunology, shows that the danger of measles, which has over seven million cases and 100,000 deaths per year in the world, exceeds, therefore, the only risks associated with the infection. ""The virus is far more deleterious than we thought, which makes the vaccine even more valuable"", told AFP Stephen Elledge, a geneticist who has developed with colleagues a tool VirScan. ---- (1) Antibodies : a substance of the defence made by the body when it is in contact with a pathogen.

"2718","In France, private schools for religious or spiritual are at the origin of the spread of measles that has experienced a peak in 2011, according to a study. Since November 2017, 2.567 cases of measles have been confirmed in France, and three people died since the beginning of the year 2018. This new outbreak appears in a context of distrust increased against vaccination, which is spreading in large part on the social networks. If you do not know, for the moment, the origin of this new epidemic, a study released march 22 by the doctor in geopolitics Lucie Guimier shows that the focus of the previous one, which had occurred between 2008 and 2012, was in a private school outside of the contract. For more information on the study of Lucy Guimier : ""Vaccination : the religious movements to the origin of the distrust anti-vaccine"" The Fraternity of Saint Pius X and anthroposophy pointed out In the study, entitled ""The resistance to vaccinations : a public health challenge to a society issue,"" published in the report 2016-2017 of the interministerial Mission of vigilance and fight against sectarian deviances (Miviludes), Lucy Guimier is interested in the measles epidemic of the late 2000s. Between 2008 and 2012, with more than 22,000 cases have been reported in France, of which 15,000 for the single year 2011. ""The epidemics are distributed through networks of unvaccinated populations because of their religious or philosophical beliefs"", explains the researcher. Two trends have caught his attention : the movement traditionalist catholic society of Saint Pius X and the spiritual movement of anthroposophy. These two communities, which have their own educational networks, are, in fact, fiercely opposed the vaccination of children, and the measles outbreak of 2008 – 2012 appears to be part of the areas in which they are embedded. As highlighted in the study of Lucia Guimier, an epidemiological investigation has resulted in the ""identify the patient zero of the infection. He is a student of swiss origin, partially vaccinated, during a family visit to Feldkirch (Austria) in April 2008, came into contact with a cousin that was infected with measles, he also enrolled in an institution affiliated to [the Fraternity of Saint Pius X]"". Source : Lucy Guimier According to the researcher, who has conducted a mapping of the epidemic through weekly epidemiological Bulletins, and information of the Cell of response region (responsible for monitoring the health status of the population outside the paris region), it ""has really spread from schools and summer camps of the Brotherhood of Saint Pius X"". For Lucy Guimier, ""the rapid dispersal of measles at the scale of kinship in the network of obedience lefebvrist result from any evidence of inadequate immunization coverage of the children of the community, deficiencies possibly linked to the spiritual aspirations of their family"". ""If you get vaccines, you're going to become weak,"" Lucy Guimier was also interested in anthroposophy, whose followers show themselves as a strong distrust of vaccination. The current manages more than 700 schools, Steiner-Waldorf in Europe and builds on a medical doctrine rather particular, that the health of men depends on a balance between the emotional, the spiritual, the mental and the physical. ""In anthroposophy, they want to ""leave "" nature"", explains Lucie Guimier. The researcher has analyzed the history of vaccine recent of the netherlands, one of the original lands of anthroposophy. ""In the spring of 2008, a measles outbreak is declared in a school anthroposophical [...] to The Hague (the netherlands). Out of the 34 children with, 31 are not vaccinated. Shortly after, an epidemic is established within a school other anthroposophic of the country, causing 16 cases. In both establishments, the rate of vaccination coverage is around 65%, when the national average reached 93%"", she says. Also read : ""Alert to sectarian aberrations in the field of health In France, anthroposophy maintains fifteen schools and has officially 1.250 members, and probably several thousands of followers and discrete. During its investigation, Lucy Guimier has collected the testimony of a father of a family who decided to withdraw his child from a school claiming to be of the philosophy of anthroposophical. ""In this environment, vaccination is seen as a weakness of the body : if you get vaccines, you're going to become weak ! Then you have to follow the same diet, the same lifestyle, and we have the same spirituality, as if it was a force,"" says the latter. Catholicism, traditionalist and anthroposophy therefore share the same distrust of the vaccination. ""For believers, the disease is a divine punishment. For non-believers, it is a necessary evil. For these two groups, it is a matter of spirituality, taken to the extreme,"" says Lucy Guimier. In addition, each of these movements has an implantation region specific, which corresponds to the geographical areas where the vaccination against measles is very low. But their ideology is anti-vaccine extends beyond their boundaries, and many health professionals worry that students in public and private schools under contract will not be affected. For Lucy Guimier, it is therefore necessary ""that the key institutions of the State must be vigilant to the spread of theories and practices vaccino-skeptics in their midst, such as, for example, to a public school, a place of socialization and promotion of living-together par excellence"". Since last January, the measles vaccine is required for children born on or after 2018. Two injections are necessary : one to 12 months of age, the other between 16 and 18 months. A measure is designed to counter the very low rate of coverage in French, which maxes out at 91% for the first dose and 79% for the second.",50,"france"

From 170 countries 112.000 infections were listed, reported to the WHO. A year earlier it had been during the same period, only well-to 28,000 cases. In Africa, the infection figures rose by 700 percent, in Europe at least 300 percent, especially in Eastern and southern Europe. So spectacular are the increases in the infection rates in Germany, thank God. But in the last few years, the health authorities, also be observed in Germany, that the measles were to occur again more frequently. The alarmed Doctors, kindergartens and policy. On the phone is Social - and health Minister of Baden-Württemberg, man Lucha. He is a member of Alliance 90/The Greens. The line of the provinces is not completely uniform. Do you want to check, for example, not to close, but the first initiatives of other Federal States, after a mandatory vaccination against measles, as a prerequisite for the kindergarten access at the moment. What are you waiting for? Man Lucha: do not plug in yet, might be wrong. I said, you can't exclude the possibility of mandatory vaccination. When we know how difficult the duties are to implement, because they involve a regulatory Instrument, then this is already a clear view or a clear message that I or we think we have in this country about the mandatory to implement. Angel: As you can see because of the practical hurdles to such a vaccination to actually implement? Lucha: It is quite clear that An obligation is accompanied by sanctions. If you do not vaccinate, how high the fine is, like sanctions, I kidney you? Of course, these are complex issues. I believe that the Good in the debate on the compulsory vaccination is to make those who are Impfmuffel that it is cheating, so to speak, verb, attention. It is a manifest Problem. We have, as of today, 59 of the cases. This is almost twice as much as the year before. Since we can't sit back, especially when we see how dramatically the curves can be. ""Pediatricians do a very good Job,"" angel: When you say sanctions will be difficult, the need to plan carefully, what is the role of because then the children of doctors, which are a Central Institution to ensure that children are vaccinated at the right age is also two-fold? Have you identified there may also be deficits in the children of doctors? Lucha: The children of doctors do a very good Job. We also see on the page, that the first vaccination has a very high rate. Unfortunately, in the case of the second, which is not a so-called refreshing, but actually an integral part that occurs later, we have gaps. That is, the is also the access to the children's doctors. Are already good, we can do even better. But what makes us now with the changes of the disease cases of great concern, is the age group this year, especially from 15 to 19. That is, here we actually have larger gaps we have to close also. Manfred Lucha, Minister of health in Baden-Württemberg (picture alliance / dpa / Sebastian Gollnow) angel: How shall this be done? Since we all come in the area of adult vaccination. Lucha: Exactly. We have a really great campaign, makes the Impfcheck, with Doctors, with insurance funds, social media. This is the one. The other – and that is now my approach – vaccination status check. We will now discuss in the next step, how we can actually write to all the people you can reach and say, look at your Impfheft, look, you're vaccinated, right? If we do not succeed now – and this is the second Track and I tend to actually do this, because you can see that there are consequences that take perhaps only years later, when we look at different disease curves, we say, in fact, mandatory vaccination, where children in the community earnings. That is, in fact, that we make sure that all the daycare centers and all the schools all the children and even the adults in the Rest of that run there, have a full protection. Then we come to a large piece, and are approaching the 95 per cent of the length. Angel: 95 percent, that says to discuss ... Lucha: 95 percent for the statement: The world health organization, we need an immunization Coverage of 95 percent, to ensure a sufficient protection for the population. ""Collective health protection over individual freedom right,"" angel: But if you are listening to them and just change the keyword for the adult vaccination, where in some vintages, and older vintages gaps exist, draws on, then one could also, if the other measures don't help, and the in-house doctors with their inspection requests, with regard to the vaccination status, are not making progress on a vaccination for adults against measles think. Go with you? Lucha: Yes, I'll go. – Again: I'm going at all. It must operationally be tradable. It must be feasible. I think we can. To me, it is, of course, prefer that we get on with the debate and our actions without obligations. We need to see – and we see it very early on",50,"germany"

The requirement of this vaccination is also extended to the national youth Agency: the lack of the trivalent may become a criterion for exclusion from the Erasmus programme. And, also, to sports clubs and competitions. I will discuss the Ministry of Health and the Ministries and relevant national Agencies. The national Plan has been transmitted to the Regions and, if they arrive in the observations, will be discussed in a technical meeting on march 12. One of the objectives reaffirmed in the document, to achieve and maintain a vaccination coverage greater than or equal to 95% for the first dose of vaccine against measles and rubella within the 24 months of life and the second dose at 5-6 years, at the national, regional and ASL. And greater than or equal to 90% in all the districts, through the use of the vaccine MPR or MPRV (which also allows the control of the mumps). You also want to promote initiatives in vaccine additional to increase vaccination coverage in adolescents and adults and in subjects at risk of all ages, in particular in health care workers, schools, military, groups ""hard to reach"" like nomads and some ethnic groups. Measles is not just annoying: it can be deadly. Scientific studies show that almost 30 out of every 100 children, who have less than five years and who contract measles should be hospitalized. If you are vaccinated, you are protected up to 95%. Among the objectives, also to reduce the percentage of women of childbearing age susceptible to rubella, to less than 5%, improve the reporting and management of cases and monitoring and evaluation of adverse events to the vaccine. And, again, improve the availability of scientific information on measles and rubella, to be spread among health professionals and among the population.

Apparently the girl was not vaccinated against the disease, nor the baby of 13 months that you got the infection. The family of the deceased understood that the suffering from psoriasis contraindicaba such immunization and preferred to opt for homeopathic treatments. As expected, this type of therapy proved useless, and the serious respiratory complications from the infection ended with his life. Upon learning about this case I came to mind another unfortunate case, the child of Olot of just 6 years who died at the Hospital Vall dHebron in Barcelona because of a box of diphtheria. It was also not vaccinated, in this case, because their parents had rejected this crucial preventative measure. Both are specific cases, merely anecdotal if it were not that have occurred in the XXI century, and also because they were perfectly avoidable.

In addition, experts believe that the early age at which this vaccine given (between 12 and 15 months) are not diagnosed cases of psoriasis with enough clinical entity. The measles vaccine is part of the well-known “triple viral”, to apply jointly against mumps and rubella.

The epidemic stops again in evidence the shortcomings of a system that was seen at the limit as a result of ebola. The virulence of this epidemic forced to allocate the majority of resources to combat this disease and the fear of contagion was such that many people chose to stay away from medical facilities. A year ago, the guinean authorities, organized a national campaign of vaccination to protect children who had not been immunized in this period, but despite the efforts the 8 of February was ended by declaring the epidemic of measles. The representative of MSF in the african country, Ibrahim Diallo, has lamented in a statement that the fact that this epidemic is this only a year after the mass campaign ""is a worrying sign of the weakness of the health system of the country.""

The measles vaccine is included in mmr -along with mumps and rubella - which is administered to babies for the first time to meet the 12 months, so that before this age children are not immunized against this contagious disease, whose complications can be serious and even fatal. In statements to Efe, the secretary's Advisory Committee on Vaccines of the Spanish Paediatrics Association (AEP), Francisco José Alvarez, has recommended that all children between 6 months and a year traveling to these countries to attend to your pediatrician to advance the administration of the vaccine. ""Now in Europe we have a epidemión of measles terrible"", which affects countries that tend to be holiday destination chosen by many Spanish families so that, ""if it is strictly necessary to travel to those places"" with children under 1 year of age and older 6 months-before you can not administer the vaccine- ""it is recommended to advance the triple viral"".

The measles is not the only vaccine that must take into account the parents who want to travel abroad with their children under the age of 3 years. In the case of visiting countries outside of Europe or the US, Álvarez, recommended to visit between one and two months before the trip to the pediatrician and a Center of International Vaccination, where parents can receive information about the vaccines that should be administered to minors. Thus, the hepatitis A vaccine -that is not included in the vaccination calendar in Spanish - is required for travel to all countries that are not in the Western Europe, the area of Japan and Korea, Australia and the USA, and you can put it after a year.

Massive campaign With the intention of contain the outbreak in April, the health authorities launched last week a mass immunization campaign in Manila, where they have already been vaccinated 130,000 children of the 450,000 estimated need. Across the country, it is estimated that about 2.6 million children are not properly immunized by the loss of confidence in vaccines, so the campaign will also be carried to other provinces. ""Little by little, the faith in the vaccines you are returning. The only response to the outbreak is immunization,"" said Monday to the media, the Health secretary, Francisco Duque. The authorities have also launched a strong information campaign to restore the public's confidence in vaccines, which has the support of well-known figures such as the popular senator and boxer Manny Paquiao.

"33314","Europe is now under the microscope as the easily preventable disease Measles makes a comeback on the continent. Previously, measles has been an eminently treatable disease as the effective MMR (Measles, Mumps and Rubella) vaccine has been developed. Most children are vaccinated in their first months since being born, but more and more people are opting against it, leading the disease to return. Vaccinations are being rejected at a time when they are most needed, and many are choosing not to on the advice of discredited science.  Why are people rejecting vaccines? Vaccines, despite being a vital part of protecting world health, are being rejected on the pretence of one article linking them to autism. A 1998 study by Dr Andrew Wakefield linked the MMR with developmental disorder autism, later published in medical journal The Lancet. The link has been widely discredited by doctors and the medical community, and Dr Wakefield’s status as a doctor has since been revoked. Studies in the years following have found no link at all between the disease and the onset of autism - a non life-threatening and often mild disorder.  Measles Europe outbreak 2018: Why you should vaccinate  What is the impact of measles in Europe? This year, over 41,000 people in the World Health Organisation European region have been infected with measles in the six months since 2018 began. Each of the countries in which measles has taken hold have seen deaths as a result, with 14 total deaths in France, Georgia, Greece, Italy, the Russian Federation, Serbia and Ukraine. The European Regional Verification Commission for Measles and Rubella Elimination (RVC) has stated concern over poor disease surveillance and low immunisation coverage over a number of countries. WHO has also stated that vaccinations will save lives, and could one day eliminate the spread of deadly diseases Measles, Mumps and Rubella.  Measles vaccination comes in the form of the MMR  Why should you vaccinate? The European Vaccine Action Plan (EVAP) is in place to aid elimination and control of vaccine preventable diseases in EU member states. Widespread vaccination can lead to something called ‘herd immunity’ where people are protected from disease, and prevent its spread to people unable to receive vaccinations. Those who cannot receive vaccinations are often very young or have compromised immune systems, meaning they are at risk of death should a disease resurge. Vaccinations in the general population are important for protecting the lives of both yourselves and those around you.  There is no sound link between the measles vaccination and autism  Signs and symptoms of the measles Tue, April 4, 2017 Measles - a contagious virus with the potential to cause serious illness and even death - is spreading around Europe and experts from the World Health Organisation said people who haven’t had the vaccine are at risk.

"33714","The statistics, published today, reveal an explosion in the number of cases of measles throughout Europe, which has seen more than 41,000 children and adults infected in the first six months of 2018 alone. And the WHO has taken the opportunity to sound a stark warning abut the importance of immunisation. The numbers far exceed the yearly totals for every other year this decade, and monthly country reports suggest that at least 37 people in the WHO's European Region have died from the illness in 2018. So far, the highest annual total for measles cases between 2010 and 2017 was 23,927 for 2017 - but if the rate of infections stays the same for the rest of the year, by the end of 2018, the total will be more than three times that of last year.  In the UK, there were 760 cases in the first six months of 2018, compared with 187 in the last six months of 2017. Dr Zsuzsanna Jakab, WHO Regional Director for Europe: “Following the decade’s lowest number of cases in 2016, we are seeing a dramatic increase in infections and extended outbreaks “We call on all countries to immediately implement broad, context-appropriate measures to stop further spread of this disease. “Good health for all starts with immunisation, and as long as this disease is not eliminated we are failing to live up to our Sustainable Development Goal commitments.”  The statistics reveal an explosion in the number of cases of measles throughout Europe  Seven countries in the Region have seen more 1,000 infections in children and adults this year (France, Georgia, Greece, Italy, the Russian Federation, Serbia and Ukraine). In Ukraine, in excess of 23,000 people affected, accounting for over half of the regional total. Measles-related deaths have been reported in all of these countries, with Serbia reporting the highest number of 14. According to the latest assessment by the European Regional Verification Commission (RVC) for Measles and Rubella Elimination (RVC), published today, 43 of the Region’s In total 53 Member States have interrupted the endemic spread of measles and 42 have interrupted rubella, commonly referred to as German measles.  However, the RVC voiced concern about inadequate disease surveillance and low immunisation coverage in some countries. It also concluded that chains of measles transmission continued for more than 12 months in some countries that had interrupted the endemic spread of the disease, reverting their status back to endemic. Dr Nedret Emiroglu, Director of the Division of Health Emergencies and Communicable Diseases at the WHO Regional Office for Europe, explained: “This partial setback demonstrates that every person who is not immune remains vulnerable no matter where they live, and every country must keep pushing to increase coverage and close immunity gaps, even after achieving interrupted or eliminated status.” The measles virus is exceptionally contagious and spreads easily among susceptible individuals. To prevent outbreaks, at least 95 percent immunisation coverage with two doses of measles-containing vaccine are required every year in every community, as combined with efforts to reach children, adolescents and adults who missed routine vaccination in the past.  Most British people are immune to the disease thanks to a national programme of vaccinations  While immunisation coverage with two doses of measles-containing vaccine increased from 88 percent of eligible children in the Region in 2016 to 90 percent in 2017, large disparities persist at local level: some communities report over 95 percent coverage, and others below 70 percent. Dr Jakab said: “At this midterm juncture for the European Vaccine Action Plan, we must celebrate our achievements while not losing sight of those who are still vulnerable and whose protection requires our urgent and ongoing attention. “We can stop this deadly disease. But we will not succeed unless everyone plays their part: to immunise their children, themselves, their patients, their populations – and also to remind others that vaccination saves lives.” Public Health England (PHE) last month issued a warning to millennial to check whether they had been inoculated after it was revealed that a total of 643 cases have been diagnosed since the start of 2018, with many more reported on the continent.

But progress has stalled, with outbreaks of the disease currently raging in countries as diverse as the United States and Madagascar.  Between 2017 and 2018 the number of measles cases globally more than doubled, with every region in the world witnessing an increase. According to the World Health Organization there were just over 307,000 cases of measles in 2018, compared to around 137,000 in 2017.  But these numbers are likely to be a huge underestimate, says Katrina Kretsinger, medical officer for measles and rubella at the WHO.  “We estimate that fewer than 10 per cent of the actual measles cases are reported and it can be as low as three per cent. In some regions where there is good surveillance such as Europe this may represent closer to the actual number but we’re not sure,” she said.  WHO doesn’t yet have any confirmed figures for 2019 but Dr Kretsinger is confident that the upward trend will continue.",50,"uk"

"3969","Right and wrong, an outbreak of measles forced vaccination: Federal health Minister Jens Spahn wants to introduce a compulsory vaccination for certain diseases – by law change. The topic is so widely discussed in the Bundestag and treated, is highly emotional and controversial: From a legal point of view, in the case of measles, the vaccination is with clear demands to the legislature, and restrictions – quite justifiable, also from an ethical and moral point of view, with a view to solidarity behavior. From a medical point of view, it is highly controversial, a compulsory vaccination should be introduced. This is the conclusion of a highly interesting round table discussion with experts, organized by the centre for medical law, faculty of law. The children's doctor and a committed opponent of compulsory vaccination, but not of vaccinations, Dr. Steffen Rabe from München-Pasing to fear or at least massive ""intervention in his activities as a doctor who is also a person of trust"", if the statutory mandatory vaccination should be prescribed. Interventions, ""he does not want to experience actually"". Children's doctor, however, is For Steffen Rabe a Impfverpflichtung is not justified: In Germany you reach a vaccination coverage rate of 97 percent for the first vaccination and 93 percent for the second vaccination. In countries with compulsory vaccination, there have been, but at such a high Durchimpfungsqoute no improvements. ""Increases were seen only in countries and regions where there were significantly lower rates of vaccination.""

Had to think of the legislators, but also on regional differences. Ethical The there is also in Germany, such as the theologian and medical bioethicist Prof. Dr. Kerstin Schlögl-Flierl from the University of Augsburg says. Therefore, regional measures should be to increase the vaccination rates considered. For you compulsory vaccinations are in order, if you have a risk provision is made, when people are protected from diseases and death. A single vaccination is missing, But It is also the single vaccinations should be possible and not the 3 - or even 4-way vaccinations, which are always administered in the package, such as a lawyer, Thiele says. He also sees aspects of moral action in dealing with the issue of forced vaccination: He wants simple, that even enemies, when it comes to mandatory vaccination by law – would be where touching the same three basic rights – including the opponent may accept the scheme. This was solidarity. Hard-Thiele argues, however, when it comes to a scheduled fine for Impfverweigerer. This is not a punishment, but an administrative offense. And Legal obligations, without street its a weak weapon. No success due to pressure Because of the child's doctor Raven frowns: With print, you get nothing at all. ""We need more information, more Knowledge about the Vaccination, with better results."" Today it was mostly adults that were not Vaccinated. ""The Figures show an increase in the proportion of adult measles Patients."" Children in Germany fall ill more frequently. But Jens Spahn transported so. Measles is not frequent, ""It is not true that the number of Masererkrankungen in Germany is on the rise."" Polemics in the game. And the debate does not do well.

According to Moreno “the current risk in Spain is very low, although not zero. The high coverage vaccine in the childhood (over 95%) do that there is little circulation of the virus in the community. However, there are groups of population that are not vaccinated or have passed the disease, so that they are exposed to suffer from the disease and its complications if they become infected.

[image id=""89329"" data-caption="""" share=""true"" expand=""true"" size=""S""] ""Yes it is true – it continues to Brown by e-mail – that there is a percentage of children is less than 5%, not vaccinated, they are at risk. In some cases it is because they can't get vaccinated due to a contraindication of a medical, but at other times it is by the decision of their caregivers. In adults it is known that this percentage is higher, since the vaccination with mmr in children began over 70 years in Spain, and of somewhat unequal and asynchronous communities. This makes that once in a while, there is any outbreak in Spain. Specifically, in Barcelona there has been a small outbreak (much, much smaller than the current Italy and countries of Eastern Europe), in the majority of cases have occurred in adults not vaccinated. Measles is an acute disease characterized by fever, cough, runny nose, conjunctivitis and the typical spots on the skin that manifest themselves first in the face. “The complications – concludes Moreno – can be a result of one's own viral infection or a secondary bacterial infection: otitis media, laringotraqueobronquitis, pneumonia, and diarrhea, more common in young children.

"33414","Parents are being warned to look out for the symptoms of a range of childhood illnesses that are on the rise after many years. Cases of measles and scarlet fever have increased considerably this year and parents are also being advised to know the signs of ‘slapped cheek’ too, as the rash can often be very similar to that of scarlet fever. Measles cases are rocketing across Europe and there has been a considerable rise in cases in the UK too. It had been hoped that the number of cases would fall, as a result of the effective vaccine, but that doesn’t appear to have been the case and a lack of take up of the vaccine is now having a profound effect. Cases of scarlet fever are also on the rise and are now higher than they were in the 1960s. So – what are the signs to look out for and what can be done to help?  Measles  Measles is a highly infectious viral illness that can be extremely unpleasant and sometimes leads to serious complications. It can affect any age group but is most common in young children.  The infection usually lasts from 7 to 10 days however, it can lead to serious and potentially life changing and life-threatening complications in some people if it affects their lungs or brain. Measles is also particularly serious if someone is pregnant.  Symptoms of measles:  The initial symptoms of measles develop around 10 days after infection and can include the following:  Cold-like symptoms; such as a runny nose, sneezing, and a cough  Sore, red eyes that are often sensitive to light  A raised temperature (fever), which could get up to 40C (104F)  Small greyish-white raised spots on the inside of the cheeks – these are classic symptoms of Measles.  A few days after this, a reddish-brown blotchy rash will appear, this usually starts on the head or upper neck and then spreads to the rest of the body.  When to see your GP:  Phone your GP as soon as possible if you suspect that you or your child may have measles. Tell them this is what you think it might be, as this is a highly contagious illness and they will need to make arrangement to reduce the risk of spreading the infection.  Please also see your GP if you have had close contact with someone with measles and you are not fully vaccinated or haven’t had the infection before – even if you don’t have any symptoms.  How measles is spread:  Measles is a highly contagious droplet virus which means it is spread through coughs and sneezes. The virus is able to survive on hard surfaces for quite a few hours. Therefore, if someone touches a contaminated surface and then puts their hands near their mouth or nose, they may become infected.  People with measles are infectious from when the symptoms develop until about four days after the rash first appears.  How measles can be prevented:  Measles can be prevented by having the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine. The more people who are vaccinated the greater the chance of eradicating this disease.  The MMR vaccination is given in two doses as part of the NHS childhood vaccination programme. The first dose is given when your child is around 13 months old and a second dose is given before your child starts school.  There was previously controversy about the safety of the MMR vaccine and a possible link with Autism. These concerns have since been disproved and the MMR vaccine remains a safe and extremely well tested weapon in the fight against this extremely unpleasant illness.  Adults and older children can be vaccinated at any age if they haven’t been fully vaccinated before. Ask your GP about having the vaccination.  If for some reason the MMR vaccine isn’t suitable for you, a treatment called human normal immunoglobulin (HNIG) can be used if you’re at immediate risk of catching measles.  Hand hygiene and extreme care when looking after someone who is infected is vital to reducing the spread.  Treating measles:  There are several things you can do to help relieve symptoms and reduce the risk of spreading the infection, including:  Ensuring that everyone regularly washes their hands and uses hand sanitizer. Tissues should be disposed of hygienically (flushed down the loo) and they should always clean their hands after. They should always cover their noses and mouths when coughing and sneezing.  Taking paracetamol or ibuprofen to reduce your fever and aching and make you feel better.  Drinking plenty of water and keep hydrated.  Closing the curtains can help reduce light sensitivity and make it easier for their eyes.  Carefully clean their eyes using damp cotton wool and dispose of this hygienically.  Staying away from nursery, school or work for at least four days from when the rash first appears.  If you or your child are getting worse or experience any complications, get medical advice quickly.  Scarlet Fever  Scarlet fever is a highly contagious infection. Whilst it mainly affects young children, it can affect adults too. The symptoms for children and adults are the same, but it is much rarer for adults for get scarlet fever. It usually lasts about a week.  Symptoms:  scarlet fever can start with flu-like symptoms, including a high temperature and swollen glands  A rash appear will then appear a few days later  The rash usually starts on the chest and/or tummy. It is rough to the touch, pinky/red in colour and can look like sunburn  The tongue can also develop a white coating  When to see your GP:  If your child has the symptoms listed above, they should see their GP  If, a week after seeing the GP, they are still unwell, you should make another appointment. This is especially important if they have recently had chicken pox.  If they are unwell again, even if it is weeks after having had scarlet fever. This can be a sign of a complication, such as pneumonia.  PLEASE NOTE – as Scarlet fever is very infectious, it is best to tell the receptionist when you call to make an appointment. They may suggest a telephone consultation with the doctor, to avoid the risk of spreading the infection to those in the surgery.  Treatment:  Your GP will probably prescribe antibiotics and, although they will not actually cure the scarlet fever, they will help to prevent any complications developing. People who suffer from impetigo are more likely to develop complications, so should be extra vigilant.  In addition, you can help the child by:  Ensuring they have lots of cooling fluids to drink and soft foods to eat. These will be easier to swallow with a sore throat  Giving them child paracetamol to make them feel better and lower their temperature  Also, giving them antihistamine and applying calamine lotion to help with the itching from the rash  How to stop spreading scarlet fever:  Adhere to strict hand hygiene rules and always use soap and warm water to wash your hands after any contact with the patient. Also ensure that used tissues are thrown away immediately and that all surfaces that have been touched are wiped down immediately.  Slapped cheek  Slapped cheek can often be mistaken for scarlet fever, but it starts with a rash on the cheek (which looks like the child has been slapped) and then sometimes spreads to the body a few days after that. The rash usually lasts for around two weeks, but can continue after that.  The child may also have a headache, a sore throat and a high temperature.  Treatment:  You normally don’t need to see your GP for slapped cheek, but a pharmacist may be able to help with an antihistamine, if the rash is itchy. Children’s paracetamol can also help reduce their aches and pains and also reduce the child’s temperature and they should drink plenty of fluids.

The disease in the first place from respiratorya system with severe pneumonia, but it could lead to inflammation of the brain – encephalitis. Quite rare, but not eliminated such complications. Just the immune system at this age has not yet reached its full development. So, no need to rely on the strength of your immune system, and the idea that it is better to spend a disease to get immunity. In the case of prevention, so that. preventive immunization is important! What is the actual situation in the country, are there any new cases? One of those cases, though still not finished off the epidemic. Why infectious disease that was considered almost disappeared, suddenly appears. Which way to prevent all this? - A few years ago we even had a program for the elimination of measles. Marbelito seemed variolata, we announced eradicarea in the late 70-ies. Unfortunately, it turned out that it is not. What the problem is. That just means that available vaccine for prevention is not applied as it should be applied. A large percentage of the child population remains Neimoidian. Why not vaccinate children? - Unfortunately, young and smart people who read too much, but due to the fact that they are not experts in the field, interpret incorrectly and arrogantly scientific facts that we try to teach them in simple language. On the other hand, there are people who have low intellectual level and who, because nemyrivs or material considerations do not visit your child's doctor. This, of course, mostly of obtaining a population where we have a very large part of the uncovered points of view on vaccinations. Which way to solve this problem? - It is very important the cooperation of personal physicians, because they are directly responsible for the implementation of vaccinations, and they even have a moral obligation to write the correct number ironiziruya. Every year accounted for 98%, at least imunization coatings, however, when there is such an epidemic, we examine the mass population and it turns out that it is not so. Not 98%, we, that. someone somewhere is deceiving someone. We deceive ourselves that way! An Interview With Andrea Draganova",48,"bulgaria"

Kindergartens, schools and universities are among the privileged places of contamination, as do the communities of precarious populations.

""The current epidemiology of measles shows that France is still endemic vis-a-vis the infection and is not immune to a new outbreak of significant "", analysis by the national agency of public health. In fact, the diagnostics are distributed rather evenly in the territory. Source : public Health France The scenario of an epidemic is all the more credible that the immunization coverage is too low.

It would be necessary to reach 95 % in order to prevent any movement of the virus. 10 deaths in 10 years in The light of these indicators, public Health France recommends that healthcare professionals be vigilant. In the Face of a measles, the vaccine calendar of loved ones needs to be systematically verified. If the schema is incomplete, a vaccination catch-up or post-exposure prophylaxis will prevent the spread of the virus. The goal : prevent an epidemic like that of 2011 will not occur again. In the space of a year, more than 15 000 people had been contaminated. Dark year, with 10 deaths, have been recorded. France is far from isolated in the face of this resurgence of measles.

The new legislation would enter into force starting from march 2020. According to a research of the ministry of Health, the requirement of vaccination would be about 600 thousand people in Germany, and will be applied primarily in kindergartens, schools, for those who work in hospitals or in medical studies.

"6345","VIAREGGIO. Increase in cases of measles in Versilia. Are a dozen people affected by the virus in the last few months: we are above the average, since in the past these sick people could be counted on the fingers of one hand. For this reason, the Asl decided to send an official communication ""is not to generate alarm, but to invite the citizens to contact the emergency room of the hospital Versilia (if not necessary)"". Also read the Three patients show the history of the “Versilia”, The reason? Reduce the risk of contagion. That measles is high. And dangerous, when it comes to adults. Except that they are not vaccinated or who have not already had the disease: in this case, the risk is virtually non-existent. The increase in cases of measles is affecting a good part of Tuscany. A few weeks ago they are registered of the outbreak, in Florence, which have also affected health care workers in hospitals. Also in the territory of the Asl in the north-west and in particular in Versilia have recorded these episodes. For this reason, by the company health wonder who is sick not to go to the emergency room to avoid infection: first-aid may work by the multiplier, by both the infecting and the other patients that the same operators of the hospital. You should, instead, stay home and take care as practices: in the absence of severe symptoms, the disease will go away as it is coming. ""The disease is contagious - explains the Asl - and airborne transmission. In the case of the appearance of symptoms compatible with measles, it is recommended that a medical evaluation and then isolation at home for a few days. It is then the doctor or the pediatrician of the family having to consider the situation and decide the best solution for their client. If there are no symptoms are particularly severe, indeed, it is not advisable to access a hospital, which instead is likely to increase the spread of infection"". The Asl, however, ensures that we are not facing an epidemic. And that the council addressed to the user is a precaution. ""To contact every person suffering from measles will be offered the vaccination by the Department of prevention,"" recalls the company's health. The greater circulation of the measles virus, is very probably linked to a reduction in the last period, the percentage of children vaccinated. In Versilia, the percentage is down to just over 86% (data 2015): this means that 14 out of every 100 children are not covered. We are two points below the average of the entire Asl (88%) and almost ten points less than the percentage of 95%, considered the minimum for the so-called “immunity of the flock”. That is, the mechanism that allows it to cover from the risks of contagion even those who do not vaccinate. ""The vaccines used in recent years for children - concludes the Asl - are combined against measles, rubella and mumps (Mmr), and that such vaccination is included in the national calendar than the mandatory and / or recommended. Even for adults who have not had the disease, subject to complications very serious, even if rare, the advice is to get vaccinated"".",48,"italy"

Figures show last year, 9% turning five went without the MMR jabs and that is below the official target.  The Royal College of Nursing is urging parents to keep kids up-to-date, amid measles outbreaks across the UK and Europe.  South-west spokeswoman Julie Connoly has told Pirate FM that is even more important, with the holidays underway.  ""Whether any of them had been vaccinated, I don't know for sure. But certainly some of the research we've done indicates the majority of these people won't have had the vaccination. The message must get out there; people need to vaccinate their children. ""They need to be immunised. We've had a whole generation of people who haven't had it because of concerns about MMR. But there's been a massive increase, 700 cases alone this year, of measles"".

Cases of measles in the UK have also rocketed this year, as figures show parents are still not taking hundreds of young children for their MMR vaccines.  It means the area is falling below the vaccination level the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control says is required to prevent outbreaks of measles.  The most recent figures show that in the 2016-17 financial year, 91% of children in Cornwall turning five had received the recommended two MMR jabs. That means that an estimated 570 five-year-olds in the area had not been vaccinated.  The ECDC warns that areas in which fewer than 95% of the population are vaccinated are at a heightened risk of a measles outbreak but only four countries in the EU have hit this target, with the UK among those falling short.  Across the south-west as a whole, just 90% of children had received both MMR jabs by the age of five in 2016-17.  In the UK, 757 cases of measles have been reported so far this year - nearly triple the 274 cases reported in the whole of 2017.  What is the advice for children and parents?  The Royal College of Nursing (RCN) has advised teenagers who missed their jabs in the late 1990s to ensure they are up to date before travelling. Many missed the course of vaccination following discredited scare stories over links between the vaccine and developing autism.  While local figures are not available, NHS numbers show that by 2005-06, over a quarter of five-year-olds in England were not receiving both MMR jabs.  Following significant outbreaks in France, Italy, Greece and Romania, the RCN's Helen Donovan said the threat posed by measles should not be underestimated.  ""Measles is extremely infectious, especially where large crowds of people gather, such as at festivals or in towns. ""Thanks to vaccination it has become increasingly rare in the UK, but recent increases in infection rates show we can’t be complacent"".  Ms Donovan also urged people to ensure their vaccinations are up to date, by contacting their GP.  ""The MMR vaccine is free. Getting immunised is quick and simple - an appointment with your practice nurse will only take a few minutes"".  .@HelenDon_RCN: ""Measles is extremely infectious, especially where large crowds of people gather such as at festivals or in towns.

In the UK, babies are usually given the first MMR jab within a month of their first birthday, as part of their routine vaccination schedule. The second is usually given after they turn three.  Children up to the age of 18 who missed their jabs are still eligible to receive them free on the NHS, as are certain vulnerable adults, including pregnant women.  What are the signs of measles?  The initial symptoms of measles develop around 10 days after you are infected.

Even though the disease is rare in Belgium, it is at risk of getting infected remains. Measles is a very contagious, and can even be fatal. Since a couple of years into illness, re-settled in Europe, but also in our country.

For Federico Martinón, chief of Service of Pediatrics of the University Clinical Hospital of Santiago and coordinator of the Collaborating Centre of the World Health Organization (WHO) Safety Vaccine of Santiago, the global situation in relation to measles and the resurgence of this serious disease is ""definitely alarming"", especially, she says, because it is due to one reason ""absurd"", as is stop vaccinating, because ""there is a very good vaccine"". In full European Week of Immunization, the pediatric intensivist and science popularizer Alberto García Salido alerted about the possible need to be vaccinated against the measles, those born after 1970. Warned to those who had not passed the disease, and did not know if they were vaccinated. ""This does not happen just by being antivacunas"", needed. Asked about THE OPINION on the reasons of this notice, Federico Martinón explains that in Spain, the measles immunization was started in the 70s, in a systematic way, starting in 1978. ""Until then, it is assumed that the whole world was in contact with the disease and therefore, if you overcame the disease, acquired immune protection ""highlights"". However, then we learned that was not enough a single dose of measles-containing vaccine, since some people do not respond adequately with a single dose, with that in the 80's we began to vaccinate with two doses, including definitely on the calendar systematic national vaccination with two doses against measles in 1995"". Between the years 1970 and 2000 coincided more changes: it begins to decrease the exposure a natural in front of the measles thanks to vaccination on the one hand, and on the other there are people who are not vaccinated or only received a different dose depending on which autonomous community belonging. ""It is for this reason that in this generation born between 1970 and 2000 can be people who are not 100% protected from measles, or well-being but don't know because don't remember if they suffered the illness or if they are partially or fully immunized,"" says the expert gallego. If we belong to that generation, how do you know for certain if we are immunized? It is very possible to not remember if we have passed the disease, or that the confuse with chickenpox, and it is not usually customary to retain the immunization records after almost 50 years... The clinical researcher of the CHUS says that you can determine if the person is protected or not by a blood test, a serology, but in general it is not worth to perform such a test. ""It is easier to vaccinate without more, completing with the dose of vaccine that was missing if that is the case, or getting the standard full-if you do not know, that is to say, with two separate doses at least a month,"" says Martinón. If the person was already protected, the vaccine will not harm, on the contrary, it will strengthen their defenses. ""And if it wasn't, after getting vaccinated, yes that will be protected, something important for what's going to happen,"" he says. And what can happen? Federico Martinón coincides with the minister of Health, María Luisa Carcedo, that in Spain the situation is good in comparison with other countries of the continent, as here, ""the transmission of the disease is interrupted, and occur only imported cases or small outbreaks are self-limiting from these imported cases"".

The UK comes third in a global ranking showing the number of unvaccinated children in high-income countries. The US topped the charts, with 2,593,000 youngsters not receiving their first measles dose over the eight-year-period.  As measles is highly infectious, anyone who has not received two doses of MMR vaccine is at risk, particularly unvaccinated people travelling to countries where there are currently large outbreaks of measles.  In the final quarter of last year, 94.9 per cent of eligible children aged five received the first dose of MMR. To achieve herd immunity for measles at least 90-95 per cent of the population need to be fully protected. One dose of the MMR vaccine is about 90-95 per cent effective at preventing measles. After a second dose the level of protection is around 99 per cent.  Coverage of the second dose is at 87.4 per cent for children aged five. PHE is therefore urging those who have only had one dose to ensure they are fully vaccinated with two doses.  'Get protected'  Head of Immunisation at Public Health England Dr Mary Ramsay said: “Measles can kill and it is incredibly easy to catch, especially if you are not vaccinated. Even one child missing their vaccine is one too many – if you are in any doubt about your child’s vaccination status, ask your GP as it’s never too late to get protected.  “There are measles outbreaks happening across Europe so if you are planning to travel, make sure you check with your GP and catch-up if needed. We continue to work with NHS England on how we can make it as easy as possible for parents to access vaccines so that they can offer their children the best possible start in life.”  Public Health minister Seema Kennedy said: “No child or young person should have to suffer from mumps, measles or rubella, and we must curb this recent increase in cases so we don’t see a return of horrible diseases of the past. By taking up the MMR vaccine parents and young people can prevent more cases and I would urge everybody to do so.”",47,"uk"

However, the atmosphere on the boat is believed to be good and passengers are cooperating with tests.  The doctor previously told Reuters the relatively confined interior of the Freewinds ship means passengers are at risk of catching the disease, despite the measles-infected crew member being restricted to her cabin since she was diagnosed.  The 440-foot cruise ship has been described as a floating “religious retreat ministering the most advanced level of spiritual counselling in the Scientology religion”.  However, in 2011, an Australian woman claimed she was held against her will on the Freewinds for 12 years and forced to do hard labour in the ship’s engine room.

The quarantine comes as the number of measles cases in the US has reached a 25-year peak with more than 750 cases diagnosed this year, as of 3 May.  Public health officials have blamed declining vaccination rates in some communities for the outbreaks, caused in part by misinformation spread on social media.  Health authorities in Los Angeles ordered quarantines on two university campuses last month after both reported at least one confirmed case.  Additional reporting by agencies",47,"uk"

"29310","MEASLES IN the UK-Analysis of the epidemiological bulletins of This analysis is done on the basis of the epidemiological bulletins of the Measles, which the Directorate-general of Health has made available up to May 29 2017: notice: This analysis seeks to explain the real impact on the incidence of measles among vaccinated and non-vaccinated. The first, and only, if from the North it was an isolated case and it is imported from Venezuela (age group 1 to 4 years of age), as reported on 31 March . For this reason, it is not the one I will consider in this review, so then we went to a total of 28 cases have been confirmed, and it is not in the 29. Of the deaths recorded in the Region of Lisboa e Vale do Tejo, a young woman of 17 years of age are not immunized by the recommended by a doctor from a very young age, he was a patient of cancer. Even so, I agree to the contabilizá it as a case in point. Analysis (1) epidemiological bulletins: Blaming the non-vaccinated and the numbers from this outbreak (28 cases confirmed, is difficult to explain, in view of the anomalies, a well-known disease of childhood: Why 25% of the growth targeted for the age group between 40-44 years old. The use of the ribosomes (they make proteins for the cell that is identified as a ""virus"", has to be exposed in the event of a vaccine for the measles, and it is confirmed that since there exists the dream of creating the vaccine technology for the genetic modification of pure. With the outbreak of Ebola in 2014, which is the best-known example of a trial of a vaccine for this new type. The prevention of one disease leads to the application of the direct crosshairs endoplasmáticos, so that they can produce the antigens of that, if you want to ""vaccinate"". A crazy suicide bomber!!! 5/7 no resemblance to the phrase ""sorcerer's apprentice"" is a reality. Surprised if those of you who don't know, because there are some people to avoid vaccinations! Surprised with the explosion of auto-immune diseases and are mediated by the thyroid. The true cost-in economic, social and epigenetic, is self-evident. The Fig. 1, it gives an insight into the seriousness of the problem. It is estimated that in the united states in the year 2000, 18% of the population suffered from a disease which is mediated by the thyroid. The multiplicity of these diseases affect the population in the age groups getting younger and younger, contrary to the myth of the warrant as a part of the aging of the population and the increase in life expectancy. The population that is living longer and longer with the problems each and every time the most chronic and debilitating. To speak at the disrupted genomic data would be appropriate. The medical frank Herbert McGolfin Shelton (1895-1985), and Pierre-Valentin Marchesseau (1911-1994), are examples of those reported to the authorities, and the medical corp ""bought out"" by the Report, Flexner (1910), and giving an interest, the consequences of the fashionable life. According to them, the magnitude of the short-term gains would be overtaken by the size of the negatives in the long run. The vaccination would contaminate the blood with viruses, and toxins, whether living or not, leading to the enfranquecimento is vital, and in the long term, the level of a degenerative (auto-immune). That is exactly what is happening today to the poor diagnosis and under-reporting of autoimmune diseases, it helps to hide the reality of this objective: ""the Death certificate data have also been used to estimate the relative ranking of autoimmune and infectious diseases among causes of death [3]. Studies of several autoimmune diseases have been reported considerable under-reporting of these diseases on death certificates, however, even when contributing causes of death are included in the analysis. For example, in studies of multiple sclerosis patients in the United Kingdom, [160], and type 1 diabetes patients in Belgium [161], by 27% and 29%, respectively, of the death certificates did not include any mention of these type diseases. Underascertainment rates were higher (40% and 42%, respectively) in studies of systemic lupus erythematosus [162] and rheumatoid arthritis [163] "" - Recent Insights in the Epidemiology of Autoimmune Diseases: Improved Prevalence Estimates and Understanding of Clustering of Diseases page 6 of 7 The cientificaçao in the medical and high-tech shared that knowledge in a myriad of specialties and sub-specialties, where physicians and researchers to know more and more, about less and less. The skew between the latest advances in science, the omission detrimental to the interests of the individual and the underlying human needs that justifies all the skepticism that is associated to the action of the vaccine. In figure 2, is a collection of empirical relationships between a vaccine and a disease of the immune. I think we should consider this very seriously.

By Brendan D. Murphy, the founder of the Global Freedom of Movement in the Virus of the Measles, right? One of the biggest news stories in science and medicine for years, perhaps even decades to come – just to come in Germany, the existence of the measles virus has suffered a major blow and it can be – just may – have just been rejected. In 2011, the biologist (and, virologista) and Stefan Lanka has challenged the scientific community to present the real evidence and empirical proof of what the measles virus actually does exist. He was so convinced that the belief in the existence of the virus – a belief that is widespread, deeply rooted, and taken simply for granted, was without merit, and that he had offered a prize of 100 thousand euros to anyone who could present proof of identification in the laboratory, and is a measure of the diameter of the virus. The challenge was quickly taken up by David, Bardens, and the matter proceeded on the legal system in germany for many years, in order to determine if the plaintiff/claimant had failed to prove, scientifically, that the measles virus actually existed, in accordance with the specifications of the challenge of the Globe. Bardens, presented a six-publications1 deal with what he has said constitutes evidence of the virus, and right after, he demanded that the reward be paid to involving an attorney. Lanka did not accept the evidence, and the matter went to court. On the 10th of April, 2014, in the case of Lanka vs. Bardens started at the end of a Court in Ravensburg, is a long and complicated story, with lots of accusations, and the strange twists and turns – and the decision has gone against Lanka, but it doesn't stop there. 1 / 4th To the 16th of February, 2016, the Action of Appeal, The higher regional court Stuttgart) has re-evaluated the decision and found that the Bardens had failed to comply with the formal criteria of a “gamble,” as established by the Globe. So, Bardens took the case to the Supreme Court, the Federal German, at Karlsruhe, is in the middle of 2016, in the hope of finally securing the prize, which he believed to be his. Lanka vs Bardens: Lanka won, However, there are only a couple of days ago (Jan. In 2017, the decision of the court was made known. The verdict: the hotel's award of Lanka would not be paid. In the complaint, the Bardens have been denied. Unfortunately, the medical heat, just to be obliterated, or at least seriously challenged)? If it does, the ramifications are nothing short of staggering. The First Civil Senate of the Federal Supreme Court (BGH) upheld the previous judgment of the higher Regional Court of Stuttgart (OLG), on the 16th of February to the end of 2016. Not only will the Lankans don'T have to pay the premium, as the Bardens is also ordered to pay the costs of the proceedings. Iu!! To the biologist (and, virologista) and Stefan Lanka, informed him of the story of the law in the measles, which, according to him, the five experts were involved in the event, they will present the results and analysis of the six studies, science, fundamental displayed by the Bardens, which are used to justify the existence of the measles virus. Five experts, including Professor Dr Andreas Podbielski, ""have found consistently that none of the six publications that have been presented at the trial, it contains the scientific proof of the existence of the purported virus from the pox.""1 the Podbielski worked in the Institute of Medical Microbiology, Virology and Hygiene, Rostock. (Bardens, on the other hand, had yet to obtain a doctoral degree). This whole idea of the virus of the measles, we will be ourselves in the face of another chaotic mess of medical? You can listen to almost here, to the palpitations, a strong group of pharmaceuticals. You will have the Gene and the destruction of a myth, so dear? During the trial, the results of the investigation of the genetics of the supposed measles virus has been shown. Two well-known laboratories, including the largest and the Institute is a world leader in genomics, have come to exactly the same result, independently of each other. The result is a proof that the author of the six publications on the case study of the measles virus were wrong, and, as a consequence, all of the participants, which support these studies are wrong, and still eat the error was: They played poorly in the constituent of the ordinary of the cells as part of a suspected measles virus. As a result of this error, for several decades, in the process of building consensus, the constituents of normal cells, were mentally associated with a model of measles virus. Up to now, the concrete structure of such a model has never been found in a human being or an animal. With these results, genetic tests are concerned, all arguments for the existence of the measles virus have been scientifically refuted. 2 page 2 of 4 Fundamentally, and to a great extent the author of six books about the measles virus (and their supporters) have been exposed for not conducting any experiment, inspection, and failed to follow the “best practices” in science. Dr. Podbielski is explicitly confirmed it. This is an error, according to Lanka, and became the basis for the belief in a disease that is caused by a virus. As he put it: “They have misinterpreted the constituents of the ordinary of the cells as part of a suspected measles virus.” 3, In the best case scenario is that the existence of a “measles virus” still has no evidence. Lanka is no exception to the matter - on the contrary, since there are no other publications have, in addition to these, six mentioned it to demonstrate to the [scientifically] with the existence of the measles virus, in the judgment of the Supreme Court and the Federal on the virus of the measles, and the results of the genetic tests that have a result: any national and international declarations on the purported measles virus, infectivity of measles and the benefits and safety of immunization for measles, since then, the non-scientific and, therefore, have been deprived of a legal basis. 4 in Addition, the Director of the National Institute's reference to the Measles part of the Robert Koch Institute (RKI), Professor Dr. Annette Mankertz, admitted that “measles virus” that actually contains components of normal cell, such as ribosomes, and since then, the measles vaccine is a vaccine, “virus whole”, which contains the structures of the cellular pattern. These are injected directly into the blood of the recipient, bypassing all natural barriers and defense mechanisms of the body, thereby triggering an immune response to a non-natural, is often compared by experts, as the equivalent of “kicking a wasp's nest”. “That is why the measles vaccination causing allergies and reactions, auto-immune and more frequent and severe than with other types of vaccination,” says the Globe. 5. The expert will be appointed to the case, Dr. Podbielski has stated on several occasions during the court proceedings, which, by the admission of the Robert Koch Institute, ""the measles virus contains ribosomes, a theory of the measles virus has been tampered with. In addition to this, during the trial, it was also reported that the Robert Koch Institute - the largest in the German infectious disease - contrary to its statutory mandate [in accordance with article 4 of the Law on Protection against Infection (IfSG)], it is not carried out scientific tests for the so-called virus of the measles, the not published. The RKI said it was done by the so-called in-house studies on the viruses of measles,"" but refusing to publish or deliver such results. 6 Thus, the logical conclusion of the assertion of the RKI, is that it's just a story to cover up to save face, no substance, and that it is entirely typical of the medical authorities when they are caught in a lie. 3/4 of the way through, Wait for the reaction, As it reacts to the group's pharmaceutical (Big Pharma) and their representatives, physicians, and critical of the service? Or, they are ignorant of the event, and to create a great CAMPAIGN, FOR FEAR of the measles, and they are selling the most of the vaccine – and then leave you to die and the myth to hang, reducing the damage? Maybe it's a panic in the global equivalent of the “flu, avian, or porcine), a kind of “pox porcine”? Or maybe it's something more frightening to be in the pipeline, something that terrific how to “th bat” – “Have already made the vaccine, so as not to be bitten!” This is one of the many pieces of the dominoes in the “Big Pharma”, which will drop in the next few months.

The number of infections with the measles vaccine has been available in Europe has risen dramatically. In the first six months of this year, more than 41.000 children and adults, the contagious nature of the disease, warns the world health organization (WHO) on Monday in Copenhagen, denmark. At least 37 persons have died of the disease. The organization is an explosive rate of increase in the WHO region of Europe. With more than 41.000 infections in the first six months of the end of 2018, the number of cases this year is already higher than all of the individual annual reports over the past decade. To this end, it was a record for the period from 2010 to 23.927 infections (2017), and the lowest was 2016, and are registered, and when it was done, at 5.273 in some cases. Especially in the Ukraine was hard-hit, and this year, accounting for more than half of the infections with measles (of 23,000), which is a consequence of the armed conflict in the region, allowing for such things as vaccinations, less well observed states. In addition to the scoring, however, many countries, such as France, Georgia, germany, Greece, Italy, netherlands, Russia, and Serbia, with more than 1,000 high up on the gevarenschaal. 'The vaccines to work. That is, it is a fact of life, just as the earth revolves round the sun' Vytenis Andriukaitis, commissioner for Health, Belgium, in comparison with most of the neighbouring countries with reasonably good: the WHO, recorded for us in the country from January until June 2018, with some seventy of infections. Only the Netherlands and Luxembourg and the neighbouring countries better, with not less than 50 cases. The measles virus is very contagious and travels through the air, with no contact required. Thus, it may be the infection happen to cause coughing, or talking. Measles can be severe respiratory and neurological diseases, such as pneumonia, and hersenvliesontstekingen. In order to contain outbreaks and to prevent, according to the WHO, at least 95% of the population in all age groups, social groups and vaccinations. Regional director, Zsuzsanna Jakab orders of the 53 member states of the WHO region for effective measures to be taken for the extension of the disease. ""Good health begins with vaccinations,"" she says. The european Commission wants the coverage enhancement made to the European Commission, the member states have already made a number of recommendations regarding the reluctance from the part of the Europeans are against the vaccines and the vaccination rate will improve. 'The vaccines to work. That is, it is a fact of life, just as the earth orbits around the sun, "" says the european commissioner for Health, Vytenis Andriukaitis. Andriukaitis calls for a European co-ordination. The low coverage rates in one member state in the Europe without internal borders, the health of the people in the other member states are at risk, said the commissioner. If he wants to be, inter alia, that all states, by 2020, the national vaccinatieplannen to enter, with the objective of providing the vaccination coverage against measles in at least 95 per cent to be spend. Andriukaitis also called for the introduction of routine checkups and immunizations at the various stages of their life.

"493","A very large study of over 650.000 Danish children followed up for more than a decade came to the same conclusion as several previous studies: the vaccine against measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine does not increase the risk of autism. The study has taken into account the data of all Danish children born from 1999 to 2010, followed up in 2013. The researchers compared the number of children who received a diagnosis of autism among vaccinated and unvaccinated cases, and found no difference. ""The study strongly supports the fact that MMR vaccine does not increase the risk of autism, does not trigger autism in children at risk (with risk factors, ed), and is not associated with a clustering of cases of autism after vaccination"", write the researchers in the study published in the Annals of internal Medicine in the United States. The authors emphasize that their work strengthens in particular a 2002 study on 537.000 Danish children. They cite ten studies conducted on the vaccine on children, including six specifically on the MMR vaccine, which have found no link. The hundreds of thousands of children as well studied, over many years, compare to the small 1998 study often cited by anti-vaccine as showing a link between MMR and autism, and that was only on 12 children.

"1479"," Uploading content to Say, ""measles"", and echoing back to you ""misinformation"". The Czech republic, together with four other european states lost the status of the country in which they were eradicated measles, we learned from news reports. The country gains when the disease does not spread epidemically after 36 months, and will lose if her year once again spread. And all the news repeated what said the World health organization – that are to blame disinformation. In a report to CNN that the united states of this certification probably this year also come, immediately tells us, that the misinformation about vaccinations spread and Russian shoes. So measles is actually something like Trump or brexit. If this means that vaccination now will be to promote the same authorities, ngos and journalists, who now feeds on the fight against disinformation, we have before us the grim epidemiological future. While that statement itself is not false. His factcheck, other short-term futile activity, would have sounded ""true"". Maybe in 2014 in the election of the clip to the eurovolbám party Adam B. Bartos of the National democracy (of which Czech television has refused to broadcast) was a symbol of vaccination right next to chemtrails and other favorite themes of conspiracy chaotů. The study by Andrew Wakefield that vaccination causes autism, belongs to the most thoroughly vyvráceným scientific fraud (and also the most enduring objects of the conspiracy theory, which tells us something about what we can promise from the fight thinktanku European Values, the EU Mythbusters or Haliny Pawlowské against the myths about vaccination). With the rejection of vaccination is trying to flirt Donald Trump during the republican primaries in 2016. But it saved him that on stage was also neurosurgeon Ben Carson, whom Trump was preceded by (Carson, he then supported and got a feature in the administration), and he stood clearly for a vaccination. Another candidate, Rand Paul found himself under fire because he refused to express clearly in favour of vaccination, although himself a physician. The contradiction between this qualification and its libertariánským image finally solved by letting the cameras to be revaccinated. American journalists generally keeps watch on the vaccination only for republican politicians, but in this case it's more complicated. Resistance to vaccination has several separate streams. On the one hand there are less educated people characterized by conservative distrust towards the establishment, also members of certain conservative sects and the like. But then there is resistance against vaccination very strong in certain enclaves the most educated, the most affluent members of the new ruling class. Surely Czech journalists know and adore Jon Stewart, the erstwhile protagonist of the satirical political programme The Daily Show, which had an excellent ability to get in front of the camera various right-wingers and make them look like fools. But Stewart once did a show about opponents of vaccination and the best catches up to him pretty good in the Marin County, the district on the north side of san francisco bay, where they live all beautiful rich people. One of the local inhabitants, Stevartovi confidently explained: we are all highly educated people, so we know what is good for us. With us again nejagilnější community zpochybňovačů vaccination nezalidňují not so much fans of Adam B. Bartos as a human type known as the ""biomatky"", which certainly does not belong to the poorest or the least educated. And you, who for all of today's problems now appear toxic maskulinitu, here too far out. That's because the crux of the problem is elsewhere than in the dezinformacích. You are the only transmission channel, but have nothing to do with the infection itself. Probably the most vibrant american intellectual mainstream is criticism of liberalism. While the liberalism here is not meant to be just that liberalism in the modern american concept, therefore, as we might say simply, leftism, but also classical liberalism. It's an intellectual posture, which gives a lot of dislike and raised eyebrows. Because this criticism goes too far and to accept it would mean giving up many of the achievements that we take for granted. Exponenti this stream are also coincidentally the most christians, so that their ideals may be to many to reek of a theocracy. We would have also prepared the land to find – individual freedom and capitalism, which are the values of the lines the different streams of our right in this criticism, by far, not the position of the fixed points. But it receives unexpected attention. One of the fundamental works of the current, Why Liberalism Failed from Patrick Deneena, called it a significant book of ex-president Barack Obama. If we had this criticism zvulgarizovat to one simple thesis was that ideology which aims for a single goal of maximizing individual autonomy, encounters problems, because it ignores important aspects of human nature. Vaccination stands and falls with the proočkovanou stocks. Just provides protection even to those who for some good reasons to be vaccinated they can't, those whose immunity has weakened, or sick. You yourself immunity, but vaccination is to protect the fact that the infection is do you not bombing at every step. And for this purpose it is necessary to, if possible, all those who are vaccinated may be, it had undergone even if they don't want to – because of a statistically tiny risk that they will have the inconvenience or that they just won't, because they have their reasons. They themselves are refusing the vaccination that the greatest risk they don't put out. This is the biggest need for the baby, which is currently undergoing chemotherapy. Although it would be self vaccinated. Vaccination, therefore, includes in itself the aspect of collectivism. One of the favorite genres of contemporary media and social networks is proof of how immensely life in the past centuries for the majority of people improved. To popular specimens include, in addition to a decline in the number of people living in poverty or the growth of crop yield also the eradication of infectious diseases. It belongs to the time of ""high modernism"" of the decades after the second world war, the trente glorieuses, as the French say. It's been a nice period of strong expansion of individual freedoms, which are, however, at the same time she could lean on the surviving reflexes of the collective ethos of earlier times. At a time when (mostly) without too much thinking went into the army, you could even mass-vaccinate. But when it is the main and sole criterion the maximization of individual autonomy? How to tell someone that she has to get vaccinated, even if he doesn't want? So, on the return of diseases which we have forgotten, we'll adjust. I'm sure we will feel sorry for those who of them will have lasting consequences. An annual collection to them will surely be successful. They will have a claim on our compassion. But the idea that their diseases could have been prevented by vaccination, will not resonate. It cannot be classified under any of the reigning story.",46,"czech"
"2671","Since the beginning of the year, 953 cases of measles have been reported in France, causing many complications and already a death. A few cases of measles have been identified in recent days on the department ligérien. Some people carry the virus, have been taken care of in the hospital North. Elisabeth Botelho-Nevers, head of the department of infectious diseases at the centre hospitalier universitaire saint-etienne, has called for the greatest vigilance in the face of a disease is ""highly contagious"" measles, what is it ? Measles is a viral disease. If the healing usually takes place in ten days, serious complications may occur, which may cause damage to the brain or pneumonia. ""The measles highlights Elisabeth Botelho-Nevers, has the particularity of not having a specific medication to be treated. The patient can only take drugs to lower the temperature by example "". And advise "" should be avoided contact with other people and if this is complicated, do not hesitate to call the 15 or make an appointment with his doctor. What are the symptoms ? Measles is translated by a skin rash, red spots that appear all over the body "" with a predominance at the level of the face "". specifies the specialist. These rashes are usually accompanied by a fever pretty violent (39 °C – 40 °C), and a great fatigue, and even diarrhea. The respiratory tract – the throat, the nose and the lungs – are taken. Who can catch it ? ""Measles is one of the infectious diseases the most contagious, and, contrary to received ideas, if it mainly concerns the children, it can also affect teenagers and adults who are not vaccinated,"" explains Elisabeth Botelho-Nevers. Measles is transmitted by saliva, coughing or nasal secretions : either directly, or indirectly through the spread of droplets in the air where the virus is dangerous about two hours. An infected person is contagious in the five days prior to the onset of the first rash until five days after. According to the head of the department of infectious diseases at the university hospital of Saint-Etienne, "" sick of the measles can infect up to 20 people versus 2 to 3 for the flu, Who should get vaccinated ? ""Everyone,"" insists dr. Botelho-Nevers : ""The vaccination protects you for life. It is essential from the earliest age "". The vaccine against Measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine fact, since 2018, part of the 11 mandatory vaccinations for infants : two doses are given at 12 and 18 months, and no recall is required. It is possible to get vaccinated at any age.",46,"france"
"2686","After having virtually disappeared for nearly two decades, measles is back in France. And this is not good news. Neither for the children, what we imagine to be the most affected by this disease, so-called child, or for adults. Because we know today that this disease, long regarded as a rite of passage in a child, in the same way as the chicken pox, so that the body will produce antibodies, making it impossible for a recurrence, is potentially very serious, even fatal. From January 2018, the vaccine is mandatory, whereas it was not until then that highly recommended. Where a resurgence of the disease. Since November 2017, 1.940 cases of this disease among the most contagious have been diagnosed in France, mainly in New-Aquitaine. In 2016, only 79 people had contracted the virus. Symptoms potentially serious measles is characterized first, as its name indicates, by the appearance of red patches that is gradually spreading over the whole body. But not only that. And what are the other symptoms that are to be taken most seriously : a high fever, diarrhea and especially a respiratory infection. However, these are in addition to the children of less than one year - in adults between the ages of 20 and 40 years old that these symptoms can lead to complications more severe. The website Doctissimo remember that measles can be accompanied by episodes of blindness, diarrhoea leading to significant dehydration, expectations, liver, or kidney. Complications sometimes fatal. Sometimes, measles can lead to respiratory infections or neurological complications. Example with Delphine, age 41, who was hospitalized for 15 days in February in Bordeaux. My doctor confirmed that I had for eight to twelve months to recover properly,"" says this mother of a family to Europe 1. The virus can even be fatal. On 14 February, a young woman, a 31-year-old is dead after struggling for ten days against measles. Vaccinated or not vaccinated ? This is the big question that must be asked of people born after 1980. Why this date ? ""Surveys of seroprevalence have shown that virtually all those who are born before 1980 have been contaminated by the measles!"", meets Pr Daniel Floret, pediatrician-infectiologist in The Figaro. Gold, as everyone knows, no one can be reached from measles only once. So what if it is not safe to be immunized ? It is first necessary to refer to its book of health, which lists all the vaccines. But many adults no longer possess this valuable document. Another technique is to perform a blood test to find out if a patient has been in contact with the virus... rubella. Because, for several decades, the vaccine against measles-protects against mumps and rubella (the MMR vaccine). If the test is positive, it is likely that the patient has received an injection or two of the vaccine. But the reliability is not guaranteed to be 100% Caution. In case of doubt, caution must be taken, especially in period of epidemic. It is necessary therefore to prefer to receive a dose of vaccine, to the extent that there is no risk to be vaccinated twice. ""If we don't know and that one was born after 1980, it is necessary to make at least one dose"" advocates Dr. Floret in The Figaro. And if you have been in contact with a patient with measles, it is not too late. A preventive vaccination is possible and effective within 72 hours of the alleged contact.",46,"france"

Luciano Trapanese, We are in full alert as measles, Who would have ever thought? 844 cases reported in January, 230 percent more than last year. The most affected regions of Piedmont, Lazio, Lombardy and Tuscany. Immediately after Campania and Calabria (historically at the command of this list). That indicates pre-curved low percentage of vaccinated children. About vaccines, are not served to nothing, the campaigns of the doctors from the campania region. That several times – last year -, came to solicit families. Result, nothing. Or almost. Italy has been placed in the not very honorable list of Countries ""at risk"" for those americans who intend to travel abroad. The reason for the outbreaks of measles. As a third-world country. And in fact, the Peninsula is the only one among the 18 Countries of the european region of Who in which has not yet been interrupted endemic transmission of measles. The epidemic was also caused by a new variant of genotype B3 of measles, most likely imported. Last year, just in our region - well 9 thousand children born in 2012 have not been subjected to the trivalent vaccine (which also protects against mumps and rubella). A situation – as reported by the Order of the doctors of the Campania – the limits of the emergency. With a real risk of an epidemic similar to that of 2002. In that case, from January to July were 40 thousand outbreaks in the population: 600 people ended up in the hospital, 16 were cases of encephalitis and four deaths. Those that many people ignore are the complications related to the measles (which is an infectious disease highly contagious). Can cause pneumonia, acute inflammation of the brain and even death. The news explodes in the media in the aftermath of the airing of the Report. In the transmission of inquiry – as you know – have been reported opinions worrying about the consequences of the vaccine to prevent the papilloma virus (which causes 90 per cent of cancers in the neck of the uterus: in Europe die 35 women per day). And once again an old refrain about vaccines. An open clash between most of the scientific community, which recommends the use (the world health Organization also imposes indexes minimum), and a few doctors that they feel are harmful and only do well to the pockets of the pharmaceutical companies. The tam tam on the social and a good dose of inevitable fake news then makes the discussion often surreal. The consequences, however, are unavoidable: and the epidemic of measles (which, for those not in the know – it reaps every year, thousands of victims, almost all children), is a classic example. Between the pasdaran antivaccinazione there are those who cite the negative consequences of injection against polio (forgetting the one that causes the disease). A senseless war. Rather than a serious discussion and structured, where the various reasons are given in a clear and scientifically verifiable, it goes back to the slogan, complottismi, news unfounded. The rest just read the bugiardini any medication (even the seemingly innocuous aspirin or paracetamol), to verify the possible and sometimes serious side effects. There are medicines that could have more serious consequences of the same diseases that they treat. Difficult to say vaccines are without side effects. The vaccinations, however, have allowed – in the last century – to improve in a radical way the state of health of entire populations. Have been avoided death and disabilities. Some infectious diseases have disappeared, such as polio. Others almost disappeared, as the diphtheria and rubella. It was almost eliminated measles, but the renunciation of so many to vaccination has in fact returned into the circle. And so often uncontrollable.",46,"italy"

The measles, let us remember, is not a trivial cold. There is no specific medicine to combat it, and in the younger children, and with immune system more fragile and can have complications-lethal"".

Of the disease, and the issue of vaccination have raised many questions, one is whether there is a risk that it may be the result of vaccination. He asought the answer, along with Robert Anderson, doctor of the family in a Family Health Unit of Garcia da Orta, Oporto. Are there any risks or side effects that may arise if we were to take the vaccine? Robert Almeida: As with all vaccines, there is always a risk. However, they are very little. People who are allergic to eggs may have an allergic reaction when taking a shot. There may be one or another symptom, but it's never anything serious. There was a time when people have also started to link the measles vaccine to autism. This relationship came to be is completely false. The vaccine for measles, and don't give 100% protection, it has a very high percentage of success, and protects you from significant problems, as in the case of the encefalites. Let's say that a parent has for a child, without any of the hassle of health, and all of a sudden he has swelling of the brain, and as a result it can turn out to be weak of mind. We've got about 95% of the population is vaccinated - we thought, until we were 98% and, therefore, we have that any such immunity in respect of the group. But the virus only circulates, if the population is not vaccinated, that is why it is thought that the virus was completely eradicated from the Uk. That is, the oral vaccine is not just to ensure your own health but also that of the community in which they live. Those who do not give the vaccine to their children is to contribute to the community and is not to be defended as well. We are living in a backwards step in this direction, we have to go back to the Uk in the 80's. I have far too many parents who don't want their children vaccinated, unfortunately. It is not only the responsibility of the individual but of the group. This is the reason why if you are planning to bring together a few experts to see the extent to which the country, as an organization, you can invite, the more strongly the parents to get their children immunized.",46,"portugal"

We see that old forgotten infectious diseases revived again, with all that entails in terms of public health and, of course, with the reflection that creates the anti-vaccination course movement, which have been embraced by many Europeans. As said in the ""Pharmaceutical World"" the head of the Department of Epidemiological Surveillance of the CDC, Theano Georgakopoulou, eight cases of infection were identified in children who were hospitalized in pediatric hospitals in the country, without, fortunately, any serious complications that will cost a life. Although the vaccine against measles, which is made in two installments, is sufficient to shield at a rate that reaches 100% of infants and toddlers, many parents appreciate that vaccination is unnecessary. However, in other european countries and mainly in Romania, until today, recorded 36 deaths due to measles and all were unvaccinated people.

Inter alia, measles protective MPR vaccination level is THL:according to the left Turku to 91.1 per cent. Turku health centre, the correct figure is 97,2 percent. According to the recommendations of the level should be over 95%. New city health centre in the area has been THL:according to 86.2 percent, Loimaa health center, the figure was 89.9 percent.

THL:n comparison is used in 2014 children born vaccination information that institution receives directly to health centers information systems. Turku THL:s statistics see flaws. Chief Jane marttila, according to the sources of error have been trying to figure out, but all technical problems have not been able to solve. In reality, Turku vaccination levels have THL:s statistics clearly better. – Our it systems, according to turku in 2014 children born 1 812, of these, 1 762 is received the MMR vaccination. So 97,24% of turku in 2014 the children born have been vaccinated with MMR with, says Marttila. THL:according to Turku's vaccination 158 children.

Statistical errors was noticed in Turku already a few years ago, when vaccination kattavuudet was released the last time. We went here THL's vaccine department leaders to familiarize with in the matter. In addition, the data transfer to the sorting out has been included with the system suppliers. Clear reason why all data are not transferred, however, it is not detected, said Marttila. – In large cities the child is involved in vaccine research, organized by the university of Tampere. Vaccinations done there and they are recorded afterwards in the patient information system. It would seem that, for example, these data do not go to THL:s statistics. Do in Turku now be worried about the measles epidemic? I'm worried about every vaccination refusal. Each child should take the vaccination. I don't want to void the risk, although the figures in the shot. The epidemic there is a risk, said Jane Marttila. – Measles is an extremely contagious disease, which rokotuskaan does not offer complete protection. It is possible that in extreme exposure, for example through living in the same state, may get a mild measles, though, would be vaccinated. Marttila recalled that part of the age group of the children get the vaccination until later. – In my experience, this figure does not tell us how many vaccinations take bad children after all, will be the 2014-born groups. It is now ”fashion” slows down the vaccination program. It is thought that small children not have the heart of giving so many vaccines. Don't think about it, that specifically small children are exposed to serious disease. New city health center, THL:n the statistics get a direct mistrust.

"2673","If the measles mainly affects children, this infectious disease can also affect adults. Symptoms, vaccine, prevention, and treatment... The point with Yannick Schmitt, a physician and President of the Regroupement Autonomous Generalists Young Installed and Replacements (ReAGJIR). [Updated on August 19, 2019 at 16.20] An air hostess israeli died Wednesday, August 14, 2019 encephalitis, one of the complications of measles. The mother of a family of 43-year-old was hospitalized last march with the return of a flight from New York to Tel Aviv, indicate that the israeli media. She had received only one dose of vaccine instead of the two injections required - and his immune system was very weakened. What are the symptoms of measles in adults ? How to prevent and treat it ? Highly contagious, measles is a viral infection. The contamination is in the air via droplets of saliva from the airways and containing the virus (coughing, sneezing, mouchages). Contamination can also occur through contact with objects contaminated with secretions from the nose or throat, for example. ""Measles may occur in children, but also adults. It is all the more serious when it occurs early in life. The only way to protect yourself and young children is vaccination,"" says Yannick Schmitt. If it is regarded as a childhood disease, measles can also affect adults, especially those with a compromised immune system or under-vaccinated. As in children, the measles causes : high fever, cough, nasopharyngitis, and/or conjunctivitis and a rash. ""They are small plate red more or less in relief, the so-called eruption morbilliforme,"" says Yannick Schmitt, who adds : ""after four days, the rash may progress to desquamation (loss of small pieces of dead skin). The fatigue and the cough is still present several days."" The healing takes place after a period of ten days approximately. The incubation phase lasts for a dozen days. Measles is not a benign disease and can cause certain complications, in particular infectious-level ENT (otitis media) or the lung (pneumonia with respiratory difficulties). ""In one case in a thousand, neurological complications arise in the form of encephalitis, i.e., inflammation of the nervous system. These complications can still be deadly, especially in the poorer countries. In France, may 2, 2019, 852 cases had been reported, of which 261 hospitalized with one death from January 1, 2019"", adds Yannick Schmitt. As there is no specific treatment to cure measles, it is better to get vaccinated to prevent its occurrence. Ask your doctor to check if your routine vaccinations measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine is up to date. Otherwise catch-up is recommended. ""For example, if you are born after 1980, a second dose of the vaccine is often necessary ! Remember that 89% of the cases occur in subjects not or poorly vaccinated. Often forgotten, this vaccination is planned for the young woman since it can only be done during the pregnancy."" To avoid catching the measles, it is recommended to follow certain rules of hygiene basics like washing your hands regularly, not sharing the objects of daily life, especially if you are in contact with a person with dementia. An exclusion from school is essential for children. Ventilate your home at least once per day to Maintain the temperature at 19 °C.

"2702","This is the 1st admission in the nursery and in the community since the introduction of the vaccination requirement of eleven vaccines. The evidence that all these vaccines have been administered will now be essential for the child to be admitted in the community (nursery, school...). Yet, the country Pastor, some parents are disoriented, and the doctors do not agree always. The country most ""vaccinoseptique"" of Europe, France is more than ever the gaulish village mocked beyond our borders. Logically wanted to, but bravely carried by the minister of Health, Agnes Buzyn, the transition from three to eleven vaccines required for children born on or after January 1, 2018. In addition to the 3 vaccines already compulsory (diphtheria, tetanus, and poliomyelitis or DT-Polio), 8 vaccines already recommended are now mandatory : whooping cough, measles, mumps, rubella (MMR), Haemophilus influenzae b, pneumococcal, meningococcal C, and hepatitis B. Without proof that these eleven vaccines have actually been administered, the children will not be enrolled in the nursery and in the community. These institutions can, however, produce a provisional admission to 3 months, time to allow parents to come into compliance. If they refuse, the child must be excluded, an obligation that promises a few difficulties. Why 11 vaccines be mandatory ? The main argument of the passage 11 vaccine mandatory, is the decline in immunization coverage for vaccines so far non-compulsory, and the resurgence of some diseases that can be fatal. However, the vaccine has been, with the improvement of the hygiene and the quality of the water, by the intervention of the most effective public health against infectious diseases. The vaccination is quite satisfactory in France on diseases for which it is compulsory (polio, tetanus, diphtheria) or for which the vaccines are almost systematically (whooping cough), Haemophilus influenzae (b) as combined with the vaccines mandatory. By contrast, for other diseases, and especially measles, the vaccination coverage in France is notoriously too low to protect the entire population against the disease : in France, in 2018, that children die or have sequelae of measles. The vaccination coverage is not optimal There is a minimum threshold of vaccination coverage in the French population for a ""group protection"" works and protects those who cannot be vaccinated (newborns, immunosuppressed...). This threshold depends on the contagiousness of the disease. In France, with a vaccine coverage of about 97% for diphtheria, one exceeds the threshold of herd immunity, and it is, therefore, the whole nation is protected, including in the case of infection made by a migrant. In the same way, the Haemophilus influenzae b of the child, rubella, or mumps have been nearly eliminated in the country because the coverage rate of vaccines exceeds the threshold of herd immunity to these 3 diseases. On the other hand, the current level of measles vaccination coverage (79 %) remains insufficient to enable a immunity group (the threshold of herd immunity = 95 %), and so we see resurgences of epidemic disease large-scale : more than 23 000 reported cases in France between 2008 and 2012, more than 1,500 pneumonia severe, and over 30 types of encephalitis with 10 deaths). It is unbearable and it is dangerous at a time when more than 41 000 cases of measles are observed in Europe. In the same manner, the insufficient coverage with the vaccine against meningitis C (70 % at the age of 2 years, but low in adolescents and young adults) is responsible for the majority of the nearly 800 cases of meningitis and 100 deaths have occurred since 2011. A controversial franco-française In the framework of the expansion of the vaccination requirement, the immunization remains a debate in public opinion, fueled to full, both by the arguments scientifically unfounded lobbyists anti-vaccines, the lack of training of medical and false-rumors peddled to the general public. France, however, home of a Pastor, became one of the countries in the world where the distrust of vaccine is the strongest with over 40% of French who think that vaccination is not safe. The episode of the false H1N1 pandemic of 2009-2010 and the vaccination put in place by the Ministry of the Interior has without doubt also played in this skepticism. This controversy is unique in Europe and takes place even as the vaccination requirement is the immunization schedule currently recommended (obligatory and recommended vaccinations) and that it does not add in fact there is no vaccine additional. It simply aims to ensure that all children receive the vaccines they would have received if the schedule was respected. However, the experience of some european countries, like the netherlands, shows that we can succeed to make almost disappear diseases such as meningitis, meningococcal C, thanks to the vaccination coverage is very high among children aged 1 to 18 years of age in this country. That can happen in case of refusal of the vaccination ? Children born on or after January 1, 2018, and which will not be in compliance with their required vaccinations, will not be able to enter in the kindergarten, at school and in other communities, so as not to expose other children, immunocompromised or not, of the potential risks linked to these diseases. Up here, the parents who refused the vaccination mandatory might a conviction in administrative that could lead to six months ' imprisonment and 3 750 € fine. This penalty was never enforced, and this rule of the code of Public Health (article L 31116-4) has been abolished. A decision trompe-l'oeil, because any health professional or after school will always be able to prevent the public prosecutor if it finds that the parent poses a risk to their child, and then passes it on to the criminal : the article 227-17 of the penal code sanctions of two years imprisonment and a 30 000 euro fine "" the fact, by the father or the mother, of escape, without legitimate reason, to its legal obligations to the point of compromising the health, safety, the morality or education of his minor child "". In the case of doctors, the Council of the Order will be ruthless and a doctor has been struck off for false certificate of cons-indication to vaccination. For the record, the 11 mandatory vaccinations are very effective. They protect children in over 90 % of diseases and adverse effects, when they exist, are typically minor and short-lived. Severe allergic reactions are extremely rare (less than one case out of 450 000 vaccinated), but they are mentioned in the majority of certificates of convenience for physicians complacent. Other adverse effects alleged by the anti-vaccines are scientifically unfounded (the scientific data has been independently reviewed by the INSERM). This topic interests you ?

"6374","In Italy you are recording an alarming increase in cases of measles. In the early months of 2017 there has been a significant increase in cases compared to 2016. Most of you may not know it, but the measles is a very contagious condition that can also give rise to serious complications, rare but possible. Fortunately, in our province it has been recorded only one case in 2016 and no event in the two and a half months of 2017. Thanks to a progressive increase of vaccination, even in the adult population. However, we have decided to address with you the topic of “measles”. To discuss it together. In an interview – that you find at the bottom of this article – Marco Clarizio, pediatrician of the USL of Modena, he explains with simple words the disease “measles”, and stresses the importance and efficacy of vaccination as a preventive tool and safe a sign of civilization and protection in respect of all. The first few months of 2017. In Italy, a worrying increase in cases of Measles In Italy, are years that you are recording a constant decrease of children vaccinated. A decrease that also relates to the vaccination against measles. Measles is a disease that many of us have only heard of because thanks to vaccinations had become more and more rare. Now, however, it is experiencing a worrying increase in cases of measles. According to the national Institute of Health in the first months of 2017, there were in Italy about 700 cases of measles against the 844 counted in 2016. To better understand the comparison, we think that last year at the same period, cases of measles were about 200. One speaks then of an increase of over 200 per cent, of the cases. This expansion is a consequence of a pool is not the total of the vaccine. But because it speaks of a worrying increase? MEASLES: a disease not to be underestimated, I don't know if you all know that the measles, in some cases, rare but possible, can be a source of complications, even serious ones. Measles is a highly contagious disease. Early symptoms are disturbances of influenza-like: fever, colds, conjunctivitis, inflammation of the airways and cough. After three days appears to be a rash that starts behind the ears and spread to the rest of the body. The child feels bad, it is physically torn down, piagnucoloso. And sometimes apathetic. The illness usually resolves in seven to ten days, giving an immunization final. This means that, once contracted, it will not return. The measles, however, can also be the source of serious complications, rare but possible. This is a disease not to be underestimated and always to this the vaccination is a powerful tool to prevent it. About 1 child in 30 can get sick from pneumonia, a disease that sometimes can also involve hospitalization. In 1 case out of 2000 it can also arise from an encephalitis which is an inflammation that affects the brain. Disease that can lead to permanent damage and in rare cases can also have a negative outcome. The important tool in order not to put at risk the health of our son and to prevent measles is vaccination. MEASLES: proteggiamoci with the vaccination As we have already written, measles is a disease that is easily transmitted. For decades, we have an effective vaccine. A vaccine that confers long-lasting protection and in most of the time for life Only when we come to vaccinate 95% of children will be safe and you will be able to say that the virus is not will be more in circulation. In some Countries, it has been possible to eliminate completely the disease. However, that all children are vaccinated. In Italy, the number of children vaccinated does not reach 85%. This means that each year potentially accumulates a population of around 75,000 children have not been vaccinated. If we consider the whole Italian population from 0 to 11 years old, today, in Italy, we have more than half a million children not vaccinated. A sufficient number still to allow the development of small local epidemics. For this we shall not cease to emphasize the importance of vaccinating your children against measles. And for any doubt you may have in this regard, we are here to discuss it with you. Next week, we will publish a series of articles on vaccination, between truth and myths to debunk.

"35914","Three members of Robert F Kennedy Jr’s family have denounced his anti-vaccination views arguing, that he is part of “heartbreaking” misinformation campaign.  Despite repeated attempts from health authorities to dispel false narratives that seek to undermine the science behind vaccines, Mr Kennedy Jr is one of a number of notable anti-vaccine activists. He wrote a book in 2014 about a mercury compound which has been used in a limited number of vaccines and claiming a link to brain disorders. There is no scientific evidence of a link between the compound, thimerosal, and autism.  Former Maryland lieutenant governor Kathleen Kennedy Townsend, former US Representative Joseph P Kennedy II and Maeve Kennedy McKean have said that they can no longer stand by and allow him to air such views, particularly in the wake of a measles outbreak that has struck 22 states across the US. They called the views “wrong”.  Download the new Indpendent Premium app Sharing the full story, not just the headlines  “Robert F Kennedy Jr — Joe and Kathleen’s brother and Maeve’s uncle — is part of this campaign to attack the institutions committed to reducing the tragedy of preventable infectious diseases,” the three wrote in an opinion piece for Politco.  According to the latest figures from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) there have been 764 cases of measles reported since 1 January, including communities in New York state and elsewhere where anti-vaccine views have influence.

The Lancet retracted the report in 2010 and Wakefield was struck off the medical register PA  “These tragic numbers are caused by the growing fear and mistrust of vaccines — amplified by internet doomsayers,” the three family members wrote, adding that Mr Kennedy Jr – the son of presidential candidate Robert F Kennedy – “helped to spread dangerous misinformation over social media and is complicit in sowing distrust of the science behind vaccines.”  Bringing up Mr Kennedy Jr’s uncle, President John F Kennedy, the op-ed states that the Kennedy family has a proud tradition of public health advocacy – it adds: “President Kennedy signed the Vaccination Assistance Act in 1962 to, in the words of a CDC report, ‘achieve as quickly as possible the protection of the population, especially of all preschool children ... through intensive immunisation activity.’”  In the days before Donald Trump moved into the White House January 2017, Mr Kennedy Jr told reporters that the president was planning a vaccine safety review panel, and had been asked to head up the review. Mr Trump’s team later said that the president had been merely looking into the possibility of setting up such a group.  Mr Trump himself has a history of linking autism to vaccines – despite the lack of evidence – tweeting in 2014: “Healthy young child goes to doctor, gets pumped with massive shot of many vaccines, doesn’t feel good and changes – AUTISM. Many such cases!” He also mentioned the same issue in a presidential debate.  However, given the significance of what is the first large-scale outbreak of measles in decades, Mr Trump said last month that children “have to get their shots” adding that “vaccinations are so important.”",45,"uk"
"3980","Berlin/Brussels, Minister of health, Jens Spahn (CDU), has presented a law to the controversial mandatory vaccination. We answer the most important questions. Vaccination is to defeat measles – they have to pay for The measles vaccination for kindergarten and school children's knowledge will come from - who sets in the future must up to 2500 Euro fine. The draft law of the Federal Minister of health, Jens Spahn (CDU) provides. ""In a free country, I must be able to rely on me, my To not unnecessarily at risk,"" the Minister said. The most important questions and answers on the topic. What Spahns law? The Minister wants to eradicate the highly contagious disease, which can even be fatal, and that's final. ""We want to protect all children from becoming infected with measles,"" said Spahn, the ""picture on Sunday"". ""That's why all who visit a daycare center or school to be vaccinated against measles. Who is admitted, must prove.“ Who'll care now, had the evidence until 31. July of next year later. ""All parents should be able to be sure that your child will not be infected with measles and are at risk."" The draft law is currently being voted on in the government. The vaccination is intended to apply from March 2020. What rules should apply for day-care centres and schools? Children without protection are to be excluded according to Spahn from the kindergarten visit. ""Finally, children under ten months may not be vaccinated and, thus, are particularly vulnerable to are in day-care centres."" In the case of schools this was due to the compulsory schooling is not possible, said Spahn. ""But who does not vaccinate his child is threatened by fines of up to 2500 euros."" Teachers and educators should also be vaccinated, Spahn. The evidence is to be provided on the vaccination certificate or the Vaccination certificate. People who can't be vaccinated for health reasons, you need to prove with a medical certificate. Why children's diseases are not only dangerous for children, Why children's diseases are not only dangerous for children How expensive a measles vaccination? According to Spahn, the vaccination for the patients are free of charge. The health insurance companies will pay. A vaccination costs about 60 Euro. All of the doctors to dentists to offer in the future, the protection. The public health service could vaccinate according to the plans of the Minister for children in schools and day care centers. How many people fall ill in the year of the measles? 2018 registered in Germany 543 cases of disease and, in 2019, it has already more than 300 diseases. In Germany, measles vaccination since 1973, in the GDR since 1970. Since there is significantly less diseases. However, it was not possible, as in the case of smallpox, eliminating the disease. Even today children in Germany still die of measles. • Background: How high the vaccination rates in Germany and Europe? Seven percent of the students in Germany are currently not vaccinated adequately against measles. And the Federal Republic of Germany, with the poor statistics do not alone. Only four out of 28 EU countries achieve the 95 per cent quota, writes the Vice-President of the European Commission, Jyrki Katainen, in a paper to the EU Parliament, which is our editors'. The result was outbreaks, an increase of measles and death cases in Europe, said Katainen. A rate of at least 95 percent of the children in the first and second measles vaccination as a prerequisite for the eradication of the disease. Therefore, all EU States are aiming to achieve the 95 percent rate. Only Sweden, Hungary, Slovakia, and Portugal is currently the 95-percent ratio. That was different: in 2007, 14 EU member States met the 95 percent target. The conclusion of the lights in France, Austria, Romania, Greece and Malta are currently. You would get the second measles vaccination Rates below 85 percent. Spahn, with the vaccination of the 95-percent ratio. ""I want to eradicate the measles. But not 93, but at least 95 percent of two measles must have vaccinations. This ratio, we do not reach, despite all the campaigns and good Appeals easy.“ How to argue with opponents? There are a wide variety of beliefs. Some opponents believe that it is better for children, it is a disease to suffer by than to get a syringe. Others are afraid of autism or allergies as a consequence of the vaccination. An Argument also has to do with Hygiene – according to the Motto: it is Not the medical protection has led to the fact that there are significantly fewer cases of disease, but the improved Hygiene in the past few decades. These and other arguments are regularly settled by the large majority of experts disagree. However, especially in the South of Baden-württemberg and Bavaria, some myths persist. Although not all of the parents of children without adequate protection are opponents. Many of you forget the second vaccination or a booster. Spahn defends the protection. • Background: ""Vaccination is one of the greatest achievements of mankind,"" said the CDU politician. Opponents spread according to the Minister, ""any amount of Fake News"". Scientifically, the risks of vaccination are much lower than the risks of a disease. This applies particularly in the case of measles. What is the coalition partner says? SPD Leader Andrea Nahles, and the social democratic health expert Karl Lauterbach support Spahns plans. But Hilde Mattheis (SPD) is not convinced. ""I can't imagine that the SPD will wave the design through,"" said Mattheis of the ""Saarbrücker Zeitung"". Each state could adopt a mandatory vaccination. You think that is sufficient. The President of the German medical Association, Frank Ulrich Montgomery, has called the plans an ""important step at the right time"". In the case of high vaccination rates in individual disease could be eliminated pathogens, regional, and even worldwide, said Montgomery, the editorial network in Germany.

"6352","ROME – Tetanus, infected at 10 years of age, was vaccinated: after measles, and other damage that is no-vax. A 10 year old child fell from the bike has contracted tetanus after the parents had refused the administration of tetanus at the hospital of Oristano where he had been brought for treatment. After the measles, we are confronted with the resurrection of another disease that mass vaccination had virtually eradicated, and it is true that a case of tetanus is not seen in Italy for at least 30 years. The first case in 30 years. A child of 10 years old, on holiday in Sardinia with the family, is hospitalized for tetanus in the operative Unit of Pediatrics, ospedale San Martino di Oristano. The infectious disease acute is caused by the bacterium Clostridium tetani, for which there is a vaccine, but the small was not submitted. Would be the first case among children after 30 years. The parents have rejected the anti-tetanus in the hospital. The child, who is in hospital since last Saturday, not in danger of life, and its conditions are gradually improving, although there are still some typical symptoms of the disease such as the muscle contractions and paralysis of the cranial nerves. The source of the infection was a fall from the bicycle, which he had caused to the child by a wound from a cut on his forehead, initially treated in a hospital on the peninsula, where, as reported by caregivers, was proposed to the parents as a precautionary measure treatment with immunoglobulin anti-tetanus, as usual. The proposal, which would have been rejected. “The case of absolute rarity”. This has allowed, have explained to the doctors that the tetanus (has an incubation period that ranges from three days to 21 days) to develop, so that when the baby arrived in the hospital of Oristano with the disease already in the stage of overt. To alert the doctors were some of the symptoms, such as facial paralysis, which they do not respond to therapies cortisoniche initially proposed. “It is a case of extreme rarity – has explained the director of the Unit of Paediatrics, John Zanda -. Tetanus is a disease, not contagious, which can be considered substantially disappeared in Italy among children due to vaccination anti-tetanus. As confirmed to us by the Institute of Health and the hospital Gaslini of Genoa, specializing in the care of pediatric patients, do not register more cases of tetanus among children for thirty years now. The story reiterates the theme of the choice of vaccines”. “The Sardinia – stressed Zanda – and the province of Oristano are, in this sense, good childhood vaccination coverage: our department in recent times has taken on a single case of measles”.",44,"italy"
"6354","Started the campaign extraordinary Ausl Romagna call active young people and adults for vaccination against measles. Still, in fact, to occur cases of measles in the territory of the province of Rimini, where, in December, there is an outbreak that to date has involved 36 people. Also in Ravenna since the beginning of the year were recorded 8 cases of the disease, apparently not related, nor between them nor to the outbreak of rimini. Public health interventions made in a timely way in the field in Rimini for the containment of the outbreak have been limited in their effectiveness, due to the low adhesion of the contacts to be susceptible to measures of prophylaxis vaccination post-exposure,because of beliefs contrary to vaccination (so-called no-vax), a factor that has led over the years to create large pockets of the population that is not protected for this disease. In order to increase the number of vaccinated people in the whole of Romagna, the local health authority has given way, as recently announced, a campaign of the active call to vaccination in adults that, if not already vaccinated and if not immunized in any other way, will be allowed to visit at the outpatient clinic, local health boards of the various territories to be vaccinated free of charge. The policies of recovery of the vaccine put in place following the regional law of Emilia Romagna and the decree Lorenzin, have involved children of school age and health care workers, significantly increasing the coverage rates for these target , but leaving substantially unchanged the low coverage rates of young adults. In Italy, in fact, the vaccine antimorbillo is available from 1976, and only since the ’90s, the percentages of coverage have begun to be more significant than protecting children. Here, the campaign, extraordinary vaccination antimorbillosa geared to adults. In areas of Forli, Cesena and Ravenna, the Services are sending a letter of invitation to the people born between 1980 and 1989 (starting from the born in 1989) for which it is not in the register of the vaccination, any dose of vaccination antimorbillosa. The letter will contain an illustration of the disease and its complications and the advantages of individual and collective vaccination, as well as, of course, the practical directions for access by reservation CUP. Have so far been sent 650 letters of invitation (250 to Ravenna, and, 200 in Forli, 200 Cesena). In consideration of the characteristics of an outbreak is still active, in the province of Rimini, the measures are slightly different, and more spacious. The outbreak affects mainly individuals between 17 and 20 years, for which invitations will look primarily to these age groups. The Pediatrics Community, in addition to the invitations already sent to you in accordance with recent laws, is sending letters of invitation to all the children not vaccinated, and those who, being included in the age of the obligation, were repeatedly invited but are still defaulting, is for boys between 16 and 18 years of age, that are released from the obligation of vaccination, for a total of 3663 invitation letters two-thirds of which has already been shipped. These letters provide information about the illness and the vaccine, and we invite families to contact the clinics vaccine for children of the Community during normal business hours, without the need of booking. The Service of Public Hygiene, which takes care of the adults, has already sent the first 1700 letters to people with the age above 18 years, starting from those born in 2001. These letters contain an illustration of the disease and instructions for access to the vaccination, that can be free, without appointment, every Wednesday from 9.00 to 18.00 in the venue of the Rimini of the Service Public health Via Coriano, or, on days and different locations, on appointment via the booking CUP. The vaccination is free, it is trivalent, that is, protects against measles, mumps and rubella. It consists of two doses of vaccine inoculated intramuscularly, at a distance of at least 4 weeks from each other, and gives a high degree of protection and long-lasting in respect of the three diseases. The previous immunity, natural or vaccination, or for one or more of these diseases is not a contraindication to vaccination. It's worth remembering that measles is usually of course more serious in adults than in children, and the disease can be accompanied by complications such as ear infections, pneumonia, laringotracheobronchiti and encephalitis. Even if very rarely(in 1 case per one hundred thousand), due to the infection morbillosa may develop several years after infection, a panencefalite sclerosing subacute as a result, late of the disease, with a time course very serious. “It is obvious highlights Raffaella Angelini, the director of the department of public Health of the Ausl Romagna – such as vaccination represents a fundamental defence for the protection of the individual and of the community. In the face of a very difficult situation, in particular in Romagna, so we decided to turn these special measures, with the aim of approaching, as far as possible to the threshold of the so-called ‘immunity, and of the flock’, thanks to which you can also protect those people who, suffering from some diseases, are not in a position to vaccinate and that, in this situation, are greatly at risk”.",44,"italy"

"34414","Measles is a highly-contagious viral disease that is common in children and often identified by the measles rash.  According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), the number of cases in Europe last year reached highest number for a decade.  Despite the increase in children being vaccinated, Public Health England (PHE) data shows that a total of 913 cases of measles were registered between January and October 2018 in England and Wales.  If your child is not vaccinated, then there is a 90 per cent chance they will contract measles themselves if exposed to someone already infected.  Even in the UK, where medical aid is highly developed, one in every 15 children with measles will have complications – which can sometimes be fatal.  If you’re worried that you or your child may have contracted measles have a read through the guide below…  Measles symptoms  Much like the common cold, measles usually starts with a cough and feeling generally unwell. Key symptoms to look out for initially are:  Runny nose  Sneezing  Coughing  Sensitivity to light  Sore or swollen red eyes  Fever  Aches and pains  Loss of appetite  Small grey-white spots on the inside of the cheeks  Following these common symptoms a rash will usually develop after a couple of days. This will be made up of small reddish brown spots, which may join together in blotches or patches. Look out for it on the neck and head, as it usually starts on these areas.  Measles treatment  If you suspect you or you child has measles you should see your doctor immediately. Call ahead in case your doctors’ surgery needs to make arrangements to minimise the risk of spreading the disease.  Once your doctor has confirmed the diagnosis there are a few things you can do to relieve the symptoms. Try:  Using paracetamol or ibuprofen to bring down a high temperature or fever and relieve aches or pains  Drink plenty of fluids to make sure your child doesn’t dehydrate with a fever and to keep their throat comfortable  Treat sore eyes with a cotton ball soaked in warm water and hold over their eyelids to clean away crustiness  Keep lights dimmed and curtains closed if their eyes are aching  If your child has cold-like symptoms too, then treat as you normally would. Warm baths and plenty of fluids will help keep them comfortable.  Measles complications    If complications do arise in those suffering from measles it can be potentially life-threatening, so it’s really important to look out for the signs and symptoms of this.  If your child has a shortness of breath, sharp chest pains, is coughing up blood, feels drowsy or confused, or they’re having fits then the NHS advise taking your child straight to A&E or calling and ambulance on 999.

This usually lasts about 7-10 days after the first symptoms appear but seek specific case-by-case advice from your GP.  Much like a cough, measles is spread through mucus or saliva when someone infected coughs or sneezes. And it’s possible to pick up the virus from a surface where droplets have settled, too, as it can survive for a few hours outside of the body.  How to prevent measles  Measles is now uncommon in the UK, since the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine became widely available.

"7801","The measles virus infects and kills the cells of our immune system. That's the conclusion of a study by researchers at the Erasmus MC in Rotterdam, which was published in the journal Nature Communications. Measles weakens the immune system, leaving children, after recovery from measles are more susceptible to other infectious diseases. In a recent review in the BMJ Open, published, epidemiological studies had the same research group is that of children up to several years after a measles vaccine, on average, more infections are going through, than children who are not at risk from measles have had to be. The measles virus is infecting a large number of cells, so the immunity to previously experienced infections is weakened. This mechanism is the “immunological memory” is mentioned. Increase in measles, mumps, loss of confidence and trust, and vaccine Measles is a highly contagious disease that is spread through the air. Global causes of the disease are every year more and more than 85,000 deaths. In Europe, there is an increasing number of mazelengevallen seen, mainly due to a decline of confidence in the safety and efficacy of vaccination. What is this, an important part of it is that people will have the disease for which it is inoculated, are less likely to see the seriousness of this disease, alone. It is, therefore, important for the disease process that the measles virus causes it to be easier to understand. The course of natural mazaleninfecties In 2013 it was held in the Netherlands, a large mazelenepidemie place, especially in the bevindelijk of the Dutch reformed community, and many of the children from the religious considerations, does not need to be vaccinated. Thanks to the generosity of these ongevaccineerde the children and their parents were, researchers from the Erasmus MC, is a unique study to assess the quality of the natural mazeleninfecties. The researchers have in these children's blood samples collected before, during, and after the experience of the center. In the samples collected during the acute phase of the disease, they were able to show that the measles virus in particular cells of the immune system to infect. In the pair-matched samples of children, collected before and after the experience of the center, they were able to show that the populations of cells in the blood for several weeks after the disease is changed. The cells of the immune system to remain in the body after recovery from a previous infection. In the case of repeated exposure to the same disease, the immune system, these cells rapidly respond to, and the disease is nipped in the bud. Measles virus infects a large number of cells, so the immunity to previously experienced infections is weakened. This mechanism is the “immunological memory” is mentioned. Together to provide the two publications new evidence that the measles vaccine is an attack against the immune system, the effects of which are a few months to a couple of years can be maintained. Not a harmless childhood illness, but an infection of the immune system, The studies were conducted under the direction of dr. Rik de Swart from the department of Viroscience of the Erasmus MC. Of the Blacks, “Especially in countries with poor health care, it is at risk from measles death are to high. In the Netherlands, the probability of happiness small as a result of measles to die, but as the coverage continues to fall, it will have the disease in the Netherlands are more common. And mazelenpatiënten in the months and years that followed, other infectious diseases are taken in. Measles is not a harmless childhood illness, but it is a serious infection of the immune system and the respiratory system after the initial recovery of the immune system of the host, even in the long term, not a weakness.

Of the deaths due to measles occurred at a time when the number of cases has increased globally, with outbreaks in every region. The majority of these deaths occurred among children under five years of age. Babies, toddlers, and young children are at a greater risk of infection due to measles, with complications including pneumonia and encephalitis (swelling/inflammation of the brain), and also to the inability of the long-life, permanent brain damage, blindness or hearing loss. The studies that have been published recently, show that the contraction of the virus of the measles, you can have the most impact on the long-term health effects, damage to the memory of the immune system for months or even years after the infection. This 'super immune system' leaves the survivor vulnerable to other potentially fatal diseases, such as flu or diarrhoea are severe. ""The fact that a child dies of a preventable disease by immunization, such as measles, which is, frankly, an outrage, and a collective failure to protect the most vulnerable children in the world,"" said Tedros Adhanom Ghebreysus, the director-general of the world health organization. If you want to save lives, we need to make sure that everyone can benefit from the vaccine - what it means to invest in immunization, and health care quality as a right for all,"" he said. There is a measles vaccine, but vaccination rates around the world have stagnated for nearly a decade. The world health organization and UNICEF estimate that in the past year, 86% of the children were given a global view of the first dose of the vaccine through routine immunization in your home country, but less than 70% had received the second recommended dose. All over the world, the coverage of vaccination against measles is not adequate to prevent flare-ups. The WHO believes that the 95% vaccination coverage with two doses of a measles containing vaccine is required within each country and across all communities, in order to protect people from the disease. It is estimated that the total number of cases and deaths from around the world and the region, the report notes that the worst of the impact of measles have occurred in sub-Saharan Africa, where many children go without immunization on a sustained basis. In the year 2018, the countries most affected with the highest incidence rate of the disease-were from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Liberia, Madagascar, Somalia, and Ukraine. These five countries accounted for almost half of all cases of measles in the world.

We need to change this trend and to stop these preventable deaths by improving access to and coverage of vaccination against measles,"" he said. Although the largest effects have been reported in the world's poorest countries, some rich countries also have to fight outbreaks of measles, with the ramifications of that are significant to the health of the people. This year, the United States has had the highest number of cases in the last 25 years, while the four european countries - Albania, Czech Republic, germany, Greece and the United Kingdom lost the status of a deletion in the mva in the year 2018, after a prolonged outbreak of the disease.

However, Spain continues to have the lowest rates, because this year we have registered only 220 cases of this contagious disease. These figures are due to the fact that we immunize more than our european neighbours, thus having a vaccination rates higher, with 95% of children vaccinated. In fact, all the cases of measles that exist in Spain are people who have brought the virus from another country. Children are the most vulnerable group and hence the importance of vaccination.

The Roma population has specific characteristics resulting from the way of life with lots of travel, daily living in large groups with lots of children, but the refusal to follow certain rules of hygiene and prevention.

"502","by Christian Du Brulle reading Time : 4 min Bad news on the front lines of the measles in Belgium. The year 2019 marks a resurgence of this disease especially contagious. ""During the first nine months of the year, 397 cases of measles have been recorded in the country,"" says Dr. Monalisa Zampieri (ULB/Department of pediatrics, Saint-Pierre Hospital). Much more than the 117 cases reported in 2018, or even the 367 cases for the entire year 2017. ""Despite routine vaccination, free of charge for the two doses of the MMR vaccine (combined measles, rubella and mumps) since 1995, epidemics of measles still occur regularly on the belgian territory "", was recently Dr. Zampieri, in the framework of a seminar on infectious diseases. It identifies two causes of these epidemics: the high rate of contagiousness of the virus, but vaccination coverage is too low. Belgium does not reach the rate recommended vaccination of 95% For measles, it should ideally reach a vaccination rate of the population of 95% "", said Dr. Nicolas Dauby, of the Institute for medical immunology and the School of public health of the ULB. ""With such a vaccination coverage, cases of transmission of the disease are limited. This is what is called group immunity. The virus does not circulate "". ""In Belgium, it is below this standard. It is Flanders which is, in this context, the best pupil of the class, with a coverage of 93.4%. In Brussels, this rate drops to 76,4%, and in Wallonia, it only rises to 70.1 per cent (figures for 2017), "" said Dr. Zampieri. Wallonia victim of the anti-vaccine French? Why these differences of numbers between the different regions of the country? ""For Wallonia, it could be a sort of ""contagion"" of the anti-vaccine than there is in France, "" says the pediatrician. ""To combat this phenomenon, the ball is in the camp of the doctors and health staff. Up to them to inform them as fully as in an honest and accessible manner on the attractions, limitations, and challenges of vaccination, "" she said. A message that was already pass here are few researcher Marie Neunez, of the Institute for interdisciplinary innovation in the field of health (I3H) (http://i3health.eu/), also of the Free University of Brussels. Contrasting Situation in Europe, Belgium is not the only european country to be hit this year by measles. The map of the european Centre for disease surveillance (ECDC, based in Stockholm), reproduced here, and after his report of November 2019 on measles and rubella in Europe clearly illustrates the situation. Over the last twelve months, it is in France that the largest number of cases of measles were diagnosed (1635 cases). Italy, arriving in second position with 1520 case. Societal Impact and economic impact "" If the mortality rate related to complications is, in the developed countries, very low, societal impact and economic of these outbreaks of measles, against which there are, however, vaccine is not to be overlooked "", said Dr. Nicolas Dauby. He takes as an example the case of an epidemic, always of measles, which occurred in Italy in 2002-2003. ""Approximately 5,000 hospitalizations due to this epidemic had cost the social security Italian between 17 and 22 million euros. A figure to put next to the cost of a vaccination is sufficient population in the country to prevent this type of epidemic and encrypted, for its part, to less than € 2 million ""... For Dr. Dauby, it is clear that vaccination is the most efficient way, from the point of view of health and of the health economy, to prevent epidemics of disease ""against which it is however easy to guard,"" he concludes.",42,"belgium"

"2691","In the region of Auvergne, Rhône-Alpes, the number of cases of measles reported annually has been steadily increasing since 2015. This reflects an active circulation of the virus due to inadequate immunization coverage. Since the beginning of the year 2019, several outbreaks of measles have been reported, particularly in the ski resorts of the Three Valleys (Val Thorens, Les Menuires, Courchevel). The rapid increase in the number of reported cases since the past two weeks, and the movements of population related to school holidays are fears of a larger outbreak. In this context , the ARS Auvergne Rhône Alpes puts in place a wide information campaign and incentives to the vaccination of measles to the destination of the population and health professionals . As a reminder : – measles is a potentially serious illness causing severe forms (respiratory diseases and neurological) resulting in hospitalization and even death especially in young children and adults not vaccinated. – The measles should therefore lead systematically to the isolation of the individual welcomed into your establishment (foreclosure) or a cessation of work if he is an employee during the period of infectiousness as soon as the diagnosis is suspected. – In the event of a release or trip is planned, a person reporting a measles risk to be repatriated immediately, and we can not exclude that the whole group would be too, if the situation requires it. – Measles is a viral diseases are among the most contagious. Transmission occurs by the airborne route, the more often direct exposure with a sick and infected person. There is no curative treatment for measles. Vaccination is the only way to protect themselves by ensuring that they have received 2 doses of vaccines according to the immunization schedule in force. A default after exposure to the virus, the vaccination administered within 72 hours after contact with a patient can prevent the occurrence of the disease in a person not vaccinated previously. It can be advocated even if this period is exceeded.

And thirty children are still not returned, because they have not been vaccinated against measles. ""Only the immunized children have returned to school after the closure of a week,"" says Dr Tariq El Mrini, head of the Vegas (surveillance and management of health alerts) from the regional Agency of health (ARS). The thirty children that their parents have refused to vaccinate in spite of the epidemic follows its course to the house. Ten times more contagious than the flu, The school of pedagogy Steiner, is a private institution outside of the contract with the national Education. His school doctor, explained that of the ARS, therefore, is not obligated to follow the directives issued by the ministry, particularly in terms of vaccination. In all, 93 cases were reported in the school of Logelbach, which has 380 students aged 3 to 19 years. The disease has reached an in 4 children. The first case was discovered at the beginning of march, after returning from a school trip to Berlin (DNA of the 17 and 18 April). In Germany, the measles has resurfaced in the favour of a trend of anti-vaccination : in Berlin, the vaccination rate of the inhabitants is only 60 %. Here, too, Steiner schools-Waldorf, that attract parents so-called ""bobos-organic"", are affected by virologists (DNA of 21 April) ... In Alsace, the virus remained concentrated in the center of the region. Of the 169 cases reported to the ARS by the doctors, 151 were up-rhinois, stated yesterday the prefecture of the Haut-Rhin. ""Most of the cases are concentrated in Logelbach and around Colmar and Ribeauvillé,"" says Dr Tariq El Mrini. Ten patients, all haut-rhinois, had to be hospitalized. Mostly young adults, aged 20 to 30 years. The last hospitalisation took place no later than Monday, Mulhouse. This time, no deaths are to be deplored, in contrast to the epidemic of 2008-2011, which had killed seven people in France (no Alsace). ""Measles is an illness that is considered mild, but can escalate with damage to the lungs or liver, and neurological damage,"" explains Dr El Mrini. No treatment exists : ""it is necessary to reduce the temperature and avoid dehydration "". Measles is also highly contagious, "" 10 times more than the flu. Just spend a few minutes in a room of confined spaces (classroom, waiting room...) with someone infected to be contaminated by the air breathed, "" continues the doctor of the ARS. But this extreme virulence is much less obvious, since, normally, the population is immunized by vaccination... Since the arrival of the virus at the beginning of April, ""the curve actually peaks and valleys, with between 10 and 20 reported cases each week,"" notes the doctor. The epidemic follows a steady rhythm. Thirty people are currently infected in Alsace. With an incubation period of 14 days, patients with measles are contagious during the 10 days surrounding the skin rash characteristic of the disease. Knowing these figures, doctors are waiting for 21 days after the declaration of a final case to estimate that the epidemic has passed.

With a good 510 measles cases, the most the populous state of North Rhine is affected in this year-Westphalia, especially the cities of Duisburg and Essen. Higher numbers were counted in NRW, most recently in 2006. At that time, 1750 people were sick with the measles. In some States, only individual cases In measles outbreaks there are large annual and regional fluctuations, such as RKI spokeswoman Susanne Glasmacher said.

"3984","In Europe health organization (WHO) have, according to the world, measles cases tripled. One of the reasons is the growing number of opponents was also in the Region. This is observed in the health authority Region Kassel – but selectively. While the vaccination status for measles, Mumps and rubella (MMR) is located in the Kassel district of Philippinenhof at 100 per cent, in Brassel mountain, only 73.5 percent of the parents their children are vaccinated. A similarly diverse picture is shown across the district of Kassel: In Söhrewald and Reinhard Hagen, the vaccination rates are, for example, at 100 per cent, in the castle, just look at 86.3 percent, or in Bad Karlshafen, only 77.3 percent. In the old district of Wolfhagen, the vaccination rates of between 90.7 percent in Naumburg and 93.5 per cent in the Habichtswald. This is evident from the Figures published in the health office for the school year 2016/2017. As a consequence, you will approach the enlightenment in a more targeted, says Regine Bresler, head of the Department for child and youth health at the health authority Region Kassel. The watering can principle, make in the face of the Numbers not make sense. In some kindergartens and schools in the city and County, the risk for infection is higher than elsewhere. This Video is part of the platform Glomex and was not created by the HNA. The measles virus can not spread further, you must be at least 95 percent of the population, twice vaccinated against measles. In Germany, the vaccination Coverage for the two-fold vaccination was in the year 2015 at 92.8 percent, and in Hesse at 93.9 per cent, and continues to be below the target. ""The Coverage of 89.8 per cent for the two-time measles vaccination in Kassel children in the school year 2016/2017 is against the background of the Impfziels WHO is not satisfactory. In the district of Kassel, the ratio was in contrast to that, with 94.9 percent, almost at the finish line of the WHO of at least 95 percent,“ says Bresler. Read also: 17 years of no measles in Hofgeismar Department of health is a quota to be dissatisfied In the case of children, the vaccination status is checked during the preventive medical examinations by the treating paediatricians. In addition, the school evaluated the medical service of the health office at the school entrance tests, whether a child has sufficient protection. ""But it is not always the vaccination booklet is available, so the assessment of the immunization can only be on the basis of the presented books determined,"" explains Regine Bresler, head of the Department for child and youth health at the health Department of the Region of Kassel. For the school year 2016/2017 Kassel children were available only in nine out of ten (88.8%) the vaccination certificates mente. In a nationwide comparison, this value for the whole of Germany (92.3 percent). In the district of Kassel, in 93.5 percent of the cases, the Impfbücher to the school were brought for examination, and thus more frequently than in the German average. All the info on the flu vaccination ""on The basis of the vaccination certificates mente calculated vaccination status shows the well-established vaccinations, such as Tetanus, diphtheria, Pertussis, and Poliomyelitis over the past five years of almost constant high vaccination rates, both in the city as well as in the district of Kassel,"" says Bresler. However, vaccination against Hepatitis B in the infant and toddler age are not accepted continue to be satisfactory. The Standing Committee on vaccination (Stiko) recommends the Hepatitis B vaccination as a standard vaccination for all children. The vaccination was not well accepted, since there are always going to be accepted, Hepathitis B would be an exclusively sexually transmitted infection. But this is wrong. It could be infected already the end of the game children in Kindergarten, if the sick child had a nose bleed. The vaccination rates against Hepatitis B in comparison to the vaccination against Tetanus, diphtheria, Pertussis, and Polio in the city and County will always be lower. In the school year 2016/2017 88.9% of the urban and 90.3 percent of district children living against HB were protected from viruses. From the point of view of the health authorities, the vaccination against pneumococci ('polluter pays' is not assumed to be a hard course of infections caused by bacteria) is still satisfactory. In the school year 2016/2017 only 78.4 percent of the Kassel children's and 85.5 percent of the children from the district of Kassel of the pneumococcal vaccinated. Both vaccination rates were significantly below the country-wide vaccination Coverage levels in the state of Hesse, with 91.7 percent. Meningococcal disease is a worldwide-occurring bacteria, the severity of diseases such as meningitis or blood poisoning can cause. Also the meningococcal C vaccination is recommended. Since the Stiko recommendation, vaccination rates have steadily increased and in the year 2015, according to the Robert Koch Institute, on average, 89.3%. ""In the state of Hesse, the decreased vaccination rates for Tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis, H. influenzae B, Polio and Hepatitis B from 2011 to 2016 easily, the vaccination rates for measles, Mumps and rubella (MMR), for example, remained constant,"" explains Helen Stark, spokesperson for the Hessian Ministry of health in Wiesbaden on demand. ""However, in the case of the second measles/Mumps/rubella vaccination, the value of 95 percent is not achieved through vaccination, which would result in a so-called herd immunity induced. In Hessen, the Rate is high at 93.8 percent,“ said Helen Sharply.

Declaration of dr.

But the practice of vaccination – continues the doctor - it is also meant to protect those who, as a result of health problems, such as the case in question, may not carry out the vaccinations in fact, if the percentage of the vaccinated population exceeds 95 percent, value, the so-called ‘immunity, and of the flock’, the people who can't be vaccinated, for example, severe immunosuppression, do not bear equally the risk of getting sick. Therefore, it is important to achieve the percentages of vaccination as high as possible on all the territories, or at least the percentage of the 95 percent, that is, in fact, the immunity of the flock”. The situation in Rimini, due to the strong presence of movements against vaccinations, you are still able to pursue. However, “because of the recent national and regional laws on the obligation of vaccination, in all the territories in the Romagna region, the percentage of vaccination coverage has significantly increased. This certainly also happened in Rimini, indeed, where the increase in coverage has been among the most significant. But nevertheless, because of the levels of the past-are extremely low, the average for the territory of the province of rimini has not yet reached the threshold of 95 percent, which would be very important to protect the people and immunosuppressed, like the one mentioned in the article print”. The doctors Angelini concludes by urging: “I Remember that even adults who are in the conditions of having needs, they can request vaccination is recommended and free of charge, by contacting the USL. And anyway we are activating in tight times a active call of the adults from the register of vaccination are not vaccinated in order to promote the knowledge of vaccination, and actively offer the possibility to get vaccinated.

For now, there is a provision that obliges the medical staff to be vaccinated against certain diseases, then the Asur moves from a sort of document to assess the risk of contagion on the part of the members of the staff of hospitals or health facilities. The objective is to arrive at the identification of the type of immunization ask the staff if not immunized from the natural disease. Will be implemented different strategies of communication, training and information to spread in a uniform way, the strategy that the company intends to adopt to achieve the goal. Alessandro Marini, general director of Asur Marche: the government has not yet provided the guidelines aimed at the obligatory nature of the vaccination for those who work in health care, what can you do?

""In practice, a means to arrive at the identification of the type of immunization ask the staff, if not immune from natural disease in question"". To ask in what form are mandatory? ""Still, we cannot act in this way, will depend on the future decisions of the Ministry. We want to only provide staff with all the information necessary to avoid the worst"". To avoid another case similar to the one that happened at the hospital in Senigallia? ""In fact, that case has increased the attention towards that issue, but I can assure you that such a path of the kind we were already working on before"". Follow the guidelines laid down by the central government is not always automatic, as seen in the case of the Veneto region who has requested an extension to 2019 for the vaccinations, what do you think? ""Certain decisions I leave to the policy. I believe that something is our duty to support him, otherwise everyone does what he wants and it becomes difficult to understand what is going on"". Why is so much attention around this situation? ""These are measures relating to the safety of the working environment, and we, on this front, we have rules that we can use to clear any risk. More confident employees, more guarantees, even for patients who are in treatment in our hospitals"". In addition to the midwife of Senigallia, the are other similar cases in the Marches?

Who has a friend whose child has not had an adverse reaction more or less severe to the vaccines? The raised hands are few, because of stories of reactions cannot be explained on vaccines are many. Those among parents whose children have had adverse reactions went to report what happened in order to treat the statistics? The hands are increased, because it's hard to find a parent whose child has had a temporary reaction going to report what happened. The problem is, what the real effects that they will come out with the development of the child will be the cause of what happened after the vaccination? The difference between the pharmacovigilance active and passive As described above is called pharmacovigilance passive, i.e. it waits for the parent to go sponteneamente to report an adverse reaction after the administration of a medication. There are many times that parents, even after severe consequences or even death of the infant, aren't going to report what happened. The data we have today about the adverse reactions related to vaccines obey this mechanism, mean-spirited, playing on the hope that the parents do not denunciono. Without considering that testing of the vaccines follows the reactions on doses for only a few weeks, without considering the damage caused in the long term, which include, as scientific discoveries demonstrate, even serious illnesses such as autoimmune diseases such as ALS. 4 children every 10 have adverse reactions to the MPRV TO prove this, a study conducted in the Apulia region that has implemented a pharmacovigilance active. It means that the surveillance on adverse effects to vaccines are not the fruit of a voluntary complaint of the parents, but a direct observation on the part of doctors. The result? On 1.672 children kept under observation, serious adverse events related to vaccination have had an incidence of 40,69 about a thousand (it means 4 out of a hundred!).

And never, in the last fifteen years there had been a similar peak. Only in 2002, matthias was diagnosed in 109 patients. A resurgence due to a single cause: ""the Well 117 of the sick had not been vaccinated against the measles, in line with the national data that shows about 90% of non-vaccinated, compared to the total of the sick, for the current year,"" explains Paola De Grada, Department of Hygiene and health prevention for Ats as Brianza (which includes the provinces of Monza and Lecco). In particular, the measles has hit 6 people, in Lecco, 29 in Monza and 91 in the vimercate area, for the most part, children under 4 years of age or adults between 30 and 34 years. Among them, have been reported complications pneumonia (4 cases with respiratory failure), hepatitis, otitis, intestinal problems, and stomatitis, but in no case was recorded in encephalitis, the most feared of the severe forms.

All of these are recovering, but the agency wants to remind parents about the dangers of measles and encourage them to have their children vaccinated with both doses of MMR.They are now working alongside the NHS and Leeds City Council to raise awareness of the recent cases and make sure that anyone who requires the vaccine can get it.Measles is highly infectious and can be caught by people of any age, with the potential for the illness to be more severe in adults and teenagers than it is in younger children.If you suspect that you or anyone that you know has the illness you are advised to stay at home and call NHS 111 or your GP to get advice. Don't go to your GP's surgery or an A&E department, as this could spread the illness further, particularly amongst vulnerable groups.The first measles symptoms that you need to be looking out for are a high fever; red, sore and watery eyes; coughing; a general feeling of being unwell and aching. After the initial symptoms a blotchy red brown rash appears a few days later and will fade after about a week.A consultant in Health Protection with Public Health England Yorkshire and the Humber, Helen McAuslane said: “Those affected in Leeds are all recovering but it’s important to be aware that measles can be a very serious illness and lead to severe complications, especially in people who are particularly vulnerable or have other health conditions.”The MMR vaccine is free and also protects against mumps and rubella. It is first offered to parents when children are one, with a second dose as part of their pre-school boosters at three years and four months.Any young children, teenagers or adults who have missed out on these initial vaccines are advised to contact their GP to ensure they are fully immunised, especially with these recent local cases.If you are in any doubt as to whether or not your child has received the immunisations you can check their Red Book or speak to your GP surgery. Healthy adults who have not been vaccinated should still have built up some immunity to the illness, but can also receive the MMR vaccinations.In September it was reported that measles had been 'eliminated' in the UK according to figures from the World Health Organisation (WHO).

The global health body classes a country as having eliminated the disease when it has stopped it freely circulating for at least three years.  While there are still small clusters, many of these are brought in from abroad and they are not spreading.  But health experts said there should be no complacency, warning there were several large outbreaks across Europe.  The news comes just a week after it was announced England had achieved the target of getting 95% of children to have had the first dose of the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine by their fifth birthday. Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland were already achieving it.  That figure is considered important because it ensures herd immunity, meaning the disease cannot spread because of the high level of vaccination rates.  MMR vaccination rates dipped after a panic caused by discredited former doctor Andrew Wakefield, who falsely claimed in the late 1990s that the jab caused autism.  Before that the UK was on track to achieve measles elimination.  'Huge achievement'  The announcement does not, however, mean that measles has been wiped out. Last year there were over 500 cases in England, many linked to clusters of cases among young people going to festivals.  But what was important was that the disease was not able to spread more widely.  During the first six months of this year there have been fewer than 100 cases in England along with small clusters in Wales and Northern Ireland, which were linked to Romania where there is a major outbreak.  It marks a major shift from previous years. In 1967 - the year before the vaccine was introduced - there were over 460,000 cases and 99 deaths.  By the 1980s that had been brought down to around 10,000 cases a year and even five years ago there were over 2,000 cases a year.  Deaths are now rare. Since 2006 there have only been two children who have died from the disease.  Dr Mary Ramsay, head of immunisation at Public Health England, said: ""This is a huge achievement and a testament to all the hard work by our health professionals in the NHS to ensure that all children and adults are fully protected with two doses of the MMR vaccine.  ""We need to ensure that this is sustained going forward by maintaining and improving coverage of the MMR vaccine in children and by catching up older children and young adults who missed out.""  Across Europe 42 out of 53 countries have now achieved elimination status.",42,"uk"

Picture: PA Archive PA Archive/Press Association Images  There have been a staggering 268 confirmed cases of measles in Hackney since last October, the Gazette can reveal.  Share Email this article to a friend To send a link to this page you must be logged in.  Voice of reason: Rabbi Avrohom Pinter. Picture: Max Nash/PA Archive Voice of reason: Rabbi Avrohom Pinter. Picture: Max Nash/PA Archive  According to Public Health England these cases have been “primarily but not exclusively” in the north of the borough and within the Haredi Jewish community.  The Hackney figure is by far the highest in north London, dwarfing the second worst affected borough – Haringey which has had 54 cases in the same time period.  A Public Health England (PHE) spokesperson explained the outbreak was being driven among the Haredi community and particularly due to a low number of children having received the requisite two doses of the MMR vaccine.  PHE’s own statistics show that only 69.7pc of five year-olds in Hackney and the City have received two doses of the vaccine.  PHE confirmed the outbreak in the orthodox Haredi Jewish community in both Hackney and southern Haringey had been connected to travel to Israel last year.  The number of measles cases is likely to be higher as the figures supplied only include confirmed instances of the disease, not those deemed probable.  Cllr Feryal Demirci, Hackney Council’s health lead, said: “I am really proud of the amazing response by our local health partners to mobilise quickly to respond to the recent outbreak – by working closely with Public Health England and funding extra clinics across the borough.  “We will also be running a campaign to remind families of the importance of keeping up to date with childhood immunisations.”  Dr Anita Bell, a consultant at Public Health England’s local Health Protection Team, said: “Measles is an unpleasant disease and one in every ten people who get the disease end up in hospital with complications and sadly one in every thousand die. The MMR vaccine is safe and free.  “Measles spreads very easily amongst anyone who has not had two doses of MMR, particularly children, and this is why large outbreaks can occur in local communities.  Both the council and PHE confirmed they had seen an increase in take-up of the second childhood MMR vaccine since the outbreak began.  Jon Williams, executive director of independent watchdog Healthwatch Hackney, said: “I support the continued efforts by the local NHS and others including the community itself to encourage the take up of the vaccine.  “We know a lot of effort has been put into managing this outbreak and hope the recent uptake in vaccination soon results in the reduction of measles cases.”  Rabbi Avrohom Pinter said: “What we encourage that everybody should vaccinate unless there is a good reason not to vaccinate.  “Within every community there are people who have weakened immune systems and for medical reasons cannot vaccinate, and therefore they could be very vulnerable if they caught measles and it could be life-threatening for them. Therefore it’s incumbent on everybody to vaccinate.  “It is a well established Jewish value that one has to not only take responsibility for themselves but needs to take responsibility for others as well.”  On the relatively low uptake figures in the Haredi community, he added: “We have been working very hard to increase the uptake and that has been partially successful but there’s still a lot of work to do.  “You know there are rumours around. But the evidence is overwhelming that the risks are minimal, and when I say that I mean the risks of not taking them heavily outweighs of any downside.  “Some people are reluctant. In our community there was a rumour a particular child became deaf as a result of the vaccination, and I personally checked out the case. I was initially told that within 24 hours the child went deaf and I found it was totally unfounded.  “There was a case where a child became deaf a year later, but there was no evidence this was a result of having the vaccination.”",42,"uk"

"6418","Deadly outbreak of measles hit the Yanomami isolated to the border between Venezuela and Brazil SurvivaL International: And emergency, the fault of the illegal gold-seekers who [29 June 2018] ""At the border between Brazil and Venezuela an outbreak of measles has affected a tribe in the amazon that isolated, has few defenses immune to the disease."" To launch the alarm is Suvival International, stresses: ""If they will not be adopted as soon as possible, emergency measures, this devastating epidemic could kill hundreds of indigenous people"", The communities of the yanomami, among which is exploded with the epidemic are among those most isolated of the Amazon, and that so far they have avcuto less contact with ""civilization"", but Survival reminds us that ""The region has been invaded by thousands of gold-seekers, one of the likely sources of the outbreak. However, despite repeated complaints, the authorities have taken few effective measures to send them away."" In Brazil at least 23 yanomami indians went to be cured in the hospital in Boa Vista, the capital of the brazilian State of Roraima, but most patients live very far from any place where they can receive some medical assistance. In Venezuela the situation seems even worse: the NGO Wataniba revealed that ""The indigenous Yanomami approached Wataniba in the past few days to share their concerns, and the alarm on the existence of an epidemic of measles, more than three months in the communities of the Upper Ocamo – Parima, Venezuela, and in the region of Ônkiola, on the brazilian side. The alarm is great because of the vulnerability the epidemiological of these people to this disease."" Already in march, Survival International and some representatives of the yanomami had handed over to the government bolivarista/socialist Caracas a request for the recognition of their territory. But the government of Venezuela, though professing theoretically a kind of eco-socialism, oil, has so far ignored their demands, and merely ordered evictions of mining settlements illegal then no one dismantles. Survival explains that ""The Yanomami are asking the authorities to recognize their rights to the collective ownership of the land, as guaranteed by the constitution of venezuela. This is of vital importance to enable the tribe to preserve the forest for future generations. At this time a large part of the earth, the yanomami, is located inside two national parks constitute a biosphere reserve, but a title of property of the collective of the earth would give to the natives a greater security and would ensure the protection of the forest that dwell in the mists of time"". The organization Yanomami Hutukara in march, had already reported to the staff health cases of measles in the area Hokomawe and home market, a region that extends over a vast area with more than 11 communities in Venezuela and many in Brazil. In Venezuela, this area includes villages such as Tokori, Hokomawë I, Hokomawë II, Koaiampu I, Koaiampu II, Koaiampu III, Irotha and Oroshicitta all difficult to acceasso. The anomami the venezuelan pointed out that in the High Ocamo-Parima may there were at least 25 other cases of measles in the community of Oroshi and Irotha and that is what is worrying is that 52% of the sick had more than 25 years, and 88% were males. But no one really knows how widespread and extensive the epidemic of measles, while the vaccination – where is there – the focus on children. But, as noted Wataniba, ""Since these particular communities are of recent contact, have not been able to be vaccinated against this and other diseases that they are not natural, on The contrary, are associated with the contact with the garimpeiros, and, as is well known, at this time of the extraction of gold illegal has a important boom"". According to the indigenous people, miners illagali prevent agencies regional health enter the area. In a report, released in march, the Organización Panamericana de la Salud has said that Venezuela is the first place to cases of measles in Latin America, but normally to be most affected are children under 15 years of age, puts it among the Yanomami seem to be vulnerable to the entire community, the reason for this, their organizations are very worried. Wataniba highlights that ""it is troubling that a population that has not received the vaccination are leaving their communities to go to areas where measles is found as a latent virus in the vaccinated people, or come into contact with other people sick, who are ""treated"" during the illness. This constitutes a serious threat to the Yanomami"". In addition, the Plan Nacional de vacunación contra el sarampión y la rubéola initiated by the Poder Popular para la Salud de Venezuela has ignored the areas inhabited by the indians as the state of Amazonas, which has not been considered a priority and there is no mention of vaccination plans specific for people with recent contact or voluntary isolation, as is the case in many communities of the yanomami. Between the government and the indians, things are not going very well and the organization yanomami Horonami, and many other communities have worked together to carry out research, digital maps and a census which are the basis of the request of their territorial rights"". Over the past 30 years, the venezuelan territory of the yanomami, has been invaded by illegal miners, a phenomenon increased following the devastating economic crisis-policy that lives in Venezuela. Survival reminds us that ""The tribe, widely isolated, has suffered terrible consequences: attacks, genocides, and violence at the hands of the miners armed working illegally in their territory, and deadly diseases transmitted by them, such as malaria, measles, and influenza. Have been witnesses to the increasing destruction of the forest and of the rivers, which has made it increasingly difficult to practice hunting and fishing"". On 4 April the Coordinadora de Organizaciones Indígenas de la Amazon Venezolana (Coiam) and the Organización Regional Pueblos Indígenas de Amazonas (Orpia) have written to the president reconfirmed of Venezuela, Nicolás Maduro, drawing his attention to ""the increasingly serious situation of indigenous peoples affected by the illegal mining activities"". In fact, as to denounce the Survival, the indigenous people and the environmentalists, ""From 1989 in the venezuelan state of Amazonas, has been forbidden any mining activity. However, the miners continue to operate illegally in the territory and the indigenous peoples report a substantial increase in the use of dredges destructive, high pressure pumps, mercury and other toxic substances. Fish stocks and water on which many communities base their subsistence they are poisoned, the courses of rivers are altered and large areas of forest are being destroyed by the miners"". According to Coiam and Orpia,""extractive activities-encourages the traffic in drugs, smuggling of domestic goods, prostitution, and the invasion of indigenous territories by armed groups and foreigners coming in from Colombia and Brazil"". Survaival reiterates that ""Despite numerous reports and requests for assistance, the authorities have not addressed the problem. The indigenous organizations they want to be consulted and work together with the government to put an end to illegal mining activities"". Stephen Corry, director-general of Survival International, concludes: ""When indigenous peoples are infected by common diseases such as measles or influenza, they have never known before, many are dying. Entire populations can be wiped out. These tribes are the peoples most vulnerable of the planet. Urgent medical assistance is the only thing that can save this community from destruction"".",41,"italy"

In the western part of the pacific Ocean, this was the only area where there is a reduction in new cases of measles have been reported. Measles is a serious and highly contagious disease that can lead to serious and fatal complications such as encephalitis (inflammation of the brain), diarrhea, severe dehydration, pneumonia, ear infections, and vision loss.

In the last few years, the coverage rate, however, near 85%, which is far too low. Seth Berkley, chief executive officer of the Concern in the case of vaccines and immunisation, said: ""The global increase in the number of infections due to measles can be explained by three factors: Misunderstanding, which, in Europe, there are about vaccines, the collapse of the Venezuelan health-care system, and the low immunization coverage in Africa. The solution to this problem is that there is, at first, more routine immunizations are to be made, and, secondly, that the existing systems need to be improved'.

In a statement posted on its website, the DGS reminds us that in the last few years the Uk has seen some of the outbreaks from imported cases, which have been fast tracked due to the high immunization coverage and the surveillance system, the epidemiological and laboratory-effective. At the beginning of this month, and the data of the DGS indicated that they had confirmed 37 cases of measles since the 8th day of November, in the region of Lisbon and Vale do Tejo region and in the Wood.

Taking into account the large number of cases and outbreaks of measles in some european countries, the increase in the free movement of persons and the existence of a low-coverage vaccine against the measles, in many countries of the who european region, there is a high risk of importation of cases in the eu, underlines the DGS. It further recalled that, in the vaccinated individuals, the disease presents with a clinical picture “faster, and with a very low probability of transmission (referred to as mva, modified)”. The classical form of the measles, appears in individuals who are not vaccinated, and it is characterized by a clinical picture that can be very serious and can have complications and result in death. The DGS also recalls that, in the case of the classical form of the measles, “the contagiosidade (..) is too high.

In this period, there were also confirmed cases are isolated, with no connection to disease known to these outbreaks, and that they are to be considered. The note adds that in a number of cases have been health care professionals, “which, in spite of the vaccine, have a high level of exposure, that is to say, the provision of care over a long period of time, in the case of the measles”. The DGS also highlights that the coverage vaccine has increased over time, while allowing the Uk to keep the immunity of the group, despite the fact that there are still a few pockets of susceptible” To vaccine coverage for the first dose of the measles vaccine, assessed at two years of age, he was 98% and the vaccination coverage for the 2nd dose of this vaccine in children under 18 years of age, it ranged between 96% and 98%.

In the report, “generation Healthy”, and the National Board of Health suggests that, an analysis of the National Program of Immunization by the year 2017, there are several groups of health-care facilities with the immunization coverage is insufficient in relation to the measles vaccine at the age of six years old, the second dose of the vaccine should be administered when the child is 5 years old. “This aspect becomes relevant if one is to take into account the intense activity of the epidemic of measles in Europe, and the fact that, over the past two years, she has been responsible for three outbreaks of measles in the Uk,” says the document, which is now published, and to which the agency Lusa had access to. A review of the scope of the second (and last) dose of vaccine against measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine of children born in 2011 who have completed six years in 2017, it shows a “multi-gap” between the groups of health centres (ACES). “None of your ACES are in the region of the Algarve, register for a vaccination coverage of more than 95%, proving the ACES in the Central Algarve with a vaccination coverage below 90% (89,4%)”, explains the document.

"35314","    Measles is a highly infectious viral illness, which can sometimes lead to serious complications.  Although it is now uncommon in the UK due to the effectiveness of vaccination, it can prove unpleasant if contracted.  Who can get measles?  The NHS notes, “Anyone can get measles if they have not been vaccinated or have not had it before, although it’s most common in young children.”  What are the symptoms of measles?  The initial symptoms of measles develop around 10 days after you’re infected, and can include:  cold-like symptoms, such as a runny nose, sneezing and a cough  sore, red eyes that may be sensitive to light  a high temperature (fever), which may reach around 40C (104F)  small greyish-white spots on the inside of the cheeks  A red-brown blotchy rash will then appear a few days later, and usually starts on the head or upper neck before spreading outwards to the rest of the body.  How long does the infection last?  Although unpleasant, measles usually passes in around seven to 10 days without causing any further problems.  Once you have had measles, your body then builds up resistance to the virus and it’s highly unlikely you’ll get it again.  However, in some people it can lead to serious and potentially life-threatening complications, which includes infections of the lungs (pneumonia) and brain (encephalitis).  When should I see a GP or take my child to see a GP?  The NHS explains that “you should contact a GP as soon as possible if you suspect that you or your child may have measles.  “It’s best to phone before your visit as your GP surgery may need to make arrangements to reduce the risk of spreading the infection to others.”  You should also see a GP if you have been in close contact with someone who has measles and have not:  been fully vaccinated with two doses of the MMR vaccine  had the infection before  You should do this even if you do not have any symptoms.  How can I prevent measles?  Measles can be prevented by having the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine, which is given in 2 doses as part of the NHS childhood vaccination programme.  The first dose is given when your child is around 13 months old, and a second dose is then given at 3 years and 4 months.  Adults and older children can also be vaccinated at any age if they have not been fully vaccinated before – ask your GP about having the vaccination.  If the MMR vaccine is not suitable for you, then a treatment called human normal immunoglobulin (HNIG) can be used if you’re at immediate risk of catching measles.

"3991","Still, Germany is a laggard in the fight against measles. Children, especially, are rarely or too late vaccinated. The disease is not harmless at all. 2015 was in Germany the most violent measles year since the introduction of the reporting obligation. The situation has improved in the past year? A look at the Numbers alone could be a reason to be optimistic: After almost 2500 measles cases nationwide in the year 2015, the diseased, according to currently available data of the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) in the past year, only slightly more than 300 people to the highly contagious disease. Experts, however, see the issue of measles in Germany have little reason to Breathe a sigh of relief. And not just because the actual Figures are higher: Not every Patient goes to the doctor and not every treatment will be reported. ""Too bad that Germany is now in Europe in light of measles elimination,"" explains RKI-President Lothar Wieler with a view of the new findings of his house often delayed measles vaccination in children. According to projections, nationwide, 150,000 children from the class of 2013 with 24 months, were not been fully vaccinated against measles. Added to this were 28,000 children without the measles vaccination. Metropolitan areas such as Berlin, Dresden, Hamburg, Cologne, Leipzig and Munich, the experts see as ""problem regions"". Hermann-Josef Kahl, a spokesman for the Federal Association of child and youth doctors (BVKJ), pays tribute to but a in the RKI Figures apparent upward trend in the second measles vaccination: ""We have the impression that the misery has passed before, slowly a little will be mined,"" he says. ""Vigilant, you should pay bills, remain in any case,"" The number of children vaccinated after the second year of life only once, - still we must wait for further developments. ""Vigilant, you should stay on every case,"" emphasises Kahl. Still far too many measles cases complained Dirk Werber, head of the working group infection prevention at the Berlin state office for health and social Affairs (Lageso). Only recently, he pointed out that it may have made for elimination of measles, according to the objective of the world health organization (WHO), less than one case per Million inhabitants - that would be a maximum of around 80 in Germany. So many of the measles patients had alone in Berlin in 2016, continue to Germany's measles-capital. Also many young adults, the Vaccine is missing. The susceptibility showed the arrival of a sick traveler in the late summer: He left his Hotel, before he came to the hospital, as Dirk Werber explained. However, two employees of the hotel were infected and carried the Virus in the city. Since it was a rare virus strain that is undetectable, that people in Brandenburg, Saxony, lower Saxony and Baden-Württemberg are affected by the introduced pathogen, such advertisers. In addition to Berliners also relatively many in Thuringia and Brandenburg of measles were affected. Other countries are more: The whole of the American continent was declared at the end of September as being free of measles. Measles are one of the most contagious diseases There have been reported since 2002, only invasive cases. In the USA, measles vaccinations for children are mandatory, they must be taught in school and Kindergarten pre -. Measles are one of the most contagious diseases ever. You can become infected via droplets when Talking, coughing and Sneezing, or contact with, for example, the mucus of a Diseased. A compulsory vaccination in Germany the medical Association of BVKJ calls for years. The doctors do not hold after the great measles outbreak of 2015, introduced mandatory vaccinations are sufficient. The advice parents get is usually the normal screening, says Kahl: ""they are relatively informed about things in advance well and the vaccination want to have in the rule."" More detailed discussions with parents, who generally have a fear of Vaccination. ""You will not come through sometimes,"" said Kahl. Opponents would not, however, even in practices. In addition, Kahl has made the experience that vaccinations are Often only in the youth age be rescheduled if students want to go, for example, in the United States.

"6391","In these last few months is often heard about the measles, a disease esantematica that it is “awakened” due to the widespread and irrational fear of vaccines, fueled by the web sites of “alternative”. We can find out with this article which virus causes this disease, its biology, the clinical course of the disease and how to cure it and prevent it. By definition measles is an infectious disease, acute, highly contagious and diffusive, characterized by fever, inflammation, catarrhal, of the conjunctiva, oral mucosa and upper airways and by the presence of a rash papular disseminated. Just for the appearance of “spots” or papules is inserted between the diseases esantematiche. The virus that causes measles is part of the genus Morbillivirus (which causes, in addition to the measles human diseases such as canine distemper canine, distemper in seals, and rinderpest), of the family Paramyxoviridae. In fact, it is RNA virus of spherical shape from a diameter of 150-300 nm, with nucleocapsid helical diameter of 18 nm and with a genome polarity, negative, linear, non-segmented (not presents that is, rearrangements frequent). In addition, the Paramyxovirus are equipped with a set of protein associated with the RNA that comprises the nucleoprotein (NP) which form the nucleocapsid, the phosphoprotein (P) protein and large (L), both involved in the activity polimerasica transcription and replication of the viral RNA, the protein M (matrix), which occurs on the inner side of the enveloped and has affinity for the proteins NP, and the F protein (fusion), which mediates the fusion of membranes and the activity emolisinica. Finally, there is the protein H, the activity emo-binder) and responsible for the adherence on the host cell. The cycle replicative begins with the adsorption (i.e. the contact) of the virus with the host cell via the protein H. in the following the penetration of the virus into the cell via the F protein, which blends the enveloped with the cell membrane. The third step in the viral replication via a RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, which is due to produce mRNA through which they can be synthesized in the cytoplasm the viral proteins. At this point, the protein and the RNA are associated, going to form the new nucleocapsid, which is associated in turn with the protein M on the membrane, forming enveloped and escaping from the cell by budding. The access door to the human body is the cable, upper respiratory tract, where the virus immediately begins to replicate itself",40,"italy"

"6395","TRENTO. We are in the middle of the ""red zone"" of Bolzano and even more. What does it mean? That with regard to the vaccinations, we're under the roof, set by the ministry of Health, coverage of 95% of children less than 24 months. The Trentino region is below the threshold in each municipality and for each vaccine. The maximum cover that you can't reach is on vaccines against polio and tetanus where you get to 94,1% coverage for Albiano, Amblar, Don, Cembra, Lisignano, Malosco, Mezzocorona, Molveno, nave San Rocco, Predaia, Revo and Fondo. The data (referring to 2015) we have taken from the survey ""Vaccines in Italy"" published by Wired (that has given us the go-ahead to use). On the other hand, the theme is of those of the closest-to-dateness. Yesterday, in fact, was approved the decree on the obligation of the vaccines since kindergarten and nursery schools. It was expected that the vaccines required to pass from 4 to 12, and that parents who refuse to vaccinate their children should be applied to pecuniary penalties very expensive, several thousands of euros, even 30 times greater than those that already exist (and you think that the old ones, practically never applied, they were 150 euro for polio and 250 euro for the hepatitis). The decree provides, furthermore, that there is the obligation to submit the booklet of vaccination for the whole school career of young people from 0 to 16 years, and if this will not be current on their vaccinations or show you that you are still a ""waiting list"", the school must report it to the Asl, which in turn will call the families, giving them the terms to vaccinate. If this, again, will not happen, the result will be a penalty that is very high that every year will be repeated year after year, you will not remain in the rule. The stringent rules became necessary in the entire Country after that, in recent times, they are mounted more campaigns, anti vaccine, made by exposing to the dangers until a few years ago-forgotten, new generations. Because the paradox is that often it is the fathers and mothers, who in the past have been vaccinated and are therefore potentially safe to decide that their children will not have to ""enjoy"" the same right. And so it is that in our Country, a western Country, in 2017, you return to talk about meningitis, tetanus, hepatitis C and B, measles. The latter, in particular, is experiencing a phase of resurgence seen that it is only in these first months of the year are counted up to 2,400 cases of the flu in Italy against the 844 of 2016. And the vaccines against measles and against the meningococcus are among those most undervalued in Trentino if it is true that in many contexts (from the Plateau of the Vigolana on the Caldonazzo, Borgo Valsugana Baselga di Piné) children vaccinated for measles, mumps and rubella are a little more than 82%, while those for the meningococcal to 80%. And the peak minimum cover is recorded for the meningococcus in Cimone, Garniga Terme and Trento with coverage below 80% (79,8%). The distribution of the vaccine for meningococcal C. the More the colors tend to be red unless there is cover And things are much worse in Bolzano, where data, especially on the meningococcus, and measles are in many municipalities well below the share of 80%. Even the spread of the vaccine for measles, mumps and rubella in Barbiano, in the district of Bressanone, is below the level of 70% (67,20). This means that 3 in 10 children are not protected. And even for the meningococcus, this figure falls to below 60% (58,4%) in Barbiano and also to the Brenner pass while Cestelbello, in the district of Merano, comes to 48,20%. A step away from the worst Italian recorded in Molise, in the district of Agnone (Isernia), where for measles, mumps, and rubella are vaccinated the 46,15% of children under 24 months. But there are many Municipalities in south tyrol's well below even the threshold of 60%, when, remember, the goal of the ministry of Health would have a coverage of 95%. Yet it would be expected that the first vaccines (those chromium, and against the pneumococcus) are made in 3 months of a child's life. 13 months is the time of the anti-meningitis type C, and 15 of the one for measles, mumps and rubella. Now the mandatory vaccinations will become 12 and they will be the ones against polio, viral hepatitis B, the infections with Haemophilus influenza B, pertussis (whooping cough) and diphtheria (which for children are covered by the vaccine, hexavalent chromium). Then we have the anti-tetanus, anti-measles, the antiparotite, the antirosolia, the antimeningococcico (meningococcus C), and antimeningococcica (meningococcal B), antivaricella.

"7803","Not yet been attacked in this decade, many people have fallen prey to the sometimes it is still a fatal disease. That it appears from the figures that the Wereldgezondheidorganisatie (WHO) today releases. In 2018, will have 82.596 of people in 47 of the 53 European countries, the measles vaccine schedule. That is, there are more than three times by 2017, and fifteen times more than that in 2016. About 72 people have died in the end of 2018, at the center. The vaccinations, The numbers are in a certain sense, a little surprising. By 2017 turned out to be more and more young people in Europe in a timely manner, two vaccinations against measles and have received. Estimated to have received about 90% of the young people in Europe, both holes. To set a record. Also, the number of children, and that, in any case, the first vaccination against measles, mumps, and shrugged a bit. Estimated to have received approximately 95% of the children in that a first injection and a very high percentage from 2013 is no longer measured. In short, it would have been to ensure that progress had been made in the fight against measles. And yet, the demands of the disease by 2018, a large number of victims. How can I do that? It is, according to the WHO, to be explained by the fact that the coverage of the country, and even within individual countries varies considerably. In some areas, the vaccination rate is much higher than in the other. Have a look at the national or international level, and to the figures, than the roles we usually have pretty average it out. But in reality, there are many areas in which people feel the lack at the center of which are protected, and the virus is still in the room, in order to save it. And that is what we see reflected in the comparative figures for 2018. “Although the data indicate a very high vaccination coverage at the national level, revealing the data that is recordbrekend a lot of people with the disease have been taken as well as passed away,” said Zsuzsanna Jakab, on behalf of the WHO. “This means that at the local level is still a square mesh, where the virus has found a way to navigate to the jobs.” In other words, the success of which, on a national and European level in the fight against measles is to be achieved, masking is likely the problems that there are regarding the vaccination at the sub-national level. “However, it is advisable to have as high a level as possible, with national coverage, to achieve”, said Nedret Emiroglu, is also connected to the WHO. “But it can blind us to the people and the places that we have yet to miss it. And that is exactly where we need to be more to strive for.” According to the WHO, it is important that countries strive to achieve the highest possible coverage rate. This means that they will be required to ensure that all groups of the population, timely access to necessary vaccines, for example. Also, countries need to map out what happens at the local level, with the coverage rate on your own. In addition, there must also be confidence in the vaccine. More and more people have made a conscious decision to have their children not be vaccinated because they are afraid of the side effects, or it simply is not necessary.

Since last fall, and so far, thousands of cases and dozens of deaths that have occurred in the united states made the authorities react, to ask questions and seek solutions. The first, and they responded to my questions, infectious disease specialists and the epidemiologists who do the investigations in the cases dealt with. And they found just that-that the patients, the vast majority are children under the age of vaccination (9 months in the autumn of the last 12 months, in recognition of the progress of cases from the measles outbreak), the more severe forms of the disease (which I knew). In the same way, children are ill-fed, slovenly, of which, however, did not know that there are a number of big report. ""She came in with a baby on the 15th, he left at 16, he came back on the 19th, with the shortness of breath, went in about 20"" ""in Theory, the measles, all of this is a disease of childhood, except you'll never do it, and as adults, we have a case of the mommies who came in with the child to the hospital, with some other pathology, and has had her chicken pox, and she and the child were ill, a child in the hospital. Now, why is it dangerous? It is dangerous because of the complications that can be one of the most severe respiratory failure with pneumonia pretty bad, laryngitis, meningitis, encephalitis, and, of course, lead to death. You don't die from measles, they die from complications,“ the doctor says Cristina Udrea. In speaking, however, patients must be separated, says the doctor. There are, on the one hand, parents of infants from an early age, while they are at it they didn't vaccinate their children, because it's all about the kids for a couple of months ago, they have not reached the age of vaccination, but they have been in contact with sick with measles. There are, however, on the other hand, the parents of the children, 3-year, 4-year, 5-year, most of the people in the poor communities, those who regularly leave the country with their children, then they come back and they didn't even put the question to the administration of the vaccine. In many cases, it is precisely these people who have five or six children, they end up in the hospital with the children, under the age of vaccination to the measles, it is more complicated. ""What do you mean, we have, I think, of the weekly cases, which is shocking. I had recently a mom admitted into the hospital with a baby in a pretty bad shape. She was admitted on the 15th went out on the 16th, returned on the 19th, she left the next day. The last time he came in with shortness of breath, with a cold, a saturation of 78, the on-call doctor was able to remove the child from the failure to see that the baby's heartbeat fine and the next day it's gone. In such cases, we call the Police. The inquiry, as he went away, why I didn't get it, I thought I might be able to do the police station with them. But I'm worried about, we'd actually question whether he made it home with the child, it is not clear that it violates the rights of the child has a right to health care. And then there's three or four kids. Things aren't so simple. When you come to us for admission, you don't even recognize that I have gone to get vaccinated. ""He came to see me there to pick me up, I told you so."". It's hard to believe, including us, is in the hospital, you can indicate through a letter of health ""of vaccination according to the national scheme"". Because if it is the one un-vaccinated, never has a home where he's staying for another 15. The vast majority of patients with measles-they are the roma, more than 70%, and the rest of the kids are below the age of vaccination,“ says dr. Shoot. The issue of leaving the hospital before the condition of the child to enforce the discharge of it, by the way, are common. To this is added, and the habits that put the health and even life-threatening to the little ones. ""I've heard all sorts of ""protocols"" and then I asked her mom what I was doing. He told me that, in the case of measles, pour on a little wine, I put in the quince, too, and I put it on him, the ground beneath the tree, and reciting various chants. It's not until things get really hard I get to the hospital. One of the moms started to cry and tell me that she didn't get out of the hospital, the mother-in-law is forcing her,“ said the doctor, Cristina Udrea. ""The disease manifests itself, at the entrance to the community, at 3 to 4 years ago,"" Poverty is, I think, and epidemiologists, the main cause of this. And here's the ignorance, the lack of health education. ""A strong body easily overcomes illness. If passed, the rash, the child begins to recover. There are, however, the children who are left at home with the grandparents, the aunts, the family of I don't know what the grade, while the parents are away at work. And I'm not paying attention to what's going on with your little one, even though, measles is accompanied by a deterioration of the general condition. Maybe you can give it and who knows what else, to mask the symptoms, or slows down this natural process, and it can get complicated. It is true, measles is a childhood disease and it's not up right now. Appear, however, from about 3-4 years ago, at the entrance to the community, the children were isolated, and taken care of.

However, in spite of the universal vaccination program, there are still those who choose not to vaccinate because of the active ignorance. Therefore, we are in danger now, once again, the fatality of the disease in the country. Completely in vain. FOR A society to have so-called herd immunity against measles requires a vaccinationsgrad in the 90-95%.

Figures to interpret since they are already largely higher than the balance of the year 2016 (79 cases), but considerably lower than the great epidemic of 2011 (15.000 cases). A variation of figures which can be explained by the highly contagious measles. It is transmitted mainly by air, either directly to a sick person, sometimes indirectly due to the persistence of the virus in the air or on a surface contaminated by secretions, naso-pharyngeal. A sick person can infect up to 20 people, against ""only"" three people to the flu. The situation appears even more worrying is that immunization coverage is found to be insufficient.

Employing great means, the mayor of New York has declared a state of sanitary emergency in the district, the ultra-orthodox jewish Williamsburg, forcing everyone to get vaccinated. The measles, the most serious are not those of the most small, Because vaccination is the only effective option in the face of this infection is highly contagious, a single sick person infects 15 people. This is exactly what happened this winter in the ski resort in savoie to Val-Thorens.

"2707","(AFP) - The measles, a contagious disease that has killed a young woman this year, is experiencing a new epidemic in France, health authorities would like to curb by a widespread immunization. Part of the Bordeaux region at the beginning of November, the epidemic is steadily expanding, with 913 cases reported in the country, said the Directorate-general of Health on Wednesday. There has been, over the last month, a third of cases of more than three and a half months previous. One of them, in Poitiers, has been fatal in early February to a young woman 32 years of age never vaccinated. The current trend of ""we fear an outbreak of significant as we have observed in France between 2008 and 2012,"" said to the press the director general of Health, Jerome Solomon. For the moment we are still far of the 24,000 recorded cases of this at the time, including nearly 15,000 in 2011 alone. But the only effective protection, namely the widespread use of the vaccine, is still missing. ""The elimination of measles is a priority objective of the world health Organization (...) For this, it is necessary to reach a target of 95% vaccination coverage in people at risk,"" said Mr. Solomon. These at-risk individuals, it is a little bit of all of the world born after 1980, the date from which the disease has declined substantially. Because those who are older have, according to the ministry, ""probably already had the measles"", who touched in a time of hundreds of thousands of children each year. - 'Do barrier collectively' - Individually, have already suffered from the disease protects at least as well as the vaccine. The problem is, if we do vaccine not, is that it can transmit the disease to vulnerable people. Epidemiologists insist on ""herd immunity"", which is insufficient in our days. ""To make a barrier collectively, in the face of a virus (...) among the most contagious diseases by air-borne transmission in addition, it is only when one reaches this level of vaccine coverage is very high in a group that the virus does not circulate,"" said Mr. Solomon. France has a lot to do to achieve the 95% target. The coverage with the second dose of the vaccine, which guarantees the immunity, varies as a function of the counties between 62 and 88%, according to data of public Health of France. In the current epidemic, ""nearly 9 measles cases out of 10 have occurred in people non-or incompletely vaccinated,"" stated the oversight agency. Manifested by a high fever and then a rash of plaques, the disease is often mild. But it can lead to serious complications, respiratory (lung infections) and neurologic (encephalitis). Europe is lagging behind since the american continent was officially cleared in 2016. ""We now have the experience of countries that have implemented a vaccination several decades ago, and with levels of vaccination coverage high enough to interrupt transmission of the virus. And today these countries do not see return of the measles,"" noted the head of immunization at public Health France Daniel Lévy-Bruhl. France should get there one day. The MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) is one of the eight vaccines, previously, ""recommended"", which become mandatory for children born since 1 January.",39,"france"

""Most of the countries of the north, where there is no mistrust vis-a-vis the vaccine, are not affected by these epidemics"", she said. ""There are still 20 or 30 years, our vaccination rate was quite sufficient. Like many countries, France has suffered campaigns of misinformation and she was obviously very sensitive. The world health Organization looks at us as an oddity. It is the country Pastor, and yet we consider commutes a bad student"". The distrust of vaccines is going of simple doubts on their effectiveness in theses clearly complotistes according to which the authorities would know that they cause diseases, but the hiding in the interests of the lobbies in pharmaceuticals. The main source of mistrust relates to adjuvants and in particular aluminum, accused of causing various pathologies, such as autism, the myofasciite to macrophages or inflammatory diseases. The health authorities and the minister have in recent years hammered that no link had been established between the vaccines and / or their admixtures and of such pathologies. Agnes Buzyn remember that this distrust has rather declined in recent months. ""Parents who have infants and who should therefore now be required to be immunized have become aware that there was no reason not to do it with their other children, most aged"". Some political personalities or groups, however, continue to seek the realization of new studies on behalf of the precautionary principle, while defending the necessity of vaccination. According to a survey published in July 2018, 83% of French people were favourable to vaccination. A number that had been analyzed as an improvement, compared to another study from 2016, which showed 69% only. But the first survey focused on the ""confidence"" in the ""safety"" of vaccines, while the second shifts more to his question about the concept of vaccination.

The other 32 patients are admitted to the Infectious Disease ward of the Municipal Hospital, and it is possible that, in the case of 18 of them, the disease to be confirmed. According to the source, some of the patients suffering from whooping cough. The majority of our patients are minors, and infants that are hospitalized with their mothers, because they are breast-feeding. The manager of the hospital, the Romanian Anton, he's said over the years he has been an exceptional situation, which has worked up until now. Due to the large number of cases, the management of the hospital has been forced to increase the number of beds in the department of infectious diseases, and in six of these patients were referred to the Department for Infectious Diseases in Miercurea Ciuc, romania. According to the manager of the medical unit, the family, have committed acts of vandalism at the hospital, said the medical staff, and three of the patients had left the house without the permission of the attending physician. Romanian Antal also said that they have been taken off the windows of the hospital 'staff ' spit', the medical personnel, being at the same time, exhausted as they were not granted days off, and at the present time in the department of infectious diseases, it is student at the Technical School of Health surveillance.

At least 14,000 people have been infected by the disease, which has resulted in 164 dead since the beginning of the outbreak in April of 2018. At this time, the disease affects up to 115 of the 126 districts doctors in the country, as revealed by the WHO data. Only 37 percent of children are vaccinated against measles --which can cause blindness, deafness and brain damage-- in a country that has 15 million people.

Up to now, the total annual highest cases of measles between 2010 and 2017 was 23.927 last year, and the lowest was 5.273 in 2016. The monthly reports of the countries also indicate that at least 37 people have died due to measles so far this year. ""After the number of cases is the lowest of the decade in 2016, we are seeing a dramatic increase in infections and outbreaks. We call on all countries to immediately deploy measures appropriate to the context to stop the spread of this disease. Good health for all begins with the immunization, and while not the removal of this disease we are not abiding by our commitments to Sustainable Development Goals,"" says dr Zsuzsanna Jakab, WHO's regional director for Europe. Seven countries of the European Region of the WHO have suffered at least 1,000 infections in children and adults this year, namely France, Georgia, germany, Greece, Italy, Russia, Serbia and Ukraine. This last state has been the most affected, with more than 23,000 people infected, which represents more than half of the regional total. Reported measles-related deaths in all these countries, and Serbia reported the highest number of deaths. According to the latest evaluation of the European Commission Check for Regional Elimination of Measles and Rubella (RVC, for its acronym in English), published on Monday, 43 of the 53 member states of the Region have interrupted the propagation of endemic measles and 42 have managed to stop the rubella, according to reports from 2017. In view of these data, RVC has expressed ""its concern about the surveillance, inappropriate disease and low immunization coverage in some countries."" It has also come to the conclusion that the chains of measles transmission continued for more than 12 months in some countries that had interrupted the spread of endemic disease, returning to its state endemic. ""This backward part proves that every person who is not immune is still vulnerable no matter where you live, and each country must continue to pressure to increase the coverage and close the gaps immune, even after achieving the state interrupted or eliminated,"" said dr. Nedret Emiroglu, director, Division of Health Emergencies and Communicable Diseases of the WHO Regional Office for Europe. MEASLES CAN BE STOPPED, The measles virus is exceptionally contagious and is easily spread among susceptible individuals. To prevent outbreaks, according to details the WHO, you need at least 95 per cent coverage of immunization with 2 doses of measles-containing vaccine in each country and each year, as well as efforts to reach children, adolescents, and adults who missed routine vaccination in the past. While the coverage of immunization with 2 doses of vaccine increased from 88 percent of the eligible children in the Region in 2016 to 90 percent in 2017, there remain ""large disparities"" at the local level: some countries report over 95 percent of coverage and other below 70 per cent. ""We must celebrate our achievements without losing sight of those who are still vulnerable and for whose protection requires our urgent attention and permanent. We can stop this deadly disease, but we can't succeed unless all do their part: to immunize their children, to themselves, their patients, their populations, and also to remind others that vaccination saves lives,"" concludes dr.

"36215","There have now been five recorded cases of measles since mid-March in the Swale and Medway areas, Public Health England has confirmed.  Measles is a highly infectious viral illness that can lead to serious complications, especially in people with immune problems, pregnant women, and in babies younger than one year.  The Kent cases follow on from an outbreak of the disease in Surrey, Liverpool, Leeds and the West Midlands since the start of the year, where hundreds of cases have been reported.  A measles victim - Thinkstock (1442177)  Kent had previously been clear of measles since 2016.  Public Health England (PHE) South East is urging people in Kent and Medway to check that they and their children are up-to-date with two doses of the MMR (Measles, Mumps and Rubella) vaccine and doctors are being urged to consider the possibility of measles in any patient reporting with symptoms of a fever or rash and to notify PHE at once of suspected cases.  Angeline Walker, a consultant with PHE South East, said: “Measles is extremely infectious and not just a childhood illness but one that can affect anyone at any age.  ""It is really important that anyone, even adults, who hasn’t already had two doses of the MMR vaccine contacts their GP surgery for an appointment to get vaccinated. If you’re unsure whether you or your children have had two MMRs, first check your child’s Red Book or contact your GP surgery.""  There is no need to seek additional vaccinations if you have already had the two doses.  Because measles is so infectious, anyone with symptoms is also being advised not to go to their GP or a hospital without telephoning first. This allows arrangements to be made to reduce the chance of spreading the infection hospital or GP waiting rooms.  Miss Walker said: “Everyone should be vigilant for the symptoms of measles, including high fever; sore, red, watery eyes, coughing, aching and feeling generally unwell and a blotchy red brown rash, which usually appears after the initial symptoms.  ""If you’re concerned that you or your child may have measles, please do not go straight to A&E or your GP surgery. Instead phone your GP or ring NHS 111 for advice. This may help to prevent measles being spread to other people who may be vulnerable.  “If you think you could have measles, it’s also really important to stay away from places where you could come into contact with lots of other people – so do not go to work or school, visit hospital or attend social gatherings until at least four full days after the onset of the rash.”  The disease is believed to have been re-introduced to this country by people travelling here from Europe where there have been big outbreaks of the disease in Romania, Italy and Ukraine.  However, the vaccination rate in this country has seen a small decline in recent years, putting the native population more at risk.  The national average take up in 2016/167 was 91.6 per cent for children to have had the initial jabs by 24 months.  However, take-up within regions varies, and last year in Kent, the take-up was only 88.6%, which had slipped from 91.6% three years earlier.  In Medway, take-up was even lower at 86.35 compared with 91.4% three years ago.  Dr Julian Spinks at his Strood surgery  Dr Julian Spinks said there was no treatment for measles.  He added: ""All we can do is treat the symptoms. That's why it's so important for everyone to take up the vaccination.""  The clinical signs of measles include:  • High fever, typically increases during the phase between the appearance of initial symptoms and the full development of a rash or fever and peaks around 39C  • Cough, cold, or runny nose  • Red and watery eyes or conjunctivitis  • Small red spots with bluish-white centre may appear around the time of the rash, sometimes one day before, and last for two or three days after the rash appears.",39,"uk"

The increasingly popular tourist destination is home to Africa’s highest rate of malnutrition and low immunisation. WHO figures confirm 553 people have so far died of measles with a further 373 deaths suspected to have occurred because of the virus, but health officials say the actual numbers are much higher.  Madagascar has Africa's hightest rate of malnutrition  Symptoms of measles include red spots and rashes, fever, inflamed eyes, and a runny nose. While the contagious virus typically infects the upper respiratory tract if it moves to the lower respiratory it becomes pneumonia and is more problematic. The growing outbreak has rocked Madagascar despite a huge emergency vaccination program being rolled out. Dr Katrina Kretsinger of WHO’s expanded program on immunisation told a news briefing some of those who had previously received vaccinations have been given a second “booster” jab.  An emergency vaccination program is being rolled out in Madagascar  She said: “We believe that that should go a long way towards stemming the current outbreak.” Last year the number of cases of measles worldwide shot up by 50 per cent. While cases of the virus are most common in developing countries suffering from poor quality health services, experts blame instances of measles in high-income countries, such as the US, on misinformation about the vaccine. Officials believe the low number of those taking up the offer of the jab is due to claims it is linked to autism, which are medically unproven.  Experts say parents are shying away from the vaccine because of a fear of autism  Katherine O’Brien, WHO’s director of immunisation, vaccines and biologicals, told reporters the epidemic was not an “isolated problem” and the correct number of cases globally was “in the millions”. She said: “We’re having outbreaks that are protracted, that are sizeable and that are growing.” She added: “We’re backsliding on the progress that has been made. “And we’re not backsliding because we don’t have the tools to prevent this. We do have the tools to prevent measles.  Madagascar has the continent's highest rate of low immunisation",39,"uk"
"132","Two new studies help to understand how a measles infection, the immune system, even long after a measles disease, lame. After a measles disease, it is as if the ""Reset""button in the immune system down. Two to three years after the Healing of the infection increases the incidence and mortality of opportunistic infectious diseases is so strong that more than half of the deaths due to infectious diseases in children, on the account of surviving measles infections.1.2 During the measles infection sets the immunity against viruses and bacteria for long periods of time out of action, builds up a paradox on the way, at the same time, a strong immunity against the measles virus, the life usually protects oblong against future infections with the Virus. How this works is a major mysteries of immunology. Immune-amnesia by measles is Known that the Virus infected in the first days of the infection lymphocytes directly and have a special preference for Memory B-cells (the long-lived cells that fall after a vaccination or the disease for a rapid anti-body production).3,4,5 After an acute measles illness as a result, the total lymphocyte numbers recover; however, after about four weeks.6 But even then a part of the immunity remains lost, what is referred to as the ""Immune amnesia"".3 The reason for this was, to date, unknown. Now, two studies have been published that provide some explanations for it.1.7 in Both studies examined the same cohort of Dutch children. This visited the Protestant-Orthodox schools where many families refuse vaccinations. In the Wake of a measles-Outbreaks 77 unvaccinated children between four and 17 years of age were infected in the studied group of them, the researchers analyzed the blood before and about 40 days after the Healing of the measles disease. The two Works were able to show that a measles infection brings only the Pool of naive B cells in the bone marrow of a mess, but also Memory B cells extinguishes, directed against already-made or inoculated pathogens. In animal experiments, the researchers were able to show, moreover, that in accordance with the measles, the immunity against known pathogens, for example, by a flu vaccination, is not as pronounced as before (precise study description: see the box below).1,7 ""After the measles childhood vaccination"" Prior to the introduction of the measles vaccine to every child suffered a repeat of the measles infection. Thanks to vaccination, measles cases were reduced between the years 2000 and 2017, by 80 percent, which saved an estimated 21.1 million people. Alone the reduced Impfhäufigkeit the last few years has led to a 300 percent increase in global measles infections since 2018.8, Due to a combination of ""successful"" opponents campaigns of past years, unvaccinated communities, and a limited access to vaccinations, the measles infected continue annually worldwide, more than seven million people, of which more than 100.000.8,9,10 die ""A good vaccine with the measles vaccine would not only help to avoid the many dead each year going directly to the account of the measles, but also to avoid Immune-amnesia, which will potentially be additional hundreds of thousands of people per year, costing the lives of"", the authors emphasize one of the two studies and indicate the additional benefits for the health sector by preventing additional infectious diseases.1 In an accompanying Interview, advises study leader Dr. Michael J. Mina, PhD, Harvard School of Public Health, patients for the measles infection, once again against childhood infections to immunize, to the lost of the antibody Pool to the jumps to help. Mechanisms of Immune-amnesia, The two studies appeared in the beginning of October in the magazines Science and Science Immunology. ""Meaningful"" anti-body get lost In the Science Study1, a research group from the Harvard School of Public Health used a special Tool that can detect antibodies against thousands of viral and microbial antigens in the blood (VirScan). So you discovered that a measles infection between 11 and 73 per cent of the antibody resulted in the death of Repertoires of the examined children, which led to a drop in the antibody titers against various infectious agents. As a comparison, they looked at the small children before and after their first measles-Mumps-rubella vaccination: you have no antibody depletion took place in the same period of time. Macaques, the researchers with measles infected, lost 60 percent of their antibodies, which were produced five months after infection, yet again. Some of the affected children had at the time of the second investigation of anti-body titers against some infectious diseases. It was, however, of a highly contagious pathogens, such as Adenovirus C, or Influenza A, and the researchers saw that children's bodies with existing anti-either in the Region or lived in the same school visited. They conjectured, therefore, that a reconstruction of antibodies is possible, but re-exposure to the Pathogen was required. Such would only take months, or years, but could also entail significant health risks – an inflammation of the middle ear is a high price to pay for a recovery of the pneumococcal-antibody. B-cell-Receptor Repertoire is disrupted In the Science of Immunology-the study managed to explain the mechanisms of B-cell loss.7 The genetic composition of the B-cell receptor reveals a lot about the history of the institution: During their maturation in the bone marrow, the immature B-form cell from precursors by the Rearrangement of genetic variants of Immunoglobulin receptors, leading to Negative or positive selection of the cell. B-cells that recognize, too little or the body's own proteins to be sorted out. Following maturity, will be dismissed, ""naive"" B-cells, which have not seen Antigen. Naive B-cells recognize their Antigen in the periphery, they share strong, and their B-cell Receptor genes can undergo a ""class switch"" to not allow the B cell to form only the ""unreifere"" IgD, but also additional immunoglobulins such as IgA or IgG. You can also become Memory B-cells, which can make in the course of the so-called affinity maturation, a further mutation of their B-cell receptor genes by. The researchers from the British Wellcome Sanger Institute sequenced the Repertoire of B-cell-Receptor genes of naive and B Memory cells, that was in the blood of patients before and after the measles infection is present. They saw that it had changed after the measles Immunoglobulin Receptor Repertoires of the two compartments: the Receptor repertoire had recovered in the naive B-cells after the recovery of the lymphocytes, only incomplete. In addition, the receptors of the naive B showed cells genetic evidence for a higher Immaturity. Also in the Memory-B-cells there were after the measles changes. While control subjects, who had undergone either no measles infection or vaccination against Influenza, had received, the composition of the B-cell classes over the study period was very stable, had a B-Memory-cells of measles patients a significantly lower incidence of IgD - and more often IgG1 and IgG2 receptors, which suggests that more cells had undergone a class switch. The genetic diversity of B cell receptors was not decreased in the process, interestingly, but in contrast even increased. The authors suggest that a Re-filling of the Memory B-cell Pools with the new B-cells could have with short-lived polyreaktiven B-cells took place. As well as the researchers from the Science work, the group showed a Depletion of Memory B-cell clones, which were incurred in the course of already previous infections or vaccinations. In animal experiments they saw, moreover, that ferrets that had been vaccinated against the flu, had lost to an infection with the measles-like canine distemper virus, your antibodies against the flu virus, and an influenza infection with higher virus titers and more severe symptoms developed.

For this purpose, your doctor will ask you various questions about your state of health and your medical history or those of your child If it finds a counter-indication with a temporary vaccination, it will be delayed. If it finds a counter-indication final (situation rendering the administration of the vaccine permanently impossible), it will mention on your health book. Your doctor will ask you in particular about the possible allergies. An allergy to any components of the vaccine may, indeed, lead to a severe reaction, potentially fatal : anaphylaxis. This complication allergic to the vaccination, however, is very rare. >> What is an anaphylactic reaction ? The MMR vaccine is contraindicated in the following cases : known Allergy to neomycin or any component of the vaccine or to any component of the vaccine, immune deficiencies, whether congenital or acquired, affecting the cellular immunity (in children born to mothers infected by HIV, the vaccination should be delayed as long as we do not know the hiv status of the child). Depending on the vaccine used, the MMR vaccination is not recommended or against-indicated in cases of pregnancy. In addition, pregnancy should be avoided for three months following vaccination.

Although the vaccination coverage for the second measles vaccination in Europe is at record levels, is cases, the number of measles since the beginning of the year exploded. How can that be? High vaccination coverage at the national level can mask gaps in specific regions of the country. There are, for example, in Saxony, some counties (e.g. the ERZ mountains or the Saxon Switzerland), in which the vaccination Coverage for the second measles vaccination is only 50 percent. These regions are to a measles outbreak, it can spread the Virus like wildfire, with severe consequences for the Patients, the communities and the health system. As long as the Impfbereitschaft does not increase, will occur in these regions of local measles epidemics. “The picture that emerges for 2018 is shown by the fact that the current progress in increasing the vaccination coverage sufficient to provide a circulation of the measles virus to bind. The data show on the one hand, the exceptionally high vaccination rates to the level of the European Region, on the other hand, but also a record number of diseases and deaths due to measles. This means that gaps at the local level can open the Virus is still the door,” explains Dr. Zsuzsanna Jakab, WHO regional Director for Europe.

""We are working - said Sileri - a possible modification of the amendment to the draft vaccines, while maintaining the obligation to have a certification of immunization for school attendance only for the measles: the meeting point, that is, that measles might be necessary to leave the obligation of vaccination and certification. The amendment - it has explained - does not detract from the obligation, but leaves only the penalty, and you remove the exclusion from school. It may therefore be necessary, as we are considering, to leave the requirement for the measles, which poses the most problems at this time, considering that the vaccine is trivalent"". As at the time of the procedure of the measure, ""I hope that for the end of April to work on the ddl vaccines are concluded, at least in the Health committee,"" he says.

Public health is not only emergency, but also prevention. The other thing is the defence of our hospital, which over the last fifteen years has been weakened by a series of plans for regional health care, to which Fabrizio Ferreira and his party (PD) have contributed, ideally and materially, to support and to implement. Our Hospital is undergoing an additional attack with the administrative acts on the part of those who, in the Region and ASUR, he would like to resize it again, without taking into account its features and its strategic usefulness to Senigallia and for the territory in the district with approximately one hundred thousand inhabitants, which doubles during the summer season. Some of the committees and the paladins of public health have at heart the future of the Hospital of Senigallia, but they do have a heart also for the services and of the health structures of the territory. The paladins are proving to be in these months, but I have always done in the past fifteen years, while You, dear Fabrizio, appoggiavi and condividevi fully the choices of the regional Government to guide DS-PD in the area of health, which then led our territory to be the cinderella of the entire regional territory. Dear Fabrizio vaccines are one thing and the defence of the hospital of Senigallia another. Both, then, are battles that must be fought: IT's the vaccines and NOT to disempower our Hospital! We agree on both, right? Each acts in its own sphere of competence, but with a common goal.",38,"italy"

This commission has found that for the first time since the start of the verification process in the region in 2012, four countries have lost the status of having eradicated the disease -United Kingdom, Albania, Czech Republic and Greece-, while two others (Austria and Switzerland) have reached. This condition, which requires to have demonstrated interruption of endemic transmission for at least 36 months, they had it at the end of last year to 35 of the region's countries (Spain among them), two less than a year before. Two countries have interrupted the endemic transmission of 12 to 35 months, while the rest remain or have been restored. ""The reinstatement of the transmission of measles is worrying. If you are not reaching and maintaining high immunization coverage in every community, children and adults will suffer needlessly and some will die"", said in a statement the president of that commission, Günter Pfaff. The provisional data of 2019 recorded 37 deaths from measles, half of that was in the entire previous year, according to the WHO regional office, with headquarters in Copenhagen. In the case of rubella, 39 countries had eliminated the disease by the end of last year (Spain included), two more in 2018. The director of the regional office of the WHO, Zsuzsanna Jakab, stressed the ""great efforts"" made to move towards the elimination of measles, but warned that the current outbreaks demonstrate the need to encourage more measures. ""Activating the emergency response, the WHO has increased the focus on measles elimination and update your action. It is the time to tackle health systems, determinants and societal challenges that could have allowed this deadly virus to persist in the region"", said Jakab. See other health news",38,"spain"

From the scientific point of view does not fit in the head the movement that currently calls for not to vaccinate their children. Reading about the origin of this movement pseudocentífico found in a research of british doctor Andrew Wakefield in 1998. This guy published a work in which he linked autism to the vaccine for mmr.

After you register 543 cases of measles last year and more than 400 in what goes of this, the vaccine against this disease, it will become mandatory in 2020. A measure of the paediatric association of German leads demanding not only against measles but also against other diseases. Who does not comply will have consequences because you may have to pay up to 2,400 euros. According to the minister of Health German, Jens Spahn, the objective of this law is to protect as many children as possible. The German Government has been the first to take action in the matter but is not the only one who has to deal with this situation. The united states is the country that more antivacunas militants has. And is that the figures speak for themselves: in the last 8 years, there are more unvaccinated children than vaccinated. The issue should not fall on deaf ears, it is very important. There is a problem to solve. Since UNICEF does not tire of assure again and again that it is essential to increase the coverage of vaccines, to vaccinate many more children better, and “create an umbrella of immunity for all”.

"37013","CATCHING measles leaves kids vulnerable to other killer infections for the next three years, research reveals.  Scientists said it explains why vaccinating against the disease, which is seeing a resurgence in the UK, helps slash childhood deaths by up to half.  1 Children who catch measles are more vulnerable to other serious infections for the next two to three years, experts have warned Credit: Getty - Contributor  Around one in 75 kids infected with measles is killed directly by the bug.  But now a study shows the impact continues for years afterwards, raising their risk of chest infections and viral illnesses.  The findings were revealed at the European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases Vaccine Conference.  Lead researcher Dr Michael Mina, from Harvard University, said: “The epidemiological data from the UK, USA and Denmark shows measles causes children to be at a heightened risk of infectious disease mortality from other non-measles infections for approximately 2-3 years.”  Wipes immunity  Experts claim having measles “knocks out” the immune systems memory of previous illnesses, leaving youngsters more vulnerable.  Dr Mina added: “Because we now think that measles infections may erase pre-existing immune memory, by preventing measles infection through vaccination, we prevent future infection with other diseases allowed back into the body by the damage done by measles.  “This suggests that measles may have been associated with as much as half of all childhood deaths due to infectious diseases prior to vaccination.”  Measles infections may erase pre-existing immune memory Dr Michael Mina  A previous UK study found kids were up to 24 per cent more likely to need antibiotics in the five years after suffering measles.  And they were at greater risk of chest infections, viral illnesses and tonsillitis.  The findings come after the UK lost its World Health Organisation “measles-free” status, as parents shunned jabs for children following scare stories on the internet.  Cases more than doubled in two years and the infection rate is rising.  What is measles? MEASLES is a highly infectious viral illness that can sometimes lead to very serious complications. It can cause things like pneumonia and encephalitis - both of which can kill or leave people seriously disabled for the rest of their lives. Now, experts are calling for measles vaccinations to be made mandatory in certain countries. It's given in two doses as part of the NHS childhood vaccination programme. The first jab is given to kids at around 13 months old, while a second dose is administered at around three years, four months. There is no link at all between having the MMR vaccine and autism - even in children who have other risk factors for the condition, scientists confirmed back in March. That's the conclusion of a nationwide study of all children born in Denmark to Danish-born mums between 1999 and 2010. Last week, we revealed that anti-vaxxer parents were holding ""measles parties"" to give their kids the deadly virus.  There were 532 in the first half of this year — yet 259 in all of 2017, says Public Health England.  All kids should get two doses of the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine before primary school to be fully protected – usually at 12 months and three years and four months.  But the number of children starting classes fully vaccinated in England is at its lowest level in more than five years, with 87.2 per cent covered.  It is well below the official 95 per cent target.  Dr Jamie Lopez Bernal, from Public Health England, said: “These findings only add to the evidence of the phenomenal impact of vaccination programmes.

An important role for the memory B cells that produce infection immediately anti-body play. Measles-virus-many of these B destroy cells and thus lead to an immune memory loss. This weakens the defenses against other diseases. These new findings explain the four-year-old research results that had shown a surprising manner, that after recovering from measles infection, the incidence of other infections increases. Loss of information of the immune system due to infection of measles infection weakens the immune system, rather than strengthening it. This can not be prevented by immune-boosting agent. The number of immune cells increases after the disease quickly to a normal level, but the diversity of antibody-producing cells remains for up to five years reduced. Strictly speaking, an infection does not lead to a weakening of the immune system, but rather to the loss of information – a amnesia. No Immune-amnesia in the case of measles vaccination are included Although in measles-vaccine viruses, does not show this effect in the case of a vaccination.

All the rest would be up to the percentage is considered to be safe to get rid of this disease. This is going to change that at least 40% of the children were to be immunized when they entered school, or if 95% of the general population to receive protection. Italy is a country of major concern. As the population is at risk of being infected by the virus of measles is higher than the threshold considered safe for the elimination of the program — and the country's population is likely to have been 9.3%, when it should be below the 7.5% – - these measures may not reach. That figure could rise to 14%. Among adults 25 years of age or more, you can even exceed 50%. In fact, case and the coverage of the current programmes remain unchanged, and the percentage of individuals who are at risk of infection, should increase by 2018, and by 2050 more than 50 per cent in all countries, except for South Korea,” says the study.",37,"portugal"

The WHO alert of which 550.000 children are not vaccinated Advertising to get Vaccinated against the measles for travel in Europe. This statement, which requires a comment more precise, it is almost unheard of in the XXI century, when one only vaccine against infections and diseases in developing countries, and such as yellow fever, hepatitis A, typhoid, japanese encephalitis, cholera, rabies... But no one will pass by the head than to spend a few days by the major european capitals, Rome, Berlin, Paris and London, you have to take vaccinated children under one year and infants. Although, from the Advisory Committee on Vaccines (ACV) of the Spanish Association of Pediatrics (AEP) puntualizaban in a press release earlier in the week that the immunization is only required if the periods of stay are long-term, ""in the case of short trips –the travel-tourism standard– the risk is very low and would not be required any special measure"". In addition, ""the vast majority of the children and Spanish adolescents are protected against diseases such as measles, among others,"" by the high compliance to the vaccination calendar. Europe is experiencing one of the outbreaks of measles most significant of the last few decades. Although the World Health Organization (WHO) has assured that in the year 2017, 90% of the children of the european region received the second dose of the measles vaccine (or 2% in 2016), that percentage increased to 94 in the case of those who received the third dose of the vaccine against diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (DTP3). The levels of coverage achieved through concerted efforts in many countries which, in the opinion of the agency of the United Nations, represent a ""significant progress"" to reach every child with vaccines that deserves and ""needs"". David Moreno Pérez, coordinator of the CAV of the ASP, a physician assistant infectious diseases Pediatric and Immunodeficiencies Unit of Clinical Management of Pediatrics in the Maternal and Child Hospital and the Regional University Hospital of Malaga, highlights the alarm that assumes the outbreak ""in european countries such as Romania, France, germany, Greece and Italy itself is a serious problem, with many deaths. And the number of cases that we in 2018 will outperform 2017, so that it is clear that the problem goes beyond that"". The WHO notes that about 550,000 children born in Europe did not receive its first scheduled dose of measles containing vaccine in 2017. ""From January to may of this year, the Europe region recorded more than 33,000 cases of measles, and, tragically, also 32 deaths. While we have made much progress, this momentum must continue until we achieve our joint vision of a region free of vaccine-preventable diseases,"" says the director of the Division of Health Emergencies and Communicable Diseases of WHO/Europe, Nedret Emiroglu. As explained by Federico Martinón Torres, chief of Service of Pediatrics of the University Clinical Hospital of Santiago and coordinator of the Research Unit on Vaccines Institute of Health Research of Santiago, ""there are many reasons behind the resurgence of measles in Europe, a combination of factors with different importance in each case, ranging from a relaxation in the policies vaccine installed in the complacency of some coverages reasonably good historically, passivity, absolute to the estupidismo active movements contrary to common sense and science, up to the irresponsibility of extreme public representatives that cast doubt on vaccines, promote alternative therapies or until we try to ndevolver to the caverns and they want to convince us that raw milk is the best or ""natural"" remedies cure everything."" For his part, Moreno argues that ""in countries like France, Italy, Germany and the United Kingdom, although to a different degree, the phenomenon antivacunas has been the main trigger for this excessive increase of cases of measles. In the rest of it is likely involving other factors added, as well as the shortcomings of the health care system"". In this situation, we find the deaths by measles in Greece and France, and with 8.343 cases (reported from 20 countries of the EU) in the first five months of 2018, compared to the 10.166 that occurred in the same period in 2017. The difference of two thousands less has not reduced the alarm, on the contrary, because there are countries in which the trend remains to the upside, as in the state of gaul and the Greek, in addition to the Italian and the German. ""We are faced with a troubling situation, and that must be controlled. To think that they are dying people by a vaccine-preventable disease is a very serious thing. That's why the WHO and the ECDC are working and all countries should implement the necessary efforts. The toilets have a key role, especially pediatricians insisting on the fulfilment of the vaccination calendar,"" says Bethlehem Aguirrezabalaga, responsible for the vaccine group of the Spanish Society of Pediatric Extrahospitalaria and Primary Care (Sepeap). Advertising countrys Coat of arms Advertising, And in Spain, how are we? It is positive to see that high rates of vaccination, with an average in excess of 96% (both in the first dose and the second) serves to create a ""herd effect"" and to keep our country safe from the terrible epidemic neighbors live in europe. Aguirrezabalaga explains that ""of course, the outbreak that affects the whole of the European Union it is affecting, although to a lesser extent. According to the data of epidemiological surveillance in our country, our figures are much lower than countries such as Romania, France, etc., where the cases are counted by the thousands. The recent cases are imported, and associated with these. It is fundamental to the system of epidemiological surveillance of the cases."" In addition, Brown stresses that ""when there has been any outbreak in Spain in recent years, usually those affected are mainly young adults, not vaccinated or partially vaccinated with a single dose. Don't forget that Spain is a country with a high population mobility among young people and with one of the highest rates of tourism in the EU"". And, by that, Martinón Torres warns that the situation of immunity can falter, ""the current outbreak of measles in Europe, and the fact that all neighbouring countries have indigenous cases of measles, raises the risk of exposure of the spaniards and put to the test our immunity both individually and as a group, without a doubt. But more worrying is the reason behind these outbreaks, and it is naive to think that Spain is immune to these phenomena"". The experts consulted by YOUR HEALTH invite you to question what has led Europe to be found in this situation that puts in danger the whole population, since ""the measles is one of the most contagious diseases known, in such a way that a person infected in the middle of a vulnerable population not vaccinated, might infect an average of 18 people, and so on. To get an idea of a patient with the flu might infect two more, one with zika to two, one with ebola to 1.5. Therefore, in the absence of a vaccine, this disease behaves in epidemic form and spreads rapidly. To contain and disrupt the circulation of the virus are necessary rates vaccine very high and maintained at the time, it is not enough that they be good, they have to be excellent"", he stresses, Martinón Torres. It is emphasized that excellence in these cases points to coverages higher than 95%, both in the first dose, as in the second. ""You have to make an effort to ensure that all pediatric patients are vaccinated with two doses, because the administration of the second must be greater than 95% to interrupt the circulation of the virus,"" says the head of the group of vaccines Sepeap. Here, Spain is in the select group of four countries that meet this criterion. ""You have to insist on the importance of the health care personnel who should be immunized to prevent secondary cases,"" adds Aguirrezabalaga. But, at this point, how long will Spain immunized against the measles? Martinón Torres warns that it is ""impossible to calculate it. The vaccination coverage is the most important factor, but not the only one. At this time, the rates in Spain are good, the transmission of the measles this interrupted, but we must escape the complacency and take action to protect this situation, put the vaccines overall in value and hinder the progress passive movements antivacunas and stupidities ""alternatives"" in general"".",37,"spain"

Yesterday, the Parliament luso discussed in key policy consequences of the wave of cases in the largest metropolitan area in the north of the country, very close to the border. According to the Directorate-General of Health, 86 people have been infected, and in the other 19 are doing analysis. Although 80 have already been cured, the neighbouring country has revived the nightmare of a year ago, when a girl of 17 years who was not vaccinated died. While the outbreak of the port it seems that begins to be controlled, on this side of the border measles is neither nor is expected. In the health area of Vigo, which includes 27 municipalities in the southern part of the province and, therefore, is on the border, was officially registered the last case of measles in April of the year 2003, according to official data of the dirección Xeral de Saúde Pública, which treats each case as an epidemiological alert. It was in A Guarda. So now fifteen years without measles in the area of Vigo. Not expected to get any, according to the chief of preventive medicine in the health area of Vigo, Victor of the Field. ""If we had one, would also not be a problem,"" he says. Yes it would be for the sick, because measles is a serious disease, but the onset of a case does not necessarily mean the generation of a flare as the Portuguese. Because Galicia has a weapon of great magnitude: the great expansion of vaccination coverage. In around 94% of the population is immunized, which makes it very difficult for your transmission. But, just in case, in the area of health is providing information to the professionals. The preventivistas keep up-to-date information on Portugal and also on the main symptoms of measles. The main effort to inform the health situation is to remind them that they need to know if you are immune to the measles -or have suffered or have been punctured - because, if they are not, should be vaccinated. Because in the outbreak of the Santo Antonio Hospital, Porto, 84% of the infected are health care professionals. So the main thing is to get vaccinated. The World Health Organization had an international plan to eradicate measles, but these outbreaks have given to the fret with him. In Europe they have been diagnosed with some 30,000 cases in the last two years. ""Portugal takes three outbreaks the last year. In Europe there were 35 deaths in the last year [one of fifteen years and the rest had not been blown or a candle] and in this year are already seven..."", warns the chief of preventive medicine of Vigo. In Galicia itself it has worked the plan of eradication, and in recent years there have been very few cases. They are always imported. That is to say, someone from another area comes to Galicia, and here stated to be the case. Victor of the Field does not rule out that something like this could happen in Vigo, because in the era of globalization is inevitable, but it is not given more importance. Because the basis of the plan to end the measles is the vaccine, and in Galicia is high. So even if you get a case, you do not have to be extended. An infected reaches 16 In countries such as Italy and France have imposed mandatory vaccination because there's less coverage and there has been strong shoots. The problem of measles is that it is very contagious. Epidemiologists handle an index of infection for each infected person. ""The ebola is 1.8 people or fewer for each infected",37,"spain"

The disease is in epidemic outbreak in Greece, as in other countries of Europe, and the cases have exceeded the 160 and is expected to further increase, experts point out that vaccination is a one-way street. The... of our lord preparation of the mixed vaccine of measles-mumps-rubella (MMR vaccine) or in the form of <U+03C4><U+03C1><U+03B9><U+03B4><U+03CD><U+03BD><U+03B1>µ<U+03BF><U+03C5> (measles-mumps-rubella) or <U+03C4><U+03B5><U+03C4><U+03C1><U+03B1><U+03B4><U+03CD><U+03BD><U+03B1>µ<U+03BF><U+03C5> vaccine (measles-mumps-rubella-varicella). The vaccine is released, containing live, attenuated measles virus that is grown in chick embryo cells. In our country marketed vaccines contain strains Edmonston (M-M-R VAX PRO) and Schwartz (PRIORIX and PRIORIX-TETRA). Yesterday's directive of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), provides that, in accordance with the National Immunization Schedule, children, adolescents, and adults born after 1970 and does not have a history of measles should be vaccinated with 2 doses of vaccine for measles to be considered protected against the disease. The vaccine is recommended to be done subcutaneously in two doses. With regard to children, the general directive is that it should be at the age of 12-15 months and 4-6 years. However, in cases of an outbreak or epidemic of measles, such as the current and in Greece, the instructions change: the vaccination of the child population should be made at the age of 12 months and then needs re-vaccination with the MMR at age 15 months. In addition, the vaccine should be do the teenagers probably have received only one dose, but all those who are born after the 1970's as that decade was released the vaccine and is likely to have been vaccinated with this or may not have been diagnosed with measles, so they don't have immunity. In Greece, the measles began to circulate in commerce in the early 1970s, he joined the National immunization program in 1981 and in 1989 was incorporated as a triple vaccine, measles-mumps-rubella (MMR). In 1991 was established the 2nd dose of MMR at the age of 11-12 years and since 1999 she is at the age of 4-6 years. The vaccine ensures long-term immunity and has been found that in children who were vaccinated at age 15 months, this amounts to a rate of 98%, while if you were vaccinated at the age of 12 months, the percentage is 95%. Most of the children who did not develop antibodies after the first dose, respond to the second dose, that 99% of vaccinated with two doses of children present antibody response indicative of immunity to measles. When it is not appropriate vaccination for measles, The administration of the vaccine should always be done in consultation with a doctor, a pediatrician, as long as it is for children or another doctor as long as it is for adults. The vaccine against measles is contraindicated in the following cases: · In patients with immunosuppression.

The for 89.994 cases of measles in 48 european countries in the first half of 2019, a number more than twice that recorded over the corresponding period of last year (44.175) and already higher than that for the whole of last year (84.462). The WHO adds in his report that on the basis of the data for 2018, no longer stops to consider the UK, Greece, Czech republic and Albania, countries where the disease has been ""eliminated"". In the UK, there were 953 cases of the 2018 (and other 489 from 1 January 2019), in Greece 2.193 (28), in Albania 1.466 (475) and in the Czech republic 217 (569). The phenomenon is recorded in all other regions of the world except the american continent, underlines the service of the united nations, with the incidence of the disease, which can be easily treated with vaccines and can kill or leave disabled children, but grow on a global scale in 365.000, a level which is the highest since 2006. Kate O'brien of WHICH he blamed the responsibility for the problem on the inadequacies of national health systems and the misinformation about vaccines, and urged the social networking sites and any web-based community to ensure that it offers accurate information for the prevention of the highly infectious disease. ""We are slipping backwards, we're on the wrong road"", castigated O'brien, director of the department of which is responsible for the immunization and vaccines, during a Press conference. ""We keep track of a particularly worrying trend, all regions experience an increase in cases of measles before the area of the american continent, which recorded a slight decrease,"" he continued. On a global scale, there were almost three times the confirmed cases of measles from January to July this year than in the corresponding period of 2018, underlines in his report THAT: almost 365.000, the more than 2006, and this number is only a fraction of 6,7 million suspected cases.

The largest epidemics have broken out and continue to wreak havoc are those in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (155.460 cases), Madagascar (127.454) and in Ukraine (54.246), notes the WHO. In the US, there were 1.215 outbreaks of measles in 30 States, an epidemic that marked the worst since 1992, pointed to federal health officials Monday. According to experts, the virus is spreading especially among children who go to schools and the parents don't have to vaccinate. Global survey published in June showed that confidence in the vaccine is highest in the poorest countries, but decreasing in richer countries, where spread the skepticism. ""Indeed we see the misinformation [about the vaccines] as a growing threat,"" said O'brien. ""We call on companies that have social networking sites, communities, their leaders, the people who are placed in public, to ensure that they give accurate, valid, scientifically reliable information,"" he insisted.

Still Thousands of cases in Europe, there were 35 deaths due to the often incorrectly as “harmless”, to be referred to virus infection. This experts reported on Saturday at the Austrian immunization day, with around 800 participants in Vienna. Measles should be eradicated since 2015 in Austria, The measles is by vaccination, in principle, worldwide ausrottbare disease. In Austria as in the rest of Europe – it should be according to the WHO, since 2015 exterminated. However, the Situation looks quite different. “In Romania, there were 2017, more than 8,000 cases, in Italy more than 4.850,” said the Vienna Virologist Heidemarie Holzmann (University of Vienna) to the APA. In Germany, more than 900 diseases have been registered. Really, the disease would be curbed only if the would be through vaccination rate in children more than 95 percent.

It can be about the twelve years after an infection in infancy or toddler age to a progressive and, in any case, fatal inflammation of the brain. Formerly the frequency was adopted with one case among 10,000 to 100,000 measles infections. According to recent findings, this Rate is expected to be approximately one to 1,700, in children, in the infancy of developing even higher. About a quarter of the children with measles is admitted in a hospital.

"762","Thanks to vaccination smallpox was eradicated several years, experts expect a small measles (measles) will also remain in the past, but from 2017. here often bursting with new and new measles outbreak, and the main reason is the propaganda against vaccines. Many people advertise against vaccines, not familiar with the real facts, so we decided today to break some popular myths that share antimacchia. Myth # 1: In my country/in my city there are no cases of measles. Why vaccinated? Even if you have not heard that a measles epidemic in the country, how can you be sure that the virus is not transmitted from someone a tourist? According to statistics, if 10 auxiliray people meet up with 1 infected with the measles virus, 9 of them will get sick, and 1 will have serious complications. It is important to understand how useful vaccines against such infectious diseases. In 1968, the UK began to use the vaccine against measles. Thanks to her 20 million were infected and 1,500 people were still alive. Because of the propaganda in the last years the cases of measles in the UK more than those in the 90-ies. In 2018. there are 966 cases of measles. More than cases has not been vaccinated, and most of the young people, 15-18 years, who missed the first blow as children. 30% of those ended up in the hospital with complications. Myth # 2: Even if vaccinated, will not be razbolelas. It is true that no vaccine provides 100 percent immunity, but the vaccine against measles success is 93-97%. The remaining 3-7%, not a reason to refuse vaccines. Recently one mom shocked everyone in Facebook, asking: ""3-year-old daughter after a certain time, and in the city I the epidemic of measles. How to protect yourself?“ Myth # 3: Vaccinations cause autism. In the mid 90-ies gastroenterology Andrew Wakefield published his study in the renowned journal The Lancet, which claimed that found a link between combined vaccines against measles, mumps and rubella and the development of autism. In addition, he said vaccinated children more likely to suffer from stomach problems. At this time, Wakefield has a patent for the vaccine against measles, mumps and rubella, which were not United. Thus, it becomes clear that his study of successful manipulation against combination vaccines. Regardless, people in the US and UK start are less likely to be vaccinated and all were worried. Scientists are beginning to seek what is truth, and pass the research test. In 1999 published a study conducted with 500 children. The link between vaccines and autism is not open. But to be more sure, 2 years later, scientists conducted a new study, this time for 10 000 children. In Denmark conducted a study with 537 000 children in Finland a study of 535 000 children. Not only that no one could repeat the results of Wakefield, but they can't even find any connection between vaccines and autism. Later in the Lancet deny the Wakefield study and they themselves consider it ""wrong"", the then editor, Dr Richard Horton claims that the lawyers who conducted the case against some of the vaccine manufacturers had paid Wakefield to publish such a statement. In 2010 Wakefield to pick it up, but in the practice of medicine, as the study consider it a great harm on children's health. In 2011, of course, that of the 12 children mentioned in the study of Wakefield, the 2 most manifest any symptoms of autism after being vaccinated, rather than 8, according to Wakefield. At least 2 of the 12 children had developmental problems before the vaccination, while Wakefield claimed that vaccination was completely ""normal"". In addition, of course, that none of the children had not shown symptoms of autism, atypical colitis and the like in the first days after combined vaccines, and the Wakefield claimed that 6 of the 12 children showed the symptoms of colitis and autism in the first days after vaccination. Although the study it turns out to be false, the damage had been done and significantly departs from all types of vaccines. Myth # 4: the Child's body cannot tolerate multiple injections. Before they turn 2 years old, small children, they are placed about 10 different vaccines. Some parents fear that many vaccines are harmful to the child's body because he just can't cope with them. They believe that any injection full of dangerous bacteria that destroy the immune system of the child. This, of course, is not true. Vaccines contain weakened viruses or bacteria that rarely cause complications. They learn the immune system how to fight the infection. Although the number of recommended vaccines has increased, current vaccines contain fewer pathogens compared to 40 years ago. So they pass more easily than the body of the patient, and complications are very rare. There is something, in fact, the risk of adverse vaccine reactions increases with age. So no need to worry that the child must first grow to vaccinate. Myth # 5: Vaccines are just a placebo. There are enough scientific studies that prove that vaccines really work. Their principle of action, as a rule, is the following: Vaccines contain weakened forms of the virus or bacteria. They cause the body to produce antibodies and create immunity against the disease. Myth # 6: Essential oils are just as effective. Very antakshri prefer essential oils before vaccines because they are ""natural"", but this does not mean that they are 100% safe and effective against such serious diseases. Aromatherapy definitely has its advantages, but essential oils are not a panacea and can not protect you from measles or other contagious disease. They can help relieve some symptoms, but they can't heal you. Myth # 7: Vaccines easy way of dressing that uses guerciotti people. Indeed, there are companies ""drugs"" that people use, for example, those that sell homeopathic remedies or teas for detox, but according to statistics a lot of money on medication that you use frequently, and not in the vaccines are once a year or every few years. The pharmaceutical industry makes hundreds of billions per year, but revenues from vaccinations 2013. only approximately 1.82% of all revenues from the drug. At the beginning of the pharmaceutical companies that produce vaccines, even worked at a loss. For decades, the vaccine was not funded in any way by the state, and therefore, many companies were forced to close their units, which work on a vaccine. Other companies even ceased operations due to bankruptcy. In 1967. was made 26 vaccines in the 1980-ies. produced only 17. Then people are concerned about what companies can do to stop producing the vaccine, but fortunately, this is not happening. Myth # 8: Vaccinations contain toxic chemicals which might injure you. The main concern about mercury, aluminum and formaldehyde that contain some vaccines.",36,"bulgaria"
"1606","A younger person from west zealand has been hit by the measles after having resided in Poland. It informs the Statens Serum Institut. ""Doctors - especially in the San - are encouraged to be particularly aware of the diagnosis in the coming weeks. It is important that persons suspected of measles so far as possible, not staying in waiting rooms with other patients, as measles is highly contagious,"" says the institute. Thus it is the second case of measles in 2017. In the first case, one person was infected after a stay in Thailand. ""The new case underlines, once again, to all non-immune travellers to areas with risk for measles should be vaccinated against measles before travelling in the form of the MMR vaccine,"" reads the recommendation from the Statens Serum Institut. It happens after a year when Europe has been affected by it, as the Statens Serum Institute calls for ""a large outbreak of measles"". According to the world health organization (WHO) has the largest outbreaks occurred in Romania. All in all maslingeudbrud caused 31 deaths in Romania, wrote the british newspaper The Independent earlier in the summer.. According to Zsuzsanna Jakab, area director for the WHO in Europe, there is reason for concern. ""We are very worried that although a safe, effective and inexpensive vaccine is available, measles worldwide, remain a major cause of death among children, and unfortunately, Europe is not spared. It is our priority to work closely with health authorities in all affected european countries to control the outbreaks and maintain a high vaccination coverage,"" said Zsuzsanna Jakab for The Independent in July. Vaccination against measles is a part of the so-called MMR-vaccone, offered in the Danish childhood immunisation programme. According to the State Serum Institute is the travelers who are not vaccinated or have had the disease, in risk to become infected - and they can infect others when they come back to Denmark. ""It is therefore important to ensure that especially children and younger adults is the MMR-vaccinated before departure,"" the call has previously sounded from the Statens Serum Institut.",36,"denmark"
"2719","While WHO regrets undergoing an upsurge in cases of measles in the world, the journal BMJ Medicine reports the case of a british woman of 27 years old and seven months pregnant, who had contracted the measles, and whose conditions of health are very rapidly degraded. The young woman is admitted to a hospital with fever, sore throat and a high heart rate accompanied by a skin rash of the palms of his hand to his face. Doctors first think of a viral infection such as the flu. The rash looked like very little to those typical of measles. The measles can be found at the bottom of the list of possible diagnoses. The general state of the patient deteriorates day after his admission. She suffers from a respiratory infection that worsens the following five days and cause a respiratory arrest. The decision is made to perform a premature delivery by caesarean section. The good news : the baby and the mother are safe and sound. The fetus had not been reached by the measles and the young woman has been successfully treated. However, the correct diagnosis could not be made until after the spouse of the young woman presents to the hospital with symptoms of the measles. It is only at this point that the doctors were able to make a diagnosis. Pneumonia, hepatitis and miscarriage Several complications may emerge from the contraction of the measles during a pregnancy, such as pneumonia or hepatitis. In a study conducted in 1993, over 58 women with measles during their pregnancy, 60% were hospitalized, 26% had pneumonia, and 3% died of complications related to the disease. Some of the complications can also affect the foetus and cause a miscarriage, premature birth, inflammation of the brain or the death of newborn babies. It is even more risky to contract measles that the symptoms are not the same on a pregnant woman and sometimes difficult to diagnose. The immune system of the pregnant woman is depressed, the rash typical of measles may not occur. It will take more time for the diagnosis is made and treatment prescribed. The resurgence in the number of measles cases around the world can largely be explained by a number of increasingly important people who refuse to be vaccinated against the disease. It was the case of this young woman. To eradicate a disease, it is necessary to reach what is called the threshold of herd immunity, that is to say, it is necessary that a very large proportion of the population is vaccinated against the disease in question to limit the risk of an outbreak.

While France, for example, just the first death of the year related to this viral disease is highly contagious, in the United States, the county of Rockland, north of New York city has decided the state of emergency and a ban on public places for minors who are not vaccinated. The measure, announced Tuesday, march 26, at the county's website, will be effective for one month. This is the announcement as the most radical since the re-emergence of measles in several regions of the Atlantic. ""We must do everything in our power to extinguish this epidemic and protect the health of those who cannot be vaccinated for medical reasons or are too young to be vaccinated,"" explains the head of the county, Ed Day said in a statement. And to clarify : ""public spaces are defined as an area where more than ten persons are expected to congregate in goals with civic, governmental, social, religious or recreational activities such as shopping, the consumption of drinks or food"". The bus stations, schools or hospitals are also concerned. ""While the epidemic continues, our inspectors have started to encounter resistance among those they're trying to protect.

And in spite of vaccination campaigns and intensive conducted by the authorities, 27% of children aged 1 to 18 years, are still not vaccinated. For the policy, ""these figures say a lot about the reasons why the epidemic continues"". Vaccination : ""an altruistic gesture towards the most vulnerable,"" In all of the countries currently affected by an outbreak of measles, the resistance to the vaccination is in question. Unicef is alarmed by the 1 march return of the disease in 98 countries that have reported a greater number of cases in 2018 than in 2017, despite the existence of a vaccine. The resurgence of cases of measles in the world hinders the progress to control the disease, note the authors of the report. ""This is a wake-up call, said Henrietta Fore, director general of Unicef. We have a vaccine that is safe, effective, and inexpensive compared to a highly contagious disease – a vaccine that has saved nearly a million lives each year over the past two decades"". In France, where the first death linked to the disease comes to be registered, the minister of Health, Agnes Buzyn, has recalled that ""vaccination is an altruistic gesture towards the most vulnerable"". ""Most of the countries of the north, where there is no mistrust vis-a-vis the vaccine, are not affected by these epidemics,"" explained it also this month. Measles, an infectious disease caused by a highly contagious virus that affects before especially young children from the age of 5-6 months. However, at the present time, one-third of the reported cases in France of people over the age of 15. After Agnes Buzyn, ""a sick person can contaminate up to 20"". Thus, measles is ten times more contagious than the flu. It spreads very easily from one person to another. Whether by air, when coughing, sneezing, or by contact with contaminated objects.

The risk of measles is for up to 21 days after contact with a case of measles.  If you think you may have measles, stay at home and phone your General Practitioner (GP) for advice.  Actions taken to prevent further cases:  The Public Health Department has sent an alert to all Emergency Departments and GPs in Dublin, Kildare and Wicklow to inform them to be vigilant about measles.  The Public Health Department gives the following advice on the most effective measures to control the further spread of this potentially serious illness:  Vaccination with measles containing vaccine (MMR):  1. All children should get the MMR vaccine when they are aged 12 months. If any child aged over 12 months has missed this vaccine they should get it now from their GP.  2. All children should get a second dose of MMR vaccine when they are 4-5 years old or in Junior Infants at school. If any child in Senior Infants or older has missed this vaccine they should get it now from their GP.  3. Adults under 40 years who have not had measles or have not received 2 doses of MMR vaccine should contact their GP to get the MMR vaccine.  4. Adults over 40 years of age may sometimes be at risk and if such adults never had measles nor a measles containing vaccine they should consider getting the MMR vaccine from their GP.  Measles symptoms include:  High fever  Cough  Runny nose  Red eyes  Red rash that starts on head and spread down the body - this normally starts a few days after onset of illness. The rash consists of flat red or brown blotches, which can flow into each other. It lasts about 4-7 days  Vomiting, diarrhoea and tummy pain may also happen.  Measures to prevent the spread of measles if you think you may have measles:  Do not go to work, school or creche. Stay at home and phone your GP. Tell the doctor or nurse that you think you might have measles. Stop visitors coming to the house to prevent the spread of measles. Pregnant women who have been exposed to measles should seek medical advice as soon as possible.  Risk of measles from international travel:  There are on-going outbreaks of measles in multiple countries in the European region and worldwide. Most of the cases in the EU in 2018 were reported from Romania, France, Greece, and Italy. Most people who get measles on holiday do not know they were exposed until they develop disease. Unrecognised exposures to measles have occurred at airports, on planes, at concerts, in shops and health care settings. In 2018, 31 deaths associated with measles have been reported in EU countries.  Advice for people travelling abroad:  Vaccination remains the most effective measure against infection. Children aged 6-11 months of age, travelling to other countries and regions where measles outbreaks are reported, are recommended MMR vaccine. A dose given before 12 months of age does not replace the dose that would normally be given at 12 months of age.  Older children should be age appropriately vaccinated. Children who have missed their recommended doses should get the MMR vaccine from their GP.  Adults may be at risk of measles, particularly those under 40 years of age who have never had measles or two doses of a measles vaccine.  More about measles:  Measles is highly contagious and is spread easily. The time between exposure to measles and developing the rash is usually 14 days (range 7-21 days). People are infectious from four days before rash starts until four days after.  Complications of measles:  Measles can cause chest infections, fits (seizures), ear infections, swelling of the brain and/or damage to the brain.  Measles is a notifiable disease and GPs and hospital clinicians should immediately notify Public Health if they suspect someone has measles.  Last updated on: 03 / 08 / 2018",36,"ireland"

Are those cases of people who come in contact with sick people and, without the protection given by the vaccine, circulate the disease. In Italy cause of this chain reaction are also doctors, paramedics and nurses. Cent of the cases of measles that have occurred this year (in total at 30 September were 2295) have been reported among health care workers. The data were presented by the president of the Italian Society of Infectious and Tropical Diseases, the Simit, Massimo Galli. Of these 100 cases, 83 people had never been vaccinated. All potential means of transport for the virus, as in the recent case of Bari, it spreads in a few days. In Puglia the people infected were eight, five children (of whom the youngest is 11 months old) and three adults. The infection occurred at least in part in the hospital. ""It is absolutely unacceptable that a health care worker is not protected and therefore does not protect its clients, avoiding to contribute to the spread of infection,"" explains Galli. The average age of the health workers affected by measles is 35 years, 25 of one of the other cases in Italy, a sign that the disease is not only of the child. Not only are the children having to vaccinate. Also women of childbearing age and those who work in hospitals and clinics if he has not had the disease. ""Why don't they? The response that we receive most often,"" says the president of the Simit Galli, ""is that you do not have the time. For the flu vaccine in particular. If he is called upon to make the vaccine, the doctor responds, ""yes, most of the nurses"". It is not that the doctors say antivaccinisti, rather, ""preach well and to scratch around evil"", however, putting at risk the patients. In 2017, the cases of health care workers not vaccinated were 315 over 4880 of measles in Italy. A rule that obliges the doctors to vaccines is not there, but just be doctors should make aware of the need to do so. However, there are regions that have put down stakes in order to avoid infections. In the Emilia-Romagna region in the departments of oncology, hematology, neonatology, obstetrics, pediatrics, infectious diseases, in first aid and in the transplant Centers can only work health care workers (and, therefore, doctors, nurses, midwives) who are immune against measles, mumps, rubella and chicken pox. The standard is of last march. If that had been anywhere with a case like that Bari would have been smaller and would not have been the last of a series that saw the return in Italy of a significant number of cases of measles, a disease for which a vaccine is available and that, potentially, could be eradicated.

Samoa, with 200,000 inhabitants who live in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, halfway between Hawaii and New Zealand, has announced the State of emergency after at the end of October had announced that it was in deed an epidemic of measles, when they were been reported the first deaths. Since then, in Samoa there have been at least 6 deaths from measles, almost all children under the age of two years. Of the 716 cases of suspected measles, 40% required hospital admission. From 16 October, it is compulsory to get vaccinated for the samoans, who have not done it and, according to the ministry of health, only about two-thirds of the population had been immunized. The director general of the ministry of health of Samoa, Leausa Take Naseri, said that, in view of the low coverage of immunization, ""We are anticipating the worse that will be. The children who died had not been vaccinated."" The minister of Foreign affairs of New Zealand, Winston Peters, has announced further support to Samoa: ""The New Zealand team will be comprised of 18 other nurses for the vaccination, bringing the total to 30 people who will work in Samoa in the next four weeks."" The new support in new zealand adds to the deployment of 12 nurses, vaccines, and medical supplies for the vaccination that New Zealand had already sent to Samoa last week. Today at Apia, has arrived a New Zealand Medical Assistance Team (NZMAT) is composed of 10 doctors, nurses and support staff. Peters has s said that ""on The 15th of November, the government of Samoa has declared a state of emergency as the number of people infected with measles continues to climb, and the hospital system is under pressure. We fully support the efforts of Samoa to immunize its population, to contain the epidemic and treat patients who are sick. The nurses of the vaccinations will support the immunisation programme in Samoa, which is aimed at the populations most at risk. The team of medical assistance to support health care staff in samoan, providing care and medical supplies in the hospital district of Upolu, which is facing a strong demand due to the epidemic"". Cases of measles are on the rise globally, even in developed Countries such as Usa, Germany, France and Italy, where some parents are opposed to vaccinations, especially for reasons of philosophical or religious, or for concerns not shared by medical science, including that vaccines cause autism. Last week, in peak island kingdom of Tonga, about 900 km from Samoa, the ministry of health has announced the presence of a measles outbreak that was brought by a team of rugby players tongani return from New Zealand. From then on to Tonga were identified 251 cases of measles, confirmed or suspected. On November 15 the American Samoa, a territory of the United States bordering Samoa, have declared public health emergency after the outbreak of the epidemic of measles in Samoa and Tonga. Naseri is to note that, unlike in Samoa, ""About 90% of the population of Tonga and Samoa has been immunized and none of these Countries has reported deaths related to measles"".",36,"italy"
"6420","GENOA - The web, the true prairie of news and information, could become more and more a thicket of fake news, that is false information (""musse"" to use a term well-known to us, ligurian as Enrico Testa has reminded us). The themes are various: from politics (with the emergence of the term "" absurd “alternative reality” to justify the information given is not true) to show (how many actors and stars of a tv die on the pages of Facebook, gathering thousands and thousands of sad comments?) passing to the economy (Richard Taler, Nobel prize in 2017, is studying the effects on the financial markets by emotional behaviour to false news) up, in particular, to medicine. According to Censis, nine out of ten italians rely on questions and concerns related to health to the physician, the most famous in the world, “dr. Google”. And very little can the task of debunking, that is, to put in doubt or disprove using scientific data and historical false claims. Can little or nothing because the web world is full of sharers compulsive, ready to spread – make viral – in its virtual context to a post, no sources attesting to their veracity, but amusing, curious, or even born to build destabilization or even hate. Why is this happening? Journalists online are well aware of: to get more views you need to be very fast, beating the time of the other means (and therefore, very often, by not checking the source of something that “runs” in the network). But, above all, even the great newspapers have verified that the information “click” (and then most like to the algorithms of Google and Facebook) are the most extravagant, the most exaggerated. But are those “clicks” to call the advertisers. Often, also, the fake news in medicine are relying on the illusion to find a solution to the hope of healing. Or are intended to verify the therapies offered by the doctors: not at home on each disease are born chat (usually alarmist) where everyone can find the symptoms, side effects, chance of success or failure of each treatment. Except to verify that it is not the summation of what may have happened to others – the unknown and of whom you do not know if you are not in a generic way the disease – to explain a therapy. Research on topics related to drugs and health show that millions of people are always more self-diagnosis, not always or even rarely correct. Just an example: it has been verified that among the phrases most frequently searched in Google.en<http://Google.it> there is “how to read blood tests”. That is to say, how to make the diagnosis. Some of the facts of record, then, have led to a boom in views of the pages linked, for example, the topic of meningitis and vaccinations, or – after the case of Dj Fabo – euthanasia. In spite of the penalty on the sale of medicinal products in our Country increases the interest in the online trade of medicines from the counter, while there remain gettonatissimi the many sites that reach users with spam to offer miraculous remedies, including pills, blue or yellow at a low price. The case of meningitis is emblematic: in 2016, this disease had struck in Italy less than 3 people in every million of inhabitants, and yet the research topics related to the meningitis at the beginning of the year was sensational, denouncing an authentic psychosis related to some news print. In that period, were counted over 26 thousand web pages on the topic, as well as 48 thousand have been those on the side-effects of the vaccine against chickenpox and 30 thousand of those on the effects of vaccine of the measles. The case wants that – in that sea of pages – the official results, that is related to scientific institutions or to the ministry of Health, are, in the first pages shown by Google, an infinitesimal part. The great majority are blog, media online, or – as shown – pages on the internet whose sole purpose is the earning from click on ads that are disguised within the content of the site. How to ""survive""? To begin with going to the doctor and trusting what it tells you: avoid the “do-it-yourself treatment, and be wary of the prescriptions online. And, if you really want to sail, let us at least verify the source, ensuring that the news is updated (often the internet offers the buffalo “return”): let us not stop to the first pages of the search engines, we don't trust the “scoop” on Facebook, we learn to distinguish between information and advertising. *The ceo of casa di cura Villa Montallegro, Genova-italy",36,"italy"

The patient has come to hospital with serious respiratory problems and oxygen saturation very low. ""At the beginning of next week we will make a response, the diagnostic says dr. Laura Garibotti, of the medical department of the hospital of Sanremo - to determine with certainty the cause, but the mortality rate for measles virus infection is, however, an event not uncommon"". The Asl1, who requested the feedback from the diagnostic to confirm the cause of death, points out that, in the course of 2017 in Italy were recorded 4 cases of death from complications from measles, complications occur in about 10%. The epidemiological data at national level show that the mortality rate for complications from measles has an incidence of 0.1% decrease of 0.2%, or one or two cases out of 1000 infected patients. This is also why the health department of the Asl has published a press release where he stated he wanted to reassure the population ""to avoid alarmism and unfounded fears"". ""We are not in the presence of an epidemic of measles: there have been some cases of this virus where the outbreak has no correspondence with the subsequent peak of seasonal flu. Measles, as confirmed by the epidemiological data at the national level (4 cases of death in 2017 on the whole Italian territory) is a disease that, if not present complications, can be treated at home with rest and symptomatic therapy"".",36,"italy"
"6422","One study has found that there is no link between vaccination against measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) and autism. Here is the data. The vaccine against measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) is not associated with an increased risk of autism, even among children who have a brother with this disorder. It supports a Danish study. As we learn from the website of the NBC, concerns about the bonding potential between the vaccine MMR and autism are, remaining for two decades, because of a controversial document of 1998, which stated that there was a direct connection. In the new study, the researchers examined data from 657.461 children, and, during this period, 6.517 children were diagnosed with autism. The children who received the vaccine MPR had 7% less likely to develop autism than children not vaccinated, as reported by the researchers in the Annals of Internal Medicine. “Parents should not skip the vaccine for fear of autism,“ said lead author of the study, Anders Hviid of the Statens Serum Institut of Copenhagen, Denmark. “The dangers of non-vaccine include the progress of the measles that we are seeing today in the form of outbreaks,“ said dr Hviid. Measles, remember, is a very contagious virus that can be fatal. Begins with a fever that can last a couple of days, followed by cough, runny nose and red eyes. A rash develops on the face and neck and then spreads to the rest of the body. In the most severe cases can develop pneumonia and encephalitis, an inflammation of the brain. People with measles can spread the virus for several days before and after the appearance of the eruption. The virus can live for up to two hours on surfaces when an infected person coughs or sneezes. People can be infected by breathing in the droplets or by touching a contaminated surface and then touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Just a 5% reduction in vaccination coverage can triple the number of cases of measles in the community. Researchers have studied the connection between the vaccine MMR and autism in all children born in Denmark by mothers Danish from 1999 to 2010. Have followed children from the age of 1 year, until the end of August 2013. Overall, 95% of the children in the study has been given the vaccine. In children with siblings with autism has been found a probability of about 7 times more to receive a diagnosis of autism than children without the same family history. In addition, the study found that males had a higher probability of a 4 times re to have a diagnosis of autism than females. Then, the children that has not been administered the vaccine have had 17% more likely to have a diagnosis of autism than those who received the recommended vaccinations. The first symptoms of autism may vary, but may include repetitive behaviors such as flapping of the hands or the movement of the body and sometimes aggression or self-harm. Behavior therapy, educational, verbal, and language can help to reduce the severity of symptoms of autism in some children. The study was not a controlled experiment is designed to demonstrate whether or how vaccines can cause autism. The search, however, has added a great deal of evidence that demonstrate that vaccines do not cause autism, as pointed out by dr. Saad Omer of Emory University in Atlanta (USA), co-author of an editorial accompanying. “Any myth should be clearly labeled as such,“ wrote Omer.",36,"italy"

"6428","I decided to write these few lines to you after reading the reactions of the social articles a few days ago, on two cases of measles at the Politecnico di Milano. For the record, I'm one of those who has received the alert for having been in contact with these two people. It is enough to my comment: “I can say that I thank the vaccines“ to start the burst of tone from the stadium, “untore” information, “we've taken all we are not dead!!”, who quoted Wikipedia and chi piu ne ha piu ne metta. With mandatory vaccinations, the State defends its values it's Not up to me to give lessons about vaccines. I don't have the skills, and I don't pretend to have it, to affirm that decree on vaccines was technically necessary. It always hurts when a State has to come to taxation, but this bill, in my opinion, takes on a deeper meaning of the sacrosanct protection of the health of the citizens. And’ the symbol of a State that defends his principles, his values, his discoveries, his wealth of knowledge from a reality which has become increasingly easy to question even what seemed the most obvious. The paradox of a society dependent on technology that denies the science Paradoxically, today we find ourselves in a world increasingly dependent on science and technology, to which so many are willing to queue up for hours to wait for the new model of a smartphone. A world, eager and infatuated by technological progress, more and more unbridled, in which, however, you manage to muck up scientific discoveries dating back to centuries ago. Why is “uncertainty” does not mean falsity, science has no dogmas, and revealed truths, any measurement is defined at less of an uncertainty. Uncertainty is a word that does not necessarily have a negative connotation: it is precisely from this “incomplete knowledge” which often originate in new discoveries . The downside is the improper use of this degree of uncertainty, relying on modern means of communication, to convey a falsehood, wrong messages, to insinuate doubts, and undermine certainties. I have heard troubling quotes from Albert Einstein: “No amount of experiments can prove that I'm right. A single experiment can prove that I am wrong.” All right. But there is only a small detail: in this experiment, this scientific data that demonstrates the pericolisita of vaccines does not exist. The science heritage of all science is not a political idea, but a heritage of all. This idea rampant that behind it all lies a conspiracy in favour of some strong power or of some multinational company, and everything is driven, it is an insult to that community of women and men who devote their lives to scientific research and to which we owe much of what we are today. The climate of the Guelphs against the Ghibellines on vaccines seems to be an ideological conflict between opposing factions, unworthy of a civilized country. And it is a comparison wrong from its foundations, because it can not be put on doctors and quacks. We will be a better country when the politics, all united to condemn these drifts and will not use, alas, to make speculation of the election. The boycott of the skills those Who see in this complottismo regardless of a form of redemption and change, to know that this will not bring us into a magical world of freedom, but in a world where there is a culture of suspicion and the law of the stronger, a world where an opinion that has consensus becomes an absolute truth, a world based on some dogma which is lowered from above by I know not whom. The web was born to unite, not to spread insecurity and de-legitimize the scientific world on the basis of some invention, and today the matter can not be derubricata only to a few unbalanced in search of popularity. When the Presiding of the United States declares that global warming is an invention by pseudo-science, a conspiracy of the chinese to harm the american economy” and make waste paper of the agreements of Paris, they are not just lying to more than 300 million of his fellow countrymen, but it is affirming the principle that a simple “opinion” personal, worth more than years of study and concrete evidence.

"6589","The worrying increase in cases of measles recorded in Italy in recent months has reignited the debate on vaccinations. The problem should not be underestimated, but beyond a few titles too alarmist, the topic was discussed especially in view of vaccination of children. That is not correct, or, at least, is not enough, as evidenced by this contribution, which we gladly publish. It was written by 5 experts (doctors, journalists, and researchers) who have thoroughly analyzed the epidemiological data and drawn these conclusions. As every doctor knows, and anyone else, can guess, if, on the basis of a symptom, you are wrong diagnosis, wrong therapy, and losing the patient. The symptom, in this case, is the wave of over one thousand and three hundred cases of measles that occurred initially in four Italian Regions (Piemonte, Lombardia, Lazio and Tuscany), but that in a matter of a few weeks are now extended to the other. The narrative dominant in the newspapers is that the cause of the phenomenon is the low vaccination coverage in children under two years of age, came down in the last few years due to the effect of increasing hostility on the part of the parents. This diagnosis matches the treatment relied on in a loud voice from many parties: to enforce the obligation of vaccination by placing it as a necessary condition for access to educational services of the child (although this requirement, in the absence of a change in the law at national level, relates only to the vaccination against the four other diseases, and not the measles. Its meaning would then be symbolic more than practical). But the current situation, described by the available data confirms this diagnosis? “The emergency measles”, as it is called, is an emergency of infancy? It seems not. More than three-quarters of the cases so far involve young people and adults who have never been vaccinated or have been vaccinated only once, not for ideological reasons of the parents, but because they are born and grown before the introduction of widespread vaccination, and the confirmation that we need at least two doses. In our opinion, the question is this: “why is it, if the covers in childhood are as low as they say, have so far registered so few cases among the children?” In this regard, we read with interest the data provided by Giulio explore the old, the ancient persians of the Region of Lombardy, one of the most affected, and taken up by Everyday Health on April 3, u.s.: on 86.503 children born in Lombardy in the course of 2014, i have not been vaccinated against measles by 24 months are 6,000, or 6.9%. In other words, the coverage in 24 months would be 93.1%, 1.9% from the target of 95%. The cohort in the previous 2013, to 24 months had a 90% coverage, and this seems to indicate that the decline in the percentage of vaccinated children observed in previous years has stopped. There could be a reversal of the trend, as has been recently reported also in the Veneto region. It is also documented that the vaccination coverage to 36 months of age increase. We believe it is therefore possible that among those born in 2014, in the coming months, the percentage vaccinated against measles, mumps and rubella can move further to the safety threshold of 95%. Reported by councillor explore the old does not seem, therefore, data are particularly alarming, despite the tone with which they were taken by some media. The data should serve to better understand the characteristics of this emergency, to deal with it more effectively. That does not mean to ignore the small children, but concentrate more efforts on other age groups most affected. Finally, also for the vaccination hexavalent chromium the data provided by the Councillor explore the old can be read with a pinch of optimism: the 5,000 non-vaccinated represent 5.8% of the cohort membership, which is equivalent to a coverage of 94.2 percent, an increase compared to those born in the previous year. As is apparent from the data of the Lombardy and the Veneto, the decline in coverage at 24 months reported in many Italian regions from 2012 onwards may have stopped or reversed. It would therefore be essential in assessing which interventions to undertake, to be based on the most up to date data and also consider the percentage of vaccinated among the older children (starting from the roofs to 36 months of age), since the real cover of the pediatric population cannot be deduced from the data recorded from year to year to 24 months. But above all, we need to integrate the strategy, which aims to cover childhood with new initiatives to remedy the poor coverage in young adults, especially those that operate in contact with at-risk groups, such as the staff of schools and hospitals, including all the professional figures who work in these contexts. It is not enough to invite the adults to check their immunity against the measles, but you must be an active offer that will simplify and facilitate the acceptance by those who are not ideologically opposed, but simply, by and large, never would think to be at risk for a disease that continues to be considered typical of childhood.

"8982","Up-to-date 07/09/2019 16:54 Around 7.2 million people were born in Spain between 1970 and 1980 and are the group that the Ministry of Health recommends be vaccinated against measles if they have not been vaccinated previously or have not had the disease, before the rebound of the virus worldwide. Due to the confusion generated, sources of Health have reiterated that the epidemiological situation of measles in our country has not changed, keeping the state of removal from 2016, and remember that the recommendations are reflected in the common calendar of vaccination throughout life. WHY THE GENERATION OF THE 70'S? Routine vaccination against measles began to generalize in 1981 through the mmr vaccine, which also protects from rubella and mumps, "" explains dr. Luis Ignacio Martínez Alcorta, director of innovation of the board of directors of the Spanish Association of Vacunología. All children born from that year that met the immunization schedule are properly immunized. In the decade of the 70's they used a monovalent vaccine against measles but only for a short period of time, so that there is optimal protection against disease for those who now have between 40 and 50 years, who are the ""target group"" of the recommendation of Health. AND WHAT ABOUT THOSE BORN BEFORE 1970? The percentage of people born before 1970 who have not had measles is ""marginal"", says the doctor. Before that year the virus was circulating widely and is a disease as transmissible that more than 90 % of the people had already experienced before reaching the age of 18 years. ""It is extremely rare that do not."" Health assumes that these people are immune by having had the disease previously. HOW DO YOU KNOW IF THERE IS THAT SHOT? When in doubt whether you are vaccinated or has had measles, ""it is always better to get vaccinated"" because it does not pose any risk even if you have passed the disease. There is an analytical proof called serology to know if a person has suffered or not a certain disease ""but it is not recommended to systematize its use because it is much more cost-effective and safe to vaccinate,"" says dr. Martinez Alcorta. The only caution to take in account for administering the triple viral is, in the case of a woman, if you are pregnant and if the person has a chronic condition that results in immunosuppression, or is allergic to any component of the vaccine. WHAT TO DO TO GET THE VACCINE? If it has been born in the years 70, there is to go to the health center for the medical advice. In the event you need to get the vaccine, the vaccine is ""completely safe, highly effective, and is free"". It is a vaccine of live attenuated virus and is administered in two doses with a minimum difference of four weeks between one and the other. The protection is approximately 93 %. The side effects, if they appear, are ""mild and transient"". Currently, the first dose is given at 12 months and the second at 3 or 4 years. The vaccination rate of mmr in 2018 was higher than 95% in the first dose but the second dose is half of the autonomous communities did not come to that coverage. ""There is a tendency to cover vaccine tend to decrease as children get older,"" he says. SPAIN FREE OF the VIRUS measles is a disease ""extremely contagious"", so if you do not have ""high"" coverage vaccine of 95% or higher the virus continues to circulate and can be extended to other countries where it was not flowing so endemic. It is a disease that can be eradicated, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), which keeps Spain in the list of countries free of the virus. Sources of Health have reiterated that we are not facing a situation of urgency. WHY THERE HAS BEEN AN INCREASE IN CASES? There is not a single cause, but several. One of them is the lack of access to health services and immunization in some parts of the world or in certain populations. In developed countries such as the Uk, which has lost the status of having eradicated the virus, Martinez Alcorta points to the information ""not true and not proven scientifically"", which is accessed through the internet ""that makes some people seeking to renege on"" vaccines or ""hesitate"" at the time of putting them on to their children. HOW IS THE VIRUS SPREAD? The infection occurs primarily by the respiratory route through coughing, sneezing or talking. The virus can remain for up to two hours in the atmosphere. The disease presents with high fever, produces rhinorrhea (runny nose), conjunctivitis, cough and a rash is very characteristic. ""People think that it is a own illness of childhood that does not involve any risk but could be severe,"" warns the doctor. In fact, in one out of every thousand cases it can cause death and the most frequent complications are neurological, pneumonia, blindness, and severe diarrhea. Tags Health Selection DN ",36,"spain"

But, since the beginning of 2018, there have been more than 750 reported cases of measles in various outbreaks across England – that’s nearly three times as many as the total number confirmed in 2017.    These outbreaks are often associated with travel to European countries, with Greece, Romania, Italy and France identified as hotspots by European Centre for Diseases Control data.    Young adults in their early twenties are particularly at risk.    In the late 1990s there was some controversy surrounding the combined MMR vaccine when it first surfaced, resulting in many children at this time not having the vaccine.    This cohort are now in their late teens and early twenties and could be vulnerable when going on city breaks or visiting large European festivals such as Benicassim, which starts this weekend.    When talking to your patients this summer, make sure they are up to date with their vaccinations.    The MMR vaccine is free and will help prevent the spread of a particularly infectious and unpleasant disease.    Similarly, check if your patients have been abroad recently if they show any signs of measles, including a fever, runny nose, cough and conjunctivitis, then check if they have been abroad recently.    And, of course, if you are due to go on holiday this summer, make sure you and your family are fully vaccinated.    ",36,"uk"

The search for answers leads to a bewildered city councils to conspiracy theorists on the speakers and to Dr. Marcel Wille: A slender, thoughtful man with thinning hair, and of patients to pay, that he offers in his practice, a space for your Impfskepsis and their children in danger. For legal reasons, the Name of the editors has been changed. A Person can have more than twelve other plug in But for now, the Search leads to an electron microscope. A groomed measles cell below and enlarge it to 98,000 times, then, the following picture emerges: a flabby cotton balls, with small tufts of hair on the surface. The cotton balls is the protein shell that protects the genetic information of the Virus. A Person who carries the Virus, can be more than twelve further infect. Can it be enough, the air in a room to breathe in the virus carriers for up to two hours before leaving. Most of all be healthy again. Measles: ""The normal course is a serious disease,"" ""The normal course is hides a serious illness, inflammation of the lungs and Connective, with circulatory problems,"" says Virologist Heilbronn. Measles can cause ear infections or Bronchitis. One in a Thousand dies of a brain inflammation of the skin in some developing countries, five percent die. Loss of hearing and severe physical handicaps can be the result. And: Each one ten-thousandth ill only five to ten years later to the inflammation of the brain. And dies within months. A nurse vaccinates in a doctor's office a patient. Photo: Ole Spata / dpa To all of the to prevent, the recommendations of the Stiko. This is according to an independent panel of experts from the RKI. The Federal court has ruled: What is the Stiko medical Standard is pretending to be"""". The recommendation in terms of measles is as follows: kindergarten children at the earliest from the age of 9. Month, otherwise, between the 11. and 14. Month of vaccination. Since these are not strikes up to ten percent, which is a second vaccination before the second birthday is important. The vaccination is like a protection shield must present the vaccination as a protective shield. If there are enough of them in the company, if the attack surfaces for the Virus as low as possible, to can also be people screened without their own shield. Infants, for example, or those Few who cannot tolerate due to allergies or immune deficiencies, the vaccine. The proportion of people with a shield to be used, the protective shield may be loose, clear, 95 percent named:. Only then will the transmission be cut trails, a occurs, what is the medical herd immunity call. ""We all bear a tremendous responsibility for the people who can't be vaccinated,"" says Virologist Heilbronn. This is also why the Federal government has resorted to now to the agent, which many call as the Ultima Ratio in the struggle against the gaps. She wants to introduce statutory measles vaccination. Only the one who protects his children in accordance with Stiko-recommendation, can you send in day-care centres or schools. In the case of violations, a fine of up to 2500 euros threatens. More than a thousand opponents of A September Saturday to pull through Berlin at the Brandenburg gate. More than a thousand people with orange balloons running behind a sound truck. They demonstrate against the law for the compulsory vaccination, which could approve the Bundestag later this year. A Demonstration of the ""people's teachers"" well-known YouTuber Nikolai N. that is associated with the rich citizens has called. On the stage the talk is of a new ""Apartheid"" between Vaccinated and non-vaccinated, a Doctor of homeopathy speaks. For the protest March, a musician named Wojna sings the fact that the Nato shoot in Afghanistan with uranium and Germany participate in the genocide. It quickly becomes clear that the movement of The opponents gathered people from the most diverse, politically extreme corners – you are reaching for a democratic discourse can hardly. Experts are unanimous: These people are not the Problem. They are loud, but also quite a few. The high vaccination Coverage of the first measles vaccination in Berlin on 97.2 percent. Much more problematic are those who do not believe the false allegations that vaccines could trigger autism. The look but some with legitimate criticism on the pharmaceutical industry, the measles as a harmless childhood disease, transfigure, or the ambitious immunization schedule of the Stiko just a little careless work. In other countries, the vaccination led to skepticism Precisely these parents, says the Impfexperte Martin Terhardt, could put off the planned law. Also, a survey of the European Union is a step in this direction: in countries with mandatory vaccination, the scepticism is particularly high. Martin Terhardt calls on health authorities and pediatricians: Explains to the parents, take the doubt. Not everyone of this responsibility seems to be aware of. Call in the city hall Reinickendorf. If you ask health councillor Uwe Brockhausen (SPD) the reasons for the low vaccination coverage in Frohnau, you can hear platitudes about there now, the upscale middle-class live – for Impfskepsis particularly receptive. But closer you have studied the poor vaccination coverage explains the city Council. Impfskeptische, education, civil clientele, the children are not vaccinated To 87.6 percent in the district of Kreuzberg-East, the local health Department via the district spokeswoman align: proven insights to reasons, it will not give the Figures of 2017 might be outdated. And the Impflücke of Köpenick? Gudrun Schaefer directs the children's and youth health service in the district. She says: ""I was surprised, too."" And tried to explanation of approaches: For years, those impfskeptische, education would lead to civil clientele in districts such as Friedrich Hagen. But perhaps you were there on a people who shares their skepticism – or even reinforced. Praise and criticism on the assessment side, shepherd has a suspicion. There is a doctor in Köpenick, it is hot, he is great in dealing with children: Marcel will. Again and again, children that were with him in treatment would, in the Department of health revaccinated because of the children's doctor the negative. Some parents are insecure. You will not find on a review site for Doctors, according to Dr. will, you come on 29 ratings. Overall grade: 1.7. ""A wonderful children's doctor, responds individually to his small patient,"" writes a user. Below under the Heading ""The Best!"": ""He accepted my vaccination decision-making, where others have reacted with outrage me and then rejected."" Other praise for Dr. will ""convincingly"" explain to him, for his attitude to Vaccinate, because is necessary not to be – what. The few negative reviews criticize almost without exception, his homeopathic approach – and his vaccinations. In a comment, you have to beg for medication and vaccinations. A conversation with the reporters to the children's doctor Who this doctor is rejected? And what does he say to these allegations? It's hard to say. A website of his practice does not exist. But she appears on a list impfkritischer Doctors in Germany. Only: A conversation with Marcel will refuses, despite repeated telephone inquiries. Also patients do not want to comment on the request. Telephone conversation with Gudrun Schäfer from the health office: We have examined the latest enrolment data from the 2019: and new evidence for their suspicions. 70 percent of the children in the district who are not vaccinated sufficiently, come from the area North-Köpenick, Friedrichshagen, Rahnsdorf. You still have not counts at all, says Schaefer, but the Numbers were clear: ""Of the 69 children without adequate Immunisation 52 are Dr. will."" To not want these Figures of the children speak the doctor. So we choose a different path and ask for vaccination advice. The receptionist gives us a date off the practice times. The appointments were to be held regularly, are fully booked for months and cost 29,49 Euro. Not a lot of money for only: vaccination advice is a Fund and may only be used with the written consent of the patients privately billed. Which is not called for in Willes practice. According to the kassenärztliche Vereinigung Berlin, you should check the in a disciplinary procedure. Possible consequences ranging from a warning to fines to ""a suspension of the authorisation for up to two years."" A man who like to say much would. Monday evening in the children's medical practice of Dr. will The walls are decorated with the obligatory pictures of the children, behind the wooden counter, the receptionist around, fiddles with a cell phone. Then the door of the doctor's room opens. Dr. Wille is asking for vaccination advice. How he could help? What follows is a more than a half-hour conversation, during which the pediatrician patterns of a testing, and will say: If the vaccination was coming, then would have no need to use all of it anyway. You ask him at what age he considers what is the vaccination for the child as meaningful, he looks at a with a fixed look, seriously, as if he had heard the question for the first Time and would have to first take a Moment to think about it. A man, the impression would like to say a lot, but don't want to set. A doctor in the room with plenty of room for doubt After a few impfskeptischen comments of the father, it seems so: will is not a radical opponents. The disproved theory that vaccinations could lead to autism, is speculation. And Yes, anyone who does not protect his children against measles to be harmful to others. But he always leaves room for doubt, it nourishes them with unscientific statements. A too-early vaccination was not useful. Since the immune system is built slowly, outweigh the side effects. Wrong, if you compare the facts, according to RKI. This will use arguments that are talking about the view of the Berlin chamber of Physicians ""all national and international recommendations against"" and ""simply wrong and the facts disproved"". Children the doctor will argue with half-truths and false claims So the will says that in Germany especially adults to measles get sick. That's true – however, their share in the population is much larger. It refers to how strong the age group is represented in the population, then infants are most at risk. Wrong Willes claim that these adults are vaccinated for the most part is. Data from the RKI to say: in 2018, were not vaccinated 80 percent of the people with vaccination records, are ill with measles. Will concludes, but its mixture of half-truths and false claims that a too early Vaccination will lead later to a poorer protection. According to RKI, later Vaccination does not reduce the already very small Chance of developing cancer in adulthood. And, when the daughter, whose empty vaccination card Dr. will holds in the hands is to be vaccinated, for the second Time against the measles? His recommendation, says will: ""it is Only in puberty."" A later request to his statements makes will go unanswered. In the end, the question remains: Who will stop Dr. will? It shows Jürgen mask, a spokesman for the professional Association of child and youth doctors in Berlin, a memory log of the advice, then he finds clear words: ""irresponsible"", ""antisocial"" and ""in case of doubt, dangerous"" it was. ""In the end"", according to the professional Association, ""would you deprive someone the license to practice medicine."" The responsible chamber of Physicians was. The may initiate an investigation, facts gathering, the doctor and patient to listen to - and the case is up before a professional court wear. In the case of a judgment of the court, the country can escape the office for health and social Affairs (LAGeSo), the license to practice medicine. The chamber is, however, considerably more reserved than the professional Association. In the light of the research of the Berliner Morgenpost, you would ""with great probability a professional legal investigative method"" can be initiated. To do this, but you need ""concrete evidence"" and the name of the doctor. For a license to practice medicine withdrawal there are high hurdles. The professional Association looks at these statements with scepticism: a physician with this advice is in breach of the professional code. To be more precise: against his duty of disclosure. But consequences have occurred in similar cases, never. And Marcel will is not alone. A children's doctor in the middle of disseminated through the Association for Anthroposophical art of healing ""health"" brochures on the ""individual vaccination decision-making"". The vaccination of the club referred to as the ""health dictatorship."" In the family forum Havelhoehe in Kladow, the Anthroposophical pediatrician Christoph Meinecke, under the Motto advises Vaccinate: ""– what speaks for and what speaks against it?"" Appeal to all the pediatricians, the children to vaccinate scenes of them appear in documentaries and articles. In a Meinecke is cited with the sentence: ""the Mumps, rubella and measles are in the age of the child is harmless."" At the request of the Berliner Morgenpost he feels rendered incorrectly limited the word harmless on the first two diseases. But also, he says on the subject of measles: ""in Our opinion, the second vaccination should be done at the latest with the onset of puberty."" Berlin's health Senator Dilek Kalayci (SPD) says: ""I appeal doctors to all the Children and pediatricians in Berlin, to vaccinate the children."" But is that enough? At the very least, the measles elimination plan and more: At the enrolment examination, it is important to identify gaps and close them. The city Council provides for the medical chamber to Intervene in the duty And why the health Department does not close in Köpenick his Impflücke? The responsible city Council, Bernd Geschanowski (AfD) says the Figures, which lead to the practice of Dr. will, would have tested internally and on the Senate level, with the overall data are compared. This is the earliest in the spring of 2020 the case. ""At least you can discipline a health Department has no established medical colleagues."" Also, the city Council provides the chamber of Physicians in the obligation. At the enrolment examination to offer advice. But it was ""absolutely counter-productive to charge these so-sustainably beautiful day for the children"" with a possible vaccination. In the end, it appears that the measles virus ""R8-Rostov-shake on-Don"" in 2015, the Berlin epidemic, and the death of the 18-month-old boy from Reinickendorf only for a short time. How much is a one-to-1000? This Text appeared for the first time on 22. October 2019 to www.morgenpost.de. In an earlier Version of the article stand, the chamber of Physicians is responsible for a certification withdrawal.

The risk is to continue the spread of the disease, warned the WHO. ""If the response to the disease is not timely and comprehensive, the virus will find its way into more pockets of vulnerable people and can be expanded to additional countries within and beyond the region,"" he adds in a statement. ""Every opportunity must be used in order to be vaccinated susceptible children, adolescents, and adults."" Measles is a very contagious disease that can kill and can cause blindness, deafness or brain damage. Can be prevented with two doses of an effective vaccine, but --partly due to the existence of pockets of non-vaccinated people-- is currently spreading in many parts of the world including the United States, the Philippines and Thailand. In Europe, the majority of cases of measles up to now, in 2019, it was noted in Ukraine, where more than 25,000 people have been infected by the virus in the first two months of the year. There is no specific antiviral therapy for measles, and vaccination is the only way of prevention, said the WHO. Most cases have occurred in people who either were not vaccinated or were vaccinated inadequately. The WHO added that if the area had higher than ever estimated coverage for the second dose of the vaccine of measles in 2017 --about 90%--, some countries had problems, such as decreasing or stagnant vaccination coverage in some cases, low coverage of certain marginal groups and gaps in vaccination in older people. The WHO called the national health authorities in the region to focus their efforts to ensure that all population groups have access to vaccines. ""The effect on public health will persist until the ongoing outbreaks brought under control,"" he said, adding that the health authorities should ""identify those who have missed the vaccine in the past, and to reach them with the vaccines they need"".

Photo: Gero Helm Why parents decide against Vaccinating their children? Some children cannot be vaccinated due to health reasons. Some parents forget to vaccination is simply. In the case of Mumps, measles and rubella, some parents decide consciously against vaccination. What is the reason? As the question plays a role: I Can explain this to me as a parent, what the vaccination is of no use? Against Tetanus vaccinated, for example, more than 98 percent of the children. This disease you get when you Play outside, the lights of the parents. So-called ""children's diseases"" appear for some cute. However, we need to make plausible that they are dangerous. The Bochum-based Figures on immunization Coverage are a cause of concern? No. In the case of measles is formulated with a vaccination rate of 95 per cent, so that the transmission of the pathogen is prevented. In Bochum, we have 93 percent. In addition, however, of 4.8 percent that were vaccinated against measles and the second dose didn't get. That makes a difference? In some people, the first vaccination does not work. That's why the second is important. For many years a recommendation for a vaccination was. And the 86 percent in cross castle, you will see there need for action? No. In Bochum, not the District, in which we should proceed. It is important, of course, refugees about immunizations to educate. But, to make it in Figures: In Querenburg, only four children are not vaccinated at all against measles. In Bochum there are at the time of Enrolment less than 50. We have in the elementary school, the best vaccination rate.

""I think it is right, in the case of very contagious diseases, such as measles, a vaccination will introduce,"" she said of the ""süddeutsche Zeitung"". It is not only the health of the children, but also older people with a weakened immune system. ""The individual freedom has its limits where it endangers the health of many others,"" she explained. ""And this is clearly not the case: The world health organization WHO has declared the refusal to allow a shot for the measles recently after all, one of the global threats to Health."" Measles are highly contagious and can extend in rare cases, even fatal. At the beginning of may, a proposal is expected to Spahns for a vaccination. In the case of the countries there is currently no uniform Position. The Brandenburg Landtag was ahead and had asked the provincial government with a broad majority, to create the conditions to ensure that up to a Federal regulatory solution to a vaccination is considered a prerequisite for attendance of day-care centres and day care.

"6431","Measles, alarm for Unicef: ""more Than 110 thousand cases in 2019: 300%"". Italy, in fifth place for children not vaccinated Between 2010 and 2017, approximately 169 million children - on average 21.1 million in the year - have not received the first dose of the vaccine, According to Unicef, approximately 169 million children - an average of 21.1 million a year between 2010 and 2017 have not received the first dose of the measles vaccine. And in the first three months of 2019 in the world have been reported more than 110,000 cases - about 300% more than in the same period of last year. Approximately 110,000 people, many of them children, have died due to measles in 2017, an increase of 22% compared to the previous year. Two doses of the measles vaccine - remember the Unicef - are essential to protect children from the disease. However, due to lack of access, inadequate health care systems, the carelessness and, in some cases, the fear and the skepticism about vaccines, the global coverage of the first dose of the vaccine for the measles in 2017 was 85%, and this figure remained relatively constant in the last decade, despite population growth. The global coverage for the second dose is much lower, at 67%. The Who recommends a threshold of 95% immunization coverage to reach the so-called immunity of the flock. According to the latest data, in high-income Countries, the coverage of the first dose is 94%, for the second it is 91%. The United States are in the top ranking of the high-income countries with the greatest number of children who have not received the first dose of the vaccine between 2010 and 2017, more than 2.5 million children. Followed by France and the United Kingdom with respectively 600,000 and 500,000 children not vaccinated in the same period. Italy is in fifth place with a well 435,000 children are not vaccinated. In Countries with low and medium income, the situation is critical. In 2017, for example, Nigeria had the highest number of children under 1 year who had not received the first dose of the vaccine, about 4 million, followed by India with 2.9 million, Pakistan and Indonesia with 1.2 million each, and Ethiopia with 1.1 million. The levels of global coverage for the second dose of the measles vaccine are even more alarming. Of the 20 countries with the largest number of children not vaccinated in 2017, 9 have not introduced the second dose. Twenty countries in sub-saharan Africa have not introduced the second dose is necessary in the national program of vaccination, exposing more than 17 million infants a year at a much higher risk of measles during their childhood. © Copyright Reuters - Reproduction Reserved",35,"italy"
"6433","Measles. The who: in 2017 in Europe 400% confirmation of The emergency of which we speak now, the time has come: in 2017 in Europe, measles has killed 35 people and made them sick 21.315, that is, 400% more than in 2016, when instead it had been marked a ‘record’ to the downside with 5.273 cases. The Countries most affected were Romania, Italy and Ukraine. To make the point is the european office of the world health Organization (Who), on the occasion of the meeting between the ministers of Health of european Montenegro. Of the 53 countries of the Who european region, 15 have had outbreaks with over 100 cases. The top three were Romania (5562), Italy (5006) and Ukraine (4767). To facilitate the spread of measles, there was the sum of several factors, according to Who, the fall in the overall rate of immunization coverage, more substantial in the groups of the population most marginalized, the interruptions in the supply of vaccination and disease surveillance systems that have not always worked optimally. Other countries with large epidemics were Greece (967) Germany (927), Serbia (702), Tajikistan (649), France (520), Russia (408), Belgium (369) United Kingdom (282), Bulgaria (167), Spain (152), Czech Republic (146) Switzerland (105). The data, however, do not upset Gianni Rezza, epidemiologist at the Istituto Superiore di Sanita (Iss), which detects as measles is a very contagious condition that “goes in waves. There are years in which more cases than the previous ones”. “The decline in vaccine coverage there has been until 2015-2016 may have influenced on this last peak of the epidemic, increasing the population at risk for the disease”. Difficult, however, to make a precise estimate of how many there are. In addition to the children not vaccinated, “which are about 10-15% – he continues – there are also young people and adults who have not had the measles as children, and that large are difficult to vaccinate”. For the children, the decree that made mandatory vaccines is helping to improve the coverage, that “90% had dropped to 85% in 2015”, and that “now is rising”, notes Security. To Zsuzsanna Jakab, director of Who Europe, “more than 20 thousand cases, and 35 lives lost to measles are a tragedy that we simply can not accept.” The elimination of measles and rubella “are a priority for all european countries, and this setback, he concluded, should not discourage us from working to have future generations of children free from these diseases.”",35,"italy"

Of course, if the vaccine had been administered in the 72 hours from the onset of symptoms, we would have the certainty of coverage, but given that the incubation might be older, then we will roll out health surveillance to assess any symptoms that may occur"". Reconstruction Trying to reconstruct what happened, the messenger would come in contact with a man of about 50 years who contracted measles on a trip abroad in Europe. ""The conditions of women are good"", it is learned from sources of health care. The Usl has made a verification of all the colleagues of the sorting center of Foligno, scremando the immunized (that have already had the measles, and the vaccinated, then by taking the prophylaxis for 60 workers. It still supervised special because they might have contracted the disease. If so, he should take the prophylaxis also on their family members. ""Right in front of these data – says Luca Barberini, regional councillor of Health – vaccination campaign confirms to be important and necessary. A case of Measles in Foligno is under control, but for the next few days you must remain under constant monitoring"". The particular doctors ""vaccination post-exposure,"" explains Dr. Franco Santocchia, head of department of Hygiene and public health – can block any progression of the infection, though its effectiveness tends to decrease when performed after 72 hours from the contact. However, it is indicated and recommended, since, even in the case of the development of the disease, leads to no result. Measles, unfortunately, is a very contagious condition and is not always possible to make early diagnosis in the beginning it manifests itself as a form, similar to a flu and this is the stage when the sick may be already contagious. The prevention intervention activated by the Usl Umbria 2 will continue for the next two weeks, which is the time of incubation of the disease before the onset of symptoms, with a health surveillance aimed at the early detection of new cases. Unfortunately, the situation of the epidemic that is affecting our Country and other european Countries once again shows that the only possibility of defence is the maximum vaccination coverage of the population. This coverage in our area is certainly important (98% in children and adolescents), but unfortunately not as high in the ultra forty-year-olds, and this is exactly the target that is hit.""",35,"italy"

As one of the four of the infected children have been on the bite too. This was, of course, is not meant to be. Subsequently, all general practitioners are informed and the protocol is restarted.’ As a professional practitioner was De Doelder and after all is adequately vaccinated, it is. The employees are of a generation that has been protected by the Rijksvaccinatieprogramma (RVP), which have been with the center since 1976, is included. Interesting enough it appeared that my colleague and I would be in the generation that will not be fully protected. I'm from 1977, and had only one vaccination in my childhood. We are glad to have the practice, which is to be fully protected, so if we have a mazelenpatiënt were to visit, you could do that. My co-worker and I have been using the pharmacy for ourselves, the second vaccination will be achieved.’ Is not adequately protected had The Doelder do not realize that they themselves may not be enough protected, might have been. ‘Follow me to the OFFICE. That's not something you think about.’ The new focus has led to the fact that they are a bit more focused, and to work as a professional practitioner. ""If you give me two weeks to ask a question about the measles vaccine was made available, I would have a very different answer. In particular, it is correct, that is, do not invite people to practice that advice, I did not previously know. This is the opposite of what you're saying is when people make phone calls with a serious complaint: if you come, but even then, we will look at it.’ The praktijkassistenten are now instructed otherwise. ""They have to be symptoms of the measles, mumps, consciously, to determine if a person is calling and even more focused, to ask.’ Happen to be rang the day before to a mother who was concerned that her child is 6 years old and the center did.

The child has been in contact with an infected patient? No, no. Has it been vaccinated? Yes. In addition, it appeared that the symptoms are not those of the center-to-be. So, it was a false alarm.’ De Doelder: ‘for such A call-in show that the measles are in the area and frequently discussed.’ Which, of course, played a role, she said: ""In my ten years as a gp, I have never had the measles as seen. The are a number of conditions that you can't get out of practice you know. The fact that it is now broad, the mind is that physicians need to be aware of, I think it's good.’ ""I have the measles in my ten years as a gp and have never seen it in real life """" A community-wide outbreak, as this is evidence of a disease such as measles, through the back door, yet again, it may turn up,’ says De Doelder is fixed. ""It will require a vigilance on the trade. I think it's hard to go against the parents saying that their baby is móéten be vaccinated, but it is a practical way to use it in a conversation when parents are in doubt. You will see that it is a non-vaccination is not without risks.’ The small clusters, Because the measles are not very common, the majority of doctors are not at risk from measles if a patient has a high fever, spots and reports in the doctor's office. It was for the health and safety co-lead at general practitioners and hospitals, and recently by the NHG to be aware of the existing guidelines. The immediate impetus for this was a slight increase in the number of mazelengevallen in the first quarter of 2019. It's going to be in fifteen cases, and that it is higher than the average for the same period in the previous years. There is no evidence of a disease, stressed a doctor of infectious diseases Helma Ruijs (NETHERLANDS). ""It's going to be in small groups, which is a native of the Netherlands, the center is in the rest of the world suffered. Back in the Netherlands, a very small number of people around the disease.’ There is a large mazelenepidemie in the Ukraine (37 thousand patients by 2019), but there have also been outbreaks in Romania, Poland, turkey, Italy, and France. ‘Recently, there was a patient in the Netherlands who had suffered during a skiing holiday in Val Thorens.’ Guidelines of The NHG-guidelines, which are now in the doctors ' attention have been made, nearly six years ago, following a previous outbreak in the Biblebelt. Between march 2013 and march 2014, there was a great mazelenepidemie, mainly among unvaccinated, orthodox protestant children at school. A total of 2700 patients have been reported, but in reality, when an estimated 30-thousand people to measles, mumps, and 181 patients with measles admitted to the hospital. One young girl of 17 years passed away. The advice the gp says since then: you can help protect your patients and staff, and take hygiene measures if you are at risk from measles is suspected. People with measles to the waiting room, and schedule a home visit. If a person is already in the waiting room, sit down, and you suspect measles: give him a mask. Also, in retrospect, should have a doctor to do that. Measles is a notifiable disease and must be reported to the health authorities. It will then be for the parties - and the contactonderzoek to pick it up. But, in practice, it is too late to measles, mumps, previously thought"", says Ruijs. So, the advice from the previous week to the doctors to see the guidelines once again to find out more. The recent outbreak in The Hague, came to them. Ruijs: ""We are already working on it.’ A fire master, you will be in The Hague, with no new infections have been added since the beginning of last week, a fourth of a child being infected was found. The contactonderzoek, in which about 150 people have been investigated, has been completed and the public health service Haaglanden, the hope is that in the four cases. Taking into account the incubation period, is expected to close by april 19, the signal ""fire master"" is given. The health service does not give information about the nursery, due to the privacy of the patients. ""It was a case of bad luck. It was all over the place event"", said spokesperson Miranda as the Cock of the public health service of the Hague. In this case, it was none of their four children have been vaccinated. For the two of them, it was because they were younger than 14 months old. The health service is to help people with the mazelenpatiëntjes have been in contact, if necessary, a vaccination, or an injection of immunoglobulin was offered. Not all of them are vaccinated, "" says the spokesman. ""That's-by-case basis.’ The natural immunity of This year, the number of mazelengevallen, in total, slightly more than in the previous years, but in the NETHERLANDS we do not expect that in the Netherlands there is a major epidemic will occur. This is partly due to the epidemic of 2013/2014, "" explains Ruijs out. This outbreak occurred in the group with religious objections to vaccination. They have been through with this epidemic, the natural immunity built up, so it will take some time before such a major epidemic again, and it will happen.’ More to be irregular, frequent small clusters of measles vaccine. ‘Preferably, you will want to have a vaccination rate of 95 percent or higher. The vaccination rate for measles in the country is currently 92,9%, and it seems to be leveling out. Since the coverage is less than optimal, and in a number of countries mazelenuitbraken, we will in the coming time, more like ‘small clusters’ – such as in The netherlands.’ You can also read",35,"netherlands"

The infection caused around 110,000 deaths around the world in 2017 - mainly children under five years old. New York state is currently in the middle of a measles outbreak that started in September. At least 160 people have been diagnosed with the viral infection since the outbreak began, including almost 60 in New York City. The State Commissioner of Health, Dr Howard Zucker, said: “I would say this is the largest measles outbreak that New York state has had in recent history.”  A sneeze is the perfect conduit to spread the virus around an airplane cabin Robert Bradshaw  The measles virus is spread by coughing or sneezing. Simply touching a surface with a patients’ droplets could lead to an infection. Travellers may be at risk of spreading the virus to other people, warned OxfordOnlinePharmacy.co.uk’s Pharmacist, Robert Bradshaw. An aeroplane cabin is the “perfect place” for spreading the measles virus. Around 60 flights travel between New York and London every day, according to airline analysis website, Anna Aero. Bradshaw said: “As with similar outbreaks in the UK, it poses a serious risk to anyone travelling to and from America who has not been immunised. “Our advice to all travellers is to ensure primary courses and boosters of MMR are up to date. “Measles is an airborne virus which is transmitted via water droplets, so a sneeze is the perfect conduit to spread the virus around an airplane cabin, from one traveller to another.  Measles symptoms: UK outbreak travel risk - New York is in 'worst outbreak of recent history'  “Children under the age of one, as well as some teenagers and adults can experience complications from measles which include hearing and sight problems as well as pneumonia. In some rare cases measles can be fatal.” “People with measles are infectious from when the symptoms first appear, these symptoms can be easily mistaken for a common cold and include a blocked nose and a high temperature. “Measles sufferers also experience sore eyes and spots on the inside of their cheeks.” The most common sign of the virus is the stereotypical measles rash. The rash appears around two to four days after the initial symptoms. It causes individual, raised spots to link up, forming blotchy rashes across the body. Patients tend to feel most ill on the first or second day after the rash develops.  Measles symptoms: The MMR vaccine is the best way to prevent measles  Signs and symptoms of the measles Tue, April 4, 2017 Measles - a contagious virus with the potential to cause serious illness and even death - is spreading around Europe and experts from the World Health Organisation said people who haven’t had the vaccine are at risk.

"36913","The US state of Minnesota is dealing with its worst measles outbreak in over three decades. There are now more measles cases in Minnesota than there were across the entire United States in 2016.  There are 73 confirmed measles cases in the state, according to Minnesota Department of Health. Last year there were 70 confirmed cases of measles nationwide, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.  The outbreak has primarily affected children in the Somali-American community near Minneapolis. 21 have been hospitalised.  Health officials blame the anti-vaccination movement for the recent outbreak. They accuse activists of spreading the widely discredited theory among the immigrant community that the measles, mumps, rubella (MMR) vaccination leads to autism.  The correlation between the MMR vaccination and autism was first drawn by British medical researcher Andrew Wakefield in scientific journal The Lancet in 1998.  The paper sparked a major health scare in the UK with confidence in the MMR jab falling from 59% to 41%. An investigation by the Sunday Times revealed that Wakefield had manipulated evidence and was being paid by lawyers who were trying to prove that the vaccination was unsafe.  Anti-vaccination groups regularly invited Wakefield to speak to worried parents in Minnesota, according to the Washington Post. Immunisation rates in the Somali community plummeted by almost 45% between 2004 and 2014, according to the Department of Health. In April 2017 the first cases of measles appeared.  Siman Nuurali, a Somali American doctor who coordinates care at children's hospitals across the state, told the newspaper that the targeted anti-vaccination movement was ""abhorrent.""  ""It's remarkable to come in and talk to a population that's vulnerable and marginalized and who doesn't necessarily have the capacity for advocacy for themselves, and to take advantage of that,"" Nuurali said.  Researchers at the University of Minnesota investigated whether there was a higher prevalence of autism in Somali versus non-Somali youth. They found that Somali children and white children were equally likely to be diagnosed with Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD).  ""This outbreak has everything to do with being unvaccinated,"" Kristen Ehresmann, director of the Infectious Disease Division at the Minnesota Department of Health, told CNN.  She said that there was increased risk of the disease spreading in June as Somali-Americans celebrate the holy month of Ramadan.  ""At the end of Ramadan, the big celebratory feast is something that's attended by everyone, and many mosques will join together for that. So you not only have everyone in attendance, but you also have potential for even greater mixing than usual,"" she said.  The health department is collaborating with imams to encourage people with measles to avoid the communal feasts at the mosque.  ""They have let us know that one of the values or messages in Islam is, if someone is ill, that taking time to be alone or to isolate oneself has a spiritual benefit,"" Ehresmann said.  Measles is highly contagious as it is an airborne disease which can be transmitted to others through coughs and sneezes. Symptoms include a runny nose, high fever, cough and skin rash. The disease can lead to pneumonia, hospitalisation and even death.",35,"uk"
"37113","Revealed: The number of unvaccinated children in Newham at risk of catching measles  The British Society for Immunology is calling on the government and the NHS to conduct a review of immunisation rates, to learn from the areas that are doing well and apply that to the rest of the country. Photo: PA PA Wire/PA Images  More than 10,000 children in Newham have been left unprotected from measles over the last decade, figures show.  Share Email this article to a friend To send a link to this page you must be logged in.  The charity Unicef said increasing numbers of youngsters are being left at risk.  It said that vaccination rates are plummeting. Inaccurate and misleading anti-vaccination messages on social media are believed to be among the causes.  Between April 2010 and December 2018, 6,410 Newham children had not received their first vaccination against measles, mumps and rubella by age five, according to Public Health England.  Two jabs are required by five-years-old to provide full immunity and a further 6,830 children did not receive the second jab.  At just more than 70 per cent, the overall vaccination rate is well short of the World Health Organisation's 95 per cent goal – what it says is needed to stop the disease spreading.  It means 13,240 children are at risk of the highly contagious disease in the borough.  Measles can cause a rash and fever, and can lead to serious complications.  The Health Secretary Matt Hancock recently said he would not rule out banning unvaccinated children from schools.  When asked if he would follow measures attempted in France and the US to tackle measles, he said: “I wouldn't rule out anything but I don't think we're there yet.  You may also want to watch:  “In America they tried to do this and the courts stopped them so it can be complicated, but really it's people's responsibility as a parent to do the right thing – the right thing for their own children as well as, of course, the right of the community that everybody lives in.”  Unicef's analysis estimated that 169 million children around the world missed out on the first dose of the measles vaccine between 2010 and 2017 – an average of 21.1 million a year. More than half a million of them were thought to be in the UK.  The most recent figures, from October to December 2018, show that uptake for both doses of the MMR vaccine in England's five-year-old children is 87 per cent.  There were 966 measles cases in England in 2018, up from 259 in 2017.  Mary Ramsay, Public Health England's head of immunisations, said: “The UK achieved WHO measles elimination status in 2017, so the overall risk of measles to the UK population is low.  “However due to ongoing measles outbreaks in Europe, we will continue to see cases, particularly in unimmunised individuals.  “This could lead to some spread in communities with low MMR coverage and in age groups with very close mixing.  “Measles can be extremely serious, so make sure you and your family are protected.”  A spokesman for Newham's Clinical Commissioning Group emphasised that vaccinations are free and protect from diseases that can become very serious.  “They also prevent infection during pregnancy which can cause serious complications affecting the unborn baby or resulting in miscarriage,” he said.  “If children are over three years and four months, it is important that all parents and guardians check that their children have had two doses of the MMR vaccination. If your child has not received the immunisation, we would encourage you to contact your local GP practice urgently to arrange for them to have it.”",35,"uk"
"37213","19th August 2019– Following a marked increase in measles cases in 2019, the World Health Organisation has confirmed that the UK has lost its ‘measles free’ status. Unicef UK responds below.  Liam Sollis, Head of Policy at Unicef UK, said:  Today’s news that the UK has lost its ‘measles-free’ status is further proof of the urgent need to combat the harmful anti-vax narrative that has infiltrated social media. The fact this disinformation is shared on the very platforms we use to speak to our friends and share photos of our babies, leaves parents confused and unable to distinguish truth from rhetoric. We need to ensure that there are easy means for the public to report misleading anti-vax content.  This mechanism should also be accessible to children and young people, who are arguably social media’s biggest yet most vulnerable users. Vaccine hesitancy is a complex problem and needs ongoing leadership from the Government supporting GPs and health professionals to increase coverage rates.  It is also vital that technology and social media companies signpost those searching for answers to responsible and accurate sources, such as the NHS website, thereby helping parents and children feel informed, able to trust in accurate sources and make the right choices to protect their health.

Taking into account the population, the Ukraine also had the highest proportion of cases of measles with 1.209 incidents per one million inhabitants, an increase of ten times compared to 2017. The rise is attributed mainly to the fact that in the last few years, because of the conflict with Russia, it decreased dramatically to only 31% in the rate of vaccination, one of the lowest in the world, although more recently it recovered again to around 90%.

"2723","Following the arrival of several travellers who have contracted measles outside the department, the virus is circulating at present on the territory, with the appearance of an outbreak in the south of the island. Since December 1, 2018, 38 cases of measles have been confirmed at The Meeting. Most of these patients were not properly vaccinated. Given the extreme contagiousness of this disease, it is feared that the new cases occur in the coming weeks. The only way to prevention of the epidemic is vaccination. Also, the ARS Indian Ocean reminds us of the importance of checking the vaccination status, even for adults, and if necessary, perform a catch-up vaccine from a health professional (all people over 12 months and born since 1980 should have received 2 doses of vaccine). Epidemiological Situation Between the 01/12/2018 and the 22/02/2019, 38 cases of measles were reported to the ARS OI : 15 imported cases, mostly from Madagascar, but also in france, Mauritius and Mayotte. 23 cases contracted to The RéunionMalgré the decrease in the number of reported cases, new cases are expected at The Meeting, both indigenous (chains of transmission local) imports (continued epidemics in the Indian ocean). Only vaccination can stop the outbreak ! Check the vaccination status measles spreads very easily when you cough, you sneeze, we fly, and by the saliva. It affects children and adults not vaccinated. Vaccination is therefore the only way to protect themselves from the disease. By vaccinating, it protects but it also protects those around her (including children under 1 year of age, pregnant women, and immunocompromised persons who may not benefit from vaccination). Two doses of vaccine are needed to ensure effective protection. For people under 40 years of age The vaccination can be caught at any age, but especially for those under 40 years of age (beyond 40 years, it is estimated that people have probably already contracted the measles due to large epidemics in the past, and are therefore immune). This is why the ARS recommends : check the vaccination status vis-a-vis the measles from a health professional (doctors, nurses, midwives...). Depending on the case, the doctor will propose a catch-up vaccination. Consult with her treating physician in case of signs (appearance of a high fever, followed within 2 to 4 days of rash), in order to confirm or not the diagnosis of measles. In this case, in order to avoid the contagion, it is recommended to wear a mask and avoid contact with other people, such as, for example, in the waiting room at the doctor. A vaccination in emergency (within 72 h) may stop the disease ! People who are not immunized (unvaccinated and who have not already contracted the measles) may avoid the disease by being vaccinated within 72 h following contact with a patient. Additional measures for people at risk of developing measles, severe are possible for up to 6 days following exposure Recommendations to travellers In light of the regional situation, the ARS Indian Ocean recommends that travellers departing or the return of the countries of the area, and in particular of Madagascar : Before the start : – ensure being up to date with his vaccination. – If not, to consult their physician for a catch-up vaccination. The return : go to the doctor, in the case of signs, by specifying the countries to be visited. What is the measles ? The classic signs of measles that should alert are : Fever above 38.5°C, Cough, runny nose, red and watery eyes (conjunctivitis), red Buttons (first on the face then on the rest of the body) persons with measles can transmit it for up to 5 days after the appearance of the buttons. The rash may begin 7 to 18 days after contact with the person with measles. Health professionals The ARS Indian Ocean request health professionals to report to the ARS of any case of measles suspected. This notification is essential to enable the identification of case contacts in order to interrupt the chain of contamination, and particularly with people that are in danger of a measles serious to know :",34,"france"

"4021","Stefan Heinlein: polio, whooping cough, and measles plus Tetanus, diphtheria, Mumps, and rubella are recommended for the essential vaccinations for children, of physicians and virologists. Many of these infectious diseases have become more rare and so there is in many countries a clear Trend: fewer and fewer children are vaccinated. The world health organization, WHO, has therefore sounded the Alarm. The number of measles infections has increased since 2017, in comparison to the previous year dramatically. On the phone, I want to welcome now the Chairman of the Standing Committee on vaccination, Thomas Mertens. Good Day, Professor! Thomas Mertens: Yes, good day! ""The measles is not a mild disease"" Heinlein: Mr Mertens, according to the latest Figures, there are in Germany 929 measles cases. This sounds not so much. Why is the WHO still fails with the Alarm? Mertens: Well, because if you look at the European level – the Numbers are not called Mr right now, then it is at the beginning of this year, in the first six months of 41,000 measles cases in the European Region. And there was registered, what is sure to be a to low adoption, 37 deaths. This means – and this is true about many years, that one can roughly expect always appreciated with the case of a death in a thousand cases. The measles is not a mild disease. In addition, the measles have all the qualities to be eradicated worldwide. You could avoid really. In this respect, it is a goal of the world health organization and also the Federal Republic of Germany has committed to this target, the measles eradication to continue to drift. Because, as you have heard: to 100,000 Deaths annually, mostly children, are just a lot and it is completely unnecessary that these children die from the measles. In Germany, to say that will not sound of course, the cases so much. But for us, it is so that we have complications. We look at the past year, then there were patients with Meningitis, meningeal and brain inflammation. Then it was pneumonia, and middle ear. And you have to remember that 41 percent of the cases were hospitalized in the year 2017 in Germany. That is, they had to be admitted to the hospital, what also shows that they were not ill so banal. A little under half of the measles Sufferers had to be hospitalized. ""It is generally vaccinated too late,"" Heinlein: Mr Mertens, why Vaccinate in Germany is no longer be taken for granted? This is simply Here of the parents, or is it the convenience, or are also ideological reasons behind it? Mertens: For the majority of the population, it is certain that, since the term Here is used high. If you look at the school's entrance examinations, that is, if you look at how many children are vaccinated at the time of the occurrence in the school, then you see, that has not diminished over the last few years, but rather, increased slightly. You must look at it differently. What is the case in Germany, is that there are very large regional differences in the vaccination rates. That is to say, at the County level. Some are excellent by vaccination, others are less well vaccinated. The second point is that, in General, to be late is to be vaccinated. Actually, Yes, all of the children with 24 months, that is, at the completion of the second year of life should be fully vaccinated. There's a big difference. If you look at those 24 months and the school entry examinations, then there is a significant difference. Considering the 24 months, then there are actually only about 74 percent, are vaccinated with the second dose of vaccine, and the measles, as we know, little information of Impfgegnern ""speculative"" Heinlein: And that's also the reason why the number of measles cases in Germany so dramatically tripled? Mertens: Yeah, well, the fluctuations over the last few years. We also had years where that was even worse in Germany. Remember the large outbreak in Berlin, with over 1,300 cases. In this respect, you have to consider this as a wave motion. But in fact, it is so that we are for a, shall we say, progressive country, how we would feel, in fact, far too many measles cases, and this lies in the fact that firstly, not everywhere evenly is vaccinated, and, secondly, that, in General, the vaccination is carried out too late. If the children are vaccinated too late, you are prior to vaccination, of course, all unprotected, and can also act as Diseased and Carriers. Heinlein: Now, opponents, Mr Mertens, vaccinations say this is unnatural, detrimental and perhaps even the cause of many diseases, allergies, or even cancer. How certain can you be that the risks of vaccination are in any case less than the consequences of a measles infection for children and young people? Mertens: a Lot of this information from Impfgegnern – and mind you: this only concerns a very small proportion",34,"germany"

And among the local population, according to a study by the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, is now little more than 60% of the population to be convinced of the importance to submit to the prophylaxis. The reason for it. At the base of the infection is the lack of vaccination to be part of the local population. Unicef has in fact stressed as soon as the 55% of the population has followed the prophylaxis in recent times, while the immunity is reached when more than 95% of residents have backed the vaccine. At this moment there are fears for the 2.6 million children not vaccinated who do not even have 5 years of age.

"38013","The NHS has reported an outbreak of measles in both Leeds and Liverpool, with Greater Manchester also braced for an increase in cases.  Health officials believe the virus may have been brought back from mainland Europe, where there were recent outbreaks in Germany, Italy and Romania.  Dr Mary Ramsay, head of immunisation at Public Health England, says:  ‘This serves as an important reminder for parents to take up the offer of MMR vaccination for their children when offered at one year of age and as a pre-school booster at three years, four months of age.  ‘If children and young adults have missed these vaccinations in the past, it’s important to take up the vaccine now from GPs, particularly in light of the recent cases in Liverpool and Leeds.’  Measles can cause a high temperature as one of the symptoms, and so it’s vital you have an accurate and easy-to-use thermometer to help you monitor your child.  Head straight to our first look digital thermometer reviews if you need advice on choosing the best one for you.  How to spot the signs of measles  Measles is highly infectious, very unpleasant, and can lead to complications. Symptoms include:  High fever  Sore, red, watery eyes  Coughing  Feeling achey  Blotchy, red-brown rash  Measles is less common now because many children are vaccinated with the MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) jab when they are a year old and a second dose when reaching the age of three years four months.  People with measles are infectious from the point at which the first symptoms develop until about four days after the rash first appears.  Complications that can be caused by measles include diarrhoea, vomiting, pneumonia, bronchitis, hepatitis, brain infection and sight problems.  As measles is a virus, there’s no specific treatment if you catch it, but you can ease symptoms with painkillers and rest.  Anyone who is worried that they might have come into contact with someone with measles, or think they might have the illness, are advised to stay at home and contact their GP or call the NHS helpline on 111.  Look out for scarlet fever too  This news comes at the same time as a recent study published in the medical journal The Lancet, which has reported that scarlet fever cases in England hit their highest level in 50 years in 2016.  The data showed that there was a large jump in cases from 4336 in 2013 to 14,396 in 2014. Cases also increased in 2015 and reached 17,839 in 2016. It’s not known what has caused this sudden jump in numbers.  Experts are hoping that the outbreak has now peaked, and are predicting a lower number of cases for 2017, but have still asked people to be vigilant to symptoms.  Symptoms of scarlet fever  Sore throat  Headache  High fever  Red rash that’s rough to the touch  White coating on the tongue that peels after a few days leaving it bright red and swollen (like a strawberry)  Scarlet fever is a bacterial infection caused by bacteria known as group A streptococcus. It used to be a common cause of death in Victorian England before the advent of antibiotics.  It is most common in children under 10, and although highly contagious, it is reasonably straightforward to treat with antibiotics. However, complications if left untreated include pneumonia and liver damage.",34,"uk"

The virus was eliminated in the UK in 2016, but there have now been 231 confirmed cases of measles recorded in the first quarter of 2019, alongside a decline in the number of children getting the second dose of the MMR jab.  Only 87.2 per cent of children in the UK are getting the second dose of the vaccination, a fall from the 88.6 per cent rate recorded in 2014-15 and well below the 95 per cent needed to ensure full immunity against the illness.

New plans  Uptake for the second dose has gone down, with only 87.2% of children having it last year (Photo: Getty)  The WHO recommends 95 per cent coverage to ensure herd immunity, the form of indirect protection from infectious disease created when enough of the population is vaccinated.  NHS England will write to all GPs urging them to promote ""catch-up"" vaccination programmes, and will seek to strengthen the role of local immunisation co-ordinators in a bid to improve uptake.  The Government will also seek to update the advice on the NHS's website to address misleading information about the dangers of vaccines.  Social media companies will also be called to a summit to discuss how they can promote accurate information about vaccination.  The Department for Health and Social Care will also deliver a strategy to address the issue in the autumn, in which the NHS is expected to be asked to use technology to identify who may have missed a vaccination and make booking appointments easier.  'Determined to step up'  Prime Minister Boris Johnson has said he is determined to tackle its spread (Photo: Getty)  Ahead of the visit, Mr Johnson said: ""After a period of progress where we were once able to declare Britain measles free, we've now seen hundreds of cases of measles in the UK this year.  ""One case of this horrible disease is too many, and I am determined to step up our efforts to tackle its spread.  ""This is a global challenge and there's a number of reasons why people don't get themselves or their children the vaccines they need, but we need decisive action across our health service and society to make sure communities are properly immunised.  ""From reassuring parents about the safety of vaccines, to making sure people are attending follow-up appointments, we can and must do more to halt the spread of infectious, treatable diseases in modern-day Britain.""  Eliminate measles 'for good'  Social media companies will also be called to a summit to discuss how they can promote accurate information about vaccination (Photo: Getty)  The Health Secretary said the new system is committed to eliminating the disease for good.  Health Secretary Matt Hancock added: ""It's easy to forget how devastating measles can be, precisely because vaccines are so effective at preventing it in the first place.  ""With this strategy, the whole health system will come together to renew focus on vaccinations, especially for our children, and this time we will eliminate measles for good.""  Dr Mary Ramsay, head of immunisation at Public Health England, said: ""Losing our measles-free status is a stark reminder of how important it is that every eligible person gets vaccinated.  ""Measles is one of the most infectious diseases known to man - only one person travelling back to an area with lower vaccination rates can lead to an outbreak.  ""Anyone who has not received two doses of MMR vaccine is always at risk.  ""Making it as easy as possible for parents to access vaccines so that they can offer their children the best possible start in life is a priority for us, DHSC and for NHS England.

For WHO, the factors are multiple, but one is of special attention : the extent taken by the movement ""anti-vax"", which accentuates the defiance world with regard to vaccines, particularly in western countries. Measles is a highly contagious disease for which there is to date no curative treatment. WHO relies on many scientific works in order to emphasize that the disease can be prevented by two doses of a vaccine ""safe and highly effective"". And remember that the study that has sown the seed of doubt on the vaccine saying that it was likely to cause autism spectrum disorders in children has been falsified. Medical documentation and confidential interviews with witnesses have established that its author Andrew Wakefield had manipulated patient data, to create the idea of a link between the vaccine and autism. The distrust vis-a-vis the vaccine may also have religious reasons : in New York, the measles had caused two deaths after it was imported by travellers who are not vaccinated from Israel. To avoid any complication related to the disease, the WHO advises any person over 6 months to be vaccinated against measles at least 15 days before travel to an area where it circulates.

"6439","In The News Rimini | 12:17 - April 11, 2019 Measles. And’ game of the campaign extraordinary Ausl Romagna, in a call for young people and adults for vaccination against measles. Still, in fact, to occur cases of measles in the territory of the province of Rimini, where from December, an ongoing outbreak that, to date, has involved 36 people. Also in Ravenna since the beginning of the year were recorded 8 cases of the disease, apparently not related, nor between them nor to the outbreak of rimini. Public health interventions made in a timely way in the field in Rimini for the containment of the outbreak have been limited in their effectiveness, due to the low adhesion of the contacts to be susceptible to measures of prophylaxis vaccination post-exposure,because of beliefs contrary to vaccination (so-called no-vax), a factor that has led over the years to create large pockets of the population that is not protected for this disease. In order to increase the number of vaccinated people in the whole of Romagna, the local health authority has given way, as recently announced, a campaign of the active call to vaccination in adults that, if not already vaccinated and if not immunized in any other way, will be allowed to visit at the outpatient clinic, local health boards of the various territories to be vaccinated free of charge. The policies of recovery of the vaccine put in place following the regional law of Emilia Romagna and the decree Lorenzin, have involved children of school age and health care workers, significantly increasing the coverage rates for these target , but leaving substantially unchanged the low coverage rates of young adults. In Italy, in fact, the vaccine antimorbillo is available from 1976, and only since the ’90s, the percentages of coverage have begun to be more significant than protecting children. Here, the campaign, extraordinary vaccination antimorbillosa geared to adults. In areas of Forli, Cesena and Ravenna, the Services are sending a letter of invitation to the people born between 1980 and 1989 (starting from the born in 1989) for which it is not in the register of the vaccination, any dose of vaccination antimorbillosa. The letter will contain an illustration of the disease and its complications and the advantages of individual and collective vaccination, as well as, of course, the practical directions for access by reservation CUP. Have so far been sent 650 letters of invitation (250 to Ravenna, and, 200 in Forli, 200 Cesena) In consideration of the characteristics of an outbreak is still active, in the province of Rimini, the measures are slightly different, and more spacious. The outbreak affects mainly individuals between 17 and 20 years, for which invitations will look primarily to these age groups. The Pediatrics Community, in addition to the invitations already sent to you in accordance with recent laws, is sending letters of invitation to all the children not vaccinated, and those who, being included in the age of the obligation, were repeatedly invited but are still defaulting, is for boys between 16 and 18 years of age, that are released from the obligation of vaccination, for a total of 3663 invitation letters two-thirds of which has already been shipped. These letters provide information about the illness and the vaccine, and we invite families to contact the clinics vaccine for children of the Community during normal business hours, without the need of booking. The Service of Public Hygiene, which takes care of the adults, has already sent the first 1700 letters to people with the age above 18 years, starting from those born in 2001. These letters contain an illustration of the disease and instructions for access to the vaccination, that can be free, without appointment, every Wednesday from 9 am to 18 at the headquarters of Rimini in the Service of Public health Via Coriano, or, on days and different locations, on appointment via the booking CUP.The vaccination is free, it is trivalent, that is, protects against measles, mumps and rubella. It consists of two doses of vaccine inoculated intramuscularly, at a distance of at least 4 weeks from each other, and gives a high degree of protection and long-lasting in respect of the three diseases. The previous immunity, natural or vaccination, or for one or more of these diseases is not a contraindication to vaccination. Measles is usually of course more serious in adults than in children, and the disease can be accompanied by complications such as ear infections, pneumonia, laringotracheobronchiti and encephalitis. Even if very rarely(in 1 case per one hundred thousand), due to the infection morbillosa may develop several years after infection, a panencefalite sclerosing subacute as a result, late of the disease, with a time course very serious. “It is evident – which highlights the dr. Rafaella Angelini, director of the department of public Health of the Ausl Romagna – such as vaccination represents a fundamental defence for the protection of the individual and of the community. In the face of a very difficult situation, in particular in Romagna, so we decided to turn these special measures, with the aim of approaching, as far as possible to the threshold of the so-called ‘immunity, and of the flock’, thanks to which you can also protect those people who, suffering from some diseases, are not in a position to vaccinate and that, in this situation, are greatly at risk”.",33,"italy"

The deaths of two babies in the past year after they received the vaccine increased the fear of the population is samoan, which began to decline in the vaccination coverage. It would be seen that all of the children had died, then there is an error in the preparation of the vaccine, which has been mixed in with the pain, and the nurses in charge were convicted and sentenced this summer to five years in prison.

The note adds that in a number of cases have been health care professionals, “which, in spite of the vaccine, have a high level of exposure, that is to say, the provision of care over a long period of time, in the case of the measles”. The DGS also highlights that the coverage vaccine has increased over time, while allowing the Uk to keep the immunity of the group, despite the fact that there are still a few pockets of susceptible” To vaccine coverage for the first dose of the measles vaccine, assessed at two years of age, he was 98% and the vaccination coverage for the 2nd dose of this vaccine in children under 18 years of age, it ranged between 96% and 98%.

These have been centred among ultra-Orthodox Jewish communities, some members of which have traditionally been “vaccine adverse”.  Other major outbreaks were recorded in the southeast of Washington state, where anti-vaccine campaigners, some of them powerful voices on the national stage, have tried to push back moves by officials to ensure children – with an exemption for medical situations such as those who have undergone transplants – are vaccinated if they wish to attend school.  “These outbreaks are linked to travellers who brought measles back from other countries such as Israel, Ukraine, and the Philippines, where large measles outbreaks are occurring. Make sure you are vaccinated against measles before travelling internationally,” the CDC said of the cases in New York and elsewhere.

Earlier this month, legislators in Washington state’s upper chamber passed a measure that would remove the right of parents to object to measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccinations on personal of philosophical grounds. Religious and medical exemptions will still be allowed for all vaccinations, under the measure, which is expected to be passed by the lower chamber and signed into law by Mr Inslee.  One of most high-profile anti-vaccine campaigners to have visited the Pacific Northwest is Robert F Kennedy Jr, an environmentalist and nephew of the assassinated president John F Kennedy. He has claimed, contrary to the overwhelming weight of medical evidence and research, that vaccines can cause autism in children.  At a public hearing earlier this year, he said to parents: “Do we want to be a country that forces its children or parents to engage in risky medical interventions without informed consent?”  Anti-vaccine campaigners have taken heart from Donald Trump, who during a 2015 presidential primary debate, said he believed vaccines could be dangerous.  Prior to the election, Mr Trump met with four prominent anti-vaccine campaigners at a fundraiser in Florida – disbarred and disgraced British doctor Andrew Wakefield, Mark Blaxill, editor-at-large of the Age of Autism website, Gary Kompothecras, a chiropractor and Trump donor from Sarasota, and Jennifer Larson, an entrepreneur who has campaigned against vaccines in Minnesota.  Mr Wakefield, who in 1998 notoriously suggested he had found a link between autism and the MMR vaccine, a claim subsequently found to be false, has remade himself in the US as a sought-after-speaker by those opposed to vaccines.  In 2017, he was linked to an outbreak of measles among the Somali-American population of Minneapolis, which he had addressed.",33,"uk"

The peak is in the month of may with 113 persons affected by the disease. If we compare these data with those of previous years, one realizes that the cases of measles are on the rise in France, and more especially in the southern part of the territory. In 2016, for example, there are only 79 cases. Public health France indicates that : ""From 1 January 2008 to 31 December 2016, which is in 9 years, more than 24 000 cases of measles were reported in France (of which nearly 15 000 cases for the single year 2011) "".

"2771","The Regional Agency of Health of the New-Aquitaine comes to reveal the number of measles cases recorded in this region : 115 cases since November 2107, including 16 on the university campus, 32 hospitalizations, and 1 patient in the intensive care unit. The health authorities announce, in addition, another focus of infection to Poitiers. But it is likely that the numbers are not the best in the other regions. For specialists of infectious diseases and vaccination, we are facing an epidemic. A serious epidemic, there is one currently in indonesian Papua with more than 800 malnourished children hospitalized, many deaths... measles is an infectious disease caused by a highly contagious virus that touched before, especially the small children from the age of 5-6 months. This is no longer the case : a third of the reported cases concerning persons over the age of 15. However, the cases of measles in adults are potentially more dangerous. The microbes strike groups measles is an infectious disease of viral origin, eruptive and very contagious, which is linked to a ""paramyxovirus"". It is transmitted mainly by the airborne route, for example when a sick person who is contagious coughs, he sends in the air of micro-droplets of saliva infected with virus. It is also possible to get measles after contact with a surface contaminated by nasal secretions and sputum. To spread, virus-like, therefore, the promiscuity, the meetings. What could be more favourable than that of a campus student ? It is one of the university campus that is part of the epidemic of bordeaux. The phase of contagiousness starts the day before the first symptoms appear, and extends up to 5 days after the beginning of the appearance of the buttons. The young doctors are not very familiar with the early signs of measles (fever, red eyes, cough, and abdominal pain), that is to say before the appearance of the buttons. Thus, according to the specialists, a person infected infects 15 to 20 others. Only protection : vaccination is The only way to avoid getting measles is to get vaccinated. Very effective, the vaccine is only contraindicated in the allergic to egg white, in the immunocompromised, and pregnancy. This is a vaccine where there is no adjuvant to the aluminum, this should reassure the most worried. Traditionally, the regimen consists of the injection of a dose of MMR vaccine (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) at 12 months and then a second injection between 16 and 18 months. For people who have never been vaccinated against measles, catch-up is possible. It consists of the injection of two doses of vaccine at least one month apart. In the event of an outbreak, it is possible to receive the vaccine up to 72 hours after contact with a person suffering from measles to prevent the occurrence of the disease (catch-up vaccination). A failure of the immunization policy in France In 1980, before widespread vaccination, there were 600, 000 cases of measles in France. The current outbreak of measles shows that France is still endemic situation vis-a-vis the measles, and that it is not immune to a new outbreak of magnitude as the card of the infections of 2017 makes it appear that the diagnostics are divided in rather homogeneous over the territory. The scenario of an epidemic is all the more credible that the immunization coverage is too low. Only 79 % of babies of 2 years old are vaccinated. However, with a virus of the level of contagiousness of the ""paramyxovirus"" of measles, it would be necessary to achieve 95 % vaccine coverage to prevent any circulation of the virus in France. Immunization coverage required in Europe France is far from isolated in the face of this resurgence of measles. Our neighbours italians, belgians and germans have been faced with a sudden increase in cases. Further to the east, Romania must also combat an outbreak that is very active. In Europe, a plan for measles elimination was set in place between 2005 and 2010. We are talking about elimination when no outbreak – however small – does not take place for a year or more. It is based on vaccination, where the logic of the vaccination requirement in France from 2018. It has very good market in the countries of northern Europe, for example in the netherlands, where measles has disappeared completely. Measles is not a benign disease The Regional Agency of Health of New-Aquitaine declares that, in the 77 cases reported since November 2017, twelve have led to a hospitalization, more than a 6 ! During the epidemic of 2011 in France, more than 15,000 people were infected and 10 deaths had been identified. Since 2008, more than 23 000 cases of measles were reported in France and more than 1000 cases of measles have led to complications and sequelae. Measles may be complicated, especially in infants or in persons with fragile, and lead to a hospitalization. It is primarily a pneumonia with superinfection by bacteria. It is a serious infection of the lung that can lead the patient in the icu. Then, it is a risk of viral infection of the brain ("" encephalitis ""). These complications can lead to death, and give of pulmonary sequelae and neurological life. Mobilization needed families and doctors In view of this situation, public Health in France recommend to families and health professionals to be vigilant. Measles became a notifiable disease in France. In the Face of a measles, the vaccine calendar of loved ones needs to be systematically verified. If the schema is incomplete, a catch-up vaccination or post-exposure prophylaxis will prevent the spread of the virus. For nearly 15 years, the surveillance had led to a decline in the number of cases and reduce the peak of the epidemic in the spring. The case of the region's New-Aquitaine demonstrate that these efforts are being erased by the negligence or the resistance of some to the vaccination. ",32,"france"

And even if ""children's disease"" sounds harmless: The late follow are more deadly than long assumed. The Minister of health, Jens Spahn (CDU) wants to introduce a compulsory vaccination for children, the SPD approval signals. Ten questions and answers to a disease that is often underestimated. How many measles cases there are in Hamburg? Per month, statistically a good one. According to the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) reported illness in the past year, 14 measles. In 2017, it was eight. Measles: Are children are especially vulnerable? One might assume, but more than half of the measles cases relate to today's Teens and young adults. Because: In the group between 1970 and 1993-Born, less than half are vaccinated against measles. Many are become by a disease of the immune system, however, 15 percent are considered to be unprotected. Why are recommended by the Stiko (""Standing Committee on vaccination""), a measles vaccination only after 1970 Born? In 1970, vaccination. Most of which were small children, are sick with the measles and are therefore immune. It's enough if I was vaccinated as a child against measles? According to the Robert Koch-Institute, it is a life-long immunization is sufficient if you get as a small child with two vaccinations. Reason: Against measles is to be vaccinated with a highly effective live vaccine. In addition, the Virus does not change – unlike the influenza virus constantly. What is so dangerous about measles? It is estimated that worldwide are still dying every day, 330 people in measles. In Germany, three to seven per year. For comparison: Prior to 1970, an average of 120 per year in Germany alone. The most dangerous complication: the brain inflammation that occurs in about one out of 1000 measles cases. It can lead to mental retardation and paralysis. Small children can also inflammation years after a measles infection to SSPE, the developing subacute sclerosing Panencephalitis, a fatal Brain. If live vaccine is inoculated, not complications can occur even when Vaccinated against measles? Theoretically Yes, but with an extremely low probability. Worldwide, there are individual cases in which the connection to vaccination is also not definitely detected. There is a study that brings the measles vaccination with autism, what is it? The only study that claims the connection, comes from 1998 and was created by Andrew Wakefield, who wanted to market to a developed autism-Test. The data have been exposed as faked and manipulated. In 2010, the magazine moved to the study in the Lancet final. Why is it in years of outbreaks of measles? Measles virus circulating in the population. Can outbreaks occur, but only if many people meet with gaps to each other. A spokeswoman for the Robert Koch Institute: ""Because the measles are not eradicated, the Virus again and again, so-called Pockets of unvaccinated people, among whom the disease is spreading quickly."" What speaks against a mandatory vaccination? The state can't arrange an intervention in the physical integrity, this is a constitutional law high Well. The hard core of opponents from power, according to the Federal centre for health education, however, only two to four percent of the population is decreasing all the time.

With the discovery in the case of measles, Mumps, and RSV infections, this could be a first step. The Protein ABCE1 is for the propagation of measles-, Mumps - and HRSV-virus required. It is missing, can multiply the virus any more. | PEO, scientists of the Paul-Ehrlich-Institute (PEI) found in an international research network that ABCE1, a member of the ABC Transporter protein family, a key role in the protein synthesis of all three virus types in this respect. This is an important step, because only a few treatment options for severe viral diseases are available. Researchers have made the end of the Paul-Ehrlich-Institute, Prof. Veronika von Messling, to September 2018, the head of the Department of veterinary medicine, along with scientists from the USA, Singapore and Canada in search of common points of Attack from the virus of the virus family Paramyxoviridae and Pneumoviridae. These include such virus families, a number of clinically important viruses, such as measles and mumps virus (Paramyxoviridae) or the human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV) (Pneumoviridae), the severity of respiratory infections in infants caused. In this case, the goal is to find new starting points for the development of effective medicines is. How dangerous is measles? Measles is considered one of the most contagious viral infectious diseases. The Transmission of the measles virus is mainly by droplet infection. read more use of RNA interference For your search, the research group used the RNA interference (Gene silencing): A double-stranded RNA molecules (siRNA) to silence genes by causing the degradation of complementary Messenger RNA (mRNA, messenger RNA). As a result, the proteins will not be formed, the products of these genes. The research group of Messling carried out such Screens with measles-, Mumps - and HRSV-virus and compared the results to find the processes and signal pathways in the cell, the use of all three virus types. The focus of ABCE1, a member of the ABC Transporter family, which possess an ATP-binding cassette came here. In further experiments, the researchers showed researchers that ABCE1 for the propagation of all three virus types is essential. ABCE1 as a host factor of the virus not needed ""Our research results provide only an Overview of the cellular proteins and signaling pathways associated with infection by the measles, Mumps and HRSV-virus, but on show for the first time, that ABCE1 is required as a host factor of the virus. This could possibly be an important starting point for the development of broadly effective antiviral drugs,“ explains von Messling, the significance of the findings. (PEI, idw, red)",32,"germany"

"4024","Christiane Knoll: Why is it in Madagascar with 15,000 measles cases? Ole Wichmann: You have to understand that measles are terribly contagious, and there is a vaccination available, which works very well. This means that if you see somewhere large outbreaks, this does not mean actually that the vaccination rates in the population accordingly. Madagascar is now a country where, for many years, the vaccination rates are not already there, where you should be. To prevent measles, a vaccination Coverage of 95 percent or higher, and in Madagascar, it is well below 70 percent. Vaccination programmes in developing countries, Knoll: in the absence of the money or the will? Wichmann: I think, in Madagascar, it is primarily the Impfsystem. You have to understand, in Madagascar or in many developing countries, the state's vaccination programs are, and just Madagascar is a country where the vaccination programme of the state do not exist everywhere, and penetrates into the peripheral regions, there are large differences between richer and poorer areas, and that the vaccination programme does not come through. Distrust of the government's Knoll: the world health organization has declared the Impfskepsis one of the ten biggest threats to world health. In Madagascar this is not the primary cause, but in the Philippines. Could you briefly describe to you what is happening in the Philippines right now? Wichmann: So the thought that there is here a connection with a new vaccine that is introduced a few years ago, and against the so-called Dengue fever. Was, or is, a very, very new vaccine and the Philippines were one of the first country or the first country that has introduced wide, and because he was relatively new, didn't know you still have all of the characteristics of this vaccine. There has been actually out in the last time, that there is a, I would say less of a Problem as this is a side effect, and then the program was there, as this turned out to be, stopped. But the led in the population, a General distrust against the government or against the national vaccination programme, so that then there is also the Measles vaccination rates subsequently fell. Attacks on Impfteams in Pakistan Knoll: Why the loss of confidence in vaccines around the world? Can you explain briefly what are the deeper causes? Wichmann: So the very different reasons. In General, vaccines are actually very, very effective and also very safe, and when of course the disease then disappear, then the population will not be reminded of my turn, how important vaccination is. Because the vaccinations are simply a victim of its own success, it must be said, in many regions. Then with certainty, I think, also the Internet is that misinformation about vaccinations spread faster now than 30 years ago. You just have to say that the distrust of the population can have many causes. Especially in developing countries, so also religious reasons are part of, for example, that there is Belief that possibly even vaccines come explicitly from the West to sterilize the population. For example, one of the allegations in some regions is circulated once. So, therefore, there may be very many differences. Or, for example, in the regions of Pakistan where polio occurs, the are just very hard-to-reach regions, mountain regions, where, then, but also so-called Warlords life, or where it is very difficult and even dangerous, for the government or for the vaccination program on-site to occur. Therefore, in these regions there were also attacks specifically on the vaccination groups, or Impfteams, who wanted to vaccinate against Polio. This contributes, of course, that the vaccination rates are often low, not necessarily now, for reasons of belief, but simply of the availability or the security of the political Situation. Outbreaks in Madagascar and the Philippines Knoll: what is your assessment, you would see the Whole as Hotspots, as a small warning shots, or is it a Trend that really goes clear to the bottom? Wichmann: I think there are many countries where the vaccination rates are stable. So I think even in Germany we have our own problems, but the Children are vaccination rates are actually very stable and satisfactory. There are, however, a global perspective, some of the Hotspots, where there are clearly Trends downward with the vaccination rates and safety of such outbreaks, like the one we have currently in Madagascar or the Philippines, are, of course, warning signs are actually that you need to see on a global level, where the need is shown to act. The Good thing is the vaccinations, which are very, very effective, and you can then actually, if one has the will and the financial power, also through vaccination campaigns such gaps relatively quickly close it again, but must of course be the Situation also, but the warning signs that you need to take at the global level, serious and also by the world health organization very seriously are.

Now the thief has moved on to the House, and there should be protests in the public space, where is the way out of members, or in the Constitution, so as to be held centrally. Think about the way. If the thieves are stealing the very attractive, and I hear that the Police were looking for them by the Soldiers, why don't you stop stealing in the future? Protesting in the wrong place, they are grist to the mill of those in the SDP to tell the people they don't know what he's protesting, but I was just going out for the sheep. I'm guessing that you've already heard the news, the judiciary Committee of the Senate, under the sponsorship of senator Serban Nicolae, and with the support of Traian Basescu, who added the draft of a pardon, the amendments, which allows for the pardon of those convicted for acts of corruption or, more precisely, as a concise presentation of the Original “the taking of a bribe, giving bribe, trading in influence, buying influence, the acts committed by the members of the court of arbitration, or in relation to them, the acts committed by the servants of strangers, or in connection with them”. It's finally gracing the direct penalties of no more than 3 years, minus the years from the older, the preferential treatment for women, and the elderly, and so on. one after another he had promised previously, that the social democratic party will not support the amendment of the draft, but the amendments that have been introduced, and that's up for debate in the Senate, then the house of representatives, which is the decision making process. About the abuse of power has not yet been discussed, but that time is gone. You can blame it on the national liberal party. The committee vote was 5-3, but two of the members of the NLP have been absent from the board. All the king's men, defenders of the Romanian chiuleau, even though it was obvious what was going to happen in the commission of Nicholas, there. But what I really want to see more of the attention, it's the fall of Traian Basescu, the man who is now defending and supporting these amendments, including to the media. Prime minister built his whole career on the image of a fighter for justice. Justice and truth, not in the name of winning his first term? At the time, his DNA started to work, and have started the investigations against some of the years and in the end, they steal ace. And over the mandates of the president, with the image of a survivor. He's been through a couple suspensions, he survived for hours, the blue economic crisis, in clashes with the Clutch, the rumors are dubious, and so on. It was fun, an easier front the positive is generated precisely by the fact that the British never followed up on Thursday. But where did it come Basescu, now you don't. I saw an interview right after the vote in the judiciary Committee in which you explain how the regulation of abuse of office in favor of the accused, it is because the country is facing some pretty serious situations, such as the outbreak of measles. How do you have it, the mumps, “which killed 23 of the children”, and the lack of drugs is the fault of the state that can't meet its commitments to the people... because of the allegations of abuse of office... I don't know, it doesn't make any sense. Take a look to the full interview below, it twists your mind in the explanation not making any sense. Get it at minute 33:20, that's where you start: and Then he said that during the election campaign, the officials do various issues with money, the more of a banner, more leaflets, because that's the way to do it. It would be wrong to say they're wrong, you just have to reset it and it went away with the clean sheet. What??!! Even considering that, he's right, what's the point of these real-life situations relating to the financing of the election campaign, with large-scale corruption in the country, the theft of the overview of the billions of euros in all sorts of contracts, poor from the public purse? You can't build anything in this country, that is already there it just goes into a state of decay, and on the news, you only hear how some people take bribes of millions of dollars in a single day. The Romanian has a huge problem with corruption, the state is rotten all the way through. This corruption should be punished more severely, not forgiveness, and it was only after we take her out completely, and forever, we can fix the small individual cases, by fine-tuning the law. Look at the declaration of Many, I'm to be punished for those of you who have taken the money at home. But other than that, the money went into the jackets, into the shadows, cause that's just how they've got things in real life. All of the people potlici who have been through the campaign, except that in 2016, before the election of 2014, and they have all these problems. Remember, the condition of the cities of mazgalite to meshuri. Do you remember the poor guy who gave the chick, and he was convicted. I had brought a chicken at home. Severin said, “if everyone is stealing, it is necessary to remove the penalty for theft.” Now, Basescu says that stealing is only when you for yourself at home, and not to the political party or electoral votes. I don't know if he's doing this out of love for Elena Udrea. I'm of the opinion that it is a part of the money, and he got it. To complete the crowning, at the end, he said, “needs to be solved, and the removal of the political class, under the control of prosecutors,” because otherwise, the politicians are staying apprehensive, you will be called to the hardwood floors.

The disease was considered eradicated in the State in 2016 because he was chained for several years without being given any case, but in 2017 there were more than twenty 7 and there was one fatality. Alexandre Lourenço, president of the Portuguese Association of Hospital Administrators, told the journal lisbon Public sector it is necessary to perform a job of ""raising awareness"", so as not to violate the individual freedom of the citizens, but added that if this campaign does not give its fruit would be to study another type of measures, ""as to redefine the requirements for the exercise of the profession."" The debate in Portugal goes beyond that. From the College of Physicians does not support imposing the immunization to the entire population, a position that unless you shoot the cases, it also support experts gallegos. But, in addition to establishing requirements for the health lusos, also point out that it would not be disposable require those who work in schools that have completed their immunization record. The World Health Organization (WHO) said in a recent report, his concern for the increase in cases of measles in Europe in 2017: a to 400% more than in the previous year. The figures begin to show the effect of the campaigns of the antivacunas, throwing conspiracy theories about immunization. But the concern reaches out to countries outside.

Most people with measles recover without complications in a week. However, for infants, people with immune deficiencies, and other vulnerable populations, the consequences of a measles infection can be serious. Can occur rare complications, such as pneumonia, encephalitis, other secondary infections, blindness and even death. Before they develop the measles vaccine, the disease killed between two and three million people a year around the world. At present, it still causes more than 100,000 deaths per year around the world. In the year 2000, it was declared the elimination of measles in the united States, the not be observed sustained transmission of the virus for more than 12 months. Today, however, the united States and many other countries which had eliminated the disease are experiencing outbreaks of concern from measles. In an article published in the journal ""New England Journal of Medicine"", these researchers remind us that measles can be prevented with a vaccine that is highly effective and safe. Every complication and every death associated with measles is a ""tragedy that is preventable that could have been avoided through the vaccination"", assures the authors. ""Some people are reluctant to vaccinate their children based on misinformation widespread of the vaccine. For example, they may fear that increase the risk of autism of your child, a falsehood based on a claim discredited and fraudulent. A very small number of people has a valid medical contraindication for the vaccine against measles, such as certain immunodeficiencies, but nearly all can be vaccinated with security"", they set out. When the levels of vaccine coverage decrease, the weakened umbrella of protection provided by the 'herd immunity' (direct protection that results when a percentage high enough of society is immune to the disease), it puts small children to non-vaccinated and immunocompromised persons in a situation of increased risk. ""This can have disastrous consequences"", warn. At this point, the authors describe a case in which a single child with measles infected 23 other children in a clinic for pediatric cancer, with a mortality rate of 21 per cent.

The main reasons for the utrotningsmalet has not been achieved, poverty, war, and distrust of the vaccine.

So, what can we do? Trust is what we need! The most important is that all children come to child care centres, and that the group will meet parents ' concerns in a knowledgeable and respectful manner. When they can't reach it, it needs to be supported. Parents who refuse to vaccinate should be made available for the meeting, with highly-trained, experienced medical professionals. If the parents of the suspect, vaccinbiverkan, the child must be examined very carefully, and the specialist, if the symptoms are severe. All adverse events must also be reported to the Fda.

A concern, all the more that, according to experts, less than one in ten cases is reported to the authorities. Different epidemiological studies suggest that the effect of protection afforded by the vaccine decreases over time. This could be explained by the frequency of other infectious diseases such as malaria, as well as by living conditions (overcrowded housing, in particular, would promote greater exposure). If, in such contexts, the vaccine may lose its effectiveness over time, however, it remains active : the mortality rate due to measles is much lower in vaccinated children than among those who are not.

At the global level, the number of cases has increased 300% in the first half of 2019, all were 364.808. But according to the Who, in the world's less than one case in 10 is reported, and the epidemic is much more extended compared to the official statistics, every year the victims of the measles would be around 6.7 million. Once the contract there is no cure for measles, but it can be prevented with two doses of the vaccine. Thanks to vaccination between 2000 and 2016, about 20 million deaths in the world have been avoided. The return in force of the disease by 2016 has been attributed to the bad access to care in remote parts of the world and the growing mistrust in vaccines, starting with the western Countries. To Grass the Fatebenefratelli hospital – reports the Sir – has pointed to the need to keep your guard up already last year, in August, when there had been some cases of measles on adolescents. “Are adolescents not vaccinated or have received only one dose of the vaccine,” was the explanation provided to the press by the First of the years ‘80, recalls Marian, we are sick with the measles, and those who overcame the acute phase of the disease developed antibodies that were defending for the whole life. From the ’90s by the advent of the trivalent vaccine (measles-German measles-mumps), the disease was almost eradicated, but in recent years due to the non-obligatory nature of vaccination, and the lack of social awareness in parents, the vaccination coverage in the population has fallen below the threshold of 95%",31,"italy"

A girl of just nine years old affected by a genetic disease, which was not, however, be incompatible with the vaccination, it is off on the 28th April for serious complications resulting from the measles. In march this year, the first recorded case in 2017: the death to complications from measles, a child of six years, suffering from acute lymphoblastic leukemia admitted to the pediatric clinic of San Gerardo hospital in Monza. Both cases were known, in the moment in which they were entered in the register of the Istituto Superiore di Sanita, Iss. Perhaps, then, it is needless to reiterate that for months, it sgolano to repeat doctors and scientists. Or that if a child immunedepressed contracts the measles, it is likely that this virus will kill them, and that if a healthy child contracts the measles risks, however, serious complications. Complications that may occur years in the late panencefalite sclerosing subacute. The little girl is deceased after the hospitalization for pneumonia and respiratory failure, complications notes of the measles, which has been indicated as the cause of death by the doctors. For the president of the Iss, Walter Ricciardi, the vaccination could save the life of the little ""why are children at risk for a particular disease are those for whom the vaccination is most strongly indicated"". Ricciardi adds that in diseases that compromise the immune system, the vaccination is not possible, but in the other ""as those genetic vaccinate is even more important."" And the primary Pediatrics of the Infant Jesus, Alberto Villani, explains that the baby suffered from a chromosomal anomaly, a genetic disease complex. ""He was in the care of this disease. She arrived in the emergency room with high fever and a framework that has led to hospitalization in the icu for 10 days. Here was made the diagnosis of measles, "" explains Villani - The death was caused by multiorgan failure. Was a child in conditions of great fragility, and had not been vaccinated. Unfortunately, the climate influenced by the fake news has scared parents who see vaccination as an opportunity"". For Villani, the loss of the little girl is almost paradoxical because, as he says, ""you can win a battle against cancer but lost one against an infectious disease such as measles that can be prevented by the vaccine."" And experts insist: the problem is exactly the loss of immunity of the flock due to the decrease of vaccine coverage. A huge risk for those who truly cannot be vaccinated, such as, for example, the child profile similar to leukemia, only protected if the infectious disease thanks to the vaccine, is eradicated. And instead cases of measles continue to rise. Are 3.074 those recorded from the beginning of the year in our Country, of which 979 in Lazio, the region in record numbers.

The little girl was suffering from a genetic disease, the abnormal, and he was hospitalized from April 19. The news was given by the Republic and subsequently confirmed by the press agency ANSA. The child died of the measles at the Infant Jesus of Rome, The little girl, born in February 2008 he was resident in the city of Latina. The pre-existing disease from which she was suffering (cromosopatia), detect sources of health, was not, however, be incompatible with the measles vaccination. The beginning of the symptoms (fever and conjunctivitis) dates back to the 14th of April, and the diagnosis of measles was confirmed in the laboratory on the 26th of April. The complications reported by the small are pneumonia and respiratory failure. The latter is also reported as the cause of death. The president of the higher Institute of health (Iss) Walter Ricciardi, said the press agency ANSA that the girl “could have been vaccinated and could have saved if it had been”. “For this little girl – she said Ricciardi – the vaccination was indeed much more useful, and this is because the children are at risk for a particular disease are those for whom the vaccination is most indicated. The small could have been saved if she had been immunized against measles”. Essential, he warns, “is therefore a call to all the doctors because vaccinino at-risk children. There are diseases in which vaccinations are not possible, since the immune system is compromised, but in other diseases, such as those of the genetic – detects Ricciardi – vaccinate is even more important.” The epidemic of measles on The death of the child has been placed yesterday in the platform of integrated surveillance measles-rubella ADA, ISS. Today warned Ricciardi, “we are in a situation of epidemic measles. In general, there is an average of one case of death due to measles every 3000 cases, but we are already two deaths in a few months”, considering also the death of the child profile similar to leukemia in Monza. Ricciardi has invited you to raise the guard, also in relation to diseases such as tetanus: “Today we have registered a case of tetanus in a child hospitalized in Sardinia. the tetanus reappeared after 30 years, and this is because there has been a hesitation on the part of parents to vaccinate after a trauma. It is a madness – ends Ricciardi – completely unjustified”. “Certainly, if he had not had the measles, she would not die in April,” he said instead to the Adn Kronos Alberto Villani, head of Pediatrics at the Bambino Gesu hospital in Rome and president of the Italian Society of Pediatrics, interviewed by the agency Say on the case of a girl of 9 years died last April at the children's hospital of the roman because of the complications due to measles, against which it was vaccinated. The girl, residing in the city of Latina, was affected by a genetic disease called ‘abnormal’ and she was hospitalized on the 19th of April. The case dates back to two months ago, but the news has emerged just now. “These situations are a cultural fact, he continued, Villani – if, at times, the fact that a child is not vaccinated depends on the parents rather than by the doctor or by someone else is relatively important. What should be emphasized, according to me, is that it must change the culture of health care, you have to say’ so that all together, and the journalists in this have a very important role, you can create a serene climate around the immunizations, which are an excellent opportunity and as such must be lived by all. Otherwise, it is clear that in the face of hoaxes, inventions and all sorts once you will be the parent, another time it will be the doctor more doubtful, once again, the journalist, and this creates the cultural climate in which a child - he concluded - that must be vaccinated could not be.”",31,"italy"
"6477","Measles regresses the immune system to that of a child and makes you vulnerable against diseases already had. Measles is a virus that can cause long-term damage to our immune system and makes you vulnerable to other infections, even those against whom it already has an immunity (in practice, those that have been already contracted). Occurs a kind of ‘amnesia immunological’ that has significant adverse effects on health, but that can be avoided with vaccination. Is the major scientific discovery of the researchers from the Wellcome Sanger Institute and the University of Amsterdam, as reported by the press agency Adnkronos. In one study, researchers reveal how the virus is able to delete part of the memory of the immune system, by removing the immunity previously existing other infections. The team has demonstrated for the first time that the measles reduces the human immune system in an immature state, similar to that of a child, with a consequent limited capacity to respond to new external aggression. Published on ‘Science Immunology’, the study explains, therefore, why children often get sick again after having the measles, and stresses the importance of vaccination to prevent not only contract this virus, but also other dangerous infections, such as influenza, diphtheria, or tuberculosis, even in people who were previously immune. If it was already known that measles is capable of inflicting a hard blow to the immune system, even after the initial infection has been eradicated, so far, he had thoroughly investigated on the phenomenon. The researchers therefore examined a group of unvaccinated persons in the Netherlands. Blood samples were taken for the first time from healthy volunteers of this community, who were followed up after an outbreak of measles in 2013. The researchers then sequenced the genes of antibody of 26 children before and 40-50 days after contract measles. Finding that specific cells of the immune memory, which had been ‘built’ against other diseases and that were present before the infection, had disappeared from the blood of the children, making them vulnerable, too, to infectious disease in respect of which they were previously immune. “This study, "" said the lead author, Velislava Petrova – is a direct demonstration of amnesia immunological situation in which the immune system forgets how to respond to infections encountered previously. We have shown that the measles lead directly to the loss of protection against other infectious diseases.” A process that has been confirmed in the animal model, testing some ferrets. Furthermore, it was discovered that the measles virus regresses the immune system to a state of immaturity that can only produce a limited type of antibody, increasing the risk of secondary illnesses. “For the first time – note Colin Russell, the senior author of the University of Amsterdam – we have seen that, after the measles, the immune system becomes similar to that of a child, with limited capacity to respond to new infections. In some children the effect is so strong that it is similar to that produced by powerful immunosuppressive drugs. Are the results that have enormous implications for public health, because we demonstrate that vaccination against the measles not only protects against this disease, but also from other infections”.",31,"italy"

Adults tend to have more severe disease than young children, and patients are immune-compromised may not have spots on their skin. Measles, which is vaccine-preventable, it is transmitted over the air and by direct contact with secretions from the nose or throat of infected persons. With an incubation period that can vary between seven and 21 days, the transmission provides four days before and four days after the emergence of the rash (a skin rash). Consider this if you are already protected against measles, people who have had the disease, or who have two doses of the vaccine, in the case of children aged less than 18 years of age, and one dose when it comes to adults. Vaccination is the primary measure for the prevention of measles, which by being free of charge and is included in the National Program of Vaccination (PNV). All children should be vaccinated at 12 months of age and repeat vaccination at the age of five. “You are cautioned that, as to the need for parents to vaccinate their children without a second thought, once the vaccine is available in the country,” he said of the DGS in a statement today, issued a warning that it has often been said that on an ongoing basis.

Here has fallen from the King to Rajoy... In a democratic society, the news arrive to the call of public opinion, the masses, through the media. But, is this the reality? The recent elections provide a really polyhedral with multiple edges. We are able to focus on the failure of socialism in Madrid with all the wind. In the debacle popular with the worst results of its recent history. In the disaster strategic Citizens without getting forward on the PP or lead the opposition. In the frustrated expectations of Vox. In the siren songs of Errejón that have been reduced to a simple jingle. Or the problem state which means the seat of european pro-independence supporters. But not. The great defeated of May seems to be we Can. It is real failure of the so-called “councils for change” not so much by the fickleness of the electorate Spanish as the dream of “conquering the sky” when they still have not fixed the feet on the ground. This disaster, it should be adjudicárselo calls confluences that have wanted to be the head of the mouse before a lion's tail. Without forgetting the responsibility we Can, forgetting their origins in pursuit of an alleged purity “anguitista” that nothing leads in troubled times. Not to despise is the “I didn't see it coming” of the espantá of Errejón. Therefore, the heart analytical that we all have led us to ask on election night, the head of Churches. However, on election night, kept a prudent silence. And first thing Monday the 27th appeared before the media to accept defeat, to raise the self-criticism but without resign. Immediately afterwards we met in the Sixth on the best policy action is to remember him. Without being formed the Government of the nation. In the absence of development of policy for four years. And waiting to enhance Europe before the harassment of the extreme right, it is so easy to resign, to which will still may require. What is difficult is to rise above the short-termism and think with the head of State. Far from the arrogance of “assemble the council of ministers” at a press conference, spoke of to help, with the modesty of our results and knowing the place they occupy. It is often forgotten that a month ago United We drew three million, seven hundred thousand votes. Comparing the two elections, the message is clear. Sanchez and the socialist party (PSOE) have earned the governance of the country. But we want you to help not to be left in the hands of the vane Rivera. Now, in the municipal and regional os we punish them by your divisions and by a lack of equipment to manage the day-to-day. Maduraz and learn, and have told the spaniards. And so it seems to have understood Paul's Churches. I understand that in the immediacy of the “zascas” and the “tuiters” the failure looks like one of those plumes dense and green of the shoots dipped in a kitchen of winter. But when it dissipates the smoke they enjoy the warmth of a job well done. Since 2015 barely four years have passed. Nothing, if you look with historical perspective. And although all the credit has not been of we Can, the cleaning has been enormous. Here has fallen from the King to Rajoy, passing by Alfonso Guerra, the deputy is eternal. With that perspective, two facts have been crucial, if we make abstraction of the corruption. The fall and rise of Pedro Sanchez encouraged by the foundation socialist, a phoenix, have risen up the Socialist Party by returning the hegemony policy. And the motion of censure descabalgó the PP of the power where there is no doubt that the conductor of the orchestra led United we Can after the shot that marked the way. That alone justifies very well the existence of a political force so young. You must understand the failure as measles. And as such childhood disease to take care of her with medications “political” and rest. A lot of rest. When you leave she will find that your body has been skinny, but has stretch. Then it only remains to feed it with stews of addition and not of subtraction, multiplication and not division. As for the future of Churches, I don't know the insides of the Can. Although it seems that the payment of the mortgage, the electric bills, water, gas, and telephone, along with the responsibility of raising their children have turned him into an adult political that I wish that, like Thomas more, never miss utopia. And, if it is worth of something, having regard to what has been seen, it is best to leave to rule the PSOE in solitary. He has earned it and is better for all. In May, after two historic years of the demonstrations of 8 March, it is time that, in the century of women, a woman leads it. And , what then, Paul? A good idea would be to appoint him representative to the European Union. It would be a message to slow down the impetus of the extreme right. Maybe so, in a simile of bullfighting, cut the pigtail. Many bullfighters have contributed more to the world of bullfighting from the farms in the yellow sand. There I leave it.",31,"spain"

"38113","Parents of primary school starters have been urged to get children immunised as it is confirmed the UK is no longer classed as a measles free country.  As thousands of parents across the East Midlands prepare their children to start primary school in the next few weeks, Public Health England (PHE) East Midlands is warning that 7000 5-year olds in the region may not be fully up-to-date with some routine immunisations.  These worrying estimates, released as part of PHE’s Value of Vaccines campaign, show that some 4 and 5-year olds are starting school at unnecessary risk of serious diseases compared to the majority of their classmates, prompting a call for parents to check their child’s Red Book to ensure their children are up-to-date with scheduled immunisations.  Hundreds of Derbyshire children not getting MMR vaccine due to ‘fake news’ on social media  Dr Vanessa MacGregor, Consultant in Communicable Disease Control at PHE East Midlands, said: “It’s a real concern that so many young children in our region could be starting school without the full protection that the NHS childhood immunisation programme offers for free.  ""We know that parents want the best protection for their children and so many may be unaware that their child is not up-to-date.  ""We’re urging all parents of primary school starters to check their child’s Red Book now to make sure there is a record of two MMR doses and the 4-in-1 booster vaccine. If not, parents should contact their GP practice to arrange any further vaccinations that are needed.  “We’re particularly concerned about children being at greater risk of measles. We’ve seen outbreaks of this disease in the East Midlands in the past year and we’re continuing to see outbreaks of the disease occurring in communities across the country, many linked to visiting European countries over the summer holidays. The vast majority of those affected are not fully immunised and vaccine preventable diseases spread more easily in schools. It’s crucial that children have maximum protection as they begin to mix with other children at the start of their school journey.  “We often think that these diseases are confined to the past, but the World Health Organisation has recently confirmed that measles is no longer eliminated in England. Whilst tetanus and polio are still rare thanks to the success of the NHS childhood immunisation programme, over the past few years we’ve also seen cases of whooping cough and diphtheria in school-aged children.”  .The UK has lost its measles-free status, three years after the virus was eliminated in the country.  In the first quarter of 2019, there were 231 confirmed cases in the UK.  GPs are being asked to promote catch-up vaccinations for children who may have missed out on both doses.  And social media companies are being urged to quash misleading anti-vaccine messages.  In the UK, dose 1 of the MMR vaccine, which protects against Measles, Mumps and Rubella, is usually given to infants at around 12 months of age. A second dose is given before school, usually at 3 years and 4 months of age, to ensure best protection. Two doses of MMR in a lifetime are needed for a person to be considered fully protected. The 4-in-1 pre-school booster is also usually offered at 3 years and 4 months of age and protects against diphtheria, whooping cough, tetanus and polio.  Around 680,000 five-year-olds start school in England each year according to Department for Education figures. Based on percentage uptake from latest vaccination coverage figures* PHE estimates that:  Over 30,000 (around 1 in 19) five-year olds may still need to receive their first dose of MMR, leaving them significantly more at risk compared to pupils who are fully vaccinated. Around 2,000 of these children are in the East Midlands.  Around 90,000 (around 1 in 7) five-year olds in England may still need to receive their second dose of MMR vaccine. Around 7,000 of these children are in the East Midlands.  Around 100,000 (around 1 in 8) five-year olds in England may still need their 4-in-1 pre-school booster that protects against diphtheria, whooping cough, tetanus and polio. Around 7,000 of these children are in the East Midlands.  This means more than 5 per cent of five-year olds are starting reception year having not received any MMR. This leaves them at high risk of measles at a time when outbreaks of the disease are occurring across the country.  To check that your child has received all their vaccines on schedule, go to https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/vaccinations/nhs-vaccinations-and-when-to-have-them/ and refer to your child’s Red Book. If in any doubt, contact your GP practice.  It’s never too late for a child to be immunised. PHE’s catch-up call for primary school starters follows the issue of a new GP contract from NHS England and Improvement which also encourages 10 and 11-year olds to be caught up with any missing MMR vaccinations prior to them reaching secondary school age.  Prof Helen Stokes-Lampard, Chair of the Royal College of GPs, said: ""We are still suffering from the now entirely debunked MMR scandal of the nineties, and it is potentially disastrous that as a result so many young people are now susceptible to serious, often life-threatening infectious diseases, such as measles, that we could have completely eradicated in this country if this had never happened.  ""People who were not vaccinated as children need to understand that it is not too late to have their MMR jab and we would urge them to do so.""  Health Secretary Matt Hancock said: ""It's easy to forget how devastating measles can be, precisely because vaccines are so effective at preventing it in the first place.  ""With this strategy, the whole health system will come together to renew focus on vaccinations - especially for our children - and this time we will eliminate measles for good.""  Measles is a highly contagious and dangerous infection. Anyone who has not received two doses of MMR vaccine will be at risk.",31,"uk"

Elsewhere 100 people across Cheshire, Liverpool, the West Midlands and Greater Manchester have suffered.  According to Public Health England (PHE), the current cases are linked to ""ongoing large outbreaks"" in Europe.  Although measles usually begins with cold-like symptoms and a measles rash, it can lead to serious complications such as pneumonia.  The disease can be protected against through an MMR vaccine though.  Dr Mary Ramsay, head of immunisation at PHE, said: ""This serves as an important reminder for parents to take up the offer of MMR vaccination for their children at one year of age and as a pre-school booster at three years and four months of age.  ""Children and young adults who missed out on their MMR vaccine in the past or are unsure if they had two doses should contact their GP practice to catch up.

Experts branded the trend ""worrying"" and called for urgent action to boost uptake and protect younsters from diseases like meningitis, measles and whooping cough.  4 The number of babies and small children being vaccinated against potentially fatal diseases is falling Credit: Getty - Contributor  Rates for some jabs are now so low the general population could be at risk, because there is no longer ""herd immunity"".  This makes it easier for outbreaks to spread and puts unvaccinated people - of all ages - at greater risk.  The downturn comes amid a revival of the so-called ""anti-vax"" movement.  They peddle conspiracy theories and wrongly claim vaccinations cause conditions such as autism.  4 Measles had been eliminated in England - but there have been hundreds of cases of the disease recently Credit: Alamy  But it is thought parents struggling to get appointments at GP surgeries are also to blame.  New figures published by NHS Digital today show rates have fallen for nine out of 12 childhood vaccines.  They increased for one jab and remained constant for three others, over the past year.  Coverage for the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine for kids reaching their second birthday fell to 91.3 per cent in England in 2017/18.  That's down from 91.6 per cent the previous year - and marks the fourth year in a row MMR vaccinations have dropped.  4 Uptake of the MMR vaccine started to fall back in the '90s when Andrew Wakefield made the bogus claim that it could be linked to autism Credit: Alamy  The World Health Organisation's target is 95 per cent coverage for MMR.  WHO declared measles had been ""eliminated"" in the UK last year - after the disease was curtailed for 36 months.  But an outbreak in Europe has spread across the Channel, with a surge in cases here.  There have been 876 cases of measles in England so far this year, according to Public Health England.  The figures also show coverage for the five-in-one vaccine at 12 months has fallen for the fifth year in a row.  It protects babies against diphtheria, whooping cough, tetanus, polio and Hib disease.  The Rotavirus vaccine was the only one that had an increase in coverage.  The North East had the highest coverage across the 12 vaccines and London the lowest.  What are the symptoms of measles? Approximately 10 days after the illness is contracted, signs become noticeable. The NHS outlines the initial symptoms of measles as: cold-like symptoms, such as a runny nose, sneezing, and a cough  sore, red eyes that may be sensitive to light  a high temperature (fever), which may reach around 40C (104F)  small greyish-white spots on the inside of the cheeks A few days after these flu-like symptoms manifest, a rash often begins to appear. Distinctive red-brown blotches spring up on the body, typically beginning at the upper neck and spreading downwards. Severe complications can occur, including miscarriage in pregnant women, brain swelling and the risk of death from pneumonia. If you think you or a family member has measles, tell your GP - and be sure to mention measles on the phone so that they protect you and other patients. To avoid the risk of spreading the disease, avoid as much human contact as possible.  Dr Doug Brown, from the British Society for Immunology, said: “Vaccination saves lives.  “It is one of the safest and most cost-effective methods we have to prevent the spread of disease.  “We need to redouble efforts to ensure that vaccination rates improve.”  Prof Jonathan Ball, from the University of Nottingham, said: “The decline in vaccine uptake is worrying – particularly as many of these infections can cause serious disease and even death.  “It is really important to try to understand why people are not getting their children vaccinated so that measures can be put in place to overcome these barriers.  4 The most cost-effective and safest ways to stop the measles virus in its tracks is to have people inoculated against it Credit: Getty - Contributor  “If uptake continues to decline then we will see increasing numbers of outbreaks and with them, inevitably serious illness and possible death.  Helen Donovan, professional lead for public health at the Royal College of Nursing, added: ""Coverage declined in nine out of 12 of the routine vaccination measures compared to last year.""  ""This means immunity against deadly or life-changing diseases such as tetanus, diphtheria and polio is dropping. These were diseases of the past - they should not be part of our future.""

It heals itself well in many cases, but its complications can be very serious. An update on this disease. The measles is a fever eruption that affects mainly children of preschool age, and babies under 6 months are still protected by maternal antibodies (if the mother has had measles or has been vaccinated). Very contagious, every patient can infect between 15 and 20 people ! This viral disease is the fever, the rash that touch (still) the largest number of children in the world, in spite of vaccination campaigns is important. The main risk is not so much the disease itself that the complications that it generates, sometimes, that generate a high rate of mortality in the countries of the Third World. Brief description of the measles Caused by a paramyxovirus, measles is manifest by a severe skin rash, preceded by a conjunctivitis, a rhinitis, sometimes a cough accompanied by a fever and a feeling of fatigue. The virus is transmitted via the saliva of infected individuals, and the incubation lasts ten days. The patient is contagious for about five days before the rash, and the virus disappears from the blood four days after the beginning of the eruption. If it does not lead to complication, the disease heals in ten days. Measles is very contagious, the doctor diagnosis is required to report each case to health authorities. Read also : scarlet fever, a childhood illness that spectacular symptoms of the measles, The disease occurs in two stages. First of all by a rhinitis, a conjunctivitis, a strong cough, asthenia (fatigue), and a high fever, up to 40°C. During this first phase, the patient may also complain of abdominal pain, difficulty eating, vomiting, and diarrhea. The sign of Köplik permits a diagnosis of measles at this stage. It is small white spots inside the cheeks at the level of the premolars, which disappear with the rash. After three to four days the rash characteristic of measles. It consists of small spots very red, more or less in relief, that leave visible ranges of skin healthy. They appear first on the face, behind the ears, and then descend gradually on the body to reach the feet after three days. It disappears in six to eight days, approximately. Until healing, the patient remains febrile and feel an intense fatigue. Rhinitis and conjunctivitis gradually disappear, but the cough may persist up to the end of the measles. Throughout the convalescence, patients are more exposed to other virus, their immune system has been severely tested by the measles. Once healed, the patient is immune for life against the virus of measles. The most frequent complications of measles unfortunately, These are they who are of the measles, a disease sometimes fatal. They develop in approximately 30% of cases, and most often occur in infants before they are vaccinated, adolescents and adults. Complications without severity of measles, The virus can cause complications that remain benign, such as : disorders O. A. L : acute otitis, laryngitis, diarrhea, prolonged bronchitis, The serious complications of measles Sometimes, the virus causes the onset of disease very severe, which can lead to a hospital and put in danger the life of the patient.

Neurological complications such as encephalitis, which occurs in a case out of a thousand. It causes a high fever, headache, disorders of consciousness, and can cause serious irreversible damage (mental disorders, paralysis, epilepsy), or even lead to the death of the patient. Good to know There has been a resurgence of measles cases in France from 2017. 913 cases were reported, which resulted in 201 hospitalizations and one death.

It protects against the disease in nearly 100% of cases after administration of two doses of the vaccine between 12 and 18 months. The vaccine may cause a mild reaction in 8 days after administration, with a moderate fever and a rash.

In April, they are registered 385 new cases (29 in the last week), a net drop compared to march (when the cases were even the 818) but still higher than 5 times compared to April of 2016, when the cases were 76. Are the data contained in the last bulletin surveillance on measles at the ministry of Health and the Istituto Superiore di Sanita. From the beginning of the year, there are already in 1,920 sick: to have a comparison term, in 2016 there were about 800 cases in the whole year. Of these 1920-by-new cases, 88% refers to people who are not vaccinated. And that measles is not a joke this is confirmed by the numbers: 34% of patients had at least one complication, 40% were hospitalized, 15% are finished to the emergency room. The average age is high, compared to the traditional conception of the ""child"" of the disease: 27 years. There are also 127 cases among health care professionals. The worst affected region is Lazio, with 570 cases, followed by Piedmont (429) and from Lombardy region (242). Very few cases in the south, 57 in Sicily, just 18 in the Calabria region, 8 in Puglia, 1 in Basilicata and 12 in the Campania region.

Also for 2015 (latest data available), in conjunction with the increase in popularity of ""NoVac"", the vaccination coverage in children at 24 months confirm the decreasing trends in almost all of Italy. A decrease in both the compulsory vaccinations (anti-difterica, anti-polio, anti-tetanus, anti-hepatitis B), that some of those recommended.

The data are clear: the only covers that show an increase in the national figure are the pneumococcus, and meningococcus (in the two previous years had registered low values in some Regions and PA).

For diseases that are not present in Italy but potentially be employed, such as polio and diphtheria, the data of the year 2015 show a decline, albeit smaller than in previous years, it stops.

It was a first warning signal, even if the territory had counted only 44 cases of measles in the previous year and 40 two years earlier. On October 20, 2009, Didier Houssin, the director general of health signed an editorial in the Bulletin épidémiologique hebdomadaire, under the title ""Measles: let's campaign!"". It is considered that there should be a vaccination coverage of at least 90-95 % against measles to get a herd immunity. That also helps protect unvaccinated individuals or those in whom the vaccination did not ""market"". This is the case in approximately 5 % of persons vaccinated. The counters epidemiological panic now, in 2008, the national immunisation coverage reached laboriously 90 % (for a dose!) and remained lower, as shown by the grey areas of the map that we publish, in the majority of departments.

At risk are only the students that are not vaccinated, as the Affected at a grammar school. Or in which disease the Vaccination is not effective. Vaccination coverage, the health Department observed in the vintages 1985 and older, low What, meanwhile, is an increase in measles cases in the Birth cohorts of 1985 and older. The explanation: at that Time, the Coverage was not as high as it is today. Many of today's adults are ill in their Childhood measles and are immune against a recurrence of disease. As Dr. Rainer Kundt. ""I got the measles a Lugenentzündung, and lay for six weeks flat. I wish that for nobody,“ said the doctor with a view to Impfverweigerer, the diseases as a part of growing up see and measles parties with Diseased celebrate. Adults should check in case of doubt, their protection status by the end of the 1980s, vaccinated children and young people in accordance with the recommendations of the Standing Committee on vaccination only once. This protection is sufficient, however, not always, as was tragically the case, a three-fold mother cat mountain has proven. The 37-Year-old had died in the middle of may to the consequences of measles disease. The health Department recommends, therefore, the Essenes, strongly, to check the Vaccination and if necessary refresh.",29,"germany"

On Earth, in fact, there are now 2.3 billion people overweight or obese, alcohol, the cause of death of 3 million people per year and the number of smokers goes down to a pace not fast enough. In addition, at least 50 million elderly are living with a form of dementia, and in the various areas of the world there are health emergencies, such as epidemics of measles and malaria. The main emergencies of health Compared to the year 2018, the case for global measles have more than tripled. Even the superbugs continue to pose a threat not to be underestimated: every year 700 thousand people lose their lives because of infections resistant to antibiotics. In addition, the number of individuals exposed to high temperatures increases every year, 125 million. New hopes from the vaccine The year that is about to end has also had the positive aspects. Thanks to the development of new vaccines to fight some of the diseases that threaten global health has intensified. This is the case, for example, malaria: the first large-scale vaccination against this disease was initiated in Malawi, Ghana and Kenya, with the aim of achieving 360mila children a year. In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the ebola virus has infected more than 3,000 people, however, thanks to a new vaccine, pre-qualified in November by the World Health Organization, and of experimental therapeutics, the mortality is small compared to the previous epidemic in West Africa. The Who also reports a positive turning point in the struggle of life styles negative.

"6523","Settle the issue of the return of some diseases such as measles, blaming the parents that don't want to give vaccines to their own children, is a partial telling of the reality. But let's go with order: with vaccines, the concept is simple, the more people that submit, the more are the chances of eradicating the disease. From the moment, however, that many of the infections through hospitals and clinics is vital that health care workers should be immunized in order not to propagate further the disease. In the reality of the facts on the other hand-as is happening in these weeks in Tuscany - a good part of cases of infection involving the doctors and nurses. A real bomb -the possibility that an operator contagion from other people is very high - which turns the spotlight on a problem that is little discussed: vaccination in health care workers, i.e. doctors, nurses and staff. And' what emerges from the congress Medice Cura Te Ipsum, in the course of the Pisa and organized by the Simpios (Italian Society of Multidisciplinary approach to the Prevention of Infections in Health care Organizations). SHOULD HEALTH CARE WORKERS BE VACCINATED? HEALTH WORKERS HAVE A RISK OF CONTRACTING MEASLES 18 TIMES GREATER numbers -even if partial and continuous updating - leave little room for interpretation: in Tuscany, in the first two months of the year, of the 82 cases of measles notified well 33% relate to health professionals. Going to analyze more in depth the two worst-affected provinces -Pisa and Florence - the percentage rises to 50%. Little better is the situation of Piemonte: from December 2016 to 22 march 2017, with the reports of measles have been 334. Among these 30 were carried out in a hospital environment: 23 are health professionals and 7 are the patients. But the most mystifying is the one related to the vaccination coverage: only 2 of the health professionals involved were vaccinated with only 1 dose of vaccine), all the others were not at all. More in general, comparing the data collected over the years, about 10% of all the cases involved health care workers. That's why the numbers in hand, if from one side it is necessary and proper to vaccinate children for measles to be eradicated, it is equally true for those who work in the hospital. Studies show in fact that the latter have a chance 13 times higher of contracting the disease compared to the rest of the population. ATTENTION IN the LANE, But because the whole of this greater susceptibility? Measles is a viral diseases the most contagious and it is not so uncommon that people turn to the health facilities for diagnosis and treatment. A behavior is understandable that can lead to nosocomial transmission if appropriate infection control measures are not immediately instituted, and if the health care professionals of the structure are susceptible to infection. What happened to Pisa in the last few weeks following this logic: the sick infected the health care worker -not vaccinated - which, in turn, infects those around him. A situation even more dangerous if the virus spread -hypothesis is not so remote, to a person admitted with problems of immunosuppression as in the case of the departments of oncohematology. The measles, in fact, albeit manageable, is still responsible for a number between 30 and 100 deaths for every 100 thousand people affected. The complications are mainly due to super-infections, bacterial: otitis media, laryngitis, diarrhea, pneumonia or encephalitis, which occurs more often in infants, in malnourished children or in people immunocompromesse. Getting vaccinated is important, therefore, at all levels. But if the coverage rate in children is 85% (national average, in the autonomous province of Bolzano we are at less than 70%) not good news coming from the intentions of the hospital staff. To draw a picture of the situation are the results of a survey -even if made on 2250 operators, 23.5% doctors - to be presented to congress in pisa: almost one in three respondents (approximately 30%) is in disagreement with the assertion that the benefits of vaccines are safe and are afraid of the possibility of adverse effects severe. Only 31.4% on average, says has received a vaccination against influenza in the season that just completed: half of the doctors interviewed, and less than one in four between nurses and other professionals. 44% think that their risk of contracting a vaccine-preventable disease with the vaccine is low. Results very comforting if you consider that they were obtained among the insiders. The message from the experts is clear: the eradication of measles, as with any other diseases preventable by vaccination - it is essential to act on multiple fronts, with both parents who don't want vaccines for their children, both with health professionals.",29,"italy"
"7816","The world health organization (WHO), have determined that the measles, mumps, and rodehondvirus in Spain is not an endemic species occur. There are, however, between the 1st January and the 21st of July, 233 new cases of measles have been reported. All of these are imported. The infection of measles from foreign countries, or of the vectors that it was created in Spain, you could still easily be reversed. According to the ministry of Health of Spain, of the WHO, received a certificate, stating that the two issues have been eradicated in the country. For rubella, this is the case, since it's 2015, and for measles has been since 2016, it will be eliminated. The declaration of the elimination of disease can only be assigned if the country complies with a regulatory environment is of high quality and when there is a period of the last three years, the evidence is that there is no endemic transmission of the disease. The minister of Health, María Luisa Carcedo, was very pleased with the results, and that is as a result of high vaccination rates. In Spain, the use of a vaccinatiekalender that by the age of all recommended and required vaccinations are listed. The calendar will be on the population as a whole is given. Infectious childhood illnesses Measles, mumps, and rubella are highly infectious childhood illnesses, particularly in young adults, severe complications may lead even to the death of the patient, and can lead to. Rubella is dangerous for pregnant women because the virus can lead to birth defects in the fetus. The last rodehonduitbraak it was in the middle of december, 2018 at a slaughterhouse in Zaragoza in the Spanish region of Aragon), with a slachtofferaantal of 15 people. The time was passed in march of this year. The last mazelenuitbraak took place in the province of Huesca, in July of 2018. Since then, only isolated cases have been reported through the public health care services. It is because of the people who came from other countries.",29,"netherlands"
"7820","In the first instance, we have had our children vaccinated against mumps, measles and rubella, based on the philosophy that as a human being you do not need to take action on some of the nature in itself is already a good choice. Later on, we will have our children vaccinated against the measles because I don't want other people to be a victim of my choices. But now, more and more apocalyptic imagery about the center of the round. Where is the picture that your child is in immediate life-threatening danger is exposed when you put him or her into a nursery that sends out where ongevaccineerde children will be admitted. I had a feeling that this is not true. So, I wanted this, I would like to agree key data, which is simply to be available to everyone: to the CBS (statistics netherlands) statistics. First of all, to die worldwide, mostly in the developing world, where thousands, if not millions, of children at the center. But what about in the uk? President, Gjalt Jellesma of the ouderorganisatie Bing puts it, onweersproken by medical scientists, that is, the mazelenvaccin many of the thousands of deaths it has prevented. As we move into the CBS's annual look at the amount of deaths due to measles before 1976 (when the measles vaccine in the rijksvaccinatieprogramma was shot) we see that every year about 20 deaths, with a downward tendency in the direction of 1976. A maximum of 1000 If we were to go up to 2019, and 43 years later, the vaccine is up to a 1,000 deaths occur. Still have a lot of it, but not many of the thousands and thousands, as Jellesma argues. It is also stated that a vaccination rate of at least 95 per cent is required to the mortality rate for children less than fourteen months, to avoid the children being only fourteen months of vaccination). But what about the mortality rate of children under fourteen months prior to 1976, when the vaccination rate was zero? Those who look at statistics you see that the death rate among these children is almost non-occurring. It's going to be either zero or one, for up to two deaths per year. Doctors and politicians are calling for information on the basis of the actual facts. For those who'd like to base it on the facts, it also is not going to be the many of thousands of deaths due to measles in the Netherlands, the vaccine is to be avoided, but it is usually between 5 and 20 per year. The aim of a 95 percent vaccination rate, it prevents which is a 0% vaccination rate, even though has not occurred (mortality rate of measles in children under two months old). Not negligible is Also the refusal of children to daycare centers because of the risk of infection of children under two months, something that actually doesn't exist, the warning is given, the statistics are from before the vaccination to be negligible. Children who recover from the measles, to do that, without any exception, without any consequences, their lives are protected from the measles vaccine, where the vaccine can't touch. Also, is it weird that looking at this mazelenvaccin the mumps, and rodehondvaccin to get it. When these diseases are going to be extremely small the risk. The bsf has, as a phenomenon, especially in men who have mumps at a later age is a very small risk cannot be. At red dog, children hardly get sick – which is similar to the chicken pox. It used to be the default action if there is a red dog, was to make sure that everyone was, especially the girls. Just for the kids to play with. Thus, the very nature, virtually always be prevented, a pregnant woman and red dog is there (which might lead to a distortion of the fruit, through which she from her childhood had been protected. In short, all of the excitement surrounding the measles, mumps, and hardly to be reconciled with the statistical facts. Update, may 17th, 2019: President, Gjalt Jellesma of the ouderorganisatie Bing has responded to this op-ed piece, below is his response to Hans Voerknecht, is claiming that I have said that since the introduction of the vaccine for measles, mumps, and thousands of deaths have been avoided (Opinion, may 11). On behalf of Bing (Association of the Parents of the Child have on the contrary, I have argued that the production of the whole of the rijksvaccinatieprogramma to look at. That is, since the introduction of six - and twelve-thousand deaths occur. I rely here on the thesis of Maarten van Wijhe (""The public health impact of vaccination programmes in The Netherlands’, in 2018). Voerknecht is going to be completely ignoring the fact that the children also become seriously ill from measles, mumps, and even permanent damage may result. I called for the enhancement of the uptake rates in the light of the rapid increase in the number of mazelengevallen in the countries around us, it is not paniekvoetbal, but as part of a balanced policy. Gjalt Jellesma, chairman Bing, Utrecht see also: Germany is going to the mazelenprik for all of the children are required to be set up, German children have to be soon required to be vaccinated against measles. Those who refuse, there is the risk of a heavy fine. Do not get vaccinated?

"38010","The APIFARMA, the Portuguese Association of the Pharmaceutical Industry, reiterated today in a statement that “vaccination is the safest and most effective way of preventing measles,” and the fact that it is a priority for three main reasons: – The immunization saves lives immunization saves more than 3 million lives a year around the world, and it avoids so many of the other sufferers of the disease, and the failure of the long-life estimates from the WHO, 2009). When a new vaccine is introduced, the rate of immunization coverage increased gradually, and the number of people with the disease decreases dramatically. The immunization is a basic right and a strategic component for poverty reduction programmes according To the available data, in 2010, the infant mortality rate is estimated per one thousand live births, is 17,68 in the republics of Central Asia, as compared to 3,79 in the European Union (European Health for All Database). The vaccination is the only effective way to reduce illness and death, but it can be used as a strategy to help reduce inequalities in the provision of health care services. – Diseases preventable by vaccination, pose a risk to The viruses and bacteria do not respect national frontiers, which on the outbreak of measles in Europe, which have spread from one country to the other. In the past few years, the european countries are struggling to cope with sporadic outbreaks, especially measles. These outbreaks occur because of the build-up of susceptible persons do not receive the vaccine, which allows for a wide and rapid spread of the virus. Prevention must be maintained and reinforced because of the global spread of the disease, and the re-emergence of diseases that are tracked in the region is an ongoing concern. How should you go about it? Before a case of Measles in the Uk – which are already higher than the double of those recorded in the fall of 2017, the Committee for Vaccines for the APIFARMA calls for the vaccination of the population, and the main measure of prevention. The population should be checking the immunization card, and, if necessary, proceed with the shot. The vaccine is free of charge and is available to all of the people here in the Uk. In case you have any questions, please contact the Contact Centre the NHS (808 24 24 24) or by the treating physician/ health care facility. Measles is an infectious disease, more contagious and can cause severe illness, especially in people who are not vaccinated. The virus that causes the disease is transmitted by direct contact with the spray droplets to an infectious or spread in the air when the infected person coughs or sneezes. The special Committee of Vaccines of the APIFARMA focuses on the importance of immunization, and the benefits of vaccines, and in particular, their contribution to the Health of the Public. Vaccines are one of the most important advances in the history of medicine, and, on the whole, vaccination is one of the interventions, more cost-effective, and should be a cornerstone in the protection of human health and the economic growth of modern societies. The World Health Organization (WHO) considers vaccination to be “one of the greatest success stories of modern medicine”. They have avoided that at least 10 million people between 2010 and 2015, which translates into significant gains in terms of the health of the public, as in the case of the eradication of poliomyelitis in many parts of the world, and that of small-pox in the whole world. In addition to saving lives, the project of vaccination is sustained by, and on a large scale, as in the case of the National Program of Vaccination (PNV) in the Uk, they are one of the investments, less expensive, and it's one of the interventions is the most cost-effective in the area of Public Health, enable you to relieve the pressure on the system and on the Health budget, which, in turn, allows for the allocation of resources to other areas, and to invest in medical innovation.",29,"portugal"

Getty 40/40 Playing Tetris in hospital after a traumatic incident could prevent PTSD Scientists conducted the research on 71 car crash victims as they were waiting for treatment at one hospital’s accident and emergency department. They asked half of the patients to briefly recall the incident and then play the classic computer game, the others were given a written activity to complete. The researchers, from Karolinska Institute in Sweden and the University of Oxford, found that the patients who had played Tetris reported fewer intrusive memories, commonly known as flashbacks, in the week that followed Rex  “It can now be assumed that measles is circulating widely in our community,” the Canterbury District Health Board said in a statement.  The latest outbreak came from people who were thought not fully immunised.  People are considered immune if they have received two doses of the MMR vaccine, have had a measles illness previously, or were born before 1969.  “Unimmunised people who come within two metres (6.56ft) of an infectious person, however briefly, have a 90 per cent chance of contracting measles,” the board said.  New Zealand’s ministry of health said in a statement in late February that since 2012 all cases of measles in New Zealand came from travellers bringing the disease from overseas.  Even though the vaccine is highly effective, around 110,000 people died from measles globally in 2017, according to the World Health Organisation (WHO).  Most of them were children under the age of five.

Dr Gunter Pfaff, chair of the RVC, added: “Re-establishment of measles transmission is concerning.  “If high immunisation coverage is not achieved and sustained in every community, both children and adults will suffer unnecessarily and some will tragically die.”  Professor Martin Marshall, vice-chairman of the Royal College of GPs, said the findings were “disheartening”.  He added: “While take-up of the MMR vaccination across the UK is still high, it is not high enough, and we have actually seen a small decline in recent years.  “It is clear that we are still suffering from entirely debunked claims around MMR that were perpetuated in the nineties – and are now resurgent on social media and other online platforms.”  It comes as WHO welcomed a decision by social media company Pinterest to only provide evidence-based information from leading health experts to its users in a bid to tackle health misinformation.

Holidaymakers planning to travel to Romania, Italy and Germany or who have recently visited those countries and not had two doses of the MMR vaccine are the most at risk, according to Public Health England (PHE).  The warning comes after outbreaks of measles in Europe in areas where vaccinations are less common.  In three areas of England measles were recorded by PHE including 16 confirmed cases in Leeds, 11 confirmed cases in Liverpool and nine confirmed cases in Birmingham.  Officials said all cases are among children and adults who have not received two doses of the MMR vaccine.  The MMR vaccine is a combined inoculation which protects against measles, mumps and rubella - the full course of MMR vaccination requires two doses.  Measles is highly infectious and can lead to serious complications.  Dr Mary Ramsay, head of immunisation at PHE, said: ""The measles outbreaks we are currently seeing in England are linked to ongoing large outbreaks in Europe.  ""People who have recently travelled, or are planning to travel to Romania, Italy and Germany and have not had two doses of the MMR vaccine are particularly at risk.  ""This serves as an important reminder for parents to take up the offer of MMR vaccination for their children at one year of age and as a pre-school booster at three years and four months of age.  ""Children and young adults who missed out on their MMR vaccine in the past or are unsure if they had two doses should contact their GP practice to catch up.  ""We'd also encourage people to ensure they are up to date with their MMR vaccine before travelling to countries with ongoing measles outbreaks.""  The UK recently achieved World Health Organisation ""measles elimination status"".  But because of ongoing outbreaks in Europe, the UK will continue to see cases in people who have not been vaccinated and limited onward spread can occur in communities with low MMR coverage and in age groups with very close mixing, PHE said.",29,"uk"
"6484","In relation to the news published today relating to the cases of measles in the province of Imperia ASL 1 states as follows. The cases of measles that have occurred since the month of December, were 15. Only in 2-3 cases, the infection occurred within the plexus of the hospital. The remaining outbreaks can be occurred in the domestic environment, rather than in other contexts external to health facilities. In all cases stay within the hospital, patients who have been diagnosed with the measles virus have been put in place the protocols established to prevent the spread of the disease. Similarly, are also implemented each of the procedures envisaged in relation to the family and of the people that came in contact with the cases confirmed. It concludes by reiterating that the spread of cases of measles is not due to any type of epidemic, and that, as it is today, the last case of adult hospitalised at the ASL1 will be discharged within the next 48, low and so this cluster of cases of measles, some of whom have needed hospital treatment.

"3225","The american authorities have recorded between 1 January and 17 may 2019, 880 cases of measles in 24 States. It is the most important resurgence of this disease since 1994 Atlantic, even though its elimination was officially declared in 2000. It is in this context that the bulletin épidémiologique hebdomadaire of the control Centers and disease prevention (CDC, Atlanta, Georgia) published on 17 may 2019 two reports describing the emergence of measles outbreaks that have recently plagued the States of New York, New Jersey (east coast) and Washington dc (north-west). The current epidemic also concerns the way in Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Missouri, Nevada, New Hampshire, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas and Tennessee. Orthodox jewish community In New York State, starts on October 1, 2018, in the county of Rockland when the public health department is informed of a case of measles in a child who is not vaccinated from abroad. During the 17 days, 6 other cases are reported in travellers who are not vaccinated. All returned to Israel, the country in which experiencing a measles outbreak that has affected about 3 to 150 people. Six months later, on April 30, 2019, there were 242 cases of measles in the State, including some in the city of New York. Most of the patients belong to the orthodox jewish community, where the measles vaccination coverage is low. The average age of patients is 5 years. The patient the youngest is a newborn tested positive for the measles virus and whose mother had contracted the disease during pregnancy. The oldest patient was 63 years old. In order to limit the spread of the disease in the school environment, the authorities decide in the areas of the county affected by measles exclude from the schools students who are not vaccinated, i.e. those who have not received two doses of the MMR vaccine (rubella, mumps, measles). It is pointed out that the protection conferred by two doses of the vaccine lasts for life in most individuals. Are also denied access to the school, the students who do not possess a sufficient rate of blood antibodies against the virus of measles (immunity to hiv). Finally, to improve vaccination coverage, health authorities will organize twenty events in the county of Rockland, where people of all ages can come and be vaccinated. Two events of the same type are held in the neighboring county of Orange. Almost 20 000 doses of vaccine administered In total, some 19 661 doses of vaccine are administered in the county of Rockland, between October 1, 2018 and April 20, 2019. During this period, privately-run medical centres organize information sessions and distribute informational and educational materials about measles to 45 000 households. In addition, a book on vaccination for different communities is distributed to more than 15 000 inhabitants and health professionals in the county of Rockland and to 10,000 in Orange. At the same time, the rabbinical authorities local lend their support to efforts in the field of vaccination and support for the groups of the jewish community who are working in this direction. State of New York : the biggest epidemic since 1992 The measles epidemic that is still rampant in the State of New York is the largest in that State since 1992. It is also the epidemic the longest (7 months) that the United States has experienced since 2000. On may 22, 2019, there were 244 confirmed cases in the county of Rockland. Among the patients, 78.7 per cent had not received any dose of vaccine. A single dose was administered at 4.5% of them. Children under the age of one year accounted for 12.7% of the patients. In addition, 25.8% of the patients were aged 1 to 3 years. Finally, in the city of New York, 523 confirmed cases of measles have been reported in Brooklyn and in Queens since September 2018. The majority of cases involve members of the orthodox jewish community, as well as in the neighboring State of New Jersey in which 33 cases of measles were confirmed between 1 October and 30 November 2018. In this State, the average age of patients with measles is 10 years old. The youngest patient was 6 months old, the oldest 59 years. The epidemic came to an end in mid-January 2019. A second outbreak, however, occurred in march 2019, no link identified with the first. Passenger from Ukraine In the State of Washington (north-west), the outbreak began on 31 December 2018 with a case of measles which occurred in a child of 10 years of return to Ukraine. The health authorities then throws an epidemiological investigation of this case and attempts to identify all the people who have been in contact with this young sick people ("" contacts ""). A fortnight later, on January 16, 2019, the genetic material of the virus of measles is identified on the samples from 12 other patients. Other cases are reported by the following. 200 investigators, A crisis cell is then activated by the health authorities. Some 200 people are mobilized, among which the personnel of the department of public health county of Clark, State of Washington and CDC Atlanta. On April 29, 2019, 71 confirmed cases of measles had been registered in this county. The patients were aged 1 to 39 years. Among them, 73 % were children under the age of 10 years. Among patients, 86 % were not vaccinated and 4 % had received only one dose of vaccine. The vaccination status was unknown for the remaining 10%. Investigation in all directions to search for "" contacts "", likely to be contaminated by the measles virus, is launched. You ask the patient, analyzes the electronic medical records, the reasons for consultations of medical practices. Biological samples are collected. In order to raise the awareness of the population at risk of epidemic malaria was reported by way of press the risk of transmission during large gatherings. It is also recommended for persons potentially exposed and not protected to get vaccinated. The virus is identified in the biological samples corresponds to the viral strain that is currently circulating in eastern Europe (genotype D8). 3 800 ""contacts"" identified In total, health authorities are expected to identify 3 800 people have been in contact with the 71 patients identified. This identification of the "" contacts "", requiring traceability of the course of all the patients, and will allow us to count 46 possible exposures to the virus, in this case care centres, places of work, churches, schools and childcare facilities, as well as in public meetings and at the family home. Clark county had not known of a case of outbreak of measles since 2011, the year in which three cases had been notified. Since 2013, the coverage in this territory is 10% to 14% lower than it is at national level. The current measles epidemic that is rampant in the United States underscores the importance of achieving and maintaining an immunization coverage rates to be adequate. In fact, the measles elimination cannot be achieved in a population when at least 95 % of children and adults have received two doses of the vaccine. Remember that measles is a highly contagious disease, an infected person can typically infect between 12 and 18 people. This condition, due to a virus transmitted by the airborne route, is theoretically éradicable by vaccination, humans are the only reservoir of the virus. Complicated shapes are more frequent in children under 1 year of age and in adults over the age of 20. The first cause of death is pneumonia in children, and impairment of the brain (acute encephalitis) in adults. International travel and immunization coverage, inadequate the two reports of The epidemiological bulletin of the CDC emphasize that two main factors have contributed to the resurgence of measles : the reintroduction of the virus through travellers coming from countries experiencing outbreaks and low vaccination coverage rates. Recall that there were 880 cases of measles in the United States between 1 January and 17 may 2019. There were 372 cases in 2018, 120 in 2017, 86 in 2016, 188 in 2015 and 667 in 2014. This year, 383 of 667 cases reported were associated with an outbreak that occurred in Ohio within the population Amish under-vaccinated. The viral strain was of genotype D9, corresponding to that in circulation in the Philippines at that time. In 2014, the world health Organization had reported 21 403 cases of measles in the Philippines and 10 deaths associated with them. In march 2014, an outbreak had also been reported in the United States after two men Amish were returned to their communities after a stay in the Philippines, where they had contracted the disease during a humanitarian aid mission after the passage of a typhoon. When importing A previous point epidemiological published may 3, 2019 by the CDC indicated that 704 measles cases were reported between 1 January and 26 April 2019, of which 88 % were occurred in closed communities. There were then 44 cases of measles imported from other countries. Among them, 34 of which were in u.s. residents who traveled abroad, and most of them were not vaccinated. These people came back from the Philippines (14 cases), Ukraine, Israel, Thailand, Vietnam, Germany, Algeria, France, India, Lithuania, Russia, the United Kingdom. Predict the next outbreak-An international team has reported, on may 9, 2019 in the Lancet Infectious Disases, have developed a model of prediction of the counties in the u.s. the most at risk of an outbreak of measles in 2019, taking into account four factors : the volume of international air traffic to the territory in question, the local rate of non-vaccine coverage, the population of the county, the incidence rate (number of new cases) of measles in the country of origin of the travellers. In addition to some counties in the States of Washington, Oregon and New York, actually affected by the current outbreak of measles, the model reveals that those most at risk of experiencing an outbreak are located in Texas, Arizona, Georgia, Honolulu, Hawaii, Michigan, Utah, Minnesota, Massachusetts, Virginia, California and Florida. According to the authors, the two counties are particularly monitor, that of Cook, Illinois, and Los Angeles (a case of measles has been reported in each county) due to the presence of major international airports. Finally, the model indicates that the risk of importation of measles is higher from the following countries : India, China, Mexico, Japan, Ukraine, Philippines, Thailand.

However, the existence of the measles Virus by now over 19,000 studies doubt is proved. Even if opponents want to prefer to rely on the ""New Germanic medicine"", and Globules.[/vc_message] In the Detail! There is no measles virus! It's All A Lie! It wants us to have at least a Blog to be credible, relying on a judgment of the Federal court. Then we adjust the Fake-microscope... To what, exactly, this judgment turned? Our story begins on may 24. November 2011. On this day, Dr. Stefan Lanka, his character opponents and supporters of the ""New Germanic medicine"", an award from the praised money of € 100,000, which the Person deserves him to be credible evidence of the existence of the measles Virus by means of a study. More specifically, he engages in his tender the research of Dr. Annette Mankertz, the, lt. Lanka, nowhere proves the diameter of the measles Virus, although it conducts this research. And what has no clear diameter, can't seems to exist, so the logic of Lanka. The German physician David Bardens, took up this challenge and sent him to several studies, what are all the possible aspects of the Masen-Virus, also the diameter of which is covered. Lanka was, however, not very impress, because, as Martin Moder wrote in science blogs: ""Who needs 19.000 studies, if one has an opinion"". Before the court was decided, that the Bardens have provided, without any doubt, the existence of the measles Virus, the prize money to him. Lanka, however, was of course not at all happy and went in appeal. His justification: His requirements for the detection of the measles Virus would not be taken into account by the Bardens studies submitted completely. The Showdown On The 16. February 2016, it was then, finally, to the extent that: Before the higher regional court (OLG) Stuttgart, there was, in this respect, the hearing of the appeal after the district court of Ravensburg, in the first hearing on 12. March 2015 Lanka to verdonnerte to pay the € 100,000 in prize money. And here it came now to that judgment, which was nearly confirmed a year later by the Federal court of justice (BGH): Dr. Stefan Lanka must pay 100,000 euros to David Bardens. Have the opponents right? So it sounds, at least in the Newsletter of Lanka Homepage ""Knowledge creates Plus"" of 17. January, 2017: ""In the process have brought five experts and the results of scientific research presented. All five reviewers, including the only court representative, Prof. Dr. Dr. Andreas Podbielski have consistently found that none of the six are in the process of tabled publications contains a scientific evidence for the existence of the alleged measles Virus.“ But we like to have both sides of a coin and take a look at the court judgment: in fact, the action was dismissed Bardens on the payment of 100,000 € from the higher regional court of Stuttgart. The justification was confirmed in January 2017, also by the BGH. And what the justification was? And now we come to the point that both ""Mara's world"" as well as all other pages, the link to the Blog or quote, probably completely have missed The actual justification! Let's take a glance in the judgment: paragraph 12, and 13 are important: It must be a (!) scientific publication is available in both the existence as well as the diameter of the measles-proved Virus and are determined. But it is even more accurate: We summarize the changes briefly: Lanka demanded a publication of the Robert Koch Institute. And although a single publication, not several. And in this single publication, both the proof as well as the diameter of the measles, it must be Virus. Furthermore, this diameter should not be proved on the basis of a drawing, but must be identified on the basis of a photo. Why the evidence proves the diameter of a Virus in a publication, however, the existence of which is itself a mystery. But it goes even further, with regard to the requirements of: David Bardens was the recipient of the newsletter, so he would have been allowed in this tender part. Even if he would have, therefore, provided the above required evidence, so he didn't get the prize money. What the court thinks for itself about the judgment and Lanka? Also, we found a nice paragraph in the judgment: the court found that the advertising was nothing more than a part of a campaign, where Lanka has no discernible interest in his assertion that the measles virus there, ever refuted. Conclusion no, the Supreme court has confirmed with the confirmation of the judgment at any time, the non-existence of measles virus. The payment of the prize money was only rejected because of a technicality: Bardens could not meet the exact requirements, the Lanka, in its exaltation of the virgin requested. However, the existence of the measles Virus by now over 19,000 studies doubt is proved. Even if opponents want to prefer to rely on the ""New Germanic medicine"", and Globules.

Measles has appeared in France, Italy, Romania, Great Britain, and this week there is also information Lisbon. Asia has a lot of measles. The latest data from Thailand are that there are about 250 cases weekly. They focus on Bangkok, but also in Chiang mai and other tourist destinations, Nohynek told yle's morning tv. Last week, the islets found in the measles case came to Finland in the near east. Nohynek said that although european countries, vaccination programs are good, people do not necessarily take the vaccine. Reasons for vaccine the exception of the submission are many. Such are for example rumors and fake news. – In the Uk we were concerned that the measles vaccine causes autism. It proves to be fake news, but the kind of illusion live for a long time. Also other rumors have Nohynekin according to the wheel by the vaccines around. In addition, it is thought that the child needs of disease in their own growth and development. Hanna Nohynek Yle Already half a year old can be given the vaccine to Travel without the measles vaccine is Nohynekin according to the risk, because measles is easily transmitted. In finland, measles vaccine is given first 12 months of age, but if it is leaving a small baby with a journey, so the vaccine can get already six months old. In that case, however, it is worth having the vaccine after 12 months of age. Less than half a year to protect the Nohynekin according to the mother's antibodies, and not so small children recommended for measles vaccine. If not remember their own vaccination history and find the vaccination card, so you can go back and take a new vaccine. It is not Nohynekin according to harm. – If you have contracted the natural disease, so you get lifelong protection. If you take that vaccine, so antibodies will attack the vaccine to him and not really anything happened. If there is incomplete protection, so this single dose will provide adequate protection. If there isn't any information about vaccines against measles with regard, then given one dose of vaccine now and another 2-3 years. Measles cases will continue last week's islet of measles cases occurred in very low vaccination coverage in the region. Luoto it is only 75%. Nohynek believes that the low per cent also lead to new cases. – By the weekend I'll see if there is an infection chain, you could stop it. But because we have low vaccination coverage for elsewhere in Finland, so be prepared for the fact that such will continue, Nohynek said. Although vaccine failure is the chief according to the always risk, Nohynek does not, however, believe the vaccine to the. – Finnish wants to usually decide for themselves.

Since, the health professionals remind us of the importance of vaccination to prevent this disease ""highly contagious"". A disease is ""not benign"". On Europe 1 on Wednesday morning, dr. Gérald Kierzek points out that""prior to the vaccination in the years 60, the measles had made 2.6 million dead on the planet"". ""This is not a benign disease"", says he. Measles is caused by the paramyxovirus, which is transmitted by the respiratory tract. The symptoms of the disease are fever, ""an episode of ENT, with red eyes"", ""of whitish spots on the inside of the cheeks"", ""then quickly, a skin rash,"" details the emergency doctor.

"2762","Measles continues to make victims in France. A young girl of 17 years died, ""suites of neurological complications related to this disease at the CHU of Bordeaux, announced Friday the regional Agency of health (ARS), New Aquitaine. This is the third death due to measles since the outbreak of the measles in November 2017 and the second in this region. The New-Aquitaine concentrated over four out of ten cases of measles confirmed in France since the end of 2017. Overrepresentation can be explained mainly by the lower rate of vaccination in the departments of the south-west. Measles occurs primarily in the south-west. Before the third death, the measles had already killed, in February, at Poitiers, a mother of 32 years who had never been vaccinated and who, according to the daily, the New Republic, had contracted measles in leading his father to the hospital. In total, since November 6, 2017, 1.096 cases of measles have been confirmed in the region (2.567 in France in total). One out of four cases required hospitalization, twelve patients were transferred in intensive care and two died. To explain these alarming figures, the ARS highlights the low rate of vaccination. ""Nearly 90% of the cases were not or inadequately vaccinated (two doses are necessary to ensure immunity)"", she says. The inadequacy of vaccination coverage in France has promoted this highly contagious disease (a person can infect up to 20 people). According to public Health France, the vaccination rate against measles varies from 62% to 88% depending on the departments. And the New-Aquitaine traditionally for the poor student in this area. Low vaccination rates. Map of France, published by public Health in 2017 (with data from 2015), clearly shows that the south-west of France is one of the regions least vaccinated. Seven of the twelve departments of New-Aquitaine had a rate of vaccination (two doses) located between 65% and 75%, where a large majority of the French departments have a rate between 75 and 85%. The strong upsurge in the number of cases beginning in 2018 has forced the health authorities to increase vaccination campaigns, particularly in the south-west, and to stop the spread of measles. A general alarm that has paid off since ""the New-Aquitaine is no longer in phase of the epidemic"", now tells ARS. The number of cases detected in France, has almost been divided by ten between march and June. The objective of health authorities is to achieve, as recommended by the world health Organization, 95% vaccination coverage among those at risk. The measles vaccine is part of the eleven vaccines required for children born after 1 January 2018.",28,"france"

The importance of the vaccination Some people can't be vaccinated, like the young girl who died in Bordeaux. This is particularly the case for those whose immune system is weakened, such as infants before one year and pregnant women. For those who can, vaccination remains the only means of protection.

As a reminder, three deaths were attributable to measles in 2018 in France, and twenty since 2008. In particular, because of the lack of immunization according to the health authorities and the minister Agnes Buzyn. 350 people have been infected with measles since the beginning of the year 2019, is less than the same period in 2018 (966), according to public Health France. 100 of them have been hospitalized (of which 5 on intensive care) and in 27 cases of measles has led to a lung disease.

In Europe, 83 000 cases were reported, of which 53 000 in Ukraine. In France, there are 2,800 cases that have been identified in 2018, a steady increase, with a final alert in the resort of Val Thorens where the 24 seasonal workers come from developing the disease.

Unicef is alarmed by Friday, march 1st, the return of the measles in 98 countries who reported a greater number of cases in 2018 than in 2017 and this, in spite of the fact that there is a vaccine. The resurgence of cases of measles in the world hinders the progress to control the disease, note the authors of this report.

"2773","Measles : The virus resets the immune system Tweeter 1 notice : Wednesday, 04/12/2019 - 12:22 A research team involving researchers in the us and Dutch has shown that the measles virus had the ability to destroy almost completely the immune system. The sick find themselves almost as vulnerable to the pathogen as a new-born. Public health professionals had previously observed that the vaccination campaigns against measles were lower infant mortality total. But the researchers were not sure of the biological mechanisms. A team of Harvard researchers, of the medical Institute Howard Hughes and the Erasmus University in the netherlands, has analyzed the blood of 77 Dutch infants infected with measles during the epidemic that struck the country in 2013. The researchers used a tool developed in the United States and it is called VirScan, which identifies all of the virus that has infected previously a person, and that the immune system remembers : HIV, flu, herpes, and hundreds of other viruses. When the body encounters a virus, it creates antibodies that remain and protect from infections in the future : it is the ""memory"" immune. The analyses showed that the measles eliminated between 11 and 73 % of protective antibodies in children. To return to a high level of antibodies and rebuild their defenses, ""they need to be reinfected by pathogens, such as new-born babies, which take a lot of risks in the first years of their life,"" says epidemiologist Michael Mina, of Harvard, co-author of the study. Unlike HIV, the immune defenses are weakened much more quickly, and they are also rebuilding more quickly, says the researcher. The study shows that the danger of measles exceeds the only risk related to infection. ""The virus is far more deleterious than we thought, which makes the vaccine more valuable,"" says Stephen Elledge, a geneticist who has developed with colleagues a tool VirScan.

With respectively 953, 2 193, 1 466, and 217 cases were reported in 2018, these four countries are now officially considered to be rid of the measles, exploding in Europe. According to the world health Organization (WHO) region, which comprises 53 States in its definition, is losing ground in the elimination of this highly contagious disease. This is why the Organization calls this Thursday, August 29 to boost the vaccination ""in every community and home"". During the first six months of the year 2019, 89 994 cases of measles have been identified on the european continent, resulting in 37 deaths. In 2018, where 84 462 cases have been counted on all year, the disease has caused 74 people dead. The WHO defines measles elimination as the absence of transmission of the disease continues for 12 months. Today, only 35 of the 53 member States of the Europe region have been successful in achieving this goal, compared to 37 in 2017, is concerned about it. This first semester, four outbreaks of contagion prevailed in Europe and concentrated 78% of the reported cases in the region : Ukraine, Kazakhstan (10 %), Georgia (4 %) and Russia (3 %). ""The big efforts to control this highly contagious disease, we have made great strides toward its elimination regional. This is the time and opportunity to address the challenges in the health system, social determinants and societal that have allowed this virus to persist in this region,"" said Zsuzsanna Jakab, regional director for the WHO Europe region. ""It is not enough to achieve high immunization coverage"", However, even in more developed countries, cases have been identified. In France, as of August 21, there were no less than 2 381 cases since the beginning of the year. But the measles since January 1, 2018 in the list of mandatory vaccinations for children, the epidemic peak has passed in us, and the number of cases decreases, depending on public Health in France. At present, the disease is currently endemic in 11 other countries, including Germany, which will require the vaccination to all, starting from march 2020. In the United Kingdom (489 cases reported since 1 January 2019), Greece (28), Albania (475) and the Czech Republic (569), they are evidence that high vaccination coverage is not everything. ""Each of these countries is an example of a national immunisation coverage is extremely high. It is not, therefore, examples of countries whose systems (health) are particularly weak,"" says Kate O'brien, the director of the department of Immunization, WHO. ""I think it is an alarm signal for the whole world : it is not enough to achieve high coverage, it must be done in every community and in every home"", insists it. ""The resumption of the transmission of measles is a concern. If one does not attain high vaccination coverage and sustainability in each community, both children and adults will suffer needlessly and some will have a tragic death,"" says Günter Pfaff, chair of the regional Commission of verification of elimination of measles and rubella. An epidemic that is largely under-estimated Extremely contagious, measles is a viral infection of the rash acute, which mainly affects children from the age of five-six months and young adults. It infects the respiratory tract and then spreads throughout the body. The period of spread of the virus starts 2 to 6 days before the onset of the rash. The disease is usually spread by direct contact or through the air. The risk decreases, however, from the second day after the onset of the rash. In young children, it sometimes happens that complications arise, such as encephalitis, which can have sequelae or very serious, or even result in death. According to the WHO, the quantity of measles cases in the world has been multiplied by three between the period from 1 January to 31 July 2018 (129 239) and the first seven months of this year (364 808). But unfortunately, less than one in ten cases would be reported. Also, the epidemic would be far more severe than shown by the official statistics, already very worrying. This topic interests you ?

Very young children who have not been vaccinated would initially be excluded from the creche or kindergarten. Since school is compulsory in Germany from the age of 6, parents of children who are not vaccinated will be required to pay the fine. ""The minister wants to make the measles vaccine mandatory for children enrolled in nursery and school children, requiring parents who refuse to vaccinate their child, a fine of up to 2500 euros and an exclusion of the nativity scene, one can read in a press release. 95 % of the population should be vaccinated against measles for eradication of this highly contagious viral disease. It is our goal. The purpose of the legislation is not to lead the parents to pay fines. But to ensure that children are immunized "". Let us recall that in France, the French public health code (article L3116-4) provides for a sentence of six months imprisonment and up to 3 750 euros fine for parents who refuse to vaccinate their child (mandatory vaccine). No link with autism even today, many parents choose not to vaccinate their children because of a link (non-existent) between the MMR vaccine (measles, mumps and rubella) and autism. A few days ago, a study contradicted – one more time – this relationship. The records of 657 000 children born in Denmark between 1999 and 2010 have in fact revealed that no link can be established between the two conditions. Interestingly, the vaccine would have even been associated with a risk slightly lower than autism. Source related Articles :",28,"france"

"5204","A measles outbreak in Co Donegal has escalated with several new cases now suspected.  The HSE last week revealed two confirmed cases of the highly infectious disease.  But now the HSE has confirmed that there are three more probable cases and several more possible cases being investigated.  A statement issued by the HSE said: “Measles is very infectious and the illness can have serious complications, especially for infants under 12 months and those with weakened immune systems.  “That’s why it is so important for anyone who has symptoms of measles to try to avoid spreading the infection to others. We advise anyone who is worried that they may have measles to call their GP first and inform them.  “This is because you might be infectious to others at the GP surgery. Your GP will be able to make special arrangements for you to come in and see him or her and do tests to confirm your diagnosis.”  The initial outbreak is suspected to be linked with a third level college in Galway.  Measles is transmitted through direct contact with an infected person or through the air when the infected person coughs or sneezes.  The infection typically causes a rash, fever, conjunctivitis (red eyes), cough or runny nose. The rash usually starts four days after the other symptoms. The rash starts on the forehead, spreads behind the ears and then down the trunk.  Measles infection can have serious complications such as pneumonia, seizures and encephalitis (inflammation of the brain). 1-2 people out of every 1,000 who become infected with measles will die.  A spokesman for the HSE said the best way to prevent measles infection is with 2 doses of the MMR vaccine. It is 99% effective at preventing measles infection. The first dose of the MMR is usually given to children at 12 months of age, with a second dose given at 4-5 years of age.  The MMR vaccine has been used for many years and is very safe. Anyone born since 1978 who is unsure if they have received two doses of a measles containing vaccine, such as MMR, should speak with their GP. Most people born before 1978 have had measles infection and will not get measles again.  While the majority of children in Donegal still receive the MMR vaccine, the numbers have been dropping slightly over the past few years.  As soon as vaccination rates fall, old diseases re-emerge. This is why measles outbreaks are occurring in Ireland and across Europe.",28,"ireland"
"5212","MORE than 2,500 families in Limerick and the Mid-West had children who were not registered as having the MMR vaccine to prevent measles, the HSE said this Monday.  This comes as Limerick city faces one of its most challenging measles outbreak in years, with 25 children and adults being treated for the highly-contagious and potentially-lethal virus.  As a result, the HSE has contacted thousands of families to attend free MMR clinics to tackle the problem, which has worsened since the first outbreak on January 16.  The first cases of the outbreak were detected in Dooradoyle’s Shannondoc and the emergency department at University Hospital Limerick, between January 3 and January 9.  Free vaccine clinics are taking place at Barrack View Primary Care Centre this Thursday and on April 5 and April 12. But the problem has escalated so much, the HSE is now considering out-of-hours MMR clinics for the public.  The first clinic brought in between 50 and 100 people, it is understood.  Addressing councillors, senators, TDs and Minister of State Patrick O’Donovan at the HSE Mid-West offices on Catherine Street this Monday morning, the head primary care Kate Duggan said:  “We have written to anybody who hadn’t shown in our system that they had registered and had their MMR vaccine. Over 2,500 have been contacted as a preventative measure, just to increase the attendance at those clinics.”  As uptake in the vaccine continues to be lower than the national average, the chief officer for HSE Mid-West, Bernard Gloster is urgently calling on members of the public to get vaccinated.  He said that it “has been quite a while since we have been, perhaps, as challenged” in relation to containing the virus outbreak.  He told the media: “Traditionally, our public health specialists would tell us that the instance of outbreak of disease can be very variable. We used to see it a little bit in terms of different of illness might outbreak. We would often see it where there are large numbers of young adults congregated, like a third level institution at the start of the year. And a number of campaigns throughout the year were targeted towards that.  “This, unfortunately, is a situation where the spread, while not exactly confined to a specific area, it is certainly confined to a specific level of contact. Of course, as more people develop the measles, the more of those contacts become a concern.  “But what I say the real message is, we will do everything possible in the context of the measles outbreak to contain it, reduce it, and eventually end it. But what I would say is really, really important, out of this outbreak, is the message to people to engage positively with the vaccination programmes that are available to them before there’s a problem. And the vaccination programmes are there right across the child health portfolio. They have been the subject of criticism and concern and views. People are entitled to their views, but certainly, when I see some of the commentary that I see about vaccines and I now look at the 25-plus cases of the outbreak of measles, it really for me is two and two will always be four. And we have to continue to get our protection levels up.”  This Monday, the HSE Mid-West team launched their operational plan for 2018 for community healthcare services in Limerick, Clare and Tipperary.  The HSE has projected a €380m spend on services in the Mid-West, which was welcomed by a dozen local and regional politicians at the briefing.",28,"ireland"

After the midwife is sick of measles because it is not vaccinated, the Asur Marche and the Area Wide 2 have developed a series of initiatives to recall the people that I have been in contact with the woman, now departed from work, and check all health care workers, especially those that are not immune to the virus. At the same time have been recalled, some of the parents to inform them of the situation and started monitoring to spot immediately any symptoms of the disease in infants and in mothers or pregnant women who have gravitated in the department of obstetrics from the beginning of August to the 20th, the day which is settled to the disease. In the meantime, there are exits on each other to the statements of professor Giorgio Cantelli Forti, president of the Italian Society of Pharmacology (Sif): the refusal to be vaccinated calls “a serious and irresponsible behaviour of a range of healthcare professionals who, in opposition to the vaccinations, create the three critical situations: risk to their health, risk to be ‘transparency’ to their patients and colleagues, and also to be a negative example in support of the campaign, anti-vaccination in the act”. Several persons, says the president of Sif, they feel useless or harmful vaccination without to remember, however, that if many infectious diseases are also dangerous, have disappeared this is mainly due to vaccination campaigns. But the epidemics, in reality, are always at risk, especially if a drop in the vaccination coverage of the population, and, therefore, the so-called “immunity of the flock”: a term perhaps a little strong with that, however, means that cover generalized that allows you to feel comfortable to those who can not get vaccinated.",28,"italy"

This is the complaint launched with a loud voice by Unicef on the basis of the data released by the Ministry of Health emphasizes how the disease has returned to threaten the health and lives of children. In particular, Andrea Iacomini, spokesman for Unicef in Italy, to specify the strength of the virus that even today in the world kills annually about 132mila children: 15 per hour. “If the vaccination coverage will continue to decline continues, Iacomini – there is a real risk of return to see in our country, scenes that we were hoping to be cast out for ever, and the families who mourn the loss of a child for the fault of a disease that could be avoided with a simple vaccine free of charge. The measles, let us remember, is not a trivial cold.” “There is no specific medicine to combat it, and in the younger children, and with immune system more fragile and can have complications-lethal”, says still. “It would indeed be tragic if, after having fought without respite to drastically reduce the effects of measles anywhere in the world, we see that for prejudice and ignorance we have left to re-enter the measles "" in our homes. We are in favour of any measure that the ministry of Health will undertake to protect the children in Italy by this renewed threat,” concludes Iacomini. From 1 January 2017, it has been registered an increase in the number of cases, even if you believed the disease had been eradicated by the new vaccinations in the face of the 844 people affected in the course of 2016, from the beginning of the year have already been registered more than 700 cases, an increase compared to the same period of the previous year, in which there had been 220 cases, of more than 230%. It is precisely the Ministry of Health to denounce the gravity of the situation, assuming that the triple of the cases is due primarily to a substantial decline of vaccinations. Cases of measles (from the Latin morbus, infectious disease esentemica highly contagious disease caused by the virus Paramyxovirus) have been reported in Piedmont, Lazio, Lombardy and Tuscany, concerning the subjects with ages between 15 and 39 years. Measles continues to circulate in our Country, says a note circulated by the Ministry, due to the presence of pockets of susceptible populations are not vaccinated or who has not completed the vaccination cycle at 2 doses. This is largely due to the increasing number of parents who refuse the vaccination, despite the evidence established, and despite the measures of some regions that tend to improve the covers, interacting with the families and parents. “Despite the Plan for the elimination of measles started in 2005 – has explained the minister of Health, Beatrice Lorenzin – and the vaccination against measles is among those that are highly recommended and free of charge, in 2015, the vaccination coverage against measles in children at 24 months (cohort 2013) was 85,3% (with the lowest value equal to the 68% registered in the PA of Bolzano and the highest in Lombardy with the 92,3%), still far from the 95% that is the threshold value necessary to stop the circulation of the virus in the population.” “It is now indispensable, – said the minister – to intervene quickly with a commitment and a greater responsibility at all levels, from all of the institutions and of health professionals, to make this vaccination available, increasing the acceptance and demand from the population. Similarly, the regional administrations and health companies, as well as pediatricians and general practitioners should promote a campaign of further accountability on the part of parents and of people is not immune to all ages so do not give up this vital opportunity to prevent a disease that can be lethal.” “The ministry has finally added Lorenzin – activate all possible steps to ensure the full realization of the objectives of the recent national Plan for the prevention, vaccination, and in order to regain quickly the vaccination coverage that have drooped dangerously over the last few years”.",28,"italy"

"16311","Measles is a childhood disease, highly contagious disease. Reached during pregnancy, due to lack of immunity, it can be very serious for the unborn child. Here's what you need to do. What is the measles? Measles is a highly contagious disease of childhood caused by the measles virus from the family of the paramixovirusuri. This disease is characterized by symptoms such as fever, runny nose, cough, red eyes and skin rash. Infection with rubella, or German measles, should be all the more rare because it is assumed that the majority of people are vaccinated against the virus, with the help of the national program of immunization by MMR vaccine. Unfortunately, in the Usa, the situation is not good at all, because of the failure of vaccination to the children, being in a major outbreak of measles, which resulted already in more than 30 of the deaths among children in the year 2017. Who is most at risk for the measles? Most of the women who can't have children it is assumed that you have already had the disease, what it means is that you have no immunity against the measles virus or have been vaccinated against measles. Also, according to the theory, and even if you do not have immunity, the risk of contacting chicken pox in pregnancy is fairly low, since most of the people around you have been vaccinated, or had done to the disease, and I can bring it to the forefront of the virus. However, since measles is highly contagious, a person who has no immunity against the virus, he risks getting sick, especially when it comes in contact with an infected person. If you haven't been vaccinated and you haven't even made the sickness in my childhood, I can't get it in early pregnancy because the vaccine contains live viruses that can be dangerous in the case of a pregnant woman, argues Dr Ruxandra Dumitrescu, md the ob-gyn. What are the symptoms of measles? So, as I said, typically, measles starts with a fever, runny nose, the cough distressing, and the red eye. The first red spots appear on the skin after 3 to 5 days after the onset of the first symptoms, and is spread from the head to the lower part of the body. The rash and symptoms are going and then after one or two weeks. When should you worry about measles? Fortunately, the measles, you do not have the effect of giving birth to babies with birth defects if it is contracted during pregnancy. The bad news is that it can cause miscarriage or premature birth. What you can do about measles? In the event that you don't know if you had measles in your childhood, or if it were you or were you not vaccinated against the measles virus, you can do a blood test, preferably before you become pregnant to find out the answer for sure. It is recommended that the test of the TORCH, which causes the immunity to many diseases including toxoplasmosis, rubella, cytomegalovirus, herpes simplex, syphilis, chicken pox, shingles, etc., If you are not immune to rubella and come into contact with the measles virus during pregnancy, you should seek the advice of your gynecologist who has been following your pregnancy. It may recommend an injection of immune globulin to try to prevent the development of measles. Even if you are pregnant, don't worry if your baby is older is vaccinated against measles. In this way, you are going to protect you and your baby in my belly.

Arafat says that Olivia's Looks don't do it just to manipulate and deceive their parents in order that the decision relied on by the administration of justice in Germany does not refer to the measles, but a bet made by two of the germans on this issue.”We're back at the allegations as irresponsible, against the inoculation of children against measles.Mediafax news agency has published a point of view that doubts the existence of the measles virus! In this material there is a reference to a decision of the supreme court, the German in 2017, by which, it is claimed that it has been established that the virus did not exist.You'll have to ask you to inform directly from a reliable source, and don't let yourself misled, as the case is known, and the decision of the Supreme Court, the German is not referring to whether or not he has the virus, but a bet is a antivaccinist, by which he promised, who introduces him to a single article in science, which holds evidence of the existence of the virus of measles, it is receiving 100,000 Euros.This is the case Bardens vs. Lanka, and by the Bardens, he demanded from him payment of the amount, as it was submitted to 6 the scientific papers that prove the existence of the measles virus!The first instance of the point of Bardens, and ordered the enforcement of the payment of the sum of 100,000 euro by the Lankans, which was constestat the decision of the court the upper.In the context of the supreme court it has been established that the Lankans don't pay for it because it is his right to say it, if the evidence submitted by the Bardens are satisfying the demands of his own, however, the Supreme Court, and the German is not to say that virsul does not exist.Moreover, in the process, they have used arguments such as the fact that Bardens was presented to the 6 articles that corroborated based on the evidence of the existence of the measles virus, and the Lanka, he explained that he had asked for a single item that contains all of the evidence, which is a play on words with the double meaning in the German language.Unfortunately, this kind of manipulation and disinformation, it can cost innocent lives, inducing their parents in a mistake. We'll see how I go, children unvaccinated, when the remedy is there, and I don't manage it.

Vaccination has saved hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of lives starting from the past, it was possible to prevent some of the deadly diseases such as polio, which is still seeing the effects it has on the people who have suffered from this terrible disease in childhood. Now, in 2018, is trying to convince parents that the vaciinarea it is not necessary, as it is dangerous and that measles virus does not exist.In conclusion, will you please tell the correct from the sources of the skill, if you have any doubts about the vaccination. Talk to them, to explain what this is all about, and why you should be vaccinated from one child at a time. I don't listen to the stories of the personal privacy, which are being built on the medical issues that you don't have to deal with the effect of the vaccination.Yes, the vaccine can have side effects just like any medicine, however the side effects do not include autism spectrum disorders, and other things handled by people, necunoscatoare, even if they are with good intentions, sometimes. Think about it, what do you do if you refuse to vaccinate, and your child falls victim to an illness that you could not get a hold of very easily by vaccination!I know you're going to get all of the antivaccinistii to tell us that we don't have the right, and it's not like that, as it's however the duty of the physician is to warn of and to explain, and the obligation to you is to check right before you make a decision that will cost the life of your child!”, the writing Was on the Facebook.",28,"romania"

"55312","When you review the headlines, one might notice that there are now a multitude of articles on the measles virus in the majority of the mainstream media. The outbreaks in places like New York city have led to what the AP calls ""the extraordinary powers of the police"" to order the vaccinations, or quarantine of those suspected of the disease. Proponents of mandatory vaccinations argue these measures while claiming that there is too much resistance to vaccination against measles based on a variety of philosophical concerns or religious. They want the new state laws eliminate the possibility of opt not to receive any vaccine for non-medical reasons. Why so few options in the vaccines? But, why some people are resistant to the vaccine against measles? And, what is more important, are there ways in which vaccine manufacturers can address some of these problems? There are, of course, a great variety of reasons given by the patients and guardians to choose not to be vaccinated. Many of these involve discussions about the science of vaccines and their effects and risks. I will leave those discussions to the biologists and their critics. What I will be interested in this article is how the regulations of the State and the monopolies created by this have limited the types and varieties of vaccines available against measles, and how these decisions have been taken explicitly to limit the consumer's choice to adopt a particular public policy agenda. In turn, these political decisions have discouraged some patients and parents to get vaccinated. This is illustrated in the response to some of the parents and patients that have objected to the use of the measles vaccine in response to fears that the MMR vaccine composed is more dangerous than a vaccine ""antigen only"" or ""monovalent"". In other words, some people would prefer a measles vaccine that has not been combined with vaccines for mumps and rubella. This concern is apparently sufficiently widespread as to appear frequently in the publications of ""questions and answers"" about the vaccination against the measles. Meanwhile, the State officials and doctors insist that there are no scientific bases for these fears. Suppose that you are correct, and there is no additional risk. But, what should be the appropriate response to the continuing fears of the patient and the parents in this regard? It would seem that the answer to the most productive and efficient would be to overcome this objection by simply offering a vaccine is not composed. If the need for more vaccines against the measles is so urgent, it would make sense, at least in the short term, to overcome the fears over the MMR by meeting with consumers where they are. The result would be that more people get vaccinated, specifically against measles. In addition, at least in 2007, a measles vaccine a single antigen in the Uk could ""get a private manner"" (i.e., not through the National Health Service) at least partially through vaccines imported. These options have essentially been abolished by the government regulation in the united States. In addition, many medical professionals seem happy to embrace, and to press these monopolies, as the monopoly power can easily be used to force certain vaccines composed politically popular. Monopolists such as Merck are happy to go ahead, as this can help you boost revenue by simultaneously reducing administrative costs and market only vaccines composed more costly. The end result is an excellent illustration of how partnerships between State regulators and private companies can be used to reduce the options of consumers and even, ultimately, to promote policies medical payments that require the acceptance of the few options that remain. The original article can be found here. Refer to table 5-1 on Financing Vaccines in the 21st Century: Assuring Access and Availability. See chapter 5, ""Vaccine Supply"". Available online through the National Center for Biotechnology Information. Chapter 5 also describes how the concentration of the market towards a small number of suppliers has been significant in the last few decades. 3. See Caves, Kevin W. and Singer, Hal J., ""Bundles in the Pharmaceutical Industry: A Case Study of Pediatric Vaccines"" (11 August 2011). ""the requirement of the FDA that vaccines currently being sold in other markets are subjected to costly additional clinical trials before entering the market of the USA. UU. (in order to comply with regulatory requirements and potentially more stringent)"" often discourages manufacturers to launch vaccines in the U.S. See Financing Vaccines in the 21st Century: Assuring Access and Availability: ""a Big part of the I D current and testing of products are aimed at the expansion of combined vaccines because they generally reduce the number of doses and the costs of administration of the vaccination, although they can be more expensive""",28,"spain"

The content of the ARTICLE ON A PAGE READ in > previous page Next page ""Maischberger"": Alternative medicine – everything is just hocus-pocus? If you listen to Karl Lauterbach in ""maischberger"", you would probably pour each of its sugar beads immediately in the sink. ""All nonsense,"" says the doctor and SPD-health policy-makers, the power in a fun way, the methods of naturopathy low. It almost looks as if he would shake when he hears the word ""sugar beads"". It runs at the Talk with Sandra Maischberger so according to Plan: The physician wants to use a medicine, the not only acts, but their effect is also scientifically proven. In order for the naturopath, Ursula may Hilpert-Mühlig not come up. Your medical acting, why – well, Yes. Really you could not explain. No matter, the President of the German healing practice Association, many would like to believe. As the weather presenter Claudia Kleinert. For you school of medicine is to shoot ""cannons on sparrows"", what should mean so much: Doctors always prescribe the same antibiotics or surgery. ""Maischberger"" on naturopathy – the the guests were: • Claudia Kleinert (ARD weather presenter) • Oxana Giesbert (son died after measles disease) • Karl Lauterbach (SPD-health expert) • Natalie Grams (Physician and former Practitioner) • Ursula Hilpert-Mühlig (naturopath) • Jacqueline Klaus (father died after a ""miracle healer"" therapy) ""Maischberger""-Talk: Lauterbach can barely keep Kleinert got her tonsillitis with Globules in the handle, that's enough for your first proof. In front of the TV you will agree plenty of people, but in this round, Jupiter will be ridiculed login of the most. Lauterbach can barely hold on, when Bach flowers or cupping the speech is. It looks like he would be loszuglucksen on the verge of, or to twist the eyes. • Knowledge: • Background: Why a Homeopath from the Faith, fell Also slightly amused by the confidence in the Globules, and co., it shows a health care professional, and – interestingly – a former Homeopath: Natalie Grams of the wife, even the ""gentle helper"" championing once your patient is, and suddenly, Faith fell off.

Because no study was known, which showed an effect scientifically, damn you the beads into the realm of legend. Exactly how Lauterbach was not a good hair on the means which are taken by millions of people and swear that they help. Self-sung sailor song instead of chemotherapy, It is ""Maischberger"" so everything, as always in this discussion: All Humbug, but popular as never. Unfortunately – at least from Bach's point of view. And if you want to tell him so much time in the school of medicine also all is well – this evening it agrees with him, especially because the examples are so drastic. Jaqueline Klaus tells the story of her father, a mathematician, was ill with cancer, and a healer to treat him.

Also for another topic understanding: Impfverweigerung missing him. And anyone listening to this woman, Lauterbach again and again right: Oxana Giesbrecht tells of her son, Micha, was stuck in a pediatrician's practice by a non-vaccinated child. SSPE: son Micah was only 14 years old, Micah, who was six months too young to be vaccinated against measles, survived the disease. But then, five years later, showed symptoms. He couldn't speak anymore, he stumbled. The Doctors diagnosed severe brain inflammation of the skin SSPE. ""He will die,"" it said. Almost nine years Micha was a nursing case. Paralyzed, deaf, blind. With 14 years of his life was to end. Heavy Impfkomplikation only one out of a Million cases, The report of the mother was so moving that the talk show guests sat there as if frozen. The discussion about whether or not to vaccinate was dangerous, was able to win Lauterbach also quite fast: A heavy Impfkomplikation there is a one Million Vaccinated. ""If you can, however, not vaccinate, the risk is a thousand times as high."" An Argument that was convincing. But Vaccination? The pressure was too high, you should try it first, spotting, says Claudia Kleinert. ""Enlightenment?"", Lauterbach says. ""This doesn't work."" Why not? Maybe because of how the naturopath, Ursula Hilpert-Mühlig said many of her patients come to her because they were disappointed by the Doctors. Or because they had not understood often even.

At least 37 persons have died of the disease. Belgium performs in comparison with other countries, rather pretty, with some seventy of infections in the period from January through June of 2018.

An affected person can infect 15 to 20 people, In fact, the immunization coverage for measles is only 79% among infants, and it remains very insufficient in children and young adults. To ensure herd immunity, it should be 95%. ""It is only when one reaches this level of vaccine coverage in a group as the virus does not circulate,"" explained Mr. Solomon. And it is in accordance with this cover than the american continent as a whole has officially eradicated the disease in 2016. In this context, Public Health France recalls that a affected person may contaminate, in turn, 15 to 20 people, first and foremost, babies under one year, pregnant women and immunocompromised individuals.

In an interview Sunday, march 3, in Paris, the minister of Solidarity and of Health concern against what it considers to be a ""quirk"" : the upsurge of measles cases in france. This finding is the result of the cry of alarm launched on Friday 1 march by Unicef and the world Health Organization in the face of the return of the measles in 98 countries, including many countries in Europe such as the Ukraine, but also the Philippines and Brazil. Vaccination coverage is too low, The France is far from being spared. 2 269 additional cases of measles have been diagnosed in 2018 compared to 2017. Since 1 January 2019, 244 cases of measles have been reported. ""73 people were hospitalized, 19 have had pulmonary complications and 4 were conducted in the intensive care unit"", explains the minister, who believes that France is an ""at-risk territory"". ""It's been several years that our countries, such as Ukraine and Brazil, has inadequate immunization coverage. What is amazing is that we are a european country where it is very easy to obtain. To stem the decline of the vaccine, I had to make it compulsory last year,"" recalls Agnes Buzyn. Associated with the one against mumps and rubella, vaccination against the measles, became mandatory for children born on or after January 1, 2018. Despite this measure, the vaccination coverage remains largely insufficient in France, reminds the minister of Health : its current level is estimated at 79%, below the threshold of herd immunity, which is set at 95%. Agnes Buzyn, however, is optimistic. ""We have seen a gradual catching-up of the vaccination among families. Parents who have infants and who should therefore now be required to be immunized have become aware that there was no reason not to do it with their other children who are older. I recall that it is never too late to get vaccinated."" The anti-vaccine blamed For the minister of Health, this low level of immunization is largely due to campaigns by anti-vaccine. According to her, it is this distrust and skepticism of the French, who is at the origin of the upsurge of measles cases in france. ""There are still 20 or 30 years, our vaccination rate was quite sufficient. Like many countries, France has suffered campaigns of misinformation and she was obviously very sensitive. The world health Organization looks at us as an oddity. It is the country of Pastor and yet we are viewed as a bad student, capable of spreading the virus in the world,"" she laments. It points in particular ""people of extreme left or extreme right"", as well as ""movements within some political parties"". A very contagious disease measles is an infectious disease caused by a highly contagious virus that affected previously, especially young children from the age of 5-6 months. This is no longer the case : a third of the reported cases in France of people over the age of 15. ""A sick person can contaminate up to 20,"" emphasises Agnes Buzyn. Measles, for example, 10 times more contagious than the flu. It spreads very easily from person to person through the air when coughing, sneezing, or by contact with contaminated objects (toys, handkerchiefs...). Hence the need to get vaccinated. ""Vaccination is an altruistic gesture toward the most fragile,"" said Agnes Buzyn. ""Most of the countries of the north, where there is no mistrust vis-a-vis the vaccine, are not affected by these epidemics.""",27,"france"

Countries are declared measles-free when there is no endemic transmission for 12 months in a specific geographic area, and now the disease is no longer considered eradicated in Albania, the Czech Republic, Greece and the UK.  Kate O'Brien of the WHO's Immunisation Department told BBC News: ""We are backsliding, we are on the wrong track. This is the alarm bell that is ringing around the world: being able to achieve high national coverage is not enough, it has to be achieved in every community, and every family for every child.""

"5205","THERE have been two additional detections of measles in Limerick, bringing the total number of cases to 12, the HSE has announced.  The HSE confirmed this after announcing a second outbreak in Limerick city last Wednesday and two weeks after the initial outbreak.  An outbreak control team made up of representatives from the HSE are involved in managing the outbreak in an effort to prevent further spread.  “The best protection against measles is to be fully vaccinated with two doses of the MMR (Measles-Mumps-Rubella) vaccine. All children should get MMR at 12 months of age and the second dose at four to five years of age. If your child missed their scheduled MMR vaccine dose you should contact your GP to get the age appropriate dose.  “If people are unsure of their vaccination status they are advised to get an MMR vaccine, as even if they do have 2 doses of MMR a third dose is not harmful.”  The HSE, since the first confirmed outbreak on January 31, has ran two free MMR vaccine clinics in the city.  “At this point the only way to prevent the spread of this illness is to ensure vaccination of all those who can be vaccinated. This will also protect vulnerable people who cannot be vaccinated including infants, pregnant women and those with very suppressed immune systems (e.g. patients undergoing chemotherapy).”  The HSE said that measles symptoms include high fever, cough, runny nose, red eyes and red rash that starts on head and spreads down the body- this normally starts a few days after onset of illness. The rash consists of flat red or brown blotches, which can flow into each other. It lasts about four to seven days.  People with symptoms are advised to stay at home from work. Children should not attend school or creche. They are asked to contact the Department of Public Health at 061 483338 to advise that you think you/your child may have measles. People are also asked to contact their local GP.  “Patients with symptoms of measles should avoid presenting to the emergency department where possible. If it is necessary to seek urgent care, it is important to inform the ambulance service or emergency department that you have symptoms consistent with measles beforehand so that the appropriate precautions can be taken. Similarly, if you have been in contact with a confirmed case of measles and are seeking medical attention, please inform the healthcare provider before attending.”",27,"ireland"

Forget, because for decades there were so many cases of measles. Someone, fortunately few, of measles, we die as well. Usually children, a couple of weeks ago a child in Turin. Just yesterday we learned of another little girl in Rome, the bambino Gesu hospital, died on the 14th of April. Measles. Were those two children affected by other diseases that made their body weak and vulnerable. The measles gave them the coup de grace. Were not vaccinated or could not be given their pathology. But, in the case of the child of Rome, could be vaccinated, and the vaccine against measles could have saved his life. In the case of Turin, that child would be alive if around him the population was vaccinated to 95%, and then the agent of measles was literally without a home and land to live on. If that had been the agent of measles would not reach that child. But it is not so, in Italy, the percentage of vaccinated against measles has fallen to 85 percent, and goes down again. Commercial operation started in 1998, with a commercial operation, and the contrary, he inoculated a very powerful virus in the head of many people. This virus, unfortunately, does not know vaccines. Reaches the mind, the consciousness, the soul, and if it takes hold. The ground spread is the web, but it is not the Network the untore. The virus is inside the human, the Network only awakens.

Parents refuse vaccines for their children, the last event of the chronicle, the guy dropped the bike in Oristano and struck by the tetanus (thankfully not life threatening). Parents refuse vaccines for their children and it seems to them to be wise and cautious.

But, according to the INSA, the “measles has continued to spread and in 2013, they were declared to be 10.271 cases of measles in the 30-nation european union-EU/EFA (European Union/European Free Alliance), 91% of which occurred in Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, poland, Romania and the United Kingdom”. However, the most commonly affected areas are the regions of Africa and Asia, in the largest part of the estimated 20 million individuals are newly diagnosed. Four years ago, close to 96 million people died, and in spite of the unusually high number of deaths, there has been a reduction of 449 thousand cases, compared to the 1990 level. 2014.

The Ministry of Health has declared the outbreak in the National Capital Region (NCR), Luzon, Visayas, and Central Visayas Eastern, according to a statement released by the agency on its website. In it, he detailed that between 1 and 19 January were recorded 196 cases of measles in the NCR, in comparison with 20 for the same period in 2018. Throughout the previous year there was 3.646 cases of this disease, with respect to the 351 2017. ""We are declaring an outbreak because the cases have increased in the last few weeks and to strengthen the surveillance of new cases, and to alert mothers and caregivers are more attentive,"" said the minister of Health, Francisco Duque III. Second: Weiler, representative of the World Health Organization (WHO) in the country, has stressed that the levels of vaccination are well below the goal of 95 percent, and has warned that they are in decline. In 2016, the rate was 75 percent, while it fell to 60 percent in 2017 and is likely to come down even more in 2018. ""In this scenario, there is a group of children who are not protected and are susceptible to measles,"" he lamented, according to the chain of british television BBC.

"28012","The progress of a country towards the elimination of measles can be plotted on a ""road to canon"" that, in turn, can guide vaccination strategies, according to a study by scientists at the Bloomberg School of Public Health of the Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Maryland, united States. The researchers found that the trajectory followed by countries to eliminate measles is due to its birth rate and vaccination coverage. The adoption of the new concept of the canonical pathway, described in a paper published Thursday in Science, could help countries to adapt control efforts to the measles as they move towards the elimination of measles, in general, and also as a response to outbreaks. Childhood vaccines against measles have been standard in many countries since the 1960s, and it was thought that measles had been eliminated in several countries, including, since 2000, the united States. At the same time, measles still infects several million people worldwide, mainly children, killing an estimated 100,000 each year. The recent outbreaks in the united States and around the world make, 2019, one of the worst years for measles in decades. The researchers call this way ""canon"" because it is the expected result of the fundamental theory that governs the dynamics of epidemic of measles. ""When we completed the initial analysis of this paper with data up to 2014, the story was very clear: countries advancing towards elimination in the way canon and then stayed there,"" says the lead author of the study, Justin Lessler, an associate professor in the Department of Epidemiology at the Bloomberg School. ""Unfortunately, when we add more recent data, the story was complicated as many countries, particularly in the Americas, they began to go back by the way by the outcome of a vaccination inadequate fueled in part by the social unrest and rejection of the vaccine in several countries,"" he adds. The Centers for disease Control and Prevention (CDC, for its acronym in English) of the united States have estimated that the measles vaccines prevented more than 20 million deaths around the world between 2000-2017. Even up to the year 2000, there were 28 million cases of measles worldwide with more than 500,000 associated deaths. In recent years, there have been measles outbreaks with thousands of cases reported even in rich countries such as Germany, Italy and Spain. Some less wealthy countries, such as India, the Philippines, Ethiopia and Nigeria, still declare tens of thousands of cases each year. Decrease in the number of people susceptible to infection ""In general, we have relied on mark in gross and qualitative to classify the countries in their progress towards elimination and the determination of vaccination strategies,"" says study co-author Amy Winter, a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Epidemiology at Bloomberg. ""We wanted to enhance this framework using readily available data and simple calculations to summarize the complex dynamics as countries move towards measles elimination,"" he adds. The way canon described by Winter, Lessler and colleagues reflects the fact that the annual number of measles cases per capita in a country, a measure called incidence, decreases as you lower the number of people susceptible to measles. The decrease in the number of susceptible children occurs due to the increase of the vaccination and/or the decrease of the birth rate. The pathway also reflects the observation that, as that decreases the incidence of measles, initially becomes more variable from year to year, since the susceptible hosts are becoming are further away on average, and the outbreaks become more sporadic and unpredictable. These outbreaks are more sporadic change the nature of who is infected, changing the disease from an only child to one that can also affect adults. This age change has been obvious in recent outbreaks in the united States and in other places. ""Finally, he comes to a point on the road where it really looks like it has the measles under control and is moving toward the removal, and at that point the variability of the incidence rate also starts to decrease,"" says Lessler. The position of a country in this way involves other important information like the age distribution of persons susceptible to measles. As outbreaks become more sporadic, unvaccinated people can get old before you become infected, which can lead to challenges rarely seen in environments ""endemic"" where all are infected in childhood, such as infections in pregnant women. ""Zambia, for example, went from having infections systematic widespread of measles among the young children do not possess almost no measles for a time, and then began to experience sporadic outbreaks and, occasionally, in children and adults, says Lessler. In cases like that, the age range you are targeting with vaccination campaigns has to increase"". After introduction of the measles vaccine, countries in general tend to move along the path in one direction, towards the elimination of measles. But if it reduces the coverage of vaccination, they can turn around and start moving in the opposite direction. For epidemiologists, infectious diseases, one of the great stories of the last few years has been the increase of measles cases in middle-income countries like Brazil and Ukraine, due in part to the refusal of many parents to vaccinate their children. ""From 2014, several countries have begun to recede, are seeing sporadic outbreaks and large,"" says Lessler. And he adds: ""The concern is that as rates decline vaccination, you will continue the progression backwards.""",27,"spain"

In addition, it has been noted that, when the trip destination is outside the European Union, ""it is important to check, in addition, if you require any additional measurement, according to the country concerned"", for which ""there are going to be informed to the international vaccination centers"". In the specific case of measles, the Department of Health has explained that, currently, ""in almost all european countries is causing an increase in cases, mainly due to the existence of population groups with low vaccination coverage"".

"72312","Around 7.2 million people were born in Spain between 1970 and 1980 and are the group that the Ministry of Health recommends be vaccinated against measles if they have not been vaccinated previously or have not had the disease, before the rebound of the virus worldwide. Due to the confusion generated, sources of Health have reiterated to Efe that the epidemiological situation of measles in our country has not changed, keeping the state of removal from 2016, and remember that the recommendations are reflected in the common calendar of vaccination throughout life. Why the generation of the 70's? Routine vaccination against measles began to generalize in 1981 through the mmr vaccine, which also protects the rubella and the mumps, explained to Efe dr. Luis Ignacio Martínez Alcorta, director of innovation of the board of directors of the Spanish Association of Vacunología. All children born from that year that met the immunization schedule are properly immunized. In the decade of the 70's they used a monovalent vaccine against measles but only for a short period of time, so that there is optimal protection against disease for those who now have between 40 and 50 years, who are the ""target group"" of the recommendation of Health. And what about those born before 1970? The percentage of people born before 1970 who have not had measles is ""marginal"", says the doctor. Before that year the virus was circulating widely and is a disease as transmissible that more than 90 % of the people had already experienced before reaching the age of 18 years. ""It is extremely rare that do not."" Health assumes that these people are immune by having had the disease previously. How do you know if there is that shot? When in doubt whether you are vaccinated or has had measles, ""it is always better to get vaccinated"" because it does not pose any risk even if you have passed the disease. There is an analytical proof called serology to know if a person has suffered or not a certain disease ""but it is not recommended to systematize its use because it is much more cost-effective and safe to vaccinate,"" says dr. Martinez Alcorta. The only caution to take in account for administering the triple viral is, in the case of a woman, if you are pregnant and if the person has a chronic condition that results in immunosuppression, or is allergic to any component of the vaccine. What to do to get the vaccine? If it has been born in the years 70, there is to go to the health center for the medical advice. In the event you need to get the vaccine, the vaccine is ""completely safe, highly effective, and is free"". It is a vaccine of live attenuated virus and is administered in two doses with a minimum difference of four weeks between one and the other. The protection is approximately 93%. The side effects, if they appear, are ""mild and transient"". Currently, the first dose is given at 12 months and the second at 3 or 4 years. The vaccination rate of mmr in 2018 was higher than 95% in the first dose but the second dose is half of the autonomous communities did not come to that coverage. ""There is a tendency to cover vaccine tend to decrease as children get older,"" he says. Spain free of the virus measles is a disease ""extremely contagious"", so if you do not have ""high"" coverage vaccine of 95% or higher the virus continues to circulate and can be extended to other countries where it was not flowing so endemic. It is a disease that can be eradicated, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), which keeps Spain in the list of countries free of the virus. Sources of Health have reiterated to Efe that we are not facing a situation of urgency. Why there has been an increase in cases? There is not a single cause, but several. One of them is the lack of access to health services and immunization in some parts of the world or in certain populations. In developed countries such as the Uk, which has lost the status of having eradicated the virus, Martinez Alcorta points to the information ""not true and not proven scientifically"", which is accessed through the internet ""that makes some people seeking to renege on"" vaccines or ""hesitate"" at the time of putting them on to their children. How is the virus spread? The infection occurs primarily by the respiratory route through coughing, sneezing or talking. The virus can remain for up to two hours in the atmosphere. The disease presents with high fever, produces rhinorrhea (runny nose), conjunctivitis, cough and a rash is very characteristic. ""People think that it is a own illness of childhood that does not involve any risk but could be severe,"" warns the doctor. In fact, in one out of every thousand cases it can cause death and the most frequent complications are neurological, pneumonia, blindness, and severe diarrhea.",27,"spain"

It’s particularly important for parents to take up the offer of MMR vaccination for their children when offered at one-year-of-age and as a pre-school booster at three years-four-months.  ""If children and young adults have missed these vaccinations in the past, it’s important to take up the vaccine now from GPs, particularly in light of the recent cases in Bradford.  ""Check your child’s red book to see if they’ve received MMR vaccinations as scheduled, or check with your GP surgery if you’re unsure. Most healthy adults will have developed some immunity to measles but can still receive two doses of the vaccine from their GP too.  “Measles is extremely infectious to anyone who may not be immune. If you think you could have measles, it is really important to stay away from areas where you could come into contact with lots of other people – especially vulnerable patients in hospitals, care homes or other settings.”  Measles symptoms to be aware of include:  - High fever  - Sore, red, watery eyes  - Coughing  - Aching and feeling generally unwell  - A blotchy red brown rash, which usually appears after the initial symptoms.",27,"uk"

This now has changed thanks to a research of Harvard Medical School, in collaboration with Brigham and Women's Hospital.

The results were shocking even for the researchers, as mentioned by one of them, Dr. Stephen J. Elledge, the New York Times. The measles had been ""clean"" an important part of the immune memory of the children, wiping from 11% to 73% of antibodies – small proteins that inhibit a pathogen, by which we have offended in the past, to invade again in our body - that they had before they become ill, whether they had been acquired from previous pathogens and viruses that were sick, or from vaccine. At the same time, studied and blood baby who had been weakened virus of measles through vaccination, so as to confirm that it is not causing ""immune amnesia"" in the body. About How depression can lead to dementia How depression can lead to dementia Dr. Michael Joseph Mina, assistant professor of epidemiology at Harvard University, explains why they decided to make this investigation: ""The idea was based on previous findings that provided strong evidence that children who are infected with measles have an increased mortality and are vulnerable to other infectious diseases."" On that Dr. Elledge adds: ""What they found was that there were a lot of children, who believed he died as a result of measles – a number close to 400, but when they started to be vaccinated mortality was reduced by five times more than this number"". At the same time, the research coincides with a global increase in cases of measles.

Upsurge in drama In 2018, Italy was the most affected country in western Europe with seven fatal cases out of a total of 2500 cases (in France, there have been three fatal cases in 2018). But the Italian situation was sharply aggravated by as early as 2017, with five fatal cases out of a total of 5 400 cases of measles, never seen that before. This is explained by the steady decline in the proportion of Italians vaccinated for several years, with a level of 85%, while the world health Organization recommends vaccination coverage of at least 95% to secure a country. In Italy, there are, as in France of people who were opposed to vaccination. But now, the children are the victims of the resurgence of measles since 2017. The most affected regions are Lazio, the region which contains Rome, and Piedmont, in the North. On the other hand, the Valley of Aosta to the swiss-French border, has been spared. Drastic measures and political controversy In 2017, the center-left government decides to make mandatory ten vaccines, including the measles, so that the children could be enrolled at the creche or at school. The measure provides for a fine of 500 euros against the parents of unvaccinated children. Immediately, the Movement 5 star has spoken out against this measure, accusing the government of making gifts to the pharmaceutical industry.

During the summer of 2018, the controversy erupted with the protests of the College of physicians, which calls to respect the science. In addition, several regions announced that they will enforce the obligation of the vaccine if the State waives the return thereof. Finally, the populist government decided to restore compulsory vaccination. And finally, since march 11, 2019, the measure is effective. 5000 children were not able to attend school because they did not show proof of their vaccine and 300 have been suspended in the city of Bologna.",26,"france"

"6490","Measles, alarm Unicef: 110 thousand cases in the early months of 2019, 300% with respect to the 2018 measles is highly contagious and soon we may be facing a true epidemic. This is how it appears from the complaint made by Unicef on the occasion of the world Week of immunization, in relation to cases of measles, which in 2019 have increased by 300% compared to previous years. The main cause of this net increase is the insufficient vaccination coverage, both as a result of the cuts in the Health of both the skepticism and fear of vaccines. Measles, Unicef: “the Cases increase up to 300%. 435mila children not vaccinated in Italy” It is estimated that only in Italy there are at least 435mila children are not vaccinated and this puts our Country on the fifth place among the rich countries with lower vaccination coverage. The first-place ranking in high-income Countries with the highest number of children who have not received the first dose of the measles vaccine, we find the United States with more than 2.5 million children are not vaccinated, followed by France and United Kingdom, respectively, with more than 600,000 and 500,000 children have not been vaccinated. ""It is important to not only expand coverage but also to maintain rates of vaccination at the doses most suited to create an umbrella of immunity for all,"" said Henrietta Fore, the Director-general of Unicef. The world health Organization recommends a threshold of 95% immunization coverage to reach the so-called immunity of the flock. The alarm of the Unicef on measles: ""In the world 169 million children are not vaccinated. Too much disinformation,"" Despite the vaccines are one of the most important achievements of medicine and a fundamental tool for the protection of public health, in the last few years have increased more and more the number of those who claim to be opposed to their use. The reasons for this position are different, and some are very known: The “vaccines cause autism” is perhaps one of the explanations of anti-scientific to the most reliable. But also the exposure to the web sites and social networks has contributed to an increase in the phenomenon, as it ends up being exposed the most to the sites anti-vaccinisti that, numerically, make up the majority of the information available on the subject on the internet. In this way, misinformation, fear and lack of knowledge form a cocktail very dangerous for us and for the health of our children. Because you have to keep in mind that the choice to vaccinate or not is not only an individual matter, but affects all.",26,"italy"
"6491","28/09/2018 19:24:00, The measles has killed two other people, bringing to six the total budget of the victims in Italy. The new deaths reported, affecting two adults and unvaccinated: a 29-year-old and another 51-year-old, who both died in Sicily in the months of April and may, the peak of maximum incidence. The victims were, at the time of infection, affected already by other diseases that compromise the immune system. ""In all cases, the cause of death was severe respiratory failure and/or arrest, cardio-circulatory"", write the experts of the Istituto superiore di sanita (Iss). But the first to be reported were made all the inquiries that have confirmed the measles as the cause of death. Sicily is one of the regions most affected by measles, with well-1.116 cases from the first of January to the 31st of August this year. The incidence in the region is equal to 333 cases per million inhabitants. In the same period in the united states reported a total of 2.248 cases. The peak of the epidemic was recorded in the months of April and may, when they were, in fact, reported more than 400 cases per month. From the bulletin of the Iss, it emerges that the average age of cases is equal to 25 years. However, about one-fifth (429) have been reported in children under the age of 5 years, of which 138 had less than 1 year of age. 91.1 percent of the total cases was not vaccinated at the time of infection, and 5.5 percent had carried out only one dose of the vaccine. Half of the cases developed at least one complication, and nearly 60% were hospitalized. ""These data - says the Iss - emphasise the importance of vaccination as a measure of prevention in general and, in particular, in children and young adults. In fact, in Italy, measles has still an impact of health in terms of complications and deaths"". According to the Health minister Giulia Grillo, the greater incidence of cases in adults not vaccinated, confirmed in these two additional cases of death from measles, show that the obligation of vaccination alone is not enough. Despite having announced a few days wanting to leave intact the requirement for the measles vaccine, and not the one for the vaccine hexavalent chromium as provided by the decree Lorenzin, the minister intends to take additional measures to stop measles. The epidemic ""is in progress in our Country, demonstrates how to force vaccinations may be necessary, but not sufficient for the purposes of prevention,"" he says. ""The increase in coverage that the obligation he has produced in the generations of the new born has not stopped the spread of the disease,"" said the minister, explaining that ""the elimination of measles requires the implementation of complex interventions, described in a Plan that is already available and that, however, has been culpably forgotten since 2011, as well as non-funded"". The plan referenced Shackle provides additional measures. ""To stop the epidemic it is necessary, for example, to promote vaccination among health care professionals to ensure the opportunities of contact with health services - he explains - and needs to be strengthened very much the social communication. That's why I intend to quickly update the Plan Measles and propose to the Government and Regions to take concrete commitments for transforming the recommendations of the Plan, the actions supported, and verifiable"". In this sense, ""is to be welcomed the parliamentary initiative,"" continues the minister of Cricket - which aims to complete the legislation in force. I hope that they are provided for concrete initiatives: enhance the services to vaccine, to make operational the national registry, monitor coverage, and adverse events and adequately fund the expenditure"".

"6494","(ANSA) - ROME, AUG 28 - The case of the midwife of Senigallia that has contracted the measles is ""a big trouble"". This was stated by immunologist Roberto Burioni in a post on Facebook. ""First of all - writes Burioni - measles is a highly infectious bug. This is not only because the person who contracts the virus spread in a highly effective, but especially because the virus is issued by the person even in the days before the disease"". The role of midwives, the stresses Burioni, is particularly delicate. ""A midwife usually has to do with pregnant women. The measles, contracted during pregnancy, it is a possibility serious that can lead to dramatic consequences for the fetus. If one of the pregnant women with whom you come in contact with has contracted the infection, in this moment, along with the child she bears in her womb, is in serious danger. Understand that it is a situation so little desirable, and the most serious thing is that it is easily avoidable. The midwife had not been vaccinated: if it had been it would not have been able to contract the measles and could not transmit it to pregnant women. Anyone who works in a hospital is by the side most exposed to the contagion, the other is in contact with the most vulnerable populations: must be vaccinated. There is written in no law but the personal sense of responsibility should lead the health of this choice to protect himself and to protect patients. Not enough: when a woman approaches the of childbearing age must comply with the vaccination, because a measles, a rubella, or chicken pox can turn nine months of happy anticipation in a terrible nightmare, and avoidable with a simple, harmless and effective vaccination"".

"6500","Measles in the Campania region. Alert of medical. ""You must vaccinate"" Soon a conference on the theme of The Order of Doctors and Dentists of the Province of Avellino, expresses its concern for the resurgence of infectious diseases due to lack of vaccination, and a lowering of immunity of the “flock” that is hitting Italy as a whole with greater intensity in some regions (see the high number of cases of measles, which has, already four deaths). For the measles, but unfortunately our country is sadly the first places in Europe, together with Romania and Germany For what is expressed, the Order is contrary absolutely to the delay of the obligation to present certificates of vaccination for entry to pre-school and infant-toddler centres and, at the same time, it notes that a reduction in the number of vaccinations was due also to the dissemination, through the WEB of information scientifically false claims about the vaccines believed to be responsible for neurological disorders, such as autism, that is not confirmed and reflected in any of the international scientific literature, see the recent campaign antibufale in Health care promoted by this Order. On the other hand, the non-perception of the risk linked to the disappearance of many infectious diseases, thanks to the practice of vaccination such as polio and diphtheria, in addition to the total disappearance of the smallpox virus, has lowered the alert level of the population. For this we can say that the worst enemy of the vaccinations has been their success. We invite, therefore, all the doctors and the media, to a real campaign of promotion of vaccination, addressed not only to children but also to adults. For the latter the Order is particularly tetanus (often forgotten and which, unfortunately, has a population of some case in Italy) and, for over 65 years and at risk groups of the flu vaccine and pneumococcal (pneumonia is ,in fact, in the elderly one of the complications the most frequent of the flu). This year we will do everything to bring a strong message of the huge importance of vaccinations to the city of Avellino and throughout the Province. To do this, in addition to an extensive stress to the problem to all the colleagues, the Order has already arranged for day 6 of the month of October a conference on this theme, also open to the media and to all citizens of the irpinia. The Order reiterates the concept that the obligation and the recommendation to get vaccinated responds to the constitutional principle of the protection of health as a right of the individual and the interest of the collective, also for the benefit of the management of health care expenditure. The citizen has the right and duty to acquire all the information through the points of vaccination of the health districts as well as through the pediatricians and family physicians, that will be available to the population to ensure the health of all.",26,"italy"
"6508","Consultations, healthy life on pause and waiting for the second round (take your time, repeat it from the Sheet) you could open a dinner conversation on the tactical policy of the parent company 5 stars in the Senate, the man from the staring, Danilo Toninelli.

Then began an effort mnemonic group, among the representatives of the Pd and outside observers, in search of this dialogue, and especially of its fruit, she does not recognize but nothing, nor of the interlocution, let alone their results. The rest is skirmish, which is ok, but the spirit with which one who has closed a deal clearly aimed to exclude the Pd can then show up to that party to ask you to cooperate by following that agreement, and has something of the surreal, already said, but maybe also worrying. Later Toninelli has tried to correct a little bit, to be a minimum capable of political discourse, but the answers were negative and fioccava the irony. Also because, at the same time, leaving the other offensive, directed against the centre-right, with the 5-star hotel, this time with the authoritative voice Of Maio, they said, expressly to Matteo Salvini to break away from the rest of the coalition. Then, you can do everything, but it certainly can't blurt out the project of a betrayal so without a bit of preparation, outline, you would say "" policy. Are things that are not in the foot. Perhaps trying again, with other methods and more diplomacy, a space you can find. In short: the increase of the presence of the little noticed Toninelli on tv (but they send him anywhere) it lessens the chance of a government that understands the 5 stars. The result seems to be the opposite, because in the next round, the coalition allied, and send in a delegation only at the Quirinale. A gauge trusted long-term trends of the economy? The prices of the houses. And in Italy they continue to tell us, with their continuing decline, that there is a problem and that is a structural problem and not occasional.

"6546","Fifths in the world. And, in all probability, seconds in Europe. Italy and the measles, in the last few months, and have travelled arm-in-arm. The 4.803 bird flu cases registered in the year just ended along the Peninsula have brought our Country to end up in the top of the charts for the two goals, unflattering. To certificarli there have been reports of the World Health Organization and the European Centre for disease Prevention and Control (Ecdc), who have taken the snapshot at the level of the world as of the Old Continent. BECAUSE THE MEASLES CAN ALSO AFFECT THOSE WHO ARE VACCINATED? Widespread in November last year, the statistics of the World Health Organization refer to the first ten months of the year just concluded. Up to that point, in 2017, Italy was the fifth Country in number of bird flu cases (4.885): behind India (46.716 cases), Nigeria (8.414), Pakistan, and China (5.469). A significant addition to the list, since in our Country it inhabits a number significantly lower than that of people. This means that the incidence of measles - intended as the number of new cases registered in the total population - in our Country it is actually much more high compared to the others that precede it. Reports were received from all regions, even though almost nine out of ten cases were concentrated in seven areas of the Country: Piemonte, Lazio, Lombardia, Toscana, Abruzzo, Veneto and Sicily. Among these, 88 per cent of the patients had never been vaccinated, while six percent had received only one dose of the vaccine. The situation regarding especially the measles is alarming along the Peninsula is also confirmed by the Ecdc. From the data arrived from Stockholm, shows that in 2017, behind Italy, Romania (4485 cases), Germany (905) and Greece (625), which is currently experiencing an outbreak of measles: 968 cases and two reported deaths from may to today. Outbreaks emerging in the last few months have also been reported in France (77 cases), Sweden (26) United Kingdom (62). Overall, in the last two years, in Europe have counted 49 deaths due to measles. A trend that is rather simple to invert: for as long as you return to a vaccination coverage of the population equal to at least 95 percent of the population, to reach the immunity of the flock. The vaccine is completed in two doses: the first between 12 and 15 months of life; the second, in the sixth year of life. ",26,"italy"
"6578","Measles is an infectious disease caused by a virus of the genus morbillivirus (family of Paramixovidae). It is a very contagious condition that often affects children between 1 and 3 years, which is called the child, such as rubella, chickenpox, whooping cough, and mumps. Is transmitted only in man. The sick are isolated in the contagious period. Once you contract the measles gives an immunization theoretically final, so there is ill for the entire duration of life. Measles is spread all over the world. It is one of the most frequent eruptive fevers, although it is much less common when it is in use vaccination with recall. In temperate Countries, it affects children towards the end of the winter and spring. In Italy, the disease must be notified to the health authorities. Symptoms of The measles do not have severe symptoms, mainly causes a skin rash, similar to those of measles or of scarlet fever. Lasts for between 10 and 20 days. The first symptoms are similar to those of a cold (dry cough, runny nose, conjunctivitis) with a fever that becomes more and more high. Then appear white spots inside the mouth. After 3-4 days, it appears the rash characteristic rash), composed of small dots of deep red, first behind the ears and on the face, and then over the rest of the body. The rash lasts 4 to 7 days, the rash disappears, starting from the neck. Sometimes, it remains a flaking of the skin for a few days. Complications are relatively rare, but measles is still responsible for a number between 30 and 100 deaths for every 100,000 people affected. The complications are mainly due to super-infections, bacterial: otitis media, laryngitis, diarrhea, pneumonia or encephalitis (inflammation of the brain). Occurs more often in infants, in malnourished children or in people immunocompromesse. Usually the diagnosis is clinical observation. You possibly can search for in the serum of the specific antibodies against the measles virus, after 3 or 4 days of the eruption. Incubation and treatment The incubation period is about 10 days: it begins at the entry of the virus in the body and ends at the onset of the fever. The infectivity lasts until 5 days after the rash, and is maximum three days before, when she has the fever. Measles is one of the diseases more communicable. The infection occurs through nasal secretions, and pharyngeal, probably by air through respiratory droplets that spread in the air when a sick person coughs or sneezes. There is no specific treatment. You can treat the symptoms (symptomatic therapy) but not the cause: acetaminophen to reduce fever, syrup to calm the cough, drops for the eyes. There is a risk of prematurity for children who have the infected mother during gestation. Vaccination The vaccine of measles belongs to the live attenuated vaccines. The vaccine exists in the form of a complex vaccine against measles, mumps and rubella (Mpr). It is recommended a first dose of Mmr before 24 months of life, preferably in the 12-15 months, with a booster to 5-6 years or 11-12 years. Up to the 6-9th month, the baby can be protected from the antibodies coming from the mother if this is immunized. The duration of immunization of the infant is lower if the mother has been immunized by a vaccine and not the measles itself. As with all live attenuated vaccines, vaccination is not carried out in individuals with immune deficiency or under immunosuppressive therapy (corticoids, antineoplastic, anti-rejection), or as a precaution in pregnant women or who want to be in the next month. Instead, it is recommended for Hiv-infected people who have not yet developed Aids.",26,"italy"

"23210","In the Regional Sanitary-Epidemiological Station in Garwolin influenced by the information that two children from our district she had contact with a child sick with measles. Children accompanied by 3 adults. What action had been taken PSSE in Garwolin? What are the first symptoms of measles and what time of their occurrence, the patient is contagious? On Saturday to phone emergency services station, we took information from the Regional Sanitary-Epidemiological Station in Warsaw that two children from our house were ""contacts"" (persons in contact with the patient) with the patient with measles as a child. The contact occurred on October 31, 2018. in a Hospital emergency room in one of Warsaw hospitals, reports Dorothy Brojek, region district health officer in Garwolin. Fast action and doszczepienie on Sunday, performing the duty of chief of the Section of Epidemiology in Garwolin Monika Jaworska-Tudek adopted certain order of actions. Began with intelligence, epidemiological, during which it is established, in particular, that children were accompanied by 3 adults. In case one child had a mom and two – dad and aunt. Section supervisor contacted the guardians of the children and found that children vaccinated in accordance with current Immunization schedule: one child had been vaccinated with two doses of measles vaccine, the second child vaccinated with one dose. Adults were also vaccinated against measles with one dose of the vaccine, in accordance with the then current Immunization schedule. In this situation, agreed to doszczepienie of vaccines against measles, mumps and rubella. Present Immunization Programme in 2018. provides two such doses. A man of ""contact"" are offered free vaccinations against measles in accordance with the order of the Minister of Health in respect of methods of prevention of measles. Head of Section of Epidemiology in Garwolin contacted the family doctors of persons accompanying the children, and set the timing of their vaccination. Still no new filings relating to persons having contact with patients with measles. The suspicion is not confirmed Manager Monika Jaworska-Tudek reports that in September the district garwolińskiego there was one suspected measles. September 7, reported the case of one of garwolińskich clinic. It concerned his child from the hospital infectious. The child had made a rash which was not typical for measles. In accordance with the customs procedure in respect of the application suspected of the disease, the doctor POSES (primary health care) ordered production of the child laboratory research in the direction of the Oder. The staff of the Section of Epidemiology conducted and produced interviews of the epidemic, set state to vaccinate a child against measles, collected information about people with contact with the child and their status of vaccination against measles. Information about the fact of a physician suspected measles in the day in which he received the statement, was in the Provincial Sanitary-Epidemiological Station in Warsaw. Blood tests of the child, performed in the National Institute of Public Health – State Institute of Hygiene, gave a negative result. Not confirmed, this child has measles. Some parents shy away from the obligation of vaccination – Let's hope that the Warsaw fire to spread and more cases of measles will not. At this point in the district garwolińskim not have any measles soothes Dorothy Brojek. Region district health officer in Garwolin at the same time notes that, to avoid such situation it is necessary to vaccinate children. Within the County garwolińskiego 25 children under the age of 18 years of age whose parents evade from the duties of vaccination. In this number are children who have permanent contraindications to vaccination, but also those whose parents, for various reasons, refuse vaccination. They include beliefs and religion. Employee of the Section of Epidemiology in Garwolin Agnieszka Mazur notes that the number of unvaccinated children remains approximately at a constant level. This year added three new reports of non-vaccination. In small towns there are no problems with vaccinations. It's worse in the cities, especially the city of Garwolin. Most often it is the parents young and educated, who often refuse vaccinations already in the Department of nutrition. Both parents sign a document of voluntary refusal of vaccination. Some of the parents claims that with the vaccine, but at the moment, in their opinion, too early for their child. Parents declare the implementation of the vaccination at a later date and often complement these vaccination – says Agnieszka Mazur. Vaccines are safe is an important qualification of the right region district health officer in Garwolin emphasizes that vaccines are safe. Storage and distribution is under constant surveillance PSSE in Garwolin. Monitoring temperature in a refrigeration unit to store vaccines is a clock. Dorothy Brojek emphasizes that vaccination is always to qualify the doctor and the doctor makes the decision about whether this vaccine should be given to the child whether to delay vaccination because the child has a runny nose, cough or other alarming symptoms that could disqualify the child for vaccination against specific diseases. Therefore, it is important the right qualification to vaccination by the doctor. However, there are reactions poszczepienne. In the headquarters of the PSSE in Garwolin in 2018. got 3 messages about Unwanted Odczynach Poszczepiennych (nad) on approximately 30 thousand children to be vaccinated. It was a reaction from a mild stroke, for example, local swelling or slight fever. All such cases are well documented and reported, in particular, the state voivodship sanitary inspector and chief sanitary inspector. It is always better to vaccinate a child and have that confidence that the child has received immunizations on the disease – says Dorota Brojek and adds that strange and unreasonable is the refusal of vaccinations by parents already in the hospital, which serves the first vaccine against tuberculosis and HEPATITIS B. is that the parent gives permission for vaccinating your child has implications in the future of public life in the kindergarten, kindergarten, school. Sending there child is not vaccinated, the parent runs the risk of the disease to other children who because of permanent contraindications or due to the fact that they are still too small, they can't be vaccinated. The more children are not vaccinated, the more can be of the disease. Every parent should be aware of. It is the responsibility of the parents to the children were vaccinated, says Dorothy Brojek. – However, the awareness of parents in the issue of vaccination increases – adds Agnieszka Mazur. – HIV prevalence measles in Pruszkow and Warsaw, parents are very interested in the subject, call and ask already in PSSE in Garwolin and health centres in the district, how to verify their history of vaccination. Answer – this is best done at the doctor, where, a map of inoculations. In a situation where we do not have access to it, and a grown man doesn't remember that she was vaccinated, the best option is vaccination, says Agnieszka Mazur. In this case, if there was no contact with sick with measles, and we want to instill in getting a to pay. – Dear Parents, raise their children. It would be safer for them and for you. Many diseases really are preventable, says Dorothy Brojek. – Vaccination is the best and cheapest prevention. Treatment of diseases is definitely more expensive than vaccinations, so that you need from this good to use – adds Agnieszka Mazur. About time method of infection, symptoms of measles and its complications, says Renata Owczarczyk from the Section of Epidemiology PSSE in Garwolin. Symptoms of measles: fever, catarrhal inflammation of the mucous membrane of the throat, a strong, dry cough, acute rhinitis conjunctivitis with photophobia and lacrimation, rhinitis of the nasal mucosa, and later on the mucous membrane of the cheeks appear in whitish spots Koplika, then plamisto rash-papular, nieswędząca about typical positioning sequence – first the hairline and behind the ears, extending to face, the next day on the trunk and later to extremities.

(2017) 110 000 deaths attributed to measles were reported, according to the world health organization. Despite the fact that it can be prevented with two doses of the vaccine ""safe and effective"", according to the world health organization, the disease is highly contagious, it can kill a child or leave them blind, deaf or with brain damage, and the governing body of the UN, calls for an increase in the coverage of the vaccine. According to the world health organization's global coverage, which includes a shot ""at a standstill"" in the 85%, but would be required to reach the 95% to prevent further outbreaks, while there are 25 states that still do not include a second dose of their vaccination programs. One of the major causes for the rise of the outbreak, there has also been, for the parents who are opposed to the vaccination against measles on the grounds that it has ingredients that can cause autism, and constitute a group more and more non-conformist. The ""anti-vax"" is based on a publication in 1998 which established a link between the vaccine and autism. However, it has been proved that the plaintiff, in the uk, Andrew Wakefield, faked the results, and several studies have shown since then that the vaccine does not increase the risk of developing autism. This movement has improved life in the United States, a country whose health officials confirmed today to be going through the worst outbreak of measles in more than two decades, and the number of cases increased by 20% in the period that includes the beginning of the year until the 11th of April.

There are already a couple of decades in which the 'vaccine' for the disease was to have it be contracted, which, essentially, was taking place at certain times of the year, in which the disease was developing very, very quickly. Also, there are already a few years that the vaccine has good efficacy, and is a member of a national plan for vaccination. Measles and its complications are a part of the List of Occupational Diseases for many years, in a chapter from infectious diseases of poverty (see table 52.06)1 the work in the hospital (or other health care facilities) locations that are part of the list is limited to jobs that could lead to the disease.

It should be noted the dissonance between the natural history of measles-and in this classification. On the subject of the controversy about vaccination and I, to help you with your reflection on the article 13 of this Decree-Law, on the vaccination of workers who are exposed to microbiological agents other professionals: “ ... (1) If there are no effective vaccines against biological agents to which workers are or are likely to be exposed to the health monitoring must provide the vaccination free of charge, employees are not immune. (2) The employer must ensure that workers are informed of the benefits and drawbacks of vaccination and non-vaccination. 3 — vaccination shall comply with the recommendations of the Directorate-General of Health to be recorded in the medical record of the employee and recorded on his report card, and individual health.....”. I believe that the protection of the health and safety of those who work should be better appreciated by all of us, including the political authorities, by employers and employees, and their representatives, and to be, in addition to the approach which is based on the “guilt” that, in the middle of the NINETEENTH century was, in Europe, to be replaced by an approach based on 'risk' and the consequent need to assess and manage (the expense of the employer). Is it for the year or years to come), and more or less in the same time, it is very likely that these things are happening again ... and I'd like to not repeat this very same point.

"39813","How can you tell the difference between a small allergic reaction, chickenpox, and an outbreak of measles?  When your child develops spots on their skin, sometimes it’s impossible for parents to decipher what they are, and why they’ve appeared in the first place.  “Any new parent will tell you that spots can make them anxious,” says Jackie Hall, team leader of Healthy at Hand nurses for AXA PPP healthcare.  “It’s not easy for parents to know whether a rash or skin changes indicate a serious medical problem, and whether further medical assessment is needed.”  “A rash can give a clue to the type of illness, but other signs and symptoms are just as important in determining how serious an illness may be,” she adds.  Everything you Need to Know About Measles  What are the Symptoms of Measles?  Measles is a highly infectious, unpleasant viral illness that has some characteristic features to distinguish it from other viruses. Furthermore, it has the potential to cause serious complications.  A mass of red spots break out around the neck, behind the ears and face but can appear elsewhere too, including the inside of the mouth.  Measles can result in serious complications but, thanks to vaccination programmes, the incidence of outbreaks is low.  Initial symptoms of measles can include:  A runny or blocked nose  Sneezing  Watery eyes  Swollen eyelids  Sore, red eyes that may be sensitive to light  A fever  Small greyish white spots in the mouth  Aches and pains  Cough  Loss of appetite  Tiredness, irritability and a general lack of energy  Contact your GP as soon as possible if you suspect that you or your child has measles.  It’s also advised that you phone the surgery ahead of your visit, as they may need to make some arrangements to reduce the risk of spreading the infection to others.  How do I Treat Measles?  There’s no specific treatment for measles, but the condition usually improves within seven to 10 days.  If the symptoms of measles are causing discomfort for you or your child, there are some things you can do to treat these while you wait for your body to fight off the virus.  Rest and drink plenty of fluids to avoid dehydration.  Paracetamol or ibuprofen can be used to reduce a fever and relieve any aches or pains if you or your child is uncomfortable. (Aspirin should not be given to children under 16).  Is Measles Contagious?  Stay away from work or school for at least four days from when the measles rash first appears to reduce the risk of spreading the infection.  It’s important to avoid contact with people who are more vulnerable to the infection, such as young children and pregnant women.  You can avoid catching measles by having the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine. Measles is unlikely in people who are fully immunised or who have previously contracted the infection.  Vaccination with two doses of the MMR vaccine, as indicated by the UK Childhood Immunisation Programme, is thought to provide close to 100% lifelong immunity.  Everything you Need to Know About Chickenpox  Does my Child Have Chickenpox?  At first your child will seem a bit off-colour, they may be off their food and quite lethargic for a few days. We spoke to Dr Stephanie Ooi, GP at MyHealthcare Clinic in London, who took us through the common chicken symptomns and possible treatments.  READ MORE: Boots introduces chickenpox vaccination service  A few, itchy, red, raised spots on the neck, face, chest or back or other body parts will then start to appear. These turn into little fluid-filled blisters, which can be itchy and painful.  The child can be infectious for several days before spots appear and for five days or more after spots become visible.  Why is Chickenpox so Contagious? How Does it Spread?  “Chickenpox is very contagious,” Dr Stephanie Ooi confirms. “90% of susceptible contacts develop the disease.”  She explains it can be spread through droplets in the air as well as from direct contact.  You could just be in the same room as someone with chickenpox and catch it even if you don’t have any physical contact with them,” she continues. “In addition, you are infectious from 1-2 days before any spots might appear and it can take 1-2 weeks before spots appear once you have the virus.”  Certain people are at a higher risk of becoming seriously ill if they become infected with chickenpox. These include:  Pregnant women  Newborn babies  People with weakened immune systems  Remember, chickenpox can be spread through contact with objects that have been contaminated with the virus, such as toys, bedding or clothing.  You can try and prevent it spreading by cleaning any objects or surfaces with a disinfectant and wash any infected clothing or bedding regularly.  How to Treat Chickenpox? Is There a Cure?  Chickenpox is usually mild and can be managed from home, and most people feel better within a week or so. However, some people may become more seriously ill and need to see a doctor.  There is no “cure” as such. Dr Stephanie reveals: “Most cases are mild and should get better by themselves. There are a few things you can do at home to help.  Rest and drink plenty of fluids to avoid dehydration.  For a fever, painkillers can help, such as paracetamol. Ibuprofen shouldn’t be given to children with chickenpox as it can make them very ill and do not give aspirin to children under 16.  Always read the packet or leaflet that comes with the medicine to check it’s suitable and how much to take. Speak to a pharmacist or your GP if you’re unsure.  read the packet or leaflet that comes with the medicine to check it’s suitable and how much to take. Speak to a pharmacist or your GP if you’re unsure. You can buy topical preparations to apply directly onto the rash or administer an oral antihistamine to help reduce itching and soothe the skin– some antihistamines are not suitable for young children, so check with your pharmacist first.  An antiviral medicine called Aciclovir may be recommended if there is a risk of severe chickenpox, and you already have symptoms.  “There is also a chickenpox vaccine available but this is a preventative option rather than a treatment,” Dr Stephanie explains.  “This is given on the NHS to anyone who has close contact with someone who has a low immune system e.g. if going through chemotherapy, those who have had their spleen removed. If you do not fall into this category but wish to have the vaccine, you can do this privately. I would advise speaking to your GP first to find out more about it though.”  What are the Best Ways to Soothe Chickenpox in Babies and Toddlers?  According to Dr Stephanie Ooi, a few things can be helpful:  Paracetamol can be given for a temperature or if it seems like the spots are causing discomfort.  Keep nails short and consider socks over their hands at night.  Plenty of fluids. They might not feel like eating much so ensuring they stay well hydrated is important.  Cotton clothing can make them feel a bit more comfortable.  PoxClin mousse is easy to apply and can help to prevent further skin infection. Calamine lotion is a bit messier and tends to dry the skin out.  Pat the skin dry after a bath (rather than rubbing).  Is it Better for Children to Have Chickenpox Early On?  In general, the symptoms are worse in adults so it is better if they catch it when they are little. Sometimes people throw chickenpox parties – this is something I wouldn’t advise however as children can become quite unwell in some cases.  Allergic Reactions  Has my Child had an Allergic Reaction?  Allergic wheals are blistery, reddish, raised blotches on the skin that can appear rapidly on different parts of the body.  They tend to be itchy and are usually due to exposure to an allergen, such as animal hair and dander, grasses or foods and additives.  How do I Treat an Allergic Reaction?  Antihistamines such as Piriton can be helpful in reducing symptoms and progression. Most often the rash settles quickly over 24 hours, but if there is associated swelling of the face, lips or any breathing problems, call 999.

"41413","A New York county hit by a measles outbreak declared a state of emergency on Tuesday and banned non-vaccinated minors from public places in a bid to prevent the once-eliminated disease from spreading.  The measure, which defines a public place as anywhere ""more than 10 persons are intended to congregate"" - including public transport - was announced by officials in Rockland County, 25 miles north of New York City.  Due to come into effect at midnight Wednesday for 30 days, it appears to be the most radical step by US officials following outbreaks in several regions blamed on an anti-vaccination movement.  ""We must do everything in our power to end this outbreak and protect the health of those who cannot be vaccinated for medical reasons and that of children too young to be vaccinated,"" said county executive Ed Day.  Day also criticized the ""resistance"" of some locals to health inspectors.  ""They've been told 'we're not discussing this, do not come back,' when visiting the homes of infected individuals as part of their investigations,"" he said, branding such responses ""unacceptable and irresponsible.""  Rockland County, with a population of over 300,000, has registered 153 cases of measles, which was declared officially eliminated in 2000.",26,"uk"
"41714","Figures released today show more children in the WHO European Region were vaccinated against measles than ever before during 2018. However, progress has been uneven between and within countries, leaving increasing “clusters” of susceptible individuals unprotected, with the result result being a record number of people affected by the virus last year. The statistics reveal a total of 72 children and adults died as a result of the disease in 2018.    Monthly country reports for January to December 2018 (received as of 01 February 2019), showed 82,596 people in 47 of 53 countries contracted measles.    In countries reporting hospitalisation data, more than three-fifths of them - 61 percent - were hospitalised.    The total number of people infected with the virus in 2018 was the highest recorded since the start of the decade, triple the number reported in 2017 and a shocking 15 times the record low number of people affected in 2016.  The surge in measles cases in 2018 came after a year in which the European Region achieved its highest ever estimated coverage for the second dose of measles vaccination (90 percent in 2017).  Measles cases across Europe are soaring  In 2017 more children received the full two-dose series on time, according to their countries’ immunisation schedules, than in any year since WHO started collecting data on the second dose in 2000.    Coverage with the first dose of the vaccine also increased slightly to 95 percent, the highest level since 2013.    Dr Zsuzsanna Jakab, Director of the WHO's Regional Office for Europe, said: “The picture for 2018 makes it clear that the current pace of progress in raising immunisation rates will be insufficient to stop measles circulation.    ""While data indicate exceptionally high immunisation coverage at regional level, they also reflect a record number affected and killed by the disease.    A WHO map giving an indication of measles hotspots across Europe  “This means that gaps at local level still offer an open door to the virus.    “We cannot achieve healthier populations globally, as promised in WHO’s vision for the coming five years, if we do not work locally.    “We must do more and do it better to protect each and every person from diseases that can be easily avoided.”    The figures also reveal:    • Estimated coverage with the second dose of measles vaccine was below the 95 percent threshold to prevent circulation in 34 countries of the Region in 2017.  • Subnational coverage rates point to disparities even within countries.  • Suboptimal coverage for either dose sets the stage for transmission in the future.    There have also been record levels of vaccinations across Europe  The European Vaccine Action Plan 2015–2020 (EVAP) lays out a strategy endorsed by all 53 Member States to eliminate both measles and rubella, whereby at least 95 percent of every population needs to be immune.    Dr Nedret Emiroglu, Director of the Division of Health Emergencies and Communicable Diseases, WHO Regional Office for Europe, said: “In adopting EVAP, all countries in the European Region agreed that elimination of measles and rubella is possible, and is also a cost-effective way to protect people of all ages from avoidable suffering and death.    “Progress in achieving high national coverage is commendable. However, it cannot make us blind to the people and places that are still being missed.",26,"uk"

Now listen to some numbers relating to the modern years and the “civilized” societies. H most common complication is diarrhea, which occurs in about 8%, and which is one of the main causes of mortality in the developing world in which there is no good health access.

"15117","The cases of measles in Europe reached the 82.596, over three times higher than in 2017 (25.863) and most of the last decade, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Greece was among the ten european countries with the most cases, as it was last year, eighth in number of cases (2.193), while he was seventh in the ratio of cases in the total population, with 197 cases of measles per one million inhabitants. Increased were the deaths due to measles in Europe, 72 in 2018 from 42 in 2017. Measles is a highly contagious viral disease which sometimes can lead to serious complications (hearing loss, brain damage etc.), even fatal. Overall, immunization rates show improvement in Europe, as well as the percentage of children who receive the first dose of the vaccine reached an average of 95%, while the second dose 90%. On the other hand, however, growing pockets of resistance to vaccination, particularly in certain countries, where more and more parents refuse to vaccinate their children, usually for fear of the alleged side effects, despite scientific assurances that vaccines are safe and effective. In Italy, p.x. the Movement of the Five-Star hotel, <U+03C3><U+03C5><U+03B3><U+03BA><U+03C5>ß<U+03B5><U+03C1><U+03BD><U+03AC>, has publicly expressed doubts about the safety of certain vaccines and has recently spoken out against the mandatory vaccination.

Taking into account the population, the Ukraine also had the highest proportion of cases of measles with 1.209 incidents per one million inhabitants, an increase of ten times compared to 2017. The rise is attributed mainly to the fact that in the last few years, because of the conflict with Russia, it decreased dramatically to only 31% in the rate of vaccination, one of the lowest in the world, although more recently it recovered again to around 90%. The WHO hopes that the increase of cases in Europe will prove to be transient, although the current vaccination coverage does not seem high enough, in order to prevent the circulation of the virus in several countries.

The insect is the main vector of the chikungunya virus. It infects by biting, to the origin, a traveler sick. Then, he carries the virus and transmits it to people who have not been immunized. The fact that the tiger mosquito settles in France fear a mode of transmission as aboriginal, that is to say, cases of people bitten and infected in the mainland and in the Pacific ocean. An epidemic is difficult to contain When a person is affected by the chikungunya virus, she suffered a high fever accompanied by joint pain. While, generally, the patients recover well, sometimes the joint pain can last for several months or even several years. The chikungunya virus is one of the outbreaks more difficult to treat because it spreads easily, and because there is no treatment that contain it. A consortium of French researchers, americans and austrians have created a vaccine based on that of measles. The treatment has spent its second phase of clinical testing, with success, according to results published in the Lancet. The treatment is effective in a few weeks, The researchers belonging to the MedUni Vienna, at the Institut Pasteur in Paris and at the Walter Reed Army Institute in the United States. They have developed a live vaccine derived measles, that is to say that it contains an infectious agent is still active. The latter has been genetically modified in order to match the chikungunya virus. The vaccine contains an antigen too low to cause symptoms. On the other hand, it triggers a reaction of the immune system and thus causes the production of antibodies. The first clinical trials have been performed in 2015, on 42 people. The researchers were thus able to evaluate the optimal dose of the vaccine to make it effective. The second series of clinical tests, whose results are published in The Lancet, was carried out on 263 volunteers. Some have benefited from the vaccine, while others were given a placebo. This confirmed the first results: the vaccine has not caused side effects and has shown to be effective in just a few weeks. A third round of tests is planned. The researchers hope to market soon.

Also, the SPD-health-Minister Karl Lauterbach and the Federal Minister for family Affairs, Franziska Giffey (SPD) are in favour of compulsory vaccination. Already last Thursday, the Parliament called on the red-red state government of Brandenburg with a broad majority, to create the conditions to ensure that up to a Federal regulatory solution to a vaccination as a mandatory prerequisite for attending day-care centres and day care. At the same time, the state government should bring in Brandenburg, an initiative in the Bundesrat. The rest of the provinces currently have mandatory vaccination is no uniform Position to a measles. Expert at the Robert Koch-Institute, doubted the sense of the vaccination of The Impfexperte of the Robert Koch-Institute, Ole Wichmann, is holding a measles vaccination, however, does not make sense. In the case of measles there were gaps in adolescents and young adults, said Wichmann in the Bavarian broadcasting. ""The large gaps are more likely in older age."" The expert urged health insurance companies and Doctors to invite to the screening for the young, the so-called J-studies, in a targeted manner. Before a vaccination will be introduced, ""should we try to optimize other things."" In addition, there are also other diseases in which a higher Coverage would be desirable, such as for the prevention of cervical cancer.

"5210","HSE confirms 5 further measles cases bringing total to 11 in current outbreak  Further to recent measles, the HSE has been notified about a further 5 cases, bringing the outbreak to 11 cases so far. The HSE is particularly concerned about the risk of measles in children who attended Temple St Children’s University Hospital on the dates listed below, who may have been exposed to an infectious case of measles. Measles cases are also occurring in children and adults who are in contact with measles cases in the community in Dublin.  Temple St Children’s University Hospital  Day Date Time Department 21 days Wednesday 25th July 9.30am to 2pm Outpatients department 15th August Thursday 26th July 7.15pm to midnight Emergency department 16th |August Friday 27th July 4.20pm to 7.30pm Emergency department 17th August Monday 6th August 2.20pm to 10pm Emergency department 27th August  If you or your child attended Temple St Children’s University Hospital on any of these dates and you or your child develop symptoms of measles please stay at home and phone your General Practitioner (GP) for advice. The risk of measles is for up to 21 days after contact with a case. Please do not contact the hospital about attendances on the above dates.  Measles symptoms include:  · High fever  · Cough  · Runny nose  · Red eyes  · Red rash that starts on head and spread down the body - this normally starts a few days after onset of illness. The rash consists of flat red or brown blotches, which can flow into each other. It lasts about 4-7 days  · Vomiting, diarrhoea and tummy pain may also happen.  Dr Helena Murray, Specialist in Public Health Medicine said: “Measles can be a serious illness and is highly infectious. The best protection is to be fully vaccinated with two doses of MMR (Measles, Mumps, and Rubella) vaccine.”  Prevent measles by vaccination with MMR vaccine:  1. All children should get the MMR vaccine when they are aged 12 months. If any child aged over 12 months has missed this vaccine they should get it now from their GP.  2. All children should get a second dose of MMR vaccine when they are 4-5 years old or in Junior Infants at school. If any child in Senior Infants or older has missed this vaccine they should get it now from their GP.  3. Adults under 40 years who have not had measles or have not received 2 doses of MMR vaccine should contact their GP to get the MMR vaccine.  4. Adults over 40 years of age may sometimes be at risk and if such adults never had measles nor a measles containing vaccine they should consider getting the MMR vaccine from their GP.  Prevent the spread of measles if you think you may have measles:  1. Do not go to work, school or creche.  2. Stay at home and phone your GP. Tell the doctor or nurse that you think you might have measles.  3. Stop visitors coming to the house to prevent the spread of measles.  4. Pregnant women who have been exposed to measles should seek medical advice as soon as possible.  Risk of measles from international travel:  There are on-going outbreaks of measles in multiple countries in the European region and worldwide. Most of the cases in the EU in 2018 were reported from Romania, France, Greece, and Italy. Most people who get measles on holiday do not know they were exposed until they develop disease. Unrecognised exposures to measles have occurred at airports, on planes, at concerts, in shops and health care settings. In 2018, 31 deaths associated with measles have been reported in EU countries.  Advice for people travelling abroad:  Vaccination remains the most effective measure against infection. Children aged 6-11 months of age, travelling to other countries and regions where measles outbreaks are reported, are recommended MMR vaccine. A dose given before 12 months of age does not replace the dose that would normally be given at 12 months of age.  Older children should be age appropriately vaccinated. Children who have missed their recommended doses should get the MMR vaccine from their GP.  Adults may be at risk of measles, particularly those under 40 years of age who have never had measles or two doses of a measles vaccine.  Contagious:  Measles is highly contagious and is spread easily. The time between exposure to measles and developing the rash is usually 14 days (range 7-21 days). People are infectious from four days before rash starts until four days after.  Complications of measles:  Measles can cause chest infections, fits (seizures), ear infections, swelling of the brain and/or damage to the brain.  Measles is a notifiable disease and GPs and hospital clinicians should immediately notify Public Health if they suspect someone has measles.  Last updated on: 10 / 08 / 2018",25,"ireland"

Still, in fact, to occur cases of measles in the territory of the province of Rimini, where, in December, there is an outbreak that to date has involved 36 people. Also in Ravenna since the beginning of the year were recorded 8 cases of the disease, apparently not related, nor between them nor to the outbreak of rimini. Public health interventions made in a timely way in the field in Rimini for the containment of the outbreak have been limited in their effectiveness, due to the low adhesion of the contacts to be susceptible to measures of prophylaxis vaccination post-exposure,because of beliefs contrary to vaccination (so-called no-vax), a factor that has led over the years to create large pockets of the population that is not protected for this disease. In order to increase the number of vaccinated people in the whole of Romagna, the local health authority has given way, as recently announced, a campaign of the active call to vaccination in adults that, if not already vaccinated and if not immunized in any other way, will be allowed to visit at the outpatient clinic, local health boards of the various territories to be vaccinated free of charge . The policies of recovery of the vaccine put in place following the regional law of Emilia Romagna and the decree Lorenzin, have involved children of school age and health care workers, significantly increasing the coverage rates for these target,but leaving substantially unchanged the low coverage rates of young adults. In Italy, in fact, the vaccine antimorbillo is available from 1976, and only since the ’90s, the percentages of coverage have begun to be more significant than protecting children. Here, the campaign, extraordinary vaccination antimorbillosa geared to adults.

The letter will contain an illustration of the disease and its complications and the advantages of individual and collective vaccination, as well as, of course, the practical directions for access by reservation CUP. Have so far been sent 650 letters of invitation (250 to Ravenna, and, 200 in Forli, 200 Cesena) In consideration of the characteristics of an outbreak is still active, in the province of Rimini, the measures are slightly different, and more spacious. The outbreak affects mainly individuals between 17 and 20 years, for which invitations will look primarily to these age groups.

These letters contain an illustration of the disease and instructions for access to the vaccination, that can be free, without appointment, every Wednesday from 9 am to 18 at the headquarters of Rimini in the Service of Public health Via Coriano, or, on days and different locations, on appointment via the booking CUP.

"6511","The measles virus is like the 'reset' key to our immune system: it clears the memory sweeping away up to 73% of the antibodies that defend you from other diseases like influenza, herpes, and pneumonia. This 'amnesia ' immune', that can last months, has been documented for the first time in a group of 77 Dutch children's non-vaccinated, at the centre of two international studies published in the journals Science and Science Immunology. As pointed out by the same researchers, the results demonstrate that ""measles is more dangerous than we imagined"" and that ""the vaccine has benefits even greater than expected"", since that can also protect from secondary infections to the disease. Their vaccination has broken down to 80% of the cases of measles in the world between 2000 and 2017, saving 2.1 million of lives, but because of the most recent campaigns, no-vax, the trend was reversed, so that the number of cases from 2018 to the present day is increased by 300%. Also Italy is experiencing this phenomenon: according to the latest report of the Institute of Health, are 1.596 cases of measles reported from the first of January to the 30 of September 2019, with death from respiratory complications in an adult of 45 years old is not vaccinated and with concomitant diseases. Assess the impact of vaccination was the aim of the study was published on Science from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute in Boston with the Harvard Medical School and the Erasmus University Medical Center Rotterdam. The researchers used the test VirScan to analyze children's blood and measure the levels of thousands of antibodies directed against viruses and bacteria. The examination, made before the measles, and two months after the infection, revealed that the disease clears from 11 to 73% of the defenses antibody. The same test is repeated on the macaques first of the measles and five months after the infection, has confirmed the loss of 40-60% of the antibodies. Complementary results were obtained from the second study, published in Science, Immunology from the british Wellcome Sanger Institute with the University of Amsterdam. Always conducted on the same group of 77 children protestant orthodox non-vaccinated, shows that the measles due to the loss of specific cells of the immune memory, leaving the children vulnerable as infants are unable to respond to new infections. The effects of this temporary amnesia immune responses have been tested on ferrets vaccinated against the flu: a time affected by the measles have lost most of their antibodies, so as to become again susceptible to the flu, with symptoms even more severe. This proves, therefore, that measles can also erase the effects of the vaccinations done against other infectious diseases, and therefore, the researchers suggest doctors to strengthen the defences of the patients healed from measles by the recalls of the vaccines routinely administered previously.",25,"italy"

The sick are isolated in the contagious period. Once you contract the measles gives an immunization theoretically final, so there is ill for the entire duration of life. Measles is spread all over the world. It is one of the most frequent eruptive fevers, although it is much less common when it is in use vaccination with recall. In temperate Countries, it affects children towards the end of the winter and spring. In Italy, the disease must be notified to the health authorities.

"6535","In addition to the symptoms already known, measles can forget the immune system how to fight other infections – and this effect could last for years. This is what indicates the recent studies published in Science and Science Immunology. “We knew that this virus was destroying some units of defence, but it was thought to be a temporary effect,“ says Michael Mina, epidemiologist at Harvard University in the United States and the author of one of the documents. “We have now discovered that it can erase the very memory of the immune system for a long time,“ he adds. The previous results of the group followed by Mina, have shown a higher risk of death from other infections for two or three years after infection with the measles. But what would explain that? The study of The new experiment evaluated the antibodies of 77 children have not been vaccinated before and two months after the contraction of the disease. From there, there was a loss of 11-73% in the concentration of these molecules, which are produced to fight the disease. Here's an addendum. Each type of antibody targets an infection that is specific and is the product after an initial contact with the body. The defense cells responsible for the production “keep in mind” these enemies, in such a way that, in a future contact, to generate quickly antibodies that are able to expel them before they break out the symptoms. Well, in the context of this investigation, the monkeys have been infected with measles. Five months after that, they continued to have antibody levels by 40 to 60 percent lower against other viruses and bacteria. This suggests that this disease destroys these cells that produce them, causing a sort of amnesia immune. “The extended time for recovery is what draws the most attention on the job. We have noticed in practice in the past, when there was an epidemic of measles,” says Renato Kfouri, president of the scientific Department of immunizations.",25,"italy"
"7821","Measles is a highly contagious. The disease also destroys cells of the immune system, which is the cause of the previously experienced infections, to recognize. Thanks to the reformation of parents and children in Ochten and Opheusden is that now, for sure. It took longer than expected, but the results are great. The study of the effect of measles on the immune system, under the direction of dr. Rik de Swart, it is a good article in the latest issue of the scientific journal 'Nature Communications', which is on Friday the 23rd of november, was released. The Rotterdam-based scientist, since 1995 the research center. He was able to build on the work others had already done. ""My predecessor, Rob van Binnendijk, together with professor Ab Osterhaus, a mouse model for the monkeys to set up, as the measles virus only in the primates it infects.""

""Working with recombinant viruses that contain fluorescent –light reflective proteins, an expression of bringing in. A virus is not a living organism, but it can only reproduce through a host. It was almost impossible to get what the virus is exactly the host is doing. It is now known, thanks to the introduction of recombinant viruses. Thus, we infected the cells with a special blue light to make it visible, because other than mazelenviruseiwitten a green fluorescent protein, to produce.” The effect of the virus on the way to the show in the white blood cells, or lymphocytes, the soldiers of the immune system. The color shows when infected, damage is done, and when, a recovery occurs. Research conducted in Japan and released in 2000, it is the light by which a receptor for the measles virus to attach to cells. Of a receptor on cells of the immune system. A surprising discovery was, It was a surprising discovery. ""Up to that time, measles is seen as a classic, and respiratory infection. It is an extremely contagious virus that is transmitted by coughing and by air. The majority of respiratory tract infections that infect, as you would expect, the epithelial cells of the respiratory tract, but the center is a bit different from the others. The virus infects the first cells of the immune system. They deliver the virus to lymph nodes: organized parts of the immune system throughout our body. From there, it is in the blood and the entire immune system is compromised. A week later, attacks of the virus in the respiratory tract, thanks to a combination of the bottom surface of the epithelial cells of the respiratory tract. Our research with monkeys carried it to a special route to get it.” Research model and That of measles, the immune system is weakened, it had been announced. On the basis of the obtained research data was developed by the working group of The Conservation is a model for the potential function. ""A blood test to show that the number of cells as a result of measles is greatly reduced, but in a week or so after the disease is the volume of the blood is already normal. We were not able to explain the function of the immune system much longer to be suppressed.” It is through The Journal, and his research group have developed a model that mazeleninfectie naive cells of the immune system is activated. ""These are the white blood cells, which fight an invader, but in this case the measles virus. And almost always with success, because the measles virus is cleared, at the same time point, the virus is a slaughter among the memory cells, which are the cause of previously experienced infections, to recognize. As a result, the composition of the population of lymphocytes after an mazeleninfectie is very different. As a part of the primitive cells are developing into cells that the measles virus can recognize it, but the old memory cells are reduced. This was after measles, mumps, and the chance of infection is greater.” An outbreak of The mazelenuitbraak, in 2013, provided an opportunity to develop a model for the first time, to get people to test it. Thanks to Helma Ruijs, a medical doctor, infectious disease control is working with the municipal health service Gelderland-Zuid, and by the National Coordination of Infectious disease and the ENVIRONMENT, The Journal is in contact with the heads of three protestant schools in Opheusden and the Afternoon. Who were willing to encourage the parents to ask for their assistance. The response has been remarkable. ""Well, the orthodox protestant physician from the community based research project. The school and the medical doctor was not involved in the execution of it, however, thanks to their intercession, we came up on the necessary subjects. No clinical material is not research.” A visit to Opheusden and Afternoon, will We not soon be forgotten.

For the children, to the virus-infected cells, subsequently by means of a specific colour will be displayed. ""That turned out to be a lot more complicated than I expected. This was the duration of the study, not two, but five years from now.” Loss of memory is The study of the samples of the first group, suggests that the virus is, of course, infected the kids with the same route and the same damage results, as in the deliberately-infected individuals. The samples of the second group of people that made it possible to investigate what happens to the white blood cells and changes it in the center. Any damage that is caused in the immune system, and in which a part of the cells? In the opinion of the investigator, that is, the well-known infectious disease, should not be interpreted as an innocent kinderkwaal. ""Measles is caused by the killing of the cells of an immunological memory, which makes you more susceptible to other infections."" However, the damage is less than it was pre-thought it would be. ""The regenerative capacity of the immune system is remarkable."" This finding is consistent with epidemiological studies in the usa, where he has looked at the relationship between child mortality due to infectious diseases, and outbreaks of measles. ""It's good to know that a study are very indirect proof of results"", points out The Journal. ""The conclusion of this study, it has been in this center for about a month, is much more susceptible to infections. Two years later, you have to stay more likely than others, but the difference is less pronounced. This finding is corroborated by a recent study that we have done.” A great experience, Both academically and culturally, the study of the material from the Morning and Opheusden, The Journal is a high point in his career. ""I have had for a very long time with the center, but always at a distance. It was a great experience to be at the table to sit with people who are opposed in principle to prevent it. We were very warmly received and had extremely interesting discussions. All of these people stressed that they are not opposed to science. She felt a caricatural portrayed by the media. It will be clear to you that I am a strong proponent of vaccination, but it is fascinating to be part of the people to be heard as to why they have a problem with it.” The reasoning for the scientist, a mysterious and enigmatic. ""A number of parents have asked me, as a very practical way for me to work on the development of a pill for children with measles. I don't know why you're such a pill may be present in the vaccine and the disease it prevents.” On the basis of the study, argues in The Journal for information about the vaccine for measles, mumps, and with renewed strength in the hand. ""The vaccination rate is increasing in Europe. Not from a religious point of view, but because of the people have doubts on the safety and efficacy of the vaccine. It is not realize that measles is worldwide considered as a dangerous disease. In 2016, the world health organization, more than 85,000 at risk from measles-related deaths have been reported. In the Netherlands, the mortality rate of measles is very low, but this is, in part, due to the coverage rate of the 95 percent of the time. The effectiveness of this vaccine is 99 percent of the time.

In infants and young children are at a greater risk of infection due to measles, with complications such as pneumonia and encephalitis, which refers to the swelling or inflammation of the brain, as well as permanent brain damage, blindness or hearing loss. The virus can also affect the memory of the immune system for months or years after the infection, leaving the patient vulnerable to other potentially fatal diseases. the report found that the worst outbreaks of the measles, had taken place in sub-Saharan Africa, where many children go without immunization on a sustained basis. The rates of vaccination throughout the world, have stagnated for about a decade, and, according to data from the WHO and UNICEF, at least 70% of the children overall, have received a second dose is recommended.

Today, however, the united States and many other countries which had eliminated the disease are experiencing outbreaks of concern from measles. In an article published in the journal ‘New England Journal of Medicine’, these researchers remind us that measles can be prevented with a vaccine that is highly effective and safe. Every complication and every death associated with measles is a “tragedy that is preventable that could have been avoided through the vaccination”, assures the authors. “VACCINES ARE SAFE” “Some people are reluctant to vaccinate their children based on misinformation widespread of the vaccine. For example, they may fear that increase the risk of autism of your child, a falsehood based on a claim discredited and fraudulent. A very small number of people has a valid medical contraindication for the vaccine against measles, such as certain immunodeficiencies, but nearly all can be vaccinated with security”, they set out. When the levels of vaccine coverage decrease, the weakened umbrella of protection provided by the ‘herd immunity’ (direct protection that results when a percentage high enough of society is immune to the disease), it puts small children to non-vaccinated and immunocompromised persons in a situation of increased risk. “This can have disastrous consequences”, warn.

Those figures are from Unicef, the charity. When it comes to developed nations they put the UK in a dismal third place behind only the US and France.  Simon Stevens, the head of NHS England, described the figures as a “growing public health time bomb” and he’s not over-egging it.  To work properly, vaccination relies upon mass take up so as to confer “herd immunity” on populations. This is necessary to protect those who might otherwise still be at risk after their jabs. I’m talking here about people with compromised immune systems.  Get too many people listening to quacks, charlatans and people who think X Files scripts are based on real-life events, and the system that protects us from a host of invisible microbial killers starts to break down.  So how to address the issue? I find being on the same side as health secretary Matt Hancock to be anathema. Yet his call for new laws to force social media companies to cease promoting false information about vaccines is well made.  Pages devoted to the ludicrous anti-vaxx movement lock members into a destructive ecosystem that fortifies and validates their fantasies and draws others in. They spread misinformation and lies like, well, a disease.  He might also have taken a shot at broadcasters. Both the BBC and ITV have been guilty of featuring anti-vaxx “activists” on their programmes. In so doing, they confer a false legitimacy upon their “opinions” that are in fact – and I mean fact – nothing more than dangerous fantasies.  There is no debate to be had here. Those same broadcasters would not, for example, feature someone claiming that it’s safe to jump off a tall building without a parachute and pointing to false research to back up their claims. Yet if anti-vaxxers are shouty enough to make good TV, they get invited into the studio and onto the sofa.  It has to stop.  But it should go further than that. This is where we can and should call Hancock out because while social media companies, and media companies in general, have caused a great deal of damage through their indulgence of fruit loop anti-vaxxers, it’s too easy just to put the responsibility for dealing with this problem on to them. It was there before they helped it to metastasise it.  A responsible government (yes, I know what you’re going to say about this one) should be considering further steps to address the problem up to and including sanctioning the parents who choose to deny their children vaccinations.  To my mind they are guilty not just of abusing their own children, they are also guilty of abusing other people’s. We wouldn’t tolerate that in any other circumstances. We wouldn’t allow a parent to leave their child at risk by leaving them unsupervised at a young age. We shouldn’t allow anti-vaxxers to hurt their kids and ours.",25,"uk"
"4067","The Greens do not keep very much of Spahns plans. ""Spahn should be based on Conviction and low-threshold services, rather than on coercion"", it said the competent Green party member of Parliament Schulz-ash, the Berliner ""Tagesspiegel"". ""So that we can eradicate in the future dangerous diseases, I welcome diseases a vaccination against a virus such as measles. But, you could also include the Four-fold vaccination. Since (...) has summarized four vaccinations, namely measles, Mumps, rubella, and chicken pox – this is the standard vaccination, do not get today, all of the children, if the parents are actively resisting it.“ The question of whether one should let one's children vaccinated is a very personal question. But the measles are not as dangerous that Non-vaccination is only a threat to their own children, but also a risk of all the other children. Jens Spahn in his plans on his CDU and the SPD. SPD-Boss Nahles provides for the mandatory vaccination in the ""süddeutsche"" as a ""duty to Protect"". The freedom of the individual end where they are hazardous to the health of many, so Nahles. In Bavaria, almost every thirteenth child is not vaccinated against measles. The rate has risen, according to the Ministry of health in the last few years, to 92.2 percent. But, for many experts, a rate of 95 percent is necessary for measles to eradicate. The obligation is to come for all kindergarten and school children. And since even according to pressure, plans to Spahn also penalties for parents who refuse to continue. Of up to 2,500 Euro. And, unvaccinated children should be excluded from day-care centres. In the case of school children this will not work with the compulsory education. Federal health Minister Spahn wants his bill in early March, 2020 to enter into force. The goal is to increase the immunization Coverage to more than 95 percent. The measles vaccination in Munich is probably up to 2500 Euro fine for deniers to come at us in Munich, the vaccination against measles will come.

"15216","The disease is reported to restore the immune system in infancy of measles destroys in the long term our immune system and makes us vulnerable to other infections. The measles virus deletes a part of the memory of the immune system, with the result that we lose the ""immunity"" that we have developed in the face of infections that have already passed, with the result that the immune system returns to a baby stage, reveal new research data. Indeed, two surveys of non-vaccinated children in the Netherlands showed that on the one hand, this removes a part of the memory of the immune system after infections and, on the other hand makes children more prone to new infections. The findings were published in scientific journals ""Science Immunology"" and ""Science"" explain why children develop other infections after measles and emphasize the need for vaccination of children. It was found that, after the measles, the antibodies of the children decreased from 11% to 73%. ""We found strong evidence that the measles, in fact, destroys the immune system,"" said Steven <U+0395><U+03BB><U+03AD><U+03C4><U+03B6>, a geneticist in the faculty of Medicine of Harvard University, and author of an investigation, adding: ""The threat of measles is much greater than we thought"". Measles affects worldwide more than 7 million people each year and causes more than 100,000 deaths. The reduction in vaccination rates has resulted in approximately 300% increase in cases of measles by the year 2018. Britain, in fact, is no longer ""free from measles"" because of the fall of immunity to measles, mumps and rubella. There is a need to be covered at least 95% of the population in order to prevent outbreaks of these diseases. Among children aged two years in Britain, the vaccination rates fell from 91,2% in 2017-2018 to 90,3% in 2018-2019, which is the lowest recorded rate since 2010. Measles causes a cough, redness and fever, is very contagious and the virus can be spread by coughing, sneezing, and even exhaling. From the moment the virus enters the respiratory tract, penetrates the cells of the immune system that are located on the surface between the lung and circulatory function. From there, the virus multiplies and spreads to the cells of the immune system throughout the body. So far, the investigators have reason for long-term effect of measles on the immune system, since they were recorded many deaths from other infections that follow measles, but also due to the fact that the virus affects directly the immune system. In the first recent research on the issue, which was conducted by the <U+0392><U+03B5><U+03BB><U+03AF><U+03C3><U+03BB><U+03B1>ß<U+03B1> Petrova of the british institute of ""Wellcome Sanger"" and the University of Cambridge, it seemed that the measles corrode two different sides of defense of the immune system. In this context, gathered volunteers from three different schools in the Netherlands to participate in the survey. The researchers took blood samples from healthy non-vaccinated children aged from 4 to 17 years of age and attended the course together with this 77 of children who were infected with the virus of measles to the outbreak of the disease in 2013. To deal with the infections the immune system is based on the continuous pumping of a wide variety of immune cells, each of which with slightly different receptors on their surfaces, with the capacity to recognize virtually any pathogen. ""The greater variety of immune cells we have, the better,"" said Petrova. It was observed that, after the measles, the children were much more limited variety. The immune system generates memory cells, which remain in the blood circulation, allowing the body to quickly recognize and eliminate infections with which it has been faced in the past. However, after the measles, it appeared that many of the memory cells of the immune system no longer existed in the blood of children, a situation which the researchers called ""immune amnesia"". This may mean that children who contract measles need to <U+03BE><U+03B1><U+03BD><U+03B1><U+03B5>µß<U+03BF><U+03BB><U+03B9><U+03B1><U+03C3><U+03C4><U+03BF><U+03CD><U+03BD> for diseases for which they have already been vaccinated. The children were monitored by the researchers for about six weeks, so it was not clear how long it would take the immune system to return to its normal function. The Petrova suggesting that it takes about five years for a full recovery. The <U+0395><U+03BB><U+03AD><U+03C4><U+03B6> with its own research team, using a tool called VirScan (this is a tool that the <U+0395><U+03BB><U+03BB><U+03AD><U+03C4><U+03B6> and his colleagues presented the 2015, this detects all viruses that have infected a person, using only one drop of blood. The VirScan can detect antibodies against HIV, influenza, herpes and hundreds of other viruses), examined the antibodies in the blood and found that 11% to 73% of the antibodies were eliminated after the measles. The triple measles - mumps - rubella (MMR) does not create immunosuppression, with the result that it protects lifelong from measles, without, however, causing vulnerability to other diseases. The Petrova stated that the treatment of doubt about vaccines is a complex task and underlines the need for constant provision of adequate reliable scientific findings about the importance of vaccines, Jonathan Bal, professor of Molecular Biology at the University of Nottingham, stressed that the results of the surveys, in combination with the decreasing trend in vaccination, in the last few years remind us how important is immunisation not only for the prevention of measles, but also for the prevention of subsequent complications.",25,"greece"

It is particularly important to achieve adequate vaccination coverage, so the population of the so-called herd protection . The required coverage is around 95%. For example, in Finland in 2016 children born more than 96 percent have received the MMR vaccine, which protects against measles, mumps and rubella . Locality differences, however, can be large . Institute for health and welfare published last December, the county-specific list of children's vaccination coverage, where it turned out that in many localities, the coverage was necessary lower .

"2783","Body of text the genome of The virus of measles is covered by many copies of a ‘nucleoprotein’ which form a very long helical structure protective. The envelope of the genome is essential for viral replication and is controlled by the phosphoprotein. The latter has a surprising disorder conformational, that is to say, without well-defined structure. The first 300 amino acids of the phosphoprotein are in fact disordered and highly flexible. The usefulness of these areas is dissolute remained mysterious, especially the resource-conscious use of the genetic information of this virus family. The researchers used nuclear magnetic resonance to show that the area of the amino acid chain of the phosphoprotein contains two sites for interaction with the nucleoprotein and the two ends of the domain. These two interaction sites act together to keep the molecule in a form that facilitates the replication of the virus. Indeed, mutation of only four amino acids in the second site of interaction, previously unknown, and which constitutes a site of interaction ultra-low, inhibits the replication of the measles virus. ""This site is a new target for the treatment of the infection caused by the measles virus or of other human viruses are very dangerous for health,"" says Martin Blackledge, a researcher at CEA and author principal2 of this study. The essential mechanism seems to be conserved among Paramyxoviridae, the family to which belongs the virus rougeole3, but also the mumps virus or virus-Nipah.

"2804","What were the reasons for the epidemic appear ? Simply because the measles has never been eradicated in France ! Vaccination is advised since 1980 in children, but it is not mandatory since this year. And a lot of people are therefore placed between the meshes of the net. ""Today, it is estimated at 79 % the rate of immunization in small. It is insufficient to block the spread of the virus, "" explains Dr Jean-Paul Hamon, president of the Federation of Doctors of France. Why dies-one of this childhood disease yet is considered benign ? It is a fallacy to believe that measles is a disease without consequence. Even if most of the time, it manifests itself as red spots (which appear after an episode of nasopharyngitis) on the skin and a high fever. However, in 10% of the cases, this viral infection (which has no specific treatment) is complicated. Where the onset of pneumonia or encephalitis (inflammation of the brain) which can be fatal. ""These complications are particularly vulnerable people such as infants, the elderly, or the sick whose immune defenses are not functioning well,"" says Dr. Hamon. Also discover : compulsory vaccination of 10 questions If I have already had the measles, and then I catch up with it ? Do not worry ! You have developed specific antibodies against the measles virus. And you're a quiet life. My child has only had a single vaccine on the two, is it still immune ? No. A single injection does not guarantee the protection to life. The protocol of vaccination requires two doses of vaccine : the first at 12 months and the second between 16 and 18 months. If you missed the check mark of the second dose, you can do it later for a catch-up. Even if your child has reached the age of adolescence. Up to what age can you get a flu shot if one has never had the measles ? ""There is no age to receive the vaccine,"" says Dr. Hamon. Especially since measles only affects more than the children. Many cases in young adults have appeared in recent months. The only problem ? ""It no longer exists in France of the vaccine that protects only against measles. There is only a combined (and therefore more expensive) with the rubella and mumps, "" informs the doctor. Therefore, it is possible that you have had one of these two diseases. This does not preclude vaccination, but in the absolute it is not useful. Anyway, if you are born after 1980, do not hesitate to get vaccinated with two doses spaced at least a month. If you have more than 38 years of age, the vaccination is recommended if you are in a health profession or if you are in contact with infants. I cannot find my book of health or that of my child. And I do not know where I am next to vaccination, what to do ? Don't panic ! The MMR vaccine (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) can be performed without risk, even if you have already been vaccinated (and also if you have already contracted the disease). In the doubt, better is thus worth to do it again.",24,"france"

"6516","To delete the virus, it is necessary to vaccinate the highest possible number of people in Germany is aligned to Italy. The German Parliament has approved a law that makes it mandatory for the vaccine against measles. The obligation of vaccination will take place in march 2020, and will be applied in kindergartens and in schools, in refugee camps, but also to the teachers and staff of the hospital. The violation will result in the expulsion of children from kindergartens and a fine for the parents, up to 2.500 euros. A drastic measure after the Country has registered more than 400 cases only in the first months of the year. A strong signal that seems to want to awaken the world and raise awareness of the dangers of not vaccinating. Movements no vax in recent years have questioned the certainties on which you should not have doubts because, as recommended by the scientific community. The immunity of the flock polio, for example, in Italy, has completely disappeared thanks to vaccination, and others are close to elimination such as diphtheria, rubella and, indeed, the measles. To achieve this goal – the doctors say – it is necessary to vaccinate the highest number of people possible. No vaccine has a 100% effectiveness, but if the percentage of vaccinated people is above a certain threshold, close to this percentage, the infectious agent is not spread more. It is that which is defined as immunity of the flock (herd immunity). Some of the data According to the ECDC (european Centre for disease prevention and control (ecdc), the cases in Italy in the last three months recorded a sharp decline. However, Italy remains one of the countries with the highest number of cases in a year and with rates per million inhabitants, above the EU average. From October 2018 to September 2019, with the largest number of cases was reported from France (2.699), Italy (1.811), Poland (1.582), Romania (1.485) and Bulgaria (1.175), which represent, respectively, the 20%, 14%, 12%, 11% and 9% of all cases present in the member States of the EU/EEA. For this reason, the attention in our Country remains high, especially after the occurrence of cases that also lead to death. Roberto Burioni, medical and scientific divulgator, thanks to his interviews, to the presence of the charismatic and strong presence on social is the spokesman of the scientific community. A few months ago, after a case in Rimini, commented: “We need to vaccinate the adults, because there are so many children not vaccinated who are now grown up, and that may have a role is very dangerous in the transmission of the disease.” Italy, is an example. In spite of the "" no vax In Italy, the vaccination is required by law for school attendance of children and young people between the ages of 0 and 16 years old. On the Italian situation, Andriukaitis, the Eu Commissioner of Health, it is positively expressed. “Where you fail to do so with a plan of vaccinations to be voluntary, the only possibility is to make it mandatory. It should not be a controversial topic. In front of good results in countries such as Italy, this approach should be recognised by all as a useful practice, and adopted also in other member states”. In spite of the "" no vax, who interpret it as a lack of freedom of choice, ignoring much of what little leisure there is in endangering the lives of others. Have extreme positions that even compare with the obligatory vaccine of the racial laws or manifest in front of the school with white silhouettes making melody to the art. 34 of the Italian Constitution, as in Cesena. Fortunately, the law brings order, as in the Province of Bolzano, where it is confirmed the revocation of the registration of two children that are not vaccinated because “the right to health prevails over the right to attend the school of the child”. A state of emergency in the Islands of the Pacific, proof of the danger of a possible “rebirth” of the virus (for lack of the vaccine), has broken out in an epidemic of measles in the islands of the south Pacific. The contagion started from New Zealand and then expanded in the islands. The State archipelago of Samoa, in 200 thousand inhabitants, between Hawaii and New Zealand, has declared a state of emergency: has ordered the closure of all schools, including the National University. You are trying to curb the epidemic by prohibiting the frequenting of public places and making compulsory the vaccination of all the inhabitants that do not have a receipt. At the moment, you count seven dead. The virus measles is an infectious disease caused by a virus of the genus morbillivirus (family of Paramixovidae). It is a very contagious condition that often affects children between 1 and 3 years old, which is considered to be a child. Does not have severe symptoms, manifested by fever and skin eruptions similar to those of measles or of scarlet fever. Lasts for between 10 and 20 days. On the grounds of the dangerousness of the virus, a number of recent studies published in the journal Science have shown that it causes damage to the immune system, by clearing antibody-precious that can protect you from pneumonia or influences. And this “non-defense” of our body may even last for months. Marta Fresolone",24,"italy"

The CASES OF TERNI Measles and polio Ricci focuses, in particular, on ""the most serious complication of measles, the panencefalite sclerosente subacute, whose eradication can only be achieved by increasing the vaccinations. Measles is an infectious disease, highly contagious, caused by a virus of the genus Morbillivirus (family paramyxoviridae). The national Institute of health has registered in Italy, from January to July 2017, 3 thousand and 501 cases of measles (89% in children not vaccinated), 2 of which are fatal"". MEASLES, PLANS AND PREVENTION, Countermeasures, and vaccine complications are rare, "" reads the note signed by the Society of neuroscience hospital – but responsible for about 30 to 100 deaths for every 100 thousand people. Among the most fearsome must remember the encephalitides, in particular the panencefalite sclerosing subacute (Pess). This is a rare form of encephalitis a slow evolution and a fatal outcome that develops in children and adolescents several years after infection with measles. Encephalitis is caused by the persistence of the virus, “mutated” within the brain tissue that undergoes, after a short inflammatory phase, a progressive and inexorable neuronal loss, demyelination, and gliosis. According to a recent epidemiological survey (analysis of the logs from 1998 to 2015 ) a group of researchers at Ucla University Los Angeles the impact of the Pess in the United States was 1 on 1380 children affected by measles. In Germany it is estimated approximately 1 case of Pess on 1700/3000 children,but the incidence rates are much higher in India and the Middle East. There are no therapies the solution to this terrible disease that is fatal in almost all cases in the space of a few years. The only medical intervention effective, able to significantly reduce the incidence of the Pess is represented by the immunization vaccine so that low vaccination coverage between 1989 and 1991 in the USA led to a cluster of Pess 10 times greater compared to the epidemiological data of 1982. Remember that the complications of the brain that can develop after natural infection of measles far outweigh the possible, rare risk of complications produced by vaccination. The Sno promotes they conclude and encourages the vaccination antimorbillosa on a large scale in our country for the purpose of fighting and eradicating this disease.""",24,"italy"
"6531","The striking proposal of the Ministry of Health that was nothing short of amazing, the striking proposal of the experts of the Ministry of Health:if you vaccinate against the measles, you embrace in public competitions. Together with the involvement of other ministries, the new illusory motion to encourage adolescents and young people to adopt preventive measures against the epidemic diseases. The new project to prevent the spread of measles, could provide an incentive in the system of public competitions, university students, as well as new agreements with the sports federations for the prevention of the disease in athletes. The data in the 2018 Cent of the cases of measles reported in 2018 (out of a total estimated at the end of September of 2295 cases) were recorded among health care professionals. The data were collected by the Italian Society of Infectious and Tropical Diseases. (SIMIT) shows that of these 100 cases , 83 persons were not subjected to the vaccine, therefore becoming a fabulous means of transport for the virus that spreads in a short time. “It is absolutely unacceptable that a health care worker is not protected and therefore does not protect its clients, avoiding to contribute to the spread of infection,” explains Massimo Galli, chairman of SIMIT. The average age of the health workers affected by measles, it goes from 25 to 35 years, then not only are the children having to vaccinate. Every day about 400 small die of the measles: the chilling that emerges from the report prepared jointly by Who, Cdc, Unicef, and Gavi in this video: According to Galli, “don't have time” especially for the flu vaccine. Galli argues that the medical in regard to the preaching of good and razzolino evil, thus putting at risk themselves, but especially the patients.” And it turns out that there is no law obliging the doctors to the vaccine , but now there is the chimerical promise of benefits in the world of work. The goal therefore of the new proposal is to promote the obligation of prevention through vaccine, but encourage young people to be vaccinated with a “help” in the competitions, sending bitterly a message of “health they call” a place of work.

It supports the president of A New Italy-Basilicata region, Aldo Giacomo, underlining in this regard the positive behavior in the first place of the parents, the lucanians, and also of health authorities and the schools of our region.

Also these children have the right to be protected and it will be if those around them are vaccinated,"" the line of the Order of doctors of Monza and Brianza. But the tragedy of the child profile similar to leukemia 6 years, died at the San Gerardo hospital of complications from measles, confirm that the coverage of the vaccines is not complete. The rest are even numbers to capture a situation that requires a decisive action: in the first four months of the year were recorded 126 cases of measles in Brianza. While in the same period of 2016 were 11 in the previous year 13, and 2014 18. And never, in the last 15 years there had been a similar peak. Only in 2002 the disease had been diagnosed in 109 patients. A resurgence due to a single cause: ""the Well 117 of the sick had not been vaccinated against the measles, in line with the national data that shows about 90% of non-vaccinated, compared to the total of the sick, for the year in progress,"" explained from the Department of Hygiene and health prevention for Ats as Brianza (which includes the provinces of Monza and Lecco). In particular, the measles has hit 6 people, in Lecco, 29 in Monza and 91 in the vimercate area, for the most part, children under 4 years of age or adults between 30 and 34 years. Among them, have been reported complications pneumonia (4 cases with respiratory failure), hepatitis, otitis, intestinal problems, and stomatitis, but in no case was recorded in encephalitis, the most feared of the severe forms. So much so that only for 23 of the patients required hospitalization, while for the other 13 access to the emergency room. Of the 117 persons not immune to measles, instead, 9 have contracted the disease, although they had been vaccinated immediately after contact with a sick person: the vaccination post-exposure could not prevent the disease, but it has definitely helped to avoid possible complications. ""The provincial data confirm the persistence of the circulation of the measles virus due to the failure to reach vaccine coverage of at least 95% of children up to 24 months of age, the percentage indicated by the experts as a minimum threshold to stop the circulation of the virus in the population.

"6563","The rash on the skin is the most evident demonstration, but it is not certain that the most worrying. The measles is capable of doing far worse damage, encephalitis in the first place. This in the immediate future, but there are also long-term effects. The disease esantematica caused by the Paramyxovirus is capable of compromising the effectiveness of the immune system by deleting the “remember” infections of the past. This “amnesia” of the defence system exposes for months or even years, the body to the risk of contracting viral and bacterial infections of all types, from pneumonia, to ear infections to gastroenteritis. It is as if they were put out of use those defensive weapons sharpened over time, infection after infection, necessary to protect you from new attacks of the same enemies. Without these, the battle restarts from zero. The loss of memory immune responses elicited by measles is one of the many reasons to consider the disease that is anything but benign and the vaccine is becoming more and more necessary. The preferred target by the virus: the immune cells The first target of the measles virus are the cells found in the mucus of the nose and throat, or in the tiny air sacs in the lungs, or between the eyelids and the cornea. These immune cells have a protein called Cd150, which favours the invasion of the virus. Once assured the entry, the virus replicates inside the cells spreading into other parts of the body which are particularly rich in immune cells, such as bone marrow, thymus, spleen, tonsils and lymph nodes. A group of researchers at Queen's University Belfast in Northern Ireland has followed the path of the virus in samples of human tissues by reconstructing his movements. From the analysis it emerged his predilection for the cells of the immune system that are put out of use in a short time, leaving people vulnerable to the attacks of pathogens that otherwise would be rejected without too much difficulty. The results of the study were published on the mSphere in 2018. The effect oblivion: the immune system forgets the past The Bible Belt in the Netherlands is an isolated community of orthodox protestants, the members of which are not vaccinated. A thorn in the side of local governments charged with protecting the health of the entire population. But for researchers at the Erasmus University Medical Center, is the ideal place in which to study the effects of measles on people affected by the infection. The study started in 2013. We just have a little patience, but the epidemic sooner or later it would come. If there is no vaccine, the virus, you can be assured, do not you wait for a long time. In the meantime, the scientists have collected blood samples from 77 children not vaccinated in order to observe the functioning of immune cells. The same operation was repeated after the virus, as expected, had made off in the community decimating the classrooms. Also in this case, it emerged that the virus has a predilection for immune cells and, in particular, to those which preserve the memory of previous infections, called “Lymphocytes, T and B memory in normal conditions remind us of the threats that have already been neutralized in the past, allowing the immune system to act immediately in the event they occur again. The passage of the measles, the number of memory cells is reduced drastically causing a dangerous amnesia immune. The study was published in Nature Communications. It takes time to recover the memory lost another proof of the long-term effects of measles was provided by a british study published in the British Medical Journal. The immune system may take months or even years to recover the memory erased by the measles virus. And it is not a coincidence that children who have had measles in the next five years are much more affected by other types of infections than children who have not had. The researchers analyzed data on the health of the infant population in English between 1990 and 2014, finding that children who have contracted the infectious disease, have a probability of 15-24 percent higher to receive a prescription for an infection than children who were not affected by the virus. There is another, more worrying: children who have had measles are more likely to die from other diseases and the association continues to exist even 7 years after infection. On the contrary, the vaccinated children who then do not have contracted the virus, reduce the risk of death from causes other than measles. Vaccination, then, it also protects from other diseases. It is not yet clear how and in how much time the immune system recovers valuable “memories” that provide protection for a wide range. ""The majority of children exceeds the measles without any complications. The immune system is very resilient. However, measles is not a disease harmless to the child. For some people the consequences can be severe. But there is a vaccine for this. At the bottom, we know how to prevent this life-threatening illness. It's so simple,"" said Rik de Swart Erasmus University Medical Center in the Netherlands.",24,"italy"

But measles has still not reached a percentage of vaccinated at 2 years of age) of 95%, the minimum threshold for the who, which identifies the immunity of the flock. All the updated data of the ministry of Health The measles in Europe has been growing, and according to the latest estimates from the world health Organization (Who) in the first quarter of 2019 cases in our continent are tripled compared to the same period of the previous year in 2018 – a trend that reflects the global. In the face of these data it is good to intervene, or better to prevent by vaccination, the only effective tool. Even if the percentage of vaccinated against measles (and other diseases) are on the rise, has not yet been reached the essential objective of a coverage of 95%, the minimum threshold recommended by the who, which identifies the level at which you get the immunity of the flock. This and other data have just been disclosed by the ministry of Health, which has documented the levels of vaccination for each antigen in the various age groups (as we already did with the investigation of the Vaccines of Italy right here on Wired). Search the immunization coverage in your community covers the increase In general, in 2018, the vaccination coverage increased for all age groups, and the situation is improving, this is also due to the act on the obligation introduced by the decree Lorenzin. Rise, for example, the rates of vaccination against serious diseases like polio, but also those associated with vaccines are not mandatory as the anti-pneumococcal and anti-meningococcal C. in excess of the threshold recommended 95% of the polio, the antidifterica, tetanus and antipertussis, while they are below the other (the vaccination against chickenpox is at 74,23%). Not forgetting that many have not been vaccinated are retrieved subsequently: increase the coverage in the population of three and four years (delayed according to the provisions of the new legislation). And this is a confirmation of the positive trend, as reported by the ministry. Measles, the goal is not yet reached, However, in addition to the lights there are still shadows. At the national level in 2018 by an average of all the regions, the coverage for the first dose of the measles vaccine, assessed at 2 years of children's lives, comes to the 93,22% – while in 2017, was the lowest, equal to the 91,84%. However still have not reached the minimum level of 95%, you get the so-called immunity of the flock, a shield for all who indirectly protects even those who can not be vaccinated for specific reasons of health. In the case of measles no other Italian region exceeds the threshold of 95%. Cover the lowest was recorded in Bolzano, where it is less than 90% and 70%. “It continues to be a cause for concern,” reads a note from the ministry of health, “the failure to achieve the target of 95% for vaccination against measles, mumps and rubella in all age groups considered, despite the trend in the increase”. Better for polio, but not everywhere best Data you have about polio, a serious infectious disease eradicated in many (but not all) parts of the world, for which vaccination is essential to ensure that does not reappear. In Italy, for those born in 2016, and in 2018 they have completed two years of age, the coverage for polio, crosses and exceeds the threshold of 95% (it 95,09%) and earns about half a percentage point compared to 2017. In this case the 14 regions exceed the 95% and two approach (autonomous Region of Valle d'aosta and Trento). However, four Italian regions, Friuli Venezia Giulia, Marche, Sicily and Veneto are still below the 95% and Bolzano stop at’83,33%, significantly lower than that of the other regions. Increase the vaccinated late, A trend highlighted by the ministry is that of growth of the percentage of vaccinated at 3 and 4 years, but even at 5-6 years and at 8 years old, and that therefore retrieving the vaccinations missing (the delay exposes, however, a greater risk). For example, in the groups of children of 3 years, the anti-polio passes from 93,33% (given at 24 months detected to 31 December 2016) to 96,01% and the anti-measles from 87,26% to 94,93%, with a gain respectively, 2.68% and 7,67%. The ministry noted that all the results obtained from the analysis of samples of data sent by the regions, will be compared with those collected by the Register of the national vaccines.

(EUROPA PRESS) - In Galicia, the last case of measles recorded was in 2013. At the same time, was the only one produced that year and, in addition, it is imported, a situation of apparent tranquillity on which, however, the experts claimed the importance of vaccination: ""we must Not let down your guard."" The World Health Organization (WHO) published this Monday a report on this disease that raised the alarm: during the first half of this year, some 41,000 children and adults have contracted measles in the european region. Up to now, the total annual highest cases of the disease between 2010 and 2017 was 23.927 last year, and the lowest, a few 5.273, in 2016. So, this year has already surpassed the record amount of infected people by measles since 2010, half of the year. These figures, however, do not affect still to Galicia, not to register any case from 2013, as reported by the Department of Health to Europa Press. However, despite this situation, experts like pediatrician at the Clinical Hospital of Santiago Lorenzo Rendondo urge to ""be on guard"" against this disease, raising awareness of the importance of vaccines. ""Measles is a problem that in Spain we don't see,"" said the pediatrician, in an interview given to Europa Press, recalling that, in the country and, therefore, in Galicia, are considered to be ""eliminated"" ailments such as measles or rubella, according to the latest evaluation of the European Commission Verification Commission for Measles Elimination and Rubella (RVC, for its acronym in English). In the same line as the experts, the department of the galician Government in charge of health management attributed the non-existent number of new infections from 2013 in the community the high number of vaccinations. ""FUNDAMENTAL STRATEGY"": VACCINES ""vaccines are one of public health interventions have the greatest impact on humanity"", as has been emphasized dr. Angel Hernandez, member of the Advisory Committee of Vaccines of the Spanish Association of Pediatrics (AEP). ""Today it is estimated that vaccination programmes to prevent between 2 and 3 million premature deaths by diseases vacunables each year"", according to has been affected. In this sense, Lorenzo Round has emphasized that ""the fundamental strategy to fight against measles is the vaccination of the population"". Dr. gallego remember that the level of vaccination has to be ""very high"" To ""at least 95 percent of the population has to be vaccinated ""in order to be effective the protection."" On the contrary, if you lower the levels of protection, there are ""more ease of transmission of measles,"" said Lorenzo Round, which is a viral disease ""highly contagious"" and that currently can be prevented thanks to a vaccine mmr --measles, rubella and mumps--, that we must receive a total of two doses. This is the situation of which who realizes at the european level. In Spain, the vaccination calendar states that the first vaccine should be received ""around 12 months"" and the second ""at around three to four years"", as explained by Lorenzo Round, something that meets the practical totality of the population. A LOWERED RATE OF VACCINATION IN EUROPE AT the european level, seven countries have suffered at least 1,000 infections in children and adults this year: France, Georgia, Italy, Russia, Serbia and Ukraine. This last one has been the most affected, with more than 23,000 people infected, which represents more than half of the regional total. In this regard, dr. Redondo has indicated that the problem in these countries, ""has reduced the rate of measles immunization"", but has stressed that ""there is appreciable risk"" on a personal level and that, at the level of public health, the strategy to follow in the medium term is ""to insist on the vaccination, both in children as in adults who have not received. Also, Angel Hernández has explained that the root causes of why they have lowered the coverage vaccine in these countries are ""several"". On the one hand, in some countries is due to ""social circumstances"". For example, in the case of Ukraine, there are ""open conflicts that hinder the population's access to basic services"" and, in others, it is due to the ""social exclusion of certain groups"", as in Greece and Romania. On the other hand, in cases such as France and Italy, where there are problems of access to vaccines, the causes are ""the ignorance, the indolence or mistrust on the part of the population to vaccines"". SPAIN, ""EUROPEAN BENCHMARK"" In Spain, at state level, ""in vaccines we are the leaders in Europe, due to high coverage and confidence"", as indicated by Angel Hernandez. So certifies to the WHO, which last September noted that in Spain the measles has been ""eliminated"". This means that the virus is not transmitted continuously for at least three years, as explained by the member of the committee of AEP. In addition, in Galicia, as pointed out by Lorenzo Round, over 95 percent of the vaccinated population. According to data of the Ministry of Health on hedges vaccine, in 2016, a 97.9 percent of children gallegos between one and two years had received the first dose of the mmr vaccine, while 91.8 per cent of children between three and six years old had the second. Despite this situation, the doctors remind you that having ""eliminated"" the disease does not mean that you cannot re-emerge and has remembered the outbreak that occurred in the north of Portugal, a country where the WHO had accredited the ""elimination"" of measles, but where in a month came to pass the hundred or infected. ""It IS NOT JUSTIFIABLE in A MORTALITY rate of PREVENTABLE"" Of the 4,000 infected in the european region, 37 people have died due to measles in these first six months of the year, which represents a ""alert in the field of public health"", as indicated by Lorenzo Round, as it is a disease that can be prevented. So, has emphasized that although this is a ""low mortality"", ""is not justifiable in a mortality rate of preventable"". ""You should not die no one by the measles, and it is in our hands, with a strategy of adequate vaccination"", has underlined, as is ""a vaccine is absolutely effective and safe."" In addition, Angel Hernandez has also underlined the effectiveness and safety of the vaccine and has declared that ""with a lot of, the benefits of vaccination outweigh the risks real, but extremely rare, the vaccine. By against, the risks of the natural disease are very important."" In this way, in a system of vaccination voluntary as the Spanish State, Lorenzo Redondo has pointed out that it is relevant, on the one hand, ""the awareness of the population of the importance of vaccination,"" and, on the other, the ""network of pediatricians and Primary Care nurses, who insists day-to-day in the importance of this vaccination"". ""PROTECTING GROUP"" as Well, if the majority of the population are vaccinated, it produces the so-called ""protective group"" or ""protecting the herd"", because the people who can't get vaccinated for medical reasons, such as chemotherapy and transplantation, and that have not done so for other reasons, shall be protected, as explained by dr. gallego. Although for this case, remember, the group is not vaccinated has to be small --not more than 5 percent of the population-- ""because if this number starts to be large, it begins to put in danger the population from the point of view of public health"", that is to say, from a vision to a global level of people and their health. ""The vaccinations, on the whole, is a social good from which we cannot afford to be without,"" concluded dr. Angel Hernandez.",24,"spain"

In the year 2000, it was declared the elimination of measles in the united States, the not be observed sustained transmission of the virus for more than 12 months. Today, however, the united States and many other countries which had eliminated the disease are experiencing outbreaks of concern from measles. In an article published in the journal ‘New England Journal of Medicine’, these researchers remind us that measles can be prevented with a vaccine that is highly effective and safe. Every complication and every death associated with measles is a ""tragedy that is preventable that could have been avoided through the vaccination"", assures the authors. Vaccines are safe, ""Some people are reluctant to vaccinate their children based on misinformation widespread of the vaccine. For example, they may fear that increase the risk of autism of your child, a falsehood based on a claim discredited and fraudulent. A very small number of people has a valid medical contraindication for the vaccine against measles, such as certain immunodeficiencies, but nearly all can be vaccinated with security"", they set out. When the levels of vaccine coverage decrease, the weakened ‘umbrella’ of protection provided by the ‘herd immunity’ (direct protection that results when a percentage high enough of society is immune to the disease), it puts small children to non-vaccinated and immunocompromised persons in a situation of increased risk. ""This can have disastrous consequences"", warn. At this point, the authors describe a case in which a single child with measles infected 23 other children in a clinic for pediatric cancer, with a mortality rate of 21 per cent.

"40113","The number of UK children not protected against measles is growing (Picture: Getty)  Vaccine refusal is a ‘growing public health time bomb’, the head of the NHS has warned.  Simon Stevens said it was ‘grossly irresponsible’ for anti-vaxxers to be spreading scare stories as now more than 500,000 children are not protected against the potentially fatal disease.  The charity Unicef found 527,000 UK children had not been vaccinated against measles over an eight-year-period.  They found inaccurate and misleading information on social media was one of the main reasons despite measles causing disability and death.  Mr Stevens, chief executive of NHS England, said: ‘Getting yourself and your children vaccinated against killer diseases is essential to staying healthy, and vaccine rejection is a serious and growing public health time bomb.  ‘With measles cases almost quadrupling in England in just one year, it is grossly irresponsible for anybody to spread scare stories about vaccines, and social media firms should have a zero tolerance approach towards this dangerous content.’  Advertisement  Advertisement  A report released by Unicef on Thursday found an estimated 169 million children around the world missed out on the first dose of the measles vaccine between 2010 and 2017 – an average of 21.1 million a year.  The US has the highest number of unprotected children, with 2,593,000 youngsters missing out.  The second most affected country was France, with 608,000 unvaccinated children over the same time period, followed by the UK, with 527,000.  Other countries including Argentina, Italy, Japan, Canada, Germany and Australia also made the top 10.  Two doses of the MMR vaccine are required to ensure full protection (Picture: PA)  Unicef executive director Henrietta Fore said: ‘The measles virus will always find unvaccinated children.  ‘If we are serious about averting the spread of this dangerous but preventable disease, we need to vaccinate every child, in rich and poor countries alike.’  In the first three months of 2019, more than 110,000 measles cases were reported worldwide – up almost 300% on the same period the year before.  An estimated 110,000 people, most of them children, died from measles in 2017, a 22% rise on the previous year.  Children need two doses of the vaccine for protection, with the World Health Organisation (WHO) saying there needs to be 95% coverage to achieve herd immunity.  In the UK in 2017, there were 259 measles cases in England, rising to 966 in 2018.  In 2016 and 2017, uptake of the first dose of the MMR vaccine in five-year-olds in the UK exceeded 95% for the first time.  However, two doses of MMR vaccine are required to ensure full protection from measles.  Uptake of the second dose of MMR in five-year-old children is 88% – well below the 95% WHO target.  Advertisement  Advertisement  Unicef said the rates reflected ‘lack of access, poor health systems, complacency, and in some cases fear or scepticism about vaccines’.  Health Secretary Matt Hancock said the rise in people not vaccinating had to be tackled, and that he was “particularly worried” about the spread of anti-vaccination messages online.  He told BBC Radio 4’s Today programme that he was meeting social media companies on Monday to ‘require that they do more to take down lies that are promoted on social media about the impact of vaccinations’.  He said: ‘Vaccination is safe, it’s very, very important for the public health – for everybody’s health – and we’re going to tackle it.’",24,"uk"

The Prime Minister will today set out his plans to improve vaccination rates for the measles, mumps and rubella jab (MMR), which comes in two doses.  He has called for health leaders to renew efforts to ensure 95 per cent of the population have had both doses of the jab.  The rate of children having done so is currently only 87.2 per cent, down from a high of 88.6 per cent in 2014-15.  ""I think there's complacency on the part of parents about the need to get that second vaccine but also, I'm afraid, people have been listening to that superstitious mumbo jumbo on the internet, all that anti-vax stuff and thinking that the MMR vaccine is a bad idea - that's wrong,"" Mr Johnson said during a hospital visit to the Royal Cornwall Hospital today.  Steps to improve uptake will include ""catch-up"" vaccination programmes, strengthening the role of local immunisation co-ordinators.

The Church of Scientology has its very own cruise ship - and nearly 300 passengers and crew members aboard were quarantined in St Lucia because of a measles outbreak during a recent trip on the high seas.  This isn't the typical glamorous vacation to St Lucia. According to NBC News, St. Lucia health officials confirmed that the ship has been under quarantine since Monday morning after they found that a female crew member contracted the highly contagious disease. Hopefully, no one gets seasick along with the measles outbreak. While the confirmed case is currently in isolation, it’s highly contagious and if people have not been immunized, it’s more than likely they’ll contract it.  At least they’ll be comfortable during the quarantine. The Tom Cruise-approved cruise ship, Freewinds, is a 440-foot cruise ship that’s reportedly home to a “religious retreat ministering the most advanced level of spiritual counseling in the Scientology religion.”  The great measles outbreak of 2019 isn’t the first time that an event on the good ship Scientology has been newsworthy.

"41114","In 2016, the World Health Organization declared that the UK was a measles-free country, after vaccination rates reached the desired 95 per cent threshold, disrupting measles transmission and ensuring ‘herd immunity’.  Fast forward three years and the nation has now lost its measles-free status. But how has this happened – and what can be done about it?  Measles vaccination works  The simple fact is that over the past three years, vaccination rates against measles have begun to fall. Recent data suggests that only 91 per cent of children are now vaccinated against measles by their second birthday, with just 87 per cent receiving the second dose of the vaccine by their fifth birthday. The vaccination rate was as low as 66.7 per cent in one London Borough in 2017/18.  Vaccinating against measles (with the MMR vaccine) is the most effective way of protecting your child against the illness.  But vaccinating against measles (with the MMR vaccine) is the most effective way of protecting your child against the illness.  ‘The best way to lower your risk of contracting measles is to have the MMR jab,’ states Stuart Gale, chief pharmacist and owner of Oxford Online Pharmacy. ‘This is given routinely as part of the NHS childhood vaccination programme.’  Why have people stopped vaccinating against measles?  So why the drop in uptake of the MMR vaccine? It’s thought to be due to three main reasons:  1.Measles and anti-vaccination propaganda  The first is the availability of unscientific anti-vaccination propaganda available online. This spreads doubt and misinformation, causing people to believe that vaccines are unsafe, which is simply not true.  When it comes to the MMR vaccine, fears generally still stem from disgraced former doctor Andrew Wakefield, who had a paper published in The Lancet linking the MMR jab with autism. This generated the birth of the “anti-vax” movement, and still sparks fears among some today – despite the fact that the paper was later universally discredited, with The Lancet editor Richard Horton describing it as ""utterly false"". Wakefield was struck off the medical register.  ‘The MMR vaccine is safe and effective in reducing the incidence of measles,’ says Gale.  2. Measles and complacency  Experts believe that when an illness becomes less common among society, people begin to think of it as a less dangerous illness. They therefore don’t feel it’s necessary to vaccinate against it.    However, far from being a mild childhood illness, measles is an unpleasant and uncomfortable disease with potentially life-threatening side-effects.  ‘Measles complications include problems with hearing and sight, as well as pneumonia,’ explains Gale. ‘These are most common in children under the age of one, and some teenagers and adults. In some cases, measles can cause death, although this is rare.’  3. Measles and reliance on herd immunity  When vaccination rates among a population are high (and therefore prevalence of the illness low), you might think it unnecessary to get your child vaccinated, because appearances suggest the illness has been eradicated. However, as the name suggests, ‘herd’ immunity relies on the majority of the population remaining vaccinated – otherwise the disease reappears. This is what has happened here in the UK.  ‘Herd immunity describes resistance to the spread of a contagious disease,’ reveals Gale. ‘This occurs when a high proportion of a population is immune to a specific disease, usually through vaccination.’  There are some within the community who truly rely on herd immunity because they are unable to receive the vaccine (children under one year of age, for example, or those with weak immune systems, such as those undergoing cancer treatment). Therefore, it’s important for everyone who is able to have the vaccine to get it, to help keep vulnerable members of society safe.  ‘Very few people are unable to have the MMR vaccine,’ says Gale. ‘Some groups may be excluded for a specific period of time (pregnant women, for example), whereas others, such as those with a weakened immune system, may be excluded altogether. People who are allergic to any of the ingredients in the MMR vaccine are also unable to have the jab. Consult your GP about your specific concerns.’  The measles vaccination explained  ‘The MMR vaccine which protects your child against measles, mumps and rubella comprises two doses,’ explains Gale. ‘The first is given at 12-13 months of age and a second dose is given around the age of four, before the child starts school, although it can be given as soon as three months after the first dose if there is an urgent need.  ‘If your child has missed one or both MMR doses, they can have the vaccine at any age, free of charge, on the NHS.’  Measles signs and symptoms  If your child has not been vaccinated against measles, then they are not protected and are at risk of catching the illness.  ‘Measles is a highly contagious, airborne virus that is transmitted via water droplets, primarily through sneezing and coughing,’ explains Gale. ‘This can be through direct or indirect contact – where water droplets have been left on a surface that is then touched by someone else, for example.’  Measles symptoms will begin to show around 10 days after you have contracted the illness. Gale reveals that common symptoms include:  Coughing  Aches and pains  A high temperature  Runny nose  Sore eyes  Spots on the insides of the cheeks  A rash that appears two to four days after initial symptoms appear  Measles complications can include:  Hearing and sight problems  Pneumonia  Encephalitis (inflammation of the brain)  Death  What to do if your child has measles  ‘You should speak with your GP as soon as possible if you feel you or your child may have contracted the measles virus,’ advises Gale. ‘Antipyretics, such as Calpol or paracetamol, are best for the treatment of associated fever, aches and pains.’  Last updated: 18-09-19",24,"uk"

The observation explains the Ausl – is aimed to limit, as much as possible, the spread of the infection through the offer of vaccination to those who, within the contacts, they have already made and have not already had the disease. The girl had been subjected to liver transplantation. Immediately took admission in the department of Pediatrics, in isolation, while the Department of public Health of the Ausl Romagna has launched an epidemiological investigation among family members, relatives, friends and also in school and in sports to go back to the origin of the infection. The local health unit reminds you that the vaccinations of pediatric are also a fundamental tool for the protection of those who cannot be vaccinated. Dr. Rafaella Angelini, director of the Department of Public Health of the Ausl Romagna, "" he says. “The large scale use of vaccination in children is primarily targeted to the personal protection of those who carry out, in respect of the main and most serious infectious diseases and their complications, which can cause even very serious, debilitating, and in some cases lethal. But the practice of vaccination – continues the doctor – it is also meant to protect those who, as a result of health problems, such as the case in question, may not carry out the vaccinations in fact, if the percentage of the vaccinated population exceeds 95 percent, value, the so-called ‘immunity, and of the flock’, the people who can't be vaccinated, for example, severe immunosuppression, do not bear equally the risk of getting sick. Therefore, it is important to achieve the percentages of vaccination as high as possible on all the territories, or at least the percentage of the 95 percent, that is, in fact, the immunity of the flock”. Situation that Rimini has not yet been able to achieve, stresses the Lha, also due to the strong presence of movements against vaccinations. “Because of the recent national and regional laws on the obligation of vaccination, in all the territories in the Romagna region, the percentage of vaccination coverage has significantly increased. This certainly also happened in Rimini, indeed, where the increase in coverage has been among the most significant. But nevertheless, because of the levels of the past-are extremely low, the average for the territory of the province of rimini has not yet reached the threshold of 95 percent, which would be very important to protect the people immunosuppressed”, as the girl in question. Dr. Angelini recalls that “even adults who are in the conditions of having needs, they can request vaccination is recommended and free of charge, by contacting the USL”. You are also activating in tight times a active call of the adults from the register of vaccination are not vaccinated in order to promote the knowledge of vaccination, and actively offer the possibility to get vaccinated. “With the hope that civic sense will prevail on the part of all”.",24,"italy"

"16017","International World Health Organization: Tripling of cases in a year, according to the WHO - ""The fact that a child dies from a disease that is preventable through vaccination is an outrage and a collective failure,"" said the director-general of the WHO Is one of the most infectious diseases affecting humans, more than Ebola, tuberculosis or the flu. Besides being highly contagious, the virus of measles is also a highly durable. Can remain active in the air or on contaminated surfaces for many hours. Recent research has shown that measles not only threatens the life of those who suffer from this or it can cause them serious complications, such as pneumonia, brain damage, blindness and deafness, but also affects the immune system to such an extent that is leaving them vulnerable to dangerous diseases for months or even years. In May 2015 the magazine “Science” published a scientific study in which the infection of measles can cause in a population at increased risk of mortality from other diseases for a period of from two to three years. The 1998 study by British dr. Andrew Wakefield, regarding a possible connection between the vaccine against measles and inflammatory bowel disease, which, in turn, can cause neuropsychiatric disease, and specifically autism, has caused legitimate concerns. In the coming years has been studied extensively, the likelihood of an association of the vaccine with autism, and no study has confirmed the hypothesis of Wakefield. Unlike a lot of thorough research found no relationship between the vaccine and inflammatory bowel disease or of autism. In May 2010, the General Medical Council of Britain took away the license to practice of Wakefield, accusing him of having behaved in a ""callous disregard"" for the children, and citing information that had been leaked earlier that the research was funded in part by lawyers who hoped to sue manufacturers of vaccines on behalf of parents of children with autism. The next year, in 2011, the German activist against the immunization Stefan Lanka has offered through the website of the 100,000 euros to anyone who could ""prove scientifically"" that the measles is caused by a virus and, at the same time, could measure... diameter of this virus. The ""argument"" of Lanka was that the measles is a psychosomatic illness and that there isn't even a virus that causes it. The evil was already done... Return to the past, the consequences of The proliferation of junk science and of the movement against vaccination is currently visible. The infectious disease, which had almost been extinct, has returned to the world and threatens millions of children. As announced yesterday, the World Health Organization (WHO), deadly epidemics of measles occurred in 2018 in all regions of the globe affecting almost 10 million people and causing the death of 140,000, mainly children.

""The fact that a child dies from a disease that is preventable via vaccination is, frankly, something outrageous, and is a collective failure,"" said the <U+0393><U+03BA><U+03B5>µ<U+03C0><U+03C1><U+03AD><U+03B9><U+03C3><U+03BF><U+03C5><U+03C2>. The figure for 2019 is even worse: the preliminary data up to November indicate a tripling of cases compared with the same period last year. The US has already said in 2019 the largest number of cases of measles in the last 25 years, while four countries of Europe -Greece, Albania, the Czech republic and Britain - had ceased to be considered from the ""free of measles"" in 2018 following the re-emergence of outbreaks. The last time, epidemic in Samoa, in the Pacific Ocean, has infected more than 4,200 people and has so far caused the death of 63, mainly children under 4 years of age. On Thursday, the authorities proceeded to the arrest of a local activist against vaccination Edwin <U+03A4><U+03B1>µ<U+03B1><U+03C3><U+03AD><U+03C3><U+03B5> accusing him of ""incitement to disobedience of government order"". Last year, the measles has affected primarily Liberia, Ukraine, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Madagascar and Somalia, with these five countries to record almost half of the cases worldwide. At a global level, vaccination against measles is at a standstill. The WHO and UNICEF announced that in 2018, approximately 86% of children received the first dose of vaccine, but less than 70% received the second dose that is required to be fully covered.

When she later came back home, were his feet cold. Isaia had died. The epidemic in the island nation off the Southeast coast of Africa is the youngest and probably the most dramatic example of what the world health organization (WHO) announced a disturbing return of preventable diseases.

In Germany, where almost 95 per cent of all School entrants both recommended measles vaccinations have received, can barely remember someone in mind that measles can also be fatal.

The action at the University of University of California, Los Angeles, and California State University, Los Angeles — which together have more than 65,000 students — reflected the seriousness with which public health officials are taking the nation’s outbreak.  “Measles actually kills people, so we have to take that really seriously,” said Dr Armand Dorian, chief medical officer at USC Verdugo Hills Hospital.

In the last few weeks, in line with what is happening at the national level, also in Lombardy you are registering a new increase in the number of cases of measles, with the occurrence of several outbreaks, mainly in the young population/adult. A phenomenon that occurs with a cyclic pattern: the more you accumulate people are not vaccinated and not immune (that have not yet contracted the disease) the more you develop foci of dissemination. The phenomenon concerns mostly the bands that are between 25 and 35 years of age, i.e. born in the years in which the address of the vaccination was not at all intense. “It therefore seems clear that the only effective weapon – said the Councillor to the Welfare of the region of Lombardy Giulio explore the old – against the spread of measles, the disease outcomes also serious, is the vaccination of all susceptible individuals. The work of prevention that the Lombardy Region is putting on in recent years involves the administration of a free vaccine for adults. But not only: in addition to the offering of the vaccine to the fulfillment of the year of life to 5-6 years, is seized the occasion, every access to the centers for vaccination, to offer free vaccination against measles, mumps and rubella to all users “at risk” or vaccinated partially with a single dose”. “Our campaign is made even more effective – continued the Assessor to explore the old – from the address to the vaccination of teachers, health care workers and the individuals most exposed to contact with a large number of people. The specific action and purposefully avails itself of the work of information and awareness of general practitioners towards their clients”.

However, it is important to proceed with the vaccination of adolescents and young adults are not vaccinated or vaccinated with a single dose. For this reason, I invite all of you to overcome obstacles and unfounded fears, and to contact the centre closest to the house to eradicate all doubt.” The last major epidemic which has given to Italy, together with Romania, the primacy of the cases of measles at the european level, is recorded in 2017 with a 4.991 cases, including 4 deaths, and a median age of 27 years.

The measles virus can survive up to 2 hours in the air or on objects and surfaces, and a person susceptible can be infected even after the sick person has already left the environment. Therefore, it is useful to remember to put in place protocols for preventing transmission of infections in hospitals, in clinics and in the Emergency department, which include: maintaining a high level of awareness among the health personnel of the possibility of transmission of measles in the field hospital",23,"italy"
"6554","We do not know why the parents of the child who died at Monza have not vaccinated their children. Measles was fatal. What we do know is that, despite the appeals of health authorities and awareness-raising initiatives, the false information about vaccines that do not stop and continue to spread more and more in the Network. Yet the scientific community has not found a causal relationship between vaccines and autism. The publication argued that this report was based on inaccurate data and moreover manipulated. And for this he was removed from the list of the medical publications. In addition, it is quite evident that, in the last century and a half, vaccines have saved millions of lives, and, still today, are the most effective means of prevention. It should be a matter to be resolved, but this is not so. So much so that the Government has had to issue a decree to counteract the signs of resurgence of some infectious diseases that we thought eradicated. But how is all this possible? Because the scientific information is not able to defeat the false information that propagate through the social network? To understand this, you need to understand the way with which all of us, every day, browse the net. Search engines and social networking sites are not neutral instruments. Through algorithms and filters, that push us towards content that can be traced to the research of past, who put us in contact with people who have our same interests. This is a phenomenon known as the Bubbles of the Network. If a person in the past has tried theories negazioniste on vaccines, subsequent research, will be more likely to encounter content which support this thesis. Similar mechanism happens on social: the friendships that are suggested, to conversations on the timeline, everything reflects our view of the world, our tastes, the issues that are important to us. To this must be added that every individual, for reasons of psychological character, prefer information that reinforces their beliefs from those that put them in the discussion. The consequence is that each individual is caught up in their own world, exposed only to those content and those positions towards which already has a predisposition. In addition, several studies have shown that the points of contact between the bubbles in which they support content pro-vaccines, and those no-vax are almost non-existent. Every bubble for the mechanisms just described, is nourished and lives its own life. It is exactly for this reason that the fake-news about vaccines continue to spread. Because those inside the bubble of no-vax never comes into contact with information that say the opposite. And because, true or false, are, however, information that reinforce our beliefs, and that is make the lever on that psychological mechanism to which we have just said. In the background there is a theme that is more general and relates to the feelings of distrust and suspicion, especially in western societies, is investing not only the political but also the spheres of knowledge, starting from science. The bubbles of the Network give a decisive contribution to all of this. So as to arrive at the questioning of the scientific method that should be the heritage of all. The effects, for politics, for the organization of society itself, can be devastating. Even Obama, in his last speech as President, spoke of the risks of bubbles in the Network",23,"italy"

And just a year ago there was an outbreak in Portugal with close to a hundred people affected, who fired the alarms in the galician community. Each time there is greater mobility among the population and, hence, there is a greater risk of the disease to Galicia, despite its high rates of child vaccination. As explained by the president of the Asociación Galega de Pediatria, Amparo Rodriguez, the coverage of vaccines in the galician community is wide: above the 98.7 percent the first dose.

"68413","New studies conducted by american scientists claim that children who are not vaccinated against measles, in addition to not having a shield against this disease, if ever you find that you need to face it, you are left with an immune system especially damaged. What happens is that the contact of the organism with the measles virus produces a kind of 'amnesia immune' that makes the body's immune system forget how to fight against infections caused by other pathogens. This 'amnesia' leaves them more vulnerable and, in addition, can last for months, even, persist for years. The results of these investigations, published in the journals Science and Science Immunology, highlighted the recommendations of the scientists that have been carried out: ""it Is important and necessary widespread vaccination to prevent measles and also the weakening of the 'immunity ' collective' versus other types of pathogens"", remember. (You are interested in: New vaccine schedule for 2019) Measles and death from infectious diseases The scientists who have come to these conclusions analyzed the immune system of 77 children who had not been vaccinated against the measles. Observed that if you were in contact with this disease, it could cause a suppression of immune that stretched over months and years. Probably, according to the scientists, this vulnerability is the reason for the hypothesis of previous studies that linked the measles, with 50% of child deaths due to infectious diseases. Among other things, the scientists that conducted the research found that two months after the measles infection, the disease had been removed between 11% and 73% of the antibody repertoire of the individual. In contrast, in infants and children vaccinated with the mmr, which includes measles vaccine, was not observed depletion of the antibody. ...... Have you vaccinated your child against measles?

The devastating childhood illness has killed 3,667 children and infected close to 184,000 people already this year in the DRC – a country that is also battling to control Ebola.  On Wednesday the government initiated the third mass-vaccination campaign – in collaboration with the World Health Organization, Médecins Sans Frontieres and Unicef – in an effort to bring the enormous measles outbreak to a close.  The epidemic this year in the DRC is the country’s worst for more than a decade and is spreading like wildfire; it is the fastest-growing measles outbreak worldwide.  “Measles is everywhere – every province of the country has cases,” Dr Karel Janssens, head of mission for MSF in the DRC, told The Telegraph from Kinshasa. “This is a very lethal epidemic.”",23,"uk"

There has been a sharp rise over the past six weeks, with PHE confirming there were just 168 measles cases at the end of March. PHE said the increase is associated with large ongoing outbreaks in Europe, with those aged 15 years and over who missed out on MMR vaccine when they were younger and some under-vaccinated communities particularly affected. PHE is advising that anyone who has not received two doses of the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine is most at risk, while youngsters coming into close contact with each other in environments such as festivals are more at risk, as well as unvaccinated people travelling to Romania and Italy, where there are currently large outbreaks. It said anyone who is not sure if they are fully vaccinated to check with their GP, who can advise them.  The total number is already higher then 2017, when there were 267 confirmed cases in England but is slightly lower than the 531 cases in 2016. The outbreak comes despite the World Health Organisation declaring last September that the UK had eliminated measles for the first time - meaning the UK had reduced the number of cases to a low enough level to stop it spreading through the population for at least three years. Public Health England Head of Immunisation Dr Mary Ramsay said: “This serves as an important reminder for parents to take up the offer of MMR vaccination for their children at one year of age and as a pre-school booster at three years and four months of age. “We’d also encourage people to ensure they are up to date with their MMR vaccine before travelling to countries with ongoing measles outbreaks. “The UK recently achieved WHO measles elimination status and so the overall risk of measles to the UK population is low, however, we will continue to see cases in unimmunised individuals and limited onward spread can occur in communities with low MMR coverage and in age groups with very close mixing.” According to NHS immunisation figures, 91.9 percent of children were vaccinated between 2015 and 2016 compared to 94.2 percent in 2014-2015 and 94.3 percent in 2013-2014.

But it was enough that a French child of 5 years old, on holiday with her parents in this central American country, will be flagged by the health authorities of the province of Puntarenas as a carrier of this virus ultra-contagious to relaunch the debate on the interest of vaccination. The subject is even more topical than at the beginning of march, Unicef alerted on the upsurge of ""special concern"" of the disease in the world, and pointed to France as one of the ten original countries of the three quarters of the increase in cases of measles between 2017 and 2018. The example of this young French tourist in Costa Rica emphasizes the collective risks posed by non-vaccination in the world. The director of Unicef, Henrietta Fore, said that there was yet ""a vaccine that is safe, effective and affordable way to prevent a highly contagious disease"".

They are then kept under medical surveillance in their villa before returning to France. Irony. Contacted by Liberation, Dr. Steven Villarreal, in charge of the vigilance epidemiological in the hospital, explains : ""The French family was in isolation because there has been no indigenous case in Costa Rica since 2005. The appearance of a case of measles has enabled the protocols for the alert to avoid a crisis with multiple cases at the national level."" It is with some pride that he recounted the way in which the health services of the State have been busy for two weeks to find and vaccinate the people with which the holidaymakers had been in contact. Positive, the doctor describes a ""rewarding experience from every point of view"", which has helped to burnish their protocols and for the parents who did not immunize their children. Irony of the calendar : while the French youngster was not vaccinated, Costa Rica was in the midst of the campaign of vaccination against measles - required for all children in the country - in order to maintain optimal coverage (estimated at 95 % by the WHO) against the viral infection. France made as to it the figure of a poor student. Although the two doses that must be injected in order for the vaccine to be effective are recommended for a long time, and mandatory for children born from January 2018, only 79 % of infants have received in 2017. The Hexagon is singled out by Unicef as a tenth of the country most affected by the upsurge in cases of measles in 2018, with an increase of 2 269 cases, to reach a total of 2 913. Frances Salvadori - lecturer in immunology and coauthor of Antivax (ed Vendémiaire), a work tracing the history of the resistance to the vaccine states that ""the measles had declined in Europe after mass immunizations in the years 1990-2000 [...]. She re-emerges from it in a number of countries, by wave, in part because of a growing distrust of the people."" Ukraine. Since 1998, this vaccine has a bad press. In question ? A study establishing a link with autism. It has since been refuted as a ""scam science"". To the extent that measles is still perceived as a disease of childhood benign that he ""should do"". According to Françoise Salvadori, this stance overlooks the fact that some are more fragile than others, or have less of a chance"". It includes the French government's decision to opt for the requirement, even if she regrets this solution. The WHO has classified to 2019 the""hesitation vaccine"" as one of the 10 threats on the global health, the number of reported cases has jumped by 170,000 in 2017 to 307 000 in 2018. To explain this increase, Françoise Salvadori recalls that the measles always spreads in waves, taking advantage of the places where vaccination coverage is lowest. This is the case in Brazil, where the arrival of Venezuelans fleeing their country has been flying off the digits from 0 infected person to more than 10 000 in a year. But it is Ukraine which arrives at the head of the higher contamination according to Unicef, with 30 000 additional cases in 2018, against less than 5,000 in 2017. The shortages and shortcomings of the health infrastructure, as well as the atmosphere of distrust of vaccines are in question. To curb this phenomenon, the health authorities are reminders of campaigns of communication that measles still caused 110 000 deaths in the world in 2017. Always with the same recommendation : to reach a vaccination coverage of 95 %.",22,"france"

"2807","The resurgence of measles is worrying the health authorities. In France, as in many other countries, due to inadequate immunization coverage, in particular due to the distrust of the MMR vaccine, accused in 1998 by researcher Andrew Wakefield cause autism. Despite numerous epidemiological studies showing the opposite for the past 20 years, a general consensus in the scientific community and the scientific fraud demonstrated by the ""researcher"", the general public remains divided on the issue. For example, in France, since 1 January 2019, 633 cases of measles have been reported on Public Health in France, of which 193 (30%) hospitals (10 in the icu), 50 (8%) complicated pneumonia, 1 death (encephalitis). ""92% of the cases have occurred in patients with non-or poorly vaccinated"". What is the measles ? Measles is an infectious disease of viral origin, eruptive and very contagious, which is spread primarily by air : for example, when a sick person who is contagious coughs, he sends in the air droplets of saliva infected with virus. It is also possible to get measles after contact with a surface contaminated by nasopharyngeal secretions. Measles is caused by a virus of the family paramyxovirus, which enters the body through the respiratory system and lodge in the immune cells of the lung to multiply. These immune cells will then move to the lymph nodes and spread infection throughout the body. Contrary to what many people think, it affects more frequently children before the age of one year, but also adults who are not vaccinated. The signs that should alert to The signs of measles are typical and follows a specific timeline in relation to the development of the virus in the body. First of all, there is a period of incubation of the virus 10 to 12 days during which no sign appears. It is a mute period during which the virus multiplies. Then the first signs occur during the phase of invasion. It lasts 3 to 4 days during which the patient is tired, has a fever, a dry cough, red eyes and a runny nose. Children may often complain of a tummy ache. We also observe small white spots on the mucous membrane of the cheeks, ""it is the sign of Köplik"". The distinctive rash happens in a brutal way on the 15 th day after the contagion. It begins behind the ears and down quickly on the face and trunk and then on the whole body. The buttons are pink patches swollen irregular, separated by intervals of healthy skin. They do not itch and usually go away in 5 to 6 days. During this phase, the fever persists. The fatigue and cough may persist beyond 15 days. Note that it is best to call his doctor in case of doubt, rather than go to his office directly, so as not to contaminate other patients. When should you seek emergency ? When it occurs in infants, in persons with fragile or whose immune defenses are weakened, measles may be complicated and require hospitalization. Any persistent fever after 15 days with a cough may be the sign of a superinfection by bacteria to treat with antibiotics. If the patient has difficulty breathing, there may be a severe infection of the lung, ""a lung disease"". In addition, any neurological signs such as loss of consciousness, muscle weakness, or seizures should be promptly consult to the emergency room because there is a risk of infection to the brain. These complications can lead to pulmonary sequelae and neurological to life, and even death.",22,"france"
"2808","Eliminating measles in the world. This is the hope that gives a study on the transmission of the disease in China, according to its own authors, researchers at the Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health (Usa). The results of their work are published in the journal PLOS. Measles remains the leading cause of death among children in the world. Its elimination is particularly difficult in China, where the disease is endemic. Epidemics of measles each year ""Then that since 2008, China announced a vaccine coverage of more than 95% set by the world health Organization for the elimination of measles, the disease continues to cause every year by large epidemics, for reasons that remain undetermined,"" said Wan Yang, lead author of the study. The researchers of the study analyzed the epidemiological and demographic data of three key sites in China: Beijing, Guangzhou and Shandong province, between 1951 and 2004. For this, they have created their own system of study, which takes account of the complex demography and changing population, the age of mass vaccination. The attractive towns, nests for the disease, According to Yang, the major chinese cities that attract migrants are, in part, responsible for the endemic transmission of measles. Thus in 2010, 36% of the population of Beijing was composed of migrants from the provinces, of which 8.5% of Shandong, a region in the economic development moderate. ""As a result of economic development is uneven, more than a hundred million workers in China migrate towards the large cities. This essential difference indicates a possible ongoing transmission of measles in large cities, due to the massive population of migrant workers in China"", explains the lead author of the study. Thus, the migrants would be still today a vulnerable population. Wan Yang believes that the catch-up vaccination of these populations would be a good way to control the epidemic in large cities. In addition, researchers have found differences related to the climate between the three sites. For example, the heating indoors when the weather is cold, can promote the risk of infection.

"2811","Measles is progressing in France, and this alarm health agencies. According to Public Health France, the first quarter of 2017 has been marked by a strong resurgence of the disease. The agency does not preclude the emergence of a larger outbreak in the territory, in the manner of that experienced by Romania (about 3500 cases, including 17 deaths to date), and several European countries. From January 1 to march 31, 2017, 134 cases have been reported in France, three times more than the number of cases reported in 2016 on the same period. According to Public Health France, these figures are related to an outbreak in Lorraine (60 cases reported at the time of the analysis). 10 deaths, Two cases of encephalitis and 15 pneumopathies graves have been identified since the beginning of the year. The virus circulation remains active in several departments. From 1 January 2008 to 31 December 2016, which is in 9 years, more than 24 000 cases of measles were reported in France (of which nearly 15 000 cases in 2011 alone). Nearly 1500 cases have presented a pneumopathy serious, 34, a neurological complication (31 encephalitis, 1 myelitis, 2 Guillain-Barré syndrome), and 10 have died. The number of cases has sharply decreased in 2012, and then remained stable in 2013 and 2014 before starting to increase again in 2015, because of a major outbreak in Alsace (230 cases). In 2016, 79 cases have been reported, testifying to a movement less of the measles virus compared to previous years. More than ever, to avoid a resurgence of the disease, it is imperative that the immunization status of any person who is at least 12 months and born after 1980 is verified and updated with 2 doses of trivalent vaccine, insists Public Health France. 90 % of children vaccinated In fact, only vaccination can prevent this disease viral. However, the recommended vaccine as soon as a year, and in adults born after 1980, is inadequately administered in France. According to the latest estimates from the Institut de veille sanitaire, nearly 90 % of children born in 2013 have received the first dose of the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine, but only 66 % have received the second dose. In children of school age of kindergarten, 8 in 10 have benefited from a regimen complete. However, the vaccine is particularly important when the child is in a community because it can infect children who are too young to be vaccinated (before 1 year), more vulnerable to the disease. The Sickness Insurance reimburses 100 % the two doses of the vaccine up to 18 years. Mistakenly regarded as a benign disease, measles can result, in particular in infants and adults, of severe complications (pneumonia, encephalitis...). Measles is manifested by a high fever, before a rash, and is accompanied by nasopharyngitis or conjunctivitis. Highly contagious, measles can be transmitted before the appearance of the buttons. By coughing, sneezing, hands or objects contaminated by the virus. A patient can infect 15 to 20 people. This topic interests you ? Come in and discuss it on our forum !

"2839","UNICEF today warned that the cases of measles in the world increased significantly and at an alarming rate, with, in particular, 10 countries alone representing more than 74% of the increase and several others declared until then to be free of measles. Globally, 98 countries have reported an increase in measles cases in 2018 compared to the year 2017, which hinders the progress made in the fight of this disease which may be preventable, but potentially deadly. Save the children of tomorrow The Ukraine, the Philippines, and Brazil have experienced the greatest increase occurring between the year 2017 and 2018. In Ukraine, 35 120 cases of measles have been reported in 2018 and according to the government, 24 042 more people have been contaminated during the first two months of 2019. In the Philippines, since the beginning of the year, 12 736 cases of measles, of which 203 fatalities were recorded, compared to 15 599 for the year 2018 as a whole. ""This is a wake-up alarm. We have a vaccine that is safe, inexpensive and effective against a highly contagious disease – a vaccine which has already saved millions of lives every year for the last two decades, "" said Henrietta Fore, director general of UNICEF. ""These cases are not products in a day. The serious epidemics that we see today have occurred and begun in the year 2018, the lack of action today will have disastrous consequences on the children of tomorrow. ""Measles is a contagious disease, more than tuberculosis, Ebola, or the flu. The virus can be contracted by a person in less than two hours after having been infected by a person present in the same room. The virus spreads through the air and infects the respiratory tract, resulting in potentially the death of malnourished children, and babies too young to be vaccinated. Once infected, no specific treatment exists to treat measles, the vaccine is a vital tool for children. In response to these epidemics, UNICEF and its partners are helping governments to achieve emergency of millions of children around the world. For example : In Ukraine, UNICEF has provided ongoing support to accelerate routine immunization in the country and combat the resistance to it. UNICEF has also deployed additional efforts to stop the outbreak in 2017 and which claimed the lives of 30 people. In February, the ministry of Health with support of UNICEF, has launched a vaccination campaign in the schools and the clinics of the Lviv region, in western Ukraine, where the negative attitudes toward vaccination and vaccine shortages have led to a decline in vaccination rates In February, the ministry of Health with support of UNICEF, has launched a vaccination campaign in the schools and the clinics of the Lviv region, in the west of Ukraine, where the negative attitudes toward vaccination and vaccine shortages have led to a decline in vaccination rates in The Philippines, the government, with the support of UNICEF and its partners will launch a campaign to vaccinate 9 million children against measles in 17 regions. By using social networks, they hope to be able to touch the parents as well as professionals of health. By using social networks, they hope to be able to touch the parents as well as professionals of health. In Brazil, from August to September 2018, the government has conducted a campaign fighting against polio and measles, targeting more than 11 million children under the age of 5 years. UNICEF is encouraging the population to get vaccinated and shape of the healthcare providers working in reception centres for migrants Venezuelans. UNICEF has included the vaccine for measles in the municipal program, which covers 1924 to municipalities. In Yemen, where years of conflict have resulted in an epidemic, the local authorities, with the support of UNICEF, WHO and GAVI has vaccinated more than 11.5 million children during the month of February. In Madagascar, from 3 September to 21 February, 76 871 persons have been contaminated by measles and 928 have died, the majority of whom were children. In January, the government with the support of UNICEF and its partners, will launch an immunization campaign against measles targeting 114 districts. More than 2 million children have already been immunized in 25 districts. In February, 1.4 million children have been vaccinated, and 3.9 million more will be in march. The real epidemic : the misinformation and the distrust of The poverty of the health infrastructure, conflict, low community awareness, the complacency and reluctance in the face of the vaccines have led to these epidemics in the developed and developing countries. For example, in the United States, the number of cases of measles increased sixfold between 2017 and 2018. More recently, the United States has experienced outbreaks in New York and Washington. ""Almost all of these cases of measles are preventable, and despite this, children continue to be contaminated, even in places where there are simply no excuses,"" said Henrietta Fore. ""Measles is the disease, but, too often, the real epidemic is that of misinformation, distrust, and complacency. We must do more to inform all parents to help us vaccinate all the children.

Mistakenly regarded as a benign disease, measles can cause serious impairment of the health or even death. Beyond these complications, measles is a highly contagious virus that is transmitted by the oral route (coughing, sneezing). ""If we compare one case of measles can infect 16 to 18 people, a case of the disease Ebola can touch one or two people,"" says the head of the CVAGS. Why the Haute-Garonne is-t-it at the head of the departments most affected ? ""The reasons are many but according to me, there are two factors, the density of the department particularly around the conurbation of toulouse and the dynamism of the virus,"" analysis Christophe Garro. The LRA states that there is no treatment for measles, only vaccination is effective protection. ""In 1980, before widespread vaccination, an estimated 2.6 million per year the number of measles deaths in the world"", details the internet site immunization-info-service. To do this, the ARS recommends that the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) at the age of one year, but also in adults born after 1980. According to Michel Combier, president of the syndicate of doctors in the Haute-Garonne, it is precisely this vaccination, which poses a problem : ""the parents do not want to vaccinate their children, while many studies evoke the dangers of non-vaccination against measles. Efforts have been released"". It provides, moreover, a statement more than bad in the department regarding the vaccination. ""We dropped the guard, we are not immune to seeing old diseases return as polio even if it should not be alarmed,"" says the specialist. Agnes Buzyn, minister of Health announced in June consider whether to make 11 mandatory vaccinations against three today, among the list, that of the measles. ""With these new guidelines we will be able to correct the negative evolution in which we are, and correct it,"" insists Michel Combier. Since the month of August, the number of measles cases has declined significantly in the Haute-Garonne, but vigilance is required according to ARS, especially because of the return in class of the children and, therefore, situations that are conducive to the transmission of measles.

Measles is a serious illness and can cause death and other serious complications including infections of the lungs and brain, says Head of the HSE National Immunisation Office, Dr Lucy Jessop.  “Measles cases worldwide have tripled in the first three months of 2019 compared with the same period in 2018. Many European countries are reporting measles outbreaks with the highest number of outbreaks in France, Poland, Italy, the Czech Republic and Belgium. Thirty five measles related deaths have been reported in EU countries since 2018.”  Dr Jessop continued: “In Ireland we are experiencing our own outbreaks with 48 cases reported so far in the first 15 weeks of 2019. Measles is one of the most infectious diseases. One case of measles can infect up to 18 people. It is spread by coughing and sneezing, and by close contact with an infected individual. As we enter the summer season with families and individuals travelling on holidays, no person or country is beyond the reach of the measles virus.  “The only protection against measles is the MMR vaccine. Two doses of MMR vaccine (at 12 months and when your child is in Junior Infants) are required to be fully protected. While uptake in Ireland has remained steady at around 92%, we need to increase uptake rates to the target of 95% to make sure that measles does not circulate here. This is important for everybody but is particularly vital to protect young babies as they cannot receive the MMR vaccine until they are 12 months old. They are vulnerable to complications, including death if they are exposed to measles infection.  “Vaccines saves lives and protect against serious illness. Due to good vaccine uptake, we have thankfully not seen outbreaks of other infectious diseases in Ireland that we witnessed in the past but we must not let complacency creep in. We must remember vaccines are a simple, effective and safe way to save lives and prevent serious illness”, said Dr Jessop.

This condition, which requires to have demonstrated interruption of endemic transmission for at least 36 months, they had it at the end of last year to 35 of the region's countries (Spain among them), two less than a year before. Two countries have interrupted the endemic transmission of 12 to 35 months, while the rest remain or have been restored. “The reinstatement of the transmission of measles is worrying. If you are not reaching and maintaining high immunization coverage in every community, children and adults will suffer needlessly and some will die”, said in a statement the president of that commission, Günter Pfaff. The provisional data of 2019 recorded 37 deaths from measles, half of that was in the entire previous year, according to the WHO regional office, with headquarters in Copenhagen. In the case of rubella, 39 countries had eliminated the disease by the end of last year (Spain included), two more in 2018. The director of the regional office of the WHO, Zsuzsanna Jakab, stressed the “great efforts” made to move towards the elimination of measles, but warned that the current outbreaks demonstrate the need to encourage more measures. “Activating the emergency response, the WHO has increased the focus on measles elimination and update your action. It is the time to tackle health systems, determinants and societal challenges that could have allowed this deadly virus to persist in the region”, said Jakab",22,"spain"

But Jilly believes that if the older children around Alba had all been vaccinated at 13 months, her daughter would not have caught the disease.  She took to Facebook to urge other parents to vaccinate their children, sharing shocking pictures of Alba in bed at Chelsea West Hospital, in London, covered in a red rash and with her eyes swollen shut.  ‘Posting these heartbreaking images of our beautiful baby girl who contracted MEASLES is extremely difficult,’ she wrote. ‘We are still in hospital eight days after being admitted.’  ‘Measles is not “just a rash,”’ she continued. ‘It can cause blindness, encephalitis and pneumonia.  ‘We need to do more people. Get your children vaccinated. The MMR does not cause life-threatening issues like measles does. Your babies might feel under the weather for a day or so but believe me you’d accept that over what we have been through.’  Jilly went on to describe her heartbreaking experience in more detail: ‘It has been absolutely horrific watching our daughter fight this with her eyes swollen shut for four days.  ‘She has been in the dark, scared with a high fever that lasted for over two weeks.

At the same time, unknown remains the number of Greeks who were born after 1970 and have taken a dose -or and no - the vaccine for measles!

In addition, according to the latest epidemiological report from the CDC, the number of cases has climbed to 196. Declared within the space of a week, 30 new cases of measles in children and adults.

""Don't get complacent, be vigilant and apply the instructions, which gives us the National Committee on Vaccination, based on the changing epidemiological map of measles in our country and in Europe"", said the minister of Health. As pointed out, it is a positive fact that at this time has developed greater sensitivity to public opinion about the benefits of vaccination. On the outbreak of the disease in other countries, such as Italy and Romania where there have been recorded thousands of cases, scientists believe that it is largely due to the influence of the so-called <U+03B1><U+03BD><U+03C4><U+03B9><U+03B5>µß<U+03BF><U+03BB><U+03B9><U+03B1><U+03C3><U+03C4><U+03B9><U+03BA><U+03BF><U+03CD> movement in the population of these countries, a questioning of the value of vaccination.

In this context, he explained that the ministry of Health has initiated targeted interventions on specific vulnerable groups of the population where the observed outbreaks, as well as in these, the percentage of vaccination coverage is very low. ""From the so far reported cases, approximately 80% regarding childhood populations of Roma, children under 10 years of age. We have done with the mobile team of the CDC over 1,500 vaccines in Roma camps in the Basin, and there is a program to extend these activities and the camps in the rest of the mainland in October"", said the minister, stressing that it is ""very active intervention, because it is at the core of the spread of the disease in the country"". Mr. Blonde pointed out that so far there has been no outbreak in a refugee camp, ""because right from the beginning of 2016, when it was still open to the Eidomeni, it was preceded by a very systematic effort to inoculate the children's refugee population in camps throughout the country"". In terms of the guidelines given by the National Committee on Vaccination for the vaccination of the population for the prevention of measles mr Blond explained: - In children the first dose of the vaccine of measles is moved earlier, from the age of 15 months, it's 12 months. In a shorter time than originally foreseen as possible and the second dose, i.e. in the quarter from the first dose. - In adults born after 1970 and have not been diagnosed to have natural immunity provided in their environment have display cases, or work with them brings you into contact with people who may be <U+03B5><U+03C0><U+03AF><U+03BD><U+03BF><U+03C3><U+03BF><U+03C2>, it is recommended to check if they have been vaccinated and if they have not done and the two doses, and do an additional dose. - The uninsured can prescribe the vaccines for free, using a special form in the system of the prescription only with the use of SOCIAL security numbers. ""The uninsured citizens, here and about a year and a half, with the law 4368/2016 have equal treatment and equal care in the public health system, such as insured citizens.

It is more than 112.000 infections were in 170 countries reported. A year earlier it had been almost 28,000 cases in 163 countries. The highly contagious and sometimes dangerous disease is on the rise again. In the rich countries, the spread of the measles goes back mainly to an increasing Impfskepsis. In poor areas of the world, many people have no access to the measles vaccination, the WHO defendant. The children disease is extremely contagious and can lead in some years cases even later to potentially deadly brain inflammation. The epidemic in the island nation off the Southeast coast of Africa is the latest and probably the most dramatic example of what the world health organization (WHO) announced a disturbing return of preventable diseases. In the island state of Madagascar, a measles epidemic raging for months. More than 1,200 deaths have been counted so far. With around 120,000 of disease since September of last year the outbreak is in the island state is currently one of the largest in the viral disease in the world. The authorities in Madagascar, one of the 30 poorest countries in the world, are unable to cope with the measles outbreak. ""The epidemic is spreading, unfortunately, is always more,"" said WHO epidemiologist Dossou Vincent Sodjinou. Almost all parts of the country are affected accordingly. The epidemic also ask why so many victims because about half of all children suffer from malnutrition and a weakened immune system have. The Virus had in Madagascar, an easy game, because for years, only around half of all children were vaccinated. This was not Impfgegnern, but the fact that the state of the means for awareness - raising and vaccination campaigns are missing. WHO wants to leave the country with 26 million inhabitants, is now about 7.2 million children vaccinated. In the world, especially poorer countries, measles affected.

Measles, characterized by eruption of red spots on the skin, remains a potentially fatal disease. It is caused by a virus that spreads very easily by direct contact or in the air. Before the arrival of the vaccines in the 1970s, she was a killer in the world, 7 to 8 million children per year. The measles epidemic in the DRC has attracted much less attention than the Ebola epidemic that is raging in the east of the country since August 2018, and has made some 2.200 dead. Ian Norton, of the medical Unit of emergency of the WHO, said that the specialized agency of the united nations had begun to form some teams of Ebola in the DRC so that they also deal with the cases of measles. But the efforts of the medical teams to come to the end of the two epidemics are hampered by the violence in the East. In particular, WHO had to remove 49 agents involved in the fight against the Ebola virus in the city of Beni (is) because of the insecurity. Since the beginning of the month, 99 civilians were killed by armed groups in Beni territory, according to the study Group of the Congo (GEC) of the university of New York. ""The response to Ebola has been hampered by insecurity,"" said Mr. Norton. ""You can say the same thing (...) for the measles, not only in Beni, but in the whole country."" Mr. Norton said that the WHO was ""extremely concerned"" by the growing insecurity, stressing that she had ""a disastrous impact on the management of the disease"".",21,"belgium"

"4086","Red skin patches, cough and fever: measles are a highly contagious infectious disease that affects mainly children under five years of age, but unvaccinated adults and lead to death. Worldwide, the number of cases in the year 2017, according to an estimate by the world health organization (WHO) at 6.7 million. Around 110,000 people - most of them children under five years of age - came, therefore, even killed. With vaccination, the disease would be curbed easily. However, due to wars, poverty and an increasing Impfskepsis it comes in some cases to outbreaks. The WHO Figures are based on a model calculation that Only a fraction of the measles cases reported officially, therefore, the Organisation expects the Figures. But also in the output data, it shows that Despite all the efforts of the infectious disease occurs in two years more. 2016, and were reported according to the WHO, yet well-130.000 cases, it was 2017 already more than 170,000. For 2018, the organization until the beginning of April 326.045 not registered confirmed cases, where the count is not yet quite complete - some of the countries have not reported any Numbers. Measles cases in Europe tripled in order to double the number of measles cases, according to preliminary findings of 2018, almost, in Europe, even tripled. Also in the New York city borough of Brooklyn, a measles was declared-state of emergency. The WHO had set out originally, the goal of measles by 2020, to eradicate. However, the increasing outbreaks bring the progress of the previous years in danger. How could it come to this? A strong increase in the Ukraine Behind the strong increase in Europe, the measles outbreak is in the Ukraine. For the past ten years, a lot of get too few children in the country, the usual routine vaccination. This has to do with the armed conflict in the East of the country. On the other hand you must look into the year 2008: at the Time, 17 died in the Ukraine-Year-old, a day after he had received the measles vaccine. Although the cause of death was not the vaccine led to a significant drop in the vaccination Coverage, such as the journal ""Science"" reported. Immunization Coverage improved, therefore, in the meantime, slowly, but in 2016 due to a lack of ordered doses of the vaccine significantly. The WHO is working with the rule-of-thumb: Are vaccinated 95% of children, are not able to spread infectious diseases. In Ukraine, the Coverage is for years. In 2010, only 41 percent of six-year-olds have received the recommended second measles vaccination (MCV2). In 2016, there were only 31 per cent - one of the lowest in the world. In 2018, it arrived in the Ukraine to a veritable Explosion of measles cases. According to the WHO, there were more than 53,000 cases, according to the government, 16 were fatal. The Figures in relation to the number of inhabitants, was in the Ukraine last year the country with the most Measles worldwide, followed by Serbia, Albania and Georgia. Outside of Europe, the measles rate in Madagascar, Yemen and Liberia was particularly high. Measles cases in 2018 in a global comparison, Often lead to wars and extreme poverty to a low vaccination Coverage. In other cases, an increasing Impfskepsis is the cause. Opponents fear the side effects such as inflammation of the brain. Serious side effects after vaccination, according to research, extremely rare. In addition, they are not clearly as a result of the vaccination associate. Also an alleged connection with autism were able to refute studies. Lack of Impfbereitschaft as the biggest health risk, The WHO, the lack of Impfbereitschaft currently known as one of the biggest health risks in the world. Vaccination would annually prevent two to three million deaths. So died in the Philippines at the beginning of the year within seven weeks, more than 130 people to measles. About 40 percent of the goods Concerned according to the Ministry of health, children between one and four years. According to the Ministry, a scandal of the vaccine has shaken the confidence of the population: A cure for Dengue fever had been used between 2016 and 2017, the wrong way and with three deaths associated. As a result many parents had their children generally do not vaccinate, they say. Before the scandal, yet 80 percent of the six-year-old had, after all, get the MCV2 dose. Worldwide, vaccination Coverage for the first measles vaccination (MCV1) was in 2017, 85 per cent. For the second vaccination, there were only 67 percent. The vaccine is in some regions of the world, mostly as MMR-drug Combination administered to the immunized against Mumps and rubella. The WHO had set for 2015, the goal is to eliminate measles and rubella. At least in the case of rubella the Numbers are on the decline. The Standing Committee on vaccination at the Robert Koch-Institute (RKI) recommends that the first MMR vaccination at the age of 11 to 14 months and the second vaccination at the age of 15 to 23 months. According to the RKI, the second vaccination reduced significantly the proportion of children who remained after the first vaccination of susceptible to measles that affects approximately ten percent of the once-Vaccinated. In Germany, for example, 97 percent of the five have received official information, - to six-year-old children, the first MMR vaccination, according to the RKI needed a second vaccination, after all, still 93 percent. But: The data are taken primarily from the school entrance examinations of the public health offices. The second vaccination have received only 93 percent of those children who actually managed to submit a certificate of vaccination. Therefore, the actual proportion is when the second vaccination is likely to significantly - estimated to have up to 86 percent. In this country it always comes back to outbreaks. The number of cases has recently declined again. In 2017 have been confirmed around 900 measles cases, there were 2018 to about 500. Strong measles decline in Africa, Although there is 40 years of an effective vaccine spreading the measles is still around the world.

Most of the dead were according to the WHO, children up to the age of 14 years. Nevertheless, it could be reported in the fight against measles in the past few decades, with great success. In particular, in Africa, where measles in the eighties raged still by far the strongest, is gone, the number of cases decreased significantly. While some parents want to leave in rich, industrialised countries don't vaccinate their children because of false information, confuse, leave many parents in developing their children vaccinated. However, often they are not able to afford the life-saving vaccine, or there is not enough of it.",21,"germany"

Then appear white spots inside the mouth. Complications are relatively rare, and are mainly due to super-infections from bacterial. The infection occurs through nasal secretions, and pharyngeal, probably by air through respiratory droplets that spread in the air when a sick person coughs or sneezes. There is no specific treatment. You can treat the symptoms (symptomatic therapy) but not the cause: acetaminophen to reduce fever, syrup to calm the cough, drops for the eyes.

"6561","In the year 2000, thanks to the spread carpet of vaccination, measles had virtually disappeared from the United States. These days, however, there is the state of emergency due to an outbreak of measles: the most affected are the State of Washington, the city of New York, New Jersey, Oregon, and Hawaii. In fact, today, already counts three hundred and fifty cases, but the number is growing almost daily. The measles virus is one of the most easily transmitted diseases, contact a subject hit in the air with coughing, sneezing, or breathing in close. For the first few days there are no symptoms, then the disabled lead normal lives, go round, school, in restaurants, in church, in shopping malls, unknowingly contaminating about ten other people, which in turn can contaminate other ten or more. The risk of infection lasts for more than twenty days. On average, one or two children in a thousand die. Is that the beginning of this epidemic is attributable to an international traveler who arrived in Clark County, which includes the city of Seattle. Needless to say, that, unfortunately, the crucial factor of the epidemic is the lack of vaccination in a growing number of children. Even in the United States, in fact, has spread to the foolish trend to refuse vaccinations. Medical impostors on the internet that offer families affected certificates of exemption from the payment of an amount which varies from eighty to three hundred dollars. Six thousand children are not vaccinated have already been forcibly expelled from several schools. Last Wednesday, the high commissioners of public Health of the California, New York and Washington, have issued an appeal to the vaccination, which appears to have had the beneficial effect of 14 thousand new vaccinations. The vaccine called MMR (measles, mumps and rubella, that is, measles, mumps, and rubella) is effective at 93 per cent. A second dose ensures 97 percent. The national average for vaccinations is high, about 96 percent, but there are islands of waste in which arrives at just 60 percent. The only exemption is clinically justified, is when the child is under chemotherapy. No other condition justifies it. Dr. Howard Zucker, the High commissioner for the public Health of the state of New York, has defined families that refuse to vaccinate their children as culpably imperfect (lackadaisical). You can just tell them “we warned you”. Unfortunately, the vaccination is mandatory only in California, Mississippi, and West Virginia. In the other 47 states parents can refuse, upon presentation of a medical certificate, but in 18 of these (Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Idaho, Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Texas, Utah, Wisconsin, and Vermont) may refuse for personal reasons, moral or religious. Yvonne Maldonado, president of the American Academy of Pediatrics and professor of Pediatrics at Stanford University, has suggested that this kind of exemptions are abolished. The pathetic and senseless justifications, well, we know, bandied about in Italy: the state must not take possession of our bodies, the parents should decide, not the state or the medical profession. It lends faith to news unreliable on the deleterious consequences of vaccines, you want to save the baby, the slightest pain of the needle. Unfortunately this is a symptom of a disturbing trend: the disaffection for science. While in the United States, researchers and institutions that provide research funds are trying to recover a lot of damage to a closure of the government lasted more than a month, for bizza to Trump the useless wall with Mexico, and the researchers of Great Britain raggricciano seeing deglaze the european contributions and expecting a brain drain for the silly Brexit, many of us are horrified for this wave view anti-scientific. Part of the disaffection with the professionalism, the dreaded multinationals, and a demonization of the pharmaceutical industry, which, of course, has its faults, but that has created drugs more and more effective and targeted. We do not realize it, but all of us are surrounded by family, friends, colleagues that fifty or sixty years ago would have died, but today are not, thanks to the new drugs now available. We try not to forget it.",21,"italy"

Ovidiu Adam, an explanation for the fact that the rate of vaccination is so low in Romania and the number of cases of measles is not so great. ""We are now doing an analysis of the results, not causality. We are only looking at the results of the catastrophic nevaccinării. Being one of the most developed in the region (I.d. The west), people have more access to information, social media, and there is spread of all sorts of theories as to the evil which makes the vaccine. The lowest rate of vaccination is on the West side. The fellow pediatricians and infectious disease doctors claim that I have ended up somewhere around 65%, which is more than 30 percent below the minimum needed to contain the epidemic, and now the plague is turned on,"" said the director of the Children's Hospital ""Louis Turcanu"" from Timisoara. According to his doctor, Ovidiu Adam, another explanation for the fact that the number of reported cases of measles in the Timis county is so big, it's the quality of the medical care act in los angeles. ""In the Timis county, is the largest number of deaths in Timisoara hospitals from the elite, and all of the cases in the region, including the Mehedinti county, or Wisconsin, they come to us. You don't die from measles, they die from complications caused by measles. The cases are cumulated, and then the mortality is still high down here,” said the doctor, Ovid, Adam. Sorin Grindeanu, ""You shall not escape out of the area of the border,"" and Asked him, out of the meeting with the doctors, what are the main causes of the outbreak of measles in the Banat region, the prime minister Sorin Grindeanu, he avoided to give an answer. ""The cases are different. Some of them I know, others I don't. I like to turn off the ame, which will not go out through the night. For two or three reasons would be a lower rate of vaccination in an urban, border area, you don't get rid of this thing,and the fact that, in the Timis county people coming in from all over the region. Here you are trying to handle cases from all over the region, and this has led to an increase in the number of deaths,” said Grindeanu.",21,"romania"

"10614","Outbreaks of measles continue to expand throughout the world with children as main victims. The majority of the 140,000 people who were killed in 2018 by that infectious disease were under five years of age, according to the latest data of the World Health Organization (WHO) Centre for the Control and Prevention of Infectious Diseases. The crisis of the measles meets its third year leaving an alarming rate. In 2018, the detected cases doubled to 2017 and, although no data total on 2019, the reports are not optimistic because, until mid-November, had been posted 413.000 cases, compared to the 353.236 registered around 2018. The lack of vaccination is largely responsible for these figures. In fact, this week Samoa has launched a campaign of vaccination for the entire population after more than 4,000 people have been infected with hiv since the onset of the outbreak in the country in the month of October and have killed 62 people. Especially striking is another fact, is that five countries account for 45% of the total cases of measles worldwide in 2018. Are the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Liberia, Madagascar, Somalia, and Ukraine. In the first of these, the measles has caused more deaths than ebola and the situation is critical. So far this year have tripled cases of infection with regard to 2018 with nearly 250,000 people affected and around 5,000 deaths. In Liberia, this has been reduced slightly cases of measles after he reached the highest rate in 2018 with nearly 4,000 possible cases and 16 deaths due to low vaccination. The case of Madagascar is even worse, with 244.607 cases from August 2018 till November 2019 and 1080 deaths, the vast majority of children under the age of 14 years. In Somalia, for its part, measles has become one of the leading causes of death in children, although thanks to vaccination campaigns have managed to reduce the spread so far this year, with 3.616 cases recorded in November 2019. In Ukraine, 41 people have died since the start of the outbreak in 2017, which has affected more than 115,000 people, and that to this day does not improve the data.

And it is that, up until now, the total annual highest cases of measles between 2010 and 2017 was 23.927 last year, and the lowest was 5.273 in 2016. The monthly reports of the countries also indicate that at least 37 people have died due to measles so far this year. “After the number of cases is the lowest of the decade in 2016, we are seeing a dramatic increase in infections and outbreaks. We call on all countries to immediately deploy measures appropriate to the context to stop the spread of this disease. Good health for all begins with the immunization, and while not the removal of this disease we are not abiding by our commitments to Sustainable Development Goals,” says dr Zsuzsanna Jakab, WHO's regional director for Europe. Seven countries of the European Region of the WHO have suffered at least 1,000 infections in children and adults this year, namely France, Georgia, germany, Greece, Italy, Russia, Serbia and Ukraine. This last state has been the most affected, with more than 23,000 people infected, which represents more than half of the regional total. Reported measles-related deaths in all these countries, and Serbia reported the highest number of deaths. According to the latest evaluation of the European Commission Check for Regional Elimination of Measles and Rubella (RVC, for its acronym in English), published on Monday, 43 of the 53 member states of the Region have interrupted the propagation of endemic measles and 42 have managed to stop the rubella, according to reports from 2017. In view of these data, RVC has expressed “its concern about the surveillance, inappropriate disease and low immunization coverage in some countries.” It has also come to the conclusion that the chains of measles transmission continued for more than 12 months in some countries that had interrupted the spread of endemic disease, returning to its state endemic. “This backward part proves that every person who is not immune is still vulnerable no matter where you live, and each country must continue to pressure to increase the coverage and close the gaps immune, even after achieving the state interrupted or eliminated,” said dr. Nedret Emiroglu, director, Division of Health Emergencies and Communicable Diseases of the WHO Regional Office for Europe. MEASLES CAN BE STOPPED, The measles virus is exceptionally contagious and is easily spread among susceptible individuals. To prevent outbreaks, according to details the WHO, you need at least 95 per cent coverage of immunization with 2 doses of measles-containing vaccine in each country and each year, as well as efforts to reach children, adolescents, and adults who missed routine vaccination in the past. While the coverage of immunization with 2 doses of vaccine increased from 88 percent of the eligible children in the Region in 2016 to 90 percent in 2017, there remain “large disparities” at the local level: some countries report over 95 percent of coverage and other below 70 per cent. “We must celebrate our achievements without losing sight of those who are still vulnerable and for whose protection requires our urgent attention and permanent. We can stop this deadly disease, but we can't succeed unless all do their part: to immunize their children, to themselves, their patients, their populations, and also to remind others that vaccination saves lives,” concludes dr.

Confirming the news on Twitter, a spokesperson for NHS tweeted: ‘There have been confirmed cases of measles in Leeds, Liverpool, Surrey, Manchester and Birmingham.’  To tackle the outbreak, parents are being urged to look out for the symptoms of the disease, which include cold-like symptoms – such as a runny nose, sneezing, and a cough – as well as red and sore eyes; high temperature; and small greyish-white spots on the inside of the cheeks.  Experts also urging parents to vaccinate their children, as it’s ‘highly effective and safe’ way to prevent them from getting the condition.  Dr Will Welfare, consultant in Health Protection with Public Health England, said: ‘Measles is a very infectious virus and can spread rapidly among communities, such as schools, if people have not been fully immunised.  ‘While most people who catch measles will recover completely within a couple of weeks, it’s important to remember measles can be a very serious illness that can leave permanent disability, and occasionally even kill.  Parents are being urged to vaccinate their children  ‘I would appeal to any parents who have not yet had their children vaccinated to get them protected as soon as possible through their GP.’  The condition, while unpleasant, usually passes after 7 days. However, it can also lead to potentially life-threatening complications in more serious cases, like infections of the lungs (pneumonia) and brain (encephalitis).

"5214","Kildare GP's have been alerted to possible cases of measles during July and August, following the confirmation of two cases in the Dublin area.  That’s according to Dr Brendan O’Shea of the Irish College of General Practitioners (ICGP) who said that there have already been 31 confirmed deaths from measles throughout Europe in 2018, “all of which would have been preventable through immunisation,” he explained.  Kildare GPs have been advised by the HSE to immunise all non-immune individuals up to 40 years of age. Speaking to the Leinster Leader, Dr O’Shea confirmed that a recent trend for people to avoid vaccinations was part of the problem.  “We respect all, and listen to everyone’s point of view,” he said, “but as clinicians the science is very black and white. The vaccine is overwhelmingly safe and the disease is not.”  He urged parents to watch out for children who are very irritable and miserable and who do not respond to paracetamol.  “The risk is quite small. It’s not like swine flu, but it’s important to take precautions. The concern we have is children getting acutely ill,” adding that there are several hundred GP’s in Kildare who are willing to help.  “The case for Measles, Mumps and Rubella immunisation is strong and clear,”' Dr O' Shea said. “Parents who have not had their children immunised with MMR should really rethink their decision in the light of ongoing new cases.  “Should they decide to revise their decision, their GPs/Practices Nurses will be very glad to see them to discuss it, and immunise.”",20,"ireland"

The HSE is providing FREE MMR vaccination clinics (no appointment needed) in Barrack View Primary Care Centre, Edward Street, Limerick on Thursdays March 22nd/29th, and April 5th/12th, 3-4pm.  As part of the outbreak control measures MMR is also being provided free through GPs.

"6571","Francesco Borgonovo on The Truth with a headline: In Bari no epidemic of measles. And the alleged untrice there was No vax. In the article the following appears: The issuer pugliese Telenorba, November 13, he reported, with great detail, the results of the internal investigation carried out by John XXIII. A study that has revealed some startling facts. Let us rebuild. It all starts on the 23rd of October, when the Ospedaletto di Bari comes a child of 8 years. It was suspected that the small had a not better identified ""infectious disease"", which is why they undergo a series of examinations. The diagnosis of measles is arrived on the 5th of November. According to the survey conducted by the John XIII with the supervision of the Asl of Bari, the baby was infected inside the hospital. Not only that, his parents are not, No vax. The girl lacked the protection against the measles, but had made the vaccine hexavalent chromium. The sources of Borgonovo are not linked, only cited, you have to cercarsele. The video to TeleNorba, it's here, but its source is the Journal of the south, which on 13 November did not give the same information as The Truth: The girl, the daughter of parents one night a group of no-vax, was sick with the measles: the hospital has only discovered on the 30th of October, three days after it is sent home. This is the case-the index from which it is born the chain of infection of Bari. The chain that cannot be broken, and that it involved three families. All related. All, obviously, anti-vaccines. I honestly just care if the girl was the daughter of novax or less, was not vaccinated as they were not vaccinated brother, and two other families, all of them, however, have contracted the measles after the girl. Is not in the least important if the family, as Borgonovo repeated several times, was the daughter of leaguers or 5 stars, but it is a fact that she and her family were not immune to the disease. You must not make it a matter of policy, but only correct information. On 8 infected and 4 were part of the same core, none of them had immunity against the measles, had all infections can be prevented. Borgonovo, in his article argues that the baby was infected inside the hospital, unfortunately, however, no source and I can't find anything that supports his claim. This does not mean that it is false, but it is important? No one can deny that even among the staff there may be subjects that are not vaccinated and they do not think of having to do it. As has already been explained multiple times on BUTAC, the problem is the poor quality health information that is made regarding. A lack of information which affects in equal measure all of the population, even those who work in contact with the sick, and should be more attentive to these issues. The only other site that seems to report the same things, the truth is that of the Order of Biologists (curiosity, yesterday, trying to get to the link several times my antivirus signaled me threat detected and neutralized, man, I understand, on sites that are filled with advertising, but the ONB receives money from its members, should not hold on its site third party script raggranellarne further – this is a problem of link corrupt, that they used to share the article on social). On the site of ONB tells us that half the press would be procured alarm. Because the numbers of registered cases are perfectly in line with a population like that of Bari, and the surrounding areas. But this means understanding a little of the information received: in fact, we should not keep account of the whole of the territorial area, but of the cases that have occurred, starting from the first episode of the certificate. Therefore, we should refer only to the people of pope John XXIII, who has been in contact with them. On that population, with 8 cases, you can begin to talk about the epidemic. As explained in The Journal of the south: In the meantime, you were sick even the little brother of 11 years of case-index and a cousin of two years, hospitalized on the 1st of November), and was infected with a baby of 11 months who was in the department for otitis. On the 6th of November, then it was the turn of the last child, a third cousin, 16-year-old still hospitalized. Children between them who have last names different (they are of the province), and none of them was vaccinated despite the numerous solicitations made by the Asl over the years. Three of the five children are still hospitalized, in conditions that do not give rise to concern. With regard to the three adults, a security guard 20 years service in the department for Infectious diseases of the Pediatric, a mother of 43, one of the two daughters had been admitted there, both vaccinated) and a woman of 37, you are at a hospital, grappling with the possible complications of measles. The laboratory of Epidemiology, directed by dr. Maria Chironna yesterday also confirmed the diagnosis of the last case (the mother), while for the woman 37 the epidemiological survey should have excluded the correlation with the Pediatric. It is clear that the girl, little brother, little cousin and baby of 11 months hospitalized in the same department are connected between them. As the mother of 43 years with a daughter (admitted to the hospital, and the security guard in service in the same department. All interconnected, all part of a shrinking population linked to a first infection. It has no sense to analyze the whole population of Bari and the surrounding area, is silly, is to not have caught the problem. On the pages of ONB, we also mention the case of Mongolia, bringing back the link to an article by Bellavite, but you do get misinformation there too. We already talked here about BUTAC of the epidemic of measles in Mongolia, explaining, with sources, of the reasons for its existence, even in the face of high rates of vaccinated: The laboratory results have shown that the virus is the same one that had hit the China, and it arrived import in Ulan Bator. The first to be affected are individuals without immunity to measles",20,"italy"
"6572","In Italy, the vaccination is compulsory, but only for children. In this step, the virus will be considered eradicated only in 2045. If you were involved, even the adults who have never contracted the measles, but have not even been vaccinated before, you might consider already defeated between 2030 and 2045. In Italy, the vaccination is compulsory, but only for children. In this step, the virus will be considered eradicated only in 2045. If you were involved, even the adults who have never contracted the measles, but have not even been vaccinated before, you might consider already defeated between 2030 and 2045. Only six days ago, the world health Organization warned in his latest report, that the measles is coming back in Europe. And he's doing it with a certain speed, because the 90 cases registered in 2019 corresponds to practically the double of those that have occurred in the last year. In Italy, then, it is some years that we are facing this emergency, caused mainly by the decline of vaccinations starting from 2012 onwards. And just for the measles vaccine, the results of a study born from the collaboration between the Bruno Kessler Foundation of Trento, Bocconi University, and Northeastern University in Boston show that we can defeat this virus more quickly, if the drug was administered to the parents and not only to children, as foreseen in the decree-law Lorenzin. In accordance with the law in force today, that is, ten required vaccinations, among which also the trivalent measles, mumps and rubella, the new students may not start school if you do not demonstrate that they had received. A measure that has faced a considerable increase of cases in 2017, but that will lead to the complete elimination of the disease only in 2045, as well as show the mathematical models used for the study. The researchers suggest instead of involving adults who have never contracted the virus. In this way, our Country could be considered free from the infection already between 2030 and 2040. In particular, you should turn to the mothers and fathers who have never been subjected to any vaccination, and have never even suffered from this disease. The idea is that proceeding with the immunization of the entire family and not just the child who must attend elementary school. Vaccinating also adults, measles would be eliminated at least 5 years before “The situation that we observe in Italy, characterized by a majority of the cases of measles among adults, is typical of developed countries – said Valentina Martian, researcher of the Kessler Foundation, and first author of the study – policies vaccinations current focus on children and adolescents, thus leaving a large part of the population that was not vaccinated in the past at risk of contracting the disease."" ""The vaccination of the parents seems to represent a solution is particularly promising, he added, Stefano Merler, who led the study, The adults represent a segment of the population notoriously difficult to reach with vaccination campaigns, but in this case it would need a specific strategy, from the moment that parents could be encouraged to get vaccinated along with their children.” On Ohga we have already spoken of the possibility that you may need to redo the vaccine against measles, but if you already know that you have not ever received this medication, then there are no doubts: it is the time to protect yourself and your children.

"6593","Rome, 26 apr. (AdnKronos Health) - Between 2010 and 2017 in the world, approximately 169 million children have not received the first dose of the measles vaccine (average of 21.1 million per year), and Italy is fifth in the 'top ten' rich Countries have less children to whom it was administered. And' what emerges from the new data released yesterday by Unicef, on the occasion of the world Week of immunization. According to the report of the United Nations Agency for children, at the global level in the first 3 months of 2019 were reported more than 110 thousand cases of measles, an increase of 300% compared to the same period of 2018. About 110 thousand people, many of them children - reported to the Unicef, in a note - died of measles in 2017, an increase of 22% compared to the previous year. Two doses of the measles vaccine is essential to protect children from the disease. However, due to lack of access, inadequate health care systems, the carelessness and, in some cases, the fear and the skepticism about vaccines, the global coverage of the first dose of the vaccine anti-measles in 2017 was 85%, and this figure remained relatively constant in the last decade, despite population growth. The global coverage for the second dose is much lower, equal to 67%. The Who - it has remembered the Agency - recommended threshold of 95% immunization coverage to reach the so-called immunity of the flock. According to the latest data, in high-income Countries the coverage is 94% for the first dose and 91%for the second. The United States is at the top of the list of the 10 rich Countries with the greatest number of children (over 2.5 million) who have not received the first dose of the vaccine between 2010 and 2017. Followed by France and the United Kingdom, with over 600 thousand and 500 thousand children not vaccinated in the same period. Italy is in fifth place with a well 435,000. In Countries with low and medium income, the situation is critical, warned the Unicef. In 2017, for example, Nigeria had the highest number of children under the age of 1 year who had not received the first dose of the vaccine, about 4 million, followed by India with 2.9 million, Pakistan and Indonesia with 1.2 million each, and Ethiopia with 1.1 million. And the levels of global coverage for the second dose of the measles vaccine are even more alarming. Of the 20 Countries with the largest number of children not vaccinated in 2017, 9 have not introduced the second dose. Twenty Countries in sub-saharan Africa have not introduced the second dose is necessary in the national program of vaccination, exposing more than 17 million infants a year at a much higher risk of measles during their childhood. The growth in the number of children not vaccinated, said the Agency, has created the conditions for outbreaks of measles, which today affect several Countries of the world. ""The ground for the outbreaks of measles we are seeing today was laid years ago,"" said Henrietta Fore, the director-general of Unicef - The measles virus, you will always find children that aren't vaccinated. If we want to seriously prevent the spread of this dangerous but preventable disease, we should vaccinate each and every child, both in the rich Countries than in poor ones"". ""Measles is still far too contagious,"" said still to the Fore. ""It is important to not only expand coverage, but also keep the rates of vaccination at the doses most suited to create an umbrella of immunity for all"".

The Italian Society of infectious and tropical diseases (Simit), therefore, has diffused some of the data relating to the measles, which, it is hoped, will serve as a warning against the dangers of non-compliance to the obligation of vaccination. In 2017 in Europe, measles has killed 30 people and affected 14.451, which is more than 300 percent more than the previous year, when were registered 4.643 cases. The countries where the epidemic has manifested itself most violently were Romania (5560) and Italy (5004).

The greatest number of deaths was registered in Romania, with 19 cases, and then to second place in Italy with 4 deaths on more than 5 thousand cases.

"6597","“You do not die of the vaccine,” the dry reply to Giulia Grillo ai no vax. Pull a continuous dance on the issue of vaccines on the part of the most fervent activists, no vax, the Minister of Health, Giulia Grillo, 5 Star Movement, not to silence these groups and their misinformation during a public meeting in the Abruzzo region. The case is relayed on all the media. “You do not die of vaccine”, Giulia Grillo hushes the no vax receivable at a public meeting in Chieti for the electoral campaign for the regional elections in Abruzzo, in support of the candidate of the Movement 5 Stars to the Presidency of the Region, Sara Marcozzi, the minister of Health, Giulia Grillo faced with some of the moms no vax. At the end of the press conference with Sara Marcozzi, which was held in the headquarters of the local Chamber of Commerce, the minister was approached by some of the moms who have expressed their concerns about vaccinations and their effects. From time to time, associations of the no-free-vax are continuing pressures on Giulia Grillo in order to abrogate the law Lorenzin on obligation of vaccination. In the program of the government of the 5 Star Movement is expected to the reform of the mandatory nature of vaccines, even with the hypothesis of the introduction of a “duty flexible“, but not at the expense of vaccine coverage, nor the protection of the population, especially in the pediatric age group. Some of its exponents the most radical, in fact, the 5 Star Movement has never been opposed to vaccines, even if some ambiguous or unclear may have made you think. Of course, there are the old show of Beppe Grillo, that in addition to attack the vaccines denied even that Hiv does cause Aids, espousing the conspiracy theories of the most extreme and dangerous. However, the recent guidelines of the Movement are quite clear, thanks also to the advice of experts on vaccines at the global level and the recent accession of the same Beppe Grillo to the Pact for Science, published on the website of the well-known virologist Roberto Burioni, which was signed by numerous personalities of the scientific world, politics and culture. The 5 Star Movement has always declared the contrary to the obligation of vaccination as introduced by the law Lorenzin 2017, and has promised to see him again, but not to create a wild west of vaccination, but to prevent the instruments of coercive measures vis-a-vis the parents and the rather to induce them to vaccination in a voluntary and conscious. A policy on which you can discuss, but not unlawful and that, however, does not exclude the obligation of vaccination itself if necessary, for excessive drop of the shell or of the occurrence of an epidemic. This has always been the line of the minister of Health, Giulia Grillo, who has been forced to reiterate on several occasions, but not the obligation, compelled to the act of vaccination, but yes to vaccines. A political line of the rest is also confirmed by the recent spot advertising in favor of vaccines with the sample of volleyball Ivan Zaytsev and astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti. Now, the public occasion to express a clear position in favour of the vaccines arriving for the minister Grillo from the public meeting in Abruzzo. Approached by mothers concerned about the effects of vaccinations, with a lot of exposed to denounce the danger, the Cricket, visibly spazientita, has responded to a mother in no uncertain terms: “I lady I know of children deaths from measles, ok? Children died from the vaccine, instead, I don't know, you know?“. “Don't let this misinformation, because people are dying for measles, people dies of meningitis, and dies for the vaccine“, said the minister. To her mother, who insisted on the negative effects of the vaccine, in speaking of the respiratory crisis of his son, Grillo replied: “A respiratory crisis resolves, a seizure resolves. Of meningitis, you can die, you saw him... of pneumonia from measles can die. Unfortunately, it is so”. “I have never said that we should not vaccinate children, and the one who says spread a fake news,“ he repeated for the umpteenth time, Giulia Grillo. The episode was told from The local newspaper “il Centro”, which has also published the video of the discussion between Giulia Grillo and the mother.

It's not better in Europe. According to the data of Who, in 48 Countries of the old continent in the first half of 2019 have been registered 89.994 cases of measles, including 37 deaths. That is to say, most of those recorded in the entire 2018, when the cases were 44.175. More: always in the opinion of the world health Organization, in four european Countries (United Kingdom, Greece, Albania and Czech Republic), the disease can no longer be considered ""eradicated"". ""The re-establishment of transmission of measles is worrying,"" said Günter Pfaff, president of the Commission, the european regional verification of measles and rubella. ""If we do not reach and do not support a high coverage of immunization in every community, children and adults will suffer so you don't need and some will die tragically"". And then there is Italy, where to the Who, measles is endemic. With 1.334 cases and one death in the first six months of 2019, Italy is square to the ninth place in the ranking of the european Countries most affected by the disease. In 2018, in Italy, the cases of measles had been 2.686 (with nine deaths) and ours was the fifth Country in the ranking. Worse still was the way in 2017, when the total was 4.828 cases. The improvement would be also due, claim the insiders, the decree Lorenzin. Launched in June 2017, has made mandatory a series of vaccinations (including measles), under penalty of exclusion of children from schools. And it is not a case if in Italy the coverage of measles increased from 87,26% of the 2016 to 93,22 per cent of 2018: nearly six percentage points. Yet it is not enough. According to the Who, to achieve ""the immunity of the flock"" needs to reach a threshold of 95 percent vaccination coverage. In this light, according to research conducted by the Fondazione Bruno Kessler of Trento, Bocconi University and from Northeastern University in Boston, if Italy continues with the current provisions on vaccination will not eliminate the measles before 2045. That's why researchers from the fondazione trentina recommend that also treat adults. ""Thanks to vaccination, the additional of the parents,"" said Stefano Merler, study coordinator, ""you would never be able to overcome the disease more quickly, and we may be able to eliminate measles in Italy between 2030 and 2040"". © Reproduction Reserved",20,"italy"

Navarro says that ""we are protected against measles by the community protection thanks to high vaccination rates, but this protection is lost if they go down"". In addition, remember that the increase of cases in countries such as France, Italy, Greece, and Romania is not new, since it began in mid-2017 and is caused, mainly, by the movements antivacunas.

Alvarez santiago / The Voice 12/01/2019 05:00 h More than 90 % of the population is not vaccinated contracts measles if in contact with a sick person. And is that it is one of the virus more contagious, as it can stay for hours in the environment and contaminate surfaces. Hence, vaccination against this disease is essential to prevent its spread. New York lives in these moments the measles outbreak largest in decades, and one of them, in a neighborhood of orthodox jews in Brooklyn, emerged after the trip to Israel of a non-vaccinated child who contracted there the disease. And is that in Israel the cases are already a problem for months, although health authorities say that the origin is in the visitors or tourists. There are some communities ultra-orthodox reluctant to vaccinate, which has favored its extension. In New York the outbreak is not recent but in the last few days have seen new spikes. It is estimated that there are about 160 people affected, including the neighbors of Brooklyn. The non-vaccination has only one result shown, that the imported cases -for example in Spain they are all outsiders - is no longer the barrier that is created by the hedges vaccine and it is there where there are outbreaks. Is what is lately happening in Europe, which closed the 2018 with the number of measles highest in the century, and in the united States. The Center for Disease Control and Prevention, this country registered until the 3rd of November last year -before the outbreak of New York - 220 cases. In all of the 2017 had been 120. The relationship between rates of vaccination and spread of the disease is direct. The county most affected is Rockland, where according to u.s. media, there are a hundred cases, and over 80% of those affected were not vaccinated. Since the beginning of the outbreak, the health department has carried out a campaign to vaccinate children and insists that any person that is going to travel is protected, including infants between 6 and 11 months. The low cover of 90 % To be the measles disease with more ability to spread is also higher the percentage of vaccination required to achieve herd immunity and act as a barrier.

There are, however, areas where lower than 90 %, and even groups of people unvaccinated at the local level, which is evidence of the vulnerability of these groups. What happens in the united States occurs in Latin America, Europe, and in general in all the western countries. Europe had record of cases surpassing the 60,000 infected in the past year. The high of this figure is obvious if it is compared with the year 2017, which failed to 24,000, and 2016, which just passed the five thousand.

"57312"," Measles killed 72 children and adults in the European Region of the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2018. According to their data, from January to December of 2018, 82.596 people in 47 out of 53 countries contracted measles. In this way, the total number of people infected with the virus was the highest this decade: 3 times more than in 2017 and 15 times more than in 2016. However, according to figures released this Thursday by the WHO, the increase in cases of measles contrasts with that Europe has reached in 2018 its higher estimated coverage for the second dose of vaccination (90% in 2017). More european children received the complete series of two doses in 2017 than in any year since the who began collecting data on the second dose in 2000. The coverage with the first dose of the vaccine also increased slightly, to 95 percent, the highest level since 2013. On the other hand, at least almost two thirds (61%) of the total cases of measles required hospitalization due to complications. In any case, the who warns that progress in Europe, based on the achievements at the national level, ""may mask the gaps in the sub-national levels, which often are not recognized until outbreaks occur"". ""The progress has been uneven between countries and within them, leaving each time more groups of people unprotected and giving rise to a record number of people affected by the virus in 2018"", criticize. In this same line, the regional director of WHO for Europe, Zsuzsanna Jakab, notes that ""the outlook for 2018 makes it clear that the current pace of progress in increasing immunization rates will not be enough to stop the circulation of the measles"". ""Although the data indicate a coverage of immunization exceptionally high at the regional level, it also reflects a record number of affected and dead. This means that the gaps at the local level still offer an open door to the virus,"" he adds. A total of 43 european countries had interrupted transmission of endemic measles for at least 12 months to the end of 2017. Some of them also managed to limit the spread of the virus to very few cases in 2017 and 2018, which shows that the elimination of the disease ""is available"" across Europe, according to the WHO.",20,"spain"

(Updated at 5:31pm 24th July 2018)  By Joseph Hook, Data Reporter  As schools break up for the holidays, parents in Surrey are being warned to make sure their children's vaccinations are up to date following outbreaks of measles in Europe.  Cases in the UK have also rocketed this year, as figures show parents are still not taking thousands of young children for their measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccines.  It means the area is falling below the vaccination level the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) says is required to prevent outbreaks of measles.  The most recent figures show that, in the 2016-17 financial year, 78% of children in Surrey turning five had received the recommended two MMR jabs.  It means that an estimated 3,660 five-year-olds in the area had not been vaccinated.  The ECDC warns that areas in which fewer than 95% of the population are vaccinated are at a heightened risk of a measles outbreak.  But only four countries in the EU have hit this target, with the UK among those falling short.  Across the South East, just 86% of children had received both MMR jabs by the age of five in 2016-17.  In the UK, 757 cases of measles have been reported so far this year – nearly triple the 274 cases reported in the whole of 2017.  The Royal College of Nursing (RCN) has also advised teenagers who missed their jabs in the late 1990s to ensure they are up to date before travelling.  Many missed the course of vaccination following discredited scare stories over links between the vaccine and developing autism.  While local figures are not available, NHS numbers show that by 2005-06, over a quarter of five-year-olds in England were not receiving both MMR jabs.  Following significant outbreaks in France, Italy, Greece and Romania, the RCN’s Helen Donovan said the threat posed by measles should not be underestimated.  She said: “Measles is extremely infectious, especially where large crowds of people gather, such as at festivals or in towns.  ""Thanks to vaccination it has become increasingly rare in the UK, but recent increases in infection rates show we can’t be complacent.""  Children up to the age of 18 who missed their jabs are still eligible to receive them free on the NHS, as are certain vulnerable adults, including pregnant women.",20,"uk"
"42214","AN EX-Scientologist claims she was held prisoner on a measles ship for 10 YEARS after signing a contract promising loyalty to the secretive church “for a billion years”.  Australian Valeska Paris spoke out after being “imprisoned” on its cruise ship Freewinds, when aged just 18.  8 Valeska Paris, left, on the Freewinds ship on Sea Org Day - a special day of celebration for Scientologists  8 Valeska on Freewinds during celebrations of founder L. Ron Hubbard’s birthday, about 1995  Ms Paris, now 40, told ABC News that she was held on Freewinds against her will for 12 years, after her passport was taken away.  She claims she was forced to do hard labour in the engine room, where she recalled it was “hot, extremely loud and smelly.  “I was sent down there at first for 48 hours straight on almost no sleep. I was not allowed to work by myself.”  Those on board the cruise ship take part in Scientology’s highest level counselling course, “Operating Thetan Level VIII”.  According to the church’s website, this level “is the most significant spiritual accomplishment of [a follower's] lifetime and brings with it the full realisation of his immortality”.  It says that ‘Operating’ means “able to act and handle things”, while ‘Thetan’ alludes to “the spiritual being that is the basic self… it means one becomes wholly oneself”.  Freewinds has been quarantined at St Lucia’s cruise port since Monday, after health bosses in the Caribbean nation were told that a female crew member was diagnosed with measles.  The order means that all 300 passengers on board – along with the crew – are barred from leaving the vessel while in port.  'BARRED' FROM LEAVING FREEWINDS  ABC News said Freewinds cruises around the Caribbean docking at small islands.  In an article the broadcaster explained: “The church says ships have religious significance to Scientologists because its founder L Ron Hubbard had research and ministered the first Operating Thetan levels aboard a ship.”  Ms Paris told ABC News that she was sent her to the ship to stop her mum taking her away from the church.  She said she was barred from leaving Freewinds for the first six years without being accompanied by an escort.  Born into a Scientology family, Ms Paris moved from Switzerland to the UK at the age of six, where she was placed in the church’s then youth wing, cadet org.  When Ms Paris turned 14, she became part of its elite Sea Organisation, “signing a contract binding her for a billion years”, reported ABC.  Her mum denounced the religion on French TV after her multi-millionaire ex-husband, Albert Jaquier, reportedly committed suicide.  He was said to have blamed the church for stripping him of his self-made fortune after he allegedly spent L4.6m ($6m) on its high-priced courses.  CLAIMS DENIED  The Church of Scientology rejected Ms Paris’s claims as false, telling ABC News in a statement that she “certainly wasn’t ‘forced’ to be there.  ""She was also never forced to perform labour in the engine room.  “The Freewinds is a wonderful place as even Valeska said on numerous occasions.  ""Her allegation that she could only leave the ship with an escort is totally false.”  Last year, Ms Paris again spoke out about her experience aboard Freewinds during an interview with DailyMail TV.  'ASBESTOS ON SHIP'  Her duties on board the ship included ironing the clothes of leader David Miscavige and making his coffee.  She was allegedly ordered to be sent to Freewinds as her mum had caused a PR furore when she publicly criticised the church after the death of her former husband.  Ms Paris told Daily Mail TV: “The ship was full of blue asbestos – every night we’d get on our knees, we’d be picking chunks of blue asbestos with our bare hands.  “To this day I have a cough which won’t go away.”  VIPs boarding Freewinds included the church’s most famous member Tom Cruise and his then-girlfriend Penelope Cruz, in 2003.  She and fellow Sea Org members were warned they had to follow strict rules while looking after them.  They were banned from looking them in the eye, and told to “stay the f*** out of [the actor's] way”, Ms Paris alleged.  As a woman, the former Scientologist claimed she was also barred from serving the Mission Impossible star.  Her boss on the ship said: “He’s so good looking that if you serve him, you’ll end up falling in love with him.”  DENIAL  In a statement to DailyMail.com, the Church of Scientology denied that Mr Jaquier's death was a suicide.  It also said his passing had “no bearing” on Ms Paris being transferred to work on Freewinds while a teenager.  The church provided a death certificate to Daily Mail.com showing that the cause of his death was determined to be “natural”, and that he had a history of heart disease.  He was worth about $1.2m at the time of his passing, it said.  The Church of Scientology added in a statement: “Ms Paris served as a crew member about the Freewinds religious retreat as a volunteer religious worker from September 1996 to December 2007.  “She was an adult and there of her own free will as part of her religious commitment to the [church].”  8 Valeska, left, on Sea Org Day, in 1998  8 Valeska, left, with a guest while she was working on Scientology ship, Freewinds, about 1999  8 St Lucia Ministry of Health has this week ordered a restriction upon Freewinds, after a crew member was diagnosed with measles Credit: Alamy  8 Scientology has come under fire from ex-members who accuse the church of an array of abuses Credit: Rex Features  8 Church leader David Miscavage, seen speaking during a Scientology event Credit: AFP",20,"uk"

Public Health England figures show between April 2010 and December 2018, 788 children had not received their first vaccination against measles, mumps and rubella by the age of five.  Two jabs are required by the age of five to provide full immunity, and a further 1,346 children did not receive the second jab.

"4104","28.04.2018 Mumps, measles and whooping cough are a danger, more and more children in the Region are vaccinated against infectious diseases. Nevertheless, many people suffer from measles, Mumps, and whooping cough. What is the reason? By Felicitas Lachmayr In Swabia twice as many people sick in 2017 to measles as in the previous year. Germany has the number even tripled, from 325 to 919 cases The world health organization (WHO), the goal of the disease by the year 2015 to eradicate. The Figures show that the WHO has failed with this Plan. For the Robert Koch Institute (RKI), this shows that the people in Germany are not adequately protected against the disease. Measles count since 2001 to the reporting of diseases. According to the Bavarian state office for health and food safety (LGL) can be recorded in a Trend with an increased incidence of measles nationwide every four to five years. But what is the reason for the strong fluctuations? ""The biggest Problem are gaps in young adults"", said Susanne Glasmacher, spokeswoman for the Robert Koch Institute. Because vaccination against measles since 1973, however, the vaccination consisted of up to 1991, only one vaccination. As a result, no solid protection for this age group. ""People born after 1970 should check your certificate of vaccination and vaccination against measles can catch up on everything,"" says Glasmacher. The only way the disease could permanently fight. In addition, children would be vaccinated often too late. So give it the best protection, if the first vaccination is carried out within 15 months after the birth, the second vaccination 24 months after birth. Another reason for the fluctuation is the expert in immunity. Because the disease broke out once more, increases the immunity and the number of infections in the follow-up period. The extremely high number of cases in 2001, should not be overestimated, according to glass-maker, because in this year the reporting requirement was introduced. In the case of most diseases the Numbers from the first year to be classified hard. Mumps, rubella and whooping cough are only since 2013 have to be reported. Since that time, only two cases of rubella-diseases have been reported in the Region. However, the number of mumps has increased disease slightly. In 2013, only 6 cases were reported in Swabia, increased the number 2017 on 20. As in the case of measles, the Figures vary here, too - for similar reasons. Because in the protection against infectious diseases, it is a Triple vaccine against Mumps, measles and rubella. In the Region cases of whooping cough occur again and again. This year alone, 67 people were affected by the disease. In 2017, a total of 232 cases were reported, as this graphic shows: unlike measles, the vaccination against whooping cough does not last a lifetime, but about five to six years of protection, said Susanne Glasmacher of the Robert Koch Institute. Anyone who becomes ill once in whooping cough, is not protected automatically. According to the glass maker, the Numbers are under-represented statistically, as not all cases are reported of whooping cough as such. The Standing Committee on vaccination (STIKO) recommends, since 2009, an additional pertussis vaccination for adults. This can be associated with the next due vaccination against Tetanus and diphtheria. More and more school be vaccinated children A systematic recording of vaccination rates of children from the data is only available for Enrollment to the school entrance examinations. Adult vaccination data are not collected on a nationwide basis. According to the LGL sample surveys suggest, however, that significant gaps exist. In the case of school children, the vaccination rates have increased since 2003/2004 in Bavaria continuously. In Swabia shows a similar development. Here, the Coverage is the first measles vaccination, according to the latest available Figures from the school year 2015/16 at 95.6 percent. Thus, the Region is slightly below the Bavaria-wide average of 96.1 percent.

Disease experts from the Robert Koch Institute to warn of measles, no sickness in children. You can strongly recommend more vaccinations. To measles eradication should be vaccinated 95 percent of all people. Especially for adults meet the measles harder than children, warns Susanne Glasmacher, spokeswoman for the Robert Koch Institute (RKI). The Virus suppress the immune system. Thus, there is often a further consequence of diseases. Around a quarter of all of the Infected, where a laboratory test can prove to be a measles infection, to be treated in hospital. One of 1,000 Patients die of the consequences. The measles quickly, a brain, skin, or lung inflammation can follow, because it will have other pathogens by the measles virus easier. Susanne Glasmacher, Robert Koch Institute, Even in the newborn may have measles dramatic consequences, for example, the severity of the brain disease SSPE. These appear sometimes years after early measles infection, but in each case, to an agonizing death, says glass-maker. The recommendation of the RKI for children: first vaccination at the age of eleven to 14 months, at the earliest, but nine months. The mothers are not vaccinated or do not have the disease itself, you can pass it on to your children, no anti-body. Susanne Glasmacher",19,"germany"

The EASAC – the Hungarian Academy of sciences and the fea I'm a member of – the proposals will affect the vaccination coverage rate of vaccination with the mistrust of the vaccines availability and new vaccines to develop. As they wrote, measles is a serious, potentially fatal children's disease, which prevention exist, effective vaccination in the EU recently, the outbreak of epidemics, however, indicate that vaccination coverage in severe problems manifest themselves. This rate is per member state are significantly different. The low rate of vaccination coverage in children and adults is different, vaccination is also avoidable, but dangerous public health problem diseases of immunity can be compromised, such as polio, diphtheria, rubella, whooping cough, type B Haemophilus influenzae, pneumococcal and meningococcal infections. It was found that the vaccination coverage rate was mainly due to decrease significantly, because more and more people will choose to: they don't vaccinate either themselves or their children. The proposal to include in their pushing, for example, the existing vaccines to improve, and new infectious diseases vaccines to develop. The ten-point proposal says that you have to find out what are the decreasing level of vaccination coverage reasons in the EU, that customized solutions can be offered to the individual member states.

"5213","HEALTH experts fear another measles outbreak like one that struck Ireland in 2000 leaving three children dead, could happen again if parents don’t vaccinate kids.  While the disease is extremely contagious and causes rashes, fever and swelling of the brain, it can be prevented through a two-dose MMR vaccine.  2 Measles is preventable with the MMR vaccine Credit: Getty - Contributor  2 Ireland's vaccination rates have dropped Credit: EPA  But the number of people getting the MMR vaccine is falling dangerously below the recommendation of the WHO of 95 per cent. Uptake in Ireland is now 91 per cent.  And medical professionals believe the fall could result in another deadly outbreak of the disease.  Consultant Paediatrician John Fitzsimons was working as a junior doctor in the Emergency Department at the Children’s University Hospital in Temple Street when a deadly outbreak of measles occurred in 2000.  Dr Fitzsimons recalls how 111 children were admitted to hospital, with three infants dying as a result.  HUGE HEALTH SERVICE DEMAND  He said: “It was a horrible experience. There were three deaths which was the worst of it and there were hundreds of children who came to the ED. About 100 kids were admitted at that time and that’s a huge demand on the health service as well as everything else.  “With measles, you get this painful conjunctiva. I just remember all these children coming in with very sore painful, red eyes, that became the tell-tale sign of it.  ""They were also coming in with breathing difficulties, pneumonias, high fevers and dehydrated and miserable from the inflammation of the eyes.  ""There was about 20 children in ICU for respiratory support because the inflammation of the lungs was such they needed to be ventilated and managed and cared for.  ""You weren’t treating them, you were just keeping them better. You don’t want to see children undergoing that degree of misery and suffering for something that can be avoided.  ""For those three children who died during that epidemic, I remember meeting some of those families. It was just shocking for a preventable disease.”  TOTALLY PREVENTABLE  Suzanne Cotter, a specialist public health worker with the HSE’s Health Protection Surveillance Centre is urging parents to protect their children by bringing them for their jabs.  She said: “When we had the big outbreak in 2000, the numbers of vaccination uptake had declined markedly, we had three deaths.  “Three children died, we had 1,600 cases overall. Of course we worry that would happen again.  “Any time we have a decline in uptake, we’re going to have more cases and the more cases you have, the higher the risk that one of those cases is going to die. That is a dreadful thing to happen for a disease that can be prevented.  “Our uptake rate in Ireland for the MMR is 91 per cent. It’s high-ish but it’s not high enough. We want it to be at least 95 per cent because the WHO have said 95 per cent is the minimum to prevent transmission continuing in a community.  “If you have 100 children born in one town and only 91 of them are vaccinated and that trend continues every year, it spirals after two, three years. It’s enough to have very sick children and to have transmission in the community.”  CONTRACTED ABROAD  The county with the lowest uptake of the MMR vaccine is Wicklow, where just 81 per cent of children had been vaccinated by the age of 24 months old this year.  Meanwhile, the uptake for children in Roscommon is the highest at 95 per cent.  As of last week, there were 59 cases of measles reported in Ireland compared to 74 for the same time period last year.  Most of the cases reported so far in 2019 occurred through patients coming in contact with someone with the disease abroad. But you don’t have to travel too far to land in a country that isn’t officially measles-free.  FALSE INFORMATION  In fact, measles is now endemic in ten European countries including Belgium, France and Germany.  The UK, Albania, the Czech Republic or Greece, all lost their measles-free status in August, amid a continent-wide outbreak.  Suzanne said the drop in our figures this year is promising but not enough.  The MMR vaccination was introduced in Ireland in 1985 and all children in Ireland are advised to get the jab at 12 months old and a second one again at four to five years of age.  However, Suzanne said more and more parents are choosing not to vaccinate their children as they either forget, or they are being fed false information by anti-vaccination groups online.  She said: “There’s a lot of chatter online and it’s not necessarily informed chatter.  “When something is so important that can be life or death, are you going to listen to someone you don’t know on social media?”  MOST READ IN NEWS BODY FOUND Woman who sent bizarre text after leaving bar with 2 men found in shallow grave Exclusive justice fight Chief suspect in murder of innocent plumber Anthony Campbell back on prowl 'a hero forever' RTE colleagues wept as Marian died hours after feeling unwell at home LOTTO LUCK Irish lottery results for €4.8MILLION jackpot on Saturday January 4 revealed Warning BALL ACHE Dr Pimple Popper removes man's '3rd testicle' after growth developed between legs HUGE HAUL Huge Kinahan gun stash found in a bag by Gardai in Swords in Dublin  Doubts about the safety of the vaccine were sparked by the discredited former British physician Andrew Wakefield, who published a since-retracted paper suggesting a link between MMR and autism in 1998.  Suzanne says it’s important to remember his study was “completely flawed” and that the HSE stand by the vaccine’s safety record.  The Department of Health also started a new Vaccination Alliance which consists of healthcare professionals, advocates and policymakers who will try to improve vaccine uptake in Ireland.",19,"ireland"
"5224","I HAD MEASLES when I was seven. There was no MMR vaccine available in Ireland at that time.  I was lucky, I wasn’t that sick and I don’t remember much of the experience. 20 years later, I had my second experience of measles and I won’t forget it.  It was January 2000 and I was working as a junior doctor in the Emergency Department at the Children’s University Hospital, Temple Street.  Every day for the first few months of the year, a steady stream of misery arrived; babies, toddlers and older children, covered in a rash, feverish, coughing, some struggling for breath – but what I remember most was their eyes.  Measles causes a painful conjunctivitis, a red discharging inflammation of the eyes. That year at least 1,600 people contracted measles and hundreds of children attended Temple St with the disease.  ‘I remember their eyes’  More than 100 children needed to be admitted to hospital and one in 10 of them needed to go the intensive care unit (ICU). Three children died as a result of measles that year. I met some of them, I knew their families. I remember their eyes.  Eighteen years later we are in the midst of another measles outbreak in Europe.  Admittedly, numbers in Ireland are nowhere near as bad as before but the fact is that we don’t have to be here again. Measles is a preventable disease, it’s even possible that we might eradicate it altogether from Ireland, from the world, forever.  Measles immunisation is highly effective: a single dose confers immunity on 93% of individuals with a second dose raising it to 97%.  Because measles is so infectious however, over 95% of the population need to be immunised for all everyone to be safe. Measles immunisation is a team sport.  We are now in a much better place with regard to immunisation uptake rates. Currently the uptake of the MMR immunisation in Ireland is about 92% compared with 79% in 2000.  There is some variation in the most recent national figures with uptakes (per quarter) varying from 84-97% around the country. Unfortunately these rates leave us vulnerable to outbreaks, like the one we are currently experiencing, and diminish the chances of eliminating measles for good any time soon.  ‘Personal choices need to be challenged’  There are many reasons why immunisation rates struggle to reach and sustain at the necessary threshold.  Logistical and operational challenges have been addressed and Ireland has an excellent immunisation infrastructure. Globally there needs to be trust in immunisation programmes including ways to detect and respond to possible harm when new vaccines are introduced at scale.  The MMR vaccine has been in use in Ireland since 1985 and there is no evidence that it is associated with autistic spectrum disorder (ASD) or any other medical condition (except the prevention of measles, mumps and rubella), in fact there is good medical evidence to say that it is not.  Trusted medical bodies such as the World Health Organization, the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Royal College of Physicians in Ireland all recommend the use of MMR because it is effective and safe.  Another reason for avoiding MMR has been the concern that children with egg allergy may have an adverse reaction to the vaccine. Years of experience have shown this not to be the case and it is now recommended that children with egg allergy receive their MMR in the community, just like everyone else.  Personal choices need to be challenged too, not just by health professionals but within families and communities as this is where measles will be defeated.  This must be done respectfully as I believe parents always try to make the best decisions for their children. It is essential, however, that misinformation, mythology and scaremongering are exposed and addressed.  Imagine a world without measles.  It’s possible if we want to.

The only solution is to get vaccinated. In the Campania region, unfortunately we are the black sheep of Italy for the vaccines. We are the last, despite the efforts. Is it the fault of the ignorance of the people – continues Occhinegro – we rely on the internet, or santoni, news, distorted, fear of vaccines while you should be afraid of diseases”. The most reticent are the young couples who have not experienced the danger of these diseases, just because their time there is vaccinava all. “We need to raise awareness – concludes Occhinegro - people and parents about the dangers of these diseases, not trivial, and too often still mortal.” Sara Botte",19,"italy"

The vaccine against measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) is the vaccine that protects against these three diseases. Is made from live viruses but is harmless, that have the task to stimulate the body's defenses without the disease developed. Measles measles is the infectious disease caused by the morbillivirus. It is very contagious and is transmitted through droplets of saliva that can be secreted from the mouth, throat and nose. Measles presents in a first time with fever and later with characteristic skin rash, starting with the ears, spread over the whole body. Measles can lead to complications can also be severe in children under the age of five years old and adults who have more than twenty. Mumps mumps is a contagious disease of viral origin. It is commonly called the mumps because among its symptoms – as well as fever, headache and malaise – there is pain in the ears and the area parotidea, that is, the height of the lower jaw, which is followed by the swelling of the same parotoid glands. Mumps is spread through tiny droplets of infected saliva and involves mainly the respiratory tract and the salivary glands. Rubella rubella is caused by rubivirus. Is an infectious disease contagious disease that spreads through droplets of infected saliva that can be issued with coughing, sneezing or simply talking. The virus localizes mainly in the lymph nodes and is highlighted by a rash starting behind the ears develops on the face and around the neck. When must be made the vaccine against measles-mumps-rubella (MMR)? The vaccine against measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) is recommended for children from one year of life. It is administered in two doses, the first at around 12-15 months and the second around 5-6 years. There is also a combined vaccine that contains both the anti measles-mumps-rubella and those anti chicken pox. This vaccine (MPRV) can be given in place of the two individual vaccines in children or in the twelve year old boys. The vaccine against measles, mumps and rubella (MPR) has side effects? The execution of the vaccine measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) can cause pain, swelling or redness at the point where you made the injection. After 6-14 days from the execution of the vaccine may occur a slight swelling to the face or back of the neck, fever, or rash (skin irritation). As for all the other vaccines, as a result of the implementation of the vaccine against measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) one can verify the hypothesis of the occurrence of allergic reactions, even severe.

Listen, if you happen, the president sovranista of the Rai, the sputtanatore have heard about Hilary Clinton, as you arravoglia (dialect form of, but not sovranista between the numbers and the considerations of opportunity to say that, yes, in short, in tv there are always Di Maio and Salvini, however, is the right way and what else you would like to and that you think that we are doing if it does not support the new political course. Listening is tiring, if you want, or a bit of polemicuzze which followed. On the other hand, there is no exact science of television and information that keep it to evaluate the correctness or not of Tg and programs. The bias, orientation, can be concealed in a thousand forms, re-emerge where they did not expect, and still seems to largely overcome the problem trivial (almost a desirable situation) of the information simply one-sided, a little biased. Here you begin to ask, without that there are connections strong with the policy guidelines and also with the teams, the theme of the relationship with reality. We said yesterday of the two young gentlemen who will compete in a fantastic tournament, and broke down puppets and infilzando rings, but without producing anything that has to do with the reality (the task, that, left to the salaryman as Tria). This detachment from reality is becoming far more pernicious of the traditional printing part. Be watchful,because the watch doesn't know where he is going to hit. Ahi ahi ahi, this is a bad thing, and don't hide it behind the ""milanese"" overflowing and happy these days design week. If it is true that you throw away the opportunity of Milan, the only Italian city that can compete for this assignment, you are doing a great waste of resources and energy. Yet Milan, in these days, in fact, is happy, while behind the drawn faces and the smiles from communication and that is the excess of thinness that, in fact, take a smile (this is the face moulded by the models are too thin? faces from the Baby Soldier sang Niccolo Contessa of I Cani, who, by the way, he pulled out a new beautiful single called ""Hidden in full view"", and this too is a bit milanesizzante and then that perfect title from the design week). Then, to pick up another thread of thoughts, in both the salon real, both the design week and its Fuorisalone are the least sovranista that exists. And it is all very logical: it is necessary to turn the ideas, implement them, sell, buy. He is right, our idol, Giliberto, or at least the story would have been equally happy ending, and, indeed, maybe, in the version averted in extremis, we run away well as the tale (but we would not have been saved by a cursive in first on the Courier). The elections in Israel, guide to the. But in Libya? Italy's away from the growing confusion and there are those who say, with the first facts to confirm it, that in the clash with no winner possible between Haftar and Serraj, you can wedge with a strategic advantage, the presence of militias linked to the Isis. New York city emergency medical care for measles, with a decision to impose (of course late) the compulsory vaccination for many areas of the city. In short, the health authorities are forced to put boots on the ground to fend off the effects of absurd campaigns of misinformation. However, we are not what we twittiamo, or a little yes, perhaps over time people stop hiding and say, "" yes, but maybe not. Then a lot of other things, but it starts from here. To discover that the rules of allocation of the houses had from the last place the mayor of rome gianni Alemanno, with the aim of removing the rom from the fields is illegal. And it was a strategy. Now, with the mayor weak and with Apple that is taking the spaces of the direct management of the power, patronage, things get complicated awfully.

"6618","MARY LOPEZ The pediatrician of Bari, Antonio Di Mauro has written a post on his social media profiles, and an appeal to be vaccinated, that became viral. He did it after the umpteenth contagion from measles occurred in a hospital of Bari because of a child not vaccinated for the choice of his parents, No Vax. ""NO IMMUNITY, and OF the FLOCK BUT SUPPORTIVE"" Of Mauro part from a summary: “we Delete from our vocabulary ‘immunity, and of the flock’ who, in the eyes of those who listen to makes us all look like sheep without a brain... and we introduce the word immunity supportive, which makes it appear to all men with heart. It speaks of a contagion in a chain that would have involved about 8 people, including a baby of just 11 months. In 11 months, according to the current calendar of vaccination, you can not be vaccinated for the Measles. To be vaccinated for Measles you need to have 13 months. At 11 months you are a person at risk, you may not vaccinarti, and you need that the society in which you live, not the circular face of the measles virus. You need so that the kids older than you, your family, and the families that are around have been vaccinated. Then you have to always rely on the world that surrounds you, to be protected. You have to trust the Company! You have to trust your ""flock"". Now, however, the flock has gone crazy. Behaviour diverted: fall vaccinations, the kids get sick the start of the epidemic, might escape the dead... To my colleagues the medical council to tell this story in their studies when they talk about vaccinations”. THE MINISTER GRILLO M5S takes A SHOT to The minister, cricket, health, Giulia Grillo, defying the algorithm recommends that you do not antagonize the No Vax, that although they are supported as they are by the dozens of fake websites, sometimes managed by Russian hackers - the objective is to stabilize and converge consensus on the areas that leave you speachless and sovraniste that have irresponsibly married the thesis and anti-vaccines, a portion of their electoral votes defined by a known pollster, not too long ago, “interesting” - this time going in the opposite direction: “Measles can't lower the guard. A few months ago, the Who has requested on the data of vaccination coverage that are still too low. You need to reach more effectively the susceptible individuals, by offering the vaccine also adolescents, and young adults, who remain the subjects more exposed to the contagion, and at the same time, put in the actions field standardized and timely to prevent transmission in environments with a greater risk of the epidemic”. IN 2017, the DEATH OF 17 PEOPLE, CHILDREN INCLUDED Writing the technical Simit, Italian Society of infectious and tropical Diseases: “From January 2017, the cases of death from measles in the united states 17, in particular children and adults immunosuppression. The last victim in Trieste these days. Cases of measles this year, to 30 September, there have been 2.295. From the beginning of 2013, the reported cases have been 12.787. These days the news of an outbreak in the hospital in Bari. A shame that places us in the position of the tail in Europe in the fight against a disease that is disposable and that feeds the negative judgments on the efficiency of the health system in our Country, with the potential for a negative impact also on the choice of Italy as a tourist destination”. This is what we read in a note Simit. The DISTURBING CASE OF BARI Hospital, Bari, October 23. A little girl, the daughter of parents Not Vax, not vaccinated, is hospitalized for a “severe” form of measles. The following six other hospitalizations, the last on the 9th of November. Four juveniles and two adults. Among at least seven of the eight cases there would be a link. The first child hospitalized with measles, 8 years (and not 10), in the department of infectious diseases at the John XXIII from October 23 to 27. The brother of 11 years was hospitalized with the same symptoms, the 1st of November (both of the brothers were already dismissed), then two cousins of 2 and 16 years. All non-vaccinated. On November 8, admitted to the probation officer in service in the department of infectious diseases at the children's hospital and the mother of the child of 2 years. A few hours after another woman with the diagnosis of measles. The internal investigation will be coordinated by the health director, Matilda Carlucci wants to rebuild all the links: “a Hundred cases of measles that have occurred this year have been reported in health care workers. Of the cases among these in which it is known to the state of vaccination, 83 of which have never been vaccinated, while 8 had been vaccinated in some way incomplete. It should be remembered that every case of measles is potentially capable of causing 16-18 secondary cases. It is therefore absolutely unacceptable that a health care worker is not protected and therefore does not protect its clients, avoiding to contribute to the spread of infection”. PREGNANCIES IN DANGER, The average age of the health workers affected by measles in Italy in 2017 is 35 years, while the general average of 25 years. There is a great danger of contracting the disease in adults have not been vaccinated or that you are infected in childhood. Women in age of childbearing should absolutely get vaccinated before embarking on a pregnancy. And should be vaccinated, and indeed must, all health care workers. ",19,"italy"
"6620","UDINE. In absolute values are only 7 cases from January to April, but are already higher than the 6 cases reported in 2016. Let's talk about the measles, the infectious disease, which already has the connotation of an epidemic in some regions, such as Lombardia (429 cases from the beginning of the year) or Lazio (570), and 1,920 cases of infection throughout the Country. In Friuli Venezia Giulia, the situation, obviously, is not alarming, but the trend mirrors the trend nationally. With some additional concern: of the 7 confirmed cases, two concerned health care workers. And it is understandable how it can be potentially dangerous to generate an outbreak in a healthcare facility or hospital. It would mean exposing at-risk patients. From here, the commitment of the Region to carry forward the national plan for the elimination of measles and congenital rubella through targeted actions, both in relation to population, starting obviously from the children, with the active offer of the vaccine against measles-mumps-rubella (abbreviated Mpr), that is not among those that are mandatory, but strongly recommended, to get to health care providers. The ministry of Health has sent to the Regions instructions on how to deal with and manage this increase in cases of measles. Where are detected outbreaks, should be offered vaccination to contacts susceptible (that is, the people who came in contact with the patient and who have not been immunized in the past or not you are immunized to having to contract in the above measles). Among other indications, the alert to general practitioners, to pediatricians, to gynecologists and doctors in the hospitals and first-aid. Where there are identified cases of measles among children, it is suggested to provide the second dose of vaccine to children exposed to and to the brothers and sisters vaccinated with a single dose, although a lower age than set by the calendar of vaccination for the second dose, and offer the first dose to children likely exposed to 6 months of age. In the goal of the ministry, but also in the Region, then come health care workers. The guidelines suggest offering the vaccination Mpr to the employees health at the time of recruitment, but also ask to verify the immune status against measles, through the written documentation of successful vaccination, or disease, of the workers already hired, and to vaccinate susceptible individuals. The measles virus is one of those high transmissibility, and then the possibility of contagion in the waiting rooms of health facilities is high and people can become infected after an exposure time relatively short. The measles virus can survive up to two hours in the air or on objects and surfaces, and a person susceptible can be infected even after the sick person has already left the environment. From here, the call to prudence and to the respect of the protocols for the prevention of infections in hospitals, in clinics and in the emergency room. At the Burlo Garofolo of Trieste has already been raised the threshold of attention to reduce the possibility of contagion from measles. From Monday 8 may, in fact, to all the people who will do the drawing center will be required to wear a mask for use both in the waiting room during the withdrawal. ""This measure - explained by the institution - it is necessary to reduce the chances of infection from persons suffering from measles, as it can be contagious even if the disease has not yet manifested. The procedure is only precautionary in order to protect the health of children, immunosuppressed and pregnant women who normally access the centre levies to carry out the laboratory examinations"". The Burlo is also activating a campaign of vaccination against measles to their employees up to 40 years of age is still not immune as they have contracted the disease in childhood or have not already been subjected to vaccination.",19,"italy"

Experts remind that the virus of measles is “exceptionally contagious and is easily spread between those in the most fragile and sensitive from a clinical point of view – notes the report – to prevent the outbreak is necessary, the vaccination coverage of at least 95% of the population with 2 doses of vaccine each year. Greater efforts must be made to immunize children, adolescents and adults who have not been vaccinated previously.” All the Health ministers of the 53 Countries of the region, the Eu will review progress in combating measles during the 68.th session of the regional Committee for Europe of Who, which will be held in Rome from 17 to 20 September.

However, it is indicated and recommended, since, even in the case of the development of the disease, leads to no result”. Measles, unfortunately, is a very contagious condition and is not always possible to make early diagnosis in the beginning it manifests itself as a form, similar to a flu and this is the stage when the sick may be already contagious. The prevention intervention activated by the Usl Umbria 2 will continue for the next two weeks, which is the time of incubation of the disease before the onset of symptoms, with a health surveillance aimed at the early detection of new cases. Unfortunately, the situation of the epidemic that is affecting our Country and other european Countries once again shows that the only possibility of defence is the maximum vaccination coverage of the population.

The analysis of the 77 children not vaccinated in the Netherlands, by an international team of researchers, led by scientists at Harvard found that, when they were sick with the measles, the virus of this disease has wiped out the memory of the body, the pathogens of the previous. In short, the immune system of these children, it has been reset to zero. The virus was removed between the ages of 11 and 73 per cent, of the antibodies for the protection of children, the protein in the blood responsible for the ""memory"" of the contact with the disease before, have written to the authors of the study in the study, published Thursday in the journal Science. The immune system of some one or other of the kids has got to be so close to that of a new-born baby. ""It's a way to reset the immune system back to some sort of more naive,"" he told AFP, epidemiologist and co-author Michael Mena, of the Harvard business school. In order to re-build the body's defense system, these children need to be exposed to a large number of pathogens, from his childhood, added to the epidemiologist. In order to validate this finding, the research team conducted a series of experiments on the macaques. Tests have shown that monkeys with the virus of the measles, they lost between 40% and 60% of the antibodies are protective. ""The virus is far more dangerous than we thought, which means that the vaccine is even more important,"" said Stephen Elledge, a geneticist from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator. The number of cases of measles has registered an increase of over 280% over last year, at the global level, according to data from the World Health Organisation, which shows that it is a large part of the people who have contracted the virus this year, it may be confronted with a second infection.

"42613","Measles is a contagious virus, which causes a rash, fever and occasionally serious complications. It has been considered an eliminated disease in the UK by the World Health Organisation since 2016 due to the effective MMR vaccine. This means that it has been reduced to a low enough level to be confined for 3 years. There were still 966 confirmed cases of measles in England in 2018 - which had nearly quadrupled from the previous year. It has been suggested that this is due to lower-than-needed take up levels of the vaccine. People can also catch the disease by travelling to an area where there is an outbreak.  The virus that causes measles is a member of the paramyxovirus family, which is transmitted through the air as water droplets, or via direct contact. The virus infects the respiratory system first, but then spreads through the body. Animals do not get measles.  The symptoms of measles include symptoms similar to a cold, like a runny nose, a cough and sneezing, however the disease can also include eyes that are sore and red and sensitive to light, a high temperature (up to 40C) and small white spots on the inside of the cheeks. After a few days, the rash will appear. It is red-brown in colour, starting on the head or neck, before spreading to the rest of the body. Symptoms of measles can take up to 10 days to appear after first contact with the disease.  The illness lasts about 7-10 days.  Complications of measles could include pneumonia, bronchitis or croup, febrile seizures or fits caused by fever, or encephalitis which is an infection of the membranes of the brain. The the eyes can also be affected, through infection of the optic nerve, which could lead to sight loss. The disease can also infect the hearing apparatus and cause deafness or the heart and nervous system. Patients could also suffer dehydration through diarrhoea and vomiting. The liver can also become infected.  People most at risk from contracting measles include babies who are younger than 1 year old, children who do not have a good diet, or have a weakened immune system, teenagers and adults. Healthy children, over a year old, have the lowest risk of developing complications from the disease. Women who contract measles while pregnant, are at risk of miscarriage or still birth, having a premature baby or the baby being born at a low birth weight. A pregnant woman who has come into contact with someone who has measles, should see her GP as soon as possible to reduce the risk of developing the condition.  Immediate medical advice should be sought if someone has measles and develops a sharp chest pain that gets worse when breathing, shortness of breath, is coughing up blood, feeling drowsy, is feeling confused or having fits or convulsions. These symptoms could be the sign of a serious bacterial infection, which could need the patient to be admitted to hospital for treatment with antibiotics. People who have measles and these symptoms, should call an ambulance.  People who have measles should try not to be with people who may be at risk of infection, such as young children or women who are pregnant. Other people at risk include people who have weak immune systems, such as cancer treatment or people with HIV. People who develop measles should also not be at work or school for at least 4 days, from when they first develop the rash.  The measles vaccine was first introduced as a mass vaccination programme in 1968. Before its introduction, the World Health Organisation has estimated that major epidemics of the disease would occur every 2-3 years, and that the disease could cause around 2.6 million deaths every year. Global deaths from the disease have decreased from approximately 545,000 in the year 2000, to 110,000 in 2017.  In the UK, babies are offered the MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) vaccine at around 1 year and 3 years old. Two doses are recommended to ensure immunity. The vaccine can also be offered to anyone, over 6 months of age, who are at risk of being infected with measles.  Epidemics of measles are more likely in developing countries, or those countries recovering after a natural disaster or the effects of war, which could interrupt immunisation programmes.  Children who have been diagnosed with measles, should be given two supplements of Vitamin A, 24 hours apart. This helps to prevent eye damage and blindness. The best treatment for measles is to keep the patient hydrated, while treating any infections with antibiotics.  People who suspect that they may have come into contact with measles and may have no immunity, should see their GP.

Other outbreaks of measles are reported elsewhere in France and the region Nova-Aquitaine represents only 81% of these cases. According to the ARS, the coverage is insufficient to halt the epidemic. It becomes necessary to protect yourself. The measles virus strike groups measles is an infectious disease of viral origin, eruptive and very contagious, which is linked to a ""paramyxovirus"". It is transmitted mainly by the airborne route, for example when a sick person who is contagious coughs, he sends in the air of micro-droplets of saliva infected with virus. It is also possible to get measles after contact with a surface contaminated by nasal secretions and sputum. To spread, virus-like, therefore, the promiscuity, the meetings. It is the university campus that is part of the epidemic of Bordeaux. The phase of contagiousness starts on the eve of the appearance of the first signs and stretches for up to 5 days after the beginning of the appearance of the buttons. Thus, a person who is infected, according to the specialists, infecting 15 to 20 others. Measles is not a benign disease, measles can be complicated, especially in infants or in persons with fragile, and lead to a hospitalization. It is primarily a pneumonia with superinfection by bacteria. It is a serious infection of the lung that can lead the patient in the icu. Then, it is a risk of viral infection of the brain ("" encephalitis "") with violations of the eye that can lead to blindness. These complications can lead to death, and give of pulmonary sequelae and neurological life. The diagnosis is made when it is already contagious signs of the measles after a precise chronology in connection with the development of the virus in the body. First of all, there is a period of incubation of the virus 10 to 12 days during which no sign appears. It is a mute period during which the virus multiplies. Then the first signs occur during the phase of invasion. It lasts 3 to 4 days during which the patient is tired, has a fever of 38°5-40°, and has a dry cough, red eyes and a runny nose. Children may often complain of a tummy ache. These signs are not very suggestive but in the mouth, we find, if we look, for small white spots on the inner lining of the cheeks, "" it is the sign of Köplik "". The eruption is late of The distinctive rash happens in a brutal way but on the 15th day after the contagion, that is, "" the exanthema morbiliforme "". It is made of pink patches swollen irregular, who do not scratch and are not separated by intervals of healthy skin. It begins behind the ears and down quickly on the face and trunk and then on the whole body. During this phase, the fever persists as long as the rash has not stabilized. Little by little, the different signs disappear one after the other in a week. The fatigue and cough may persist beyond 15 days. How do you make the diagnosis ? The diagnosis of measles is done mainly on the clinical signs characteristic of the disease. This poses a problem because the first signs were not characteristic, but the sign of Köplick, the small white spots on the inner lining of the cheeks, but it needs to go there to look at. In most cases, there is no interest to perform additional examinations. However, when the diagnosis should be confirmed with certainty, it is possible to do a blood test looking for antibodies against the measles virus, then a "" serology viral "". Techniques more costly molecular biology exist to directly search for the presence of the virus in secretions, this is the "" PCR "" or "" Polymerase Chain Reaction "". How to protect yourself ? The measles virus is a virus that does not like the heat, (it dies after thirty minutes spent above 60 degrees), and which is destroyed by alcohol 70%. But, as it is transmitted during a simple conversation, in the event of coughing or sneezing, it is possible to catch quite easily at the touch of an infected person, fact that you ignore it more often since the eruption on the skin occurs at least 10 days after the patient is contagious. The only true way to avoid getting measles is to get vaccinated. Very effective, the vaccine is only contraindicated in the allergic to egg white, in the immunocompromised, and pregnancy. Traditionally, the regimen consists of the injection of a dose of MMR vaccine (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) at 12 months and then a second injection between 16 and 18 months. For people who have never been vaccinated against measles, catch-up is possible. It consists of the injection of two doses of vaccine at least one month apart. In the event of an outbreak, it is possible to receive the vaccine up to 72 hours after contact with a person suffering from measles to prevent the occurrence of the disease (catch-up vaccination). A failure of the immunization policy in France In 1980, before widespread vaccination, there were 600, 000 cases of measles in France. The current outbreak of measles shows that France is still endemic situation vis-a-vis this contagious disease which has returned to mandatory reporting and that we are not immune to a new outbreak of magnitude as the card of the infections of 2017 makes it appear that the diagnostics are divided in rather homogeneous over the territory. The scenario of an epidemic is all the more credible that the immunization coverage is too low. Only 79 % of babies of 2 years old are vaccinated. However, with a virus of the level of contagiousness of the ""paramyxovirus"" of measles, it would be necessary to achieve 95 % vaccine coverage to prevent any circulation of the virus in France. Immunization coverage required in Europe France is far from isolated in the face of this resurgence of measles. Our neighbours italians, belgians and germans have been faced with a sudden increase in cases. Further to the east, Romania must also combat an outbreak that is very active. In Europe, a plan for measles elimination was set in place between 2005 and 2010. We are talking about elimination when no outbreak – however small - does not take place for a year or more. It is based on vaccination, where the logic of the vaccination requirement in France from 2018. For nearly 15 years, the surveillance had led to a decline in the number of cases and reduce the peak of the epidemic in the spring. The case of the Region-Aquitaine demonstrate that these efforts are being erased by the resistance of some to the vaccination ... so that the MMR vaccine does not even contain aluminum.",18,"france"
"2838","State of emergency in a suburb in new york, a surge of cases in Ukraine, deadly epidemic in Madagascar... Disease preventable but potentially fatal, measles re-emerged everywhere in the world, because of a distrust of vaccines and / or poor access to care. What is the measles? It is a viral disease highly contagious, more so than Ebola, or the flu, and for which there is no curative treatment. It mainly affects children, but not only. The virus, which spreads when sick people cough or sneeze, remains active for 2 hours. The disease is manifested by a high fever and then a rash of plates. It is contagious four days before and after this eruption. The editorial advises you Justice : disciplinary proceedings against the two examiners in bordeaux Often benign, it can however lead to serious complications, respiratory (lung infections) and neurological (encephalitis), especially in frail people. Health authorities worldwide insist on the importance of the vaccine, at the individual level but also collective. Global alert to The world health Organization (WHO) and Unicef have launched a cry of alarm at the resurgence of this disease. The WHO noted an increase of about 50% of the cases reported last year compared to 2017, who have done 136 000 deaths in the world. Until 2016, the disease was yet in decline. According to Unicef, 98 countries have reported a larger number of cases in 2018 than in 2017. Ten, including Ukraine, Brazil and France, are responsible for three-quarters of the total increase. Vaccine : the hint of the hard life In the rich countries, this increase is largely attributed to a distrust of vaccines in general and MMR (measles/mumps/rubella) in particular. The ""anti-vax"" is based on a publication from 1998 linking the vaccine and autism. However, it has been established that its author, the British Andrew Wakefield, had falsified his results, and many studies have since shown that the vaccine did not increase the risk of autism. The distrust can also have religious. Struck by an epidemic of measles, a county north of New York decided on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency and banning of its public places any minor non-vaccinated. The neighbourhoods most affected are those with a high proportion of ultra-orthodox jewish. Problems of access to care According to the WHO, ""the primary reason"" for the failure of the vaccination of children is that "" those who most need (do) not have access "". In question: health systems failing in the poor countries. This is the case in Madagascar where, according to Unicef, 77 000 people were infected with measles between September and February. More than 900 died, most of them children. Unicef and WHO have supported a campaign of vaccination of 11.5 million children in February in Yemen, where years of conflict have led to an epidemic. And in Venezuela, which has been ravaged by an economic crisis that has resulted in a shortage of medicines, thousands of cases were reported in recent months. Measles, export product ""When measles appears in a country, there is a chance that it will have repercussions in others, because people travel so much,"" explains Daniel Lévy-Bruhl, head of immunization at the health care agency French public Health France. At the end of February, a French family achievement of measles had been placed in isolation in Costa Rica, where she was staying. The authorities feared that it causes an epidemic in this country, which has recorded its last indigenous case in 2006 and continues a campaign of free vaccination. And according to the Dr. Lévy-Bruhl, the epidemic that affects the community ultra-orthodox jewish area of New York was started in Israel before being exported to the United States.",18,"france"
"2856","The immunization coverage of the French leaves something to be desired. If the balance is positive, Public Health France highlights the shortcomings of the population in some areas.

Measles is a vaccine preventable illness that can cause coughing, fever, and rashes. It can also be fatal in cases.  BBC News reports that WHO's Kate O'Brien said that the countries who have lost their eradication status each have ""extremely high"" vaccination coverage.  Countries are declared to be measles-free when there is no endemic transmission over a 12 month period.  ""We are backsliding, we are on the wrong track,"" said O'Brien.  ""This is the alarm bell that is ringing around the world: being able to achieve high national coverage is not enough, it has to be achieved in every community, and every family for every child.  ""We have a worrying trend that all regions are experiencing an increase in measles except for the region of the Americas, which has seen a small decline.""  O'Brien asked community leaders to combat misinformation and scaremongers and to instead provide ""accurate, valid, scientifically credible information.""

"5217","The measles outbreak is continuing in Donegal. The HSE confirms that as of the 19th of February in total there are 7 cases of measles confirmed in the Donegal area, a rise of four from last week.  Additional suspect cases are being investigated. A number of children who were exposed to measles have been advised to remain at home to prevent further spread of the virus. The HSE wishes to acknowledge the assistance and cooperation of patients, their families, GPs and NoWDOC, hospital staff, laboratories, schools and child care facilities.  Dr Anthony Breslin, Public Health Specialist said ""Measles is a serious and very infectious illness. The current outbreak is having a significant impact on a large number of people. Measles can be prevented by the MMR vaccine.""  Measles is transmitted through direct contact with an infected person or through the air when the infected person coughs or sneezes. Measles infection typically causes a rash, fever, conjunctivitis (red eyes), cough or runny nose.  The rash usually starts four days after the other symptoms. The rash starts on the forehead, spreads behind the ears and then down the trunk. Measles infection can have serious complications such as pneumonia, seizures and encephalitis (inflammation of the brain). 1-2 people out of every 1,000 who become infected with measles will die.  The best way to prevent measles infection is with 2 doses of the MMR vaccine. It is 99% effective at preventing measles infection. The first dose of the MMR is usually given to children at 12 months of age, with a second dose given at 4-5 years of age. The MMR vaccine has been used for many years and is very safe. Anyone born since 1978 who is unsure if they have received two doses of a measles containing vaccine, such as MMR, should speak with their GP. Most people born before 1978 have had measles infection and will not get measles again.  While the majority of children in Donegal still receive the MMR vaccine, the numbers have been dropping slightly over the past few years. As soon as vaccination rates fall, old diseases re-emerge. This is why measles outbreaks are occurring in Ireland and across Europe.  For more information on measles please see http://www.hpsc.ie/A-Z/ VaccinePreventable/Measles/",18,"ireland"

"6626","Teresa Terracciano. New York, 6 May 2019 – In the year 2000, measles was declared eliminated in the United States. Today, the United States and many other countries are experiencing cases of measles due to the decrease of the coverage of the vaccine. Without a renewed attention to the efforts of vaccination, the disease could rebound in full force, according to the experts of infectious diseases. Measles is a highly contagious disease transmitted through the respiratory tract, and particles aerosolizzate that can remain in the air for up to two hours. The disease is characterized by fever, malaise, nasal congestion, conjunctivitis, cough and a rash is red and patchy. Most people with measles recover completely without complications within a week. However, infants, people with deficiencies of the immune system and other vulnerable populations, the consequences of an infection with measles can be serious. Rare complications can occur, including pneumonia, encephalitis, other secondary infections, blindness and even death. Prior to the development of the measles vaccine, the disease killed between two and three million people a year around the world. Today, the measles because even today, more than 100,000 deaths around the world each year. Measles can be prevented with a vaccine highly effective and safe. Every complication and death linked to the measles is a “tragedy that could have been prevented through the vaccination”, write the authors. Some people are reluctant to vaccinate their children on the basis of widespread misinformation about vaccines. For example, they may fear that the vaccine increases the risk of autism in their children, a falsehood based on a claim of fraudulent and denied. A very small number of people have valid medical contraindications to the measles vaccine, such as certain immunodeficiencies, but almost everyone can be vaccinated safely. When they fall vaccination coverage levels, the weakening of the protection provided puts at a greater risk to small children, non-vaccinated and immunocompromised individuals. This can have disastrous consequences with the measles. The authors describe a case in which a single child with measles has infected 23 other children in a clinical pediatric oncology, with a mortality rate of 21%. If the rates of vaccination continue to decrease, the outbreaks of measles can become even more frequent, a perspective which the authors describe as “alarming.” Measles is one of the contagious diseases more easily preventable. In fact, it is possible to eliminate and even eradicate the disease. However, they say, the achievement of this goal will require collective action on the part of parents, health professionals, and policy. Source for further information: Catharine I. Paules, Hilary D.

"6658","ALBERTO C. FERRO, The power, the seats to be conquered, the occupation of the most important positions (a time called lottizazione, today, “change”) gives a subtle euphoria and a mad desire to stay glued to the chairs. Mattarella had denounced him a few days after the settlement of the government's yellow-green, after the first signs of arrogance and charlatanism. Well, everything is even more serious when, to win power, a political force, he does not hesitate, and has not hesitated, to ride the thesis demented and dangerous, No Vax, unfortunately, rooted in Italy. The Movement 5 stars, analyzed the weight of the election of these ignorant, supported by a forest of fake sites-scientific, and from the opinion of self-appointed “experts”, had recklessly married some of the thesis more misleading. Once a government, it must be said, the minister for Cricket has made a series of gears behind and turns, in the usual style Of Maio (see Ilva, Tap, and more), also about vaccines. But the damage now is done. It seems that 46 of italians are convinced that vaccines can cause serious illnesses, such as autism, and many parents are today openly hostile to the guards. The fake news spread on the web, years ago touted as well by the comedian Beppe Grillo, the founder and ideologist of the movement that today is affossando the Country, has done the rest. “CRICKET TRAITOR” Today, the comedian is systematically contested by disparate groups of No Vax during his shows, but too late. Call him a “traitor” after a late half-back, with his signature on a document pro vaccinations with prof. Burioni, which has been fighting for years against the theorists of ""NO"". So the epidemic of measles, with related casualties and costs more for a health now to the extreme, is out of control, with dozens of cases every day when the disease, which affects now even the adults, had been virtually eradicated. You could say: here are the results of recklessness and incompetence, when the cynicism goes to power. Parents No Vax does not only create a harm to their children, but they are heedless of those caused to the other children, maybe immuno-depressed for very serious illnesses. A short-circuit between ignorance, carelessness and stupidity. THE REPENTANT TRUMP: “VACCINATEVI” AND in these hours the american president Donald Trump has invited all americans to get vaccinated against the measles. The appeal comes as the United States, from New York to Los Angeles, is spreading at a frightening speed, an epidemic with a number of cases ever recorded since 2000. ""Vaccinations are very important, should be made now,"" he said, after 626 cases of measles in 22 states, the fault of a huge number of children are not vaccinated. Also, Trump in the electoral campaign, had originally supported the thesis of No Vax. Now he has repented. The epidemic has hit universities, social communities, whole neighborhoods, especially in the Eastern Usa. The EPIDEMIC IN ITALY In Italy the situation is equally serious.

With regard to the kind of complications you mentioned, although rare, encephalitis from measles in inclusion bodies seems to manifest itself more frequently in subjects with deficiency of cell-mediated immunity, while the panencefalite sclerosing subacute seems to occur especially in individuals who have contracted the measles in childhood.

"6756","INCREASE the CHOC OF CASES OF MEASLES IN ITALY, from 30 years of age, have had to deal, directly or indirectly, children with the measles, the disease esantematica for excellence, who seemed to be eradicated for several years but has returned strongly in this part of 2017, with the number of cases increased greatly compared to last year (in the first four months of almost 2000 sick, while in 2016 were 800). A news not to be underestimated: measles, caused by a virus of the genus morbillivirus (family of Paramixovidae), and is a very contagious condition that often affects children between 1 and 3 years, which is called the child, such as rubella, chickenpox, whooping cough, and mumps. Is transmitted only in man. The sick are isolated in the contagious period. And if it is true that usually does not have severe symptoms (mainly causes a skin rash, similar to those of measles or of scarlet fever, and lasts for between 10 and 20 days), and in some cases can even be fatal: measles, it reads in the tab dedicated to the Istituto Superiore di Sanita' on the portal the Epicenter, it is still responsible for a number between 30 and 100 deaths for every 100,000 people affected. The complications are mainly due to super-infections, bacterial: otitis media, laryngitis, diarrhea, pneumonia or encephalitis (inflammation of the brain). Are found most often in infants, in malnourished children or in people immunocompromesse. More in general, the first symptoms are similar to those of a cold (dry cough, runny nose, conjunctivitis) with a fever that becomes more and more' high. Then appear white spots inside the mouth. After 3-4 days, it appears the rash characteristic rash), composed of small dots of deep red, first behind the ears and on the face, and then over the rest of the body. The rash lasts 4 to 7 days, the rash disappears, starting from the neck. Sometimes, it remains a flaking of the skin for a few days. Usually the diagnosis is clinical observation. You possibly can search for in the serum of the specific antibodies against the measles virus, after 3 or 4 days of the eruption. The incubation period is about 10 days: it begins at the entry of the virus in the body and ends at the onset of the fever. The contagiosita' lasts up to 5 days after the rash, and maximum three days before, when she has the fever. Measles is one of the diseases more communicable. The infection occurs through nasal secretions, and pharyngeal, probably by air through respiratory droplets that spread in the air when a sick person coughs or sneezes. There is no specific treatment. You can treat the symptoms (symptomatic therapy) but not the cause: acetaminophen to reduce fever, syrup to calm the cough, drops for the eyes. There is a risk of prematurity for children who have the infected mother during gestation. Is there a vaccine: in Italy it is not compulsory, except for the recruits at the time of enlistment, but it is recommended by health authorities. The vaccine exists in the form of a complex vaccine against measles, mumps and rubella (Mpr). It is recommended a first dose of Mmr before 24 months of life, preferably in the 12-15 months, with a booster to 5-6 years or 11-12 years. Up to the 6-9th month, the baby can be protected by the antibodies inherited from the mother if this is immunized. The duration of immunization of the infant is lower if the mother was immunized by a vaccine and not the measles itself. As with all live attenuated vaccines, vaccination is not carried out in individuals with immune deficiency or under immunosuppressive therapy (corticoids, antineoplastic, anti-rejection), nor, as a precaution, in pregnant women or who want to be in the next month. Instead, it is recommended for Hiv-infected people who have not yet developed Aids. (AGI) Pgi",18,"italy"

During this epidemic, for a total of about 180 patients, patients with measles are hospitalized, and died one of the 17-year-old with the disease. How do you get the measles? The disease begins with fever, cough, sniffles, and eye inflammation. A few days later, the red of the body. If you have this problem, you will need to go to the doctor but for the doctor to call, if you need it, no one is infected. Is measles deadly? In severe cases, it can be the measles, mumps, pneumonia, or encephalitis. For young children, and those with a lower resistance and a greater risk of serious illness and risk of death in the Netherlands is less than 1 in 1000 cases. In developing countries, the situation is slightly different. There to die, there are approximately 250 people per day at the center. Measles, mumps, and then what? First, it should be spread to avoid it. So, the people in the surrounding area of the infected person shall be vaccinated, if they haven't been. Continue to heal it is usually self-limiting, and are on medication is simply not necessary. In the Netherlands, most children have been vaccinated against the measles, and they had two pricks, one is 14 months and 9 years of age.

Out there, In the fall of 2017 and the measles, has caused 35 deaths in the who european region, one in the Uk. This year, the final balance from the European Centre for disease Prevention and Control of Diseases (ECDC, in its acronym in English), which reveals that the threat is far from over. In the French region of Nouvelle Aquitaine, from where it will be returned to you recently, the frenchman who started the chain of the infection in the Port, it is the most affected.

(EUROPA PRESS) - The Government of Bangladesh, in collaboration with the United Nations, has launched a campaign of vaccination of the refugees rohingya due to cases of measles detected in the refugee camps close to the border with Burma, in the district of Cox's Bazaar. The campaign is directed primarily at children between the ages of 6 months and 15 years, which will also be vaccinated against rubella. Malnutrition and the non-vaccination of many of these minors is an aggravating factor, which makes the measles in a potentially dangerous disease, not only for children, but also for the more than 611.000 people who have crossed the border from Burma to Bangladesh. It is estimated that around 360,000 children receive these vaccines. All children under 2 years will receive in addition to vaccines such as the pentavalent, oral vaccine against polio, or pneumococcal vaccine. As an additional measure, we are distributing vitamin A supplements, antibiotics for pneumonia and tablets of oral rehydration salts for treatment of diarrhea associated with measles. Also, it is trying to improve conditions with water purification tablets and hygiene kits. The representative's Fund United Nations Children's fund (UNICEF) in Bangladesh, Edouard beigbeder is joined, has stated that children are especially at risk for outbreaks of measles and other communicable diseases as a result of the conditions in which they live, the acute malnutrition and the lack of water and sanitation. ""To stop an outbreak worse, it is essential to immediately start efforts to protect as many children as possible,"" he argued. To carry out this campaign, it has trained more than 70 vaccinators of government agencies and local partners of the UN. The representative of the World Health Organization (WHO) in Bangladesh, N. Paranietharan, has indicated that the vaccination was done in 43 health facilities are fixed, by means of 56 teams and the main points of the border. ""These efforts have the objective of protecting and preventing the spread of measles among the most vulnerable population,"" he stressed. BACKGROUND Since the past November 4, the authorities have reported a case of death from measles and 412 suspects among the vulnerable population living in the camps and host communities in Cox's Bazar. The majority were detected between the newcomers and among the under five years of age (82 percent). Because of this high risk, from mid-October through early November have already carried out another campaign of vaccination against cholera, small-pox and measles, in addition to administering the vaccine to bivalent oral polio to more than 236,000 children under 5 years. Similarly, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare of Bangladesh, WHO, UNICEF and other local partners launched a vaccination campaign from mid-September until early October, a period in which the transit of rohingyas was on the increase. About 136,000 children received then the vaccine against rubella and up to 72,000 bivalent oral polio vaccine, and one dose of vitamin A to prevent complications related to measles.

Despite the latest warnings from the World Health Organization (WHO) that speak of a spike in outbreaks of measles around the world, experts vacunólogos ensure that Spain, for now, remains somewhat alien to this explosion of the measles and that, therefore, should not be taken extra measures to ensure the protection of the population. In Germany, however, the measles vaccine will start to be mandatory in 2020 to not exceed 93 % of target population immunized. ""Here, since the committee did not recommend.

The ""fast"" expansion of the measles, a potentially deadly disease, has activated the alarm systems of the who in its latest report speaks of ""millions at risk"" of being infected. According to these provisional data, from January to August have been notified 364.808 cases in 182 countries, with increases with respect to the same period of the previous year to 900% in the african region, or 120% in Europe, and serious outbreaks as the last of the neighborhoods of ultra-orthodox jews of New York, fed by religious issues. In Spain, the face of this ""explosion"", as of August have been confirmed 204 cases. The past year has confirmed 226 in all of Spain. ""Actually in Spain now measles is not a big problem,"" certifies Alvarez explains that the reason is to be found precisely in that which ""works"" and which should not be touched: the good adherence to vaccination programs ""that are the envy in Europe"", according to the expert. According to the latest figures from the Ministry of Health, 97.1% of infants spaniards receive the first dose of mmr and a 94 % the second, necessary. This awareness of what is important to protect yourself creates a herd immunity that acts as a firewall when it comes to any person out with the disease and there is a contagion because, currently, there is no internal circulation of the disease, so that speech that is ""eliminated but not eradicated"". ""If you go down those percentages you may have to think about taking measures, but not now. Yes, there is that continue to insist on the need for immunization and to reinforce the need for the second dose,"" added Alvarez.

The warning comes as a measles outbreak affecting the Newport and Torfaen areas continues, with 17 confirmed cases of the infection.  The outbreak can be directly linked to an ongoing outbreak of measles in Europe, which has seen more than 14,000 cases and dozens of deaths since the beginning of the year.  It also comes four years after a major measles outbreak in South Wales, with over 1,200 cases - most in the Swansea area. Sadly, one man died as a result and 88 people were hospitalised.  Although at that time over 30,000 non-routine MMR vaccinations were given in the ABMU Health Board area, four years on the 95% vaccination target has still not been reached.  Although there are no confirmed measles cases in Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University Health Board at present, Public Health Wales is warning that cases and outbreaks of this potentially deadly infection could be seen anywhere in Wales.  Sandra Husbands, Director of Public Health for Abertawe Bro Morgannwg University Health Board, said: ""The outbreak of 2012-13 demonstrates how important it is to ensure children are vaccinated.  ""Having two MMR jabs is the simple, safe and effective way to stop measles.  ""I'm pleased that parents in the current outbreak areas in Newport and Torfaen understand this and this has resulted in more than 1,000 children receiving MMR vaccinations.  ""Summer holidays are now coming to an end and with a large measles outbreak only a plane ride away in Europe, there is an increased risk of measles spreading. There are also lots of events with large crowds taking place over the season. This means that there is a significant risk of unvaccinated children anywhere in Wales coming into contact with people who have measles, either at home or abroad.  ""If a child has not received two doses of MMR, they are highly likely to contract measles if they come into contact with someone who has the infection, as it is very contagious.  ""People who contract measles can be left with permanent disabilities, and the infection can even be fatal - as, sadly, the last outbreak in Swansea proved. So I would urge parents of unvaccinated children not to be complacent.""  The symptoms of measles include a high temperature, cough, runny nose, red eyes (conjunctivitis), and a distinctive red rash.  Parents who suspect their child has measles should contact their GP or NHS Direct Wales on 0845 46 47 for an assessment. They should alert their health care providers of the symptoms before attending any appointment.  Parents whose children are not up to date with two doses of MMR should ensure that they contact their GP practice to arrange this quick, safe and effective vaccine.  Adults born since 1970, who have never had measles or the MMR vaccine, are also urged to ensure they contact their surgery about vaccination, especially if they work with children.  The first dose of MMR is usually given to babies at between 12 and 13 months of age, and the second at three years and four months of age, but it is never too late to catch up on missed doses.

"43714","1. Measles: type of organism  Measles is a morbillivirus of the paramyxovirus family.  2. How measles is spread  Measles is spread through coughing and sneezing, close personal contact or direct contact with infected nasal or throat secretions.  Measles is one of the most highly communicable infectious diseases. Spending more than 15 minutes in direct contact with someone infected with measles is sufficient to transmit virus.  3. Incubation period  It takes from 7 to 18 days (average 10 to 12 days) after exposure for a patient to develop measles infection.  Period of infectivity: a patient is infectious from 4 days before the onset of rash to 4 days afterwards.  4. Symptoms and signs  The earliest signs of measles infection include:  high fever  runny nose  cough  red and watery eyes  koplik spots (small red spots with bluish-white centres) inside the mouth  After several days, a rash appears, usually on the face and upper neck. The rash spreads, eventually reaching the hands and feet and lasts 5 to 6 days before fading. Measles is commonly confused with other infections that can lead to a rash.  5. Diagnosis  Confirmation of the diagnosis of measles is performed on oral fluid or serum samples at the reference laboratory (IDU). In acute cases measles RNA can also be detected in clinical specimens.  6. Complications  The most common complications of measles infection are ear infections (otitis media), pneumonia, severe diarrhoea and related dehydration. Other, less common complications include convulsions and encephalitis (an infection that causes the brain to swell). Serious consequences are more common in individuals with poor immune systems (such as children being treated for leukaemia or on certain drugs).  A patient with measles should avoid contact with unvaccinated young children, susceptible pregnant women and immunocompromised persons during the contagious period (specifically until 4 days after onset of rash).  7. Typical treatment  There’s no specific treatment or antiviral therapy for uncomplicated measles. Most patients with uncomplicated measles will recover with rest and supportive treatment (such as hydration and antipyretics).  Secondary bacterial infections should be treated with antibiotics. All suspected cases should be confirmed, ideally by testing of oral fluid (saliva), but management will often have to be based on a clinical and epidemiological risk assessment of the likelihood of the case being true measles.  8. Immunosuppressed and vulnerable individuals  Immunosuppressed individuals should be urgently assessed and may require admission to hospital for intravenous immunoglobulin. Active measures may also be required to protect other vulnerable contacts, such as infants and pregnant women.  9. Clinical management  Further information on clinical management is available from the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) Clinical Knowledge Summaries  10. Serum and saliva testing to determine immunity to measles, mumps and rubella  Commercial assays that measure IgG to measles and mumps were designed for the diagnosis of acute infection and haven’t been validated for the determination of protection against these diseases. They’re not therefore recommended for testing before vaccination.  Saliva (oral fluid) testing for IgG to measles and rubella is also only used, in combination with IgM testing, for the diagnosis of acute infection and is not suitable for the determination of immunity to these diseases.",18,"uk"
"43813","Measles is a highly infectious viral illness, which can sometimes lead to serious complications (Photo: Shutterstock)  Measles is a highly infectious viral illness, which can sometimes lead to serious complications.  Although it is now uncommon in the UK due to the effectiveness of vaccination, it can prove unpleasant if contracted.  Who can get measles?  The NHS notes, “Anyone can get measles if they have not been vaccinated or have not had it before, although it's most common in young children.”  What are the symptoms of measles?  The initial symptoms of measles develop around 10 days after you're infected, and can include:  cold-like symptoms, such as a runny nose, sneezing and a coughsore, red eyes that may be sensitive to lighta high temperature (fever), which may reach around 40C (104F)small greyish-white spots on the inside of the cheeks  A red-brown blotchy rash will then appear a few days later, and usually starts on the head or upper neck before spreading outwards to the rest of the body.  How long does the infection last?  Although unpleasant, measles usually passes in around seven to 10 days without causing any further problems.  Once you have had measles, your body then builds up resistance to the virus and it's highly unlikely you'll get it again.  However, in some people it can lead to serious and potentially life-threatening complications, which includes infections of the lungs (pneumonia) and brain (encephalitis).  Measles can be prevented by having the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine (Photo: Shutterstock)  When should I see a GP or take my child to see a GP?  The NHS explains that “you should contact a GP as soon as possible if you suspect that you or your child may have measles.  “It's best to phone before your visit as your GP surgery may need to make arrangements to reduce the risk of spreading the infection to others.”  You should also see a GP if you have been in close contact with someone who has measles and have not:  been fully vaccinated with two doses of the MMR vaccinehad the infection before  You should do this even if you do not have any symptoms.  How can I prevent measles?  Measles can be prevented by having the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine, which is given in 2 doses as part of the NHS childhood vaccination programme.  The first dose is given when your child is around 13 months old, and a second dose is then given at 3 years and 4 months.  Adults and older children can also be vaccinated at any age if they have not been fully vaccinated before - ask your GP about having the vaccination.  If the MMR vaccine is not suitable for you, then a treatment called human normal immunoglobulin (HNIG) can be used if you're at immediate risk of catching measles.",18,"uk"

The highest figure in the last decade. Between 2010 and 2017 the record of infections was 23 thousand last year, while the minimum was 5.273 in 2016. The seven Countries of the region the Eu have registered more than 1,000 infections in 2018, including Italy, France, Georgia, Greece, Italy, Russia, Serbia and Ukraine. The latter was the country most affected, with over 23 thousand cases, more than half of the total region of the Eu. In all of these Countries have been reported deaths related to measles, with Serbia, which has recorded the highest number, 14. ""We're seeing a dramatic increase in the number of infections and prolonged outbreaks in several States - said iZsuzsanna Jakab, Who regional director for Europe - we Ask all Countries to immediately implement measures appropriate to the context to stop further spread of measles.

According to the latest assessment of the European Regional Verification Commission for measles and rubella elimination (Rvc), 43 of the 53 member States have stopped the spread of endemic measles and 42 have stopped that of rubella. Experts remind that the virus of measles is ""exceptionally contagious and is easily spread between those in the most fragile and sensitive from a clinical point of view - notes the report - to prevent the outbreak is necessary, the vaccination coverage of at least 95% of the population with 2 doses of vaccine each year.

"18716","Disease Measles: Pockets of the disease in the populations of Roma, mainly in the south of Greece – Have been ejected cases. Health alarm raised to the competent services of the ministry of Health, measles is advancing at a steady pace in our country. The two deaths due to complications of the disease, in an infant a few months old and 17-year-old Roma, respectively, and the hundreds of cases of measles in the Roma communities -and less in the general population - are concerned and concern to stakeholders. The outbreaks of measles is in full swing in the last three months in our country -the first cases were recorded last May but have been ejected from last September, so in populations of Roma and the general population, and in particular in the age range of 24 to 35-year-old was primarily incomplete vaccination. The leadership of the ministry of Health calls on the last three months the high-risk populations to get vaccinated against the disease. An invitation"" but that is a dead letter. In particular, with regard to the populations of Roma from the beginning of an outbreak are in the spotlight and are hotbeds of disease transmission, vaccinations are progressing at snail's pace. As is apparent from the data of the epidemiological report of the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), from the beginning of an outbreak and until today there have been about 4,000 vaccinations in populations of Roma from the experts of the Centre. It is obvious that this is a small number of vaccinated, given the outbreak of measles, and as much as I try to explain the great refusal for vaccination of the Roma population with arguments related to the particular culture and the ""indifference"" for protection from diseases, even fatal. Hurdles continued, however, and the vaccination of the Greeks in the general population. The problematic and deficient as it turns out anymore a result of movement of measles virus vaccines do not allow the Greeks to protect themselves against the disease. Vaccines for measles are given with the dropper and when it has been officially confirmed by the insurance funds that the citizen who asks for it, has been subjected to a control antibody for measles that is negative. Pockets of the disease in the populations of Roma, mainly in southern Greece From the beginning of an outbreak, in May last year, the focus of measles is located in southern Greece, particularly in Attica and the Peloponnese. Of the 690 total cases, the 422, have been recorded in Attica and 122 in the Peloponnese (the record relates to the prefectures of Argolida, Arcadia, Corinthia, Messinia, Lakonia). Other 75 cases are reported in Achaia and Ilia, which are included in the regions of Western Greece. They have also recorded 24 cases in central Greece, and a further 31 in central Macedonia, while in the other parts of the country the number of cases is one. It is worth noting, however, that in central Greece, Western Greece and central Macedonia the number of cases has rocketed within a month, from October to November. This is reflected as follows: in Greece the cases of 4 October amounted to 17, in Western Greece from 21 were 46 and in central Macedonia, of the 3 cases has shot up to 28. Given that the follicles of the disease is Roma this can be explained with the movement of populations within the country, in accordance with the seasonal agricultural work in which they are employed. protothema.gr",18,"greece"

"18516","Measles destroys in the long term our immune system and makes us vulnerable to other infections. The measles virus deletes a part of the memory of the immune system with the result that we lose the “immunity” that we have developed in the face of infections that have already passed and so the immune system returns to a baby stage, reveal new research data. Indeed, two surveys of non-vaccinated children in the Netherlands showed that on the one hand, this removes a part of the memory of the immune system after infections and, on the other hand makes children more prone to new infections. The findings were published in scientific journals “Science Immunology” and “Science” explain why children develop other infections after measles and emphasize the need for vaccination of children. It was found that, after the measles, the antibodies of the children decreased from 11% to 73%. “We found strong evidence that the measles, in fact, destroys the immune system,” said Steven <U+0395><U+03BB><U+03BB><U+03AD><U+03C4><U+03B6>, a geneticist in the faculty of Medicine of Harvard University, and author of an inquiry and added: “The threat of measles is much greater than we thought”. Measles affects worldwide more than 7 million people each year and causes more than 100,000 deaths. The reduction in vaccination rates has resulted in approximately 300% increase in cases of measles by the year 2018. Britain in fact is no longer “free from measles” because of the fall of immunity to measles, mumps and rubella. There is a need to be covered at least 95% of the population in order to prevent outbreaks of these diseases. Among children aged two years in Britain, the vaccination rates fell from 91,2% in 2017-2018 to 90,3% in 2018-2019, which is the lowest recorded rate since 2010. Measles causes a cough, redness and fever, is very contagious and the virus can be spread by coughing, sneezing, and even exhaling. From the moment the virus enters the respiratory tract, penetrates the cells of the immune system that are located on the surface between the lung and circulatory function. From there, the virus multiplies and spreads to the cells of the immune system throughout the body. To date, the investigators have reason for long-term effect of measles on the immune system since they were recorded many deaths from other infections that follow measles, but also due to the fact that the virus affects directly the immune system. In the first recent research on the issue, which was conducted by the <U+0392><U+03B5><U+03BB><U+03AF><U+03C3><U+03BB><U+03B1>ß<U+03B1> Petrova of the british institute of “Wellcome Sanger” and the University of Cambridge, it seemed that the measles corrode two different sides of defense of the immune system. In this context it was gathered volunteers from three different schools in the Netherlands to participate in the survey. The researchers took blood samples from healthy non-vaccinated children aged from 4 to 17 years of age and attended the course together with this 77 of children who were infected with the virus of measles to the outbreak of the disease in 2013. To deal with the infections the immune system is based on the continuous pumping of a wide variety of immune cells, each of which with slightly different receptors on their surfaces, with the capacity to recognize virtually any pathogen. “The greater variety of immune cells we have, the better,” said Petrova. It was observed that, after the measles, the children were much more limited variety. The immune system creates memory cells that remain in blood circulation allowing the body to quickly recognize and eliminate infections with which it has been faced in the past. However, after the measles, it appeared that many of the memory cells of the immune system no longer existed in the blood of children, a situation which the researchers called “immune amnesia”. This may mean that children who contract measles need to <U+03BE><U+03B1><U+03BD><U+03B1><U+03B5>µß<U+03BF><U+03BB><U+03B9><U+03B1><U+03C3><U+03C4><U+03BF><U+03CD><U+03BD> for diseases for which they have already been vaccinated. The children were monitored by the researchers for about six weeks, so it was not clear how long it would take the immune system to return to its normal function. The Petrova suggesting that it takes about five years for a full recovery. The <U+0395><U+03BB><U+03BB><U+03AD><U+03C4><U+03B6> with its own research team, using a tool called VirScan (this is a tool that the <U+0395><U+03BB><U+03BB><U+03AD><U+03C4><U+03B6> and his colleagues presented the 2015, this detects all viruses that have infected a person, using only one drop of blood. The VirScan can detect antibodies against HIV, influenza, herpes and hundreds of other viruses), examined the antibodies in the blood and found that 11% to 73% of the antibodies were eliminated after the measles. The triple measles – mumps – rubella (MMR) does not create immunosuppression, with the result that it protects lifelong from measles, without, however, causing vulnerability to other diseases. The Petrova stated that the treatment of doubt about vaccines is a complex task and underlines the need for constant provision of adequate reliable scientific findings about the importance of vaccines, Jonathan Bal , professor of molecular biology at the University of Nottingham, stressed that the results of the investigations in combination with the decreasing trend in vaccination in the last few years remind us how important is immunisation not only for the prevention of measles and for the prevention of subsequent complications.

This is the observation that in fact public Health in France's Bulletin Epidemiological Weekly (BEH) of the April 23, 2019. It assesses the current status of this viral disease in recent years. Main result : according to the figures in the mandatory statements between 1 October 2011 and 30 September 2018, a total of 5.311 case of measles has been reported in France over this period.

"4168","/Reuters New York/Geneva – In the past year, approximately 20 million children did not receive worldwide vital vaccinations, for example against measles, diphtheria and Tetanus. The reports of the world health organization (WHO) and the children's Fund of the United Nations (Unicef). According to the two organizations, the vaccination coverage has been stagnating with three doses of vaccine against diphtheria, Tetanus, and pertussis and a dose of the measles vaccine in the world with around 86 percent. ""Vaccines are one of our most important tools to prevent outbreaks and to keep the world safe,"" said WHO Secretary General, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. But ""the Poorest, the Marginalized, the back remained affected by the conflict, or banished from their homes"" in the vaccination rates, which was unacceptable, so Tedros. 95 percent of the population – globally, across countries and in the municipalities – would have to be covered to protect against the outbreak of vaccine-preventable diseases, remembered WHO and Unicef. Display According to the new report, lives almost half of the non-vaccinated children in 16 countries of the world: Afghanistan, the Central African Republic, Chad, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Ethiopia, Haiti, Iraq, Mali, Niger, Nigeria, Pakistan, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Syria and Yemen. The WHO and Unicef indicate that in 2018, have been reported worldwide almost 350,000 measles cases, more than twice as many as in 2017. ""Measles is a real-time indicator of where we have to do more to combat preventable diseases,"" said Henrietta Fore, Executive Director of Unicef. An outbreak on communities that fail because of access, cost, ""or in some places, also due to the self-satisfaction of"" vaccinations. ""We must make every effort to vaccinate every child,"" said Fore. For the first time, there are also data on the coverage with the vaccine against the human papilloma virus (HPV). By 2018, 90 countries, in which one of three girls living in the world had included the HPV vaccine in their national programmes. But only 13 of them are low-income countries. ""As a result, those who are most at risk from the devastating impact of cervical cancer, still the least access to the vaccine,"" said WHO and Unicef. Since the year 2000, the WHO and Unicef jointly produce annually the estimates of national immunization coverage rates for the member States. The estimated number of vaccinated children is calculated on the basis of population data provided by the so-called World Population Prospects by the United Nations to 2019. © hil/doctors sheet.de",17,"germany"

"5219","HIGHLY contagious measles outbreaks reached more than 20,000 across Europe last year after parents shunned vaccinations, health experts have warned.  The large-scale outbreaks occurred in countries where vaccine uptake was low or vaccine supplies were interrupted, according to the World Health Organisation (WHO).  3 These are the worst hit areas for measles outbreaks across Europe  Measles is highly contagious disease that can be prevented by having the vaccination, offered by the HSE as a single measles, mumps and rubella jab.  But last year cases across Europe spiked 400 per cent with 21,315 people affected and 35 people killed following a record low of 5,273 cases in 2016.  In 15 parts of the continent vaccination rates are falling behind and disease surveillance systems are under performing, the agency warned.  Of the cases recorded, 19,100 were recorded in eight of those 15 countries - Romania, Italy, Ukraine, Greece, Germany, Serbia, Tajikistan and France.  There were 21 confirmed cases of the disease in Ireland in 2017. 28 cases have been reported so far this year.  The HSE today said there have been 15 cases of measles in an outbreak in Limerick.  They said: “There are now fifteen cases of measles infection confirmed in Limerick City this year and a linked case confirmed in Dublin.  ""These cases have attended a number of community and healthcare settings across the city. Most cases so far are associated with the Ballinacurra Weston and Carew Park (Southill) area of the city.”  A number of “suspect cases” are also being investigated.  3 Measles starts with cold like symptoms before a rash develops a few days later Credit: Getty - Contributor  They added: “Official immunisation uptake statistics for the first dose of MMR (recommended at 12 months of age) show that uptake in Limerick city and county has been consistently just below the target of 95 per cent which the WHO recommends for population immunity over the past number of years.  “The best protection against measles is to be fully vaccinated with two doses of the MMR (Measles-Mumps-Rubella) vaccine. All children should get MMR at 12 months of age and the second dose at 4-5 years of age. If your child missed their MMR vaccine you should contact your GP.”  The WHO recommends a vaccination rate of 95 per cent to prevent outbreaks. In Ireland the rate last year was 93 per cent for most areas.  In some parts of Dublin it was 89 per cent. To contain the outbreak in Limerick the HSE has opened free MMR vaccine clinics.  Dr Zsuzsanna Jakab, the WHO's regional director for Europe, said: ""Every new person affected by measles in Europe reminds us that unvaccinated children and adults, regardless of where they live, remain at risk of catching the disease and spreading it to others who may not be able to get vaccinated.  ""Over 20 000 cases of measles, and 35 lives lost in 2017 alone, are a tragedy we simply cannot accept.  ""Elimination of both measles and rubella is a priority goal that all European countries have firmly committed to, and a cornerstone for achieving the health-related sustainable development goals.  ""This short-term setback cannot deter us from our commitment to be the generation that frees our children from these diseases once and for all.""  Measles is a highly infectious viral illness that can be very unpleasant and sometimes lead to serious complications.  As a result of vaccination rates it is unlikely a widespread outbreak will happen, but smaller, localised cases could happen in parts where large numbers of kids and babies have not had their vaccine.  Anyone can get measles if they haven't already had it, but it is more common in young children.  3 The HSE is advising the public to get a vaccine Credit: PA:Press Association  It starts with cold like symptoms before a rash develops a few days later.  The rash looks like small, red-brown blotches and can make a person feel very unwell.  Severe complications can occur, including miscarriage in pregnant women, brain swelling and the risk of death from pneumonia.  The virus is spread through coughing and sneezing and through close contact with infected individuals.  The biggest outbreaks recorded last year were in Romania and Italy.  Romania recorded 5,562 cases and Italy had some 5,006 cases.  The WHO has previously warned that measles is still regularly found in certain areas of the world and it can spread to any country, including those that have eliminated the disease.  Every un-immunised person, regardless of their age, is at risk of contracting the disease, especially in countries with low immunisation rates.

One dose is usually given to a child when they're 12-13 months old and a second dose is given before they start school, usually between three and five years old.  You or your child can be vaccinated at any point if you haven't been fully vaccinated before.  What are the symptoms of measles? Measles is highly contagious and is spread easily. The time between exposure to measles and developing the rash is usually 14 days (range 7-21 days). People are infectious from 4 days before rash starts until 4 days after. Measles symptoms include: High fever  Cough  Runny nose  Red eyes  Red rash that starts on head and spread down the body- this normally starts a few days after onset of illness. The rash consists of flat red or brown blotches, which can flow into each other. It lasts about 4-7 days.  Vomiting, diarrhoea and tummy pain may also happen.  Measures to prevent the spread of measles:  Do not go to work, school or creche.  Stay at home and phone your GP. Tell the doctor or nurse that you think you might have measles.  Stop visitors coming to the house to prevent the spread of measles.  Pregnant women who have been exposed to measles should seek medical advice as soon as possible.  How is measles treated?  In the majority of cases, measles clears within a couple of weeks.  To help alleviate your symptoms during this time, it may be advisable to take some painkillers, such as ibuprofen or paracetamol.  Drinking plenty of water and getting some rest will also help the body to recover from the virus.  In severe instances, patients may be admitted to hospital for treatment.",17,"ireland"
"5233","Everything parents need to know about measles as the outbreak continues  With 40 cases of the measles now confirmed across the country, here's everything you need to know about the disease.  We’re quite good at dealing with common childhood ailments.  Whether it be a case of the common cold, a tummy bug or a few sniffles, we’re very much at ease. But there are some instances that may occasionally be a cause for concern.  One of these is if our little one happens to get measles.  Measles is highly contagious and is caused by the rubeola virus. Although the virus can’t survive for that long on surfaces, it’s easily transmitted through tiny droplets, whether that be through sneezing, breathing or coughing.  Usually a measles rash will start off behind the ears - spreading to the face neck, arms and legs.  Measles brings with it symptoms of fever, loss of appetite, a feeling of being run down or tired, as well as maybe a cough. Often people can find greyish looking spots on the inside of their mouth called Koplik spots too.  Although measles is usually controlled it can make people more susceptible to pneumonia and ear infections. Of course, pneumonia is a serious illness especially in young children as it can be fatal.  German measles (rubella) shows less symptoms however congenital rubella can be fatal for newborns. If a pregnant woman contracts the disease, the virus can be passed on to the baby causing birth defects – heart defects, cataracts and learning disabilities. Sadly, the virus can also cause miscarriage or stillbirth.  For the most part, there’s no need for parents to worry as there are ways to both prevent the disease from taking hold and means of treating the symptoms with antiviral medicines available from your doctor.  Vaccinating against measles (MMR vaccine) has been shown to reduce the number of cases as well as countless deaths. Babies get this from their GP aged 12 months and again in junior infants.  If parents are planning to head off travelling with their baby, it’s recommended they get their baby vaccinated aged 6-11 months, as measles can be more common in other countries. It’s important to note that this might take up to four weeks to be any way effective.  Immunoglobulin is available for children, pregnant women and those with weakened immune systems. It’s given by drip, however it’s not a treatment, but rather a preventative measure for those at higher risk of developing a severe infection with greater complications.  In the vast amount of cases, measles is harmless but it’s important to ensure our kids have strong immune systems as an underlying weakness can prove fatal and is the likely cause of further ill health after contracting the disease.  To boost that immune system, sleep is vital for our youngsters. A good way to ensure they indulge in that precious snooze is plenty of playtime and exercise as a physically tired little one will drift off easily.  A relaxed environment plus plenty of nutritious greens and veggies plus lentils, beans, chickpeas etc. will work wonders and staying well hydrated with water is essential.  Most importantly though, there’s no need for us to panic - the likelihood is our little tot will get through common childhood illnesses just fine. Through increased awareness and access to medical advice, illnesses such as these should pass in good time.  For more information, look here.",17,"ireland"
"5262","THE HSE has confirmed that there are now 28 cases of measles in the Mid-West region, the majority of which are in Limerick city.  This week marks the fourth month since the measles outbreak was first announced by the HSE.  Three cases are linked to Clare, Dublin and Galway.  “There are also a number of cases in the South East area, who are possibly linked to the Limerick outbreak,” the HSE said.  The HSE is continuing to urge adults aged under 40 across the Mid-West to get the MMR vaccine which is available free from GPs and is warning that “measles is a serious public health issue”.  A spokesperson said: “Over two thirds of cases are aged between 15 and 50 years. As cases are continuing to occur the HSE is advising that adults who have not had measles infection in the past should ensure that they have had two doses of MMR vaccine.  “There is a risk of ongoing exposure especially for those whose work involves meeting large numbers of people e.g. people who work with children, people who work in healthcare, those who work in education, those working in public offices or public services and those who work in retail premises and those who attend healthcare premises either as patients or visitors.”  A free HSE MMR vaccination clinic is being held today with no appointment needed at Barrack View Primary Care Centre, Edward Street and next Thursday, April 12 at 3-4pm.  “It is so contagious that if one person has it, 90% of the people close to that person who are not immune will also become infected,” said a spokersperson.  “It is spread easily through coughing and sneezing. Measles can lead to serious complications such as pneumonia and inflammation of the brain and can, in rare cases, lead to a fatal disease of the brain which develops years after the infection. The mortality rate from measles infection is 1-2 per 1,000 cases.  “The only effective protection against measles is two doses of the MMR vaccine. Anyone who has not had two doses of MMR is at high risk of getting measles if they come in contact with someone who has it.”  Bernard Gloster, chief officer for HSE Mid-West, pictured, has urged people to avail of the vaccines. “They [the programmes] have been the subject of criticism and concern and views. People are entitled to their views, but certainly, when I see some of the commentary that I see about vaccines and I now look at the 25-plus cases of the outbreak of measles, it really for me is two and two will always be four. And we have to continue to get our protection levels up.”",17,"ireland"
"6622","Cases of measles worldwide have been increasing at ""alarming levels"", led by the 10 countries in which you are registering more than 74% of the total increase, and many other countries that were previously declared free of measles. To launch the alert is now Unicef is warning that, globally, 98 countries have registered more cases of measles in 2018 compared to 2017, ""undermining the progress against this disease is widely preventable, but potentially lethal."" The Ukraine, the Philippines and Brazil have seen the biggest increase in cases of measles from 2017 to 2018. Only in Ukraine there were 35.120 cases in 2018 and other 24.042 people were affected only in the first two months of 2019. In the Philippines so far this year there have been 12.736 cases and 203 deaths, compared to the 15.599 cases in 2018.

We have a vaccine that is safe, effective and economic against a highly infectious disease, a vaccine that has saved approximately a million lives each year in the last two decades - says Henrietta H. Fore, director-general, Unicef -. These cases will not have appeared suddenly, and the lack of action today will have disastrous consequences for the children tomorrow."" Health facilities are not adequate, civil conflict, lack of awareness, hesitation on vaccines, analyzes the Unicef, have resulted in epidemics in both countries, both developed and those in development.

The large outbreaks of measles affecting 1 in 4 european countries. In 2017 have been 15 countries (out of 53 in the european Region) in which there was a large outbreak of measles (100 or more cases). The highest number of people affected has been detected in Romania (5.562 cases), in Italy (5.006) and in Ukraine (4.767). In recent years, the common problems of the countries with the highest cases of measles have been on the decline in the total coverage of routine vaccinations, the coverage is consistently low among certain marginalized groups, interruptions in the supply of vaccines or disease surveillance systems are not very effective. Large outbreaks were also recorded in Greece (967) Germany (927), Serbia (702), Tajikistan (649), France (520), Russian Federation (408), Belgium (369) United Kingdom (282), Bulgaria (167), Spain (152), even Chechnya (146) Switzerland (105), many of which are in decline at the end of 2017. To be able to stop the spread of current outbreaks and to prevent new ones it should act on several fronts: awareness-raising of public opinion, the immunization of health care workers and other adults are particularly at risk, improve the logistics and planning of the offer. Each year, the audit Committee independent regional (RVC) examines data from countries and immunization activities, and recommended actions to resolve the specific challenges faced by countries.

At the end of 2016, 42 of the 53 countries in the region have interrupted the endemic transmission of measles. However, the outbreaks will continue to occur until all of the children and adults that are susceptible will be protected. The meeting held last 20 February 2018 between the health ministers of 11 countries had as an objective to discuss on how to work together to achieve the objectives set in the european action plan for immunization (EVAP) by 2020, including the elimination of measles and rubella.

In the last year, measles in children up to 36 months, we have reached the target of 95% (so-called “immunity of the flock”). Yet many prove the skeptics. For this reason, I would like to express my heartfelt prayer for the vaccination. The vaccines are safe and the figure emerges with absolute certainty, even from the first Report on Surveillance of Adverse Events to the Vaccine. In the years 2013 - 2017 have been only 56 serious adverse events attributable to vaccination in the face of almost 900 events reported and analyzed by regional experts and in almost all cases not attributable to vaccines. In all cases the parties interested, serious adverse events have been adequately cared for and are healed. It was mostly just episodes of high fever which required hospital treatment”. The councilor Ruggeri concludes with a final invitation: “If you have any questions or want to learn more, ask your doctor or pediatrician and, if you go on the web, draw information only from the official websites”.",17,"italy"

This is a bold first step in their controversial plan to eradicate half of the human race by 2025: The Plague Plan. “It’s going to take a lot of hard work, but with public support so strong we are confident that together we can kill half the population by the deadline,” said officials. And the public certainly seem to be supportive, as they make full use of the  total of 47 US states that currently allow non-medical vaccine exemptions.  “We still hope that West Virginia, Mississippi and California will eventually allow potential lethal and arbitrary exemptions as well,” a spokesman said, adding, “but in such a case as this with 47 states vs 3, it’s easy to see who the winners are.” If the three states indeed do continue to oppose the spread of completely preventable and debilitating diseases, human carriers will be brought into the most populated areas and told to lurk around the local Target and Costco, shaking hands with people.  Measles was declared eliminated in the USA in the year 2,000, with this year having the highest number of confirmed cases since then.  Supporters of The Plague Plan argue that this shows just how much can be done with previously eliminated diseases in a short amount of time when you have the right marketing campaign. For example,  earlier this week a Texas lawmaker called scientific research on vaccine development, “sorcery”.  This comment was enthusiastically backed by proponents of The Plague Plan, as it plays on the rhetoric of the manipulative, the fears of the suspicious and the vulnerability of the uneducated, “which is pretty much the sweet spot in terms of getting support for something so mind-blowingly stupid,” a Plague Plan supporter argued. “If our politicians can keep talking about magic and religion rather than facts and science, I think we will easily have our devastating plague in place and doing what it does best by the 2025 deadline.

"4139","Measles are one of the classic children's diseases, but are highly contagious: it Always comes to that is why in schools and kindergartens to measles epidemics, although it has been around for decades, vaccination. Why measles are not harmless. Measles (medical Morbilli) is a typical children's disease and everywhere in the world. In Germany, the measles since the introduction of the measles vaccination has been 40 years of relatively rare, but extinct, they are not. Meanwhile, just as many adults are developing the actual children's diseases the infection often leads to dangerous complications. In addition, the proportion of very small children under a year, with measles infection is steadily increasing. Rash: What kind of disease is behind it? Again and again there are outbreaks of Measles in Germany, in Spite of effective vaccination, it always comes back to outbreaks of Measles and, in isolated cases, even death in some cases. The disease fluctuate in numbers: While there are in some years only a few hundred cases of infection, it comes every two to three years of severe outbreaks, most recently in 2015 with 2.464 confirmed measles infections in Germany. The stated goal of reducing infections to less than 80 cases per year, is not yet reached, therefore. A vaccination Coverage of 95 per cent would be necessary in the case of measles it is, however, only about 92 percent. Measles: vaccination protects against infection Prevention measles can be reliably by means of a vaccination. The Standing Committee on vaccination of the Robert Koch Institute (STIKO) recommends the first measles vaccination between the age of the eleventh and 14. Month life. In exceptional cases (for example, after contact with a measles-sick) is the vaccination from the age of nine months is advisable. A consequence of vaccination should be completed between the fully 15. 23. Month of vaccination to be made in advance Only according to the past. Mostly will be used for two vaccinations with a combination vaccine that immunizes against Mumps and rubella (MMR vaccine) or, in addition, against chicken pox (MMRV vaccine). Vaccination with combination vaccines for children are not more dangerous than simple vaccines. You have the great advantage that children have to leave the unpleasant syringe for the vaccination of rare endure. What Impfmasern are? About 15 percent of all children after the MMR vaccination to a not already, usually about a week to ten days after vaccination. The so-called Impfmasern occur in a very attenuated Form of moderate fever, slight rash and a slight runny nose. Impfmasern are completely harmless and not contagious. After they occur frequently, parents should be prepared and the planned measles vaccination, for example, in the week before the family vacation. The most important vaccination Who should be vaccinated against measles to vaccinate? Not only children should be vaccinated, but also teenagers and adults who do not have full Vaccination protection. It is recommended that the measles vaccination for: babies between the ages of eleven and 14 months, Previously unvaccinated children and young adults born after 1970 and not at all or only once vaccinated are people with unclear vaccination status, women with desire to have children Everyone who works in health care or education facilities What should Patients do after a measles contact? Who had a sick contact with a Measles and is not vaccinated, should, if possible, go quickly to the family doctor or pediatrician: after a possible infection to the onset of the disease can be prevented with post-exposure prophylaxis or, at least, the course will be mitigated. However, this prophylactic vaccination must be made within three days after possible infection with measles, otherwise it is ineffective. Measles in babies and in pregnancy measles bleeding in infants is often particularly difficult. Normally, babies have a nest protection, which lasts approximately until the sixth month of life: From their mother they get transferred antibodies, which will protect you from many infectious diseases. However, just before the disease that has made the mother of themselves, or against which it is vaccinated. Dangerous measles infection is due to the high fever during the pregnancy. In contrast to rubella, no malformations in the Baby are after a measles infection, although to be expected, however, it comes at about a quarter of the cases of preterm birth. Women with desire for children should therefore, if possible, three months before a planned pregnancy measles vaccination. During pregnancy, the vaccination against measles is not permitted, since the vaccine is a Live. It is, however, but accidentally in the case of a Pregnant women for vaccination is not a reason for a termination of pregnancy. First Symptoms measles flu are similar In the early stage of measles with flu-like symptoms.

Measles can be seen only on the typical skin rash Since the symptoms in measles first of all, non-specific, leads to parents with an affected child in the way usually only after the appearance of the typical rash to the doctor. This will make the diagnosis of measles by a visual and tactile diagnosis, and this may be done by a laboratory study, as other children's diseases such as scarlet fever or rubella with similar symptoms. It is usually wanted to the virus-specific antibody in the blood.

Under the emergency, Rockland County banned non-vaccinated minors from public places in a bid to prevent the once-eliminated disease from spreading.  Planned for 30 days from midnight on Wednesday, the emergency comes during a US surge in measles cases, linked to an anti-vaccination movement.  “We have already seen over 500 (new vaccinations) in the last couple of days,” Rockland County Executive Ed Day said on CNBC TV.  “People simply understand now that we are serious about this,” added Day, whose district is 40 kilometres north of downtown New York.  “We believe we are on a right path now to get at least a 93% immunisation rate with the first shot,” close to the level considered necessary to end the outbreak.  Although measles was declared officially eliminated from the United States in 2000, outbreaks have occurred in five states this year, according to the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).  The outbreaks are linked to travellers who brought the illness back from other countries, and the majority of people who got measles were unvaccinated, the CDC said.  The World Health Organisation has warned that the growing anti-vaccine movement in richer nations constitutes a top-10 global health threat.  The phenomenon has adherents in several western nations, including Britain and France, but is particularly high profile in the US.  Between January 1 and March 21, there were 314 cases of measles in the United States, the CDC said.  Rockland County, with a population of more than 300,000, had registered 157 cases as of yesterday.  Despite major vaccination campaigns since the outbreak began in October, around 27% of minors aged one to 18 in the county remained unvaccinated, Day said earlier in the week.  The worst affected neighbourhoods are those with a high ultra-Orthodox Jewish population, where many oppose vaccines on religious grounds.  Many vaccines are theoretically mandatory for children to attend school in the United States. But 47 out of 50 states allow exemptions on religious, moral, or personal grounds.

In the Immunization Programme measles vaccination of adults listed in the group of vaccines recommended. First we need to determine whether the patient was a child was vaccinated or he was sick with measles. This will be possible if we have the opportunity to look at the medical documentation, infectious disease or vaccination history recorded in medical history. In the case of documentation of administration of two doses of vaccine, there is no need repeat vaccination or dose of the corrector. Not always, however, a reliable documentation possible. Therefore, in case of doubt, it is worth noting the level of antibodies przeciwodrowych.

With respect to measles vaccination, the report indicates that the vaccination coverage for the first dose and evaluated for two years, has been to 99% by 2018.

Between January and June of this year, seven countries reported more than 1,000 infected: France, germany, Greece, Italy, Russia, Serbia, Georgia and Ukraine, but this last one was the clear leader, with more than 23-thousand cases. The monthly reports of the member States refer to the 37-deaths due to measles this year, and Serbia is the country most affected with 14 cases. The regional director of WHO, Zsuzsanna Jakab, has considered the increase in cases, “dramatic”, and he appealed to all the members of the european union to apply, without delay, measures that are appropriate to the context in order to prevent the disease from spreading even more. “Health starts with prevention,” he recalled. The WHO has pointed out that the measles virus is “very contagious” and transmitted rapidly between people at risk, noting that, in order to prevent outbreaks, it is necessary to, at least, an immunization coverage of 95% with two doses of a vaccine each and every year, in every community. In addition to this, he says, it is essential to be able to come in and vaccinate children, adolescents, and adults who have not been vaccinated in a systematic manner in the past. Although the coverage of the vaccine has passed in the last year, from 88% to 90% of all children under the age of vaccination, there still exist large differences in the level of the local, said the WHO, which states there are communities with up to 95% coverage, and others who are below 70%. According to the latest figures from the Commission to the European region for the purposes of verifying the elimination of measles and rubella, and 43 of its 53 member countries have already stopped transmission of endemic measles.

"48810","The paper, published today, says that “because of gaps in vaccine coverage, measles outbreaks have occurred in all regions, with an estimated 110-thousand deaths related to the disease. Using data from the updated models of the projection of the disease, the report provides estimates of broader trends in measles in the last 17 years, showing that since the year 2000, more than 21 million lives have been saved through immunisation against the disease. However, the number of reported cases has increased by more than 30% of the entire world, beginning in 2016. In the americas, the eastern mediterranean region, and Europe experienced the largest surges in the fall of 2017, with the western pacific being the only region of the World Health Organization (WHO), where the incidence of measles has declined. “The re-emergence of measles, a serious cause for concern, with an outbreak of prolonged to occur between the regions, and particularly in the countries that have reached, or are close to achieving elimination of measles,” said Soumya Swaminathan, deputy director general for programs of the world health organization. According to the report, “without urgent action to boost vaccination coverage and to identify the population with unacceptably high levels of children with immunization, there is a risk of losing decades of progress in protecting children and communities from this devastating disease, but completely preventable”. Measles is a serious disease and is highly contagious. It may cause some complications, debilitating, or life threatening, including encephalitis (an infection that leads to swelling of the brain), diarrhea, and dehydration, severe pneumonia, infection of the ear and permanent loss of vision. Babies, toddlers, and young children with malnutrition and a weak immune system are particularly vulnerable to complications and death. The disease is preventable with two doses of a vaccine that's safe and effective. For many years, however, the global coverage with the first dose of vaccine against measles stood at 85%. The report notes that this figure “is a far cry from the 95% required to prevent outbreaks, and leave too many people in too many communities that are susceptible to the disease. The second dose coverage of 67 per cent “. The increase in cases of measles, “is a deeply disturbing, but not surprising. The complacency about the disease, and the spreading of false reports about the vaccine in Europe with a health system on the brink of collapse in Venezuela, and in pockets of fragility and the low coverage of immunization in Africa is to combine a revival of the global measles even after years of progress,” said the administrator for the Gavi Alliance for Vaccines Seth Berkley, who is quoted in the document, the world health organization. “The existing strategy need to change. There's got to be more of an effort to increase the coverage of routine immunization and strengthening health systems. If not, we will continue to chase after an outbreak at a time,” he said. The report notes that, in response to the recent outbreaks, the local health agencies are calling for investment in sustainable systems, immunization campaigns, coupled with efforts to strengthen immunization services on a routine creasing that these efforts should focus in particular on reaching out the communities that are most marginalised, including those affected by conflict and displacement. They also require actions to build a broad-based public support for immunization activities, while you are fighting the lack of information and unwillingness on the part in regards to the vaccines, where they exist, he says. “Investments are supported that are needed to strengthen the delivery of immunization services, and to use every opportunity to deliver the vaccine to those who need them,” said Robert Linkins, chief of the Department for Control of fast-track Diseases and Surveillance of Diseases Preventable by Vaccines on the Centers for disease Control and Prevention (cdc), USA. and the chairman of the Management Team of the Initiative to the Measles and Rubella vaccine.

"53610","The first thing you need to do in order to solve a problem is to get to know him. The search for the causes, to see their edges, notice how it evolves and evaluate its size and the impact it can make. I don't think that it is only in the domain of scientific thought, that it should be that way. On the contrary, such a method is the best, no matter what is the nature of the situation with which we are confronted. I am writing this, by the way of the torrent of comments that I have read and heard about the current outbreak of measles, the death of a 17-year-old, as you would expect – all the more intensified. Except in very rare exceptions, all of these reviews have opted to zurzir to injury, the adults have not been vaccinated, and the parents of the children who do not have all the vaccinations, it is because they are irresponsible and negligent, it is because they have joined the campaign antivacinas, in both cases, it's because they put at risk the health and life of third parties or of the children themselves. What is to be, as this is the only way, it would no doubt be unacceptable, inexcusable. Shocked me in the style of, and the terms of use and the ease and simplicity with which they accuse the parents and the families, as if everything could be reduced to a criticism of his behavior. Without the disguise, there have been a few calls for the persecution, punishment, segregation, into a downward spiral of aggression and irrationality, which, surprisingly, has been extended to us, to the right and to the left of it. Then there were the various awards for solving the problem: enforce the requirement of the immunization, remove the parents to protect the children and prohibit the enrollment of a child for the vaccine, withhold social security benefits to the parents of the children have not been vaccinated, take them to a benefit in the IRS, to freeze their bank accounts. There are even some who suggest the practice, and remember that prison is not the place of the crime. According to some estimates, there are between ten and fifteen thousand children vaccinated in the Uk. Does anyone think that in the Uk there are so many of the parents are negligent, or are fans of the fashion antivacinas? I think it would have been much better, and the commentators, if they had begun by trying to answer the question. Because it is clear that the answer is “no”. The main reason for that is explained in that paragraph, is the social exclusion that many families live far away from the NHS and what it represents to the life, the habits, the duties, the routine of families in an integrated way. In these families, there is no vaccine as there is no money for food, medicine, a job, a house, a school, or in books. Or your family doctor. And it's much less fashionable antivacinas. Social exclusion and the NHS, which she left in reach of all, and to all of the hand is the one that best explains those tens of thousands of children with no vaccinations. Of these children, or otherwise, of their parents, they are more the victims than the perpetrators. The victims of a society and a state that they fail in their duty, and the duty to include them and ensure their rights. Certainly, it is carelessness of some parents, too, who has been left to be deceived by the costumes pseudocientíficas anti-vaccination. But then again, all of this is marginal, it is not large enough to explain the sudden surge in the course of which, significantly, has reached health care professionals and to people who get it. You insist that the explanation is to miss the mark.Public health is full of (bad) examples of the ways that you do not have to be followed in the control and fighting of disease-related behaviours. The doctrines of prohibitionist, punitive, heavy-handed, mandatory punishment, it can be quiet in conscience, but they fail on all fronts. For the requirement changes, what's that? Overcome the exclusion, and that extends to the NHS, convinced the guy? Of course, it's not. I think it's the government, the authorities and health professionals – in the vast majority of cases, they have been as well. But it is necessary to go further into the remedies: it is not enough for the schools to inform the health centres, the students who do not have the vaccine, or to force them into quarantine, it is necessary to be responsible, and to provide for the health centers and the means to enable them to contact their families to arrange a meeting to explain the benefits of vaccination to convince you by persuasion, and then apply the vaccine in a shortage. I do not believe that there is a mother or a father, who do not. Not if you can sit around and wait for them to show up. Or is it that the children get the measles.

Play slideshow 1 of 13 Symptoms of Measles  GETTY Measles outbreak: Countries are being urged to be vigilant  Countries at highest risk The WHO has warned that as measles remains endemic in most parts of the world, it can spread to any country, including those which have eliminated the disease. It said: “Every un- or under-immunised person regardless of age is therefore at risk of contracting the disease; this is especially true in those countries where persistently low immunisation rates increase the risk of a large outbreak with possible tragic consequences.” The WHO Regional Office for Europe is working closely with the national health authorities of countries at risk and in the midst of large measles outbreaks to plan and implement appropriate response measures. These include enhancing surveillance and identifying and immunising those at heightened risk of infection.",16,"uk"

Rock County in New York state has also banned those under 18 years of age and NOT vaccinated against the disease from all public places.  2 Anti-vaxx parents have caused a state of emergency during measles outbreak  Although police officers will not be patrolling the streets to check vaccination records, if someone is found to have dodged the jab their case will be referred to prosecutors.  Parents will also be held accountable for their children if they are found in violation of the newly-declared 30-day state of emergency.  Officials say there are no religious exemptions, and revealed they have already been working with local rabbis who have been encouraging their members to get vaccinated.  According to the emergency declaration, public places are defined as a place where more than 10 persons meet for purposes such as civic, governmental, social, or religious functions.  Places for recreation or shopping, or for food or drink consumption, or awaiting transportation, or for daycare or educational purposes, or for medical treatment are also included in the ban.  ""As this outbreak has continued, our inspectors have begun to meet resistance from those they are trying to protect,"" said Rockland County Executive Ed Day said.  ""They have been hung up on or told not to call again. They've been told, 'We're not discussing this, do not come back' when visiting the homes of infected individuals as part of their investigations.  ANTI-VAXXER MYTHS  ""This type of response is unacceptable and irresponsible. It endangers the health and well-being of others and displays a shocking lack of responsibility and concern for others in our community.""  Day said the intention of the state of emergency isn't to arrest people, but to educate the community and gain compliance.  ""This is an opportunity for everyone in their community to do the right thing,"" said Day.  The news comes after social media giants were told to do more to crack down on 'damaging' anti-vaccination myths, by UK Health Secretary Matt Hancock.  He said social networking sites, of which the biggest include Facebook and Twitter, must police the spread of anti-vaxxers' propaganda.  Cases of measles in Europe have already reached an eight-year high - sparking a rise in the number of cases in the UK, health bosses have warned.  Anyone travelling in the continent is urged to make sure their vaccination against the disease is up to date to stop the illness from spreading.  The World Health Organisation (WHO) warned the number of cases of the highly infectious disease during 2018 have already outstripped any year since 2010.

"44714","Analysis: Opening up to greater regional integration and economic diversification presents public health challenges to Oman's policymakers, writes Scott Weiner.  A $13 million nation-wide measles vaccination campaign has just wrapped up in the Sultanate of Oman. The campaign, which started in May, offered a free vaccine to between 1.6 and 1.8 million Omani citizens and residents between 20 and 35 years of age.    Oman's Ministry of Health offered measles vaccines at schools, sports clubs and mosques. Mobile teams also distributed the vaccine in less populated areas.    While it appeared to be a standard public health intervention, it may be understood better as an effect of Oman's slow but steady shift toward a more regionalised economic posture. It illustrates the foreign policy challenges Oman faces as it tries to shed its reputation as a ""Hermit Kingdom"" and become more regionally and globally connected.    It also also highlights the domestic challenge of responding to frustrations over low employment in Oman, particularly among young people. Oman will likely never seek to be an international hub on the level of Dubai - nonetheless, greater regional integration will have domestic consequences, particularly with regards to social welfare provision.    Ultimately, Oman's vaccination campaign is an example of the side-effects of the sultanate's regional policy shifts, and the unintended consequences that may result from them.    The vaccination campaign came in response to an uptick in measles cases in the sultanate over the past two years. In 2016 there were 111 measles cases in Oman and there have been 85 reported so far in 2017. These figures are comparable to the United States - even though the US has a population 73 times that of Oman.    The measles vaccine has been offered in Oman since 1975. Its introduction was highly successful, reducing measles cases in Oman from 679 in 1981 to only 15 in 2001. Measles, however, is a highly contagious virus and outbreaks can occur even among a mostly vaccinated population. Similar outbreaks have led to national measles vaccination campaigns in Saudi Arabia in 2013 and in the United Arab Emirates in November 2015.    Omani health professionals and government officials say that the greater number of foreigners entering Oman from neighbouring countries for tourism, business or work appears to be causing a rise in the numbers of measles cases they are seeing.  The campaign likely began in Dhofar in order to immunise the population ahead of the khareef tourist season when people from across Oman and the Gulf region flock to the regional capital, Salalah      None of the major statements from the Ministry of Health mention South Asian expatriate workers in particular as a culprit of the uptick in measles cases. However, information campaigns about the vaccine in Dhofar province were conducted in Pakistani and Bengali and online campaigns included translations into Indonesian, Hindi and Filipino.    This suggests the government may be reluctant to publicly associate the disease with South Asian expatriates while also seeking to ensure they are vaccinated.    The first phase of Oman's vaccination campaign began in Dhofar Province. While Muscat has seen 18 confirmed measles cases in 2017, Dhofar has seen none - but the campaign likely began here in order to immunise the population ahead of the khareef tourist season when people from across Oman and the Gulf region flock to the regional capital, Salalah.    The campaign also included Wusta despite the province's lack of major population centres, save for the port at Duqm. Because of its small population, officials were able to vaccinate more than half the target population in the province in just two days.    While the first phase of the campaign was scheduled to end on May 20, it was extended until May 27 to increase the number of residents who would be vaccinated. The second phase covered the rest of the country, including the capital and the major port city of Sohar.    While the formal campaign concluded on September 16, the vaccine was made available until September 30. According to the Ministry of Health at least 78 percent of the target population in phase two received a vaccination.    Oman's measles vaccination campaign sits at the intersection of the sultanate's largest foreign and domestic policy initiatives.    On the foreign policy side, regional economic integration has been an important element of Oman's foreign policy. While the sultanate has a policy of neutrality on matters of foreign policy, it enjoys economic cooperation with countries across the Gulf region - including Iran.  Oman's measles vaccination campaign is an example of the higher susceptibility to regional phenomena faced by the sultanate as a consequence of a strategy of greater regional integration      In recent years, Oman has expanded its capacity for regional integration with the opening of the port at Duqm, drawing interest from India and China. It is also expanding the terminal at Muscat International Airport, expanding passenger service at regional airports, and expanding service by regional carriers which intend to turn the sultanate into a second regional hub.    The result has been significantly increased business and tourism traffic between Oman and other Gulf Arab states.    Oman's measles vaccination campaign is an example of the higher susceptibility to regional phenomena faced by the sultanate as a consequence of a strategy of greater regional integration. While such phenomena include economic and political instability in the wake of depressed oil prices, public health concerns - such as measles - also factor into this more regional orientation and require policy interventions.    The secondary effects of strategic policy shifts are often difficult to predict. Nevertheless, it will be important for Oman to anticipate that increased regional ties will change the portfolio of issues it faces.    Domestic factors will also affect the country's future issues. Oman produces significantly less oil per capita than its regional counterparts. Therefore, a diversified economy is more important to Oman than other countries in the region with higher per capita oil rents. Ultimately, Oman seeks to reduce oil revenue from 44 percent of GDP in 2016 to 26 percent by 2020.    In addition, job creation has become more of a priority for Oman's government in the wake of protests in 2011, driven partially by unemployment. The government's National Tourism Strategy, which began in June 2016, seeks to create more than 500,000 jobs by 2040. Increased tourism in Oman, however, will have effects on Omani society including increased exposure to visitors from countries with higher rates of communicable diseases.    As the government looks to provide its citizens with employment and expand its regional integration it will also need to consider these side-effects of its new policies. The measles vaccination campaign is one example of dealing with just one such consequence. The relative success of the campaign suggests that Oman is capable of meeting the challenges that come with greater regional integration, both at home and abroad.

"45613","Despite there being pockets of the global populace who are convinced vaccinating against preventable diseases is somehow a bad thing, the World Health Organisation has announced the the UK has eliminated measles for the very first time.  This doesn't mean the number of measles infections has dropped to zero, unfortunately, but WHO considers a disease 'eliminated' when it has stopped freely circulating for at least three years. This news comes a week after it was announced England had reached its target of having 95 per cent of children under the age of five receive their first vaccination against measles, mumps, and rubella.  Unfortunately health experts have warned that the news shouldn't lead to complacency, because there are currently several large measles outbreak happening across Europe. The news also doesn't mean the virus has been completely wiped out. There were 500 cases of measles reported in the UK last year, many of which were linked to music festival attendees. Thankfully herd immunity means it wasn't able to spread very far.  So far there have been 100 reported cases in England this year, along with small clusters of infection in Wales and Northern Ireland which have been linked to a major outbreak in Romania.  The UK had been on track to eliminating measles before, but vaccination rates suffered after the (now debunked) research from Andrew Wakefield that claimed there was a link between the MMR vaccine and autism. But luckily things are back on track, with the UK joining 41 other European countries that have managed to eliminate measles. Good job, people. [BBC News]  More Health Posts:",16,"uk"

According to the National Immunization Schedule, children, adolescents, and adults born after 1970 and does not have a history of disease should be vaccinated with 2 doses of vaccine for measles.",16,"greece"
"19816","A manifest concern for the outbreaks of measles represent officials of the World Health Organization (WHO). As reported features, the disease is increasing throughout the world and particularly in Europe and in Latin America, partly because parents avoid vaccines. The report pointed out that in 2017, reported official's 173,000 cases of measles in the world – a jump of over 30% compared with 2016. The actual number of cases, however, it is estimated in 6,7 million cases last year. According to estimates, 110,000 people died in 2017 from the disease, mostly children, when it can be prevention via vaccination. “What is most disturbing from this increase, is that we see the continuous transmission of measles in countries that have not had outbreaks for many years,” said Martin Friede, director of the Department of Immunization, Vaccines and Biology, WHICH, according to the agency Reuters. Measles is a highly infectious disease that can be fatal or cause loss of hearing and mental disorders in children. It is often a harbinger of other outbreaks, such as the diphtheria in a population, which has not been vaccinated. Germany, Russia, and Venezuela have had large outbreaks of measles last year, resulting in the withdrawal of their certification of interruption of transmission, said the officials. “Looking at the data of 2018, we observe an increasing trend, which seems to be maintained, and this worries us,” he concluded emphatically, mr. Friede. From the side of Katrina Kretsinger, doctor WHO, said: “At this stage the 2018 seems that we will have more events from 2017”. The global vaccination coverage for the first dose of vaccine against measles has stalled at 85%, while 95% is necessary for the prevention of exacerbations, the report of THAT. The second installment covers 67%. The majority of children who are lost (to vaccination) they live in the poorest and most disadvantaged communities around the world, many of which are at war. In some parts of Europe and Latin America, the “misinformation or mistrust of the immunisation” discourage vaccination, but the vaccine is safe. “We're losing ground with the measles, sometimes because people forget that this is a scary disease,” concludes the report.",16,"greece"
"19516","400% increase in the incidence of measles occurred in 2017 in Europe, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). In total last year recorded 21.000 new cases of the euphemistically called ""childhood disease"", but which presents high rates of mortality in adult patients born after 1970. Thirty-five patients have lost a total of their lives by the rise of the phenomenon, of which the three in our country. The most recent incident occurred a week ago, when a 35-year-old ended up after she fell ill from a relative of a person who was infected by the virus of measles. This phenomenon, which is observed at least since the beginning of the current decade, according to scientists is largely due to the dispersion of controversial medical research via the Internet, as well as to doctors who encourage their patients to not vaccinate supposedly because ""their lives are in danger"". It is emphasized that due to the <U+03B1><U+03BD><U+03C4><U+03B9><U+03B5>µß<U+03BF><U+03BB><U+03B9><U+03B1><U+03C3><U+03C4><U+03B9><U+03BA><U+03CC> movement, which is aware of the increase in many european countries, including Greece, and is blamed for thousands of deaths of people in Europe in 2017 from diseases that in years past it was considered that they had addressed or even eliminated. Fourth, Greece! Greece holds the fourth place among the member - states of the European Union in cases of incorrectly perceived by many as a ""childhood disease"". Especially in our country, compared with what applies in the rest of Europe, the non-vaccination for the measles virus has two readings. On the one hand, as in other european countries, many parents don't vaccinate their children, influenced by the <U+03B1><U+03BD><U+03C4><U+03B9><U+03B5>µß<U+03BF><U+03BB><U+03B9><U+03B1><U+03C3><U+03C4><U+03B9><U+03BA><U+03CC> movement. On the other hand, however, played a large role in the high rates of incompletely vaccinated children played and the economic crisis in Greece, mainly in the first years of the phenomenon"", as emphasized in the ""Mouse"" a cardiologist and director of the Social Practice of Greek George Cough. ""Especially the two years 2012-13 came to the community Clinic, a lot of parents with their children, which they could not have the necessary vaccines, including the measles – either because they were unemployed or uninsured, either because they were unable to cover even this small participation rate for the purchase of the vaccine. So a lot of kids at that time remained non-vaccinated"" he adds. Blank vaccination ""Poorly the population believes that measles is a childhood disease"", as ""adults become ill, although more rarely than measles, but more serious than the kids"" said in a recent interview to the Athens News Agency the president of the c. d. c. Theofilos Rosenberg and pointed out that ""approximately 30% of cases of measles will experience one or more complications, is more frequent in children under the age of 5 years and in adults older than 20 years"". He pointed out that ""the epidemic does not seem to stop, as there are pockets of the population with inadequate vaccination coverage"". From the start of the epidemic in Greece, a year ago, approximately, to the 15th of February, according to the CDC, have been recorded 1.588 cases of measles – the most in Southern Greece and especially in Roma communities, because of the very high rates of unvaccinated people. The fact that the deaths were individuals unvaccinated or incompletely vaccinated, in accordance with the Will. Rosenberg, ""underlines the need for administration of two doses of vaccine against measles"". ""The majority of cases of measles in the general population of Greek citizenship was adults over the age of 25"" comments on the occasion of the last fatal case of the disease involving a 35-year-old woman, who had been vaccinated, but only with one dose. Considers, finally, that emphasis should be placed on the completion of the vaccination to the employees in the area of Health in order to protect themselves and their patients. The <U+039A><U+0395><U+0395><U+03A0><U+039B><U+039D><U+039F> recommends to the general population, minors and adults born after 1970, vaccination with a mixed vaccine of measles -mumps - rubella (vaccine <U+039C><U+039C>R) with the necessary two doses of the vaccine. In accordance with the National Vaccination Program, to the vulnerable groups of the population if exposed to the virus of measles is infants, children, adolescents, and adults born after 1970 and does not have a history of disease. They should be vaccinated with two doses of vaccine for measles. The oxymoron is that, while Greece is ranked in fourth place among the member states of the eu.E. the abstention from vaccination, at the same time presents a sizable consumption – and expenditure – antibiotic drugs. Overconsumption of antibiotics Alarming proportions it has taken in our country, the excessive consumption of antibiotics, since surveys indicate that 75% of Greeks takes antibiotics without the need. This has the result that some microbes are now resistant to many antibiotics and is in danger the life of patients from infections any easily treated so long ago. ""The consumption of antibiotics in cases of viral infections not only be futile, but instead may have very aggravating consequences for patients. For the exacerbation of the phenomenon, observed for many years in Greece, is the responsibility of both the employees in the area of Health (doctors - pharmacists) who either <U+03C5><U+03C0><U+03B5><U+03C1><U+03C3><U+03C5><U+03BD><U+03C4><U+03B1><U+03B3><U+03BF><U+03B3><U+03C1><U+03B1><U+03C6><U+03BF><U+03CD><U+03BD> antibiotics or the grant to the citizens without a prescription, such as the State, which all these years have not ensured the existence of a strict legislative framework in relation to the prescribing and selling of antibiotics,"" says the ""P,"" the C.

The reduction in vaccination rates has resulted in approximately 300% increase in cases of measles by the year 2018. Britain in fact is no longer ""free from measles"" because of the fall of immunity to measles, mumps and rubella. There is a need to be covered at least 95% of the population in order to prevent outbreaks of these diseases. Among children aged two years in Britain, the vaccination rates fell from 91,2% in 2017-2018 to 90,3% in 2018-2019, which is the lowest recorded rate since 2010. Measles causes a cough, redness and fever, is very contagious and the virus can be spread by coughing, sneezing, and even exhaling. From the moment the virus enters the respiratory tract, penetrates the cells of the immune system that are located on the surface between the lung and circulatory function. From there, the virus multiplies and spreads to the cells of the immune system throughout the body. To date, the investigators have reason for long-term effect of measles on the immune system since they were recorded many deaths from other infections that follow measles, but also due to the fact that the virus affects directly the immune system. In the first recent research on the issue, which was conducted by the <U+0392><U+03B5><U+03BB><U+03AF><U+03C3><U+03BB><U+03B1>ß<U+03B1> Petrova of the british institute of ""Wellcome Sanger"" and the University of Cambridge, it seemed that the measles corrode two different sides of defense of the immune system. In this context it was gathered volunteers from three different schools in the Netherlands to participate in the survey. The researchers took blood samples from healthy non-vaccinated children aged from 4 to 17 years of age and attended the course together with this 77 of children who were infected with the virus of measles to the outbreak of the disease in 2013. To deal with the infections the immune system is based on the continuous pumping of a wide variety of immune cells, each of which with slightly different receptors on their surfaces, with the capacity to recognize virtually any pathogen. ""The greater variety of immune cells we have, the better,"" said Petrova. It was observed that, after the measles, the children were much more limited variety. The immune system creates memory cells that remain in blood circulation allowing the body to quickly recognize and eliminate infections with which it has been faced in the past. However, after the measles, it appeared that many of the memory cells of the immune system no longer existed in the blood of children, a situation which the researchers called ""immune amnesia"". This may mean that children who contract measles need to <U+03BE><U+03B1><U+03BD><U+03B1><U+03B5>µß<U+03BF><U+03BB><U+03B9><U+03B1><U+03C3><U+03C4><U+03BF><U+03CD><U+03BD> for diseases for which they have already been vaccinated. The children were monitored by the researchers for about six weeks, so it was not clear how long it would take the immune system to return to its normal function. The Petrova suggesting that it takes about five years for a full recovery. The <U+0395><U+03BB><U+03BB><U+03AD><U+03C4><U+03B6> with its own research team, using a tool called VirScan (this is a tool that the <U+0395><U+03BB><U+03BB><U+03AD><U+03C4><U+03B6> and his colleagues presented the 2015, this detects all viruses that have infected a person, using only one drop of blood. The VirScan can detect antibodies against HIV, influenza, herpes and hundreds of other viruses), examined the antibodies in the blood and found that 11% to 73% of the antibodies were eliminated after the measles. The triple measles – mumps – rubella (MMR) does not create immunosuppression, with the result that it protects lifelong from measles, without, however, causing vulnerability to other diseases. The Petrova stated that the treatment of doubt about vaccines is a complex task and underlines the need for constant provision of adequate reliable scientific findings about the importance of vaccines, Jonathan Bal , professor of molecular biology at the University of Nottingham, stressed that the results of the investigations in combination with the decreasing trend in vaccination in the last few years remind us how important is immunisation not only for the prevention of measles and for the prevention of subsequent complications.",16,"greece"

And if vaccination can prevent the complications around the infection, however, it is in decline, a movement of anti-vaccination forces. A decline especially visible in Italy, where by 2017, the measles vaccination coverage was more than 85%, while the WHO recommends a rate of 95% for this to be effective.

Measles very rare second disease is years later began the brain of a general infection, i.e. subacute sclerosing panenkefaliitti (SSPE). It occurs in one in 100 000 sufferers per and leads slowly to death, specialist Mia Kontio Health and welfare department told. Measles too protective the MMR vaccine can also be sure, if you're not sure of your vaccine protection in place. – All, which protects against measles, mumps or rubella is unclear, have the right to receive two MMR vaccination. The vaccine can apply on their own health from among its free. Is measles a dangerous disease, Health and welfare of the institution special expert Mia Kontio? – The vast majority of infected people get sick with measles without severe symptoms. Usually out on a high with a fever and ihottumalla, who went over about a week. – In recent years, inter alia, of the European epidemic is, however, 20-40% of sufferers have been hospitalized. Especially for small children, adults and individuals with resistance to a debilitating disease or medication, is disease often more serious. – Also need to remember that in the past no individual, even of the fatal diseases all over the news. In finland, the report was still in the 60-70-ies before vaccination begins each year 10 000 to 40 000 cases, i.e. the number of deaths has not been great but I don't believe that any deaths would in modern times be accepted, when used is a safe vaccine. Also fundamental to healthy can become a serious sequelae, such as pneumonia or encephalitis, the Bear recalls. Where can you know that is ill with the measles? – History of measles was recorded sometimes clinic/vaccination card. Almost all prior to the 1970s are born infected with measles. However, it is possible that especially in the 1960 - and 1970-century-born have not been ill with measles or received vaccination against measles. Against measles vaccine is the MMR vaccine. How large part of the finns got it. Vaccination coverage has been almost since the beginning of the nationwide 94-97 per cent. Can the vaccine take to be sure and then maybe again, if you don't know, is it received? – If not sure to protect themselves against measles (and mumps and rubella) against it, should vaccination take. The so-called. additional vaccine will do no harm either. In 1975 they started to vaccinate just against measles with a single dose, so a second measles-containing vaccine may be missing and to protect also the mumps and rubella to be deficient. Can a vaccinated person gets sick with measles? – Vaccination did not prevent virus access to the body, so rokotettukin a person can get sick with measles, but then the exposure must usually be strong and long lasting. So we spent a long time to infect with in the same state or contact has been close. Is the vaccine useful if you become ill with measles? – Individual immunological differences and the body's defense system to significantly lower the disease or treatment may lower vaccine protection. The vaccine of the illness symptoms are generally mild and more difficult to tuhkarokoksi identifiable. Also a variety of other reasons may lead to the fact that the vaccinated got sick.

Why measles has surged across the Western Götanmaalla, is not known. The bear, according to the kingdom at the level of vaccine coverage in Sweden is even slightly better than in Finland. –The disease is simply unable to hit where there is an average of more unvaccinated, Kontio said.

In fact, this threat of prohibition of flight mostly served to make people understand the gravity of the situation for people affected by the measles, or have been in contact with someone who had contracted the disease. Similarly, everyone has faced up to its responsibilities : as amount of sick in a plane, a person can spread the virus and infect the other passengers, as it has already happened. Measles is a potentially serious illness one of The main causes of the return of measles is the lack of immunization coverage. The disease is highly contagious : a person who is ill may transmit the virus to 15 or even 20 people. Some countries have already taken measures to prevent the spread of measles. In Germany and Italy, the parents who do vaccinate their children risk a fine. In the United States, vaccination has been made compulsory, under penalty of a fine, in some neighborhoods of New York. In France, the penal code provides for a fine and a sentence of imprisonment for parents who refuse to immunize their child a vaccine mandatory. The case of a conviction, however, are rare. In its typical form and in a healthy person, measles can lead to symptoms without any real gravity, and disappear after a few weeks. But in fragile persons (children, the elderly, or immunocompromised), it can be complicated. This is where the deadly danger exists.

In 2016, only one in two children was properly protected. Unicef continues to provide assistance in health centres. What matters most for the families, it is know that the vaccine used is available, top of the range and free. The fear caused by the death begins to make its effect, but not in all environments. Unicef is therefore also in the schools and accompany these actions of video information. Clips Unicef to encourage immunization Some of these movies symbolize the protection of the vaccine. Reports have also been made in popular television programs. As one with a singer very famous there, Iryna Fedyshyna. She tells how after being reluctant, she decided to protect against measles, in the face of the severity of the epidemic. In parallel, Unicef made an appeal to the religious authorities. Dr. Kateryna Bulavinova, pediatrician's request, and the clergy of Ukrainian show the example with their own children and encourage their parishioners ! A distrust that also affects the Philippines, a measles outbreak is also accelerating terribly in the Philippines, according to Unicef, which places this country in second place of his sad podium with already around 14,000 cases since the beginning of the year 2019 as equivalent to 15,600 cases had been identified in 2018. This epidemic has already caused 215 deaths because the state of health of children is often more fragile in this country. Dramas related to a story that's very specific to the Philippines around a vaccine recent dengue fever, the Dengvaxia. Moreover, it is the observation of the ministry of Health itself, which connects the epidemic,""(...) the loss of confidence in the vaccines created by the controversy of the Dengvaxia ( ... ), That is to say, mothers have become reluctant to vaccinate their children with vaccines that have proven their efficacy since a long time"". Controversy of the Dengvaxia This ""controversy"" has become a judicial procedure : the government of the philippines announces the opening of a trial against the laboratory Sanofi who created the Dengvaxia in 2015. This vaccine against dengue fever, a severe hemorrhagic fever was highly anticipated in the Philippines. The government of the day has therefore launched as early as 2016, a major vaccination campaign in the schools with this innovation. However, by the end of 2017, Sanofi has revealed the existence of a risk of a more serious illness if vaccinated individuals had never encountered the virus before. The campaign was interrupted, and the identification of severe cases began. Ten deaths are already in the heart of the process announced by the ministry of Justice of the philippines but it says that the number of records in the course of the investigation is much more important. We can guess immediately, therefore, the terrible impact of these tragedies in the population. Not only for the families affected but also for those who have the impression of having put a sword of Damocles hanging over the head of their child by getting. Indeed, it is often impossible to know if the child has had dengue fever before being vaccinated, because the disease may take a form very common with a simple fever. In addition to the reliability of the vaccines, it is that of the health authorities which is also blamed for having organized a mass distribution of a product if recent. The legal process puts indeed in question the former minister of Health and other decision-makers of the time. A way for the current government to mark its difference. To restore the confidence of the population towards vaccinations To curb measles outbreak, we must urgently restore the confidence of the population towards vaccinations. The scale of the challenge has been evaluated by a team of british researchers. Between 2015, before the Dengvaxia, and 2018, after the Dengvaxia, the confidence of the population towards vaccinations has fallen from 93% to 32% of the population. And those who view vaccines as safe and effective products are more than 21% instead of 82%. At the heart of information campaigns and of the current vaccine, there is the reminder of the former character of the measles vaccine to reassure the parents. Everything is done for ease of access with health centres open at the weekend, campaigning in shopping centres... the ministry of Health of Brazil, which is the third country in the eye of the cyclone of the measles, has created a spot to show the seriousness of the fake news circulating on the social networks : ""the fake news to kill"". A message of shock at the extent of the alert in progress. The number of measles cases has risen from zero in 2017 to more than 10,000. A campaign is underway with witnesses. A woman who lost five brothers of measles tells his story crying. The mascot created to support this message reminds us at the end of the spot the importance of vaccination with a slogan effective : ""Against the regrets, there is no vaccine"". Emergency vaccination In Costa Rica, it is a campaign of vaccination which has recently been carried out, on the trail of three French who come there to spend their vacations because they had brought the measles with them. Apparently, neither the 5 year old son, nor the father were not vaccinated. They had just come out of hospital where they were quarantined for almost all of their vacation time. Because the virus had been eradicated in Costa Rica since 2006 ! And it can be spread very easily by simple talking to them for example. The health authorities have, therefore, sought all the people who had been ""in contact"" with this family to stay in the short time in which the injection of the vaccine is still effective. Other ""man-hunts"" have been held around the world such as the United States, where a resident of Illinois, not vaccinated, may have been talking to them dangerous to those who are going through the Portland international airport or in a restaurant ""Robin the red"" or at the amusement park trampoline Salem. Several u.s. states are considering addition to modify their law in the field of vaccination requirement, as some still allow exemptions for religious reasons for example.",15,"france"
"2877","The islands of Samoa were claquemurées for the second straight day Friday to carry out an unprecedented campaign of vaccination during two days in order to attempt to curb a measles outbreak that has already tripped up 63 people, including dozens of children. The authorities of this archipelago of the south Pacific (200,000 residents) have notified that they do tolereraient no misinformation from anti-vaccine. They announced the arrest of a militant known and particularly virulent form that was opposed to the massive campaign of vaccination. The regional representative of Unicef in the Pacific, Sheldon Yett, has also called on social networks to the responsibility to crack down on the proliferation of messages of anti-vaccine. The islands of Samoa have ordered the closure Thursday and Friday, all the shops and services government non-essential, cut the binding inter-island by ferry, and asked to private vehicles not to move. The vaccination teams were deployed to go door-to-door. The people who have not been vaccinated against measles must display a flag or a red stuff in front of their home to help the teams to identify. The number of deaths due to measles since mid-October reached Friday 63, of which 55 children of four years or less. The children are also the majority among the 4.357 case of contamination identified. Twenty children were admitted to hospital in a critical condition. - ""The whole country is being vaccinated"" - ""I had already seen campaigns to mobilize massive, but never across a whole country like that,"" said Sheldon Yett. ""The whole country is in the process of being immunized"". The vaccination rate, which was 30% of the population before the beginning of the epidemic. It climbed to 55% with a vaccination campaign started there are 15 days with children. The intensification and expansion to the entire population of the campaign on Thursday and Friday, under the state of emergency declared last month, is supposed to be this rate to over 90% and help overcome the epidemic, according to Mr. Yett. In the capital Apia, the streets were almost deserted and the markets on the sea front, usually besieged by tourists, empty and silent. ""It is very quiet here. We're only a few dogs barking. The streets are empty. There are no cars. People will stay at home and waiting for the vaccination campaign"", he noted. The world health Organization (WHO) has complained of campaigns anti-vaccine in the fall of the immunization coverage in Samoa before the epidemic. The death last year of two babies after a vaccine against measles has shaken the confidence of parents and stopped during the eight months the national immunization programme. A survey was then cleared of all charges of the vaccine and demonstrated an error: the vaccine was not in question but had been administered mixed with anaesthetic agents instead of water. - A ""devastating"" impact - But the anti-vaccine jumped on the opportunity. According to Mr. Yett, their campaigns are often carried out since rich countries like the United States or Australia, without awareness of their impact on poor countries. ""It is devastating, it can condemn to death a child here where vaccination rates are low and are in addition to other health issues."" ""We had children who died after their arrival at the hospital, as a last resort. We have discovered that the anti-vaccine had been sent to their families, who were then kept these children at home"", added the minister of Communication of the archipelago, Afamasaga Rico Tupai. ""The anti-vaccine, unfortunately, slow us down"", said the minister on television new zealand's TVNZ. And then run: ""Do not put yourself in the way, don't contribute to the number of deaths,"" to the attention of the activists anti-vaccines, one of them, Edwin Tamasese, was arrested Thursday evening. He had reproached the vaccination campaign on the social networks: ""enjoy your orgy of killings,"" he writes. ""We advise the police to act when we do not have the choice"", has also notified the attorney general of the archipelago Lemalu Herman Retzlaff in a press release. Last week, a blogger has compared since Australia compulsory vaccination for Samoa at the practices of the nazis. Others have advocated alternative remedies efficacy unproven. If the priority is to control the epidemic, a discussion will be needed with the internet giants such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram are used by the anti-vaccine, said Mr. Yett. ""It is very clear that they need to exercise corporate responsibility to intervene and ensure that the populations, particularly the most vulnerable, receive adequate information, which will help to keep the children in life,"" he says. Samoa has received assistance from the UN and several countries (Australia, New Zealand, France, Great Britain, China, Norway, Japan, Usa...). But it takes 10 to 14 days before the vaccine becomes effective. According to the WHO estimates, immunization has saved the lives of 21 million children over the past twenty years. In the archipelagos neighbours Tonga and Fiji, where the vaccination coverage approaching 90%, measles outbreaks have also been reported but without victims.",15,"france"
"2887","""When the vaccine coverage of the population is poor, the most vulnerable people catch"" the measles, "" explained Agnes Buzyn at the microphone of France Inter on Wednesday 14 February. The minister of Health has also stated that ""in some regions of France, the coverage is around 70 %"", which is ""totally insufficient to prevent an epidemic to emerge"". New Aquitaine in effect, the epidemic of measles has already made a death. In these conditions, Agnes Buzyn request ""to all the people who are not or who have not vaccinated their children to do a ""catch-up"". ""One death per 3,000 cases,"" according To the minister, ""almost all of the measles cases are occurring among people not vaccinated, or who received only one dose in their lives, whereas two doses were recommended"". Today, these two doses are required ""because of the severity of the disease,"" said Agnes Buzyn. ""In an epidemic of measles, there will be one death per 3,000 cases, an encephalitis with sequelae for 1 500 cases [...] and pneumonia much more frequently"", she recalled. A 32 year old woman, hospitalized on 1 February in the CHU of Poitiers for a measles, was placed in the icu the next day. She has died of the disease. Since November, in all the New-Aquitaine, 269 cases have been identified, and 66 required hospitalization. Four of them were admitted in the icu. ""There remains a huge reservoir of non-immune"", ""It is the reflection of the history of vaccination in France : there are people 20 to 40 years old who grew up without being vaccinated, and now find themselves non-immune,"" explained Daniel Lévy-Brühl to the AFP. According to the head of the unit responsible for immunization in public Health in France, ""there remains a huge reservoir of non-immunized, which can be tomorrow, the next case of measles, even death"". At the end of the 2000s, France had already experienced a measles epidemic of great magnitude. We had counted 20 deaths related to this disease, of which 95 % of infants and immunocompromised individuals. Deaths that would normally be due be prevented through herd immunity. Today, measles is one of the 11 vaccines required for children born on or after January 1, 2018.",15,"france"
"2889","Measles continues to rise : according to the epidemiological bulletin of Public Health of France, 2071 cases have been reported since the beginning of the upsurge in November 2017. Half (49 %) of the reported cases have occurred in New-Aquitaine, the only region in the situation of the epidemic. To this day, a single death is to be deplored, that of a woman of 32 years to Poitiers. In a week, 124 new cases were reported in 80 counties (see figure below). After an epidemic peak at the beginning of April, ""the number of cases begins to change,"" notes the health agency. It is however, to remain cautious, noting that measles outbreaks sometimes familiar bounce, as was the case in several european countries in 2017. Active outbreaks in seven regions the Seven regions relate to homes that are still active, usually in schools or care homes early childhood : Bretagne, Centre-Val-de-Loire, Hauts-de-France, Île-de-France, New-Aquitaine, pays-de-Loire, and Provence-Alpes-Côte-D'azur. Half of the new cases reported concern children between 1 and 14 years of age, who should normally benefit from the vaccination requirement. In this respect, public Health France is calling on all health professionals to review the immunization status of all minors over the age of 1 year, and update the MMR vaccine in these individuals, if appropriate. No department at the shelter In all the French overseas departments, the vaccination coverage of measles is below the rate of 95 %, which would eradicate the progression of the virus. ""The departments today free of measles are not immune from the expansion of viral circulation in the near future,"" concludes the agency. The regimen usual in measles consists of the injection of a dose of MMR vaccine (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) at 12 months, followed by a second injection between 16 and 18 months. In case of contact with a person with measles, it is possible to receive a catch-up vaccination up to 72 hours after exposure.

"2892","The United States has identified 695 cases of measles since the beginning of the year 2019, the worst outbreak of the disease since its removal official in 2000, according to the Centers for disease prevention (CDC). As A comparison, 667 cases have been registered in 2014. The country owes this growth to the mistrust of the parents towards the vaccine, either because they mistakenly think that their child may develop a disorder in the autism spectrum, or for religious reasons. Recall that the largest study ever conducted on the subject recently concluded that there is no link between the vaccines against childhood diseases such as rubella, measles and mumps and the risk of developing a disorder in the autism spectrum. This research was conducted to break the myths stubborn generated in 1998 by british physician Andrew Wakefield who published a study in the Lancet on 12 children linking the MMR vaccine to autism. His brothers and sisters had not corroborated the results and it was found afterwards that the doctor had tampered with these data, losing at the same time his right to exercise. New York imposes vaccination Recently, the New York city mayor Bill de Blasio announced that the measles vaccination will become mandatory under penalty of a fine in certain areas of the city, including where are installed orthodox jewish communities, highly affected by the epidemic. Similarly, the child care for this community and the yeshivas, the talmudic schools, which accept children who are not vaccinated would be liable to prosecution and could face closure, while the State of New York granted up to the present exemptions for religious reasons. ""We are at the epicenter of a measles outbreak that is very, very worrying and which we need to deal with immediately. The measles vaccine works. It is safe, it is effective, it has been proven"", he said. A campaign to reassure families about the safety of the vaccine, The u.s. health authorities are trying to reassure the anti-vax as they are nicknamed : ""The measles vaccines are part of medical products studied in the more background we have, and their safety has been established for years,"" assured the u.s. secretary of Health Alex Azar, in a press release issued Wednesday. An extensive campaign will be launched next week ""to reinforce the message that vaccines are safe and effective way"" to protect against the disease. According to Unicef, the number of babies under one year who have not received the first dose of the vaccine between 2010 and 2017 in the United States amounted to 2.59 million. They were 608 000 in France, and 527 000 in the United Kingdom in the same case, over the same period. And in Europe ? The situation is equally worrying. From January 2018, Europe is facing its biggest measles outbreak in 10 years : more than 41 000 children and adults have contracted the disease in recent months (37 died), is two times more than in the whole of the year 2017. In particular, because the vaccine coverage is not optimal. There is a minimum threshold of vaccination coverage in a population as a ""group protection"" works and protects those who cannot be vaccinated (newborns, immunosuppressed...). If the WHO is concerned, is that ""outbreaks prolonged are observed in all Regions, in particular in countries that had eliminated the disease or were on the verge of achieving it,"" said Dr Soumya Swaminathan, deputy Director-general in charge of programmes of the WHO. ""In the absence of fast-paced efforts to increase the vaccine coverage and identify populations that are displaying unacceptable levels of under-vaccination or non-vaccination among children, we risk reversing decades of progress in protecting children and communities from this devastating disease but perfectly preventable,"" alert-t-it.

"2893","After a statement alarming to the world Health Organization (WHO) published the end of April, which pointed out that the number of measles cases had increased by 300% in Europe in the first quarter of 2019, another new worrying just fell : vaccination policies existing in some developed countries would not be sufficient to put an end to the resurgence of measles. The study, conducted by a team of researchers of the Foundation Bruno Kessler and the universita Bocconi in Italy and published in the journal BMC Medicine, shows that in 2050, if vaccination policies are not strengthened, the proportion of the population likely to contract the measles virus to exceed the threshold of safety of 7.5% in five of these seven countries (except in South Korea, and Singapore). This threshold of safety is the maximum threshold not to be exceeded in order to maintain a level of immunization course among the populations. But the situation would already be critical in Italy, where the threshold of 7.5% has already been exceeded in 2018 to reach 9.3% of the population. The researchers are also interested in the case of England : without significant change in vaccination policies, the proportion of people not vaccinated against the measles, currently 3.7%, could rise to 8% in 2050. On the panel of the seven countries studied, the proportion of the population likely to contract measles varies from 3.7% in the United Kingdom to 9.3% in Italy, which is the threshold countries to exceed the threshold of 7.5% in 2018. In Australia, Ireland, the United Kingdom and the United States, the research team stresses that it is imperative that the vaccination levels overall remain above 95% of the population to keep the proportion of the population likely to contract measles from under the threshold of safety of 7.5%. ""In recent years, we have witnessed the upsurge in the number of measles cases, even in countries where, according to the WHO, the elimination of the disease would have already had to be reached,"" explains Dr. Filippo Trentini, author of the study. This increase is due to a level of immunization and sub-optimal."" At the global level, the WHO figures pointed to a resurgence in measles cases because of a reinforcement of the distrust of vaccination in the developed countries, and poor access to health care in poor countries. In 2017, the 110 000 deaths related to the contraction of measles have been recorded, according to the international agency. The solution : a mandatory immunization upon entry to school ? Measles is considered one of the most contagious diseases in the world. There is no curative treatment but its contraction can be prevented with two doses of a vaccine ""safe and effective"", according to the WHO. In France, this vaccine is the MMR (measles, mumps, rubella). It has become mandatory for infants born after 1 January 2018. ""Our results show that the implementation of a compulsory vaccination for school, in addition to the traditional programs of immunization, proves to be very beneficial in most of the countries studied,"" explains Dr. Stefano Merler, co-author of the study. Compulsory vaccination on entry to the school should cover more than 40% of the population to be effective."" This topic interests you ? Come in and discuss it on our forum !

Next to the Brandenburg Landtag of North Rhine showed-Westphalia's state government is determined to be a compulsory vaccination should be introduced. Currently, the country is exploring, but still. Family Minister Joachim Stamp ( FDP) said the ""Rheinische Post"": ""I am in favour of a General vaccination - this also applies to kindergartens.""

Giffey argued that state responsibility of the Federal Minister for family Affairs, Giffey confirmed in an interview with the editorial network Germany: ""government Action is needed to compromise if the risk of other children in kindergartens, schools or other institutions, to not get in the handle."" Spahn led, among other things, discussions with the coalition partner SPD. SPD-health expert Karl Lauterbach appeared at the end of March confident ""that we can soon submit a proposal"". You can also read the comment for the mandatory vaccination: What we believe in? Measles are highly contagious and can extend in rare cases, even fatal. Nevertheless, a compulsion to measles should not be to enforce vaccination easily. The scientific service of the Bundestag, had already noted two years ago on constitutional issues. The experts do not exclude the possibility of a mandatory vaccination for certain diseases to enforce, generally speaking. Vaccination is performed in several steps, For kindergarten children that could still work to some extent, in the case of School-children may be more difficult. And beyond the legal problem is that the vaccination is done in several steps, and then to take effect. Decided it must be so also about the vaccine and about whether or not there are triple or quadruple shots. Also read: you should to the debate about the measles vaccination Brandenburg know was ahead on Thursday. The Parliament called on the red-red state government with a broad majority, to create the conditions to ensure that up to a Federal regulatory solution to a vaccination as a mandatory prerequisite for attending day-care centres and day care. At the same time, the government should introduce an initiative in the Bundesrat. Thuringia's education Minister Helmut Holter (Left party) argued on Sunday that his government supports the Initiative. A vaccination for kindergarten children was more than what had been decided by the Federal government in the last parliamentary term, to stricter rules. Since then, parents who want to send their children to day-care centres need to be able to, among other things, a mandatory vaccination advice prove. Also in this case it was so that the Federal government pretended the uniform Federal framework for the should implement the country then. Immunization coverage in Hamburg at 93.5 percent, Following a measles outbreak in the state of Schleswig-Holstein, the members of the opposition in Hamburg, the CDU called for a vaccination of all city employees who work with children. In addition, attendance at a day-care centre for children should be the only ""properly proven vaccination status"" is possible, said the spokeswoman, Birgit Stöver of the dpa. According to the Hamburg Senate, the Coverage is 93.5 percent. The ""not sufficient to prevent infection completely, let alone the measles completely eradicate"", said Stöver.

Currently there are outbreaks in Duisburg and Leipzig. The Robert Koch Institute expects to close 2017 with more measles cases than in the previous year. Reason gaps are. (Icon photo) photo: dpa Berlin - The Berlin-based Robert Koch Institute (RKI) in Germany is expecting for 2017 with a major measles Problem as in the previous year. ""We fear that there will be again this year more measles cases,"" said Dorothea Matysiak-Klose, RKI expert for Impfprävention, on Thursday the German press Agency. ""Measles cases are at present, for example in Duisburg and Leipzig. Overall, we expect, unfortunately, that the numbers will rise still further.“ Until the first of March, when RKI nationwide already 203 confirmed measles were registered infections. In 2016, there were a total of 326. Spread in families and schools ""at The Moment, the measles spreading, especially within families. But schools, too, are affected“, says the RKI expert. Mainly in response to gaps in young children, adolescents, and young adults are. Only when the immunity in a Region is high, have the Virus bad opportunities. This jointly produced protection forbid then people from infection, which could not or have yet to be vaccinated for different reasons. Long since reached a consensus that measles are not a harmless childhood disease. The infection is highly contagious and weakens the immune system. In rare cases, it even ends fatally. Small children can be from nine months of age. Therefore, vaccinations or a recent illness prior to pregnancy are important. Because Pregnant women have no protection against measles, will not be able to give him even more. Immunized mothers, however, in the first few months for nest protection in their babies. During pregnancy should not be vaccinated against measles. Second vaccination are only 70 percent of two-year-old ""Dangerous measles, especially in infants and small children. For them, there are more complications than in Older,“ says Matysiak-Klose. In addition, there is an increased risk of a serious brain disease that only comes years later, and deadly ends there. ""It is very rare. But the risk is probably higher than previously thought,“ adds the vaccination expert. A second measles vaccination should be carried out until the end of the second year of life. However, the details are vaccinated according to the RKI only around 70 per cent of two year olds in Germany twice. Desirable 95 percent would be“. Up to the start of School parents to bring the immunization often - according to the experts, late. How big are the gaps in Germany, was last updated in 2015. With more than 2400 measles cases nationwide was an exceptional year - the highest value since 2002. In Germany, the Numbers of measles cases fluctuate very strongly, so there was in 2004, only 123 registered diseases. A holey Immunisation in the population is also visible when measles from other countries will be introduced. In an adequately immunized population, a large contagion wave would not be possible. Measles Status of the parents check According to the RKI estimate, it would be in this situation makes sense in the case of children's vaccinations, the measles-to check Status of the parents at the same time and vaccinations in the absence of protection of catching up to do. In young adults, it is recommended that you visit a doctor after measles to ask vaccination status, and also to vaccinate, for example, when a woman doctor. The Problem with the gaps is also on the old recommendations. For the vintages from 1973 to 2001, for example, only measles vaccination was prescribed.

Mandatory vaccinations and vaccines recommended Grillo explained that he had opposed the decree Lorenzin, because against vaccines in absolute terms: ”On this, someone did a bit of a mess, but we are in favour of vaccines,” he pointed out, but not to make compulsory all the vaccines because, “for other diseases, it is sufficient recommendation, for example, for the chromium.

While maintaining the focus on measles, which is the real problem of this Country.” To comment on the statements of Grillo is the senator of the Pd, Caterina Bini, a member of the Health Commission: “Perhaps we have got it wrong. The minister of health, Grillo has just said not to be opposed to vaccines, but prefer that it is mandatory for measles, but not for chromium. We do not believe to our ears. The chromium, which contains the vaccine for diphtheria, tetanus, acellular pertussis, polio, hepatitis B, and haemophilus influenzae type B, that is, for diseases that are fatal or severely disabling, especially if taken by infants.

"6674","It is very easy to create alarmism following the story of a young man who died because of measles. While the news became viral, the panic spreads like wildfire. And comments, usually negative, abound in relation to each other. People believed to be crazy to not get vaccinated when needed a simple medication to save a life. But things are not exactly so. The fault of the media If the vaccines you or love or hate is (almost) always the fault of the media. It is very easy to manipulate a news story or lead the reader to think exactly what they want you to believe. Drive a choice is not at all complicated, especially if it is to make it viral is the social network. And that is how the no-vax are able to show evidence of the guilt of the vaccines, while the pro-vax do exactly the opposite. But how is it possible that both parties are able to show evidence to support their thesis? Simple: just show only one side of the medal. The man Catania who died because of measles On the site of the Epicenter – the site of the Higher Institute of Health – we read of the fatal complications in the case of measles are very rare, and it is about 30/100 cases for every 100,000 people affected. But these deaths generally occur only in infants, in malnourished children or in people immunocompromesse. Then, because the man of Catania would be dead if he was in perfect health? Simply because before that it was in extremely precarious conditions, was in fact hit by a severe immunosuppression, and not only. Accused of not having a vaccine, All the accusations against the man, had no reason to exist. We all know that in case of severe immunodepression, you should not administer a vaccine. The more one of these contains live viruses and therefore involve a higher working of the immune system. In conditions so poor health not only can we not vaccinate but you can die even for a common cold. Then drive the news by asserting that it is the fourth case of death from measles in a patient who is not vaccinated is not journalism. Is exploitation of a news story. The truth, The Courier Newspaper was one of the few newspapers which showed the other face of the medal, following the story of Catania. Contains the declarations of Mario Kennel, the medical doctor in charge of the service, the epidemiology of the Asl of Catania, in which he asserts as the patient was suffering from Aids at the terminal stage. More also had a skin cancer. ""As regards the specific case of the man who died in Catania measles is only the final cause of death. The man, a native of the province of Agrigento, and not vaccinated against the measles, he was suffering from Aids in the terminal stage, and he also had a skin cancer typical of those who suffer from Aids. He had already been hospitalized in the department of infectious Diseases of the Policlinico Ferrarotto, Catania several times, because in the province of Agrigento there are departments of infectious diseases.""

"6678","The alarming figures on the emergency measles in Italy, with cases tripled in a single year due to no to vaccines, require serious reflection. In this can help us remember when a similar situation broke out in Wales, and how he stopped the epidemic of measles. Unfortunately, this means talk about the death of a boy of 25 years, Gareth Colfer-Williams, found dead of what appeared to be natural causes, but then reveal causes related to measles. The young man was ill during the epidemic that struck the country and, in particular, the city of Swansea: Gareth contracted the disease because the unvaccinated, and suffered the consequences of pneumonia from measles, one of the most serious complications of the disease. His story shocked Wales, who went back on his steps and he said you just have to the buffaloes on vaccines. The result? cases of measles have dropped dramatically and are under control. The case of Gareth Colfer-Williams, in all its tragedy, it was important for the public health of the welsh people that, only faced with the evidence of his death, they set aside studies fake and hoaxes. It all started after the story of Andrew Wakefield, the former doctor English deleted from the register of the doctors because of the false study on the correlation between vaccines and autism, published in 1998. The theme begins to turn more and more, the fear spreads and complicit media (who have not defended with sufficient force, medical science) on the other, the plotters of the web, the vaccines go down dramatically, including the one for measles. The immunity of the flock disappears, and the measles virus starts to hit, in children and especially in adults. The epidemic of measles in Wales We are in April 2013 when Wales is facing an epidemic of measles. To be most affected is the city of Swansea, which recorded 886, of which 78 in just five days and 121 in a week: at the end of the year will be the 1,202 cases found between Swansea, Neath Port Talbot and Bridgend. Health authorities begin a plan of vaccines in mass that carries more than 10 thousand people to undergo the triple vaccination against measles, rubella and mumps (MMR). Marion Lyons, director of the center for the protection of public health launches appeal to families because they bring their children to vaccinate, especially if in the range between 10 and 18 years, the most exposed and most at risk. The death of Gareth Colfer-Williams, things change when he gets the news of the death of Gareth Colfer-Williams. On 18 April, the young 25-year-old is found dead at home on the sofa, to Port Tennant, a district of Swansea, a few days before had made visit to the doctor for a rash that had struck in different parts of the body. Has high fever and difficulty breathing, but is sent home with the advice to rest and take paracetamol. As reported then, the BBC, Gareth had had problems with alcohol, and, two weeks before, he had started the detox: for he was very skinny and had asthma. The discomfort was increased with the passage of days, until Gareth is found dead by a member of his family past to find it. His death devastates not only the family but the whole of the city and becomes a national case: you start to talk about a death of natural causes, then you point the finger at the asthma until it is decided on the autopsy. The companion Cairo informs the doctors of the conditions of Gareth in the last days: he had a very high fever, so as to have the hallucination and a rash, persistent. The first tests confirm that the young man had contracted the measles, and it is suspected that the death is due to complications of the disease. In July comes the confirmation from the autopsy: Gareth died of pneumonia from measles. The news of a possible death linked to the measles, the parents understand that it is the case of vaccinating children and the campaign of the triple vaccination, begins to have success, leading to a decrease in cases of measles: already at the end of the year 95% of children vaccinated against the measles, bringing the country to the immunity of the flock.",15,"italy"

"6683","Lamezia Terme - The Committee on Chronic illness of the Lametini at a meeting, held in recent days, has examined the relationship between measles and vaccines. The report of the president, Giuseppe Gigliotti, was followed by a debate. “The numbers are mind-boggling, everywhere you read in a note from what emerged during the conference - in the Old Continent. Between the first of march 2016 and 28 February 2017 cases of measles were recorded were 6.186, 1,500 only in the last two months (more than double compared to the same period last year). But it is the Italy to officially enter in the ‘viewfinder’ of the world health Organization, since well 1.387 cases of measles in a year have occurred here: this is the highest number in Europe, second only to the figure for Romania (2.702 infections), and far superior to that of Germany (365), Poland (145), France (126), Switzerland (105), Belgium (92) and Austria (89). In percentage, it means 22% of the total”. In particular, what is alarming in the eyes of the who has released data on the occasion of the European week of immunization is “the rapid growth trend of the Italian cases of measles: it goes from 265 in January to 419 registered in February. To be clear: in December 2016, were 90, in November 84, in October 76, September 56. On the bench of the accused, needless to say, the vaccines. The “wound” to tell you the truth, it is not only Italian: at the global level 19.4 million children in the world are still not fully protected from diseases easily preventable, and preventable by vaccines. Outstanding among these is the measles. In spite of the fact there is an available vaccine safe and effective (that between 2000 and 2015 is estimated to have saved over 20 million lives), the latter remains one of the leading causes of death among children”. “Why yes, measles kills. Complications continue, from the Committee on Chronic illness of the Lametini - due to the lack of proper care and timely (in poor areas), to virulence. In 2015, there have been in the world 134.200 victims of infectious disease, in most cases, children under 5 years of age. Means 367 deaths per day, 15 deaths every hour. And if it is true that in 2015, approximately 85% of the world's children received one dose of measles vaccine within the first year of life (in 2000 the coverage was of 73%), it is true also that since 2010, the increase in the global coverage was just 1%. Progress very slow, endangering their the health of children. ""Even today there are still Countries in the world where the vaccination is still struggling to overcome the 80% share of the"" report to the Who, emphasizing the gap is still strong compared to the 95% needed to ensure protection from the disease on a large scale. Of the 10.7 million infants born each year in Europe, approximately 650 thousand do not receive the full series of three doses of vaccine against diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis in the first year. And in Italy - these are the latest figures issued by the ministry of Health - in 2015, the vaccination coverage in children at 24 months was 85,3%.

But, says The Journal: ""the measles is not a harmless childhood illness, but it is a serious infection of the immune system and the respiratory system after the initial recovery of the immune system of the host, even in the long term, not a weakness."" In the Netherlands, children are two times vaccinated against measles, mumps, 14 months and 9 years of age. In particular, in a strictly religious environment, children are often not vaccinated.

"29710","Philip is my patient, my first patient with measles, 5 months. Have not been vaccinated against measles, given the age. Vaccination is done after 12 months. Because recently arrived unvaccinated people with whom you can meet in a store, on the street, at work or at a friends party, people who do not have immunity, such as Philip, susceptible to infectious diseases. Philip did not remain with patients with measles, contracted ""on the way"". Measles the first time I've seen a couple of weeks ago, more and more are going to consult with me and adult patients in whom the rash is bed, for such advice please General practitioners that measles from books. know. The fact that before I was only known from the theory and photos, and lately of the messages of the media, now I see with my own eyes. Individuals who I went with Audra, mostly patients, working or having contact with the Ukrainians. In 2016 Ukraine had one of the lowest in Europe percent wyszczepialności society for measles (MMR) 31% for pertussis (DTP) 19%, and for polio 56%. Measles affects mostly the face nieszczepione, Polish antyszczepionkowcy are people zaszczepieni in the past, they are not contagious, but their children are the same things for us now are nieszczepieni Ukrainians. Although clearly antyszczepionkowych parents don't get it because they say my child, my problems. In 2018 in Ukraine there were more than 54 thousand cases of measles, more than half of them involving children. In addition to the problems of economic and social, were clearly underlined the fact of refusal to vaccinate children is through parents, who forged confirmation of vaccination against measles. The result of this stupidity was the death of several patients due to measles, the number of patients who have complications do not end up famous, thousands of people have required hospitalization. This post has two important insights: 1. The parents were, say, okłamani through antyszczepionkowców that claim something like that as a response stadna does not exist. The number of measles cases increased drastically in recent times in proportion to the reduction wyszczepialności companies. Proves the theory, practice shows. It is hard to imagine more direct evidence that listening to people with no medical expertise-it's just irresponsible, and for some it ends tragically. It is also difficult to understand that in the face of such clear evidence against StopNop and the whole quackery still many parents blindly believe them. 2. If you are working and you have contact with citizens of Ukraine, you are at risk, which is important when you have children, especially small ones, to protect them from infection. Therefore, I recommend to investigate the level of antibodies to measles virus (IgG), or you can doszczepić in the dark. So doszczepia medical staff, not everyone has the health check and can check their immunizations. Medical staff should pay attention to it, so I am asking to think about it. In many places employers offers free MMR vaccinations for their employees – doctors and nurses. Before, when people have not ogłupieli over the Internet, put children and measles were pushed to the sidelines, due to the fact that children like Philip, were not really under threat, and the doctors had no idea how this disease looks like. Today we have something that we call the effect of the Plow, I swore that I would respect this woman's (and George's Finches) will be subject to consequences for all the lies and manipulation that they did, and nazbierało this a bit. You Plow yesterday asked the question ""what did I do?"". It's amazing... fortunately the answer to this question we have a very well uargumentowaną, I hope that the arguments will be enough for justice. Because the life and health of children and education on medical topics cannot depend on the insurance company agent and a mechanical engineer, because the consequences are tragic.

In some of the countries that have been made in 2018, the cases of measles, no cases reported in 2017 Brazil – 10.262, Moldova, 312, Montenegro 203, Colombia, 188, East Timor – 59, Peru -- A 38-Chile – 23, Belgium – 17. According to UNICEF, the health infrastructure poor, the civil unrest, a low level of awareness at the community level, complacency and a reluctance to vaccines, and, in some cases, have led to the emergence of these outbreaks in both developed countries and in countries in the developing world. For example, in the United States of America, the number of measles cases has increased six-fold between 2017 and 2018, amounting to 791. More recently, the united states has been confronted with outbreaks in New York and in the state of Washington, inform the News.en. ""Almost all of these cases can be prevented. They're infected, even in places where there isn't any excuse for it. The disease is the measles, but all too often, the virus itself is the lack of information, lack of trust and complacency. Do we need to do more in order to provide accurate information to each and every parent so that we can help you we'll get them to the safety of every child,"" said Fore. In order to combat measles, UNICEF is making an urgent appeal to the government, health care providers, and parents to become more involved in order to prevent the further spread of the disease, as follows: - to understand that the vaccines are safe and effective, and can save the lives of children",15,"romania"
"26711","Measles is a disease an infectious and highly contagious disease caused by the measles virus. The complications of the lungs and of the nerve can lead to a worsening of the disease, leading sometimes even to death. The most dangerous are the laringitele, choking, pneumonia with respiratory failure and acute encefalitele. According to doctors, the children are very young, and those not vaccinated may not develop these complications. That is why it is recommended that every infant or toddler who gets a fever at the time of the eruption to be seen by the infectious disease and surveillance, potentially in the hospital. What are the symptoms of this disease, and what kind of lifestyle do need to be taken to the sick, we say, dr.Since Luke's, primary care physician, pediatrician, specialist in Infectious Diseases at the Clinic of Infectious Diseases, Hospital of Pediatrics, Sibiu, romania. What is the situation of measles cases in the county during this time period, given that the country is declared to be an epidemic? In the county of Sibiu, in the period of 2016-2017 has been reported with 101 cases, in accordance with a prospectively designed study where the Majority of the cases have not been included in the age group of 1-4 years, and age group of 4 to 9 years old, and only a handful of cases over the age of 9 years old. Complications were, in general, the respiratory – croup laringean and pneumonia confirmed radiographically, and bronchopneumonia with respiratory failure acute, which required the maneuvering of the intensive care unit. There have been no reported deaths from measles in the county. By the generalization of vaccination, it is hoped to eradicate the disease, but, unfortunately, gaps in the procedures for vaccination, or in the absence of the little ones of patients or to the lack of a vaccine within a certain time period, they were exposed, and more people get child to this disease. How is the spread of measles? The way of the spread of measles is by air, through tiny particles Pfluge (microscopic particles of respiratory secretions containing bacilli), and also via a runny nose. It is the most forward, and, indirectly, through solid objects freshly contaminated with secretions from the patient, but it is much more rare, due to the fact that the measles virus he don't pull through a lot of time in the environment. As I said, the measles virus is extremely contagious and you go into a period of incubation fixed for the last 10 days – it is one of the characteristics of the product – up until the onset of the disease, from the time of contact infection. The infected person becomes infectious 2 days before onset of the rash, and remains contagious for about 7 days after the occurrence thereof. Why is the virus more active in winter? Rather, there is a period with a maximum of cases during the months of spring (April-may) and minimum during the months of august and September. The winter months can be discussed only in the context in which you play as a virus, and the measles virus finds the conditions are favorable for development during cold, and wet, since body of a human is more likely to have contact with any bug, especially if there is an immunity that is effective in non-vaccination. What does it show? Chicken pox is a condition that is characterized by, in the first 3 to 4 days by mule -conjunctiva – i.e., watery eyes, swollen eyelids, connective tissue, red blood is a sign of a specific disease – the so-called ""face of the baby crying was,"" the sick person sneezes, it's the present, a runny nose, he has the hoarse voice, the cough is dry and troublesome in defining the mule laringean. This may be more pronounced taking on the appearance of a laryngitis-croup measles. At times, it can develop into pneumonia. During this period of time from the start of the game, a sign of the characteristic at the level of the mucous membrane of the oral cavity, namely at the level of the last molar teeth, in the form of small granules, whitish, grouped, pearly, if we compare it with the grains of the farina – mark Koplik – a sign of a typical rubella. Also, in this period of time, it can occur digestive disorders – vomiting, abdominal pain, and sometimes diarrhoea, and nervous symptoms – malaise, irritability, and headaches. The next stage is the appearance of the eruption, the initial behind the ear and on the face, with further expansion on the torso and limbs, and in the next few days. The rash is accompanied by fever. It is completed in about 3 days, when it becomes the norm. The appearance of the rash is quite characteristic, in the form of red spots, which disappear on pressure, initial, isolated, soft to the feel, and that I can make. In general, the skin takes on a look smudged, as if it would be covered with a light red color. As a generalization of the eruption, following the period of time in which the eruptive starting to fade in the order in which they had appeared, leaving in their wake a period of several days, the spots yellowish brown typical. When it gets to be a worrying case of measles, so that it requires the intervention of a doctor? Any rash with fever should be seen by a doctor in the family, and then for the specialist infectious disease. In the light of the evolution of the azului, and the framing of his rig, most notably in the case of small patients, to hospitalize them in order to supervise more closely and to limit the likelihood of complications. How severe are the complications of measles? Typically, the measles, you develop without, or with fewer complications, especially in children with the proper nutrition and care. Children with deficits in bio – anemia, a deficiency in weight, rickets, etc., the measles can be accompanied by complications. The most dangerous are the laringitele, choking, pneumonia with respiratory failure and acute encefalitele. The age of the minor, and the children are not vaccinated may develop these complications. That is why it is recommended that any infant or child with a rash, low-grade fever should be seen by a doctor in infectious disease surveillance, and possibly in the hospital. What is the diet recommended at the time of the eruption of measles, and what the contraindications are? The diet is in the period of the temperature of the fluids – soups, teas, and fruit juices and water. Usually repeated, followed by drying, it requires the infusion of endovenoasă and the hospital. As soon as the tolerance is blood in the stool is re-established, the diet will be enriched gradually, making a full recovery. They are allowed in the bathrooms for the duration of the eruption? The care of the skin, or of skin, it is very important to me in this condition. The bathroom overall is allowed only on the road to recovery. In the meantime, it can make the bathroom part of the skin, being careful to ply you with hot water and a mild soap. The baby needs to be washed off the pieces, from the bum on the folds by wiping it with a sterile dressing, and a water caldu<U+0219>ă, not the wet ones. Taking care of your eyes should be done with great precision, by the deletion of the delicate with the compresses and sterile saline solution or distilled water. Also, the nose will be cleaned out and vacuumed it and it will keep the moisture of the mouth by the administration of continuous fluids warm. It will also keep a close check on their ears. The bathroom overall, just in the afebrilitate, and after the complete resolution of the eruption of the mean in 7 days from when the rash is gone and child is without fever. As long as I'm protecting the babies of the antibodies from the mother? When the mother is immune to, meaning it has gone through the disease, namely measles, has specific antibodies that deliver the transplacental transmission to the fetus after birth, so the baby is born with a resistance to the particular keep for about 6 months, and then it decreases. From the age of 6 months, the child is susceptible to measles, which will make the first contact. The rate of vaccination has fallen well below the threshold recommended by the WHO for the 95% of the serum immunization is regarded as a trigger of the disease as well as autism spectrum disorders. How do you feel about your fears to your parents? I believe that the vaccination of antirujeolică of children at 12 months of age is beneficial, as it provides protection for this condition, which is always evolving, simple, without any complications. Balancing the benefits of vaccination against the so-called side effects, it is not always justified – see autism – I think vaccinations in general. The proof of neaderen<U+021B>ei the vaccination is to increase the rate of morbidity with measles in the last few years, with far-reaching consequences, sometimes in relation to complications and/or the rate of death in the country. Vaccines that do not meet the downside of the population, on the contrary, it contributes to the maintenance of the health status of the population, is administered prophylactically. Once the disease occurs, through the circumventing of the recommendations of the medical administration of vaccines, it is difficult to control the disease, which evolves by means of a more aggressive virus can be contained and controlled until then, for many, many years ago.",15,"romania"

This is the main conclusion of a study of the Foundation of the Oceanografic, in collaboration with the Complutense University of Madrid, the Centre of Research in Animal Health of the National Institute of Agricultural Research and Technology and Food (CISA-INIA) and the University of las Palmas de Gran Canaria, which has just been published in BMC Veterinary Research. Between 1987 and 1988, a strange condition that combined pneumonia, encephalitis and damage to the immune system, he ended up with half of the population defines the bottlenose of the Atlantic, because this virus is more aggressive than the native variety of the mediterranean, according to a press release of the Oceanografic. The responsible was a virus of the genus ""morbillivirus"", of the same family that causes measles in humans and rinderpest, and since then has caused epidemics so destructive that have affected different species of cetaceans in all oceans, by what is considered the virus more lethal to mammals. In the last outbreak of 2011, only in the Comunitat Valenciana appeared stranded 50 corpses in a month and a half, and from 2012 it detected a change in the pattern of this disease, which, as is now known, was due to a new variant of the virus that is circulating through the waters of the Mediterranean.

But cases are increasing in Europe. -In our country, for now, we are doing quite well. Between 2006 and 2015 in Galicia alone, there were 11 cases, the majority imported. The last 6 were in Lugo, where five were secondary or derived first imported case of a trip to Sicily. - And do in la Coruna? -In the Chuac the last suspect data, 2011, in an older person, and was not confirmed. - What they care about, by proximity, the cases of Portugal? -The outbreak of march, in the north of Portugal has not had an impact in Galicia, although concern was among the health workers, who are often the most affected by the proximity to the patients. - Can we be calm? -Spain is located in good situation because the vaccination coverage is high. Is note that our system is universal and it has been protected always. Continues to to vaccinate a lot, but we can not relax, because it is true that we do not reach the 95 % of full vaccination, that is to say, with the two doses of the mmr, which is far from ideal. - Why? -We have a very good levels, 97.8 %, with the first dose, the twelve months of life. But on the second dose, at three years old, we went down to the 92,40 %, maybe for oblivion, for relaxation. If we take into account that in our environment the only protection against measles is by vaccination there are to get that 95 %. - What is the current antivacunación are making a dent? -In our environment the main problem for not reaching the levels it has to do with that stream because, as opposed to other areas of Europe, there are large pockets of population not vaccinated for other reasons, because of ignorance, poverty... In a few years the reserves against vaccination have gone up 1-2 %. -Is on the increase. -Don't let your guard down. In general it is true that other vaccines, such as the papillomavirus, causes more doubts. The first year of the child can hardly refuse, but there are those who yes. - How to convince them? -We know that out of every thousand children who get measles, one will die. And they tend to be the smallest. It is a disease usually of childhood that presents with fever, cold and a rash or eruption on the skin, and can have serious complications of the central nervous system and the respiratory tract, such as pneumonia. Particularly affect children less than a year, and where it is not recommended the vaccine, so it is important that the population be immunized to prevent transmission of a virus that, in addition, is highly contagious. ""In situations of risk to the public health I think that the vaccine should be mandatory,"" dr. Maria Jose Pereira warns that, as compared to other viruses that are transmitted more slowly, the virulence of the measles is reflected in an impact on health in the short term. And not only in the individual. -Vaccinate is a personal decision. -Yes, it is an individual decision, but it affects the collective. If I don't beef I am facilitating the spread of the virus in the environment. You have to be aware that I am not just me. And when the shots start to be effective we relaxed. What we do not see we do not believe that there is, and it is not so. In this case the vaccine is so effective that it is very blatant not to apply it, there can be no doubt. - What you would require to get the vaccine? -The experience of mandatory vaccination in some cases, especially in the U.S., has been counter-productive.

Cases in the UK have also rocketed this year, as figures show parents are still not taking hundreds of young children for their measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccines. It means the area is falling below the vaccination level the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) says is required to prevent outbreaks of measles.  The most recent figures show that, in the 2016-17 financial year, 88 per cent of children in Nottinghamshire turning five had received the recommended two MMR jabs.  It means that an estimated 1,130 five-year-olds in the area had not been vaccinated.  The ECDC warns that areas in which fewer than 95 per cent of the population are vaccinated are at a heightened risk of a measles outbreak.  But only four countries in the EU have hit this target, with the UK among those falling short.  Across the East Midlands, just 89 per cent of children had received both MMR jabs by the age of five in 2016-17.  In the UK, 757 cases of measles have been reported so far this year – nearly triple the 274 cases reported in the whole of 2017.  The Royal College of Nursing (RCN) has also advised teenagers who missed their jabs in the late 1990s to ensure they are up to date before travelling.  Many missed the course of vaccination following discredited scare stories over links between the vaccine and developing autism.  While local figures are not available, NHS numbers show that by 2005-06, over a quarter of five-year-olds in England were not receiving both MMR jabs.  Following significant outbreaks in France, Italy, Greece and Romania, the RCN’s Helen Donovan said the threat posed by measles should not be underestimated.  She said: “Measles is extremely infectious, especially where large crowds of people gather, such as at festivals or in towns.  “Thanks to vaccination it has become increasingly rare in the UK, but recent increases in infection rates show we can’t be complacent.”  Ms Donovan also urged people to ensure their vaccinations are up to date, by contacting their GP.  She added: “The MMR vaccine is free. Getting immunised is quick and simple – an appointment with your practice nurse will only take a few minutes.”  In the UK, babies are usually given the first MMR jab within a month of their first birthday, as part of their routine vaccination schedule. The second is usually given after they turn three.

"44513","With cases of measles on the rise, health professionals are debating whether vaccinations should be made compulsory  As measles cases in Europe hit their highest levels this decade, should the UK adopt compulsory vaccination? Experts have debated the issue in The BMJ today.  “We need to increase uptake of this vaccine, as we run the risk of measles becoming endemic,” argues Eleanor Draeger, sexual health doctor and medical writer.  Uptake of the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine in the UK is 94.9% for the first dose, but this drops to 87.4% for the second dose, which falls short of the 95% needed to produce herd immunity, she explains.  Draeger points out that mandatory vaccination has increased uptake in other countries, and that in UK society, many things are already legislated to improve individual or public health.  “We would argue that the UK now needs to legislate to increase vaccination rates, as current measures aren’t keeping rates high enough to ensure herd immunity.”  Many parents wrongly believe the rhetoric that vaccines are harmful, unnatural and an infringement of civil liberties, she says.  Ethicists have argued that compulsory vaccination is acceptable because people who don’t vaccinate their children are potentially putting other people’s health at risk, particularly those who can’t be vaccinated and are therefore more vulnerable.  “Passing a law that stops children attending nursery or school unless their vaccinations are up to date or they are medically exempt would allow free choice while protecting vulnerable children,” she concludes.  But Helen Bedford and David Elliman at UCL Great Ormond Street Institute of Child Health and Great Ormond Street Hospital argue that, rather than mandatory vaccination, the UK should concentrate on other methods to increase vaccine uptake, such as improving access to services.  For example, ensuring that general practices have an immunisation lead and adequate appointment reminders in place, making immunisation settings child and family friendly, and ensuring staff have adequate time to talk to parents, and have been trained to tackle any issues that arise.  “Only when these components are in place should we consider mandatory vaccination,” they say.  Even then, they warn of potential unintended consequences. For instance, would parents still trust the NHS and healthcare professionals if GP data were used to decide whether a child was admitted to school or whether a family were allowed certain welfare benefits?  If school entry were denied, some parents may resort to home-schooling, and if vaccination were attached to welfare benefits it would be the less well off, but determined, parents who would suffer disproportionately, they add.  They welcome a recent House of Lords debate that favoured improving services rather than compulsion, and say: “We believe that the UK should concentrate on improving its infrastructure and not risk alienating parents unnecessarily.”  Don’t forget to follow us on Twitter, or connect with us on LinkedIn!",15,"uk"

Now is the right time to check if you and your family are vaccinated against the risk of measles. Janet Cairns  Janet Cairns, the head of midwifery at Hull and East Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust, said: “Now is the right time to check if you and your family are vaccinated against the risk of measles. “GPs can advise, and give vaccines to anyone who has not been adequately protected. Two doses of the MMR vaccine can prevent more than 95% of cases of measles, mumps and rubella. “If you are pregnant and have been in contact with someone with measles, which is infectious from a few days before the rash appears, please contact your GP or midwife, who can request a blood test to check whether you are immune.“ According to NHS guidance, pregnant women who think they have come into contact with someone with measles and know they are not immune, should see their GP as soon as possible.  Pregnant women are being urged to ensure they are protected against measles  Many new cases in Britain have been linked to a European outbreak, prompting health officials to call on travellers to make sure they are vaccinated. Earlier this year, PHE urged young adults and teenagers planning to go to Europe during the summer to check they are vaccinated against measles.

Measles can be prevented with the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine and is given as part of the routine NHS childhood vaccination programme.  One dose is usually given to a child when they’re 12 to 13 months old. A second dose is then usually given at three years and four months.  Dr Mary Ramsay, head of immunisation at Public Health England, advised: “Measles can kill and it is incredibly easy to catch, especially if you are not vaccinated. Even one child missing their vaccine is one too many – if you are in any doubt about your child’s vaccination status, ask your GP as it’s never too late to get protected.  “There are measles outbreaks happening across Europe so if you are planning to travel, make sure you check with your GP and catch-up if needed.  “We continue to work with NHS England on how we can make it as easy as possible for parents to access vaccines so that they can offer their children the best possible start in life.”",15,"uk"

With ongoing outbreaks in other parts of Europe including Romania, Italy and Ukraine, PHE is also warning that anyone travelling to these countries is at particularly high risk.  If you’re planning to go to these countries the advice is to contact your GP to arrange to make sure that you are fully vaccinated before you travel.  Dr Nicholls added: “If you think you could have measles, it’s also really important to stay away from places where you could come into contact with lots of other people – so do not go to work or school, visit hospital or attend social gatherings until at least four days after the onset of the rash.”",15,"uk"

It is caused by a virus that spreads very easily by direct contact or through the air. This viral disease, which mainly affects children, but not only, is more contagious than Ebola, or the flu. After an incubation phase, the disease is characterized by a high fever, runny nose, cough, watery eyes... In a second time, appear red spots. The disease is contagious four days before and after this eruption. – Complications, sometimes serious – Often mild, measles can cause serious complications, respiratory (lung infections) and neurological (encephalitis), especially in frail people. There is no specific antiviral treatment and the care of the patient endeavours to treat complications. – Preventive Vaccination – The health authorities worldwide insist on the importance of the vaccine, at the individual level but also collective: high vaccination coverage (95% of the population) protects persons who cannot themselves be vaccinated, especially because of their weakened immune system (leukemia, treatment for anti-rejection after a transplant, etc.). In the world, the number of deaths due to measles had decreased greatly since the beginning of the years 2000 through 2016, thanks to vaccination campaigns: the balance sheet WHO for 2016 was a state of 90,000 dead, against for 550,000 in 2000.

According to the united Nations Fund for children (Unicef), 98 countries have reported a larger number of cases in 2018 than in 2017. 10, including Ukraine, Brazil and France, were responsible for three-quarters of the total increase. – Distrust and problems of access to health care – In rich countries, this increase is largely attributed to a distrust of vaccines in general and MMR (measles/mumps/rubella) in particular. According to a global survey published in June, France takes the lead of this skepticism, with one in three respondents who do not believe that vaccines are safe. In this attitude of distrust, the home of the pioneer of vaccination Louis Pasteur is followed by the Gabon, Togo, Russia and Switzerland. A lot of ""anti-vax"" is based on a publication from 1998 linking the MMR vaccine and autism. However, it has been established that its author, the British Andrew Wakefield, had falsified his results, and many studies have since shown that the vaccine did not increase the risk of autism. The american president Donald Trump, before being elected, had himself linked to autism and injection of multiple doses of vaccines simultaneously, a position he has not, however, repeated recently. In April, he even held ""very important"" that the population is vaccinated against measles. The distrust can also have religious, particularly in some jewish communities and protestant conservative. In the United States, the State of New York, confronted with a resurgence of measles in areas with a high population of orthodox jewish, voted in June the removal of exemptions for religious parents could summon up here to get around the vaccination requirements in schools. At the global level, ""the main reason"" of the failure of the vaccination of children is the failure of health systems in poor countries, that those ""who most need (do) not have access,"" stressed the WHO.

Traditionally, the regimen consists of the injection of a dose of MMR vaccine (Measles, Mumps, Rubella) at 12 months and a second between 16 and 18 months. For people who have never been vaccinated against measles, catch-up is possible. It consists of the injection of two doses of vaccine at least one month apart.

The previously against measles, unvaccinated Person had been vaccinated eight days before her death for the first time, against measles after in the family environment measles had occurred.

The eye-catching progression of the disease, to further clarify and understand better, has ordered the health Department of the district of Hildesheim, a post-mortem examination. The preliminary autopsy findings show an infection with the measles virus. This suggests that the measles infection has contributed significantly to the death. Why was this Person such a rapid and severe course of the disease, is not yet finally clarified. It is still further study results are awaited in the coming weeks. Since the introduction of the infection protection act in 2001, this is the first case of death associated with measles in the district of Hildesheim.

"4146","Berlin To fever, cough and runny nose follows the characteristic red skin rash. In the face of a re-clustering of measles cases in Germany a new debate on the introduction of a vaccination is begun. It is very concerned about the increase in infectious disease, said the Federal Ministry of health on Monday. The coalition government is considering a compulsory vaccination for children. The Robert-Koch Institute, there is nothing from the forced-Piks. Where are measles spread currently? 2019 there were in Germany, so far, 170 measles-diseases, many Westphalia, in North Rhine-Westphalia. The number of cases varies greatly from year to year, sometimes there were several Thousand diseases. ""We don't come with the Elimination of so right ahead,"" said Susanne Glasmacher, spokeswoman for the Robert Koch Institute ( RKI) in Berlin, where the reports from the States to run together. Outbreaks are not uncommon in large cities and Metropolitan areas. The extremely contagious measles, the end of the Virus is transmitted through droplets and has an easy game, where many people reside in a confined space. Why is measles so dangerous? When Infected, the immune system is weakened, it can lead to complications such as middle ear and lung inflammation. A causal therapy does not exist. It is not a harmless children's disease, stresses the glass-makers. ""We see 1000 Patients a death in the family."" Jacob mask, a Berlin spokesman for the professional Association of child and youth doctors, adds: ""In the case of infants, one of 300 sick children even die."" Sometimes the disease results only after years of death, such as in the measles-encephalitis SSPE – those who get it in infancy from measles, is particularly at risk. How prevalent are measles vaccination in children in Germany ? According to RKI, all the länder in the school entrance examination, in the meantime, Coverage of at least 95 percent for the first vaccination against measles, Mumps and rubella. A need for improvement there, but in the case of the second vaccination, which aims to extend the Vaccination. It was a Problem that children were often vaccinated too late, says glass-maker. ""But the main problem are the young adults."" A vaccination think the RKI in front of this Background, currently ""is rather counterproductive and harmful"". Where does the Impflücke in young adults? In the case of people who were born after 1970, often missing the second measles vaccination, because this was not provided for in their Childhood. Later on, you will not be rescheduled, often out of ignorance or sloppiness. Here, the Coverage is according to the RKI at only 30 percent. Infected adults can infect small children or infants that are not (yet) vaccinated. Why Balk some parents against the Vaccination? From the point of view of children's doctors false information is a reason for that. ""Many parents are confused by untruths on the Internet and in other media,"" says mask. After consultations by specialist doctors, the parents were reassured of the rule and had their children vaccinated, so controversial experience. ""But until that happens, it takes valuable time, in which the children are not protected."" A measles vaccination is always spoken of again. Why was it not introduced before? The introduction is a question of political will, but also with complicated legal aspects attached to it. In preparation for the Bundestag of experts in 2016, wrote that a mandatory vaccination could be the only diseases with a high ""risk of a fatal course to the life or health of the children"" to prevail. In 1959, for example, a vaccination against smallpox as a Constitution has been determined in accordance with, in the face of a mortality rate of 30 percent. After the extinction of the obligation has been lifted. Since when is vaccinated against measles? The first vaccine was licensed in 1967 in Germany. In the GDR was introduced in 1970, a compulsory vaccination, the Federal Republic of the vaccination from 1974, recommended. Since 1991, a two-time vaccination for all children and young people up to 18 years of age. The current recommendation is to leave the first vaccination at the age of eleven to 14 months and the second vaccination in the second year of life to perform. RND/dpa",14,"germany"

The number of cases this year has tripled compared to the same period last year, and the alert also concerns Europe and the Usa. ""Millions of people globally at risk, warns Who - and in the first six months of 2019, the cases reported are the highest since 2006, with outbreaks that put a strain on the health systems and cause serious diseases, disabilities and deaths in many parts of the world. So far in 2019, compared to the same period of the previous year, the number of reported cases has tripled"". Also, the western world is affected. ""The United States - adds the Who - reported the highest number of cases of measles in the last 25 years. In the Who european region, were registered nearly 90 thousand cases in the first six months of this year, a figure which exceeds those recorded for the entire 2018 (84.462), year result already the highest in the current decade"". According to the latest recommendations of the Who, ""all subjects over the 6 months of life should be protected from measles before travel to an area where circulates the virus"". Anyone who is not sure of the state of vaccination ""should consult with their doctor. Visitors - concludes the world health organization - must be vaccinated at least 15 days prior to departure"". The Who urges all governments to ensure that the immunization against measles: two doses are necessary to protect themselves from the disease. And according to the latest recommendations, all of the subjects over the 6 months of life should be protected from measles before travel to an area where circulating virus. This year, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Madagascar, and Ukraine reported the largest number of cases but the cases have declined significantly in Madagascar in the last few months as a result of vaccination campaigns and emergency at the national level, thus demonstrating the effectiveness of vaccination in the put an end to the epidemics and protect the health. Large outbreaks are ongoing in Angola, Cameroon, Chad, Kazakhstan, Nigeria, the Philippines, South Sudan, Sudan, and Thailand. According to the Who, ""the reasons why people do not vaccinate vary widely: the lack of access to quality health services, the presence of conflicts and wars"". Not only that, there is also misinformation and lack of awareness of the need to get vaccinated, which play a fundamental role. In several Countries, the measles is spreading among the oldest of the children, young people and adults who in the past were not vaccinated.""",14,"italy"
"6706","In the first three months of 2019, have been reported more than 110 thousand cases of measles in the world, 300% more than in the same period of last year. This is stated in the Unicef by providing new data on the occasion of the world Week of immunization. In 2017 approximately 110 thousand people died, mostly children, because of the disease, with a 22% increase compared to 2016. On average, adds it to the Un agency for children, between 2010 and 2017, more than 21 million children a year have not received the first dose of the vaccine. In this context, not shining, not even the rich Countries: the United States is at the top of the ranking of high-income Countries with the highest number of children who have not received the first dose of the measles vaccine. And according to one estimate, has reached the record number of cases of measles in the United States since the disease was declared eliminated in 2000. Italy is in fifth place with a well 435,000 children are not vaccinated. “Measles is still far too contagious”, highlights Henrietta Fore, the Director-general of Unicef. “It is important to not only expand coverage but also to maintain rates of vaccination at the doses most suited to create an umbrella of immunity for all”. In the week of the vaccinations that is celebrated all over the world and will end on April 30, the Who Europe emphasizes that “despite the progress in the shell, so there is still work to do.” In Italy, observes the Institute, from 2013 to 2016 has been registered a decrease of vaccine coverage for various preventable diseases, which has led to the law on the obligation. “Italy – said the experts of Iss – remains one of the 10 Countries where measles is still endemic. To stop the endemic transmission of measles in our Country, in addition to increasing the vaccination coverage among young children is necessary to implement strategies and activities additional vaccination targeted at the age groups susceptible”.",14,"italy"
"6720","It is true that measles do not die? Measles is a highly contagious viral disease (95-98% efficiency of infection) for which there are no specific treatments. Can cause complications, even severe, that may be associated to infection, such as pneumonia, encephalitis, morbillosa, and panencefalite subacute sclerosing (neurodegenerative disorder chronic, which can show its symptoms, even for years after the infection, and inexorably leads to death). Before the widespread use of the vaccine, measles was the cause of death of 2 million and a half children a year. The last great epidemic in Italy was recorded in 2002: 40,000 cases of the disease (as those reported, but is estimated to have been over double), more than 1,000 patients in hospital, 23 encephalitides reported and 6 deaths. Despite the fact that both the efficacy and the safety of the measles vaccine are continuously reiterated by the health authorities and the scientific community, in our Country the vaccination coverage is still far from 95%, a value required to ensure the control of the disease and its subsequent elimination, and, in the last year, has even dropped to 2 percentage points reaching just over 88%. Measles can be prevented with a trivalent vaccine against measles, mumps and rubella (MPR). Those who do not vaccinate their children, justifying the refusal with the fact of not wanting to expose to possible adverse events to the vaccine, you should know that numerically the consequences of the disease can be represented by an “elephant” (pneumonia: 1 in 20",14,"italy"
"6745","The disease, one of the most infectious, it spreads mainly through coughing and sneezing, but it is preventable with two doses of the vaccine Albania, Czech Republic, Greece and the United Kingdom: these are the four countries that have lost the status of “free from measles”. After years of constant regression of this disease in Europe, “the number of Countries that have reached elimination of the disease has decreased,” Europe “loses ground in the battle for the eradication of measles”. This can be seen in the conclusions of the european Commission of verification of regional elimination of measles and rubella (RVC). The Commission's analysis is based on the data of the 2018 related to the 53 member States of the european Region. To certify the loss of land of Europe in the fight against measles, and the “dramatic recovery” of his movement are the last, we find the data of the Who, disclosed two weeks ago: the number of cases of measles in Europe from January to June 2019, was about 90,000, double what it reported for the same period in 2018, and half occurred in the Ukraine, followed by Kazakhstan and Georgia. In 2017, approximately 110,000 people died of measles worldwide, mostly children under the age of 5 years. The disease, one of the most infectious, it spreads mainly through coughing and sneezing, but it is preventable with two doses of the vaccine. “If high immunization coverage is not achieved and sustained, both children and adults will suffer needlessly and some will die tragically,” said Guenter Pfaff, president of the committee of experts of the Who on measles in Europe.",14,"italy"
"6753","Outbreaks, epidemics, outbreaks, epidemics, pandemics. Measles, therefore, what is it? Cristina Da Rold Both in the case of measles, which for us now is a matter of record, that of emerging infectious diseases such as the Chikungunya, or a new strain of the flu, you hear talk of “the epidemic”, if not “pandemic”, often using the one and the other term as synonyms. The result is frequent confusion, which is complicated when we go to see what they say international sources. The problem arises from the fact that the English language makes use of two terms with different meanings – outbreak and epidemic – while the Italian language does not reflect this linguistic distinction. Explains Caterina Rizzo, Epidemiologist from the National Centre of Epidemiology, Surveillance and Health Promotion (CNESPS) of the Higher Institute of Health. “In English the difference between outbreak, epidemic and pandemic is the following: outbreak indicates the situation in which there is a contagion to be circumscribed in a certain place and in a certain period, where the number of cases of infection exceeds the estimate of the cases expected, regardless of the number of the dead, as in the case of Chikungunya in the region of Lazio. An outbreak may become epidemic if the infection begins to spread in areas less restricted, but still widespread globally, otherwise we speak of a pandemic, i.e. pandemic. The problem is that in Italian, not having the nuance of the language, we speak indifferently of ‘epidemic’, a term which has a connotation strongly alarmist. An alternative would be to use for outbreaks the term outbreak, in order to render precisely the idea of a problem to be circumscribed and not an alarm that should scare you”. And in the case of measles then? “The answer depends on the Country to which we refer, from the moment that here comes into play another concept, that of endemicity,” continues Rizzo. There are Countries like Italy where measles is endemic, that is, the number of cases each year-still higher than you might hope despite the availability of free vaccination. In Italy, for example, the data of the Institute of Health show that cyclically over the last few years there have been moments, such as the one we are experiencing now, where the incidence of the disease was very high, as told each other about here and here. Reason why we say that this is not something the world has never seen. This does not diminish the fact, however, that in Italy we are facing a form of an epidemic, since as the figures show, WHO we are the fifth Country in the world for the number of cases. “However, in our case, the term ‘epidemic’ continues, Rizzo – indicates a disease that is already present and well-rooted, and that cyclical features of the peaks is not limited to a specific region, but affecting patchy a wider area. Of course, not everywhere is like that. In the United States, for example, measles is considered to be outbreak, i.e. an outbreak, since the disease is virtually eliminated, and even the appearance of a few cases (far from our over 4000!)”. In summary, therefore, we are facing an epidemic, but certainly not an anomaly. @CristinaDaRold",14,"italy"

The Department of Health of the basque Government has alerted the people who dined last march 23, in a cider house in Astigarraga (Gipuzkoa) after knowing that between them there was a person later diagnosed with measles. In particular, it is a person who resides in Madrid and has been diagnosed with this disease, and therefore, the health authorities of the Spanish capital advised the Basque Health Service, Osakidetza, of which the affected party had dined on the 23rd of march in the cider house Rezola Astigarraga, have explained to EFE sources of the basque Government. In application of the protocol to detect possible infection, Osakidetza, has sent a briefing note to all who were that day in this house with a series of recommendations. As indicated by a head of the house, that night they dined in the establishment of about 250 people, who have been able to be alerted by phone, since the registration of reservations of the establishment had recorded the phone numbers of the customers. In the note, to which has had access EFE, are cautioned that measles is a very contagious infection that is transmitted through the air, and explains that those who have passed the disease or are vaccinated, ""have very little risk of contracting measles."" ""Fortunately, the rates of vaccination in the Basque Country are very high, and the risk of acquiring the infection is low. However, we want to prevent more cases and we ask that you review your protection status against measles"", added the communication.

""We know, therefore, that there are very few people who is not protected"", explains the specialist in Preventive Medicine of the Hula, Raquel Barbosa, who insists that ""there is no alarm situation with the measles"". What is certain is that there are many patients of Lugo which have come to your health center asking specifically for the vaccine, after the appeal made by the minister of Health, María Luisa Carcedo, who announced that they should get vaccinated all the Spanish between 40 and 50 years who had not received childhood immunization and encouraged them to go to the doctor to ask for it. Optional Illas Canarias, Sacred Heart or San Roque confirmed this Wednesday that several of his patients between the quarantine and the fifty or so had been concerned about what to do with the message of the minister. In reality, in Galicia it is not going to promote any kind of universal vaccination. Is more, strictly will not change anything with respect to the current situation. Dr. Barbosa explains that in 2017 updated the adult immunization schedule and there is indicated that doctors in Primary should take advantage of the consultation to review the status of vaccines in the patients born between 1968 and 1981. If they had not been vaccinated or had been infected with the measles virus should be given two doses of the vaccine. If, for example, consisted that it only had received one dose, they would the second. However, if you do not remember whether they had been vaccinated as a child or have had the disease, the doctor should decide, on a case-to-case, if given the vaccine. Dr. Barbosa remember that there are cases in which the vaccine may not be administered. For example, a patient who is immunocompromised or a pregnant woman. Therefore, you are not going to vaccinate all the world that does not remember his vaccination history or who does not have a written record of the same. Neither are going to ask to the patients who come to the doctor specifically for that cause. ""What is called for is a review of the vaccines, taking advantage of the opportunity of a consultation for another reason,"" he says. According to the briefing note submitted by the Department of Health physicians Primary this Wednesday, in case a patient requests for their own initiative to be vaccinated should be to confirm that it was not the disease or received the mmr, and in that case, it is given. The specialist insists that there are no grounds for concern because in Galicia measles cases are ""sporadic"". The first two hiv infections within the community in eight years were detected in the past month of June. Before there had been none since 2011. In addition, the fact that 98.3 percent of the population is protected indicates that, for the small number of adults gallegos who are not, would work the herd immunity.

"56113","The measles vaccine requires two doses. Despite the fact that in recent years cases of measles have multiplied, only 85 percent of children receive a dose of the vaccine before they are two years old and ""just"" 61 percent of the two recommended doses, according to the head of Service of Internal Medicine of the Hospital Sanitas CIMA, César Morcillo Serra. One of the ""biggest problems"" is that the measles vaccine is not administered to children under a year and the only way to protect these children is that 95 percent of the population around you has been vaccinated with the two doses. ""To be surrounded of people vaccinated break the chain of transmission of the virus and is a way of protecting the weakest people that can't vaccinated, such as infants, the sick and the elderly, is what is called the effect of 'flock' or immunity of group"" - has underlined the doctor. This vaccine is voluntary and is usually administered to children along with rubella and mumps (mmr vaccine), through the different health services with a previous application for parents to your doctor or pediatrician. In this sense, the doctor Morcillo has been noted that this is used for more than half a century, is ""very effective, safe and cheap"" as to immunize a child against measles costs less than a euro, ""that is one of the best investments in public health, also taking into account that, prior to 1980, when he began to generalize the use of the vaccine, measles caused two and a half million deaths per year."" In addition, the majority of children do not present any side effect, although the that occur are ""generally very mild"", some as fever or rash, and the most serious are ""rare"", such as a high fever that causes seizures, something that happens to one in every three thousand cases. VERY CONTAGIOUS DISEASE measles is a disease ""very contagious"", caused by a virus that infects the respiratory tract and spreads to the rest of the body, and that is usually spread through direct contact and air, taking into account that there is no antiviral treatment specific against the virus once contracted the infection, according to the specialist. The first symptom of measles is high fever and the rash, starting ten to twelve days after exposure to the virus and lasts between four and seven days. In the initial phase, the patient may also present with cough, watery discharge and red eyes and small white spots on the inner face of the cheeks. After about fourteen days it appears a rash or eruption on the skin, usually on the face and upper neck, which extends for approximately three days, eventually affecting the hands and feet. After five or six days, the rash disappears. Next to this, you can also cause severe diarrhea, ear infections, severe respiratory infections such as pneumonia, blindness, encephalitis and even death, if the disease is complicated, so much so that it is one of the leading causes of death among young children, especially those under five years of age, although it can also occur in adults over the age of twenty years.",14,"spain"

In view of these data, RVC has expressed ""its concern about the surveillance, inappropriate disease and low immunization coverage in some countries."" It has also come to the conclusion that the chains of measles transmission continued for more than 12 months in some countries that had interrupted the spread of endemic disease, returning to its state endemic.

To prevent outbreaks, according to details the WHO, you need at least 95% of the immunization coverage with 2 doses of measles-containing vaccine in each country and each year, as well as efforts to reach children, adolescents, and adults who missed routine vaccination in the past. While the coverage of immunization with 2 doses of vaccine increased from 88 percent of the eligible children in the Region in 2016 to 90% in 2017, there remain ""large disparities"" at the local level: some countries report over 95% of coverage and other below 70%. ""We must celebrate our achievements without losing sight of those who are still vulnerable and for whose protection requires our urgent attention and permanent. We can stop this deadly disease, but we can't succeed unless all do their part: to immunize their children, to themselves, their patients, their populations, and also to remind others that vaccination saves lives,"" concludes dr.

(Reuters/EP) - Brazil has criticized this Thursday to Venezuela for not taking measures to stop the spread of an outbreak of measles in the largest economy in South america and other neighboring countries, caused by the exodus of venezuelans fleeing the economic crisis. Since February, four people, three of them venezuelan, have died of measles in the border state brazilian Roraima, where the health authorities have confirmed 281 cases, in the great majority of children. The outbreak has resulted in the brazilian Government to launch a national campaign to vaccinate 11 million children in addition to adults. Although many brazilian children are vaccinated against the disease, the rate of vaccination has fallen since the country was declared free of measles in 2016. The minister of Health of brazil, Gilberto Occhi, has stated that Venezuela has ignored the attendance and the vaccines offered by Brazil and has not answered requests for information to evaluate the extent of the epidemic. ""We need to know what is the policy of Venezuela and what it has done to vaccinate its population, and also what do other countries,"" said Occhi. Occhi has already commented that Brazil evaluates to vaccinate about 2,000 venezuelans entering the country each day, of which about half are in transit or make a short visit. Currently, only those seeking to stay as refugees or residents are vaccinated. Brazil, along with Colombia and other neighboring countries, have been discussing the need for Venezuela to deliver updated information to the Pan american Health Organization (PAHO), as has been stated an official.

So when someone is vaccinated the immune system is called upon to deal with the mild infection that is manifesting this way acquire long-lasting immunity. Who should be vaccinated in Accordance with the circular of the Ministry of Health, on the treatment of an outbreak measles is recommended: – the direct vaccination with the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR vaccine) of children, adolescents and adults who have not been vaccinated with the necessary doses.

The number of deaths among 34.300 cases were recorded in 42 countries of the Europe region of WHICH reached 13, with the virus killing people in Ukraine --where has occurred an epidemic of measles-- as well as in Romania and Albania. The risk is to continue the spread of the disease, warned the WHO. ""If the response to the disease is not timely and comprehensive, the virus will find its way into more pockets of vulnerable people and can be expanded to additional countries within and beyond the region,"" he adds in a statement. ""Every opportunity must be used in order to be vaccinated susceptible children, adolescents, and adults."" Measles is a very contagious disease that can kill and can cause blindness, deafness or brain damage. Can be prevented with two doses of an effective vaccine, but --partly due to the existence of pockets of non-vaccinated people-- is currently spreading in many parts of the world including the United States, the Philippines and Thailand. In Europe, the majority of cases of measles up to now, in 2019, it was noted in Ukraine, where more than 25,000 people have been infected by the virus in the first two months of the year. There is no specific antiviral therapy for measles, and vaccination is the only way of prevention, said the WHO. Most cases have occurred in people who either were not vaccinated or were vaccinated inadequately. The WHO added that if the area had higher than ever estimated coverage for the second dose of the vaccine of measles in 2017 --about 90%--, some countries had problems, such as decreasing or stagnant vaccination coverage in some cases, low coverage of certain marginal groups and gaps in vaccination in older people. The WHO called the national health authorities in the region to focus their efforts to ensure that all population groups have access to vaccines. ""The effect on public health will persist until the ongoing outbreaks brought under control,"" he said, adding that the health authorities should ""identify those who have missed the vaccine in the past, and to reach them with the vaccines they need"". Fund report of the United Nations for Childhood (UNICEF) published last month reported that more than 20 million children in the time skip vaccines of measles around the world for the last eight years, preparing the ground for dangerous outbreaks of the virus. protothema.gr",14,"greece"

Measles, one of the most communicable diseases in the world, has spread through the Ukraine recently in Poland, Romania and Germany, while it is believed that many cases in Israel and New York linked to travelers from Ukraine. The <U+03B1><U+03BD><U+03C4><U+03B9><U+03B5>µß<U+03BF><U+03BB><U+03B9><U+03B1><U+03C3><U+03C4><U+03B9><U+03BA><U+03CC> movement has developed in many communities. In Ukraine, more and more parents are questioning, or delay vaccines for their children. Their doubts are rooted in a weak health care system, corruption and mistrust towards authority. With the rumors growing of the social media, the doubts about vaccines have turned the country into a weak link in the effort of global immunity against infectious diseases, experts say the public health. The World Health Organization (WHO) featured last year's “hesitation vaccination” as one of the 10 biggest threats to global health. Scans the measles in Ukraine From 2017, measles has infected 115 000 people in Ukraine and 41 have died, of whom 25 were children, according to UNICEF. The city of Kiev, which has 3 million residents, had just 87 cases of measles in 2017. In January and June of this year, registered a number of 5,000 cases. The survivors can suffer from long-term complications, or disabilities such as blindness, deafness or brain damage. It is a fight on many fronts. Studies show that vaccines save lives, but only half of the population of Ukraine believes that, according to a report published in June by the Wellcome Trust of great Britain, based on a survey of 140,000 people from 140 countries. At the global level, 84% of respondents said that they believe that vaccines are effective. In Ukraine this percentage only reaches 50%. On the internet, many Ukrainians express concerns about “poor quality components” in childhood vaccines, and spreading conspiracy theories that vaccines are some kind of dark attempt by the pharmaceutical companies and the governments, to earn money and control the population. In fact, the more vaccines are products with a low margin of profit for the drug manufacturers. The prevention of the vaccination weakens the defense of the people in “dead” diseases, such as polio, which causes paralysis was eradicated in Europe in 2002. Two children in Ukraine paralysed by polio in 2015, the first outbreak of the disease in Europe by 2010, according to the WHO. Global problem what is happening in Ukraine ""is Not only a problem for the children and the people of the Ukraine, is truly a global issue,"" said Lotta Sylwander, head of UNICEF in Ukraine. “The communication and the way we travel means that it affects the people and children around the world,” he added. For its part, the Ukrainian government states that the increase in the vaccination coverage is a matter of national security and has created a website for the prevention of myths about vaccination. Has passed a law that prohibits children without a vaccination certificate to go to school. But in 2016, only half of babies and children in the Ukraine who should have been immunised against diseases such as measles, mumps, polio and the <U+03C4><U+03B5><U+03C4><U+03AC><U+03BD><U+03BF><U+03C2> had done the corresponding vaccines, in accordance with the health authorities of Ukraine. Immunisation rates should generally be around 95% on the population in order to achieve the “immune herd” that can protect the entire population, says the WHO. Measles is more contagious than the flu, tb and Ebola. The virus that causes it remains in the air and on surfaces for more than an hour after the movement of an infected person. So, in an unprotected population, each infected person, on average, will transmit in 12 to 18 other people, experts say. Lack of information and mistrust are catalysts for the <U+03B1><U+03BD><U+03C4><U+03B9><U+03B5>µß<U+03BF><U+03BB><U+03B9><U+03B1><U+03C3><U+03C4><U+03B9><U+03BA><U+03CC> movement in Ukraine In Ukraine the rumors and distrust is equally contagious with the measles. The concerns of some parents come from the same health system. Ukraine does not have universal health care and is considered to be more corrupt than its neighbouring countries, according to Transparency International. Many hospitals have major problems of stable power supply, something that endangers batches of vaccines kept in the refrigerator. It has been found that some vaccines may not have been properly maintained and is therefore ineffective. In 2008, a 17-year-old boy died shortly after administration of a measles-rubella vaccine. Then, the Ukrainian government suspended the immunization program to investigate the incident. Did not find any relationship of the vaccine with the death of the boy. But until then, say the health officials, the damage to public confidence was done. In the past, the supply of vaccines was also from an opaque system of procurement of medicines ,which allowed corrupt officials to make agreements for deals with a minimum of external supervision. Patients who believe that they give them drugs low standards, saying they are often paying to go private or bribe a doctor to get what they need. The same doctors are part of the problem. Parents who don't vaccinate their kids, bribing for a small amount to a doctor to write a false certificate.

While in other cases they're numbers of infected people a maximum in the thousands, in this case, we count tens of thousands of infected. During the years 2008 to 2010 is a total of 98 741 patients, of whom will not survive 4293. From this epidemic makes the worst african case for the last time. The reason for such high mortality is the weakness of the population because of hunger and the high percentage of infected with the disease AIDS and the HIV virus. The reason for this extension is as in all other cases, the lack of drinking, and contamination of the waste water that comes back into circulation. In addition, it collapses and the public health system – due to the hyperinflation of the surviving hospitals do not have even to purchase essential drugs.

"1614","Measles is a dangerous and highly contagious viral disease, which is particularly dangerous for children. A maslinge vaccine is the best way to stop the spread of the disease. Each year, vaccinating Doctors without Borders, hundreds of thousands of children against the dangerous dots. What is measles? Measles is an airborne viral disease, which kills thousands of people every year. It is very contagious, and almost all deaths occur among children under five years in developing countries. Measles is one of the biggest causes of death among small children. The disease is so contagious that 90 percent of the individuals who share living quarters with an infected person will even get infected. Measles How to combat the Doctors without Borders of the infectious disease. See the film Maslinge-the virus is transmitted via droplets from the nose, mouth and throat from infected persons when they cough, sneeze or breathe. Measles can lead to severe sequelae and complications. Each year, infected millions of children with measles. Worldwide, mortality rates are decreasing, so that in the day the door around 12 people each time – the vast majority are children under five years of age. The decline in the death rate can be attributed to the vaccination programme, which protects vulnerable children against maslingesmitte. Pga. the prevalence of vaccination against measles decreased the death toll, worldwide throughout 80 percent from 2000 to 2017, and today has about 85 percent of the world's children got a maslinge vaccine after reaching the age of one year.

Steady now with the Symptoms of measles There goes one to two weeks from infection, to disease breaks out. The symptoms are high fever, red eyes, severe cough, runny nose and light sensitivity. After three to four days to come to that rash in the form of scarlet patches, which at the beginning is quite small – a few millimeters – but quickly becomes twice as big and flows together. After about a week decreases the patient's temperature, and the rash disappears. Maslingeudslat covers not only the skin, but also the body's interior surfaces, and it is the reason that measles can cause serious complications. The disease affects the intestinal tract and can cause diarrhea, and it also affects the brain - and rygmarvshinderne and can lead to encephalitis (encephalitis). Lung tissue can also be affected, and therefore, can measles lead to pneumonia. It is most often diarrhea, pneumonia or encephalitis, which is the cause of death in a child infected with measles. Also can maslingeinfektionen weaken the child to such an extent that it has the risk to be undernourished. Malnourished children are vulnerable to diseases such as measles. A child with symptoms of the disease are reviewed here in Nigeria. © Ikram N’gadi Treatment of measles There is no treatment of measles. The only thing you can do is to treat the complications, you may have of the disease – for example, severe diarrhea, respiratory infections, malnutrition or meningitis. It means that if you do not have access to medical help, especially children die of complications of measles. Most patients are healthy after two to three weeks of treatment, but between five and 20 percent die, usually because of the serious complications that can occur because of the disease. When one is healthy, one is immune for the rest of your life. How common is measles? Die each year tens of thousands of people of measles. The vast majority are children. The outbreak often occurs in places where people are forced to live under poor sanitary conditions – for example in refugee camps. Measles is one of the five most widespread causes of deaths in crisis and emergency situations, where vulnerable populations have not been vaccinated. The four others are diarrhoea, malnutrition, malaria and pneumonia. Vaccinations are the best way to get maslinge epidemics to life on. There is an effective and safe maslinge vaccine, and large-scale vaccination campaigns have drastically reduced the number of infected and deaths. About 21,3 million deaths have been prevented from 2000-2017 because of maslinge vaccines, saith the assessment from the WHO. But the number of recipients remains low in countries where the health system is weak and where there is limited access to medical care. Here, there is still big outbreaks of the lethal dots. The challenge is that at least 95 percent must be vaccinated against measles to prevent new outbreaks. Help stop measles with Doctors without Borders In a number of countries have health ministries have introduced a vaccination programme aimed at all young children, protecting them against six different diseases – including measles. Unfortunately, there are many areas where it is not possible to carry out vaccinations on the grounds of, for example, war, internal displacement of large populations and widespread poverty. Doctors without Borders is implementing large vaccination campaigns in poor countries and crisis areas, as we also typically do it in the refugee camps. The target group for vaccination campaigns are mostly children aged from six months to 12 years. One of the big challenges of making our vaccination campaigns is to keep the vaccines refrigerated between two and eight degrees. It is necessary for a maslinge vaccine works. Motorcycles are packed with koletasker filled with maslinge vaccines in the DR Congo. It is a challenge to keep the vaccines refrigerated in the heat. © Diana Zeyneb Alhindawi, It can be difficult in warm areas, where there is lack of electricity, or where we will be transporting vaccines over long distances in the car, on motorbike or on foot to reach the children who need to be vaccinated. In the Doctors without Borders, we are working constantly to develop better vaccines against measles and other infectious diseases, which are better suited to the areas where we are working in. Including vaccines, which do not rely on lie on the keel in order to save lives. In 2017 vaccinated we have over two million people against measles worldwide in connection with the outbreak of the disease.",13,"denmark"

For the WHO, the widespread use of the vaccine helped prevent 20 million deaths between 2000 and 2016. The disease is nevertheless on the rise in France and in several european countries.

""It is not yet in the context of the epidemic, within the meaning of the public health [...] but we are prepared. It is just one notch below"", alert Aurélien Rousseau, director general of the regional Agency of health (ARS) Ile-de-France. For this to be considered an epidemic, ""the issue is not only that of the number"", and it is to be observed also contamination similar in other departments, "" he says. The Agency has launched an epidemiological study, with public Health France, to try to identify the reasons of this upsurge. Away goals No fatalities for the time of lament. Eleven people were hospitalized, including 4 year-old child, whose immunizations were not up-to-date. ""Each person can infect between 15 and 20 people,"" explains Aurélien Rousseau.

Youssouf Kassin, who works in the department of infectious diseases at the Avicenne hospital in Bobigny, recalls that ""France is a country that is rather anti-vaccines, a lot of people refuse to vaccinate their children"". An attitude unreasonable for the director of the ARS Île-de-France: ""It is the only way to protect against a disease that can kill people, and some decide to take risks to their children."" All the more that, as pointed out in the document public Health in France ""Measles, Mumps, Rubella : 5 good reasons to get the vaccine"", the vaccine is well tolerated. Only one in ten children may have a fever, sometimes accompanied by small red spots on the skin, between 5 and 12 days after the injection after the vaccine which combines protection against the three diseases, whence its name, the ""MMR"". Aurélien Rousseau also points out that the MMR is part of the vaccines, which had not been the subject of controversy.""

A problem for the migrants, If the problem of the measles arises particularly in the department, it is, in particular, according to dr. Kassin, due to the importance of the migrant population in the department. ""These are people who have often not had the opportunity to be vaccinated when they were babies"", he explains. Migrant people who can, are usually vaccinated on the advice of doctors, "" says Youssouf Kassin, but they must first have a social security coverage to qualify for the refund (65% after 17 years).

For the moment, one of the few factors that has been able to establish the ARS is that ""a significant portion of the contamination has certainly occurred in the emergency services', where those suffering from measles have infected people who have not been vaccinated. While a decrease in the number of cases of measles had been observed between 2012 and 2016, the number of cases is rising since November 2017, according to public Health France. In Europe, over the first six months of this year, the disease killed 37 people dead, including three in France, and has hit 41 000 people, compared to 24 000 in 2017. Risk of conjugated with the flu-The fear of especially the director of the ARS of Ile-de-France today, it is the conjunction between this outbreak of measles, and the flu epidemic which is expected to start soon. ""From the 10-15 December, it was traditionally the arrival of the flu in the hospital,"" explains Aurélien Rousseau. Last winter, the flu has already caused the death of over 150 people in France. The health authority therefore seeks to ensure that patients with influenza will not cross the people infected by the measles, and that they do not over-contaminate.",13,"france"

"2906","Can we talk about epidemic ? No, because there is still no circulation of the virus throughout Britain. The Morbihan and the Côtes-d'armor are little affected. The Ille-et-Vilaine is spared. Out of the 109 cases, 62 are related to the school Diwan of Carhaix (29). It is either the students themselves or their loved ones to be contaminated by them. We are not at the peak of 2011, where we had recorded nearly 350 cases. But the disease is circulating and we take action. What this resurgence is due ? The vaccination rate is too low. The measles virus is so infectious that it should be that 95 % of the population is vaccinated in order to contain the disease . In Britain, we are at 90 %. Without wanting to stigmatise a person, this rate drops even lower in some groups of the population, who refuse the vaccine. It is here that you develop the outbreaks of the virus. What can you do against this distrust ? What to do if one has contracted the disease The virus is transmitted very easily in the air, where it can survive for two hours. The first symptoms of flu, fever - are difficult to identify. You do realize that we have measles at the time of the appearance of the buttons at the end of 14 days. However, one is already contagious five days before. It must therefore be extremely careful in case of doubt : do not sit in the waiting room, do not go yourself to the pharmacy, do not go to school, wear a mask, etc, I remind you that the contagious period continues for up to five days after the appearance of the buttons. When can we get vaccinated ? Only children less than a year old cannot receive the vaccine. Beyond this age, one can be immunized at any time. We consider that it is sufficient for two injections. It is not necessary to provide reminders throughout life, in contrast to other vaccines . I also remind you that the MMR ( Measles, mumps, rubella) is one of the 11 vaccines that are now required for children born on or after 1 January 2018. When they have a year, so they will be able to be vaccinated. Do you have concerns about other diseases in Britain ? For the moment, no. All of vaccine-preventable diseases are well followed. In 2012 and 2013, we had an alert on meningococcal. Since then, the promotion of the vaccine has been relayed by the doctors who are in the front line. The rate of vaccination against this disease in Britain is reassembled. We are even above the national average. It is good, but we can do better. The perception of risk related to the disease has receded. We are sometimes criticized for having a fear mongering speech, but it must be said again that the complications and deaths exist, even if they are rare. The anti - vaccine think, make the right choice, but they forget about the collective dimension of the vaccination. The purpose is to protect the less than one year and pregnant women, who may not receive the bite. However, it is important to know that if a person has been in contact with the measles without being vaccinated, they risk almost sure to have it. Moreover, I emphasize that the benefits of the vaccine compared to the risks, very limited, does not pose a question. This medicine is monitored everywhere in the world and do not raise concerns. The controversy have been swept away by experts seriously.",13,"france"

When the Fair Bayonne ham turns into a fair... with the measles. Fifty cases of measles linked to this festive event, which was held the weekend of April 21, 2019 have been identified in recent weeks in the south-west of France, according to the regional Agency of Health (ARS), New-Aquitaine. Between 7 and 18 days of incubation For the ARS, it all starts the week of may 1st, when the first cases are reported. The Agency cross checks the information of these patients, and then realizes that almost all of these people took part in the ham Fair between 18 and 21 April, which was attended by more than 100,000 visitors. And the dates are consistent, since the incubation period for measles lasts between 7 and 18 days. The ARS expects that the number of cases related to the Fair ""be quiet"" in the next few days, but a ""wave"" secondary individuals infected by the first patient could then appear. Especially since, as pointed out in the ARS, one who is sick with measles can infect up to 20 people. Also read : measles immobilizes a ship in the Caribbean, The majority of the cases were not or poorly vaccinated How to explain such an epidemic ? First of all, the high concentration and the high promiscuity of the participants at the ham Fair have been a ground conducive to a rapid spread because ""measles is highly contagious, spreads very easily by direct contact or through the air expired"" is reminiscent of the ARS. Secondly, the vast majority of the reported cases were people ""not vaccinated or poorly vaccinated,"" says the LRA. This last reminds us that to be effective, the measles vaccine should include two doses. In this case, it will protect against the disease in 85% to 95% of cases. ???? 40 cases of measles ds the Pyrenees-Atlantiques.

"3014","I saw this info yesterday, and I wondered how many millions of people vaccinated against a virus that does not exist. With all the suspicions on the safety of vaccines, the controversy will swell more beautiful. You can see what are the main vaccines HERE, where it is written: ""Three million children are saved each year through immunization, for which a million thanks to the single vaccination against measles."" It requests explanations. Update! It would seem that a bad translation of the article,I was induced in error, I apologize. Please refer to this article for more information. The applicant states that the measles is a psychosomatic illness, then I thought that it was the detection of the virus that was in question, and not the disease itself. I'm going to translate them and will update on this bizarre story. The judges of the German federal supreme Court confirmed that the measles virus does not exist, which disculpe conspiracy theorists who say that no study has ever proven the existence of the virus. After this judgment of the supreme Court, the measles vaccination has been injected to millions of German citizens [and the world] without distrust, for reasons of darkness. Anonhq.com reports : The first session calendar of the German federal supreme Court has confirmed the judgment rendered by the High Court of Stuttgart of February 16, 2016. The sum of 100 000 euros, that I had [Dr Stefan Lanka] offered as a reward for the scientific proof of the existence of the measles virus, does not have to be paid to the applicant. The applicant was also ordered to pay all costs of the proceedings. The five experts involved in the case have presented the conclusions of scientific studies. Each of the five experts, including Professor Dr Andreas Podbielski, appointed by the High Court of Stuttgart, as well as by the court earlier, have invariably found that none of the six publications presented at trial does not provide the scientific proof of the existence of the alleged measles virus. Genetics refutes the thesis of the existence [of the virus] The results of the research on the so-called map peptide of the alleged measles virus, has been presented at trial. Two recognized laboratories, including the largest and most important institute of genetics of the world reached exactly the same conclusions independently. The findings show that, in the case of measles virus, the authors of the six publications are deceived, and all the virologistes specialists of measles are always tricks today : They take the cellular constituents common to the parties of the alleged measles virus. Because of this error, during the decades of development of consensus, of the constituents of normal cells have been assembled mentally in a model of measles virus. To this day, no real structure corresponding to this model has not been found, neither in the human nor in the animal. With the results of genetic testing, all the theses of the existence of the measles virus have been disproved scientifically. The authors of six publications and all the other people involved have not realised the error because they violated a duty of fundamental scientific : the need to work "" within the rules of the art "", that is to say, according to the rules defined at the international level and the best scientific practices. They have not done the control experiments. The control experiments would have secured the authors and the humanity of this mistake. This error became the basis for the belief in the existence of each virus in the origin of disease. Responding to the relevant question of the tribunal, according to page 7 of the protocol, the expert appointed by the court, Prof Dr Podbielski, has confirmed explicitly that the authors have no experience of control. On February 16, 2016, the High Court of Stuttgart has broken the judgment of the court of first instance, dismissed the action and referred, among other things, the capital discourse of the professor Podbielski about six publications. The applicant has lodged an appeal against the judgment of the High Court before the supreme Court. He justified his position by stating his subjective perception, but objectively false, on the course of the trial at the court of Stuttgart and the claim that our description of the facts on measles poses a threat to public health. The position of the petitioner was rejected by the supreme Court in clear terms. Thus, the supreme Court has confirmed the judgment of the High Court of Stuttgart of February 16, 2016. Conclusions of The six papers submitted to the proceedings are the main ad hoc publications relating to the "" measles virus "". As from these six publications, there isn't any other who would attempt to prove the existence of the measles virus by the methods of science, the judgment of the supreme Court on the measles virus, and genetic test results have consequences : Any declaration of national and international on the alleged measles virus, the infectious nature of measles and the benefits and safety of vaccination against measles, is devoid of any legitimate basis. During investigations triggered by the contestation of the measles virus, the director of the national Institute of reference for the measles of the Robert Koch Institute, professor Annette Mankertz, has admitted one important fact. This admission may explain the rise in the rate of handicaps caused by the measles vaccination, and why, and how, in particular, this type of vaccine seems to trigger more and more autism. Professor Mankertz has admitted that the ""measles virus"" contains cellular components typical natural (ribosomes or factories of cellular proteins). Since measles vaccine contains the ""measles virus whole"" this vaccine contains the specific structures of the cell. This explains why the measles vaccination causes frequent allergies and autoimmune reactions more severe than the other types of vaccines. The expert of the court, the professor Podbielski, has said on several occasions that the admission of Ms. Annette Mankertz on the ribosomes in the measles virus, the thesis of the existence of the measles virus has been disproved. During the trial, it was also recorded that the highest scientific authority in germany, in the field of infectious diseases, the Robert Koch Institute, contrary to its legal authority pursuant to § 4 Infection Protection Act (IfSG), has not been able to create tests on the alleged measles virus in the publish. The Robert Koch Institute claims to have done internal studies on the measles virus, but refuses to release the results or publish them.

"5226","Cases of the measles in Europe shot up by 400 percent last year, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).  The over 21,000 cases in Europe last year and 35 deaths due to the measles have the WHO concerned about low immunisation rates. This jump comes after the record low of 5,273 cases in 2016, The Guardian reports.  Measles can kill, or cause long-term damage such as blindness. One in every 1,000 children who contract the measles also develops encephalitis, which is a swelling of the brain that can cause learning difficulties or deafness.  ""Every new person affected by measles in Europe reminds us that unvaccinated children and adults, regardless of where they live, remain at risk of catching the disease and spreading it to others who may not be able to get vaccinated"" Dr Zsuzsanna Jakab, WHO regional director for Europe, told The Guardian.  ""Over 20,000 cases of measles, and 35 lives lost in 2017 alone, are a tragedy we simply cannot accept.""  In Europe, large outbreaks affected more than one in four countries last year. The worst off was Romania, with 5,562 cases, and Italy just behind it with 5,006. Ukraine followed, with 4,767 measles cases in 2017.  The WHO is concerned about an overall routine decline in immunisations in the worst-hit countries. Marginalised groups often don't have access to the vaccine and these countries have experienced problems with vaccine supply. As well, it is thought that their disease surveillance systems are not performing well.  Large outbreaks also occurred in Greece (967), Germany (927), Serbia (702), Tajikistan (649), France (520), the Russian Federation (408), Belgium (369), the UK (282), Bulgaria (167), Spain (152), Czechia (146) and Switzerland (105).  Ireland was not amongst the countries with the highest level of cases, However, last week the HSE did warn that the number of measles cases is rising, as there were at least 12 cases reported in Limerick.  The HSE recommends that parents have their children immunised with the MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccine in order to keep their children healthy.  It is advised that children receive their first MMR vaccine at 12 months old and the second dose at 4 or 5 years of age. If your child missed their second MMR you should contact your GP. As well, adults are at risk for the disease.  If you or a family member are showing symptoms of the measles (fever, runny nose, cough, runny eyes, or rash) should stay home from school or work, the HSE says. You should then phone the GP that you may have the measles.",13,"ireland"
"5227","Measles outbreak continues to worsen as HSE urges public to get vaccinated  The HSE has received reports of more than 65 cases of measles since the beginning of the year.  So far this year, the HSE has noted three clusters of measles – one in Limerick and two in Dublin – and a number of individual cases around the west and southeast.  However, it is the ages of those being diagnosed that is causing concern in the HSE, as they continue to urge members of the public to get the MMR vaccine.  “Ten to 30 percent of the population under the age of 40 is not vaccinated,” assistant national director for public health at the HSE, Dr Kevin Kelleher said.  The number of children being diagnosed with the disease has been much higher since the start of the year, however, the number of cases of those over the age of 35 being diagnosed has left the HSE concerned.  It is recommended that 95 percent of the population needs to be vaccinated against the disease to prevent the spread of the disease, however, as it stands we are falling short of that.  Measles is a highly contagious disease and for those diagnosed, they can spread it to 90 percent of those they come in close contact with if they are not immune.  The MMR vaccination is available to the public for free from their GP.",13,"ireland"
"5228","Measles Update  The HSE continues to urge adults aged under 40 across the Mid-West to get the MMR vaccine which is available free from GPs.  There are now 25 cases of Measles confirmed in the Mid-West region since the beginning of the year. The majority of these are in Limerick City and one is in Clare but linked to Limerick. Almost two-thirds of cases are aged between 15 and 40 years demonstrating that measles is not just an illness of childhood. Half of the cases have been hospitalised.  Measles is a serious public health issue. It is so contagious that if one person has it, 90% of the people close to that person who are not immune will also become infected. It is spread easily through coughing and sneezing. Measles can lead to serious complications such as pneumonia and inflammation of the brain and can, in rare cases, lead to a fatal disease of the brain which develops years after the infection. The mortality rate from measles infection is 1-2 per 1,000 cases.  This measles outbreak is continuing because we do not have herd immunity – i.e. the proportion of the population immune to measles is less than 95%.  The only effective protection against measles is two doses of the MMR vaccine. Anyone who has not had two doses of MMR is at high risk of getting measles if they come in contact with someone who has it. Many adults this age also have young children, which means they are more likely to be exposed to measles and may in turn expose their babies and young children to measles if they get it.  HSE Advice for adults  The following groups, in particular, should check if they have had two doses of MMR and if not, visit their GP to get immunised as soon as possible. If people do not have a medical record of their vaccination it is not harmful to have extra doses to be on the safe side.  · Parents under the age of 40 who have never had measles or haven’t had the full course of MMR vaccine  · Adults under the age of 40 who work with the public. Some jobs pose more of a risk than others e.g. people who work with children, people who work in healthcare, those who work in education, those working in public offices or services and those who work in retail premises. Measles is very infectious and as this outbreak continues the risk of exposure continues.  · Couples under the age of 40 who may be planning a family. This is as once a woman is pregnant she is unable to get the MMR vaccine until after the baby arrives. Measles increases the risk of miscarriage and still birth. There is no treatment available which reduces this risk.  · Adults and young people under the age of 40 who plan to travel abroad in the coming months. There are a number of large outbreaks of measles in Europe (the UK, France, Italy, Germany and Romania) and across the world currently. Measles can be transmitted easily within the confined space of an airplane to people who are non-immune.  Measles vaccine was introduced in Ireland in 1985 and MMR in 1988.  · Most of those aged over 40 are immune to measles due to natural infection.  · Most aged 35 - 40 years have had neither measles infection nor MMR vaccination.  · Those aged 30 - 34 may have received 1 dose of MMR.  · Those aged under age 30 years would have had the opportunity to get two doses of MMR but uptake was less than 70% for some age groups.  HSE advice for children  It is also important that parents of children in the region also check if their children have had the vaccines appropriate for their age (1st one at 1 year, 2nd one in Junior Infants in primary school). Parents whose children are sitting exams may wish to prioritise this due to the potential disruption to their exams an infection could cause. It is also especially important in those who are planning to bring their children abroad.  People who cannot get the MMR vaccine i.e. young infants, pregnant women and those whose immune systems are weakened (cancer patients etc.) are relying on the people around them who can get the MMR vaccine to help protect them.  The HSE is providing free MMR vaccination clinics (no appointment needed) in Barrack View Primary Care Centre, Edward Street, Limerick on Thursdays 22nd/29th March, and 5th/12th April, 3-4pm. As part of the outbreak control measures MMR is also being provided free through GPs. The HSE is paying for the vaccine and for the GPs to give the vaccine. Anyone who doesn’t have a medical card will need to give their PPSN.  HSE advice for people who have symptoms of measles infection (rash, fever, cough, temperature)  Stay at home from work. Children should not attend school or creche.  Call the Department of Public Health at 061 – 483338 to advise that you think you/your child may have measles.  Telephone your GP so that they can see you at a time/place when no one else is there (to avoid infecting others).  Your GP may organise a test to confirm the diagnosis – this is usually done by using a small swab that takes a sample of the oral fluid from the mouth.    Patients with symptoms of measles should avoid presenting to the emergency department where possible. If it is necessary to seek urgent care, it is important to inform the ambulance service or emergency department that you have symptoms consistent with measles beforehand so that the appropriate precautions can be taken. Similarly, if you have been in contact with a confirmed case of measles and are seeking medical attention, please inform the healthcare provider before attending.  An Outbreak Control Team made up of representatives from the HSE is involved in managing the outbreak in an effort to prevent further spread. This involves following up on every case of measles or suspected measles, arranging vaccination for people who have been in contact with someone who is infected, running immunisation clinics and outbreak communications.

Today, measles is circulating in many countries in the European region, including Italy, which create obstacles to the achievement of the target of elimination that the member states have worked hard to achieve.The European region has made significant progress towards the elimination of measles and rubella in recent years.

According to the data available to the World Health Organization (WHO), today 5.483 cases of measles have been reported in the European region (WHO classification) for the year 2017. Italy contributes to 43% of these cases. In recent years, the vaccination coverage in Italy for all types of vaccines are showing trends stagnant or in some areas even declining.The WHO recognizes the important efforts of Italy to reverse this trend and join the other 37 European Countries that have successfully interrupted transmission of this disease and prevented the rise of other diseases that are preventable with vaccines.The Director-General of the world health organization regional office for Europe, congratulated the Italian Ministry of Health for the positive steps in ensuring the community more secure and create a culture more aware to close the gap immune.and has encouraged the member Countries to give particular attention to the improvement of the performance of the immune system national, according to the epidemiologic situation in each country. The Ministries of Health are required to develop policies and regulations related to immunization on the basis of the epidemiological situation prevailing.Different national contexts and epidemiological, have led over time to different policies and control systems in the world.

The remaining 14 states have at least one vaccination in their health program. Vaccination against polio is compulsory for both children and adults in 12 countries",13,"italy"

Still, in fact, to occur cases of measles in the territory of the province of Rimini, where from December, an ongoing outbreak that, to date, has involved 36 people. Also in Ravenna since the beginning of the year were recorded 8 cases of the disease, apparently not related, nor between them nor to the outbreak of rimini. Public health interventions made in a timely way in the field in Rimini for the containment of the outbreak have been limited in their effectiveness, due to the low adhesion of the contacts to be susceptible to measures of prophylaxis vaccination post-exposure,because of beliefs contrary to vaccination (so-called no-vax), a factor that has led over the years to create large pockets of the population that is not protected for this disease. In order to increase the number of vaccinated people in the whole of Romagna, the local health authority has given way, as recently announced, a campaign of the active call to vaccination in adults that, if not already vaccinated and if not immunized in any other way, will be allowed to visit at the outpatient clinic, local health boards of the various territories to be vaccinated free of charge . The policies of recovery of the vaccine put in place following the regional law of Emilia Romagna and the decree Lorenzin, have involved children of school age and health care workers, significantly increasing the coverage rates for these target , but leaving substantially unchanged the low coverage rates of young adults. In Italy, in fact, the vaccine antimorbillo is available from 1976, and only since the ’90s, the percentages of coverage have begun to be more significant than protecting children. Here, the campaign, extraordinary vaccination antimorbillosa geared to adults. In areas of Forli, Cesena and Ravenna, the Services are sending a letter of invitation to the people born between 1980 and 1989 (starting from the born in 1989) for which it is not in the register of the vaccination, any dose of vaccination antimorbillosa. The letter will contain an illustration of the disease and its complications and the advantages of individual and collective vaccination, as well as, of course, the practical directions for access by reservation CUP. Have so far been sent 650 letters of invitation (250 to Ravenna, and, 200 in Forli, 200 Cesena) In consideration of the characteristics of an outbreak is still active, in the province of Rimini, the measures are slightly different, and more spacious. The outbreak affects mainly individuals between 17 and 20 years, for which invitations will look primarily to these age groups. The Pediatrics Community, in addition to the invitations already sent to you in accordance with recent laws, is sending letters of invitation to all the children not vaccinated, and those who, being included in the age of the obligation, were repeatedly invited but are still defaulting, is for boys between 16 and 18 years of age, that are released from the obligation of vaccination, for a total of 3663 invitation letters two-thirds of which has already been shipped. These letters provide information about the illness and the vaccine, and we invite families to contact the clinics vaccine for children of the Community during normal business hours, without the need of booking. The Service of Public Hygiene, which takes care of the adults, has already sent the first 1700 letters to people with the age above 18 years, starting from those born in 2001. These letters contain an illustration of the disease and instructions for access to the vaccination, that can be free, without appointment, every Wednesday from 9 am to 18 at the headquarters of Rimini in the Service of Public health Via Coriano, or, on days and different locations, on appointment via the booking CUP. The vaccination is free, it is trivalent, that is, protects against measles, mumps and rubella. It consists of two doses of vaccine inoculated intramuscularly, at a distance of at least 4 weeks from each other, and gives a high degree of protection and long-lasting in respect of the three diseases. The previous immunity, natural or vaccination, or for one or more of these diseases is not a contraindication to vaccination. It's worth remembering that measles is usually of course more serious in adults than in children, and the disease can be accompanied by complications such as ear infections, pneumonia, laringotracheobronchiti and encephalitis. Even if very rarely(in 1 case per one hundred thousand), due to the infection morbillosa may develop several years after infection, a panencefalite sclerosing subacute as a result, late of the disease, with a time course very serious . “It is evident – which highlights the dr. Rafaella Angelini, director of the department of public Health of the Ausl Romagna – such as vaccination represents a fundamental defence for the protection of the individual and of the community. In the face of a very difficult situation, in particular in Romagna, so we decided to turn these special measures, with the aim of approaching, as far as possible to the threshold of the so-called ‘immunity, and of the flock’, thanks to which you can also protect those people who, suffering from some diseases, are not in a position to vaccinate and that, in this situation, are greatly at risk”.",13,"italy"

Fourteen cases recorded in 2012, 56 cases in 2013, 41 cases in 2014, only one case in 2015, 7 in 2016. With regard to the cases notified this year, 89% of the patients affected by measles was not vaccinated, 4% had received only one dose of vaccine, in 7% of cases we do not know the status of vaccination. In this region, the vaccination coverage in children up to 24 months for a dose of vaccine against measles, mumps, and rubella (Mpr) in 2016 was 83% (a figure which is lower than the national, 87%). The World Health Organization fixed at 95%, the safety threshold minimum for the coverage of vaccines: below 95% pathogens continue to circulate, putting at risk the health of all. This is the threshold related to the so-called immunity of the flock (or of the population or heard immunity): if at least 95% of the population is vaccinated, you protect, indirectly, also those who, for health reasons, it has not been possible to submit to vaccination, as reported by the associated press.

At the national level approximately 30% of the cases of measles that have been reported concerning health care staff is not vaccinated. For this, one is studying a measure that will allow the health care staff is not vaccinated and access to vaccination”. An intervention is clear, and shareable.

And more than 600 are not covered against tetanus. This is the photograph taken by the department of prevention of Usl Brand. The healthcare company wanted to make the point a few days from the first day of the new school year. There is no possibility to follow a soft line. The law Lorenzin, the one on the obligation of vaccination, in full force and effect, is clear: children are not vaccinated that have not secured an appointment to the local health unit to perform the injections will be declared ineligible in the kindergartens and in pre-schools. In September, we will be able to set foot in the classroom. The institutes have sent lists of new members to the health company to check every single situation. This last one has responded highlighted the little ones who are not in the rule. The beginning of the year will have the effect of a showdown. THE CHECKS ""In our province we have between the 3% and 4% of children in age from nursery school that is in default with the obligation of vaccination. And' for a considerable share explains Sandro Cinquetti, director of Hygiene and public Health of the Usl at the time the schools are evaluating the documents in detail. There are only two ways for the breach: or the families keep them at home, or they will be declared ineligible and the school. To be able to attend the classes must at least make an appointment and then proceed with the vaccinations. The law allows it. For our part, we are able to do everything in a short time. This allows you to verify if the person who makes an appointment then it has really in a clinic"". In short, you can't play with the referrals, as did some family novax during the last school year. Some of the trusted in a change in the law Lorenzin. Today there is still discussion in the Parliament a draft law that aims to introduce the so-called obligation flexible. That is, to give the Regions the possibility to modulate the vaccination activities based on the dimensions of the covers and situations that are epidemic. But it is still being interlocutory. The DATA AND also in the light of the government crisis, it is in fact impossible to be approved before the start of the new school year. The data are in net thousand children under six years of age are not vaccinated against the measles, 700 are not against the polio and just over 600 for the tetanus. Why these differences? ""With regard to tetanus, a vaccine is monovalent. Some parents limit themselves to a single tetanus injection stresses Cinquetti in addition to this there is the immunity of the flock as a factor of protection"". That is why it is more popular even among those who continue to look with a certain distrust vaccines. The recent story of the little girl verona, 10 years non-vaccinated and affected by tetanus, then, has given rise to some fear in most. THE UNDER-16, Expanding the horizon, they are almost 6 thousand children and young people under 16 years who have not even responded to the obligation of vaccination. But in this moment, we will focus on those under the age of six because those who attend elementary, middle and high school, the school of the obligation, can not be suspended. There is dancing in the discussion of the fines. The address is to impose on all the violators a fine of 180 euros, equal to one-third of the maximum of the scissors provided. In this regard, however, expect regional arrangements to avoid that the Usl will proceed in random order. What is certain is that the obligation of vaccination led to an increase of coverage in the Brand name. ""The classic indicator for measuring the adhesion is the polio. At the provincial level, the coverage for the class of 2017 is at 92% reveals Cinquetti aim to increase this to 95% by the end of the year. There are 185 children still to be vaccinated. Some families are hardcore, others are convincibili"". There are substantial differences in the area: Treviso is above 95%, Pieve di Soligo travel on the 92%, while the area of Asolo effort between 87 and 88%. Why? ""The district of Asolo, which is historical, and derives from the influence of some doctors anti-vaccinisti who have been very active in that area that concludes Cinquetti and that have also impacted on the attitude and on the opinions of a few pediatrician.

Despite the fact that it is considered primarily a disease of childhood, measles can occur in patients of any age. Although the elimination of endemic measles in the U.S. in 2000 and lasted for at least a year, in accordance with the study by the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, that is, of the Centre for control and Prevention of Diseases, abbreviated as CDC), there are cases still caused by the virus coming into the country of travellers from abroad, with the spread of mostly common among persons niezaszczepionych. In 88 percent. registered cases between 2000 and 2011. the virus comes from countries outside the United States, and 2 in 3 patients who developed measles were not vaccinated. CDC has documented that in 2013. the number of measles cases in the U.S. has grown three times in comparison with previous years - up to 175. Most of these cases concerned the epidemic in children whose parents refused immunization (vaccination). This trend of increasing morbidity remained in 2014. From 1 January to 23 may 2014. it is reported 288 confirmed cases, the CDC, the number of which has exceeded the declared annual total number of cases (220 cases in 2011). Of the 288 cases, 200 (69%) were observed in patients niezaszczepionych and 58 (20%) in individuals after vaccination. Almost all found still cases in 2014. (280 [97%]) involved the importation of at least 18 countries. Of the confirmed cases, 42 have been linked to exposure at Disneyland or Disney California Adventure Park in Anaheim, California.

Gastanaduy "" showed that during the epidemic of measles in 2014. the spread of the disease occurred in niezaszczepionej Amish community, but isolation of patients, quarantine of vulnerable people and the MMR vaccine for more than 10,000 people spread measles was limited to about 1 percent. in the Amish country 322,630. This means that is crucial not only vaccinations, but also quick response to the occurrence of diseases by use of isolation of patients. It is therefore important that we were able to quickly recognize the measles. Can it be confused with other diseases?

The measles is “one of the main causes of death among young children”, according to the WHO. In 2015, killed in the world to 15 people per hour (134.200 a year), but in the 80's, before the generalization of the vaccine, its victims per year amounted to 2.6 million. The who estimates that between 2000 and 2015, the immunization campaigns against this evil, they have saved about 20.3 million lives, making this vaccine, “in one of the best investments in public health”. The resurgence of measles in Europe is concerned WHO and the European Centre for disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), which have been issued in the last few weeks releases warning of the gravity of the situation. WHO stood out on the 28th of march, which in January had been registered in the continent more than 500 cases. The last large outbreak erupted in February of 2016 in Romania, a country where since then they have recorded more than 4,000 cases and 18 deaths. “The progress of the measles in Romania is due to the movement antivacunas, driven by the orthodox Church and some television journalists”, indicates Llorente Aginagalde. In Italy, according to the ECDC, there has been to 1333 cases so far this year, compared with 884 in around 2016. “The cause is also the decline in the rate of vaccination”. From the Ministry of Health Italian is the fault of that situation the Movement 5 Stars, who is accused of encouraging the distrust towards the vaccination LEVEL OF IMMUNIZATION, “measles is a disease much more contagious than, for example, the avian flu. To slow down its expansion, the rate of vaccination has not to lose 95% of the child population”, warns Llorente Aginagalde. In Romania it is below and also in Italy, where in 2013 stood at 88% and in 2015 at 85.3%. In fact, most of the registered cases in Europe are concentrated in seven countries with vaccination coverage of less than 95% and where measles is still endemic: Germany, France, Italy, Poland, Romania, Switzerland and Ukraine. In Spain, a country free of the virus where the majority of the population is protected, the cases are imported, as happened in Barcelona in January following a patient from China. “The travel patterns of current will not be put to any person or country outside of the scope of the measles virus. Outbreaks continue in Europe, as in other places, until each country reaches the level of immunization necessary to fully protect its population”, says Zsuzsanna Jakab, regional director of the WHO in Europe. “You have to get compliance with the vaccination calendar and receipt of the second dose to the immunization is complete,” says Llorente. While in Spain, the coverage exceeds 95%, the expert warns that there are pockets of marginalization that are difficult to reach and highlights the initiatives in this line have been launched by the health authorities of the Basque Country and Catalonia, the communities that border with France, where the virus circulates freely. The fraud of the antivacunas The british doctor Andrew Wakefield published in 1998 in The Lancet, a study that claimed the mmr vaccine -against measles, rubella and mumps - caused autism. It turned out to be a fraud of his author, who was disbarred in the Uk, to earn millions through businesses based in the fear of the vaccines. But their effect was the collapse of the vaccination rates in the Uk and other countries, like the united States where the antivacunas has the support of stars of film and television. The WHO estimates that immunization prevents each year in the world between two and three million deaths only for diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough and measles. Selection DN ",13,"spain"
"29612","Close to 360,000 children under the age of 5 years, many of them displaced by the severe drought, will be vaccinated against measles in Somalia in a campaign of emergency that will last until the end of may, said today the Fund of United Nations Children's fund (Unicef). The program, which counts with the collaboration of the somali Government and the World Health Organization (WHO), among other agencies, expected to vaccinate 110,000 children in the city of Baidoa, in south-central, and other 250,000 in Somaliland, in the north. ""Among all the diseases preventable by vaccination, there is another more lethal than the measles,"" said Unicef Somalia representative, Steven Lauwerier, in a press release. As he explained, ""by the famine of 2011, we know very well that the measles, combined with the malnutrition and displacement, is a lethal mixture for the children."" In the last few days, efforts have been focused in Baidoa and its surroundings, some of the areas most affected by the drought, where more than 100,000 people have arrived in search of help, some 70,000 of them just in the month of march, according to data from Unicef. Some 30,000 children are being vaccinated this week in this city, many of whom had not been immunized previously because they come from remote areas to which humanitarian workers can hardly access. Measles, a viral infection that is spread through the air and contact with infected mucus and saliva, is developed in displaced persons camps saturated and insalubles have proliferated, for example, in Baidoa. So far this year, there have been almost 5,700 suspected cases of measles throughout the country, thus exceeding the total number of cases in 2016. ""The only way to prevent disease and death from measles is to ensure that all children receive the vaccine,"" said Lauwerier. He explained that a child suffering severe acute malnutrition is nine times more likely to die of a disease like measles that a child healthy. Currently, more than half of the somali population suffers severe food insecurity, due to the intense drought that asuela the country, which is on the verge of a famine like the famine that occurred in 2011, when it killed some 260,000 people. The scarcity of water has led to an increase in price, so that communities have been forced to rely on sources not drinking, which has increased the risk of contracting diseases such as cholera. According to WHO data, the epidemic of cholera has already killed more than 500 people and threatens to affect 50,000 before the summer. This emergency campaign also includes the supply of a vitamin a supplement to boost the immunization and tablets of de-worming.",13,"spain"

This research has also shown large differences in the risk of transmission from one patient to another. The study in question, published in the journal 'Eurosurveillance', shows that the cases had lower levels of virus in the upper respiratory tract and less cough of measles in individuals not vaccinated. On the other hand, the first caused no onward transmission. This type of infections seem to be much less contagious, and were not able to identify any subsequent transfer of individuals with an infection as well, according to Nicklas Sundell, the first author of the study, researcher of the Academy Sahlgrenska and infectious disease physician at the University Hospital Sahlgrenska, Sweden). According to the researchers, the findings should help to quickly identify who has what type of measles during an outbreak, thus facilitating the measures of infection control to limit the tracking of contacts around the infections epidemic. Of the 28 cases of measles identified in outbreak of Gothenburg, 16 were infections of high-risk and 12 were mild infections.

Up to now, the total annual highest cases of measles between 2010 and 2017 was 23.927 last year, and the lowest was 5.273 in 2016. The monthly reports of the countries also indicate that at least 37 people have died due to measles so far this year. ""After the number of cases is the lowest of the decade in 2016, we are seeing a dramatic increase in infections and outbreaks. We call on all countries to immediately deploy measures appropriate to the context to stop the spread of this disease. Good health for all begins with the immunization, and while not the removal of this disease we are not abiding by our commitments to Sustainable Development Goals,"" says dr Zsuzsanna Jakab, WHO's regional director for Europe. Seven countries of the European Region of the WHO have suffered at least 1,000 infections in children and adults this year, namely France, Georgia, germany, Greece, Italy, Russia, Serbia and Ukraine. Ukraine has been the most affected, with more than 23,000 people infected, which represents more than half of the regional total. Reported measles-related deaths in all these countries, and Serbia reported the highest number of deaths. According to the latest evaluation of the European Commission Check for Regional Elimination of Measles and Rubella (RVC, for its acronym in English), published on Monday, 43 of the 53 member states of the Region have interrupted the propagation of endemic measles and 42 have managed to stop the rubella, according to reports from 2017. CONCERN in the light of these data, RVC has expressed ""its concern about the surveillance, inappropriate disease and low immunization coverage in some countries."" It has also come to the conclusion that the chains of measles transmission continued for more than 12 months in some countries that had interrupted the spread of endemic disease, returning to its state endemic. ""This backward part proves that every person who is not immune is still vulnerable no matter where you live, and each country must continue to pressure to increase the coverage and close the gaps immune, even after achieving the state interrupted or eliminated,"" said dr. Nedret Emiroglu, director, Division of Health Emergencies and Communicable Diseases of the WHO Regional Office for Europe. ",13,"spain"

The measles outbreak continues to grow at an alarming rate, said the municipal director of Health Oxiris Barbot, who recalled that the case began last October, and that many of these have been confirmed during the last two months, of which 246 cases are in children under the age of 18 years. A total of 39 cases have occurred in adults, and according to Barbot, who is a pediatrician, have occurred in individuals who have not been vaccinated or who do not have all the vaccines, as reported in a press release. He stressed that there have been no deaths related to the outbreak but there has been complications, including 21 hospitalizations and 5 admissions to the intensive care unit. According to the Department of Health, have been reported, most cases of measles in the jewish communities of Williamsburg and Borough Park in Brooklyn. Five of them, including the first cases that we know of this outbreak, were infected during a visit to Israel, where it is happening a major epidemic of the disease. Barbot made an appeal to new yorkers, and in particular to the orthodox jewish community to take advantage of the period in which we celebrate the ""Passover"" or the Jewish Passover (from 19 to 27 April) to get the vaccine against measles, mumps and rubella to prevent the spread of the virus. He further indicated that the individuals who travel to areas with widespread outbreaks of measles in the course, including Israel, Europe, the north of New York city and other parts of EE.UU should ensure that they and their children are vaccinated appropriately against measles. ""As a pediatrician, I know that the vaccine against measles, mumps and rubella is safe and effective. This outbreak is being fueled by a small group against vaccines in this neighborhood. Have been spreading misinformation dangerous based on data not supported by science,"" said Barbot. ""We have seen a great increase in the number of people vaccinated in this neighborhood, but, to the extent that it is about the 'Passover' we need to do everything we can to ensure that more people get immunized,"" said in the statement. Bardot reminded that measles is a highly contagious disease that can cause pneumonia, encephalitis, and death, and that is easily prevented with a safe and effective vaccine. Also warned that newborns, pregnant women and those with a weak immune system cannot be vaccinated. For this reason, he said, it is important that all around us are vaccinated to protect them from contracting the virus that can have serious complications in this susceptible population. The symptoms, which include fever, cough, runny nose, and red, watery eyes, may appear between 10 and 12 days after exposure, although in some cases can be displayed in seven days or take as long as 21 days.",13,"spain"
"45513","UK health bosses have warned Britain could face a measles epidemic if parents fail to vaccinate their kids against the disease. A new study has shown more than half a million children in the UK have not had the MMR vaccine - meaning they are unprotected from measles. New figures show more than 500,000 UK youngsters were not vaccinated against measles during an eight-year period. The Unicef research was released at a time when measles cases have nearly quadrupled in Britain in just one year.  Why are parents are still not giving their kids MMR vaccine? The head of the NHS has described vaccine refusal as a “growing public health timebomb"" - but so many parents still refuse to give their children the MMR vaccine. Measles can cause pneumonia, seizures, inflammation of the brain, disability, and even death. But parents became panicked over the side-effects of the MMR vaccine following the release of a controversial paper published in the Lancet in 1998 which raised fears about a link with autism. This study has since been debunked, with the Cochrane Collaboration review bringing together evidence from 54 different scientific studies in 2012 to prove no such link existed. But still increasing numbers of youngsters are being left unprotected.  UK measles outbreak: A shocking number of UK kids are unvaccinated against measles  The charity Unicef claims inaccurate and misleading anti-vaccination messages on social media are partly to blame for plummeting vaccine rates. Unicef's analysis shows that an estimated 169 million children around the world missed out on the first dose of the measles vaccine between 2010 and 2017 - an average of 21.1 million a year. While in some cases the failure to get children vaccinated is due to lack of access, poor health systems, and complacency, Unicef believes there is “growing skepticism about vaccines.” A list of 10 high-income countries, published by Unicef, shows the US has the highest number of children missing out on their first dose of the vaccine.  UK measles outbreak: A growing number of UK children don't have the MMR vaccine  Between 2010 and 2017, some 2,593,000 youngsters in the USA did not have their first dose of the vaccine. The second most affected country was France, with 608,000 unvaccinated children over the same time period, followed by the UK, with 527,000. Chief executive of NHS England, Simon Stevens, said: ""Getting yourself and your children vaccinated against killer diseases is essential to staying healthy, and vaccine rejection is a serious and growing public health timebomb. ""With measles cases almost quadrupling in England in just one year, it is grossly irresponsible for anybody to spread scare stories about vaccines, and social media firms should have a zero-tolerance approach towards this dangerous content.""

"46013","People who have recently settled in Wakefield may be vulnerable to measles, a public health report has warned.  A report by the city’s Health and Wellbeing Board said residents who have arrived in the area from other European countries could be at risk if they have not been vaccinated against the condition.  A nationwide rise in the number of people suffering from the contagious disease during the past 12 months has prompted concern among medics, with 37 cases reported in West Yorkshire this year alone.  Since 1988, most newborn babies in the UK have been given the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine (MMR), which gives lifelong protection from all three illnesses.  Although most of Wakefield’s population has been vaccinated, concern remains for those who were not born in the UK and have not had the jab.  Measles often causes a skin rash made up of flat red blotches, as well as tiny white spots on the tongue and the symptoms of a fever.  Although the vast majority of cases pass after two weeks, the disease can be fatal on rare occasions, and is particularly dangerous for children.  The report said: “Between 1 January and 9 May 2018, 440 laboratory confirmed measles cases were reported in England. In Yorkshire and the Humber, 37 cases have been reported in West Yorkshire, with a previous outbreak in Leeds and currently there is an ongoing outbreak in Bradford.  “As well as being a serious highly infectious disease with ongoing health effects and a risk of death this also puts pressure on an already overstretched health system. Vaccination with two doses of MMR vaccine remains the most effective measure to prevent the spread of measles.”  The report added: “Although MMR coverage is good regionally and in Wakefield, learning from previous outbreaks indicates that there are some pockets of the population which remain vulnerable and where vaccination coverage is lower.  “Vulnerable groups, include recent new entrants who may not be up to date with MMR and individuals from European countries where there are ongoing outbreaks.”",13,"uk"

There were 25 Irish cases in 2017 compared to 86 in 2018, but 10 countries account for three-quarters of the global rise.  UNICEF has warned of the ""disastrous"" consequences for children if the disease continues spreading unchecked following a worldwide survey undertaken by the UN children's agency.  This is a wake up call. Lack of action today will have disastrous consequences for children tomorrow. #VaccinesWork @unicefchief https://t.co/G5zcAbouP3 — UNICEF (@UNICEF) March 1, 2019  Several other countries had been declared measles free previously, but have now seen new cases, indicating an erosion in the progress made against the highly preventable but potentially deadly disease.  Peter Power, UNICEF Ireland’s Executive Director, said;  “This is a wake-up call. We have a safe, effective and inexpensive vaccine against a highly contagious disease- a vaccine that has saved almost a million lives every year over the last two decades.""  These cases haven’t happened overnight. Just as the serious outbreaks we are seeing today took hold in 2018, lack of action today will have disastrous consequences for children tomorrow,"" he continued.  Image: UNICEF  Measles is a highly contagious disease, even more so than Ebola, influenza and tuberculosis. It can be contracted up to two hours after an infected person has left a room, spreading through air and infecting the respiratory tract.  It is potentially fatal to malnourished children and babies who are too young to have obtained the vaccine. There is no specific treatment for measles once infected, making the vaccine a life-saving tool.  Increases were noted in areas where access to vaccines has been disrupted and in countries experiencing war and strife, but also states undergoing more “vaccine hesitancy” caused by the spread of anti-vaccine misinformation.  Image: UNICEF  Peter Power comment on the increased mistrust regarding vaccines in recent years;  “Almost all of these cases are preventable, and yet children are getting infected even in places where there is simply no excuse,” he said.  “Measles may be the disease, but, all too often, the real infection is misinformation, mistrust and complacency. We must do more to accurately inform every parent, to help us safely vaccinate every child.”  In the 10 worst-affected countries, the Philippines, Brazil and Ukraine have noted the largest increases in measles cases. In the US, reports of the disease have increased six-fold since 2017, reaching 791 cases.

The report is blaming the worldwide surge on a perfect storm of inferior health infrastructure, war, a lack of effective health education, complacency, misinformation and vaccine hesitancy in both developing and developed countries.  UNICEF is issuing an urgent appeal to governments, healthcare providers and parents to fight the disease with more action.  Image: UNICEF  According to their statement understanding that vaccines are safe and effective and can save a child’s life is a key point of information, as well as the importance of vaccinating all children between the ages of six months to five years during outbreaks.  Training and equipping health workers so they can provide quality services is necessary, and strengthening immunisation programmes to deliver all life-saving vaccines.

Public Health England is urging people to check they are up-to-date with two doses of the MMR vaccine after seven cases of the disease were reported in Surrey.  As of December 14 more than 75 cases had been reported in the UK although no cases have yet been reported in Sussex, a spokesman for Public Health England said.  The call to make sure people are protected against the disease comes ahead of people gathering for Christmas celebrations.  Dr Margot Nicholls, Consultant in Communicable Disease Control with Public Health England (PHE) South East, said: “Measles is extremely infectious. Christmas is fast approaching and gatherings will be held where the disease can spread easily.  “It is really important that anyone who hasn’t had two doses of the MMR vaccine contacts their GP surgery to get up-to-date. If you’re unsure whether you or your children have had the vaccine, check your child’s Red Book or contact your GP surgery to find out. You do not need to seek additional vaccines if you and your children have had two MMR vaccines in the past.  “With ongoing outbreaks in other parts of Europe including Romania, Italy and Germany, we’re also warning that anyone travelling to these countries for the festive period is at particular high risk. If you’re planning to go to these countries, contact your GP to arrange an appointment for vaccination before you travel, if you’ve not received two MMR doses in the past.”  Anyone with symptoms of the disease is advised to stay at home and phone their GP or NHS 111 for advice in the first instance to prevent the illness spreading further.  Dr Nicholls added: “Members of the public should be vigilant for the symptoms of measles, including high fever; sore, red, watery eyes, coughing, aching and feeling generally unwell and a blotchy red brown rash, which usually appears after the initial symptoms.  “If you’re concerned that you or your child may have measles, please do not go to A&E or your GP surgery straight away. Instead telephone your GP or ring NHS 111 for advice. This will prevent measles being spread to other people who may be vulnerable. If you think you have symptoms and your surgery is closed for the festive period, telephone NHS 111 for advice – do not go straight to A&E.  “If you think you could have measles, it’s also really important to stay away from areas where you could come into contact with lots of other people – so stay away from any Christmas gatherings if you have symptoms, and especially from vulnerable patients in hospitals, care homes or other settings. We understand Christmas is a time to visit loved ones, but measles can be serious for these groups and spreads easily in these places.”",13,"uk"

The Lancet retracted the report in 2010 and Wakefield was struck off the medical register PA  Here, we take a look at everything you need to know about measles, from signs and symptoms to treatment options.  What is measles?  Measles is a highly infectious viral illness that if left untreated can lead to serious complications, the NHS states.  Anyone can get measles if they have not been vaccinated or haven’t had it before. However, it is most common in young children.  What are the symptoms?  Symptoms of measles develop between six and 19 days after contact with the infection, Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH) states.  The first symptoms, which usually last two or three days, include feeling generally unwell and having a runny nose, cough, sore eyes, and a fever which may be as high as 40C.  Children may also complain that bright light hurts their eyes.  Some children develop ’Koplik’s spots’ – tiny white spots on a red background inside the mouth – a day or two before a blotchy red-brown skin rash may appear  This usually starts on the head or upper neck before spreading outwards to the rest of the body, the NHS states.  What is the meningitis glass test?  The meningitis rash test is a way of telling if blood poising (septicaemia) has occurred as a result of meningitis. If a rash does not fade when pressed against a glass, the NHS states you should seek medical advice right away.  Meningitis Now – the first meningitis patient group in the world – say the best way to perform the glass test is to:  Press the side of a clear glass firmly against the skin  Spots/rash may fade at first  Keep checking  Fever with spots/rash that do not fade under pressure is a medical emergency  However, the organisation does advise that you should not wait for a rash to appear to seek medical help. If someone is and suffering from symptoms thought to be as a result of measles, get medical help immediately.  How does measles spread?  According to the NHS, the measles virus is contained in the millions of tiny droplets that come out of the nose and mouth when an infected person coughs or sneezes.  This means you can easily catch measles by breathing in these droplets or by touching a surface the droplets have settled on and then placing your hands near your nose or mouth.  People with measles are infectious from when the symptoms develop until about four days after the rash first appears.  Can measles be prevented?  The most effective way of preventing measles is through the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine, GOSH states.  Most children in the UK receive the MMR immunisation; the first dose is offered at 13 months and the second at three years and four months.  Adults and older children can be vaccinated at any age if they haven't been fully vaccinated before.  For more information about the vaccination, the NHS advises to consult your GP.  You can find out more about the dangers of unvaccinated children here.  How is it treated?  The NHS states that there are several things you can do to help relieve your symptoms and reduce the risk of spreading the infection.  These include:  taking paracetamol or ibuprofen to relieve fever, aches and pains (aspirin should not be given to children under 16 years old)  drinking plenty of water to avoid dehydration  closing the curtains to help reduce light sensitivity  using damp cotton wool to clean the eyes  staying off school or work for at least 4 days from when the rash first appears  In severe cases, especially if there are complications, you or your child may need to be admitted to hospital for treatment.  How common is measles?  In April, the WHO revealed that initial figures showed that 112,163 cases of the highly infectious disease were reported across 170 countries since January, compared to 28,124 in the same period in 2018.  During that time period, health officials confirmed that 555 measles cases had been confirmed in the US alone.  And while 20 states had reported cases, New York was been the epicentre, accounting for two-thirds of all cases.  The organisation stated that there had been a 300 per cent rise in cases reported in Europe – which last year saw the highest number of cases for a decade – and a nearly 700 per cent rise across Africa.  In Madagascar, the infection had killed more than 1,200 people. The country is facing its largest measles outbreak in history, with the number of recorded cases growing beyond 115,000.  Outbreaks have also been recorded in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Myanmar, the Philippines, Sudan, Thailand and Ukraine.

The world health organization (WHO) had actually the goal of measles by 2015 in Europe, to eradicate. 2012 seemed to be in reach, as the number of diseases had decreased since the introduction of the reporting obligation in 2001, and it was in the year 186 measles cases. However, the WHO failed to the target. In the following year, ten times as many people fell ill to the measles. The number of cases varies from year to year and differs regionally. In 2015, the disease is not met nationwide as many people as already long not more, while the situation in Bavaria was Far from being so tense. The highlight of these reports on the measles cases in Germany and in Bayern: Currently, a new measles outbreak in Germany warns the RKI is again in front of a measles outbreak in Germany. In the first four weeks of the year 2017, more than 40 diseases have been reported. Also in Bavaria, there are cases of measles. In the past ten years, there have been in the first four weeks of the year in 2011, and in the heavily affected 2015 more reported measles cases: The RKI is assumed that 2017 will be a rather strong year for measles, and warns of an increased risk of infection. Only the previously reported cases, but also the Situation in the case of vaccinations, do not speak. Measles: gaps threaten especially Metropolitan areas measles cases vary according to the RKI therefore, from year to year, so strong, because after a wave of Illness, the affected people are immune to it. ""Then, if new children are born and grow rise to the cases again,"" says spokeswoman Susanne Glasmacher. According to the RKI measles were already no longer a Problem, if all the people in Germany did not vaccinate. ""Instead, there are in children and adults, but are still large gaps, through the measles, especially in conurbations such as Munich, have an easy job,"" says Glasmacher. Two vaccinations to protect against measles. The first to have children, ideally at the age of 11 to 14 months, the second at the age of 15 to 23 months. A refresher is not necessary later. Glass-maker says: ""Up to the age of two years children should be immune, but unfortunately, the vaccinations are often carried out later on."" The measles 1 / 9 Back Forward The measles should be eradicated in Germany, actually, up to the year 2015. The opposite is the case. What you need to know about the disease: measles are caused by a Virus and are highly contagious. The measles pathogen is spread via the air (airborne spread) and in direct physical contact. Symptoms of the disease are fever, cough, runny nose, and a measles-typical rash are. Possible complications of measles-pneumonia, or inflammation of the brain (Meningitis) are. With increasing age, the risk for complications increases. In adults, complications are more common than in children, and the disease course is more severe. Measles are one of the notifiable diseases. Anyone who is sick with the measles, will not suffer in his whole life once again. The immune system forms antibodies against the Virus and stores it in the body. However, not only in children, there are dangerous gaps. Only half of young adults have a vaccination against measles, and fewer still had both. In Germany, the measles vaccine in 1970, was introduced. Therefore, it is missing many of the adults who were born before that. The RKI recommends that in the absence of protection, at least one vaccination in adults age catching up to do - because if everyone vaccinated could be, could be eradicated the measles in fact. More about measles: measles: Often the second vaccination is missing: In the district of Neuburg-Schrobenhausen, only about half of the two-year-old child has the full protection against measles. In the Kreis Günzburg measles are deadheaded: measles is easily transmissible from humans to humans. Its consequences can be fatal. Now there should be a case in the district of Günzburg. The health Department has tips. Cases of measles in several States: measles not only in Berlin but also in other Federal States is increasingly a Problem. The RKI recommends a measles vaccination.

"6741","03-Nov-2017 Measles. In 2016, almost 90 thousand dead in the world. Who aims at the eradication by 2020. The only weapon the vaccination for all 20,000 cases of measles in Europe, almost 5000 of which, only in Italy, where we have had so far 4 dead. And to say that according to the WHO, by 2020 we should have eradicated the Measles! Already in 2012, the Who had approved an action plan with the objective to eliminate measles in four Who regions by 2015 and in five regions by 2020. But the objectives have not been achieved. For this coming new recommendations for greater attention to the improvement of the systems of immunization and surveillance, to ensure the achievement of the objectives and consolidate the results achieved up to now. Here's how. THE PLAN OF THE WHO. OCT 27 – measles is one of the leading causes of death among young children even if there is a vaccine that is safe and convenient. In 2016, were 89.780 the dead, even if for the first time has fallen below the 100 thousand year. This is because the vaccination against measles has resulted in a decrease of 84% of deaths between 2000 and 2016 in all over the world. In 2016, approximately 85% of the world's children received one dose of measles vaccine within the first yearsof life through health services the ordinary: the year 2000 was 72 percent. During the period 2000-2016, the measles vaccination has prevented approximately 20.4 million deaths, making measles vaccine one of the best buys in public health. In 2012, the shareholders ' Meeting approved the global action plan on vaccines, with the goal to eliminate measles in four Who regions by 2015 and in five regions by 2020. But the group of experts in strategic consulting for immunization (SAGE) of the Who concluded that the overall results of the 2015 targets and elimination of the measles have not been achieved. For this, SAGE recommends greater attention to the improvement of the systems of immunization and surveillance, in general, to ensure that the gains made so far in the control of measles can be sustained. And it has also produced a review in 2016 of the global plan of action on vaccines. “Save an average of 1.3 million lives a year through the vaccine against measles is an incredible result and makes it possible to have a world free from measles even short-term, “ says Robert Linkins, of the Initiative on measles and rubella (MR . The plan provides clear strategies for managers of immunization national, collaborating with national and international partners, to achieve the objectives of control and elimination of measles and rubella, 2015 and 2020. By the end of 2015 the plan aimed to: • reduce the death an unhealthy global measles of at least 95% compared to 2000 levels • achieve the goals of measles elimination regular and rubella / congenital rubella (CRS). By the end of 2020, the plan aims to: • achieve the elimination of measles and rubella in at least 5 Who regions. The Who will continue to strengthen the global network of the laboratory to ensure prompt diagnosis of measles and track the international spread of measles virus to allow for a more coordinated approach in the targeting of the activities of vaccination and reduce the death of measles from a disease prevented by the vaccine. The strategic plan 2012-2020 explains how countries, working in cooperation with the initiative of MR, and with its partners, will achieve a world without measles and rubella. The plan is based on the experience and on the successes of a decade of efforts to control measles, which have led to a reduction of 74% of all deaths globally between 2000 and 2010. Integrates the most recent policy of the Who on vaccination against rubella of 2011, which recommended to combine control strategies, and planning measles and rubella, the date the surveillance shared and the widespread use of formulations of the vaccine against the MR, and measles-mumps-rubella (MMR). The plan presents clear strategies that managers of immunization national, collaborating with national and international partners, can use as a template to achieve the goals of control and elimination of measles and rubella. The strategy focuses on the implementation of five main components. 1. Achieve and maintain high levels of immunization of the population, by providing high vaccination coverage with two doses of vaccines containing measles and rubella. 2. Monitor the disease using effective surveillance and evaluate the planned efforts to ensure progress. 3. Develop and maintain the alert for any outbreaks, respond rapidly to outbreaks and manage cases. 4. Communicate and engage to build confidence and public demand for immunization. 5. Perform research and development necessary to support business operations and improve vaccines and diagnostic tools. The plan also examines the main challenges for the control and elimination of measles and rubella, including: financial risks",13,"italy"

"22916","2 Shares Share Tweet on the occasion of the ongoing epidemics of measles in several european countries (Italy, Romania, Germany) and the recording of cases in Greece both in the general population and health professionals, the Institute Prolepsis highlights the need to promote vaccination to health professionals and gives us the necessary information for the prevention of disease and the associated vaccine. It should be noted that the measles is spread extremely easily from person to person through droplets in the breath. Adults born after 1970 in Greece, you must either confirm their immunity to measles, mumps and rubella, or have a clear history of 2 doses of MMR vaccine. According to the data for the MMR vaccine, the specific vaccine is in 2 doses, injected under the skin or in muscle, with an interval of 4-6 weeks. If one dose of the vaccine has been administered in the past at the age of >12 months, then you may be given an extra dose at any time. I don't need to repeat all of the shape. The vaccine contains live, attenuated viruses of measles, mumps and rubella. Who needs to be vaccinated with the MMR health professionals of all disciplines as well as volunteers who have contact with patients and were born after 1975 in Greece, you should have received 2 doses of the vaccine to have full protection. Also, the health professionals are not immune and have been exposed to measles, rubella, or mumps(mumps) can make the MMR vaccine within 72 hours of exposure to prevent the onset of symptoms. In addition, individuals who are immunocompromised due to disease or medication have an increased risk of complications and may require administration of prepared antibodies for the prevention of the disease. End exposed pregnant health care professionals should not receive the MMR vaccine but only ready-made antibodies (<U+03B1><U+03BD><U+03BF><U+03C3><U+03C6><U+03B1><U+03B9><U+03C1><U+03AF><U+03BD><U+03B7>). The effectiveness of the MMR vaccine, THE first dose of the vaccine is at age 12 months or later and provides: 95% coverage of measles 80% coverage of the mumps 90% coverage from the red, probably forever. The two doses <U+03C7><U+03BF><U+03C1><U+03B7><U+03B3><U+03B7>µ<U+03AD><U+03BD><U+03B5><U+03C2> with an interval of 4-6 weeks between them provide: 99,7% protection from measles, which can be reduced over time. 80%-95% protection against mumps, which gradually decreases over time. What we know about the diseases and The systematic use of the vaccine for the measles in the 60's led to a >99% reduction in the number of cases until 2001. Since they appear regularly important epidemics in many countries of the European Union, with a peak in 2011 reported >30.000 cases. In Greece, the last major measles epidemic was recorded between 2010-2011 with a total of 189 cases of both populations of Roma, as well as in young Greek adults and health care professionals. The red continues to appear in many countries of the European Union every year, while the years 2012-2013 large epidemics were reported in Poland. The mumps also still appears in the countries of the European Union often. Indeed, during the years 2001-2008 were reported 950.000 cases. In Greece reported a small number of cases of mumps, with the last outbreak recorded in 2002 with 156 cases. What to look for measles symptoms are usually cough, runny nose, red eyes and fever. The incubation period is 10-12 days, while the rash usually appears 14 days after infection and 2-4 days after the initial symptoms and spreads from the head to the rest of the body. Infants, malnourished children and patients in remission have worse prognosis. And according to scientists, generally the adults are at increased risk for complications compared with children. For measles there is no specific treatment, only supportive care. What to look for rubella The incubation period is 12-13 days. It manifests with a rash, swollen lymph nodes, pain in joints and arthritis (mostly in women), infection of the upper respiratory tract and sometimes mild fever. According to experts, a 20%-50% of cases may remain asymptomatic. The red has serious consequences if you insult pregnant women in the early stages of pregnancy, because it would lead to severe damage to the fetus (eyes, heart, brain), causing the congenital rubella syndrome. Also, there is no special treatment and need permanent supportive care. What to look for mumps (mumps) is Manifested by swollen salivary glands, fever, headache, pain in muscles and joints, and loss of appetite. 20%-30% of patients may not demonstrate any symptoms. The incubation period is 12-15 days, but can be 16-18 days. Treatment there is no as in previous diseases, and deserves only supportive care. The risks from measles 1-3/1.000 cases of measles is likely to die. More often it occurs in immunocompromised patients, preschoolers or malnourished children. Also in the 7-9% causes otitis media Another risk is the spasm in The 1-6% gets pneumonia 8% make diarrhea Inflammation of the brain (1/1.000-2.000 cases), which leads to neurological damage Inflammation of the spinal cord, leading to paralysis, what most of the times, temporary.

And as I said above, the adults are at increased risk for complications. The risks of mumps, 25%-50% of men after puberty does inflammation of the testes, while 5% of women after puberty do inflammation of the ovaries. Also, causes inflammation such as arthritis, myocarditis, pancreatitis, thyroiditis, glomerulonephritis, transverse myelitis in Addition, encephalitis, <U+03C0><U+03B1><U+03C1><U+03B1><U+03B3><U+03BA><U+03B5><U+03C6><U+03B1><U+03BB><U+03AF><U+03C4><U+03B9><U+03B4><U+03B1> or meningitis <10% Inflammation of the auditory nerve that can lead to deafness (1/3.000-1/20.000) Finally, it causes mastitis while, and again the adults have more increased risk of complications. The risks of rubella, Febrile convulsions, otitis media, vomiting, diarrhea, pneumonia are some of them. Also 1/6.000 can do encephalitis (inflammation of the brain), and also, 1/3.000 thrombocytopenia (reduction of blood cells involved in clotting. Risks from the MMR vaccine The most frequent and more mild, that occur within 6-14 days is a fever (up to 1/6 doses), mild rash in 5%, and enlarged lymph nodes (1/75 doses). Moderate risks include febrile convulsions (1/3.000 doses in infants), transient pain in the joints at a 25% or arthritis in a 10% (mainly in the small peripheral joints in teenage girls and adult females 7-21 days after vaccination). In addition a transient decrease in platelets that help in clotting of the blood (1/30.000 doses). The serious risks which according to experts is from rare to very rare concerning the transient pain in the limbs, inflammation of the testicles or of the brain or of the meninges and itching.

"15913","Measles is a serious disease. About 20 per cent, of all cases give complications such as the ear, or inflammation of the lungs. About one in a thousand get encephalitis. It can also be fatal. At the beginning of the last century, and died, several hundred of the year in Sweden, on the basis of the disease. The day of the hit, to get out of the disease in Sweden. The reason is that the general vaccination of children was introduced at the beginning of the 1970s, and that the combined MMR vaccine (measles, mumps, and rubella), which was introduced in the early 1980's. The number of cases is now over the 60-per-year, compared with approximately 10,000 per year during the 1960's. The vaccine has been reduced the children's suffering, and the risk of severe complications and death. Therefore, it is of great concern that resistance to vaccination is on the increase. Many of the antroposofer is, for example, sceptical about the vaccination. Others believe in the totally false rumors about vaccineringens of the risks that are spread on the internet. Among other things, said the vaccination could cause autism. Also, on the part of some groups of newcomers, there is a distrust of vaccination. This is of great concern. It will increase the risk of the disease spreading. A similar development can be found in many other countries. It has been in a variety of ways. One of the ways is tvangsvaccinering, that is, in some states in the united states. This will now be introduced in Italy, with severe penalties for parents who refuse to vaccinate their children. In France, the discussion tvangsvaccinering. The same applies to Australia where, in some states, non-vaccinated children are excluded from pre-schools and child benefit are being cut. In Germany, there is a fine for parents who don't vaccinate kids, and day-care centres are required to notify the parents. It is tvangsvaccinering prohibited by the constitution of the country. Health care should be optional, with some exceptions. The government has, therefore, refused to grant the motions on the tvangsvaccinering, most recently in march of this year, and I would like the parliament to have a comprehensive awareness campaign. More information is needed in order to stop the. However, that doesn't always work. Those who, for ideological or religious reasons to be suspicious of the vaccination will not be affected. The better is the chance for among the new arrivals, but also in which the resistance can be very strong. And for those that rely on obscure websites, other than the authorities, the teaching does not have to bother about for more information. If the proportion of vaccinated is declining, despite the increased and improved awareness-raising campaigns, must be why politicians have to be prepared to take more decisive action. The government should not take over the responsibility of the parents to their children, but the parents who refuse to vaccinate are risking other people's health, especially those who for medical reasons cannot be vaccinated. The liberal party has suggested that parents who refuse to vaccinate their children are not free to choose the pre-school. There may be a way. A fine or a cancellation of child support, may require changes to the constitution, and, therefore, the measures to be taken in the event of an emergency. However, something needs to be done, if the percentage of vaccinated falls considerably. It is necessary to be 95 per cent are vaccinated against measles, that protection must be effective. In some of the neighborhoods in the Järvafältet is a percentage of only 70%.",12,"sweden"

Highest cases of measles have occurred in Germany, Bulgaria, Romania, France and Poland.  ABTA’s Director of Destinations and Sustainability, Nikki White, said: ‘Travellers might not typically think to check vaccination requirements for travel to Europe, but we encourage everyone to check their health records and catch-up on any missed vaccinations wherever they are travelling to.’  Dr Mary Ramsay, head of immunisation at PHE, is calling for families to check they have been fully vaccinated before travelling.  She says: ‘Measles can kill and is incredibly easy to catch, especially if you’re not vaccinated and travelling to affected countries.  ‘If you’re in any doubt about your – or your child’s – vaccination status, ask your GP or check your child’s Red Book.  ‘Before you travel you should ensure you and your family are up to date with all currently recommended UK vaccines and MMR is especially important if you’re planning to travel throughout the summer due to the ongoing outbreaks happening across Europe.’  Following the recent anti-vaccine hysteria spreading on social media, fewer and fewer parents have been vaccinating their children, despite the surge in measles.

The analysis comes as NHS chief Simon Stevens warned of measles cases in the UK quadrupling in just one year.  Simon Stevens warns that missed vaccines are ‘serious’, adding: ‘Getting yourself and your children vaccinated against killer diseases is essential to staying healthy, and vaccine rejection is a serious and growing public health timebomb.’  To tackle the disease, the NHS is urgently advising families to get children vaccinated.  This highly contagious viral disease often affects children and is identifiable by a measles rash, and can affect the brain, lungs and eyes.  The condition usually passes after seven days. However, it can also lead to life-threatening complications if the infection spread to the lungs and brain. One in every 25,000 cases can be fatal.  Worldwide, 169 million children were not given their first dose of the measles vaccine between 2010 and 2017, according to the Unicef report.

This situation threatens all the progresses made to date towards the elimination of the disease in the region. The spread of measles is expected to continue, and could cause large outbreaks wherever immunisation coverage has dropped below the necessary threshold of 95% of the population. The data available so far for February indicates that the number of cases is still rising.  ""With steady progress towards elimination over the past two years, it is of particular concern that measles cases are climbing in Europe,"" says Dr Zsuzsanna Jakab, WHO Regional Director for Europe.  ""Today's travel patterns put no person or country beyond the reach of the measles virus. Outbreaks will continue in Europe, as elsewhere, until every country reaches the level of immunization needed to fully protect their populations.""  Here's all you need to know about this recent epidemic, and how it can be contained.  What is measles?  Measles is a highly infectious viral illness which can have serious complications if it is not identified and treated early. It is caused by the measles virus, which is passed on through contact with the tiny droplets expelled from the nose and mouth of infected patients, when they cough or sneeze.  What are the symptoms of measles?  The symptoms of the disease begin to appear around 10 days after infection. They can include cold-like symptoms (runny nose and cough, sore, red eyes, fever and small white spots on the inside of the cheeks. Later on in the infection, a distinctive red-brown blotchy rash appears. It tends to be observed first on the head or upper neck, before spreading outwards to the rest of the body.  Is measles dangerous?  In most cases, measles is not life-threatening, even though the symptoms can be unpleasant. People usually feel better after a week, and their bodies build resistance to the virus, which means they are unlikely to become sick again in the future.  In a few cases, the disease can nevertheless cause more severe complications including pneumonia and brain infection (encephalitis). About 1 in 5,000 infected people die of measles.  People who are the most at risk include babies under the age of one, children with a poor diet or another serious disease weakening their immune system, such as those with leukaemia, and teenagers and adults.  Healthy children aged more than one are the least at risk.  How can I protect myself?  The best protection against measles is vaccination. The measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine has been highly effective at fighting off infections and preventing the spread of the disease. In the UK, it is estimated that measles is now uncommon as a result of vaccination.  For people who don't want to be vaccinated, another treatment option available in the UK: it is called human normal immunoglobulin (HNIG) and can be used in people at immediate risk of catching measles.  Which countries are at higher risk in Europe?  The largest current measles outbreaks in Europe are found in Romania and Italy. Romania has reported over 3,400 cases and 17 deaths since January 2016. The majority of these cases are concentrated in areas where immunisation coverage is particularly low. Italy has reported sharp rise in cases in the first weeks of 2017, with 238 cases reported so far for January 2017. At this rate, the number of cases in the country for 2017 may soon surpass that of 2016 (850 cases).  However, every countries where measles remains endemic and where vaccination coverage does not reach 95% of the population is very much at risk of an outbreak. In Europe, endemic countries are France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Romania, Switzerland and Ukraine.  Are we close to eliminating measles in Europe?  When the 53 members states covered by WHO Europe office agreed to the European Vaccine Action Plan 2015–2020, they told the world they were committed to eliminating measles and rubella.  Progress has been made towards this goal as 37 of the 53 countries have been found to have interrupted endemic measles transmission. But challenges remain, and won't be overcome unless vaccination coverage keeps increasing in the future.",12,"uk"
"47213","Image copyright Getty Images Image caption The outbreak is linked to a large one in Europe  Unvaccinated children going on holiday to Europe could be at risk of catching measles, experts have warned.  A new case of the contagious illness has been diagnosed during an outbreak in Newport and Torfaen, bringing the total number to 13.  The measles outbreak is being linked to one in Europe that has infected 14,000 people since the beginning of the year.  Public Health Wales (PHW) urged parents to ensure their children have both MMR jabs.  ""The outbreak in Europe poses a real threat to children in Wales who are not vaccinated, both those travelling to the continent over the summer holidays and those who come into contact with visitors from other countries who have measles,"" said Dr Rhianwen Stiff, consultant in communicable disease control for PHW.  ""In this outbreak, we've seen measles passed between strangers who spent very little time in the same place, which underlines how very contagious this infection can be.""  Vaccination programme  Children with measles symptoms - which include a high temperature, cough, runny nose, red eyes (conjunctivitis), and a distinctive red rash - are advised to be kept at home.  PHW is also urging parents not to take children with symptoms to the GP surgery, A&E department or hospital, where they could put other people at risk, without calling ahead first.  A rolling programme of vaccination sessions has already been completed in schools across Newport in response to the outbreak, with 1,089 children receiving immunisation.  Adults born since 1970, who have never had measles or the MMR vaccine, are also urged to ensure they contact their surgery about vaccination, especially if they work with children.",12,"uk"
"47313","    Measles is a highly infectious viral illness, which can sometimes lead to serious complications.  Although it is now uncommon in the UK due to the effectiveness of vaccination, it can prove unpleasant if contracted.  Who can get measles?  The NHS notes, “Anyone can get measles if they have not been vaccinated or have not had it before, although it’s most common in young children.”  What are the symptoms of measles?  The initial symptoms of measles develop around 10 days after you’re infected, and can include:  cold-like symptoms, such as a runny nose, sneezing and a cough  sore, red eyes that may be sensitive to light  a high temperature (fever), which may reach around 40C (104F)  small greyish-white spots on the inside of the cheeks  A red-brown blotchy rash will then appear a few days later, and usually starts on the head or upper neck before spreading outwards to the rest of the body.  How long does the infection last?  Although unpleasant, measles usually passes in around seven to 10 days without causing any further problems.  Once you have had measles, your body then builds up resistance to the virus and it’s highly unlikely you’ll get it again.  However, in some people it can lead to serious and potentially life-threatening complications, which includes infections of the lungs (pneumonia) and brain (encephalitis).  When should I see a GP or take my child to see a GP?  The NHS explains that “you should contact a GP as soon as possible if you suspect that you or your child may have measles.  “It’s best to phone before your visit as your GP surgery may need to make arrangements to reduce the risk of spreading the infection to others.”  You should also see a GP if you have been in close contact with someone who has measles and have not:  been fully vaccinated with two doses of the MMR vaccine  had the infection before  You should do this even if you do not have any symptoms.  How can I prevent measles?  Measles can be prevented by having the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine, which is given in 2 doses as part of the NHS childhood vaccination programme.  The first dose is given when your child is around 13 months old, and a second dose is then given at 3 years and 4 months.  Adults and older children can also be vaccinated at any age if they have not been fully vaccinated before – ask your GP about having the vaccination.  If the MMR vaccine is not suitable for you, then a treatment called human normal immunoglobulin (HNIG) can be used if you’re at immediate risk of catching measles.

Recently, Facebook, YouTube, and Pinterest, under pressure from the Congress in particular, have announced measures to censor the content of anti-vaccines. The MMR vaccine (measles, mumps, rubella) is ""incredibly safe,"" repeated Nancy Messonnier. Existing since the 1960s, millions and millions of doses have been used. ""The most severe side effect is a sore arm, which goes very quickly"". But, she says, ""we are victims of our own success"". Since the number of cases of measles has decreased 99% since the discovery of the vaccine in the 1960s, parents do make more account of risk. Previously, between 400 and 500 people died each year of measles in the United States. Beyond the fever, pimples and other symptoms, complications of the disease include otitis media acute (1 of 10 cases), pneumonia (1 in 20) or even encephalitis, a brain inflammation (1 in 1,000). To obtain herd immunity or herd immunity, that is to say, to protect the unvaccinated individuals and at-risk (children less than one year, pregnant women...), it is necessary that the vaccination rate is between 92 and 95% of the population, explained Anthony Fauci. The national rate in children is approximately at this level, but there are large disparities between States, and even from one city or one school to another. - Exemptions - The illustration present the most egregious of these is the Clark county, just north of the city of Portland, in the north-west of the United States. Sixty-five of the 159 cases national focus, and most of them are children under the age of 10 years. 15 years ago, in this county, 96% of school age children 5 years of age were vaccinated against measles. In 2017-2018, the proportion had fallen to 84%. In some schools, mostly private, the rate of MMR vaccination was 20 or 30% only. The elected members of the State of Washington responded to the epidemic by proposing to eliminate the exemption of immunization for personal reasons or philosophical (the reason religious would remain in place). Other States are also considering currently to do so. In the United States, only three States out of 50 (California, Mississippi and west Virginia) only allow exemptions for medical reasons.",11,"belgium"

A potentially deadly disease contrary to what many people think measles is not just a harmless childhood disease. The measles virus is highly contagious and serious complications, such as pneumonia or meningoencephalitis can cause an inflammation of the brain. Especially in children can also occur even years after the acute infection an inflammation of the brain. The death rate from a measles infection is estimated by the WHO, between 1:1000 and 1:2000, and is not so low, as one would believe. The good news is that a simple vaccination can prevent measles infection with almost 100% certainty. The StIKO recommends, therefore, that in the age of the child, a two-part vaccination. However, there are many parents who refuse vaccination out of concern and skepticism. Evidence that is not based on the danger posed by Impfkomplikationen is significantly lower than the risk posed by an outbreak of measles disease. Nevertheless, especially in big cities, less and less parents their children are vaccinated. These Fears have been stoked over a longer period of the, in the meantime, by several studies as false, debunked claim that there is a connection between the measles vaccine and autism. These Worries and Fears lead to in some areas of Germany less than 80 percent of children against measles is to be vaccinated. This is too little, in order to prevent a spread of the disease in the population. For effective herd immunity is required according to the WHO, at least, a vaccination rate of 95 percent. Only in this way, for example, not-yet-vaccinated infants can be protected. Measles: As bad as The consequences of this bad Impfmoral we now get to feel. For years, there weren't as many measles cases as of 2018. In the EU, have been reported according to the WHO, meanwhile, more than 41,000 cases, and at least 37 people have died of the disease. In just the past six months, more measles cases were registered than in the entire year of 2017. Especially Serbia, Ukraine, Russia, Georgia, Italy, France and Greece are affected. With 23.0000 registered diseases more than half of all measles cases in Europe occurred in the Ukraine, and Serbia has to complain with 14 cases, most of the dead. Here in Germany, the WHO has registered this year to 387 cases. The 53 member States of the WHO European Region and wanted to have eradicated the measles actually, to 2010. This was not possible, and today we seem far away from this goal. Now to be achieved by 2020, a 95 percent vaccination coverage and the disease eliminated in 5 of the 6 WHO regions. Germany is far from this coverage and could not eliminate the measles so far. The means to stop the disease, have long been available.

Major outbreaks occur primarily in urban areas. Where many people reside in a confined space, has the highly contagious Virus easy game. The goal, eradicate the disease in Germany, has moved in recent years in more and more remote. This is mainly due to the fact that too little people in Germany are vaccinated against the Virus. The Federal government wants, therefore, a compulsory vaccination for children. Many of the adults, the second dose In people who were born after 1970, missing the second measles vaccination is often missing, because this was not provided for in their Childhood. Later on, you will not be rescheduled, often out of ignorance or sloppiness. According to the Robert Koch-Institute ( RKI) in some regions only 30 percent of adults have a complete Vaccination.

Although all the Federal States according to the RKI in the school entrance examination, in the meantime, Coverage of at least 95 percent for the first vaccination against measles, Mumps and rubella. Big improvement, however there is a need for the second dose of vaccine to extend the protection. 41.5 percent vaccination Coverage levels in the state of Baden-Württemberg: The differences between the regions are considerable. While, for example, in the Rhein-Kreis Neuss, in North Rhine-Westphalia, 89 percent of the children in the recommended age of two years, the second Dose of the vaccine already have, in the Main-Tauber district, in Baden-Württemberg, just 41.5 per cent. Especially in the southern States, the vaccination Coverage is lower than in many other regions of Germany. A further feature of Saxony is. The state has a separate Committee on vaccination, the administration of the second dose against measles, up to 5. Age recommends. In the case of the two-year-Saxons cut off, therefore, extremely bad in the case of children of five years, the country will move to a similar level as the rest of the provinces.

In total from the beginning of the year were reported over 112mila cases, against the 28mila in the previous quarter. “In recent months – it is said – a peak of cases occurred in countries with high rates of vaccination, including the Usa, Israel, Thailand and Tunisia, with disease that has spread quickly in groups of persons not immunized”.

Measles is one of the most contagious diseases in the world, there is no cure but can be prevented with two doses of a vaccine “safe and effective”. Measles increases everywhere in the world because of the distrust of vaccines in rich Countries, both poor access to health care in poor Countries. The no-vax is based on a publication of the 1998 linking this vaccine to autism, however, it has been established that its author, the british Andrew Wakefield, had falsified the results, and several studies since then have shown that the vaccine increased the risk of autism.

"6733","After the alarm meningitis, also comes that of measles. Doctor's concerns are well-founded? The last bulletin of the Institute of Health is clear. It was passed the roof of the 1000 cases of measles in the first three months of this year, while last year there were around 844. It is certainly an alarming number, which already portends a season with a number of cases of measles is particularly high. Of these one thousand cases, 33% had at least one complication, 41% inpatient, and 14% access to the Emergency room. Unfortunately still resists the perception that measles is just a simple rash and that “I had as a child, and are in perfect health”. Perception is absolutely wrong. Perhaps not everyone knows that, in a case in a thousand, there can be serious consequences and permanent, and in one case on two or three thousand, in spite of the best care in the world, the measles can kill, even if the sick person was, at the time of infection, enjoyed perfect health. Measles is a disease dangerous? Few believe that measles can be a dangerous disease, but it is not so. Measles is among the most contagious diseases, four times more contagious than the flu, and it is one of the leading causes of death among children around the world. It has been estimated that about 400 children die of measles every day. Also the children healthy and well nourished, if not vaccinated, are at risk of getting sick and have serious complications to health such as pneumonia, diarrhea and encephalitis, complications that may be lethal or highly disabling. One of the complications is less well-known as measles, is the Panencefalite Sclerosing Subacute (PESS). Not very common, but terrible, the PESS occurs when the measles virus lurks inside the nerve cells in the brain of the person who has contracted the infection morbillosa, and there remains an invisible but active. The virus, over the years, slowly destroying the central nervous system, and when they begin to manifest the first signs of the disease, it is clearly too late. How can you cure it? And is available, already from the beginning of the ’90s, a vaccine is extraordinarily safe, the trivalent MMR (measles-mumps-rubella (mmr), that in spite of the bad reputation held among the convinced supporters that this vaccine can cause autism, it is so effective, to get rid of the virus in the community where it was used properly. It is true, however, that the trivalent MMR has an efficacy of 100%, as each individual responds in a different way, but its validity is not questioned by the Scientific Community and by the competent Institutions in the field of public health. If you can't reach the threshold of 95% immunization coverage, and to establish the so-called “immunity of the flock”, which goes to decrease to such a point that the circulation of the measles virus that, even if someone is not immunized will still be protected. At this time, in Italy, the vaccination coverage against measles has decreased to about 85%, which is the reason for the virus has begun to circulate in the population. In the ASL BT coverage is on the decline, and is currently stable at about 89%, while in the rest of Puglia, is an average of 85%. The vaccine is recommended? In the thousand cases of measles so far registered since the beginning of this year in Italy, which is geographically concentrated in those Regions in which the coverages are lower, the average age of the patients was 27 years, with 57% of the cases that occurred in the range of 15-39 years, while 6% occurred in children under a year, still too young for the vaccine. There were also 113 cases, among health care professionals. 90% of all the affected had not been vaccinated, confirming the concerns of the experts on the decline of vaccinations. Those who choose not to vaccinate their children, exposed to the risk of infection and possible complications, not only their children, but also that part of the population that does not have the ability to be vaccinated because they are too young or for questions related to clinical situations quotas, and in those subjects in whom the vaccine is proven not 100% effective. The administration of the vaccine MPR is strongly recommended, but not mandatory, because the current laws do not provide for the obligations real. The vaccine MPR, over the years, has allowed us to immunize hundreds of millions of people around the world and save the lives of many of them, but it is opposed by the movements anti-vaccinisti, born mainly due to misinformation and an old and fraudulent study from 1998, from time denied by all the major health organizations of the world including the World Health Organization and withdrawn from the same journal The Lancet, which had published at the end of the Nineties. Vaccine and autism, what is the danger? The alleged relationship between vaccines and autism has never been proven by any scientific research, but this has not stopped in recent times, some magistrates in Italy, to issue questionable orders and judgments that have contributed to increase the mistrust on the part of parents who must decide whether to vaccinate or not their children. As always happens in Italy, we hope that we will not have to wait for us to escape the dead from measles, to be able to shake and awaken the consciences of many, inebriated from the hoaxes and legends anti-vacciniste.",11,"italy"

Were also notified several cases of transmission in health care and in health care workers. Measles continues to circulate in our Country because of the presence of pockets of susceptible populations, are not vaccinated or who has not completed the vaccination cycle at 2 doses. This is largely due to the increasing number of parents who refuse the vaccination, despite the evidence established, and despite the measures of some regions that tend to improve the covers, interacting with the families and parents. “Despite the Plan for the elimination of measles started in 2005 – said the Minister of Health, Beatrice Lorenzin – and the vaccination against measles is among those that are highly recommended and free of charge, in 2015, the vaccination coverage against measles in children at 24 months (cohort 2013) was 85,3% (with the lowest value equal to the 68% registered in the PA of Bolzano and the highest in Lombardy with the 92,3%), still far from the 95% that is the threshold value necessary to stop the circulation of the virus in the population.” “It is now essential – precise – quickly act with a commitment and a greater responsibility at all levels, from all of the institutions and of health professionals, to make this vaccination available, increasing the acceptance and demand from the population. Similarly, the regional administrations and health companies, as well as pediatricians and general practitioners should promote a campaign of further accountability on the part of parents and of people is not immune to all ages so do not give up this vital opportunity to prevent a disease that can be lethal.” “The Ministry – concludes – activate all possible steps to ensure the full realization of the objectives of the recent national Plan for the prevention, vaccination, and in order to regain quickly the vaccination coverage that have drooped dangerously over the last few years”.",11,"italy"

"6757","HEALTH NEWS – The United Nations Fund for children (UNICEF) has warned of an alarming wave of worldwide cases of measles. What constitutes a growing threat to children, despite being a disease that is highly preventable with vaccination, is the fact that about three-quarters of the total increase in cases of measles in 2018 have been registered in 10 countries, including Brazil, the Philippines, Madagascar, Ukraine, and Yemen, where they are experiencing severe outbreaks. The agency has warned that cases of measles worldwide are reaching alarming levels, especially in the 10 countries, which represent over 74 percent of the total increase, but also in others that had already been declared free of measles. Globally, 98 countries have recorded an increase in cases of measles in 2018 compared to 2017, in particular, in 10 countries, including the Ukraine with 30338 cases, the Philippines 13192, Brazil with 10262, Yemen 6641 and Venezuela with 4916.

In the same way that the serious outbreaks that we are seeing today were extended in 2018. The lack of action today will have disastrous consequences for the children of tomorrow”. Measles is very contagious, more than the ebola, tuberculosis or the flu. A person can contract the virus up to two hours after the carrier has left a room. The evil spreads in the air and infects the respiratory tract, potentially putting in danger the lives of malnourished children or of children too young to be vaccinated. Once you experience the infection, there is no specific treatment for the measles, then the vaccination is a tool that saves the lives of the children.",11,"italy"

"6797","Cuts to health care are strongly related to the resurgence of measles in The recent trends show that the main cause of the epidemic of measles, which affects several european countries, is the decrease in the vaccination coverage, which can be attributed mainly to the diffusion of theories antiscientifiche. However, he is not the only cause. A new study by researchers from the Bocconi Veronica Toffolutti, Alessia Melegaro and David Stuckler and Martin McKee (London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine), and Walter Ricciardi (president of the Higher Institute of Health) also shows that the cuts to public expenditure on health play an important role, with the vaccination coverage against measles, mumps and rubella (MPR), which decreased by 0.5 percentage points for every cut spending by 1%. The research is published in the European Journal of Public Health. Scholars compare the vaccination coverage at age 24 months of age in 20 Italian regions with the respective expenditure on health real annual per-capita for the period 2000-2014, once considered the strength of the anti-vax. ""We have observed that public health spending in Italy grew consistently from 2000 to 2009 at an average annual rate of 3.5%, while it contracted by about 2% per year between 2010 and 2014. Similarly, the coverage, the MPR increased from 74,1% in 2000 to 90.6% in 2012, to then reverse course, descending to 85,1% in 2014, well below the 95% which is the immunity of the flock,"" says Veronica Toffolutti. Since the cuts were different from region to region, the authors can compare the effects of different variations and observed that the regions that have suffered the most from the budget cuts have also registered the greatest decline in the vaccination coverage, while the regions that have managed to increase their health budget have even been able to improve the coverage of MPR. The Valle d'aosta, for example, reported a decline of 6% in health expenditure and 11% of the coverage MPR, while Sardinia, with an increase of 2% of total expenditure, recorded an increase in the immunization, equal to 3.8%. On average, a decrease of 0.5 percentage points of the coverage, the MPR corresponds to a reduction of 1% of the expenditure. ""Our analysis suggests that the austerity measures adopted in Italy have contributed significantly to the resurgence of measles"", the authors write.

"17712"," 7 September 2019 Around 7.2 million people were born in Spain between 1970 and 1980 and are the group that the Ministry of Health recommends be vaccinated against measles if they have not been vaccinated previously or have not had the disease, before the rebound of the virus worldwide. Due to the confusion generated, sources of Health have reiterated that the epidemiological situation of measles in our country has not changed, keeping the state of removal from 2016, and remember that the recommendations are reflected in the common calendar of vaccination throughout life. WHY THE GENERATION OF THE 70'S? Routine vaccination against measles began to generalize in 1981 through the mmr vaccine, which also protects the rubella and the mumps, explained to Efe dr. Luis Ignacio Martínez Alcorta, director of innovation of the board of directors of the Spanish Association of Vacunología. All children born from that year that met the immunization schedule are properly immunized. In the decade of the 70's they used a monovalent vaccine against measles but only for a short period of time, so that there is optimal protection against disease for those who now have between 40 and 50 years, who are the ""target group"" of the recommendation of Health. AND WHAT ABOUT THOSE BORN BEFORE 1970? The percentage of people born before 1970 who have not had measles is ""marginal"", says the doctor. Before that year the virus was circulating widely and is a disease as transmissible that more than 90 % of the people had already experienced before reaching the age of 18 years. ""It is extremely rare that do not."" Health assumes that these people are immune by having had the disease previously. HOW DO YOU KNOW IF THERE IS THAT SHOT? When in doubt whether you are vaccinated or has had measles, ""it is always better to get vaccinated"" because it does not pose any risk even if you have passed the disease. There is an analytical proof called serology to know if a person has suffered or not a certain disease ""but it is not recommended to systematize its use because it is much more cost-effective and safe to vaccinate,"" says dr. Martinez Alcorta. The only caution to take in account for administering the triple viral is, in the case of a woman, if you are pregnant and if the person has a chronic condition that results in immunosuppression, or is allergic to any component of the vaccine. WHAT TO DO TO GET THE VACCINE? If it has been born in the years 70, there is to go to the health center for the medical advice. In the event you need to get the vaccine, the vaccine is ""completely safe, highly effective, and is free"". It is a vaccine of live attenuated virus and is administered in two doses with a minimum difference of four weeks between one and the other. The protection is approximately 93 %. The side effects, if they appear, are ""mild and transient"". Currently, the first dose is given at 12 months and the second at 3 or 4 years. The vaccination rate of mmr in 2018 was higher than 95% in the first dose but the second dose is half of the autonomous communities did not come to that coverage. ""There is a tendency to cover vaccine tend to decrease as children get older,"" he says. SPAIN FREE OF the VIRUS measles is a disease ""extremely contagious"", so if you do not have ""high"" coverage vaccine of 95% or higher the virus continues to circulate and can be extended to other countries where it was not flowing so endemic. It is a disease that can be eradicated, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), which keeps Spain in the list of countries free of the virus. Sources of Health have reiterated to Efe that we are not facing a situation of urgency. WHY THERE HAS BEEN AN INCREASE IN CASES? There is not a single cause, but several. One of them is the lack of access to health services and immunization in some parts of the world or in certain populations. In developed countries such as the Uk, which has lost the status of having eradicated the virus, Martinez Alcorta points to the information ""not true and not proven scientifically"", which is accessed through the internet ""that makes some people seeking to renege on"" vaccines or ""hesitate"" at the time of putting them on to their children. HOW IS THE VIRUS SPREAD? The infection occurs primarily by the respiratory route through coughing, sneezing or talking. The virus can remain for up to two hours in the atmosphere. The disease presents with high fever, produces rhinorrhea (runny nose), conjunctivitis, cough and a rash is very characteristic. ""People think that it is a own illness of childhood that does not involve any risk but could be severe,"" warns the doctor.

"25312","The united states has been on the verge of losing its place in the list of countries free of measles by the World Health Organization (WHO). Shortly before reaching the 12 months from the start of the outbreak that emerged in New York in October 2018, have been complied with to 42 days without new cases. In this situation, the outbreak is considered ended, and the north american country is saved from losing a status that had been achieved in the year 2000 with a lot of effort and years of campaigns against misinformation. Despite this, the movement antivacunas was installed in the centre of the agenda in the fall of 2018, when New York was alerted for the first time in many years by the emergence of a measles outbreak that primarily affected the jewish community-orthodox of Brooklyn. An epidemic that led authorities to take drastic measures such as a massive campaign of compulsory vaccination for students in the affected districts, the closure of several private schools for admitting sick children and the imposition of fines of up to $ 1,000 for those who failed to comply with the municipal order. Health authorities feared that the WHO had just withdrawn the united States from the list of countries free of the measles. ""It would be incredibly frustrating and demoralizing for the public health community that we lose that status because we have a safe and effective vaccine,"" warned in August, CNN's Nancy Messonnier, director of the National Center for Immunizations and Respiratory Diseases. After eleven months, the Department of Health of New York city declared the end of the epidemic the past 3 of September, just in time for the start of the school year, and after having spent 42 days (an outbreak is considered extinct when there are reported new cases of measles during this time, which is twice what is required by the incubation). Half a hundred people were hospitalized, and 16 ended up in the intensive care unit, according to data from the city council, which revealed that 80% of the cases affected under the age of 18 years and nearly three out of every four diagnoses were in people who had not been vaccinated or had your immunization record incomplete. Has been the worst outbreak of measles in nearly three decades. Approximately half of all cases notified in 2019 in the US have occurred in the city of New York, specifically in the neighborhood of Williamsburg in the Brooklyn district. However, the disease continues to spread across the country, mainly by the movement antivacunas. Although the health regulations vary in each state, the immunization of boys and girls of school age have been the main resource to combat infectious diseases, thanks to a ruling by the Supreme of 1905 that allowed the states to protect their citizens from these diseases, even at the expense of their personal freedoms. But the reality is that almost all of the 50 states allow exemptions to parents who don't want to vaccinate their children for personal reasons or religious, which has contributed to the spreading of epidemics such as measles, something that has led many governments to take action in the matter. Only in 2019 two states, New York and Maine, have passed new state laws to eliminate such exceptions, not related to medical reasons, and another eight are under discussion similar proposals in their legislatures. But in other areas of the country is doing just the opposite. Although New York took almost all the headlines, so far this year have been reported cases of measles in 31 of the 50 states of the country. According to data from the National Center for disease Control and Prevention (CDC), up to the 19 of September we detected a total of 1.241 cases, the highest number recorded since 1992. The famous antivacunas What is certain is that the movement antivacunas is almost as old as the appearance of the first vaccines in the late EIGHTEENTH century, although throughout its two centuries of history have enjoyed different levels of acceptance among the public. In the case of the united States are over a year gaining more and more followers. The question that is being asked by many is why this movement has so many adherents. The explanations are of the most varied, from alleged medical studies of dubious origin up to the rumours that circulate each time more on the internet, but in almost all of the experts agree is that it does not help the celebrities who criticize vaccines. Jim Carrey is a regular of these campaigns, due in large measure to the fact that for five years had a relationship with the actress Jenny McCarthy, who claims that her son Evan was diagnosed with autism in 2007 after receiving the mmr vaccine at 15 months. Since then, it has become one of the main activists of the movement. Other stars like Robert de Niro or Alicia Silverstone have joined the chorus of voices that are critical of vaccines, while at the political level have the support of respected figures like Robert Kennedy Jr, a nephew of the former president JFK, which has spent years denouncing a plot by the government to hide the dangers of vaccines. But the experts and from the scientific community continue to insist on the importance of vaccines as a preventive measure to prevent the spread of communicable diseases that can be very serious for the health and that in some cases can be fatal. ""People don't fear the measles because they are not familiar with the disease and that's why there are those who associate the vaccine to something that itself fears the people, such as autism, because almost everyone knows someone with autism,"" lamented professor Daniel Solmon, director of the Institute for Vaccine Safety, School of Public Health John Hopkins.",11,"spain"

So noted by the secretary's Advisory Committee on Vaccines of the Spanish Paediatrics Association (AEP), Francisco José Álvarez, who has wished to send a message of peace of mind to parents who are going to take a journey holiday to these countries. Despite the fact that there is an outbreak in Europe, pediatricians only ask for the vaccination of children between 6 and 12 months -still have not received the dose of the triple viral (measles, rubella and mumps) - in the case of going to stay in these countries for ""a long time"", that the experts did not eventuate. 00.50 min Radio 5 Today - The Spanish Association of Pediatrics warning of the outbreak of measles in Europe - 24/07/18",11,"spain"
"46413"," | 5 min reading Traditionally it has been argued that there are two ways to be safe from getting the measles: to vaccinate or have past. However, the second possibility has some negative consequences for the immune system: erases part of your memory protective. A blood test, 77 non-vaccinated children before and after an outbreak of measles in the Netherlands revealed that the virus removes the memory of the body of pathogens above. Measles was eliminated between 11 and 73 per cent of the protective antibodies of the small, according to just published in Science Inmmunilogy a team from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (USA). ""We have found evidence really is strong that the measles virus is actually destroying the immune system,"" explains dr. Stephen Elledge, co-author of the work. The virus that causes measles is one of the most contagious diseases that science has ever seen. Prior to the development of a vaccine in 1963, measles caused between three and four million cases in the united States each year. In Spain, just before establishing the mmr vaccine, there were more than 145,000, in 1980. Evolution of measles in Spain (2006-2018) | ISCII After being eradicated officially in 2016, measles has re-emerged, often through communities ‘social exclusion’ and, to a lesser extent, by movements antivacunas. This study demonstrates that “in some individuals the measles not only would our immunological memory, but that would limit our ability to build a new immunity”, indicates Velislava Petrova, of the Sange Institute, in conversation with Sinc. Exposed to other infections for three years, previous Studies had suggested that the effects of disease extend far beyond the infection. Measles may suppress the immune system of infected people during two or three years, making them susceptible to other diseases, as published in a report of 2015 signed co-author of the current study Michael Mina (University of Harvard). The researchers had hypothesized that measles could cause a kind of amnesia immune"", where the body forgets the pathogens that had already seen. Vaccination against the measles not only protects against this virus, but also, indirectly, against other diseases. The group of Elledge confirmed the hypothesis to some extent ‘by chance’. Were adjusting a technology called VirScan, a tool that identifies all of the virus that has been known of a people with only a drop of blood. VirScan can detect antibodies against HIV, flu, herpes, and hundreds of other viruses. ""But it took us a lot to detect the measles,"" he says. For people vaccinated decades ago, the amount of anti-measles antibody in the blood may be so low that VirScan has many problems to be detected. So that Elledge was associated with Mine and Rik de Swart (@RLdeSwart), the Medical Center of the Erasmus University of Rotterdam (the Netherlands), to analyse samples of children newly infected. The reduction in the rates of vaccination not only causes spikes in measles. It might also cause an increase of other infections such as flu, tuberculosis or diphtheria, even in people who were previously protected. Our story viral, in a drop of blood In 2013, the team Of Swart in Rotterdam, it had collected blood of non-vaccinated children in a protestant community, orthodox in the Netherlands, with the consent of the parents of the children. It so happens that in the community of orthodox Dutch it is usual the occurrence of epidemics of measles, according to previous studies. Later, there was an epidemic of measles, and the researchers returned to collect another set of blood samples. The average time between collection of samples was ten weeks. If you were born in the 70's, you may need to get vaccinated against the measles, the WHO has pointed to the myths antivacunas as a factor of the rise of the measles. Spain look to those who are between 40 and 50 years which could not be protected without knowing it. Years later, Elledge, analyzed the samples using VirScan. His team had no problems to detect antibodies against the measles, a sign that the technology worked as planned. But they noticed something peculiar: the other antibodies of the children seemed to be disappearing. The researchers repeated the experiment in four macaques, this time collecting blood samples before and up to five months after infection. The results were even more clear. The monkeys lost, on average, 40 to 60 percent of the antibodies that protect them from other pathogens. Elledge believes that the figures would not have been very different similar in children if the team would have tried again later. It takes time for the antibodies vanish from the blood.",11,"spain"

Since September of this year they have recorded 61 cases of measles. The infection, which is transmitted by the air and that causes fever, cough and a rash that can be fatal, must be your rebound in the global movement antivacunas, which has gained strength in recent years. This current is based on false premises that deter parents from vaccinating their children, as that immunization causes autism. The situation starts to be delicate. According to the World Health Organization, more than 440,000 people around the world contracted measles in 2019. In the american continent, last year began to occur widespread in Venezuela, Brazil and in New York, where they declared a public health emergency. The current outbreak of measles in Argentina has become the largest from the elimination of the circulation endemic to that reached in the year 2000. One of the most controversial four weeks after the identification of the outbreak. A woman of the movement antivacunas contracted the disease and passed to his five children of 5, 9, 13, 16 and 19 years. The mother was exposed to infection at a medical center while he was sharing a waiting room with a person sick with measles. Days later, he recognized the symptoms in herself and her children and went to emergency, where they received treatment.

"53312","With the controversy of the antivacunas on top of the table, and his theories about a hypothetical relationship between autism and vaccines to prevent measles, mumps or rubella (mmr), a major study on the subject has wanted to overturn once more all his ideas. This is the first of this type, which includes a number so high of cases, so that the findings of the same have been taken as of weight within the scientific community. The research has been published in the Journal Annals of Internal Medicine, and is considered as the largest to date. In it, we have taken into account more than 657.000 cases of babies born in Denmark between 1999 and 2010, including in addition other of 6,500 that were diagnosed with an Autism Spectrum Disorder (a condition of the neurological development that affects a person's ability to communicate, interact and relate with others in everyday situations). The main conclusion is that there is no relationship between vaccines and the possibility of developing the disease. According to the leader of the study, the researcher of department of Epidemiology Research at the Statens Serum Institut of Copenhagen, Anders Hviid, ""parents should not choose not to provide their babies this vaccine. There is a scientific basis very strong backing"". Science Photo Library – IAN HOOTON. Getty Images But where comes this fear? The british journal The Lancet had to retract a study fraudulent on the subject published in 1998, where he claimed that there was this relationship. It was discovered that he had a conflict of interest and that the person who wrote it did so with the sole interest of drawing an economic benefit. But the ""bomb"" had taken effect and made many parents question whether the vaccine was dangerous or not. Since then, there have been numerous studies that have corroborated that there is no relationship. Among them, one published in 2002 in The New England Journal of Medicine (in which he also participated Hviid) and that studied more than 537.000 children born in Denmark between 1991 and 1998. As there were still doubts about the likelihood of the risk faced by these children, it has made this second major study to re-take the same results and to reaffirm the conclusions of the first published 17 years ago. What's new in this study? Instead of just staying with the general picture, they wanted to focus more thoroughly on the details. They wanted to know to what extent the risk could be higher according to different groups: boys, girls, young people who develop autism when they are older, or children whose siblings have suffered from the disorder (as has a genetic component, the probability can be higher). Also looked at the birth dates, the years in which they received the vaccines and at what center. In any case, it is noticed close relationship some.

Despite the fact that are not clear, the biological mechanisms of their development, the study found important values on those who were suffering from TEA. Among them, to be male, younger children (born between 2008 and 2010), those who had not received vaccination previously, and as we've commented, those who have siblings who already had the disorder.

"59913","Unicef warned on Friday of the resurgence of measles in the world and pointed out that ten countries, including Brazil, Ukraine and France, were responsible for about three-quarters of the total increase of cases in 2018. Globally, 98 countries reported more cases of measles in 2018 than in 2017, which makes it difficult to progress in the treatment of this disease is highly preventable, but potentially deadly, said the Fund United Nations Children's fund, in a statement. “It is a wake-up call, we have a vaccine is safe, effective and economic against a highly contagious disease, a vaccine that has saved nearly a million lives each year during the last two decades,” said Henrietta Fore, executive director of Unicef. Ukraine, the Philippines, and Brazil experienced the largest annual increase in cases. In 2018, there were 35.120 cases in Ukraine, about 30,000 more than in 2017. And according to the government, 24.042 more people were infected in the first two months of 2019. In Brazil, there were 10.262 cases in 2018, by none the previous year. In France, the increase between 2017 and 2018 was eur 2,269 cases, according to Unicef. The poor health infrastructure, civil unrest, low community awareness, the complacency and the reluctance to vaccinate has caused these epidemics in the developed and developing countries, the agency said. The World Health Organization (WHO) has already warned about an outbreak of measles in the world, with a jump of around 50 per cent of the cases registered last year, compared with 2017, killing 136,000 people. The increase of this disease, more contagious than the flu or tuberculosis, is linked in some countries to claims lacking medical rationale linking the measles vaccine (MMR vaccine) to autism, and that spread, in part, on the social networks by members of the movement called “anti-vaccine”. Last month, the WHO classified the “doubts about vaccines” as one of the top 10 global threats to health in 2019. However, WHO recalled recently that “the principal reason” for the failure in the infant immunization is that “those most in need (...) not have access to the vaccine”.",11,"spain"
"78104","Italy has now passed legislation that requires parents to vaccinate their children before they start school. It is the family who chooses to do so, run the risk of heavy fines. The legislation, which had been forced up by the growing global antivaccinationsrörelse that threaten the health of the population. We live in an age in which the 'gut feeling', and the general opinion, unfortunately, has come to be, eventually, a research of the some people. And it is very provoking, because it is very dangerous. All parents want to do what is best for their children. However, when the parents opt to intentionally expose their children and others at risk, it is necessary for society to act on it. As is the case with vaccination against diseases such as measles. In order to achieve and maintain herd immunity, that is to say, that enough people are immunized to prevent the spread and, for example, cancer patients, children who can't be vaccinated to become infected, there is a vaccinationsgrad of not less than 95 per cent. In Sweden, vaccination of the respondent slightly more than 96 per cent of all the children, in the last year of the national vaccination programme against the disease. In 2016, however, only 70 per cent of the population in the World, and the cities and communities have taken to the so-called MMR vaccine-which protects against measles, mumps, and rubella according to the Swedish television, SVT. In the Stockholm region stands also in Time and in the Järva district of stockholm in terms of the number of immunizations. When vaccinationsgraden is less than the limit, which will give us the herd immunity, are at risk, we are affected by the mässlingsutbrott. Not so bad in the western world, "" says vaccinationsmotstandarna. Risk of hjärnhinneinflamation, permanent disability, and even death, say doctors, the statistics, and the overall presentation of the medical science. What vaccinationsmotstandarna turns out is mostly from the side-effects of vaccination. They are frequently referred to as a consciously new study from 1998, authored by Andrew Wakefield published in the medical journal, The Lancet, in which it was found that the mässlingsvaccin could cause autism. The research that have been tampered with, however, is not research. It is a deception. The doctor who wrote the report were also subsequently with their doctor as a result of the said research. The following studies have also pointed out that the context cannot be verified. However, such a concern does not vaccinationsmotstandarna. That many parents are anxious to do the wrong thing and causing their children harm are natural. However, the government and the parliament need to take responsibility for the health of the public, and, according to all available data and research, is by far the best for a child public health, children immunized, against diseases like measles. And when the parents are not in itself capable of making the right decisions for their children, someone else to step up and take on this responsibility. For those who are suffering, and in the end, the risk of dying are those children who have not been vaccinated. In such countries as Italy and Germany, have also felt the need to legislate for a duty to vaccinate their children. The communicable diseases act in Sweden is governed, the government's obligation to provide the vaccinations. There are also provided the individual is not a duty to be vigilant and to take reasonable precautionary measures in order to help ""prevent the spread of infectious diseases. Infectious disease is not simply a matter of the individual; it is a social issue. The fact that Swedish children should be able to permanent damage or even die because the parents decided not to vaccinate them is not something that society is willing to accept. The vaccination programme against measles, rubella, and mumps was introduced in 1971. Of those who are vaccinated against the disease, develops in 15% of immunity against measles, the first dose, according to the WHO, what, which is why the vaccine is given twice, as in Sweden. In a country like Sweden, it is easy to be led to look more closely at the side effects of the vaccine than of the disease the vaccine is being made against, and the belief that refraining from vaccinating their children, maybe not so bad after all. Part of the problem comes down to the fact that we are in Sweden for decades, going back to the programme, which has led to diseases like measles and polio are no longer a part of our collective consciousness. Flockimmuniteten there are, however, in which, thanks to the vaccination program. No. However, even if the absence of diseases such as measles due to the vaccination programme today, as a matter of course, in Sweden, it is not, however, in other parts of the world. In 2015, the dog, the 15 people in an hour, all around the world from measles, according to the world health organization. The vast majority of them were children under 5 years of age, in countries, mainly in Africa and Asia. Measles is an airborne virus, and the presence of such a thing. There is currently no antiviral treatment for the measles vaccine, what is vaccination, as a preventive measure. 2016 to be vaccinated 85 per cent of all the children of the world against the measles, and, between 2000 and 2015, was rejected, according to the Who estimates, over 20 million people, thanks to the vaccination programme against the disease.

""If you are in the 60-talist, and can't remember if you've had the disease, and the lack of information about vaccination, then you should make sure to get vaccinated, for example, when you are traveling abroad. As long as you are in Sweden, the risk of infection is very low, because we have such a high coverage in the community. Then, in 2013, all vaccinations are recorded in the Folkhälsomyndighetens national vaccinationsregister. Prior to that, there was no record. The one who was born prior to 2013 and would like to find out if you have been vaccinated will have to go look up the records from the hospital where the vaccine was given. If you do not want to make the effort, it is not safe to take an extra dose of the vaccine, even if they have previously been vaccinated, according to Adam Roth.",11,"sweden"

"46813","""I was afraid,"" says Sarah Lutz-Simon, head of the MSF emergency team in South Kivu, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).  ""When we arrived at the health centre, they had put 40 sick children together in one room, in the dark. The image was hard to take in: they were weak, with red eyes, runny noses and rashes on their skin.""  Measles has reappeared in DRC at an alarming rate, with alerts of outbreaks in different parts of the country.  Our emergency teams have recently faced an outbreak of the disease in Mulungu, South Kivu, a remote area in the turbulent eastern province of DRC.  In response, they have vaccinated 4,165 children.  The highly contagious viral disease is one of the leading killers of young children worldwide, despite it being easily preventable.  MSF A member of the emergency team vaccinates a child in Mulungu.  Vaccinating villages  Sarah's team was ""seeing a very rapid increase"" in the number of measles cases in South Kivu: they had already seen 10 patients in December, with the number rising sharply in recent weeks.  In response, they created isolation zones in order to free up health centres and start treatment.  The temporary isolation centres we create are basic, consisting of 10 beds made of wood which are covered with plastic.  Because there is no anitviral treatment for measles, our medical staff try to prevent dehydration, monitor fever and manage any complications that may arise from measles, including eye and ear infections among others.  Three centres were built in different areas in Kivu in the space of one month.  Additionally, six teams were deployed to begin vaccinations in villages as soon as possible. This would act as a firewall against infection to eventually halt the spreading of the disease.  Crossing vine bridges and swelling rivers  One of the toughest challenges for our emergency team was dealing with the area's terrain: thick jungle, unpaved roads, and long distances between villages made it difficult to respond to the measles outbreak.  It took them two days to drive from the capital, Bukavu, to Bisisi, and from there a futher five hours to walk along trails to get to Idunga (a village).  ""It's not only the geographical distance and obstacles - hills, mountains, swollen rivers, lack of roads, mud, jungle - but also the presence of armed men, which make access to health even more complicated in this area.""  ""That was the easy part,"" says Sarah. ""Some of the teams had to walk from Idunga for three days to reach the remote areas.""  At one point our staff had to cross a bridge made out of vines.  Given the swelling of the rivers, and serious doubts over its stability, staff safety needed to be assessed.  However, they finally managed to cross it along with all of the equipment.  Help from local residents  We enrolled several hundred residents of the area to work as porters.  In conjunction with the Ministry of Health, they also helped with measles vaccinations, securing 94 percent coverage.  They also informed the population and treated the cases presenting the most complications.  Dealing with armed groups  Another challenge of working in South Kivu is the number of armed groups in the area.  We spoke with every one of the small groups based in each particular area, so that our team could gain access to vaccinate and treat the people who were ill.  Phil Moore Porters carry sacks containing vaccination equipment over a bridge of bamboo and vines from a previous vaccination campaign in DRC in 2014.  “It’s not only the geographical distance and obstacles — hills, mountains, swollen rivers, lack of roads, mud, jungle,"" says Sarah. ""It is also the presence of armed men, making access to health even more complicated here.""  The value of MSF intervention  Sarah notes that the mass measles vaccination campaign in South Kivu has been of enormous importance to her.  “The impact is immediate,"" she says. ""We’ve saved many lives. People were very happy because they were really worried about the outbreak and they had only received aid sporadically.  ""Seeing the number of affected people decrease in such a short time following vaccination is the best thing.""  MSF Children between six months and 15 years were vaccinated against measles, pneumococcal bacteria, hepatitis, haemophilus, diphtheria, tetanus and whooping cough.  In total, 352 children were treated and two deaths were recorded: one on the day that MSF arrived in Itanga, and another in the case of a child whose family had resorted to local healers.  Besides measles, children in the Mulungu area were also vaccinated against pneumococcus, hepatitis, haemophilus bacteria, diphtheria, tetanus and whooping cough, in a new combination of antigens used for the first time in the province.  The teams are now prepared to tackle new alerts of measles.  fInd out more about our work in democratic republic of congo",11,"uk"
"48213","Share WhatsApp Share Pin Shares 9  Public Health England is asking parents and young people to check that they have received two doses of the MMR vaccine following a rise in cases of measles across the South West area.  Parents are being advised to be aware of the signs and symptoms of measles.  The reminder comes during European Immunisation Week, 23rd-29th April, which promotes the core message that immunisation is vital to prevent diseases and protect life.  As part of the rise in cases, PHE can confirm that it is working with a number of settings and local authorities in the area to investigate reports of measles.  Measles is a highly infectious viral illness that can be very unpleasant and sometimes lead to serious complications. It is now uncommon in the UK because of the effective MMR vaccination programme.  Although usually a mild illness in children, measles can be more severe in adults.  Dominic Mellon, Consultant in Communicable Disease Control for Public Health England South West, said: “While measles is now relatively uncommon in England thanks to the MMR vaccine, those who are unvaccinated, or not fully vaccinated, remain susceptible to the disease.  “The cases we have seen recently in the area have affected young adults. It is important to be aware that it is never too late to have the vaccine, so if you’ve not received two doses of the vaccine in the past – or you’re unsure – speak to your GP.  “There’s no harm in receiving an additional dose where there is any uncertainty.  “Also remain alert to the symptoms of measles, which can include cold-like symptoms, sore red eyes, a high temperature or a red-brown blotchy rash.  “If you experience these symptoms seek medical attention, but be sure to phone ahead before you visit your GP surgery so arrangements can be made to prevent others from being infected.  “You should also see your GP if you’ve been in close contact with someone who has measles and you’ve not been fully vaccinated (had two doses of the MMR vaccine)  Dr Julie Yates, Lead Consultant for Screening and Immunisation in the South West added: “The measles cases we are currently seeing in South West England are linked to ongoing large outbreaks in Europe.  “People who have recently travelled, or are planning to travel to Romania, Italy and Germany and other parts of Europe, and who have not had 2 doses of the MMR vaccine, are particularly at risk of acquiring the infection whilst abroad, developing the infection once they return home and then spreading it to other susceptible people.  “To be protected, you need to have had two doses of the MMR vaccine. The most important message to get out to anyone who may be concerned is that it is never too late to have MMR.  “Since 1 January 2018, 32 cases of measles have been confirmed in the area, compared to no confirmed cases during the same period between January and March 2017.  “The increase in cases locally across Avon, Gloucestershire and Wiltshire is in line with increases currently being reported in other parts of England and Wales.  “We know that in the Avon, Gloucestershire and Wiltshire area, vaccine uptake rates have improved in recent years, but these continue to remain below the 95% level required to provide population protection.  “Uptake rates in previous years, particularly during the late 1990s / 2000s, have at times been lower resulting in a particular risk now to young people aged 15 to 25 years who missed having their MMR at that time.  “This current increase in cases serves as an important reminder for parents to take up the routine offer of the first MMR vaccination for their children at 1 year of age and a second as part of the pre-school booster at 3 years and 4 months of age.  “Children and young adults who missed out on their MMR vaccine in the past, or who are unsure if they have had 2 doses of MMR, should also contact their GP practice to request these vaccines to bring them up to date.  “We’d also encourage people of any age that is travelling to countries with ongoing measles outbreaks to ensure they are up to date with their MMR vaccines before they go abroad.”",11,"uk"

People who were born before measles vaccines were introduced 50 years ago already have a degree of natural immunity from being exposed to the disease in their youth. But younger people will need significantly higher immunisation rates, according to Italian scientists.

"49513","Dr Anne Schuchat, the deputy director at the CDC, said the US’ health protection agency was “really concerned” as the US suffers its biggest measles outbreak since the disease was eradicated in 2000. Speaking to CBS, Dr Schuchat added: “Some of the outbreaks are not yet under control and so I do expect the numbers to rise. I hope parents realise that measles can be serious and making sure their children received this safe and effective vaccine is important.”  Some of the outbreaks are not yet under control and so I do expect the numbers to rise Dr Anne Schuchat  Dr Jon LaPook also warned the disease is now “roaring back” as he outlined the dangers of not getting immunised. Dr LaPook said: “Why it is so important is because there is a concept called herd immunity and herd immunity means that if enough people get immunised it not only protects the person who is immunised, it protects people who are not able to get immunised. “So, people and parents need to understand when they decide not to vaccinate their child, they’re not just rolling the dice for their own child, they are rolling the dice for other people, for babies under that age of one that are too young to get immunised, for people with cancer, for people with immune deficiencies and for pregnant women.” Dr LaPook said Measles is one of the “most infections things, warning it can linger in the air for a couple of hours even after the infected person has left the room.  Measles outbreak: Expert urges parents to get children vaccinated  He also warned: “You can also be infectious before you even have symptoms.” Shocking figures from the World Health Organisation (WHO) also reveal that across the globe the number of measles cases around the world have quadrupled over the past year. Preliminary data released from the global health agency shows the number of outbreaks has soared by 300 percent in the first three months of 2019 compared to the same period last year. Initial figures show the extent of the health crisis, with 112,163 reported cases of the disease already this year across 170 countries, compared to just 28,124 cases across 163 countries in 2018.",11,"uk"
"6734","Measles is caused by a virus that spreads very easily when an infected person breathes, coughs or sneezes. It spreads so easily that anyone who is not protected (or being immunized or having had measles in the past) can contrary if you go into a room where he stayed for a sick person in the last two hours. How serious is measles? Measles is a disease typical of the age child, but can lead to complications even series. About one in 10 children with measles contracted an ear infection and one out of 20 of pneumonia. One or two out of a thousand die of complications from measles. Measles can also cause abortion in pregnancy, or premature birth. Complications from measles is usually observed among children aged less than five years and adults over the age of 20 years. What are the symptoms of measles? Measles causes fever, common cold, cough and a rash all over the body. People can spread measles before they show symptoms. When they appear the symptoms? • 7-21 days after exposure: fever, mild to moderate cough, runny nose, stinging eyes, and sore throat. • 2 to 4 days after the onset of the symptoms: small white patches can appear inside the mouth. • 3 to 5 days after the onset of symptoms: a rash red or reddish-brown, similar to sandpaper,which usually begins on the face. The eruption spreads rapidly along the neck, the arms and the chest. Later, sprawls on his back, on the abdomen, on the rest of the arms, thighs, legs and feet. When you see the rash, the fever is solimanete high. The symptoms usually last from seven to ten days. How it is treated the measles? There is no specific treatment for the measles. The only valid alternative is the vaccine As it prevents the measles? Being vaccinated is the best protection against the measles. When more than 90% of people are vaccinated against measles, the disease slows down and does not spread. This is called immunity in the community. Who is at risk of measles? Anyone who has not been immunized or has not had measles in the past is at risk. Children under the age of 12 months are at risk because most are too young to yet be vaccinated. Pregnant women, small children and people with a weakened immune system are at a higher risk of complications from measles. What happens if somebody in my family contracted the measles or has been exposed to someone with measles? You should advise your family doctor and ask for advice before going to the studio, avoiding the risk of transmitting the disease would be appropriate for a home visit. there is a vaccine for the measles? The vaccine's most common for the measles is the MPR, which protects from measles, mumps and rubella.(it's also good if you have already contracted one of the 3 diseases) to Those in need of the measles vaccine (MMR)? Children need two doses of MMR - the first dose at age 12-15 months and the second at four to six years of age. Pregnant women should receive the vaccine against the measles? Pregnant women should not take the vaccine . Based on the recommendations of the Centre of Disease Control (CDC) of the united states, the Committee on Safety of Vaccines (GVACS) of the World Health Organization and the recommendations of the Committees of the EMA, as a precautionary measure we recommend that you wait a minimum of 28 days to a maximum of 3 months after the vaccination before starting a pregnancy, complications of measles are frequent? Complications are relatively rare, but measles is still responsible for a number between 30 and 100 deaths for every 100,000 people affected. The complications are mainly due to super-infections, bacterial: otitis media, laryngitis, diarrhea, pneumonia or encephalitis (inflammation of the brain). Occurs more often in infants, in malnourished children or in people immunocompromesse.

In two instalments According to the professor, outbreak of measles usually occurs in the winter months, which means that measures should be taken now. In particular, parents should take care for the timely and full vaccination of children with two doses of the vaccine. As explains mr. <U+03A4><U+03C3><U+03B1><U+03BA><U+03C1><U+03AE><U+03C2>, the first dose of the vaccine for measles should be done after 12 months of age of the child, and the second then follows by four weeks.

The previous year, 2016, the cases were just 5.273. ""Every new case of measles in Europe reminds us that the unvaccinated children and adults, regardless of where they live, remain at high risk of not only suffering, but also to transmit the disease to others, who may not have the possibility of vaccination,"" said dr.

The president of the CDC stresses that it is important for the application of vaccination in people who live or work in closed communities and expresses the hope that ""the mobilisation and vaccinations throughout the country will contribute as a catalyst in the control of the epidemic, so as not to put a question of the application of a compulsory vaccination"". As pointed out, wrongly, the population believes that measles is a childhood disease, as well as ""adults become ill, although more rarely than measles, but more serious than the children"", stressing that ""approximately 30% of cases of measles will experience one or more complications, is more frequent in children under 5 years of age and in adults over 20 years old,"" Explains that sometimes, these complications can even cause death, stating that from the beginning of the epidemic until today, there have been three deaths, all in unvaccinated or incompletely vaccinated individuals with vaccine measles. The fact that the deaths were individuals unvaccinated or incompletely vaccinated, according to mr. Rosenberg, ""underlines the need for the administration of 2 doses vaccine against measles"". ""The majority of cases of measles in the general population of Greek citizenship were adults over the age of 25,"" comments on the occasion of the last fatal case of the disease involving a 35-year-old woman who had been vaccinated, but only with one dose.

Measles, a ""forgotten"" for many years disease, is responsible for serious complications in infants and adults. The Panhellenic Medical Association has already asked the CDC and the General Secretariat of Public Health to inform the people about the vaccination, and in parallel is planning its own campaign. In the 67th Session of the WHO, which was held not long ago in Budapest, it was announced that the period 2016-2017 in Europe were recorded to 14,000 official cases and 41 deaths. In Greece, the years the cases were in a single-digit number, the last four were recorded about 160 cases of measles, of which 60 in the last 17 days. The General Secretariat for Public Health has already decided to intensify the immunization with the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR vaccine) through campaigns of mass vaccination in refugees, immigrants and groups of the Roma population. The National Committee on Vaccination, on the other hand, with scheme circular of recommends immediate vaccination for children, adolescents, and adults who have no history of disease, have been born after 1970 and have not made all installments. The National Immunization Schedule provides that the MMR vaccine should be made in two instalments: The first at the age of 12 months and the second three months after, or in a different case as soon as possible.

"25416","From Iatropedia What is the disease measles is a respiratory, contagious disease caused by a virus that belongs to the group of paramyxo. The disease of measles and the virus that causes it have the same name. The measles virus normally grows in the cells that are in the back of the throat and lungs. What's the reason for the disease – Causes - Factors that can trigger The disease is caused by the measles virus and it's transmitted by air by breathing, coughing or sneezing. The measles have high infectivity and can be transmitted from the person who has been exposed to the disease in another, four days before until four days after appearance of rash. The incubation period of the disease is 9-12 days (in rare cases it may take even 20 days.Measles is so contagious that if one person is ill, 90% of the people who are in close contact with that person and are not immune to measles will become infected with the measles virus. The measles virus lives in the mucus of the nose and throat of the infected person. When the person coughs or sneezes the droplets sprayed in the air and is transmitted in the nose and throat of others as they breathe, or through the hands that touch the nose or the mouth, while before they have touched contaminated surfaces with droplets of the measles virus. The virus lives on contaminated surfaces for more than two hours. Epidemiological evidence of measles is rare in countries and regions where the vaccination coverage against measles is high, but is endemic (permanently increased frequency of individual cases of measles in an area) in many parts of the world and in countries that do not apply systematically the vaccine of measles, and may occur in epidemics (many cases in most areas) every 2-4 years. Worldwide, the cases of measles are calculated in 20000000 the year, while the deaths from measles 197000. Most of the deaths occur in India. How is it manifested, the disease - Symptoms The symptoms of measles appear 7-21 days after infection of the person with the virus and include: macular rash all over body fever cough rhinorrhoea eye redness and tearing, feeling of weakness, tiny white spots with <U+03C5><U+03C0><U+03BF><U+03BA><U+03CD><U+03B1><U+03BD><U+03BF> – white center located in the center of the mouth (Koplik's spots) A typical case of measles begins with moderate fever, cough, rhinorrhea, eye redness and irritation in the throat. Two or three days after the onset of symptoms may occur tiny white spots in the mouth. Three to five days after the onset of symptoms occurs red rash on the body. The rash usually first appears on the hairline of the face and diffuses (moves) towards the neck, trunk, hands and feet. When the rash appears the fever may reach up to 40o C. After a few days the fever subsides and the rash fades. Disease diagnosis – Tests The clinical diagnosis of measles is based on the symptoms. The laboratory diagnosis of measles can be done with confirmation of positive antibody IgM measles or the isolation of RNA of measles virus from respiratory samples. Contact with a patient known to have measles or afflicted recently by measles adds strong epidemiological evidence for the diagnosis. What are the complications about 30% of cases with measles develop one or more complications: Croup Bronchiolitis Pneumonia (which is the most frequent cause of death from measles in young children) Otitis occurs in about 1 case for every 10 cases of measles, and can receive permanent hearing loss. Diarrhea occurs in about 8% of the cases. Encephalitis Treatment – Methods of treatment there is No treatment for measles. The fever is treated by the administration of antipyretics, preferably paracetamol. Also consists of administration of fluids and <U+03B1><U+03C0><U+03BF><U+03B3><U+03C5><U+03B3><U+03AE> activities that are easy on the eyes (reading, tv) which is irritable. The administration of antibiotics is not recommended unless complications develop. How to prevent the disease – Prognosis The vaccine of the measles vaccine known as MMR (Anti-Mumps-Rubella) is a combination vaccine which provides protection for three diseases: measles, mumps, and rubella, and which is safe and effective. The vaccine is given in two doses: 1st dose at age 12-15 months and the second at age 4 to 6 years of age. In special cases (pregnant women, people with cancer, people with a reduced immune system) that have not been vaccinated or have not had measles and come into contact with a person who is suffering from measles, may be granted <U+03C5><U+03C0><U+03B5><U+03C1><U+03AC><U+03BD><U+03BF><U+03C3><U+03BF><U+03C2> <U+03B3>-globulin to protect themselves from the measles. The <U+03B3>-globulin may be administered no later than 6 days from the day on which the person came into contact with the patient and can ensure full protection, or in case you become infected will display milder symptoms.",11,"greece"

The virus selectively enters the cancer cells and leads them to self-destruct without affecting the healthy cells of the body.

In the same way modified viruses are able to neutralize effectively the cancer cells"". Problem the slow speed of production of new medicines As mentioned in the ""Interesting,"" the professor Evanthia Galanis, one of the major problems of oncology internationally is the slow speed, but the high cost of development and production of new drugs. Recently, the mr Galanis chaired a scientific session on clinical trials of new drugs, during which were discussed the ways in which it can be made more effective, in order to speed up the production of new drugs.

In the same interview, mr Galanis described some of the ways through which it is hoped abbreviation of time in the phases of clinical trials of new drugs, stating that the ""Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology"" (a coalition of academic and research institutions in the USA), is conducting a clinical study with a methodology that can significantly reduce the time of clinical trials between two stages in half the time, 7-8 years that normally would be required. source:www.neakriti.gr",11,"greece"
"27316","A few days ago, the ministry of Health showed the danger of the revival of a an outbreak of measles in our country, putting the issue of immunisation in every Greek family, but in the top of the agenda of public health policies. Recommended immediate vaccination of children, adolescents and adults who have not been vaccinated, while, exceptionally, the conduct of the first dose of the vaccine to the babies at the age of 12 months and the second dose three months later. Until recently, the first recommended between 12-15 months and the second at age 4-6 years. The ""As Long.Co."" sought the most appropriate in order to answer the questions with regard to ways of prevention and the dangers of a ""return"" of measles: the secretary-general of Public Health of the ministry of Health, John <U+039C><U+03C0><U+03B1><U+03C3><U+03BA><U+03CC><U+03B6><U+03BF>, and the chairman of the National Committee on Immunization, emeritus professor of Pediatrics, University of Athens, Maria Theodoridou. The resurgence of measles in our country, explains the C. <U+039C><U+03C0><U+03B1><U+03C3><U+03BA><U+03CC><U+03B6><U+03BF><U+03C2>, due to the existence of populations with low vaccination coverage, such as migrant populations, e.x. Roma, immigrants who do not ""obey"" in the proposals for the vaccination and one must act on the spot, and of course to the people of belief are not vaccinating their children, ""among which are, unfortunately, some health"". ""In recent years, the phenomenon of questioning the utility and effectiveness of vaccines arises at times in public debates on the basis of the dilemma for or against vaccines,"" he explains. ""The <U+03B1><U+03BD><U+03C4><U+03B9><U+03B5>µß<U+03BF><U+03BB><U+03B9><U+03B1><U+03C3><U+03C4><U+03B9><U+03BA><U+03CC> movement has gotten quite large dimensions and in our country, has formed a constantly growing cautious approach to vaccines in terms of their necessity, their contribution to public health and safety, and leads parents to be skeptical on if they will vaccinate their children or not"". The chairman of the National Committee on Vaccination explains that in order to be entrenched in the disease, requires the cooperation of the competent bodies and services, the physicians and the parents. The vaccination coverage required by the measles, given that every infectious disease requires a different rate, according to the professor emeritus of the University of Athens is extremely high, since they must be above 95%. In addition to suffering from the same infectious disease with ten days of high fever, as he says, the risk of the disease are the major complications that can result in respiratory and central nervous system. The revival of an outbreak of measles points to the M. Theodoridou, confirming that there is ""a climate of reluctance in terms of serving parents"", ""it's a chance to wake up the parents who thought that infectious diseases is in the past. Will be past as performed vaccinations. Otherwise you'll see everything from the beginning"". The studies mr. <U+039C><U+03C0><U+03B1><U+03C3><U+03BA><U+03CC><U+03B6><U+03BF><U+03C2> relied on two studies. The first, of the Institute of Social and Preventive Medicine, showed that 55% of the population has no information as to the necessity of vaccines, while the 40% that is informed from the internet. The second, of the Pediatrics Company, that 11% of pediatricians refused to vaccinate their children, including the measles-mumps-rubella. ""These outdated and dangerous positions will be played and will increase as long as the information remains personal and in the absence of a responsible, systematic, and planned information,"" he points out. For the climate to change this, says Maria Theodoridou, required and from the pediatrician to devote time. ""Initially, to hear the reasons why parents are hesitant because it is always revered that which they believe parents. Then with scientific criteria and with references to scientific pages to give them the tools to create a new point of view on vaccinations. Or to present it in a way that is dogmatic in the usefulness of vaccines either to reject parents who do not wish to vaccinate their children. Because there is this attitude on the part of a section of the pediatricians across parents who don't want vaccines: ""search for another pediatrician to"""". Still two issues that do not help in the immunisation of the population highlights the secretary-general: the launch of the price of children's vaccines 2.700% (!) and the lack of them in the last decade. ""The frequent shortages due to a lack of production create problems to the successful outcome of universal vaccination,"" he says, and adds that ""it is crucial to take immediate action to address the rising costs of childhood vaccines, in order to enable the member to fulfil the objectives of vaccination, and to prevent the spread of disease to more vulnerable populations"". ¦The World Health Organization estimates that one in five children is not vaccinated, while 1.5 million children each year lose their lives from diseases that could have been prevented if they had been vaccinated. ¦Although in previous years in our country recorded on a very small number of sporadic incidents of measles (about 1 case per year in the last 3 years), in the last 4 months have been recorded 100 incidents. ¦Severe epidemic outbreaks of measles have occurred recently in several european countries (e.x.

Until 17-9-2017 in Greece have been recorded 160 cases of measles, with greater frequency in New york. Greece. Mainly concerns young children from Roma communities, and persons 25-44 years of age from the general population who are susceptible to measles. The epidemiological surveillance and the timely implementation of preventive measures (vaccinations), are the most appropriate measures to control the disease. In developed countries, before the introduction of vaccination, was ill for about 90% of the population by the age of 15 years. After the implementation of vaccination in countries with high vaccination coverage, reduced the incidence of the disease up to 98%.

"490","The policies of the current vaccine in the developed countries will not put an end to the resurgence of measles seen in the last few years, "" says a study to be published Friday, which recommended compulsory vaccination of children before they enter primary school. The world Health Organization (WHO) has sounded the alarm in April, while the cases of measles, a viral disease highly contagious, have been multiplied by four in the first quarter of 2019, compared to the same period of the previous year. This sharp rise in key the majority of people not or poorly vaccinated. If the majority of contamination occurs in countries in conflict or with poor access to health care, many developed countries are also facing a sharp increase in the number of cases, a phenomenon that experts attribute to a distrust of vaccines in general and MMR (measles/mumps/rubella) in particular. Researchers of the Foundation Bruno Kessler, in Trento (Italy), were modeled by computer, what would be the situation of measles in seven rich countries by 2050, according to different scenarios of vaccination. In almost all the countries studied (Uk, Usa, Ireland, Australia and Italy), the politics of health care as they exist today are insufficient to guarantee a level of immunization, ""course"" among the population until 2050, they concluded. According to their analysis, the proportion of unvaccinated persons would already be above the threshold of the ""safety"" of 7.5% in Italy, where several outbreaks have been reported in recent months. In the United Kingdom, where 3.7% of the population is not vaccinated against measles at present, this proportion could climb to 8% in 2050 without alteration of the existing health programs. ""It is very difficult to predict future epidemics,"" stresses Filippo Trentini, co-author of the study, published in the journal BMC Medicine. But ""our results suggest that, at current levels of immunization coverage, the program routine will not be sufficient to maintain the high levels of immunity necessary for the next decades"", he adds. According to the WHO, the proportion of unvaccinated individuals in a given country must not exceed 6% to 8% in order to avoid major epidemics. ""These countries would certainly benefit from the introduction of the vaccination on entry to the school in addition to immunization programs present"", judge Piero Poletti, also a co-author of the study. A vaccination requirement for children, such as the ones adopted recently in France and Italy, however, will be accompanied by an increased awareness of the public health to be effective, he adds.

The results of the first attempt, conducted by the Mayo Clinic on two patients, are published the 14th of may in Mayo Clinic Proceedings. In the context of this clinical trial, the researchers integrated two volunteers diagnosed with multiple myeloma, a cancer which affects the plasma cells of the bone marrow. All therapeutic options had failed. The team from the Mayo Clinic has developed an attenuated virus of measles, modified to only target the cancer cells and spare the healthy cells. Each patient received a dose by intravenous injection, with viral load as high as possible. Immune violent The immune system has reacted in an extreme manner in the two cases. This is the necessary condition for the eradication of tumors. The patients manifested high fever (40-40,5°C), episodes of tachycardia and hypotension. Stacy Erhotz, she has suffered from nausea and vomiting soon after the injection and developed a thrombosis of superficial arm who received the virus. It is this reaction which enabled him to destroy all cancer cells of her body. The second patient presented a reaction less strong, but has seen the cancer of the bone marrow and the presence of protein myeloma. Suffering from fever less intense, a tachycardia less pronounced and its voltage is higher, his body has not been able to eliminate all the cancer cells.

"2923","The genome of measles observed at the atomic level Tweeter 0 notice : Wednesday, 08/05/2019 - 06:57 the measles virus is a human pathogen infectious, causing disease in the strong resurgence of the world. To replicate and spread, viruses need to protect and to multiply the copies of their genome. The measles virus uses for this suprastructures specific, the "" nucleocapsids "". These consist of a large number of copies of the same protein that covers the molecule bearing the genetic information of the virus. The researchers from the CEA Irig (IBS) have developed experimental methods to encapsidate a specific sequence of RNA (ribonucleic acid, a component of the genome of this virus) in vitro, and allow to study the structural mechanics to work with the cryo-electron microscopy. They have thus been able to observe, at atomic resolution (about 3.3 Angstroms), interaction fine between the viral genome and the nucleoprotein constituent of the nucleocapsid of measles virus. The identification of the amino acids that are essential for the packaging, among those composing the nucleoproteins, allows you to better understand how the polymerase RNA of the virus will be able to access the genetic material in spite of the capsid, to replicate the virus.

This is what one might expect in the light of the latest figures from the regional Agency of health (ARS) : 56 cases were recorded in the single month of October. Last year, in the same period, only three cases had been registered in the region. No deaths and no severe form of the disease has been reported, but 11 people have been hospitalized since the month of September. Among them, mainly children 4 years of age whose vaccinations were not up to date. The Seine-Saint-Denis is the department most affected. ""The fact that the paris region is an area very dense with people that travel a lot and many of the exchanges can be a source of explanation,"" notes Dr. Luc Ginot, director health promotion and reduction of inequalities ARS Île-de-France. In the region, the coverage of complete vaccine for children 24 months is 85%, which remains insufficient. The non-vaccination can be explained by several factors, according to Dr. Ginot : ""children who have received a dose, but not both, a lack of information and difficulties of access to the health system for some people, and a distrust for others."" A potentially fatal disease It is now estimated that a rate of 95% immunization provide immunization coverage to be effective. However, this rate is much lower in Europe, especially in France. This under-vaccination is accompanied since 2008, a resurgence of measles cases in the territory. ""This disease is very highly contagious, with a patient who may contaminate 15 to 20 people"", says Dr. Ginot. Measles is a potentially fatal disease. If a sufficient proportion of the population is properly vaccinated, however, the virus does not find relay and can only spread by infecting vulnerable people (children who have not received two doses of vaccine, immunocompromised persons, persons who did not respond to the vaccine, other individuals who are non-vaccinated).

""We really need to reassure the population vis-a-vis the interest and safety of vaccines"", said, Thursday, August 29 on franceinfo, Odile Launay, infectious diseases physician at the Hospital Cochin of Paris. In a statement released Tuesday, the world health Organization (WHO) is concerned about the increase in the number of measles cases in Europe. franceinfo : In France, vaccination against measles is mandatory for all children. How is it that there has not yet been a 2 400 cases of measles recorded since the beginning of the year, two of which are dead ? Odile Launay : The vaccination has been made compulsory for children who are born on or after 1 January 2018, so these are children who are still young, with a vaccination that is done at the age of one year and a booster between 16 and 18 months. The difficulty today is to be able to vaccinate children born before January 1, 2018, and especially the young adults. In this population, the vaccination coverage - the proportion of those vaccinated - is very poor. In these populations, more than 80% are people who are not vaccinated or who have had only one dose of vaccine. Therefore, the recommendation is to be very vigilant, to be able to look at his health record, verify that it has been vaccinated with two doses, and if this is not the case, to go to see his doctor and get vaccinated. This disease is transmitted only from man to man, so if the vaccination is sufficiently used - it should be 95% of the vaccinated population - it must be able to successfully eliminate the disease. What is the current percentage of the population vaccinated against the measles ? It depends on the slices of the population, but it is well below 95% and there are people that they can't be vaccinated, in whom the vaccine cannot be used. What are the immunocompromised, and the two deaths that have been recorded in France occurred in people with a compromised immune system. There are also younger children who cannot be vaccinated. The only way to protect these children, it is really to increase our immunization coverage. The measles has disappeared in Austria, Switzerland and Spain among others. What have they done better than us ? A study carried out recently at the international level shows that Europe is the world region that has the most doubts vis-a-vis the safety of vaccines. And among these european countries, France comes in first place, with a third of the population surveyed who expressed doubts. Today we really need to reassure the population vis-a-vis the interest and safety of vaccines, the general population and also health professionals. Our minister of Health has worked to this, especially with the vaccination requirement is a strong commitment from our political health, and then by increasing training and communication around vaccination.",10,"france"

In the meantime, a few other diseases are among the so-called children's diseases. In this series, we will give you an Overview. Measles – what is that, exactly? Measles is a highly contagious disease caused by viruses. Before the introduction of the measles vaccine has infected most of the people even as children. But even in adults, the disease, have not had or been vaccinated can contract measles. Unfortunately, the dangerous disease occurs even today in Germany, although this would be by means of a comprehensive vaccine-preventable. How am I me? The Transmission of the virus is through coughing, Sneezing, respiratory fluids, air, or other parts of the body. Since the Virus is highly contagious, it is always, if a non-protected person encounters an Infected. How does the measles disease? Of infection with the measles Virus until the outbreak of the disease is 8 to 12 days. The highest risk of Infection during the initial stage and up to four days after the appearance of the rash. In the first days after the outbreak of the disease resembles a severe cold with symptoms like runny nose, cough, fever.

Today, we have the complete data for 2017 (published by the who, which by the ECDC), we can finally make the point: with 5006 confirmed cases and 4 deaths, we are the second country in Europe for number overall, after the Romania (5006 cases against 5562 and 4 deaths, 3 of which are under 10 years of age, against 19 in Romania), and the fourth as the rate of incidence with 83,7 cases per million inhabitants. A boom with respect to 2016, where we had 13 cases per million inhabitants. To make a comparison, countries such as Germany, France, Spain and the United Kingdom have counted, respectively, 927, 520, 282 and 152 cases in the year just ended. In these days came also the data related to January 2018 published by the Superior Health Institute: from the 1st to the 31st of January, 2018, 12 regions have reported to the national surveillance System integrated measles and rubella, 164 cases of measles, including 2 deaths. 40% had developed at least one complication, while more than half was hospitalized. It is, however, a growing trend that is confirmed in the whole of Europe: in 2017 it is recorded in a number of cases of measles-four times higher than in the previous year: 21 315 people affected and 35 dead, after the historic low of 5273 cases in 2016. In general, a country of about four was hit by an epidemic of measles (in 15 countries out of the 53). In our country we are talking about a huge difference: 862 cases in 2016 against the 5006 2017. The good news for Italy, however, there is: in the last months of 2017, the incidence is falling in a clear manner. If in march, a case of measles on 3 in Europe was the Italian, and in December it was only 3.3% of the cases. However the 4 deaths there have been, as well as complications among those who was hit. The last bulletin on measles and rubella of the national Institute of Health reports that 35.8% of the cases reported at least one complication. The most frequent was diarrhea, reported in 15.9% of cases, but have been reported 378 cases of pneumonia (7.6%) and 2 cases of encephalitis. Other complications reported include cases of stomatitis (730 cases), keratoconjunctivitis (496 cases) and hepatitis (444 cases). Click on the image to access the interactive infographics.

In the rest of the world, as is already apparent from the previous report, the number of cases has increased 300% in the first half of 2019, around 364808.

It also stresses the Who, the disease has reappeared in four Countries – the United Kingdom, Greece, Czech Republic and Albania – which had been declared “eliminated”. For the agency, based in Geneva, to obtain the status of “deleting” in a given region, there must be an absence of continuous transmission for at least 12 months. It is not gone so in the United Kingdom (953 cases in 2018 and 489 from the beginning of the year), while in Greece they were 2193 last year and 28 this, in Albania in 2019, we are at the altitude of 475 and in the Czech Republic at 569. Numbers to the hand, in Europe 60% of the victims – 37 from the beginning of the year and 74 in 2018 – less than 19 years. From the beginning of the year 78% of cases was detected in four outbreaks of infection: Kazakhstan, Georgia, Russia and Ukraine, which alone records the 60%. Measles is endemic in 12 european Countries, including Italy, France, and Germany, where vaccination will become mandatory by march 2020. Austria and Switzerland have, however, had access to the status of “deleting” after demonstrating the interruption of transmission for at least 36 months, becoming part of the group of 35 Countries declared to be free from measles. “The revival of the contagion of measles is a serious problem. If we fail to establish and maintain an immunization coverage is high, in every community, adults will get to know the unnecessary suffering, and some will face a tragic death,” he warned Guenter Pfaff, president of the regional Commission, to verify the eradication of measles and rubella. “And yet it is successful in Countries with vaccination coverage of the national extremely high. This should be a little bell of alarm for the whole world. It is not enough, we want high coverage in every community, in every family,” insisted Katherine O'brien, director of the department of vaccination of the Who.

Once the contract there is no cure for measles, but it can be prevented with two doses of the vaccine. Thanks to vaccination between 2000 and 2016, about 20 million deaths in the world have been avoided. The return in force of the disease by 2016 has been attributed to the bad access to care in remote parts of the world and the growing mistrust in vaccines, starting with the western Countries.",10,"italy"

""From the point of view of culture and communication, you must specify very clearly - he says - that the approach based on the principle of the recommendation is not, nor can it be in any way perceived as an attitude of doubt or agnostic of the law in respect of the utility of vaccines - do attitude, which, as already said before, has no scientific reason to be. On the contrary, the approach to vaccination that is based on the principle of the recommendation should be understood as an instrument of social and health to get the vaccination coverage as high as possible and for the longest period of time possible through the involvement of knowledgeable and informed population"". In a post published yesterday evening on Facebook, the same Silvestri had pointed out how in his view, ""there are those whose purpose is more or less confessed is to take advantage of the anti-cowhocks, which was deliberately nested within the M5S (and this guilt you have to admit, always without if and without but') as a 'political weakness' to be able to hit the movement.

The co-head of the department of Internal Medicine of the Hospital Vithas on 9 October, Valencia, Rosa Benitez, noted in a press release that there is the false belief that the ability to spread a virus such as measles is higher among children than in the adult population. Also reports that measles can easily be confused with those of a common cold, and that the period of transmission of the virus is established ""in terms of the symptoms appear and up to four days after the onset of rash (spots on the skin)"". According to the specialist, ""there is no information accredited that the measles virus to lose its ability to spread between adults,"" and warns that the virus can cause otitis, pneumonia, infections of the nervous system such as subacute sclerosing panencephalitis, mortality risk in pregnant women and fetal complications. Advertising In fact, the Ministry of Health has endorsed the recommendation of the Spanish Society of Epidemiology that points to the vaccination of the population between 40 and 50 years if you are not sure you have received the two required doses of the vaccine or have not had measles. For his part, the head of pediatrics of the Hospital Vithas of Valencia and Castellón (hospital Vithas on 9 October, Virgen del Consuelo and Rey Don Jaime), Javier Miranda, also makes special emphasis on the risk of not vaccinating the children.

He also points out that it can contribute to increase the risk in other patients who have not reached the age for vaccination or who have conditions that make them particularly vulnerable. According to Miranda, currently there is an increase of cases of measles that have been confirmed in Spain 157 cases in the first five months of 2019, while that in 2018 there were 220 cases, so that ""the trend is ascending"".

""This is a tragedy that we simply cannot accept"", lamented the director of the european office of this agency of the United Nations, Zsuzsanna Jakab, after submitting the last report of cases of measles in the framework of a ministerial meeting on vaccines held in Montenegro. The increase is somewhat greater to that recorded by the Monitoring System of the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC, in its acronym in English), in a report issued last week alerted that the cases had tripled in the last year in the European Union, passing of 4.643 in 2016 14.451 in 2017, 160 of them in Spain. In the report of the WHO data are collected from the 53 countries that make up the european region, and warns that up to one out of every four countries (13) there have been large outbreaks with over 100 cases. The country most punished according to this report is Romania, with 5.562 cases (half of the 10.623 that identified the same year the ECDC), followed by Italy (5.006) and Ukraine (4.767). In addition, WHO regrets that these countries have suffered a decline of immunization coverage, as a result of interruptions in the supply of vaccines and the lack of coverage in certain groups are marginal.

""Each new person affected by measles in Europe reminds us that children and adults are not vaccinated, regardless of where they live, remain at risk of contracting the disease and spreading it to other people who may not be able to get the vaccine"", has regretted Jakab, who urges all countries to include the eradication of measles and rubella among its priority objectives of Sustainable Development. ""This setback in the short term can not deter us from our commitment to be the generation that frees our children from these diseases once and for all,"" he insisted. To do this, the measures to stop the current outbreaks and prevent new ones must include an increased awareness of the population, the vaccination of health professionals and other groups of risk, or to improve the logistics and supply of vaccines to avoid stock-outs. WHO celebrates that by the end of 2016 a total of 42 of the 53 countries in the european region had interrupted endemic transmission of measles.

"47514","Concerned you or your child might have measles? Measles is now uncommon in the UK because of the effectiveness of vaccination, but anyone can get it if they haven't been vaccinated or haven't had it before. Here's everything you need to know about this contagious viral disease:    What is measles?  Measles starts with cold and flu like symptoms, before developing into a rash. The illness typically lasts from seven to 10 days.  Measles is one of the most contagious viral diseases. It belongs to a family of viruses called the paramyxoviruses which also includes mumps. It is an unpleasant and dangerous childhood disease.    <U+0001F4A1>Measles is a notifiable disease in the UK. This means that, by law, cases are required to be reported to a health officer or local government authority. Speak to your GP for advice.  What are the symptoms of measles?  The initial measles symptoms often include the following:  Measles symptoms usually start with a high fever at about 39oC and a cold.  Coughing, possibly with a barking cough.  Sore throat – the lymph nodes in the throat may swell.  Reddish eyes (conjunctivitis).  Sensitivity to light.  Greyish spots, the size of grains of sand may appear in the mucous membrane of the mouth just around the molar teeth. These are called Koplik's spots and can be seen before the rash appears.  After three to four days the temperature may fall, although it can run high again when the rash appears.  The rash usually begins around the ears and spreads to the body and the legs within a day or two. The spots are a clear red colour.  At first the spots are very small – a couple of millimetres – but they double in size quickly and begin to join together.  The temperature may run as high as 40oC for a couple of days. Then it dissipates together with the rash, which may leave some brown spots.  Symptoms usually clear within 7 to 10 days.  <U+26A0><U+FE0F> Children who have had measles should not return to school or childcare until they are completely recovered and their high temperature has gone down and at least four days after the rash started.  How is measles treated?  The best treatment for measles is to stay in bed in a cool room without any bright lights. Drink plenty of fluids to keep hydrated; warm drinks can help ease coughing.  Paracetamol or ibuprofen can be given to ease discomfort and lower temperature.  If you have been exposed to the measles virus and have never been vaccinated then speak to your GP about receiving a vaccination as soon as possible. This advice includes children over the age of six months. Those under six months, those with a low immune system or pregnant women should speak to their GP about receiving human normal immunoglobulin which can give immediate protection if received within six days of exposure to measles.  How is measles transmitted?  Unless you have already had measles, it is highly infectious and can be spread in the following ways:  <U+2714><U+FE0F> Droplets transfer the infection. Although the sick person may be in isolation, the disease may still spread from room to room.  <U+2714><U+FE0F> Anybody who has not already had measles can be infected.  <U+2714><U+FE0F> Infants up to four months of age will not be infected if their mother has had measles herself because they will be protected by her antibodies.  <U+2714><U+FE0F> The incubation period – the time between infection and the outbreak of the condition – is usually one to two weeks.  <U+2714><U+FE0F> Patients are infectious from four days before the onset of the rash until four days after it appears.  When should you visit your GP?  Measles is a notifiable disease in the UK, so by law you should report it to a health officer or local government authority.  Phone your GP surgery first and explain that you suspect measles, they may wish to make arrangements to keep you away from other patients due to the contagious nature of the disease.  If you are concerned at any point, if you or your child are not improving, deteriorating or the high temperature is not settling then speak to your doctor.    <U+0001F4A1> Once you've had measles, you can never catch it again as the disease gives lifelong immunity.    Measles potential complications  The doctor must make sure there are no further complications such as:  Fitting associated with the high fever (febrile convulsions/febrile fits)  Pneumonia (due to secondary bacterial infection)  Inflammation of the middle ear (otitis media)  Inflammation of the nervous system, eg meningitis, encephalitis. Fortunately, these complications seldom happen and are the exception rather than the rule.  How is measles prevented?  Measles is easily prevented by vaccination in childhood.  In the UK all children between the age of 12 and 13 months are offered the MMR vaccination, which will protect them from measles, mumps and rubella. Children are given a second booster dose of the vaccine between three and a half years of age.    A large rise in the number of cases of measles in the UK has been directly linked to a fall in the number of children who received the MMR vaccine in the late 90's and early 2000's. It's probable that the fall in uptake of the vaccine during this time was a result of widespread media coverage of an unproven link between the MMR vaccine and bowel disease or autism.  Measles is easily prevented by vaccination in childhood.  This scare was based on a piece of research that was seriously flawed and has since been widely discredited. In fact the doctor who was responsible for the research has been struck off the medical register for acting ""dishonestly and irresponsibly"" in his research and ""bringing the medical profession into disrepute"".    The drop in uptake of the MMR vaccination left a generation of children who were born between 1997 and 2003 unprotected or only partially protected against measles, mumps and rubella. Therefore, a catch-up vaccination campaign was conducted during 2013 for unvaccinated children aged 10 to 16 years to have the MMR vaccine to help prevent further outbreaks of all three diseases.  Measles as a single vaccine  Measles is given in a vaccine along with mumps and rubella. Although some people have suggested that giving the three vaccines together might overload a child's immune system, there is no evidence to support this claim. In fact, studies have shown that in general, a child's immune system makes an excellent response to MMR vaccine, thereby protecting them against all three diseases.  Giving all three as single vaccines leaves children exposed to measles, mumps and rubella. The six separate vaccinations required need to be scheduled weeks or months apart potentially leaving children at risk in the extended times between vaccinations.  Due to the effectiveness of the MMR and the concerns surrounding vaccinating for each disease separately, single vaccines are not available on the NHS and have to be accessed via private clinics. The World Health Organisation and other independent health bodies do not recommend the use of single vaccines.  <U+0001F4A1>If you or your child have not had the MMR jab, have only had one dose, or are not sure, you should contact your doctor about getting the vaccine immediately.    Measles and pregnancy  If you are planning a pregnancy, you should make sure that you have a measles vaccination unless you have had the disease in the past.  If in doubt, consult your GP in order to get the MMR vaccine. This vaccine cannot be given during pregnancy and you should not get pregnant for one month after having the jab.  Contracting measles during pregnancy has not been reported to cause any subsequent congenital abnormalities in the baby concerned. However, it can result in miscarriage, premature birth, low birth weight and still birth.    Last updated: 03-12-19",10,"uk"
"47713","As schools break up for the holidays, parents in East Sussex have been warned to make sure their children’s vaccinations are up to date following outbreaks of measles in Europe.  Cases in the UK have also rocketed this year, as figures show parents are still not taking hundreds of young children for their measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccines.  It means the area is falling below the vaccination level the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) says is required to prevent outbreaks of measles.  The most recent figures show that, in the 2016-17 financial year, 89 per cent of children in East Sussex turning five had received the recommended two MMR jabs.  It means that an estimated 670 five-year-olds in the area had not been vaccinated.  The ECDC warns that areas in which fewer than 95 per cent of the population are vaccinated are at a heightened risk of a measles outbreak.  But only four countries in the EU have hit this target, with the UK among those falling short.  Across the South East, just 86 per cent of children had received both MMR jabs by the age of five in 2016-17.  In the UK, 757 cases of measles have been reported so far this year – nearly triple the 274 cases reported in the whole of 2017.  The Royal College of Nursing (RCN) has also advised teenagers who missed their jabs in the late 1990s to ensure they are up to date before travelling.  Many missed the course of vaccination following discredited scare stories over links between the vaccine and developing autism.  While local figures are not available, NHS numbers show that by 2005-06, over a quarter of five-year-olds in England were not receiving both MMR jabs.  Following significant outbreaks in France, Italy, Greece and Romania, the RCN’s Helen Donovan said the threat posed by measles should not be underestimated.  She said: “Measles is extremely infectious, especially where large crowds of people gather, such as at festivals or in towns.  “Thanks to vaccination it has become increasingly rare in the UK, but recent increases in infection rates show we can’t be complacent.”  Ms Donovan also urged people to ensure their vaccinations are up to date, by contacting their GP.  She added: “The MMR vaccine is free. Getting immunised is quick and simple – an appointment with your practice nurse will only take a few minutes.”  In the UK, babies are usually given the first MMR jab within a month of their first birthday, as part of their routine vaccination schedule. The second is usually given after they turn three.

"47913","Measles is a resurgent public health risk in the UK, as people are rejecting vaccines over a perceived connection to autism. A study conducted submitted to British medical journal the Lancet by now disgraced doctor Andrew Wakefield in 1998 produced a false link between the MMR vaccine and the developmental disorder. More than 20 years later anti-vaccine sentiment is strong, even with studies disproving the link.  What are the symptoms of measles? - Runny or blocked nose - Sneezing - Watery eyes - Swollen eyelids - Sore, red eyes and light sensitivity - High temperature which can rise to 40C - Small grey-white spots in the mouth - Aches and pains - Coughing - Loss of appetite - Tiredness, lethargy and lack of energy  Measles symptoms: Can you get measles if you’ve been vaccinated?  Can you get measles if you’ve been vaccinated? The MMR sees an attenuated (weakened) live virus injected into the body. The measles vaccine is used to bolster the immune system against disease, preparing it for a possible infection. The weak nature of the virus means the body is easily able to fight it off, which prepares it for a possible full dose. READ MORE: Measles UK cases blamed for US anti-vaccination  The MMR vaccine can prepare the immune system for a possible infection  If a full infection should arise, the immune system can fight off the full virus without maximum immune response (which causes symptoms). Three in 100 people will still get measles because of the virus. Experts aren’t quite sure why, and it could be because the immune system didn’t have the desired response to the virus. But because of the body’s training with the MMR, fully vaccinated people who get the virus will have a milder illness.

"48013","Public Health England (PHE) is urging all parents to get their children immunised against measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) as per the schedule, or get the vaccination now if they missed it at the scheduled time. PHE has made the call following 231 confirmed cases of measles reported in the first quarter of 2019. Additionally, there were 795 confirmed cases of mumps in the quarter. There were no new cases of rubella.  Measles being a highly infectious disease, puts anyone who has not received two doses of MMR vaccine at risk, especially unvaccinated individuals travelling to countries currently experiencing an epidemic of measles. It is believed that the recent cases of measles have occurred in the under-vaccinated communities, particularly those linked to countries with ongoing outbreaks.  While a single dose of the MMR vaccine confers a 90-95 per cent protection, the second dose brings it up to 99 per cent. Since the coverage of the second dose for children aged five years is 87.4 per cent, PHE is strongly emphasising full vaccination with two doses.  Seema Kennedy, Public Health Minister, said: ""Over 30 years ago we introduced the MMR vaccine, and since then our world-leading vaccination programme is estimated to have prevented 1.8 million painful and potentially fatal cases of measles. The vaccine was an enormous catapult for improving the health of children and young people and still is.""",10,"uk"
"49413","If the MMR vaccine is not suitable for you , a treatment called human normal immunoglobulin (HNIG) can be used if you're at immediate risk of catching measles.  You can avoid catching measles by having the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine .  MMR vaccine  Routine vaccination  The MMR vaccine is given as part of the routine NHS childhood vaccination programme.  One dose is usually given to a child when they're 12 to 13 months old. A second dose is given at 3 years and 4 months.  Contact a GP if you're uncertain about whether your child's vaccinations are up-to-date.  You or your child can be vaccinated at any point if you have not been fully vaccinated before.  If you're not sure whether you were vaccinated in the past, having the vaccine again will not cause any harm.  Special circumstances  A dose of the MMR vaccine can also be given to anyone over 6 months of age if they're at immediate risk of catching measles.  For example, this could be if:  there's an outbreak of measles in your local area  you have been in close contact with someone who has measles  you're planning on travelling to an area where the infection is widespread  Children who have the vaccine before their first birthday should still have the 2 routine doses at around 13 months of age and 3 years and 4 months.",10,"uk"

"51614","Parents are being urged to get their children vaccinated for measles following a number of outbreaks across the country, including Cheshire and Merseyside.  There are 29 confirmed cases in Cheshire and Liverpool currently, with more cases in the West Midlands, West Yorkshire and the South.  The number of cases in Cheshire has risen since the last count before Christmas.  Although there are no reported cases in Cheshire East, the council's public health service is urging parents to ensure that children and young people receive two doses of the MMR vaccine, if they have not already been immunised. The vaccine is available to all adults and children who are not up to date. Anyone who is not sure should check with their GP.  Dr Matt Tyrer, health protection lead at Cheshire East Council, said: ""I would strongly recommend that anyone who has not yet had two doses of MMR makes an appointment with their GP so that they can be fully protected against measles.  ""I would also appeal to any parents whose children have not yet had the MMR vaccine to make arrangements with their GP to get them protected as soon as possible.  ""Vaccination not only protects your child but also helps stop measles spreading more widely, including to children who are too young to have the vaccination or adults who may be vulnerable.  ""MMR is a safe vaccine and is very effective at protecting against measles.""  Measles spreads from person to person very easily and can be a serious illness, which can lead to long-term problems for some people. Although it can lead to cold-like symptoms – such as a runny nose or sore throat – it can also cause a high fever with sore eyes and white spots inside the mouth.  A few days later it can cause a blotchy red/brown rash and, for some people, it can develop into serious complications such as severe lung and brain infections.  Councillor Liz Wardlaw, Cheshire East Council cabinet member for health, said: ""With outbreaks of measles in other parts of Cheshire and Merseyside, we wish to send out the message to all families to make sure they are protected.  ""Measles is an extremely serious, highly infectious viral infection with very unpleasant complications. It can spread through communities, where people have not been vaccinated, very quickly and we are strongly recommending that residents who have not been vaccinated make sure that they do so and get their children protected.  ""But we do not wish to cause panic as many people will have been vaccinated when infants.""  It is customary for children to have received both MMR doses before the age of three years and four months.

Anyone violating the new policy will be liable to pay a fine of $500 (L378) and face up to six months in prison, Reuters reported.  'This is a public health crisis'  Schools, restaurants and shopping malls are among the places cordoned off for anyone under 18 who has not been vaccinated.  “We will not sit idly by while children in our community are at risk,” County Executive Ed Day said in a statement. “This is a public health crisis, and it is time to sound the alarm.”  A free measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccination clinic will be held by the county's Department of Health on Wednesday.  Vaccination rates dropping  The states of Washington, California, Texas and Illinois have also experienced outbreaks of the disease.  Vaccination rates have dropped steadily in the US, which has been blamed on misleading claims around vaccines, and ideological or religious reasons.  As of 21 March, there are 314 confirmed measles cases in the United States in 2019, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.  For those aged 18 and under, Rockland County said the ban would be in place for 30 days or until the unvaccinated children get the MMR shot.  Those found to be in violation of the new policy will be referred to the Rockland County District Attorney's Office.  153 confirmed cases  The US initially declared itself measles free in 2000 (photo: GEOFF CADDICK/AFP/Getty Images)  The World Health Organization said vaccine hesitation is one of the 10 biggest threats to global health this year.  Measles was declared eliminated in the United States in 2000, but a handful of outbreaks have spread in recent years.  Rockland's outbreak has been linked to an anti-vaccination trend within the ultra-Orthodox Jewish communities in the county, many of which have close ties to Brooklyn areas where infections have been present, The New York Times reported.  Rockland County has a population of more than 300,000 - it has had 153 confirmed cases of measles since October.  What is measles and the MMR vaccine?  According to the NHS, measles is a highly infectious viral illness that for some can be life-threatening. The MMR vaccine is regarded as ""highly effective"" and has generally led to measles being uncommon in the UK.  In Rockland, only 72.9 per cent of people in the county between the ages of 1 and 18 are vaccinated, Mr Day said. The World Health Organisation recommends 95 per cent of people are vaccinated to ensure ""herd immunity"".  The MMR vaccine is given in two doses. In the UK, this is from around 13 months old, and a second dose is given at 3 years and 4 months.  'Links' to autism  Fears around the MMR and autism were popularised by discredited former doctor Andrew Wakefield, who in 1998 published a study claiming to have found a link between the vaccine and the condition.  Wakefield’s findings have since been scientifically proven as false and in 2010 he was struck off the medical register for serious professional misconduct, however ongoing belief in his work have been one of the ongoing reasons behind anti-vaccination.",10,"uk"

Globally, the report shows, 169 million children were not given a first dose of measles vaccine between 2010 and 2017.  Prof Beate Kampmann, at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, described the figures as a “wake-up call.”  She said: “One thing is certain though: A single person with measles will be able to infect 90 other people who are not immune.  Measles is a highly infectious viral illness that can be very unpleasant and can lead to serious and potentially life-threatening complications in some people. These include infections of the lungs (pneumonia) and brain (encephalitis).

Measles symptoms:  cold-like symptoms – runny nose, sneezing  signs the body is fighting infection – high fever, tiredness, muscle aches  red, watery eyes (conjunctivitis)  greyish spots in the mouth  red, raised spots that may merge together becoming blotchy, starting around the hairline two to four days after the initial symptoms, then spreading down over the head, neck and rest of the body  The NHS recommends all children receive the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine. This is given in 2 doses as part of the NHS childhood vaccination programme.  The first dose is given when your child is around 13 months old, and a second dose is given at 3 years and 4 months.  Public Health England (PHE) said there had been 47 cases across Greater Manchester in 2019, compared to only three cases in 2018 and seven in 2017.  Chief Executive of NHS England, Simon Stevens has warned that measles cases had almost quadrupled in England in just one year and urged families to get the vaccine. He said people rejecting vaccines was a “growing public health time bomb”.  Henrietta Fore, executive director at Unicef, said: “The measles virus will always find unvaccinated children and the only way to prevent that is through vaccination.”  Loveness Chihoyi, Trainee Legal Executive in the Medical Negligence team at Ashtons Legal, comments:  ‘The figures are shocking and it is imperative that we protect children and communities against this preventable contagious disease. The consequences of failing to adhere to medical advice can lead to potentially very serious implications not only for the unvaccinated children but the entire community.

By Paul Gallagher Thursday, 31st October 2019, 6:00 pm Updated Thursday, 31st October 2019, 6:01 pm  Measles cases are on the rise again in the UK with the country's vaccination uptake dropping below the required level of 95 per cent of the population. (Photo: JULIAN STRATENSCHULTE/DPA/AFP via Getty Images)  Measles can cause such long-term damage to the immune system that it effectively returns it to a baby-like state and leaves people vulnerable to other infections, according to new research.  Scientists at the Wellcome Sanger Institute and University of Amsterdam found the measles virus deletes part of the immune system's memory, removing previous immunity to other infections in both humans and ferrets. The study explains why children often catch other infectious diseases after measles.  The research, published in Science Immunology, has great implications for public health as falling vaccination rates in the UK are resulting in rising cases of measles. This in turn could cause an increase in cases of other dangerous infections such as flu, diphtheria or tuberculosis, even in people who were previously immune.

Dr Velislava Petrova, lead author from the Wellcome Sanger Institute and Cambridge University, said: ""This study is a direct demonstration in humans of 'immunological amnesia', where the immune system forgets how to respond to infections encountered before. We show that measles directly causes the loss of protection to other infectious diseases.""  In the study blood samples were taken from a group of unvaccinated healthy people in the Netherlands who were followed up from repeat sampling after a measles outbreak in 2013. The researchers sequenced antibody genes from 26 children both before and 40-50 days after their measles infection.  (Photo: AFP/Getty)  Specific immune memory cells that had been built up against other diseases, and were present before the measles virus infection, had disappeared from the children's blood, scientists found.  Professor Colin Russell, senior author from the University of Amsterdam, said: ""For the first time we see that measles resets the immune system and it becomes more baby-like, limiting how well it can respond to new infections. In some children the effect is so strong it is similar to being given powerful immunosuppressive drugs.""  In 2017 measles had been completely eliminated from the UK but cases are rising again, with the country's vaccination uptake dropping below the required level of 95 per cent of the population. This led to the UK losing its World Health Organisation (WHO) measles elimination status in August.  Liam Sollis, head of policy at Unicef UK, said: “This research reinforces what we already know – that children are especially vulnerable to disease – but now with the added concern that if a child contracts measles it also increases the risk of them contracting other diseases.",10,"uk"

In fact, by 2016, Portugal) received a request from the World Health Organization (WHO), a qualification that the rule regulated in the country, as being free of measles, because one of the very few cases reported in the last few years had been borrowed from other countries. The vaccination is free of charge to the children, in 1974, and, above all, with the introduction of a second dose of the vaccine, in 1990, the measles, it turned out to be almost a disease to be forgotten, or invisible, in the course of the year. However, between 1987 and 1989, had been reported in Portugal and 12 million cases, accounting for 30 fatalities because of the coverage vaccine achieved have not been sufficient to stop the epidemic, according to official figures. At the level of the top 50 countries of the who european region considered by the WHO, and the measles, has caused 35 deaths in just the past year, including the one registered in the Uk. In total, there were about 20 thousand of those infected. The Directorate-general of Health, pointed out that the virus of measles is transmitted by direct contact with infectious droplets, or by the spread in the air when the infected person coughs or sneezes. Patients are considered infectious from four days before and up to four days after the onset of the rash. The symptoms of the measles usually appear 10 to 12 days after a person is infected and usually begin with a fever, and smallpox rash progresses from the head to the trunk and lower extremities), cough, conjunctivitis and a runny nose. There is a measles vaccine in the National Programme of Immunisation, which must also be administered at 12 months of age and five years of age. The health professional should have two doses of the vaccine, irrespective of their age. Source: Reuters-Photo: All Rights Reserved",10,"portugal"

Increased the deaths due to measles in Europe, 72 in 2018 from 42 in 2017. Measles is a highly contagious viral disease which sometimes can lead to serious complications (hearing loss, brain damage, etc.), even fatal. Overall, immunization rates show improvement in Europe, as well as the percentage of children who receive the first dose of the vaccine reached an average of 95%, while the second dose received by 90%. On the other hand, however, growing pockets of resistance to vaccination, especially in some countries where more and more parents refuse to vaccinate their children, usually for fear of the alleged side effects, despite scientific assurances that vaccines are safe and effective.

Taking into account the population, the Ukraine also had the highest proportion of cases of measles with 1.209 incidents per one million inhabitants, an increase by 10 times compared with 2017. The rise is attributed mainly to the fact that in the last few years, because of the conflict with Russia, it decreased dramatically to only 31% in the rate of vaccination, one of the lowest in the world, although more recently it recovered again to around 90%. The WHO hopes that the increase of cases in Europe will prove to be transient, although the current vaccination coverage does not seem high enough, in order to prevent the circulation of the virus in several countries. ""The picture for 2018 makes it clear that the current rate of progress, in terms of increased rates of immunisation, will be insufficient to stop the transmission of measles.

The possibility of further spread of measles in our country is very real, he adds in an interview to the Athens/Macedonian News Agency. The measles, in measurable rates can cause otitis, pneumonia, encephalitis and other complications, which sometimes can have very serious or fatal evolution. Also, apart from the possibility of serious complications, has the peculiarity of the great contagion, explains mr. Panagiotopoulos. The main measures taken by the CDC and other relevant agencies, to stem the upward trend of cases, is the broad public awareness of the need for immediate vaccination of children, adolescents and adults who have not been vaccinated with the required doses, as well as the implementation of measures to vaccination. Except for children and adolescents, should be vaccinated and adults who were born after 1970 and have not had the measles. They should check the cards and if you don't have 2 doses of vaccine (in the form of a monovalent measles vaccine or a mixed vaccine MMR) will need to complete the doses they need. ""The most effective way to prevent measles is vaccination with the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR vaccine). Parents need to know that it is a very safe vaccine, as has been the experience of the vaccination of several million children worldwide for more than 4 decades.

This phenomenon has contributed significantly to the spread of measles in many european countries and likely this is to happen in Greece if the outbreaks spread further. For this . Mr. Panagiotopoulos explains that the current epidemic outbreak of measles in Greece is associated with the expansion in many european countries, with which we have multiple channels of communication, and is not a consequence of the wave of refugees and immigrants. The data show that from the first 100 incidents were recorded, 90 relate to Greek citizens. Points out that most people –insured and uninsured - have free access to the vaccines of the National Vaccination Programme. However, there are still vulnerable groups, with a low level of vaccination coverage. The CDC, finally, systematically monitor the evolution of the epidemiological situation in Greece and internationally, evaluates the data and may -depending on the course of things - to recommend additional measures.

Here tells the specialeansvarlige the chief physician of the department, Nina Friis-Moller, what you need to be aware of, if you think you are infected and how they are trying to ensure that the infection does not spread further. What do you do to limit the infection? - It is a notifiable disease so all cases will be reviewed with the same, we get the diagnosis, so you can limit that it should the infection further. And what we do for hospitalized patients, is that they become isolated. It is not everyone with measles, as it is necessary to interpolate. It is fatallet, where it is necessary. If you have measles, and one, incidentally, is not affected, so you can be at home and should be examined by the doctor at home, where you can get a diagnosis.

But maslingevaccination is a part of the Danish vaccination, and the vaccination provides a very good protection. It is the most important thing you can do to prevent. One can make sure to follow the vaccination programme for the children. How infects the? - It is transmitted by drabesmitte. In the beginning of the maslingesygdommen do you get symptoms of the common cold, and you can have some floats from the nose and from the eyes. It is the droplets from the respiratory tract that can infect. Also, read the Maslingeudbrud spreads on the island of Zealand, have to have the infected persons hospitalized with you, is it? - They have it like a cold or flu-like symptoms. They have not been difficult sick, but have had it here, the characteristic rash, which has given the suspicion of measles.

They have not been difficult sick, but have had it here, the characteristic rash Nina Friis-Moller, specialeansvarlig doctor How to deal with the disease? - It is really just a viral infection, which should go over by itself. One can give symptom control, for example panodil in order to reduce the fever, and vasketilskud, if you do not get enough to drink. Usually it's younger people that get the outbreaks that we are seeing at the moment. Probably explained by the fact that there are a few who have not been vaccinated. It is them, as we now see, who get the disease. As a rule, they drink themselves, so it is rare, it becomes necessary to give liquid in the drop. - There is also the possibility, if you have been in contact with someone with measles and you do not believe that you are vaccinated, you can get the vaccination. It should get quite fast, after one has been exposed to infection. You can also get treatment with some antibodies, if you are in a special group. What we assess in each individual case. Also, read the Measles in an outbreak: What you need to keep an eye on It is only men, who are suffering in this place. Is there a specific group that is particularly prone to it here? - It is particularly quite small children, which have not yet been vaccinated. When one is completely an infant is protected by maternal antibodies, but from about half a year, then one is no longer protected. Then you have a period of time, until you get the vaccine. So from a half year and up to 15 months are at risk. It is many years ago, there have been measles in Denmark, but it is something that, unfortunately, is increasing in many places in Europe, Nina Friis-Moller, specialeansvarlig physician - Otherwise, it is the younger people who, for one reason or another have not received the vaccination in their childhood. The reason why we are seeing some cases now, is probably a spread from the large outbreak in Europe. Partly in Southern europe, in Italy and in Eastern europe, especially in Romania, there have been very many cases. In Denmark, there have been few cases last year, and now we see further here is a small outbreak here with a total of three within ten days in the Region of Zealand. How often you see how some outbreak here? - It was many years ago, there have been measles in Denmark, but it is something that, unfortunately, is increasing in many places in Europe.

So you should not up in a waiting room at his doctor, because it is very contagious, and it is previously described that can spread it, also in a waiting room.

"2933"," Measles: The virus resets the immune system... The sick are almost as vulnerable as a new-born, which makes vaccination indispendable As the Aids virus, but the sooner, the measles virus attacks the immune system, according to a study published in Science Thursday. The sick are almost as vulnerable to the pathogen as a new-born, reinforcing the usefulness of the vaccination. Public health professionals had previously observed that the vaccination campaigns against measles were lower infant mortality total. But the researchers were not sure of the biological mechanisms. A team of Harvard researchers, of the medical Institute Howard Hughes and the Erasmus university in the netherlands analyzed the blood of 77 Dutch infants infected with measles during the epidemic that struck the country in 2013. The researchers used a tool developed in the United States and it is called VirScan, which identifies all of the virus that has infected previously a person, and that the immune system remembers : HIV, flu, herpes, and hundreds of other viruses. When the body encounters a virus, it creates antibodies that remain and protect from infections in the future : it is the ""memory"" immune. The analyses showed that the measles eliminated between 11 and 73 % of protective antibodies in children. Significant risks to return to a high level of antibodies and rebuild their defenses, ""they need to be reinfected by pathogens, such as new-born babies, which take a lot of risks in the first years of their life,"" says epidemiologist Michael Mina, of Harvard, co-author of the study. Unlike HIV, the immune defenses are weakened much more quickly, and they are also rebuilding more quickly, says the researcher. The study shows that the danger of measles exceeds the only risk related to infection. ""The virus is far more deleterious than we thought, which makes the vaccine more valuable,"" says Stephen Elledge, a geneticist who has developed with colleagues a tool VirScan.

"2944","Resurgence of measles cases in Centre-Val de Loire-the measles virus is present and circulating in the Centre-Val de Loire. Notifiable disease by the health professionals, measles is a disease to be taken seriously. It is a viral infection that is highly contagious and potentially serious. A vaccine exists and can halt the epidemic. To protect yourself and others : priority vaccination ! The vast majority of people affected by the current outbreak of measles were not vaccinated. The immunization coverage in the Centre-Val de Loire is inadequate for dealing with this epidemic. There is an urgent need to check its vaccination (2 doses are needed to be protected), and to consult his physician in case of doubt. The vaccine is now mandatory in early infancy, at 12 and 18 months (2 doses), but can be caught at any age. Who is concerned ? In an epidemic, the regional Agency of health urges the population to verify the vaccination status. You are protected if you have already had measles or 2 doses of the MMR vaccine – measles-mumps-rubella (Priorix or MMR VaxPro). If you are not vaccinated and have not had the measles, If you have not received only 1 dose of vaccine, If you do not know or have a doubt (book of health lost, not remembering it...), Consult your doctor who will be able to vaccinate you ! What are the risks ? Measles is a disease to be taken seriously, particularly among infants and adults. It can lead to neurological complications or breathing that can have very serious consequences. There is a risk of preterm delivery in pregnant women non-immune. Why a resurgence ? Measles is highly contagious : a person can infect up to 20 other non-protected (for example, for the flu, a person may infect up to 3). At February 22, 2018, 26 cases have been identified in our region. (In France, 387 cases of measles between November 1, 2017 February 13, 2018). However, the vaccination coverage of measles in Centre-Val de Loire is insufficient to make a barrier to the virus. It varies between 73 and 78 % when the world health Organization (WHO) recommends 95 % to eradicate the disease. The MMR vaccine is effective in more than 95 %. It is a vaccine that is reliable and safe. You should know that some frail people cannot be vaccinated (infants, immune-compromising conditions, pregnant women). To protect them, only one way : do not transmit the disease by protecting oneself. Vaccination is a citizen action ! To protect it is to protect others.",9,"france"

"2953","Five things to know about this disease characterized by eruption of red spots on the skin and that, before the arrival of the vaccines in the 1970s, was a dreaded killer of children (7 to 8 million deaths estimated by year in the world). Highly contagious disease, measles is caused by a virus that spreads very easily by direct contact or through the air. It is estimated that a patient can infect 15 to 20 other people. After a phase of incubation silent, the disease is characterized by a high fever, runny nose, cough, watery eyes... In a second time, will appear red spots, which give its name to the disease. Potentially severe Complications of measles is dangerous for the complications that it may cause. Most of the deaths are due to secondary infection of the lung severe type of pneumonia. Other possible complications are : the involvement of the nervous system (encephalitis) which can lead to serious consequences and even be life-threatening, involvement of the eyes (conjunctivitis, keratitis) which can lead to blindness, inflammation of the ears (ear infections) or dehydration associated with severe diarrhea. There is no specific antiviral treatment and the care of the patient endeavours to treat complications. Preventive Vaccination is The only effective way to protect against measles is vaccination a preventive. This vaccine has existed since 1968. In France, it has been included in the immunization schedule in 1983. It is generally available in the form of the combined vaccine MMR which also protects against mumps and rubella. While he was so far highly recommended, but not mandatory, the MMR vaccine became mandatory for all children born after January 1, 2018, with a dose at 12 months and a second between 16 and 18 months. Too low immunization coverage immunization coverage refers to the proportion of people in the general population, are effectively immunized against a disease. More this rate is high, the more difficult it is for an infection to spread. For measles, the coverage in France is 79 %. There should be a rate of 95 % for the collective protection against this highly contagious virus to be truly effective. Studies show that people born in the 80s are too weakly immunized against measles : it was a time where vaccination was gradually introduced, and where the virus was circulating less. Suddenly, many among this generation have never developed antibodies against the disease. Fear of a new outbreak After a decline between 2012 and 2016, the number of measles cases in France has started to rise again in November 2017. In the past few months, the movement has accelerated, raising fears of an epidemic, such as those observed in Europe in 2017, and in France from 2008 to 2012. The health authorities reported Wednesday, April 11, 1 527 cases since the beginning of the year, and 1 605 since 6 November, the date after which the disease has experienced a ""resurgence"" that has not been tackled since. The New-Aquitaine, the only region in an epidemic, is by far the most affected. In the world, the number of deaths due to measles has significantly decreased since the beginning of the years 2000 thanks to vaccination campaigns : the balance sheet WHO for 2016 made of 90 000 against 550 000 in 2000.

"2964","The u.s. health authorities worry that they have identified 1001 cases of measles since the beginning of the year 2019. ""This 1, 000th case of a vaccine-preventable disease such as measles is an eerie reminder of the importance of vaccination, said the secretary of Health and human Services, Alex Azar, in a press release. ""We can't repeat it enough : vaccines are a safe and very effective to prevent this disease and put an end to the current epidemic"". Aware of the distrust that persists vis-a-vis the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR), wrongfully accused in 1998 of being at the origin of the development of an autistic disorder, Alex Azar tries to reassure the Americans : ""the vaccine against measles is part of the medical products the most studied, and is safely administered to millions of children and adults each year."" While the United States could lose their status as countries that have ""eradicated"" measles (obtained in 2000) if the situation continues for another 4 months, the secretary of the us, has announced the launch of a broad national campaign ""to reinforce the message that vaccines are safe and effective way"" to protect them from the virus. In five u.s. States, health officials have threatened to deny flight people suspected to be affected by measles. New York in the face of resistance of the anti-vaccine New York city, where it is said the epidemic in September 2018, has identified a large number of cases. The city was even declared the state of public health emergency after an outbreak in the communities of the jewish ultra-orthodox of Brooklyn, reported in April the New York Times. The situation is such that at the beginning of April, mayor Bill de Blasio announced that the vaccination is now mandatory in some areas of the city in order to control the disease. All persons ""who may have been exposed to measles should be vaccinated, under the penalty of a scoop of a fine of 1000 dollars. Similarly, the child care for this community and the yeshivas, the talmudic schools, which accept children who are not vaccinated would be liable to prosecution and could face closure, while the State of New York granted up to the present exemptions for religious reasons. ""We are at the epicenter of a measles outbreak that is very, very worrying and which we need to deal with immediately. The measles vaccine works. It is safe, it is effective, it has proven itself,"" said Bill de Blasio. ""When you choose not to vaccinate your child, keep in mind that you also have this choice for people who gravitate around him,"" said Herminia Palacio, deputy mayor in charge of health and doctor. But 173 cases have yet been diagnosed in April and 60 in may. And in Europe ? From January 2018, Europe is also facing its largest outbreak of measles in 10 years : more than 41 000 children and adults have contracted the disease in recent months (37 died), is two times more than in the whole of the year 2017. In particular, because the vaccine coverage is not optimal. There is a minimum threshold of vaccination coverage in a population as a ""group protection"" works and protects those who cannot be vaccinated (newborns, immunosuppressed...). If the WHO is concerned, is that ""outbreaks prolonged are observed in all Regions, in particular in countries that had eliminated the disease or were on the verge of achieving it,"" said Dr Soumya Swaminathan, deputy Director-general in charge of programmes of the WHO. According to a report, cases have jumped by 300% in the world in early 2019. Measles is not a benign disease, measles is an infectious disease caused by a highly contagious virus that affected previously, especially young children from the age of 5-6 months. This is no longer the case : a third of the reported cases concerning persons over the age of 15. A sick person can contaminate up to 20. Measles is 10 times more contagious than the flu. It spreads very easily from person to person through the air when coughing, sneezing, or by contact with contaminated objects (toys, handkerchiefs...). Often mistakenly regarded as benign, ""measles is not a childhood disease, it also applies to teenagers and young adults and may cause serious complications (pneumonia, encephalitis,...), and sometimes hospitalization and even death, recently explained the Regional Agency of Health of Occitania.

"3376","An upsurge in measles is worrisome. In a press release, published on Thursday, August 29, 2019, The World Health Organization (WHO) announced a ""loss of ground"" on the front of the elimination of the disease in Europe, with an increase in the number of cases. Thus, in 2019, nearly 90 000 cases have already been reported during the first six months of the year, a number higher than recorded for the whole of the previous year (84 462 cases). Worse, Albania, Greece, the United Kingdom and the Czech republic have lost their status as countries that have eliminated measles. ""The resumption of the transmission of measles is a serious problem. If we are unable to establish and maintain high vaccination coverage in every community, children and adults will experience unnecessary pain and suffering, and some will be doomed to a tragic death,"" warns dr. Günter Pfaff, chair of the Commission on european regional verification of elimination of measles and rubella (CRV). And when you know that a person infected with measles can infect up to 20 others, there is nothing to be afraid of. Who can catch the virus ? In addition to the children, pregnant women not vaccinated have a high risk of contracting the disease, with a risk of abnormalities to the foetus in utero death of the fetus measles and congenital. Similarly, individuals whose immune defenses are weakened, those who have never been vaccinated or have never contracted the disease can be affected. The video of the day : How to spread measles ? It is due to a virus that is transmitted either by direct contact (from hand to hand or hand to contaminated object) or by air (coughing, sneezing, talking to them). It infects then the respiratory tract and spreads throughout the body. The virus is active and contagious in the air or on infected surfaces for up to 2 hours. The carriers of the virus can transmit it during the 4 days preceding the onset of the rash and 4 days after. Measles : the symptoms that should alert In a first time, the disease is manifested by a general tax allowance and a high fever for about ten days after exposure to the virus and persists between 4 and 7 days. Runny nose, cough, red eyes and swollen, watery eyes, photophobia (discomfort at the sight of the light) whitish spots on the inner cheeks appear then. A rash of small red spots slightly raised, make their appearance a few days later behind the ears, the forehead, the face, the neck, and the top of the body before spreading to the hands and feet for 5 to 6 days. When the disease worsens to serious complications, common in adults over twenty years of age, can develop and may require hospitalization : cécités, encephalitis which is brain swelling, diarrhea which can trigger dehydration, ear infections, respiratory infections such as pneumonia, impairment of the liver and kidneys, otitis, laryngitis. In the most extreme cases, measles can even lead to death. Treatment against the measles Unfortunately, there is no specific antiviral treatment for measles. The symptoms only such as fever and infections of the respiratory tract or can be treated. Can it be prevented ? The only way of effective prevention remains vaccination. It is highly recommended to people of the entourage of the patient to be rapidly vaccinated (if they ever were) to be protected. The MMR vaccine will protect not only against measles but also against mumps and rubella. At 18 years of age, the vaccine is reimbursed at 65 %. All people born since 1980 should, normally, have been vaccinated. If this is not the case, a catch-up is possible (and recommended). Finally, this disease must be reported to the Regional Agency of Health by the physician who diagnosis. Namely : people who recover from measles are immune for life.",9,"france"

"4179","The measles virus destroyed, among other things, the memory cells of the immune system and the vaccine-and infection-acquired immunity. To the specific body's protection against infection is back on the Stand in front of the measles, can years pass. Background infection with measles virus (MeV) induces a strong response of the immune system and generates life-long immunity. Paradoxically, the measles, but also with a profound and prolonged immune suppression associated. In a study from the United Kingdom, 10-15% of children still showed five years after a measles infection, signs of immune suppression in the Form of an increased susceptibility to infection [1]. Attack on the immune system MeV infected, among other things, lymphocytes, and leads to Lymphopenia. The lymphocyte numbers in the blood return to normal four weeks after the measles infection again. It could be shown, however, that it comes as a result of the measles to a Depletion of certain subpopulations of memory B cells, whereas the number of immature B cells in the transitional stage increases. This observation substantiated the suspicion of a Reset of the immunological memory, i.e. a far-reaching cancellation of the acquired immunity by measles infection and a reset of the immune system to a largely naive state. Function of memory B cells bound to The immunological memory of B cells is based on cell clones are formed, after the specific pathogen antigen to the variable Region of the B-cell receptor (B cell receptor [BCR]), a suitable B-lymphocytes. Mutations during the Expansion of the ""Gedächtnisklons"" modify the variable Region and can increase the affinity to the Pathogen antigens. The degree of diversity of the BCR Gene as a reflection of the Repertoire of B-cell memory. A study showed that after a measles infection, the genetic diversity of the BCR Gene, and thus the performance width of the acquired immunity are strongly reduced [2]. Objectives of the study the aim of the study was to find out whether the genetic BCR-diversity, and thus the memory B cell Repertoire can declare before and after a measles infection, the long-lasting immunosuppression after measles infection. Methods blood samples from children of a religious community of Orthodox Protestants in the Netherlands that refuses vaccinations for religious reasons, were Investigated. The blood samples of 26 children before and after a measles infection removed. As a control group, the blood served samples of three children who remained seronegative for measles. In addition, blood samples from seven vaccinated adults were examined. The sequencing of the genes for the Isotypes of the variable regions of the BCR were Isotypes or variation profiles and the mutation frequency in the various cohorts analysed. Ferret model in Parallel explored, scientists at the Paul-Ehrlich-Institute in ferrets, the effect of the with the measles virus engverwandte distemper virus (canine distemper virus [CDV]) on the immune memory. The animals were first vaccinated against Influenza and their antibody status determined. Thereafter, they were infected with CDV, and the antibody titer against Influenza is determined again. In a last step, the animals were infected after surviving the CDV-infection and non-infected animals with Influenza. Results After measles infection was a shift to immunologically immature B-cells. In addition, a significant increase in the mutation frequency could be observed. The cells showed after the measles infection have significantly changed the Isotypes(Variations)-profile. With a measles infected individuals, the genetic diversity had decreased the immune cells. In the case of persons without measles infection or vaccinated individuals, the genetic composition and diversity of the B-memory cells, however, stable. Reduction of the antibody repertoire, The reduced genetic diversity has also led to a significant reduction in the antibody repertoire: Depending on the case, 11-73% of the antibodies are lost, and the measles infection is present. It was confirmed this result by the ferret model. The one with the distemper virus-infected animals lost the majority of antibody against Influenza. They had a more severe disease course than previously with CDV-infected animals. Conclusion Professor Klaus Cichutek, President of the Paul-Ehrlich-Institute, draws the following conclusion from the study results: ""The measles vaccination is the only protection against measles virus is important, but also protects against the Occurrence of, or in severe cases of other infectious diseases. The vaccination protects the immune memory, which can be compromised in measles infections is difficult."" [3]",9,"germany"

The Minister and party friend of Spahn, Hermann Gröhe slowed. At the end there were a few minor obligations via prevention act. Parents now have to prove before you send children to daycare or Kindergarten, a vaccination advice. Not vaccinated can be briefly from the day-care centre visit excluded if the health Department deems necessary. Particularly annoying Impfmuffel-parents threatened with fines of up to 2500 euros. The health Ministry wants to wait and see Now, four years later, the question after a measles vaccination back in the political space. He was with the Minister of health in an interview, confirmed Lauterbach to the daily mirror. And while the SPD politician persists in his claim at that time, want to wait for the Spahn-run Ministry. You have to see whether the measures of the 2015 fruit be deceiving, said a spokeswoman for the newspaper. On the occasion of the new debate massive warnings of international organizations are on an alarming global increase in Measles. World's 98 countries had registered in the past year, a stronger presence of this dangerous virus infection than in the previous year, according to a recent report by the UN children's Agency, Unicef. Thus, in the past, progress against this often deadly disease would be undone. The highest increase in the Ukraine, the Philippines and Brazil. 110.000 measles deaths worldwide in the last year Before the world health organization had declared the refusal of vaccination to become one of the ten largest global health risks – and as a proof the return of the measles outbreak called. Been around the world by 2017, 30 percent more people were affected than in the previous year. And in the year 2018 229.000 cases of infectious disease were reported. 110,000 people had died, most of them children under five years of age. The renewed call for mandatory vaccination but it is also related to the frustration that in Germany there is so little moved. To be able to the highly dangerous viral disease finally to defeat, had to be at least 95 percent of the population is vaccinated against measles. In fact, there are in this country, in the meantime, though almost 93 percent of all school beginners, but still less than, 60 percent of 18 - to 44-Year-old. The Problem is mainly young adults that were diagnosed after the start of vaccinations in the year 1973 are from an experts point of view, but at the same time were not Vaccinated would be. In addition, many children were vaccinated too late. 543 cases in Germany - not more than 80 the goal would be to follow the WHO-high statement that a measles case should come to a Million inhabitants, would be the Germany-wide in the year 80 of the cases, says the spokeswoman for the Robert Koch Institute (RKI), Sabine Glasmacher. 2018 you had come on 543 cases. 929 there were the year before. And as the record holder since the introduction of the reporting obligation, the years are cases in 2015, with 2465 and 2013 1768 Measles. The measures of the prevention law had been ""a step in the right direction,"" says Lauterbach. They would be of but little. It is worrying that you get the Problem of recurrent measles outbreaks in the handle. ""A vaccination would be important,"" the expert said. To enforce it, he could imagine sanctions. Lauterbach calls on chambers of Physicians, and the Green at the same time Lauterbach went to the doctors chambers, opposite us is a unique combination in the own rows of massive perform. Who ignorance with medical authority to external scientific vaccination, should be sanctioned legally, he demanded. And also the Green should not ""ducking"". Since the clientele of this party, particularly many opponents would expect it from their politicians, clearer announcements. ""The commitment of the Greens for vaccinations is much too weak,"" says Lauterbach. Green-expert Kordula Schulz-Asche, rejected this. Your party defend against a mandatory vaccination, have to do with it, that the right to self-determination of citizens higher value when you eat, she told the daily mirror. The recommendations of the RKI are but ""for people to understand, which the pharmaceutical industry mistrust"". And the social solidarity it areas also, to get vaccinated. RKI-President: Outreach Impfangebote would be helpful That the left-to-many, is mainly due to two things, says the Green party politician. There is a lack of good, target-group-oriented advice. And Vaccinate the whole family at the doctor is many to elaborate. Could help with this outreach offers of the public health service in kindergartens, schools and companies. Or a way to let you in pharmacies to vaccinate. Also, the President of the Robert Koch Institute holds a little bit of a vaccination against measles. For one, you can't reach this, the main problem group of unvaccinated adult, argued Lothar Wieler already before one and a half years in the ""Ärzte-Zeitung"". On the other, in this case to skeptics on the head. Measles outbreaks be prevent only with more commitment. This includes more resources for the health services module. Majority of the citizens for vaccination Among the citizens, there is a clear majority in favour of a General vaccination.

Kujundzic also drew attention to the fact that, if the vaccination coverage rate of 90 percent is reduced, there might be an epidemic risk. ""I hope that the parents in the neighboring country's example, where the measles fatalities were taking, they understand that they can't play their own children's health"" - it's underlined.

"5234","The HSE have issued a public warning after four more cases of measles are reported in Dublin.  They have been notified of four more cases of measles in two adults and two children in Dublin, bringing the number up to six confirmed cases.  Two cases were notified last month involving an adult and a child in Dublin who had recently been to mainland Europe.  The Health Service Executive said the two adults and two children are likely to have developed measles from contact with one of the two earlier cases at hospitals in Dublin.  There was an alert issued on July 20 in relation to the two other cases.  Advertisement  Dr Helena Murray, Specialist in Public Health Medicine, said: “Measles can be a serious illness and is highly infectious. The best protection is to be fully vaccinated with two doses of MMR (Measles, Mumps, and Rubella) vaccine.”  People at increased risk of getting measles are those who are not fully vaccinated with two doses of MMR vaccine or who have not had measles in the past.  Measles is highly contagious and is spread easily. The time between exposure to measles and developing the rash is usually 14 days (range 7-21 days). People are infectious from four days before the rash starts until four days after.  If you think you may have measles, stay at home and phone your GP for advice.  Measles symptoms include:  • High fever  • Cough • Runny nose  Advertisement  • Red eyes • Red rash that starts on head and spread down the body- this normally starts a few days after onset of illness.

"5236","Strict visitor restrictions are in place at University Hospital Limerick in light of the continuing outbreak of measles in the Limerick City area.  Restrictions had already been in place since late December following an increase in seasonal influenza.  However, the restrictions will remain enforced as a precaution in view of the ongoing outbreak of measles in the Limerick City area.  There are currently a small number of patients with measles in isolation at UHL and the hospital is taking all necessary precautions to contain the illness. UL Hospitals Group is working closely with public health and community colleagues on the Outbreak Control Team set up to manage this outbreak.  Until further notice, it is necessary to restrict visitors to one person per patient only and to remind members of the public that visiting hours are from 2pm to 4pm and from 6pm to 9pm only and are to be strictly adhered to. This applies to adult and paediatric patients alike and parents visiting children are advised not to bring siblings on visits.  It is imperative that persons with symptoms of measles do not come to the Emergency Department at UHL seeking a diagnosis unless they are very unwell. They should in the first distance contact their GP (ideally by telephone) and arrangements can be made to have symptomatic cases swabbed in their own home by public health staff. The clinical diagnosis will generally be made by the GP.  If attendance at ED is unavoidable due to pneumonia or any other serious sequelae of measles, it is imperative that such patients let staff at ED reception know immediately of any symptoms of measles. If patients have come into contact with relatives/neighbours with measles or suspected measles, they should let staff know as soon as possible so that they can be appropriately managed and other patients protected.  Four cases of Measles have been confirmed in Limerick City since January 3. This number of cases constitutes an outbreak of the disease in the Limerick City. An “Outbreak Control Team” made up of representatives from the HSE are involved in managing the outbreak in an effort to prevent further spread.",9,"ireland"
"5238","The HSE has issued a warning as two cases of the measles have been confirmed in North County Dublin.  They have yet to locate the source of the measles.  It is understood that the outbreak control team are currently investigating the cases. Their aim is to prevent anyone else from contracting the illness.  Anyone who encountered the two people who have the measles have been contacted.  The Department of Public Health and the Health Service Executive have asked the public to be wary of the symptoms.  They have urged the public to stay at home, and not to go to school or work if they are showing any signs of the measles.  The symptoms include a runny nose, swollen eyelids, sneezing, sensitivity to light, watery eyes and red eyes. People who contract the measles will also suffer from a mild to severe temperature, which can potentially reach over 40.6°C.  Other symptoms include a red-brown spotty rash, weak appetite, dry cough, fatigue, irritability, and general aches and pains.  These symptoms tend to show up ten days after you’ve been infected.  The measles is a highly contagious infection which spreads extremely quickly. The HSE states, “Someone with measles is infectious for two to four days before the rash appears and for about five days after it appears.”  Anyone who has not had the illness before is at risk of being infected.  If you have suffered from the measles before, the chances of reinfection are slim. However, the HSE states that even though it is rare, it can happen, so it is best to avoid contact with people suffering from the measles.  They encourage the public to stay away from those who are infected, “Most people who are not immune from measles and are sharing a house or in close contact with somebody who is infected will develop the condition.”  The HSE believes the best way to avoid the infection is to be vaccinated. They believe that getting two doses of the MMR (Measles-Mumps-Rubella) vaccine will protect you from the measles.  Unfortunately, there is no treatment for the measles. When the rash develops you need to rest as much as possible until your body is strong enough to fight the infection.  Medical professionals suggest taking ibuprofen to ease the pain. Closing the curtains and dimming the lights will help with sensitive eyes.  They advise those who have the measles to rest as much as possible and to drink plenty of fluids to avoid dehydration.  It is understood that the symptoms last for seven to 10 days.",9,"ireland"
"5239","THE NUMBER of cases of Measles in the Mid West is still rising with 27 cases confirmed since the beginning of the year and ha;f of these have had to be hospitalised.  People at risk are being urged to get their free vaccination, and this includes adults under the age of 40, who haven’t had or are unsure of they have ad, the jab.  The majority of cases are in Limerick City and one is in Clare but linked to Limerick. Almost two thirds of cases are aged between 15 and 40 years demonstrating that measles is not just an illness of childhood.  Advertisement  A free HSE MMR vaccination clinic (no appointment needed) is being held in Barrack View Primary Care Centre, Edward Street, Limerick today (April 5) and on next Thursday April 12, at 3-4pm.  And for the duration of this outbreak MMR vaccination is free of charge to the public from GPs as the HSE is paying for the vaccine and for the GPs to give the vaccine  “Measles is a serious public health issue. It is so contagious that if one person has it, 90 per cent of the people close to that person who are not immune will also become infected.,” a HSE spokesman said.  “It is spread easily through coughing and sneezing. Measles can lead to serious complications such as pneumonia and inflammation of the brain and can, in rare cases, lead to a fatal disease of the brain which develops years after the infection. The mortality rate from measles infection is 1-2 per 1,000 cases.  “This measles outbreak is continuing because we do not have herd immunity – i.e. the proportion of the population immune to measles is less than 95 per cent”.  Medical experts advise that the only effective protection against measles is two doses of the MMR vaccine. Anyone who has not had two doses of MMR is at high risk of getting measles if they come in contact with someone who has it.  Many adults in the at-risk age group also have young children, which means they are more likely to be exposed to measles and may in turn expose their babies and young children to measles if they get it, according to the HSE.  The following groups, in particular, should check if they have had two doses of MMR and if not, visit their GP to get immunised as soon as possible. If people do not have a medical record of their vaccination it is not harmful to have extra doses to be on the safe side.  · Parents under the age of 40 who have never had measles or haven’t had the full course of MMR vaccine  · Adults under the age of 40 who work with the public. Some jobs pose more of a risk than others e.g. people who work with children, people who work in healthcare, those who work in education, those working in public offices or services and those who work in retail premises. Measles is very infectious and as this outbreak continues the risk of exposure continues.  · Couples under the age of 40 who may be planning a family. This is as once a woman is pregnant she is unable to get the MMR vaccine until after the baby arrives. Measles increases the risk of miscarriage and still birth. There is no treatment available which reduces this risk.  · Adults and young people under the age of 40 who plan to travel abroad in the coming months. There are a number of large outbreaks of measles in Europe (the UK, France, Italy, Germany and Romania) and across the world currently. Measles can be transmitted easily within the confined space of an airplane to people who are non-immune.  Measles vaccine was introduced in Ireland in 1985 and MMR in 1988 which means that most of those aged over 40 are immune to measles due to natural infection but under 40’s may have missed the vaccination window.  Those aged 30 – 34 may have received 1 dose of MMR, while those aged under age 30 years would have had the opportunity to get two doses of MMR but uptake was less than 70% for some age groups.  The HSE is advising that It is also important that parents of children in the region to check if their children have had the vaccines appropriate for their age (1st one at 1 year, 2nd one in Junior Infants in primary school).  “Parents whose children are sitting exams may wish to prioritise this due to the potential disruption to their exams an infection could cause. It is also especially important in those who are planning to bring their children abroad”.  “People who cannot get the MMR vaccine i.e. young infants, pregnant women and those whose immune systems are weakened (cancer patients etc.) are relying on the people around them who can get the MMR vaccine to help protect them”.  As part of the outbreak control measures MMR is also being provided free through GPs. The HSE is paying for the vaccine and for the GPs to give the vaccine. Anyone who doesn’t have a medical card will need to give their PPSN.  The HSE advises people who have symptoms of measles infection (rash, fever, cough, temperature) to:  Stay at home from work. Children should not attend school or creche.  Call the Department of Public Health at 061 – 483338 to advise that you think you/your child may have measles.  Telephone your GP so that they can see you at a time/place when no one else is there (to avoid infecting others).  A GP may organise a test to confirm the diagnosis – this is usually done by using a small swab that takes a sample of the oral fluid from the mouth.  “Patients with symptoms of measles should avoid presenting to the emergency department where possible. If it is necessary to seek urgent care, it is important to inform the ambulance service or emergency department that you have symptoms consistent with measles beforehand so that the appropriate precautions can be taken. Similarly, if you have been in contact with a confirmed case of measles and are seeking medical attention, please inform the healthcare provider before attending,” the spokesman said.  An Outbreak Control Team made up of representatives from the HSE is involved in managing the outbreak in an effort to prevent further spread. This involves following up on every case of measles or suspected measles, arranging vaccination for people who have been in contact with someone who is infected, running immunisation clinics and outbreak communications.

The number of children being diagnosed with the disease has been much higher since the start of the year, however, the number of cases of those over the age of 35 being diagnosed has left the HSE concerned.  It is recommended that 95 percent of the population needs to be vaccinated against the disease to prevent the spread of the disease, however, as it stands we are falling short of that.

"6810","This post has been edited by Orlando Armignacco, Director, Department of Infectious Diseases, the Hospital Belcolle of Viterbo Talk to you today about measles can seem superfluous or anachronistic. However, perhaps not everyone knows that, in Italy, in 2017 have been reported as well 4.991 cases of this disease. It is the treaty, i.e., of an epidemic that has seen the involvement of other european Countries and, in particular, Romania, Germany and Greece. Also in the previous years, in Italy, there were many cases of measles (2.258 in 2013, 1,696 in 2014, 258 in 2015, 862 in 2016), but never so numerous as those of 2017, the year in which, in Europe, Italy has been surpassed only by Romania to the number of cases (5.966) and a higher incidence rate of cases per million inhabitants. Measles is an infectious disease highly contagious caused by a virus. Man is the only natural host of measles virus. Measles is transmitted by direct contact from person infected to susceptible individual: the virus is eliminated with droplets infected with the respiratory tract, with sneezing, coughing or simply talking. The upper airways are the port of entry of the virus, even if it's possible the penetration through the conjunctiva. The person infected is contagious for a period ranging from three to four days before the onset of symptoms until four days after the appearance of the typical manifestations on the skin. The peak infectivity occurs in the phase that precedes the appearance of symptoms. The environmental resistance of the virus is small, and it is believed that the survival of the virus in the air, on objects or on the surfaces does not exceed two hours. The infection usually gives rise, after an incubation period of 9 - 14 days, with a clinical picture characterized by fever, respiratory symptoms, conjunctivitis, manifestations on the mucous, and by the appearance of a rash (exanthema), which starts from the head and then spreads to the trunk and to the limbs. The total duration of disease is 7-10 days. Complications are frequent, occurring in about one-third of cases",9,"italy"

"6815","Monday 03 July 2017 | In Italy it is an epidemic, certified by the data released by the Higher Institute of Health: 3.074 cases of measles recorded from January 1 to June 18, 2017, equal to 43 percent of all diagnoses made in the Old Continent. It was necessary to wait for the death of the little Marco (the name is invented) to rekindle the debate on the indispensability of some vaccines? The child, suffering from acute lymphoblastic leukemia, he died in reality because of the measles. There is the almost certainty that the cancer would not have killed, from the time that eight sick people out of ten are able to live well beyond. But to break the life of this little patient of six years have been the complications of measles: not the order of the day, but not uncommon, especially in a person whose immune system is weakened by eight months of chemotherapy. Inevitable, therefore, has been the revival of the debate on vaccines, always up to date after the obligation of vaccination against 12 potential infectious agents that the Government has decided to introduce, starting from the next school year. WHAT HAPPENED IN THE LAST SIX MONTHS? – Marco had been hospitalized since last October: the first in the department of pediatric clinic, and then in an intensive care unit, when her condition worsened because of the measles. Had not been vaccinated before or have not had been able to protect from the time of diagnosis of leukemia next, because at that point all of the vaccinations are not recommended. Respiratory complications have forced him to stay attached for months to the machine that allows the extracorporeal circulation and that allows you to pump the blood when the heart beat is so weak not to do it alone. Up until a few days ago, when he abdicated in the face of a life that had become too steep for a six year old child. On his skin, now, you are playing the game among the supporters are convinced of the need to return to the obligation of vaccination, and the movement no-vax, the silence of which on the network in the last hours has been the most eloquent of insults against the immunization of children. THE ROLE OF the BROTHERS – Of course, there is, as stated in the end of the week several times by Andrea Biondi, director of the pediatric clinic of San Gerardo hospital in Monza, ""that it is not possible to define who has plagued Mark"", in response to those who for some time had pointed the finger at the parents and the non-vaccination anti-measles of the two brothers a little older than Marco. ""All three children of the couple had made the vaccinations esavalenti,"" confirmed the Blond, with reference to the defence by the diphtheria, the tetanus, the poliomyelitis, hepatitis B, from invasive disease by Haemophilus B and acellular pertussis. ""Having said that, it is said that a vaccination antimorbillo would have saved you"". The brethren, also, have had the measles, ""later"", in times that are not compatible with the contagion of the small victim: there would be nothing. ""The cause"" continues Biondi – ""this is the wave of the epidemic of measles that has hit the whole of Italy and which, unfortunately, is caused from the lack of vaccinations in recent years"". There is, however, that the immunization of all persons in close contact with Marco would be able to protect him. This is the effectiveness of the so-called ""strategy of the cocoon"" (""cocooning"" in English), which provides just the immunization of all persons in close contact with children, to reduce the risk that you are sick. IN ITALY there IS AN EPIDEMIC OF MEASLES – Plant the disappearance of the small Mark, now we are questioning if what happened will have an opposite effect with respect to rates of adherence to the vaccination trivalent: can protect from measles, mumps and rubella. In Italy it is an epidemic, certified by the data released by the Higher Institute of Health: 3.074 cases of measles recorded from January 1 to June 18, 2017, equal to 43 percent of all diagnoses made in the Old Continent. In just four months, has already reached the threshold of reports that usually you can reach in a year. From here, the choice of the minister of Health Beatrice Lorenzin, who drafted the decree, which from September will be required compulsory vaccinations for enrolment to kindergartens and nursery. The revocation of the obligation, dating back to 1998, has led you to think that ""if a disease disappears you can avoid vaccinating children"", is the bitter realization of Blonde. From here to the current scenario, the step was rather short. The coverage rate of measles has fallen to 85 percent, while the World Health Organization shows us how safety threshold of ten percentage points. This scissor makes you less the""immunity of the flock"", which refers to the protective effect that high rates of vaccination coverage shall ensure vis-a-vis the population as a whole (including non-vaccinated). This solution, as the ""strategy of the cocoon"", was able to save Marco. WHAT WILL CHANGE FROM SEPTEMBER? – As has been said, therefore, to enroll for the next school year children must be protected from twelve diseases: polio, diphtheria, tetanus, hepatitis B, whooping cough, and infection by Haemophilus influenzae B (through chromium)",9,"italy"
"6816","0 0 0 the Topicality, vaccines, policies, and innovations in the prevention strategy: determined the position on the part of the Simit Company scientific specialists in contemporary with the decision and the go-ahead from the Council of ministers a decree law that reintroduces the reliability of vaccinations for school enrollment. The obligation to be vaccinated regarding the age of 0 to six years. Rise, also, to the twelve compulsory vaccines. “For the compulsory school, the lack of documentation on the vaccines produced by the authority of the school sanctions from ten to thirty times larger than existing ones,” said the prime minister, Paolo Gentiloni. “Overcoming the differences at the regional level and to provide a single address line. This is the goal of the decree approved today, with which we expanded to 12 of the required vaccinations for entry to school”, says the Minister of health Lorenzin at the end of the Cdm. The theme of the vaccines which the hot topic, in particular with regard to the measles. The Simit, Italian Society of infectious and tropical diseases, and reiterates the absolute necessity to achieve at least 95% of vaccination coverage of school-age children to be able to stop the spread of infection and to ensure the possibility of access to education to those children who, as suffering from diseases that compromise the immune system, cannot be vaccinated and there would be a risk of contracting the infection, for their potentially deadly, attending school. “This is the already mentioned immunity of the flock - says Massimo Galli, Vice president Simit, Professor of Infectious Diseases at the University of Milano - namely that situation in which if the majority is immune, even the minority of the non-immune host is protected from infection. The percentage of the vaccinated is necessary to reach this condition in the case of measles is 95%. It should be remembered that, in a situation of missing or low vaccination coverage, for each person who contracts the measles and likely are infected from the 12 to the 18 other. Just for a comparison, a single infection from the Ebola virus is provided that can generate from 1.5 to 2.5 more cases, while a person with an infection by seasonal influenza virus and because in the media of other 1,2-1,4 cases. In the last 10 years from 10 to 15 % of the child population (with peaks of up to 25% and more in some areas of the country) and’ escape every to the vaccination or has received a vaccination incomplete, and there are many children not born in Italy, whose state of vaccination is unknown or incomplete. Vaccinate this population is essential to halt the spread of the disease”. It should also be remembered that in Italy an important part of the population in the age range between 20 and 35 years of age and is probably not immune. From 1983 to 1996, the rate of vaccination within the two-year life and was, in fact, always lower than 50%. In particular emphasised the need to vaccinate women in age of childbearing, who wish to undertake a pregnancy and have no memory of the infection or the status of immunization is not documented. Measles in pregnancy is, in fact, can cause serious complications to both mother, both the fetus and the offspring of mothers not immune to face the first year of life devoid of maternal antibodies, therefore, without protection against the infection. “A rare, but terrible sequela of measles - adds Prof. Galli - and’ the panencefalite subacute sclerosing, which is observed in a case in 10000 infections, but the frequency of which rises to a case on the 600 if the infection was contracted within the 2 years of age. It is a serious neurological disease that appears a few years after the acute infection and leads to death after a course average of about three years. Finally one must not forget that measles is an illness which causes a long period in which the immunological memory is partially compromised, and in which they are reduced defenses against other infectious agents. It is therefore a walk of health, or something on which you can further traccheggiare delaying the necessary interventions”. (Press/Say)",9,"italy"

"6832","The first hospitalization for measles in the children's hospital of Bari dates back to the 23rd of October last, the last, an adult woman who was admitted to the Hospital, to the 9th of November. Between these two cases, the other six patients, four juveniles and two adults have contracted the virus. Among at least seven of the eight cases there would be a link. The internal investigation launched by the health department of the hospital is going forward rapidly, in order to reconstruct the chain of infections, some of which may have occurred prior to the hospitalizations, and others might be generated from the contact in the department of the hospital by a little girl, the daughter of parents no-vax. In detail, the first child hospitalized with measles, 8 years (and not 10), has been in the infectious diseases department of the John XXIII from October 23 to 27. The little brother of 11 years was hospitalized with the same symptoms, the 1st of November (both of the brothers were already dismissed), and the same day he was hospitalized, a cousin of 2 years. On the 6th of November, then, it happened to another cousin of 16 years. It is, therefore, of four children related to each other and all non-vaccinated. On the 23rd of October he had been admitted for other reasons, even a child of 11 months, then in the hospital would contract the measles virus and will be discharged in the next few hours. On 8 November, then, were admitted to the general hospital a man, a security guard in service in the department of infectious diseases at the children's hospital and the mother of the child of 2 years. The day after, finally, another woman was hospitalized with a diagnosis of measles, but his situation would seem to be detached from the chain of infection that involved the other seven.

"6852","Measles is an infectious disease of which you hear most often about it, but just as often you are unaware of the possible serious consequences. This alone unjustified “disease of little account,” spreading in the population, has led to a lax general in respect of vaccination as an indispensable means of prophylaxis, and in these first months of 2017 are emerging, the consequences widely expected by the experts. What is the measles, The measles, as they well know moms, it is a disease that mostly affects children below 5 years of age and, particularly, between the first and the third year of life, so much so that it is considered a pathology in childhood, although it can affect individuals of any age. The pathogen causing the disease is a virus with a genome that is RNA, belonging to the family of Paramyxoviridae, genus Morbillivirus, which attacks the respiratory system and can spread to a large part of the body. The symptoms of the disease are felt only after 10 to 12 days after infection and is reflected in a high fever, lasting even for a whole week, dry cough, photophobia, red eyes, and moistened, a sign of conjunctivitis. After a few days, there appears a characteristic rash involving the face and neck, being able to expand that also to the trunk and to the limbs. However, these are only the symptoms most well-known of the measles, which, although annoying, do not involve sequelae or adverse outcome. But there is another side of the same disease, whose lack of knowledge leads to underestimate mistakenly with measles. In fact, in a minority of cases, may result in complications such as diarrhoea, pneumonia, otitis media, reaching up to blindness, panencefalite subacute sclerosing and encephalitis, which in 40% of cases, leads, or death or serious and permanent damage. The Ministry: “the epidemic in the course from the beginning of 2017,” The danger of measles is enhanced by its characteristic of high infectivity, given that the transmission from one individual to a contact can be made either by air (coughing, sneezing, etc...), both for interpersonal contact that is close, is via nasal secretions. For more you have to keep in mind that the measles virus can be transmitted from the 3-4 days before symptoms appear in the infected person –that then still does not know how to be - up to 4 days after the onset of the rash. All these features ensure that in populations with inadequate vaccination coverage, it becomes obvious that the outbreak of an epidemic. In fact, just in these first 5 months of 2017 in Italy you are witnessing an increase in impressive and worrisome cases of measles compared to previous years. From 1 January 2017 have already been reported, 2 224 cases, a huge number when compared with the 390 reports made in the same period of 2016 and with the sole 103 of 2015. Of these 2 224 cases, 34% showed at least one of the complications –mainly diarrhea, stomatitis, pneumonia and hepatitis), 39% were hospitalized and 15% had to resort to the emergency room. The majority of the cases (55%) was manifested in the age group 15-39 years. In the Campania region the cases reported to have been 35, a number that is fortunately quite low, if one considers that the region is among the last in the percentage of the vaccinated, reaching values of 80% for the MPR, compared to a national average of 85%, which remains largely insufficient to determine the elimination of the disease, to reach that objective with a percentage of immunized >95%. The framework is manifested in all its gravity if it is inserted in the frame of the European Union, where Italy is the last, together with Romania (86%), percentage vaccinated, so as to be placed under observation for possible outbreaks of measles by the World Health Organization (WHO). Get vaccinated in total safety The only way to combat measles, whereas there are only cures regarding the symptoms and not the disease itself, is prevention, that has a precise name: vaccination. The measles vaccine is made from a live virus attenuated, that is, unable to unleash the disease despite being immunogenic. Currently is administered in the form of a trivalent vaccine against measles, mumps and rubella (MPR) or tetravalent (MPRV), including chickenpox, with a first dose by inoculating between the 13th and the 15th month of life and a second dose during the 6° year of age, so as to have a lasting effect. Although a single study of the ‘90s, fraudulent, and without any scientific foundation, has tried to discredit the image of this vaccination in the eyes of the world's population, it is necessary to clear the field from any doubt: in the MPR, like all vaccines, it is extremely safe, and serious adverse reactions are extremely rare. Suffice it to say that the probability that following the vaccination the event of a encephalomyelitis is 1/1 000 000 (sic: one in a million!). This figure is even more negligible if compared with the possibility of death following infection with measles, for which the lethality is estimated to be between 1/10 000 and 1/1 000. Therefore, it is from 100 to 1 000 times more likely to die from measles itself, rather than to develop encephalomyelitis after vaccination. The extreme effectiveness of vaccination against the measles is also proven by the data of the WHO, which tells us that only between 2000 and 2015, the vaccination against this disease has prevented approximately 20.3 million dead. The proof of the opposite, instead, we can easily find in Italy, where 2 224 cases which occurred in the first 18 weeks of 2017, 89% were for individuals not vaccinated and a further 7%, people who had received only the first dose and then did not complete the vaccination. The National Plan of Prevention, Vaccination (PNPV) 2017-2019 has among its objectives the achievement and maintenance of vaccination coverage <U+2265> 95% for a dose of MPR within 2 years of age and the second dose of MMR in children 5-6 years of age and in adolescents susceptible (11-18 years), aligned to the requirements of the WHO.",9,"italy"
"6963","In the territory of 1.033 about 3.232 throughout the Country. A concentration is also due to migration flows from and to countries with a lower rate of vaccination. But for the institution led by Nicola Zingaretti, the real problem is getting there in time for the opening of the schools between lack of staff and shifts for the summer. To overcome the bureaucracy, will be the local health service to manage the communication with the schools, The measles and the practical effects of the decree Lorenzin on vaccines are risking to put in crisis the Region of Lazio. It will be a difficult summer on the front of health care for the body led by Nicola Zingaretti, in whose territory are registered from the beginning of the year 1.033 cases of the disease, exactly a third of 3.232 occurred throughout the Country (Iss, June 30). “Diffusion, also due to migration flows, especially those coming from Romania”, according to what he is saying to he helped.en Alessio D'amato, a former regional councillor Pd and is currently in charge of the booth on the regional health system. The numbers, fortunately, are too low to be able to talk about the epidemic, but the expansion of the measles is putting in great concern, the directors of the Asl of lazio, struggling with another emergency, that of the decree on the obligation of vaccination wanted by the government Customers. The health facilities in the area, in fact, have a deficit of staff of 7,500 (data Cisl), and the Region expects the 900,000 families between July and August raced to vaccinate as many children in the developmental age (between 0 and 16 years old) to allow him to formalise the registration for the school year 2017 and 2018. “We're trying to do possible and even the impossible, he Of the Loved – the decree unfortunately was a bit down from the top, without a discussion on its applicability. But now our job is to ensure that all is done in an orderly manner, and that is what we will do”. VACCINES TO the ASL EMPLOYEES AND THE COMPONTENTE of MIGRATION – In recent days, Zingaretti announced a wide campaign of vaccination against the measles for the operators (doctors, nurses, and pedicab drivers) of the local health authorities, “often in advanced age and, therefore, largely without any prophylaxis to shoulder against this disease.” The primary need is to protect children with immunodeficiencies and, therefore, unable to undergo the therapies for the prevention. But why are so many cases of measles in Lazio? D'amato tries to give an explanation. “Being in a disease-endemic – says – it is not always easy to understand the reasons of the localization of the outbreaks. There is definitely a contingency related to the migratory flows that favors the spread of the disease”. Words that deserve further investigation. “Romania is the Eu Country most affected by this disease – continued D'amato – with twice the number of cases registered in Italy. Rome and Latium host an important and large community of romania, whose members make frequent trips to and from, and their land of origin. Of course I'm not saying that the high spread of measles is the fault of the migrants, of course, but this is a factor that cannot be underestimated”. IN a ROW TO the ASL FOR THE PROPHYLAXIS – That of measles, as mentioned, is not the only emergency. According to the decree, wanted by the minister of Health, Beatrice Lorenzin, families with children in the developmental age must submit, by the beginning of the school year a self-certification with the successful start of the vaccination plan of the 12 antigens (in the Parliament is debating whether in the context of the conversion of the decree, and the case of lowering the fee to 10 or even raise it to 13). The process should be at least begun in the summer, and then families will have until July 2018 to complete it. All this, however, is putting in crisis the health care facilities in lazio. “We are in a period in which health professionals play a natural shift for the holidays – explains Roberto Chierchia, secretary of the Cisl Roma e Lazio – and, unfortunately, the numbers tell us that the Asl employees count 7,500 less than expected, with a turn-over locked for 10 years. Unfortunately there are months that we guard the regional administration on this front, but all the warnings are finished in a vacuum”. The result is that, in the best cases, families should contact the toll-free number made available by the Asl and tried to go to the round of vaccination, with waiting lists that in some cases have already come to the end of August. “We can do it just a 25-day – reveals to us an employee of the Asl Rome 4 rome (Civitavecchia) – we are in trouble”. CERTIFICATES DIRECTLY TO the SCHOOLS – it must Be said that, despite the difficulties, the Junta Zingaretti keeps us a lot to ensure that the vaccination campaign do not register any major hitches. The bitter controversy of the past few weeks between the “No Vax” and “Pro-Vax” has seen the governor-Dem strongly aligned with the seconds and now are not allowed hesitation whatsoever, not even on the front of practical application. It is also for this that came the decision of the cab of the queen to make sure that the authorities and the educational institutions can talk directly, by exchanging the necessary information to bypass the families. “We have made an agreement with the Asl to avoid the inconvenience and potential problems to the families – has written Zingaretti in a post on his profile on Facebook – the documentation on the actual execution will be acquired through a direct relationship between Schools and the local health authorities. The goal is the simplification of the procedures”. In this way, “the Asl will evaluate the regularity of the situation, vaccination of everyone, it will activate all the procedures for the eventual recovery of the gap vaccine and will send the certificates directly to the schools. The schools, in the full respect of privacy regulations, they will send the lists of the enrolled in the Company health expertise.” In short: we raise families in a commitment bureaucratic rather heavy, especially in the summer months, and on the other, the control directly at the source,” that the prophylaxis was actually honoured by all.",9,"italy"

With three children under the age of 4 years old was measles established. With other children the same age, are serious allegations. ""There is a chance that further spreading is going to take place,"" show that the public health service of the Hague, in a reaction to the Volkskrant to know. The Dutch newspaper the Volkskrant: ‘in The center of his world once again on the rise. In many countries, it decreases the uptake rates, thus making the virus easier to spread. The GOVERNMENT warned last month of another large-scale disease outbreaks in Romania, Ukraine, united kingdom, France, germany, great Britain, Greece, italy and other Southern European countries. In August, a slew of the world health organization's already a warning in the first half of 2018, increased the number of people living with the disease, had to deal with from 24 to 41 thousand. In the United States of america, that the disease in the year 2000 as a cut off saw, this year, 387 patients with the disease to be treated, a lot more than in previous years. The total number of mazelenpatiënten in the united kingdom, with the new cases in the first four months of this year, on the 13th, reports of the institute for public health. This is also higher than usual. In a few years, no large-scale mazelenuitbraken (the last was in 2014), there are usually between ten to twenty cases in a year. However, the GOVERNMENT is, as yet, don't worry. ""There is always a question of choice. Now, there is a clustertje in The Hague, "" says a spokesman. ""To the extent to avoid a vaccination rate of 95 percent or above, the public health and the ENVIRONMENT. We are out there in the last few years, but a little lower.’ BES is concerned about the dwindling vaccination rate, as The BES is concerned about the declining vaccination rates and the impact that that will have for the children at the day care centers. We believe that parents have a right to know what the vaccination rate is in a particular location, so that they can take to their choice of organization and location. However, let's not just focus on the child. We should not be under-estimated, that is, when the coverage is less than 95 % of the children in general are at risk, so, too, during other daily activities. The world health organization (WHO), aims to achieve a vaccination rate of 95% for both the first and second mazelenvaccinatie. By this standard, it is necessary for the elimination of measles and to reach it, and it is, therefore, now it can no longer be guaranteed in this country. BES policy is in place: the Dutch political party D66, should the proposed bill be in The BES is that it is the political clarity has to offer in this debate, and it should let you know that they are right-holders is expected. The current rules are not sufficiently clear. The primary choice of whether to have children or to have children ongevaccineerd the child may be located in the state. Member of the Dutch parliament Was Raemakers (D66) in the October of 2018 have been announced for the bill to be submitted to the child care centres have the choice as to whether they are the children refuse to participate in the Rijksvaccinatieprogramma. This allows parents and their children, however, want to vaccinate their babies and young children, with a peace of mind to the reception of charge. Raemakers, ”With this act, child care centres, children who are not vaccinated, are in decline. We are looking for a number of years of declining vaccination coverage in the Netherlands. This is especially risky for infants, since that is only 14-months, against a highly contagious disease like the measles can be vaccinated. Unfortunately, some people seem to forget how severe are the consequences of infectious diseases can be. There are a lot vaccinatieweigeraars-and –three-quarter beds. While the vaccinations are proven to be effective. Parents will be opting for day care centres in which they are to be sure that children are vaccinated. For example, they can be a safe choice for their child in the service.” The proposal is to have non-vaccinated children in child care centres to be able to reject it proved to be rather Kamermeerderheid to be able to count on, in any case, the VVD, CDA, SP, GroenLinks and PvdA. Finally, the BMK – as it is said, that the government should only focus on the child. Young children are also out, the child can become infected with measles, mumps or any other infectious disease.",9,"netherlands"

Also, have been adopted or have made significant progress in several drugs. For example, the Food and Drug Administration of Usa (FDA, for its acronym in English) gave the green light in October to a new treatment against cystic fibrosis, a so-called 'Trikafta', which will be effective for approximately 90 percent of those affected. Many of them until now, they had no therapeutic option. Not for the time has come to Europe.

""Due to the overcrowding in the camps, the contamination rate is very high,"" said dr Juhn Katabuka, director of the main hospital in Bunia. The displaced people have pointed out that they are even more vulnerable due to the lack of supplies and appropriate housing in the camps.

According to the NGO, the propagation began at the beginning of January. “We are calling to declare a sanitary alert,” said Obdola. Measles, highly contagious viral disease that affects in particular children, can be prevented with vaccines, but the oil-rich country faced with a shortage of medication of close to 90%, according to the private Federation of Pharmaceutical. The government of president Nicolas Maduro maintains that the sanctions imposed by the united States make it difficult to import medicine and food. The Pan american Health Organization (PAHO) warned last march 16 on outbreaks of measles in the Americas, the largest in Venezuela, with 886 cases from 2017. The most affected are children under five years, followed by the group of six to 15 years, says PAHO. The migration venezuelan motivated by the severe socio-economic crisis has led to cases of measles in neighboring countries like Brazil, Colombia and Ecuador. Until the 12th of march, Brazil confirmed 14 of 50 suspected cases, all of “venezuelans, who have not been vaccinated from nine months to 18 years”, he asserted the OPS. In Colombia came at least two cases imported from Venezuela, and Ecuador, that since 2011 had no reports, reported on Monday on a five-year-old infected who arrived by land route. On Tuesday, the minister of Health of venezuela, Luis Lopez, announced that the next weekend will start a plan of vaccination against diphtheria, measles, and yellow fever.",9,"spain"
"65612","The measles epidemic has given a lot to talk about in the last few months. It affects both children and adults. However, this disease is extremely serious when caught in adulthood. How is it manifested? Who are the most exposed to this disease? Is it possible to treat it? What are the risks of having measles? How to prevent it? In this article you will find all the answers to your questions. Who can be affected by measles? The measles virus spreads very easily. Apart from children, pregnant women are not vaccinated can be easily affected by this disease. This can cause abnormalities or even death in utero of the fetus. People with immune defenses weakened also have a high probability of contracting the virus. However, in adults, measles is more serious in children. You can even lead to various complications more or less serious. How is the disease spread? In France, as in the united States, the measles virus is now a scourge that must be eradicated, must be protected to not get it. To do this, you must know the mode of transmission of measles. Know that the virus responsible for this highly contagious disease can be transmitted directly through the air. In the first case, you can get it by interacting with people who are sick, or simply by touching contaminated objects. In the second case, an infected person can transmit the disease by coughing or sneezing. The virus enters the respiratory tract and then spreads throughout the body. You should also know that the virus remains contagious and active for 2 hours in the open air. Infected people can spread the disease 4 days before and 4 days after the onset of the rash. The measles in adults, how to recognize it? Measles is extremely serious, especially for adults, so that some symptoms should alert you. Initially, the sick person feels dejection complete and is suffering from a high fever. These symptoms are felt for about ten days after infection. Then, the disease is manifested by several disorders such as runny nose, cough, watery eyes, eyes that are red and swollen, conjunctivitis. It can also happen that the patient develops an photophobia and you may feel uncomfortable when you see any kind of light source. Only after the rash appears through small red spots slightly elevated. Appear first at the level of the head, then in the upper part of the body and then extend all over the body for 5 to 6 days. What are the risks and complications? In general, measles is a very common disease during childhood. However, it can affect both teens and adults when they have not been vaccinated. In addition, the later it gets this disease, the more severe it may be, and cause certain complications. For adults aged 20 years or older, the complications of measles can even result in hospitalization. In fact, this disease can cause encephalitis, blindness, cerebral edema, diarrhea that causes dehydration or significant respiratory infections. In some cases, can even cause liver and kidney problems. The lack of control of the disease as soon as possible can cause death. Therefore, it is essential to treat immediately all symptoms of this disease as soon as they appear. How do you treat measles? Up to now, there is no treatment against measles. Can only be cured of their various symptoms, such as respiratory tract infections or fever. How to better protect against the measles? Given that we currently do not have antiviral treatment, the best solution against measles is prevention. The vaccination To do this, the most effective and safe is the vaccination. For example, if someone in your family or a loved one has measles, you should get the vaccine very quickly if you have never been vaccinated. This will protect you. The vaccine in question is MMR vaccine. It also protects against mumps and rubella. You should also know that if you have more than 18 years, 65% of the vaccine will be reimbursed through Health Insurance. The rest will be, in general, by your mutual insurance. Do not hesitate to the day. However, if you've been born since 1980, you should have already been vaccinated. The hygiene measures that are taken in Addition to vaccination, the adoption of some good habits and hygiene measures will allow you to prevent the measles to stop the spread of the virus. Here are some habits that you can take:",9,"spain"

Since 2012 is not detected in the Basque country no case of this pathology, and those detected prior to that date corresponded also to the people unvaccinated that had traveled outside of the Basque country, has explained the department. From the Department of Health have indicated that, in the event that you are going to do any international travel, it is ""recommended"" that the vaccination calendar for child is ""up to date"". In addition, it has been noted that, when the trip destination is outside the European Union, ""it is important to check, in addition, if you require any additional measurement, according to the country concerned"", for which ""there are going to be informed to the international vaccination centers"". In the specific case of measles, the Department of Health has explained that, currently, ""in almost all european countries is causing an increase in cases, mainly due to the existence of population groups with low vaccination coverage"". This increase of the infection is affecting above all to France, Italy, Germany, Uk, Greece and Romania. SPECIFIC CASES, however, from the Directorate of Public Health of the Basque Government, recalled that the tourism trip to the european countries ""does not require taking any special measure"". ""Only in specific cases, for a long-stay (over a month) and in function of the epidemiological situation of the area where you are going, may be recommended measures vaccination against measles, which would have to administer an additional dose of vaccine in infants six to eleven months of age,"" he explained. To be effective, has to be explained, such a vaccination, exceptional, must be made at least three weeks before the trip. However, Health has warned that ""the dose does not replace the recommended vaccines in the vaccination calendar for child for 12 months and 4 years of age, who should manage it always."" Finally, the Directorate of Public Health of the Department of Health has insisted both on ""the relevance of vaccination to prevent serious infectious diseases"", as in ""the current safety of vaccines.""",9,"spain"
"77811","Agencies.- Around 7.2 million people were born in Spain between 1970 and 1980 and are the group that the Ministry of Health recommends be vaccinated against measles if they have not been vaccinated previously or have not had the disease, before the rebound of the virus worldwide. Due to the confusion generated, sources of Health have reiterated to Efe that the epidemiological situation of measles in our country has not changed, keeping the state of removal from 2016, and remember that the recommendations are reflected in the common calendar of vaccination throughout life. Routine vaccination against measles began to generalize in 1981 through the mmr vaccine, which also protects the rubella and the mumps, explained to Efe dr. Luis Ignacio Martínez Alcorta, director of innovation of the board of directors of the Spanish Association of Vacunología. All children born from that year that met the immunization schedule are properly immunized. In the decade of the 70's they used a monovalent vaccine against measles but only for a short period of time, so that there is optimal protection against disease for those who now have between 40 and 50 years, who are the ""target group"" of the recommendation of Health. AND WHAT ABOUT THOSE BORN BEFORE 1970? The percentage of people born before 1970 who have not had measles is ""marginal"", says the doctor. Before that year the virus was circulating widely and is a disease as transmissible that more than 90 % of the people had already experienced before reaching the age of 18 years. ""It is extremely rare that do not."" Health assumes that these people are immune by having had the disease previously. HOW DO YOU KNOW IF THERE IS THAT SHOT? When in doubt whether you are vaccinated or has had measles, ""it is always better to get vaccinated"" because it does not pose any risk even if you have passed the disease. There is an analytical proof called serology to know if a person has suffered or not a certain disease ""but it is not recommended to systematize its use because it is much more cost-effective and safe to vaccinate,"" says dr. Martinez Alcorta. The only caution to take in account for administering the triple viral is, in the case of a woman, if you are pregnant and if the person has a chronic condition that results in immunosuppression, or is allergic to any component of the vaccine. WHAT TO DO TO GET THE VACCINE? If it has been born in the years 70, there is to go to the health center for the medical advice. In the event you need to get the vaccine, the vaccine is ""completely safe, highly effective, and is free"". It is a vaccine of live attenuated virus and is administered in two doses with a minimum difference of four weeks between one and the other. The protection is approximately 93 %. The side effects, if they appear, are ""mild and transient"". Currently, the first dose is given at 12 months and the second at 3 or 4 years. The vaccination rate of mmr in 2018 was higher than 95% in the first dose but the second dose is half of the autonomous communities did not come to that coverage. ""There is a tendency to cover vaccine tend to decrease as children get older,"" he says.",9,"spain"

Fainy took to Facebook to blast “non vaxxers” for violating her daughter's health and for being responsible for every breath Shira has found difficult to take.

According to the World Health Organisation (WHO) outbreaks in 2019 have put a strain on health systems, resulting in serious illness and deaths. Measles is most dangerous to those who are young, old and chronically sick, and can have lasting impacts on the healthiest of people. The latest data from WHO shows world healthcare is increasingly burdened by the disease.  According to the provisional data based on monthly reports to WHO (Geneva), as of August 2019 WHO, measles cases are now three-times higher than last year. Cases of the disease have increased since 2016, and the worst affected countries are those without access to the measles vaccines.

""Measles is a highly infectious disease that can spread rapidly and lead to serious complications - a very high vaccination coverage of 95 per cent is needed for community protection. If the coverage dips below this in certain regions, measles cases can spread and outbreaks can and are occurring.  ""While most people vaccinate, some individuals do not.

When the debate has gotten out of control when it became something of a war of faith has become today it is difficult to say. Maybe that was already present during Napoleon times, as if the smallpox vaccination was invented. Because already at that time, caricatures showed that a part of the population refused the vaccination. And until today it is an almost ideological question: Should I let my child be vaccinated against diphtheria, Tetanus and measles for example? According to the latest Figures from the Robert Koch-Institute, the answer is less and less parents this question with Yes. Seven percent of school beginners in Germany had, therefore, no adequate measles protection. And that is not all by far: In a Gymnasium in Schleswig-Holstein were recently admitted high school graduates for the test because the Vaccination was missing. In lower Saxony, a young woman is in may at the supposedly harmless children's disease, died. Parents should access the numbers in the worst case, 2500 Euro For Jens Spahn, it is time, finally. By 2020, the Federal Minister of health for mandatory measles vaccinations for daycare and school, trying to enforce kids. Anyone who causes his children to not immunize, you must pay – in the worst case, a value of 2500 euros. Also, the daycare should then be gone. So, where to start in this implacable struggle to Vaccinate? The competent Robert-Koch Institute and Paul-Ehrlich-Institute, which may explain why it is important to vaccinate children as early as possible and also to maintain as an adult, the yellow vaccination card? Or when a cube of sugar, the some of knows from school times, associated with the Slogan: ""oral vaccination is sweet, polio is cruel""? After 1962, the Polio vaccination was introduced in Germany, decreased the number of deaths drastically. The last in Germany acquired case of polio has been almost 30 years. So how can you be against Vaccination? To understand this, you need to speak to those people who draw the meaning of vaccination in doubt. Especially since you can come up with the idea that a small child in the first two years, depending on the regimen of the six syringes is maltreated, in which per syringe up to six vaccines are, in fact, to Ponder. Can ask if your child grabs that. Some people are saying Yes, it didn't hurt the children's diseases at the time to go through. Before we go, so Vice versa. And speak with Impfgegnern. Not all opponents are willing to talk about How big this group is, is hard to say.

We will explain what vaccinations he provides for young children: Six weeks-old infants should receive a first vaccination with a rotavirus vaccine, a further part of vaccination impact. After two months, you should be against Tetanus, diphtheria, whooping cough, Hib, polio and Hepatitis B vaccinated (four vaccinations). In addition, an initial pneumococcal vaccine is recommended for vaccination, to which two more are to follow. With the end of the first year of life, children can be against meningococcal vaccinated against measles, Mumps, rubella, and chickenpox (the two part vaccinations). The cost for all the recommended vaccinations carries the health insurance. The kassenärztliche Vereinigung Bayerns (KVB) has listed for our editors, however, what is the fee of the doctor from the insurance company. For a 6-fold primary vaccination course (Tetanus, diphtheria, whooping cough, polio, Hib, Hepatitis B), it is 21,75 Euro.

Steffen Rabe criticized instead of more of the additives, the effect of amplifier aluminum hydroxide. View in the Neue Zürcher Zeitung, not necessarily the body and the stomach sheet of us is a unique combination. You logged-in 2015, that in an Australian study, rats that ""were fed with aluminum cans in the upper area of the in Western countries, the usual diet, increase the incidence of Alzheimer's-like memory problems tended to"". That women have often used aluminum-Deodorants, patients early breast cancer. But that man, by the food every day anyway ten to 40 milligrams of aluminum, of which he takes but only a fraction. And leaves it almost completely again. In a vaccination, only 0.125 to 0,850 milligrams of aluminum hydroxide are. Children doctor Raven says: ""Yes, that's true. But in the case of a vaccine we inject it directly into the muscle and it is excreted."" Although there is less harmful replacement for the vaccine efficacy, amplifier, aluminum hydroxide, calcium phosphate, for example. ""But the pharmaceutical industry would have to go through the incredibly complex procedure for authorisation of vaccines completely. Because she has no interest. And the policy of the will, to prescribe the missing."" Susanne Stöcker from the Paul-Ehrlich-Institut relativizes the subject.

"4711","New research from the Harvard Medical School show how the measles Virus damages the immune system of the body, and people prone to infections power, against which they were once immune. In the past ten years has shown that the measles vaccine protects not only one, but two ways: It not only prevents the well-known acute disease with pimples and fever, which brings children to the hospital, but seems to protect long-term against other infections. Some researchers suggest that the vaccine gives the immune system a General strengthening. Others think that the enhanced protective effect of the vaccine is due to the fact that he was preventing a measles infection itself. According to this theory, the Virus can impair the body's immune system and so-called immune weaknesses cause. By protection against measles infection, the vaccine prevents the body to be immune system out of balance, or “forgets” and keeps his resistance to other infections. Previous research has pointed to the impact of the Immunamnese and showed that the suppression of the immune system may persist after measles infection up to three years. Many scientists will discuss, however, is still which hypothesis is correct. Among the critical questions: If the immune deficiency is real, how exactly it comes about and how severe it is? Now a study by an international research provides team led by researchers at the Harvard Medical School, Brigham and Women's Hospital and the Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health provide the necessary answers. In an article in the journal Science, the researchers explain, protect, that the measles virus 11 to 73 percent of the different antibodies extinguishing the viral and bacterial strains, against which a Person was previously immune to the flu than the herpes virus to the bacteria, which cause pneumonia and skin infections. So, if a Person had smallpox 100 different antibodies against the wind, before she got infected with measles might have measles, with only 50 antibodies and chickenpox protection would be cut in half. This protection could be even lower if some of the lost anti body has a strong immune system, as neutralizing antibodies are known. “Imagine that your defences against pathogens such as the Wearing of a book with photos of Criminals and someone has punched a bunch of holes in it. It would then be much more difficult to identify these criminals, if one were to see him, especially if the holes are important features for the detection, such as eyes or mouth, would be punched,” says Michael Mina, assistant Professor of epidemiology at the Harvard T. H. Chan School of Public Health. The study is the first that measures the Virus-induced immune damage and the value of preventing measles infection by vaccination stresses, according to the authors. ""The threat to the people by measles is much greater than we have imagined so far. We now understand that the process of deletion of immune memory represents a continuing danger, which shows that the measles vaccine is of even greater Benefit than we thought,” says Stephen Elledge, Professor of genetics and medicine at the Blavatnik Institute of the Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women's Hospital. The discovery that measles anti-body-depleted Repertoire of the people and the reduce the Immune-memory part to the most frequently occurring pathogens, supports the hypothesis of the immune amnesia. ""This is the best evidence that an immune amnesia, and on our good, long-term immune memory effect,"" adds Michael Mina, who discovered in a study from the year 2015, for the first time, the epidemiological impact of measles on long-term child mortality. The current work of the team was released simultaneously with an article of a separate Teams in Science in Immunology, the supplementary conclusions by the measurement of the measles virus-induced changes in B-cells moved. An accompanying Editorial in Science in Immunology from Duane Wesemann, a Professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School at Brigham and Women's Hospital, puts these studies in context. Elledge, Mina and colleagues found that those who survive measles, and previous immunity to different viruses and bacteria, they are again exposed to long, if you again. Since this process can take months to years, are the people in the meantime, vulnerable for serious complications of these infections. In view of this finding, the researchers, should clinicians consider to strengthen the immunity of the patients, recovering from a measles infection, with a booster vaccination of all previous routine vaccines, such as Hepatitis and Polio. ""Re-vaccination against measles might contribute to the long-term to help alleviate Suffering that could be caused by an immune amnesia, and increased susceptibility to other infections,"" the authors wrote. Two steps forward, one step back measles, one of the most contagious diseases known to man, killed, according to the world health organization, an annual average of 2.6 million people before a vaccine was developed. Widespread vaccination has reduced the number of deaths. The lack of access to vaccination, and the refusal to be vaccinated, mean, however, that more than 7 million people are infected worldwide and each year, more than 100,000 people die, according to the WHO – and the number of cases has triple the beginning of 2019 tripled. According to the CDC, many people infected with measles have to be hospitalized in the United States, in a hospital. Some of them have to follow well-known long-term, including brain damage and Vision and hearing loss. Previous epidemiological studies on the immune amnesia suggest that the measles-attributable mortality rates could be even higher – you can make up to 50 percent of child mortality, when researchers deaths resulting from infections due to the harmful effects of measles on the immune system. Answers in the blood Possible, this new discovery was through VirScan, a Tool that was developed by Elledge and Tomasz Kula, graduate student in the Elledge Lab, 2015. VirScan detects anti-viral and anti-bacterial antibodies in the blood that are a result of current or previous encounters with viruses and bacteria, and gives an Overview of the entire immune system. Rik de Swart, one of the authors of the study, was collected during a measles outbreak in the Netherlands in 2013, blood samples from unvaccinated children. For the new study, the Elledge group, VirScan before used for the measurement of antibodies, and two months after the infection in 77 ill children from de Swarts samples. The researchers the measurements are also compared with those of 115 non-infected children and adults. As Kula was looking for a first set of these samples, he found the measles-infected children to a remarkable decrease of antibodies to other pathogens, which ""is clearly to have a direct effect on the immune system indicated"", according to the authors. The effect was similar to that of the Mina suspected that he induced a measles-immune amnesia could trigger. ""This was affect the first clear evidence that measles the level of protective antibodies and a process to support the immune amnesia,"" said Elledge. Then the Team, in collaboration with Diane Griffin of the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health has measured the antibodies in four rhesus monkeys, which are closely related to people related by blood, before and five months after a measles infection. This was a much longer period after infection as in the case of the Netherlands samples available. Similar to humans, the macaque lost, on average, 40 to 60 percent of their pre-existing antibodies against the viruses and bacteria which they were previously exposed to. Further testing showed that severe measles infection lowered the overall immunity of the people is stronger than a light infection. This could be for certain groups of children and adults is particularly problematic, the researchers said. The authors emphasize that in the current study, the observed effects have occurred in previously healthy children. As is known, malnourished children are affected by measles are much stronger, can be the extent of the immune amnesia and its effects in less healthy groups of the population is still serious. Vital vaccination, The vaccination with the MMR vaccine (measles, Mumps, rubella), the researchers impaired the General defenses of the children. The results are consistent with decades of research. The position of a widespread vaccination against measles would not only help to prevent 120,000 deaths a year are attributed solely to this year directly to the measles, but it could prevent the potentially hundreds of thousands of additional deaths, which are due to the permanent damage to the immune system, the authors stated. This makes it clear how important it is to understand the long-term impact of measles and to prevent, including stealth effects that have flown under the Radar of Doctors and parents . If your child gets the measles, and two years later will get pneumonia, you would not connect the two together. The symptoms of measles can be just the tip of the iceberg, the final conclusion of the scientists. This contribution deals with a medical issue, a health issue or to one or more disease patterns.

A... flashback with some diseases from the past, ""forgotten"" like the measles, we should be alert, as they have made their reappearance in Europe and in our country. Tuberculosis globally, tuberculosis causes most half of the deaths than in the ’90s. Even so, the deaths from tuberculosis around the world is those deaths from HIV. And the battle with the disease becomes much more difficult as the antibiotics used for the treatment of tuberculosis are not effective in some new executives. ""Tuberculosis is one of the most common infectious diseases in the world and continues to be a major public health problem, despite the fact that there are effective drugs for the treatment of. It causes over 1 million deaths a year, mainly in the developing world, while each year occur worldwide approximately 140 new cases per 100,000 population,"" notes the physician-infectious diseases Joseph Galen. Measles measles has made a comeback in the U.S. and in Europe with the <U+03B1><U+03BD><U+03B5>µß<U+03BF><U+03BB><U+03AF><U+03B1><U+03C3><U+03C4><U+03BF> population (children and adults) in danger of being stuck. The characteristic rash starts from face and spreads to the body. Children under the age of 5 and adults over 20 are more likely to develop serious complications, such as pneumonia or brain swelling. In these cases, the measles can be life-threatening – and indeed, in the last few years, we have been cases of deaths from measles in Greece.

According to the data of the European Centre for the Prevention and Control of Diseases, in order to achieve the goal of elimination of measles, the rates of vaccination coverage for children will need to be increased in some countries, the vaccination coverage of the second dose must be at least 95% in order to interrupt the circulation of measles and to achieve a collective immune. Mumps most people in Europe and in the western world have been vaccinated for the mumps (mumps), however occasionally there are outbreaks of the disease in various countries. For example, in the U.S. an epidemic of mumps a few years ago affected more than 3,000 people. Mumps can cause fever, headache and weakness. However, the main symptom is pain and swelling in the jaw and cheeks, in the section in front of the ears, the parotids. In rare cases it can cause swelling in the brain, the breasts, the ovaries and the testes. Whooping cough Characteristic of pertussis (whooping cough) are the paroxysms of cough. More than 48,000 people in the USA in 2012, became ill from pertussis (whooping cough) – the largest number since 1955. The disease can take up to 10 weeks or even more, and it is easily transmitted from one person to the other. It's a serious disease at any age, however it is considered life-threatening in babies, which often need hospitalization to the hospital. The best way of prevention is the vaccine. ""The vaccine pertussis (whooping cough) has saved hundreds of thousands of children around the world, where possible. It's sad to see again cases today,"" stresses the infectious diseases.

Science is close to eradicating polio, but there is still in some countries of the world. Partly this is due to the fact that the diagnosis is not always easy. In countries where it is inoculated the entire population can be spread before they even got the doctors to control it. As the polio affects the brain, can be life-threatening or cause permanent problems, such as paralysis. Syphilis and chlamydia antibiotics used for the treatment of sexually transmitted diseases, such as, for example, for the gonococcus that causes gonorrhea, are showing resilience. In the united states the syphilis had almost disappeared, but the last 20 years is back and at a higher frequency than ever. As for the chlamydia, the most common STDS, it also becomes more difficult to treat them. Condoms are still the best way of prevention. ""The toughness of microbes is an emerging problem in the western world. The World Health Organization has sounded the alarm, as well as the polypharmacy and the excessive use of antibiotics can bring us again face to face with diseases that we thought have been put under control or gone,"" explains Joseph Galen. Legionnaires ' disease May sound like something out of a movie era, but it seems that the outbreaks are increasing in the last few years. This is an infection of the lungs due to the inhalation of water droplets that have the bacteria legionella. It starts with symptoms that resemble the flu, but soon presented with persistent cough, chest pains and shortness of breath. Antibiotics can cure the disease, but if left without treatment, can lead to serious health problems, especially in older adults.

The vaccinations will take place every Tuesday and Wednesday, hours 12:00 to 15:00, in the offices of the Association (Ag. Constantine 5 Piraeus, 7th floor, next to the Municipal Theater). In accordance with the ESP, the last period of time, have occurred in severe epidemic outbreaks of measles in several European countries. During the period 2016 – 2017 have been recorded more than 14,000 cases in the whole of Europe, and 41 deaths. In neighboring Italy have appeared 3.300 cases and 2 deaths. According to the CDC, and the ministry of Health, while in the previous years in our country recorded on a very small number of sporadic cases, in the last 4 months have been recorded 100 incidents and the risk of spread of disease is real. Measles is a viral disease caused by the virus of measles.

Bear in mind also, that the registration of cases began a year ago. The epidemic is in progress in other european countries, notably in Italy, Bulgaria, Romania, France. Bear in mind that in Europe, they have so far recorded more than 20,000 cases. As stated in the report of the CDC, measles occurs with greater frequency in Southern Greece, especially in Attica, while in the last period there has been an increase in the incidence of measles, and in Northern Greece.

"28217","A lot of talk about measles lately, the flare that shows in the whole of Europe and our country and the neglect of some as to the adequate vaccination. It is appropriate therefore to clarify who should proceed directly to vaccination! First of all, you need to divide the population into two basic age categories: Those born before 1970 (when there was no vaccine) and those who were born after 1970... The first (born before 1970) are considered to have become infected in childhood and have antibodies. If you don't know however with certainty that they have suffered in childhood from measles, we need to do a test antibody to measles that will verify beyond any doubt whether they have immunity or not. Second, those that were born after 1970, and they know that they have done the two doses of the MMR vaccine, there is no risk. But those who have done only one dose, and not repetitive, you have to be quick to make and the second dose of the vaccine as well as uncovered towards the virus it is to be noted affecting most heavy adults compared with children. Especially those who work in the structures of health care (hospitals, clinics, rehabilitation centers, nursing homes etc) or in schools in all levels of education, are the first that must be tested for antibodies to do and the two doses. To emphasize that in pregnant women have not made the vaccine single measles or triple MMR. They can however, as many are not immune to doing it after giving birth. If a woman vaccinated with the vaccine for measles you don't have to stay pregnant for the next 4 weeks. Specifically, CDC recommends what is referred to in the circular of the general secretary of Public Health, John <U+039C><U+03C0><U+03B1><U+03C3><U+03BA><U+03CC><U+03B6><U+03BF><U+03C5>: on the occasion of the epidemic outbreak of measles in many European countries, and recently in Greece, the National Committee on Vaccination recommends that: - direct vaccination with the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR vaccine) of children, adolescents and adults who have not been vaccinated with the necessary doses. According to the National Immunization Schedule, children, adolescents, and adults born after 1970 and does not have a history of disease should be <U+03B5>µß<U+03BF><U+03BB><U+03B9><U+03C3>µ<U+03AD><U+03BD><U+03BF><U+03B9> with 2 doses of vaccine for measles (in the form of monovalent measles vaccine or a mixed vaccine MMR). - the performance of 1 dose of MMR vaccine at the age of 12 months and the carrying out of the 2nd dose of three (3) months after the 1 dose or –if it has elapsed the time– as soon as possible. In cases of high risk, the 2nd dose can be done with an interval of at least 4 weeks from 1.

Vaccination against measles became mandatory last month after the declaration of a state of emergency, but so far only concerned the children. Now the government of Samoa has decided to extend it to the entire population. According to official data released on Wednesday, 4/12, 60 people have died from the measles, of which 52 children under the age of 4 years. It is significant that in 24 hours were recorded 171 new cases, while the total from the October outbreak of the epidemic in Samoa have been recorded so far 4.052.

The cases of measles are on the rise worldwide, even in rich countries such as Germany and the USA, as well as the parents choose their children not to be inoculated, citing religious beliefs, the philosophical approaches and their fears – which scientists have repeatedly shot down – that vaccines can cause autism. Other states, either because of poverty, either due to a lack of planning, have left levels of immunisation to retreat, leaving young children vulnerable to a virus that attacks aggressively the immune system.

This is now discussed in a cross-party controversy. IMAGE answers five important questions on the topic of measles. What is measles? Measles are one of the classic children's diseases, but can also occur in adolescents and adults. The viruses are transmitted from person to person and are highly contagious. They are transmitted when Talking, coughing or Sneezing by fine saliva droplets. Unfortunately, several days before the typical skin rash Infected contagious are.

Month is recommended, if the child is accommodated at this time already in a day care or contact to measles was sick. The second vaccination must then be made correspondingly earlier. Also Interesting is The vaccination is often done in the context of a combination vaccination against measles, Mumps and rubella (MMR vaccination). Currently, a single vaccination in Germany is not possible. When I need to refresh? If two measles vaccinations were carried out, does not need to be refreshed. In the vaccination card for a child age two measles immunizations should be. If the vaccination card was lost, then Doctors who performed the vaccinations can be documented, the later again.

Measles vaccination 2019: draft law for compulsory vaccination In several regions in Germany, the measles 2019 spread unusually strong.

He answered important questions on the topic of measles. What is measles ? The measles disease is a viral disease caused by the measles virus. Measles are characterized by a high infection rate. It is, therefore, a rapid spread. What happens after an infection in the body? The Virus penetrates through the mucous membrane by a droplet infection in the body and multiplies initially in an uncontrolled manner. In the course of the immune system fights the Virus. Can I also get the measles if I am vaccinated? A fully completed vaccination course, which consists of two individual vaccinations, the protection of 99 percent. A hundred percent protection the vaccination will not achieve. Many people are also vaccinated, also decreases the individual risk of infection. What are the symptoms when you got infected? At the beginning of an infection, it is rather General infection signs such as lethargy and fever this flu-like stage, a phase of the Disease, in the typical measles rash occurs. Then it comes to frequent and feared complications such as ear infections, pneumonia or encephalitis (inflammation of the brain). Measles : Who is most at risk? Basically, the person in each age group is at risk. A Problem is the infection of infants. Since the vaccination is scheduled to take place at the end of the first year of life, the infants are still exposed and can become infected easily, even though their parents have planned a vaccination. Who should be vaccinated? All children should start at the end of the first year of life, the vaccination series can be completed with the beginning of the second year of life, with the second vaccination. Also for 1970-born adults, a single catch-up vaccination can be displayed, especially when as yet no second vaccination is done. How often do you have to get a measles vaccination? The full course of vaccination vaccination consists of two Single. The second vaccination should, at the earliest, four weeks after the first successes. How long is measles contagious? In General, until four days after the appearance of the measles rash. However, you as a Patient already days before the outbreak of the disease is contagious to others, what is the benefit of a spread of very. How long the illness lasts? The entire acute phase of the Disease may extend with individual Differences over two to three weeks. Very much a late-onset side effect, the SSPE (subacute sclerosing Pananzephalitis) is feared. This comes years after the acute disease to inflammation and destruction of brain and nerve tissue, which usually leads to the death of the patient. Measles encephalitis: What is it? It is an acute inflammation of the brain tissue, which can also be used, such as the measles infection itself, not the cause treated. How can I protect myself from a measles infection? The safest protection against measles disease vaccination is. This is well-tolerated and safe. Why is measles so dangerous and can be fatal? There are severe forms with organ complications (see above). The disease can be treated with drugs also do not treat. You have to be limited to the treatment of individual symptoms, such as fever or pain reduction. Why are measles to be reported? The infection protection act, with its reporting requirement is for the protection of the population.

"4325","On the need for a mandatory vaccination against measles As useful and, above all, the importance of measles vaccination to public health, to prevent severe illness and death? In the face of a craftsman, skilled Bank businessman and pharmaceutical lobbyists who want to discuss health measures and measures intended for the protection of an entire Nation, it gives me to think but very. So, if you look at the following graphic. Thereafter, the priorities should be placed differently, to throb, rather than a mandatory vaccination against measles and to sell this measure as a great success. I want to say this is not a vaccination against measles is pointless and unnecessary, but, under the circumstances, is questionable. Issues of the vaccine and its adjuvants To these circumstances include: 1) the conventional vaccines, a combination vaccine against Mumps, measles, rubella, and chicken pox. 2) antigens: an Italian research group demonstrated for 2018 in the MMRV vaccine Priorix tetra antigens of the rubella Virus. In addition, wind pox, Mumps and measles virus mutations. 3) It has been demonstrated in the vaccine of foreign DNA. 4) It is also foreign to the virus, such as human Retrovirus K and the Equine Infectious anemia Virus, detected the avian leukosis Virus, and HERV-H. 5) As with any vaccine, there is no 100 %protection. So Mitchell and Tingle were able to demonstrate that 1 year after vaccination, more than 16 % of the Vaccinated were not Vaccinated (Mitchell LA, Tingle AJ, Decarie D, Lajeunesse C.: Serologic responses to measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine in healthy infants: failure to respond to measles and mumps components may influence decisions on timing of the second dose of MMR.Can J Public Health. 1998 Sep-Oct",8,"germany"

In order to achieve herd immunity against measles should be vaccinated at least 95 percent. It is only then that the would be protected, which can not be vaccinated, for example because you are ill or too young. Robert Koch Institute, we calculated a slightly higher ratio, The Robert Koch Institute (RKI) was the last one to a slightly higher result. But that is also due to the fact that, in the context of the school entrance examinations only a part of the children is recorded, namely the one that can present a Vaccination card were the 91.6 per cent of children. Of them, 92.8 percent had a complete Vaccination against measles, a value of the RKI does not accept that he is achieved of the entirety of the school beginners. In a first reaction on the Numbers of Barmer, the Robert Koch Institute, pointed out that it will stay open, ""how representative this assures clientele for Germany is"". The RKI use for his continuous evaluations of the Insured, among other things, secondary data for all legally to him by all the associations of accredited physicians (kvs) are provided, as well as vaccination data, which are transmitted in accordance with the infection protection act of the Federal States for the school entrance examinations. Spahn wants to vaccination against measles Federal Minister of health, Jens Spahn (CDU) wants the vaccination against measles is mandatory. ""This is very urgent, measles are, firstly, highly contagious,"" says Spahn. ""Even if one coughs in the room, can infect ten employees. And it can take a very dangerous course. To pneumonia, brain inflammation, in rare cases – but it happens also in Germany – to the death. And it is easily avoidable."" Jens Spahn (CDU), Federal Minister of health Spahns draft law provides that children who go to daycare or school, must be vaccinated. The same applies to educators, teachers, medical staff and asylum seekers in community shelters. Otherwise fines in the amount of up to 2,500 euros will threaten. The ethics Council is against General vaccination Peter Dabrock, Professor at the faculty of theology of the Friedrich-Alexander-University of Erlangen-Nuremberg and is Chairman of the German ethics Council, is a General Impfplicht against measles too far, he feared even a negative impact. To ""the well-intentioned aim with the crowbar to realize, is not going to be successful."" Peter Dabrock, Chairman of the German ethics Council From his point of view, there might even be a danger to jeopardize the ""currently high vaccination Coverage in Germany,"" says Dabrock. The German ethics Council recommends that more advice and vaccination campaigns in nurseries and schools, so the Coverage is better.

"6818","ROME – Clear the memory of the immune system. The measles virus is revealed two times dangerous, given that it is capable of wiping out up to 73% of the antibodies that defend our body from diseases including the flu, herpes, and pneumonia. The result is due to two international studies published in the journals Science and Science Immunology and conducted on a group of 77 children protestant orthodox non-vaccinated that was found in “amnesia immune” after infection by the measles. The first study was conducted by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Boston, in collaboration with the Harvard Medical School and the Erasmus University Medical Center Rotterdam. The researchers used the test VirScan to measure in the blood of the children levels of thousands of antibodies directed against viruses and bacteria. The examination, made before the measles, and two months after the infection, revealed that the disease clears from 11% to 73% of the defenses antibody. The same test is repeated on the macaques first of the measles and five months after the infection, has confirmed the loss of 60% of the antibodies. A similar result was obtained in the second study, conducted by the british Wellcome Sanger Institute in collaboration with the University of Amsterdam. Measles, therefore, result in the loss of specific cells of the immune memory, leaving the children vulnerable as infants are unable to respond to new infections. Studies underlining the dangers of measles and the effectiveness of the vaccine, which has benefits higher than expected: the vaccination, in fact, has broken down to 80% of the cases of measles in the world between 2000 and 2017, saving 2.1 million of lives, but because of the most recent campaigns, no-vax, the trend was reversed, so that the number of cases from 2018 to the present day is increased by 300%. According to the latest report of the Institute of Health, are 1.596 cases of measles reported from the first of January to the 30 of September 2019, with death from respiratory complications in an adult of 45 years old is not vaccinated and with concomitant diseases.

"6825","Continues the alarm on measles in Italy: according to the latest data released by the Higher Institute of Health from 1 January to 30 September have been reported 2.295 cases of measles in our Country. Lombardy in August was in the fourth place in the ranking for the number of infections. The point is that 91.1% of infected people was not vaccinated, 5.6 had carried out a single dose, 1.4% had received both doses, and 1.9 does not remember if and when he was subjected to prophylaxis. So if the presence of the non-vaccinated among health care workers remains an obvious problem, with 100 cases reported, that is, 4.4% of the total, also the coverage among adolescents and young adults is a topic of discussion these days in the Ministry of Health. In 2018, the majority of infections (over 60 percent) has occurred between the 15-39enni, with a prevalence of 85 cases per million inhabitants. One in five, however, involved children less than 5 years, which, however, are subject to. Already in August was tripped the alarm with 4.032 cases registered in Italy on 13 thousand cases in total (between may 2017 and may 2018) in Europe, followed by Greece (2.752), France (2.436) and Romania (2.127). Not only that, in the ranking of the Italian Lombardy region, with 131 cases, it will be the fourth Italian region in the ranking for the number of infections. The measles, perhaps, is a disease that is not considered in all its seriousness by the majority of people, and yet can have very serious consequences: nearly half of the sick, 48.9%, and has developed complications while 59.5% of patients overall was rushed to the hospital. Not only that, the administration of two doses scheduled in the calendar of compulsory in children (the first between the 12th and the 15th month of life) and the second between 5 and 6 years, does not make them immune for life, you need a booster in adolescence. And it is among adolescents and young adults, the age group that escapes the cover. Because of this, the Ministry together with other ministries or departments are studying measures that can encourage young adults to undergo prophylaxis. Among the hypotheses: a facilitation of mechanisms linked to the system of public competitions, and the course of academic studies or agreements with the sports federations to find incentives for young athletes. The objective is to avoid recourse to a mandatory immunization for young people and adults, but to focus on incentive mechanisms. ""In Lombardy - says the regional councillor for Welfare Giulio explore the old - we have the highest rate of vaccinated children in the country. Of course, any tool will serve to increase the vaccination coverage is useful, but I'd rather a cultural issue. I think, for example, information campaigns to courses pre-delivery counselling sessions, in schools, in places of aggregation, and to root the concept of the value of the importance of vaccinations"". What do you think of the project of the ministry? ""I repeat, I think that the provoke a change of mentality (the phenomenon of hesitation vaccination is very common in Italy is studied by the world Health Organization) is more useful than introducing a practical advantage. That said, it certainly has not helped the fact that it is not the past, the obligation for operators health and body taught."" In the same way, the vacillations of the government in September certainly didn't help. The government chooses a line and bring it forward.""",8,"italy"

"6828","ROME – Are now nearly 2,600 since the beginning of the year the cases of measles registered in Italy, an increase of 600 percent compared to the previous year. And among these we also count 155 infants with less than twelve months, or subjects for which the disease can be particularly dangerous. Remain high, the number of complications recorded, while four out of ten cases, it was necessary to the patient. And’ what emerges from the ninth bulletin weekly to monitor the epidemic in the course of our Country, by the Ministry of Health and Istituto superiore della sanita (ISS). In particular, in the month of may of last year, the cases were 82, and a third of those registered in the first three weeks of may 2017, equal to 246. Compared to 2.581 outbreaks registered between 1 January 2017 and 21 may 2017, 91% of the cases come from seven Regions: Piemonte, Lazio, Lombardia, Toscana, Abruzzo, Veneto and Sicily. In particular, 759 were in the only Lazio, 571 in Piedmont, 355 Lombardy.

"6829","Measles: an infectious disease that infects mostly children between 1 and 3 years, but unfortunately because of a lack of vaccinations performed in the last decades, today, it affects a large percentage of adults also. Epidemic measles in Sicily a Few days ago in the Garibaldi hospital-Catania city Centre is now a child of 10 months, infected by the measles virus from her mother, who is not being vaccinated, he contracted the disease. The little one has died due to complications of respiratory and cardiovascular disease, also because it is already suffering from a heart defect. The director of the intensive care ward of the Garibaldi Hospital-Catania city centre, Sergio Pintaudi, has declared that ”The child had not yet the age to be vaccinated, and then contracted the disease from those who were not vaccinated, and reaffirmed the importance of the vaccines that not only protect those who make them but those who still can't do them.” In Sicily you have registered in the last 2 months, more than 400 cases of the contagion of measles, with 4 deaths. What is relevant, is that the greatest percentage of infected people are adults and not children and this is because in the last few decades, immunizations have collapsed, have been very few person to be vaccinated, and this has caused an epidemic of the disease. Measles: The importance of the vaccine With the introduction of the requirement of vaccines, 10 infectious diseases, the covers have gone back to above 90% for the children, and then to get sick are more adults. Gianni Rezza, director of the department of epidemiology at the national Institute of Health, has explained that the effects of the law make-up of the compulsory vaccinations, has protected the children and not the adults, then you must bear in mind that even adults can be vaccinated free of charge and, above all, is imported in the presence of other pathologies. Adults infected by measles virus are more at risk of complications, which are not few, with respect to children. One adult out of three infected with measles was hospitalized or turned to the emergency room. After the excessive cases of measles in the month of march, April and may of 2017, more than 2,600 infected in all of Italy, it is assisted to a significant reduction in cases, but at the beginning of 2018, it is registered again an increase of the contagion and to the Epicenter, the national Center for the prevention of diseases of the Istituto superiore di sanita, Sicily, in these two months of the beginning of 2018, is the region with the highest percentage of infection of the virus of measles and rubella. Only Catania have recorded 200 cases of measles on 411 total in Sicily. This is perhaps why the percentage of vaccination does not even reach 85% coverage. To be quiet to keep under control the epidemic, the percentage should reach at least 90 or 95% coverage, the so-called “immunity of the herd”, if the majority of the population is vaccinated the disease will not spread and can protect even those who can not get vaccinated because they are too small or for other medical reasons. The law Lorenzin decree law of 7 June 2017 no. 73, as amended by the law of 31 July, no. 119, has made it compulsory for 10 types of vaccinations administered free of charge to the entire population. In spite of the many manifestation of the contrast of this law has borne fruit for increasing at least among children, the percentage of vaccinations. Even if the data are not definitive, but it is almost reached 95% of vaccinated in almost all of Italy, even if there are some regions in which the rate of the vaccinated is still too low, as for example the Veneto region where there are still 8.500 children not vaccinated, the Tuscany, with 13,000 in the Marche, instead, with 14,000, a high percentage of vaccinated are found in Lazio, Umbria and Puglia.

To give the alarm is the minister of Health Beatrice Lorenzin, who speaks of “numbers alarming”, and calls the application “immediate” Plan to Vaccines. To the front of the 844 reported in 2016, beginning of 2017 have already been registered more than 700, with an increase of over 230% compared to the same period of the previous year, in which there had been 220 cases. The majority were reported from only 4 Regions: Piemonte, Lazio, Lombardia and Toscana. “Most of the mid – informs the Ministry – it applies to persons 15 to 39 years, and were also notified several cases of transmission in health care and in health care workers”. The strong increase, as it is now stranoto, ”is in large part due to the increasing number of parents who refuse the vaccination, despite the evidence established, and despite the measures of some regions that tend to improve the covers, interacting with the families and parents.” Explains the ministry in a note: the measles continues to circulate in our Country, ”because of the presence of pockets of susceptible populations, are not vaccinated or who has not completed the vaccination cycle at 2 doses”. The Ministry will activate “all possible steps to ensure the full realization of the objectives of the recent national Plan for the prevention, vaccination, and in order to regain quickly the vaccination coverage that have drooped dangerously over the last few years,” said Lorenzin. “Despite the Plan for the elimination of measles started in 2005, and the vaccination against measles is among those that are highly recommended and free of charge, in 2015, the vaccination coverage against measles in children at 24 months (cohort 2013) was 85,3% (with the lowest value equal to the 68% registered in the province of Bolzano and the highest in Lombardy with the 92,3%), still far from the 95% that is the threshold value necessary to stop the circulation of the virus in the population.” “It is now vital – adds the minister – to intervene quickly with a commitment and a greater responsibility at all levels, from all of the institutions and of health professionals, to make this vaccination available, increasing the acceptance and demand from the population. Similarly, the regional administrations and health companies, as well as pediatricians and general practitioners should promote a campaign of further accountability on the part of parents and of people is not immune to all ages so do not give up this vital opportunity to prevent a disease that can be lethal.” The goal of eradication of measles from Europe had to be reached in 2015, and instead, the continent is still grappling with several outbreaks.

"6905","A large outbreak of measles has hit the region of the former province of Katanga, in the south-east of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). Declared in march 2018, it is widespread in a wide area, such as Spain and have reached mortality rates extremely high, in particular among children under 5 years of age. Our team have started a prolonged vaccination campaign which has allowed us to immunize 231.646 children even in remote areas and difficult to reach. The Dr. ssa Natalie Roberts, coordinator of the emergency for MSF, describes the difficulties in responding to the epidemic in an area so complex. What is the situation in Katanga? In march 2018 has been declared an outbreak of measles in several health districts in the provinces of Haut-Katanga, Haut-Lomami, Lualaba, and Tanganyika, which for a time formed the province of Katanga. The epidemic has spread in the course of the year. By December, all the health districts of the four provinces have declared a confirmed or suspected cases of measles. These provinces cover an area as large as Spain, and in their more remote areas of the community live scattered in villages difficult to reach. Already before the outbreak, the health needs pediatric they were huge in the area. What is the best response to an outbreak of measles on so large a scale? Epidemics of measles spread in areas where it has not been vaccinated a number of persons sufficiently large. To protect a population must be vaccinated, 90-95% of people, even better if 100%. Vaccinating the community as soon as we find the first cases of measles, we try to avoid that children in the area could contract the disease and that the epidemic will spread. To get the best result from mass vaccination, we should focus on the areas where the epidemic has just begun, as we are doing now in the province of Lualaba. But sometimes it is already too late and not possible. In areas that for several months, have already suffered an epidemic important, a campaign of mass vaccination is not necessarily the most appropriate response. Often discover the epidemic early on is difficult, because it takes time to get a confirmation for the biological cases in Kinshasa, where is the only authorized laboratory in the Country. Also the distribution of vaccines and medical supplies in these remote areas can be extremely complex and time-consuming. When the epidemic has already struck a community, the mass vaccination alone has a limited impact. The vaccine is not a cure for the children already affected by measles. But if you are unable to access these areas, the children of the sick can be treated as soon as they are identified. Even when an epidemic of measles is already widespread, we can still save lives by treating children suffering from measles and from other diseases. What can be the causes of the high mortality rate among children? In children affected by measles there is a high risk of developing other serious conditions, such as severe malnutrition or infections of the respiratory tract. In addition, the children of this region often suffer from also of malaria. It is very difficult to ensure that children living in more remote areas can have access to basic health care, and it is for this reason that arriving late to the hospitals. Many children never manage to gain access to medical treatment and are never vaccinated. The information collected in the local communities indicate that the mortality rate among children under 5 years of age is extremely high in some areas of the province Haut-Lomami. Many children die in the community, and their death is not always registered. What they are doing, the team of MSF? MSF has launched in march an emergency response in the province of Haut-Katanga. From march to September, teams from MSF have vaccinated 231.646 children and cared 3.334 cases of measles in several areas. 231.646 Children vaccinated Children vaccinated 3.334 Cases of measles Have committed a significant amount of resources in the province Haut-Lomami, especially in the health districts most affected by the epidemic in the course. From December 2018 to February 2019, in cooperation with the local Ministry of Health, our team have taken care of 393 children suffering from acute forms of measles in the local hospitals, and 2.957 milder cases in outpatient settings. We have vaccinated 64.629 children against the measles, even in Malemba-Nkulu (Haut-Lomami) and we are continuing to vaccinate in the other areas. Our priority is to use the mobile clinics to try to reach out to children who live in the areas most severely affected, to treat the children within their community and to vaccinate those not vaccinated. But we encounter huge logistical difficulties. In the region there are no roads and the journey can be extremely difficult, especially in the rainy season. To move between the different regions can take days, even with off-road vehicles. To reach the most remote locations we have to use a motorcycle or even a canoe, which makes it impossible to transport large quantities of medicines, vaccines and therapeutic food. This outbreak is unusual for the region? Since 2011, the former province of Katanga is affected by serious epidemics of measles every two to three years. The local Ministry of Health meets with the same difficulties that meet us, a shortage of medical supplies in health districts because of transport difficulties",8,"italy"

But already now, the picture is alarming: globally, the cases of measles are up 300 percent in the first three months of 2019 in comparison to the same period in 2018, which, in turn, had registered a considerable increase compared to the previous year. A couple of years to this part, in short, the trend of the infectious disease is unambiguous: the cases of the infection are constantly growing. In many Countries of the world there are outbreaks in the course, especially in poor Countries with low vaccination coverage rates such as the Democratic republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Madagascar (1200 deaths), the Philippines, Thailand and the Ukraine, which has registered in the current year 30 thousand infections and 11 deaths. But, as we have seen, the measles does not spare the richer Countries with a population that is mostly vaccinated, such as the United States and Israel. In these cases, outbreaks generally have their origin in closed communities frequented by persons not vaccinated for religious or ideological reasons. People that are seriously risk their health and that of other individuals, who for medical reasons cannot undergo the vaccine. The experts Who remind us that measles is a highly contagious disease and potentially lethal in 2017 resulted in about 110 thousand dead. Brain damage, blindness and hearing loss are among the likely consequences of a disease that is totally preventable. The two doses of the vaccine for measles completely eliminate (almost) the risk of contagion. Unfortunately, however, the vaccine coverage overall for the first dose it stops at 85 per cent and for the second at 67 percent, against 95 percent of the necessary to stop the spread of the virus. As already mentioned, the estimates of the report, at this point of the year, they are certainly far to defect from the definitive ones, set for next July. According to the forecast of the Who, less than 1 case of measles on 10 is registered globally. Taking this into account, experts have calculated that in the first months of the 2019 there were 112.163 cases reported in 170 Countries. Last year at the same period, there were 28mila. In 2019 there were so 85mila cases, which is equivalent to an average increase of 300 per cent, with a peak in the Africa of 700 percent and in Europe by as much as 300 percent.

They arrived to 4 thousand, and one from the beginning of the year, in the week between 3rd July and 6th August, and arrived at 4.087. The indicates the last bulletin by the ministry of Health and the Istituto superiore di sanita (Iss), based on data from the surveillance System integrated measles and rubella. In 2017 there were 3 deaths from the infection. 89% of the patients was not vaccinated, 6% was vaccinated with only 1 dose. In addition, 35% had at least one complication, and 42% have been hospitalized, and 22% was visited in the emergency room. Go up to the 275 cases among health care workers as among the most affected regions we still find a Latium (1.333 cases), Lombardia (665) and Piedmont (603). The average age of patients is 27 years. According to the Children's Fund of the United Nations, the virus “kills every year approximately 132mila children: 15 per hour, every hour of every day of the year“. “If the vaccination coverage in Italy were to continue to decline continues, Iacomini – there is a real risk of return to see in our Country, scenes that we were hoping to be cast out for ever, and the families who mourn the loss of a child for the fault of a disease that could be avoided with a simple vaccine free of charge. The measles, let us remember, is not a trivial cold. There is no specific medicine to combat it, and in the younger children, and with immune system more fragile and can have complications-lethal”, he stresses. It would indeed be tragic if, after having fought without respite to drastically reduce the effects of measles anywhere in the world, we see that for prejudice and ignorance we have left to re-enter this virus in our homes. We are in favour of any measure that the ministry of Health will undertake to protect the children in Italy by this renewed threat,” concludes Iacomini. Between 2000 and 2015, the vaccine of measles saved the life of 20.3 million people. But the problem is not with just this disease. Of the 10.7 million infants born each year in the continent, approximately 650,000 do not receive the full series of three doses of vaccine against diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis in the first year. “The benefits of vaccines are a fact, not an opinion” reaffirm the Eu and the Who pointing out that vaccines have saved more lives of children than any other medical intervention”.",8,"italy"

Each year, 21 million children were not vaccinated against most infectious diseases in existence. In 2017, in died, of which 110 000 people, the vast majority of children at risk from measles. The number of infections in the first quarter of this year increased by 300% compared to the same period in 2018. The number of infections in Europe, is over 20 years, is not an all-time high and the United States of america United States of america suffering from the largest outbreak of measles in nearly two decades. For every 1000 people who get infected, there will be between one and three persons (mostly children) die. Those who survive the risk of serious complications such as blindness, encephalitis, or longonsteking. The United States is at the top of the list of high-income countries, where the vaccination rate is falling. Between 2010 and 2017, more than 2.5 million children around the world do not get vaccinated with the first dose of the mazelenvaccin. In France, it is in the same time period for the 600,000 children in the United Kingdom, for 500,000. In poorer countries, the situation is critical, said Unicef. Nigeria missed out of nearly 4 million children with the first dose of the vaccine. In India, there were 2.9 million are in Pakistan and Indonesia, both of them, 1.2 million in Ethiopia, 1.1 million of them. In many countries, including 20 countries in sub-Saharan Africa is the second-vaccinatieronde not even be implemented, which are 17 million infants are at an increased risk of infection walk. Henrietta Fore, the executive director of Unicef, The foundation for the global mazelenuitbraken that we're seeing now is a few years ago, it has already been laid. The measles virus, it will ongevaccineerde always know where to find it. If we are serious about the spread of this dangerous and prevent disease in want to fight, we need every child to be vaccinated. In rich and poor countries. The doctor, Robin Nandy, head of the virus, Unicef is this: I am extremely worried and everyone else should be worried. We have now for decades as a vaccine. It is inexpensive, effective, safe, and widely available. However, we observe from anywhere in the world and potential outbreaks. We know that children in areas of conflict, and some of the urban slums is more difficult to have access to the vaccine, but at the same time, there are outbreaks in Europe, Japan and the united states, and that is very disappointing. The mazelenvaccin is essential when it comes to the field of public health. Nandy is worried that the people of the vulnerabilities associated with declining vaccination rates results in underestimated: There should be a vaccination rate of 95 per cent, and many countries with much difficulty that 92 percent of the time. This means that there are areas where vaccination rates are lower, and there is, therefore, a group of disadvantaged children to be concentrated at a particular location. As soon as the infection happens to spread the virus like wildfire, and it will be 90 per cent of the children get sick. Cc photo: Pan American Health Organization",8,"netherlands"
"7878","Have you ever heard of the measles, mumps, to be heard, after all, it is a very common childhood illness. Measles is a contagious disease, and is one of the most besmettelijkste diseases in the world. In the Netherlands, most of the children from the measles vaccination. The vaccine is in the MMR vaccine is offered to children aged 14 months and 9 years of age. This vaccine also protects against mumps and rubella. How do you get infected? The virus is found in the nose, mouth, and throat. Measles is transmitted by droplets of moisture that are exhaled or it can be spread by sneezing and/or coughing by someone who is infected. The amount of time between being infected and becoming sick is between 7 to 14 days. Usually it is 10 working days. People may have already inflicted, as from 4 days before the spots start. They will continue to be contagious up to 4 days after the spots appeared. Symptoms of Measles starts with a fever, cough, oogontstekeing and the sniffles. After about a two-to-four-day arise from red spots. If you are unlucky the virus can also be a middle ear infection can cause diarrhea. In the most severe cases it can cause pneumonia, convulsions or encephalitis. We are very happy that they did it! The major exception is In very rare cases, it causes measles, mumps, encephalitis, which is, on average, only 7 years after the disease begins, and is always fatal. For young children, teens, adults, and people with weakened immune systems have an increased risk of serious illness if they have the disease, than in healthy children at primary school age. They are the center have? Anyone who has never had the disease, so even if you get a vaccination you have had. Just as that, a little less for it. Do you have they are so expensive. Then, you will never get the measles. Risks? The risk of dying of the patients with measles in the Netherlands is less than 1 in 1000 cases. In the developing world are dying, it is estimated that about 330 children each day, these need. Prior to the introduction of the mazelenvaccinatie in the Netherlands in 1976, has made nearly everyone in the childhood measles, mumps, and on. There were, therefore, every year, hundreds of thousands of patients in the Netherlands. Since the introduction of vaccination, the disease is much less common, and is usually about 10 times per year. At increased risk are people who are worse, be ill of the measles, such as infants and people with impaired immune systems, and pregnant women. The very young (<1 year) and especially neonates of non-immune mothers have a higher risk of serious complications and death. How long does it take to get sick? A child with measles, mumps, healing usually takes 7 to 10 working days. Care and treatment as much as possible, to prevent infection, use a paper handkerchief, which you are right after using away it. You have a cough? A cough in the bend of your elbow. Always wash your hands after you sneeze or cough. Measles, mumps, tend to be self-limiting which drugs are not considered necessary. Your child, however, a high fever or more severe symptoms? Please refer to the general practitioner. Will your child's middle ear infection by the disease, and he did drugs to get in. If your child is at risk from measles, tell the teacher, or the teacher. They may, in consultation with the health authorities of the other parents to inform them. Parents are then able to focus on the symptoms of measles among their children. The center-to-school? There is a big chance that the baby is a couple of days too sick for school, you will feel it. If he feels better, he is allowed to go to school. The disease is contagious from 4 days before to 4 days after the onset of the rash, so thuishouden, it helps not to spread to avoid it. Measles, mumps, and pregnancy, There is evidence to suggest that pregnant women have an increased risk of a severe course of measles. The experience of the measles vaccine during pregnancy was not associated with an increased risk of birth defects. However, the experience of measles during the pregnancy, in rare cases, lead to a spontaneous abortion, or premature birth. For more information, see The center, How do you deal with them?

"7879","Children with measles are more susceptible to other diseases. This is because of the virus, as their immune system is disturbed, discovered by researchers from Amsterdam, the UNIVERSITY medical centre and the Wellcome Sanger Institute in Cambridge. The measles virus will erase the memory cells of the immune system. Therefore, forget about the "" how "" of the disease will need to combat and you will be much more susceptible to other diseases. Normally it will restore the immune system to rapidly, but 10 percent of the cases, this doesn't happen. Professor Colin Russell, one of the researchers of the Amsterdam UNIVERSITY medical centre, explains: “the children are five-to-ten years to get their immune system to recover and be all the time a strong increase of the staff. You can get the effect of comparison with a child that medication is given to suppress the immune system, for example, after a lung transplant.” For the study, blood samples from children in the Dutch bible belt, in use.

"7882","Vaccination against measles has been a huge success. In fact, it will prevent more deaths than the number of children that formerly died of the measles. Scientists at the Erasmus MC in Rotterdam together with the American colleagues for an explanation. After the transition of the center to continue to have children, more than two years are susceptible to infection. The vaccine protects not only against measles, but also of mortality from other infectious diseases. Measles virus Cynthia S. Goldsmith, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Public Health Image Library (PHIL), Cynthia S. Goldsmith, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Public Health Image Library (PHIL), Measles, mumps, and included in the Rijksvaccinatieprogramma, since 1976. Thus, in the Netherlands it is now a rare disease, has become. “I come from the generation where you take the illness as a child and just had one”, says Rik de Swart, virologist is in order at the Erasmus MC, Rotterdam, the netherlands. “It was a little bit in this area.” The measles virus is an incredibly contagious virus that is spread by tiny droplets through the air. Without vaccination to spread it to be very easy. “We have long known about the virus with the host's do it,” says The Journal. “This has been in the last five to ten years, clarity has come, inter alia, through the research that we have in this city to have done so.” The number of measles cases in the United States between 1950 and 2001. Since the introduction of the vaccine by the end of the nineteen-sixties (see the arrow), the number of cases came down drastically. In the meantime, it is at risk from measles in the western world with a rare disease has become. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Cells of Classical luchtwegvirussen, such as influenza and the common cold, infect the cells of the respiratory tract. The measles virus is different, The Swirl of “I'm going to be in the respiratory tract, but allow the cells of your respiratory tract on your left. It instantly infects cells of the immune system in the lungs (in particular, B-cells and T-cells). Through the blood and spread of the infection to the immune cells in the lymph nodes, the spleen, and the intestines. In the final stage of the infection, the virus will go back into the respiratory tract. Then, the cells of the respiratory tract is actually infected, in order to ensure that the virus is on the host.” “The measles virus infects, not all, immune cells just as easily,” says The Journal. “In particular, the cells of the immunological memory to become infected. These cells are distributed throughout the immune system remember the infection we have seen in recent years. During the clean-up of the measles virus, it is the cells where the virus is destroyed.” People who got the measles have been through in the two years after that, still become seriously ill from an infection. This is due to the removal of the measles virus is also a part of the immunological memory has been lost. CDC/NIP/Barbara Rice, CDC/NIP/Barbara Rice, and What are the implications of this are, among other things, on the extent to which the virus is able to survive. In the Journal: “some patients may only have one-tenth of the memory cells, the way, and you'll notice that there are clinically quite clean. For others it can be fifty percent of the cells are gone. These patients are in the period of transition from the measles vaccine can become seriously ill from the infection, even if they already have been.” Databases are an outbreak of measles, the immune system is weakened and patients are then more susceptible to other infections, had been well-known. However, that effect seemed to be a couple of weeks to at most a few months ' time, to stick to it. Now, it appears that a large proportion of the infant mortality rate to more than two years after a mazeleninfectie another can be explained by the experience of the disease. The Journal draws this conclusion from a study, in cooperation with the U.s. epidemiologists. From the databases of the United States of america, England, Wales, and Denmark, they gathered data on the mortality rates of measles, mumps, and deaths from other infectious diseases, both before and after the introduction of the mazelenvaccinatie. Vaccination against measles, mumps, worldwide, on the basis of the data of the year 2010. The world health organisation (WHO), in The Journal: “There is a clear correlation between the occurrence of measles, mumps, and deaths from other infectious diseases. And that correlation has been there for up to 28 months after having a mazelenuitbraak. The special thing about this study is that the different databases have the same approach has been followed and that there is always one and the same period of time will come out of this. After the introduction of the mazelenvaccinatie, the number of cases of measles and, of course, is much less, but it will still show up for more than two years after the outbreak of a higher mortality in other diseases. We believe, therefore, that we have a very strong connection to them.” Then, The infant mortality rate in the Netherlands is very low. However, the infant mortality rate, which we may for a large part be explained by the experience of the measles vaccine is The Journal. He is worried that there are more and more in doubt about it, vaccination is this: “People read on the internet is all about side-effects and are afraid of it.” However, they seem not to realize how hard the infection itself. “Not to vaccinate is going to be good, as long as the children are in a society living, where the rest of the children are vaccinated. They will still be protected by the group. However, if the number of unvaccinated children is too high, there can be outbreaks again.” “As such, in 2013, under the strict calvinists in the Netherlands. There were three disease, cases have been recorded, but we do know that there will always be cases of under-registration, so there may be some ten thousand cases. There was a time when a single child has died from it. The risk is to the right of center are to die for, it is so small, however, the immune system is not infection a tap on it. In the two years following the transition of the infection, patients have a less effective immune system,” says The Journal, “That kind of the effects to be forgotten in the decision to have a child does not have to be vaccinated.”",8,"netherlands"

Arafat also reiterated that this kind of manipulation and disinformation can be ""cost innocent lives, thus inducing the parents fault"". ""I ask you to inform directly from a reliable source, and should do not be misled, as the case is known, and the decision of the Supreme Court, the German does not refer to the existence or not of the virus but also to place a bet. We'll see how I go, children vaccinated when the remedy is there, and I don't manage it. I'm not a fan of the manufacturers of the drugs but one can't deny that some of the drugs are essential if they are used correctly and at the right time for the right reason. Vaccination has saved hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of lives, as in the past, this has made it possible to prevent some of the deadly diseases such as polio, which is yet to see the effect it has on the people who have suffered from this terrible disease in childhood. Now, in 2018, is trying to convince parents that vaccination is not necessary, it is dangerous, and that the measles virus doesn't exist,“ she wrote on Facebook, Raed Arafat. Doctor Gino Dumitra, coordinator of the Group on Vaccinology from the National association of general practitioners, it draws your attention to this crazy situation. ""We are in a full outbreak of measles in the us who are dying, so many children, and we do not believe that the disease exists. We are in the absurd, absolutely. It's like, I would say that a person doesn't have the legs or you don't, there are cars and aircraft,“ says the specialist. Belong to the realm of the absurd, Specialists say that the denial of the existence of the measles virus is in the realm of the absurd, and that's exactly why statements such as these are hard to come by. ""There are claims that you can't find a logical explanation for this. You can't have a comeback for something like that. It's like saying that someone doesn't have a brain, and I need to find a scientific reason for that. It is sick, the dying of hundreds of thousands all over the world, but some of them I don't think there is... We're getting into an area of the explanation, stupid. I'll give you a similar example: someone has said that polio is not a disease, but a state of mind. We put out a record, against a statement without any foundation,"" he explained, ""the Truth"", prof. univ. Alexandru Rafila, chairman of the Romanian Society of Microbiology. Vaccination saves lives, and On the other hand, the experts draw attention to the risks to which they are exposed to unvaccinated children. ""This vaccine saves lives, but prevents illness in the first place. We're talking, basically, of two types of the benefits of the vaccine. First of all, at the level of the people who are vaccinated, in order that you don't get sick, and, on the other hand, those who come into contact with the sick do not get the disease. Many of the cases of children under one year of age who died following hiv infection in the older children. Children under one year of age cannot be vaccinated. As adults they may become contaminated. A nurse in Brasov, has died after he contracted the disease in children hospitalized with measles,“ explained the professor. univ. Alexandru Rafila. It is precisely because it conveys a contradictory information, the experts recommended to the parents to inform them about the vaccination of children in the official sources. The easiest way to do this is to go to your family doctor. ""Mothers need to be informed in the first place, the physician of the family. All of the information pertaining to the vaccination of children can be found on the website of the Ministry of Health and the departments of public health. Information on vaccination in general, and about the types of vaccines, what diseases they prevent, and information about the disease, possible side effects, etc. the Problem is that people want to be informed,“ concluded the expert. Members present in addition to the Church, the anti-vaccination despite all the campaigns for the vaccination of a significant number of romanians have still not vaccinated their children against measles. It's not a matter of a number of factors. ""We're talking about a number of the facts in the case of those who don't vaccinate their children. There is a lot of lack of education, ignorance, there are quite a few of the elements which also mark the attitude of antivaccinală. Some people go to the doctor until after the baby was ill. In some regions, we are struck by the influence of some of the organisations that operate outside of the Church, especially the Orthodox one, which involved the explicit anti-vaccination. Another problem is that cross-border migration of children, which i have on the list. There have been disruptions in supply of the vaccine,“ said the doctor, Gino Dumitra. Olivia the City is also known for pozi<U+021B>a to the vocal anti-vaccination, but the campaign has come in the contradiction with the official statistics, which show an increase in the number of cases of measles. ""The total number of cases confirmed with measles in the Usa reported up to the date of the 4th of may, it is 12.799, out of which 52 cases of death,"" he announced to the National Institute of Public Health. Finding of fact the German courts Decision of Olivia's Looks is related to a process that has lasted for more than three years ago between the physician David Bardens, and the biologist Stefan Lanka, who is also an activist of the anti-vaccine thing.

So I don't pay for it, spain has refused evidence.Accordingly, the Bardens it has failed to act on the Lankan court, and local Court in the city of Ravensburg, which is the point of the doctor. Spain has appealed the decision to a higher court in Stuttgart, germany, managed to win the trial, citing prosecutorial misconduct.A court in Stuttgart, I don't judge, but the existence of the measles virus, but only if the Bardens has complied with the formal criteria of the bet to Morocco. After he won it, spain has begun to publicly state that the decision of the judges, that means that the measles virus doesn't exist.

"50213","MEASLES is a rapidly transmissible disease caused by infection with the measles virus. Causing fever and cold-like symptoms as well as a characteristic rash, it has plagued the human race for centuries. There are Aztec drawings of people with measles (with the recognisable rash) from the 16th century, when Europeans first set foot in central and South America and brought measles with them.    The majority of people are infected with measles as children, after which they have lifelong protection against any future measles infection because their immune system recognises the virus in future.    Measles can cause further complications, and even kills a relatively small number of people. The proportion of measles cases that result in death depends on the quality and availability of local healthcare. A child treated quickly at a hospital in the Western world has a much higher probability of survival than a child in impoverished parts of Africa.    In Britain, children are routinely vaccinated against measles as part of the MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccine. The proportion of the population that has been vaccinated is around 94.5 per cent, which has so far thankfully only decreased slightly in the face of increased anti-vaccine conspiracy theories.    This vaccine coverage is high enough to prevent any large-scale measles outbreaks in Britain, since any child that is infected with measles is only likely to come into contact with vaccinated children. Individual cases of measles therefore can’t easily give rise to outbreaks.    The real burden of measles lies in countries where routine vaccination is patchy or sometimes unavailable. The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has recently seen a huge measles outbreak sweep over every part of the country, where the proportion of people vaccinated usually varies between 50 and 70 per cent.    In 2019 the DRC has recorded 250,000 cases and 5,000 deaths, more than the Ebola outbreak that is simultaneously happening in the eastern part of the country. There have also been outbreaks in Ethiopia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Madagascar, Myanmar, the Philippines, Sudan, Thailand and Ukraine, and most recently in the Pacific islands state of Samoa.    On November 17 a state of emergency was declared in Samoa, where there have been over 5,000 cases in a country with just under 196,000 inhabitants. Similar states of emergency have also been declared in Tonga and Fiji.    Unfortunately, measles has knock-on effects, making it more deadly than it might initially appear. Where measles vaccines have been successful, childhood mortality from other causes has also decreased.    Studies that compared cohorts of children who had been infected with measles to similar children who had not been infected confirmed a similar finding: mortality from all causes is higher in children after measles infection. This is true in both low-resource countries, where measles and other infections circulate persistently and increase and decrease together, as well as in high-resource countries.  This is because even in the absence of other diseases, measles also increases the likelihood of opportunistic bacterial infections after infection, where bacteria which usually pose no threat to health take advantage of the weakened immune system.    These results all point to one conclusion: measles infection has a lasting negative effect on the immune system of children, even after infection. In November, scientists published research that showed we have finally understood precisely how this happens.    Firstly, a quick background on our immune system: we fight off invading bacteria, viruses, and parasites by producing proteins called antibodies that are specific to each new infection. Some cells in the immune system have a long memory. They serve as a library of all the pathogens that our body has previously experienced.    This means that, in theory, our body is better equipped to fight the same kind of infection in the future. This works for some pathogens such as the measles virus, or chickenpox, but some pathogens have tricks to prevent our body from recognising them and responding appropriately.    The flu virus mutates so quickly that there are many different strains of the flu, and these strains vary year on year. That’s why there is a new flu vaccine each year which tries to predict which strains will be common in the upcoming year. Vaccines work by introducing our immune system to inactive versions of pathogens, so you can build a library of antibodies without all of the deadly effects of a disease.    Contrastingly, the malaria parasite swaps between many different proteins on its surface over the course of an infection, similar to a chameleon trying out many disguises. It will take a while for your body to recognise all of these different proteins and it therefore takes several parasite infections for your body to develop a decent immune response.    In measles, scientists measured the presence of thousands of different antibodies in the blood of children before and two months after measles infection. They found that measles destroyed between 11 and 73 per cent of the children’s antibody library, leaving children susceptible to re-infection with pathogens that were now missing from their antibody library.    Crucially, this ransacking of the immune library does not happen in children whose exposure to measles is through the MMR vaccine. Preventing this ransacking, as well as preventing deaths from complications due to measles, has made the MMR vaccine one of the most effect public health interventions ever conceived.    There is however no time for self-congratulation. Many children across the world do not receive the vaccine and measles remains the highest vaccine-preventable cause of death. In Western countries, where some people are beginning to reject vaccines as an unnecessary medical intervention, we are starting to take for granted that we live in a country that is not frequently beset by epidemics.    Vaccination presents a clear challenge to capitalist and libertarian positions, as the evidence is so clear that even on the right, very few have the gall to argue against it. As a new majority Conservative government continues the ongoing stealth privatisation of the NHS, with obvious and insidious threats to health and our common good, the arguments for universal healthcare provided by the state are more important than ever.",8,"uk"

In a parliamentary vote, League and Five Star MPs pushed back the introduction of the planned ban by a year even though there were 5,000 cases of measles in Italy last year, which led to four deaths.

"51513","Measles cases on the rise as experts appeal for higher MMR vaccination uptake  Medical symbol - Doctor with stethoscope Archant  A sharp rise in measles cases has prompted health experts to launch an appeal for children and young people to get vaccinated.  Share Email this article to a friend To send a link to this page you must be logged in.  There have been 32 cases of the illness, which causes cold-like symptoms, a fever and blotchy rash, from January to March this year across Avon, Gloucestershire and Wiltshire.  This is compared to the same period in 2017 when no cases of measles were confirmed.  Although North Somerset has the highest percentage of five-year-olds receiving their second dose of the Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR) injection from October to December last year (93.7 per cent) in the affected area, health experts are calling for more people to be fully vaccinated.  Dominic Mellon, Public Health England South West consultant in communicable disease control, said: “While measles is now relatively uncommon in England thanks to the MMR vaccine, those who are unvaccinated or not fully vaccinated, remain susceptible to the disease.  “The cases we have seen recently in the area have affected young adults.  “It is important to be aware it is never too late to have the vaccine, so if you have not received two doses of the vaccine in the past – or you are unsure – speak to your GP. There is no harm in receiving an additional dose where there is any uncertainty.”  The increase in measles cases is linked to large outbreaks in Europe.  Anyone who has travelled or will be visiting countries including Italy and Germany are particularly susceptible.  Dr Julie Yates, lead consultant for screening and immunisation in the South West, added: “The increase in cases locally across Avon, Gloucestershire and Wiltshire is in line with increases currently being reported in other parts of England and Wales.  “We know that in the Avon, Gloucestershire and Wiltshire area, vaccine uptake rates have improved in recent years, but these continue to be below the 95 per cent level required to provide population protection.  “The current increase in cases serves as an important reminder for parents to take up the routine offer of the first MMR vaccination for their children at one year of age and a second as part of the pre-school booster at three years and four months of age.”",8,"uk"
"74613","Samoan authorities warned Friday that anti-vaccine propaganda would not be tolerated, after a social media campaigner was arrested for opposing a mass immunisation drive aimed at containing the Pacific nation's deadly measles epidemic.  At least 63 people, mostly children, have died since the outbreak began in mid-October, with the crisis blamed on so-called ""anti-vaxxers"" convincing parents that immunisations were dangerous.

"4212","The measles hype has been recognised in accordance with the United States, Germany, and in the current vaccination law struck down. The disproportionality of the measure have shown the vaccine critics have already detailed. But they also know the history of the eradication campaign? She took in 1962, beginning with the microbe-hunter, Dr. Langmuir, of the certified rates to the measles a ""remarkable biological equilibrium"" with moderate Severity, and low deaths, but then the war is over. Why? ""Because we can."" It is this history refutes the logic that is always brought out when the measles return, despite a high vaccination rate. The solution: More vaccinated. Print view this year has adopted in America, the fear mongering about measles epidemic proportions. There is no day the media publish not furious article or editorial, in which you are spraying hatred against the tiny minority of parents that don't vaccinate their children goes on. Because whom is now given the blame for the measles outbreaks.1-3, The recommended solution, identification, prosecution and punishment of the parents of unvaccinated children is always.4-6, Some state and Federal legislators are reacting to the relentless fear-mongering, and suggest to crop in the state Impfgesetzen the exemptions from the vaccination for medical reasons as well as to delete all of the exceptions on the grounds of Religion or Conscience.7-10, Such exceptions may not only help to prevent vaccine damage and deaths, they also protect the rights of parents, civil liberties, and the ethical principle of informed consent when the medical risks.11, The American government, the world health organisation, the medical associations, the pharmaceutical industry and the multi-national communication companies are all in agreement that the measles virus is extremely dangerous, the MMR vaccination is absolutely safe and effective and that all children must get two doses of the MMR vaccine, in order to achieve the goal of global eradication of measles by the year 2020.12-15 In the last two decades, the public debate primarily to children, the reactions to the MMR vaccination such as seizures, encephalitis, or encephalopathy, or contributed to a chronic illness or disability, of turned.16-22 of the effectiveness Of the measles vaccination or measles disease before and after licensing of the vaccine in the middle of the 20th century. Century was designed, barely spoke to anyone. This article deals with the failure of the vaccination, and based on Documents that were taken from the scientific and medical literature. However, of these Documents is in the public and political debate over the measles vaccination and the compulsory vaccination laws are not at all the speech. Measles in the United States in the 1950s,: is mild, and the other 90 percent I reported ill in the 1950s, measles, as well as my sister and half of all children in my class. I still remember that I didn't need to visit the school, in the house is a dark, wore glasses, chicken soup and ate orange sherbert on a stick sucked. Impatiently I waited for the Disappearance of the spots, so I go back to school and my friends could see. The Same thing happened when I got chicken pox. Although I applied calamine Lotion, was the thing this Time unpleasant, and I scratched me all the time, although I should. 1955 555.000 measles cases were reported, and there were in the American population, which was one of this year's 165 million people, 345 deaths due to measles.23,24 in fact, about three to five million Americans sick each year as a wild-type measles, mostly in the age under 15 years of age.25-27 At 3.5 million diseased Americans in the year 1955 and 345 deaths, the rate of measles-related deaths i.e. about 1 to 10,000. Most of the cases were, like me, is mild, accompanied by fever, sore throat and a rash that was gone after a week. At that time, the mothers went to because of the normal children's diseases, which made every child, and only rarely a doctor. 90 percent of the cases were reported to the authorities.28 you can See the population statistics from the beginning of the 20th century. Century, we can see that the measles disease, the inflammation, although complications such as lung infections, ear infections or brain inflammation can cause, among in this country, never the main event of death or disability reasons.29 From the middle of the 20th century. Century could not be met with many complications with antibiotics, which is why most parents and physicians in the United States and in Europe is considered measles in healthy children as a Problem.30 1962: ""Moderate Severity and low death rates"", but still: ""Let the disease wipe out"" in 1962, the famous microbe-hunter, Dr. Alexander Langmuir, and Dr. D. A. Henderson, who signed for the campaign for the eradication of smallpox, responsible, measles is described as a ""self-limiting infection of short duration, moderate Severity, and low death rates"" that ""could be true in the course of the centuries in a remarkably stable biological balance"".31 Dr. Langmuir explained calmly: ""The decline in the mortality rate for measles, the degree to which we could us to this balance, to adjust and to live with this parasite learned.“ But immediately afterwards, he proclaimed boldly, proudly and with absolute Conviction: ""Those who ask me: 'Why do you want to eradicate the measles?', I'll give the same answer that Hillary on the question of why he wanted to because the Mount Everest climb. He said: 'Because he is there.' The could add: '... and because we can.'"" Dr. Langmuir and Dr. Henderson informed the medical community that soon a measles vaccination will come to the market, and the health authorities don't check only the measles disease, but the Virus from the face of the earth would be repaid. In the action plan for eradication under the Motto ""Because we can"" should come to the same Search - and-destroy strategies, which had already been against the smallpox virus ascended. However, this Time the far less deadly, but more contagious measles virus should be the goal. As in the case of smallpox, the action was a plan to inject a vaccine into the bodies of babies and small children to the Virus to eradicate. The health authorities, the pharmaceutical companies and the politicians was quite clear that they had convinced a century parents to have their children for a war against smallpox and polio recruit. So it was logical to have the same kind of war against the measles virus. In 1962, Congress passed the vaccination assistance act (PL 87-868), which was signed by President John F. Kennedy. Today we know it under the name of the Section 317 Immunization Grant program – Section-317-impfzuschuss program. The law, which is part of a broader Initiative of the Federal government for medical health care in underserved communities was, to the States of funds so that these intensive vaccination campaigns were able to start against polio, diphtheria, Tetanus and whooping cough, which is aimed at small children. The act was supplemented in 1965 by President Lyndon B. Johnson, to raise funds for vaccination campaigns against measles to deploy.32,33 In March 1963, the head of the state health system announced that two measles vaccines had received a admission, an inactivated measles vaccine by Pfizer, and is a live vaccine from Merck.34 In his statement, the head of the state health care system was, once again, that the death rate for measles in the United States was in compared to under-developed countries, is low. He assured the Nation: ""In the United States, the need for mass immunization, hardly seems to be the programs given."" He called on the Doctors, the new measles vaccinations just to offer, if small children are brought up in their practices. Before the introduction of vaccination the maternal antibodies transmitted to their foetuses at the Time, the Doctors knew that women had as children, wild-type measles through during pregnancy conferred on the passive anti-body to the growing fetus. The newborns were protected in the first year of life or longer prior to the measles.35,36 at the Time, most children got measles in the age between three and ten years, and acquired a permanently stable immunity for the whole life.37,38 The immune system of small children is different than that of older children or adults.39 From the beginning, it was not possible for the vaccine manufacturers to dominate with their vaccines, the natural maternal measles antibodies of small children, blocked the uptake of vaccine strain antibodies.40 As of today, most women have been vaccinated as children, you cannot give the robust maternal measles antibodies to their newborns as the mothers of the generations before. Today, most of the newborn from birth for measles-susceptible, in an age in which the most serious complications can occur.41,42 Also adults, such as pregnant women, can today be for measles infections susceptible if the vaccination acquired antibodies are gone and no longer offer.43 you took away the newborn, the maternal immunity against measles, was described for the first massive intervention in the ""remarkably stable biological balance"" between the measles virus and humans, Dr. Langmuir and his colleagues a year before the admission of measles vaccines. The vaccines were administered, nine-month-old babies. The recommended age for the first dose of Vaccine was increased in 1965 to twelve months. In 1976, the age was increased again and is now 15 months, since the effectiveness probability of the measles vaccination has become increasingly smaller, the younger the child was.44 Anm. d.

"4214","Measles (Morbilli) are a globally widespread, highly contagious infectious disease, which was one of the children's diseases. Typical for the disease is a characteristic skin rash that can spread throughout the body. The trigger for the disease is the measles virus. Measles can leave a life-long immunity: Is disease once this disease triggers a second infection with the Virus no disease more. Of the suspected measles disease, the disease, as well as a possible death from measles must be reported according to the infection protection act and the Department of health. Similarly, the direct and indirect evidence of a measles infection of the reporting obligation is subject to. Measles occur mainly in school-age children. They are the typical children's diseases. The number of diseases has decreased in Germany since the introduction of the free measles vaccination in 1974 (in the former GDR, already in 1970) first. For several years, the disease to take, though. In 2015, were reported in the whole of Germany 2.463 cases of the disease. So many of them, such as never since the introduction of mandatory reporting in 2001. Compared to 2005, with 778 cases corresponding to an increase of 316 percent. While in 2016, nationwide, with 325 cases comparatively little disease occurred, your number 2017 drastically: The Robert Koch Institute (RKI) has until August 860 measles cases, of which 510 in the Federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) occurred. Especially the cities of Duisburg and Essen are affected. The outbreak in NRW is attributed by the authorities mainly to the low immunization Coverage in this Region. The measles are in Germany on the rise again. In developing countries, particularly in Africa, occur in measles disease is still very often. Here are the ten most common infectious diseases, with the proportion of fatal curves is particularly high. Causes for measles (Morbilli) to be measles by the measles virus triggered. This is one of the so-called RNA viruses and in addition to causing human disease. It is transmitted via droplet infection when Sneezing, coughing or Talking. This results already in a short contact with the Patients to an infection, causes about 95 percent of the Infected ailments. Risk of infection is five days before and up to four days after the appearance of the rash. Immediately before the start of the rash, the risk of Infection is greatest. The incubation period, the time from infection with the Virus to onset of the first symptoms is called is eight to ten days. Symptoms: Prodromal and exanthema stage, The typical measles disease runs in two phases. The first Phase, the prodromal stage, begins with a fever, runny nose, cough, and conjunctival inflammation (conjunctivitis), which is the cause for photophobia. Clear indications that it could be measles, skin the lime splash-like spots with reddish-yard on the cheek mucosa, the so-called Koplik's spots. The first Phase of fades after three to five days. In the second Phase, the rash stage is carried out after a short fever waste three to four days later a further, stronger increase in temperature. Now is also the characteristic dark red occurs, blotchy-bubble-shaped rash. He begins in the face and behind the ears and spreads over the trunk to the limbs, except the palms of the hands and soles of the feet. In the uncomplicated course of measles and fading of the rash leave after four to seven days and the fever drops again. Diagnosis: Rash, Koplik's spots, antibody detection The diagnosis of measles can usually be on the basis of the relatively typical clinical picture, are provided. Especially characteristic are the small white spots on the buccal mucosa (Koplik's spots) and the whole-body skin rash are. An uncertainty in the diagnosis of measles, however, it is typical for the disease, antibodies can be by a blood smear is visible, and thus specifically detected. Another, rarely-used possibility of the propagation of measles virus from swabs of the mucous membranes of the nose and throat, urine, or from blood lymphocytes at the beginning of the disease. Symptomatic therapy in measles In General, not be treated measles only symptomatic, as a specific drug against viruses is available. In the acute phase of the Disease bed rest is in the foreground. Antipyretic drugs and antitussives ease the Disease symptoms. In the case of Photophobia of Patients, due to a conjunctivitis, it helps to have a darkened room. It comes to serious, bacterial concomitant diseases, such as, for example, a middle ear infection (Otitis media) or inflammation of the lungs (pneumonia), is carried out a therapy with antibiotics. History of measles (Morbilli), measles for a period of four to six weeks is a weakness in defence. Therefore, it may come during and after the illness to a secondary infection by bacteria (bacterial super-infection), the serious complications can lead. The worse the General condition of the Patients, the greater the risk is due to the measles infection is a serious consequence to get a disease. Complications in measles is The most common complication that can occur in the case of measles, is the inflammation of the middle ear (Otits media). In addition, it can lead to Bronchitis, laryngitis (croup cough), pneumonia, and diarrhea (diarrhoea). The most serious complication of the measles virus, the acute inflammation of the brain (encephalitis) is. It occurs in the first two weeks of Sickness and can lead to lifelong damage and even death. Measles prevention by vaccination of A measles disease can be prevented with a vaccination. This should be done in children at the age of eleven to 14 months. Usually, a combination vaccine against measles, Mumps and rubella used (MMR vaccine) is. Because not all children develop already after the first vaccination, a sufficient immunity against the disease, it is recommended from the age of 15 months a second vaccination. This should be no later than the conclusion of the second year of life is to be in front of measles safely protected. In addition, the Standing Committee on vaccination (StIko) recommends the Robert Koch-Institute for the vaccination against measles for all persons working in, for example, children's hospitals, day care centers or homes and not to measles are sick. Measles on the rise, The vaccination coverage in respect of measles has decreased in recent years and it is epidemic to occur increasingly like cases of measles in schools or kindergartens. Often, the Vaccine is especially for young people and adults does not exist or is not sufficient, because the second vaccination will be missing. But especially in children under five years of age and in adults over 20 years, the risk is increased that measles infection leads to serious complications. So it was in the year 2013 in Germany 1.771 cases of measles (the most in Berlin and Bavaria). 29 percent of these Patients had to be treated in the hospital. In the year 2015, the number of disease cases was already 2.463, about half of alone in Berlin. Measles vaccination: Two arguments that could sway critical parents, even now it is not clear that Germany achieved the targets set by the WHO for the eradication of measles. In order to achieve the target, may have occurred in the previous three years, only one case per Million inhabitants. For Germany, this means that a maximum of 80 measles are likely to occur cases per year. However, this is a high-water mark for measles has been in this country exceeded in the past. So also in 2014 and 2015: In the nationally known ""Berlin measles outbreak"" affected nearly 1,400 people under the age of one to 77 years. The outbreaks are in large part to a high number of Unvaccinated (86 percent of the Patients unvaccinated Berlin) were due. Why is the vaccination to remain? Parents who let their children not (or not timely) vaccination, according to the RKI, in most cases, opponents. The reason for lack of vaccination is often a certain ""Impfskepsis"" to. In fact, many parents threatening diseases only from the stories, which the respect of these diseases is decreased. Add to that an exaggerated fear of side effects. The possible dangers of vaccination are clear, the disease is underestimated, however. So some parents let their children, therefore, only partial or delayed vaccination. You want to ask of your Small ""not too much at once"". Early vaccination against measles shows fewer side effects, However, two arguments could be used to change the minds of the parents. The measles vaccine is better tolerated if it is early administered: American researchers showed that fever and febrile convulsions are less frequent when the children were at an early stage vaccinated). On the other, to delay the measles vaccination may be dangerous. Because the risk of serious complications from a measles disease in children under five years of age (and in adults over 20) at the highest. This should result in parents eyes. In the case of a disease at an early age, the risk of subacute sclerosing Panencephalitis (SSPE), which increases the most feared late complication of a measles infection, especially. SSPE usually begins insidiously with four to ten years after measles infection and inevitably leads to death. Scientists at the University of Würzburg is that it comes with a 3,300 measles sick children aged under the age of five to a SSPE. The younger the children are involved in the infection, the greater the risk. Herd immunity against measles improve occurred in 2013, a high proportion of measles on diseases in adolescents and young adults, the highest age-specific incidence was found according to the RKI in children in the first year and one-year-old children. In order to protect this group better, it is important that the measles vaccine, the STIKO recommended time to exercise, and to improve herd immunity. In terms of the herd immunity, especially teenagers and young adults back in the spotlight, where there are serious gaps. Therefore, the STIKO does not recommend, since 2010, all adults born after 1970, and either all, or only once in Childhood against measles were vaccinated or where the vaccination status is unknown, vaccination against measles",8,"germany"

This is doctors and nurses who ""got stuck"" measles – some of them had to be treated – after contact in the context of their work with a patient with measles.

Sources in the CDC, in fact, indicate that, in some cases, even the same doctors... and recognized the disease rather than the symptoms that they had, as it is a disease that primarily encountered until now in the literature, and especially the pediatricians. The charge of the measles in the adult population and perhaps to health professionals has mobilized the CDC, which calls for competently by the administrations of the hospital and the Committees of Infections of the hospital to proceed with the vaccination programmes, however, as is the case with vaccination for the flu each year, no wait in fact... impressive and especially important for public health results. This is because vaccination remains the choice of the professional health, without there is some other way to ensure first and foremost the armour of his own health against infectious communicable diseases, nor of other, colleagues, patients, etc that will come in contact with it.",8,"greece"
"29611","Significantly improved the image of Greece for the control of measles, as it has become a very serious effort, and this is evidenced by the fact that from the beginning of 2019 until today, recorded a total of 28 cases in children from Roma communities have a foreign nationality and persons with recent travel to endemic countries. ""The cases reported are imported, not to be cases of measles that originated in Greece"", states to ana-MPA, Maria Theodoridou, professor emerita of Pediatrics university of ATHENS, president of the National Committee on Vaccination and considers that the wording of the World Health Organization that, on the basis of the data for the 2018 ceases to consider Greece a country where the disease has been ""eliminated"", leading to ""erroneous impression that we have an epidemic in office , which is not the case as the epidemic is in decline"".

In particular, declared in the Department of Epidemiological Surveillance and Intervention of the PHEA 3.259 cases of measles, which focused on young children from Roma communities, as well as young adults (25-44 years) than the general population, which was <U+03B5><U+03C0><U+03AF><U+03BD><U+03BF><U+03C3><U+03BF><U+03B9> measles, including <U+03B1><U+03BD><U+03B5>µß<U+03BF><U+03BB><U+03AF><U+03B1><U+03C3><U+03C4><U+03BF><U+03B9> or incompletely vaccinated health care professionals. Increase of vaccinations in Accordance with mrs Theodoridou has become an important effort in the direction of awareness and vaccination coverage of vulnerable groups of the population. ""We are in a very good way, so we did the kids at least, but adults may have been vaccinated at a high rate and has been covered and a significant proportion of Roma"", and as stated to ana-MPA mr.

The Teacher stresses that despite the increase of vaccinations observed, ""we have not reached the point where we are satisfied, especially with regard to the vaccination coverage of vulnerable groups such as the Roma , because the majority of the incidents in Greece related to young children belonging to the Roma.

Mrs Theodoridou explains that from the start of an outbreak, measures have been taken for their vaccinations, not only children but also adults and the first was the modification of the shape of the two-dose vaccination in children, i.e. the first dose is now given at the age of 12 months and the second three months after the first.

What is measles measles is a highly contagious disease. All the people ( children and adults) who are not vaccinated or have been doing only one dose of the vaccine can be infected if exposed to the virus. The virus is spread by droplets of respiratory system when a patient talks, coughs or sneezes. Approximately one in three patients with measles may give serious complications and need hospitalization. Complications are more frequent in young children, in adults, in immunocompromised individuals and pregnant women. The complications of measles are: otitis media, pneumonia, sinusitis, diarrhea, hepatitis, convulsions, encephalitis and permanent brain damage. In developed countries approximately one in 1000 patients with measles can result in death. There is no specific treatment for the disease. The best preventive measure is vaccination.",8,"greece"

"30612","Newer and important data for measles 2019: The year 2000, in accordance with the american health service Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the measles was considered to be ""extinct"" disease. In the last five years, however, there is a heightened concern, not only in the U.S. but also in Europe. The reason is that the cases are increasing as are decreasing the vaccinations. Measles 2019: Two important studies That measles is a disease with potentially severe complications, we knew. Two new studies, however, published these days, they found that the measles can have serious, long-term complications in the immune system. Essentially, causes ""immune amnesia"", destroying antibodies help us to protect ourselves from other diseases which we were immune. For one study, published in the Science review (you can find it here in English), researchers from the Medical School of Harvard University, examined a blood sample from children: Before and after the latter being affected with measles, and from a second group of children before and after their vaccinations. Those who had stuck to measles had lost 11-73% of protective antibodies. On the contrary, the immune system of children who had been vaccinated were not affected at all. The researchers concluded that the measles can reverse the protection that someone has against various diseases-from the flu to pneumonia - even if he's been vaccinated for that. At the level of general immunity in the population, this could have a dramatic effect. It would mean that after a measles epidemic could follow epidemics of other communicable diseases. ""The main conclusion is that the measles is much more crucial for the immune system and the health of children than we thought,"" commented Michael Mina, MD, PhD, assistant professor of epidemiology in the School of Public Health Chan of Harvard University and one of the leaders of the study. Measles 2019: Two studies lead to the same result The second study, published in the Science review Immunology (you can find it here in English) and conducted by researchers in Europe, reached almost the same conclusion: ""we Saw for the first time that the measles restarts of the human immune system. And brings in an immature state, infant level, with limited capacity to respond to new infectious agents,"" the researchers note. The good news There, too. The immune system of people who got sick from measles, it can ultimately be created. But it needs the body to be exposed again to a number of diseases. For example, if you develop immunity to one strain of the flu because you were sick once, it is likely to get stuck again and then to get from the beginning immunity.

Last Friday, the WHO, the world health Organization, has sounded the alarm, declaring an official epidemic. Even if the figures for 2018 are not yet final, WHO has recently shown that measles was on the increase in Europe. Our country does not follow the european trend. There were only 120 cases of measles in 2018, compared to 369 a year ago. But in Brussels, the infectious disease is on the rise again. Didier Gosuin (Challenge) explained this morning in the columns of The Last Hour that this increase can be explained by the migratory movements and intends to introduce prevention measures, but considers that it does not have jurisdiction to make other arrangements: “This is not a decision to be made unilaterally in Brussels. The policy must be the same on all the territory”. Vaccination could also explain this epidemic. For the first dose, when the baby is one year old, the coverage rate of the 95% targets set by WHO. It is the coverage of the second dose around 10 or 11 years old, which is still insufficient : it only reaches the 75 %. Clément Brasseur , a member of the health directorate of ONE, points out several reasons for this. “When the children are older, as at the time of the second dose, they consult less frequently by a health professional.

"947","The measles outbreak went to the neighboring Romania. There was more than 3 196 cases, there are 17 victims. Is there a danger for the spread of the disease in Bulgaria, and, most importantly, what you should know about it, commented Dr. Andrey Filipov, state expert, Department of Policy in the field of health promotion and disease prevention“ at the Ministry of health. - Dr. Filipova, is there a risk of the epidemic of measles in us? Let's not sow panic. While we have no data on the epidemic. But there is a risk of the import and origin of cases, as the infection is airborne and in order to consider predpisano the entire population must have communications, "" full-time tuition coverage for more than 90-95%. Therefore, taking every measure. In 2009 - 2010. the country was a very big epidemic, the largest in Europe in recent years, or explosion from Corey with more than 24 hill. patients, with 24 deaths, of which almost all were children, and it is small, it is Neimoidian. Then the range was good, but it turned out that there are some large groups of the population who are not protected. It's actually the group that were not recorded with consult your doctor. And because the virus is highly contagious, the development was difficult, in the 21st century is unacceptable. Eight years no cases of measles and all of a sudden the incidence of 24 thousand Is unheard of.So, the probability that will happen a new flash, I don't want to say it's 50/50, but there is. - How many cases of measles we have, than in 2010. here, what is the situation in other countries? Since then, still no native way, but only the singles that were imported, that is, someone who was abroad, where it infects and spun. We have one case last year, which did not become clear, where was the contagion, but, rather, is a consequence of contact with patients from abroad. In many European countries continues to provide measles and then large explosions and epidemic rasprostranjenost, as in Romania, Italy, UK, Austria. In Germany, there are explosions, there are currently several cases in Croatia. There in the last few years was epidemic distribution, but the principal countries of Europe, and that in the West, who are a constant source of patients was the German-speaking countries, if I may so call them. And also the UK, where the disease affects a larger age group, mostly teenagers or organized groups that do not have enough immunization coating. The main reason for this is that many parents refuse the second immunization. - What preventive measures you should take doctors and parents? They have countries and the leaves should cover the way by age groups. Measles vaccine in combination with two infectious diseases - mumps and rubella. And in General, there were no problems with the supply of this vaccine. She was always available, and at the present time. So, the only reason for neoshamans can be some temporary medical conditions in the first place, what you have described the procedure in the relevant resolution with the immunization or the absence of the child, which most often occurs in the summer, when kids on grandparents. But in General, inmunizaciones range of the vaccine to decline for many years, what exactly is the reason we obespokoeny. We have the parents must insist and check immunizationinfo data for children because the risk is very high. Measles remains a serious disease, regardless of what we in the 21st century. - What are the major symptoms of this type rubella? It has a very characteristic rash, but end to it, it's a little late. Patients have high fever, redness, discharge, cough, just with a strong intoxication syndrome. - What age group measles is more severe? The course of severe as in children of different ages and adults. Just, the specificity of the virus is. Himself the intoxication syndrome is severe and can lead to affectation of the nervous system, encefaliti and others. Precisely for this reason, many years ago it came to the manufacture of the vaccine. The virus is more severe in children who are too small to be insured, as the earliest age at which can be applied the vaccine, 9 months. NEWS_MORE_BOX - What are the risks hides the measles for pregnant women? As I said, the vaccine, which has been applied since 1991. here, in combination with two other diseases, rubella and mumps. It rovernet virus, the one that was timid and dangerous for pregnant women. Infection itself is very soft, even somewhat surreptitiously from the doctors, but it is dangerous to the fetus and harm in the first trimester. The most important thing is to always pay attention to imunization status and it needs to be age appropriate. We can Not gain a foothold in another continent, regardless of age us if we are not immune soon and we have a study that shows that we are protected and can not become part of the chain of the disease. - Who was the most appropriate moment for placement of the vaccine? The vaccine can be delivered at any time to those that have been omitted and are the subject of immunization. Even with flu, a person may be insured on the fifth day from the socket, and there is a high probability to be sensitive, but you need to know the exact day. - How long is the incubation period? It is quite long - 21 days, but, in fact, on average, from 7 to 10 days. - How is the treatment for measles? The treatment was symptomatic. We have special technique and instruction, it is doubtful suffering you should always consult with infectious disease, perhaps he could assign research to prove the disease, and they hospitalityat because of their high sarsnet. There is no specific treatment with some antibiotic or something that apply. If the development of pneumonia, bronchopneumonia, encephalitis, or other complication that has occurred, to cure it. As with any other disease, patients do not need to go to an organized team, among the population, regardless of whether there is a suspicion of contagious disease, or whether it is a virus that is now fermenting. He needs to seek medical help and stay home. Many of our ""imported cases"" from other countries, were such - there is a suspicion of a contagious disease, but the patient is not samalikova, not to seek medical care, and continues to go to work.

"1371","GOOD to KNOW, Croatian Institute of public health to 24.9.2019. year receiving this signal 33 were suffering from measles in Croatia. By County the distribution of the patients from the beginning of 2019. next year: split-Dalmatia (14 patients), Moscow (11 patients), Brodsko-Posavska County (5 patients), Zadar region (2 patients), the Dubrovnik-Neretva County (1 patient). Currently, a new suffering from measles occur exclusively in the City of Moscow. In particular, only two weeks, even six people from Zagreb are sick from measles, but what especially worries experts is the fact that six of the infected do not know that they were not in mutual contact, and were not detected no connection between them. Although the situation at first glance looks alarming, doctor. Bernard Kaić, Director of epidemiology service Croatian Institute of public health offered a more logical explanation, namely, that in Moscow now there are more unidentified cases of measles who are not registered anywhere. Writing about this exciting strategy diseases Department of public health Dubrovnik-Neretva County and is referred to as the measles very contagious viral disease characterized by a rash, coughing, leaking from the nose, eyes and iritacijom high bodily temperature. Most often occur in late winter and early spring. What are the symptoms of measles? After an average incubation period of 10 to 12 days, first comes fever, then runny nose, dry cough and redness and watery eyes. Also, there are specific Koplikove spots (small white cells) in the mucosa of the oral cavity on the inner side of the cheeks. After a couple of days, there is a specific skin rash first behind the ears and on the face, which gradually extends from the head through the body to the extremities. From zaražavanja before the appearance of lesions is often 14 days (7 to 21 days). The rash lasts 4-5 days, and then fades away. How is measles spread? Measles is transmitted via kapljičnim (the virus is spread through speech, kašljanjem and sneezing) or direct contact with bolesnikom that is. its secretion from the nose and mouth, but also with items contaminated droplets of an infected person. The source of infection is sick for 4 days before and 4 days after onset of rash. Because the virus is very easily transmitted from person to person, zarazit will be more than 90% of the people who were in contact with bolesnikom if they are not vaccinated or not preboljele measles. The virus can survive 2 hours on surfaces and objects. Who gets measles? Measles can get sick all the people who preboljele or measles or have not been successfully vaccinated with two doses of the vaccine. Children of mothers who preboljele measles or have been vaccinated against measles may be protected from measles during the first few months of life. One dose of the vaccine provides protection in 95% of bribery, and two doses more than 99% of bribery. Can there be complications? About 17% of patients have one or more complications of diseases such as otitis media, pneumonia, febrile seizures (stiff neck with fever), diarrhoea or inflammation of the brain (encephalitis). Issues and complications, pneumonia, occurs in about 6 to 13% of patients and is the leading cause of death from measles. According to recent reports, the European Union annually 1 killed thousands of people suffering from measles. The greatest risk of complications and death are children under 2 years, pregnant women and people with damaged immune system. Months after preboljenja measles, a person has a limited immune system, and in a small number of patients for many years after preboljenja may experience fatal complications in brain - SSPE (subakutni sclerosing panencefalitis). How to cure measles? There is no specific drug against measles. The disease is treated simptomatski, and in case of complications, various methods of treatment. Is it possible to prevent obolijevanje measles? Yes! The most effective measure of prevention is vaccination! Measles vaccination is a combination vaccine against measles, mumps and rubella. In Croatia vaccination is done in two steps",7,"croatia"

Maybe % of children can get the disease, but to a lesser degree, and no evidence of disease risk not as large as the vaccine below, said Sjöström. THL's vaccine program manager, Stanley, puumala anti-adds that full vaccine a couple of received can be peace: – the MMR vaccine consists of two doses of. An epidemic in one-dose recipients is a small risk of developing. Two, the dose received is practically not affected.

Older people are Puumala according to the received protection against measles, so that previously infected with this disease. A nationwide MMR vaccination program was launched in Finland in 1982. The rapid spread THL wanted to raise the risk of a measles epidemic, as the disease is very easily spread. – If measles comes to the country, and ill soon get isolated and all exposed studies and quarantined, so the epidemic of the opportunity is considerable.

In Europe alone, has suffered a big fuss outbreaks of measles in recent years, for example, in France and in the Netherlands. In addition, the Finnish frequented turkist target in measles continue to occur. What can you do? The MMR vaccine rejection may be due to the full vaccination response to the new or the idea of the world, which according to the selection of children provided the vaccines, analysis of puumala quality.

"2954","The policies of the current vaccine in the developed countries will not put an end to the resurgence of measles seen in the last few years, finds a study published on Friday 17 may, which recommended compulsory vaccination of children before they enter primary school. The world health Organization (WHO) has sounded the alarm in April, while the cases of measles, a viral disease highly contagious, have been multiplied by four in the first quarter of 2019, compared to the same period of the previous year. This sharp rise in key the majority of people not or poorly vaccinated. If the majority of contamination occurs in countries in conflict or with poor access to health care, many developed countries are also facing a sharp increase in the number of cases, a phenomenon that experts attribute to a distrust of vaccines in general and MMR (measles/mumps/rubella) in particular. Researchers of the foundation Bruno Kessler, in Trento (Italy), were modeled by computer, what would be the situation of measles in seven rich countries by 2050, according to different scenarios of vaccination. In almost all the countries studied (United Kingdom, United States, Ireland, Australia and Italy), the politics of health care as they exist today are insufficient to guarantee a level of immunization, ""course"" among the population until 2050, they concluded. Also read The measles cases have quadrupled in the 1st quarter of 2019, ""It is very difficult to predict future epidemics,"" According to their analysis, the proportion of unvaccinated persons would already be above the threshold of the ""safety"" of 7.5 % in Italy, where several outbreaks have been reported in recent months. In the United Kingdom, where 3.7% of the population is not vaccinated against measles at present, this proportion could climb to 8% in 2050 without alteration of the existing health programs. ""It is very difficult to predict future epidemics,"" stresses Filippo Trentini, co-author of the study, published in the journal BMC Medicine. But "" our results suggest that, at current levels of immunization coverage, the programs of ""routine"" will not be sufficient to maintain the high levels of immunity necessary for the next decades "", he adds.

The MMR vaccine is now mandatory, but the first injection does not take place by 12 months, and must be supplemented by a second between 16 and 18 months. The infants do not enjoy the same immunity as adults to be vaccinated. Measles is especially contagious. A patient can infect 15 to 20 people, and the vaccine coverage (ideally 95% according to the health authorities but by 79% in fact) is still insufficient in France. The virus is transmitted by projections of the saliva, the objects that will be affected by close contact with infected person. The babies who love to touch everything and bring it to the mouth, therefore, are highly exposed. Not only do they have a greater risk of contracting the virus, but they are also more likely than adults to develop complications, which occur in approximately 30% of cases. Babies can develop complications not severe, including middle ear infections acute but also sore throat or diarrhea.

The sick are almost as vulnerable to the pathogen as a new-born, reinforcing the usefulness of the vaccination. Public health professionals had previously observed that the vaccination campaigns against measles were lower infant mortality total. But the researchers were not sure of the biological mechanisms. A team of Harvard researchers, of the medical Institute Howard Hughes and the Erasmus university in the netherlands analyzed the blood of 77 Dutch infants infected with measles during the epidemic that struck the country in 2013: their blood had been taken before the infection, and then again two months after. Measles eliminate the antibodies, The researchers used a tool developed in the United States and it is called VirScan, which identifies all of the virus that has infected previously a person, and that the immune system remembers: HIV, flu, herpes, and hundreds of other viruses. When the body encounters a virus, it creates antibodies that remain and protect from infections in the future: it is the ""memory"" immune. The analyses showed that the measles eliminated between 11 and 73% of protective antibodies in children. The measles ""reset your immune system and return you to a more naive state"", explains to the AFP, the epidemiologist Michael Mina, of Harvard, co-author of the study. The importance of immunization to return to a high level of antibodies and rebuild their defenses, ""they need to be reinfected by pathogens, such as new-born babies, which take a lot of risks in the first years of their life,"" says Michael Mina. The study, supported by tests on macaques, and by another analysis, published Thursday in Science, Immunology, shows that the danger of measles exceeds the only risk related to infection. ""The virus is far more deleterious than we thought, which makes the vaccine more valuable,"" says Stephen Elledge, a geneticist who has developed with colleagues a tool VirScan.",7,"france"

This term corresponds to the absence of continuous transmission for 12 months in a particular geographic area (the term'eradication' corresponds to an elimination on the entire planet). In this case, it is the outbreak continuing in the new york region that alarm the authorities. It started officially in New York on September 30, 2018, and in the neighboring county of Rockland on the 1st of October.

The resurgence of households is mainly due to the passengers non-vaccinated or under-vaccinated contaminated abroad and returning to the United States. This is the case since last year in various regions of the United States, with strains imported such as the Philippines, Israel and Ukraine. ""The only way to put an end to the epidemic is that all children and adults who can be vaccinated are immunized,"" said Robert Redfield, director of the CDC.

One out of four cases required hospitalization, twelve patients were transferred in intensive care and two died. ""Nearly 90% of these cases were not or inadequately vaccinated (2 doses needed),"" said ARS. The inadequacy of vaccination coverage in France is in favour of this highly contagious disease : a person can infect up to 20 people. The country has certainly prevented an epidemic like the one that had hit 24, 000 people between 2008 and 2012, of which nearly 15 000 in 2011. But this does not prevent complications sometimes tragic (pneumonitis, meningo-encephalitis, etc) that, without causing systematic death, may cause serious sequelae. No treatment to cure the disease, Only medication to relieve the symptoms of measles can be given, because unfortunately, there is no treatment to cure this disease, reminds us of the ARS. The only effective way to protect against measles is vaccination a preventive. This vaccine has existed since 1968. The objective of health authorities is to achieve, as recommended by the world health Organization (WHO), 95 % vaccination coverage among those at risk. Adults born after 1980 are part of this category because at the time the vaccination was put in place progressively and the virus was circulating less, and many have never developed antibodies against the disease. However, the coverage with the second dose of the vaccine, which guarantees the immunity, varies now depending on the counties between 62% and 88%, indicated that the public Health France in march. The country of Louis Pasteur is distinguished today by a scepticism against vaccines is quite widespread in its population. Sometimes accused of being dangerous to health, sometimes to be guided by the financial interests of the laboratories, the campaigns for the vaccination are sometimes met with hostility. The government has therefore chosen the regulatory pathway to strengthen the immunization coverage. Children born on or after January 1, 2018 must receive 11 vaccines, including the MMR (measles, mumps, rubella). Before that, there were only three mandatory and eight are recommended.

It is held every year in the spring since 1462 and together for more than five centuries the local producers who decline the pig in all its forms. This festive rendezvous and gourmet has still attracted close to 200,000 visitors during the edition of 2019, which is held during the Easter weekend.

A disease more contagious measles is one of the most contagious diseases in the world for which there is no curative treatment, but it can be prevented by two doses of a vaccine ""safe and effective"", according to the WHO. Measles re-appeared a little everywhere in the world, because of a distrust of vaccines in rich countries or poor access to health care in poor countries. The ""anti-vax"" is based on a publication from 1998 linking the vaccine and autism. However, it has been established that its author, the British Andrew Wakefield, had falsified his results, and many studies have since shown that the vaccine did not increase the risk of autism. According to WHO, outbreaks of measles are rife in the democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Madagascar, Burma, the Philippines, Sudan, Thailand, and Ukraine, ""causing numerous deaths, mostly among young children"". ""In recent months, the number of cases also reached a peak in in countries where the vaccine coverage overall is high, especially in the United States, Israel, Thailand and Tunisia, because the disease has spread among groups of unvaccinated persons,"" said the WHO. In 2017, the 110 000 deaths attributed to measles have been recorded, according to the WHO. The disease is manifested by a high fever and then a rash of plates. It is contagious four days before and after this eruption. Often benign, it can however lead to serious complications, respiratory (lung infections) and neurological (encephalitis), especially in frail people. Health authorities worldwide insist on the importance of the vaccine, at the individual level but also collective: high vaccination coverage (95% of the population) protects persons who cannot themselves be vaccinated, especially because their immune system is weakened. However, this rate of overall coverage (for the first dose of vaccine) has been stagnating for several years to 85% according to the WHO.",7,"france"

"4204","Enough German to get vaccinated. The result: already 170 measles cases in Germany this year. In order to face Here the German is a legal obligation, however, is the wrong way to go, says the health expert of the Green. Green-health expert, Kordula Schulz-ash advocates that parents let their children be vaccinated, but it is against a compulsory vaccination. For FOCUS Online, you commented on the major theses of vaccination opponents. Thesis 1: measles exterminate - it goes well with targeted information. In order to combat the Here of the Germans, it needs no statutory requirements, says Kordula Schulz-Asche. The successful even with a good, targeted campaigns. So far, the appropriate action would be to neglect an important group of the population: Not only many children, a sufficient measles is lacking protection, but also the majority of 18 - to 44-Year-old. Of them, only around 40 percent against measles were vaccinated. ""This group is completely out of our sight"", writes Schulz-ash. Particularly men in this age group are rarely at the doctor, to be informed, therefore, in other areas of life, for example in the workplace through the occupational health management or with the appropriate leaflets. This population was explained to the group is sufficient to be a statutory mandatory vaccination unnecessary. Thesis 2: in order that parents do not miss any Vaccinations, you need no laws, but better access to vaccinations. Currently, 97 percent of all small children already have a first vaccination. The Problem: The important second vaccination, four weeks later, will get significantly less children. This shows a General willingness to be Vaccinated in the population, stresses Kordula Schulz-Asche. She is convinced that parents would bring their children without being forced to a second doctor's appointment, when ""you would have easier access to vaccination"". Long waiting times at the doctor might deter parents must bring a child and a career. Schulz-ash asks: ""vaccinations should also be able to in the health office are carried out, and not only to the doctor, where the waiting times are long. It is also conceivable that a pharmacist can assume, after appropriate training, vaccinations."" Thesis 3: The vaccination undermines the right to self-determination. My body belongs to me, say opponents. You want to decide yourself, whether you are with a vaccination and the potential risks associated with vaccination are associated - for example, redness and swelling at the injection site or fever, and in some cases, the Vaccination can occur. In extremely rare cases, vaccinations can cause severe side effects, such as a disease of the nervous system or an allergic reaction. The risk of a lack of protection is much higher than the risk of permanent damage, but opponents of the vaccination the decision, this albeit very low risk, even meet. Schulz-ash warns, however: ""In many areas, I'm all for self-determination. But in the case of infectious diseases, we need to regulate the preservation of the public health."" To Not go to the expense of the self-determination of the Individual. No feature in a modern society in which the freedom of a Person is for the good of the community through a variety of laws that restricted the ""freedom"" to drive 200 km/h through the city.

"4263","Jasper Baren Berg: Four years ago, the last Time it was discussed about a mandatory vaccination against measles in Germany. Just because a small child had died of infection and multiple cities no longer registered so many cases of measles since the turn of the Millennium. Not much has changed since then, apparently. Headlines make just 26 cases of measles in the district of Hildesheim. In the whole of Germany the number of infections in comparison to the previous year, tripled it. In particular, the SPD Deputy in the Bundestag, Karl Lauterbach calls for, once more, the mandatory vaccination against measles, quasi as a last resort. He has said in the Germany radio. A vaccination is the necessary last resort in the fight against a potentially life-threatening disease? I can speak in the next few minutes, with the human geneticist Wolfram Henn, the head of the German ethics Council, a working group on the topic. The proposed opinion of the ethics Council, however, is still a work in progress. About his personal stance on the topic, but I can speak now. Good Morning, Mr Henn! Tungsten Henn: Good Morning, Mr Baren Mountain. Baren Berg: The Situation in Germany, I have indicated something. At the same time there is the warning of the world health organization, that the Here dangers now belongs to one of ten major global health. This Situation is as dramatic as that sounds? ""There is a widespread scepticism"" Henn: Yeah, you can say clearly, especially since it is a preventable problem. Vaccines are effective, vaccines have few side effects, and therefore, it is an important and right Initiative from the policy, the residues that Germany has, in comparison to the Nations, here to finally catch up. Baren mountain: The residue has to be made up. That's been in the last few years, been trying. Four years ago, some of the requirements were decided on and made. For example, parents must demonstrate before you register your child in kindergarten, in the meantime a vaccination advice. The health Department has received more powers and fines could also work. Why did all of this? Henn: there are different levels. We must ask ourselves to what extent we Here can overcome. There is a widespread scepticism. Skepticism is not a Bad thing, if you go to critical things. But, unfortunately, there are just under social media, some of the a few active, operating without factual arguments, initiatives, ideologies, people are intimidated, and thus, ultimately, lead to the necessary vaccination coverage to be reached. Baren Berg: If I may interject again? This is so often discussed: What is the significance of this, let us call it, of principle, the vaccine critics and opponents. We can clarify in a first step, maybe with you: Are the objections that are often heard are done, the arguments are actually convincing from the world? Henn: There are – say-psychological studies in Germany and also the international viewing – a small hard core of ideological Impfgegnern. The man is not argumentative. But there is quite a large group in the population, perhaps 20 percent, which you can with arguments, which are, perhaps, impfmüde, some are careless. As you can reach, for example, reminder systems these people. A complete Conviction of ideologues you will not be able to afford. ""Because of the rotatable mount needs to be done in the health system a lot"": That is, if I understand you correctly, you could say it might be so: There is a certain negligence and there is an openness to arguments that this lack of trust or skepticism, then reinforced? Henn: that's Exactly where the skepticism with rational arguments, many people overcome. A large Problem where you have to practically approach is the neglect and also the high threshold of access, what needs to be done. Also, since the service providers are in the obligation, for example, with facilitated by guides of vaccinations, for example, that when parents go with their children to the pediatrician, the pediatrician can the parents still vaccinate, that there are Impfsprechstunden on the day of edge to such things, facilitate simple, vaccinations perform. There needs to be done in the health system a lot. Baren mountain: The everything after that sounds now, that this demand, which is now on the table once more, vaccination in the case of measles from the SPD, we hear, but also a tilt of the Minister of health -that you have a different opinion? Henn: We need to distinguish things. A moral vaccination that you can confirm in any case, both in terms of parents towards their children in terms of responsibility towards people who cannot be vaccinated for medical reasons, with regard to people in other countries with poor Protection. We have at the Moment a terrible measles epidemic in Madagascar. And we also need to think of we think of the smallpox, where we have done it – to future generations. Whether a state compulsory vaccination is really the appropriate tool, the to is however,. If you'd asked me half a year ago, I must say, I would have said: Yes, it is so true. The ethics Council has conducted a hearing, at the head of the Department of the Robert Koch Institute and the WHO coordinator for measles Europe, have expressed both of them in the same way that a government-backed vaccination would probably be rather counterproductive – because in countries with mandatory vaccination for certain diseases (here are only the measles in the speech) the Conviction or the incorrect setting of the population can't pay that other important vaccinations are so important and then you would have to buy with an increase in the vaccination rate for measles in poorer vaccination rates in the case of other important vaccinations (I'll take that as an example, the chicken pox). In the end, we should be the swords already sharpen, so to speak, but on a lower level, and in the last few weeks, Yes, a quite helpful discussion of how it's supposed to with the Kita-access be. ""Operating permits for a daycare center depends on the"" Baren mountain: How? Henn: you may consider whether the operating permits for a daycare center depends on that Seeding is ensured, or the activity permission for day parents. At this level, you can certainly go approach is very sensible to the things. But before and in parallel to these sharp methods of awareness-raising campaigns should run. We need a national Impfregister, so you know at all where we stand.

"4273","The measles have of North Rhine-Westphalia continues to be in the grip: After until the end of may, around 400 measles cases in the state had been reported approaching the number gradually to the 500 mark. Already in may had died in Essen, a 37-year-old woman in the measles. An end to the epidemic is currently not in sight. An effective vaccine there is. But the decision to be vaccinated, is in Germany on a voluntary basis. Some of the infection, medical professionals will look with envy to France: The country has decided a few days ago, to raise the vaccination of small children against eleven pathogens from 2018 to duty.

Louis Pasteur is regarded as a pioneer of the Impfprinzips. Against how many diseases you should vaccinate? Three, eleven or 13? France is the second European country to pronounce a comprehensive vaccination. In may, Italy had adopted a similar scheme, the children need to be vaccinated now against the twelve agents.

""The fact is that children today are vaccinated against more diseases than in the past,"" it says on the Website of the Robert Koch-Institute. The Vaccination will but very much milder than previously. The number of different antigens in the vaccines have reduced significantly, in the whooping cough vaccine, for example, from 3000 to 150. As antigens, infections call lying to the characteristics of a pathogen, the immune system reacts and remembers it permanently. In Italy, unvaccinated children are not allowed in the school, at Least in the case of measles, this protection is also desirable. According to surveys, three-quarters of Germans even a vaccination. As rigorously, but such an obligation would prevail? In Italy, the government has demonstrated hardness: children who have not received prior to the Enrollment, all required vaccinations, are not allowed in the school. The parents of high fines.

One case of measles can infect up to 18 people. It is spread by coughing and sneezing, and by close contact with an infected individual. As we enter the summer season with families and individuals travelling on holidays, no person or country is beyond the reach of the measles virus.  “The only protection against measles is the MMR vaccine. Two doses of MMR vaccine (at 12 months and when your child is in Junior Infants) are required to be fully protected. While uptake in Ireland has remained steady at around 92%, we need to increase uptake rates to the target of 95% to make sure that measles does not circulate here. This is important for everybody but is particularly vital to protect young babies as they cannot receive the MMR vaccine until they are 12 months old. They are vulnerable to complications, including death if they are exposed to measles infection.  “Vaccines saves lives and protect against serious illness. Due to good vaccine uptake, we have thankfully not seen outbreaks of other infectious diseases in Ireland that we witnessed in the past but we must not let complacency creep in.

In the first four months of 2019, are 704 persons who have contracted measles in the Usa. Of these, 503 were not vaccinated. The Report Unicef has calculated that between 2010 and 2017, more than 2.5 million american children have not received the first dose of the vaccine. Yet in 1980, prior to placing the first vaccine, there were 2.5 million deaths globally in 2012 “only” 122 thousand. The vaccine rarely then creates adverse reactions: fever in the 2-10%, febrile seizures in 8 cases on 10 thousand, encephalomyelitis, and/or anaphylaxis in a case on a million. Vaccinated, therefore, still remains the best thing against measles (and not only).",7,"italy"

For those who have passed the “door”, is a childhood memory of days spent in the dark, sometimes also blindfolded, tied to the erroneous belief that the measles cause blindness. It is a viral disease that mostly affects children from one to three years, the symptoms are at the start those of a common cold is accompanied by, as, a fever higher and higher, until, after 3-4 days appear small dots of deep red on the skin, which from the face is to propagate, then the rest of the body. It is a disease that is generally benign but that can give serious complications, and even death (30-100 deaths per 100,000 cases.) Already in 2016 there had been an increase in cases that in the beginning of 2017 is literally exploded in a 230% compared to the previous year. This increase is due to the undue collapse of the vaccines, measles is back because it increased the non-vaccinated population, and since there is no specific therapy can be easily transmitted. Unfortunately, in Italy, the vaccination coverage fell below the threshold of safety for the misinformation and prejudices, and you can say that vaccines are victims of their own success. Many serious diseases, such as smallpox and polio, have been eradicated by vaccination, widespread, and timely, but with the time this was almost forgotten, lost to the historical memory of epidemics and infant mortality, and buried in a remote time a sense of security and, indeed, almost of rejection towards one of the public health interventions most effective and safe. Today, the safety threshold of 95%, which warrants a beneficial effect also on the non-vaccinated, unfortunately, is not achieved for diseases such as measles, rubella, tetanus, diphtheria, and hepatitis B.

"6879","Different governments meet today in Geneva to discuss the funds have to be mobilized to address the humanitarian crisis in Yemen. Paradoxically, many of these governments, including the Italian one, are among the main exporters of arms to Saudi Arabia and the other Countries involved in the conflict, which is causing enormous humanitarian needs and hindering the delivery of aid. The says Doctors Without Borders (MSF), which in Yemen has its most important intervention in a conflict zone. In Yemen, the access of people to services and to aid the primary is severely limited because the parties to the conflict continue to destroy the civilian infrastructure, including the health system, while their supporters in the international turn a blind eye. A Centre for the treatment of cholera to MSF, Abs-has been hit by an air strike of the Coalition led by Saudi Arabia and united Emirates (SELC) in June 2018, the fifth against a structure of MSF in the country by march 2015. A subsequent report of the team appointed by the Coalition to investigate the incident has indicated that the MSF as a manager, instead of the victim of the bombing. The parties to the conflict have created barriers, including import restrictions, visas and permits of movement, which prevent the equitable distribution of humanitarian assistance according to the needs of the population. In the meantime, fights and checkpoints continue to fragment the country, limiting the supply of aid for many of the communities that need it most. These barriers block or impede the humanitarian organizations that are trying to reach some areas of the country to identify and assess the needs of the community. Even when the aid can reach the people, remain largely inadequate. Donors, United Nations agencies and their partners that implement activities in the country must reinforce the action medical-humanitarian and significantly increase its presence in the country to reach more people and respond to their needs the most crucial. Major failings in the support of basic medical care have been exposed to many people in recurring outbreaks of preventable diseases, such as measles, diphtheria, and cholera. Also the failure in the protection of civilians and assistance to the wounded of war is alarming. The team of MSF see residential areas and urban turned into fields of battle, where stray bullets, shrapnel from explosions, air raids and land mines affect a disproportionate number of children, women and elderly people. Whoever manages to reach our facilities to seek medical care often takes hours of travel on the roads extremely unsafe crossing the front lines. Many others do not. Many of these patients have already been in other facilities but have not been able to receive the care they needed due to the lack of medical supplies or staff. Governments that commit their own funds must act to remove the obstacles that prevent aid to reach people, and to ensure that the aid provided meets their actual needs. The humanitarian crisis in Yemen will only be resolved when donor governments put an end to their involvement in the conflict, and when they will put the parties in the war in the face of their responsibility for their atrocious conduct, which endangers the lives of millions of people. Among them also Italy, which allowed the sending of ammunition and military systems to the coalition to help saudi arabia in spite of several resolutions of the european Parliament have stressed the need of an embargo on arms sales to Saudi Arabia, given the serious violations of international humanitarian law perpetrated by this Country and verified by the competent authorities of the United Nations. The one in Yemen is the largest intervention of MSF in a zone of conflict. Are more than 2,200 of the humanitarian workers of MSF in the country, working in 12 hospitals and health centers and provide support in the other 20. In total, MSF is active in 11 governorates: Abyan, Aden, Amran, Hajjah, Hodeidah, Ibb, Lahj, Saada, Sana'a, Shabwa and Taiz. From march 2015 to October 2018 MSF has assisted 973.095 patients, has made 76.436 surgery and gave birth to 64.032 children. The collapse of the health system: the return of the epidemics of measles The team of Doctors Without Borders (MSF) in the hospital of Abs, Yemen, north-west, are facing an increase in the number of patients suffering from measles. Each week we record from 25 to 35 new cases, for the most part the children coming from the rural areas of the country. Cases of measles, highly contagious disease, and today one of the leading causes of mortality among children in yemen are on the rise all over the country. In 2018, MSF has treated 1.787 people for measles in Yemen. The return of epidemics of preventable diseases, such as measles, cholera, and diphtheria, is the direct result of the collapse of the health system in yemen: half of the medical facilities are damaged or not fully operational, the remaining part suffers from lack of staff and supplies, and the people have severe difficulties of access to care. “The ongoing conflict has an impact that is very serious about the health system in yemen, which today is collapsing. For this reason, in the twenty-first century, we are seeing the return of diseases that were eradicated in most of the Countries in the world, thanks to vaccines,” says dr. Pau Eze, contact person doctor of MSF, in the VIDEO from the hospital of Abs. “Here in Yemen are an epidemic of measles and diphtheria, diseases that can be prevented easily with vaccines of the routine. In the room of the quarantine we had to go from 4 to 28 beds for cases of measles, almost always all occupied. The situation is beyond our capacity”.

"6896","MILAN. Why discuss numbers increasing for cases of measles in the United States of America here in Milan? Perhaps the reason lies in the complicated moment, with the anxieties and questions the rational that intersect at sudden accelerations imposed by the science, and we should participate in and contribute to the rethinking with the emphasize the need to vaccinate children. Just what is happening in the US helps us in the awareness not to miss this event. Cases of measles in the United States reached a peak not seen since 25 years, driven by the spread of misinformation about the vaccine that can prevent disease. Officially declared by officials of the federal healthcare. The u.s. centers for disease control and prevention of the diseases reported 704 cases to the 26th of April, with an increase of 1.3% compared to the count of 695 in the previous week. The vast majority of cases occurred in children who have not received the vaccine against measles-mumps-rubella (mmr), which confers immunity to such diseases. The suffering we see today is preventable: he said the u.s. secretary of Health and human services Alex Azar. It is known everywhere that vaccines are safe because they belong to the pharmaceuticals most studied of which we have. A fringe of american parents and of the west refuses to vaccinate their children believing, contrary to the scientific evidence that the ingredients contained in them can cause autism or other disorders. What is proven, however, is that vaccines, in addition to the antigen, decontaminating (the active ingredient), also contains preservatives, stabilizers, antibiotics, adjuvants, and these elements can give problems even serious. In 22 States of the USA, there have been cases of diseases highly contagious and sometimes deadly. None of the cases of the recent outbreak has caused mortality, but the 3% will contract pneumonia, and 9% was admitted in the hospital due to complications of the disease: this was confirmed by the director of the CDC Robert Redfield. Even the president, Donald Trump has urged americans to get vaccinated to prevent the spread of measles: a change of course, from the observations made in 2014 when Trump expressed doubts about providing children with the recommended doses of vaccines according to the government program. In short, vaccinations are important, and the dispute cannot be generalized. The current epidemic has been concentrated in New York city: more than 390 cases have been registered by October 2018, especially among children of the jewish community-orthodox Brooklyn, while most of the recent cases were still in New York and Los Angeles. The national epidemic has intensified: 82 people in 2018, and already more than 40 in 2019 have brought measles to the United States from other Countries, most frequently from the Ukraine, Israel and the Philippines. Although the measles virus was declared eliminated from USA in 2000 - means zero cases throughout the year - the epidemics are still verified and not only because of the travellers coming from Countries where measles is still present.",7,"italy"

Andrea Iacomini, spokesman for Unicef in Italy, is very clear on the subject: “If the vaccination coverage will continue to decline continues, Iacomini – there is a real risk of return to see in our country, scenes that we were hoping to be cast out for ever, and the families who mourn the loss of a child for the fault of a disease that could be avoided with a simple vaccine free of charge. The measles, let us remember, is not a trivial cold.” “There is no specific medicine to combat it, and in the younger children, and with immune system more fragile and can have complications-lethal”. Self-medication and misinformation, The misinformation often does not help. According to the report “Italy to 2016” drawn up by Eurispes, 80% of Italian parents navigate the network and of these, 70% use the information required to take decisions relating to their health or to that of the children. “It would indeed be tragic if, after having fought without respite to drastically reduce the effects of measles anywhere in the world, we see that for prejudice and ignorance we have left, go back to the measles in our homes. We are in favour of any measure that the ministry of Health will undertake to protect the children in Italy by this renewed threat,” concludes Iacomini. But the alarm does not only concerns our country. In the world according to the Un organisation, the virus kills every year approximately 132mila children: 15 per hour, every hour of every day of the year. The misinformation often does not help. According to the report “Italy to 2016” drawn up by Eurispes, 80% of Italian parents navigate the network and of these, 70% use the information required to take decisions relating to their health or to that of the children.

But these steps forward have also seen a worrying slowdown from 2016: by 2017, in fact, experienced a boom with a rise of 30% of the deaths due to the braking of the vaccinations. According to the report 'Progress towards the measles elimination' published in the online journal of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). According to the report, the care of the Department of immunization of the World health Organization (Who), between 2000 and 2017, the estimated coverage of the first dose of the measles vaccine in the world has increased from 72% to 85%. Thanks to these advances, the incidence of annual cases has decreased by 83% (from 145 to 25 cases per million inhabitants). And the annual mortality decreased by 80%, from 545.174 deaths in 2000 to 109.638 in 2017 amounted to a total of 21.1 million deaths avoided, especially in Africa. However, these efforts saw a worrying slowdown.

"6977","Mixed news for who should get vaccinated have generated confusion and misinformation among the people. The Ministry of health recommends that adults between 40 and 50 years of age to be vaccinated if they have been or have not had the measles then and There I are concerned: it will be true, I'll have to get a vaccination, too? I was reading on the phone the news that people born before 1970 should be vaccinated against the measles as a measure of safety. But I've done that vachino by small, I still remember the trauma! The day after the news opposite of the first: they had to be vaccinated born after 1970. How easy it is to create a social alarm in the media, in particular, when the air is already full of prejudices and fears health. With the background of the outbreak of listeriosis in the South of Spain during the second half of August (213 cases), throw another bomb with information regarding the health, coinciding then with the end of the holidays and the beginning of the new year, it seems like a maneuver perverse. If, then, it is confirmed that the first titles were wrong, it makes you doubt seriously upon the good faith of those who have woven the news. It seems that all started from a report of the Commission on european regional verification of measles elimination and rubella, published on the 29th of August. Among other information, the report stated that 4 Countries (Albania, Greece, the United Kingdom and the Czech Republic) had lost the status of Countries free from measles, according to the data of the 2018. On the other hand, according to the world health Organization, during the first 7 months of 2019, the measles in the world has spread exponentially: 364.808 cases, triple the same period last year, but the disease has hit especially Africa, where cases are multiplied by 10, and some Countries in Asia (Philippines, Thailand). In this regard, the August 13, declared Christian Lindmeier, spokesman for Who, that there are several factors to explain the situation, in particular ""the misinformation and lack of awareness on the need to get vaccinated"". Wanted to maybe put into question the movement's anti-vaccine? And for Europe confirmed that the cases in these 6 months, we have multiplied more than two times (90 thousand). In the case of Spain, considered the Country free of endemic transmission” from 2016, there were 233 cases of measles in the first half of 2019, but according to the Ministry of health, these cases are “imported or secondary to their” easy to control. Why, then, agitate the population? The information that these days are in circulation, they say that, since 1980, the vaccination schedule includes immunization against measles, rubella and mumps for all those born in the Country. It has not been so during the previous decade, for that of the sick with the measles in recent years were people born in the years ’70. During that decade, as a result of effective monitoring of the subject of the disease, many people have not been vaccinated and now we have a generation not immunized against the measles virus. Eco that the Ministry of health recommends that adults between 40 and 50 years of age to be vaccinated if they have been or have not had measles.The estimates were exaggerated by at least 7 million people. There is nothing to worry about? Says dr. Amos, José García Rojas, president of the Spanish Association of vaccination: ""it Is well to remember the need to get vaccinated as a preventive measure, but it is not necessary to generate this alarm by recalling a recommendation established a long time ago. The misinformation has led to talk of a rebound of measles, instead of the praise that this disease has a cure and that his advance in the world can be stopped.""",7,"italy"

"7075","Vaccination against measles (Ansa) COMMENT AND SHARE Emergency infectious diseases in Italy? No, of course not. Even if raises doubts about the new 'mini-epidemic' by the virus chikungunya: 47 confirmed cases in the Lazio region and the other in Lombardy and in Marche, which could increase in the next few days. Much more worrying on the plane epidemiological the real epidemic of measles taking place in our Country, now a bit 'forgotten' by the press: 4487 cases, up to today, with 35% of complications, and 3 died, a percentage of 88% of non-vaccinated among the sick. Infection by chikungunya, a virus transmitted to man by the bite of the mosquito-tiger, causes a benign disease: high fever for a few days, with vomiting, muscle and joint pain, the latter often persisting for months after the acute phase of the disease. The risk of complications, hemorrhagic and neurological, is modest and the percentage of mortality (usually in people with other diseases) is very low. The real current problem is in the prohibition – rightly immediately put in place – to donate blood for the entire population potentially at risk of infection, more than a million people. In fact, the virus remains present in the blood of an infected person for several days after the infection, and the use of a transfusion transmitted disease. The freezing of the donations is correct (we must avoid the repetition of cases in which he had been transfused infected blood, as has happened in the past), but has led to a situation of local emergency in the Lazio region should, however, be overcome through the generous and send blood bags from the centers-a collection of the other regions. On the health plan, the situation of the infection, chikungunya is under control and appears to be easily manageable. However, this last case (that is, after the recent uproar sparked by the tragic death from malaria of a child – although probably related to an 'accident' of iatrogenic nature, that is, a contamination in-hospital – and that of the fatal case of meningitis in Tuscany at the end of last year), together with the already mentioned and well the most worrying epidemic of measles, imposes some reflections on the increasingly pop-up on the scene Italian health care of infectious diseases. A scenario in which we were not accustomed for several decades, even if typical of other eras in our Country, and unfortunately, rather more dramatically usual in many other areas of the world. The outbreak of infections by chikungunya also presents other aspects of 'novelty'. The virus origin of the disease is of tropical origin (the odd name derives from a term in a language of Tanzania and means, literally, ""what makes her squirm "", in relation to the pains in the joints of the disease) and its vector, that is, the animal which transmits it to the man, is the mosquito-tiger, a species not typical of our zone, absent in Italy until twenty years ago. In addition to this infectious disease 'imported' recently (the first Italian cases were reported in 2007), there are two other relevant types of infection encountered in the past in our Country due to viruses from other geographical areas, always transmitted through the bite of the mosquito, and, potentially, sources of possible future outbreaks: one more content in 2016 due to the virus Zika, from the Latin-american, risky, especially for pregnant women since it can result in a severe fetal malformation, microcephaly",7,"italy"

The children's disease known for the reason that the tendency of them to catch very early. The child saslimstot, often developing complication, possibly a fatal disease outcome. This is the reason why the disease is vaccination. The child in the first few months of life the specialists of the vaccine are recommended for treatment of the diseases, which can lead to disability or even death, thus creating an artificial immunity. If there is already an adult is a childhood-acquired immunity against the child's illness, the meaning is that he as an adult had not been protected. Indeed measles is a dangerous? Measles and rubella in a highly dangerous it is for pregnant women. If the mother is diagnosed with one of these hospitals, there is almost a 100% chance that the baby will be born with a disability. The disease may be indications for medical abortions. If a woman is planning a baby and are not sure of, or been vaccinated, you should test for the detection of antibodies in the blood. Specialists recommend that for a modern society to look a bit different. It is a medicine, including a vaccine, which allows you to heal or option for those people, who from time to time back would not only support, but also died as a result. It is the part of the people, who for various reasons, not to vaccinate, so the rest of the vakcinejoties you can protect both yourself and those who have not been vaccinated. The people who were born before the 1960's. for the year, you can be assured, because, most likely, the measles will have to parslimojuši.

The most at-risk group are people who were born after 1991. up until 1996. for the year, when Latvia has changed the health care system. It was paired with changes to a vaccine – from-Russia-made switched to a Western-made vaccines. If a person is aware that there is a parslimojis measles, or rubella, the second time in life, not sick, and are not repeated javakcinejas. If there is a rash, which may lead to a suspicion of the disease to the measles, had to go to the doctor, and don't need to walk around and show to others. What people need to know about your current saslimušajiem with the measles? Latvia is small enough, to seriously comprehend each of the infected cases. At the moment identified, there are four cases. The two saslimušie of them are airport employees. In general, four cases may seem to be very few. However, in looking historical in the past, in 2014. in 37 of the cases. One of the saslimušajam Children's Clinical university hospital, the admissions department nurse, who daily comes into contact with a very large number of people. People are likely to nepotejas, if there is a lack of, or incorrect, information. If the doctor would have plenty of time to talk to each and every individual, and people should be more aware of the fact that there is a javakcinejas against infectious diseases. At the same time, the physician does not need to convince people to get vaccinated, but must be able to demonstrate how the infections of the disease can be a dangerous one. As the work of the measles vaccine? The vaccinations help the human body is administered the antigen to which it is a part of the virus or bacteria, our body will slowly get to know and understand that it is the enemy, at the same time in developing materials that are ready for a fight. If, during the life of the human body to be in contact with the real virus or bacteria, it is already in the the disease be able to manage. Adult children have never been re-vaccination against measles and rubella. It is believed, once vaccinated, the activities of which are developing. If an adult is in doubt as to whether he has a good antibody level against the infectious disease, the need to examine, first of all, in consultation with the family doctor. What is the measles vaccine in stock? The end of the year, one of the English doctor expressed suspicions that the vaccine for measles and rubella causes autism. The vaccine is composed of what at the time poteja, there was a mercury salt. Although now shown that a specific vaccine to autism there is no link, since it's the time of vakcinas longer than the mercury salt. Then in response to the hypothesis, resulted in the fact that a lot of parents in the Uk and France withdrew from the measles and rubella vaccine for their children. Ten years later, these began it. The vaccine is composed of a substance that cause the immunity - foreign protein from a virus or bacteria. For this protein there is to swim. Usually, it's in the water. And then there is a need to ensure that, after the injection of virus or bacteria on a piece does not come into contact at once with all of the immune system in order to prevent an anaphylactic reaction, and therefore the present is the adjuvans, which is an aluminium salt. The aluminum salt provides the body with a foreign protein can be found little by little. F can be mikrodalinas of the medium, where the virus or bacteria is growing in importance. Some of the viral vaccines in the present, can be a little bit of antibiotics. Why, after the vaccine receipt, occurs redness or temperature? To establish immunity, it is to be iekaisumam. The inflammation is usually show any side effects like swelling, redness, heat, swelling, function of the short-term restriction, the body temperature to rise. The side effect is not to be confused with the complications, the serious complications that arise unexpectedly. It should be remembered that the complications occur very rarely.

The researchers from Amsterdam UNIVERSITY medical centre and the Wellcome Sanger Institute in Cambridge have a map of the measles virus, the immune system to a standstill. They will publish on Thursday in the Science and Immunology. The researchers used blood samples from children in the Dutch Bible Belt. The children have to have blood to be transferred. First, before they get the measles, and the second time for forty to fifty days after they had been cured of the disease. Memory cells are erased, even though It was well known that children who have the measles, mumps, have, however, is more susceptible to other infectious diseases. In this study, it appears that the measles virus in the cells of the immune system to clear it. This is to remember which of the disease you have, and how you, the agent have to combat. It is clear, from the memory, may explain why children who have the measles will have had a different disease can get. The researchers are able to conclude that, because they are found in the blood of children who have measles had been in the memory cells have been erased. “This is a remarkable finding,” says one of the researchers, prof Colin Russell, of Amsterdam's UNIVERSITY medical center. “Most of the kids are happy to be able to keep their immune system in a very short period of time in order to get it, but ten per cent, of the cases that does not work. These children are three to five years to get their immune system to recover and be all the time a strong increase of the staff.

As a result of complications, people die of pneumonia, and some have a bomb with delayed ignition, which appears even in a few decades, and causes inflammation of the brain, which, unfortunately, can not be cured, explains Professor Gut. This disease in Poland has not been since the 90-ies, but in Germany, where more cases of measles at present, according to Professor three cases of this type of encephalitis.

Since there are a lot of questions that we have to do this: “what is measles? Is it serious? What can I do to protect myself?” Measles is an infectious disease that is spread through the respiratory tract by droplets, or aerosols, or through direct contact with body fluids of affected individuals. The incubation period (the time period in which the virus remains in the body without manifesting itself takes about 10 days. The disease begins to manifest itself in the period from prodrómico, which lasts for about 6 days), fever, malaise, a feeling of being “cold”, conjunctivitis, and photophobia, and see the Koplik's spots on the oral mucosa. After this phase comes the phase of rash, which is characterised by the appearance of the rash maculo-papulares red that starts on the face and in the region, retroauricular, and that if you extend it then to the trunk. These “spots” will persist for about 5 to 6 days. After that, it follows that the period of convalescence, in which the spots will begin to flake off and disappear. In the majority of cases, this disease is benign and self-limiting. In spite of the World Health Organization (WHO) has set the target date for the elimination of measles from the european countries, up to 2020, as of 2010, there has been a resurgence of the disease in a number of european countries. In fact, in the fall of 2017, was issued a warning by the WHO, due to the increasing number of cases in a number of european countries. ""Given the migratory flow of the population (massification of travel, and the movement of' anti-vaccines ' was very much in vogue in the past few years, it is very difficult to predict the evolution of the transmission of the disease. The best way to prevent and to eradicate this disease is through vaccination. In fact, the national programme of immunization includes vaccination of all children at 12 months of age and at 5 years of age or older. It is expected that the vast majority of the Portuguese population has been vaccinated, or, on the other hand, has suffered from the disease in early childhood, and are thus protected, which in a way, it keeps the disease limited to the population groups that were restricted. But be warned... not all of the diseases that they cause “spotting”, and a fever to match the measles! The differential diagnosis is done with small pox, scarlet fever, the rash is sudden, the disease, among others.

In the first two months of 2017, more than 1,500 cases of measles have been reported in 14 european countries, due to ""an accumulation of individuals vaccinated,"" said a official of the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC). The ten countries are Austria, Belgium, bulgaria, Croatia, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Romania, russia, Spain, and Sweden — the number of reported cases in the period from January to February in 2017 have more than doubled those recorded in the first quarter of 2016. ""It is unacceptable to find that both adults and children, are dying due to the disease in circumstances in which there are available vaccines that are safe and cost-effective,"" said the european commissioner for health, Vytenis Andriukaitis, in a response to the data to ECDC. Measles is a highly contagious virus that is spread through direct contact and through the air. The disease can be prevented with the help of a safe and effective vaccine, however, due to gaps in the immunization, it remains one of the most important factors that led to the death of the children of the world, according to the source. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), measles is one of the leading causes of death among children in 2015, at a global level, with 134.200 of the deaths associated with this disease.

In 2015 and 2016, the approximately one-third of the total number of measles cases in Europe have been targeting adults over the age of 20 years. Confidence in the immunization programmes is a major concern for the health of the population at the global level, the lack of it leading to a refusal of a vaccine that can save your life. According to experts, the negative attitudes may be due to the controversy surrounding the suspected side effects, and of the reluctance shown by some doctors. A lot of adults don't realize the importance of vaccines for immunisation against diseases such as measles, believing falsely that they are only harmful for babies, and school children, as also indicated by the source cited.

"49313","Measles is a devastating illness that can develop into pneumonia or meningitis and even prove fatal. It starts with a rash and cold-like symptoms, and one in five sufferers experiences complications such as ear infections, diarrhoea and vomiting. There is no treatment for the illness; the combined measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine is the only way to prevent it. The vaccine comprises of two injections. The first dose of the MMR jab protects 90 percent of those who receive it, and the second dose tops this up to 99 percent protection.  Children in the UK are given their first dose of the vaccine when they turn one, and the second dose before they start school. But it’s not just children to be concerned about. Adults, especially if they’re travelling to certain parts of Europe, should ensure their measles, mumps and rubella immunity is up to date. “Unvaccinated people travelling to Romania, Italy and Germany – where there are large outbreaks – are at particularly high risk,” the NHS warns. If an adult catches the illness, they are likely to get sicker than a child would, and suffer for longer.  GETTY MMR vaccine: Adults should check their measles immunity is up to date  Signs and symptoms of the measles Tue, April 4, 2017 Measles - a contagious virus with the potential to cause serious illness and even death - is spreading around Europe and experts from the World Health Organisation said people who haven’t had the vaccine are at risk.

Public Health England (PHE) have issued a warning to parents of children under five years old who have missed their measles vaccinations.  Health experts are working with local councils and NHS partners to make sure anyone who needs a vaccination is aware of their importance.  Families will receive a reminder letter from NHS England (West Midlands) and PHE West Midlands this week, asking them to arrange immunisation at their GP surgery.  At the same time, PHE has written to all West Midlands GPs asking them to be on the alert for the symptoms of measles and to take the opportunity to immunise children and adults who may not have received two doses of the MMR (measles) vaccine.  The call comes as the outbreak, which originally focused in Birmingham and Solihull, has now become a West Midlands wide community issue with over 100 cases.  Dr Bharat Sibal, PHE West Midlands lead consultant in communicable disease control, said: “Those affected are all recovering, but it’s important to understand measles can be a very serious illness and lead to severe complications, especially in people who are particularly vulnerable or have other health conditions.  “The current outbreak in the West Midlands has seen 51 per cent of cases admitted to hospital.  “The misery caused by measles is entirely preventable. The free MMR (measles) vaccine is a safe and effective way of protecting against measles, as well as mumps and rubella.  “The ages of people affected ranges from three months to 50 years, however the average age is five years – which is why it’s particularly important for parents to have their children vaccinated when offered.  “The first MMR vaccine is given when the child is one year old, with a booster at three years four months of age, so we are writing to those parents who have missed one or both of those appointments.  “If children and young adults have missed these vaccinations in the past, it’s important to take up the vaccine now from GPs, particularly in light of the rising number of cases in Birmingham and Solihull.  “Check your child’s Red Book to see if they’ve received MMR vaccinations as scheduled, or check with your GP surgery if you’re unsure.”  Symptoms to be aware of include:  – high fever  – sore, red, watery eyes  – coughing  – aching and feeling generally unwell  – a blotchy red brown rash, which usually appears after the initial symptoms  For more information contact PHE West Midlands press office on 0121 232 9223 Out Of Hours 07834 311 393",7,"uk"

According to the data, globally 98 countries reported more cases of measles in 2018 than in 2017, with Ukraine, the Philippines and Brazil showing the largest increases in measles cases. In a statement, UNICEF highlighted data showing no slowdown in the increase in cases in some countries in 2019. “In Ukraine alone, there were 35,120 cases of measles in 2018. According to the government, another 24,042 people were infected just in the first two months of 2019.

"50713","    Measles is a highly infectious viral illness, which can sometimes lead to serious complications.  Although it is now uncommon in the UK due to the effectiveness of vaccination, it can prove unpleasant if contracted.  Who can get measles?  The NHS notes, “Anyone can get measles if they have not been vaccinated or have not had it before, although it’s most common in young children.”  What are the symptoms of measles?  The initial symptoms of measles develop around 10 days after you’re infected, and can include:  cold-like symptoms, such as a runny nose, sneezing and a cough  sore, red eyes that may be sensitive to light  a high temperature (fever), which may reach around 40C (104F)  small greyish-white spots on the inside of the cheeks  A red-brown blotchy rash will then appear a few days later, and usually starts on the head or upper neck before spreading outwards to the rest of the body.  How long does the infection last?  Although unpleasant, measles usually passes in around seven to 10 days without causing any further problems.  Once you have had measles, your body then builds up resistance to the virus and it’s highly unlikely you’ll get it again.  However, in some people it can lead to serious and potentially life-threatening complications, which includes infections of the lungs (pneumonia) and brain (encephalitis).  When should I see a GP or take my child to see a GP?  The NHS explains that “you should contact a GP as soon as possible if you suspect that you or your child may have measles.  “It’s best to phone before your visit as your GP surgery may need to make arrangements to reduce the risk of spreading the infection to others.”  You should also see a GP if you have been in close contact with someone who has measles and have not:  been fully vaccinated with two doses of the MMR vaccine  had the infection before  You should do this even if you do not have any symptoms.  How can I prevent measles?  Measles can be prevented by having the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine, which is given in 2 doses as part of the NHS childhood vaccination programme.  The first dose is given when your child is around 13 months old, and a second dose is then given at 3 years and 4 months.  Adults and older children can also be vaccinated at any age if they have not been fully vaccinated before – ask your GP about having the vaccination.  If the MMR vaccine is not suitable for you, then a treatment called human normal immunoglobulin (HNIG) can be used if you’re at immediate risk of catching measles.

Worryingly, the number of cases in England has been rising rapidly, increasingly by more than half since the beginning of last month, at which point 440 people had been diagnosed as suffering from the illness.    In total, there were more than 13,000 cases reported in mainland Europe in the year leading up to April, mostly in Italy, France, Greece and Romania, said the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control.    Most British people are immune to the disease thanks to a national programme of vaccinations.  The measles virus is spread by coughing and sneezing  However, a now-discredited theory proposed by Dr Andrew Wakefield theorising a link between the MMR jab and autism is widely blamed for a fall-off in the number of children being immunised.    Department of Health statistics suggest that just 80 percent of children under the age of two were vaccinated in 2003-4, with the percentage dropping to 70 percent in London.    PHE has stressed the importance of people planning holidays to make sure they are covered because measles is significantly more severe for adults than it is for children.

There have been 32 cases of the illness, which causes cold-like symptoms, a fever and blotchy rash, from January to March this year across Avon, Gloucestershire and Wiltshire.  This is compared to the same period in 2017 when no cases of measles were confirmed.  Although North Somerset has the highest percentage of five-year-olds receiving their second dose of the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) injection from October to December last year (93.7 per cent) in the affected area, health experts are calling for more people to be fully vaccinated.  Dominic Mellon, Public Health England South West consultant in communicable disease control, said: “While measles is now relatively uncommon in England thanks to the MMR vaccine, those who are unvaccinated or not fully vaccinated, remain susceptible to the disease. The cases we have seen recently in the area have affected young adults.  “It is never too late to have the vaccine, so if you have not received two doses of the vaccine in the past – or you are unsure – speak to your GP.  “There is no harm in receiving an additional dose where there is any uncertainty.”  The increase in measles cases is linked to large outbreaks in Europe. Anyone who has travelled or will be visiting countries including Italy and Germany are particularly susceptible.  Dr Julie Yates, lead consultant for screening and immunisation in the South West, added: “The increase in cases locally across Avon, Gloucestershire and Wiltshire is in line with increases currently being reported in other parts of England and Wales.  “We know in the Avon, Gloucestershire and Wiltshire area, vaccine uptake rates have improved in recent years, but these continue to be below the 95 per cent level required to provide population protection.  “The current increase in cases serves as an important reminder for parents to take up the routine offer of the first MMR vaccination for their children at one year of age and a second as part of the pre-school booster at three years and four months of age.”",7,"uk"

"55213","The latest headlines in your inbox The latest headlines in your inbox  The UK is one of four European countries to have lost its measles elimination status, according to the World Health Organisation.  For the first time since records began in 2012, four countries – Albania, Czech Republic, Greece and the United Kingdom – lost their status as having eliminated measles from the population.  As of the end of 2018, 35 countries had achieved or sustained measles elimination, the European Regional Verification Commission for Measles and Rubella Elimination (RVC) said.  The UK was added to the list in 2017 by the World Health Organisation (WHO).  The independent panel of experts, established by WHO, met in June in Warsaw, Poland, to evaluate reports from 53 countries.  Europe has seen a surge in cases since 2018, with around 90,000 cases reported for the first half of 2019 – already more than that recorded in the whole of the previous year (84,462).  It comes as WHO said misinformation about vaccines, particularly that shared on social media, is as contagious and dangerous as the diseases it helps to spread.  Dr Gunter Pfaff, chair of the RVC, said: “Re-establishment of measles transmission is concerning.  “If high immunisation coverage is not achieved and sustained in every community, both children and adults will suffer unnecessarily and some will tragically die.”  Professor Martin Marshall, vice-chairman of the Royal College of GPs, said the findings were “disheartening”.  “While take-up of the MMR vaccination across the UK are still high, it is not high enough, and we have actually seen a small decline in recent years,” he said.  “It is clear that we are still suffering from entirely debunked claims around MMR that were perpetuated in the nineties – and are now resurgent on social media and other online platforms.  “Work is continuing across the NHS to ensure messages about the safety, and life-saving nature of vaccinations are heard, and it is encouraging that WHO has increased its focus on measles elimination and upgraded action to address the challenges which have allowed this deadly virus to persist in countries including the UK.  “This, alongside a commitment by our Government to tackle a wave of dangerous anti-vax messages being shared online – particularly via social media – will hopefully go a long way in helping the country get back on track and regain our measles-free status.”  It comes as WHO welcomed a decision by social media company Pinterest to only provide evidence-based information from leading health experts to its users in a bid to tackle health misinformation.  The company will give users resources from WHO, the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), and the WHO-established Vaccine Safety Net (VSN) when they search for a related term.  WHO said in a statement: “Social media platforms are the way many people get their information and they will likely be major sources of information for the next generations of parents.  “We see this as a critical issue and one that needs our collective effort to protect people’s health and lives.”",7,"uk"

The 25-year-old, named locally as Gareth Williams, was found dead at a flat on Thursday.  Public Health Wales (PHW), which is tackling an epidemic of more than 800 cases, said tests confirmed only that the man had measles at the time of his death.

""Whatever the cause of death in this case we should not be surprised if, as the outbreak grows, we start to see deaths in Wales"".  Mr Williams' body was discovered in a flat at Port Tennant Road, Swansea at about 08:15 BST on Thursday.  Earlier, police called the death ""sudden and unexplained"".  Analysis Between one in 1,000 and one in 3,000 people infected with measles will die. Globally it is one of the leading causes of death in children. Like many childhood diseases, it is worse when adults are infected as the risks of complications are higher. Two doses of the MMR vaccine give near total protection against the disease. But confidence in the vaccine dived after, now discredited, claims of a link with autism by Andrew Wakefield a decade ago. Experts believe the MMR scare has left more than a million school children vulnerable to the infection. Many people now have no recollection of measles epidemics in the UK. Health officials say the man who died in Swansea had been infected with measles although more tests are needed to confirm a cause of death. But it still acts as a warning of how rampant and deadly the disease can be. Q&A: Measles and MMR  'Disappointing'  There have been 808 cases of measles confirmed so far in the Swansea epidemic, which also includes the neighbouring Neath Port Talbot and Bridgend areas, and further into mid and west Wales.  MMR jabs are being offered in schools although initial take-up was said to be ""disappointing"" by Abertawe Bro Morgannwg health board.  There will also be drop-in sessions for the third Saturday in a row at Morriston and Singleton Hospitals in Swansea, the Princess of Wales Hospital in Bridgend and Neath Port Talbot Hospital.

He told BBC Radio Wales that there was a ""real possibility"" that every measles case could end up in hospital, in intensive care, or have a worse outcome.  ""Anyone born after 1970 should make sure they are immunised, especially those in the 10-18 year-old age group,"" he said.  ""Lots of people are not taking it seriously and we have to continue to promote immunisation, not just to protect individuals but also their families and the wider community.""  Dr Lyons added: ""Measles is a potentially fatal disease and around one in every 1,000 people who contracts measles in developed countries will die.  ""Those not fully vaccinated with two doses of MMR are highly likely to catch measles, which is highly contagious.""  Symptoms of measles include fever, cold-like symptoms, fatigue, conjunctivitis and a distinctive red-brown rash that appears a few days into the illness.  A Welsh government spokesman added that it was aware of a possible death from measles and extended ""deepest sympathies to the family and friends at this difficult time"".  He added: ""We continue to be in close contact with Public Health Wales and to stress the importance of vaccination as the most effective way to protect against measles.""

Greece was among the ten european countries with the most cases, as it was last year, eighth in number of cases (2.193), while he was seventh in the ratio of cases in the total population, with 197 cases of measles per one million inhabitants.Increased the deaths due to measles in Europe, 72 in 2018 from 42 in 2017. Measles is a highly contagious viral disease which sometimes can lead to serious complications (hearing loss, brain damage etc.), even fatal. Reasons for outbreak of measles in Accordance with the ana - MPA overall, immunization rates show improvement in Europe, as well as the percentage of children who receive the <U+03C0><U+03C1><U+03CE><U+03C4><U+03B7><U+03B4><U+03CC><U+03C3><U+03B7> of the vaccine reached an average of 95%, while the second dose 90%. On the other hand, however, growing pockets of resistance to vaccination, particularly in certain countries, where more and more parents refuse to vaccinate their children, usually for fear of the alleged side effects, despite scientific assurances that vaccines are safe and effective. In Italy, p.x. the Movement of the Five-Star hotel, <U+03C3><U+03C5><U+03B3><U+03BA><U+03C5>ß<U+03B5><U+03C1><U+03BD><U+03AC>, has publicly expressed doubts about the safety of certain vaccines and has recently spoken out against the mandatory vaccination. Last year, according to the BBC and the agency Reuters, over 90% of cases in Europe were recorded in ten countries, with first -and by far - the Ukraine (53.218), followed by Serbia (5.076), Israel (2.919 - the country is included in european statistics), France (2.913), Italy (2.517), Russia (2.256), Georgia (2.203), Greece (2.193), Albania (1.466) and Romania (1.087). Estimates Taking into account the population, the Ukraine also had the highest proportion of cases of measles with 1.209 incidents per one million inhabitants, an increase of ten times compared to 2017. The rise is attributed mainly to the fact that in the last few years, because of the conflict with Russia, it decreased dramatically to only 31% in the rate of vaccination, one of the lowest in the world, although more recently it recovered again to around 90%. The WHO hopes that the increase of cases in Europe will prove to be transient, although the current vaccination coverage does not seem high enough, in order to prevent the circulation of the virus in several countries. ""The picture for 2018 makes it clear that the current rate of progress, in terms of increased rates of immunisation, will be insufficient to stop the transmission of measles.

An epidemic of measles is recorded in several countries of Europe. The European Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (<U+0395>CDC) in a recent communication to the measles in the E.E. referred to in data up to the beginning of November, included Greece in the four countries that have been ""affected"" more than the measles. According to the ECDC, from January 2016 until beginning of November, had been reported in E.E. more than 19,000 cases of measles and 46 deaths. The countries with the most incidents this year -to end of October - is Romania (7.759), Italy (4.775) and Germany (898). In the notice of reference was and in Greece, which until then had recorded 368 cases, a number quite large compared to its population. In accordance with the ECDC to achieve the goal of elimination of measles, there should be coverage of the child population and with the two doses of the vaccine at a rate of more than 95%. In Greece, according to a recent study, the vaccination coverage of children in the general population with the first dose of the vaccine is 98,9%, and the second dose in 83%. However, in the Roma communities that have been hardest hit by the measles, the corresponding coverage rates were -at least prior to the outbreaks of disease in 43% and 8%, respectively. It is recalled that in accordance with the National Immunization Schedule, children, adolescents, and adults born after 1970 and does not have a history of disease, should be vaccinated with two doses of the vaccine for measles.

"32616","Measles destroys in the long term our immune system and makes us vulnerable to other infections. The measles virus deletes a part of the memory of the immune system with the result that we lose the ""immunity"" that we have developed in the face of infections that have already passed and so the immune system returns to a baby stage, reveal new research data. Indeed, two surveys of non-vaccinated children in the Netherlands showed that on the one hand, this removes a part of the memory of the immune system after infections and, on the other hand makes children more prone to new infections. The findings were published in scientific journals ""Science Immunology"" and ""Science"" explain why children develop other infections after measles and emphasize the need for vaccination of children. It was found that, after the measles, the antibodies of the children decreased from 11% to 73%. ""We found strong evidence that the measles, in fact, destroys the immune system,"" said Steven <U+0395><U+03BB><U+03BB><U+03AD><U+03C4><U+03B6>, a geneticist in the faculty of Medicine of Harvard University, and author of an inquiry and added: ""The threat of measles is much greater than we thought"". Measles affects worldwide more than 7 million people each year and causes more than 100,000 deaths. The reduction in vaccination rates has resulted in approximately 300% increase in cases of measles by the year 2018. Britain in fact is no longer ""free from measles"" because of the fall of immunity to measles, mumps and rubella. There is a need to be covered at least 95% of the population in order to prevent outbreaks of these diseases. Among children aged two years in Britain, the vaccination rates fell from 91,2% in 2017-2018 to 90,3% in 2018-2019, which is the lowest recorded rate since 2010. Measles causes a cough, redness and fever, is very contagious and the virus can be spread by coughing, sneezing, and even exhaling. From the moment the virus enters the respiratory tract, penetrates the cells of the immune system that are located on the surface between the lung and circulatory function. From there, the virus multiplies and spreads to the cells of the immune system throughout the body. To date, the investigators have reason for long-term effect of measles on the immune system since they were recorded many deaths from other infections that follow measles, but also due to the fact that the virus affects directly the immune system. In the first recent research on the issue, which was conducted by the <U+0392><U+03B5><U+03BB><U+03AF><U+03C3><U+03BB><U+03B1>ß<U+03B1> Petrova of the british institute of ""Wellcome Sanger"" and the University of Cambridge, it seemed that the measles corrode two different sides of defense of the immune system. In this context it was gathered volunteers from three different schools in the Netherlands to participate in the survey. The researchers took blood samples from healthy non-vaccinated children aged from 4 to 17 years of age and attended the course together with this 77 of children who were infected with the virus of measles to the outbreak of the disease in 2013. To deal with the infections the immune system is based on the continuous pumping of a wide variety of immune cells, each of which with slightly different receptors on their surfaces, with the capacity to recognize virtually any pathogen. ""The greater variety of immune cells we have, the better,"" said Petrova. It was observed that, after the measles, the children were much more limited variety. The immune system creates memory cells that remain in blood circulation allowing the body to quickly recognize and eliminate infections with which it has been faced in the past. However, after the measles, it appeared that many of the memory cells of the immune system no longer existed in the blood of children, a situation which the researchers called ""immune amnesia"". This may mean that children who contract measles need to <U+03BE><U+03B1><U+03BD><U+03B1><U+03B5>µß<U+03BF><U+03BB><U+03B9><U+03B1><U+03C3><U+03C4><U+03BF><U+03CD><U+03BD> for diseases for which they have already been vaccinated. The children were monitored by the researchers for about six weeks, so it was not clear how long it would take the immune system to return to its normal function. The Petrova suggesting that it takes about five years for a full recovery. The <U+0395><U+03BB><U+03BB><U+03AD><U+03C4><U+03B6> with its own research team, using a tool called VirScan (this is a tool that the <U+0395><U+03BB><U+03BB><U+03AD><U+03C4><U+03B6> and his colleagues presented the 2015, this detects all viruses that have infected a person, using only one drop of blood. The VirScan can detect antibodies against HIV, influenza, herpes and hundreds of other viruses), examined the antibodies in the blood and found that 11% to 73% of the antibodies were eliminated after the measles. The triple measles - mumps - rubella (MMR) does not create immunosuppression, with the result that it protects lifelong from measles, without, however, causing vulnerability to other diseases. The Petrova stated that the treatment of doubt about vaccines is a complex task and underlines the need for constant provision of adequate reliable scientific findings about the importance of vaccines, Jonathan Bal , professor of molecular biology at the University of Nottingham, stressed that the results of the investigations in combination with the decreasing trend in vaccination in the last few years remind us how important is immunisation not only for the prevention of measles and for the prevention of subsequent complications.",7,"greece"

Mainly concerns young children from Roma communities, and persons 25-44 years of age from the general population who are susceptible to measles. The epidemiological surveillance and the timely implementation of preventive measures (vaccinations), are the most appropriate measures to control the disease. Today, the emergency measures recommended are: (a) Immediate vaccination with the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) for all children, adolescents and adults, who have not been vaccinated with the necessary doses. According to the National Immunization Schedule children, adolescents, and adults born after 1970 and does not have a history of disease, should be vaccinated with 2 doses of vaccine for measles (in the form of monovalent, or mixed MMR vaccine).

According to him, the main cause of the disease is the refusal of vaccinations that reduces the level of protection against him. In Bulgaria and some other countries, access to medical care and culture are an important factor, said Yurukov. There is a legitimate failure in tracking imunization status and rely on outdated methods to do this, he added, and noted that agencies do not punish parents who refuse to imunizare children without good reason. The blogger noted that in Bulgaria, at least in one case because of the conscious refusal of vaccination, but in the world of antifashist movement is much more developed and common than in Bulgaria. In his opinion, the lack of trust in health institutions and active antivaxers propaganda on the Internet lead to the fact that more and more people are skipping vaccinations, and they cannot be installed. Yurukov noted that there are a lot of false evidence that people vaccinated, which makes it very difficult to resolve the crises with more infected. ""The myths that antimacchia charge for the vaccine, have a connection with the current measles outbreak in the United States, Germany and Romania,"" he added. In Germany, the vaccination was based information campaigns and, rather than mandatory, as until now it worked, but antioxytocic campaigns, more and more people refuse to vaccinate, but there are areas with 80% coverage, especially for measles. This leads to constant crises, commented Ivan Yurukov.

The likelihood of a person infected with measles, if not vaccinated, it is 18 times higher than if, says the blogger.

"2975","Paris - State of emergency in a suburb in new york, a surge of cases in Ukraine, deadly epidemic in Madagascar... Disease preventable but potentially fatal, measles re-emerged everywhere in the world, because of a distrust of vaccines and / or poor access to care. . What is the measles? It is a viral disease highly contagious, more so than Ebola, or the flu, and for which there is no curative treatment. It mainly affects children, but not only. The virus, which spreads when sick people cough or sneeze, remains active for up to two hours. The disease is manifested by a high fever and then a rash of plates. It is contagious four days before and after this eruption. Often benign, it can however lead to serious complications, respiratory (lung infections) and neurological (encephalitis), especially in frail people. Health authorities worldwide insist on the importance of the vaccine, at the individual level but also collective: high vaccination coverage (95% of the population) protects persons who cannot themselves be vaccinated, especially because of their weakened immune system (leukemia, treatment for anti-rejection after a transplant, etc.). . Global alert to The world health Organization (WHO) and Unicef have launched a cry of alarm at the resurgence of this disease. The WHO noted an increase of about 50% of the cases reported last year compared to 2017, which have been 136.000 dead in the world. Until 2016, the disease was yet in decline. According to Unicef, 98 countries have reported a larger number of cases in 2018 than in 2017. Ten, including Ukraine, Brazil and France, are responsible for three-quarters of the total increase. In Ukraine, where took place the largest increase, about 35,000 cases have been reported, in 2018, is 30.000 more than in 2017. And for the first two months of 2019, it is already to 24,000. . Vaccine: the hint of the hard life In the rich countries, this increase is largely attributed to a distrust of vaccines in general and MMR (measles/mumps/rubella) in particular. The ""anti-vax"" is based on a publication from 1998 linking the vaccine and autism. However, it has been established that its author, the British Andrew Wakefield, had falsified his results, and many studies have since shown that the vaccine did not increase the risk of autism. The distrust can also have religious. Struck by an epidemic of measles, a county north of New York decided on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency and banning of its public places any minor non-vaccinated. The neighbourhoods most affected are those with a high proportion of ultra-orthodox jewish. ""It makes me angry to see that in the case of measles, we have the tools to prevent, but they are not used enough,"" says the AFP Françoise Barré-Sinoussi, Nobel prize for medicine 2008 for the codécouverte of the aids virus. Because the aids vaccine is the holy Grail after which the research world short for years. . Problems of access to care According to the WHO, ""the primary reason"" for the failure of the vaccination of children is that ""those who most need (do) not have access"". In question: health systems failing in the poor countries. This is the case in Madagascar where, according to Unicef, 77,000 people have contracted measles between September and February. More than 900 died, most of them children. Unicef and WHO have supported a campaign of vaccination of 11.5 million children in February in Yemen, where years of conflict have led to an epidemic. And in Venezuela, which has been ravaged by an economic crisis that has resulted in a shortage of medicines, thousands of cases were reported in recent months. .

It can cause serious complications in infants, adolescents or adults who suffer from it. Here is some information to remember. The epidemic is spreading in France, According to the latest epidemiological Bulletin published on 22 April by Public Health, France, the outbreak of measles continues to spread in France. Eight regions now report of active foci : Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes, Bretagne, Centre-Val-de-Loire, Ile-de-France, New-Aquitaine, Occitania, pays-de-Loire, Paca.

A sick person can infect between fifteen and twenty people from his entourage by air (spatters, sneezing, etc.). A 2011 study helped to explain how this virus is spreading so quickly : it infects the immune cells present in the lung to enter and spread in the body. It then comes out of these cells to lodge in the trachea, and thus facilitate the contagion through the air. The importance of the vaccination 87% of the cases of measles reported in France since November 2017 have been observed in persons who are not or poorly vaccinated. Children under one year are most affected. The only way to protect toddlers at risk of complications : ensure that their family is well vaccinated. To eliminate the disease, it should be that 95 % of the French population is immune, which is not the case. That is why the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine became compulsory to the age of one year, with a second injection between sixteen and eighteen months. If your child's shots are not up to date, check with your doctor or your pediatrician to schedule a catch-up vaccination. No specific treatment There is no cure for the measles. Since this is a virus, antibiotics are useless. The only way to relieve symptoms is to keep the fever down, and to monitor the status of the patient because of the risk of complications. Hygiene measures can help limit its spread, but the vaccination is the best way to protect against measles.",6,"france"

Where is the vaccination in the Hexagon ? In France and in some other countries, the resurgence of this disease more contagious than the flu or tuberculosis (one patient can infect 20 people) is related to the rate of vaccination coverage underweight among 15-35 year-olds and infants.

Kindergarten children and school beginners must present as of March 2020, a measles vaccination. Otherwise, fines. Day care centers are not allowed to take unvaccinated children also.

Parents have been advised to keep their children out of school if they are suffering from the virus.  Ireland’s measles outbreak has worsened due to the decline in vaccination uptake. Health experts have expressed their concern about the increasing number of measles cases across Ireland.  They have stressed the importance of vaccinating your children against the illness as it can be extremely serious in some cases.  Doctors have also advised parents to vaccinate their children against the virus by getting the MMR vaccine.  The HSE is urging those who have not been vaccinated to get the MMR vaccine.    The first symptoms of measles are usually fever, runny nose, cough, and runny eyes.  The rash will appear a few days later usually starting on the face and neck and progressing to other parts of the body. In the beginning stages, the rash looks like red patches that are flat but soon begin to rise. Fever will climb and can become dangerously high.  There may be nausea, diarrhoea, and swollen lymph nodes as well. The rash is very itchy and will last about five days.

"5252","Four European countries have lost their measles-free status amid endemic outbreaks of the disease.  Fears have grown about the risk posed to Ireland’s measles-free status as the countries affected by the reversal include Albania, the Czech Republic, Greece and the UK.  Endemic outbreaks of measles are caused by sections of the population with insufficient coverage against the highly infectious disease, resulting in the highest number of status reversals since the elimination grading commenced in 2012.  This latest data, collected in 2018, has prompted anxiety over slipping vaccination rates, and the World Health Organisation (WHO) has warned that the affected countries need to improve their national immunisation figures.  Every region in the world excluding the Americas has witnessed a surge in instances of measles, an airborne illness that is highly contagious and particularly dangerous to children, albeit almost entirely vaccine-preventable.  Director of the WHO’s department of immunisation, vaccines and biologicals Kate O’Brien identified weak health systems and the spread of misinformation about vaccines for the worrying developments.  Speaking at a recent news briefing, Ms O’Brien said: We are backsliding, we are on the wrong track.  ‘We have a worrying trend that all regions are experiencing an increase in measles except for the region of the Americas, which has seen a small decline.’  A measles-free status is awarded to countries where there is no endemic disease transmission for over a year.  Although Ireland continues to hold its measles-free status, there have been 56 reported cases of measles in the country this year, 33 of which have been confirmed. Between 2017 and 2018, the number of cases of measles in Ireland tripled from 25 to 77.  It has however been reported that the Irish cases of measles were likely imported from other regions rather than originating here.  It is believed that the disease is predominantly spread by schoolchildren who have not been immunised or who have not received sufficient vaccinations, although inadequately protected adolescents are also affected. Some 60pc of patients with measles in the first half of 2019 were under the age of 19.  Symptoms of the disease include coughing, fever and rashes. Measles can be fatal or can result in life-changing disabilities, especially among children. Other severe potential complications include blindness and, in cases involving pregnant women, miscarriage.  Measles is preventable through two doses of the MMR vaccine, which also immunises the recipient against mumps and rubella.  A study earlier this year found that trust in vaccines remains high in poorer countries, but scepticism about vaccines is on the rise in wealthier countries.  Speaking about this alarming trend, Ms O’Brien said: ‘We do see misinformation as an increasing threat.  ‘We are calling on social media providers, communities, leaders, people who speak out, to be sure you are communicating accurate, valid, scientifically credible information.’",6,"ireland"

According to an interesting new study, published in Pediatrics, the immunity of infants to measles acquired through antibodies passed from the mother to the fetus, protects the children for a year, as thought, but only for a few months. And, given that measles can be considered to be a serious disease for subjects that are more sensitive such as children, the latter may have a higher risk of infection with subsequent complications and hospitalizations. In addition, the same children are much more vulnerable to death caused by the disease itself, as explained by Shelly Bolotin, one of the researchers who conducted the study. The same researchers analyzed the blood samples of centonovantasei children with an age of less than 12 months to understand the level of antibodies to measles, and the same results proved to be unexpected for scientists. The latter discovered that during the first month of life, 20% of children lacked antibody to a level sufficient to protect themselves from the virus. To three months, it was already at 92% of children with antibody levels below the threshold considered as protective. After six months, practically all the children had an antibody level sufficient to protect yourself from the measles and are immune to the disease. “This study highlights a real need to protect the children in the first year of life”, refers to the Bolotin also in relation to the growing number of parents who refuse to vaccinate children.

Using a new inference system model developed at the Columbia Mailman School, the researchers were able to estimate the susceptibility and the demographic characteristics of the population in three of the key locations of China, a period which covers the periods prior to the vaccine and the vaccination of mass modern. Up to now, the dynamics of transmission of measles had been largely unknown. The results are published online in PLOS Computational Biology . Despite the vaccination is widespread, measles remains a leading cause of death in children around the world and the elimination of measles has been particularly difficult in China, the largest country with endemic transmission of measles. “Whereas, since 2008, China has reported a coverage of the objectives of vaccination of 95% established by the World Health Organization for the elimination of measles, measles has continued to cause large outbreaks every year for reasons that remain undetermined,“ said Wan Yang, assistant Professor of Epidemiology at the Columbia Mailman School and lead author of the study. With the revolutionary modeling tool, researchers at the Columbia Mailman were able to estimate the epidemiological parameters key in Beijing, Guangzhou, and Shandong during the period 1951-2004. See also A dose of measles virus destroys cancer incurable. The research team has collected detailed data on the annual incidence of measles and vaccination coverage rates for the three sites. Because the data were scattered across an entire city or province in a given year, the type inference system of the model allowed to ricerctori to study the transmission dynamics in the long term of the disease and to identify the epidemiological factors key that may contribute to the transmission of persistent measles. “After validating at the bottom of the inference system of the model, we were able to show off his accuracy in the estimation of the data outside the sample are not used in the model and then apply it to estimate the epidemiological and demographic key to the transmission of measles in 1951-2004 for these three positions,” said Yang. Much of the research on measles in the past had concentrated only on developed countries. The inference system developed by Yang and colleagues takes into account the demographic data of the population complex and ever-changing, models of contact, the age structure, the mass vaccination and underestimation. ‘The main cities in China with large migrant populations have had as a result of endemic transmission of measles during the last decade, "" stresses Yang.

"6943","The Italy of the no vax in the crosshairs of the british press. The epidemic of measles and the political disputes on the subject of vaccines. In these days there is much talk about vaccines, compulsory vaccination, and measles. In reality, it is a year that you talk about, from when the decree Lorenzin, launched by the previous minister of Health, Beatrice Lorenzin, has extended the obligation of vaccination in Italy, for children and young people from 0 to 16 years, because of the epidemics of measles exploded at the beginning of 2017 is still in progress. In 2017 in Italy occurred about 5mla cases of measles, with 4 deaths, while from January to may 2018, the cases registered were 1.716, with the other 4 deaths, 3 of which are in the sole Catania. A situation that is still a cause for concern, although the obligation of vaccination has traced back the covers, however, not yet sufficient for the vaccine MPR (measles-mumps-rubella). In the meantime, the new government League-the Movement 5 Star is working on a new law on vaccines, not even a year since the introduction of the previous one, to reform the obligation of vaccination. There is no mention, in fact, cancellation of the obligation, but its revision or reconfiguration, as already anticipated by the new Minister of Health, Giulia Grillo, who has cleared the ground from any ambiguity on the effectiveness of vaccines. Less available instead of the racists, who have already ready a bill to cancel the obligation of vaccination, and seem determined to go straight to the point of the question, according to what he anticipated their leader when he said that “10 vaccines are useless and dangerous.“ Able to reach an agreement? In anticipation of the new law, the government has allowed parents to submit to school, for the enrolment of children to the new school year, a simple self-certification instead of the document proving the successful vaccination. A decision that has generated discussion, because unvaccinated children can attend pre-school education – provided the parents autocertifichino you have taken appointment at the vaccination center (to declare false information on the successful vaccination is a crime), contrary to the provisions of the decree Lorenzin. In the meantime, are out on the newspapers the first rumors on the new law on the vaccines which the Ministry of Health is working and that would introduce the concept of “obligation flexible“, with assistance graded for intensity and time and epidemiological characteristics and organizational territories. For the effectiveness of the new law will be fundamental to the register of the vaccination national, which will collect data on the roofs, needed to put in place targeted interventions and graded prevention. The register of vaccination, however, will not be completed soon, it will take some time, here is the first issue of the new law. While the italians were struggling, self-certification and change in the law on vaccines, Italy ended up on the front pages of british newspapers with the accusation of having “imported” measles in the United Kingdom. Measles and no vax: Italy on the british press because of the epidemic of measles that has spread in Italy, but not only, it has become dangerous to travel in the Old Continent for those who do not have ancestral seat of the disease, has not been or cannot be vaccinated. So the Times at the beginning of July, it published an editorial hard in which he accused the parties of “populist” that the government be responsible for the increase in cases of measles, also in the United Kingdom, where since the beginning of the year were recorded 729 cases of the disease. The article resumes the alarm launched last may from the Public Health England (Phe), executive agency of the Ministry of Health the british, who had warned the alarm on the increasing cases of measles in the United Kingdom, speaking on “crash national“. According to the Phe contractions of measles in the United Kingdom, are “primarily related to imports from Europe“, so I have been advised british travellers departing towards those european Countries where at the moment we are seeing cases of high cases of measles: France, Greece, Italy, Romania. In the United Kingdom, however, the rejection of the medical opinion in general is part of the mentality of populist and polemic, stressed to the Times. This is not, however, the only british newspaper to take care of outbreaks of measles and vaccination coverage in Italy. On the topic, an article is long and detailed the paper has been published in the Daily Mail, which, in particular, has examined the galaxy of the no vax in Italy (t-shirts orange), taking note of how skepticism about vaccines is is stated in Italy, and other Countries, because of the former English doctor Andrew Wakefield, who in the study of the ’90s defined the “hoax of the century”, had claimed to have found a correlation between the vaccine MMR and autism, it is not a case for which the covers are lowest in Italy and is struggling to take off. As we have discussed many times, in fact, autism has a genetic origin or may be caused by the environment in which the mother alive while she is pregnant, in particular from exposure to some pollutants. Vaccines, therefore, have nothing to do. The article in the Daily Mail highlights how the fraud of Wakefield (the study of which in the meantime has been withdrawn, and he removed) has heavily influenced the public opinion and the parents are the most fragile and frightened, until the creation of real associations engaged in fierce battles against vaccines, not only against the obligation. The stronghold of this fierce movement no vax is in Rimini, the beautiful tourist city with a historic center that preserves the ruins of the ancient roman city, the great beaches, restaurants and many places of entertainment. Rimini instead of merely being a beautiful and popular tourist resort is at the centre of growing concerns about one of the most contagious diseases in the world: the measles. The Mail recalls the explosion of cases of measles in England, pointing out that the cases registered in 2018 are already three times those of last year, with several clusters of infected people returning from travel to Countries such as Italy before the symptoms were evident. The working group of professor Walter Ricciardi, president of the Institute of Health, joined the appeal of the Public Health England warning travellers to check their vaccination before leaving. Mary Ramsey, head of immunisation at Phe, warned that “measles in trip is a big problem, because it is highly contagious. Studies have shown that you can contract this disease even just entering a room where an infected person after that is gone.” On the doubts and persistent skepticism about vaccines or study, fraudulent, Wakefield has sown in all of Italy, the Daily Mail writes: “This is the extraordinary legacy of research discredited Wakefield after 20 years, with fearful parents, and the return in the rich Countries of a disease that was killing 2.6 million people per year before the introduction of the vaccine in 1963“.

Most of the affected people living in four regions: Piemonte, Lazio, Lombardia and Toscana. More than half of the cases fall in the age group between 15 and 39 years. Have also been notified of several incidents of transmission of the disease in the medical world and among health care professionals. According to the ministry, the resurgence of measles was facilitated in large part by the growing number of parents who refuse vaccination or completion of the vaccination cycle at both doses, despite the well-established scientific evidence and the measures of some regions that tend to improve the covers, interacting with the families and parents. According to data from Unicef, worldwide measles kills, each year, 132 thousand children.

For the experts, the problem should not be underestimated since the complications linked to the disease, such as encephalitis, can occur in one case out of 600 children under the age of six months. And the fear is that now they can reappear also other diseases which were considered to be definitively defeats, such as diphtheria and polio.",6,"italy"

With regard to the increase in the number of cases, Berti gives a different explanation: ""Even if there is no doubt that in cases of some diseases, such as, for example, for Tb, to the Lawn are actually growing, however, increased the level of monitoring and control of the Office of hygiene to family doctors asking for the sending of the so-called ""notification"" (a model in which is recorded the type of disease ed.) whenever it is diagnosed with an infectious disease, and from there part of the epidemiological investigation that is the basis of prevention.

Meanwhile, in Germany... And seriously, it gradually ceases to be funny. Motion antyszczepionkowe instead appear momentarily and disappear, hold on so well that more States should respond to their activity by changing the law. The latest example of this situation are Germany, where it adopted new laws on vaccination against measles.

The number of cases of measles is increasing, This conclusion appeared for the first time in 2017, during the sixth meeting of the Union Commission involved in the fight against measles and rubella. From the studies of the world Health Organization (who) show that in 2017. year the number of people who got measles, she began to grow again. This is not good news if we take into account the fact that in 2016, in Europe, we achieved a record low level, if we are talking about the number of people infected with the virus. Record low, that is, 5273. A year later, the number of recorded cases of measles has increased four times – up to 21315.

Antyszczepionkowcy, vaccinations and measles measles is one of the most infectious diseases that we know. What's worse, the treatment process is mainly to combat Ebola patient and provide him with enough comfort to avoid any complications, for example pneumonia. The most effective weapon in the fight against the measles virus, of course, vaccines and while the majority of European countries had 90 percent. the level of vaccination from its citizens (in some countries this level is exceeded 95%.), the number infected annually has decreased. What has changed? As the study published in 2017. scientists from the University of Oxford, reducing the percentage of vaccinated children is directly related to the increasing activity of movements antyszczepionkowych. More and more parents give themselves to convince that vaccines are harmful. Some even believe (completely pointless) that vaccinations are the direct cause of autism. Scientists from Oxford have warned that any fall below 95%. if we are talking about the number of vaccinations over a growing number of measles cases. It's hard to argue with this statement last year to prove that it's real. At risk are newborns and few years of children whose fate is in the hands of parents.

First, the court didn't fully agree with his Bardens and ordered the enforcement of the payment of the sum of 100,000 euro by the Lankans, which was constestat the decision of a superior court. In the context of the supreme court it was determined that slovenia did not pay for it because it is his right to tell the truth if the evidence submitted by the Bardens are satisfactory to the demands of his own, however, the Supreme Court of the German not tell you that the virsul does not exist. Moreover, in the process, they have been used as arguments as well as the fact that Bardens was presented to the 6 items, which combined, contain the required evidence of the existence of measles virus and in Lanka, he explained that he had asked for a single item that contains all of the evidence, which is a play on words with a double meaning in the German language,” explained Raed Arafat is on Facebook.

Photo: Dreamstime More than 41,000 children and adults in the European Region of the World Health Organization (WHO) have contracted measles in the first six months of the year, a number that exceeds ""by far"" the total number of affected persons has been registered in a period of one year during the last decade. And it is that, up until now, the total annual highest cases of measles between 2010 and 2017 was 23.927 last year, and the lowest was 5.273 in 2016. The monthly reports of the countries also indicate that at least 37 people have died due to measles so far this year. ""After the number of cases is the lowest of the decade in 2016, we are seeing a dramatic increase in infections and outbreaks. We call on all countries to immediately deploy measures appropriate to the context to stop the spread of this disease. Good health for all begins with the immunization, and while not the removal of this disease we are not abiding by our commitments to Sustainable Development Goals,"" says dr Zsuzsanna Jakab, WHO's regional director for Europe. Seven countries of the European Region of the WHO have suffered at least 1,000 infections in children and adults this year, namely France, Georgia, germany, Greece, Italy, Russia, Serbia and Ukraine. This last state has been the most affected, with more than 23,000 people infected, which represents more than half of the regional total. Reported measles-related deaths in all these countries, and Serbia reported the highest number of deaths. According to the latest evaluation of the European Commission Check for Regional Elimination of Measles and Rubella (RVC, for its acronym in English), published on Monday, 43 of the 53 member states of the Region have interrupted the propagation of endemic measles and 42 have managed to stop the rubella, according to reports from 2017. In view of these data, RVC has expressed ""its concern about the surveillance, inappropriate disease and low immunization coverage in some countries."" It has also come to the conclusion that the chains of measles transmission continued for more than 12 months in some countries that had interrupted the spread of endemic disease, returning to its state endemic. ""This backward part proves that every person who is not immune is still vulnerable no matter where you live, and each country must continue to pressure to increase the coverage and close the gaps immune, even after achieving the state interrupted or eliminated,"" said dr. Nedret Emiroglu, director, Division of Health Emergencies and Communicable Diseases of the WHO Regional Office for Europe. You can delete the measles, The measles virus is exceptionally contagious and is easily spread among susceptible individuals. To prevent outbreaks, according to details the WHO, you need at least 95% of the immunization coverage with 2 doses of measles-containing vaccine in each country and each year, as well as efforts to reach children, adolescents, and adults who missed routine vaccination in the past. While the coverage of immunization with 2 doses of vaccine increased from 88% of eligible children in the Region in 2016 to 90% in 2017, there remain ""large disparities"" at the local level: some countries report over 95% of coverage and other below 70%. ""We must celebrate our achievements without losing sight of those who are still vulnerable and for whose protection requires our urgent attention and permanent. We can stop this deadly disease, but we can't succeed unless all do their part: to immunize their children, to themselves, their patients, their populations, and also to remind others that vaccination saves lives,"" concludes dr. Jakab.",6,"spain"
"33512","Babies under one year of age who travel to countries of the European Union such as France, Germany, Italy, Uk, Greece or Romania should get vaccinated against the measles due to the ""dramatic"" epidemic that are suffering from these areas and that children of that age still have not received the immunization. The measles vaccine is included in mmr -along with mumps and rubella - which is administered to babies for the first time to meet the 12 months, so that before this age children are not immunized against this contagious disease, whose complications can be serious and even fatal. In statements to Efe, the secretary's Advisory Committee on Vaccines of the Spanish Paediatrics Association (AEP), Francisco José Alvarez, has recommended that all children between 6 months and a year traveling to these countries to attend to your pediatrician to advance the administration of the vaccine. ""Now in Europe we have a epidemión of measles terrible"", which affects countries that tend to be holiday destination chosen by many Spanish families so that, ""if it is strictly necessary to travel to those places"" with children under 1 year of age and older 6 months-before you can not administer the vaccine- ""it is recommended to advance the triple viral"". Measles is a disease infectious-contagious own childhood caused by a virus, and the sign most typical is the appearance of spots Koplik spots (of bright red colour, centred by a white dot), high fever and cough very persistent, among others. The disease can be complicated especially affecting the respiratory system with laryngitis, bronchitis, bronchopneumonia and even pneumonia (in 6 % of cases), which is the complication associated with increased mortality. The measles is not the only vaccine that must take into account the parents who want to travel abroad with their children under the age of 3 years. In the case of visiting countries outside of Europe or the US, Álvarez, recommended to visit between one and two months before the trip to the pediatrician and a Center of International Vaccination, where parents can receive information about the vaccines that should be administered to minors. Thus, the hepatitis A vaccine -that is not included in the vaccination calendar in Spanish - is required for travel to all countries that are not in the Western Europe, the area of Japan and Korea, Australia and the USA, and you can put it after a year. The risk of acquiring hepatitis A is ""very high"" in certain areas if you consume contaminated food or water, he warned. To travel to those same countries is also recommended the vaccine for typhoid fever that, in this case, cannot be given until two years of age. Has remembered, also, that the malaria -or malaria - is prevalent in many areas and, to prevent it, you should take a series of medications that, in some cases it can also manage as of the two years. Álvarez has also referred to the yellow fever epidemic that suffers from Brazil and some african countries and that also can be avoided with a vaccine from 9 months of age. In the case of Asia, especially Japan and southeast asia, there is a disease called japanese encephalitis, which has also with vaccine. The secretary of the Advisory Committee of Vaccines of the AEP has warned, however, that persons under the age of 2 years old should not travel to tropical countries of South america, Asia and Africa as in these places there are many communicable diseases that do not have a vaccine to prevent its spread.",6,"spain"
"38412","The spike in measles cases in Europe has generated an alert of the WHO, that considers them a concern, and constitutes a major health problem worldwide. According to figures from the WHO, in the year 2015 there was 134.200 deaths from this disease all over the world. Fortunately, vaccination has reduced the global mortality in a 79 per cent between 2000 and 2015, which makes this vaccine one of the best investments in public health. That is why it has created a Strategic Plan for Global Measles and Rubella for the period 2012-2020. The target for the year 2020 is to achieve the elimination of measles and rubella in at least five WHO regions. Although this disease is rare in our environment thanks to the hedges vaccine achieved, from a few years ago we come to suffer from periodic outbreaks of the same, this happens when the coverage by vaccination low of the 95% recommended by the WHO. In these moments we are living in a striking increase of cases in Europe. In Spain, outbreaks happen since a few years ago. This year, in Catalonia have been confirmed 41 cases since January, being the first imported case. It also highlights that 20% of the cases had not received any dose of vaccine, while 41% of those affected were unaware of their vaccination status. In addition, in recent outbreaks, the health personnel has had a relevant role in the transmission of the same, 24% of the cases in the outbreak in Catalonia for the year 2014 followed by contagion of one's own health. ""Measles is produced by a virus of the genus Morbillivirus, is a very contagious disease, so that each patient can infect up to 15-20 people around it,"" says Bethlehem Aguirrezabalaga, responsible for the Group Shots of the SEPEAP. The contagiousness starts an average of 5 days before the onset of the rash and remains 5 days after the same. Transmission occurs through coughing and sneezing of the patient. The average time of incubation is about 10-12 days. The first symptoms usually appear 10 days after exposure and the manifestation in the skin, 14 days after the same. The course of the disease is a clinical stages very well defined: the incubation, prodromal phase (catarrhal phase with the facies sarampionosa and the spots of Koplik), phase exantemática (maculopapuloso of the centrifugal type) and phase of decline (scaling skin). Complications are more frequent in children under 5 years and adults older than 20 years. The most serious are blindness, encephalitis and pneumonia. The measles vaccine is included in mmr (measles, mumps, rubella)",6,"spain"
"39412","Navarre has registered in the last few days three new cases of measles in three people living in the area north of the Comunidad foral. According to the information provided by the Institute of Public Health and Labour of Navarra (ISPLN), it is of two adult and a minor, the latter with no history of previous vaccination. From the ISPLN does not rule out the emergence of new cases because the infection can be transmitted from four days before the onset of the rash, has informed the Government of navarre through a press release. From the ISPLN recalls the importance of completing vaccination, which has an effectiveness of 95%, with two doses of mmr vaccine in people born after 1971 who do not have a history of having passed the disease or contraindication for vaccination. These measures are of particular importance in people traveling to other countries where it is still circulating measles virus. Recalls the need to consult with the health services, whenever the disease is suspected. Can be suspected in any person with fever and rash maculopapular, and with at least one of these three symptoms: cough, rhinitis/coryza or conjunctivitis. Any suspect cases must be isolated to prevent new infections. The period of communicability ranges from four days before until four days after rash onset. In persons vaccinated for the disease is possible but much less frequent. In these cases the symptoms tend to be milder.",6,"spain"
"40012","More than a million children have been vaccinated against measles in a campaign of nine months, carried out by the Ministry of Health of the country and with our support. In addition, since November of 2016, our teams have also treated more than 41,000 children affected by the disease in the provinces of Maniema, Lomami, Tanganyika, Ituri, South Kivu and Equator. Measles is extremely contagious and is spread mainly through coughing and sneezing. Primarily affects children, especially those younger than 5 years. For those who suffer complications and do not receive treatment, can be fatal. That's why we have to try to reach the most remote places. For the vaccine to be effective, we have to vaccinate 95% of children between the ages of 6 months and 15 years of age. And in a country as large as the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where the roads are often very poor or even non-existent, and where the displacement can be affected by a serious incident of safety, the logistical challenges to reach the children we want to vaccinate are many and varied. Despite the difficulties that we find ourselves, our teams go out to work each morning with the firm determination to reach the more remote areas, because we know that there children are particularly vulnerable. If the cruel custom of the measles to latch with the little ones we add to the scarcity and precariousness of medical services in those places, it is easy to understand why we have the feeling of being in front of an explosive cocktail of great proportions. Adding to the problem posed by the low vaccination rates that we find in every village that we visited and the huge lack of resources of its inhabitants, many of them internally displaced. So, unless we reach out to them, many of the children who caught the measles in these places and then suffer from complications are at serious risk of falling without being treated. And tend to be always they who end up joining the lists of fatalities. In a canoe sometimes, as happened to us in Bolomba, a territory of the province of Ecuador, where the roads are especially difficult, and where it is not possible to pass even on a bike, we have to get there by walking through the river, Ikelemba in a canoe. It took two whole days to arrive. I remember that we loaded the canoes with all the necessary supplies for the treatment of patients and to vaccinate more than 130,000 children. It was a huge effort in terms of logistics",6,"spain"
"41613"," The Coordination Center Alerts and Health Emergencies (CCAE) issued last December 12, a health alert for a measles outbreak originated at a flight company Vueling. The disease affected six crew members infected by one of the passengers. This news may alarm some readers that measles was a disease that seemed to be controlled in Europe. Don't worry about it. We have all the mechanisms in health in order to eradicate the outbreak and prevent an epidemic. The success of vaccination against this disease is spectacular. Introduced in 1963, when the measles killed 2.6 million people a year around the world —the double of what kills today tuberculosis, almost three times higher than aids-and six times more than malaria— has managed to dramatically reduce the mortality only up to 110,000 cases last year. In addition, the vaccine acts as a ""firewall"". When it manages to vaccinate more than 90% of the population, there is a protection called ""herd immunity"" that makes the few people who don't immunize are protected by the difficulty of circulation of the virus. Below 90% the difficulties begin, and if there is less than 80% of persons immunized in a natural way (for having passed the disease) or by vaccination, the problem happens to be serious. But it is interesting to analyze the causes of the resurgence of measles because they are the same that originate from two of the social problems troubling Europe: the growth of populist right-wing that encourages the movement antivacunas and the negative effects of globalization -which also has many positives - that have generated areas population of marginalization and social exclusion on our continent. At first glance it would seem that in Spain we can be assured because the immunization rate exceeds 95% of the population, because citizens mostly trust in vaccines and the decision socially more acceptable remains to vaccinate children with the mmr (which includes the measles at twelve months and the sixth year of life). In this way it has managed to eliminate the transmission ""endemic"" (that which is presented constantly in a geographical area) of measles in Spain. But the danger may come from outside, from imported cases internationally as have been detected in the plane of Vueling. In an increasingly interconnected world, of little use in the indulgence of feeling safe in our community. There is that open focus and address the problems on a continental scale. There is also to be rigorous in the analysis. Some voices profane have accused the collective antivacunas and the politicians that encourage them to be the sole and exclusive cause for the resurgence of measles in Europe. In reality, it is not so because the causes of the problem are not so simple. The causes are multiple and are combined differently in each country. A look to the east of Europe will allow us to see that the two most affected countries in absolute terms, which are Romania and the Ukraine, are for socio-economic reasons that have increased the social exclusion of the most vulnerable populations. In the case of Romania, low rates of vaccination due to the severe problems of public health and to the existence of pockets of rural population is very poor and large groups socially segregated as the gypsies. In these cases, these european citizens do not have access to medical care for lack of financial resources. In the case of Ukraine, which is home to more than half of the infections in europe, the lack of supply of vaccines (especially between the years 2014 and 2016) and the absence of an immunization programme, well-planned one explain a public health is so unfortunate that it reached the sad record of being the country with the rate of vaccination lowest in Europe (42%). The situation is very different to the western Europe. In these countries, the growth of the ideology antivacunas yes that is the most responsible for the resurgence of measles. The virus has been found in France and in Italy, a few good allies in some political crazy that not only are xenophobic and unsupportive, but have supported the gullible and uninformed citizens movement antivacunas. This is the case of Jean-Marie Le Pen in France and the Movimento 5 Stelle in Italy, which have fostered the distrust of the citizens with regard to vaccines by helping to create a public health problem totally avoidable. Therefore, it cannot be said that all the blame for the resurgence of this disease is due exclusively to the ideology antivacunas instigated by some irresponsible politicians. They have their share of blame but also involves other economic and social factors in every country of europe is the sum of these factors which explains this rising trend of the disease. Remember that to get or not a vaccine is an individual decision. This is totally legitimate and respectable. But we have to bear in mind that it is a decision that also has implications for the collective because when we don't put it or not we get our children provided the pressure of the virus and in this way we risk to vulnerable groups such as very young children and immunocompromised people.",6,"spain"
"42712","The Government of Navarra maintains the recommendations and system of prevention against the measles set up the time and reiterates the message of peace and normality with respect to their epidemiological situation. In addition, the Executive Foral shares and reiterates the explanation provided by the Ministry of Health, Consumption and Social Welfare, in connection with the vaccination of the measles. Specifically, public Health has issued a press release today due to the possible confusion generated as a result of the disparity of information issued in the past few days in the media. In this statement, the Ministry clarifies that the current epidemiological situation of measles in the State has not changed, keeping what is technically known as “removal status”, in force in Spain since the year 2016, as has been recently verified by the WHO. The “state-elimination” assumes that all diagnosed cases from the year 2016 in Navarre and other Spanish autonomous communities are imported, that is to say, are people who have been infected outside the country, or they are people who have been in contact with those same cases that acquired the infection abroad. In this sense, the Ministry considers that there are no grounds to justify a change of strategy or the recommendations of vaccination already established, that are contained in the common calendar of vaccination throughout life. Timetable and stages During childhood, it is recommended the administration of two doses of mmr vaccine (at 12 months and 3-4 years of life). The population of children 4 years older who has not received two doses of vaccine should complete the regimen of vaccination, by maintaining an interval between doses of at least 4 weeks. With respect to adults, it is recommended that vaccination with two doses of mmr, with an interval between doses of at least 4 weeks, to people born in Spain from 1970 on, that have not had the disease and have no history of vaccination with two doses. In the event that the adult had previously received a single dose, administer a second (keeping the interval specified above). In persons born before 1970 are assumed to be immune by having had the disease previously. Health professionals who have not had the disease and are not vaccinated with two doses against measles have a greater risk of acquiring this viral disease than the general population. It is important that this group of people to review your immunization record and appropriate vaccination if necessary. Both from the Department of Health and from the Ministry consider that it is necessary to take advantage of any appointment or visit to the health centers corresponding (Primary Care) so that people are informed and update their respective states of vaccination. Finally, Health reiterates that the population of navarre is not in a situation of urgency. As well, it also reminds those people who require the administration of vaccines that can be directed to your health center, where they can apply and plan for the vaccination. From the Government of Navarra and the Ministry is grateful for the co-ordination and high involvement of all the health care professionals at the different levels of the system, which ensure the measures of performance that are most effective to reduce the transmission of measles virus and prevent the regrowth of this disease.",6,"spain"

"46513","Four european countries (Albania, Czech republic, Greece and the Uk) have lost the battle of the eradication after several years of steady progress towards the elimination of measles in Europe. The seventh meeting of the Commission on European Regional Check (RVC, for its acronym in English) of the Elimination of Measles and Rubella, based on the updates in this matter filed last year by the 53 member States in the WHO european region, indicates that, for the first time since it began the process of analysis in this area in 2012, four european countries have lost their status of having eradicated measles. “To restore the transmission of the measles is alarming. If it is not achieved or maintained a high immunization coverage in all communities, both children and adults will suffer needlessly and some will die tragically,” said Günter Pfaff, chair of the RVC. On the other hand, the Commission's European Regional Verification stresses that Austria and Switzerland came last year to the deletion status of the measles after having demonstrated the interruption of endemic transmission for at least 36 months. For the european region in whole, by the end of 2018, there were 35 countries that had achieved or sustained measles elimination (compared with 37 in 2017), two had interrupted endemic transmission (12 to 35 months), 12 remained endemic for measles and four that previously had been eliminated in re-established transmission. TREND THAT CONTINUES IN 2019 on the other hand, WHO indicated that the increase in cases that began in 2018 has continued in 2019, with approximately 90,000 cases during the first half of the year, that is, more than what is recorded for all 2018 (84.462). The ongoing circulation of measles in Europe continues to be classified within the WHO as an emergency Grade 2, a designation which allows this UN agency to mobilize resources-technical, financial and human resources to support the affected countries. “The great efforts to control this highly contagious disease have taken us a long way towards regional elimination. However, the outbreaks of measles in the course demonstrate that more is needed. Through the activation of the emergency response, the WHO has increased its focus on the elimination of measles and has improved its action. This is the time and opportunity to address any underlying health, social determinants and social challenges that may have allowed this deadly virus to persist in this region,” said Zsuzsanna Jakab, regional director of WHO for Europe.

If your child has had their first dose of the MMR vaccination as a baby, but they are not old enough to receive their second and you are living or traveling to an area with an outbreak, check with your GP, as the doses of the vaccination can be given earlier than usual in special circumstances.  If your child has already started school and they have only had one MMR dose, or have not been vaccinated at all, visit your GP to enquire about vaccinations as soon as possible.  What should I do if my baby is under 6 months?  Babies under six months are not old enough to be given the MMR vaccine. You will have passed some of the antibodies to measles on to your baby at birth, which will give them some protection, but the best approach is to avoid them having any contact with measles.  At what age should my children be vaccinated?  The first dose of the MMR vaccination is usually given at the age of 13 months, and again as a ‘booster’ jab between the ages of 3 and 5. If you’re not sure whether your child is up to date with their vaccinations, check with your GP.  Can you still get measles if you have had the MMR vaccination?  It is very unlikely, but you do need two doses of MMR to be fully protected. According to the NHS, the first dose protects 90% of those who receive it, the second dose boosts this up to 99% protection.  Who is most at risk?  Public Health England have said those who have recently travelled to Romania, Italy and Germany are particularly at risk. Dr Mary Ramsay, head of immunisation at Public Health England, said 122 cases have been confirmed nationwide and that ‘the measles outbreaks we are currently seeing in England are linked to ongoing large outbreaks in Europe.’  Public Health England are urging those who have travelled to Romania, Italy and Germany, who have not had two doses of the MMR vaccine to contact their GP.  What are the symptoms of measles to look out for?  If you’re worried you or your baby has measles, look out for the following symptoms:  Cough-like symptoms such as a runny nose, sneezing and a cough  Sore, red eyes that might be sensitive to the light  A high temperature  Small, greyish-white spots on the inside of the cheeks  For more information, visit the NHS’s dedicated page for the Measles Outbreak.",6,"uk"

This included the fourth successive annual fall in the MMR vaccine for two-year-olds at a time the number of measles cases has soared.  London has the lowest coverage in the country for all 12 routine vaccines, including MMR, where 85.1 per cent of children were vaccinated.  The World Health Organisation says at least 95 per cent coverage is needed to protect the wider population.  A total of 876 cases of measles have been confirmed in England this year, more than three times the number recorded in the whole of 2017.  Uptake of the 5-in-1 vaccine at 12 months fell for the fifth successive year to 93.1 per cent and is now at its lowest level for a decade. The jab protects against diphtheria, whooping cough, tetanus, polio and Hib disease. It has since been replaced by the 6-in-1 vaccine, adding protection against hepatitis B.  The annual 2017-18 vaccination statistics, published today by NHS Digital, measured uptake of the vaccines offered by the NHS to all children up to the age of five.  Uptake of the meningitis B vaccine was 92.5 per cent — the first official measure since it was introduced three years ago.  Other vaccines where coverage fell on the previous year included pneumococcal disease (PCV), the PCV booster, Hib/MenC, diphtheria, tetanus and polio boosters and the MMR second jab.  Rotavirus was the only vaccine where coverage increased. The report does not speculate on what might have caused the drop in take-up.  Dr Doug Brown, chief executive of the British Society for Immunology, called for improved efforts to vaccinate against measles.  He said: “Lower levels of vaccination mean that these harmful diseases can spread within our communities, infecting people who have not been vaccinated, including vulnerable individuals who are unable to have vaccinations such as young babies, people with compromised immune systems or people with cancer. We have at our disposal a safe and effective vaccine that can stop the spread of measles in its tracks if enough people are immunised.”  There have been more than 250 measles cases in London. Public Health England suspects it has been caught and spread by unvaccinated people travelling to parts of the Continent where there have been outbreaks.  Professor Jonathan Ball, an expert in molecular virology at the University of Nottingham, said: “It is really important to try to understand why people are not getting their children vaccinated.”",6,"uk"

What is measles measles is a viral infection caused by the measles virus. It is a RNA virus that belongs to the group of paramyxo of the genus Morbillivirus. The virus enters the body from the respiratory system and is installed in the respiratory mucosa and the regional lymph nodes where it multiplies. Then it is transported by the lymphatic route in the blood and that in various organs. The virus turns off quickly from the heat, light, acidic pH and trypsin. The survival time in the air or on surfaces of objects is less than 2 hours. The cases of measles usually appear at the end of winter and beginning of spring and the disease is most severe in infants and adults mainly due to complications. According to the CDC, ""The clinical manifestations of the disease distinguish 3 stages: the precursor (blue), the erratic and the stage of the <U+03B1><U+03C0><U+03BF><U+03B4><U+03C1><U+03BF>µ<U+03AE><U+03C2>.

The children most vulnerable to the complications About 30% of the cases of measles have one or more complications that are more frequent in children <5 years and adults >20 years of age. The most common complications displayed by the digestive, respiratory, and CNS. Digestive appears diarrhea (8%) and, rarely, transient hepatitis. The most serious complications are pneumonia viral (giant) or secondary microbes (frequency 6%) which is the most common cause of death, acute middle purulent otitis media (7%), acute encephalitis (0.1%) projects with hyperpyrexia, restlessness, agitation, clouding of the intellect, convulsions and coma. Adults suffering from the disease rarely than measles but more serious than the kids. The complications mainly involve the respiratory tract: pneumonia (30%), the middle purulent otitis media (29%), sinusitis (25%). The illness during pregnancy is associated with miscarriage, premature birth, low-birth-weight neonate. The mortality rate in developing countries reaches 25%. Why has it resurfaced measles The recent measles epidemic in Greece, and in which we mourned the victims, was 1978-1979. Since then, sporadic outbreaks recorded by the CDC. For example, the period 2014-15 has been declared to be just one case, while the 2016 no. However, according to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control in the period 2016-18 (up to the month of March) have been recorded 20,000 cases and 50 deaths.

From the official data shows that non-vaccinated people, amounting to 20%. In the event that increase, will appear measles epidemic, and we will mourn victims"". However, in terms of Greece, the cases mainly concern young children from Roma communities and individuals from the general population mainly in the age group 25-44 years, experts explain that this is the result, in the first case, the overall lack of preventive health care of Roma communities, while in the case of the adult responsible for the incomplete vaccination. How to protect yourself, The CDC reminds you that the best way of protection against measles is vaccination. For this reason, it is recommended that vaccination with a mixed vaccine of measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) children, adolescents and adults who have not been vaccinated with the necessary doses. According to the National Immunization Schedule, children, adolescents, and adults born after 1970 and does not have a history of the disease should be vaccinated with two doses of the vaccine for measles.

"35716","More than 5,000 people have died so far this year in the Democratic Republic of the Congo because of the measles , a double number of those who have died from the Ebola epidemic which broke out in August of 2018, announced last Wednesday, the World Health Organization (WHO).""The outbreak in DR Congo is the biggest in the world. It is one of the most serious we've seen,"" said Kate O'brien, director of the service of vaccination on THAT at a Press conference from Geneva.The same explained that until the 17th of November had been recorded in DR Congo 250.270 outbreaks of measles and 5.110 deaths.This epidemic of measles broke out in the country of Africa in June and in September launched a huge vaccination campaign. The WHO <U+03B5><U+03C0><U+03B5><U+03C3><U+03AE>µ<U+03B1><U+03BD><U+03B1><U+03B5> that this campaign is expected to be completed by the end of the year.O'brien stressed that the epidemic has expanded throughout the country and most vulnerable are ""children and infants"".Measles remains a potentially fatal disease. Before the appearance of the vaccine in the 1970s caused the death of 7 to 8 million children a year.The measles epidemic in DR Congo has not become so well known as the epidemic of the Ebola virus that has raged in the country from August 2018 and has so far caused the death of about 2,200 people.Ian Norton, of the service of emergency medicine of the WHO, said that the agency has begun to train some medical groups in DR Congo that specialized in Ebola, so that they can face and the measles.But the efforts of the medical teams are hampered because of the violence raging in the eastern part of the country. The WHO was forced to remove from the RD Congo 49 members of staff working to tackle the Ebola virus in the town of Beni, because of the worsening security situation.From the beginning of the month 99 civilians have been killed by armed groups in Beni, according to the Study Group of the Congo university of New York.""The Ebola response is hampered by insecurity"", complained the Norton.

"35815","Long-term and extremely serious damage to the immune system caused by the measles, leaving the children who get sick more vulnerable to other infections, and even for a long period of time after the cure. Two studies carried out with children who had not been vaccinated in a protestant community in the Netherlands, found that the measles, in essence ""erases"" the memory of past infections is the immune system to recognize potential invaders. So, in reality, the immune system returns to an infantile state, leaving the agency less prepared to fight new infections. In particular, the researchers found that the measles destroys a rate of between 11% and 73% of protective antibodies to the child. ""We discovered evidence that the measles virus actually destroys the immune system"", says professor Stephen <U+0395><U+03BB><U+03B5><U+03C4><U+03B6>, a geneticist at the Medical School of Harvard University and the co-author of one of the studies. ""The threat from measles is incomparably greater than that appreciate it until today."" Worldwide, more than seven million people suffering from measles every year, while it recorded a year to 100,000 deaths due to the infection. The restriction of immunization observed in the last years has caused an increase in the incidence by about 300% by 2018. Historically experts believed that measles has no long-term consequences for the immune system, as well as deaths from other infections increased after each epidemic of measles. However, recent scientific work is the first to reveal the extent of the destruction. The first work, signed by the <U+0392><U+03B5><U+03BB><U+03B9><U+03C3><U+03BB><U+03AC>ß<U+03B1> Petrova of the Institute, Wellcome Sanger and the University of Cambridge, notes that measles is eroding two lines of defense of the immune system, as well as prevents the production of a large variety of immune cells, necessary for the satisfactory protection of the body, and destroys the ""immune memory"", leaving the agency much more vulnerable to new infections. As pointed out in the Petrova, the immune system needs approximately five years to restore. In the second study, the scientific team of professor Steven <U+0395><U+03BB><U+03B5><U+03C4><U+03B6> studied the antibodies in the blood of children infected with measles, and found in 11% to 73% the memory of the antibodies had been completely erased. This, note the researchers, means that children infected by the measles, you probably need to repeat their vaccinations for diseases that have been through this before. kathiemrini.gr",6,"greece"

The number of deaths among 34.300 cases were recorded in 42 countries of the Europe region of WHICH reached 13, with the virus killing people in Ukraine –where it is manifest measles epidemic– as well as in Romania and Albania. The risk is to continue the spread of the disease, warned the WHO. ""If the response to the disease is not timely and comprehensive, the virus will find its way into more pockets of vulnerable people and can be expanded to additional countries within and beyond the region,"" he adds in a statement. ""Every opportunity must be used in order to be vaccinated susceptible children, adolescents, and adults."" Measles is a very contagious disease that can kill and can cause blindness, deafness or brain damage. Can be prevented with two doses of an effective vaccine, but –partly due to the existence of pockets of non-vaccinated individuals– is currently spreading in many parts of the world including the United States, the Philippines and Thailand. In Europe, the majority of cases of measles up to now, in 2019, it was noted in Ukraine, where more than 25,000 people have been infected by the virus in the first two months of the year. There is no specific antiviral therapy for measles, and vaccination is the only way of prevention, said the WHO. Most cases have occurred in people who either were not vaccinated or were vaccinated inadequately. The WHO added that if the area had higher than ever estimated coverage for the second dose of the vaccine of measles in 2017 –about 90%– some countries had problems, such as decreasing or stagnant vaccination coverage in some cases, low coverage of certain marginal groups and gaps in vaccination in older people. The WHO called the national health authorities in the region to focus their efforts to ensure that all population groups have access to vaccines. ""The effect on public health will persist until the ongoing outbreaks brought under control,"" he said, adding that the health authorities should ""identify those who have missed the vaccine in the past, and to reach them with the vaccines they need"".

""But I have to tell you that the first vaccine against measles, we have an acceptance that reaches the 97%. Which means that the parents are convinced that it should be done. The problem is in the booster vaccination, which is usually done in two-year-olds children. There the rates fall very low. Many times they ignore or neglect it. Or come to the pediatrician when the child displays a fever is a contraindication for vaccination. From my own experience I can tell you that in these cases the second embolization is usually done on scheduled visits to the pediatrician with the opportunity of a triple vaccine.

The number of deaths among 34.300 cases were recorded in 42 countries of the Europe region of WHICH reached 13, with the virus killing people in Ukraine –where it is manifest measles epidemic– as well as in Romania and Albania. The risk is to continue the spread of the disease, warned the WHO. ""If the response to the disease is not timely and comprehensive, the virus will find its way into more pockets of vulnerable people and can be expanded to additional countries within and beyond the region,"" he adds in a statement. ""Every opportunity must be used in order to be vaccinated susceptible children, adolescents, and adults."" Measles is a very contagious disease that can kill and can cause blindness, deafness or brain damage. Can be prevented with two doses of an effective vaccine, but –partly due to the existence of pockets of non-vaccinated individuals– is currently spreading in many parts of the world including the United States, the Philippines and Thailand. In Europe, the majority of cases of measles up to now, in 2019, it was noted in Ukraine, where more than 25,000 people have been infected by the virus in the first two months of the year. There is no specific antiviral therapy for measles, and vaccination is the only way of prevention, said the WHO. Most cases have occurred in people who either were not vaccinated or were vaccinated inadequately. The WHO added that if the area had higher than ever estimated coverage for the second dose of the vaccine of measles in 2017 –about 90%– some countries had problems, such as decreasing or stagnant vaccination coverage in some cases, low coverage of certain marginal groups and gaps in vaccination in older people. The WHO called the national health authorities in the region to focus their efforts to ensure that all population groups have access to vaccines. ""The effect on public health will persist until the ongoing outbreaks brought under control,"" he said, adding that the health authorities should ""identify those who have missed the vaccine in the past, and to reach them with the vaccines they need"". Fund report of the United Nations for Childhood (UNICEF) published last month reported that more than 20 million children in the time skip vaccines of measles around the world for the last eight years, preparing the ground for dangerous outbreaks of the virus.

Patients children aged from Bansko and Razlog, probably talking about the import from Macedonia, where the virus took the lives of three children. Is there a danger from the epidemic? Three of Novopecherskie cases refer to children 1.5 years, 1.8 years and 13 months, who was placed in the hospital in Razlog with different diagnoses, and then discharged, before the clinical symptoms onset children.

There is a man 27 years old, who returned from Italy, directly from the clinical picture,“ said Dr. Kounchev. ""Imports, probably from Macedonia, even those who have been to Bansko and Razlog in Bansko we have the data, but in Sochi, we can't find the source, because the disease is so contagious that it becomes very easy and fast, and not need someone in the room watch. Enough to resinate in the hallway and at least can become infected. So were imported so far,“ he added. ""The question was, if you find the soil to develop with us, or not. If something is to limit, to the explosion in Razlog, we and a year later still we will have import in other places, and what will occur in isolated cases or small epidemic of explosions in orchards, nurseries, offices, it's not so bad. The question is, will it be possible to find enough neimann people, cause of the epidemic. I think the conditions are very different from us.

Currently they are in relatively good condition, despite the fact that we have a disease which could deteriorate,“ said Dr. Petrov, and added that their task is to prevent the deterioration of these States and limit epidemic spread of the disease. ""From four months to six years old children. If we have to tell the truth, not a small fortune, but not very heavy. They are risky children at this age because immunity from the mother decreased, and it needs to develop its own, so it is a risky child. Despite the fact that there are several children's diseases, it is good to be under surveillance and monitor constantly. Not trying home treatment,“ - said the expert. ""This is not an epidemic.

"1015","- Assoc. Mamyrov, the number of infected and diseased from measles has reached 759, we ranked sixth in Europe for the spread of infection. Should there be increased penalties for parents who refuse to vaccinate their children? Must be because it is clear that a fine of 50 leva was not working. In Germany it is discussed to be of 2500 Euro, in Italy is also very high. Obviously, resisntant activities about the benefits of vaccines do not produce results. The failures of vaccination, however, are not the only problem for our country. They are problems for Europe and for the United States. As a result, in Bulgaria increased cases of measles and other diseases which we have forgotten because there was a time when inmunizaciones calendar spyreware better. - What are other diseases that are beginning to return due to the lack of vaccinations? Is varicella and cocklust. In respect of varicella Bulgaria is no exception and throughout the European Union. - What is the exception? - Only in our country children are not imunities against it, and it is not the fault of the parents, but because this vaccine here does not. - Why not do it? - For purely bureaucratic reasons. The vaccine is not registered with us for many years before taking us into the European Union. - What prevents to do it now? - There is euromarketing the legislation under which the registration of such products in one hand, the state, it is necessary to do the registration in other States. It is extremely heavy and cumbersome procedure. We had the promise in our medical officials that it will happen this year, are now saying that this will be possible by 2020. Let's hope that the varicella vaccine does become fact and we have. - You said that this is unrealistic sanctions for parents refused to vaccinate their children to raise. What do you think, what size should they be? - Can't decide, but, more importantly, not only did they grow, but also to collect. Now there is something similar to the situation in the traffic police: it is as fines, but not going to. Another issue is that more Neimoidian children from Roma origin. The parents were poor, social benefits. Any penalties to be imposed, not something that would take them, in addition, these same benefits and children. Communities, which because of misunderstanding not to bring their children to vaccination or those antimacchia are more dangerous in this case? - Children antimacchia usually stay at home. Now the problem is measles. But remember the 2006 – 2007 year of the pig explosions that were the result of being used is not a very good vaccine. The vaccine itself, which is for rubella, measles and mumps. When people are not free, meaning that it not instill but for all three infections. The main reason is that most of the doctors are antivaccine. According to the National center of infectious and parasitic diseases in the past flu season was posted 10 181 influenza vaccine. At the same time, the country has 4900 stars. How to make a account, it turns out that each of them is vaccinial only yourself and your loved ones from the flu. - Tell me honestly, if vaccinations? - Not dangerous. Vaccines are civilizational feat. Thanks to them the world population is over 7 billion. people. Already find otematata children with immunization cards, but without the antibodies which shows that the vaccine they were depicted on paper. How do you feel the need to act with such stars and pediatricians? - Must be they need punishment. In fact, the issue is the reluctance and Antioxytocics sentiment among a significant part of doctors. They and parents should be aware that vaccines save lives. Measles needs to be insured more than 95% of the people in society to say that it is safe against this disease. When maksimalnoe coverage falls below this norm, epidemicity explosions, as is now happening, is. This is because it is a very contagious infection. The same thing happens with varicella, the vaccine which is not registered in our country. Since the beginning of the year until now we have 16,000 cases that too much. Navigate to the end of the year will end with a 30 000 with chickenpox. Such a strong infectious disease can only be overcome with high vaccinale coating. When the physicians homeopaths of holitistic and other such stupid thing to say, people no longer vaccinate. - If your not this is the fear that after these words you bring rather to blaspheme him from the society of General practitioners and pediatricians? - Generally I'm not interested in jump as they want. The fact that there are people who have not been vaccinated, many of these people, and a significant portion of those that lead are vaccinated, not vaccinated. As will become clear, starts, one drumbeat in his chest, ""I made them, but they vaccines didn't work"". I don't know a case where someone was imunities and was sick. - If antibacterical movement continues to gain momentum with the pace at which diseases will be the next explosions in the country? - Will from various diseases. Can be obtained from explosions mumps and rubella. - As scary as that rubeola? Like a disease, not someone who knows what to cure. Terrible, if a woman got sick during early pregnancy. - What happens then? - A fetus born with severe lesions. If they settle on time, usually termination of pregnancy. If you do not calm down, children are born with severe malformations. With the recent changes in imunization calendar montoto 17-year-old was not. Why? - Yes, fell. Now preparing reduced and under 13 – 14-year-old that is endlessly stupid. - What are the motives ceases montoto and what might follow from this? - It is possible to resume tuberculosis. Against her currently the world is in levels of morbidity in 1910, and we are in the XXI century. The reason for this is the HIV epidemic. People 20-30 years old who were seropositive, as a rule, there is tuberculosis. Conversely, if at this age have tuberculosis, as a rule, there is HIV. How to remove montoto, introduced it, because he didn't do.

Those who were vaccinated two times, but nevertheless they get sick, the disease is in a mild form. Are we protected? We can understand it by conducting a blood test. You can give the blood for analysis of immunoglobulin G to measles virus, in any laboratory. Blood on antibodies it is necessary to give on an empty stomach. Before the examination it is desirable to avoid emotional overload, you are not engaged in heavy physical work and do not take alcohol. That showed the results of the survey?

The science is clear: a report of the american Institute of medicine in 2014 found that vaccines ""are very safe except in a few very rare exceptions"". In addition, nine studies of control Centers and disease prevention (CDC) conducted since 2003 have found ""no link between thimerosal-containing vaccines (an antifungal) and autism"". - Alarm bell - Or a decline of only 5% in the rate of vaccination of children two to eleven years of age against measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR), would triple the annual number of cases of measles in this age group, who account for 30% of measles cases recorded each year in the United States, according to these studies. ""Measles is probably the first infection to cause an outbreak with a decrease in the vaccination"" because of its high virulence, "" says Nathan Lo, a researcher from the Stanford university school of medicine in California, one of the authors of the study. The United States there are a few tens to several hundreds of cases of measles per year, often contracted abroad. Nathan Lo is hoped that its results will be taken into account by the local politicians at the time to vote on the granting of exemptions from immunization for personal beliefs. ""I think our study is a wake-up call on what we could know... with the decrease in vaccination rates continues, in States where exemptions non-medical, are permitted on the basis of personal conviction"", said Dr Peter Hotez, dean of the faculty national of tropical medicine at Houston (Texas), who led the study. The vaccination against measles, mumps and rubella vaccine is theoretically compulsory in all the States federated in order for a child to attend a nursery or kindergarten, but it is dispelled. According to the authors, 47 of the 50 States accept the exemptions for religious beliefs, and 18 for other personal convictions, according to the authors, whose study is published in the Journal of the American Medical Associations, Pediatrics. ""Our measles control is precarious now, because it depends on a very small decline in vaccination"", warns Dr. Yvonne Maldonado, professor of pediatrics at Stanford University who was not involved in the study. California had eliminated these exemptions, as well as those based on religion in 2015 after a major outbreak of measles, whose home was in the Disneyland amusement park. The vast majority of Americans (83%) believe that vaccination is without risk for children in good health, while 9% think it is risky, according to a survey by the Pew Center in 2015. But the number of cases of measles will greatly increase if the proportion of immunized children continues to decline in areas where the vaccination rate is near the minimum threshold to prevent an outbreak.",5,"france"

In its latest epidemiological bulletin devoted to the measles, public health reported the outbreak of measles in France since the end of 2017 after a decline from 2012 to 2016. To 11 November 2018, it were more than 2,800 reported cases in the year, including three deaths. Cases of measles have jumped by more than 30% in the world in 2017, compared to 2016 and caused the death of 110,000 people, reported in November the world Health Organization (who) alert about the resurgence of this highly contagious disease. The main cause of this outbreak lies in the gaps in vaccine coverage. It is in the regions Americas, the eastern Mediterranean and in Europe, and increases in the number of cases were highest. Measles, a highly contagious infection with measles is a viral infection that is highly contagious and potentially serious. Transmission is mainly by air either directly from a patient or indirectly as a result of the persistence of the virus in the air. The rash lasts 5 to 6 days, the complex shapes are more frequent in patients aged less than 1 year and more than 20 years. They may require hospitalization for pneumonia or serious neurological complications, up to death. The phase of contagiousness starts the day before the first symptoms appear, and extends up to 5 days after the beginning of the appearance of the buttons. Only medication to relieve the symptoms of measles can be given, because unfortunately, there is no treatment to cure this disease. By contrast, there is a vaccine that can limit the spread of this disease and avoid serious complications. For this, it is imperative to check your vaccination status because only vaccination can protect you but also protect others (especially children under the age of 1 year, and immunocompromised persons who may not benefit from vaccination). In 1980, before widespread vaccination, there were 600, 000 cases of measles in France. Today, measles infects about 2,500 people each year. Am I vaccinated ? What to do in case of doubt ?

The reason for these ""outbreaks prolonged and severe"" is the low level of immunization, as the only means of prevention against the measles. This disease is highly contagious and few lead to serious complications, especially in infants. It is due to a virus transmitted by the airborne route and causes a rash which is very specific. Dr. Margot Bayart, general practitioner and vice-president of the union of general practitioners, to help us better understand this pathology through seven ideas received. Measles is a serious disease True. Measles is a disease that leads to neurological complications important. The symptoms (high temperature, and convulsions) may cause severe disabilities in children. Measles does not kill Fake. Measles is responsible, in Europe each year, 35 deaths per year. In 2017, more than 110,000 deaths due to measles have been identified in the world*. Measles is back in France True. For the past few years, measles outbreaks again to talk about them in France. Recently, the New Aquitaine has been affected by an epidemic. But this is not the first time France is concerned. In 2017, 295 cases of measles have been identified throughout the territory. Measles affects only children False. Measles affects mostly children, but the adults can be affected if their immune system is fragile and that their antibodies are insufficient. However, the severity of complications is less important than in younger children. The bouts of fever and neurological problems associated with this disease affect children more because they are full neurological development. We can protect ourselves from measles True. We can protect ourselves from measles thanks to immunization. The vaccine (MMR is effective also against mumps and rubella. Since the beginning of 2018, it is compulsory in France before the age of 18 years. A single vaccine is sufficient to protect against measles True and false. A vaccine, yes, but two doses are necessary : a first injection and then a booster shot. Why ? Because, out of 100 people, only 80 will develop antibodies with the first dose. The reminder helps to ensure that you have protected the whole world. In children, the first dose is usually done at the age of 12 months and the second - for a one-month minimum interval - between 16 and 18 months. Only children should be vaccinated for measles False. As individuals whose immune system is fragile can be affected, the use of vaccination is advised. It is also for women who have a desire to conceive : in order to ensure that they do not contract measles during pregnancy and are victims of a miscarriage. Similarly, the vaccination is recommended for a diabetic on insulin treatment who may be subject to severe complications. *According to a WHO report, TO read also : - Not vaccinated, a pregnant teenager dies of measles - 11 vaccines mandatory as of January 1 : what do the French think ? - 8 myths about the common cold",5,"france"

In fact, last year, it accounts for 24 000 patients and, in 2016, the figure is 5 300 contaminated. This large increase in cases of measles in key countries such as the Ukraine with 23 070 people who are sick. Greece and Italy exceed the 2, 000 patients just like France, with 2 741 people affected by measles. Vaccination is the only way to protect against measles the measles is a very contagious disease that is transmitted through the projection of saliva from coughing, for example. It can cause severe respiratory problems. According to public Health France : ""A person with measles can infect 15 to 20 people "". Therefore, it is important to avoid the spread of the disease to be vaccinated. And, in fact, one realizes that the measles epidemic that currently affects Europe is, above all, due to the lack of vaccination. To hope to eradicate the disease, in a country such as France, it is necessary to obtain a vaccination rate of the order of 95 % of the population. A rate which is, in reality, 90 % in France, but is expected to increase. In fact, since the beginning of the year 2018, the measles vaccine is now mandatory in children from 12 months.

Initially, the home had started in the metropolis of bordeaux. It currently extends to Vienna, with a few sporadic cases in the Charente and Dordogne. ""We must take seriously this disease "", warned this weekend Annie Burbaud, a member of the directorate public health of the regional agency of health New-Aquitaine, on the antenna of France Info. Measles is a serious disease, highly contagious. France has faced from 2008 to 2012 to a new epidemic, a result of inadequate immunization coverage, both in infants than in older children and young adults. During this period, more than 1,500 hospitalizations for pneumonia related to the measles and 34 serious complications have been reported, 33 encephalitis, and 20 deaths. Today, the risk of new epidemics persists, and more than 450 cases have been notified since the beginning of the year 2017. The virus is transmitted by coughing or sneezing. A single person can infect an average of twenty others. Measles is manifested by high fever, general malaise, rash. It heals in two or three weeks, but complications can occur. The most serious, encephalitis, can lead to death or possible sequelae. The only preventive treatment that we currently have, it is the vaccination. The urgency today is to ensure that people who are not up to date on their vaccinations go to their doctor. There is still time to get vaccinated.",5,"france"

If we are unable to establish and maintain high vaccination coverage in every community, children and adults will experience unnecessary pain and suffering, and some will be doomed to a tragic death,"" said Günter Pfaff, the president of the regional Commission of verification of elimination of measles and rubella. ""Alarm bell"" On the faith of the digits of 2018, the disease is no longer considered ""eliminated"" in the United Kingdom, Greece, Czech Republic and Albania. For WHO, the status of""removal"" corresponds to the absence of continuous transmission for 12 months in a particular geographic area. However, ""each of these countries is an example of a national immunisation coverage is extremely high. It is not, therefore, examples of countries whose systems (health) are particularly weak,"" noted Kate O'brien, the director of the department of Immunization, WHO. ""I think it is an alarm bell to the world : it is not enough to achieve a national coverage high, it must be done in every community and in every family,"" she added. Only good students of european, Austria and Switzerland which were granted the status of""elimination"" after ""demonstrated the interruption of the ongoing transmission for at least 36 months,"" notes the WHO. Very contagious and deadly Extremely contagious and may lead to severe complications, sometimes lethal (37 deaths in Europe in the first half and 74 in 2018), measles is usually spread by direct contact or through the air, infecting the respiratory tract, then spreads throughout the body. A single infected person can infect between 15 and 20 other people. There is no curative treatment for measles, but it can be prevented by two doses of a vaccine, according to WHO, which estimates that more than 20 million the number of deaths prevented in the world between 2000 and 2016, thanks to the vaccination. Distrust of the ""anti-vax"" But if this disease reappears today, it is mainly due to poor access to health care, to which is added a strong distrust of vaccines. Thus, in western countries, the ""anti-vax"" claim that there is a link between the measles vaccine and autism. And, more than once, WHO has debunked this theory, based on a study falsified. According to a global survey published in June, France takes the lead of this skepticism, with one in three respondents who do not believe that vaccines are safe.",5,"france"

"3227","A surge in the number of cases of measles has hit Europe since the beginning of the year 2018. In total, 41 000 children and adults have been affected by this potentially deadly infection. And at least 37 have died. The WHO is launching a cri alert for the vaccination coverage sufficient. During the first 6 months of the year 2018, the number of measles cases has significantly exceeded the count of each of the previous 10 years.

This last country has been hit the hardest, with 23,000 people infected. Regarding the number of deaths, 37 were reported. With a record for Serbia, which has counted 14 alone. Vaccination coverage uneven This setback in the fight towards eradication of the disease is linked to a vaccine coverage overall is too low. While it must achieve a 95% to protect the entire population, it amounted only to 90% on average in the region. And large local differences increasing further the risk of contamination, with a coverage of less than 70% in some countries. Indeed, 43 States in the region have already stopped the spread of measles. But the chains of transmission of the virus were maintained for more than 12 months in some of these countries, cancelling the efforts to achieve eradication. Conclusion, it is essential not to lower the guard because the elimination of the virus is never taken for granted. ""Every person who is not immune is still vulnerable to the infection, where she lives "", emphasizes Dr. Nedret Emiroglu, WHO. ""And every country should continue to support improved immunization coverage, even if the eradication is already achieved"".

First external signs of a possible measles infection are red, itchy spots. They are initially behind the ears to be visible. Three days before they appear, is the amount of viruses on the largest. The patient is already contagious, mostly without knowing it. A reliable diagnosis is through the detection of antibodies in the blood. Measles pathogen can be transmitted by aerosol. Infected to pass the virus directly over-the-air in the Form of very fine droplets of saliva or mucus. These arise, for example, when coughing or Sneezing, but also when to Speak freely. Measles are highly contagious. In average, each Affected infected 15 other people. Man is the only natural host of measles virus.

Maybe the Council can help: Just take a deep breath when the Arm swells after vaccination against measles, the school food does not taste good, the Bus is full. This may be annoying, but is part of everyday life. In the case of measles vaccination, it even benefits the society as a whole. (Birgitta Stauber)",5,"germany"

The first symptoms are similar to those of a cold (dry cough, runny nose, conjunctivitis) with a fever that becomes more and more high. Then appear white spots inside the mouth. Complications are relatively rare, and are mainly due to super-infections from bacterial. Measles is one of the diseases more communicable. The infection occurs through nasal secretions, and pharyngeal, probably by air through respiratory droplets that spread in the air when a sick person coughs or sneezes.

"6966","Edited by Dr. Professor Aldo Ercoli measles, the disease evolution is highly contagious and diffusive, but generally benign in almost all cases, is due to a virus (paramyxovirus) that causes a viruses esantematica acute. I think I've visited since 1975 at the end of the century, many hundreds of school-age children (especially the second child) is because back then, there was the compulsory vaccination of 1999, it was much more frequent, both because we general practitioners (then called basic or family) handled all kinds of diseases, beyond specialisations. The rest of the pediatricians were a rarity. Something had to be done, with our modest means, in every field. Someone, as the great physician cervetrano Boffi was called “the women physician,” why did I give birth at home, pregnant women with the help of a woman. Could not a simple measles? I am of the opinion that we, the doctors of “ancient” we had had excellent masters, not only to the University or the Hospital but in small towns, even of the old doctors conducted, dripping with the empirical experience that knew the craft well. I want to refer to a data that will reflect. In the years 80-90 a serious medical research in the Usa stable in almost all of school-age children (90-95%) owned, thanks to its accompanying immune antibodies antimorbillo without ever having had (no history). You were infected with one another without having the disease, including a cough and a sneeze. This is because it is so that you transmit the virus with the droplets that escape from the nose (sneezing or coughing dry. In those places, and back to the years of “non-vaccination” of the parents, when they had a “child feverish with stains” they asked us if it was measles or rubella. This is the dilemma because it is very similar. Measles there was fear because the most serious complications were a rarity. I open the “drawer of memories”. When I went to the home of a sick child and “mottled” I wondered, first, how it was developed over time the rash. If it was started after a period of prodromal symptoms (such as fever, conjunctivitis, with a strong, watery eyes, intolerance to light, dry cough) from the face down, in three days, until the lower limbs was almost certain that it was measles (also by observing the intensity of macules – papules that covered the skin). If, instead, I have come across a disease more mild, with a rash in just a day it stretched at the same time the whole body was, of course, after I see the increase in the volume of cervical lymph nodes and retronucali) that it was rubella. If I was in the bed of the child during the period prodromal (one of the symptoms without involvement of the skin) I asked the family if the little he had, in the ten days previous, contacts with comrades suffering from measles. If the answer was positive, I focused on the eyes of the sick (conjunctivitis, with much lachrymation), listened to the stranuti and shots of dry cough irritant and, “dulcis in fundus” I asked him to open the mouth, to try to 2macchie of Koplik”. Is this a signal that only the measles has, which are tiny red lesions, which are quite irregular, with central blue-whitish, mucous membranes of the mouth (especially above the bone molar). After the period prodromal (one of the symptoms already stated) that lasted 3-4 days followed to esantematico of the spots that you sopraelevavano in papules always evolving in the direction cranio-caudal. At the end there was a recovery with desquamation of the rash that anticipates the complete healing. I have found only a few cases of otitis media and pneumonia, due to the overlap of a bacterial, all those who treated at home with a week to ten days of antibiotics therapy (both with vials, intramuscular, or oral). No hospitalization, or other complications more serious. I have been lucky? Maybe. I also believe it was timely in the diagnosis. In the 90's, some of my patients remember as well that I took care of the rubella with homeopathic remedies, a practice which I never used in the complications of measles. In the measles, which I repeat, is transmitted by air (“born of air”) by the sick who are in the stage prodromal (or eruptive early viruses), I asked the parents that their brothers or friends were far from the cot where slept the children. None of them had to kiss. From 2000 onwards, I confess that I have only seen rare cases of measles for several reasons: 1) vaccination trivalent measles-rubella-pertussis (MRP) of 1999",5,"italy"

All hospitals were recently invited to check the protection status of immunization of their traders.70% of cases affects young adults (aged 20 years). The regional department of Health reiterates the importance of the vaccination in the first years of life. The vaccine for measles is given to children in the 13°-15° month and the booster dose at 5-6 years. Moreover, as the epidemic linked to the presence of susceptible individuals why not vaccinated in their early years of life, it is important to use all of the appropriate occasions (teenage vaccinations in occasions of international travel) to retrieve the protection. Because the measles contract it in adulthood is more vulnerable to complications and forces them to go to a hospital, it is important that hospitals are taken all the precautions necessary so that a place of care does not become a place of the infection. The regional council reminded that the vaccination is recommended and free for all the subjects that have not been vaccinated or who have not yet dealt with the disease.",5,"italy"

The sense of impunity before the law is without a doubt the largest fault of the Minister Cinquestelle that has succumbed to the pressures of the “No Vax”. On this play an important role mayors and the school managers that they must issue, in their respective municipalities administered, ordinances trade union ‘yes ' vax’, or that provide for the admission to the nursery and to nursery schools only to those children from zero to six years whose parents have produced the certificate proving the taken place vaccination, and, in contrast, exclude the possibility of accepting self-certifications. The controls therefore need to be more stringent up to the extreme consequence of to denounce to the judicial authority of the parents that you ostinino to refuse compulsory vaccinations for their children because they respond to the judges. And health authorities, and the schools must make their presence felt, especially in these days of greater alarm to carry out specific checks in relation to the simple self-certifications produced by the parents, who, while acknowledging the good faith of some, have no validity and therefore don't protect our children.”",5,"italy"

"7066","Measles and rubella: yesterday and today edited by Dr. Professor Aldo Ercoli Measles is due to a virus belonging to the family Paramyxoviridae. This is a virus diseases esantematica acute, highly contagious, affecting primarily the child in the second child. In pre-vaccine (trivalent vaccine, MMR, measles-mumps-rubella (mmr), introduced a little over fifteen years ago), the “vaccinava each other” with the contacts and acquaintances in common. Sometimes they were the mothers that them called for in order to make us sick of measles, rubella, especially mumps (in the jargon called “mumps”) to immunize itself, and not get sick “by and large”. I and others, we immunized as well. The transmission occurs through respiratory secretions, especially through droplets in air (coughing, sneezing). When in the mid 70's I started my medical profession, some tens of years before the trivalent, then, yes, I have seen outbreaks of measles. Other than the eight sporadic cases were recorded between October and November in Bari (2018). After the trivalent measles became more rare but also more insidious, I would say more dangerous, affecting even adults, because there were those who were vaccinated (and thus was protected), and who is not (also because he was born fifteen years before, or had not been vaccinated). Of course the measles, although in rare cases, can be fatal but pre-vaccination that were we to do? Since doctor very young, I have diagnosed many cases of measles availing myself also of the experience of an experienced doctor with whom I worked (dr. Elvio Buglioni). The parents called the doctor “old” home to know which disease esantematica had struck their children. Measles? Rubella? Chicken pox? Fifth disease? For me as for my colleagues this was the “daily bread” in certain periods of the year. There were no pediatricians, operative base. We were visiting small children, teenagers, adults, the elderly without distinction of any kind. It's true, those were different times. I assure you, however, that a good doctor had no difficulty in recognizing measles, also because very frequently. The differential diagnosis that more often we had to do was the one with the rubella, other viral disease, only apparently similar. The semeiotics for me, it was enough. In measles, after an incubation period of 8-12 days, we are the “prodromal symptoms” such as malaise, irritability, fever is generally continuous (sometimes intermittent or recurrent), special conjunctivitis with abundant lacrimation, burning, eyelid oedema, photophobia, nasal secretion, dry cough stizzosa, faringolaringite. This is the picture of the period which is symptomatic even with symptoms of little variables from case to case. I remember that when I suspected I was going to search for a pathognomonic sign that only has the measles: “the spots of Koplik”. I'm not sure that today all doctors know. Are small whitish spots at the edges more or less red, localized on the mucous membranes of the cheeks and gums (especially in correspondence of the second molars). After 3-5 days from these beginnings started the period esantematico in the form of macules, items, red or pink flat subsequently you sopraelevano becoming papules. This rash maculo-papuloso evolve from the head to the limbs in the direction cranio-caudal (in just 3 days (according to my practical experience in the rubella this is done in a single day). Measles then these lesions erythematous merge, combine at the level of the face and the upper part of the trunk. Usually everything is resolved in 1-2 days from the onset of the rash although it can persist cough. Measles, therefore, is a disease that is self-limiting, it lights up as you turn it off, and ends with the desquamation (the period of convalescence). The problem is that it can occur though not very frequently, a lot of complications. The most frequent? Bronchitis, otitis, bacterial pneumonia, bronchiolitis or croup in young children. Much more rare: conjunctivitis with ulceration of the cornea and blindness (I've never seen), the myocarditis, hepatitis. The most serious is the encephalomyelitis, which presents with headache, high fever continued, and drowsiness, marked up to coma. Occurs in 1 in 1000 after a few days of the rash with a mortality rate varying from 10% to 30% (I guess it depends on timeliness of treatment in hospital). And for laboratory tests? The blood count documents for us very often, a lowering of white blood cells (leukopenia), particularly of lymphocytes (lymphopenia). The virus can be isolated in the nasal secretions in the sputum. Serological tests (complement fixation, immunofluorescence, etc) are diagnostic. But in front of a painting typical of the diagnosis I only did it with the anamnesis, the aid of the medical clinic. How to confuse Measles with German Measles? Another virus diseases contagious characterized also by the appearance of a rash, maculo-papuloso. It is true that they are similar but certainly not equal. In measles the fever and rash are less intense, the rash is more tenuous",5,"italy"

Hence, it reinforces the importance of each of the other groups to be vaccinated so that they do not catch or transmit the disease. According to the data available in the fall of 2017, more than 87% of the people who contracted measles were not vaccinated.",5,"portugal"

"71611","Two cases of measles reported around the world has increased by the year 2017, resulting in 110 a thousand deaths, given that a number of countries have recorded outbreaks of a serious and prolonged illness, according to a new report from the World Health Organization. The paper, published today, says that “because of gaps in vaccine coverage, measles outbreaks have occurred in all regions, with an estimated 110-thousand deaths related to the disease. Using data from the updated models of the projection of the disease, the report provides estimates of broader trends in measles in the last 17 years, showing that since the year 2000, more than 21 million lives have been saved through immunisation against the disease. However, the number of reported cases has increased by more than 30% of the entire world, beginning in 2016. In the americas, the eastern mediterranean region, and Europe experienced the largest surges in the fall of 2017, with the western pacific being the only region of the World Health Organization (WHO), where the incidence of measles has declined. “The re-emergence of measles, a serious cause for concern, with an outbreak of prolonged to occur between the regions, and particularly in the countries that have reached, or are close to achieving elimination of measles,” said Soumya Swaminathan, deputy director general for programs of the world health organization. According to the report, “without urgent action to boost vaccination coverage and to identify the population with unacceptably high levels of children with immunization, there is a risk of losing decades of progress in protecting children and communities from this devastating disease, but completely preventable”. Measles is a serious disease and is highly contagious. It may cause some complications, debilitating, or life threatening, including encephalitis (an infection that leads to swelling of the brain), diarrhea, and dehydration, severe pneumonia, infection of the ear and permanent loss of vision. Babies, toddlers, and young children with malnutrition and a weak immune system are particularly vulnerable to complications and death. The disease is preventable with two doses of a vaccine that's safe and effective. For many years, however, the global coverage with the first dose of vaccine against measles stood at 85%. The report notes that this figure “is a far cry from the 95% required to prevent outbreaks, and leave too many people in too many communities that are susceptible to the disease. The second dose coverage of 67 per cent “. The increase in cases of measles, “is a deeply disturbing, but not surprising. The complacency about the disease, and the spreading of false reports about the vaccine in Europe with a health system on the brink of collapse in Venezuela, and in pockets of fragility and the low coverage of immunization in Africa is to combine a revival of the global measles even after years of progress,” said the administrator for the Gavi Alliance for Vaccines Seth Berkley, who is quoted in the document, the world health organization. “The existing strategy need to change. There's got to be more of an effort to increase the coverage of routine immunization and strengthening health systems. If not, we will continue to chase after an outbreak at a time,” he said. The report notes that, in response to the recent outbreaks, the local health agencies are calling for investment in sustainable systems, immunization campaigns, coupled with efforts to strengthen immunization services on a routine creasing that these efforts should focus in particular on reaching out the communities that are most marginalised, including those affected by conflict and displacement. They also require actions to build a broad-based public support for immunization activities, while you are fighting the lack of information and unwillingness on the part in regards to the vaccines, where they exist, he says. ""Investments are supported that are needed to strengthen the delivery of immunization services, and to use every opportunity to deliver the vaccine to those who need them,"" said Robert Linkins, chief of the Department for Control of fast-track Diseases and Surveillance of Diseases Preventable by Vaccines on the Centers for disease Control and Prevention (cdc), USA. and the chairman of the Management Team of the Initiative to the Measles and Rubella vaccine.

In particular, he spoke and discussed about communicable diseases and preventable by vaccine. Then, in the second session they talked about the control between the risk groups. According to dr. Ruiz Olivares, it is not about vaccination, general child, but of those who already have a certain age. And finally, the roundtable ended with the control of diseases in the process of eradication, it is for this reason that it is put as a case central ‘mmr’ measles, rubella and polio (known as mumps). This intervention brings to the conference especially for the measles, because that does not exist in these moments no monovalent vaccine against this virus, so you need to put a triple. It was in the second round table where are included, in addition to new challenges in vaccination of the flu, questions about the human papilloma virus. In particular, if the men should also be vaccinated or not of HPV. According to dr. Ruiz Olivares, this is still a pending subject. Melilla was one of the first Spanish territories to implement the HPV vaccine, but these vaccines are still not put to children, so this was one of the issues discussed at the round table. The organizer of the conference stressed that the city is a pioneer in the vaccine against nine genotypes of this virus. “The best coverage” to the question "" if in Melilla are given some particularities of its geographical location, the doctor commented that maybe the warm weather of the city make people get vaccinated the less flu virus. “People associate influenza with the wind, the rain or the cold, as in Melilla, thank God we have a good climate, and maybe that's why we go down a little bit in coverage,” he said. But did not want to downplay the issue as it underlined that despite this, “it has the best schedule of vaccines that there are in spain”. On movements antivacunas, Ruiz Olivares said that in Melilla hardly hear those voices, and that, happily, are “drowned out” by “the good vaccination coverage in the city. Regarding increases of cases of measles that are happening today in Europe, the doctor said that this is because there are pockets of population that is not vaccinated. “Perhaps the antivacunas there have something to do with it but in Spain it's barely there, and all the cases are imported,” he said, pointing out that these are cases of people from countries such as England or Hungary. In Spain, according to doctor Jose Ruiz Olivares, still have not been given any case of spaniards, who have the measles. “Here in Melilla, the coverage is above 95%, which, in fact, after the announcement of vaccination for all adults born after the year 70, it seems to me that we have obtained only a phone call away,” he said. According to dr. Ruiz Olivares, from the Health Administration premises are willing to vaccinate all those who want, need and be assured that you have not been vaccinated or past disease. Although noted, that not just a call have been received, a points that are “more than covered”.",5,"spain"

What happens in these cases is that after there is often an outbreak of the disease, something that we have seen recently in the united States with the measles. After the parents and the community are starting to worry, everyone wants to be vaccinated, the government comes to us and asks us thousands of doses, and it is difficult to give an answer to these peaks. -In terms of public health, what percentage of the population should be vaccinated, as a minimum, to protect the collective whole? -It depends on the vaccine and the area. In general, where 90 % of the population is vaccinated, the population is very protected. If a low-to-least 70 % or 60 % is a dangerous situation. We assume that vaccination has risks, lower risks, so the best situation is to be the only person in the world is not vaccinated, because on the one hand, there is no risk of disease, but also the small involving the vaccine. Clear that this is a utopia. -In Spain there is no vaccine for meningitis B, and in Portugal spare, why not diverted lots? -In principle, yes it could divert from one country to another. We have already taken vaccines Portuguese to Spain, but there is a slight difference in the label in Portuguese that makes thinking in English that it is not necessary to refrigerate, and that's a problem. In any case induces you to think that you do not need cold. That is to say, in principle, can be download but it is more complicated that it seems. You have to make sure that the labeling is well and that all documentation is perfect to not put anyone at risk. We can not import a product from Greece to the United Kingdom, for example, because almost no one could read the label, we need to relabel, print, and although it is possible it is complicated. - What will be the next shot star? -Commercially speaking, probably the zoster. There is already a vaccine, but the new one is much more advanced and it will go to developed markets, mature, and in addition to payment. Let's be honest, we are a business and with this vaccine we can get a benefit that will allow us to pay a lot of vaccines to third world countries without any profit margin. What motivates us to have a product of marketing so high are the lives that we save with the benefit obtained. There is no reason for that today someone dies of measles, and yet there are people who die.",5,"spain"

"13513","Mässlingsutbrottet in Gothenburg, sweden around the turn of the year by 2017-2018, have caused the justifiable attention, as the disease is potentially serious and extremely contagious. As a follow-up question is how the waiver of immunity in the population are shaped, by and large, something that has been discussed with varying degrees of understanding. As a clarification, the comment was, therefore, not be out of place. The Vaccination of children against measles was introduced in 1971 [1], and then, in 1982, to be given to the children for two doses of the combined MMR vaccine against measles, mumps, and rubella [1]. It would be the first dose at 18 months of age in rapidly reducing the rates of morbidity. By the second dose in school-age children, wanted to reach out to the still non-vaccinated children and in those who did not receive the effect of the first vaccination. The low-antikroppskoncentrationer was also able to get a boostereffekt. Vaccination coverage is above 95 per cent. The vaccine is composed of attenuated strains of the virus, which simulate measles [2] and, in a ofarligare way. The intention has been to eliminate the spread of the disease in the country. It has also been successful. In countries with poor vaccination coverage, circulating, however, the virus remains, according to data from the ECDC (European centre for disease prevention and control and the world health organization (WHO). Seroepidemiologiska study of the material collected in 2007 from a cross-section of the population, [3], shows that in persons <U+2265> 35 years of age (born in 1972, and in the past) who have not been vaccinated, and have had the disease are the eye-catching higher antikroppsnivaer than for younger vaccinated groups. Completing the the disease gives life-long immunity. In countries that have introduced vaccination against the disease is probably lifelong, immunity is based on a similar approach. After the vaccination is the immunity is not 100% (93-95 percent will be protected after one dose, and 97-99% of the two doses) [4]. The uncertainty is larger for those who were born between 1960 and 1980. There may be many people who either had the disease or received the vaccine or who received only one dose of the drug. In Gothenburg, sweden, has been the impact of this, and has offered over 40 000 people, it is unclear privileges, free supplementary mässlingsvaccination [5]. In the newspapers, you could see how the one follows from the Stockholm, sweden [6], where a vaccinspruta (for safety's sake!). It does not constitute a risk to take the vaccine again, but it is, perhaps, a little unnecessary in a non-epidemic situation. You are immune to it, which is the whole idea. A little confused I become a man, however, when physicians in the same article recommends the vaccination of children born abroad from countries without a vaccination programme. Precisely in these countries the spread of the infection early and provide life-long immunity. It is very unclear as to how long the immunity protection lasts after vaccination [7]. The issue is particularly relevant when the virus will stop circulating, which leads to a less natural paspädning of the principles.",5,"sweden"

The meltdown has profoundly affected Venezuela’s health system, whose current state has been compared by experts to the ones of war-stricken countries such as Syria and Yemen. Diseases such as measles and diphtheria, which could be contained with widespread vaccinations, have re-emerged in the country, putting its neighbouring countries at risk of contagion as millions flee to Brazil and Colombia for a better life.  A paper in the journal Emerging Infectious Diseases said: “The ongoing diphtheria and measles epidemics in Venezuela, and spill over into neighbouring countries, evoke the re-emergence of vaccine-preventable diseases observed in Syria and Yemen and the consequent threat to regional, and potentially global, public health.” Measles, a highly infectious viral illness which can be fatal, and diphtheria were thought to be under control in Venezuela, but its chronic shortage of medicines and vaccines and the general poverty of the country fuelled their return. Moreover, medically trained workers are among the millions who have left the country, according to the paper written by academics led by Alberto Paniz-Mondolfi, a Venezuelan infectious diseases pathologist.

"51013","This article is a preview from the Winter 2018 edition of New Humanist  Physics – Ceri Brenner  On Tuesday 2 October I jumped up from my desk and cheered. The Nobel Prize for Physics had just been announced for “ground-breaking inventions in the field of laser physics”. This year’s prize is a triple whammy of celebration for me, my colleagues at the Central Laser Facility and my research community.  First, half of the prize was awarded to Arthur Ashkin for developing the technique of optical tweezers, in recognition of the impact this has had on studies of biological systems. He discovered that at the focus of a laser beam, the light has delicate up and down pushing forces which can trap tiny objects like viruses, bacteria and even parts inside living cells, so that they can be held in place and studied up close. This technique is now widely used all around the world, including by my colleagues, and is a key technique for biology and biomedical science.  Second, the other half of the prize was awarded equally to Donna Strickland and Gerard Mourou for developing high intensity and very short pulses of laser light, in recognition of the impact this has had on medicine, industry and physics research. Intensity is a measure of how fast and over what area a given amount of energy is delivered. Since the invention of the laser in 1960, the intensity of lasers had steadily been increasing as improvements were made. However, by the early 1980s progress stalled because the laser light being generated was so intense that it was burning and fracturing the components of the laser system itself. Strickland and Mourou’s breakthrough was in developing a technique to overcome this issue to give ultrashort laser flashes and ever-increasing intensity. Their mechanism, called chirped pulse amplification, is what enabled lasers to be designed for eye surgery, for example, and is also why we have the super-intense lasers that I use in my research.  Third, this is the first time in 55 years that a woman has been recognised with a Nobel Physics Prize – ending a long period of women being wrongly overlooked for the important contributions they have made to Nobel-worthy physics breakthroughs. So three cheers for that.  Ceri Brenner is a physicist who works for the Science and Technology Facilities Council  Chemistry – Mark Lorch  Chemical engineering processes, used to manufacture everything from pharmaceuticals to plastics, generally require extreme conditions such as high temperatures, pressures and unpleasant chemical solvents. Meanwhile, natural protein molecules – enzymes – manage to control equally complicated chemical reactions within living things. They work under far more pleasant conditions. Protein engineers tinker with enzymes to make them catalyse different reactions. The obvious approach is via rational design, and is much like the way that a car mechanic might alter a piece here and there until the engine works more efficiently. Similarly, a protein engineer might tweak an atom here or there until the desired function is achieved. But rational design depends on detailed knowledge. What if you have no idea what the protein looks like or how it works?  Frances Arnold, one of the winners of this year’s Nobel Prize for Chemistry, solved that problem. She developed techniques that harness the power of evolution to engineer enzymes. Evolution occurs through three steps. First, there must be a series of variations (such as mutations). Second, the variations must cause differences in organism that lead to selection of the fittest. Last, the variations must be passed on to the next generation, when the cycle can be repeated. In nature, mutations may occur slowly and randomly and fitness is defined by how well an organism survives in the environment.  In direct evolution, a gene might be selected that produces a particular protein of interest. Maybe the enzyme speeds up a useful chemical reaction but it is unstable and only works for a few minutes. So a whole series of mutations are deliberately introduced. The genes producing a protein that works for longer than the natural enzyme get selected. These are then subjected to another round of mutations, and so on. Eventually, an enzyme emerges that fits the protein engineer’s criteria.  Due to Arnold’s work, we now have environmentally friendly processes that harness artificially evolved enzymes which can produce everything from pharmaceuticals to bio-fuels.  Mark Lorch is a chemist at the University of Hull  Biology – Lydia Leon  Measles is highly contagious. Before the first measles vaccine was introduced in 1963, and the subsequent Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR) vaccine in the early 1970s, epidemics caused around 2.6 million deaths a year, mostly children. In the decades since, global vaccination has been hugely effective: from 2000 to 2016 there was an 84 per cent drop in measles deaths globally – preventing 20 million deaths.  However, measles still kills many people each year – and 2018 has seen one of the worst outbreaks across Europe in recent history. Tens of thousands of new cases across the continent have resulted in dozens of deaths, many in countries that had previously eradicated or curbed the virus. The largest outbreak has been in Ukraine where over 30,000 cases had been reported by the start of October. In 2016 the World Health Organisation said that the UK had eradicated measles – but by early September this year, almost 900 cases were confirmed in the UK. According to Public Health England, inefction was most likely amongst unvaccinated teenagers and young people who missed out on MMR during a period of mistrust in the vaccine in the late 1990s.  This mistrust can largely be blamed on a debunked piece of research published in 1998 in the Lancet, purporting to link the MMR vaccine to autism and other disorders. The paper was later retracted and its primary author, Andrew Wakefield, struck off the medical register. Subsequent research has conclusively shown the vaccine to be safe and highly effective. But in the years following its publication, up to one million children in the UK may have missed out on MMR jabs, leaving them vulnerable to infection. Significant numbers of parents across the world still choose not to give their children the MMR vaccine. The WHO cites gaps in immunisation coverage as a key factor in the recent European outbreaks and setbacks to the ongoing global campaign to eliminate measles. The damage that Wakefield’s fraudulent paper has done to trust in the vaccine has reverberated across continents, and means that much remains to be done to eradicate measles.

"51213","Urgent action to boost the number of children and young people receiving life-saving vaccinations will be set out by the Prime Minister today.  Boris Johnson will visit a hospital in the South West (we are not told which one) and put forward a number of measures designed to improve vaccination rates, including for measles, mumps and rubella (MMR).  While confidence in the UK’s world-leading vaccination programme remains high – with uptake exceeding 90% for most childhood immunisations – there has been a small but steady decline in coverage in recent years.  It means that the UK has lost its ‘measles-free’ status with the World Health Organisation (WHO) – three years after the virus was eliminated in the country. The WHO has stated that in the first six months of 2019 reported measles cases globally are almost three times as many as the same time last year. Measles is now endemic in countries including France, Germany and Italy.  The PM has now called for health leaders to renew their efforts to meet 95% for both doses of MMR. Currently, just 87% of children are getting their second dose of the jab, which has likely contributed to the spread of measles.  Action to achieve this includes:  NHS England writing to GPs urging them to promote ‘catch up’ vaccination programmes for MMR for 10-11-year-olds, as well as all those 5-25-year-olds who have not had two doses of the jab;  Strengthening the role of local immunisation coordinators – healthcare professionals that promote vaccines particularly with hard-to-reach families. This includes supporting areas with low uptake and tailoring specific local interventions to under-vaccinated communities;  Addressing parents’ concerns about vaccines by updating the advice on NHS.uk specifically to address misleading information about the dangers of vaccines, by giving people NHS-approved, evidence-based and trusted advice on vaccines including through a new website;  Calling a summit of social media companies to discuss how they can play their part in promoting accurate information about vaccination; and  The Department for Health and Social Care – working with Public Health England and NHS England – delivering a comprehensive strategy to address the issue in the Autumn.  Ahead of the hospital visit, Prime Minister Boris Johnson said:  After a period of progress where we were once able to declare Britain measles free, we’ve now seen hundreds of cases of measles in the UK this year. One case of this horrible disease is too many, and I am determined to step up our efforts to tackle its spread.  This is a global challenge and there’s a number of reasons why people don’t get themselves or their children the vaccines they need, but we need decisive action across our health service and society to make sure communities are properly immunised.  From reassuring parents about the safety of vaccines, to making sure people are attending follow-up appointments, we can and must do more to halt the spread of infectious, treatable diseases in modern-day Britain.  Health Secretary Matt Hancock said:  It’s easy to forget how devastating measles can be precisely because vaccines are so effective at preventing it in the first place.  With this strategy, the whole health system will come together to renew focus on vaccinations – especially for our children – and this time we will eliminate measles for good.  The Prime Minister’s visit to the South West is part of a series of visits to hospitals he is taking. He will meet doctors and nurses, hearing directly from them about what support they think the NHS needs so it can continue to be the best healthcare service in the world.",5,"uk"

"52413","THE World Health Organisation has called the anti-vax movement one of the top ten global threats of 2019.  And the numbers of kids contracting the potentially deadly disease has been on the rise - so what can we do to stop it?  2 Should parents be forced to vaccinate against measles? Credit: Getty - Contributor  Measles virus is spread by people coughing and spluttering on each other.  The vaccine, which is highly effective, has been given with mumps and rubella vaccines since the 1970s as part of the MMR injection.  When it became widely available, the number of measle cases around the world fell dramatically - so we know it works.  But many still believe that it can cause autism, thanks to the (now discredited) work of Andrew Wakefield, and that's why numbers are once again on the rise.  2 Once an illness that was dying out, measles is once again on the rise Credit: Getty - Contributor  Most children suffering from measles simply feel miserable, with fever, swollen glands, running eyes and nose and an itchy rash.  The unlucky ones develop breathing difficulty or brain swelling (encephalitis), and one to two per thousand will die from the disease.  Professor Tom Solomon, from the University of Liverpool, says that this was the fate of Roald Dahl’s seven-year-old daughter, Olivia, who died of measles encephalitis in the 1960s before a vaccine existed.  The author was apparently horrified that not all parents vaccinated their kids against the disease and wrote an open letter appealing them to do so in the 1980s.  Symptoms of measles Approximately 10 days after the illness is contracted, signs become noticeable. The NHS outlines the initial symptoms of measles… cold-like symptoms, such as a runny nose, sneezing, and a cough  sore, red eyes that may be sensitive to light  a high temperature (fever), which may reach around 40C (104F)  small greyish-white spots on the inside of the cheeks A few days after these flu-like symptoms manifest, a rash often begins to appear. Distinctive red-brown blotches spring up on the body, typically beginning at the upper neck and spreading downwards. Severe complications can occur, including miscarriage in pregnant women, brain swelling and the risk of death from pneumonia.  According to Dahl, kids were more likely to choke to death on a chocolate bar than from the measles vaccine and he pressed for the UK and American governments to force parents into having injections done.  So should parents be forced to give their kids the MMR vaccine to prevent the spread of the debilitating and sometimes deadly illness?  Professor Solomon tells The Conversation that vaccines are a little like cars...  In rare circumstances, a seat belt might actually cause harm by rupturing the spleen or damaging the spine. But the benefits massively outweigh the risks and there are not many campaigners who refuse to buckle up.  I have some sympathy for those anxious about vaccinations.  They are bombarded daily by contradictory arguments. Unfortunately, some evidence suggests that the more the authorities try to convince people of the benefits of vaccination, the more suspicious they may become.  I remember taking one of my daughters for the MMR injection aged 12 months.  As I held her tight, and the needle approached, I couldn’t help but run through the numbers in my head again, needing to convince myself that I was doing the right thing.  How can you get vaccinated against measles? In rare cases, measles can be fatal. Worryingly, the contagious symptoms can even lead to other complications, including ear infections, pneumonia and even meningitis. Adults and children over the age of six months are able to get a MMR vaccination to ward off the illness. The NHS advises: “It’s never too late for your children (or yourself) to ‘catch up’ with MMR vaccination if they missed it earlier. “Children up to the age of 18 and adults without immunity should have a catch-up MMR vaccination.” The MMR vaccination is free for adults and children on the NHS. To get your MMR jab, ring your local GP practice and ask for an appointment. The vaccination is completed in two doses, which will be administered a month apart. Babies under the age of six months can’t get vaccinated against measles. The NHS recommends: “The best approach for children under six months is to try to avoid them having any contact with measles. “It’s also a good idea to make sure the rest of your family have had the MMR jab, especially if you are planning to visit an outbreak area, as the greatest risk is in the household.”  And there is something unnatural about inflicting pain on your child through the means of a sharp jab, even if you know it is for their benefit.  But if there were any lingering doubts, I just had to think of the many patients with vaccine-preventable diseases who I have looked after as part of my overseas research programme.  Working in Vietnam in the 1990s, I cared not only for measles patients but also for children with diphtheria, tetanus and polio – diseases largely confined to the history books in Western medicine.  I remember showing around the hospital an English couple newly arrived in Saigon with their young family.  “We don’t believe in vaccination for our kids,” they told me. “We believe in a holistic approach. It is important to let them develop their own natural immunity.”  By the end of the morning, terrified by what they had seen, they had booked their children into the local clinic for their innoculations.  In Asia, where we have been rolling out programmes to vaccinate against the mosquito-borne Japanese encephalitis virus, a lethal cause of brain swelling, families queue patiently for hours in the tropical sun to get their children inoculated.

Bangladesh’s Drowning Children  Every year in Bangladesh 15,000 children die by drowning. It is the commonest cause of death in children under four. The problem gets worse during the current monsoon season when there is a lot of flooding. We hear how new initiatives, such as creches, have proved successful in Barisal, southern Bangladesh, which has the highest drowning rates in the country.  Fungal Threat to World’s Favourite Banana  The Cavendish banana is the favourite variety for much of the world – it is big and seedless, accounts for 47% of the global production market and nearly all global trade in bananas are Cavendish. But it is under attack. A vegetative clone (i.e. all genetically identical) and a fungus which kills the Cavendish and some other varieties is spreading across the world. So can genetics save it? James Dale from Queensland University of Technology in Australia spoke to Roland Pease.  Neanderthals and Denisovans  Denisovans are an extinct group of hominins that separated from Neanderthals more than 390,000 years ago. Scant remains of a handful of individuals were found in the Denisova Cave in the Altai Mountains in Siberia in 2010. It’s a cave that has also been inhabited by Neanderthals and modern humans over thousands of years. Now, genomic analysis of the bones of one individual shows she was around 13 years old, her mother was a Neanderthal, her father was a Denisovan - proving interbreeding between these two hominin lineages. Roland Pease talks to Chris Stringer from the Natural History Museum in London.  Guillemot Eggs  The extraordinary shape of the guillemot egg is one of ornithology’s great mysteries. This seabird lays something twice the size of a hen’s egg, which looks a bit like an obelisk, blue, speckled and weirdly elongated at one end, with almost flat sides. There have been a handful of theories to explain why it’s evolved. Marnie Chesterton talks to Professor of Behaviour and Evolution Tim Birkhead, at the University of Sheffield.  Emotional Support  If you have had a bad day at work, do you get the support you need from your partner? Researchers gave diaries to men and women in the Netherlands and found that women gave emotional support regardless of how much stress they were under, unlike their male counterparts. Claudia Hammond spoke to Associate Professor of Management Lieke ten Brummelhuis at Simon Fraser University in Canada.

"52613","A doctor has said public reaction to Andrew Wakefield’s discredited study linking the MMR vaccine to autism was to blame when her baby son caught measles.  Dr Eleanor Draeger told medics at the British Medical Association’s (BMA) annual meeting in Bournemouth that her 10-month-old was not yet old enough to receive the vaccination when he developed the disease – which should now be confined to history, she said.  “The reason he had measles is because of the fall-out from Wakefield's paper,” said Dr Draeger at a debate on parents who choose not to vaccinate their children, sometimes known as “anti-vaxxers”.  Download the new Indpendent Premium app Sharing the full story, not just the headlines  The MMR – measles, mumps and rubella – vaccine has been in use since 1971, but the controversy surrounding it began in 1998 when former doctor Mr Wakefield published a research paper in The Lancet claiming to show a link between the combined jab and autism.  This led to a heavy fall in uptake among parents at the time, but exhaustive scientific research has now disproved the theory and Mr Wakefield was struck off the medical register in 2010.  Dr Draeger told delegates at the conference that vaccination is a “medical miracle and something that we should be supporting wholeheartedly”.  “I qualified in 2000 and when I was at medical school I was taught about measles as a historical disease that I would probably never see,” she said.  “In 2007, I saw my first case of measles in a 10-month-old baby who was really, really unwell - wasn't hospitalised but spent 10 days dehydrated and seeing the GP every day with constant fear for their health. That 10-month-old baby was my son.”  “He has had every vaccination but at 10 months he was too young for his first MMR. The reason he had measles is because of the fall-out from Wakefield's paper.  “Something which should have been historical in my career isn't historical any more.""

Dr Draeger said “we need to educate” parents on vaccination, because “these illnesses are completely preventable”. Doctors “have to be strong on this subject,” she added.  Delegates were debating a motion which states: “That this meeting in the wake of the measles outbreak that swept Europe in March 2017: i) condemns anti-vaxxers who deny immunisations to their children; ii) calls upon the BMA to present a position paper to the government on the potential advantages and disadvantages of childhood immunisation made mandatory under the law.”  The motion was passed as a reference which means that delegates have asked the BMA to take it away and look at it in further detail and decide how to take the issue forward.  Presenting the motion, Dr Farah Jameel said: “Children are dying of diseases preventable by vaccination. Others are being permanently harmed.  “But great progress has been made through vaccination programmes and in the last 20 years more than one in five of all childhood deaths have been averted due to measles vaccinations.  ”But the spectre of the anti-vaxxer movement is upon us, and wherever it gains a foothold we see the reversal of these public health gains.  “We should condemn the movement strongly and without reservation and ensure that policy makers and MPs listen.  “Before Wakefield, in this country typically there were about 100 cases of measles a year. In 2012 there were 2,016 cases.  “Two children in the UK have died of measles since 2006 - what a waste of life. Neither had been given the MMR vaccine.  “And during the Welsh measles outbreak in 2013 a young man died of measles complications.”  Speaking against the motion, Dr David Mark Smith from Yorkshire Regional Council, said: “To be clear, we absolutely need to increase vaccination rates. But who are these 'evil' anti-vaxxers?  “To me these are parents, loving parents, concerned parents, who feel that they are doing the best for their children.  “This is a group of people who are deeply mistrustful of us [doctors]. This is a battle for their hearts and minds and how are we choosing to battle for them?  “[This] would condemn them. And worse still we would ask this government about whether or not they think it's right to force treat their children. This is not the way.  “You don't win these hearts and minds with condemnation, you win with compassion.”  The MMR vaccine is offered to children for free through the NHS as part of the routine childhood immunisation programme.  Youngsters receive their first dose around their first birthday and the second when they are around three years and four months.  Additional reporting from Press Association",5,"uk"
"52713","By Dr Richard Davies, chair of Redditch & Bromsgrove Clinical Commissioning Group  YOU may well have seen information about a renewed push to ensure people are protected against measles.  This comes following a recent outbreak, with a number of cases reported in the West Midlands.  Measles is highly infectious and can be very unpleasant and sometimes lead to serious complications. Anyone can get measles if they haven’t been vaccinated or they haven’t had it before, although it’s most common in young children.  The renewed push is calling for people to protect themselves and their loved ones with two shots of the Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR) vaccine.  This is especially important at this time of year, as many people are setting off on holiday or planning on attending a festival, where there will be a lot of people in close proximity to one another, which increases the chances of the virus spreading.  Symptoms to be aware of:  * High fever  * Sore, red, watery eyes  * Coughing  * Aching and feeling generally unwell  * A blotchy red brown rash, which usually appears after the initial symptoms  There are several things that people can do to relieve the symptoms and reduce the risk of spreading the infection, including taking paracetamol or ibuprofen to relieve aches and pains, stay hydrated, use damp cotton wool to clean eyes and stay off school or work for at least four days from when the rash first appears.  In severe cases, especially if there are complications, people may need to be admitted to hospital for treatment.  It’s important to point out that measles is still very rare, but it’s also important to ensure that your MMR vaccination is complete. Adults and older children can be vaccinated at any age and If children have missed their vaccinations in the past, it’s important to take up the vaccine now from your GP.

"54314","With rates of the infectious disease growing, Liz Connor speaks to Dr Paul Shepherd about how best to avoid measles and what to do if your child does catch it.  Measles is not only uncomfortable, itchy and rather unsightly, the virus can sometimes be really dangerous too.  Although most common in young children, measles can potentially affect anyone who has not been vaccinated against it. While fatalities are rare, cases of measles have now reached the highest this decade, according to the World Health Organisation: More than 41,000 children and adults across Europe have been infected with measles in the first six months of 2018, and at least 37 have died.  Measles is an infectious disease caused by a virus. “It used to be a common illness, especially in children, until the introduction of the measles vaccine, given as part of the MMR vaccine in infancy,” says Dr Paul Shepherd, a GP with Push Doctor.  “However, the MMR vaccine uptake reduced following the flawed research of the discredited Dr Andrew Wakefield [who proposed a link between the MMR jab and autism and bowel disease], and so we’ve seen increasing cases of measles in the UK, and more especially across Europe in recent years.” Parents should be particularly wary of measles notes Dr Shepherd, as it can lead to “serious complications” in childhood.  Much like the common cold, measles is easily spread via tiny droplets that come out of the nose and mouth. “It’s usually transmitted from person to person by coughing, sneezing, or direct contact with body secretions,” says Dr Shepherd. Symptoms usually start to develop after 10 to 14 days.  “Early signs are fever, cough, cold symptoms and sore eyes due to conjunctivitis. You will often, at this stage, find spots inside the cheeks which are a white or grey colour,” Dr Shepherd explains. After a few days, the characteristic measles rash appears. “Look out for a bright red rash, starting on the head and neck before spreading to the rest of the body.” The rash is often itchy and, after about four days, its colour turns a more dark red or brown.  “The usual first aid measures will apply, giving paracetamol or ibuprofen to relieve aches and pains and help lower temperature. It is also important to stay well hydrated by drinking plenty of water,” says Dr Shepherd.  Most cases of measles will settle on their own over about 10-14 days and the best thing to do is wait it out and stay away from others where possible. Once you have had measles, your body builds up resistance, so it’s highly unlikely you’ll get it again. That said, you should contact your GP as soon as possible, if you suspect that you or your child may have measles. “As a result of catching measles, complications due to bacterial infection may arise, such as middle ear infection, pneumonia and meningitis.  “It is also very important that medical advice is sought quickly if there are any signs of complications arising,” warns Dr Shepherd. “Worrying features would include difficulty breathing, chest pain, coughing up blood, drowsiness, confusion or fits.  “In this situation, antibiotics will often be needed to treat the complicating bacterial infection and, in severe cases, hospitalisation is required.”  Measles can be prevented by having the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine, given as part of the NHS childhood vaccination programme. The first dose is given when your child is around 13 months old, and a second dose is given at three years and four months - but you could still get vaccinated later.  “Vaccination against measles is vital, both to protect an individual person and also to develop a high level of immunity in the population, in order to prevent the virus spreading,” says Dr Shepherd.  An injection called Human Normal Immunoglobulin can also be given in special circumstances within six days of known exposure of the virus to babies under six months, unvaccinated pregnant women, or people with weakened immune systems.",5,"uk"

Dr Mary Ramsay, head of immunisation at PHE, warned the outbreak could be traced to travellers coming back from parts of Europe. She also warned those trailing to countries such as Romania and Italy to get the jab.  She said: “This serves as an important reminder for parents to take up the offer of MMR vaccination for their children at one year of age and as a pre-school booster at three years and four months of age. “Children and young adults who missed out on their MMR vaccine in the past or are unsure if they had two doses should contact their GP practice to catch up. “We’d also encourage people to ensure they are up to date with their MMR vaccine before travelling to countries with ongoing measles outbreaks.” She added: “The UK recently achieved WHO measles elimination status and so the overall risk of measles to the UK population is low, however due to ongoing measles outbreaks in Europe, we will continue to see cases in un-immunised individuals and limited onward spread can occur in communities with low MMR coverage and in age groups with very close mixing.”  Getty Parents are being encouraged to vaccinate their babies against measles  The health body previously warned those who recently travelled or were going to travel to Romania, Italy and Germany without receiving two doses of the MMR vaccine are particularly at risk.

"39614","Measles destroys in the long term our immune system and makes us vulnerable to other infections. The measles virus deletes a part of the memory of the immune system with the result that we lose the “immunity” that we have developed in the face of infections that have already passed and so the immune system returns to a baby stage, reveal new research data. Indeed, two surveys of non-vaccinated children in the Netherlands showed that on the one hand, this removes a part of the memory of the immune system after infections and, on the other hand makes children more prone to new infections. The findings were published in scientific journals “Science Immunology” and “Science” explain why children develop other infections after measles and emphasize the need for vaccination of children. It was found that, after the measles, the antibodies of the children decreased from 11% to 73%. “We found strong evidence that the measles, in fact, destroys the immune system,” said Steven <U+0395><U+03BB><U+03BB><U+03AD><U+03C4><U+03B6>, a geneticist in the faculty of Medicine of Harvard University, and author of an inquiry and added: “The threat of measles is much greater than we thought”. Measles affects worldwide more than 7 million people each year and causes more than 100,000 deaths. The reduction in vaccination rates has resulted in approximately 300% increase in cases of measles by the year 2018. Britain in fact is no longer “free from measles” because of the fall of immunity to measles, mumps and rubella. There is a need to be covered at least 95% of the population in order to prevent outbreaks of these diseases. Among children aged two years in Britain, the vaccination rates fell from 91,2% in 2017-2018 to 90,3% in 2018-2019, which is the lowest recorded rate since 2010. Measles causes a cough, redness and fever, is very contagious and the virus can be spread by coughing, sneezing, and even exhaling. From the moment the virus enters the respiratory tract, penetrates the cells of the immune system that are located on the surface between the lung and circulatory function. From there, the virus multiplies and spreads to the cells of the immune system throughout the body. To date, the investigators have reason for long-term effect of measles on the immune system since they were recorded many deaths from other infections that follow measles, but also due to the fact that the virus affects directly the immune system. In the first recent research on the issue, which was conducted by the <U+0392><U+03B5><U+03BB><U+03AF><U+03C3><U+03BB><U+03B1>ß<U+03B1> Petrova of the british institute of “Wellcome Sanger” and the University of Cambridge, it seemed that the measles corrode two different sides of defense of the immune system. In this context it was gathered volunteers from three different schools in the Netherlands to participate in the survey. The researchers took blood samples from healthy non-vaccinated children aged from 4 to 17 years of age and attended the course together with this 77 of children who were infected with the virus of measles to the outbreak of the disease in 2013. To deal with the infections the immune system is based on the continuous pumping of a wide variety of immune cells, each of which with slightly different receptors on their surfaces, with the capacity to recognize virtually any pathogen. “The greater variety of immune cells we have, the better,” said Petrova. It was observed that, after the measles, the children were much more limited variety. The immune system creates memory cells that remain in blood circulation allowing the body to quickly recognize and eliminate infections with which it has been faced in the past. However, after the measles, it appeared that many of the memory cells of the immune system no longer existed in the blood of children, a situation which the researchers called “immune amnesia”. This may mean that children who contract measles need to <U+03BE><U+03B1><U+03BD><U+03B1><U+03B5>µß<U+03BF><U+03BB><U+03B9><U+03B1><U+03C3><U+03C4><U+03BF><U+03CD><U+03BD> for diseases for which they have already been vaccinated. The children were monitored by the researchers for about six weeks, so it was not clear how long it would take the immune system to return to its normal function. The Petrova suggesting that it takes about five years for a full recovery. The <U+0395><U+03BB><U+03BB><U+03AD><U+03C4><U+03B6> with its own research team, using a tool called VirScan (this is a tool that the <U+0395><U+03BB><U+03BB><U+03AD><U+03C4><U+03B6> and his colleagues presented the 2015, this detects all viruses that have infected a person, using only one drop of blood. The VirScan can detect antibodies against HIV, influenza, herpes and hundreds of other viruses), examined the antibodies in the blood and found that 11% to 73% of the antibodies were eliminated after the measles. The triple measles – mumps – rubella (MMR) does not create immunosuppression, with the result that it protects lifelong from measles, without, however, causing vulnerability to other diseases. The Petrova stated that the treatment of doubt about vaccines is a complex task and underlines the need for constant provision of adequate reliable scientific findings about the importance of vaccines, Jonathan Bal , professor of molecular biology at the University of Nottingham, stressed that the results of the investigations in combination with the decreasing trend in vaccination in the last few years remind us how important is immunisation not only for the prevention of measles and for the prevention of subsequent complications.

The risk is to continue the spread of the disease, warned the WHO. ""If the response to the disease is not timely and comprehensive, the virus will find its way into more pockets of vulnerable people and can be expanded to additional countries within and beyond the region,"" he adds in a statement. ""Every opportunity must be used in order to be vaccinated susceptible children, adolescents, and adults."" Measles is a very contagious disease that can kill and can cause blindness, deafness or brain damage. Can be prevented with two doses of an effective vaccine, but –partly due to the existence of pockets of non-vaccinated individuals– is currently spreading in many parts of the world including the United States, the Philippines and Thailand. In Europe, the majority of cases of measles up to now, in 2019, it was noted in Ukraine, where more than 25,000 people have been infected by the virus in the first two months of the year. There is no specific antiviral therapy for measles, and vaccination is the only way of prevention, said the WHO. Most cases have occurred in people who either were not vaccinated or were vaccinated inadequately. The WHO added that if the area had higher than ever estimated coverage for the second dose of the vaccine of measles in 2017 –about 90%– some countries had problems, such as decreasing or stagnant vaccination coverage in some cases, low coverage of certain marginal groups and gaps in vaccination in older people. The WHO called the national health authorities in the region to focus their efforts to ensure that all population groups have access to vaccines. ""The effect on public health will persist until the ongoing outbreaks brought under control,"" he said, adding that the health authorities should ""identify those who have missed the vaccine in the past, and to reach them with the vaccines they need"".

"41914","Measles destroys in the long term our immune system and makes us vulnerable to other infections. The measles virus deletes a part of the memory of the immune system with the result that we lose the ""immunity"" that we have developed in the face of infections that have already passed and so the immune system returns to a baby stage, reveal new research data. Indeed, two surveys of non-vaccinated children in the Netherlands showed that on the one hand, this removes a part of the memory of the immune system after infections and, on the other hand makes children more prone to new infections. The findings were published in Science Immunology and Science, respectively, explain why the children have other infections after measles and emphasize the need for vaccination of children. It was found that, after the measles, the antibodies of the children decreased from 11% to 73%. ""We found strong evidence that the measles, in fact, destroys the immune system,"" said Steven <U+0395><U+03BB><U+03BB><U+03AD><U+03C4><U+03B6>, a geneticist in the faculty of Medicine of Harvard University, and author of an inquiry and added: ""The threat of measles is much greater than we thought"". Measles affects worldwide more than 7 million people each year and causes more than 100,000 deaths. The reduction in vaccination rates has resulted in approximately 300% increase in cases of measles by the year 2018. Britain in fact is no longer ""free from measles"" because of the fall of immunity to measles, mumps and rubella. There is a need to be covered at least 95% of the population in order to prevent outbreaks of these diseases. Among children aged two years in Britain, the vaccination rates fell from 91,2% in 2017-2018 to 90,3% in 2018-2019, which is the lowest recorded rate since 2010. Measles causes a cough, a rash and a fever, is very contagious and the virus can be spread by coughing, sneezing, and even exhaling. From the moment the virus enters the respiratory tract, penetrates the cells of the immune system that are located on the surface between the lung and circulatory function. From there, the virus multiplies and spreads to the cells of the immune system throughout the body. To date, the investigators have reason for long-term effect of measles on the immune system since they were recorded many deaths from other infections that follow measles, but also due to the fact that the virus affects directly the immune system. In the first recent research on the issue, which was conducted by the <U+0392><U+03B5><U+03BB><U+03AF><U+03C3><U+03BB><U+03B1>ß<U+03B1> Petrova of the british institute Wellcome Sanger and the University of Cambridge, it seemed that the measles corrode two different sides of defense of the immune system. In this context it was gathered volunteers from three different schools in the Netherlands to participate in the survey. The researchers took blood samples from healthy non-vaccinated children aged from 4 to 17 years of age and attended the course together with this 77 of children who were infected with the virus of measles to the outbreak of the disease in 2013. To deal with the infections the immune system is based on the continuous pumping of a wide variety of immune cells, each of which with slightly different receptors on their surfaces, with the capacity to recognize virtually any pathogen. ""The greater variety of immune cells we have, the better,"" said Petrova. It was observed that, after the measles, the children were much more limited variety of immune cells. The immune system creates memory cells that remain in blood circulation allowing the body to quickly recognize and eliminate infections with which it has been faced in the past. However, after the measles, it appeared that many of the memory cells of the immune system no longer existed in the blood of children, a situation which the researchers called ""immune amnesia"".

The children were monitored by the researchers for about six weeks, so it was not clear how long it would take the immune system to return to its normal function. The Petrova suggesting that it takes about five years for a full recovery. The <U+0395><U+03BB><U+03BB><U+03AD><U+03C4><U+03B6> with its own research team, using a tool called VirScan (this is a tool that the <U+0395><U+03BB><U+03BB><U+03AD><U+03C4><U+03B6> and his colleagues presented the 2015, this detects all viruses that have infected a person, using only one drop of blood. The VirScan can detect antibodies against HIV, influenza, herpes and hundreds of other viruses), examined the antibodies in the blood and found that 11% to 73% of the antibodies were eliminated after the measles. Jonathan Bal , professor of molecular biology at the University of Nottingham, stressed that the results of the investigations in combination with the decreasing trend in vaccination in the last few years remind us how important is immunisation not only for the prevention of measles and for the prevention of subsequent complications.

One of these ailments of childhood which it is difficult to escape. It is to be unaware of the gravity that can take, sometimes, this infectious disease due to a virus.

But WHO wants that in 2020, the immunization coverage reaches 95%, because Serbia is not the only country affected. According to Vesna Trifunovic, “the majority of parents who are reluctant are not against vaccines. They are rather ill-informed and reason based on their everyday experience. Financial insecurity, lack of solidarity, the incompetence and the corruption of public authorities made them skeptical. They do not know to what saint to vow”.",4,"france"

This vaccination is very effective because it protects against the disease in nearly 100% cases after 2 doses of vaccine. However, the measles can occur in a person who received only a single dose of the vaccine, hence the importance of receiving the second dose. But how do you know if you need to be vaccinated ? For infants, it is simple. All should receive two doses. The regimen consists of one dose at 12 months of age, followed by another between 16 and 18 months. This valencia became mandatory on 1 January 2018. For other children, if they have not already received the dose corresponding to the recommendations of the immunization schedule, prior to the entry into force of the obligation, two doses are also to achieve.

""If you no longer have your book and that you were born since 1980, you must consider that you are not protected against measles, it is recommended that you get vaccinated with two doses of MMR vaccine (measles, mumps and rubella).

At the head of the classification there is the Ukraine, but the alarm is spreading also in Italy, despite the vaccination here is mandatory. What is the measles? Who it affects? Measles is an infectious disease which is contagious. It presents initially with symptoms of a simple cold, then, in a matter of a few days, begin to appear in the famous skin spots red-brown characteristics, precisely, of the infection. Often, in fact, recognize the measles just rely on these simple symptoms, in particular the last mentioned. This is a disease that affects only the human race: all people are not vaccinated, and who have never contracted the disease in their life, are potentially at risk of getting sick. A second infection is possible but very unlikely, as the immune response, which the human body produces when it contracts the measles, it is effective and permanent. For this who is already infected do not need the vaccination anti-measles. Measles is considered to be an infectious disease in child, such as rubella, chickenpox, whooping cough, and mumps, as it mostly affects children between the ages of 12 months and 4 years. And’ in fact possible to make a single vaccination (quadrivalente MPRV), including the four vaccines against these diseases. Read also: measles Vaccine causes permanent damage to the child, the family awarded 101 million dollars, the judgment Causes and symptoms. How it is transmitted? Measles is caused by a virus belonging to the genus morbillivirus, featuring a capsid (a shell that protects the virus from the outside environment) that has, for genetic material, a single strand of RNA. The virus is transmitted by sneezing and coughing. The infection can occur in two ways: in a direct manner or in an indirect way. When you cough or sneeze millions of tiny droplets of volatile are ejected. If the person who ejects is affected by the virus, these droplets, therefore, contain the virus. In the first case of contagion, then, the infection will be transmitted to those who are in the vicinity of the sick person. Once inhaled, in fact, measles is imbedded at the level of the mouth and lungs, where it multiplies before spreading into the rest of the body. In the second case, the weapon of the virus remains the same. This time, however, the droplets birds infected are deposited on the objects. By touching them and, above all, by bringing the infected hands to the mouth or the nose, it does nothing but facilitate the action of the virus. It is precisely for this reason that, usually, children are more exposed to the risk of measles. The appearance of the first symptoms comes after ten days from the infection (incubation period). Are generally: the Common symptoms of colds, such as runny nose, eyes that are watering, sneezing, etc., stinging Eyes, high Fever up to 40°C, Fatigue and lack of forces, Malaise, dry Cough, The classic spots from measles, are, of course, the most obvious symptom. Prevention: the importance of the vaccine (even during pregnancy) With the decree-law went into force in 2017, on the prevention, vaccination for children from 0 to 16 years, the measles vaccination has become obligatory. It is also very important for pregnant women to be already vaccinated: the risks may, in fact, be several and serious and, for this, you need to ask before embarking on pregnancy. In Italy, therefore, the vaccine is mandatory. Yet according to the Who, our Country is among the first places in the ranking of european states who have passed the thousand contagions only in 2018. Alarm measles in Europe Despite the vaccine anti-measles has become one of the drugs most important discovered in the last 70 years, the deaths and disability that the disease causes has increased in recent years. The Who, the World Health Organization, said that in Europe, only in the first half of the current year cases of measles have been about 41,000. Only in Ukraine the figure is arrived to 23,000. Italy, however, is among the european Countries, along with France, Serbia, Greece, Russia and Georgia, has exceeded 1000 cases. “To prevent epidemics, you need a vaccination coverage of at least 95% with 2 doses of vaccine containing the measles each year in each community, as well as efforts to reach children, adolescents and adults who have missed routine immunisation in the past. Too many deaths and serious illnesses, a massacre is inevitable.” These are the words of the Who, the words tragic and which does not leave open positive perspectives. And not to believe that a disease so dangerous, tamed for decades by the appropriate vaccine, is still the cause of many deaths. “A massacre is preventable“, these are the words extracted from the speech of the Who, more striking, which should not leave space to any kind of fantasy, malainformazione, false beliefs, or medicine, diy.

Not a mosquito at all but an insect of a particular called Aedes Aegypti, the so-called ""yellow fever mosquito"". Dengue fever can be caused by four types of viruses, called Den-1, Den-2, Den-3 and Den-4. Once entered into the bloodstream of the infected person, the virus remains between two days and a week: it is precisely in this period that the mosquito can transmit it to others. Widespread in tropical and subtropical countries, the dengue often comes in Europe because of the frequency of movements of goods and people. SYMPTOMS, PREVENTION, TREATMENT, Fever is quite high, headache, eye pain and severe pain in muscles and joints: these are the most common symptoms of dengue fever, along with nausea and vomiting and skin spots similar to measles. The more effective prevention of the dengue is the most simple: spray and creams and mosquito repellents to avoid being bitten and therefore infected by the virus. As far as the care, there is no specific treatment: usually, the disease passes by itself within a week, two at most. Therefore, the drugs are the same as commonly used for fever. In very rare cases, dengue fever can become hemorrhagic fever, and hemorrhages can lead to death. Monday 9 April 2018, 17:38 © REPRODUCTION RESERVED",4,"italy"

From the data presented, it appears that in the past year, in Italy, the beached 212 cetaceans, mainly dolphins. The events occurred mainly in the areas of the sea central Tyrrhenian sea, the Ligurian sea and in the Adriatic sea, central and northern. The objective of Credima is to put the attention on the state of health of the cetaceans that live in our seas, but mostly discuss the results obtained so far, and try to increase the network of surveillance to intervene in a multidisciplinary when they occur strandings abnormal. In 67% of cases in which it is possible to formulate a hypothesis of the cause of death, the researchers found the presence of viral infections, bacterial or parasitic infections. Most of the cases had an infection caused by morbillivirus of the dolphins, the greatest threat to these animals in our seas. Significant also the signaling of environmental pollutants that confirm in the role of “sentinels of the seas” coated by these species. In less than 30% of the cases, the cause of the stranding was attributed to the interaction with human activities in the sea, especially for incidental catches in fishing gear or collisions with boats. From ’90 to today, four outbreaks that have occurred. The most dramatic dates back to ’92, the others are extended between France and Spain, takes you to Italy.

"7549","New attack in the british press at the government League-M5S. This time it is for the Times to point the finger against the two parties in government in Italy, accused of being responsible for the increase in cases of measles in the United Kingdom. The idea was born from the alarm launched by Public Health England (Phe), the executive agency of the ministry of Health, the british, who said the increase in cases of measles a “crash national”. According to the data of the cases diagnosed in England in the first half of 2018, are more than double all of those recorded in 2017. The main cause is to be attributed, according to this analysis, holidaymakers who contract the disease in Italy and then return to England. “It's really discouraging if we think of how we were close to the complete disappearance of the disease,” said Helen Stokes-Lampard, president of the royal College of physicians. According to data released by Phe, the last year in Europe were registered, 20 thousand cases of measles, with 48 deaths starting from 2016. In both Italy and Romania have been identified over 5 cases, after that the percentages of vaccination are down by 83 per cent and 76 per cent. Hundreds of cases have been recorded also in Greece and in France, where the percentages of vaccination were, respectively, 83 percent and 79 percent, while in Great Britain the percentage is 92 percent, still below 95 percent is considered necessary for the eradication of the disease. These data provide the opportunity to the editor of the Times David Inauguration to write that one of the reasons for the increase in cases of measles in the Uk is the campaign against vaccination conduct by the parties populistiora to power when they were the opposition”. Both the 5-Star Movement in the League, he continues, “they wanted to cancel the law that makes mandatory some vaccines for children under 16 years old”. But, he said, “the rejection of the medical opinion in general is part of the mentality populist”. Inauguration if he takes it, even with the Front National on French, which has “a similar position” and is responsible to his judgment the decline in vaccinations in France and the consequent increase in cases of measles. Perhaps the pharmaceutical companies need to secure the obligation of vaccination in both France and England and maybe even have fear that in Italy you want to reduce the number of mandatory vaccinations?",4,"italy"

This information is without any scientific basis, have been spread out on a large part of the social network for the members of the movement, “antivacinas,” warned the organization. The “anti-vax,” said the Frog, is based on a publication in 1998 which established a link between the vaccine and autism.

Globally, 98 countries were reported on in 2018 of a large number of cases of measles than in 2017, standing out as such an erosion of the progress against this disease which can be fatal, although it is very easy to prevent. The ukraine, the Philippines, and Brazil have experienced the greatest increase in the number of cases of measles between 2017 and 2018. Only in Ukraine they have been 35.120 of cases of measles in 2018. According to the government, and other 24.042 people have been infected in the first two months of the year 2019. This year, in the Philippines, we recorded 12.736 of cases of measles and 203 deaths, the face of the 15.599 of the cases in the entire year of 2018. ""This is a wake-up alarm. We do have a vaccine-safe, effective, and inexpensive way against this extremely contagious disease to a vaccine that has saved almost a million lives every year in the last two decades,” said Henrietta H. Fore, Director of the Executive board of UNICEF. ""These cases don't happen overnight. The way of the serious epidemic we are facing today were started in the year 2018, the lack of action today will have disastrous consequences for the children of tomorrow.” Measles is a highly contagious, According to a press release received by 9am, measles is even more contagious than the Ebola virus, tuberculosis, or the flu. The virus can also be contracted for a period of up to two hours after an infected person has left the room. It is spread through the air and infects the respiratory tract and can be fatal for children, malnourished or infants to age too young to be vaccinated. Once the infection has occurred, there is no specific treatment for measles; therefore, a vaccination is a procedure that saves the lives of the children. In response to these outbreaks, UNICEF and partners supported governments to urgently come to the aid of the millions of children in countries around the world. For example: In the Ukraine, UNICEF provides support for the acceleration of the recommended routines in the entire country, and the elimination of the attitude reserved for the daughter of the vaccines, and pushing, and efforts to put an end to the latest outbreak, which has resulted in the deaths of over 30 people, from 2017, until the present time. In February, the Ministry of Health with support from UNICEF, has started a campaign of immunization in schools and clinics in the affected region, in Lviv, in western Ukraine, where the attitude is negative towards immunization and the lack of the dose of the vaccine in the past, they have attracted low levels of vaccination. In the Philippines, the government, with the support of UNICEF and it's partners, will carry out a campaign of vaccination of the 9 million children against polio and measles in 17 regions. Through social networks, such as those involved in the campaign, they will provide you with more information about the benefits of vaccines, as parents, as workers and nurses. In Brazil, In the period between July and September of 2018, the government has carried out a campaign of vaccination against polio and measles, which covered more than 11 million children younger than five years of age. UNICEF is urging people to get vaccinated, and trained the monitors of the medical staff of the shelters for migrants venezuelans. UNICEF has incorporated the vaccine antirujeolic in the program, ""the Seal of the city,"" which stimulates the competition, the positive between the municipality and includes 1.924 of the village. In Yemen, where all the long years of conflict have led to the outbreak of the epidemic, the local authorities, with the support of UNICEF, WHO and the GAVI Alliance, has vaccinated more than 11.5 million copies in the month of February. In Ethiopia, in the period of 3 September to the 21st of February, 76.871 people have been infected with the measles, and the 928 were killed, most of whom are children. In the month of January, with the support of our partners, including UNICEF, the government has launched a campaign for the immunization schedule targeting all of the 114 counties. More than 2 million children have been immunized in the 25 districts. In February, they have been vaccinated 1.4 million children, the other with 3.9 million, followed in the month of march. In Romania, the Ministry of Health, together with UNICEF, has launched a Campaign to promote vaccination – “Childhood is the greatest gift”, which aims to inform parents and the general public about the importance and benefits of vaccination. This is a continuation of the campaign door-to-door outreach, and recovery of vaccine produced last year by the Ministry of Health, in partnership with the World Health Organization and UNICEF in more and more communities are vulnerable, in the counties of Mehedinti and Bacau. The campaign was also attended by representatives of the Departments of Public Health in the country, which are reproduced in this model and in other cities. The infrastructure of the health the poor, civil unrest, a low level of awareness at the community level, and neglect and the attitude of the secretive girl by the vaccines, in some cases, it has led to the emergence of these outbreaks in developed countries and in countries in the developing world. For example, in the United States of America, the number of measles cases has increased six-fold between 2017 and 2018, amounting to 791. More recently, the united states has been confronted with outbreaks in New York and in the state of Washington.

(Reuters/EP) - measles cases are on the rise across the world, especially in Latin America and Europe, due in part to some parents to refrain from vaccinating their children, according to has informed this Thursday the World Health Organization (WHO). In 2017 were recorded officially about 173,000 cases of measles, a jump of more than 30 per cent compared to the levels of the previous year, has said the agency, which has detailed that the actual number of cases in the past year is estimated at 6.7 million. Thus, it has detailed that around 110,000 people died in the past year, most of them children, because of this disease, which can be prevented through vaccination. ""More worrying than the increase in the number of cases is that we see sustained transmission of measles in countries that for many years, there had been contagion,"" said Martin Friede, coordinator of the Initiative for vaccine research (IVR). ""This suggests that in reality we are taking a step backward in certain cases"", he added. The disease is highly contagious and can be fatal or cause loss of hearing and mental disorders in children. Often anticipates other infections, such as diphtheria, in populations with low vaccination rates. Germany, Russia, and Venezuela have had large measles outbreaks last year, which led to their withdrawal of their certification to have interrupted the spread, as confirmed by the WHO. ""Looking at the figures of 2018, we're seeing a rise that seems to be sustained and we are concerned that what began as a rise to become a trend,"" he pointed out Friede. For her part, Katrina Kretsinger, officer medical of the WHO, has highlighted the fact that at this time it is on track to have more cases than those registered in 2017. In this sense, the agency has explained that the global coverage for the first dose of the measles vaccine is stagnant at 85 percent, when what is needed to prevent outbreaks is 95 per scientific. The coverage of the second dose reaches 67 percent. ""The majority of children who do not receive the vaccine live in the poorest communities of the world, many in conflict-affected areas"", has revealed Ann Lindstrand, coordinator of the Expanded Programme on Immunization of the WHO.

Castilla-la Mancha is The second autonomous community with the most incidence of this disease after Catalonia, according to data from the Institute of Health Carlos III. In just two months, January and February of this year, the european continent already had to 34,000 cases of measles. Vaccination policies insufficient and the rise of the movements antivacunas have contributed to this reactivation, as reported by SEPEAP in the press release. In Spain, the disease does not have much impact thanks to vaccination programs, but in 2019, until the month of may, totaled 165 cases, a figure higher than the global last year, with 138 patients of measles. In terms of global figures, in the first seven months of 2019 were recorded 370.000 cases of a disease ""serious, highly contagious, severe acute complications and other very serious and can appear up to twenty years after"". It affects in a serious way to the defenses of the child, but about all of the pregnant, which is more vulnerable to other infections and is more contagious than ebola, tuberculosis or the flu. A person can catch the virus up to two hours after the carrier has left a room. It spreads through the air and infects the respiratory tract, and may spread to the whole person not protected and endangering the lives of malnourished children or babies who are too young to be vaccinated. Once that occurs the infection, there is no specific treatment for measles, so the vaccination is a fundamental tool, with an efficiency of between 95 and 98 percent. In the Congress, pediatricians have recommended that everyone born after 1970 to review their immunization to ensure that they are immunized properly, and that you have at least two doses of mmr vaccine. In addition, keep in mind that if the vaccination occurred before the first year of age the child was protected during that time, but it still lacked immunological memory -generated at one year of age-so that the person would need two doses of vaccine instead of one more. Special attention should pay the women who were able to be vaccinated for rubella, because they are protected against this disease, but does not count as a second dose for measles. The Congress of the SEPEAP puts special emphasis on the training of young professionals so that they can face any circumstance in the query. This is especially important in the case of measles, a disease that the majority of young pediatricians do not know as it was virtually eradicated.

The current pattern of vaccination against measles involves vaccination in children with two doses of mmr vaccine (against measles, rubella and mumps) administered at 12 months and 4 years (see the vaccination calendar in the page of Vaccinations Murciasalud). It is assumed that the vaccine gives rise to a long-term immunity(1,2) and, at the present time, it is not recommended to re-vaccinate routinely in adulthood if there is an adequate previous vaccination(3,4). In a clinical practice guideline of the advisory committee on immunization of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention<U+0094> (CDC)(1) commented on the duration of immunity against measles after vaccination, which, both the serological evidence such as epidemiological indicate that measles-containing vaccines induce long-lasting immunity in most individuals, and that approximately 95% of the people who examined 11 years after initial vaccination and 15 years after the second dose of the mmr vaccine (which contains the strain Enders Edmonston) had detectable antibodies against the measles.

Measles is one of the communicable diseases most contagious. Begins with fever, coryza, cough and small spots erythematous with central whitish in the oral mucosa. The rash, which appears between 3 and 7 days after onset of symptoms, starts on the face and spreads all over the body. The disease is more severe in infants and in adults than in children. All the people who have not passed the disease or who are not appropriately immunized are susceptible of catching it, if they are not properly vaccinated. Complications from measles can be serious, even life-threatening, and are due to viral replication or bacterial superinfection, and include, among others, laringotraqueobronquitis, pneumonia, and encephalitis. All the people who have not passed the disease or who are not appropriately immunized are susceptible of contracting the disease. Infants are generally protected, up to 6-9 months of age by maternal antibodies. It is believed that the immunity after natural infection lasts a lifetime, and the immunity conferred by the vaccine persists for decades.

Judge Lawrence Knipel issued a resolution in which it stressed the ""significant increase in incidents of measles in the U.S. in many years,"" and indicated that ""the section of Williamsburg, Brooklyn is the epicenter,"" according to the New York Post. In its verdict, which dismisses a lawsuit filed against the Department of Health of New York, they also stated that the arguments that the vaccine is ineffective and dangerous are not supported by scientific studies, laws of medical literature and regulations. The deputy mayor for health affairs, dr. Herminia Palacios, said he was pleased with the decision for the city to keep the order that forces parents to vaccinate children. A group of parents opposed to vaccines belonging to the orthodox jewish community demanded this Monday to the city of New York by force to immunize their children against the measles, saying that the city is extralimitó in their duties and violated their religious beliefs. In a lawsuit filed in the Supreme Court of Brooklyn, the district where it is concentrated the largest part of the population is orthodox jewish, they argued that the measure of force the vaccination to those who have been in contact with the disease under penalty of a fine of $ 1,000, is excessive, and that the outbreak of measles that affects the city is ""insufficient"" to justify it. 10 days ago, the mayor of New York declared a public health emergency in Williamsburg, where he has unleashed an epidemic of measles since October, which especially affects the orthodox jewish community. A similar lawsuit was filed several weeks ago in the county of Rockland, north of New York city, after that decrees the prohibition of minors unvaccinated access to public spaces, due to the severe outbreak of measles in the town, with 184 cases in a population of 300,000 inhabitants. Among the orthodox communities of Brooklyn there is a debate between those who advocate for vaccines and those who reject them, based in some cases on a publication contrary to them, which ensures that they contain the ""DNA of monkey, rat and pig"", are made of cells of human fetuses aborted and generate autism. On the other hand, many rabbis and organizations advocate the need to immunize young people with the aim to avoid spreading the contagious disease, and also potential episodes of anti-semitic. Meanwhile, three parents were fined today with a thousand dollars each for failure to comply with this order, and four other jewish schools were closed, adding to a total of five, because it did not show the vaccination records of the children who attend their centers.",4,"spain"

A decision that seems sensible if you look at the rise in cases that has occurred in Europe this year, with more than 41,000 detected cases of a disease that may cause death in children. After the data is the movement antivacuna, the crisis in the East of Europe and also a cycle of the disease that causes peaks every eight years or so. Castilla-La Mancha is removed, the time of these data, and in particular during this 2018 are two cases detected, the same as there were last year. Both were in the Basin. One, ""a young man of 19 years, I brought it imported from the Ukraine, came not vaccinated and gave it to his sister of 20 years not to vaccinate"" and the other was in a family from Romania, presented the director-general of Public Health Manuel Tordera. It is, therefore, isolated cases due to ""a good vaccination coverage, by over 96 percent"" when the World Health Organization says 95 percent of the data to eradicate this disease. Tordera remember that there are no foci of antivacunas detected in the province of Ciudad Real, nor in Castile-La Mancha. ""It can happen, that there are citizens immigrants that change a lot of population and that may not be vaccinated or leave half"" as aspects which make possible the existence of any contagion, as targeted this year and in the past, but high rates of vaccination, isolate the disease to the area closest to the patients. In regard to the cyclical of the disease, Tordera indicated that there was a regrowth in the year 2001, another in 2009 and a final in 2017. ""It is not known why it is a cyclical component"" as is the case with the flu. Anyway he pointed out that there are populations that it is ""hard to get"", either by ethnicity or by war, as in the case of Ukraine. After these good data, Tordera noted that they are the primary care teams of the province whose work leads to the success of vaccination campaigns in the 12 months and 4 years. The figures indicated that there that convey ""peace of mind"" to the population even though ""there can always be an isolated case"". The director general noted that the eradication plan shown its effectiveness in the high rate of vaccination in the region, which allows to prevent, through the promotion of the health of this disease. Measles can be considered that it is ""forgotten"" by the absence of cases in Spain, but after this forgetfulness is the ministry of Health that works in the vaccination of minors and the analysis of the samples of the affected people. ""We do not forget the diseases, but we are lucky not to suffer and even when there are groups that can come with imported cases, by having a vaccination so high, does not spread,"" said Tordera.

The regional office of this agency of the United Nations affirms that among the causes is that the vaccination coverage has fallen below the threshold of 95% necessary to control the disease. Zsuzsanna Jakab, regional director of the WHO in Europe, has pointed out that after the steady progress that had been given in the last two years towards its elimination, it is particularly worrying that the cases are increasing"". According to the Verification Commission for Regional Elimination of Measles and Rubella (RVC), two-thirds of the 53 european countries have already interrupted endemic transmission of measles, but in 14 the disease is still endemic. The majority (474) of the 559 cases reported in January were given in seven of these endemic countries (France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Romania, Switzerland and Ukraine) and the preliminary data for February show the number of new diagnoses has increased significantly. According to the WHO, in all these countries the use of the second dose of the vaccine is below 95%, so it is necessary that all endemic countries to adopt ""urgent measures to halt the spread of measles within their own borders"". ""Together we must make sure that you do not lose the progress made towards its elimination regional,"" says Jakab. More specifically, the main outbreaks of measles in Europe are taking place in Italy and Romania, a country that has reported more than 3,400 cases and 17 deaths from January 2016 to march 10 of this year, the most in areas with coverage especially low. Italy, for its part, has shown a significant increase of cases in the first few weeks of 2017, with 238 reported infections in January of this year and a similar number in February, according to preliminary data. The WHO Regional Office for Europe works closely with national health authorities of the countries with the most risk with the aim of planning and implementing appropriate response measures, including an increase in surveillance and the identification and vaccination of groups at risk. The 53 Member States of the Region, by adopting the European Action Plan on vaccines, 2015-2020, pledged to eliminate measles and rubella in this period.",4,"spain"

So, again a turning point because from 2016 until now we see a sustained growth. It is noteworthy, as pointed out by the experts, that reduce the rates vaccine below the 95% protection declines. This has occurred, as required by the Ministry of Health, Catalonia and Cantabria with the first dose of the mmr vaccine (measles, rubella and mumps and a half in all (with a 94,1%) in the second.

In the months of April and especially may, the majority of them. In the same time period to 2018, the Valencian Community, was the one who collected two of every three cases reported in Spain (120 of 173).

However, Ann-Sofie Cavefors do not see any substantial vaccinationsmotstand among the parents in the country, even though some are hesitant and asking more questions than ever before. The fake report, which came up in the 90's, who claimed that there is a link between autism and the vaccine remains a problem, but some of the parents would also have to wait until the child is slightly older. With regard to the disease and its complications are most dangerous when their children are small, in the event of such a delay could be fatal. In low-income countries, mainly in Asia and Africa, measles is still one of the most common causes of death among children under five years of age.

We should all be happy that we don't have to think about it, but we also have to remember, if It is a success of vaccination, which has made the disease all but disappeared from Stockholm, Sweden. If we are going to manage to keep the measles away, or if we are going to get to see the more of the outbreak here is on those of us living here. We need to take responsibility for the fact that our children are vaccinated, and we can see with our own vaccination coverage. To allow the vaccination of their own children, is not only a natural act, in order to protect them from very serious diseases. It is also a way of showing solidarity with other people who for medical reasons cannot be vaccinated themselves, or the children who have not yet had time to receive their vaccination. To ensure a high level of vaccination coverage in the community. Let me point out a few of the important steps in order to ensure that measles is not experienced by more and more health care Professionals will not be exposed to contamination, or to run the risk of infecting others. All of that, Everyone who works in health care to guards against the disease . So, we are already working in the Stockholm area.

We are going to have 95% of vaccinationsgrad. What do we have in Stockholm county, sweden, overall, but there are areas that do not at all reach up to that level. That's where the care work is more intense. We used to have a personality that is swaying precariously in the matter of vaccination, and also allowed the representatives to convey a negative outlook on the basis of the föräldraträffar. It is, of course, is completely unacceptable, and the child-health station is now disused. The national vaccinationsregister is required.

There are many people who don't have a clue vaccinationsläget or are able to keep track of the small vaccinationskorten things in life. Mässlingsfri pre-school! The free choice of the pre-school will be waived when the parents choose not to vaccinate their children. Those children who are at risk of exposure to infection should be a priority. The parent who is opting out of vaccination for their children may suffer the consequences of that decision and, therefore, can be referred to a special nursery school places, in order to protect the other children. Take responsibility for your own vaccination coverage. People who were born after 1980, is usually an adequate level of vaccination coverage with two doses. People who were born prior to 1980 or abroad and may need vaccinations. This is easily done on the vaccinationsmottagning.

There may be young children who have not yet had the time to be vaccinated, and children and adults who, due to illness or drug therapy have a weakened immune system and are therefore not able to be vaccinated. – Vaccination is also an act of solidarity. The more people that vaccinate, the less is the risk of an outbreak. In the uk we have a tradition of a good cover, but unfortunately it is a part of the myths, and the pure error, which makes more and more today to opt out of the vaccinations, and there is cause for concern, "" says Rolf Gustafsson.

The far-right Northern League party and the Five Star Movement (M5S) have both proposed scrapping the law which states that children cannot enrol in a creche unless they have been vaccinated against measles and nine other infectious diseases.  Parents who do not get their child vaccinated can be fined up to €500 (L445).  The proposal comes ahead of the general election on 4 March when the two parties will go up against the centre-right coalition in power.  But the pledge sparked outrage after a deadly measles outbreak in Italy last year, which infected nearly 5,000 people and killed four, was blamed on the anti-vaccination movement.  In the first six months of 2017, 3,232 cases of measles were recorded in the country, compared with 478 in the previous year.  In June, a six-year-old boy died from the disease. His doctor confirmed that he had not had the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) jab.  Italy's measles immunisation rate of 87% is much lower than the 95% threshold recommended by the World Health Organisation (WHO).  This week, Northern League leader Matteo Salvini said the MMR jab should be optional. ""Vaccinations yes, obligation no,"" he told reporters.  M5S's leader, Luigi Di Maio, echoed that position. In the past, M5S has highlighted what it called the dangers of vaccinations.  ""Mass vaccination is a gift to multinational pharma and it is the furthest thing there is to an appropriate approach,"" a party statement in October 2015 read.  When M5S MPs entered the Italian parliament in 2009, one of their draft legislations concerned the rejection of vaccinations for public service employees.  Italy's former prime minister, Matteo Renzi, said he supported the law as it stands that all children should be vaccinated.  ""You don't mess around with vaccines. The health of our children is at stake, not an extra [percentage] point at the polls. We are on the side of science, research and medicine and won't turn back,"" he said.  Italy is not the only European country struggling to control an outbreak. Measles has been spreading across Europe due to a drop in immunisation in several countries including France, Germany, Poland, Romania and Ukraine.

Around the world, measles rates are rapidly on the rise. Early data provided by the World Health Organizationexternal icon (WHO) has shown that, throughout the first six months of 2019 alone, more measles cases have been identified around the world than during any year since 2006.  Recently, the UK lost its measles-free rating after a rapid decrease in immunisation against MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella). Data gathered from the NHS has shown an overall loss of confidence by parents towards the effectiveness of vaccination.  “Countries such as the U.K. have lost their (measles) elimination status, while the U.S. saw record numbers of cases — and narrowly avoided losing elimination status.

This is a major step backwards following a record low is measles cases in 2016.  Experts have suggested that opting out of vaccinations is a big part of the problem, with the WHO stating that there have been overall declines in immunisation coverage, particularly amongst marginalised groups. Alongside this, interruptions in vaccine supplies and underperforming disease surveillance systems have also been blamed.  Dr Zsuzsanna Jakab, from the WHO, said: “Every new person affected by measles in Europe reminds us that unvaccinated children and adults, regardless of where they live, remain at risk of catching the disease and spreading it to others who may not be able to get vaccinated. This short-term setback cannot deter us from our commitment to be the generation that frees our children from these diseases once and for all.”  282 cases were recorded in the UK in 2017 and at the end of January 2018, there were 51 confirmed cases in the West Midlands alone.

For this to happen there needs to be sufficient funding to deliver fully-resourced services, be that in general practice, the community or through local authorities.  “There is a voluntary system for childhood vaccination system in the UK. Parents and carers need support to make informed choices, but if misinformation – be this via targeted campaigns or through inaccurate reporting – is a deterrent this must be stopped.

"62214","Confirmed Cases of Measles In Gloucestershire  Public Health England is asking parents to check that they and their children have received two doses of the MMR vaccine, which protects against Measles, Mumps and Rubella.  It comes after three confirmed and six probable cases of measles in children and young adults in Gloucestershire.  Measles is a highly infectious viral illness that can be very unpleasant and sometimes lead to serious complications. It is now uncommon in the UK because of the effective MMR vaccination programme. Although usually a mild illness in children, measles can be more severe in adults.  Dr Toyin Ejidokun, Consultant in Communicable Disease Control for Public Health England South West, said: “While measles is now relatively uncommon in England thanks to the MMR vaccine, those who are unvaccinated, or not fully vaccinated, remain susceptible to the disease.  “The cases we have seen recently have affected children and young adults. It is important to be aware that it is never too late to have the vaccine, so if you’ve not received two doses of the vaccine in the past – or you’re unsure – speak to your GP. There’s no harm in receiving an additional dose where there is any uncertainty.  “Also remain alert to the symptoms of measles, which can include cold-like symptoms, sore red eyes, a high temperature or a red-brown blotchy rash. If you experience these symptoms seek medical attention, but be sure to phone ahead before you visit your GP surgery so arrangements can be made to prevent others from being infected.“  You should also see your GP if you’ve been in close contact with someone who has measles and you’ve not been fully vaccinated (had two doses of the MMR vaccine) or haven’t had the infection before – particularly those who are immunosuppressed, pregnant or infants.  An MMR catch-up immunisation campaign was launched in 2013, targeting unimmunised and partially immunised adolescents aged 10 to 16 years. As a result of this campaign only 90 cases were confirmed in 2014, and 59 cases in 2015. 2016 has seen a marked increase with 318 confirmed cases of measles reported in England during 2016.  The MMR vaccination is routinely provided as part of the NHS Childhood Immunisation Programme in England. Uptake is high with more than 90% of children receiving 1 dose of the vaccine by 2 years of age since 2012.  The initial symptoms of measles develop around 10 days after a person is infected.  These can include cold-like symptoms, such as a runny nose, sneezing, and a cough, sore, red eyes that may be sensitive to light, a high temperature (fever), which may reach around 40C (104F). A few days later, a red-brown blotchy rash will appear. This usually starts on the head or upper neck, before spreading outwards to the rest of the body.  Symptoms usually resolve in about 7 to 10 days.

As reported by the CDC, based on the data of the last periods of seasonal influenza in our country, it seems that the epidemiology of the disease, after the pandemic of 2009, has now acquired the characteristics of a normal seasonal outbreak. The activity of seasonal influenza begins to rise in January and the peak occurs during the months of February-March. The influenza surveillance at the european level and in Greece started in early October and will be completed mid-May. The most effective way to protect one from the flu is early vaccination, which is recommended to be done during the months of October-November every year, but may be continued throughout the duration of the flu season. Overall, according to the CDC, there have been recorded six deaths from laboratory-confirmed influenza with hospitalization in the ICU, and as pointed out no one was vaccinated for the flu, while five (83,3%) of the six victims were in a clinical risk group for which it is recommended vaccination.

The for 89.994 cases of measles in 48 european countries in the first half of 2019, a number more than twice that recorded over the corresponding period of last year (44.175) and already higher than that for the whole of last year (84.462), reports in.gr. The WHO adds in his report that on the basis of the data for 2018, no longer stops to consider the UK, Greece, Czech republic and Albania, countries where the disease has been ""eliminated"".

The largest epidemics have broken out and continue to wreak havoc are those in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (155.460 cases), Madagascar (127.454) and in Ukraine (54.246), notes the WHO. In the US, there were 1.215 outbreaks of measles in 30 States, an epidemic that marked the worst since 1992, pointed to federal health officials Monday. According to experts, the virus is spreading especially among children who go to schools and the parents don't have to vaccinate. Global survey published in June showed that confidence in the vaccine is highest in the poorest countries, but decreasing in richer countries, where spread the skepticism. ""Indeed we see the misinformation [about the vaccines] as a growing threat,"" said O'brien.

The leadership of the ministry of Health calls on the last three months the high-risk populations to get vaccinated against the disease. An invitation"" but that is a dead letter. In particular, with regard to the populations of Roma from the beginning of an outbreak are in the spotlight and are hotbeds of disease transmission, vaccinations are progressing at snail's pace. As is apparent from the data of the epidemiological report of the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), from the beginning of an outbreak and until today there have been about 4,000 vaccinations in populations of Roma from the experts of the Centre. It is obvious that this is a small number of vaccinated, given the outbreak of measles, and as much as I try to explain the great refusal for vaccination of the Roma population with arguments related to the particular culture and the ""indifference"" for protection from diseases, even fatal. Hurdles continued, however, and the vaccination of the Greeks in the general population. The problematic and deficient as it turns out anymore a result of movement of measles virus vaccines do not allow the Greeks to protect themselves against the disease. Vaccines for measles are given with the dropper and when it has been officially confirmed by the insurance funds that the citizen who asks for it, has been subjected to a control antibody for measles that is negative. Pockets of the disease in the populations of Roma, mainly in southern Greece From the beginning of an outbreak, in May last year, the focus of measles is located in southern Greece, particularly in Attica and the Peloponnese. Of the 690 total cases, the 422, have been recorded in Attica and 122 in the Peloponnese (the record relates to the prefectures of Argolida, Arcadia, Corinthia, Messinia, Lakonia). Other 75 cases are reported in Achaia and Ilia, which are included in the regions of Western Greece. They have also recorded 24 cases in central Greece, and a further 31 in central Macedonia, while in the other parts of the country the number of cases is one. It is worth noting, however, that in central Greece, Western Greece and central Macedonia the number of cases has rocketed within a month, from October to November. This is reflected as follows: in Greece the cases of 4 October amounted to 17, in Western Greece from 21 were 46 and in central Macedonia, of the 3 cases has shot up to 28.

In ""victims"" of the disease, as shown by the data of the CDC, shall be converted, but the unglazed <U+03B5>µß<U+03BF><U+03BB><U+03B9><U+03B1><U+03C3><U+03C4><U+03B9><U+03BA><U+03AC>, that is, those who are completely <U+03B1><U+03BD><U+03B5>µß<U+03BF><U+03BB><U+03AF><U+03B1><U+03C3><U+03C4><U+03BF><U+03B9> or those who are incompletely vaccinated, i.e. received one dose of the vaccine. As is apparent from the figure that have been reported to the CDC, the majority of workers in the NHS who developed measles had not received the second dose of the vaccine for the disease. The issue of vaccinations in hospitals is the subject of the Committee on infectious diseases, which must inform about the necessity of vaccines, e.g., in the present context, the measles and the flu, and to vaccinate the staff. In fact, two years ago, when the officials were confronted again with the low rates of vaccination for flu, had been proposed as a reply to the ""naysayers"" of vaccines in the hospitals are asked to record the reasons for the refusal and to be judged on the cogency of them. While even more ""extreme"" was the proposal of the non-vaccinated doctors, nurses, etc be moved to other locations, less sensitive in order to protect themselves and the patients should be treated. However, the flu vaccination continues to be a bet that is lost in the hospitals, while just one in five workers, doctors and <U+03BD><U+03BF><U+03C2><U+03B7><U+03BB><U+03B5><U+03C5><U+03C4><U+03B5><U+03C2> in YOU is vaccinated. The work of the Committee monitor the management of the hospital and has the final responsibility for action in this field. It is worth noting, that the issue of compliance to vaccination had been raised as a key criterion in the recruitment process of governors to the hospitals, which had pointed out in his speech at an event at the University of Athens and the president of the c. d. c., mr. Theofilos Rosenberg. In this phase has not been clarified if the evaluation of the governors, was completed at the end of last year, included such indicators for measuring the performance of their work – but perhaps the number of vaccinated and patients in each hospital to indicate de facto that the situation has turned out.

As pointed out, wrongly, the population believes that measles is a childhood disease, as well as ""adults become ill, although more rarely than measles, but more serious than the children"", stressing that ""approximately 30% of cases of measles will experience one or more complications, is more frequent in children under 5 years of age and in adults over 20 years old,"" Explains that sometimes, these complications can even cause death, stating that from the beginning of the epidemic until today, there have been three deaths, all in unvaccinated or incompletely vaccinated individuals with vaccine measles. The fact that the deaths were individuals unvaccinated or incompletely vaccinated, according to mr. Rosenberg, ""underlines the need for the administration of 2 doses vaccine against measles"". ""The majority of cases of measles in the general population of Greek citizenship were adults over the age of 25,"" comments on the occasion of the last fatal case of the disease involving a 35-year-old woman who had been vaccinated, but only with one dose.

"50714","Vaccination prevents about 2.5 million deaths each year. Meps welcomed the joint action plan for the vaccination to combat the reluctance of people to be vaccinated. During the Session of the European Parliament took place in Strasbourg (16-19/04), meps adopted a resolution expressing concerns about the inadequate rate of vaccination coverage of Europe and the consequences for public health, as cases of measles tripled in the European Union in the last year. Also proposed various measures to make the assessment of the safety of vaccines more transparent and ask for more communication and awareness campaigns to combat the false information on vaccination, in particular on the internet. In accordance with the resolution, the vaccination prevents about 2.5 million deaths a year worldwide, and reduces the cost of treatment associated with the disease, including antibiotic therapy. Meps note that there were 215.000 cases of vaccine-preventable diseases (VPD). Meps are in favour of the creation of a real and epistemological dialogue with the civil society, in order to combat the unreliable, misleading and non-scientific information about vaccination. Meps point out that the vaccines should continue to be strictly controlled in tests of multi-stage and reviewed regularly. Welcome the imminent launch of a joint action, which is co-financed by the European Union programme for health, for the increase in the number of people who have been vaccinated. However, meps call for greater transparency in the production and evaluation of vaccines and of the auxiliary the substances, in the financing of independent research programmes and to the potential side effects of vaccines, in order to restore confidence in the vaccination. They also point out that researchers must report any conflict of interest. You will also need to lifted the confidentiality of the deliberations of the evaluation committee of the European Medicines Agency (EMA), and published most of the scientific and clinical data. Meps are in favour of strengthening the legal base of the European Union to cover immunization and are calling on the European Commission to facilitate a more harmonised schedule of vaccination throughout the European Union and to increase the support of the national initiatives vaccination. About undue to the fact that the cost of a comprehensive package of vaccines for a child is 68 times more expensive in 2014 than in 2001. They are proposing a collective purchase of vaccines, thus gathering the purchasing power of the member states. It is noted that the European Commission will present a report in the second quarter of 2018 for enhanced cooperation against diseases that can be prevented by vaccination. Measles is a serious disease and by the beginning of 2016, have been reported 57 deaths across the European Union. According to the European Centre for Disease Control (ECDC), the majority of cases were reported from Romania (5.224), Italy (4.978), Greece (1.398) and Germany (906), from 1 February 2017 to 31 January 2018 , 34%, 9% and 6%, respectively, of all cases reported from countries in the EU / EEA. From 1 January 2018, have been reported with seven deaths in 4 countries – Romania (3) Italy (2) Greece (1) France (1). Before the introduction of the vaccine in the early 1960s, the measles – a highly contagious virus that is spread by the air or contaminated surfaces – killed 2.6 million people each year. The 2016 caused the death of 89.780 people, which is the smallest number of deaths caused by measles until today. The most effective measure for the prevention of the spread of measles is to ensure that 95% of the population is vaccinated with two doses of measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR). However, in the EU only Croatia, Hungary, Lithuania, Portugal, Slovakia, Spain and Sweden have reached the target of 2016. For example, both Romania and Italy, the countries with the largest number of cases in 2017, was well below the target safety iefimerida.gr",4,"greece"

Measles is a highly contagious viral disease which sometimes can lead to serious complications (hearing loss, brain damage etc.), even fatal.Overall, immunization rates show improvement in Europe, as well as the percentage of children who receive the first dose of the vaccine reached an average of 95%, while the second dose 90%. On the other hand, however, growing pockets of resistance to vaccination, particularly in certain countries, where more and more parents refuse to vaccinate their children, usually for fear of the alleged side effects, despite scientific assurances that vaccines are safe and effective.

Taking into account the population, the Ukraine also had the highest proportion of cases of measles with 1.209 incidents per one million inhabitants, an increase of ten times compared to 2017. The rise is attributed mainly to the fact that in the last few years, because of the conflict with Russia, it decreased dramatically to only 31% in the rate of vaccination, one of the lowest in the world, although more recently it recovered again to around 90%. The WHO hopes that the increase of cases in Europe will prove to be transient, although the current vaccination coverage does not seem high enough, in order to prevent the circulation of the virus in several countries.""The picture for 2018 makes it clear that the current rate of progress, in terms of increased rates of immunisation, will be insufficient to stop the transmission of measles.

"134","The Salzburg medical Director Petra Juhasz answers 13 burning questions about the highly infectious measles Virus. How contagious measles is? Highly contagious, one of the most contagious diseases ever. Almost 100 percent of those Exposed become ill. How am I me? Petra Juhasz: By droplet infection but also through the air, so there is no direct contact necessary. In the room where an infected Person has been, is a contagion until two hours afterwards is possible. The Virus is ""floating around"", so to speak, so for a long time. How long am I contagious? Four to five days before the typical rash comes four days after the appearance of the spots. It is contagious before you even know that you have measles. The greatest risk of Contagion is just before the rash occurs. Can measles be fatal? You can. Especially dangerous for infants and children up to five years and then again for adults. The particularly Insidious: infants Have the measles, can occur six to seven years later, as a complication of an inflammation of the Brain. This doesn't happen often, but it is feared because it almost always ends fatally. But you can die during the measles disease, since the entire immune system is weakened, and super-infections can occur, such as pneumonia or inflammation of the Brain (risk of neurological deficit). Measles are a pure children's illness? No, you can get them at any age. How long is the incubation period? Eight to ten days after infection, the early stage begins with fever, conjunctivitis, cough, runny nose and so on. After 14 days, the typical rash, in extreme cases, only after 21 days. That's why these three weeks, in which we must not, for example, in the school, to the workplace or to events. What are the symptoms? First of all nonspecific, such as cough, coryza, conjunctivitis, fever or white patches of skin on the lining of the mouth. This sound is often transient before the rash comes, typically behind the ears first and then all over the body. What do I do if I have measles? To stay at home and telephone contact with a physician taking. This is defined, then the further process. Against the measles, there is no therapy, only palliative measures and bed rest. A bacterial super-infection occurs, may require antibiotics to be administered. The help but only against super-infection, not against the measles directly. Which individuals are particularly at risk? The disease is dangerous, especially for infants and Pregnant women can not be vaccinated. Also people who are not allowed to receive due to an immune deficiency or immune-inflammatory therapy this vaccine are exposed to a high risk. When can children be vaccinated? According to the vaccination schedule from the tenth month of life the first Time. The second dose follows the 13. Month. There are two doses of the vaccine are needed. A subsequent vaccination is useful? Yes, if it is administered within 72 hours after the initial contact with an infected Person. Also, if it is later, can be mitigated in the course of the disease may be, at least. Vaccinate makes always sense. Can also chronically ill people to vaccinate? Some Yes, you should clarify with the doctor. How can I protect myself? Only by the two-time vaccination. Source: SN",3,"austria"

The stresses Ursula Wiedermann-Schmidt, Director of the Institute for Specific prophylaxis and tropical medicine at the MedUni Vienna and scientific Director of the Austrian Impftags 2019 – this is, accordingly, under the Motto ""Impfprävention – From Young to Old."" And in view of the undesirable Renaissance of serious infectious diseases such as measles, whooping cough (Pertussis) or diphtheria, but also the many Influenza-associated deaths, requested the Expert from the MedUni Vienna, the Austrian medical chamber and the Austrian chamber of pharmacists at a press conference on Wednesday that Vaccination must be ""in"" and lack of Vaccination is seen as a social Problem. To achieve this, it is urgently necessary, the ""negative Impfpopulismus"" the right and effective communication strategies to oppose, said Wiedermann-Schmidt: ""Because it is only when we have Doctors and all health professionals with sufficient Knowledge about the Vaccination and the right of communication to the Embassy actually. Therefore, we have put the immune system into the center of the plenary lecture to remind why certain diseases in certain age groups are particularly dangerous and why vaccination in all age groups are important.“ ""Only with a basic understanding, we can achieve that each Individual takes responsibility for the Whole, so diseases and death rates by infectious diseases and to reduce, prevent,"" she adds. Alone in the first half of 2018, there were, according to the world health organization, WHO, in Europe, more than 41,000 measles cases with 37 deaths. ""Each of these victims would have been prevented with a vaccination."" Many people would interpret the measles as a ""children's disease"" and therefore as something ""Easy"" to dismiss or, in General, the Vaccinate out of ignorance as ""unnatural"" to reject. From the protection of the Individual to the collective protection of knowledge about the vaccinations must be done in Childhood with the ""right language"", emphasizes the expert. ""The lecture, 'Real cool: cruising, chilling, vaccinate', therefore deals not only with the vaccines that are at a young age is important, but also how we reach this age group through the right language and images, and into the boat can get."" As a first step, so again man-Schmidt, must be the Impfverpflichtung for all the people who work in health and social professions: ""2017 measles diseases affected nearly 20 percent of the health staff in Austria – an intolerable situation."" Apart from self-protection and protection of the patient or the patient's Physicians, nursing staff, and pharmacists would have to go forward as a strong role model to motivate the population to be vaccinated. Only the individual protection to collective protection. Wiedermann-Schmidt: ""But, unfortunately, we find that the spirit of the age 'egoism' is to Vaccinate. Each looks only to himself, as he or she would not be part of the social fabric. But only those who protect themselves and be vaccinated can, also protects all of the other people in the personal environment, and to prevent gaps. This is a social responsibility that should be for everyone, of course.“ Vaccination: Small Large protect, The measles problem is undoubtedly dramatic, but it must not distract from other vaccine-preventable diseases, said the head of the Impfreferats of the Austrian medical Association (ÖAK), Rudolf Schmitzberger. For example, the number of whooping cough cases have doubled, from 2015 to 2017, more than. ""The disease is spreading almost as rapidly as measles. The symptoms in children and adults are often interpreted to be late correctly. Adequate Vaccination is, therefore, especially for sensitive groups of people such as Pregnant women are particularly important.“ Two-thirds of the Two - to three-year-old wore also pneumococcal germs, unnoticed, and it would be so for the potential danger to life for your environment. ""Against pneumococci, there are now a wider effective 13-fold vaccine, the already more than 100 countries have adopted. Our Free children's vaccination programme should change from the current 10-fold vaccine, this vaccine,“ urges Schmitzberger. Influenza will also transfer a large part of children, vaccination should therefore be added to the vaccination programme. ""Small protect Large: Are vaccinated, the grandson, are not only protected themselves but also the parents and grandparents before the disease"", so his conclusion. Pharmacies, as important Advisory bodies ""of The Austrian pharmacists to comes to the topic of Vaccination, a particularly important role: those of the consultation in terms of prevention. With more than 400,000 patients and customer contacts per day, the local pharmacies are the first point of contact for the population in health issues. It is an immense responsibility, and the Chance to take on the health consciousness of the people will have a positive impact for the pharmacists to. This is especially true with Vaccination, a topic that is very controversial and in the Public as a result of information a great deal of uncertainty deficits prevails,“ stresses Gerhard Kobinger, member of the Presidium of the Austrian chamber of pharmacists.

"154","I know, I'm going with this post on the ice, because nothing splits the parent nation as the topic of Vaccination. But I would like to report here just as I changed my attitude to this topic. In a single day. Because I was really scared of the measles. Have I overreacted? Maybe...but now from the beginning. Brief history: Vaccinate Yes, but we go our way As the Chocolate about a month old, I began to deal me with the topic of Vaccination. I took my first opinions from our known circle. Then I informed myself in the Internet, read a book, ""Vaccinations: pro and contra"" and left me by our pediatrician for advice, from this I formed my own opinion and decided to vaccinate the Chocolate, but about 6 months later than usual. It didn't feel to me just right to inoculate a 3-month-old infant. Already alone from the body weight, I thought that the immune system of an older baby can cope with the Dose of the vaccine, and in particular the additives are just better when there is more ""mass"" is. It seemed somehow logical. And so we inoculated the usual vaccinations, but with a time delay. Of course, everything in consultation with our pediatrician. By the way, with his over 20 years of experience, an ""old hand"" and is very calm, not only with regard to Vaccinate. The Mumps-measles-rubella vaccination was on the program in November. We already had an appointment, but we had to go to the parents-in-law is about 700km and the pediatrician advised us, because of the risk of Impfmasern stock, so we moved the vaccination. But in November, the acclimatization in the nursery was, and since the Chocolate is in the nursery, we are in the 2-weeks-rhythm sick. Vaccinate wasn't really possible. The measles come to us a few weeks Ago, I read of the first measles cases in Berlin and began to make me thoughts. But then something always came up and I lost the Mumps-measles-vaccination from the eyes. This week, the topic of Vaccination was quite strong by the Austrian media. ""Pure scaremongering!"" I thought to myself. I let myself be but still slightly unsettling, contacted our pediatrician due to a Impftermins on Di. Mailbox full of. On Wednesday as well. I couldn't get through to him. That he was on holiday, was more often the case, but not by to never. I was surprised, because he is always very accessible, and the same stands out. Yesterday, my husband is out of work came home and asked me whether I would have reached our children's doctor. No. There is namely measles cases in a Waldorf kindergarten in our neighborhood. So right in our vicinity, only a few tram stops away. Yikes! Now it was serious...because the Chocolate and the man in the Park, in which the Kindergarten is located, often times on the Playground. It was already late in the evening, the children's doctor to call, so I did the same today in the Morning. Finally I reached the good men, or rather his Mailbox: ""The practice is up to 9.3. closed.“ Oh, great. Now I had a queasy feeling in the stomach. I made quite a bit of accusations. Why had I delayed the vaccination only such a long time? Ok, the Chocolate was sick and we couldn't vaccinate. But still. That was irresponsible of me. Especially because I knew that the disease can be even fatal complications. And I read in the guide that should be immediately vaccinated if the measles outbreak. What if you get infected somehow? Such children's diseases to go around, but really fast. I had a panic. Right Panic. You know that feeling in your stomach when you know you made a mistake? And if you know that you now have to act quickly? Quite stressful... I searched out the number of another pediatrician. We already knew, because we were already once with her. I did not reach them, but they returned within a short period of time. Yes, the daughter has to as soon as possible to be vaccinated, it would have been 40 (!) Measles-positive cases. You would, however, only on Wednesday for a free appointment. I took the and inquired whether the is sufficient to vaccinate only on Wednesday. ""We don't want to overreact,"" she said. Well, if you think...you will know it as a Doctor, probably. But somehow convinced me to do so. I consulted with my mom, sensing my fear. She said that she had recently seen a new doctor's practice for Kids in our neighborhood. I called there and got within 2 hours an appointment. Wow! On the one hand I was happy and on the other hand, I thought to myself, ""if they give us such a quick appointment, the location can't be serious"". Even more panic.

If we are unable to establish and maintain high vaccination coverage in every community, children and adults will experience unnecessary pain and suffering, and some will be doomed to a tragic death, "" said Günter Pfaff, the president of the regional Commission of verification of elimination of measles and rubella. On the basis of the figures of 2018, the disease is no longer considered ""eliminated"" in the United Kingdom, Greece, Czech Republic and Albania.

Between 1 January and 10 march, 100 patients had to be hospitalized (of which 5 on intensive care) and for 27 of them, measles caused pneumonia, a serious complication. 90% of the cases have occurred in patients with non-or improperly vaccinated, stressed public Health France. The region of Auvergne, the Rhone-Alpes region is the most affected, with, in particular, an outbreak of 53 cases (36 suspected and 17 confirmed) in the ski resort of Val Thorens (in the majority of the seasonal workers) and 5 cases in the neighbouring valleys (Savoie). This is clearly less than in the same period in 2018, which had recorded a total of 966 cases, but this continues to be unacceptable in our country, has commented the minister of Health, Agnes Buzyn, questioned Wednesday in the national Assembly during questions to the government. Increasing cases of measles in the world In 2018, France has saved the 2,800 cases of measles. In the fall of 2012 and 2016, the disease has experienced a resurgence since the end of 2017, in favour of a decrease of the immunization coverage. The world health Organization and Unicef have warned recently in the face of the rebound of the disease in the world. According to Unicef, ten countries, including Brazil, Ukraine and France, are responsible for about three-quarters of the total increase in cases in 2018. In France, the vaccine has been made mandatory for children born after 1 January 2018. Previously, he was part of the recommended vaccines. A first injection is made to the 12 months of the child, followed by a second between 16 and 18 months.

The city's mayor Bill de Blasio has ordered Tuesday that the inhabitants not vaccinated in various parts of the city are forced to receive the vaccine. This is a new episode of the return of measles, observed in many western countries, and directly linked to the rise of the anti-vaccination. New York declares a state of public health emergency The city has declared a state health emergency in four areas located in the neighborhood of Williamsburg, in the north-west of Brooklyn. All individuals ""who may have been exposed to measles should be vaccinated, under penalty of criminal prosecution and a fine of $ 1,000. The municipality has also warned that, in these areas, day care centres for the orthodox jewish community as well as the yeshivas, talmudic schools, which accept children who are not vaccinated would also be subject to criminal prosecution and even closure. So far, the State of New York required a series of vaccinations in order to integrate the school system, but granting exemptions for religious reasons. Since October, 285 cases of measles have been recorded in New York city when the disease had almost disappeared in the United States, with only 86 patients in the whole country by 2016 (2 in New York), according to data from the Center for disease control (CDC). Measles is a highly contagious disease, for which there is no curative treatment, and that can cause medical complications, and even death. No deaths were reported in New York since the beginning of this health crisis. The resurgence of measles in New York, as in several other regions of the world, particularly in Europe, is attributed to the movement of distrust of vaccination, largely fuelled by the internet in general and social networks in particular. The ""anti-vax"" often evoke an expected ratio between the measles vaccine and of disease or with an increased risk of autism, while all the scientific studies on the subject showed that there was no link between the two. ""A more muscular,"" Neither religious texts nor the jewish authorities of New York does not advise against vaccination. The mayor has indicated to be in contact with the representatives of the jewish community, even if none was present during the press conference. Bill de Blasio recalled that the city had been, for several months, an extensive communications campaign to encourage the vaccination. Documents have been distributed, and the information line, and tens of thousands of phone calls to automated have been passed in yiddish with members of the orthodox community. ""It was time to move to a more muscular,"" said the municipal official, stating that the vaccine would be available free of charge to families who cannot afford to pay. The measles vaccine is most often administered in the form of MMR (measles, mumps, rubella, called the MMR in the United States. ""This situation can be resolved quickly,"" assured the mayor. ""We can put an end to it."" ""When you choose not to vaccinate your child, keep in mind that you also have this choice for people who gravitate around him,"" pleaded Herminia Palacio, deputy mayor in charge of health and doctor. It has also indicated that its services had received information according to which, stood of the ""measles party"", to which parents brought their children to be exposed to the measles. The authorities of Rockland, a county located north of New York city become another major focus of measles, decided march 26, to prohibit schools and public places for minors who are not vaccinated. But a judge has suspended the ban on Friday, after being seized by a dozen parents of a school in the county. Measles on the rise in 2017 in France in France, after having decreased between 2012 and 2016, the number of cases of measles has seen an increase from November 2017, mainly due to inadequate immunization coverage among infants (79% with two doses of the vaccine instead of the 95% required), children and young adults. Measles is a viral infection, a potentially serious and highly contagious (each patient can infect up to 20 people) by air either directly from a patient or indirectly as a result of the persistence of the virus in the air. The rash lasts 5 to 6 days, the complex shapes are more frequent in patients aged less than 1 year and more than 20 years. They may require hospitalization for pneumonia or serious neurological complications, up to death. The phase of contagiousness starts the day before the first symptoms appear, and extends up to 5 days after the beginning of the appearance of the buttons. Only medication to relieve the symptoms of measles can be given, because there is no treatment to cure this disease. By contrast, there is a vaccine that can limit the spread of this disease and avoid serious complications. For this, it is imperative to check your vaccination status because only vaccination can protect you but also protect others (especially children under the age of 1 year, and immunocompromised persons who may not benefit from vaccination).

Measles not a trivial disease, and vaccinations are one of the most effective preventive medical measures.

The current draft law tightens the rules in force, as they have not used sufficient. The CDU/CSU parliamentary group in the tightening right, because only a complete vaccination of all children in day care and school can ensure that no contagion shaft. Therefore, it is particularly encouraging that the draft law provides the vaccination book for all people who are in institutions in which children or asylum seekers are looked after or accommodated. It also includes staff in medical institutions. In addition, we must also analyze the reasons why over 97 percent of the children of the first measles vaccination received, the rate in the second round of vaccination, however, lies less than 93 percent.

If necessary, you should think about a legal obligation to vaccinate. ""In the practices of the Physicians, cases of measles are piling up at the moment. Both from a medical as well as ethical point of view, it is imperative to increase vaccination rates,"" said the Chairman of the Board of the KBV, Andreas streets.

"4318","Given the current increase in measles cases, with Minister man Lucha called social for a Impfplicht. ""Personally, I think that a vaccination for measles may not be a taboo. In principle, it is of course always better to refrain from coercion and sanctions, and to put on a good advice and Appeals. But the current increase in measles cases, and the permanent, below the recommended Coverage of 95 percent for the second measles vaccination in our country show that vaccination Appeals and awareness are not enough alone. In Baden-Württemberg alone have been reported this year already 45 measles cases in the same period last year, there were only 14 cases. Due to the severe course of the disease with the risk of threatening complications of life and to the protection of the health of infants, whose immune systems can't develop a Vaccine, but older children and adults who cannot be vaccinated for health reasons, I think it is important to lead the discussion to a vaccination compulsory now seriously,“ said Minister of health of the man Lucha. Measles are highly contagious and potentially life-threatening measles are characterized by a very high level of Infectivity by almost 100 percent. The infection almost always leads to the outbreak of the disease, that is, the manifestation of the index is close to 100 percent. Other infectious diseases are significantly lower than these values, for example, in the case of Influenza, only about 30 percent of the Infected to the onset of the disease. In addition, the implementation of the measles vaccination is only from the age of about a year makes sense, as the immune system, smaller children can build up due to his Immaturity, only an insufficient protection. While this is true also for other diseases such as Mumps and rubella, the rate of complications and late effects are less serious. Against this Background, there is currently no infectious disease in which the factual situation concerning a vaccination is similar to measles. In the discussion of the vaccination for measles is taken into account, however, that they would be connected, at least at the current range of vaccines, indirectly, also a vaccination for Mumps and rubella, as a mono vaccine for measles is not available in the market.",3,"germany"

"4333","The world health organization WHO warned that the UN closes-children's Fund, Unicef: Globally, the number of measles cases is on the rise. In a New York-report published by Unicef, an alarming number are. In which countries the Situation is particularly dramatic? According to Unicef, has increased in the last year in 98 countries, the number of measles cases. Thus, in the past, progress against this dangerous virus would be infectious to nothing. The Problem is, the focus is mainly ten countries, which had been for around three-quarters of the total measles rise. The highest increase of around 30 per cent had been in the Ukraine. There 35.120 people sick in the last year of measles. According to Ukrainian government figures at the beginning 24.042 to put in more people. A significant increase was also recorded in the Philippines with 13 percent. There 15.599 people sick in the last year of measles. And since the beginning of the year there 12.736 more cases were registered. Brazil reported, according to Unicef, 10.262 cases. The year before, there had been in the South American state not only registered the measles disease. In France, 2269 cases were reported. In Madagascar, more than 76,000 people with measles were infected since September. Also in Yemen, in Venezuela, Serbia, Sudan and Thailand, the Numbers have increased, according to Unicef, clearly. How dangerous is a vaccine-refusal is? Already in January, the world health organization (WHO) had declared the refusal of vaccination to become one of the ten largest global health risks – and as a proof also the outbreak of measles called the. By 2017, 30 percent more people were affected than in the previous year. And in the year 2018 229.000 cases of infectious disease were reported. 110,000 people had died, most of them children under five years of age. The high dark figure not counting. It is vaccinated to the best. This would prevent the extrapolation of the WHO, a year two to three million deaths. 1.5 million more Deaths could be avoided, however, if more people were vaccinated. And the Problem is not only in lack of access to vaccines , but specifically in countries with good health care in negligence, and a lack of trust. In this country opponents on - and offline medically untenable to spread allegations about the often resist the myth grew that there is a connection between measles vaccinations and autism. How is the Situation in Germany? In Germany, the number of infections has decreased in the past year: According to the Robert Koch Institute and the reported cases of 929 cases (2017) decreased to 543 cases.

The all-time record since the introduction of the reporting obligation 2001 2015 with 2465 of reported measles was the year of the cases. A Problem is still a lot of low vaccination rates. According to the Robert Koch-Institute, 92.9 percent of the first graders are vaccinated twice against measles. Far greater than the gaps in adolescents and young adults. A study by the Institute showed that more than 40 percent of 18 - to 44-Year-olds are not vaccinated against measles. It'll be vaccinated ""is often late and not complete,"" said Ole Wichmann, Robert Koch Institute, as the ethics Council recently organized a hearing on the topic. In Germany there is a mandatory vaccination? According to experts, measles epidemics can only be eliminated if at least 95 percent of the population are vaccinated. The German authorities continue to Vaccinate so far on a voluntary basis. Since 2015, there are only a few minor obligations: parents need to demonstrate ever since the day-care centre entrance a vaccination advice. And when it comes in the nursery or school to measles disease should not be vaccinated children temporarily excluded. Earlier, the health authorities in rigorous goods. In West Germany, for example, each child had to be vaccinated up to the age of twelve years up to the end of 1975, against smallpox. And in the East growing up to the age of 18 had. Age even mandatory a total of 20 vaccinations to Where there is currently a vaccination? In Australia, there are financial penalties. Those who refuse to let their children vaccinated, will lose a tax benefit for families (""No Jab, no Pay""), per month of loss for Impfmuffel is more than 50 dollars. In France, the compulsory vaccination of 2018, have been extended massively.

For adults, the STIKO recommends vaccination against measles for everyone born after 1970 and not at all or only once in Childhood against measles been vaccinated, or whose vaccination status is unclear. Measles-diseases in Germany in Germany, it always comes back to measles outbreaks, because less than 95% of the population are vaccinated (experts assume that can't spread the measles when more than 95% of citizens are vaccinated against measles). Previously was only achieved in the case of school beginners in individual Federal States, a vaccination Coverage of 95 % for both vaccines. This shows that the existing instruments should be better used to increase the vaccination rates.

Maybe you've heard of the current measles outbreaks in Germany and ask yourself whether you are contagious or in front of this highly contagious disease is protected? About three-quarters of these measles cases involved people aged 10 years or older. It is therefore not only a ""children's disease"". This information sheet is aimed at young people and adults who were not ill to measles. Here is what are measles know what the consequences of this disease, and whether vaccination is recommended. At a glance: measles and Post-measles is a highly contagious disease caused by measles virus. You can be especially in infants and adults have serious consequences. Only the signs of the disease may be combated, a targeted treatment, there is. There is an effective vaccination against measles: experts recommend that young people, the number of missed vaccinations to catch up on. Adults, born after 1970, it is recommended that a single measles vaccination, if you do not or only once vaccinated, or uncertain about a sufficient level of protection. Serious side effects of the vaccination are very rare, especially in comparison to the consequences of measles disease. What is measles? Measles is a viral disease that is one of the most contagious diseases ever. That is to say, as good as any unvaccinated person gets measles, if he has contact to a Diseased. The measles viruses are transmitted by tiny droplets when Talking, coughing or Sneezing from person to person. Someone is contagious, the disease is almost always.

Up to every third brain remain damage. Rarely it may occur even years later, to a special Form of inflammation of the brain. This so-called subacute sclerosing Panencephalitis (SSPE) is always fatal. Of 100 000 Measles is estimated at 4 to 11 are affected patients. Ill children under 5 years get frequent SSPE: 100 000, about 20 to 60.

Catch-up vaccination against measles With a vaccination, you can protect yourself and others. The Immunization is considered complete if in the Childhood of two measles vaccinations are done. Many young people, the second vaccination is missing in this country. Experts recommend that you in the Childhood of missed vaccinations to catch up on. Adults, born after 1970, experts recommend a one-time measles vaccination if: you have not been vaccinated. you were vaccinated as a child only once. it is unclear whether they have been vaccinated.

Within a year, infected more than a quarter of a million people with the Virus, more than 5000 Infected died. 90 percent of the victims were children under five years of age. In the meantime, the measles epidemic has extended to all the 26 provinces of the Congo, including the Ituri and North Kivu province, where already since one and a half years, the second worst Ebola epidemic in history is rampant. During the hemorrhagic fever is accompanied by disease of the whole world nervous, spreads the measles virus, largely unnoticed. Although it is now more than twice as many people died of measles like Ebola. Measles Virus is more contagious than Ebola The measles Virus is much more contagious: It is transmitted over the air, by coughing, of saliva droplets. Also, it is against the measles is still no cure. Anyone who has caught the Virus, can only hope that his body is done with it. The works in well-nourished children are generally quite well – only in rare cases to complications which can cause blindness, brain or lung inflammation. But who has the misfortune to be in the Congo have been born, can not rely on his body's own defenses. In the civil war of the country every tenth child is malnourished and has Vitamin A, which is for the fight against the Virus is crucial.

In a country where 95 per cent of the population are vaccinated, there may be no epidemics and more. High measles risk in many countries In the Congo will not be achieved this rate by far, which again is the ailing health care system, the armed conflicts especially in the East of the country, as well as the inaccessibility of the jungle covered with giant Kingdom are responsible. That in the case of measles-two vaccinations are necessary, makes the challenge even greater.

This call comes as a number of countries have reported measles outbreaks.  “Measles is very contagious disease and can affect anyone at any age. Vaccination with the MMR vaccine is the only way to protect against measles. The first MMR dose is given by GPs at 12 months of age, and the second dose is given to Junior Infants at school by HSE vaccination teams across Offaly/North Tipperary,"" the Minister said.  “Despite the availability of free and effective vaccines, a small number of people make the personal choice not to vaccinate themselves or their children in the belief that vaccines are unsafe or no longer necessary,"" she added.  “I am calling on all local parents not to delay getting the MMR for their child when it is due and I would urge any parent who has doubts or questions about vaccination to engage with your family doctor, or alternatively to visit the National Immunisation office website.""  “These sources of information are clear and accurate and will answer any queries you may have about the benefits or risks of vaccination. Older children and young adults who have not completed their two dose MMR vaccination schedule should be vaccinated as soon as possible,"" she continued.  In Austria, Belgium, Croatia, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Romania, Spain and Sweden - the number of cases of measles reported in January-February 2017 was more than double that of the first two months of 2016. ""This is a clear and present danger for Irish holidaymakers who are not vaccinated,"" Corcoran Kennedy commented.  “It is also important that older children going to language colleges or other summer camps are up to date with their MMR vaccine. We know what can happen from our own fairly recent experience. The scare surrounding the MMR vaccine in the 1990s resulted in a large reduction in uptake rates for this vaccine,"" the Offaly deputy explained.  “People need to be aware that a personal decision not to vaccinate has a wider public impact. Such a decision may put their own life and that of their child at risk, and it may also put at risk other vulnerable individuals that they come into contact with – people with a reduced immunity such as sick and elderly vulnerable patients, pregnant women or small babies who have not yet completed all their vaccinations.""  “It is hugely important to ensure that we vaccinate ourselves and our family members,"" she concluded.  ______________________________________________________________________________________________________  If you have a story for us, sports news, an event happening in your area, or if you want to submit pictures or videos, contact the Offaly Express team via e-mail to justin.kelly@iconicnews.ie, or through our Facebook.",3,"ireland"
"5260","North Dublin Measles Outbreak Update  The Department of Public Health East are managing a measles outbreak in the North Dublin area. Since July, there have been 13 measles cases in adults and children in North Dublin’s inner city. Transmission has occurred in Dublin hospitals and in households with poor vaccine uptake. We are now starting to see cases that acquired measles in the wider inner city community. There have been no deaths from measles associated with this outbreak to date.  Dr Ruth McDermott, Public Health Doctor said: “Measles can be a serious illness and is highly infectious. The best protection is to be fully vaccinated with two doses of MMR (Measles, Mumps, and Rubella) vaccine”.  People at increased risk of getting measles are those who are not fully vaccinated with two doses of MMR vaccine or have not had measles in the past. The risk of measles remains for up to 21 days after contact with a case of measles.  If you think you may have measles, stay at home and phone your General Practitioner (GP) for advice.  People who are sick should not attend any congregated settings such as creche, school, work or religious gatherings until they have recovered from illness.  Actions taken to prevent further cases:  The Public Health Department has sent information on measles to all Emergency Departments and GPs in Dublin, Kildare and Wicklow to inform them of this measles outbreak.  The Public Health Department gives the following advice on the most effective measures to control the further spread of this potentially serious illness:  Vaccination with measles containing vaccine (MMR):  All children should get the MMR vaccine when they are aged 12 months. If any child aged over 12 months has missed this vaccine they should get it now from their GP.  All children should get a second dose of MMR vaccine when they are 4-5 years old. This is usually given in Junior Infant Class at school. If a child has missed this second MMR vaccine they should get it now from their GP.  Adults under 40 years who have not had measles or have not received 2 doses of MMR vaccine should contact their GP to get the MMR vaccine.  Measles symptoms include:  High fever  Cough  Runny nose  Red eyes  Red rash that starts on head and spread down the body - this normally starts a few days after onset of illness. The rash consists of flat red or brown blotches, which can flow into each other. It lasts about 4-7 days  Vomiting, diarrhoea and tummy pain may also happen.  Measures to prevent the spread of measles if you think you may have measles:  1. Do not go to work, school or creche or any congregate setting such as shopping centre/cinema etc.  2. Stay at home and phone your GP. Tell the doctor or nurse that you think you might have measles.  3. Stop visitors coming to your house to prevent the spread of measles.  4. Pregnant women who have been exposed to measles should seek medical advice as soon as possible.  Risk of measles from international travel:  There are on-going outbreaks of measles in many countries in the European region and worldwide. Most of the cases in the EU in 2018 were reported from Romania, France, Greece, and Italy. Most people who get measles on holiday do not know they were exposed until they develop disease. Unrecognised exposures to measles have occurred at airports, on planes, at concerts, in shops and health care settings. In 2018, 31 deaths associated with measles have been reported in EU countries.  Advice for people travelling abroad:  Vaccination remains the most effective measure against infection. Children aged 6-11 months of age, travelling to other countries and regions where measles outbreaks are reported, are recommended MMR vaccine. This is an extra MMR vaccine. A dose given before 12 months of age does not replace the dose that would normally be given at 12 months of age. Please note, if requesting the MMR for babies from 6-11 months to protect them while travelling, the vaccine itself will be free but there will be an administration fee to be paid to your GP for this vaccine (as it is a travel vaccine).”  Older children should be age appropriately vaccinated. Children who have missed their recommended doses should get the MMR vaccine from their GP.  Adults may be at risk of measles, particularly those under 40 years of age who have never had measles or two doses of a measles vaccine.  More about measles:  Measles is highly contagious and is spread easily. The time between exposure to measles and developing the rash is usually 14 days (range 7-21 days). People are infectious from four days before rash starts until four days after.  Complications of measles:  Measles can cause chest infections, fits (seizures), ear infections, swelling of the brain and/or damage to the brain.  Measles is a notifiable disease and GPs and hospital clinicians should immediately notify Public Health if they suspect someone has measles  Last updated on: 22 / 08 / 2018",3,"ireland"

Worse than Italy, Romania with 2.702 infections while we follow well spaced out Germany with 365 cases, Poland with 145, and France, with 126 cases. The situation, however, precisely because of the decline of vaccinations, is deteriorating even in Germany where, in the early months of 2017 were recorded more cases of measles than in all the previous year. According to the figures provided by the Robert Koch Institut in Berlin, and this year we are already sick of 400 people against the 325 cases, a total of 2016. The year in which the vaccination anti-measles decreased 18%. A situation does not go unnoticed so much so that ten days ago, Italy was included by the Usa in the list of Countries “at risk” for those americans who intend to travel abroad, precisely because of the outbreaks of measles that are up this year in our Country. From the month of January 2017, reports the Ministry of Health, the number of cases of measles has tripled: of the 844 cases of infection reported in 2016, from the beginning of the year have already been registered more than 700 cases, an increase compared to the same period of the previous year, in which there had been 220 cases, of more than 230%. The majority of cases, have been reported in only four Regions (Lazio, Lombardy, Piedmont, Tuscany) and more than half fall in the age group between 15 and 39 years. The measles (from the Latin morbus, infectious disease esentemica highly contagious disease caused by the virus Paramyxovirus) causes complications in about 30% of the cases that can lead, among other things, pneumonia, blindness and brain inflammation. According to the Children's Fund of the United Nations, the virus “kills every year approximately 132mila children: 15 per hour, every hour of every day of the year“. “If the vaccination coverage in Italy were to continue to decline continues, Iacomini – there is a real risk of return to see in our Country, scenes that we were hoping to be cast out for ever, and the families who mourn the loss of a child for the fault of a disease that could be avoided with a simple vaccine free of charge. The measles, let us remember, is not a trivial cold. There is no specific medicine to combat it, and in the younger children, and with immune system more fragile and can have complications-lethal”, he stresses. “It would indeed be tragic if, after having fought without respite to drastically reduce the effects of measles anywhere in the world, we see that for prejudice and ignorance we have left to re-enter this virus in our homes. We are in favour of any measure that the ministry of Health will undertake to protect the children in Italy by this renewed threat,” concludes Iacomini. Between 2000 and 2015, the vaccine of measles saved the life of 20.3 million people. But the problem is not with just this disease. Of the 10.7 million infants born each year in the continent, approximately 650,000 do not receive the full series of three doses of vaccine against diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis in the first year. “The benefits of vaccines are a fact, not an opinion” reaffirm the Eu and the Who pointing out that vaccines have saved more lives of children than any other medical intervention”.",3,"italy"

About 400 children die of measles every day. Also the children healthy and well nourished, if not vaccinated, are at risk of getting sick and have serious complications to health such as pneumonia, diarrhea and encephalitis. And’ what emerges from the report jointly launched by UNICEF, WHO, CDC and GAVI. According to UNICEF, the World Health Organization, the Global Alliance for Vaccinations – GAVI and the Centre for the Control and Prevention of Diseases (CDC), the campaigns for the mass vaccination against measles and the increase in the overall level of routine vaccinations against measles, between 2000 and 2015, have saved the lives of 20.3 million young people. At the global level, however, progress has not been homogeneous. In 2015, approximately 20 million children were not vaccinated against measles and approximately 134.000 are the children dead because of the disease. 75% of the deaths caused by measles occur in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, India, Indonesia, Nigeria, and Pakistan. In these Countries half of all children are not vaccinated against the measles. “Continue to make progress in the fight against measles is not a mission impossible,” said Robin Nandy, head of UNICEF for Vaccinations. “We have the tools and knowledge to do so",3,"italy"

""We evaluated for the first time, the legal aspects and social of a lack of vaccinations,"" explains professor Montecucco, ""there is also a civil liability. Who pays for the damages caused to the community by the decisions of the individual?"". This, according to the researchers, ""to keep the focus on what is a community problem"". The study investigates the types of vaccines and their effectiveness. ""Polio,"" write the professors, ""has been eradicated thanks to the vaccine, as the smallpox. But the important thing is that the guard is not lowered. Below the 95 percent vaccinated, the coverage is not more secure."" Vaccines are not drugs, but prevention instruments. As the belt drive, or an insurance policy. Vaccines, they add, ""are compounds from pathogens or inactivated attenuated that they do not cause any side effects. They are therefore ""safe"".

The vaccines required are 9, plus the one for chickenpox, starting from 2017: polio, diphtheria, tetanus, hepatitis B, pertussis, flu, Hb, measles, rubella, mumps, and chicken pox. Finally, an analysis of ""sociological"". ""The refusal to be vaccinated,"" continues the study, ""derives in part from the loss of historical memory. Don't remember the devastating effects of certain illnesses thanks to the introduction of vaccines are now practically disappeared"".There is also the principle of the one is one.""There are those who believe, write the professors, ""that a smattering of scientific botched on wikipedia and the blog can replace a long and arduous path of scientific study.

Before the years ‘80, recalled Marian, we are sick with the measles, and those who overcame the acute phase of the disease developed antibodies that were defending for the whole life. From the ’90s by the advent of the trivalent vaccine (measles-German measles-mumps), the disease was almost eradicated, but in recent years due to the non-obligatory nature of vaccination, and the lack of social awareness in parents, the vaccination coverage in the population has fallen below the threshold of 95%",3,"italy"

Between these two cases, the other six patients, four juveniles and two adults have contracted the virus. Among at least seven of the eight cases there would be a link. The internal investigation launched by the health department of the hospital is going forward rapidly, in order to reconstruct the chain of infections, some of which may have occurred prior to the hospitalizations, and others might be generated from the contact in the department of the hospital by a little girl, the daughter of parents no-vax. The transparency “it should Be remembered that every case of measles, "" explains Galli is potentially capable of causing 16-18 secondary cases. It is therefore absolutely unacceptable that a health care worker is not protected and therefore does not protect its clients, avoiding to contribute to the spread of infection”. The median age of the health workers affected by measles, 35 years old, and the median age of cases of measles reported in Italy this year, 25 years, reveals how at risk of contracting this disease are adults not vaccinated or not you are infected in childhood.

"7112","Measles alert Unicef: more than 700 cases in 2017 Measles, is alert Unicef: new data released by the ministry of Health on this infectious disease are of concern, and “they do that to confirm the seriousness of the alarm raised several times in these past years.” This was underlined by Andrea Iacomini, spokesman for Unicef in Italy. “Measles is coming back to threaten the health and lives of our children,” he said, “in the world, the virus kills every year approximately 132mila children: 15 per hour, every hour of every day of the year”. In Italy, in the early months of 2017 have already been reported more than 700 cases, while a year ago in the same period, cases were only 220. This means that there has been an increase of about 230 percent. The reported cases relate mainly to Piedmont, Lombardy, Lazio and Tuscany. Iacomini has also highlighted how it is crucial to not let your guard down and make the vaccine: “If the vaccination coverage will continue to decrease, there is a real risk of return to see in our country, scenes that we were hoping to be cast out for ever, and the families who mourn the loss of a child for the fault of a disease that could be avoided with a simple vaccine free of charge. The measles, let us remember, is not a trivial cold.” It is necessary therefore to protect the children, because “there is no specific medicine to combat it, and in the younger children, and with immune system more fragile and can have complications-lethal”. Measles: what is it and what are the symptoms of Measles, what are the symptoms: measles is an infectious disease caused by a virus of the genus morbillivirus, in the family of the Paramixovidae. It is a very contagious condition that is transmitted only in man and mainly affects children between 1 and 3 years. For this reason, as well as rubella, chickenpox, whooping cough, and mumps, is called ‘an infantile disorder”. When affected by the virus and the sick are isolated in the contagious period. The symptoms of measles are not particularly serious: the most dramatic manifestation of the disease consists of an eruption of the skin similar to those of measles or scarlet fever, characterized by reddish spots on the whole body. The disease, which has an incubation period of about 10 days, has a duration that varies from 10 to 20 days. Measles, if contracted once in your life you become immune permanently, then we will become ill more. The first symptoms of measles are those similar to the cold – conjunctivitis, dry cough, and runny nose – accompanied by fever is rather high. Immediately after its appearance the rash of above: white dots inside of mouth and after 3-4 days of small red dots live first behind the ears and on the face, and then over the rest of the body. This rash lasts 4-7 days, then gradually disappeared. It may happen that persists for a few days on the skin with a slight desquamation. Measles is spread all over the world and in Countries with a temperate climate affects children in the periods ranging from late winter to spring. In Italy there is the obligation to notify the disease to the health authorities. Measles is not a disease-trivial and can sometimes even be fatal as it causes the decline of the immune system and the involvement of the respiratory system. Alarm Measles in Italy: the importance of vaccination In Italy, the vaccine against measles is not compulsory, except for the recruits at the time of enlistment, but is nevertheless recommended by the health authorities. The vaccine in question exists in the form of a complex vaccine against measles, mumps and rubella (Mpr). The doctors advise the administration to infants of a first dose of Mmr before 24 months of life, preferably 12-15° month, with the next call to 5-6 years or 11-12 years. Up to 6°-9° month of the infant may be protected by antibodies, if the mother is immunized. The duration of immunization of the infant is shorter if, however, the mother has been immunized by a vaccine and not the measles itself. It may not be applied to the vaccination of individuals with immune deficiency or under immunosuppressive therapy (corticoids, antineoplastic, anti-rejection), nor, as a precaution, women who are pregnant or want to be in the next month. Instead, it is recommended for Hiv-infected people who have not yet developed Aids.",3,"italy"

"7118","ROME – “it is Now clear that the summer has not stopped the measles. With the 86 new complaints in the first week of August, the reported cases from the beginning of the year have reached $ 4.087. Three of the dead. 89% of the cases occurred in unvaccinated persons, and another 6% had received only one dose of the vaccine. The average age of those affected by the disease is 27 years. Well 277 cases were reported among health care workers”. So reads a Press release of the SIMIT, Italian Society of Infectious and Tropical Diseases. “It's a situation that puts us in first place in Europe in 2017 and on the number of cases of measles, and in the embarrassing condition of seeing the CDC of Atlanta, the state agency for the control of diseases in USA, recommend it to anyone planning a trip to Italy, be sure to be vaccinated or to have recourse to vaccination,” stresses Prof. Massimo Galli, Professor of Infectious Diseases at the University of Milan and Vice President of SIMIT, Italian Society of Infectious and Tropical Diseases. “An emergency - he adds - due to the progressive reduction in the percentage of vaccinated and that requires major surgery, the first of which was the recent decree that reintroduces the mandatory vaccination for measles,mumps and rubella (MMR). It is possible, however, that we desire of the other. 56% of the cases this year involved people aged between 15 and 39 years”. In Rimini, during the first edition of the Meeting Health for all within of the 38th Meeting between the nations (Monday, August 21, 2017 19:00 pm Neri Room), between the meetings, the inaugural report of an encounter on the topic of vaccines with a discussion of the prospects of vaccinations in the NHS in which they participate together with Prof. Massimo Galli, Vice Chairman of SIMIT (Italian Society of Infectious and Tropical Diseases), Ranieri Guerra, Director General of the Directorate of Health Prevention, Ministry of Health, Roberto Bernabei, President of the Association Italia-Lived Walter Ricciardi, The president of the Institute of Health, and Luigi Cammi, the creator of the Meeting Health and A. d. of PLS Educational. A recent study by researchers at the Bocconi University, in course of publication in the Lancet Infectious Diseases estimate to the people of this age group susceptible to infection (i.e. who have not contracted the measles as children and have not been vaccinated) in about three million, the 5% of the Italian population. Commenting on the article, an editorialist for the Lancet suggests that, in a country with a low birth rate and with many adults likely to stop the spread of the infection may not be enough to vaccinate the children and that the vaccine may have to be offered to the adults also. In spite of the emergency,the anti-MMR remains, unfortunately, between all the vaccinations, the more irrationally unpopular. Starting from the spread ‘viral’ on the web of false data about the relationship with the autism, which proved to be non-existent, the anti-MMR has become a favorite target of the antivaccinatori and ‘hesitant’. An interesting study by the University of Pisa, recently published, highlights a relationship between the reduction of the vaccination coverage for MMR in the period 2010-2015, and the increase in online search activity and social network on the topic of “autism and MMR vaccine”. In another study, recently published, to be implemented in Friuli-Venezia Giulia and in Emilia, has considered the data for more than 220 thousand children, around 2% of them had not received any vaccination, and 11% of which had not been vaccinated for MMR. The number of infants not vaccinated is a result increase in time. At greater risk of not being vaccinated are the children of women with more than 35 or less than 25 years old, unmarried, with a higher education, and city of the economically developed countries (mainly Italian). In the region Friuli-Venezia Giulia, which has contributed to the study with the data of over 145mila children, born between 1995 and 2000, they ran a greater risk of not being vaccinated if the children of foreign mothers, and with low levels of education, while the situation is reversed for those born between 2006 and 2010, years in which to be more at risk of non-vaccination were the sons of Italian with high levels of formal education. Data that emphasize strongly the need, already previously proposed by SIMIT, campaigns of health education and information that promote the understanding of the importance of vaccines and their proper intake. “If the vaccination MMR is today, the problem is more pressing, in the field, vaccination is not the only. One of the sectors of the population where the vaccination plan is the most neglected and the most needed,” concludes Galli – “is represented by the bearers of chronic diseases in which vaccinations such as anti-influenza and anti-pneumococcal can be an important tool to ensure a longer expectancy of life free from disease”.

Report of the ECDC on infectious diseases in the Eu, 15 NOV Other health threats of european origin and Threats from non-Eu - The CDTR (Comunicable Disease Threats Report) of the ECDC is a bulletin for epidemiologists and health professionals about the threats to public health active. This number covers the period from 5 to 11 November 2018.seeing that it is the specific week and includes updates on respiratory syndrome in Middle East coronavirus respiratory syndrome middle east (MERS-CoV), measles, influenza, influenza A (H5N6), west Nile virus disease, Ebola virus, dengue and malaria.The burden of infections due to antibiotic-resistant bacteria is comparable to that of influenza, tuberculosis, and HIV/AIDS combined, according to a study published this week in The Lancet Infectious Disease estimates are based on The data of 2015 of antimicrobial resistance the european Surveillance Network (EARS-Net) indicates that about 33000 people die each year as a direct result of an infection due to bacteria resistant to antibiotics.. for A given increase in comparison with 2007 and is of concern because these antibiotics are considered the latest treatment options available. When it ceases to be effective, it will be extremely difficult or, in many cases, impossible to cure infections.The study was developed by the experts of the ECDC, and of the Burden of AMR Collaborative Group. The results are used by the Organization for economic cooperation and development (OECD) to estimate the economic burden of antibiotic resistance.of which 63,5% ( 426.277 of 671.689) were healthcare-associated.(Disability-Adjusted Lost Years: a measure of the overall impact of a disease that takes into account both disability and early death). The burden for the Eu and the Eea was the highest in infants (under 1 year) and in people aged 65 years and over, had increased from 2007, and was higher in Italy and Greece.The results present the load of the health of the five types of infection with antibiotic-resistant bacteria expressed, for the first time, in DALY. The estimated load of infections with antibiotic-resistant bacteria in the Eu and in the Eea is substantial compared to that of other infectious diseases and has increased since 2007.By August 2018, the health authorities in the Greek have reported several cases of malaria non-falciparum acquired locally, in the regions of Evros and central Macedonia.During the season of transmission of the West Nile virus (expected between June and November 2018), Ecdc monitors the occurrence of infections in the member States of the Eu/Eea and neighbouring countries with the Eu, and publishes epidemiological updates to inform the authorities for blood safety of areas in which ongoing transmission of the virus.The start dates of the most recent are from the week 43, 22 - 28 October. This week, the neighbouring countries with the Eu have not reported cases. All human cases have been reported from areas that were affected during the previous seasons of transmission.

So far this season, influenza viruses were detected sporadically in samples from people with respiratory disease who presented to medical care. Have been detected in viruses of type A and B influenza.The animal influenza viruses that transmit to humans are considered new and, therefore, have the potential to become threats pandemic.

"7128","Even today, measles kills in Italy. This infectious disease caused by a virus, in reality, should have been eradicated, but there are those who do not vaccinate. In this way exposes themselves and others to danger. The disease is very contagious and mainly affects children, but extending to adolescents and adults. More than half of the cases occurs in the age group 15-39 years. It is spread all over the world, we is most striking between the end of winter and the spring. Measles Is transmitted by respiratory route through coughing and sneezing, and through nasal secretions. The virus can remain active and contagious in the air or on the surfaces of the infected also two hours. Who is infected is contagious from four days before the appearance of the typical red spots for up to four days after. The incubation period lasts 10-12 days. The course of the disease is between 10 and 20 days. Once the contract, you are immune against measles, in theory, for life. In Italy there is the obligation to notify the disease to the health authorities. Measles kills in Italy: how to recognize The symptom more typical is the rash. The first of the characteristic red spots usually appears with a strong, cold, conjunctivitis, fever, more and more high. Possible complications are diarrhea, ear infection, pneumonia. Occur in 20-30% of cases. There are also complications much less frequent, but dangerous. One of these is encephalitis, a process of inflammation of the brain. Fatal in 10% of cases, and can leave permanent neurological damage. Finally, there is a complication more rare which can occur even years after the infection with the measles virus. This is the panencefalite sclerosing subacute (PESS), a progressive disease of the brain from the devastating effects. The virus leaves in the immune system of children hangovers that last up to three years from the end of the disease. So leaves them vulnerable to a series of infections even more serious. Measles kills in Italy: that's why you should get vaccinated Before the large-scale introduction of the vaccine, deaths from measles were over 2 and a half million a year. Between 2000 and 2015, around the world, deaths caused by the virus have declined by 80%. The majority of deaths from this disease occurs in children. The most affected are the children of african and asian poor. Either because the children are malnourished and because the health facilities are deficient. And so are not able to treat by appropriate means the dehydration caused by diarrhea or pneumonia. But measles is still dying even in industrialized countries like Italy. The measles vaccine has existed for over half a century. It is a live attenuated vaccine. In fact, it contains the micro-organism in such a way as to develop the immune response but not produce the disease. He was created a first version in 1963 and improved in 1968. In 1971, it was formulated a mix that combines in a single product, immunization against measles, mumps and rubella. It is a trivalent vaccine MPR. In Italy is available from 1976, while from the beginning of the ’90s is available the formulation MPR. From its introduction to today, there have been administered across the world over a billion doses. The vaccine for measles is not compulsory To today, there are no specific obligations of vaccination but is recommended by health authorities. The first dose is usually administered between 12 and 15 months of life. This is because even to the ninth month of life the infant is protected by antibodies of the mother if she had had the measles, or, for a shorter period of time, if it is the vaccinated, with a booster at 5-6 years. Also to the young people and adults who have not had the disease to be small, it is recommended the vaccination in two doses at a distance of at least four weeks apart. Eight out of ten children do not have any side effect from the vaccination. In the remaining 20% of cases, there may be some effects. They occur typically between 5 and 12 days after, at the stage in which the attenuated virus replicates in the organism, and especially after the first dose. The most common is a local reaction with redness, itching or swelling in the area of the injection, fever (one case out of six), mild rash that resembles that of measles (in a person in 20), a swelling of the lymph nodes of the throat and neck (one in 75). In a case out of 3 thousand, the baby can have seizures, fever, that does not leave consequences. In two to four cases per 100 thousand vaccinated can cause thrombocytopenia. It is an alteration of the coagulation of the blood, which can cause bleeding. Are usually not serious, but we must act immediately to deal with it. The shock anaphylactic, may occur as with other vaccines and about one case per million vaccinated. Encephalitis Is the complication most feared after the measles. Given that the virus natural cause encephalitis, there is a biological plausibility that could do it also attenuated vaccine. This possibility is not, however, never been confirmed in concrete cases. You tend to believe that even in the very rare cases in which encephalitis has occurred after the vaccine, the person was, in fact, already infected by the virus natural. It should be remembered that encephalitis from measles is a very real risk and very real. Instead, the vaccine is a risk only hypothetical, never verified, and which would in the worst case less than a case on a million. Measles vaccine: no link with autism, The studies found no link between the trivalent vaccine and risk of autism. The story of the alleged link was born in the Nineties. The English physician Andrew Wakefield claimed in a study published in the journal The Lancet that the vaccine could cause an inflammation of the intestinal wall and help to put into circulation substances toxic to the brain. The study was denied. The same magazine has now retracted after it was proven that the data had been falsified. In fact, Wakefield has been terminated by the Order of the doctors.

Data that did raise the alarm for a disease that can lead to complications very serious and even dramatic results. From many years is available a special vaccine able to ensure the effectiveness very high, especially if administered in childhood. The vaccination for San Marino is one of the nine mandatory and is administered to 15/or month of life with a booster in 10 years. And while Italy is experiencing a resurgence of the disease, with over a thousand cases, especially in some regions in the north and centre, in San Marino are not recorded at the time new cases, says the Iss, the Institute for social security. From the data provided by the Service Vaccinations from 1997 to 2017 have been 137 cases of measles registered in the Republic, the last dating back to 2012 and relating to an adult not vaccinated. The last 5 cases of measles in San Marino, in fact, are all related to people, adults or children not vaccinated or had not completed the cycle of vaccinations, including the booster after 10 years. Always on the basis of the data of the Service Vaccinations shows that before the law on compulsory vaccinations, 1985, were registered in 1984, well 481 cases, which decreased to 28 in 1985, 7 in 1986 when the same two-year period '85-'86, were performed more than 500 vaccinations.

Started the campaign extraordinary Ausl Romagna, in a call for young people and adults for vaccination against measles. Still, in fact, to occur cases of measles in the territory of the province of Rimini, where from December, an ongoing outbreak that, to date, has involved 36 people. Also in Ravenna since the beginning of the year were recorded 8 cases of the disease, apparently not related, nor between them nor to the outbreak of rimini. Public health interventions made in a timely way in the field in Rimini for the containment of the outbreak have been limited in their effectiveness, due to the low adhesion of the contacts to be susceptible to measures of prophylaxis vaccination post-exposure, because of beliefs contrary to vaccination (so-called no-vax), a factor that has led over the years to create large pockets of the population that is not protected for this disease. In order to increase the number of vaccinated people in the whole of Romagna, the local health authority initiated a campaign of active call to vaccination in adults that, if not already vaccinated and if not immunized in any other way, will be allowed to visit at the outpatient clinic, local health boards of the various territories to be vaccinated free of charge. The policies of recovery of the vaccine put in place following the regional law of Emilia Romagna and the decree Lorenzin, have involved children of school age and health care workers, significantly increasing the coverage rates for these target, but leaving substantially unchanged the low coverage rates of young adults. In Italy, in fact, the vaccine antimorbillo is available from 1976, and only since the ’90s, the percentages of coverage have begun to be more significant than protecting children. Here, the campaign, extraordinary vaccination antimorbillosa geared to adults. In areas of Forli, Cesena and Ravenna, the Services are sending a letter of invitation to the people born between 1980 and 1989 (starting from the born in 1989) for which it is not in the register of the vaccination, any dose of vaccination antimorbillosa. The letter will contain an illustration of the disease and its complications and the advantages of individual and collective vaccination, as well as, of course, the practical directions for access by reservation Cup. Have so far been sent 650 letters of invitation (250 to Ravenna, and, 200 in Forli, 200 Cesena). In consideration of the characteristics of an outbreak is still active, in the province of Rimini, the measures are slightly different, and more spacious. The outbreak affects mainly individuals between 17 and 20 years, for which invitations will look primarily to these age groups. The Pediatrics Community, in addition to the invitations already sent to you in accordance with recent laws, is sending letters of invitation to all the children not vaccinated, and those who, being included in the age of the obligation, were repeatedly invited but are still defaulting, is for boys between 16 and 18 years of age, that are released from the obligation of vaccination, for a total of 3663 invitation letters two-thirds of which has already been shipped. These letters provide information about the illness and the vaccine, and we invite families to contact the clinics vaccine for children of the Community during normal business hours, without the need of booking. The Service of Public Hygiene, which takes care of the adults, has already sent the first 1700 letters to people with the age above 18 years, starting from those born in 2001. These letters contain an illustration of the disease and instructions for access to the vaccination, that can be free, without appointment, every Wednesday from 9 am to 18 at the headquarters of Rimini in the Service of Public health Via Coriano, or, on days and different locations, on appointment via the booking CUP. The vaccination is free, it is trivalent, that is, protects against measles, mumps and rubella. It consists of two doses of vaccine inoculated intramuscularly, at a distance of at least 4 weeks from each other, and gives a high degree of protection and long-lasting in respect of the three diseases. The previous immunity, natural or vaccination, or for one or more of these diseases is not a contraindication to vaccination. It's worth remembering that measles is usually of course more serious in adults than in children, and the disease can be accompanied by complications such as ear infections, pneumonia, laryngo-trachea-bronchitis, and encephalitis. Even if very rarely(in 1 case per one hundred thousand), due to the infection morbillosa may develop several years after infection, a panencefalite sclerosing subacute as a result, late of the disease, with a time course very serious . “It is obvious highlights dr. Rafaella Angelini, director of the department of public Health of the Ausl Romagna – such as vaccination represents a fundamental defence for the protection of the individual and of the community. In the face of a very difficult situation, in particular in Romagna, so we decided to turn these special measures, with the aim of approaching, as far as possible to the threshold of the so-called ‘immunity, and of the flock’, thanks to which you can also protect those people who, suffering from some diseases, are not in a position to vaccinate and that, in this situation, are greatly at risk”.",3,"italy"

That's the conclusion of a study by researchers at the Erasmus MC in Rotterdam, who this week will be published in the journal Nature Communications. Measles weakens the immune system, leaving children, after recovery from measles are more susceptible to other infectious diseases. In this report, Erasmus MC. Measles is a highly contagious disease that is spread through the air. Global causes of the disease are every year more and more than 85,000 deaths. In Europe, there is an increasing number of mazelengevallen seen, mainly due to a decline of confidence in the safety and efficacy of vaccination. What is this, an important part of it is that people will have the disease for which it is inoculated, are less likely to see the seriousness of this disease, alone. It is, therefore, important for the disease process that the measles virus causes it to be easier to understand. Research conducted among non-vaccinated children are, In 2013, took place in the Netherlands, a large mazelenepidemie place, especially in the bevindelijk of the Dutch reformed community, and many of the children from the religious considerations, does not need to be vaccinated. Thanks to the generosity of these ongevaccineerde the children and their parents were, researchers from the Erasmus MC, is a unique study to assess the quality of the natural mazeleninfecties. The researchers have in these children's blood samples collected before, during, and after the experience of the center. In the samples collected during the acute phase of the disease, they were able to show that the measles virus in particular cells of the immune system to infect. The cells of the immune system to remain in the body after recovery from a previous infection. In the case of repeated exposure to the same disease, the immune system, these cells rapidly respond to, and the disease is nipped in the bud. The declining coverage rates, The research was carried out under the supervision of dr. Rik de Swart from the department of Viroscience of the Erasmus MC. In the Journal: “In the Netherlands, it is likely that you are due to measles die, but as the coverage continues to fall, it will have the disease in the Netherlands are more common. And mazelenpatiënten in the months and years that followed, other infectious diseases are taken in. Measles is not a harmless childhood illness, but it is a serious infection of the immune system and the respiratory system after the initial recovery of the immune system of the host, even in the long term, not a weakness. Through vaccination, we can be at risk from measles is reduced and the world is much to serious illness and death prevented.” By: Editors Of National Zorggids",3,"netherlands"

In each of the confirmed human cases had not been vaccinated against measles! Among patients is the annual girl. The oldest case is a 36-year-old man.

The measles how do you catch measles Viruses are spread in the simplest of ways: through coughing, sneezing, flow of hands. Threat maybe even conversation with an infected person. The sick child infects other 5 days before the rash appears and for the next 4-5 days after its occurrence. One patient can infect 15 to 20 people. Measles - symptoms Similar to flu. Already 3-4 days before ""how to hatch"" of the disease the child feels bad, has fever, cough or sore throat. He may also tease the eye pain, swelling of the conjunctiva and increased sensitivity to light. Large red spots appear first behind the ears, then gradually move on to the neck and mouth, and then on the trunk, arms and legs. Krostki do not pass within 3-5 days. After a few days the rash becomes brown, after which it starts flaking. Krostki disappear in the reverse order than it is, and no later than the ears. Usually 7-10 days after infection, the child is absolutely healthy. The rash of measles is very typical: initially gruboplamista, zlewająca live-red spots with small thickenings of irregular shape. Measles - treatment is Not a cure for this disease. However, you can ease its unpleasant symptoms. Will help, first of all, the drugs, antipyretics (e.g., Paracetamol, Apap, Nurofen), as well as cold compresses, cough syrups and giving your child large amounts of fluid. To make it easier for him to move, increased sensitivity to light, close the day window in my room and keep it strong light is just a indicator.

"8381","In addition to the doctoral dissertation and all the things that I've already posted about the measles in a number of scientific journals, I wanted to call attention to three articles published on it (with my coauthors) in scientific journals in the Vaccine, and the centers for disease control and Infection, in the years of 2015 and 2016. It is clear that something unusual was going on in regard to the immunity from the measles. Raised no objections (informed) decisions on the timetable for the vaccination against the measles, which are taken in the last few years, especially in the age of 1.Ordinary dose. In the articles it was exposed the concerns over the measles as a potential public health issue, and it was pointed out the paths to future solutions. Unfortunately, the epidemic appeared in the same time! I have published in the report on Medical of the Portuguese in a letter to the editor under the title, “When Judas had had measles”. The title was inspired by a song by Gaiteiros de Lisboa on the superstitions of popular if you to an infectious disease. Publications directed to the scientific community and health authorities, and not to the general public. I did not do it for fear of telling the truth, or to “create a panic”, but that it does not interfere with the strategies of communication with the general public, and the health authorities. In the meantime, it seems that the communication strategy of the Ministry of Health (MOH) is the hiding of data on the population and make it harder for them by doctors and scientists. I was very worried after reading an article published in a PUBLIC (online), 5 December 2018 at the latest (with the title: ""the Rates of vaccination against measles does not guarantee immunity in Lisbon and in the Algarve). The news item referred to the existence of pockets of non-vaccination,” and shows a map of the Uk as well as worrying in terms of immunisation against measles. But the DGS was not guaranteed in public that the vaccination coverage for measles in the Uk was very good, and there was no reason for alarm? With the news that she is a member of the staff of the co-ordination of the National Program of Vaccination (PNV) said that “the custody, he knew where they were, these pockets of non-vaccination, but it is the expert's preferred so you do not specify the data for the non-release of the situation...”. This is very strange. It is the blind, willful to the public and to the medical and scientific communities, the data is an important factor. The point of the panic is inexcusable. This is a situation in which the professionals and the population should be mobilized for preventive measures (in this case a vaccine). There is no have to panic. There is that, individually and in a group, in order to prevent problems in the future. There seems to emerge a pattern repeated in the (non -) disclosure of the data. That is similar to the strategy used on the data, vaccine coverage has been much-delayed, the delayed dissemination of the results of the Survey on Hiv, the National 2015-2016 - vaccine-Preventable Diseases” (NSI). The “outreach” he had aspects that was truly amazing-and bizarre. The formal public presentation was scheduled for the 10th of may in the year 2017, the National institutes of Health, a programme is published and is publicly accessible on the Internet. I have been asked to comment on the data that ISN't in the presentation, but I didn't get to have access to the same data. Suddenly, the outreach was cancelled, and then, after a hesitation of several, selected, to another, to the 31st day of October, in the year 2017. I was told that I had been “uninvited” “... a decision by a superior to decline to accept such an invitation”. Bizarre it certainly is not the best word to designate these things. It was also a matter of not throwing the panic attacks? Later on, I had huge difficulty getting the Internet to the results of that ISN't. When I finally read the report from the ISN, I have found that it shows an alarming decrease of the immunity of a group against its own reason for existing, is completely consistent with the items mentioned above. Does not see or resolve the threats to public health being “in a panic”, “closing your eyes” and keeping the “others "" in the dark”. The epidemic of measles there, regardless of the reading on the ISN't. In the same vein, I would also like to ask what is going on with the data on the efficacy of the vaccine in the epidemic that occurred in the Hospital de Santo António, in Oporto, and in the other outbreaks of the measles? Anyone who provides access to the data, and according to which criteria? With the transparent access to the data and to its analysis of the Portuguese scientific community, it would be greatly appreciated. To paraphrase a character in the movie And the Band Played On, we were supposed to be “fighting the virus”!

Working in close collaboration with the health authorities of all countries affected by Europe, our top priority is to control the outbreak, and to maintain a cover-up of the vaccination, the higher for all categories of the population”, said the official from the world health ORGANIZATION's press release quoted. Europe has made significant progress in the last couple of decades for the eradication of measles, and in 37 of the countries, the transmission of the epidemic is broken. However, there are some areas in which the immunization is very low, which allows for the virus, highly contagious, let it spread among those who are not vaccinated. The WHO recommends that every child neimunizat or incorrectly immunized should receive two doses of the vaccine. It also encourages adults who are not fully immunized, or who are unsure of their immune status to vaccinations. source: Digi24 – IMMEDIATE MEDIA Share this: Share Facebook Twitter ",3,"romania"

"57912","The outbreak of measles continues to plague the Usa. The vaccines are safe and save the lives of millions of children, thus preventing the deadly disease. The current outbreak of measles in the Usa was started in February of 2016. About 15,000 people have contracted the disease. According to the National Institute of Public Health, united states, died, 59 people, most of them children. Thirty-three of the children of the deceased have been more than a year ago. Seventeen of the children were between the ages of 1 and 3 years of age, and five of the children were between the ages of 4 and 17 years of age. Measles has killed four adults, between the ages of 27 and 39 years of age. How can he protect the population in the Usa, the World Health organization (WHO) recommends that the rate of vaccination coverage of at least 95%. In the Usa, it is 81%, far too low to provide adequate protection. You need to have two doses of the MMR vaccine in order to protect against the current epidemic and prevent future outbreaks. There is need for national awareness campaigns to educate parents about the benefits of vaccines. Parents need adequate information about the children's access to vaccination, particularly in communities where there are no doctors, and specialized centers for the vaccination. The vaccines are safe, the MMR Vaccine (measles, mumps, rubella) is the use of about 45 years of age. More than 500 million doses have been administered in more than 100 countries around the world. Between 2000 and 2015, and a vaccination against measles has prevented approximately 20.3 million of the deaths, the evidence that vaccination is one of the most cost effective investment in public health on a global scale. The diseases that can be prevented by vaccinations are serious and can lead to complications down the road, and right at the death. Vaccines prevent deadly diseases deadly Diseases can be prevented securely, and easily by vaccination. If the population is not vaccinated, return of diseases such as polio and measles, which were becoming more and more rare. At the global level, prior to the introduction of the vaccine against measles, more than 90% of the population contract the disease before the age of 10 years old. Frequently, measles can have serious consequences on the children who survive the disease, sometimes for a lifetime. The standards of hygiene, high cleaning and strict does not prevent the spread of the deadly disease. Vaccination is the only proven method that provides adequate protection. The actions of UNICEF for the cessation of the outbreak the current measles by UNICEF and the world health ORGANIZATION endorse the campaign carried out at present by the Ministry of Health, and focusing our efforts on the areas that are most vulnerable to the low rate of vaccination coverage in the country. In the month of July, we held an awareness campaign at the home of the vaccination in the three communities in the county, the County.

"52312","The measles virus destroys the memory of the immune system SINC Agency Saturday 02 November 2019 , 18:41h Cough, skin rashes and fever, even life-threatening complications, such as pneumonia and encephalitis, an inflammation of the brain, are effects of the measles virus, which in 2017 caused 110,000 deaths in all over the world, despite the fact that a vaccine is safe and economical. Two studies published in Science and Science Immunology emphasize once more not only the need for widespread vaccination to prevent this infection, but also to avoid the weakening of the immunity a collective <U+0096>the protection of a group thanks to a critical mass that is immune against other types of pathogens. ""This is the first time that used genomics to create a map of the immune system in response to measles. This allowed us to respond to how it causes this immunosuppression, and why the people suffer more infections until after five years of marriage,"" explains to Sinc Velislava Petrova, one of the authors. <U+0093>There is evidence that the measles, destroys the immune system,<U+0094> explain the authors. <U+0093>When the virus attacks, the antibodies disappear,<U+0094> The first work analyzes the immune system of 77 children in the Netherlands (between 4 and 17 years) who have not been vaccinated before and after infection with measles in an outbreak that swept through her community. The average time between collection of both samples was 10 weeks. The results reveal that the infection can paralyze immunity against viruses and bacteria to long-term, which would lead to an <U+0091>amnesia immune<U+0092> that would make individuals more vulnerable to future infections, including the virus with which it has already had contact with. So, even though the team had no problems to see the antibodies against the measles, the rest seemed to be disappearing. In fact, the antibodies that the children had accumulated throughout his life were markedly reduced. <U+0093>We have found strong evidence that the measles, destroys the immune system,<U+0094> explains Stephen Elledge, co-author of the work and researcher at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (USA). <U+0093>When this virus attacks, the antibodies disappear<U+0094>. The hypothesis that the virus erases the memory of the body of previous pathogens had already been supported in previous research, which associated the measles with up to 50 % of child deaths due to infectious diseases, but did not know how it was produced. In this study the authors observed that measles was eliminated, two months after infection, between 11 and 73% of the antibodies protectors of children, that is to say, the proteins in the blood that <U+0091>remember<U+0092> the previous encounters with the virus and help the body to avoid repeated infections. The measles eliminated, two months after infection, between 11 and 73% of the protective antibodies in children The researchers did the experiment in four macaque monkeys, this time collecting blood samples before and up to five months after infection. The monkeys lost, on average, between 40 and 60 % of the antibodies that protect them from other pathogens. However, there was observed decrease of antibodies in infants vaccinated against measles, mumps and rubella. According to the authors, although the reconstruction of the antibody repertoire is made possible through the re-exposure to the pathogen, this could take months or years, and could pose several health risks. <U+0093>The virus is much more harmful than we thought, so vaccinate your children<U+0094>, underlines Elledge. <U+0093>And if you have skipped the vaccine and have been infected with measles, may need to be revaccinated for diseases above<U+0094>. A immune system of the baby is immature For his part, the research published in Science Immunology explains why children often contract other infectious diseases after measles. The authors, from the Institute Wellcome trust Sanger United Kingdom, and the University of Amsterdam, confirmed that this virus eliminates part of the memory of the immune system, destroying prior immunity. In addition, the team demonstrated for the first time that the measles resets the human immune system and returns it to a state similar to that of a baby immature, with a limited ability to respond to new infections. To reach this conclusion, sequenced antibodies produced by B-lymphocytes <U+0096>one of the immune cells primary able to recognize and attack a virus<U+0096> in 26 non-vaccinated children before and about 40 days after infection in three schools of orthodox protestants in the Netherlands. When comparing the data, the researchers identified two points which drew attention on the immune suppression of measles: a replacement incomplete of the reserve of B-lymphocytes and an immunological memory compromised due to depletion of the clones of these cells. In some children, the effect was similar to receiving immunosuppressive drugs, potent. The reduction in the rates of vaccination causes a rise in cases of measles, which could also increase other dangerous infections <U+0093>This study is a direct demonstration in humans of the <U+0091>amnesia immune<U+0092>, in which the immune system forgets how to respond to the infections found earlier<U+0094>, tells SINC Velislava Petrova, who works at the british institution. <U+0093>It means that in some individuals the measles not only would our immunological memory, but that would limit our ability to build up a new immunity,<U+0094> he adds. In additional studies in ferrets, the scientists found that animals infected with measles already vaccinated against the flu became less immune to viruses and experienced more severe symptoms at the time of this secondary infection. The reduction in vaccination rates is leading to an increase in cases of measles, which could also lead to an increase of other dangerous infections such as influenza, diphtheria, or tuberculosis, even in people who were previously immune. This research has great implications for public health, because it demonstrates that measles vaccination not only protects against this virus, but also against other diseases. <U+0093>To keep the immunity is collective, the rate of vaccination in a country should be of at least 95%, as measles is very contagious. Parents should be aware that your choice on not to vaccinate their children may also have consequences for the health of other people<U+0094>, concludes Petrova.",3,"spain"

According to figures from the WHO, in the year 2015 there was 134.200 deaths from this disease all over the world. Fortunately, vaccination has reduced the global mortality in a 79 per cent between 2000 and 2015, which makes this vaccine one of the best investments in public health. That is why it has created a Strategic Plan for Global Measles and Rubella for the period 2012-2020. The target for the year 2020 is to achieve the elimination of measles and rubella in at least five WHO regions. Although this disease is rare in our environment thanks to the hedges vaccine achieved, from a few years ago we come to suffer from periodic outbreaks of the same, this happens when the coverage by vaccination low of the 95% recommended by the WHO. In these moments we are living in a striking increase of cases in Europe. In Spain, outbreaks happen since a few years ago. This year, in Catalonia have been confirmed 41 cases since January, being the first imported case.

The epicenter is in the state of Bolivar, with 82% of the confirmed cases. The most affected are children under five years, followed by the group of six to 15 years. “The spread of the virus to other geographic areas is explained, among other factors, by the large migratory movement of the population, generated by the formal and informal economy around the mining activity and trade,” said the epidemiological alert dated march 16. In Brazil, the second country with the most confirmed cases of measles this year, the outbreak is in the municipality of Boa Vista and Pacaraima, state of Roraima, on the border with Venezuela. “All confirmed cases were reported in the venezuelan citizens, who have not been vaccinated, whose ages range from nine months to 18 years of age,” said the OPS. “According to the laboratory analysis conducted by the Oswaldo Cruz Foundation (Fiocruz/RJ), the genotype identified in all confirmed cases is the D8. This genotype is identical to that identified in Venezuela to 2017”, he added. The genotype D8 was also identified in cases in Canada and the united States, all imported or linked to importation.

"53813","    Measles is a highly infectious viral illness, which can sometimes lead to serious complications.  Although it is now uncommon in the UK due to the effectiveness of vaccination, it can prove unpleasant if contracted.  Who can get measles?  The NHS notes, “Anyone can get measles if they have not been vaccinated or have not had it before, although it’s most common in young children.”  What are the symptoms of measles?  The initial symptoms of measles develop around 10 days after you’re infected, and can include:  cold-like symptoms, such as a runny nose, sneezing and a cough  sore, red eyes that may be sensitive to light  a high temperature (fever), which may reach around 40C (104F)  small greyish-white spots on the inside of the cheeks  A red-brown blotchy rash will then appear a few days later, and usually starts on the head or upper neck before spreading outwards to the rest of the body.  How long does the infection last?  Although unpleasant, measles usually passes in around seven to 10 days without causing any further problems.  Once you have had measles, your body then builds up resistance to the virus and it’s highly unlikely you’ll get it again.  However, in some people it can lead to serious and potentially life-threatening complications, which includes infections of the lungs (pneumonia) and brain (encephalitis).  When should I see a GP or take my child to see a GP?  The NHS explains that “you should contact a GP as soon as possible if you suspect that you or your child may have measles.  “It’s best to phone before your visit as your GP surgery may need to make arrangements to reduce the risk of spreading the infection to others.”  You should also see a GP if you have been in close contact with someone who has measles and have not:  been fully vaccinated with two doses of the MMR vaccine  had the infection before  You should do this even if you do not have any symptoms.  How can I prevent measles?  Measles can be prevented by having the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine, which is given in 2 doses as part of the NHS childhood vaccination programme.  The first dose is given when your child is around 13 months old, and a second dose is then given at 3 years and 4 months.  Adults and older children can also be vaccinated at any age if they have not been fully vaccinated before – ask your GP about having the vaccination.  If the MMR vaccine is not suitable for you, then a treatment called human normal immunoglobulin (HNIG) can be used if you’re at immediate risk of catching measles.

"54014","The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control ( ECDC ) has reported a high risk of measles in Europe, with cases being imported and exported between countries. Measles cases reported from EU/ EEA countries more than tripled in 2017 (to 14,600), compared with 2016, according to a recent rapid risk assessment published by the Centre [1,2].  This is largely due to lower MMR vaccine uptake in many European countries. Romania, Italy, Germany, Greece and France are all currently experiencing large measles outbreaks with fatalities.  Although the overall risk to the UK population is low, in England there have been 168 laboratory-confirmed measles cases this year. London, South East, West Midlands and the South West regions have reported the most cases. About half of the cases in England in 2018 have been in people over 15 years of age [3].

"59013","Measles cases rose by 300% in the first three months of 2019 and employers must remind staff, especially those working abroad with their families, about the importance of ensuring immunisations are up to date, urges The Health Insurance Group.  Global outbreak of measles  According to UNICEF, more than 20 million children worldwide miss out on the measles vaccination each year and this gap in protective coverage has triggered outbreaks from high-income countries in the Americas and Europe, to low- and middle-income countries in Asia and Africa.  The vast majority of European outbreaks occurred in Ukraine, but New York and the Philippines have also seen significant rises in the illness. Businesses must remind employees to check that they, and their dependants, are adequately protected from the virus. Current NHS standards are for MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccinations to be given at 13 months old, and between three and five years old – as a “booster” before school. But recommendations differ country to country, so it’s important that staff are on top of inoculations.  Measles is highly contagious and dangerous  Unlike a cold and other viral airborne illnesses, the measles virus remains in the air of the room for a further two hours once the infected person has left. This means that a high concentration of people in one room – such as a school classroom or office space – can be a breeding-ground for the virus. For employees working in a country where there has been a recent outbreak, or where rates of measles cases continue to rise, it’s particularly important to ensure they and their dependants have been vaccinated.  Measles is a particularly dangerous virus, as it destroys the body’s ‘immune memory’ – leaving it susceptible to other viruses. It can cause debilitating or fatal complications, including encephalitis (an infection that leads to swelling of the brain), severe diarrhoea and dehydration, pneumonia, ear infections and permanent vision loss. It’s important that businesses communicate the potential reality of measles, to address any misconceptions there may be around the virus.  Challenging anti-vax movement and complacency  Part of the explanation for the global outbreak of measles, particularly in wealthier countries, is an “anti-vax” movement. This relates to parents deciding against vaccinating their children for a variety of reasons, such as: fears the inoculation can cause autism; believing government recommendations for vaccinations are only so pharmaceutical companies can profit; and homeopathic remedies are just as effective. All statements of which have been widely discredited, globally, by the scientific community.  However, as the decision to vaccinate children or not can be a personal one, it’s important that businesses provide employees with the facts about measles jabs – by guiding them to reputable sites such as the NHS and WHO for accurate information. Such communications can also serve as an important reminder to parents, who may be unsure if they or their children are up to date with jabs, to seek medical advice swiftly.  Sarah Dennis, head of international for The Health Insurance Group said:  “The outbreak of measles globally serves to highlight how viruses that are commonly believed to be ‘under control’, or assigned to history, can reappear suddenly. For businesses that have employees working abroad, particularly those with families, it’s important to remind them of the importance of ensuring their measles jabs are up to date. “The same theory should be applied with other known viruses across different countries too. It’s important that employees regularly communicate health information related to staff working abroad, to ensure the best protection is in place. Outbreaks can occur quickly, yet communications within a country can be slow. So advising staff about the latest healthcare developments where they’re based, and what action can be taken, can help to ensure employees remain protected from outbreaks.”  Like this: Like Loading...

Full mumps, measles and rubella vaccination (MMR) figures - the only protection against the illness - are much lower in London than the rest of the country, with each borough's coverage at 75.7 per cent, 68.7 per cent and 67.2 per cent for 2017-2018 respectively.  The World Health Organisation recommends a coverage level of 95 per cent to ensure herd immunity, when there are enough immunised people to help prevent the spread of a disease, and therefore help protect people who can't be immunised.  The UK's average is at 87.2 per cent.  Warning to schools in West London  The cases come as PHE warned of a ""significant increase"" in cases in schools in central and west London, The Independent reported.  PHE wrote to educators in these boroughs warning them to be vigilant for the highly contagious infection.  Fulham Boys School, Chelsea Academy and St Marylebone Church of England School are where many of the new cases were found.  Full vaccination numbers for west London are lower than national average (Photo: George Frey/Getty Images)  Bigger issue within London  London has been a source of concern with increasing numbers of measles over the past year.  A measles outbreak in north-east London affected more than 300 people from October of last year to March this year.  Hackney and Haringey saw 322 cases between since the beginning of October, Public Health England told i. In early December, around 60 people had contracted the disease, but since then the number has risen significantly.  The cases mainly occurred among the area’s strictly Orthodox Jewish Charedi community, where vaccination rates have historically been low.  Between 2006-2013, the community experienced measles at a rate of 117 per 100,000.  Struggles to monitor vaccination  i previously explored London's low vaccination numbers finding that local councils are struggling to keep tabs on children.  A spokesperson for Westminster previously told i that while they were working on the figures, “as a central London local authority Westminster faces a particular combination of challenging problems with regards to vaccinations including very high population churn”.  Dr Yimmy Chow, consultant at Public Health England’s Health Protection Team, told i: “Protecting your children with two doses of the MMR vaccine is the best way to ensure they are not at risk of catching measles, mumps or rubella and preventing their spread to others who cannot be immunised such as newborn babies, pregnant women and those with weakened immune systems who are most vulnerable to infection. The first dose is usually given at one year of age, and the second at three years and four months, but it’s never too late to get immunised.  “Measles is highly infectious, with potentially serious consequences, particularly for infants, pregnant women and those with weakened immune systems. The MMR vaccine is safe and free.  “Measles spreads very easily amongst anyone who has not had two doses of MMR, particularly children, and this is why outbreaks can occur in communities where there are a large number of unimmunised individuals.",3,"uk"
"62813","Some 4.5million young people in Europe are at risk of catching measles because they have not been vaccinated against this highly infectious disease, research has shown.  An analysis of vaccination rates across countries in the European Union and European Economic Area shows that about four per cent of the people born in the region since 1999 are not fully protected against the disease.  The number is roughly equivalent to an entire birth cohort being completely unvaccinated, the European Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (ECDC) report warns.  However, the true figure is likely to be much higher because it does not include babies who are too young to be vaccinated.  The analysis adds to growing concerns over low vaccination rates with the number of measles cases on the rise around the world.",3,"uk"

Yet, with new figures showing that half a million children in the UK are not immunised against measles, cases rising four-fold in the last year, and a rapid spread across Europe and the US, this is, according to NHS chief Simon Stevens, a crisis in action.  Across the Atlantic, nearly 700 new cases of measles – a highly infectious disease often characterised by cold-like symptoms, a sensitivity to light and high fever that can, at its most severe, lead to pneumonia and brain infection – saw it reach a 25-year high this week.  A state of emergency has been declared in New York City, which accounts for more than half. Mandatory vaccination orders – with $1,000 fines and bans from schools and public places for those who resist – have been introduced.  “It’s becoming a public health threat,” disease specialist Dr Rabia Agha tells me from inside the sanitised walls of the Maimonides Medical Center, which has seen a number of recent cases come through its doors.",3,"uk"
"75214","Published on 16 August 2019  A University of Sunderland academic is warning about the dangers of social media anti-vaccination messages as Boris Johnson orders urgent action to protect children against measles.  The disease can be stopped through two doses of the MMR vaccine, but immunisation rates have been falling in the UK for a number of reasons.  The country has lost its measles-free status, three years after the virus was eliminated in the UK.  In the first quarter of 2019, there were 231 confirmed cases in the UK.  Dr Sophie Hodgetts, a Lecturer in Psychology at the University, believes that inaccurate and misleading anti-vaccination messages on social media could be one reason why inoculation rates are falling.  She said: “If you already think vaccines are bad, chances are you will only search out information that supports that view.  “This information can come from anywhere; Facebook is a good example, but also a lot of other social media and online forums. If you are searching for evidence then you will find a lot of content. That is part of the reason why this issue keeps coming back time and time again.”  Unicef's analysis shows that an estimated 169 million children around the world missed out on the first dose of the measles vaccine between 2010 and 2017 - an average of 21.1 million a year.  Now, Prime Minister Boris Johnson has announced that:  GPs are being asked to promote catch-up vaccinations for children who may have missed out on both doses  Social media companies are being urged to quash misleading anti-vaccine messages  The firms will be invited to a summit to explore how they can better promote accurate vaccination information  Dr Hodgetts said: “The fact that we are still talking about this issue is mind-boggling given that the research is pretty conclusive – that vaccines are safe.  “Whenever a celebrity comes out saying they are either for or against vaccines, the issue gets dragged up all over again. It is a very emotional issue and it plays on a lot of people’s concerns.”  Dr Sophie Hodgetts  Measles outbreaks in the UK  Many of the UK cases were acquired abroad with some onward spread in under-vaccinated communities.  Just 87% of UK children are receiving their second dose, which is below the 95% target for measles elimination.  The first dose of the MMR vaccine is offered to all one-year-olds. Children are given a second dose of MMR before they start school.  But estimates suggest that in England, one in seven five-year-olds has yet to be fully immunised.  Experts say the drop in uptake may be partly because of complacency - people perceiving the threat of infection as too low to matter. Anti-vaccination messaging on social media may also have a detrimental effect.",3,"uk"

The preliminary findings of an investigation into a spate of cases said that the introduction of the MMR vaccine in 1988 combined with improvements in measles control had contributed to doctors’ lack of knowledge. “In this outbreak, diagnostic delay occurred for some of the early cases due to lack of recognition,” the report said.  Researchers led by HSE officials said it had also led to a delay in isolating cases of the contagious disease and further transmission of measles in hospitals.

"4669","The Parliament voted for a mandatory vaccination for children in community facilities. Therefore, it must be shown for children in day-care centres, schools and day-care for children in the future, Vaccination. The Parliament has on Thursday, 14. In November 2019, a draft of the Federal government for a measles protection act (19/13452) accepted. For the submission of 459 MEPs voted in a roll-call vote. In contrast, 89 deputies voted, 105 abstained. The health Committee has presented a recommendation for a decision (19/15164). Immunization, vaccination costs, cosmetic surgery, The law also provides for the staff of community facilities, as well as medical personnel with a complete Vaccination. Children without measles vaccination may be excluded from attending a day nursery. Against parents in communal establishments children not vaccinated, may be imposed a fine in the amount of up to EUR 2,500. In the future also strengthened, voluntary series of vaccinations in schools to be possible. Also operating doctors to participate in vaccinations. The law also includes so-called non-specialist regulations. So get Insured, the victims of sexual abuse were entitled to assumption of costs for a confidential medical forensics on the body With such investigations, including, among other things, in the genital area, can be violations found.

In addition, advertising for the operational plastically and, to a surgical intervention (plastic surgery), which is directed exclusively or mainly at young people is prohibited. The comparative display of appearance before and after surgery prevented. Finally, it is introduced with the act, the repeat prescription. It aims to be Insured, the need for a continuous supply of a medicinal product. In the cases, the doctor may issue a regulation, which permits up to three times repeated charge. Consultation: experts see challenges In a hearing of Experts on the draft law had warned the Confederation of national associations of local authorities, the implementation of the law could be difficult. The Association said it was a significant effort, not calculated costs and possible conflicts with stakeholders, such as the impfunwilligen parents or employees of community facilities. It must be feared that the burden are the shoulders of the controls and consequences of the introduction of vaccination by the public health service (ÖGD), which had to be strengthened because of it. In the final debate, the speakers of the Opposition pointed out that the EGDS has been saved in the past, ""broken"". Applications of the Opposition be rejected, the German Bundestag has Rejected a request from the FDP, with the title ""vaccination rates effective infection diseases eradicated"" (19/14061). The request was rejected with the votes of the factions of the CDU/CSU, the SPD and the AfD against the votes of the groups of the FDP and Alliance 90/The Greens, with the abstention of the group of The Left. A third template of the group of Alliance 90/The Greens with the title ""measles and other infectious diseases, eliminate now – solidarity and reason, vaccination rates increase sustainably"" (19/9960) was rejected also promote with the majority of CDU/CSU and the SPD against the votes of the AfD, the FDP and the greens with the abstention of the Left. The votes a recommendation for a decision of the health Committee (19/15164) was based. In addition, the AfD group, submitted a resolution (19/15168) was rejected with the abstention of the Left, with the majority of the other factions. The group had requested that the vaccination rates are based on a secure scientific basis, and that, therefore, the previously published studies on the basic reproduction number for measles in independent scientific studies should be checked. In addition, no compulsion should be exercised to Vaccinate. Minister: measles are not harmless Federal Minister of health, Jens Spahn (CDU) reminded that measles are not harmless and not treatable. The disease could take a malignant progression to lung and brain inflammation. In the case of a vaccination the freedom of the Individual, it is also the responsibility of the Individual and the question of whether others would be at risk. The combination vaccine works against not only measles, but also against Mumps and rubella, according to Spahn, as an additional advantage. Multiple vaccines would also tend to be less side effects. In addition, there is ""no right to rubella"". In case of doubt, it is going to prevent further diseases. The goal is, as many infectious diseases to eradicate. It could be that these international objectives pursued would be, of all things, prevents this in Germany. The CDU/CSU sees an ethical obligation to Rudolf Henke (CDU/CSU) added that there is an ethical obligation to participate in the vaccination. Community protection is a highly important public Good. With the law, the prevention will be strengthened overall, particularly vulnerable people would be protected. This was an act of social solidarity. A forced vaccination of children Henke did not want to speak, a duty of proof. SPD: With systematic vaccination, the suffering, the speaker of the SPD to prevent also made it clear that, with the systematic vaccination against measles with a lot of suffering could be avoided. Bärbel Bas (SPD) said it had been in the past few years, severe outbreaks of this disease. In such cases, the affected schools and daycare centers would be completely locked. The aim of the Reform was to protect those who could not be vaccinated, such as babies. The vaccination booklet for teachers and educators is important to be able to protect all. Sabine Dittmar (SPD) defendant, would spread to the subject of measles completely false, pseudo scientific facts, to justify a deliberate infection medically. This would be irresponsible. AfD is against compulsory vaccination, The AfD sees in vaccinations is quite an effective remedy against diseases, however, a compulsory vaccination that it is neither useful nor appropriate. Detlev Spangenberg (AfD) said, Germany is well positioned, there is at least no need for action in the case of children who were primarily vaccinated Yes. Need for action there is more likely among adults and immigrants. State pressure was therefore unnecessary, because a large majority of the population, vaccinations see a positive effect. The result of a Impfzwangs, however, are resentment, frustration and rejection. Voluntary vaccinations were more useful. In addition, information and counselling should be strengthened and an electronic reminder system for upcoming vaccinations are introduced. FDP: vaccination no injury to Andrew Ullmann (FDP) is turned against the representations, the vaccination is bodily injury. ""A little prick?"" The question was rather, what was with the suffering, when the disease is erupting once more. It is not a harmless infection diseases. Vaccinations are effective, safe, prevented suffering and death. In particular, the most Vulnerable need to be protected against such diseases, including infants and the chronically Ill. In the past years, had been saved from the Public health service, now, therefore, the measles protection act is needed. However, the Reform burden, the staff in the institutions concerned with bureaucracy and ""cons bristly Impfgegnern"". Left in favour of vaccination campaigns and education from Dr. Gesine Lötzsch (The Left party), described himself as a ""convinced Impfbefürworterin"" and reminded of a successful public campaigns against child paralysis (Poliomyelitis) in the past. Those who refuse a vaccination, increasing the risk for other people, for example, the Elderly and the Sick. This is divisive and unacceptable. However, it would be covered by the amendment to serious abuses. The EGDS are not more had been saved a broken series of vaccinations as before were to be held today. The EGDS needed in terms of personnel and financially to be strengthened. In kindergartens, schools and nursing homes should be offered by the EGDS regular series of vaccinations. It is also useful vaccination campaigns in the workplace, and an electronic vaccination plan, as well as more education to be. Green, require comprehensive vaccination strategy Also Kordula Schulz-ash (Alliance 90/The Greens) called for a comprehensive vaccination strategy. Vaccinations against infections are living up to our social solidarity with infants, small children and the sick, for any infection life-threatening it could be. The recommendations of the experts should be followed. The Green party politician said: ""We can eradicate measles in the world, if we all work together."" The bill includes some sensible provisions, such as that all the Doctors could vaccinate all patients. A key issue will be taken up, the population between the ages of 20 and 50 years of age, was vaccinated of which less than half against measles. The gaps would have to be systematically closed. The draft law of the Federal government With a mandatory vaccination for children in community facilities to fight the Federal government, the measles is more effective. The draft law provides for a mandatory Vaccination against the highly contagious viral infection in day-care centres, schools and children day care . Prior to the inclusion in such community facilities, all children must demonstrate in the future that they have effectively been vaccinated against measles. Also, employees of such bodies, as well as medical staff, must have a complete Vaccination. The measles vaccination develops its full protective effect after two doses of the vaccine. Also in asylum seeker and refugee accommodation, the residents and staff measles vaccines to demonstrate. For people with medical contraindications, and people born before 1970, does not apply to the vaccination. Who had measles, you must also be immunized, because the body is then permanently protected against the measles virus. Children are already accommodated in a community facility and employees must provide the vaccination book by the end of July 2021. Children without measles vaccination may be excluded from attending a day nursery. The act is intended to 1. March enter into force in 2020. The draft law also stipulates that parents in communal establishments children not vaccinated, a fine in the amount of up to € 2,500 can be imposed. Even against day care centers, a fine can be issued if non-vaccinated children are being cared for. The same is true for non-vaccinated employees in community and health facilities, as well as asylum-seekers accommodation and for non-vaccinated residents of these properties. The health insurance companies are obliged to do so, with the Public health service (ÖGD) are agreements about the reimbursement of the costs incurred to meet. In order to be strengthened allows volunteers number of vaccinations in schools. The request of the FDP In the fight against infectious diseases, calls the FDP group, a systematic increase in the vaccination rates. The deputies, in their application for a digital Vaccination card, with the help of every citizen of his vaccination status, at any time, can retrieve. This Vaccination should remind the citizens automatically on necessary vaccinations. In particular, in the practices of the kids, house and wife doctors should also be given to the establishment of a professional Impfmanagements. There are also model projects should be made possible in the framework of which members of other healing professions, such as nurses, midwives or pharmacists, so-called killed vaccines is expected to to vaccinate. The Robert Koch Institute (RKI) should be established in addition, a digital Impfregister, - stated in the application, which grew from the pseudonym of primary data on all vaccinations food. This data could be through vaccination rates in a timely and widely available made. The request of the Greens group of the Greens campaigns for improved Vaccination against measles. In facilities of child day-care and in particular health facilities the children would be cared for, which had not yet reached the for the measles vaccines required to age or due to diseases are not vaccinated and could be stated in an application. It is therefore appropriate, if it is to be made for their protection, the vaccination of other children and the entire staff is a prerequisite for access to these facilities will. Among other things, the deputies are demanding that, before inclusion in a facility in which children are cared for, the vaccination status is checked. In the case of incomplete Vaccination, in particular in the Absence of the second measles vaccination, should need to be rescheduled as a prerequisite for the visit to the nursery, the lack of vaccination. Furthermore, it should be given in facilities of child day - care, schools, health care facilities and other facilities with infectious diseases, especially persons at risk staff, as quickly as possible a sufficient level of Vaccination to prove. The society for telematic applications of the healthcare card (gematik) should be obliged to do so, the digital certificate of vaccination until 2021 as part of the electronic patient file (ePA) to introduce.

"8581","Measles is back in the Uk. Learn the key questions and their respective responses associated with the disease. Measles was reported as extinct in the Uk by the World Health Organization, but it is now the Directorate-General for Health (DGS) speaking to a surge in the Uk. There are currently 11 cases of measles confirmed at the Instituto Ricardo Jorge, and the other 12 are still in the research phase. Since January of this year, have been reported in 23 of the cases, a figure that exceeds that of the past decade, according to data from the various reports of the DGS. In the few cases that were reported in the Uk in the last few years, they have been raised in other countries. As the spread of the measles? Measles is a disease that is viral and contagious. It is transmitted from person-to-person through saliva droplets in the suspension, so that it can be transmitted by talking, coughing, or sneezing. What are the symptoms? It begins with a high fever (between 39 and 40 degrees), cough, congestion, runny nose, sneezing, sore throat, inflamed eyes, and dry. The following are the eruptions on the skin, initially on the face and neck, then spreads to the trunk, arms, and legs. The marks shall be accompanied by itching and may be the largest in the course of a week. There may also be small white spots (Koplik's spots) in the mouth. Do I have to take my son to the doctor? There is no specific treatment for the measles. Generally, it is recommended bed rest, paracetamol for fever, bathing in luke-warm water and a cleanser on the basis of the calamine to ease the itchiness. Children under the age of three years old and fever greater than 39oC should be seen by a doctor. Measles can kill. The vast majority of cases, evolved positively, but in more serious situations, the clinical picture can progress to pneumonia or encephalitis, which can cause permanent injury to the brain or even lead to death. The disease is more severe in adults? In adults, the disease tends to be more severe. The older patients may require treatment in an inpatient hospital setting. During pregnancy, measles can increase the risk of miscarriage or premature birth. When should I get the vaccine? According to the National Program of Vaccination is in place, the children should get the first dose at 12 months of age and the second between five and six years of age and older. Do I need to vaccinate my child? The best way to prevent measles is through vaccination. The vaccine (VASPR) is free of charge, but is not obliged to do so. Only when an imminent risk to the health of the public is that the law provides that in order for the vaccination to be compulsory. In the case of a refusal, the parent will need to sign a waiver of responsibility, and this information is recorded in the form of a child. Why is it that there are parents who don't vaccinate their children? For fear that there may be risks associated with the administration of the vaccine, there are parents who choose not to vaccinate their children. The Directorate-General of Health published in order to reassure the parents, a book that debunks many common misconceptions associated with the vaccine. You can check it out here.

A new scientific study, published in Science, shows that the vaccine protects and a number of other equally dangerous diseases. It has been shown that after the introduction of the vaccine against measles, the child mortality rate from other infectious diseases fell by 80%, while the mortality from pneumonia fell by 50%. ""Amnesia"" of the immune system In the new study, scientists of the universities of Princeton and Emory have attempted to explain why, by studying epidemiological data from the 1940s and after. And they found that the measles destroys the antibodies of the organism, causing immune amnesia! As they explain, the measles not only causes weakening of the immune system for several weeks, but in addition, makes it ""forgets"" the antibodies it has created for other diseases. In fact, this ""amnesia"" lasts two to three years. For example, if a child stuck to the chicken pox the body creates antibodies against the disease and I'm not going to sew it back on in the future. If, however, the same kid stuck in the measles, the antibodies of chickenpox will be ""erased"" from the immune system and therefore will once again be vulnerable to the disease and its complications. In the same way, ""deleted"" and the defense mechanisms against other infectious diseases. In other words, after the measles, the immune system of the patients need to be rebuilt from the beginning!

In accordance with the resolution, the vaccination prevents about 2.5 million deaths a year worldwide, and reduces the cost of treatment associated with the disease, including antibiotic therapy. Meps note that there were 215.000 cases of vaccine-preventable diseases (VPD). Meps are in favour of the creation of a real and epistemological dialogue with the civil society, in order to combat the unreliable, misleading and non-scientific information about vaccination. Meps point out that the vaccines should continue to be strictly controlled in tests of multi-stage and reviewed regularly. Welcome the imminent launch of a joint action, which is co-financed by the European Union programme for health, for the increase in the number of people who have been vaccinated. However, meps call for greater transparency in the production and evaluation of vaccines and of the auxiliary the substances, in the financing of independent research programmes and to the potential side effects of vaccines, in order to restore confidence in the vaccination.

The vaccine is recommended to be done subcutaneously in two doses. With regard to children, the general directive is that it should be at the age of 12-15 months and 4-6 years. However, in cases of an outbreak or epidemic of measles, such as the current and in Greece, the instructions change: the vaccination of the child population should be made at the age of 12 months and then needs re-vaccination with the MMR at age 15 months. In addition, the vaccine should be do the teenagers probably have received only one dose, but all those who are born after the 1970's as that decade was released the vaccine and is likely to have been vaccinated with this or may not have been diagnosed with measles, so they don't have immunity. In Greece, the measles began to circulate in commerce in the early 1970s, he joined the National immunization program in 1981 and in 1989 was incorporated as a triple vaccine, measles-mumps-rubella (MMR). In 1991 was established the 2nd dose of MMR at the age of 11-12 years and since 1999 she is at the age of 4-6 years. The vaccine ensures long-term immunity and has been found that in children who were vaccinated at age 15 months, this amounts to a rate of 98%, while if you were vaccinated at the age of 12 months, the percentage is 95%. Most of the children who did not develop antibodies after the first dose, respond to the second dose, that 99% of vaccinated with two doses of children present antibody response indicative of immunity to measles. When it is not appropriate vaccination for measles, The administration of the vaccine should always be done in consultation with a doctor, a pediatrician, as long as it is for children or another doctor as long as it is for adults.

""The cases reported are imported, not to be cases of measles that originated in Greece"", states to ana-MPA, Maria Theodoridou, professor emerita of Pediatrics university of ATHENS, president of the National Committee on Vaccination and considers that the wording of the World Health Organization that, on the basis of the data for the 2018 ceases to consider Greece a country where the disease has been ""eliminated"", leading to ""erroneous impression that we have an epidemic in office , which is not the case as the epidemic is in decline"".

What is measles measles is a highly contagious disease. All the people ( children and adults) who are not vaccinated or have been doing only one dose of the vaccine can be infected if exposed to the virus. The virus is spread by droplets of respiratory system when a patient talks, coughs or sneezes. Approximately one in three patients with measles may give serious complications and need hospitalization. Complications are more frequent in young children, in adults, in immunocompromised individuals and pregnant women. The complications of measles are: otitis media, pneumonia, sinusitis, diarrhea, hepatitis, convulsions, encephalitis and permanent brain damage. In developed countries approximately one in 1000 patients with measles can result in death. There is no specific treatment for the disease. The best preventive measure is vaccination. RES",3,"greece"
"52114","""War"" has broken out in the schools in the country because of the many unvaccinated children, accompanied by the anguish of parents who have opted their children to make all the necessary vaccines which shall designate the National Committee of Vaccination.

That was also the reason that in Italy this school year, the vaccination of children enrolled and attending the classes in classes in kindergarten, in primary and secondary schools became mandatory by a decision of the government of Paulo <U+03A4><U+03B6><U+03B5><U+03BD><U+03C4><U+03B9><U+03BB><U+03CC><U+03BD><U+03B9>. The decision was taken after series of disagreements and public debates about whether vaccines should be mandatory by law and where it starts and where it ends the freedom of parents to those who don't want to vaccinate their children. The government <U+03A4><U+03B6><U+03B5><U+03BD><U+03C4><U+03B9><U+03BB><U+03CC><U+03BD><U+03B9> finally decided to return to the compulsory vaccination of students following the publication of data showing that the last period have risen in Italy, the cases of measles. What's going on in Australia Some australian states have already implemented laws prohibiting the import of unvaccinated children in kindergartens, but now the australian prime minister, Malcolm Turnbull calls for the measure to be applied at the national level. The doctors support this measure, noting that parents and society have an obligation to protect children. According to a survey of the Australian Child Health Poll, of almost 2,000 parents surveyed, 5% responded that their children are not fully vaccinated. Turnbull stressed that something needs to be done, citing the case of an infant who died from pertussis. ""This is not a theoretical exercise, it is a matter of life and death,"" said the Australian prime minister. ""If a parent says ""I will not vaccinate my child"" not only poses a risk to the child of his own, but all of the other"", he underlined. What is happening in Greece In Greece there is a law or a ministerial decision to enforce the vaccination of children. That on the contrary that there is a National Vaccination Programme which sets out the relevant National Committee of Vaccination and is offered free of charge in order to safeguard the public health. In the past the director of each school had to ask their parents the booklet health and if the children had not been vaccinated did not proceed to registration. This was an administrative penalty. However, because this was considered excessive as to deprive the right of children to education, in 2010 it was decided and established with the relevant circular, the parents who don't have vaccines for their children to have with them a certificate stating the medical reasons for which it does not have to proceed with the vaccination (e.x allergy etc.) This essentially was a loophole in order to appear the following facts, this Is a public conversation of parents at a forum where a mother wonders what to do if you don't write the kid at school because he has the measles. As you can see, this mother is informed that she can go to the pediatrician to write a ""false"" medical certificate indicating that the child has shown an allergy to previous vaccination.

It is noted that the first fatal case of measles before a month was an infant Roma who came from septicaemia. Children, teenagers, and young Roma are a group at high risk for the emergence and transmission of measles in our country, as is clear from the epidemiological data of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). ""The majority of cases relates mainly to Greek Roma, a fact that indicates the wide dispersion of the disease is in pockets of population with low vaccination coverage such as the Roma"" is highlighted in today's epidemiological report from the CDC. Of the 690 cases of measles have been recorded since last May until today, the 501 have occurred in the Roma aged 0 to 24 years old.

This is reflected as follows: in Greece the cases of 4 October amounted to 17, in Western Greece from 21 were 46 and in central Macedonia, of the 3 cases has shot up to 28.

The island country is one of the poorest in Africa, and in 2017, had been vaccinated only 58% of the population. In addition, because there has not been any outbreak of the disease since 2003, many young people have not developed immunity.

This means that it increases the risk for serious complications from measles, which can lead even to death. Last year alone it is estimated that measles claimed the lives of 136.000 people all over the world. According to o'brien, the main reason for the increasing outbreaks, although there are the “tools” to fight the measles, it is because the services fail to vaccinate all young children. On a global scale, the main reason is that “those who need it the most, I don't have access to the vaccine,” he stressed, underlining the increase in the number of fragile states, refugee and emergency health situations around the world. ""Children who are not vaccinated are the most poor, those living in the most marginalised communities, may be children of refugees or migrants,"" concluded o'brian.

""Every opportunity must be used in order to be vaccinated susceptible children, adolescents, and adults."" Measles is a very contagious disease that can kill and can cause blindness, deafness or brain damage. Can be prevented with two doses of an effective vaccine, but –partly due to the existence of pockets of non-vaccinated individuals– is currently spreading in many parts of the world including the United States, the Philippines and Thailand. In Europe, the majority of cases of measles up to now, in 2019, it was noted in Ukraine, where more than 25,000 people have been infected by the virus in the first two months of the year. There is no specific antiviral therapy for measles, and vaccination is the only way of prevention, said the WHO. Most cases have occurred in people who either were not vaccinated or were vaccinated inadequately. The WHO added that if the area had higher than ever estimated coverage for the second dose of the vaccine of measles in 2017 –about 90%– some countries had problems, such as decreasing or stagnant vaccination coverage in some cases, low coverage of certain marginal groups and gaps in vaccination in older people. The WHO called the national health authorities in the region to focus their efforts to ensure that all population groups have access to vaccines. ""The effect on public health will persist until the ongoing outbreaks brought under control,"" he said, adding that the health authorities should ""identify those who have missed the vaccine in the past, and to reach them with the vaccines they need"".

After the turn of the year has the interest of the free MMR vaccine been even greater. In 2019 and up to 12. march is a total of 6.439 adult persons registered in The Danish vaccination register with a MMR vaccine. Among these, almost half (48%) born in 1974 or earlier. The main target audience is people born from 1974-1986 ”We would therefore like to remind you that the main target group for MMR vaccination adults, persons born from 1974 to 1986, ” says afdelingslage Peter Henrik Andersen from SSI and continues: ”These fodselsargange will be grown up in a time where there was a less smittetryk with measles in Denmark, and not all the parents accepted the offer of one catch-up vaccination as the MMR vaccination programme was introduced in 1987.” ”In addition, the target group is adults persons born in 1986 and later, which have been covered by the programme, but which have not been vaccinated. If you were born before 1974, you can, however, be free vaccinated, if the doctor determines that you have the need for vaccination,” says Peter Henrik Andersen. Maslingeudbrud has increased vaccinationsaktiviteten According to the SSI to the increased vaccinationsaktivitet probably be seen in the context of the current minor outbreak of measles in Denmark, and the extensive media coverage there has been of the many maslingeudbrud in Europe in general. In 2019, there is until now been identified 10 cases of measles in Denmark. In January identified a case of measles, which had been on a visit in Romania . This case did not give rise to further infection in Denmark In the beginning of February 2019 was discovered a new outbreak of measles in Denmark. The infection was brought home with two adults, who had been on ski holidays in Val Thorens in France. In this outbreak, there are currently seven infected. This can be identified by the fact that all seven have got demonstrated exactly the same type of measles virus. A case of measles with a minor child in the Copenhagen area were identified in the beginning of the month of march . This case proved to be of a different type than udbrudstypen. So far have not shown the further infection. A small child from Roskildeomradet got detected measles in the middle of march. So far, it has not been possible to carry out typing of the virus. In addition, there have been several positive maslingeprover among persons who had been MMR vaccinated recently, typically 7-14 days earlier. It is known that the vaccine in approximately 10% can give fever and a rash, reminiscent of measles, but in mild form. There is no risk of infection from such vaccinereaktioner. Almost all of these cases have since also been shown to be due to a reaction to the MMR vaccine. As long as the circulating measles virus in Denmark, it is recommended the doctors to continue to submit samples for testing for measles at the relevant signs and symptoms, even though they are given the MMR vaccination in time (usually up to 2 weeks before, in rare cases up to 4 weeks).

The researchers found that weakened the antibody levels rose a few children, who were exposed to something new to a natural pathogen. The study involved also a group of children, which was followed before the measles vaccination and after. The results showed that the vaccine did not induce immunological memory loss. – These findings emphasize the measles vaccination the importance of natural measles infection prevention and other usual infections to reduce the risk of children, Knip said.

The risk of death and complications is particularly high in infants and in young children who are malnourished or whose immune system is weakened. Last year, measles has caused the death of around 136, 000 people in the world, according to WHO. The number of measles cases had decreased until 2016, said Katrina Kretsinger.

We recoil because we don't vaccinate ' children, noted Katherine O'brien.

The vaccine against the measles Since 1983, the MMR vaccine, which protects among other things the measles, is recommended for use in infants. All children are generally vaccinated against the disease, but if you're born before this date, you may have a doubt. The first thing to do is consult with her health book. No indication ? The doubt is then permitted. Of course, there is no requirement of vaccine for persons born before 2018. However, the minister of Health has asked the 14th of February last to all the French to do the necessary, on account of the epidemic now raging on the territory. In fact, this disease is fatal, and to contain it, it must be that 95 % of us are vaccinated. Surprisingly, it is possible to be immunized against measles. Studies have shown that, in individuals born before 1980, and thus before the introduction of vaccination, are immune. In the meantime, if you want to ens have more on the vaccine, be aware that it is a two-time. A first injection is carried out, followed by a reminder. It must be said that out of 100 people, only 80 will develop antibodies. This is why a reminder helps ensure the protection of all. In children, the first dose is given around 12 months, and the second between 16 and 18 months. It is necessary in all cases, respect an interval of a minimum of a month between the two. It is of course very rare to get sick despite the vaccine. However, according to a poll by Ipsos, published in October 2016, only 69 % of the respondents attest to trust the vaccination.

"3128","Measles : a disease not so benign measles is still present in France. This disease, which is often considered as benign, can be very serious. Why ? And how to eradicate it ? Why measles cases are increasing ? Every year, cases of measles are reported. But since a few months, they are more numerous. Between 1 November 2017 and mid-February 2018, 387 cases* were identified. ""In 2016, for example, there had been only a hundred cases. This is explained in particular by the fact that, over the past 30 years, 1.5 million people have not been vaccinated and have up to this day escaped the disease. Today, more than half of the measles cases are in adolescents over 15 years of age and young adults, "" says professor Daniel Floret, vice-president of the technical committee of vaccinations. To eliminate measles, 95 % of the population of the population must be immunized with two doses of vaccine. However, in 2015 90 % of children 2 years of age have received a dose, and only 78,8 % a second dose. *According to the ministry of Solidarity and Health. What are the symptoms of this disease ? It is manifested by fever and then a cough before the eruption of redness and pimples on the whole body. There is no specific treatment. ""Antibiotic treatment is justified in cases of bacterial infections in the lungs by example "", adds the Pr Daniel Floret. Why measles can be a serious disease ? This is not just a childhood disease. There may be complications or secondary infections such as ear infections, sore throat... The most serious complications are pneumonia and encephalitis (inflammation of the brain). They can be fatal or leave serious sequelae. ""Complications affecting also immunocompromised patients but also healthy people who are immune response abnormally to the virus,"" explains the Pr Daniel Floret. How to spread measles ? Measles is a viral disease that is spread through coughing and sneezing. ""It is the infectious disease most infectious. An infected person can infect between 15 and 20 people. It is 10 times more than the flu, "" said Pr Daniel Floret. The carriers of the virus can be transmitted 4 days before the rash appears and 4 days after. Who should get vaccinated ? Every child should be vaccinated with two doses, the first at 12 months and the second between 16 and 18 months. For those born on or after January 1, 2018, the measles vaccine is mandatory. ""Anyone born after 1980 should have received two doses. If this is not the case, it must be vaccinated. Before 1980, measles was circulating a lot. And according to studies of seroprevalence among persons born before that date, the proportion of those who do not have antibodies is low. This means that many have had or have been vaccinated. Practice a catch-up in this population is not a public health priority. But if, as an individual, the individual knows that it has not had measles or has not received a dose of vaccine, she can speak to his doctor, "" says the Pr Floret. The catch-up vaccine is required to protect yourself of course, but also to protect others (particularly young children who do not get vaccinated to one year and immunocompromised individuals). Also read : 11 mandatory vaccinations, what is it ? Since January 1, 2018, the children born from this date must be vaccinated against 11 serious infectious diseases. Why is it necessary two doses of the vaccine ? ""We know that 10 % of people do not respond to this initial dose. This is to catch those 10 % that one for a second dose, "" explains the Pr Floret. The two doses need to be injected at an interval of one month minimum. How this vaccine is it supported ? The two doses of the vaccine (combined with the vaccine against rubella and mumps) are supported 100% by health Insurance for children up to their 17-years of age. Note that the full support for the vaccine and not the act of injection. At the age of 18, the vaccine is reimbursed 65% by the health Insurance.

"4350","© istockphoto, LeventKonuk Who thinks measles is just a simple children's disease, you are wrong. Measles is a very contagious acute viral infection that is characterized by a disease of the upper respiratory tract, and typical skin changes. Measles is a serious disease, often with high fever, cough, runny nose, conjunctivitis of the eyes and possible complications by an inflammation of the brain (encephalitis), inflammation of the middle ear and inflammation of the lungs associated. In developing countries, measles is among the ten most common and most dangerous diseases. In Germany it came to 1996, for the first time in December 2001, again to a significant rise in measles-diseases. Measles: multi-stage disease, measles disease occurs in three stages. Approximately seven to 14 days after the infection it comes to flu-like symptoms with fever, cold and cough. Those Affected are often very sensitive to light and develop on the mucous membrane of the mouth, in the area of the rear molar teeth stains, which are circled in red. After two to three days, these spots go back. Overall, this Phase lasts about three to five days. In the second stage of the disease, a rash occurs, which is for measles typical. He begins in front of and below the ears, and then spreads irregularly over the whole body. The spots often have a small bubble in the middle, of the probably also the Name of the disease derives. ""Measles"" comes from the old Dutch term ""masele"" and means as much as whelk. After some time, the spots run into each other. This Phase of the disease is accompanied by an increase in the recurrence of high Fever. Typically, the rash lasts for three days. In this time, the disease is particularly contagious. During the subsequent recovery phase, the patients are susceptible for other diseases, because of the needs to recover the own immune system again. If the skin subsides rash that desquamates the skin. In this stage, the disease is no longer contagious. Little options for treatment of measles disease can only be treated symptomatically, which means the fever is lowered, cough and Cold symptoms can be relieved by tea and cool, humidified air. The patient must be isolated in order to avoid the risk of contagion to other, non-vaccinated persons. Most of the patients feel so ill that you are bed rest and rest all other activities. Because of the excessive sensitivity to light recommend, the room darken. Possible complications need to be treated, under certain circumstances, with antibiotics. In the case of a measles disease, a doctor should be consulted and the possible contagion to other members of the family be respected. High risk of Infection for measles measles can be transmitted through the so-called droplet infection, i.e. through Sneezes, Coughs or even germs in the air. Due to this mode of Transmission measles can be easily passed on. Although today sufficient vaccine is available, and in the Federal Republic of Germany, the costs of the measles vaccination from the health insurance company will underestimate the disease in this country still. Due to changed conditions in the population structure – the rise of the ""One-child families, for example,"" move many of the childhood diseases to adolescents and adults. Thus, the risk of serious complications such as brain increases, but at the same time inflammation of permanent damage or death. According to information from the Robert Koch Institute in Berlin, around 20 % of the brain disorders after measles to permanent damage. About 15 % of the Diseased die. A recent measles disease leaves lifelong immunity. Measles vaccine helps to experiences from the USA, the UK, or Finland show that measles can be pushed with a vaccination programme in full.

Without the vaccination book for children may not be enrolled in school, although on the other hand, education is compulsory. Parents who do not comply with the obligation to vaccinate, can be punished. It makes sense to a measles vaccination for adults who are not vaccinated or no measles disease have been through, all traveling in developing countries. Vaccination: as good as no side effects of The vaccine against measles contains attenuated, live pathogen. You can't trigger the disease, but the body stimulate it to form antibodies. In General, the vaccine is well tolerated. Occasionally, one to two weeks after vaccination mild measles symptoms do not occur, but they are contagious.

"4366","After fever, cough and runny nose the characteristic red skin rash follows. In the face of a re-clustering of measles cases in Germany a new debate on the introduction of a vaccination is begun. It is very concerned about the increase in infectious disease, said the Federal Ministry of health. The coalition government is considering a compulsory vaccination for children. These are the most important questions and answers. Measles infection in 2019 in Germany: How is this Virus transmitted? 2019 there were in Germany, so far, 170 measles-diseases, many Westphalia, in North Rhine-Westphalia. The number of cases varies greatly from year to year, sometimes there were several Thousand diseases. ""We don't come with the Elimination of so right ahead,"" said Susanne Glasmacher, spokeswoman for the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) in Berlin, where the reports from the States to run together. Outbreaks are not uncommon in large cities and Metropolitan areas. The extremely contagious measles, the end of the Virus is transmitted through droplets and has an easy game, where many people reside in a confined space. Why is measles so dangerous? When Infected, the immune system is weakened, it can lead to complications such as middle ear and lung inflammation. A causal therapy does not exist. It is not a harmless children's disease, stresses the glass-makers. ""We see 1000 Patients a death in the family."" Jacob mask, a Berlin spokesman for the professional Association of child and youth doctors, adds: ""In the case of infants, one of 300 sick children even die."" Sometimes the disease results only after years of death, such as in the measles-encephalitis SSPE - those who get it in infancy from measles, is particularly at risk. How prevalent are measles vaccination in children in Germany? According to RKI, all the länder in the school entrance examination, in the meantime, Coverage of at least 95 percent for the first vaccination against measles, Mumps and rubella. A need for improvement there, but in the case of the second vaccination, which aims to extend the Vaccination. It was a Problem that children were often vaccinated too late, says glass-maker. ""But the main problem are the young adults."" A vaccination think the RKI in front of this Background, currently ""is rather counterproductive and harmful"". How often you need to brush up on the measles vaccination? In the case of people who were born after 1970, often missing the second measles vaccination, because this was not provided for in their Childhood. Later on, you will not be rescheduled, often out of ignorance or sloppiness. Here, the Coverage is according to the RKI at only 30 percent. Infected adults can infect small children or infants that are not (yet) vaccinated. The Standing Committee on vaccination recommends to the 1970-born adults, a measles vaccination. There is also the case of Mumps and rubella often gaps, it is recommended to have a triple vaccine against measles, Mumps and rubella (MMR). Children are vaccinated for a complete protection in two stages with the MMR vaccine, even at the age of 11 to 14 months and one at the age of 15 to 23 months. Why do some parents their children against measles vaccinations? From the point of view of children's doctors false information is a reason for that. ""Many parents are confused by untruths on the Internet and in other media,"" says mask. After consultations by specialist doctors, the parents were reassured of the rule and had their children vaccinated, so controversial experience. ""But until that happens, it takes valuable time, in which the children are not protected."" What are the side effects of measles vaccination? At the time of measles vaccination is a live vaccination with attenuated viruses, such as the ""Federal centre for health education"" makes it clear. Rarely it comes to side effect such as redness or swelling at the injection site, swollen lymph nodes in the vicinity, or so-called ""vaccination measles"", which are associated with a rash and fever, but not infectious are. Why is there no vaccination against measles? The introduction is a question of political will, but also with complicated legal aspects attached to it. In preparation for the Bundestag of experts in 2016, wrote that a mandatory vaccination could be the only diseases with a high ""risk of a fatal course to the life or health of the children"" to prevail. In 1959, for example, a vaccination against smallpox as a Constitution has been determined in accordance with, in the face of a mortality rate of 30 percent. After the extinction of the obligation has been lifted. Since when is vaccinated against measles? The first vaccine was licensed in 1967 in Germany. In the GDR was introduced in 1970, a compulsory vaccination, the Federal Republic of the vaccination from 1974, recommended. Since 1991, a two-time vaccination for all children and young people up to 18 years of age. The current recommendation is to leave the first vaccination at the age of eleven to 14 months and the second vaccination in the second year of life to perform.

What are measles and what should consumers know about treatment and prevention, explains Dr. Wolfgang Reuter, a public health expert of the German health insurer DKV. What are the measles and how infection manifests itself? Measles is an acute infectious disease. Trigger the eponymous Virus is. ""It affects both the cells as well as the immune system of the body,"" said Dr. Wolfgang Reuter. Often Affected ancestors once nothing of the infection, because the symptoms after one and a half weeks. Measles is diseased, the patients complain then about head - and body aches, Nausea, fever, cough and sore throat. Typical bloated Bodies on the skin, especially on the face, as well as a reddish itchy rash. Also increased sensitivity to light is one of the symptoms. The expert warns that the massive weakening of the immune system, middle ear, lungs or even the brain inflammation of the skin can develop. Treatment options specific therapy for measles, there is not. In most cases, the Doctors bed rest, pain recommend medication for the headaches, and the extensive Drink against the cough and darkened against the light sensitivity. Pain-relieving creams and cooling lotions to help against the wind-like rash pox. Dr. Reuter advises but also to self-discipline: ""Sufferers should not scratch the itchy skin. Up scratched spots can scars or bacterial infections lead.“ In the normal case, the symptoms subside after five days of slow, stubborn diseases, but can take longer. Important: to avoid complications or a long course of the disease, should accompany a doctor to the patient. What time is it Kindergarten back to school or allowed to visit, can judge only of the medical professional. Prevention by vaccination? While it is possible to protect yourself with a vaccination within the first three days after infection against the outbreak of measles. The vaccination can prevent the onset of the disease or at least weaken. Since the first symptoms show only after several days, the vaccination is often too late. ""Therefore, a preventive vaccination is already at a young age makes sense,"" advises the expert. A vaccination there is not in Germany, however. The Committee on vaccination of the Robert Koch-Institute recommends, however, the first vaccination is given between the ninth and fourteenth month. For long-term protection should be shortly before the second birthday for a vaccination. For adults: anyone Who was born after 1970 and a maximum of a vaccination against measles has been received, you should brush up on his protection. ""Who does not know about his vaccination status know can find out through a blood test, whether he is protected,"" said Dr. Wolfgang Reuter. However, the laboratory findings are not always clear. Therefore, it is advisable to be in doubt, vaccinate. PM: DKV German health insurance (HJ)",2,"germany"

The scientific service of the Bundestag, had already noted two years ago on constitutional issues. The experts do not exclude the possibility of a mandatory vaccination for certain diseases to enforce, generally speaking. For kindergarten children, this could still work to some extent, in the case of School-children may be more difficult. Beyond the legal problem is that the vaccination is done in several steps, and then to take effect.

"4640","Status: 06.05.2019 at 14:04 - NDR Info-measles-vaccination? Green stick to the ""no"", Minister of health, Jens Spahn (CDU) has rejected criticism of his bill for a measles vaccination. The goal is not to impose fines, but that as many people as possible be vaccinated, said Spahn in the morning magazine of the ARD and the ZDF. The CDU-politician drew a comparison to road transport. Who is going to endanger others, and get caught, had to pay a fine. The Greens remain opposed say ' no ' to a measles vaccination for kindergarten and school children. Kordula Schulz-Asche, member of the health Committee of the Bundestag, said on NDR Info, the draft law aims to punish the parents. A fine could lead to parents who have reservations, to send their children to Kindergarten. These facilities are an indispensable Instrument of formation and social inclusion. ""Vaccination is an act of solidarity in society,"" The rate of only 93 percent for the second vaccination of children, rather, is the result of a lack of education. So, for example, the consulting services in the health authorities in recent years had been significantly shortened. Schulz-ash called for investigations, whether it is really a rejection of the Impfangebotes or there may be problems in the children's medical care. On the Land there is, for example, may not be sufficient appointments to meet with pediatricians or wide paths, with the result that the second vaccination is not perceived. Targeted education about vaccinations in facilities where parents and children move, was a measure which was preferable to fines, so Schulz-ash. ""Vaccination is an act of social solidarity. It protects not only themselves but also other people, especially small children,"" said the Green party politician in the NDR Info Interview. Consent in the medical school Spahns draft law provides for, among other things, fines of up to 2,500 Euro, and the exclusion from the Kita-visit to March 2020, and should not be parents of the vaccination of offspring.

"4731","Silvia angel: The obligation to vaccinate children against measles before they go in the nursery or in the school, has been debated for a long time. Today, the Bundestag decides on a commitment to this vaccination. This is to ensure that the in Germany, to the low vaccination Coverage is raised against this dangerous infectious disease. In the future, parents demonstrate that send their children to daycare or school, that a protection against measles exists. Shortly before the show, we had the opportunity to speak with Sabine Dittmar. She is the Chairwoman of the SPD in the health Committee, and also children's nurse and house doctor. Question to you: How to be implemented the new law in practice? Sabine Dittmar: Yes, through the submission of immunization records or from a children's examination book or through the certificate. This is from state to state often vary. For me, in Bavaria, is made in front of the Kita-recording is still an investigation. Since the vaccination status is registered, or whether the child is ""contagious"" diseases of the end, and this must be demonstrated. Vaccination must for nursery children proved to be Engels: The German Association of cities complained that it would be in the concrete implementation still many open questions, because, after all, a right exists to claim on a kindergarten place. The forfeit is, if the login date is not a vaccination book, or the space is held for a time free? Dittmar: There is certainly still a lot of internals, also in the implementation. I don't want to deny at all. But in the future, to prove when you visit a community Agency that Vaccinations or adequate immunity is present is easy. And then there is, of course, so: day-care centres are already under a year, and you know that the vaccine is kept in only nine months, or is approved. And because a child is vaccinated, doctors often like to first with ten or ten and a half months, then it must be simply demonstrated at the same time. Of course, included children without Vaccination, but the timely completion of vaccination must be demonstrated. Angel: But then, when really children without a Vaccination yet, then squared the whole concern, lock, that one wants to achieve just that measles can spread in daycare centers? Dittmar: But a child under a year now, you can't vaccinate against the measles and that is why it is so important that I make sure that in the case of the One-, Two-, three-year-old then sufficient immunity is there to protect this child in the daycare center. Active Effort to seek Vaccination Engels: The idea behind this law is that you want to reach those who simply had no awareness of the importance of the measles vaccination is. In addition, the small percentage of those are specifically opponents. You want to be aware of their kids vaccinated, because they weigh the risks of vaccination are higher. The policy and health care here are the Kita-lines soon to be alone with it, the principle conflicts to fight? Dittmar: I need to change This absolute opponents say: that is a very, very small percentage. We will not meet with the law. Because I'm pretty sure. But it is this: We have Coverage for the first vaccination of 97 percent. That is, the parents are convinced of the vaccination. You know how important this is and that is a blessing for the mankind. But in the second vaccination already during the two years of the rates fall, and decreases significantly. I can tell you just from my own practice that vaccination is often a waste of codes, or due date. The one power, usually in conjunction with the U-tests. Then, it was often according to experience reports, so that it was said: in the Morning we are invited to the birthday party or we want to go away for the weekend. And as you all know from the first vaccination, the child often reacts with a fever, which is also good because it is a good immune response. So we postpone the vaccination - then is moved for the first time. Then I see the child in my practice in between, always only when it is suffering from an acute disease, and then I can't vaccinate. I think if the parents know, you need to have in the nursery that the vaccination status is complete, then you will also active to choose a suitable Injection. ""Unvaccinated children are not allowed in Kita"" angel: But, once again, to the question: The percentage may be small, but there is this very clearly occurring opponents. Need to fight this principle to the battle then soon to be the nursery-lines or, later, the school lines? Dittmar: Well, good. In the case of the school boards, because we have compulsory education. The goes prior to the vaccination. This is then regulated about fine arrangements, where appropriate fines will be created. And I would say, in the nursery of this unvaccinated child. The need to take the parents with then. Angel: Then we look at the other group of people, which must be soon vaccinated. The adults, which occur especially in contact with children, such as childminders, the nursery school staff, teachers, Employees in the field of medicine. Here is just that the people over 30, where commonly the vaccination Coverage against measles is considered to be very low. This is handy to organise, because it is supposed to attack in the spring of next year? Dittmar: Yes! I see now in the practical feasibility no problems. Either one casts a look at his immunization records and look: I Have the appropriate vaccinations? And if you don't, you do. And if it is absolutely unsafe, or the vaccination booklet is lost, then there is always the possibility of the Titer determination. But the experts say it's better then a vaccination. Since then to be on the safe side. Angel: Until now, there are on the market Yes against measles is only one of multiple vaccination. The includes in addition to the rubella and Mumps also measles. The Bundestag is de facto decided on a mandatory vaccination for all three? Dittmar: no, we adopt a mandatory vaccination for measles. And there are also individual vaccines, which would then have to be imported. But I say again: We want to reach that failed to meet the second vaccination or have encrypted. In the first vaccination is usually the Three - or Four-way vaccine vaccinated - often Varicella are now in the process - and, therefore, I see it now actually, just as a sektives Problem. Complaints of Impfgegnern possible angel: you don't see the danger that these Multiple vaccination the Impfrisiko increases? Dittmar: No! Those who refuse vaccinations and to say I am now vaccinate of measles, so that the child can really be in the Kindergarten or I don't have to pay the fine for the school, there has to be the single vaccine imputed. There are Yes which. Angel: Can't work a opponents, says quite deliberately, I'm not vaccinate, soon to be as a teacher? Dittmar: that is what The law looks like that, Yes. Angel: That is to say, as you must expect but also with actions, is it? Dittmar: Yes. The need to govern the country then. But I think the country can do to condition, when I operate am in a community facility, then the vaccination status has to be. Enormous gaps, especially in adults Engels: According to a study by the technician health insurance every eighth German currently has no certificate of vaccination. You expect the decision today, that in General, the higher the attention for this topic arises? Dittmar: Yes, I very much hope. We have made many efforts in the past, the topic of Vaccination is always to place health examination, during preventive examinations. The BZgA has launched a lot of campaigns. I can call on now, now is the time for the flu vaccination, since the vaccination record to take with you and leave the check. It is not just the measles vaccination, but we also have enormous gaps in Pertussis. Especially in the case of adults, we frequently find that they suffer from whooping cough again. Since there's a whole lot of. Angel: Those who are against this amendment, to say: Actually, the enlightenment or other aspects that may engage, to a duty to pre-empt was not exhausted, yet. What do you say to these critics? Dittmar: what we can do legislatively have, part of the health examination component of the preventive examinations, the duty to Advice for inclusion in the nursery - it is now already for quite some time, has not led to the desired success, and that is why we need to use the measures in measles protection act.

However, this system presents some limitations, including the limited completeness and comprehensiveness of the notifications, the lack of a standard definition of the case (with the consequent difficulty in the classification of cases, and by international agencies), non-recourse to laboratory confirmation, and the limited availability of detailed information on the cases. Therefore, with the approval of the first national Plan for the elimination of measles and congenital rubella, we tried to combine the mandatory notification, a surveillance system can provide information that is more detailed and timely information on the cases: – 2007: the birth of the System of special surveillance of measles in agreement with the indications contained in the “national Plan for the elimination of measles and congenital rubella 2003-2007”. The surveillance system provided for the reporting to the local health authority, on the part of the physician, within 12 hours of suspicion of a case of measles, the conduction of an epidemiological investigation by the local health authorities, confirmation of the diagnosis through appropriate laboratory investigations, the compilation of a standard module, and its immediate transmission to the ministry of Health and the national Centre of epidemiology, surveillance and health promotion (Cnesps) of the higher Institute of health. – 2013: the system of special surveillance of measles evolved in the surveillance System integrated measles-rubella (mmr), established by the circular letter (pdf 677 kb) of the ministry of Health of 20 February 2013. The objective was to strengthen the surveillance of measles and rubella, diseases for which there are targets for elimination, as set by the “national Plan for the elimination of measles and congenital rubella 2010-2015”. To collect timely data on notified cases is created on a web platform, in which representatives of regional and local health reporting directly to the cases.

"7106","Identify a series of practical measures that can encourage adolescents and young adults to get vaccinated against the measles: this is the hypothesis they are working on the experts of the Ministry of Health, with the involvement also of other ministries. The measures in the study, in the framework of the new plan for the elimination of measles, according to what is learned, may include, for example, the incentives in connection with the system of public competitions and university course. Other incentive measures could also include agreements with the sports federations to put in place incentive measures for the vaccination of young athletes. In practice, those at the studio would be measures to motivate young adults to get vaccinated against the measles, since this population is currently less covered and, therefore, more at risk of contracting the disease. The goal is to leverage not on the compulsory nature of the immunization, but rather on the incentives and measures that punterebbero right to a facilitation in the mechanisms connected precisely to the access to public competitions or to the location of the university. It is, according to what is learned, of the measures that are to the study from the table of experts of the ministry of Health, with the involvement of other departments, and of which, however, is still verifying the possibility of practical application. Another objective is to promote immunizations against measles in health care personnel. In this regard, as already noted by the president of the Institute of Health, Walter Ricciardi, you may refer to the already existing law for safety at work: on the basis of such a rule would, in fact, already possible to forecast a wider vaccination for health care workers.

"7140","Salvini against Maio and Cricket: ""Desperate, they have betrayed the people of 5 Stars. My door is open"" Like California is saved from the epidemic of measles with a law on vaccines equal to the our The required vaccinations to enroll in school, they have stopped the dangerous epidemic that started in 2014, by increasing the protections for all. In a few years the state of California has resolved almost completely the problem of the low number of vaccinated against the measles, which had led to a dangerous increase in cases in 2014, thanks to a very similar law to the one approved last year in Italy, and that links the vaccination to the opportunity to enroll in school. As he explains in an in-depth analysis of the New York Times, this solution is allowing you to include the percentage of vaccinated within the safe limits, that enable us to protect even people who for medical reasons cannot be vaccinated. The law proved to be more effective than campaigns to promote vaccination on a voluntary basis, at least for the resolve in the short term, a serious problem that had put at risk the health of millions of people. The outbreak of measles in California began at Disneyland, according to the reconstructions more widespread because of the tourists coming from abroad, the sick in the days of his visit to the theme park. The disease spreads rapidly, and in a little time, had led to at least 159 known cases of measles, a number higher than those usually encountered in a year in the United States. The rapid spread was due to levels below the average in vaccinations, which had exhibited a higher percentage of the population at risk of infection. Measles and vaccine measles is an infectious disease of the respiratory system is caused by a virus, is transmitted by air and is highly contagious. The disease, in addition to a rash, cause coughs, colds and high fever, which can reach 40 °C, and may be the cause of many complications, from pneumonia to encephalitis in otitis media entity. In 2012, according to the WHO, there have been 122mila deaths attributable to measles in the world, about 330 deaths every day. The most recent epidemic in Italy, registered in 2002, has caused the death of six people and led to 15 cases of encephalitis. The low vaccination coverage in our country have also caused an alarming increase in cases of measles in the last few years. The vaccine is the most important resource to be immune from the measles without having contracting the disease and therefore the risks that this entails. As with other vaccines, it is critical that in a population reaches the so-called “immunity of the flock”: if the vast majority of people are vaccinated, the disease cannot spread, and protect, indirectly, also a few that you can vaccinate for various medical reasons. In a sense, getting vaccinated is also a selfless act, because those who do not use a vaccine often has disease of the immune system, therefore it is more exposed to the risks of viral diseases, particularly aggressive. In the case of measles, the medical experience tells us that you reach an immunity of the flock when they are vaccinated between 90 and 95 percent of the people. Below this threshold, an epidemic of measles is far more likely to spread, as happened between 2014 and 2015 in California, and as happened recently in Italy. The case of the California data on The number of vaccinated can often be obtained from the information provided by the schools. In the case of California, educational institutions must send periodically to the health authorities reports on the amount of vaccinated among their members. In 2014, the total number of vaccinated in primary schools was 93 per cent, in the range of 90-95 percent is usually shown to have the immunity of the flock. The problem, however, was the extreme lack of homogeneity throughout California, with areas where the percentage of vaccinated was much lower. The given locale affects a lot more than that overall, because the risk of being infected is related to the number of people who are sick and not vaccinated you have around, not how many have received a vaccine in a radius of thousands of miles. In California in 2014 there were areas with almost all the children vaccinated and the other where there were very few, therefore making it more likely to outbreaks. 70 percent of children lived in counties with percent less than those considered ideal to have immunity, and of the flock. At that time, the rules on vaccination were very loose, a bit like us-until last year. The parents could decide not to vaccinate their children and enroll them in school by presenting a “exemption for personal beliefs”, a certification in which he was said to be opposed to vaccination for religious reasons or other beliefs. In addition, children could be enrolled in school with a sort of conditional: a commitment on the part of parents to vaccinate in the future of their children, but without any particular follow-up checks by schools. This condition is associated with the numerous campaigns of the so-called “no vax”, often opposed to vaccines for urban legends, or as a result of a scientific fraud in medical history recently, had meant that in many counties the number of vaccinated children was too low to ensure the immunity of the flock. After the outbreak began at Disneyland, the Senate of California has passed a new law, which entered into force in 2016, which eliminated all of the “exemptions for personal beliefs” in the admission of children in schools. The law has also made more tight controls on the parents who agree to have their children vaccinated within a certain period of time after their registration at school, expecting a vaccination plan to be completed within six months. The new rules provide for exceptions only for particular medical reasons that make it inadvisable vaccination. Without vaccination certificates schools can admit the children, and since education is compulsory and schools should communicate regularly to the state the number of vaccinated, the possibility of monitoring and maintaining of the immunity of the flock increased significantly. The california law has worked, and in a very short time. In 2016, 97 percent of children lived in counties with schools that have registered a rate of vaccinated over 95 percent. Not only that, 99.5 percent of children must be in schools where the percentage of vaccinated is above 90 percent. The inhomogeneity recorded in 2014 was almost completely resolved, leading to a better immunity of the flock on the territory of california. ........................... from the article in the post.it",2,"italy"

At the moment it is confirmed as a case and seven persons, all adults, who present the typical symptoms of the virus, but for which it is awaiting the results of laboratory tests. The confirmed case is a 59-year-old, hospitalized in the infectious diseases department of the Ospedale Maggiore of Parma under strict medical observation, and his condition is stable and is responding well to treatment. The suspected outbreak has been originated by a person returning to Parma from Sicily on the 21st of April last. It is currently in the epidemiological investigation that are rebuilding the contacts that the cases have had in the past few days taking timely procedures. Friends and family have been in contact with the sick, and still without symptoms, the local health authority offers the vaccination, if it has not already been made. To date, have been vaccinated fifteen people and were set in other events in the next few days. Measles is an infectious disease esantematica highly contagious disease caused by a virus, the Paramyxovirus of the genus Morbillivirus. Measles mainly causes a skin rash similar to those of measles or of scarlet fever, that most of the times it resolves spontaneously, but that can, in a relatively rare, lead to death, loss of sight, loss of hearing, permanent brain damage. The signs and initial symptoms typically include fever, often exceeding 40 °C, cough, runny nose and red eyes. Two or three days after the start of symptoms small white spots may form inside the mouth, known as spots of Köplik. A rash, red and usually begins on the face and then spreads to the rest of the body, begins typically three to five days after the onset of symptoms. Symptoms usually develop 10-12 days after exposure to an infected person and last 7-10 days. Complications occur in approximately 30% of cases in children less than 5 years of life, and may include, among others, diarrhea (8%), otitis (7%), pneumonia (6%), encephalitis (0.1 percent). The disease is responsible for a number of deaths ranging from 30 to 100 per 100,000 people infected, and usually for super-infections bacterial. Rubella (German measles) and measles are different diseases. Measles is a disease that spreads easily by air, especially through coughing and sneezing of infected people. It can also be spread through contact with the saliva or nasal secretions. Nine out of ten people who are not immune and they share the space in which they live with an infected person will be infected. People are infectious from four days before to four days after the onset of the rash. Once you contract the measles gives an immunization theoretically final, so there is ill for the entire duration of life. The test for the virus, for use in suspected cases, it is important for the initiatives of the public health. The measles vaccine is effective in preventing the disease. Vaccination has led to a decrease of 75% of the deaths due to this disease between 2000 and 2013, and approximately 85% of the world's children are currently vaccinated. No specific treatment is available. Supportive therapy can improve the prognosis. This can be achieved by administering a solution of oral rehydration, healthy food, and medications to control fever.

These days are talking about a lot of dolphins died in Tuscany and Ostia. It seems that the cause of the massacre of dolphins is an outbreak of Dolphin Morbillivirus, that is, the measles virus of dolphins. The dolphins, in fact, can contract a strain of Morbillivirus. So, let's find out the causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and therapy of measles in the dolphins. A recommendation: in the case noticed a dolphin in trouble, instead of taking selfie and lose time, notify the Coast Guard, the police or the Veterinary Services of the Asl. Measles dolphins: causes and symptoms The cause of measles dolphins is a virus of the genus Morbillivirus within the family Paramyxoviridae. These are RNA viruses capable of causing diseases such as the measles of man, the Distemper of the dog, and rinderpest in cattle. We immediately point out that this virus is species specific: human-only affects men, the dog only the dog and one of the dolphins, only the dolphins. There is a passage of viruses from one species to another. The dolphins can contract the disease through: direct contact with dolphins infected or sick by inhalation of aerosol particles containing the virus The virus can enter the body of a dolphin through the eyes, mouth, lungs, urogenital tract or skin wounds. The main target organs are the lungs and the brain. The symptoms of measles among dolphins, they are: slimming, skin lesions, breathing difficulties, dyspnea, pneumonia, and alterations of the behavior (which explains why they go to shoring) (which explains why they go to shoring) the increased susceptibility to secondary infections weakening of the immune system Measles dolphins: diagnosis and therapy The diagnosis of measles in the dolphins, in addition to the symptoms, it provides for the insulation of the virus, with also a search for antigens (ELISA) and of antibodies to viral. In addition, researchers seek to determine the genetic sequence of the different viral strains. Unfortunately, there is no treatment for measles, among dolphins, and there is not even a preventive vaccine. It has also been suggested that environmental stress and toxins can encourage the spread of the disease. This information is not used as a substitute for a veterinary visit.

To be precise, it is Cicciobello with the measles. An idea of giochi Preziosi to entertain children and make some parents and some doctors. But, unexpectedly, there is someone who has found suggestions to comment on: Roberto Burioni, and the national Institute of Health. A handkerchief to heal? What has infuriated the various Health experts, would be the fact that Cicciobello can heal from measles with a simple cream and a towel provided by the company. This, according to some people, would minimize the health problem of the measles. Cicciobello morbillino it was announced on the pages of Social Games Precious the last 1 April. The controversy of Burioni, The toy has not had time to be advertised that the well-known virologist Roberto Burioni, had already expressed his opinion on Twitter.

""Connect a disease like measles to something playful is misleading. You run the risk of inducing people to worry more of the vaccine, which is safe, that the disease, which, however, is not absolutely trivial,"" explains Ricciardi to Bend. Too many deaths? Ricciardi recalls that thanks to the compulsory vaccinations has reduced the number of cases, but still too many people (4 in a year) die from measles. Therefore, in his opinion, would be ""to blame this commercial approach that makes taking such risks"". On the other hand, the director of ISS believes that giochi Preziosi should withdraw the toy from the market because ""with the diseases not to play"". Please note, however, that is not the child to choose whether to get vaccinated or not, but it does the parent. Which usually, and fortunately, he knows very well that the measles does not heal with a cream. The web is divided If there is a place where there is no lack of criticisms and comments that is the the web. And the social divide in expressing their opinion.

Similar cases may occur each day, measles is one of the most contagious diseases also between the child and the adult, and, sadly, many adults are not vaccinated or do not have a contract from the small to the disease and therefore are at risk as much as children less than one year, and then not vaccinated. We are running real risks to the fault of ignorance rampant of which the main responsible is the 5 Star Movement and the current Minister of Cricket on vaccination has always been peripatetic and ever clear.

Measles continues to circulate in our Country because of the presence of pockets of susceptible populations, are not vaccinated or who has not completed the vaccination cycle at 2 doses. This is in large part due to the increasing number of parents who refuse the vaccination, despite the evidence established, and despite the measures of some regions that tend to improve the covers, interacting with the families and parents.

According to the data of the network Euromomo for the monitoring of mortality, which involves 19 european Countries, it has been noted an excess of deaths from all causes in the last two weeks of December 2016 and in the first four of January 2017 in Italy, as in France, Spain and Portugal, to fall within the expected values at the end of February. The figure for the worst and was observed in Italy with an estimated rise of 15%, and in the week of the peak of 42%, compared to the expected value, and potentially attributable to the influenza epidemic. To contribute to the increase of the mortality in this end of the winter season, and it was the particular virulence of the epidemic virus A/H3N2 viruses associated with a low vaccination coverage in the elderly, of which you are looking at a progressively decreasing down to below the threshold of 50%, despite the minimum goal of the Who and the ministry of Health is the attainment of 75% coverage among the over sixty, and among subjects with risk conditions. “Every year, in laboratories around the world are formulated from different combinations of the strains to vaccine expected for next season to try to stem the spread of the epidemic - says Walter Ricciardi, president of the Iss. The vaccination campaign is important, because in the elderly population, even if the wording is not perfect, it is able to attenuate the virulence, and to foster a clinical course better preventing, however, at least forty percent of the mortality.

"7226","An important discovery at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute in Boston published in “Science”, reveal that the damages caused by the measles would extend way also to the immune system after the course of the disease, causing dangerous consequences also in the years to come. The importance of vaccines In an era like ours, in which the wealth is taken for granted and forgotten in the horror of a certain disease, now eradicated, between antivaccinisti and mothers who arrive to organize even “contagion "" party” with other sick children immunization – according to them – their children from diseases feared as the measles, the science brings new evidence to the cause of the importance of proper vaccination. According to what highlighted by the survey carried out on a group of unvaccinated persons in the Netherlands, after a measles outbreak broke out in 2013, the consequences of the passage of this disease, would extend way beyond the duration of the disease, with repercussions as severe for the individual, convinced of having already passed the critical stage after his passing. The blood samples from 77 children were analysed both before and after the passage of the disease through a test called “virus scan“, can reveal antibodies. The test has revealed the presence of antibodies against the measles, but the children had lost a great part of their kit immunological, with a percentage that ranged from 11 to 73 percent, depending on the severity of the infection. Children and adults have not been vaccinated to this as to other serious diseases, are extremely vulnerable not only to the disease itself but also to the long-term damage. Amnesia immune Talking about amnesia is to think that a condition that damages the ability mnemonic of the individual, leading him to forget the events of her life. In this case, the consequence of the measles has a similar effect, but not on memories, but on the immune system of the person. Part of everything that the body had laboriously and painfully learned about antibodies and diseases already defeated in fact, is literally removed, bringing the body to a state of helpless the original is similar to that of a child. This condition then gives the person all the new and old infectious diseases, making him immune-depressed. This is why, after the measles, many patients fell ill frequently.",2,"italy"

This is a new report published by the main health organizations.outbreaks of measles have occurred in all regions, while there were estimated to 110,000 deaths related to the disease worldwide, mostly among children under the age of five years.all over the world. In 2017, about 85% of children around the world received a dose of measles vaccine by the first birthday through the health services routine compared to 72% in 2000.making the measles vaccine one of the best successes of public health.Before the introduction of the measles vaccine in 1963, and vaccination is widespread, outbreaks more have occurred approximately every 2-3 years eUtilizzando the latest data on the disease, the evaluation report 2018 of the global plan of action on vaccines, just published, provides estimates most exhaustive of the performance of the measles in the last 17 years. Shows that since 2000 have saved more than 21 million lives through vaccinations. However, the reported cases are up over 30% of the world beginning from 2016.The Americas, the eastern Mediterranean region and Europe have registered the largest increases in cases in 2017, with the western Pacific the only region of the World Health Organization in which the incidence of measles has declined.""The resurgence of measles is a matter of serious concern, with outbreaks prolonged, that occur in all regions, and particularly in countries that have reached, or were close to the reduction of the disease --. Without efforts urgent to increase the vaccine coverage and identify populations with unacceptable levels of under or unimmunized, we risk losing decades of progress against this devastating disease, but entirely preventable"".Measles is a serious disease and highly contagious. Can cause complications debilitating or fatal, including encephalitis (an infection that causes brain swelling), severe diarrhoea and dehydration, pneumonia, ear infections and permanent loss of sight. Children and small children with malnutrition and a weak immune system are particularly vulnerable to complications and death.For several years, however, the global coverage with the first dose of the measles vaccine was halted at 85%. This is well below the 95% needed to prevent outbreaks and leaves many people, in many communities, susceptible to the disease. The second dose coverage stood at 67 percent.""The increase of cases of measles is deeply troubling, but not surprising, CEO of Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance. The pleasure with the disease and the dissemination of falsehood on the vaccine in Europe, a health system collapse in Venezuela and pockets of fragility and poor immunization coverage in Africa are combining to cause a resurgence of measles after years of progress. Existing strategies must change and more efforts must be made to increase the coverage of routine immunisation and strengthen health systems. Otherwise we will continue to pursue an epidemic after another "".In response to recent outbreaks, health agencies have called for more investment in systems of immunization, along with the efforts to strengthen immunization services routine. These efforts should especially focus on the achievement of the community's poorest and most marginalised, including those affected by conflict and displacement. The agencies also ask for actions to build a broad public support for the vaccination, addressing misinformation and hesitation in regard to vaccines where they exist.""Are the necessary investments to strengthen the service delivery of immunization and take advantage of every opportunity to provide vaccines to those who need it,"" said, director of Accelerated Disease Control and Vaccine Preventable Disease Surveillance at the u.s.

He says the regional councillor for Welfare, Salvatore Ruggeri, commenting on the news of the recent outbreak of measles in Apulia, which has rekindled the attention on the subject of vaccines and the importance of vaccination. “Vaccinations are among the main tools of prevention and are the foundation of a good public health system”, underlines Ruggeri. “A testimony of the importance of offering vaccine in Italy, vaccination programmes have been included in the new Essential Assistance Levels, with the Decree of the president of the Council of Ministers of 12 January 2017. The data we rank among the regions with the highest threshold of vaccination coverage.

In particular, taking as reference the vaccine antimorbillo for the Trivalent and polio to the Chromium, for children born in 2011 are past, in the first case, from 94,7 to a 97.1 percent and in the second from 97,3 to 97,8.

There were however also cases of import from England to Italy: by January 2018, 4 cases of measles italians are the results imported from Great Britain and have led to two small outbreaks and other 5 outbreaks derivatives. Iss and Public Health England: “When individuals are not vaccinated are traveling to Countries where the virus is endemic and outbreaks are ongoing, are infected and return to the Country of origin by importing the virus”. 19 JUL [Everyday health] – After the attacks of the Times that accused in an editorial in Italy have exported measles in England and accused the new Government for its positions on the vaccines had arrived in the clarification of the Minister Cricket, replied stating that “no report portends alarm cases from Italy to the United Kingdom”. Today, however, in the wake of the controversy of the past weeks comes a joint statement from the national Institute of Health and Public Health England on the subject of measles and vaccination. “In Europe have recorded numerous outbreaks of measles and until the disease will not be eradicated each other's contagions cross between a Country and the other will be inevitable”. Remember the president of the Institute of Health Walter Ricciardi and Duncan Selbie, Director of Public Health England highlighting how “the eradication of measles is a goal set by the WHO, to be pursued with ever increasing power”. Ricciardi and Selbie explain then how “the disease can cause serious complications, including encephalitis, pneumonia, respiratory failure and even death, and its elimination is a goal in all WHO regions. The Eu has adopted the goal of elimination of the disease by 2015, but without reaching him. According to the data of WHO in 2017 have been documented 22.373 cases and 35 deaths in the european region. Outbreaks of measles are active in several Countries, including Ukraine, Serbia, Russia, Albania, Italy, France, Greece and the United Kingdom, with a total of 21.478 cases reported from January 2018 today. In Italy occurred 5400 cases in 2017, and 1716, between 1 January and 31 may 2018. Most involved young adults, but the higher incidence was seen in children under one year of age. A total of eight deaths related to measles have been confirmed in Italy from January 2017 today. The genetic analysis of the virus confirmed that all these cases had involved the same strains belonging to the genotypes B3 and D8, the same as that currently circulating in the rest of Europe”. “As long as measles will not be eliminated from all the regions – says Selbie – the cross infection between different States can take place, both between the member States of the same region and between different regions, when individuals not vaccinated are traveling to Countries where the virus is endemic and outbreaks are ongoing, are infected and return to the Country of origin by importing the virus”. Recently, reminds Ricciardi, “some outbreaks in England have been linked to the import from Europe. It has been documented that, from 2017, at least 7 cases have been imported from Italy (3 in 2017 and 4 in 2018). There were however also cases of import from England to Italy, he adds, by January 2018, 4 cases of measles italians are the results imported from Great Britain and have led to two small outbreaks and other 5 outbreaks derivatives”.

Cicciobello with the Morbillino, the new creation of giochi Preziosi is a doll with the measles, which, however, can be cured by erasing the red dots with a special towelette, a creamy sauce and cerottini. Roberto Burioni has harshly criticized in a tweet, the idea of the new creation of giochi Preziosi. “We look forward to – has written the virologist – the Cicciobello Linfomino and also Meningitino. I wonder who are these genes that trivialize serious illness without respect for the sick and for their family members. And to think that I take it with the antivaccinisti”. To point the finger against the trivialization of the disease was also the president of the higher Institute of health (Iss) Walter Ricciardi, according to which the product should be withdrawn from the market. “Connect a disease like measles to something playful – said Ricciardi – is misleading. You run the risk of inducing people to worry more of the vaccine, which is safe, that the disease, which, however, is not absolutely trivial”. On a war footing, the associations that promote the dissemination of the vaccines and prevention, the page Facebook of IoVaccino recalls ironically: But why be indignant? It's called the Cicciobello Morbillino, not Measles! It is obvious that the doll has been vaccinated, and that the rash is an effect of the vaccination (which, remember, it only happens in 5% of vaccinated). The doll is well, is healthy, protected, and is not contagious! In fact, if the doll had the measles, would not be sold with the washcloth magic and cerottini, but with the kit tracheal intubation, a machine for the ventilatory support and the liquid infused intravenously. Right, Games Precious? It was not your intention to trivialize a disease that continues to kill 400 children a day and Italy has already killed 3 people in the first 3 months of 2018, right?It is of course not an invention of today, and some of us have perhaps played with the older brother of Cicciobello Morbillino: but we are sure that the doll is still good? Twenty years ago there were neither the same spread of the vaccine nor the culture of the social responsibility of firms: it's time to invent new games? The answer to the controversy social unleashed by the new Cicciobello it came from the Ceo of giochi Preziosi, Dario Berté. “It is a game, he said, we have done everything in good faith. We do not think of having done anything outrageous, invoking a concept that has always existed, that of dolls with the ‘bua’”. With regard to a possible withdrawal of the product from the market, the Ceo has explained that “the withdrawal is done only after a decision of the authority. We produce games, from life: children have always played doctor and patient with the little baby dolls”. The main criticisms have focused on the idea that the measles can be cured with a towel. “You really think that a parent go into a pharmacy to ask for the pen to treat the measles? – added Berte – Rather, I think that a child will be well informed about the disease. Unfortunately, it is a period that is complicated, in view of the controversy about vaccines, but we have not thought that there could be difficulties of this kind”.",2,"italy"

"7256","In the popular imagination is considered a disease almost harmless. In fact, measles can be very dangerous. The confirmation comes from the processing of the data of the Global Burden of Diseases, which appeared in the scientific journal the Lancet: in 2013, children less than five years, measles deaths have been more numerous than those killed by Hiv, and from road accidents. 82mila deaths The Global Burden of Diseases has estimated that in 2013 alone, around the world, died from the measles well 82mila people. The highest price was paid of small children. According to the data of the Global Burden of Diseases, in fact, in the first five years of life, half of the deaths have been due to this disease, which in some areas has recorded the mortality rates are very high, even more than 10%. Of the rest, after respiratory infections, malaria, diarrhea, nutritional deficiencies, birth defects and meningitis, the seventh leading cause of death in early childhood is represented by the measles. At risk not only the poor Countries, The areas most at risk are the poor ones. But we must not think that in the western Countries do not run any danger. Just think of the epidemic of measles taken on January in the Usa and originated probably from one case to Disneyland or to the emergency exploded in February in Berlin, where it also died a child of 18 months. The importance of vaccines, and Yet a solution to prevent these tragedies there is. Is the vaccine. According to the processing american a greater use of vaccination may help reduce the number of sick people is that of the dead. Unfortunately, this measure is not only not widespread in the Countries of the third world, but is becoming less and less practiced in our Country. Suffice it to say that according to the Center for epidemiology of the istituto Superiore di Sanita 10% of the new born, and many adults are not vaccinated against this disease. The reasons for it? On the one side the campaigns carried out by the detractors, and the fears of the parents, on the other, the incorrect perception that measles is not dangerous. In reality, to us it is, just in virtue of the efficacy of immunizations. If the negative trend will not be a tack, there is the possibility that the virus will return to being very active also in Italy. To stem the spread of the virus, in fact, you need a vaccination coverage exceeds 95% of the whole Italian population. In short ATTENTION TO THESE SYMPTOMS, The disease is manifested after an incubation period of 10-12 days, with fever, dry cough, catarrh, common cold and conjunctivitis. It assists to the appearance of red spots on palate and white on the inside wall of the cheeks, called spots, Koplik.

It is the alarm launched by Unicef, which emphasizes that globally, 98 countries have registered more cases in 2018 compared to 2017, undermining progress against ""this disease is largely preventable but potentially deadly"". In Italy, in 2018, the cases of measles decreased by 56% compared to 2017, going from 5.396 confirmed cases in 2017 2.373 last year. The total cases suspected in 2018 were 2.592. In the United States, the number of cases of measles has increased by six times between 2017 and 2018, reaching 791 cases. More recently, there have been epidemics in the states of New York and Washington. The Countries that have recorded the greatest increase from 2017 to 2018 were in the Ukraine, the Philippines and Brazil. Only in Ukraine there were 35.120 cases of measles in 2018. According to the government, other 24.042 people were affected only in the first two months of 2019. In the Philippines up to now this year, there were 12.736 cases of measles and 203 deaths, compared to the 15.599 cases in 2018. ""This is a wake-up alarm. We have a vaccine that is safe, effective and economic against a highly infectious disease, a vaccine that has saved approximately a million lives each year in the last two decades,"" said Henrietta H. Fore, director-general of Unicef. ""These cases - he added - are not appeared suddenly. Just like the serious epidemics that we are seeing today, are propagated in 2018, the lack of action today will have disastrous consequences for the children tomorrow."" In response to these epidemics, Unicef and its partners are supporting governments to immediately reach millions of children in countries around the world, for example, through interventions in such countries as: the Ukraine, the Philippines (where they will be vaccinated 9 million children in 17 regions), Brazil (11 million children under 5 years of age vaccinated), Yemen (vaccinated more than 11.5 million children), Madagascar. Health facilities are not adequate, according to the report of Unicef, civil conflict, lack of awareness of the community, carelessly and hesitations about vaccines, in some cases, have resulted in epidemics in both developed countries and those in development. ""Almost all of these cases are preventable, but despite this, children are affected even in places where there is simply no excuse,"" said Henrietta H. Fore.

To bring it back in a document are the Centres for disease control and prevention (Cdc) in the us. In the face of these data, New York city mayor Bill De Blasio has declared a state of public health emergency and has requested the mandatory vaccination in the four most affected areas. In practice, in the districts most affected by measles, unvaccinated persons must receive the trivalent vaccine against measles, mumps and rubella (Mpr). And those who will not carry out the vaccination will need to pay a fine of one thousand dollars. The epidemic in numbers, From January 1 to April 4, 2019 with the Cdc have noted, as well 465 cases of measles in 19 states: it is the second most-wide epidemic since 2000, according to data from the Cdc. The city of New York is certainly the most impressed with 285 cases, of which the majority is concentrated in Brooklyn, the most populous borough of New York, and in Queens, the second for the population of the city. In particular, the community of orthodox jews has been one of the most affected of New York, as reported in the document. The order of compulsory measles is contagious and can be dangerous, especially for infants and children: one person in four has to be hospitalized, one in a thousand goes to an inflammation of the brain (an encephalitis) that may also damage permanently the brain and from one to two in a thousand die from measles. The only prevention is vaccination. For all these reasons, the April 9, 2019, the health authorities in the united states have issued an order, directed to all the people who live in specific areas of New York, mentioned in the document with the postal code, with which they must be vaccinated if not vaccinated, and be able to demonstrate that, under penalty of a fine of 1000 euro. Measles in the Usa in the United States measles is a disease that rarely manifests, and that it was eradicated for years. Measles was declared eliminated from Usa in 2000, a watershed year, all thanks to vaccination campaigns. However, 2014 has seen the revival of many outbreaks, and have been detected in 23 outbreaks with a total of 667 cases of measles. The return of measles in the United States is due to the decline of vaccination. In particular, the two basic factors are the trips abroad and the absence of the vaccine: most of the people who contracted measles were not vaccinated. An epidemic is also present in Italy, associated with the decline of vaccinations in the past few years. Measles in Europe, But the increase of measles also affects Europe, which, for example, from 2016 to 2017 has recorded a 400% of the cases. Italy was first, with 5000 reports of measles, in spite of this, however, in our country, the outbreaks follow a decreasing trend. And even in 2018, the situation was not better: there were almost 83 million people affected in Europe, and 72 deaths, according to data from the world health Organization. The reasons for this epidemic are multiple, according to the Who: from the overall decline in the vaccination coverage usual, which concerned in particular the social groups most marginalized, the interruption in the supply of vaccination and the reduction of attention to the surveillance systems of the diseases. But there are also lights, in addition to the shadows: in 2018, you record the highest ever number of children vaccinated in Europe. The data, apparently contradictory, can be explained by the fact that there are groups growing population that does not vaccinate, as told by the Who, who have contributed to the case record. In Italy, after the decline of the vaccination coverage in 2016, the vaccinations have increased after the law has imposed the obligation. However, there are still several outbreaks of measles, involving mainly groups of non-vaccinated. In 2019, for example, from 1 January to 28 February, have been reported 331 cases, especially in Lombardy and in Lazio, according to the latest report of the Iss. Among these, 26% had some complication, 21 people have developed pneumonia and one had an encephalitis.

And also the number of infections is very high: more than 115 thousand infections from October 2018. The numbers of these that make this outbreak the biggest and most dangerous in the whole history of the country. According to estimates from the world health Organization (Who), only 58% of the people are currently vaccinated against the measles virus (to avoid an epidemic, according to experts, the rates of immunization should be in the range of 90-95%). In addition to the problem of the distrust towards the vaccination, explained Dossou Vincent Sodjinou, epidemiologist at the Who in Madagascar, to complicate the situation in Madagascar are other factors, such as malnutrition, or the difficulty in reaching the health centers, which are often short of qualified staff. Also, some of the parents, "" adds the expert, ignore the fact that vaccines are completely free of charge in the centres of public health. Remember that cases of measles are increasing in many other parts of the world, such as, for example, the United States, where from January 1 to April 4, 2019 with the Cdc have been 465 cases of measles in 19 states. In particular, the city of New York is the hardest hit, with 285 cases in a few months: as we told you, in fact, New York city mayor Bill De Blasio has declared a state of public health emergency and has requested the mandatory vaccination in the four most affected areas.

Figures that are 3 times those of the 2017 and 15 times as recorded in 2016. According to the preliminary data of the Who, cases of measles in the world recorded in the first three months of 2019 were up 300%. “Although these data are only provisional they indicate a clear trend”, it says on the website of the Who. “Many countries are experiencing outbreaks of measles, such as the democratic Republic of the Congo, Ethiopia, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Madagascar, Myanmar, the Philippines, Sudan, Thailand, and Ukraine, causing many deaths, especially among children”. Although it is one of the disease is most contagious in the world, the measles can be prevented through two doses of the vaccine against this disease. For several years, says the Who, the global coverage of the first dose of the vaccine was halted at 85% (lower then the 95% required to prevent outbreaks). The second dose, however, decreased to 67%. Last month, however, the ministry of Health of Madagascar, in collaboration with the world health organization has launched a campaign of mass vaccination aimed to reach 7 million children. “After conducting mass vaccination campaigns in children aged 6 months to 9 years of age, the Madagascar is now witnessing a general decrease of the cases of measles and deaths,” reads a note by the Who on 15 April.

In the first six months of this year, we are almost to the triple of the cases found in 2016: 70 from January to June 2017 and in 2016 they are counted only 25 cases. For the USL Umbria 1 is dr. Stefano Ricci, Director UO of Neurology of the Hospitals of the City of Castello and Gubbio-Gualdo, who intervenes: ""I Would like to highlight the issue and draw attention to the most serious complication of measles, the panencefalite sclerosente subacute, whose eradication can only be achieved by increasing the vaccinations. The SNO (Society of Neuroscience, Hospital), of whose Steering committee I am a part, together with the colleague Silvia Cenciarelli, drafted a press release that is coming out in the newspapers and on the covers of national. Measles is an infectious disease, highly contagious, caused by a virus of the genus Morbillivirus (family paramyxoviridae). The national Institute of Health has registered in Italy, from January to July, 2017, 3501 cases of measles (89% in children not vaccinated), 2 of which are fatal"". ""Complications are rare – we read in the press – but responsible for about 30-100 deaths per 100,000 people. Among the most fearsome must remember the encephalitides, in particular the panencefalite sclerosing subacute (PESS). This is a rare form of encephalitis a slow evolution and a fatal outcome that develops in children and adolescents several years after infection with measles. Encephalitis is caused by the persistence of the virus, “mutated” within the brain tissue that undergoes, after a short inflammatory phase, a progressive and inexorable neuronal loss, demyelination, and gliosis. According to a recent epidemiological survey (analysis of the logs from 1998 to 2015 ) a group of researchers at UCLA University Los Angeles the impact of the PESS in the United States was 1 on 1380 children affected by measles. In Germany it is estimated approximately 1 case of PESS on 1700/3000 children,but the incidence rates are much higher in India and the Middle East. There are no therapies the solution to this terrible disease that is fatal in almost all cases in the space of a few years. The only medical intervention effective, able to significantly reduce the incidence of the PESS is represented by the immunization vaccine so that low vaccination coverage between 1989 and 1991 in the USA led to a cluster of PESS 10 times greater compared to the epidemiological data of 1982. Remember that the complications of the brain that can develop after natural infection of measles far outweigh the possible, rare risk of complications produced by vaccination. The SNO promotes and encourages the vaccination antimorbillosa on a large scale in our Country for the purpose of fighting and eradicating this disease.""",2,"italy"

According to the data of the world health Organization (Who), in 47 of the 53 Countries of the region are registered 82.596 cases, 61% of which required hospitalization. 72 deaths. And even if the vaccination coverage has never been so high in 2013, according to experts, the current pace of vaccinations is not enough to stop the circulation of the virus. The problem – emphasize Who is on the local data, and takes preventive measures more and more effective to comply with the commitments made at the international level. Increase the cases, you are Not exaggerating. Measles in 2018 has taken place, and in the 53 Countries of the Who european region (which includes the countries of Eastern europe and Russia), the number of infections has grown to mark a new record: 82.596 cases, 72 deaths. Digits that exceed 3 times of those recorded in 2017 and even 15 of 2016. But also the vaccination coverage Next to the negative record, there is even a positive one, however. The immunization program are working and in 2017, the coverage for the second dose of the vaccine was the highest ever recorded from 2013 (90%). In practice, overall more and more children are receiving in the times provided for in the vaccination plan of the respective Countries, the two doses of vaccine required for immunization from the virus. A local problem, How can we explain this apparent contradiction? The report of the Who collects national data, but, as pointed out by the experts themselves in the organization, the aggregated data in the end would hide the sub-national level, that is, the disparities on the territory of individual Countries, some of which are recognized only when there is an outbreak of infection. For example what is happening by the end of 2018, at Rimini, where there is an epidemic of measles that has not yet taken recently at the shelter for two boys for complications (encephalitis and pneumonia). “The framework for the 2018 clarifies that the current pace of progress in raising the rates of immunization will be insufficient to stop the circulation of the measles. Although data indicate a vaccination coverage exceptionally high at the regional level, it also reflects a record number of new cases and deaths from the disease,” said Zsuzsanna Jakab the Who. “This means that the gaps at the local level still offer a way for the circulation of the virus”. The work, therefore, is on the territory. “We must do more and do better to protect every person from diseases that can be easily avoided”, added Jakab. Measles, avoid it, you can The 90% immunization coverage is a good result, but to be safe you need to reach the 95% threshold, so as to ensure the protection of the entire community, even those who cannot be vaccinated (because they are too young or for health problems) or for some reason do not develop immunity. It is not an impossible objective, but on the contrary they say from Who. 43 Countries in the region have managed to stop the virus circulation is endemic for at least 12 months from the end of 2017, some even to stop the spread of measles from a few imported cases. The elimination, therefore, is at hand. “Progress in achieving a high national coverage are commendable. However, cannot blind us to the people and places that are still deficient,” he concluded Nedret Emiroglu, director, Division of public health emergencies and communicable diseases of the Who regional Office for Europe. “It is here that we must now concentrate our efforts more. Never should we bask in our achievements, but continue to strive to reach the finish line.

Found 12 cases in less than 3 months ""To Umbria, we cannot speak yet of an epidemic, but there is a strong increase compared to previous years. In 2016, we have registered 25 cases. This year, in less than 3 months, we have already found 12"" - explains the regional minister for health and Luca Barberini. To emphasize that people who have contracted the disease were not vaccinated or had not completed the course of vaccinations. Vaccines In Umbria vaccines for measles are passed from one coverage dl 95,4% in 2010 to 87,5% in 2015. ""For now, adds to the Barberini – we have not thought about making vaccinations mandatory, but we're enhancing the awareness-raising campaigns. Remember that the safety threshold is at least 90%."" In Italy, measles, believed to have now been eradicated thanks to a vaccination, back to fear in Italy. From the month of January 2017 has been registered an alarming increase in the number of cases, which have more than tripled: of the 844 cases of measles reported in 2016, from the beginning of the year have already been registered more than 700 cases, an increase compared to the same period of the previous year, in which there had been 220 cases, of more than 230%.",2,"italy"

But in fact, if the girl had been vaccinated we would not have been the flu that there were. The responsibility hospital if there are any, are a result of a disastrous choice of his parents. Similar cases may occur each day, measles is one of the most contagious diseases also between the child and the adult, and, sadly, many adults are not vaccinated or do not have a contract from the small to the disease and therefore are at risk as much as children less than one year, and then not vaccinated. We are running real risks to the fault of ignorance rampant of which the main responsible is the 5 Star Movement and the current Minister of Cricket on vaccination has always been vague and never clear.”",2,"italy"
"7288","SENIGALLIA – Still cases of Measles in Italy, in a crescendo that seems not to mention to stop. According to the last bulletin, of which all of the data at the bottom of the page), the cases registered from the beginning of the year are now a 4200, a net increase compared to last year. The last case was registered in the department of Obstetrics of the Hospital of Senigallia, in the Marche region, to the detriment of a midwife who was not vaccinated. The case was reported only on the 25th of August by the health department to the Isp Service-Infectious Diseases of the Department of Prevention, but the midwife seems to have been absent from work for sickness from the 20th of August. After the discovery, we proceeded immediately to track down all the people who had contact with the midwife and then vaccinarle: total 2 family members, 2 parents of infants and other health care provider. The epidemiological investigation After the reporting of the case, the Isp Service infectious Diseases has immediately started the epidemiological investigation with the assistance of the medical Direction of the Hospital, according to a note in the Marche Region. The first need was to rebuild in a quick way, which and how many contacts has had the midwife ill during the days of incubation of infectious disease. For this, a first working group formed by doctors of the Department of Prevention, Directorate of nursing for shifts workers, first aid, medical Direction hospital, division of obstetrics and pediatrics. The procedure has been performed following the directives of the Ministry of Health, for which they have been contact by telephone all women who were found to have had potentially contacts with the midwife. The people contacted were invited to ask questions or clarify any concerns or doubts. It is carried out a verification anamnestic immune status, with the invitation to the vaccination for susceptible individuals. Have also been exposed to the precautions to be taken and the need to present themselves the next day in Pediatrics. At the property were ultimately crafted a path and dedicated areas for possible therapy with Immunoglobulin if necessary. In addition to this, steps were taken to warn 19 contacts of the 56 patients in the Emergency room, he was registered with the phone number, or has been notified your doctor, you can still read in the note of the Marche Region. On the 26th of August, then, the working group continued the evaluation of the case and were established procedures both for the health personnel in service, both for the monitoring of possible contacts at risk of inpatients or patients discharged from hospital. Thanks to this additional survey work it has been possible to identify and track the patients assisted by the midwife in the days previous to the 20th of August, in order to monitor the possible emergence of signs and symptoms related to the measles for a period at least corresponding to that of the incubation of the disease. Measles, the epidemic shows no signs of stopping: already 4.200 cases Are 26 cases reported only in the month of August, and almost 4.200 from the beginning of the year. The measles seems not to want to appease. To propose these numbers is the last bulletin of the Ministry of Health published a few days ago, according to which the total from the beginning of the year is 4.193 cases, with 3 deaths. 88% of the cases notified in January concerning unvaccinated persons, while 7% were vaccinated with a single dose. In 34% of cases occurred at least one complication. Hospitalization was required in 42% of patients, and the mean age of the infected is 27 years old. 56% of the reports occurred in the age group 15-39 years, while the incidence was higher in children under one year: here the measles has hit 52 children each 100 thousand inhabitants. In those between 1 and 4 years, the cases are 25 on every 100 thousand, while among young adults (the most populous), the incidence is 14 per 100 thousand.

In fact, the cases that are added each week to the total are not only cases actually the insurgents, but also the cases that, for various factors, have been inserted late, in the last week, but that refer to people that have shown symptoms in the previous weeks.

In just two months, have been sent about 120 thousand letters, which have allowed the umbrian families to fulfil, in a simple and timely, the obligations relating to the new provisions on vaccines and school education, thus avoiding inconvenience, file to health centers, and unnecessary access to the services. It is a choice – continue Barberini – which was also an important work of awareness-raising about the validity of vaccines as health opportunities. Have been several, in fact, the parents, who, in the last two months, they are presented spontaneously, in the various towns of the vaccine to ask for information or to vaccinate their children. A positive signal that reinforces the data on vaccination coverage mandatory, which in Umbria are higher than the national average, with a significant increase in recent times. For example, in the case of the trivalent vaccine (against measles, mumps and rubella), in the born 2014 there has been an increase of around 5 percentage points compared to December 31, 2016, calculated on the resident population today in our region: the shell has been increased from 87,6% to 92,1”. “Now – said the commissioner – begins the phase of recovery of defaulting: in all of the Usl are starting to registered letters, through which you will be offered an appointment at the health center of reference, to make the process of vaccination required.

Walter Ricciardi, president of the ISS, arrived yesterday words worry. The cases of Bari “we have to worry about because as it turned out the situation of the measles is absolutely not under control, is an alarming situation,” it said in statements Ricciardi reported by Ansa. “It is created in Italy from 1999 – says Ricciardi – when the Parliament has repealed the obligation of enrolment in school with the certificate of vaccination, a real bomb microbiological.

An important result, as certified by the ministry of Health, achieved thanks to the increase of the vaccination coverage in our region are well above the safety threshold of 95 percent.” This was announced by the regional councillor for Health, social Cohesion and Welfare, Luca Barberini, after the publication of the Higher Institute of Health, report on integrated surveillance on cases of measles, with data relating to the single regions. “From January 1 to December 31, 2018, "" explains Barberini – have only been five cases of measles, all confirmed in the laboratory. They are isolated cases, two of which are infected outside of the uk. A very positive element, given that in 2017 were 78, which places our region among the three best of Italy, after the autonomous Province of Trento and Sardinia. This result is related to the excellent coverage of mandatory vaccinations, in children born in the last years, which ensure the immunity of the herd and prevent the spread of a disease that can have serious consequences for health”. The assessor is then the point on childhood vaccinations in the Umbria region: “For children born from 2012 to 2016, the vaccine coverage for Hexavalent chromium (polio, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, hepatitis b, haemophilus), and Trivalent (measles, mumps, and rubella) are all above the safety threshold recommended by the world health Organization. Once again, our region is not among those with the widest coverage and among the few in Italy that exceeds the threshold of 95 percent for the measles”. “In particular, "" explains Barberini – December 31, 2018, for those born in 2012, the coverage for the Trivalent was 96,7%, and for the Chromium to a 97.1%. For cohort 2013, in the first case, with 95.5 % and in the second 96%. For children born in 2014, the Trivalent to 96.4% and the Chromium to 96.8%. For the 2015 coverage to 96.4% in the first case, and to 97.3% in the second. For those born in the year 2016, the figure is in constant evolution, since the process of vaccination started in 2018 is continuing in these weeks: as at 31 December for the Chromium cover was 95,6%, while for the Trivalent to 94,6%, but we believe that we have reached and exceeded 95% in these days”. “These figures – said the commissioner – demonstrate that the extension of compulsory vaccination and awareness-raising activities promoted have worked. The good results achieved are the fruit of a joint work, which has seen the Region, Usl, operators of the centres vaccination and pediatricians united in the dissemination of the culture of vaccines. Continues the commitment of the department of Health in the promotion of childhood vaccinations, which are essential for the protection of public health and to prevent the return of dangerous diseases eradicated in the past. The vaccines are safe, effective, useful, and represent an opportunity for health for all and an act of responsibility towards our children”. Compared to the number of breach of the rules, Barberini makes it clear that “in Umbria, for those born from 2012 to 2016, on average there are about a thousand, but it should be noted that this category includes children who, for health reasons, cannot be vaccinated, are already immunized, is not to be found or transferred and only in a residual, that is, about 15 percent, those whose parents refuse the process of immunization is required”.",2,"italy"

Italy is second in Europe for the number of cases of measles. Between December 2016 and November 2017 across Europe have counted more than 14 thousand cases of measles. Overall, last year, were recorded 14.393 cases of measles of which 4.985 only in Italy, 35% of the total.

To eliminate measles vaccination rates need to increase in different countries and to get to 95%. The Italian drug Agency (Aifa) takes up the report of the european Centre for emphasize the risk for children, especially those under one year of age that can't yet be vaccinated and explains “the point to emphasize, however, that the higher incidence of cases that have involved children under 12 months, so still not at the age to receive the first dose of the vaccine. They are, in fact, those most vulnerable to complications from measles, and therefore more protected from the so-called immunity of the flock, which is reached precisely with the 95% immunization coverage with two doses of the vaccine.

""We can't get populations healthier at the global level, as promised in the vision of the Who for the next five years, if we do not work locally. We must do more and do better to protect every person from diseases that can be easily avoided"".The estimated coverage with the second dose of measles vaccine was less than the threshold of 95% to prevent the movement (i.e., to get the ""immunity of the herd"") in the 34 countries of the Region in 2017. The rate of coverage of subnational indicate disparities within countries, and the coverage is sub-optimal for both doses, sets the stage for the transmission in the future, say the Who.According to the Plan the vaccines for the european, endorsed by all 53 member states of the Who Region, the coverage should reach 95% for the second dose to ensure the overall protection, including children too young to be vaccinated and others who cannot be immunized because of the existence of diseases and medical conditions adverse.In these years 43 countries in the Region have interrupted transmission of measles endemic for at least 12 months from the end of 2017. Some of them also managed to limit the spread of the virus to very few cases in 2017 and 2018, demonstrating that the elimination of the disease is at hand for the entire region.""Progress in achieving a high national coverage are commendable. However, cannot blind us to the people and places that are still lacking. It is here that we must now concentrate our efforts more. We should never please us of our successes, but to continue to strive to reach the last mile. Together we can do it"", concludes Emiroglu.",2,"italy"
"7309","The vaccination is a fundamental tool for primary prevention of infectious diseases. Thanks to vaccination is widespread, in the last century, smallpox was eradicated and the Americas, and Europe have become polio-free. A recent study evaluated the vaccine coverage in childhood, up to the addition of preschool age to update the analysis on the european trends in the vaccination coverage over the past nine years (2009-2017) and to evaluate the impact of different national policies on the uptake of vaccines. Despite the good results, several european countries are experiencing epidemics of unprecedented diseases that are preventable by vaccines, such as measles, as reported a few weeks ago, because of insufficient coverage. We must notify that in 2018 were reported over 12,000 cases of measles and 35 people have died for this. And still 4.5 million children in Europe are not vaccinated for measles. The increase of the smallness of the vaccine has made it difficult to achieve and maintain high rates of immunization coverage. The application of compulsory vaccinations is one of the strategies adopted by some countries, such as Italy and France, to increase the coverage of the population. However, each country should find the most suitable way to keep up with the coverage of vaccination according to their cultural background and organizational. According to the u.s. Centers for disease control and prevention of diseases (CDC), there have been over 1,000 cases of measles reported in 28 states in the United States up to now in 2019. This is the largest number of cases that the country has seen in almost 3 decades, and since measles was eliminated in 2000. Despite these recent setbacks, the vaccine against measles is highly effective and economic has prevented approximately 21.1 million childhood deaths all over the world between 2000-2017. The vaccine has also been associated with reductions in child mortality from all causes and the outcomes of morbidity of infectious diseases in countries of low and middle income, although there is little evidence to generalize on the initial receipt of vaccines against measles and its growth parameters, infant, cognitivita and school grades. While the measles vaccine has eliminated the virus in many high-income countries, the global burden of disease persists with about 245.000 cases of measles and 68,000 deaths associated with measles around the world in 2016. Only India has represented the 50% of the cases of measles and 30% of measles deaths in 2016. Although the countries of low and middle-income represent a large percentage of cases of measles overall, the high-income countries have recently witnessed a revival of the outbreaks of measles. The researchers examined the Z scores of height for age (HAZ), BMI-for-age (BMIZ), weight-for-age (WAZ), the scores of the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (PPVT), the evaluation of the initial reading (in the COMPUTER) , test of language and mathematics results in the school highest in the approximately 6,000 children vaccinated and not vaccinated in Ethiopia, India and Vietnam. The methods of matching score propensity have been used to reduce the effects of potential confounding factors. The researchers analyzed the data of the survey of 3 cohorts of children enrolled in the Young Lives Survey (YLS), a longitudinal study that assesses child poverty. The indicators of growth, cognitive, and school were assessed through the groups of vaccination against the measles, and the results of 7-8 years and 11-12 years were compared between children in the 3 countries with the receipt or non-receipt of measles vaccination at 6-18 months of life. Have been examined in children followed from infancy, during childhood, and have used statistical techniques that have produced reliable estimates of the associations of vaccination against measles with the results of later life. It is the first and largest study multi-country of its kind, according to Arindam Nandi, a senior fellow at CDDEP. The study found that at the age of 7-8 years, children vaccinated against measles had scores HAZ significantly higher in India (an increase of 0.13 points, p = 0.05) and scores significantly higher BMIZ and WAZ in Vietnam (an increase of 0.18 and 0.23 percent, p = 0.01) than children not vaccinated with measles combined. The children vaccinated with the measles they got the 2.3, 2.5 and 2.7 points on the COMPUTER, respectively, in Ethiopia, India and Vietnam. The vaccinated children had a score of 4.5 and 2.6 percentage points higher than the PPVT, and 2.9, and 4.0 points higher on mathematics in Ethiopia and Vietnam. In the same way, at 11-12 years of age, the children vaccinated against measles had 0,19 scores BMIZ highest in Vietnam (p = 0.04), and they obtained 3 points higher in English and PPVT in India. The vaccinated children became of 0.2-0.3 degrees of higher education in all ages and countries, than children not vaccinated. The results indicate that measles vaccination at 6-18 months of life is associated with long-term benefits for the health, cognitivita and schooling among the children of these nations. This study is an important reminder on the fact that the benefits of vaccination against the measles go beyond the child survival and are instrumental in enabling adults who have higher cognitive ability, education, and physical stature. These are, or should be, fundamental for economic development to which every nation aspires to. By Dr. GIanfrancesco Cormaci, md, PhD, specialist in Clinical Biochemistry.

Are more cases of last year in the same period and, in addition, there are outbreaks due to nosocomial transmission. Umbria is involved, in particular the province of Terni: there are 38 cases of measles, 14 a load of health workers. In this regard, the Italian Society of hygiene, preventive medicine and public health (S. It.I.) deems it appropriate to reiterate some of the recommendations contained in the national Plan of elimination of measles and congenital Rubella, in the new national Plan of prevention, vaccination 2017 – 2019 and, at european level, in the European Vaccine Action Plan 2015 – 2020. Epidemics of measles in the hospital are especially relevant, in addition to the circulation of the virus, the concentrations of fragile, exposed therefore to worse consequences in the event of contagion, and the high costs related to the control phase of the epidemic. In relation to hospital outbreaks, the Plan recommends putting in place initiatives to vaccine additional to the susceptible individuals, including at-risk subjects, such as health care workers. For these professional categories, the vaccination can substantially reduce the risk of acquiring the infection, transmit the same to the people with whom they come into contact. Pursuant to art. 279 of Legislative Decree 9 April 2008, no.81, among the interventions directed to the health personnel it is in this context important to check the immune status against measles operators already employed and, therefore, to vaccinate the susceptible individuals, to offer vaccination to healthcare workers at the time of recruitment. It also recalls, “that even for students of degree courses of the health area of the vaccination is strongly recommended. It reiterates the need to put in place protocols for preventing transmission of infections in hospitals, in clinics and in the Emergency department, which include: 1. the maintenance of a high level of awareness among the health personnel of the possibility of transmission of measles in a hospital setting",2,"italy"

The alarm comes from the world health Organization: in Romania occurred more than 3,400 cases and 17 deaths from January 2016 to march 2017. Italy follows suit, with a sharp rise of measles in the first months of 2017: the Ministry of Health and the Istituto superiore di sanita report 1.010 cases from 1 January to 26 march, which is well over 850 registered in 2016. According to the Who to eliminate measles serves a vaccination coverage of at least 95%, the same roof which is strongly recommended by the Region of Veneto, where the percentage of children vaccinated it stops at 87%. Little, too little. Evidence of this is the epidemic of measles found in Padua, where in march there occurred thirty cases of disease, proven (the number, however, increases from day to day), responsible mainly a strain imported from Romania. Affected both children and adults: there are dad-infected children, and also a little more than a year of life, and small to be infected by adults, a phenomenon not seen in decades. Some of the clinical pictures that have required hospital treatment, to avoid complications, especially among adolescents and among younger children, not vaccinated. It seems that the onset is due to a child's rom, and he came to the paediatric emergency department of the Azienda ospedaliera of padova with the suspicion of scarlet fever. The diagnosis has instead clarified that it was measles. There four other peers, who attended the same emergency room, tested positive to the virus. Then, the disease has multiplied in a crescendo of plot twists, and soon it was difficult to trace the supply chain. The disease has come to affect males and females resident in the Ulss 6 Euganea, young and middle-aged people. The Centre of Microbiology and Virology of the University directed by professor Giorgio Palu, the reference point for the entire Veneto Region, showed the same genotype for all of the children, the B3 circulating in central Europe, endemic in Romania, while in adults a mix of B3 and D8, the latter being typical of Italy.

The concept is that beyond all this, you have to try to find what we're looking at. Like when you watch a film and you commuovi emotionally without understanding the true message. And then invite all those people who have confidence in the authorities, in the science (even if, perhaps, you confuse the science with the medicine), in the information or WHO make an effort of lucidity. Try to disconnect yourself from, to forget everything you have heard about the measles, epidemics, immunity, and of the flock, and to the immunosuppressed. Even just for the game, to do me a favour. Try to remove all of this and listen to just the facts as they appear. In New York, one of the capitals of civilization on our planet, children are perfectly healthy, is forbidden to go out of the house because they do not take a drug, and, instead of unleashing a chorus of shouts asking what is going on, no one talks about. There are two articles on some newspaper nerd online to write what? That there is an epidemic of measles! As if this had something to do with the fact that children are perfectly healthy, can not get out because they have not taken a medication. The “terrible” threat of measles Here, I ask you to use only the logic and look at the facts, because here has nothing to do with science and even health. The threat of which you speak is measles. A disease that kills one person in a thousand if certain conditions and does not represent a real threat to healthy people. We were talking about a pestinenza lethal new, let's call it the epidemic of “zuppardollo”, infettivissima and told you that unvaccinated persons must not get out of the house... would also a sense. In this case, we are forbidding to children, perfectly healthy to go out of the house because they “might get sick”. Please connect the brain: we can all get sick, all of you! Even the vaccinated people. And not only that of measles, but thousands of diseases. You say that now there is an epidemic of measles, but how many epidemics we are considering the numbers? You are talking about hundreds of people on millions and millions of individuals: it is a proportion which is ridiculous. There are people with herpes infettivissimi, how many people will have hepatitis C or some fucking other disease? You drinking of panzate monstrous, and stay with the head fixed on those. If you want to, do not listen to what I say to you, but look at the facts: what is happening is the controlled demolition of your rights! Not those of the novax, of freevax, not of those of Stephen King, but of your rights. All this such hard luck inspect, all this nonsense that they are pulling in the ball, all this spectacle is grotesque and serves only to one thing: to make you, after a year of this show is ridiculous networks unified, and when you read that in New York it is forbidden for children to leave home rather than put their hands in their hair and to say: “the Fuck is going on?”, you say: “Oh well... there was the measles”. Stepping on your rights do you understand now? It's not measles, it's not health, there enters the fact make you to get used to this: you are the target! We are doing the brain washing to make you form the habit of giving up constantly to your rights. And this is what they are doing. It give anything to me, I am an asshole among thousands who protest and says the two that is crap but what he hit? Those who listen to me? It is not the novax the problem and the public health there enters nothing, it is you, you are the target.

Invented a hazard will lead you to accept the violation of your rights. You have to eat what they say, drink what they say, go in the places where you tell them and not where they go others, because if you go there will be dangerous. And you'll have to take medications, day and night, constantly. For your sexual performance, make you sleep more, because the children do not disturb... do you understand that you are getting used? We are breeding like animals. And if any of you looking at data that does not correspond to what you say, behold, I will give the conspiracy, the antiscientifio: “you've got the degree?”.

"7407","News that takes your breath away, and who terrorize those who are coming from the democratic Republic of the Congo. The Country in equatorial Africa, torn by decades of wars and conflicts, the victim of a plunder of the subsoil now is also the epicentre of the two epidemics that are falcidiando the population. In the land of the Great Lakes, from August 2018 there is an epidemic of ebola that has now caused more than 3 thousand infected people, has caused the death of more than 2 thousand persons, and 30% of the victims are children. In the last hours Unicef has issued a statement decrying the spread of the infection of measles, and the victims are currently more than 4 thousand. The democratic Republic of the Congo, 176esimo in 187 nations in the Human Development Index and with more than five million internally displaced persons is one of the poorest countries in the world, continually crossed by conflicts and humanitarian crises, it now seems not to be able to face the two outbreaks and to find a solution to the humanitarian tragedy in which it is immersed. The ebola is widespread in the regions of North and south Kivu and of Ituri, the rate of mortality, around 67% , which is among the highest ever recorded and although they have been introduced to new therapeutic treatments and a vaccine, the infection does not stop and the world health Organization has declared international emergency. Ebola, which sees its origin in wild animals, is transmitted through contact with any biological fluid of an infected person The incubation period ranges from two days to 21 days, and then, once manifested, because initially, fever, headache, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea, progressing causes internal bleeding, breakdown of organs, organ systems, and, finally, death. But now in the Congo, due to the ebola, have also developed complottismo and conspiracy theories or. More and more people, driven by popular beliefs, political exploitation and exasperation of a society, are convinced that the disease does not exist and that it is a strategy to occult powers, so as to exterminate the congolese population. The local communities have begun to show hostility towards the activities undertaken against the ebola virus: some of the dispensaries have been robbed, several health centers were given to the flames, the health care workers constantly live under threat and you are also recorded of murders in respect of some doctors. In this climate of suspicion, psychosis, and collective hysteria to make a buck is only the disease, which continues to thrive, and reap their victims. The situation is different related to the infection of measles. The epidemic, in fact, overwhelms the nation as a whole and is not confined only to certain regions. Reading the report of the organization Unicef, and it turns out that since January, the disease has already caused 4.096 dead and children under five years of age represent 74% of infections and 90% of the deaths. But the people infected by the disease are more than 200 thousand and in respect of the 2018, the number of cases has tripled. Edouard Beigbeder, Unicef representative in the democratic Republic of the Congo, it is thus expressed: ”We are fighting the epidemic of measles on two fronts: preventing infections and preventing deaths. Together with the government, we are conducting a race against time to try to vaccinate children against the measles, and, at the same time, deliver to the clinics and the medications that treat the symptoms and improve the chances of survival for those already infected. One of the main causes of the spread of infection is the lack of a medical coverage and a vaccination campaign covering the whole Country. For this reason, Unicef has announced that it will distribute over 11 thousand medical kits to the health centers. The Who (world health Organization) has, meanwhile, declared that the measles vaccine should cover at least 95% of the population, and the other actor involved in this fight against the epidemic, the government of Kinshasa, has announced that the October 22, will launch in all 26 provinces of the Country, a campaign to vaccinate children from six months to five years. “We're facing this situation because of the millions of congolese children do not have access to health care,” he always said Edouard Beigbeder, he then added: “the health system is weak, the insecurity, the state of war and the loss of confidence of the community in relation to vaccines and vaccinators, in addition to the logistical challenges are all factors that help to ensure that an increasing number of children are not vaccinated the risk of contracting the disease. In the future, if we want to avoid huge outbreaks of measles like this, there must be significant investments in the strengthening of the national program of vaccination and must be a concrete commitment on the part of the institutions in addressing the serious gaps in the medical system of health care”.",2,"italy"

"7422","Complaint health 12/11/2018 Editorial InformaSalus.en “it is evident that the articles of the newspapers and television services of the state tend to provide an alarm in the population, to say the least lacking of any foundation”. This was stated by the National Order of Biologists in an article in which he comments on the news spread by “La Gazzetta del Mezzogiorno” and other organs of the press of an “epidemic of measles” by communicating that there would be 8 cases had already been recorded in the paediatric hospital “Giovanni XXIII” of Bari. In the various services, it should be reiterated that the “contagion” may have been triggered by a child not vaccinated the daughter of parents of “no-vax”. To return, however, came the clarification of Cinzia's Wars, responsible for the epidemiological Observatory of Puglia Region, according to which there would be “no alarm outbreak of measles in Apulia”. “Just the hospitalization of a child, as happened in this case, to trigger a normal chain of contagion among not vaccinated because measles is a disease highly contagious,” he continued, assuring that “the situation is not worrisome”. The National Order of Biologists therefore clarifies the meaning of the term “epidemic” and the characteristics of the measles. “With the term epidemic, from the Greek epi demos, literally 'over the people', refers to a disease that affects a number of individuals were significantly higher than expected in a given population and in a given period of time. The degree of endemicity is the condition of a disease that is constantly present in the above conditions. Measles (from medieval Latin morbillus, that is to say small disease) is an infectious disease, very common, normally benign, be overcome without any consequence deleterious and, indeed, after his ordination fr an immunity to life”. The national Institute of Health says about it: “once the contract the measles gives an immunization theoretically final, so there is ill for the entire duration of life.” His constant presence in the population falls right into a condition of endemicity. Morbidity follows the trend of common infectious diseases (see chart related to the morbidity and mortality from measles in the USA) and, therefore, it is extremely hit and miss. “In 2017 – as reported by the National Order of Biologists - the cases registered in the united states, about 4,000, i.e., approximately one case per 150,000 inhabitants. In the Nineties have reached the 30,000 cases/year (considering the population then, a case, addition of less than 20,000 inhabitants) that this would alarm and, indeed, returning to absolute normality”. ""The sources cited - stresses the National Order of Biologists - have failed to communicate, however, if the cases registered in Bari have been charged to the subjects treated by the vaccine, if the affected individuals were suffering from other diseases, and, especially in the case of TG2, they did go with the idea that the measles necessarily mean effects very serious, when the Higher Institute of public Health 'measles has severe symptoms' and 'complications are relatively rare'"". ""In short,"" continues the Onb, if at all, that communicates the Institute of public Health is credible, it is impossible not to wonder what and how many serious effects can be expected from the 8 cases. Ultimately, it is evident that the articles of the newspapers and television services of the state tend to provide an alarm in the population, to say the least lacking of any foundation"".",2,"italy"

The results of the latest Survey of Hiv the country – which is a measure of the antibodies in the population by infectious diseases, including those that can be prevented with a vaccine – studies have shown that this age group only in 77,9% of people are protected against the disease. The study, which was based on a sample of the population, it was concluded that between 10 and 44 years, there is no immunity in respect of the group against its own reason for existing, that is, in the case of an outbreak, it is more likely that the disease is spreading.

Experts believe that there are more young people that are susceptible to the disease, it may be a result of having been "" vaccinated with a different strain or if there is a decline in antibodies over time, and the adults who were born before 1970, nearly all of that are protected because they have been exposed to the virus in children, the vaccine has been included in the PNV, in 1974.

"8731","The cases are on the rise, but the director-general of Health, explained that it is not only for having the most patients, some tests were negative but they were repeated and gave him a positive one. Up to here, “gracious”: Grace Freitas, stresses that the outbreak in the north, it is a challenge to the scientific to The measles, it is one of the most contagious diseases. When the virus is circulating in the Uk, the protection depended on the most to those who already had the disease or that the vaccine would arrive, there would be thousands of new cases per year, the figure was in the world: each person infetava, on average, up to 17 people. To understand what is going on in the outbreak, with all the characteristics of what was seen at the beginning of march, in the Harbour, and it is expected to exceed the one hundred cases in the next few days, it is one of the objectives of the Directorate-General of Health. “We are epidemiologists, and is a professor at the Faculty of Sciences of University of Lisbon to do the math to find out at the end of the episode, on the average, how many people are infected each and every patient,” said the first director-general of the Health, Grace Freitas, noting that this is one of the unknowns of what he describes as an epidemic of measles, “mixed” or light-weight. The head explains what is at stake when the virus was endemic in the country, which stopped in the year 2004 (in the case of the last few years, have begun always with the arrival of someone else who has had contact with the disease in the country), people are not only provided in a few cases, the vaccine or history of disease, as periodically contactavam with the virus in the outbreak that there were, what I was going to in keeping with the antibodies that fight the virus is on the rise. With the measles will become far less frequent, remained the same in the immunity challenge, but it is not so increased, which increases the susceptibility to contracting the virus, even if the manifestation is slight. Graça Freitas explained that this has been the pattern in this outbreak, only 16% of the patients were not vaccinated at all, and only 8% of the 97 cases of confirmed to on Thursday morning had had only one dose of the vaccine. Anyone who has either one or two doses of the vaccine, even if you take the measles delayed, it has less chance of being infectious to a third party who does not have any previous dose of the vaccine, but to understand exactly what the chains of transmission have been formed to be one of the final results of the epidemiological investigations are in progress. Tests have to be repeated for Another result of this boom in the face of what historically was the norm, is that it, too, because of the onset of the disease is mild, the first few reviews of some of the patients were unambiguous, and that it was necessary to repeat, at the end of a few days. Some of these cases, the second time, you were positive, says the doctor, all of which contributed for example to the increase of polio cases in the last few days. Free de Freitas explains that the seven new cases confirmed on Wednesday, for the Thursday, four were a result of the repetition of the analysis, they were not new patients to the fact that the people are, in fact, they were healed of their diseases, says the guardian. “It is a challenge to the scientific laboratory and the epidemiology is very interesting”, he underlined, because, at this time, there are no impacts of greater concern to the authorities: all patients should have had an evolution of “benign”. Even so, it is not the time to sigh in relief. Graça Freitas said that there were four patients have been flagged in recent times that they were not vaccinated, and that can be contagious to other people, the cases, given the incubation period of the disease (8, 13) days are to be expected even in the next week or so. For now, the outbreak is still concentrated mostly in and around the health care professionals of the Hospital de Santo António, in Porto, and their contact information. All in all, the DGS submitted to the hospital of approximately 20 thousand vaccinations to health care workers could boost their defenses. The balance of how many you have used so far is not closed. As for the chance that it will be necessary a third dose of the measles vaccine (now with two scoops that are recommended for the 12-month and five-year-old), Grace Freitas perentória: it is not something that is at the top of the table, to the opposite of what was shown. “It's a question of science in the world. We can help you with the data that's in our episode, but not with the conclusion. Today, there is no evidence in relation to the need for a third dose,” she points out.

According to the monitoring of last year's outbreaks in nearby european countries, it has been a matter of time when it will be similar to the scenario in the odvil in the us. A matter of time, and precepljenosti, which is also in the us, the trend of decline. A highly contagious viral disease is still a couple of years ago, apply to been eliminated, such as the children's paraliza, tetanus, mumps, rdečke, diphtheria, etc, and is obviously coming back. The profession has a clear precepljenost of the Slovene population had decreased from 94% to 92%. In other words, it means that something's going on, a major outbreak but it (still) is not to be expected. I was curious, what is this they call burning the opponents of vaccination, that I met years ago, when I was on the subject of vaccination prepared for the show. Even though it may seem to be, at least in the major media, was made to rotate to a call to the common good, on the internet, of course, still swarming with the terabajte of the arguments against vaccination. It does not help either sanding with the ashes of the former defenders of the necepljenja, who were going through the bad experience of the illness of the child have changed his views. No. The present outbreak of ošpic, as I read in one of the posts on the internet, because it vaccination, is the only... In the new year, for us it is pospremilo well as the very mild weather with an all-nezimskimi temperature. If you take the argument about all of the očitnejšem overheating of the planet, it would have been similar to the us president. Right before christmas, it is mainly to the east of the united states of s when the arctic cold from the snow neurji, which is to take care of the temperature records, snow has whitened the whole sunny Florida. Trump is, of course, immediately set a pan of his own cup, and tvitnil: ""Where the fuck is it now is this global warming?"" First husband of America, argues that the concept of climate change, created by the Chinese, who would like to economically overtake the united States. It is, therefore, also insists on the withdrawal of the paris climate agreement. This would be the Americas, he took a competitive advantage, something that he's never going to be allowed. And what do they have measles, and global warming are in common? In fact, more than it may seem at first glance. In both cases, it comes to a social issue, but at the same time, the search for the common good under a big question mark. To a certain extent, there is a fear for the health of your own child to read. But, because of individual cases of complications after vaccination, this fear started emerging as a threat to society as a whole. While the majority of the drive according to the road traffic regulations and observes the red light on the traffic lights, it is the one that is from an intentional or unintentional transport by air, you can use some of the luck away without any consequences. However, after going over a red light began to vozit a large group of people, the disaster is near at hand. The question of the pollution of the environment is a global issue, which has long been illustrated by the symbol of the žaganja their own branch. Furthermore, the two zgodbama of the common effects of which are first of all felt the most vulnerable. In the case of the ošpic they are older, and the expectant mother. In the case of climate change, the poorest nations. Recently, we have the agency for the environment, that is the height of the sea along the slovenian coast of the Adriatic in the last 20 years, it is increasing faster than in the european and global trends. Without the infrastructure of the interventions by the end of the century, the sea on our coast, poplavljalo on a daily basis. The poor inhabitants of the island country in the Indian ocean, they already have nowhere to retreat. The relationship between concern for the environment, the poor, our indifference is the big. It is also one of the main highlights papeževe of the environmental newsletters. Or is the human race really is already in the plan: save you, if you can't, or it's zagledanost on their own, the game has reached a new milestone? Part of the answer to the question, perhaps indicating a third common point of the ošpic, and climate change. This is the fake news, in English ""the fake news"". We live in the information age, Our generation with many of the issues, there is no need to break the head, because the question of the range of the keyboard. But with the amount of information, unfortunately, is also a confusion of ideas. Not just because they are in such a quantity, usually minor things, our brains do not find themselves, but also because of the spread of the news, the purpose of which is to intentionally fool the readers. Late last year, launched the phrase will be krojila the life of society, in the year of 2018, with all of the dilemami of media censorship that poses.

This disease, which is most often seen in young children, characterized by fever, malaise, nasal congestion, conjunctivitis, cough and a red rash and dotted with. Most people with measles recover without complications in a week. However, for infants, people with immune deficiencies, and other vulnerable populations, the consequences of a measles infection can be serious. Can occur rare complications, such as pneumonia, encephalitis, other secondary infections, blindness and even death.

In the year 2000, it was declared the elimination of measles in the united States, the not be observed sustained transmission of the virus for more than 12 months. Today, however, the united States and many other countries which had eliminated the disease are experiencing outbreaks of concern from measles. In an article published in the New England Journal of Medicine, these researchers remind us that measles can be prevented with a vaccine that is highly effective and safe. Every complication and every death associated with measles is a ""tragedy that is preventable that could have been avoided through the vaccination"", assures the authors. ""Some people are reluctant to vaccinate their children based on misinformation widespread of the vaccine. For example, they may fear that increase the risk of autism of your child, a falsehood based on a claim discredited and fraudulent. A very small number of people has a valid medical contraindication for the vaccine against measles, such as certain immunodeficiencies, but nearly all can be vaccinated with security"", they set out. When the levels of vaccine coverage decrease, the weakened umbrella of protection provided by herd immunity (direct protection that results when a percentage high enough of society is immune to the disease), it puts small children to non-vaccinated and immunocompromised persons in a situation of increased risk. ""This can have disastrous consequences"", warn. At this point, the authors describe a case in which a single child with measles infected 23 other children in a clinic for pediatric cancer, with a mortality rate of 21%.

MADRID, 12 (EUROPA PRESS) ""we're very concerned because, although we have a vaccine which is safe, effective, and affordable, measles remains a leading cause of death among children around the world and, unfortunately, Europe has not been saved"", commented the regional director of WHO for Europe, Zsuzsanna Jakab. For this reason, he has shown the commitment of his agency to work ""closely"" with the health authorities of all european countries affected by measles in order to control outbreaks and maintain a high vaccination coverage among all sectors of society. CHILDREN AND ADULTS NEED to BE ""FULLY IMMUNIZED"" is that, even though 37 countries in Europe have interrupted the transmission of this disease, having regions where vaccination coverage is low, the virus is spreading rapidly among the population that decides not to be vaccinated, those who do not have access to immunization and, among those who cannot be treated due to conditions of underlying health. Given this, the WHO has stressed the need for children to receive two doses of vaccine and that the adults that are not ""fully immunized"" or are unsure of your immunity status, to be vaccinated. The June 21, 2017 in Rome (Italy), experts of the WHO Regional Office for Europe met regional officials in public health, representatives of the Italian Institute of Health (ISS), and officials of the laboratory in measles and rubella, establishing additional strategies to improve vaccination coverage among adolescents, adults, vulnerable groups of the population and health workers.",2,"spain"

This outbreak, which has already affected 28 states, is the worst recorded in the united States since the year 1992 when detected 2.126 cases. Health authorities attribute it to the refusal of many parents to vaccinate their children because they believe, ""contrary to the scientific evidence"", that the vaccine can cause autism.

The Assocació Spanish Pediatrics (AEP) warned on Monday that a ""spectacular"" measles epidemic is affecting countries of the European Union such as France, Germany, Italy, Uk, Greece or Romania and, for this reason, babies under one year of age travelling to these destinations should get vaccinated before because you still are not protected against this disease. The measles vaccine is included in mmr -along with mumps and rubella - which is administered to babies for the first time to meet the 12 months, so that before this age children are not immunized against this contagious disease, whose complications can be serious and even fatal. However, the ASP has wanted to reassure the population through a press release. In his message, has made a series of clarifications. As well, sets out that, in Spain, the coverages vaccine are ""excellent"" and, therefore, ""the vast majority of the children and Spanish adolescents are protected against diseases such as measles"". Measles is a disease infectious-contagious own childhood caused by a virus, and the sign most typical is the appearance of spots Koplik spots (of bright red colour, centred by a white dot), high fever and cough very persistent, among others. The disease can be complicated especially affecting the respiratory system with laryngitis, bronchitis, bronchopneumonia and even pneumonia (in 6 % of cases), which is the complication associated with increased mortality. In this regard, the association reminds that it is ""important"" to meet the vaccination calendar of the autonomous community of residence, and therefore considered ""convenient"" check and check, between 1 and 2 months before starting the trip, that you have all the necessary vaccinations on the day. However, nuanced this is needed only in case of stays ""extended"". ""There is a difference between extended travel and tourism"". In these latter do not take special measures, but meet the immunization schedule of each autonomous community, In any case, alert is not recommended that children under the age of 2 years, and especially under the age of 12 months, to make sightseeing trips to tropical countries, because their vaccinations are still incomplete and the risk in some places is high.",2,"spain"

MADRID, 7 (EUROPA PRESS) The expert has spoken out as well after the notice of the World Health Organization (WHO) on the spike in measles cases that is happening in Europe because, as has been reported, in the year 2015 were produced 134.200 deaths from this disease all over the world. In addition, in Spain, outbreaks happen since a few years ago and, just this year, in Catalonia have been confirmed 41 cases since January, being the first imported case. Fortunately, vaccination has reduced the global mortality in a 79 percent between 2000 and 2015, which makes this vaccine one of the best investments in public health. That is why it has created a Strategic Plan for Global Measles and Rubella for the period 2012-2020. The target for the year 2020 is to achieve the elimination of measles and rubella in at least five WHO regions. However, and although this disease is rare in Spain, thanks to the hedges vaccine reached, SEPEAP has warned that some years ago, suffer periodic outbreaks of the same, this happens when the coverage by vaccination low of the 95 per cent recommended by WHO. 20% OF MEASLES CASES ARE PATIENTS WITHOUT VACCINATE In fact, 20 percent of the measles cases have occurred in people who had not received any dose of vaccine, while 41 per cent of those affected were unaware of their vaccination status. In addition, 24 percent of the cases in the outbreak in Catalonia for the year 2014 followed by contagion of one's own health. In particular, the contagiousness begins an average of 5 dais prior to the onset of the rash and remains 5 days after the same. Transmission occurs through coughing and sneezing of the patient, the average time of incubation is about 10-12 days. The first symptoms usually appear 10 days after exposure and the manifestation in the skin, 14 days after the same. The course of the disease is a clinical stages ""very well defined"": incubation, prodromal phase (catarrhal phase with the facies sarampionosa and the spots of Koplik), phase exantemática (maculopapuloso of the centrifugal type) and phase of decline (scaling skin). ""The measles vaccine is included in mmr (measles, mumps, rubella). In our environment, the children receive two doses throughout childhood, currently on vaccination calendar 12 months and 3-4 years.

"56012","The global epidemics have always caused a multitude of deaths, then to panic before the word epidemic. Since a few years ago, we are seeing measles, is gaining ground in Europe and it stretches very quickly, so fast that in a few months is going to seem unstoppable. Last year in Germany were recorded 309 cases of measles in the United Kingdom, 600 in Italy, 1,200 and in Romania almost 2,000 affected. Does this mean that we are before a new global epidemic of measles? Spain, for now, only recorded 39 cases last year, according to the World Health Organization, but it is not excluded that this year the numbers are higher. So far in 2017, the figures are no more encouraging. Romania has already come to the same figure as last year and in Italy are now over 1,600 cases. Also, now added Portugal to the list, which already has had the first loss, a 17 year old girl who died last 19 April in Lisbon. We have registered 21 cases of measles in Portugal, most of them children unvaccinated. This outbreak, without any doubt, it is very alarming to those in charge of the european health, because in Romania, in addition to registering a large number of cases, have killed 21 people by the measles. It is for this reason that one of the foci of attention of this epidemic is in this european country. But it is not the only country that is alert, Italy is also located within this circle since it is one of two countries most affected today. Many parents do not vaccinate their children because they think that measles is a disease of the past. Measles in Spain, According to the health experts and immunization Advisory Committee of Vaccines of the Spanish Association of Pediatrics, the risk in Spain is very low, though that does not mean that it is non-existent. This is due, mainly, to the high hedge in question of vaccination that is administered in Spain. For this reason the circulation of measles is very low. It is true that there is a very small percentage of children who have not been vaccinated against the measles, for different reasons, usually medical contraindications, but in general all children are vaccinated against measles. It is for this reason that outbreaks that occur in our country tend to be caused by adults. Yes, the buds have always been so small that they have barely made an echo. Measles is one of those diseases that just don't seem to, but yes. It is a condition quite acute that causes fever, cough, runny nose, conjunctivitis and spots in the skin. But it does not stop there, no. Can cause a secondary bacterial infection such as, for example, otitis media, pneumonia, and even diarrhea. In the most extreme cases can cause, over the years, subacute sclerosing panencephalitis and even cause death, as we are observing in the last days. So, What do you think of you? Are we facing a new global epidemic, or it will control? Let's hope that the second option is the one that reigns in this case.",2,"spain"
"56412","Measles is a disease caused by a virus that is very contagious and virulent. It is a benign disease in developed countries, which is expressed through the skin, with small red spots and general discomfort. Sometimes, especially in children under one year of age or in adults with compromised immune systems, can produce complications ranging from an otitis, a pneumonia, or, even, a disease the most serious so-called ‘subacute sclerosing panencephalitis’, degenerative, that does not have a curative treatment. In the poorest countries, is one of the diseases kills around 1.4 million people a year. In Spain, the incidence of measles started to decline as of the start of the universal vaccination, in 1981. In a few years the disease has decreased in a remarkable way, but, on the contrary of what has happened with other diseases, such as smallpox, it seems extremely difficult for its total eradication. In fact, in the five-year period 2001-2005 WHO was on the point of declaring the absence of indigenous transmission, which would mean that almost would have eradicated the disease, but did not do so and at this point in time speaks of the existence in Europe of an outbreak of continental measles. What has caused this outbreak? Reyes points to various causes: on the one hand, can be the result of what he called ‘measles imported’, ‘but this possibility would not be feasible or would the virus if there is in Europe an optimal coverage’, he says. Another reason target is the increase of the movements anti-vaccines, which are conducive to that in a disease with a contagion as high as in the case of measles, an unvaccinated child spread the disease to other children or adults, or have not been vaccinated for the first time, or are not available at the time of the spread of what is called ‘herd immunity’. ‘Before, when a child was suffering from measles, he wrapped himself in a blanket red to protect you. That did not protect the child, but not hurt him either. Now, there is a social movement that is committed to all-natural, with rejection of vaccines",2,"spain"
"58712","The Public Health Commission of the Ministry of Health, Consumption and Social Welfare is ""discussing"" with the autonomous communities to implement ""new measures"" in the Plan of Prevention against the Measles, according to clarified sources ministerial to Europa Press. The Ministry has reminded all who were born after year 1970, who have not been vaccinated or have not had measles, should visit their health center to be vaccinated. Do not need the vaccine those who have already contracted the disease at some point in time, for they are already immunized. This is provided for in the Common Schedule of Vaccination throughout life, adopted last November at the Interterritorial Council of the National Health System (NHS). These same sources point out that the Ministry is ""in accordance"" with the recommendation of the Spanish Society of Epidemiology (SEE) to vaccinate all persons who are between 40 and 50 years, as the advanced its president, Pere Godoy, in an interview with The Country this Friday. As noted by Godoy, it is ""more economical"" to vaccinate ""all"" the population in this age group, and the risk of vaccinating people already immunized ""is null"". ""Not only are we consistent, if not reinforcing one of the measures already included in the Common Schedule of Vaccination throughout the life"", have commented from the Ministry. In a report published on 12 August, the World Health Organization (WHO) found that the increase of measles cases in Europe which began in 2018 has continued in 2019, with approximately 90,000 cases reported during the first half of the year. This figure is already higher than that recorded for the whole of 2018 (84.462). Spain has recorded 233 cases of measles confirmed between 1 January and 21 July of 2019, which means seven more (226) than in the entire previous year, but all of them are imported or secondary, according to data from the Ministry of Health.

"60012"," The lack of cases in Galicia due to the fact that 95 per cent of the population is vaccinated against this viral disease, affecting Galicia, the last case of measles recorded was in 2013. At the same time, was the only one produced that year and, in addition, it is imported, a situation of apparent tranquillity on which, however, the experts claimed the importance of vaccination: ""we must Not let down your guard."" The World Health Organization (WHO) published this Monday a report on this disease that raised the alarm: during the first half of this year, some 41,000 children and adults have contracted measles in the european region. Up to now, the total annual highest cases of the disease between 2010 and 2017 was 23.927 last year, and the lowest, a few 5.273, in 2016. So, this year has already surpassed the record amount of infected people by measles since 2010, half of the year. These figures, however, do not affect still to Galicia, not to register any case from 2013, as reported by the Department of Health to Europa Press. However, despite this situation, experts like pediatrician at the Clinical Hospital of Santiago Lorenzo Rendondo urge to ""be on guard"" against this disease, raising awareness of the importance of vaccines. ""Measles is a problem that in Spain we don't see,"" said the pediatrician, in an interview given to Europa Press, recalling that, in the country and, therefore, in Galicia, are considered to be ""eliminated"" ailments such as measles or rubella, according to the latest evaluation of the European Commission Verification Commission for Measles Elimination and Rubella (RVC, for its acronym in English). In the same line as the experts, the department of the galician Government in charge of health management attributed the non-existent number of new infections from 2013 in the community the high number of vaccinations. ""FUNDAMENTAL STRATEGY"": VACCINES ""vaccines are one of public health interventions have the greatest impact on humanity"", as has been emphasized dr. Angel Hernandez, member of the Advisory Committee of Vaccines of the Spanish Association of Pediatrics (AEP). ""Today it is estimated that vaccination programmes to prevent between 2 and 3 million premature deaths by diseases vacunables each year"", according to has been affected. In this sense, Lorenzo Round has emphasized that ""the fundamental strategy to fight against measles is the vaccination of the population"". Dr. gallego remember that the level of vaccination has to be ""very high"" To ""at least 95 percent of the population has to be vaccinated ""in order to be effective the protection."" On the contrary, if you lower the levels of protection, there are ""more ease of transmission of measles,"" said Lorenzo Round, which is a viral disease ""highly contagious"" and that currently can be prevented thanks to a vaccine mmr --measles, rubella and mumps--, that we must receive a total of two doses. This is the situation of which who realizes at the european level. In Spain, the vaccination calendar states that the first vaccine should be received ""around 12 months"" and the second ""at around three to four years"", as explained by Lorenzo Round, something that meets the practical totality of the population. A LOWERED RATE OF VACCINATION IN EUROPE AT the european level, seven countries have suffered at least 1,000 infections in children and adults this year: France, Georgia, Italy, Russia, Serbia and Ukraine. This last one has been the most affected, with more than 23,000 people infected, which represents more than half of the regional total. In this regard, dr. Redondo has indicated that the problem in these countries, ""has reduced the rate of measles immunization"", but has stressed that ""there is appreciable risk"" on a personal level and that, at the level of public health, the strategy to follow in the medium term is ""to insist on the vaccination, both in children as in adults who have not received. Also, Angel Hernández has explained that the root causes of why they have lowered the coverage vaccine in these countries are ""several"". On the one hand, in some countries is due to ""social circumstances"". For example, in the case of Ukraine, there are ""open conflicts that hinder the population's access to basic services"" and, in others, it is due to the ""social exclusion of certain groups"", as in Greece and Romania. On the other hand, in cases such as France and Italy, where there are problems of access to vaccines, the causes are ""the ignorance, the indolence or mistrust on the part of the population to vaccines"". SPAIN, ""EUROPEAN BENCHMARK"" In Spain, at state level, ""in vaccines we are the leaders in Europe, due to high coverage and confidence"", as indicated by Angel Hernandez. So certifies to the WHO, which last September noted that in Spain the measles has been ""eliminated"". This means that the virus is not transmitted continuously for at least three years, as explained by the member of the committee of AEP. In addition, in Galicia, as pointed out by Lorenzo Round, over 95 percent of the vaccinated population. According to data of the Ministry of Health on hedges vaccine, in 2016, a 97.9 percent of children gallegos between one and two years had received the first dose of the mmr vaccine, while 91.8 per cent of children between three and six years old had the second. Despite this situation, the doctors remind you that having ""eliminated"" the disease does not mean that you cannot re-emerge and has remembered the outbreak that occurred in the north of Portugal, a country where the WHO had accredited the ""elimination"" of measles, but where in a month came to pass the hundred or infected. ""It IS NOT JUSTIFIABLE in A MORTALITY rate of PREVENTABLE"" Of the 4,000 infected in the european region, 37 people have died due to measles in these first six months of the year, which represents a ""alert in the field of public health"", as indicated by Lorenzo Round, as it is a disease that can be prevented. So, has emphasized that although this is a ""low mortality"", ""is not justifiable in a mortality rate of preventable"". ""You should not die no one by the measles, and it is in our hands, with a strategy of adequate vaccination"", has underlined, as is ""a vaccine is absolutely effective and safe."" In addition, Angel Hernandez has also underlined the effectiveness and safety of the vaccine and has declared that ""with a lot of, the benefits of vaccination outweigh the risks real, but extremely rare, the vaccine. By against, the risks of the natural disease are very important."" In this way, in a system of vaccination voluntary as the Spanish State, Lorenzo Redondo has pointed out that it is relevant, on the one hand, ""the awareness of the population of the importance of vaccination,"" and, on the other, the ""network of pediatricians and Primary Care nurses, who insists day-to-day in the importance of this vaccination"". ""PROTECTING GROUP"" as Well, if the majority of the population are vaccinated, it produces the so-called ""protective group"" or ""protecting the herd"", because the people who can't get vaccinated for medical reasons, such as chemotherapy and transplantation, and that have not done so for other reasons, shall be protected, as explained by dr. gallego. Although for this case, remember, the group is not vaccinated has to be small --not more than 5 percent of the population-- ""because if this number starts to be large, it begins to put in danger the population from the point of view of public health"", that is to say, from a vision to a global level of people and their health. ""The vaccinations, on the whole, is a social good from which we cannot afford to be without,"" concluded dr. Angel Hernandez. ",2,"spain"

The World Health Organization (WHO) is concerned about the resurgence of measles in Europe in 2017, with 35 deaths and 21.315 cases, a 400% increase over the previous year when it recorded a historical minimum with 5.273 cases. The increase is somewhat greater to that recorded by the Monitoring System of the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), which in a report issued last week alerted that the cases had tripled in the last year in the European Union, passing of 4.643 in 2016 14.451 in 2017, 160 of them in Spain. In the report of the WHO data are collected from the 53 countries that make up the european region, and warns that up to one out of every four countries (13) there have been large outbreaks with over 100 cases. The country most punished according to this report is Romania, with 5.562 cases (half of the 10.623 that identified the same year the ECDC), followed by Italy (5.006) and Ukraine (4.767). In addition, WHO regrets that these countries have suffered a decline of immunization coverage, as a result of interruptions in the supply of vaccines and the lack of coverage in certain groups are marginal. After them the countries most affected are Greece (967) Germany (927), Serbia (702), Tajikistan (649), France (520), Russia (408), Belgium (369) United Kingdom (282), Bulgaria (167), Spain (152), Czech Republic (146) and Switzerland (105), that also experienced large outbreaks, although many of them were falling at the close of 2017. ""Each new person affected by measles in Europe reminds us that children and adults are not vaccinated, regardless of where they live, remain at risk of contracting the disease and spreading it to other people who may not be able to get the vaccine"", has regretted Jakab, who urges all countries to include the eradication of measles and rubella among its priority objectives of Sustainable Development. ""This setback in the short term can not deter us from our commitment to be the generation that frees our children from these diseases once and for all,"" he insisted. To do this, the measures to stop the current outbreaks and prevent new ones must include an increased awareness of the population, the vaccination of health professionals and other groups of risk, or to improve the logistics and supply of vaccines to avoid stock-outs. WHO celebrates that by the end of 2016 a total of 42 of the 53 countries in the european region had interrupted endemic transmission of measles.

In a joint communiqué issued with the WHO before the start of the campaign, the ugandan Government highlighted that the number of children that will be vaccinated represented 43 percent of the total population of the country. Uganda has experienced outbreaks of measles in several districts of the country during the last three years, while the polio ""is still a threat, overwhelming"", due to the presence of strains of this disease in several neighbouring countries, according to the release. The minister of Health, Jane Ruth Aceng, stressed that ""this campaign does not replace the calendar routine immunization"".

Unicef draws attention to new outbreaks of this infection in all over the world, of which we have detected more than 110,000 cases at the global level in 2019, a 300 per cent more than in the first quarter of 2018. In 2017, according to the data of the organization, were killed 110,000 people because of the measles, mostly children, 22% more. ""The breeding ground for the outbreak of global measles that we witness today was established years ago. The measles virus you will always find children who are not vaccinated. If we really want to prevent the spread of this dangerous but preventable disease, we should vaccinate all children"", said the executive director of the agency, Henrietta Fore. Fore also called to not differentiate between children from countries with the greatest abundance of the most poor, since although the situation in the countries of lower incomes is severe, in those with higher incomes is getting worse. It is precisely in the neighborhood of new york has declared a public health emergency by the rejection of the orthodox community jewish to get vaccinated. To get an immunization against measles requires two doses: at the global level, the coverage of the first is 85 % and the second is 67 %, when the World Health Organization recommends a threshold of 95 % to achieve ""immunity"" collective. In the richest countries, the coverage of the first doses is 94 % in both the second floor up to 91 %, affected among others by lack of access, weak health systems, the complacency or the fear and skepticism regarding vaccines. The united states, which now have several outbreaks of measles in several states, is the country of high income, where most children did not receive the first dose of vaccine between 2010 and 2017, 2.5 million, far from France (608.000) and the Uk (527.000). For the countries of lower and middle income in Nigeria, 4 million children did not receive the vaccine in 2017, followed by India at 2.9 million. Unicef, according to its press release, is negotiating the prices of vaccines, helping to identify unserved areas, acquiring the inoculations and medical supplies, among other measures, in order to fight against the resurgence of this disease.

"8215","Measles may seem irrelevant, especially if you already vacunaste. But between January and April of 2019 have been presented many cases. In the united States have documented more than 700 cases in 22 states. It never hurts to know the symptoms What is the measles? Measles is a highly contagious viral disease, with 90% of the individuals exposed to it the contract, says Bruce Polsky, an infectious disease specialist. The doctors do not exaggerate about this disease. The virus can be in the air for up to two hours –even if the infected person is not there, says John T. Raffalli, specialist CareMount Medical Infectious Disease. What are the symptoms? Usually, the first symptoms are like the flu: Fever, Runny nose, Cough, Conjunctivitis (red eyes) Spots of Koplik (white spots in the mouth) Fatigue or discomfort, These signs and symptoms may appear two to four days before the rash, says Dr. Polsky, and can begin up to three weeks after the initial exposure to the virus. All of these symptoms, including the rash, appear from top to bottom of the body. You can also irritation in the throat and cough, persisting up to two weeks after recovery, according to Dr. Polsky. If not treated properly, can cause complications such as permanent brain damage, pneumonia, and damage in the ear. Hence the importance of the vaccine. What does the rash of measles? Measles creates a lot of red bumps. Appear first on the face and spread to the rest of the body, neck, hands, and feet. When someone with measles has this rash, you can get up by sneezing or coughing, from four days before to four days after appearing. How effective is the vaccine? The total number of deaths worldwide due to measles decreased by 84% between 2000 and 2016 thanks to the vaccine, according to Dr. Polsky. It is rare for someone to contract the disease if you took the full dose of the vaccine. The first dose is given between 12 and 18 months of age, and the second around six years. “If only you received the first dose, the percentage of protection that you will be 93%, approximately,” he says. “That's why we need a community with a percentage of immunity of 95% in order to obtain the protection necessary to interrupt its transmission”. Who is at risk? The people most at risk of contracting the virus are those who have not been vaccinated, as children under the age of one year and the people that only took one dose of the vaccine (since the second dose began to be recommended up to 1989), says Dana Hawkinson, md, specialist in infectious diseases. So people who were vaccinated before the nineties might need to take another dose. Those born before 1957, on the other hand, are considered immune to the disease since it appeared in America at that time, before the era of vaccines. What also am I at risk if I receive the vaccine? There are rare cases of patients who are infected even though they had been vaccinated, according to Caesar Djavaherian, co-founder, Chief Medical Director at Carbon Health. “We don't know why, but it may be due to immunity to the vaccine,” he says. This means that people who get measles even despite having been vaccinated twice have an immune system that does not respond to the vaccine. “Either way, it is likely that these people suffer less illness and that do not pass so readily to unimmunized people, as children and babies.” In most cases, if you already vacunaste you should not be concerned, although you could also do a blood test to determine your immunity to the vaccine. Even so, don't spend anything if you stay alert about the symptoms of measles, although if you took the two doses will have between 97% and 100% protection. The immunity from the vaccine lasts for a long time. “Also the vaccine of chicken pox, the mumps and the rubella are very effective. So the best thing you can do for you and your family is to get vaccinated,” says Dr. Hawkinson.

As a mother who has had measles or has been vaccinated against the disease is being transmitted, the so-called antibodies, which are part of the immune response to the fetus during pregnancy.

To be able to legislate on the type of vaccination is, therefore, not without reason. It is, indeed, an interference with the right of parents to control their children. However, parents have the right to refuse the right of children to critical care services. Vaccination is a preventive health care. At the same time, it is important to increase the trust in the healthcare system. By, among other things, home visits and personal contact is the child-health station in the World that managed to gain more and more new parents to vaccinate their children. Vaccinationsgraden has risen from 73 to 83 per cent, through the confidence-building efforts. In order to achieve the adequate level of protection at the level of the group, however, it is necessary to be 95 per cent are vaccinated. Otherwise there is a risk of the infection spreading. Vaccination is not a choice to eat a vegetarian diet, take vitamin D supplements, or other lifestyle choices related to health. Anyone who does not vaccinate their children, exposing others to the potentially life-threatening. They should not be allowed. Karin Pihl",2,"sweden"

"53914","Responding to the news that the UK Prime Minister has committed to improving declining vaccination rates, Dr Sheuli Porkess, Executive Director at the ABPI, has said that tackling vaccine hesitancy should be priority: “There is one area of science that is very clear. That vaccines work. They work so well in fact, that Public Health England says the only thing better for public health is clean water.  “The UK’s vaccination programme for MMR was so successful that in 2017 the World Health Organization declared that the UK had eliminated measles. So the fact that the UK has lost its ‘measles free’ status is disappointing. One reason for this is people not getting the second dose of the vaccine.  “The Prime Minister is demanding urgent action to improve the UK’s declining vaccination rates. Currently, only 87.2% of children have the second dose of the vaccine. Boris Johnson said he wants that figure increased to 95%. We wholeheartedly support this aim.  “We don’t need to look far to see the incredible impact vaccines have had. In 1948, there were almost 400,000 cases of measles in the UK, and 327 people died. In 1968, a measles vaccine was introduced and the number of cases and deaths fell dramatically. 1994 was the first year with no deaths from measles in the UK and three years ago, the disease was eliminated completely.  “But the impact of vaccines goes far beyond just measles.  “The meningococcal B vaccination programme, introduced in 2015, nearly halved cases of invasive meningococcal disease among eligible infants just 10 months after introduction.  “Since 2013, the rotavirus vaccination programme has resulted in a 77% decline in laboratory-confirmed rotavirus infections among infants compared to pre-vaccination years.  “And it was recently reported that the routine introduction of the HPV vaccine for 12-13 year-old girls in Scotland 10 years ago has led to such a dramatic reduction in cases of cervical pre-cancer in young women, that the elimination of cervical cancer in Scotland is on the horizon.  “So tackling hesitancy about using vaccines and addressing misinformation needs to be a priority so that the next generation of vaccines can have the same impact.  “Vaccines are set to help the NHS tackle some of the biggest public health challenges it faces over the next decade: tackling antimicrobial resistance by preventing infections before they start, preparing for health emergencies such as Ebola outbreaks, helping care for an ageing population and keeping people healthy from infections like flu.  “Our message is simple: Vaccines work. And it’s vital that we get this message to every community in the UK so that we can protect public health now and into the future.”",2,"uk"

"54613","Many children who recently starting school for the first time or moved up to secondary school can be vulnerable to catching infectious diseases if they are not fully immunised.  Measles is a highly infectious and very serious disease, it starts with cold-like symptoms that develop about ten days after becoming infected. A few days later, a red-brown blotchy rash will appear. This usually starts on the head or upper neck before spreading outwards to the rest of the body. The virus can be life threatening, leading to ear and chest infections, fits, diarrhoea and damage to the brain. Figures show an increase in cases across the country including Wandsworth.  Vaccination against measles is provided as a combined measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine that has shown to be both safe and effective. The full course of MMR vaccination requires two doses. The first injection is administered on, or within a month, of the child’s first birthday and the second injection is administered before starting school (three years four months old or soon after).  Children and adults who have missed, or partially completed, the MMR vaccination can have a ‘catch-up’ MMR vaccine through their GP. Often children miss out on the second dose for various reasons. You or your child will not be fully immunised against measles if you or they have not received both doses.  If your child has not received the MMR vaccine or missed the second dose this can be provided by your local GP free on the NHS.  The Wandsworth School Age Immunisation Team are also able to offer the MMR vaccine. Information on this will be included in the letter all parents and carers receive when their child is in Year 8 (for the human papilloma virus vaccine) and Year 9 (for the meningitis vaccine called MenACWY, and DPT for diphtheria, polio, and tetanus).  To give your consent for your child to receive the MMR, contact your school or request a consent form from the Wandsworth School Age Immunisation Team – email hrch.immunisationteammailboxwandsworth@nhs.net or call (020) 3903 3374.  The team is also running the following catch-up sessions :  December 19 and January 9, 3.15pm-4.30pm, York Garden’s Children’s Centre, Battersea  They will target Year 8 and 9 but will be happy to do vaccination for children aged one year plus and young people who have missed one or both of their MMRs.

They have now been accused of spreading misinformation about vaccines that may have contributed to an outbreak of measles in Europe that killed 72 people and infected more than 82,000 last year.  Duke University’s Professor Robert Califf, a former commissioner of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, has called for action to tackle the problem, Vox reports.  “Taking on the misinformation campaign about vaccines has become more complex now that research is demonstrating that a large amount of the social media posts represent state-sponsored cyberwarfare, particularly from Russia,” he said.  “We must join together to come up with effective methods to provide people with truthful, reliable, and actionable information about their health.”  Research from the American Journal of Public health found that Russian trolls “masquerading as legitimate users” are trying to erode public consensus on vaccination.  RECORD HIGH LEVELS  In 2000, measles was declared eliminated from the United States, thanks to widespread vaccination campaigns.  But the end of last year official figures from the Centers for Disease Prevention show measles cases had reached 220, up from 120 from all of 2017 and the 86 from 2016.

From spotting the signs to getting vaccinated here's all you need to know about the virus...  5 The UK has lost its measles-free status three years after the disease was declared eliminated in the country Credit: Alamy  What are measles?  Measles is a highly contagious viral illness that can be prevented by taking the MMR vaccine.  Because of the medical injection available, cases are relatively uncommon. But instances can spike rapidly if an outbreak occurs.  While the infectious condition often clears up in under two weeks, it can sometimes lead to life-threatening complications.  Although measles can affect people of any age, and we have seen outbreaks among university students, it is most common in young children.  5 Symptoms will normally clear within two weeks, but it's always important to notify your local GP if you think you have measles Credit: Getty Images  Instances of measles have been rising in the UK in recent years.  Public Health England says that between 2017 and 2018, the number of confirmed cases rose from 267 to 643.  The first quarter of 2019 alone saw 231 confirmed cases, and in August the World Health Organisation announced that the UK had lost its status as measles-free.  The UK originally achieved WHO measles elimination status in 2017, based on data from 2014-2016.  Health experts have said a rise in measles has been seen across Europe in recent years.  In 2018, measles reached an eight-year high across Europe, with more than 41,000 cases and 37 deaths recorded in the first six months.  France, Georgia, Greece, Italy, Russia, Serbia and Ukraine each had more than 1,000 cases in 2018.  However, data from the European Surveillance System suggest cases have now begun to decline, with France, Bulgaria, Poland, Lithuania, and Spain all reporting fewer cases in August 2019 than in either of the two previous months.  How is measles spread?  The illness is highly contagious and is easily spread from person to person.  Viruses can be expelled when an infected person coughs or sneezing.  These can then be inhaled by someone who comes into contact with droplets, which may remain in the air or settle on a surface.  Spending just 15 minutes with someone who has measles can lead to the disease spreading.  5 Symptoms will normally clear within two weeks, but it's always important to notify your local GP if you think you have measles Credit: Getty - Contributor  What are the symptoms of measles?  Approximately 10 days after the illness is contracted, signs become noticeable.

Distinctive red-brown blotches spring up on the body, typically beginning at the upper neck and spreading downwards.  Severe complications can occur, including miscarriage in pregnant women, brain swelling and the risk of death from pneumonia.  What to do if you think you have measles  5 The MMR vaccine prevents the spread of the virus, but there are still ways to seek treatment if you contract it Credit: Alamy  If you suspect you or one of your family members is infected, notify your GP to arrange an appointment.  Make sure to mention measles on the phone, so your doctor’s surgery can make necessary arrangements for you.  To reduce the risk of the virus spreading, avoid as much human contact as possible.    How is measles treated?  In the majority of cases, measles clears within a couple of weeks.  To help alleviate your symptoms during this time, it may be advisable to take some painkillers, such as ibuprofen or paracetamol.  Drinking plenty of water and getting some rest will also help the body to recover from the virus.  In severe instances, patients may be admitted to hospital for treatment.

The MMR vaccination is free for adults and children on the NHS.  To get your MMR jab, ring your local GP practice and ask for an appointment.  The vaccination is completed in two doses, which will be administered a month apart.  Babies under the age of six months can’t get vaccinated against measles.  The NHS recommends: “The best approach for children under six months is to try to avoid them having any contact with measles.  “It’s also a good idea to make sure the rest of your family have had the MMR jab, especially if you are planning to visit an outbreak area, as the greatest risk is in the household.”",2,"uk"
"56213","To curb measles outbreaks, unvaccinated adults should have the MMR jab  Vaccinating only children is no longer sufficient  By The Economist Thursday, 30th May 2019, 2:18 pm Updated Friday, 6th September 2019, 3:55 pm  A nurse gives a woman in American her first MMR vaccine. (Photo by George Frey/Getty Images)  Before a vaccine became widely available in the 1960s, measles was an inevitable childhood disease. The highly contagious virus came round like clockwork. Infection conferred lifelong immunity—but at the cost, each year, of about 500 deaths and 50,000 hospitalisations in America alone. In the decades that followed, routine childhood vaccination in Western countries made measles increasingly rare. In recent years, however, outbreaks have become more frequent, with no signs of abating.  The resurgence has been blamed on parents refusing to vaccinate their children or delaying jabs. But what has also become clear is that vaccinating only children is no longer sufficient. In 2013-17 between 33 per cent and 63 per cent of the annual measles cases in Europe were among people older than 14 years. In 2017 the median age for measles cases in Italy, which has frequent outbreaks, was 27 years.  'The average age of people susceptible to measles has crept up'  Sign up to our newsletter i's opinion newsletter: talking points from today Thanks for signing up! Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting...  A paper published in Science this month shows how this pattern evolved. Using historical data and statistical modelling, the paper’s authors find that as a country gets closer to fully eliminating measles, the age range of those who are not immune to the disease widens. Catch-up jabs, in other words, need to cover older and older groups of people.  The main reason for this is the accumulation of people who missed one or both of the two measles jabs that are routine for children. At the same time, falling birth rates have led to fewer and fewer babies, who are susceptible to measles until they are old enough to be vaccinated. As a result, the average age of susceptible people has crept up.  For a variety of reasons, some cohorts in a given country may be particularly prone to a measles outbreak when they reach a certain age.  One example in Britain is people born in the few years after 1998, when a fraudulent study linking a measles vaccine with autism scared many parents away from vaccinating their children. Now in their teenage years, these children are travelling abroad, including to countries with ongoing measles outbreaks. High-risk groups like these may become evident only when an outbreak sweeps through the population and the ages of those infected are tallied by health officials.  The MMR vaccine. (Photo: by George Frey/Getty Images)  A growing number of studies in recent years have tried to get ahead of the curve by predicting which age groups have the highest risk of an outbreak. They typically draw on data from health records and various surveys asking people about their vaccinations and socialising habits (to gauge how easily they can catch and spread the virus).  Adults can get the MMR vaccine on the NHS in the UK  Serological surveys, which measure antibodies in blood, are a particularly useful tool, but are not always available. Where they are, they have identified groups of people whose susceptibility to the virus is greater than those targeted by public health services for catch-up jabs—usually schoolchildren and university students, who are easier to cover with a mass vaccination campaign. In this way, a study in Belgium found that in 2013 those aged 20 to 30 were particularly susceptible. At the time, the government was prioritising jabs for 10-to 13-year-olds.  Why such studies matter is illustrated by outbreaks like one that hit a childcare centre near Antwerp, in Belgium, in 2014. An adult employee at the centre caught measles during a trip to the Dutch “bible belt”, an area with a high concentration of religious groups opposed to vaccines. Upon returning to work, the employee started an outbreak that infected 28 infants; 12 were hospitalised.  There is another developing wrinkle in measles vaccination policy. For several months after birth, babies are protected by maternal antibodies passed on while they are still in the womb. But inherited antibodies wane two to three months earlier if the mother was vaccinated than they do if she became immune after being infected by the virus.  One seemingly obvious solution would be to vaccinate babies earlier. The catch, however, is that the vaccine is not very effective in children younger than a year, so they would still need to have two boosters later on in life. At a time when many parents fret over giving their children too many vaccines, adding a jab that is only partially effective may be a tough sell.",2,"uk"

Which countries have had their measles elimination status revoked?  Measles eradication was the ultimate goal when health officials rolled out measles vaccines starting in the mid-20th century.

It can cause serious illness and can even be fatal. Vaccination with 2 doses of MMR is the safest way to protect children and young people.  The first MMR vaccine is given to toddlers at the age of 13 months and the second vaccine at around 3 years and 4 months before your child goes to school. MMR can be given to older children, teenagers and young adults if they missed their injections when they were younger.  Contact your doctor if your child needs an MMR vaccine. The vaccine is free. If you are not sure if your child needs an MMR vaccine, you can contact the GP practice to ask.  Measles is not just a little child’s problem. Teenagers, young adults and anyone who has missed their MMR vaccination can get measles. The first signs of measles are fever, cough, runny nose and red sore eyes. After a few days, a spotty rash will appear. It starts on the face and neck before spreading to the rest of the body.  If you think you or your child has measles:  Ring your GP practice for advice.  Please don’t turn up to the surgery, walk in centre or to accident and emergency without calling ahead. The doctor will make special arrangements to see your child so that if your child has got measles they won’t pass it on to others.

This is of concern as measles is a very infectious virus and the majority of the cases are in unvaccinated children.  “Measles can spread rapidly among communities if people have not been fully immunised. While most people who catch measles will recover completely within a couple of weeks, it’s important to remember measles can be a very serious illness that can leave permanent disability, and occasionally even kill.”  “MMR not only protects them, but also limits the chances of the virus spreading more widely, for example to children who are too young to have the vaccine and to adults who may be more vulnerable to the disease. MMR is a highly effective and safe vaccine.”  Measles is a highly infectious viral illness, so anyone with symptoms is also being advised to stay at home and phone their GP or NHS 111 for advice, rather than visiting the surgery or A&E, to prevent the illness spreading further. It is possible for anyone at any age to get measles and the illness can be more severe in teenagers and adults than in young children.  Measles symptoms to be aware of include:  high fever  sore, red, watery eyes  coughing  aching and feeling generally unwell  a blotchy red brown rash, which usually appears after the initial symptoms.  PHE advises people with symptoms of measles to:  Stay away from school, nursery or work until five days have elapsed after the onset of a rash.  Telephone your GP or NHS walk-in centre before attending so that arrangements can be made for you to be treated in a separate area to prevent spread to other vulnerable patients.  Avoid contact with people generally, but particularly babies, pregnant women and anyone who is known to have poor immunity to infection.

"57413","It has been announced recently that the World Health Organisation (WHO) has revoked the UK’s status as being “free from measles” following a rising number of reported cases and a decline in the number of children receiving the Mumps, Measles and Rubella vaccination (MMR)*  Although the virus was previously eliminated in 2016, there has been a consistent rise in cases, culminating in 231 confirmed cases of measles recorded in the first quarter of this year. Statistics show that only 87.2% of children are being given the second dose of the vaccination, a sharp decline from the 88.6% recorded in 2015**. It is only above a 95% vaccination rate that we can protect those who cannot be immunised for health reasons, through what is known as ‘herd immunity’ – i.e. preventing the spread of a contagious disease by having a sufficiently high number of people immune to, or immunised against, the disease.  As you are no doubt aware, the complications of contracting measles can be devastating. In the past couple of years, there has been a significant rise in the number of “anti-vaxxers” campaigning though social media, referencing the now discredited Lancet paper by Andrew Wakefield which linked the vaccine with autism. This is thought to have contributed to this current crisis, in addition to a general lack of awareness and a sense of complacency, according to WHO*. Worldwide confirmed cases of measles have soared to their highest rate since 2006, with other countries taking drastic steps to improve their compliance rates. This summer, the measles vaccination was made mandatory for children entering school or kindergarten in Germany. Parents will face fines of up to 2,500 euros if they fail to carry out these immunisations***.  Prime Minister Boris Johnson has announced that urgent action is being taken to ensure that all health leaders are striving to meet a 95% coverage of the population. Among the initiatives will be a communication programme from NHS England focusing on “catch-up” immunisations to include 10 to 11 year-olds, in addition to all 5 to 25 year-olds who have not received both doses. They will also task local immunisation coordinators to work with practices to increase uptake, focusing on hard-to-reach families.  This coming autumn, the Department for Health and Social Care will announce a strategy to improve vaccination rates. However, in the meantime, we are ideally placed in general practice to start making progress by informing patients about the risks of measles and encouraging our patients to book immunisations.

Issuing a specific warning, PHE’s West Midlands branch urged people planning to travel to the BBC’s The Biggest Weekend two-day bash, at Coventry, to check they have had the MMR jab.

"69513","The prime minister has urged urgent action to improve vaccination uptake after more than 230 cases of measles were reported in the UK during first quarter of 2019 following a small but steady decline in vaccination coverage in recent years.  It means that the UK has lost its ‘measles-free’ status with the World Health Organisation (WHO) – three years after the virus was eliminated in the country. The WHO have stated that in the first six months of 2019 reported measles cases globally are almost three times as many as the same time last year. Measles is now endemic in countries including France, Germany and Italy.  Boris Johnson has put forward a number of measures designed to improve vaccination rates, including for measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) and called for health leaders to renew their efforts to meet 95% for both doses of MMR. Currently just 87% of children are getting their second dose of the jab, which has likely contributed to the spread of measles.  What action can halt stop the spread of measles?  NHS England will write to GPs urging them to promote ‘catch up’ vaccination programmes for MMR for 10-11 year olds, as well as all those 5-25 year olds who have not had two doses of the jab. Other action includes:  Strengthening the role of local immunisation coordinators – healthcare professionals that promote vaccines particularly with hard-to-reach families. This includes supporting areas with low uptake and tailoring specific local interventions to under-vaccinated communities;  Addressing parents’ concerns about vaccines by updating the advice on NHS.uk specifically to address misleading information about the dangers of vaccines, by giving people NHS-approved, evidence-based and trusted advice on vaccines including through a new website;  Calling a summit of social media companies to discuss how they can play their part in promoting accurate information about vaccination; and  The Department for Health and Social Care – working with Public Health England and NHS England – delivering a comprehensive strategy to address the issue in the Autumn.  Boris Johnson said: ""After a period of progress where we were once able to declare Britain measles free, we’ve now seen hundreds of cases of measles in the UK this year. One case of this horrible disease is too many, and I am determined to step up our efforts to tackle its spread.  ""This is a global challenge and there’s a number of reasons why people don’t get themselves or their children the vaccines they need, but we need decisive action across our health service and society to make sure communities are properly immunised.  ""From reassuring parents about the safety of vaccines, to making sure people are attending follow-up appointments, we can and must do more to halt the spread of infectious, treatable diseases in modern-day Britain.""  Why are measles cases growing?  Measles elimination status means that the virus is no longer circulating permanently in a country. The UK achieved measles-free status in 2016 after three years of limited spread due to high vaccination rates, but measles has since been spreading slowly in the UK for over 12 months.  In the first quarter of 2019, there were 231 confirmed cases of measles in the UK. Many of these were acquired abroad with some onward spread in under-vaccinated communities.  The Department for Health’s strategy to be published in the Autumn is also expected to:  Ask the NHS to use technology to identify who may have missed a vaccination and make booking appointments easier, such as improved call/recall systems for those accessing immunisations, and more consistent use of these systems across UK healthcare to remind people of their vaccine appointments.  As part of the GP contract review, examine wider questions of improving GP capacity to allow additional immunisation appointments – while also asking NHS England to consider other settings outside of a GP for vaccinations.  Develop a major campaign with NHS England and Improvement, Public Health England and GP practices to support the importance of key vaccinations in protecting against potentially dangerous diseases.  Work with DFE to explore more ways in which students can be informed about their health and wellbeing including the value of vaccinations – plus enabling them to critically assess misinformation spread online about certain vaccines.  Can prevention green paper help increase MMR uptake?  This comes as part of a wider government drive on Prevention, following the publication of the Prevention Green Paper last month.  Head of Immunisation at Public Health England Dr Mary Ramsay said: ""Losing our ‘measles-free’ status is a stark reminder of how important it is that every eligible person gets vaccinated. Elimination can only be sustained by maintaining and improving coverage of the MMR vaccine.  ""Measles is one of the most infectious diseases known to man – only one person travelling back to an area with lower vaccination rates can lead to an outbreak. Anyone who has not received two doses of MMR vaccine is always at risk.  ""Making it as easy as possible for parents to access vaccines so that they can offer their children the best possible start in life is a priority for us, DHSC and for NHS England. Through our Value of Vaccines campaign we’ll be using all opportunities to remind people to get two doses of MMR vaccine – whether that’s new parents, school children or younger adults. This will be crucial to the UK achieving elimination status again in future.""",2,"uk"

At least 87,000 suspected measles cases have been reported in 23 of Congo’s 26 provinces since January, a 700 per cent increase compared with the same period last year, the country’s health ministry said.  The scale of the epidemic, likely to be the worst since 2011, has deepened a health crisis that has left Congo trying to contain three major disease outbreaks simultaneously.  More than 10,000 cases of cholera have been reported in the country since the start of the year, leading to 240 deaths.

"73813","Resistance as a result of concerns about the vaccine are partly to blame for the rise, health officials have said. The Centre for Disease Control has emphasised the importance of getting children inoculated against the disease and downplayed the risk of autism once associated with the MMR vaccine - a week after Public Health England (PHE) did the same. The CDC has recorded 971 cases so far in 2019.  The last time this figure was surpassed was 27 years ago - but the 963 cases were over a 12-month period. TCDC Director Dr Robert Redfield said: “Measles is preventable and the way to end this outbreak is to ensure that all children and adults who can get vaccinated, do get vaccinated. “Again, I want to reassure parents that vaccines are safe, they do not cause autism. “The greater danger is the disease the vaccination prevents.  Measles cases in the United States are soaring  “Your decision to vaccinate will protect your family’s health and your community’s well-being. “CDC will continue working with public health responders across our nation to bring this outbreak to an end.” Outbreaks in New York City and Rockland County, New York have continued for nearly eight months. If the outbreaks continue through summer and fall, the United States may lose its measles elimination status, which the CDC said would represent a huge blow for the nation and erase the hard work done by all levels of public health.  Wariness of the measles vaccination is partly to blame, said the CDC  The measles elimination goal, first announced in 1966 and accomplished in 2000, was a monumental task. Prior to widespread use of the measles vaccine, an estimated three to four million people became infected with measles each year in the United States, along with an estimated 400 to 500 deaths and 48,000 hospitalisations. Measles cases in England have more than doubled in the last two quarters, with 231 confirmed reports in the first quarter of 2019.

"1504","First of all, from the public to hide the real reasons for the current state. The mainstream media in this context, the chorus and uniformly attacked and the culprits identified neočkující parents (2). A hundred times repeated lie can then become a universally perceived ""truth"". Secondly will be the current status, and a local epidemic of measles likely maximum used to the escalation of psychological pressure on the public to get the vaccination, or revaccination of previously vaccinated persons, particularly health professionals. Although various alternative sources provide a more accurate and logical analysis of the issue (3), including reports that some of the serious facts are likely to have different explanations than the mainstream media (see, for example, 17 deaths in Romania (4)), the degree of concern and fear among the public has increased. In order to distinguish which information are actually trusted and which are rather a media nádstavbu, we turned to the minister of health Judr. Ing. Miloslav Ludvík, MBA., with a few questions. Mr. minister for us very quickly and helpfully conveyed the answers of the experts of the MOH of the CZECH republic. These questions and the related answers of the MOH of the CZECH republic present even with short notes. (The answers are being cut, their full text contains the attached document. (5)), Václav Hrabák chairman of the Company patients with násleky after vaccination, z. s. p -------------------------------------------- Question 1: By what percent has decreased in the CZECH republic in specific age groups, vaccination of the population against measles for the past 10 years? From the responses of the MOH of the CZECH republic: (...)the Survey vaccination coverage by age groups is, similarly as in many other states of the EU or other countries, subject to the control of vaccination coverage. Vaccination coverage against measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine was in 2006 in the framework of the whole CZECH republic 98,26 %, in 2015 then 93,46 %. From the foregoing it follows that between 2006 and 2015 there has been decline in vaccination coverage by almost 5 %. Comment: the Decline in vaccination coverage of 5 % applies only to a specific age group of children that have been monitored in the framework of the so-called administrative controls coverage. This is not a number that would apply to the population as a whole, which the media in connection with the so-called breaking the collective immunity dezinterpretují. Data from the administrative control of vaccination coverage vaccines MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) usually involve 1-2 years of children (6). Thus if the current vintages of young children vaccinated with MMR at roughly 93 %, but baby boomers born around the year 2006 were still vaccinated on the 98 %, the overall vaccination coverage of the population that the vaccination obligation is subject, with regard to the strongly proočkované older vintages, certainly higher than 96 %. Question 2.: They caused the current state and the local epidemic of measles in the opinion of the Ministry of health of the CZECH republic predominantly those parents who refused to get vaccinated against measles to their children? From the responses of the MOH of the CZECH republic: Among the main causes of the currently increased incidence of measles in Europe (...) include the decline in measles vaccination coverage below the necessary threshold of 95 %. (...) The reason for the occurrence of increased incidence of measles in the Moravian-silesian region is not refusal of vaccinations, but the fact that the disease spread between neočkovanými children, that because of the low age can't be vaccinated, further sick persons, which have not been administered a second dose of the vaccine, or occurred in a properly vaccinated with two doses of the so-called ""for"" immunity and subsequently to the infection of measles. Comment: Although the MOH of the CZECH republic first repeated widely spread by the media the thesis that the current incidence of measles in Europe can just drop in vaccination coverage (refusal of vaccination by parents), one breath denies that the same covered the current situation in the CZECH republic. All the reasons that the ministry of health explicitly identified as a reason for the current situation in the Moravian-silesian region, are the reasons different from an increase in the number of unvaccinated children in the population. In particular, it is necessary to distinguish between the very small neočkovanými children who still live MMR vaccines vaccinated could not be (children up to approximately 1.5 years of age), and children who have not been vaccinated from the decision of their parents. The general concept of the ""unvaccinated children"" this fundamental difference blurs and covers, which many media manipulative used and is still using. The public is channeled by the subconscious asociaceneočkované child = parent refusing vaccination. This ultimately prevents the understanding the real causes of the current state. Question 3.: How much % of the patients who received the measles, is (in 2017): A) persons not vaccinated that measles previously not, B) the person vaccinated that measles previously had, C) the person fully vaccinated; D) the persons partially vaccinated? From the answers of ministry of health: TO date 27. 4. 2017 was in the Moravian-silesian region reported measles for the 35 persons who have not been vaccinated, moreover, for 4 persons, which was administered one dose of vaccine and further at 37 people, which was the so-called ""for"" immunity. In the history of the sick is not recorded previous to the disease measles. Comment: This figure is very interesting. Unfortunately, he does not allow to distinguish how many of the 35 unvaccinated sick persons amounts to children who have been vaccinated could not be and how many people has not been vaccinated by the will of their parents (or refusal or postponement of the vaccination). From the content of the previous answers, however, can be believe that the vast majority of the 35 patients unvaccinated consists of very little children who have been vaccinated could not be. Thus, we can only estimate (from 93% coverage), that 32 of the sick children were vaccinated still could not be due to age and 3 sick children were not vaccinated from the will of the parents. The data provided by the ministry of health in each case show an interesting structure of the patients. It is because at the same time the composition of the risk population, from which most threatens the further expansion of measles to susceptible persons and children. The risk arising from children unvaccinated from the will of its parents is in the structure of patients very small (see fig). Question 4.: It is true that the county health department ordered hundreds of health professionals leave, it is mandatory to vaccinate against measles, the health professionals previously vaccinated or those who have measles naturally have experienced, was first detected presence/absence of antibodies against this disease? From the responses of the MOH of the CZECH republic: (...) the Vaccine was administered in the past vaccinated healthcare professionals, and taking into account the phenomenon of the so-called ""for"" immunity. Examination of the specific antibodies was the case with some health professionals done, but after the disease of the nurses on the ward the postpartum period there was an urgent need to prevent the emergence and spread of measles in this department, on which they are hospitalized unvaccinated newborns, and therefore in vaccinated health professionals was not prior to the application of the vaccine examination of specific antibodies against measles carried out. Comment: From the answers of the MOH of the CZECH republic is evident the hidden risk of vaccination, which is not in the mainstream media open discussion. This is a threat to small children fully vaccinated adults that have already ""vyvanula"" vakcinální immunity against measles. In times of a natural occurrence of measles this risk was negligible, because adults should have a permanent lifelong immunity just following measles in childhood. The failure of the original vaccine of ideas and optimistic vision in the long term no longer threatens the whole population, and it in a new way. These new rizkům can only defend other excesivními přeočkovávacími programs, and not only in children but also in adults. In the case of urgent need, as is evident from the responses of the MOH of the CZECH republic, they are basically all adults vaccinated persons considered ""vyvanulé"" and therefore at risk individual and will be mass-přeočkovávány. In this case, the přeočkovávání adults only covered selected groups of health professionals. No one but don't know how wide groups of the population may follow next and what kind of vaccinated disease it will be. The current vaccination of pregnant women against whooping cough (7, 8, 9) makes clear that in the case of the ""extinguishing"" of suboptimal long-term results and consequences of the printed circuit vaccination programmes it can be anyone. Question 5.: He agrees the Ministry of health of the CZECH republic to have been in a time of ongoing local epidemic vaccinated with the live attenuated vaccine persons who may already be measles infected and which with them could get in recent times to contact? From the answers of ministry of health: Emergency vaccination against measles (...) is the only effective measure to prevent the spread of this highly contagious disease. Of course, one cannot rule out the disease measles and in people who have been in the framework of the special immunizations made vaccine against measles, if they were already before the implementation of vaccination infected with the virus of measles. Comment: This seemingly marginal question and the answer to it, are more important than the public realizes. Vaccination of individuals already infected (the incubation period) is in many cases in history turned out as increasingly dangerous. In these cases, can the vaccination have a so-called challenge effect (10, 11). Thus lead to a worsened course of infection and cause more and more serious side effects. This fact probably has not been scientifically studied in vaccination against measles. What happens in case of sudden needs of the vaccination of health professionals is of the risk operations (at the time of the local epidemic), who may already be measles infected, no one knows, really. The incubation period of measles is quite long, 6-19 days. During the blitz přeočkovávání population of the type ""head-skelter"" at the time of the local epidemic of measles is obviously completely aside not only whether the persons who are vaccinated still have or don't have the antibodies, but also whether persons who are vaccinated who happen to be not infected and vaccinated would therefore certainly not be. This is another desperate manifestation of the management of the national vaccination policy. Question 6.: What is the current status of collective immunity of the population in the CZECH republic against measles? From the responses of the MOH of the CZECH republic: Vaccination coverage of 2 doses vaccine against measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine, according to the latest available data for a selected cohort of children born in 2012, the value of the 93,46%. Comment: the MOH of the CZECH republic number 93,46% inaccurately expressed the value of the collective immunity, but only in the population relatively recently vaccinated years children. The value of the collective immunity of the population as a whole, which only is essential for the dissemination and circulation of the pathogens corresponds to the proportion (%) of protected persons, which are not to infection of the susceptible. Does not match, therefore, the proportion (%) of vaccinated persons. Persons who are vaccinated a long time ago and even in large numbers may not be protected and can be susceptible – see, for example, the phenomenon of the ""for"" immunity. In theory, it can be said that even 100% vaccination rates can, under certain conditions, occur together with zero collective immunity and also a 0% vaccination coverage may be present together with 100% collective immunity. (Model can reflect, for example, over what is the value of collective immunity against nepřenositelnému tetanus in fully proočkované of the population.) The concepts of vaccination and collective immunity are unfortunately systematically, deliberately and manipulative confused. To speak truthfully about the condition and value of collective immunity to anyone of the defenders of vaccination especially, do not want.Important values and data are often unknown. In some cases, would then clearly support the thesis about the need to achieve collective immunity of the population and preventing its breaking and evidence-based medicine. Sources:",2,"czech"
"4431","7) Pelosi’s Strategy Is Working, and Trump Is One Step Closer to Being F*cked  I’ve been a deep skeptic of impeachment as a political strategy, putting me solidly in the Nancy Pelosi go-slow camp. I’ve argued time and again that the smart play is IIABN: Impeachment in All but Name, but the great beast of Washington shambles ever forward, its ponderous, inexorable tread leading it toward the inevitable impeachment proceedings against Donald John Trump, 45th president of the United States. Can you make an impeachment case for obstruction based purely on the released information in the Mueller Report? Absolutely. Are you there yet politically? Nope. […] This isn’t the Watergate era. Not a single Republican vote beyond Justin Amash can be guaranteed in the House, and the Senate landscape is entirely bleak. Until you can get to two-thirds of the Senate for a conviction, impeachment means nothing. For all that, the Democrats chomping at the bit to hold Trump to account are having a good week already, whether they know it or not. It’s so good, they’d be fools not to keep doing the things that are starting to work—the exercise of congressional power, the use of the courts to uphold the law, and the momentum building in the public mind for an accounting of Trump’s full-spectrum lawbreaking, contempt, obstruction, and corruption. […] The Pelosi-Nadler strategy is starting to shift that political battlefield, and the legal landscape is breaking in their favor. The judicial branch isn’t yet a wholly owned subsidiary of Trump, Inc. Yet. Trump’s own mistakes are helping move the investigation strategy forward and are beginning to ensure that when Congress does start getting testimony and documents from the White House and Department of Justice, Trump will have painted himself into a corner he can’t tweet his way out of. Even without impeachment proceedings on deck yet, here’s why this week is shaping up well for the Resistance. (Rick Wilson, The Beast)  Rick Wilson ist republikanischer Wahlkampfmanager und Autor von „Everything Trump touches dies„, weswegen seine Analyse immer aus einem anderen Blickwinkel kommt als wenn liberal-progressive Autoren schreiben, wie ungeheuer wichtig die jeweilige vernichtende Entdeckung über einen Trump Skandal de jour ist. Trotzdem bleibe ich skeptisch. Die nächste Wahl ist 2020. Der Senat ist fest in der Hand einer ideologisch eingemauerten GOP. Ich sehe schlicht nicht, welchen Effekt ein impeachment haben soll. Man kann natürlich darauf hoffen, dass Pelosi irgendein fünfdimensionales, hochkomplexes Politschach spielt, aber ich glaube eher, sie versucht sich zwischen lauter ähnlich unattraktiven Positionen durchzulavieren und auf Zeit zu spielen (nennen wir es mal das Modell Merkel).  Ich wage daher die Vorhersage, dass wenn nicht doch noch eine „smoking gun“ auftaucht, die Trumps Schuld in einem schwerwiegenden Tatbestand vor aller Augen glasklar belegt (so es denn eine gibt), wonach es wahrlich nicht aussieht, der politische Rückhalt für ein impeachment schlicht nicht existiert und es für die Democrats ein reines lose-lose-Szenario darstellt. Und ich kaufe auch nicht das Argument, dass man es alleine aus demokratiehygienischer Sicht tun müsse, weil ein erfolgloses impeachment genau den gegenteiligen Effekt haben kann. Ich denke schlicht dass Pelosi genau diese Kalkulation ebenfalls angestellt hat und keine realistische Option sieht als Trump 2020 durch eine Wahl abzulösen. Und da ist das hyperventilierende impeachment-Gerede eher wenig hilfreich.  8) Geheime Gefühle // Tweet von Florian Gathmann  Der frühere BND-Chef August Hanning vertritt die These, die Videoaufzeichnung sei eine „sehr aufwendige Operation, wie wir das eigentlich nur von Nachrichtendiensten kennen“. Der Videoclip von Hanning wird auf Facebook als Ergänzung zu Adams Artikel geteilt. Hanning erklärt die Motivation: „Offenkundig wird versucht, Wahlen zu manipulieren.“ Dann geht er in eine absurde Offensive: „Selbst gravierende Straftaten rechtfertigen keine Wohnraumüberwachung“, sagt er, und sorgt sich sehr um die „politische Kultur“. Ein Geheimdienstmann, dessen wichtigste Aufgabe sein sollte, Landesverrat zu verhindern und der dafür Abertausende Menschen hat abhören lassen – sorgt sich plötzlich um Wohnraumüberwachung? Exakt als es laut Ex-BND-Vize Adam um ein Verhalten geht, das „halb mafiös, halb landesverräterisch“ wirkt? […] Ja, tatsächlich – genau in dem Moment, als es wirklich um Landesverrat, um den Ausverkauf von Österreich geht, entdeckt ein ehemaliger BND-Chef sein Herz gegen Überwachung. Ich wette um meinen Irokesenschnitt, dass er linke Verschwörer niemals derart gnädig umpuschelt hätte. […] Auch der rechte Geheimonkel und frühere Verfassungsschutzchef Hans-Georg Maaßen ist perfekter Stichwortgeber für die FPÖ-Fans in sozialen Medien. Nicht nur, dass er „linke und linksextreme Aktivisten“ ins Spiel bringt. Er sieht den eigentlichen Skandal in der „Videofalle“ und damit offenbar nicht in den Äußerungen der rechtsextremen FPÖ-Führung. Das bedeutet: Bis letztes Jahr war ein Mann Chef des deutschen Geheimdienstes, für den die Vermutung über eine linke Videofalle größer ist als der nachgewiesene Versuch eines späteren Vizekanzlers, sein Land zu verraten und zu verkaufen. Zusammen mit seiner Einlassung über „linksextreme Kräfte“ in der SPD wird hier aus meiner Sicht überdeutlich: Maaßen lehnt die heutige liberale Demokratie ab. Er hätte nie Verfassungsschutzchef sein dürfen, er ist der rechtsextremen FPÖ näher als der harmlosesten Partei Deutschlands (SPD). (Sascha Lobo, SpiegelOnline)  .@HGMaassen in @bild, nachdem er die Arbeit von @DerSPIEGEL, @SPIEGELONLINE und @SZ kritisiert hat: „Wir sind es auch den Österreichern schuldig, aktiv an der Aufklärung der Hintergründe mitzuwirken, da deutsche Medien die Regierungskrise in Österreich mit herbeigeführt haben.“ — Florian Gathmann (@FlorianGathmann) 19. Mai 2019  In diesem Artikel finden sich noch sehr viel mehr belastende Informationen zu diesem Themenkomplex. Die Quintessenz ist die: Die Geheimdienste sind ein rechter Sumpf, ein Punkt, auf dem ich bekanntlich schon seit längerem beharre und der vor allem von Erwin hier im Blog massiv angezweifelt wird. Aber man muss schon extrem wohlmeinend sein, um all das als Einzelfälle und nicht systemisch zu sehen.  Es ist aber systemisch. Die Geheimdienste sind konsequent rechts ausgerichtet, begreifen sich als politische Akteure und untergraben Demokratie und Rechtsstaat, und das schon seit Jahrzehnten. Wie viel Verteidigungsreden wurden hier in den Kommentaren für Maaßen geschwungen, als er behauptete, das Video sei gefälscht gewesen? Ich habe damals schon gesagt, dass das bedenklich ist. Wie viele dieser Einzelfälle braucht es noch, bis es endlich zu einem Einsehen kommt?  9) Marathon im Fettnapf  Der größte Irrtum der zornigen Spötter auf Twitter: Natürlich kann man auch im Jahr 2019 ohne Kontakt zu sozialen Medien sinnvolle Politik machen. Aber nicht ohne Kontakt zur Wirklichkeit. Soziale Medien haben zwar den Diskurs verändert, der jetzt nach anderen Regeln funktioniert. Was auch den Furor vieler Traditionsjournalisten über Rezo erklärt: Sie spüren, dass ihnen etwas entglitten ist. Wenn man jedoch genauer hinschaut, war das Problem der CDU nicht, dass sie keine Ahnung von Social Media hat. Sondern – fast im Gegenteil – dass via Social Media klar wurde, wie wenig Ahnung sie von allem anderen hat, was die Jugend interessiert. Es geht nicht um das Medium, sondern um politische Inhalte, um das Fortbestehen des Planeten etwa. Aber auch um das Vertrauen, das die Union zerstörte durch ihre komplette Missachtung einer digitalen Generation, indem sie ohne Rücksicht, ohne Dialog, ohne Sachverstand oder auch nur Respekt die Urheberrechtsreform durchgeprügelt hat. Von Artikel 13 handelte übrigens auch das erste große politische Video von Rezo. Victory, Axel Voss, Victory. Das hat die Jugend politisiert. Jetzt betrachten sie alles aus der Perspektive dieses Verrats durch die Union. Und verwenden ihre Instrumente und ihre Reichweite für die politischen Themen, die ihnen am Herzen liegen. Digitalisierung und Klima, die beiden Großbereiche, in denen die CDU über eine Dekade im besten Fall wenig, im schlechtesten Fall gefährlichen Unfug tat. (Sascha Lobo, SpiegelOnline)  Ich bin immer noch beeindruckt davon, dass die CDU so gewaltigen Pushback von Artikel 13, Rezo und Co bekommen hat (und die CDU, ihrem blindwütigen Umsichschlagen nach zu urteilen, auch). Ich muss die entsprechenden CDU-Politiker hier auch ein wenig in Schutz nehmen. Ihre Strategie, diese Themen und Wählergruppen nicht ernst zu nehmen und sich auf ihre Kosten bei der eigenen Stammwählerschaft zu profilieren, hat Ewigkeiten so funktioniert. Es gab keine Anzeichen, dass es dieses Mal nicht wieder funktionieren würde. Und Leute wie Sascha Lobo, meine Wenigkeit und andere auf dieser Seite des Spektrums haben, ebenso wie beim Klimaschutz, ja jahrelang orakelhaft gesagt wie wichtig es ist ohne dass es wichtig gewesen wäre.  Umso interessanter fände ich, was da denn jetzt eigentlich diesen Umsturz gebracht hat. Beziehungsweise, warum, denn das „was“ war Artikel 13. War es einfach nur der Tropfen, der das Fass zum Überlaufen brachte? Oder interpretieren wir das immer noch über, und es geht schlichtweg um strukturelle Probleme der Volkspartei? Meine aktuelle Arbeitsthese ist, dass die CDU die unter 40jährigen schon seit langer Zeit verliert (strukturell bedingt) und durch Artikel 13 und Rezo das Ganze quasi sichtbar gemacht und brandbeschleunigt hat. Quasi wie die Agenda2010 für die SPD schon seit langem gärende strukturelle Prozesse offengelegt hat. Aber was meint ihr?  10) Measles for the 1%  Overwhelmingly white, affluent, and well educated, Waldorf parents identify as cultural creatives and nonconformists. […] Apart from certain religious or ethnic groups particular to certain geographic regions — pockets of the ultra-Orthodox in Brooklyn and Rockland, say, or pockets of the survivalist right — Waldorf kids have some of the lowest vaccination rates in America. In California, Waldorf schools, along with home schools, have some of the lowest vaccination rates — many as low as 20 or 30 percent, and some as low as 7 percent. […] How and when did liberal parents travel so far from Dr. Spock? The measles vaccine was approved in 1963, six years before Americans landed on the Moon, at a moment when technological progress was a joyride Americans took en masse. But in one generation, the kids of those Spock-raised kids have seemingly lost faith in progress and in the wisdom of the conventional wisdom, regarding every figure along that formerly congenial hierarchy — the scientists, the pharmaceutical companies, the government approvers, the politicians, even the wise and gentle pediatricians — as an object of suspicion and a plausible agent of the systemic harm that is being done, unconscionably, to kids. And in place of faith in experts, they have developed an alternative parenting culture built on anxiety about all the ills that might befall children (sickness, damage, death) and a sense that they, and only they, know how to protect the specialness, and purity, of their kids. To preserve that sanctity, parents have to begin to regard the material world — everything from movies to memes to vaccines — as contaminating. In some circles, at least, liberal American parents have evolved from emulating the Jetsons to emulating the Amish in one generation, always with the insistence that they’re doing it for the kids. (Lisa Miller, The Cut)  Der Artikel ist eine deutlich längere und ausfürlichere Reportage dieses Sub-Milieus als mein Auszug hier nahelegt, und ich kann ihn nur empfehlen. Wenn es einen Aspekt gibt am modernen grünen Bürgertum, der mich schier wahnsinnig macht und oft genug an der Partei verzweifeln lässt, dann ist es die irrationale Impfgegnerschaft (und, damit verwandt, die ideologisch-absurde Abwehrhaltung gegen Gentechnik).

The alarm launched in August by the Who, and shared by the Health minister Giulia Grillo underlined the need’ to leave required the measles vaccine, finds confirmation in the latest data provided by the ministry: in the first half of 2018, they will count the already 2.029 cases of infection in our Country. Are only seven european States to have passed a thousand cases. An eloquent bit of information, but also encouraging in comparison to the boom of last year when from January to July, there were even 4.080 infections.

Out of the 17 people who have died, 5 are derived from the Arad county, romania, 4 in Timis county, 3 in north carolina, and Caras Severin, and one, in the county of Satu Mare and Bucharest, romania. According to the same source, there have been cases of measles in 37 of the counties in the country, ""As a means of limiting the expansion of the measles, it has been organized and carried out a nationwide vaccination of children between the ages of 9 months and 9 years old,"" said the INSPECTOR. * The DOLJ county In the Dolj county, the number of cases of measles has reached 175, and three of the children are sick, have died, according to the situation of the measles, carried out by the National Centre for Surveillance and Control of Communicable Diseases at the onset of the disease, and up to the 10th of march.

""At the level of the county Dolj, the cases of measles are on the decline. The number of measles cases confirmed since the outbreak of the epidemic at the national level is 175, out of which three deaths occurred. All of the children who got sick were not vaccinated due to various reasons: either because the vaccine was not indicated because of disease or because the parents have refused, or have not been vaccinated because they were out of the country. Last week, they came in ten other cases,"" said dr. Stephen Smith. The president of the Society of Doctors for the Family of her first husband, dr. Adriana Dogaru, told REUTERS that at the county level, the coverage of vaccination is very, very good, about 95% of the patients, and in those who did disease, or have not had the chance to be vaccinated or were not vaccinated due to certain medical reasons, or because they were turned down. ""Last year, in Dolj county there were no cases of measles, and that the only explanation for this is that it has expanded the areas in which vaccination coverage is lower due to the opposition of the parents. I, as a practitioner I have not had a single case of measles. I've had a couple of kids, a brother and sister, 4 and 5 years whose parents had chosen not to vaccinate because they don't know what they had read about it on the internet.

However, in the communities of roma, we have an activity for the vaccination of very, very slow, and I don't have too much of a positive response on the part of the parents and grandparents who live with their children, plus the conditions of hygiene and sanitation, which favours the transmission,"" said Lydia, Tămaş. According to her, the little girl of one year and nine months, dead due to complications, she was taken too late to see the doctor. The other 18 are still in hospital, but there are more serious cases. ""The little girl had a form of measles in the incubation period, he has had no contact with her siblings who have already been treated, four of them were hospitalized. The little girl had been at the hatching, he's probably made it more severe. She wasn't there to see the doctor, even though the members of the family that have been there for my appointment, I told my family doctor that the girl had not taken her in for a consultation. He ended up in the emergency room, in a very, very serious, and it turns out that it was obsolete, in the sense that he has had a complication, bronchopulmonary, and he couldn't do much to it, unfortunately. It was probably the fact that you don't get a quick appointment, he was a negative element in the progression of the disease,"" she explained to Lydia, Tămaş.

According to the source, at the county level has been recorded up to the present, the coverage of vaccination with SUPPORT (measles, rubella, mumps) in excess of 70%, and a vaccination campaign is continuing. At the beginning of the month of February, 2017, the prefect of Brasov, mr. Ciprian Băncilă, he made a phone call to the parents who have not vaccinated their children to take part in the national immunisation programme, and to co-operate with the doctors of the family, to have healthy children. The number of doses of vaccine that SHOULD be on the practitioners in the municipality of residence in the county, it is 2.027, and the one in the DSP, there are a number of 121 the dose, requiring a further to the Ministry of Health in the month of February for that. In regards to the vaccine, Hexavalent, the number of doses existing in the area is 1.141, and the one in the DSP, there is a total of 1,400 doses . * ALBA-the Number of measles cases in march, in White county, is 17 more than there were last year, when the disease has appeared only in the summer, i.e. in June, at the turn of the roma community from Rosia Montana. A spokesman for the department of Public Health (DPH), Alba, Dragos Suciu told AGERPRES that in march, I'm 17 and sick of the measles, it's pointing out that there is no outbreak, but rather in isolated cases. In comparison, during the year past, there have been nine cases of measles within the county. In the city of Alba have not been recorded cases of death due to measles. According to the source, the DSP, the White drop, in December, the campaign to limit the expansion of the epidemic of measles on the context in which the number of cases has increased to the level of the whole country. ""So, we have carried out campaigns of awareness and containment of the cases, existing in all communities in the county. Regularly keep in touch with the doctors of the family and we make sure that their own stocks are sufficient. I have encouraged vaccination. In comparison with the surrounding counties, in tennessee, were the best performers,"" said the spokesman. In the DSP, the White is close to 500 doses of the vaccine, the MMR. And practitioners have about 2,000 doses of vaccine against measles, he said, The Suciu. The first cases of measles have occurred this past year in the city of Alba, in the summer. Then, there have been registered three cases of measles, all of them in June, in the framework of the roma community in the village of Dăroaia, in the commune of Roşia Montană, in children who have not been vaccinated against the disease. In September 2016 there has been a outbreak of measles in the town of Abrud, and in turn, some of the children who took part in a prayer meeting, at which were present, and to vote at, a child care center out of Wisconsin who are diagnosed with this disease. Only one of the six minors of the Source has not been vaccinated against measles. At that time, the executive director of the DSP, White, Alexander, deep down, he is of the opinion that in this situation, the nevaccinării of the children, it would be probably caused due to the ""loss of trust and confidence of the parents on the benefits of the vaccine, a refusal to consent to the administration of the vaccine, and a possible migration of population groups for long periods of time in the countries of the European Community"". * SUCEAVA, Suceava county there has been no case of measles since the beginning of this, and so far, he said, over the years, the assistant of the department of Public Health (DPH), Suceava, epidemiologist June Zorescu. The deputy DSP in Suceava that you will make it clear that, in the course of the past year, the district reported 61 cases of infection with the measles, but there was no record of his death. At the same time, Zorescu has shown that, in the first two months of the year 2017, have been vaccinated antirujeolic 4.165 children, of whom more than 60 per cent, were of children who. The deputy DSP in Suceava, he said that the number of children vaccinated was recorded in the age groups of 7 and 5 years old, 1.342, respectively 1.232 children, followed by children up to the age of one year, or 1.208. At the same time, they received a total of 383 children in the age group of 9 to 11 months. ""The number of children immunized has increased significantly in the wake of the campaigns to promote the vaccine. Before that it was about 60 per cent,"" he said, Zorescu. * SIBIU-the Number of cases of measles has increased four-fold this year compared to last year, mostly due to the nevaccinării, according to the department of Public Health for the County of Sibiu. At the beginning of the year, and so far they have recorded 18 cases of measles, compared to four cases in 2016. There have been recorded deaths due to this disease.

The citizens ' trust in immunisation is an important global health issue as the lack of trust leads people to reject possibly life-saving vaccines.

Panic-stricken parents of the infant have been asked to introduce the baby in the same chamber, as well as even because of his age had not been vaccinated for measles. The answer I received from the doctor was that ""we're doctors, and judge who will get the baby."" The result was two days after the baby develops a high fever and just 24 hours later to be deformed by the rashes.

"59014","Measles destroys in the long term our immune system and makes us vulnerable to other infections. The measles virus deletes a part of the memory of the immune system with the result that we lose the ""immunity"" that we have developed in the face of infections that have already passed and so the immune system returns to a baby stage, reveal new research data. In particular, two studies conducted in non-vaccinated children in the Netherlands showed that on the one hand, this removes a part of the memory of the immune system after infections and, on the other hand makes children more prone to new infections. The findings were published in scientific journals ""Science Immunology"" and ""Science"" explain why children develop other infections after measles and emphasize the need for vaccination of children. It was found that, after the measles, the antibodies of the children decreased from 11% to 73%. ""We found strong evidence that the measles, in fact, destroys the immune system,"" said Steven <U+0395><U+03BB><U+03BB><U+03AD><U+03C4><U+03B6>, a geneticist in the faculty of Medicine of Harvard University, and author of an inquiry and added: ""The threat of measles is much greater than we thought"". Measles affects worldwide more than 7 million people each year and causes more than 100,000 deaths. The reduction in vaccination rates has resulted in approximately 300% increase in cases of measles by the year 2018. Britain in fact is no longer ""free from measles"" because of the fall of immunity to measles, mumps and rubella. There is a need to be covered at least 95% of the population in order to prevent outbreaks of these diseases. Among children aged two years in Britain, the vaccination rates fell from 91,2% in 2017-2018 to 90,3% in 2018-2019, which is the lowest recorded rate since 2010. Measles causes a cough, redness and fever, is very contagious and the virus can be spread by coughing, sneezing, and even exhaling. From the moment the virus enters the respiratory tract, penetrates the cells of the immune system that are located on the surface between the lung and circulatory function. From there, the virus multiplies and spreads to the cells of the immune system throughout the body. To date, the investigators have reason for long-term effect of measles on the immune system since they were recorded many deaths from other infections that follow measles, but also due to the fact that the virus affects directly the immune system. In the first recent research on the issue, which was conducted by the <U+0392><U+03B5><U+03BB><U+03AF><U+03C3><U+03BB><U+03B1>ß<U+03B1> Petrova of the british institute of ""Wellcome Sanger"" and the University of Cambridge, it seemed that the measles corrode two different sides of defense of the immune system. In this context it was gathered volunteers from three different schools in the Netherlands to participate in the survey. The researchers took blood samples from healthy non-vaccinated children aged from 4 to 17 years of age and attended the course together with this 77 of children who were infected with the virus of measles to the outbreak of the disease in 2013. To deal with the infections the immune system is based on the continuous pumping of a wide variety of immune cells, each of which with slightly different receptors on their surfaces, with the capacity to recognize virtually any pathogen. ""The greater variety of immune cells we have, the better,"" said Petrova. It was observed that, after the measles, the children were much more limited variety. The immune system creates memory cells that remain in blood circulation allowing the body to quickly recognize and eliminate infections with which it has been faced in the past. However, after the measles, it appeared that many of the memory cells of the immune system no longer existed in the blood of children, a situation which the researchers called ""immune amnesia"". This may mean that children who contract measles need to <U+03BE><U+03B1><U+03BD><U+03B1><U+03B5>µß<U+03BF><U+03BB><U+03B9><U+03B1><U+03C3><U+03C4><U+03BF><U+03CD><U+03BD> for diseases for which they have already been vaccinated. The children were monitored by the researchers for about six weeks, so it was not clear how long it would take the immune system to return to its normal function. The Petrova suggesting that it takes about five years for a full recovery. The <U+0395><U+03BB><U+03BB><U+03AD><U+03C4><U+03B6> with its own research team, using a tool called VirScan (this is a tool that the <U+0395><U+03BB><U+03BB><U+03AD><U+03C4><U+03B6> and his colleagues presented the 2015, this detects all viruses that have infected a person, using only one drop of blood. The VirScan can detect antibodies against HIV, influenza, herpes and hundreds of other viruses), examined the antibodies in the blood and found that 11% to 73% of the antibodies were eliminated after the measles. The triple measles - mumps - rubella (MMR) does not create immunosuppression, with the result that it protects lifelong from measles, without, however, causing vulnerability to other diseases. The Petrova stated that the treatment of doubt about vaccines is a complex task and underlines the need for constant provision of adequate reliable scientific findings about the importance of vaccines, Jonathan Bal , professor of molecular biology at the University of Nottingham, stressed that the results of the investigations in combination with the decreasing trend in vaccination in the last few years remind us how important is immunisation not only for the prevention of measles and for the prevention of subsequent complications.",2,"greece"

In addition, because there has not been any outbreak of the disease since 2003, many young people have not developed immunity. The percentage of undernourished children in Madagascar is also one of the highest in Africa, as it reaches 47%. This means that it increases the risk for serious complications from measles, which can lead even to death. Last year alone it is estimated that measles claimed the lives of 136.000 people all over the world.",2,"greece"

Also proposed various measures to make the assessment of the safety of vaccines more transparent and ask for more communication and awareness campaigns to combat the false information on vaccination, in particular on the internet. In accordance with the resolution, the vaccination prevents about 2.5 million deaths a year worldwide, and reduces the cost of treatment associated with the disease, including antibiotic therapy. Meps note that there were 215.000 cases of vaccine-preventable diseases (VPD). Meps are in favour of the creation of a real and epistemological dialogue with the civil society, in order to combat the unreliable, misleading and non-scientific information about vaccination. Meps point out that the vaccines should continue to be strictly controlled in tests of multi-stage and reviewed regularly. Welcome the imminent launch of a joint action, which is co-financed by the European Union programme for health, for the increase in the number of people who have been vaccinated. However, meps call for greater transparency in the production and evaluation of vaccines and of the auxiliary the substances, in the financing of independent research programmes and to the potential side effects of vaccines, in order to restore confidence in the vaccination. They also point out that researchers must report any conflict of interest. You will also need to lifted the confidentiality of the deliberations of the evaluation committee of the European Medicines Agency (EMA), and published most of the scientific and clinical data.

From 1 January 2018, have been reported with seven deaths in 4 countries – Romania (3) Italy (2) Greece (1) France (1). Before the introduction of the vaccine in the early 1960s, the measles – a highly contagious virus that is spread by the air or contaminated surfaces – killed 2.6 million people each year. The 2016 caused the death of 89.780 people, which is the smallest number of deaths caused by measles until today. The most effective measure for the prevention of the spread of measles is to ensure that 95% of the population is vaccinated with two doses of measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR).

They believe the vaccinations may be harmful to children What is measles measles is a respiratory, contagious disease caused by a virus that belongs to the group of paramyxo. The disease of measles and the virus that causes it have the same name. The measles virus normally grows in the cells that are in the back of the throat and lungs. The disease is caused by the measles virus and it's transmitted by air by breathing, coughing or sneezing. The measles have high infectivity and can be transmitted from the person who has been exposed to the disease in another, four days before until four days after appearance of rash. The incubation period of the disease is 9-12 days (in rare cases it may take even 20 days. Measles is so contagious that if one person is ill, 90% of the people who are in close contact with that person and are not immune to measles will become infected with the measles virus. The measles virus lives in the mucus of the nose and throat of the infected person. When the person coughs or sneezes the droplets sprayed in the air and is transmitted in the nose and throat of others as they breathe, or through the hands that touch the nose or the mouth, while before they have touched contaminated surfaces with droplets of the measles virus. The virus lives on contaminated surfaces for more than two hours. Epidemiological evidence of measles is rare in countries and regions where the vaccination coverage against measles is high, but is endemic (permanently increased frequency of individual cases of measles in an area) in many parts of the world and in countries that do not apply systematically the vaccine of measles, and may occur in epidemics (many cases in most areas) every 2-4 years. How is it manifested, the disease – Symptoms The symptoms of measles appear 7-21 days after infection of the person with the virus and include: macular rash all over body fever cough rhinorrhoea eye redness and tearing, feeling of weakness, tiny white spots with <U+03C5><U+03C0><U+03BF><U+03BA><U+03CD><U+03B1><U+03BD><U+03BF> – white center located in the center of the mouth (Koplik's spots) A typical case of measles begins with moderate fever, cough, rhinorrhea, eye redness and irritation in the throat. Two or three days after the onset of symptoms may occur tiny white spots in the mouth. Three to five days after the onset of symptoms occurs red rash on the body. The rash usually first appears on the hairline of the face and diffuses (moves) towards the neck, trunk, hands and feet. When the rash appears the fever may reach up to 40o C. After a few days the fever subsides and the rash fades.",2,"greece"

Sotiris <U+03A4><U+03C3><U+03B9><U+03CC><U+03C1><U+03B4><U+03B1><U+03C2>, professor of Pathology and of infections states that ""reinstated the immunity of children in a situation of this baby much more susceptible to infections, have lost the ability to respond to stimuli from other germs"". The immune system creates memory cells that remain in blood circulation allowing the body to quickly recognize and eliminate infections which had been faced in the past. With measles, some of these cells are destroyed. The vaccination for measles is necessary. The Professor emerita of Pediatrics, Maria Theodoridou stresses: ""Side benefit of vaccination for measles is to reduce morbidity and mortality from other infections"" measles affects worldwide more than 7 million people each year and causes more than 100,000 deaths. The reduction in vaccination rates has resulted in approximately 300% increase in cases of measles by the year 2018. Source: <U+0395><U+03A1><U+03A4>1 Share the article:",2,"greece"

Greece is one of the countries with zero cases and vaccination coverage of 97% for 2015 in children 13-24 months of age, on the basis of the data.

This movement appeared in the 1990s, when it published a study that linked the triple MMR vaccine (measles, mumps, smallpox) with autism. The research has proved to be a fraud, and the doctor who drew, Andrew Wakefield, lost his license in Britain. The Wakefield had published a survey of 12 children with anomalies of the gastrointestinal system, 9 of which are supposed to have experienced a “palindrome autism” within 14 days of vaccination with MMR. The Wakefield was hired by a lawyer named Richard Barr two years before the conduct of the research, taking as a fee an amount of 150 pounds at the time, to build a case against MMR, hoping to cash in from the massive lawsuits of parents of autistic children that will ensue On the other hand, the Wakefield wanted to promote his own measles vaccine as a competitor of the triple MMR.

Germany passed a law which obliges parents to declare the vaccines that children have done when they go to kindergarten, and has established a fine of 2,500 euros for those who do not vaccinate, while Italy has made it mandatory 12 vaccinations. The Italian government paid off the reduction in vaccination rates in the “dissemination of anti-scientific theories”, such as that of Wakefield. In Greece, according to the CDC, the central point of the strategy for prevention of measles is vaccination. The vaccine is released, containing live, attenuated measles virus that is grown in chick embryo cells. The vaccine is recommended to be done subcutaneously in two doses, at the age of 12-15 months and 4-6 years of age, and in every case it is better to be given in the form of <U+03C4><U+03C1><U+03B9><U+03B4><U+03CD><U+03BD><U+03B1>µ<U+03BF><U+03C5> (measles-mumps-rubella) or <U+03C4><U+03B5><U+03C4><U+03C1><U+03B1><U+03B4><U+03CD><U+03BD><U+03B1>µ<U+03BF><U+03C5> vaccine (measles-mumps-rubella-varicella).

According to mr Terzidis, low vaccination coverage, especially in socially excluded groups, and the generalized epidemic in Europe and more specifically in nearby countries, such as Italy and Romania, are the main causes of an outbreak of measles that has been observed this year in our country. It considers, however, that because of the early conditioning will not have the upsurge observed in other european countries , such as Romania, where they have recorded about 10,000 cases, and from what ""seems it will be kept low"", he says.

"74614","1 Shares Share Tweet The low vaccination rates in the U.S. have significantly increased the risk of developing the measles outbreak in twenty-five states, according to scientists. Researchers at the University of Texas at Austin and the Johns Hopkins University spotted the 25 states that are most at risk from the onset of measles due to low vaccination rates and they're talking about potential deaths, especially of infants, for the first time since the 1980s, and the elimination of the disease. From January 2019, have been detected more than 700 confirmed cases of measles in 22 states – almost double the number from last year and the highest number reported by the eradication of the virus in the United States in 2000. In an article published in the scientific journal ""The Lancet Infectious Diseases"", the researchers warn that the epidemic will worsen, identifying the 25 states that are most at risk from the appearance of the virus. The analysis examined the volume of international movement of a region from foreign countries with large outbreaks of measles and the prevalence of non-vaccination during childhood. As mentioned, the lead author of the study, Sahotra Sarkar, a professor of Philosophy and Biology at UT Austin, and an expert in Public Health, most experts believe that there will be one to two deaths per 1000 cases, probably infants. ""We are prepared to see over 1,000 cases in the U.S. in 2019. For the first time since the 1980s, we'll be dead from measles in the U.S."" he stressed and added that, the avoidance of vaccination is a critical public health issue both in The.E.A. as well as in Europe. The results show that the journey of the virus from region to region is a big risk. The Sarkar and his team analyzed the risk of measles in areas such as Washington, Oregon and New York, which are already facing large outbreaks. In addition, 30 of the 45 counties that have reported cases of measles to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention were included in the list of 25 states high-risk. The science team recommends that the managers of the Public Health as well as those responsible for the formulation of policies, strategies to give priority to the monitoring of the states of those who know they are at high risk and have not yet reported cases, in particular those that are adjacent to countries with ongoing outbreaks and those that host major international airports. The associate professor of Civil Engineering Sciences at the Johns Hopkins university, Lauren Gardner, reported that the areas with the greatest difficulties that have not yet reported cases are those that are close to international airports, such as Travis County in Texas, the county of Honolulu, the Salt Lake County and several counties in Florida. The study showed that travel from countries such as India, China, Mexico, Japan, Ukraine, the Philippines, and Thailand seem to be most at risk for the measles. The.E.A. there have already been cases of measles imported from the Ukraine, the Philippines and Thailand in Addition to the study, the researchers propose to apply risk analysis and to other diseases that can be prevented by vaccination, such as mumps, rubella and pertussis (whooping cough), and should be used to inform policy on Public Health in an era where the rates of non-vaccination are increasing more and more. The problem of avoidance of vaccination is not limited to measles, as pointed out by Sarkar. Whooping cough is a disease that returns because of a drop in vaccination rates and provide for severe outbreaks in The us.E.A. in the near future. As he said, policy makers must focus on the centres of refusal of the vaccination as well as in areas with a large influx of passengers from countries that have outbreak of viruses.",2,"greece"

""The cases reported are imported, not to be cases of measles that originated in Greece"", states to ana-MPA, Maria Theodoridou, professor emerita of Pediatrics university of ATHENS, president of the National Committee on Vaccination and considers that the wording of the World Health Organization that, on the basis of the data for the 2018 ceases to consider Greece a country where the disease has been ""eliminated"", leading to ""erroneous impression that we have an epidemic in office , which is not the case as the epidemic is in decline"".

Increase of vaccinations in Accordance with mrs Theodoridou has become an important effort in the direction of awareness and vaccination coverage of vulnerable groups of the population. ""We are in a very good way, so we did the kids at least, but adults may have been vaccinated at a high rate and has been covered and a significant proportion of Roma"", and as stated to ana-MPA mr. Theodoridou, ""here is the weak link and that's why the efforts of surveillance, information, and vaccinations are continuing"". The Teacher stresses that despite the increase of vaccinations observed, ""we have not reached the point where we are satisfied, especially with regard to the vaccination coverage of vulnerable groups such as the Roma , because the majority of the incidents in Greece related to young children belonging to the Roma. All the effort has to remain in the vaccination coverage of these populations, who do not go themselves to the doctor, have the doctor to go to to them to vaccinate,"" she says. Mrs Theodoridou explains that from the start of an outbreak, measures have been taken for their vaccinations, not only children but also adults and the first was the modification of the shape of the two-dose vaccination in children, i.e. the first dose is now given at the age of 12 months and the second three months after the first. Also all the children, teenagers, and adults born after 1970 and does not have a history of disease, should be vaccinated with two doses of measles vaccine.

What is measles measles is a highly contagious disease. All the people ( children and adults) who are not vaccinated or have been doing only one dose of the vaccine can be infected if exposed to the virus. The virus is spread by droplets of respiratory system when a patient talks, coughs or sneezes. Approximately one in three patients with measles may give serious complications and need hospitalization. Complications are more frequent in young children, in adults, in immunocompromised individuals and pregnant women. The complications of measles are: otitis media, pneumonia, sinusitis, diarrhea, hepatitis, convulsions, encephalitis and permanent brain damage. In developed countries approximately one in 1000 patients with measles can result in death. There is no specific treatment for the disease. The best preventive measure is vaccination.

The number, I, of the workers in hospitals that have been diagnosed with measles is likely to be greater as well as have not included data for other groups of workers such as technologists, cleaners, security guards etc. The CDC notes that the strengthening of vaccination in general in the human resources of the hospital is the responsibility of the head, and that apart from the ""orders"" of the administration, the doctors and the nurses are the ones who need to strengthen their organization. The biggest load of infectious contagious disease raise the hospitals of Attica and in particular the paediatric hospitals, the Plain, the Annunciation, the Red Cross and the Sismanoglio, while the most vulnerable are those who work in the Emergency room and come in contact with patients who don't know, maybe even that suffering from measles.

The CDC, once again, recommends vaccination with a mixed vaccine of measles-mumps-rubella (MMR vaccine) of children, adolescents and adults who have not been vaccinated with the necessary doses. According to the National Immunization Schedule, children, adolescents, and adults born after 1970 and does not have a history of disease should be vaccinated with 2 doses of vaccine for measles. ""The epidemiological surveillance of the disease, the alertness of health professionals, the intensification of vaccination and the continued vigilance of local and national authorities are essential measures to control the disease,"" notes the CDC.

"79113","The measles is epidemic outbreak in Greece, as in other countries of Europe. The following are a series of myths and truths about the disease. 1. Measles is not a serious disease because it is best treated nowadays, this misconception is due to the success of vaccination, thanks to which the majority of the public has no experience of the natural disease nor its severity. Despite the modern advances in nursing that have contributed to the reduced likelihood of major complications in developed countries, the treatment of measles remains supportive, as there is no specific treatment. Thus, the serious complications such as acute encephalitis, which often leads to permanent brain damage, is still observed with a frequency of 1: 1000 cases. According to recent data, the deaths in the united states after the year 2000, mainly from neurological or respiratory complications, have been estimated at 1-3 per 1,000 reported cases, while in Europe, during the period 2005-2013, there were 61 fatal cases and 28062 cases of hospitalization due to complications. 2. Measles is endemic only in developing countries Thanks to the wide application of <U+03B5>µß<U+03BF><U+03BB><U+03B9><U+03B1><U+03C3><U+03C4><U+03B9><U+03BA><U+03CE><U+03BD> programmes, measles has not been a large impact in many of the developed countries. But the danger of imported cases from endemic areas and the spread of the disease to non-vaccinated or incompletely vaccinated individuals still exists because of international travel and immigration. The eradication of measles can be achieved only if the vaccinated percentage at 95% of the population with two doses of vaccine. But until we reach eradication will continue to be a significant risk for the countries of Europe. 3. The clinical diagnosis of measles by the doctor is proof of immunity clinical, written or oral, a diagnosis of measles is not evidence of immunity, but neither is the oral assurance of full vaccination. Adequate vaccination against measles, with age of onset <U+2265> 12 months, laboratory confirmation of immunity or acute disease and the date of birth before the year 1957 are, each, satisfactory evidence of immunity. However, in conditions of increased risk (outbreaks, travel to endemic area) should be considered the start of vaccination from the age of six months, but vaccination of certain persons (health professionals) who don't have indicator of serological protection and they were born before 1957, two doses of vaccine with an interval of at least 28 days. 4. Measles can be prevented with complementary or alternative formulations The only effective way of preventing the disease is vaccination. All alternative or complementary medicines have been non-existence of mechanism of action and are ineffective. Thus, a <U+03B5><U+03C0><U+03AF><U+03BD><U+03BF><U+03C3><U+03BF> person has a 90% chance to become infected if exposed to the virus. 5. The vaccine causes serious side effects, The MMR has an excellent safety profile and for this reason is included in all vaccination programmes worldwide, either as a µ<U+03BF><U+03BD><U+03BF><U+03B4><U+03CD><U+03BD><U+03B1>µ<U+03BF> measles vaccine or as a combination with the antigens mumps, rubella, and varicella vaccine (MMRV). The administration of 1 dose of vaccine has been associated with the occurrence of febrile seizures at a frequency of 1: 3000, the prognosis is very good and does not increase the risk of epilepsy or <U+03BD><U+03B5><U+03C5><U+03C1><U+03BF><U+03B1><U+03BD><U+03B1><U+03C0><U+03C4><U+03C5><U+03BE><U+03B9><U+03B1><U+03BA><U+03AE><U+03C2> delay. Transient thrombocytopenia, it is also possible to occur in 1: 20000 - 40000 doses, respectively, without, however, ever be the cause of serious bleeding or fatal outcome. Finally, the cases of encephalitis or encephalopathy have been recorded as associated with the vaccine at a frequency of 1: 1000000 in the united states, it is rarer than the corresponding ""unknown etiology"" and it seems, according to studies that have a temporal and not a causal association with the vaccine. All the above-mentioned side effects are much rarer than the corresponding complications that causes the natural disease. 6. The MMR is correlated with the appearance of autism a Plethora of independent scientific studies have refuted most of the void and on the basis of falsified evidence and economic interests theory of the correlation of the MMR with autism, which was formulated in 1998 by A. Wakefield in the United Kingdom and led in 2010 to the withdrawal of the article from the scientific journal Lancet and in the removal of a licence to practise by the author. The acceptance by part of the audience of the notional of this correlation, even today, is due to the fact that the diagnosis of disorders of the autism spectrum coincides with the age of the MMR and the highest rates of diagnosis of these disorders in the modern era due to expanded diagnostic criteria, greater awareness and better provision of health services.",2,"greece"

"8254","Measles destroys in the long term our immune system and makes us vulnerable to other infections. The measles virus deletes a part of the memory of the immune system with the result that we lose the ""immunity"" that we have developed in the face of infections that have already passed and so the immune system returns to a baby stage, reveal new research data. Indeed, two surveys of non-vaccinated children in the Netherlands showed that on the one hand, this removes a part of the memory of the immune system after infections and, on the other hand makes children more prone to new infections. The findings were published in scientific journals ""Science Immunology"" and ""Science"" explain why children develop other infections after measles and emphasize the need for vaccination of children. It was found that, after the measles, the antibodies of the children decreased from 11% to 73%. ""We found strong evidence that the measles, in fact, destroys the immune system,"" said Steven <U+0395><U+03BB><U+03BB><U+03AD><U+03C4><U+03B6>, a geneticist in the faculty of Medicine of Harvard University, and author of an inquiry and added: ""The threat of measles is much greater than we thought"". Measles affects worldwide more than 7 million people each year and causes more than 100,000 deaths. The reduction in vaccination rates has resulted in approximately 300% increase in cases of measles by the year 2018. Britain in fact is no longer ""free from measles"" because of the fall of immunity to measles, mumps and rubella. There is a need to be covered at least 95% of the population in order to prevent outbreaks of these diseases. Among children aged two years in Britain, the vaccination rates fell from 91,2% in 2017-2018 to 90,3% in 2018-2019, which is the lowest recorded rate since 2010. Measles causes a cough, redness and fever, is very contagious and the virus can be spread by coughing, sneezing, and even exhaling. From the moment the virus enters the respiratory tract, penetrates the cells of the immune system that are located on the surface between the lung and circulatory function. From there, the virus multiplies and spreads to the cells of the immune system throughout the body. To date, the investigators have reason for long-term effect of measles on the immune system since they were recorded many deaths from other infections that follow measles, but also due to the fact that the virus affects directly the immune system. In the first recent research on the issue, which was conducted by the <U+0392><U+03B5><U+03BB><U+03AF><U+03C3><U+03BB><U+03B1>ß<U+03B1> Petrova of the british institute of ""Wellcome Sanger"" and the University of Cambridge, it seemed that the measles corrode two different sides of defense of the immune system. In this context it was gathered volunteers from three different schools in the Netherlands to participate in the survey. The researchers took blood samples from healthy non-vaccinated children aged from 4 to 17 years of age and attended the course together with this 77 of children who were infected with the virus of measles to the outbreak of the disease in 2013. To deal with the infections the immune system is based on the continuous pumping of a wide variety of immune cells, each of which with slightly different receptors on their surfaces, with the capacity to recognize virtually any pathogen. ""The greater variety of immune cells we have, the better,"" said Petrova. It was observed that, after the measles, the children were much more limited variety. The immune system creates memory cells that remain in blood circulation allowing the body to quickly recognize and eliminate infections with which it has been faced in the past. However, after the measles, it appeared that many of the memory cells of the immune system no longer existed in the blood of children, a situation which the researchers called ""immune amnesia"". This may mean that children who contract measles need to <U+03BE><U+03B1><U+03BD><U+03B1><U+03B5>µß<U+03BF><U+03BB><U+03B9><U+03B1><U+03C3><U+03C4><U+03BF><U+03CD><U+03BD> for diseases for which they have already been vaccinated. The children were monitored by the researchers for about six weeks, so it was not clear how long it would take the immune system to return to its normal function. The Petrova suggesting that it takes about five years for a full recovery. The <U+0395><U+03BB><U+03BB><U+03AD><U+03C4><U+03B6> with its own research team, using a tool called VirScan (this is a tool that the <U+0395><U+03BB><U+03BB><U+03AD><U+03C4><U+03B6> and his colleagues presented the 2015, this detects all viruses that have infected a person, using only one drop of blood. The VirScan can detect antibodies against HIV, influenza, herpes and hundreds of other viruses), examined the antibodies in the blood and found that 11% to 73% of the antibodies were eliminated after the measles.

June 2019 has been confirmed by the Ministry of health of the Democratic Republic of the Congo is officially a measles epidemic. Doctors without borders/Médecins Sans Frontieres (MSF) calls for a massive mobilisation of all relevant national and international organisations, to vaccinate more children, and to treat the patients affected by the condition. In the case of this measles outbreak could be the deadliest in the DR Congo since the epidemic of the years 2011 and 2012. In the first five months of the year 2019, officially, more than 1,500 measles-related death cases were registered. This corresponds to almost 75 per cent of the total number of deaths in the year 2012. ""Together with the Teams of the Ministry of health, the Teams of Doctors without borders their Best to stop the chain of Transmission of the disease to break through,"" says Rachel Séguin, medical coordinator of Doctors without borders in the DRC. ""As soon as cases are reported of measles, begin with the vaccinations and care for the patients. But in addition to the already in the last months of efforts and more resources and organisations are required. The supply of vaccines and medicines is essential - the sooner, the better,"" says Séguin. Ten provinces Since the beginning of the year, Doctors fought affected without borders, together with local Teams of the Ministry of health, the measles epidemic in ten provinces of the country: Haut-Lomami, Haut-Uele, Ituri, It, Kasai, Kasai Central North-Kivu, South-Kivu, Tanganyika, and Tshopo. Given the scale of the epidemic, Doctors are increasingly without borders, its control capacities, and Teams deployed in new health zones to contain the spread of the highly infectious disease.

There, Doctors began without borders in may, with an emergency response. Measles mainly affect children. For the renewed outbreak of the disease in the DR Congo there are a number of reasons. Thus, the vaccination rate is low, there is in the delivery of vaccines delivery bottlenecks. In addition, the medical early warning systems are weak, and to keep the logistics a cold chain to maintain, very limited. To do this, armed conflict and displacement, paralyse the health system in some regions, apart from financial or geographical barriers, which restrict the access of patients to health care, or even prevent come. Vaccine supply to make sure ""in view of the recurrence of the disease, it is important that a stable vaccine supply system is manufactured in the country,"" says Dr. Ousmane Moussa, head of Doctors without borders in the DRC. ""There are several programs are planned to increase the vaccination rate in the course of the year. But in the near future, it is imperative that the impact of the epidemic. Through vaccination of children and the free supply of the Diseased, as many lives are to be saved,“ concludes Moussa. Measles is a highly contagious viral disease for which there is no treatment. The disease can only be through vaccination contained. In 2019, the Teams of Doctors have vaccinated without borders in the DRC 361.079 children and 14.785 patient's medical care. Doctors without borders is since 1977 in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

"269","Berlin (ots) – measles-vaccination also serves the protection of the General public, The Federal Cabinet will decide on Wednesday on a draft law for protection against measles and to strengthen the Impfprävention. In the run-up is discussed. The health-policy spokesperson of the CDU/CSU group in the Bundestag, Karin Maag explained: ""The bill providing for the extension of compulsory vaccination against measles, we welcome. Measles not a trivial disease, and vaccinations are one of the most effective preventive medical measures. The decisive factor is not only the protection for the vaccinated Person, but also the protection for all others who can't vaccinate is because they are younger than nine months, or sick. The current draft law tightens the rules in force, as they have not used sufficient. The CDU/CSU parliamentary group in the tightening right, because only a complete vaccination of all children in day care and school can ensure that no contagion shaft. Therefore, it is particularly encouraging that the draft law provides the vaccination book for all people who are in institutions in which children or asylum seekers are looked after or accommodated. It also includes staff in medical institutions. In addition, we must also analyze the reasons why over 97 percent of the children of the first measles vaccination received, the rate in the second round of vaccination, however, lies less than 93 percent. Presumably the parents are not opponents, but there is often a lack of information. We therefore welcome the draft law proposed extension of the information obligations of the Federal centre for health education. The legal clarification that any doctor is allowed to change, regardless of the discipline, appropriate vaccinations, will facilitate the area-wide Vaccination. To the discussion of the vaccination, we say very clearly: For those parents, we can't reach with the enlightenment, is the vaccination with all its consequences, is appropriate. Who is infecting others with a potentially deadly disease, against which he could have easily vaccinated, is irresponsible. We will get in therefore swiftly after the summer break in the parliamentary process, so that the legal measures for a nationwide Vaccination can be implemented against measles quickly.“ Background: now parents must inform the child's doctor. About the Vaccination of your child, you will receive a written proof, you must show the child day care facility.

"275","Vienna (PK) – The people's calls for advocacy decided a measles vaccination for health care personnel. In the national advocacy Committee of the national people's lawyer Günther Kräuter said today the Accordance with medical chamber and chamber of pharmacists, that there must be a sufficient vaccination status of hospital employees, no compromises. As a ""control instrument"" for the measles vaccine-he recommended the anchoring of mandatory measles vaccination in mother-to-child-Pass. Finally, the health of the child takes precedence over the personal freedom of his parents must have, if vaccinations decline. The domestic care situation was a Central theme in today's Committee, as a results of the administrative control from the year of 2018 were discussed. In this context, the people's appeals lawyers of the future government to raise the maintenance money in all care levels by 30% and annual Valori. By higher benefits for people with low care needs care may not be persons in need of more home care, which wanted only the most Affected anyway, but also the inflow to the congested nursing homes would be reduce. A lot of the need for action for the next government of the people's lawyer Gertrude Brinek also in the prisons. The living conditions there would have to always be on the rehabilitation of inmates oriented, locates Brinek for years, the existing deficiencies of the health care to personnel, equipment or the working conditions in the prisons. Specifically, the focus of the Committee will therefore at its meeting tomorrow, on the human right to control the for years overdue improvements in the correctional system. Some of the criticism comes from the Ombudsman's office, also on recent legislative decisions. For people lawyer Günther Kräuter, the course of change in the child and youth welfare is ""not a credit"", a ""failure history"" - proclaimed people's lawyer Peter Fichtenbauer, the amendment to the telecommunications act. The Parliament have to correct the reporting process using the citizen card ""to"", he recommended to the members, would yet - or needs a re-registration of a residence without the signature of the Accommodation provider ""of people dishonest attitude of"" sham applications miss. The need for action, he also sees in the area of insurance. In view of the growing number of natural disasters elementary insurance should be mandatory. Unchanged great deal of attention expected to spruce Bauer from the national Council in terms of assistance for the chronically ill children in schools. Although we have mitigated the fears of the teachers, with the help of benefits, liability risks, due to the Liability of 2017, what is needed is a ""School Nurse System"" for each site, however, would be. Complaint increase since the beginning of the year debate on the basis of the first part of the most recent activity report (III-240 d. B.) of the Ombudsman's office, in the preventive management control is described formed. In absolute Numbers, the Complaints decreased 2018. While the people had advocacy been in the previous year, over 18,000 times, due to problems with the administration contacted, a right to take the 2018 total 16.263 complaints. A verifiable explanation for the decline is the current chair of the national advocacy College fichtenbauer. Also on the reasons for the renewed increase in appeal volume since the beginning of the year of 2019, he could only take guesses, so Fichtenbauer, especially since the people's advocacy for a scientific research into the causes lacked the resources, such as people's lawyer, Brinek pointed out. ""We would go to the things like to do, but need the staff."" Currently long Fichtenbauer, according to the daily 73 complaints per working day for the people's advocacy in, 2018 there were 66 complaints a day. Within an average of 44 days, the people inform the Complainant of advocacy about the results of the tests, so Fichtenbauer, the Ombudsman's office documents, a ""top-of-the box"" in the civil service in the public sector. Regardless of the existing workload of the people's wishes legal profession continue to expand their Prüfzuständigkeit, so that you may examine how the court outsourced legal entities with public participation. Spruce builders named as examples of the ÖBB and the ASFINAG, which can not be controlled by the Ombudsman's office currently.

In the 9.546 completed test procedures – many of which already started before 2018 – has been revealed at 1.748 cases (18%) a miss. Almost every fifth complaint was, therefore, entitled. The large degree of awareness of the Ombudsman's office, fichtenbauer to return, not least on the media's dissemination of their work through the ORF-show ""citizen lawyer"", which has a market share of 22% of having. In terms of proximity to citizens, people's advocate of herbs added, in the meantime, the people could be lawyers in all the national days of Austria's problems of the population with the deputies to discuss and country legal suggestions for improvements.

After all, at the end of April 2019 would be the ""Impfgipfel"" in the Ombudsman's office, all of the Experts for the appropriate vaccination in the health, very, the Ministry of health, however, is delinquent. Especially problematic is the people's values, lawyers on federalism in Austria, a Federal country-specific Standards, not only in the health and care sector, but also in the area of Housing and construction. So people's lawyer Brinek reported from the Länder and the local administrative control of complex cases in conjunction with the Austria-wide ten different building codes. Especially in the case of new buildings, but also in the case of listed buildings, put the AOB a lot of value on accessibility, underscore Brinek Austria's obligation under the UN disability rights Convention, to enable all people Autonomous access to cultural institutions.

People's lawyer, herb paid tribute to the law a decision for the establishment of the home for victims of pension Commission, which deals with the compensation, as an important ""gesture of responsibility"" of the state. However, he criticized as the head of the Commission, in agreement with his colleague Fichtenbauer, the Commission staff had in the absence of a definitive plan of allocation provide no job security. In addition, the premises of the Commission to be unsuitable for use in highly sensitive activity that requires just calls Concerned a shielded environment.

From current events to language of abuse allegations against the police, specifically in the context of the recent climate conference in Vienna.

"588","Measles, undergoing a strong resurgence in the world, is a viral disease highly contagious, affecting mainly people of non or badly vaccinated. More than 360,000 cases were reported since January, the figures ""the highest"" since 2006, and almost three times more than for the same period last year, according to the world health Organization (WHO). The democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Madagascar and the Ukraine are the countries most affected. This return of the disease has led Thursday the international body to withdraw the United Kingdom, Greece, the Czech Republic and Albania their status as ""countries that have eliminated measles."" - What is the measles? - This disease is characterized by eruption of red spots on the skin was, before the arrival of the vaccines in the 1970s, a dreaded killer of children (7 to 8 million deaths estimated by year in the world). It is caused by a virus that spreads very easily by direct contact or through the air. This viral disease, which mainly affects children, but not only, is more contagious than Ebola, or the flu. After an incubation phase, the disease is characterized by a high fever, runny nose, cough, watery eyes... In a second time, appear red spots. The disease is contagious four days before and after this eruption. - Complications, sometimes serious - Often mild, measles can cause serious complications, respiratory (lung infections) and neurological (encephalitis), especially in frail people. There is no specific antiviral treatment and the care of the patient endeavours to treat complications. - Preventive Vaccination - The health authorities worldwide insist on the importance of the vaccine, at the individual level but also collective: high vaccination coverage (95% of the population) protects persons who cannot themselves be vaccinated, especially because of their weakened immune system (leukemia, treatment for anti-rejection after a transplant, etc.). In the world, the number of deaths due to measles had decreased greatly since the beginning of the years 2000 through 2016, thanks to vaccination campaigns: the balance sheet WHO for 2016 was a state of 90,000 dead, against for 550,000 in 2000. But he rose to 110,000 dead in 2017. According to the united Nations Fund for children (Unicef), 98 countries have reported a larger number of cases in 2018 than in 2017. 10, including Ukraine, Brazil and France, were responsible for three-quarters of the total increase. - Distrust and problems of access to health care - In rich countries, this increase is largely attributed to a distrust of vaccines in general and MMR (measles/mumps/rubella) in particular. According to a global survey published in June, France takes the lead of this skepticism, with one in three respondents who do not believe that vaccines are safe. In this attitude of distrust, the home of the pioneer of vaccination Louis Pasteur is followed by the Gabon, Togo, Russia and Switzerland. A lot of""anti-vax"" is based on a publication from 1998 linking the MMR vaccine and autism. However, it has been established that its author, the British Andrew Wakefield, had falsified his results, and many studies have since shown that the vaccine did not increase the risk of autism. The american president Donald Trump, before being elected, had himself linked to autism and injection of multiple doses of vaccines simultaneously, a position he has not, however, repeated recently. In April, he even held ""very important"" that the population is vaccinated against measles. The distrust can also have religious, particularly in some jewish communities and protestant conservative. In the United States, the State of New York, confronted with a resurgence of measles in areas with a high population of orthodox jewish, voted in June the removal of exemptions for religious parents could summon up here to get around the vaccination requirements in schools. At the global level, ""the main reason"" of the failure of the vaccination of children is the failure of health systems in poor countries, that those ""who most need (do) not have access,"" stressed the WHO.",1,"belgium"

Therefore, it is requested that people who are not vaccinated to catch up, knowing that the people affected by this vaccination are: infants (this vaccination is now mandatory for children born from 1 January 2018), and those born since 1980. What about people born before 1980 ? Before 1980, measles was very common in France. People born before that date were, therefore, very high probability of having contracted this disease and to be immunized. However, in some cases, the measles vaccination may be recommended for persons born before 1980 : In a situation of grouped cases of measles, measures, vaccine-specific and additional are offered. The vaccination is recommended for close contacts and in the community.

"3083","Public health experts in the United States have sounded the alarm on Wednesday against the return for several years of the measles in the country, mainly in certain communities that refuse vaccination, and obtain waivers for religious reasons or "" personal "". Six outbreaks of measles were reported in the United States since January 1, 2019, with 159 cases, in the States of Washington, Colorado or even New York. Each year since 2000, between fifty and several hundred cases are reported, so that the highly contagious disease had been declared eradicated in the beginning of the century in the country. This "" is unacceptable "", said on Wednesday, Anthony Fauci, director of the national Institute of infectious diseases, during a hearing in the us Congress. ""We need to go back to zero "". To read on the subject of Measles. One case imported by the French in Costa Rica The virus is one of the most contagious known. It remains in a room or on a surface up to two hours after the start of the infected person. Most of the epidemics in u.s. start because the virus was imported by a traveler returning to the United States, measles is still very much alive in many other countries. It then spreads among the unvaccinated people, who tend to live in close proximity to each other. ""We are victims of our own success """"there are pockets of people who are hesitant in relation to vaccines,"" said Nancy Messonnier, director of the national Center for immunization and respiratory diseases. In the past five years, 12 of the 26 outbreaks (more than five patients) were reported in communities of close-knit "". Three-quarters of patients are concentrated, for example in the somali community of Minnesota in 2017, or the orthodox jewish community of Brooklyn in the last year. The misinformation about vaccines is a factor, have hammered the experts, blaming the social networks for spreading false information about the risks of vaccination. Recently, Facebook, YouTube, and Pinterest, under pressure from the Congress in particular, have announced measures to censor the content of anti-vaccines. To read on the subject Health. The WHO alert on an outbreak of measles in the world The MMR vaccine (measles, mumps, rubella) is ""incredibly safe,"" repeated Nancy Messonnier. Existing since the 1960s, millions and millions of doses have been used. ""The most severe side effect is a sore arm, which goes very quickly "". But, she says, "" we are victims of our own success "". Since the number of cases of measles has decreased 99% since the discovery of the vaccine in the 1960s, parents do make more account of risk. Previously, between 400 and 500 people died each year of measles in the United States. Beyond the fever, pimples and other symptoms, complications of the disease include acute otitis media (1 of 10 cases), pneumonia (1 in 20) or even encephalitis, a brain inflammation (1 in 1,000). States want to eliminate the exemption vaccine To get a herd immunity or herd immunity, that is to say, to protect the unvaccinated individuals and at-risk (children less than one year, pregnant women...), it is necessary that the vaccination rate is between 92 and 95 % of the population, explained Anthony Fauci. The national rate in children is approximately at this level, but there are large disparities between States, and even from one city or one school to another. The illustration present the most egregious of these is the Clark county, just north of the city of Portland, in the north-west of the United States. Sixty-five of the 159 cases national focus, and most of them are children under the age of 10 years. 15 years ago, in this county, 96 % of school age children 5 years of age were vaccinated against measles. In 2017-2018, the proportion had fallen to 84 %. In some schools, mostly private, the rate of MMR vaccination was 20 or 30 % only. The elected members of the State of Washington responded to the epidemic by proposing to eliminate the exemption of immunization for personal reasons or philosophical (the reason religious would remain in place). Other States are also considering currently to do so. In the United States, only three States out of 50 (California, Mississippi and west Virginia) only allow exemptions for medical reasons.",1,"france"

"3130","Infection with measles can erase the memory of our immune system, and even weaken us in the face of new infections. (Credit: infohay / Shutterstock) As the number of measles cases rises in The United States, research shows a new way in which the disease can make the patient vulnerable to future infections. Published in Science of Immunology, a review of the immune systems of patients with measles showed that the illness does not let only some children less capable of fighting infections that they had already suffered. This also decreased their ability to fight those whom they had never been exposed. Erasing the memory of Measles slopes in the death of more than 100 000 people per year. In addition to causing fever and rash, the disease can destroy an element of our immune system, b cells. These white blood cells encounter new pathogens, learn to fight and remember how to do it in cases where our bodies would meet again with the disease. While the number of cells ""memories"" experienced increases, our immune system continues to produce a whole range of B cells that have never been exposed to disease and may face new threats. The researchers knew that the measles eliminates the B cells of the immune system that form its memory. But this new analysis has shown that the disease can also reduce the diversity of new immune cells, which may have an impact on a person's reaction to an infection that she never had before. Measles has re-designed some of the immune systems of patients so that they look more like a baby, "" says the co-author of the study, Colin Russell, a biologist at the University of Amsterdam. ""The only situation that we know is that we use immunosuppressive drugs for organ transplants"", he explains. Russell and his team have discovered these changes in the immune system in a population of Dutch patients with measles. The group avoids the vaccines for religious reasons, and collaborates with researchers who are studying the measles, "" says Russell. When researchers have predicted that an epidemic was about to hit the group, they have collected blood samples of the 26 children, and then have them collected again just after their disease. Immune disorders The review of the memory cells, showed that there was less movement in the body of patients after infection, and they were less diverse on the genetic level, which means that some of their capacity in the fight against the disease had been eliminated. In two of the children, there were also fewer cells non-exposed and less varied, leaving them potentially less able to fight against new infections. These changes are not reflected in the blood samples of people vaccinated against measles. The reason why measles has affected the cells not exposed to these two patients is not clear, said Russell. And as only two of the 26 patients showed these results, the researchers will need a much larger study on a diverse population to get an idea of its prevalence, or even if she appears in other groups of people. The results reinforce the importance of vaccinating children against measles, "" says Russell. And if these are the consequences of the measles in high-income countries where the death by the virus is rare, it is even more important that this research be conducted in places where the disease is common, "" he said.",1,"france"
"3140","Written by The Editorial staff in the Face of the outbreak of measles in the world in 2018, Unicef or the united nations Fund for children has launched a genuine cry of alarm. 98 countries have reported a significant increase in cases for the past year. However, if this childhood disease is extremely contagious, it is preventable. Ten countries account for over three-quarters of the increase in measles is a contagious viral infection that affects mainly children from the age of 5 months. More contagious than the flu and Ebola, this disease is spread by the airborne route. In general, measles is benign, but the risks of complication exist for vulnerable people. The contamination occurs after inhalation of the virus from a patient with coughing, sneezing or postillonné. Two main reasons explain the resurgence of measles between 2017 and 2018. In the developed countries, especially in Europe, the anti-vaccine are gaining ground. By contrast, in developing countries, such as in Africa and South America, Unicef points the finger at health systems that are very fragile. In order not to put at risk decades of progress, the un agency is calling on countries around the world to provide the necessary efforts to raise the immunization coverage. Measles remains a devastating disease. In 2018, it has led to 136 000 deaths in the world. Ukraine, Brazil and Philippines are the countries most affected by this alarming increase. Disastrous consequences for the children of tomorrow to date, there is no treatment to speak of the measles. The prescribed drugs are intended to relieve and/or contain the symptoms of the disease. However, vaccination can prevent it. The vaccine must be made no later than at the age of 12 months. This is the MMR vaccine against measles, mumps, and rubella. In addition to individual protection, two doses of the vaccine contribute to the effectiveness of the protection group. Since January 1, 2018, the measles vaccine is among the vaccines required for children in france. Similarly, it is recommended for all people born after 1980 to check their vaccination. The month of January last, the WHO or world health Organization has classified as a ""hesitation with regard to the vaccine"" among the threats the most pressing global health in 2019. It is imperative to raise the level of immunization coverage. This includes improving access to vaccines for children. Sources :",1,"france"

(AP Photo / Seth Wenig) This year, the germs have roared. Measles has tripled. Hepatitis A is developed. A mosquito is a rare but deadly disease increased. And this was just the United States. On a global scale, there has been an explosion of measles in many countries, an outbreak of Ebola persistent in Africa and an outbreak of dengue fever in Asia. There has also been a relapse in some diseases, such as polio, that the world was on the point of eliminate. ""The year has been difficult for the infectious diseases,"" said Dr. Jonathan Mermin of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in the United States.

In the center of the bottom is Dan Cahill, sanitary inspector of the city of Worcester. The city was hit hard when recent outbreaks of hepatitis A across the country have started to make people sick and kill the homeless and the consumers of illicit drugs. (AP Photo / Steven Senne) The three-quarters of the cases this year were of the jewish communities of orthodox in New York or nearby. Like most epidemics in the United States, this started with travellers infected abroad who have transmitted to persons who had not received measles vaccine. The vaccination rates in New York are, overall, good. But it was a shock to learn the extent to which they had been plunged in some places, said Dr. Patricia Schnabel Ruppert, commissioner for health in the county of Rockland, north of New York city. The distrust of vaccines had taken root in segments of the orthodox community. The county has taken the unusual step of banning thousands of unvaccinated children from dozens of schools. Hepatitis A hepatitis A tends to be viewed as a kind of food poisoning, often attributed to a restaurant worker infected which has a very poor hygiene. But the last wave started in San Diego among the homeless and people who use illicit drugs. In 2017, there were 1500 cases in four States linked to the outbreak. This year, it has climbed to 17 000 in 30 States, Florida and Tennessee being hit the hardest. Hepatitis A is not usually considered a deadly disease, but it may be for people whose liver is already damaged by hepatitis C or by prolonged use of alcohol. Nearly 200 have died this year. A vaccine against hepatitis A is now included in the routine vaccines for children, but most adults are too old to have received when they were children. Attempts to give the vaccine to vulnerable adults were met with a resistance, said Dr. Neil Gupta, of the CDC, which follows the epidemics. Public health officers have fired on people in the rehabilitation centres and in the shelters and on the streets to reach the homeless. Gupta said he was optimistic about the declining case in 2020. Equine encephalitis Is a rare but deadly disease has seen a modest increase but worrying last summer. The eastern equine encephalitis gets its name from its appearance at the horse in Massachusetts. The virus is spread to humans by mosquitoes that feed primarily on birds that are infected but sometimes bite humans. Some infected people become ill, but those who suffer from it can develop a dangerous infection of the brain, spinal cord, or surrounding tissues. There is a vaccine for horses, not for humans In this photograph of the August 26, 2019, the biologist in the district of mosquito control in Salt Lake City, Nadja Reissen examines a mosquito in Salt Lake City. The eastern equine encephalitis, a rare but deadly disease transmitted by mosquitoes, has experienced a modest increase, but worrisome in the summer of 2019. The figures remain very low – only 38 cases in 2019. But it is more than double the annual number in the last decade, and it included 15 deaths. (AP Photo / Rick Bowmer, file) The figures remain very low – only 38 cases this year. But it is more than double the annual number in the last decade, and it included 15 deaths. This has triggered health warnings in some places, and even calls to cancel the outdoor events planned for dusk, when mosquitoes are most active. Among those who died was Scott Mosman, a mechanical engineer and outdoor enthusiast in Taunton, Massachusetts. We don't know when Mosman has been bitten by a mosquito, but it is probably working in his yard, said Sami Fam, a friend and former colleague. ""It's sort of a great kid who has always thought he was invincible,"" said Fam. Mosman, 58 years, died in October. A better diagnosis may be contributing to the increasing reports of eastern equine encephalitis and some other diseases spread by the bites of mosquitoes or ticks. Some fly in and sank also in cycles. But the researchers say that larger increases can also be linked to climate change because the warmer weather can contribute to the boom of insects, and the expansion to the north of the place where they live. The good news is that This year, some infectious diseases have decreased. The preliminary reports show a decline of about 20% of legionnaires ' disease. Cases of west Nile virus has dropped by two thirds compared to 2018. And some of the other terrors infectious of the past, including tuberculosis, continued to decline. And the nation is far from what it was at the beginning of the 20th century, when approximately 50% of deaths in the United States were attributed to infectious diseases. Today, it is more like 5%. Improvements in sanitation and nutrition, as well as medical advances such as antibiotics and vaccines, are at the origin of the reduction of deaths due to infectious diseases over the last century. But sometimes, new threats emerge while others decline. ""There may have been a real renewed optimism after the eradication of smallpox in 1980"", but a few years later, aids came in, said Stephen Morse, an expert from Columbia University on the spread of disease. The increasing resistance to current vaccines and other prevention efforts is a ""very disturbing trend"", he said.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO) and the american Center for Control and prevention of diseases (CDC), the number of measles cases has soared in the world, ""with outbreaks of devastating in all areas."" What is the measles ? Measles is a rash illness that results in various symptoms : fever, cough, diarrhea, conjunctivitis, but also skin rashes in form of small red spots. In 2018, most of the deaths related to the highly contagious disease were in children under 5 years of age. Babies and very young children are most exposed to the risk of infection by measles, with potential complications, such as pneumonia and encephalitis, as well as a permanent disability - permanent brain damage, blindness or hearing loss. The poorest countries affected even If the fight against measles is a global challenge, it is the poorest countries that are most affected. It is in sub-saharan Africa that falls within the worst consequences of the disease. In 2018, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Liberia, Madagascar, Somalia, but also the Ukraine accounted for more than 50% of cases worldwide. More than 4 500 children have died of the disease in the DRC. But some rich countries such as the United States, Greece, or the Uk have not escaped the epidemic to the point of losing, by 2018, their status of measles elimination. ""We have a measles vaccine safe and effective for over 50 years"", has, nevertheless, said Dr Robert Linkins, chief Executive officer of the expedited screening of diseases and monitoring of vaccine-preventable diseases at the CDC, and president of the measles & rubella Initiative. ""These estimates remind us that every child, everywhere in the world, has need - and merit - this vaccine, which saves lives. We must reverse this trend and stop these preventable deaths by improving access to the vaccine against measles and vaccination coverage. ""A disease that can be prevented by immunization, WHO and UNICEF estimate that only 86% of the children received the 1st dose and less than 70% have received the 2nd recommended dose. This is not sufficient to prevent epidemics. The WHO recommends a 95% vaccination coverage with two doses of the vaccine in each country to protect the population. ""The unacceptably high number of children killed last year by a disease that is totally preventable proves that the measles, regardless of where it is, is a threat to children around the world,"" said Henrietta Fore, director general of UNICEF. The best protection against measles is vaccination, which according to UNICEF has saved more than 23 million lives in the course of the past 18 years.

To protect themselves, so there is a vaccine, which is made in two times : the first injection is recommended before 12 months, the second within 18 months. And the protection lasts for the life. But parents often overlook the second injection.

As soon as the diagnosis of measles is formal, it is advisable to isolate the child and have a hand hygiene very strict to prevent transmission of the virus. What to do in the face of a measles in a child ? When a child has measles, it must be excluded from any community. The fever should be treated in priority, since it can be very high and poorly tolerated. The doctor offers regular treatment with antibiotics in prevention of secondary infections and complications that can be serious. The healing is obtained in ten days. The best prevention against measles is vaccination, which is recommended beginning at 1 year of age with a booster six to twelve months later.

Researchers in virology and genetics at Harvard, in the United States, and the Institute Erasmus in the netherlands claim that the virus will erase the memory of the immune system. The study was published on the 1st of November 2019 in the american journal Science. To conduct this study, scientists used the health data of 77 children in the netherlands who had contracted measles during an outbreak in 2013. The data of a hundred of people who are not contaminated have also been exploited. An immunity equal to that of the new-born With an analytical technique called VirScan, the immune memory is studied. This memory remembers all the diseases that the immune system was able to fight before. However, the measles would have a devastating effect on this immune memory. The virus would eliminate up to 73 % of the antibodies in memory and make this memory as amnesic. People with non-contaminated, have, they, of immune changes ""limited"".

The scientist also explains that to return to a suitable level of antibodies, ""they need to be reinfected by pathogens, such as new-born babies, which take a lot of risks in the first years of their life"". A vaccine is needed more than ever ? The study shows that the risks are even more numerous, and they do not stop at only risk related simply to the disease.

Public health, France has clarified that this person was immunocompromised and non-vaccinated. The immune system of immunocompromised patients is weakened (by diseases or treatments which are taken after a transplant): this prevents the vaccination or makes it ineffective even if it had occurred in the past. Hence the importance, according to health authorities, that these patients are not in contact with people who are not vaccinated who may transmit measles. In 2018, three people had died of the measles, very contagious disease that can cause serious complications or even death (encephalitis, pneumonia, loss of vision). The first was a 32 year old woman who had never been vaccinated and had contracted the virus, leading his father to the emergency room. The second was a man of 25 years: suffering from a immune deficiency and transplant of a kidney, it could not be vaccinated. The last was a young girl of 16 years old, and grafted on the heart to 2 and a half years and who could not be vaccinated because of the treatments anti-rejection.

""This is less than last year but this continues to be unacceptable in our country"", commented the minister of Health, Agnes Buzyn, questioned Wednesday in the national Assembly during questions to the government. Between 1 January and 10 march, 100 patients had to be hospitalized (of which 5 on intensive care) and for 27 of them, measles caused pneumonia, a serious complication.

At the end of February, a French family achievement of measles had been placed over a week in isolation in Costa Rica, where she was staying. The authorities feared that it was the origin of a measles outbreak in this country, which has recorded its last indigenous case in 2006 and continues a campaign of free vaccination.

In the fall of 2012 and 2016, the disease has experienced a resurgence since the end of 2017, in favour of a decrease of the immunization coverage. The world health Organization and Unicef have warned recently in the face of the rebound of the disease in the world. According to Unicef, ten countries, including Brazil, Ukraine and France, are responsible for about three-quarters of the total increase in cases in 2018.

Goldsmith measles cases soar in Europe and the disease progresses in four countries previously considered as having disposed of, including the United Kingdom, warned on Thursday the world Health Organization (WHO), urging countries to step up their vaccination efforts. ""The re-establishment of transmission of measles is a concern. If high vaccination coverage is not achieved and maintained in all communities, children and adults will suffer needlessly and some will die tragically,"" warned Gunter Pfaff, head of the european Commission audit of the european Region of the WHO. for the elimination of measles and rubella. The WHO has stated that there were 89 994 cases of measles in 48 european countries during the first six months of 2019, more than double the number recorded during the same period, in 2018, where there had been 44 175 cases, and already more than 84 462 cases reported for 2018. . According to the data of 2018, the disease is considered eliminated in the United Kingdom, Greece, Czech Republic and Albania. Measles is considered eliminated when there is no transmission of endemic disease for 12 months or more in a specific geographic area. Although the disease is highly contagious, it can be completely prevented with two doses. vaccine, but the WHO has, in recent months, sounding the alarm on the rates of vaccination. The United Kingdom has reported 953 cases in 2018 and 489 for the first six months of 2019. During the same periods, Greece has notified 2 193 and 28 cases, Albania 1 466 and 475, and the Czech Republic 217 and 569. ""Each of these countries is an example of a national immunisation coverage is extremely high. These are not countries whose systems are particularly weak,"" said Kate O'brien, director of the department of immunization of the WHO. ""This is the alarm bell that sounds in the whole world: to be able to reach a national coverage high is not enough, it must be in every community, and every family for each child"", she said. Potentially deadly measles is an infection that is airborne and highly contagious, causing fever, cough and skin rashes. Although it can be fatal, with 37 deaths reported in the first half of 2019, compared to 74 in 2018, other complications include blindness and, for pregnant women, miscarriages. During the first half of 2019, some 60% of european patients were under the age of 19 years in Europe. During the first six months of 2019, 78% of cases in four countries were the Ukraine, the Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Georgia and Russia, of which 60% is in Ukraine. Meanwhile, Austria and Switzerland have confirmed their elimination status in 2018, said the WHO. Measles was declared eliminated in 35 of the 53 countries of the WHO european region to 2018, compared to 37 in 2017. It is considered endemic in 12 countries, including France and Germany. In this latter case, vaccination against the disease will become mandatory in march 2020. According to the WHO, between 2000 and 2016, more than 20 million deaths have been avoided in the world thanks to the measles vaccination. In the world, the number of cases for the period from 1 January to 31 July this year has tripled to reach 364 808, compared to 129 239 in the course of the seven months of last year. The largest numbers of cases have been reported in the democratic Republic of the Congo, Madagascar, and Ukraine. The United States have recorded their highest number of cases in 25 years. The figures are particularly worrying, according to WHO, nine out of ten cases would not be recorded in the world. O'brien said that, in reality, approximately 6.7 million deaths each year were associated with measles. The disease was officially eliminated in many countries with health care systems advanced, their number decreasing steadily until 2016, the year of the beginning of the resurgence. According to WHO, the reasons why people are not vaccinated will vary greatly depending on communities and countries, the lack of access to quality health care or immunization services, preventing some people from getting the bites, while others may be poorly informed about vaccines and the need to vaccinate. The so-called anti-vax – motivated assertions of fraudulent linking the MMR vaccine against measles, mumps, and rubella are at risk of autism in children – has more and more success. Unequal vaccination coverage as well as the gaps and disparities between communities, geographical areas and age groups have allowed measles to thrive even in countries where the vaccination rates of the national are high.

The State warns that an unidentified person reached of measles was at the airport these days, potentially exposing a large number of people to this highly contagious disease. The Philadelphia international airport is the 20th busiest airport in the United States. Each year, it transports over 30 million people to other airports, national and international. Measles, meanwhile, is a highly contagious virus that is currently causing epidemics in many countries, including regions of the United States. Rachel Levine, the secretary of State for Health, Pennsylvania, and Thomas Farley, commissioner of health, issued a notice warning that people who visited the airport on October 2nd and 3rd may have been exposed to measles if they were in the terminal and times following: – Wednesday, October 2, at terminal F from 18: 30 to midnight – Thursday, October 3, Terminal F from 16: 00 to 12: 00 pm – Thursday, October 3, Terminal A of 20: 30 to 23: 30 – Thursday 3 October, shuttle between the terminal A / B from 20: 30 to 23: 30. Measles is a highly contagious disease transmitted through the air by droplets. This means that a person with measles transmitted the virus to other people by sneezing or coughing in a public place. It is very easy to prevent this disease with two doses of the same vaccine, but the first may not be administered before the baby is at least 12 months. The health officials of the palestinian Authority have warned that adults vaccinated with the measles-existing from 1963 to 1967 were at risk of contracting the virus and should be vaccinated again with the MMR vaccine, current. In addition, some elderly people may have received only a single vaccine against measles which makes them susceptible to the disease.

Only the regions of Ihorombe and Anosy were not notified of measles. The district of Antananarivo reported the highest number of cases with 5 971 cases, followed by the district of Ambato Boeny, where 782 cases. Gaps in immunization coverage have been involved in this outbreak of measles. The number of children vaccinated at 9 months of age (the age indicated for measles immunization in Madagascar) is in steady decline, have announced responsible. Another problem that complicates now the situation outbreak: the measles vaccines are in stock for the older patients. The vaccine remaining is intended for infants less than 9 months and should already be vaccinated in health facilities in accordance with the immunization schedule. In addition to the measles epidemic, the authorities also report cases of rubella in the districts of Antananarivo Renivohitra, Ambanja and Amboasary Sud. Reminder about measles measles, a highly contagious disease, remains a significant cause of death among young children worldwide, despite the availability of an effective vaccine. It is caused by the measles virus, which belongs to the genus Morbillivirus, family Paramyxoviridae. The virus is transmitted by direct contact and through the air, infecting the mucous membranes and then spread to the whole body. Measles is a disease, strictly human, with no animal reservoir. Although generally benign, measles can cause serious complications, such as encephalitis and pneumonia, and can in rare cases be fatal in Europe (the mortality being much higher in intertropical Africa). A protection close to 100 % is obtained after two doses of a trivalent vaccine measles-mumps-rubella. The first sign of infection by the virus of measles is usually a high fever, which begins about 10 to 12 days after exposure and persists for 4 to 7 days. During this initial stage, the table may include rhinorrhea (runny nose), cough, red and watery eyes and small white spots on the inner cheeks. The rash appears several days later, usually on the face and upper neck. In about three days, the rash spreads, eventually reaching the hands and feet. It persists for 5 to 6 days before disappearing. It is observed on average 14 days after exposure to the virus (within a range of 7 to 18 days. Most of the deaths are due to complications of the disease. These are more frequent before the age of 5 years or in adults over the age of 20. Among the most serious complications, there are cécités, encephalitis, diarrhea important (may lead to dehydration), ear infections and severe respiratory infections such as pneumonia. In France, vaccination against measles, which is now mandatory for all infants born since January 1, 2018, requires the administration of two doses of a trivalent vaccine, MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) : a first dose at 12 months of age and a second dose between 16 and 18 months. In order to extend the protection, anyone born since 1980 should also have received two doses of the vaccine. Travel immunization helps to prevent the transmission or spread of the disease in other countries. To find out if vaccination against measles is recommended in his situation and to see if it is well protected, any person can create for herself or her children a book vaccination electronics (CVE) on the site MesVaccins.net. The CVE incorporates an expert system for comprehensive and accurate. It is available on desktop computer or on your smartphone (mobile interface, iPhone and Android apps).

In the past few months, the measles is back in the world. And France is not spared. A few days ago, moreover, the regional Agency of Health of Occitania launched an alert message, claiming that more than 300 cases of measles had been diagnosed in the region since the beginning of the year. This represents more than a quarter of all the cases reported in the country. Since January 1, 91 people were hospitalized, including 25 cases of pneumonitis or encephalitis. Not surprisingly, these are also the children under five years of age are the most affected. We learn, moreover, that the departments of Occitania, the most affected are the Haute-Garonne, Aude and Pyrenees Orientales. Main reason for this “epidemic” : the vaccination coverage. According to the ARS, it oscillates between 63% and 82% according to departments, then we need a coverage of about 95 % to maintain the disease at a distance. The main weapon against measles remains the vaccine (MMR). In this sense, the ARS advises parents to have their child immunized as soon as possible, if this is not yet the case. She also invites adults born after 1980 to check in their health record that they are well protected. Symptoms to know It is remember also that the symptoms may begin to appear 7 to 18 days after contact with the person infected. Cold, cough, fever, runny nose and red eyes and watery are the first signs that should alert. A few days later, red spots appear on the face, and then spread on the rest of the body. ARS notes that "" the sick person is contagious 5 days before and 5 days after the appearance of the buttons."" The virus can be transmitted by air, or simply by touching contaminated objects. In case of doubt, contact you quickly to your doctor. Elsewhere, “drastic” measures are employed for the purpose of conducting the population to be vaccinated. Italy for example, now enforces the policy of “no vaccine, no school”. More recently, a county of the us, has decided to ban unvaccinated children in public places.

They announced the arrest of a militant known and particularly virulent form that was opposed to the massive campaign of vaccination. The regional representative of Unicef in the Pacific, Sheldon Yett, has also called on social networks to the responsibility to crack down on the proliferation of messages of anti-vaccine. The islands of Samoa have ordered the closure Thursday and Friday, all the shops and services government non-essential, cut the binding inter-island by ferry, and asked to private vehicles not to move. The vaccination teams were deployed to go door-to-door. The people who have not been vaccinated against measles must display a flag or a red stuff in front of their home to help the teams to identify. The number of deaths due to measles since mid-October reached Friday 63, of which 55 children of four years or less. The children are also the majority among the 4.357 case of contamination identified. Twenty children were admitted to hospital in a critical condition. “The whole country is vaccinated” “I had already seen campaigns to mobilize massive, but never across a whole country like that,” said Sheldon Yett. “The whole country is in the process of being immunized”. The vaccination rate, which was 30% of the population before the beginning of the epidemic. It climbed to 55% with a vaccination campaign started there are 15 days with children. The intensification and expansion to the entire population of the campaign on Thursday and Friday, under the state of emergency declared last month, is supposed to be this rate to over 90% and help overcome the epidemic, according to Mr. Yett. In the capital Apia, the streets were almost deserted and the markets on the sea front, usually besieged by tourists, empty and silent. “It is very quiet here. We're only a few dogs barking. The streets are empty. There are no cars. People will stay at home and waiting for the vaccination campaign”, he noted. The world health Organization (WHO) has complained of campaigns anti-vaccine in the fall of the immunization coverage in Samoa before the epidemic. The death last year of two babies after a vaccine against measles has shaken the confidence of parents and stopped during the eight months the national immunization programme. A survey was then cleared of all charges of the vaccine and demonstrated an error: the vaccine was not in question but had been administered mixed with anaesthetic agents instead of water. A “devastating” impact, But the anti-vaccine jumped on the opportunity. According to Mr. Yett, their campaigns are often carried out since rich countries like the United States or Australia, without awareness of their impact on poor countries. “It is devastating, it can condemn to death a child here where vaccination rates are low and are in addition to other health issues.” “We had children who died after their arrival at the hospital, as a last resort. We have discovered that the anti-vaccine had been sent to their families, who were then kept these children at home”, added the minister of Communication of the archipelago, Afamasaga Rico Tupai. “The anti-vaccine, unfortunately, slow us down”, said the minister on television new zealand's TVNZ. And then run: “Do not put yourself in the way, don't contribute to the number of deaths,” to the attention of the activists anti-vaccines, one of them, Edwin Tamasese, was arrested Thursday evening. He had reproached the vaccination campaign on the social networks: “enjoy your orgy of killings,” he writes. “We advise the police to act when we do not have the choice”, has also notified the attorney general of the archipelago Lemalu Herman Retzlaff in a press release.

If the priority is to control the epidemic, a discussion will be needed with the internet giants such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram are used by the anti-vaccine, said Mr. Yett. “It is very clear that they need to exercise corporate responsibility to intervene and ensure that the populations, particularly the most vulnerable, receive adequate information, which will help to keep the children in life,” he says. Samoa has received assistance from the UN and several countries (Australia, New Zealand, France, Great Britain, China, Norway, Japan, Usa...).

A portion of the population does not adhere any more to the vaccination requirement from January 2018. It is important to know that a person infects between 15 and 20 people. This disease is highly contagious and can have very severe complications,"" says Anne Guinard. It will be understood, the Ariege is today surrounded by the measles virus.

""When a vaccine coverage of the population is poor, the most vulnerable people to get it,"" said the minister on France Inter on Wednesday morning. According to the monitoring data just published by the national Agency of the public health, the catalan country identified in 2017, not less than forty reported cases. The P.

For the record, the world health Organization (WHO) recommends that a 95% vaccination coverage to effectively combat the epidemics. Whereas the minister of Health, Agnes Buzyn, urged on Wednesday the people who have not been vaccinated to do a ""catch-up"" following the death of a 32 year old woman in Poitiers, ensures for its part that ""immunization coverage of around 70 % is totally insufficient to prevent an epidemic to emerge"".

""Measles should not be regarded as a childhood disease, and benign"", Dr. Christophe Garro, head of the intelligence unit and management of health alerts to the ARS (regional Agency of health), in Occitania, The point on the disease Contagion. Measles is a highly contagious disease : an infected person can infect 15 to 20 people (compared to 1 to 2 people for the flu). It is spread by coughing, sneezing, and nasal secretions. The infectious period starts 5 days before the rash (pimples) and lasts up to 5 days after the beginning of the eruption. Signs. The first signs of measles are similar to a symptom for influenza-like illness : high fever, cough more and more marked, discharge from the nose and eyes, fatigue, red eyes, swollen and discomfort to light. Three or four days after the fever : appearance of buttons (small red spots), first behind the ears, and then at the level of the face, in the neck, on the chest, and then throughout the body. Treatment. There is no specific treatment or antibiotic against measles. Measles can cause severe complications, exhaustion, breathing difficulties, significant vision problems, persistent fever, severe headache, disturbance of consciousness), which may require hospitalization. If, in France, there has been a death per 1,000 cases, measles remains the first cause of mortality in Africa. Are you protected against measles ? If you were born before 1980, you've probably already had the measles, in this case, you are protected.

"3276","In the european region of the World Health Organization (WHO), 559 cases of measles were reported in January 2017. This viral disease, extremely contagious and continues to spread on the Old Continent. A situation which is likely to cause significant outbreaks where vaccination coverage does not reach the necessary threshold of 95 %, alert on Wednesday, the WHO. ""As you progressed steadily towards the elimination of these last two years, it is particularly worrying to see cases of measles multiply on Europe,"" says Dr Zsuzsanna Jakab, WHO regional director for Europe. 14 endemic countries, including France, "" The travel habits today are no individual, no country is immune from the virus of measles. The outbreaks will continue to blossom in Europe, as elsewhere, until each country reaches the level of vaccination necessary to protect fully its people "", is concerned about this specialist. Two-thirds of the 53 countries in the region have interrupted the endemic transmission (or their territory) of the measles. However, according to the Commission's european regional verification of elimination of measles and rubella (CRV), there are still 14 malaria-endemic countries where 474 of 559 cases were reported in January 2017.

"3282","While measles was almost eradicated in France at the end of the last decade, it is now at the heart of the concerns of the health authorities. Measles is a highly contagious disease caused by a virus of which the complications may be life-threatening. The vaccine appeared in the 1960s and became widespread in the 1980s. In France, the number of cases has dropped dramatically due to immunization campaigns, leaving a glimpse of a possible eradication. However, in recent years, the French health authorities are seeing a resurgence of the disease. Most recently, she has been in the headlines, like this French family that brought the measles virus in Costa Rica or even the important home event in the ski resort of Val-Thorens (the Alps). The WHO is sounding the alarm, According to a recent alert from the world health Organization (WHO), the number of measles cases worldwide has jumped by 50 % between 2017 and 2018. France, placing 10th among the largest increases with 2 269 cases additional ! Then, how to explain these figures in the countries of Pastor ? The phenomenon of ""antivax"" and the crisis of confidence A study by the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine published in 2018 reveals that France is one of the European countries most skeptical about the safety and effectiveness of vaccines, since 30 % of the French believe that "" vaccines are not safe "". Frances Salvadori, lecturer in immunology at the University of Burgundy, co-author with Laurent-Henri Vignaud, historian of science, the book Antivax : the resistance to the vaccines used in the Eighteenth century to the present evokes the influence of the scandals to health in the opinion of the French as well as the poor communication in some of the episodes such as the H1N1 flu. Behind this movement that is anti-vaccine, "" there are some people who have the impression that we cache things, and look to the health authorities as being in collusion with the pharmaceutical industry "", analysis Françoise Salvadori. Fear of adjuvants To this lack of confidence, in addition, for several years, the fake-news on the additives that are going on on social networks and on the Internet in general. However, no scientific evidence has established, to date, any danger of adjuvants. These are substances indispensable in a lot of vaccines to allow the immune response and thus protection against the disease. In addition, the addition of adjuvant in the vaccine can reduce the amount of antigen per dose of vaccine, and to reduce the number of booster injections. In regards to measles, the argument is even more fallacious than the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine is part of those that do not contain adjuvant ! In France, another explanation for this upsurge of measles would come from the fact, according to the researcher, that many people "" believe that it is a disease common to childhood, a normal experience of life, or even, according to the beliefs of some parents, she does grow and that it is a normal experience of life "". Yet it's important to remember that it is a disease sometimes fatal and often serious ! But "" the anti-vaccine trust the immunity from the disease itself, with all the risks that this includes, that the immunity from the vaccine. It's trust a little naive in nature, "" describes Frances Salvadori. The adjuvants in the vaccine : how does it work ? When a microbe enters our body, our immune system sets in motion-the bottom fighting to eliminate it, thanks to our specialized cells in the body's defense. When we inject a vaccine, it injects the virus or bacteria in very small quantity, in a form that is non-pathogenic to elicit an immune response. Thus, in case of attack by the real germ or virus, our body already has the tools to defend themselves ! This is what is called immunity. However, most vaccines are inactivated, i.e. they are not composed of microbes living. For the vaccine to work, it must therefore be a substance which efficiently activates the immunity... and that is the role of the adjuvant ! The impact of the case of Wakefield In 1998, the Lancet published an article whose first author is a Dr. Andrew Wakefield, and in which is suggested a link between the MMR vaccine and the development of autistic disorders. The authors caution, however, that their work does not constitute a proof, and deserve to be studied in depth. But too late, the damage is done and the information spreads like wildfire, first in England and then in the world. The speech of Dr. Wakefield is getting more and more alarmist, and the supposition becomes a certainty. A few years later, not only several new studies have shown the absence of a causal link, but a british journalist, Brian Deer, has proven that at the time Wakefield was funded by associations of parents of autistic children against the vaccine manufacturer. In 2010, the Lancet retracted the publication. However, the idea that vaccination is associated with autism remains very strong in the whole world, and the publication of 1998, although invalid, is still used by the associations anti-vaccines as ""evidence"" of the dangerousness of the vaccine. Andrew Wakefield, struck off and dismissed, recognized of 36 breaches of the code of medical ethics for falsification of data, continues to advocate against vaccines in the United States and finds the echo of his speech in the words of influential people like the president of the United States, Donald Trump. On the side of the scientists, a large study published in march 2019 denies, again, any link between vaccination and autism. Belief against science, the war of the vaccines continues. Claim of medicine geared to the individual If the vaccination is important to prevent yourself from having a disease, it is especially important for immunocompromised individuals who may not be vaccinated. Therefore, the more a population is vaccinated, the more people the more low that can't be will also be protected. However, the researcher believes that currently, in France, "" the altruistic dimension of the vaccination has a hard time passing. A phenomenon that is perhaps to be linked with the increasing popularity of medicines that claim to have a more individualized patients. ""The vaccination requirement At the end of the year 2017, Agnes Buzyn, minister of Health, has decided to make mandatory 11 vaccines for children to catch up in terms of vaccine coverage. But the constraint doesn't necessarily the things : in the book Antivax : the resistance to the vaccines used in the Eighteenth century to the present day, the authors show that in the course of history, every time that there has been a bond of vaccine, it has organized and hardened anti-vaccines. Then, how to give back the confidence to fill in the gaps in vaccine coverage ? For the researcher, this is achieved by information campaigns citizens of the health authorities, but also by a strengthening of the medical training regarding vaccines, whether for doctors, nurses or pharmacists. Trust must be rebuilt between the patients and these health professionals, it should also be better equipped to deconstruct the beliefs persist. Thus, if the causes of the resurgence of measles is identified, much work remains to be carried out to limit the consequences, because the requirement of this vaccination concerns only the new-born of 2018. The MMR vaccine, All children and adults born since 1980 should be vaccinated against the measles. It is a very effective vaccine that protects in nearly 100 % of cases. It takes two doses of vaccine for the vaccination to be effective. If 95 % of children were vaccinated with two doses, it would be possible to eliminate the disease. The rate of immunization coverage is insufficient in France in the 15-35 years old, and infants. For children born on or after January 1, 2018, vaccination against measles is mandatory, with a dose at 12 months of age and a dose between 16 and 18 months. If you have not been vaccinated as a child, and that you have never had measles, it is important to make a catch-up vaccination. Attention to the sites of misinformation !

This infection, potentially fatal, has affected more than 41 000 adults and children. According to the World Health Organization, it is the largest outbreak in Europe in the last ten years. An upsurge alarming and an eradication threatened measles is a viral disease transmitted from person to person and is highly contagious. It mainly affects children, but can affect both teens and adults. Mistakenly regarded as a benign disease, measles is likely to cause late complications and very serious, even life threatening. Moreover, this epidemic now raging in Europe has already been 37 victims. The WHO regional director for Europe, Dr Zsuzsanna Jakab, draws the alarm bell. After a significant decline in the number of people infected in the last two years, 5 of 300 in 2016 and 24 000 cases in 2017, measles is on the increase. With more than 23 000 cases were reported, Ukraine is the hardest hit. France is also one of the countries affected by this outbreak of measles. According to the data of public Health France, 2741 cases have been reported in france since the beginning of this year. The country has recorded three deaths. The disease is present in almost 90% of the metropolitan departments and overseas. A decrease of the immunization coverage and surveillance defaulting Dr. Zsuzsanna Jakab does not want to be reassuring about this resurgence of measles. To the WHO regional director for Europe, the current situation is the direct result of the failure of the vaccine coverage and the failure of the surveillance of this disease. It calls on all countries to adopt measures to stem the spread of the virus. This is confirmed by the european Centre for prevention and control of diseases. More than 80% of those infected have not been vaccinated against measles. In addition, 10% of the sick have been vaccinated, but have not received the booster dose. However, vaccination coverage is non-existent or partial, does not offer the best protection. Vaccination remains the only effective method of fighting against the measles. A vaccination coverage of at least 95% is necessary in order to stop the spread of the virus and eradicate the disease. Vaccination contributes to the protection group.

Once discovered, the Boston Public Health Commission has urged any person on the path of the person who is not vaccinated, other travelers, local residents, bus drivers, station staff to consult with their physician. ""Measles is the virus to be more contagious than we know,"" says H. Cody Meissner, chief of infectious diseases pediatric Floating Hospital for Children at the Tufts Medical Center in Boston.

The outbreaks have been primarily concentrated in New York, New Jersey, in the State of Washington and California, the majority of cases, over 700, occurring in New York. More than 400 others are produced elsewhere in the State, primarily in jewish communities, orthodox cloistered. (Credit: world health Organization), ""It is really a bunch of smaller outbreaks,"" says Tom Clark, associate director of the Division of viral diseases at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. ""Most of them are under control after a handful of cases."" This is because most people are vaccinated, "" says Clark. ""(But) sometimes, the communities are very united, are under-vaccinated by choice, often because of parental concerns about vaccine safety or lack of concern about the seriousness of the diseases against which the vaccines protect,"" explains Clark. While most people recover completely, about 1 in 5 cases results in severe complications that can include miscarriage, severe diarrhea, ear infections, pneumonia and encephalitis, an infection that triggers swelling of the brain that can cause a vegetative state or even death. A small but growing number of people who appear to recover may have the virus hidden silently in their brain and, until a decade later, to develop a SSPE (sclerosing panencephalitis (subacute), a disease very rare but life-threatening central nervous system. Doctors say that approximately 95 percent of people must be vaccinated to prevent the outbreak of measles in a given community. This provides what is called herd immunity, which means that a sufficient number of people are vaccinated to prevent the spread of the disease. Although the rate of MMR vaccination (measles, mumps and rubella) is about 94 percent at the national level, there are large pockets with low vaccination rates across the country – mainly due to poverty, lack of access to insurance and doctors, and a growing number of parents who refuse to voluntarily vaccinate their children. At the present time, many of the reported cases are linked to travellers who brought the virus in the United States from countries where epidemics are in progress. And in the world, there has been an explosive resurgence of measles, with a 300% increase in reported cases during the first three months of 2019, compared to the same period in 2018. On October 10, the most affected countries were Madagascar (127 500), Ukraine (56 400), India (53 000), Philippines (39 700) and Nigeria (27 000). In 2017, there has been 110000 measles deaths worldwide, mainly among children under 5 years of age. While various factors have contributed to this increase include the civil unrest, the low awareness of the need to vaccinate, the skepticism about the vaccines and the lack of availability, the common denominator is a vaccine coverage rates reduced. ""There have been over 83, 000 cases of measles in Europe alone, in an area with access and education,"" says Heidi Larson, former head of UNICEF and director of the Vaccine Confidence Project at the London School of Hygiene ",1,"france"

"3371","The heart of Géoclip, it is the exploration of the geographical dimension of indicators : to put the numbers in the cards, to make them talk. Depending on the nature of the indicator, the mode of cartographic representation adapted to be determined : proportional symbols for quantities, additive, slices and color gradients for the relative values, for the two basic modes. This allows you to visualize how a given statistic is distributed in space and how spatial relationships may appear. However, Géoclip allows you to explore other dimensions, to the extent that the information is available. For example, when one has a time series, the mode of representation suitable is a curve of evolution. The illustration above right shows the seasonality of the flu epidemic, from a series of weekly transition rates to the emergency room because of flu, since 2010. This curve is displayed in the summary fact sheet of the indicator, one of the 3 modes of restitution possible, with the map and the table. The graph can be exported in different formats, to be able to serve as an illustration, like here, for example, in a blog article. View the temporal dimension of the indicator image by image, This indicator is part of the several hundred that are in the Géodes, the mapping tool dynamic Public Health France. In the Géodes, a lot of indicators have a temporal dimension. When this is the case, Géoclip offers a unique feature : the time animation. This allows you to view a small clip, built with a series of cartographic representations of each period. For example, Géoclip allows you to view an animation similar to the one below to the left, representing the number of reported cases of measles from 2005 to 2017, year after year. This animation shows how the measles, which had almost disappeared 10 years ago, has seen a rise in very high, which spread gradually in the whole of France, and of which the peak occurred in 2011. Measles is a childhood disease that can have serious complications, especially when it affects young adults. Studies have shown that the return of measles could be explained by a defect in the immunization coverage. Public health measures have therefore been taken to re-establish the immunization coverage at a sufficient level. To view this animation in the Géodes, in the space of Indicators, simply click on the period at the continuation of the description of the indicator, at the top of the card. In the drop-down list, click on ""animation"" at the top of the list of periods. In the panel control, on the left side of the screen, click on ""launch the animation"" or drag the cursor from one period to the next. To export the statistical data in a spreadsheet, The number of reported cases of measles is available in the Géodes, not only for the overall population, but also by age group : 8 categories, from under 1 year to 30 years and more. Géoclip allows you to return easily to this indicator in the form of a table, with one column per age group. This table is simply exportable in different formats, to retrieve, for example, in a spreadsheet, which will allow further analysis. In addition to the geographical dimension and the temporal dimension, an indicator can be detailed according to other axes, for example, age groups, sectors, activities, types, degrees, levels or other categories,... To illustrate this, Géoclip offers different graphical representations, whether in the summary sheets by indicator or in the reports. For cartographic representations, a simple solution is to make a series of cards, representing the flag for each slice, area, type or category. Another possibility, to combine them together on the same card, is to produce a map with pie charts : the total area of the pie chart represents the value of the indicator, the different areas represent the categories. This mode is only relevant if the number of spatial objects and the number of sectors are not too important. For example, a map of France by region, and an indicator distributed according to 4 or 5 categories.

"3380","The measles, with more than 1 500 cases have been reported in France in four months, is an infectious disease potentially life-threatening, in a strong resurgence in france since the end of 2017. Five things to know about this disease characterized by eruption of red spots on the skin and that, before the arrival of the vaccines in the 1970s, was a dreaded killer of children (7 to 8 million deaths estimated by year in the world). Highly contagious disease, measles is caused by a virus that spreads very easily by direct contact or through the air. It is estimated that a patient can infect 15 to 20 other people. After a phase of incubation silent, the disease is characterized by a high fever, runny nose, cough, watery eyes... In a second time, will appear red spots, which give its name to the disease. Potentially severe Complications of measles is dangerous for the complications that it may cause. Most of the deaths are due to secondary infection of the lung severe type of pneumonia. Other possible complications are: the involvement of the nervous system (encephalitis) which can lead to serious consequences and even be life-threatening, involvement of the eyes (conjunctivitis, keratitis) which can lead to blindness, inflammation of the ears (ear infections) or dehydration associated with severe diarrhea. There is no specific antiviral treatment and the care of the patient endeavours to treat complications. Preventive Vaccination is The only effective way to protect against measles is vaccination a preventive. This vaccine has existed since 1968. In France, it has been included in the immunization schedule in 1983. It is generally available in the form of the combined vaccine MMR which also protects against mumps and rubella. While he was so far highly recommended, but not mandatory, the MMR vaccine became mandatory for all children born after January 1, 2018, with a dose at 12 months and a second between 16 and 18 months. Too low immunization coverage immunization coverage refers to the proportion of people in the general population, are effectively immunized against a disease. More this rate is high, the more difficult it is for an infection to spread. For measles, the coverage in France is 79%. There should be a rate of 95% for the collective protection against this highly contagious virus to be truly effective. Studies show that people born in the 80s are too weakly immunized against measles: it was a time where vaccination was gradually introduced, and where the virus was circulating less. Suddenly, many among this generation have never developed antibodies against the disease. Fear of a new outbreak After a decline between 2012 and 2016, the number of measles cases in France has started to rise again in November 2017. In the past few months, the movement has accelerated, raising fears of an epidemic, such as those observed in Europe in 2017, and in France from 2008 to 2012.The health authorities reported Wednesday, of 1 527 cases since the beginning of the year, and 1 605 since 6 November, the date after which the disease has experienced a ""resurgence"" that has not been tackled since. The New-Aquitaine, the only region in an epidemic, is by far the most affected. In the world, the number of deaths due to measles has significantly decreased since the beginning of the years 2000 thanks to vaccination campaigns: the balance sheet WHO for 2016 made of 90 000 against 550 000 in 2000.",1,"france"

Pertussis: infants can I vaccinate only for nine months, but you can get sick sooner. And if the environment is vaccinated against pertussis, and the causative agent is not worn on the infant approach, then he is not ill. Whooping cough is a dramatic disease? Yes, that's fierce, the Virus can not handle and so a small infant who is vomiting every meal, because he is shaken by the cough, not want to the experience as a parent. How it looks in the district of Böblingen? Where are the biggest gaps? For the adults, there is no detection. As the only statistics in the district, I have studies the Input, if children come to school. Here parents are obliged Impfbücher to submit. And what, you there? For measles we were last year at 96.4%, in the case of the first vaccination – and that's not bad. But you have to have two vaccinations and the second vaccination, then just 92.9 percent of the children. These will then be prompted for the vaccination of catching up to do. You have to beat, therefore the Alarm is at risk of the district of Böblingen? Difficult to say, we need a vaccination rate of 95 percent for the second vaccination, so that a protection is made. Why is vaccination, especially for measles so important? Between 2003 and 2009 died in Germany, 39 children from measles. And not only is the mortality rate makes the disease dangerous. Who skin, for example, gets by measles an inflammation of the brain can be mentally disabled. And there is no medicine for measles. Heidi Kalmbach-Heinz recommends the vaccination. Photo: Landratsamt Böblingen, Vaccination Is also an issue for adults? Yes, for example, vaccination against ticks , i.e., the TBE Virus, the brain skin inflammation can cause. The older you get, the more likely that damage, such as paralysis, back to stay. Just here in the district we can track, over the years, here are the ticks-increasing Population and more messages to TBE received. Since the mid-2015, a new prevention law. What are the biggest Changes here? The Doctors are now required to check in children and adults, the Vaccination. The most of the children have made doctors but already. They also show the vaccine damage? You have to distinguish between vaccine damage and side effects. Side effects such as redness or low-grade fever are not reportable and go over. Vaccine damage be reported to us, but there is no County statistics. And if vaccine damage can be recognized, to get compensation from the state.",1,"germany"

Make the most of the actually, if the offer is active made."" Not only to the family doctor, but also in Rescue services and investigations to the start of School and to the school completion of vaccination should be offered with, the occupational health doctor. Because later in training or in the course of study, the majority of young people were rarely in contact with a doctor. ""Why – who are healthy. And we have to find ways how we can get the but that there simply is looked. The knowledge: Every ten years, at the latest, the brand needs to be refreshed.""

Similar to the occupational health doctor Kristina Böhm holds vaccination is right – but not for measles vaccination for all.

Today, there are for infectious diseases, so-called combination vaccines. This is prevented with a Dose of the vaccine, the same against several diseases. The measles Virus changed very little and is only transferable to humans. Therefore, a two-time vaccination provides already for life-long immunity. This makes the vaccine effective ammunition against measles. Between 2000 and 2012 worldwide could be saved 13.8 million lives through vaccination. In Europe, the measles cases were reduced from 851.849 in 1980 to 4.175 cases in 2016. The American continent was even more successful.

Around seven per cent of school beginners in Germany are not sufficiently protected against measles. In the decisive second vaccination against the highly contagious Virus, only Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and Brandenburg, achieve the target rate of at least 95 percent of the vaccinated children. The show is at the school entrance examinations in 2017, data collected by the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) published in Berlin on Thursday.

"4415","Status: 08.03.2019 10:53 PM - NDR Info Pulz: measles are not a harmless disease measles disease is anything other than a harmless children, how many parents previously thought. In the meantime, medical professionals strongly advise the vaccination because the measles can have serious health consequences. And are again on the rise, as currently, in lower Saxony Hildesheim. The particular focus of the Oscar Schindler is a comprehensive school. In order to prevent further spread, the County health Department determined a significant step: a certificate of vaccination control. Who can prove no protection, has to expect that the access to the school buildings. Dr. Matthias Pulz, President of the state health Department of lower Saxony, defended on NDR Info the procedure with the controls of the vaccination record. He would also hold that measles vaccinations for necessarily useful. Controls are regulated by law, in the view of Pulz control of the vaccination record is a measure of the protection against infection act provides so. It was a preventive measure, in order to recognize students who have no Vaccination. This would develop the risk yourself. Unprotected could therefore be excluded from the class. Background: measles measles is highly infectious. The Virus is transmitted by Inhalation of droplets, such as when Talking, coughing or Sneezing. The symptoms can range from runny nose, fever and cough to a reddish-brown irritation of the skin. In addition, the immune system is weakened. This can lead to infections, such as meningitis, some with long-term damage to the Central nervous system. Two out of 1,000 patients die, according to the Robert-Koch Institute to the consequences of a measles infection. A large proportion of Non-Vaccinated In the school-entrance examinations, especially in lower Saxony, there are, according to Pulz is a good vaccine. ""But of course not 100 percent."" There is in the population, a larger proportion of non-protected people. ""As long as the measles are not pushed further and further back, there is always the risk if measles occur, that they be spread and that it can also lead to a Situation such as now in Hildesheim,"" said the expert on NDR Info. Education is important, Actually, lower Saxony, is nationwide the state that have the least number of measles cases, so Pulz more. But there is now more than 25 cases, it was more than usual. Just in the district of Hildesheim, the Situation at the Moment, deserve special attention. The health Department was doing everything possible to a retransmission counter. ""Of course it is important to call also to verify the Immunization and vaccination of catching up to do."" He agreed with many other experts, that you should again appeal to the population to vaccinate itself. To ensure campaigns are necessary to inform the Public. Measles be just not an easy childhood disease, but a disease that could also go with severe complications associated. ""One out of a Thousand dies, so It is a very serious disease."" Disease claimed with serious consequences, unlike the opponents, is the disease with measles is not harmless. Recently, a study from Denmark, this prejudice have to be refuted. At the Oskar-Schindler-gesamtschule in Hildesheim, Germany, wanted to check the health Department on Friday, the immunisation records. Pulz asked to NDR Imfo, you should also be used in other areas of the district are active. For more information, measles-control: 190 persons without vaccination proof In the case of checks at a school in Hildesheim, Germany, have shown that 190 persons have no immunity against measles.

"4437","How many measles cases there are in Bavaria? The varies greatly. In the past year there were in Bavaria, according to the latest Figures from the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) 108 documented measles cases in 2017, there were only 59. While this is at first glance a significant increase in the relative but, if you look even further back: In the last big measles epidemic in the year 2013, the country was one of office for health and food safety (LGL), a total of 777 measles cases in the state. Measles can take a severe course, with a brain inflammation of the skin. According to Figures from the Robert Koch-Institute, around every thousandth disease is fatal. Since the beginning of 2019, it was in Bavaria, 34 measles cases, as a Green-request from the state resulted in the government recently. However, the number of measles cases worldwide has risen dramatically. You took in the first quarter of 2019, compared to the prior-year period by 300 percent, as the world health organization, WHO, announced on Monday in Geneva. It is more than 112.000 infections were in 170 countries reported. How is the vaccination Coverage in Bavaria? The measles eradicate, should be vaccinated according to experts, 95 percent of the population. In the case of Bavarian school children, the rate is currently at 92.2 percent (min. 2. Vaccination) and thus just under the national average of 92.9 per cent. The Problem in Bavaria, the regional very large differences, so the state health Agency. Especially in southern counties such as Starnberg, Rosenheim and Garmisch-Partenkirchen, about ten percent of the sixth graders are not vaccinated against measles. About the reasons – whether it's convenience or General vaccination skepticism – we can only speculate. How is the Bavarian state government to a measles vaccination? Prime Minister Markus Söder keeps on BR-demand-the Bavarian vaccination rates are sufficient. He appeals as well as the Bavarian health Minister Melanie Huml (both CSU) to the parents to vaccinate the children on a voluntary basis. A detailed report on the political positions on this issue, you can find here. What is the view of the Robert Koch Institute? The Robert Koch Institute represents a similar view as the state government. There, it is feared that a mandatory vaccination for the many other voluntary vaccination is likely to be counterproductive – because impfskeptische people show may be an act of defiance. In addition, according to the RKI in the case of measles-not the outbursts of the last years in Germany the children are the Problem, but the adults. In the age group of 18 to 44-Year-old two out of five are, in fact, according to RKI not vaccinated against measles, but especially in the case of adult children, diseases such as measles, often have very serious consequences. Would be to enforce a mandatory vaccination is legally so simple? In purely legal terms, a vaccination is, in principle, possible. In the case of very dangerous virus, the Federal Ministry of health has a regulation, authorisation, and may introduce a compulsory vaccination. So it was, for example, in the case of the smallpox, where it was until 1976 a vaccination. However, the smallpox are also much more dangerous than the measles, one in every three Sufferers die from it. Whether in the case of measles, a vaccination, therefore, is proportionate, is controversial. Many opponents of a mandatory vaccination refer to article 2 of the basic law. The physical integrity is written and a vaccination, so a puncture with possible side effects, is not unproblematic. A nationwide vaccination could also employ the Federal constitutional court. The proposals of the policy of vaccination relate to the inclusion in publicly funded child day-care facilities. For non-vaccinated children, there would be no ""forced vaccination"", the Dodge concerned parents would have for their offspring but to other facilities.",1,"germany"

The Federal government has agreed now, therefore, the mandatory vaccination against measles. Why is the measles spread in lower Saxony, a cause for concern? In lower Saxony the number of diseases has risen dramatically. So far this year, 78 cases were reported, in the year 2018, there were diseases only 18 measles. In the space of Hildesheim, Germany, a woman died in April in measles. Who must be vaccinated? Before a child in the nursery or school, must have his parents there to vaccinate. A simple vaccination is not enough. Parents must provide evidence of the full two-time vaccination of your child. Also, the employees in kindergartens, schools, children's homes, holiday camps, hospitals, doctor's offices, nursing services, care homes and asylum seekers accommodation does not need to be measles immune, in order to transfer the dangerous viral disease. Who controls the lower Saxony ? The head of the institutions, the vaccination records of employees and children present. Which are the authorities that exercise control functions, is still open. The measles vaccination is only to the legislative procedure. Why is the vaccination against measles is important? Measles are a highly contagious viral disease of the skin, not infrequently, brain inflammation, with permanent mental disability and can be fatal. Almost every contact between an unprotected Person and a sick person leads to infection, even from a few meters away. What protects against measles ? A two-fold vaccination in infancy is to protect life from the risk of infection. The vaccines contain live attenuated viruses, which mimic a natural infection. In General, a multiple vaccine is used, which also protects against Mumps and rubella. Currently, the second vaccination is often forgotten, which is at a distance of at least four weeks is required. Immunization Coverage in lower Saxony was therefore the last to 93.3 percent. Target a rate of at least 95 percent is, so measles can't spread. There are exceptions to the vaccination ? Except for people who can tolerate for medical reasons, no vaccination, and all Born in 1970. According to information from the Robert Koch-Institute, you have made a high probability that the measles and are therefore immune. When is the vaccination ? The law is supposed to occur in March 2020. Children who attend school or day care, as well as the employees have until the end of July 2021-time, full measles vaccination to prove.

This should also make non-vaccinated staff and residents in the facilities. Who should not be vaccinated? Pregnant women and people whose defences are weakened system, must not be vaccinated against measles. This includes infants up to the ninth month of life include. When almost all the other citizens are vaccinated, this will increase the safety of these people. Enough of the vaccination for children, and a limited circle of adults to measles curb again? Almost every second measles disease on a nationwide basis, shall, according to the data of the Robert Koch-Institute, in the meantime, in the case of adults. ""The Problem is adults from 18 to 50 years. We assume that any third party is not or only insufficiently protected,“ says Thomas Buck, Chairman of the pediatricians in Hanover, Germany. He suggests, therefore, that the house doctors ask this group at each visit according to the vaccination status. This Impflücke is created according to the country health service, came because the start of the measles vaccination from the beginning of the seventies, part little effective agent is used, the second vaccination was only recommended starting from 1991. Where can I get in lower Saxony see if I can adequately against measles'm protected?

But also for some adults, a vaccination is useful. The main issues for vaccination in the Overview. How often and when will be vaccinated against measles? Children should get between the ages of 11 and 14 months of life the first dose of the combination vaccine against Mumps, measles and rubella (MMR). The second gift is between the ages of 15 and 23 months. At the same time, the Stiko vaccination against chickenpox (Varicella) is recommended. The first can be done at the same time as the MMR vaccination - or at the earliest four weeks later. The second Time, the combined MMR may be-Varicella-vaccine used. You can let children earlier vaccinated? Yes. For example, if the settling in of the children is pending in the crib, you can be a child for nine months should be vaccinated. The second dose may be exercised at the earliest four weeks later administered. A child was vaccinated with nine to ten months, should be given the second dose at the beginning of the second year of life. Should adults be vaccinated? Yes, if you do not or only once vaccinated as a child. Then, the Stiko recommends the one-time vaccination with the MMR vaccine. In particular, persons who were born after 1970 should check their vaccination status and if in doubt, get vaccinated. Who was born earlier, probably has made a measles infection. After contact with Patients can be Affected however, vaccination makes sense. What if I find my immunization records? It is unclear whether it is protected by a past measles infection or vaccination, advises the Stiko vaccination.",1,"germany"

"4560","The ethics Council against measles vaccination in children To measles infections rigorous curb, to get a vaccination for children in certain facilities. This is appropriate? Scientists who advise the German Bundestag, log in doubt. Measles vaccination to curb, nevertheless, is not a private matter To measles infections rigorous, is to get a vaccination for children in certain facilities. This is appropriate? Scientists who advise the German Bundestag, log in doubt. The Grand coalition planned measles vaccination for children in day-care centres and schools is not justified from the point of view of the German ethics Council.

You make it clear that there is a moral obligation to allow themselves and their children against measles should be vaccinated. He consider it necessary to make this obligation binding. The ethics Council recommends information to include information campaigns To gaps, recommended by the ethics Council, a number of measures - government intervention should be available but only at the end. Useful information campaigns to be uncomplicated offers like open Impfsprechstunden for working on days edge, or vaccination reminder systems of family doctors and pediatricians. The few Doctors false information about the measles-spread vaccinations, should the profession be legally held responsible. A ""hard"" state mandatory vaccination, which would ultimately be to enforce with physical coercion, is not justified, explained Wolfram Henn for the competent working group. Also of fines is not recommended. Unvaccinated children from schools or day care centers to exclude, reject the ethics Council - in single the could be cases, limited in time possible. Proposal of a pure measles vaccination, With a view to the planned compulsory for children in day-care centres and schools-emphasizes the ethics Council, then it must be possible to immunize against measles - but there are usually multiple vaccines. The Council also has to bear in mind that children and adolescents are a more vulnerable group with ""impaired decision-making competence"". To take In the views of the profession were rather active, have a special responsibility, for entrusted to people, such as Doctors, nurses or educators. The ethics Council declared that only a small minority of two percent of the population is fundamentally against vaccinations and inaccessible to arguments.

"4571","Vaccinations thanks to the consistent area of vaccinations, the WHO (world health organization) was the ceiling, for example, in the year 1980, in the position to explain the highly infectious smallpox virus in the world to be defeated. Although Germany there is no compulsory vaccination, the Federal Ministry of health related standing Committee on vaccination (STIKO) of the population regularly updated recommendations available. Appropriate recommendations for vaccinations, which are usually carried out by in - house or General practitioners and covered by health insurance financed, are provided in a so-called immunization schedule to. How does a vaccination? Vaccinations contribute in different ways to the immune system of a person with a fight against a specific pathogen, or (to support the rarer case) the immune's defenses in the case of existing infection. Vaccination relevant active ingredients can be administered via an injection or via the oral route (oral polio vaccine). In the context of the most commonly performed active vaccination of the organism are safe vaccines, the weakened or its structure changed contain pathogens. The body responds to this targeted confrontation with the formation of specific antibodies, which will in the future be able to combat the appropriate real in the organism invading pathogens and thus to prevent a disease outbreak. A rarer Form of the vaccination is the so-called passive immunisation. One such measure includes the administration of an anti-serum that provides the body with ready-to-use antibodies are available. Passive immunisation can be used in patients as medically appropriate, which are already infected with a pathogen and the immune response needs to be a support. As a passive vaccination achieved protection in the rule is the case than less in the long term, be found in healthy persons mainly active vaccination application. In order to maintain a achieved infection protection require different vaccinations, regular top-UPS - which vaccines are affected, for example, is obtained from the treating General practitioner or to refer to the immunization schedule of the STIKO. What are some of the diseases vaccinations can protect? Many infectious diseases, against which is achieved by the Vaccination, a vaccination course, belong to the so-called children's diseases. Examples include rubella, measles, chickenpox, Mumps, pertussis or Poliomyelitis (known as polio) are here. The term 'children's disease' does however not mean that only children are at risk by means of appropriate excitation because the responsible viruses and bacteria are highly infectious, if not vaccination, rather usually for a child that age is a disease and not for adults without immunization less dangerous. In addition to the children's diseases listed infection can be prevented through early vaccinations are a variety of other infections, such as Tetanus (lockjaw), diphtheria (respiratory tract infection), flu (Influenza), FSME (early summer meningoencephalitis), or possible chronic liver inflammation due to Hepatitis-A and Hepatitis-B - virus disease. What are the vaccinations in the individual case, as medically appropriate (for example, before the Background of the personal health situation of the professional environment and/or possibly scheduled travel), can be prepared in dialogue with the General practitioner. Common benefits of protection The function of vaccinations immunize actions is limited not only to reach individual protection of the Person being treated. A high participation in vaccination in the population is the prerequisite of a so-called herd immunization - are in a herd or group of many people immune to a disease agent may spread a corresponding infection of the Individual due to a lack of chain of infection less rapidly in individuals without immune protection. In this way, a successful stove contributes immunization to infectious diseases to contain or defeat in the long term, completely. Beneficiaries of a high vaccination Coverage of the population, even infants or immunocompromised people, for whom vaccination is not (yet) possible, not least. Vaccinations are dangerous? Modern vaccines are statements made by the STIKO, according to usually well tolerated and lead to, on average, only about 10% of the patients a slight 2 - to 3-day side effects (signs of the onset of the immune response) such as fatigue, headache, or - in the case of injected vaccines - redness at the injection site. Symptoms are usually harmless and disappear independently. Possible severe allergic reactions or Reactions occur extremely rarely. By the STIKO-recommended vaccinations are based, according to its own information, always on a balancing of the risks and Benefits of appropriate vaccines. Your experts for vaccinations",1,"germany"

Measles vaccination: measles are highly contagious, and contrary to the widespread opinion, not a harmless childhood disease. Although an effective and safe vaccine against measles is available, are reported in Hamburg, still every year new measles infections. In the year 2014 to 2018, there were a total of 133 measles cases. The rates are increased by vaccination in the last few years. But they are still not sufficient to prevent infection entirely. For full Immunization the number of children that received two doses of the vaccine. In the framework of the annual evaluation of the school-entrance examinations could be determined for 2017 that 93.5 percent of the children in Hamburg, which are present in the entrance examinations, a Vaccination, are vaccinated according to the STIKO recommendation, that is, that you have received the first and second measles vaccination. Thus, the vaccination rate is below the world health organisation's recommended value of 95% for measles elimination. is Much more gaps there are in adults. Senator Prüfer-Storcks: ""As we have always done, no immunization of 95 percent of the population, it is right, therefore, that the Federal legislator wants to regulate a mandatory vaccination against measles Federal uniform. It is important that vaccination calls upon both of the Standing Committee on vaccination recommended measles vaccination – or proof that the disease has already been suffered and the person is already immune.“ In order to increase the vaccination rate against measles nationwide, has presented to the Federal Cabinet in July 2019 a draft of a law for protection against measles and to strengthen the Impfprävention (measles protection act). This design provides the mandatory proof of an existing vaccination against measles for children and staff in kindergartens, schools and healthcare. A special feature is also that the Federal unit is governed by that specialist doctors specialist across impfberechtigt. A children's doctor, it should be possible, for example, to vaccinate the Injection of the child, the parents or the wife's doctor, and the children, if vaccination is contraindicated. The Senate supports a Federal regulation for the protection against vaccine-preventable diseases. Flu vaccination: The flu is a serious viral disease of the respiratory organs, which can lead to dangerous complications. It is transmitted from person to person by droplet infection and is extremely contagious. Since the flu viruses change constantly, is developed for each flu season, a current vaccine. For this reason, the flu vaccine must be repeated annually. Only in this way, a reliable protection is guaranteed. In the 2017/2018 season, almost 10,000 flu infections have been reported. The authority for health and consumer protection, to speak with an information campaign, especially at risk people over 60 and people with chronic diseases. Many of the statutory health insurance does not cover the cost of a flu vaccination for all Insured persons, even if they belong to a risk group according to the recommendations of the STIKO. ""Who can be against the flu shot, not only taking responsibility for themselves, but also for his fellow man. This is just for Senior citizens is extremely important because the immune system declines with age and the danger of Infection increases,“ said Senator Prüfer-Storcks. ""Children, people with a weak immune system or Workers in the social Professions should protect themselves and others and about the vaccination at your family doctor or your family doctor to inform them."" The BGV already informed since the beginning of October through posters in the U - and S-Bahn, as well as Info flyers in the books-halls, public universities and health authorities, and thus, makes the important vaccination to your attention.

The reason for the control of vaccination is cases, the increase in the number of measles. In just the first seven weeks of the year were registered by the Robert-Koch – Institute (RKI) in Berlin, according to 132 cases to 46 cases in the same period last year. But worldwide, several countries of larger measles-are affected in epidemics and, among other things, the Ukraine, the Philippines, Madagascar, and now new Zealand. The children's Fund, Unicef, said that recently the Alarm. But why the cases are piling up at the moment? How are measles transmitted? How do I recognize the symptoms? The Federal Ministry of health is the myths about measles on the reason: 1. It is often claimed that measles is a childhood disease that should make each child once. Is that true? Contrary to popular belief, measles is not a harmless childhood disease. Complications such as middle ear, lungs, or brain inflammation is possible. A recent children's disease does not strengthen the organism of the child, but weakens, for example due to a high fever, for many days the body. Possible consequences, such as an inflammation of the brain in the case of measles, which can lead to a life-long intellectual disability, are left out of Eight. 2. Have not we, or our parents as children, also measles and survived well? In fact, many infections heal without consequences, however, can run in a so-called children's diseases, in certain cases, very dramatically. One of 1,000 children who get measles develops inflammation of the brain, the so-called measles encephalitis. Alone 2015 sick 1234 people in Germany in measles. Schools were closed and a Young boy died. 3. The rumor that the measles vaccine can lead to autism or Crohn's disease is true? No, there is no scientific evidence. A fake study is the cause for this persistent rumor: in 1998, A. J. Wakefield published together with other scientists, a study that suspected a link between the measles vaccination and gastro-intestinal symptoms and developmental disorders in twelve children's learning. Further studies could not confirm these findings. Wakefield was proven that he had deliberately falsified data. The corresponding publication has been withdrawn and give him the license to practice medicine revoked. 4. And what is the connection between measles vaccination and allergies? Allergies, especially in children. The cause of non-vaccination, as is often claimed, however, are clear. For example, In the GDR, many more children were vaccinated than in West Germany. Numerous studies have shown that allergies were much rarer than in the former Federal Republic of Germany. After 1989, was also vaccinated in the former GDR is less, at the same time allergies have increased significantly. 5. Vaccination measles are contagious? No. The mild, measles-like skin rash that occurs in some people after vaccination may not be transmitted to other people. Out of this rash is caused by the live virus, which the vaccine contains. 6. Should I let me and my child against measles vaccinations? Basically, only the people should forgo measles vaccination may not be vaccinated for health reasons. Babies under ten months, for example. Because a so-called herd immunity occurs only if 95 percent of the population are protected.",1,"germany"

"4737","Boston. After a measles infection, children are more susceptible to other diseases. Scientists have now found the reasons out. Researchers decipher the dangerous consequences of measles epidemics sometimes provide a great opportunity for the medicine: In the Netherlands In 2013 were infected in an orthodox Protestant community that rejects vaccination, more than 2600 people with measles. Even before the outbreak, doctors had taken in dozens of children at the age of 4 until the age of 13 blood samples. About two months after the recovery, you withdrawals you again blood. Since then, researchers use the samples to study measles infections and their effects. Because the consequences of the virus for the immune system were previously poorly understood. Until now, the extremely contagious measles apply in many places as a harmless children's disease – according to many experts, to be wrong. Although the infection with colds, fever, conjunctivitis, white spots in the mouth caused by and skin rash is associated, in most children, no major acute problems. However, it can lead to complications that are sometimes fatal. Measles: children were to of the disease more vulnerable Because measles weaken the immune system not only during the illness but also afterwards. This could increase the susceptibility to bacterial super infections, the Robert-Koch-Institute (RKI). Such as Bronchitis, middle ear and lung counting, therefore, inflammation and especially feared a post-infectious encephalitis. This inflammation of the brain, according to RKI in about 0.1 percent of the cases, in 10 to 20 percent of patients it is fatal. Now, two international teams of researchers report that the long-term effect of the infection is far more serious. ""The symptoms of measles may be only the tip of the iceberg,"" says Michael Mina, one of the researchers from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute in Boston. The Team analyzed blood samples that had been taken, among other things, 77 children in the Netherlands before and after measles infection. The researchers examined the blood for antibodies against viruses and bacteria, the immune system, according to earlier contact with the respective agents about the flu, chickenpox or pneumonia formed. Result: After the disease, depending on the severity of the gradient between 11 and 73 per cent of the antibody repertoire disappeared. In contrast, the measles vaccine had no immune debilitating effect. ""Imagine the immunity against pathogens, such as a book you have and the photos of offenders contains, in the someone any amount of holes has been punched,"" says Mina, in a communication of the Harvard Medical School. ""If you would see a criminal, it would be much harder to detect him, especially if the holes important face relating to trains, such as the eyes or mouth."" This is the so far clearest indication of immune amnesia – a loss of immune memory. In a second step, the researchers analyzed the development of antibodies in rhesus monkeys with a measles-like Virus infected. In the five months after infection, the monkeys lost an average of 40 to 60 percent of protective antibodies against other pathogens. Two measles studies come to the same conclusion another piece of the Puzzle of the mechanism, the second study, a Team led by Velislava Petrova from the Wellcome Sanger Institute in Cambridge in England presenting in the journal ""Science Immunology"" provides. This Team, including employees of the Paul-Ehrlich-Institute in Langen, analyzed, 26 out of the Dutch children for the detection of pathogens competent B-cells of the immune system. Thus, the diversity of these memory cells, which are necessary for the production of antibodies responsible waned after the infection. ""This study is a direct evidence in humans for an immunological amnesia, in which the immune system forgets how it is to earlier infections should respond,"" says Petrova. The possible consequences under the Team looked at the ferrets that had been vaccinated against flu. After infection with the measles-like pathogen CDV (canine distemper virus) were available from the animals, the antibodies against the flu. The ferrets were, in spite of their vaccination again susceptible to infection. ""This shows that measles could repeal the protection from vaccinations against other infectious diseases,"" concludes Co-author Paul Kellam, infectious disease Loge at Imperial College London. ""Both studies come up with completely different methods to the same conclusion"", says Klaus Überla, Director of the Virological Institute of the University hospital Erlangen. ""This is very convincing."" The reason for the weakening of the immune memory is probably simple: The viruses infect their host cells through a surface protein that occurs on the B - and T-memory cells of the immune system. The destruction of these cell types by the Virus caused the loss of immunological memory. Humans are the only host for the measles virus, ""so Far, it was clear that measles infection leads to a short-term immunosuppression,"" explains Überla, who was not involved in the studies. The number of immune cells regenerate themselves again within a few weeks. ""Clinically, but it was noticeable that children still have in the long term, an increased risk of infection. The man could not explain so far, based on the lab values.“ In the studies shown effects on the immune memory to provide the reason. In a ""Science Immunology""-comment from the immunologist refers to Duane Wesemann of the Harvard Medical School to the features of the measles virus: ""humans are the only host, it causes an aggressive disease with extreme contagion, and it prompted a year-long immunosuppression."" Paradoxically, behind it leave but it is against the measles, even life-long immunity. May be, as experts speculate the destroyed cells of the immune system would be replaced, although again, the newly formed followers of the specific memory is lacking but. Especially important is a better measles protection for poorer countries: ""A normal child resulting from the disease, perhaps with a Dent in the immune system, and his body can handle it,"" says Harvard geneticist Stephen Elledge, Director of the currently in ""Science"" published study. ""But children at the border – such as those with severe measles infection will have serious problems."" He adds: ""The Virus is much more harmful than we thought. This makes vaccination all the more valuable.“",1,"germany"

SPD-health expert Karl Lauterbach appeared at the end of March confident ""that we can soon submit a proposal"". Legally forced to measles should not be to enforce vaccination easily. The scientific service of the Bundestag, had already noted two years ago on constitutional issues. The experts do not exclude the possibility of a mandatory vaccination for certain diseases to enforce, generally speaking. For kindergarten children, this could still work to some extent, in the case of School-children may be more difficult. Beyond the legal problem is that the vaccination is done in several steps, and then to take effect. Must be decided, among other things, about the vaccine and about whether or not there are triple or quadruple shots. Measles are highly contagious and can extend in rare cases, even fatal. In Brandenburg, it should be according to the will of the country tags in the future, a measles vaccination for children in day-care centres. The Parliament decided on Thursday evening with a large majority a request from the red-red governing coalition and the CDU Opposition.

At the same time, the government should introduce an initiative in the Bundesrat. If that were so, would it anyway, more than what had been decided by the Federal government in the last parliamentary term, to stricter rules.

Measles is a vaccine preventable illness that can cause coughing, fever, and rashes. It can also be fatal in cases.  BBC News reports that WHO's Kate O'Brien said that the countries who have lost their eradication status each have ""extremely high"" vaccination coverage.  Countries are declared to be measles-free when there is no endemic transmission over a 12 month period.  ""We are backsliding, we are on the wrong track,"" said O'Brien.  ""This is the alarm bell that is ringing around the world: being able to achieve high national coverage is not enough, it has to be achieved in every community, and every family for every child.  ""We have a worrying trend that all regions are experiencing an increase in measles except for the region of the Americas, which has seen a small decline.""

"5279","27th November 2019  PRESS RELEASE  4,500 children under five have died from measles in the Democratic Republic of the Congo so far this year – UNICEF  Measles has caused more than twice as many deaths as Ebola  UNICEF Ireland Executive Director Peter Power is available for interview  DUBLIN/KINSHASA, 27 November 2019 – Since the beginning of the year, more than 5,000 people have died due to measles in the Democratic Republic of Congo, over 90 per cent of them children under the age of five.  While the Ebola outbreak, which has claimed more than 2,000 lives in the Eastern DRC, has commanded sustained international attention, measles, which has claimed more than twice as many lives, continues to be underreported.  Efforts to tackle both measles and Ebola in the DRC are hindered by continuing instability, particularly in the Eastern region of country. Indeed, recent days have seen an increase in violence around the city of Beni, an Ebola hotspot. While UNICEF teams are continuing to support the Ebola response, UNICEF Executive Director Henrietta Fore has expressed concern about the impact on children.  “I’m very alarmed by the recent violence in Beni, DRC, and the impact it will have on the health and well-being of children. I visited the area earlier this year and saw first-hand the difference aid workers can make, working closely with the local community. UNICEF has kept a small team in Beni to support the Ebola response. We’re monitoring the situation closely and hope things return to normal as soon as possible.”  Speaking about the wider effort to tackle measles in the DRC, UNICEF Representative in the DRC Edouard Beigbeder described a number of interlinked challenges. “Violence and insecurity, lack of access to healthcare and shortages of vaccines and medical kits in the worst-affected areas have meant that thousands of children have missed out on vaccinations, with potentially deadly consequences. Cultural beliefs and traditional healthcare practices also often get in the way of vaccinating children against measles and treating those with symptoms.  “Despite the many challenges, we have the tools and the knowledge to prevent measles with a safe, effective and affordable vaccine. The key is to reach every single child, no matter where they are.  UNICEF and partners are conducting measles vaccination campaigns in the worst-affected areas, and supplying clinics with medicine to treat symptoms. UNICEF has distributed 1,317 medical measles kits – containing antibiotics, rehydration salts, Vitamin A and other medicines – to affected health zones to treat children with complications.  Mr Beigbeder described the organisation’s measures as ‘a short-term solution’ and highlighted the importance of immunisation programmes: “Significant investment in strengthening DRC’s national vaccination programme and wider health care systems is crucial to guarantee the health and wellbeing of the country’s children.”  ###  Notes for editors:  Multimedia materials available here  Find out more about UNICEF’s work for children in the DRC here: https://www.unicef.org/drcongo/en  About UNICEF  UNICEF works in some of the world’s toughest places, to reach the world’s most disadvantaged children.

There are 12 confirmed cases in Dublin with most cases in North Dublin and a smaller outbreak of measles in Meath with five confirmed cases.  Children and adults have been affected and measles is now circulating in the community in Dublin and Meath. Dr. Deirdre Mulholland, Director of Public Health for HSE East, said “measles can be a serious illness and is highly contagious. The best protection is to be fully vaccinated with two doses of MMR vaccine.” The HSE advises that everyone should be aware of the possible risk of spread of measles whenever groups of people gather and particularly when attending healthcare services such as GPs or Emergency Departments.  The Measles Outbreak Control Team continues to investigate measles cases and has repeated the following advice on the measures to control the further spread of this potentially serious illness:-  MMR vaccination measures  All children should get the MMR vaccine when they are aged 12 months. If any child aged over 12 months has missed this vaccine they should get it now from their General Practitioner (GP). All children should get a second dose of MMR vaccine when they are 4-5 years old or in Junior Infants at school. If any child in Senior Infants or older has missed this vaccine they should get it now from their GP. Adults under 40 years who have not had measles or have not received 2 doses of MMR vaccine should contact their GP to get the MMR vaccine.  Measures to prevent the spread of measles if you think you may have measles:-  Do not go to work, school or creche. Stay at home and phone your GP. Tell the doctor or nurse that you think you might have measles. Stop visitors coming to the house to prevent the spread of measles. Pregnant women who have been exposed to measles should seek medical advice as soon as possible.  Measles can be a serious disease and is very contagious. The best protection against measles is two doses of MMR vaccine. People who have not been fully vaccinated with MMR vaccine or have not had measles in the past are at high risk of getting measles if exposed. Those most at risk of catching measles are children and adults who are not fully vaccinated with two doses of MMR vaccine.  Alerts regarding measles have been sent to all Emergency Departments and GPs in Dublin, and Meath. Work is ongoing in identifying close contacts of cases who are being notified and advised by Public Health.  More about measles  Measles is highly contagious and is spread easily. The time between exposure to measles and developing the rash is usually 14 days (range 7-21 days). People are infectious from four days before rash starts until four days after.  Measles symptoms include:-  High fever  Cough  Runny nose  Red eyes  Red rash that starts on head and spread down the body - this normally starts a few days after onset of illness. The rash consists of flat red or brown blotches, which can flow into each other. It lasts about 4-7 days.  Vomiting, diarrhoea and tummy pain may also happen.  Complications of measles  Measles can cause chest infections, fits, ear infections, swelling of the brain and brain damage.  Measles is a notifiable disease and GPs and hospital clinicians should immediately notify public health if they suspect someone has measles.

You are vaccinated two family contacts, two parents of infants and health care professionals. “We are faced with, unfortunately, in a worrying situation. For this I am more and more convinced that the compulsory vaccination is the right way – explains Fabrizio Ferreira, president of the Health Commission – At the national level, about 30% of cases of measles that have been reported concerning health care staff is not vaccinated. For this, one is studying a measure that will allow the health care staff is not vaccinated and access to vaccination”. This episode, which was readily controlled by the integrated efforts of the staff of the different organizational structures of the AV 2 ASUR Senigallia, it indicates how the epidemic of measles in Italian is still active and needs the attention and awareness of all citizens that vaccination is an indispensable tool for not put you at risk of serious consequences, in particular those most vulnerable, in this case pregnant women and infants. In this context confirms the need to adhere to the part of the parents to the new legislation that makes it obligatory, among other, also the vaccination for measles for their children. It is an essential tool to prevent the circulation of the virus and then protect the entire population, even those that cannot be vaccinated, such as – in this case – infants. The epidemic of measles the match in the early months of 2017 involved in the chain of transmission, even young adults, caregivers, and school staff. In the Marche region during the first half of 2017 have been notified of the 53 confirmed cases of measles. In the previous years were notified 14 cases in 2012, 56 cases in 2013, 41 cases in 2014, 1 in 2015, and 7 cases in 2016. With regard to the cases notified this year, 89% were not vaccinated, 4% had received only one dose of vaccine, in the 7% of the cases the vaccination was not known. It should be noted that immunization coverage in children of 24 months for a dose of vaccine against measles, mumps, and rubella (MPR) in 2016 in the Marche region was 83% (Uk: 87%). The World Health Organization fixed at 95%, the safety threshold minimum for the coverage of vaccines: below 95% pathogens continue to circulate, putting at risk the health of all. This is the threshold related to the so-called immunity of the flock (or of the population or heard immunity): in fact, if at least 95% of the population is vaccinated, you protect, indirectly, also those who, for health reasons, it has not been possible to submit to vaccination”.",1,"italy"
"7194","Measles has become an emergency, especially in Sicily. In just two months, our country has recorded 400 cases, 200 of which are in the south of Italy. For this reason it has been devised an extraordinary plan that is able to dispose quickly of the huge waiting lists related to the administration of vaccines. The disease esantematica is becoming a real health emergency and it is essential to act soon to stem the problem. The epidemic of measles there is only sporadic cases, but in Sicily it is talking about a real epidemic. For this reason, it is necessary to take measures as soon as possible, in order to avoid further infections. In order to limit the number of cases has intervened in the Health councillor of the Region of Sicily Roger Breed, who believes that the only way to resolve the situation is to make more efficient the mode of administration of the vaccines. Too many deaths from The measles is flailing more and more people and killing a large number of victims if you think that just a few days ago is dead another child just ten months, the fourth in Catania. These, and other data, have emerged throughout the day of the technical board for the monitoring of the vaccination that was held in Palermo. In that place were also the directors of the services of prevention, the heads of the central operational 118 and Sergio Pintaudi, contact person for the biocontenimento and safety health and primary of the intensive care ward of the Garibaldi hospital in Catania. Vaccines, vaccines and even vaccines, Unfortunately, there is only one method to curb the problem: all people should receive the vaccines. At the time the number of vaccinated was raised considerably thanks to the law on compulsory vaccination, but all this relates only to children and adolescents up to 16 years. There are still many adults who are not protected and, in fact, the epidemic has involved many persons of middle age. The fight over the whole field But so that you can vaccinate a large number of people, and rather quickly, it is necessary to ""increase the vaccinators"", bearing in mind that measles ""is becoming less and less a pediatric disease,"" explains Sergio Pintaudi, who recalls that the monitoring of the vaccination coverage will end at the end of the month, as expected by the decree Lorenzin. The fight against the diseases most feared, therefore, remains open, but this time with particular attention to the adult population. What is measles measles is an infection caused by a virus of the genus morbillivirus, which, in turn, is part of the group of Paramixovidae. Like so many others of its kind is transmitted with ease via the air, through droplets of saliva and sneezing. It is important to emphasize, however, that a person can be contagious for up to 2-3 days before the onset of the rash. A paediatric disease? The measles along with rubella, mumps, chicken pox and whooping cough are always considered to be pediatric diseases, but in recent years seem to involve more adults and children. The problem is probably due to the fact that the children have been vaccinated and the adults no, therefore the virus is proving to be the most aggressive age ranges completely different. It is important to emphasize that the measles vaccine is not new: the first were introduced in Italy since the eighties. Symptoms of measles The symptom most characteristic is the typical rash that manifests in the form of red spots that affect the entire body, starting from the head. Generally, before the appearance of red spots, you can feel flu-like symptoms with fever up to 40 degrees. The symptoms usually lasts 7-10 days, and the incubation period can be of a similar duration, up to a maximum of 12 days. After the subsidence of the fever, the rash begins to regress until you reach full recovery. Stains Köplik typically, one or two days before the rash appears of small lesions, whitish, surrounded by a red halo on the buccal mucosa (often in correspondence of the molars), these are defined spots of Köplik. Danger of death cases of death are rare but interesting about 30-100 deaths per one hundred thousand people infected. Are typically affected, most people immunocompromesse or babies. Typical complications are otitis, and laryngitis, pneumonia or encephalitis. Treatment If the progression is normal are not necessary specific treatments, if not the paracetamol to reduce fever or medicines that reduce the symptoms of conjunctivitis, otitis, or other events are typical.",1,"italy"
"7195","After measles even the 'mumps' are coming back in some communities in the Usa, so much so that a committee of experts has for the first time recommended to do a recall of the vaccine for those who have already been immunized twice.

"7244","Recent trends show that the main cause of the epidemic of measles, which affects several european Countries, is the decrease in the vaccination coverage, which can be attributed mainly to the diffusion of theories antiscientifiche. However, he is not the only cause. A new study by researchers from the Bocconi Veronica Toffolutti, Alessia Melegaro and David Stuckler and Martin McKee (London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine), and Walter Ricciardi (president of the Higher Institute of Health) also shows that the cuts to public expenditure on health play an important role, with the vaccination coverage against measles, mumps and rubella, which decreased by 0.5 percentage points for every cut spending by 1%. The research is published in the European Journal of Public Health. Scholars compare the vaccination coverage at age 24 months of age in 20 Italian regions with the respective expenditure on health real annual per-capita for the period 2000-2014, once considered the strength of the anti-vax. “We have observed that public health spending in Italy grew consistently from 2000 to 2009 at an average annual rate of 3.5%, while it contracted by about 2% per year between 2010 and 2014. Similarly, the coverage, the MPR increased from 74,1% in 2000 to 90.6% in 2012, to then reverse course, descending to 85,1% in 2014, well below the 95% which is the immunity of the flock,” says Veronica Toffolutti. Since the cuts were different from region to region, the authors can compare the effects of different variations and observed that the regions that have suffered the most from the budget cuts have also registered the greatest decline in the vaccination coverage, while the regions that have managed to increase their health budget have even been able to improve the coverage of MPR. The Valle d'aosta, for example, reported a decline of 6% in health expenditure and 11% of the coverage MPR, while Sardinia, with an increase of 2% of total expenditure, recorded an increase in the immunization, equal to 3.8%. On average, a decrease of 0.5 percentage points of the coverage, the MPR corresponds to a reduction of 1% of the expenditure. “Our analysis suggests that the austerity measures adopted in Italy have contributed significantly to the resurgence of measles”, the authors write. “Italy is facing the problem of the low rate of vaccination with a combination of legislative measures and budget increases. It will be important to monitor these developments, not only to inform policy in Italy, but throughout Europe, where many Countries are now facing similar problems”. No related article",1,"italy"

"7311","WASHINGTON – “Populism, politics, and the measles“: is the title of an editorial in the New York Times takes aim at the 5-star Movement and warns about the danger that “in these times of post-truth” may be ”lies, conspiracy theories and the illusions spread by social media and by populist politicians”. Among the examples cited, the opposition to vaccines has led to a serious spread of measles in Italy and some other european Countries. The newspaper reminds us that even the american president Donald Trump has fueled the skepticism about vaccines, supporting the hypothesis (unfounded) of a link with autism. ”In Italy, – writes the newspaper – the populist movement Five stars (M5s) led by comedian Beppe Grillo did actively campaign on a platform of anti vaccines, by repeating the false links between vaccinations and autism. For these and other skeptics, the spread of measles in Italy, it should sound like a loud alarm,” said the New York Times, citing the increase in cases by 2015. ”The M5s – notes the newspaper – perhaps it is not responsible for the entire spread, given that scepticism about the vaccine is prior to the growth of the party. But the percentage of children immunized has declined steadily in recent years. To fight the skepticism about vaccines – said the newspaper – it is not easy, because not even the countless studies health that they will deny any link between vaccines and autism have failed to penetrate the thick cloud stretched from Cricket and people like him. The spread of measles provides to health authorities an opportunity to strengthen their argument by emphasizing the concrete evidence of what inevitably follows when the vaccination drops.

"7317","Measles in infants, the risks Of Patrizia Chimera Wednesday, November 21, 2018 What are the risks and complications of measles in infants? We have already spoken in the past of the measles in children, with particular reference to the symptoms. Let us briefly recall that the measles is an infectious disease caused by a virus belonging to the genus Morbillivirus, the family of the Paramixoviridae. It is a contagious disease that typically affects children between 1 and 3 years of life, the reason for which is inserted between the childhood diseases together with the German measles, chicken pox, whooping cough, and mumps (mumps). However, it is not uncommon that it affects even adults and, recently, there have been observed cases of measles in infants, have never been seen before. Once took the measles usually provides an immunization for the whole life. Today we are going to deal with the measles from a particular point of view: the risk of measles in infants. Measles in infants: complications and risks If it is true that the base form of the measles usually does not cause severe symptoms (rash, high fever, cough, conjunctivitis, desquamation of the skin), the problem are the complications. They are not frequent, but are common to a number of deaths each year. In addition, the complications, often caused by superinfection of bacteria, you see it in infants, in malnourished children and in people immunosuppressed. These complications are: otitis media, laryngitis diarrhea weak immune system (for up to three years after the disease) pneumonia encephalitis (encephalitis morbillosa and panencefalite sclerosing subacute) (encephalitis morbillosa and panencefalite sclerosing subacute) death has Recently also been reported to increase problems with: hematological myocarditis Before we have said that the measles usually affects children from the year of the waist. This is because, in theory, up to the sixth-ninth month the baby should be protected by maternal antibodies. But be careful: this is only if the mother has had her same measles previously or if it has been vaccinated. It remains, however, a lapse of time between the end of maternal antibodies and the possibility to vaccinate the newborn, where the baby is discovered and vulnerable to the virus. For this reason, it is important to ensure a good immunity to the flock and to avoid that these babies end up with contracting the measles. With regard to pregnant women, and measles, it is seen that contracting the measles in the early months of gestation with a slight increase in the probability of spontaneous abortion. It is rare, but can happen. You do not know, however, is still the effects of viral infection on the fetus. In case the woman contracts measles in the last weeks before the birth, it is possible that the small is born already sick with the measles. This is why it is recommended to those who has not made the measles, and want to have a child, get vaccinated before pregnancy. This is because during the pregnancy you can not do the vaccination. The increase In cases of measles in infants, pediatricians warn: there is an ongoing outbreak of measles in Italy. You can see much more frequently, cases in newborns, cases that before were not visible, increased hospital admissions for complications and side effects are never mentioned. Moreover, the rate of mortality is highest among children and infants, as revealed by studies of the ECDC a patient in 1000 dies, and among these the mortality rate is greater in children. Do you think that children under a year of life were six times more likely to die than children of two years or more, while babies under one year of life have a probability seven times greater than dying.

And 37% of the subjects are finished to be hospitalized for complications"". So the professor Giancarlo Icardi, department of hygiene of the University of Genoa track the balance on the cases of the spread of the measles virus in 2019. Numbers of concern for a highly contagious disease, and that among its most obvious effects include: skin rash that most often resolves spontaneously but may, in cases of relatively rare, loss of sight, loss of hearing, permanent brain damage. The signs and initial symptoms typically include fever, often exceeding 40 degrees, cough, runny nose and red eyes. ""Critical to prevent the spread of the virus is vaccine - explains Icardi -.

In the first six months of 2016 in two Italian Regions were outbreaks among the population of Roma/Sinti people and health professionals, measles is far from eradicated in Italy: in 2016, the cases have doubled compared to the previous year. Between November 2015 and April 2016 there has been an epidemic of measles in the Italian Regions, which involved particularly the Roma/Sinti (in Lombardy) and the scope hospital (Emilia-Romagna). In total, there have been reported 67 cases, all linked epidemiologically and/or virologically, of which 43 cases in three roma camps in Milan, 17 cases in Parma, and seven in Piacenza. The epidemic was described in the article “Outbreak of a new measles B3 variant in the Roma/Sinti population with transmission in the nosocomial setting, Italy, November 2015 to april 2016” (Eurosurveillance, Volume 21, Issue 20, 19 May 2016). Forty of the 43 cases occurred in Milan involved the subjects of Roma/Sinti, and 3 cases related to migrants residing in camps involved in the outbreak. The median age was 4 years (range: 5 months-29 years) and all except one case, were not vaccinated at the time of the infection. The outbreak then spread in the cities of Parma and Piacenza, especially in the hospital, after admission, of Parma, of an infected patient (to be used in the vicinity of one of the Roma camps involved from the outbreak of the milanese), and the transmission of the virus to some users and health care professionals. In total, 7 of the 17 cases reported in Parma were health care workers. The median age of the cases of Parma was 37 years (range: 22-49 years), and none of these had been vaccinated against the measles. In Piacenza, the outbreak, which originated from an employee in the hospital, involving 7 people, all of them non-vaccinated, with a median age of 40 years (range: 35-68 years). In addition to the index case (employee of the hospital), there were 4 cases among health care workers and 2 cases among the relatives of the latter.

More than a third of the cases was hospitalized. Italy is one of the 18 member States of the european Region of Who in which has not yet been interrupted endemic transmission of measles and, as highlighted in the article, you continue to experience outbreaks with numerous complications and hospitalizations. The epidemic was caused by a new variant of genotype B3 of measles virus, probably introduced in Italy from an imported case. The same variant was identified in the cases of measles reported in Spain, Germany and the United Kingdom, and more recently in Romania. Yet, according to the strategy developed by the Ministry of Health, the disease would disappear between 2011 and 2015. Also in the month of October 2016 were reported 58 cases of measles, bringing to 650 the cases (possible, probable or confirmed) in total reported from the beginning of the year.

With the rates of adherence to the vaccination as the current ones, which are high, but not optimal (85%), the disease is manifested with outbreaks of limited size and with the distance of several years that affect persons not vaccinated in adolescence or young adults. All persons not vaccinated or who have not contracted the disease are susceptible to measles: there is no natural immunity or innate resistance to this disease. The measles virus is highly contagious and the only preventive measure to avoid that is to vaccination: for this reason it is highly recommended to all the children, but also to teenagers and young adults who have never been vaccinated. The vaccine is safe and the risks arising from possible side effects are much lower, for severity and frequency to the risks of contracting the disease. The contraindications to the vaccine are extremely rare, and are always identified by health professionals prior to administration. The failure to achieve the goal of elimination of measles in Italy is due to a fall of the attention from all of the vaccinations is to have an attitude of underestimation of the disease, wrongly considered to be benign but, instead, in a significant percentage of cases, can give rise to complications that are sometimes serious, such as pneumonia, otitis medium sized, diarrhea, thrombocytopenia, and neurological damage.",1,"italy"

Today there are just two days that has no discharge and no fever... in the morning he would have had to make the call “meningococcal b”.

At the global level 19.4 million children in the world are still not fully protected from diseases easily preventable, and preventable by vaccines, Including the measles. In spite of the fact there is an available vaccine safe and effective, measles remains a leading cause of death among children. In 2015, there have been in the world 134 200 deaths due to this infectious disease, in the majority of cases in children under 5 years of age, approximately 367 deaths per day, 15 deaths every hour. Between 2000 and 2015, it is estimated that vaccination has prevented approximately 20.3 million dead, by encouraging a decline in measles deaths of 79%. In 2015, approximately 85% of the world's children received one dose of measles vaccine within the first year of life, in 2000 the coverage was 73%. But despite the progress made, every year 1.5 million children die due to vaccine-preventable diseases. And despite more and more children have access to immunization programs, since 2010, the increase in the global coverage was just 1%. Progress is very slow, that endangers the health of children. Even today there are still countries in the world where the vaccination is still struggling to overcome the 80% share, with a gap still strong compared to the 95% needed to ensure protection from the disease on a large scale.",1,"italy"

The Country is facing the largest outbreak of this infectious disease, its history, with the number of registered cases growing to over 115,000 by October 2018, according to estimates from the world health Organization (Who). Unlike the epidemics that are occurring in other parts of the world, the United States in the first place where there is emerging a troubling skepticism about vaccinations – reminiscent of the ‘Telegraph on line’ – the epidemic of Madagascar comes in part from a lack of resources and unfortunately still continues to expand, although at a slower pace than a month ago, said Dossou Vincent Sodjinou, epidemiologist at the Who in Madagascar. Only 58% of the people on the main island of Madagascar is vaccinated against measles, and this is clearly an important factor in the spread of the disease, which has killed mostly children under 15 years of age by the beginning of September. But many parents are often unaware of the fact that vaccines in the Country are free. There are few cases of resistance on the grounds of religion. The ministry of Health of Madagascar has sent free drugs intended to treat the symptoms of the disease in the regions most affected by the epidemic. At the end of last month the Who has also launched a third campaign of mass vaccination, with the general aim to reach 7.2 million children aged 6 months to 9 years.",1,"italy"

These are the new numbers disclosed by the minister of Health Beatrice Lorenzin, who has also specified among the 164 cases, there have been many hospitalizations for pulmonary complications. “Unfortunately, the data are not good,” added the minister. “Vaccination remains the only weapon of defence”.

"7495","The WHO (World Health Organization) is currently working to try to support Madagascar in the fight against the epidemic of measles broke out in that african Country in September 2018. Measles is an infectious disease highly contagious disease that strikes children between 1 and 3 years (but which can of course affect anyone) and for which there is no specific treatment except to relieve the symptoms and cure (when possible) of any complications, in anticipation of his course. According to the data provided by the WHO, the epidemic in Madagascar is certainly unusual: there have been so far reported 117.075 cases of infection with about 1200 deaths. Children between the ages of 1 and 14 years (males and females in equal proportions), unfortunately, represent 64% of the total cases. The mortality rate currently stands at about 1% of all reported cases. A given perplexing, however, should also be interpreted in the light of the structural problems facing Madagascar, both from the point of view of the sanitation deficit, both from the point of view of the overall well-being of the population. Madagascar has the highest rate of malnutrition in children under 5 years of age in the african region (47%), and health not always impeccable (“It was my 6 year old daughter contracted the measles first. He had high fever, I called the doctor but it was Friday and he was already back in the city. I contacted another doctor who has diagnosed an allergy”), and clear the difficulty in finding public money to put in place effective interventions for the prevention and treatment of diseases. In addition, many cases of measles have occurred in remote areas of the Country, and the mortality rate was definitely raised by the presence of other epidemics, co-occurring, such as the plague. In addition to the immediate management of the emergency for effective control of the epidemic, the WHO is collaborating with the authorities of the malagasy to launch specific immunization campaigns and strengthen the routine immunization so as to achieve and maintain a vaccination coverage of 95% (the threshold recommended to contain the spread of epidemics). At the time of the beginning of the infection in Madagascar, in fact, the estimated coverage of vaccination against measles was only 58% and more than half of the reported cases during the current epidemic (51%) had not received the vaccination, or were persons whose immune status was not known. Despite the specificity of the case of Madagascar, the numbers are staggering and should serve as a warning to never forget the fundamental importance of the vaccination and the immunity of the flock. With the expression of immunity, and of the flock “means a phenomenon where, once you reach a level of vaccination coverage (for a given infection) is considered sufficient within the population, can be considered safe, people who have not vaccinated” (as in https://www.fondazioneveronesi.it). If only the vaccine had caused half of the deaths caused by the disease (on the same case) the thing would have been considered unacceptable. It is important that may soon be considered equally unacceptable to the belief that the vaccine is more dangerous than the disease itself (endorsing maybe slogan already seen as a “32 antigens at 13 months of life, an abomination pharmacological” or “vaccines prevent the transmission nervosa = mental disorders”), and that, therefore, it is safer not to vaccinate their children. “I had 5 kids, all of them had contracted the measles. Not that we took the last one from the doctor but I left with his older brother and told him to give him the necessary drugs to bring down the fever. It seemed to be healed",1,"italy"

As pointed out by the same researchers, the results demonstrate that “measles is more dangerous than we imagined” and that “the vaccine has benefits even greater than expected”, since that can also protect from secondary infections to the disease. Their vaccination has broken down to 80% of the cases of measles in the world between 2000 and 2017, saving 2.1 million of lives, but because of the most recent campaigns, no-vax, the trend was reversed, so that the number of cases from 2018 to the present day is increased by 300%.

Assess the impact of vaccination was the aim of the study was published on Science from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute in Boston with the Harvard Medical School and the Erasmus University Medical Center Rotterdam. The researchers used the test VirScan to analyze children's blood and measure the levels of thousands of antibodies directed against viruses and bacteria. The examination, made before the measles, and two months after the infection, revealed that the disease clears from 11 to 73% of the defenses antibody. The same test is repeated on the macaques first of the measles and five months after the infection, has confirmed the loss of 40-60% of the antibodies. The graphical representation of the internal structure of the measles virus (source: Pixnio) complementary Results were obtained from the second study, published in Science, Immunology from the british Wellcome Sanger Institute with the University of Amsterdam. Always conducted on the same group of 77 children protestant orthodox non-vaccinated, shows that the measles due to the loss of specific cells of the immune memory, leaving the children vulnerable as infants are unable to respond to new infections. The effects of this temporary amnesia immune responses have been tested on ferrets vaccinated against the flu: a time affected by the measles have lost most of their antibodies, so as to become again susceptible to the flu, with symptoms even more severe. This proves, therefore, that measles can also erase the effects of the vaccinations done against other infectious diseases, and therefore, the researchers suggest doctors to strengthen the defences of the patients healed from measles by the recalls of the vaccines routinely administered previously.

"7523","Article Measles: causes and symptoms measles is an infectious disease caused by the contagion virus. Contracts very easy to contact, even indirect, with infectious fluids, and air. Measles is manifested initially with symptoms typical of colds: runny nose, sore throat, slight fever, and then show the red spots/brown on the body, starting from the face and extended then on the chest and limbs, internal temperature more and more high, and sometimes conjunctivitis. It affects the respiratory system and, in cases of immunosuppression, malnutrition and lack of diagnosis and treatment, may be associated with several complications: the virus that measles weakens the immune system, making the person who has contracted very vulnerable to bacteria. Can be, in fact, contracted pneumonia, bronchitis, and infections can also be severe to the ears. The incubation period is 10 days and the illness is about 7 days. Vaccination against measles has been included among the compulsory vaccinations in 2017. The disease can affect both children and adults. Essential oils against measles measles usually occurs only once in your life. Are rare cases in which contracts two times during the period of several years. Measles, once a contract, it cannot be cured: the disease makes its course. The only thing you can do is to alleviate the symptoms and provide care that avoids complications and infection. It is important to keep those who contracted the measles at rest, while monitoring the temperature. It is also important to take care of the related symptoms, such as sore throat, conjunctivitis, and cough. You need to avoid touching the spots that occur on the body: in this way you can avoid the extension of the rush of skin and decreases the probability of contagion. To disinfect the environment, it is possible to use a mixture of essential oils antiviral: tea tree and thyme can be used as a mixture in a diffuser, or spray to spray in the environment. The camphor oil carries anti-bacterial action. To relieve the itching sensation is useful to use the essential oil of peppermint: if it melts one drop in 10 ml of water, and dab on individual vesicles. Finally, to soften the skin and give relief, and speed healing, it is very useful to have a synergistic blend that contains essential oil of roman chamomile, calming and sedative, combined with lavender, anti-inflammatory and analgesic: in 100 ml of water, dissolve 3 drops each of these oils. Use a sponge or a clean towel, is immersed in the water, squeeze it well, you go on the body. This mixture allows you to calm the itch and irritation and helps the skin to eliminate the rash.",1,"italy"
"7533","Ecdc is an assessment of the risk of the spread also in the rest of Europe (From Epicentre revised and adapted) From February 2016, in Romania, during a large outbreak of measles, which were already reported 3071 cases and 16 deaths. The refers the European Centre for disease Prevention and Control (Ecdc) in the Rapid Risk Assessment published on march 3, 2017. All cases were laboratory-confirmed, or are linked to confirmed cases. Cases: 58.5% (1796 cases) occurred in children under 5 years of age. The state of vaccination: the 96.3% of the cases was not vaccinated, 2.6% had received only one dose of the measles vaccine, and 1.1% had received both doses provided. Morbidity: All deaths occurred among people with weak immune system or for the association of other causes of morbidity. Measures of public health: to try to contain the spread of the infection in the Country is in the course of a widespread vaccination campaign against measles. Health authorities in romania have lowered the age of administration of the first dose of the vaccine from 12 to 9 months, and recommend that all children up to 9 years of age are vaccinated with two doses of the vaccine. Finally, to increase the awareness of the parents has been established a network of nurses in the community and have been produced communication materials ad hoc. The last report of the Commission on European Regional verification of measles elimination and rubella, ranking Romania as a Country with endemic transmission of measles. The situation in Europe In 2016, several European Countries, including France, Ireland, England, Scotland, and Italy have recorded outbreaks of measles. In 2017, there has been a general increase in the number of cases and are ongoing outbreaks in Austria, Germany and Italy (238 cases in the month of January 2017). The vaccination coverage in Europe, The vaccine coverage for measles is still insufficient in many European Countries. The latest available data provided by the World Health Organization (Who) show that the majority of the Countries of the european region, a vaccination coverage for the second dose of vaccine antimorbillo is lower than 95%. In addition, in 13 Countries (including Italy), the vaccination coverage for the first dose is lower than 95%. Risk assessment for the Eu Considering the size of the current epidemic in progress, recent historical trends, and levels of vaccination coverage below 90%, the risk of transmission on a continuous basis of measles in Romania is high. This poses a risk of exportation of the infection to other European Countries, with the possible dissemination in Countries where the vaccination coverage for measles is low. In the Rapid Risk Assessment, Ecdc stresses that vaccination is the only measure of effective prevention against measles (a level of coverage greater than 95% for both doses is necessary to interrupt the circulation of measles virus and to prevent any secondary cases by imports) and remember that it is necessary to strengthen the national programmes of immunization, including facilitating access to immunizations, and improve the tools to identify people who are unvaccinated, or vaccinated but only partially. Directions for the traveler: Finally, it is recommended that vaccination with two doses of the vaccine to all travellers likely travelling in Romania and who do not have contraindications to vaccination. The situation in italy in Italy, the vaccination coverage for the first and second dose of the measles vaccine are both less than 90% (data 2015), and those for the first dose are very similar to those found in Romania.

According to the data of the cases diagnosed in England in the first half of 2018, are more than double of all of those recorded in 2017. The main cause is to be attributed to the holidaymakers who contracted the disease in Italy and then return to England. “It's really discouraging if we think of how we were close to the complete disappearance of the disease,” said Helen Stokes-Lampard, president of the royal College of physicians. According to data released by Phe, the last year in Europe were registered, 20 thousand cases of measles, with 48 deaths starting from 2016.

And’ what emerges from the new data released yesterday by Unicef, on the occasion of the world Week of immunization. According to the report of the United Nations Agency for children, at the global level in the first 3 months of 2019 were reported more than 110 thousand cases of measles, an increase of 300% compared to the same period of 2018. About 110 thousand people, many of them children – reported to the Unicef, in a note – died of measles in 2017, an increase of 22% compared to the previous year. Two doses of the measles vaccine is essential to protect children from the disease. However, due to lack of access, inadequate health care systems, the carelessness and, in some cases, the fear and the skepticism about vaccines, the global coverage of the first dose of the vaccine anti-measles in 2017 was 85%, and this figure remained relatively constant in the last decade, despite population growth. The global coverage for the second dose is much lower, equal to 67%. The Who – it has remembered the Agency – recommended threshold of 95% immunization coverage to reach the so-called immunity of the flock. According to the latest data, in high-income Countries the coverage is 94% for the first dose and 91%for the second. The United States is at the top of the list of the 10 rich Countries with the greatest number of children (over 2.5 million) who have not received the first dose of the vaccine between 2010 and 2017. Followed by France and the United Kingdom, with over 600 thousand and 500 thousand children not vaccinated in the same period. Italy is in fifth place with a well 435,000.

In 2017, for example, Nigeria had the highest number of children under the age of 1 year who had not received the first dose of the vaccine, about 4 million, followed by India with 2.9 million, Pakistan and Indonesia with 1.2 million each, and Ethiopia with 1.1 million. And the levels of global coverage for the second dose of the measles vaccine are even more alarming. Of the 20 Countries with the largest number of children not vaccinated in 2017, 9 have not introduced the second dose. Twenty Countries in sub-saharan Africa have not introduced the second dose is necessary in the national program of vaccination, exposing more than 17 million infants a year at a much higher risk of measles during their childhood. The growth in the number of children not vaccinated, said the Agency, has created the conditions for outbreaks of measles, which today affect several Countries of the world. “The ground for the outbreaks of measles we are seeing today was laid years ago, "" said Henrietta Fore, the director-general of Unicef – The measles virus, you will always find children that aren't vaccinated.

They are isolated cases, two of which are infected outside of the uk. A very positive element, given that in 2017 were 78, which places our region among the three best of Italy, after the autonomous Province of Trento and Sardinia. This result is related to the excellent coverage of mandatory vaccinations, in children born in the last years, which ensure the immunity of the herd and prevent the spread of a disease that can have serious consequences for health”. The assessor is then the point on childhood vaccinations in the Umbria region: “For children born from 2012 to 2016, the vaccine coverage for Hexavalent chromium (polio, diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, hepatitis b, haemophilus), and Trivalent (measles, mumps, and rubella) are all above the safety threshold recommended by the world health Organization. Once again, our region is not among those with the widest coverage and among the few in Italy that exceeds the threshold of 95 percent for the measles”. “In particular, "" explains Barberini – December 31, 2018, for those born in 2012, the coverage for the Trivalent was 96,7%, and for the Chromium to a 97.1%. For cohort 2013, in the first case, with 95.5 % and in the second 96%. For children born in 2014, the Trivalent to 96.4% and the Chromium to 96.8%. For the 2015 coverage to 96.4% in the first case, and to 97.3% in the second. For those born in the year 2016, the figure is in constant evolution, since the process of vaccination started in 2018 is continuing in these weeks: as at 31 December for the Chromium cover was 95,6%, while for the Trivalent to 94,6%, but we believe that we have reached and exceeded 95% in these days”. “These figures – said the commissioner – demonstrate that the extension of compulsory vaccination and awareness-raising activities promoted have worked. The good results achieved are the fruit of a joint work, which has seen the Region, Usl, operators of the centres vaccination and pediatricians united in the dissemination of the culture of vaccines.

During the mazelenepidemie of 2013/2014 was 17% in patients older than 14 years of age.

The research was carried out under the ongevaccineerde reformation of the young, with the young people, who, during the epidemic of the 2013/2014 measles vaccine had been given, were compared with those already in the childhood measles, mumps, had been. It turned out that the young people who, during their childhood, and not in the Biblebelt lived in, and not to a protestant school, had been more likely to pass it on to later age of measles to get it. The same was true for young people, which in 1999/2000 was still too young to go to school and have no older brothers and sisters had as well. Young people who are members of the Reformed Communities, Restored Reformed Church, Christian Reformed Churches, and the PC had a better chance on late in the measles than in young people up to the Age of the Dutch Reformed Churches and the Reformed Churches in the Netherlands. This is according to Ruijs, because of the illness itself, in that the churches are not as easy to spread as the coverage rate gradually increases. ""For young families in these churches are more open to allow their children to be vaccinated against it. However, many of these parents are often not vaccinated, and are sometimes not protected against measles. We can also see that the small children who are not yet enrolled in school, have the disease are missed because they do not have direct contact with the mazelenpatiënten. They can become sick if they are at an older age, the next epidemic, or will come into contact with the measles virus.” Severe Measles is often more severe as patients grow older, which leads to a higher risk of complications and hospital admissions.

"49010","The introduction of vaccination has reduced the morbidity, and in some cases completely eliminate many previously fatal diseases. Thanks to vaccinations observed only a single disease (measles, tuberculosis, polio or błonicę. In countries where vaccinations are not mandatory, infectious diseases and their complications contribute to the deaths of many thousands of people. How vaccines work? A vaccine is a drug which purpose is stimulation of their inherent immunity and the so-called immunological memory in response to certain pathogens, the body becomes resistant przeciwzakaźną. Formed, thus, sustainability is the result of natural immune mechanisms. Obtaining acquired as a result of vaccination immunity is definitely safer than resistance as a result of natural development. Vaccination allows for controlled contact with a weakened or killed drobnoustrojem instead of evil. Modern vaccines contain whole, weakened pathogens and their purified fragments, or only those components of microbes that are responsible for creating immunity and substances (so-called adjuvants) which are tasked with managing processes, complexes following administration of the vaccine. More information about vaccination and preventive vaccination, protective you will find on the website www.hellozdrowie.pl. The types of vaccines that Reduce the risk of disease classical vaccines can contain live, weakened microbes (measles, mumps, rubella, varicella) dead microbes (whooping cough) antitoxin, i.e. toxins, devoid of sensitivity (tetanus, diphtheria). The vaccine can also be divided into monowalentne (single bed), i.e. only protect from the same disease, and poliwalentne (linked), thanks to which during one lowering at the same time we acquired resistance in several infectious diseases. Why should you vaccinate? In Poland the vaccinations included in the vaccination calendar are mandatory and get individuals to 19. year of life and individuals are particularly vulnerable to contact the disease (for example, working in healthcare). Thanks to vaccinations is based individual resistance of each person, as well as resistance populacyjna (group). The consequence of such actions is the reduction in the incidence or elimination of infectious diseases in the area. A high degree of implantation of a society, also reduces the risk of infectious diseases persons with temporary or permanent contraindications to vaccination. This is especially important for infants, babies, pregnant women, persons who have undergone organ transplants, and congenital and acquired disorders of immunity. The decision to vaccinate each time is given by the doctor to exclude possible contraindications to vaccination. It should be noted that there is no perfect tool in the fight against infectious diseases, but emphasizes all the time that vaccines have fewer side effects than drugs that serve in combating diseases. It is also important the economic aspect – vaccination are much smaller than the possible treatment of patients. An example of the positive impact of vaccination on the health of the population, is wind present, which the world Health Organization (who) was recognized eradykowaną, i.e. fully wytępiona in the world.",1,"poland"

Measles, which was considered a disease of a temporary nature, in the 70-ies of XX century, rose to the rank of major diseases of adolescence. This is propaganda, this is all if we talk about the main virus have occurred since, when a Federal Court (for the court's decision in Federal court, BGH), that is, the Supreme authority of the judicial system of criminal and civil law in the Federal Republic of Germany, decided that it is not proven the existence of the measles virus. It all began in 2011., when the virologist Dr. Stefan Lanka has offered a reward of 100,000 euros for the demonstration of proof of the existence of the virus causing the measles. The call took doctor of medicine David Bardens, who presented six publications, allegedly proving the discovery of this virus, and demanded that S. Lanka paying the promised amount. When he refused, the case in 2013. were focused on a path trial in a civil lawsuit. Hearings on the public meeting held three times in 2014, 2015 and 2016. before the German courts. As a forensic expert, he was called microbiologist, Professor Andreas Podbielski. In the first instance won the case, by D. Bardensa. Dr. S. Lanka did not agree with the verdict and filed an appeal to the court in Stuttgart, which won. Interestingly, the court rejected the claim of D. Bardensa, as he did not publish the existence of the measles virus, given the researcher the parameters. Instead, he presented six different papers, none of which, in the opinion of the expert, Professor A. Podbielskiego not carried out independently by the criteria of existence of this virus, but only assumptions. Ultimately, the Federal Court in Karlsruhe rejected the claim and imposed D. Bardensa court costs and damages. It appears, therefore, that millions of children worldwide are vaccinated against the disease but rather the symptoms of the disease, the causes of which were not is still not scientifically determined, for D. Bardens was represented in court by the most accurate until now, all work associated with the alleged discovery of this virus.

Within 72 hours, sown all persons who had business with him, and they were many, because the boy went to the Russian kindergarten. The case had, however, international coverage. – One of the children in contact with the sick boy went with his parents in Tenerife, says DGP Tomasz Augustyniak, Director of Voivodship Sanitary and Epidemiological Station in Gdansk. Jaroslav Pinkas, chief sanitary inspector, ensures that, because of the international alert system, the Polish side immediately told the Spanish authorities that their site could appear dangerous, infectious disease. In addition, the staff of the station had to inform about the situation of the passengers who is a child with a suspected disease, and to instruct them that in case of occurrence of these symptoms should immediately consult a doctor. This is one more such story this year. In the summer, as described by the DGP, a few workers from the Ukraine returned to the Polish of the visitors in the village with symptoms of measles. For several tens of hours needed to take steps to limit possible spread of the disease on a large scale. In Ostróda and around vaccination has undergone nearly 900 people, of which almost 700 on a single food processing company, which discovered the case of illness. Study of genotypes of measles virus identified in Poland, show that in most cases they are the same as in Ukraine. As the learned DGP, in connection with the concern, which is warning the epidemic in our Eastern neighbors, and the next cases stwierdzonymi in Poland, our authorities are actively cooperating with the Ukrainian. In mid-October, a meeting took place, in particular, representatives of sanitary and epidemiological service and the Ministry of Health with their counterparts. When discussing the scientific cooperation on the study of infectious diseases was also discussed on what actions are taken by Ukrainians to prevent a measles outbreak. As we are assured by our experts, in Ukraine there are problems with accurate monitoring of vaccination, and cases. This year alone measles has ill 33 Ukrainians, 14 died. The percentage of unvaccinated there is the highest in Europe. Not without significance is the fact that in Ukraine there are very strong movements antyszczepionkowe. Provincial sanitary authorities took preventive measures. Was prepared leaflets about how to protect themselves from tuberculosis and the Oder. They were printed, in particular in Russian and Ukrainian languages and distributed in different health institutions. – In the preparation of the manual in those languages relatively large number of infectious diseases, as well as reprinting the above materials – says Tomasz Augustyniak. Explains Jan Bondar, press Secretary of the Chief Sanitary Inspection, such action is not necessary at the top of the guidelines. Station, provincial know better the situation in the region, so they can themselves make the decision about the introduction of solutions to prevent the epidemic. Station station are also vaccinated, and BFL is paying for them, even if the patient does not have health insurance. As explained by the Director of Pomeranian sanitary-epidemiological stations, in case of such persons, compulsory vaccination is financed from the state budget from the part managed by the Minister of health. Exactly how many people outside of the Polish uses of such powers, it is not known because there is no obligation of delivery of the report in respect of citizenship. – However, because of the situation epidemiologiczną in Ukraine, as well as information obtained outside of compulsory demands from subjects of medical know that vaccination these people happen. Show also numerous questions about the opportunity to be vaccinated citizens of Ukraine, as well as issues concerning the region, recommended vaccinations in Poland, which in large quantities are received in the bodies of State Sanitary Inspection in Pomeranian Voivodeship, explains Augustyniak. From the data of Institute of Hygiene, it follows that this year (till October 15) fell ill with measles in Poland 128 people. Last year there were 58. – If earlier the disease was noted among foreigners, but in recent years, we note more and more measles cases among Polish citizens. Especially among young children who are particularly at risk of this disease. First of all we are talking about children under 12. month of life, who have not received vaccine because they are too small. Sick, but also adults. We had a case of the mother and child, diagnosed with measles – says prof. dr hab. Anton Litwińska, head of Department of Virology National Institute of Public Health – PZH. As he explains, every year the frequent failure of vaccination resulting from the downward movement antyszczepionkowych, the number of people affected is increasing. This year there are already more than 30 thousand. – If in previous years wyszczepialność measles reached 98%. so this year, according to our estimates, will decrease below 95%. It will be below the threshold of sustainability populacyjnej, – says the Professor. PhD. Anton Litwińska. Especially at risk are people born between 1975 and 1990, vaccinated with one dose of measles vaccine. They have the risk of disease higher than those vaccinated with two doses. Also people born in 50 years. 60., which have not yet been vaccinated due to the lack of vaccinations at that time. Could buy immunity there is only one way – chorując. – The question is how many of these people became ill in the light of measles. In such cases, the memory is saved after some time disappears. This means that if the disease occurred at a young age, then in old age, the virus can attack again, says Paul Grzesiowski, an expert in vaccination from the Center for Preventive Medicine and Rehabilitation. He adds that among persons exposed to measles also chorujący cancer. According to experts, in total we can talk about the good. 5,5–6 million Poles.

The reason for the meeting is celebrated again at 11. European Week of Immunization on site during the period 24-30 April. Dr. Grzesiowski Paul, Secretary of the Paediatric Group of Experts on Immunization at Ministry of Health highlighted the advantages of individual and social, which gives the state a program of compulsory vaccinations. He reminded that immunizations protect individuals and prevent the social consequences of infectious disease: lives, high cost of treatment, costs will be for your relationship on the economic front. They also help to combat infectious diseases on a global scale - this is a multi-year programme of national policy in the field of health care and the obligations arising from EU membership or global programmes who (world Health Organization). During the seminar the data from 2017 to illustrate the threats posed by communicable diseases. It follows that among the infectious diseases, most causes of deaths tuberculosis (1.5 million deaths per year), HIV/AIDS (1.2 million), hepatitis C (500 thousand), malaria (428 thousand), curse (142 thousand) and measles (115 thousand). In the case of measles in 2017 fixed (by 2016) significant increase in the number of diseases that, as pointed out by Dr. Grzesiowski associated with vaccine refusal. For example, in France the incidence was 520 in Germany – 927 in Ukraine – 4767, Italy 5006, and Romania – to 5562. Measles, HIV/AIDS, HEPATITIS A and B, tuberculosis (including lekooporna), diphtheria, whooping cough and polio belong to the dominant in Europe, the problems of epidemic, said at the conference. Among the threats associated with infectious diseases, the participants of the meeting discussed also the failure of the immunization programme in Ukraine, which poses a serious threat of epidemic. There is a new epidemic of HEPATITIS A, said Dr. Grzesiowski. In niedawana in Poland development of the disease was recurrent, in 2015, there were 49 cases and in 2016 – 33. However, starting in 2017, when it was discovered about 3070 cases of this disease, there has been an epidemic increase in the incidence. Only in the first quarter of 2018 has been recorded for 600. As noted by Dr. Grzesiowski, due to the influx of migrants from Ukraine. – What you need to take action the vaccination, he stressed. Experts also drew attention to the fact that also longer the life, the greater the risk of infections. After 60. years, the incidence of many diseases, levels with values for children up to 2 years. Moreover, often guzzle from older children. This applies, for example, pneumococci, meningokoków, rotawirusów and flu viruses. Meanwhile, vaccination of children and protect adults. Moving the issue of vaccination of the elderly, Professor Andrew Radzikowski from the Warsaw Medical University as the most important named influenza vaccination and secondarily against pneumococcal infection. Pneumococcal pneumonia is a common cause for the death of the elderly, as with cancers, and heart disease, and other pathologies. The workshop participants drew attention to the fact that in Poland, arrives to the persons evading compulsory vaccinations: in 2017, there were already 30 thousand. – If their number will continue to grow at a pace in a few years, the percentage of vaccinated children drops below 80-90%. that means the emergence of the threat of epidemics leveling mortar said Dr. Grzesiowski. The doctors are trying to counteract the resistance of patients to vaccination. – Explain to patients that every true medical effect, whether the input medication or treatment, and vaccinations may be connected with side effects added Professor Radzikowski. – I always warn about possible side effects such as fever, pain in the hand or poor health. Most often, they do not appear, and parents buy for me confidence. Dr. Grzesiowski drew attention to the fact that the necessary legislative changes in the sphere of financing of the program of immunization administering vaccines wysokoskojarzonych (one shot instead of several), the use of vaccines against pneumococcal infection and meningokokom among individuals from risk groups, vaccination of the entire population versus children's smallpox vaccination of certain groups against HPV, widespread vaccination against rotavirus and vaccines against rubella compensation unvaccinated young men. Requirements in these matters, the specialists in the field of public health report in 2015. Grzesiowski also recalled that was introduced in Poland already widespread vaccination against pneumococcal infection in children under 2. year of life vaccination of adolescents against pertussis is a live vaccine against polio had been replaced by vaccine inaktywowaną. An example of the effectiveness of the vaccine may be in Kielce, where thanks to the continuous 4 year period of vaccination halved the incidence of pneumonia and meningitis. Still optional, however, the vaccine meningokokom. The resulting infection meningitis rare, but in 10-20 percent of cases end in death. For 2020 it is planned the transfer of vaccination against HEPATITIS B with period noworodkowego for subsequent years, and BCG (against tuberculosis) – for 4-10 weeks of age. Introduced they need to be vaccine associated (5 or 6 in one) in scheme 2 1, as well as vaccines against rotavirus, varicella and meningokokom to widespread vaccination, - the expert reminded.",1,"poland"

"8591","Peter Gajdziński HEAVENLY ALMOND reforms taking place in Poland, but from 2015 something with the atmosphere of the March ’68. It is not only the conflict with the Jews – yet softer than it was just before półwieczem – but, above all, contempt for the elites and political opponents, attempts to exclude from the national community, the social stigma attached. In zmitologizowanej memory, and perception of society the story is a myth, rarely, maybe even never, the facts – March 1968-is, first of all, setting Mickiewiczowskich Grandparents to the famous question of a Russian officer: do Not be surprised that curse us, / Because it's where the age / from Moscow to Poland send / Same scum steak and a storm of applause at the National Theatre audience. It's also more than three years a Letter to the party of Charles Modzelewskiego and Jacek Kuron, finally, student revolt of the strike, the occupation, Irena Lasota read the resolution in the court of the University of Warsaw and wjeżdżającymi the territory of the College buses as well-dressed men equipped with long guards. March is also the birth of the anti-Communist opposition, which later wypączkowały Defense Committee Workers, open Relationship, Professional, and, finally, Solidarity. But in 1968 it was something much more important and worse. Checkout is odżydzanie March 1968-is, above all, the explosion of Polish nationalism and anti-Semitism. Today we lie, but the truth is cruel and terrible: it was not only ""gentlemen"" at the heights of power. The March, thus commenced, but in 1968 most of the Poles supported the direction represented by Ilya Moczara. Masówki, i.e. large demonstrations at enterprises, organized by the Communist authorities throughout the country were, of course, mandatory, but a lot of people participated in them with enthusiasm, and even more disgust. Much less were those who opposed the ""validation"" of the heads – so it was then called – only because of its origin. Journals political Ilya F. Rakowski, in 1968, the editor of the weekly ""Politika"" and a candidate member of the PZPR, give dozens of examples of ""gnojenia"" people just because they had Jewish origins. Even less were people who during antysyjonistycznej campaign that is deceptive, determined – came to the defense of the Jews. Blackest period in the history Peerelu. This statement may cause the objection, because before he was a ""Stalinist period"" with thousands of prisoners was not quite favorable ""people power"", with hundreds of death sentences executed in the Polish patriotach. I, however, insisted that the Stalinist period (this definition is, however, quite accurate because, as a rule, includes 1949-1956 years, ignoring even more bloody period 1944-1948), the separation was clear that the Poles and ""red invaders"". After the war hekatombie the Poles, of course, dramatically wanted a normal life, but in support of the Communists was not enough. In 1968, much has changed. Share ""odżydzania country"", inspired by the Minister of the interior, General mieczysław Moczara, during the war, Communist activist, Soviet agent and the commander of the troops of the people's Army first lublinie, and then in the vicinity of Kielce, was supported by many Poles. The Communists detonują bomb of nationalism Supported Moczara also the so-called ""Patriotic environment"", is still standing in total opposition against the Communist government. Including many former soldiers of the home Army, which was caught on nacjonalistyczną the rhetoric of ""partisans"". When Machar exercising the functions of Chairman of the powerful Union of Fighters for Freedom and Democracy, began to give in nacjonalistyczną pipe, into oblivion left and its acolytes old crime. Including the adoption in 1939, in cooperation with Soviet intelligence (Macar graduated from a special course GRU in Smolensk), szefowanie is not characterized by gentleness Wojewódzkiemu Public Security Department in a Boat or execution during the Stalinist Vice-member of the Central Committee of the PZPR and Governor of Olsztyn. Suddenly all these seemingly unforgivable sins were Moczarowi forgotten. Each ruling Poland Vladislav Gomułki and a member of the Central Committee of the Polish United workers ' party was called the patriot. Real. Meant gestures to former military personnel of London underground. In the second half of the sixties the Communist government began inviting former soldiers of the AK to participate in zbowidowskich meetings, and even in some public festivities. Almost every one of these people went through prisons and effect in the UB. Now, it is proposed (on the rights of the poor relatives) for corporations the winners, we all carry traces chłost and kopniaków that she closed our legend – he wrote bitterly in 1969, Jan Jozef Sepanski, himself a former soldier of the home Army. In June 1968, the Council delegation PL-I laid flowers on the grave of the first Delegate of the Government of Professor Ian Piekałkiewicza. Today the weight of this gesture is easy to appreciate. Then there was a large proportion. The Communists, as someone ułaskawią, it's always posthumously. What a benefactor, – said with a taunt in their Journals, a Catholic writer and member of ""the Sign"" Stefan Kisielewski. But the fact that Kisiela was just a cynical game, for many environments Patriotic was a breakthrough. Many of the former soldiers of the home Army was by these gestures were deceived, not realizing that moczarowcy is, in essence, the return of the faction line stalinowców, old, so-called natolińczyków. Cheers to our Moczarstwo Poles like gestures. Exhausted characters are always having resentment, love gestures like no other. And gesture were many. It is, after all, in this period, on the pages two times a week ""law and Life"" for the first time there was a mention of the Soviet attack on Poland on 17 September 1939. This ""guerrillas"" talked about the need for democratization of political life and wypominali many politicians and members of the scientific elite of their active participation in stalinizacji Polish. ""Let's drink to our Moczarstwo"" – zaordynował in 1968, during one of zbowidowskich libations Jan Ptasiński, Ambassador of Poland in Moscow, and former employee of the Ministry of Public Security and Deputy Chief Commandant of Police Civil. A clever pun, but not only a pun, because ""movie"" is actually created in the camp of government power. During the IV Congress of the Polish United workers ' party in 1964 Moczara skreśliło as a candidate member of the Central Committee a total of 21 people. More deleted even Mykola Shaforostov, and conflicting with Moczarem since the war Leon Kasman, editor of ""Tribune of the People"", was recorded at his own expense until 542 deletions. But in support of the head of the faction ""guerrilla"" more valid far beyond the Communist party. Part of this support, Mocar he owed to his colleagues and war"", coupled with the activities of his."" Even General Gregory Korczyńskiemu, wiceministrowi national defence, which is ""earned"" by the defeat of the Jewish population in Ludmiłówce. At the turn of 1942 and 1943 in the village located in the district kraśnickim units of the Communist guerrilla zamordowały about one hundred refugees from different ghettos, and even some partisans Guard Ludovit Jewish origin. The list of such crimes committed by units of the Guard Ludovit much longer.

The Timis county is the first in the country, and if you ever hear of cases of measles in the Caraş and Arad, we will have the whole country at one place. The causes which have led to this situation are numerous, but I ended up in this situation, and I don't think we can pretend that doesn't exist.

The biggest problems are in urban areas, this rate of vaccination is much lower than that in the rural areas. In this context, it is also preparing a draft law according to which the vaccination should be made compulsory. Sorin Grindeanu is, however, well aware of the fact that, prior to force anyone to be vaccinated, the state has to provide the necessary doses of the vaccine. ”I understand that, at this point in time is not the problem with the shortage of the vaccine. The food has nothing to do with the other things about which you are talking, it is about the health of each and everyone of us. It has been a good discussion, there's been a conclusion, and I hope to have the results, it is clear that, from this point of view, I'll give you a few things that you keep to the legislation. Wait for it to come out in the public debate on the law of the vaccination, there are things that are important, but they will have to put the system to the specific coordinates that would make him ... predictable.

I didn't have the vaccination, but I think we have done very, very well. The freedom mine is full, as long as you don't touch your freedom. If we translate that into what we've discussed so far, the freedom to not vaccinate your child should be without prejudice to the freedom of my own, as long as it leads to an outbreak of plague.

Before universal vaccination, it was a disease that was primarily in children, although it can also occur in adults who have not passed or were not vaccinated in their childhood. The mass vaccination, on the other hand, has brought another factor of protection against this disease, which is the immunity is collective, given that a person has not been vaccinated, by being surrounded by immunized people has very little chance of suffering the disease.

According to María José Cigueruello, member of the Advisory Committee of Vaccines of the Spanish Paediatrics Association (AEP), ""from last year is still having cases of measles in some european countries and even deaths. Has not been reached to control the outbreak"". For this reason, and given that the first dose of the vaccine is administered at age 12 months (included in mmr), experts recommend that small children, who are going to travel before this age to countries such as France or Italy to come to his pediatrician to get immunized and protect yourself. It should be stressed that measles is a virus, highly contagious, and if the younger children are not vaccinated, the disease can be complicated especially affecting the respiratory system with laryngitis, bronchitis, bronchopneumonia and even pneumonia (in 6 % of cases), which is the complication associated with increased mortality. In the words of the secretary of the Advisory Committee of Vaccines of the AEP, Francisco José Alvarez, ""Now in Europe we have a epidemión of measles terrible"", which affects countries that tend to be holiday destination chosen by many Spanish families so that, ""if it is strictly necessary to travel to those places"" with children under 1 year of age and older 6 months-before you can not administer the vaccine- ""it is recommended to advance the triple viral"". More forward, make it clear to the experts, it will provide a dose of protection and, regardless of this, the year will be vaccinated with the mmr, as set out in the vaccination calendar. Luckily, he argues Cigueruello, ""in Spain, the coverage rate for measles is 97%-98%. However, in other european countries would be around 80%"". In the case of this virus, adds the specialist, ""when the coverage is less than 92%, there is a risk of outbreaks of this type"". The main reason for these low coverages, relates Cigueruello, ""are the false myths regarding side effects of vaccines and, however, it has been shown that not only are safe but also prevent diseases. What is inconceivable is that in the TWENTY-first century die people for a disease like measles, which is preventable with a safe vaccine"". Other vaccines before traveling The measles is not the only vaccine that must take into account the parents who want to travel abroad with their children under the age of three years. In the case of visiting countries outside of Europe or the US, Álvarez, recommended to visit between one and two months before the trip to the pediatrician and a Center of International Vaccination, where parents can receive information about the vaccines that should be administered to minors. Thus, the hepatitis A vaccine -that is not included in the vaccination calendar in Spanish - is required for travel to all countries that are not in the Western Europe, the area of Japan and Korea, Australia and the USA, and you can put it after a year. The risk of acquiring hepatitis A is ""very high"" in certain areas if you consume contaminated food or water, he warned.

In the case of Asia, especially Japan and southeast asia, there is a disease called japanese encephalitis, which has also with vaccine.

MADRID, 8 (EUROPA PRESS) One of the ""biggest problems"" is that the measles vaccine is not administered to children under a year and the only way to protect these children is that 95 percent of the population around you has been vaccinated with the two doses. ""To be surrounded of people vaccinated break the chain of transmission of the virus and is a way of protecting the weakest people that can't vaccinated, such as infants, the sick and the elderly, is what is called the effect of 'flock' or immunity of group"" - has underlined the doctor. In Spain, where the autonomous community with the most diagnosed cases is Andalusia, this vaccine (voluntary) is usually administered to children along with rubella and mumps (mmr vaccine), through the different health services with a previous application for parents to your doctor or pediatrician. In this sense, the doctor Morcillo has been noted that this is used for more than half a century, is ""very effective, safe and cheap"" as to immunize a child against measles costs less than a euro, ""that is one of the best investments in public health, also taking into account that, prior to 1980, when he began to generalize the use of the vaccine, measles caused two and a half million deaths per year."" In addition, the majority of children do not present any side effect, although the that occur are ""generally very mild"", some as fever or rash, and the most serious are ""rare"", such as a high fever that causes seizures, something that happens to one in every three thousand cases. VERY CONTAGIOUS DISEASE measles is a disease ""very contagious"", caused by a virus that infects the respiratory tract and spreads to the rest of the body, and that is usually spread through direct contact and air, taking into account that there is no antiviral treatment specific against the virus once contracted the infection, according to the specialist. The first symptom of measles is high fever and the rash, starting ten to twelve days after exposure to the virus and lasts between four and seven days. In the initial phase, the patient may also present with cough, watery discharge and red eyes and small white spots on the inner face of the cheeks. After about fourteen days it appears a rash or eruption on the skin, usually on the face and upper neck, which extends for approximately three days, eventually affecting the hands and feet. After five or six days, the rash disappears. Next to this, you can also cause severe diarrhea, ear infections, severe respiratory infections such as pneumonia, blindness, encephalitis and even death, if the disease is complicated, so much so that it is one of the leading causes of death among young children, especially those under five years of age, although it can also occur in adults over the age of twenty years.",1,"spain"

Since then, confirmed 4 deaths, 3 infants under one year of age (too young to be immunized), and an adult immunocompromised (with contraindication to the vaccine). “This is the reason why we have to be vaccinated all that we can vaccinate ourselves, to interrupt the circulation of the virus and thus protect, in an indirect way, to those who can't do it, who are precisely those who are most at risk of complications and dying from the measles virus,” says the Argentine Society of Vacunología and Epidemiology, a position paper that raises “concern” by the outbreaks of measles, given that they consider that “the epidemiological situation is serious and high risk to the health of the population, especially the most vulnerable groups”.

"69413","During the last year have died and 35 people in Europe for measles, especially in countries like Italy, Romania, Germany and Portugal, despite the fact that there is a vaccine against the disease. ""We are very concerned because, although we have a vaccine which is safe, effective, and affordable, measles remains a leading cause of death among children around the world and, unfortunately, Europe has not been saved"", commented the regional director of the World Health Organization (WHO) for Europe, Zsuzsanna Jakab. Accordingly, the agency has conveyed its commitment to work closely with the health authorities of countries affected by measles to control the outbreak and ensure a high vaccination coverage among all sectors of society. And is that the continue to exist regions where vaccination coverage is low, the virus is spreading rapidly among the population that decides not to be vaccinated, those who do not have access to immunization and, among those who cannot be treated due to conditions of underlying health, despite the fact that 37 countries of Europe have cut off the transmission of the disease. For this reason, the WHO insists on the importance of the children were administered two doses of vaccine, and adults who are not completely immunized or who are not sure you are pregnant, get vaccinated also.",1,"spain"
"69812","The European Centre for disease Prevention and Control (ECDC, for its acronym in English) has warned that the gaps in measles immunization coverage have led to resurgence of outbreaks of this disease in Europe in the last year, which have affected mostly children and young people. During the first two months of 2017 have been detected more than 1,500 cases of measles in 14 countries, caused by an ""accumulation of unvaccinated individuals,"" according to warns this european body. In addition, in 10 countries, including Spain, the number of cases identified in this period doubled those recorded in the same period of 2016. This has been the case in Austria, Belgium, Croatia, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Romania and Sweden. ""It is unacceptable to hear that there are children and adults who are dying of a disease for which there are vaccines safe and cost-effective,"" says the commissioner of health of the European Union, Vytenis Andriukaitis. Between 1 march 2016 and 28 February 2017 was known in Europe of a total of euro € 5,881 cases of measles, 46% of them in Romania, the most affected country after Italy (24%) and Uk (9%). The report of the ECDC says that one of the most worrying aspects of the recent outbreaks in Europe have been detected in the older age groups and in children. In 2015 and 2016, around a third of all cases of measles in Europe affected adults older than 20 years. ""The gaps in the vaccination of adolescents and adults who have not received vaccination in the past, as well as the strengthening of vaccination programs will be key to preventing future outbreaks,"" said Andriukaitis. The confidence of the population in the vaccination is a major global health problem, as it leads some people to reject vaccines that could save lives. Experts believe that these reservations are nourished by the existing controversy about the potential side effects of these drugs and the doubts that generate in some doctors. In addition, many adults are not aware that their susceptibility to diseases preventable by vaccines such as measles, believing erroneously that only affect infants and school-age children. To break the chain of infection requires a vaccination coverage of at least 95%, says the ECDC. The most recent data for 2015 show that the vaccination coverage with the second dose of measles was below 95% in 15 of the 23 countries of the European Union that published their data. The cover of the first was less than 95% in 12 of these 27 countries that made public your information.",1,"spain"
"71212","Despite the fact that in recent years cases of measles have multiplied, only 85 percent of children receive a dose of the vaccine before they are two years old and ""just"" 61 percent of the two recommended doses, according to the head of Service of Internal Medicine of the Hospital Sanitas CIMA, César Morcillo Serra. One of the ""biggest problems"" is that the measles vaccine is not administered to children under a year and the only way to protect these children is that 95 percent of the population around you has been vaccinated with the two doses. ""To be surrounded of people vaccinated break the chain of transmission of the virus and is a way of protecting the weakest people that can't vaccinated, such as infants, the sick and the elderly, is what is called the effect of 'flock' or immunity of group"" - has underlined the doctor. In Spain, where the autonomous community with the most diagnosed cases is Andalusia, this vaccine (voluntary) is usually administered to children along with rubella and mumps (mmr vaccine), through the different health services with a previous application for parents to your doctor or pediatrician. In this sense, the doctor Morcillo has been noted that this is used for more than half a century, is ""very effective, safe and cheap"" as to immunize a child against measles costs less than a euro, ""that is one of the best investments in public health, also taking into account that, prior to 1980, when he began to generalize the use of the vaccine, measles caused two and a half million deaths per year."" In addition, the majority of children do not present any side effect, although the that occur are ""generally very mild"", some as fever or rash, and the most serious are ""rare"", such as a high fever that causes seizures, something that happens to one in every three thousand cases. Very contagious disease measles is a disease ""very contagious"", caused by a virus that infects the respiratory tract and spreads to the rest of the body, and that is usually spread through direct contact and air, taking into account that there is no antiviral treatment specific against the virus once contracted the infection, according to the specialist. The first symptom of measles is high fever and the rash, starting ten to twelve days after exposure to the virus and lasts between four and seven days. In the initial phase, the patient may also present with cough, watery discharge and red eyes and small white spots on the inner face of the cheeks. After about fourteen days it appears a rash or eruption on the skin, usually on the face and upper neck, which extends for approximately three days, eventually affecting the hands and feet. After five or six days, the rash disappears. Next to this, you can also cause severe diarrhea, ear infections, severe respiratory infections such as pneumonia, blindness, encephalitis and even death, if the disease is complicated, so much so that it is one of the leading causes of death among young children, especially those under five years of age, although it can also occur in adults over the age of twenty years. - Go to the health supplement",1,"spain"

United kingdom, Greece, Czech Republic and Albania lost the category of countries free of measles. Spain has not reached the rebound. The WHO, the health agency of the United Nations, ensures that the number of cases of measles from January to June of this year is double that of the same period of 2018. Measles is one of the infectious diseases in the world and is transmitted mainly by coughing, sneezing and close personal contact. Although many european countries have introduced vaccination policies stricter, there continues to be strong movement of rejection of the vaccines that have fueled epidemics across the continent. This movement is not so strong in Spain where there has been noticed a resurgence of the disease. In some developed countries, the rates of vaccination against measles fell sharply after the publication of a study mistaken in the late 1990's that linked the combined vaccine against measles, mumps and rubella with autism.

According to data provided by UNICEF,”In 2016, around a quarter of the deaths of children around the world were pneumonia, diarrhea and measles that could have been prevented with vaccines,” According to the Pan american Health Organization (PAHO), in 2016, Mexico registered a total of 4.004 cases of Measles in comparison with the 316 of Argentina or the 0 of Uruguay, as stated in the report, Controversies in vaccination: an eternal debate global prepared by the International University of Valencia (VIU). In this report, prepared by Dr. Pérez Bermejo, professor of Master's programme in Social Communication of the Scientific Research of the International University of Valencia, exposed the need for vaccines in the society and qualify them as “one of the strategies most beneficial in public health”. Understand the concept of vaccines as “biological products that contain one or several antigens that are administered with the aim of producing in the organism a stimulus immune-specific, strengthening the immune system and preventing serious diseases, and potentially deadly,” as indicated by the expert from the International University of Valencia. In this sense, and taking into account the need of the vaccines, the author stresses that “vaccines have saved countless lives, have reduced the global incidence of polio by 99 percent and reduced illness, disability and death from diseases such as diphtheria, tetanus, measles and whooping cough, among others.” In addition, notes that the annual number of deaths of children under five years of age has decreased despite the increase in the birth rate. Even so, despite the need and importance of vaccines, there is controversy about vaccination. There are multiple people or organizations that propose and disseminate the harmful effect of vaccines and the supposed advantages of not vaccinating, with explanations by religious, ideological, conspiratorial, etc., the result of the accessibility to information in a medium uncontrolled as the Internet. In addition, the author stresses that “the so-called movements anti-vaccination, receive the support of many influential personalities who are dedicated to questioning the vaccines and even they qualify to autism as an epidemic that is obtained from the vaccines, what has been demonstrated is false.” It is for this reason that Dr. Perez exposes some arguments in favor of immunization: saving lives, is the second therapeutic method that more lives saved, after the milestone of safe drinking water. In addition, they are very safe and work to prevent, fight, eliminate and eradicate disease, preventing also the cancer in the future. It is also an act of solidarity, because it protects the person as an individual, but also to the environment. On the other hand, the author stresses that “not all children have to reach the possibility to be vaccinated with more than 19 million children around the world who do not receive routine vaccinations”. Finally, it is worth to highlight an alarming fact that provides The Fund United Nations Children's fund (UNICEF). “In 2016, around a quarter of deaths of children under five years of age worldwide were pneumonia, diarrhea and measles that could have been prevented with vaccinations.” Master's degree in social communication of the scientific research Currently there is a growing demand for specialized training within the field of communication.

So far this year, Argentina has already has reported 61 confirmed cases of measles, 54 correspond to the outbreak started in September. In a year, there were more cases than the 44 imported registered in almost two decades (since the elimination of the disease, in 2000, until 2018). Burgos linked the increase registered this year with the international context. “The world has measles.

Consulted by this newspaper, the infectóloga pediatric Silvia Gonzalez Ayala, secretary of the Commission for the Certification of the elimination of the circulation of endemic Measles and Rubella agreed that there were shortages of the vaccine that protects against measles, but he insisted the criticism he has been making about the handling of the situation from the health authorities. “The mmr vaccine (measles, rubella, mumps) are not missed and the last year was developed in October and November, the campaign for children 13 months to 5 years. The hedges have been coming down for various reasons but mainly for lack of leadership, work in territory and schedules more extensive vaccination,” he analyzed. Through a communiqué, the ministry of Health argued that “acquired an additional quantity of vaccine double and triple viral, and the necessary inputs for the application, in function of the evolution of the outbreak” and insisted that “in recent years, there was no shortage of triple viral”. Other complaints by missing The management of the former Health secretary Adolfo Rubinstein -who resigned the Friday after the Executive branch to repeal your resolution with the updating protocol for legal abortion - he faced on several occasions, complaints of stock-outs of vaccines. The milestone in this regard with the brand the postponement, since August of 2018, the booster dose of the vaccine against meningitis at age 11, that was still not restored. Throughout the year, health authorities, provincial medical societies (SADI, SAVE, SAP, Fundación huesped) and to the office of the Ombudsman of the Nation have expressed public concern over difficulties with the stock of vaccines against chicken pox, rotavirus, and triple bacterial acellular (dtap, which protects against diphtheria, tetanus and whooping cough), not the mmr vaccine, which protects against measles, rubella and mumps. ""The management of Rubinstein was very poor. Suspended essential programs, cut budgets, are left to the provinces and ended with the catastrophe of missing vaccines.

It was a case of hemorrhagic Smallpox, a type of Smallpox Greater than it turned out to be next to the smallpox lisa fatal in most cases. In the set of cases of smallpox mortality was around 30%. The photo is viralizó in 2018, and now seems to be going to share. Vaccination yes, but it is not generating false news reports that in addition to serving the anti-vaccines to strengthen your belief that others are wrong (although in this occasion I have my doubts of who will be generated by this hoax). On the phenomenon of the antivacunas we will have a more detailed article, but it is linked a little with the phenomenon of pro-mms arrives to perform two separate articles. It's worthwhile to say that today let us contrast the information that is provided in any case. ON THE SMALLPOX. A BIT OF HISTORY, The Smallpox had with us, perhaps more than 10,000 years, from our origins as a civilization and even characters The pharaoh Ramses V (1149-1145A.C) already suffered. A disease which was very dangerous and deadly with deaths of the most horrible and frightening. It generated a shock of multi-organ failure and/or bleeding from nose, mouth and eyes. Since the EIGHTEENTH century, deaths from smallpox had declined particularly because of even element, the appearance of a vaccine for Smallpox, but it was still a disease very deadly and therefore dangerous. In 1958, Thanks to vaccinations and the initiative is sometimes forgotten Viktor Zhdánov (photo), deputy minister of Health of the Soviet Union, kicked off in the World Health Assembly (WHO), a global initiative to eradicate Smallpox under the name WHA11.54. Smallpox affected in that time to around 2 million people each year. Under different initiatives, campaigns strong vaccination starting from the age of 50, the disease is achievement control to eradicate it. In 1977 the last case of Smallpox by contagion common it would be in Somalia and in 1978, the last death due to the deadly Virus. Janet Parker (a photo-counter), would take place in a laboratory of Great Britain by a contagion fortuitous because of a bad manipulation. Today the smallpox fortunately is considered to be eradicated (since 1980 actually), although due to the non-vaccination in the event of a possible outbreak of smallpox (something unlikely but possible due to the few samples of this virus that remain frozen in some laboratories) we would all be helpless, and another vaccination campaign would be necessary.

MEASLES CAN BE STOPPED, The measles virus is exceptionally contagious and is easily spread among susceptible individuals. To prevent outbreaks, according to details the WHO, you need at least 95 per cent coverage of immunization with 2 doses of measles-containing vaccine in each country and each year, as well as efforts to reach children, adolescents, and adults who missed routine vaccination in the past. While the coverage of immunization with 2 doses of vaccine increased from 88 percent of the eligible children in the Region in 2016 to 90 percent in 2017, there remain ""large disparities"" at the local level: some countries report over 95 percent of coverage and other below 70 per cent.

"8172","In the wake of a resurgence of measles in several european countries, the Ministry of Health has warned that it is necessary to be vaccinated against this disease, both for not getting it as to not infect others. In 2018, there were, according to the WHO, 82.596 cases in Europe, many in countries where it was eradicated, as are Germany, the United Kingdom or the Czech Republic. In Spain, where also was eradicated the disease, there have been 233 cases between the beginning of the year and the 21st of July, all of them imported or secondary to these. Who has that shot? Children The vaccine is part of the one known as ‘mmr’, which acts against measles, rubella and mumps (MMR). In the calendar of vaccinations current, indicates that it must be administered to children in two doses at 12 months of age and at three years of age. Children age 12 months and older who do not have it, should get vaccinated. Born after 1970 who are unvaccinated or who have not had the virus, according to the Ministry of Health, they have to get vaccinated, those persons born after 1970 who have not been vaccinated or who have not suffered the disease. It is important to remember that it is necessary to have received the two doses, it's not worth with a. Be a part of this group, the person will need to receive two doses with an interval of four weeks between them. Those who have not received the vaccine but have suffered measles vaccinations are not required, because the organism itself produces antibodies of defense to suffer. How is the vaccine? – Where is it supplied: pediatrician or family doctor, pharmacies – Cost: free of charge by the Social Security The vaccine is received in the form of a puncture in two doses. According to the calendar of vaccinations, the children receive at 12 months (first dose) and three years (second dose). In the case of adults, should spend only four weeks between the doses. The mmr is funded by Social Security, so that carries no cost to the person. The vaccine is delivered in health centres, on the part of pediatricians and family physicians. However, it can also be obtained in a pharmacy and go to a private centre where it can be put in by a professional. Why get vaccinated? Unnecessary suffering The main reason why there is the vaccine is to avoid getting the disease. The measles virus is initially present in the form of high fever up to 40 degrees, which lasts up to a week, congestion, cough, and watery eyes and red. After, it can be seen in the form of a rash, a skin rash, or a rash. Can have complications more serious complications are found, according to the WHO, blindness, encephalitis (an infection accompanied by brain swelling), severe diarrhea (can cause dehydration), ear infections and severe respiratory infections, as is the case of pneumonia. Among the at-risk populations include children and pregnant women not vaccinated, as well as people with an immune system weakened by diseases such as HIV/AIDS and / or malnutrition. It is estimated that one out of every 1,000 adults may suffer from some type of neurological complication. It is a very contagious disease measles is very contagious, so the vaccine is recommended, also, to prevent it from spreading. The contagion occurs through the air, through sneezing, or coughing. Also by personal contact intimate or direct contact with nasal secretions or throat infected. The virus remains active and contagious for up to two hours from that spread in the air, and it can be transmitted by infected person from four days before until four days after appearance of the rash. Therefore, it is easy to have a large spread among non-vaccinated children in places like schools and among adults in closed environments. Is there any risk to get vaccinated? No, the vaccine is safe. The only risk is not to get the vaccine, because the person may be infected. It can be thought that, by introducing the virus in the body, this can bring some kind of problem to the individual. This idea is false, since the ‘arguments’ antivacunas who defend that are toxic, produce allergies or cause autism are fallacies without any scientific basis. In fact, the WHO has denied on multiple occasions, this kind of statements, and has ensured that vaccines pose no risk. In this line, has dismantled the myth that the measles vaccine causes subacute sclerosing panencephalitis (PES).",1,"spain"
"8242","The parents come in worried about the children's hospital No7 of Kiev to get their children vaccinated for the outbreak's deadly measles that has hit Ukraine as a result of the rate of vaccination is very poor. In a single day, this public hospital to the centre of the Ukrainian capital were vaccinated 150 children. “It is three or four times more than usual,” says its director, Oksana Gutova. The huge influx has led to the establishment to open on the weekends. “In two days, we have exhausted our reserve of vaccines for measles, mumps, and rubella planned for three months,” recognizes a pediatrician in a private centre in Kiev. This interest is sudden due to an outbreak of measles that killed three ukrainians in January, forcing some schools to extend the school holidays to avoid contamination. As a result of years of distrust of vaccines and the difficulties to import, Ukraine is among the countries of Europe most affected by this disease, along with Romania, Italy, France, Germany and Greece. Last year, there were 4.782 measles cases (five fatal) in this exrepública soviet. And since January, nearly 2,100 ukrainians have been infected, of whom three died, among them two children. Fake certificates authorities and the international organizations they attribute this to years of vaccination insufficient (in 2016 was 42% for the first dose, the third lowest in the world in 2016, according to Unicef). Last year the figure rose to 93% for the first dose and 91% for the second, according to Kiev. But the years of delay are still spending bill. “We make progress but still we have not solved everything,” he said to AFP the Unicef representative in Ukraine Giovanna Barberis, who claims that the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends a rate of 98% for preventing hospitalization, massive and fatal cases. The figures of the Ukrainian authorities are vague in the sense that, as the vaccination is compulsory, many parents leery prefer to pay bribes to the doctors to get fake certificates. The impact this has on the statistics. According to a study by 2016, 52% of health professionals had received demands for fake certificates, says Barberis. What about diphtheria? The country already suffered other outbreaks of measles, the most serious in 2006, with over 40,000 people infected with hiv. The authorities launched a vaccination campaign, but the 2008 death of a teenager immunized with a vaccine manufacturing india uncertified reinforced the distrust. The research concluded that the death was not due to the vaccine, but this did not convince the public opinion. Now, the authorities of Odessa (with the largest number of cases), extended school holidays and the city of Kyiv banned the access to schools to children unvaccinated. This led many parents to vaccinate their children. Oleksandra Filatova came to the hospital with two daughters of five and ten years who were never vaccinated. “I heard all kinds of terrible stories about children being paralyzed or who stopped to talk,” he says. Now it seems to have changed his mind: “you Will receive all the necessary immunizations.

"8343","Measles is a virus that is very transmissible, it does not have specific treatment and may cause serious complications: 1 out of every 10 infected develop deaf, 1 out of every 20 pneumonia, 1 out of every 1,000 meningoencephalitis and between 1 and 2 out of every 1,000 die. But in addition to the risk that assumes in itself, it also has the ""power"" to cause amnesia to the body's immune system that, upon infection, ""forgets"" the immunity which he had developed against other viruses and bacteria, and leaves the person unprotected in front of them, according to two studies published simultaneously, the authors emphasize the importance of vaccination, in the midst of the alarming increase of cases of measles in the world. Argentina is living the worst outbreak since the circulation of endemic virus, almost 20 years ago. Earlier studies had already associated measles with a higher morbidity and mortality years after the disappearance of visible symptoms (fever and rash), but the reasons this occurs is not very well known. The two papers that are published in the November issue of the journal Science Inmunology -which carries the theme to the lid with a child being vaccinated in 1962 - contribute new evidence about how the measles clears the memory of the immune system causing ""amnesia immune"". Both works were developed from blood samples taken at 77 unvaccinated children before and two months after the measles infection during an outbreak registered in the Netherlands in 2013. Look also To identify and quantify the long-term effects of measles on the immune system, one of the computers used a technology called VirScan, which allowed you to track the antibodies against thousands of pathogens in the blood. They found that the measles caused the elimination of the 11 to 73% of the repertoire of antibodies, which are proteins produced by the immune system when it detects harmful substances. The ""reset"" of the system leaves people at risk of infection by strains of virus and bacteria that had already been generated immunological memory (such as mumps, chicken-pox, for example) These adverse effects on the immune system were not observed in vaccinated children, need to work. ""Many people who have never seen measles, they think that only causes a rash and fever, but is decimating large fractions of memory protective immune crucial, putting children at risk of all the other infectious diseases,"" says Michael Mina, a professor of epidemiology at the School of Public Health, Harvard University, author of the work. According to the researcher, this is ""the best evidence"" until the time of the existence of the amnesia immune and its long-term impact. See also ""The threat posed by measles to the people is much greater than we ever imagined previously. Now we understand that it is a danger prolonged due to the elimination of the memory-immune, which demonstrates that the measles vaccine is even more beneficial than we knew,"" notes for its part the lead researcher Stephen Elledge, professor of Genetics and Medicine at the Institute Blavatnik School of Harvard Medical school and the Hospital Brigham and Women s. The cover of this month's Science Inmunology presents an archive photo of a child vaccinated against measles in 1962. Other work, meanwhile, found that measles infection causes changes in lymphocytes memory B -those who ""remember"" past infections and prevent recurrences-, but also in the nonspecific, acting fighting infections unknown. This amnesia immunological ""contributes to compromising immunity to infections, or previous vaccinations,"" the work provides a molecular explanation for the amnesia immunological durable observed after measles infection in non-vaccinated populations. ""If we allow that to happen, outbreaks of measles, we are also creating pockets of people susceptible to other diseases,"" says in an article published in Science the author Velislava Petrova, a researcher at the Wellcome Sanger Institute, in Hinxton, Uk. Researchers say that physicians may consider to strengthen the immunity of the children who had measles with booster doses of all the vaccines above, such as those that protect against hepatitis and polio. ""The re-vaccination after measles may help to alleviate the long term suffering that could result from the amnesia immune and increased susceptibility to other infections"", suggest. Stand out, in addition, that the samples were obtained from previously healthy children and warn that the consequences can be even more serious in those who are immunosuppressed or malnourished. The mmr vaccine protects against measles, rubella and mumps. In Argentina, 44 cases in 2019, Millions of people around the world are at risk of contracting measles. After decades of decline in the number of cases in recent years, there has been a resurgence as a result of the fall in vaccination rates. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), the reported cases tripled in the first seven months of 2019 in respect of the same period of 2018. In Argentina, in 2019 were 44, according to the latest Newsletter integrated surveillance. In only a year since they produced almost the same amount of cases that had been registered up until last year since 2000, when it eliminated the circulation of endemic disease. Of the 42 cases detected in Argentina -the other two were in Spain, 7 are cases imported or linked to importation, and 35 do not have a history of travel or link up the time with imported cases (14 of the City of Buenos Aires and 21 of the Province). Of these 35, 25 are grouped together in three chains of transmission. Look also The highest number of confirmed cases corresponds to less than a year. That's why, in the wake of the outbreak started in September, the ministry of Health set out to vaccinate with a “dosage zero” (which does not count as the first calendar that is given at one year of life), all infants of 6 to 11 months who live in the City of Buenos Aires, and the health regions V, VI, VII, and XII of the Province of Buenos Aires, which include Bell, Escobar, Exaltación de la Cruz, General San Martín, José C.

"8402","Scientists have discovered that the measles virus erases part of the memory of the immune system, which leaves humans vulnerable to other infections, according to a study published on Thursday in the journal ‘Science Immunology’. ""This study is a direct demonstration of the 'amnesia immune' in the human, by which the system forgets how to respond to infections that have already dealt with it,"" says the lead author of the study, Velislava Petrova, the Institute's 'Wellcome trust Sanger' and the University of Cambridge. The measles virus causes coughing, skin rashes and fever, and may cause fatal complications, including pneumonia and encephalitis, i.e. inflammation of the brain. While measles deaths worldwide decreased by 84% between 2000 and 2017, the disease remains common in many developing countries, particularly in parts of Asia and Africa, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Although it was known that measles weakens the immune system, even after you overcome the initial infection, the scientists did not know how this process occurs. The researchers made the gene sequence of the antibody of 26 children, before as well as about 40-50 days after contracting the infection, and they discovered that certain immune cells that had accumulated against other diseases, and which were present prior to the infection with measles, had disappeared from the blood of children. The scientists then observed this ""amnesia immune"" in ferrets and found that a virus similar to measles reduced the level of antibodies to influenza in animals that had been vaccinated against this disease. The experiments showed that the measles virus reprograms the immune system to an immature state that can only produce a limited menu of antibodies. This means that the measles hinders the response of the immune system for any other infection, which increases the risk of secondary diseases. ""Our study has enormous implications for vaccination and public health, as we demonstrate that the measles vaccine not only protects people from measles, but also protects against other infectious diseases,"" said another of the study's authors, Colin Russell, of the University of Amsterdam.",1,"spain"

At the global level, immunization coverage with three doses of vaccine against diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (DTP3), and one dose of measles vaccine, has been stalled since 2010, around 86%, Although this figure is high, it is not enough. You need 95% coverage to a global scale –covering the countries and communities - to ensure protection against the outbreaks of diseases that can be prevented with vaccines. “Vaccines are one of our most important tools to prevent outbreaks and keep the world safe,” said Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, director general of the World Health Organization. “Although today the majority of the children are being vaccinated, the number of those who are left behind is excessive. And what is unacceptable is that often those who do not receive the vaccine are precisely those most at risk: the poorest, the most marginalized people, those affected by the conflict or the people who are forced to leave their homes”, he added Adhanom. The majority of unvaccinated children live in the poorest countries, and a disproportionate number are located in fragile states or conflict-affected. Nearly half live in only 16 countries: Afghanistan, Chad, Ethiopia, Haiti, Iraq, Mali, Niger, Pakistan, central African Republic, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Syria, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan and Yemen. If these kids get sick they run the risk of serious health consequences, and are those who are least likely to have access to treatments and care that can save lives. Work to be done on The disparities in access to the vaccine remains considerable between the countries and within each one of them, regardless of their level of income, This has resulted in devastating outbreaks of measles in many parts of the world, including countries that have high rates of general vaccination. In 2018, there were almost 350,000 cases of measles around the world. More than double in 2017. “Measles is a real-time indicator of the places where we have more work to do to combat vaccine-preventable diseases,” said Henrietta Fore, executive director of UNICEF. “Because measles is so contagious, an outbreak indicates that the communities are ceasing to receive the vaccines due to access, costs or, in some places, the complacency. We must exhaust all efforts to immunize every child,” added the director of UNICEF. The scope of the measles Ukraine leads a diverse list of countries with the incidence rate of measles highest recorded in 2018. Although the country has managed to vaccinate over 90% of their babies, and coverage has been reduced for several years, which has left a large number of older children and adults at risk. In other countries with high incidence and high coverage there are meaningful groups of people that have not received the measles vaccine in the past.

The agency said actual numbers may be far greater, since only one in 10 cases globally are reported.  Measles is a highly infectious viral illness that can sometimes lead to serious health complications, including infections of the lungs and brain.

A spike in case numbers was, in addition, reported for countries including the US and Thailand with high levels of vaccination coverage.  The UN says the disease is “entirely preventable” with the right vaccines, but global coverage of the first immunisation stage has “stalled” at 85%, “still short of the 95% needed to prevent outbreaks”.

Please try again later. Submitting...  What are measles?  Measles are a highly infectious viral illness that can lead to complications but in the UK, it was thought to be uncommon due to the effectiveness of vaccinations used.  Most common in young children, anyone who has not been vaccinated or new to the illness can develop it, according to the NHS. While unpleasant, it usually the infection clears in over a week (seven to ten days).  When an infected person coughs or sneezes, the measles virus is contained in the millions of tiny droplets that come out of their nose and mouth. As a result, simply by breathing in these droplets, touching a surface they have settled on and ingesting them, anyone can catch it.  The NHS adds, ""people with measles are infectious from when the symptoms develop until about four days after the rash first appears"".  What are the symptoms of measles?  The symptoms of measles develop around ten days after initially infected. They often mimic cold-like symptoms such a cough, runny nose or sneezing. In addition, eyes can become sensitive to light and body temperatures can rise to around 40c.  A few days later, a red-brown blotchy rash will appear which usually starts on the head or upper neck, before spreading outwards to the rest of the body.  It is important to contact a GP as soon as possible as arrangements might need to be made to reduce the threat of spreading it.  Is it serious?  Once a person has had measles, their body essentially becomes immune to the virus however this isn't the case for everyone. For some, measles can lead to serious and potentially life-threatening complications in some people such as pneumonia (lung infection) and encephalitis (brain).  To prevent catching the illness, the NHS recommends the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine which is given to children but can also be requested from GPs for adults.  How to treat it?",1,"uk"
"57013","Joe Accurso, a 47-year-old chiropractor, refused to vaccinate his daughter against polio, measles or whooping cough because he believes that getting sick wouldn’t be dangerous and might even be good for her.  “I am actually disappointed that she doesn’t have the opportunity to get the chicken pox, to get diseases that make her body stronger in the future. That is our big reason,” he told AFP.  Don’t call them “anti-vaxxers.” Joe and his wife Cathy, a physical therapist, see themselves as part of a vocal minority that believes in “vaccine choice.”  These parents — many of whom are white, educated and upper middle class — choose not to immunize their children against diseases which collectively used to kill millions children per year around the world.  They say these illnesses aren’t so bad, compared to vaccines, the risks of which they believe are being withheld from the public in the name of pharmaceutical profits — a belief now shared by millions of people across the developed world, from the United States to Europe and Australia.  They are also swayed by purported medical whistleblowers who claim that vaccine effectiveness data has been skewed, that vaccine injuries are on the rise, and that dubious ingredients have been concealed.  Fueled by distrust of the medical establishment, more than seven million people follow various US-based Facebook pages that question vaccines, wrote Richard Stein, a New York University cardiologist, last month in the journal Germs.  “Conspiracy theories on social media are alive and thriving, rejoicing their golden age,” Stein said.  Resurgence of measles  Endemic measles was eradicated from the United States in 2000, and nationwide only about two percent of kindergarteners have gone unvaccinated in recent years, according to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).  But the danger comes when large pockets of people do not vaccinate and an area loses “herd immunity.”  In Minnesota, for example, child vaccination rates for measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) in the Somali-American community plummeted to 42 percent in 2014, down from 92 percent in 2004.  The result: 65 cases of measles in 2017, most of them unvaccinated Somali children — the largest single outbreak in a year that saw 120 cases nationwide, the CDC said.  Fears about autism spread after British anti-vaccine activist Andrew Wakefield — whose 1998 research alleging that vaccines trigger autism was found to be fraudulent — spoke to local Somali community groups in 2010 and 2011.  “One of the pseudoscience phony central tenets of the anti-vax movement is to claim that measles is a benign illness or even good for you,” Peter Hotez, director of the Texas Children’s Hospital Center for Vaccine Development, told AFP.  Such ideas are “deliberately misleading and false,” and have real-world consequences, he added.  Measles can cause hearing loss, blindness, brain swelling and pneumonia. The CDC says that for every 1,000 children infected, one or two will die.  In the United States, recent measles outbreaks include one in Ohio’s Amish community in 2014 (383 cases), and a nationwide 2015 outbreak that infected 188 and is believed to have started with a visitor to California’s Disneyland amusement park.  A vaccinated elderly woman was the sole measles fatality that year.  Influence of social media  Social media may be perpetuating the anti-vaccine movement, said Naomi Smith, an Australian researcher.  Smith just completed a three-year study on how Facebook appears to have created a “filter bubble” around the fraught issue — so vaccine skeptics see their ideas reinforced on pages they follow.  When it comes to convincing hesitant parents to vaccinate their kids, Smith said both sides are at “a total impasse.”  People who hold strong anti-vaccination beliefs tend to believe personal testimonies, and “use a different standard of evidence than what the medical community uses,” she told AFP.  To bridge the divide, some doctors, like Arizona pediatrician Tim Jacks, occasionally share their own personal stories with vaccine-hesitant parents.  In 2015, Jacks’ daughter Maggie was battling leukemia, had recently finished a round of chemotherapy, and was exposed to measles while getting blood drawn at a Phoenix clinic.  Also exposed was his younger son, Eli, just 10 months old then and too young for the MMR shot.  The experience was scary, and required the family to spend two weeks in quarantine. Fortunately neither child fell ill, and Maggie, now six, is in remission from her cancer.  “We don’t live in bubbles. So even going to the store and getting groceries, going to church, going to the park, you are interacting with other people and you are potentially exposing other people,” Jacks said.  “Who is really at risk? It is the family that has a newborn that has no protection. It is the grandmas.”  For Hotez, solutions include more engagement from scientists and laws that eliminate the personal choice to vaccinate, as now exist in 18 states.  After the Disneyland outbreak, California changed its laws to allow only medical exemptions for children who attend school, and vaccinations climbed.  “It is no longer simply a small cult,” said Hotez.  “This is a well-organized movement that needs to be taken on directly.”",1,"uk"

The US Council of Foreign Relations has been collecting the data since 2008 and the visualisation allows curious users to scroll through a timeline to spot outbreaks of the disease around the world over recent years.  Advertisement  Primarily the data relates to measles, mumps, rubella, whooping cough and polio, although evidence of several other disease outbreaks are visible too.  Unsurprisingly, many outbreaks were concentrated in sub-Saharan Africa and other areas of the developing world, but you only have to look at the map to see that all regions, including Europe and North America have been blighted by preventable disease outbreaks in recent years.  Read next This map plugs a 500-million-year gap in the history of Earth This map plugs a 500-million-year gap in the history of Earth  In Africa, measles and polio were the most common preventable diseases, although there have been outbreaks of rarer diseases such as typhoid in Zambia and Zimbabwe, Ebola in Uganda and the 2012 cholera epidemic in Sierra Leone. Cases of rubella, on the other hand, occurred mostly in Japan and eastern Europe, whereas whooping cough has been most prevalent in the United States, Australia and New Zealand.  As the LA Times points out, the map does suggest that various anti-vaccine movements and scares may well have taken their toll in certain areas of the world, particularly in the UK, where there is an obvious concentration of measles outbreaks.  Council of Foreign Relations/Screenshots  Advertisement  It's not surprising to see an outbreak of measles in the developing world, where vaccines are scarce, but in the UK the MMR vaccine is offered to all children as part of their routine pre-school vaccination schedule. In 1998 a paper published by Andrew Wakefield linked the MMR vaccination to autism in children.  Subsequent studies and investigations resulted in the report being widely discredited, which led to several coauthors withdrawing their support and Wakefield being struck off as a doctor by the General Medical Council. Unfortunately, Wakefield's report did have an impact in the UK and caused many parents to distrust the MMR vaccine. Paranoia caused inoculation rates in the UK to fall from 92 percent before the publication of the report to 80 percent after its publication.  It's also important to remember, though, that the MMR vaccination was only introduced as standard in the UK in 1988, and even then some children who were vaccinated around this time only received one of the two necessary jabs that are required to ensure immunisation. It's unlikely, therefore, that the prevalence of measles in the UK is purely a result of Wakefield's false report, although it certainly may have contributed to it, and is something we are clearly still seeing the effect of today.",1,"uk"

Dr Roger Henderson looks at the symptoms, risk factors and treatment options for rubella:  What is rubella/German measles?  Rubella is an illness caused by the rubella virus. Epidemics tend to break out every three to four years, although the illness is less contagious than measles and chickenpox.  Rubella can affect anyone but most commonly occurs in young children and is usually a mild infection. However, if a pregnant woman develops rubella, this can cause serious damage to their unborn child, as it is a completely different condition to measles.  Very few children get rubella since most of them are vaccinated with the MMR vaccine.  While most children have measles in their early childhood, a lot do not get rubella until they are quite a bit older: 10 to 20 per cent of 20 to 25-year-olds have never had the disease. In fact, a lot of people have rubella in such a mild form that it's never diagnosed - this is referred to as a ‘subclinical’ infection.  Today, only very few children get rubella since most of them are vaccinated with the measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine, which protects against mumps, measles and rubella. It's very important to maintain a high level of vaccination in the population as a whole to ensure herd immunity.  How do you get rubella?  Rubella is caught by droplet spread, where microscopic drops from the breath of an infected person are carried through the air to a healthy person. The droplets carrying the virus reach the mouth, throat and nose, from where they spread to the rest of the body.  When should you visit the doctor for rubella?  If you suspect that you or your child has rubella, call your GP as soon as possible. It is best to phone initially rather than turning up at the surgery, so that arrangements for reducing the risk of infection to others can be made.  What are the signs of rubella?  Common rubella symptoms include the following:  <U+2714><U+FE0F> The patient develops a rash, typically starting around the ears, from where it spreads all over the body in tiny pink spots.  <U+2714><U+FE0F> The rash changes almost from hour to hour, and will disappear again after about two to five days, requiring no treatment.  <U+2714><U+FE0F> Up to one week before the rash appears, the patient can suffer a light cold, consisting of a cough and sore throat and/or swelling in the neck and base of the skull (due to the enlargement of the lymph nodes). There may also be a mildly raised temperature at this time too.  <U+2714><U+FE0F> Sore red eyes (conjunctivitis) can occur and last for several days.  <U+2714><U+FE0F> Joint pains can occur, primarily affecting adults, and last for around one week.  <U+2714><U+FE0F> The period between the time of infection and the actual outbreak of rubella (the incubation period) is usually quite long - between two and three weeks.  How is rubella treated?  German measles does not require any special treatment - except perhaps for a few days' rest in bed. But you'll have to consider the fact that the disease is infectious and can easily spread to other members of the household. Fever and muscular or joint pains can be symptomatically treated with paracetamol (eg Calpol) and ibuprofen (eg Nurofen for children).  The infection period usually lasts from a week before the rash starts to one week after it has disappeared, but is at its worst when the rash is at its peak. Because of the risks to pregnant women associated with the disease, it is an advantage for girls to acquire immunity before puberty.  Once you have had rubella, your body will have made antibodies to the condition that will provide immunity throughout your life. It is very rare to have more than one episode.  What risks are associated with rubella?  If a pregnant woman is infected with rubella there is a risk of damage to the unborn child. In some cases, this danger is so high that a termination of pregnancy is recommended but fortunately this is very rare today as most young women have been vaccinated against rubella with the MMR vaccine.  Brain inflammation (encephalitis) is a very rare complication, and bleeding disorders may very rarely occur as a result of this infection.  Who should be vaccinated against rubella?  The MMR vaccine is highly effective in preventing rubella. All girls should be vaccinated against rubella to prevent problems during any future pregnancy.  Today, all children are offered the MMR vaccine in two doses which protects them from rubella:  Initially between 12 and 15 months.  Again at the age of 3 years and 4 months prior to starting school.  Both doses are given at the same time as other vaccinations as part of the national immunisation programme.  It is impossible to know for sure if you have had rubella because many people do not even notice the disease. Girls who are vaccinated against rubella are advised not to start a pregnancy until three months after the vaccination.  If you are in any doubt as to whether or not you have had the illness, an examination of antibodies in the blood will provide the answer. If required, your doctor can give you a vaccination.  What's the difference between measles and German measles?  Measles and German measles (rubella) are completely different conditions, caused by different viruses although they do have similar features such as a rash, temperature and cold-like symptoms.  They are both protected against by the MMR vaccine and so remain uncommon although in recent years there has been a slight increase in the number of measles cases due to falling levels of MMR immunisation.  If caught in pregnancy, measles is more likely to cause a miscarriage or premature delivery whereas rubella is more likely to cause birth defects in the baby.",1,"uk"

Thosestudents and university staff members– numbering more than 200people– were bought to stay at home, prevent contact with others and alert public health authorities if they establish signs. “Both universities are helping with the execution of quarantine orders and identifying how finest to support trainees who should be quarantined and who reside on school,” the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health stated. How vaccines stop illness like measles  The declaration from health authorities in Los Angeles stated the procedures were carried out “to develop awareness amongst trainees, professors and personnel about the threats of measles after a possible direct exposure to measles.”  “Quarantine for measles can be as much as 21 days from the date of last direct exposure, at which time the exposed individual is no longer a threat for establishing the illness and spreading out measles to others,” the declaration stated.  Measles is an extremely infectious illness triggered by an infection that can spread out through the air when a contaminated individual coughs or sneezes or if somebody enters into direct contact or shares bacteria by touching the exact same items or surface areas. Signs might consist of fever, cough, runny nose, watery eyes and a rash of red areas.  Measles can remain in the air for approximately 2 hours after an ill individual coughs or sneezes and can remain on surface areas for numerous hours, making a college school specifically prone for the illness to spread out due to the high volume of individuals entering into and out of structures.  In a letter to trainees and professors, UCLA Chancellor Gene Block stated the university was informed on Monday that a trainee had actually contracted measles. The trainee participated in classes at Franz Hall and Boelter Hall on 3 days– April 2, 4 and 9– while infectious, Block stated.  “Upon knowing of this event, UCLA right away recognized and alerted more than 500 trainees, professors and personnel with whom the trainee might have entered contact or who might have otherwise been exposed,” Block stated. “They were likewise supplied with in-depth info about treatment and avoidance.”  Most individuals have actually been cleared, the chancellor stated. Since Friday, public health authorities stated, less than 50 trainees and professors stayed quarantined.Only one trainee stays quarantined on school.  “We anticipate that those informed will be quarantined for around 24 to 48 hours till their evidence of resistance is developed,” Block stated. “A couple of might require to stay in quarantine for as much as 7 days. We have actually scheduled those who reside on school to be taken care of at UCLA while they are quarantined.”  At Cal State LA, school authorities stated there might have been direct exposure to measles at Library North on April 11 in between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m.  The university stated 127 personnel workers and 71 trainee workers “have actually been sent out house under quarantine orders and informed to stay at home and prevent contact with others as much as possible.”  “The Department of Public Health has actually figured out that there is no recognized existing threat associated with measles at the library at this time,” the university stated.

These are presently provisionary figures for 2018 and the last figure is anticipated to be over 50 percent greater than in 2017.  Measle vaccinations led to an 80 percent drop in measles deaths in between 2000 and 2017 around the world. Much of this development is now slipping. Teacher Katherine O’ Brien, WHO ’ s Director of Immunization and Vaccines, informed press reporters on February 14 that the world is now “ backsliding ” in its efforts to stop the spread of measles.  “ Our information are revealing that there is a significant boost in measles cases, ” stated Professor O’ Brien. “ We ’ re seeing this in all areas, this is not a separated issue.

Measles is an extremely infectious, yet totally avoidable, viral illness that triggers fever, rashes, a cough, diarrhea, and a variety of other signs. In 2015, it was accountable for roughly 136,000 deaths worldwide.  .  The boosts are being sustained by break outs throughout every area of the world. Dr Katrina Kretsinger, head of WHO ’ s broadened immunization program, mentioned considerable break outs in Ukraine, Madagascar, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Chad, and Sierra Leone. There have actually likewise been noteworthy break outs in the United States and western Europe .  The prime reason for the boost is the “ f# SEEEE ailure to immunize. ” While there are lots of aspects behind this, it is kept in mind that there is a growing wonder about of vaccinations based upon pure false information, specifically in richer nations.  “ The level of false information — the world that we reside in now — is triggering hazards to that success in lots of parts of the world, ” included O ’ Brien. “ There has actually been a massive bout of false information that has actually triggered damage to the measles effort.”  .

"60313","Image caption Measles is particularly dangerous in young infants but anyone can get the disease at any time.  In the 1990s, experts thought they were close to eliminating measles for good.  But now the World Health Organization (WHO) has put back its target date for getting rid of the disease to 2015. But even that seems unlikely.  The reason? A measles outbreak which is spreading across Europe, affecting France, Belgium, Germany and Romania - and now the UK.  Other significant outbreaks are taking place in Serbia, Spain, Macedonia and Turkey, the WHO says.  Over the last few months, the Health Protection Agency has seen an increase in measles cases in children and young adults in England and Wales.  Their figures show that between January and April, 275 laboratory-confirmed cases of measles were reported, compared to 33 cases for the same period the previous year.  The HPA says these cases are, ""associated with either recent travel abroad or small clusters in mainly unvaccinated children and young adults between the ages of 10-24.""  Health protection units across England and Wales are warning parents to make sure their children have received two doses of the MMR vaccine before travelling to mainland Europe in the next few months.  They are particularly concerned that as families plan summer holidays on the continent, and schools organise trips and exchanges abroad, unvaccinated children and young adults will be at risk.  MEASLES FACTS It is a highly infectious viral illness  It causes a fever, coughing and distinctive red-brown spots on the skin  You catch measles by breathing in tiny droplets created when an infected person coughs or sneezes  Possible complications include pneumonia, ear and eye infections and croup  Serious complications include inflammation of the brain (encephalitis), which can be fatal  Measles in pregnancy can cause miscarriage, premature labour or a baby with low birth weight  The most effective way of preventing measles is the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine  There is no link between the MMR vaccine and autism  Dr Mary Ramsay, head of immunisation at the Health Protection Agency, said: ""Measles is a highly infectious and dangerous illness which spreads very easily particularly in schools and universities. It is crucial that children and young adults are fully immunised with two doses of MMR.""  Letters have been sent to some primary schools and further education colleges in London, where confirmed measles cases have reached 86 so far this year.  Dr David Elliman, consultant community paediatrician at Great Ormond Street Hospital in London, has noticed a rise in cases and says it is never too late to be vaccinated.  ""Anybody can get measles at any time, but it's particularly dangerous in very young children and young adults. Any opportunity people have to visit their GP and ask for the vaccine should be taken.""  In France... their perception of the measles risk changed."" Dr Rebecca Martin, WHO - Europe  He says one in 15 people have complications with measles and one in 1,000 will die of it, but that the two doses of MMR will protect people against the disease.  ""Figures show 84% of children had received their second dose of the MMR vaccine by the age of five but we need 95% uptake to stop it going around - and we are still not there,"" Dr Elliman says.  The situation in France, however, is considerably worse.  A measles epidemic has officially been declared there, with nearly 5,000 cases reported between January and March this year. The is almost equal to the total number of cases reported in France (5,090) during the whole of 2010.  The WHO says France is taking immediate steps to control the outbreaks by vaccinating infants at nine months of age and offering the vaccine to all unimmunised or under-immunised people over that age.  Image caption The MMR injection protects against measles.  Dr Rebecca Martin, the WHO's programme manage for vaccination and preventable diseases in Europe, believes the reason numbers of measles cases in France are so high is down to complacency.  ""In France they didn't see the disease any more so people thought there was no need to get their children immunised. Rather than put them through two injections and, possibly, a fever afterwards... Their perception of the risk changed.""  The organisation which oversees public health in France, Institut de Veille Sanitaire (INVS), is worried.  In a newspaper article, Françoise Weber, the director of INVS, estimated that the cases already confirmed by health professionals in France are only ""the tip of the iceberg"".  But measles can be eliminated in Europe, the WHO's Dr Martin says.  ""In the Americas, measles was eliminated in 2002. There are no indigenous cases there now because everyone has been immunised, so it can be done. But it's a slow process and we need to accelerate our efforts.""",1,"uk"

"61013","The newest headlines in your inbox  Measles could cause long-term harm to the immune system – resetting it to a baby-like state and leaving individuals weak to other infections, scientists have mentioned.  According to new analysis, the measles virus deletes a part of the immune system’s reminiscence, eradicating earlier immunity to other infections in each people and ferrets.  Scientists have dubbed the startling findings “immune amnesia.”  While the physique is able to rebuilding these defences, scientists say the method may take years.  With measles on the rise within the UK and in other international locations internationally, Dr Michael Mina of Harvard’s faculty of public well being mentioned “it should be a scary phenomenon”.  Research from the Wellcome Sanger Institute, University of Amsterdam and their collaborators confirmed that the illness resets the human immune system to an immature state with solely restricted capacity to reply to new infections.  Published within the journal Science Immunology, the examine explains why youngsters usually catch other infectious ailments after measles.  The Harvard crew analysed blood samples taken from 77 youngsters earlier than and after a measles outbreak in an unvaccinated group within the Netherlands.  They appeared for antibodies, which bear in mind viruses and micro organism they encounter to guard towards a repeat an infection.  After recovering from measles, the children had been left with loads of antibodies towards that virus – however ones they’d beforehand harboured towards other germs had plummeted.  In essentially the most extreme instances, youngsters had been left “as vulnerable as if they were infants” mentioned the examine’s senior creator Stephen Elledge, a Harvard geneticist.  A separate examine, revealed Thursday in Science Immunology, supported the findings.  Scientists mentioned the analysis has nice implications for public well being, as falling vaccination charges are leading to rising instances of measles.  They mentioned this in flip may trigger a rise in instances of other harmful infections similar to flu, diphtheria or tuberculosis, even in individuals who had been beforehand immune.  In the late 1960s a extremely efficient measles vaccine was launched within the UK, and in 2017 the illness had been fully eradicated from the nation.  However, measles is very contagious and instances are rising once more, with the UK’s vaccination uptake dropping under the required degree of 95% of the inhabitants.  This led to the UK shedding its World Health Organisation (WHO) measles elimination standing in August.  In a separate examine revealed within the Science journal, researchers used a instrument referred to as VirScan to analyse the responses of antibodies in 77 unvaccinated youngsters aged 4 to 17 earlier than and after measles an infection.  The expertise tracks antibodies to hundreds of viral and microbial antigens within the blood.  Led by investigators at Harvard Medical School, Brigham and Women’s Hospital and the Harvard TH Chan School of Public Health, scientists discovered the illness wiped out 11% to 73% of the antibody repertoire throughout people two months after measles an infection.  Professor Michael Mina mentioned: “Imagine that your immunity towards pathogens is like carrying round a e-book of pictures of criminals, and somebody punched a bunch of holes in it.  “It would then be a lot more durable to recognise that felony in case you noticed them, particularly if the holes are punched over necessary options for recognition, just like the eyes or mouth.”  Prof Mina and colleagues discovered those that survive measles step by step regain their earlier immunity to other viruses and micro organism as they get re-exposed to them.  However, as a result of this course of could take months to years, individuals stay weak within the meantime to severe problems of these infections.",1,"uk"

"61814","JERUSALEM– In the frightening measles break out that has actually struck New York, the very first kid identified was an unvaccinated ultra-Orthodox Jew who was contaminated while checking out Israel, where a break out of the extremely contagious infection has actually been ruining public health procedures.  With 214 verified cases, Rockland County, north of New York City, revealed an extreme procedure, disallowing all unvaccinated kids and teenagers from public locations, after emergency situation efforts– consisting of the administration of practically 17,000 measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccines in less than 6 months– stopped working to stop an expanding medical emergency situation.  “The variety of detected cases in Israel skyrocketed from about 30 in 2017-2018 to practically 4,000 in 2018-2019.”  Measles, brought on by an extremely infectious infection, is a leading reason for vaccine-preventable deaths on the planet. To keep it in check, as it has actually been for many years, more than 95 percent of any provided population should be inoculated. At that point there is what’s called “herd resistance,” the contemporary wonder wrought by mass immunizations.  Turning those numbers around, even a small percentage of unvaccinated individuals in an insular however not entirely separated neighborhood threatens the lives of society’s most susceptible individuals: the youngest, the earliest, or the immuno-compromised, such as cancer clients. And it ends up that ultra-orthodox Jews, who reside in insular neighborhoods however take a trip commonly, are susceptible to such an epidemic.  So far, 2 Israelis have actually passed away in a measles break out that has actually seen the variety of detected cases in the nation skyrocket from about 30 in the year 2017-2018 to nearly 4,000 in the year 2018-2019.  On Sunday, Ketty Dor, Kan News’ primary health reporter, laid out the 3,799 th case of measles recognized by Israel’s ministry of health, which is normal.  A lady in her thirties from the city of Tiberias, who delivered last weekend to her 10th kid, is being kept in seclusion with her newborn after observing the rash normal of measles quickly after returning house with the child, who was contaminated by his mother.  Officials from the Ministry of Health are attempting to track anybody who might have been exposed. That number consists of, in addition to the female’s 9 older kids, the 26 other babies in the nursery at the very same time, and their relations and moms who were at Tiberias’ Poriya Hospital.  For a minimum of a year now, Israeli health authorities have actually been playing a video game of immunological feline and mouse, seeing out cases in cities with big ultra-Orthodox neighborhoods. In Jerusalem alone there have actually been 2,138 identified cases, consisting of the 2 deaths. When an 18-month-old woman passed away on Nov. 1, 2018 it was the very first taped death from measles in Israel in 15 years.  In December, an 82-year-old female died from the once-outdated illness.  But in spite of the insular lives led by ultra-Orthodox Jewish neighborhoods, the primary factors behind widespread proliferation in Israel, according to Rotem Elizera, the health reporter for the everyday Yediot Ahronot who has actually led protection of the break out, are non-ideological.  “In Israel you have 2 kinds of anti-vaxxers,” he discussed in an interview with The Daily Beast.  “The loud however little crowd of well-read, flourishing individuals who question the whole medical facility and are doubtful of standard world views, and the bigger crowd that does not immunize its kids, who are mainly ultra-Orthodox. They merely have extremely low rates of compliance in basic.”  In the case of ultra-Orthodox neighborhoods, he states, “the majority of their factors are what you ‘d call useful: Let us state it is a household with 7 or 8 kids and a moms and dad requires to take a baby to the well-baby center. You need to wait a week for the consultation, discover child care for the other kids, you’re going to miss out on half a day of work, and it’s not like the kid needs intense look after a galloping fever or a hacking cough.

France and Romania, in addition to Italy, are amongst European nations with the greatest anti-vaccine belief , where around 20% of the population thinks vaccines are hazardous.  The notorious Wakefield research study pubished in 1998 specified that the MMR vaccine triggered autism in kids who got the vaccine. The outcomes of the research study ended up being incorrect and Andrew Wakefield, among the authors of the research study, had his medical license withdrawed.  Despite the medical scams , the misconception continues, and lots of vaccine doubters still think their kids will establish autism if they are vaccinated.  Going Forward  Despite the rise, the WHO stays enthusiastic about stopping the spread of measles, and has actually promised to work more carefully with European nations to take on the concern, appealing reaction steps such as boosted immunization and much better tracking.  A big part of any effort to disrupt measles’ spread in Europe must require comprehending why individuals decline to get immunized, stated Paterson.  “In 2016 the Vaccine Confidence Project discovered that the European area was the most hesitant worldwide on vaccine security,” stated Paterson.  “Vaccines work. If measles is to be gotten rid of, we should continue to even more our understanding of the underlying factors for non-vaccination and to resolve them with reliable, evidence-based interventions.”  Read more: https://www.cnn.com/2018/08/20/health/measles-europe-record-who-intl/index.html  Please follow and like us:  Like this: Like Loading...",1,"uk"
"66713","Please follow and like us:  A great deal of attention has actually been directed at the current measles break outs in North America and western Europe . A little away from the media spotlight, there’ s a lesser-known break out of the infection that ’ s taken the lives of at least 922 individuals because October 2018.  The World Health Organization (WHO) informed press reporters on February 14 there were over 66,000 reported measles cases and a minimum of 922 deaths in Madagascar in between October 2018 to February 12, 2019.  The frustrating bulk of these deaths and cases were kids, they included. It’ s likewise worth keeping in mind that less than 10 percent of real measles cases are reported worldwide, so the genuine figure is most likely to be much greater.  Dr Katrina Kretsinger, head of WHO’ s broadened immunization program, likewise mentioned considerable break outs of the illness in Ukraine, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Chad, and Sierra Leone.  The measles infection is extremely infectious and quickly spread out through sneezing and coughing. As soon as contaminated, individuals will experience a nasty fever, an unique rash, and a cough. It is likewise possibly lethal and can trigger problems such as loss of sight and brain swelling.  However, the illness is quickly avoidable through 2 dosages of a measles-containing vaccine.  –  All of this catastrophe in Madagascar is inseparable from the African island country’s reasonably low vaccination rate. In 2017, the approximated immunization rate was simply 58 percent. For viewpoint, the rate in the WHO European Region was 94 percent in 2008. Due to this break out, the nation is getting an emergency situation break out reaction that’ s currently immunized 2.2 countless the 26 million population up until now.  The existing scenario works as a clear presentation of how under-vaccination rates can impact a neighborhood . If a reasonably low portion of individuals in a population are immunized, this permits the illness to spread out considerably quicker and even more. The illness has a hard time to spread out and the links to susceptible individuals in the population are more most likely to be cut off if a break out strikes a population with prevalent vaccination. To motivate such a circumstance, the WHO suggests a minimum of 95 percent immunization protection with 2 dosages of measles-containing vaccine.  Vaccination rates have actually remained in stable decrease in Europe and parts of North America for a variety of years, specifically thanks to skepticism of the vaccine’s side-effects — issues which have actually been unconditionally disproven and turned down by every significant health company on the planet. As Madagascar programs, the threats of under-vaccination in a neighborhood are significant and extremely genuine.  “ Madagascar began with a couple of cases; now, we are nearly near 60,000 and the cases are still increasing, ” stated Richard Mihigo, planner for the World Health Organization’ s immunization and vaccine advancement program at its local workplace for Africa, according to The Washington Post . “ I believe societies like the United States and western Europe must sound the bell and hellip &see; this is something that might likewise occur to them.”  Read more: https://www.iflscience.com/health-and-medicine/the-lesserknown-measles-outbreak-thats-killed-nearly-1000-people-in-months/  Please follow and like us:  Like this: Like Loading...",1,"uk"

The government says 1,797 cases have been reported - 153 since Friday alone.  Samoa declared a state of emergency last week to combat the outbreak. All schools are closed, children under 17 are banned from public gatherings and vaccinations are now compulsory.  The United Nations Children's Fund (Unicef) estimates Samoa's vaccination rate is between 28-40%.  It has sent 110,500 vaccines to the country , and New Zealand has sent medicine, nurses and equipment - while battling an outbreak of the disease itself .  Sorry, this Twitter post is currently unavailable.  It usually takes between 10 days and two weeks for a vaccine to start working.  Some people are reportedly peddling false treatments. One businessman told Australian broadcaster ABC that his ""Kangen Water"" - in reality, tap water - could alleviate symptoms .  Samoa Attorney General Lemalu Hermann Retzlaff has warned people against discouraging vaccinations in any way.  ""Law enforcement is open to receiving notice, complaints, or evidence of any person or organisation, that is discouraging or going as far as preventing our community from vaccination,"" he told the Samoa Observer .  Tonga and Fiji have also declared states of emergency to tackle their measles outbreaks in the last month.  However, both countries have far higher vaccination rates - over 90% in both countries - and have so far not reported any deaths.  The Tonga women's rugby team were put in quarantine on Thursday after a measles outbreak.  Video caption One Filipino mother's worst fears were realised when her unvaccinated children caught measles  Measles is a highly infectious viral illness that can sometimes lead to serious health complications, including infections of the lungs and brain.  Infection rates are rising worldwide. The World Health Organization (WHO) announced in April that the number of cases reported globally quadrupled in the first three months of the year compared to the same period in 2018.  Nearly 5,000 people have died of measles in the Democratic Republic of Congo and close to a quarter of a million have been infected.  The WHO says the outbreak there is the world's largest and fastest-moving epidemic.  What is measles?  Measles is a virus that initially causes a runny nose, sneezing and fever.  A few days later it leads to a blotchy rash that starts off on the face and spreads across the body.  Most people will recover, but measles can cause life-long disability. It can be deadly, especially if it causes pneumonia in the lungs or encephalitis (swelling in the brain).  It is estimated that a global total of 110,000 people die from measles each year.",1,"uk"
"68414","Measles wipe immune system’s memory of other illnesses, studies find  Please follow and like us: (CNN) Measles can remove the body immune system’s memory, leaving us susceptible to illness we were formerly safeguarded versus, brand-new research study has actually discovered. Researchers from the Harvard Medical School, who led the Science research study, analyzed blood samples from kids prior to and after getting measles. They discovered that the infection erases 11% to 73% of clients’ protective antibodies, putting them at higher threat of bacterial and viral stress they were formerly unsusceptible to. This implies that measles can successfully reverse the defense offered by vaccines versus other infections like influenza or perhaps tuberculosis– and measles break outs can therefore trigger spikes in other diseases.  The infection can trigger fever, cough, watery eyes, and a rash of red areas. These results are more extreme in individuals that currently have more susceptible body immune systems, like malnourished kids or those with pre-existing immune shortages.  The research studies’ findings likewise stress the value of vaccines. Measles are quickly avoidable– one vaccination dosage is 93% reliable at avoiding the illness. 2 dosages, as suggested by the majority of health authorities’ standards, make the vaccine 97% efficient.  The measles vaccine secures the body immune system’s memory from being erased by the infection in the very first location– and if a client gets measles, they might wish to get booster shots for all their previous vaccines, like liver disease and polio, to alleviate the impacts of immune amnesia, stated the Harvard Medical School news release.  Researchers currently understood that measles impacts the body immune system, however these 2 research studies verify for the very first time the systems of immune amnesia.  This year has actually seen measles break outs all over the world, even in locations that had actually formerly gotten rid of the infection. Simply a couple of months earlier, the United States experienced its biggest break out because 2000 , which was so extreme professionals feared the nation would lose its measles removal status. In August, 4 European nations lost their measles-free status when the illness picked up after being eliminated years earlier.  These current break outs have actually been put down to the development of the anti-vaccination motion, which has actually spread out through social networks and prevents moms and dads from inoculating their kids versus measles and other illness.",1,"uk"
"68713","Measles outbreaks: The other congressional hearing you should follow today  Lawmakers talked about issues around the spread of clinically incorrect details online associating with the measles vaccine– and whether attending to that false information may be a method to stop break outs prior to they begin.  For circumstances, Facebook has actually revealed strategies “to minimize the circulation of health-related false information” on its social networks platform, an agent for the business stated this month.  Around the very same time measles cases have actually been increasing across the country, anti-vaccination groups have actually been singing on Facebook, publishing and sharing details versus the security of vaccines.  “I’m truly worried about the false information, however I likewise comprehend how complex it is for moms and dads,” Messonnier stated.  Even though there has actually been a little however gradually growing variety of young unvaccinated kids in the United States, CDC research study reveals that a lot of moms and dads continue to believe in the security and efficiency of the measles vaccine, Messonnier stated.  She included that moms and dads ought to talk with their kids’s pediatricians if they have any issues.  Messonnier likewise kept in mind that an absence of sufficient access to healthcare can be a barrier to getting vaccinations, as has actually been seen in some low-income and rural neighborhoods.  Anti-vaccination material frequently declares that vaccines are risky– such as that they can trigger autism– although research study has actually exposed such claims and the CDC indicate its vaccine security system to make sure that vaccines are as safe as possible.  The CDC site keeps in mind that typical adverse effects of the MMR vaccine consist of an aching arm from the shot, fever, moderate rash, and momentary discomfort and tightness in the joints. Major negative effects, consisting of febrile seizures and allergic responses, are uncommon.  Messonnier stated clients must speak to their physician about their or their kid’s individual danger for unusual negative effects.  At one point throughout the hearing, anti-vaccination activists in the audience might be heard challenging statements by Messonnier and Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the United States National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.  One lady in the audience raised an anti-vaccination book in the air. Another rubbed her fingers together, making the hand gesture for loan.  ‘The unfortunate thing is, this is an entirely understandable issue’  The CDC advises that kids get 2 dosages of MMR vaccine : the very first dosage at 12 through 15 months of age and the 2nd at 4 through 6 years of age.  “You have among the most infectious infections understood to man juxtaposed versus among the most efficient vaccines we have,” Fauci stated at the hearing.  He included that there are 2 reasons that following vaccine suggestions stay essential: “One, it is for the security of your own kid, and the other is an obligation for your own neighborhood. … We all have an obligation to be part of that umbrella of herd resistance.”  To attain this for measles, the population immune requirements to be 93% to 95% . “With measles, due to the fact that it is so infectious, you need to have a herd resistance higher than 90%,” stated Dr. Robert Murphy, teacher and director of the Center for Global Health at Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of Medicine , who was not associated with Wednesday’s hearing.  “That implies that just 7 out of 100 individuals actually would be at danger for getting measles. If someone had measles, the probability that they would encounter among those 7 is quite low,” he stated, including that in some neighborhoods dealing with measles break outs, herd resistance has actually dropped well listed below 93%.  “It’s remarkable that we in fact need to have congressional hearings with what’s going on today,” stated Murphy, who has actually dealt with kids and grownups with measles. “The unfortunate thing is, this is a totally understandable issue, since we have a really reliable and safe vaccine.”",1,"uk"

"68913","Please follow and like us:  It was October 31, a balmy day in Brooklyn, and Alexander Arroyo was walking around his neighborhood dressed as an octopus, pushing his 2-month-old daughter in a carriage, as his wife chased their toddler through the after-school Halloween trick-or-treat crowd. As the family filled their bags with candy, Arroyo’s phone rang and he stopped to answer it, trying to hear over the din of excited children. Arroyo is the director of the pediatric emergency department at one of the biggest hospitals in Brooklyn, Maimonides Medical Center, and two days earlier, a 15-month-old girl had come to the ER with a fever and a rash. He’d been waiting for a call to confirm the diagnosis, and this was it. The test had come back positive: The girl had measles. When the girl had arrived at the ER, she was put in a busy area, where children with earaches or broken arms typically sit. No one suspected measles, because, thanks to routine childhood vaccination, the disease was declared eliminated in the United States in 2000. Although there had been localized outbreaks since then—among the Amish in Ohio, visitors to Disneyland in California, and the Somali American community in Minnesota—neither Arroyo nor most of his staff had seen a case firsthand. Suspecting ­measles was like thinking “maybe that’s a unicorn,” Arroyo says. “It doesn’t really cross your mind, because measles shouldn’t exist anymore.” Still, several measles cases had been reported in a different part of Brooklyn. And after a few hours, Arroyo’s team began to worry that the child in their care might be another. They put a mask over her face and wheeled her into an isolation room, with two sets of doors and air circulating under negative pressure to prevent airborne particles from escaping. By then, however, “the bomb had gone off,” Arroyo says. Measles is considered one of the most contagious diseases in existence. If a person with measles walks through a room with a hundred people who are not immunized, up to 90 of them will get the disease. The virus is spread through coughs and sneezes and lingers in the air for up to two hours. Some 122,000 ­people come through the Maimonides emergency room every year. The hospital, located in Borough Park, serves one of the most diverse patient populations in the country, from ultra-Orthodox Jews to immigrants whose first language might be Mandarin, Russian, Hindi, Punjabi, Arabic, or Uzbek. Many are working-class cab drivers, manual laborers, and restaurant workers who bring their children to the ER at night, when their shifts are done. Dr. Alexander Arroyo in the waiting room of Maimonides Medical Center. Natalie Keyssar Standing in the street that Halloween, Arroyo thought about the dozens of patients who might have been exposed—in the waiting room, the hallway, the exam rooms—from the time the girl came into the hospital until she was placed in isolation. He looked down at his daughter in the carriage, dressed as a clown fish, and thought, “She’s not vaccinated.” She was still too young, as were other babies who might have been in the ER. He knew that his team would have to figure out right away who, exactly, had been breathing the same air as the infected girl. He waved down his wife, who had been making her way down the street with their toddler, and asked her to take the baby carriage. Then he headed home to make phone calls. “I saw my life falling into a pit of measles,” he says. Arroyo is an amateur kickboxer, lanky and athletic. He hurried down the street, talking by phone with the hospital’s infection-control nurse and mapping out a plan. At home he changed out of the octopus costume and logged on to the hospital’s electronic medical records to check what time, exactly, the girl with measles had entered the ER. He called the other doctors who had been on duty to see if they remembered any pregnant mothers or immunocompromised children who would have been especially at risk. He also called the hospital’s IT department to help backtrack through medical charts. His team generated names of 55 children who had potentially been exposed to the disease, then asked the New York City Department of Health to cross-reference it with vaccination records. For the MMR vaccine (against measles, mumps, and rubella) to be effective, the immune system has to be mature enough to produce antibodies to the virus. Young babies’ immune systems are not sufficiently developed, so children generally receive an MMR vaccine at 1 year old and another at age 4 or 5; those who had come through the hospital but had not completed both doses were considered at risk. On the Maimonides list were a 12-month-old, a 10-month-old, and three babies younger than 6 months, including one who was just 17 days old. All were vulnerable, and Arroyo realized he was already running out of time. To prevent infection, the children needed to receive MMR shots within 72 hours, and young babies would have to be given immunoglobulin, a form of temporary protection, within six days. The infection-control nurse began making calls to those babies’ parents. How Measles Hacks the Body—and Harms Its Victims for Years Measles Had Been Eliminated. Now It’s Nearly a Daily Threat California’s Vaccination Rate Slips as Medical Exemptions Rise When the combined MMR vaccine was first introduced, in 1971, it was regarded as a triumph of science and public health. In 1998, however, physician Andrew Wakefield published a now infamous paper in the medical journal The Lancet that purported to show a connection between MMR and symptoms of autism. Though the results were soundly refuted and the journal retracted the paper—and Wakefield lost his license to practice medicine—his claims burrowed deep among small clusters: celebrities and others who had children on the autism spectrum and those suspicious of traditional medicine and pharmaceutical companies. Some of those antivax activists went deep into conspiracy, saying that vaccines contained contaminants and that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention was engaged in a sinister cover-up. When tech platforms like Facebook and YouTube came along, they amplified the antivax message in all its forms. The notion that vaccines could be dangerous also jumped from these sources to ultra-Orthodox Jewish communities in Brooklyn, where the ideas spread mostly through the analog form of phone hotlines and pamphlets. By 2018, while the vast majority of parents in these communities still vaccinated their children, enough were scared off that the misinformation landed a blow—as New York City hospitals like Maimonides suddenly discovered. Arroyo’s team managed to reach and give preventive treatment to just about all the vulnerable children exposed to measles that late October day. But he’d barely caught his breath when, in mid-November, another infant with fever and a rash arrived by ambulance at Maimonides. Another child with a case of suspected measles—this one a toddler—arrived moments later through a different entrance. By that time, the infant had been sequestered in the lone negative-pressure room. The infant later tested negative for measles, while the toddler tested positive. It was unfortunate timing, and scores of patients were exposed to infected air. The hospital team began making calls again. Children returned for shots, and their parents were instructed to keep them home for 28 days. The nurse who greeted patients near the registration desk kept watch for those with fever and a rash who needed immediate isolation, and Arroyo rushed repeatedly to the intake area to look at worrisome rashes. As the fall wore on, the cases kept coming. In Williamsburg, Brooklyn, signs of concern. Natalie Keyssar  Chany has spent most of her life in Borough Park, not far from Maimonides. She has a youthful face, with bright green eyes and a tentative smile. When we met at a café near her home, she was wearing a wig, as married women in her ultra-­Orthodox community do, and was modestly dressed in a black skirt and long sleeves, with a black-and-white-striped duster on top. We’d been talking by phone for more than a month about the course her life had taken, from compliant patient to activist. She greeted me with a hug but then seemed to become wary. When Chany married and began having children in the 1990s, she took them to a pediatric practice and saw no reason to question the physicians’ recommendations. Her first three children received their vaccines on schedule. “I was open to the doctors, like a nice little girl,” she said. “Whatever they said, I did.” Yet as her children grew, Chany noticed problems, which she believes “should have been a red flag.” The first child had recurrent ear infections. When the third child was about a year and a half, Chany’s father said to her, “I don’t think he hears.” The boy was later diagnosed as being on the autism spectrum. Chany, whose last name WIRED agreed not to publish, had heard the idea that vaccines could cause injuries, but she hadn’t given it much thought. Now a glimmer of doubt entered her mind. When her fourth child was old enough to receive an MMR, she expressed her nervousness about vaccines to the doctor. She says he brushed her off, saying only that the shot was safe and effective. Chany felt dismissed, then disappointed with herself for allowing the child to be vaccinated. “Why can’t I tell him I don’t want this right now?” she thought. “Why can’t I stand up for myself?” Chany had hoped to go to college and become a speech therapist. By the time her husband finished his degree, though, she was consumed with the demands of a growing family. Now she turned what time and energy she had toward reading up on immunization. Searching online for books, she landed on one by Sherri Tenpenny, an Ohio physician who claimed that vaccines are linked to autism. One anti­vax source led to another. Chany began printing out lists of vaccine ingredients from the CDC, browsing the internet, and watching videos. She was drawn to videos by Andrew Moulden, a Canadian neuroscientist who claimed that vaccines cause autism by triggering oxygen deprivation or “mini strokes” in the brain. “His information really opened it up for me,” Chany says. She now felt certain that her third child’s speech and hearing delays had worsened after he started getting vaccines. She reached out to a well-known vaccine skeptic named Mayer Eisenstein. Unlike her own pediatrician, Eisenstein listened sympathetically to her concerns and even gave her his cell phone number. By the time Chany’s fifth child was due to receive shots, she was firm in her convictions. She believed vaccination had caused her children’s disabilities. “I realized it was my mistake,” she says. “And if I made a mistake, I’m going to have to fix it.” Chany decided to create a forum for women in her community. “No one likes to be alone,” she says. “If your child just got a vaccine and now he doesn’t speak anymore, your doctor’s not going to answer that.” Since some Hasidic sects frown on internet use, ultra-­Orthodox women often receive community news, inspirational talks, and other information by way of the phone. Chany worked with others who set up a hotline called Akeres Habayis, or Woman of the House, so that she could use it to share information. “Mothers can feel when something’s wrong with a child,” she told me, “and you should listen to their feelings and not disrespect them.” This sense of being disrespected and dismissed by doctors fueled Chany’s distrust of vaccines, but her suspicion of medical authorities may have had deeper roots. Two of her grandparents were survivors of Auschwitz. The other two lived in Romania under communist rule, where they were subjected to physical violence, before coming to Brooklyn in the 1960s. Torture, medical experimentation, and death by government edict seemed an inescapable part of Chany’s inheritance, and it was one she shared with members of her community. She viewed efforts by secular health departments to mandate vaccination as a threatening intrusion on private life. Chany began to host conference calls, later posted on Akeres Habayis. She began inviting guest speakers, including well-known vaccine skeptics. One of her first guests was Mayer Eisenstein, and 47 people called in. Some of the most popular calls drew several hundred women to live conversations, with a thousand or more dialing in later to listen to the recordings. Chany got to know a wide range of antivaxxers who had risen to prominence on the internet but had not yet found a foothold among the ultra-Orthodox. The hotline made her a powerful conduit of misinformation into a world that often shunned outsiders. As Chany cultivated ties with other like-minded ­people in her community, she came up with an informal name for the network: Peach (Parents Educating and Advocating for Children’s Health). “It was just a name,” she says. “It was a way to identify people who were in the same situation.” Around 2012 or 2013, a man named Moishe Kahan reached out to her about collaborating. Kahan lived in Williamsburg, another Brooklyn neighborhood with a large ultra-­Orthodox community. Kahan had grown up in London and hadn’t had vaccines as a child. Over time he became fiercely resistant to the very idea of them. Kahan developed a presence on Facebook, promoting conspiracy theories from sources like Infowars. He also became an independent distributor for a company called Immunotec, which sells dietary supplements and has funded research on the use of its products for children with autism. (Kahan did not respond to emails requesting comment.) Chany and Kahan joined forces. In 2014, Peach released a pamphlet called “The Vaccine Safety Handbook: An Informed Parent’s Guide,” listing Kahan as a contributing researcher. It was paid for by advertisements from local businesses and was filled with tales ostensibly linking vaccines to autism, SIDS, allergies, asthma, and cancer. A series of illustrations shows mothers struggling to communicate with arrogant doctors. “Doctor, my child became autistic/epileptic/anaphylactic after his vaccines,” says one woman, cradling an infant in her arms. “Obviously your child was defective. Vaccines are perfect,” the doctor replies. “How many ‘defective’ children would have remained perfectly healthy if not for vaccines?” asks the caption. In another illustration, a woman stands with her arm around a small boy. “My son regressed into autism after his MMR vaccine. Now he’s in his own world and can’t communicate,” she says. “But at least we had no problem enrolling him in school.” The tone of bitterness and regret in the handbook mirrored Chany’s feelings. So, too, did the call to mothers to feel empowered. There was an email address people could write to, and Chany would respond. The pamphlet also provided the number for a “Peach Hotline,” which connected callers to Akeres Habayis. Through the hotline they solicited volunteers, and Chany told those who contacted her how to distribute the pamphlet in their neighborhoods. “It’s a grassroots movement,” she says. “It’s literally person to person.” Measles is “literally all over the street,” says Dov Landa, a physician assistant in Williamsburg. Natalie Keyssar  In early 2014, an ultra-Orthodox woman named Zahava, who lives in Williamsburg, found a copy of the Peach pamphlet on her doorstep. For more than 70 years, Williamsburg has been home to Hasidic Jews, many descended from Eastern Europeans who settled there after surviving the Holocaust. Hasidim tend to live in close communities, living by tenets set forth in Jewish texts. Zahava, who agreed to speak as long as her full name wasn’t used, is devout and lives in a large apartment building, where children play together and extended families gather for meals. Others in her building received the Peach pamphlet too, and friends and neighbors pored over the sensational claims, especially those about autism. Roughly 40,000 copies of the pamphlet appeared in kosher grocery stores and by apartment doors in Williamsburg and Borough Park, as well as in ultra-­Orthodox communities in upstate New York and New Jersey. Zahava, who has delicate features, pale skin, and light eyes, read the pamphlet just months after giving birth to her first son. She felt terrified. The pamphlet played on the anxiety that she and other new parents often feel about bringing babies into a world of pesticides, plastics, and pollutants, and it seemed to offer a simple explanation for virtually any physical or developmental anomaly. “It doesn’t take much to put fear into a mother,” Zahava says. “And once the fear is there, it is very hard to get out of it and go to the logic.” Zahava did her shopping at an upscale kosher market and had the groceries delivered to her home. One day, inside her order was another copy of the pamphlet. It came again with subsequent food deliveries, filling her with dread about vaccinating her infant son. Each time she took her boy for a checkup or sick visit, she bombarded Dov Landa, the physician assistant who treated her child, with questions. She felt reassured by his well-­informed answers and his concern for her son, but the self-doubt would creep back in. One day at the grocery store, Zahava saw a pile of the pamphlets and felt her distress well up again. After asking the cashier if she could have them, she walked out with the stack and dropped it into the nearest trash can. Eventually, after her husband consulted with a rabbi, who assured them that the shots were safe, Zahava brought her son to Landa for his vaccinations. In 2015, Zahava had another child, a boy who had an easy temperament but kept getting high fevers and ear infections. “Every time we went to the doctor there was something else going on with him,” she said. His recurring sicknesses meant his immunizations had to be delayed. Just before his second birthday, in 2017, he was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer. After nine months of chemotherapy, Zahava’s son went into remission. But with a compromised immune system that wouldn’t respond to vaccines, he couldn’t receive his shots. In October 2018, just a month after her son got the green light to start preschool, Zahava’s husband heard about a measles outbreak on a Yiddish news hotline. A traveler who had contracted the disease in Israel, during the Jewish holiday of Sukkot, had brought it back to Brooklyn. The couple called Landa, who suggested that they keep their son home for a little while. Vaccines protect individuals, but they also protect the most vulnerable people in communities through a process called herd immunity. If enough people are immunized, there simply aren’t enough susceptible individuals for a virus to spread easily throughout a group. The virus runs out of steam ramming the doors of impenetrable fortresses before it can reach those who are too young to be vaccinated or whose immune systems are weak. Communities come in various sizes—whole countries, but also small pockets of people who live near each other or who have a strong group identity. To achieve herd immunity against measles, about 95 percent of a community needs to be immunized. And so its success depends on a high degree of cooperation; even a small number of holdouts can precipitate a crisis. That is what happened in Brooklyn—slowly, then all at once. Five years ago, the average vaccination rate at Jewish schools in Williamsburg, Borough Park, and Bushwick was 97.8 percent. Today it’s 96.2. About 9 percent of private schools in Brooklyn have vaccination rates of less than 90 percent. At one yeshiva in the Borough Park neighborhood, almost 97 percent of students were immunized against measles in 2012; today, the rate at that same school has fallen to 72.7 percent. The loss of herd immunity made it almost inevitable that measles would spread rapidly once it was introduced in Williamsburg and Borough Park, where extended families live in close quarters and gather frequently at synagogues and community halls. Measles cases worldwide were rising, with over 170,000 reported in 2017. And in October 2018, measles arrived in Brooklyn not once but at least six times. At least one child carrying the disease arrived from Israel, and other travelers brought it back to the US from Ukraine, where the border war with Russia had disrupted public health efforts. In Indonesia, Madagascar, and the Philippines, poverty and lack of health care access contributed to measles outbreaks. In the UK and a number of other European countries, the misinformation was largely responsible for heightened vulnerability. Misinformation has been spreading for years on tech platforms, thriving within what researchers call “small world” networks—clusters of people who are highly interconnected and tend to reinforce each other’s views. Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube had done little to limit the spread of propaganda, but as measles flared across the country, and pressure from lawmakers and journalists mounted, they succumbed and took modest steps. Facebook, for instance, announced it would stop letting antivaccine information be promoted through ads or recommendations, though plenty of well-known agitators remain active. On Amazon, books skeptical of vaccines still dominate search results. In Brooklyn’s ultra-Orthodox communities, the Peach name was adopted by other groups of vaccine-skeptical parents. In 2018, as the disease surged through yeshivas and play groups, Chany’s forum continued getting phone calls. Women with sick children dialed in to Akeres Habayis and traded remedies they used to take care of their kids at home. Some were hesitant to go to pediatricians and be reported to the department of health, Chany says. “Measles is not polio,” she adds, “and it’s not smallpox. It’s not the bubonic plague either.” But measles can have serious, long-term consequences, such as immune-system suppression and cognitive impairment, even for healthy children. And to someone like Zahava, with a vulnerable child, it was every bit as frightening as the plague. When another Peach pamphlet appeared on Zahava’s doorstep in 2018, her frustration mounted. She heard a rumor that a child in her son’s preschool class had measles. Zahava called the mother, explaining that if her son contracted the virus it could lead to pneumonia, brain swelling, and even death. She needed to know if the woman’s child had the disease before she sent him back to school. “I told her I needed to protect my child,” Zahava says. “And she said, ‘So maybe give him some vitamins to boost his immune system.’ I told her that wasn’t going to help at this point … She went on about how vaccines cause cancer and autism and everything in between. I’m like, ‘This is totally not where I wanted the conversation to go. Can we start again? Does your child have measles or not?’ ” Zahava knew that the vast majority of parents in Williamsburg still immunized their children. But the minority seemed the loudest. At a bris for her nephew, a woman was “talking herself blue in the face about how bad vaccines are.” Zahava noticed three other women—one with a baby, one pregnant, and one newly married—listening, rapt. Later, she regretted not speaking up. When her sister-in-law told her about an Orthodox nurse named Blima Marcus who was leading workshops on vaccines, Zahava decided to invite her to Williamsburg. In December about 10 Hasidic women, mostly in their twenties and thirties, sat in tiny orange chairs in a kindergarten classroom in a local school. Marcus, who stood at the front of the room, is an oncology nurse who devotes part of her time to counseling religious families on end-of-life care. When she became aware of how much misinformation was making the rounds in her community, she gave herself a crash course in the science of vaccines. She spends hours a week talking to mothers, taking pains to listen to their concerns. That day, one of her first questions to the women in the classroom was whether she needed to bother addressing whether vaccines cause autism. Given the settled science, she didn’t want to spend time unnecessarily. To her surprise, she says, “The women were like, ‘Of course we need to discuss autism!’” Marcus explained how Andrew Wakefield’s study had breathed life into the antivax movement. But the study was tiny and deeply flawed. “In over 20 years of research, that study has never, ever been reproduced,” Marcus told the women. Meanwhile, numerous papers, examining the medical records of hundreds of thousands of children, have found no association between the MMR vaccine and symptoms of autism. She told the women how, in 1993, Japan suspended the use of MMR vaccines because of concern about the mumps portion of the vaccine then being used in that country. But during the time in which the vaccine’s use dropped to zero, autism rates kept rising. When Marcus showed the women a graph of the two trends moving in opposite directions, several of them gasped. “That was it for most people in the room,” Marcus says. In her no-nonsense manner, Marcus refuted other myths about immunization. Some women had heard that vaccines contain aluminum that can cause harm to children; Marcus explained that aluminum is used to boost the body’s response to immunization, and most of it is cleared from the system within days. Minuscule quantities of even scary-sounding substances are unlikely to cause harm, she said, invoking the old saying “The dose makes the poison.” Zahava’s sister-in-law was there and felt a rush of relief. Hearing misinformation day after day, she says, makes it easy to second-guess yourself and think, “‘One second, am I the crazy one?’ The nurse actually had answers to all this nonsense.” Blima Marcus, an Orthodox nurse, explains vaccines to mothers in her community. Natalie Keyssar  In late March, flyers appeared on lampposts around Williamsburg and Borough Park: “Once and for all, Clarity!” The flyer featured an image of a massive syringe in a doctor’s hand, with the words “Vaccines save lives!” It then showed the same syringe emerging from the barrel of a gun, countering “Vaccines are dangerous!” Similar announcements ran, in Yiddish and English, in free local newspapers. The text of the flyer provided phone numbers for a call-in discussion with doctors, lawyers, rabbis, and politicians on March 31 at 8:30 pm. In Williamsburg, robocalls urged families to listen in. Zahava says she received five reminders on her landline in the days leading up to the event. No one seemed to know who was organizing the call. Dov Landa, who treats Zahava’s children and about 10,000 others in New York, had seen the announcements on a WhatsApp chat group and speculated throughout the day with colleagues. Landa estimates that only 1 percent of his patients are staunchly opposed to vaccines, while perhaps 20 percent are sincerely confused, awash in fearful misinformation. “They’ve heard the message so many times, even the moderates start to believe that maybe there’s something to it,” he says. His approach is to talk to parents about vaccine safety, one on one, again and again. He rarely leaves the office before 10 pm and often finds himself texting answers to questions about the MMR vaccine in the middle of the night. He was up at 2 am recently convincing a reluctant father to bring his daughter in for a second shot, which the family had delayed for years. Landa, who is a member of the Lubavitch Orthodox sect, passes out a pamphlet that Blima Marcus wrote with a group of other Orthodox nurses about the virtues of vaccines. He reminds parents that many rabbis have strongly supported routine shots. This form of persuasion is “painfully slow,” he says, but he believes that in the long run it is the most effective way to change minds. None of those messages were aired in the March 31 event. Instead of presenting scientific information, the call featured vaccine skeptics or outright critics. It was organized by a group called PACT—Parents Advocating for Children Together. Chany says Peach isn’t connected to PACT but told me “it’s the same idea.” In the past few years, among the ultra-Orthodox, the antivax movement has become a larger, loosely organized confederation: “If someone wants to do an event, they just do it,” she says. “There’s no central organization.” Chany supported PACT by donating through the group’s GoFundMe page and called in to listen. “It was good,” she says. “It woke people up.” During the call, Del Bigtree, who produced the movie Vaxxed with Andrew Wakefield and others, conducted an interview with Lawrence Palevsky, who describes himself as a holistic pediatrician. In sober cadence, Palevsky said “medical scientists are even using ­measles virus as a way to cure cancer. So of course people want to know the next question: If the measles virus is being used to help people resolve their cancer, is it possible that having the measles is a protector against getting cancer later on in life?” Zahava, who had tuned in almost as a test of resolve, felt stricken. At 11:30 that night she texted Blima Marcus: “Do you inject people with measles to cure cancer?” Marcus replied, “Inject measles to cure cancer? What?” Marcus told Zahava that measles actually weakens the immune system for two to three years. “And if so, measles prevents cancer,” Zahava replied, still with a glimmer of doubt. “No,” Marcus assured her. “It doesn’t.” For several days, Landa’s patients also inundated him with questions about the call. One mother unfolded the insert to the MMR vaccine in front of patients in the hallway and worried aloud about its contents. By that time, the New York City Department of Health was reporting a total of 317 measles cases in the city since the start of the outbreak. But Landa estimated that the true number was many times higher because some patients were avoiding doctors. Measles is “literally all over the street,” he told me. (By mid-June the official tally had risen to 596.) That same week, a 4-month-old baby with a fever and hacking cough came into Landa’s office. The boy didn’t have the characteristic measles rash, but he was breathing rapidly, struggling for air. When Landa sent him to a hospital emergency room, he tested positive for measles. The boy’s breathing continued to decline, and he was put on life support with a mask clamped over his face and pressurized oxygen pumped into his lungs. He had developed pneumonia and had to get intravenous antibiotics. Within a few days, a fierce red rash covered his body. After almost a week in intensive care, the boy was discharged to recuperate at home, the long-term effects of the disease still uncertain. For more than 70 years, Williamsburg has been home to Hasidic Jews, many descended from Eastern Europeans who settled there after surviving the Holocaust. Natalie Keyssar Measles can have serious, long-term consequences, such as immune-system suppression and cognitive impairment, even for healthy children. Natalie Keyssar  Before the advent of vaccines, nearly every child contracted measles before the age of 15. The disease reached epidemic proportions every two to three years, sweeping through communities in the late winter and spring. School absences rose, with feverish, coughing kids sequestered at home for weeks. With each wave, thousands of children were hospitalized with pneumonia or brain swelling, which could cause permanent brain damage, seizures, and even death. Because measles depletes the immune system, once children recovered they were more susceptible to ear infections, bronchitis, and pneumonia. One study, published in the journal Science, found that before vaccines, measles was indirectly responsible for as many as half of all deaths caused by childhood infectious disease. After the measles vaccine was licensed in 1963, the number of cases plummeted and the epidemic cycles ceased. Not only did vaccination represent a feat of medical science, it reflected a widespread understanding that self-protection and social protection are inevitably intertwined. The ultra-Orthodox live by this communal commandment. Landa points out that they come together to provide food for the elderly, organize visits to the sick, staff volunteer ambulance services, and make sure even those who can’t afford it get access to high-quality care. Getting vaccinated, he says, fits this duty to protect others in the community who cannot protect themselves. Yet fear of vaccines has challenged that group solidarity. When I asked Chany about the benefits of herd immunity, she would not acknowledge that communities as a whole gain protection from vaccines. The plight of children with compromised immune systems, like Zahava’s son, did give her pause. “That’s a tough one. I was in touch with somebody whose child had cancer and is on chemo, and her other son got measles,” she said. But she didn’t linger on the discomfort. “I don’t know what ended up happening, but I didn’t hear of anybody dying … There are a lot of viruses out there that are worse than measles, so just focusing on measles as the thing that’s going to kill someone who is immunocompromised doesn’t make sense.” (So far no deaths have been confirmed in the current US outbreak.) In early May, Zahava and I met in front of her apartment building, where a few neighbors chatted by the curb. By that time, New York City had declared a public health emergency, requiring that anyone over 6 months old living or working in Williamsburg be vaccinated with the MMR within 48 hours unless they could document a medical exemption or immunity to the disease. She wore a loose blue cap over her hair and pushed her younger son in a stroller. A few blond curls were visible around his face as Zahava adjusted the sunshade, speaking to him gently in Yiddish. As we walked to the corner, three or four school buses jockeyed for position, turning onto the main thoroughfare. Zahava’s son, still unimmunized because of his cancer, was required to remain at home, while students who came down with measles and recovered could return to school. “That’s the cutest part of the joke,” she said with a flash of sarcasm. Zahava was tired of keeping her son cooped up and away from other children. There are only so many craft projects she can come up with. He needed to be fit for new shoes, but she worried someone with measles might be in the store, so she went without him. “I do what I can, and the rest is all in God’s hands,” she said. Alexander Arroyo, the Maimonides doctor, also lives in one of the zip codes defined as a measles hot zone. His daughter turns 1 year old in August, and he has worried from the beginning of the outbreak that she’ll catch the disease before her scheduled MMR. “Yesterday alone I had four babies come in who were exposed in a pediatrician’s office and needed immunoglobulin,” he told me. Arroyo’s wife, who is also a physician, suggested that they give their daughter the MMR early, and he agreed. He brought a dose home from the hospital and put it in the refrigerator, “right by the margarine.” For days, however, work was so hectic that he didn’t have a moment to sit her down. Then one Saturday night in May, another infant, around the same age as his own child, came into the ER, dehydrated and feverish with measles. “OK,” he thought. “I’m done.” As soon as his shift was over, he hurried home and gave his daughter the vaccine. Measles Hot Spots Public health officials aspire to have 95 percent of people immunized against measles. At that level, you achieve herd immunity—that is, even those who can’t get shots will be protected by a wall of immunized neighbors. But in more than half of US states, student vaccination rates are lower than that. Some aren’t immunized for medical reasons, and nearly all states permit skipping shots for personal or religious beliefs. The result is that adults who aren’t fully protected and babies who are too young for their vaccines are vulnerable. A recent paper in The Lancet Infectious Diseases iden­tified 25 US counties most at risk for a measles resurgence, as seen on this map. The researchers based their conclusions not only on immunization rates and exemptions but also population size and—criti­cally—proximity to an international airport. Last year, 82 infected ­people brought ­measles into the country, according to the CDC. The Lancet study’s takeaway: Even well-­protected states like California and Texas could suffer outbreaks. —Joanna Pearlstein WASHINGTONMeasles cases in 2019*: 81(Personal-belief exemption rate: 3.7%)The year’s first outbreak started in January, triggered by a child who traveled from Ukraine to Clark County, Washington, which has an abysmal 84.5 percent vaccination rate. In May the governor signed a bill eliminating the personal-belief exemption for the MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccine. ILLINOISMeasles cases in 2019: 9(Personal-belief exemption rate: 0.9%)In May, a week after scientists named Cook County, Illinois, as the region most at risk of a measles outbreak, a traveler proved the point: A person with ­measles left a trail of possible exposures through O’Hare International (the sixth-busiest airport in the world), on public transit, and at a university campus. CALIFORNIAMeasles cases in 2019: 53(Personal-belief exemption rate: 0%)Six months after a measles outbreak in Disneyland in 2014, California eliminated the exemption that let parents opt out for personal beliefs; it had accounted for 2.5 percent of kindergartners. Medical exemptions, however, have been on the rise. NEW YORKMeasles cases in 2019: 897(Personal-belief exemption rate: 0.8%)New York has one of the country’s highest vaccination rates, but you wouldn’t know it based on the number of measles cases. That’s because in some communities, rates are dramatically lower. In six Brooklyn zip codes, immunization rates are under 92.5 percent. *As of June 21 Amanda Schaffer (@­abschaffer) is a science writer in Brooklyn.

"69314","Now that the festival season is almost here, Knowsley’s Public Health team is advising young festival goers to make sure they’re up to date with their measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) jabs.  Recently, there’s been an increase in measles and mumps cases across England, particularly in young people and children. Mass gathering events like festivals can be hot spots for measles and mumps as they present the perfect opportunity for the infection to spread.  Measles is a highly infectious viral illness that can sometimes lead to serious complications. It can be more severe in teenagers and adults than in children.  Two doses of the MMR vaccine offer the best protection against measles and mumps. So young people aged 15-25 who thinks they may have missed out on the MMR vaccine when they were younger are asked to check if they are up to date with their GP practice.  If you have symptoms of measles, stay at home and phone your GP or NHS 111 for advice.

"70413","Outbreaks of measles were worse in Yorkshire than any other part of the North of England between 2017 and 2018.  With at least 25 total cases of the deadly disease reported last year, the numbers are worse than Lancashire and the North East who reported no more than seven cases.  The revelation has come following a release of data from NHS England showing the level of Victorian diseases in the country today.  What else is on the rise?  The data, from NHS England, is based on the number of cases reported as both a primary diagnosis, the main reason for someone being admitted to hospital, and a secondary diagnosis, which someone may suffer from but not be the main reason they are in hospital.  Yorkshire has also seen more than 520 cases of tuberculosis, which used to kill one in four people in 1850, nearly 700 cases of malnutrition, 35 cases of whooping cough and 150 cases of scarlet fever which killed one in four people that were infected by it Victorian era..  Rickets, a condition which can affect bone strength and growth, also had more than 30 cases last year in Yorkshire.  Scurvy, a disease caused by a lack of Vitamin C, was spotted more than 30 times in the county.  What are the symptoms of measles?  Cases of measles usually start with symptoms such as a runny or blocked nose, combined with sneezing, watery eyes, and swollen eyelids.  White spots in the mouth, a cough, and a rash can follow, with the disease also raising the chance of catching a more deadly disease such as pneumonia which can kill.  Measles is easily avoided through a vaccine, offered on the NHS in two doses at the age of around six months and four years old, as part of the mumps, measles and rubella vaccine.",1,"uk"

"70713","“ If you need to get ill, ” Marcia Brady bellows. “ Sure can ’ t beat the measles ! ” Marcia provided the line in an episode of The Brady Bunch that aired in 1969. Fifty years later on, it &#x 27; s echoing through Facebook antivaxxer neighborhoods.  If you overlook the comedy context, it does seem like an alert mid-century marketing motto for the illness, the sort of thing a feverish Don Draper may have developed after his 8th Old Fashioned. Naturally, that ’ s how antivaxxers are taking it.  Marcia ’ s pro-measles platform has actually been a staple of the antivax neighborhood for a while now–it ’ s a popular meme, which implies that it ’ s likewise T-shirt. Screengrabs ofblonde-pigtailed Marcia smiling at the idea of measles are so typical in anti-vaccine online forums that Maureen McCormick, who played Marcia, got on NPR and asked to be left out from this story. She ’ s quaintly scandalized that complete strangers would utilize her face for their own ends without her approval, without asking her whether she thinks in vaccines or not. The antivaxxers do not care.  To them, whether Maureen McCormick immunized her kids, which she did, is unimportant, as is McCormicks ’ pain with ending up being the face of measles.(“ Boo hoo, ” check out a number of Facebook remarks. )Is the reality that the developer of The Brady Bunch, Sherwood Schwartz, was likewise a recognized kid vaccinator. Everybody included can wave their vaccination records all they desire and it won ’ t discourage anyone from purchasing a T-shirt that notifies the world that the titular household of a comedy stopped working to pass away of measles on daytime tv. This meme is not about Marcia or any of the Brady lot: It ’ s about having a piece of 1969.  For antivaxxers, the episode acts as a time pill from an age when measles was stilla typical youth disease. Since getting and spreading out the measles is a goofy, single-episode plotline in an uplifting comedy, the reasoning goes, measles break outs should not have actually been feared in the 1960s, so they shouldn ’ t be today.  That ’ s not always defective thinking. Comedies are a dreadful source for medical recommendations, however they do show the mainstream issues and mindsets of their time. Plainly your kid capturing measles was lower on the hierarchy of parenting concerns at that time. It ’ s not since measles ain ’ t so bad. Since 1960s moms and dads were expending their energy stressing over even worse illness like polio and smallpox and the bubonic pester, it ’ s most likely. The Bed-Bound Adventures of Miserable Rashy Children seem like a dreadful TELEVISION program.  Trouble is, when antivaxxers see the measles episode of The Brady Bunch, they ’ re not seeing a comedy in which the kids will undoubtedly discover that contaminating themselves with measles to prevent school was a bad choice. They ’ re seeing an paid announcement for an appropriatepester that was a laughing matter simply half a century earlier. And after that they bring Braxton over to Jaxon ’ s home so the kids can cough in each other ’ s deal with. In doing so, antivaxxer moms and dads are dooming their kids to life in a medical 1960s that never ever in fact existed since it ’ s conjured out of a single piece of fiction, expanded with third-hand fond memoriesand persistent self-fulfilling prediction.

"71013","Please follow and like us:  Students and professors at 2 schools have actually been exposed as variety of United States measles cases strikes 25-year high  More than 1,000 trainees and team member at 2 Los Angeles universities were quarantined on school or sent out house today in among the most sweeping efforts yet by public health authorities to include the spread of measles in the United States, where cases have actually reached a 25-year high.  By Friday afternoon, 2 days after Los Angeles county bought the safety measures, more than 325 of those impacted had actually been cleared to return after showing their resistance to the illness, through either medical records or tests, school authorities stated.  The action at the University of California, Los Angeles, and California State University, Los Angeles, which together have more than 65,000 trainees, showed the severity with which public health authorities are taking the country’s break out.  “Measles really eliminates individuals. We have to take that actually seriously,” stated Dr Armand Dorian, primary medical officer at the University of Southern California’s Verdugo Hills healthcare facility.  Cal State-LA reported 875 trainees, personnel, professors and visitors were positioned under quarantine after potentially being exposed to measles this month. About 250 had actually been cleared by Friday after showing they are unsusceptible to the illness.  At UCLA, 129 trainees and professors were quarantined. All however 46 had actually been cleared by Friday.  The afflicted individuals were singled out based upon their possible direct exposure to either a contaminated UCLA trainee who had actually participated in classes in 2 structures on 3 days previously this month, or an individual with measles who went to a Cal State-LA library on 11 April, authorities stated.  Those under the quarantine– among the most significant in state history, the Los Angeles Times reported– were advised to remain at house and prevent contact with others. They likewise were disallowed from taking a trip by public transport, consisting of airplanes, taxis, buses or trains. If they had to take a trip for an emergency situation, they were informed to inform public health authorities.  “This is a lawfully binding order,” the county’s public health director, Dr Barbara Ferrer, informed press reporters.  Anyone who breached it might be prosecuted, she stated, however she included that it appeared everybody is working together up until now.  “We have actually scheduled those who reside on school to be looked after at UCLA while they are quarantined,” the UCLA chancellor, Gene Block, stated in a declaration on Wednesday. “Please be ensured that we have the resources we require for avoidance and treatment, which we are working extremely carefully with regional public health authorities on the matter.”  Several trainees at Cal State-LA were stunned that their school might be struck by a measles break out.  “When they resembled measles, I resembled, ‘What? Where did that originated from,'” stated Sergio Dula, an interactions significant.  Eden Guerra, a kinesiology significant, marvelled classes weren’t canceled, keeping in mind, “This resembles severe, like it’s life, you understand.”  The quarantine comes as the variety of measles cases in the United States this year struck a quarter-century high , regardless of being stated all however gotten rid of from the nation in 2000. Universities and colleges are a location of issue for public health authorities, the Los Angeles Times reported, since the present generation of university student were babies when Andrew Wakefield, the disgraced previous British doctor, started spreading out the incorrect concept that vaccines were connected to autism.  The so-called “Wakefield generation” has lower rates of vaccination than other age, the Times reported.  Asmall break out of measles is happening in Los Angeles county including 5 verified cases connected to abroad travel.  State health authorities state the variety of measles cases is up in California this year and much of the boost is connected to abroad travel.  Dr Karen Smith, director of the California department of public health, states the state tape-recorded 38 measles cases since Thursday, versus 11 around the exact same time in 2015.  She states the state normally sees less than 2 lots cases a year.  This year, California’s cases extend throughout 11 counties and impact clients from 5 months to 55 years of age.  She states more than 76% of clients were not immunized or did not get the suggested 2 dosages of vaccine.  Fourteen of those contaminated had actually taken a trip overseas to nations consisting of Philippines, Thailand, India and Ukraine.  Measles signs consist of high fever, a rash and a cough.

The Prime Minister will set out the plans to improve vaccination rates – including for the measles, mumps and rubella jab (MMR) – on a visit to a hospital in the South West on Monday.  He has called for health leaders to renew their efforts to ensure 95% of the population have had both doses of the MMR vaccine.  Currently only 87.2% of children have the second dose of the jab, down from a high of 88.6% in 2014-15, the lower uptake of which is thought to be partly behind the spread of measles, Downing Street said.  There were 231 confirmed cases of measles in the UK during the first quarter of 2019, and Britain has lost its ‘measles-free’ status with the World Health Organisation (WHO) three years after the virus was eliminated in the country.

The Government will also seek to update the advice on the NHS’s website to address misleading information about the dangers of vaccines.  The UK lost its ‘measles-free’ status three years after the virus was eliminated in the country (Picture: PA)  Social media companies will also be called to a summit to discuss how they can promote accurate information about vaccination.  The Department for Health and Social Care will also deliver a strategy to address the issue in the autumn, in which the NHS is expected to be asked to use technology to identify who may have missed a vaccination and make booking appointments easier.  Footballer skewered by pole through the neck while training  Ahead of the visit, Mr Johnson said: ‘After a period of progress where we were once able to declare Britain measles free, we’ve now seen hundreds of cases of measles in the UK this year.  ‘One case of this horrible disease is too many, and I am determined to step up our efforts to tackle its spread.  ‘This is a global challenge and there’s a number of reasons why people don’t get themselves or their children the vaccines they need, but we need decisive action across our health service and society to make sure communities are properly immunised.

Man, 22, raising money for private vasectomy after NHS claims he’s ‘too young’  ‘With this strategy, the whole health system will come together to renew focus on vaccinations, especially for our children, and this time we will eliminate measles for good.’  Dr Mary Ramsay, head of immunisation at Public Health England, said: ‘Losing our measles-free status is a stark reminder of how important it is that every eligible person gets vaccinated.  ‘Elimination can only be sustained by maintaining and improving coverage of the MMR vaccine.  ‘Measles is one of the most infectious diseases known to man – only one person travelling back to an area with lower vaccination rates can lead to an outbreak.  ‘Anyone who has not received two doses of MMR vaccine is always at risk.  ‘Making it as easy as possible for parents to access vaccines so that they can offer their children the best possible start in life is a priority for us, DHSC and for NHS England.

The jab is the most effective prevention against the disease, providing a 93 percent effectiveness rate. Only 95 percent of the population needs to be immunised against the disease to provide protection known as ‘herd immunity’. However, there are growing numbers of people who are now refusing to take the jab, out of unfounded fears it would leave their children with life-long disabilities.  What caused new outbreaks of measles? Recent outbreaks of measles have crept across the planet in huge numbers. In the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) in Africa, the disease has claimed the lives of more than 2500 people.

"74713","Measles and rubella can be eliminated and congenital rubella infections prevented by achieving high uptake of the combined measles, mumps and rubella ( MMR ) vaccine in national childhood immunisation programmes. All Member States of the World Health Organization ( WHO ) European Region have a longstanding commitment to eliminating measles and rubella and this is a core goal of the European Vaccine Action Plan 2015 to 2020. In the UK the MMR vaccine is offered to all children at 1 year of age, with a second dose given at 3 years and 4 months.  Public Health England is responsible for collating and submitting evidence every year, on behalf of the devolved administrations (England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland), to the UK national verification committee (NVC) and the WHO Regional Verification Commission for Measles and Rubella Elimination (RVC) for review and evaluation on an annual basis.  The elimination verification process is based on evidence documented by each Member State to show whether interruption of endemic transmission of measles and/or rubella at national level has been achieved and, if not, that a national plan has been developed to address this.  The following essential criteria are required to verify elimination of measles and rubella in the UK :  the absence of endemic measles and rubella cases for a period of at least 12 months from the last known case, due to complete interruption of endemic virus transmission  the presence of a high-quality surveillance system that is sensitive and specific enough to detect, confirm and classify all suspected cases  genotyping evidence that supports the interruption of endemic transmission  The WHO confirmed that the UK achieved elimination status for rubella in 2015 and this has been maintained since that time. For measles the UK initially achieved WHO measles elimination status in 2017, based on data from 2014-2016. However, based on measles cases in 2018, the WHO has concluded that the transmission of measles virus has been re-established in the UK . See Tables 1 and 2.  Table1.

"74813","The measles infection spreads out through sneezing and coughing and can reside in the air where a contaminated individual sneezed or coughed for approximately 2 hours. If somebody who is not unsusceptible to the infection breathes the air or touches a contaminated surface area, they can end up being contaminated, according to the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.  (CNN) Measles, the extremely infectious and formerly removed viral health problem, has actually been spreading out in neighborhoods throughout the United States in current weeks, with Washington stating a state of emergency situation recently and New York reporting in 2018 its 2nd biggest break out over the previous twenty years.  “Measles is among the most extremely infectious illness understood,”Sammons stated. As soon as an individual has measles, about 90% of close contacts who are prone to it will establish the illness, she included.  In the United States, individuals who are unvaccinated typically capture measles while taking a trip in other nations and after that spread it to other unvaccinated individuals upon their return, which can begin break outs, according to the CDC.  What does measles appear like?  Measles typically manifests as a mix of high fever, as high as 105 degrees Fahrenheit, in addition to what is called the 3 Cs: cough, coryza (another word for runny nose), and conjunctivitis or pink eye, Sammons described.  Early on, measles can appear like numerous other viral diseases, however the red blotchy rash that features it might assist set it apart.  “Imagine that you have a container of rash. If you put that container of rash over your head, the rash sort of waterfalls down,” Sammons stated. “So the rash begins over the head, usually over the scalp, and after that it spreads out down head to toe.”  People with measles are generally rather ill. “They are really sick-appearing and unpleasant,” she stated.  If you think measles, call the physician very first  She likewise advises anybody who is worried about measles to talk to a healthcare service provider prior to entering the workplace.  “What you do not wish to do is to go to a hectic pediatric waiting space, for instance, and possibly expose others,” Sammons stated.  Instead, she suggests calling ahead and revealing issues about measles so the care group can offer assistance on how to the majority of securely generate the client.

How concerned should moms and dads have to do with measles?  “We need to all be stressed when a vaccine-preventable disease is returning into our nation,” Sammons stated. “We understand that we have an extremely efficient vaccine, and it’s truly due to under-vaccination that it is returning.”  The vaccine offers security versus the disease well into the adult years, however Sammons cautions that for those who are too young to be immunized or who have actually selected not to immunize, the health problem can be even fatal and extremely infectious.  And public health authorities like Sammons have actually revealed issue over the little however growing variety of unvaccinated kids in the United States.  Although a high portion of immunized individuals in one neighborhood can keep the infection from dispersing, a principle called herd resistance , the variety of immunized individuals needed to stop an infection as contagious as measles is close to 95%. With households who select not to immunize frequently clustering together, herd resistance does not use appropriate defense.  Why do some moms and dads choose not to immunize?  “Being victims of our own success with the vaccine, we have not seen it,” Sammons stated. “So when you consider moms and dads bringing their kids in for immunizations, it’s not an illness that looms big in your memory.”  Thanks to the efficiency of the measles vaccine, measles was stated removed in the United States in 2000.  She likewise acknowledges that it can be hard for moms and dads to browse the quantity of details offered online which false information and fear about vaccines have actually spread out commonly.  The American Academy of Pediatrics, the CDC and the American Academy of Family Physicians suggest that kids get the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine at 12 to 15 months old and once again at 4 to 6 years of ages.  Children taking a trip abroad might require to be immunized prior to their very first birthday, and females who are wanting to conceive must go over vaccinations with their healthcare company, as the MMR vaccine is not advised throughout pregnancy.  “We make a great deal of choices in our life around parenting; regrettably, this is one that not just affects the choice you have actually produced your kid however likewise effects other kids and individuals around them,” Sammons included.  And with increasing numbers, immunized individuals might be beginning to question simply how secured they are.  Is it possible to agreement measles if you’ve been immunized?  Two dosages of the measles vaccine secure versus measles in 97% of cases, according to the CDC  In individuals who have actually been vaccinated, it is possible to contract the health problem, however it generally has a milder course, Sammons discusses.",1,"uk"

Mass gathering events like festivals can be hot spots for measles and mumps as they present the perfect opportunity for the infection to spread.  The MMR vaccine protects against three infections; measles, mumps and rubella.

There has recently been an increase in measles and mumps cases across England, particularly in young people and children. There are also several large measles outbreaks across Europe which has prompted Public Health England to also call on parents to get their children vaccinated against MMR when the vaccine is offered, or for them to take it up now if they didn't have it at the scheduled time.  Colin Cox, Cumbria County Council's Director of Public Health, said:  ""The MMR vaccine is the safest and most effective way to protect against measles, mumps and rubella.

"77713","Measles is on the rise in the UK according to figures, meaning Britain has lost its ‘measles-free’ status. The World Health Organization previously confirmed the UK eliminated measles in 2016. The rise in measles cases is believed to be caused by people opting against the measles vaccine. In 1998, Dr Andrew Wakefield published a research paper claiming to link the measles vaccine to autism.  While the paper was retracted after the link was found to be false, anti-vaxxers still cite the paper. Prime Minister Boris Johnson has now ordered urgent action to boost the number of children and young people receiving vaccinations, and TV doctor Dr Chris Steele took to ITV’s This Morning to urge people to get the vaccine and to warn of the complications that can occur. Dr Chris described the rise in measles cases as “very frustrating”. The initial symptoms of measles are a cold-like symptoms, watery, swollen and red eyes, and small greyish-white spots in the mouth. But around two to four days after the initial symptoms, a rash can develop. The rash looks like reddy brown spots, said Dr Chris, and these spread into patches.  Dr Chris added: “All you have to do is look at the child’s face. It’s called ‘miserable measles’.” What’s most worrying, says Dr Chris, is the serious complications associated with measles. Dr Chris said: “There can be serious complications and you must never forget this.” Measles can cause a range of complications – fits or convulsions are a common complication, but in some cases, it can develop into meningitis or encephalitis (infection of the brain). For people who have found the flu vaccine didn’t prevent them getting flu, and doubt the effectiveness of the measles vaccine, Dr Chris offered his expert advice.  He said: “Flu is caused by many different types of viruses and the vaccine only protects against two or three. “[The measles vaccine] is specifically against measles, there’s evidence it does not cause autism and doesn’t overload the immune system.” Dr Chris’ final message was: “Get injected, not infected.” Measles can be avoided with the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine. The vaccine is given as part of the routine NHS childhood vaccination programme – One dose is usually given to a child when they’re 12 to 13 months old. A second dose is given at 3 years and 4 months. The NHS states: “Contact your GP if you’re uncertain about whether your child’s vaccinations are up-to-date. “You or your child can be vaccinated at any point if you haven’t been fully vaccinated before.”",1,"uk"

"77913","Please follow and like us:  Number of cases approaches 700 as specialists alert other vaccine-preventable health problems might see a return  Measles in the United States has actually reached its greatest level in 25 years, surrounding 700 cases this year in a renewal mostly credited to false information that is turning moms and dads versus vaccines.  “This is worrying,” stated Dr William Schaffner, a Vanderbilt University vaccine professional. Not just is measles harmful in itself, however its return might imply other vaccine-preventable illness relatively consigned to the past may return too, he stated.  The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention stated 695 cases had actually been reported in 22 states this year, since Wednesday afternoon. That was up from 626 reported Monday and makes this the nation’s worst year for measles considering that 1994, with 8 months still to enter 2019. There were 963 cases in 1994.  Roughly three-quarters of this year’s diseases in the United States have actually remained in New York state, primarily in 2 ultra-Orthodox Jewish neighborhoods in Brooklyn and rural Rockland county. The majority of those cases have actually remained in unvaccinated individuals.  The variety of cases is most likely to go even greater. When somebody coughs or sneezes, Measles is extremely infectious and can spread out through the air. And in current days, Jewish households have actually been collecting for Passover meals. It can take 10 to 12 days for signs to establish.  The CDC suggests the vaccine for everybody over a years of age, other than for individuals who had the illness as kids. Those who have actually had measles are immune.  The vaccine, which appeared in the 1960s, is thought about extremely reliable and safe, and since of it, measles was stated all however removed in the United States in 2000. It has actually made resurgences considering that then, consisting of 667 cases in 2014.  Public health professionals state some United States neighborhoods have low vaccination rates since of the spread of bad info– particularly the now-debunked concept that the measles-mumps-rubella vaccine is connected to autism– through social networks, handouts, hotlines and other ways.  “Many moms and dads hesitate. And if you wish to think your kid does not require that numerous shots, there’s lots of locations to discover individuals who concur with you,” stated Dr Jonathan Fielding, previous head of the Los Angeles county department of public health. “It’s not so simple to recognize what is genuine and what is not.”  Measles in many people triggers fever, runny nose, cough and a rash all over the body. An extremely little portion of those contaminated can suffer problems such as pneumonia and a harmful swelling of the brain.  According to the CDC, for every single 1,000 kids who get measles, a couple of will pass away from it. No deaths have actually been taped this year.  Measles’ return might be an early indication of renewals in other vaccine-preventable illness such as rubella, chickenpox and bacterial meningitis, Schaffner stated.  “Measles is the signal that in these neighborhoods where there’s extensive under-vaccination, they are prone to an entire menu of contagious illness we believed were relegated to the past,” he stated.  Sixty-one of the brand-new cases were reported in hard-hit New York City.  Up to now, the greatest single United States measles break out recently remained in 2014, when 383 cases were reported in the Amish neighborhood in 9 Ohio counties. On Wednesday, New York City authorities stated the break out focused in some of Brooklyn’s Jewish communities has actually accounted for 390 cases considering that October.  “These cases are plain tips of why New Yorkers need to get immunized versus the measles as quickly as possible,” the New York City health commissioner, Dr Oxiris Barbot, stated.  Ultra-Orthodox rabbis typically have no spiritual objections to vaccines and have actually prompted their fans to get inoculated. The “anti-vaxxer” motion has actually made inroads amongst the ultra-Orthodox, even though they have little direct exposure to the web.  Earlier this month, city authorities bought compulsory vaccinations in 4 postal code in Brooklyn and threatened fines of approximately $1,000 for noncompliance. City authorities stated 12 individuals had actually been released summonses.  There have actually been 3 measles-related deaths reported in the U.S. because 2000, the last one in 2015.

Monitoring data to march 21, 2018. A person with measles can infect 15 to 20 people, measles is a highly contagious viral infection, and potentially serious, for which there is no curative treatment. It is a disease that affects not only young children but also teenagers and young adults. Measles is caused by a respiratory virus which is transmitted through the projection of droplets and / or salivary breathing, especially when coughing and sneezing. The contagiousness of measles begins about four days before the rash and lasts until about four days after the beginning of the eruption. Vaccination is the only way to be protected against measles public Health France recalls the need for a vaccine coverage is very high in the population (at least 95% with two doses of the vaccine in children and young adults). Such collective protection would eliminate the disease and its complications and to protect also the the most fragile people that cannot be immunized (infants under one year, pregnant women, immunocompromised persons). It is therefore imperative that all individuals born from 1980 onwards have received two doses of the vaccine. As of January 1, 2018, vaccination against measles is mandatory in infants, who should receive a dose of the combination vaccine Measles-Mumps-Rubella (MMR) vaccine at 12 months of age and a second dose between 16 and 18 months.

"3262","An electron micrograph of measles virus. Credit: CDC / Courtesy of Cynthia S. Goldsmith The 5th Conference on vaccines of the european Society of clinical microbiology and infectious diseases (ESCMID) will hear him say that the risk of failure of the vaccination of children can go well beyond a specific vaccine, although the most urgent problem to solve is the resurgence of measles. Measles, a highly infectious disease, is severe and causes fever, rash and other symptoms in most children, as well as complications, including pneumonia and brain inflammation. In 2018, measles has killed about 1 child out of 75 infected by the virus in the world, making more than 100 000 deaths. In addition, the research of assistant professor Michael Mina, director of the Centre for the dynamics of communicable diseases at Harvard T. H. school of public health, Chan and the Harvard medical school, Boston, Massachusetts, United States and colleagues from his group and other groups suggest that the infection by the measles to unvaccinated children increases their risk of getting another serious illness, not measles infectious diseases within 2-3 years after infection. Thus, after having survived the measles, the children may fall sick or die from other infections for which they previously had developed immunity, but this immunity has been wiped out by the measles virus. This observation, supported by numerous studies (since the mechanism is still in the study) shows that when the measles virus infects a person, it primarily infects a large portion of the memory cells of the immune system. The result is a so-called amnesia immune, according to which the immune system can't remember some of the diseases that he had fought in the past, thus exposing the children to a new infection by these other diseases. These results help to explain the huge declines in mysterious mortality of up to 50% after the introduction of measles vaccines, although before the vaccine, measles was generally associated with a lot less than 50% of child deaths. This went unnoticed in previous years, because clinicians, for example, would connect not the death of another infectious disease an infection by the measles, that the child could have been two years earlier and that would wipe out his immune memory of the other pathogen infection. ""Before vaccines, measles infected nearly everyone. Because we now think that infection with measles can erase the memory immune pre-existing, by preventing infection with the measles thanks to immunization, we prevent the future infection by other infectious diseases reintegrated into the body through the damage caused by measles, "" says Dr. Mina. ""The epidemiological data from the United Kingdom, the United States and Denmark show that measles poses to children an increased risk of mortality from infectious diseases due to other infections other than measles for about two or three years."" He continued: ""Prior to vaccination, the incidence of measles from year to year could explain almost all of the variation of the infectious diseases that are not related to measles. disease deaths in the last several decades. Overall, this suggests that the measles would have been associated with half of all child deaths due to infectious diseases prior to vaccination, which would explain the mysterious large drops in mortality observed after the introduction of the virus. vaccine,"" He adds: ""The only way for a child to recover from this amnesia immune if its memory cells"" re-learn ""to recognize and defend themselves against diseases that they had before known, and that they can do this by a new exhibition. to the pathogen or revaccination against this particular infection "". However, it is this re-exposure to other pathogens which is the long-term risk of an infection by the measles. A recent epidemiological study led by colleague Dr. Mina, Dr. Rik de Swart from the department of virosciences of the Erasmus medical centre Rotterdam, the netherlands, examined the clinical outcomes of more than 2,000 children infected by measles in the Uk (see link below). In this study, they found that children were much more likely to require a visit to the doctor and had higher rates of antibiotic prescriptions for 2 to 5 years after the measles. To mitigate these effects in the long term, Dr. Mina has suggested, ""It might be reasonable to consider a new vaccine with other vaccines for children following infection with measles"". However, he adds, ""given that many children infected with measles have not generally been immunized, either because of refusal (parental) or in contexts that do not have access to the vaccination initially, this may not always be a viable solution."" option."" Thus, the most important conclusion of these studies fascinating is without a doubt that the prevention of measles by immunization is crucial and that high vaccination coverage is a fundamental step of our days. Helen Johnson, an expert in mathematical modeling at the european Centre for prevention and control (ECDC), Solna, Sweden, and Dr Takis Panagiotopoulos, national School of public health, Athens, Greece, will highlight that even when The vaccination coverage current is high, the risk of infection may be concentrated in certain groups. By analyzing Greek data, they indicate that this increased risk may be associated with age (vaccine coverage low in previous years) or social aspects (for example, barriers to access for the roma population, and the reluctance to vaccination in health care workers or other groups of opinion). . Hazards to health care workers who are not vaccinated are clearly highlighted by these data. ""The risk of infection and subsequent transmission is associated with the way in which people come in contact,"" explains Johnson. ""Although only about 4% of cases involve health care workers, an individual case of this group was much more likely to cause five secondary cases or more. In contrast, approximately 30% of cases were of roma children aged 4 years and older. less, but each of these children has caused an average of a secondary infection about "". Even if the vaccination rate in the country is around 95%, pockets of unvaccinated people likely, such as the roma population or the workers in The field of health, may make such epidemics not only more probable but also considerably more important than what one might expect of the only assessments of the immunization coverage. ""The results underscore the imperative to maintain high vaccination coverage to all sub-national levels and in all population groups,"" explains Johnson. Data from the ECDC show that a vast epidemic of measles has hit the EU / EEA for the past three years, with 47 690 reported cases between 1 January 2016 and 30 June 2019. Only eight countries – Romania (14 712 cases), Italy (10 439), France (5 812), Greece (3 288 (c), the United Kingdom (2 412), Germany (2 240), Poland (1 874) and Bulgaria (1 295) were responsible for 88% of cases during this period, but several cases have occurred in each case. of the 30 countries reporting data to ECDC. The burden of measles in EU / EEA countries is particularly high among infants and adults, the groups most exposed to the risk of complications after infection. Notification rates are much higher among infants and children under 5 years of age than in older age groups. However, a significant proportion (39%) of the cases occurred during this period occurred in adults aged 20 years and older, reflecting a lack of immunity due to previous failures in the area of vaccination. many countries. ""The low uptake of the vaccine in certain groups means that, even in countries where the vaccination rate is very high, the recovery of the measles is a disturbing reality. It is tragic and unacceptable that children and adults continue to die from complications of the measles, safe and effective vaccines are readily available, "" concludes Johnson. The fifth congress ESCMID vaccine, which will cover multiple diseases preventable by vaccination, took place only a week after the announcement by WHO of the four european countries: the United Kingdom, Albania, the Czech Republic and Greece: they all had lost their previous status ""free of measles"". endemic transmission confirmed in four cases.

He concludes: ""The elimination of both measles and rubella is a goal of the highest priority that all countries of the WHO european Region are firmly committed to achieve. WHO urges health authorities to take every opportunity to reach children with routine immunization, as well as to identify and fill gaps in immunity among adolescents and adults.

The safety of vaccines is still very far from being established, to say it nicely and for very good reasons. In the first place, many studies have shown that children who acquire infections febrile acute such as measles, mumps, rubella, varicella, and flu and heal in the suite are much less likely to develop autoimmune diseases, chronic and cancer during their life, children just vaccinated against these diseases. Other studies further link the risk of death, hospitalization and other serious adverse reactions, not to a vaccine or vaccines in particular, but rather to the total number of vaccines administered, simultaneously or over the life of the patient. In other words, these terrible outcomes can't simply be considered weird individual, who would only be specific to certain individuals with sensitivities, but rather seem to be related to the very nature of the process of vaccination. These results are already more than sufficient to call into question, or even discrediting, the almost universal respect accorded to the concept of vaccination, not to mention the blank cheque that allows and even encourages the pharmaceutical industry to develop, market, and ultimately impose more and more vaccines, based on the principle that vaccines are safe and effective in all areas, they save huge amounts of money thanks to the non-support of patients with these diseases, and that it is therefore correct, or even desirable, to stack as many doses of many different vaccines that it is possible to market, often without reason other than to have the technical capacity to make them. This is the same assumption that allows the pharmaceutical industry to conduct its own safety studies, without a true placebo control of non-vaccinated individuals. This approach limits the adverse effects as those who are examined a few hours or a few days after the vaccination, thus excluding automatically the chronic diseases that may occur in the following",1,"france"

Tips before starting out for the Country First of all - explain the Cdc - all adults about to leave for Italy, please make sure to be vaccinated against measles and if they are not sure they should be vaccinated immediately. For children from 6 months to 1 year should be injected a dose of vaccine from 1 year and up the dose should be increased to two. In Italy, to be more affected than a year ago, I was in fact just the little ones under one year of age, which - according to the latest figures - which represent 6% of the cases of measles from January to the end of march. In absolute 62 confirmed cases, i.e. two cases of infection every 3 days. The risk to children is especially of complications, the most heavy for their bodies are weaker, such as infection super-bacteria such as ear infections, pneumonia, encephalitis. Far away from the minimum threshold of 95% Among the other european Countries included in the new note by the Cdc for the presence of measles include Germany and Belgium. The Italian data indicates the strong correlation between the percentage of the population that is not vaccinated and the spread of measles, with a minimum threshold of vaccinations, which should be at 95% in order not to affect the danger of epidemics. America has won the war on the measles eliminated in 2016 In 2015, the United States found themselves facing a similar situation, with an outbreak of measles that was taken in California because of a child who is not vaccinated. Then some schools were closed the entrance to the kids not immunized. The disease esantematica is, however, eradicated in the United States in the year 2000, and has been defeated in all of the Americas in September 2016. Measles was virtually eliminated from the american continent after 22 years of efforts and struggles to increase vaccinations of the populations concerned. Only isolated cases in the groups vaccinated with The managers of the health of the public remain on guard for cases, which are almost exclusively imported from abroad, that have been triggered in recent years small outbreaks in the United States.

The article was published in ""the Lancet"" was after 12 years recognized for fraud and removed from publication (p. Med. Prakt. Addition. Vaccinations 1/2010, pp. 5-15, 1/2011, p. 4-6). Today, however, vaccination opponents use this report as an argument against the safety of MMR vaccine. This article compares the risk and severity of complications associated with measles, mumps and rubella with the risk of development and severity of reactions odczynów poszczepiennych (nad) after the introduction of MMR vaccine. In whose favor drawn, the balance of risk? Measles measles (see tab. 1.) is an acute viral infectious disease whose etiological factor is the measles virus.1 the Only reservoir of the measles virus is man. The infection is transmitted by droplet infection and contact with infectious secretions (e.g., respiratory tract).2 rubella is an infection ogólnoustrojowym.1: incubation Period: (before the onset of symptoms zwiastunowych) averages 10 days (range: 8-12 days), and until osutki an average of 14 days (range: 7-18 days). In a systematic review of the literature, which includes 55 cases from 8 studies, it was shown that the median time of hatching was 12.5 days (95% CI: 11,8–13,2).3 Measles is characterized by high zakaźnością the risk of getting sick after contact from a person vulnerable to infection (nieszczepionej, which had not previously suffered from measles) is very large and can constitute >90% .1,4 the Basic reproduction ratio* (number of people, which infect one patient) measles is 12-18. The patient is contagious from the time symptoms appear zwiastunowych up to 3-4 days after the onset of osutki.2 Table. 1. Characterization of the epidemiology of measles – before universal vaccinations in Poland recorded 70 000-140 000 cases per year (in the years of epidemic even 200 000), the annual incidence since the year 1966, 1969, 1971 and 1973 among children aged 5-9 years made up?. 1895/100 000 – after the start of universal vaccination in Poland in the period 2006-2016 annual incidence did not exceed 0,35/100 000 in 2016. was 133 development measles: incubation period: Wed 10 days (range: 8-12 days) before the onset of symptoms of Ms. zwiastunowych and 14 days (range: 7-18 days) until osutki estimated risk after contact from a person vulnerable reaches 90% resistance przechorowanie Corey provides solid stability szczepieniaa the effectiveness of 1 dose of vaccine: 93% (range: 39-100%) 2 doses of vaccine: 97% (range: 67-100%) and Data from the studies evaluated the drug MMR II measles Epidemiology Measles is happening worldwide, except for countries which, thanks to vaccinations fully wykorzeniono development endemic. In the period when the measles vaccine was available, infection was widespread.1 for example, in the United States in 1963, it was reported that about 500 000 cases per year, of which about 500 were fatal and 150 000 had complications from respiratory, nearly 48 000 patients required hospitalization, and 4,000 developed brain inflammation, directing 25% of cases of irreversible neurological or deafness. The disease was observed mostly among children aged 5-9 years (50% of cases), and >95% of cases involved children under the age of 15. In the 1960-1964 years, the incidence of measles among children aged 5-9 years was 1234/100 000. After the start of vaccination of children against measles incidence decreased significantly, but the development of it has shifted to an earlier age group (<U+2265>15 years). In the period from 2001 to 2010, the incidence of measles in the United States ranged 0,03–0,12/100 000 depending on the age group.3 In Poland in the period before the introduction of vaccination against measles (1965-1974) in immunization program (PSO) in a year recorded 70 000-120 000 cases of measles, and in the period of the epidemic even 140 000-200 000! However, not all cases were registered in the practice of measles was sick children (number of cases corresponded to the cohort at birth). Just as in the United States, most cases (87,2–91,8%) concerned children under 10. year of life. The average annual incidence in the year 1966, 1969, 1971 and 1973 among children aged 5-9 years was 1895/100 000. Mandatory vaccination against measles for all children under the age of 13.-15. months started in 1975. The second dose of vaccine (3. Rome.) introduced in 1991. From the time of beginning the universal vaccination of children against measles incidence has steadily decreased from 70 000 in 1974 to 337 in 1997. The decrease in maturity is also recorded among children under 12. month of life (not provided vaccine by age) – with 1177,3/100 000 in 1973 to 227,7/100 000 in 1990.5 epidemiological Data provided by the National Institute of Public Health–State Department of Hygiene (NIZP–PZH) show that the incidence of measles in Russia in 2010-2016 years did not exceed 0,35/100 000 and the absolute number of 133 cases that were registered in 2016.6 at the end of 2016, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) published a report summarising the results of activities from years 2000-2015, aimed at eradicating B. measles in the world. The increase in the number of detected cases of measles have been recorded in three regions of the world Health Organization (who), in particular in the European Region (83%), mainly due to the local measles outbreak. So it was 2 years ago in Germany, particularly in Berlin, where in the period from October 2014 to March 2015, was recorded 950 confirmed diseases, of which 100 people have required hospitalization. It was the largest increase in the incidence in Germany since 2001.7 Currently, continuously, starting in February 2016, ongoing measles outbreak in Romania. According to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) in the period from January 2016 to April 2017 saw 4881 of measles, including 22 deaths (the majority concerned persons not vaccinated against measles). In October 2016, for 5. European Regional meeting of the Commission for Measles and Rubella, only 24 of the 53 countries in the who European Region have reported measles elimination goals. Another 13 countries stated that within 12-36 months was no longer their endemic disease that brings them to meet the criteria of elimination of the disease. Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Romania and Poland were recognized as the country's endemic occurrence of measles. In addition to the European Union of measles in 2017 also recorded in Afghanistan, Australia, Canada, the Republic of Central Africa, Ethiopia, Guinea, Liberia, Nigeria, Pakistan, Somalia, South Sudan, Switzerland, Syria, Ukraine and the United States.8 the effects of infection by measles virus Infection and measles virus almost always occurs with clinical symptoms (in 98% of cases of rash and fever). First appear so-called symptoms zwiastunowe treatment: malaise, high fever (40°C) lasting for 1-7 days, dry cough, continuing for up to 2 weeks, increased rhinitis and conjunctivitis. The severity of conjunctivitis is different (more adult) can escort his photophobia, lacrimation, and eyelid edema.The 2.4 Characteristic symptom of measles are spots Koplika – numerous-gray papules on buccal mucosa near the premolar. 1-2 days before appearance osutki and disappear within 1-2 days after its occurrence. Although it is pathognomonic (sufficient for diagnosis), its absence does not exclude measles.3 Then (diam. 14 days after contact with the virus) appears plamisto rash-papular on color from dark red to purple, often primarily on the head (forehead, below the hairline, behind the ears rash is not spread on the skin owłosionej), gradually covering the body and limbs. The rash begins to fade and disappear after 3-7 days, leaving brown spots and gentle exfoliation of the epidermis. Among other, less common symptoms listed: anorexia, diarrhea, generalized lymphadenopathy and enlargement of the spleen.1.4 Complications of measles Measles usually has a medium-severe or severe course and high risk of complications affects children aged <5 years (especially infants, children suffering from malnutrition with vitamin A deficiency) and adults aged >20 years (especially deficits of cellular immunity, e.g. patients with some of the characters, leukemia, AIDS).2,9 However, at least one complication of measles develops in about 30% of patients, regardless of risk factors (see table. 2.). The most frequent complication of measles is otitis media (7-9% of patients, and this applies primarily to children), and pneumonia (1-6% of patients), viral etiology or complex nadkażeniem bacterial, which is responsible for 60% of deaths of patients with measles.1,3 in adult patients, there is also a secondary hepatotropowe hepatitis, which is a manifestation of a generalized infection by the measles virus. Very severe, though rarely, neurological complications of measles. 0.1% of patients developed inflammation of the brain, which are associated with 15% mortality and 25% of patients leave persistent neurological effects. The first symptoms of tick-borne encephalitis usually appear about 6 days (range 1-15 days) after the retreat osutki, and the full clinical picture includes fever, headache, vomiting, stiff neck, drowsiness, convulsions, and in some cases coma. Seizures (with or without fever) occur in 0.6–0.7% of patients. Distant complication of measles is subacute sclerosing encephalitis (SSPE). It is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder of the Central nervous system (CNS) leading to death. It most often develops several years after measles (median: 7 years range: 1 month. to 27 years).1 it Occurs in 1-4/100 000 patients (3 times more often in men than women), and the risk factor is disease measles before the age of 2. year of life.2,3 the data, however, suggest that the incidence of SSPE in children who had measles before the age of 1. years, maybe more and up to 1/600 children.10 Table. 2. Complications of measles and the frequency of occurrence of otitis media 7-9/100A pneumonia 1-6/100A encephalitis 1/1000a persistent neurological effects 25/1000b death 15/1000b SSPE 1-4/100 000a death 80/100s thrombocytopenia 33/100 000 hospitalization of children aged 5 years and 25/100 children and adults aged 5-19 years 8/100 adults aged <U+2265>20 years 24/100 death 0,1–1/1000a and the frequency of patients with measles regardless of risk factors b frequency in patients with encephalitis, c frequency in patients with SSPE SSPE – subacute sclerosing encephalitis In the clinical course of SSPE initially observed regression property, mainly, impairment of memory and concentration, at least-conduct disorder, agnozję visual and apraksję. Over time, become more profound mental changes, and involuntary movements appear, and especially damage to the system piramidowego. In 20-30% of patients with SSPE there are seizures. The buildup of spastycznych symptoms (paresis, paralysis) and stiffness pozapiramidowa lead to the immobilization of the patient, and further deterioration in contact with him. Worse also and visual disturbances. Some patients (although rare) comes down to atrophy of the optic nerve. In the final stage of the disease, diminish the response to external stimuli, appears sometimes forced laughter and weeping, worse symptoms damage to the brain stem. In most cases (80%) death occurs within 1-3 years.11 Among other complications of measles in the literature described as thrombocytopenia (1/3000 sick children), inflammation of the larynx, trachea and bronchi, inflammation of the mouth, inflammation of the liver, Appendix, colon, pericardium, myocardium, glomerulonephritis, hipokaliemię and syndrome of Stevens Johnson. The presence of measles virus was shown also in the affected tissue of people with otosklerozą and Paget's disease. Some studies show that infection by measles virus can be important in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis. In addition, infection with measles virus can lead to a decrease in the number of CD4 lymphocytes , and the condition of immunosuppression may persist up to a month from the appearance osutki.3 Of patients with measles comes to secondary bacterial infections, including the symptoms of latent tuberculosis, often with severe leakage and obarczonej greater risk of death.2 in pregnant women, patients with measles have a higher risk of pregnancy complications and complications in the pregnant woman. Available data show that in pregnant women, patients with measles have a higher risk of spontaneous abortion, fetal death and preterm birth and low birth body weight at birth. In a descriptive study conducted by CDC in 15 (26%) of the 58 pregnant women, patients with measles developed pneumonia, and 2 women died. The most frequently observed complication of pregnancy was preterm labor (22%) and 5 (9%) pregnancies ended in spontaneous miscarriage.12 congenital Malformations in children born to mothers who had measles during pregnancy is rare and not confirmed a causal relationship with infection by the measles virus.1,3,13 it is estimated that the risk of death (total) measles is 1-3/1000 patients, although other sources of 0.1–1/1000 patients.2,3 the most Common cause of death due to measles in children is pneumonia, and in adults inflammation of the brain.1 Piggy piggy (widespread inflammation przyusznic) is an acute viral disease that is contagious, where the etiological factor is the mumps virus belonging to the family paramyksowirusów (see tab. 3.).14 the Only reservoir of the virus mumps human. The infection is transmitted by droplet infection or contact with us directly, or indirectly with infectious material (blood, saliva, cerebrospinal fluid, urine) or contaminated objects. Infection atriums are respiratory tract. Initial replication of virus occurs in the epithelial cells of the respiratory tract, then develops the viral load and the infection of many organs and tissues (including the salivary glands and Central nervous system).15: incubation Period: 12-25 days (dia. 16-18 days). The patient may be a source of infection from 7 days before the onset of swelling of salivary glands until 9 days after birth (the virus is present in urine up to 2 weeks).14,15 the Probability of infection with mumps virus of the person less vulnerable than in the case of measles and the house is 31%.16 the Basic factor reprodukacji pigs is 4-7. Table. 3. Characteristics of mumps epidemiology – before vaccination: countries in the who European Region (data from 12 countries. Inflammation accompanied by severe pain radiating nucleus in the perineum, swelling, redness and warming, pain in the abdomen and head, chills, nausea and vomiting. Symptoms usually disappear after 4 days, but the soreness of the testicle may remain even after a few weeks.14 Inflammation of the testis can disrupt the function of plemnikotwórczą and cause infertility (although most of this applies to boys with bilateral inflammation of the testicle). The available data also show that inflammation of the testicles, as a complication of mumps may increase the risk of testicular cancer.15 From 5-7% of adolescent girls, patients with mumps develops a one - or bilateral inflammation of the ovaries. The symptoms are less severe than in the case of inflammation of the testicles – more like appendicitis, i.e. pain and tenderness in the lower abdomen. It is not proven that inflammation of the ovaries was the reason of infertility in women. 10% of girls after puberty complication of mumps can be inflammation of the mammary gland. Table. 4.

Not been shown, however, that the infection is in later stages of pregnancy increased the risk of intrauterine death of the fetus or damage.18 Activity of the CNS in the course of mumps has been observed with very different frequencies in the studies of population, and also carried out during major epidemics, it was 1-67% of cases in the pig.16 in 60-70% of patients to mumps is not observed changes in cerebrospinal fluid characteristic of viral inflammation of the meninges (ZOMR), but in most cases it is asymptomatic skąpolub. Symptoms oponowe occur in 5-10% of patients ZOMR (more often in adults than in children), as a rule, have little gravity and are held during the week. Encephalitis with severe symptoms (violation of consciousness, seizures, and aphasia) is rare (2/100 000 patients) and includes about 1.4% mortality.15,18 Among others, although very rare, neurological complications of mumps see the ataxia of the brain, transverse myelitis, symptoms resembling poliomyelitis and hydrocephalus.16 Relatively frequently during inflammation of labyrinthitis observed, and temporary hearing damage (4% of patients on mumps), although irreparable damage comes rarely because of 5/100 000 patients.16,18 In the later period of the disease (up to several weeks after swelling of the salivary glands) in approximately 4% of patients on mumps develops pancreatitis. The disease usually is not severe, manifesting itself, acute pain in epigastria, nausea and vomiting, high fever, chills and diarrhea. In most cases passes spontaneously within 7 days.15,16 In some studies observed a correlation between pancreatitis and diabetes were not, however, prove the existence of a causal relationship.18,19 Other rare complications of mumps is inflammation of the heart muscle, joint, lacrimal gland, thyroid, thymus, liver and kidneys, autoimmunizacyjna hemolytic anemia and thrombocytopenia. Rubella and congenital rubella syndrome Rubella is ogólnoustrojową, viral infectious disease, which etiological factor is the rubella virus (see tab. 5.). The only reservoir of the virus is people. The infection is transmitted shit droplet infection but also through direct contact with infectious material (mainly of allocation of the upper respiratory tract, but also urine, blood and feces). The rubella virus is transmitted through the placenta, which can lead to infection in the fetus (congenital rubella syndrome – CRS).20 the Gate of infection are the upper respiratory tract, where the virus penetrates into nearby lymph nodes, copies and thus can prevent the majority of cells and tissues (lymphocytes, monocytes, conjunctiva, mucous membranes of synovial, cervix and placenta). : Incubation period: is 12 to 23 days (usually 16-18 days), and in most patients rash appears 14-17 days after infection.20,21 Rubella is characterized by a large zakaźnością during prolonged or frequent contact with patients and in cases of asymptomatic: more than 7 days before the onset of osutki to 6 days after its occurrence. The base rate reprodukacji rubella is 6-7. The risk of infection of the fetus is 85-100% when the rash appears in a pregnant woman during the first 12 weeks of pregnancy, 54% – when you are in 13.-16. week of pregnancy and 25% in 17.-22. week. Children with CRS shed the virus in urine and via the respiratory tract is very long, sometimes even over 12 months (from 50% up to 6 months. some up to 2 years).20 table 5. Characterization of the rubella epidemiology in the period 2010-2016, the annual incidence of rubella and CRS (total) ranged from 2.9 to 100/100 000, which corresponds to the absolute number 1105-38 548 cases. They may represent the only symptom of infection and can persist even for several weeks. A characteristic mottled or plamisto-pink papular rash first appears on the face (first, usually behind the ears) and the body, and after 1-2 days on the limbs. Osutce may be accompanied by itching. The rash disappears after 2-3 days, does not stain, but you may experience slight peeling of the skin. Among others, rare symptoms are observed enlargement of the spleen, inflammation of the throat, red spots on the soft palate and transient inflammation of the liver. Overcoming the disease leaves the immune system for life.20 Complications of rubella and congenital rubella syndrome, Complications of rubella are rare, more often in adolescents and adults than in children (see tab. 6.). Young women often there is pain and inflammation in joints-typically small joints of hands and wrist (70% of patients). In some cases, there is the transfer of arthritis into a chronic condition, however, scientific data concerning this issue of poor quality.21,26 Have 1/6000 patients (mostly women) develops encephalitis on good rokowaniu. Distant complication rubella (including CRS) is a progressive różyczkowe encephalitis. More often in children (1/3000 patients) than in adults, thrombocytopenia is observed. The literature describes cases of Guillain and Barrégo (GBS) patients with the rose, but do not prove the existence of a causal relationship. Such suspicions existed in the relationship between the incidence of rubella and the appearance of heterochromicznego inflammation Fuchs (grade chronic inflammation of the anterior segment of the choroid). In liquid, increase of intraocular pressure in patients with this disease, it was discovered RNA of rubella virus and a large titer of antibodies against the rubella virus.21 Table. 6. Complications of rubella and the frequency of occurrence of pain and inflammation in the joints 70/100 encephalitis 17/100 000 różyczkowe progressive encephalitis rarely thrombocytopenia 3/1000 viral infection of rubella in pregnant women is especially dangerous to the fetus. A serious complication is embriopatia różyczkowa or CRS, what's more, equally dangerous are infections of pregnant women attending clearly as asymptomatic (see table. 7.). To infection of the placenta occurs within 10 days after the occurrence osutki in women, and infection of the fetus within 20-30 days. The risk of fetal infection in the first trimester of pregnancy reaches 90% and can lead to severe impairments of the eyeball, for example, cataract (35%) or retinopatią (35%), as małooczem or glaucoma. Frequent complications of CRS are niesinicze heart defects – 30% of children observed were preserved cable the arterial, and 25% stenosis of the pulmonary artery and defects of the interventricular septum. Infection IUD in the later period of pregnancy are often associated with the occurrence of deafness (damage to the inner ear), which applies even to 80-90% of children with CRS. Serious complications of CRS also microcephaly (rarely occurs, although according to some sources, 27% of patients) and impaired mental development. Along with the above symptoms as a result of chronic infection with rubella virus is also observed interstitial pneumonia, hepatitis, myocarditis, muscle, kidney, brain, and ZOMR and chronic osutkę and the flaw małopłytkową. Sometimes complications arise in children infected wewnątrzmacicznie, but born as a healthy (interstitial pneumonia, chronic diarrhea, immune system disorders). Some patients with CRS after a few years, there has been a progressive różyczkowe encephalitis, various disorders autoimmunizacyjne and inflammation of the thyroid gland. According to reports, from 12-20% of people who were born with CRS in later age develop diabetes. In pregnant women infected with rubella virus can occur spontaneous abortions.21,25 table 7.

Ed. 6., 2013 ZOMR meningitis Events and adverse reactions after MMR vaccination side effects after MMR vaccination are associated with replication of live virus present in the vaccine. Most NOP is credited with the action of measles virus and rubella. About 90-95% of people develop immunity to measles after the first dose of MMR, so adverse events after the second dose of MMR occur less frequently, with attention to the neutralization of the vaccine virus.1,27,28 Among NOP after the introduction of MMR vaccine mentions, in particular, fever, febrile convulsions, osutkę of the skin, thrombocytopenia, lymphadenopathy, symptoms of the joints, allergic reactions and other rare symptoms, such as swelling of the salivary glands przyusznych (see tab. 8.).1,27,28 Tabl. 8.

Fever typically appears between 5. 14. a day (most often 7.-12. day) after inoculation and disappears after 1-2 days. Fever <U+2265>39°C, observed in 5-15% of vaccinees.1,27,28 Fever usually not accompanied by other common symptoms, but in rare cases it can cause seizures febrile convulsions. The causal relationship of MMR vaccine with the capture gorączkowymi confirmed in numerous studies. This risk, however, small, and evaluates them in 1 episode in 3000-4000 children who are vaccinated. Febrile seizures associated with vaccination have the nature of simple febrile seizures (generalized robbery, duration <15 minutes, without recurrence within 24 h, no earlier neurological disorders). The children who had an episode of febrile convulsions is simple, the prognosis is good. There were no differences in neurological development in children with convulsions gorączkowymi, compared with the average population of peers. In children after an episode of febrile seizures associated with vaccination, compared with children who have febrile convulsions have arisen due to other factors than vaccination, there is also a greater risk of developing epilepsy or violations neurorozwojowych. Febrile convulsions associated with MMR vaccine of fever, typically observed in 7-12 days (range: 5-14) after the first dose of the vaccine. After 2 weeks after MMR the risk of febrile convulsions is considered to be the same as in the population of unvaccinated children of the same age.29 According NIZP 2005-2015, in Poland, the year was described 1-11 cases of febrile convulsions as a NOP after MMR vaccination.33 the Appearance of febrile convulsions after the introduction of MMR is not a contraindication to further implementation of vaccination.29 Thrombocytopenia Thrombocytopenia associated with MMR vaccine occurs within 6 weeks (usually 2-3 weeks) after vaccination. It is estimated that the frequency of the NOP is 2.6/100,000 vaccine doses, the risk is thus less than in the case of a natural infection with measles virus or rubella (see table. 2. and 6.).1,31,34 Thrombocytopenia after MMR vaccination has the character of transient normalization of platelet count occurs within several days to several weeks (chronic form occurs in <10% of children). As a rule, are mild, have been registered only isolated cases of heavy bleeding. Thrombocytopenia after MMR vaccination is not an absolute contraindication to the implementation of vaccination in accordance with the PSO. Symptoms from the nervous system a Detailed review of the data on the Association of MMR with different disorders of the nervous system includes the report of the us Institute of Medicine (of the National Academy of Sciences, the analogue of the Polish Academy of Sciences [IOM]) on the safety of individual vaccines.30 it was found that there were insufficient data to confirm or reject a causal relationship between MMR and: inflammation of the brain encephalopathy convulsions without fever ZOMR ataxia diseases demielinizacyjnymi GBS p. 35 Simultaneously, it was found that the available data speak for denial of a causal link between MMR vaccination and autism (R. tab. 9.). Among more recent studies published after the appearance of the IOM report, to the attention of the American cohort study with retrospective data collection conducted by Jain et al., which was attended by nearly 96 000 children. The study authors found that MMR vaccine did not increase the risk of autism spectrum disorders in any age group. Similar results were obtained in the subgroup of children whose older brothers and sisters became ill with autism or other autism spectrum disorders.36 while the results of the 2 studies case-control-control, conducted in Japan show that the MMR vaccination, the total number of vaccinations or increase during the life of the child, exposure to thimerosal did not affect the risk of autism spectrum disorders.37,38 Data on the epidemiology and genotypowania measles virus suggested that szczepionkowe the measles virus does not cause SSPE.39,40 Table. 9.

These symptoms relate almost exclusively young women (up to 25% of vaccinees). 10-12% of them says: same symptoms as in the course of inflammation in the joints. These symptoms appear 7-21 days after vaccination and usually disappear within several days to 2 weeks. The literature describes cases of chronic persistence of joint symptoms in individuals vaccinated with MMR, but there is no data proving a causal relationship between these disorders and the MMR vaccine.27,28,34 Other reactions and adverse events in approximately 5% of vaccinees occurs a transient skin rash, most often 7-10 days after the introduction of MMR.1 1% of vaccinated children there is swelling of the parotid gland. Among the rare adverse events change swollen lymph nodes and inflammation of the testicles.14 allergic Reactions are rare, can occur because of Allergy to neomycin (trace amounts are found in both available in Poland drugs MMR) or gelatin (time in the drug M-M-RvaxPro). The frequency of anaphylactic reactions was estimated to be approximately 1 case per 1 000 000 doses. In several observational studies (clinical and control and kohortowych) has not been established a causal relationship between MMR vaccine and diabetes type 1 diabetes. Epidemiological data show that the introduction of vaccination against measles/MMR was not associated with increase in period of nonspecific intestinal inflammation.30 Summary Contrary to popular belief, popular among patients, measles, mumps and rubella are not weak diseases of childhood, and the consequences of the disease, in contrast to the NOP related to the MMR vaccination can be very heavy. The most frequent NOP after MMR vaccination include fever, odropodobna osutkę of the skin and transient joint pain or arthritis symptoms. In individuals vaccinated with MMR can arise NOP, requiring hospitalization, such as febrile convulsions and thrombocytopenia, however, the symptoms of CNS and thrombocytopenia more often arise in connection with natural infection than vaccination. In turn, the disease from measles, mumps and rubella carries the risk of serious complications, such as pneumonia, hearing damage (including deafness), inflammation of the testicle in men (including infertility), as well as severe complications in the nervous system, for example, ZOMR, encephalitis, and those distant (occurring several years after onset of the disease), i.e. różyczkowe progressive encephalitis and SSPE. Infection with rubella virus in pregnant women is associated in particular with the risk of CRS child and, as a consequence, in particular, with hearing impairments (including deafness), disorders of the eyeball (cataract, glaucoma, małoocze, retinopathy), niesiniczymi heart defects (preserved cable the arterial, stenosis of the pulmonary arteries, septal defects), disorders of mental development and małogłowiem. In people with CRS also there is a progressive różyczkowe encephalitis. For a pregnant woman and the fetus also dangerous infection with measles virus, which can cause spontaneous abortion, fetal death and preterm birth and low birth body weight at birth. Comparison of the risk of virus infection measles, mumps and rubella with the risk of NOP after MMR vaccination points to the benefits of vaccination",1,"poland"
"59011","The minister of Health, he is More, he confessed, in an interview for the News....en, that by the Law of vaccination has received a lot of messages that ""keep you awake at night"", and with ""best wishes"" for the children, but that he takes it because he has the belief that vaccination is the only way to prevent a lot of illnesses. The minister also talked about the outbreak of measles, said she doesn't want people ""to get into the hysteria of” everyone else is doing this and appreciate it as an irresponsible act contraindicarea of vaccination by some medical doctors that have a tendency to go to medical school at the edge of the traditional one. About the Law of vaccination, the minister says that there has been provided penalties for parents who refuse to vaccinate, but instead, it has been said that he has talked about a possible prosecution of the parent for the mistreatment of the child, if he dies, in the case of a parent not to vaccinate, given the fact that I saw the parents jailed for beating their children, according to the News.en. After the Players said that the vaccination is the only way to prevent a lot of illnesses, but, however, it will not be a mandatory vaccination, they will not be round up their parents ""volunteered” to go with their children to vaccination, and no police to capture those who refuse to vaccinate. After the Players had spoken about the notification on the withdrawal from the market of medicinal products, claiming that they could not be taken out of the market overnight, but the current rules force the manufacturer to keep them for a year in a cast, during which time patients have access to them. The minister warns that worst is that they come out on the market generic medicines, is one of the reasons being the tax clawback. Also read: Premiere: the Vaccines, they would be able to get on the list of the treatment outweighed the Minister's warning that there are distributors that export to the Romania, more than 90% of the products that we get from the importers, and that some of the companies buy drugs from several drugstore, and then export them. Read below for my interview with the minister of Health, he is More: the Drugs for which they are required to withdraw from the market won't disappear over night, should be kept in a cast for a year, the notification Reporter: you Are the minister who has spoken out for the first time in public about the crisis in the health-care system, with an emphasis on vaccines. But, let's see, first of all, what is the status of the drugs. There was a notice on the National Agency for Medicines and Medical Devices for the withdrawal of the authorisation for the placing on the market (the APP) for the 11 drugs. What is the situation today? So what can you do for your patients don't care about the future in terms of medicine? More: yes, there is the recent on-site MONITORING notification on the withdrawal of the APP on certain medications. They will not be removed overnight. According to the law, you are required to keep for a year or so, so patients will have access to these medications. For the last year, so far, more than 500 to 600 of the medication was taken off the market, but they also have the option of therapy, I mean either a dell, or another company that provide on the Romanian market. And in those 11 there is an alternative for some of them. There are some soothing to the need of patients with cancer, and that I don't have a match. On Thursday, I asked the audience of the Romanian Association of International Medicine Manufacturers (ARPIM) to take a decision in the face of this situation, because, you know, continuously, I had to meet with the producers. We are once again in the revision of the order of the calculation of the price of the product. I follow a personal, day to day, this is the point. I will make the best decisions for the patients to remain drug-free. Read also: Start a campaign of vaccination antigripala. How many doses are available? More: what I have found, there is also an attitude somewhat unfair on the part the drug companies, which seek to withdraw the medicinal products from the market, by trying to force the hand of the Ministry to increase the prices. It is not an invention of the Romanian lower prices, there is a policy at the level of the European Commission to increase the access of patients to the treatment. On the other hand, the Ministry has made the decision to cheapen the price of the medication without providing, shall we say, a ""compensation"" for the pharmaceutical industry. Because, as you know, the list of compensated medicines has been updated three or four times, the last one was on Thursday, I introduced the medicines to the patients, transplant recipients, and hepatitis C, have introduced the medicine to cardiology, and rare diseases. They are new molecules, which up to now has not been entered on the Romanian market. So, on the one hand, we are trying to increase patient access to the therapies already in existence, but the new therapy. And I am determined to follow and take action immediately when there is a crisis. I don't want that in my term of office I had a different crisis than the one of the vaccines, which are in the process of dealing with, let's say, that I wouldn't be able to tell you that I fix it. Seriously it's like they've come out on the market and generic drugs, is one of the reasons being the tax clawback Interviewer: there Are 500 to 600 of the drugs that are now lacking in the market. More: no, No, there are 500 to 600 of the drugs that have made the request to come out on the market today, and many have been replaced with generic drugs. What is bad is that it came out, and the generic drug in the market, and that's what we talked about with the prime minister. One of the reasons is the clawback tax, in order that, for generic medicines, which come in during the market it is burdensome, and the Romanian producers, and the producers of generics are complaining about this. At present, there is an analysis of the Ministry of Finance, as most of you know, the clawback tax is not one made by the Ministry of Health, but we're all working together. Reporter: At this point, if we're talking about a crisis in the drug, would you please tell me how many oncology drugs are missing, and five, or two? Also read: the daea: we don't Want to be working with charlie to a vaccine against african Players At this moment, I can tell you that in oncology, we're sitting ducks. We are oncology drugs, which we need for our protocols. There are a few molecules that have not yet come on the market, the procedure for the special, but I'm in the process of arriving. Basically, it's a circle that's spinning around all the time, and I have been keeping a lookout for that if you're not aware, we can't even react. And that's when I made the decision that REPORTING to inform the hospitals to keep me informed at all times in respect to the stock, with respect to any opportunity for these drugs to be on the stock, even if it is there in the market. Reporter: the Point, again. These reminders of the on-site MONITORING of the withdrawal of the agreement of the placing on the market, it doesn't mean that the drugs are gone, but you just know that they will go away? More: this Is a notice to notify the NAMMD about the intent of the withdrawal of consent for the placing on the market. But, according to the law, they have to keep it on the market for over a year. Blocking parallel exports, will ensure on-going access to treatment, and will allow for the verification of the consumption for the Reporter: have You notified to the European Commission for blocking parallel exports. The developers have said that it is a measure of a welcome, but short-lived, and if you don't solve the root cause, i.e. the price of the small, the innovative, and the tax clawback for generics, the crisis will deepen. Can you change the price? More: For the price, every single company that has submitted the file. The prices are not yet set, at the prices they are working on at the moment. The notification shall be made by the Ministry of the Economy, but in order to get the opinion of the European Commission, will seek the intervention of the World Health Organization, in this case, I'm going to justify it in the first place, by the requirements that they have from the pharmacy, with a look at some of the drugs that they supply is very difficult, or even absent, but in which we have no information that you enter in Romania, and they come out on a different circuit than the patient in the novel, even if there is an order by the minister requiring the distributors to have stock for a month or so, in such a way that the patient, the novel doesn't have to suffer. But, at the same time, I would ask, in addition to all the justification of the legal, you've got to show them WHAT is blocking the export, in order to be able to carry out the analysis. At the same time, there are no specific data relating to the consumption of drugs in Romania. You can tell just by the Insurance company, it settles to a certain volume. But, there are particular medicines the the the the patients and buy them directly from the pharmacy, prescribed medications on the list of necompensata. After that, we have a quantity of clearly-defined drugs, then you can ask for importers and distributors, this is, that the amount to be covered in each and every year in Romania. So, basically, if I give it permission to block the export side, we have the tool to measure the exact consumption of drugs in Romania, plus/ minus, but either way, I will be able to get a much better coverage for the patients of the romans. If we are the sum of the exports, there are also parallel circuits, which is not reported to the fda, the companies who get these medicines on the other tracks. Don't they go back to REPORTING the export side. Plus, there are chains that are going up, you buy medication from several pharmacies, and then exported. It is difficult to estimate the real energy consumption. If I lock in for a year of export, intra-community, and by taking these steps you want, the clawback tax will be differentiated to walk to some of the financial indicators that affect the ... and innovative. Reporter: do you Have a message for the patient? Patients who are afraid of the drugs, or that I can't find the medications that I heard the news that they have left to export? Players: for example, at the beginning of this year has been a crisis in the Rivotrilului (a medicine for epilepsy, don't.r. a.), a crisis that we have inherited for the past year, and I promise you that I'll do it. It's true that I haven't managed to get the Rivotrilul in a few days, I'm told, but I got it back, and now it's on the market, in both concentrations, and for the kids, and for grown-ups. At the same time, I got it from the manufacturer a fair amount of Klonopin for kids, it will be distributed to the hospitals at a price that has no competition. This is the amount of Klonopin that will come almost as a donation, so the cost is very small. And it will only go to the hospitals for the children. Just yesterday we sent the request on behalf of the company, to the hospitals that we send you this Klonopin for children to be identified by the commission. Experts say that this product is not absolutely necessary, but I don't know, in my experience, if they are used to pick up an Altoid, it's very hard to change and take a different medication that does not have the same composition. But if we take, instead of Algocalmin, Nurofen, it will be pretty hard, especially when I am 70 years of age, or if you are a parent and have a child that has this kind of treatment. I started off in this particular case, in order to emphasize the fact that I was getting personal, and I know all of these issues. And I want to assure the patients of the romans, in the sequel, for any drug that's going to disappear from the market, I will allow myself to be. I have asked the secretary of state and the director of the MONITORING to be informed of every step that is going on, and where there are bottlenecks, I'll chime in. We can't just depriving a child of vaccination, because it is the only way to prevent a lot of illnesses Reporter: There's a second problem, much discussed in these days, all of the drug, but a vaccine. There have been a lot of talk about vaccines and what's really interesting is the fact that the representative of the World Health Organization's regional director, said that ""the problem of the bilirubin can not be solved by the establishment of a legal obligation of vaccination in order to be able to go to school. It's in a lot of countries in Europe. At the same time, and the premier of the claims, can be more restrained, but he claims the same thing, that the parents would have to make a choice of what they want for their own children, but to keep in mind as you enter into the community. You, as the minister of Health, would you be able to send a strong message, to take, in the same way as the representative of the World Health Organization, as the need to vaccinate their children, so they can't get into the school if they are not immunized? More: I send you this message, just like in Romania, there is a right to an education, and I don't think we can depriving a child of education. So the way I figure it, with all my strength, as I can't to depriving a child of vaccination. On Thursday, the lady director said that the most precious gift we can make to our child's immunity, and we do this by several means: alaptandu him on the breast, vaccinandu it. I want to talk about it as a parent: I have two daughters, both of them are vaccinated, they were both at the press conference on Thursday, and have stayed from the beginning to the end. And I think that every parent should vaccinate their children. That's what I think. I Respect the decision of parents who do not want to vaccinate their children, but I do think that you need to take on that responsibility. In terms of children who have particular problems, which have a certain sensibility, which has certain conditions that prohibit vaccination, on Thursday, at a conference, one speaker presented the statistics on the vaccination. And we have seen that there are counties in which more than 30 per cent of the children had not been vaccinated due to the state of the practice. This means that, at the time, I was able to make the vaccine. So, I don't do the course with strength, we do not collect the children move or parents volunteered to bring their children to vaccination. The children, when it comes to vaccination, I see, by my family doctor. The family doctor knows the history of the child, in certain circumstances, could prohibit or delay a vaccination. The process of inoculation, it is not to put any pressure on anyone. The baby is coming, it is being investigated, is to be consulted, it is recommended to have the vaccine, your baby may refuse it, may put the question. This law, which has brought so much controversy is raised in the public debate, just to give you the opportunity to be improved, brought up to a level. I would love for it to be widely accepted. But if the majority of the population, Romania's accept, the form of the bill, which will come out of it - and I do believe that you will get a bill of good, then we will have technical working groups in each county, who shall be able to inform the parents that they will discuss it with my parents, we don't have police that will handcuff the parents, as it appeared in the media. I know these things go on sale, there was any news, but I do feel that the media should be with the Ministry of Health. It's not with me, it doesn't matter who is the minister of Health. I took this to show the law, in the public debate, I have taken all of what you're getting through your messages and on Facebook and on all of the channels available. I took it and I'm assuming this is because I believe that the only way to prevent these serious diseases is vaccination. And I think it's important that all of the children of Romania, to be able to have access to it. I didn't put it in the discussion earlier on the law, because I knew what the problem with the stock. I get it, I'm just trying to sort it out, I'm in the process of solving a crisis on our hands, which I'm told is a manage it with your full attention. There are family physicians that have a tendency to prohibit vaccination against measles, which is why it is a bit irresponsible, isn't More. I'd like to tell you that I've had a lot of discussion on this topic with the director of the regional of the World Health Organization. It is a visit at the highest level, made in Romania, this has not been a visit of this level for many, many years. I have asked you to bring in Romania the vaccination with any form. Now, he has promised that he will personally see to talk to the big companies, with their leadership at the global level, to bring in Romania the vaccine, the MMR, for measles, in order that we can stop this epidemic. I don't want the population to go into hysterics as if everyone's going to make the chicken pox. That's not what this is all about, we do have the outbreaks, we know where those hot spots, it is very important that you do the inoculation at the focal point. At the same time, the parents of the children who reach the age of one year, you need to get vaccinated, and you have to follow the instructions of the physicians of the family. I know that there are family doctors who have such a tendency, sort of novativa, making a kind of medicine for a family on the edge of traditional medicine, and some of that prohibit vaccination, but I think it is completely irresponsible, and I think we need to have confidence in the values of the medical research. The vaccines, which are sold on the Romanian market there are vaccines that are approved at the european level. I have found that WHILE the product of a european company, but made in India. This shot was a part, which is not allowed in the european market. And then, even though I'm in the middle of an epidemic, to me, it is very important that the safety of the children, the romans to be identical with the security for the benefit of any child of a european. I don't do the experience, we get only the vaccines that are licensed, that does not have a component that is forbidden on the Romanian market. Although there are many vaccines that are proven to be good, and I don't give an adverse reaction I have great respect for the european legislation, and I will not make any compromise on this. Basically, the Romanian children will receive only the vaccines that are licensed in Europe. I have provided penalties for parents who refuse to vaccinate Reporter: they are Not mentioned in the draft this solution, I thought of one of them? More: the assumption of the rectiilor side is provided. So, basically, in this project, they are provided with responsibilities for both the Ministry of Health, as well as to the state of the novel, as well as for the Direction of Public Health, as well as for their parents. I said as I laid the responsibility for all actors in the system, and I don't have a problem, we will assume what is to be taken to the Ministry of Health. And I'm going to assume I'm not running from accountability, you don't want to point the finger at. I have provided penalties for parents who refuse to vaccinate, even though I've been accused of having spoken of the ill-treatment of the child. But I haven't seen the parent who gets to go to jail because he beat up the kid. No it's not silly. But, I think, in the public discussion, they came to a great many suggestions, some fancy, some with no support, others are very insightful. It will be submitted for public debate. If we go by how many letters I have received, I think I might just have to rent the Hall of the Palace, I expect you to have a very large audience. I'll be there, and we're going to be there for the whole team. I know very well the law, and all the processes related to the vaccination, and a number of technical details. I don't want out an activity check. The law will then go into the House. What I want is a perfect law, the law is pretty, not a law of the journey, not the law open to interpretation. The law is very clear that a law that stabilesca, and the rights and obligations of all actors in the system. Interviewer: do you remember one of the most hilarious messages related to the flu shot? More: I sent someone a picture of the top of it was a research lab, and it said, ""the laboratory of vaccinology and 200 years of research"", below the ""laboratory of the antivaccinologie - that's 200 minutes on Facebook"". I was tempted to put it on the web, but I felt like I need to take a serious, professional, and academic. But most of the posts have had a tone of command, but they were in a category that does not let you sleep at night, with the best wishes for me, for the kids, they're kids, they don't have any fault in all of this. If anyone out there has any fault, for taking on the debate of this bill, then I'm the one responsible, I made the decision to be made in the public debate. I think that this is a crucial time for Romania, a moment in which you make it very clear for the future. I don't think we want to do in the future, we have an epidemic of the disease. I think that the voices of all the pseudo-experts, leaders, erijati you anivaccinismului, I have heard, but not taken into account. Reporter: So, what is the message of your bag. More: Vaccination is a public health problem. Vaccination saves lives. Read also: Traian Băsescu, about the crisis of the vaccine: children are Dying",1,"romania"

"10801","The movement of anti-vaccination, and the unwillingness on the part of many parents in different parts of the world are posing a serious threat to the maintenance of high coverage for measles, if only we will trust in current immunization programs, and the risk of infection to increase by 50% by 2050. The second moved forward to the Public, it is necessary to think of new and effective strategies to adatadas to the reality of each country, and that you will be able to avoid an increase in susceptible individuals (not vaccinated), and, at the same time, to address gaps in other age groups, who have escaped from the program and are not currently protected. To (re -) to eliminate measles, it takes a lot more than what you're doing, it has been concluded in a study published Friday in the journal of access in BMC Medicine. “Over the last few years, we have seen a resurgence of measles, even in developed countries where, in accordance with the guidelines of the World Health Organization [WHO], the deletion should have been done, ' she says in the introduction to this article. In the richer countries, the increase in the movement of anti-vaccination, and the unwillingness on the part of parental vaccine you are putting the major challenges for the attainment and maintenance of high coverage with the routine program of vaccination”, found the researchers from the Center for Information Technology in the city of Trento and the University of Bocconi in Milan, both in Italy. The proof of this is the fact that in Italy and France, have already adopted the new regulations on, respectively, by the year 2017, and 2018, with the goal of increasing immunization rates among young children, adding the vaccination is compulsory in the school. In this study, the researchers studied seven different countries – United Kingdom, Ireland, israel, Italy, the United States of america (USA), Australia, Singapore, malaysia, and South Korea – in order to simulate the evolution of the profile of immunity to the disease, and to evaluate the effect of the adjustments in the programmes of vaccination. At the beginning of this week, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have announced a new total of 839 individual cases of measles in 23 states in the united states since the beginning of the year, representing the largest reported outbreak of measles in this country in the last 25 years. The analysis took into consideration the characteristics and demographics specific to each country, taking into account the current gaps in the immunity of individuals of a particular age group, as well as all the data is recorded in the year 2018. The scientists have presented different scenarios for the evolution up to 2050 and that, in a nutshell, if you are based in the improvement or maintenance of the existing approaches, and which are covered by national immunization programmes and, on the other hand, the possible adoption of other measures that are extraordinary, such as the introduction of the obligatory vaccination at the entry to primary school in countries where there is compulsory education. To pass the threshold of safety, The model shows that, under the current policy matters, as well as just as Singapore and South Korea, would be a small fraction of the susceptible population to below the threshold of what is considered to be safe to ensure the elimination of measles. This is the threshold, then the scientists should be no more than 7.5% of the population. In the United Kingdom, Ireland, us, US, and Australia, the increase in the coverage of the routine is up to 95% or so of the introduction of a vaccination is mandatory at the entrance of the school, with a coverage of more than 40% is necessary in order to maintain the individuals that are susceptible to below 7.5% by 2050,"" concluded the article. In the year 2018, the proportion of the population that is susceptible to infection due to measles in the study countries ranged from 3.7% in the United Kingdom to 9.3% in Italy (the only country where the ratio was higher than 7.5%). In Australia, Ireland, the United Kingdom and in the united states, vaccination programs need to continue to provide coverage of more than 95% of the population in order to maintain the proportion of susceptible individuals to below 7.5% by the year 2050. In the case of Italy, even with the measures in an exceptional to answer this problem, the projections of the scientists are for the period to 2050 they point to the dramatic scenery of the level of vulnerability in reaching out to more than 14% of the population and more than 50% of the people who are susceptible, with more than 25 years of age. “Our results show that, in the case of the coverage of the current programmes remain unchanged, and the percentage of individuals who are at risk of infection, should increase by 2018, and by 2050 more than 50 per cent in all countries, with the exception of South Korea,” reads the article. Even though they said that the vaccination is mandatory to enter the school, “certainly beneficial”, the scientists reported also that it is not enough to halt the danger. It is also necessary to respond to the lack of vaccination programs, which has resulted in some adults of a certain age can be in today's madrid. One thing is for sure: “The current vaccination policies are not sufficient to achieve and sustain the elimination of measles in the majority of countries. 14% of children aged 13 months exposed to the elements, A report by the European Centre for Disease Control May 10, analyzed the data of measles in 30 european countries between the 01st of April 2018 and 31 march 2019 at the latest, aiming for a total of 11.383 cases, 22 of them fatal. In the first three months of 2019, there have been about four thousand cases. Italy, France, germany, Romania, Greece, germany, and the United Kingdom came into being as the five countries with the highest number of cases in the last year under review. Portugal has emerged as one of the countries with the lowest number of cases per million inhabitants, (6,6), as well as far, in France, Italy and Luxembourg, all with more than 30 cases per million people, and is also far away from the average of the 30 countries, with a rate of 22 cases per million population. The Public has questioned the Ministry of Health is concerned about the current situation in the country, and on the possible adjustments to the national strategy, including the possible requirement for vaccinations at the entrance of the school, in order to address this serious public health problem. However, by the end of the day on Thursday, it has not received a response. Currently, schools are only obliged to inform the delegate of health in the case of vaccines that are missing. Data released this month by the Directorate-general of Health indicate that up to 14% of the Portuguese children are 13 months and they were not in 2018, that are protected against measles. The measles vaccine, the primary way to prevent the disease, it is usually given at 12 months of age. The National Programme of Immunisation in the Uk states that the first dose of the vaccine should be given at 12 months of age and the second at the age of five.",1,"portugal"

Scientists of the Paul-Ehrlich-Institute (PEI) found in an international research network that ABCE1, a member of the ABC Transporter protein family, a key role in the protein synthesis of all three virus types in this respect. On the results of the research mBio reported in its Online edition from the 14.05.2019. After only a few treatment options for severe viral diseases are available. Researchers have made the end of the Paul-Ehrlich-Institute, Prof. Veronika von Messling, to September 2018, the head of the Department of veterinary medicine, along with scientists from the USA, Singapore and Canada in search of common points of Attack from the virus of the virus family Paramyxoviridae and Pneumoviridae. These include such virus families, a number of clinically important viruses, such as measles and mumps virus (Paramyxoviridae) or the human respiratory syncytial virus (HRSV) (Pneumoviridae), the severity of respiratory infections in infants caused. In this case, the goal is to find new starting points for the development of effective medicines is. For their search, the researchers used RNA interference (Gene silencing): A double-stranded RNA molecules (siRNA) to silence genes by causing the degradation of complementary Messenger RNA (mRNA, messenger RNA). As a result, the proteins will not be formed, the products of these genes. The research group of Messling carried out such Screens with measles-, Mumps - and HRSV-virus and compared the results to find the processes and signal pathways in the cell, the use of all three virus types. The focus of ABCE1, a member of the ABC Transporter family, which possess an ATP-binding cassette came here. In further experiments, the researchers showed researchers that ABCE1 for the propagation of all three virus types is essential. “The results of our research not only provide an Overview of the cellular proteins and signaling pathways associated with infection by the measles, Mumps and HRSV-virus, but on show for the first time, that ABCE1 is required as a host factor of the virus. This could possibly be an important starting point for the development of broadly effective antiviral drugs,” explains von Messling, the significance of the findings. _______________________________________________________________________ The Paul-Ehrlich-Institut in Langen near Frankfurt am Main) as the Federal Institute for vaccines and biomedicines a Federal authority in the portfolio of the Federal Ministry for health (BMG.

In Greece, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), have been recorded 2916 cases of measles, with a higher frequency in Southern Greece, while in the last period there has been an increase in the incidence of measles, and in Northern Greece. In the great majority of these are people of Greek citizenship (especially young children from Roma communities and individuals from the general population mainly in the age group 25-44 years old) are not immune to measles, including health care professionals who were <U+03B1><U+03BD><U+03B5>µß<U+03BF><U+03BB><U+03AF><U+03B1><U+03C3><U+03C4><U+03BF><U+03B9> or incompletely vaccinated. It is expected that the laboratory confirmation, and other cases in the coming period, reports the CDC. Also, they have recorded 4 deaths in laboratory confirmed cases of measles. The CDC recommends vaccination with a mixed vaccine of measles-mumps-rubella (MMR vaccine) of children, adolescents and adults who have not been vaccinated with the necessary doses. According to the National Immunization Schedule, children, adolescents, and adults born after 1970 and does not have a history of disease should be vaccinated with 2 doses of vaccine for measles. A voluntary program of ""Health for All"" Within a month were vaccinated 499 children for measles ""measles is a highly contagious disease and the only effective protection is full vaccination, i.e. vaccination with two doses of the vaccine"", emphasize the scientists, the voluntary programme of ""Health for All"" , which carry out free vaccinations to children in all of Greece. It is characteristic that within a month the volunteers of the action ""Health for All"" vaccinated 499 children with the vaccine against measles.

On 28 April, were vaccinated 160 refugee children, and on 5 May, were vaccinated 130 refugee children in camp Thermopylae. The children have been vaccinated with the measles-mumps-rubella, hepatitis B and diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis-polio. ""The wide dispersion of the disease is in pockets of population with low vaccination coverage, such as the Roma,"" says the professor of Pediatrics, Director of the A' University Paediatric Clinic of the Hospital ""Agia Sofia"" George Chrousos. According to mr <U+03A7><U+03C1><U+03BF><U+03CD><U+03C3><U+03BF>, the vaccinations should be continued, as there is no specific drug for the treatment of measles. For this programme, ""Health for All"" will hold on 25 May, pediatric check-up and vaccination of children in the Municipality of Messina (in the Health Center/RPHL Messina) and in two camps in Wisconsin. This action will be implemented in cooperation with the Greek Red Cross, and the Pediatric Clinic of the General Hospital of Kalamata.

What the figures show According to the new report, generally the period 2000-2018: The rate of vaccination coverage globally has increased from 72% to 86% in The annual incidence of measles decreased by 66% (from 145 to 49 per 1 million population) The annual estimated deaths by 73% (from 536.000 in 142.300). Total saved 23,2 millions of lives, However, the period 2017-2018, the situation showed signs of reversing: The number of cases of measles in 2018 increased by 167% compared with 2016, The percentage of states with very few cases (under 5 per 1 million population) decreased significantly. From 70% in 2016, reached 54% in 2018. In absolute numbers this means that: In 2017, there have been around the world, 7.6 million new cases of measles and of 124,000 deaths In 2018, there were 9.8 million cases of measles and 142.300 deaths it should be Noted that the cases referred to in the world are a fraction of those that actually occur, because not all member mandatory registration systems. Thus, experts WHO use special algorithms to calculate approximate the real number of cases. ""Infuriating"" and ""frustrating"" situation ""Is practically an outrage that children die from diseases, such as measles, which can be prevented with vaccination,"" said the director-general of WHO, Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreysus. ""I can't say that I feel so surprised by the findings, as much as disappointed,"" added Dr. Robin Nandy, chief of Immunization at UNICEF. ""The levels of vaccination have stagnated in almost all regions of the world. We should not be in this position in 2019, when we have at our disposal for decades a safe and cheap vaccine"". The World Health Organization reports that in order to avoid epidemics of measles requires vaccination coverage of 95% of the population. In the case of measles need two doses of the vaccine. However, worldwide, only 86% of children have the first dose and only 69% in the second. Measles is a highly contagious disease caused by a virus. It is transmitted mainly through the air when a patient coughs or sneezes. More rarely it can be spread by objects contaminated recently by a patient. In the initial symptoms included high fever, cough, runny nose and watery eyes. After 2-4 days appear characteristic rash.",1,"greece"

After 2-4 days, measles virus infests local lymphatic tissues.

It is important now with the start of the school year to become the appropriate training of the staff and children on the measures of proper hygiene. Good hand washing, good ventilation of the premises, proper cleaning of shared toys and objects in elementary schools and kindergartens is essential. THE VACCINE OF <U+0399><U+039B><U+0391><U+03A1><U+0391><U+03A3> The vaccine against measles is safe and effective vaccine with few side effects. Few serious side effects are possible to occur but the potential risks associated with the measles in the conditions of an outbreak that we are experiencing, they are greater than the potential risks associated with the vaccine. What you need to know for the vaccination of adults: If you are an adult and you must have been vaccinated from 1963 to 1970, may have received an ineffective vaccine. The vaccine produced by the pharmaceutical industry during the 1963 to 1967, and possibly to be suspended until 1970, was ineffective with the result that people who have received it may not have complete immunity. These people need to take a dose of the modern vaccine. If you are an adult and you were born between 1963 and 1980 may have received only one dose of vaccine.Despite the fact that the vaccine against measles in order to have full effectiveness it should be administered in two doses, the majority of pediatricians of 1963-1980 were to provide only one dose. This was because during the first years of circulation of the vaccine had not been adequately studied immunological characteristics. The protective antibodies from the vaccine may be reduced dramatically over time. So if you are an adult, and properly vaccinated, have passed twenty years since the administration of the vaccine and outbreak of measles in your family environment you may need to have a vaccination again. If you were born before 1957, the possibility to have effective immunity to the measles due to physical illness, according to studies is 98%. Measles was very common in post-war Greece. With a simple blood test can determine if you have immunity to the measles. The administration of the vaccine with live attenuated viruses measles contraindicated: In patients with severe immunosuppression. In people with the possibility of dangerous allergic-type reactions to the vaccine. The vaccine should be administered at least 14 days before the administration of g-globulin or a blood transfusion or 3 months after. Women of childbearing age should avoid pregnancy for at least one month after the vaccination.

"9202","The president of the united states Donald Trump featured today “very important” to make all the vaccine for measles, as the country is facing the worst epidemic of this disease since 2000, when the authorities considered that the virus was fully eradicated. “We need to be vaccinated, it is very important,” said Trump in reply tersely to a question from a journalist in the gardens of the White House, before departing for Indiana. From the beginning of the year have been recorded 695 confirmed cases of measles in the united states. The extent of the epidemic is much lower in comparison with other countries, such as Ukraine (about 25,000 cases) or Madagascar (46.000 cases).

Thus, most outbreaks have occurred in communities of orthodox Jews of Brooklyn and Rockland County, near New York city, in a community of Jews of Detroit in a community of Russian-speaking people in the State of Washington. In New York, the municipality has made it compulsory vaccination in the districts where they were recorded the most cases. In Los Angeles, for precautionary reasons, two universities have quarantined those students who were in the same room with two patients and could not demonstrate that they have been vaccinated. Before elected president, the Trump had linked the concomitant administration of multiple doses of vaccines with autism, but he has repeated this belief in the last period. “I am not against the vaccination of your children, I disagree with the to deliver them all in a huge dose. Split (vaccines) in a large period of time, and autism will be reduced,” he wrote on Twitter the 2014. Similar posts had been made in the period 2012-15.

"9418","a cases of measles in Europe reached the 82.596 over three times higher than in 2017 (25.863) and most of the last decade, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Greece was among the ten european countries with the most cases. In particular, Greece was last year, eighth in number of cases (2.193) on the measles, while he was seventh in the ratio of cases in the total population, with 197 incidents per one million inhabitants. Increased were the deaths in Europe, 72 in 2018 from 42 in 2017. This is a highly viral contagious disease that can sometimes lead to serious complications (hearing loss, brain damage etc.), even fatal. Overall, immunization rates show improvement in Europe, as well as the percentage of children who receive the first dose of the vaccine reached an average of 95%, while the second dose 90%. On the other hand, however, growing pockets of resistance to vaccination, particularly in certain countries, where more and more parents refuse to vaccinate their children, usually for fear of the alleged side effects, despite scientific assurances that vaccines are safe and effective. In Italy, p.x. the Movement of the Five-Star hotel, <U+03C3><U+03C5><U+03B3><U+03BA><U+03C5>ß<U+03B5><U+03C1><U+03BD><U+03AC>, has publicly expressed doubts about the safety of certain vaccines and has recently spoken out against the mandatory vaccination. Last year, according to the BBC and the agency Reuters, over 90% of cases in Europe were recorded in ten countries, with first -and by far - the Ukraine (53.218), followed by Serbia (5.076), Israel (2.919 – the country is included in european statistics), France (2.913), Italy (2.517), Russia (2.256), Georgia (2.203), Greece (2.193), Albania (1.466) and Romania (1.087). Taking into account the population, the Ukraine also had the highest proportion of cases of measles with 1.209 incidents per one million inhabitants, an increase of ten times compared to 2017. The rise is attributed mainly to the fact that in the last few years, because of the conflict with Russia, it decreased dramatically to only 31% in the rate of vaccination, one of the lowest in the world, although more recently it recovered again to around 90%. The WHO hopes that the increase of cases in Europe will prove to be transient, although the current vaccination coverage does not seem high enough, in order to prevent the circulation of the virus in several countries. ""The picture for 2018 makes it clear that the current rate of progress, in terms of increased rates of immunisation, will be insufficient to stop the transmission of measles.

The incident was confirmed by the competent health authorities and they have already started procedures to trace, in order to identify all the persons who came in contact with the patient within the company and to determine if they are stuck and if they transmit further the disease. The United States know that the period one of the worst epidemics of measles, which has ""recover"" for the last two years all over the world, in spite of that prevented 100% through vaccination. The alarm sounded in the Silicon Valley because measles is highly contagious (about 7 times more contagious than the flu!) and it's not just the kids. The patient was found in Google could transmit the disease to dozens of people, and each of them in turn to dozens of other people who are ill transmit the disease for about 4 days before appearance of rash to 4 days after. The measles virus colonizes the nasal mucosa and the oropharynx people suffering from the disease. When the diseased sneeze or cough, the droplets disperse through the air and can contaminate other people or various environmental surfaces, remaining active and infectious for a period of at least 2 hours. Most patients pass the disease mild. However, a rate of 6% -20% of people suffering from the disease will experience ear infection, diarrhea or even pneumonia. One in 1,000 patients with measles will present encephalitis and about one in 1,000 will end up. Sources: CNN-USAtoday, c. d. c. Read also: measles threatens, and this year the Europe",1,"greece"
"9832","The cases of measles in Europe reached the 82.596, over three times higher than in 2017 (25.863) and most of the last decade, according to the World Health Organization (WHO). Greece was among the ten european countries with the most cases, as it was last year, eighth in number of cases (2.193), while he was seventh in the ratio of cases in the total population, with 197 cases of measles per one million inhabitants. Increased were the deaths due to measles in Europe, 72 in 2018 from 42 in 2017. Measles is a highly contagious viral disease which sometimes can lead to serious complications (hearing loss, brain damage etc.), even fatal. Overall, immunization rates show improvement in Europe, as well as the percentage of children who receive the first dose of the vaccine reached an average of 95%, while the second dose 90%. On the other hand, however, growing pockets of resistance to vaccination, particularly in certain countries, where more and more parents refuse to vaccinate their children, usually for fear of the alleged side effects, despite scientific assurances that vaccines are safe and effective. In Italy, p.x. the Movement of the Five-Star hotel, <U+03C3><U+03C5><U+03B3><U+03BA><U+03C5>ß<U+03B5><U+03C1><U+03BD><U+03AC>, has publicly expressed doubts about the safety of certain vaccines and has recently spoken out against the mandatory vaccination. Last year, according to the BBC and the agency Reuters, over 90% of cases in Europe were recorded in ten countries, with first -and by far - the Ukraine (53.218), followed by Serbia (5.076), Israel (2.919 – the country is included in european statistics), France (2.913), Italy (2.517), Russia (2.256), Georgia (2.203), Greece (2.193), Albania (1.466) and Romania (1.087). Taking into account the population, the Ukraine also had the highest proportion of cases of measles with 1.209 incidents per one million inhabitants, an increase of ten times compared to 2017. The rise is attributed mainly to the fact that in the last few years, because of the conflict with Russia, it decreased dramatically to only 31% in the rate of vaccination, one of the lowest in the world, although more recently it recovered again to around 90%. The WHO hopes that the increase of cases in Europe will prove to be transient, although the current vaccination coverage does not seem high enough, in order to prevent the circulation of the virus in several countries. ""The picture for 2018 makes it clear that the current rate of progress, in terms of increased rates of immunisation, will be insufficient to stop the transmission of measles.

"617","The measles virus resets the immune system Like the aids virus, but the sooner, the measles virus attacks the immune system, according to a study published in Science Thursday. The sick are almost as vulnerable to the pathogen as a new-born, reinforcing the usefulness of the vaccination. Public health professionals had previously observed that the vaccination campaigns against measles were lower infant mortality total. But the researchers were not sure of the biological mechanisms. A team of Harvard researchers, of the medical Institute Howard Hughes and the Erasmus university in the netherlands analyzed the blood of 77 Dutch infants infected with measles during the epidemic that struck the country in 2013: their blood had been taken before the infection, and then again two months after. The researchers used a tool developed in the United States and it is called VirScan, which identifies all of the virus that has infected previously a person, and that the immune system remembers: HIV, flu, herpes, and hundreds of other viruses. When the body encounters a virus, it creates antibodies that remain and protect from infections in the future: it is the ""memory"" immune. The analyses showed that the measles eliminated between 11 and 73% of protective antibodies in children. The measles ""reset your immune system and return you to a more naive state"", explains to the AFP, the epidemiologist Michael Mina, of Harvard, co-author of the study. To return to a high level of antibodies and rebuild their defenses, ""they need to be reinfected by pathogens, such as new-born babies, which take a lot of risks in the first years of their life,"" says Michael Mina. Unlike HIV, the immune defenses are weakened much more quickly, and they are also rebuilding more quickly, says the researcher. The study, supported by tests on macaques, and by another analysis, published Thursday in Science, Immunology, shows that the danger of measles exceeds the only risk related to infection. ""The virus is far more deleterious than we thought, which makes the vaccine more valuable,"" says Stephen Elledge, a geneticist who has developed with colleagues a tool VirScan.",0,"belgium"

The announcement was made in scientific magazines ScienceI munology and Science and have created a great sensation, as well as mention that after the measles, the antibodies of the children decreased from 11% to 73%.

The immune system creates memory cells that remain in blood circulation allowing the body to quickly recognize and eliminate infections with which it has been faced in the past.

This new record – the most recent was dated 2014, with 667 cases during all of the year – occurs on a background of a growing movement of anti-vaccination: parents opposed to vaccination of their children, invoke exemptions religious that exist in most american States to circumvent the requirements of immunization in the schools. The american authorities are trying to combat the reluctance, stressing the importance of vaccinating children against a disease that can lead to complications with consequences potentially fatal. “The measles vaccines are part of medical products studied in the more background we have, and their safety has been established for years”, stressed Wednesday to the u.s. secretary of Health Alex Azar, in a press release confirming the new record. He announced a wide-ranging national campaign for next week, “to reinforce the message that vaccines are safe and effective way to” protect families. 22 american States affected – According to figures published Wednesday by Unicef, the United States is among the developed countries, the one with the most children not vaccinated against the disease, followed by France and the United Kingdom. The number of children under one year who have not received a first dose of vaccine over the period 2010-2017 in the United States amounted to 2.59 million, compared to 608.000 in France and 527.000 in the United Kingdom, this study indicates to the agency of the united nations for the protection of children, which is based on figures from the world Health Organization (WHO). If 22 States in the u.s. are affected by the resurgence of this highly contagious disease, the pockets, the most important are located in the States of New York and Washington, according to the CDC, the official body of american health care. The State of New York is by far the most affected, with two main pockets, New York city (390 cases registered at the date to Wednesday) and in the county of Rockland, in the vast outskirts of new york city (199 cases at the April 22nd). In these two pockets, which have a large jewish population orthodox, the local authorities have declared a state of sanitary emergency for the hardest hit neighbourhoods, imposing constraints to the immunization for people without medical waiver, the strict control of the certificates of immunization in the schools, and fines to violators. Measles is in full resurgence this year across the world: the cases reported have been multiplied by four in the first quarter of 2019, compared to the same period in 2018, stated in mid-April, the world health Organization (WHO). In total, in the world, some 169 million children under the age of one year – or 21.1 million of children per year – had not received the first dose of vaccine over the period 2010-2017, said Unicef. Nigeria (4 million unvaccinated children), India (2.9 million), Pakistan and Indonesia are the countries with the largest number of children who are not immunized. “The basis for the epidemics of measles, as we know them today have been asked several years ago,” pointed out Henrietta Fore, the executive director of Unicef, as quoted in a press release. “If we really want to stop the spread of this dangerous disease, and preventable, it is necessary to vaccinate all children, in countries rich and poor alike”, she added.",0,"france"

According to the ARS, the coverage is insufficient to halt the epidemic. 1. What are the characteristics of this virus? This acute infection is due to a virus from the same family as the one who gives the mumps (paramyxovirus). Man is the only reservoir of the virus known. Apart from epidemics, the virus is still nestled at the bottom of the body of a ""carrier"" is not healthy who does not know it. It is a virus that does not like the heat, (he died in thirty minutes when it is exposed to a temperature greater than 60 degrees) and which is destroyed by alcohol 70%. 2. How is measles normal ? It is a soap opera that lasts for at least 4 weeks. Let us imagine that a virus enters the body by breathing in contaminated droplets. First there is the incubation phase, multiplication of the virus, which lasts on average 12 days. No symptoms at all. Then the invasion begins. It lasts 4 days. But the situation is changing for the patient. It was first a high fever, which is the body's response to the virus. His nose is running, he coughs ",0,"france"

Most of the fatal cases involve children under the age of five years who have not been vaccinated against measles, said the WHO, a situation that its director general has called a""collective failure"". ""The fact that children die of a preventable disease by vaccination is frankly a scandal and a collective failure in the protection of the most vulnerable children in the world,"" said Tedros Adhanom Ghebreysus. According to the WHO report, the picture for 2019 is even more dark, with provisional data adopted in November, indicating a three-fold increase in cases compared to the same period last year. Highly contagious viral disease, measles can lead to life-threatening complications. Two doses of the vaccine are needed to protect children against the virus. The WHO and the united Nations Fund for children (Unicef) indicated that only 86% of the children in the world have received last year the first dose of the vaccine through a national vaccination program, and less than 70% of them have received the second dose. The United States has identified more than 1,400 cases of measles since the beginning of the year, the number of cases is unprecedented in more than a quarter of a century. In the eyes of health officials in u.s., the growth of the epidemic has been fuelled by the refusal of parents to let their children vaccinated because, according to them, that the components of the vaccines can cause autism or other disorders, in spite of the denials of science.

Volti ****** Christelle Nil for Donbass-Insider With nearly 57 000 persons being diagnosed with measles since the beginning of the year 2019, the Ukraine had risen to second place worldwide among the countries most affected by the epidemic. The figures were disclosed by the press service of the Ukrainian ministry of Health. ""In total, 56 out of 861 individuals, of whom 26 748 adults and 30 113 children have received a diagnosis of measles in Ukraine in 2019. Eighteen deaths were recorded. In total, 117 000 people have fallen ill from a measles outbreak in the summer of 2017 "", says the press service. According to the ministry of Health, 287 people, including 127 children, were diagnosed with measles during the first week of August. Most cases have been reported in Kiev and in the regions of Vinnitsa, Chernovtsy, Kiev and Khmelnitsky. With numbers like that, the Ukraine is just behind Madagascar (see the figures of the World Health Organization), in the second place worldwide among the countries most affected by measles ! In march 2019, the Ukraine was even at the head of the list of countries with the rate of measles is highest. If we look at the evolution of the numbers, you realize that the Ukraine has never known such an epidemic in its history since the country is independent. And the situation only worsened since 2017. And this is not a party to improve. In fact, there is nothing that during the first seven months of 2019, Ukraine has registered more cases of measles in its territory than in all the year 2018, which itself was much worse than 2017. With such a score, the Ukraine post-Maidan has become the main source of infection of measles within Europe, contaminating its neighbours, such as Poland, and counting only half the number of cases for the whole of Europe ! Given the extent of the infection, the Ukrainian ministry of Health has called for the compulsory vaccination of children and adults, and recalled that unvaccinated children could not attend schools and child care centres. Yet according to the WHO data, the rate of vaccination in Ukraine is up in 2018 to 90 % after having fallen to 31 % in 2016. And, despite this, the epidemic continues its expansion year by year. So what is it that explains this mismanagement ? There are apparently several reasons : 1) A non-compliance of the cold chain, which causes a deterioration of the vaccines, and are therefore less effective. People think to be vaccinated, but are not in reality. Hence the fact that there are many adults among the people contaminated. A situation that still persists today. And in 2018 the Ukrainian ministry of Health, which was investigating a peak of the outbreak of measles in a region has found that sick children had been vaccinated in a clinic that regularly suffers from power cuts and no generator backup ! However, the vaccine should be stored below 8 °C in order to be effective. The children had received a vaccine rendered ineffective by lack of refrigeration due to power outages ! 2) The development in the population of a strong mistrust of vaccines, following several scandals health involving them. Result people are less vaccinate themselves and their children. 3) Resulting from the previous point, a number of parents who are do so by their doctor (for money) a false certificate of immunization for their child can go to daycare or school without actually being vaccinated. UNICEF estimates that approximately 30 % of the certificates of vaccination in Ukraine are fake ! Combining all of this, the share of persons properly and actually vaccinated should not exceed one-half of the population. Here is how explains this discrepancy between the vaccination rates displayed by the WHO and the constant increase in the number of measles cases in Ukraine. The figures are disconnected from reality ! It is here that one sees the importance of having figures which reflect more closely the reality on the ground, and eradicate the corruption which gangrene the country at all levels. In Ukraine, corruption is as endemic as measles, and the first is in part responsible for the expansion of the second ! Add to this that the country is somalise at great speed, that he might suffer from serious problems of energy supply as early as next year (due to termination of the contract of transit of Russian gas), and that its health system has been undermined by the austerity measures imposed after the Maidan, and you have the perfect cocktail for a health disaster.

To replicate and spread, viruses need to protect and to multiply the copies of their genome. The measles virus uses for this suprastructures specific, "" the "" nucleocapsids "". These consist of a large number of copies of the same protein that covers the molecule bearing the genetic information of the virus. The researchers from the CEA Irig (IBS) have developed experimental methods to encapsidate a specific sequence of RNA (ribonucleic acid, a component of the genome of this virus) in vitro, and allow to study the structural mechanics to work with the cryo-electron microscopy.

The second vaccine, the Stiko explicitly not a refresher of the first, can already be made four weeks after the first vaccination between the ages of 15 and 23 months. According to this two-fold vaccination, 93 to 99 percent of the people are according to RKI your life-long immune against infection. One hundred percent protection there was, however, never emphasizes the Stiko. Adults born after 1970 should check according to the recommendations of their vaccination status and in case of doubt, once immunize leave. Because you usually only get a syringe at the time, experts thought it was sufficient. In the elderly, it is assumed that most of them have the measles already. There is also a single vaccine? Although the Bundestag has adopted a mandatory vaccination only against measles, de facto, creates a mandatory vaccination against measles, Mumps and rubella, and in some cases chicken pox. Because the vaccine is immunized with the Combination, which is also the recommendation of the Stiko. A so-called mono-vaccine that acts only against measles, according to the Association of Research-based pharmaceutical companies (vfa) is not available. ""The combination vaccines are developed, the number of injections keep in children as low as possible,"" says vfa-speaker: Dr. Rolf Hömke. Also, the current decision of the Bundestag will change anything, confirm with the vaccine manufacturers GlaxoSmithKline and MSD. A mono vaccine will not give it in the future.

According to the world health organization, the number of measles has diseases in Europe in the past year tripled. The Federal government is therefore examining a bill for the introduction of vaccination against measles. SchwäPo employee Jette Meadow spoke with the Chairman of the circle, medical profession, Rainer ridge, about the plans of the CDU and the SPD. Why suffer so many people to measles? Rainer Gräter: There are still many parents that don't vaccinate their children. In addition, the measles are not to be brought in from abroad, where the Vaccination is widespread. In a case in Freiburg has infected the Patient, for example, during a family celebration in Switzerland in non-vaccinated guests. Fortunately, a relatively large number of people are vaccinated, otherwise would spread the disease even faster. The introduction of vaccination against measles is a sensible measure? The medal has two sides: on the one Hand, it is our duty to protect them from diseases like the measles, which is why it would be right that everyone can be a vaccination to perform. On the other hand, is a free decision, which must each be individually let. To note that individual freedom would be paternalistic. Therefore, the vaccination from my point of view is only the last Alternative. The duty in reality is feasible in the first place? Most of the people are vaccinated anyway. However, there are patients who are generally against it. This must be achieved offered, with advice. Sanctions would also be a possibility: kindergartens and schools, asking, for example, that the children must be vaccinated, if you want to be included. The insurance companies cover the cost, and vaccination is a part of the usual screening in children. Therefore, I urge everyone to have the vaccination volunteer.",0,"germany"

A vaccination now, is it? Berlin (dpa) - After a fever, cough and runny nose the characteristic red skin rash follows. In the face of a re-clustering of measles cases in Germany a new debate on the introduction of a vaccination is begun. It is very concerned about the increase in infectious disease, said the Federal Ministry of health. The coalition government is considering a compulsory vaccination for children.

Outbreaks are not uncommon in large cities and Metropolitan areas. The extremely contagious measles, the end of the Virus is transmitted through droplets and has an easy game, where many people reside in a confined space. Why is measles so dangerous? When Infected, the immune system is weakened, it can lead to complications such as middle ear and lung inflammation. A causal therapy does not exist. It is not a harmless children's disease, stresses the glass-makers. ""We see 1000 Patients a death in the family."" Jacob mask, a Berlin spokesman for the professional Association of child and youth doctors, adds: ""In the case of infants, one of 300 sick children even die."" Sometimes the disease results only after years of death, such as in the measles-encephalitis SSPE - those who get it in infancy from measles, is particularly at risk. How prevalent are measles vaccination in children in Germany? According to RKI, all the länder in the school entrance examination, in the meantime, Coverage of at least 95 percent for the first vaccination against measles, Mumps and rubella. A need for improvement there, but in the case of the second vaccination, which aims to extend the Vaccination. It was a Problem that children were often vaccinated too late, says glass-maker. ""But the main problem are the young adults."" A vaccination think the RKI in front of this Background, currently ""is rather counterproductive and harmful"". Where does the Impflücke in young adults? In the case of people who were born after 1970, often missing the second measles vaccination, because this was not provided for in their Childhood. Later on, you will not be rescheduled, often out of ignorance or sloppiness. Here, the Coverage is according to the RKI at only 30 percent. Infected adults can infect small children or infants that are not (yet) vaccinated. Why Balk some parents against the Vaccination? From the point of view of children's doctors false information is a reason for that. ""Many parents are confused by untruths on the Internet and in other media,"" says mask. After consultations by specialist doctors, the parents were reassured of the rule and had their children vaccinated, so controversial experience. ""But until that happens, it takes valuable time, in which the children are not protected."" A measles vaccination is always spoken of again. Why was it not introduced before? The introduction is a question of political will, but also with complicated legal aspects attached to it. In preparation for the Bundestag of experts in 2016, wrote that a mandatory vaccination could be the only diseases with a high ""risk of a fatal course to the life or health of the children"" to prevail. In 1959, for example, a vaccination against smallpox as a Constitution has been determined in accordance with, in the face of a mortality rate of 30 percent.

Also, you said in the Newspapers of the editorial network Germany (RND) from Saturday for a vaccination in day-care centres, but “first of all, the legal basis at the Federal level would have to be created”. Klepsch referred to the legal claim on a kindergarten place, which is not currently subject to conditions. Measles are extremely contagious and potentially deadly. The disease occurs in Germany and other Western countries again. This is mainly due to the fact that a part of the population, vaccines are increasingly distrusted. In addition to the acute disease may occur as a late consequence of measles disease, inflammation of the brain. All of the patients affected die from it.

In the face of a re-clustering of measles cases in Germany a new debate on the introduction of a vaccination is begun. It is very concerned about the increase in infectious disease, said the Federal Ministry of health on Monday. The coalition government is considering a compulsory vaccination for children. Where are measles spread currently? 2019 there were in Germany, so far, 170 measles-diseases, many Westphalia, in North Rhine-Westphalia. The number of cases varies greatly from year to year, sometimes there were several Thousand diseases. ""We don't come with the Elimination of so right ahead,"" said Susanne Glasmacher, spokeswoman for the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) in Berlin, where the reports from the States to run together. Outbreaks are not uncommon in large cities and Metropolitan areas. The extremely contagious measles, the end of the Virus is transmitted through droplets and has an easy game, where many people reside in a confined space. Why is measles so dangerous? When Infected, the immune system is weakened, it can lead to complications such as middle ear and lung inflammation. A causal therapy does not exist. It is not a harmless children's disease, stresses the glass-makers. ""We see 1000 Patients a death in the family."" Jacob mask, a Berlin spokesman for the professional Association of child and youth doctors, adds: ""In the case of infants, one of 300 sick children even die."" Sometimes the disease results only after years of death, such as in the measles-encephalitis SSPE - those who get it in infancy from measles, is particularly at risk. How prevalent are measles vaccination in children in Germany? According to RKI, all the länder in the school entrance examination, in the meantime, Coverage of at least 95 percent for the first vaccination against measles, Mumps and rubella. A need for improvement there, but in the case of the second vaccination, which aims to extend the Vaccination. It was a Problem that children were often vaccinated too late, says glass-maker. ""But the main problem are the young adults."" A vaccination think the RKI in front of this Background, currently ""is rather counterproductive and harmful"". Where does the Impflücke in young adults? In the case of people who were born after 1970, often missing the second measles vaccination, because this was not provided for in their Childhood. Later on, you will not be rescheduled, often out of ignorance or sloppiness. Here, the Coverage is according to the RKI at only 30 percent. Infected adults can infect small children or infants that are not (yet) vaccinated. Why Balk some parents against the Vaccination? From the point of view of children's doctors false information is a reason for that. ""Many parents are confused by untruths on the Internet and in other media,"" says mask. After consultations by specialist doctors, the parents were reassured of the rule and had their children vaccinated, so controversial experience. ""But until that happens, it takes valuable time, in which the children are not protected."" A measles vaccination is always spoken of again. Why was it not introduced before? The introduction is a question of political will, but also with complicated legal aspects attached to it. In preparation for the Bundestag of experts in 2016, wrote that a mandatory vaccination could be the only diseases with a high ""risk of a fatal course to the life or health of the children"" to prevail. In 1959, for example, a vaccination against smallpox as a Constitution has been determined in accordance with, in the face of a mortality rate of 30 percent. After the extinction of the obligation has been lifted. Since when is vaccinated against measles? The first vaccine was licensed in 1967 in Germany. In the GDR was introduced in 1970, a compulsory vaccination, the Federal Republic of the vaccination from 1974, recommended.

""Unfortunately, we had to exclude current children to visit a kindergarten, as in the case of suspected contact with a measles patient who has no adequate Vaccine was available."" Two kindergartens in the Rhine-Neckar-circle, were affected, the Deputy Director of Andreas Welker added. There were two suspected cases of measles, which were not yet confirmed.

Measles-diseases are usually with a high fever, runny nose, conjunctivitis and cough. After a few days it comes to a reddish-brown rash. Measles viruses have the ability to weaken the immune system. This can lead to a result of infections, for example otitis media, meningitis, or pneumonia. Particularly hard measles in infants and people with underlying diseases.

The evidence can be provided by the certificate of vaccination or, in the event that a child has already had measles, and accordingly immune to re-infection by a medical certificate. Children who are already looked after now, in day-care centres or schools, must have the vaccination up to 31. July 2021 to demonstrate. Why a measles vaccination? The world health organization (WHO) has already issued many years ago, the goal of measles globally. Because even if they are still belittled always happy as a childhood disease – measles is a highly contagious infectious disease, serious complications and in rare cases can be fatal are. In developing countries they belong to, according to the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) of the ten most common infectious diseases with a high proportion of deadly curves. In Germany have been reported this year already 500 cases. However, the vaccination rates are according to the RKI in Germany is too low to eradicate the disease. While 97.1 percent of the school beginners are vaccinated once, at the necessary second vaccination, the rate is at 93 percent – needed at least 95 percent would be. Medical Association calls for mandatory for all the recommended vaccinations, Federal health Minister Jens Spahn said, the measles would have taken in the view, also because they are by droplet infection is very easily transferable – significantly more than the flu or other diseases. He put but to the fact ""that the visit to the doctor, by the conversation over-Vaccinate at the same time, the willingness to grow, to can also be used against other diseases vaccination"". The professional Association of child and youth doctors (BVKJ) is behind the mandatory vaccination for measles – it is not only the. ""We thought it important that there is a duty for all of the recommended vaccinations,"" says Jacob, a mask, a pediatrician and BVKJ speaker. The immunization against whooping cough, diphtheria or polio is around. What are the recommendations and how well the vaccination works? The Standing Committee on vaccination (Stiko) recommends the first inoculation at the age of eleven to 14 months, however, it can be administered from the age of nine months – for example, if the child is in a community facility or had contact to a measles sick people. The second vaccine, the Stiko explicitly not a refresher of the first, can already be made four weeks after the first vaccination between the ages of 15 and 23 months. According to this two-fold vaccination, 93 to 99 percent of the people are according to RKI your life-long immune against infection. One hundred percent protection there was, however, never emphasizes the Stiko. Adults born after 1970 should check according to the recommendations of their vaccination status and in case of doubt, once immunize leave. Because you usually only get a syringe at the time, experts thought it was sufficient. In the elderly, it is assumed that most of them have the measles already. There is also a single vaccine? Although the Bundestag has adopted a mandatory vaccination only against measles, de facto, creates a mandatory vaccination against measles, Mumps and rubella, and in some cases chicken pox. Because the vaccine is immunized with the Combination, which is also the recommendation of the Stiko. A so-called mono-vaccine that acts only against measles, according to the Association of Research-based pharmaceutical companies (vfa) is not available. ""The combination vaccines are developed, the number of injections keep in children as low as possible,"" says vfa-speaker: Dr. Rolf Hömke. Also, the current decision of the Bundestag will change anything, confirm with the vaccine manufacturers GlaxoSmithKline and MSD. A mono vaccine will not give it in the future. What are the concerns against vaccination? The Federal Association of Evangelical day facilities criticized that the main responsibility will be placed in the hands of the facilities and the day-to-lines. The hazardous to the basis of trust between nursery and parents. You are requested to transfer the due diligence of the public health service. Medical concerns, the children's doctors. You are worried by the focus on measles, the vaccination rates for other diseases. ""We know from other countries, in which there are Impfpflichten against individual diseases,"" says mask. ""It would be a disaster if, now, the vaccination rates for diphtheria, or whooping cough, would in this country fall.""",0,"germany"
"4479","Measles disease is not only due to its direct complications such as measles encephalitis dangerous. Measles viruses can damage the entire immune system-so much so that the affected children will have in the next few years, an increased risk for other infectious diseases. Immune memory massively disrupted Even if it is say opponents again and again: measles viruses are not harmless at all, and can do far greater damage than a skin rash with itching. Only the well - known acute complications, such as the lungs there is a risk of brain inflammation. Researchers have now found out that measles weakens the immune system in the long term significantly. Thus, the analysis of the blood samples of 77 measles children showed that the measles virus in lymphocytes in addition to the B - and T-many other cell types of the immune system affected, and bring to the death. Particularly strong is the memory of the cells were affected, so the cells that are sensitized to an Antigen and subsequent contact for a quick defensive reaction to worry about. Also, antibodies are not eliminated, However, the measles virus destroy the cells of the immune system. They also make short process with the in the blood circulating antibodies. 2 months after the measles infection had disappeared in the blood of children up to 73% of the originally existing and against the various pathogen-directed antibody. This means that the affected children were protected against these pathogens for a period of 2 to 3 years, less good. Infection with measles viruses, therefore promotes the immune defense, as opponents claim. Instead, the measles virus weakens the immune system, rate the researchers their results. Although it builds over the years, again anti-body. In the meantime, diseases can be significantly harder. Hundreds of thousands of deaths should go to the authors of the study, according to the account of the measles-weakened immune system. Vaccination protects against measles and immune to The vaccine itself weakness leaves no such immune weakness. On the contrary, it provides by the prevention of measles infection that Maserviren not be able to exercise your immune debilitating influence in the first place. Children with measles could benefit from the vaccination yet, speculate the researchers. Because, possibly, the long-term could impact on the immune system by vaccination during the disease mitigate.

This is a real danger. Only through a high vaccination rate, the so-called stove is achieved immunity, by then, people are protected, the immune suppressed, or to young for a vaccination. Who leaves so his children are not vaccinated endangers not only their own children but also other people. This can result in the case of measles, even death, of a of 1,000 measles cases is still fatal. The measles deaths in the Ukraine have reminded us recently that. Impfverweigerer Impfschmarotzer beyond the own responsibility. Therefore, mandatory requirements must be made to the Vaccination. As the Free Democrats, we are committed already for 2017 for the enforcement of a General mandatory vaccination for children up to 14 years. This measure can permanently save people's lives. In the North Rhine-Westphalian Federal state budget 2019 200,000 euros have been set as in the previous year for vaccinations, including Awareness-raising activities. In particular, a country-wide campaign should be supported to increase the vaccination rates, as well as outreach and low-threshold vaccination campaigns.“ Source: FDP parliamentary group NRW",0,"germany"
"4522","Hundreds of people have fallen ill in Germany in the last weeks of measles. In order to eradicate the disease, should be vaccinated 95 percent - the best in the toddler age. But Germany is far away, according to a new study. However, there are large regional differences. Christian Baars, NDR ""There are too few children are vaccinated"", says Maike Schulz. She works at the Central research Institute of ambulatory health care in Germany. The Institute has for the first time, examined whether small children in Germany are adequately vaccinated against measles, as recommended by the Standing Committee on vaccination (STIKO). The result: less than 40 percent of the small children this is not the case. Tens of thousands of small children are not according to the STIKO-Recommendation-protected. The German standing vaccination Committee in their recommendation to the world health organization (WHO). Children should be vaccinated two Times against the measles first of all, between the ages of eleven and 14 months and a second Time between 15 and 23 months. The target Coverage of 95 per cent - then the disease could be eradicated. Of which Germany is far but obviously far. Especially for small children, measles can have threatening consequences. It can cause inflammation of the complications such as the Brain. No protection without a second Dose of the vaccine, Schulz and her colleague have for the study doctor anonymous practices data from more than 550,000 children evaluated who were born in 2008. About 70 percent of them have received, as of the STIKO recommended up to the age of 14 months, a measles vaccination, and a further 15 per cent, a little too late. Nearly 86 percent of the children have been up to their second birthday at least Once vaccinated. ""Actually, that's not so bad,"" says Schulz. However, many parents seem to forget the second vaccination or delay it. However, it is important that children receive both vaccinations, says Schulz. ""Because up to five percent of the first vaccination isn't working. These children are not protected, if you don't get a second."" On the left, Even if one applies the standards is less stringent than the STIKO and only looks at whether the children have ever received regardless of the time - two measles vaccinations, the rate is still significantly below the WHO target. About 60 percent of toddlers have gotten up to their second birthday, the two spraying - in of the STIKO recommended time window, but only 37 percent. Growing Impfskepsis for mothers and Doctors to be A cause for the low rate the author, see the study in the growing Impfskepsis. It is widely used, especially in the ""bourgeois Milieu"", says Schulz. The more high-skilled mothers in a circle of life, the lower the probability that children be vaccinated is. A influence also impfkritische Doctors, naturopaths and homeopaths seem to have. If you are represented in a Region, decreases the Coverage. In Erftstadt near Cologne, had to stay recently a Waldorf school closed after several students of measles sufferers. Only a quarter of the students was able to demonstrate a Vaccination. Large regional differences in vaccination Coverage, The study shows significant regional differences. At the very rear of some circles in Bavaria: about Garmisch-Partenkirchen and Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen. Only about one in every third child has received two measles vaccinations by the second birthday. Much better it looks in the Rhein-Kreis Neuss (NRW) and in Sonneberg (Thuringia). Since the vaccination Coverage is close to 80 percent. At the level of the länder of Baden-Württemberg, Berlin and Bremen cut in addition to Bayern bad. A special case of Saxony. There are other recommendations apply, a lot of children get the second dose much later. At the age of two years, the vaccination Coverage is, therefore, in Saxony, at just 22 percent, in Chemnitz, only six per cent. Disease in young children is especially dangerous for the Lack of a cross in the certificate of vaccination: children need two Times to the doctor. So far, the Coverage has been verified only in the case of the school entrance examination. Since Germany was not bad - just slightly below the WHO recommendation. In 2011, nationwide produce approximately 92 percent of the children of the two required vaccinations, but also with significant Differences between the countries. Many of the children receive two measles vaccinations before they come to school. However, this is too late. Tens of thousands of small children months, according to the current study - or for years is not protected. ""And just day-care centres are a perfect source of infection,"" says Schulz. Measles are highly contagious, can be used to treat you you. Small children are affected with inflammation in addition, the most frequently from complications such as the Brain. Up to three of every thousand children who become infected, die of measles. Often even severe damage as paralysis remain. Measles - an underestimated disease the measles are spread worldwide. In Africa you belong to the ten most common infectious diseases. Worldwide, around 140,000 people die each year from measles. The disease is highly contagious. It is transmitted by droplet infection. Ill get to about ten to twelve days, fever, cough, and runny nose, sometimes arthralgia. A little later a red, blotchy rash appears. In one out of 1000 cases, it comes to an inflammation of the brain, similar to frequently the disease leads in Germany to the death. Dangerous weakening of the immune system, which can last up to six weeks after infection, is also. The consequences can be inflammation of bacterial infections such as Bronchitis or middle ear. Very rarely there are also cases of late complications. You can even occur years later, and lead to disorders and failures in the nervous system and finally death. Against measles, there is no effective drug. Vaccination offers a very good protection. Protection for other children, there is Also the risk of a late effect, the so-called SSPE exists. This inflammation of the brain typically occurs years after the acute disease and is always fatal. The University of Würzburg and the Bavarian state Department of health released this week a new study. Accordingly, about 30 are affected-times as many people of SSPE as previously assumed. Up to a 3300-infected children in the late follow to join. In June, died in North Rhine-Westphalia, a 14-year-old Boy in mind. The measles vaccination is safe. Serious consequences are extremely rare. Relatively often, it may lead to side effects such as redness or swelling at the injection site, sometimes a slight fever, headache or gastrointestinal complaints. Up to five percent of so-called vaccination-measles get a mild Form of the disease that is not contagious. That too few toddlers are vaccinated, shows the recent measles outbreaks. In the first half of 2013, more than 1000 cases have been reported, most of them in Bavaria (478) and Berlin (400), where the vaccination rates are low. Schulz calls, therefore, for a better education. ""It not only protects your own children with a vaccination, but also others, which are, for example, is still too small for a vaccination.""",0,"germany"

In the case of schools the exclusion is not possible, because there is compulsory education is applicable. The fines in the amount of up to 2500 euros should be made by the health authorities.

"4595","The more parents against the Vaccination, the higher the health risk for children who are too young for protection. How can one protect his child anyway? When Jessica's daughter was nine months old, were brought to the Two during a child's doctor's visit, suddenly from the General waiting area to another room. The reason: A measles-infected child had come into the practice. ""We were allowed to leave the room again until everything is well ventilated and was disinfected,"" says Jessica. An experience that has shaped the young mother: ""Alone, the feeling is to know someone with the measles, and my child has no protection, horrible. I've searched my daughter after that day, afraid you would have been infected."" That didn't happen luckily. Today, the Little 18 months old already vaccinated and actually old enough for Kindergarten, but Jessica still wants to wait, because she soon gets her second child. Until the new Baby is vaccinated, would they take any risk. ""The Baby could be infected anywhere that I am aware of. But the risk that we come to Kindergarten with measles is in contact, is just too big."" So as Jessica is also other mothers and fathers of small children who are still too young for the first measles vaccination. In Germany, by default, between the 11. and 14. Month of life given. In the meantime, some parents do not go with their babies to the toddler group and shun friends, with young in - School or kindergarten age. Also, who walks with his child in the toddler group is often thought. Are exaggerated these Concerns? The main carriers are older children, adolescents, and adults Yes, said the Berlin-based pediatrician Dr. Martin Terhardt. Because in contrast to other countries, the number of measles cases in Germany had declined in recent years and is currently at a relatively low level. Nevertheless, he can understand the concern of parents like Jessica, because the disease is highly contagious: ""measles is among the most contagious diseases ever. It is assumed that the presence in a room is enough to infect, so it needs no droplet contact. There are studies that have shown that of 100 people, 95 of the plug. This is not the case for other diseases."" You must stay in a closed room. To match Jessica's experience with her little daughter, he holds surgeries for the place where the most contagious happen at the junctions. During a larger outbreak, as it was in Berlin in the year 2015, one should avoid unvaccinated small children, public transport, and especially the U-Bahn. Back then, you would have seen that the introduction of measles is done mostly by adults and not by children: ""to Spread the disease primarily among older children, older youth and adults. And at that time he was placed children in children's medical practices for young people."" More: 300% more measles infections in the world, you Should prefer to vaccinations? During major outbreaks, the measles vaccination may be preferable to some. ""The vaccines are tested and in Germany and Europe allowed at least nine months,"" says pediatrician Terhardt. In addition to working in his Berlin-based practice, the children's doctor is since 2011 also a member of the standing Committee on vaccination (StIKo) in Germany for the elaboration of the recommendations to be responsible. ""We vaccinate according to the German registration, but there are a number of developing countries, in which only the measles vaccine, not the [in common] combination drug, is given from six months. For children worldwide, there is practically no experience."" The younger the child at the time of vaccination, the higher the risk that a possibly undetected immune deficiency is but it is. For such children, vaccination against measles would be dangerous, because it is a live vaccine with attenuated virus. And still another point speaking against the vaccination of very young children: the nest protect. This first immunity consists of the maternal antibodies that gets the child through the placenta. So it is protected during the first few months after the birth from infection. ""Would you vaccinate, for example, during a measles of children between six and nine months, outbreak, what is in Germany, outside of the admission, you could not be sure that the vaccine provides any additional protection. The maternal antibodies may block the vaccine,"" says Terhardt. Comment: For a Impfrecht of the children - Not against their parents in The nest protection will be weaker This lend-immunity, the small children, protects against diseases, but what they once was. The culprit is the measles vaccination has, paradoxically. Because vaccinated mothers pass on an average much less antibodies to their children than mothers who actually had the measles. Those who have had neither measles nor been vaccinated may be partially doesn't protect you more. ""This is a big Problem and also the reason why we currently have a relatively large number of cases in which even small children get,"" says the pediatrician. There is, therefore, in the StIKo Considerations, to push the first vaccination date of 11 months, a little to the front. A possibility of Jessica for her second child is quite the interesting find: ""I would let the Baby then early to vaccinate, if it were possible. You would like to visit, however, like to classes or groups, in which, for example, older siblings are."" More: No school without measles vaccination is The most effective protection is a high Impfabdeckung If it ever comes to a bringing forward the date, but according to Terhardt still completely open: ""This is not really a judgment, because we have to check very carefully all of the literature on evidence-before we recommend something population. So far we are not there yet."" For parents of small children to be in the Public feel safe one of the more important: Everyone who is old and healthy enough to be vaccinated, should be vaccinated. This is especially true for women who want to become pregnant. ""These women should definitely check your vaccination certificate with your wife's doctor, or your gynecologist to compel people to talk about the fact that the measles Vaccination refreshed or needs to be tested. In the pregnancy it is too late. You need to make before pregnancy. Woman doctors with in the boat!"" The Same also applies to all other Doctors. Vaccinations should be a priority. In addition to children, also in adults, gaps that urgently need to be closed. Until the middle of August, there were, according to the Robert Koch Institute in Germany, 392 measles cases. Only 25 of these cases involved children under one year. Martin Terhardt recommends young parents to stay relaxed: ""We have a disease Germany does not have a high number of measles."" During an outbreak, but you should be more careful and to be with small children, for example, before the children's visit to the doctor and a separate waiting room, ask to sign up.

On the other hand, is a free decision, which must each be individually let. To note that individual freedom would be paternalistic. Therefore, the vaccination from my point of view is only the last Alternative. The duty in reality is feasible in the first place? Most of the people are vaccinated anyway. However, there are patients who are generally against it. This must be achieved offered, with advice. Sanctions would also be a possibility: kindergartens and schools, asking, for example, that the children must be vaccinated, if you want to be included.

In the case of the primary vaccination course, you must twice vaccinated. The first vaccination should be at the babies in the eleventh to 14. Month and the second dose at 15 to life. to 23.

The Patient must beware of up to 14 days at the bed. Initially, the body reacts after a ten day incubation period with fever and cough, and watery runny nose. A few days later, a fever follows, finally, to rise, and there is a rash all over the body, which usually begins behind the ears. How must you do if you suspected to be the measles disease?

In the ideal case, the doctor comes home, so that the infection of a third party is prevented. You just can not go with suspected measles in a hospital? First of all, in any case, because of the risk that patients of the clinic may be plugged in. From the point of view of Prof. Eiffert, the family doctors should decide on the treatment. You will consult, if necessary, a clinic. How to go to the göttingen University medicine, and other hospitals with measles patients? It is in such cases a Pension Plan.

"4677","After a measles infection the immune system is weakened for months dramatically – against all pathogens. Why this is so, researchers can now show for the first time. The ""Reset"" of the immune system clears the disease memory of the body. Fatal after-effect: After a measles infection the immune system is weakened for months dramatically – against all pathogens. The reason is that The measles virus to decimate the memory cells of the immune system and delete so that the immune memory, as two groups of researchers in the journal ""Science reports. Pathogens are no longer detected and the immune protection from previous vaccinations is partially lifted. The measles are not a harmless childhood disease: After all, 100,000 people worldwide die according to the WHO, every year at this high virus infectious infection. In addition, severe cases may lead to inflammation of the brain, in the case of mental disabilities. Although there is already an effective vaccine against the measles, but it is precisely in the industrialized countries, which Here grows – with fatal consequences. In Europe alone, there were thus, in the first half of 2018, more than 40,000 measles cases and also in Germany, the measles cases. More susceptible to other pathogens But not only that: time and again, physicians have observed that measles patients after their recovery remarkably often other infections – even such diseases against which they were vaccinated. Apparently, a measles infection affected the immune system is sustainable – but why? This question is now investigated two groups of researchers – a Michael Mina of the Harvard Medical School in Boston and a second to Velislava Petrova from the Wellcome Sanger Institute in Cambridge. For their study, both Teams evaluated the blood samples of 77 Dutch school children, who had lives 2013 a measles infection. The first blood sample was taken from in front of the disease and the second of up to two months afterwards. For comparison of blood were, in addition, samples of measles-vaccinated and unvaccinated, non-diseased children used. Mina and his Team investigated using a test procedure called VirScan, which and how many antibodies against various viruses and bacteria in the blood of the children were present. Such specific antibodies created by the immune system after a previous contact with a pathogen or by vaccination. Sustainable decimated antibody is The result: After the measles infection, the children had lost a large part of this specific antibody. In your blood, between eleven and 73 percent less found of these defense molecules. However, this means that The body of these children now can not fight even previously known pathogens effectively, the immune system has gaps. In a complementary Experiment with macaques, the researchers found that this weakening of the defence to continue for five months after the measles infection yet, at least. This explains why measles patients even after their recovery more prone to infections: ""Our immunity against pathogens is comparable with a collection of posters of the most wanted Criminals,"" says Mina. ""But then someone rips holes in the photos and makes it difficult to identify the Criminals yet."" In this case, the measles virus has been responsible, apparently, for the immune system, this information about the known enemies to be lost. Deleted immune memory But how? The mechanism behind this has revealed the second team of researchers Velislava Petrova. They had carried out genetic analyses of memory B cells from the blood samples of the children. These immune cells storing the characteristics of known pathogens, and control the production of the appropriate antibody. The analysis revealed: The measles virus destroy the specific pathogen-influenced B-cells. In addition, they stimulate the growth of new, naive memory cells. ""So we can see for the first Time that the measles reset the immune system of a quasi – on the stage of an infant,"" says Co-author Colin Russell of the University of Amsterdam. By the Deletion of defence information, the measles virus cause a ""immunological amnesia"". The immune protection provided by earlier vaccinations will be lost itself, for example, against the flu again. Measles vaccination protects double ""The measles virus is, therefore, far more harmful than we understood,"" says co-author Stephen Elledge of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute in Boston. It is all the more important to vaccinate children against the measles. Because the studies showed In children that were vaccinated with the common MMR vaccine against measles, remained antibodies and memory cells to be intact – it even increased after vaccination are more likely. ""Our study has great public health significance, because it shows that the measles vaccination only protects against the measles virus, but also against other infectious diseases,"" says Russell. According to estimates from the researchers, an area could not prevent the coverage of measles vaccination, therefore, only the 100,000 annual measles deaths, but also hundreds of thousands more deaths, the long-lasting were immune causes weakness.

However, as the County health Department and the concerned look, the kindergartens. Our newspaper asked in Wildeshausen. According to medical officer Dr. Leonard Hamschmidt from the health Department of the district of Oldenburg, there were 2018 at least one case of measles in the district of Oldenburg. ""The Shameful is that we in Germany and Europe, there is no adequate vaccination coverage rate,"" says Hamschmidt. So it would need a rate of 95 percent, to protect those who cannot be vaccinated – such as infants. While 97.1 per cent, had been vaccinated once, as the Robert Koch Institute announced that the necessary second Dose of the vaccine would, however, receive only 93 per cent. Also in the district of Oldenburg, the percentage is 93 percent of those who have received the second vaccination, says Hamschmidt. ""It is not sufficient for herd protection."" Therefore, the health advocates office for a vaccination. A legal Problem, The head of the Protestant kindergarten shooting Star in Wildeshausen, Simone Hartmann, sees the vaccination, however, a legal Problem: ""I can't exclude the children, because the right to education and participation is about the vaccination. I believe there is a legal contradiction.“ Basically, Hartmann is for the vaccination compulsory, but it will be difficult to implement it. For some years, it is necessary that parents let their kids vaccinated, of a vaccination advice with regard to a doctor, and this with a certificate to prove. How good this advice is, do not understand the head, however. In the Evangelical Kindergarten children who have not received vaccination. ""Once a contagious disease is there, I need to call the parents of the children and ask them to pick up their children and leave home,"" says Hartmann.

Very important is the Department head considers the enlightenment: ""As parents, allow your child to not vaccinate, also have reasons, there are perhaps Fears."" The parents should be better informed, ""and then it should be considered whether there is a need for legal regulation"", finds Manietta.

Until about half a century, measles was widespread in almost the entire world, the number of cases of disease and was relatively consistent and high, the researchers write in order to Bartosz Lisowski from the Jagiellonian University Medical College in Cracow (Kraków). With the introduction of the measles vaccine - in the 1960s and 1970s in the Western world, and since 2000, in many of the developing countries had decreased, the number of cases significantly. In 1980, 2.6 million people died of the virus disease, in 2011 there were less than 90,000. In the meantime, the eradication of measles even seemed possible. Today, this goal had receded into the distant future, according to the researchers. A reason for this: In many European countries, the proportion of vaccinated children spent today at 95 percent - the Rate that is deemed necessary to stop the spread of the virus in a group. The sun to the growing number of people that vaccinations are unnecessary or even harmful kept. For another, a wars or refugee movements have led to the fact that children can not be vaccinated before seen. What are the consequences this could have for the spread of the measles Virus, and studied the Team to Lisowski is now in the Dutch Bible belt, approximately 200 kilometers long and several kilometers wide corridor that stretches from Middelburg in the southwest of Zwolle in the East of the country. There are about 250,000 to strictly reformed Dutch life, primarily in about 30 medium-sized cities. A part of these people considered vaccination as it is not natural and rejects you because of that. The majority - it is estimated that about 60 percent of children be vaccinated yet. Since the introduction of vaccination programmes in the Netherlands in the year 1976 to the year 2016, according to the researchers three times to a measles outbreak in the Bible belt that lasted for about a year and approximately 2500 people affected. The distance between the eruptions - the last of the 2013/14 was held fraud for twelve years. Before the introduction of vaccination programmes, the Virus has been spread within the religious community as well as in the Rest of the country, explain the researchers. The number of diseases was approximately constant. I have changed the Situation: The number of unvaccinated people was only among the Protestants is high enough that the Virus found enough new ""victims"" to be in the group to spread, especially among school children at the age of about ten years. The periodic appearance of the measles is generally worse than a permanent spread of the Virus, according to the researchers. Those who have survived the disease, are life-long immune - you can't fall ill again. Who is not diseased but as a child, is the next outbreak with some probability, already in adulthood. The measles lost in the higher age often severe, the researchers write. In fact, to be ill in the three outbreaks in the Bible belt, increasingly more adults, the number of hospital admissions had increased. What happens in the Bible belt, is perhaps an example of what the threat in the future elsewhere. So, there have been 2015 a measles outbreak with 1243 cases registered in Berlin. He had been fired from two sources: on the one hand by children of parents that vaccinations decline",0,"germany"
"4707","Nationwide is currently being discussed on a possible mandatory vaccination in the fight against measles. In Hesse, the Minister of health, Kai Klose (Alliance 90/The Greens) does not preclude such a measure, although, in the short term, he wants to enforce but, above all, vaccination card checks and better education. In the fight against the viral disease of measles and the debate over a nation-wide vaccination rages on for some time. At the beginning of the month, Federal Minister of health, Jens Spahn, presented a draft law, the fines and a day-care centre exclusion provides, should refuse parents to let their child against measles should be vaccinated. After the Greens in the Bundestag have to give up their initial resistance to the mandatory vaccination, calls, in Hesse, Thorsten Schäfer-Gümbel, Chairman of the HessenSPD and the SPD parliamentary group in the Hessian Landtag, Minister of health, Kai Klose (Alliance 90/The Greens), to follow this example. ""The black-green state government and, in particular, the green Minister of health, Higuain must now give up their opposition to the vaccination: Where is the government? It is right and necessary that a measles vaccination is the binding condition for the reception of children in day-care centres,“ says Schäfer - Gümbel. The proof of sufficient protection for the activity in care facilities for children, schools and nursing care facilities is necessary. ""I call on the black-green state government, rapidly the Initiative of the Federal Minister of health Spahn for the vaccination to be connected. A tactical Position is unacceptable.“ The parliamentary group of the Greens under the Hessian SPD in false claims. The SPD wool to give the impression, as Jürgen Frömmrich, Parliamentary Manager of the Greens, that the Greens block the discussion, with all parties, the Federal government and the governments of all the provinces had ""agreed that the Vaccination of the population needs to be further improved. ""Who can be vaccinated protects you and others from diseases. In the case of serious and contagious diseases, in addition to the individual protection also to the protection of the General public“, so Frömmrich. The only question that had to be resolved was how to reach an improvement on the best. Health Minister Klose said last week that he was categorically against compulsory vaccination: ""There is no reason for a vaccination to resist."" It is important, however, that a corresponding law, and possible measures with the basic law are compatible. In the context it was criticized several times in recent weeks by various experts and politicians that a vaccination by the basic law protected the right to bodily integrity under the grave. Klose also said that the implementation of such a law would take too long, acted had to be now. Therefore, it is set in the state of Hesse in the short term, on vaccination controls, and better education. Compared to Hessian children are vaccinated is slightly above average, according to Klose, the rate was among adolescents and young adults is much too low.",0,"germany"

In this age group, we are the vaccination rates are very satisfied. The WHO target is to reach 95% with two doses. The Problem with us was in front of 15 to 25 years, as the Impfbereitschaft was low – in part because the vaccinations since the 1970s, considerably fewer measles infections occurred. The rarer outbreaks, many of the Unvaccinated did not get infected in a natural way, which we have today, many for the Virus to susceptible adolescents and young adults. Currently, this age group is very mobile and thus promotes the spread of the Virus during an outbreak. A major goal is therefore to close this Impflücke. In addition, it has used as with other vaccinations once long years, until the high vaccination rates were achieved, and the second Dose of the vaccine was introduced only in 1991. What is the role Fears play prior to vaccination, and how you can take the parents this? Loading... © with frdl. Gen. Ole Wichmann (neck), Ole Wichmann is the head of the subject area Impfprävention at the Robert Koch-Institute and lecturer at the Charité in Berlin. We have not interviewed in 2006 in North Rhine-Westphalia in the framework of a major outbreak of parents, why children are vaccinated. Usually the answer was, that it was forgotten. There are, of course, people who have concerns about potential side effects. But this is the minority, I think. The data on the efficacy and safety of the Vaccine, the measles and vaccination, Rubella is so good that you can actually clear up in the conversation between the doctor and the parents ' concerns. We have over 40 years of experience with the vaccine. What has caused great uncertainty for lay people, was a study that described a connection between vaccination and autism. This study has now been pulled from the Lancet – the Journal that had published. She was not only scientifically questionable, but there was also a conflict of interests of the author. But the rumors about circulating, of course, still on the Internet, although there have been several large-scale studies that prove the opposite. Apart from health aspects, and vaccination strategies. What are the risks of the current outbreaks to the population? There are groups for measles infection is especially dangerous? Among the complications of a measles infection of the lungs, middle ear, and even brain inflammation. Also in Germany, a 1000 disease runs, on average, by the Virus is fatal. Especially for a severe course in infants at risk are under one year and persons with a weakened immune system. There is also a higher risk for complications in adults than in children. But above all, it can be just for very young babies to severe and fatal brain disease, subacute sclerosing Panencephalitis, for short SSPE. And babies under one year can not be vaccinated. You are, therefore, dependent in special measure to the fact that the population has been vaccinated around you. Because then you are protected by the so-called herd effect also. What the Individual can do to protect himself and his family, if it came in his environment already to a measles outbreak? You can still vaccinate – even up to three days later, after they had knowing contact with an infected Person. The incubation period for measles is about 10 to 14 days, so that the immune overtake the protection provided by the vaccination, the Outbreak of the disease yet. The longer you wait, the less Chance there is that the vaccine still uses of course. But even when it comes to a disease outbreak, can be mitigated of course. I can therefore advise only to check their own Vaccination. Those who received two vaccinations, is considered to be protected. The Vaccination lasts a lifetime. Who had only one or no vaccination and also not with certainty can say that he has made a measles infection, should go to the doctor and get vaccinated. I would do so.

"4734","Eat. There are parents who want their kids vaccinated. The concerns of this minority is not human understandable, rational but. Measles, Mumps, rubella, flu: the fate of the question of vaccination It was only a couple of weeks, because Jutta was Behrwind nationwide headlines: The daycare Director had introduced in their ""box"" in Essen-Huttrop, the vaccination for new applications – just as four other facilities. The Amazing thing is that this was considered exceptional. Who leads in front of the eyes, as in former time the mass infections of people have cost to Thousands of lives or left them with life-long damage, such as in the case of Polio, should understand the meaning of vaccination quickly. But there is a Problem... The Problem is: All of this has been so long that today's generation of parents, not their grandparents, has witnessed an epidemic. That is why almost every mother and nearly every father or other parent is not, or only partially vaccinate want to let your children know today. Is tricky also, in the event of a divorce, if the parents argue: vaccine I, or vaccine I can't? This often ends up in court. Thus, the Federal court in 2017 (Az: XII ZB 157/16) found that, of those parents may decide, following the recommendations of the Permanent Impfkommision (STIKO). Say: Who wants to be vaccinated is right! ""The greatest possible safety for the young child"" Impfkritische parents succumb to is often a perception of error: Because so many children have become thanks to vaccination, even sick, do you think of the diseases no or only small risk. A Mistake. For Jutta Behrwind, however, the idea of disease prevention was at the top: ""Our goal has always been, the greatest possible safety for the young child that can not yet be vaccinated."" Day-Care Centre Director Jutta Behrwind. Photo: Kerstin Kokoska Of the often cited Here of the population in the Rhine, Ruhr and Lenne nothing to find. Hans-Henning Karbach, head of health of the city of Oberhausen, is satisfied with the current Figures: ""If we make it to the measles vaccination, we have a vaccination coverage rate of 94.5 percent, based on the use of two measles vaccinations, from which only the protection unfolds in full effect."" The first vaccination will receive even a higher percentage – but a good three percent think, with the first part of it should be done. The advantage of the high vaccination Coverage: Here is the so-called ""herd immunity"" comes into action. This means: If connecting a single Unvaccinated with measles, will not spread the disease like an epidemic, because one has to do in General, just with people who are also vaccinated. So the spread is contained. Only two measles cases in the year 2016 In the year 2016, remembers Karbach, there was in Oberhausen, Germany, two cases of measles that originated in both the world of good. Otherwise, the paragraph was in past years, is equal to Zero.

Both there is, however, one must differentiate here. Side effects are quite common, but harmless. It can cause redness and swelling, fever, and languor. Serious Reactions occur extremely rarely, here, it has been found a rate of 0.0001%. That is to say: In one of a Million cases of vaccine damage occur. ""The probability of developing a disease due to vaccination, is much less than in the course of life to be by such a dangerous Virus infected,"" says Karbach. The overwhelming majority of vaccinations, Some of the concerns, know the medical officer of health, have long since been refuted: ""In the case of measles, Mumps, and rubella is a idea that by this vaccination, the autism risk increases."" This is based on a single, demonstrably false study from the year 1998. She claims to be persistent, because it reads just fine. For Karbach – how for the overwhelming majority of more than 99 percent of the physicians and scientists – clearly, there is a positive effect between vaccination and health. The smallpox virus are exterminated today in nature, the Poliovirus, which causes polio is on the verge of. For Karbach clear: ""You can make a very clear connection between the time of vaccination and the decline of the disease. And it is clear: Vaccinate significantly more, as it can damage helps.“ >>> ""Polio is cruel"" - A look at the vaccination history, You might imagine it today, barely, but the outbreak of a simple infectious disease like smallpox has cost in previous centuries, regularly, hundreds of thousands of people.

High vaccination rates in children - gaps in the 20 - to 50-Year-olds In Germany are to children around the 1. Birthday for the first Time and with a bit of distance for a second Time against measles be vaccinated. The Standing Committee on vaccination (STIKO) at the RKI developed vaccination recommendations for all protection. In Germany there is no compulsory vaccination, relies on voluntary participation. Apparently with success: research showed that of the school-96 percent, the first vaccination against measles beginners, 93 percent, also the second, stressed glass-makers. Of measles-free as it calls for the world health organization (WHO), would have to be 95 percent of the total population immune through vaccination or history of disease. Until 1970, when vaccination was introduced, sufferers almost all. ""It was in the Sixties, considerably more than one hundred deaths from measles per year"", says the RKI spokeswoman. After the introduction of vaccination, it took with acceptance. In the case of Birth cohorts in the 1990s, there were large gaps. Today, these younger adults are stuck in measles outbreaks frequently - in addition to the as yet unvaccinated infants and children.

Betsch warns us not to demonize opponents. She has studied why people vaccinations reject. There is a lack of confidence in the safety of the vaccination. Often you do not know, the risk of disease: ""diphtheria was once called the exterminating angel of children', we don't know, because we have never seen such a case."" Vaccination should be offered in more places to more flexible times. And: There is no Impfregister. Who lose the vaccination card, did not know what he was vaccinated. Could convince skeptics of the protection for Weaker, which can not be vaccinated. A comparison had shown that people in the West are more willing to get vaccinated in order to protect the community. In Asian countries, the case is of little weight, because the Impfbereitschaft be higher.

He also criticized Interview in the DW-that the frequency of adverse reactions will not recorded systematically enough. However, he could tell parents the measles vaccine in good conscience, that serious side effects are a very, very rare exception. In contrast to other vaccines, he was highly effective and none of the many parents of defendant's companion-containing materials, such as aluminum or preservatives.

Although the measles outbreak in Berlin was expected to Bosnian asylum-seekers, but: ""He never would have had a big impact, if the population would be sufficiently immunized."" Asylum-seekers are vaccinated in Germany. International visitors to the fair could also be infected. Vice versa applies: ""There were from Germany, the Export of measles in other countries, where there were many deaths - for example, in Bulgaria a few years ago."" The psychologist Cornelia Betsch have experienced, such as the mobility of the vaccine critics can change your mind.

But she knew that it was in the countries from which people come to Europe, Polio outbreaks. Only one in 200 Infected, the disease shows itself.

The authority focuses on health promotion and prevention work. Mrs. Thaiss, they try to convince the Germans of a healthy life style. You can do it? Heidrun Thaiss, If you look at the two big company drugs, nicotine and alcohol, are our successes when Smoking is at least greater than that of the Drink. Smoking society is ostracized by now almost. Occurs when alcohol is also a learning effect? Thaiss: While Smoking, we were able to determine that you need a Mix of measures, to change. The information centre, the youth protection act, the increases in tobacco tax, the Smoking bans in the public space, the dissuasive warnings on cigarette packets, and prevention campaigns such as the BZgA together have contributed to the programmes in the life-worlds of, for example, in schools, to success. Smoking is no longer the young cool. Only 7.4 percent of 12 - to 17-Year-old reaching for a cigarette, a historic low. So a total shift in thinking in society, there is not the alcohol still everywhere. How do you explain that? Thaiss: alcohol is for thousands of years as part of one of a convivial get-together accepted. Many of the rituals, even among young people, are associated with alcohol. Heidrun M. Thaiss directs the Federal centre for health education. Photo: Malte Krudewig / WAZ, And nothing will change? Thaiss: In the alcohol prevention, we need to drill thick boards. With our campaign ""alcohol? Know your Limit“ is not: don't speak, we targeted young people, say Drink! We will provide information about what alcohol the body is doing at growing, and what impact this can have. In particular, in pregnancy and in the road transport of alcohol is fatal. Their Prevention Work Is Bearing Fruit? Thaiss: The consumption of alcohol in adolescents and young adults is on the decline. This is demonstrated by our studies. Ten percent of 12 - to 17-Year-olds drink at least once per week alcohol, in 2004, there were still 21 per cent. 13.5 per cent of young people to have within the last month at least once in a frenzy of drinking, in 2004 it was still at 22.6. Also, since there is a significant decline. Where: boys still drink more intense as a girl. The theme remains a challenge, in every Generation, again and again. How to develop cannabis use? Thaiss: Our representative study results show that Cannabis use has increased among adolescents and young adults in Germany in the past years. Especially the young adult males to hits, of which almost one in four claims to have taken in the past twelve months, at least once Cannabis. This is a development we view with concern. At the same time, an increase in social acceptance. Thaiss: The risks of cannabis use to be underestimated. As a psychoactive substance, Cannabis can impair brain development and lead to serious personality disorders. This is especially true when it is already consumed at a young age on a regular basis. Add to that the danger that many cannabis strains have very high THC concentrations and the damaging effect is potentiated by it. The German life today, yet healthier than in the past? Thaiss: It often depends on the education and financial requirements. The wealthy and educated have, the more healthier it is, as a rule, the life-style. An example: The life expectancy of poorer, socially disadvantaged women is ten years lower than in wealthier men. This presents us with challenges. We, as a Federal Agency want to eventually reach all groups of the population. You used to have as children, worked for a doctor, and the issue of children's health with growing concern. Where are the problems? Thaiss: is There a vaccination is a worrying development. It makes me almost despair. Vaccinations are one of the greatest achievements, in order to prevent serious and fatal diseases. It is a dangerous ignorance about measles prevails today in some Parts of the population, for example. Measles is not a childhood disease, you simply must survive for the benefit of the immune system. The world health organisation has therefore set the goal of measles eradication. For 95 percent of the population must be protected. We have not yet achieved this target in Germany. That should give us pause. Why is measles so dangerous? Thaiss: children who had measles, can develop as a dramatic late consequence of an inflammation of the brain, and while not treatable, and irreversible. In rare cases, measles can be deadly. I don't understand how you can deny a child this vaccination. The recommendations of the Standing Committee on vaccination can be trusted. This panel of experts has been dealing with all vaccines, and makes a public recommendation only after careful consideration. When it comes to vaccinations for the young, show some parents unaware of time, resistant to advice. Thaiss: According to our studies, the great majority of the population is aware of the recommendations. But there is a group that chooses not to inoculate. Some people fear the side effects. I have to say that Every vaccine has side effects. To respond with increased body temperature and swelling of the Skin on a vaccination that is completely normal. This is gradients a mild reaction and not comparable with possible significantly more severe disease when not vaccinated. What are the arguments of leading opponents? Thaiss: The debate about possible vaccine damage, there are still. According to our studies, about a third (29 percent) of the population, fear of side effects. Others see simply no need to have or their children vaccinated. Approximately two to four percent of the population are really tough opponents, who argue ideologically. To penetrate of which we with our educational work. Can you understand their stance? Thaiss: I can understand the attitude. All parents want the Best for their children. But some people have a selective perception, and such as through websites, on which most strongly against vaccinations are warned not to impress. An Argument of the opponents is fatal: A child must be due to a disease without vaccination, because it is the strength of his defenses. Measles and other diseases against which you can vaccinate, but not to compare with the harmless virus infections, which captures a child in the first years of life. Vaccination only against diseases which can cause severe complications. And we should be grateful that we have these vaccines.",0,"germany"

Then he quotes a given: “At the national level, about 30% of the cases of measles that have been reported concerning health care staff is not vaccinated. For this, one is studying a measure that will allow the health care staff is not vaccinated and access to vaccination”. In short, vaccination “is an indispensable tool for not put you at risk of serious consequences, in particular those most vulnerable, in this case pregnant women and newborns.” Last month, a new cry of alarm on the emergency measles – after the exhortations of the past few months – has been launched by Flavia Bustreo, Assistant Director of the world health Organization (Who).

Vaccines, assumptions are only required for measles The Government is thinking of a change in the law Lorenzin: compulsory vaccination may be only for measles. The vaccine for measles, strict in Germany to parents who decide not to vaccinate their children. The minister of health, Jens Spahn, has presented a law proposal that has raised many controversies. The minister of the government of the government, chancellor Merkel, in fact, plans to introduce fines of up to € 2,500 for those who refuse to vaccinate their children. These latter, then, do not come to school until they are in compliance with all vaccinations. The legislation could enter into force by march 2020 as announced to the press the minister of health in germany: The campaigns and the good appeals to the eradication of the disease. And then heavy fine and a ban to go to school for those children who have received doses of the vaccine for the measles due to parents who do not want to hear reasons. Who is in a stubborn and long-lasting refuses, in spite of many invitations in this sense, to fulfill such a duty, should be treated differently from those who simply if it is forgotten. It's like in traffic: when you exceed the speed limit and endanger other people, you pay a fine. The minister hopes that the appeal to vaccinate children can be welcomed, without the need to intervene with the fines. In Germany, the obligation should apply to 600 thousand people, including kindergartens, schools, operators of hospitals and doctors ' offices. The government explains that there are about 361mila children are not protected. And 220 thousand employees health in an analogous situation. Not all, however, agree with the project of the minister.

"7375","Sometimes it is said that in a state of well-being, the human being tends to create problems for itself: an assertion disturbing, that more and more often, unfortunately, finds confirmation in reality. The last alarm is launched by none other than the WHO, the World Health Organization, who for several years now is to handle the growing phenomenon of the antivax. Just WHO, in the past few days, has provided some statistics for worrying about a disease such as measles, in which cases, in 2018, have undergone a remarkable increase compared to the previous year. According to what it learns, it is only in 2018 would be the death well, 140,000 people around the world because of the measles. A number that becomes even more daunting, if you think that the majority of the deaths have been in infants under 5 years of age. What are due to these figures so high, especially when compared to the other years? From the one hand, we find that among the countries most affected, inevitably, there are those in strong underdevelopment. Almost half of the reported cases of measles throughout the world in the period taken into examination, in fact, are located in just five countries, and especially in the democratic Republic of the Congo, who wins this little enviable “golden palm”. Also, the phenomenon of the antivax, as mentioned before, has its own incidence of the two annual doses of vaccine recommended by the WHO for measles, only the first is administered to 86% of the children of the planet.

""Is the herd effect of the vaccination that protects the whole community,"" explains the professor Enzo Raise, for many years at the helm of infectious diseases to Venice and Mestre, In the absence, however, of an adequate number of children and adolescents, the community is less immune, and the virus grows more."" THE RECORD for the VENETIAN and The concentration of cases of measles in the historic city centre was jumped in the eyes, between the data on the spread of this disease which has recently marked an upsurge in Veneto and more generally in Italy. From the beginning of 2019, in the Veneto region have been reported about eighty cases, of which thirty are in the Venetian, the highest number, with another record for the historic centre, which has had two-thirds of the total. Numbers of difficult interpretations? Not at all, explains the infettivologo who knows well the reality of venice: ""most of The cases the venetians insist is between 30 and people over 50. And in the past, the vaccination was not there or was not made in extended mode - allows you Raise -. Now this concentration in the centre of the town is due to the fact that, with few children, he is deprived of the protection effect of the vaccine. If measles is that the ranks of children and adolescents vaccinated, it crashes. But if there are few young, there is less immune protection. For this reason, in the historic center, made mostly of the elderly and adults, the spread of the virus is facilitated"". EFFECT of TOURISM Raise agrees then with the fact that the tourist Venice is able to promote the infection. ""There are countries where the vaccination is widespread, such as the United States. But in France, for example, there have been smaller outbreaks. A couple of years ago, for this, have been accused italians. In reality, things didn't go so well. The fact remains that vaccinations spread also protect the nations as such"". And if in the past, Italy had seen down the rate of child immunization of 80%, today it is back to 95%. The HERD EFFECT, ""Now the situation is very good - stresses, Raise - The 95% constitutes a stopper for the spreading of the measles, with all its complications. Now it has been widely demonstrated that the vaccine of the measles has nothing to do with diseases such as autism, which has genetic basis. A falsehood that science has been permanently eradicated"". While it remains the relevance of the disease.

To emphasize the importance of this practice there is the case of Australia, five years Have passed since Australia has eliminated measles, and this has caused a natural decrease of the antibodies in the individual.

The disease is not now considered 'eliminated' in the United Kingdom, Greece, the Czech Republic and in Albania. For the Who the state of 'eradicated' it is equivalent to an absence of infection and continued for 12 months in a defined geographical area.

The latter is an infectious disease highly contagious disease that affects children, and which can also be deadly, if not made in the appropriate seating vaccination. Then, the countries most at risk of large outbreaks are those who are poor and with less health. Samoa, in fact, has lifted a state of emergency for six weeks, which was put in place following an outbreak of measles that has killed 81 people and infected more than 5,600. The epidemic of measles in Samoa, Only 200,000 people live in the island nation in the south Pacific, and the rates of vaccination are much lower compared to neighbouring countries. As logical to assume, the majority of the victims of the epidemic were babies and small children. The rates of infection have slowed down at the beginning of this month after a vaccination has pushed the rate of immunisation to 95%. According to humanitarian agencies, this is the level required to have “herd immunity” against the disease. Under the emergency order put in place last month, schools were closed, travel and public meetings were limited and the red flags were placed outside the homes of people who had not been vaccinated. In Samoa, the low immunization rates are due in part to the death of two children in 2018. The deaths were mistakenly attributed to vaccination against measles, mumps and rubella (MMR), but in reality were caused by the nurses who mix the vaccine with a muscle relaxant instead of water. But this has raised fears of locals around to vaccines and have been used by activists, anti-vaccination, also known as the “anti-vaxxer”, mistakenly convinced that vaccines are not needed. The well-known anti-vaxxer Edwin Tamasese, has been arrested in Samoa at the beginning of this month, and accused of incitement against an order of the government.",0,"italy"

Italy is one of the areas with high incidence. In particular in the european region cases of measles in the first six months of 2018 have reached record levels. Measles, preventable, also with the vaccine, is an infection usually mild if contracted during childhood but can lead to severe complications and sometimes fatal in the fetus when a woman is not protected becomes ill in the early stages of pregnancy or in the case of congenital rubella syndrome in infants. For the two infectious diseases-there is a reporting obligation to the competent bodies and to facilitate the achievement of high standards of quality in the assessments provided by the World Health Organization, the National Reference Laboratory for measles and rubella coordinates the National Network of Reference Laboratories. Even in this context, Clonit offers itself as partner in the supply to the laboratories for analysis of a new kit for the molecular diagnosis of the two diseases, a unique solution that offers process efficiency and security report, the first of its kind in the industry. The symptoms between the two infectious diseases is similar, and this has led the analysis laboratories to search for the confirmation of measles and rubella in an integrated way, or to rubella infection in cases of suspected measles negative results on the confirmatory test and, vice versa, to test for measles, the cases of suspected rubella negative results. The solution that is presented by Clonit, in the occasion of the National Congress AMCLI provides to discriminate immediately the two infections through a single test, with obvious savings in time and cost than an audit can be carried out with the two tests separate. This is possible thanks to molecular diagnostics because of the positive feedback of the specific RNA highlights the direct presence of the microorganism in the biological material and, therefore, allows a specific diagnosis of the infecting agent with far more rapid compared with the normal microbiological techniques. Clonit has, in addition, there is also a diagnostic kit that is dedicated to the measles, and another dedicated to the rubella for which, through the information obtained by sequencing the RNA, you can “typify” the micro-organism differentiating it immediately and type, and through the Real-Time PCR, you can get a quantitative assay of the micro-organism in order to follow the evolution of therapy and the correct diagnosis.",0,"italy"

Sanctions useless Today, therefore, expires, the extension provided for by the government Count to present to the school offices, the certificates of Asl. The self-certification has no more value. Children 6 to 16 years (elementary, middle two years of high school) remain in the class even if not in rule, the penalty is a penalty fine of 500 euro for the parents. You will have to pay in the current account of the State provided for the fines. But when will the letters of warning? And appeals who is responsible? The mechanism seems to be useless. Missing data In the expectation that the framework is excluded, is defined, starting from the data published today in the Corriere della Sera (percentage of coverage of births in 2016 to twenty-four months) we made the point with Vittorio Demicheli, the epidemiologist coordinator of the table of vaccines to the ministry of Health. What conclusions do you draw about the work done by the Regions? ""It must be recognized that the Regions have made a huge organizational effort. They had to call back 16 generations of children to verify their status of vaccination, we talk about 8 million people. The results are very different. In the new born to the chromium, there was almost everywhere the recovery of the threshold of 95% in all of Italy, a percentage considered yet. For some Regions, the obligation would not have been necessary when they already had good covers. Unfortunately the reality is lagging behind are left behind. The result is a Country with two speeds and these differences become apparent if we examine the data on the trivalent that contains the antimorbillo"" And the results for the measles? ""The average of the coverage is about 90% at the national level. And’ a low threshold, at this level, the virus is still circulating and threatening to trigger epidemics, as a number of people contagiabili too high. Should be more than 95%. Moreover, the percentage of children between 6 and 16 years of age recovered, and is now in good standing with the antimorbillo, is about 40%. It means that those who are not protected may be 800 thousand-one million. Too many"" How is it that the ministry of Health does not have the framework of the percentages of coverage of the 2018? ""The data had to get to the ministry, submitted by the Regions, by 28 February. Need to be processed. In April there is a new important deadline. It is the term to deliver the data to be entered in the national register, the full names of the individual vaccinated. It means that once completed, the registry will give way to the ministry of Health to verify if the covers disclosed is truthful. Some Regions have already informed that will not respect this deadline, and this says a lot about the reliability of the percentages which have notified to the Courier, and were correctly reported"".

Among the communities most affected recently, that of the orthodox jews of New York and New Jersey: generally not vaccinated. Finoratra them: California, Mississippi, and West Virginia have laws that require religious communities to vaccinate children and young people of school age, while in New Jersey and New York are discussing it, be careful not to create cases of religious discrimination. In all this, there is a growing distrust of vaccines: the week, an outpatient clinic of Sacramento, California, has had to write to two hundred families, which hints that they might have been infected by a little girl visited the emergency room and later diagnosed with a high risk of infection.

"7501","From the news of recent months shows how the measles is coming back to threaten the health of the Italian population. According to the data reported on the Epicenter, the portal of epidemiology and public health, Italy from 1 January to 31 October 2018 have been reported 2.368 cases of measles. 90% occurred in the eight regions - Sicily presented, however, the incidence is higher - and the median age is 25 years. Unfortunately, ben 463 cases have occurred in children under the age of 5 years, of which 153 had less than 1 year. There are 8 reported deaths in 2018 and 13 of those counted by January 2017 today. Often you are confused about this disease and the only way to do not about getting the vaccine. We try to free ourselves from doubts and fears unjustified. What is the measles? Measles is an infectious disease caused by a virus of the genus morbillivirus (family of Paramixovidae). Its symptoms are similar to those of a flu: coughing, runny nose, red eyes, and add in the fever, which can also be very high. Subsequently appear small white spots inside the mouth and after 3-4 days, there are the skin rashes of red, typical of the disease. The latter are formed first on the armpits and groin and then spread on the remaining parts of the body. The incubation period of about 10 days, begins when the virus comes into contact with our body and ends with the start of the fever. Measles is extremely contagious: it is necessary to simply be in the same environment as an infected person to have a contract through the dispersion of droplets of infected saliva (via sneezing or coughing). The liquid expelled from the people sick can also infect objects and surfaces, and remain active for hours. Debunk the myths, so Many are the false news spread about measles and its vaccine, information that generate fear, ignorance, and that undermine public health. You read often comments of people that say they have contract the virus from small and which cast doubt on the severity of the disease: we know that in one case out of 1,000 can lead to death, and always in a case of 1,000, due to encephalitis, the consequences of which can be deafness and blindness. Also, anyone who contracts the infection shows, however, even though cured, a strong weakening of the immune system. Is there any treatment for measles? The only defense we have is the vaccine, which consists in the inoculation of the attenuated virus which infects the patient, replicates, but does not cause the disease. This vaccination is one of the safest and most effective, in fact, provides a protection equal to 98% for the entire existence of those who received it. It does not cause autism, as demonstrated in numerous studies about it, but it may has some side effects. Those defined as mild fever, skin rashes and a mild form of measles. Among the severe side effects (with an incidence of approximately one in a million) there is anaphylaxis, a reaction due to hypersensitivity of the patient towards a particular component of the vaccine, a result that the presence of a doctor can manage avoiding hazardous outcomes (which is why, once given the vaccine, we have to stay for a while in the doctor's office). Those who can not get vaccinated? Can be vaccinated against the measles all except children of age less than one year, pregnant women and people with a weakened immune system. Because in Italy there is such a wide spread of the virus? As we have mentioned, in Italy it recorded a wide spread of the virus. Depends on what? He answered this question on the site www.humanitasalute.it Matteo Moro, head of Risk Management in Health care management at the Istituto Clinico Humanitas, ""In the past, before the vaccine of measles was widespread, it was difficult to find adults who were not immunized because almost all of them were infected in the course of childhood, with consequences that, at least in developed countries, are often minor. Currently, however, due to the fact that in the early years in which was spread the measles vaccine (1990-2000) this was not practiced at the totality of the population, we have a part of the young adults and adults that are not immunized, either from the vaccine or from antibodies derived from the normal course of the disease and are infected in an age group that is between 15 and 30 years. The problem is that, in adults, measles manifests itself in a more strong and, compared to the same pathology taken in childhood, can lead to a greater number of serious complications as encephalitis, pneumonia, morbillosa, or other complications pulmonary in nature opportunistic. Especially for those who are already weakened by other factors, measles can be very dangerous: for this reason, those who have opportunities for frequent contact with persons at risk of complications in the event of contagion (for example, those who work in the hospital or in residences for the elderly) should be very careful"".

It is therefore absolutely unacceptable that a health care worker is not protected and therefore does not protect its clients, avoiding to contribute to the spread of infection”. It is also useful to remember that age is not a shield that is valid against the measles, as the average of the healthcare staff affected is around 35 years, compared to an average population of 25. It is clear, then, how at risk of contracting this disease are adults not vaccinated or not you are infected in childhood.

"7529","ROME – The new report from the Epicenter, the service of the Superior Health Institute (ISS) does not leave any doubt: the epidemic of measles continues to rise. On the contrary, the cases continuing to increase. In the last period, in fact, have registered 86 cases, thus leading to 4.087 those detected from the first of January last. Experts remind that in 89% of cases the people affected were not vaccinated, and that 35% had at least one complication. 6% received a single dose of vaccine, i.e. it has not then made the call. The average age of the subjects affected by the disease is 27 years. And are well 277 cases of measles among health care workers. Always in the surveillance period were recorded three deaths. Measles and its complications, measles is often also a cause of the complications, and many of them developed. In the bulletin of the ISS is the law that in 21.3% of cases had diarrhea, keratoconjunctivitis in 12.5%, pneumonia in 10,4%), hepatitis in the 10,9%, severe in 5.9%, respiratory failure in 8.4%, seizures in 0.3%, encephalitis in 0.1%. Of these infected, 22% have had to seek recourse to the Emergency room, and 42% were hospitalized. In the month of July last, the cases registered were 395, compared to 45 in 2016 and 18, 2015. The data therefore show that the infections of measles are on the increase. Danger panencefalite sclerosing subacute disease caused by the virus responsible for measles is a highly contagious. Although rare, the complications from measles can be very serious. Among these, one of the most feared is the panencefalite sclerosing subacute (PESS), which frequently occurs after some years after he contracted the measles. To be affected are typically children and adolescents – and you can even lead to death. It speaks of figures that can get up to 100 deaths for every 100 thousand people. To cause this form of encephalitis is the measles virus that remains within the tissue of the brain in latent form. This virus ‘mutant’ causes an inflammation of the brain, and then a gradual, but continuous, destruction of neurons. This is accompanied by a gliosis (proliferation of glia, or astrocytes in areas of the central nervous system are damaged), and demyelination (a condition caused by the immune system attacks against myelin as occurs in multiple sclerosis). According to estimates by the health authorities in the Usa, the PESS affects 1 child out of 1.380 who have contracted the measles. Vaccinated There is anyone who is against vaccinations and who is not. In any case, experts remind that to avoid the complications from measles, the only weapon is the vaccine. And the fact that it is precisely in these months, the epidemic does not want to stop, according to experts, is a clear sign that there is no herd effect (herd immunity or the immunity of a group) in the population, because they are too few those who are vaccinated. We do not expect that the situation gets out of hand.",0,"italy"
"7530","Measles is a dangerous disease. That is not to be taken in the leg because it can be seriously deadly. It is confirmed by the data of the Who, according to which in 2015 would have died 130 thousand people because of this disease. And even now, in the world, it reaps many of the victims. Therefore, it is important to get vaccinated and in the different age groups. Then not only children. Perhaps also for this aspect in the light of vaccine coverage as measured by the data 2018 prepared by the Directorate general of health prevention, ministry of Health, maintains the obligation because “the main concern is the failure to achieve the target of 95 percent, for vaccination against measles, mumps and rubella in all age groups, despite the trend in the increase”. Therefore, the numbers cause concern, for the current minister. But then I wonder: was the reason the Institute of Health and the former minister Beatrice Lorenzin, when in 2017 you impose, also with strokes of confidence in Parliament, a law - 119 - obliging all children of preschool age to ten vaccines, without which they could not, and still can, attend kindergartens and nursery schools? Had reason to talk about emergency and/or outbreak of measles, being challenged both by the opposition - the Five-Star and the League - both from serious experts who launched appeals and contropiani vaccine, compared to that presented by the government? In the hottest period of the confrontation and the fight, that just two years involving all - public opinion, Parliament, mass-media, the scientific world - was, in fact, presented a counter-document that is based on a 5-points, signed by, among others, Vittorio Demicheli, former Director of the Service Sovrazonale of Epidemiology Seremi Asl-Alexandria, and chosen less than a year ago by the Cricket to guide the Nitag (Group technical advisory on vaccination) within the ministry of Health. Wrote Demicheli, together with other scholars and experts, in the first of the five-point alternative proposal: “to Tackle the urgency, “measles”, aiming at a vaccination coverage of 95 percent, with a temporary introduction of compulsory vaccination in all the local realities that present data cover the lower...”. And again: “...measles is the only disease preventable with a vaccine, which sees in the course of an emergency epidemic (even if you can't talk about “emergency”: the case of the 2017, although unacceptable, did not rise much above those of 2010 and they are still less than those of 2011, years with vaccination coverage antimorbillo higher than the current. To date, the cases are also many less than those notified in 2002 and 2003, not to go back in time)”. In short, there was an emergency. As they screamed, and I didn't the government and all the healthcare institutions of the Country, to try to persuade the italians on the goodness of the law on the obligation. Even if the data reported by the bulletin, the Epicenter of the national Institute of Health, 20 June 2017, spoke of 3.074 cases, 89 percent of whom were not vaccinated. Instead, for today, until June 2019, were recorded to ”only” 1.096 cases of measles. In practice, they have 2000 sick in the least. Yet, the minister Cricket last Wednesday, in front of the Boards together social Affairs of the Chamber of deputies and the Senate, in its report on the activities of his ministry in a year of the settlement, he said literally that it is necessary to “combat the epidemic of measles still in progress”. Epidemic? With a difference so strong in the number of infected compared to 2017? Perhaps the minister Cricket should consult more with Demicheli, to get a better explanation of the difference between urgency and epidemic, emergency, epidemic. Because if he is right, you now, still had more of the former minister Lorenzin, and his team, very wide, of supporters in the world of Health care. And they were wrong all the oppositions. Or was scaremongering two years ago (to convince the italians to support the 119), and is still (to justify the maintenance of a law had to be abolished by the government, yellow-green). And if that is so, as I believe, experience tells me that a good health care policy does not istillando fears are unjustified in the population, but by informing, educating, persuading. guglielmpepe@gmail.com @pepe_guglielmo (Twitter) Written in uncategorized | 12 Comments """,0,"italy"

Also recently, verificti cases of measles in the territory of the province of Rimini, where from December, an ongoing outbreak that, to date, has involved 36 people. Also in Ravenna since the beginning of the year were recorded 8 cases of the disease, apparently not related, nor between them nor to the outbreak of rimini. Public health interventions made in a timely way in the field in Rimini for the containment of the outbreak – said the Ausl – were, however, limited in their effectiveness, “due to the low adhesion of the contacts to be susceptible to measures of prophylaxis vaccination post-exposure, because of beliefs contrary to vaccination (so-called no-vax), a factor that has led over the years to create large pockets of the population that is not protected for this disease.” To increase the number of vaccinated people in the whole of Romagna, the local health authority initiated a campaign of active call to vaccination in adults that, if not already vaccinated and if not immunized in any other way, will be allowed to visit at the outpatient clinic, local health boards of the various territories to be vaccinated free of charge . If the policies of recovery of the vaccine put in place following the regional law of Emilia Romagna and the decree Lorenzin, have involved children of school age and health care workers, significantly increasing the coverage rates for these target, the other hand, remained substantially unchanged, the low coverage rates of young adults. In Italy, in fact, the vaccine antimorbillo is available from 1976, and only since the ’90s, the percentages of coverage have begun to be more significant than protecting children. Here, then, the campaign, extraordinary vaccination antimorbillosa geared to adults. In areas of Forli, Cesena and Ravenna, the Services are sending a letter of invitation to the people born between 1980 and 1989 (starting from the born in 1989) for which it is not in the register of the vaccination, any dose of vaccination antimorbillosa. The letter will contain an illustration of the disease and its complications and the advantages of individual and collective vaccination, as well as, of course, the practical directions for access by reservation CUP. Have so far been sent 650 letters of invitation (250 to Ravenna, and, 200 in Forli, 200 Cesena) In consideration of the characteristics of an outbreak is still active, in the province of Rimini, explains the Ausl – the measurements are slightly different, and more spacious. The outbreak affects mainly individuals between 17 and 20 years, for which invitations will look primarily to these age groups. The Pediatrics Community, in addition to the invitations already sent to you in accordance with recent laws, is sending letters of invitation to all the children not vaccinated, and those who, being included in the age of the obligation, were repeatedly invited but are still defaulting, is for boys between 16 and 18 years of age, that are released from the obligation of vaccination, for a total of 3663 invitation letters two-thirds of which has already been shipped. These letters provide information about the illness and the vaccine, and we invite families to contact the clinics vaccine for children of the Community during normal business hours, without the need of booking. The Service of Public Hygiene, which takes care of the adults, has already sent the first 1700 letters to people with the age above 18 years, starting from those born in 2001. These letters contain an illustration of the disease and instructions for access to the vaccination, that can be free, without appointment, every Wednesday from 9 am to 18 at the headquarters of Rimini in the Service of Public health Via Coriano, or, on days and different locations, on appointment via the booking CUP. The vaccination is free, it is trivalent, that is, protects against measles, mumps and rubella. It consists of two doses of vaccine inoculated intramuscularly, at a distance of at least 4 weeks from each other, and gives a high degree of protection and long-lasting in respect of the three diseases. The previous immunity, natural or vaccination, or for one or more of these diseases is not a contraindication to vaccination. It's worth remembering that measles is usually of course more serious in adults than in children, and the disease can be accompanied by complications such as ear infections, pneumonia, laringotracheobronchiti and encephalitis. Even if very rarely(in 1 case per one hundred thousand), due to the infection morbillosa may develop several years after infection, a panencefalite sclerosing subacute as a result, late of the disease, with a time course very serious . “It is evident – which highlights the dr. Rafaella Angelini, director of the department of public Health of the Ausl Romagna – such as vaccination represents a fundamental defence for the protection of the individual and of the community. In the face of a very difficult situation, in particular in Romagna, so we decided to turn these special measures, with the aim of approaching, as far as possible to the threshold of the so-called ‘immunity, and of the flock’, thanks to which you can also protect those people who, suffering from some diseases, are not in a position to vaccinate and that, in this situation, are greatly at risk”.",0,"italy"

"7982","It was already known that the vaccine against measles does more than just protect you against the virus by itself. Children who have not been vaccinated, to walk more often, have other infections, such as influenza or the common cold. Give the vaccine to the immune system may need a general pick-me-up? No, you write a variety of scientists on Thursday in the journals Science and Science, Immunology, the virus targets the immune system itself. It is clear that the antibodies of these antibodies with which the body is an infection in the world. That turned out to be last year, a Rotterdam-based study of 77 children in the orthodox-protestant families who had not been vaccinated. Shortly before and after the mazelenepidemie of 2013, was on those blood samples, the virus was from 11 to 73% of the antibodies are washed away. And thus, with a large hole cut into the defense that they have in their lives had built up to fight infections. However, the exact mechanism is not clear, said the researchers, Colin Russell, of Amsterdam's UNIVERSITY medical center. Using modern genetic techniques, they were able to see which of the antibodies to go with it. All of the children have lost a large part of the so-called memory cells. These are the immune cells that the body has to be created after the infection, and those that are ready to be the same virus was still wanting to attack. Russell: “But for us, astounded, was the destruction among the so-called naive lymphocytes. They are to infectious agent come in contact. One in ten children were in these primitive cells are completely wiped out.” This enables the body to then do it, you might think. It is time to get over it. Also, who is naive cells to create a process of personal development. Over the years, morphing them so that the immune system is a diverse collection of build and with a new infection features a variety of weapons – all of which is not at all on the pathogen targeted. “If these cells disappear, all the diversity is gone and the child is once again as accessible as a new-born baby. These children will be able to be the diseases to which they have been grafted, such as mumps, or rubella. It will take three to five years before the immune system is that it has been restored.” This is an argument as anyone to be vaccinated against the measles. Russell: “In the Netherlands, the disease burden is not so great. Therefore, the risk of a couple of years old defenseless against infection. But in low-income countries, poor care, and is the virus responsible for deaths. While the vaccine is nearly 100 percent effective, life-long and are absolutely safe and secure, and to this effect, the immune cells do not have it.” See also: The measles virus is back on the road again, And the disease is not as harmless as many people think",0,"netherlands"

Mazeleninfectie will lead to a drastic reduction in the number of the memory cells, as evidenced by the publication in Science in Immunology, in which researchers from Amsterdam, the academic Medical Center and the Wellcome Sanger Instute in Cambridge, took part. The body creates memory cells –a type of white blood cells– after infection and used to have the same disease to cope with. The antibodies, Together with the loss of cells decreases the number of antibodies, with an 11 percent to 73 percent in two months following a mazeleninfectie, fill out a publication in Science. In this study, it worked: researchers at the Erasmus Medical Center in Rotterdam, and the united states, Howard Hughes Medical Institute, Boston, massachusetts. The two effects, that is, the measles virus, the memory of the immune system is affected, which makes children vulnerable, it would be against the diseases to which they had been immune to for years. Some of the children for five years, after a mazeleninfectie signs of a weakening of resistance to see. In vaccinated children, this is not the case at all. ""We have strong evidence that the measles virus, the immune system is destroying,"" says researcher Stephen Elledge of the Howard Hughes institute. For Elledge, the practical implication of the study is clear: ""Vaccineer you're a child."" According to professor Colin Russell, of the city of Amsterdam and the UNIVERSITY allows the measles virus to be a ""reset"" of the immune system in the direction of a new baby. For some children, the effect is just as strong as the powerful immune-suppressing drug, he says. According to him, the results show that the vaccine for measles not only protects against measles but also against other infectious diseases.",0,"netherlands"

"81010","Who is at risk of infection with the measles virus? Dr. Paul Grzesiowski: the Risk of infection is greatest in people who nieszczepione not sick in the past, that is, they nieuodpornione. The resistance can be obtained in two ways - you can be or zaszczepionym and then we produce the resistance against the vaccine virus, at the same time immunity against the virus dzikiemu or zachorowaliśmy measles and then, after the illness we also have a resistance to so-called pozakaźną. The third group of people-newborns and infants who receive antibodies from the mother if she had them. Or is it enough to instill a once in a lifetime that vaccinations need to be repeated to be immune to measles? Each vaccination leaves a trace in immunological memory, it is not that the man who took 30 years ago as sympathetic as people nieszczepiona in General. No, although this stability poszczepienna can be so low that the person vaccinated will be sick, only that this disease has a severe course, as when we do nieuodpornieni. Today, knowledge is stored that is needed for full and long-term stability to take two doses of the vaccine mentioned above 1. year of life. Moreover, a second dose of vaccine should be taken, optimally, to 15. year of life. At the moment because of the situation epidemiologiczną even we speed up this second series of vaccines and January 2019. it will be announced in 6. year of life, still was 10. This repetition of vaccination has two goals: first, it captures the man, who did not respond to the first vaccine - this is normal. 2-3%. population, and secondly, it strengthens the immune memory. Secondary contact with the vaccine, leads to the fact that the cells of immunological memory creates more. How can you get the measles and the rapid spreading of this disease? You can become infected very easily, fairly just a few virus particles to cause disease. We compromised by kropelkowo-air, it a bit another way than only kropelkowa, i.e. can be transmitted and distance. If the road kropelkowej 1.5 to 2 metres from the man kaszlącej road kropelkowo-airbags, and that the virus is so small and light that also moves with the waves of the air, so we can catch from other people who were in the same bus, no need at all to stand. Record the number of people infected from one patient is 200 people. Possible isolation of measles virus is much greater than other germs, and so the first impact of reducing the number of vaccinations, it is the measles. Is one of the most infectious diseases. What are the first symptoms of measles? In the period of hatching of measles, which lasts 2 to 3 weeks, has actually of symptoms. When the virus namnoży in the respiratory tract, because it is, of course, through the respiratory tract, ie the nose and throat, symptoms similar to influenza, i.e., runny nose, cough, may occur inflammation of the conjunctiva, manifested by photophobia. Children then avoid daylight, and it is also the first case, very typical of measles. When someone will notice this symptom in the patient, and haven't had a rash, it should light up yellow light, that it might be measles. After this first phase kataralnej, generalized phase begins when the virus enters the bloodstream, which comes to the individual bodies. Primarily attacks cause allergies and immune cells, as a result of allergies is a rash. There are millions of red punkcików on the skin that are the result of excited lymphocytes with the virus. The measles virus acts a bit like the HIV virus, i.e., destroys immune cells. The result is: first, the weakening of the immune system, and secondly, a rash cytotoxic. Another warning signal should be rash in the mouth. When we see and red dots on soft palate, gums or the Palatine arches, also needs to light up the signal lamp. Corey, maybe it's time to finish, i.e., after about 5-7 days of high fever, enlarged liver, spleen, all these other symptoms. Unfortunately, some people, at the time a very strong attack of the virus, and can cause severe organ damage, for example, multifocal pneumonia, leading quickly to respiratory failure. What other complications after measles? Often appear the virus to other parts of the respiratory system, can occur bronchitis, otitis media or sinusitis. The virus can also cause meningitis odrowe spinal cord and brain, resulting in death. This is the early complications, in addition, there are complications later, that is, the disease has passed, it seems that we are back to health, and by about the second or third week start bacterial infections. This is a sign that the person has a very distorted immune system and develops various bacterial complications such as pneumonia, intestinal inflammation or sepsis that can result in tragedy. There's another little complication is talked about much, namely, subacute sclerosing encephalitis that develops a few decades after the acute illness. The virus enters the brain and there very slowly, but, unfortunately, inexorably destroys the brain tissue and always ends with death. This disease killed every year several dozen people in Poland when there was no measles vaccination. It's a very dramatic disease that occurs as a syndrome of dementia or Alzheimer's disease. In a healthy person, within a few months, developing progressive disability, which can lead to death. How to treat measles? No drugs, measles, remain to us only the drugs that help. Doctors have to watch helplessly as the patient himself fights infection. You can give drip, maintain a breath, but there is no medication that zahamowałyby the development of the virus that does not even have a serum reaction. Chickenpox can with hepatitis of type B we have the so-called serum response, in the case of measles, there is no such drug, which we could support the fight against the disease. If complications arise, the doctors are in a sense helpless. When we can talk about the measles outbreak, and that the threat of an epidemic outbreak in Poland? We have two definitions of an epidemic. One, which takes into account the quantitative questions, that is, for example, there is 100 thousand. the incidence of measles, this condition in Poland is not performed, that is, we cannot speak today about the epidemic, in accordance to numerous diseases. And there are the second definition of an epidemic, which suggests that the appearance of even a small number of cases, but the new or the return of the disease, which was not. This happens now in Poland. Because if we look at the latest data, the Polish, but this year will be 150 or 200 cases, and this is clearly more than in previous years, so we can talk about the growth of disease. Was not the back of the cases over the past 25-30 years. Still happened, in the year 30-40 measles cases, mostly in people niepolskiego origin, that is, for example, it was nieszczepione children from Bulgaria or Romania. And Polish children were not ill at the moment, we have a completely new situation, where the sick Polish children who niezaszczepione. Who is responsible for the spread of the virus, first of all, people, because these nieszczepione Polish in Poland? At the moment, it has changed because in fact, in the past, the main ""suppliers virus"" were people from the South of Europe, i.e. Bulgaria and Romania, at the moment it is equal, it means that people zarażającymi people from other regions of Europe. Of course, if we look at the numbers, basically it will be the people of Ukraine, because there is currently more than 30 thousand. cases of measles, and those people coming to Polish very much. But measles can lead to the Polish population in Greece, Italy or Germany, because there also occur new cases. In Germany happened in the past year, thousands of cases of infection, Italy-5 thousand. It's not small numbers. Measles occurs in many European countries as a recurring epidemic form, because in these countries, many people refuse vaccinations, and diseases arise where there was a decrease in the number of vaccinated people. Can we test his resistance to the measles? Yes, of course. It's not a perfect method, but, of course, repeats itself, we can measure the level of specific antibodies to measles, the so-called IgG, that is, those of the Mature antibodies. Such a study can be done within five days in almost any laboratory. If we have these antibodies quite a lot, there is a chance that we are protected, that does not mean that we can't get sick, but of course, the presence of these antibodies suggests that we have the immune strength that will enable us to be a normal contact with measles to live without disease. If we do not have a sufficient number of antibody – can and should be vaccinated? So, if the level of antibodies is very low, it is necessary to take one dose of the vaccine. But you can also make that every person, who in the past received only one dose of vaccine against measles should be supplemented with stability through the adoption of a second dose - at the present time we have a widely available vaccine associated against measles, rubella and mumps, which is perfect for this purpose.

In the vaccinated children up to the age of 13 months, the increase was 2%, and 1% in the vaccine and the measles, and against the current (C), respectively. Every year, it is evaluated the compliance of the National Program of Vaccination, to check to see if your goals are to be met, and can be observed in 2018 in an “increase in coverage vaccine against the values of the previous year, for all of the vaccines, the doses and of age to be evaluated.” According to the data, all of the vaccines and the doses evaluated up to the age of seven and achieved the target of 95% coverage.

Tomorrow, the 12th of September, the team is made up directly of up to 20 people, will get together and set up a plan of work, including the tasks to be carried out, as well as the goals to be achieved at each stage. The virus is taken up by the mosquito-tiger (genus Aedes), such as the zika or dengue fever, for which, together with the measles virus, and HIV, are just some of the threats to the brain, whether it is to a greater or lesser extent, and targets of this work. Prof. Dr. Michael Brown says the virus, zika causes of microcephaly in fetuses that are in the works, and the closest to our current reality, the measles virus, and HIV-positive, whose main goals do not include a brain, but that, at times, be present in, and cause damage. Measles, in particular, is a concern because it is a succession of outbreaks, due to the current social, anti-vaccination, and there is no drug available on the counter. In our effort to develop a new drug, it is a hope for a hard fight against measles, which it appears to in the future,” he said. But the disease here were more geographically distant from the Uk will begin to come up with all the changes in the climate, and the expansion of the colonies of the mosquito-tiger-to the north and the south of Europe, including the Uk, are under increasing threat of the outbreak of zika, dengue fever, chikungunya, and yellow fever, among others. The virus is transmitted by the same vector (in this case, it's the same type of mosquito, it is possible that co-infection with multiple viruses, it is important to further be able to fight against various kinds of viruses with the same medicine. The researcher acknowledges that the preliminary results have proven that it is possible for certain molecules, which inactivate the virus to reach the brain. “So, there is evidence of the potential to reach the brain, and the potential for inactivating a virus, but it is missing the most important part: to show that all these molecules work and are safe, an infection in the actual, in the animal kingdom. That said it's a simple and fast, but it's not. The set of procedures for the scientific evidence of efficacy and safety (toxicology, favourable-it is time-consuming, and complex.” This is the work of the group led by an MBI, and composed by a team of researchers from the Pompeu Fabra University in Barcelona, and the germany-based company SYNOVO, in an attempt to bring to a successful conclusion. One challenge is that the university has Dr. Michael Brown describes as a “very, very difficult, but very important. Hard to do, because the brain of the fetus are areas that are naturally protected by the body immediately hard up there to get the medications when they are infected. Importantly, because the virus may be present in the brain can cause the neurological damage is irreversible. Most recently, an outbreak of the virus, zika in South America, has led to the birth of a baby with microcephaly. Other viruses, such as dengue fever, measles, and HIV, at times, have consequences for the level of the brain. It is important to get a drug that gives protection against all of these viruses simultaneously. The objective then is to neutralize the virus, or in other words, “remove the ability to infect the cells, thus, making the virus a neutral entity, with no risk. For the patient, this may mean a medicine for the preventive, which protects the infection, or medicine to cure, that is to say, that, inactive the virus already present in the body.",0,"portugal"

With the outbreak of the measles has opened the discussion on the perception of the public on vaccination, which in the Uk is free of charge, but is not obliged to do so. What is the measles? Measles is a highly contagious disease caused by a virus, and the viral infections the most contagious. It is usually spread by direct contact with secretions from the nose or from the throat or from the air. How it manifests itself? It manifests itself by the appearance of small white spots on the oral mucous membrane, about an hour or two before you experience a skin rash, that initially appear on the face. It is true that those who have measles once, you do not have more? Yes. ""Measles is a disease which confers immunity for life. Those who have the disease, you are protected for your entire life,"" he says of the Renaissance, Etelvina roma, tsiganes, voyageurs of the team and is the coordinator of the National Programme on Immunization at the Directorate-general of Health (DGS). Who are you protected from measles? For people who already have the disease and people who have been vaccinated. The main difference is that the people who have the disease will have the disease and those who are vaccinated will contract the disease, but in a way, more gentle, more kind. As the incubation time of the disease? The incubation period can range from seven days to 21 days, the transmission provides four days before and four days after the emergence of the rash (a skin rash). Complications the issue? Measles, which is commonly referred to as an evolution of a benign, but may cause complications such as otitis media, pneumonia, seizures, febrile, and encefalites. It can be very serious and even lead to death. The adults usually have a more severe form of the disease. If you have no symptoms, do not go to the hospital, The Directorate-General for Health (DGS) is a reminder that measles is a highly contagious disease, those who have no symptoms don't need to go to an emergency without connecting to the Line in CHARGE of 24 - 808 24 24 242. Now if you die as a result of the measles? According to data from the World Health Organization (WHO), only in the who European region have died in the past year, more than 35 people. More than 20 thousand cases have been registered in over 50 countries. What is the protection against the measles? Vaccination is the primary measure of protection against measles. The vaccines have managed to even reduce the mortality rate due to measles in almost 80 per cent between 2000 and 2015 at the global level. The WHO estimates that may have been prevented by vaccination, or an increase of 20.3 million people in that period of time. As for the vaccination in the Uk. The measles vaccine is free of charge and is included in the National Program of Vaccination (PNV), which should be given in two doses, one at 12 months and at five years of age. However, it is not required because there are no vaccines that are mandatory in the Uk. It is highly recommended by health officials, doctors and medical staff, and shall be subject to the two doses and the age given in the Immunization Program. Since when is there a vaccine for the measles in the Uk. The vaccination will be held and began in 1973, with a vaccination campaign for children between the ages of one and four years, which was in force until 1977. In 1974, it has been included in the PNV, in an amount and in the 1990s was the introduction of a second dose of the vaccine. What is the level of immunisation in the Uk. Portugal has a high rate of immunization against measles, which is around 95%. Consider this if you are already protected against measles, people who have had the disease, or who have two doses of the vaccine if under the age of 18 years and a dosage when it comes to adults. Anyone who has taken only the first dose of the vaccine, it still has that effect on it. Yes. ""In the light of current knowledge, what we do know is that it's going to stay for a long period of time, but it is actually suffer from a disease, but rather a much more benign,"" said Etelvina Calé. And the baby? They should be vaccinated before age 12 months. In general, it is not. The vaccine should be given from the age of one year; however, in special cases, and for medically necessary, may be administered between six and 12 months. Before one year of age, the immune system of the child is not sufficiently prepared to respond for an extended period of immunity, and the child has to repeat the vaccine at 12 months of age, "" explains Etelvina roma, tsiganes, voyageurs, medical and public health is responsible for the DGS.",0,"portugal"

This is the statement made by the epidemiologist, Irina A., of the department of Public Health in Botoşani city, in the wake of their experiences during the campanilor of the vaccination in the villages of botoşani. Rubbing it with brandy, and the juice of the cabbage to hold in the many communities in the country, the location of the vaccine and the anti-termicelor as prescribed by your doctor.

At the same time, 52 people, most of them babies, have died because of this disease, which manifests itself, among other things, by fever, especially for the big and grave complications, particularly in the case of those who have other chronic health conditions. In this context, Irina A., is a medical epidemiologist in the Division of Public Health in Botoşani, it is proposed that in rural areas, a majority of the population is still using the remedies, old wives against measles, most of them very, very dangerous to the life of a child. The doctor just found out about this practice, even to the villages during the visits to the rural communities in the market. ""I've never met, having a conversation with my parents and doing the surveys in the territory, these traditional approaches of the measles. We all know the chicken pox as ""the disease of the corilor"", and from what they say, those with which I sat down, put the kids in the red, rub it with brandy, and keep them warm,"" says the doctor, According. In addition, the epidemiologists are saying that he was surprised by his parents on measles. Many of them view it as a medical condition is trivial, and I don't go to the doctor. ""I don't very often, I have encountered attitudes like ""so what if you make the measures, it is not a problem, it's a mild illness"". Look at that, the developments in the last period, with almost 13,000 cases and 52 deaths, prove that the disease progresses differently, and may put the issue higher than before,“ adds Irene Agency.

""It gives the child dies, the curechi (n.a.d. - for the cabbage), and the belly a sheet of red,“ says the woman. The methods vary from one village to the next. ""The children are given chi<U+0219>leac (n.a.d. - sour-milk), when you have a temperature. We had to be careful not to catch cold.

Mary in Costesti, we explain what the effect would be the hue of the color. ""Red, pull the pain away from a child,"" she said. At the same time, the old women know that the disease lasts for 9 days.

Epidemiologist Irene A.-PHOTO by Cosmin Zamfirache, In the county of Botosani, there are a lot of registered diseases in children for over 10 years, mostly due to the lack of a vaccine. Some parents don't vaccinate their children out of ignorance and a lack of basic medical knowledge. At the same time, the people of this country do not consider measles a serious disease. ""The only thing we can do is to mobilize our parents to go to the doctors to vaccinate their children. I don't have any other way to prevent the disease. There are parents who skip the second dose of the vaccine, i.e., one that makes it to 5 years of age. Most of the time the parents do not present themselves to the physician of the family,“ says Irina, Ab. The doctors: ""Vaccination is the only method that can save a child from death,"" In the opinion of the experts, to treat them with home remedies in the TWENTY-first century, is a clear evidence of irresponsibility on the part of the parents. ""Unfortunately, these traditions which are perpetuated in the hereafter, so they were in ancient times. There are a number of ways in the rural areas where the parents come in and say that the child has smallpox, which is usually a disease effusive. However, the diagnosis is the right one for you, parents can be confused with allergies to the diseases of the the igneous of our childhood. So, the most important thing that you need to make the parents to be present in the first place to the doctor. It can make an accurate diagnosis, and perhaps to make a difference, to make a differential diagnosis in case of an outbreak”, it draws the attention of the doctor Gindrovel Dumitra, vice-president of the National Society of Family Medicine.

""It's the only way to prevent the occurrence of the epidemic, to save the child from death. The age at which the person is given the vaccine rujeolos may be low, because there is a window of between six and nine months, during which the children lose the protection of the mother and are exposed to it. It's an area where there are many cases for which the only solution is to have them checked out. However, the recommendation in the event of a disease outbreak is to administer a vaccine to a seven-month,” added the doctor in the family, which blames disruptions in the supply of the vaccine.

Most of the victims are children unvaccinated, because the Philippines has suffered a sharp decline in the immunization rate, in part caused by the scandal of Dengvaxia, a vaccine against dengue that was implemented in schools between 2016 and 2017 and which is linked with the death of several children. The manufacturer of the vaccine against dengue fever, the French pharmaceutical Sanofi Pasteur, had to admit in 2017 that entailed adverse effects and that vaccinated people that contracted dengue fever for the first time would suffer much more severe symptoms.

The reminder comes nearly a week after the Ministry of Health recommended to those born between 1970 and 1980 to get this vaccine, now that the World Health Organization has warned of the rise of cases and that several EU countries in which the disease is believed to be eradicated (England, Greece, Albania and Czech Republic) are no longer free. A few months ago, Sacyl approved the calendar of vaccinations throughout the life, which entered into force on the 1st of June and that it already included this possibility. Thus, the Board emphasizes that ""there is no campaign of recruitment of cohorts for vaccination with mmr"", which is the one that is administered to protect measles, rubella and mumps. However, sources of the territorial service of Health pointed out that ""yes we are receiving calls"" on this issue, after the recommendation of the Government. As well, health authorities are taking the opportunity to clarify that any adult who wants to know if you are immunized or not, you can ask your family doctor for that, in the event that you are not, you will be able to administer the vaccine, which is put into two doses with a gap of four weeks between the two. The cohort is defined at those born between 1970 and 1980 because the evolution of measles in Spain makes one think that those who have more than 49 years they have acquired a natural protection against the virus and those who have less than a 38 is supposed to have acquired because the mmr was introduced in the calendar of children in 1981. However, Health stresses that, in case of doubt with regard to whether it is protected or not, you can take advantage of any visit to the gp to be informed and, if necessary, to get vaccinated.

The american continent was declared free of endemic transmission of rubella and congenital rubella syndrome by 2015, and of measles in 2016, after 22 years of efforts and mass vaccination. But the challenge in the coming years, according to the experts, is to prevent the importation and reintroduction of the viruses that cause those diseases, which did not disappear on the planet and are highly contagious. For this, the health ministers of the americas, gathered in the 29th Pan american Sanitary Conference, which concludes Friday, defined a strategy that provides standard mechanisms to respond quickly to the imported cases, among other measures. ""The actions focus on maintaining the population immunity high through vaccination and the strengthening of the surveillance systems to be able to quickly detect the virus of measles and rubella, especially in the face of other diseases with similar symptoms as those caused by the virus Zika and the chikunguna,"" said PAHO in a statement. To maintain elimination, the levels of vaccination coverage of the population should be placed in 95% or more. The PAHO said that in the past five years, the regional coverage with the first dose of vaccine against measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) was between 92% and 94%. But with the second dose, ranged between 70% and 83%. The experts warned about the increase of children susceptible to the disease, but also on the disparities in immunization coverage at the local level, which many times are hidden by the rates regional.

"64212","The measles vaccine increases survival in children due to all causes 13/02/2018 - 7:14 In a study on children in a low-income country/media, recent research in Ghana concluded that the calendar of vaccination against measles can have a profound impact on child survival rates beyond the protection against measles infection. MADRID, 13 (EUROPA PRESS) The findings, published Monday in the journal of open access 'Frontiers in Public Health', suggest that the measles vaccination in the recommended sequence may have been an important contribution to achieving the Millennium Development Goal 4 of reducing child mortality. Measles, along with tuberculosis, diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough and polio, is one of the six ""killer diseases"" for children who are the target of the programs of mass immunization of the World Health Organization (WHO). In addition to protecting against these pathologies, previous evaluations suggest that these routine vaccines may provide other benefits that help to reduce child mortality. Some studies also suggest that the sequence of administration of vaccines might be important. In particular, it was demonstrated that infant mortality was lower when the vaccine against measles came after the third vaccination against diphtheria, tetanus, and pertussis (DTP3), as recommended by WHO, compared with before DTP, or administered along with DTP. The latest study expands on this to see if the mortality from all causes is lower when the immunization most recent of a child is a vaccine against measles. Using data from vaccination and survival of routine to more than 38,000 children during a period of 17 years in the north of Ghana, the scientists evaluated the differences of mortality among children vaccinated against measles after the vaccine DTP3 and those who were not vaccinated against the measles. We evaluated the survival at two time points: within the first 12 months after the initial assessment of vaccination status and up to 5 years of age. A 28 PER CENT SURVIVAL AT one YEAR OF VACCINATION, The researchers found that, compared with children not vaccinated against measles, the survival rates of children vaccinated against measles increased by 28 percent in the first 12 months of follow-up, and 18 percent at five years of age. This effect was still present when the children who had died from measles were excluded from the analysis, indicating that measles vaccine has beneficial effects beyond direct prevention of the measles. ""Evaluations of immunization programmes are generally based on the assumption that the vaccines only protect against specific diseases --says the lead author of the study, Paul Welaga, Research Center of Health, Navrongo in Ghana -. Our new study adds to the growing evidence that, when given in the recommended sequence, the vaccination against measles helps to reduce child mortality through nonspecific effects, too."" The proportion of children in Ghana who received the measles vaccine after the DTP3 has increased from 45 percent in 1996 to 95 percent in 2012. The authors suggest that a better coverage of measles vaccination in the recommended sequence may have contributed to the Millennium Development Goal 4 of reducing child mortality. ""When the children in Ghana are not fully vaccinated, it is usually the vaccination against the measles is missing --says Welaga--. Policy makers must ensure that children are vaccinated against measles after the DTP3 due to the potential benefits of survival"". The study also found a beneficial effect is significantly stronger for the vaccination against measles for children in comparison with girls. Males are not vaccinated with measles had a 69 percent higher risk of dying during a year of follow-up and a mortality rate 43 percent higher when followed up to 5 years of age. For girls, there was little difference. The authors of the study say that the reasons are not clear and recommended future analyses to examine the differential effect of sex in the measles vaccination on mortality from all causes. Welaga says that researchers should consider testing the effects of vaccines against measles and other routine vaccines on mortality from all causes in randomised trials. ""It may be that the infection in measles is eliminated in the near future and, therefore, subtract emphasis on vaccination against measles, but if the beneficial effects of nonspecific of the measles vaccination are positive, we should consider vaccination continues even if you stop the measles,"" he concludes.",0,"spain"

The document, published by the BMC Medicine, indicates that in order to achieve and maintain a successful eradication of the disease in these countries in the medium to long term, it might be necessary to implement more measures of immunization, specific to each country, in addition to applying the current strategies. Measles elimination has been defined as the absence of endemic transmission of the disease in a region or other geographical area for a period of twelve months or more. A team of researchers of the Foundation Bruno Kessler and the Italian University of Bocconi used a computer model to simulate the evolution of immunity to measles between 2018 and 2050 in seven countries: Australia, Ireland, Italy, Singapore, South Korea, United Kingdom and the U.S. The authors focused their analysis on countries that applied as a routine and a program of two doses of vaccine against measles and had a high rate of involvement of primary school children, but with demographics and history of vaccination different. It aimed to evaluate the effect of possible adjustments to the existing strategies of immunization, as well as to estimate the proportion of people who could remain susceptible to measles over time in countries of high income. Projections to 2050 suggest that if the current vaccination policies continue unchanged, the proportion of the population susceptible to contracting the disease just continue to below 7.5 % in Singapore and South Korea, two countries that already had in the past with a large coverage of treatment. In agreement with previous studies, the proportion of inhabitants that do not have immunity -and it is, therefore, of maximum susceptibility has to be 7.5% or lower for measles to be eliminated. In 2018, the percentage of people susceptible to the disease in the countries under study ranged from 3.7% in the United Kingdom to 9.3% in Italy, the only country where the proportion was higher at 7.5 %. The document indicates that in Australia, Ireland, the United Kingdom and the united States, programs routine immunizations need to continually cover more than 95 % of the population to keep the proportion of susceptible individuals below 7.5 % until 2050. ""In recent years, we have seen a resurgence of measles cases, even in countries where, according to the guidelines of the World Health Organization (WHO), the removal should have been already achieved"", said the lead author of the report, Filippo Trentini. This increase is due, she added, ""the levels of vaccination coverage is not optimal"". In Italy, where the rates of incidents of measles are among the highest, governments have made vaccination against this disease is mandatory in children before they start primary school. According to the publication, the authors investigated the potential of this and other policies to strengthen the immunization rates in seven countries high-income. ""Our results suggest that the majority of the countries studied would benefit from the introduction of mandatory vaccination in the school, in addition to current immunization programmes"", noted, for his part, Stefano Merler, another of the authors. Merler added that, ""in particular"", it was found that ""this strategy would allow the United Kingdom, Ireland and the united States reach levels of immunity stable in the coming decades."" This implies, he said, ""that a proportion significantly high in individuals immune to the disease will prevent future outbreaks. To be effective, the vaccination compulsory in the school would have to cover more than 40 % of the population."" In Italy, the fraction of susceptible individuals before 2050 is projected to be 10 %, even if the coverage of the programmes of routine vaccination reaches 100 %, and may be necessary to apply additional strategies aimed at both primary school and to adults in order to achieve the removal.",0,"spain"

However, all these cases are imported or side, and the transmission has been interrupted with ease, which means that Spain is still in a state of elimination of both measles as rubella (has not been noted any case). So, Spain can be considered a country free of endemic transmission of measles from 2016 and rubella from 2015. As well as endorsing the World Health Organization (WHO) in a letter sent to Health care by the Verification Commission for the Elimination of Measles and Rubella in Europe, the body that annually assesses the situation of each country and monitor progress toward elimination. The minister of Health in functions, María Luisa Carcedo, has celebrated these figures, which has been blamed for, among other reasons, high rates of vaccination coverage against these diseases. ""This is a success of the National Health System. That's why, I want to thank the coordination and the high involvement of health professionals in the first place, and also the work done by the autonomous communities"", he said. Equally, he has pointed out the Common Calendar of Vaccination throughout the life, passed in November of 2018, as one of the causes of that Spain remains a country free of measles and rubella, childhood diseases are highly contagious and are experiencing an alarming growth in many countries of Europe and the united States. To check the status of elimination of measles and rubella, the WHO establishes as requirements that the country has a surveillance system of high quality and that has been shown during 3 consecutive years (36 months) that there has been no endemic transmission. It is considered that there is no endemic transmission when the transmission of the virus persists for less than 12 months, or what is the same, when the transmission of the virus is interrupted before a year.

"8462","The third conference on the control and elimination of preventable diseases through vaccination, shared with more than a hundred preventivistas and Public Health experts, the recommendation to vaccinate from the flu to pregnant women. In addition to monitoring the sporadic outbreaks of measles and progress in a vaccination more effective than the mumps. Naomi Lopez-Perea, Pello Latasa, Josefa Mass, Jesus Castilla and José Tuells The meeting, which was convened by the Working Group on Vaccination of the Spanish Society of Epidemiology (SEE), with the support of the Institute of Health Carlos III (ISCiii) and the National School of Health (ENS), updated data on vaccination in the aforementioned pathologies. But we also had to dedicate a table to the reservations that exist for vaccines in Spain, illustrated by the negative fact that two out of every three health care professionals are still not vaccinated. The delegate of the National Centre of Epidemiology, Naomi Lopez-Perea, shared with those present the Strategic Plan for the Elimination of Measles and Rubella in Spain between 2019 and 2024. With recommendations two doses of mmr vaccine for the first of these diseases, in the first and the third-fourth year of the child's life, respectively. In addition to the convenience of vaccinating adults born after 1970. Next to the need for vaccination in the health professionals who work with at-risk population, without the need to perform serology before or after. Requirement that also extended to travelers to endemic areas. However, this expert has detected as a problem, while the vaccination provides good coverage in the first dose, the smaller generalization of the second exposes the population to greater risk of measles. Although the totality of the 19 outbreaks controlled in 2017 and 12 in 2018, had origin citizens of other countries, especially romanians. As head of the Ministry of Health, Consumption and Social Welfare, Pello Latasa considered that the evidence of the vaccination, mumps is not yet closed, as questions remain about its ability of immunity and its specificity, in addition to the spacing of the strains circulating. In spite of which was in favor of a third dose to achieve a greater control of the disease. At another time of the day, Jesus Castilla, a member of the Institute of Public Health of Navarra (CIBERESP), brought a of experience in their autonomous community to know the impact of influenza in the general mortality of the population. From the beginning of join influenza mortality can drive a more effective vaccination. To take into account, he suggested, that the programme of flu vaccination in Spain is aimed to prevent severe cases and deaths. Castile was the flu as a factor prior to pneumonia that lead to failure breath, hospitalization, and death. Behind cardiovascular risks on the way to acute myocardial infarction or stroke result potentially fatal. And as a second factor that accompanies chronic problems that can lead to systemic failures and, in the end, also in hospitalizations not be able to retrieve the patient. The research showed, furthermore, that this mortality, which increases in the cold months of the flu season resulted in 53% of patients who died in hospitals, carriers of the flu virus. With the conclusion also that the flu seems to be related to the 10-20% of the deaths that happen during the months in which you are active, the virus and that may also increase the general mortality in a 2-7%. Although Castile had to admit that the deaths triggered by influenza are very infradiagnosticadas.

Eva Borrás Eva Borrás, sent by the Public Health Agency of Catalonia, complained that in its territory the immunization coverage of pregnant women is low, despite being positive for the influenza virus vaccine for maternal health and the offspring until 6 months of life. To advance in this field, Borrás explained a cross-sectional study with 344 gynecologists and 552 midwives, undertaken between June and September of 2018, which ended with the result of professionals who, when not vaccinated, is because they do not see themselves as a collective that caters to a population at risk, or perceive vaccination as a factor of safety for the patient. Finally, Jenaro Astray, responsible of the Working Group on vaccination of the ESS, described a survey conducted by epidemiologists on the basis of the questions initially directed to parents with children age vaccine. As explained, the result of the items proposed, which was answered by about 350 professionals confirmed the favorable consideration of vaccination, to be known by all, and by their ability to exert influence professional. With the conclusion, for the majority of experts consulted, that the vaccines are effective, safe, and able to avoid preventable diseases, aspects that must be communicated to the population with rigour and transparency.

According to figures from 2018, the disease, very contagious, because is not considered “eradicated” from the United Kingdom, Greece, Czech Republic and Albania. For WHO, the status of “eradication” corresponds to the absence of continuous transmission for 12 months in a geographical area in particular. In the Uk, 953 cases were registered in 2018 (489 from 1 January 2019), 2.193 in Greece (28), 1.466 in Albania (475) and 217 in the Czech Republic (569). “Each one of those countries is an example in which the national coverage of vaccination is extremely high. Therefore, it is not tata of examples of countries with systems (health) particularly weak,” said Kate O'brien, director of the Department of Immunization of the WHO. “I think it is a wake-up call for the whole world: it is not enough to achieve a national coverage high, you need to do that in every community and in every family”, he added. Deadly measles can cause serious complications, sometimes fatal, (37 cases in Europe in the first half and 74 in 2018), and is usually transmitted by direct contact or through the air, infecting the respiratory tract, and then spread throughout the body.

Prior to the universal vaccination of children was introduced in 1971 and joined the measles in the waves of the sea, and in some cases every three to five years, and tens of thousands of cases. The number of deaths was in the early part of the 1900s, several hundred per year. When the universal vaccination has been introduced, decreased the number of infected exponentially. In 1981, it was reported 3540-case basis. At the end of the 1980s, the infection rate is not far from now. In order to eliminate measles from the country, and to prevent the spread of the disease once again is required to be in the range of 90% to 95% of the population has been vaccinated and is immune. By 2016 the overall vaccinationsgraden in Sweden, 97 per cent, but the figure may be lower for specific groups. In Europe, the different vaccinationsgraden, and thus also the mässlingens spread from country to country.

"61213","Measles cases are skyrocketing in Europe and the disease is surging in four countries previously considered to have eliminated it, including the UK, the World Health Organization (WHO) warned Thursday, urging countries to step up vaccination efforts.  “Re-establishment of measles transmission is concerning. If high immunisation coverage is not achieved and sustained in every community, both children and adults will suffer unnecessarily and some will tragically die,” warned Gunter Pfaff, the head of the WHO’s European Regional Verification Commission for Measles and Rubella Elimination.  The WHO said there were 89,994 cases of measles in 48 European countries in the first six months of 2019, more than double the number in the same period in 2018 when there were 44,175 cases, and already more than the 84,462 cases reported for all of 2018.  Based on 2018 data, the disease is no longer considered eliminated in the UK, Greece, the Czech Republic and Albania.  Measles is considered eliminated when there is no endemic disease transmission for 12 months or more in a specific geographic area.  While the disease is highly contagious, it can be entirely prevented through a two-dose vaccine, but the WHO has in recent months sounded the alarm over vaccination rates.  The UK reported 953 cases in 2018 and 489 for the first six months of 2019. In the same periods Greece reported 2,193 and 28 cases, Albania 1,466 and 475, and the Czech Republic 217 and 569.  “Each of these countries are examples that have extremely high national vaccination coverage. So these are not examples of countries that have particularly weak systems,” said Kate O’Brien, director of the WHO’s Immunization Department.  “This is the alarm bell that is ringing around the world: being able to achieve high national coverage is not enough, it has to be achieved in every community, and every family for every child,” she said.  Potentially fatal  Measles is a highly contagious airborne infection causing fever, coughing and rashes. While it can be fatal, with 37 deaths reported in the first half of 2019 compared with 74 in 2018, other complications include blindness and, for pregnant women, miscarriage.  Some 60 percent of patients in Europe in the first half of 2019 were under the age of 19.  Four countries were home to 78 percent of cases in the first six months of 2019: Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Georgia and Russia — 60 percent of which were reported in Ukraine alone.  Meanwhile, Austria and Switzerland were confirmed to have elimination status in 2018, the WHO said.  Measles has been declared eliminated in 35 of the 53 countries in the WHO’s European region for 2018, down from 37 in 2017.  It is considered endemic in 12 countries, including France and Germany. In the latter, vaccination against the disease will become mandatory in March 2020.  According to the WHO, more than 20 million deaths have been prevented around the globe between 2000 and 2016 thanks to measles vaccination.  Worldwide, the number of cases for January 1 to July 31 this year tripled to 364,808, compared with 129,239 during the same seven months last year.  The highest numbers of cases were reported in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Madagascar, and Ukraine. The United States meanwhile registered its highest number of cases in 25 years.  The numbers are especially worrying as nine in 10 cases are believed to go unrecorded worldwide, according to WHO.  O’Brien said that in reality, around 6.7 million deaths each year were linked to measles.  The disease had been officially eliminated in many countries with advanced healthcare systems, with numbers steadily decreasing until 2016 when a resurgence began.  According to the WHO, the reasons for people not being vaccinated vary significantly between communities and countries, with a lack of access to quality healthcare or vaccination services hindering some from getting the jabs, while others may be misinformed about vaccines and the need to vaccinate.  The so-called anti-vax movement — driven by fraudulent claims linking the MMR vaccine against measles, mumps and rubella, to a risk of autism in children — has increasingly gained traction.  Uneven vaccination coverage and gaps and disparities between communities, geographic areas and among age groups has allowed measles to flourish even in countries with high national vaccination rates.  burs-cbw/gab/po/gd",0,"uk"

"61913","Passengers confined to a Church of Scientology cruise ship after a crew member came down with measles could be permitted to disembark in Curacao as early as Tuesday, health authorities said.  Blood samples have been sent for testing in the Netherlands from passengers who could not prove they had been vaccinated for measles or previously contracted the highly contagious disease.  “We hope that by Tuesday or Wednesday at the latest that we’ll have results,” Izzy Gerstenbluth, the island’s chief epidemiologist, told AFP-TV in an interview.  The government doctor said it was then vital to reach “consensus among our international partners… on embarkation and disembarkation policies” so as “not to be second-guessed later on.”  The Freewinds had sailed last week to Saint Lucia, where it was placed under quarantine after a Danish crew member was diagnosed with measles.  The ship returned Saturday to its home port of Willemstad, Curacao, with 300 people aboard. The island is an autonomous country within the Dutch kingdom.  “We don’t have an outbreak of measles in Curacao. There is no outbreak as such of measles on the boat,” Gerstenbluth said.  “There’s nobody on the boat that did anything wrong. Somebody came from Europe and after a couple of days had the sniffles and was isolated and turned out to have measles. We’re trying to contain.”  “The isolation procedures on the ship were excellent. They have a confined area within the doctor’s ward — so it’s separated from the rest of the ship,” the epidemiologist said.  “In the ward, there are separate isolation rooms. (…) The patient never got out of the room. She stayed and when she needed anything, like food, it was brought to her by people wearing masks and gloves,” he explained.  The Church of Scientology says the 440-foot (134-meter) vessel is used for religious retreats and is normally based in Curacao.",0,"uk"

Young people and adults aged 15 and over who missed out on MMR vaccine when they were younger and some under-vaccinated communities have been particularly affected.  Measles is a highly infectious viral illness that can sometimes lead to serious complications and can be fatal in very rare cases.  Anyone who has not received 2 doses of MMR vaccine is at risk, but young people in environments with close mixing such as festivals are more at risk, as well as unvaccinated people travelling to Romania and Italy, where there are currently large outbreaks. Anyone planning to travel to Europe should check NaTHNaC travel health advice .  PHE local health protection teams are working closely with the NHS and local authorities to raise awareness with health professionals and local communities.

"62313","The UK is seeing more cases of measles and recently lost its WHO Measles free status. This is due in part to children who went ‘unvaccinated’ 20 years ago after Dr Andrew Wakefield reported that the vaccinations for measles, mumps and rubella (MMR vaccine) was linked to autism. However, his research was found to be wrong and Dr Wakefield was struck off.  Anti-Vaccination Movement Poses A Real Threat  Now for the fourth year in a row, take-up of the MMR vaccine has decreased. What is going on, and does this affect us in Bristol? The anti-vaccination movement – “anti-vaxxers” – and the false information that they spread about vaccines is posing a significant health threat to everyone.  They share conspiracy theories about vaccinations, false scientific research and spread stories that feed distrust in governments and drug manufacturers. In a world of alternative truths, fake news and the repeated refrain of “do not trust the experts’’, the power of social media means the spread and reach of this information cannot be managed without every single one of us joining in the fight.  The Truth About Vaccinations  Vaccination is one of the most cost-effective ways to avoid disease and currently prevents 2-3 million deaths each year. Even more interesting is the fact that a further 1.5 million could be avoided if global coverage of vaccinations improved. The reason why we all have a role to play is that, increasingly, social media influencers, some famous political figures and celebrities are now publicly stating that they support the anti-vaxxers.  These individuals do not feel responsible for the impact that they wield on vulnerable, less-educated or easily impressionable people. People who choose not to vaccinate may do so for all the right reasons but it is based on misinformation. They not only put lives at risk but they also start undoing the social norms that vaccination is a choice to protect the whole community and the individual.

"62413","A devastating measles outbreak continued to spread in Samoa, data released Monday showed, as the death toll from the epidemic climbed to 70, mostly young children.  Official figures showed there were 112 new cases in the 24 hours to Monday morning, despite a massive immunisation drive last week that saw the entire Pacific nation shut down for two days.  The government said the mobile vaccination teams had succeeded in ensuring 90 percent of the 200,000-strong population was immunised, up from around 30 percent when the epidemic began in mid-October.  However, the vaccine takes 10-14 days to take effect, meaning it is too early to say whether the outbreak has peaked.  The total number of cases was 4,693, with 229 people currently in hospital, including 16 critically ill children.  Infants are the most vulnerable to measles, which typically causes a rash and fever but can also lead to brain damage and death.  Among the 70 dead, 61 are children aged four or under.  Health authorities have blamed anti-vaxxers spreading conspiracy theories for the low immunisation rate that left Samoa’s children so vulnerable to a measles outbreak.  Outbreaks elsewhere in the Pacific, including Tonga, Fiji and American Samoa, have been easier to contain because of higher immunisation rates, with no deaths reported.",0,"uk"
"63013","Samoa ordered a government shutdown to help combat a devastating measles outbreak Monday, as five more children succumbed to the virus, lifting the death toll in the tiny Pacific nation to 53.  The government said almost 200 new measles cases had been recorded since Sunday, with the rate of infection showing no sign of slowing despite a compulsory mass vaccination programme.  The scheme has so far focussed on children but Prime Minister Tuilaepa Sailele Malielegaoi said it was time to immunise everyone in the 200,000 population aged under 60.  To achieve the goal, he said government services and departments would close on Thursday and Friday this week in order to allow all public servants to assist with the mass vaccination campaign throughout the country.  He said only electricity and water utility workers would be exempt and called on the nation to stand together to contain the outbreak.  “In this time of crisis, and the cruel reality of the measles epidemic, let us reflect on how we can avoid recurrence in the future,” Malielegaoi said in a national address.  Since the crisis began in mid-October, there have been 3,728 measles cases, accounting for almost two percent of the population.  Infants are the most vulnerable and form the bulk of infections, with 48 of the fatalities aged four or less.  A state of emergency was declared in mid-November, with schools closed and children banned from public gatherings, such as church services, to minimise the risk of contagion.  The outbreak has been exacerbated by Samoa’s low immunisation rates, which the World Health Organisation blames on overseas-based anti-vaccine campaigners.  Malielegaoi was unequivocal in his message, telling his people “vaccination is the only cure… no traditional healers or kangen (alkaline) water preparations can cure measles”.  “Let us work together to encourage and convince those that do not believe that vaccinations are the only answer to the epidemic,” he said.  “Let us not be distracted by the promise of alternative cures.”  Officials say the anti-vaccination message has resonated in Samoa because of a case last year when two babies died after receiving measles immunisation shots.  It resulted in the temporary suspension of the country’s immunisation programme and dented parents’ trust in the vaccine, even though it later turned out the deaths were caused when other medicines were incorrectly administered.",0,"uk"
"63613","A cruise ship owned by the Church of Scientology has been quarantined in Saint Lucia for two days because of a measles case, health authorities on the Caribbean island said Thursday.  The vessel was Thursday docked at the Point Seraphine terminal in the port of the capital Castries, according to an AFP photographer. One man was spotted on board.  Resurgence of the once-eradicated, highly-contagious disease is linked to the growing anti-vaccine movement in richer nations, which the World Health Organization (WHO) has identified as a major global health threat.  “Given the highly infectious nature of measles, along with the possibility that other persons onboard the vessel may have been in contact with and are now possibly infectious due to this disease, a decision was made not to allow persons to disembark,” said Merlene Fredericks-James, the island’s chief medical officer.  She added that the infected patient was a female crew member and that the ship was the Freewinds — a 440-foot (134-meter) vessel the Church of Scientology says is used for religious retreats and is normally based in Curacao.  The ship asked for 100 doses of measles vaccine, which Saint Lucia authorities are providing at no cost, with the patient under observation.  The church, founded by science fiction writer L Ron Hubbard in 1953, did not respond to requests for comment.  Its teachings do not directly oppose vaccination, but followers consider illness a sign of personal failing and generally eschew medical interventions.  Tony Ortega, who runs a blog about the group, told AFP: “When a Scientologist gets a cold, they would be asked to write an essay about who they think that is against the church that is making them sick.  “They would definitely be interrogating that person and they would punish that person because when you’re sick like that, in Scientology, it’s always your own fault.“  The Church of Scientology has various levels its members can attain that become more expensive as they progress.  According to Ortega, the Freewinds was launched by the church in 1988 for the highest level members can reach, known as “OT VIII” or “Operating Thetan Level 8.”  An estimated 169 million children worldwide missed out on the vital first dose of the measles vaccine between 2010 and 2017, according to a UNICEF report issued last month.  There were four times as many measles cases in the first quarter of this year as in the corresponding period in 2018.  According to the last statement issued by the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) on April 18, only one Caribbean country, The Bahamas, has had a case of measles in 2019, a four-year-old child who had come from France.",0,"uk"
"63813","Measles infections continued to climb steeply in Samoa Thursday as a mass vaccination programme fails to reach the infants most vulnerable to the deadly epidemic.  The government said the number of fatalities had climbed to 39 and the total number of infections was 2,936, up 250 in a 24-hour period.  Infants aged four or less account for 35 of the deaths since the outbreak began in mid-October and the government said another 21 children were critically ill in hospital.  Yet the Pacific nation’s director of health Take Naseri said a compulsory vaccination programme was not reaching children aged six months to four years, even though they are a priority group.  “We are still not satisfied with the coverage of the six months to the four years. We still haven’t crossed 40 percent of that age group,” he told reporters Wednesday.  “The other age groups are doing steadily, but we are still worried that most of the kids are not coming forward or not being brought by their parents.”  The World Health Organization has blamed an anti-vaccine messaging campaign for leaving Samoa vulnerable to the spread of the virus.  New Zealand nurse Karen Page, who is in Samoa with the Red Cross, said the vaccination programme had been popular in urban areas and mobile clinics were now moving out into the countryside.  But she said the programme had been complicated by the fact that measles had a long incubation period, when people with the virus could spread it while showing no outward symptoms themselves.  “People are likely to (appear) quite well and be spreading the infection around unknowingly,” she told Radio New Zealand.  “So you’ve got this time lag and the numbers will go up and then you’ll see the curve and hopefully it won’t be much longer before the numbers start coming down again.”  The first case was diagnosed more than seven weeks ago and Page said overstretched health workers were feeling the strain.  “The hospital staff have been here working long, long shifts every day since all this started,” she said.  “It’s really traumatic for them because they’re seeing a lot of sadness and a lot of death. You can imagine what it’s like for the families.”",0,"uk"
"63913","Please follow and like us:  The core problem is the typical good. Measles takes a trip through the air and if sufficient individuals pull out of vaccinations, they put everybody at a greater threat  I keep in mind having measles as a kid. Think me, it was no enjoyable. Measles might trigger birth problems if a pregnant females got contaminated. Measles might be deadly if you were senior.  Eventually, after vaccinations ended up being almost universal in America, measles was stated gotten rid of from the United States in 2000.  But now the measles are back– currently going beyond 700 cases this year, in 22 states. Far, 66 individuals have actually been hospitalized, a 3rd of them with pneumonia.  What took place? We stopped immunizing everybody. More than 500 of the brand-new cases remain in individuals who had actually not been immunized.  Last Monday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention restored an immediate require moms and dads to have their kids immunized. Due to the fact that some moms and dads have actually had spiritual objections, #peeee  We stopped immunizing all kids. Others have not liked the concept of injecting a live infection into their kids. Some simply never ever navigated to it.  And some moms and dads– catching growing uncertainty about science and growing conspiracy theories– think vaccinations trigger autism. The claim has actually been promoted by Russian web giants along with Donald Trump.  In a 2015 governmental argument , Trump informed of a worker with a two-year-old child who “went to have the vaccine and returned and a week later on got an incredible fever, got extremely, extremely ill, now is autistic”.  Trump has actually lastly stopped pressing this lie. Recently he tersely stated “they need to get the shots”, which has to do with as much of a concession to the fact anybody can anticipate from America’s liar-in-chief.  In truth there’s absolutely no proof linking measles vaccine to autism.  Let’s be clear. To remove measles– and other fear illness such as tuberculosis, polio and tetanus (which likewise secures from whooping cough and diphtheria)– moms and dads need to have their kids immunized.  Parents have a right to pick what occurs to their own kids, obviously. The right isn’t outright.  Parents who abuse their kids might lose custody of them. Courts have purchased that kids with cancer get chemotherapy in spite of their moms and dad’s objections.  There are likewise the interests of other kids and of society in general.  Measles takes a trip through the air. The infection can live for hours after a contaminated individual has actually coughed or sneezed.  The core concern here is the typical good. Everybody advantages if sufficient individuals are immunized. If adequate individuals choose to choose out of vaccinations, for whatever factor, they put everybody at a greater threat of contracting illness.  So what’s the reward to obtain and your kid immunized when you may choose to count on everybody else immunizing themselves and their kids rather?  Partly it’s laws that make vaccination compulsory. Right now just 3 states need vaccinations for kids to go to kindergarten without any nonmedical exceptions . If they have spiritual objections, #peeee  Most states offer moms and dads a pass. Almost 20 states do not even need that objections be spiritual– any objection will do.  So the primary step is for all states to need vaccinations, or for the federal government to action in and make them necessary. If adequate moms and dads were figured out to prevent it, #peeee  But not even a universal legal requirement would be sufficient.  So at the most basic level, vaccination boils down to a task fundamental in belonging to a society.  In all sorts of methods, each people may choose to depend on everybody else doing particular things so we do not need to– whether following ordinary standards such as not cluttering or of quiting our seat on the bus to an older individual, or just following laws that are hardly ever or improperly imposed, or handling more brave functions like mentor in a bad school, being a social employee, serving in the armed services or functioning as a very first responder. When extensively comprehended and accepted in America, #peeee  The concept of the typical good was. The United States constitution was developed for “We the individuals” looking for to “promote the basic well-being”– not for “me the self-centered individual looking for to do whatever I desire for myself and my household”.  Yet the typical good is no longer a trendy concept. We commemorate our individual liberty on Independence Day however pay less observe to our connection.

"64113","Vaccination against measles should be mandatory for children before they start school in order to prevent future outbreaks of the resurgent disease, according to new analysis released Friday.  The World Health Organization says cases of measles — a highly contagious viral infection that causes rashes and fever that can prove fatal — surged 300 percent in 2018.  While many new cases occurred in countries undergoing unrest or conflict, several developed nations registered significant rises in infections — a phenomenon experts attribute to creeping “vaccine resistance”.  Despite a widely effective, almost universally available vaccine costing pennies, more and more parents are willingly putting their children in harm’s way due in part to a fraudulent scientific paper published over 20 years ago that subsequently fed conspiracy theories about plots to spread the disease.  Filippo Trentini and colleagues from the Bruno Kessler Foundation looked at seven rich nations and used computer modelling to examine several different vaccination scenarios between now and 2050.  They found that in nearly all countries surveyed, current immunisation programmes will be insufficient to maintain “safe” levels of immunity among populations.  The WHO says the number of unvaccinated individuals in a given country should not exceed 6-8 percent of the population in order to avoid widespread outbreaks.  “This is a complex phenomenon and it may have various causes depending on the region,” Trentini told journalists.  “In high-income countries, for example, it may be attributable to vaccine resistance and to the clustering of unvaccinated people in specific groups of the population.”  Threshold breached  Under current vaccination programmes, the study found that Britain, the United States, Ireland, Australia and Italy would surpass safe levels of people susceptible to measles by 2050.  Indeed, the models showed that the proportion of unvaccinated people in Italy — home to several recent outbreaks — may already be over the 7.5 percent “safety” threshold.  In Britain the unvaccinated rate of 3.7 percent was expected to rise to 8 percent by mid-century under the current national approach.  “It’s a very difficult task to forecast future epidemics,” said Trentini.  “The results suggest routine programmes with current coverage levels are not enough to maintain the high immunity level required in the next decades.”  The authors of the study, published in the journal BMC Medicine, stressed however that mandatory vaccinations of school children — such as has been implemented in France and Italy in recent years — would only be effective in conjunction with better public health awareness.  “There are some immunity gaps in Europe among adults,” said Piero Poletti, report co-author.  “These countries would certainly benefit from the introduction of vaccinations at school entry on top of current immunisation programmes.”  Sonia Saxena, professor of primary care at Imperial College London, welcomed the research but cautioned that mandatory vaccinations might have “unintended consequences”.  “It risks disenfranchising parents and carers, as well as risking a rise in unvaccinated children being excluded from school,” she said.  “The most important message for parents is that for (the measles vaccine), two doses by age 2 is the thing to remember. If everyone did this they would protect their child and also the whole community from outbreaks of measles,” added Saxena, who was not involved in the study.",0,"uk"
"64213","Vaccination is a wonder of the modern world, undoubtedly the greatest lifesaver ever devised. Rooted in an insight first drawn by Thucydides in 429BC that survivors of the smallpox plague in Athens did not become reinfected, vaccination has prevented more suffering than any of man’s medical inventions. Edward Jenner discovered the modern form in 1796, since when the beneficial effect has been enormous. Not big enough, however, to persuade everyone.

"64513","Measles was once an eradicated disease in parts of the world after vaccines were developed and administered in at-risk areas. However, measles has made a comeback partly fuelled by a growing ‘anti-vax’ sentiment, in which people refuse to vaccinate their children due to false public information. A false study published by now disgraced doctor Andrew Wakefield linked the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine to a rise in autism cases. He has been proven wrong by numerous studies since his paper was released in 1998, but the effects live on as measles once again ravages the World.  How do doctors track emerging infectious diseases? Measles is just one of thousands of deadly diseases currently circulating the World. Doctors and medical professionals keep a close eye on emerging diseases which could cause severe damage. Some of those who keep track of emerging viruses call themselves ‘disease detectives’, among them Jennifer Lloyd.  Measles outbreak 2019: How do doctors track emerging infectious diseases?  Ms Lloyd is an epidemiologist in the Emerging Infections department at Public Health England (PHE). She shared some insight into exactly how epidemiologist track infections from the very first reports. She said: “Here in the Emerging Infections and Zoonoses section, it’s our job to detect these events as early and quickly as possible to raise awareness for clinicians, labs and across government. “To do this, we conduct epidemic intelligence.""  Disease trackers are particularly focussed on ebola at the moment  “This is a process of horizon scanning (a form of surveillance) that is used to identify and gather information about current outbreaks and incidents of new and emerging infectious diseases, occurring anywhere in the world. “This means that we spend half of each day combing nearly a hundred sources on the internet for rumours of diseases and “unusual incidents” around the world. “We look at everything – official reports from international organisations like the WHO and Ministries of Health, international and local media, and even Facebook and Twitter. “We use these because the majority of the world’s first news about infectious disease events now comes from unofficial sources, including newspapers, social media and other internet resources.”  Disease research is mainly done via comparing a number of different sources",0,"uk"

"65113","Young adults in Milton Keynes planning to attend summer festivals are being urged to make sure they’re up to date with their measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) jabs. The plea has been issued by NHS Milton Keynes Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) as measles and mumps cases across England continue to rise.  Mass gathering events like festivals can be hot spots for measles and mumps as they present the perfect opportunity for the infection to spread. There has recently been an increase in measles and mumps cases across England, particularly in young people and children. There are also several large measles outbreaks across Europe.  Latest figures from NHS England show that 231 new measles infections were confirmed between January and March 2019 compared to 90 in the last quarter of 2018. Most of the cases this quarter were associated with outbreaks in London, the North West and the East of England.*  Measles is a highly infectious viral illness that can sometimes lead to serious complications. It can be more severe in teenagers and adults than in children. Two doses of the MMR vaccine offer the best protection against measles and mumps.  Dr Nicola Smith, GP and Chair of NHS Milton Keynes CCG, said:  “Measles and mumps are currently circulating in England and Europe, particularly those who are unvaccinated and most at risk. Measles is very infectious, can cause serious complications and, in rare cases, can be fatal.  “Although they’re great fun, festivals can be hotspots for measles or mumps – anyone who has not had two doses of the MMR vaccine is at risk. Some people aged 15-25 years may have missed out on the MMR vaccine when they were younger. So, it’s important that they check if they are up to date with their GP practice and make an appointment to get caught up before attending festivals.”  The MMR vaccine is available free to all adults and children who are not up to date with their two doses. It is never too late to get the vaccine which protects against measles, mumps and rubella – all of which can be very serious diseases and are highly infectious.

"65613","More than a million schoolchildren could be susceptible to measles due to the MMR vaccine scare, warn child health doctors in the UK.  They say a generation of unprotected children are now in secondary school, where they are at greater risk.  Dr David Elliman, from the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, said he was ""surprised"" outbreaks had not been more common.  A large epidemic centred on Swansea has now affected 808 people.  In response, MMR jabs are being offered in schools in parts of mid and south Wales. Dr Elliman said there was a real danger of outbreaks in other areas and the cases in Wales must act as a warning.  Vulnerable  Measles is a highly contagious disease characterised by a high fever and a rash. In one in 15 cases it can lead to severe complications such as pneumonia and inflammation of the brain.  Two doses of the MMR jab gives near complete protection against the infection.  Uptake is now as high as ever with more than 91% of children under the age of two getting the first dose of the jab in England.  But a decade ago many parents refused to have their children vaccinated after Andrew Wakefield's now discredited claims of a link between the jab and autism.  The precise number of children with no protection against measles is uncertain, but health professionals say it is at least a million children and may be significantly higher.  Dr Elliman told the BBC: ""These children are now 11 or 12-years-old, they weren't immunised at the time and their parents haven't caught up.  Children are going to get measles - there is no question Dr Helen Bedford, UCL Institute of Child Health  ""They are now starting secondary school so they are vulnerable, they are mixing with large numbers of children, so collectively there is a large group who are unimmunised.  ""We would be very worried that that's the group we're going to see outbreaks in.""  Growing danger  Cases have been increasing.  Across the whole of England and Wales there were 2,030 cases last year - the highest figure in nearly two decades.  The health secretary, Jeremy Hunt, has already urged parents to get their children vaccinated.  Dr Helen Bedford, from the UCL Institute of Child Health, said there had been outbreaks across the country and further epidemics could be expected.  ""Children are going to get measles, there is no question, because there is a great big group - probably of the order of approaching two million children - who are susceptible who have not been immunised.""  She said London was a particular problem as in some areas the vaccination rate fell to 50% at the height of the MMR scare 10 years ago.  The government's chief scientific adviser, Sir Mark Walport, told the BBC that parents should vaccinate their children.  ""It is an example of how people forget the danger of diseases such as measles.  ""They become complacent when it appears to have disappeared.  ""But it's just, I think, very clear evidence of the huge importance of vaccination.  ""It was and has been one of the major interventions in public health and its absolutely vital that people vaccinate their children.""",0,"uk"
"65814","    A US cruise ship believed to be owned and operated by the Church of Scientology has been quarantined by the Caribbean island of St Lucia after a case of measles was reported on board.  Dr Merlene Fredericks James, chief medical officer on St Lucia, said there was a confirmed case of measles on board and “thought it prudent that we quarantine the ship”.  Measles on board the ship  Nobody on board the ship is allowed to leave until further notice.  Dr Fredericks James said on Tuesday (30 April) in a video statement posted on YouTube that “two reputable sources” had confirmed the case of measles on board the ship.  Measles is highly infectious, and for this reason the quarantine has been deemed necessary, the doctor explained.  In the US, cases of measles are at a 25 year high, and Dr Fredericks James also cited this as a reason for the caution.  Nobody allowed to leave the ship  She said, “One infected person can easily infect others through coughing, sneezing, droplets being on various surfaces.  “So because of the risk of potential infection – not just from the confirmed measles case, but from other persons who may be on the boat at the time – we thought it prudent to make a decision not to allow anyone to disembark.”  According to the St Lucia coast guard, the ship is called the Freewinds and is a 440ft (134m) vessel owned and operated by the Church of Scientology.  300 passengers on board  It is believed to have around 300 passengers on board.  The patient with measles on board the boat has apparently been isolated by the ship’s doctor on board, and is in a stable condition.  The ship is within its right to leave the island, and is due so at 23:59 local time on Thursday (03:59GMT).  The Church of Scientology has so far not commented on the case.  The 25 year high in measles cases in the US is attributed to the anti-vaccination movement, which has gained popularity online and falsely claims that the measles vaccine causes autism.  Scientology has never discouraged members from vaccinations.  This article originally appeared on our sister site, The Scotsman",0,"uk"

Last month, Public Health England (PHE) and the NHS confirmed that measles had been spotted in Liverpool, Leeds, Manchester, Birmingham and Surrey. Seventy cases of the highly infectious virus had been reported and all of the cases were reported in children and adults that didn’t receive two doses of the MMR vaccine, Public Health England (PHE) said. Head of immunisation at PHE Dr Mary Ramsay, said: ""This serves as an important reminder for parents to take up the offer of MMR vaccination for their children at one year of age and as a pre-school booster at three years and four months of age.  ""Children and young adults who missed out on their MMR vaccine in the past or are unsure if they had two doses should contact their GP practice to catch up. ""We'd also encourage people to ensure they are up to date with their MMR vaccine before travelling to countries with ongoing measles outbreaks."" PHE said the current cases are linked to ""ongoing large outbreaks"" in Europe. The health body previously warned that those who recently travelled or were going to travel to Romania, Italy and Germany without receiving two doses of the MMR vaccine are particularly at risk.

The charity was even more pleased to note the Government’s commitment following the campaign for the vaccine to be introduced into the national programme of immunisation in Kenya.  The Health Principle Secretary Dr. Nicholas Muraguri announced the new vaccination campaign, which will be conducted by the Ministry of Health in partnership with UNICEF and WHO. He stated that 42,000 health workers, 24,000 volunteers, and more than 20,000 vaccination points across the country were going to be arrayed. The campaign will be conducted from 16th – 24th May, and Dr Muraguri assured Kenyans that the vaccine is safe.  Rubella can only be prevented through vaccination and thus Sense International is encouraging the government of Kenya to work towards having rubella vaccine become part of the immunization program. Currently, Sense International is working with Mbagathi Hospital and three health centers namely: Riruta, Waithaka and Ngong Road, in Nairobi, to carry out sensory screening for children aged 0-3 years to identify positive cases of rubella. This information will help determine the prevalence of rubella, and those who are identified to be positive will be placed in an early intervention program where they will receive support including counseling, therapy and assistive devices to support their functioning.  Edwin Osundwa, Country Representative of Sense International Kenya, said:  “We welcome today’s news and encourage all children that are eligible for the vaccination to take advantage of the campaign. However, we know that the only way Kenya will ever eradicate this devastating disease is by introducing the rubella vaccine into the national immunization programme. We are pleased with the campaign being the first step in achieving this ultimate outcome and look forward to Government implementing their commitment to including the rubella vaccine routinely for all children.”  Sense International has worked with WHO, KEMRI and Ministry of Health to start the initiative of immunization against rubella. This was started in 2012.

Measles is a highly infectious viral illness, unpleasant and sometimes leads to serious complications. The disease is still endemic in many countries around the world including Europe, with France, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria and Germany among the countries reporting the highest case counts, according to the European Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (ECDC).  PHE data published at the end of May showed that measles remains a threat to the UK population, with 231 cases confirmed in England in the first quarter of 2019. The number of cases confirmed in England has been rising since 2018, with many linked to importations from Europe.  Young people and adults aged 15 and over who missed out on the Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR) vaccine when they were young, and some under-vaccinated communities have been particularly affected.  In the UK, MMR is usually given to infants at around 12 months of age, with a second dose given before school, to ensure best protection. In some cases, MMR can be offered to babies from six months of age (e.g. for travel to countries where measles is common, or during an outbreak situation).

I followed her into the space and asked what her child’s name was and whether I might hold her. I am a calm pediatrician who takes pride in my composure. I would generally ask concerns while holding and analyzing her. Not that day. “You have a gorgeous infant,” I stated. “I’m going to offer her back to you while I get a couple of individuals to assist me.”  Her medical diagnosis: haemophilus influenzae type B meningitis, a vaccine-preventable disease brought on by a germs. Her moms and dads had actually picked to immunize, however she was so young that she had actually not gotten the complete vaccination series.  The kind of intrusive illness that affected my client in 2015 is uncommon, with an occurrence of simply over 1 kid out of every 100,000, according to the current numbers from the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention  More typical nowadays: measles. A minimum of 206 cases have actually been reported to the CDC this year, with private cases validated in 11 states. These numbers contribute to the 372 cases reported in 2018 of this severe, vaccine-preventable viral disease.  I’m anxious about measles. I’m anxious about haemophilus influenzae type B. I stress that a growing number of moms and dads who are afraid of vaccines will leave their kids susceptible to these health problems. And there’s more for us to fret about.  Tetanus caused 8 weeks in the medical facility, $800,000 in healthcare facility charges  In 2017, a 6-year-old young boy headed out to play in his household’s farm in Oregon. He fell and cut his forehead, which his household cleaned up and sewed up in the house. 6 days later on, he began clenching his jaw and experiencing arm convulsions, quickly followed by trouble breathing.  He was flown to the medical facility, where doctors detected him with tetanus– the very first case seen in a kid in Oregon in over 30 years. He had actually not been immunized. The information of his case were released today in the CDC’s Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report  Tetanus is an illness of the muscles and nerves brought on by the germs Clostridium tetani. Bacterial spores discovered in soil can get in the body when the skin barrier is interfered with, according to the CDC. The CDC advises a tetanus vaccination series beginning at 2 months of age. The company likewise advises boosters for grownups every 10 years.  Fewer than 100 cases each year have actually been reported to the CDC given that the 1980s.  Eight weeks, lots of medical treatments and $811,929 in health center charges later on, the kid’s moms and dads declined the advised 2nd dosage of the tetanus vaccine.After extensive rehabilitation, he is now succeeding and has actually resumed his regular activities, according to the report.  Whooping cough that broke capillary in her eyes  Dr. Louis Bell, chief of the Division of General Pediatrics at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, definitely keeps in mind a lady he detected with whooping cough, a vaccine-preventable disease brought on by a germs called Bordetella pertussis.  “She was coughing so tough and her coughing was so extreme that she broke the little capillary in her eyelids and triggered the white of her eyes to hemorrhage,” he stated. After a remain in the healthcare facility, his school-age client ultimately made a complete healing.  For grownups and older kids, whooping cough can typically be dealt with at house with a course of prescription antibiotics, with the serious hacking cough being the most irritating sign.  The genuine threat, Bell describes, is when whooping cough impacts kids under 6 months of age.  When young babies agreement pertussis, they can have coughing spells throughout which their oxygen level drops. If it’s extreme enough, it can result in seizures, Bell described.  It is not unusual for babies to invest a number of weeks in the healthcare facility while their breathing supports and they restore the capability to feed upon their own.  The variety of cases from pertussis changes every year. There were 18,975 cases reported to the CDC in 2017, the most current year for which information is readily available.  Infants begin the vaccination series at 2 months of age, getting extra dosages at 4 and 6 months. The CDC likewise motivates pregnant females who have actually not been immunized to do so throughout pregnancy.  It depends on everybody around young infants to guarantee that they’ve been immunized, Bell stated.  Mumps gets here on school  This week, 16 cases of mumps– yet another vaccine-preventable disease– were identified at Temple University in Philadelphia.  Mumps break outs generally take place amongst individuals who remain in close contact, such as on college schools and amongst sports groups. The disease generally triggers inflamed and tender salivary glands under the ears, in addition to fever, tiredness, anorexia nervosa and other viral signs.  The MMR vaccine safeguards versus measles, mumps and rubella. One dosage of the vaccine is 78% reliable in avoiding the mumps, and 2 dosages are 88% reliable. The vaccination status of the trainees and whether they had actually gotten the suggested booster is not presently understood.  In 2018, there were more than 2,000 cases of mumps in the United States. This January, 58 cases were reported, according to initial information from the CDC  Thousands of influenza deaths every year  Every year, the influenza impacts 9.3 million to 49 million Americans, and 12,000 to 79,000 die from the health problem, according to the CDC  In addition, near to 1 million individuals per season can be hospitalized since of influenza.  “I simply looked after a kid under 2 who did not have an influenza vaccine and was available in with an extremely extreme secondary bacterial pneumonia,” Bell stated.  Influenza infection, which is triggered by an infection, can incline grownups and kids to the advancement of issues such as bacterial pneumonia, he stated. His client had pus in his lungs and necrosis, or death of lung tissue.  “I believe if he had actually been immunized, he might have gotten the influenza, however he most likely would not have actually gotten the secondary pneumonia,” Bell stated, describing the understood lower rate of influenza issues in individuals who are immunized and still contract the illness.  Chickenpox: The scratchy and blistery health problem that hasn’t disappeared  Chickenpox, the viral health problem that triggers a blistery scratchy rash typically accompanied by fever and generalized despair, has actually not precisely disappeared considering that the vaccine was presented in the United States in 1995. In 2017 alone, 8,775 cases were reported to the CDC , a substantial decrease from the 4 million cases each year in the pre-vaccine age.  Initially, just one dosage of the vaccine was advised for kids. When specialists understood that a little portion of kids didn’t install robust resistance to that very first dosage, 2 dosages are presently suggested: one at 1 year of age and a 2nd around 4. The two-dose vaccination program has actually led to smaller sized variety of break outs, according to the CDC.  Bell keeps in mind a time chickenpox was so typical, kids were regularly confessed to the health center with an issue called severe cerebellar ataxia.

"70013","The US recorded 695 cases of measles in 2019, the most of any year since the disease was declared eliminated at the turn of the century, officials said Wednesday, ahead of a campaign to reinforce the message that vaccines are safe.  The surge comes amid a growing global movement against inoculation, with an estimated 169 million children missing out on the vital first dose of the measles vaccine between 2010 and 2017, according to a UNICEF report.  The UN Children’s Fund found the United States topping the list of high-income countries where children had not received their first round of immunization, at over 2.5 million.  It was followed by France and Britain, with over 600,000 and 500,000 unvaccinated infants respectively over the same period.  The new tally of American cases confirmed by US authorities surpassed the previous high of 667 reached in 2014.  Anti-vaxxers  Resurgence of the once-eradicated, highly-contagious disease is linked to the growing anti-vaccine movement in richer nations, which the World Health Organization (WHO) has identified as a major global health threat.  The anti-vax phenomenon has adherents across Western countries but is particularly high profile in the US, where it has been fueled by medically baseless claims spread on social media.  “The high number of cases in 2019 is primarily the result of a few large outbreaks — one in Washington State and two large outbreaks in New York that started in late 2018,” the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said in a statement.  People infected with the virus brought it to the United States from Israel and Ukraine and passed it on to members of their communities, many of whom had not been vaccinated.  Although New York and Washington State have been the main areas affected cases have been found in 22 states.  “A significant factor contributing to the outbreaks in New York is misinformation in the communities about the safety of the measles/mumps/rubella vaccine,” CDC said.  In a separate statement confirming the new record, Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar said “measles vaccines are among the most extensively studied medical products we have, and their safety has been firmly established over many years.”  He added that next week, during National Infant Immunization Week, his department will carry out “a comprehensive campaign to reinforce the message that vaccines are safe and effective.”  In New York, an Orthodox Jewish community in Brooklyn has been hardest hit. They were infected by visitors from Israel, where an outbreak of began a year ago.  Earlier this month New York’s mayor declared a public health emergency in parts of Brooklyn, ordering all residents to be vaccinated to fight measles.  The New York county of Rockland declared a similar emergency in March.  Washington state’s Clark County has seen the outbreak concentrated among a Russian-speaking community. After a child brought the virus back from Ukraine in December it spread to 74 other people, mostly children, through schools, supermarkets and a bowling alley.  Washington, in the country’s northwest, declared in January a state of emergency over its outbreak of the airborne infection that causes fever, coughing and rashes that can be deadly in rare cases.  Global surge  Worldwide, measles cases rose 300 percent through the first three months of 2019 compared with the same period last year, according to the United Nations.  Two does are required to protect children from the disease. But global rates of first dose were reported at 85 percent in 2017, falling to 67 percent for the second dose. The WHO recommends 95 percent for so-called “herd immunity.”  Tens of thousands of cases have been reported in Africa and Europe. Ukraine alone has had more than 30,000 cases and 11 deaths since January.  An estimated 110,000 people, most of them children, died from measles in 2017, a 22 per cent increase from the year before, the UN children’s agency UNICEF said.  Among low and middle-income countries, UNICEF put declining coverage down to lack of access, poor health systems, complacency, and in some cases fear or skepticism over immunization.  In this bracket, Nigeria had the highest number of unvaccinated children younger than one year, with nearly 4 million, followed by India (2.9 million), Pakistan and Indonesia (1.2 million each), and Ethiopia (1.1 million).  “If we are serious about averting the spread of this dangerous but preventable disease, we need to vaccinate every child, in rich and poor countries alike,” UNICEF executive director Henrietta Fore said in a statement.",0,"uk"
"70314","Measles cases rose 300 percent worldwide through the first three months of 2019 compared to the same period last year, the UN said Monday, as concern grows over the impact of anti-vaccination stigma.  Measles, which is highly contagious, can be entirely prevented through a two-dose vaccine, but the World Health Organization (WHO) has in recent months sounded the alarm over slipping vaccination rates.  “Preliminary global data shows that reported cases rose by 300 percent in the first three months of 2019, compared to the same period in 2018. This follows consecutive increases over the past two years,” it said in a statement.  “While this data is provisional and not yet complete, it indicates a clear trend. Many countries are in the midst of sizeable measles outbreaks, with all regions of the world experiencing sustained rises in cases,” it added.  The agency noted that only about one in 10 actual measles cases are reported, meaning the early trends for 2019 likely underestimate the severity of the outbreaks.  So far this year, 170 countries have reported 112,163 measles cases to WHO. At this time last year, 163 countries had reported 28,124 cases.  Unvaccinated ‘clusters’  Measles — an airborne infection causing fever, coughing and rashes that can be deadly in rare cases — had been officially eliminated in many countries with advanced healthcare systems.  But the so-called anti-vax movement — driven by fraudulent claims linking the MMR vaccine against measles, mumps and rubella, and a risk of autism in children — has gained traction.  Repeated studies — the most recent involving more than 650,000 children monitored for more than a decade — have shown that there is no such link.  But according to WHO, global coverage for the first vaccine dose has been “stalled” at 85 percent, while 67 percent of people have received the second dose.  The provisional 2019 data shows that cases have spiked “in countries with high overall vaccination coverage, including the United States,” WHO warned.  “The disease has spread fast among clusters of unvaccinated people,” it added.  New York’s mayor declared a public health emergency in parts of Brooklyn last week, after a measles outbreak emerged in an ultra-Orthodox Jewish community, where some had resisted vaccination on religious grounds.  Calls have mounted in several countries to make measles vaccinations mandatory, including in Germany. Australia earlier this month launched a major education campaign to encourage residents to get vaccinated.  Turning the tide against measles will require “effective public-facing communication and engagement on the critical importance of vaccination, and the dangers of the diseases they prevent,” WHO said.  700-percent increase  While WHO has identified the junk science behind anti-vax propaganda as a public health threat, the data highlighted that measles still hits hardest in unstable countries with weak health systems.  The most dramatic rise in cases through the early part of the year was reported in Africa, which has weaker vaccination coverage than other regions. Africa saw a 700-percent increase compared to last year.  At least 800 children have died from measles since September in Madagascar, where rampant malnutrition and a historically poor vaccine rate are driving the world’s worse current outbreak.  In conflict-scarred Yemen cases shot up more than 300 percent in 2018 compared to 2017.  Venezuela, where the disease was once contained, has also seen tens of thousands of cases as the country’s economic and political crises continue to push the healthcare system to the brink of collapse.",0,"uk"
"70514","A measles epidemic in Samoa has now claimed 25 lives, with children bearing the brunt of the deadly outbreak, official data in the Pacific island nation showed Monday.  The government said they had registered 2,194 cases of the disease — in a population of about 200,000 — with more than half those affected aged under four years old.  All of the recorded deaths, barring a 37-year-old man, have been toddlers in the same age group.  Officials have declared a state of emergency and said a compulsory immunisation programme was making progress, with more than 17,000 people vaccinated in the past five days.  The UN children’s agency UNICEF has sent than 110,000 doses of measles vaccine and medical teams from Australia and New Zealand are helping administer them to the population of about 200,000.  Tonga and Fiji have also experienced outbreaks but Samoa has been hit hardest due to low vaccination rates estimated at 28-40 percent.  The country’s immunisation programme was briefly suspended last year when two babies died shortly after being given the measles vaccine.  Investigations revealed that hampered nurses had accidentally given the infants the wrong medication but the deaths left a legacy of distrust that hampered immunisation efforts.  The government this month made vaccination mandatory, with children and non-pregnant women the priority groups.  Schools and kindergartens have been closed and children banned from public gatherings such as church services in a bid to contain the outbreak.  Aside from the devastating human cost of the epidemic, the Samoa Tourism Authority (STA) expressed concern it could hurt the country’s economy by discouraging visitors.  STA chief Faamatuainu Lenata’i stressed that the popular tropical destination remained open for business for travellers who had received vaccinations.  “Tourism is the mainstay of our economy with so many families depending on this industry for their livelihoods, and leading up to the holiday season, we continue to advise everyone to simply take heed of the preventative health measures that are now in place,” he said.",0,"uk"
"70913","A cheap, portable device can warn of a person’s vulnerability to infectious diseases like measles, which kills tens of thousands of people each year, mainly in developing countries, researchers said Wednesday.  The test, called the Measles-Rubella Box (MR Box), uses a finger-prick volume of blood to detect the presence of antibodies against measles and rubella in only 35 minutes.  Measles kills about 134,000 children per year, and rubella causes some 100,000 children to be born with birth defects such as deafness.  Researchers brought the device — which is about the size of a toaster oven and uses “lab-on-a-chip” technology made with inkjet printers to manipulate blood samples — to the Kakuma refugee camp in northwestern Kenya where they tried it on 144 children and caregivers.  “The system had a good ability to determine whether a person was at risk for measles and rubella infection,” Amy Summers, an epidemiologist at the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention who was involved with the field trial in Kenya, told reporters on a conference call.  “This was done by detecting whether a person had antibodies to either measles or rubella in their body, either from a prior infection of measles and rubella or from being vaccinated.”  Its accuracy “matched the international laboratory-standard reference tests of the Kenyan Medical Research Institute for 86 percent of measles samples, and 91 percent of rubella samples,” said study co-author Darius Rackus, post-doctoral research fellow at the University of Toronto.  The cost per microfluidic cartridge was about $6 at the time of the field study in 2016, but technological advances have since lowered it to about $1 or less, he said.  Researchers hope the device will be useful in remote settings or places where people are at risk of vaccine-preventable diseases and other illnesses.  “This technology would be very useful in places where people are displaced by humanitarian emergencies, which right now could be in, for instance, with the forced displacement of the Rohingya from Myanmar to Bangladesh,” said Summers.  “So populations who are displaced by humanitarian emergencies are especially vulnerable to vaccine preventable diseases” because they often have low vaccination coverage and suffer from overcrowding and malnutrition, she said.  Co-author Aaron Wheeler, a professor at the University of Toronto, said his lab is currently working on a similar lab-on-a-chip test for malaria and other tests for Zika virus.  “And of course, there are many more tests than we have the manpower or financial resources to develop, but that is the dream, that this type of system with its flexibility could be sent out into the world,” he said.  The study appears in the April 25 edition of the journal Science Translational Medicine.",0,"uk"
"71114","Samoa is scrambling to contain a deadly measles outbreak which has so far killed six people and infected more than 700.  The Pacific-island nation, home to a population of roughly 200,000 people, declared an emergency over the weekend as the childhood disease has swept across the the country.  All schools are now closed and children have been barred from attending public gatherings in an attempt to halt the epidemic, while the National University of Samoa told students that exams scheduled for this week have been postponed indefinitely.  The government has also announced plans to launch a compulsory measles vaccination programme, as low coverage rates have exacerbated the outbreak.  According to data from Unicef and the World Health Organization (WHO), just 40 per cent of children in Samoa received the first dose of the measles vaccine in 2018 - and only 28 per cent gained the second dose.",0,"uk"
"71513","Samoa finalised plans for a compulsory measles vaccination programme Monday, after declaring a state of emergency as a deadly epidemic sweeps the Pacific nation.  At least six fatalities, including five children, have been linked to the outbreak of the virus, which has also hit other island states such as Tonga and Fiji.  Samoa is the worst affected with more than 700 cases reported from across all areas of the country, prompting the government on Friday to invoke emergency powers.  Declaring a state of emergency, the government said plans for compulsory measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) immunisations would be published on Monday.  “MMR vaccinations for members of the public who have not yet received a vaccination injection is now a mandatory legal requirement for all of Samoa,” it said.  A national emergency operations centre to coordinate the measles response in the nation of 200,000 people was opened on Monday, with children aged six months to 19 years and non-pregnant females aged 20-35 given priority.  However, no information was immediately available on how the vaccinations would be administered or whether those who were not immunised would face sanctions.  Children are the most vulnerable to measles, which typically causes a rash and fever but can also lead to brain damage and death.  Samoa has closed all schools, kindergartens and the country’s only university in a bid to halt the spread of the virus.  New Zealand, which is experiencing its own measles outbreak in the Auckland region, will this week send 30 nurses, 10 doctors and 3,000 MMR doses to Samoa.  University of Auckland immunologist Helen Petousis-Harris said even though measles was already widespread, the mass rollout of vaccinations could help limit the number of cases and reduce the death count.  She said it was also important to boost Samoa’s low levels of immunisation and help prevent future outbreaks.  “In Samoa, the proportion of people who are immune to measles is very, very low, one of the lowest in the world,” she told AFP.  “So if they aren’t able to improve that, this is going to happen again.”  The country’s vaccination programme was briefly suspended last year when two babies died shortly after being given the MMR vaccine.  Subsequent investigations found the problem was not the widely used vaccine but the fact that nurses had prepared it incorrectly.  Neighbouring Tonga last week announced government primary schools and kindergartens would be closed until later this month as the number of measles cases in the kingdom approaches 200.  Fiji has reported four cases but says they are contained to a township west of the capital Suva.",0,"uk"
"71614","Measles has killed more than 5,000 people in the Democratic Republic of Congo since January — more than double the toll in the country’s Ebola epidemic — the World Health Organization said Wednesday.  “The DRC (measles) outbreak is the largest outbreak worldwide. It is one of the largest that we have seen,” Kate O’Brien, director of the WHO’s immunisation department, told reporters in Geneva.  As of November 17, the country had registered 250,270 measles cases, including 5,110 deaths, the WHO said.  DRC declared its latest measles epidemic in June, and in September the country launched an emergency vaccination campaign to counter the outbreak.  WHO said that campaign was still ongoing, but was expected to be completed by the end of the year.  O’Brien said the epidemic was still “all over the country”, pointing out that most of those affected were “children and babies”.  Measles is a highly-contagious disease caused by a virus that attacks mainly children. The most serious complications include blindness, brain swelling, diarrhoea, and severe respiratory infections.  The rapid spread of measles in DRC has garnered far less attention than the Ebola epidemic that has also been raging in the east of the country since August 2018. That outbreak has killed some 2,200 people.  Ian Norton, at WHO’s Emergency Medical Team Unit, said the UN agency had begun training some of the Ebola teams in DRC to also manage measles cases, “because there is such a large burden”.  Efforts to rein in the spread of both Ebola and measles are meanwhile being hampered by violence and unrest across the country, and especially in the east.  On Tuesday, WHO said it had moved 49 Ebola-response staff out of the eastern town of Beni as insecurity in the area surged.  Ninety-four civilians in the Beni area have been killed by armed groups since November 5, following the launch of an offensive by the country’s army, according to the Congo Research Group (CRG), a not-for-profit organisation.  “The Ebola response is being hampered by the insecurity,” Norton told reporters.  “The same can be said… for the measles response, not just in Beni but across the entire country,” he said.  Attacks, even when not directed at medical staff or facilities, can block health workers from getting to work, and can prompt people feeling ill to stay home instead of seeking help.  Norton said the WHO was “extremely worried” by the growing insecurity, warning it had a dire “impact on the management of disease”.",0,"uk"
"71813","Social media giants must crack down on anti-vaccination posts that are fuelling Samoa’s deadly measles epidemic from afar, UNICEF’s Pacific islands chief said Thursday.  Sheldon Yett, the regional representative for the UN children’s agency, said “incredibly irresponsible” online material on platforms such as Twitter, Facebook and Instagram had exacerbated the Samoa measles outbreak — which has claimed 62 lives since mid-October — by discouraging immunisation.  “It’s quite clear that they have a corporate responsibility to step up to the plate and make sure that populations, particularly vulnerable populations, get accurate information that’s going to keep children alive,” Yett told AFP.  Immunisation rates in Samoa dropped to just over 30 percent before the outbreak, well below accepted best practice of around 90 percent, making the island nation extremely vulnerable to infection.  The World Health Organisation blamed an anti-vaccine messaging campaign, which Yett said was carried out largely online by overseas-based activists.  “It’s quite obvious that there are very loud people on social media making very false claims about vaccines,” he said.  “Unfortunately it’s found a ready audience in Samoa, where some people are suspicious about the quality of healthcare and may have issues with local (vaccine) providers.”  He said activists posting anti-vaccine material from wealthy developed countries such as the United States and Australia needed to realise the impact of their actions in developing nations.  “It’s devastating, it can be a death sentence for a child here where there’s low immunisation and possibly other health issues going on in the background,” he said from the capital Apia.  ‘No easy fix’  Yett said suspicion of vaccines in Samoa stemmed from a case last year when two babies died after receiving measles shots, leading to an eight-month suspension of the country’s immunisation programme.  Subsequent investigations found there was no problem with the vaccine itself, but the nurses administering it accidentally mixed it with anaesthetic, instead of water.  However, trust in the immunisation programme was dented and anti-vaxxers stepped up efforts to push their agenda online, creating what Yett described as “a perfect formula” for an uncontrollable epidemic.  The activists have also hindered efforts to control the outbreak, with one prominent Australian-based blogger last week comparing compulsory vaccinations to Nazi Germany and saying “fascism is well and truly alive in Samoa”.  Others have promoted quick remedies such as “kangen water”, an alkaline water which supporters say can cure measles, despite no scientific evidence.  Yett said health authorities’ focus at the moment was containing an epidemic that was still raging, resulting in fresh infections and child deaths every day.  But he said once it was over there had to be discussion with platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram about their approach to anti-vaccine material.  He said informed debate was important but it was wrong to allow online activists to question the effectiveness of vaccines, which the WHO estimates have saved the lives of 21 million children over the past 20 years.  “It’s not easy, nobody wants to be a censor,” he said.  “Companies have a responsibility to do it, but we also have to be honest and say there’s no easy fix where they can flick a switch.”  He conceded the clicks generated by heated online debate about vaccines could prevent the platforms from wanting to take swift action on the issue.  “We shouldn’t be naive, there are many counter incentives here for social media giants as well,” he said.",0,"uk"

"72713","A New York county hit by a measles outbreak declared a state of emergency Tuesday and banned non-vaccinated minors from public places in a bid to prevent the once-eliminated disease from spreading.  The measure, which defines a public place as anywhere “more than 10 persons are intended to congregate” — including public transport — was announced by officials in Rockland County, 25 miles (40 kilometers) north of New York City.  Due to come into effect at midnight Wednesday for 30 days, it appears to be the most radical step by US officials following outbreaks in several regions blamed on an anti-vaccination movement.  “We must do everything in our power to end this outbreak and protect the health of those who cannot be vaccinated for medical reasons and that of children too young to be vaccinated,” said county executive Ed Day.  Day also criticized the “resistance” of some locals to health inspectors.  “They’ve been told ‘we’re not discussing this, do not come back,’ when visiting the homes of infected individuals as part of their investigations,” he said, branding such responses “unacceptable and irresponsible.”  Rockland County, with a population of over 300,000, has registered 153 cases of measles, which was declared officially eliminated in 2000.  Despite major vaccination campaigns since the outbreak began in October, around 27 percent of minors aged one to 18 remain unvaccinated, Day said.  The worst affected neighborhoods are those with a high ultra-Orthodox Jewish population, where many oppose vaccines on religious grounds.  Vaccinations are in theory required to go to school in the United States, but 47 of the 50 states — including New York — allow exemptions, notably for religious reasons.",0,"uk"
"72913","Samoa entered a two-day lockdown Thursday to carry out an unprecedented mass vaccination drive aimed at containing a devastating measles epidemic that has killed dozens of children in the Pacific island nation.  As the death toll climbed to 62, officials ordered all businesses and non-essential government services to close, shut down inter-island ferries and told people to keep their cars off the roads.  Residents were advised to obey a dawn-to-dusk curfew, staying in their homes and displaying a red flag if any occupants were not yet immunised.  Hundreds of vaccination teams, including public servants drafted in for the operation, fanned out across the nation of 200,000 in the early hours of the morning.  They plan to go door-to-door in villages and towns to administer mandatory vaccinations in red-flagged houses.  The markets on Apia’s waterfront, usually packed with tourists buying handicrafts, were silent as stalls stood empty, while there was hardly any traffic in the city centre.  “It’s very, very quiet out here. I can just hear a few barking dogs. The streets are empty. There are no cars,” UNICEF’s Pacific islands chief Sheldon Yett told AFP.  “People are staying at home waiting for the vaccination campaign. The teams are getting their supplies together and getting ready to go out.”  The operation, carried out under emergency powers invoked as the epidemic took hold last month, is a desperate bid to halt measles infection rates that have been inexorably rising since mid-October, with most of the victims young children.  “I’ve seen mass mobilisation campaigns before, but not over an entire country like this,” Yett said.  “That’s what we’re doing right now. This entire country is being vaccinated.”  ‘Incredibly irresponsible’ material  Immunisation rates in Samoa dropped steeply to just 30 percent before the outbreak, the World Health Organisation said, blaming an anti-vaccine messaging campaign.  Two babies died after receiving measles vaccination shots last year, which lead to the temporary suspension of the country’s immunisation programme and dented parents’ trust in the vaccine.  It was later found the deaths were caused when other medicines were incorrectly administered.  Rates of 90 percent are international best practice. Immunisation rates in Pacific island nations Tonga and Fiji are at around 90 percent, and their measles outbreaks have been far milder.  Yett said social media had been used to spread anti-vaccination misinformation in Samoa and the online giants running the platforms needed to clamp down on such “incredibly irresponsible” material.  “It’s quite clear that they have a corporate responsibility to step up to the plate and make sure that populations, particularly vulnerable populations, get accurate information that’s going to keep children alive,” he said.  Samoa’s immunisation rate has risen to 55 percent over the past fortnight and Yett said this week’s two-day drive aimed to push it above 90 percent, which should help curb the current outbreak and stop future epidemics.  ‘Vaccination the only cure’  Even Prime Minister Tuilaepa Sailele Malielegaoi’s residence had a red flag fluttering outside it on Thursday, with the leader saying his nephew had recently arrived from Australia and needed a measles shot.  Malielegaoi said he was angered by anecdotal reports some anti-vaccination parents were encouraging their children to hide from the teams to avoid the mandatory injection.  “The only cure for this is vaccination… having your children vaccinated is the only way,” he said.  Malielegaoi rejected accusations that his government had contributed to the crisis by not acting more decisively to address the long-term decline in immunisation rates.  “I think you’re talking to the wrong people, we did it many, many times,” he told reporters.  Children are the most vulnerable to measles, which typically causes a rash and fever but can also lead to brain damage and death.  The latest figures show that 54 of the 62 dead were aged four or less and infants account for most of the 4,217 cases recorded since the outbreak began in mid-October.  A further 19 children are critically ill in hospital.  Samoa has received aid to combat the crisis from Australia, New Zealand, France, Britain, China, Norway, Japan, American Samoa, the United States and the UN.  But efforts so far have failed to stop infection spreading, prompting this week’s drastic escalation in the immunisation campaign.  Samoans can expect no immediate relief even if the national shutdown succeeds in boosting vaccination rates as the injection typically takes 10-14 days to become effective.  There have also been measles epidemics in neighbouring Fiji and Tonga, but higher immunisation rates mean they have been more easily contained, with no fatalities.",0,"uk"
"73413","The Dutch territory of Curacao said Saturday it would do what was needed to prevent measles spreading from a Scientology cruise ship, after a crew member came down with the disease.  The Freewinds, which left the Caribbean island of St. Lucia on Friday, arrived back in its home port of Curacao Saturday.  There were about 300 people aboard the ship, according to Saint Lucia authorities.  The Curacao government said it would “take all necessary precautions to handle the case of measles on board of the Freewinds,” including vaccinations.  “An investigation will also be done to determine who will be allowed to leave the ship without (posing) a threat to the population of Curacao,” it said in a statement.  The vessel is moored in an area not accessible to the public.  Three health officials had gone aboard to examine passengers, Dutch broadcaster NOS said, quoting its correspondent in Curacao.  Anyone who could prove they had been vaccinated or who had contracted measles in the past would be allowed to leave the ship while the others would have to stay on board, the reporter told NOS.  “It is imperative to make all efforts to prevent a spread of this disease internationally,” the Curacao government said.  It said the risk of the disease spreading was relatively low as many people had been already been vaccinated in the past but advised parents to make sure their children were vaccinated.  The Church of Scientology says the 440-foot (134-meter) vessel is used for religious retreats and is normally based in Curacao.  The vessel had arrived in St. Lucia from Curacao on Tuesday, when it was placed under quarantine by health authorities because of a measles patient, said to be a female crew member.  The resurgence of the once-eradicated, highly contagious disease is linked to the growing anti-vaccine movement in richer nations, which the World Health Organization (WHO) has identified as a major global health threat.  The church, founded by science fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard in 1953, did not respond to requests for comment.  Its teachings do not directly oppose vaccination, but followers consider illness a sign of personal failing and generally avoid medical interventions.  The Curacao government is asking people who may have visited the Freewinds between April 22 and 28 to report to health authorities.",0,"uk"
"73613","Poll  'Fake news' on social media blamed for a drop in MMR vaccinations in Newham  Fewer youngsters getting measles jabs because of 'fake news' scare stories on social media. Picture: David Cheskin/PA Wire PA Wire/PA Images  More than one in three children in Newham don't have the full MMR vaccination, as the NHS warns vaccine deniers are gaining traction on social media.  Share Email this article to a friend To send a link to this page you must be logged in.  Take-up of the vaccine has significantly fallen, with NHS chief executive Simon Stevens blaming anti-vaxxers increasing prominence as “part of the fake news movement”.  Latest figures show just 63.7per cent of children turning five had received the recommended two measles, mumps and rubella or MMR jabs between April and September last year, lower than the national average and far below the 95pc World Health Organisation target.  This means 1,149 children in the area are not fully vaccinated.  “Two to three million lives are saved across the world each year by vaccination,” Mr Stevens told a Nuffield Trust health summit.  “But the vaccination deniers are getting some traction as part of the fake news movement. We have seen a steady five-year decline in the vaccination uptake.”  MMR take up in Newham has dropped since 2014, when 83.9pc of five year olds had the full vaccinations.  The proportion nationally has dropped by two per cent, with three times as many measles cases in 2018 as in the previous year.  Mr Stevens explained a parent at his own daughter’s primary school had used WhatsApp to express fears about children’s immune systems being “loaded up” with vaccines.  “Nine in 10 parents support vaccination, but half say they have seen fake messages about vaccination on social media,” he said.  “Frankly it’s as irresponsible to tell parents that their children shouldn’t be vaccinated as it is to say ‘don’t bother to look both ways’ when they cross the road.”  The MMR vaccination is made up of two jabs, the first when babies are one year old, and then before they start school aged three or four.  Newham had a higher take-up of the first jab in 2018, with 84pc of five year olds having it.  The Royal College of Nursing’s Helen Donovan said: “Challenging misinformation is vital to reverse the decline in vaccination uptake and ensure people recognise the protection it offers.”  The rise in measles was “exacerbated by myths propagated largely online”, she added.",0,"uk"
"73713","The World Health Organisation warned of a “slide back” in global efforts to eliminate measles Tuesday, as the death toll from an outbreak that has killed dozens of children in Samoa continued to climb.  A total of 55 people have died since the epidemic began in mid-October, 50 of them children aged four or under, officials in the Pacific nation said Tuesday.  Another 18 infants are critically ill in hospital and the crisis shows no sign of slowing, with 153 new cases in the past 24 hours, taking the national total to 3,881 in a population of 200,000.  Emergency measures including compulsory mass immunisations and school closures have so far done little to stop the virus spreading in a country that was particularly vulnerable to measles due to low vaccination rates of about 31 percent.  World Health Organisation (WHO) medical officer for the western Pacific, Jose Hagan, said it was a grim reminder of the danger posed by “probably the most infectious disease that we know of”.  “Unfortunately the case (to) fatality rate of measles is much higher than people realise,” he told Radio New Zealand.  “This is quite a severe disease and we just aren’t used to seeing it, so it comes as quite a surprise when we see how fatal it can be.”  He said the fatality rate in Samoa was less than two percent but had been known to reach five percent in developing countries.  Hagen said increased access to measles vaccines was estimated to have saved 21 million lives over the past 20 years.  “But we are starting to have a slide back and there are outbreaks happening all over the world in all WHO regions and it’s leading to the virus being exported through international travel,” he said.  Cases have skyrocketed in Europe, leading to Britain, Greece, the Czech Republic and Albania all losing their measles-free status in August.  The United States narrowly maintained its “measles eliminated” status a few months later, despite experiencing its worst outbreak since 1992.  The WHO has pointed to various reasons for declining immunisation rates including lack of access to healthcare and complacency about the need to vaccinate.  Another major factor, which has been cited by the WHO as a reason for the severity of the Samoa outbreak, is misinformation about immunisation from anti-vaccine campaigners.  Prime Minister Tuilaepa Sailele Malielegaoi this week said vaccination was the only answer to the epidemic.  He has ordered the government to cease non-essential operations on Thursday and Friday so public servants can help a mandatory vaccination campaign that aims to give anti-measles jabs to everyone aged below 60.",0,"uk"
"74014","Just 10 countries were responsible for three-quarters of a global surge in measles cases last year, the UN children’s agency said Friday, including one of the world’s richest nations, France.  Ninety-eight countries reported more cases of measles in 2018 compared with 2017, and the world body warned that conflict, complacency and the growing anti-vaccine movement threatened to undo decades of work to tame the disease.  “This is a wakeup call. We have a safe, effective and inexpensive vaccine against a highly contagious disease — a vaccine that saved almost a million lives every year over the last two decades,” said Henrietta Fore, executive director of UNICEF.  “These cases haven’t happened overnight. Just as the serious outbreaks we are seeing today took hold in 2018, lack of action today will have disastrous consequences for children tomorrow.”  Measles is more contagious than tuberculosis or Ebola, yet it is eminently preventable with a vaccine that costs pennies.  But the World Health Organization last year said cases worldwide had soared nearly 50 percent in 2018, killing around 136,000 people.  Ukraine, the Philippines and Brazil saw the largest year-on-year increases. In Ukraine alone there were 35,120 cases — nearly 30,000 more than in 2017.  Brazil saw 10,262 cases in 2018 after having none at all the year before, while the Philippines reported 15,599 cases last year compared to 2,407 in 2017.  Taken together, the ten nations accounting for 75 percent of the increase from 2017 to 2018 account for only a tenth of the global population.  The countries with the highest rate of measles last year were Ukraine (822 cases per million people), Serbia (618), Albania (481), Liberia (412), Georgia (398), Yemen 328), Montenegro (323) and Greece (227).  While most of the countries that experienced large spikes in cases are beset by unrest or conflict, France saw its caseload jump by 2,269.  In the United States, there was a 559 percent year-on-year increase in cases from 120 to 791.  Misinformation and mistrust  The resurgence of the disease in some countries has been linked to medically baseless claims linking the measles vaccine to autism, which have been spread in part on social media by members of the so-called “anti-vax” movement.  The WHO last month listed “vaccine hesitancy” among the top 10 most pressing global health threats for 2019.  “Almost all of these cases are preventable and yet children are getting infected even in places where there is simply no excuse,” Fore said.  “Measles may be the disease, but all too often the real infection is misinformation, mistrust and complacency.”  In war-torn Yemen, where health services in many regions have collapsed, UNICEF and the World Health Organization joined with local authorities last month in a campaign to vaccinate some 13 children aged six months to 15 for measles and rubella.  UN officials estimated that 92 percent of the targeted children were jabbed during the one-week push, which ended on February 14.  Yemen also figured on UNICEF’s “top 10” list of countries showing the largest increases last year in measles cases with a 316 percent hike, from 2,101 cases in 2017 to 8,742 cases in 2018.  Other countries with huge jumps last year compared to 2017 are Venezuela (4,916 more cases, up 676 percent), Serbia (4,355 more cases, up 620 percent), Madagascar (4,307 more cases, up 5,127 percent), Sudan (3,496 more cases, up 526 percent)and Thailand (2,758 more cases, up 136 percent).  A few countries saw declines in the number of confirmed cases of measles.  In Romania, reported cases dropped 89 percent from 8,673 to 943, and in Indonesia the number declined by 65 percent from 11,389 to 3,995.  Nigeria, Pakistan, Italy and China also saw drops of 35 to 55 percent.",0,"uk"

Measles is a highly infectious disease and can be fatal if not treated, with symptoms including coughing, rashes and fever.  The illness can be prevented with the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine which is given as part of the routine NHS childhood vaccination programme in the UK.  One dose is given when children are about a year old, with a second usually given at three years and four months.  According to Public Health England (PHE), coverage with the first dose of the MMR vaccine was down to 90.3 per cent in England in 2019, from 91.2 per cent in 2018.  What are the symptoms of measles?  According to the NHS website, measles starts with cold-like symptoms that develop about 10 days after becoming infected. This is followed a few days later by the measles rash.  The initial symptoms of measles can include:  - a runny or blocked nose  - sneezing  - watery eyes  - swollen eyelids  - sore, red eyes that may be sensitive to light  - a high temperature (fever), which may reach around 40C (104F)  - small greyish-white spots in the mouth  - aches and pains  - a cough  - loss of appetite  - tiredness, irritability and a general lack of energy  - the measles rash  You should contact your GP as soon as possible if you suspect that you or your child has measles.",0,"uk"
"76712","Dozens of people at two California universities have been quarantined as US health officials battle to stop the spread of a nationwide measles outbreak, authorities said Thursday.  The Department of Public Health said hundreds of students and staff at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) and California State University (Cal State) had been exposed to a measles carrier earlier this month.  Those who couldn’t prove they had been inoculated had been quarantined, it said.  “A Health Officer Order mandates the exposed person to remain at their residence, to notify Public Health if they develop symptoms of measles, and to avoid contact with others until the end of their quarantine period or until they provide evidence of immunity,” the Los Angeles health department said in a statement.  The US has recorded 695 cases of measles in 2019 — the most in any year since the disease was declared eliminated at the turn of the century.  The surge comes amid a growing global movement against inoculation, with an estimated 169 million children missing out on the vital first dose of the measles vaccine between 2010 and 2017, according to a UNICEF report.  The anti-vax phenomenon has adherents across the Western world but is particularly high profile in the US, where it has been fueled by medically baseless claims spread on social media.  Measles is one of world’s most contagious viruses. Spread by coughing or sneezing, the virus can linger in the air long after an infected person leaves a room.  In the latest cases, UCLA said an infected student had attended campus on three days earlier this month, coming into contact with about 500 people. Around 100 had been quarantined after they couldn’t provide immunization records.  Cal State said 156 students and staff who may have been exposed to an infected student were quarantined.

It's spread through coughs and sneezes, and can be spread from a pregnant woman to her baby in the womb (uterus)Most people in the UK are now routinely vaccinated against rubella as part of the MMR vaccine, so you're very unlikely to catch it during pregnancyAlthough rubella is rare in the UK because of national vaccination, certain groups of people are more at risk from the virus. Most cases of rubella in the UK occur in people who were born in countries that don't offer routine immunisation.Often, people who have rubella do not have any symptoms and won't know that they've had it. Where there are symptoms, they tend to be mild, and can include:A few days later, a red spotty rash appears on the face and neck, which may feel itchy. The rash may spread to other parts of the body, and lasts up to five daysAs with any rash that happens during pregnancy, you should see your midwife or doctor straight awayIf you're diagnosed with rubella, it's important to look after yourself. Try to rest when you can, drink plenty of fluids, and take paracetamol. It's also important at this difficult time to avoid contact with other pregnant women.Rubella is usually a mild viral illness for adults and children. However, it's dangerous for an unborn baby.If your doctor suspects that you may have rubella, she'll take some saliva and blood samples from you for testing. You'll be referred to a specialist obstetrician for further tests such as an ultrasound scan. This will check for any signs of problems in your baby.The risk of passing rubella to your baby is at its highest in the first 10 weeks of pregnancy. Unfortunately, this is also the time at which your baby is most at risk from the infection. Sadly, catching rubella at this stage can cause miscarriageCatching the infection during the first few months of pregnancy also means your baby could develop congenital rubella syndrome (CRS), which can result in serious disabilities. If you catch the virus later in your pregnancy, the risk of this happening is much lowerIf, sadly, your baby is found to have multiple problems as a result of the infection, you may be offered the option of termination. You should also be offered counselling and support from your doctor and midwife to make any decisions about what to do next.In the first 10 weeks of pregnancy, unfortunately, nine in 10 babies who catch the infection will develop CRSBetween 11 weeks and 16 weeks the risk drops sharply, and one or two babies in every 10 will develop CRS. They are also likely to have fewer disabilitiesBetween 16 and 20 weeks, CRS is very rare and the main effect seems to be deafnessFrom 20 weeks onward, there are no reports of any babies who have developed CRSSome of the effects of CRS can include:Sometimes, the problems from CRS aren't obvious straight after the birth, but become apparent when the baby is older. These may include conditions such as type 1 diabetes, hyperthyroidism, or swelling inside the brainIf you were vaccinated against rubella in childhood, or if you've had it before, you are already likely to be immune. If you're pregnant and you haven't been vaccinated, you'll have to wait until you've had your baby before you can have the jab. Your GP can arrange this for you. The vaccine is suitable while breastfeeding, and this is safe for your baby. If you're not pregnant, and you have the vaccination, avoid becoming pregnant for one month after having it. Speak to your midwife or GP for advice if you have any concerns.While you're pregnant you'll need to protect yourself from rubella by staying away from anyone you know who has it. If you think you've been in contact with someone who has rubella, see your GP straight away.If by any chance you were vaccinated in the early weeks of pregnancy before you knew you were pregnant, try not to worry. There have been no reports of CRS or other problems developing in babies under these circumstancesIf you develop a rash, it's unlikely to be rubella, unless you were born or lived outside of the UK for part of your life or missed out on vaccinations for itOther, more common illnesses that cause a rash and may be mistaken for rubella include slapped cheek disease and cytomegalovirus . If you're unsure what's causing your rash, visit your GP.",0,"uk"
"78413","President Donald Trump on Friday urged Americans to get vaccinated as a measles outbreak spread across the country, reaching the highest number of cases since 2000.  “Vaccinations are so important,” Trump told reporters at the White House. “They have to get their shots.”  The scale of the measles outbreak in the United States — with 695 recorded cases since January 1 — is dwarfed by the situation in Ukraine, which has clocked up some 25,000 patients and Madagascar with 46,000 cases of the disease.  But it has been enough to set US health authorities on edge, shining a light on a number of vulnerable communities where parents have left their children unvaccinated — many swayed by a wider “anti-vaxxer” movement which rejects the benefits of vaccinations or claims they are dangerous.  Across the United States, more than 91 percent of children have received the first dose of the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine by age three.  But anti-vaccine sentiment — often fueled by disinformation — has sent immunization rates plummeting in so-called pockets.  This year’s US caseload — the highest since the disease was declared eliminated almost two decades ago — has been concentrated in three heavily Jewish areas in Brooklyn, Rockland County near New York, and near Detroit, and in a Russian-speaking community in Washington State.  Earlier this month New York’s mayor declared a public health emergency in heavily Orthodox Jewish parts of Brooklyn, ordering all residents to be vaccinated.  And California authorities said Thursday that more than 250 people at two universities have been quarantined as health officials battle to contain the highly-infectious disease.  The Department of Public Health said hundreds of students and staff at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) and California State University (Cal State) had been exposed to a measles carrier earlier this month.  Those who couldn’t prove they had been inoculated had been quarantined, it said.  In the past, Trump has given some support to the anti-vaccination movement, claiming, for example, that heavy doses given to young infants may be linked to autism.  “Massive combined inoculations to small children is the cause for big increase in autism,” Trump said on Twitter in 2012.  He reiterated that message while running for president in 2015.  “Autism has become an epidemic. Twenty-five years ago, 35 years ago, you look at the statistics, not even close. It has gotten totally out of control. I am totally in favor of vaccines. But I want smaller doses over a longer period of time,” Trump said during a presidential primary debate on CNN.  Global Spread  The anti-vaxxer movement, based on a scientifically debunked 1988 British report linking the MMR vaccine to autism, has surged in recent years with the rise of online conspiracy theories on social media.  Repeated studies — the most recent involving more than 650,000 children monitored for more than a decade — have shown that there is no such link.  An estimated 169 million children missed out on the vital first dose of the measles vaccine between 2010 and 2017, according to a UNICEF report.  The number of cases of the disease had risen 300 percent worldwide in the first three months of 2019 compared to the same period last year, the UN said.  The anti-vaxxer movement has adherents across the Western world but is particularly high profile in the United States.  The US outbreak has been blamed in part on unvaccinated visitors contracting the disease during visits to both Israel and Ukraine.  The New York outbreak has been traced to Orthodox Jews from Brooklyn visiting Israel, then spreading the highly infectious disease through synagogues, schools and apartment blocks to children whose parents had not had them inoculated.  In Clark County, Washington, the disease has spiked among the Russian-speaking community after a child brought the virus back from Ukraine in December and it spread to 74 other people, mostly children, through schools, supermarkets and a bowling alley.  Ukraine, which has experienced five years of simmering conflict with Russia on its eastern border region, has had at least 11 people die from the illness.

In view of the worrying spread of measles, US President, Donald Trump had called on Friday to parents for the vaccination of their children: ""These vaccinations are so important."" In the past, had expressed a Trump to be skeptical to the topic. In 2014, he had established a connection between vaccinations and autism in children - a case of Impfgegnern misconception.

He who leaves his child against measles not to vaccinate, you risk the health of the child and the respect of the child-care money.“ Marschik Martin Eichtinger, the vaccination not only to protect themselves. ""We need to especially protect those people who may not be vaccinated for various reasons, such as, for example, mothers-to-be,"" says Eichtinger. ""The vaccination rate in Austria is high,"" he says, ""but only in the case of an Austria-wide commitment can be eradicated the measles in us permanently."" The vaccination rate for four-year-olds had decreased since the year 2016, from 89 to 84 percent. For a sufficient immunity in the population in terms of measles, a vaccination rate of 95% with two doses is required.

By the way: ""Lack of vaccination can and should be in every age caught up"", is recommended. The vaccine is for children and adults at public vaccination centres as well as in the framework of the children's vaccination programme, available free of charge. When traveling with measles cases, Due to an increase in measles outbreaks in Europe, the European centre for disease prevention and control (ECDC) recommends that you should check when traveling in countries or regions with known outbreaks, in particular the immunity and, if appropriate, get vaccinated.

"58213","Médecins Sans Frontieres/Doctors Without Borders (MSF) has just finished its mass vaccination campaign against measles in Conakry, Guinea.  The following account by Ibrahim Dialo, MSF's country manager in Guinea, explains how the campaign unfolded.  ""Across 10 days, 649,000 children aged between six months to 10-years-old were vaccinated.  Supporting the Ministry of Health, we mobilised 126 teams of 13 people to 164 vaccination sites throughout the capital, including on some small islands off the coast.  Our initial target was to vaccinate one million children in the city. However, the Guinean National Institute of Statistics scaled down its population estimates for Conakry from one million children in this age group to 686,000.  Based on this new figure, we estimate having reached 94.7 percent of our target. This really good result is to be confirmed by an independent study.  The impact of measles in Guinea  Since the declaration of the measles epidemic on 8 February 2017, 3,906 measles cases have been confirmed, resulting in 20 deaths.  This is made all the worse considering measles can easily be avoided with the vaccine.  In Conakry, MSF supported 30 health centers in the management of mild measles cases, including the Nongo hospital. Here, the most severe cases were hospitalised.  Markel Redondo A toddler is vaccinated against measles in Conakry, Guinea  So far 5,004 children have been treated at these centres and 42 have been hospitalised.  This is considered a relatively low number considering how much the measles epidemic had already spread.  Our post-vaccination study will tell us how well the population is protected now. It might also tell us if a lot of cases did not consult us or possibly died at home, which would mean that people's access to care was a problem.  Routine measles vaccination programmes  One year ago, there was a similar mass measles vaccination campaign in Conakry. Considering this, the large majority of children in Guinea's capital should have received the full two doses of vaccines needed to be optimally protected.  The Guinean government will soon be launching a vaccination campaign in the rest of the country (except for Nzérékoré, where the NGO ALIMA has already vaccinated the population).  Markel Redondo MSF staff discuss logistics during our mas measles vaccination campaign in Conakry, Guinea.  However, the most important thing to do is to improve the routine vaccination programmes in Guinea: Every child should be vaccinated when they reach a certain age in their local health center. This model is seen widely in developed countries.  When routine vaccination programs work well, there is no need for expensive, logistically difficult catch-up campaigns.  Fixing routine vaccination programmes is easier said than done, however.  It would require strong backing from international partners, especially in Guinea, where the perennially weak health system is still reeling from the devastating Ebola epidemic.""  our work in guinea >",0,"uk"

A few words about measles measles is characterized as a very contagious disease. People suffering from the disease transmit the disease for about 4 days before appearance of rash to 4 days after. The measles virus colonizes the nasal mucosa and the oropharynx people suffering from the disease.

""Measles doesn't respect limit of ages rather than only those who have passed and this is about the largest. In Greece, we have put a limit to the year 1970 because then introduced the vaccine in our country and because we believe that those born before this year have passed the disease so they have natural immunity.

And it is worth noting that the years 2014 and 2015 was reported from a case of measles in Greece, and the 2016 no. According to the CDC, the measles epidemic continues to affect mainly people of Greek nationality and people in particular young children from Roma communities (approximately 70%) and people aged 25 to 44 years than the rest of the population who are not immune to measles, either because they have not been vaccinated or because they have done one dose of the vaccine, when there is immunity two doses are needed.

According to information of in.gr has the story, these doctors are young in age as they were born after 1970, which means either that they had not been vaccinated or that during their childhood they had only one dose of the vaccine that was in circulation at that time.

Theofilos Rosenberg, who points out in an interview with the Athens and Macedonian Agency that ""the epidemic does not seem to stop as there are pockets of the population with inadequate vaccination coverage"". The president of the CDC stresses that it is important for the application of vaccination in people who live or work in closed communities and expresses the hope that ""the mobilisation and vaccinations throughout the country will contribute as a catalyst in the control of the epidemic, so as not to put a question of the application of a compulsory vaccination"". As pointed out, wrongly, the population believes that measles is a childhood disease, as well as ""adults become ill, although more rarely than measles, but more serious than the children"", stressing that ""approximately 30% of cases of measles will experience one or more complications, is more frequent in children under the age of 5 years and in adults older than 20 years"". He explains that sometimes, these complications can even cause death, indicating that from the beginning of the epidemic until today, there have been three deaths, all in unvaccinated or incompletely vaccinated individuals with vaccine measles. The fact that the deaths were individuals unvaccinated or incompletely vaccinated, according to mr. Rosenberg, ""underlines the need for the administration of 2 doses vaccine against measles"". ""The majority of cases of measles in the general population of Greek citizenship were adults over the age of 25,"" comments on the occasion of the last fatal case of the disease involving a 35-year-old woman who had been vaccinated, but only with one dose. Considers, finally, that emphasis should be placed on the completion of the vaccination to the employees in the field of Health in order to protect themselves and their patients. Emergency communication In an emergency warning about the spread of measles especially in Europe proceeded the World Health Organization (WHO), as only the 2017 recorded an increase of incidence of 400% in the Old Continent. The epidemic is located in a ""large outbreak"" for a one-in-four european countries, on the basis of the data of the WHO, the who, as noted ""is particularly concerned"" by the low rates of immunity to the disease, due, in the main, due to non-vaccination. 2017 in Europe were a total of 21,000 cases of measles and 35 deaths from this epidemic. The previous year, 2016, the cases were just 5.273. ""Every new case of measles in Europe reminds us that the unvaccinated children and adults, regardless of where they live, remain at high risk of not only suffering, but also to transmit the disease to others, who may not have the possibility of vaccination,"" said dr.

In particular, declared in the Department of Epidemiological Surveillance and Intervention of the PHEA, 3259 cases of measles, which focused on young children from Roma communities, as well as young adults (25-44 years) than the general population, which was <U+03B5><U+03C0><U+03AF><U+03BD><U+03BF><U+03C3><U+03BF><U+03B9> measles, including <U+03B1><U+03BD><U+03B5>µß<U+03BF><U+03BB><U+03AF><U+03B1><U+03C3><U+03C4><U+03BF><U+03B9> or incompletely vaccinated health care professionals.

Were also recorded sporadic cases in incompletely vaccinated adults in the general population without a history of travel to endemic countries. Also, within 2019 not recorded no deaths from measles in our country. Central point of the strategy for prevention of measles, as pointed out in the PHEA is the systematic vaccination, which combined with the epidemiological surveillance of the disease are the most appropriate measures to control the disease. In this context, it is necessary for the continued vigilance of local and national authorities and of health professionals, for the continuation of the systematic implementation of vaccination against measles in both the general population and in pockets of the population with low vaccination coverage.

"9562","Measles destroys in the long term our immune system and makes us vulnerable to other infections. The measles virus deletes a part of the memory of the immune system with the result that we lose the ""immunity"" that we have developed in the face of infections that have already passed and so the immune system returns to a baby stage, reveal new research data. Indeed, two surveys of non-vaccinated children in the Netherlands showed that on the one hand, this removes a part of the memory of the immune system after infections and, on the other hand makes children more prone to new infections. The findings were published in scientific journals ""Science Immunology"" and ""Science"" explain why children develop other infections after measles and emphasize the need for vaccination of children. It was found that, after the measles, the antibodies of the children decreased from 11% to 73%. ""We found strong evidence that the measles, in fact, destroys the immune system,"" said Steven <U+0395><U+03BB><U+03BB><U+03AD><U+03C4><U+03B6>, a geneticist in the faculty of Medicine of Harvard University, and author of an inquiry and added: ""The threat of measles is much greater than we thought"". Measles affects worldwide more than 7 million people each year and causes more than 100,000 deaths. The reduction in vaccination rates has resulted in approximately 300% increase in cases of measles by the year 2018. Britain in fact is no longer ""free from measles"" because of the fall of immunity to measles, mumps and rubella. There is a need to be covered at least 95% of the population in order to prevent outbreaks of these diseases. Among children aged two years in Britain, the vaccination rates fell from 91,2% in 2017-2018 to 90,3% in 2018-2019, which is the lowest recorded rate since 2010. Measles causes a cough, redness and fever, is very contagious and the virus can be spread by coughing, sneezing, and even exhaling. From the moment the virus enters the respiratory tract, penetrates the cells of the immune system that are located on the surface between the lung and circulatory function. From there, the virus multiplies and spreads to the cells of the immune system throughout the body. To date, the investigators have reason for long-term effect of measles on the immune system since they were recorded many deaths from other infections that follow measles, but also due to the fact that the virus affects directly the immune system. In the first recent research on the issue, which was conducted by the <U+0392><U+03B5><U+03BB><U+03AF><U+03C3><U+03BB><U+03B1>ß<U+03B1> Petrova of the british institute of ""Wellcome Sanger"" and the University of Cambridge, it seemed that the measles corrode two different sides of defense of the immune system. In this context it was gathered volunteers from three different schools in the Netherlands to participate in the survey. The researchers took blood samples from healthy non-vaccinated children aged from 4 to 17 years of age and attended the course together with this 77 of children who were infected with the virus of measles to the outbreak of the disease in 2013. To deal with the infections the immune system is based on the continuous pumping of a wide variety of immune cells, each of which with slightly different receptors on their surfaces, with the capacity to recognize virtually any pathogen. ""The greater variety of immune cells we have, the better,"" said Petrova. It was observed that, after the measles, the children were much more limited variety. The immune system creates memory cells that remain in blood circulation allowing the body to quickly recognize and eliminate infections with which it has been faced in the past. However, after the measles, it appeared that many of the memory cells of the immune system no longer existed in the blood of children, a situation which the researchers called ""immune amnesia"". This may mean that children who contract measles need to <U+03BE><U+03B1><U+03BD><U+03B1><U+03B5>µß<U+03BF><U+03BB><U+03B9><U+03B1><U+03C3><U+03C4><U+03BF><U+03CD><U+03BD> for diseases for which they have already been vaccinated. The children were monitored by the researchers for about six weeks, so it was not clear how long it would take the immune system to return to its normal function. The Petrova suggesting that it takes about five years for a full recovery. The <U+0395><U+03BB><U+03BB><U+03AD><U+03C4><U+03B6> with its own research team, using a tool called VirScan (this is a tool that the <U+0395><U+03BB><U+03BB><U+03AD><U+03C4><U+03B6> and his colleagues presented the 2015, this detects all viruses that have infected a person, using only one drop of blood. The VirScan can detect antibodies against HIV, influenza, herpes and hundreds of other viruses), examined the antibodies in the blood and found that 11% to 73% of the antibodies were eliminated after the measles. The triple measles – mumps – rubella (MMR) does not create immunosuppression, with the result that it protects lifelong from measles, without, however, causing vulnerability to other diseases. The Petrova stated that the treatment of doubt about vaccines is a complex task and underlines the need for constant provision of adequate reliable scientific findings about the importance of vaccines. Jonathan Bal , professor of molecular biology at the University of Nottingham, stressed that the results of the investigations in combination with the decreasing trend in vaccination in the last few years remind us how important is immunisation not only for the prevention of measles and for the prevention of subsequent complications.",0,"greece"
